TNA Impact 1/27/11 Results

The sites that I usually utilize to get the TNA program DID NOT HAVE any updates this morning. So that means you get results instead of of a review. I hate when this happens, especially since i PAID for one of the sites, what a load of BS.

I guess if reviews stop on the site, I'll at least post Results.

TNA Impact 12/23/10 Review

The show started with a recap of last week's show, and I liked the recap far better than the actual show. It's funny how TNA can make something look so great in the recap but can't keep the majority of wrestling fans attention during their 2 hour showcase. I hate the title screen, by the way, in case you were wondering.

The show started with Immortal or Fortune or somebody coming to the ring. I have no idea who is in this group, it's just so dang large, it's like NWO 3,000 and I don't understand why I should care since there are no real faces in the company.

The ring was set up for a "weigh" in of sorts. Mick Foley came out to talk about Anderson and what not. They are still talking about the "concussion" thing. I had a concussion once, it sucked, but I was back in action within a few weeks. Bischoff talked at length about how Foley sucks etc.

Jeff Jarrett defeated Amazing Red

Jarrett came out again for his MMA gimmick. Amazing Red came out to challenge Jeff and lost the match after a few moments. Yep, Red taps out and that was the end of the night.

Jarrett gets good heat, I admit that. however, Jarrett doesn't have a real opponent to knock him off his pedestal. Amazing Red could be used so much better in the x-division with Jay Lethal, and yet he's jobbed out here in a stupid match with jarrett. He said that his baby brother would come fight Jarrett next week. Hopefully it's Angle.

Kaz & Robbie E defeated Generation ME

The match wasn't half bad. it had a good amount of back and forth. Generation Me and Robbie took most of the match and in the end Kaz tagged in and pinned a random dude and was the #1 contender to the x-division title.

I just want to point out that Shark Boy hasn't been involved since the ppv, so there's a wasted thing. Robbie E is pushed aside now? Lethal is out of character now, he can barely talk on the mic since he isn't doing the Macho Man gimmick. The whole match up was just odd. The x-division title used to be a highlight of TNA and now, it's just an after thought.

Sarita and Velvet Sky fought in the dressing room. It was a nice cat Fight. I'd love to fight Sarita in the back room, it'd be fun.

Angelina Love & Winter defeated Tara & Madison Rayne

This match wasn't very good at all. It had a few moments that were good, but it was mostly brawling and random moves. Winter came out towards the end and started fighting Madison Rayne. Winter won the match after Angelina took a lot of punishment, but she nearly botched a sideslam, and it just looked bad. Angelina Love & Winter are the new Knockouts Tag Team Champions, and it's a shame. I haven't seen a positive Knockouts match up since Gail Kim and Awesome Kong were in TNA.

Aj Styles vs Douglas Williams went to a draw

This match wasn't great, but it did have a lot of action. Aj Styles was completely winded towards the end. Douglas Williams seemed just fine throughout the match up. The two were supposed to fight in an Iron Man match and it wasn't half bad. At one point Aj Styles got on the mic and asked for a rematch, and Williams said no, at first. Then after Styles continued, and got a rematch for Genesis. This whole segment was boring.

If Styles loses at the ppv, he's going to get fired.

I'm telling you, this segment was relatively boring to me.

Matt Morgan, The Motor City machine Guns, and RVD vs Fortune

this match was ok at best. It was rushed and despite the rush, it had little to no great thing. Robert Roode looked good as Beer Money is a good overall team together. Other than them, the rest was just tired. The tag teams did most of the fighting.

The show ended and you had to tune into Reaction to finish watching the show. I don't get Reaction so I didn't see it. So I don't know what happened. Sorry. TNA sucks, and they continue to baffle me as to why they do this. I don't care to even investigate what happened, so your guess is as good as mine as to what happened after the match was over.

TNA once again ruins wrestling for most fans.

TNA Impact 10/21/10 Review

The show starts with a recap, and the recap is FAR better than the actual show from last week. It's actually intriguing, not having to watch the whole thing unfold for an hour or so with NO wrestling.

Ken Anderson got in ring and talked about how he wants to get Hardy back and another title shot, but RVD came out to talk about how HE deserves the title shot, since he never lost. Then on the screen came Jeff Hardy with an apology...a "raven" style apology.

Eric Bischoff then came out on the mic to talk. He said to tune into reaction...I doubt anyone is watching that show. I know I'm not.

He set up some matches...and I was already trying to poke my own eye out.

Robbie E defeated Amazing Red

This was a very short, very dull moving match. Amazing Red isn't half bad, and Robbie E took a lot of shots before hitting a Diamond Cutter. NO it's NOT the RKO, Robbie E does it like DDP, and it looked nice.

The fans were all chanting "boring". I didn't hate it, I think Robbie has skills, he'll just need other opponents. I'm going to go on a limb and say that Robbie E reminds me of The Model Ric Martel...there I said it. He'll need more in ring and promo work to match the Model though.

The pope cut a promo from a strip club.

After a lot of random backstage crap and "Winter" debuting, it came time for a Street Fight for the Television Championship!

I'm a fan of good street fights, that being said, it's been a LONG time since I've seen a good street fight. I'd say, not since the late 90's have I seen a quality pro-wrestling street fight.

Aj Styles defeated The Pope in a street fight

The match started on the ramp and then quickly got into the ring, and instead of offsetting moves, the two were literally exchanging right's and left's for a good part of the match. The match was looking to turn into a wrestling match when Abyss ran in and beat up The Pope. The rules stated that Fortune couldn't interfere, and I guess Abyss is NOT a member of Fortune?!? Whatever. Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam and then Aj Styles pinned The Pope and this was over. Not a great match, but I didn't hate the way it turned out, it's sketchy, but I'll take whatever wrestling I can get at this point.

Backstage The Pope got in Samoa Joe's face and Joe said to get out of his face...and Joe said he has "no ones" back.

And now, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE!!?!?!!!

Generation Me and The Machine Guns had a little altercation in the parking lot.

Double J cut a promo about how he's awesome and what not...ugh...

