Magnus with a big win over Christopher Daniels

Joe & Angle were having another classic before Wes & Garrett jumped them

[flame3169118]

Gail Tara & Godderz get a win over the Blossom Twins & Marty

Green as goose s**t Taz? The Blossoms have been wrestling since 2005, that's 5 years more experience than Jessie Godderz

Storm dims RVD's lights with the Last Call

The tag champs have definitely been watching their tapes of past wrestling history, trying to use the finger poke of doom from the Hogan playbook and the old Eddie Guerrero cheating with the chair trick

[El Weasel]

I thought the Aries vs Roode match was excellent. The start was hilarious, then some great wrestling in the middle. A different ending would have been nice, but it appears that TNA doesn't want to put one over the other at the moment. Looking forward to Hulk's announcement.

Before Hulk could announce the #1 contender Aces & 8's surrounded him, then Bully comes out with a chain to support Hulk & then Sting comes out with some baseball bats & a cricket bat to fend off Aces & 8's to end the show

The crowd was hot! Joe/Angle was heavyweight technical wrestling at it's finest, and I thought that the crowd couldn't get anymore louder, but Roode/Aries had the entire arena eating out of the palm of their hands. The booking for this show was genius as it catered to fans that saw brilliant wrestling and enjoyed the hilarity in the last match. The Blossom twins were impressive as well. Dixie Carter should be the next Mrs Bobby Ewing, mmm'mmmm Dixie.

lol @ the wrestlers 'ribbing' Joseph Park about going to Hogan to 'politic' his way in a good position with the company. I like the use of terminologies that Park mispronounces like 'kayfab'.

[Goldie79]

Yeah Joseph Park is a hoot! and a bumbling loveable idiot.
I wonder how long the character will last/Abyss returns.

Poor Marty Scurll took a nasty bump when he flew out of the ring and hit the metal railings. Did I see Jesse duck slightly though as Marty flung himself?

Both Bobby Roode and Austin Aries are being protected by the booking at the moment... even from each other!

Aces & 8's spoil another show ending. Yawn.

[Shockage]

Yeah Joseph Park is a hoot! and a bumbling loveable idiot.
I wonder how long the character will last/Abyss returns.

I'm happy with Joseph Park being the primary character. If Abyss ever returns, we'd probably be seeing a more refined version with no clinks.
