James Storm vs Chris Harris (Sacrifice 07) ****1/4

The two former members of the greatest tag team in TNA history faced eachother in a Texas Deathmatch. Going into this match, Storm damaged Harris eye when he slammed a beer bottle right over it. The end of AMW, the birth of a vicious feud. After a few weeks of recovery, Harris finally got the green light and was able to wrestle.
A brawl broke out shortly after the bell rang and they went thorugh the crowd. Harris took control and did a cross body from the ring in the crowd were Storm was standing. First pinfall, but Storm was up before 10.
Now it became vicious when Storm smashed a chair twice in Harris' head and the blood was pouring out. Eye of the Storm through the table for a pinfall, but Harris could get up before the ten count.
Harris changed momentum when he cut Storm's head open with the edge of the table. Both man were bleeding heavily, almost worrying, but it added a lot to this match. Selling was fantastic as both man became dizzy because of the big loss of blood. Harris found some energy and gored Storm from the apron through the table, right on the concrete. Both man were death, but somehow stood up and got back in the ring. Harris tried to finish Storm, but got superkicked while having a chair on his face. Two count only for Storm, who grabbed a trash can lit. He smashed it over Harris twice, but now the Wildcat took one as well and they both hit eachtother relentless. What a fight!
Catatonic through the trash can, but only a 2 count. They both took a beer bottle and tried to finish eachother at the same time, but Harris hit Storm first. K.O. shot. He got the pinfall and Storm couldn't answer the 10 count. It's over.

X Division Seedings Match - Turning Point 2008

What an awesome opener, the msot underrated match on the card. Everybody seems to be giving this match the **3/4 rating? Just because Eric Young won the match doesn't mean the actual match needs to be pissed on. I honestly think this is one of the best X_Div matches of the year. It had great pacing, and the new TNA guys (Volador, Tanahashi and Doug) were all showcased immensely and proved they belong in TNA. Seriously, this match had awesome pacing, great psychology and awesome in ring action. To call the X-Division dead after seeing such a great match like this is insane in my eyes.

All in all i think this match was just brilliant, Volador owns hard too

***1/2+

My apologies if this has been posted already...

Meltzer's Turning Point ratings:

X-Division ranking match: ***
Wilde/Roxxi vs Kong/Saeed: **1/4
Abdul Bashir vs Rhino: **
Beer Money vs MCMG: ***1/2
Booker T vs Christian Cage: **
Kurt Angle vs Abyss: ****1/4
Samoa Joe vs Kevin Nash: ***1/2
Sting vs AJ Styles: ***1/4

[AlwaysSunny For AIW]

I say Meltzer got about right or is close on what I have on most matches on that show. But I found the X-Division ranking match average at best and while I did think Beer Money/MCMG wasn't bad, he has it higher then me.

Good match, Nash did a very good job but why did he go over? Damn to make it worse, it was a clean win. Joe started strong, but once Nash took control he just toyed around with him. Joe kicked out of a few powerbombs, but still he lost against Nash. I can’t live with that, really I can’t. It may sound harsh, but I’m sick and tired of him. Fuck you Nash, pass the fucking torch.

You call a low blow and a rollup with his feet on the ropes a clean win? Nash, as well as the rest of the MEM, needed to go over, and this was the best possible way for Nash to go over. A chair shot to the head, ramming the head to the exposed turnbuckle multiple times, and two Jackknifes couldn't beat Joe. Joe didn't look weak at all. Great match. ***1/2+.
