Thoughts: I have no idea what this was about. I didn't like Steph essentially blaming this thing on PCO and Matt when she's PCO's wife and she should be take his side over others always. It also wouldn't be a TNA PPV without a wrestler substitution or a match cancellation and we never ended up getting this match.

Thoughts: I didn't really buy into the storyline of Jody and Masha being forced to break up. It would have helped if they weren't fighting a makeshift team and if there was more of a storyline to lead up to this. I didn't think the match was anything special. 

Alisha Edwards yells at Masha after. She points a finger at her then Tasha saves Alisha by hitting a cutter on Masha. Tasha then pounds on Masha and Alisha poses with Tasha.

Thoughts: It was a longer and slower match. The hot tag to Ace was not done well and the finish was not that exciting. It was just so-so for the most part as the faces never really got that big comeback in and the match never took off to another level.

Thoughts: I though they did too much here with various moves on the floor and the apron and the various people interfering didn't really add anything to this one. I don't really understand the point of Moose losing here. I wasn't a big fan of this match and didn't like it much.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer and slower show. I didn't like the show that much. We had the usual match substitutions and cancellations that TNA always has on PPV's. Nothing was that great with maybe Hendry/Alexander or the opener being the best matches on here. The main wasn't that good as they did too much and too many people interfered. The tag title match disappointed, the women's match wasn't good and Bailey/Wentz was indy crap. I wouldn't recommend this.
