So is anyone else getting the feeling that this could be the best TNA PPV of all time? A strong card, the likelihood of the new talent going over and ushering in a new era and the possiblity of seeing the last match of an icon. Who's psyched?
According to 411's Bayani Domingo, the building is far from sold out. He also made a comment about the "stank-o-meter", but I left my Bayani-English dictionary at work.
This feels like a big night. We're opening with a montage of sound bites from the protagonists tonight.
Oh my goodness, they're letting Zakk Wylde do the national anthem. I'm not American, but if I were I would be getting very pissed at this. A national anthem is not meant to be wailed on a guitar.
The Guns are out first, having earned their spot on the preshow by beating Lethal Consequences. That seems to have been a last-second decision as D'Angelo Dinero was called away due to a family emergency. Am I the only one who finds that uncomfortable?

Daniels is going up top now and is climbing the OUTSIDE of the scaffold, Suicide is doing the same on another side, Red is following Daniels...OH FUCK Daniels and Suicide are on top of the scaffold, above the X.

They are teasing the uber bump between Daniels and Suicide, Red is now on top of the scaffold too. Daniels drops down and is sitting on the cable above the belt, Suicide is right there with him,.

Red drops down on top of the belt as Shelley is crawling towards it, Red unbuckles and retains!!!
Winner: Amazing Red via not dying. Rating: ****I just hope Daniels is OK, that was NASTY. Awesome spotfest to start us off, but that bump reminds us why spotfests are bad.
Lauren is with The Beautiful People. Velvet calls Lauren JB and says it must be the stubble, cheap cologne and Adam's apple. Ouch. They think the belts were made for them, and they're taking it home.
I'm hearing from people in attendance that they stalled the interview backstage due to Daniels needing help from the ring.
JB is with the champs. They cut the standard "we're gonna win" face promo.
I love you cameraman. Lacey tries to chat up the ref and plants one on him in an attempt to get permission to stay at ringside. It seems to have worked but HERE COMES EARL! The "You screwed Bret!" chants start and...Lacey plants one on Earl too! He sends her back anyway! The other ref calls for the bell and Taylor gets a quick schoolgirl for two. A pair of armdrags to Sky and a tag to Sarita. Sarita gets a drop toehold and Wilde connects with the basement dropkick. Sky reverses a whip but Sarita avoids the dropkick, Rayne distracts Sarita and Sky levels her with a clothesline. Tag to Rayne who gets a dropkick for 2. Tag back to Sky and they hit a double team flapjack for 2. Sky whips Sarita in but Sarita blocks a monkey flip and hits...something that was meant to be a floatover DDT. Both ladies are down. Hot tag! Wilde is in with a series of clotheslines to Rayne and a dropkick, Sky comes in to break up the pin but EATS a missile dropkick from Sarita! Springboard dropkick/German Suplex combo by Wilde and Sarita! 1...2...3!
Winners: Taylor Wilde and Sarita via pinfall (Wilde on Rayne, springboard dropkick/German suplex combo) Rating: *½WAY too short. Nothing in it really and it seemed like an excuse to get the title on the card.
Video preview for the Legends title match, leading to Eric and Nash with Lauren backstage. Eric is still butthurt about Hernandez turning down the World Elite, and calls him a scar that will be eliminated. Nash says the $60,000 is whatever you want to call it, but he's going to leave with the title and the money.
Hernandez is out first, Young waits on the ramp for Nash before entering the ring.
Hernandez cuts Nash off before he can get in the ring then nails Eric with a series of clotheslines before hitting a huge shoulder block and sending Young over the top to the floor. Hernandez follows but Nas cuts him off and beats him down before Hernandez reverses a whip and sends Nash into the post. Back inside and Hernandez drives a shoulder into the gut of Young and hits the shoulder backbreaker for 1, Nash makes the save. Knees to Hernandez in the corner by Nash, Young takes the opportunity to get in some shots too. Elbows in the corner by Nash now. Double whip but Nash and Eric drop their heads and get kicked. Hernandez tries the delayed vertical on Young but Nash punches him in the kidney, allowing Young to get the suplex. Double booth choke in the corner by Young and Nash. Hernandez gets a burst of adrenaline but runs into a double back elbow. Young goes for the cover, Nash is irritated by this and breaks it up. Another double whip, Nash sends Young into Hernandez and then follows up with a corner clothesline of his own. Hernandez fights off a superplex attempt and HITS A MISSILE DROPKICK on Nash! He almost Sidded himself there. He charges Young who elevates him over the top to the apron, but he fights off Young and hits the slingshot shoulderblock on Nash! Clotheslines for Young and Nash and a BIG back body drop to Young! Nash catches Hernandes from behind but he levels them both with a double clothesline. Young tries a crossbody off the top but Hernandez catches him...ALPHA BOMB! 1...2...Nash breaks it up!

