Was it worth the money? Or effort to find the stream?

Best match? Worst match?

I didn't catch the show and I'd like to hear the opinions.

I watched the final three matches, and the in-ring action all delivered. AJ / Ray was emotional, well-executed, and just awesome overall. Angle-Jarrett was very, very good. And even Stinger delivered a decent brawl with Anderson, looking about as good as he can look these days. I hope to catch the other matches later on today, but it seemed like a solid PPV.

It had it's good moments but it was still shit.

PROS:
-Gun Money vs British Invasion. Great match but I would have had British Invasion go over.
-Morgan vs Steiner was actually ok.
-Crimson is getting loads better. He actually carried Joe at certain points in the match.
-The X Division match was pretty goood(except for the shit ending)
-Ray vs Styles was real good(except for the shit ending)
-Angle vs Jarret is FINALLY over! And the match was pretty good.

CONS:
-British Invasion continues to lose.
-They book a monster like Abyss to SNEAK a victory that a smaller guy usuaully does.
-Womens match sucked.
-BROTHER RAY defeated AJ STYLES in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH! WTF!?
-World title match was shit.

Hope Destination X is better than this. Slammiversary means nothing without King of the Mountain.

Rather than listen to others if your interested watch it yourself and make your own assumption.
Sick of sheep wanting to follow others.

It was pretty good. I had some issues with some finishes, and the Impact Zone is too small and blase to convey how sick some of the action really was, particularly in the Bully Ray/A.J. Styles match.

Sting and Anderson wasn't fantastic, it was about as good as it could have been.

I hope the FINAL MATCH really was the FINAL MATCH. It was really solid. Both Angle and Jarrett could be getting some younger guys over.

Overall, this was a pretty solid PPV. I'll definitely rewatch Bully Ray/Styles because the Mavs game was kind of stealing my attention.

Were we watching the same match? Either the dude had no clue wtf was going on in the ring or he deserves an Emmy. Where was he carrying Joe? Was he carrying Joe when he kept botching move after move? I can't believe some noobs are buying into this Crims-edge-berg hype.

Best TNA ppv this year, and for those who bought it, i'm sure that they are happy that they did.

Best match was no doubt AJ vs Bully Ray. I earlier said that the ending was shit, but looking back at it, it was the best way to make AJ look strong. AJ looked strong throughout the match, so nobody should really care about Bully Ray actually winning. AJ got up before Bully at the end btw so yeah...AJ may have lost the match, but he won the war as far as i'm concerned.

The one part of the show that I was worried about, Sting/Anderson, had decent brawling.

It was about as good as you could hope from a Sting/Anderson match and the right guy won. I know I want to watch this Thursday to see what develops from it.

I did learn one thing: A top 3 PPV for a company needs better commentary and a better venue. If they could have went on the road, got a venue that could hold 4 or 5 thousand people, and pack it the PPV would have gone from a really solid and enjoyable 3 stars to a 4 star PPV.

You don't notice how much commentary and crowd adds or detracts to a PPV until you see Impact do a nice PPV to 1000 people just barely giving a damn. Lockdown, Slammiversary, Hard Justice and Bound for Glory should NEVER be in the Impact Zone.

One of the first orders of business should be finding, at a minimum, a quality 3rd man in the commentary booth, if not firing both Tazz and Tenay and starting fresh with a new 3 man crew.
