Rybak and Daniel Bryan Steal the Show

Out of all the things that were boring on Raw, one thing captured my attention and was well worth noting. Daniel Bryan, the once scourge of the WWE, put Rybak to one of his best matches ever. He was able to thwart the onslaught of Bryan’s attack at each helm, but didn’t get a super man victory of sorts. He had to earn the final win, but it wasn’t to be. Instead, he lost via disqualification, but not without what seemed to be the most heroic match of Bryan’s career. I thought it was an excellent display, and while Rybak still sucks, he managed to put on a good amount of entertainment for those of us that aren’t quite sold on him.

This time around he seemed to evoke Rhyno at every turn. I found his offense and the whole bout with Bryan to be something straight out of the old guy’s playbook. If there was a gore/spear than this thing would have been emulated long ago. The match is a highlight of what was otherwise a boring show, so you can definitely now go back to whatever it was you were doing, as I get back to work as well.

TNA Impact 12/3/10 Review

Tna Impact started with a quick recap of last week's dinner with Dixie...I don't know what's going to happen now, and I don't care....

The opening was in progress a 4 way dance.

Ink Inc defeated Beer Money, Generation Me, and The Motor City Machine Guns

This match was a cluster of bodies flying and out of the ring. There wasn't much to this other than high spots, lots of tandem tag team moves. It was literally just back to back high spots, with nothing really that great to mention. That being said, this was just a stupid way to open the show, just chaos to say the least. The match ended up just being a two on one beat down of Shannon Moore for a good portion of the match, with Beer Money cheating. Shannon Moore got the quick roll up victory and that was that. This was a train wreck to say the least.

Post match, Beer Money beat up the referee. Matt Morgan came out and defended the Ref and threatened Fortune.

Mickie James started singing with a full band "Hardcore Country" and Tara ran down and the two started brawling. Yep. One of the worst segments in TNA history, seriously, one of the worst.

Douglas Williams defeated Kazarian

Douglas Williams doesn't have an amazing arsenal, but what he lacks in move set, he makes up for with his finisher. Rolling Chaos Theory is the most impressive looking suplex pinning combination in all of wrestling, and is the only reason to watch for Douglas Williams. Kaz loses again, and Doug wins. I loved it, Douglas Williams wins big, and the finisher, man, the finisher is one of the classic finishers in wrestling, even if it is a bit dangerous.

Devon came out and cut a promo, I didn't care.

Sarita defeated Angelina Love and Madison Rayne

The worst knockout match I've seen in a long time. Seriously, the worst, these girls cannot wrestle, they have the worst timing. Even the announcers hated this match, forgetting to do commentary for more than half of it. I hated this thing...wow, what a terrible terrible division.

Rhino vs Matt Morgan (no contest)

I'm not sure why this match was made. There is no explanation for the booking of this match, there is no major reason to have these two fight. Morgan was busted open at one point, and he hit the Carbon Footprint and had this thing won, but out came Immortal or Four Chan or something, I don't know.

The match was thrown out and while Fortune beat up Morgan, RVD ran down and beat up Rhino.

Robbie E defeated Jay Lethal in a fist pump showdown

SERIOUSLY, THE WORST CONCEPT EVER, THE WORST! SERIOUSLY THIS IS SO STUPID, I HATE THIS PIECE OF CRAP, FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS ALL OF THEM FIRE THEM!!!!

Jeff Jarrett & Abyss defeated The Pope & Samoa Joe via dq

This match was terrible, this match had a lot of moments that would make you hate life. The ref bump towards the end really made this thing terrible. Abyss is terrible, Pope is wasted, and the casket at the side of the ring is just plain dumb. Jarrett went under the ring and got a guitar, and Samoa Joe kicked it open and then was going to beat up Double J. The ref woke up and disqualified Samoa Joe, and that was that.

The worst night in TNA, leading up a to ppv that no one will watch. The dead crowd at the end, proved once again that this #2 company is just sad, seriously sad, I don't ever want to see this again...and yet I'll still keep reviewing it, for an audience of none. Ugh...worst TNA Impact ever. I'm sick of this bs. Oh and Kurt Angle was mysteriously in the casket to end the show and beat up Abyss and Jarrett.

TNA Impact 11/26/10 Review

I'm not a big TNA fan, but I keep reviewing it in hopes of something good happening, so here we go, another Thursday night of wrestling, another post on this old blog.

Here we go....Tna Impact.

Matt Morgan cut a promo, and Doug Williams joined too, and it was just odd...to see the two of them together on the same page.

Tommy Dreamer defeated Rhino in a street fight

This streetfight was terrible. Tommy Dreamer and Rhino put together a crap brawl, and it was "hardcore" i guess, but it wasn't all that good. Both wrestlers were completely winded, and just didn't seem to care too much, except for maybe dreamer, as he gave some lame promo about friendship. This match was bad, trust me, this match was bad.

Post match, Rhino threw Tommy Dreamer straight through a table. That prompted RVD to come down with a chair and chase Rhino away.

Highlights were shown of last week's Reaction where the Motor City Machine Guns fought Generation Me in an "empty arena" match. It was stupid.

Sarita defeated Madison Rayne

This was an impromptu wrestling match of sorts, and I wasn't sure what was going on, but Sarita wins a non title match. It was an ok affair, and the two women put on a very basic match with a roll up win.

Jeff Jarrett defeated Jesse Neal in an MMA match

This match was stupid. Jarrett hit Neal with a guitar and won the match up. This was bad, just bad, I can't say more, this was just the worst match I've seen in a long time.

Brother Ray cut a promo on Devon, it was more of the same.

Matt Morgan, The Pope, Samoa Joe, and Douglas Williams Beer Money, Kaz, and Aj Styles

This match wasn't all that great. It was an ok 8 man tag, but for the most part it was just rushed and didn't really melt well. THe match wasn't half bad towards the end, and I was finally starting to get into it. Doug Williams was nearly pinned several times during this match up, and it seems that he's the only one that can really work well with heels. Matt Morgan ended up taking on Robert Roode and Aj Styles attacking him, and guess what?

TNA IMPACT ended with the match still going, and I gave up. I don't have reaction and I don't watch it, so that was that. I don't know what happened and I don't care. If you saw Reaction that's cool, I'm not going to try and watch another show...F IT. TNA SUCKS. I can't believe they do this bs, and well, screw over the little hope of gaining fans.

TNA Impact 11/4/10 Review

The alternative wrestling program started with a recap of last week. Apparently Matt MOrgan has turned face? I don't know....we'll find out tonight.

Bischoff laid out an open challenge, we got a call from ANderson, lots of recap...EV2.0 was going nuts backstage...oh well.

Sarita defeated Velvet Sky

I think it was Velvet Sky, I don't know. Sarita won with ease, and put down a nice Sit Down Power Bomb! The best part was the finish, the rest? Not much to enjoy, another Knockouts match come and gone.

Generation ME & Tara Ink Inc & Mickie James

Mickie James' gimmick sucks. Hardcore Country? Hardcore Boring. This match had some ok back and forth action, but it wasn't all that great. Ink Inc won the match after Mickie James knocked out one of the bucks with a nice kick. Overall ok match up, but I didn't really care.

Post match the bad guys beat up the good guys...blah blah.

Double J cut a promo, and out ran Samoa Joe to beat him up. JOe beat up the security idiots, than tried to get Double J, but couldn't. I still don't know who kidnapped Samoa Joe, and I don't really care about his character.

Aj Styles defeated Rhyno and RVD

This was a slow moving, boring match. Aj Styles won eventually, but it was boring.

EV2.0 hit the ring and tried to get things back in order etc...who cares. EV2.0 is falling apart and RVD doesn't trust them.

Kaz defeated Doug Williams

I'm not sure why they had this match, it was a waste of time and boring. Kaz eventually picked up the win, but who cares. This was seriously boring. Same old bad TNA booking, short matches with no focus...ugh.

The Pope vs Abyss

AByss hit a bunch of random fans...I guess? I don't know what's going on...it's stupid. Abyss sucks. The Pope used to be good, now? He's involved with stupid matches...ugh...I'm sick of this crap. The match didn't work well and eventually just went to a no contest or dq...I don't know.

