Mickie and Gail's segment and the match between Aries and Roode were the highlights of Impact for me, I am really curious as to what this losing streak is going to mean for Roode as I imagine there must be a pay-off.
The triple threat matches to decide who goes into the X Division title Ultimate X match were just not my type of thing, way too choreographed, and I honestly don't see the point in starting off a new era of the title with any of the the 3 guys that made it to the match, none of them have anything that makes them stand out.
The whole MEM vs Aces & Eights stuff just reeks of Russorific booking, garbage warfare at it's worst, not to mentioned how totally outclassed Aces & Eights look when you look at the members of the two factions, it's like the NWO vs the BWO.
The build up to Sabin vs Bully throughout the night was well done, it laid out Sabin's story well and I liked the backstage segment with him and Aries. However the match was a mess and it wasn't a glorious moment for the guy with the sob story, it was a mid card guy being used as a pawn in the Aces & Eights vs MEM angle, his win was about the MEM getting one over on the heels, not about crowning a new top star.
BIG TIME at the TNA marks that are defending the decision. I really like Sabin, but the way they built him up these past few weeks proved he was not ready. Basically, a fluke champion.
Really good match nonetheless.
