TNA Impact 8/26/10 Review
The show started with a recap of Fortune. I liked how they edit it all together, because it makes it far more important than it really is. They actually make it seem interesting, dare I say, worthwhile to watch?
Then things go to crap.
Dixie Carter is going to the ring!
Dixie in ring said that TNA has never been so successful...which is odd, because their ratings are at 1.0 which is what they were doing several years ago. She called out Ric Flair.
Ric Flair was ready to punch Dixie but out came Dixie's Real Life Husband? Yeah, apparently Dixie's Husband came out and Flair was going to whip him with his belt like they did with David Flair, but HOgan and his men came out...what a terrible segment.
Hogan came out and basically challenged FLair's guys with a group of psuedo Heels....and that was that..Fortune fought HOgan's idiots.
Samoa Joe defeated Orlando Jordan
Samoa JOe is back, and he's still fat. Joe sucks. Orlando Jordan went from being a major player in TNA, freaking out his opponents to getting squashed (no pun intended) by Samoa Joe. This match was stupid, and I'm tired of Orlando Jordan's character. This sucked. You didn't like it, you didn't care. FIRE JOE. Let him go serve tables at Applebees with Justin Credible.
Kevin Nash defeated Double J
Kevin Nash and Jarrett? Ugh...TNA basically screwed me over here. Both of these guys are far beyond their prime. I don't want to see either one of these guys wrestle. If you've seen 1 Kevin Nash match in TNA you've seen them all, and this was no different. A ref bump helped Sting interfere in this match and Nash wins. This match was worst than anything in WCW, there, I said it. STING SUCKS now, NASH IS OLD, JARRETT SUCKS TOO, this match was the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time in TNA or the old WCW.
Sting was beating up Jarrett when Hogan came in from behind and hit Sting with a chair. Yep....A Sting vs. Hogan feud? I'm sick of this stupid booking! How is this HELPING THE YOUNGER GUYS???
Beer Money defeated The FBI
I liked this match. I was surprised to see the FBI tonight against Beer Money. Despite the dominant BEER MONEY team, this match was further proof that if done right, the tag team division can be worthwhile. I liked the match, and thought that the FBI still had some fight in them. I think that with more teams, TNA has a winning combination, if they don't screw it up somehow.
Angelina Love and Velvet Sky were talking in ring? Ugh...they are going to be friends now? This is stupid...I hate this.....
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Young BUcks
Once again, the TNA tag division shows us that anything is possible. I thought this was the best tag team match I've seen in a long time. Seriously, this is the best tag team wrestling, even if it is all high spots. Sure, there's a lot of spots, and a lot of it has no in ring psychology, but still, it was fun to watch. If they can combine some psychology with all the spots, the TNA tag division might save the company. That's my two cents. Spot after spot, this match thrilled the fans, and after the smoked settled from so many high risk moves, the Motor City Machine Gun won this match.
Abyss fought EV2 backstage and into the arena. Abyss sucks.
Kurt Angle, The Pope, Jeff Hardy, and Anderson defeated Kaz, Aj Styles, Matt Morgan, and Douglas Williams
Jeff Hardy is getting fat. Angle is being hot shotted to the World Title. Anderson is stale. And fortune? Lame. This match was ok, I don't mind 8 man tags every now and again, unlike WWE which throws one at you at ever show, so it seems. This match showcased more tag team supremacy with Fortune working like a well oiled machine compared to the good guys, which struggled to get hot tags and maintain good action in this match up. This match ended with a lot of finishing moves, and bodies everywhere. Pope got a blind tag after an Angle Slam and pinned Kaz for the win.
The thing that was funny was that Angle was mad at the Pope. Why would he be mad? They were trying to win as a team, against Fortune, why would he be mad? They won? Is his EGO that big? Is he trying to be heel? This makes absolutely no sense.
Post match the rest of Fortune ran down and beat up the good guys. This was stupid. Is this WCW NITRO? Again? EV2 came running down too. This was a huge melee ending, and it was exactly why WCW started to fail. Sabu hit the worst spot I've seen in a long time, and threw Williams through a table, or rather jumped on him. The show ended with all the guys brawling....I hate TNA.
