TNA Victory Road 2010 Review
I was fortunate enough to see the show, and therefore, here is my review of the latest TNA ppv offering.
The show opened up with a promo for Abyss. They did it just like they did the old Mankind promo's, and I'm tired of it already. Abyss sucks, face it folks, Abyss is such a stale character that hasn't been relevant for a long time.
Doug Williams defeated Brian Kendrick
The story here is that Williams is afraid of heights, which meant that Kendrick had the upper hand here. The match was even handed, going back and forth throughout the match up. Williams was working a more strong style, while Kendrick was throwing all his high spots at the champion, making for a nice flow. The match should've gotten better with near falls or something, but overall, this match started hot and fizzled out over time. The ending featured a bad landing from the “x” ropes Williams managed to choke out Kendrick, who looked dead after the fall. A boring ending to an otherwise mediocre match.
Post match, Kendrick looked legit knocked out, and it could've been from the fall off the top of the “x” sign ropes.
Brother Ray defeated Jesse Neal and Brother Devon in a triple threat match
This match was just terrible to watch. I was so bored with it, and even though it had a few hits, the majority just wasn't that good. I haven't been a fan of Team 3D since they were battling the Eliminators in ECW. Devon didn't show up after they introduced him, and it turned out that Devon was locked in his dressing room with and he couldn't get out. This match was just a few steps above an Impact match. The most exciting part of the match was seeing the ECW originals walking in the crowd, that's about it. Devon eventually ran down to the ring, and this match could've started to get good, but guess what? It didn't. Neal accidentally speared Devon and Brother Ray won via pinfall.
This is the worst feud going right now. I'm sick of it, that's for sure.
Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne via disqualification **Love wins the title
First and foremost, Madison was wearing a flesh tone ring outfit, giving the perception that she was naked. I'm not sure if that was the intention of TNA, but it came across very sexy. Just sayin. The match was a systematic movement of botches, attempts at wrestling, and just terrible points of interest. I was really bored with this match, even though you could see everything that Madison Rayne has, including a shot of her nether-regions.
Out of the blue a woman riding a Motorcycle showed up in full black gear and a helmet on. Angelina Love was thrown outside and the masked woman attacked her, and then the Ref was beat up, causing the match to end in a disqualification.
Post match the Motorcycle riding woman took Madison Rayne with her to the backstage area. Angelina Love won, and I didn't care, and I'm sure no one else did either.
Kazarian & Aj Styles defeated Rob Terry & Samoa Joe
This hot shot tag team didn't make any sense to me. That's right, Rob Terry was feuding with Orlando Jordan and Samoa Joe is fresh off losing to RVD, so why are they tagging together out of the blue? I don't know, and guess what? WHO CARES?!?! Ugh, I'm so sick of TNA's booking, it just doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't interest me at all. Plus, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE???
The match was mostly Joe & Terry and the two were in full control of this match up, while Styles and Kaz tried their best to fight the monster duo. Kaz and AJ were bumping all over the ring, and the dual offense of Terry & Joe definitely made the match fun to watch. I thought I was going to hate the match, but the pace was fast, the moves were definitely solid, and it just kept getting better over time, with Styles and Kaz just getting PWNED at all points. Samoa Joe caught Styles flying into the corner and slammed him in a move that should've broken the ring, it was sick. Terry is jacked as ever, and was throwing around Kaz and Styles like rag dolls, making for a nice throwback to the 80's Steroids era of wrestling. Desmond Wolfe ran down to interfere in the match, and helped turn the match around.
Desmond Wolfe was easily taken care of and the Flair wannabes took turns hitting their finishers to get Rob Terry out, and that was that. This match was actually very entertaining, and I liked it. They won the match with a nice flurry of finishers, and a little help from Desmond Wolfe.
Post match, Desmond Wolfe got a Muscle Buster for his troubles.
Hernandez defeated Matt Morgan in a steel cage match
This match was a classic steel cage match, and it featured blood! This match wasn't pg, and it shouldn't be. The two men fought each other quite well and each man took major bumps into the cage, and through power moves at various stages of the match up. Hernandez got the biggest bump as he flew off the top of the cage, only to miss Morgan. Morgan got a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Hernandez to the ring ropes, but Super Mex broke the cuffs and spread the cage door hard and busted through to win the match! Not a terrible match, and definitely a throwback to the old style cage matches from WWE, I liked it.
Christy Hemme has a HUGE forehead, but I'd still hook up, if I had a chance.
Jay Lethal defeated Ric Flair
Jay Lethal did a lot of standard 80's and early 90's style wrestling in this match. Taking pages from many other matches that Flair has been a part of, Lethal kept hitting standard wrestling moves instead of flying through the year often. Flair wasn't exactly putting on a show tonight, and he was winded early. Lethal eventually started to work Flair's leg and eventually strapped on the Figure Four leg lock and Flair quit. That was that. This match was barely passable, and Lethal was really excited, about beating up a 50 year old man.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money
This match was given plenty of time, and the guys put on a show as they always do. I don't remember being too intrigued, but I give the two teams a lot of credit. Both teams had points where this thing was over, but I felt like I've seen this match too many times. I'm actually getting tired of seeing the Machine Guns fight Beer Money, and that's why I didn't care too much about this match. Yes, there were double team moves, high spots, nearfalls, and some good quality tag team wrestling, but I just didn't find myself caring too much. The Eye of the Storm was a nice move towards the end.
There was a ref bump, out ran Earl Hebner to equalize the match up. The Machine Guns kept getting close. The match ended in an odd fashion. One member Beer Money pinned One member of The Machine Guns, While one member of the Machine Guns pinned one member of Beer Money, and both Brian Hebner and Earl Hebner counted 3 which meant that both teams won?!?
The match was restarted, since there were no definitive winners. After the match was restarted, the Motor City Machine Guns hit a tandem move and finally got the pinfall win to capture the TNA Tag Team Championship Belts.
Kurt Angle defeated The Pope D'Angelo Dinero
This wasn't a four star epic, but it had enough gusto to make a very interesting match from two good overall competitors. The match was back and forth with neither man really getting too much of an advantage in the match up. You got your traditional Angle moments with suplexes, rough tackles and mat wrestling. Dinero kept fighting and hit his move set, but the end came with Dinero getting trapped in the Ankle Lock several times, and eventually giving up. This match was telegraphed for Angle to win, and anyone that thought he would lose, is dumb. Angle will not lose a match for a long time, that's for sure.
Rob Van Dam defeated Abyss,Jeff Hardy, and Mr. Anderson
This match was probably the safest main event I've seen in a long time. The match didn't have a lot of high spots, and while there were a few cool moments, this match just looked like it was phoned in. I didn't think this match was all that great, and actually ended with such a stupid ending, that even the crowd wasn't that insane. It was a quiet crowd in a lackluster finish, that saw all men on top of each other and Rob Van Dam with the pinfall win. The dead crowd showcased how crappy this match was. Seriously, there is nothing really worth mentioning throughout the match, and I felt cheated as a wrestling fan.
Post match Abyss grabbed his Nail Board and was ready to attack RVD, he didn't hit him, but wanted to. Abyss was left in the ring with the board and that was that. The show ended with Abyss in ring, and that was that. I hated this crap. One of the worst ppv's of the year, and I am not surprised that I hated it. TNA hasn't done anything worth while in a few months and dare I say years? Man, TNA sucks.
