Trick Williams is interviewed with his lawyer. Trick says TNA should thank him for all he has done. He says he wears his title upside down as he turned the company upside down. He talks about all the people who don't like him. He says TNA doesn't belong to the man with the best story but the man who is best for business and he says he is best for business.

I will not be watching the intergender Call Your Shot gauntlet. They had a stupid finish with Kaz and Nemeth both winning when they went out at the same time. The crowd chanted, "bullsh!t" at that.

Thoughts: LOLTNA. I was surprised Indi lost here. Her family flew 21 hours or so just to see her lose. Indi didn't lose by cheating or anything either, she just lost clean. It wasn't good but there weren't any real bad botches. 

The Nemeth's talk in the back. Nic is mad he has to share the Call Your Shot trophy. Kaz comes in and says he's the only guy to win this in back to back years. Nic says he's not sharing the spotlight with someone who has never been champ. Kaz says maybe he'll become champ later tonight.

Thoughts: It didn't go quite as long as I expected and it was mostly just hardcore spots here. I was hoping for a bit more drama. The high spot here was Alisha being dropped into the tacks. Zero thankfully had the brains to go after the weakest link in this. John Skyler did a big blade job here and his chest and gut got covered in blood. The match was good but it could have been a classic.

Thoughts: LOLTNA. This is why this promotion nearly died to the point that they had to enlist WWE's help. This promotion just cannot help itself in screwing up. Things were going really well here. They were living up to every expectation and truly having a high flying dream match. And then TNA/WWE put the kibosh on it. They really blew this one and stuff like this is what kills the town. This was easily one of the worst moments of the year

Thoughts: The finish was weird here with Bubba basically letting The Hardy's win. I guess the idea was Bubba knew he was done and wanted to get it over with but it was odd. I liked the match. They worked well within their limits and the weapons helped hide their weaknesses. It was nice to see them do their trademark spots one last time against each other. I thought it was good overall.

The Hardy's help Team 3D up after then group hug. The Hardy's go to leave and Team 3D stops them. Team 3D takes their boots off and gives them to The Hardy's to signify they are done as a team. They all then hug in a nice moment. They all raise each other's hands.

Thoughts: Mike got the win as expected. They tried and Trick did more than usual but I didn't think it was great. It was fine though. Mike bled a lot here. I can't say I'm looking forward to Mike's reign and outside of Nemeth, I don't even know who he really has available for opponents.

Kaz is in the ring and wants to cash his shot in. Mike spinning lariats him. Mike then celebrates and hugs his daughter in the ring. Mike hands his daughter the title.

Overall thoughts: It was a long show at 4 hours. Kaz/Maclin wasn't anything special. Tessa/Gia wasn't good as expected. Indi flew her family in to lose to a makeshift champ. The hardcore war was good but could have been great with more time. I didn't watch the Call Your Shot gauntlet but having two winners for it was stupid. Leon/Evans was on it's way to being a classic then we had an LOLTNA moment with the time expiring then DarkState interfering to end the match. The Dudleys/Hardy's worked out well though the finish was a little weird. Mike Santana won the title in the main as expected. Joe Hendry didn't even wrestle on the show. It was okay enough but not great. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as some of the undercard wasn't that good and Evans/Slater not having a finish was a classic awful TNA moment that may have been the worst moment of the year so far. I liked it overall but I think this could have been a great show with some adjustments.
