TNA Destination X 2010 Review
Alright, I’m late on all TNA news because of the ppv and well, I had a lot of WWE stuff to work on. Even though I’m late on the NXT review too, man, I’m behind all around.
Kaz defeated Amazing Red, Christopher Daniels, and Brian Kendrick in a ladder match
First and foremost, Christopher Daniel’s ring attire looked gay.
The match was fast paced, as expected, and there were just highlight reels of offense from all men. Even Kendrick seemed to be working harder than usual. Amazing Red had some of the best counters, as he is one of the best cruiserweights I’ve ever seen. His timing is amazing, and even though he didn’t win, he put on a show. Kendrick was the weakest of all of them, and I still don’t like Kaz, even though he took a lot of bumps with the ladder. Daniels is a shell of his former gimmick, that’s for sure.
The guys were working sloppy with the ladders, and it should be noted that the ladders are NOT metal. They are hard plastic/wood with metal rungs! They’ve been re-painted and are most likely the Werner brand.
Amazing Red nearly killed himself and Daniels with a Hurricanrana off the top rope to the outside off a ladder! Kaz took some insane bumps with the ladder, the rest were somewhat timid; reminds me of when Los Guerreros fought The World’s Greatest Tag Team in a ladder match, and only the Guerrero’s would bump with the ladders.
Kazarian managed to get the win, but I didn’t think the ending matched the mid points of the match. Kaz sucks…I don’t like him. Red looked legit hurt.
Ric Flair came out and cut a promo in a wheel chair, and he was going nuts.
Hogan and Abyss talked, it was boring.
Bischoff showed off his hair cut, talked to Hogan, was boring too.
Tara defeated Daffney in the TNA Knockout’s Title Match
Daffney was hitting Tara with everything in this match, and I admit, I was cheering for her to win. I like how pale she is, I’m weird, I guess. Tara hit a nice singing side suplex and couldn’t put away the goth chick. Daffney hit a nice finisher, but Tara wasn’t going to lose easily. Tara hit the Widow’s Peak and won this match cleanly.
Big Rob defeated Magnus in the global title match
Big Rob is on the juice, he’s massive, and it’s not looking natural to me. Magnus put on a minor offense against Big Rob, but this was obvious going to be a Big Rob win. Big Rob hit a nice slam on Magnus and that was that.
The Motor city Machine Guns defeated Generation ME in an Ultimate X Match
These two teams do not need to be in a gimmick match up like this. Generation ME put on a clinic, and really showed off why they deserve to be in TNA. The Machine Guns looked to be taking it easy at some points and just over confident, where as ME was taking this thing as their only chance at proving themselves. One team just seemed more urgent about this match up. Sure, The Machine Guns are no crap team, but if I had to take my pick it’d be Generation Me, most likely because I knew them back in Los Angeles’s indie wrestling scene.
The match was a spotfest, and the best team I guess didn’t win, with the Machine Guns winning this match.
Scott Hall & Six Pac defeated Erik Young & Kevin Nash
This match wasn’t all that good, but it was done well. Pac threw down some amazing athleticism and it’s important to realize that the guy can really go if given a chance. Meanwhile, Hall lowered the Boom on Young several times, and it looked like he was working stiff. Hall didn’t look THAT out of shape, but he is a shell of his former self for sure. At least he’s not MATT HARDY Fat.
Nash turned his back on Erik Young, hit a huge powerbomb, than Hall hit the Outsider’s Edge and won this match. Young got trounced, and the old guys are now together again. Man, Hall needs to work out more.
Post match, Pac spray painted a body outline of Young in the middle of the ring. The crowd was yelling “Same Old Shit”, and they were most likely right.
Doug Williams defeated Shannon Moore in the X-Division Title Match
Shannon Moore is not my favorite light weight, and I’ve never been a big fan. However, he did manage to bring in some offense on a much better Doug Williams. Williams did some good stuff, and managed to save his title in this match against the relative new comer Moore. Williams used a foreign object then painted Moore’s face with some make up.
Matt Morgan & Hernandez defeated Beer Money
Beer Money was looking great as usual in this match up. Hernandez was isolated for the majority of this match up, and it was looking like a Matt Morgan heel turn was going to come down, but it didn’t manifest itself until later in the match. He started berating Hernandez with words, while Hernandez tried to take the majority of Beer Money’s offense.
Hernandez got tagged in and went flying, and Morgan threw Hernandez back into the ring, only to get sprayed in the face with beer! I thought this match was over at this point, but Hernandez was able to hit his finisher and get the three count for his team.
Post match Matt Morgan hit the Carbon Footprint on Hernandez. He then took both title belts.
Kurt Angle defeated Anderson
This match was a long drawn out battle between these two long feuding wrestlers. Anderson looked like he had problems getting Angle down, but eventually got rhythm and was hitting Angle with a lot of offense. Angle didn’t just lie down, he managed to battle through a lot of it, and eventually was looking to score the win, but couldn’t put away Anderson. A ref bump sent this match into an odd point, and Anderson was looking to capitalize but Kurt was able to hit a nice release German Suplex Anderson down. Anderson was then scraped across the face with the Warrior metal, busting Anderson open.
The match ended when the ref woke up and Angle caused Anderson to tap out. Angle’s win ends the feud doesn’t it? I don’t know. This match was sub-par, but it managed to get Anderson what he had coming.
Post match Anderson cut a promo, but it was worthless to me, because he lost and was a bloody mess. Why Kurt didn’t just walk away was weird to me. Kurt should’ve just not cared, cause he already beat Anderson.
Aj Styles vs Abyss No Contest
These two put on an ok match up. I’ve seen better out of both of these guys. Aj was his standard self, not really resembling Nature Boy at all, which was odd to me. Abyss hulked up eventually and this match took better shape, but it took a long time to get there. Ric Flair was on the ramp in a wheel chair and wasn’t too involved until towards the latter stages. Abyss hit the Blackhole Slam and he couldn’t get the win.
Flair got hit in the face with some sort of spray from Flair, and then threw the belt into the ring for Styles to use. Styles hit the Abyss with the belt and Hogan came out with a new ref.
Hogan then wheeled Flair out while the match started up again.
Towards the end of the match I realized two things.
1) AJ Styles Sucks. He doesn’t have that “IT” factor to be champion.
2) Abyss sucks, he’s just a mankind clone with a terrible gimmick right now.
While some of the fans cared, I just found this immensely boring. Maybe the Pope can make Aj Interesting.
Abyss threw AJ Styles through the ring and this match was stopped. It looked incredibly weak and stupid. This gimmick sucks and really shouldn’t be featured as the final moment of a ppv.
Post match Flair and Hogan started fighting Flair. Flair got sprayed in the face with his own spray, Chelsea got involved, Desmond Wolfe came down only to get sprayed in the face with something and then fell in the big hole in the ring.
