Is this the same Sacrifice that was the source of the Steinermath promo?

It was. Then Angle got hurt before the show and Kaz replaced him.

At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.
Is that the one where Kurt says on the hype video "I am in the best shape of my life" then it opens with Kurt listing his current injuries.

Though, being TNA, they didn't mention this at all before the show and then the first segment of the PPV was Kurt coming out to say "I'm injured so I can't wrestle tonight".

At that stage in his career those two things were not incompatible. Kurt was truly hosed up by the time he got to TNA.

Yeah Kurt came to TNA with a neck held together by duct tape, chewing gum, and dreams. It's still amazing he didn't paralyze himself in the ring.

I remember his match with Nakamura in Japan and thinking it couldn’t be the same guy. He almost aged in reverse - that period of extreme painkiller and soma abuse had the weird effect of making him less puffy. His head got smaller and his face got leaner somehow and there is absolutely no life in his eyes.

Haha yeah right he couldnt po.....

I stopped following wrestling a while back but did catch Mania. I had no idea Angle was gonna wrestle and was horrified at the prospect. Then he pulled off a safe and pretty decent match so good for that insane bastard.
Similar with Bryan.

"Ring of Honor went out [WrestleMania weekend] and sold 5,000 tickets, and good for them. But we’re not at that stage. We’re at a stage where we need to get out and connect with every individual fan." - a pretty nice piece leading up to the PPV imo.

D'amore was always the best booker they ever had. He at least knew how to book big show cards that would deliver in-ring, even if the TV leading up was basic and bland.

Impact's quality as a promotion has never been in any way related to it's quality of wrestling. (The wrestling has been very good and very bad at different points, but a lot of the time it's inconsequential to whether the booking/promotion is any good)