Nash nails Hernandez as he comes back in with a big boot, then tells Eric to go up top...BIG elbow drop! Young pulls down Nash's straps!!! Here comes the jackknife...YOUNG SHOVES HERNANDEZ'S HEAD INTO NASH'S GROIN!!! He covers Nash! 1...2...3!!!
Winner: Eric Young via pinfall (Hernandez's head to Nash's nuts) Rating: **3/4Much better than I thought it would be, and with an interesting result
This should be brutal. The Brits charge Devon, MEM charge Ray, and Beer Money take one each. Looks like the plan worked. Booker hits the arm wrench and kick on Ray while Storm and Williams take turns punching Devon. Steiner takes Devon outside and rams him to the railing, then Magnus runs him into a ladder held by Steiner. Booker hits some Muay Thai knees from Booker. The Brits are in the ring and setting up ladders! Beer Money cut them off, Roode hits a blockbuster on Williams! They ram a ladder into the groin of Magnus, then hit it with a chair for good measure. Steiner has Devon at the top of the ramp and is beating him into stuff. Beer Money run the head of Williams into a chair then hit a catapult/DDT combo! Shades of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew!

The Brits are in and hit the European uppercut Hart Attack! The Brits start to climb but Beer Money cut Williams off! Beer Money both climb up with Magnus, they set for the double suplex off the ladder...YES!
BEER!

