Full Metal Mayhem was pretty much like a one on one TLC match. I give that match 10/10. The Iron Man Match was probably the best Iron Man Match I've ever seen, even with it being only 30 minutes instead of 60. Cant wait to see them do it again at Bound For glory in Iron Man 2, betwen the same two guys, Styles and Daniels. Main event is suprsingly great.

The NWA World heavyweight championship match between Jeff Jarrett & Kevin Nash while not a great bout it was still a entertaining and decent brawl and could have done alot better without the cello(don't ask). The 30 minute Ironman match X-Division championship between A.J. Styles & Christopher Daniels was hard-hitting,solid & met expectations. The Full Metal Mayhem match between Jeff Hardy & Abyss was a good reminder of Hardy's TLC matches in the WWE. The rest were OK. I give this event a 7 out of 10.

1st match primetime vs petey wiliams winner primetime. 2nd match bg james and jeff hammond vs matt bently and kaz winners bg james and jeff hammond. 3rd match raven vs dustin rhodes winner raven. 4th match amw vs kid kash and lance hoyt winners amw. 5th match jeff hardy vs abyss winner abyss. 6th match ddp and monty brown vs team canada winners ddp and monty brown. 7th match aj styles vs christopher daniels winner aj styles. 8th match jeff jarett vs kevin nash winner jeff jarett. bonus footage team trinty vs lex lovett and buck quantine team traci vs mickey batts and jerelle clark winners team traci.

Here are the results of TNA's Against All Odds 2005 PPV.

Elix Skipper VS Petey Williams: A decent, short opener. Skipper misses alot of moves in this match. Its ruined halfway thru when they reveal Skipper has a new move and wants to show it. If thats not a spoiler alert to who wins this match, then I guess they had to blurt out Skipper is going win this match with his new move! Two great wrestlers and one bad match.

BG James @ Jeff Hammond VS Matt Bentley @ Kazarian: Just like WCW, TNA uses stars from other sports to attract a crowd. I dont think it really works. BG James still using the same shtick from his glory days. A bad match.

Dustin Rhodes VS Raven: Raven and Rhodes are both good wrestlers and there feud had a good storyline going. The matches between these two, sucked.

AMW VS Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt: While it was a good match, the ending ruined it for me. Watch at how Lance is placed in AMW's finishing move. He doesnt sell the move as he is going up and looks like he is resting on a hammock. It ruined the match.

Jeff Hardy VS Abyss in Full Metal Mayhem! I cant really say much for this match. Its what you'd expect it to be. The ending was cool though. I cant believe they never did anything with Hardy.

DDP and Monty Brown VS Team Canada: Again, I hate Team Canada. Its funny how people like Eric Young. He is TNA's version of Eugene, expect for the speical part. Again, I liked the ending though.

AJ Styles VS Christopher Daniels: I dont know why but TNA Iron Man matches never really worked for me. I think it was because the X-division is so fast paced that a Iron Man match slowed down the pace of the matches. Still a good match though.

Kevin Nash VS Jeff Jarrett: Nash is always criticized as one of the worst champion of all time. Funny how a babyface got over by saying he doesnt care for the belt, just the money. Well I cant say if fans liked Nash or not. This match sucked. It had a few cool spots but nothing speical. Kip James appeared and it stunned West and Tenay because they didnt know what to call him. It was a funny moment. Then Sean Waltman comes in and they say its a D-X Reunion! Too bad HBK and Triple H didnt come out and help Nash. As in early TNA, Jarrett retains the belt by cheating. Ive watched all the PPV's from 2005 and some in between and im always wondering why TNA main events are always 20 minutes or less.

Not a good PPV. Lot of matches were very short and didnt seem to be complete. The main event was atrocious. TNA really needs to work on main events if they want to overtake WWE as the #1 wrestling company. Full Metal Mayhem and the Iron Man match were good but on other TNA dvd compilations. I still wonder how TNA is still running today.

I am looking forward to TNA:AAO 2006 it looks great,i used to be biased with WWE wrestling and i remember along time ago on TNA iMPACT!:6-PAC vs. Jerry Lynn and i think Lynn won it,they shaked hands after the match and then 6-PAC attaked him,But what really got me into TNA wrestling was a PPV last October 2005 where three wrestlers had to climb this pole and then shimmy across this cable,two wrestlers were struggling to get this Championship belt and then a wrestler with blonde hair jumped off a turnbuckle and grabbed the belt-that was a good match!

Anyways i am looking 4ward to TNA:Against All Odds 2006 the matches look drawing-But i need to find what channel it is on in the UK-If it is on The Wrestling Channel or EuroSport when is it on!-please tell me i looked on the web.Oh i look for ward to the TNA iMPACT! episode repeat tommorow night(3:00 AM) on TWC.
Anyone here looking forwards to WWE WrestleMania 22?

First of all, I just want to comment that this isn't the place & people don't come here to read why people think TNA is better than WWE or visa versa. If one person is a fan of WWE then so be it & the same goes for TNA fans. Just review the damn DVD so people know if it's worth buying or not.

Basically I've seen all the TNA PPV DVD's released so far (and for those wondering about Victory Road, Turning Point, and Lockdown...look for that TNA anthology boxset) and this so far has been one of the most disappointing. The crowd just wasn't into the PPV past the first match until the last four and alot of the midcard matches were average to just poor but here's my review.

Primetime vs. Petey Williams - Nice match between two in the X division.

B.G. James (Road Dogg) & Jeff Hammond (from NASCAR) vs. Bentley & Kazarian - Dud match, just tryin' to get some publicity from having someone in NASCAR in a TNA ring.

Raven vs. Dustin Rhodes - Another match that was a dud.

AMW vs. Kid Kash/Lance Hoyt - Again, another match that just didn't do anything. It was average but the crowd was dead which made it seem worse.

Full Metal Mayhem (basically another way of saying a TLC match): Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss - You'll pop for this one if you like the weapons matches but it just seemed really sloppy and it was just an off night for them. If they didn't have the high spots through the tables, this match would have sucked. It was better than everything past the first match so it would look better than it did.

DDP/Alpha Male vs. Team Canada - The crowd really got into this one. And I'm shocked that this was a better tag match than the Tag Team Title match. Great match.

30 min. Ironman match: X champion AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels - This match is for those who say the X Division is just fill of high spots & car crash matches (ahem, Batista, ahem) because they guys did a great straight one on one match. This best match of the night for me.
Note: This is also available on the "Best Of The X Division Vol. 1" DVD.

NWA Champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Kevin Nash - It was a better match than I expected but then again, it's not something I would rush out & see. It was boring until the brawling, weapons & interference (Billy Gunn & X-Pac) made it an above average match.

Bonus Section: Basically two tag team squash matches with Team Trinity (Phi Delta Slam) & Team Traci (the Disciples of Destruction a.k.a. Harris Boys & Creative Control in WCW, Skull & 8-Ball from D.O.A. in WWF) in some storyline with they're fighting to become Dusty Rhodes assistant.

Overall, the best match on the card (ironman match) is available on another & better DVD that's the the same price as this one. Aside from the opening Primetime vs. Williams & the last 3 matches, the rest of the PPV was just boring. If you want the TNA PPV's available right now (only the first six), don't start with this one.

Another better T.N.A show which proves why no one does p.p.v like T.N.A.Iron man X division match,Hardy/Abyss/,and Jeff Jarrett and Kevin Nash for the NWA TNA title with the debut of The Outlaw(Kip James aka Billy Gunn) and the return of X-Pac(Sean Waltman)believe me this is an great dvd as T.N.A always proves to outwit the WWE when it comes to p.p.v!