Samoa Joe came out to confront Double J and the two brawled, with help from TNA security. They then handcuffed Samoa Joe!!!! Joe tried to fight back but it was 3 on 1, and Joe was getting beat down like crazy! Woo! Joe is a chump, face it! I kind of like Double J's shirt, with the skulls and the guitar, not bad.

Mike Tenay started going nuts on the announce table, as Taz listened in, and that was that. Tenay looked seriously pissed.

Beer Money defeated RVD & Sabu

This match was a train wreck, it was seriously bad. Despite all that, the closing moments weren't half bad. Sabu threw a chair and it hit RVD in the head, and they lost to Beer Money.

Post match, RVD and Sabu started to brawl, and EV2.0 ran out to stop them.

Mickie James defeated Sarita

Sarita and Mickie James actually had a wrestling match. Yep, a real wrestling match, something that hasn't been seen in a long time with TNA. The match started relatively awkwardly and took a little while to get going, but once it got going, it wasn't half bad. The win came after one of the worst kicks I've ever seen.

Post match, Tara ran in and beat up Mickie James.

Kazarian defeated Ken Anderson in an Ultimate X Match

Anderson was beat up in the backstage area, and was then fed to Kazarian. Anderson had his shoulder taped up, and ran in and tried to give some offense, but like the old saying goes, what good is a "one armed man, in a butt kicking contest?" and that was the theme of this match up. Kazarian wasn't having the easiest time, but it just looked like he was going to win with relative ease against a one handed Anderson. Anderson at one point caught Kazarian coming off the X wire and right into the MIC Check, which was quite good! Anderson reached under the ring and found a ladder! Anderson was on top of the ladder and ready to get the X when Fortune ran down and hit Anderson with a nice sit out Powerbomb from Matt Morgan. Kaz was then just lifted to the top of the X and he won the match! Matt Morgan is a legit 7 feet tall, wow...he is huge. Kazarian wins with help. I actually liked this match, it was more than watchable, and light years ahead of a lot of TNA's previous efforts.

Post match, Anderson got a pipe and cleared the ring, but out ran Jeff Hardy and hit Anderson with a very hard chair shot to the back of the head. It looked bad...and Anderson was busted open in the back of the head! I've never really seen a blade job to the back of the head, but it was odd. Hardy then put Anderson's arm inside the ladder and hit it with the chair! Anderson's essentially dead here.

I loved the ending of TNA, and dare I say, it's the best show in wrestling thanks to that awesome ending, and the culmination of the main event. I liked it, wow....Anderson looks legit' hurt. Hardy then argued with the fans, and that was awesome too. Wow...I actually liked TNA Impact...it's a rarity folks, a real rarity.

The end of the show featured Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff in the back of an SUV and Kurt Angle showing up and breaking the back windshield open! Angle then ran away....wow...not bad.

Kurt Angle defeated Amazing Red
Beer Money, Aj Styles, and Desmond Wolfe defeated Abyss, Anderson, Lethal, and Hardy

TNA Impact 6/10/10 Review

Aj Styles came out with most of the Ric Flair crew and started mouthing off about random crap. Then him and Kaz started to argue about things, and that prompted Jay Lethal to come out dressed like Ric Flair doing his parody thing again.

Lethal then said he put together a team to face Flair's crew. This was funny at first, but overall, it was just long and pointless to me.

Lethal, Anderson and Abyss fought the whole Flair crew...that was the opening.

Kendrick started to cut a promo backstage and was like the old Raven interviews, he was just randomly speaking...it was weird. Honestly, it was like Raven lite.

Brian Kendrick defeated Homicide

First of all Homicide is wearing some weird trunks and it was stupid. Homicide and Kendrick could've put on a four star match, but instead, this thing was just a waste of time. Seriously, this thing was oen of the worst x-division matches I've seen in a long time.

Meanwhile, backstage Jesse Neal and Bubba Ray Dudley were fighting.

Bubba Ray got called out by Neal and the two faced off in the ring, and it led to a near brawl. It was lame.

Backstage Sting was killing Jeff Jarrett again. He apparently ripped Double J's shoulder? Whatever. Jarrett sucks, Sting sucks, and this is just stupid. Jarrett was taken away in an ambulance.

Matt Morgan came out and was ready for a tag team match, and out came Super Mex! Matt Morgan was completely beat down and put on a stretcher before the tag match. Hernandez just left, and out came the band.

The Band was scheduled to wrestle Matt Morgan & Hernandez but instead was laid out and that was that.

The Band defeated Matt Morgan

The Band came out and pinned a dead Matt Morgan. This was stupid, these guys get paid to do nothing! What the heck? I want to get paid to do nothing. What a terrible match, it was a non match, this is seriously one of the worst impact shows ever!

Backstage, Sting beat up RVD and just choked him out for no apparent reason. Sting stole the belt and that was that.

Kurt Angle defeated Amazing Red

This was by far the best match I've seen in TNA in a long time. Amazing Red was fighting fast, and Angle was getting punished with some high spots. Angle hit a few counters, but he was definitely giving Red some breathing room to showcase his talent. Red hung in there quite well against a much bigger Angle. Angle was nearly put away with several instances of Red's offense but after rolling away from one of the finishers from Red, and hitting the Angle Slam, Red lost.

Honestly, this was the funnest match I've seen in a long time. Angle and Red put on one hell of a television match and it was amazing to see.

Sting cut a weird promo, just like Raven. He sucks.

TNA put in a weird promo where they said they are growing and they have been expanding by leaps and bounds. REALLY TNA? REALLY? That's why they failed on Monday nights? That's why they are pulling .9 ratings on thursdays? Whatever.

Beer Money, Aj Styles, and Desmond Wolfe defeated Abyss, Anderson, Lethal, and Hardy

This eight man tag was just a “WWE” lite main event. I hate eight man tags from guys I don't care about. The teams worked ok together, I guess, but come on, this was not fun to watch. It was given a little bit of time, and it wasn't a complete waste, but it was far from something I wanted to see, let alone write about. I do give TNA credit, it was given a lot of time to run through. It ended up being all finishers at the end, which was ok I guess. I don't know who the legal person was as the ref let everyone just run in and do their finishers. I'm sick of hearing Tenay say “goozle”!

