TNA Impact 1/28/10 Review
Immediately Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were introduced, and they arrived to somewhat cheers. They call out Mick Foley, and Foley wants his job back. This segment sucked and went nowhere.
Backstage Mr. Anderson took away Hemme’s mic and issued an open challenge to anyone in the TNA locker room for a match, since he wasn’t book tonight.
Desmond Wolfe defeated Sean Morley
What in the world? Val Venis is back? I heard about it, but I didn’t see his in ring return, and from what I can see, he’s not looking too out of shape. This match didn’t have me upset at all, I actually liked how it was going, and when the Tower of London happened, I actually cared about Desmond Wolfe’s second coming. Overall not a bad match, in the qualifier to a tournament on ppv; I didn’t mind it, and it was a good opening match up.
Mr. Anderson’s opponent for later will be Jeff Jarrett, not bad.
Hernandez defeated Christopher Daniels
This too was a better match than in previous months. Daniels really matched Hernandez at times, but with his speed, while Hernandez tried to use his strength as an advantage. After a while Daniels grew frustrated that he couldn’t put super mex away and that made Hernandez the winner when he capitalized against the former Fallen Angel to advance to that tournament they kept talking about.
The Nasty Boys and Team 3d had a “face to face” of sorts. It was boring. They will face each other at the ppv.
The Beautiful people were interviewed backstage…that’s about it.
Eric Bischoff fired Bobby Lashley, and was escorted out of the arena.
The Beautiful People defeated Awesome Kong, Hamada, and Tara
The knockouts division is hit or miss when it comes to in ring ability. There should be enough talent in ring to get this match going, and it was definitely better than anything the divas have done lately. Tara still has some good moves, and it’s mind boggling to me why WWE didn’t capitalize on her talent. Madison Rayne and the rest of the Beautiful People have some moves too, but it seems that their ring attire gets in the way of their wrestling more time than not. Hamada and her team had this match completely won, but Madison Rayne got the win after using the ugly stick on Hamada.
I didn’t mind this match, I like foreign objects in endings sometimes. Overall a better offering than recent months, that’s for sure.
Backstage Earl Hebner got suspended after admitting he got a pay off from Flair to ring the bell early. Whatever.
Angle and Hogan buried the hatchet of sorts, and then Angle was immediately attacked by Hall & Waltman.
Brian Kendrick & The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me & Amazing Red
Finally, The Young Bucks are in a major company. I remember seeing the Young Bucks wrestle in Culver City, California in my home town! They finally made it! I’m glad. This match immediately started with Kendrick and Red going fast paced and Kendrick getting worked over fast. This match was very fast pace, and it was interesting. People talk about spot to spot and what not, but I personally thought it was more than that. Kendrick got the win over Red, and this match was interesting to say the least.
Big Rob gave Doug Williams the feast or fired briefcase and cashed it in.
Doug Williams defeated Amazing Red in a X-Division title match
Doug Williams cashed in the briefcase, and he’s now the new champion. This made a lot of sense.
Mr. Anderson defeated Jeff Jarrett
Jarrett came out to no music, and just came down and started from point #1 at the bottom of the barrel. Anderson and Double J started with some good overall old school wrestling. This match should’ve been a lot longer. Jarrett seemed to be getting things rolling in his direction, but he lost after a low blow from Anderson.
Final Thought:
This night of TNA didn’t suck as bad as the previous weeks. There was some filler, but overall, the wrestling was a lot more thought out and entertaining to me. If TNA can continue moving forward like this, they might be able to pull in new fans.