SUNSET BOMB OFF THE LADDER by Storm! CHAIR SHOT by Williams! He climbs the ladder and is within reach when Roode cuts HIM off! Roode knocks Williams off but BIG ROB! He has Roode up in a press slam...HOLY MOTHER OF MERCY he LAUNCHED him over the top and almost past the table that was set up outside. That man is too damn strong. Big Rob helps Williams climb...they have the belts!
Winners: Teamd 3D (IWGP) and The British Invasion (TNA) via retrieval Rating: ****As good as the X-Division match, in a different way. Also, nobody died. So now World Elite are going to have all the gold, instead of MEM? Oh Russo...
Ahem...LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! At this time I would like to remind you, as per my contractual obligations, that Kong kills bitches dead. Tara gets a big pop, partly because she is announced from California.
Kong attacks Tara before the bell then takes down ODB. She charges Tara with the belt but Tara ducks and hits some rights and a couple of clotheslines, Kong does not go down. Tara and ODB play tennis with Kong but she comes back with a double clothesline. She whips both to the corner and avalanches them, then scoop slams them down before heading to the top. KONG SMASH! She misses! Double shoulder block and Kong goes down! Double suplex to Kong, Tara tries a cover but ODB pulls her off, ODB tries and Tara returns the favour. ODB whips Tara, Tara ducks the clothesline and tries a crossbody but ODB CATCHES HER and hits the fallaway slam. Impressive. ODB is wearing flesh-coloured underwear. Igh. Whip by ODB, Tara avoids the contact and hooks in the Tarantula hold in the ropes! Kong charges and hits ODB with an avalanche! Hip toss to Tara, a whip by Kong but she charges into Tara's foot. ODB scrambles for a quick cover! 1..2...no. Tara on the top...GORGEOUS moonsault press to ODB and Kong! She covers ODB! 1...2...no. Kong lifts Tara by the throat and dumps her to the outside. Hmmm...a fan seemingly attacks Tara in the audience before security breaks it up, and I bet that's Kim Couture or whatever her name is. Kong and ODB are unsure how to proceed as Tara...is leaving? ODB hits some shots to the chest of Kong and tries a TKO...Kong blocks with a foreram to the back, whips ODB and misses the charge. Stinger splash by ODB! Wow the crowd has died since Tara left. ODB tries to lift Kong again for the TKO...she gets her up! Samoan Drop gets 2! Kong catches ODB coming off the top then runs her into the corner. Kong climbs the ropes again but Tara is back out to stop that idea. Kong kicks her to the floor...KONG SPLASH!!!! 1...2...2.946! Tara breaks the pin but gets chokeslammed and push-kicked to the floor. IMPLANT BUSTER to ODB! 1...2...2.907! See, she bounced off her implants. THEY DID NOT BUST! Saeed is out now and slides a chair into the ring! Kong kicks it back out, but Saeed wants her to use it. Kong has her up for the Awesome Bomb, Saeed slides the chair under ODB who REVERSES IT INTO A FACEBUSTER! 1...2...3!!!
Winner: ODB via pinfall (Awesome Bomb reversal into a chair) Rating: ***That was really good, although the Tara leaving part came off weird.
MMA vs. TNA Submission Only Match: Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Lashley
15 minute time limit here, which suggests a draw to me. Lashley's ribs are still taped.
They try some takedowns early but neither man gets anywhere. Joe backs Lashley into the corner and slaps him a couple of times. Dumb. HOLY SHIT Lashley leaps clean over a charging Joe and hits a HARD spinebuster before trying an armbar. Joe turns into it and mounts with some punches, a body kick is blocked so Joe rolls into a leg bar. Lashley breaks it, gets a single leg go-behind and gets the rear mount. Good gried they showed Krystal in the crowd. Shots by Bobby, he whips Joe in but Joe slides under the bottom rope to the floor. Back inside, Joe goes to work with some leg kicks, then kicks Earl Hebner before hitting an enziguiri on Lashley! Lashley goes to the floor and Joe hits the elbow suicida to the outside! Joe continues to work on Lashley on the outside. He rolls Lashley in, Lashley tries to leapfrog Joe again but Joe sees it coming and punches Lashley in the ribs. Abdominal stretch applied by Joe. Hip toss by Lashley to escape, he comes off the ropes but Joe catches him with a snap powerslam! Armbar attempt by Joe, Lashley blocks and turns into a mount! Strikes by Lashley, Joe gets to his feet and backs Lashley into the corner before attacking the ribs. Jabs by Joe (sounds like a designer line of inocculations...) but Lashley catches a full nelson slam out of nowhere! Elbow by Lashley and a T-Bone suplex, this is the best I've seen from Lashley. He charges Joe in the corner but Joe catches him with the STJoe! URANAGE! Joe goes for another Uranage but Lashley blocks! STO! ANACONDA VISE! Hebner calls for the bell saying Joe is out!!!
Winner: Bobby Lashley via chokeout (Anaconda Vise) Rating ***½WAY better than I thought. This is the way wrestling can attract some MMA fans. I hope they're not rehashing Hebner screwjobs again though.
Monster's Ball Match: Mick Foley vs. Abyss
God the Monster's Ball has changed. Remember when the participants were locked in isolation for 24 hours before the match? Stevie is out, followed by Abyss, and FOLEY charges him on the ramp with Barbie!
BREAKING NEWS! Daniels has Tweeted:
I am sore, but alive. Thank you everyone for checking on me.
Thank God for that. Back to the match, and Foley is pounding on Abyss atop the ramp, then hits a spinning neckbreaker. Foley climbs up the scaffold at the top of the ramp, Abyss is up and he climbs too. They're a little higher than a top rope right now. Foley punches Abyss repeatedly, knocking him off AND THROUGH THE STAGE!! Foley climbs down and Stevie gives him Barbie...FOLEY WITH A RUNNING DIVE down on to Abyss with Barbie! Dr Stevie is telling Foley that he's done, and Foley is celebrating as they head back to the ring. Foley says they should get in the ring and count the sumbitch out, but ABYSS IS UP! He comes up from under the ramp through a trapdoor! Foley charges but gets levelled with a clothesline from Abyss, who heads back to the ring. Foley is right behind him but gets met with a right hand and thrown back in the ring. Abyss has already thrown in some weapons and now he wants to throw in the railing. No, he was just rearranging it and now he props a barbed wire board between the ring and the railing. Abyss goes back in, blocks a trash can shot and then nails Foley with some trash can shots of his own. Abyss grabs the other barbed wire board and goozles Foley, Foley fights out...DOUBLE ARM DDT into the barbed wire!!! Foley's hair is tangled in the wire. Barbie is back in play as Foley grinds it into Abyss's head. Another shot with Barbie. Foley props a barbed wire board in the corner and goes back to Abyss who is bleeding from his head and arm. Whip into the board by Foley...REVERSED! Foley really does get tangled in that shit. Abyss takes a running charge...FOLEY MOVES!!! Abyss goes face-first into the barbed wire! Stevie and Foley then ppush Abyss and the barbed wire board down onto the other board on the mat! ABYSS SANDWICH! Foley drops the elbow onto the sandwich! As if it wasn't sucking enough for Abyss. Foley is looking for more unpleasantness now as he has...TACKS! Ohhh this won't end well. Abyss manages to gain control, teases the chokeslam into the tacks but Stevie stops him. Ummm...why not let him, then disqualify him? Abyss settles for the Shock Treatment on Stevie instead. Well, here comes Zombie Hot Daffney! And yes, she has a tazer. Foley tazes Abyss! Another ref is out to make the count! 1...2...3??? NO!!! Apparently the ref has to count to 4 when he's a replacement. The crowd is crapping on that, but Daffney getting chokeslammed into barbed wire quickly changes their minds. Dr Stevie gets a-tacked with a Black Hole Slam. And now poor Mick...CHOKESLAM into the barbed wire! Abyss picks up Stevie's hand...1...2...3!
Winner: Abyss via "pinfall" (chokeslam into barbed wire) Rating: **½Tough to rate this. On one hand you have to respect what these two did for our enjoyment, but it was overbooked and gimmicky, the finish felt stupid and the tazer nonsense is just off the charts.
Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan
JB gets in a word with Angle. He's confident. Then again if he wasn't, he wouldn't be Kurt Angle.
Angle is hesitant before getting in the ring and locking up with Morgan. Slow to start. They lockup again and Morgan sends Angle over the top rope. FEEL THE POWARR! Angle again avoids Morgan, guess that. Back in the ring and Angle hits an uppercut and goes to the top rope, Morgan goes for the goozle which Angle is able to escape. Morgan lays in the sick back elbow sequence then hits a reverse chokeslam. Morgan in control. He actually takes time out to go give high fives to the fans. That might just come back to haunt him. Angle knocks Morgan out of the ring and goes for a dive but Morgan catches him and slams him spine-first into the corner. They make their way back into the ring where Morgan hits a double fist off the top rope followed by a missed Carbon Footprint. Angle goes to work on Morgan's leg, Indian Deathlock chained into a Figure Four. Morgan tries to reverse and eventually is able to but Angle gets to the ropes. Morgan clotheslines Angle on his knees and then nails Angle twice. He then hits a side slam for a near fall. Angle tries to go up top but is caught, leading to Morgan hitting a fallaway slam. He goes for a chokeslam but Angle gets out of it, Morgan eventually hits it for a two count. Hellavator gets countered by Angle, GERMAN! Twice! THRICE!! Morgan counters an Angle Slam and CARBON FOOTPRINT! 1...2...no! Morgan rushes at Angle but gets hit with the Angle Slam! 1...2...NO! Ankle Lock!!! Morgan gets out of it and goes for a powerbomb which Angle counters into another Ankle Lock. Morgan again gets out. Angle rushes at Morgan but ends up hitting the steel post, leaving Morgan open to hit the Hellavator!!! 1...2...2.9007!!!! Morgan goes for a Tombstone but Angle gets out of it and again locks in an Ankle Lock. Morgan eventually gets out of it and hits a huge clothesline for two. Crowd chanting "Morgan Sucks." Morgan goes up to the top rope but Angle gets up and hits a belly to belly suplex, followed by an Angle Slam1 Angle then hits a Frog Splash!!!!! 1...2...NO!!!!! Angle heads back to the top, Morgan is up, victory roll by Angle!
1...2...3!
Winner: Kurt Angle via pinfall (Victory roll) Rating: ***½Morgan showed a lot here and Angle gave him a lot, but the result clearly means AJ-Angle for the title next
Sting gets a crazy ovation, but so does AJ. They have a tough one to follow that's for sure.
AJ grabs a headlock off the bat, Sting reverses into one of his own. AJ gets a hip toss and grabs the headlock again. Sting pushes him off and gets his own hip toss, only higher. Sting pushes AJ off again, they each reverse a hip toss but Sting's takes AJ over the top to the apron. AJ springboards back in, Sting ducks under it and they look at each other with respect. They work another quick exchange with AJ missing a knee drop. Snap mare by AJ and a kick to the spine, he gets a scoop slam and this time connects with the high knee drop for 2. AJ charges but Sting sidesteps and sends AJ careening upside down into the corner, then gets a HARD whip on AJ. He clotheslines AJ out to the floor where he regroups. Sting holds the ropes open for AJ who comes back in. Suplex by AJ gets 2. Chops in the corner and a stiff whip by AJ and Sting is hurt. AJ drops his head on a backdrop and gets kicked, then eats the mat on 2 facebusters. Whiip by Sting and he shows AJ how to do a back body drop, sending AJ HIGH. AJ fights back and hits that SWEET dropkick, sending Sting to the floor. AJ fakes a jump but lands on the apron, Sting was moving anyway. AJ chases along the apron and tries the foreram to the outside but Sting moves! AJ eats barricade! Sting backs off, then charges...STINGER SPLASH MISSES! He bent the barricade!!!AJ goes back into the ring instead of pressing the advantage outside. AJ gets a go-behind, Sting elbows out and they exchange punches. AJ misses a Stinger Splash, so does Sting. AJ charges again but eats a boot. Sting goes to the second rope but AJ is up and drags him off the top into a tombstone position!!! Sting kicks and reverses! NAILS THE TOMBSTONE! 1...2...no! AJ rolls to the outside, Sting goes to meet him but is met with forearms. Springboard flying forearm! 1...2...no.

