Results from last night's TNA Hard Justice PPV from New Jersey. It was a good show but would have been much more enjoyable by applying the most basic wrestling logic and scaling back on the weapons. Otherwise a fine show:
- Petey Williams beat Consequences Creed to retain the X Division title. Good action and the crowd was really into it. They cheered Petey and booed Creed. The artist formerly known as Davari attacked Creed to lead to the finish.
- Gail Kim, ODB, and Taylor Wilde beat The Beautiful People and Awesome Kong. Fun match. Still love the The PB's entrance.
- Beer Money Inc. beat LAX to win the tag team titles. Good match, perhaps the best of the night. Storm hit Homicide with a bottle to gain the victory.
- Jay Lethal beat Sonjay Dutt in a chain/tuxedo match. The stipulations hurt the match instead of enhancing it.
- Christian Cage and Rhino beat Team 3D in a New Jersey Street Brawl. They fought all over and used all kinds of weapons. Good match.
- A.J. Styles beat Kurt Angle in a last man standing match. Great match. These two guys are incredible. I wish Kurt would take some time off to rest. They teased taking Kurt off on a stretcher at the end, but A.J. attacked him again. On his way up the ramp, the lights went off and Sting gave him the reverse DDT. It appears that Sting may really be going heel. No one wants to see that.
- Samoa Joe beat Booker T in a cage match with weapons. This was overkill. It would have been so much better with just a straight wrestling match. The weapons made it feel like an ECW brawl from 1997. That was not a compliment. At the end the lights went out again and a guitar appeared which Joe used on Booker to get the pin. I guess Jeff Jarrett is coming back.
