OH tna final resolution My childhood hero is back in black again. THE STINGER! Was it a big mistake on TNA’s part? We’re about to find out. I still say they should’ve waited until Benoit’s contract was up and sign him instead. History proves that nostalgia is only cool until the high wears off.

Your hosts are Mike Tenay & Don West.

- Roderick Strong, Austin Aries & Alex Shelley vs. Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt & Chris Sabin (w/Traci)

Oh. My. Gosh. Traci is looking HOT in her school girl’s outfit. Sabin has a new look! He’s bleached some of his hair and has purple pearl jacket now! That’s fine with me. This match has the tendency to rock my face off. Sabin and Shelley start off by working the crowd. Sabin gets suckered in from a test of strength and then gets his face ripped off. Shelley runs into a boot from the corner and then takes an arm drag. Snapmare and stiff kick is followed by a basement dropkick to the back of Shelley’s head.

Shelley tags in and we get a catapult-running kick combo move from him and Strong. Strong nails Sabin & Bentley in order to bring them in and distract the ref so that Aries can do a senton on Sonjay who is lying across Shelley’s legs!

Shelley tags in Strong and that leads to more classic heel cheating by delivering a triple-team flapjack to Sonjay. Strong covers for two. Sonjay tries to fight back with a few kicks, but a Strong forearm puts him back down. Sonjay flips up out of the corner and kicks Strong back.

- The Diamonds in the Rough (w/Simon Diamond) vs. The James Gang

Tenay lets us know that first thing that this is the first time these two guys, Kip James (Billy Gunn) and BG James (Road Dogg), have tagged together in nearly six years. Are they going to do their old shtick? Of course they do. Ha, BG says pizzle and gizzle. Will Kip tell me if I’m not down with the James Gang, that I can suck it? Nope, he tells me he’s got three words for me. â€SGet it, got it, good.” Wow, did NOT see that coming. It looked like BG told Kip that that was five words, not three. He was all like, â€SHuh?” Hahahaha, beer. James Gang vs. AMW! Who’s with me? I want to see that. BG and Skipper start tna final resolution with some lock ups and tna final resolution Skipper takes BG down with a HARD shoulderblock and then badmouths him. â€STHIS IS tna final resolution HOUSE!” Skipper works the arm and then takes BG down with another shoulderblock.

Young follows out after him. Meanwhile, Skipper tries the PLAY OF THE DAY on Kip, but he blocks it and delivers a COBRA CLUTCH SLAM for the three-count. (7:49) * ½ That was decent enough for me.

We go to the back with Shane Douglas standing alongside Christopher Daniels. Douglas asks Daniels if he thinks he came back too soon from his concussion. Daniels says he’s not afraid to shed blood against Samoa Joe. Daniels says it comes down to what they believe. Joe believes he’s unbeatable, but Daniels believes there is a big difference between unbeaten and unbeatable. Joe’s reign of terror is going to come to an END, MUTHATRUCKER! Hey Joe, you better say your prayers! I definitely loved that promo.

- Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. AJ Styles - International X Match

Tanahashi wears his NJPW U-30 title belt to the ring. This is cool. I’ve never seen or even heard of Tanahashi until TNA. They lock up and some mat reversals, followed by a stand off. They trade hammerlocks during some dueling chants from the crowd. Tanahashi kicks out and snaps an arm drag. AJ fights up for a second, but goes back down to an armbar.

But not before Moore sneaks in and steals the award again! ** ½

Shane Douglas is in the back with Raven. Douglas says he knows how dangerous Raven can be because he’s in been in the ring with him. Douglas says its do or die time for tna final resolution Raven calls Zbyszko a festering piece of dung and a diseased yak. He’s also a fascist and a bully. He says Zbyszko has made his life a living hell. Wrestling is his mistress, his passion and his love. It’s the one thing at night that tna final resolution him from blowing his brains out. Wow, someone needs a life. He also comments that Zbyszko should have better things to as commissioner instead of ruining his life, like filing paperwork or tossing salads. Destiny is at work, but no matter the result, somebody is going to get hurt. He says Zbyszko better pray to God that it’s him. Quote the Raven, nevermore.

- Sean Waltman vs. Raven - No-DQ Match

I can’t believe they brought him back, again. If Raven wins this match, he gets his NWA World title shot. If he loses, his career in TNA is over. They’ve spent the last four months burying him so much, that he couldn’t possibly win this. No one would care to see Raven get a title shot now. Raven brings with him his cart of toys to the ring. Waltman comes out after him, so Raven rams the shopping cart right into him before the match starts. Raven then chases Zbyszko around the ring, but then he gets met by Waltman with a trashcan lid. Waltman tosses a trashcan full tna final resolution stuff into the ring. In they go, where Waltman attacks Raven with a kendo stick.

