Hey. I liked reviewing Hard Justice, so I decided to review this one, too. :) Here are some suggestions:

I think the info about Booker T and the flights might be too descriptive for the lead. I think it is fine in the match description later in the article. How about condensing "The main event was a standard wrestling match involving four competitors known as a Four Ways to Glory match, in which Samoa Joe was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T, Kurt Angle, and Christian Cage, but as a result of Hurricane Ike, all flights out of Houston, Texas were grounded. Booker T, who resides in Houston, could not make it to the event and was pulled from the match, leaving it down to Joe, Angle, and Cage to make it a Three Ways to Glory match, in which Joe was victorious." to "The main event was a standard wrestling match involving four competitors known as a Four Ways to Glory match, in which Samoa Joe was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T, Kurt Angle, and Christian Cage. Booker T, however, was unable to attend the event, making it a Three Ways to Glory match, in which Joe was victorious." The explanation occurs later, so no need to have it twice.

"Next, a match in which a wrestler has to climb a ladder to retrieve an engagement ring—called a Ladder of Love match—for SoCal Val's hand in marriage, in storyline, saw Sonjay Dutt defeat Jay Lethal." - I think it is okay to lose the "in storyline" here, as that is made clear farther down in the article.

I'm assuming the MMA bout was scripted, but since MMA is usually unscripted, it might be good to change the first sentence to "The next encounter pitted A.J. Styles against Frank Trigg in a scripted Mixed Martial Arts bout."

"While Joe was fighting off the hold, Jeff Jarrett entered the arena and walked to the ring with a guitar. He entered the ring and talked to Angle, who then tried to punch Jarrett in the face. Jarrett evaded Angle and cracked him over the head with the guitar, which was followed by Joe placing Angle on the top turnbuckle..." can probably be condensed to "Jeff Jarrett then came down to ringside and interfered in the match by hitting Angle with a guitar, which was followed by Joe placing Angle on the top turnbuckle..."

Otherwise, everything else looks good. Nikki♥311 02:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was a surpise. I did not expect another review this soon and was not expecting No Surrender to get reviewed before Slammiversary. Thanks Nikki? Hopefully this one was easier than Hard Justice.--WillC 03:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This one was much easier than Hard Justice. I'm surprised you thought Slammiversary would get reviewed first since this one is higher up on the GAN list. In any event, I feel comfortable passing this. I'll probably let someone else review Slammiversary, though, to bring in some fresh eyes. Nikki♥311 05:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw Slammiversary being more interesting to review than No Surrender, considering the death that occurred. I'll probably start reviewing soon, since I'm going to be placing alot more on the list to balance out my nominations with reviews, considering the wikicup is coming up I'll have alot on GAN. Well thanks for passing it.--WillC 05:56, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