AJ will not quit! He manages to fight it off and lays in some shots but Sting hulks up! He nails a clothesline for 2. sting positions AJ on the top rope but AJ fights him off, then falls down to the apron. Sting goes over to him PELE! On the apron! Springboard splash!!! 1...2...3
Winner: AJ Styles via pinfall (springboard splash) Rating: ***This was actually too short to be any higher. I reckon we get the feel good moment as Sting says goodbye now.
Sting leaves but AJ calls him back on a VERY bad mic.
Sting comes back to the ring amid chants of "Please don't go". He says the moment is not about him, it's about the new world champion. If he's gonna lose, he's glad it's to someone like AJ Styles. He's also glad to lose at home. "You've still got it" - Orange County. He says he will address the issue everyone has been asking about as the crowd chants for one more year. He's not pulling a Brett Favre but he was not prepared to make a big announcement tonight, and he's not pulling a "kayfabe teaser" (his words) but he's being honest, and the way the fans are reacting right now he wants to stay forever. His music hits as Sting leaves to a rousing ovation.
Posted By: saiyahog84 (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 07:37 PM
I can totally see Sting winning the title tonight, only to lose it back to Styles on Impact. Let's face it, it wouldn't be a first for Sting. And that way, AJ gets the title back in time for his advertised title match at the next pay-per-view and Russo can have his "epic swerve."

