So they hire the Chris Barnes imitator and his tag partner and they immediately get a title shot on a PPV?

You referring to Vincent and Dutch? They've been in TNA for 2 months or so and kidnapped Matt Hardy 3 weeks ago. Title shot for revenge makes sense.

Ah. I just saw something on FB that said they're "All TNA" now and thought they were some new arrival from last night. I had no idea they've been there already for awhile.

This is actually Vincent's second TNA run. He was part of the Honor No More faction of ex-ROH wrestlers in TNA. He was kind of like the mad-scientist handler of PCO.

TNA announced they officially signed contracts today.  They showed up at Final Resolution last month, but this will actually be their first match in TNA as a team.

Decent show overall with nothing special really happening, just some mostly solid matches throughout. 

Enjoyed Eddie/JDC, nice farewell sendoff for JDC. Main event was a pretty fun brawl to end the Santana/Kazarian saga.