NOT a complete loss, but definitely a weak showing from the #2 pro-wrestling company, and it's even more unfortunate that the #2 company sucks so bad compared to WWE. Not to say that WWE is so good, because they have their problems too.
On a final note.
Condolences go out to the family of Luna Vachon. She passed away this week. Another wrestling death...she wasn't even 50 years old. sadly, her house and all her possessions burned down, and she was found dead at her mother's house. Sadly, all my childhood memories are dying....Luna, from what I hear was a friendly face and great person to talk to outside of the ring, and was NOT like her character. mad Dog must be sad too.

TNA Impact 4/26/10 Results
Ric Flair defeated Abyss
Abyss defeated Ric Flair
Matt Morgan & Jesse Neal vs Team 3D no contest
Sting & Aj Styles defeated Jeff Hardy & Double J in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Madison Rayne defeated Angelina Love and Tara in a Knockouts Title Triple Threat Match
Kazarian defeated Shannon Moore
TNA Impact 4/26/10 Review
The TNA finally does something good, a recap of RVD’s journey to the TNA World Championship from last week with some good overall music. I liked it, but I’m not so sure about the rest of the show.
Hogan started the show in ring and gave some speech, and it wasn’t half bad, and he introduced MR. TNA Rob Van Dam and the crowd was going nuts…which is a nice change of pace.
Madison Rayne defeated Angelina Love and Tara in a Knockouts Title Triple Threat Match
This match was scary. There were some poorly taken bumps, and it just looked painful to me. Despite the women getting a little bit of time, the match just seemed forced, and not even Tara could carry the weight. This match ended with a roll up, and it wasn’t even that good.
Post match, Tara fought off Angelina Love, and security ran out to separate the two. I like how these two girls now have a separate feud, away from the title, and it can make for an interesting turn for the knockouts division. I am loving this post match feud. Good job TNA!
Kazarian defeated Shannon Moore
This match was relatively short, and wasn’t all that great. Moore has this thing locked up, but Matt Morgan ran down and interfered after a ref bump, and the match was over with Kazarian getting the win. This match was way too short, and lame.
Post match Samoa Joe came down to ringside, and he has a “heel” beard. Samoa Joe came out and hit a Muscle Buster on Kaz. Looks like we’re getting back to the old school joe where he had 4 star matches for the title.
Sting & Aj Styles defeated Jeff Hardy & Double J in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
This falls count anywhere tag match was interesting to note, but it was hard to watch. The two teams were going at each other quite well, and it just seemed like they hot shotted these match with no clear psychology…but I guess I can find common ground if I try really hard.
The match itself wasn’t all that good, it featured the normal punch type thing, but what seemed weird to me was that Sting and Hardy were yielding to “tag team” rules, which is stupid! Why would you tag in a falls count anywhere match?
During this match Sting left the ring and disappeared, but Double J found him and they battled to the rafters.
Hardy and Styles fought each other outside the ring. Jeff went to the top of the ramp and then pulled out a ladder, and went to the top for a Swanton Bomb on Styles, but Sting pinned Jeff Jarrett in the rafters, ending the match, without any jump from Hardy.
This match was stupid. Stupid rules, Stupid crap!
The Pope came out and started talking about how he hasn’t forgotten Aj Styles. However, he was interrupted by Anderson, and it looks like Pope has his new opponent in Pope. The two started to fight it out, and it should be interesting.
Anderson put his thumb in the eye of Pope and security had to break things up.
Matt Morgan & Jesse Neal vs Team 3D no contest
This match wasn’t given much time, and it was quite boring to watch. The match got about 2 minutes of the way through before it was interrupted by The Band. Team 3D fought The band on the ramp, and Matt Morgan beat up Jesse Neal in ring.
Shannon Moore saved Jesse Neal from getting further beat up and the two formed a tag team, since they both have Mohawks? What the heck!
