BRM Reviews TNA Against All Odds 2005

[Big Red Machine]

TNA Against All Odds 2005 (2/13/2005)- Orlando, FL

ELIX SKIPPER vs. PETEY WILLIAMS (w/Scott D’Amore)- 6/10

MATT BENTLEY & KAZARIAN vs. BG JAMES & JEFF HAMMOND (w/ Ron “The Truth” Killings & Konnan)- 4/10

DUSTY RHODES & THE LAWYER- eh. The Lawyer’s threat to evict Dusty makes no sense at all.

RAVEN vs. DUSTIN RHODES- 5/10
I didn’t realize it until now… but Dustin is HUGE! The aftermath was eh.

TRYTAN HYPE- yeah, use PPV time to hype a debut on Impact. That makes sense.

NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: America’s Most Wanted(c) vs. Kid Kash & Lance Hoyt- 6/10
I really didn’t like AMW using the handcuffs. Babyfaces shouldn’t cheat.

FULL METAL MAYHEM MATCH FOR A SHOT AT THE NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss- 8/10

“DIAMOND” DALLAS PAGE & “THE ALPHA MALE” MONTY BROWN vs. TEAM CANADA (w/Scott D’Amore)- 4.75/10

30 MINUTE IRON-MAN MATCH FOR THE TNA X-DIVISON TITLE: AJ Styles(c) vs. Christopher Daniels- 9.5/10
Absolutely freakin’ AMAZING! Great action and an awesome story

NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH IN WHICH IF JARRETT USES HIS GUITAR AS A WEAPON, HE WILL FORFEIT THE MATCH AND THE TITLE: Jeff Jarrett(c) vs. Kevin Nash- 5/10
Not only were they on the outside forever, but the ref was perfectly fine with weapon usage… until the one key moment where Nash was about to bash Jarrett’s head in with… well, I won’t spoil which weapon Jarrett brought, but I popped when he first brought it out. They did have some very nice nearfalls, though, and I popped for X-Pac.

BONUS MATCHES:
Lex Lovet & Buck Quartermain vs.Phi Delta Slam (w/Trinity)- 4/10

Mikey Batts & Jerrelle Clark vs. The Disciples of Destruction (w/Trinity)- great squash

Overall, a great show from TNA, but almost entirely on the strength of the Jeff vs. Abyss and AJ vs. Daniels matches. And once again, the match listing on the jewel case is out of order, which really bugs me.
