MAIN EVENT FOR THE TNA WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

THREE WAYS TO GLORY MATCH:
Samoa Joe (c) vs. Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage

I thought this was a very good match. Although moments where all three men were in the ring together were rare, it was a welcome change to the Booker T/Joe matches that have of late been dominating the main events at PPV's. Very well put together, and the right finish. Although zero interference would've been nice, but meh, it's TNA.

MMA MATCH
AJ Styles vs. Frank Trigg

This was very well put together, and very well done. I mean no disrespect to the lovely LadyHotRod when I say, the crowd were hugely disrespectful for the effort put in by the performers in this match, which (as an MMA fan myself) looked fantastic. The finish was indeed bullshit though. Trigg should've won by cheating.

TNA KNOCKOUT'S CHAMPIONSHIP:
Taylor Wilde (c) vs. Angelina Love

I continue to be impressed by Taylor Wilde, and this match was very good indeed. Not as good as her matches with Kong (or as the potential Gail Kim fued would've been) but still impressive. The run-in by "Cute Kip" (really?) made no sense, as Angelina would've been disqualifiedcos the ref was looking right at him, but it was the right finish in the end and otherwise a well put together match.

TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:
Beer Money (c) vs. LAX

Better than I expected it to be (and definitely BM's best to date) I personally would've prefered an LAX win, but I understand why that didn't happen, so I'm not overly bothered by it.

TNA X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP:
Petey Williams (c) vs. Consequences Creed vs. Shiek Abdul Bashir

This was a very, very good match but the finish was utter bullshit and I disagree with putting the title on Bashir right now for so many different reasons. Petey should've walked out of No Surrender still the champ, and dropped the belt to either of his opponents here at a later date. Other than that though, it was highly enjoyable.

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
Awesome Kong vs. ODB

Other than some impressive spots (for the wrongs reasons; that table was awful) this was a clusterfuck. Kong is fantastic and I have nothing bad to say about her, but I never realised what a ring general Gail Kim was until I saw ODB throw all ring psychology out of the window and just make a complete mess of this match. Very, very, veeeeeeerrrrry disappointing.

LADDER MATCH:
Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal

This was a brilliant match and went a long way to making up for the debacle that was the Ball & Chain Match last month. Dutt and Lethal were on top form and took some incredible bumps to put over the importance of SoCal Val to each of them. Although the result was right, the turn by Val was un-needed, and completely let's wind out of this fued, that has real potential when you strip away the moronic writing, and ridiculous gimmick matches (except this one of course).

Abyss & Matt Morgan vs. Team 3D

Forgettable would decribe this best. And the retarded argument at the end of the match between Abyss and Morgan was something else on this card that should've been left out.

CHALLENGE MATCH:
The Rock N' Rave Infection (Lance Rock, Jimmy Rave and Christy Hemme) vs. The Prince Justice Brotherhood (Curry Man, Shark Boy & Super Eric)

Comedy brilliance. I was expecting Curry Man to lie down for Christy Hemme, in order to get her on top of him but I'll accept his pinning her instead. Laughed so hard when he put himself back in a headlock I nearly wee'ed myself.

All in all, a good PPV. Not brilliant, but not as over-booked as Victory Road or Hard Justice, which can only be a good thing.

I got enough right for me not to totally feel like a FAIL.
