Mustafa Ali and Order 4 (which was a very good match, as expected) with Ryan Nemeth attacking Santana and Navarro coming in for the save seems like it might be leading to a Nemeth Brothers Vs.

It was nothing any reasonable fan would believe that a heel could believe themselves. The Angel Warriors were about Brookside becoming a star? There is no way Brookside would believe that Lee knew that or would reasonably agree with it. Brookside&#8217;s favorite part was that Lee&#8217;s whole World was shattered by the turn? Where did this cruelty come from? There was absolutely no build or foreshadowing to it. A very lazy promo and promo writing. We also get the babyface in Lee beating up hourly security guards for no reason, in this segment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using Frankie Kazarian to setup the Ultimate X Match for Slammiversary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t necessarily have a problem with Kazarian being in the match but TNA should&#8217;ve used one of their younger and\/or fresher stars as the centerpiece of this segment establishing the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dak Draper getting in way too much offense on Ricky Sosa<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2658513209\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Ricky Sosa should be sign-posted as the future of your company and you&#8217;re giving a guy like Dak Draper significant offense against him in what should&#8217;ve been a squash match?