Desmond Wolfe got Chelsea to throw in a chair, and Abyss punched it...what a terrible move...Lethal jumped in and got hit with the Styles Clash for the win. This match was ok at best....no, it was a little less than ok. The bad guys won in the end, and that was it.

Backstage Sting beat up RVD and it spilled into the ring, where RVD set up Sting to take some offense. I guess this sets up their match on Sunday, but once again, I ask, who cares? Sting and RVD set up a good little piece, but still, Sting sucks.

Was it me or were the Knockouts non-existent on this show?

Oh well.

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 2/18/10 Review

The opening segment of TNA featured The Pope cutting a good promo and calling Rick flair, Dick Flair. Aj Styles came down with Rick Flair and the two exchanged words before The Pope attacked. Aj Styles and Rick Flair out numbered The Pope and smashed his leg in between a chair. This was a great throwback to classic wrestling and I liked it a lot. It’s about time we get this kind of feud. Pope is going to need help to stop the numbers game, but I like him chasing the title and eventually getting it, maybe in a cage.

Tara defeated Daffney via disqualification

This match had actual wrestling, and wasn’t half bad at first. However, Daffney hit Tara with a tool box from under the ring, forcing the disqualification. Daffney then went to the attack after the match, and it was good overall, in my view. Maybe it’s cause I think Daffney’s hot.

Backstage Eric Bischoff throws Foley a bone by sending him on a shopping spree to updated his look.

Orlando Jordan defeated Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe might have missed the title at the ppv, but he was ready to strike and got a shot at fighting Orlando Jordan. He really was on the attack after a pre-match speech by Bischoff. Joe was hitting hard, but after a quick mistake, Jordan rolled him up and got the quick win! Joe was off his game for 3 seconds and he lost. This was a shocker, but with little to no fan reaction.

The Amazing Red, Generation Me, and Kazarian defeated Doug Williams, Brian Kendrick, The Motor City Machine Guns

All of these guys can put on great matches, and it’s impressive to see them work. My only complaints about these guys come from the lack of psychology sometimes. However, they managed to mix strong style from Doug Williams and high flying spots from other competitors in this match up. Kazarian won the match for his team with a slingshot over the top rope into a ddt. Not a bad match, although it seemed a bit short to me.

Jeff Jarrett vs Abyss No Contest

Abyss had to win this match or else lose his mask. Double J had to use the barbed wire bat at some point, or else, according to Bischoff. This match was slow and Jarrett was avoiding using the bat. Abyss wasn’t just lying down either, he was taking it right to Abyss as well. Double J refused to use the baseball bat, so he called out all the heels o beat up Abyss and Jarrett. The match ended in a dq? I guess.

Post match Bischoff came into the ring while his cronies held Abyss down. Bischoff was about to take Abyss’s mask off but out came Hulk Hogan!

Beer Money defeated The British Invasion

This match was ok at best, it showed that Beer Money is still around. I didn’t think this was a terrible match, but it wasn’t exactly a technical best. This match was pretty cool for being short…although I expected more.

Post match, The British Invasion looked like they were going to break up. Big Rob was left standing with the International Belt? I forgot what it was called.

Backstage Hulk gave Abyss a pep-talk. It was boring to me.

Kurt Angle defeated Christopher Daniels

This was a very short match, and Angle made Daniels tap out fast. I didn’t think much of the match, and they just buried Christopher Daniels.

Mr. Anderson showed up and beat Kurt Angle fast, and looks like the two will be feuding soon.

Samoa Joe was leaving the arena and was literally kidnapped. It was weird. They threw him in the back of a fan and just drove off.

Kevin Nash called out Scott Hall and Sixx Pak and security bum rushed the ring and stopped anything from going down. Hogan came out to the ramp, and just watched. The show just ended with nothing. Kind of lame.

Tna Impact 2/11/10 Review

Man this show was so lame to start. I heard there were no matches set for the ppv this weekend, and people just talking bad about TNA, rightfully so, the show opened up with Hulk Hogan going to the ring. Erik Young came down to interrupt Hogan, and said he wanted a shot at the “band”. Hogan said to find them outside, and what not…it was a boring promo.

The eight card stud tournament qualifier match was next to come through.

The Pope D’Angelo Dinero defeated Orlando Jordan

This match wasn’t a classic masterpiece, but it had some good moments. The fans completely hate Jordan, that’s right. It’s a good thing, and I think that’s important for Jordan. He’s getting so much heat it’s great. The Pope, is a solid wrestler and put on a show, although a little light tonight. Orlando Jordan didn’t stink up the arena and did play it up against the Pope, the finale was ok, this match was good enough to keep me looking, that’s for sure.

Double J got the shaft with Bishoff, looks like he’s getting totally screwed on television.

Matt Morgan defeated Suicide

Looks like the Suicide angle is all over. He got killed in this match. Morgan looked strong and just blew through all Suicide’s attempts at offense. Morgan moves on in the tournament. This was a glorified jobber match to say the least.

Backstage Angle and Anderson, were interviewed by the biggest forehead in wrestling right now, and it wasn’t anything too special. A random microphone came down and Anderson said ANDERSON!

Brutus Magnus defeated The Amazing Red

The Amazing Red did almost everything possible to fight off Brutus, but just couldn’t put him away. Magnus won with a nice northern lights suplex. Red did some great counters, and hit fast and hard, but it wasn’t meant to be.

The Beautiful People defeated Tara & Angelina Love

This match wasn’t all that great, it had a lot of moments where the Beautiful People were just not that good at wrestling. They seemed scared, and were playing up the “divas” type of wrestling and maybe that’s what they were going for, but it made for terrible wrestling matches. This match was a cluster at the end, but The Beautiful People got the win, again. Not terrible, but not good. Lame.

