Angle vs. Jarrett II ****1/4 - ****1/2
Shelly vs. Sabin **** 1/2

Shelly vs. Sabin is my current MOTY tbh.

Can't say I'm feeling the ****1/2 love for Sabin/Shelley. It was an awesome match but not the classic a lot of people are saying it is. ****.

Shawn Michaels vs John Cena - Raw 12.01.2009

I concur. It was a fun match, but it kinda felt too much like they were just chaining cool moves together, trying to keeping it fast-pased. Yeah, I liked the match, but it was no way near ****½. The finish sucked aswell.

But then we come to Jarrett vs. Angle, which was one of the best grudge matches I've seen in a while. The only thing was the finish: grudge matches don't end in roll-ups. Get that TNA, get that...

Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin - ***½
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle - ****½

Are me and Seph the only one's who preffered Sabin/Shelley to Angle/Jarrett?

Both were shit finishes but it's TNA I guess.

Yeah that's the only thing that really bugged me. If they just had Angle finish the match with the beatdown that followed the match and a tapout to the Ankle lock, the match would've been like ****3/4+ for me.

No I liked Sabin/Shelly better as well, ****1/2 from me. I kinda liked the finish, both men had thrown everything at the other, so Shelly had to outsmart Sabin.

Sabin vs. Shelley ***½
Angle vs. Jarrett ****

More this TNA!

I haven't seen Angle/Jarrett in full yet but I saw the last couple minutes and I agree with Tarfu about the finish. There's nothing wrong with the finish itself, it worked great for HHH and Hardy at No Mercy, but you don't end a brutal grudge match like that.

As for the Sabin/Shelley finish, I liked it. It wasn't the most exciting conclusion but it made sense within the context of the match so thumbs up from me. The story was that Sabin and Shelley knew each other so well that in order to win someone had to pull off something the other guy wouldn't expect and that's exactly what Shelley did.

Exactly. imo the perfect ending would of been Jarrett passing out in a pool of blood from the pain of the Anklelock.