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

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

Guess who else showed up? It’s Mick Foley and none other than The Nasty Boys! Yes, THE NASTY BOYS, BOTH OF THEM! Sags and Knobs, the Nasty Boys were both backstage and trying to get in. They didn’t get in, and were thrown out.
Now for the rewind to 1995 here was Raven & Doctor Stevie. They would face Matt Morgan and Hernandez, and the only thing I personally liked was Daffney, she’s my type….the kind that I have no chance with…ziiiing!
Hernandez & Matt Morgan defeated Doctor Stevie & Raven
This match was a non issue, it was possibly one of the shortest matches I’ve seen in a long time. The match had Richards getting a Carbon Blueprint and pinned. That’s it. Seriously, that’s it. What a stupid waste of time.
Backstage The Pope was with Hemme and a random interview. I don’t hate it, but I don’t necessarily like it, especially after the terrible match that just happened. Orlando Jordan showed up, I think…maybe? I’m not 100% sure if it was him or not, but it was interesting. Elijah Burke has some competition now, in an interesting segment that went from the bottom to the top, I started to get interested, then we cut to the ring, and it fell apart again.
D’Angelo Dinero defeated Desmond Wolfe
It started raining money, well, fake stuff like the old JBL bucks. I wish I had some of those, that’s for sure. (The Jbl Bucks) This match started with what are usually called rest holds. Dinero was in rough shape against Wolfe early on, but Dinero got some interesting offense in before this match got too one sided. Wolfe went for the Tower of London but got reversed into an escape and Dinero then confused Wolfe into a small package, and this match was over. This wasn’t a great match, but Dinero had some quick counters, which made it a little more interesting than I’ve would’ve thought possible from these two. I’m still not convinced that Desmond Wolfe is worth his position in TNA as I’ve yet to see him do anything major in ring. Sure he can attack backstage and what not, but in ring? I’m not convinced.
Rhino backstage was laid out too.
Jeff Jarrett was backstage too.
Aj Styles was doing an interview, and Eric Bischoff interrupted and made Aj Styles vs Kurt Angle for the main event, for the world title, which was supposed to be the Genesis main event, but we’ll see what happens.
Jeff Jarrett came down to ringside, mic in hand, and you know we were going to hear from him…again. He basically was bragging about how TNA has come a long way and that they are going to the number one spot. They keep telling me that there was going to be change, but I have yet to see it. This show is boring me now, I’m tired of hearing about change and seeing nothing, just like Obama.
Hulk Hogan interrupted Jarrett. The crowd was chanting Bullshit for the second time tonight, and it’s interesting. Hogan started to talk about how the young guys were going to get the push now, and that Jarrett sucks. Hogan’s act is already tired, I’m tired, I couldn’t wait to see what Raw had for tonight because this sucks now. I’m sick of hearing Hogan’s voice and his random “change” speeches that keep popping up throughout this show.
Daniels was having an interview and JB rushed in and got in the way, the interview ended and Mick Foley busted in and JB let him…kind of.
Shannon Moore and Jeff Hardy were backstage painting a picture…I kid you not, and they had a “meeting” with the big man, whatever that means.
Samoa Joe defeated Abyss
Joe started this match street-fight style, with a lot of punches and kicks, and this match slowly escalated into a more wrestling-oriented match up. Abyss couldn’t get his bearings up front, and Joe was relentless in his high impact offense. Eventually Abyss started to get more offense in, with a strongside slam, big splashes into the corner and charges, dropping Joe several times. Abyss hit a nice chokeslam, catching Joe off the top rope, and things weren’t looking good for the submission master Joe. Abyss took a sick head shot with a chair, and afterwards got hit with Joe’s finisher, he kept reaching for the ropes and it looked like he was going to make it, but he tapped out. Overall this match was definitely a physical one, but it didn’t top that women’s tag title’s match up, which was way more solid by comparison.
Bischoff backstage had to deal with Lashley’s wife. It was a stupid segment.
Bubba the Love Sponge was backstage and Beer Money was laid out cold.
The Nasty Boys finally got into the arena, with help from Bubba.
Backstage Jeff Hardy kissed some tweens and gave them a painting. Then himself and Shannon Moore left in a Lamborghini, each had envelopes…and that was that.
The Nasty Boys tore up the Dudley’s dressing room, and spray painted the walls with “Nasty”. This was definitely interesting, but aren’t the Nasty Boys really old? I thought so.
Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a TNA World Heavyweight Title Match
This match started fast and it seemed somewhat old to me. I felt like I’ve already seen this match many times. A masked man came in and knocked out AJ and the Ref, Kurt started to fight him and he fell outside the ring. I heard the Masked man is Tyson Tomko. The match restarted and the two started to fight each other. FYI the masked man angle has been done many times before. Remember Sting and the Black Scorpion? Remember DDP in WWE? Yeah, it’s a tired gimmick.
I gotta give TNA credit this match wasn’t rushed, it wasn’t short, and it had a lot of wrestling for a free television match up for the title. Angle looked hurt towards the end of this match up, Styles was having a hard time putting the Olympic Gold Medalist away. Styles hit the Styles Clash, and after a near fall Angle was set up for another one but Angle reversed it into an Ankle Lock. It was a no go, and Ric Flair came out to the ramp to watch this match first hand. Styles hit the sweetest 450 splash I’ve seen in a LONG time! The match continued with some great counters by both men, and a lot of near falls. I’m not into the big near falls, as I think it kind of ruins finishers for people, but whatever. Styles hit a nice springboard splash and Angle was done, Styles retains the title in what would’ve been match of the night for me, if the Knockouts didn’t floor me with their tag title match earlier on.
After the match Hogan came out to talk on the mic but was interrupted, and backstage was Mick Foley looking for Hogan. Hogan ran away from the ramp to head backstage. Foley ran into Bischoff and was basically fired, well, almost. The outsiders beat up Mick Foley backstage. Hogan was left standing there looking like an idiot.
TNA’s January 4 impact wasn’t that great. It had two major matches that I liked, a lot of and I do mean a lot of filler. Lots of talk of change, with no major change. I liked the show, but it wasn’t worth all that hype I had to sift through the last couple of weeks. We’ll see if TNA does in fact change things up ahead, if not, then oh well.

TNA Impact 12/10/09 Review
Kevin Nash took over the show, as Foley went to “meet with Hogan”.
Kevin Nash announced what he had in mind for the night in wrestling, and you know what? It’s going to suck. Seriously, it’s ridiculous, and over the top….a shocking night of wrestling.
Meanwhile, Foley was looking for Dixie…this story line is stupid.
Chris Sabin defeated The British Invasion
This is the impossible. Chris Sabin managed to roll up a victory and it wasn’t that great at all. The Invasion had a few moments, but it was Sabin with the surprise win. This was a terrible opening match, and really unfathomable in regards to the result.
Awesome Kong & Scott Steiner defeated Bobby Lashley & Kristal Lashley
I’m not sure why they put in Lashley’s wife, as she’s not exactly trained as a wrestler, but I guess that’s just what happens in TNA…bad ideas. Lashley got worked by Scott Steiner, and this thing takes a turn for the worse. It’s sad to see things unfold like this, and It’s even sadder that TNA has to stoop to so low. Steiner pins Kristal and does push ups on her…Edge did that to Beulah at ECW One Night Stand. Way to be original tna…way to be original.
TNA does an interview with Samoa Joe and guess what? I have that shirt! Well I have 2 button down dickies black shirts, and it looked like that’s what Samoa Joe was wearing. It looked cool. Beer Money interrupted, and that wasn’t half bad. I like interrupted interviews.
Erik Young defeated Hamada in a global championship match
Hamada was not wrestling like she was some random woman, she was proving far better than Chyna ever did, that women can wrestle. She was amazing against Erik Young. Simply amazing, she was putting on a show, but it was too little as Erik Young used the ropes and a roll up to stop the momentum. I hated it. Hamada was amazing, and yet Young wins. Hamada is a gem of a wrestler by comparison folks, the divas have NOTHING on Hamada.
ODB defeated Tara in a non title trailer park throwdown
This was essentially just a hardcore match. It seemed interesting to me, that part of the stipulation was that they had to drink a six pack of beer. Sure, you didn’t see most of this on screen, but it was still part of Kevin Nash’s stipulation.
Jesse Neal, Rhino, Team 3D defeated Hernandez, Suicide, & Matt Morgan
I got distracted during this match, but I know that Jesse Neal won. I was in the middle of purchasing Simpsons Scene It on amazon for 7.99…yep. Sorry.
The Beautiful People wrestled in a mud wrestling match.
This match confused me once all the women started getting soaked in muddy water. I guess it’s interesting, but this was nothing more than a backroom bar type of match up.
The title shot was given to the highest bidder, and that bidder was none other than Desmond Wolfe! That’s right.
Aj Styles defeated Desmond Wolfe
This match was a little slow to start, but eventually it built into a good overall match up, but was derailed by interference by Christopher Daniels. The distraction allowed Aj styles to roll up, I kid you not, roll up Desmond Wolfe, making Wolfe look like a chump.
What a terrible night of wrestling folks. TNA continually makes terrible shows, and this is yet another one.
Post match, Christopher Daniels and Desmond Wolfe fought each other to commercial break.

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.

