https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ue-32-D8K4 At times, TNAs shows just go nowhere and feature endless replays, promos, flashbacks and other nonsense. However, in the ring, TNAs roster is consistently brilliant. Last weeks TNA Sacrifice event featured a stupefying matchup, as the re-united Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff), took on the TNA Tag Champs The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards). Honestly, this match was hotter than Lucifers recipe for five-alarm chilli. The Wolves are maybe the best tag team working right now - and they have undeniable chemistry with The Hardys. The match was intense, spot-filled and athletically incredible. Throughout the tail end of 2013, Kurt Angle feuded with Bobby Roode in a series of matches that were powerful, explosive and technically excellent. The blow-off match (the aforementioned Steel Cage bout) was worked to perfection, especially as Roode sold the unstoppable Kurt Angles last minute comeback as if he were facing death itself. The James Storm/Gunner feud was thrilling as well, as was Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Sabin in the title tournament, A.J Styles vs. Bully Ray at Bound For Glory and lots more besides. The storylines might be downright baffling, but you can still see quality wrestling matches on any TNA show. And, after all, isnt that what its all about when all is said and done?
