ECW Living Dangerously 1998 Results and Review

The Asbury Park Convention Hall in New Jersey was the home for the first pay per view with the name Living Dangerously from ECW. I went back and watched it to review it for this site, and have a few notes to give, and random ideas as well. Now, you can get an edited version of this on the WWE network, but I recommend picking up the official release so that you don’t get it “edited” and watered down. However, it’s really a good effort on the WWE streaming side, so it’s up to you what you want to do.

ECW Living Dangerously Review

Jerry Lynn and Chris Chetti defeated The F.B.I

This was a somewhat forgettable match. It had a few moments, but overall, it was a fast paced opener that didn’t really highlight Lynn’s best. However, it was a good opening match up. Chetti was the highlight, being trained and featured in the ECW brand.

Masato Tanaka defeated Doug Furnas

For those of you young people out there, Furnas was in WWE for a while with a tag partner. He showed up in ECW here after getting thrown into the mix there in WWE’s bolstering tag division. He didn’t do much there, but here he got a lost in under 10 minutes against Tanaka. Not either one of these individuals best match.

Rob Van Dam defeated 2 Cold Scorpio

This by far was the second to best match of the night. RVD really showed up to showcase his skills in this one. 2 Cold Scorpio (Flash Funk in WWE) put on a showcase as well. The two nearly went 30 minutes in this match, and it was never a dull moment. These two could go, and it showed. RVD picks up the win, but it was not easy. Look out for this one, it’ll surprise you how good it truly was.

New Jack and Spike Dudley defeated The Dudley Boyz and Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten in a 3 way dance

This was a classic hardcore match. Lots of plunder, lots of hard hitting spots, and blood. The highlight was Spike and New Jack jumping off the balcony through tables. That was a classic high spot. However, this too was a bit on the forgettable side.

Tommy Dreamer defeated Justin Credible

This was an interesting one as Jenna Jameson came out to do a quick interview with Justin Credible. She was top heavy, and didn’t have all the plastic surgery yet. She was hot, I admit it. Anyways, Tommy Dreamer picks up the win with some interference from Beulah (his wife), and it’s a shame that Justin Credible didn’t get more of a fair shake in WWE when he was Aldo Montoya. This was as good as you’d expect, with some great moments, and nice overall offense from Dreamer. Credible bounced around a bit, but in the end, fell to Dreamer and Beulah’s interference.

Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Taz for the ECW Television Championship

This is by far the best match on the card. The reason being is simple, Taz and Bigelow flow quite well in the ring. Bigelow here comes across as seriously powerful, but Taz was able to lift and suplex the crap out of him. Taz truly impressed me when he straight dead lifted Bam Bam over his head, and through a table. This spot alone is worth your time. Dead weight man, you can see Taz about to buckle and then just pulls him over. Furthermore, Taz nearly knocks himself out cold throwing Bigelow off of the stage and hits his head on a guard rail. Epic match.

Sabu defeated The Sandman in a Singapore Cane Match

Not much to say about this one. Sabu got help from RVD. The best part was RVD was dressed as Sabu, so that was a bit of fun. This had a lot of brawling, and Sabu hitting his famous spots. Sandman got drunk, and beat up, that’s about it.

Lance Storm and Al Snow defeated Chris Candido and Shane Douglas

This match started with Lance Storm having a “mystery partner”. What happened next was fun. Sunny came out and said she was the mystery partner. The match moved ok, but it wasn’t until Sunny turned on Storm that things got really fun. The mystery partner was revealed to be Al Snow! The lights went out and the arena was full of foam heads! Things went insane, as there was a hole in the ring from the earlier match. Al Snow pinned Douglas, and this match was done fast. It wasn’t much of a match, but it had a fun finish with the visual of thousands of foam heads.

The number one reason why I recommend getting this DVD is simple, Bam Bam Bigelow versus Taz. One hell of a match, and Taz really put on a show. Dead lifting Bigelow through a table, holy crap, that's all I can say about this one. 2 Cold Scorpio and Van Dam put on a clinic too, but it was the TV title match that takes the cake here.

TNA Against All Odds 2011 Results and Review

The crowd seemed hot for this one, and it was nice to hear. I wish the announcers talked about it. THe opening match had me pumping my fist, that's for sure...because Robbie E and Cookie can really create some heat. I am a fan of Robbie E, even if I'm the only one.

Robbie E faced off one on one with Kaz, and the match was really fast paced, with lots of fast moments. Cookie got involved and I was marking out for the old school ending, but when Kaz kicked out of a roll up after getting hit in the face with a boot I saw this match slipping away from the New Jersey bad boy. Kaz would eventually get the win, after the Fade to Black Reverse Tombstone, and the crowd went wild. NOt a terrible match, but it left a lot to be desired from me. These guys can put up a better match, even if all we got was this one. Robbie E should have the title, if I do say so myself.

Kaz defeated Robbie E in the X Division Title Match

Immortal came out with the body guards (Gunner and Murphy, and Rob Terry) came out for a match, and I already hated it. ROb Terry is so huge, that he should've kept that feud with Orlando Jordan. They were building it up to be quite good. Beer Money would get a shot at them, and they are just wasted here. Big Poppa Pump came out to join them, and he's the only big name in this match up. I think I might mark out huge for an Undertaker vs Steiner match, just for the meeting. This match wasn't a complete waste, but it was apparent that Robert Roode and his partner were carrying the work load. Steiner was way over with the in ring crowd, which was nice. Steiner delivered a top rope Frankensteiner!!!!!!! I kid you not, TOP ROPE FRANKENSTEINER! Scott Steiner hit one hell of a move and I marked out huge, alongside the rest of the crowd, wow! A HUGE FRANKENSTEINER saves the day!

Beer Money & Scott Steiner defeated Gunner, Murphy & Rob Terry

Samoa Joe and The Pope put on a good enough match. I'm always surprised at how Samoa Joe can move in ring. He can really go, despite how fat I perceive him being. He started this match fast and the crowd was all about it. Joe has some great finesse in ring, He seems to float through some of his moves, and it's really good. The Pope, on the other hand, seemed a bit lost at several moments during this match up. The Pope took the turnbuckle pad off, and this match seemed to lose momentum when Joe was almost thrown into it. The Pope reversed a nice roll up into the Kakina Clutch and I was amazed! What a finisher.

Samoa Joe defeated The Pope

Post match, the Pope seemed impressed, but not hurt. Joe won the physical battle, but Pope is winning the psychological warfare.

Up Next, was the Knockouts match, and wow, what a waste. Mickie James botched several moves, and this thing was going terrible. The match was boring, and things were saved by Tara, she ran down and helped the flow of this match. Mickie James and Madison really made for a good overall second half the match, and I loved it, only because Madison took out a pair of Brass Knuckles and KNOCKED OUT Mickie James while the ref was distracted and won this knockouts match! The brass knucks get the mark out moment in this match up. I guess I'll pass it because I marked out huge, oh and I guess I called the match right huh?

Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James in a last woman standing match

Super Mex and Matt Morgan had a confrontation, and I hated it.

Matt Hardy cut a promo, it sucked. He is really trying to be Raven. It was weird.

Matt Hardy wasn't really good here, but he is losing weight gradually. He wasn't as bloated as I've seen him in previous years, and he put on an ok match. RVD did NOT put on a great match, and I think it's the caliber of opponent here. There were some nice spots to follow, including a unique submission move that I haven't seen in years. RVD would lose this one after a botched attempt by hardy to hit a Moonsault. The crowd was losing steam here, and that's when RVd would get the win with the Five Star Frog Splash.

RVD defeated Matt Hardy

This match wasn't really that good. Bully ray and Devon fought each other brawling all the way. The match really got interesting towards the end, with Bully Ray putting Devon in handcuffs to the ring post. His sons ran in and they got beat down. Yes, Devon's kids got beat up, one went through a table too, it was sad. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Bully Ray pinned one of Devon's sons...this was sad.

Bully ray defeated Devon

Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett put on a good match, although nothing comparible to many others. Karen Jarrett kept getting involved and would cost Angle. Kurt really did manage to put on a few good shots on Double J including suplex after suplex. Jarrett looked frustrated in this match at several points, including when Angle kicked out of the Stroke. The momentum shifted when the ref took a bump and Angle went to the outside to brawl with Double J. Jarrett introduced a chair and Angle couldn't use it, and this match got some steam again, and I was actually cheering for Kurt Angle! I wish Angle could get a shot at Taker, on a sidenote. Karen distracted Angle in the corner and after The Stroke was hit from the middle rope, this match seemed over, but nope! Kurt made Jarrett tap out at one point, but the ref was distracted! Jarrett was able to turn things around, and got Angle in a sick roll up! JARRETT WINS! JARRETT WINS!

Jeff Jarrett defeated Kurt Angle

Post match it just seemed sad as Angle genuinely looked sad, and he started crying and left his boots in the ring...signaling retirement.

There hasn't been a main event that has been so lame sounding, than this one. I tried to avoid spoilers, but I knew what would happen, and I was saddened to see this is the main event.

One of the worst Ladder matches I've ever seen happened here. There were some nice brawling points, but there was no drama, no real enthusiasm here, and Jeff hardy got the win, surprise surprise. What a lousy ending, I can't vouch for this, this sucked.

TNA Impact 12/30/10 Review

The last impact of 2010, and I was very tired this morning. I haven't made any sales on this site from amazon, I still have no job, and earlier this morning the only video of Superstars had an AWA track on it, so that's why there's no review for Superstars this week.

Here are my thoughts of TNA.

TNA had Foley chants piped in with this entrance music, it sounded so fake.