Bischoff wanted to fight Anderson, and it never happened. Bischoff beat up Jeremy Borash and that was that...Impact finished with Matt Morgan showing up instead of Anderson and taking out Bischoff. Of course "We are out of time" on impact...whatever...I hate TNA these days.

WORST IMPACT IN A LONG TIME! I'm so tired of bad wrestling from TNA...they used to be so good, now they are just WCW 2000 all over again.

Abyss vs. Kurt Angle in a steel cage match

TNA Impact 9/30/10 Review

Kurt Angle started the show talking about random crap...then we found out that Abyss will fight Angle in a cage and the two started fighting backstage. Yep, they just randomly brawled, and that's it.

Rhyno & Tommy Dreamer defeated Beer Money in a lumberjack match

This match was terrible. These four do not have charisma with each other and the match was just boring. The match had a lot of nearfalls towards the end, and pandamonium broke loose on the floor. Dreamer dodged a beer bottle to the head and hit the Dreamer Driver to win the match up. This was seriously a terrible match. It was a waste of time.

Mick Foley challenged Ric Flair.

Ric Flair beat up Foley's book...yep. I kid you not, he beat up FOley's book....I'm so bored with this crap.

Generation Me defeated Ink Inc

This match sucked. I think the guys are talented, but it just didn't strike me as that good. There were some nice spots, but nothing that great.

Post match they got chased out by The Motor City Machine Guns. They didn't appeared injured at all.

Remember the ranking system? Yeah, neither does TNA. Oh and, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE?!?!?!

Ken Anderson defeated Samoa Joe

This match was slow moving, and didn't highlight either man. Anderson eventually got the Mic Check on Joe and that was that. This match was barely passable.

The Pope, Kevin Nash and Sting are apparently friends now.

Aj Styles defeated Brian Kendrick

Not much to say about this one. Styles won. Styles looked like he took a major shot to the mouth, but Kendrick was the loser here. I'm not sure where they are going with his character, as he just keeps losing.

Abyss vs. Kurt Angle in a steel cage match

This match was in fact a cage match. It had all the trappings of a quality cage match, and it got brutal. Angle got completely bloodied and was getting the beating of his life. He was getting taken out at every corner, and Abyss took some shots, but not nearly as bad as Angle. The ref got taken out and then Anderson came down to help, but he got taken out by Abyss.

The end of the match had Abyss with both men beaten, and the ref out. I guess that means Abyss wins?

The crowd was dead quiet on this, cause no one cared for it, and I didn't. Worst cage match I've ever seen. Worst one ever...plain and simple. Worst than the Kennel from Hell match.

Tna has the worst wrestling in the world, face it. I know WWE isn't always that good, but TNA is beyond repair to me at this point. This was one of the worst shows...I'm so sick of TNA.

TNA Hardcore Justice 2010 Review

The TNA ECW ppv started with a recap of the past of extreme wrestling. It's relatively the same as the one they showed on Impact. Once again, we see if TNA could make something out of nothing.

The crowd kept saying ECW regardless of copyright.

Taz came out first!

Taz gave some lame speech..it sucked.

THE FBI defeated Kid Kash, Simon Diamond, Johnny Swinger

Most of these guys do not have their physiques. I didn't really want to watch this, and was already tired. This was a very interesting match, because it had real wrestling in it! There were a few botches, but for the most part there was a good overall pace and wrestling prowess that YOU DO NOT SEE regularly. TNA talent could learn a thing or two from these guys, even if some of them were obviously out of their prime. The match turned into a dance off....ugh...not my thing. So thsi match had some good moments, and it wasn't a complete loss, despite a little bit of ring rust. I liked it, it was entertaining, and the best six man tag I've seen in a long time.

The main event would be none other than RVD vs Sabu, since Jerry Lynn was injured.

Too Cold Scorpio defeated CW Anderson

Scorpio (Flash Funk) doesn't look like he has been kept up his workout regimen, but then again CW Anderson wasn't exactly ripped. This match was interesting, if only to showcase that these two could still work really well. I liked it, wow, I didn't think I would like it, but Scorpio is quite fast. Scorpio won with one of the most amazing moves I've ever seen! He did a Full BackFlip and hit a LEG DROP! That's right, a full flip leg drop!

Bill Alfonso was backstage with RVD.

Stevie Richards defeated Justin Credible w/ Nova & Fake Blue Meanie

Justin Credible had this match nearly won with a spinning Tombstone Piledriver, but was distracted. Other than some simple moves, this match wasn't all that great, and the crowd was dead until Stevie hit the Superkick and won this match up. I didn't like it that much, and it was a real downer until Credible hit Richards with the Singapore Cane! That was awesome for sure.

The lights went out, and guess who?

THE SANDMAN! (Taz of course ruined the surprise)

The Sandman showed up and Justin Credible tried to fight, but immediately got a Russian Leg Sweep and the caning of his life. That was that. Sandman is fat again..that's nice. I saw him in Los Angeles around 2001 and he was really skinny and looked nearly sick.

It's nice to see that Francine gaind some weight and has a kid now. Remember that one time that Francine showed her tits? I didn't see it, but RF Video had a vhs for sale, but alas...I never saw it.

Rhyno defeated Al Snow and Spike Dudley in a triple threat elimination match

Spike is slower now, and couldn't hang at a few moments in this match. Al Snow and Rhyno did a lot of the heavy lifting. Snow used Head during the match after a ref bump and Spike used a chair to try to get leverage, by throwing it at Al Snow ala Eddie Guerrero! Then Al snow pretended to be out. This match had a lot of dead spots, but eventually managed to have a good enough finish to get the crowd alive. Rhyno speared Spike and won, that was that. Not really a great match, and just a filler to me.

The Dudleys w/ Joel Gertner defeated Balls Mahoney & Axel Rotten

This match was hardcore, and nasty. There were a lot of unprotected head shots, lots of plunder, and another reason why maybe ECW wasn't all that great. There wasn't a whole lot of wrestling here, and just your average big man match with lots of weapons. It's a nice throwback, including tables and chairs and the likes, but come on, it wasn't all that great. Nice nostalgia piece at best, but it was just an ugly match. Oh and yes, they lit the table on fire and threw Balls Mahoney through it...yep.

Post match out came the Gangstas! New Jack and what I believe was Mustafa? Yep, New Jack was hitting anything that moved with stuff. I didn't care for this at all.

Raven defeated Tommy Dreamer w/ special guest referee Mick Foley

This match was terrible. It had a lot of slow points, lots of weapons. I believe LODI showed up or someone, I don't know. Some random dude hit a nice leg drop. The crowd started chanting Holy Shit at one point when Foley gave the mandible claw with barbed wire wrapped around his hand. I didn't hate it, but um...it was weird. raven handcuffed Tommy Dreamer, and thsi was a throwback to the chair shot heard round the world. This too was done by WWF with Mankind and The Rock...remember? Raven eventually won...but this match wasn't that great...I didn't like it. It was just pointless...whatever. Boring ass match. Beulah was there, that was cool.

RVD defeated SABU

Bill Alfonso at ringside

Sabu had his head shaved. RVD stalled a lot in this match to go outside and play up his older style. Maybe Sabu couldn't go that well, or maybe things were just not going well...I don't know. This match was slow moving and tired. Sabu and RVD did a nice match up for what it was, but it was painfully obvious that SABU is NOT in his prime and was having problems later in the match. A table finale after a string of extreme moves ended this one, and of course RVD goes over.

The show ended with a speech from Tommy Dreamer and a bunch of people in the ring.

Overall not the worst show ever, but it wasn't nearly as good as the ECW ppv's I actually did order back in the day. Oh well...I hope TNA made a few bucks or whatever was their plan for this, because it was an "ok" show at best.

TNA Impact 12/10/09 Review

Kevin Nash took over the show, as Foley went to “meet with Hogan”.

Kevin Nash announced what he had in mind for the night in wrestling, and you know what? It’s going to suck. Seriously, it’s ridiculous, and over the top….a shocking night of wrestling.

Meanwhile, Foley was looking for Dixie…this story line is stupid.