Bischoff talks about the ranking system. You can vote for your favorite on TNA Wrestling online.
Orlando Jordan cut a weird promo, and he said that next week on the “O-Zone” will be Rob Terry, the “Freak”.
Ric Flair defeated Abyss
Then
Abyss defeated Ric Flair
Flair immediately busts himself open, and Abyss basically rolled through the old timer. This match was just sad, and Flair is way past his prime, way past. This is beyond sad, as the blood poured down Flair’s face. The match, despite having Flair busted open, was won by Flair after he brought in some Brass Knuckles.
However, the match was restarted after Earl Hebner found out that Flair used Brass Knuckles.
The match restarted and Abyss won, end of impact…man what a terrible show.
Who cares about the hall of fame rings? who cares? TNA Did an ok show last week only to return with one heck of a gamble against a stacked 3 hour raw show.

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 Destination X 2009 Results and Review Sting Retains
What’s this? A ppv review from your pal sir j? Yeah, once again I’ve managed to scrape up a few dimes together to watch this piece of crap we call tna ppv. I am barely scraping by, so I had to save a few bucks to get this, so I hope that you, the reader, can appreciate my tone and my review here, as I’m doing it for the love of the game, not for money. I wish I had more of both, that’s for sure.
The show opened up in black and white with clips from the public domain of recession. It also showed some previous things that went down on TNA Impact the last few weeks. Overall not a great intro, and I could do without hearing Hoobastank every five seconds. Seriously, why did Hoobastank get picked? They suck, this intro sucks, and boy am not looking forward to more tna ppv’s…unless they change their booking completely.
Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, and The Governor defeated The Beautiful People & Madison Rayne
The Governor started this match, even though no one cares about Sarah Palin any longer. Oh well, here we go, the start of this match up, nothing too insane here, just your average start. The Governor is out there barefoot, and it’s interesting to see, I don’t think there are a lot of wrestlers out there without their boots. The match then moved forward from that point with the good guys (I should say gals) in full control. I also must note that Don West is out there with Mike Tenay, though he still sucks if you ask me; and I know you didn’t. The match was fast paced, a lot of distracting the ref here and there, which is interesting for sure. The match went into a melee, and things got crazy outside, leaving Taylor Wilde inside to get the pinfall after a bridge suplex. This match was ok at best, it seemed rushed at the end, and before things could settle, we went to the backstage area. TNA did a terrible job with the knockout match up, it was lame; oh well.
*note The Brutus Magnus graphic was premature, so if you were quick, you caught it.
**note again, out came a Navy Officer to be the guest ring announcer.
Brutus Magnus defeated Eric Young
Eric Young will face off against Brutus, and why not? The kid is on a minor roll, with that big win on Thursday against some fat dude that the Main Event Mafia found. Brutus Magnus didn’t catch Eric Young off of a moonsault from the corner, and the crowd made the two wrestlers eat it, and it showed that Magnus is not quite ready for the ppv world. He’s not that good, face it, I’m not sure why they are trying to make this star, as I don’t really like him, and while there are some moments of glory, he’s just not there yet, at least in my opinion. Magnus was not half bad with that top rope finisher, which was insane, if you saw it. It was a fireman’s carry to jump off the top rope, almost like death valley driver in a way. Good overall ending, but a terrible match up if you ask me. Once again it seemed rushed.
Sheik Abdul Bashir came out and just randomly yelled about how TNA is racist for not hiring him to wrestle. Jim Cornette came out to yell at Bashir to tell him that no one likes him, and that’s why he’s not on the ppv. He then had that Naval Officer come into the ring (Cornette called him up). The naval dude starts to sing “God Bless America”. Bashir has no choice but to leave, seemingly disgusted. This is a dumb angle, and I’m not sure why the TNA writers keep trying to push this, they don’t need it.