What a terrible second half of the ppv. Screw this crap.
TNA’s DESTINATION X Sucked!

Tna Impact 1/4/10 Results and Review Hogan Shows Up and More
TNA Impact was a huge talked about show. Hogan and his idiots showed up and a lot of things were to be shaken up. There was a lot of talk about this show, and how it ran up against raw, like Nitro used to. Did it deliver?
Maybe.

Tna Impact 1/4/10 Review
“Time for a change” is the title card we get, like this was an old television show, and that right off the bat sucks, I hate that. The main song “rap core” style is still there, and we go straight to the event! The ring wasn’t shown right away, but everyone was talking about whether or not the ring would change shape, and well?
Bubba The Love Sponge got a job, he’s the new broadcast helper, and the show immediately turned straight to pre-taped segments from earlier of fans dogging WWE. Bubba The Love Sponge talking to all sorts of idiots, and it’s seriously terrible. These fans aren’t smarks that’s for sure, but who cares right? I don’t.
The ring is NOT four sides, it’s still six sides.
Motor City Machine Guns, Homicide, Kiyoshi, Black Machismo, Consequences Creed, Suicide, and Amazing Red fought in a steel asylum match, to a no contest
The rules of a Steel Asylum match really aren’t crazy. You can only win by leaving the six sided, red colored cage. There’s an opening at the top, and well, it isn’t one of Tna’s strong suit.
The action in this match was hard to follow, as Tazz said. The camera angles kept changing on me, and it was hard to see who was hitting who and what spot was getting hit next, but I did notice something major. For this match to go on, and for the wrestlers to get in some action, 6 of the competitors had to just lay down and do nothing or simply wait in the corner and watch. That allowed for two wrestlers to fight in the center, which makes for a somewhat boring match. It’s supposed to be a free for all, yet it has no major likeness to a traditional free for all, if that makes sense. It’s almost like the Royal Rumble, when it gets towards the end, where people take their time and get out of the way to let the center take stage.
That’s not to say there weren’t some cool spots, especially off the cage, but this thing wasn’t always action packed. Homicide had a police baton and struck his own partner and others. The bell started to ring, and this is why TNA sucks.
Inside of a STEEL CAGE, Homicide got disqualified. That’s right, disqualified inside a six sided cage with a top on it! The fans were chanting “This is Bull Shit” and it’s true, TNA shoots itself in the foot on their “epic” show, and the fans were letting him know, and it was getting bleeped out.
Post match Homicide had a hard time getting out of the cage, and to cover the rest of the guys in the match started to climb the ring and he had to get back down. As they all started to fight Homicide, someone’s music hit and guess who came out? JEFF HARDY! Jeff Hardy came through the crowd, over the rails, and was immediately attacked by Homicide. I KID YOU NOT! Homicide and Jeff Hardy, and Jeff hits Homicide with an unprotected CHAIR SHOT! JEFF HARDY comes back to TNA and this definitely is a shocker because rumors had it that Jeff and Punk were headed for a match at Wrestlemania, but apparently Hardy is back on TNA! How weird is that? Anyways, Jeff Hardy is in TNA, Homicide got knocked the hell out, and TNA tries to swerve the internet, but to no avail.
Shannon Moore was also shown on television backstage greeting Hardy after his major debut in TNA. So apparently they are both in TNA now? Whatever. Hogan was not at the show from the beginning, the camera’s cut to a limo and claimed that it was Hulk Hogan coming to the impact zone, and he had two police motorcycle cruisers.
Christy Hemme interviewed Kevin Nash backstage and it her forehead was gleaming like usual along side her face, and skin tight body suit. Wow, how can Big Sexy resist? He wasn’t in “Nash mode” he was just randomly rambling about how great Hulk Hogan was and how great it is to have him in the show. He then talked about how Hogan is going to be making him a lot more money, so he was excited…though not showing much emotion.
ODB defeated TARA in a TNA Knockout’s Championship match
This match started out like it would be an instant classic, with Tara using her martial arts background to get some hits in on ODB and I was interested to see how far this match would go in regards to women’s wrestling. However, it wasn’t that good as within a few minutes this match was over with ODB rolling up Tara and holding the tights to get a win. I can not stress the fact enough, this match was really short. The knockouts are turning into the divas before our eyes. TNA is really making a mistake with this division, if they continue to allow short lived matches like this to progress, especially since they have more talent than the divas…or had more talent.
Post match, ODB got hit with the Widow’s Peak and Tara put her Tarantula on ODB and then we cut to the backstage area.
Backstage out of a limousine, came none other than NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR! No, not a cut out, but seriously, RIC FLAIR on camera!
The show comes back to footage of earlier, and it’s Mick Foley getting barred from the Impact zone. Hemme was out there in a skin tight suit…in broad day light. He was not allowed interest into the Impact Zone, and that was it.
Bobby Lashley came out with his wife, and it was weird. His wife cut a huge heel promo, and started to pull the “Vickie Guerrero” card. The crowd immediately turned, and was booing the crap out of Lashley and his wife. She said that he wants his release from TNA and that this was the last time we will see Lashley in TNA.
Backstage, The Beautiful People were in some closet somewhere playing poker. They then started to attempt at the most unsexy strip poker bit, and it was boring…then we finally get thrown a bone, no pun intended, we cut to commercial. Wow, the Beautiful people sucked (once again no pun intended) the life out of me and what little interest I had in the show up to this point.
Backstage, Waltman and Scott Hall were trying to get in. Security wasn’t letting them in so they started fighting the security guards and it was broken up. Looks like the Outsiders can’t come in easily.
After another series of commercial breaks, out came Waltman and Scott Hall. Then we get another set of commercials! I definitely was annoyed at the amount of commercials they cut into this lame show.
Then we get back to TNA Impact and it’s Hall and Waltman again in the crowd, then we get another set of commercials! It was definitely the most annoying thing in a long time.
After the set of commercials, and one hour into the show only 2 matches in, out came Hulk Hogan! This is what they wanted, and the crowd? It wasn’t anti-hogan but it wasn’t roaring, that’s for sure. It still was a good pop, but nothing like I’ve heard in my youth while cheering him on from the rafters. The Hogan change shirt looked cool though.
Hogan got on the mic and started to talk about how TNA is going to be #1. Mid way through his speech out came Hall and Waltman and security tried to stop them. But Hogan let them through, and they did the N.W.O signal and got mics. “HEY YO” got a nice pop, and I marked out huge…for a second. Hall seems to be ok with keeping his accent like Razor Ramon. Hall and Waltman wanted to party and get big paychecks, and this whole segment just seemed so forced. I didn’t really like it, but eh, what are you gonna do? Remember the last time “The Kings of Wrestling” came out? It was terrible. This time was headed down that road, and I wasn’t sure if they were going to recover, then some random music hit, and guess who it was?
