TNA Genesis 2005
**Pre-show**
SHARK BOY vs. NIGEL MCGUINNESS- 4/10
TEAM CANADA PROMO - D’Amore and Petey were great. Bobby Roode said â€"prepare to be Canadianized!â€
**Main Show**
RAVEN & LARRY ZBYSZKO SEGMENT- GREAT!
A lot more submissions than you usually see from these guys. A bit sloppy, though.
3 LIVE KRU PROMO - Great segment.
HOCKEY STICK FIGHT WITH KIP JAMES AS THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREEE:
Decent story, but not particularly exciting.
JAMES MITCHELL PROMO - AWESOME! The only problem here was that Abyss stopped reacting to the words â€"barbed wire†half way through the promo. It just seemed to stop affecting him.
CHRISTIAN CAGE DEBUT PROMO & SEGMENT WITH SCOTT D’AMORE - Good
MONTY BROWN PROMO - Great!
WINNER GETS AN NWA WORLD TITLE MATCH:
They should have been counted out multiple times, but the ref just let them go with no explanation.
ELIMINATION X MATCH:
JOE JUMPS DANIELS AFTER THE MATCH - Great
SHANE DOUGLAS INTERVIEWS JEFF JARRETT AMW - Very good
NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH:
SICK finish!
SHANE DOUGLAS INTERVIEWS AJ STYLES - Good
TNA X-DIVISION TITLE MATCH:
AJ took one of the sickest, scariest bumps I have ever seen
RHINO, DUDLEYS & TEA, 3-D PROMO - Decent
I missed the part where they made this a street fight, but the violence here was AWESOME! This was a weild, crazy, violent, awesome brawl.
AFTERMATH - eh. The swerve with Christian was kind of weird.
Final Thoughts
Overall, a GREAT show from TNA. It was easy to sit through and tons of fun.