Matt Morgan defeated Abyss in a 10,000 Tacks Match
This match started out fast, with both men throwing haymakers, and pushing forth a great amount of effort. Of course, this thing had to slow down, because it wasn’t going to be a progressive match with the amount of brutality that these two started out with. Matt Morgan and Abyss fought to the ramp entrance, with Morgan hitting the Carbon Footprint right into the tacks. It was a wicked fall, and that was the end of the match up.
ODB had some stupid getting a date contest, it was dumb. Some dude named Deter or something, it was stupid, this is the dumbest thing I’ve seen on tna in a long time.
Awesome Kong defeated Sojourner Bolt in a TNA Knockouts Title Match
This match had a good opening, with Bolt sending every offensive move she had early on, but it was Kong who pushed her weight around and began to dominate with heavy moves that gave her a lot of breathing room and like a bigger wrestler, she just methodically worked over Bolt, causing a lot of strain. Things took a slight turn when Kong missed a huge splash off the top rope, causing Bolt to get a second chance in this match up. She went for quick pins, and tight rolls ups, but couldn’t score the three count. Bolt got caught trying a Hurricanrana which proved to be the end of her match up with Awesome Kong dropping her on the back of her neck and winning the match; another successful defense.
Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner ended in a no contest
Samoa Joe came in and just started a fist fight with Scott Steiner. Nothing else, just a straight fist fight, as he ran in and started off fighting, busting open Scott Steiner immediately. This match was the same match we saw with Edge and Matt Hardy when Hardy came back from being fired. Steiner got busted open, Joe beat up the ref, the match was thrown out, I guess Scott Steiner kind of wins via dq, right? I don’t know.
Aj Styles defeated Booker T in a Legends Championship Match
This match started off a little slower than the previous matches, and rightfully so. Booker To isolated Aj’s Arm for a good part of this match up, creating a little space between him and the high flyer. Aj did mnage to get a few high spots in, but Booker was definitely putting the rest holds on this thing and offering a more technically sound match up. The two guys looked evenly matched at the midway of this match, but Booker seemed to be one step ahead of Aj Styles, seriously pushing the limits of the former heavyweight champion. Aj Styles was wobbly at this point, creating doubt in many people’s minds as to whether or not he can really beat the big man. Booker and Aj had perfect timing with some high spot reversals, at one point Booker caught Aj coming off the top rope, and it was just perfect timing. The Styles Clash got the better of Booker T and things finally got good for Aj Styles as he is the new Legends Champion!
Backstage, apparently Samoa Joe murdered Scott Steiner? He had that stupid looking knife of his full of blood. Nice huh? Great job TNA writers, allude to the fact that Joe stabbed Steiner, great writing, great stupid writing! I hate Tna sometimes.
Team 3-D defeated Beer Money via count out in a TNA Tag Team Championship match
Team 3-D was the odds on favorite here, as there was no way that TNA would fire one of their veteran tag teams, leaving them without 2 solid workers. It’s not like the WWE would want another run of Team 3-d, considering that both guys are not as slim and beefed up as they were in WWE. Beer Money were not doing well early on in this match, Devon had things going quite well in the onset of this match up. Team 3-D had a lo of good moments in this match up, and Beer Money were definitely getting out wrestled on more than one occasion in this match up. The comedy spots were a bit too much, which was really weird. The match was thrown out, when Beer Money brought a chair in and Team 3-D wins, via disqualification…
Then the match got restarted and Beer Money walked away with a ten count. This match sucked, well the ending sucked. Don West helped a little, and even after Jim Cornette tried to chase down Beer Money, Team 3-D came to Don West and told him to watch his back! Team 3-D got screwed, and this was boring at the end.
