My TNA Turning Point 2012 Recap

Taz spoke about how proud he was of TNA's support for everyone suffering at the hands of Hurricane Sandy in New York and then introduced radio host 'Buckethead' (no idea who he is either) and Bully Ray. Buckethead urged all the fans to break a Guinness world record for the most simultaneous texts to donate for the  aforementioned cause. He actually did a good job getting the crowd going.

Samoa Joe (c) defeated Magnus to retain the TNA Television Title in a decent match up. Both men gave worthy efforts here, with Magnus giving one of his best (if not the best) displays to date as he went toe to toe with his opponent. There were just a few little moments here and there that spoilt the contest a bit for me, such as the referee not counting when Magnus grabbed the ropes during a submission, and also not disqualifying the challenger when he clearly threw a chair into Joe's head. There was no need for this. Otherwise it was enjoyable enough, but could've been better.

ODB and Eric Young beat Jesse and Tara in an average tag bout. For the most part it was a comedy match understandably, while the action itself was passable, but nothing special. This should lead on to ODB receiving a Knockouts Championship shot. 

Rob Van Dam (c) bested Joey Ryan to retain the X Division Championship in a fair outing. Ryan looked competent for the most part here, although he did mount up a few minor errors. Van Dam looked all right with his standard TNA performance. To be honest I was expecting Ryan to win here, not cleanly but possibly with aid from Matt Morgan at some point. The X Division strap should help enhance up and coming talent, not guys at RVD's level in my opinion. I expect Ryan will obtain it in the near future.  

Doc beat Joseph Parks in a fun at parts match up. While Parks is obviously meant to be constraint in his ring skills due to his attorney persona, he did a good job here anyway and has become one of the most endearing wrestlers in the company. They also planned the match out well and the sequencing made sense. There was a brief period where Parks also managed to tap into another side of himself (namely Abyss, which the goofy Taz accidentally called Parks during the bout) and Black Hole Smalled his foe. But it wasn't to be as Doc applied a Choke Slam later on for the one-two-three.

Afterwards Doc attempted to take out Parks, but Bully Ray came to his former rival's aid and lifted his arm.

Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez (c) defeated Christopher Daniels and Kazarian to retain the TNA Tag Team Titles in a solid contest. The first third was enjoyable but it was the rest of the match where the pace picked up and we got some great blistering and crisp wrestling. I was expecting a good title clash here but it exceeded my predictions, nice stuff.

James Storm bested AJ Styles and Bobby Roode in a terrific Triple Threat, and match of the night to earn a World Title match in the future. From start to finish all three men gave great efforts and clearly wanted to do everything they could to steal the show in this intense fight. The action came thick and fast and had its fair share of effective near falls too. Unfortunately for Styles as the man who was pinned he will not receive a World Championship opportunity until at least Bound for Glory next year. I still don't feel that this stipulation was necessary. 

Kurt Angle beat Devon in a match that ranged from decent to a bit drab. Unfortunately a few sloppy moments (which is very out of character for an Angle bout) and a bit of a dull start marred an otherwise fine match up. Don't worry if you miss it.

Jeff Hardy (c) defeated Austin Aries in a Ladder match to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. On the whole this heated match up was enjoyable, with impressive stunts and worthy displays from both men. There were a few sloppy moments and clear mistakes, but I could forgive them as it was a fun watch anyway. 

Overall Turning Point was a decent enough PPV, although not up to the standard of TNA's recent efforts. I didn't get the sense that any storylines or feuds made any real progression, or gained more interest. Without any titles changing hands you also couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But the Triple Threat, Tag Team Title and main event bouts were all worth a watch, and if an event has at least three solid match ups then I deem it a success. 

My Impact Wrestling, 8th November 2012 Recap

Bobby Roode defeated AJ Styles in a solid opener to the show. It was a worthy effort from both men as they went back and fourth, with crisp action for the most part. For the finish James Storm (who'd been on commentary) halted Roode form using a steel chair. This went unknown to AJ who warned Storm away and was then caught on the ropes by 'The It Factor' and pinned after landing awkwardly.  

During an announcement of matches booked for the night, there was an interruption with the transmission and a message saying 'An ancient evil awakens'. Hm, ominous.

