Skipped through a Majority of Raw, was entertained by the majority of TNA.
Alot of new stars especially shaw vs silva who i didnt pay that much attention too.
It was a decent episode not so much for story development but for pushing the brand as a place that promotes indie wrestler . Eg. Good to see silva building some heel attitude, wish he called out Rude though like he should have on his debut.

Jay I agree with a lot of what you say, I just have a few additional comments. But overall, good blog. Are you giving stars based on an "out of 5" or "out of 10?" I'll assume out of 5, but thought I'd check to be sure since you gave it an 8 at the end.

Garrett and Wes: Great match, I wasn't looking forward to it but they really put on a decent show. I was impressed.

York and Hardy: I am really hyped for York. He has the look and the skills to be a major player. I thought putting him up against Hardy so early in his TNA run might have been a mistake, but again I was (I think) wrong. They put on a fantastic match, perhaps the best of the night. I haven't been a big Hardy fan before, since the drug thing, but the past month or so he's starting to win me over. (I still think his makeup gimmicks are stupid though.)

Taeler and Tara: I have to both agree and disagree with you here. I don't think Taeler showed a lot in this match, Tara looked so much better from a wrestling standpoint. Taeler looked a lot better from an "oh my god this girl is so bloody hot I need to change my pants" standpoint. I do see a feud with them in the near future though and, since it means I'll get to drool over Taeler's perfect little butt more often, I can't see a downside to that.

Turkey Suit Match: Yeah, it was kinda stupid, but I noticed EY doing a *lot* more serious wrestling than he has recently. I really really really think they need to drop the comedy angle with him and let him bring it. He is an excellent technician and it showed.

Kaz and AJ: Again? I don't like AJ's new haircut, btw. Yeah, they were great, they pulled off the moves flawlessly, but having seen it before ... and I mean having seen it A LOT before ... I wasn't as interested. At least it wasn't Daniels vs AJ. Oh wait, that's at the PPV. One last time. Again. It's worse than WWE and their "once in a lifetime" match between Rock and Cena when it's odds on that it'll happen again.

Aries, Bully Ray and the Hogans: Really? REALLY? Really. First TNA had the partial-birth abortion that was the Claire "scandal" with AJ Styles. Then WWE pulled off the same thing, but better, with AJ Lee and Cena. And Styles got a shot in at the WWE for it too, on worldwide TV, which I found a bit funny. Now TNA is trying the same thing again with different players? None of which are named AJ, so at least that's different. Once in a while, OK. Every time you flippin' turn around? Not so good.

Just some things I had to get off my chest.

it was good i like the end
all four of them looking at each other
