Ah yes, I finally get to sit down and watch TNA. I know that this is going to be a train wreck, as I heard "They" was just Forchan or whatever they call it, and I can already hear crickets going off for the story lines that the TNA creative team is pushing, but maybe, just maybe they can do something better....we'll see.
TNA Impact 2/10/11 Results
Immortal came out and it looks like a bunch of jobbers instead of the main event status that you'd hope for. THe members are seriously bad, including Double J, Karen Angle, the security guards, the hardy's and more. It's sad.
Fortune came out while Bischoff was cutting a promo and they have new shirts. They stood face to face with Immortal, and they squared off verbally. After some words were exchanged, they fought each other and out came Crimson, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner hit the ring and cleared everyone out. That was that.
Bischoff was backstage trying to recruit Super Mex to join Immortal.
This was supposed to be a tables match or something, but it started off as a complete brawl. Joe and Pope ran off, the Dudley's were fighting on the outside. Matt Hardy for once didn't look bloated and fat, but maybe it was just the file I was watching. Rvd and Hardy fought each other and it looked like Hardy was drugged because he was taking some odd looking bumps while RVD was trying to compensate for his opponents obvious impairment. BUlly Ray got in the face of Devon's kids and the kids jumped the rail and held Bubba's legs while Devon shoved him through a table and that was that. This match was over. A lousy match with a cool spot ending, I guess I can't complain that much, it had some good moments, specifically Devon's kids jumping the guard rail and helping Bubba fall through a table.
Rvd, Devon & Samoa Joe defeated Bully Ray, The Pope, and Matt Hardy
Karen Angle isn't THAT ugly, I don't know what the internet is saying.
Jarrett said that if Angle wins the match on sunday, Angle will get custody of the kids?! Oh man...this is just bad. Jarrett stated that if he wins Angle will renew her vows with Double J live and Angle has to walk down the aisle and give away Karen Angle in marriage to Jarrett. This is stupid, that's what I would be chanting. Nothing really happened with the contract signing, no one got beat up, it was just a waste of time.
This was an 8 knockouts tag match, but no one said anything they just kept announcing women. Rosita was introduced as a new knockout and she's really small. She's a lot smaller than the other divas and isn't quite as good. That didn't matter, the rest of the knockouts fought each other and this match was a cluster of a battle. Rosita got the pinfall victory, and that was that...a strange kind of match.
Sarita & Rosita and Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Angelina Love & Winter and Mickie James
Madison Rayne and Mickie James will battle this weekend in a Last Knockout's Standing match. There was a promo, but it was lousy.
I'm not sure why they would have a title match the Thursday before a ppv and then have Jeff Hardy cut a promo like he's the champion! What the heck!?!
Ken Anderson and Matt Morgan put on a very safe looking match. This match wasn't at all anything I'd expect. It was safe until the ref bump and that's when Hernandez hit the ring and beat up Matt Morgan. Morgan would get thrown into the ring and Anderson would pick up the scraps and get the win. The match for the most part was boring, and tired. Anderson is NOT a charismatic champion, the title belt looks like a divas belt, and on a ladder outside the ring was Jeff Hardy just watching.
Ken Anderson defeated Matt Morgan
Hernandez then beat up Anderson, and that was that.
The x-division triple threat was the highlight of the night. Robbie E, Suicide and Brian Kendrick had an interesting match with lots of high spots, lots of reversals, and just a battle in a fast match. This match seemed as though I was watching in fast forward because things just kept going forward and the match seemed like it was going to get Suicide over, but instead it was Robbie E and Kendrick that impressed me most. After some distraction from Cookie, Robbie E would get the win.
Robbie E defeated Suicide and Brian Kendrick in a triple threat match
The line up for Against All Odds was run down, and it was not impressive. I feel sorry for anyone that is going to pay money to see it, because it's a terrible card.
The main event wasn't even about the WORLD TITLE! THis is the same problem I have with WWE sometimes. They make their titles seem unimportant.
