Tna Lockdown 2009 Review
That’s right folks, we get another TNA ppv, and I don’t know how I do it, but I get to review it because Comcast lets me every now and again. So here we go, the tna review, or however it is you want me to call this thing.
Eric Young defeated Danny Bonaduce
Eric Young is so much bigger than Danny. That’s the first thing that I saw in this match up. Eric Young was laying into Danny and it looked great, but Danny got a few shots in, nothing too insane, but he was trying more than the average jobber. Eric Young defeated Danny after a few minutes, and this was a throwaway match up.
Post match Danny attacked young from behind, but Rhino ran down to ringside and speared the crap out of Danny, and this segment finally ended.
What a terrible thing to give away in the pre-show, but it was free…well…free for those that ordered it.
Suicide defeated Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal, Kiyoshi, Consequences Creed, and Sheik Abdul Bashir
I was under the assumption that there were teams in this match up, it all confused me; Specifically because this match up was just left and right action. Everyone was just free for all, with the exception of Lethal and Creed, who were teaming together to make things a little different.
Kiyoshi was eliminated first.
Creed and Machismo together were doing good as a team. I liked how they were cleaning house and trying to make this match more than just high spots. It wasn’t meant to be though, Sheik hit the DDT of Mass Destruction and eliminates Creed.
Consequences Creed was eliminated next.
Suicide’s running lariat eighteen minutes into the match up was nice. He turned Lethal inside out!
Black Machismo got eliminated somewhere, when I went to a bathroom break and my wife was reading her twitter instead of watching the wrestling. Lame.
I came back to see Suicide and Bashir getting into the match up hook line and sinker. At this point I wanted Suicide to lose cause he’s lame. I don’t really like Bashir, but at this point, he’s better than Suicide. Kiyoshi ran down to ringside and tried to stop Suicide from getting out of the cage. He jumped off of the top onto a pile of people to win this match up. This was a terrible match, in 23 minutes, the x-division was suppose to be good.
ODB defeated Madison Rayne, Sojourner Bolt, and Daffney
I’m assuming this too was an elimination match. These things confuse me, I want to say that TNA is NOT all gimmicky crap, but this is just another nail in their coffin. I hate this crap.
ODB won this match. I guess it wasn’t an elimination match up. It was a queen of the cage! This was an ok match, but it was just boring to me. There were a few high spots, but not really something that was going to gain more fans. They really wasted their time with this match up.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated LAX, and No Limit in a WGP Jr. Tag Championship match up
When WCW had those great N64 games I would make matches like this. Seriously, I made these types of matches. That’s also how slow this match was. The middle of the ring was opened up for the most part. The edges were filled with people hitting right hands, elbows, and the middle had Hernandez hitting power moves. Seriously, I hate this crappy wrestling. TNA STOP MAKING Six Sided Cage matches with 20 people inside! Ok, not 20, but if you saw this match, you know what I’m talking about. There just wasn’t enough room in this match to make something good. There were too much competitors in a small ring, and it just came across as stupid to me. Maybe the Chocolate Stout was talking at this point, but I really didn’t think this match was all that good at all. This match was one fall and The Motor City Machine Guns won. I didn’t like it.
Matt “The Blueprint” Morgan defeated Abyss
This match stared with Abyss driving himself into Matt Morgan, shoving his weight around, trying to throw Morgan through the cage as he was just opening up like a house on fire against Matt Morgan. Matt Morgan knocked out Abyss with a kick to the face with a chair, and busted him wide open, creating the first major casualty on the ppv as far as blood is concerned. Morgan then started to lay into the forehead of Abyss. Matt Morgan introduced something I haven’t seen in a very long time. He brought out a bag full of shards of glass! Yea, that was a little weird, and I guess it was part of the match. It couldn’t have been real glass because Morgan was grasping the pieces with his bare hands, and you know that’s not possible without cutting your hand. The Ref got taken out with a Matt Morgan cross body block and business really started to pick up here. Stevie Richards came down to ringside to stop Abyss from using a chair on Matt Morgan! That’s right, Stevie Richards ran down to ringside to stop Abyss! I guess the big revelation was that Doctor Stevie is none other than Stevie Richards. Richards got into the ring to stop Abyss, verbally assaulting him, then slapping him, trying to stop him from using tacks. Morgan than hit a huge slam on Abyss onto thumbtacks and glass; he won after pinning Abyss.
I admit, the match started of great, but it really slowed down to nothing more than a parody of a Mick Foley, mid 90’s match. Abyss has a lot of talent, and he’s just taking pointless risks at this point. Matt Morgan shouldn’t be involved in this feud, but oh well. Stevie Richards return? That was kind of cool, I have to admit that.
Angelina Love defeated Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde in a triple threat Knockout championship match
A triple threat match isn’t exactly what I wanted at this point. Honestly, an hour into this thing and I personally no longer cared about this ppv, it just seemed overkill as it always does to have every match in a steel cage. It never worked for WWE and it doesn’t work for TNA right now. At least not for me, I didn’t really like it. This match had some great spots from Awesome Kong. Kong missed a top rope dive, she also had to fight of Taylr Wilde. The ending of this match up came with Angelina Love playing possum. She had her tag team partner outside tie up Kong’s hair to the cage and so she was stuck. Taylor Wilde then was surprised by Love playing possum, a roll up happened and we got the pinfall win and NEW Knockout champion Angelina Love! Not a great match, not a memorable title change, but it happens.
Team 3-D defeated Beer Money in a IWGP Tag Team Titles & TNA Tag Team Titles Match
With so much hype over those New Japan belts in this match, I had it in mind to root for Team 3-D because they are in need of another championship. This match started with Team 3-D cleaning house, literary, throwing Beer Money out of the ring, then following them out to trash them. The fight went into the audience, then we got the good ol’ fashioned split screen. Things came towards the ring, and a table was set up! Beer Money double suplexed Devon through a table at ringside, then threw Bubba Ray Dudley into the cage, his face completely busted open. The third rope Bubba Bomb onto Robert Roode was definitely a highlight for me that was incredible. Towards the end of this match up, Team 3-D really got into a groove and looked great. They seemed to be having fun for a change, and things were going quite well for them. Devon was getting a table, Bubba was setting up, Beer Money was down and reeling from the onslaught of offense. But then Beer Money got a leg up, and started to use their skills to strike like the champs that they are. Throwing Team 3-D into the cage, setting up the Last Call, and just trying everything they could to win this match up. Beer Money miscalculated the cage door bump to the head, and Team 3-D hit 3D to win this match up! They are the new TNA Champions!
