Just got done watching it.  For like 8,000 words you can read my full review over at my website, but the basic gist is that the event overall was pretty average.  I think the wrestlers weren't familiar with each other and aren't experienced/skilled enough to put together an entertaining match with someone they don't know well.  Most of the TNA/W-1 matches were just kinda basic.  Not bad, just uninspired, although the matches with the old vets were generally better.  I was really looking forward to Aries/Sanada which apparently was foolish as that match wasn't any good.  Sad face.
