Great review Sanders ; )

Do you think this PPV is better than No Way Out. Those are the two mainstream PPVs of the Year candidates imo.

[SandersRobin24]

Still gotta go with No Way Out

[SandersRobin24]

Unlike ROH, TNA has live PPV and a tv show that airs pretty much right after it's been taped. The fact that TNA does have the ability to put on PPV's like this is an excellent sign. We can't see every big ROH show live on PPV so TNA actually has the advantage there. I pretty much think more people would rather watch a great show live rather than watch a great show 3 months later on DVD. TNA really delivered here and I will be more than happy to support them if they maintain this direction.

[SandersRobin24]

Some things I just want to touch on but couldn't due to time restrictions- I seriously think people need to support this PPV in some form or fashion, Hogan was not involved so most likely he won't get credit for the buyrate. I don't necessarily think the buyrate is the biggest thing to be concerned about. Positive feedback from people the streamed the PPV will actually help, particularly the Desmond Wolfe character.

Good Review

I actually thought Joe lost some weight for this match. Maybe it's just me

[SandersRobin24]

No I think he has lost weight I was just saying he's had weight issues over the last couple years compared to when he was the best wrestler in the world in 04-05

[profanityprayers]

Angle had a better match with Nigel than he EVER did with Joe.

[willierk0]

I thought the pay per view was excellent. I however don't think Aries is a better wrestler than either Joe or AJ, (AND Aries IS my favorite wrestler.) maybe Daneils, and I think Joe and AJ are on the same level as Nigel, the chemistry between those 3 are indeed amazing.

[Princeofdarkness91]

maybe because Joe is a "jack of all trades" kinda guy. He does all kinds of moves, mat moves, holds, submissions, kicks, brawling, everything, and Wolfe's moveset consists of armbars and hammerlocks turned into moves like a DDT or STO or, anything => Wolfe's moveset is mainly grappling to which Angle is more accustomed to.

[MrWrestlinginc]

Yeah I would too.

They bot had two great main events but NWO didnt have any bad matches on it. This had the 6man tag and the Steiner/ Lashley match which I really didnt like.

[coolnerd2736]

Cameraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nice lol I gave it an 8 it was a two match PPV

[SandersRobin24]

Of course not, I meant mainstream PPV.