Chris Sabin defeated The British Invasion

This is the impossible. Chris Sabin managed to roll up a victory and it wasn’t that great at all. The Invasion had a few moments, but it was Sabin with the surprise win. This was a terrible opening match, and really unfathomable in regards to the result.

Awesome Kong & Scott Steiner defeated Bobby Lashley & Kristal Lashley

I’m not sure why they put in Lashley’s wife, as she’s not exactly trained as a wrestler, but I guess that’s just what happens in TNA…bad ideas. Lashley got worked by Scott Steiner, and this thing takes a turn for the worse. It’s sad to see things unfold like this, and It’s even sadder that TNA has to stoop to so low. Steiner pins Kristal and does push ups on her…Edge did that to Beulah at ECW One Night Stand. Way to be original tna…way to be original.

TNA does an interview with Samoa Joe and guess what? I have that shirt! Well I have 2 button down dickies black shirts, and it looked like that’s what Samoa Joe was wearing. It looked cool. Beer Money interrupted, and that wasn’t half bad. I like interrupted interviews.

Erik Young defeated Hamada in a global championship match

Hamada was not wrestling like she was some random woman, she was proving far better than Chyna ever did, that women can wrestle. She was amazing against Erik Young. Simply amazing, she was putting on a show, but it was too little as Erik Young used the ropes and a roll up to stop the momentum. I hated it. Hamada was amazing, and yet Young wins. Hamada is a gem of a wrestler by comparison folks, the divas have NOTHING on Hamada.

ODB defeated Tara in a non title trailer park throwdown

This was essentially just a hardcore match. It seemed interesting to me, that part of the stipulation was that they had to drink a six pack of beer. Sure, you didn’t see most of this on screen, but it was still part of Kevin Nash’s stipulation.

Jesse Neal, Rhino, Team 3D defeated Hernandez, Suicide, & Matt Morgan

I got distracted during this match, but I know that Jesse Neal won. I was in the middle of purchasing Simpsons Scene It on amazon for 7.99…yep. Sorry.

The Beautiful People wrestled in a mud wrestling match.

This match confused me once all the women started getting soaked in muddy water. I guess it’s interesting, but this was nothing more than a backroom bar type of match up.

The title shot was given to the highest bidder, and that bidder was none other than Desmond Wolfe! That’s right.

Aj Styles defeated Desmond Wolfe

This match was a little slow to start, but eventually it built into a good overall match up, but was derailed by interference by Christopher Daniels. The distraction allowed Aj styles to roll up, I kid you not, roll up Desmond Wolfe, making Wolfe look like a chump.

What a terrible night of wrestling folks. TNA continually makes terrible shows, and this is yet another one.

Post match, Christopher Daniels and Desmond Wolfe fought each other to commercial break.

TNA Impact 9/2/09 Review

Sting defeated Rhino

I’m not sure why these two started the show, but they sure did, Sting must not be as big as he used to be. Sting started this match fresh and fast, he even got the Scorpion Death Lock early on. The first thing I noticed was don West is out and that’s rad. Oh and this match had a of rest holds. Sting hit his Scorpion Death Lock and won the match, I think…Rhino beat up Sting after the match.

Aj Styles defeated Chris Sabin

Not sure why Styles was in the second match, it seemed boring to me. Sabin sucks, that’s for sure. Styles literally outmatched Sabin at every turn, and just had his way with the tag team specialist. At least for the most part, there was definitely an interesting situation of sorts. Sabin should get credit though, he kept kicking out of a lot of the offense Styles kept throwing at him, it was an interesting bout to say the least. It’s an interesting overall match, but nothing to write home about. Styles is quite good, even if he’s only the second match.

Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels talked about their upcoming match, it was boring to me, and to you probably too.

Doug Williams defeated Suicide

Overall, this match didn’t do a whole lot for me. Sure Suicide was fast at times, but it was Doug Williams that seemed to have his timing down. Suicide kept things fresh, but overall, Williams had his number in the realms of harder offense. Suicide turned things around for a second or two, but I never thought he had a shot, even after a nice spring board dropkick. Putting moves together, into a string, was ok, but overall I think Suicide is a lame guy. The Black Pope came down to ringside and dropped him, Suicide then tried to get back into the ring, but ran right into Williams for a rolling German Suplex and pin. Impressive end, that’s for sure. That ending made the match, wow, I haven’t seen such a nice set up in a long time.

Christy Hemme & Tara defeated Sojo Bolt & Hamada

Christy Hemme has such a huge forehead, it’s hilarious to me. Hamada, I assumed would be better, however she was sloppy against Tara. Tara as well seemed slow and winded for once, and I wasn’t sure what was wrong with her in this match. Hemme was doing some ok offense, but overall didn’t really put much effort into this match. Sojo Bolt seemed poised to make a better match than anyone else, because Hamada, Tara, and Hemme were not doing so well in the timing department. After the commercial break Tara and Hemme got their act together, but man, this match was so sloppy. Tara hit the Widow’s Peak and this match was over…finally.

Hernandez defeated Homicide

These two, former tag team partners, fought each other straight up. TNA took a page out of the WWE tag team division here, putting former team mates up against one another, breaking up the team in the process. Overall, it was Hernandez that was putting the boots to Homicide, with power moves over Homicide’s quickness. While Homicide hit a lot of good momentary offensive moves, it was Hernandez that delivered the pinfall victory after a great slam. Not a bad match, but not necessarily a good one either.

Aj Styles defeated Doug Williams

Williams can’t talk on the mic, that’s for sure. Doug Williams had this match well in tow, and Aj Styles was getting punished for sure. Williams went from big power moves to rest holds, forcing Styles to really try to get his bearings back into this match up. Williams was one step ahead of Styles for a good portion of this match up, until Aj started to make a comeback, creating a bit of fan fare. Aj Styles won the match, and this match was a bit boring to me.

Sting defeated Hernandez via dq

Sting was getting worked by Hernandez, easily handing Sting a beating, and creating a good overall match, early on; not a bad way to end the show. However, the match really got weird when Homicide attacked Sting on the outside. This interference cost the big man the match.

It wasn’t Homicide, it was Erik Young all along! Then we went to another commercial.

The end of the show sucked. It was basically another WCW Nitro ending. The World Elite, and others ended up in a beat down, that’s about it. It was a melee and that was the end of the show. TNA sucks.

ODB & Tara defeated Awesome Kong & Angelina Love
Scott Steiner defeated Brother Ray in a no dq match
Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles

TNA Impact 8/13/09 Review

We opened up with a match right away, which could spell disaster, since it was a knockouts match.

Chrsty Hemme defeated Sojourner Bolt

This match was awkward, Hemme was making her return to the ring after a long absence, and she showed some Ring Rust during this match up. Bolt was definitely in control overall, and she was wild in ring, looking sloppy in regards to her execution of her moves. The worst though, was a botched back body drop that had Bolt land on her neck! It looked horrible, and it was obvious that she was loopy afterwards. Christ Hemme won with a Fire Crotch Guillotine for the three count. This was one of the sloppiest women’s match I’ve ever seen.

Hernandez defeated Doug Williams

Hernandez one again was trying to prove that he was a solid single’s wrester, much like many other former tag team specialists. He was in full control early on, hitting some major high spots, and heavy hitting moves. The best of course was his delayed vertical suplex, which had Williams down and out. Williams came back for a few moments, but it wasn’t long, as Super Mex hit the sit out Powerbomb and won the match.

Post match the British Invasion attacked, and Hernandez was in control until Big Rob hit him in the face with a steel brief case.

