- Samoa Joe looked much better when he had his Elvis Presley hair-do- In the same token, CM Punk looked weird with bleach-blond hair
- Adam Pearce likes to make gay slurs a whole lot
- The Styles Clash looked as weak as a finishing move then as it does now
- If I were big into the indie scene back when these matches were first taking place, Joe would probably have been my favorite wrestler
- Super Dragon looked like he was ready to go right to a pajama party after his matches were over
- I could watch Bryan Danielson and Joe all day long, in any environment, any stipulation
- Frankie Kazarian is a better brawler than he is an X-Division spotmonkey
- Pearce could play Arn Anderson in a Four Horsemen Tribute Band (if that makes any sense)
- I wouldn't want to take a Psycho Driver anytime, anywhere, at all
- Punk was as effective a heel to the indie crowds as he is to the WWE today
- In fact, Punk should never, ever be a babyface, ever
- The boot scrapes into the running boot scrape in the corner may be Joe's best spot, and he's got more than a few great spots
- Jack Evans has a face that even a mother would want to punch
- It's acceptable to have your main event title match end on the challenger getting counted out, but don't expect the Reseda crowd to see it your way
- Christopher Daniels has to be a fallen angel for real, for real, because he made Evans look good
- PWG is definitely an awesome fed
- TNA really doesn't know how to put on a wrestling promotion
I can't wait to dive into the next two discs on this set. Really, really good stuff. A caveat though, I really didn't like the commentary. It seemed too low-key and boring. The two guys didn't sound enthused at all, so I just had it off for the most part. It really doesn't diminish the quality of the matches, especially on the disc opener, Joe vs. Danielson. The banter, especially in that match, is awesome. It's also funny how good the TNA guys on this disc look here and how shitty, rushed and blatantly choreographed they look on Impact (if they're lucky to snake time away from Bischoff, and before he got there, the MEM and others).