Mick Foley and Anderson got in the ring and started talking, I didn't care. Matt Morgan came out and he got involved too. The whole point of this was to further set up the match between Anderson and Matt Morgan. Of course, Anderson's concussion.

Robert Roode defeated Chris Sabin

This match wasn't half bad. It featured a lot of back and forth wrestling, and lots of spots where Sabin looked far better than Roode. I couldn't believe how good Roode reacted to a great deal of the offense from Sabin. Sabin tried to go to the top too many times, because Roode was able to catch him and deliver a nice spine buster and picked up the win. This was probably the best match I've seen on TNA in a long time.

The backstage segments with Orlando Jordan and Erik Young sucks. Shark boy showed up and it was funny.

Rob Van Dam defeated Robbie E

Not a good match here, and Rob Van dam looked winded early. Robbie E was buried here. It wasn't a very good match. You could imagine what happened here, RVD's move set isn't very big and Robbie E is just hanging on by a thread since losing the x-division title.

Post match, Jeff Hardy got on the screen and said RVD had to pass a test at Genesis. They didn't reveal who the opponent was, but if RVD won, he'd get a shot at Jeff Hardy.

Sarita defeated Velvet Sky in a Leather Strap Match

This was just weird. This leather strap match had some interesting points, but it wasn't a great wrestling match up. A lot of points looked like it legit hurt. This match had very little wrestling, it was just a brawl until Sarita won by hitting the 4th corner. The concept is ok, but in action it was just boring.

Jeff Jarrett vs Amazing Red's Brother

Amazin Red's supposed brother came out for the Double J challenge. It ended with Amazing Red smashing a guitar. This was stupid...I hate Jarrett, so maybe he's doing his job well.

Aj Styles & Rob Terry defeated Magnus & Douglas Williams

This match was boring to me. However, the ending was awesome. Aj Styles put Magnus through the Rolling Chaos Theory finisher and I was marking out huge. That was the best part of this match up. HOpefullly Aj loses at Genesis, cause i can't stand his gimmick.

Madison Rayne came to the ring in an evening gown. Mickie James came down and beat her up than stripped her of her dress. Yep. Hardcore Country! I don't care about these women.

Matt Morgan & Devon defeated Ken Anderson & Bubba Ray

This match wasn't that great either. There was some nice back and forth action. Ray and Bubba didn't fight much as Bubba kept running from Devon. Anderson and Morgan work well together. The ending was interesting, Matt Morgan tried to clobber Devon, I think, I don't know, but he ended up hitting Anderson in the back of the head, nearly knocking out Anderson.

Matt Morgan apparently had a heel swerve here? I don't know, it seemed weird. We'll see what will happen sooner than later.

The show was convoluted, there were a lot of things pushed forward here, but no sign of the x-division, and not a lot of great wrestling. It was better than most weeks of Impact, but not nearly as good as WWE's Raw this week.

TNA Impact 8/5/10 Review

Ugh...TNA started with a recap of last week and I was already tired of TNA. I've been doing a LOT of terrible wrestling and somehow, I have to deal with it all the time..nevermind, I was going to rant, but eh, no one cares.

The show opened up with the recap than went into Tommy Dreamer calling out Raven. He asked Raven why he beat up Dreamer.

The whole storyline is that Tommy Dreamer stole Raven's Girlfriend and that's it. He went on about how he was going to screw Dreamer's wife, and the two brawled on top of the stage while Abyss and RVD came out and wrestled. Foley came out with a barbed wire bat to the stomach.

Foley said that he was going to be the special guest referee for the night.

Is it just me or is Taz just phoning it in? He looked like he wasn't even trying tonight, and of course, he sucks.

I'm tired of this stuff...FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!

Taylor Wilde & Hamada defeated The Beautiful People

I like Taylor Wilde, I think she'd be cool to hang out with and...uh...nevermind. Hamada can wrestle, so I was hoping for big things from this match for once. Lacey Von Erich is the WORST of the knockouts. No one could carry her, and Hamada was having a hard time wrestling a terribly rookie. Velvet Sky is my least favorite of the Beautiful People. The motorcycle woman came down and helped the beautiful people by giving lacey von erich a steel chair, but it was Taylor Wilde that kicked the chair into Von Erich and that was that. New champions!

AJ Styles defeated Rob Terry

The television title was defended here, and Styles was hitting hard, but not as hard as Terry. I like Terry, he's a nice counter what is now the standard "wrestling body" and a nice throwback to the 80's. Terry was throwing Aj Styles around like a rag doll, and it was good. After some cheating tactics the former World Champion hit the 450 Splash and won the match. Where is Orlando Jordan? I thought he was feuding with Rob Terry? Oh well.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money in an Destination X match

I didn't like this match. Yes, they put on quite a show, but come on! It's cookie cutter and you KNEW who was going to win. I'm sick of seeing this stupid crap. I'm tired of watching high spots and no psychology, and while I like both teams, I don't want to see them wrestle each week. At least not each other. I need something NEW! PLEASE!

Bischoff and Hogan came out and ran down the card for next week, which was boring. Out came Kevin Nash and beat up Hogan. That prompted Jeff Jarrett to come out and beat up Kevin Nash. That prompted STING to come out in Red Makeup and he used the bat on Jarrett. Sting hit Hogan in the head with a chair. Jarrett was knocked out. The announcers kept talking about how the Wolfpack is back, NWO WOLFPACK...I don't care...I'm sick of these storylines.

The Pope defeated Orlando Jordan

Orlando Jordan finally is getting a shot at wrestling, instead of just freaking everyone out. The Pope was fighting well, while Orlando Jordan was doing his normal weirdo wrestling moves. The Pope eventually got the upper hand thanks to Erik Young. Erik Young ran down to the ramp and started picking up all the money that dropped from the ceiling. The Dinero Express was hit and that was that, the Pope wins.

This makes no dang sense to me. Pope is a franchise TNA player and they could make him into a major ratings draw, but nope. Matt Morgan sneak attacked him and that prompted Anderson to run down to the ring with a chair, and that was that. I'm tired of TNA and their dumb writing, FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!

Ric Flair defeated Jay Lethal

This was embarrassing. I can't believe that Lethal would for this. This is a spectacle. Flair and Lethal fought in a street fight. I kid you not. Lethal in Jeans and Flair in his suit gets completely dismembered. This was sad. Flair wrestled Lethal in his underwear at one point! YES! In his underwear! Flair was busted open and was bleeding like a stuck pig. Flair, with one shoe, one sock and his underwear was fighting what appeared to be a much smarter Lethal. Thanks to Douglas Williams knocking out Lethal, Flair wins, bleeding all over the ring all over Lethal, and wow...This is sad, but you know what? The 12 year old in me was marking out like crazy.

Raven & Abyss vs Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer (no contest?)

This match was terrible. Dreamer can barely work with his bum knee. RVD was ok, and Abyss was ok. Raven was a non issue. The end of this match featured 1/2 of the old ECW roster come into the ring and start beating up Abyss. The Gore got stopped, and out came 3-D! They were ready to hit 3-D but out came Raven with a chair and stopped it all. I used to love Raven, but he just looks fat now. Bring back the normal hair and lose some weight!

The lights went out completely and in the ring was The SANDMAN! AKA HAK! SANDMAN went to town with the Kendo stick! Sandman hasn't aged a bit! SANDMAN IS IN TNA!!! BUT WHO CARES? FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS! FIRE ALL THE WHATEVER FIRE EVERYONE! SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THIS STUPIDITY!

The show ended with everyone in ring celebrating...I'm so sick of TNA right now...I'll have a Hardcore Justice review coming Monday...So tired.

TNA Victory Road 2010 Review

I was fortunate enough to see the show, and therefore, here is my review of the latest TNA ppv offering.

The show opened up with a promo for Abyss. They did it just like they did the old Mankind promo's, and I'm tired of it already. Abyss sucks, face it folks, Abyss is such a stale character that hasn't been relevant for a long time.

Doug Williams defeated Brian Kendrick

The story here is that Williams is afraid of heights, which meant that Kendrick had the upper hand here. The match was even handed, going back and forth throughout the match up. Williams was working a more strong style, while Kendrick was throwing all his high spots at the champion, making for a nice flow. The match should've gotten better with near falls or something, but overall, this match started hot and fizzled out over time. The ending featured a bad landing from the “x” ropes Williams managed to choke out Kendrick, who looked dead after the fall. A boring ending to an otherwise mediocre match.

Post match, Kendrick looked legit knocked out, and it could've been from the fall off the top of the “x” sign ropes.

Brother Ray defeated Jesse Neal and Brother Devon in a triple threat match

This match was just terrible to watch. I was so bored with it, and even though it had a few hits, the majority just wasn't that good. I haven't been a fan of Team 3D since they were battling the Eliminators in ECW. Devon didn't show up after they introduced him, and it turned out that Devon was locked in his dressing room with and he couldn't get out. This match was just a few steps above an Impact match. The most exciting part of the match was seeing the ECW originals walking in the crowd, that's about it. Devon eventually ran down to the ring, and this match could've started to get good, but guess what? It didn't. Neal accidentally speared Devon and Brother Ray won via pinfall.

This is the worst feud going right now. I'm sick of it, that's for sure.

Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne via disqualification **Love wins the title

First and foremost, Madison was wearing a flesh tone ring outfit, giving the perception that she was naked. I'm not sure if that was the intention of TNA, but it came across very sexy. Just sayin. The match was a systematic movement of botches, attempts at wrestling, and just terrible points of interest. I was really bored with this match, even though you could see everything that Madison Rayne has, including a shot of her nether-regions.

