Angle was fine for setting up Jarrett vs. Hardy down the line.

Next up is Hulk Hogan vs. Sting so the TNA title, as it should, is going on last.

The match itself was exactly what you would expect given the limitations. The post-match angle was good for nostalgia but let’s hope the power struggle stuff is over and Hogan can stay out of the ring as it was obvious he shouldn’t be in there. Very strange that there was no post-match celebration with Dixie Carter and Sting.
