My TNA Catch-up, Turning Point PPV Nov 09

X Division Championship, Homicide vs Amazing Red - This was an excellent match where both guys had a decent amount of time on top, I think Red winded Homicide when he landed the Standing Shooting Star Press. Red really sold well when he did the Reverse Moonsault that Homicide turned into a Gringo Cutter but Amazing Red took the win off the Code Red to retain his title.

6 Woman Tag Match, The Beautiful People vs Sarita, Taylor Wilde & ODB - All the TNA womens belts are on the line in this match, if ODB gets pinned she loses the Knockout title & if either Taylor or Sarita get pinned they lose the Knockout Tag titles. Fans certainly hate Lacey Von Erich as they were giving her a "you can't wrestle" chant on her 1st legal entry to the match, obviously the match broke down with everyone in the ring but ODB used her power to make the pin off Madison Rayne so all the faces retain their titles.

Tag Team Championship Match, Beer Money vs The Motor City Machine Guns vs The British Invasion - Quite frankly this match had zero spots & was going nowhere fast hence Russo sending Eric Young out to interfere which didn't really help the match in any way but Brutus Magnus took the win off Robert Roode to retain the title for his team.

6 Sides Of Steel Grudge Match, Tara vs Awesome Kong - This match always looked like it was just going to be a scrap, it went back & forth but Tara made a nice Powerbomb then climbed the top of the cage and hit the Thesz Press (which Tenay miscalled as a Crossbody Block) to take the eventual win.

6 Man Tag Match, Rhino & Team 3D vs D'Angelo Dinero, Hernandez & Matt Morgan - In case you all missed the "tell" yet again, Dinero came out of the heel entrance which was further reinforced by him distracting Hernandez in the opening minute. This was always the case of when Dinero was going to betray or turn on his own team, this one also broke down into everyone in the ring as well but Dinero was noticable in his absence for the face team just to prove my point of prediction even further. Morgan took a bad landing when Rhino tossed him over the top rope hurting his knee, Ray distracted the ref allowing Devon to nail Hernandez with the chair so Rhino could take the easy win off a Gore. It seems Dineros betrayal was clearly too predictable so they decided against it?

Falls Count Anywhere No DQ Match, Scott Steiner vs Bobby Lashley - P**s poor quality match where Steiner took all the knocks and got busted open but took the win after nailing Lashley with a steel pipe he took from the stand behind the Spanish announce desk.

Grudge Match, Desmond Wolfe vs Kurt Angle - This was too slow & far too boring, sadly all complaints I'd made about Nigel McGuiness in his past in ROH which he doesn't seem to have learnt from. All this slow mat c**p & technical wrestling might be over with the Japs but it has no place in modern sports entertainment, Kurt Angle took the eventual win off a submission when Wolfe tapped out. Now THAT is a s**t finish, I wouldn't have given this away for free on Youtube, let alone Impact or a PPV.

3 Way World Heavyweight Championship, Daniels Vs Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles - Extremely boring until about the last 10 minutes, Styles took the win off the Springboard 450 Splash on Joe to retain his title.