Raven grabs a trashcan lid that fell from the shopping cart and decks Waltman in the face with it. THREE TIMES! Raven sticks Waltman in the shopping cart and then pushes him off the stage! Waltman fell on his tailbone on the corner of the stage before he rolled out onto the floor. Jackass has got nothing on TNA. Raven has the cart again and rams it straight into Waltman’s head. They go back into the ring, but not before Raven can pull a table AND a ladder out from underneath the ring. Waltman ducks a Raven clothesline, so the ref takes it instead who rolls out to the floor. Nevertheless, Raven gets the RAVEN EFFECT, but there’s no ref. Waltman runs at Raven with a trashcan, but it gets kicked back into his face. Raven covers and Zbyszko comes in, acting like he’s going to count the pinfall. He counts two, but then goes REALLY slow on the third try for Waltman to get his shoulder up. Waltman low-blows out of a ten-count corner punch. He hits a bad-looking X-FACTOR, which gets two. It was a fair count, too! Waltman takes the ladder and sets it on the bottom corner. He then takes a weight-lifting belt and whips Raven with it. Waltman lays Raven on the ladder and whips him in the FACE with the belt. We now see Dave Hebner from one of the entryways looking on getaway club match too. Waltman tries a bronco-buster, but Raven moves and Waltman busts his own balls. Raven covers and Zbyszko does a slow count which Waltman rolls the shoulder at two. West ~ â€SI had two birthdays before Larry got that count in.” Really Don? It literally took over TWO YEARS for that count? What calendar do you GO by? Raven is getting pissed and he lets Zbyszko know it. He sets up the table AND the ladder! Raven climbs the ladder and pulls Waltman up with him! I smell a finish coming up. Raven wants to RAVEN EFFECT Waltman off the ladder, but Zbyszko yanks on Raven’s foot. Waltman counters with an X-FACTOR OFF THE LADDER tna final resolution THE TABLE! Waltman covers Raven and gets three even though Raven had his foot on the rope after two. (8:10) Post-match, Raven still has his foot on the rope while Waltman and Zbyszko celebrate. Even Jeremy F’N Borash shows Larry that Raven’s foot is clearly on the bottom rope, but Zbyszko stands by his decision. Raven must now leave TNA and the crowd boos this like crazy. Zbyszko tells Raven that he looks like he died. Haha, one of the security guys pats on the ring to try and get Raven out of the ring as if he were a house pet or something. The crowd chant for â€SRaven” and he looks to be exiting the ring until CASSIDY RILEY comes down. He yells at Zbyszko, but Raven tells him to stop and then Raven leaves quietly with tna final resolution security guys. Haha, Don West tries to give Raven a pat on the back on his way out, but Raven reverses THAT and West has to REACCCCHH out to touch Raven. Don West does not matter to Raven. I love it. Oh yeah, and Cassidy stands in the ring in disbelief. RAVEN GOT ROBBED! ** ÂĽ

Douglas is in the back with Ron â€SDA TRUF” Killings and he mentions how Killings is now all on his own with no back-up. So what? Not every wrestler has back-up, Shane.

They follow that up with a nice little roll-up sequence to a hand clap and praise from the crowd. Roode gives the universal â€SUP YOURS!” signal and walks out of the ring and up the ramp. D’Amore grabs him by the arm and tells him to get back in the ring! Truth takes advantage of the situation by delivering a plancha out onto Roode. Truth punishes Roode with a series of rights before turning his back on him to chase off D’Amore. Truth turns around and gets lifted in the air and driven spine-first into the steel ringpost. Roode gets back in the ring so D’Amore can kick on Killings before sending him back into the ring. Roode covers and gets two.

(15:08) happy new year myspace comments looked good and all, but tna final resolution doesn’t mean this wasn’t an overbooked mess just like tna final resolution TNA PPV main event. Can we not EVER have a clean finish? **

Final Thoughts: The good should’ve been longer and the bad should’ve been shorter. Nothing really stands out because nothing good was given enough time to matter. There was only two to three tna final resolution finishes (considering if you call the Joe/Daniels match a clean finish) on a nine-match PPV. That’s horrible. Unless you’re a Sting fan, feel free to skip this one.