Joseph Parks explained that his pursuit of a match with Aces & Eights wasn't just about revenge, but about "being a man." He went on to then plead with Hulk Hogan (who soon joined him in person) for that said match up. 'The Hulkster' told Parks that it would be too dangerous for him to confront the gang in a fight and tried to warn him off it. Bully Ray then also came out and convinced Hogan to give Joseph the fight at Turning Point after stating that he had the guts, heart and was a tough guy.

ODB bested Tara and Jesse in a passable Handicap match. It was a bit of a strange one this, I mean it does nothing for the Knockouts Champion at all and didn't seem that necessary for their feud. 

Sting and Kurt Angle won via disqualification versus Doc and Devon after Devon attacked both opposition with a baseball bat. The bout itself had been decent enough, with Angle giving a top performance. After the attack Bully raced out to attempt to put his brother through a table, but Devon managed to get away.

As 'The Stinger' managed to then fight back further members of Aces & 8s came out and Doc (short for 'Director of Chaos' we found out) Choke Slammed him through the table. But he wasn't done, as Doc would then start striking the fallen Sting with a hammer until members of the TNA roster came out to his aid. It was an effective ending and I liked the hammer attack, a bit different and grittier.   

After having two "Yes" votes Christian York was given a contract with TNA. He was understandably excited. I was quite surprised with this to be honest, he didn't really impress me that much last week. He looked competent but also a little slow and sloppy here and there, which isn't good for a wrestler of his experience. 

Magnus, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian beat Samoa Joe, Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez in an enjoyable enough tab contest. I feel bad complaining (bet you've never heard a wrestling fan say that before) but considering the calibre of talent involved I was expecting a bit more here, but it was a fun watch nonetheless. 

Austin Aries accused Jeff Hardy of choosing a Ladder match for their title bout on Sunday because he believes he can't beat him in another professional wrestling contest. he went on to also warn Hardy that he'll destroy him not only physically but mentally at Turning Point when he reclaims the World Title at his own game in a Ladder match. Jeff Hardy joined Aries once he called him out to collect his World Championship belt that he stole from him last week, under orders from GM Hogan. 

So Hardy took AA out and took back his strap, proudly placing them on a bar above a ladder placed in the ring. But Aries wasn't done as he pushed Hardy off of the ladder and trapped him under it as he then stepped up the future tool of their match up at Turning Point and mocked Hardy's signature hand gestures. It was a good end to the show, and a strong image to end on before the PPV.

Overall it was a decent Impact, with mostly solid matches and some nice progression in certain storylines heading into the pay-per-view. It wasn't one of the best recently but I can't complain, it was an enjoyable enough show. 

My Impact Wrestling, 1st November 2012 Recap

Joseph Parks explained that under the rules of Open Fight Night (where anyone can challenge anyone else to a match and they must accept) he found a loophole where he was allowed to compete and gain revenge on a member of Aces & 8s after they kidnapped him. Sure enough members of the gang came out, but as they attempted to take out Parks together Kurt Angle raced out and began attacking them.

Unfortunately the numbers were too much for Angle so Sting came to his aid. Oddly Parks just stood there as they took down Angle too, even though he was desperate to get his hands on them a moment ago. Sting then promised that one member of Aces & 8s would have their mask take off that night. 

Magnus challenged Samoa Joe to a Television Title match, claiming that Joe wasn't the right image to represent the strap.

Samoa Joe (c) won via disqualification versus Magnus, therefore retaining the TNA Television Championship. It was an enjoyable enough match up, with a blistering start by Joe. The DQ came after the challenger struck the champ with a wrench to cause the DQ. Understandably it wasn't allocated too much time as it was a stepping stone for their No DQ rematch for the title that Joe challenged Magnus to afterwards backstage. 

Christopher Daniels and Kazarian claimed that they were the uncrowned Tag Team Champions and announced a premature title victory at Turning Point against Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez. They also went on to challenge Spanish commentators Héctor Guerrero and Willie Urbina, using a few latino puns to goad them into the ring. But the match never happened as Daniels and Kaz just attacked both men until Chavo and Hernandez came to their aid and chased them off. Daniels and Kaz are on great form at the moment, both in the ring and on the mic. 

Zema Ion defeated Gut Check challenger Christian York in a mixed bag of a match. York looked decent here and there, but there were too many times where he also looked too slow for the moves he was attempting to pull off and it looked sluggish. Ion was on good form. I'm personally not worried it York gets a contract or not.

