Black History Month DAY 6

Black Machismo v. Christopher Daniels v. Puma v. Homicide v. Kaz v. Shark Boy v. Sonjay Dutt v. Senshi v. Petey Williams v. Elix Skipper






I actually saw Jay Lethals first match ever, he wrestled Rain at a JAPW card, so it is kind of cool to see him on PPV, even if it is in a stupid Russo gimmick in a D-Leauge clusterfuck. Man this match was so TNA it was a gauntlet leading into a ultimate X match using the Elevation X structure. So three dumb gimmicks in one, all this needed was something on a pole. The match itself was much like most of these TNA matches, lots of good ideas only about a third of them executed well. The battle royal portion was amusing just for the 45 seconds Petey Williams was in the match. This was a match full of not very good wrestlers, and Petey is so clearly worse then all of them, I mean when you are yelling at the screen "GET THE CAMERA BACK ON GURU SONJAY DUTT" you know someone stinks. I also loved the section where everyone hit their finishers in a row, just to hear Mike Tenay yell out the stupid ass indy wrestling names everyone had for their moves "It's the THE LETHAL COMBINATION...THE SUDDEN DEATH... WAVE OF THE FUTURE...THE FLUX CAPACITOR." Seriously TNA needs to hire a naming firm.

Jay Lethal did take a couple of really nice high backdrops, although he didn't eat a clothesline though which is the other thing he does really well. He also had a couple of big bumps, which were smaller then other bumps, thus completely forgotten. Really a waste of career shortening bumps, if it is the 8th biggest bump of the match. Still it was nice to remember how much I used to like Lethal. Elix Skipper is also black and also in this match.