Erik Young & Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Jesse Neil & Rhino

TNA is notorious for making matches that make no sense, and are in no way indicative of a further plot point or storyline. That’s ok, if the matches are great, as WWF did in the old days. These mash up tag matches with guys that aren’t on tv often, is NOT something that I’m a fan of. When’s the last time we saw Jesse Neil and Rhino? Seriously, we haven’t seen these two in so long, that at this point I don’t care about them, and they perform like jobbers. With that said, Erik Young and Bashir were putting the boots to Neil and were in full control for the majority of the match. In fact, Rhino was never tagged into this match, and lost the match for his team. Neil is NOT advancing, much like Maven in WWE. This match sucked. I guess Rhino and Neil might split sooner than later. Especially since Rhino gored Neil.
ODB & Tara defeated Awesome Kong & Angelina Love

This match wasn’t that ood opening up, but then the heat got turned on. ODB and Tara went to the top rope, and this spelled disaster. ODB jumped off and was caught by Awesome Kong and others. Tara leaped of thee to top and The Beautiful People didn’t catch her as she landed, and I kid you not, Head first into the concrete floor! Tara was clutching her head as we went to commercial break, and it looked terrible. I’m not sure if she’s going to be ok or not, but she really took a hit to the floor, face first off the top rope! Cody Deaner at one point was ready to punch Awesome Kong, but instead he kissed Awesome Kong! Kong then brought him into the ring and received The Awesome Bomb! Immediately afterwards, Tara rolled up Awesome Kong and won this match for her team. This match was boring, but Tara’s fall was great.

Scott Steiner defeated Brother Ray in a no dq match

These two put on an ok match up. Steiner is still carrying too much weight, and it showed as the match went on. He opened up fast, trying really hard to bump, but as ray put on some heavier offense, he started to slow down and it was obvious he was being out wrestled by what seems like a “fatter” man. Booker T and Brother Devon got involved, then the British Invasion ran down to distract Team 3D and that’s when Steiner threw Brother Ray through a table and pinned him for the win. This match was terrible, but not the worst I’ve seen ever.

Mick Foley and Kevin Nash had a contract signing, and I was waiting for this thin to turn south, it never happened. Foley and Nash had the most boring contract signing ever, with neither man fighting the other or breaking the table. The whole purpose of this signing was to waste my time. Thanks TNA, for ruining things for me, You guys are really a joke at this point.

Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles

I’ve already seen this match twice, and each time it wasn’t half bad. This one though? This match just seemed forced at times, with Aj purposely giving a half step to Matt Morgan. Was he saving energy? I’m not sure, but Aj Styles spent most of this match getting worked over by Matt Morgan, and Morgan for once looked completely dominant. No longer is he the stuttering giant from WWE, he was pummeling Styles with heavy moves, including a picture perfect fallaway slam, which brought forth shades of Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon! Morgan made a mistake, and Styles capitalized. Morgan even tried to go to the top rope, but was fought tooth and nail by Styles. Morgan got hit with a huge Pele, and fell off the middle rope, which was actually a cool move, but Styles could not win. After a springboard went awry, Styles got nailed in the face with the Carbon Footprint and pinned Styles! Morgan will go on to face Angle and Sting in the title match.

Post match, The Main Event Mafia came down to celebrate.

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 Genesis 2009 ppv Results and Review

Here we go folks, the first ppv for the TNA wrestling brand, and it should be a slobber knocker right? Who knows…one thing is for sure, it’s been brewing for a while, this one.

Lax & Eric Young defeated Sonjay Dutt, Jimmy Rave, and Tanahashi

*note, my sound was messed up and TNA didn’t put up the names of those involved in this opening match, so I had to just guess what was going on.

The match started fast paced, and stayed that way overall. The guys in this match are all veterans of the x-division and tag team openers on ppv. Homicide looked great and with Hernandez, just looked so crisp overall, they re so great as a team, I can’t imagine them not being a team forever. Things change though, we’ll see how it all pans out. The first half of the match was all LAX those dudes had this match in complete control. Eric Young once again looks so good, I can’t believe they wasted him in the prince justice brotherhood for so long. This match was mostly x-division style. If you’re a fan of high spot matches, you’d enjoy this match greatly, it was mostly high spots and fast paced action. Midway through the match up I realized that this was an elimination style tag team match. Thanks Comcast for the sound sucking on the ppv. The ending of this match was basically all Hernandez, as he put away three guys in a row.

Alex Shelley defeated Chris Sabin

This match opened up with a stalemate, with each skater reversing the others slow motion tests of strength. Then things started to open up, as is the case with all x-division match ups. Sabin looked stronger to me in this match up, Shelley seemed to be desperate to keep up, but that caused mistakes and things were just one sided mid match up. Then it really opened up and things were just changing. Alex Shelley was my early on favorite in this match up, but it seemed that Sabin was getting little comebacks left and right. I thought for sure Alex Shelley was going to win with a picture perfect frog splash, but sabin fought back and was hitting some major power moves to get closer and closer to winning this match up. Alex Shelley managed to pick up the win on this match, and somewhat surprising to Sabin, and is the NEW x-division champion! Shelley played injured, then rolled up Sabin for the win. They hugged afterwards, showing no major hurt feelings.

Shane Sewell defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir

This match up was brewing for a long time, and it’s about tiem we got this thing to happen. Sheik has to be one of the most hated wrestlers in professional wrestling today. Shane started this match like a man possessed, immediately fighting Bashir tooth and nail, not letting any rest happen in this match. Bashir was getting worked over like a jobber early on. It’s actually exciting to see a match of this capacity, due to the build up that was created from the weeks of set up. Sheik Bashir had a few moments of action, and was looking to be set to win this one, but Shane kept turning things around and it just looked like he was headed for an easy win. The crowd was getting behind him too, and this could be the birth of an all new good professional wrestling talent for a change! As soon as the figure four leg lock was applied, the crowd went crazy with whole sections going, “Wooo!”. Bashir got out and then started to punish the former ref within near disqualification realms. At this point Bashir got frustrated with Earl Hebner, shoved him, and Hebner swung at Bashir! The chase was on, and Shane got back in with a surprise sunset flip for the pinfall victory! The referees came out to ringside and won this match, that’s right, Shane defeats Sheik Abdul Bashir!

Beer Money Inc. defeated Matt Morgan & Abyss and Jay Lethal & Consequences Creed

Due to the impact match, this three way dance was for the TNA tag team titles, and why not? A very exciting match up we had here, but it was slow to move forward. As the match progressed, each team kept trying to one up one another and score the pinfall, but then Abyss came in and just killed! Ok, maybe not kill, but him and Matt Morgan really proved to be the guys to watch in this match. Beer Money though, proved that hey are the best team a they were really trying to stay focused and prove their thing. Matt Morgan was starting to look weak, s Beer Money finally was getting owned. Abyss grabbed one of the belts, and then accidentally knocked out Matt Morgan! Robert Roode has this thing sewn up, but then Machismo hit the big elbow, before getting a super kick to the face! Robert Roode once again rolled over onto Matt Morgan and scored the victory! That’s right, Beer Money inc win again!

Post match, Matt Morgan seemed really frustrated with Abyss and really swerved the crowd. Ok, we saw it coming, but still. Matt Morgan got really mad at Abyss and started yelling at him. The camera cut to backstage, and that was that.

ODB, Roxxi, and Taylor Wilde defeated Raisha Saeed, Rhaka Khan, and Sojourner Bolt

This six man tag might have been a replacement for the women’s title match, or just another match on the card. I’m not sure. I didn’t really hear what was going on as my sound kept cutting out. I love the knockouts of tna, they prove time and time again that they are the best thing going as far as female professional wrestling. Forget the wwe divas, they suck compared to this. Awesome kong’s team lost this one. It prompted Awesome Kong to come out and push ODB the fight was on! The rest of the matches participants started fighting, and Kong stood over Odb before delivering a huge choke slam!

Kurt Angle defeated Jeff Jarrett

I haven’t seen a match with this much force in a long time. Not since probably an old Bret Hart, Mr Perfect match up. Jarrett came in ther working stiff and Angle was meeting him right there. Jarrett hasn’t looked this great in years. Seriously, he was out there like a house of fire, it was awesome. Kurt Angle took a nasty spill outside and then Jarrett followed him by nearly beheading himself on the floor outside, as dove over the top! Seriously, it looked scary, and he just face planted the floor. Kurt Angle looked to be too far away to catch him. Jeff Jarrett was busted open, and Angle pounced yet again! There was another nasty spot as Kurt Angle dropped Jarrett through a table off the TNA Genesis stage, and it looked sick, seriously, this looked so sick. I thought Jarrett was broken in half, as the table slipped on the floor and broke in half, but it just looked sick. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. This match was getting really good, and double J introduced the guitar! Angle managed to avoid the initial set up of the guitar and looked to be the aggressor at this point. Angle nearly behead Jarrett with a steel chair, then planted him back into near submission with the Ankle Lock submission! This thing looked to be over as Double J was in serious looking pain, and right in the center of the ring! Double J escaped, and managed to reverse the Angle slam into a ddt, then when for the guitar, but cut the neck off, only to reach for the Steel Chair that Angle used previously. Double J hit Angle square in the face with the steel chair and I thought for sure this thing was over. Kurt Angle was covered, but rolled Jarrett into a pinning situation, and this thing looked to be in his favor as it stunned Double J long enough to lose this match up. That’s right, Kurt Angle defeats Jeff Jarrett with a surprise roll up from a pinning position. A lateral press into a pin and it was all over.