Backstage a brawl broke out briefly between Aces & 8s and members of the TNA roster. 'The Stinger' once again reiterated that one of them will be unmasked.

Jesse beat ODB after she'd challenged him to a match. It was a mediocre affair, which was to be expected. To be fair Jesse looked more competent in the ring than I'd expected and worked okay. He grabbed a quick roll up pin for the one-two-three after Tara distracted ODB at ringside. One plus was the crowd reaction, they were certainly behind ODB.

Jeff Hardy bested Robbie E in a decent contest. Both men gave worthy efforts here, and it was a fun watch while it lasted. Afterwards Austin Aries came out and complained that after all his hard work reaching the top Hardy ruined it when he beat him for the World Title. In response Hardy suggested that their rematch be a Ladder match as he brought one out from under the ring. AA didn't seem pleased with the choice.

We were shown footage from the opening of Hulk Hogan's new shop, when Matt Morgan turned up and stole a piece of memorabilia from the wall. Hogan rightfully stood there afraid of the huge guy threatening him, rather than foolishly take on a guy much younger and in better condition.

Bobby Roode complained that he was failed to be chosen or even a choice by Hogan to face Jeff Hardy for the title last week. AJ Styles then joined him and told Roode to stop complaining after having the longest TNA World Title reign in history. He also reminded us of his (horrible) storyline he had involving an alleged affair during Roode's title run, amusingly claiming that it seems to be the it thing at the moment with people called "AJ." Nice. He then went on to challenge 'The It Factor' to a match. Roode declined the offer, then cheap shotted AJ before he managed to make a comeback and chased Bobby out of the ring.

Hogan, accompanied by James Storm, then joined them both and booked Triple Threat involving them all at Turning Point. With the victor becoming the number one contender to the World Title, and whoever's pinned or submitted not receiving a title shot until Bound for Glory next year, which seemed like an unnecessary and silly stipulation. 

Matt Morgan, clad in the previously mentioned robe that he stole from Hogan, warned 'The Hulkster' and TNA management that he wasn't holding back and that he'd make history in said robe. It wasn't a bad promo. Joey Ryan, who'd accompanied him, then called out RVD for a match. 

Joey Ryan beat Rob Van Dam in an average and unmemorable contest. Neither man gave a particularly great display, and it just felt pretty uninspiring. For the finish RVD went for the Frog Splash but missed as Morgan pulled Ryan out of the way, Joey then ran in for a quick pin for the victory. The fans were not best pleased. Morgan then finished off Van Dam with a Carbon Footprint. 

Bully Ray called out Devon for a fight, but before that he wished all the best to everyone suffering in New York due to Hurricane Sandy. As the bout begun, other Aces & 8s members came out which once again began a brawl between them and members of the TNA roster. As the fight ensued Joseph Parks challenged a gang member to a fight in the ring, but was then beaten down and choke slammed through a table set up by Bully earlier. But before that the Aces & 8s member was revealed to be Luke Gallows. This wasn't really a shock as it'd been rumoured for months. Still good to have them unmasking though. 

Overall it was an okay show. No matches were really outstanding or up to the standard we've been expecting from Impact as of late. But at least the stories progressed decently and we had another reveal of an Aces & 8s member, not a shocking one but one at least. 

My Impact Wrestling, 25th October 2012 Recap

Hulk Hogan gave Jeff Hardy a speech in his office claiming that he'd "raised the bar" after obtaining the World Title at Bound for Glory, didn't he say the same thing to Aries when he won the title at Destination X? It certainly would've been more relevant then. We then heard an inner monologue from Hardy on each of the four possible men he could face for his championship next, it was a little different but I didn't mind it.

Rob Van Dam (c) defeated Zema Ion to retain the X Division Title. It was a fair match up. Ion looked decent and RVD as usual seemed to pull out his standard moves, which was fine. Nothing that special but watchable.

Afterwards Matt Morgan, accompanied by Joey Ryan, took out the champ with a clumsy Carbon Footprint. Morgan then warned Hogan that after wishing for a monster from him, he might just get it. Ryan meanwhile held the X Division strap in Van Dam's face, so I presume he's now next in line for a shot. I'm liking the more serious Morgan just taking out people, although once he steps back into the ring it'll be the same old bland wrestler I imagine. 

