TNA Impact 3/15/10 Review

TNA Impact opened up with a Hummer arriving. Abyss, Hogan, RVD, and Jeff Hardy showed up together, and are now at Impact! I smell 8 man tag coming.

The opening segment had Aj Styles and Ric Flair in ring cutting their heel promo. Flair cut himself wide open and I liked it, it made him look completely insane. Styles and Flair called out Hardy, and after coming down, Styles got in his face and called him a nobody. I liked this segment, not half bad. Hardy got the last laugh in this one.

The Nasty Boys took out Jesse Neal backstage.

The nasty Boys & Jimmy Hart defeated Team 3D w/ Brother Runt

Brother Runt is now in TNA!

This match was your standard match up that these guys could throw together. Jimmy Hart got involved at one point, but only minimally. This match sucked, to say the least. The Nasty Boys won this match up.

Post match Team 3D put Sags through a table. That was that.

Kurt Angle & The Pope defeated Mr. Anderson & Desmond Wolfe

This match wasn’t much of a match, it was somewhat short, and it featured some ok moments. Angle had most of this match in the bag, Pope got some good shots in, despite having a bad ankle. The Pope got a roll up, and it was ok at best. It’s funny that Pope can turn the ankle injury on and off.

Post match Angle got hit with Anderson’s finisher, and Anderson took Angle’s medal yet again. Anderson then busted Angle open with his own warrior medal.

The Pope and Desmond Wolfe fought each other to the back of the arena.

Angelina Love vs Daffney

This match was interesting, for a moment. Well, only to the extent that Angelina Love got thrown into the side of the ramp. Daffney is still hot to me…even if she was an honorary Beautiful People member. Angelina got beat up afterwards, and was saved by Tara. Tara hit everyone that moved and then hit her Widow’s Peak. This was a throwaway match and was relatively boring to me.

Hogan was in ring calling out Sting, and when Sting was down from the rafters, RVD jumped him! Hogan then was given Sting’s Bat and Hogan nearly killed Sting. Eric Bischoff came out and stopped Hogan from killing Sting.

Scott Hall defeated Kevin Nash 5 Minute 25,000 Dollar Match

I’ve already seen this match in WCW. It sucked then, it sucks now, and this was a boring match with Kevin Nash just hitting Hall with some big right hands.

This match was boring, Six Pac ran in and handcuffed Nash and beat him up with help from Hall. Then Erik Young came down, only to get beat up. This match was lame.

Beer Money defeated Hernandez w/ Special Guest Jeff Jarrett

Hernandez got into this match when Bischoff saw him talking to Jarrett about taking on Beer money. Hernandez put on an ok fight, but ended up losing after Beer Money hit the DWI.

This match was ok, it was short and I got tired of it fast. Beer Money are now heels? Whatever. Tna is sucking it up now.

Bischoff was going to cut Foley’s hair, but instead Foley gave Bischoff the mandible claw…lame. Bischoff then shaved Bischoffs hair…whatever.

Generation Me & The Motor City Machine Guns started brawling in ring. The x-division guys hit the ring, and it was ok.

However, when Kaz ran down to the ring with a ladder he nearly killed The Fallen Angel! I thought he killed himself. Red jumped off a ladder onto like 5 guys, it was good segment, although completely rushed.

Jeff Hardy defeated AJ Styles

Why they threw away this dream match on free tv is beyond me. Aj loses with a pinfall count by Abyss. This was a decent match, but nothing all THAT great. Hardy going over the champion makes Aj look like a crappy champ.

Post match, Abyss throws Ric Flair through the RAMP! That was cool.

Overall the show was weaker than last week. I’m tired.

TNA Impact 2/26/10 Review

The opening of Impact was all about Abyss. Aj Styles opened the show and cut a boring promo. Ric Flair cut a lame promo against Hogan and Abyss. Abyss came down and got verbally yelled at by Flair, and looked stupid, wearing the hall of fame ring. Aj just stood there looking like a chump. I didn’t like this segment and I hoped for a better TNA impact, this wasn’t good…it got tiring. Abyss started to talk randomly, and then started to get serious.

Hogan came down to the ring before anything major broke out, and Hogan just started to cut a promo against Flair and Aj Styles. This, I suppose is setting up the Monday night Impact tag team match up for a couple of weeks.

