The undercard was decent for a few matches, namely the opener, Ray-Devon as a pure brawl, and the Guns-Beer Money, then Abyss's match happened and yeah, there went that. Abyss wins another title, but at least this time it was via pinfall and not DQ. I'm assuming RVD will now face him for the TV title since he carved him up, but he now has to worry about Matt Hardy, who debuted and beat him. RVD's current push sure does involve him doing a lot of jobs. Angle-Jarrett was just weird. Jarrett's pre-match promo was good heel stuff, but Angle's was pilled-up goofiness, and the match itself was just all wrong. They spend a month building up Jarrett as a bullshit artist, which SHOULD lead to someone he's wronged, either Angle or Joe, to come in, kick his ass in a minute, and expose him as a complete fraud. Well, since Joe's too busy stalking people, Angle drew the straw and the blade, and lost. Big return, and he lost. HE HASN'T DONE A MATCH IN TNA IN THREE MONTHS AND HE LOST HIS RETURN MATCH. Sure, Jarrett needed the help of his goon squad and some sort of liquid to win, but good God was this just the complete opposite of what it needed to be.
Anderson-Morgan was boring, like 99% of all other Morgan matches, and Anderson-Hardy was just stupid to give away here. It would be one thing if they advertised that the no. 1 contender would have his match tonight - that's fine, but they did NOTHING.
They didn't even say Hardy would be on the show. So he comes out, does his usual TNA match, and approximately five million people ran-in, so Anderson couldn't even get the spotlight on his first world title win. And he gets to either hold Hardy's diva title or steal the belt from the other blonde, brain-damaged guy in the company. The show really underdelivered as a card, ESPECIALLY when on the go-home show, Bischoff says it'll be full of five star matches. However, it did debut Matt Hardy's new entrance video, which consists of stuff forming...some symbol, maybe a scar AND best of all, a giant "Add as Friend" logo.
You must be THIS emo to...
