STRESS TEST:
PASSED
NYC: GOLD RUSH
TNA IMPACT passed the stress test with flying colors this week.
How good has TNA been these past few weeks: Awesome. The TNA shows have been better than what WWE has produced for the last month.
TNA wraps up its final night in New York and the Manhattan Center by holding the New York City Gold Rush.
The Gold Rush consists of ten men in five matches. The winners of those five matches go on to compete in a five-man match. The winner of that match gets a title shot for the championship of his choice.
At first, I was confused; I thought the five men they promoted were in the five-man match. They were MVP, Magnus, Robbie E, Abyss and Austin Aries. I also thought the winner received a World Title Match.
However, that was quickly cleared up when the first match, MVP versus Low Ki, tool place. Tenay and Taz explained that the five announced competitors wouldn’t know whom they were facing in their matches, but they had to win to go on to the five-man match.
Even though I like Robbie E, I found it odd they promoted him as s Marque player in the Gold Rush, considering there were bigger names involved.
I also like the fact that two of the promoted competitors, Magnus and Robbie E, lost their matches and didn’t even make it to the main event. That was a good move as it shows anything can happen.
The Main Event match up ended up being Abyss versus Anderson versus Aries versus MVP versus Tajiri. Aries came out on top, stacking up and pinning MVP!
Austin Aries is the best wrestler on the planet today. The sooner they get the World Title on him the better. I wouldn’t understand it if they had him challenge for anything other than the World Title.
I was hoping MVP would win, so we could see MVP turn on Lashley for the title.
HIGH POINTS: THE ENTIRE SHOW
LOW POINTS: No Bobby Rood.
FINAL THOUGHTS: TNA is delivering big time right now. But I still have my concerns I voiced last week, will this level of quality continue in Bethlehem, PA?
The best part of the entire show? No outside interference or screwy finishes. Yes, Tajiri used the mist twice and Shaw used a chair (and still lost), but that was it. For the most part, everything was clean.
Right now, TNA is schooling the WWE.
MATCH OF THE NIGHT: MVP versus Low KI
IMPACT OF THE NIGHT: TNA IMPACT itself.
WRESTLER OF THE NIGHT: Austin Aries. He won his match. He won the five-man match. He can know challenge for a Championship of his choice.