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

TNA Impact 6/18/09 Results and Review More Craptastic Coverage
TNA Impact 6/18/09 Results
Christopher Daniels defeated The Amazing Red
Raven defeated Jethro “The Outlaw” Holiday in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match
Awesome Kong & Taylor Wilde defeated Daffney & Angelina Love
Team 3-D & Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences & The Motor City Machine Guns
Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle & Sting and Mick Foley & Jeff Jarrett
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 4/30/09 Results
Amazing Red & Suicide defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
Doug Williams & Brutus Magnus defeated Homicide
Awesome Kong defeated Madison Rayne in a stretcher match
Abyss defeated Cody Deaner
Booker T & Kevin Nash defeated Aj Styles & Samoa Joe
Tna Impact 4/30/09 Review
The show opened u with Foley in the back talking to JB about random stuff. Jarrett refused comment, and the show began. A lame intro, that’s for sure.
Kurt Angle came out and talked about a global takeover, then we moved to Jarrett in the back telling Foley that he has to stay away from Jarrett.
Lame.
Amazing Red & Suicide defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
First thing that I noticed was that Amazing Red was in this match! He is fast and he is dead on accurate, I’m surprised to see him back. Suicide was his partner, but I didn’t care about that. Suicide wasn’t in this match a whole lot, as The Amazing Red was in there putting on a showcase. Sabin and Shelley had a few spots where they were beating up Red, but Red just kept going, eventually getting the hot tag. This match was cool, I liked Amazing Red before, but now that he’s a little older, he’s still on point and I hope I can see more of the guy in the x-division. Suicide sucks, I never liked him. Suicide Solution was hit and The Amazing Red and Suicide move forward in the tag team tournament, and wow, Amazing Red! He looks like a teenager, he’s insane, check that kid out.
Doug Williams & Brutus Magnus defeated Homicide
Homicide had to fight the British Invasion by himself, as Hernandez was taken out in the backstage area. Homicide started fighting this match with high spots, and a flurry of offense, trying to get the upper hand, he was going move for move, no resting in between, but that couldn’t and didn’t last too long. The British Invasion had a nasty tag team finisher, it was a spinning European uppercut off the top rope while someone was on their shoulders, it was like the Doomsday device reborn! I admit, I marked out huge for that. Homicide couldn’t beat two guys, and that was the end.
Awesome Kong defeated Madison Rayne in a stretcher match
Awesome Kong basically annihilated Madison Rayne. She put Madison on the stretcher several times but kept picking up Rayne again and slamming her to the mat. The fans kept yelling “One More Time” and she obliged! Awesome Kong has officially become a fan favorite! Madison was dead, this was a huge squash match, Awesome won.
The Motor City Machine Guns called out Christopher Daniels and told him that they knew that he was Suicide! That’s right, they claimed Daniels was Suicide! About time someone addressed this situation. Daniels fought off The Machine Guns, but that’s about it.
Abyss defeated Cody Deaner
This was your basic throwback to ECW, as this plunder match was just a hardcore match up. Deaner put up a good fight after spraying Alcohol into Abyss’s face. It wasn’t lasting long as Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam and it was all over. This match was short and it wasn’t very fun to watch. I like hardcore matches, but this was just a lot of dancing and random misfires.
Booker T & Kevin Nash defeated Aj Styles & Samoa Joe
I’m assuming Samoa Joe was suppose to be in this match, but Aj Styles started this match solo against the two former heavyweight champions. Mid Match Samoa Joe came down, and it was to no avail. Booker T and Kevin Nash won after Sharmell helped Booker T win this one. A championship belt shot to the head of Aj Styles and a three count later, the match was done.

Tna Impact 4/16/09 Results
Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
Tna Impact 4/16/09 Review
Like every good or bad wrestling show, this show started with people talking inside the ring. It was lame. It was just “Do you trust me” crap.
Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
This was a triple threat match. It seemed that Sabin and Naito were working together but that ended fast when Sabin hopped up out of delivering a Chin Lock to hit a nice lariat. This was fast paced and good to look at. It was high spot after high spots, but a lot of interesting fluid wrestling. This match was like watching someone play the N64 Wrestling games, because it seemed that this was choreographed by some gamer with a bit of nostalgia. Naito had some very picture perfect wrestling moves, including flyinig lariats and a beautiful bridge suplex. Sabin’s tornado ddt with a Insaguri combination was a highlight of this match up. The 187 off the middle rope ended this one, and it was picture perfect!
There was an interview with double J…lame. ODB had a backstage segment, lame. The Main Event mafia were interviewed.
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
This match didn’t even get started. I mean, it did start, but it was too short to make a good match up. The knockout division usually is good, but the last few impact shows it’s been really a slow build. This was a terrible match up, and it ended with Kong’s Implant Buster.
Post match they wanted to cut more hair, and took out Taylor Wilde and Raisha Saeed by sending them face first into the woman’s title. The Beautiful People also sprayed something into Kong’s eye and then knocked her out with the Title Belt and they went ahead and cut her hair! This had to be the ultimate humiliation.
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
I haven’t seen Daffney in a while, and I like her. She is pretty cool. I mean, she looks cool, I like her better than ODB that’s for sure. They kept playing up that Cody Deaner isn’t a wrestler, but he got in there with Abyss at one point and was basically getting trashed. Abyss gets the win in another short match.
Post match Matt Morgan ran down and beat Abyss up.
Mick Foley tried to give himself, Cactus Jack an Interview. Then Sting came out. It was stupid. This whole thing is dumb. Foley then beat up sting. This feud sucks.
Balls Mahoney showed up! Spike Dudley was there too1 The two former ECW standby’s were getting worked over by Beer Money with chairs and were just getting messed up. They definitely took a page out of ECW’s old playbook. It was pretty cool.
Jeff Jarrett introduced the Fallen Angle Christopher Daniels! That’s right, Christopher Daniels is back! That’s going to be awesome! Christopher Daniels! I marked out huge because he’s one of my favorite wrestlers in recent years.
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
This was good match up. Christopher Daniels didn’t really show a whole lot of ring rust in this match up. Kurt Angle was keeping up with a much faster and lighter Christopher Daniels and it was cool over all. The missed Asahi Moonsault from Daniels was impressive, as he landed on his feet! However that was short lived because Angle hit the rolling German suplexes and this match was heating up at this point.
And that was your Impact. This was weird. It kind of just ended with the return of Christopher Daniels and that’s about it. I don’t know what to say about this one, if you like TNA this was like half a good show. There wasn’t a whole lot to it, considering that they are having a ppv this week, I would think that they would’ve been more productive, but nope. It’s nice to see some TNA returns but overall this wasn’t that great of a show. The four disc Jeff Jarrett dvd looks interesting though.

Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
Tna Impact 4/16/09 Review
Like every good or bad wrestling show, this show started with people talking inside the ring. It was lame. It was just “Do you trust me” crap.
Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
This was a triple threat match. It seemed that Sabin and Naito were working together but that ended fast when Sabin hopped up out of delivering a Chin Lock to hit a nice lariat. This was fast paced and good to look at. It was high spot after high spots, but a lot of interesting fluid wrestling. This match was like watching someone play the N64 Wrestling games, because it seemed that this was choreographed by some gamer with a bit of nostalgia. Naito had some very picture perfect wrestling moves, including flyinig lariats and a beautiful bridge suplex. Sabin’s tornado ddt with a Insaguri combination was a highlight of this match up. The 187 off the middle rope ended this one, and it was picture perfect!
There was an interview with double J…lame. ODB had a backstage segment, lame. The Main Event mafia were interviewed.
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
This match didn’t even get started. I mean, it did start, but it was too short to make a good match up. The knockout division usually is good, but the last few impact shows it’s been really a slow build. This was a terrible match up, and it ended with Kong’s Implant Buster.
Post match they wanted to cut more hair, and took out Taylor Wilde and Raisha Saeed by sending them face first into the woman’s title. The Beautiful People also sprayed something into Kong’s eye and then knocked her out with the Title Belt and they went ahead and cut her hair! This had to be the ultimate humiliation.
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
I haven’t seen Daffney in a while, and I like her. She is pretty cool. I mean, she looks cool, I like her better than ODB that’s for sure. They kept playing up that Cody Deaner isn’t a wrestler, but he got in there with Abyss at one point and was basically getting trashed. Abyss gets the win in another short match.
Post match Matt Morgan ran down and beat Abyss up.
Mick Foley tried to give himself, Cactus Jack an Interview. Then Sting came out. It was stupid. This whole thing is dumb. Foley then beat up sting. This feud sucks.
Balls Mahoney showed up! Spike Dudley was there too1 The two former ECW standby’s were getting worked over by Beer Money with chairs and were just getting messed up. They definitely took a page out of ECW’s old playbook. It was pretty cool.
Jeff Jarrett introduced the Fallen Angle Christopher Daniels! That’s right, Christopher Daniels is back! That’s going to be awesome! Christopher Daniels! I marked out huge because he’s one of my favorite wrestlers in recent years.
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
This was good match up. Christopher Daniels didn’t really show a whole lot of ring rust in this match up. Kurt Angle was keeping up with a much faster and lighter Christopher Daniels and it was cool over all. The missed Asahi Moonsault from Daniels was impressive, as he landed on his feet!

Tna Impact 4/9/09 Results and Review Another Bad Tna
Tna Impact 3/10/09 Results
Suicide defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Samoa Joe defeated Booker T
James Storm defeated Scott Steiner via Disqualification
Awesome Kong defeated Angelina Love
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Mick Foley in a First Blood Match
Tna Impact 3/10/09 Review
I’m back, all the family has gone home and I’m back in action, writing crap.
The opening had the main event mafia out and they get Jeff Jarrett out there. For a guy that didn’t want to get into the fray, he sure is in the middle of all these storylines. The Motor City Machine guns came out and said they are for hire and have a vendetta against Foley. They get a match against Foley. It’s going to be lame. I can feel it.
Suicide defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Suicide did his thing here. I’m still not impressed by this random wrestling character. He has a few good moves, but overall, I don’t really think he’s worth the TNA’s time. No Limit was at ringside, fighting off Suicide whenever he was outside of the ring. Bashir was definitely a bit more proactive in this match as an x-division member, and really had some good fast paced moves, but Suicide seemed to not compliment the style very well. Kiyoshi hit Suicide with a huge kick, and Bashir hit a ddt on Suicide with the Belt underneath him! Suicide wins against Suicide.
We’re nearly over an hour into this program and barely have any wrestling. A lot of backstage stuff, Foley in ring rambling, stupid crap, no one likes this, I’m sure.
Samoa Joe defeated Booker T
What a terrible match. This was such a convoluted match, with little to no charisma between the two wrestlers involved. The highlight of this match was when Kurt Angle tried to interfere in the match and had AJ Styles come down and beat him up, allowing Samoa Joe to hit a powerslam and win! Yeah, that’s right, Booker T, loses to a simple Power Slam! This had to be the biggest powerslam in history, huh? It was lame.
James Storm defeated Scott Steiner via Disqualification
Scott Steiner fought James Storm in this match up. Usually confined to Beer Money as a member, Storm had his hands full with Scott Steiner in this match up. Steiner was in full control of this match up and it was apparent that Storm wasn’t meant to win this one, at least that’s how the match was going. Storm did mount a comeback, but it didn’t seem to rock the big man, the way he wanted to. Kevin Nash threw in a lead pipe and this match was thrown out.
Awesome Kong defeated Angelina Love
I usually rave about these matches but this Knockouts match wasn’t very good at all. This match was really short and Awesome Kong won with a reversal pin! This was a dumb match and afterwards, the Beautiful People tried to cut Awesome Kong’s hair.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Mick Foley in a First Blood Match
This was a dismantling of the young tag team. This was supposed to be an easy win for the Motor City Machine guns, and Foley made it a first blood match, creating an interesting little match up, but overall it wasn’t that good at all. Foley gave the Mandible Claw and afterwards his sock had a little blood on it, so the Ref was going to call the match up, but Foley intimidated him and continued to wrestle. Foley brought in a barbed wire bat into this match up, and was ready to strike but Foley was hit in the head with a Chair by Sting and was busted wide open, losing the match.
This TNA was terrible, and almost made me not want to watch TNA any more.

