TNA Impact 11/19/09 Review

The show started with Abyss and Mick Foley coming down to the ring. There was some random frustrations talked about but that prompted Raven to come out with Doctor Stevie and of course more random yelling and what not. They set up a match, I am not interested; and after the break we get an interview with Styles and Angle arguing over the world title.

Amazing Red defeated Scott Steiner via dq

This match makes no major sense to me at all. Scott Steiner and Amazing Red is more than an obvious mis-match, and a potential to get Amazing Red hurt by Steiner’s sloppy wrestling. Steiner killed Red through the whole match, Red had no major offense, and when Steiner got tired he grabbed a lead pipe and cost himself the match.

Post match, Bobby Lashley ran down to save the day. This was a boring match, and pointless to me. Steiner doesn’t need to prove himself, it’s Lashley that needs to prove himself, after losing to Steiner at the ppv.

Kevin Nash and Erik Young had an interview…I’m sick of interviews on TNA….man this company needs to stop this B.S I’m sick of TNA.

The Motor City Machine Guns & Beer Money Inc. defeated The World Elite

Despite there being too many people in this match, and too many agendas to sift through, the guys in this match tried to make it more than a spot fest. It was hard to follow some of the action because there just is too much going on, and I hate the six sided ring. The World Elite lost control of this one several times, and eventually lost the match when Big Rob’s interference back fired. This match was too short, but had too many factions working and while one team one, it made no sense to me why it was moving the way it was. If you like spots, there were a lot here, but no where near a good match, it was just thrown together.

Hamada defeated Taylor Wilde

I’m a big fan of the TNA Knockouts for various reasons. This was quite a good match up, but it was pure Hamada. Hamada really brought her strong style Japanese wrestling style and took it to Taylor Wilde, proving yet again that you can be a good wrestler and not necessarily be a “diva”. Too bad WWE doesn’t care or watch this type of talent.

Abyss defeated Raven & Stevie Richards via disqualification

Mick Foley was supposed to be partners with Abyss, but at the start of this match, there was no Foley. Abyss started the match and was getting a good amount of offense in against these former ECW superstars. (can I call them superstars?) Anyways, this match featured a classic ECW throwback, and started out as a handicap match in a lot of ways. Mike Tenay saying “goozle” was just stupid. Abyss was doing an ok job facing both dudes, but it was obvious that Foley needed to be there to help out. Raven was trying to hit a fireball but it never worked out…the ref found the crap and disqualified Raven and Steven Richards, and this match went to the toilet. Tna sucks.

Post match Raven and Richards beat up Abyss, I got to stare at daffney and once again we hit commercial time….this is past the one hour mark, and yet no good wrestling outside of the knockouts.

Homicide was the guest on the ODB show. I hated this segment…man…TNA sucks.

Sarita defeated Alissa Flash

These two TNA knockouts are semi-new and I’ve seen them wrestle each other several times. They weren’t that good this time around. I’ve seen them do some great things in ring, but they just seemed tired in this match and it wasn’t that great. Sure they were better than any divas match I’ve seen this year, but it wasn’t up to snuff.

Post match Traci Brooks attacked Flash…I was bored.

Backstage Foley got choked out again by Doctor Stevie and Raven; once again Daffney was the best part for me.

Team 3D & Rhino defeated The Black Pope, Hernandez, and Matt Morgan

This match started out with a brawl, and then settled down a little with Bubba Ray and Hernandez getting this match going. The match immediately went into a spotfest with Hernandez flying through the air onto the outside. The Pope started throwing in a ton of plunder into the ring, and this thing was about to get interesting. This match wore thin fast, and the younger guys were taking control through the extreme rules match, but couldn’t muster up enough experience to miss going through tables, getting hit with 3D and more. The former Naval officer Jesse Neal showed up and helped get the win for the ECW alumni, in this wild extreme match up. Matt Morgan looked legit hurt after taking a bump where he leg dropped a blank table. It looked bad.

Christopher Daniels & Desmond Wolfe defeated Aj Styles & Kurt Angle

The main event this time around was interesting to say the least. It wasn’t much of a match, but it had enough gusto to keep me entertained. The match ups were distinct, each member wanting a shot at a particular wrestler. Styles seemed a bit over confident at times, and Angle just wanted a shot at Wolfe and it cost him. Wolfe was impressive in there, barely getting through Style’s attempts at winning, which would have worked on any other wrestler. Daniels helped get Wolfe out of trouble and ended up getting the pin after the Best Moonsault Ever. Overall, I didn’t hate this match, and it had enough to make it through the main event status, considering it was shorter than most main events in wrestling history.

TNA tries to entertain, but it still sucks. If Hogan is really going to make a difference, I hope he changes the six sided ring, and hopefully we get more wrestling instead of just random interviews and segments…Tna’s product is just subpar right now.

