-TO THE BACK with JB and Mick Foley. JB says that the MEM has been successful tonight, and Foley says it may be their night. They have never looked so dominant. Foley doesn't match up well with Angle, he admits that. He has no weaknesses. Foley says he has something going for him. He took him out at Slammiversary, and, after that match, he saw Angle not being able to move his left hand, due to the neck injuries. Foley is the guy that can exploit that. He knows hoe to cause pain, and he will exploit Angle's pain, and he will win the title. And Kurt, to beat him, you will have to beat him. Yeah, I am confused too.

Here we go......All TNA defenders, I give you the floor to tell us why every Main Event Mafia member holding a title is a good thing for the young wrestlers......
Posted By: JUSTINW (Guest) on July 19, 2009 at 11:09 PM
PU this show stunk. Tazz was so obvious, Victoria gets shafted, MEM with all the gold (boring), only good thing about Jenna vs. Sharmell was Jenna's entrance and pin, and Daniels gets squashed. You may bash me for going on a rant but everything I said is true. At least WWE has good shows like SmackDown
Posted By: Bill (Guest) on July 19, 2009 at 11:09 PM
So Sting taps for Joe and the announcers don't sell it? Instead they shill the shit out of Bobby Lashley in the next segment??
THAT is why TNA is in the toilet. Kurt Angle tried to get Jay Lethal over and they never ran with that, turned it into a damp squib. Seems they've done the same for Joe.
TNA : Two steps forward, Eleventy billion steps back!

Shame about the X-Divison title getting the bums rush.

Good booking, weak matches
Posted By: saiyahog84 (Guest) on July 19, 2009 at 11:24 PM
I watched this on a live stream and it absolutely sucked balls. I didn't pay for it and I still feel ripped off.
TNA had so much potential 2 or 3 years ago but they have pissed it all away. Bad signings, bad booking, no direction... it's awful. Absolutely awful. Fuck Russo, fuck Jarrett, fuck Dixie Carter, fuck TNA. Yeah I said it, and I used to LOVE this promotion. The days of the Joe/AJ/Daniels classics, the Joe undefeated streak, the PhenomenAngels, AMW vs XXX... they seem a LONG time ago now.

Hope you enjoy your stay in TNA, Victoria because you're still in the same position you were in while in the WWE.

Well I'm no TNA defender but I will shed some light on this crapfest of the PPV. Yes MEM holding all belts was garbage BUT look it at this way Harlem Steiners won but at least made Beer Money look strong. Beer Money has DOMINATED every team if they had won where would they gone 4rm Team 3D vs BMI 3, MCMG again maybe Lethal Consequences? With this loss they can now be in the title change and "perhaps" be involve with the Bigboys. Nash added prestige to the Legends belt yes prestige whether u like it or not that is a real belt and it has more prestige now yes the midcard belt. Jenna vs Shemall.....nothing it sucked. 3D vs Brits okay, Stevie vs Abyss well I was just happy 2 see a bit of the old Abyss back. If u we're excited to see Taz and felt bad then duh c'mon what did u expect Hasbissions? daniels had an injury and it was win win Morgan looked good and so did Daniels. This PPv was crap and they lost momentum but they might get it back on Hard justice. So what I'm saying is it sucked 4 now but we'll see where they'll go with this. P.s Mick isn't young so Angle winning was good.

I'm the ultimate TNA lover and here is why its a good thing the MEM scored a clean sweep: We all know they're either leaving or retiring in the fall right? Well, give them one last hurrah to say thank you for your years of service then at No Surrender BOOM! Front Line with a clean sweep then on Impact they implode setting up intriguing matches for Bound for Glory. You just have to be patient. You can't have people you want to win always come out on top. That would be boring. At least this way we get the BIG pay off.
Posted By: Darren Runne (Guest) on July 19, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Those ratings are very generous. I thought this was one of the worst PPVs of all time. The matches were terrible and the crowd was dead.
The "big reveal" was piss poor because of how awful the Joe/Sting match was...no way was Taz getting a reaction when the fans just wanted it over.

