Who's staying up for Genesis?

I'm going to fan interaction at Nottingham followed by the show in the evening

Really good PPV, solid card, Monsters Ball match was one of the best Hardcore matches I have seen in years. Title match was a bit of a let-down, but hopefully the feud can continue. My fave match of the night was the knockouts match, though i'd actually like to see a clean win from Gail there were some great spots.

A minor query, after Genesis and for that matter all the PPV's is the Top Ten Movie show, is this only on after PPV's or is on every week at some unspecified time.

As for Genesis I loved how Madison R still managed to cheat from her rather scary lofty perch in the sky. Also the increasingly dirty ways Booby Roode was trying to get DQ'd so he could save his title finally a direct attack on the referee in deperation heh.

Really enjoyed Genesis.

Highlights were definitely the Monsters Ball and X-Division matches. Lolled at Bully Ray getting the cheesegrater to the balls. Jesse Sorenson has really improved his in-ring work, fantastic performance; just needs to work on his overall look, mic work and performance.

Thought the main event had a sensible ending, right thing to keep the belt on Roode for a little bit longer and make Hardy work for it.

Knockouts ending was stupid, so was Pope/Devon.

The Monsters ball match was brutal even the referee was bleeding at the end, but then it was silly of him to hit the floor to call a fall where there was a load of tacks, thats bound to hurt.

Bet Zima Ion's chest hurt something awful the morning after the match it was red raw by the end from people slapping it.

Monsters Ball was great although it was a bit overbooked at times. When it comes to hardcore matches, less is more - that match had so many spots and kickouts it became a bit silly near the end.

A fantastic match though. My favourite bit was actually when Bully Ray beat Abyss for about a minute with the kendo stick, each shot a properly brutal one. You don't often see that sort of slow, methodical violence - you could tell by the end of that attack it was starting to effect the crowd, like they were feeling every shot themselves and begging Bully to stop. Fantastic work by Bully Ray, really one of the best in the business this year.

is genesis repeated on challenge?

Nope; strange decision that they don't, seeing as it's on so late. Even starting it an hour earlier would be a good idea.

Whole PPV is on dailymotion.com though.

Who realistically is going to be able to take the tag titles of Crimson & Morgan with a clean win?

I actually think it could/should be Joe & Magnus - I'm quite buying into them as a team.

Flair has said he'll be onstage at the WWE hall of fame, it's unclear if he'll be done with TNA by that point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3d8vJ3KCAk


Wooooooooooooooooooo

If they put content that was at bbfc 18 rated level on at 9pm they'd risk complaints going in to ofcom, which maybe upheld. Four of the TNA ppv dvd releases in the last year were bbfc 18.

I enjoyed the PPV for what it was. Trouble for me was that i had little to no interest in quite a few matches. I still won't watch any match involving Matt Morgan on principle either

X Division match was great and Gail/Mickie was great as usual, save for the ending.

The Monsters Ball match was very good indeed - quite hard to do a decent hardcore match nowadays I think but they managed it.

What's the principle with Matt Morgan if you don't mind me asking?

I watched a match with him some time ago which was just bottom of the barrel abysmal. He was looking nervously at everyone involved waiting for his cues to do his spots. There was one point where stood by the ring desperately trying to sell that he was 'hurt', but he just looked like he was slightly constipated

When he saw his cue he then suddenly jumped back into life and did what he had to do.

From that day to this I vowed never to watch another match involving him ..

haha - that's fair enough

well hes good now so bit weird you refuse to watch

i know star ratings matter to alot of itnernet fans but......... wow

I'm not an "internet fan" or "smark" as they like to call themselves. Yes, i've been a fan of wrestling for over 25 years and i've seen pretty much everyone take on everyone else and i'm also aware of how 'the business' works, but i'm certainly not one of the self-appointed "internet wrestling community" who see their sole purpose as belittling and complaining about anything and everything that the WWE and, especially, TNA do.

I don't care if Matt Morgan is good now, there's more chance of me pinning Austin Aries for the X-Division title after a 450 splash from the top rope than there is of me ever watching another Matt Morgan match.

I find Morgan grossly overhyped. Yes, he has a great look, but his in-ring work is clumsy, his pyschology is non-existent and his mic work is average.

Him and Crimson go well together based on all that.

ooeerr .. i've just blagged a free ticket to the TNA tapings in London ..

Not sure i can go though and the T's & C's are pretty tight so don't think I could sell it on .. which is a pain as I could do with the money !

Hulkamania coming to UK, i expect just London exclusively.

Luckkkkkky.

bloody hell, i really don't want to go to london now

Ahhh now come on! If you've been a wrestling fan for 25 years then a some point you must have liked the Hulkster, even if he is an egomaniacal shadow of his former self today!

Actually, scratch that last comment. I can rembember being 8 years old and thinking he sucked! I was so happy when the undertaker first turned up and kicked his ass....

Grr this injury that is keeping Chris Sabin out is annoying me. He has been out so long, and i miss his awesomeness. The Machine Guns are just the bestest and not too mention Sabin's absence is really screwing Shelley over. Hopefully he isn't too far off and they can return and end this whole big powerful big giant big nasty big galute tag team championship reign.

Any news on Sabin?

When I watched my first ever PPV, which was Wrestlemania 4, I probably got caught up in his whole 'superhero' persona and enjoyed the cartoonish aspect of his character, but then I think i very quickly found myself preferring the likes of Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Hart, Flair e.t.c...