Kazarian complained about the unfair treatment him and Christopher Daniels had received from the GM Hogan, claiming that they'd lost the tag team titles "illegally" at BFG. Daniels then accused Dixie Carter of catering to the new title holders Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez to gain a larger latino audience, saying that they were typical looking Mexicans with their tattoos and poncho. He also amusingly suggested calling them "dos steriotypicos." It was a great promo from both members of one of the most solid overall tag teams going today.

Chavo and Hernandez then interrupted a petition Daniels and Kaz attempted to get going to gain them a rematch for the championship. Chavo stated that he and Hernandez would welcome a rematch anytime, anyplace, and they then chased the former title holders out of the ring and signed the petition themselves.

After Mr. Anderson was eliminated from a chance at the World Title by Hogan, Austin Aries was there waiting to berate the 'Asshole'. This of course led to a brief fight between the two, with AA eventually challenging Anderson to a match that night. Embarrassingly we then clearly heard the director shouting "Cut" at the end of the segment. Not particularly professional looking, eh?

We were then shown footage of Devon announcing to his fellow Aces & 8s members that they had to take out a random victim that night during the show. So they randomly picked by throwing a dart at a wall with photos of the roster, but we didn't see who their choice was.

Samoa Joe (c) beat Robbie T to retain the TNA Television Championship in a passable, if pretty average contest. The limited Robbie T did his usual move set, while Joe worked well with what he had, eventually locking on the Coquina Clutch after a few attempts to force Terry to tap. In an Undertaker-like fashion Joe rose up after being taken to the mat by Robbie to latch on the submission hold for a nice finish.

Austin Aries defeated Mr. Anderson in a worthy effort by both men. I wasn't expecting an awful lot here but it was quite enjoyable really, not the greatest match but fun enough to watch. The only thing that marred it was the strange ending. Aries would knock Anderson out with an illegal object, only to have Anderson then fall on top of him for a near count, then apply a submission hold when he was already clearly out. It just came across as a bit unnecessary. 

Tara (c) bested Brooke Tessmacher to retain the Knockouts Title in a passable bout.  The action was standard for the most part, but at least there was some heat to the match. Tara grabbed the win after her boyfriend Jesse caused Tessmacher to tumble from the ring and threw her back in to have a Widows Peak applied. Afterwards Brooke Hogan announced that at Open Fight Night next week ODB would be challenging Jesse. His reaction was pretty funny actually.

Bully Ray demanded that Devon come out and explain the real reason that he's joined up with Aces & 8s. So Devon came out and revealed that he joined the gang because they had his back after Hogan and Dixie Carter released him and never contacted him or made any effort to get him back like they had claimed to. He also warned Bully that Aces & 8s plan to get retribution against all of those in the company that have wronged them. 

Bully went on to reveal that after their retirement match last year, backstage Devon asked him why he was so worried "we're rich anyway" and that was why he'd turned on him. After Devon then backed out of a fight right there and then, Bully announced that next week he'd be taking him on in a fight, and also added that Devon has "no balls." The segment was okay, I was maybe expecting a bit more from their first encounter after Bound for Glory.

Hogan announced Kurt Angle as his pick over James Storm to face Hardy in the main event for the title. 'The Hulkster' also said to Storm that he didn't pick him because he had something else big planned for him. So why was he in the running at all if he had other plans for 'The Cowboy'? Where's the logic there?

Jeff Hardy (c) defeated Kurt Angle to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a tremendous main event match. Were you expecting anything less from it? Both men put in great efforts and didn't put a foot wrong. Solid stuff that's worth checking out. Afterwards Aries struck Hardy from behind with his title belt and announced that he would be invoking his rematch clause at Turning Point for the World Championship.  

We then went backstage to see Aces & 8s members attacking and taking out Angle. 

Overall it was a decent enough Impact, my only let down was the quality of most of the matches compared to recent weeks. Fortunately Aries versus Anderson, the entertaining promos from Kaz and Daniels and the brilliant main event helped save the broadcast. Also disappointed in the Bully Ray and Devon encounter, not that it was bad by any means but I was personally expecting more from it myself. 

