Another match is a piss break KO match.
The tag match not only has the unneeded addition of Guerrero/Hernandez (and it shows how bad TNA's tag div has gotten), it also further prolongs the dull AJ-KazDan fued.
And finally, King Mo is simply unnecessary for Storm-Roode. Don't be surprised as another screwy finish here.

I can almost agree with you on the World Title build. They should've at least gone for the first strike by now. There's not much conflict involved.
Also agree on the KO match.
Adding CHAVO and Hernandez was a way to add variety towards the match than the same tag match they saw at the most previous PPV. If Styles/Angle/WTTCOTW was a best of 5 series, then it would be ok. And as long as they don't mention the thing with Claire Lynch, I'm happy.
King Mo is being used kayfab wise the same way Shamrock was used at WM 13 and Angle at BFG 06. He's the guy that's gonna wander around the ring til a ref bump then ref the match. If there's a screw job, then be set for Roode/Mo. And no, I wouldn't be surprised.

Not really, I had high hopes for Austin Aries vs Samoa Joe and AJ/Angle vs Daniels/KAZ.
Both delivered, but what made the ppv special was the overall presentation with a hot crowd. Anderson vs RVD vs Hardy and Ray vs Park surprised me for their quality and Sting vs Roode was "lackluster".

This thursday all the pieces will be in place and we will have at least 80% of the card.~
I'm hoping for:
- puma vs zema ion
- samoa joe vs magnus
- joey ryan vs al snow

Good point right there but still no excuse for TNA to not make the card better. Even after all the departures with barely no replacements they still have a good roster and they don't use it to its potential. They have a paying crowd in the arena and half of the roster (great talent and not only jobbers) takes a backseat. This is a bushleague move.

Well the paying crowd would probably disagree with you. I'm sure they're happy that Jeff Hardy is in the main-event instead of Bully Ray. Anyways, I actually like the card so far. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a really exciting show.

I dont think the card is an actual problem. Its just the lackluster build for it.
The ME is clearly lacking some excitement.
The Aces&Eight Vs. TNA isnt about the match itself. The stipulation is just dumb. Its all about who is the leader.

Think it will be a Good PPV, but not that excited going into it.

Exactly. It doesn't feel like their WrestleMania. They should've done tons better from the start. Aries and Hardy should've already had went for the first strike on each other. Where's the X Division? Most of the problems it has is based on the way time is spent including matches and other certain promos that have nothing to do with the PPV.

Did I complain about the damn main event? No.
I wanted Storm vs. Roode in some sort of No DQ match and not for the title. I got that. And I never disliked Austin Aries to defend against the winner of the BfG Series. I was hoping for AJ to win the series, but I'm OK with Hardy. I understand why they give him this spot. In addition, I like the Tag Team Title Match, though AJ/Angle vs. WTTCOTW III would have been prefered. If Joe vs. Magnus takes place for the TV Title, it's what most people wanted. So we have four promising matches, right?!

Seeing the line-up of the Fan Interaction, knowing about the angles going on (and not going on) and knowing that the Aces & Eights pay-off is a normal fuckin tag match, the rest of the card is going to dissappoint. Oh, and the rematch between Tara and Tess sucks.

[Obfuscation]

Build does lack. Still looking forward to some matches signed. Specifically Hardy/Aries. Idk where people are assuming Joe vs Magnus is a lock. I'd love to see it, but sheesh jumping to conclusions much? We'll see when the next friggin Impact airs.

Al Snow vs Joey Ryan better be made. Oh PLEASE TNA SIGN IT.

Also that's where the build on TV is going. I think I'd have preferred if Magnus has won the title and Joe was challenging though, just because I think Magnus could be a good mid-card heel champ.
