X DIVISION 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
MATT BENTLY, CHRIS SABIN & SONJAY DUTT VS. ALEX SHELLY, AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG
VERY WELL DONE TAG TEAM MATCH, AS MOST IN TNA WRESTLING. ESPECIALLY WITH THE X DIVISION, WHO ALWAYS PUT ON GREAT MATCHES. BOTH TEAMS IMPRESSED ME, BUT THAT IS NO SUPRISED AS THE X DIVISION ARE ALL GREAT ATHELETS WHO DO THEIR BEST TO PUT ON EXCELLENT MATCHES, JUST LIKE THESE SIX MEN. HAVE TO USE THE .5, BUT I WONT OVERUSE IT.

RATING: 7.5

THE JAMES GANG VS. THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
THE REVIEW BELOW MAY HAVE STATED THIS, BUT AS MOST TAG TEAM MATCHES ARE GOOD, I WAS JUST NOT INTO THIS ONE. MAKE NO MISTAKE, IT WAS A DECENT TAG TEAM MATCH, BUT THE CROWDS REACTION WASNT VERY HOT, THOUGH THE RETURN OF THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS WAS EXCITING TO MANY. I WONT UNDERRATE IT, AS IT WASNT THAT BAD OF A MATCH, BUT I DO THINK THE DIAMONDS SHOULD GO THEIR SEPERATE WAYS, AND PUT SKIPPER BACK IN THE X DIVISION TITLE HUNT.
WINNERS: THE JAMES GANG
RATING: 5

INTERNATIONAL X DIVISION SHOWCASE
AJ STYLES VS. TANAHASHI
AS I EXPECTED, THIS WAS A GOOD X DIVISION MATCHUP. ONLY REAL NEGATIVE WAS THE ENDING WHERE SHANNON MOORE INTERFERED AND ACCIDENTLY HIT TANAHASHI WITH AJ'S TROPHEE, GIVEING AJ THE WIN. THE MATCH ITSELF WAS VERY WELL DONE. MAYBE A LITTLE OVERRATED, AS I WAS EXPECTING THIS TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. NONETHELESS DEFINATELY A WATCHABLE MATCH THAT MOST WOULD ENJOY.
WINNER: AJ STYLES
RATING: 7

IF RAVEN WINS, HE GETS A NWA TITLE SHOT, IF HE LOSES HE IS FIRED
RAVEN VS. SEAN WALTMAN
DESPITE THE BAD BOOKING PUTTING SEAN WALTMAN IN THE MATCH, AND EVEN WORSE BEATING RAVEN IN A WIN HE DIDNT DESERVE, THIS WAS QUITE AN ENTERTAINING MATCH. MAYBE IF THEY CHANGED THE ENDING TO HAVE RAVEN HIT THE RAVEN EFFECT ON WALTMAN THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT I GUESS TNA HAS OTHER PLANNED. CONFUSING, AND SOMEWHAT DISSAPOINTING BOOKING, BUT OVERALL A GOOD MATCH.
WINNER: SEAN WALTMAN
RATING: 7

RON KILLINGS VS. BOBBY ROODE
THE MATCH ITSELF WAS NOT BAD, BUT AFTER SEEING THESE TWO IN THE RING ON IMPACT IN A SERIES OF MATCHES, YOU KIND OF GET TIRED OF SEEING THESE TWO FACE EACHOTHER, AS YOU MIGHT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. JUST LIKE THEIR FINAL REMATCH ON IMPACT, ROODE WINS WITH THE NORTHERN LARIAT. COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT THEY STILL MADE A DECENT MATCH.
WINNER: BOBBY ROODE
RATING: 6

RHINO VS. ABYSS
ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE ANOTHER GOOD MATCH HERE AT FINAL RESOLUTION. THOUGH THEIR REMATCH AT AGAINST ALL ODDS IS A LITTLE BETTER, THIS WAS STILL QUITE A GOOD MATCH. THESE TWO MIX PRETTY WELL TOGETHER, AS RHINO IS A GREAT COMPETITOR, AND ABYSS IS ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH IN THE RING. ANYTIME THESE TWO FACE EACHOTHER YOU NOW CAN EXPECT A GREAT MATCHUP. ABYSS WINS WITH THE BLACK HOLE SLAM.
WINNER: ABYSS
RATING: 7

NWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
AMERICAS MOST WANTED VS. TEAM 3D
IT'S EITHER I AM RATING THE MATCHES TO LIGHTLY, OR THIS PAY PER VIEW IS JUST AWESOME. THIS MATCH WAS ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE PLUSES ON THIS DVD. WHEN YOU HAVE TWO AWESOME TEAMS LIKE TEAM 3D & AMW TOGETHER, YOU KNOW YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL. I THINK THIS WAS JUST AS GOOD AS THEIR TABLES MATCH AT TURNING POINT, NOT COUNTING THE DISSAPOINTING ENDING WITH TEAM CANADA INTERFERING, SCREWING TEAM 3D.
WINNERS & STILL NWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: AMERICAS MOST WANTED
RATING: 7

X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
SAMOA JOE VS. CHRISTOPHER DANIALS
AFTER WATCHING THIS MATCH, I WAS WONDERING IF THIS MATCH WAS JUST TO SHOW THE DOMINANCY OF SAMOA JOE, OR STARTING UP THE AJ STYLES/CHRISTOPHER DANIAL FEUD. IT ENDED UP BEING BOTH. THOUGH JOE WAS DOING MOST OF THE DOMINATING IN THIS MATCH, I STILL FOUND THIS ENTERTAINING. THE ONLY NEGATIVES I FOUND WERE ONE 1) IT WAS JUST TOO ONE SIDED FOR MY LIKING, AND 2) AJ STYLES THROWINING IN THE TOWEL TO RUIN THE ENDING. BUT STILL THIS WAS ANOTHER GOOD MATCH AT FINAL RESOLUTION.
WINNER & STILL X DIVISION CHAMPION: SAMOA JOE
RATING: 7

MAIN EVENT TAG TEAM MATCH
STING & CHRISTIAN CAGE VS. JEFF JARRET & MONTY BROWN
I MUST ADMIT, I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH THIS PPV SO FAR, BUT THE MAIN EVENT TOPPED ALL OF THE REST. THESE GUYS JUST WORKED SO WELL TOGETHER, AND WE ALL KNOW STING STILL HAS IT. GREAT TO SEE CAGE IN A MAIN EVENT SO EARLY IN HIS TNA CARRER, AND EVEN BETTER PICKING UP THE VICTORY, AS HE DESERVED IT. ALL THATS NEXT IS THE NWA WORLD TITLE. EVERY MAN DID THEIR JOB IN THIS MATCH, AND DID THEM WELL. STING'S IN RING SKILLS IMPRESSED ME, AS HE DID NOT SHOW ANY RING RUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM BEING OUT OF THE RING FOR SO LONG. OVERALL A GREAT MATCH AND MAIN EVENT TO A GOOD PPV.
WINNERS: CHRISTIAN CAGE & STING
RATING: 8

PAY PER VIEW RATING: (61.5/90) = 68

OVERALL FINAL RESOLUTION 2006 RECIEVED A (B) GRADE, MEANING THAT IT WAS A GOOD PAY PER VIEW AND IT'S WORTH A BUY. I DEFINATELY AGREE WITH THOSE COMMENTS. I MUST SAY I WAS IMPRESSED TO SEE SO MANY MATCHES THAT WERE WORTHY OF A '7', OR 'GOOD' RATING. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST EVEN PAY PER VIEW'S IVE RATED IN AWHILE. THOUGH TURNING POINT WAS A LITTLE BETTER, THIS WAS STILL A GOOD PPV THAT I THINK YOU SHOULD BUY.
P.S. WHENEVER AMAZON STARTS SELLING TURNING POINT, I'LL WRITE A REVIEW ON IT AND THEN YOU CAN COMPARE THE TWO TO SEE WHICH YOU'D RATHER BUY, OR EVEN BOTH IF YOU GOT THE SPARE MONEY.