Chris Daniels, Aj Styles, Samoa Joe, Jeff Jarrett defeated Kurt Angle, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash
Kurt Angle and Chris Daniels started this first period, and they were just mat wrestling. Nothing too crazy was happening in this match up, then Booker T came down and him and Kurt Angle were having their way with Daniels. (I know that sounds gross, but it was true man, what can I say). Scott Steiner jumped into the match and it had some nice belly to belly suplexes off the top rope on Styles and Daniels! Samoa Joe was scheduled to come out but for some reason he wasn’t coming out. He just stayed behind, and then came out with a few seconds later. He immediately hit Steiner, then went back and forth with the Main Event Mafia, hitting every suplex in the book, reminding me of Tazz’s old wrestling style. Kevin Nash came out, but was immediately kicked in the face by Joe, hitting the fence immediately. Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe exchanged blows outside, but then he forced himself into the ring and was just dominating early on. With so many bodies in the ring, this thing started to really slow down. Then came down Jeff Jarrett and things were starting to pick up in an all new way. This match was fairly gimmick free, until the roof of the cage lowered down with all sorts of weapons hanging from the top of it! Oh man, this is the biggest gimmick match of all, and what a load of crap. This was worse than the old Raven’s funhouse matches. They switched to a six way camera view of the action and I had no idea what to watch, this was like a weird video game of some kind. Aj Styles and Kurt Angle were fighting on top of the cage. This looked very dangerous, a lot more dangerous than the Hell in the Cell bump. Aj jumped off the top into the middle of the ring, and it looked like Steiner just got his knee blown out! Not a lot of people caught him it was bad, it was really bad, and it was a great match pivot point at this time. There were just too many people in the ring, which made things really bad. There was just too much going on for the camera’s to follow. In fact this reminded me of the old wrestling games on Genesis or SNES, just a lot of crap going on in the ring, the occasional nice finisher, but nothing really going good. Jarrett hit Booker T with a guitar shot, AJ pinned him and this train wreck of a match completely blew up and it was over. This match sucked, I’m sorry, it was just too jumbled.
Post match, the lights went out. Then out came none other than Bobby Lashley! That’s right, Bobby Lashley came out! BOBBY LASHLEY came out and pointed his finger at the cage!
Cactus Jack defeated Sting to win the TNA Championship
I saw Beyond the Mat this weekend and boy was that a nice lead into this match up, which featured a much older Mick Foley in a cage match against Sting for the Tna heavyweight title. Lame. Immediately, this match turned macabre with Cactus Jack getting his face grated open through the side of the cage. This match was a good attempt at trying to entertain jaded wrestling fans, and it told a good story. Sting’s overtly better wrestling skills and stamina shown through, as Cactus Jack was trying to give it another go at it. This match had a silent crowd for the most part, until Cactus put on the Scorpion Death Lock, but didn’t get a submission out of it. This was a really slow moving match up, and Cactus started to act like a madman. At one point he slid into the cage on purpose in order to hit the camera man, and then he tried to get out of the cage through a hole made for the camera guy. Sting turned on the Scorpion Death Lock, it looked like it was going to be over somehow. Meanwhile, Foley got the barbed wire bat into the ring, and was ready to use it on Sting! Cactus Jack hit Sting in the crotch with the barbed wire bat, it looked terrible; a drop toe hold got Foley down, and Sting got the bat and was ready for revenge. Mr. Socko comes out! Sting finally gets busted open, but not really crazy. Foley took the barbed wire bat and hit Sting in the face with it. Foley and Sting started to climb out of the cage, and FOLEY drops out of the cage first, to WIN the TNA World Title! That’s right, MICK FOLEY defeats STING to win the TNA TITLE! MICK FOLEY IS THE NEW TNA CHAMPION!

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 12/4/08 Review and Results All Hail The Governer
Here we go, our first Impact back from vacation, hopefully it got better, hopefully.
First thing I noticed was that the picture looked squashed somehow, it was odd. Like it was meant for hd but they reconverted it somehow, it’s really odd.
Booker T. defeated Samoa Joe in a street fight
I’m not sure why the TNA officials allowed this match to go on television. This match should have been given to the PPV audience not the free television audience. This match was a street fight, for the legend title and the aggressor was definitely Samoa Joe. Joe was working a little stiffer than Booker was used to, at least that is what it looked like to me. This match quickly spilled out into the crowd. The match continued back into the ring, and it looked like Samoa Joe was going to win this one, it was incredible. Joe had Booker T tapping out, but out came the Beautiful people and sprayed something in the eyes of Joe and Booker T picked up the win!
ODB’s Angle sucks. Trust me, it’s horrible.
Aj Styles & Christy Hemme defeated Scott Steiner & Awesome Kong
Steiner and Styles opened up this match and for once Steiner wasn’t half bad. Styles really had some major confidence in this match up and he was pushing the big man to wrestle a better match than usual, it was partially due to the fact that Aj can bump well and his timing is so good. Awesome Kong comes in and delivers a knife edge chop on styles but can’t fight back, and this gives Steiner a good leg up. However, this match up went to the women, and it was great. Aj and Christy really worked well together and they made this match good. It was too short, but Hemme got the pinfall leading up to the ppv this weekend. It was a quick finish right after the commercial break.
Consequences Creed, Eric Young, and Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir, Sonjay Dutt and one of the machine gun
This match was alright, Sheik refused to wrestle when the ref was in there. It was basically 3 on 2 with the good guys getting a better edge here. The match was fast and was working out quite well. It was definitely one sided, and fast. Consequences Creed got the pin, and afterwards Sheik attacked Eric Young.
