Ryan and Jeff get together to talk about TNA Against All Odds from 2006! It’s not so much a 1-match show because the rest of the card is bad (to be honest, the show is fine), but because the 1 match stands head and shoulders above the rest of the card. Features Jarrett/Christian, Joe/AJ/Daniels, and half of the card is tag team matches! Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):