heres the matches and what i thought about them.
1-team canada vs jay lethal and some nobodies.[5 stars out of 10.very average].eric young was one of team canada.lance hoyt from the other team.note the tattoo just above his [...].that is a popular thing GIRLS do.its known as a tramp stamp unfortunately for anyone who has one.jay lethal was the only cool wrestler in this match.the end was cool.
2-lax which is konan and homicide vs the naturals[5 stars].first of all,who the #$%^ are the naturals?the lax were good but the other guys kept stinking everything up.
3-alex shelley and 2 bozos vs chris sabin,sonjay dutt and one bozo[7 stars=awesome!].alex shelley and chris sabin must not have been the motor city machine guns back then.it was cool to see such awesome wrestlers duke it out.chris sabin was totaly dominant though.im making the prediction right now!every time a great tag team breaks up,one wrestler sucks and the other is catapulted to super stardom.if the mcmg's ever break up,chris sabin will be champ one day.sonjay dutt?he's a guru now?hes on my backyard wrestling 2 game!
4-james gang aka new age outlaws aka billy gunn and road dogg vs elix skipper and david young[who?].....5 stars...another snoozer.....what kind of goofy name is skipper?and billy gunn had his hair all up on his head pebbles style.definately weird,i know!
5-aj styles vs tanahashi[6 stars-really good].this match was better than average but not too much better.there was a cool part where a dragon sleeper got combined with a giant swing.....
6-raven vs x-pac in a no dq match[7 stars-awesome].these 2 brutalized eachother with a shopping cart.who wouldve thought a dork like the 123 kid couldve held up so well against the ever-brutal raven?
7-robert roode vs ron "the truth" killings.[5 stars].you want the truth?this guy sucks!he's little more than a inner-city honkey tonk man.at least the honkey tonk man won the ic belt.the only thing this guy ever did was suck.well when he wasnt busy blowing.and robert roode eventualy becomes one of beer money.why do they always sip thier beer like sissies anyway?
8-rhino vs abyss[no dq][6 stars].abyss was once tna champion.rhino was once ecw tv and ecw world champion.of course rhino only got the tv title because rvd hurt himself.and the world title AFTER sandman had been in a match and couldnt stand.anyhow,it was a cool match but it wasnt anywhere near as bloody or violent as it shouldve been.
9-the dudley boys vs james storm and chris harris.no dq....[6 stars].this couldve been another brutal match by the once ecw tag team champions but it wasnt.the dudleys were going for the titles.not only that if they won it would be thier 19th title .more than that,nobody ever got that many or even close in case you didnt know.AND no one ever came close to winning the titles in 5 different leagues.the road warriors only had 3.the dudleys won it in wwe,wcw,ecw,tna and nwa.as an tribute,they even nailed the lod's doomsday device.
10-christopher daniels vs samoa joe[7 stars].ultimate x title......i always thought christopher daniels eyes were creepy.they are sunk way into his head.i was thinking a lot during this match."ho hum.i like it when samoa joe really lets loose."well,he's the reason theres 7 stars.it was a really good match before samoa joe just FREAKING LOSES IT!it was very brutal,making a really good match into an awesome match.
11-sting and christian vs jeff jarrett and monty brown.[6 stars].that last match stole the show.the match was better than average i guess.i was really looking at gail kims [...].they just dont look that big now on wwe.....

i got this dvd for free at a live show so it was worth my money.i'd buy it too.one great reason is because wwe pay per views normaly only have 6 matches.this one has 11.the last royal rumble only had 3 and told who the winner of 2 of them were on the back of the dvd.

this wasn't a great ppv or a bad one either. stings return to wrestling might help tna's ratings, but in this wrestlings fan mind how long does he stay around before he decides to leave again to sepnd time with his family full time. As for the fans chanting that he still has it, i won't believe it until he wrestles a few singles matches against better talent like aj styles, christopher daniels and samoa joe.

Matt Bentley, Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt vs. Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, Roderick Strong : Not a bad opener since all X-Division tag matches are usually good. Sabin's team wins
3 out of 4

The James Gang " New Age Outlaws" vs. The Diamonds In The Rough: The Tag matches are usually got but...not when it's a Diamonds in the Rough match. They just need to split up already, you always know they aren't gonna win anyway. PrimeTime is too good for a jobbing team that's just used to put other teams over. Plus after Konnan turned on BG James, you just wanna see them go at it. No one cared about this match.
The James Gang wins
2 out of 4

AJ Styles vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi (from New Japan Pro Wrestling) : This one seemed like it had more potential than what we got. Both can go and the match is good until Shannon Moore runs in and ruins it. He hits Hiroshi on accident when he's aiming for A.J. and then A.J. hits the Styles Clash for the Win.
2 1/2 out of 4

Raven vs. Sean Waltman: Why in the hell did TNA push Waltman as the guy to beat Raven in a you lose and you're fired match ? I mean Waltman wouldn't even admit he had a good thing going in TNA. He'd call Triple H the whole time asking for his job in the WWE back. He only showed when he wanted to and infact this is the last time I've even seen him in TNA. Anyway Sean hits the X-Factor on Raven but Raven has his foot on the rope but Larry Z. who hates Raven and is the ref acts like he doesn't see Raven's foot on the rope. Waltman didn't deserve the win at all because when did he ever give TNA his 100% like Raven ? Anyway it's still an ok match but because of Raven.
2 out of 4

