4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Undercard, Disappointing Main Events, March 1, 2007

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: Genesis 2006 (DVD)

This PPV was the first PPV under the Vince Russo era & it surpassed the Bound For Glory event on so many levels. Storylines progressed, there were plenty of suprizes, and a main event worthy of the hype it recieved.

Preshow: Eric Young vs. Robert Roode - This was just a short match between the two in which Roode cheated in the end to win but the referee restarted the match after the fans told him he cheated in which Young pulled off a quick win & the crowd denied that Young cheated...when he did. This began the Ms. Brooks/Eric Young storyline which would go on for the next couple of months.

Voodoo Kin Mafia vs. Serotonin - This was just an opener for VKM to mock DX & being their "mission" against DX & Vince McMahon. Afterwards, it was revealed that Raven was the leader of the Serotonin group.

Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt vs. The Naturals - The Naturals were in full heel mode here and delievered a solid matchup with Lethal & Dutt. Good match overall.

X Division Champion Christopher Danials vs. Chris Sabin - Sabin was always one of the most underrated X division stars but now he's got a cocky personality to make him standout above others. This was one of the best matches of the night with solid inring work & not the "car crash" high spots that have sterotyped the X divison. The finish also helped further the Lynn/Sabin storyline as well & play a role later in the night as well with AJ Styles saving Daniels in this match.

Lance Hoyt & Ron Killings vs. Austin Starr & Alex Shelly - This was just a filler match to further the storyline of Shelley being jealous of Kevin Nash's favoritism towards Austin Starr which was apparent in the end when Shelley ended up losing the match trying to showoff for Nash. It's just said that Ron Killings & Lance Hoyt (who's very athletic for his size) were nothing more than a filler tag team to further a storyline between two other wrestlers.

AJ Styles vs. Christian Cage - It's disappointing that these two wouldn't go on for a longer fued after this because this match went really well. Second best match of the night as their different styles meshed well together. The ending of this match came when Daniels tried to save AJ like he did earlier in the night but it backfired which helped set up the AJ Styles/Rhino fued for the next upcoming months.

NWA World Tag Team Champions LAX vs. America's Most Wanted - Solid tag team match between the two teams but it was a little short to turn into something memorable & the bigger picture at the end of the match was Jim Cornette saying that LAX were stripped of the tag team titles to which the fans were very vocal about...in a negative way.

NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting vs. Abyss - I was expecting to see Sting to do his usual stops throughout this match but Sting stepped it up in this match the way he should have at Bound For Glory. There was a mix of brawling & in the ring action before it went hardcore with Sting even landing shirtless on tacks harder & stiffer than than Ric Flair got it in ECW months earlier. However, when Sting absolutely loses his mind is when the match goes downhill. He beats Abyss down, hangs him & beats him with his bat before putting him through barbed-wire boards...all of which took a while to set up each spot. Sting ended up getting disqualified & Abyss wins the NWA Title due to a rule that has been around since TNA started up but people forgot about it because alot of the TNA title matches in recent years don't end with the champions getting disqualified or counted out. It's something that "traditional" wrestling fans don't like & don't agree with.

Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe - The match was a disappointment in most people's eyes because they were expecting the type of dream match Angle had with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 21 in which they put on a 30 min. rollercoaster of a wrestling clinic. However, this heavily resembles Angle's WrestleMania 22 match in which it didn't go long (less than 15 mins.) but in that entire time, they went high impact & there wasn't a slow moment which left you wanting more as Joe's undefeated streak came to an end. The crowd was heavily into it & the aftermath guarenteed that you would get a rematch.

In the end, this PPV delievered quality matches & had a main event that that wasn't a wrestling clinic but an enjoyable intense rollercoaster of a match. I would recommend for a viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genesis 2006- Good All Around TNA PPV, February 23, 2007

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: Genesis 2006 (DVD)

Just saw the DVD and this blows away Bound For Glory. Angle/Joe was not dissapointing at all, it lived up to the hype in my view. There were other gems on this PPV as well. Sabin/Daniels was one of the better X Division Matches of the year and Chrisitan/AJ had a really nice little match, they blended well together. I thought the feud with Rhyno was kind of random but after seeing this it makes sense. And Sting vs Abyss is being very slept on, awesome effort by both men, I thought it was a hard fought and very brutal match with a different ending that we don't normally see.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dream Match Of The Decade, June 18, 2009

This review is from: TNA Wrestling: Genesis 2006 (DVD)

Genesis was the first PPV under TNA's new creative writer, Vince Russo. From this PPV, new storylines were developed and would carry on to next month's Turning Point and into the following 2007 year.

