TNA NO SURRENDER


Sunday, September 11th, 2011, from Orlando

JESSE SORENSEN vs. KID KASH: And you thought you already saw the worst ppv of the year (take your pick from any number of TNA shows)? This show had to be the worst of the year. It started with an un-announced X-Division #1 contender match. Sorensen beat Kid Kash, who I saw wrestle live at the ECW Arena in, like, 1999 or something. Not a good opener. *

BULLY RAY vs. JAMES STORM: Bully Ray is a good heel and funny on the mic, but he's not a good wrestler. So what does TNA do? They book him in two matches. Groan. 1/2*

WINTER vs. MICKIE JAMES: I actually like Winter but I'm not sure why. But remember Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim? TNA used to have entertaining women's matches. This was eh. *

MEXICAN AMERICA vs. DEVON & POPE: Hernandez did a leap off the top rope that was cool. Interviewing Rosita, who is a part of the Mexican America contingent, about her dead father (he died on 9/11) felt a little exploitative. *

MATT MORGAN vs. SOMOA JOE: Remember when Kurt Angle faced Joe for the first time and that ppv got record buy rates for TNA? Well apparently they don't remember it as Joe loses to Morgan here. Can we say 'waste of talent'? *

BOBBY ROODE vs. GUNNER: Pretty much unwatchable. -No Stars-

AUSTIN ARIES vs. BRIAN KENDRICK: The best match on the show and it was bad. Aries looks like he doesn't want to be in TNA. He botched one top rope flip to the ground and then jumped head first onto the guard rail. Kendrick is just a bore. *1/2

BOBBY ROODE vs. BULLY RAY: This was the final of the Bound for Glory series. Roode gets to face the champ next month. Not a good match at all. 1/2*

KURT ANGLE vs. STING vs. MR. ANDERSON: Hulk Hogan sprayed something into Sting's face and Angle slammed then pinned him. A very, very dull main event. 1/2*