Ron "The Truth" Killings vs. "Canadian Enforcer" Bobby Roode: Both men can go but they really aren't the best combination. I mean prior to this match Bobby Rhoode had a match with Killings where Killings kept pinning him and Rhoode demanded that the match was restarted until he got the win with the Lariat. So if you saw that match, you probably already had enough of seeing them in the ring together. Rhoode wins with the Lariat here too.
2 out of 4

Rhino vs. Abyss: Their Hardcore match a few ppvs later is a bit better but still this one isn't bad. Abyss is always a fun guy to watch and I'd love it if Jarrett actually stepped back and let another heel be champ in TNA. God knows Abyss can handle the job easily. Abyss wins this one with the blackhole slam I think.
3 out of 4

NWA World Tag Team Champions America's Most Wanted vs. Team 3D:
This isn't a bad tag match. TNA rarely ever has bad tag matches. They could teach the WWE about tag matches. TNA has a strong roster of tag teams. They may not be able to beat Big Show or Kane but...they're more talented. AMW is one of the best teams of today and Dudleys gave the WWE their all until Vince was ready to give them their souls back by firing them. By firing them he allowed TNA to get their hands on them and put together this tag team dream match. It sucks that Team 3-D "The Dudleys" get screwed over by Team Canada though. Otherwise this isn't a bad match.
3 out of 4

X-Division Champion Samoa Joe vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels : This could've been a better match if it wasn't strictly just meant to show how dangerous Samoa Joe is. He beats the crap out of the talented Danials until A.J. Styles gets nosey and throws the towel in for Danials. Samoa Joe kicks ass but it's making A.J and Danials look weak with how bad he kicks both their asses and how neither can beat him.
2 1/2 out of 4

Sting & Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett & Monty Brown:
Sting is back in the ring and the fans yell "you still got it" as he does the stingers splash and kicks some ass. This is a fun match and one of TNA's better mainevents at a ppv. Plus Christian and Jarrett work better together than Jarrett and Rhino do. They put on some good matches. Their singles match at the following ppv was way better than Cena and HHH's match at WM certainly. Anyway it's great seeing Sting back and he pins Jarrett with the Scorpion Death Drop for the win. Sting would be wasted in the WWE as just one of the legends added to HHH's list of people he beat. When he could kick HHH's ass, so he was smart for not going to the WWE and I hope he never ever goes there. The WWE would ruin Sting.
3 1/2 out of 4

TNA usually put on great ppvs but this one wasn't it's best yet I can't say it sucked either. It's great to see Sting back and for once the mainevent is the strongest match on the card.

TNA's January 2006 PPV Final Resolution is showcased by the wrestling return of the Icon, the man called Sting. Final Resolution 2006 is a pretty good PPV. Some quality matches, some not so good matches. That's the formula for a lot of PPV's. I won't go into every match on the card, but some of the better matches are AJ Styles vs. Tanahashi, Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels and of course Sting/Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett/Monty Brown.

Overall, a decent PPV with a great main event. Sting's return to wrestling is awesome. This is the top match on the PPV. I literally could not wait to see Sting come down that rampway and it was eveything I thought it was going to be and more. Sting did not look that bad either for his age and time away from the ring. As the crowd chanted to Sting "YOU STILL GOT IT" and I would have to agree. Sting didn't have any ring rust.

I highly recommend this PPV for any TNA fan and especially if you are a Sting fan. I've followed TNA Wrestling since they debuted in Nashville, TN in 2002. I'm happy they were to sign such an icon as Sting. I only rated this PPV 4 stars because the overall card could of been better. Seeing Sting back in professional wrestling alone is well worth the $15. Keep up the good work TNA.

A loyal fan

Sting? Big Poppa Pump? Jeff Jarrett? Even brought Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell in for an appearence. I can only imagine Booker T jumping ship soon. X-division says the league who refuses to tour the states. I went to see them in Florida and it was alright. They really try hard to get the crowd pumped up for the show. Yea they wrestle more then WWE but they need story lines. TNA the future? Maybe if you want the wrestling future to be anther WCW.

final resoution was kinda one of the best pay per views in tna.raven vs sean waitman.was a most hardcore match of the night.if both of those guys were bleeding that should go in the best of the bloodiest brawls which i havent saw yet.aj styles vs tanahashi was a cool x divison match.amw vs team 3d was a cool match that should have new tag champs.it stink when team canada helped amw.GO BACK TO CANADA?Somoa joe vs christopher daniels was very brutal.JOE DO THINK THIS IS A HARDCORE MATCH?It was good that aj styles threw in the towel.Sting and christian cage took down jeff jarret and monty brown A COOL PAY PER VIEW DEBUT FOR STING.