Kevin Nash came down to ringside, and he was not looking too excited. This show was starting to resemble the South Park parody episode of wrestling, and seriously, I was having a hard time getting into it. I kept thinking about how WCW died with these four in control, and WWE threw them out. Hogan kept trying to saying, “we need to change things for the better” and stuff like, “we can’t be like we were once, we need to grow up”, which got some crowd response, but eh, so what. Some more random music hit…oh man…
Out came Eric Bischoff, and the crowd went nuts. I’m so tired of this show already! Bischoff was in the ring with a mic on Hogan’s side and they started talking about how old times changed wrestling forever and what not. Nash, Waltman, and Hall left the ring after Bischoff said that everyone had to earn their place in TNA and that was that, I guess. The live crowd ate it up, but not me. They kept saying that it was time for a Change but nothing was changing, and then we revisit the old storyline with Sting in the rafters and the announcers going nuts about how he’s been missing for months. I didn’t like the angle in WCW that much, except for when Sting would show up and mop up, leading up to Starrcade 97’ and the no-end finish with Hogan and Piper and everyone involved. Wait, that might have been, no it was 1997 Starrcade.
Awesome Kong & Hamada defeated Taylor Wilde & Sarita in a tna knockouts tag team championship match
This match started slow, but picked up into a good opening with Sarita and Wilde trying to do serious double team maneuvers, but Kong was too much for the two of them, at least initially. Backstage the Motor City Machine Guns were knocked out, and the announcers went wild for that, taking us out of the match for a moment. The match continued and there was a double Suicide Dive by Sarita and a huge cross body block by Taylor Wilde onto their opponents outside, and I was definitely impressed as usual by the knockouts. However, we go to yet another commercial break, right when the action was getting really good. After the break, Awesome Kong was in full control, and it was obvious that the tag champs were going to have a hard time with Kong, but Sarita hit a nice springboard second rope dropkick and Kong showed signs that she was indeed human in a nice bump, I couldn’t believe how fluid Kong was in this match up, and that bump proved it greatly for me. Hamada knocked out Taylor Wilde on the outside, and Kong lifted up Sarita into the Awesome Bomb position, as Hamada hit her with a huge Missile Dropkick! What’s this? A TAG TEAM FINISHER? YES YES YES! I marked out huge for this match, as it really made me a fan of wrestling again. These women get match of the night up to this point, wow…finally some legit wrestling on the show!
We cut backstage to Val Venis! That’s right, Val Venis joins the Beautiful People in a game of strip poker. So Val Venis is in TNA now? Wow.
Guess who else showed up? It’s Mick Foley and none other than The Nasty Boys! Yes, THE NASTY BOYS, BOTH OF THEM! Sags and Knobs, the Nasty Boys were both backstage and trying to get in. They didn’t get in, and were thrown out.
Now for the rewind to 1995 here was Raven & Doctor Stevie. They would face Matt Morgan and Hernandez, and the only thing I personally liked was Daffney, she’s my type….the kind that I have no chance with…ziiiing!
Hernandez & Matt Morgan defeated Doctor Stevie & Raven
This match was a non issue, it was possibly one of the shortest matches I’ve seen in a long time. The match had Richards getting a Carbon Blueprint and pinned. That’s it. Seriously, that’s it. What a stupid waste of time.
Backstage The Pope was with Hemme and a random interview. I don’t hate it, but I don’t necessarily like it, especially after the terrible match that just happened. Orlando Jordan showed up, I think…maybe? I’m not 100% sure if it was him or not, but it was interesting. Elijah Burke has some competition now, in an interesting segment that went from the bottom to the top, I started to get interested, then we cut to the ring, and it fell apart again.
D’Angelo Dinero defeated Desmond Wolfe
It started raining money, well, fake stuff like the old JBL bucks. I wish I had some of those, that’s for sure. (The Jbl Bucks) This match started with what are usually called rest holds. Dinero was in rough shape against Wolfe early on, but Dinero got some interesting offense in before this match got too one sided. Wolfe went for the Tower of London but got reversed into an escape and Dinero then confused Wolfe into a small package, and this match was over. This wasn’t a great match, but Dinero had some quick counters, which made it a little more interesting than I’ve would’ve thought possible from these two. I’m still not convinced that Desmond Wolfe is worth his position in TNA as I’ve yet to see him do anything major in ring. Sure he can attack backstage and what not, but in ring? I’m not convinced.
Rhino backstage was laid out too.
Jeff Jarrett was backstage too.
Aj Styles was doing an interview, and Eric Bischoff interrupted and made Aj Styles vs Kurt Angle for the main event, for the world title, which was supposed to be the Genesis main event, but we’ll see what happens.
Jeff Jarrett came down to ringside, mic in hand, and you know we were going to hear from him…again. He basically was bragging about how TNA has come a long way and that they are going to the number one spot. They keep telling me that there was going to be change, but I have yet to see it. This show is boring me now, I’m tired of hearing about change and seeing nothing, just like Obama.
Hulk Hogan interrupted Jarrett. The crowd was chanting Bullshit for the second time tonight, and it’s interesting. Hogan started to talk about how the young guys were going to get the push now, and that Jarrett sucks. Hogan’s act is already tired, I’m tired, I couldn’t wait to see what Raw had for tonight because this sucks now. I’m sick of hearing Hogan’s voice and his random “change” speeches that keep popping up throughout this show.
Daniels was having an interview and JB rushed in and got in the way, the interview ended and Mick Foley busted in and JB let him…kind of.
Shannon Moore and Jeff Hardy were backstage painting a picture…I kid you not, and they had a “meeting” with the big man, whatever that means.
Samoa Joe defeated Abyss
Joe started this match street-fight style, with a lot of punches and kicks, and this match slowly escalated into a more wrestling-oriented match up. Abyss couldn’t get his bearings up front, and Joe was relentless in his high impact offense. Eventually Abyss started to get more offense in, with a strongside slam, big splashes into the corner and charges, dropping Joe several times. Abyss hit a nice chokeslam, catching Joe off the top rope, and things weren’t looking good for the submission master Joe. Abyss took a sick head shot with a chair, and afterwards got hit with Joe’s finisher, he kept reaching for the ropes and it looked like he was going to make it, but he tapped out. Overall this match was definitely a physical one, but it didn’t top that women’s tag title’s match up, which was way more solid by comparison.
Bischoff backstage had to deal with Lashley’s wife. It was a stupid segment.
Bubba the Love Sponge was backstage and Beer Money was laid out cold.
The Nasty Boys finally got into the arena, with help from Bubba.
