F*** were these great! Specifically 2008 Hard Justice/Slammiversary. Just great technical/brawling/grappling/high flying matches, a little something in there for everyone (similar I think to the HBK/Angle collection) I feel like they don't get talked about enough, especially considering the spots they had in the matches (the top rope ddt to Angle, Angles debut of the stage tope con hilo onto AJ). Certainly very memorable overall and with those highlights as well.  Does anyone appreciate these matches as much as I do? |

I remember being very disappointed at the time by the Slammiversary match. Part of it was my expectations, being that it was two of the best in the world at the time, there was little to no chance it could possibly live up to that type of hype. That's my fault.
The second part is completely TNAs fault. Angle was coming back from another neck injury at the time, and he was returning very quickly - as per usual. I was very worried for him and thought he would do something stupid despite the injury he rushed back from. I remember AJ doing a dive over the ropes and catching Angle on the neck and me freaking out at home. I couldn't enjoy the match when I was legitimately worried for the health of one of the competitors who's known for going beyond what his body is capable of.

Hard Justice was clean I think. |

Hard Justice was clean I think. Yep, the Last Man Standing Match was a clean AJ win. |