Suicide defeated Consequences Creed, Jay Lethal, and The Motor City Machine Guns in a destination x match for the x division championship
This match opened up like it should have, straight forward, fast paced action. The Motor City Machine Guns had the advantage going into this match up, especially since their always in the ring together as a team. It seemed like they were set to win this, considering this match started at 7 pm pst. Obviously there were some high spots, the spots ranged from going outside of the ring to simple top rope action. Suicide was not doing all that well, at least not early on, it seemed that anything he wanted to do was thwarted by someone in the ring. The match up quickly spilled to the outside and Suicide managed a rolling thunder move onto four of his competitors, making for a good overall replay high spot. By the time it was time to do the super electric chair/powerbomb spot, I got tired of this match. Seriously, these matches are just spot fests and there’s very little psychology to them. I know we’re dealing with a match that was supposed to magnify the x-division, but this is getting ridiculous. I guess I’m starting to dislike spot fests, it just seems so obvious to me, a little too obvious. After all the whining I did about this match, it did have a cool ending. Suicide jumped off the top of a pillar onto the middle of the destination x set up, and knocked all competitors off, to win the x-division championship!
Sting defeated Kurt Angle in a World Heavyweight Championship Match
Finally, the main event, and this one started with neither man truly getting the edge. Kurt Angle and Sting started with heavy blows, meanwhile Sting kept knocking Kurt Angle out of the ring at every chance he could. The fight then spilled out to the floor and we finally had a good match going. After a short fight on the floor, we got the rest holds, with Angle trying to hold down Sting in order to wear him out. I really liked the midway point of this match when both men went for the double cross body block. That was definitely something you’d see in the mid 90’s era main event. I can’t appreciate the constant rest holds by Angle. I know that it worked for a lot of technical wrestlers, but those were in combination with their finishing moves. It seems like Angle just wants to slow things down so he can get the Angle Slam. Which he got onto Sting for a two count! Sting missed a Stinger splash, which got him an Angle Slam for his trouble. Kurt’s Moonsault is dead on accurate still, but he couldn’t put Sting away with that either. The Rolling German Suplex’s have to be hurting Angle’s neck, and they were promptly turned into a Scorpion Death Drop, prompting another two count. Double J, for all the feuding he has done, actually didn’t get involved too much, until he got hit with a HUGE lariat from Angle on accident. This prompted Mick Foley to jump in the ring, meanwhile Sting had the Scorpion Death Lock on a tapping Angle. Angle managed to get back into it, meanwhile Jeff Jarrett was still out, but then when Foley failed to count to three Angle kicked him in the nuts! This was rad, Angle finally snapped and he had Jarrett and Foley both knocked out cold! Foley got in the mix and accidentally hit Sting with a Steel Chair! Things were starting to look like Summerslam 1997 all over again! As Angle couldn’t put away Sting, he kept getting angry at Jarrett and started to slap him around a little. That prompted Sting to get the upper hand with a little help from Double J and it was all over! That’s right, Sting once again defeats Kurt Angle and is still the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
This ppv sucked. This final match wasn’t all that great, and I can’t believe that the TNA ppv crew cost me another forty bucks or so. I hate these guys sometimes. Sting, come on man, Angle? Come on dude…seriously? TNA needs to change things up dramatically.

Don't miss out on WWE Starrcade: The Essential Collection DVD Box Set!
The show opened up in black and white with clips from the public domain of recession. It also showed some previous things that went down on TNA Impact the last few weeks. Overall not a great intro, and I could do without hearing Hoobastank every five seconds. Seriously, why did Hoobastank get picked? They suck, this intro sucks, and boy am not looking forward to more tna ppv’s…unless they change their booking completely.
Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, and The Governor defeated The Beautiful People & Madison Rayne
The Governor started this match, even though no one cares about Sarah Palin any longer. Oh well, here we go, the start of this match up, nothing too insane here, just your average start. The Governor is out there barefoot, and it’s interesting to see, I don’t think there are a lot of wrestlers out there without their boots. The match then moved forward from that point with the good guys (I should say gals) in full control. I also must note that Don West is out there with Mike Tenay, though he still sucks if you ask me; and I know you didn’t. The match was fast paced, a lot of distracting the ref here and there, which is interesting for sure. The match went into a melee, and things got crazy outside, leaving Taylor Wilde inside to get the pinfall after a bridge suplex. This match was ok at best, it seemed rushed at the end, and before things could settle, we went to the backstage area. TNA did a terrible job with the knockout match up, it was lame; oh well.