There is no defense for the current TNA product. Unless their plan is to be as poorly booked an alternative to (A currently VERY weak and easily dethronable) WWE as is possible, I don't understand ANY decision they made with this ppv. Joe, Styles and Daniels are the most talented jobbers I've ever seen (Joe won, but that's because of his supernatural link to Taz - no joke!), and everyone who hasn't either wrestled Hulk Hogan or been a WWE/WCW world champion should probably accept the fact that the only chance they have to shine is OUTSIDE the "asylum".
What will be the excuse when Lashley, Ken Anderson, and possibly Umaga slide into TNA and right past Joe, Daniels, Styles, Lethal, The MCMG's and others on their way to main events and title reigns? I guess you don't really need one when you really don't have a sense of direction or a purpose for decisions made in the first place.

Well the last two matches were pretty good and had the right finish(though Sting f'ed up the finish)he still did tap. Foley Vs Angle was better than expected considering Angle was pretty banged up. Imo this was the best Foley looked since getting back in the ring earlier this year. Outside of that this was a poorly booked ppv with only a couple of good match. A.J jobbing clean to Nash TWICE in a week really burns me up. A.J has busted his butt from this company from day one. He is one of the best in ring workers in the world and as over as anyone in the company yet he jobs to Grandpa Nash. Nash's promo burying Styles and Beer Money was so counter productive and wrong that HHH and HBK were green with envy. Beer Money is the hottest act in the company and they drop the title to two geritatrics a month after getting the belts back. At least they had Steiner and Booker beat and were booked strongly unlike Styles. The Jenna Morasca Vs Sharmell match was an abortion. It was the worst ppv match since Stevie Vs Tomko on a WWE ppv 4 or 5 years ago. Thank God that match was on the ppv over an X division match that if given time could be a 3 or 4 star match. Stevie Vs Abyss' feud ended with a whimper. Love and Tara really haven't clicked yet and I wasn't crazy about the finish either. After three very good ppv's in a row TNA put on a bit of a stinker tonight.
Posted By: graves9 (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Tna already did the all M.E.M Members win their match in November and the ppv was far superior. I thought Daniels looked good in his match with Morgan and made Morgan look like a star. Good pyschology too with Daniels leg injury ended up setting up the finish.

The MEM taking all the title should have happen when the group first formed and they should have held them until Bound for Glory by cheating.
What makes the Legend's title a Legends title anybody can go for it. It was better as a gimmick title that Booker never had to defend so he could always claim to be a champion and now a double champion. TNA is just setting itself up for a talent sweep like WCW suffered. And WWE always takes the young talent, and leave the old broken down talent. Quite simply TNA needs a new star, and I have to say i think it's Matt Morgan. Here's an idea. On Impact the MEM promise an open spot in the MEM, have Matt Morgan help Kurt retain his title at the following ppv. On Impact have the MEM celebrating in the ring with Matt Morgan getting ready to join the MEM, then Jarret comes out smashes Morgan over the head with the guitar, revealing he's the new member of the mafia. A bloody beat down follows and a promo about how Morgan is not a former world champion and never will be. Now Morgan is a face. Keep him off television for 2 weeks. He comes back and feuds with Jarret and Angle , while they hide behind Nash, Steiner, Booker T, Samoa Joe. He can take out Nash, Steiner, and Booker T in Impact Mian Events. Then he defeats Samoa Joe at Hard Justice, then Jarret at No Surrender, leading to Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan for the TNA World Championship at Bound 4 Glory. With Morgan getting a clean win. It's not the best, but hey I tried.
Posted By: BischoffRulz (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 01:04 AM
So, it's obviously sounding like a broken record by now, but is everyone FINALLY willing to admit the MEM will NEVER put anyone over? Joe goes over Sting but he had to join the MEM to do it. No good will come of this. So frustrating.

The wrestling wasn't that good on this PPV and the Sharmell/Morasca match was probably the worst match in pro wrestling history. TNA put that match on PPV instead of having an X-Division match with Homicide/Suicide rematch? TNA needs to rethink their product and storylines.