Jeff Jarrett teamed up with Jeff Hardy to face off against Kurt Angle and Aj Styles, and something was awry up front. Aj Styles had the same tights he's always had, which doesn't seem to change anything since he just turned face, right? He should update his look a little. Angle started the match after a tag in, and Jarrett ran away. Hardy and Angle locking up was interesting to see, and it was very obvious that ANgle still has some amazing wrestling skill, despite being in the worst wrestling company going today. This match took a lot of rest holds, and through a lot of commercials, you had to watch some of the worst wrestling. Sure Angle can go, but Hardy was just sloppy and throwing some terrible offense at the olympic gold medalist. The match sped up towards the end and Angle and Styles took it to the bad guys here, and Aj Styles would eventually get the pinfall, thanks in part to a distraction by Karen Angle. Aj hit a nice splash and pinned Jarrett.
Aj Styles & Kurt Angle defeated Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy
Post match Jarrett hit the stroke on Angle and Styles. Hardy then came in and hit the Twist of Hate. Fortune hit the ring, IMmortal hit the ring, and everyone just started fighting.
This night in wrestling was some of the worst I've seen in a while. The matches seemed clustered together, and performed with lazy attitudes. The story line is so convoluted, and I really don't care about the title picture. There's no tag team titles? The x-Division title isn't going to be defended? What happened to the tv title? See, there's a lot of terrible points for TNA and it doesn't need to be this way.
Oh well. Lots of random crap to end today's wrestling posts...I'm going to sleep now.

TNA Impact 12/23/10 Results
Jeff Jarrett defeated Amazing Red
Kaz & Robbie E defeated Generation ME
Angelina Love & Winter defeated Tara & Madison Rayne
Aj Styles vs Douglas Williams went to a draw
Matt Morgan, The Motor City machine Guns, and RVD vs Fortune
TNA Impact 12/23/10 Review
The show started with a recap of last week's show, and I liked the recap far better than the actual show. It's funny how TNA can make something look so great in the recap but can't keep the majority of wrestling fans attention during their 2 hour showcase. I hate the title screen, by the way, in case you were wondering.
The show started with Immortal or Fortune or somebody coming to the ring. I have no idea who is in this group, it's just so dang large, it's like NWO 3,000 and I don't understand why I should care since there are no real faces in the company.
The ring was set up for a "weigh" in of sorts. Mick Foley came out to talk about Anderson and what not. They are still talking about the "concussion" thing. I had a concussion once, it sucked, but I was back in action within a few weeks. Bischoff talked at length about how Foley sucks etc.
Jeff Jarrett defeated Amazing Red
Jarrett came out again for his MMA gimmick. Amazing Red came out to challenge Jeff and lost the match after a few moments. Yep, Red taps out and that was the end of the night.
Jarrett gets good heat, I admit that. however, Jarrett doesn't have a real opponent to knock him off his pedestal. Amazing Red could be used so much better in the x-division with Jay Lethal, and yet he's jobbed out here in a stupid match with jarrett. He said that his baby brother would come fight Jarrett next week. Hopefully it's Angle.
Kaz & Robbie E defeated Generation ME
The match wasn't half bad. it had a good amount of back and forth. Generation Me and Robbie took most of the match and in the end Kaz tagged in and pinned a random dude and was the #1 contender to the x-division title.
I just want to point out that Shark Boy hasn't been involved since the ppv, so there's a wasted thing. Robbie E is pushed aside now? Lethal is out of character now, he can barely talk on the mic since he isn't doing the Macho Man gimmick. The whole match up was just odd. The x-division title used to be a highlight of TNA and now, it's just an after thought.
Sarita and Velvet Sky fought in the dressing room. It was a nice cat Fight. I'd love to fight Sarita in the back room, it'd be fun.
Angelina Love & Winter defeated Tara & Madison Rayne
This match wasn't very good at all. It had a few moments that were good, but it was mostly brawling and random moves. Winter came out towards the end and started fighting Madison Rayne. Winter won the match after Angelina took a lot of punishment, but she nearly botched a sideslam, and it just looked bad. Angelina Love & Winter are the new Knockouts Tag Team Champions, and it's a shame. I haven't seen a positive Knockouts match up since Gail Kim and Awesome Kong were in TNA.