Preshow: Eric Young Vs. Robert Rude - This was a short match. EY was wrestling in his blue jeans and was dragged into this match after Robert Rude and Miss Brooks came out and challenged Eric Young to a match right before EY could announce his "big" announcement. Rude cheated to win the match but the referee re-started the match after the fans told that Rude used the ropes. Therefore, Eric Young gave Robert Rude a dose of his own medicine to win the match in the end and to begin his relationship with Miss Brooks. 2.5/5

Voodo Kin Mafia Vs. Serotonin - This was just an opener for VKM to mock DX and to continue their "mission" against DX & Vince McMahon. Nothing notewrothy or special here and this too was a pretty short match. Afterwards, Raven was revealed as the leader of Serotonin and would give Johnny Devine beatings from a kendo stick for some kind of punishment. 2/5

The Naturals Vs. Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt - This was a very enjoyable tag team match. It was originally suppose to be The Naturals against Team 3D but Team 3D was unable to make the PPV so Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt became the substitutes. Overall, this is a solid and very good match. 4/5

TNA X Division Championship
Christopher Daniels Vs. Chris Sabin - This was a very good X Division Title match and one of the best matches of the night. Chris Sabin was still in his cocky and arrogant character here and he pulled it off so well in this match. The two told a good inring story with solid inring work and not really having any "crash and burn" spots that has made the X Division over the years. The end only continued the Sabin/Lynn feud and with AJ Styles helping Daniels in his match that would have a role to play later in the night. 4.5/5

Ron Killings & Lance Hoyt Vs. Alex Shelley & Austin Starr - This was just a filler match to further continue the Shelley/Kevin Nash angle of Nash showing favoritism towards Austin Starr and not Alex Shelley. A decent tag team match but only here for the Shelley/Nash/Starr angle. 3/5

Christian Cage Vs. AJ Styles - It's a shame that these two didn't continue feuding after this match because this match was really great. Their styles & inring work really meshed in well with each other and AJ Styles and Christian Cage produced a solid back and forth contest. The ending came when Christopher Daniels tried to save AJ Styles like Styles did for Daniels in his match but would only backfire that helped to begin the AJ Styles/Rhino feud for the next couple of months ahead. 4.5/5

NWA Tag Team Championship
America's Most Wanted Vs. Latin American X Change - A solid tag team title match but fell a little bit too short for people to take it as something great and memorable after the big, personal build up this match got. In the end, TNA Executive Jim Cornette came out and stripped L.A.X. of the NWA Tag Team Titles which the fans became very vocal about in a very negative way. 3.75/5

NWA Heavyweight Championship
Sting Vs. Abyss - Do not expect the same Sting that you previously saw in TNA up to this point. Sting stepped up his game tremedously, more then in his match at Bound For Glory against Jeff Jarrett. Sting was totally a complete, different wrestler in this match as he took it to Abyss early in the match. There was a mix of brawling and wrestling in this match as Sting focusing on taking Abyss out while getting very physical in the progress. Sting even taking a hard chokeslam back first onto the thumb tacks that may shock some people since Sting never done anything like that throughout his whole career. The match was getting very good up to that point but went downhill after Sting goes crazy and eventually would hang Abyss upside down and throwing Abyss off the stage through tables and barbed wire boards...while losing his NWA Title in the progress due to TNA's rule of losing the title on a Disqualification. Still, I think this match was good and it delivered from a stand point. 3.5/5

Kurt Angle Vs. Samoa Joe - For some people, this match was a disappointment as they expected a match like Kurt Angle's match with Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 21 or Shawn Michaels' match with Triple H from SummerSlam. The match wasn't very long, but Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe went non-stop and delivering a very fast paced, high impact, exciting match that everybody will appreciate. In the end, Samoa Joe's undefeated streak came to an end as he tapped out to Kurt Angle's Ankle Lock. For being called "The Dream Match Of The Decade", this match delivered in my eyes and was a good way to end the show. 4.5/5

I recommend this purchase. Even though the two main events didn't deliver the way they should've, the overall card is very good and would be a nice addition to your collection.