My TNA Turning Point 2011 recap

Robbie E defeated Eric Young (c) to capture the Television title in a mostly average opener to the pay per view. Am I the only one that really misses the old serious persona of Eric Young? Surely not. The finish came when Robbie E’s bodyguard Rob Terry clotheslined EY’s legs at ringside causing him to land on his head. Terry then threw him back into the ring for Robbie E to get the pin and the championship for a pretty weak finish.

Mexican America (c) defeated Ink Inc to retain their tag team titles in a bout that started off fairly slow but began to pick up the pace a bit towards the end. I just keep seeing Mexican America as a much weaker LAX and I just can’t seem to really get behind them. It’s quite worrying that a company that used to have a thriving and stand out tag team division seems so much more watered down and weaker nowadays. Hell, they didn’t even get onto the main card at Bound for Glory. 

Austin Aries (c) defeated Jesse Sorensen and Kid Kash to retain his X Division title in a decent at parts triple threat bout. The obvious double teaming by Aries and Kash on Sorensen went on for too long for my liking and just got quite boring really. For me I believe that the charismatic and talented champ Aries deserves better opponents to take on then the rather dull Sorensen and cliche heel Kash. Although with Aries rolling up Kash for an unexpected (to Kid anyway) pinfall win it seems they’re going to be carrying this on for at least another month.

Rob Van Dam defeated Christopher Daniels in a pretty entertaining no disqualification match up. They kept the use of weapons to a minimun which definitely worked out for the best as it didn’t turn into a usual TNA stunt fest kind of no DQ bout. I think Daniels would’ve definitely had more to gain with a win here, but at least he’s getting regular PPV time like he deserves.

Crimson versus Matt Morgan ended in a double disqualification after both men pushed the referee as he attempted to stop them striking each other in the middle of the ring, is that suddenly illegal then? While the match was better then I’d anticipated, it wasn’t outstanding and the crowd never really got into it either. The weak finish didn’t really help either, they’d built up this match to have a definitive winner not a draw. The two carried on slugging it out until the security separated them. I can’t help but feel this is also pay per view time that would be better used on the much more talented Samoa Joe.

Abyss and Mr. Anderson defeated Bully Ray and Scott Steiner in a mediocre tag team bout. And just to prove how average it was, the biggest reaction from the audience was for Steiner (granted it was his home crowd but still). Abyss pinned Steiner after applying a Block Hole Slam. Afterwards Bully Ray and Steiner put the lump Abyss through a table, to which he completely no sold and immediately stood up straight after. Needless to say, Bully Ray and Steiner decided to make their exits. Unfortunately this renewed push in Abyss means more of him on pay per view in the future no doubt. Again I ask, what on Earth do they see in him?

Gail Kim defeated Velvet Sky (c) to capture the Knockouts championship in another average match on the card. After claiming beforehand in a pre match interview that Gail didn’t need herself or Madison Rayne at ringside, Karen Jarrett and Rayne both interfered in the match up anyway. And not only once, but twice. It felt overkill to be honest and it was a pretty weak finish (seems like a trend for this PPV) Rayne even fumbled her finisher when she entered the ring as the ref was distracted by Karen. The second time Karen once again distracted the referee as Madison grabbed Sky’s legs, right in front of the referee too (well this is TNA, right?) as Gail Kim applied the Eat Defeat for the one-two-three.

Jeff Hardy defeated Jeff Jarrett in about five seconds after hitting him with the Twist of Fate and getting the pinfall victory. A furious Jarrett demanded one more match out of Hardy, to which Jeff obliged.

Jeff Hardy defeated Jeff Jarrett once again in a decent enough match up after Hardy turned a Figure Four attempt by Jarrett into a roll up pin for the victory. The match itself wasn’t a show stopper by any means but it had entertaining moments. As Hardy was walking back doen the ramp Jarrett smacked him in the back with a steel chair and claimed that it wasn’t over yet, and he was right. Jarrett then dragged Jeff’s body into the ring and demand that referee Earl Hebner count the pin as Jarrett covered him, but Hardy caught him out once more as he rolled up Jarrett for his third win of the night against double J. Jarrett’s face after was brilliant.

Bobby Roode (c) defeated AJ Styles to retain his World title in a mostly solid and exciting main event. Definitely the match of the night, although that’s not saying an awful lot after a pretty average PPV from TNA. Roode gained the win after pulling up AJ’s tights as he pinned him. The booking team (or rather the clueless Russo) really went overkill on the tainted wins at Turning Point.      