*note The Brutus Magnus graphic was premature, so if you were quick, you caught it.
**note again, out came a Navy Officer to be the guest ring announcer.
Brutus Magnus defeated Eric Young
Eric Young will face off against Brutus, and why not? The kid is on a minor roll, with that big win on Thursday against some fat dude that the Main Event Mafia found. Brutus Magnus didn’t catch Eric Young off of a moonsault from the corner, and the crowd made the two wrestlers eat it, and it showed that Magnus is not quite ready for the ppv world. He’s not that good, face it, I’m not sure why they are trying to make this star, as I don’t really like him, and while there are some moments of glory, he’s just not there yet, at least in my opinion. Magnus was not half bad with that top rope finisher, which was insane, if you saw it. It was a fireman’s carry to jump off the top rope, almost like death valley driver in a way. Good overall ending, but a terrible match up if you ask me. Once again it seemed rushed.
Sheik Abdul Bashir came out and just randomly yelled about how TNA is racist for not hiring him to wrestle. Jim Cornette came out to yell at Bashir to tell him that no one likes him, and that’s why he’s not on the ppv. He then had that Naval Officer come into the ring (Cornette called him up). The naval dude starts to sing “God Bless America”. Bashir has no choice but to leave, seemingly disgusted. This is a dumb angle, and I’m not sure why the TNA writers keep trying to push this, they don’t need it.
Matt Morgan defeated Abyss in a 10,000 Tacks Match
This match started out fast, with both men throwing haymakers, and pushing forth a great amount of effort. Of course, this thing had to slow down, because it wasn’t going to be a progressive match with the amount of brutality that these two started out with. Matt Morgan and Abyss fought to the ramp entrance, with Morgan hitting the Carbon Footprint right into the tacks. It was a wicked fall, and that was the end of the match up.
ODB had some stupid getting a date contest, it was dumb. Some dude named Deter or something, it was stupid, this is the dumbest thing I’ve seen on tna in a long time.
Awesome Kong defeated Sojourner Bolt in a TNA Knockouts Title Match
This match had a good opening, with Bolt sending every offensive move she had early on, but it was Kong who pushed her weight around and began to dominate with heavy moves that gave her a lot of breathing room and like a bigger wrestler, she just methodically worked over Bolt, causing a lot of strain. Things took a slight turn when Kong missed a huge splash off the top rope, causing Bolt to get a second chance in this match up. She went for quick pins, and tight rolls ups, but couldn’t score the three count. Bolt got caught trying a Hurricanrana which proved to be the end of her match up with Awesome Kong dropping her on the back of her neck and winning the match; another successful defense.
Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner ended in a no contest
Samoa Joe came in and just started a fist fight with Scott Steiner. Nothing else, just a straight fist fight, as he ran in and started off fighting, busting open Scott Steiner immediately. This match was the same match we saw with Edge and Matt Hardy when Hardy came back from being fired. Steiner got busted open, Joe beat up the ref, the match was thrown out, I guess Scott Steiner kind of wins via dq, right? I don’t know.
Aj Styles defeated Booker T in a Legends Championship Match
This match started off a little slower than the previous matches, and rightfully so. Booker To isolated Aj’s Arm for a good part of this match up, creating a little space between him and the high flyer. Aj did mnage to get a few high spots in, but Booker was definitely putting the rest holds on this thing and offering a more technically sound match up. The two guys looked evenly matched at the midway of this match, but Booker seemed to be one step ahead of Aj Styles, seriously pushing the limits of the former heavyweight champion. Aj Styles was wobbly at this point, creating doubt in many people’s minds as to whether or not he can really beat the big man. Booker and Aj had perfect timing with some high spot reversals, at one point Booker caught Aj coming off the top rope, and it was just perfect timing. The Styles Clash got the better of Booker T and things finally got good for Aj Styles as he is the new Legends Champion!
Backstage, apparently Samoa Joe murdered Scott Steiner? He had that stupid looking knife of his full of blood. Nice huh? Great job TNA writers, allude to the fact that Joe stabbed Steiner, great writing, great stupid writing! I hate Tna sometimes.