TNA Impact 3/26/09 Results and Review Crap Captains
The opening of the night was an in ring announcement by Jim Cornette, because they are going to have captains chosen for the big Lockdown ppv. This whole segment, was just a big melee. Angle and Jarrett are going to be in the lockdown tonight or something, and that’s all that happened.
Suicide defeated Kiyoshi
This match started out fast paced and carried through with a good interesting overall initial run. Suicide seemed to have Kiyoshi scouted, as he was able to turn moves into counters, but Kiyoshi kept bring out new stuff. It’s weird that the crowd was cheering Suicide, considering he is a relatively unknown wrestler. Kiyoshi was never meant to win this match, and it seemed painfully obvious towards the end of the match up. Suicide finished off Kiyoshi with the Suicide Solution and it was all over. Not the greatest match, but it was adequate enough.
There was a lot of backstage vignettes and random bs at this point. We’re talking about 40 minutes past the hour and we finally get another match up. This is a tough wrestling show to watch.
Velvet Sky & Angelina Love defeated Raisha Saeed & Awesome Kong
I’m not a big fan of the TNA commentating team. They never really focus on the match up at all. They seem to be talking about random crap, and storylines, rather than the match at hand. That’s not to say that this match was a technical classic, but it deserved more attention than the commentating team gave it. The reason why Awesome Kong and Saeed lost was because Awesome Kong didn’t really get into the match.
Post match, the beautiful people tried to cut Awesome Kong’s hair. It didn’t work, and that was that.
Samoa Joe pinned Kurt Angle to win a 20 man gauntlet cage match
The main event was a 20 man gauntlet match inside of a steel cage. This thing was lengthy and interesting to say the least. This is a weird match, and it reminds me of that bunkhouse stampede that NWA had in the mid 80’s. I’ll try to find that match for you guys to watch, but overall this match was like a royal rumble inside a steel cage. While it looks good on paper, it wasn’t really that entertaining to watch on television as it seemed that everyone was basically phoning it in, because of limited space. The final three guys were Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, and Jeff Jarrett. This is the most predicable thing that could happen! If the last two winners are team captains then when Scott Steiner was eliminated the match should’ve ended. Nope, it didn’t happen….Steiner never left the cage and fought Jeff Jarrett, causing Kurt Angle to roll him up for the pin! Kurt Angle pinned Jarrett and I thought it was over. However, out came Samoa Joe #20 and he dropped Angle on the back of his head, and boom, Samoa Joe is the winner and the second team captain!
I have to give TNA credit, they really gave the main event a lot of time to develop. The main event easily took up 75% of the last hour, and was interesting to watch at times. You knew that the x-division guys weren’t going to win, and you know a bunch of people weren’t going to win, but you stuck with it to see if Jarrett would pull this one off, and he almost did. Angle seems to have forgotten about Sting. Sting wasn’t even on this show wrestling…and why is Foley in the main event for a title shot? What a joke.
This edition of TNA may have been the best edition of Impact in a long time, but that is not saying much, is it? Yep.

TNA Impact 3/19/09 Results and Review Sting What Side Is He On
Here we go, a few days after the big ppv this last weekend, and hopefully it doesn’t completely suck.
The Main Event Mafia started the show. Most notable was Scott Steiner, his face fully covered, was in the background. Kurt Angle started calling out Sting yet again. After a few comments, Kurt Angle called out Jeff Jarrett, who promptly came down and said Angle doesn’t deserve crap! Foley showed up and started to talk crap…they were losing me. Jeff Jarret and Mick Foley will wrestle Sting & Kurt Angle later tonight!
No Limit w/ Kiyoshi defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
This was a good overall International tag team match up. This was fast moving action with little to no psychology. I didn’t mind, considering the language barrier and the sheer amount of great wrestling moves I’ve seen in a long time. The Bridge suplex mid match was picture perfect! The Japanese team of No Limit won this fast match up and it wasn’t half bad. After the match Beer Money ran down and knocked everyone out.
Beer Money called out Team 3-D they are going to wrestle in a cage at the next ppv.
ODB & Taylor Wilde defeated Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed
This match didn’t have enough time to develop. It ended up being kind of boring. The match was rushed and while it had a few spots, it really was rushed, and well, the good guys win again. Or should I say, the good girls? Women? Whatever.
Samoa Joe vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir no contest
This match never happened. Samoa Joe pounced, beat up the ref then took Bashir to the back beating him along the way. We then got thrown into another commercial. Seriously, this wasn’t even worth it.
Aj Styles gets a trophy and some money for winning the Veteran’s championship. Boring.
The Governor defeated Madison Rayne
I’m so sick of this stupid gimmick. I don’t know why they keep pushing this “Palin” gimmick, but it is stupid to me. What makes this worse for me is the fact that The Governor can’t really wrestle all that well. She’s got a few moves, but overall, the beautiful people’s constant interference messed with the timing and dare I say, made it better? Yeah. The Governor pulled out a victory after a quick roll up, creating another boring match up. After the match up, they cut The Governor’s hair. This match felt really rushed, and it seemed like the post match had more in ring psychology than the actual match up! Sad state of affairs for the TNA Knockouts.
Samoa Joe was torturing Sheik Abdul Bashir, hanging him upside down and beating him with a kendo stick. This cleared the FCC? Wow, this is dumb. Samoa Joe used to put on four star matches, now he’s just stupid and psychotic. This is unnecessary, yet they keep pushing it in our faces. Lame.
Jeff Jarrett & Mick Foley defeated Kurt Angle & Sting
This match started with Angle and Jarrett exchanging classic wrestling holds, and Double J proving that he still has it in him to lift himself for a perfect drop kick. Foley was tagged in and you know what? The dude can chain wrestle, not the best chain wrestling I’ve ever seen, it was just good for Foley. Of course, Foley isn’t in the best shape of his career and it showed in this match up. Of course, the ref was knocked out, and so was everyone in the ring except for Jarrett and Angle. Sting got hold of Jarrett’s Guitar, Foley got a Chair and leveled Sting! The ref got down and counted the three, and things just kind of ended with that.
Overall, this edition of TNA Impact wasn’t all that good. TNA needs to strengthen their roster with better matches, less backstage shenanigans and just straight forward wrestling. That’s their strong suit, and yet they don’t use it. Too bad.