Team 3D defeated The Nasty Boys in a tables Match

I don’t hate the nasty Boys. I don’t hate Team 3D. I have seen many better matches from the two of these, and this wasn’t one of the better ones. It wasn’t as bad as many people think, and the match at least had the tables element to break up the street fight action. This match broke down with Jesse Neal coming to help Team 3D and the Nasty Boys losing by getting tossed through a table. This match wasn’t that great, but I’ve seen worse from TNA in the past.

ODB defeated Daffney via dq

I like Daffney. I think she’s hot. But she can’t put together a good wrestling match as this one broke down with ODB getting beaten up with a broom etc. Daffney goes nuts again. It sucked.

Beer Money cut a promo, then Hernandez came out and said they’d give them a title shot. I didn’t care.

Bischoff talked to Double J, who stormed into the office. The two will talk about stuff in the ring later in the show.

So far this show was a waste of time.

Kazarian defeated Brian Kendrick

This match was just a burial of Brian Kendrick. A short match, that didn’t feature a whole lot of action, and it looks like Kazarian is on the fast track to winning to x-division title.

Big Rob defeated Mr. Anderson

Big Rob pinned a lifeless Mr. Anderson. Anderson was hit with a chair before the match begun by Kurt Angle.

Abyss defeated Desmond Wolfe

Abyss beat Desmond in a fast match. There wasn’t much to it.

Post match Abyss was getting beat up by Flair and Styles, and Abyss was handcuffed to the ring ropes. Hogan came down for the safe but was busted open by Flair and Aj. The Ring gave Abyss powers and he eventually busted open the cuffs and saved Hulk.

This is THE WORST TNA IMPACT ENDING EVER! TNA SUCKS!

TNA Against All Odds 2010 Review

The Pope D’Angelo Dinero defeated Desmond Wolfe

The Pope was impressive, but that doesn’t mean that Desmond Wolfe wasn’t on top of his game. This match was actually really good and Wolfe impressed me more than anytime I’ve seen on impact thus far. I really enjoyed how the two went back and forth to create a good overall pace. It was never too fast, never too slow, and the psychology of the moments were more along the lines of a technical masterpiece than anything else. I wish that the wrestling world was always this good. The Pope is solid, it’s amazing that WWE let this guy go, because his timing and skills are really good, and the crowd loves it. The Dinero Express was awesome, and Wolfe couldn’t overcome the powers of the Pope. The Pope advances in the 8 card stud tournament in a good overall opening to the ppv. The Pope and Wolfe both had great moments. The superplex from Wolfe was great, the Pope leap frogging Desmond and hitting a sick flying, twisting forearm was just brilliant; one of the best matches I’ve seen so far this year…yeah…I know, rare.

Ric Flair was hunting down Bischoff and tell him he had a problem with the referee for tonight’s main event.

Matt Morgan defeated Hernandez

The tag team champions had to face each other in the 8 card stud tournament, and I was surprised that management didn’t make a bigger deal about it. Then again, this isn’t wwe, and they aren’t going to split them just yet, I think. These guys do compliment each other’s style, when they are tagging I matches, but not against each other. Super Mex looked to have dislocated his shoulder on a bump to the ramp, Morgan couldn’t catch Hernandez, and this match just had botches and problems left and right. Hernandez eventually lost this match with Matt Morgan pulling the tights and putting this match out of its misery. The first match was good, this one sucked.

Mr. Anderson defeated Kurt Angle

Far from a four star match up, this one was actually quite good in a potential feud that could last a long time. Mr. Anderson was all heel in this match, and while Angle had some highlights and had Anderson reeling, Anderson never looked like he was going to lose. Angle got busted open with his own medal and after hitting an exposed corner got hit with the mic check, and lost to the rising star Mr. Anderson. It was a standard match that wasn’t half bad. I liked it for the traditional style, and Angle losing after talking such big stuff before the match was good overall.

Abyss defeated Mick Foley

Foley and Abyss barely put on a match worth mentioning. It was an extreme rules match and it was just terrible. Foley is way past his prime and really looked lethargic overall. I was tired, and Abyss wins. He was sad after the match.

The Nasty Boys defeated Team 3D

This was one poor showing. I’m not as hateful on the Nasty Boys because I’ve seen them have epic matches in NWA and WCW but this was not a young Nasty Boys. This was a terrible fat nasty Boys and a fat Team 3d. Slow moving, terrible moments, just a sad display, I was bored and hated it. This sucked. Face it, it sucked, I hope this is all over. The feud that is…man did the ppv take a nose dive. Oh and Jimmy Hart showed up to help the Nasty Boys win...same finish as when they beat the hart foundation for the titles.