Post match up, Kurt Angle beat up Double J and then stomped his ankle into a steel chair. Things looked bad, and then he left the ring.

Sting defeated Rhino

The whole night they have been saying that Rhino was missing and that no one could find him. So when things went downhill and he showed up bleeding and hurt, I wasn’t surprised at all. This match was a standard methodical Sting match. Rhino did get in some great offense up front, but he was no match for sting, as he easily wins this one. Someone give Sting some competition, because this is just not that great for me. Sorry.

Kevin Nash was not in our main event. So the Main Event Mafia gets a new person to come in and that person is Kip James!

Brother Devon, Aj Styles, and Mick Foley defeated Booker T, Kip James and Scott Steiner

What can I say? These six man tag matches aren’t that great to me. I don’t like them all that much because it seems like I’ve already seen every single combination of tag team turmoil that I can possibly see in these modern times. This was a normal tag match, then it got really bad, and Jim Cornette declared it a HARDCORE match. That’s right, texas tornado no rules match and things go nuts. Foley goes through a table Aj goes through a table, socko comes into play right into Booker T’s mouth. A trash can shot happens somewhere in here, and THE PLUNDER ALERT siren is going off, as Foley gets his butt kicked by the mafia. Mick Foley gets the pinfall here, and it was lame. FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!

Overall an Ok ppv. I didn’t expect too much from TNA. They aren’t known for their super cards at all. This isn’t going to top the Royal Rumble this year, but I think that it’s going to be better, personally. The best match here for me was the referee killing the Sheik, and of course the knockouts, wow, good stuff yet again from the women of TNA. If you missed this one, you didn’t miss much, in my humble opinion.

TNA Impact 12/25/08 Results and Review Christmas Edition

I can’t believe TNA Impact ran a show on Christmas. This might be the worst move that TNA has done in a long time, but whatever, here is a review and results for TNA’S Christmas Day show.

Chris Sabin defeated Kiyoshi

This match was ok at best, Sabin pulled out quite the victory over Kiyoshi, who reminds me a lot of the Great Muta. This match was not as good as the debut we saw last week, but Sabin held his own and won the match with the Cradleshock.

Post match Shane the ref was getting punked out by Sheik Abdul Bashir, only to prompt Suicide to come down into the ring and change things up.

Eric Young vs. Alex Shelley

It was an hour into the show when this second match started. This match began in the backstage area where Shelley was talking smack about Eric Young and the two ended up fighting into the ring, and I’m not sure what happened. I guess this wasn’t the match? It was just a brawl for no reason? That means that TNA only had one match in 1 hour! What a piece of crap wrestling show, this is the worst thing that could ever happen in regards to wrestling, what a piece of trash. This made me mad.

Booker T & Scott Steiner vs. Aj Styles & Brother Devon (no contest)

This match started at around 10:05 according to my clock and I was getting fed up with tna altogether. I wasn’t interested in this match up at all, but I always enjoy Aj Styles, so I gave it a chance. This match was dominated by the frontline, each one giving some tough shots to Steiner. Steiner however did have some excellent suplexes, but overall this match started out one sided and eventually evened out with the main event mafia taking over midway. After the commercial break the announce team informs us that this match is now a no contest because the four men have now spilled to outside the ring and into the crowd and parking lot! This broke out into a huge brawl back into the ring, and even prompted Mick Foley to come out and get physically involved! That’s right, Foley was in there and out came Socko! That’s right, Foley was out there beating the hell out of the main event mafia, insane indeed.

ODB, Roxxy, Christy Hemme, and Taylor Wilde defeated Raisha Saeed, Sojourner Bolt, Awesome Kong, and Rhaka Khan

The women of tna dressed in their most festive outfits fought each other in a tag team match up that featured all the women in the ring at the same time. This match really lost control fast and the ref had a hard time controlling the action, but it was alright, because the hard camera stayed in position and you saw the better parts of this match up. Eventually things spilled out to the outside of the ring and there was a great high spot from Taylor Wilde, creating an awesome reaction and great position for the knockouts to prove yet again that they are ten times better than the wwe divas! The match came down to Taylor Wilde scoring the pin for her team and once again proving that the TNA knockouts are 100 billion times better than anything that wwe is doing right now with their women’s division.

Kurt Angle vs. Rhino (No Contest)

This was a rematch from the ppv, which makes me want to never ever get another TNA ppv in my lifetime. Seriously, how many times are wrestling companies going to give us these matches free, after the fact? This is stupid. Anyways, this match up was standard to say the least. Angle really was lazy out there, focusing more on trying to antagonize Jeff Jarrett, whom was out at ringside, including spitting in his face! Kurt Angle was trying to draw as much heat as he could, meanwhile Rhino was chasing the former champ to try and get this match over with. If you’ve seen one Kurt Angle match you’ve seen them all, as this match really didn’t poise a lot of new combat for either wrestler involved. This match was interesting to me on many levels, but mostly because I had nothing better to do on my Christmas night, as I had to work in the morning and it doesn’t matter to me if I’m tired the next day. Kurt Angle got the ankle lock submission late in the match, in the middle of the ring, and things looked bad but Angle was sent to the floor right by Double J, and this caused Angle to slap Jeff Jarrett!

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

Tna Impact 12/18/08 Review and Results Main Event Massacre

TNA Impact was once again mediocre, but it had some shining spots, especially with some new blood coming in from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Rhino defeated Lance Rock

There was no possible way that Lance Rock was going to beat Rhino. Rhino basically took a few shots from Lance Rock then gored him for the easy win. I hate these jobber style matches, it just shows that the TNA writers are lazy.

Chris Sabin defeated Sonjay Dutt

Overall another ok match up. Sonjay was in a lot of control over this match up and Sabin looked really weak, however there was a Sabin comeback towards the end of this match which made the fans start to cheer a little and things were looking great for him. The match went back to Dutt’s favor as he countered a flurry of offense from Sabin, but Sabin managed to turn things around and deliver the Cradle Shock, to move forward in the x-division tournament.

Booker T & Scott Steiner defeated Abyss and Matt Morgan

I’m tired of seeing Morgan and Abyss together. These two idiots are terrible, and they are so slow in there. Tie in a very slow Scott Steiner and we have a boredom movement of epic proportions. This match up was ok at best, Morgan pulled most of the weight early on and Abyss came in to mix things up. The match of course went to plunder with Booker T running in with a lead pipe, knocking out Morgan and then getting the victory after a scissor’s kick. This is ridiculous, Abyss sucks, expect a Matt Morgan heel turn on Abyss sooner than later.

Kiyoshi defeated Consequences Creed

Kiyoshi put on a clinic, from New Japan, he came out and put Creed through the ringer, and really impressed me completely. He really reminded me of The Great Muta as he was pushing through some great moves out there, and with an impressive debut he defeated Creed and moved on in the x-division tournament.

Christy Hemme & ODB defeated Raisha Saeed & Raka Khan

Apparently this was some sort of street fight or something, I wasn’t paying attention. Christy Hemme got the pin with a one legged fire crotch guillotine, and it was over. It was a fast, jobber style match. No plunder was introduced and that was that. A boring knockouts match, I never thought I’d say that.

Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Sting & Kevin Nash

A tag team steel cage match! This is awesome! These guys really put on a show, but it was too short, and it was lame. I wanted this match to last a lot longer and have more blood, but it was relatively slow and easy for the good guys.
The post match effort was good, but overall this match blew chunk. Can I say that? I guess.

