I personally am glad JV reviewed this PPV. Although I have never seen a full episode/PPV/whatever you call it, I was very happy to read JV's review.

Its good to know what is going on in the other promotions. I will say this though, after reading JV's review I couldnt help but think "That is so WCW" Randy Savage?? Sure that would be just about the coolest thing if the WWE paraded him out to be a manager or something, but when TNA does it, it seems quite cheese.

Then like JV said, Roddy Piper and Snuka pull off an angle that was done 20 years ago IN ANOTHER PROMOTION !!! Not only does that REAK of desperation, but 95% of the people watching probably didnt have a friggin clue what the cocunut was all about. Unless they are 40 year old TNA fans. Not likely.


By having the shows main event feature Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Hardy and The Outsiders they might as well have held up signs that said "We can't get our own talent over so lets use Vince's rejects."


Good to know that out of the 4 people featured in the main event last night that two of them are accused drug and/or booze addicts and the other two are complete ego maniacs in their 40's.

Not a good way to run a promotion.

I didnt watch the show, but after reading the review, I do agree with you. Thats not the way to run a promotion. They should feature their own wrestlers and create their own identity. Its not wrong to steal WWE wrestlers, but to feature their over the hill bums it is bad. Kevin Nash? Scott Hall? Jeff Hardy in the main event? WTF!!! I dont mind Jeff Jarret at all. I think he is very good and he was the only one worth watching the last few months of WCW. But their main event is really lacking superstars. I hope they improve, because otherwise I dont think they will last.

I would like JV to put more of his old PPV reviews in the vault

The problem is that besides AJ Styles and maybe that Monty Brown guy, they dont have anybody that be taken seriously who wasnt in WWE at some point. Jeff Hardy was at least over with the fans before he left (remember the ladder match for the title vs. Taker?). I think they should be focusing more on AJ Styles than anyone else. He may be small, but he's really that good

The Strange One

I agree that the keys to their success will be when they stop trying to use "established names" and establish their own names. Paul Heyman didn't rely on marquee names to build ECW. Basically, he used ECW to make " big names" and didn't try to use "big names" to make his Company. TNA's X-Division has the same potential that ECW had in the 90's.

I'm sorry, Jeff Jarrett just doesn't cut it as a believable main event worker. His mat skills are average, his finisher stinks, his promos are boring, and hitting people with guitars is sooo "80's."

Styles, Williams, and Brown could be the future of TNA but are more likely the future failures of WWE. Let's face it, WWE doesn't even know what to do with the talent they have, much less with other talent. They'd probably bury AJ Styles the same way they've buried RVD. Perhaps they'd use Petey Williams as fodder for bigger wrestlers. Or they could bring in Monty Brown and feed him to Triple H, since that seems to be the "due" that all wrestlers from opposing companies must pay.

I agree that alone Jeff Jarrett cant carry a company, but to have in the "main-event" mix, hes without a doubt a plus.

Dr. Giganto

I agree. I feel like Jarrett is just a solid all-around performer. Not exceptional at any one thing, but good enough at every aspect of the business. Kinda like Booker T

What they should be doing is intergrating the former WCW/WWE guys WITH the TNA guys. They are acting like they are main event, but their own people dont deserve a shot.

Mixing these guys in with the TNA established guys is the way to go.

It is obvious you didn't watch the PPV and to be so critical of it from a review from SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion is weak. I watched it and thought it was very entertaining. Infact a lot more entertaining the WWE PPV's of late. And as for your comment about them being Vince's reject's, huh? I don't think Vince has any claim on anyone these days. Specially when you look at how many top guys in WWE right now were created by umm let's see, Eric Bishoff and Paul E. Why was it ok when WWE or WCW was doing it non stop 6 or 7 years ago.

Now, the show wasn't as hi-tech as WWE PPV and it was a lot like WCW in the begining but you can't expect them to all of a sudden be huge and compete with WWE. People are acting like they should or are trying to and it is very obvious they arn't. Look at what WCW did in the begining with bringing in WWE wrestlers. Look how far they went. TNA is just trying to build and name and do the same thing.

The AJ Styles and Petey Williams match alone was worth watching the PPV. These guys and others are going to take TNA far if they keep the focus on them.

Nash Hall and Macho were only involved at the very end and really didn't change anything about the PPV. The Piper Snuka thing was a bit lame but can't win em all lol.

Guh, the main event was very entertaining and it bugs me to see it being judged by someone who didn't even see it. Watch it and then review it lol. Seriously.

3 of the 4 guys in the main event were released by WWE.

Rejects.
