[LWC]

Terrible finish. I expected a better finish.

[Stardust]

Wow, I Cannot believe this, I honestly thought TNA had a chance but they just don't get it! First off, the Hogan / Sting match (I dare call it a match) was horrendous. It was just miserable to sit through and just incredibly told a horrible story. Not only was it horrendous, it left 15 minutes for the World Heavyweight championship.

What should have been one of the best matches in the last few years came off rushed and and never told a story. In what has been one of the best jobs in professional wrestling over the past 15 years, TNA had done an incredible job in building Roode up for the championship! And what do they do, the turn this into a 12 minute sprint in which they screw Roode with a Rope job. This was so rediculous that no one will care! TNA truly believes that they can milk this for another PPV, but this just killed, I mean KILLED, everything that they built up for Roode. Just stupid!

[LWC]

^Absolutely ruined it.

[Stardust]

Most rediculous booking I have ever seen. And that includes what WWE has done with Punk

[Strikeout King]

sounds like it was a boring PPV

[Mr. Pike Central]

The early portion of the PPV was actually pretty solid.

But those last 2 matches really, really put the grade down.

I don't even wanna talk about the Hogan/Sting fiasco.

Angle & Roode had a good match, but the ending was just lame.

[Stardust]

sounds like it was a boring PPV

It actually was good until it got the the Hogan/Sting match, then it went downhill. Roode and Angle worked well together, but they were not given the time to tell a story, thus it was rushed and the ending just sucked!

[Strikeout King]

^ it's a shame to build up someone like Roode for him not to win the title.

[Stardust]

^ Amen to that
