[2005-11-13-TNA-Genesis] Chris Sabin & Matt Bentley & Austin Aries & Sonjay Dutt vs Christopher Daniels & Samoa Joe & Alex Shelley & Roderick Strong (Elimination)

[kewf1988]

Like Joe/Sabin, this is another highly underrated X Division match in the midst of the AJ/Joe/Daniels matches. The story was basically "Will Joe and Daniels coexist?", and unlike the Impact match two weeks ago, they do coexist here, and are the sole survivors, which is the right move. However, things fall apart between Joe and Daniels after the match, as Daniels got the final pin on Sabin, which Joe felt he should have gotten. As a result, Joe destroys Daniels, and gives him the musclebuster on a steel chair, turning Daniels face after a month's hiatus and catapulting Joe into the #1 contendership for the X Division title, which I assume was Joe's reason for wanting the final pin.

 

***3/4 (very good, action packed match, with the purpose being to tease Joe and Daniels getting along, until the end when Joe finally snaps, thus creating the next monster heel)
