So...how was the show guys? It wasn't bad. The opener was good with The Wolves winning the tag belts. Shaw/Anderson was bleurgh but not as bad as expected. Wilow/Angle vs. Spud/ECIII was hilarious in both intentional and unintentional ways (also Spud may have been the most over man all night). Tigre Uno and Sanada had a pretty decent X-Division match. Gunner/Storm was an excellent I Quit match I thought (although the general consensus was otherwise). I skipped the KO's match in favour of getting some food and having a cigarette so I'm not sure how that was. Bully vs. Roode was a clusterf*** with a ref bump meaning the ref missed Roode going through the table and then Dixie (dressed up as Hipster Brother Runt) pushed Bully through the table for a Roode win even though I think the ref was still down. EY defeated Magnus in an okay but hardly mindblowing main event. Gunner/Storm was MOTN, everything else ranged from bland to slightly above average except for Roode/Ray which was monumentally f***ing stupid.

lol EY has the most generic music of all time. Okay, I haven't watched in a week or so, so did they change Aries music? Hard to have music when you pretty much don't exist anymore.

TNA recently decided they want to make it as a company without using their best talents. So AJ, Sabin and Bad Influence are gone while Aries and Joe aren't being used. Expect Roode to be next. If I understand properly, joe had a legitimate injury that took him off shows recently. Not sure if that's still an issue. Aries...I have no earthly idea why they wouldn't have just saved him vs. MVP for this show. Ridiculous, I agree. Ah, I must have missed that. My apologies to TNA then. I've been bad mouthing them for dropping the ball on Joe for the 7628385th time because I didn't realise he was legit injured. The rest of my post stands though. TNA are busy signing up guys like Gunner whilst they waste/get rid of their actual talent.

Joe is not injured. The reason off has been either him needing time to deal with a personal issue or them just writing him off.

He's been wrestling Magnus at house shows recently also. No one knows exactly why he isn't being used other than him and TNA and neither has said. BTW did anyone check his Twitch channel see if he was streaming during the PPV?

Yeah, I'd go C. The I Quit, Tag Titles & X-Division Title matches were all good, the main event was pretty good, everything else was okay at best. Solid, but nothing really spectacular.

These free Observe shows never work for me. Do I just..click on it, and it should play? Becuase I'm fairly sure I'm doing the clicking part right. Maybe my computer being from the wrong decade has something to do with it.

Hope he's back soon [personal issue] Sorry to hear that. Hope he takes the time he needs to sort whatever it is, and I hope it's not too serious. [dropped by TNA] Add him to the list alongside Aries, AJ, Sabin, Bad Influence et al of top calibre talents that are being wasted/let go in favour of people like Gunner, The Bromans, Magnus etc. f*** this company.

Maybe my computer being from the wrong decade has something to do with it. I'm on chrome, when I clicked the link it opened a new tab and plays in Chrome's media player. You could copy the link and open in as a url in an external player like VLC/MPC/WMP.

Maybe my computer being from the wrong decade has something to do with it. Could just be a firewall issue If you look after the IP address there's a :8011 that's a virtual communication port. Could be your computer/router's firewall is blocking that port number by default.

I think the I Quit match is the divisive part of the show, it was one of the big matches and they went pretty hard with it. If you liked that, you thought the show was pretty decent.To me it was Abyss-levels of "these guys are killing themselves and I feel nothing" and I hated the pace of it, so it dragged the whole show down. I missed the X-Division match, I trust that was pretty strong. The tag title match surprised the hell out of me, it was perfectly done given the parties involved. Sam Shaw vs. Mr. Anderson was horrible, but that's coming from someone who thinks Anderson is a total joke of a performer and it was a very "Anderson" match with all of his dumb faces and stuff. The main event was exactly what it needed to be. Solid back and forth match with the babyface getting a clean win, I can't complain about that at all.

Dave just said he's a fan of Sonoda, I wonder if he's more into Gall Force or Bubble Gum Crisis.

Yeah I'm not sure about the whole Aries thing. "Newz" says he was being punished for something? Only people being punished for him not being there are the fans. With Joe, isn't there or wasn't there at one time an issue between himself and Russo at one time. Not saying that's the issue just wondering.

I think it was an average show for TNA, but I have to knock it a bit for a few reasons. This is why it gets a C-
- The Anderson/Shaw match was awkward, and I'm not really sure that was the proper ending - The Impact Zone and it's crowd made for a lousy atmosphere - Silly ref bumps all night and lack of rules in the Angle/Willow match - The conclusion of Bully Ray/Bobby Roode - Missing top stars Samoa Joe, Abyss, Austin Aries, MVP

The crowd was AWFUL. Nevermind the whole "Well give them something to cheer about" business regarding the quality of the show. I'm not sure why those people even went to watch wrestling.
They didn't even care about match results. Not sure why they attended. That made what would have been just a mediocre ppv something atrocious with the fan reactions.

I love Aries but he's always had that kind of story following him. It happened in TNA first time round, it happened in ROH and now it's happening in TNA again. At the end of the day, he's one of my favourites and I want to see him wrestle so I hope they sort their issues out and get him back on-screen. I don't know if there's ever been anything personal between Russo and Joe but looking at the way Joe was being booked and how he was completely unmotivated towards the end of the last 'Russo in charge' period it wouldn't surprise me.
