Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin - ****1/2+ - An amazing X Division match that brought back memories of the glory days of the division in 2005. Awesome pace and flow, great near falls, and a good finish where Shelley suckers Sabin into getting pinned after neither man can finish the other with their finishers.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle - ****1/2 - ****3/4 - I didn't think they could top their first match. Much to my pleasure I was proved wrong. Just an outstanding match that featured technical wrestling, brawling, hardcore, and even some sick spots. The Angle Slam off the stage was INSANE and the look on Double J's face as he crawled back into the ring with his Flair-esque bloody-blonde hair was priceless. A classic. Part 3 is going to be ridiculous.

Probably slightly higher with a different finish, best X title match in ages tho, glad to see Shelley has finally become an X division champion and a Homicide/Shelley fight for the title has me very intrigued.
Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle-****1/2
I didn't think they could top their 1st match but they did, this was probably better than anything in TNA from 08 just ahead of the AJ/Angle LMS. Epic in every sense of the word, simply off the charts. Double blade job with both men bleeding buckets and just killing each other for 20+ minutes, intense isn't even the word.
I went and re-watched Muthoh/Tanahashi, and I've changed my rating to ***1/2
I actually counted some moves Mutoh did: 10 forms of the Dragon Screw Leg Whip, 7 Shinning Wizards, and even though I didn't count, there were probably 11 or 12 dropkicks to the knee.
Overkill, sure, but I loved the emotion shown by Tanahashi. It was obvious that this match was intended for him to shine.
And if some people think I'm overrating it, I saw on another site that somebody gave it 9.0 out of ten. To put that in perspective, he gave Kobashi/Misawa from '03 a 9.1
Shelley vs Sabin - ****1/2+ - I loved the hell out of this match, the only gripe I ahve with it is that the finish was kind of meh... I would of liked a clean finish, and THEN respect after the match. But I guess Shelley was heeling it up out their and they needed to have him win like this to show that he is in fact a heel... Thats my POV. MOTY so far. Phenomenal.
Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarret - ****1/2 - Awesome match, Jarrett bumped like crazy. I love the finisher, and chair shot kick outs, but once again.. The finish was a little meh.. And the aftermatch beatdown was pretty average too. Better than BFG, MOTYC For sure! Amazing.