Posted By: lilboosie (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 07:54 PM
A shitty company like TNA, who can barely rival a pampered 16-year old's birthday party when it comes to drawing in attendances, are no doubt going to pay even more attention to the internet/dirt sheets than the far more professional company they ludicrously purport to compete with.
Due to that, and because of the widely-reported spoiler released earlier this week, it will come as no surprise for them to 'swerve' the internet and throw the belt on that worthless, irrelevant has-been Sting, further farting in the face of all those TNA apologists who pointed to this cruddy little PPV as being the moment the dominance of the decrepit would end...
Posted By: Chungles (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 08:00 PM
Sting will win, or else he'll lose via screwjob and AJ will encourage him not to retire so he can seek revenge.
Tired of Eric Young and Kevin Nash.
Already sick of Lashley. He (or his management) will start demanding that he win his matches so as not to hurt his power to draw in MMA.
X-Division is a clusterfuck throw-together match, or else I'd like it. Hell, just Daniels and Homicide makes it good.
Posted By: Scott B (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 08:03 PM
I bought it. This is TNA's last chance for me personally. If they impress I will buy more...but if they disappoint me it will be my last TNA ppv purchase.
Posted By: Dan (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 08:03 PM
You guys are crazy. No way Sting gets the title off the pole before A.J. But I think Nash will retain and get the Legends title from the pole.
Joe vs. Lashley will be the match of the night though. I'm going to go on record saying Lashley will get to the top of the pole first.
TNA FTW!
Posted By: General Sandoval (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 08:04 PM
The Russo swerve is happening tonight. Sting undefeated at Bound For Glory. He will then lose the title shortly after before the next PPV so the advertisements can be right for their next PPV.
Posted By: Truff (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 08:05 PM
I think this PPV is gonna rock, could very well be the best PPV of the year. It just goes to show how biased and ignorant fans have become towards anything TNA-related when this sick-looking event is getting no real attention whatsoever... I could understand it if WWE was rocking right now, but the sad fact is the last few months of WWE PPV's and TV broadcasts have sucked major donkey dick on a regular basis. Breaking Point and Hell In A Cell were two of the lamest PPVs I've seen in the last few years.

