TNA VICTORY ROAD


Sunday, March 13th, 2011 from Orlando, Florida

TOMMY DREAMER vs. BULLY RAY: This was a classic pseudo-ECW match. They wrestled all over the building. They used weapons like a blow-up sex doll. The finish had D-Von's sons come out and distract Bully Ray and then Dreamer and D-Von put Bully through a table. Probably as good as it ever could have been. *1/2 (out of ****)

ANGELINA LOVE & WINTER vs. SARITA & ROSITA: Remember when TNA had good women's matches? Those were the days. -No Stars-

MATT MORGAN vs. HERNANDEZ "First Blood Match": Hernandez should go back to AAA. And I've never seen a good First Blood match. Hernandez was cut but sprayed fake blood onto Morgan and Morgan lost. 1/2*

KAZARIAN vs. ROBBIE E vs. MAX BUCK vs. JEREMY BUCK "Ultimate X Match": This was a great match. Kazarian's moves look so dangerous. I'd never agree to wrestle him. The two Bucks, who make up Generation Me, were phenomenal. Tazz called their one maneuver, "Circue du Soleil." The finish had Kazarian walking across the top of the structure while Robbie E set up a ladder and started climbing up. Kazarian knocked Robbie E off the ladder and grabbed the belt. There were a ton of moves that you really had to see to believe, but it was wild and super entertaining. ***1/2

BEER MONEY vs. INK INC.: Shannon Moore still looks like he's 12...but wasn't he wrestling in WCW? This match was oh-so boring. Beer Money is an embarrassment. -No Stars-

A.J. STYLES vs. MATT HARDY: Hardy did a moonsault off of the top rope. Otherwise this match was epically slow. Why weren't Somoa Joe and Kurt Angle on this show? *

MR. ANDERSON vs. RVD: Dave Meltzer said it best when he said, "Does TNA want people to stop buying their ppv's?" This match ended in a double count out when Anderson DDT'd RVD on the ring apron and they both couldn't get back in. A terrible finish to an average match. **

STING vs. JEFF HARDY: Wow. A minute long main event. And it was still better than half of the other matches. Sting pinned Hardy 1:28 into the match. Hardy did take a very long time getting out from the back to make his entrance. I'm guessing he was hurt. If that's the case...why not change the main event? It's not like TNA promotes their ppv matches anyway. As Sting walked up the entrance way after the match the fans were yelling stuff at him and he said, "I agree. I agree." Even the wrestlers realize their company sucks. That's not good. 1/2*
