Good X-Division match here with three similar talents in the ring. They all posses that Indy wrestling feel to it, but are adapting to how to work a televised match. It cannot be spot after spot after spot. The pace and the speed of the match was really good. People always ask me about Trevor Lee and if he can be something special. I think he can, but not in TNA. The guy has uncanny abilities. Keep in mind that he is only 22 years old. Sing it, T-Swift.

There is No Revolution Here

The Dollhouse and The Beautiful People get involved in a Handicap Match on Impact Wrestling. It is just me or does this seem SO forced to portray what WWE is trying to do? These women are talented, but this storyline is scrapped together and forced. I would rather see the focus be on the CHAMPION. WWE is utilizing both storylines, using the core of new women AND keeping the focus on the championship.