I Wanted to order it, but just couldn't do it. Hopefully it'll be good, then I'll buy the DVD. And stop the TNA hating. I'm sure it'll be a good show and the IWC marks are finally getting what they want (the 'Young Guys' going over) and theyre still complaining. Relax...and enjoy the show (or this commentary).

I am wondering who is gonna turn first in the 3-way?
I like the dynamic. I like the way they sold Eric accident in going for the pin.
Eric eats the pin here and Nash gets a rematch. I am guessing.
Holy crap. Hernandez got some damn air on the dive. WOW.
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve. Showtime baby. I liked it. Eddie. Cheat to win style.
ok so I am back up to 15.99. I will give that a $6 rating.

I thought Zakk's National Anth. was good.
Anyway I at at 22.99 of my 39.99.
The tag title match was ok but kinda convoluted due to the stupid duel tag title stipulation.
The guys gave a great effort and Steiner stepped it up a notch.
The finish was ok and now the Invasion are champs and Dudleys can do something with Rhino and someone.
It was an overall positive match.
Hope the Knockouts match doesn't make me go negative again. I am just not big on the ladies divisions lately.

They are breaking up MEM, so the World Elite is going to be the new stable of TNA. Also, tag team titles have to go to someone. titles usually default to the heel's posession...unless your Cena. It's not Russo....it's just common sense to put titles on heels genius

Drop toe hold.
HOLY SHIT THAT BITCH IS SICK!!! AWESOME BUMP
Stevie into that tacks...
Foley onto the wire...
Aw hell why not...1,2,3.
Abyss.
That was fun. If the Ref's dumbass doesn't blow the spot that woulda been flawless. He needs to be fired. YOU DON'T COUNT THREE EVEN if you have to fake a heart attack.
Good stuff. That was better than the tag sans the blowing spot.
Sick performance by all.

Angle put over Morgan early in the match big time. It was very good story telling early. The let's go Angle chant was sorta surprising.
Holy shit. Amazing and Kurt kicks out of the Hellavator...So does Morgan.
This is awesome chant. I agree. Angles latched on ten times. Cant finish the Old guy.
Morgan sucks? he is part of this match. Its doesnt suck. TNA fans. Huh?
Nice plex and Angle slam...
Frog splash...1,2,....2.9999999.
Matt Morgan is evolving into a star. I agree Taz.
Great Victory roll. Morgan wasn't ready to be put over as in win but he got put over by a great performance from Angle.
Respect. Earned.
39.99 worth it. AJ and Sting is a bonus.

Great crowd support for Sting. Hope he comes back. Hell, he needs to go the WWE and get the proper swan song treatment he deserves.
Not sure why there's so much hate on Lashley. He's not some rookie that hasn't been to the rodeo before. He's got credentials and Joe loses nothing from being jobbed here. I hope TNA gains some new interest from the casual fans out there. Glad Red got the dub.
Posted By: Grrr (Guest) on October 18, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Odd. The report ends after Monster's Ball, but comments (not to mention clock) indicate the PPV is over. No Full Report link from the wrestling index page either.
Looks like it was a good show. I'm considering the replay, probably would get it if the last two matches sound good. So I decided to go to a different IP address, if you take my meaning. Then I realized why I haven't been to that site in a couple of years. Steaming pile of crap. I guess I'll wait to read results tomorrow.
