Inverted atomic drop by Homicide followed by a neckbreaker for 2. Homicide takes time to bitch to the ref and Red connects with a wild haymaker.

CODE RED! 1...2...3!
Winner: Amazing Red via pinfall (Code Red) Rating: ***Not the high-energy X-Division opener that we're used to, but decent. Felt a little disjointed and Homicide seemed a step off his game, but it was still a good match.

Desmond Wolfe cuts a standard yet quality promo on Kurt Angle.
Match of the Night? Could be. Beer Money are out with Boozer Cruiser to a huge pop. The Guns appear to be wearing kevlar vests. Naturally. The Brits are oozing confidence and awesome tonight, it's great what TNA have done with Williams and Magnus.
Storm attacks the Brits on the bell, Magnus is left in the ring and eats a couple of clotheslines. Tag to Roode, Magnus flees and tags in Shelley.

In the ring the Brits hit the European uppercut Hart Attack! 1...2...3!
Winners: British Invasion via pinfall (Magnus on Roode, European Hart Attack) Rating: ***¼Nowhere near as good as it should have been. Beer Money and the Guns did their part and the Brits were fine, but it was short and filled with run-ins. Also, the Guns were taken out way before the finish and never seen again.

She tries it again but Tara counters with a DDT! Tara counters an Implant Buster attempt and tags Kong with some rights, then takes Kong to the cage!

Let's go Desmond! Let's go AJ or Joe! Can't really say I care about the rest of the card, but the only reason I'm getting back into TNA is Styles as champ and Wolfe.
For those of you TNA fans that get pissed off that I'm just hopping on the bandwagon and you are the real fans, shut the fuck up. TNA's product the last few years is the reason I went away, and their recent direction is why I'm back. That's the way the world works. I'm not loyal to them. They have to earn viewership.
Get over yourselves.
No I'm not a troll, but when the Wolfe/Angle match and the main event were announced, I remember someone making a comment about ALWAYS being a TNA fan. This is simply a proactive defense to my original comment.
Enjoy the show!

Kurt wins via DQ then Wolfe eats him..
Posted By: BigSexy (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 09:05 PM
I wonder if Shane McMahan is attending the Payper View? I would guess if he bought a ticket it's okay as long as he does not surprise anyone like he did when he took over the WCW.
If that happens in TNA, I will quit watching any wrestling..But I know Dixie would not let this happen because it's all about "competition".
But it would not be bad to see a McMahan there since rumer has it he has some sort of talks with the UFC, but it could be gossip. Could it be he is stepping within "Spike" tv as well as TNA.
But I am sure Dixie would allow a McMahan seat if he purchased a ticket. That's how good TNA as well as Dixie Carter manages the business..She knows business..

Lansdell is more than a WWE mark, he is a full-on pathetic little douchebag.

Black Lesnar JOBBED to Steiner? Seriously?
I love TNA but even I'm scratching my head at this one.

What did they even bring Lashley in for? He's been downplayed since the first time he walked out onstage.
Posted By: shone jones (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 09:54 PM
Agreed. It's stupid to bring someone in if they can't fully commit. That's a reason why you should downplay a wrestler... that's also a reason why you shouldn't bring them in at all.
Lashley is not that big of a name that he's worth a big time contract to only be around when he doesn't have a MMA commitment.

But I am sure Dixie would allow a McMahan seat if he purchased a ticket. That's how good TNA as well as Dixie Carter manages the business..She knows business..
Posted By: Billy Jack (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 09:09 PM
Is that why TNA didn't turn a profit for all those years? Dixie's no genius...without her dad's financial backing TNA would've folded years ago.
The one who REALLY knows business is JJ..he kept his crappy little company afloat long enough to trick a bigger company into buying in, despite the fact that it was built around a no-name midcarder that couldn't draw a dime during the biggest boom in the history of pro wereslting - himself.
So not only did he spend years getting the biggest paydays when HIS promotion was bleeding money, but now he can sell his shares and the company is actually worth something.
Genius.

Angle vs. Wolfe was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Posted By: ert (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Beautiful match between Nigel and Angle,
my favorite Angle match since his fued with Styles last year and his original series with Joe.
Posted By: random (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Wolfe totally nosold the six Germans and multiple ankle locks, I expected more. Then he submits two seconds into a triangle choke? Way to kill momentum
Posted By: Guest#5807 (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Hmmm....
Angle/desmond was pretty good. I expected something stupid in that one but they played it straight and they both looked OK.
How does Stiener beat Lashley? Seriously? Even if it is a pipe shot that is what you expect in a brawl. But if that was whatthey were going to do they should have gone all the way and just had Stiener kidnap Lashley's wife.
Kong losing sort of sucked and it looked like she tweaked something to boot. Not good if she did.
BI winning I expected but they didnt do MCMG any favors in that match.
6 man tag team was sort of boring. And they didn't really even advance the storyline all that much with it. A clean pin off a chair shot gore combo. But having the young guys lose doesn't serve any purpose IMO.
Main event is just starting now so no comment hard to follow their first match up and that wolf/angle match but we will see.
And where is Hogan? Is he ever going to show up for anything? He doesn't have to wrestle, he doesn't even have to book or make a match just show your face on the show and mumble a little bit. If he doesn't make an appearance tonight then him even joining the company doesn't make sense. Just should have gotten Bischoff and gotten a new show.

