so over the last 6 months TNA has crawled out of the abyss and gotten good? reading wrestling subforum threads that seems to be the general consensus amongst fans of the business on the board.

Since the de-Russoification of TNA, it has improved dramatically. There's still some silliness like the AJ baby daddy stuff, but it's fewer and fewer.

The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH.

Upon further review, that isn't as bad as I first thought.

A victory would be considered a fall.

Zema Ion?

Ugh.

The guys behind him chanting "transition, transition" were killing me.

Aries as the new champ was a great move. You just made the X-Division title slightly comparable to the World Title. Aries can have a feud with Roode, who will end up getting the title back before Bound for Glory. The person that screws Aries out of the title is his match as BFG. Two main matches. Plus, once it's done, you have now made three new main event guys in the year since BFG 2011. Possibly four. Not bad. Well done.

Overall, decent PPV. You could tell many of these guys haven't worked together much. Xema Ion is about as over as Dick Murdoch at a Black Panther Party (see Forrest Gump).

Good PPV that was kept from being great by the X Division tournament matches. Just seemed like there was no flow to the matches, and putting the belt on Zema Ion was kinda meh.

The Joe-Angle match was solid with Angle losing by referee stoppage.

Daniels and AJ were great as always.

Austin Aries winning the belt was kind of a surprise, but not a bad one. Pleased with the clean finish on a TNA PPV.

Overall 8 out of 10
