A half hour after the end of the PPV and no posts yet. There were some good matches but it is probably a bad sign for TNA when the only good thing I can remember is the "Don't fire Eric" angle.

Yes, it is doom and gloom when a niche crowd (posters on a message board for a wrestling game) of a niche crowd (wrestling fans) aren't posting.

I'll post the results since nobody has yet...........
dark match.. Devine pins Shark boy w/ a sick version of a piledriver..
The Naturals beat The Diamonds in the Rough after a combo top rope drop kick w/ a power bomb on Skipper.
Monty Brown and Rhino battle to a Double DQ..they battled all the way out of the building.
LAX beat Killings and Dutt when Hernandez pinned Dutt after a insane release diamond death drop , He threw Dutt 3/ 4 across the ring with this move.. it looked brutal.
Team canada disbanded on TV w/ the coach praising everyone except Eric Young. Then he told Eric it's over and soon he'd be fired. But the crowd was totally behind Young as he was in the crowd.
Senshi pins Franky Kasarian after off the top rope double stomp to chest (warriors way).
Raven pins Larry Z w/ DDT (Ravens Effect) and Shaves him with the help of Slick Johnson and Don West
Sabin and Lethal beat Shelley and Nash when Sabin pinned Shelley with a roll up... Nash and Devine attack Sabin and Lethal after match, but Jerry Lynn hit the ring w/ a chair ...
James Gang and Abyss beat Team 3 D w/ Runt in a no DQ war, when Abyss pinned Runt after a Black Hole Slam through a Table!
AJ Styles, Daniels, and Sirelda beat AMW w/ Gail Kim when Styles pinned Storm after a chair shot from Wildcat to his own partner, then a sunset flip off the rop rope by Styles.
Sting wins the 4 way #1 contender match by pinning Steiner after a Scorpin death drop... during the match Jarrett came into the ring, dressed as a camera man & threw gasoline in Stings eyes. The medics took Sting to the back to flush his eyes. When it looked like Cage was gonna win Sting came down w/ one eyes bandaged up pulled cage off. As Sting and Cage where in a stare down. Samoa Joe hooked a rear naked choke on Cage. Then Steiner knocked them both out of the ring and Sting got behind Steiner and nailed him to win the match... Cage and Sting argued after the match but ended up shaking hands..
overall not a bad PPV but not the best either I say 3/5...There is still alot of work to be done here, less multiple tag matches and more one on one would be nice!!! of the 8 people over here watching, everyone seemed happy with the results and the PPV.
tkx again

Well that's cool at least...I forgot today was Sunday (as I'm wont to do), and was too busy setting up my (offshoot of Canadian Pittbull's) LOW Fed...I'm considering posting it on these boards, although it's all Bootlegs (Pittbull uses the majority of the Official cards)...To give readers an idea of what to expect I was going to Rahl Rate all the Bootlegs at the outset so it doesn't look odd that Owen Hart totally Squashed Big John Studd (for example  )...I'll keep those interested posted in the LOW boards though.... Oh...er, um...GO TNA..!!!! ;D |

You know, at this point, I'm not enirely sure if this is off-topic or not...
I really like Eric Young, but I've only been watching TNA while it's been on Spike, plus a couple DVD's, and for the life of me, I don't remember him hitting a single offensive move (unless you count the attack from behind to break up the pinfall last Thursday).
I'm not trying to criticize him; I'd just like someone to tell me what some of his signature moves are.

Sting won? hahaha! So I guess Joe is still "undefeated" even though he has lost 3 times now?
Why Sting? I don't get it? Lame.

I for one think it makes sense to have Sting win ONLY so that he can finally live up to his promise and do something about JJJ and end this stupid angle. That said, I stopped watching weeks ago…so take that with a grain of salt.
On a side note…I actually like what Nash is doing in the X-Division. It’ll probably end badly…but so far I’ve got to give him and Shelly credit for making it work.
I also agree that there are way too many 6 man tag matches and ‘meaningless’ tag matches just to use and protect talent. Do Bubba and D-Von really need Spike to keep doing the job for them to ‘protect’ their cred?

I understand your point about Sting, but for all the hype Joe gets, sooner or later they need to give him the belt before people like youself, totally stop watching. They could really miss the boat on him if they haven't already...
seeing that they have missed the boat on AJ and Daniels I guess screwing up the one good thing they have going for them with Joe wouldn't be a big surprise.
I just hate that they are putting two guys 10 years past their primes in the main slot. Long-term wise, this Main Event makes zero sense.

I can see them going the way I pretty much figured this would go. Sting wins this match, then meets Jarrett and defeats him taking the gold off of him and maybe even putting him out of the spotlight with some "Loser Leaves Town" gimmick match. Then faces off against Joe to finish the started "feud" at with him leaving him in the ring after the PPV (which one eludes me at the moment) to be beaten on by Jarrett/Steiner .
Joe takes the title off Sting and thus puts him over. Sting has made it known that he would love to work a program with Joe and Abyss since he likes working with the big guys like Vader.

Agreed...JJJ getting the belt back, and TNA trying to promote a PPV around 'the winner gets a shot at NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett' is about the least appealing thing I've ever heard...but they've already spent the money on Sting, and they've been playing this angle out for months now...so they need to end it. Long term, its as close to company suicide as you can come.
As for Joe...the only hope I have left is that they will let all these old heavyweights fight each other, get the fans so angry and jaded that when Joe finally does get his 'push', he'll be seen as a saviour of sorts.
Like I said...baring a complete 180 by Cornette, I think TNA has already destroyed what tiny bit of momentum/interest they had going for them. Too many 'guys from the 80's' booking like its still the 80's.
Too late. I gave up when JJJ got the belt back...and REALLY threw in the towel with that ridiculous ruling by Cornette.

I guess this is where the remaining people pst about TNA. I actually watched most of it tonight and it wasn't too great but not too bad that I found something else.
There is a glimmer of hope that I saw and who even knows if TNA sees it. The Tag champs have to lose to someone and start feuding. And that has to be the top notch part of the show.
I see it as the only good, get-some-momentum-back move left. Oh and Roode being by himself should help as long as TNA doesn't squander it.

Yes, the Bobby Roode vignette caught me by surprise, but I was quite pleased with it...I really hope he does well on his own...