Rhino defeated Sting (non title match)
Sting was crazy in this match up. He was pummeling Rhino for the most part, and Rhino was busted wide open. He was bleeding all over the place, it was ridiculous to say the least. Kurt Angle ran down towards the end of the match to try and give some words to Sting. Rhino was getting worked though, he was just getting worked man, this match was near ppv quality if it was a little longer. Sting had this oene seemingly sewn up but after some quick interference from Kurt Angle and Aj Styles fighting Angle on the outside Rhino hit the gore and defeated Sting clean!

TNA Impact 11/20/08 Results and Review Leadership…Divided
The Main Event Mafia opened up the show with a casket in the ring, and they made it seem that Christian is going back to WWE for sure. I’m not sure if this is real or fake, which is interesting on one note, however, it should be interesting that Christian returns to WWE. I can’t confirm that at all, but it would be nice to see it done.
Rhino comes out now and he starts talking about Christian. It was boring. I didn’t care, and apparently neither did Kevin Nash! Hilarious. Rhino claims to be a veteran? Weird. I’m tired of this storyline, seriously, didn’t the wwe and wcw do this already? Remember the ppv “New Blood” from wcw? Didn’t they do this? Oh well. I’m tired. They basically beat up Rhino, busting him wide open with the Veterans belt. You would think that the backstage area would come down to the ring, but no one really got there. They then shoved Rhino into a casket! That’s right, Rhino was placed into a casket! I kid you not. NO TNA Wrestlers came out to save Rhino, what a load of crap.
Consequences Creed & Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal defeated Sonjay Dutt w/ So cal Val & Tanahashi
A tag team x-division match? This seems too weird, personally, I thought that the Jay Lethal Sonjay Dutt finished their feud? Not only that, when was Tanahashi heel? Seriously, this match makes no sense. Despite this not making sense, the guys put on a show. The x-division is great, these guys throw together a great piece of tandem wrestling moves, with splashes, corkscrews, and quick tags. This is a perfect example of what cruiserweight wrestlers can do, if the promotion allows them to move forward. You gotta give these guys credit, they put on one heck of a match, even if it was shorter than I’d like it to be, and it was thrown together for no apparent reason. Consequences Creed got the pin, out of the blue, and this match up was a bit too short. It was over before I had a chance to even finish my sentence. Oh well, this match didn’t really matter a whole lot.
Cornette forces Eric Young to give up the x-division title to Sheik Abdul Bashir. This turn of events directly relates to the Y2J cruiserweight division victories of 1999. Remember? From January to July, Chris Jericho found every loophole in the book to keep his title after losing it.
The Beautiful People defeated Christy Hemme & Sojourner Bolt
We get a new comer to the TNA Knockouts division. She looks good out there, a little green, but overall looks like she can be a somewhat relevant addition to the knockouts division. She took major shot to the face early on, but she hung in there for her debut. The Beautiful People were focusing on the new girl Sojourner, and the crowd was behind the new girl, but she wasn’t really getting a good comeback. Christy Hemme got the hot tag, and cleaned house. She looked good for once, but she got hit with the knock out and loses to the beautiful people yet again! I was surprised at the way this one turned out.
ODB’s show finally showed up and this thing sucked. ODB can’t act, and this show sucked. I’m tired of this horrible filler. Seriously, stupid filler.
Aj Styles & Samoa Joe defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
This match got off to an exciting start. Within the first five minutes, all members were outside of the ring and flying through the ropes, over the ropes, and onto each other! This was awesome! These guys really threw up a good opening, until commercial break, which featured the new Punisher movie, which I will be seeing, since I’m a huge Marvel Knights fan. The match returns and this thing was vast paced and didn’t really have a lot of psychology to it. It was spot after spot after spot, which is somewhat ok, but seemed like a little too much. Styles hit he Pele and then landed the styles clash for the victory! It was a good match, great stuff here, even if it was a little shorter than I’d like to see. I still don’t like that established tag teams get beat every time. It’d be nice to see an established tag team win as a team, like the old days. Oh well.
Booker T defeated Eric Young
This is interesting on one level. It’s a fresh, new match up. I like this in that aspect, however, I don’t like the fact that we know that this match is going to favor Booker T. There is no way Eric Young is going to win the veteran’s belt, there’s just no way. This match wasn’t so bad, Young focused on grounding Booker T, and Booker looked genuinely frustrated as the x-division wrestler was working him over. However, Booker turned this match around and with a lot of slow moving methodology, took apart Eric Young and defeated him as expected. Booker T wins the match after hitting the ax kick.
Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash defeated Matt “The Blueprint” Morgan & Abyss
Once again, these guys get thrown together into another match up. I don’t like Matt Morgan, but I do give TNA credit with giving him a chance to shine out there in the ring. That’s something that WWE never really did, so TNA is actually doing something different, for a change. This match started with a stale mate between Abyss and Angle. Angle didn’t look so great against the monster Abyss. Matt Morgan got into the match and things were looking great until Angle clipped him and Kevin Nash go in and delivered one heck of a lariat. The match was all Angle and Nash for the most part. However, things turned around and it was left with Nash and Morgan in the ring fighting each other. Beer Money came down, but Abyss knocked them out, and threw Angle in the ring. Beer Money smashes Abyss with a Beer Bottle and Kevin Nash jumps Abyss for the pin! Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle defeated Matt Morgan and Abyss! Once again they lose.
That was it for TNA as far as wrestling is concerned. They end their show with Mick Foley out in the ring announcing the double main event for TNA ppv. This was stupid, why would they end a wrestling show with Foley in the ring talking? This is wrestling! Let’s see some wrestling, for a change! Come on, fire all the TNA writers! Seriously, this is how you end your wrestling show? Foley is ok on the mic, but I’d rather watch one more match up, then to see Foley out there talking up a storm. Foley announces two matches, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner & Sting vs. Samoa Joe, and two unnamed opponents Aj styles but if the Main Event mafia loses, Aj Styles will be the Tna Champion! The other match up will be Kurt Angle vs. Rhino! This isn’t huge, I’m just going to tell you that right now.
The cool thing at the end of TNA was Foley getting punked out by Kurt Angle, prompting Jeff Jarrett to come out and defend him. Then Angle punked out Double J and Rhino jumped him!

