TNA No Surrender 2010 Review

The PPV started with the arrivals of the wrestlers to the arena. Nothing crazy, just handy cam footage. I'm not sure why this is entertaining, but then again, I can't really say that TNA has a whole list of entertaining things, half of the time.

This is basically a telegraphed ppv, and year for TNA. Angle will eventually get the title and that's about it. That's it.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me

The opening match was set to stun, and it was definitely an interesting one, but I can't help but notice the lack of in ring psychology from the two teams involved. There were several instances where the Motor City Machine Guns hit 6 or 7 moves back to back to back and so forth on their opponents, and yet Generation Me was still rolling around fighting, and getting up. Do these move have NO impact? It just doesn't make sense to me. As for entertainment value, this match had a lot of great tag team moments, and featured a lot of back and forth action. This is a great opener, had a great deal of spots that just proved that there is need for a deeper tag division. Even with my complaints, this match delivered, and got the crowd into the night, and while I knew that the young bucks weren't winning, I was at least entertained, and well, I give TNA credit for actually giving tag teams a little more time. It's only a matter of time before Nash & Sting get the titles though...just saying.

The one thing I didn't like, is that the announcers kept talking about how it wasn't "Christian" of sorts for Generation Me to beat up the Motor City Machine Guns after the match. I'm sure many will cite that, and try to say that they are "not" being very christian like...which is why I never like to throw out my religion when discussing anything I professionally do. Heck, if I make a sandwich is it a "christian" sandwich? just sayin.

Douglas Williams defeated Sabu

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Sabu and Williams were actually telling a story for a change. I was surprised at the in ring psychology in this match. Williams focused on rest holds and isolated Sabu's arm at first, and was trying to stop Sabu's high powered offense, and was having a hard time doing so. Sabu kept trying to add his "hardcore" style to the matches, but was thwarted by the ref or by Williams. I give Williams some credit, because he got a lot out of Sabu, and it wasn't just a spot fest. Sabu has slowed down a bit, but he still can put together some quality moments, without resorting to all weapons etc. That being said, this match was better than I thought, and really had a good balance of Sabu's hardcores style vs the more traditional mat wrestling style. I actually thought this one was good...even with a botch, and some blown spots. I'm not sure every wrestling fan will have the same view of the match that I did, but I loved it, that's for sure. Sabu was in some obvious pain, and dare I say...was "selling" and was actually "wrestling"?!?! This slower style really was complimented, and while some of the crowd was chanting "boring" and booing the action, I liked it a lot. I absolutely loved the table spot in this match, it was done with a serious "brain". Williams was placed on top of it, then looked up visibly to see where SABU was and Sabu flew through it, and that was that, the beginning of the end. Doug Williams distracted the ref and hit Sabu with the title belt to win. A 3 star match from these two? Wow...I was impressed for once.

Velvet Sky defeated Madison Rayne

This was probably one of the worst women's matches I've ever seen. There wasn't much saving grace here. While I think Madison Rayne has a pretty face, she can't wrestle, and this match was stupid. I hate the knockouts division now....they need more depth and Awesome Kong etc. Whatever. I hate the divas and the knockouts now. What a waste of ppv space.

Abyss defeated Rhino

I've already seen this match many times. I hate Abyss and I'm not a fan of Rhino. This match was terrible. I don't mind hardcore matches, but this one sucked, it was slow, it was dumb, and it just further proves that Abyss is a one trick pony and Rhino is past his prime. I was bored, you were bored...no one cares about these two idiots.

Oh and who's "THEY"? Who kidnapped Samoa Joe? Ugh...TNA, by mid point sucked the life out of this ppv.

Samoa Joe & Jeff Jarrett defeated Sting & Kevin Nash

This match was stupid. I'm tired of the old idiots. I'm sick of seeing Jarrett. Samoa JOe did the majority of the work in this match, but the old guys could barely bump to his offense. Sting is past his prime, it was very evident here. Double J used the bat to get the win, and that was that. This match sucked, and TNA turned an ok ppv into some of the worst wrestling since WCW 2000. Samoa Joe knocked out Sting with his submission move...whatever...NO ONE CARES ABOUT THESE GUYS!

WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE?!??!?! FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS! WAY TO RUIN A PPV TNA MAN I'M SO SICK OF THIS PIECE OF CRAP.

