Your winner, Rob Van Dam!

Match was decent. I thought the idea of Van Dam using what used to be known as his “ultimate finisher” destroying Rhino was a great way to re-establish it as a big-time finisher.

Rhino was bleeding a ton after the match as Taz and Mike Tenay wondered what this means for his future. The announcing has been really good so far, by the way.

Christy Hemme interviewed Kazarian backstage about AJ Styles vs. Douglas Williams. Kaz put over Styles and then said Douglas Williams is one of the best wrestlers in the world, hands down, but he was a traitor to something that would have made him a bigger star then he ever dreamt. He predicted Styles wins with the Styles Clash, then “sticks the Union Jack up Williams’ ass.”

The Guns worked over Max. Jeremy cut off Shelley when he brought a chair into the ring. The Guns worked over Jeremy in the ring but Jeremy flung a chair at Sabin’s face, then dropkicked Shelley into a chair wedged between the buckles. So much stuff early, it’s impossible to follow.

The Guns made a comeback but when Sabin went for a top, Max met him with a chair, then took out Shelley’s knees with one. Shelley fought off both members of Me, who brought a ladder into the ring. He tried to nail Sliced Bread #2 off the ladder but Max sent him into it. Jeremy then sailed off the ropes with the ladder, slamming it down over his chest.

The Guns set up a ladder in the middle of the ring. The ladder looked like it was as beat up as the wrestlers. The Guns gave up and brought in two more ladders, setting them all up. They positioned the other two ladders perpendicular to the original one. All four men battled their way atop of the ladders. Jeremy and Sabin were knocked to the mat. All four ended up back on the mat, exchanging kicks to the head. Shelley tossed Max a chair and he caught it. Shelley slammed him down into his knees.

The Guns brought a table into the ring. They placed it atop of the ladders (Think Wrestlemania 2000). The entire bout, the announcers have put over that even at the top of the ladder, the belts were too high, so this is their way of counteracting that.

Sabin, bleeding from the side of his head, grabbed the belts.

Your winners and still TNA Tag Team champions, The Motor City Machineguns!

Unbelievable expression of stunts and hard working athletic spots. Generation Me were made as players with this feud and the finale absolutely impressed. I can’t begin to put over what a great show this ha
