And we start... With Shawn curtain jerking!

Hulk Hogan wore yellow. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But one could argue yellow is a representation of gold. Pink on the other hand...

You know a spot that I want to see done in an Ultimate X match? Someone climbing on top of the cables of the X and doing a high move...like a 450 or a SSP...onto someone either in the ring or on the arena floor.

I'm SO getting this. Though I do have to note: Amazing how a guy who wore pink for over a decade stays so popular.

I'm wondering if they'll mention the Hurricane unmasking in a frustrated way situation from Unlimited tonight. They didn't last week, but they did on Heat.

No, no one will say that. Rhino was pushed pretty strongly in the WWE for what he was. People who remember him from WWE will remember him as someone who squashed people in the midcard. Then disappeared, as they didn't do an on air firing. Came back with ECW and was a threat. Now won three matches in one night and is champion of TNA. I think any way you look at it, from a marks perspective, Rhino is a pretty strong wrestler. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but marks are gonna think that if Rhino was really good, then WWE would've kept him. Or, they'll just see some former WWE low-carder (You can make the argument that Rhino wasn't even a midcarder in WWE since he never held the US or IC Title) who is now World Heavyweight Champion in TNA. TNA's best bet would be to make an unknown wrestler, to most WWE fans, the champion. That way, casual fans wouldn't be able to say, "Well if Rhino became champion in TNA, the wrestlers must not be very good" or something to that extent. Because if TNA ever hopes to garner ratings higher than a 1.1 or 1.2, they have to have some mark credibility. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've had mark friends of mine say for a long time they wish that WWE would have given Rhino a chance in the main event scene. They wouldn't see TNA as weak for it.

If built up properly, anyone could be credible in a main event scene. Going to WWE...when Cena first started out with the rapper style, did anyone ever think he'd become WWE Champion shortly afterwards? When Batista first came in as a Decon...then later was the "Monster who Jobbed" in Evolution (if you look back, during the Evolution times, he did a lot more jobs than he should have in that role)...did we think he'd become World Champion? Yeah, Rhino has the ex-WWE stigma to an extent...but if built up right, he could easily be made to look main event.

Well, except for AMW, Gail, and Team Canada...everyone hates Jarrett, yes.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. And I enjoyed the event too...so far, every TNA PPV I've ordered I've enjoyed.

I thought the booking for Rhino made him a good threat: Wins Monster's Ball, making him seem tough. Wins the Gauntlet, making him seem durable. Then pins Jarrett CLEAN, making him seem like a champion. All in one night. That, to me, is building someone into a champion. But that could be my opinion.

Damn, no one in the casket...now they put Rhino in the casket. Team 3D is back!

Rhino is the new NWA World Champ...avoiding a second guitar shot to get the Gore!

That would be cool in my eyes.

The match is Rhino/Jarrett. Joe and AJ were eliminated together.

The match down to AJ, Joe, Abyss and Rhyno.

AJ Styles is in it!

Rhyno now out! EDIT: And eliminates Hoyt.

Monty in the ring...and just pounces Sabu. Brown eliminates Hardy...and Brown's momentum took him out!

Jeff Hardy #5...limping out.

Hoyt #3. Abyss number 4. Abyss/Joe staredown!

Sabu is man number three. This is a unique grouping.

Samoa Joe is the first man in the gauntlet!

Great timing for the ending of the Styles/Daniels match...

Well, it may have a WrestleMania 1 feel to it...minus celebs.

When I started watching, it was a Russo-led group called Sports Entertainment Xtreme (Or S.E.X. for short)
