Pre-Show PPV Tweets

-- Up first is Amazing Red vs. Kiyoshi on the pre show.

-- Red wins with the red star press. Good for a free pre-show match.

Live PPV Tweets

-- Little know fact: Sting's car is worth more than the combined salaries of the entire X Division

-- Opening match is the MCMG & Sheiky Bashir vs. Eric Young & Jay Lethal & Consequences Creed.

-- Lethal's old school macho man trunks are sweet.

-- Good high energy action so far.

-- Match climaxed, peaked, and is still going.

-- Lethal pins Bashir after ref kicks his hands off the ropes. Young looks mad about how they won. Solid opener, but a bit overkill at the end.

-- Up next is Monster's Ball Women's match - Daffney vs. Taylor Wilde.

-- Little known fact: Daffney stole Derek Burgan's hat.

-- Wow, Wilde vs. Daffney was disappointing and short. Maybe go to *. Dr. Stevie helps conduct Daffney's post-match attack with tacks.

-- Abyss and Lauren get involved, but Abyss turns on Stevie and slams him in the tacks.

-- TNA has some nice graphics going tonight. I wish WWE would step up their game in that department for PPVs.

-- Daniels vs. Suicide seems like a classic old-school angle and it's up next.

-- Don West just said man walking on the moon was a conspiracy.

-- Wrestling in that Suicide costume must be really uncomfortable. Yikes!

-- Crowd is dead for Suicide-Daniels. Don't get it because it has been good so far.

-- Don West is gold on commentary with his Suicide/Daniels conspiracy theory commentary while taking cheap shots at Tenay.

-- Lame finish with MCMG interference, but action was solid. **1/2

-- Wait... Daniels wants five more minutes to do it the right way!

-- Five-minute OT expires, but Suicide retains. With the OT, I can move this up to **3/4. OT was good but needed more drama.

-- Next up is TNA KO champ Angelina Love vs. Awesome Kong.

-- West is saying Love is wearing down Kong by letting her beat her up. I love heel Don West.

-- Love wins after Kong accidentally runs into Saeed on the apron and she sprayed her in the eyes. Kong gets her heat back after the match. **

-- I think TNA and ROH are having a contest to see who can book the highest amount of fluke finishes on one show.

-- Sting sporting a nice purple robe tonight. Did he get an honorary degree from some college or university earlier today?

-- Why order the TNA PPVs when all the good stuff will happen for free on Impact? Thanks for the tip, JB!

-- Joe vs. Nash is up next.

-- Chris Farley: Hey, Joe, remember when you started in TNA? Joe: Yeah. Farley: You were awesome then.

-- Crowd is getting into Joe vs. Nash. Nash is bleeding a lot from his forehead.

-- Wow, Nash taps out without much of a fight. Nice win for Joe, who came off well here. Match was solid. **1/4

-- Joe snapped after the match and attacked Nash and KO'ed the ref. This was a step forward for Joe's new character.

-- Team 3D tag invitational finals are up next. Bubba and D-Von look like tourists coming out. Beer Money vs. British Invasion. I hope this is good.

-- Roode looks like a Jr. Steve Austin on his scooter coming out.

-- I love the outfits worn by the British Invasion. Reminds me of the Bulldogs.

-- Beer Money is so great. That was a fantastic skin the cat spot with Roode giving Storm beer.

-- That was fantastic. Roode pins Williams after a shot with the Feast or Fired briefcase. Best match of the PPV so far ***1/4

-- WTF, no trophy presentation and cut straight to a video package. Damn - Faarooq. Why does all the good stuff happen on Impact!

-- They are doing a good job of hyping the main event with different video packages for each participant.

-- I Quit match with Booker T vs. A.J. Styles is up next. Back to back good matches would be nice!

-- Nice pop for Styles coming out.

-- Good start to Booker vs. Styles. Both guys are picking each other apart and the match is building nicely.

-- Wow. Lame finish with Jenna throwing in the towel for Booker. **3/4. Seemed like one half of a really good match before it just ended.

-- Main event of Foley vs. Sting vs. Jarrett vs. Angle is next. Angle is smelling flowers coming to the ring.

-- None of the four participants got much of a pop when the formal introductions were made.

-- Jarrett and Angle are in the ring with Sting and Foley paired together on the outside. Its like two different matches are going on at once!

-- Foley is doing commentary! Foley said he can't lose his title sitting in on commentary.

-- Angle just did a flip dive over the announce table onto Foley on the outside. That was nuts!

-- Ref bump! Wow, this is a heck of a main event so far! Sting gets pin on Angle after Jarrett hits top rope stroke. Really good main event. ***3/4

-- Sting is the new leader of the Main Event Mafia.