So let me just check the score here, Angle over Wolffe, 3D and Rhino over HERNANDEZ, MORGAN and Dinero, and Steiner over Lashley? so 0 for 3 of putting over the younger guys huh TNA?
Posted By: Guest#6246 (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Joe pins AJ after Tazz uses a cattle prod on AJ. A rematch is set for Impact but AJ gets arrested for sexually harassing The Beautiful People. So a returning Hulk Hogan comes in and faces off against Joe. And with one finger Hogan drops Joes and is the new TNA Champion. The MEM reunite with Hogan being the Higher Power. Then Stone Cold will drive down and Spray everyone with Beer.
Then the next week they say that Hogan wasn't the higher power after all and that the higher power would be announced. Stone Cold gets beaten up by the MEM and then the higher power comes out and lifts his hood,
"IT WAS ME AUSTIN!!! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!!!!"
Vince McMahon reveals himself as the higher power behind the MEM.
"here comes the money"
Shane shows up on the video screen at a UFC show. Vince looks pissed off. It really is Shane that bought the competition.
The Camera follows Shane to the back after the announcement and gets in a limo. The limo starts to drive off, but the doors lock and Shane tells the driver to stop because they were waiting for someone.
The limo stops and the drivers window rolls down and....
"WHERE TO SHANE?"
The Undertaker then laughs and drives off.
This causes Vince to get upset and worried about his son. So he quickly asks Austin for help and Austin just starts to kick peoples asses.
The Undertaker and Stone Cold face each other and the MEM attack Stone Cold, and Undertaker wins. Taker then states that the real higher power will be revealed.
Next thing we know Shane comes down to the ring and shakes hands with Taker. Vince is shown tied up backstage. The Higher Power comes walking down to the ring and then reveals himself....
"IT WAS ME AUSTIN!!!! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!"
Vince McMahon again swerved Austin.
Vince then decides that it is "best for the business" for the UFC to have less blood and go PG. So Vince starts having Clowns and Trashmen and GIANTS fight in the UFC but immediately stopping fights if there is a speck of blood.
Because that's what people want to see....

Yeah Wolfe tapped a little quick. But the story Wolfe was getting over walking away (and which I'm surprised Taz didn't key in on, but likely will Thursday) is that it was a competely new move that Kurt hasn't used before, so he was as much shocked as hurt. They make a big deal about how Wolfe has every move scouted, so Angle pulls something new out of the bag. That's good stuff.
First TNA ppv I've ever seen, and it's been pretty damn solid. Hope the main backs up the hype.
Posted By: Nick (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:28 PM
Sometimes age and experience overcomes youth and ability. Play up the new faces of TNA learning from the previous encounters with the established talent, and the hand-over should be flawless and believeable.

TNA has gone from a weekly ppv company with no hope to a company with a 2 hour primetime show with monthly ppvs and the ability to sign big names in large part because of JJ and Dixie and yeah it was only because of her daddys money. Right what bs.

Never saw their Unbreakable match, but this was the best match I've seen in TNA since I've been watching the past few years. Joe, AJ, Daniels = Gold

I been watching Wrestling for a long time. I seen pretty much every wwe/tna/wcw ppv for about 13 years. Those last two matches were absoloutley amazing. Wow, if your a tna hater, time to give them some cudos methinks. That was wrestling! 5*'s

So your wanting to find something to bitch about?
While I agree atleast the 6-man should have been a different finish it that match the heels had to cheat to win.
Lashley is a fromer WWE guy so really this result is a push older guy beats former wwe guy
And Nigel had an awesome showing surving the Angle slam and several ankle locks before finally being put down.
Posted By: random (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Sounds like a good show. Forget most of the undercard, I want to see this for the Angle/Wolfe and AJ/Daniels/Joe matches.
Unless Hogan walks out after the match, legdrops AJ and gets the title....then I'd be pissed!!

Actually match quality wise yes add in the emotion of Taker vs Michaels than it wins.
And if you were trying to type 5-stars you hit the 8 key instead of another star by accident.
Posted By: random (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 10:59 PM
The main event, dare I say it, is *YOUR* MOTY. AJ, Joe & Daniels can do no wrong when in the ring together. It was a flawless match that was just as great as the last time they main evented a PPV.
Great PPV, match wise, overall.
Posted By: Mr. Mountain (Guest) on November 15, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Daniels had the two sickest spots in that match too bad he won't ever be champ. They ended everything clean too. No drama set up afterwards no mystery guy, no Hogan.
That could maybe be the biggest swerve of all time. All the Hogan hype. Guy hasn't been seen in Florida let alone near the TNA arena, yet he is supposedly the second guy in the ranks? Kayfabe or not if the guy is really employed by them and his name really means that much then start using it. Other than the initial hype, that has basically been worth .2 rating on a single show. Since they didn't mention his name at all tonight (other than Nash in an off the cuff way) I expected some sort of drama to unfold, especially when the main event ended 17 minutes before the hour.
So I just don't get it. Sure it was a decent WRESTLING show, but you have to have some storytelling and drama mixed in there. The only thing that qualified in that was was Nash coming out and taking the belt. And that was cryptic at best.
Unless this was just a culmination and he is going to start booking and being creative from here on out and starting a whole bunch of new story lines. Which doesnt make sense. but neither does not seeing him or getting any valid updates on what can be expected.