Backstage Jeff Hardy kissed some tweens and gave them a painting. Then himself and Shannon Moore left in a Lamborghini, each had envelopes…and that was that.
The Nasty Boys tore up the Dudley’s dressing room, and spray painted the walls with “Nasty”. This was definitely interesting, but aren’t the Nasty Boys really old? I thought so.
Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a TNA World Heavyweight Title Match
This match started fast and it seemed somewhat old to me. I felt like I’ve already seen this match many times. A masked man came in and knocked out AJ and the Ref, Kurt started to fight him and he fell outside the ring. I heard the Masked man is Tyson Tomko. The match restarted and the two started to fight each other. FYI the masked man angle has been done many times before. Remember Sting and the Black Scorpion? Remember DDP in WWE? Yeah, it’s a tired gimmick.
I gotta give TNA credit this match wasn’t rushed, it wasn’t short, and it had a lot of wrestling for a free television match up for the title. Angle looked hurt towards the end of this match up, Styles was having a hard time putting the Olympic Gold Medalist away. Styles hit the Styles Clash, and after a near fall Angle was set up for another one but Angle reversed it into an Ankle Lock. It was a no go, and Ric Flair came out to the ramp to watch this match first hand. Styles hit the sweetest 450 splash I’ve seen in a LONG time! The match continued with some great counters by both men, and a lot of near falls. I’m not into the big near falls, as I think it kind of ruins finishers for people, but whatever. Styles hit a nice springboard splash and Angle was done, Styles retains the title in what would’ve been match of the night for me, if the Knockouts didn’t floor me with their tag title match earlier on.
After the match Hogan came out to talk on the mic but was interrupted, and backstage was Mick Foley looking for Hogan. Hogan ran away from the ramp to head backstage. Foley ran into Bischoff and was basically fired, well, almost. The outsiders beat up Mick Foley backstage. Hogan was left standing there looking like an idiot.
TNA’s January 4 impact wasn’t that great. It had two major matches that I liked, a lot of and I do mean a lot of filler. Lots of talk of change, with no major change. I liked the show, but it wasn’t worth all that hype I had to sift through the last couple of weeks. We’ll see if TNA does in fact change things up ahead, if not, then oh well.
Maybe.

They then started to attempt at the most unsexy strip poker bit, and it was boring…then we finally get thrown a bone, no pun intended, we cut to commercial. Wow, the Beautiful people sucked (once again no pun intended) the life out of me and what little interest I had in the show up to this point.
Backstage, Waltman and Scott Hall were trying to get in. Security wasn’t letting them in so they started fighting the security guards and it was broken up. Looks like the Outsiders can’t come in easily.
After another series of commercial breaks, out came Waltman and Scott Hall. Then we get another set of commercials! I definitely was annoyed at the amount of commercials they cut into this lame show.
Then we get back to TNA Impact and it’s Hall and Waltman again in the crowd, then we get another set of commercials! It was definitely the most annoying thing in a long time.
After the set of commercials, and one hour into the show only 2 matches in, out came Hulk Hogan! This is what they wanted, and the crowd? It wasn’t anti-hogan but it wasn’t roaring, that’s for sure. It still was a good pop, but nothing like I’ve heard in my youth while cheering him on from the rafters. The Hogan change shirt looked cool though.
Hogan got on the mic and started to talk about how TNA is going to be #1. Mid way through his speech out came Hall and Waltman and security tried to stop them. But Hogan let them through, and they did the N.W.O signal and got mics. “HEY YO” got a nice pop, and I marked out huge…for a second. Hall seems to be ok with keeping his accent like Razor Ramon. Hall and Waltman wanted to party and get big paychecks, and this whole segment just seemed so forced. I didn’t really like it, but eh, what are you gonna do? Remember the last time “The Kings of Wrestling” came out? It was terrible. This time was headed down that road, and I wasn’t sure if they were going to recover, then some random music hit, and guess who it was?
Kevin Nash came down to ringside, and he was not looking too excited. This show was starting to resemble the South Park parody episode of wrestling, and seriously, I was having a hard time getting into it. I kept thinking about how WCW died with these four in control, and WWE threw them out. Hogan kept trying to saying, “we need to change things for the better” and stuff like, “we can’t be like we were once, we need to grow up”, which got some crowd response, but eh, so what. Some more random music hit…oh man…
Out came Eric Bischoff, and the crowd went nuts. I’m so tired of this show already! Bischoff was in the ring with a mic on Hogan’s side and they started talking about how old times changed wrestling forever and what not. Nash, Waltman, and Hall left the ring after Bischoff said that everyone had to earn their place in TNA and that was that, I guess. The live crowd ate it up, but not me. They kept saying that it was time for a Change but nothing was changing, and then we revisit the old storyline with Sting in the rafters and the announcers going nuts about how he’s been missing for months. I didn’t like the angle in WCW that much, except for when Sting would show up and mop up, leading up to Starrcade 97’ and the no-end finish with Hogan and Piper and everyone involved. Wait, that might have been, no it was 1997 Starrcade.
Awesome Kong & Hamada defeated Taylor Wilde & Sarita in a tna knockouts tag team championship match
This match started slow, but picked up into a good opening with Sarita and Wilde trying to do serious double team maneuvers, but Kong was too much for the two of them, at least initially. Backstage the Motor City Machine Guns were knocked out, and the announcers went wild for that, taking us out of the match for a moment. The match continued and there was a double Suicide Dive by Sarita and a huge cross body block by Taylor Wilde onto their opponents outside, and I was definitely impressed as usual by the knockouts. However, we go to yet another commercial break, right when the action was getting really good. After the break, Awesome Kong was in full control, and it was obvious that the tag champs were going to have a hard time with Kong, but Sarita hit a nice springboard second rope dropkick and Kong showed signs that she was indeed human in a nice bump, I couldn’t believe how fluid Kong was in this match up, and that bump proved it greatly for me. Hamada knocked out Taylor Wilde on the outside, and Kong lifted up Sarita into the Awesome Bomb position, as Hamada hit her with a huge Missile Dropkick! What’s this? A TAG TEAM FINISHER? YES YES YES! I marked out huge for this match, as it really made me a fan of wrestling again. These women get match of the night up to this point, wow…finally some legit wrestling on the show!
We cut backstage to Val Venis! That’s right, Val Venis joins the Beautiful People in a game of strip poker. So Val Venis is in TNA now? Wow.
Guess who else showed up? It’s Mick Foley and none other than The Nasty Boys! Yes, THE NASTY BOYS, BOTH OF THEM! Sags and Knobs, the Nasty Boys were both backstage and trying to get in. They didn’t get in, and were thrown out.
Now for the rewind to 1995 here was Raven & Doctor Stevie. They would face Matt Morgan and Hernandez, and the only thing I personally liked was Daffney, she’s my type….the kind that I have no chance with…ziiiing!
