very well built ppv.
some great matches in it. nothing mindblowingly awesome, but had some great stuff.

actually correction - rvd vs. rvd was pretty mindblowingly awesome. the actual match not so much but that plot.

Best PPV ofthe year so far. I was saying this in the chat but I NEEDED that PPV. WWE has been wearing me down and crushing my wrestling fandom for awhile so it was great to have TNA buoy me like that. Not a single match on the card that I wasnt into.

The only problem with the card was match order- Hardy/Anderson and Angle/Styles shouldve been swapped and I cant help but wonder if RVD match was a botchfest or if it was meant to be that way.

Also Bobby Roode needs to merely survive Impact to be the longest reigning TNA champion (presumably post NWA split)

Correct.

2nd-longest reigning World Champion in TNA history overall. Only one reign in TNA with the NWA World Title was longer.

And about Sacrifice:

There was no Hogan.

There was no Bischoff.

There was no Bischoff Jr.

There was just a bunch of great wrestlers (and Crimson and Rob Terry) going out there and putting on wrestling matches that were all given proper time and minimal creative interference.

For a company that says "Wrestling Matters," this is the first time since Destination X last year that they've proven it. Bravo.

Robbie E "great wrestler" I approve.

No seriously I think it pretty much directly lines up. If TNA just restrains their crap the talent can't help but shine. It's no coincidence that their best Impacts of the year were from Europe where Hogan, Garrett Bischoff, Eric Young, and ODB didn't bother to go.

TNA truly is a case of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch now more than ever. It's pretty ridiculous.

Interesting question based on some sentiment I've seen out there:

Austin Aries, X-Division Champion. Is he elevating the title and thus the division, or is the belt weighing him down and holding him back?

I guess the answer is kinda obvious in that by making him a main eventer, they've practically killed off the division in a way. He did that token defense against Zema Ion last week, but other than that has there actually been an X-Division match period on TV or PPV since the day Bully Ray intervened and inadvertently turned Aries face?

--

I don't know if the belt is actually weighing him down, but he's not helping the division any.

If he was elevating the division, then the other X guys like Zema wouldn't be such an afterthought.

Yeah the real trouble with Aries holding the title is that no one else in the X division is on his level at all. He has no one he can reasonably lose the belt to.

Like at this point it is MORE plausible that he would go over Roode to win the TNA title and then vacate the X division title thn for him to lose a fluke match to say Zema Ion.

Dude needs to open the belt up to challengers of all weights again. That'd expand his pool of contenders a lot and I think it'd make the belt look better too.

X-Division totally worked as a non cruiser belt-- just a "high action" belt. Guys like Abyss worked fine in there.

In a confusing bout of "Does WWE consider its brand split dead or not", WWE.com has a poll up where you can vote for the franchise player of each brand.

Currently, it looks like this:

RAW

52% John Cena
40% CM Punk
4% Chris Jericho
3% Dolph Ziggler
2% Lord Tensai

SMACKDOWN

62% Randy Orton
14% Daniel Bryan
14% Sheamus
6% Cody Rhodes
4% Big Show

Of course, the advertisement for the poll also has pictures of only John Cena and Randy Orton on it too.

I don't even know how you can vote for Chris Jericho as the franchise player of Raw when he's competing on SmackDown and challenging for the SmackDown world title.

Interesting that Cody Rhodes is beating Big Show, but I feel like at least part of that is most Big Show fans picking Randy Orton.