Aj Styles vs Douglas Williams went to a draw
This match wasn't great, but it did have a lot of action. Aj Styles was completely winded towards the end. Douglas Williams seemed just fine throughout the match up. The two were supposed to fight in an Iron Man match and it wasn't half bad. At one point Aj Styles got on the mic and asked for a rematch, and Williams said no, at first. Then after Styles continued, and got a rematch for Genesis. This whole segment was boring.
If Styles loses at the ppv, he's going to get fired.
I'm telling you, this segment was relatively boring to me.
Matt Morgan, The Motor City machine Guns, and RVD vs Fortune
this match was ok at best. It was rushed and despite the rush, it had little to no great thing. Robert Roode looked good as Beer Money is a good overall team together. Other than them, the rest was just tired. The tag teams did most of the fighting.
The show ended and you had to tune into Reaction to finish watching the show. I don't get Reaction so I didn't see it. So I don't know what happened. Sorry. TNA sucks, and they continue to baffle me as to why they do this. I don't care to even investigate what happened, so your guess is as good as mine as to what happened after the match was over.
TNA once again ruins wrestling for most fans.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Team 3D
RVD defeated Tommy Dreamer
Fortune defeated EV2.0
Abyss defeated The Pope
Jeff Jarrett defeated Samoa Joe

TNA Turning Point 2010 PPV Review
I'm late on this one, but that's ok...I think.
Robbie E defeated Jay Lethal in the x division championship match
I kind of miss the "Black Machismo" gimmick. However, I'll settle for this "cruiserweight" Jay, as many of us must do. The match really favored Robbie E in this match, he was generating a lot of heat with his offense. When he slapped on the Abdominal Stretch, the crowd was all over him in terms of heat, and a lot of other points featured the crowd crapping on the Jersey Shore knockoff. Jay Lethal had some offense, but after a distraction from Cookie, Robbie E hit his neckbreaker (rude awakening) and won the match up. He is now the new X-Division champion.
The match was ok. I'm not a big fan of "hot shotting" the title to a new comer, but I'm ok with it. Hopefully Robbie E could make the belt mean more, and have legit competition. His character based gimmick could actually work out quite well.
Tara vs. Mickie James (no contest)
This match was either double countout or simply no contest. The women fought from the ring to the outside, and just kept fighting. This wasn't a match as much as it was a brawl. It eventually turned into a street fight. It was ok, but I'm tired of the "Hardcore Country" gimmic. I didn't love the match, but I also didn't hate it, so I guess it passes.
The two ended up in the middle of the ring, after the match just fighting and in the end...stripping each other's clothes off?!? Yeah, the segment ended oddly, and I'm not sure where they were going with it...I'm sure the feud will eventually come to more matches.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Team 3D
This match was billed as Team 3D's last match. It was back and forth, with lots of counters, lots of different momentum changes, lots of hits and misses, and heavy impact moves from both teams. Every big move was kicked out of, every big move was hit, and towards the end the story became, "no one has ever kicked out of 3D" and of course, that was over...as the Machine Guns picked up the win and that was it...I guess that's the end of Team 3D? ok.
I read that Team 3D just signed new 3 year contracts, so I'm not sure what's next for that team. Single's Competition? Road Agents? I don't know.
RVD defeated Tommy Dreamer
This match was painful to watch. These two are way past their prime and each of them showed signs of aging. The match eventually was won by RVD, with little to no fan fare. I didn't care of this match, and it just looked tiring. I'm tired of watching these idiots...I don't even know what it proved.
Fortune defeated EV2.0
This match sucked...another parade of "old men". Sabu was pinned and this match was over. Sabu is fired, I guess. This match was boring, and sucked. Sorry, it just didn't have a lot to it, and this Fortune & Immortan thing is so confusing. Plus, who kidnapped Samoa Joe? Just sayin.
Abyss defeated The Pope
The Pope got a lot of offense against Abyss, but that didn't matter. No one cared...at least I didn't. Abyss wins...again. I'm sick of Abyss, he's the worst character/wrestler going in TNA today. The Pope had his "congregation" at ringside, and Eric Bischoff got them to turn on Pope and beat him up. That was that.
No one cares.
FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!
Jeff Jarrett defeated Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe losees, this sucks. Joe got choked out with a night stick, and the security guys helped Double J win. There was a ref bump, there were a few moments that were ok, but overall...Joe gets buried. I hate this, you hate this, ugh...they sucked the life out of TNA's ppv tonight.
Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Morgan
Not exactly a four star classic, but it was watchable. Matt Morgan put up a good overall fight, but he couldn't take out Hardy for too long and Hardy managed to pick up a victory. NO ONE CARED! Hardy worked on Morgan's knee, and Morgan no sold much of it. A twist of fate got the win...who cares....I'm sick of TNA.

TNA Impact 10/21/10 Results
Robbie E defeated Amazing Red
Aj Styles defeated The Pope in a street fight
Beer Money defeated RVD & Sabu
Mickie James defeated Sarita
Kazarian defeated Ken Anderson in an Ultimate X Match
TNA Impact 10/21/10 Review
The show starts with a recap, and the recap is FAR better than the actual show from last week. It's actually intriguing, not having to watch the whole thing unfold for an hour or so with NO wrestling.
Ken Anderson got in ring and talked about how he wants to get Hardy back and another title shot, but RVD came out to talk about how HE deserves the title shot, since he never lost. Then on the screen came Jeff Hardy with an apology...a "raven" style apology.
Eric Bischoff then came out on the mic to talk. He said to tune into reaction...I doubt anyone is watching that show. I know I'm not.
He set up some matches...and I was already trying to poke my own eye out.
Robbie E defeated Amazing Red
This was a very short, very dull moving match. Amazing Red isn't half bad, and Robbie E took a lot of shots before hitting a Diamond Cutter. NO it's NOT the RKO, Robbie E does it like DDP, and it looked nice.
The fans were all chanting "boring". I didn't hate it, I think Robbie has skills, he'll just need other opponents. I'm going to go on a limb and say that Robbie E reminds me of The Model Ric Martel...there I said it. He'll need more in ring and promo work to match the Model though.
The pope cut a promo from a strip club.
After a lot of random backstage crap and "Winter" debuting, it came time for a Street Fight for the Television Championship!
I'm a fan of good street fights, that being said, it's been a LONG time since I've seen a good street fight. I'd say, not since the late 90's have I seen a quality pro-wrestling street fight.
Aj Styles defeated The Pope in a street fight
The match started on the ramp and then quickly got into the ring, and instead of offsetting moves, the two were literally exchanging right's and left's for a good part of the match. The match was looking to turn into a wrestling match when Abyss ran in and beat up The Pope. The rules stated that Fortune couldn't interfere, and I guess Abyss is NOT a member of Fortune?!? Whatever. Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam and then Aj Styles pinned The Pope and this was over. Not a great match, but I didn't hate the way it turned out, it's sketchy, but I'll take whatever wrestling I can get at this point.
Backstage The Pope got in Samoa Joe's face and Joe said to get out of his face...and Joe said he has "no ones" back.
And now, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE!!?!?!!!
Generation Me and The Machine Guns had a little altercation in the parking lot.
Double J cut a promo about how he's awesome and what not...ugh...
Samoa Joe came out to confront Double J and the two brawled, with help from TNA security. They then handcuffed Samoa Joe!!!! Joe tried to fight back but it was 3 on 1, and Joe was getting beat down like crazy! Woo! Joe is a chump, face it! I kind of like Double J's shirt, with the skulls and the guitar, not bad.
Mike Tenay started going nuts on the announce table, as Taz listened in, and that was that. Tenay looked seriously pissed.
Beer Money defeated RVD & Sabu
This match was a train wreck, it was seriously bad. Despite all that, the closing moments weren't half bad. Sabu threw a chair and it hit RVD in the head, and they lost to Beer Money.
Post match, RVD and Sabu started to brawl, and EV2.0 ran out to stop them.
Mickie James defeated Sarita
Sarita and Mickie James actually had a wrestling match. Yep, a real wrestling match, something that hasn't been seen in a long time with TNA. The match started relatively awkwardly and took a little while to get going, but once it got going, it wasn't half bad. The win came after one of the worst kicks I've ever seen.