The Pope D’Angelo Dinero defeated Matt Morgan

This was an interesting match that saw The Pope hitting much technical wrestling on a much bigger Matt Morgan and cutting him down to size. The Pope was like a buzz saw in this match up, he kept hitting Morgan in the legs, and moving out of the way at key points, eventually getting the win. Morgan was no slouch though, he hit some hard shots too.

Mr. Anderson defeated Abyss

Anderson has beaten Abyss before, so this rematch definitely threw some doubt in the airs as to whether or not he can advance. Anderson put on another show of talent, but we all knew he had more to give than that one back suplex that nearly injured Randy Orton. Abyss sucks right now, and while he had some shots on Anderson, Anderson won the match up. The whole “ANDERSON” thing is great in promo’s, just fyi. Abyss didn’t look like he was going to win, although it wasn’t a walk in the park for Anderson either.

Aj Styles defeated Samoa Joe

This match wasn’t half bad, Samoa Joe threw a lot of offense at Aj, and Styles still managed to hit some major hits. Joe looked like he was going to win but Flair pulled him out before he could win the match and Styles capitalized after the fact, Styles hit the Styles clash and Bischoff had no choice but to count the three, and it was all over. This wasn’t a four star classic, but it wasn’t terrible at all. Joe threw up a good effort and styles is always interesting to watch at a ppv.

Scott Hall and Six Pack attacked The Pope backstage before his match with Anderson.

The finals of the 8 card stud tournament was the main event, and it featured two of the top up and comers in TNA. It would be interesting to see who would come out on top.

The Pope D’Angelo Dinero defeated Mr. Anderson

The Pope was visibly winded and hurt after the attack and Anderson was not letting up at all. Anderson met The Pope on the ramp and was just attacking straight forward. Anderson was stunned with how much life The Pope managed to create towards the middle of the match up. This match was long and really was methodically paced. Anderson had The Pope defeated at most steps in this match up and I thought it was going to be all over several times. The crowd had the wind knocked out of their sails as Anderson hit the mic check, but when The Pope kicked out, all bets were off. Anderson hit a rolling finisher, but missed a dive off the top and The Pope Express ended this match up, and the Pope was left standing at the end of the night. Anderson was out cold.

TNA Impact 1/21/10 Results and Review No Change in Sight

TNA has been preaching change for a few weeks now, and it’s interesting to see how things are going, the recap of Genesis looked actually good, I don’t know what the podcasts were talking about. Maybe It’s just cause I didn’t see the whole thing and the recap was really condense, or maybe TNA is actually moving forward for a change. We’ll see….

Tna Impact 1/21/10 Review

Ric Flair and Aj Styles arrive backstage in a limo with lots of women. I don’t mind them changing Styles a bit, but he just seems out of place, regardless.

They changed but yet they still have that lame “rapcore” music? Lame.

Ric Flair came down the ramp with two of the ugliest girls I’ve seen in professional wrestling in a long time. Flair cuts a classic “I Hate Hulk Hogan” promo, which was recycled from 1994. He wants to wrestle Hogan yet again. He claims Aj Styles is going to be the next Ric Flair? Lame. Aj Styles came out and sucked the life out of the room, he’s just not that over with me. Styles just has the charisma of a wet noodle, no matter who his manager is. He shouldn’t talk, let Flair talk for him.

Hogan and Angle interrupted, and I kept wondering where the change was. This seems like WWF 1999 recycled. 20 minute opening promos and what not. Hogan announces that Angle will get another shot at the TNA title! This time Ric Flair can’t interfere. The match is going to be tonight!

Hernandez & Matt Morgan defeated The British Invasion

Not a bad match, a lot of good back and forth action from both sides of the coin. I thought the British Invasion was going to win, since they are more of a traditional tag team, but they tried to cheat and it back fired, creating a rift between the team. I think Matt Morgan is definitely better than I pegged him a few months back, and it’s interesting to see him get some gold. The British Invasion looked to be on the verge of splitting up, but post match we couldn’t really get anything out in the open.

The reason for that was that Mick Foley jumped in and leveled the British Invasion with a chair, and wanted an appointment with Eric Bischoff.