Tna Impact 11/12/09 Review

The show immediately opens with Hulk Hogan’s signing to TNA wrestling. Then we get a recap of the meeting that was shown last week. I’m already bored with the storyline. However, I did mark out for Super Dave! As the show goes right back into Mick Foley’s office.

Abyss defeated Dr. Stevie

I feel like we’ve had this match occur before, so I wasn’t exactly too thrilled to see it. Abyss started this match hard and fast. Stevie Reichards looked great in ring, a far cry from his BWO days. So this match was all Abyss until the lights went out. Yes, the lights went out. Both men were out cold, and Stevie managed to roll an arm over Abyss and wins the match. Daffney’s hot…fyi. A chair was thrown into the ring but Foley ran in to save the day.

The Lights went out yet again, and this time we see Raven! Raven throws a fireball into Foley’s face and then hits the Evenflow DDT! Raven is back! My favorite wrestlers from yesteryear!

Alissa Flash defeated Traci Brooks

Alissa Flash took it to Traci Brooks and really did a good job. I thought it was interesting to see how intense she was, as she was really going after Brooks. Mike Tenay, mid match announced that Traci Brooks’ arm was crippled since birth and Flash just kept attacking it. Alissa Flash one via submission, and to cement the storyline, Brooks attacked her after the match.

Flash is good in my view, but she needs better competition. Traci Brooks sucks. A bad arm? That’s the excuse for her lackluster in ring work? She’s not Paul Orndorf, so I’m not buying the excuse. But then again, what do I know?

Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart defeated Black Machismo

This is a bad idea. Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart looks out of shape, really out of shape. This match was back and forth, albeit, short. The match went forward and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart hit a huge powerslam to pin, and won. Yes, he defeated Black Machismo! So much for that story line huh? What a joke.

The Beautiful People and Awesome Kong defeated ODB, Sarita, Taylor Wilde and Tara

These ladies really put ona good show. They didn’t do anything super crazy, but they had enough moments to make it interesting. While it was just a spot fest when you boil things down, it still had a bunch of good shots. Of course, Awesome Kong won with her implant buster, and it’s picture perfect.

There was a hotel room beatdown with Lashley beating up a rapist-like Scott Steiner. Sadly, this was insane.

Kurt Angle was in ring in a suit, talking about Desmond Wolfe. A video showed Desmond at a different location and he showed up and attacked Angle, however, Angle fought back and started to make good on his promise to fight back. However, Desmond got the better of him and hit a nice DDT and then hit a chair shot. Meanwhile the video kept looping, which made for a terrible promo.

Amazing Red & The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The World Elite

This match was suppose to be high risk and great overall. Instead it was half speed and featured some botch’s that no one really commented on. The Machine Guns and Red were pushing a great amount of offense and if there is a great part of this match up it was the spots done by Amazing Red. The World Elite just didn’t seem to have it and really lost it. Oh and Homicide got ransacked by security for trying to introduce a barbed wire bat to the match.

Beer Money Inc. defeated The British Invasion

This match is a good example of what WWE is missing. They are missing real tag teams. Not just hot spotted tag teams thrown together at the last minute, but legit tag teams that don’t necessarily wrestle singles matches often. That being said, this match was great in terms of tag team action. It’s not the most amazing, technical match, but it had double teams, hot tags, high spots and good overall rhythm. That’s what the tag team division should aspire to in wwe, but doesn’t. Beer Money had this match swinging their way but it seemed that the British Invasion had one step ahead each time this thing looked over. But the british invasion couldn’t get the final pinfall and lost to Beer Money.

Samoa Joe defeated Aj Styles

This was a fast match, and really wasn’t all that great. Towards the middle of the match, Christopher Daniels came down to ringside to interfere, and that cost Aj Styles the match. Samoa Joe choked out Aj Styles, in a somewhat lackluster match.

Tna Impact 8/6/09 Review

TNA opened up with a flashback of Erik Young and Kurt Angle arriving at the arena.

The show officially opened and of course it was Kurt Angle and the main event mafia in ring babbling about random crap. It wasn’t exactly the most thrilling of things, and to be honest, it was quite boring to me. Kurt Angle comes out and whines every single week and this wasn’t any different. Kurt Angle announces that he’s struck a deal with the British Invasion.

This is the WORST thing that could happen. The Main Event Mafia is now N.W.O 2009! That’s right, the N.W.O and the Main Event Mafia is exactly the same now. Too many members, so boring, and all older guys that should be letting the young guys in; I wanted to just quit watching TNA at this point, I am so sick of this N.W.O cloning, and I’m sure others are also tired…TNA is really blowing it, worse than WCW ever did.

