Ultimate X Match
The Machineguns had most of the action early in the match and let the original participates wait for their spots later. A lot of spots, but probably the biggest and riskiest was with Daniels and Suicide on the metal X and then falling off the ropes with Daniels looking to get most of the brunt of the fall. Red wins after he followed Daniels & Suicide up on the top of the steel and climbing down to the title. 8/10

Knockouts Tag Team Title Match
Nothing really impressive with the match than what I thought it was going to be, maybe expecting a little too much. Sarita and Taylor retain after Taylor gets the pin on Velvet after Sarita have a wicked missile dropkick to Madison. 3/10

TNA Legends Title Match
The match was basically Hernandez fighting a double team between Young and Nash. The pace was slow because of Nash and during the match Young went for a pin ‘accidentally.’ However it was a great set up for the finish as Young called for the jackknife and as Nash was setting Hernandez up, Young sent Hernandez’s head into Nash’s crotch then pinned Nash to win the belt. 5/10

Full Metal Mayhem Match
Team 3D was taken out at the beginning of the match by the three other teams then all hell broke loose. Scott Steiner, if he is leaving, had some good spots in one of his final matches including a Frankensteiner off the top rope. Team 3D regained their legs and delivered some punishment. Team 3D grabbed the IWGP Titles but were then taken out of the match. Then the Brits and Beer Money then fought to grab the TNA Title with the Brits taking out Beer Money thanks to Big Rob. 7/10

Knockouts Title Match
This match seemed a little confusing. It started off with some action until Tara was taken to the outside where something either happen with a fan or something. Taz and Tenay along with Kong and ODB were either speechless or stopped wrestling, so it doesn’t seem like it was planned because Tara went to the back soon after. Kong and ODB then tried to get back into the match until Tara finally returned only for her to be sent to the outside again. Rasha came to ringside as Kong looking to finish off ODB and slid in a steel chair only for Kong to kick it back several times. It looked like Raisha got the idea as Kong went for her finisher again then she slid in the chair again just as ODB counter and sent Kong’s head into the chair. ODB got the win and Kong looked pissed. 3/10

Submission Match
Apparently it’s a 15-minute time limit, interesting. The crowd was really behind Joe and mixed, at best, for Lashley. The action was back and forth though whenever Joe was in control or hit a big move the crowd popped loud, not so for Lashley. The match ends weird as Lashley puts Joe into a submission and the referee suddenly called for the bell apparently because after just a few seconds into the hold Joe lost consciousness. 6/10


Monster’s Ball
The match had to compensate for Mick’s slower pace, but there was some nice spots thought Daffney had got chokeslammed through barbed wire from the ring edge to the floor. Stevie got taken out and a new referee came in and counted an obvious three count for Foley but the match continued because Abyss kicked out a second after the third slap to the match. Abyss sent Stevie through the tacks, slammed Foley through barbed wire, and then dragged Stevie’s limp body to slap down his hand three times to get the official win. 5/10 (if not for that botched counted it would have been 6)

Angle vs. Morgan
A good match between both men, even though it appeared Morgan didn’t seem to be 100%. A lot of great spots and move leading to a lot of near falls for both men. Morgan was able to effectively get out of the Ankle Lock and Kurt’s stamina frustrated Morgan after big moves. Kurt gets the pin with a counter/small package. Kurt then offers his hand to Morgan and Morgan accepts. 8/10

TNA World Title Match
Another good match with a lot of wrestling and a good story as both men showed their opponent respect. Your basic face vs. face match, but Styles got to show his stuff and Sting had some great moves and helped keep a good pace going. AJ hit a Pele kick from the ring apron then finished Sting with a springboard splash for the pin. After the match both men showed each other respect and Sting left for the back before AJ called him back to have the spotlight. Sting then said he didn’t know if he was finished as the PPV ended. 7/10

Overall: 6/10
