So we finally heard from D'Angelo Dinero....and I'm not sure it helped flesh out his character. The opening tag match was fine and Dinero vs. Suicide was good. Rhino's promo was awful on both ends: the scripted words and his performance. With the yelling and the look on his face, it looked like he was channeling "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. The interview went between work and shoot a bit too much for me.

At least the Cody Deaner stuff was kept short this week. "Fat Chick Thriller" Kevin Nash could be fun, but I'm not sure he'd put himself in that position too often. His match with Foley was nothing special. I liked Steiner & Brutus against Ray and Roode. I'm waiting for BMI to turn on 3D again, though. Kong & Saeed vs. Sarita and Taylor was pretty good. The main event was fine and I'm glad they didn't just throw Joe to the wayside when Morgan and Angle brawled at the end.

Tonight's show did what it needed to do, it finally built towards No Surrender and gave us a final image of the heel standing tall before the main event match this Sunday. I didn't have much interest in No Surrender, as TNA seems to be just using that show as a stepping stone to get to Bound For Glory. But things progressed nicely this week, and the interest levels in many of the feuds have increased.

Matt Morgan has been consistently outsmarting Kurt Angle and getting the best of him. It was nice to see Angle standing tall to end the show and the rising babyface at a disadvantage. Nobody wants to buy a PPV when the entire lead-up was babyface dominated. Unfortunately, Sting and Styles have been sort of left out of the mix for the match build up. I don't think Morgan is ready for the title yet, and I'd like to see Angle drop it. TNA may still yet surprise us with a Styles or Sting win this Sunday.

It's hard to complain about the X title match. At least this one got some type of hype leading up to the match. The mystery over the KO Tag Titles is still undecided, so I am interested to see how that plays out. Nice to see the KO team up on Deaner during the lumberjill match. Guess they view his involvement in the division just the same as we do.

The big complaint for this week however is not following through on hype. They hyped Foley/Nash well, but we saw a non-finish after only four minutes of action. We were also promised a Lashley "interview", but were only treated to a few words before the segment was over.

I really liked this show. Despite the fact that none of the matches went more than five minutes, most of it didn't feel rushed. I'm still baffled by the omission of such people as Jay Lethal. I'm somewhat more interested in No Surrender than I was a few hours ago, so they get credit for that. The lack of any signature moment was probably the show's biggest failing.