Out of the blue a woman riding a Motorcycle showed up in full black gear and a helmet on. Angelina Love was thrown outside and the masked woman attacked her, and then the Ref was beat up, causing the match to end in a disqualification.

Post match the Motorcycle riding woman took Madison Rayne with her to the backstage area. Angelina Love won, and I didn't care, and I'm sure no one else did either.

Kazarian & Aj Styles defeated Rob Terry & Samoa Joe

This hot shot tag team didn't make any sense to me. That's right, Rob Terry was feuding with Orlando Jordan and Samoa Joe is fresh off losing to RVD, so why are they tagging together out of the blue? I don't know, and guess what? WHO CARES?!?! Ugh, I'm so sick of TNA's booking, it just doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't interest me at all. Plus, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE???

The match was mostly Joe & Terry and the two were in full control of this match up, while Styles and Kaz tried their best to fight the monster duo. Kaz and AJ were bumping all over the ring, and the dual offense of Terry & Joe definitely made the match fun to watch. I thought I was going to hate the match, but the pace was fast, the moves were definitely solid, and it just kept getting better over time, with Styles and Kaz just getting PWNED at all points. Samoa Joe caught Styles flying into the corner and slammed him in a move that should've broken the ring, it was sick. Terry is jacked as ever, and was throwing around Kaz and Styles like rag dolls, making for a nice throwback to the 80's Steroids era of wrestling. Desmond Wolfe ran down to interfere in the match, and helped turn the match around.

Desmond Wolfe was easily taken care of and the Flair wannabes took turns hitting their finishers to get Rob Terry out, and that was that. This match was actually very entertaining, and I liked it. They won the match with a nice flurry of finishers, and a little help from Desmond Wolfe.

Post match, Desmond Wolfe got a Muscle Buster for his troubles.

Hernandez defeated Matt Morgan in a steel cage match

This match was a classic steel cage match, and it featured blood! This match wasn't pg, and it shouldn't be. The two men fought each other quite well and each man took major bumps into the cage, and through power moves at various stages of the match up. Hernandez got the biggest bump as he flew off the top of the cage, only to miss Morgan. Morgan got a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Hernandez to the ring ropes, but Super Mex broke the cuffs and spread the cage door hard and busted through to win the match! Not a terrible match, and definitely a throwback to the old style cage matches from WWE, I liked it.

Christy Hemme has a HUGE forehead, but I'd still hook up, if I had a chance.

Jay Lethal defeated Ric Flair

Jay Lethal did a lot of standard 80's and early 90's style wrestling in this match. Taking pages from many other matches that Flair has been a part of, Lethal kept hitting standard wrestling moves instead of flying through the year often. Flair wasn't exactly putting on a show tonight, and he was winded early. Lethal eventually started to work Flair's leg and eventually strapped on the Figure Four leg lock and Flair quit. That was that. This match was barely passable, and Lethal was really excited, about beating up a 50 year old man.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money

This match was given plenty of time, and the guys put on a show as they always do. I don't remember being too intrigued, but I give the two teams a lot of credit. Both teams had points where this thing was over, but I felt like I've seen this match too many times. I'm actually getting tired of seeing the Machine Guns fight Beer Money, and that's why I didn't care too much about this match. Yes, there were double team moves, high spots, nearfalls, and some good quality tag team wrestling, but I just didn't find myself caring too much. The Eye of the Storm was a nice move towards the end.

There was a ref bump, out ran Earl Hebner to equalize the match up. The Machine Guns kept getting close. The match ended in an odd fashion. One member Beer Money pinned One member of The Machine Guns, While one member of the Machine Guns pinned one member of Beer Money, and both Brian Hebner and Earl Hebner counted 3 which meant that both teams won?!?

The match was restarted, since there were no definitive winners. After the match was restarted, the Motor City Machine Guns hit a tandem move and finally got the pinfall win to capture the TNA Tag Team Championship Belts.

Kurt Angle defeated The Pope D'Angelo Dinero

This wasn't a four star epic, but it had enough gusto to make a very interesting match from two good overall competitors. The match was back and forth with neither man really getting too much of an advantage in the match up. You got your traditional Angle moments with suplexes, rough tackles and mat wrestling. Dinero kept fighting and hit his move set, but the end came with Dinero getting trapped in the Ankle Lock several times, and eventually giving up. This match was telegraphed for Angle to win, and anyone that thought he would lose, is dumb. Angle will not lose a match for a long time, that's for sure.

Rob Van Dam defeated Abyss,Jeff Hardy, and Mr. Anderson

This match was probably the safest main event I've seen in a long time. The match didn't have a lot of high spots, and while there were a few cool moments, this match just looked like it was phoned in. I didn't think this match was all that great, and actually ended with such a stupid ending, that even the crowd wasn't that insane. It was a quiet crowd in a lackluster finish, that saw all men on top of each other and Rob Van Dam with the pinfall win. The dead crowd showcased how crappy this match was. Seriously, there is nothing really worth mentioning throughout the match, and I felt cheated as a wrestling fan.

Post match Abyss grabbed his Nail Board and was ready to attack RVD, he didn't hit him, but wanted to. Abyss was left in the ring with the board and that was that. The show ended with Abyss in ring, and that was that. I hated this crap. One of the worst ppv's of the year, and I am not surprised that I hated it. TNA hasn't done anything worth while in a few months and dare I say years? Man, TNA sucks.

TNA Impact 7/8/10 Review

Another week down of impact, I wasn't looking forward to it, but I was curious about a few things, specifically whether the ECW invasion was for sure going to happen, and that's the only thing that kept me motivated to watch and review yet another week of impact wrestling.

The show started with Anderson in the ring talking about how he didn't mean to hit Jeff Hardy last week. Jeff Hardy, getting fatter each episode of Impact came out and Anderson told him that later tonight that if Hardy uses the chair on him, there's a problem, and if Anderson hits Hardy with a chair, once again there's a problem. I know, it's confusing. I'm almost caring about it...almost.

Styles was backstage talking to some random person in a backstage segment. Hardy cut a promo, I guess? Man, these backstage segments are lame.

Kazarian defeated Aj Styles

First of all, they announced that there is a 10 minute time limit! 10 MINUTES!? Really? What is this? WCW light? Remember the time limit draws for the Television title? Those were cool, right? This match could've been saved for a ppv, but instead it was all business. Styles came down without his regular entrance, he came in throwing offense and Kaz was definitely stunned. This was pure action to start the match, and the Ref was having a hard time getting control, but it slowed down and settled into another standard match up. Kaz hit an amazing drop kick to the midsection of Aj Styles. If you missed it, you MISSED IT! I was stunned, he hit a drop kick, mid level and hit styles in the stomach, Styles FLEW back just like a stunt man would do in a film, it was insane, and while it was just a little moment to concentrate on, I was completely impressed, for the first time, with Kaz. The match spilled out onto the floor and the two got counted out! A double count out finish, that's that.

Angelina Love defeated Daffney

I like Daffney, she's hot, Angelina love has the body of a barbie doll and a fat head. Aside from looks, the two women tried to wrestle, and while the start of the match showed a bit of technical flare, the majority of this match was standard Knockout moves. Clothesline here, botch there, clothesline, dead crowd, and just lackluster. It's painfully obvious that the division needs better writing and wrestlers. This was just amateur hour, some of the worst women's wrestling going today. Angelina Love won this terrible match, and if you missed it, good for you!

I'm not sure what's worse, Angelina Love's fat head or her wrestling skills.

This sunday there will be a Career Match for the TNA Knockout's Championship. This is basically telegraphing the winner....I think.

Ink Inc and Devon were in ring, and Brother Devon started trying to get some answers from Bubba Ray about what is going on with Jesse Neal. Bubba was on the mic basically talking about splitting up Team 3D, in so many words. I'm already tired with this segment...so tired. I guess Bubba will feud with Devon and Jesse Neal. Jesse Neal will face Bubba Ray and Devon in a triple threat match. Not sure why...but ok, I guess.

Remember when Samoa Joe was kidnapped? We still have no answer to what happened. He did lose a few pounds, but what does it matter now?

Rob Van Dam defeated Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe can be dangerous, and I'm perplexed at TNA for giving away this match, with no major build up and no answers as to who was responsible for kidnapping SAMOA JOE! Maybe it was a fraternity stunt or something, or maybe it was the ECW originals? I don't know, I'm lost.

The two started kicking back and forth and Joe got kicked in the face hard style, which was amazing to see. RVD made a mistake and almost got caught in the Muscle Buster, and this match took a nice turn. RVD's spinning kick to the face was a great way to start this one, especially since Joe took it square and looked legit pissed about it. Despite having a few standout moments, the end of the match was odd, it kind of was just “thrown together”. RVD got an odd roll through for the pinfall victory. This match wasn't half bad, and it had some great moments, that's for sure, I thought Joe had this thing won, but apparently not. This was a quality wrestling match for tv, but it kind of just ended, there could've been more.

Post match Joe hit the Muscle Buster on the REF! Joe's just a sore loser now, instead of being a strong heel.

Douglas Williams defeated Jeremy of Generation Me In a Ladder Match

This match started fast paced and Williams was stunned early on. I liked the intensity from Jeremy Buck in this match up. The ladder came into the ring, but it wasn't ussed as a weapon at first, but it later became part of the structure with both guys taking bumps on and off the ladder. The commentators kept saying that Doug Williams is scared of heights, and he was playing that up as he couldn't climb the ladder at all. With Williams not being able to utilize the ladder and Jeremy hitting a lot of high flying and heavy hitting moves, he managed to defeat the champion in a non title match and that was that.

