Reviews/Thoughts:
Jeff Hardy returns tonight -- although eventually Hardy will be serving 10 days in jail for his drug charges.

Anderson has "bonded" with the Insane Icon Sting. Meanwhile, Devon finally pairs with Pope after hating his guts for a while. Anarquia is annoying on the mic.

Four finalists in BFG series got time to do promos.

Eddie Alvarez on commentary during Eric Young's match. EY dropped his pants to show some ring tights underneath that to throw Robbie off. Flying elbow really has taken off after Randy Savage was killed in the auto crash. EY hit a real good piledriver for the win.

RVD and Jerry Lynn continue their storyline.

World Title time. Good stuff here. No explanation needed. Kurt Angle was involved. Sting was special enforcer for this one. Immortal saves the title for Angle, which was the only lame part.

Knockouts match time with Karen Jarrett flaunting the power. They got more time than a couple of the guy's matches. Not a bad match here. Good use of the mist...or blood...whatever.

Aries promo. But WTF, Kendrick in a nice suit? Oh, Kendrick gets to rip the suit off and likes what he originally wore. And they brawl, of course. X-Division is cool.

Oops. Network does it again. Angle vs. Sting vs. Anderson for the title at No Surrender.

Four Corners match time. Joe comes out, but Morgan cuts him off. Match then actually starts. Bully Ray tells Gunner he's supposed to win. Liked the finish where Gunner pinned Bully Ray.

Jeff Hardy back to the face music. I personally liked the heel music he had before he took that sabbatical from TNA. Hardy basically wants one more shot to prove himself. Nice way to end the show. Short, to the point, and really got the fans into it.
