PPV Pre-Show

They are doing the pre-taped PPV pre-show again. Borash, West and Tenay all run down the card as they show some good video packages for the matches. I think that this might be a good idea for now, because at times they have 2 pre-matches, and 8-9 PPV matches and it does burn out the crowd. Also, some times the pre-show matches can be really good, and get the crowd to going early so that they are burnt out at the end.

The video package that they showed for JJ and Steiner vs. Sting and Joe was just awesome. It put Joe over HUGE and even closed with, “And one thing is for certain…Joe’s gonna kill you.”

Next was another well-done package for Abyss vs. Cage, they used a lot of stills and short clips of the last match with the tack bumps and blood. Very powerful.

The tag title match package was also really good as it showcased AMW’s dominance and AJ and Daniels previous battles and successes.

The video package for 2D vs. The James Gang was actually really good, as they took the promo from Thursday and made a video package that looked like the match had several weeks of build to it.

They replay the Kevin Nash interview to hype his appearance.

They re-hype the main matches again (AMW vs. AJ and Daniels, Sting and Joe vs. JJ and Steiner and Cage vs. Abyss) as we have about 5-minutes till the PPV.

They also show a much longer Abyss vs. Cage video, like the other with a horror movie feel and music to it. Very well done. I love the video packages that TNA and WWE do, they rarely ever (either company) have a bad one.

TNA Sacrifice…Begins…NOW!

Good PPV opening video done by cool voice over guy. Not as creative as some of the others, more of a basic type but it was solid.

Tenay and West welcome us to Sacrifice!

Nash is here and POWERBOMBS PUMA! Big boot to Puma now. He grabs a mic and has something to say. Looks like someone pissed me off for me to come on Mother’s day. Is one of these guys Incognito?

I don’t know what your women tell you, but size does matter.
