TNA Impact 12/30/10 Review

The last impact of 2010, and I was very tired this morning. I haven't made any sales on this site from amazon, I still have no job, and earlier this morning the only video of Superstars had an AWA track on it, so that's why there's no review for Superstars this week.

Here are my thoughts of TNA.

TNA had Foley chants piped in with this entrance music, it sounded so fake.

Mick Foley and Anderson got in the ring and started talking, I didn't care. Matt Morgan came out and he got involved too. The whole point of this was to further set up the match between Anderson and Matt Morgan. Of course, Anderson's concussion.

Robert Roode defeated Chris Sabin

This match wasn't half bad. It featured a lot of back and forth wrestling, and lots of spots where Sabin looked far better than Roode. I couldn't believe how good Roode reacted to a great deal of the offense from Sabin. Sabin tried to go to the top too many times, because Roode was able to catch him and deliver a nice spine buster and picked up the win. This was probably the best match I've seen on TNA in a long time.

The backstage segments with Orlando Jordan and Erik Young sucks. Shark boy showed up and it was funny.

Rob Van Dam defeated Robbie E

Not a good match here, and Rob Van dam looked winded early. Robbie E was buried here. It wasn't a very good match. You could imagine what happened here, RVD's move set isn't very big and Robbie E is just hanging on by a thread since losing the x-division title.

Post match, Jeff Hardy got on the screen and said RVD had to pass a test at Genesis. They didn't reveal who the opponent was, but if RVD won, he'd get a shot at Jeff Hardy.

Sarita defeated Velvet Sky in a Leather Strap Match

This was just weird. This leather strap match had some interesting points, but it wasn't a great wrestling match up. A lot of points looked like it legit hurt. This match had very little wrestling, it was just a brawl until Sarita won by hitting the 4th corner. The concept is ok, but in action it was just boring.

Jeff Jarrett vs Amazing Red's Brother

Amazin Red's supposed brother came out for the Double J challenge. It ended with Amazing Red smashing a guitar. This was stupid...I hate Jarrett, so maybe he's doing his job well.

Aj Styles & Rob Terry defeated Magnus & Douglas Williams

This match was boring to me. However, the ending was awesome. Aj Styles put Magnus through the Rolling Chaos Theory finisher and I was marking out huge. That was the best part of this match up. HOpefullly Aj loses at Genesis, cause i can't stand his gimmick.

Madison Rayne came to the ring in an evening gown. Mickie James came down and beat her up than stripped her of her dress. Yep. Hardcore Country! I don't care about these women.

Matt Morgan & Devon defeated Ken Anderson & Bubba Ray

This match wasn't that great either. There was some nice back and forth action. Ray and Bubba didn't fight much as Bubba kept running from Devon. Anderson and Morgan work well together. The ending was interesting, Matt Morgan tried to clobber Devon, I think, I don't know, but he ended up hitting Anderson in the back of the head, nearly knocking out Anderson.

Matt Morgan apparently had a heel swerve here? I don't know, it seemed weird. We'll see what will happen sooner than later.

The show was convoluted, there were a lot of things pushed forward here, but no sign of the x-division, and not a lot of great wrestling. It was better than most weeks of Impact, but not nearly as good as WWE's Raw this week.
