Another good show for WSX. As weird as it sounds, I'm getting used to Fabian being all hyper in his announcing. The tag match to open the show was pretty good. We got the third straight explosion/electrocution. There are plenty of things that you can do in a match to get that point across without fancy pyro. But still a good match. Jack Evans and El Hombre had a good match as well. It seems like they're trying to make Evans a star there. The TLC Main Event was a nice, short brawl. Something doesn't sit well with me on the "dissention" between Kaos and Aguilera. It just seems forced. But it was still good.
Bottom line, more wrestling and less goofy storylines can be good. Something WWE and TNA need to understand.

Tommy Dreamer buried? Check. Sandman buried? Check. CM Punk buried? Check. RVD buried? Check. Sabu buried? Check. Three promos featuring Vince McMahon? Check. Check. Check. By the time it was all over, I felt like the chump at the bottom of the cliff holding both ends of the rope.

Solid PPV. 7 out of 10.
The LAX vs. Team 3D Match was a good solid brawl. Hernandez diving over the top and getting hit with a chair was the highlight of the match.
Austin Starr vs. Senshi started off as a great match but had a weak ending. Backland coming out was funny but I hope they don't have a feud between Backland and Starr. Starr needs to go after the X-division belt.
I liked the Christian interview with Steiner and Tomko not getting alone. Steiner is always funny but I swear sometimes that he's not speaking a language that only he understands!
Hemme vs. Oil fat guy... Just awful, only plus was seeing how crazy Hot Christy is... But not worth seeing Fat guy in a tong... This made the show a 7 instead of 8.
Hoyt vs. Torborg was a better match than I though it was. And it will probably be shown on sport center so it did was a positive.
AJ Styles vs. Rhino was a okay match. Styles is a awesome heel and did a great job as always. I never liked Rhino and still don't so to me he needs brought this match down a bit.
My friends and I all jumped and cheered when AJ won. Hopefully he can move on to a feud with Sting or Angle.
The X-division Title match was not good at all. They just did click, the match was slow and the ending was awful. Sabin to me was a better face. Lynn was my second favorite ECW wrestler and I think vs. AJ, Petey or Daniels he can have a 5 Start match still. But he needs someone who can mesh with his style and Sabin is not that person.
The Roode and Eric Young segment was just crap. Eric Young is so over with the fans, he should be going after the X-Division belt. I did think the film segments parts with Shelly, Dutt, and Nash were funny.
The mix tag was good, glad Petey was on the PPV and that Gail Kim got to show how good of a wrestler she is.
Prison Yard match, too me this PPV would have been a 5 without this match. Sting has always had 4 start matches with big men and he and Abyss tore down the house! Abyss deserves so much credit for all of the Tack and Barbwire spots he take. Mitchell deserves credit for getting whipped in the eye with the belt! Sting is still my favorite wrestler, he doesn't need to wrestle but to get the crowd into it, he's willing to dive off dumpster's through tables at his age! That's a true professional and he is so a credit to this business. Just a wonderful match that saved a show that had a serve lull in the middle of it.
World title match was a real good match too. Christian is the #2 heel is wrestling behind Edge right now. He was awesome and I'm glad he got a pretty clean win over Angle. (using a pipe as a heel is still pretty clean victory to me). They need to let Christian hold the belt until Joe beats him. Angle is way over and like Sting does not need to be champion, but Christian does need to be the Champ. Overall a good PPV, better than the last TNA PPV. Hopefully that Destination X PPV, they will have a great ultimate X-match and build a solid challenger for Christian's belt.
