Steviekick 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2006 A Dusty finish involves another referee/official overturning the decision of a match. I thought the Dusty finish was: a) Ref gets knocked out. b) Champ gets thrown over top rope. c) New ref runs down. d) Challenger pins Champ e) Pop f) Original Ref DQs Challenger. Has it been generalised to simple ref reversals? That's a classic Dusty finish. I think at this point he gets credit for any reversal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2006 I can't believe they put a commercial break over LAX's intro! That's one of the most unique things in TNA and a big part of the reason they got over. Also, the story of Samoa Joe coming to replace Petey played well into the Joe watching Angle's back story, but it would have been more effective if Angle played face-in-peril longer. Imagine the pop Joe would have gotten had he run out after say 8 minutes of Angle taking the LAX beatdown. It would have been insane. I'm glad they didn't pull the trigger on the title change though. I was afraid they would have, because we all know Russo loves the wacky tag champs who can't stand each other (remember Austin/Shaw Michaels or Austin and Mick Foley?), but for once, a cop-out finish used by TNA made sense. If they are going to feature LAX's lawyer so prominently though, they should probably give him a name. Either way, I'm glad they didn't do the change, because A) they've had too many in the past month or so, B) LAX is too hot to stop their momentum and C) Kurt Angle doesn't need to be involved in the tag scene for long. Other than that, the Sting/Abyss/Christian deal is shaping up to be pretty interesting, though i think Cornette's character would have had better credibility if he took Christian out of the match for setting up Sting. Christian is moving very nicely into the top heel role though, and I'm sure it won't be long before they put the belt back on him. Everything else on the show was blah.

Guest Canadian Crippler64 Report post Posted December 1, 2006 Christian is moving very nicely into the top heel role though, and I'm sure it won't be long before they put the belt back on him. I couldn't agree more. I know that they had no choice but to bring him in as a babyface, but the guy is a natural heel, and has really gotten back to what made him so great in the WWE now that he is a heel again. Definetely will be champion again before long. I see him taking the title from Abyss before losing it to either Angle or Joe. Imagine the three way dance they could have?