Post match, Tara ran in and beat up Mickie James.
Kazarian defeated Ken Anderson in an Ultimate X Match
Anderson was beat up in the backstage area, and was then fed to Kazarian. Anderson had his shoulder taped up, and ran in and tried to give some offense, but like the old saying goes, what good is a "one armed man, in a butt kicking contest?" and that was the theme of this match up. Kazarian wasn't having the easiest time, but it just looked like he was going to win with relative ease against a one handed Anderson. Anderson at one point caught Kazarian coming off the X wire and right into the MIC Check, which was quite good! Anderson reached under the ring and found a ladder! Anderson was on top of the ladder and ready to get the X when Fortune ran down and hit Anderson with a nice sit out Powerbomb from Matt Morgan. Kaz was then just lifted to the top of the X and he won the match! Matt Morgan is a legit 7 feet tall, wow...he is huge. Kazarian wins with help. I actually liked this match, it was more than watchable, and light years ahead of a lot of TNA's previous efforts.
Post match, Anderson got a pipe and cleared the ring, but out ran Jeff Hardy and hit Anderson with a very hard chair shot to the back of the head. It looked bad...and Anderson was busted open in the back of the head! I've never really seen a blade job to the back of the head, but it was odd. Hardy then put Anderson's arm inside the ladder and hit it with the chair! Anderson's essentially dead here.
I loved the ending of TNA, and dare I say, it's the best show in wrestling thanks to that awesome ending, and the culmination of the main event. I liked it, wow....Anderson looks legit' hurt. Hardy then argued with the fans, and that was awesome too. Wow...I actually liked TNA Impact...it's a rarity folks, a real rarity.
The end of the show featured Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff in the back of an SUV and Kurt Angle showing up and breaking the back windshield open! Angle then ran away....wow...not bad.

Backstage The Pope got in Samoa Joe's face and Joe said to get out of his face...and Joe said he has "no ones" back.
And now, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE!!?!?!!!
Generation Me and The Machine Guns had a little altercation in the parking lot.
Double J cut a promo about how he's awesome and what not...ugh...
Samoa Joe came out to confront Double J and the two brawled, with help from TNA security. They then handcuffed Samoa Joe!!!! Joe tried to fight back but it was 3 on 1, and Joe was getting beat down like crazy! Woo! Joe is a chump, face it! I kind of like Double J's shirt, with the skulls and the guitar, not bad.
Mike Tenay started going nuts on the announce table, as Taz listened in, and that was that. Tenay looked seriously pissed.
Beer Money defeated RVD & Sabu
This match was a train wreck, it was seriously bad. Despite all that, the closing moments weren't half bad. Sabu threw a chair and it hit RVD in the head, and they lost to Beer Money.
Post match, RVD and Sabu started to brawl, and EV2.0 ran out to stop them.
Mickie James defeated Sarita
Sarita and Mickie James actually had a wrestling match. Yep, a real wrestling match, something that hasn't been seen in a long time with TNA. The match started relatively awkwardly and took a little while to get going, but once it got going, it wasn't half bad. The win came after one of the worst kicks I've ever seen.
Post match, Tara ran in and beat up Mickie James.
Kazarian defeated Ken Anderson in an Ultimate X Match
Anderson was beat up in the backstage area, and was then fed to Kazarian. Anderson had his shoulder taped up, and ran in and tried to give some offense, but like the old saying goes, what good is a "one armed man, in a butt kicking contest?" and that was the theme of this match up. Kazarian wasn't having the easiest time, but it just looked like he was going to win with relative ease against a one handed Anderson. Anderson at one point caught Kazarian coming off the X wire and right into the MIC Check, which was quite good! Anderson reached under the ring and found a ladder! Anderson was on top of the ladder and ready to get the X when Fortune ran down and hit Anderson with a nice sit out Powerbomb from Matt Morgan. Kaz was then just lifted to the top of the X and he won the match! Matt Morgan is a legit 7 feet tall, wow...he is huge. Kazarian wins with help. I actually liked this match, it was more than watchable, and light years ahead of a lot of TNA's previous efforts.
