Turning Point 2010:


1) TNA X-Division Championship:

Jay Lethal(c) vs Rob Eckos ~ **1/2


2) Mickie James vs Tara~ 1/2*


3) TNA Tag Team Championship - Team 3D's Farewell Match:

Motor City Machine Guns(c) vs Team 3D ~ ***1/2


4) No Disqualification Match:

Rob Van Dam vs Tommy Dreamer ~ 1/2*


5) Losing Member of EV2 is Fired:

Fortune (AJ Styles/Robert Roode/James Storm/Frankie Kazarian/Doug Williams) vs EV2 (Raven/Steven Richards/Rhino/Sabu) & Brian Kendrick ~ **1/2


6) Lumberjack Match:

Abyss vs D'Angelo Dinero ~ *


7) Jeff Jarrett vs Samoa Joe ~ *


8) TNA World Championship:

Jeff Hardy(c) vs Matt Morgan ~ DUD


One match to really say that it is worth a look overall. Involved the Guns & Dudleys. No shock that it was good. Bad show. Don't get me started on that disgusting main event. I understand Anderson was injured, but did the replacement really have to be Morgan? Rob Van Dam was there. He's the guy who should have gotten the championship match as it is. They could have EASILY slipped RVD into it. His match vs Dreamer was so pointless, and bad, that it wouldn't have effected anything. I now worry to watch Final Resolution 2010 because of the Hardy/Morgan rematch. Such a shame too. Jeff's heel work following Bound For Glory was something that I thought was really good. Then he gets stuck vs a pile of crap in Morgan. Anderson isn't much better, however you got to draw the line somewhere. That match was GARBAGE.

[Shepard]

Only thing I remember from that show was Guns/3D which iirc was solid. Can't remember much from the match but apparently I had it at ***1/4 on my last watch.

Slowly (very slowly) buy surely plodding on w/ Aries in 2012.

Victory Road 2012 : Austin Aries vs Zema Ion

I actually almost forgot about this match and I'm happy I didn't. Really fun little sprint of an experienced heel vs a naive one. Opening exchanges are fun and Ion plays the little whiny bitch to a tee, all his expressions were on point.
Experience really told in this too, every time Aries would stop to gloat it'd work for him, but every time Ion tried it it'd bite him on the ass. Perfect example would be both men trying pendulum elbows but there were plenty other times. Finish was clever too, really liked Aries' selling prior to it. Enjoyable match.

***1/2

Sacrifice 2012 : Austin Aries vs Bully Ray

Pre match Ray interview is stellar (MYSPACE.COM/CALFZILLA), as is the video package detailing the feud. This really was a nice little thing TNA did and it seemed very natural to the two guys. Also I forgot I liked Sacrifice's theme, so that's a cool reminder.

This match hurt to watch sometimes. Aries' bump on the barricade was nasty. Match is all about the story and some sick character work though. Aries' hulking up and Ray's reaction to it was golden, every reaction Ray had was great really. Again I forgot the end to this so the nearfalls had me a couple times which was great. I only wish this had more time.

Also the solo 3D by Ray looked "very european" to me, Aries got some mad air on that.

****1/4


On a more general note is it just me or is 2012 >>>>>> 2011 in terms of pure ring work alone. Aries/Roode/Ray/AJ/Storm have all been busting out MOTYC's and im probably forgetting some.

[Obfuscation]

It's plain as day to know 2012 is a MUCH better year for TNA than 2011 was.

In regards to the MCMG/3D match it was pretty much what they gave us at Genesis 2007 with the added story of it being their "final" match. So a near carbon copy match with a new story tossed in helped even things out. Sabin does his run up the table flip again. It's still unreal to see.

