Scrolling thru this thread has inspired me to go back and check out some of the stuff from the 'golden' period of TNA. It's largely a blind spot for me as I'd imagine it is for many who chose to ignore TNA and it's history just due to the stigma the company has.
Anyway, started off by checking out the AJ/Daniels iron man from AAO '05. I gotta be honest, I was embracing myself for disappointment as the clock was winding down. Not that the work was bad or anything, it was actually quite good although a few things did bug me, it just wasn't anything that blew me away or anything I'd really classify as all time great stuff. Thankfully I went into it not knowing there was an overtime period so my reaction of "that was it?" quickly turned into intrigue when the match was restarted. And HOT DAMN did that overtime period put it over the top. Even though it was very brief, it tied the match together perfectly and both guys really executed that finishing narrative brilliantly.
I still don't know if it's something I'd say is in the discussion with the upper echelon stuff in wrestling history, but it was a great match. Gonna check out some of the Joe stuff now.
