The Katz Files
Not Necessarily Victory Road

One of several wells to which RNA returns too often is the incessant, repetitive claim that some event “will change everything” for the promotion. It’s true that pay per views sometimes bring seismic upheavals, but TNA hypes events “that will change everything” more often than some people change their underwear.

Victory Road changed nothing. That’s not an accusation; it’s a statement of fact.

OK, that might be an exaggerated statement of fact. A few things did change, like Angelina Love winning back the Knockout Championship on a swerve even lamer than the way Tara lost it a couple of months ago.

It’s fairer to say that nothing really important changed at Victory Road. It’s also fair to ay that Victory Road delivered a lot of exciting action. I graded Victory Rod a B/B+ with a strong top-to-bottom card. Even the Jay Lethal-Ric Flair match wasn’t quite the total calamity many of us expected.

A pay per view doesn’t have to “change everything” if the matches are hot.

In the spirit of that declaration, I’ve decided to devote this edition of The Katz Files to all the things that didn’t happen at TNA’s July pay per view. (The next installment of The Katz Files will analyze and interpret some of the things that actually did occur at Victory Road.)