The Motor City Machine Guns put a little pre-packaged promo about Beer Money and how dangerous they are. It was a funny little sketch, and a solid example of what you can do with just a little bit of time to build a solid ppv showcase. I liked it.

Beer Money & Matt Morgan defeated The Motor City Machine Guns & Hernandez

What's this? A six man tag featuring people that will face off at the ppv? Did TNA just take a page from WWE's play book? Yep.

This match started off fast and the Motor City Machine guns were on top overall. Hernandez was complaining about how he wasn't being tagged into the match, but that didn't matter, the Machine Guns were moving faster than Hernandez could, and Beer Money was getting worked at every angle. Things turned around after Matt Morgan hit a big boot on Sabin. He got tagged in and this thing was just a matter of time. Beer Money is definitely the best tag team in the wrestling industry right now and I hope that TNA NEVER breaks them up to go on single careers. I know, i'm asking for a lot, but the way they worked in this match was solid, and I'm glad to see at least one federation understands how good a quality tag team can work a match. The match broke down and left only the Machine Guns and Beer Money in this match. After a reversed cross body block off the top rope, Beer Money took the win, and this was the end of this match. I liked it, great overall action, quick moments, and a solid Beer Money team.

Kevin Nash was back stage talking to Hulk Hogan. Hogan basically said that Waltman and Hall are done with the company, and that his hands were tied. That was that. Hall is still employed?

Jay Lethal in ring was talking like Ric Flair. Ric Flair came out and started cutting a promo. He basically said he was going to beat the crap out of Jay Lethal at the ppv. Lethal wanted to beat up Flair, but he did nothing, and Lethal was left in ring like a chump as Flair ran around him verbally and walked away.

Hardy is looking a bit chunky, just sayin.

Ken Anderson defeated Jeff Hardy

I'm not sure why these two are the main event, when there was a championship match mid-way through the show! Whatever. The match wasn't anything crazy, just your standard match from these two. I feel like I've already seen this match several times before, and while there were some ok moments in the match, I just saw nothing new for a good portion of it. The match wasn't slow or boring, especially when Hardy botched his own moves and missed Anderson! Hardy is not what he used to be, that's for sure. Anderson went for a top rope move but missed it, and Hardy hit his Twist of Fate and this match was done, Hardy wins relatively clean.

Abyss came out with a piece of wood with nails in it. I'm so sick of Abyss. He got beat up by Anderson and Hardy with relative ease, at least momentarily. Abyss then chokeslammed Hardy and kicked Mr. Anderson and stared at his piece of wood...Abyss sucks. I can't believe he's being pushed as the top heel right now. RVD's music hit and he ran down with his belt over his shoulder! Why is the champ running down with the belt? It just slows him down.

RVD didn't do much, he ran in and got thrown out by Abyss. Anderson got the steel chair and hit Abyss hard in the back. RVD then hit the Vandamminator on Abyss and that's it. The show finished, and that was that. TNA is ok at best, there were some good moments, which is rare, but I wasn't completely floored.

TNA Impact 7/1/10 Review

The show started with a recap of Abyss turning heel. I don't like Abyss, and I don't care about his turn, nor his character. It is stupid.

First and foremost, remember when So Cal Val was being fought over? Remember the “love her or leave her match”? Lethal vs Sonjay Dutt? Remember? Yeah neither does TNA.

Abyss was at ringside throwing chairs into the ring. Hogan came out to try and stop things, I guess. I don't know, this was stupid. Hogan called out Abyss, and the two were about to brawl?

Security ran down and stopped Abyss from fighting Hogan. Despite the crowd's reaction, the two didn't beat each other up, and I still don't care. TNA once again doesn't know what the heck they are doing.

Eric Bischoff ran down and slapped Abyss, only to have Hogan hit Abyss with a chair. Abyss is now “SUPER” and can just absorb chair shots. Jeff hardy ran down for the save. I've already seen Hardy vs Abyss several times, this is stupid. I'm sick of TNA, come on! Hardy hit the Swanton on Abyss and that was that. Abyss was laid out and in the middle of the ring...so sick of Hardy, Abyss, and Hogan.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Ink Inc

This match was ok. There were a lot of high spots, and the Machine Guns once again are getting a title shot. The match was exactly what you would expect from a fast paced tag match. Ink Inc is now buried? I don't know, i'm tired of this crap.

They had two clips of Dixie Carter walking backstage....ugh.

Remember when Aj styles was relevant? Remember when he won the title and the locker room cleared out to hoist him on the their shoulders? Yeah, he sucks now.

Samoa Joe defeated Aj Styles

I've seen these two put on some good matches, and some classic 3-way matches for the x-division title. However, this match was neither epic, nor classic. This match sucked. Joe is still fat, styles was doing a lot of ground based attacks and when I thought this thing couuld've improved, Styles got Aj Styles into his patented finishing submission and it was over. This was a poor match, between two guys that have put on way better matches in the past.

Post match, Ric Flair was yelling at Styles. Kaz was there in a suit too, and he was causing friction. Nothing came of this.

Styles got on the mic, and he was upset. He called out Kaz. Apparently, next week the two are going to brawl in the ring, and I personally couldn't care less...or more, whatever.

Remember when Desmond Wolfe was the big heel, putting on quality matches against Kurt Angle? Now he's a jobber?

Brian Kendrick defeated Desmond Wolfe

Desmond Wolfe is getting interesting, and more than his Smackdown persona that got him a spot in TNA. This apparently is a submission match? Why wouldn't they announce this at the top of the show? Try to build something, anything, I'm tired. Kendrick got a Cobra Clutch on Wolfe and that was it, that was it...Kendrick defeated DESMOND WOLFE! I couldn't believe this, I couldn't believe this crap...seriously? Kendrick beat Wolfe? I'm so tired of TNA.

The Pope came out and cut a promo, apparently the Pope is read for action. Kurt Angle came out to interrupt the Pope, and I guess the two are going to put on a quality match, in the near future.

Jay Lethal defeated Matt Morgan

Matt Morgan doesn't have that flare that he once had. He is now back to stuttering Matt Morgan to me. Lethal was definitely upping his game, but I find that the persona of Lethal is far more compelling than his in ring work. This match was ok, I guess, it had a few nice spots, but overall, the lackluster announce team mixed with what seemed like an obvious turning point to an otherwise average match, was a waste of time. Goozle City? Really Tazz? What the heck man! Jay Lethal won after some interference from Hernandez.

There appears to be an ECW invasion going on. Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, and Stevie Richards were in the crowd.

Madison Rayne defeated Taylor Wilde

Remember when Taylor Wilde was relevant? Now she's nothing more than a hot body in a bikini. Madison Rayne won an easy knockouts match.

Angelina Love came out, and attacked Madison. I didn't care. Angelina Love looks so plastic, and lopsided. I'm sure they'll fight...and I won't care.

Backstage Sarita beat up Taylor Wilde. Yep. Just a brawl in the back, nothing too crazy here. The camera kept shaking, so that was odd. The two were just fighting each other.

Dixie Carter told Sting he was suspended for 30 days. That's it. It was stupid. I hate Sting and how he sucks now. Sting said he is indefinitely suspended, good riddance. Sting hasn't been good in a looong time.

Jeff Hardy defeated Abyss w/ RVD special guest Referee

This match was back and forth, and relatively extreme in nature. There were a lot of different moments where I thought this match was over, but it wasn't at all, it just kept going, and after some back and forth, this match broke down into a brawl. I thought Abyss would win since his heel turn is in full effect. Jeff Hardy hit a botched swanton on Abyss and won with a pinfall.

Towards the end of the show, Anderson ran down with a chair and attacked Abyss. Then he hit Hardy with a chair! Before we got any answers Abyss hit his finisher on Anderson, and the show ended. This match sucked, the show sucked, TNA needs to stop putting so much effort in a “Kane” clone. Just sayin.

If you mixed Kane + Mick Foley's Mankind, you'd get Abyss.

Did Anderson turn? I don't know...I just don't know, and frankly, I don't care.

TNA Impact 6/3/10 Review

Sting Showed up, and I was already bored, I hate this crap…sting sucks, he hasn’tbeen good since 1994, and even that is reaching far.

Samoa Joe and Sting were supposedly ready to have a battle, but instead it ended with Joe winning most of the match up, but then Matt Morgan came out, and again we get a cluster of a finish, if you can call it that.

Hogan came out when Bischoff couldn’t change a main event or something, I don’t know, this whole thing was so convoluted.

Roxxi defeated Rosey Lotta

I’m so tired of the women of TNA wrestling for less than 2 minutes. It’s interesting to see things develop into crap, right? I’m so sick of the divas and sick of the knockouts….this match sucked. I hate this crap.

This sucks so bad, I can’t believe I have to watch this…well…I guess I don’t have to watch it.

Jay Lethal defeated Aj Styles and Kaz in a triple threat match

This match wasn’t that great, in fact, I thought it sucked. I liked Lethal’s old parody gimmick, and don’t really care for his new gimmick. Sure he can wrestle, but so can a lot of guys, but that doesn’t mean I want to watch them. Styles sucks as a heel and Kaz just sucks. These idiots put on a passable match, but once again, it was short and full of fuzzy spots. Jay Lethal wins, and that’s that.

Post match, Kurt Angle came out and exchanged words with Flair and Kaz, and after a few moments, had a little moment with Flair. After holding down the ropes for Flair, he attacked him, only to get attacked by Kaz. I guess “no talent” on the mic Kaz will face Kurt Angle? Who cares! Gagh!