TNA Impact 11/13/08 Christian Gets Made

Here we go TNA starts again with Foley and Jarrett backstage…and then we get that mid 90’s Raw intro. It’s pretty lame. Didn’t hip hop hardcore go down a long time ago? I feel cheated somehow. I still hate the six sided ring. Seriously, go back to the regular ring already! Oh well.

Rhaka Khan and Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi and Taylor Wilde

This apparently was a rematch of sorts from the ppv, and the match was similar in scope. It was the TNA’s way of switching it up a little with Khan in there trying to mix it up with Wilde and Roxxi. This was a pretty cool match and once again the women are just great in the ring. I love these women, as they put on a great show every week, and they are more than just pretty faces, they can actually wrestle! I’m always impressed by the TNA knockouts. Awesome Kong dropped Roxxi yet again with the implant buster and it was over.

Eric Young defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir

This x-division title match caught me by surprise. Eric Young was no longer that nervous guy that came out and wrestled every now and again, now he’s in there confident as ever. Bashir is ok, but he seems a little slow at times. Young was grounded for a good portion of this match. Bashir eventually delivers a low blow and pushes the referee! The ref snaps and attacks Bashir! Eric Young then capitalizes by winning the the x-division title! That’s right, Eric Young, despite getting in very little offense in this match wins the x-division title!

Scott Steiner defeated Rhino

Rhino dominated this match up, and Steiner was slow out there. He has lost a little weight though. He defeats Rhino after interference from Kurt Angle, and this match was a quick one and just lame to me. It was your average Scott Steiner suck fest.

Sting defeated Jay Lethal

I never liked when the world champion would wrestle the undercard, or the lower card. It just seemed like the company was thinking that I’m a stupid fan. There’s no way Jay Lethal was going to defeat Sting. There was just no way, and he didn’t. The thing that surprised me about this match was the amount of punishment Sting took in this match. Jay Lethal was dishing out all his moves, and Sting was always coming back. After some interference, Sting won this match up. The Motor City Machine Guns inadvertently cost Jay Lethal the match up!

Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Beer Money via DQ

Samoa Joe and Aj were dishing out a lot of punishment in the early parts of this match and they were looking good together, as if they were team mates for a long time. Team 3D came down to ringside and Beer Money turns things around and look strong. This is how you do tag team wrestling, finally someone in professional wrestling does it right. This match was actually good, and it brought me back to the good ol’ days of real tag teams that don’t split up after a few matches to fight each other. This match was good, and we saw some good back and forth action from both sides. Team 3D interferes and causes the disqualification and takes out Beer Money!

Christian gets beat up at the end of the show for wanting to go to WWE. He gets torn up, seriously torn up. Dang.

TNA Turning Point 08 Results and Review

Here we go, my first TNA ppv in a LONG time! I was expecting a lot!

The intro to the ppv is just a recap of the last few weeks of TNA and mainly shows footage of the Main Event Mafia beating everyone up, mixed in with them talking about random crap. The show starts with JB in the back watching the arrival of the Main Event Mafia.

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, I hate the six sided ring. I wish that TNA would revert back to the 4 sided regular wrestling ring.

Eric Young defeated Consequences Creed, Sonjay “Guru” Dutt w/ So Cal Val, Big Petey Pump, Jimmy Rave, Volador, Doug Williams, Tanahashi, Homicide, and Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal

This huge match up was like a tag team match up with no one on any teams. They just featured all these guys waiting on the Apron and running in at random, and just wrestling. It was a weird gimmick, and it was just high spot fever. I liked the flow of this match, as it didn’t take much to watch this, and it was wildly popular with the fans who were into each major spot. So there’s no real psychology to this match up, it’s just random run ins and power moves to outside moves over the top rope, through the ropes and the likes. I liked it, and it was a good opening match, even if I didn’t really understand the point of jumbling all the x-division together. The winner gets a shot at the title and they reshuffle the ranks for the x-division. Doug Williams is an odd one in this match up, and reminded me of mid-90’s wwe tag team wrestling. I loved Volador in this match as he was not conforming to the TNA style but more over he was keeping his Lucha Libre style in tact and the TNA wrestlers were making adjustments to him, not the other way around. He was a highlight of this match up.

The weird thing about this match is that when someone would go for a pin, NO ONE would jump in to stop it. This didn’t make sense to me at all, and really took away from what could’ve been a really frenetic paced match up. Instead it just made me think that everyone knew the winner, and that my friends is NOT what I like about wrestling. I know they know, but they need to convince me that they don’t.

Volador was in this match for a good long time, and he put on a clinic of styles, he was amazing. This guy should be the x-division champion. He’s stellar, give that guy the belt, he is amazing! This match was elimination style, and the best elimination came from Doug Williams. He rolled up rave right into a release German suplex which was amazing! Kid’s got game, that’s for sure. The rest of the match was confusing to me, as people flying all over the place, and people looked legitimately hurt. Then there were a rapid fire amount of eliminations and after the dust settled it left Jay Lethal and Eric Young to determine the winner. These two really put on a show full of near falls and high risk maneuvers. Great back and forth action here and I was really into it for once in my life, and I couldn’t help but think about “Super Eric” but whatever, these two are great together. This match went through quite the moves and in the end Eric Young won the match up and becomes the number 1 contender to the x-division title. Overall a good match up, with a lot of great moments, and while I don’t usually like the TNA openers, this one was a good 20 minutes in length and really done well. Great opener for the ppv event, but I can’t help but wonder where the rest of the Prince Justice League is going within the ranks of TNA.

Roxxi & Taylor Wilde defeated Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed

A nice paced women’s match up here, with Wilde and Roxxi taking control early on, but that was short lived. I’m completely thrilled that there are still people out there that give women these types of roles, because they are so much more than just “Barbie” dolls. If you allow women to wrestle they can put on matches just as good as any man. This match proved it yet again. Forget the wwe divas, they suck, these women are dropping elbows, executing picture perfect suplex’s and so much more! This match wasn’t a technical classic, but it was good. I love the TNA knockouts, they are so good, the best women’s wrestling you’re going to see, I guarantee it! Even if there were some stupid misses and obvious mistakes, I still went along with it. This match was good, and even after Taylor Wilde scored the pin on Raisha Saeed with a bridged suplex pin, this thing had me cheering; the knockouts are great wrestlers in their own right.

Rhino defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir

This is a waste of time for me. Why would the X-Division champion not defend his title on a ppv? I know this is a grudge match, but I never got behind it and I think it’s a stupid thing to waste this match up. The champion should defend the title whenever he’s wrestling on pay per view, rather than just wrestling with some grudge angle that no one cares about! Bashir was actually doing well in this match up, and Rhino didn’t look as intimidating as he usually does. The ref of course is that one dude that has been fighting bashir in times past. Rhino looked to be on the verge of victory but Bashir turned things around but it wasn’t until he pushed the ref that Rhino got the victory! Rhino gored Bashir, pinned him and walked out. That’s it. NO major altercations, no major post match celebration, it was just over. Done with.

Beer Money Inc defeated The Motor City Machine Guns

There was no way the Machine Guns were going to win this one, that’s what I thought at the beginning of this match up. Those two just seem to never get over that well. This was definitely the turning point for The Machine Guns as they have been trying to prove themselves for several weeks. This was a good back and forth match with The Machine Guns looking very good against the veteran tag team, and the crowd was behind them this time around. The action was solid, and both teams really worked well, and pushed as much out of each other as possible. There were some spots that didn’t make sense at all, and I’m not sure if they were just messing up, or they legitimately were too tired to execute the move. This match broke out into a melee later in the match up, and the ref wasn’t letting it go back to one on one action at all. Then Jacqueline jumped in, and interfered only to get slammed to the mat, and of course here came Beer Money with their usual antics, including beer in the face, and finally the pinfall win over the Machine guns to once again successfully defend their titles. A good match a terrible ending, but great match overall. I just didn’t like that stupid ending, no one ever gets a clean pinfall in tna, when a belt is on the line.

