They needed Sting to get Styles inactive because he and Angle have matches in Japan coming up so they need to leave now.

Angle/Styles was unbelievable...wish i could say the same for the rest... williams/petey and the jersey street fight were ok...the main event was very slow pace and nothing really exciting going on in it...and the only time i caught myself being interested in the tag team title match was with the border toss...UGH waste of money if you ask me

Even though I didn't care for the rules, Angle/AJ was really good.

After reading these results I am really happy I didn't waste the money on tickets and gas and drive an hour south to see this PPV. I normally don't watch TNA due to poor booking like this but being a wrestling fan I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to check it out live, thank god I didn't go.

In my opinion - you missed a great show.
Opener was good, Styles/Angle tore down the ass, main event was decent to good (depending on how you look at it), Tag Team Title match was good, Street Fight was good.

*Sigh*
Well.
My thoughts and experiences:
-Our seats were like right next to the penalty box where Cage and Bubba were fighting.
-I bought the event shirt and the green Cage shirt.
-That had to be probably the most out-of-shape wrestling crowd I've ever been a part of.
-The crowd skewed older than your average WWE crowd.
-Camera side of the arena was practically empty.
-Pyro was loud as all hell.
-One of the Phi Delta Slam guys was by the curtain with a headset.
-In my honest opinion, the show was pretty horrendous up until the last 3 matches.
-For as much as they talked up the Street Fight, the lack of glass tables, or even a broken wooden table, was disappointing.
-The Black Tie Brawl & Chain match was one of the biggest wastes of talent I've ever witnessed live...and I've seen the Spirit Squad.

Just got back from the show. It was pretty fun, but I don't know if I would have enjoyed the show as much if I wasn't there. The upper part of the arena where I was at was actually a lot nicer than the lower, more expensive seats. It was all carpeted and there was a nice view of the ring from the concession stands. There were actually seats right at the top available, so me and my friend had our own little section above where the other seats were, basically like a sky box. It was fun. Angle/AJ was match of the night. I was kind of annoyed because Christian climbed up right by where my original seats were, maybe a section away, so I missed him, but whatever. Afterwards, we hung around to watch the wrestlers come out. AJ and Christopher Daniels drove together, and AJ yelled up to me and my friend and waved. Overall, I had a lot of fun, even if the matches weren't perfect.
Chant of the night: "Fire Russo!"

Did you notice how every time Velvet Sky stood on the bottom rope while on the ring apron, the crowd in the section behind her would cheer insanely loud? She obviously noticed because she kept getting down for a little and then doing it again. They had a good view. |

I don't think I've ever watched a PPV and wanted it to end ASAP - aside from the always excellent Samoa Joe, and the Styles/Angle match, that was absolutely rotten.. Which is hilarious considering I think you guys get it for free... |

Anyway, I feel sorry for anybody who had to pay for that tripe - apart from SG of course .. |

I'm so glad Sting has turned to the dark side, a much needed change for what I'll think is going to provide some great TV.

Sting's not a heel.. he's more of a tweener than a heel. Sting's to high on himself to turn heel  |

The way they are going about Sting's situation is pretty horrible. Mainly for the fact that two straight PPV main events have a bullcrapending, not something that makes casual fans want to order again

I didn't get the rules of the last man standing match... did you have to pin/make them submit before they started to count to 10? I could have sworn the ref started to count to 10 when a pin didn't occur.