In ring Christy Hemme’s forehead was shining when Anderson came down and got on the mic. He announced that himself and Jeff hardy will face Beer Money at Slammiversary. I’m not 100% but I smell a swerve coming.

Hardy and Anderson were on the mic, and they talked about how they could beat up Beer Money and what not. Beer Money came out and started talking about random crap.

Anderson then berated Beer Money with some observations and got a few chuckles. I don’t mind promos, but these exchanges take up a lot of time during shows that should be dedicated to pro-wrestling. I’m just saying.

Beer Money beat up the good guys, and that was that. The two fought until security ran in and broke it up.

Jeff Hardy defeated James Storm

Hardy is getting fat, and I’m not the only one that has noticed, am I? He’s a little slower, he’s not trying as hard, and maybe it was James Storm that is to blame for this “slug fest” rather than a wrestling match. Sure, Hardy had a few moments, but it was painfully obvious that this wasn’t an instant classic. Storm introduced a chair and Hardy used it to his advantage, as a springboard. Despite putting up a quality effort from James Storm, Hard won this match with relative ease at the end. I saw it coming, I’m sure you did too. Hardy sucks, he needs better competition and a reason to actually do well, instead he’s lackluster and looking to be gaining weight like his fat ass brother Matt.

Robert Roode defeated Mr Anderson

This match sucked. Anderson barely had any offense, and in the end another roll up ending. I’m so sick of seeing such crappy wrestling, and this was another terrible match. This match was just bad, seriously bad, don’t watch it, if you haven’t seen it.

Abyss & Rob Terry defeated Desmond Wolfe & Orlando Jordan

Rob Terry is acting injured or legit injured, meanwhile Abyss is no longer under the power of the “ring”, is he? I don’t know. He sucks, let’s face it. Despite Desmond Wolfe getting a TON of the TNA voting, he is in this mash up of a piece of crap tag team match. Can you even call this a match? This was fast, and wasn’t even a good match, it just sucked. After some weird interactions between Jordan and Chelsea, this match was over, and Rob Terry got the pin.

So far TNA Impact this week is a complete waste of time.

A huge piece of time was taken for an interview with Jay Lethal…at least that’s what I was watching (stream).

Backstage Jesse Neal was knocked out cold with an Ace on him. That was it. I’m sure that was Orlando Jordan’s card, but I don’t know.

Samoa Joe & Rob Van Dam defeated Matt Morgan & Sting

This match was back and forth, but really managed to highlight Matt Morgan’s strengths more than anyone elses. Matt Morgan seemed to have full control until he saw someone that looked like Super Mex in the crowd, and that’s when Samoa Joe hit the Muscle Buster on Morgan, but couldn’t capitlize. Matt Morgan was on the floor, and Rob Van Dam flew down with a Five Star Frog Splash to get the win.

Post match RVD and Samoa Joe stared each other down.

And that’s the end of the show for me, I guess.

TNA Impact 5/20/10 Review

I dread having to review TNA Impact, and missed it live, because I was traveling to Cambridge, Idaho. I’m back now, and am going to update reviews all around…

The show opened with Eric Bischoff, and the announcement of who the top ten contenders are for the TNA Championship.

The top 10 rankings were announced from #10 to #1.

#10 Samoa Joe
#9 Rob Terry
#8 Desmond Wolfe
#7 The Pope
#6 Abyss
#5 Mr. Anderson
#4 Jeff Hardy
#3 Aj Styles
#2 Kurt Angle
#1 Sting

This doesn’t make sense. The TNA Ranking system DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL! That’s right, this is BS! The voting didn’t count, the whole stupid system is dumb, and worthless. I hate this, TNA sucks, whoever is booking TNA sucks. Seriously, FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS! FIRE EM! This makes absolutely NO SENSE NO SENSE AT ALL! This is the worst promotion ever, not even WCW 2000 sucked this bad.

Sting came out and attacked Eric Bischoff with a baseball bat! Abyss came in to help, but got beat up. Jeff Hardy stole the baseball bat, and the two would stare each other down….they’ll fight each other later tonight.

Sting kicked Hardy in the nuts, and was ready to hit him with a bat, when Rob Van Dam came out and things changed….whatever.

Roxxi defeated Madison Rayne

Roxxi is back and she doesn’t look nearly as good as I remembered her.

This match was fast, and wasn’t all that great, with Roxxi winning after the Voodoo Drop. This was stupid. I am starting to really hate the knockout division. The match was one sided for the most part, and wasn’t all that good, and was disappointing, to say the least.

Kurt Angle came out and cut a promo, he said that he would wrestle all the top 10, and won’t be #2. Whatever. No one cares about Kurt Angle.

Orlando Jordan defeated Rob Terry

This match sucked, apparently Terry had a messed up knee and he was getting worked. Orlando won but it didn’t like Rob tapped, and that was that. What a stupid match.

Rob Van Dam & Jay Lethal defeated Beer Money

This too was stupid. I don’t believe that Beer Money should be losing to a hot shot team. It was interesting to see, and it had some good spots, but overall this match wasn’t worthwhile. RVD and Lethal win with relative ease, and that was that.

Post match, Ric Flair came down and fought Lethal on the ramp all the way back to the backstage area.

Sting came out and attacked RVD with a chair, and hit him in the head…it was stupid. The weakest chairshot to the head I’ve ever seen.

Abyss was supposed to get Chelsea for 30 days, and upon transferring ownership, Desmond Wolfe kicked him in the nuts and then broke a bottle and cut him. Yes, he used a broken bottle to slice Abyss in the arm, then he was going to slice Chelsea too. This was so stupid, seriously, this was just stupid, I don’t understand what TNA is thinking. I hated this segment, and there’s no need for it…I’m sick of this crap. FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!

Erik Young defeated Shannon Moore

I never thought a Piledriver would be so devastating. Young won this match with the classic move, and this match was stupid. Team 3D got involved with Jesse Neal, Scott Hall cost Moore the match. Bubba ray ran down and beat up Jesse Neal at one point too.

Scott Hall got arrested this weekend, so maybe that’s going to be over too.

Bubba Ray, post match, yelled at Neal, and no one could stop him. It’s stupid.

Kaz won a X-Division Battle Royal

This match was lame too. Sure there were some high spots, but KAZ sucks, and him steam rolling through the X-Division doesn’t make sense to me. The X-Division is just an afterthought at this point.

Jeff Hardy defeated Sting

This match was all Sting, that’s right, Sting had this in the bag. Anderson got involved and did a Scorpion Death Drop on Sting, and Hardy won. This match was stupid.

I heard that Sting has a messed up shoulder.

Anderson then raised Jeff Hardy’s hand, and was trying to be his friend. Hardy then pushed Anderson and this was just an odd segment. The crowd was cheering Anderson completely, and it seemed like he was being turned face. However, before anything could develop Sting brought in the baseball bat and started to fight Hardy and Anderson with the bat. Such a stupid event.

I hated this night of TNA, I think it’s the worst wrestling show on tv, and they should just go back to classic wrestling, instead of what it is right now.

TNA Impact 5/13/10 Review

The show opened up with Eric Bischoff in ring, talking about the poll and what the fans want. However, they forget to mention that Desmond Wolfe has 80% of the votes. Oh well.

Bischoff claimed that Jeff Hardy was nowhere to be found, and that RVD had the night off. The prompted Aj Styles to come in and interrupt.

Jeff Hardy eventually came out and talked trash, setting up a triple threat match for the end.

Tara defeated Taylor Wilde

Tara beat up Taylor Wilde in this match, and won very short, not really competitive match up. It was stupid to me, I didn’t like it at all. The knockouts division has really gone downhill.

Backstage it looked bad for Chelsea, as a ton of security was hovering over her, crying. Meanwhile Desmond Wolfe was trying to throw the camera crew out.

Brian Kendrick defeated Douglas Williams

This match sucked, it was short. Kazarian wanted to get his belt back, but nope, it just served to distract Williams, and as a result, was rolled up in a short, and boring match.

Matt Morgan vs Generation Me

This match was basically Matt Morgan steam rolling through Generation Me. I’m not sure who won, but it wasn’t Generation Me.

Samoa Joe came down and beat up Morgan, including a sick Muscle Buster.

Post match, out came Kevin Nash and The Band, and they cashed in their Fest or Fired Briefcase, winning the World Tag team titles off of Matt Morgan.

That’s the end of the title run.

Ink Inc defeated Team 3D, Beer Money, and The Motor City Machine Guns

This four way match was fast, and full of spots, with no real psychology to speak of. This match wasn’t all that great, but it did feature some good action. Shannon Moore got beat and was bleeding in his ear, probably from wearing ear rings while wrestling. Ink Inc won, but will not get the titles this weekend, I’m sure.

Big Rob was ready to defend his title against Abyss, but backstage, Abyss was being arrested. He then was about to get jumped by Desmond Wolfe, but police stopped him. Apparently Abyss assaulted Chelsea?

Hogan was backstage trying to help out, but it didn’t help.

Orlando Jordan ran into the ring and hit Big Rob with a low blow, and left his hand there…in a very awkward and “gay” nature. Orlando then hit Rob with a lead pipe, and left a “Wild Card”.

Orlando Jordan defeated Tyson Tomko

This match was awkward to say the least. Tomko is fat. Orlando won with a guillotine choke hold. Jordan hit a back stabber, which was weird, and well…Jordan is most likely going to win on Sunday.

Tara defeated Sarita

This match sucked, and was a disgrace man. I’m so sick of the Knockouts. They used to be so good, and now? They aren’t as good. Tara won by hitting Sarita with her knee brace, and that was that.