Booker T. defeated Christian Cage

I don’t see the purpose of a legends title, maybe a television title, but a legends title? No thanks. I like Booker T and all, but come on, this is a stupid way to put himself over. These two are on the top of their games, and it was nice to see a well rounded wrestling match up for a change. I personally thought that Booker looked really strong in the early moments of this match up. He was reversing all the offense that Christian was trying and was making everything look really good, I couldn’t believe how much Booker managed to get in without Christian coming back. Booker was looking, for once, as the better man. Christian got some great offense in towards the end, but it was Booker with a great roll up who succeeded in winning this match with minimal interference, and retains his belt! Not only that, Christian must now join the main event mafia! That’s right, Booker T wins!

Kurt Angle defeated Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

Kurt Angle seemed out of his element in this match up. So much so that he was completely dominating Kurt Angle for the most part of this match up. That is until things spilled outside of the ring, as this was a falls count anywhere match up. This wasn’t initially going well for Angle, and Abyss was really putting the boots to Angle, even in the crowd! But of course the Olympic Gold Medalist would come back. Impressively too, as Kurt Angle launched himself off the top of the stage and delivered one heck of a move on Abyss. Full front flip off the stage onto Abyss, that was insane! Seriously, Angle made a HUGE impact with this one move, but it wasn’t’ enough to put away Abyss, and the big man once again got control. The match kept going until Kurt Angle dropped Abyss onto a table from a platform and it was all over. Yep, that’s it, nothing crazy, just a small table bump and that’s it. Kurt Angle wins. Lame.

Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe

This match wasn’t so bad, I thought it was going to suck bad. But instead, this match up was quite good, and Samoa Joe carried more than his weight in this match up. Kevin Nash opened up a turnbuckle and most likely was looking to use it against Joe, later in the match up. Nash was never a technical giant at wrestling, but he could throwdown every now and again and in this match he really complimented Joe’s onslaught of attack! I actually was getting into this one, and I was surprised. Joe got busted open, and that wasn’t necessary, but Nash kept ramming his head into the exposed turnbuckle side of the ring. Joe looked really messed up. Nash dropped Joe on the back of his head with the jackknife power bomb for a very close 2 count, and then Joe locked on an arm lock but after a ref bump, Nash rolled up Samoa Joe and used the ropes for leverage and won this one. That’s right, Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe! That’s right, the Main Event Mafia was on a winning roll!

Sting defeated AJ Styles

The main event match was definitely interesting since the rest of the Main Event Mafia was on a great roll and if Sting lost, it would sour the evening for sure. AJ was the aggressor in this match up and Sting looked winded early on. I wasn’t sure if AJ was going to win this one as Sting was taking his time on the outside and taking breaks early on. Sting took the action onto the outside and was slowing the pace down completely and that was a dumb movie because this match didn’t start until around 7:35 pm and they were short on time, from my vantage point. Sting really kept things slow with a series of wear down holds including the Abdominal stretch, head locks, and other moves right out of the early 90’s wrestling scene. Aj took advantage of the match pace with some great suplex’s and running combinations, and the crowd was back into this one, until he missed a spear and Sting once again took control! Sting looked to have this sewn up when he went to the top rope, but Aj moved out of the way and started to lay into Sting with reckless abandon! Aj looked ready to win this one when Booker T and Kurt Angle came in and Sting rolled up Aj for the quick win! That’s right, Sting won this match with a roll up! I kid you not, what a piece of crap finish…a roll up!

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 Impact Results and Review 8/21/2008 AJ Medals

Kurt Angle Segment:

Kurt Angle shows up and says he knows who’s behind the guitars showing up, and that we are in planet Angle!

Hernandez defeated Robert Roode

Hernandez and Roode put on a good match. Hernandez does a lot of power moves, and Roode just gets beat down for the majority of this match. This match is not half bad considering these two are bigger guys. Lots of near falls to carry the match to a good high point, the fans were definitely behind LAX in this one. Jackie came in but Salinas went after her, but Hernandez didn’t miss a beat. Storm came out and ended up distracting Roode, Hernandez then dropped Roode for the win.

AJ Styles Segment:

Aj Styles challenges Kurt Angle in a Ladder Match for the Gold Medal! Aj isn’t all that good on the mic, but it’s not a train wreck, that’s for sure.

Eric Young & Bg James defeated The Motor City Machine Guns

The Motor City Machine Guns must be the jobber tag team of TNA, because I have yet to see them win a match! They never win! They are an established tag team and they lose to a couple of guys that were teaming up for the first time ever! This is bad booking, no matter how you slice it, it’s just a stupid thing to do. The match was relatively good, and better than I had previously anticipated. I didn’t know it was going to go down this way, and the match had a lot of back and forth action between the two teams. It wasn’t a technical classic, but it was worth checking out, the two teams did a great job getting in offense and there were a few near falls and definitely showed some great action, however it was all over with Eric Young picking up the pin.

Post match, The Machine Guns act like sore losers, and hopefully they turn heel enough to win a match.

Kurt Angle Booker T Segment:

Booker forces Angle and JB to take off their shoes, and to show him some respect. Booker talks in a weird accent. Angle asks for Booker to be on his side to watch out for the guitar shows up. Booker then asks for Angle’s help to protect him against Rhino later on in the night.

This segment was boring. Booker T is acting like King Booker, only it’s not working as well. I don’t know if like the whole Royal T angle, it just doesn’t seem the same as before. Maybe if there was a comedic element to it, or if someone could play off his lack of being British or anything. I don’t know. It just doesn’t fit for me.

Karen’s Angle Segment:

This is stupid. I hate this segment. So Cal Val has to decide between Jay and Sonjay, and Sonjay shows up. He asks Val to pick him, and Jay shows up to beat down Sonjay, and then there’s a lot of screaming. Jay accidentally knocks out Val, and we get screams! The announcers say that she suffered a concussion and facial bruising. I want my time back this is stupid.

Rough Cut Consequences Creed:

I don’t want to hear this, Creed is good, but he’s NOT a superstar just yet! I’m tired.

Matt Morgan defeated Jobber Capone

This is was stupid. Matt Morgan is jacking everyone’s moves! Seriously, he’s doing Undertaker’s moves, he’s doing Albert’s Bicycle kick, and he’s trying to act like Goldberg at the same time. This is stupid, Matt Morgan sucks, Matt Morgan’s finishing move looked really weak. This is just a stupid squash match and Morgan looks just is horrible.

Post match Bubba Ray comes out and takes major shots at Matt Morgan. Bubba Ray challenges Morgan, and Devon comes out and beats down Morgan. He’s not so tough when Team 3-D comes out is he? Abyss comes out for the save, and takes out Team 3-D. I’m sure this will set up a tag team match up where Abyss and Matt Morgan will somehow be the best tag team ever. Too bad I don’t give a crap.

A bunch of interviews happened, and I wasn’t paying attention. I was going for another Rolling Rock, and well, missed some people yelling. So I’m just not going to talk about every segment, I’m too tired, and TNA is throwing too much talking at me. So I just missed some random segments that had nothing to do with anything.

Booker T defeated Rhino

Booker T beat Rhino, which is no surprise at all. Booker really looks solid, and I’m honestly surprised that WWE would let such a talent go. He’s so good. I haven’t seen this Booker T since WCW and his Chris Benoit best of 7 series that was going on. He’s good, and he should get more of a shot at the main events in TNA, and he will. We’ll most likely see Booker T as champion facing Double J sooner than later.

Consequences Creed defeated Petey Williams via DQ

Consequences Creed is one of my favorite new guys, granted he’s not well established in TNA just yet, but he’s impressive for a rookie. This is his second shot at the x-division title and he puts up a great shot against Petey Williams. I don’t like the whole “Big Petey Pump” angle that Williams is doing, because Scott Steiner really hasn’t been relevant in nearly a decade. He just looks like Steiner, not necessarily the move sets. Creed looks like he’s on his way to winning this one, but Shiek Bashir comes out to interfere with the match up. Creed’s flip dive is amazing, you have to see this, full front flip over the top rope with no assistance and onto his feet with ease! Creed looks to be on his way to winning this match up, reversing most of Petey William’s move set. Sheik Bashir jumps in to save Wiliiams and he takes out Creed. He just goes nuts, but Creed gets his composure and rolls out of the ring.

Post Match Petey Williams and Sheik yell at each other.