TNA Impact 10/16/08 Review and Results
I’m back in action, I’m actually sick though. I have seasonal allergies + a head cold, so I’m writing with somewhat blurred vision, and am giving it my best shot
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Sonjay Dutt & Sheik Abdul Bashir
Finally, The Motor City Machine Guns get a victory and it was quite good. The duo threw up a lot of high spots on their way to winning this one, and I can’t help but notice that Dutt and Bashir aren’t half bad as a team. I’m not sure why the TNA booking pairs up these “hotshot” tag teams together to face the Machine Guns each week, but it’s a great thing to see that they finally got a victory! Seriously, this is great for The Motor City Machine Guns, since they were basically glorified jobbers. If you’ve seen other Machine Gun matches, then you’ll enjoy this one as it is a good opener, even though it is somewhat fast, it was still worth checking into and set up the show nicely.
Post match, Kurt Angle came down to the ring and basically trashed The Machine Guns, moments after their victory, taking away any glory from that might have been generated because of it. Angle then cuts a promo about Jeff Jarrett and how he is going to win the war, and that Double J just won the battle!
Sting’s Promo is the same cookie cutter promo that we heard last year after Sting won the TNA world title. Lame, Sting is good, but I don’t want to see him talk, I want to see him wrestle, instead he talks, making this my bathroom break. When I returned from the break, AJ Styles was talking about Respect, lame.
Booker T. defeated Hernandez
I’ll tell you one thing, you know a match is boring when you’re focused on what the wrestlers are wearing instead of the match itself. This match was kind of boring to me, and Booker T seemed lazy in this match up. I hate how all Booker T matches just have him relying on his wife for a distraction and the victory. I know that it is his gimmick to be lazy, but you know what other veteran got lazy in his old age? Hulk Hogan! Do you remember a GOOD Hulk Hogan match from WCW after he turned heel? Maybe one match in my memory was good from the WCW crew, and that was Hogan vs. Sting at Starrcade 97, other than that, I don’t remember anything good from Hogan back then. This is happening with booker T, and this is exhibit one in that case! Trust me. With that said guess who won.
Just for the record, Mick Foley’s stupid promo where he says he is leaving, sucks. What a load of garbage, crap, do we really need a Foley outro? Screw this crap. Then when I was going to throw up my arms, Jeff Jarrett comes out and tells Foley that he’s not done yet, and the two go down the tunnel. Lame again.
Roxxi defeated Raisha Saeed
I personally like Roxxi. I might be alone in that sentiment, but I like a woman who can do hardcore wrestling. I don’t care what anyone says, bring back the old ECW flavor with women, and I’m going to mark out huge! This match was ok, nothing too crazy, Saeed is not half bad. I like her and I like Roxxi. The match featured a lot of stiff shots, and I’m not sure if they were going for that sort of smash mouth wrestling or not, but it looked like Saeed was taking liberties with Roxxi’s hardcore rhetoric. Saeed’s modified surfboard stomp was awesome, and her snap suplex is right on for a woman. Shades of Davy Boy Smith were heard as Roxxi hit the canvas with Saeed taking control of this match up for the beginning. That was short lived as Roxxi got the momentum later on in the match and did a perfect fall away slam! However, she lost her focus momentarily when she tried to mix it up with Awesome Kong, outside the ring. She then came back inside and gave Saeed the Voodoo drop for the win, and Roxxi defeates Raisha Saeed!
Post match, Awesome Kong jumped in and delivered the Implant Buster and Roxxi loses the post match battle as Kong and Saeed celebrate over their fallen foe.
Kevin Nash defeated Consequences Creed
Nash needs to stop letting his hair silver out. He needs his black hair back or his brown hair, because he really looks like an old man in this match up. Consequences Creed gets a few shots in and Nash bumps a little bit, but this match is your basic strong man match up. Nash tries to make things look good, but he’s so stiff, he’s just a giant goof. An old giant goof, and this match proved it. Nash shouldn’t wrestle too much any longer, he’s just not that good anymore, trust me, I know. The Cobra Clutch slam was interesting, and the Powerbomb from Nash is still amazing, have you seen that lately? He just releases and BOOOM, Nash wins this squash match against Consequences Creed. Way to bury your talent TNA, way to go.
Post match, Kevin Nash talks about how none of the young guys respect the veterans. Lame. For the record, I never wondered what it was like to be Kevin Nash. That’s for sure. Nash cusses a lot for a TNA promo, that’s for sure. I personally liked Nash better as The Russian from The Punisher movie. This promo was the SADDEST promo I’ve ever heard from a veteran wrestler. Seriously, the Kevin Nash promo sucked.
Kurt Angle defeated Matt Morgan
This match was giving away too early. I don’t care what you think about Matt Morgan, because I hate him, but he DOES NOT need to get buried by Kurt Angle like this. Morgan basically tears Angle a new one for 90% of this match and then out of nowhere Angle hits a weak Angle slam and wins the match up. Morgan hit Angle with everything and looked good for once, but nope, it was short lived as Angle defeated Matt Morgan clean, burying the big guy’s push and holding him back from getting over. Kurt Angle is worse than Triple H in this match, as Morgan was supposed to be getting the biggest push in TNA and look at this crap. Morgan sucks, but he doesn’t deserve this, and maybe I’m turning my opinion a little but come on, he gets buried clean by Angle? This is so stupid.
Post match, Abyss ran down to save Morgan from getting further beat down by Angle. Angle then attacked Abyss, and the announcers sell this post match finish as something crazy.
They then cut to JB outside of the arena trying to figure out what Double J and Mick Foley were talking about behind closed doors, and Foley announces that next week Live from Vegas there is going to be a huge announcement made. He said that the wrestling world will be shaken forever!
This edition of impact wasn’t horrible, but we’ll have to wait and see if the Live Las Vegas show pays off on the things that were set up here.

This edition of impact wasn’t horrible, but we’ll have to wait and see if the Live Las Vegas show pays off on the things that were set up here.