Kennedy & Kurt Angle defeated Desmond Wolfe & Hernandez

Kurt Angle was trying his best to win this match basically all alone. He was taking control of this match until out of a mistake Desmond Wolfe was able to reverse things. Angle was getting worked over, and refused to tag Anderson. Anderson got a tag then threw Angle out of the ring, and won the match for the team! Angle looked pissed and Anderson basically looked strong! I hope Anderson wins this weekend.

Samoa Joe cut a promo and Aj Styles came down with Nature Boy. Samoa Joe unloaded against Aj Styles, and with the help of Ric Flair the two took out Joe.

The Band beat up Kurt Angle with Brass Knuckles. Hogan came out to the ring after the band beat up Kurt, and got inside the ring!

Hulk laid out Sixx and Scott Hall with Brass Knuckles.

Final Thoughts

Tna sucks.

I hate it.

There’s no change.

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 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.

Tna Impact 10/15/09 Review

I’m not sure what happened in the past few weeks with TNA, but this edition of TNA Impact was supposed to be a Super Impact Show! The show was titled “Angle’s Revenge” and really frustrated me from the get go, because I think the how shouldn’t have titles and crap like that, but that’s life. So here we go, TNA Super Impact, 3 hours of wrestling…wow….I’m going to need a nap after this review.

The show opened up with Kurt Angle and the main event mafia in the ring. Angle was in wrestling gear and said he wanted to do things different tonight, and he wanted to make sure he was ready for Aj Styles tonight. Angle started rambling to the rest of the members of his mafia, and it was random, and well…boring. Aj Styles came out with Matt Morgan and the rest of the good guys that will face the mafia at bound for glory. They then ran down and started fighting the Main Event Mafia, and things were going nuts. Once again, this was just like the old Nitro days with the New World Order, making me wish I didn’t review TNA…but I can’t help it I guess. Security ran down and got things back to normal, somewhat, but this was just stupid to me, I haven’t seen TNA in a while, but I know that the last time I did, this sort of crap was all over the show.

The Beautiful People defeated Tara, Awesome Kong, and ODB

Awesome Kong and Tara were fighting outside of the ring, meanwhile ODB was fighting The Beautiful People alone. Awesome Kong then started to walk away up the ramp, leaving her two partners to fend for themselves, and it was somewhat brutal. Well, as brutal as the current state of the knockouts division could be. The Beautiful People are a half step slower than ODB and Tara and this was painfully obvious. This made me not like the match too much, even though it was watchable. It’s still better than the divas match up. Even Tara’s superkick was terrible, but whatever. Tara had a disagreement with ODB, superkicked her, and the Beautiful People got the pinfall.

The Pope gimmick sucks. Seriously, the worst gimmick I’ve seen TNA come up with in a long time. Whatever…this sucks.

Amazing Red vs Suicide No Contest

The Amazing Red, always impressive, is now the X Division champion and was facing the stupid wrestler Suicide. Both wrestlers were going for the exact same moves, and it was a stalemate in the early goings of this match up. Red hit a sweet corkscrew plancha to the floor by Red, and it was just impressive to see Red’s timing. Suicide had a strength advantage, carrying Red and catching Red at times, but it was mostly Amazing Red and his flurry of high spots. Suicide’s rolling slam to guillotine leg drop from the apron was impressive, and it was nice to see the x division getting a good thing going. Suicide was attacked by The Pope and the match was thrown out. Oh well…

Erik Young joined the broadcast team for a little color commentary.

Hernandez defeated The British Invasion in a gauntlet match

Hernandez had to wrestle the whole British Invasion in a gauntlet style match up. Initially he started off with Doug Williams and was doing quite well initially. However, it was Williams that proved impressive, turning around the power moves of Hernandez into a more stable match up. Hernandez turned this thing around and won this one clean.

Brutus Magnus ran down as the second opponent for Hernandez, and was taking advantage of the winded Mexican, getting some pinfall attempts in within a few moments of his match starting. Hernandez put away Magnus with the Border Toss and it was quite well.

The third man of the British Invasion came in, and man, he’s got to be on the roids. Big Rob is massive, and he took it to Hernandez from the get go. He was hitting hard and was wearing out his opponent, with what seemed like ease. While Big Rob was gloating a little, Hernandez hit with a huge powerbomb out of the corner and won this match with ease.

Post match, Erik Young ran down with a Kendo stick and started to mop him up. The British Invasion than hit their finisher, and left the big man laying in the middle of the ring writhing in pain.

Backstage there was a four way interview and that led to the cameras cutting to Lashley and Joe and other fighting backstage. We then got a commercial, then an interview with Kurt Angle, then another commercial, then an interview with Aj Styles. All in all a lot of time wasting by TNA, which bored me and I’m sure bored you too.

Daniels defeated The Pope

Christopher Daniels hasn’t been the same since he gave up his Fallen Angel gimmick. I don’t think he’s that effective as a wrestler any longer. The Pope is interesting, he’s fast and he’s got some skills. He’s another WWE reject, and by the looks of his timing in ring, you wouldn’t know that. In fact, he is like a lighter R Truth in this match as he was taking it to Daniels early on in the match up. Daniels couldn’t really get his offense going, and was actually having problems with The Pope’s constant follow up. Daniels looked like he was done, and it was interesting to see how daniels would fix this, and eventually he made it work, after hitting The Angel’s Wings, Daniels won this match up.

Post match, out came Suicide, so we thought, but it was none other than Homicide dressed up as Suicide, to complicate things further. The match was standard, with the only cool parts being Daniels hitting his finisher, that’s always impressive, at least to me.

Mick Foley came down to ringside to talk about random crap. He sat down on a lazy boy of sorts, had some popcorn and was talking about Abyss. Abyss came out and attacked Foley. Foley then turned on the screen to show Steven Richards look creepy behind a blonde haired woman…most likely Abyss’s girlfriend or something. This segment was just another time waster.

Abyss ran down backstage. We got back to commercial break.