Hernandez & Matt Morgan defeated Doctor Stevie & Raven
This match was a non issue, it was possibly one of the shortest matches I’ve seen in a long time. The match had Richards getting a Carbon Blueprint and pinned. That’s it. Seriously, that’s it. What a stupid waste of time.
Backstage The Pope was with Hemme and a random interview. I don’t hate it, but I don’t necessarily like it, especially after the terrible match that just happened. Orlando Jordan showed up, I think…maybe? I’m not 100% sure if it was him or not, but it was interesting. Elijah Burke has some competition now, in an interesting segment that went from the bottom to the top, I started to get interested, then we cut to the ring, and it fell apart again.
D’Angelo Dinero defeated Desmond Wolfe
It started raining money, well, fake stuff like the old JBL bucks. I wish I had some of those, that’s for sure. (The Jbl Bucks) This match started with what are usually called rest holds. Dinero was in rough shape against Wolfe early on, but Dinero got some interesting offense in before this match got too one sided. Wolfe went for the Tower of London but got reversed into an escape and Dinero then confused Wolfe into a small package, and this match was over. This wasn’t a great match, but Dinero had some quick counters, which made it a little more interesting than I’ve would’ve thought possible from these two. I’m still not convinced that Desmond Wolfe is worth his position in TNA as I’ve yet to see him do anything major in ring. Sure he can attack backstage and what not, but in ring? I’m not convinced.
Rhino backstage was laid out too.
Jeff Jarrett was backstage too.
Aj Styles was doing an interview, and Eric Bischoff interrupted and made Aj Styles vs Kurt Angle for the main event, for the world title, which was supposed to be the Genesis main event, but we’ll see what happens.
Jeff Jarrett came down to ringside, mic in hand, and you know we were going to hear from him…again. He basically was bragging about how TNA has come a long way and that they are going to the number one spot. They keep telling me that there was going to be change, but I have yet to see it. This show is boring me now, I’m tired of hearing about change and seeing nothing, just like Obama.
Hulk Hogan interrupted Jarrett. The crowd was chanting Bullshit for the second time tonight, and it’s interesting. Hogan started to talk about how the young guys were going to get the push now, and that Jarrett sucks. Hogan’s act is already tired, I’m tired, I couldn’t wait to see what Raw had for tonight because this sucks now. I’m sick of hearing Hogan’s voice and his random “change” speeches that keep popping up throughout this show.
Daniels was having an interview and JB rushed in and got in the way, the interview ended and Mick Foley busted in and JB let him…kind of.
Shannon Moore and Jeff Hardy were backstage painting a picture…I kid you not, and they had a “meeting” with the big man, whatever that means.
Samoa Joe defeated Abyss
Joe started this match street-fight style, with a lot of punches and kicks, and this match slowly escalated into a more wrestling-oriented match up. Abyss couldn’t get his bearings up front, and Joe was relentless in his high impact offense. Eventually Abyss started to get more offense in, with a strongside slam, big splashes into the corner and charges, dropping Joe several times. Abyss hit a nice chokeslam, catching Joe off the top rope, and things weren’t looking good for the submission master Joe. Abyss took a sick head shot with a chair, and afterwards got hit with Joe’s finisher, he kept reaching for the ropes and it looked like he was going to make it, but he tapped out. Overall this match was definitely a physical one, but it didn’t top that women’s tag title’s match up, which was way more solid by comparison.
Bischoff backstage had to deal with Lashley’s wife. It was a stupid segment.
Bubba the Love Sponge was backstage and Beer Money was laid out cold.
The Nasty Boys finally got into the arena, with help from Bubba.
Backstage Jeff Hardy kissed some tweens and gave them a painting. Then himself and Shannon Moore left in a Lamborghini, each had envelopes…and that was that.
The Nasty Boys tore up the Dudley’s dressing room, and spray painted the walls with “Nasty”. This was definitely interesting, but aren’t the Nasty Boys really old? I thought so.
Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a TNA World Heavyweight Title Match
This match started fast and it seemed somewhat old to me. I felt like I’ve already seen this match many times. A masked man came in and knocked out AJ and the Ref, Kurt started to fight him and he fell outside the ring. I heard the Masked man is Tyson Tomko. The match restarted and the two started to fight each other. FYI the masked man angle has been done many times before. Remember Sting and the Black Scorpion? Remember DDP in WWE? Yeah, it’s a tired gimmick.
I gotta give TNA credit this match wasn’t rushed, it wasn’t short, and it had a lot of wrestling for a free television match up for the title. Angle looked hurt towards the end of this match up, Styles was having a hard time putting the Olympic Gold Medalist away. Styles hit the Styles Clash, and after a near fall Angle was set up for another one but Angle reversed it into an Ankle Lock. It was a no go, and Ric Flair came out to the ramp to watch this match first hand. Styles hit the sweetest 450 splash I’ve seen in a LONG time! The match continued with some great counters by both men, and a lot of near falls. I’m not into the big near falls, as I think it kind of ruins finishers for people, but whatever. Styles hit a nice springboard splash and Angle was done, Styles retains the title in what would’ve been match of the night for me, if the Knockouts didn’t floor me with their tag title match earlier on.
After the match Hogan came out to talk on the mic but was interrupted, and backstage was Mick Foley looking for Hogan. Hogan ran away from the ramp to head backstage. Foley ran into Bischoff and was basically fired, well, almost. The outsiders beat up Mick Foley backstage. Hogan was left standing there looking like an idiot.
TNA’s January 4 impact wasn’t that great. It had two major matches that I liked, a lot of and I do mean a lot of filler. Lots of talk of change, with no major change. I liked the show, but it wasn’t worth all that hype I had to sift through the last couple of weeks. We’ll see if TNA does in fact change things up ahead, if not, then oh well.

TNA Impact 11/5/09 Results and Review The Hogan Era Week 2
TNA Impact 11/5/09 Results
Beer Money Inc. defeated The British Invasion
Desmond Wolfe defeated Cody Deaner
Christopher Daniels vs Aj Styles no contest
Tara defeated Hamada
Bobby Lashley defeated Homicide
Taylor Wilde defeated Madison Rayne
Aj Styles defeated Daniels
Matt Morgan & Hernandez defeated Team 3-D via disqualification
TNA Impact 11/5/09 Review
The show opened up with a meeting that took place earlier with Dixie Carter and the whole TNA roster. She basically was giving that “I’m the boss” speech to all the guys, and it was now airing for the public. I’m not sure if it was a work or a shoot, but it sounded ok…I’m not sure what’s going on, nor do I really care.
Aj Styles opened up the real show, and Styles wanted answers to who is beating him up. Daniels came down…and he started to confront Aj Styles.