Orlando Jordan defeated The Pope D’Angelo Dinero

Not a terrible match, The Pope looked strong early on, and if it weren’t for his pesky knee injury from the ppv, he might have put away Jordan. Orlando Jordan didn’t do anything crazy to impress me, but he was smart enough to go for the injured leg, so maybe this is just the beginning of better things for Orlando Jordan in TNA. I liked the match for what it was, and look forward to seeing both these guys in TNA in the near future.

Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne

This was a quick match, with no major wrestling that I can speak of. I don’t like the fact that Angelina Love still looks like a member of the Beautiful People, but I can get behind her attacking her former friends. The numbers game catching up with Angelina was great too, and this is not half bad.

Hogan and Bischoff constantly in ring talking about change and what not is getting really tired. They once again get in there and start airing dirty laundry and talking crap, it’s boring to me. I don’t need that, I need better wrestling; Scott Hall and Waltman basically got fired during the promo, with Hogan getting both ejected from the building and saying “you don’t work here”, get out! Will they rehash their “Outsiders” gimmick now though?

Mick Foley came out to talk, but security had him escorted out.

The Nasty Boys defeated Erik Young & Kevin Nash

You know, I didn’t hate this match, and I might be one of the only fans of the Nasty Boys. I think they can cut promos and they can wrestle. Just watch their feud with the Steiner Brothers in NWA and you’ll understand what I mean. Sure they aren’t as good or as young, but they put Erik Young through the ringer and pinned him clean. Sags took care of most of the work, but this math wasn’t terrible.

Mr. Anderson comes out, and he’s not as over as he was when he was in the WWE that’s for sure. He does have potential in TNA which is something that you should consider in regards to his arrival in TNA. I liked how he used brass knuckles in his win at Genesis, and I think if used right, TNA could go far with Anderson. Heck, I’d prefer Anderson instead of Styles as not only champion but also Ric Flairs protégé. Anderson’s promo was quite good overall, and Abyss showing up to surprise him and attacking was quite good too. I liked it, this is the only bright spot in TNA’s show tonight! Well that and the Nasty Boys match, I hope the continue to do more feuds like this. Anderson is gold on the mic, and it’s nice to see him in TNA.

Aj Styles defeated Kurt Angle

I feel like TNA keeps feeding me the same thing over and over again. We blame WWE for repetition, but here we get it from TNA for months and months on end! Oh and no sign of Samoa Joe or many other talents on the roster. This feud is reminding me of HHH vs The Rock in 1998 where for 8 months they wrestled each other often to draws or interferences. It finally ended in a ladder match at Summerslam, and I hated that back then, too many repetitive matches with the same guys. Here we get it again, even if the match is good, I’m tired of seeing it. The match was going well and out of the blue amidst different counters, Earl Hebner tells the time keeper to ring the bell!

Oh man, TNA rehashes the Montreal screw job! Yep. I kid you not folks, TNA recycles a 12 year old angle (no pun intended) out of the blue. Angle then starts yelling, and Hogan comes out and Angle spits in Hogans face. Angle says he is going back to WWE!

This is seriously the worst thing I’ve seen in TNA in a long time.

Eric Bischoff comes walking down the ramp and his head is busted open, and he’s bloodied. He fires Mick Foley and that’s the end of the show.

Final Thoughts:

This show sucked. It had two moments I really liked, and the rest of the time it was just stupid. TNA talked big about change all month, and what they've done is just rehashed old story lines, made Hogan look like Vince McMahon circa 1997 and just making no sense.

This show sucked. Face it.

WCW The Nasty Boys vs Public Enemy Legacy

For some reason, WCW hired Ecw mainstays "Public Enemy" to their roster for the sole purpose of having them get beat up all the time. After that wore off, they decided that it was time for them to start pulling the curtain at ppv. They ended up constantly fighting with The Nasty Boys. There was a ton of memorable moments between the two tag teams as they were notorious for working stiff.

I recall one match that I can't seem to find often, involved some great moments from these two teams, and that was at Bash at the Beach 1996! The two teams squared off in a double dog collar match and they couldn't break this table. This table was landed on by both teams from the top rope and it just wouldn't break and you could hear the table buckling and bouncing wrestlers off. This was a great moment in extreme wrestling.

Well, both teams are no longer in wrestling fans heads, but I still loved watching the two teams go at it.
