Thanks Snarf. And now for Sytage 2: The Match ratings.
Sonny Siaki & Apollo vs. Simon Diamond & Trytan
Siaki and Apolo were easily the better tag team, but Diamond and Trytan weren't too bad. The match was a little pedestrian, and I suspect was meant to try and get Trytan over, but still better than 70-80% of the WWE Tag division. 7/10
Elix Skipper vs. Amazing Red vs. Shark Boy vs. Delirious vs. Zach Gowan vs. Jerelle Clark
This match was just amazing. I don't rate Shark Boy much but he did well here, and Zach Gowan continues to surprise me with his abilities. I would've gone for Amazing Red or Gowan to win the match, but what the hey. A nice display for the X division. 8/10
Shocker vs. Alex Shelley
Shocker is astounding. There's no other way to express it. He dominated the match, though Shelley worked hard and did himself a lot of credit. Wasn't match of the night, but could've been on a lesser (by which I mean WWE) card. 8/10
The Outlaw vs. Ron Killings
A nice solid match. The Outlaw is not particularly talented himself, but in good company works well, and Killings is definitely good company. Continued teasing for New Age Outlaws reunion also added spice to the match. 8/10
NWA Tag Team champions The Naturals vs. Team Canada
The Naturlas once again ruled the roost, and though Team Canada performed well they didn't really compare. Jimmy Hart's appearance also ruled mightily, and the idea of a Naturals/Hart team is truly inspiring. 9/10
Samoa Joe vs. Sonjay Dutt
I didn't know Joe going into this match, but I must admit to being impressed bys his performance. I like Dutt but I've a sneaking suspicion he was used to put Joe over, as he was somewhat under par. Still, this highlighted the skill with which TNA can push a guy without ramming him down our throats. 9/10
Bobby Roode vs. Lance Hoyt
A somewhat confused match, but watchable. Kudos to D'Amore for allowing himself to be beaten up, as head booker he could easily have altered that. Hoyt is definitely one to watch, though Roode is most definitely the runt of team Canada. 8/10
America's Most Wanted vs. 3 Live Kru
A solid tag match between two very good teams, neither of whom seemed on form tonight. AMW seem to have lost something since The naturals got the belt, and 3LK didn't have as great a night as they could have./ Still, bot hteams performed competently, and further teasing for The New Age Outlaws reunions was well placed. 8/10
TNA X-Division champion Christopher Daniels vs. Michael Shane vs. Chris Sabin
A god X division match, but I preferred the one earlier in the night. I don't really rate Sabin, but Shane is very good and Daniels is extraordinary. I think the match could've been better booked, though. 8/10
NWA champion AJ Styles vs. Raven vs. Monty Brown vs. Abyss vs. Sean Waltman
I was initially really pissed off at them taking the belt away from Styles, but the match itself was absolutely phenomenal. If it had been, say, Nash or Jarrett in there instead of Brown I would've enjoyed the match even more, but it still ruled. Raven is truly back (spelled a-w-e-s-o-m-e), and Stykes and Waltman in particular gvae it their all. Abyss, as a big man, seemed somewhat out of place but still did well, and fulyl deserves the push he's getting at the moment. 10/10
