SONNY SIAKI & APOLO vs. CHRIS CANDIDO & LANCE HOYT - 5/10


Good aftermath.

PRINCE OF DARKNESS MATCH:
Dustin Rhodes vs. Bobby Roode (w/Team Canada) - 5.5/10


This was a 2 out of 3 falls match with the third fall (if necessary) being a blindfold match. They had some good wrestling in the beginning and some good comedy in the blindfold match.

SHANE DOUGLAS WITH DANIELS AND SKIPPER - Great

XSCAPE MATCH:
Sonjay Dutt vs. Shocker vs. Chris Sabin vs. Matt Bentley (w/Trinity) - 7.75/10


They kept breaking up pinfalls during the elimination pat of the match. I also think that the spot with the women hurt the match. Great action, though.

TABLES MATCH:
Raven vs. Jeff Hardy - 7.5/10


Great highspots by Jeff. The missed Swanton was absolutely SICK!

NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
America's Most Wanted(c) vs. Team Canada (Eric Young & Petey Williams) (w/Scott D'Amore & A-1) - 8/10


AMW are awesome babyfaces!

TNA X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH:
Christopher Daniels(c) vs. Elix Skipper - 7.75/10



LETHAL LOCKDOWN MATCH:
Team Jarrett (Jeff Jarrett, Monty Brown, & Kip James) vs. Team Page ("Diamond" Dallas Page, Sean Waltman, & B.G. James) - 5.75/10


Random violence with no real story, the finish was flat, and Tenay & DW's commentary was Gabe-style bad. The double POUNCE was a cool, though.

WINNER GETS AN NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SHOT AT HARD JUSTICE:
AJ Styles vs. Abyss - a PERFECT 10/10!


WOW! This was freaking epic!

Final Thoughts
Overall, an AWESOME show from TNA, capped off by a perfect main event. The previous PPV, Destination X, was TNA's first bad PPV, and boy was it a stinker, so TNA needed to come back strong... and boy did they ever. TNA did an excellent job of making all of the matches feel different, despite all taking place in a steel cage. A must own for any wrestling fan.
