If this isn't significantly better than Sacrifice, TNA may as well just pack it up. If the Sting vs. Hardy match was any indication of what we can expect from Sting vs. RVD, then the main event on this card will be horrible.

I'd expect a little better for a few reasons. One RVD is a better in-ring performer than Hardy period. Two its a PPV match vs a TV match. Third and this is the main reason, Hardy has been terrible since getting to TNA. He's been botching moves like crazy, his selling has been poor and he just seems like he doesn't care. Which he probably doesn't.

I guess you have a point. Hardy has looked pretty damn bored since he came to TNA. There were several botched moves and missed spots in that match with Sting. It was pretty unwatchable. RVD seems reinvigorated since he came to TNA though.

RVDs the best, especially on PPV. Man do I miss his half hour + matches when he was in ECW. Im not and never was a big Sting guy, but he can atleast still sdomewhat work a match. Should be good

[Dominator83]

Im not a huge TNA guy, but man am i digging this card. Looks to be a pretty damn good PPV

[Tricky Ricky]

Im putting my money on Angle/Kaz to steal the card

Yeah that will be the show stealer for sure...

[Dunthreevy]

Never thought I would say this, but I hope Kendrick wins the title from Williams.

[CapeCrusader]

Find it weird that the X-Divison was the focal point at one time for TNA....it was higher then the Cruiserweight Divison in WCW and now theres not much to it. Especially since AJ and Joe are in the Heavyweight Title picture.

[CapeCrusader]

Going with...

RVD
Hardy/Anderson
Angle
Hernandez
Williams
Lethal
Wolfe
Rayne

[skbucks1985]

Pretty good PPV so far. Kurt Angle has a match that should be a match of the year candidate, what else is new? The 3D/Jesse Neal feud hasn't interested me at all and this match didn't either. I was expecting a little better out of Kendrick and Doug Williams, but this match didn't get much time plus Douglas Williams isn't a great fit for the X-Division. Morgan/Hernandez that was a progression of the angle, it did its job I suppose. Roxxi/Madison was a solid women's match. Abyss/Wolfe was decent although hopefully now Wolfe can feud with someone who can actually wrestle, I'd recommend Joe. And Lethal/Styles was also excellent, a notch just below Angle/Kaz.

Wolfe
Rayne

8/9 isn't bad

[CapeCrusader]

Read the results...dunno why TNA brought in Dreamer. The only way it's a good move is if they form and ECW type of faction with RVD as the leader with Dreamer, 3-D, Raven, Rhino and Stevie Richards.

[skbucks1985]

I'll be a jerk and point out that Matt Morgan technically won that match.

[CapeCrusader]

It's all good...I screwed up and forgot to predict the Jesse Neal and Brother Ray match.

[Dominator83]

I tohught the show overall was pretty mediocre. Tag match was decent but it really didnt have much meaning to it. Could have just been an impact match. Why wasnt the Band there?? If theyre nit going to use them atleast give the belts to someone else....... RVD/Sting was under par in my book, Man I miss those ECW half hour RVD matches..... Angle match was pretty kicka$$..... Abyss/Nigel Mcguin, errr, Desmond Wolfe match was pretty awesome with great bumps/spots..... Dudley/Jesse match wasnt very good but loved the Tommy Dreamer appearance. The X-division is just so irrevelant these days. I was actually rooting for The Brian Kendrick for crying out loud....

Good show, not great by any means, definately not worth shelling out 35 bucks to see though. If this is TNAs version of wrestlemania, then I would hate to see what their version of In Your House is like

[CapeCrusader]

^ If your reffering to Slammiversary as being the biggest show of the year. It's not...at least I think its not. Pretty sure Slammiversary is suppose to be like WWE's SummerSlam and Bound For Glory is like Wrestlemania.

[Dominator83]

I would really hope so. Now that you mentioned it, I was in attendance at Bound For Glory 2008 and it was a very good show. Wish they would do that event here every year.
