The Inside Pulse
Your typical TNA PPV. One match that makes the PPV worth renting, good X Division match, good tag match, typical gimmick match brawl, and Jarretts over booked title win. The whole Jeff Hammond thing really brought this PPV down for me. I want to know where Chris Sabin was though. Oh yeah, Don West is a horrible announcer. Still an above average PPV put on by TNA.