Terrible PPV... nothing redeeming about it all. Taz debut flopped big time.
Posted By: Andrew Barbarash (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 02:06 AM
In 7 out of the 9 matches, someone either in or directly associated with the MEM went over.
In 6 out of 9 matches, the heel went over, if we're counting Jenna as a babyface.
The PPV was devoid of an X Division title match, which would have at least provided for some mindless exciting high spots.
Taz (and most likely Lashley) are coming in as heels associated with the MEM to add even further to the Wwejects.
If this PPV was instead a series of Impact episodes, it wouldn't have been that bad. However, at least a good percentage of the people who watched this paid for it, got questionably tv-quality matches and only one storyline payoff (Abyss).
This is why TNA can't grow as a company. Yes, you have to plan for the future, but you also have to make well sure that the here-and-now is compelling enough to continue watching, and in Victory Road's case, TNA failed miserably.

OK this doesn't sound good - especially Sting tapping to Joe NOT being made a huge moment - but...
With the MEM so definately on top, surely this is where the fightback really starts. Surely this is AJ Styles six month push to the title, Beer Money heading back to their belts, and the likes of Nash & Steiner being taken out FOREVER along the way?
That's the plan, right?
Oh I forget - Lashley beats Kurt for the title on Impact! with no build...I'll save my enthusiasm for SD!
TNA has so much potential, and refuses to use it, it's actually so very sad.

Posted By: Odin (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 03:21 AM
This PPV sounds like it SUCKED...
So either Homicide is purposefully the only champ outside of the MEM and they push it or at least reference it (hell WWE had ORLANDO JORDAN hint at being the only champ on SD! once)
OR
They dub the X division title as meaningless and therefore no one in the MEM should lower themselves to capture it.
Geee, I wonder which one is TNA management thinking..
Posted By: STAYMATIC (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 03:27 AM
Jesus,
Are you people ok? Seriously, I've never seen such anger and hatred over something that doesn't fucking matter! Wrestling, be it TNA or WWE, is for entertainment purposes! Every company has nights were they hit, and nights that are a miss. Personally I consider tonight a miss. Most of you didn't enjoy it that much either, fine.
But come on...does a wrestling company's show that most of you claim to hate or not watch anyway, really matter that much? If a pay per view is enough to illicit the responses that SOME, I repeat SOME, of you more fanatical people have given...end it now! Please...stop watching all together, stop following it, texting about it or chatting about it...youll be happier.
I swear, after reading this page I understand why certain wrestlers hate the IWC. Get over it people! Get over yourselfs...you don't matter! Jarrett, Russo and anyone else at TNA isn't gonna lose sleep over what joe schmoe had to say about the ppv. But it sounds like some of you are ready to have a nervous breakdown.
Or better yet...if this event mattered THAT much to you, and effects your happiness so much, do the world a favor and KILL YOUR FUCKING SELF YOU PATHETIC JOKER!!!
Look, now my comment looks like yours! I just wanted to briefly join the crowd and over react...ya know, give it a try.
Posted By: Pat (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 04:04 AM
Was there ANY reason to have Tara lose the match here tonight, other than to have her get her rematch on Impact prior to Hard Justice? It just cheapens the Knockouts Title (the only title really worth a damn in TNA right now) to have her win the title on Impact, then lose it TWO WEEKS LATER on PPV, JUST to set up a rematch for the title on Impact. They could have had her win the title tonight, THEN set up the rematch at Hard Justice.
And don't forget about the Main Event Mafia. For the love of Hulk Hogan, they're turning into the nWo: overstaying their welcome while burying the up-and-coming talent. Seriously, what does the MEM having all but the X-Division and Knockouts titles do for the company other than keep the MEM on top? It doesn't make me any more interested in seeing what happens on Impact OR at Hard Justice. I mean, it's not like the Frontline is going to do anything to stop them. (Remember the Frontline? Yeah, neither does TNA, apparently.) And considering it's been almost a year since the group came together, you'd think that they would be setting up the group's ultimate demise instead of, y'know, giving them more power in TNA than they've had in months.
And if Sting is leaving the MEM and turning face, then you KNOW what that means: he's going to get his annual Bound For Glory Title handed to him on a silver platter. And that does nothing for the roster outside of the MEM and Sting.
THIS is the main problem with TNA: they've got an amazing amount of talent on their roster, but they're utilizing it in all the wrong ways.
What happened to the X-Division? That division used to main-event PPVs; now it's lucky if a title defense even happens on PPV (and don't even get me started on that Feast or Fired bullshit).
What happened to Jim Cornette and Traci Brooks? They used to be the only authority figures in the company, but now you've got, like, five different authority figures making decisions.
What about the Frontline, for that matter? They used to be a united front against the MEM, and now you're hardpressed to actually hear the name "Frontline" mentioned on TNA programming. Joe turning on the Frontline would have been an awesome swerve at Slammiversary, setting up the losses for the Frontline tonight, but since the Frontline isn't even a real group any more, the swerve and this whole show fell flat.
TNA's problems are just getting worse. If they don't fix them, they're going to go under worse than WCW.
I want TNA to succeed. But the only way for them to succeed is for them to recognize their problems, and if tonight is any indication, they're just not ever going to be able to do that.

