Last week, Trent Seven, Hammerstone and Jake Something sent a violent message to TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys and Ace Austin – now, they face off in a huge six-man tag team main event! Seven, Something and Hammerstone cut off the ring and begin to wear Austin down. Seven whips him into the corner but Austin creates a window of opportunity as he dropkicks Something and Hammerstone off the apron. Just when Austin is about to make the tag, Something and Hammerstone pull The Hardys off the apron. Seven hits Austin with the Seven Star Lariat for a very close near fall. Austin finally makes the tag to Jeff and the pace begins to quicken. Austin joins The Hardys for three Twists of Fate on their opponents. Jeff hits the Swanton on Seven but Something and Hammerstone pull Austin off the pin. Seven goes low on Austin, then puts him away with the Burning Hammer.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5
Final Verdict: 3.5/5
Another good show this week, and like last week’s TNA, this was an improvement over the few weeks that had come before. Although I can’t help but feel some of the excitement of TNA has gone – some of the matches, while good examples of wrestling, don’t feel as energetic and “must-see” as they were only a few months ago. Maybe it’s overall wrestling fatigue, maybe it’s because the feuds seem like repetition. I don’t know. I just know I’m not as excited for TNA as I once was… Still, I’m sticking around, I’m watching the product. Fingers crossed I feel that lighting strike once more like ti did just prior to the name change!
