TNA No Surrender 2011 PPV Review thumbnail

By Jared Silberkleit - The frustrating trend of very pedestrian, uneventful PPV outings continued for TNA with No Surrender. Once again, fans received a night of mostly average-at-best, dull, and TV quality wrestling, with nothing particularly memorable at all.