Aj Styles defeated Jeff Hardy, and Rob Van Dam

This match was interesting to say the least. Not so much because the match was that good, but because we got to see the top 3 guys in TNA. All in all, it had its moments, nothing too extreme. Rob Van Dam got hit with a ddt on the outside, and Anderson came in and interfered. Aj Styles utilized the ropes for leverage to win this match up.

Post match, Hardy called out Anderson, but Anderson didn’t oblige.

However, out came Hulk Hogan came out, and forced Anderson to get back into the ring. Hardy fought off Anderson on the floor, and the two brawled. Hardy jumped off the broadcast table through Anderson, through a table, for no apparent reason.

This week of Impact sucked. It made no sense at times, and the actual wrestling was not that great. I didn’t like it. I’m tired, dead tired of TNA Wrestling.

TNA Impact 5/4/2010 Review

The show opened up with Jay Lethal pretending to be Ric Flair. He was doing really well and he was getting the crowd going really well. Ric Flair came out, and Jay Lethal dropped character and apologized and completely changed his demeanor. It was great, it was great, Lethal was wearing the ring. It was a great segment, I loved it, I absolutely loved it. The crowd was booing the crap about Jay Lethal’s impersonation.

He then cut a promo about how he wanted to be Flair and it was a tribute, not an insult.

Ric Flair and Jay Lethal started to brawl and Lethal put Flair in a figure four and out came the calvary. They all beat up Lethal and thrust him into the main event scene.

I did noticed that it seemed a little racist considering four white guys were beating up one Black Machismo, one of them whipping him with a belt! Now, I normally don’t give a crap, but after listening to last weeks smart wrestling fan, Joe “The Idiot” Negron has me thinking about race relations in TNA!

I don’t think it is racist, but I’m sure I’ll hear about it on the podcast circuit.

Hogan and Bischoff were on a limo and turned it around and showed up to ringside as a brawl was happening with half of the roster beating each other up. Hogan beat up the bad guys, and then set up some matches for later tonight.

The most important thing to note from this opening of Impact is the fact that the show would include Desmond Wolfe and RVD for the title tonight, which is what the tna fans wanted according to votes on their website.

Ink Inc defeated Kendrick and Doug Williams

This match wasn’t half bad, it featured a new tag team that looks similar and could end up being a great force to contend with in the TNA roster. The match was fast, and relatively short.

Post match Kendrick and Williams got into an argument, but Samoa Joe stopped both of them on their way to the back and knocked them both out, and then dragged Kendrick into the ring and hit a muscle buster.

Joe shaved his “heel” beard, maybe he’s not a bad guy anymore.

Backstage Anderson was dressed as an Altar Boy and was beating up The Pope, and eventually smashed him with some equipment before walking away. I thought it was clever and a naturally progression of their feud.

Jeff Hardy came down and beat up Anderson, then stripped him, and got him to agree to a match.

While I like the feuds, I like Anderson, and can appreciate a match, I feel like the show is setting up too much too fast, without any wresting to go along with it. In fact, we’re an hour into the show, and only one match has occurred.

The Beautiful People defeated Taylor Wilde, Tara, Sarita

This match was short, it sucked, and featured minimal wrestling. The Knockouts used to put ona great show, but now? It just sucks.

Team 3D vs The Motor City Machine Gun vs Beer Money

This match was lame. It was thrown out after some good back and forth action, by The Band.

Apparently, Erik Young is now part of the Band? Not even a close swerve, lame. This match sucked, the swerve sucked, and the whole thing was stupid.

The O Zone featuring Orlando Jordan started and it was sick. Rob Terry was not on the show, it was a cardboard cut out.

Rob Terry came out and beat up Orlando for a moment, but then got jumped by Orlando and it was crazy, and reminded me of the old Goldust violence. Jordan than grabbed this huge pot or fountain looking thing and dropped it on Terry! I like this slow build to a feud, and it’s a breath of fresh air. They aren’t giving you the match just yet, they keep building and building, and it will explode, soon enough.

Aj Styles defeated Abyss in a monsters ball match

This type of match usually is at a ppv, not on free tv, which is fine, if given time. This match had some great timing, with Abyss getting the best of Styles a lot of the time, with weapons and more. Even though Abyss hit some heavy artillery, Styles had a hard time fighting the big man. Abyss got distracted by Chelsea and cost him the match. The finish was rushed, but it had a few good moments, so it wasn’t a complete throwaway.

Rob Van Dam defeated Desmond Wolfe

A fast match, but it had all the good spots that you would expect. Desmond nearly had the champ, but after a huge Five Star Frog Splash across more than half of the ring! I liked it, it was short, sweet, and worked out well.

The night ended with Hogan and Sting arguing and ended up with Double J trying to beat up Sting, before the night ended.

Overall not a terrible Impact, and they are now moving to Thursdays, and I actually liked the show. I think there’s a TON more people on the roster, but 2 hours? I guess they need something like 3 hours to fit it all.

TNA Impact 4/26/10 Review

The TNA finally does something good, a recap of RVD’s journey to the TNA World Championship from last week with some good overall music. I liked it, but I’m not so sure about the rest of the show.

Hogan started the show in ring and gave some speech, and it wasn’t half bad, and he introduced MR. TNA Rob Van Dam and the crowd was going nuts…which is a nice change of pace.

Madison Rayne defeated Angelina Love and Tara in a Knockouts Title Triple Threat Match

This match was scary. There were some poorly taken bumps, and it just looked painful to me. Despite the women getting a little bit of time, the match just seemed forced, and not even Tara could carry the weight. This match ended with a roll up, and it wasn’t even that good.

Post match, Tara fought off Angelina Love, and security ran out to separate the two. I like how these two girls now have a separate feud, away from the title, and it can make for an interesting turn for the knockouts division. I am loving this post match feud. Good job TNA!

Kazarian defeated Shannon Moore

This match was relatively short, and wasn’t all that great. Moore has this thing locked up, but Matt Morgan ran down and interfered after a ref bump, and the match was over with Kazarian getting the win. This match was way too short, and lame.

Post match Samoa Joe came down to ringside, and he has a “heel” beard. Samoa Joe came out and hit a Muscle Buster on Kaz. Looks like we’re getting back to the old school joe where he had 4 star matches for the title.

Sting & Aj Styles defeated Jeff Hardy & Double J in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

This falls count anywhere tag match was interesting to note, but it was hard to watch. The two teams were going at each other quite well, and it just seemed like they hot shotted these match with no clear psychology…but I guess I can find common ground if I try really hard.

The match itself wasn’t all that good, it featured the normal punch type thing, but what seemed weird to me was that Sting and Hardy were yielding to “tag team” rules, which is stupid! Why would you tag in a falls count anywhere match?

During this match Sting left the ring and disappeared, but Double J found him and they battled to the rafters.

Hardy and Styles fought each other outside the ring. Jeff went to the top of the ramp and then pulled out a ladder, and went to the top for a Swanton Bomb on Styles, but Sting pinned Jeff Jarrett in the rafters, ending the match, without any jump from Hardy.

This match was stupid. Stupid rules, Stupid crap!

The Pope came out and started talking about how he hasn’t forgotten Aj Styles. However, he was interrupted by Anderson, and it looks like Pope has his new opponent in Pope. The two started to fight it out, and it should be interesting.

Anderson put his thumb in the eye of Pope and security had to break things up.

Matt Morgan & Jesse Neal vs Team 3D no contest

This match wasn’t given much time, and it was quite boring to watch. The match got about 2 minutes of the way through before it was interrupted by The Band. Team 3D fought The band on the ramp, and Matt Morgan beat up Jesse Neal in ring.

Shannon Moore saved Jesse Neal from getting further beat up and the two formed a tag team, since they both have Mohawks? What the heck!

Bischoff talks about the ranking system. You can vote for your favorite on TNA Wrestling online.

Orlando Jordan cut a weird promo, and he said that next week on the “O-Zone” will be Rob Terry, the “Freak”.

Ric Flair defeated Abyss

Then

Abyss defeated Ric Flair

Flair immediately busts himself open, and Abyss basically rolled through the old timer. This match was just sad, and Flair is way past his prime, way past. This is beyond sad, as the blood poured down Flair’s face. The match, despite having Flair busted open, was won by Flair after he brought in some Brass Knuckles.

However, the match was restarted after Earl Hebner found out that Flair used Brass Knuckles.

The match restarted and Abyss won, end of impact…man what a terrible show.

Who cares about the hall of fame rings? who cares? TNA Did an ok show last week only to return with one heck of a gamble against a stacked 3 hour raw show.

Rob Van dam defeated Jeff hardy
Team Hogan defeated Team Flair
Rob Van Dam defeated Aj Styles to win the TNA Heavyweight Champion

TNA Impact 4/19/10 Review

Aj Styles came out and cut a lame promo. Despite the fact that he’s the champion, he sucks on the mic. He was interrupted by Rob Van dam, who looked exactly as I remember him. The crowd was chanting his name, and apparently he’s most likely going to get a shot at Aj next. Will he win? I don’t know. I thought for sure The Pope was going to win last night. Oh well.

Hardy came down, and then Hogan came down, and the crowd went nuts, for no apparent reason.

Hogan cut a longwinded promo, that just made me want to fast forward, but I wanted to see where this was going, so I paid attention, despite being bored. So RVD will face Hardy to see who’s the #1 contender.

The Beautiful People defeated ODB & Daffney

This match was stupid to say the least. It wasn’t much of a match and really was just as rushed as anything the WWE Divas have ushered out. This match sucked, and the division now sucks too.

Abyss gave a random promo, but I don’t care about Abyss, so I tried not to think about it too much.

