TNA PPV

[Izzy]

As with every TNA ppv I've seen - this was poor

they just can't seem to do them right, they come across as 3 hr impacts - and not even good editions

all told TNA isn't not the show it was a year ago - it's honestly fairly weak right now. I don't think it's a coincidence that the decline set in the same time Russo took over. Sure there are great moments but the matches are all WWE quality, TNA used to have amazing matches

time for a new creative team

[Hammy]

I feel like I've turned over 2 pages at once, I thought you loved Russo 

[Izzy]

I love Russo's little touches, but as main man he's letting me down!

TNA has been weak since Jarrett left

x division has vanished and Russo has turned all the matches into WWE matches, he should be turned into cat food for that!

[Hammy]

I've not seen all the PPV, The Lethal Lockdown sounded decent, and wasn't the AJ Styles title win handled well?  Or was it anti-climatic? (Like the Knockouts Tag Title match was that I saw...)

I also read Lashley won with a punch, now I know they are trying to get over his MMA Career (he mentions enough how thats his #1 priority), but a punch, as a finisher?  Did it look better than it sounded?

[Izzy]

Lashley did well - with that build a punch is credible, but i hope he gets a better finisher

[Izzy]

Okay, to be fair the lockdown and main event matches were good

a fatal 5 way? never seen before

women's tag title? again brand new

TNA does so many things right - but its many average matches  (these days) is bringing down great feuds, wrestlers and surprises

[Izzy]

Looking forward to this, Abyss v Foley might be a classic and Sting v Styles should be fun

TNA PPV's are shameful and always have been - i am hoping that they will finally address this (so naive....)

[Hammy]

I'm intrigued by the Joe vs. Lashley bout, I can't see either guy submitting, and despite reports of them going a little cold on Lashley's push, I'm guessing he will get the win here.  For people who sometimes just like to see some badass powers moves, this could in many ways be a dream match.  I'm guessing Joe won't tap and he'll pass out.

I'm hoping D'Angelo Dinero wins, "Pope is Pimpin'" chants are great!  I'm also sensing Suicide's days might be numbered, I'd prefer to see a return of Kaz anyway...

[Izzy]

Oh TNA....realising they had screwed the Joe character they 'rebooted' him...and just made it worse!

He should have carried on being the enemy of the MEM, he's now effectively vanished

A match against Lashley would be excellent though - they wont do anything to damage Lashley, but they wont damage Joe either....an intresting finish here for sure

This looks real interesting as I think TNA has put together a very interesting card.  I really hope they increase the graphics and the production values on this one though.  Add in something extra to make it feel like an event and not another impact episode.

Wish they'd give Hernandez a match with Nash and let him win the Legend's Title.

[Hammy]

On paper it looks pretty damn good, I just hope it lives up to its billing, they have a habit of having cards that on paper look great but end up failing to deliver.

The only match I'm not too keen on is the Legends Title match.  I have no interest in Eric Young and Kevin Nash's role in the company should be in a non-wrestling capacity.

[Gnrfan]

I like the look of this card. Lots of matches that have interest.

Hernandez will win the Legends title... almost for certain. And i'm pretty sure that AJ will keep his strap. But the other matches are harder to predict.

Angle vs Morgan will be interesting to see how TNA view Morgan. Will they give him the ultimate rub in TNA by beating their best and biggest star. If Angle beats Morgan we'll know nothing more and it will be business as usual. If Morgan wins then they have a bonafide new star on their hand who should be a World champion within 6 months and finally TNA will have created a star of their own making (hasn't happened for a while).

Joe vs Lashley will be interesting coz its really hard to pick a winner. the fact that the X-Title isn't on the line suggests that Lashley might get the nod but Joe is on a roll. It will be interesting to see how they book it.

Foley vs Abyss could be a classic of the **** variety.

Also the Tag match .... is that for both sets of belts or just one?

[Hammy]

Also the Tag match .... is that for both sets of belts or just one?

Both, sort of, I think.

Both are on the line, but the way I read it (cos we haven't got this weeks show over here yet) was you could grab the belts you wanted to win or something, I hope I misread that, it made a good match sound goofy.

[Izzy]

X division not on the line, epic fail