Beer Money Inc. defeated The British Invasion
This sloppy match really disappointed me. Both teams didn’t have any major offense, it was just half speed to the end. I hated this match. Beer Money won but who cares? The ref is an idiot. Erik Young introduced a world title and the ref literally put his arms up and said “uh oh!” and looked like an idiot. This match sucked.
Post match there was a melee, and on the ramp out came The Motor City Machine Guns, and security stopped things. This crap didn’t work in WCW, it’s not working now.
We now get twenty to thirty minutes of just backstage stuff. ODB gets beat up, Black Machismo gives an interview, Foley talks smack about Abyss, and that’s about it.
Desmond Wolfe defeated Cody Deaner
Desmond wins with a clothesline…that’s it. I hate this type of wrestling, and was bored. This is dumb.
Christopher Daniels vs Aj Styles no contest
Daniels was set to wrestle Styles with Samoa Joe as special guest referee, but backstage Aj Styles was attacked, meanwhile in ring Daniels got attacked by Joe. The match didn’t really happen.
Tara defeated Hamada
Tara was not getting a whole lot of offense in this match up. Hamada was really impressive in this match, and was quite good overall. However, Tara winning was a bit of an understatement of her abilities. The Widows Peak looked good, but that’s about it. Hamada looked to have injured her knee after a sick moonsault miss, but the match was somewhat short and really not that great.
Post match Awesome Kong came down to mop up Tara, but Tara leaped off the top rope in a sick swan dive into Kong and a body of security guards. You know something is wrong when your best spot in a match is after it’s over! Tara and Kong in the six sides of steel should be interesting…someone’s gotta blade though.
Mick Foley wasted about 20 minutes of time with talking to Abyss, and Scott Steiner was backstage talking about Hogan….I’m bored.
Bobby Lashley defeated Homicide
Homicide basically got pwned by Bobby Lashley. Lashley took a few hits from Homicide but then got worked and beaten fast. Lashley sucks.
Backstage Steiner was hitting on Lashley’s wife, he ran back there and there was a backstage brawl…man, who’s writing this bs?
Homicide attacked a ref and Amazing red came out to beat up Homicide.
This night of TNA was sucking big time…lame.
Taylor Wilde defeated Madison Rayne
This match was so short that when I got up to get coffee the whole match concluded. Post match The Beautiful people attacked, and a melee broke. It’s funny that although there is a big beatdown there’s no security…meanwhile earlier in the show there was a swarm of security for Awesome Kong and Tara’s melee….this sucks.
Aj Styles defeated Daniels
Even after the beatdown earlier, Styles and Daniels put a match together. This match was not given enough time to develop at all. This match was half speed, and eventually Styles was able to win. However, this match was just a trash match to say the least. Samoa Joe choked out Daniels.
Matt Morgan & Hernandez defeated Team 3-D via disqualification
Bubba Ray Dudley is getting fat again, he’s already large, but he’s putting on pounds. Hernandez was definitely getting the best of 3-d in this match up, as he had some great offense against the big time tag team. It wasn’t like Team 3-D was lying down, but man, they weren’t as intense as I’ve seen them in the past. This match turned out to be a dq with some lethal chairs, and a little help from Rhino. This match was building up quite well, then poop….I guess that’s TNA for you.
This night of wrestling sucked. Hogan wasn’t even on the show! What the heck? TNA sucks…screw it.

Tna Impact 10/22/09 Results and Review Aftermath from Bound For Glory
Tna Impact 10/22/09 Results
Homicide defeated The Amazing Red
Matt Morgan defeated Scott Steiner
Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash defeated Aj Styles & Daniels
Awesome Kong defeated Raisha Saeed
Hernandez defeated Rhino
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Lethal Consequences in an ultimate x match
Beer Money defeated The British Invasion by disqualification in a six sides of steel match
Tna Impact 10/22/09 Review
TNA Impact immediately started with Kurt Angle coming down to the ring to start speaking on whatever it is he’s mad at this week. Kurt Angle was bad mouthing the main event mafia and others, it’s lame; I’m sick of Kurt Angle, seriously, that dude needs to take time off from the mic. Rhino came out and started yelling, then Team 3-D came out and started yelling and Security had to be called down. Lame intro to TNA that’s for sure.
Homicide defeated The Amazing Red
Homicide didn’t wait for this match to start in the ring, he attacked Amazing Red on the way down to the ring, and the two battled it out on the floor in this x-division match up. Homicide was on his game, he was attacking at will, hitting a lot of great things, but it was Red who was impressive, dodging bullets to make sure that he’s not losing this match easily. He was motivated and really fast, but Homicide caught him in a rare moment and the match slowed down from the frenzied pace of the beginning to a more traditional speed. Amazing Red got a second wind in this match up, but after picking up steam Homicide hit the Gringo Killer and won this match up. The Gringo Killer is dangerous, that’s for sure.
Matt Morgan defeated Scott Steiner
Scott Steiner started this match with some offense, but Matt Morgan was no selling the whole thing. Morgan than went forward with his brand of offense, but Steiner wasn’t just going to job out to Morgan without a fight and he started to bring things back into focus. Towards the middle of this match, it was obvious that Steiner was tired and the match really slowed down and while Morgan was hitting full speed, Steiner seemed to be gasping for breath and really out of it by comparison. Outside of the ring Steiner messed with Bobby Lashley’s wife and that prompted “The Boss” to run down and fight Steiner. Lashley threw Steiner back into the ring, and Matt Morgan hit the Carbon Footprint, to win the match up.
Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash defeated Aj Styles & Daniels
This match started out with a melee, bodies flying all over the ring, and it was ok to start off. I didn’t mind it too much as the teams fizzled down into a standard tag team match up, with Styles playing the Face in peril of sorts. Joe and Nash were hitting hard, and it seemed as though they were taking liberties with Styles, but it was all part of their offensive plan against the high flyer, grounding him from going big with his fast paced risk taking offense. Styles eventually tagged in Christopher Daniels and things started to turn around, Daniels was easily taking out Nash and Joe with all of his offense. While I still liked him as The Fallen Angel, he was holding his own against two bigger men, for a short time at least. Styles took out Joe and Nash was left with Daniels to finish this match up. Nash hit a huge chokeslam and this match was done. Not a terrible match, but definitely nothing you haven’t already seen before from these four guys.
Awesome Kong defeated Raisha Saeed
Awesome Kong was getting her revenge on her former partner. She started this match with heavy moves and hitting harder than I’ve seen her hit in a while. Saeed was trying to use her speed to get this thing going her way. Awesome Kong was just too much for her though, as Kong was having her way. This wasn’t a total squash though, as Saeed was able to get a few shots in with some hard shots and quick reversals. Kong hit the implant buster and this thing was over, Awesome Kong got her revenge and it looked like it hurt.