TNA Impact 10/9/08 Review and Results
Greetings from the sunnyville of California. Los Angeles to be exact, where I'm away from my mom's house. I'm glad she's got cable, otherwise I wouldn't be getting this review up. We open the show with Christian, Booker T and Aj Styles all trying to figure out what side Christian Cage is on. I don't like this angle at all, but then again, why not? Might as well.
Cute Kip defeated Rhino (No Dq Match)
Here we go, a no dq match between the newly gayed up Cute Kip and the War Machine Rhino. I haven't seen Rhino go to war in recent months, so I don't know what to say about all this, but hey, Cute Kip can wrestle if given a chance, so I had high hopes for this one. This match was boring, for a no dq match up. The match was basically rest holds for the most part, but late in the match The Beautiful People sprayed something in Rhino's eyes, then Cute Kip jumped rhino, and put him through a very weak looking table, and won this match easily.
Consequences Creed defeated Petey Willians (Big Petey Pump), Sonjay Dutt w/ So Cal Val, and Black Machismo Jay Lethal
They really wanted to load this match up, and we have a 4 way match up. The early favorite for me seemed to be Jay Lethal as he was getting the most offense in early on. Granted, Sonjay Dutt was focusing on Lethal with all his offense, leaving Consequences Creed and Petey Williams fighting each other inside the ring. We got a lot of spots, low drop kicks, big drop kicks, springboard clotheslines, neck breakers, and quick covers for two counts. No one seemed to get the clear cut advantage in the middle of the match up and it just seemed disorienting to try and keep up with all the wrestlers involved in this match up. In the midst of random finishing move attempts, Consequences Creed cleaned up house and got the pin, and things went down well. However, the camera's cut to Sheik Abdul Bashir in the background and made some stupid promo. Consequences Creed will go and wrestle Sheik Abdul Bashir at the next ppv. I liked Consequences Creed when he first came to TNA but now, he just doesn't seem the same. He should most likely lose at the ppv, making a gimmick match for a second shot at the TNA title, only to win it, and then feud with Sheik Bashir in a "USA" vs "Foreigner" feud, as they did in the late 70's and 80's and even a little in the early 90's with Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter. (I'm talking about Wrestlemania 7)
Why can't TNA fire Karen's Angle! I hate this, and I don't know anyone that likes this segment! Seriously, what a horrible piece of crap segment. Foley is on the show, and it's just stupid, I hate this segment.
The Blue Print Matt Morgan & The Abyss defeated Beer Money
Beer Money isolated Matt Morgan's knee after his initial onslaught of offense. He did look really good, dropping Beer Money with power moves easily, but he ended up getting worked over with a bum knee. Abyss got a hot tag and started cleaning house! Beer Money tried to make things go their way, but even with an injured Matt Morgan, Beer Money lossed this one when Abyss gave them the black hole slam and BOOM, we have ourselves some winners. This match wasn't all that bad, but it wasn't that great. It was somewhat boring at times, and while it was fast, it didn't really do it for me. Maybe it was because I was tired.
Raisha Saeed & Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi & Taylor Wilde
Smart knockouts match up, and a major step up from what I saw in WWE's diva's division. As much as WWE can improve on their diva's matches, they just don't measure up to these Knockout division matches. This one was great, Roxxi and Taylor WIlde were really working well as a team, and Roxxi was really putting a lot into this match up, I was really impressed with how much offense she got in on Kong and Saeed. Kong eventually gets thrown over the top rope, and Saeed gets double teamed, but in the middle of the match Taylor Wilde accidentally kicks Roxxi in the face! This caused some confusion, and while Roxxi looked like she was going to win this one after a missed monsault from Saeed, Kong jumped in and delivered the Implant Buster on Roxxi to win this tag match up! We immediately go to commercial, so that was that.
Christian Cage Special Guest Referee came out for the next match up!
A.J Styles defeated Booker T.
In what was easily an Impact classic, Booker T lost to A.J. styles and while we were suppose to see what side Christian was on, we actually never get to. Instead we get him added to the ppv match up, and now we won't ever know, unless a threeway featuring all three wrestlers is going to prove something. This match was good, lots of good high spots from styles, and booker t looked as fresh as ever. I liked this match up, but hated the commentary.
The end of impact bored me, with Samoa Joe and Sting brawling. I hate contract signings, they never turn out well.

TNA Results 9/4/08 and Review: Sting vs. Fans
The opening of the show had Kurt Angle and Booker T in the ring mouthing off about how no one respects them for paving the way, similar to the Sting interview from last week. They of course, get interrupted by none other than Christian Cage and he too starts mouthing off, and like any good opener, they all brawl outside and inside the ring. Aj Styles runs out for the save, only to get Jim Cornette outside to make sure that Booker and Kurt are Banned from ringside during the four ways to glory qualifying match!
I hate Mike Tenay. He used to be “the professor” of wcw and had a lot of insight into the Lucha Libre that was permeating in the show, but here he just repeats the obvious, and basically reads a script. I don’t care if the announcers have scripts, but I am annoyed when the announcers are telling me the future of what a wrestler is going to say, or how things are going to play out. There is NO suspsense in TNA, because Tenay spoils any sort of surprise.
Samoa Joe Interview:
This thing sucks. Joe doesn’t need to look like a whiny champion, he just needs to drop people to the floor and prove that he’s not just a fat champion. He doesn’t need to pick fights with Sting or Kevin Nash, he needs to keep his mouth shut and just beat down anyone that comes out.
Rough Cut Consequences Creed:
Another inside look into Consequences Creed, and you know what? I don’t care. I don’t care about his background just yet. They need to wait for him to be a bigger superstar, then release this as a dvd or something. I don’t need to hear about a new guy, I want to hear from a bigger superstar, and if these are true shoots, they could make some money. This was lame. I’ll just leave it at that.
Sheik Bashir Interview:
This is stupid. I’m not sure that I believe anything this guy says just yet either. He’s too young of a star in TNA. I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about his career in TNA, which has what? Two matches or so? They don’t need an interview segment with this guy just yet, he needs more matches and then we can rally against him, instead of just having him be a scapegoat for American patriotism in wrestling. Sheik talks about how America stole things from him and how he hates America, the same gimmick that other Middle Eastern wrestlers had.