My iMPACT Wrestling, November 10th 2011 Recap

Roode opened things up as he explained that he screwed his former tag partner James Storm for the World title the previous week because chances at the World title are rare so he had decided to make “the best of my opportunity.” An understandably angry Storm made his way out, bulldozing through the security as he did. But before he could lay his hands on Roode he had already scarpered out of the ring. Sting in his new role as the general manager of iMPACT or whatever the title is (which he’s suited very well so far in my opinion) announced that there would be a World title rematch between Storm and Roode that night.

Crimson defeated The Pope in a mediocre match up. I remember a while back when  D’Angelo Dinero would get huge reactions from the crowds. I don’t think they ever should’ve turned him heel when they did last, it was unnecessary and just muddled up the fans reaction to him.

Garrett Bischoff versus Gunner ended in a disqualification when Flair ran into the ring during the match and pushed the referee out of the way. Before that Garrett had mounted most of the attack against Gunner, much to the surprise of his dad and Flair plus the commentary team. I still think it’s utterly ridiculous that they have this new popular babyface in Garrett with potential and yet he runs away scared form the way past it Flair every time he confronts him. Surely by this point Garrett wouldn’t be scared of some guy in his sixties? But that’s Flair’s ego for you. 

We then went backstage to witness a bloodied and beaten up James Storm lying in his dressing room.

Jesse Sorensen defeated Zema Ion in a short but entertaining X Division bout. I still have doubts over Sorensen’s level of charisma, but Ion looked pretty solid here. I’d like to see him more regularly on iMPACT in the future.

Afterwards Kid Kash joined Sorensen and gave another boring, cliche promo that could have some straight from the seventies where he went on about how Sorensen had done nothing and needed to earn his stripes. I like Kash in the ring but they really should limit his time on the mic from now on. He also announced that at Turning Point it’ll be a three way between both of them and the X Division champ Austin Aries for the title. As the two began to fight Aries ran out and helped out Kash to take out Sorensen. Can’t say I’m particularly hyped for that championship match on Sunday.

Gail Kim and Madison Rayne (c) defeated Velvet Sky and Mickie James to retain the Knockouts Tag Team titles in a clumsy at times but okay match. The finish came after Karen Jarrett who had accompanied the champs distracted the ref, allowing Rayne to try but fail in attacking Velvet who applied her finisher to Madison but then gave Gail Kim an opportunity to apply her finisher the Eat Defeat to Sky for the one-two-three.

Eric Young and Ronnie from the Jersey Shore defeated Robbie E and Rob Terry in a tag team match that was actually more entertaining then I had expected. Nothing spectacular but not a bad effort by the guys involved. 

Backstage all seven members of Ink Inc and Mexican America began to brawl until Mexican America decided to back away. Unusual finish to a fight backstage I thought, right?

AJ Styles defeated Christopher Daniels in the match of the night. AJ won after RVD thwarted Daniels attempt to attack Styles with a screwdriver he found under the ring by snatching it off him at ringside, allowing Styles to hit the Styles clash for the pinfall. 

Abyss, Jeff Hardy and Mr. Anderson defeated Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner and Bully Ray in a pretty mediocre match up for the most part. I still can’t understand this renewed push in the lump Abyss, what do they see in the guy? He’s an average character and average in the ring, nothing special.

Before the Bobby Roode (c) versus James Storm match for the World title there seemed to be no sign of the previously assaulted Storm. His entrance theme played a couple of times before a still-bloodied up Storm made his way out slowly to the ring and suddenly raced in to attack his opponent. After the outburst Storm then began to fade and just collapsed to the mat from the apparent loss of blood. The referees called for an ambulance and even signalled a fake cross sign to signal the seriousness of the injury. Roode even began to looked concerned and helped up Storm, but as he was he asked the ref if the bell had been rung to end the match, to which the referee answered“no.” After hearing that Roode quickly rolled up James Storm for the win and ran off as AJ Styles and Kazarian came out to check on their fellow Fortune member.  

An irate AJ called Roode a “prick,” and asked Sting for a chance at Roode at Turning Point in three days, to which Sting obliged. I feel like this is a little too much short notice for the main event match of their next PPV and could have and should have gone down a week earlier. Should be an entertaining match up between the two though.
