Mick Foley, the young buck, was the savior for the Frontline.

Out of all six, Kip didn't take the pinfall. Wow. Cry. If he pinned Kip people would be like "OMG, they couldent pin a member of the MEM...NWO all over again, blah blah blah" |

That main event was okay I guess.

So, halfway decent show. The last two matches left much to be desired, but other than that - good stuff.
My question is - why not let AJ get the pinfall on one of the members of the Mafia? Foley getting the pin does nothing.

The 2 opening matches rocked hard, and that Angle/Jarrett match was great, but damn, everything else was a dud from me.

Shelley/Sabin & Angle/Jarrett completely saved this PPV. COMPLETELY!

Foley getting the pin does nothing. Specially since Mick can't hang as well anymore. AJ did his one spot and that was the ONLY highlight. |

that ME was terrible. Mick Foley was hitting some Lance Storm like chairshots.

Mick Foley, the young buck, was the savior for the Frontline. Yeah, you know in this match I would have had D-von or AJ get the pin. But Foley winning is okay with me. It's just well you know Foley was able to ward off Booker and then beat Steiner with a DDT rather easily. not even the Double Arm DDT, it's like the match ended out of nowhere |

Thumbs up, if only b/c of Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Jarrett, Angle, and Hernandez.

Foley getting the pin does nothing. AJ pinning Steiner or Booker would have done nothing as well. What do you think it would have accomplish? it's not Angle, or Sting who are the untouchables of the group. Steiner and Booker lose all the time. |

Hopefully, Foley has enough common sense now to stay out of the ring. It's obvious he's going to be one of those guys who can be involved with the business for awhile, but he just doesn't have what it takes physically to do a sustained in-ring match. Shame, really - but all he's doing at this point is making himself look bad.

"Cutie Kip"  Sabin/Shelley and Angle/Jarrett kicked all sorts of ass. Last two matches sucked all sorts of ass. The rest was good. Hope Nash doesn't die. |

As a whole it was pretty good, and like stated it wasn't their fault some of the suckage that happened. |

Yeah, its not like they planned Kute Kip to be in the match. It would have been worse if the crowd crapped all over it though.

Well, i think TNA sacrificed the main events for the mid card tonight. They should have scraped the world title match completley and just had Sting fill in for Nash. I don't think the fans got their money's worth with Sting who only wrestled a crap match for 5 minutes.
As for Kip. Not a big deal, can't blame TNA on this one, just plain bad luck for Genesis with injuries with Christy Hemme and Kevin Nash. Kip is simply the only veteran in that locker room that has any sort of credentials. If the MEM wanted the Dudleyz, i don't think Kip filling in on short notice for one night is a big deal. Fair? yes.
Angle/Jarrett was a great match. Probably the most entertaining match JJ has ever been a part of. The match was very hardcore without going to over the top, which was good.
Sabin/Shelley was superb. I liked how they slowly built it up and than it became fast paced like a classic X-Division match. I actually liked the ending. I think it fits Shelley's character and after they kicked out of each others finishes, i saw a cheap heel tactic coming. Well done.
Sewell and Bashir was pretty solid. Better than i thought.
3 way tag was pretty good as well, glad Beer Money got the gold back.
Knockouts was tolerable. Probably better than the Kong/Hemme match would have been.
Sting/Rhino was bad. I actually expected more out of even this match.
main event didnt do anything for me. Mick was just bad. They lost Nash. The only part that was cool was the spot AJ did.
overall, good show.

Pretty much agreed, but I think the 3 way tag suffered from "Stupid Abyss Syndrome". I'm really, REALLY tired of cartoony, "can't no nuffin right" Abyss. |
