So has anyone seen this yet? Good? Worth getting?
I'm wondering, because it looks like Netflix isn't getting this one, so buying it looks to be the only choice. None of the Redboxes around here carry WWE DVDs ever.

But A.J. Styles is the face of TNA. ???

I look at wrestlers in a broader sense and not just by the company they are signed for in general.
Aside from that, I USED to like TNA back in the FSN and internet stream days. But after Spike TV picked it up and the poor management running the show, I lost interest. It's to bad because there are some very talented young athletes in the organization. To bad they pay to much attention to the older ones that can't wrestle as good as they used to or can't at all!
But that's just me. WWE is not perfect either!

For the most part I agree with you. But in this particular case, not so much. You can't really seperate A.J. Styles from TNA because he's the face of TNA. Much like you can't really seperate John Cena from (PG) WWE.
And dear god, those old TNA shows were bad. I wasn't around, and ordering them weekly. But I relived it through the TNA Year One DVD and TNA Asylum Years DVD, and that stuff was so dull and dry. The ring-work I could see was good, unfortunately the bad production values, shoddy camera work, and fly-by-the-minute with no plan commentating killed any good it had.
I for one am very glad that someone like Dixie came along and put some money behind everything. Despite the popular opinion being that anything that goes big "sells-out", a little production value actually helps a lot, especially when we're talking about spectacle-type entertainment like pro-wrestling.
I'll admit that things took a nose-dive after Bischoff and Hogan signed on, though. The entire Immortal storyline was far too drawn out and felt like they were beating a dead-horse (nWo version 6.0 or whatever they were on).
After they got that crap out of the way, things have been looking up again. Guys like Austin Aries, A.J. Styles, Bobby Rhoode, and Bad Influence are shining as they should and giving us killer matches.

Dang, now I want this one, as well! And again, not on Netflix. They don't even have a listing for it.
Did Netflix lose it's deal with WWE or something? Am I gonna have to switch to Blockbuster Online or Hulu?
Anyone seen this one, either?

Damn, Damien Sandow got buried, like 6 feet under. That was tough to watch.
Super-Cena is back. Looks like we're going back to WWE mediocrity again.
Man, it was nice while it lasted, though, wasn't it?
