This is basically the Hardcore Justice pay per view that was originally going to happen on PPV, but they switched it to be an ECW reunion.

Styles springboards into the ring to hit a reverse DDT for a near fall. Angle hits the Angle Slam for a near fall. Angle blocks a low blow attempt and locks in the ankle lock to force a submission for the win. (***. A solid match between these two as expected. Angle’s current story makes it obvious he’s going to win every match. However, they had a good pace here and held my interest to start the show.)

Second Contest: TNA Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love: Rayne cheap shots Love after hiding behind the referee. Love counters a clothesline and boots Rayne in the corner. Rayne yanks Love to the mat over the middle rope and slams the back of Love’s head onto the mat leading to a one count. Rayne knee strikes Love followed by swinging neckbreaker.

Rayne hit Love from behind, but only managed a two count. The biker has a mask on and prevents it being removed with a kick and runs away. Love plants Rayne with a jumping flatliner for the win and new champion. (*. The match wasn’t all that great, but the angle advancement was fine.)

Morgan is backed into a corner and Dinero delivers a series of strikes. Anderson dropkicks Morgan on the knee and Dinero hits an STO for a two count as Anderson pulls Dinero off.

Morgan is sitting on the floor clapping. Dinero throat thrusts Anderson. Anderson avoids a double knee and hits the Mic Check on Dinero. Morgan gets back in and kicks Anderson. Morgan covers Dinero to win the match. (*. I didn’t have much interest in this match. Anderson is enjoyable, but Morgan and Dinero are kind of boring me at this point.)

Shannon Moore answers the open challenge and says that no matter what he and Jeff Hardy will leave the match as brothers.

Fourth Contest: Jeff Hardy vs. Shannon Moore in an open challenge match: Moore gets control on Hardy with a wrist lock.

Moore crotches Hardy on the top rope and delivers a few more right hands. Hardy avoids a hurricanrana and manages to hit the Swanton Bomb for the win. (**1/2. Hardy gave a lot here to Moore, something that shouldn’t surprise me since they are good friends. Moore did a good job with his moments to shine. There was never a doubt as to who was going to win here, though. Moore being the guy to answer the open challenge was underwhelming.)

Fifth Contest: TNA Tag Team Champions Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley vs. Robert Roode & James Storm in a best two out of three falls match: Storm and Sabin kickoff the title match. Storm eye rakes Sabin and gets wrist control. Sabin pops up, but Storm shoulder blocks Sabin. They trade a couple of pin attempts.

The Guns hit the splash/neckbreaker again and pin Storm to retain the titles. (****. Fantastic stuff. It was obvious at the opening bell that the crowd was invested in this feud and match. That was a great match and an excellent way to conclude the best of five series.)

I was surprised that Bischoff literally did nothing other than counting the pin. I was not expecting that. It’s a good hardcore match with both men taking some big spots. A clean conclusion to the feud is a major plus, too.)

Hulk Hogan comes out and says everyone knows why RVD is their leader. Hogan puts over RVD and says he’s taking the company to the top.

Backstage, RVD is laid out in a massive pool of blood. Abyss is standing over RVD with Janice.

Ric Flair is yelling at Dixie Carter telling her this is her fault.

Final Thoughts:
It’s a really good show with a lot of quality wrestling and the flow of the show being a breeze. I prefer TNA shows when they focus in wrestling and keep the promos limited. The closing segment was done really well and I have interest in the Fortune/EV 2.0 angle. The RVD/Abyss post match is a little silly since RVD would likely be dead if he lost all that blood. Regardless, this was a good show.

Thanks for reading.
