While the finish to the main event was disappointing, I think it's safe to say that the outcome that we ultimately got with Roode turning heel and winning the title was much better. We not only got one the best heel turns in Company History but heel Roode was a much better champion than babyface Roode plus he had a long reign with the title so there's that
Exactly. These fans freak out whenever their very specific fantasy booking doesn’t come true. If you want to see what would have happened if Roode won here, or if Cody won at WM39 earlier this year, go back and look at the reaction to Seth Rollins’ Universal title run in 2019. He was working his ass off the previous year, and everybody was clamoring for him to win the title. But the minute he gets to it, they all turn on him. This is why Rollins acts like a maniacal supervillain now, and these same supposedly smart fans STILL don’t get it! Roode was never going to be a big business-booster for TNA, so you don’t risk much by telling a story with a controversial twist. Plus he was always more natural as a heel, and the scenario we got proved that.
Angle is a freak of nature. The amount of adversity and demons that man faced while still being arguably the best wrestler in the world will never ceases to amaze.
@@uggyoumugg7249 Angle arguably did his best work as Perk Angle in TNA tbh he was still putting on clinics with Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christian, Desmond Wolfe, etc.
i stopped watching wrestling back in 2004 so I didn't really watch TNA all that much it's disturbing how emaciated and dead inside Kurt Angle looks in this PPV. He honestly looks younger and healthier 12 years later than he does in 2011. That's fucking wild, but credit to Kurt for turning his life around
I remember Shawn Daivari saying on Colt Cabana’s podcast that between Robbie E’s Jersey Shore gimmick and Joker Sting that TNA was such a time capsule of the early 2010s
Brian congrats on ten years! I stumbled upon your channel when I was beginning this rough season of my life, and your passion for wrestling and the creativity of your presentation have helped during some of the most tiring and exhausting of days really looking forward to your content for June
Dixie didn’t just mess up the spike thing she messed up destination America too. Had TNA stayed on that channel for the 3 years they signed for they could’ve recovered their image and gone to a bigger channel (destination America at the time was a medium sized channel but still bigger than most wrestling shows get) Dixie apparently wrote an emails to TNA executives saying they deserved better than destination American and they deserved more money and a better time slot and somehow sent it to the executives at destination America too. They cut the contract and TNA was only their a year and half instead of 3 years and moved on to a much much smaller channel and they never recovered. Yay Dixie 👍🏼
I remember seeing Bobby Roode going through all that and not winning. Only for Storm to win and Bobby turning heel and winning the title after was weird AF. 🤔
Storm vs Roode should have been for the finals, with Storm coming in as champion. Angle was hurt, and didn't need to be in the storyline. At least, Roode went on to be the longest Impact champion.
I like Bobby, and the building to that match, what happend there, and what came after was very weird indeed. But at least he got „his“ title later. When i think about how he was build in NXT later, how over he was, and what came in the main shows, it‘s just sad.
What is with these Hogan videos, he isn't dead but you are acting like it. Yes, hes an old dinosaur but is not with Piper, Warrior and Savage yet in the RIP.
I remember watching Roode’s rise to main event and being so invested and excited that I ordered this ppv. And when it ended i had my first moment of “I’m done with wrestling”
Congratulations, Brian, on six years of the Classic PPV Reviews! It all began on May 27, 2017, and I must say that I enjoy taking the trip down memory lane or being introduced to some shows I have never seen or even knew about. Thank you for all you do!
Well considering that no one seems to know that Jeff Hardy’s original TNA run from 2003-2006/7 before going back to WWE he was already having substance abuse issues that caused WWE to fire him, and then no showed several TNA shows and they pulled his main event push and only let him do house shows. He’s had more chances than most people will get in a lifetime
If my memory is correct we have one more season of Hogan knows best and then 2 seasons of Brooke Knows Best (yes, she got a spin-off), but I don’t know that those seasons are entirely available.
@@FunkoPopnLockn Same here. My only concern is that Brian won’t be able to get a full archive of the Brooke episodes. I’m in a few lost media circles and there were missing episodes of that show the last I checked.
Gotta say, it's quite the coincidence that I've been binging these classic PPV reviews, running into one with RVD VS Jerry Lynn after we saw both of them on Dynamite today. Speaking of which, I remember back in your Hardcore Justice review that TNA weren't able to reference ECW by name but now in 2023, AEW's just able to have that name thrown around like it's nothing. I'm very curious as to why that's the case.
Hogan's career ending with a whimper, rather than a bang, always felt like poetic justice. His sins in wrestling finally coming home to roost in a way.
Hogan recently said that he never had a true retirement match so he hopes wwe let’s him and Austin or someone else have one last match . But it’d be some sweet karma if hogan’s last match will forever be his BFG match.