lmfao at how bad this ppv was.
The "let's establish mem as a dominant force so it looks better when the faces win" angle could only come from Russo or Nash taking the piss.
Nearly everyone wants Steiner,Nash and Booker to be beaten, knows that Sting will retire and that Foley is past it.
The storyline with the "epic" faces winning finally in the future is irrelevant here.
No-one who spends cash gives a fuck.
The people who spend cash hate Russo booking and just want the old guys to job-out.It doesn't make it more dramatic.It just pisses us off at how crap wrestlers trade off of past names.
Who wants to bet that they don't put the new guys over and we hear the same old bullshit about how the old guys are looking to establish the new faces etc.
As Tna was doing the same ppv figures 18 months ago with AJ, Abyss and Joe that "establishing" is bullshit.
20-30k people buy the ppv's. There are no casual fans who spend money you fucktards who take that angle.
Whether it gets a 1.1 or 1.3 on tv is irrelevant largely if you piss off the 20-30k who buy ppv, the 1-2k who go to house shows, the merch buyers and can't improve those numbers.
I'll watch impact for free and go to the impact zone for free, but I sure as hell won't spend cash on this shit.
Posted By: same old shit (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 04:58 AM
The only major trainwreck was the Jenna/Sharmell crap. UGH, never again!
Everything else was at least watchable. Best matches were the two tag matches. But nothing outstanding at all. A very, very average PPV. The first 4 matches did their job nicely, but the Mafia matches should have delivered much more than just 'decent' matches since the whole idea of them taking the gold home was a big part of Victory Road. Made me pretty indifferent by the end of the show. And what an underwhelming debut for Taz.
They could have put an X-Division match or even a last minute Sarita/Alissa Flash re-match on instead of the Jenna/Sharmell travesty, because either of those matches would have given the fans something unique.
The fact the whole Tara/Beautiful People/Slick Johnson angle which came out of Victory Road was more interesting than the MEM stuff really says something.

To everyone who says this is a set up for the frontline to come back strong I ask you this. Who is currently in the frontline and why has there been no mention of them as a cohesive group for months? All the of people that were the frontline have been scattered and made to look weak. This may be a set up for the titles to swing back to some younger talent but there is no frontline, it's dead and gone.

I agree that the PPV sucked but I had no problem with the heel group getting the belts if it leads to the frontline or whatever getting them back. This frees up AJ to go for the world title and frees him from that absurd title anyways (does anyone really care about the legends title?). The tag titles I was really hoping weren't going to change hands but once Kurt gave that speech I knew it was over. Really dissapointing coming off of Slamiversary which was a great ppv. TNA really just has no idea how to hang on to momentum. This could have been a much better card then it was and they just threw it away I mean what happened to Eric Young and his feud with Jarrett or the X division? You bring back Homicide and then not use him? Man its frustarting and considering WWE isn't that great right now either its just been a weak time period.

Do you idiots still not see what is going on. MEM is supposed to be continuing to get heat until Bound for Glory when the Frontline eventually goes over. C'mon "smarks" use your "wrestling knowledge"....I thought you all knew everything!

Man, just when you think WWE sucks TNA comes back to remind you they are the worst. BTW, that wasn't Taz, that was the man that ate Taz.

