PPV-PRE-SHOW STARTS NOW!

Borash starts off the show by hyping Sting’s return and the rest of the card. Shane Douglas joins him in the back. Cage is with him and he wants to know what he feels about tonight’s match. He says it sounds like the peeps are live tonight baby. He knows all about major acquisitions. No one is more excited than him that Sting is here. Sting has ran into the same trouble he has, JJ and Monty Brown. Cage says they are afraid of losing their spots, and they better be.

Shane Douglas is with Cage. Cage has a question. Does he look like a man he can’t trust? Ask his brother, ask Jericho. Actually, that’s a bad idea. Ask all of the Christian Coalition if they can trust him. Trust me Sting, I am excited that you are my partner and are here in TNA. We agree with everyone that we can’t stand JJ. Trust this, JJ, no matter what Sting shows up, somewhere down the line, this midcard comedy act will save the TNA fans and win the NWA title from you.

Winners: Christian Cage and Sting @ 14:40 via pin ***

Cage and Sting hug and celebrate. Cage leaves the ring so Sting can have a moment.

The 411: There was a lot of good story stuff on this PPV, as well as "good" matches. When I say good, I mean that they were ok and I didn't feel ripped off. Sting's debut came off as a hue deal and Joe vs. Daniels rocked. But there were too many shit finishes on the show, and the overall quality was down from other shows. I have to go thumbs in the middle for this show. There was some solid stuff, but not enough to tell you to spend money on the show. Check out Joe vs. Daniels if you can, and maybe Sting's match to check him out, as well as the crowd reactions he got.
Final Score: 6.0 [ Average ]
