WHOA! The idea that the Angelina-Madison match or the Mickie-Madison match are on a "Greatest Matches" show is almost silly, and the idea that they would put ANYTHING from Victory Road 2009 on anything called a "Greatest Matches" show is completely offensive to me as a fan.
These aren't "best matches," they're matches, and if you put on a "best matches" show that features a bunch of mediocre stuff, people will assume that your best matches are just mediocre.

i was wondering about this and i just plain don't think that they're actually doing 'best' matches, and if they are, they're considering that they need to run this show for a long while and may want to keep some matches for later dates, otherwise i don't see how any Joe vs 'Pope Dinero' would be any better than Joe vs Angle. Same with the KOs

That still stands to my point, though: By calling a show "best of" and then presenting mediocre crap, you're just telling people that your "best" is mediocre. This is a company with a long history. Between years of great X-Division stuff, Gail vs. Kong matches, AMW vs. Triple X, LAX Title defenses, etc., they could easily be putting on shows that much better represent the "best of TNA" with a lot of history left to spare for the future (and, you know, presumably they are always making more great matches, too, which they could use as future fodder for this show).