Hamada defeated Alicia Flash in a falls count anywhere match

Alicia Flash and Hamada are two women’s wrestlers that impressed me previously. I think that these two women could really get some good action going, and it’s interesting to see that TNA wanted to make this a falls count anywhere match, which seems odd to me. This was like the old ECW days for sure, this match was interesting, with both women hitting some high risk moves, high spots, and making the most out of the opportunity to have this falls count anywhere match up. It really was impressive to see two women put a match on like this, considering no one really does this type of wrestling anymore. It wasn’t just a plunder filled match up, it was a well balanced wrestling match with the stipulation allowing for a little extra. Hamada hit a nice a jumping ddt on the apron, and went to the skies for the finisher! She hit a picture perfect moonsault off the top rope through a table and Alicia Flash, winning this match, wow, this match was rad. I loved it.

Lashley defeated Rhino in a stretcher match

Lashley is being called, “The Boss”, and he seemed somewhat hurt with his ribs wrapped up. Rhino was attacking Lashley mercilessly throughout the ongoing of this match up. This was also given the stipulation of being a stretcher match, and Rhino was taking advantage of the fact. He was ruthless and showing off greatness against the former WWE star. The match turned around and Lashley seemed to have forgotten about his ribs and was hitting Rhino with some hard shots. Lashley was the only one really moving the stretcher, taking control of Rhino for a good portion of the match up and eventually moving to the back of the arena. Lashley hit a huge slam on Rhino onto a Guard Rail, and I thought this was over, and it most certainly was, Lashley threw Rhino stretcher and all into an Ambulance and this match was done. This was a terrible match up…terrible.

Backstage Mick Foley had fun beating up Abyss with the help of Stevie Richards and Daffney. It was somewhat boring, but oh well, what are you going to do? We then get yet another commercial break, and it was kind of tiring to note. TNA also teased the main event…Styles and Angle, after the break. This show is way too long, and I wanted to give up on the review, but I’ve come so far….

On a sidenote, Shane McMahon just resigned from the WWE…just a quick FYI.

Kurt Angle vs Aj Styles Time Limit Draw

This match was touted as the main event, and it was started at the end of the second hour. I figured this match was going to go at least an hour, but that didn’t make a lot of sense considering that these two have a match his weekend…then I remembered; TNA Impact is taped two weeks prior to air time, so this match happened a while ago. Anyways, this match started out quite good, Angle kept trying to keep the match on the mat while Styles kept getting away from Angle and hitting some sick moves. A nice dropkick from Styles made Angle second guess his strategy, and the two went back to work with counters and simple moves to try and isolate each other. Styles seemed to get the edge early on, forcing Angle to go outside of the ring and rest, rethinking his next move before things get out of hand for him. Angle finally got the upper hand by sidestepping one of Aj Style’s over the top rope moves, and the pain was on. Angle isolated Styles with a lot of rest holds and submission attempts, and Aj styles looked out. However, Styles was able to turn things around for a moment or two, but it wasn’t enough to put away Angle. Angle kept on the pressure, turning from rest holds to high impact moves like the release German Suplex and reversing the Styles Clash as well. There were several near falls and I thought this thing was going to favor Angle, but Styles kept kicking out at around two and a half. Angle started to appear frustrated, especially after a top rope belly to belly suplex didn’t put away Styles. Styles managed to even hit the Styles Clash, but it didn’t put away Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle barely kicked out of the Styles Clash. Angle was able to hit his patented Angle Slam and Styles kicked out. This match was headed into a stale mate fast. Angle went for the top rope moonsault, but Styles moved out of the way, and was out cold. Styles hit an impressive 450 splash off a springboard, and wasn’t able to get the win, as Angle managed to muster up enough strength for a kick out. Angle put on the Ankle Lock and the bell started to ring! Angle thought he won, but nope. The time ran out That’s right, there was a time limit, and the time ran out! The referee ruled this a time limit draw! What a load of crap. I can’t believe I sat through this for nothing. This isn’t the 1980’s there shouldn’t be a time limit draw!

The rest of TNA was just build up for the ppv that’s coming up. Nothing major, no more matches and I was finally ready to call it a day, that’s for sure.

Tna Impact 7/23/09 Review

Taz comes to the ring first thing, and the crowd is giving him a warm welcome. I like to see Taz in TNA. Taz gives a shoot style interview about how he wants to be more than a commentator. So he jumped shipped because he had to be in a Raw promotion, cause it reminded him a lot of ECW and he couldn’t resist. Taz put over Samoa Joe, he said that Joe is the second coming of Taz. I don’t know, Taz is good, but Samoa Joe is the second coming? I don’t know, I just don’t buy it. Taz had some top notch guys to work with, dare I remind you of his feud with Bam Bam Bigelow?

Homicide defeated Samoa Joe w/ Taz via disqualification

This was an odd match up. The x-division title is on the line, and I like this. Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels was one of the greatest matches TNA ever put on, and even The Meltz said it was near perfect. Whatever the case is, Joe was going right for Homicide, and really looked like the Joe of old, going for Suicide Dives, running the ropes, and trying hard to make this match work. However, Homicide was the one that was starring here, he reversed all sorts of attempts by Joe and took control early on in this match. Samoa Joe was flustered but he managed to get some good Suplexes in and looked at Taz, who applauded some of his moves. Midway through the match the Referee took a bump, Joe then blocked the Gringo Cutter and locked in his chokehold, and the ref called for the bell!

The winner is, as a result of a disqualification, HOMICIDE!

Post match Taz ordered Samoa Joe to beat up Homicide. Out came Hernandez, Super Mex and saved Homicide from a further beat down. Taz and Samoa Joe walked away, and didn’t engage Super Mex.

Kurt Angle and the Main Event Mafia came in ring and talked trash. It wasn’t very good, and didn’t really require a whole lot of recap…same old story from Kurt Angle. Foley came out later and he ranted about how he disagrees with Angle. Lame. They set up a “keys” on a pole match…so dumb.

Kevin Nash defeated The Amazing Red in a Legends Title match

As soon as Amazing Red was introduced, I realized that there was no way Kevin Nash was going to lose, in fact TNA has found another way to mock WWE by emulating their style of burying new comers. Nash was dominant early on and just played up his big man gimmick, throwing Amazing around the ring like a rag doll. Red had NO offense in that worked, not even a little bit. Kevin Nash dropped him with a Jacknife Power Bomb and called it a match. It sucks to bury talent, at least from my perspective and TNA once again takes a dump on their up and comers by having NASH obliterate Red.