TNA Impact 3/5/09 Results and Review Angle Suspended
TNA opens with a message from Jeff Jarrett. He states that Angle has been suspended without pay for beating up Foley and himself. Then we get into the night of wrestling…oh boy.
The show continued to having Sting out at ringside and getting a pep talk from Kevin Nash. It was boring. The same thing that was going on for a while now, nothing to even mention; TNA is doing it wrong, that’s for sure, another terrible opening from Tna, thanks.
Alex Shelley defeated Kiyoshi
The small guys throw together an ok match up. Kiyoshi is an interesting wrestler and has a definitive Great Muta vibe going. I still think Alex Shelley has the worst music in professional wrestling. I haven’t heard such lame music for a champion in a long time. The match seemed a half step too slow, and I wonder if Kiyoshi has a language barrier in this match up. He put up a great match but the champion seemed to know what to do, and how to react to Kiyoshi’s strong style of wrestling. Overall, this match was way too slow. I think that TNA needs to allow more time for these x-division match ups to develop.
Post match, Suicide came down to the ring and beat up The Motor City Machine Guns. This masked wrestler is the worst idea for TNA. Whomever is under the mask, sucks.
The Beautiful People defeated Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed and Sojourner Bolt & Rhaka Khan, and Roxxi & Taylor Wilde
The knockouts are ok. At least in this match, there’s just too much going on in this match. A lot of fast moves, a lot of quick tags, and not a whole lot of in ring action. This match was way too fast, and it finished quickly, with interference from Madison Rayne. I’m not sure why TNA doesn’t let their matches develop stories, they just go out there and have clusters of explosive action. It’s funny to me that they have Governor Palin in there, she’s dropping bombs with the Thrilla from Wasilla! It’s funny to me because my wife is from Alaska, and I’ve been to that city, it’s nothing crazy. Alright, the match was ok at best.
Samoa Joe brings out a knife and nearly cuts Scott Steiner with it. Also, Aj Styles stole the Legends Title, only to get arrested for it. Then Don West and Mike Tenay argued over some random crap, all of this and no wrestling action.
Matt Morgan defeated Shane Sewell
This match was a squashing of Shane Sewell. Matt Morgan sucks, and doesn’t really showcase a lot of charisma to me. Matt Morgan wins, easy, and that’s it.
Oh, the running gag on the show was that Double J gave Kurt Angle’s salary to the x-division guys. They all bought suits and looked sharp on Angle’s dime. So every other interview had Kurt Angle beating them up for it. It was lame, but it’s the running gag.
LAX defeated Beer Money via disqualification
Once again, the best part of TNA this week has to be these tag team title matches. Beer Money has some great chemistry together and reminds me a lot of the old Brain Busters team at times. LAX looked like they were on the way to another title reign,but Beer Money deliberately were disqualified so that they wouldn’t loose the belts! LAX wins, but doesn’t get the titles. Team 3-D runs down to help LAX and Beer Money make their exits.
At the start of Impact Double J clearly said he wasn’t a wrestler and that Sting would handle Kurt Angle. At the end of the show Double J and Kurt Angle were fighting each other. This was basically a street fight, and Double J was desperately trying to get over with the TNA impact crowd. He was basically fighting Kurt Angle tooth & nail. Jeff Jarrett threw Kurt Angle out of the building, with a little help from Team 3-D and Mick Foley, and the crowd went nuts for this ending of Impact.
You know what? Not bad Tna, you guys made something crappy turn out kind of cool at the end. Good job for once.

Oh, the running gag on the show was that Double J gave Kurt Angle’s salary to the x-division guys. They all bought suits and looked sharp on Angle’s dime. So every other interview had Kurt Angle beating them up for it. It was lame, but it’s the running gag.
LAX defeated Beer Money via disqualification
Once again, the best part of TNA this week has to be these tag team title matches. Beer Money has some great chemistry together and reminds me a lot of the old Brain Busters team at times. LAX looked like they were on the way to another title reign,but Beer Money deliberately were disqualified so that they wouldn’t loose the belts! LAX wins, but doesn’t get the titles. Team 3-D runs down to help LAX and Beer Money make their exits.
At the start of Impact Double J clearly said he wasn’t a wrestler and that Sting would handle Kurt Angle. At the end of the show Double J and Kurt Angle were fighting each other. This was basically a street fight, and Double J was desperately trying to get over with the TNA impact crowd. He was basically fighting Kurt Angle tooth & nail. Jeff Jarrett threw Kurt Angle out of the building, with a little help from Team 3-D and Mick Foley, and the crowd went nuts for this ending of Impact.
You know what? Not bad Tna, you guys made something crappy turn out kind of cool at the end. Good job for once.