Team Flair came out and beat up Double J and Abyss. Big Rob came out to help out. That prompted Bischoff to come out and get on the mic,

Rob Van dam defeated Jeff hardy

This match was given a good amount of time, and while I could tell RVD was winded and Hardy was phoning it in, the match progressed nicely, and eventually yielded us a number #1 contender. I enjoyed the match overall, but it wasn’t necessarily that great. There were some good spots, but it was obvious that RVD was winded and not necessarily ready for a title shot later tonight.

Team Hogan defeated Team Flair

This match was basically a rehash of last night’s match only without a cage. The match was your standard match up, which wasn’t all that great. It seemed forced and rushed, and then out of the blue out came a dude with a random beard…a heel turn beard? No. It was Samoa Joe and he bulldozed all of Team Flair’s guys. Joe returns with no advancement of any major story line! This is lame.

Rob Van Dam defeated Aj Styles to win the TNA Heavyweight Champion

This match was interesting to say the least, it had a few good spots, but it seemed that Aj was way better than RVD in terms of stamina. Although Styles put on some good moments, it was Rob Van Dam with some quick reversals and moves to counter Styles’s onslaught. In what was a relatively short match, Rob Van Dam becomes the NEW TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

In my honest opinion, this makes Pope’s lack of a win somewhat lame. Rob Van Dam wins? I don’t know…I am not buying it, but whatever. RVD is finally a world champion.

Post match they gave a HUGE celebration to RVD with a lot of people coming out of the back and then Team 3D raising him on their shoulders. This was ok, but eh, Rob Van Dam has yet to prove he can still go.

I was all set to review this, but some joker put up an NSV file and I couldn't find anything that worked with it, so here are the results and NO review.

Because Doug Williams was unable to make the show, he was stripped of the X- Division Championship. So a four man Xscape Match was set with the winner of the bout taking his spot in the Triple Threat match for the X-Division Championship: Homicide defeats Brian Kendrick, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin by escaping the cage first.

Tna Impact 3/5/2010/ Review

On a night special time, here is the latest Impact review.

The opening segment featured Abyss, Hogan, and Double J started the show. Abyss got on the mic and delivered a promo that was lame, Hogan started talking too, I was tired.

Ric Flair showed up with his team. Desmond Wolfe, Sting, Beer Money and Aj Styles are going to be a team for Lockdown. Abyss and the other guys were in ring, nothing really happening.

Double J tried to talk to Sting, but Sting hit him with a Scorpion Death Drop, and then Flair ordered his guys to run down. RVD and Jeff Hardy started to come down to save the good guys and everyone started to fight. Man, this is so boring. This is like WCW 2000 all over again folks.

Rob Van Dam defeated James Storm

This match sucked. Van Dam is a talent, but he didn’t look all that good in this match. He just had random moves and what not. James Storm hit RVD in the head with a beer bottle after the match, but he won this one. James Storm looked fat and out of shape. RVD has had way better matches.

RVD was playing up the broken bottle injury as a million security guards came to the ring.

Big Rob defeated Homicide

This match was a squash. Homicide got a few shots into the match but overall, the match wasn’t all that great. Big Rob took a sick shot to the head with a chair after the match, but he no sold it.

Orlando Jordan showed up and poured some white stuff on himself, it was weird.

Ok, the Knockouts had a random match, it was to win keys that open up locks?

I was so frustrated with it, that I don’t even remember who won what key or whatever. The Knockouts division sucks now. They totally ruined it. Man, I’m so frustrated with Impact and it’s only ½ way through the show.
Anderson defeated Angle in a ladder match

This ladder match was boring me to death. Then out of the blue Angle fell out of the ring and it looked like he was dead. He really had a bad fall, and things started to pick up. Angle hit a sick top rope missile dropkick on the ladder was amazing. The rest of the match was ok, and the ending showed Anderson choking out Angle with a medal around his neck. It was sad. The match was for a key to the cage? Whatever.

Matt Morgan now has a dual personality gimmick? I hate my life sometimes.

The Motor City Machine Guns vs Team 3D

This match was going ok for a while, but it got boring, but luckly it was saved by The Band. No, I’m kidding. This match sucked. The band spray painted the machine guns and knocked out 3-d, and that was that. This night of impact seriously sucks.

The worst thing in TNA right now is The Band.

Doug Williams defeated Generation ME

Doug Williams beat both guys in Generation Me in singles matches. Nothing too special but it was interesting to see Doug do his moves.

Post match Shannon Moore attacked, and that was about.

The Pope vs Desmond Wolfe

This match kind of happened, but I went to the kitchen to check on dinner and this match was over. I don’t think anyone won this match, as Aj Styles ran down and beat up The Pope.

Desmond brought in a fire extinguisher and hit Abyss with it.

The women ended up opening some random strong boxes, and it was stupid. Tara got her spider back, Angelina Love is the new Knockouts champion, and Daffney had to strip tease.

I love Daffney and this was kind of hot for me, but come on! It’s a wrestling show.

Lacey Von Erich came out and stripped after hitting Daffney with the ugly stick.

TNA Impact 3/29/10 Review

I’m dreading reviewing this night of wrestling, how can they top WWE, HBK’s Farewell Speech and Wrestlemania? Simply put, they couldn’t do it.

Hogan talks to Jarrett and gives him a chance at Aj to get to the #1 contender spot.

Black Machismo showed up and he was talking like Macho and doing his thing, apparently he’s still in TNA.

Bubba The Love Sponge came out with The Band or whatever, and he is now the official interviewer? It’s funny, it sucks, I hate it. They called out Erik Young and offered him a spot in the Band, and didn’t go for it. Erik fought but got out numbered fast, before being saved by RVD and Jeff Hardy. Either way, this sucked…I’m alreadyhating on TNA, it’s only been a few minutes. This start smells like WCW.

Shannon Moore & Kaz defeated Doug Williams & Brian Kendrick

This match was ok at best, it was fast paced and didn’t offer a whole lot. Kendrick got beat up then post match was painted with lipstick by Shannon Moore. This match was lame…sorry.

The Pope cuts a great promo, and it wasn’t half bad. Chelsea came down and distracted him for a while, but before Desmond Wolfe could attack, Pope fought him off. The Pope is solid, a shining light in TNA. Too bad he won’t get the title any time soon.

Orlando Jordan came down from the rafters wrapped in Cross the Line tape, and was just…well….gay.

Tara defeated Daffney

These two women fought in a first Blood Match, and it was interesting to me. Daffney’s hot, I like her. Tara, well…she’s had better matches.

Aj Styles defeated Jeff Jarrett

This match was ok, it lasted a lot longer than I thought, but it wasn’t necessarily that great. Aj cut his hand open, oddly enough, delivering a low blow against Jarrett, who had a guitar in his arms. Bischoff interrupted the match and brought in a guitar. Aj Styles got beat, but the ref was out and out came the interference. I didn’t like it. It was kind of boring, and Jarrett is back down.

Black Machismo defeated Beer Money

Somehow someway Jay Lethal won this match up. It was a terrible match, but I guess Lethal getting a win is not half bad.

Desmond Wolfe defeated The Pope

This match was actually going quite good, and while it did have a few moments it ended up turning into another match ending with a foreign object. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t the most thrilling of matches.

Kurt Angle cut a promo on Anderson.

Erik Young, Jeff Hardy, and Rob Van Dam defeated The Band in a Steel Cage Match

This was a very crowded steel cage match up, and it was interesting at times, but not really. Erik Young was targeted early on and was outside of the match for a good portion of the match up. However, Erik Young climbed to the cage and dropped a huge elbow, which wasn’t half bad. He basically killed Pac, I liked it overall!

Abyss announced that his first tag team partner for Lockdown will be,

Anderson and Angle will wrestle in a ladder match next week.

This night’s impact was ok at best.

Jeff Jarrett defeated Mick Foley w/ Beer Money as Special Guest Referees
Rob Van Dam & Jeff Hardy defeated Beer Money

Tna Impact 3/22/2010 Review

Impact opened with Bischoff playing Spanish Guitar and it was kind of cool.

Eric Bischoff challenged Double J to play guitar, then taunted him. Jarrett was ready to hit Bischoff with a guitar but didn’t, and ended up walking away.

DOUBLE J came back and smashed the crap out of a guitar on Eric Bischoff’s head! The crowd went completely ballistic, and I was going nuts too! Right on JEFF!

Backstage Jeff got a standing ovation from Mick Foley.

Foley will fight Double J and one of them will be fired. Lame.

The Beautiful People and Daffney beat up Tara.

The Beautiful People & Daffney defeated Tara, Sarita, Taylor Wilde, and Angelina Love

These girls can wrestle when given time to perform. The match was standard fare, nothing was really sticking out to me. Daffney and Tara’s feud might end up lasting a lot longer, as the two couldn’t avoid a collision course in this match.

I think that the women’s division in TNA is great, but I’ve seen the same 8 people over and over again and it’s starting to bore me.

Tara hit a sickening Widow’s Peak on Lacey Von Erich, and I thought this was done, but nope, Daffney hit a nice finisher and pinned the Knockout champion! I liked it. They call it the Lobotomy neck breaker and it looked awesome.

Backstage Aj Styles and Ric Flair arrived. Flair is still in a wheel chair and Styles on crutches. A hilarious arrival to the Impact Center, and not half bad for the two idiots of TNA; otherwise boring two in my opinion…

Hogan and Abyss cut a promo…boring. I don’t care about Abyss. I don’t care about Hogan either. I thought they were going to bring change to TNA, but recently it’s just been a bore.

