TNA Impact was once again mediocre, but it had some shining spots, especially with some new blood coming in from New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Rhino defeated Lance Rock
There was no possible way that Lance Rock was going to beat Rhino. Rhino basically took a few shots from Lance Rock then gored him for the easy win. I hate these jobber style matches, it just shows that the TNA writers are lazy.
Chris Sabin defeated Sonjay Dutt
Overall another ok match up. Sonjay was in a lot of control over this match up and Sabin looked really weak, however there was a Sabin comeback towards the end of this match which made the fans start to cheer a little and things were looking great for him. The match went back to Dutt’s favor as he countered a flurry of offense from Sabin, but Sabin managed to turn things around and deliver the Cradle Shock, to move forward in the x-division tournament.
Booker T & Scott Steiner defeated Abyss and Matt Morgan
I’m tired of seeing Morgan and Abyss together. These two idiots are terrible, and they are so slow in there. Tie in a very slow Scott Steiner and we have a boredom movement of epic proportions. This match up was ok at best, Morgan pulled most of the weight early on and Abyss came in to mix things up. The match of course went to plunder with Booker T running in with a lead pipe, knocking out Morgan and then getting the victory after a scissor’s kick. This is ridiculous, Abyss sucks, expect a Matt Morgan heel turn on Abyss sooner than later.
Kiyoshi defeated Consequences Creed
Kiyoshi put on a clinic, from New Japan, he came out and put Creed through the ringer, and really impressed me completely. He really reminded me of The Great Muta as he was pushing through some great moves out there, and with an impressive debut he defeated Creed and moved on in the x-division tournament.
Christy Hemme & ODB defeated Raisha Saeed & Raka Khan
Apparently this was some sort of street fight or something, I wasn’t paying attention. Christy Hemme got the pin with a one legged fire crotch guillotine, and it was over. It was a fast, jobber style match. No plunder was introduced and that was that. A boring knockouts match, I never thought I’d say that.
Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Sting & Kevin Nash
A tag team steel cage match! This is awesome! These guys really put on a show, but it was too short, and it was lame. I wanted this match to last a lot longer and have more blood, but it was relatively slow and easy for the good guys.
The post match effort was good, but overall this match blew chunk. Can I say that? I guess.