Consequences Creed defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Sheik had full control of this match early on, and there was a lot of offense for such a shortly advertised match up. This is of course a response to the x-division title shot that Creed was gunning for, but Sheik interfered, causing this match up to be set up. This match took a turn for Creed as he started to go on a roll with his usual move set and it looked as though Consequences Creed was en route to win, but out of nowhere Sheik rolls up Creed, and uses the ropes to get the win!
However, the fans were booing the crap out of Sheik, and the Ref overturns the results, and restarts the match!
The match then just was another quick reversal, a sunset flip roll up and while Sheik firmly had his hands on the rope, the ref kicked his hands out and Sheik loses this match to Creed and the chance to go after the X-Division title at the next ppv.
Post match, Sheik slaps the Referee, but he starts to fight back, and goes crazy on Sheik. This ref is super good too, and makes Sheik look like an idiot, because he gets no offense in, and the crowd goes crazy.
Kevin Nash interview:
Nash offers nothing new. He says he wants to talk to Joe. Nash is way past his prime, even on the mic, he’s way past his prime.
The Prince Justice Brotherhood promo:
The superheroes are backstage with Beer Money and it’s hilarious. Curry Man is just awesome, they have a major superstar there, and I’m not sure why he’s not getting more of a push. However, the two factions start fighting and security just so happens to be right there for the save. Things get ugly, and we cut to commercial.
Beautiful People Promo:
The Beautiful People are backstage making stupid statements, and say they are going to have a beauty contest at the next ppv. I still think that the Beautiful People resemble porno actresses instead of wrestlers, but that’s just me.
Beer Money defeated Shark Boy & Super Eric
Curry Man was suppose to be in this match, however, he didn’t show up. The camera crew find him in the back getting cornered by Christy Hemme, and Shark Boy takes his place in this match. Beer Money starts off this match strong, and I’m glad that TNA is pushing these guys well. I’m glad to see that the tna tag team champions aren’t just jobbing to random people, these guys are a great team and they are really proving that tag team divisions can be reliable sources for great wrestling. This match was basically a squash match, but Beer Money looked great, and like a true tag team, true champions!
It’s also worth noting that in the middle of the match, the camera crew checked up on Curry man and he was getting stomped out by The Rock & Roll Infection.
Post match, Hernandez comes through and Beer Money flee to the outside. However, Homicide shows up and starts to rail against Beer Money, and he cleans house!
Abyss defeated Johnny Devine
This was cool, Abyss comes out swinging and it was an awesome match. Abyss basically annihilates Devine, and while I usually hate squash matches, this was entertaining to me. I assume this is how Kane would be if he stepped up his game. Abyss basically kills Devine with some heavy moves, seriously heavy.
The match didn’t end as far as I could see, because Team 3-D came down and interfered with the match up. Then Matt Morgan ran down to save Abyss, and cleared things up.
I was hoping for more insight into this, but instead we get to see ODB trying to take a dump? Yeah, she runs to the bathroom and takes a dump. I wish I was kidding.
ODB defeated Raisha Saeed
ODB puts on a good show against Raisha, and I was impressed that once again, TNA’s women’s division just makes for a great match up. This is the best part of TNA Impact, because the majority of the show is not that great. These women really put it all on the line in the ring and are NOT divas at all, TNA’s women division is the best part of being a professional wrestling fan.
ODB edges out Saeed and wins this grudge match.
Post match, ODB tries to demask Raisha and has no major luck until they are off camera. Awesome Kong comes flying out of the backstage area and beats down ODB, delivering the implant buster on her. Roxie comes out for the save but is eventually beaten down, and Roxie gets dropped by Kong with the Awesome Bomb onto a chair, and security runs through to help. The Tna women’s division is the greatest thing to happen to Tna ever.
AJ Styles Interview:
Aj Styles runs his mouth and calls out Sting, then calls out Christian. I must admit, this was the most whiny interview I’ve seen in my years of wrestling viewing. Aj Styles says that Sting has done nothing to deserve respect and that he’s always on the road away from his kids.
Uh….you mean wrestling in Florida means he’s away from his family? Wouldn’t he just buy a house in Florida? I mean, 80% of TNA shows are in FLORIDA! Aj is an idiot, I don’t buy this promo, and really don’t care for Aj’s whining. Shut up, go out there and beat down Christian, and let Sting be…he’s an idiot too.
Christian Cage defeated Aj Styles
This was a good back an forth match up. I didn’t know who to root for, as both men were putting on a clinic of pure wrestling ethos. Neither man was getting the clear cut edge, and both were great in ring. Christian has really improved since he left WWE a while ago, and Aj still has some amazing aerial maneuvers. This match was ppv quality, and if you missed it, go and see it. The best spot is definitely the reversal of the superplex into Christian’s frog splash. It took a split second, but if you caught it, you had to be impressed with how Christian executed that move. Aj definitely looked like the winner towards the end, but right when things were going to go in his favor, the referee gets knocked out. Frank Trigg runs out with a kendo stick and knocks out AJ Styles, causing Christian Cage to win this match and qualify for the main event at the ppv, and now he gets another shot at the TNA championship belt.
Sting Promo:
Sting comes out and cuts a face promo? Joe comes out and confronts Sting, and then Kevin Nash comes out too. I’m not sure where TNA was going with this, but I had my ideas, and they weren’t entertaining. Sting hit Joe with the bat and then hits the Stinger death drop on Joe! Jeff Jarrett’s music hits, only to get cut off by Sting, and the show ends horribly.
TNA Impact Results 9/4/08
Consequences Creed defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Beer Money defeated Shark Boy & Super Eric
Abyss defeated Johnny Devine
ODB defeated Raisha Saeed
Christian Cage defeated Aj Styles
Impact wasn’t half bad. I do still think that Impact could be better without all the promo’s and random interviews. However, there are some great matches on this show. There were at least three good quality matches, and then there was a lot of stupid things. The TNA Knock outs are awesome! Overall, not a bad show.

TNA Impact Review 7/17/08 Why Sting Why
I’m not a big fan of the titles before the show, but whatever, I pretend I didn’t see them. Impact promises a lot of good action, but promises from TNA are not worth a whole lot.