Erik Young defeated Christopher Daniels

Christopher Daniels started this match fast, and Erik Young needed help from the outside in order to slow things down, however it was to no avail as Daniels leaped through the ropes and hit Young on the outside. However, the distraction caused Daniels to lose his focus and never really recovered. Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi kept running into the match, distracting the ref, and really not helping Daniels stay on top of his game. Erik Young eventually picked up the victory after a nice looking piledriver. This match was ok at best, kind of standard, Daniels jobbing hurts, cause he has so much talent. I remember his feud with Samoa Joe for the x-division title, 4 star matches, but now? He’s jobbing, and that’s sad.

The British Invasion, Scott Steiner & Booker T defeated Beer Money & Team 3D

I swear one of the guys on the British Invasion is juicing hardcore. Other than that observation, I didn’t see this match as that great. Team 3D were starting this match with back and forth tags, good overall offense, and really putting forth effort in an otherwise overly crowded match up. The match eventually had a slight turn for the British guys, but it was short lived as Team 3D was controlling every aspect of this match up. That is until Erik Young, Bashir, and Kiyoshi came down. That prompted the Machine Guns and Daniels to run down to ringside, and this match was a complete cluster. Kevin Nash came down, and this was worse than WCW 2000, seriously this is a load of crap. Foley came out, and now there were bout 10 or 12 wrestlers down at ringside fighting and brawling, the match was apparently not thrown out at this point This seriously mirrored Nitro, and I really wanted to stop watching this, this is such a stupid show. TNA SUCKS! I HATED THIS! The match continued and Big Rob (the most juiced wrestler I’ve seen in a long time) pinned Robert Rude and that was that. This match sucked, I hated the way this turned out. This was seriously one of the lowest points in TNA history for me.

The show continued to focus on backstage brawls, antics and random crap that we saw in the failing days of N.W.O in WCW. It’s a shame that TNA is writing such terrible wrestling shows, because they had some potential in the past weeks. The whole roster was fighting each other, that’s it.

Sarita & Taylor Wilde defeated Alissa Flash & Traci Brooks

Alissa Flash once again shined in this match, despite Sarita’s offensive control early on. Flash is a well tuned wrestler, but more impressive was Sarita with a dazzling display of Lucha Libre style dives and top rope offense. Flash of course contrasted the style with hard mat wrestling against Taylor Wilde, showing off her skill set and strong style, which isn’t seen often in women’s wrestling. The weak link here was Traci Brooks, her large breasts were getting in the way of her wrestling, and she was obviously two steps slower than the other competitors in this match; she was moving half speed compared to the other three women in this match up. She also missed a lot of moves, and was botching things left and right. Sarita was the one that got the better of the women with a roll up and a nice array of Lucha Libre moves. I think Flash and Sarita are great wrestlers and not just divas. Traci Brooks, though, is a terrible wrestler.

There was an interview with Hernandez and Mike Tenay. It was kind of boring.

Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles

Aj Styles beat Morgan last time, so I naturally knew that Matt Morgan would get his payback for this best of three series. Styles had a lot of speed in this match and while Morgan is a fast big man, he’s not faster than Styles and it painfully showed during this match up. Morgan used hiss strength to ground Sttyles though, and it was obvious that Morgan wasn’t going to just let Styles run circles around him. Morgan was ready for Styles every move and eventually hit the Hellevator and won with an impressive set of offensive. This was really good, considering the match was a little short. I guess seeing such a bad opening and first hour made this match seem better than it really was. Morgan is getting better, but I don’t think he can do it without being carried by a veteran like AJ Styles.

Sting defeated Brutus Magnus

Well, I was ready for bed, but apparently TNA wanted to throw one more match at us. I had to sit through yet another Sting match, and I'm not sure I was ready for it. The British Invasion was thrown out of ringside, so it was Sting solo with Brutus Magnus. Sting started this match with a clinic of old school wrestling. After many arm drags, hip tosses, and throws, Mangnus was thrown out of the ring to regroup and it was Sting that looked like the young buck rather than the veteran that he is. After a slight regrouping, Magnus was focusing on the legs of Sting and was really taking a page out of Bret Hart's book, with sole focus on the leg of Sting, setting up for a submission ending later, for sure. We cut to commercial and it was just a reversal as Sting cleaned up, put Magnus into the Scorpion Death Lock and made Brutus Magnus tap out with ease.

Post match The World Elite came down and tried to fight Sting, but Sting seemed to have most of this in control, until all 9 people attacked Sting. Once again, this was a reminder of NITRO with a TON of guys on one guy....sigh....Tna ruined this show. Lashley & Mick Foley ran down and fought off all comers, Lashley is now Goldberg 2009...TNA sucks, i'm sorry I'm going to bed...this was a terrible night of wrestling.

Oh and if you think I'm overly critical, get yourself the ending of this night of wrestling. 20+ guys in the ring beating up 3 guys. This was NWO all over again, it was so lame. Seriously, what a load of crap.
