TNA No Surrender 2011

No Surrender ended up with 9 matches by the end of the night:

1. Kid Kash v. Jesse Sorensen - 3 out of 5. Kid Kash won the #1 contender spot for the X-Division Championship.

2. Bully Ray v. James Storm - 4 out of 5. The guys brought it in the first BFG match of the night. Bully Ray won by DQ, miraculously putting him exactly 10 points ahead of both the other men yet to wrestle.

3. Winter v. Mickie James - 3 out of 5. Not sure why Mickie was dressed as Supergirl? But it didn't save her from falling victim to Winter's blood-spitting finisher yet again. Unfortunately, Angelina Love caught it first. I like the Knockouts division, but the back-and-forth is a little tired. We could pick one of these fine ladies and stick with them for a while. Let Winter hold onto it this time!

4. Pope & Devon v. Mexican America - 4 out of 5. Pope and Devon (or as I'll be referring to them, The Clergy) were basically up against the entire faction, and the girls helped keep the tag titles just out of their reach. Rosita delivered a beautiful drop-kick at one point, but Pope was quick with the retribution and bent her over his knee, delivering probably the weakest fake-spanking of all time. Still, there wasn't a moment that the girls weren't diving for a chance to get involved, and this was the first time I actually found myself liking them.

5. Samoa Joe v. Matt Morgan - 2 out of 5. I was prepared to give this a 3 if Joe somehow managed not to job. Alas, his days of killing people are over. Let's just put him in a box and ship him straight to Daniel Bryan.

6. Gunner v. Bobby Roode - 3 out of 5. I kind of expected Gunner to take this one, so it surprised me when he tapped. This of course meant that Roode and Bully Ray were tied in points and a final match would have to happen. More good news came when Bischoff came out and announced that the BFG series would be decided that night. Bobby had just one match to prepare.

7. Austin Aries v. Brian Kendrick - 4 out of 5. As Mehe put it, "Great match, okay end." Austin Aries beat the Wizard of Odd to become the new X-Division champion

8. Bully Ray v. Bobby Roode - 4 out of 5. All of Bully Ray's talk of being the next Heavyweight champion came down to this, and both men put on a great show. I was actually very happy that Roode pulled out the win for this, because this also frees up Bully Ray for that imminent feud with Gunner.

9. Ken Anderson v. Sting v. Kurt Angle - 3 out of 5. Same old, same old. Kurt Angle retained the title. Woo.