Post match, Anderson got a pipe and cleared the ring, but out ran Jeff Hardy and hit Anderson with a very hard chair shot to the back of the head. It looked bad...and Anderson was busted open in the back of the head! I've never really seen a blade job to the back of the head, but it was odd. Hardy then put Anderson's arm inside the ladder and hit it with the chair! Anderson's essentially dead here.
I loved the ending of TNA, and dare I say, it's the best show in wrestling thanks to that awesome ending, and the culmination of the main event. I liked it, wow....Anderson looks legit' hurt. Hardy then argued with the fans, and that was awesome too. Wow...I actually liked TNA Impact...it's a rarity folks, a real rarity.
The end of the show featured Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff in the back of an SUV and Kurt Angle showing up and breaking the back windshield open! Angle then ran away....wow...not bad.

Fortune defeated The Pope

RVD vs Ken Anderson (no contest)
TNA Impact 10/14/10 Review
TNA tried to pull a WCW 1996 on the ppv, and you know what? It was one of the biggest lackluster things in a long time, and NO i'm not just jaded on wrestling, it's agreed upon across a lot of podcasts, and wrestling websites.
Abyss, Hogan, Double J and Jarrett all cut promos to start the show off.
They kept talking, but out came Fortune. Flair started to cut a promo about how Fortune is running things.
Flair and Hogan were set to square off, and instead of fighting they hugged! Yep. Fortune is now part of "THEY" too. Wow...so stupid.
OUt came Jeff Hardy, the champ....mind you this is 20 minutes into the show, and no wrestling. Hardy cut a promo, and he didn't have a lot of paint on or anything.
Out came Sting and Kevin Nash.
Kevin Nash got on the mic and cut a "nice guy" promo and said that this time he's NOT going to join "THEY" and just walk away.
Sting got on the mic, and he cut a "nice guy" promo too. Sting walked away too. They just left.
Bischoff got on the mic and said that Sting and Nash would be at home getting FAT, and that's that. 30 minutes of the show was dedicated to "THEY" going off. I remember this same angle 10 years back or so....called the NEW WORLD ORDER. Yep.
Backstage Dixie was asking Sting & Nash to stay, but they walked out. Hogan and Bischoff then confronted Dixie and she slapped the crap out of Bischoff!!!! Wow...backstage...Dixie gave her best performance, and Hogan totally talked her down! Wow. Compelling? Not really, but eh, whatever, I'll take what I can get.
Dixie was thrown out of Hogan's office, and Serj (Dixie's husband) got knocked the EFF out! Hahah. 35 minutes into the show, still no wrestling.
Madison Rayne defeated Tara for the knockouts title
In a "finger poke" of doom match, Tara gave up the belt. Tara laid down for Madison Rayne.
Dare I say, 40 minutes into the show and still NO wrestling.
Mickie James came out and challenged Madison...yawns ensued.
45 minutes and no wrestling.
Kurt Angle came down and cut a promo.
Kurt Angle then got beat down by Double J after he came out and cut a promo on Angle. Angle was handcuffed and beaten and battered, and that was that. Tazz came off the booth and helped Angle, and that was that. Angle's done...Double J has a ruthless streak? That's that...bye bye Angle...I hope he goes to WWE and feuds with the All American, American, American, American, American.
52 minutes and NO wrestling.
We get to see Samoa Joe walking around some beach. He cut a promo on Double J.
So 50+ minutes before we finally get a wrestling match, if you can call it that.
Samoa Joe defeated Abyss via dq
This wasn't much of a match, it was just Abyss dominating Samoa Joe for the most part. Joe did manage an insane move by diving through the middle ropes and taking out Abyss, but other than that, it was just Abyss beating up Samoa Joe. Joe won via dq, and that prompted RVD to come out. Abyss then beat up JOe. But RVD saved the day...kind of.
Ugh...what a terrible night of wrestling.
RVD cut a promo on Hardy. Ugh....
Fortune defeated The Pope
The Pope fought all of Fortune. It's interesting to me that Fortune cheated to win, 5 on 1. Whatever. The Pope got buried, and that's that. I didn't hate the match, and I'm ok with a 5 on 1 beat down, I just wish there was more wrestling on the show.