Tna Against All Odds 2009 Results and Review
The February ppv for TNA had a stacked card. Well, Stacked for TNA, and it was interesting to say the least. Here is how it all happened live on PPV!
Alex Shelley defeated Eric Young
Eric Young finally got another shot at the x-division title shot, and this time it’s not with Sheik Abdul Bashir. It’s against Alex Shelley, and you know what? The Alex Shelley music sucks so bad, man they need to get him something heavier. This match started out really well. Eric Young had a few missteps and Shelley took advantage of that, making a go for it, and introduction Young to a world of pain, with a lot of rest holds and random submission holds. Eric Young got a second win, and started blocking Alex Shelley’s attempts to get the upper hand. Eric Young then turned things around with a top rope leg drop and then things started to look on the up and up for him, until he missed a moonsault! I definitely thought this match some serious legs, and things looked like they were over many different times. I haven’t seen a good match in a while, and it seems that at least once or twice a month TNA introduces to us what professional wrestling is all about. The super bulldog from Shelley was insane, and the huge frog splash was incredible to say the least. After the near falls from those two moves, there seemed to be a few misses, and I swore that Eric Young screwed up a little. While Eric Young was distracted Shelley took the advantage and rolled up Young, pulled the tights and won the match! Alex Shelley retains the X-division championship.
Big Poppa Pump defeated Petey Williams
I personally feel that this is a complete mismatch, but that’s just me. I don’t know about you, but these two are NOT evenly matched whatsoever. Scott Steiner was getting the best of Petey Williams, creating a David vs Goliath scenario that we see a lot in the WWE with Rey Mysterio. Petey did manage a lot of short dropkicks, ala Konnan, and Steiner definitely had to really sell them, because Williams was proving to be a little more agile than I thought he would be against Big Poppa Pump. Steiner was flustered midway through this match, and it showed as the match went on longer. Steiner has a lot of weight to carry and it didn’t look like Steiner was working on his Cardio too much. Williams was basically smothered throughout the match up. Steiner cinched on the Steiner Recliner on Williams, but Petey managed to get to the ropes and Steiner let him go. Steiner defeated Petey Williams with the first time I’ve seen a reverse Piledriver since Owen Heart screwed up Stone Cold’s neck! Steiner wins with one of the sickest piledriver’s I’ve ever seen. He then finishes things off after the match up with a huge Angle slam off the middle rope.
FYI Samoa Joe’s new face pain makes him look stupid. He calls out Scott Steiner.
Brutus Magnus defeated Chris Sabin
Magnus put out an open challenge. Sabin answered, but his theme music made him look like a chump. This match was kind of funny to me. Magnus is NOT as big as the monster he is trying to portray. His style is similar to Lex Luger’s old style, but he isn’t as big or as tall. He spent a lot of the time trying to look more monstrous than he really was. Magnus hit some finishing move and got the win. Sabin didn’t stand a chance, Sabin sucks and his music sucks.
Someone should tell TNA that they don’t need a 20 minute backstage interview with Team 3-D. They aren’t Hogan, they aren’t Ultimate Warrior, they aren’t charismatic enough to get that kind of position. Oh well.
Awesome Kong defeated ODB
Awesome Kong went right to work on ODB after an initial flurry from the latter. Things weren’t too unlike what we already see on impact, with ODB getting in a good amount of offense before Awesome Kong started to throw her weight around, literally. Awesome Kong then hit a succession of her signature moves, and finally the Implant buster and BOOM! Awesome Kong defeats ODB once again proving that she is the most dominant of all the TNA knockouts.
Booker T defeated Shane Sewell
Booker T looked weak in a lot of this match up. The former or current ref was going nuts after a few minutes of getting beat. His style isn’t lending well to the much taller and bigger Booker T. Once things were going his way, he dropped his guard and Booker T made him pay! Booker T took out the ref, and kept his “legends” title, in one of the worse feuds ever produced for professional wrestling today. Booker T won this one, and then was set to beat on the ref more, but out came Aj Styles! Aj Styles came out and started fighting off Booker! Booker was taking some major shots, and most likely will defend the legends belt against AJ Styles later on. In fact, to foreshadow that, Styles was standing in the ring with the Belt and got on the mic to yammer…lame.
Abyss defeated Matt Morgan
Abyss took a lot of punishment in this match up. The match went all over the arena and eventually got back to the inside of the ring. Matt Morgan was letting Abyss work stiff, as Abyss was hitting heavy handed, closed fists to the top of his head. Abyss was taking liberties at different moments. Eventually the match got more plunder involved and after a few referee bumps, things really got out of control. Abyss eventually landed a black hole slam onto a chair for the big win. Abyss went out and got some thumbtacks and spread them all over the ring, but Morgan left before any damage could be done. Overall a stupid match, with no major moments that I can remember; which hopefully means we’ll never see these idiots fight again.
Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences
If you’ve seen one tag team title match between Beer Money and any other team on the TNA roster, than you’ve seen them all. This match didn’t exactly thrill too hard. Sure there were moments where you thought someone was going to win, but overall it was the standard Beer Money doing whatever they could to win. So by saying that much, you got a good overall tag team match up. Beer Money is a sure fire throwback to the glory days of Tag Team wrestling! These guys are going to go on to be one of the hall of famers…as far as teams are concerned. Lethal Consequences got a lot of tags in this match up, which is expected. Beer Money walked away yet again with the titles, proving that they are probably hands down the best tag team in TNA right now.
Sting defeated Kurt Angle, Devon Dudley, and Bubba Ray Dudley
I was under the impression that this match was a four way match up, but Team 3D kept it a tag team affair. For the most part it was just them beating the hell out of Sting and Kurt Angle. Right when I started writing that, they were left in the ring together, alone, and they started to go at each other. They just went back and forth, nothing too spectacular, just rights and lefts with Devon getting the early edge before Bubba Ray started shifting his weight around and getting the upper hand. Devon is obviously the more fit of the two as Bubba Ray got tired fast and the two ended their action with a double clothesline, picture perfect double Clothesline; their fight was short lived. The match took a turn for the fun when Sting got locked into a figure four right next to Kurt Angle who was locked into a Boston crab submission hold! He was trying to pin Sting, who was right next to him. Both competitors got out of the holds and they started fighting each other. Kurt Angle got the better of the battle, and I thought for sure he was going to take Sting in this match up, as he was setting Sting up to lose this one. Best spot of the night, definitely was the Doomsday Device that Team 3-D did on Kurt Angle. After the dust settled, Sting hit the scorpion death lock on Bubba Ray to win this one and retain the TNA World Title.

TNA Impact 1/8/09 Review and Results
It’s been a couple of weeks since I ventured into a full review of TNA and that’s all because they haven’t had a full show, until now. Hopefully in 2009 TNA doesn’t suck as bad as they were doing all last year. It’s been a tough road, but I’m sure they’ll figure something out.
Alex Shelley defeated Eric “Showtime” Young
The match opened up fast and furious. Shelley was all over Young, creating some high spots right out of the box. It started off quite well, and Shelley wasn’t letting up at all. All points were going for Alex Shelley as he was dropping bombs onto Eric Young. Young was definitely not doing so well in this match up, and it just seemed like he was jobbing, until Young turned things around with a quick counter out of the corner and just went for it! However, Chris Sabin turned things around for Shelley as he interfered, hitting Eric Young and allowing Shelley to hit sliced bread, creating another win for Alex Shelley in this x-division championship, semi-final match up.
Post match, Referee Shane was getting beat up by Sheik Abdul Bashir! However he went nuts and exploded, he started fighting back, and he might get fired? Whatever, he’s the best thing I’ve seen in a long time, and if he gets a match against Bashir, it would be rad. Jim Cornette fires Referee Shane, and turns him into a full time wrestler and he will get to wrestle Abdul Bashir one on one at Genesis!
Awesome Kong defeated Madison Rayne
Awesome Kong had an easy match against the new woman’s wrestler Madison Rayne. This wasn’t even close, Rayne didn’t get any offense in before getting dropped with the Awesome Bomb. Kong wins again, proving that she’s the biggest obstacle to the Women’s championship.
Matt Morgan defeated Robert Roode
I hate when wrestling shows do this, they split the tag teams and have singles match ups as a preliminary warm up to the weekend’s ppv tag team contest. Roode was doing great in this match, and while Morgan started this match with a lot more gusto, Roode was in control for the majority of this match up. Robert Roode either faked a knee injury or legitimately or tried to pull a fast one.
Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal & Consequences Creed defeated Beer Money Inc. for the the TNA Tag Team Championship Titles
Beer Money got thrown into an impromptu match thanks to feast or fired! The Tag team championship titles were on the line here, and this was definitely reminiscent of the WWE money in the bank match ups and opportunities. Lethal gets the last laugh in this match up as he trips up half of beer money into the steel briefcase, then uses the briefcase to knockout one of the members of Beer Money Inc. creating a NEW TNA World Tag Team Champions! Creed and Lethal are your new TNA Tag Team Champions!
Kurt Angle defeated BG James
I don’t know anyone that really thought BG James would win in this match against Kurt Angle. BG had a few hits in this match, but overall, Kurt Angle dominated this match up and really put the boots to BG. There wasn’t anything to this match other than a Kurt Angle highlight show. The Main Event Mafia comes out, sans Sting, and they bring out a chair, and stomp on it, trying to break the ankle of BG ala Brian Pillman and Stone Cold Steve Austin…remember that? You better remember.
Overall not a bad show, but not a great show. It seemed that there was just too much story and not enough wrestling, as usual.