Backstage Segment 1:
Booker T arrives with the world title belt on his shoulders.
In Ring Segment 1:
Booker T comes out to the ring and talks about how awesome he is and how great it is to finally be the champion. Right before he talks about the whole PPV ending, Jim Cornette comes out and declares Samoa Joe the world tna champion. Cornette then orders Booker T to hand over the belt.
Samoa Joe comes out dressed in a suit. He looks good, nice job TNA, too bad I didn’t expect him to come out like that. Maybe this is just a move to hide that people believe he’s too fat to be a main eventer. I have no problem with it though.
Joe talks about how he beat the crap out of Booker T in his home town, and how he’s going to do it again. However, he is going to allow Booker to hold onto the belt, citing that he’s no chump. Samoa Joe says that Booker T can’t win, and that he’s going to beat down sting too!
Backstage Segment 2:
Beer Money is back stage. Robert Roode talks about how it’s not funny that they lost, and that they are going to have revenge on LAX, and the rest of the park; considering that TNA is filmed at Universal Studios Florida.
Backstage Segment 3:
JB interviews Kaz and he talks about how he didn’t let anyone in TNA down. He thinks that tonight things are going to change.
Petey Williams (C) defeated Kaz
The X-Division is usually really good. They are top notch cruiserweights, but this match was way too short. It was basically a squash; It was about 1/3 of the length of a good match. Kaz looks to have the upper hand, but loses with a roll up and a hook of the tights. What a waste, these guys could really go, but TNA didn’t let the match develop into anything more than a glorified squash.
What annoyed me most, was not so much that they just threw a squash match in there for the TNA X-Division title, it was the fact that right after the match Kaz looked really pissed but instead of following up on that, they cut to the back and had a interview lined up. Wasting what could have developed into something interesting for the fans and the character. Oh well…TNA doesn’t know what they have on their hands, that’s for sure.
Backstage Segment 4:
JB waits for Petey Williams, and some random idiot comes in and tells JB that he has some top secret stuff for later. Lame.
Backstage Segment 5:
Samoa Joe is backstage with JB, and in comes Nash. Kevin Nash tells Samoa Joe that he’s the greatest in the game. Samoa admits that he might not be able to beat Booker T and looks weak. Nash tries to cheer him up a little, but Joe isn’t buying it. Nash says that if someone doesn’t believe in themselves, they have nothing left.
Backstage Segment 6:
Beer Money is back in the production booth whipping everyone, including the crew and the camera man.
Backstage Segment 7:
The announcers are saying that Sting has arrived. But it’s not Sting. It’s Kurt Angle and Team 3-D coming out of a limo.
Meanwhile, backstage Curry Man and others are in a meeting. Super Eric, Curry Man and Shark Boy argue some more, and Beer Money comes out and starts whipping them to pieces!
In Ring Segment 2:
Christy Hemme is out and the Rock & Rave connection is going to be in full effect. *Editors note: Christy Hemme might have a huge forehead, but she’s still a firecracker, and still somewhat attractive. I like her. Remember the Playboy cover and photo shoot? The WWE Playboy curse lives!
The Blueprint: Matt Morgan defeated. Jimmy Rave
Matt Morgan sucks. However, he beats the crap out of Jimmy Rave in a few moves. Nothing worth mentioning more than that; Jimmy Rave had no chance.
Then out comes Lance Rock.
The Blueprint: Matt Morgan defeated. Lance Rock
Lance Rock gets killed in another squash match. Lance Rock tried to get some offense in, but Morgan basically had full range to do whatever he wanted. This is definitely a long step away from his old gimmick, that’s for sure.
Backstage Segment 8:
The TNA Knockouts start arguing back stage about some random B.S. Jim Cornette can’t get anyone to shut up. JB comes in to try and help, and Cornette talks about how everyone wants a shot at Taylor for the knockouts belt. He announces a ten girl gauntlet match, and the winner will get a title shot at Taylor next week at impact. Some random girl offers special services to Cornette….and go to commercial.
Backstage Segment 9:
Beer Money is in the park and is beating down security. They start whipping the crap out of the security guards at the gate. Fans start booing, and then they threaten to whip the fans outside.
Seriously, someone beat down Don West again. Mike Tenay also, he’s fallen far away from his “professor” status that he u sed to have.
In Ring Segment 3:
Team 3-D and Kurt Angle come down to the ring, and he claims he talked to Sting. He knows why he hit Kurt Angle with a baseball bat, and Angle gets interrupted…
Aj Styles, Christian Cage, Rhino comes out and Styles says that Sting has his reasons and that he’s out there to talk to them about something important.
Team 3-D talks about how they want a six man table match.
Christian Cage takes the mic and says that his glass table bump was the worst pain he’s ever felt in his life. (Man he is lying dude) He says that he doesn’t take orders, and starts making fun of how fat Bubba Ray Is. He says that the match is not going to take place on PPV and that the match is going to take place on Impact and that it’s going to be a six man table elimination match.
#1 Contender’s Match: The Knockout Gauntlet
The women put on a great show in this match up, and I was really enjoying the pile up of women. I was confused about the rules of the match, but in the end, some hot blonde one. Velvet Sky is her name, and she is not half bad. She was taking bumps, alongside the rest of the women. I’m surprised Awesome Kong wasn’t involved somehow, but this was a good match with a lot of spots.
Once again, I’ll say that WWE DIVAS suck in comparison to what these women are doing in TNA.
Backstage Segment 10:
Booker T talks about how he is going to give an unlikely opponent a chance. He will wrestle Consequences Creed for the world TNA championship. The match tonight will be a stretcher match and Booker T (In his King tone) calls 911 and asks for an ambulance. He will be like Rocky, where Apollo Creed gave Rocky a title shot.
Backstage Segment 11:
Jay Lethal talks about how Sonjay Dutt was part of the family. So Cal Val says he’s being too hard on him and walks away.
