Official TNA Victory Road 2009 Thread - 7/19/09

What was solid about it? the wrestling or the predictable storylines? or the anticlimatic taz debut?

Dude, I CLEARLY said- in this case. Meaning with TNA.

Yeah and using your logic, he obviously meant this TNA PPV since we are in the PPV thread.

You want me to explain it? Fine. Here we go.


Angelina vs. Tara: Good knockouts match with a good ending that left room for a rematch in the future and then followed up later that night with Madison (and/or Velvet) willing to do anything for Angelina.

Daniels vs. Morgan: A great match here that showed the talents off of both men and got Morgan more over to a point. You had Morgan showing (in storyline) that he could go with the "best of them" like Daniels and saw him getting heat on him by going after the injured leg of Daniels.

Abyss vs. Stevie: A solid story telling match that kinda brought back the old Abyss and mixed it with the new Abyss. It also had the continuity of Abyss hitting the shock treatment (Stevie's shock treatment that West goes on and on about) and the tazer.

3D/Brits: Decent little tag match here that could've done without the table being brought into play but it's their trademark so what can ya do and if you don't do it the fans won't STFU chanting "WE WANT TABLES". Williams & Magnus got a good bit of offense in on 3D and Magnus was actually impressive in the match imo.

Jenna/Sharmell: Dud.

Nash/Styles: Nice little match here where Styles was able to pull a good match out of Nash like some of us figured he would (and like he's done in the past) and had some good back and forth action. They told a good story aswell when Nash left with West/Tenay putting over how Nash could barley walk that put it over as a "fluke win" more so than anything. A little predictable but at the same time they worked the match to a point where I personally thought Styles would win at alot of spots (including after the Pele)

Steiner/Booker T vs. BMI: Another solid tag team match but was killed by the finish as Storm was right be the referee and Earls timing seemed after. Again, it kinda had that "fluke" feel to it like if Earl wasn't busy with Storm/Booker it would've been over and Steiner/Book got lucky in the match.

Sting/Joe: Not as good as their BFG match but still a nice little match but could've been good on so many levels. Taz debut was a little anti-climatic but the fans in the IZ didn't seem to care as they popped good for him and it again told a story and it got Joe fired back up and for once Sting actually freaking jobbed.

Foley/Angle: Eh, it was okay. Nothing to great but nothing abs. horrible at the same time. I think it would've been better had Angle not been hurt and Foley been in a little better shape because then Angle could've carried him to an even better match. It's kinda like with AJ/Nash they worked the match so well that at some points I thought it was over and Angle had lost the belt mainly due to his injury.

Overall a very solid show. Slammiversary, Sacrifice & Lockdown were all better to me but it was still a very solid show.

There, I explained everything for you guys.

Agreed.

If TNA was a person, they would have already had a restraining order against SG for sexual harassment.

I didn't watch, but I read results. The matches themselves sound like they're nothing amazing, but from a writing/long-term standpoint, it sounds like they're finally getting the MEM right. They're dominant, won all their matches, are holding most of the belts. The biggest thing is whether they follow up properly with the younger guys fighting from underneath and coming out on top. I don't follow enough to know where the logical points are next except for Lashley/Angle and Joe/Styles, but I'd like to see Styles go over Angle for the belt.

The Chants at the end of the Video didn't sound like T-N-A to me!

Cross The Line....I'm with you on this ppv. Just because you liked it; is your opinion. Who made those bungholes the Judge of "What Makes a Good PPV & Who Should Like It & Why"? If they didn't like it; it's their opinion. If you like TNA so what? Its good that you saw the good in it. It seems people like these losers live for the negative so they can have a reason to bitch. Even if it was good; they'd find a reason to bitch about something, and have nothing positive to say about anything. Like its wrong to say anything positive about TNA!
SCREW THOSE LOSERS!!!

This was an EXTREMELY boring PPV. That tazer spot was the most cheesiest thing I have seen since the electrified cage match. SOOOOOOOOO bad.

The Jenna Morasca match was one of the worst matches I have ever seen in my life. I hope to Christ that this is her last match. There aren't words to describe how bad it was. It's sad how TNA is paying her more than what a GOOD women's wrestler (Gail Kim) wanted.

The finish in Styles vs. Nash was lame, I did not like it at all.

Beer Money vs. Steiner & Booker T was kind of the highlight of the event, but that isn't saying sh*t.

No one cared about Taz coming in because you already stuck Joe in the Main Event Mafia, which is stupid and makes no sense because the reason why Taz was with Joe was to help him get rid of the Main Event Mafia, now they're both in the Main Event Mafia, and it's just intellectually- disabled. No one cared and it didn't have the impact that I guess it should have. I didn't think the angle could get any worse.

This PPV was garbage. Do not watch this PPV if you haven't already. Stay away from this PPV. It was so bad it wasn't even the humorous kind of funny. It accomplished not a damn thing, except Main Event Mafia winning all the gold, but what does that in itself accomplish? The end of the PPV just had me shaking my head and asking myself "What are they doing?". Taz WITH the Main Event Mafia? The whole reason for Taz to be with Joe was for them to get rid of the Main Event Mafia, not JOIN them. I don't even get it. There was nothing redeeming on this PPV. TNA should honestly be ashamed of this event.

Oh yeah.. because you totally saw where I said Jenna/Sharmell was the greatest thing ever. .