Hernandez defeated Rhino
The two big men started this match fast and it was actually quite good on the fly. Hernandez has really gotten good with his timing in ring, and Rhino, well he’s a veteran of the ring and is always on. Overall this was your standard big man match, there were a few moments with fast paced action, but more power moves and misses than anything else. Hernandez hit the big splash off the top rope winning this match up against Rhino with relative ease.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Lethal Consequences in an ultimate x match
This match started off fast, as it should have. Both teams were on time, and were fast and furious. This of course was an Ultimate X match and it failed to impress me initially, but it had enough gusto to make an overall good match between these two veteran teams. Lethal Consequences had a lot of great moments in this match up, including chain tag team wrestling, and top rope moves. The match eventually boiled down to the team that could hit the biggest and best tandem top rope impact move and this time around it was The Motor City Machine Guns.
Beer Money defeated The British Invasion by disqualification in a six sides of steel match
This match was stupid. Well, it looked stupid, that’s for sure. This was a six sides of steel match, yet the two teams had to tag in to get into the match up? I hate when they do this, why even have a steel cage if you have to follow the traditional “tag team” rules? It just doesn’t seem right, but that’s ok, the match went forward and it wasn’t terrible. Sure it was flawed, but it wasn’t the worst match I’ve seen in professional wrestling nor Tna. Beer Money seemed out of it, and I didn’t think they could pull it off, but they had this thing nearly sewn up at one point with a double team ddt on Doug Williams. Magnus was able to stop the nearfall and it was Williams that went to the very top of the cage but was stopped by James Storm. Magnus then set up an interesting move and things got really scary when they pulled a Tower of Doom that was completely botched! Someone could’ve died, if you saw this, you know what I’m talking about. Beer Money had this match won but Magnus knocked out the ref! A team of refs came running down to stop the match and nothing was really resolved initially.
The British Invasion loses a CAGE match via Disqualification? This makes no sense, seriously, no sense. This really made me hate TNA, beyond compare. How do you get Disqualified in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! SERIOUSLY! TNA SUCKS!
Kurt Angle came out to the ring and called out Desmond Wolf, a new guy that attacked Kurt Angle unprovoked! I like that sort of introduction to new guys. Kurt Angle then started heading back to the backstage area, and was blindsided by this new guy, Desmond Wolf! I liked it, finally, a new guy that just picks fights…like WWE did with their new guy…on Smackdown. Oh well, this thing turned into a brawl right away and it was Desmond that was impressive, with an obvious mean streak.
TNA wasn’t all that great this week. Angle getting pummeled was cool, other than that, a forgettable night of pro-wrestling.

Joe and Nash were hitting hard, and it seemed as though they were taking liberties with Styles, but it was all part of their offensive plan against the high flyer, grounding him from going big with his fast paced risk taking offense. Styles eventually tagged in Christopher Daniels and things started to turn around, Daniels was easily taking out Nash and Joe with all of his offense. While I still liked him as The Fallen Angel, he was holding his own against two bigger men, for a short time at least. Styles took out Joe and Nash was left with Daniels to finish this match up.

This of course was an Ultimate X match and it failed to impress me initially, but it had enough gusto to make an overall good match between these two veteran teams. Lethal Consequences had a lot of great moments in this match up, including chain tag team wrestling, and top rope moves. The match eventually boiled down to the team that could hit the biggest and best tandem top rope impact move and this time around it was The Motor City Machine Guns.
Beer Money defeated The British Invasion by disqualification in a six sides of steel match
This match was stupid. Well, it looked stupid, that’s for sure. This was a six sides of steel match, yet the two teams had to tag in to get into the match up? I hate when they do this, why even have a steel cage if you have to follow the traditional “tag team” rules? It just doesn’t seem right, but that’s ok, the match went forward and it wasn’t terrible. Sure it was flawed, but it wasn’t the worst match I’ve seen in professional wrestling nor Tna. Beer Money seemed out of it, and I didn’t think they could pull it off, but they had this thing nearly sewn up at one point with a double team ddt on Doug Williams. Magnus was able to stop the nearfall and it was Williams that went to the very top of the cage but was stopped by James Storm. Magnus then set up an interesting move and things got really scary when they pulled a Tower of Doom that was completely botched! Someone could’ve died, if you saw this, you know what I’m talking about. Beer Money had this match won but Magnus knocked out the ref! A team of refs came running down to stop the match and nothing was really resolved initially.
The British Invasion loses a CAGE match via Disqualification? This makes no sense, seriously, no sense. This really made me hate TNA, beyond compare. How do you get Disqualified in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! SERIOUSLY! TNA SUCKS!
Kurt Angle came out to the ring and called out Desmond Wolf, a new guy that attacked Kurt Angle unprovoked! I like that sort of introduction to new guys. Kurt Angle then started heading back to the backstage area, and was blindsided by this new guy, Desmond Wolf! I liked it, finally, a new guy that just picks fights…like WWE did with their new guy…on Smackdown. Oh well, this thing turned into a brawl right away and it was Desmond that was impressive, with an obvious mean streak.
TNA wasn’t all that great this week. Angle getting pummeled was cool, other than that, a forgettable night of pro-wrestling.

TNA Impact 7/2/09 Results
Amazing Red defeated Cody Deaner
Eric Young defeated Rhino
Awesome Kong & Tara defeated Velvet Sky & Angelina Love
Booker T & Scott Steiner defeated Team 3-D
Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe defeated Jeff Jarrett & Aj Styles
TNA Impact 7/2/09 Review
Kurt Angle comes out and starts talking about Mick Foley, and calls him out. I like Kurt Angle’s new look, it makes him look more evil. Foley stepped out and confronted Kurt Angle. Scot Steiner beat up Foley’s security with a Lead Pipe, ending their storyline; hopefully. Foley punched Angle, then got a beat down from the Main Event Mafia. Afterwards Jeff Jarrett ran down to save Foley!
Double J then hit Foley in the head with a guitar, and walked away.
We got into an interview with Kevin Nash…lame. This segment sucks.
Amazing Red defeated Cody Deaner
Amazing Red is one of my favorite guys to return to TNA, he’s got the fastest execution I’ve seen in pro wrestling in a long time. The twisting dive was impressive, picture perfect, nice landing, and wow…impressive. Somehow Cody Deaner got Red in a compromised position and was actually winning for a good part. Deaner went to the top rope and went flying! He went for the Swan dive headbutt, but Amazing red hit a sweet Red Eye (second rope launch DDT). Tna’s Amazing Red deserves a title shot!
Eric Young defeated Rhino
Rhino ran into the ring and started blasting Young with lefts and rights. Eric Young was taking a beating early into the match up. This match was fast and not that good. Young didn’t get too much offense in, but eventually pinned Rhino, which was out of the blue via a head butt and sneaky pin. This was a terrible finish.