Scott Steiner & Booker T defeated Big Rocco and Sally Boy in a tag team title match

This match sucked. The big security guys for Foley ended up wrestling this match. The dudes basically got beat down, and nothing major happened. This was definitely one of the worst matches in TNA tag team history, seriously. While the big men did get a little action in towards the end of the match, it was to no avail, they lost and that was that. One of the worst matches I’ve seen in a long time.

Tracy Brooks won a Konckouts Battle Royal

Awesome Kong, Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, Tara, Sojourner Bolt, ODB, Daffney, Sarita, Alissa Flash, and maybe others.

This match was an over the top rope battle royal with all the knockouts involved. It was a melee of a match, and not half bad. The match was your standard battle royal fare, my favorite? Awesome Kong, as she was delivering the blows to all women and no one was trying to throw her out; The final three was Tara, Sarita and Awesome Kong. Sarita was in there throwing up some great offense, despite this match being high risk for her as a high flyer. It didn’t last long once it was down to three, as she was thrown over by Awesome Kong. Kong and Tara were the final two in this match up. Awesome Kong and Tara were eliminated in the end, and the two finalists kept fighting at ring side.

The winner of this match was…Tracy Brooks! As the winner she gets 15k and is now a member of the Main Event Mafia.

The British Invasion, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Kiyoshi defeated Beer Money, Christopher Daniels, Aj Styles, and Erik Young

The TNA originals started this match with duel tag team moves, provided mainly by Beer Money. They were easily taking care of Bashir and Kiyoshi right off the bat, and were making quick tags as well. The foreigners were definitely in need of some offense in the early goings, as the originals were working like they were a team for a long time before this match was even booked. Big Rob Terry got things going for the foreigners and he’s got to be on the juice. He’s massive, he is built like a 1980’s action figure, massive upper body, no leg muscles to speak of, he’s a throwback on the juice for sure. The British Invasion began to really work together, balancing out the other side of things, showing that they weren’t just going to lay down and lose for the sake of losing. This match broke loose with all members flooding the ring, only to have the originals take over with the Styles clash set up…but Erik Young swerved us, turned on the originals and helped the foreigners win the match up! Young sucks now, he sucked when he was a face, and was only cool when he was part of that super hero group with Shark Boy and others.

Mick Foley defeated Kurt Angle in a keys to the tna office on a pole match via dq

I hate anything on a pole matches. I liked it in 1992 when Sting had that Coal Miners Glove match, but outside of that one match, I don’t like these gimmicky main events. It seems that TNA can’t put on an impact without having a lame gimmick at the end, with some terrible matches and rushed spots.

Foley started this match fresh and limping, but he was hitting Angle with some heavy shots to the head. He had early control, and Angle was trying to fire back, but Foley hung in there for a nice brawling start to this otherwise stupid match. At some points in this match Angle and Foley went half speed as to not injure themselves in this match. Foley was close to getting the keys several times but was stopped by Angle. These close calls were so slow, it looked terrible; of course no main event would be complete without having a sweet commercial break in the midst of it. So we get a lot of random crap. Upon returning from break, Foley had this match all sewn up. He hit the double arm ddt and put on SOCKO! He hit the mandible claw and things were looking sad for Kurt Angle! The Main Event Mafia ran down to save the day, the bell rang, and the match was thrown out.

This match was thrown out, the Main Event Mafia beat up Foley, the keys never got taken off the pole.

This whole night of wrestling was hard to watch. There were a few bright spots, but overall this thing wasn’t that great all…then out came Bobby Lashley! Lashley looked intimidating! So we have Lashley in TNA!

Lashley beat up the Main Event Mafia, after swerving Kurt Angle, much to the dismay of one Angle who got a stiff shot to the mouth.

TNA was hard to watch, I admit it. But I did it, unlike many wrestling podcasts that suck now.

Tna Impact 7/16/09 Review

As usual Foley comes out to talk. I don’t want to hear Foley any longer, but here he is, random speech about getting the TNA belt back. He called out Kurt Angle, and the champion obliged by coming to the ring. Foley was rambling about last week’s Barbed Wire beat down. He then was complimenting Angle for being a great wrestler and that on Sunday he hopes no Main Event Mafia will show up to interfere in their match up. Sting came out and started to call out Kurt Angle. He started to rant about how Kurt and Mick are liars and that this weekend we’re going to see who has the power to run TNA. Sting will wrestle Kurt Angle tonight in a six sides of steel match!

Backstage Samoa Joe was beating the crap out of The Amazing Red, I hated that, but oh well.

The Amazing Red defeated Samoa Joe via Disqualification

Samoa Joe beat up Amazing Red, then threw Rudy Charles across the ring, Rudy Charles called for the bell, I assume he lost the match. This was dumb.

There was some random interview segment with all the knockouts talking about random trash with Don West. It was a stupid segment, made to waste time.

Suicide defeated Chris Sabin

The Motor City Machine Guns have the worst music in TNA wrestling history. I hate their music with a passion. It’s time for a change. Sabin finally got a shot at Suicide, but it was non title, so it didn’t even matter to me who won. Suicide sucks, I’ve never liked his character and I don’t know why he has a title, as it didn’t even help the TNA video game sales. This match was fast paced and back and forth. No one had the real upper hand, but Sabin was definitely standing out. However, for all Sabin’s effort, Suicide kept hitting sling shot maneuvers and reversals to try and slow down the tempo. These two were no selling everything for the sake of time constraints. Sabin has such great timing in there and it showed, until Suicide caught him with a sick rolling slam and then hit Alex Shelley on the outside. Sabin hit a sweet spike ddt but couldn’t pick up the win. The Suicide Solution was hit and this match was over. I still don’t like Suicide, and this match was just too fast, there wasn’t enough time to develop at all.