How many times can the MEM steamroll over the Frontline guys before the frontline lose all credibility? It's happened so often for so long that people are losing interest.
How many times can Nash put down the Frontline and get away with it? He is charismatic on the mic and has a real cult following. If he keeps dismissing the likes of AJ Styles, well, perception becomes reality.
I get what they're going for, and WCW did it 8 years ago, and THEY screwed it up too.

Sharmel has a better bodie then jenna. nice curves and a actually has a ass and nice tits
Posted By: HARTFAN (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 12:51 PM
So is TNA trying to make Matt Morgan like the reverse-DDP babyface?
He should not join the MEM, but will getting snubbed make him a sympathetic babyface and anti-MEM crusader?
Posted By: JTX (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 12:52 PM
It's about time Booker, Steiner, and Nash had some success. Beating these guys have done nothing for anyone but down played any rub anyone could get...it's about time they've done this right.

This was awful just awful, did Jarrett and the rest get high before they decided on the finishes for these matches? You've got to be on SOMETHING to book this badly. I watched it at a pub where I paid money but I got food and a drink as well so I wasn't too pissed off. If I paid for this Pay Per View I would be very pissed.
Daniels and Morgan was decent and the finish actually worked well within the match but other than that it stunk like a huge pile. No ammount of polish can get this turd to shine. I was hoping if TNA were to give all the belts that the finishes would be good but they weren't.

So TNA put on a shitty show. Big deal. It happens. WWE usually has one or two a year. The weird thing is that the booking made sense here and the matches sucked, which is usually the opposite of what happens at a TNA PPV.
Posted By: Guest#8047 (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 02:21 PM
Here we go......All TNA defenders, I give you the floor to tell us why every Main Event Mafia member holding a title is a good thing for the young wrestlers......
...................................................................... ..........
wow you must be a new fan.....its not really good for the young wrestlers....but you act like tna is the only company to do this.....what about wcw....im sure nwo held everything.....and mabey you remember wwe evolution.....they all won the titles.....its just something wrestling companies do to elevate there main group....it always has happened and always will happen....so dont hate on tna for it.....why dont you hate on the companies that did it first....thus giving tna the idea to do it.....
Posted By: Guest#2464 (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 02:37 PM
Ok, hardly anyone on this site will actually have watched the show and those that did probably didn't pay for it.
So what's the problem?
If you shelled out money for it, feel free to bitch, if you just read a report or watched an illegal stream, fuck off and get a grip.
This site is becoming more about the whinging than the fucking wrestling.
WWE is just as poorly written, booked and as boring / fucktarded as TNA, if nor moreso, because they are supposed to be leading by example, so deserve more of a crucifixion.
The people running these companies have a plan to make money and the leeches who contribute nothing do not figure in their plans.
Either way, calm your skins down and live with the fact you're probably too old to care about wrestling now, switch off your TV set and do something less boring instead.

Victory Road is nothing more than a set-up PPV. You expected every member to hold the title so when you have your one of your biggest PPVs of the year in Bound For Glory, you have the young guys with there. This is just setting up on how the young guys will overcome the odds and take the titles back. Classic story telling. You have the hero reach his lowest point and then have him fight back through hell to Glory (yes pun intended). It shows that you should never give up and should keep marching forward. Its the epic story of the MEM vs. TNA.
But yes last nights PPV did suck, but it was meant to be a set-up PPV for the main one.
Posted By: Guest#8859 (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 03:59 PM
Sorry Guest#8859, I don't consider the MEM vs TNA storyline epic. I've been bored with it for a long time.

You can't be champion lose your titles win them back and be over anymore than you were before.

Not the best executed Pay Per View but it sure did get me excited to see Impact. They set up some great storylines.

I wasted 3 hours of my life watch this ppv jenna vs sharmell parheps the worst match ever
Posted By: Sean (Guest) on July 20, 2009 at 05:59 PM
I think we all get the concept of the story that TNA is telling. They're just not telling it very well.
Posted By: Guest#4535 (Guest) on July 21, 2009 at 01:14 AM
the first few matches were good, but EVERYTHING that involved the Mem sucked donkey balls (pretty hard too). Sting fuckin up the muscle buster, Book and Steiner boring me to tears, Aj having to wrestle himself and Sharmell/Jenna... i'm not even going there. main event was nothing too.
fuck this shit, bring on Sarita, Alissa, Kong, Love and Tara on every ppv for the title.
Posted By: tully (Guest) on July 21, 2009 at 05:52 AM
it wasnt that bad, Ive seen some wwe pay per views that were much, much worse. Like the great american bash headlined by untertaker vs the dudleys...

