TNA Victory Road PPV Review 3/18/2012

Note: This is going to be an interesting PPV for TNA. Almost all the titles are on the line except the big title. Most of these matches should be interesting. I also think that this might be an interesting PPV because the big hype is geared to Wrestlemania 28. So here's my 3rd TNA PPV - Victory Road.......


James Storm def. Bully Ray
(I think this was a waste of a match because Bully Ray cannot really wrestle. James Storm basically caried this match only because Bully Ray is more of a fighter than a true wrestler. Most of this match was geared to Bully Ray but the end was my favorite part because Storm won and it was over.)

Austin Aries def. Zema Ion

(So I am confused? Are both these guys heels or is one a face? Zema Ion makes me sick for taking credit for taking out someone that was an accident. Austin Aries in a great wrestler but he's being used in the wrong way. So this was not a good match but I liked most of the match. Aries is a good X division wrestler but he does need real competition.)
Magnus and Joe def. Crimson and Morgan
(Thank you god for this match! I did not want Crimson and Morgan to win. I am thankful that I am not going to see these goofy ass guys win the tag belts again. I do feel sorry for Joe and Magnus because they have to carry those titles until someone else gets a shot. Or rather, get stuck with it.)

Devon def. Robbie E. (New TV Champ)
(So Bully Ray is a main eventer but Devon gets a crappy title? Damn, that's fucked up. So they get the title off Robbie E. just to give Devon a bump? WTF! This is why I think there is a lack of young wrestlers because most these people want the old men to carry the company. Oh god.)

Gail Kim def. Madison Rayne
(Thank you god for these women. I know this was not a good match but then again, I like these women for wrestlers. I have said that TNA women wrestlers are better than WWE because they actually can wrestle for like 5 minutes not 30 seconds. Thank you ladies.)
Anderson and Styles def. Daniels and Kaz
(This was a filler match. No one knows why this was a match for the PPV. I don't either. Moving on.)
Kurt Angle def. Jeff Hardy
(Any matches with Angle is confusing to me. Only because he's not getting into feuds, he's bored and want to wrestle guys that are overrated and done. Jeff Hardy looks so lost. I guess the point of this match was to kill some time before the main event.)
Bobby Roode def. Sting
(What was the main reason for this match? Why was this the main event? Why? Sting is not an icon. Roode is a good wrestler and should have faced James Storm but that's for next month. Sting does not got it. Taker is still good even on a shitty year. So this was a big waste of time. However, thank god for the after match stuff. Why does Dixie Carter trying to be involved on TV stuff? She reminds me of Sherri Martel without a soul or class.)

Final Thoughts: When it comes to TNA PPVs, I would rather pay for pornos. I don't pay for these PPVs. I watch them for free via friend's DVR. Watching these matches makes me want ECW back. At least Paul Heyman could turn shit into gold. TNA was awful only because they are scared to go up against Wrestlemania. Most of these matches were garbage. I did like the women's match only because I just wanted to see if Gail Kim would make this a good match. She did. Madison Rayne is not good but I love seeing her cute shape in the ring. Roode was awful but only because he has to carry Sting. So this is not a good day for TNA but thank god WWE is about to finish their road to WM28. See you guys for WWE Raw.
