I was entertained (and that's all that matters, to Hell's realm with elitist internet journalists) and expected this to all happen since it was a Christmas themed show.

I thought the show was pretty dumb myself. Though, given their Thanksgiving show, I expected it. The costume thing was even more retarded this time around and the Christmas party was really stupid (at least Thanksgiving with the Angles was somewhat funny in some parts). Can't wait to read the Lance Storm commentary on it.

What a fantastic and worthy use of bandwidth by a great site. That is fine writing, right there.

For a Christmas themed show...it didn't really keep my attention. A few notes in my humble opinion about the show.
--"Uncle Leo" was funny. Especially later with Lethal rushing over to meet him.
--I can barely remember anything about the cage match outside of the CrackerJack into the side of the cage and the fact that its ending was a cluster. I didn't even know the match was over until the bell rang.
--I didn't really pay attention to the double pole match. I just couldn't get interested in it.
--I got a kick out of Rellik winning a match, even if he just pinned Shark Boy.
--TNA turning their thriving Woman's division into a lame Diva knockoff (outside of Kong and Gail) irritated me to a very high degree.
--Joe is now TNA's Batista. The good guy who is a complete jerk.
--The Ladder match was random and darn good, but the whole "Haha! It's so embarassing for him to wear that suit" was done...a month ago. With the same guy. I mean, why would they even agree to the match was something I wondered. At least the Turkey Bowl had an offer of extra money to the winner.
All in all...Just another show. Nothing new there with TNA.

It was quite overly dumb and very bad, even by TNA standards. The ladder match and ODB were somewhat memorable, but everything else..lets flush the toilet, shall we?

It had solid wrestling, a few entertaining angles and kind of a mildly amusing theme at times. I really don't understand the outrage. I mean, the wrestling on the actual show was all around good, and the ladder match was great. I really am at a loss as to why the negative reaction.
I mean, yeah, the Christmas theme thing was a bit over done but there's been so much worse.
It just seems like there's a core group of people who, week after week, regardless of what the show was like remark "omg that was the worst thing ever, soooo dumb" etc etc.

The ladder match was the only good thing going and while the match was great the only purpose it served was the aftermath, it was really disappointing AJ styles gave his heart out. I wanted to punch West & Tenay.

TNA: WE ARE WRESTLING EXCEPT THAT WE'RE NOT. Yeah. I loved the fact they showed a fans sign WE ARE WRESTLING during theTeam 3D segment with the midgets.

Its just spiraling out of control. Why oh why is it spiralling into something that even makes WWE look serious. God I hate Russo.

I caught the end of the cage match (eh was ok I guess), saw the Team 3D bit (was pretty amusing) and fell asleep during the Silent Night Bloody Night match. I give the show 4 Z's.
