Mick Foley vs Nash was better than anyone thought.

Traci Brooks will beat ODB, then they all hold the titles in TNA.
MEM is becoming the NWO, was great, but needs to just die before it kills the company its in.

Ok, here is my very basic review of the show (very very basic) The Steel Asylum was match of the night for sure. I was shocked just how into it the fans were, especially when it came to D'Angelo Dinero. Glad to see Daniels take the win, but it sort of gave away to me that Joe would win later on. Some cool spots and this one actually had me on my feet. Abyss vs Holliday was better than I had anticipated since I anticipated nothing. It served it's purpose and Holliday came out looking pretty tough. Hernandez vs Terry was probably best off being what it was since Terry has no formal wrestling training to my knowledge....this was just a way to get Hernandez back his briefcase. British Invasion vs Beer Money was a decent match...can't say much sticks out though. The first of many stupid finishes of the night. The Knockouts match was better in-ring than I thought, but had the finish I was dreading...Deaner with the win. If they put him down as champion they are  ing stupid! The Knockouts draw the best ratings....so let's put the belt on a male hick! Joe vs Homicide disappointed me...maybe just because I had built it up so big in my head. Sorry to say but Joe and Homicide have gone stale in the ring in their recently stagnant roles, and I hope this upcoming program with Daniels brings the best back out of Joe because I was saddened by the performance from two of my favorites tonight. Granted still a good match, just wanted more...call me greedy. Team 3D/MEM and Foley/Nash were both 10x better than I had anicipated. That may have something to do with my love for brawls and the fact that I never get to see blood in WWE anymore, so I eat it up when I see it now. Props to Steiner and Foley for surprising performances tonight. Main event = letdown. Decent match, horrible horrible horrible finish. Granted neither Sting or Morgan are right for the belt right now, but Angle is worse. In all actuality I don't know who actually deserves the belt right now...I guess Morgan or AJ is as close as it gets. Overall a decent show, and worth the 30 bucks that my Dad payed for it so I didnt have to. 6/10 |

As far as the MEM goes, give it until Bound for Glory where it will have been a year and is the logical jumping off point. If it's still around afterwards then yeah, TNA's got a big problem.

I'm still hoping that at Bound For Glory, we see the following:
AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle ( c )
Daniels vs. Samoa Joe ( c )
Sting vs. who cares, it's his last match
Abyss vs. Mick Foley
Cody Deaner vs. Kevin Nash ( c )
... something like that.

The way it looks. Angle will end up in jail and Dixie will say "No problem" and he'll cut promos live via sat. from jail with his cellmate behind him. He'll show up at the arena being led down in handcuffs & 10 cops. He'll somehow win even though he's handcuffed. |

I love the bitterness towards Angle. The man is their overall best talent... theres no reason he shouldn't have a nice, healthy reign as champion.
Also can't wait for the Cena/McMahon feud, where McMahon can't get the upper hand on him. So he cuts a promo of him sitting in a chair, which ends with:
"I will inject John Cena... with a lethal dose of poison! Me... and the M... E... M!"
Then the camera zooms to McMahon's chair having the Main Event Mafia logo on the back
... thats new and fresh, right? Never been done?

How will MEM kill TNA? There ratings are at their best (yes I realize they still arent great) but they are up to both TNA's and Spike's standards. I know I will keep watching, and so will most of you. Will it get boring? Potentially..but right now I still sort of like it. As for the casual fan...well my Dad is proof that they love this crapbecause the only wrestling he watches these days is TNA and you know why? Wait for it.....to root against the Main Event Mafia!

Look at it, you've got Jeff Jarrett who's wife passed away and he's some how able to move on with his life and start dating again. Dixie takes Angle side and suspends Jeff, tkaes him off TV, and removes him from power basically. Angle gets been charged with driving with a suspended license, illegal possession of the HGH, breaking an order of protection and harassment and is STILL on TV with the top spot? Jeff has a life.. gets his balls busted for it. Angle breaks laws & gets rewarded for it? Bull. Just my two cents. I could've over looked it if Jeff didn't get screwed in this whole situation. |

Honestly, I really don't see the Main Event Mafia angle ever accomplishing any higher purpose. I don't see them crumbling apart or anybody getting a nice rub from them and what not.
I was never a fan of Evolution at the time but my god...if that stable's breakup and ultimate demise wasn't handled perfectly I don't know what was. So many quality storylines and matches and pushes stemming from the faction and its breakup. TNA should take notes.
But quite honestly there is very little TNA can do with the Mafia at this point. It's filled with old, washed up, overglorified wrestlers who really don't have that much star power to begin with. Sure Angle( who I should note isn't washed up by any means) is a star, but he's not a star in the likes of a Triple H or a Hulk Hogan. Whoever beats him will get a quality rub( hopefully) but who else in that group can really provide any sort of rub?
The Mafia is too packed with guys who really..I don't know how to explain it..really don't have much to offer. The angle as a whole has very little to offer, nothing that will have a long-term positive impact on the company.

Kurt is more useful for TNA that Jeff is. Not taking sides, just pointing out the obvious.

Angle has broke LAWs and gets a pat on the back and a cookie. Jeff dates someone and gets his balls busted for it? It's bullcrap. |

He means his own I think because it every member of MEM is a champ in TNA Except Traci - which is ironic, because she actually deserves the belt and should be the Knockout's champ.. |

Yeah, because she thinks Angle's the best thing since sliced bread and TNA will die without him. It won't. There was a TNA before Kurt Angle, there will be a TNA after Kurt Angle. Angle's not gonna stay in TNA forever. |