I was thumbing through a good bit of matches I wanted to see/rewatch/revisit/etc. So here we go:

Destination X 2010 - Ultimate X Match
Motor City Machine Guns vs Generation Me ~ ****


Victory Road 2010 - TNA Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals
Motor City Machine Guns vs Beer Money ~ ***1/2


Final Resolution 2010 - TNA Tag Team Championship Full Metal Mayhem Match
Motor City Machine Guns vs Generation Me ~ *


Lockdown 2011 - Xscape Match
Chris Sabin vs Jay Lethal vs Amazing Red vs Brian Kendrick vs Max Buck vs Jeremy Buck vs Rob Eckos vs Suicide ~ **1/4


Lockdown 2011 - Lethal Lockdown Match
Fortune vs Immortal ~ ****


Slammiversary 2012 - TNA X-Divison Championship
Austin Aries vs Samoa Joe ~ ****


I don't know what happened with that Full Metal Mayhem match. Random spots with no flow whatsoever. Dull as dull can be. Especially for those 4 ultra talented workers. I mean...dare I say it was the most disapointing match from TNA that I've ever seen. Especially when Ultimate X was so brilliantly exhuberant. Exactly what Ultimate X matches should be every time.

Lethal Lockdown was kind of just there. All of the real top talent was booted out in no time flat. (Sabin, Lethal, Red) While Kendrick, who's good but in TNA really never became motivated, and garbage Rob Eckos remained towards the end.

Lethal Lockdown OWNED. Nothing more to add other than that's the ideal match for that gimmick. Bloody, gritty, puts a stamp on the program. Loved it.

Aries vs Joe was a holy shit level sprint. A real call-back to days of forgotten X-Division style matches. Only was fitting to bring that back on a show celebrating 10 years of the company.

MCMG vs Beer Money was a really nicely done tag team match. One of the best I've seen...? Not really. I went into it expecting more. Quite frankly all I got was a really good match. Not a great match. Don't mean to tear it up as I love all 4 when they duke it out, but I've seen people praise the hell out of it on here. Nobody mentions Beer Money vs Dudleys at Lockdown 09 in the same breathe, which btw was a better overall match. Whatever though. Not really too bothered by fans wanting to praise these guys. They work hard and want to show that they're the tops. Plus they went on to have the TNA 2010 match of the year not long after that in the 2/3 falls so that's what really matters I guess.

Why?

[Shepard]

I wasn't really paying that much attention when the Bucks were in TNA. Any essential matches of theirs i should check out?


I've also seen all of the best of 5 between MCMG and BM EXCEPT the 2/3 falls for whatever reason. they're all on my computer too so i have no excuse not to.

Random nonsensical spots for the sake of...well spots. It was just a flat out garbage match.

You have to watch their match from Bound For Glory 2010. Holy CRAP it rules. Ultimate X & debut match in January on Impact should be viewed too. Idk about No Surrender 2010 yet. Never seen it.

Go watch. I want to rewatch it too. I'm working on TNA's top *whatever number* matches atm. Might go 20 for fun, but at least Top 10. Got to watch the 2 out of 3 falls to make sure it stays on my list. It would be more fun if I got some others to join in this with me...

[Shepard]

You know I'd be down for that.

I have a rough idea of a top 15, but with some of my sporadic tna watching in years gone by im sure there's some forgotten gems im missing too. plus it means i'll have an excuse to watch MOAR 2005/6

[Obfuscation]

Now we got something cookin'

I'm about to rewatch AJ Styles vs Amazing Red from late 2003. This match was my favorite in TNA for a good while. Lets see how it holds up. (if this doesn't come off as well as I thought then my top 5 is gonna have to change DRASTICALLY)

Here's one that has strong potential to make the Top 20:


Destination X 2012 - TNA World Heavyweight Championship:
Robert Roode(c) vs Austin Aries ~ ****1/4

What a story behind it. Two shockers came from this match:

1) The crowd actually HELPED make this feel huge.
2) Tenay & Borash(Taz wasn't there, which was probably for the best) did a real nice job at adding to the story. Helping it flow with the action in the ring. I legit can't think of a time the TNA commentating team has done that since about...oh 2007 when it was Christian vs Samoa Joe for the World Championship.

What a match. What a story. What a moment when Aries wins the gold. I got goosebumps.