Awesome Kong & Tara defeated Velvet Sky & Angelina Love
Tara, at least to me, had a limp on her way down to the ring. The match was not half bad, The beautiful people had full control of this one. With quick tags and legitimate punishment, they really played up the heel tag team, without compromising their skill set. Awesome Kong got involved and hit a picture perfect Implant Buster and it was awesome! She gets the pin, and I was pleased.
Booker T & Scott Steiner defeated Team 3-D
Team 3-D had the edge early on, and I liked it. They seemed to have a second wind and really looked like that old Team 3-D even if it was short lived. However, as the match carried on it was Steiner and Booker that were looking like the well oiled machine not Team 3-D. Booker was fast and fresh, but Devon had a few shots to make things turn around as he was setting up a huge hot tag! Bubba Ray Dudley was working a little light at first, but things got better as he cleaned house including a nice Bubba Bomb on Scott Steiner. Booker T though, got the book end but couldn’t get the three count. Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi came to the announce table and started a fight with Beer Money who were doing commentary. Meanehile, Team 3-D hit 3-D on Booker T! Sharmel jumped in and distracted the referee! Scott Steiner got in and was immediately hit with a headbutt to the groin! Out ran Brutus Magnus came down and did the slowest run in wrestling history costing Team 3D the match.
Jethro Holliday vs. Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal
This match never really got started as Abyss beat up Lethal and then ran down to ringside to beat up Jethro Holliday! That’s about it, Abyss beat him up and went away.
Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe defeated Jeff Jarrett & Aj Styles
This match was going back and forth with neither team truly getting over on the other. Styles and Jarrett worked well together, and Joe & Angle were taking some heavy shots here and there. We had a commercial break and upon return Samoa Joe had this match well taken care of. Aj got a double ddt on Angle and Joe, which proved to be somewhat of an equalizer. Styles hit a huge Pele’ on Joe, and hit Double J for the hot tag and he was like a house on fire, hitting Angle with everything he had, but it was a short second wind. Double J reversed the Angle Slam into a ddt, and things looked bad for the Main Event Mafia. Joe got hit by Aj Styles but hit the ref too! Double J hit The Stroke from the middle rope, but the ref was out cold! Angle got the Ankle Lock onto Jarrett, and right in the middle of the ring! Jarrett passed out with the Ankle Lock strapped in, and he went limp from pain. Kurt Angle wins via death? Hahah…you know what I mean.
Just a heads up, I'll be gone tomorrow, so no smackdown review...but i'll be back monday or tuesday with a full Raw review.

TNA Impact Review 6/26/2008
I got a DVR, finally! So Now I'm watching all the wrestling shows I can get to the next day, rather than staying up really late each night to catch up on wrestling. So with that new introduction, here is the first of MANY reviews of TNA WRESTLING IMPACT ON SPIKE TV! They are slow to post photos, so I don't have many photos, but here's the straight
A.J. Styles defeated Consequences Creed
The opening bout was very impressive. There is nothing like this in WWE right now, and TNA can definitely grow these new guys into something. I know AJ is a veteran, but this is my first time seing creed. Creed is like a darker Carlito. Creed reminds me a lot of the first time I saw Butch Reed in WWF when I was a kid. He's got a lot of talent, fast, and has a lot of style and charisma. Aj pulls off the Style Clash for the win.
Great opener, fast paced, lots of good spots, and wow...Creed is a very good new comer to TNA.
The storyline with AJ Styles and Kurt Angle is really stupid to me. TNA doesn't need this. Nothing good comes from these types of story lines. I remember Chris Benoit and Kevin Sullivan getting into major problems because of this sort of thing. BUsiness is business, and a match between A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle would be great without this stupid storyline.
One thing I noticed, there are A TON of commercials between action in TNA. After the first match up, I had to wait quite a while for anymore wrestling action.
Christian Cage defeats Bubba Ray Dudley via DQ
This match was a throwaway match. There was some good action early on, however, the match ended swiftly with some quick interference, causing Christian to gain the win.
After this match, something crazy happened. Team 3-d and their crew brought out a glass table, and BOOOM Powerbomb from the top rope dropping Christian right through! Of course, this is wrestling, so um…Just pretend it’s real glass…ok? Yeah.
I noticed that Bubba Ray Dudley has gotten fat since the last time I saw him. Christian looks a little thinner than the last time I saw him. Tomko is still huge. Devon is fat.
One thing about the spot; did you notice how fake it really was?
Here’s what I noticed, so follow along:
The Trainer came to help Christian with a pre-bloody towel.
The trainer helping Christian, let his guard down and allowed full camera view of Christian’s back, which had no visible blood or damage.
The Ring was not bloody at all.
I’m fine with “pretending” wrestling is something more, but this just insults me completely as a fan.
Awesome Kong defeated A Fan “Danielle”
The women’s division is awesome. But this is not necessary. Awesome Kong beats the crap out of what apparently is a female wrestler, or a porno star, or someone that is NOT just a fan. This is a jobber fest, and really is just boring.
Rey Bucanero & Ultimo Gurrero Team Mexico defeated. Goi and Yoshino (spelling is not 100% sure) Team Japan
I admit, I was marking out huge for this one, Rey Bucanero is one of my favorite Luchadors from Mexico, and to see him in TNA is just amazing to me.
This match was awesome, the Mexican style and the fast Japanese style was awesome and created a great interlude between American wrestling and International pro-wrestling.
Wow…this is what I’ve been missing in WWE. WWE should and could learn a lesson from TNA and old WCW…the cruiserweights are AMAZING! You owe it to yourself to watch TNA if only for these matches, oh man, such a great match up.
Moose defeated ODB (Bimbo Brawl)
Woa! I thought it was Raven, but it wasn’t. Moose came out with a shopping cart full of plunder! That’s right, I said plunder! Moose looked like the female version of Raven! They called this match a “Bimbo Brawl” but it was basically a Raven’s rules match. No rules!
This was awesome! Finally a women’s extreme match up! This reminded me of ECW in the format of this match up. The match was just a clear beat down, ala Extreme! I have a ton of respect for the TNA knockouts after watching this match. This was cool. Probably my second favorite match of the night.
The ending was awesome, like an old Raven match up. Wow….wow…
Booker T. defeated Kevin Nash (no dq)
This match was slow. Kevin Nash is not in his prime at all. Booker T did his best to carry this match up, but it was broken up by Samoa Joe, who was ringside for Nash. The ending was really something out of the WWE playbook. Samoa Joe accidentally super kicks Nash, Booker T then picks up the win.
The same thing happened with HBK and Nash way back when. Only that time, it actually was good. This one is a little more convoluted.
Here’s the video of last nights ending.
