Joe cutters Kaz. Kaz goes for the tag and Page refuses it. Eli tombstones Kaz and pins him.

Thoughts: I was surprised the heel didn't work on Joe's arm/shoulder more since it was injured and since he sold it the whole time. The crowd liked the match but I just thought it was average. 

Overall thoughts: As often is the case with TNA, there was nothing really bad or really good. The stuff at the Hardy Compound was all supernatural magic stuff like it was last time but it is something different atleast. The main was average as expected and the heels should have worked Joe's arm more. I wouldn't say I had a favorite match of the night here. I'd give this one as 6 out of 10 and really only think the Hardy stuff might be worth seeing if you want to see something different. I do think they did a good job building up the PPV card for this weekend and that's impressive since they had a PLE last weekend.