Post match the Motor City Machine Guns fought Suicide and mopped him up. They set up a sweet leg drop onto a chair, and Suicide was out cold. Homicide came down to ringside and saved Suicide, chasing away the Motor City Machine Guns.

Homicide then decided to cash in his briefcase for a shot at the X-Division title shot.

Homicide defeated Suicide for the x-division championship

Homicide immediately pinned Suicide and thought he could just win it. He didn’t, and Suicide fought back, but was obviously winded from his last attempt. Homicide hit the Gringo Killer and won the X-Division championship! Not much of a match, but I liked it, go Homicide!

Angelina Love was in a complete haz-mat suit as the Beautiful People came out to do some talking. Angelina Love was saying that she wasn’t ready last week. She also said that this weekend Tara and her would go for the gold! Then Tara came out and hit the Widows Peak on Angelina Love, playing more mind games for this Sundays match. It was an ok segment and I loved how the women weren’t “divas” or anything like that, they were wrestlers building an angle, a rarity in professional wrestling right now.

Sarita defeated Alissa Flash

What’s this? Two new wrestlers? Yeah, TNA is introducing two new knockouts, and yes they can wrestle! Flash had a strong style, building on heavy moves and punches while Sarita had a pure Lucha Libre style. Sarita was in there showing off for sure, within ten seconds there was a Suicide Dive! Talk about real women’s wrestling! YES! Flash capitalized on a mistake and started to dismantle Sarita like a technical wrestler. Meanwhile Sarita was sticking to just a pure lucha style, trying to get from high spot to high spot, but that proved dangerous as Flash kept catching Sarita with mistakes. Flash did a nice surboard set up to curb stomp, and it looked like Sarita’s debut was going to get spoiled. Flash’s overhead back suplex into the corner was brilliant, shades of Bret Hart! Sarita won with a victory roll after some good back and forth, and this match was really good, best match of the night, no doubt.

Booker T & Kevin Nash & Scott Steiner defeated Beer Money & Aj Styles

Beer Money has to be one of the longer running tag teams in professional wrestling right now. I hope they never split them up, they work too well together; unlike wwe’s way of splitting things up and then burying the legacy. So here were, a six man tag and it wasn’t half bad. Aj started things off with Scott Steiner and the two were putting on a decent show. The match turned into a melee with everyone fighting in ring, then outside. The two left standing were Nash and Aj Styles, but it was Nash that ended this thing early with a huge Jacknife Power Bomb. He ended Aj’s hopes of winning this match, as the rules seemed to spin and it was an elimination match all of a sudden. I hate when TNA does this, on the fly too, but I guess it makes the match a little longer. Steiner eliminated James Storm, and this match was now a three on one match with Robert Roode stuck in the match against three members of the main event mafia. Booker T hit a book end after the commercial, and it seemed like this match was going south for Robert Roode. Roode managed to eliminate Kevin Nash but after that Booker T and Scott Steiner kept hitting each other on accident and Roode capitalized. He had this match sewn up nicely even hitting a nice spinebuster on Booker T, but it wasn’t to be as the numbers game just kept growing. Roode hit an amazing bridge suplex on Booker T but Sharmell was on the ring apron distracting the ref, and it was downhill with the Main event Mafia pulling off another win.

Kurt Angle vs Sting in a six sides of steel match ended in a no contest

This match couldn't half more than 10 minutes to unfold so it was somewhat tame. Sting tried to out wrestle Kurt, but it wasn't going to happen as Kurt is a real amateur wrestler and it showed in the onset of this match, gaining an easy upper hand against Sting. Sting got back with a stiff elbow, and this match started to come undone with Sting reversing Angle's momentum at every turn.

Then we got hit with commercials?

The match now had roughly 5 minutes to finish before the next program, meaning TNA must've edited the crap out of this match to fit into the time slot.

Sting got a second wind after the break and was totally dominating Kurt Angle. He set up his moves and was throwing Angle at the walls of the cage, but nothing was working. Angle hit a release German Suplex and the tables turned for Angle. Angle went for the Angle Slam but it was reversed right into the Scorpion Death Lock.

Meanwhile at the announce table Samoa Joe knocked out Jeff Jarrett then walked into the cage and locked it again. Samoa Joe then got hit with a Scorpion Death Lock! The lights went out and Samoa Joe was in a choke hold!

At this point Foley and Jarrett were trying to get into the cage, but the Mafia was controlling things outside. This match was ridiculous, Sting was getting chocked out, the match was thrown out I guess? I don't know, what a convoluted mess.

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 6/18/09 Review

The show opened up with Foley inviting Double J to the ring for a nice party atmosphere. Then out came a lot of wrestlers and it turned into a melee. Daffney is hot to me…sorry…she’s hot to me. Raven rules, RAVEN! He’s back! He’s so back! RAVEN!!! RAVEN! Oh the beginning of tna sucked, it made no sense.

Christopher Daniels defeated The Amazing Red

The Amazing Red was putting on a great show. The flying reverse Russian leg sweep was stellar. Daniels also put on some amazing counters into place, and just reminded me why I like him so much. The Best Moonsault Ever beat Red’s fast paced offense and wow, this match was short, but it had some great moments.

Matt Morgan came out and yelled at Sting. He was rambling, and you know what? Who cares about Matt Morgan! Lame. Sting ended up throwing out Matt Morgan to the floor, in a classic move.

Raven defeated Jethro “The Outlaw” Holiday in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match

Jethro is Trevor Murdoch, just fyi. This Clockwork Orange House of Fun match was basically a halfway hardcore match up. I didn’t mind it that much, and I personally enjoy these types of matches. Who am I kidding? I love Raven and now that he seems to be a little lighter than the last time he was an active wrestler, I think he’s back to his former glory. Raven through Jethro through a side of the ring, with a cage on it and he went flying through to the floor, and Raven pinned him to win this match. It ended bad, but the overall match wasn’t terrible. It had its moments, although short lived. I hope Raven is recruiting for a new incarnation of Raven’s Nest or Raven’s Flock.