Hogan is like the harvey weinstine of wrestling. Sure he's scummy, but it's kind of laughable how everyone pretends he's the only stinker. It's like "thank god we got rid of the problem" as business continues as usual.
Was just recently thinking about how we don't see enough tna reviews on the channel, you always knew how to read my mind. Also I love the little intro clips you have had now, than Anderson one is immaculate.
What’s interesting is that TNA did the “TLC” (full metal mayhem) match with pinfalls just over a year before WWE would do it for the first time at TLC 2012 (in older WWE games TLC matches could be won by pin fall)
I think it would have been better if James Storm won BFG 2011 and beat Kurt Angle clean at BFG 2011 for the TNA World Championship, then TNA advertise a James Storm Celebration For Winning The World Title to start the following Impact and then Storm announces an open challenge World Title match in the main event of the show that is only open to people who have never won the TNA World Title. Bobby Roode answers the challenge. Roode and Storm shake hands to start the match, then Roode wins the match by turning heel and smashing the beer bottle over Storm's head and winning the World Title. I think this way would have been more effective in generating heat for Roode, because he stole his James Storm's big moment that he had worked 9 years to get.
As far as the main event goes here's my theory. Hogan simply didn't want Roodes victory to outshine his own victory. Because Hogan is a spotlight hog and is overall obbsessed with himself. Checks out imo because why would Hogan say he's not ready only to crown him champion about 2 weeks later?
Right and honestly it would have been a whole lot better to give the moment at a pay per view. Like yeah there was the shock of Roode using the bottle on Storm but like man the moment still would've been better at bound for glory.
To be fair, while it seems silly, if they didn't do it this way, we more likely wouldn't have had the IT Factor run, nor would Storm had ever been TNA world champion.
Growing up watching TNA, I was cheering Jeff Hardy as the babyface. Now in 2023, I can see why Jeff Jarrett was against having him back in the company.
Somehow, Kurt Angle unleashed his true power in TNA, becoming Perc Angle, a super powered version of himself who lets loose and does stuff that he doesn’t usually do back in WWE!
@@MrGared22 something like that. WWE wanted Kurt to check himself and try to cut down on the stuff but he told them to piss off and he jumped ship to TNA where he got to let himself loose real hard
This was an amazing PPV RVD Vs Jerry Lynn was great Karen Jarrett's theme during this Time period was awesome Velvet Sky winning the knockouts title was an amazing moment awesome Video Brian You're the best.
Not gonna lie the Final Week of HulkaMaynia was one that shattered my expectations and I think this was a pretty good note to end on. Maybe we can also make this a tradition. Because next year you can review My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic…oh and big wrestling event in Daytona where a hobo in a mask said “Theyrrrrrrrre Herrrrrrrrrre!”
One fun fact : TNA at that time was preparing a EU tour and to promote it they started to air Imapact's weekly show on TV. In my country (Belgium) the show aired like at midnight on thursday and there was like two or three weeks of delay with the US diffusion. They did the tour in January then it was off the air forever.
I saw the event live on TV, on PPV, and it was pretty good in my opinion, I’ve been a fan of TNA since 2008, still am to a degree. Anyway this is a great video.
20:29 MarkyD123 did a whole video on the Perc Angle run and told that Angle in a interview depressingly said that the reason he kept wrestling during this time is because he felt its all he had left cause of how his life was falling apart Im sorry to make you guys depressed 😔
Your analysis of Roode v Perc Angle is giving me flashbacks to Rhodes v Reigns at Wrestlemania. Doubtful the ultimate outcome will be as favorable, however. It’s all about paying off a setup at the best time.
The Styles/Daniels match is like a world renowned chef trying to make a five star banquet using ingredients only found at a McDonald’s. They did what they could, but they were severely handicapped by the match type.
Gods, they were both so good at their peak in TNA. And their chemistry was unmatched. Some of their bouts blew my young mind when I saw them for the first time.
I always interpreted Hogan politicking to have Kurt Angle to go over in the main event, was so that Rhoode winning the title wouldn't overshadow his final match.
1. (15:13-19:25) *What we've ALL been waiting for* 2. I remember this time period in wrestling. Jesus, it was arduous to be a TNA fan. 3. I remember, back then, how weird it was that Bobby Roode, the conquering babyface, lost at the end, especially via shenanigans. However, looking back on it, it actually made sense, especially given what came after. If Bobby won, we wouldn't have gotten The It Factor/Leader of the Selfish Generation gimmick that we love and adore. 4. Congratulations on 10 years of Wrestling With Wregret, Brian!
I’m late to the party this week but I’m laughing way too hard at the repeated use “Mister” as Ken Anderson’s first name. Glad somebody else does the same thing with names like that.