Awesome Kong defeated Gail Kim in a Street Fight

Everyone was saying that this was Gail Kim’s last match in TNA. If this is her last match, then she really let it all out, because this street fight was awesome. I’m so glad that TNA is allowing the women’s division to get matches like this. I really somehow cared about this match up, as it wasn’t just some random tag match with no name divas like the WWE does on a weekly basis. This was awesome, and these two put themselves into some dangerous positions. The fight went into the crowd, and things were going back and forth. There was a lot of stiff shots in this match up, and Kim was really impressive, giving Kong some major shots to the face. Kong plays the monster role so well, and it’s not just her size, although that helps a lot.

Raisha Saeed got involved but was quickly thrown out of the ring, and Kim continued to beat down Kong until a few near falls occurred. Kim then got into trouble and was hit with a heavy handed Implant Buster and things went south, Kim lost this one after a massive Implant Buster on Kim, it was bad news.

Post match, Kong wanted to drop Kim onto a chair, and wasn’t able to succeed due to the ref’s getting knocked out. Kim’s sister jumped the rail and entered the ring, ODB and Roxxi came out for the save.

Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a Ladder Match

This match was an instant classic. Which is interested, Christian wasn’t on this show. But this match really wasn’t half bad. I’m surprised that Angle is competing so much, as I heard rumors that he had a hurt neck, he’s definitely doing something right. Booker T and Samoa Joe were both at ringside watching this one. The match saw Aj Styles dropping Angle on his neck a lot, lots of back breakers, and high spots. Angle on the other hand did a lot of rest holds and chockes.

One thing that I noticed about this match was, there are not a lot of bumps that involve falls or ladder spots. There are a few times where the ladder comes into play, however not in the same respect as a WWE ladder match. The ladder also looked a little different, and didn’t look like the standard Werner ladder or an a-frame ladder that is standard in construction. Which reminds me, when I was doing construction, I had to carry ladders on the time, and they aren’t that heavy and don’t hurt that much. The real heavy and hard hitting ladders are made of wood or stainless or aluminum steel. That’s just a sidenote, sorry, but this ladder didn’t seem all that heavy, and if you saw the match you’ll know what I mean.

Samoa Joe and Booker T start fighting outside! Booker T hits Samoa Joe with a baseball bat, knocking him out. Aj and Kurt Angle are on the ladder fighting when the lights go out, when the lights come back on, AJ is on the ladder with a guitar and he knocks out Kurt Angle with it, and Angle falls to his near death. (I’m joking) Of course, no one knows where the guitar is coming from, but they are all convinced that they know who it is. I know one thing, I’m bored with this stupid lights out thing.

TNA Results 8/22/2008

Hernandez defeated Robert Roode
Eric Young & Bg James defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
Matt Morgan defeated Jobber Capone
Booker T defeated Rhino
Consequences Creed defeated Petey Williams via DQ
Awesome Kong defeated Gail Kim in a Street Fight
Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a Ladder Match

Admittedly this edition of TNA impact wasn’t my favorite. However, if you look at the sheer number of matches, you’ll notice that there is a lot of wrestling in theory. There is a lot more wrestling than you would see in WWE, however these matches aren’t extremely long. There are a few matches that stand out this time around though, including the TNA knockouts street fight and the ladder match. These two were definitely above par in comparison to the other nights in wrestling so far.

I do not enjoy the TNA backstage and interview segments as I feel that there is a lot of wasted time spent in nonsense backstage segments and random interviews. I am so bored and uninterested in some of these, that I grew tired of watching the whole show. I even stopped taking notes about them mid way through this review.

Tna is doing good, but I think they could do more in the wrestling department, and less backstage antics and talking.

TNA Impact Review 8/14/2008 Different Approach

This week, I had a bad Friday morning, and couldn’t get the review done in the same fashion that I usually do it. However, I did manage to watch the show, so I’m writing this kind of by memory, so it’s not going to be as extensive as usual, so hang in there with me…I’m trying.

Christian Cage and Rhino defeated The Rock N’ Rave Infection

I don’t believe that a tag team that is not a real team, should defeat an established, regular tag team. So this match really made me upset as a wrestling fan. As a purist that is, but as a casual fan of TNA (considering that I’m not the greatest fan of their product) this match up was not bad. A lot of good in and out tags, Cage and Rhino were great, and almost seemed like a seasoned tag team. Rock N’ Roll Infection is all flash and not a whole lot more. Christy Hemme looked good for once, and she was covering up her forehead, so it wasn’t glaring off the lights. It was a good overall match, and a nice change of pace from the usual horrible matches that I’ve been watching this week.

Team 3D defeated Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash

This match bored me. It was basically the Samoa Joe show, as Nash didn’t do a whole lot in this one. Joe snapped after the match, and the win, by hitting Devon with a chair several times and this was interesting. Joe was going nuts! Earl Hebner reversed the decision after the fact and Team 3D picks up the win. I’m not sure what kind of implications this makes for the future, but Team 3D loses again.

The Blueprint Matt Morgan defeated Johnny Devine

This match sucked. Matt Morgan sucked. His matches are devoid of any charisma, and while he’s a big guy, he doesn’t execute that monster charisma that is needed to get over. He sucks, I’m sorry. After the match up Abyss and Morgan seem to team up…boring me some more.

I wish that Abyss took Morgan out, and just beat the living hell out of him. Then Morgan can get over as a guy that came back from the beat down to conquer the Abyss…but nope. The booking team at TNA have their heads in their butts.

Karen’s Angle sucked. Let’s never see this again. Watching Mr. Ass come out as gay…stupid, I bet he’s banging the beautiful people, seriously, I’d bang em….sorry, I’ll get back to pg rating.

Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Jay Lethal

This was a boring match to me. I’m tired of seeing Jay Lethal trying to be Macho Man. He’s just not that damn good. Macho Man had charisma, Lethal is just a parody of a good wrestler. I hate it. Sheik Abdul is being touted as the “Arabian Nightmare” and I am not sure if that is a wise idea. We’ll see how tna works this all out.

Sonjay Dutt came out and beat down Lethal, and apparently their feud is not over. Great way to sell that match up from the ppv? Huh.

Taylor Wilde defeated Christy Hemme (Traci Brooks was the ref)

This match was good. It was quick and had a lot of good and solid wrestling. It is always a treat to see the TNA Knockouts. I would never want to fight them or even date them, they’d probably kill me fast. But man, would it be a nice way to go out, huh? The match was good, and Taylor Wilde wins again. Christy Hemme is not just a playboy cover girl, she can work really well in the ring and put on a good match up.

Afterwards Awesome Kong hit the ring, and tore up the women. Gail Kim ran down and helped out. This seems to be the standard in TNA, they just keep going to the same savior angle with Kim. They need to just book Kong vs. Kim in a specialty match, like a steel cage and let’s see them fight!

Hernandez defeated James Storm

The LAX feud continued again with some horrible singles match. Hernandez is cool and Storm is ok, but this match was boring. They need their tag partners to make this worth while.

Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle

This was a wrestling match! No, not a pro-wrestling match up, they took the ropes down and they did a traditional wrestling match. It was so horrible. I hate this type of crap. The ending was interesting though, they had the lights go out, Angle had a bat, and then the lights went out again and this time AJ had a guitar and smashed it into Kurt Angles head, and once again Angle was busted open the hard way! This is ridiculous!

Tna Impact 8/14/2008 Quick Results:

Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle
Hernandez defeated James Storm
Taylor Wilde defeated Christy Hemme (Traci Brooks was the ref)
Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Jay Lethal
The Blueprint Matt Morgan defeated Johnny Devine
Team 3D defeated Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash
Christian Cage and Rhino defeated The Rock N’ Rave Infection

This show wasn’t all that great. Sure, they stuffed the show with a lot more wrestling than WWE, but the execution of these matches weren’t that great. I didn’t think that they did pro-wrestling right. WCW at least made some very memorable moments, meanwhile TNA tries to rest on their laurels. There wasn’t as many interview segments and a lot of backstage stuff, although they did take place. This show seemed to have a lot more wrestling than I usually am used to with TNA. The crowd seemed into it at times too, so maybe this was a good show for the fans in attendance.

I can’t stand the announce team though. Seriously, the announce team sucks. They need Tony Shiavone back in there with Tenay!

I also don’t like TNA is a strong number 2.
