More match exposition than usual but they're elimination matches so well, that's what we do.
TNA Final Resolution 2011
Showtime:
Orlando Jordan d. Voodoo Priest Hernandez (64)
The first elimination match. Styles, Sting, UMB, and Anderson vs The Pope, Devon, Jarrett, and Bully Ray. Styles and Jarrett start-- early in the match UltraMantis Black pops Styles from the apron and Jarrett rolls him into a Figure 4 Leglock. Sting immediately throws in the towel when it's locked in and Styles is eliminated. AJ argues with Sting and leaves in a huff. UMB is next in and quickly eliminates Jeff Jarrett with a Styles Clash. UMB's then cutoff from his team and worked over by Team 3D and Pope, with Pope finishing him. Anderson and Sting working better than expected as a team, take out the Pope and Devon, but Devon sticks around to hit Anderson with a 3D, leaving it Sting vs Bully Ray. Sting d. Bully Ray. (74)
Styles and Sting argue backstage. Sting says that AJ gets a title shot anyway when his team wins and that AJ couldn't afford to exert himself and have any chance of beating Kurt Angle as he's been pushing himself all month. AJ points out that Sting is the only guy left on the team and Sting admits that maybe he didn't think the plan all the way through... but if AJ doesn't ever lose the belt he has nothing to worry about and he should rest. AJ sighs. (84)
The second elimination match. RVD, Robbie E, Jeff Hardy, and Raven vs Kendrick, X-Pac, Senshi, and Glacier. RVD hits X-Pac with a standing sidekick into a 5* frog splash to eliminate him-- an incredulous Glacier hits RVD with the Cryonic Kick immediately after the cover and celebrates by performing a martial arts demo for the first row and gets counted out. Kendrick eliminates a still recovering RVD afterwards with Sliced Bread #2. Robbie E is next in but immediately tags out to Jeff Hardy and jumps off the apron, refusing to accept any tags, chatting with Stevie Ray about THE LIST rather than paying attention to the match. Raven and Jeff Hardy (and Robbie E) d. Kendrick and Senshi without further casualties, anyway. (70) RVD comes back into the ring and celebrates like he just won... which, he did, technically. (78)
Alex Shelley d. Bobby Roode (78) Winter d. Tara to retain (67) James Storm d. Chris Sabin (82)