I haven't seen Roode lately in WWE but in TNA Roode's selling and ability to make his opponent look great is criminally underrated. Whether it was Beer Money, solo, or even the brief "Dirty Heels" tag team with Aries, Roode was always a high spot of any TNA show - Even if it wasn't a 5 star match it was going to being one of the better ones, if not the best, of the night. Really miss those Motor City Machine Gun vs Beer Money matches.
Love that RVD vs Jerry Lynn match, I'm 23 so at the time of this show I was 11 and man. I was blown away. I instantly went with my mom the next day to WalMart and BEGGED her to get me the ECW Unreleased Vol. 1 DVD. Back in them pre network days where all we had was WWE Home Video. They had RVD vs Jerry Lynn on there but also they had that kick ass match where they tagged against the Impact Players from Heat Wave 1999. So dope and eye opening for me as a kid at the time.
Crazy to hear the 10th anniversary of the show is coming up. I've been a fan since 2015 when I binged watched your entire catalogue over a weekend. My favourite wrestling content on TH-cam or elsewhere, hands down.
WWE took notes of the Roode/Angle storyline, the build for Bobby, the surefire-ness that he was scheduled to win the belt so Kurt could go on break, and they copy-and-pasted that for Roman/Cody at Mania 38...
I feel like I'm hindsight Roode losing to Angle was actually good. Because it gave us a great heel run and turn by Roode as well as having Storm win the title and a mostly good feud between the 2
1. Don't come at RVD with a chair 2. Don't try to powerbomb Billy Kidman 3. Don't headbutt a Samoan Are there any other unstated rules of wrestling that I've missed?
I was getting so excited! Lmao I got my BFGs mixed up. I was thinking this would be the show where Storm and Roode had that awesome street fight. That was 2012. Brian hopefully you cover that show soon!
Side note: this was last the TNA PPV to be released in stores on DVD, TNA's DVD distributor at that time went bankrupt. Since then, all Impact Wrestling DVDs have been released through their website

Whether it was Beer Money, solo, or even the brief "Dirty Heels" tag team with Aries, Roode was always a high spot of any TNA show - Even if it wasn't a 5 star match it was going to being one of the better ones, if not the best, of the night. Really miss those Motor City Machine Gun vs Beer Money matches.
He’s out with a neck injury currently - just had fusion surgery and could be out until at least the second half of 2024 according to reports
I watched this show at my friends house. He ordered the PPV, as he just was getting into TNA.
When I see D'Lo Brown anymore, all I can think is "Dammit, D'Lo!!" For some reason...
Love that RVD vs Jerry Lynn match, I'm 23 so at the time of this show I was 11 and man. I was blown away. I instantly went with my mom the next day to WalMart and BEGGED her to get me the ECW Unreleased Vol. 1 DVD. Back in them pre network days where all we had was WWE Home Video. They had RVD vs Jerry Lynn on there but also they had that kick ass match where they tagged against the Impact Players from Heat Wave 1999. So dope and eye opening for me as a kid at the time.
Funny seeing the Christopher Daniels screwdriver in the turnbuckle spot. We just saw Kenny Omega do that in AEW
"Perc Angle" great MarkyD123 reference.
Crazy to hear the 10th anniversary of the show is coming up. I've been a fan since 2015 when I binged watched your entire catalogue over a weekend. My favourite wrestling content on TH-cam or elsewhere, hands down.
It's June 10, and I already miss HulkaMAYnia.
Correction Christopher daniels is a cruiserweight aj styles is a lightheavyweight
WWE took notes of the Roode/Angle storyline, the build for Bobby, the surefire-ness that he was scheduled to win the belt so Kurt could go on break, and they copy-and-pasted that for Roman/Cody at Mania 38...
9:39 Don't worry Brian. Cause once you watch his storyline on tna, you'll wish he should've stayed as a generic Ref.
I feel like I'm hindsight Roode losing to Angle was actually good. Because it gave us a great heel run and turn by Roode as well as having Storm win the title and a mostly good feud between the 2
1. Don't come at RVD with a chair
2. Don't try to powerbomb Billy Kidman
3. Don't headbutt a Samoan
Are there any other unstated rules of wrestling that I've missed?
Don't do a flying move against Randy Orton.
If you are the British Bulldog don't defend a title against Shawn Michaels.
Don’t go out drinking with Haku
Don't face Lesnar if you're a black world champion
Irwin R. Schyster has fast reflexes.
That Karen Jarrett version sounds like it took the drums from Ragdoll by Aerosmith. 10:08
A classic ppv review on my birthday?? Absolutely perfection.
Happy Birthday
@@claymathewselevator8121 thanks mate
Happy Birthday!
I was getting so excited! Lmao I got my BFGs mixed up. I was thinking this would be the show where Storm and Roode had that awesome street fight. That was 2012. Brian hopefully you cover that show soon!
"Perc" Angle???? Classic, Brian!!!
