They said Steiner will cash in his Feast or Fried briefcase next month so there will be no rematch yet.

1. Joe/Angle

Did you watch the abortion that was Hard Justice?

An unbelievable match, and there was really nothing wrong with the finish. Joe absolutely killed Angle with the superkick and then finished him off with the Muscle Buster. It was excellent.

****1/2, at least.

The 'reports' said a long reign for Joe, didn't they? The TNA reports tend to be pretty accurate.

So was the match really MMA-style, or did it end up a basic wrestling match?

Gave Angle vs. Joe ****3/4. Lethal Lockdown I gave ****1/2. That alone makes it a must buy for anyone.

Well here's my thoughts on the Angle vs Joe match. I was a bit worried about the MMA aspect of this match. As a fan of MMA and professional wrestling I just didn't think it would be a good idea to cross to the two to the degree people were expecting. Yeah wrestlers use moves that MMA Fighters would and it works but it's not a fight, it's a wrestling match an event with a predetermined ending and not a real fight. I just don't feel like the beginning of this match added a lot to the mix. I love seeing the intense training videos and incorporating some real fighter moves into an arsenal, but to have the entire first half the match as a "fight"... I just don't think it worked. The pace was real too slow and you knew neither one was going to get KO'ed or submitted... it's wrestling... not a fight. I feel like this match really took off once they started wrestling and got away from the MMA. There was good psychology in the match, good back and forth and some great submission work... but the overall flow and pace of the match was really hurt by the start. I'm glad to see Joe finally get the belt as he has worked his ass off, but this was not Joe and Angles best match. I give this match ***-1/2. It needed more action and the Muscle Buster as the finisher was a little weak after Joe kicked out of the Olympic Slam.

There should be a fatal 4 way next month between Joe, Steiner, Angle & AJ Styles. Now that would be awesome.

Mat based the entire time. And it worked. The crowd loved it, I enjoyed it. You don't get to see many pure wrestling matches anymore.
