The Undercard
Gail Kim and Brooke Tessmacher defeated ODB and Velvet Sky. My first problem is this: Sky's boyfriend is a heel on camera. Why is she being booked as a face? Illogical. Anyways, the match seemed a little sloppy from the very beginning. I am not sure what TNA wanted to do with all pieces involved. It seems like they are trying to build Kim up and build up Tapa at the same time. It seems a little thrown together. This tag team match really did not do anything for me. I really enjoy the Knockouts Division and feel they are one of the most consistent and entertaining parts each week. Kim picks up the victory when she gets help from her muscle. Kim is a great wrestler, but that is about it. We need to see more of her personality shine if she is going to be the champion.
Grade: C-
Ethan Carter III defeated Dewey Barnes. Carter, the cousin of Dixie, comes out to a great entrance that is unique and a sight for eyes. I really think there could be long term success for Carter, if TNA can stay afloat. He has a great look, the size combined with speed, and the intelligence in his young character. For the love of God please do not let him wrestle jobbers and ALMOST lose at times. He needs to mow through the guys until one steps up. Who should step up? How about James Storm? How about Jeff Hardy?