"it wasnt that bad, Ive seen some wwe pay per views that were much, much worse. Like the great american bash headlined by untertaker vs the dudleys..."
Leave it to a TNA fanboy to compare this piss poor PPV to a WWE PPV from FIVE YEARS AGO! Guess what there have been WCW and WWF PPVs that were as bad as this shows as well, it's irrelevant! This isn't a comparison, this show just flat-out sucked.
And for everybody saying how the Frontline (which doesn't even exist anymore) is going to win the titles back at BFG, here's something to think about. What would it mean for them to win back the belts when all their credibility is shot because they've been made to look like scrubs for the better part of a year?
It's the same thing with Joe's road to the title all over again, by the time he wins the belt, nobody cares.
The only people made to look as strong as the Mafia have been guys like Foley, Sting, and for a month, Rhino and Team 3D. All of the actual homegrown and younger talent has basically become TNA's version of the Alliance.

Excuse how have they been look like scrubs? I swear these constant bitching kids just come here to bitch and moan. Before the MEM took the gold at the "FILLER" PPV all the young guys we're holding the belt. Please how often do u even see any of the MEM guys in the main events? Did MEM win at LOCKDOWN no, only Kurt and Joe we're involved at Slammiversary even sacrifice the young guys had a win against the MEM. Leave it up to some whiny kid that thinks he knows what he's talking about. Idiots like you ruin wrestling for everyone because you don't know anything about... you know what forget it because you're still gonna bitch anyways

Iam a TNA wrestling fan but Victory Road was a terrible pay-per-view. The Tara vs Angelina Love championship match was decent. The ending and the follow up with Referee Slick Johnson and Madison Rayne wasn't. Now any woman who loses a match in TNA can say, "Slick Johnson slept with my opponent". The Christopher Daniels vs Matt Morgan match was good. After all the hype building to the Abyss vs Dr. Stevie match, the actual match was a real let down. The Team 3D vs the British Invasion wasn't any better. Why can't Bashir and Kiyoshi stick to the X division where they belong? As I stated once before the ppv, all the Sharmell vs Jenna match did was give fans a convienent time for a bathroom and snack break. Instead of an X division match at Victory Road we get this. Why couldnt't TNA have let Homicide wait to cash in his Feast or Fired case at the ppv? The A.J. Styles vs Kevin Nash match was decent, but why was Nash allowed to win? Back in the day, I was a Nash fan. Nash isn't what he used to be. The Beer Money Inc. vs Steiner and Booker T match could have been decent if not for the ending. The Sting vs Samoa Joe match was decent. How does TNA no sell Sting tapping out to Joe? As for the crowd not really reacting to Taz's appearance, how long has it been since he did anything besides announce in a major promotion? As for Bobby Lashley joining the company who cares? The main event match of Kurt Angle vs Mick Foley was good. Given the fact that Foley has looked rusty since his return to the ring, it was better than it could have been. But why was Foley ever allowed to hold the belt anyway? If this was a weekly episode of Impact decent might cut it, at a pay-per-view people expect value for their money; especially in this economy!!!

Posted By: The Coach (Guest) on July 23, 2009 at 08:26 AM
Surely the X-Division title can be snapped up by the MEM too. Samoa Joe is more than capable of holding it, plus it truly means every member has a title. Think about it, TNA. Oh wait, you don't.
Posted By: Skreb Masters (Guest) on July 24, 2009 at 07:11 PM
hey, if TNA keeps going it will end up like WCW, so what stars should WWE get, here are the ones i would choose:
AJ Styles, Chris Daniels, Samoa Joe, Creed, Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Booker, Angle,(WON'T HAPPEN, BUT STILL)Lashley, Beer Money, LAX and Doug Williams, those are 15 awesome wrestlers!
Posted By: ljdsmalls (Guest) on July 25, 2009 at 12:36 PM
