TNA AGAINST ALL ODDS


Sunday, February 13th, 2011, from Orlando, Florida

KAZARIAN vs. ROBBIE E: I only caught the tail end of this match, but Kazarian won the X-Division title.

BEER MONEY & SCOTT STEINER vs. GUNNER & MURPHY & ROB TERRY: Steiner is still wrestling? That's a surprise. Kind of sad ppv with The Motor City Machine Guns and AJ Styles absent. This was average stuff really. **

SOMOA JOE vs. POPE: The Pope stalled early and kept leaving the ring. Ooooh...psychological mind games! The stalling probably is the reason I thought that this match was kind of short, because when they started wrestling it didn't seem to last long enough. Pope tapped out and Joe won. Nothing special, but Joe looked good. **

MADISON RAYNE vs. MICKIE JAMES: A wild brawl more than a match. **

MATT MORGAN/HERNANDEZ: So Hernandez hates Morgan because of the tension between Mexicans and Americans? Huh? Weird. Hernandez came out and beat up Morgan to set up a feud that makes absolutely no sense.

RVD vs. MATT HARDY: It was entertaining, but both guys are shells of their former selves and it's kind of sad. **

BULLY RAY vs. DEVON: So Devon's two sons came out and obviously got beat up by Bubba Ray Dudley...or Bully Ray...or whatever he's called now. Bully handcuffed Devon to the ring post and then put one of his kids through a table. It was a super slow, super mediocre match. 1/2*

JEFF JARRETT vs. KURT ANGLE: Good but not great, although Angle was incredible, fast, and almost at his best. These two had a spectacular match a few years ago in TNA and this one wasn't as good but still the best of the night. The hilarious stipulation is that if Angle lost he would have to walk Karen down the aisle to renew JJ and Karen's wedding vows. Who writes this shit? Oh, wait...I think Vince Russo still does. **1/2

JEFF HARDY vs. MR. ANDERSON “Ladder Match”: Remember the epic ladder matches Jeff Hardy was in in the WWE? Well forget those because they're gone. This was slow and really sloppy. Jeff did a lot of suicidal stuff but even the ending was botched when he fell from the top without the belt and then had to go scramble back up and get it. Anderson did take a ton of punishment, and even delivered his Fireman's Carry finisher onto a ladder which was awesome. Why did Jeff lose last month only to win here? A one month title reign for Anderson? Kind of lame. **1/2