Samoa Joe says he’s being adviced…but by who? Kennedy! Na, I don’t know.

Awesome Kong & Taylor Wilde defeated Daffney & Angelina Love

This match was more than a divas match, the women of TNA really had some good wrestling style. The match ended fast though with Awesome Kong hitting the Implant Buster on Daffney to win the match. I like the TNA Knockouts 100 times more than I do the wwe divas. These women hit harder and actually can wrestle, I’m always impressed with TNA and the amount of time they give these women at times. I like them. You might too.

Tara and Awesome Kong stared each other down, and I for one am excited to see them wrestle each other, though tonight wasn’t the night.

Team 3-D & Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences & The Motor City Machine Guns

I’m assuming this was a fourway match? I don’t know, it had a hard time starting. Suicide ran in and took out the Motor City Machine Guns and ran away. The match finally started and it was a big melee inside the ring. Team 3-D was cleaning up with the greatest of ease, getting the best of all the tag teams, as if they were Triple H holding down the roster. They win this match in less than 4 minutes. So it was an 8 man tag? I guess….this match sucked.

Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle & Sting and Mick Foley & Jeff Jarrett

This match had roughly 14 minutes to finish off. The match was ok at best, it had a lot of mat wrestling with no one really getting the upper hand overall. Mid match Foley abandoned Jeff Jarrett to join the announce team, and it seemed like Foley was punishing Double J, even though he was paying lip service. When we returned from break Jarrett was getting worked, and Foley was still outside at the announce tables. Samoa Joe’s powerbomb on Kurt Angle into Sting’s back look brutal. Meanwhile Double J went out of the ring and hit Foley with a steel chair. In ring Samoa Joe was cleaning house! Joe hit a sweet Muscle Buster and the match was done, just like that.

Tna was a mixed bag this week. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t necessarily bad.

TNA Impact 5/28/09 Review

Suicide defeated Amazing Red

Suicide apparently gives title shots to anyone that asks, not necessarily the next in line. Amazing Red gets a shot at the title after making a comeback, but you just have to go with this lame out of the blue booking, it is TNA after all. Did you know Kaz is Suicide? I just wanted to throw that out there. I heard that Christopher Daniels was under the mask for a little while, but it’s Kaz. As for this match, Suicide was totally controlling Amazing Red, and while Red did put down some nice comeback attempts, Suicide just out classed his opponent on every turn. I hate Don West, just another FYI.

The Main Event Mafia was in ring and Sting talked about women being banned from ringside. Lame. Then he talked about random crap until Samoa Joe said he was going to kill Kurt Angle. Terrible Segment, that led to Mick Foley backstage to make assumption that Jeff Jarrett is going to be fired sooner than later? Once again, stupid.

Doug Williams defeated Cody Deaner in a Ladder Match

This match was a terrible match up. Deaner had this case basically, and took a nasty fall on the outside towards the end. Seriously, this fall was a classic, but other than that, this match sucked. It was a ladder match for Homicide’s case…which is stolen at this point. Doug Wiliams and Cody Deaner nearly destroyed my love for ladder matches. However, Deaner’s massive fall and nearly breaking his neck made me not hate thi match too much.

Stevie Richards did a random in ring Therapy Session with Abyss that bored me to death. Until Raven showed up! That’s right, RAVEN, SCOTT LEVY, MY FAVORITE ECW/WCW/WWE superstar is back in action with his cut off jean shorts and nevermind…RAVEN is back! He beat the crap out of Abyss with a kendo stick. BIG STEVIE COOL AND RAVEN BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!

Remember when they had that double Dog Collar Match? Against the Pit Bulls, that match was insane, and the two went through like 90 tables, I had to mark out like a school girl, I had to, it was rad to see Raven, back. He was lighter and looked in good enough shape.

Angelina Love defeated Sojourner Bolt

The whole crew of The Beautiful people were out at ringside in this match. I know it’s bad to think this, but I couldn’t help but wonder if cute kip is banging all of them! I mean, some pornstar looking chicks and him? It could happen. But I hear that one of them is going out with Gregory Helms…I digress. This match started out fast paced and somewhat interesting, but the screeching cats outside of the ring really made for a terrible sound experience. This match was so short that by the time I clicked a random link on a site, the match was done. Not that I was doing other things while this match was on….This match was easy for Angelina Love as she only had to wrestle for a few moments. Bolt threw some shots in, but overall this match kind of sucked. Admit it.

Cute Kip got thrown out of The Beautiful People and guess who came down to take care of them? VICTORIA! I knew it was going to happen, but I still marked out huge. Victoria is still hot…I like her. The WIDOW’s PEAK got a nice pop…and wow…Victoria is hot without all that spandex…I like her…***DROOLS****

Jeff Jarrett defeated Eric Young

Did anyone really think that Eric Young was going to win this match? I didn’t. Eric Young did put up a good match with Jeff Jarrett, who was supposedly battling an injury. This match sucked, it was terrible, seriously. Eric Young lossed in less than ten minutes, this wasn’t a war, this was a piece of junk. Jarrett rolled over Eric Young for no apparent reason.

Post match Eric Young attacked Jeff Jarrett, turning him Heel? Whatever. Eric Young sucks.

At this point in TNA Team 3D was giving a giant check to Beer Money…oh and a trophy too. This was a stupid segment.

Aj Styles defeated Christopher Daniels

Well if anyone could put on a good match it’s these two wrestlers. I was always impressed with their battles for the X-Division belt, but I wasn’t impressed by this match. Sure there were moments that were good, as these two are amazing when working together, but they had time constraints and it just wasn’t as impressive to me. It just seemed like they were going through the motions, and I was predicting that Styles would win, since Daniels isn’t in the hunt for the world title at all. Daniels went for The Angel’s Wings but Styles rolled through or a quick win with a……ROLL UP! FU TNA two roll up wins in a row? Thanks TNA thanks…for nothing!

OH but, guess who’s back too?

SHANE DOUGLAS! That’s right, SHANE DOUGLAS shows up and decks Christopher Daniels! That’s kind of cool, I guess. Douglas looks fat.