Sonjay Dutt defeated Johnny Devine and Eric Young
This match was too fast, and was just a squash. I really didn't like this one and felt that it was just rushed and was wasted. It could have been a worthwhile match up on TNA but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Jay Lethal comes out to beat down Sonjay Dutt, and inadvertently hits him with a chair, causing So Cal Val to leave him once again. Is Val hooking up with Sonjay?
Backstage Segment 12:
Beer Money is walking, and says they could get fired for all they care.
In Ring Segment 4:
Beer Money comes out, and starts whipping a fan out of the audience. Then they turn their attentions to Hector Guerrero. They handcuff him to the ring post and then go to town on him. LAX comes out and saves him.
Backstage Segment 13:
Kurt Angle and his crew are sitting in their locker room and start talking trash about next week’s match up with Christian Cage and his crew of goons. They then say that Sting will be there and in their corner for the match.
Backstage Segment 14:
Consequences Creed is dancing and raving, cutting the promo of his life! He’s dressed up as Apollo Creed and says he’s going to make history tonight on Impact!
Booker T defeated Consequences Creed (stretcher match)
I admit, I marked out huge for this match, and I knew that there was no chance Creed was going to win, but I marked out huge. Creed impressed me a few weeks back when he wrestled AJ Styles, and I had confidence that he could hang in there with Booker T. Booker hasn’t been really good since I saw him in WCW against the likes of Chris Benoit and others with the television title that he was defending like a real champ. Creed got in little offense, and Booker let him do some impressive spots, even though he isn’t a main eventer. Don west really tore the chances of Creed winning up by saying that no matter what you are, you aren’t Booker T and won’t win. The Ax kick was impressive, I loved that, and it was all downhill from that point. The end came with Booker T just beating the crap out of creed and rolling him out to an ambulance waiting outside. A really lackluster ending to what could have been a really great match.
Samoa Joe comes out and beats the crap out of him, then throws Booker into the back of the ambulance, and then the ambulance leaves, leaving Samoa Joe and Sharmell alone!

The Blueprint Matt Morgan defeated Lance Rock

Sonjay Dutt defeated Eric Young and Johnny Devine in a 3 Way Dance
Booker T. defeated Consequences Creed in a stretcher match
What turned out to be a cool show, really was light on the wrestling. I've denoted the amount of backstage segments via numbers, and will continue to do so for WWE as well. There wasn't a lot of wrestling on this show, but they were really trying to build up the story lines. I would have preferred longer matches though.
I do recall WCW Thunder having a LOT of matches in a 2 hour program, and I remember Nitro had a TON of wrestling for 2 and 3 hours. Sure they built story lines, but they didn't have Segment followed by Segment, they would mix it up better. I wonder what TNA is thinking?
I do think that they are having logic problems on this show. Christian Cage says that the worst pain ever was going through the glass table...that wasn't even real! I know...wrestling is fake, but this glass spot was even more fake.
Here's a clip of that for you guys:
FAIL.
This show was actually really good, and I liked it for the most part. I know that a lot of people do not appreciate TNA lately, and the podcast crews are dogging it, but this show was a nice alternative at times to WWE. Sure, it's not the greatest show in the world, but it wasn't complete garbage. I suggest everyone check out TNA if not for the countless backstage segments, then for the Knockout Division, I'm simply floored by what TNA is doing with them.
So far this week, TNA IMPACT is the best wrestling show so far. Will Smackdown top it? I'll have to wait and see. CMLL might be good on Sunday though...we'll see if Seattle, Wa. can give me some Galavision...I'm looking for it.
Backstage Segment 1:
Booker T arrives with the world title belt on his shoulders.
In Ring Segment 1:
Booker T comes out to the ring and talks about how awesome he is and how great it is to finally be the champion. Right before he talks about the whole PPV ending, Jim Cornette comes out and declares Samoa Joe the world tna champion. Cornette then orders Booker T to hand over the belt.
Samoa Joe comes out dressed in a suit. He looks good, nice job TNA, too bad I didn’t expect him to come out like that. Maybe this is just a move to hide that people believe he’s too fat to be a main eventer. I have no problem with it though.
Joe talks about how he beat the crap out of Booker T in his home town, and how he’s going to do it again. However, he is going to allow Booker to hold onto the belt, citing that he’s no chump. Samoa Joe says that Booker T can’t win, and that he’s going to beat down sting too!
Backstage Segment 2:
Beer Money is back stage. Robert Roode talks about how it’s not funny that they lost, and that they are going to have revenge on LAX, and the rest of the park; considering that TNA is filmed at Universal Studios Florida.
Backstage Segment 3:
JB interviews Kaz and he talks about how he didn’t let anyone in TNA down. He thinks that tonight things are going to change.
Petey Williams (C) defeated Kaz
The X-Division is usually really good. They are top notch cruiserweights, but this match was way too short. It was basically a squash; It was about 1/3 of the length of a good match. Kaz looks to have the upper hand, but loses with a roll up and a hook of the tights. What a waste, these guys could really go, but TNA didn’t let the match develop into anything more than a glorified squash.
What annoyed me most, was not so much that they just threw a squash match in there for the TNA X-Division title, it was the fact that right after the match Kaz looked really pissed but instead of following up on that, they cut to the back and had a interview lined up. Wasting what could have developed into something interesting for the fans and the character. Oh well…TNA doesn’t know what they have on their hands, that’s for sure.
Backstage Segment 4:
JB waits for Petey Williams, and some random idiot comes in and tells JB that he has some top secret stuff for later. Lame.
Backstage Segment 5:
Samoa Joe is backstage with JB, and in comes Nash. Kevin Nash tells Samoa Joe that he’s the greatest in the game. Samoa admits that he might not be able to beat Booker T and looks weak. Nash tries to cheer him up a little, but Joe isn’t buying it. Nash says that if someone doesn’t believe in themselves, they have nothing left.
Backstage Segment 6:
Beer Money is back in the production booth whipping everyone, including the crew and the camera man.
Backstage Segment 7:
The announcers are saying that Sting has arrived. But it’s not Sting. It’s Kurt Angle and Team 3-D coming out of a limo.
Meanwhile, backstage Curry Man and others are in a meeting. Super Eric, Curry Man and Shark Boy argue some more, and Beer Money comes out and starts whipping them to pieces!