Team 3-D defeated Beer Money via count out in a TNA Tag Team Championship match
Team 3-D was the odds on favorite here, as there was no way that TNA would fire one of their veteran tag teams, leaving them without 2 solid workers. It’s not like the WWE would want another run of Team 3-d, considering that both guys are not as slim and beefed up as they were in WWE. Beer Money were not doing well early on in this match, Devon had things going quite well in the onset of this match up. Team 3-D had a lo of good moments in this match up, and Beer Money were definitely getting out wrestled on more than one occasion in this match up. The comedy spots were a bit too much, which was really weird. The match was thrown out, when Beer Money brought a chair in and Team 3-D wins, via disqualification…
Then the match got restarted and Beer Money walked away with a ten count. This match sucked, well the ending sucked. Don West helped a little, and even after Jim Cornette tried to chase down Beer Money, Team 3-D came to Don West and told him to watch his back! Team 3-D got screwed, and this was boring at the end.
Suicide defeated Consequences Creed, Jay Lethal, and The Motor City Machine Guns in a destination x match for the x division championship
This match opened up like it should have, straight forward, fast paced action. The Motor City Machine Guns had the advantage going into this match up, especially since their always in the ring together as a team. It seemed like they were set to win this, considering this match started at 7 pm pst. Obviously there were some high spots, the spots ranged from going outside of the ring to simple top rope action. Suicide was not doing all that well, at least not early on, it seemed that anything he wanted to do was thwarted by someone in the ring. The match up quickly spilled to the outside and Suicide managed a rolling thunder move onto four of his competitors, making for a good overall replay high spot. By the time it was time to do the super electric chair/powerbomb spot, I got tired of this match. Seriously, these matches are just spot fests and there’s very little psychology to them. I know we’re dealing with a match that was supposed to magnify the x-division, but this is getting ridiculous. I guess I’m starting to dislike spot fests, it just seems so obvious to me, a little too obvious. After all the whining I did about this match, it did have a cool ending. Suicide jumped off the top of a pillar onto the middle of the destination x set up, and knocked all competitors off, to win the x-division championship!
Sting defeated Kurt Angle in a World Heavyweight Championship Match
Finally, the main event, and this one started with neither man truly getting the edge. Kurt Angle and Sting started with heavy blows, meanwhile Sting kept knocking Kurt Angle out of the ring at every chance he could. The fight then spilled out to the floor and we finally had a good match going. After a short fight on the floor, we got the rest holds, with Angle trying to hold down Sting in order to wear him out. I really liked the midway point of this match when both men went for the double cross body block. That was definitely something you’d see in the mid 90’s era main event. I can’t appreciate the constant rest holds by Angle. I know that it worked for a lot of technical wrestlers, but those were in combination with their finishing moves.

Tna Impact Results 9/18/08 and Review The Return of Double J
I admit, I didn’t want to watch TNA, I dreaded what was coming on, and I knew it wasn’t going to be good. I just hoped I was wrong, and with a whiny Samoa Joe starting things off, I fastened my seatbelt and waited for wrestling to show up on TNA Impact…I had my fingers crossed, and here’s how the wrestling went down.
Does anybody else get annoyed at how much whining Samoa Joe does? I liked him better when he was dominating the x-division and putting on 4 star matches with the likes of The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels. Now he’s just whining about how Sting isn’t always there to sacrifice. Lame, if you ask me.
Christian Cage & Aj Styles defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
I’m not sure why TNA puts two of their main event caliber wrestlers opening up the show with a couple of jobbers. The Machine Guns are good, but they haven’t proven themselves at all, and are usually put into these hot shot tag team matches only to lose. If you had money on The Machine Guns, you were sadly disappointed with yet another loss for the young guns of TNA. The good guys win this one easily, and it does nothing to forward their individual paths in TNA. Post match one of the Machine Guns flips Christian the bird, and the announcers go nuts about how Sting was right.
