Great seeing Scott Hall, X-pac, Nasty Boys, Ric Flair, Hulk, Jeff Hardy but the highlight of the night was still the Angle v AJ fight, amazing! Good to see Sting up in the rafters again. Made me even more annoyed the tour had been cancelled.
It really did live up to their name, Total Nonstop Action, you never knew what was happening next and it was just non stop and took me back to the great days of the 90s when WCW was as its peak.
I was a bit disappointed to be honest:
-the X division match in the "cage" was a complete dud and only Jeff Hardy's appearance rescued it slightly
-the women's matches were ok
-the Hulk + Hall & Waltman segment was pretty lame and only Bischoff's mic work fixed it up to some extent
-Taz is still an ordinary "color" commentator. Bring back Don West!
-the surprise appearances from Flair, Hardy, etc helped the show, no doubt
-Angle & Styles are always quality
I want TNA to succeed, but it still has the feel of old WCW shows where they taped episodes at a Disney studio.
(Note that I watched the edited 2 hr version of the original 3 hr show)
