TNA VICTORY ROAD


Sunday, March 18th, 2012, from Orlando

JAMES STORM vs. BULLY RAY: This was a minute long match. Not sure the point...but Storm had to be on the show since he is main-eventing next month's Lockdown ppv. ** (out of ****)

AUSTIN ARIES vs. ZEMA ION: Aries grabbed a phone and tweeted mid-match. That was probably the highlight. Yes...THAT was the highlight. Ion also did the same move that broke Sorenson's neck. Is he allowed to still do that? **

SAMOA JOE & MAGNUS vs. MATT MORGAN & CRIMSON: So Crimson turned on Morgan. Nobody cared. 1/2*

ROBBIE E vs. DEVON: Devon won the TV title...a belt I didn't even know TNA had. They shouldn't have split up The Dudley Boys simply because now we have to watch them in two matches instead of one. *

GAIL KIM vs. MADISON RAYNE: Ugh. Women's wrestling. 1/2*

AJ STYLES & MR. ANDERSON vs. KAZARIAN & CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: Kind of a typical TV match. AJ is too good for this. **

JEFF HARDY vs. KURT ANGLE: Not as good as you would expect. Angle held the ropes to win. These guys are sadly past their prime. Still...probably the best match on the show. **1/2

STING vs. BOBBY ROODE: Not slow but not particular good. The big problem was that the Lockdown ppv next month already has Roode vs. Storm so what's the chance of Sting winning? Sting did his finisher Death Drop move but hit the back of his head on a chair by accident in a spot that looked real. If it wasn't real it was an awful way to end it because Roode pinned him after it. After this Roode taped Sting's wrists to the ropes and was going to hit him with a chair but Dixie pleaded for him to stop. This was another bad show for TNA. *1/2