The Shore had a promo with some chick from the real show...nothing I remembered happened there.
RVD vs Ken Anderson (no contest)
Anderson and RVD put on an ok match for tv. There were some nice reversals from Anderson, but the crowd wasn't at all into this match up. RVD looked winded after 5 or so minutes, and that's just sad. Anderson carried most of the match, even countering the Five Star Frog Splash and Rolling THunder, but it was painfully obvious that this match wasn't going to get a finish...yet again.
Bischoff came down, pulled the ref, and out ran Jeff Hardy. Hardy beat up Anderson and RVD with a chair. Yep. That'sit.
The last moment was awesome.
Hardy hit a Twist of Fate on RVD onto a chair that had Anderson's arm in it. SICK finisher!
TNA is terrible, the non finish matches, the 1 hour of setting up the second half of the show...NO x-division match, no tv title match, no tag team titles match...geez...why even have a wrestling show?
Oh and WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE??!?!?!?

TNA Impact 9/2/10 Results
Madison Rayne & Motorcycle Woman defeated The Beautiful People
Stevie Richards defeated Abyss
Fortune defeated EV2.0 in an elimination tag match
Sting defeated Jeff Jarrett
THe Pope & Anderson defeated Kurt Angle & Jeff Hardy
TNA Impact 9/2/10 Review
Hogan and Bischoff came out and out came the four guys that are left in the tournament and how they are going to be fighting against each other and what not....I don't care. Abyss came out and got in everyone's face and was fought off by Hardy and then commercial break....
Madison Rayne & Motorcycle Woman defeated The Beautiful People
This match was just a lot of botches and random moves. I didn't really like it. These women can not wrestle! I got really bored, but there is something intriguing left in this duo. The fact that no one knows the identity of the Motorcycle Woman....until....
NOW!
The motorcycle woman is TARA! Yep. We all knew, but the dumb fans didn't. So there.
Stevie Richards defeated Abyss
This match was terrible. Stevie Richards beat Abyss, and afterwards Abyss beat him up, but in the back EV 2 and Fortune was getting into it. This was stupid. I don't care about either competitor.
Sting defeated Jeff Jarrett
This match completely sucked. Sting won after Nash interfered. This was seriously the biggest waste of time. This was just completely stupid, seriously, completed stupid. Worst match I've seen on Impact in a long time.
But I'm sure the idiots at smartwrestlingfan podcast will just say "it's just wrestling it doesn't need to make sense" well FU guys. This was stupid.
Post match Samoa Joe came out and saved Double J...it was stupid.
London Brawling and The Motor City Machine Guns starteed their feud...I didn't care.
The Brian Kendrick joins EV2.0 ? Yeah I guess.
Fortune defeated EV2.0 in an elimination tag match
Not a terrible match, but it wasn't half bad either. I liked that there was time given to this match up, and how it all meshed together. The ending was a bit obvious, but overall, I didn't hate this. Although, this match should've been saved for a ppv, but then again? TNA needs everything they can get for their Thursday programs. The final 2 guys were Tommy Dreamer and Aj Styles and it was Styles cheating and hitting the pele kick that got him the big win.
THe Pope & Anderson defeated Kurt Angle & Jeff Hardy
This match seemed short, and there were a few spots, but the most telling thing was that no one was really sweating. That's because this match was barely a match. The interesting thing was that Anderson hit the MIC CHECK and Pope stole the pinfall win. Hardy and Angle didn't work well together, and that was that.
Post match Anderson and The Pope took each other out.
Meanwhile, Hardy and Angle started arguing and fighting each other as well.
So all four men were fighting each other, and these are the four contenders that will try to get a TNA title shot...I don't care for either of them...maybe the Pope. Maybe.

TNA Impact 8/26/10 Results
Samoa Joe defeated Orlando Jordan
Kevin Nash defeated Double J
Beer Money defeated The FBI
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Young BUcks
Kurt Angle, The Pope, Jeff Hardy, and Anderson defeated Kaz, Aj Styles, Matt Morgan, and Douglas Williams
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.
