Well I watched in parts I missed a few matches because my friend wanted to watch family guy. I saw Mexico win the X cup which to be honest I didn't see that one coming, expected TNA to win it, also Kaz's leg drop to Daivari was pretty cool.
Fans Revenge Match
Was ok but I honestly don't see how Rhyno and Christian got taken out for so long, can't remember Rhyno being taken out lol. But Christian through a table and didn't get up. I am sure I saw matches where he went through them two or three matches and won them
World Title Match
I hope that 3 count stands, thank god Sting took the bat to Average Joe. Sorry Joe marks but I really don't see anything special about him, I must note that I am not much of a Booker T fan either. TNA has some home grown talent that IMHO blows Joe and the old ex WWE talent out of the water, probably only excluding Angle. AJ Styles for one is absolutely amazing to watch, so why not push him and an actual story over the world title? To be honest just about any story is better than watching Joe go through "puberty" and can anybody tell me is he supposed to be heel or face? Couldn't tell from the crowd reaction because they were so quiet.
Something tells me that TNA was a lot better when they focused on wrestling. Overall my first Full TNA experience was Impact last Thursday's and it was ok good wrestling anyway lol
OK backlash begins.... Now

Couldn't agree with you more on A.J. Styles.
Honestly, I thought Victory Road was a horrible PPV. Could have been alot better...
The whole ending left me shaking my head. I saw it coming tho, wasn't gonna be long until Booker was gonna be Champ. My experience in watching TNA, it seems to be like that. With Christian and Angle, for example, it was the same way. (Tho, Angle is legit. Christian, I'm not so sure.)
I believe they got some great talent in TNA, but just like WCW, it will be the 'writers' the make it fail, when it does.
That is my take on it...

I think the PPV was good ... They had solide matches.
The X-Cub Tag Match was amazing ... just fantastic ... just pure wrestling no storyline around it ... it was great.

Yeah the tag match was pretty good, I expected team TNA to win though. Funny that just seconds before I saw Curryman eliminated I said TNA to win with all three members left lol kind of funny really.
The ending was total car crash TV, but I want to see that title around somebody else's waist. AJ would be my choice, and there is Kaz but some say he isn't ready yet. I am a Christian fan, but I'd rather see somebody from inside the company like from the start win it.

Any fed that makes my wrestling trainer, Tyson Dux, job off first in an elimination match, doesn't deserve PPV's anymore lol.
He was in the X-cup last year, and they made him shit then too. I hate TNA.. Thank god I'm going to ROH in Toronto on the 25th.

Name drop FTW To be fair my friend told me he was in WWE briefly as a jobber, so I didn't expect much. Maybe wrestling is fickle like the modelling industry and Dux maybe doesn't have the look they want. He kind of looks menacing but in a weird way, since he didn't look really big just I guess angry lol. I thought he was ok in that match but I knew that Team International wouldn't do much in it. What I don't understand is why isn't it like Team USA, Team Canada, Team Mexico, Team Japan after all internationally I am sure that most countries could find 4 wrestlers to represent them I am sure of it. I don't get why team international is crammed and Daivari as captain?!? What's up wit dat? Thank god I'm going to ROH in Toronto on the 25th. And wrestling for serious?

Yes, Ring Of Honor in the flesh... Dux has a MASSIVE arsenal of moves and can adapt to ANY style of wrestling. He's made everyone he's faced look light years better then they usually appear. Yeah, he's a put over guy from WWE past and was on the verge of a contract until Mark Jindrak messed his knee up, costing him a year of his career. He went from like 378 on the top 500 (in 2005) to off the list until this year. If you wanna see some good promos, search for Dux on youtube, some TNT promos with Tornado (who also trained me) in Blood Sweat and Ears is a must. I just simply love the man, as he trained me till I was complete, and it only cost me $400 total. He still comes to my area and works any show I put together for free, and he's always sticking around late, or being here early, to work with ANYONE for free aslong as needed. HE is what wrestling fans idolize in a worker. Dedicated to the sport, grounded personality and always trying to get the future ready for when it's their turn.

I'm gonna sound like a total dick here but the only person on Team International that showed promise to me was Doug Williams. IMO the ones that needed to be put over were, mainly Team Mexico and Yoshino. The crowd loved them and TNA gave them no back story or anything like that. TNA may be quite bad right now but at least it's not WWE.

It's because he's canadian which is why, I elect "The Canadian Destroyer", not Petey Pump or Maple Leaf Muscle, no, "The Canadian destroyer" Petey Williams.....for next world champion......I know what you're thinking, and yes Samoa Joe could easily backflip onto his head

Petey over Samoa Joe? Could be a good match but Samoa Joe would really have to come out on top. He's hung in there with legends like Misawa and young talents like CM Punk. Petey is awesome but he's in the division he belongs in although I agree about the bad gimmick