TNA Impact 12/25/08 Results and Review Christmas Edition
I can’t believe TNA Impact ran a show on Christmas. This might be the worst move that TNA has done in a long time, but whatever, here is a review and results for TNA’S Christmas Day show.
Chris Sabin defeated Kiyoshi
This match was ok at best, Sabin pulled out quite the victory over Kiyoshi, who reminds me a lot of the Great Muta. This match was not as good as the debut we saw last week, but Sabin held his own and won the match with the Cradleshock.
Post match Shane the ref was getting punked out by Sheik Abdul Bashir, only to prompt Suicide to come down into the ring and change things up.
Eric Young vs. Alex Shelley
It was an hour into the show when this second match started. This match began in the backstage area where Shelley was talking smack about Eric Young and the two ended up fighting into the ring, and I’m not sure what happened. I guess this wasn’t the match? It was just a brawl for no reason? That means that TNA only had one match in 1 hour! What a piece of crap wrestling show, this is the worst thing that could ever happen in regards to wrestling, what a piece of trash. This made me mad.
Booker T & Scott Steiner vs. Aj Styles & Brother Devon (no contest)
This match started at around 10:05 according to my clock and I was getting fed up with tna altogether. I wasn’t interested in this match up at all, but I always enjoy Aj Styles, so I gave it a chance. This match was dominated by the frontline, each one giving some tough shots to Steiner. Steiner however did have some excellent suplexes, but overall this match started out one sided and eventually evened out with the main event mafia taking over midway. After the commercial break the announce team informs us that this match is now a no contest because the four men have now spilled to outside the ring and into the crowd and parking lot! This broke out into a huge brawl back into the ring, and even prompted Mick Foley to come out and get physically involved! That’s right, Foley was in there and out came Socko! That’s right, Foley was out there beating the hell out of the main event mafia, insane indeed.
ODB, Roxxy, Christy Hemme, and Taylor Wilde defeated Raisha Saeed, Sojourner Bolt, Awesome Kong, and Rhaka Khan
The women of tna dressed in their most festive outfits fought each other in a tag team match up that featured all the women in the ring at the same time. This match really lost control fast and the ref had a hard time controlling the action, but it was alright, because the hard camera stayed in position and you saw the better parts of this match up. Eventually things spilled out to the outside of the ring and there was a great high spot from Taylor Wilde, creating an awesome reaction and great position for the knockouts to prove yet again that they are ten times better than the wwe divas! The match came down to Taylor Wilde scoring the pin for her team and once again proving that the TNA knockouts are 100 billion times better than anything that wwe is doing right now with their women’s division.
Kurt Angle vs. Rhino (No Contest)
This was a rematch from the ppv, which makes me want to never ever get another TNA ppv in my lifetime. Seriously, how many times are wrestling companies going to give us these matches free, after the fact? This is stupid. Anyways, this match up was standard to say the least. Angle really was lazy out there, focusing more on trying to antagonize Jeff Jarrett, whom was out at ringside, including spitting in his face! Kurt Angle was trying to draw as much heat as he could, meanwhile Rhino was chasing the former champ to try and get this match over with. If you’ve seen one Kurt Angle match you’ve seen them all, as this match really didn’t poise a lot of new combat for either wrestler involved. This match was interesting to me on many levels, but mostly because I had nothing better to do on my Christmas night, as I had to work in the morning and it doesn’t matter to me if I’m tired the next day. Kurt Angle got the ankle lock submission late in the match, in the middle of the ring, and things looked bad but Angle was sent to the floor right by Double J, and this caused Angle to slap Jeff Jarrett!
This match was thrown out as Jeff Jarrett interfered and attacked Kurt Angle. The backstage area cleared out and the two were separated. This was ok for all intents and purposes but I wasn’t truly convinced. BG James was sucker punched by Angle at the end, and it was all over. I’m tired.

This match was thrown out as Jeff Jarrett interfered and attacked Kurt Angle. The backstage area cleared out and the two were separated. This was ok for all intents and purposes but I wasn’t truly convinced. BG James was sucker punched by Angle at the end, and it was all over. I’m tired.

TNA Impact 11/13/08 Christian Gets Made
Here we go TNA starts again with Foley and Jarrett backstage…and then we get that mid 90’s Raw intro. It’s pretty lame. Didn’t hip hop hardcore go down a long time ago? I feel cheated somehow. I still hate the six sided ring. Seriously, go back to the regular ring already! Oh well.
Rhaka Khan and Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi and Taylor Wilde
This apparently was a rematch of sorts from the ppv, and the match was similar in scope. It was the TNA’s way of switching it up a little with Khan in there trying to mix it up with Wilde and Roxxi. This was a pretty cool match and once again the women are just great in the ring. I love these women, as they put on a great show every week, and they are more than just pretty faces, they can actually wrestle! I’m always impressed by the TNA knockouts. Awesome Kong dropped Roxxi yet again with the implant buster and it was over.
Eric Young defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
This x-division title match caught me by surprise. Eric Young was no longer that nervous guy that came out and wrestled every now and again, now he’s in there confident as ever. Bashir is ok, but he seems a little slow at times. Young was grounded for a good portion of this match. Bashir eventually delivers a low blow and pushes the referee! The ref snaps and attacks Bashir! Eric Young then capitalizes by winning the the x-division title! That’s right, Eric Young, despite getting in very little offense in this match wins the x-division title!
Scott Steiner defeated Rhino
Rhino dominated this match up, and Steiner was slow out there. He has lost a little weight though. He defeats Rhino after interference from Kurt Angle, and this match was a quick one and just lame to me. It was your average Scott Steiner suck fest.
Sting defeated Jay Lethal
I never liked when the world champion would wrestle the undercard, or the lower card. It just seemed like the company was thinking that I’m a stupid fan. There’s no way Jay Lethal was going to defeat Sting. There was just no way, and he didn’t. The thing that surprised me about this match was the amount of punishment Sting took in this match. Jay Lethal was dishing out all his moves, and Sting was always coming back. After some interference, Sting won this match up. The Motor City Machine Guns inadvertently cost Jay Lethal the match up!
Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Beer Money via DQ
Samoa Joe and Aj were dishing out a lot of punishment in the early parts of this match and they were looking good together, as if they were team mates for a long time. Team 3D came down to ringside and Beer Money turns things around and look strong. This is how you do tag team wrestling, finally someone in professional wrestling does it right. This match was actually good, and it brought me back to the good ol’ days of real tag teams that don’t split up after a few matches to fight each other. This match was good, and we saw some good back and forth action from both sides. Team 3D interferes and causes the disqualification and takes out Beer Money!
Christian gets beat up at the end of the show for wanting to go to WWE. He gets torn up, seriously torn up. Dang.