Please fire Mike Tenay and Don West! Worst announcers ever.
Johnny Devine, Petey Williams, and Jimmy Rave The Prince Justice Brotherhood
We had six man tag team action with the superheroes of TNA and three other jobbers. I kid, those guys aren’t jobbers, they are part of the Rock and Roll infection and the former x-division champion and current Scott Steiner clone Petey Williams. This match was quick, and really didn’t have time to develop at all. The best parts of the match featured Petey Williams, as he is very talented, despite his looks. The Justice Brotherhood won this one easily, and that was that, they left the ring fast.
Post match though, things got really exciting. The Rock and Roll Infection triple teamed Petey Willaims and during the melee, Lance Hoyt pushed the ref, but the ref got angry and started to fight back! Williams and the ref both started to clean house, and beat down the bad guys, and things get really good, Earl Hebner comes out to calm the ref down, and we’re most likely going to get the ref wrestling someone in the near future. Overall the best part of Impact so far was this post match melee, because the actual wrestling was too short and didn’t feature anything worthwhile.
Booker T defeated Jay Lethal
I’m not sure why I was so interested in this match up. But it was probably the best thing in wrestling this week. Black Machismo used to be more Macho Man-esque, but now he’s not really doing as much to resonate with Randy Savage fans. If you remember, Randy Savage did a lot of rest holds, alongside fast clotheslines, and top rope double axe handle smashes. Savage was fast, and he had a certain move set, but he had a charisma that Lethal doesn’t really have, even though Booker T is a great opponent to try and unleash more Randy Savage mannerisms. Lethal put in a lot of work into this matchup, and Booker T looked as though he wasn’t going to win this one, but right when I was thinking this thought, Booker T hit the scissors kick and BOOM, Lethal was out for the count and Booker T defeats Black Machismo clean with the scissors kick. Not half bad, I enjoyed it greatly.
Rhino & Taylor Wilde defeated Kip James & Velvet Sky
This match sucked. Kip James is huge, that’s what I realized when watching this match. He’s a huge guy, and he’s not being used in any capacity as a wrestler other than to act gay just like he was acting way back when. Rhino is ok, but I can’t rally behind him unless he’s goring people through tables. This match was really slow and boring, and while I should’ve cared a bit more, I just couldn’t stand to see these four wasting their talent on such a lackluster match. There was a lot of stalling, and a lot of misses that just seemed too obvious to be good. For example, Rhino is in the corner, Kip stalls, and then runs at him, and goes for a splash, but everything seemed to be in slow motion so Rhino moves out of the way, meanwhile Kip holds the ropes to let himself down onto the turnbuckle slowly, and reacts as though that move knocked the wind out of him. Taylor Wilde ducks a shot with pipe of sorts, then gets the win out of nowhere, and this match is finally over. This is the lowest point in the TNA Impact show, and the worst match I’ve seen in a long time. I’d rather see a WWE Jobbers match than watch this one ever again. I couldn’t even focus on the women to distract me, this match sucked, and it really made me want to go back to sleep.
The Double J Return
Double J Returned tonight, and boy did he have a lot to say. He basically told Sting that he was no better than the veterans of WCW and that the guys in the back are just waiting for him and Angle alongside Booker T to just step aside. I was impressed with this segment, and it was incredible to hear someone say that the veterans need to move out of the way and make the younger guys stars, BUT, this isn’t going to happen, you know it isn’t going to happen. Double J is stellar, and I’m happy to see him back in the business.
The best part of this promo at the end of Impact was Kurt Angle’s response to Double J. He called the fans assholes, he said that He alone carried the company for 2 years, single handedly! He then said that Double J is a has been and that if Jeff wants to come out and talk than he better be ready to get socked out. Kurt Angle then tells Double J to get the hell out of the ring, and that HE’S Not a wrestler and doesn’t have anything left.
What happens next is something that could’ve been great, but instead just simply makes me hate TNA. Mick Foley shows up on screen and cuts a Cactus Jack Promo, Mick Foley is now officially in TNA!