Ric Flair came out and cut a promo in his wheel chair, and Aj Styles talked crap…I don’t know, Styles can’t talk, and he sucks. I’m hating on this after watching 3 hours of PPV so give me a little break here.

Sting shows up and locks Hogan in a corner. Styles throws away his crutches and Abyss gets beat up by Styles. This makes absolutely no sense to me.

The Pope’s music hit and he ran down to the ring. He did a number on Styles and Hogan & Abyss took turns mopping up Styles, and Pope hit his finisher.

Big Rob Terry defeated Tyson Tomko

Tomko is so fat it’s embarrassing. Terry rolled through Tomko with relative ease. I didn’t hate this match but Terry has to be on so much roids it’s ridiculous. Whatever, he reminds me of a super jacked Ken Shamrock.

Jeff Jarrett defeated Mick Foley w/ Beer Money as Special Guest Referees

This match was 20 years too late. Jarrett might be able to still go, but Foley is so past his prime, and in his books he promised he was done and not going to be one of those guys that retires than comes back again….then again there was Wrestlemania 2000 wasn’t there? Nevermind.

Foley was taking bumps on the Ramp, which was odd to me. Jarrett and Foley managed to put on a watchable encounter. A chair was thrown into the ring, Mr. Socko came into play and hit Jarrett with it. Foley took a shot to the head with a chair, then Double J hit the stroke on a chair, and it was done. Foley is fired.

Not a great match, but it was passable.

Post match Beer Money beat up Jeff Jarrett without mercy. I don’t really care for it.

Jeff Hardy’s music hit and out came Hardy & Van Dam for the save.

Matt Morgan vs Hernandez

These two fought each other and it looked like Hernandez hit hard and was injured….not really! Well I don’t think so anyways. TNA is supposedly sending Hernandez to Mexico, so this is an easy way to get him out of the company for a while. The match was all Hernandez for the most part, but Morgan injuring him means we’ll get a new tag team championship partner or a new team? Not sure.

Rob Van Dam & Jeff Hardy defeated Beer Money

Hardy and Van Dam worked well together against Beer Money and of course Beer Money was quite good. I didn’t hate this match, as it was given a good amount of time to develop and played to the strengths of all the participants.

A nice Swanton was followed by a Five Star Frog Splash and this match was in the books!

Erik Young showed up to the middle of the ring and said that next week there will be a Six Man Tag.

Pac, Hall, and Nash vs. Erik Young, Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam! I hate six man tags.

Oh well.

Tna Impact 3/8/10 Review

TNA has a new theme and entrance, which reminds me of the Attitude era or Thunder opening. Overall it’s nice to see them change things up a little, with this live edition of Impact.

There was a lot of hype regarding the first five minutes of TNA, but the first five only really had Hogan and Abyss in ring. The crowd was going nuts for TNA, chanting TNA loudly, causing Hogan to have to weight a little longer to talk about. Hogan then cut a promo, which bored me…cause I’m tired.

The first match was none other than the hyped match up that was advertised all week. The main event was actually the first event, which seemed odd to me.

Hulk Hogan & Abyss vs Aj Styles & Ric Flair

This match was interesting as Hogan and Abyss were getting pummeled with relative ease, the lights went out and I hated this crap. STING showed up in the ring and protected Hogan and Abyss? This seemed like WCW crap to me, not change or anything!

But then Sting attacked HOGAN AND ABYSS! The swerve! I can’t believe I got swerved! Aj Styles grabbed a chair and nearly killed Abyss with it, and then Flair hit Hogan in the skull with a chair, busting him wide open! Sting left the ring and let Styles and Flair beat the crap out of Abyss and Hogan. I had mixed feelings about this.

On one hand, I don’t mind, on the other hand, this is just the same style of booking that made WCW famous at times.

Hogan changed the rules and added a NO DQ clause, so that there would be a winner no matter what.

The match didn’t continue, and the cameras were sent backstage to follow Sting. Sting choked out Dixie and said “I OWE YOU NOTHING” and it was just awkward.

Then quick cut to Flair and Styles getting interviewed.

Brooke Hogan & Hogan’s girlfriend were backstage, and it was sad.

Kaz was in ring and cut a stupid promo. That dude sucks. Kaz was interrupted by Christopher Daniels, and he said that he was going to lead TNA into battle. However, Daniels got buried a few weeks ago so I didn’t care about this at all.

Doug Williams interrupted, and walked down the ring, and cut a random promo against the two idiots in ring. Eric Bischoff made a triple threat match for the X-Division title match and it started immediately.

Doug Williams defeated Kazarian and Christopher Daniels in a triple threat x-division title match

This impromptu match started sloppy, but started to move forward quickly. Williams was most impressive to me, while Daniels and Kazarian seemed a bit off for some reason. Kazarian nearly killed himself with a huge flip over the top rope onto his opponents. I’m surprised he didn’t hit his legs on the guard rails, it was really close! Kazarians top rope double dropkick was a great spot in this one, and I was surprised the match went on for this long. Doug William’s Chaos Theory Suplex was the most impressive finish I’ve seen in a long time. He managed to get the pinfall and win this triple threat match.

Post match Shannon Moore ran down and attacked Doug Williams, and looked to have surprised Williams with relative ease.

Bischoff announced that Shannon Moore would fight Doug Williams at the ppv for the title.

Dixie Carter forced Sting to fight later on tonight, but it was for a mystery opponent…oooooh…..awwwww….who could it be?

The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) defeated Taylor Wilde & Sarita and Tara & Angelina Love in the women’s tag title match

TNA stripped the belts from Hamada and Kong since they couldn’t defend the title in 30 days…or because Kong quit.

This match wasn’t half bad at all, it had some good moments, but out of the blue Daffney ran in and hit Tara with the Women’s title belt and caused The Beautiful People to win the titles.

Daffney was wearing this amazing corset of source that really had me going for a few seconds….nevermind.

Backstage Desmond Wolfe attacked the pope, hitting him with a chain on the injured ankle.

RVD defeated Sting

ROB VAN DAM showed up to TNA and literally just killed Sting. A top rope kick to the head and a quick move and he pinned Sting 1-2-3.

Post match Sting fought off RVD with a baseball bat. Then just left the ring. Way to debut huh? Stupid. Way to kill the momentum.

Hogan came out bloodied, and was charging to the ring to fight Sting, but a ton of security held him back. Meanwhile, Sting hit RVD with the bat, then hit Hogan with the bat.

What a terrible night for Hogan.

Kevin Nash & Erik Young will face Hall & Waltman at Destination X. If Waltman and Hall beat Nash and Young they get a contract! I smell a Nash heel turn…we’ll see.

Erik Young defeated Six Pac

These two light weights battled it out in an impromptu match up and it wasn’t half b ad. I was actually impressed with Pac’s flexibility and speed. Young was definitely hanging in there toe to toe, and the two put on a cool match. Young hit a nice Piledriver and won the match. This was fast, but I liked it.

The US Army surrounded the Impact Zone and Kurt Angle called out Mr. Anderson. Anderson was backstage and Angle immediately dragged him to the ring, and the two brawled in ring. Anderson tried to leave but was stopped by U.S. Army! This segment was gold, and Angle threw Anderson back in the ring! Angle was then tossed out to the ring and was beaten up by the ARMY! I kid you not! The Army was like Lumberjacks and they were getting them some Anderson! I liked this! SOLID! Anderson was getting worked over by both Angle and the recruits, and the impact zone was going completely ballistic! I was going Ballistic on the couch, cheering on Angle, which is rare for me. Angle hit an Angle slam and left Anderson in the middle of the ring, beaten and nearly bloodied! This segment was gold!

The Army ran inside and lifted Angle on their back! This was amazing, great segment. TNA DID SOMETHING RIGHT!

Beer Money defeated Jeff Jarret with special guest referee Mick Foley

Mick Foley stopped a backstage brawl, and Double J was getting worked over huge. This was just a glorified beat down. Storm and Roode punished Jarret with everything but the kitchen sink, but Jeff did manage to get a few shots. Jarrett got a comeback going and looked like he could take on the former tag champions. Jarret was about to use the barbed wire bat on beer Money but a new ref ran down and stopped it. Beer Money then hit hard and beat Jarrett. Double J's burial continues, and I'm not sure if he'll ever rise up the ranks.

Backstage Brooke Hogan was on screen talking to Hogan. Hogan promises his daughter that this will be his last match ever.

Hulk Hogan & Abyss defeated Ric Flair & Aj Styles in a no dq match

This match was restarted under NO DQ rules, and was a really good ending in my view to a halfway decent show. Flair was busted open big, and he was bleeding a river. This is kind of sad, but heck, what are you gonna do? Hogan was pummeling flair's face with right hands, and just killing him.

Here's a random thought. If it's no dq why did Abyss and Styles not interfere with Hogan literally killing Ric Flair?

Styles got the hot tag and fought Hogan. Brooke Hogan kept showing up on camera and was acting as though this was real.

The match broke down with Abyss hitting his finisher, Hogan hitting a leg drop, and Abyss getting a black hole slam on Styles for the win. He'll face Styles for the title at Destination X.

Post match, Desmond Wolfe came down and attacked with a chair. However, out came The Pope for the save. Wolfe was cleaning house, but got chop blocked by Aj Styles. This prompted Jeff hardy to run down to the ring and hit anyone that was still moving. He hit Wolfe with a great finisher then the Twist of Fate and the crowd went nuts! The feed cut out as Hardy was flying through the air on the bad guys.

FINAL THOUGHTS!!!!

Overall I liked TNA better than Raw. I can't believe they actually put together a good show. There were less skits, more wrestling, and stuff I actually cared about.
