Victory Road featured nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[5]

Reception
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter named Victory Road as the worst major wrestling show of 2009, while the match between Morasca and Sharmell was named the worst match of 2009 by the same publication and is widely regarded as being among the worst televised professional wrestling matches of all-time.[6][7][8][9] Figure Four Weekly webmaster Bryan Alvarez said on the July 19, 2009 edition of "The Bryan and Vinny Show" that he could not rate any match above two and a half stars, and was critical of the finish to the Beer Money vs. Booker T and Scott Steiner match saying that referee Earl Hebner should not be able to get into a ring faster than James Storm. Alvarez saved his harshest criticism for the Jenna/Sharmell match; not only did he give it a minus five star rating and call it the worst women's match he had ever seen, he said he had been unable to remember the last time he had done so because it had been so long since he had seen a match that bad.[10][11]
The Morasca vs. Sharmell match is widely considered one of the worst matches in wrestling history.