Aj Styles defeated Tommy Dreamer in an I Quit Match

Tommy Dreamer gets pummeled and beat down in this "I Quit Match". Aj STyles won by stabbing Dreamer in the eye with a fork. Yep. I kid you not. This was stupid...this match sucked. STyles barely broke a sweat, Dreamer looked as though he was carrying a keg through the whole match up. Man, this ppv had promise and just totally went down hill. Dreamer looked like he was crying, Styles is a shell of his former self...this sucked. You don't want to see this trash.

Man, I wish I could hang out with Christy Hemme...and her huge forehead.

Angle's telegraphed wins are start to tire me so much.

Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle (NO CONTEST)

Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle were trying to put on a clinic, and I didn't hate it. I thought that they worked their asses off in this match, however, I've already seen both of these guys go to war with differeng people and each other and I'm not really that surprised. I wasn't really into the match, and I kept thinking, ok, Angle is going to win soon etc etc. The match went to the time limit with a draw, and Bischoff declared over time...TWICE! After a long drawn out battle, and two restarts, I finally started to get into this match, and thought that the two might be able to capture my imagination, evne for a second. Angle was busted wide open after hitting the steel steps, and that became a factor in the over time. The time limit once again expired, and Hardy & Angle were still trying to go...buuuuut.....Angle was "bleeding" too much and Bischoff was in the ring and trying to give Hardy some time to recover.

After a long pause, and I do mean long...Bischoff got on the mic and said that the match was a NO CONTEST...so lame...so lame. There were a LOT of spots here, lots of impact moves, lots of reversals, lots of kick outs, 5 years ago this match would've been 4 stars. I liked it enough, but it just didn't hold my attention nearly as much as TNA would have liked me to enjoy it. I don't care about fat ass jeff hardy and past his prime angle...i just don't.

Ken Anderson defeated The Pope D'Angelo Dinero

This match, might have been the longest match I've seen Ken Anderson in since leaving WWE. The Pope was carrying a good amount of this match up, and Kennedy was looking a big more Flabby then he usually does. Dinero was favoring his left shoulder for a good portion of this match as Anderson had been focusing on that in many ways. Despite these two trying really hard, the match just dragged on at a few points. Even the crowd as over this ppv as they were silent through most of the two's offense. I haven't seen or heard a "deader" crowd in my life during parts of this match up. There were some major botches here, and after The MIC check was blocked a bunch, and then kicked out of, this match was just looking to be a parody of a good wrestling match. I was ready to throw in the towel on this ppv at around 2 hours and 45 minutes, and didn't see how they could've saved the match, even with The Pope's third come back. After THREE MIC Checks throughout the match, Ken Anderson advanced...which is surprising to me.

Oh and didn't The Pope have a title shot due him? Whatever...I'm sick of this crap.

This match shouldn't have been the main event, it sucked. Ken Anderson was barely sweating, he phoned it in, Pope carried him for a good amount of the match, and I was just tired...I'm sick of this crap.

No Surrender started of good, but after the second match, this thing cooled to ice...what a terrible PPV. This is a high candidate for the worst ppv I've seen all year...yeah, worst ppv all year! I'm so sick of this promotion...such a lousy ppv. NO ONE HAD BETTER HAVE LIKED THIS...WHAT A TERRIBLE NIGHT OF WRESTLING! LOUSY! LOUSY LOUSY! FIRE ALL THE TNA WRITERS!

I'd rather have no alternatives than to keep watching this piece of crap wrestling promotion. WCW 2001 was better...yeah, I said it.

Eric Bischoff Lies

On Thursday Night Eric Bischoff said he hadn't seen anything worst than the EV2 beat down...oh really?

Here's some examples that you guys can take to the bank!

NWO vs. Four Horseman War Games 1997

1 Year after Sting left WCW or rather decided to be "The Crow" and still get paid. The Four Horseman reunited to fight off the invasion of the NWO and they gave the Enforcer spot to Curt Hennig (although I remember him as Henning, but whatever). Well, he turned on the Horseman and this nasty shot was cleverly produced...and well...I know wrestling is "fake" but then again? This is worst than the EV2 beat down, take a look:



Goldberg vs. Scott Hall Ladder Match (part 3)

Ok, so maybe this isn't that bad, but come on...Hall gets electrified...literally...or figuratively...I dunno.



Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero & Billy Kidman vs. The Insane Clown Posse & Vampiro

Once again, Bischoff saw this...all I need to say is "INSANE CLOWN POSSE"!





Then there's this:

The Outsiders come in and it looks bad, looks like Eric himself takes a stiff shot to the gut, "YOU DON'T JACK US AROUND!"



These things are interesting, and I'm sure you guys can think of other things Bischoff has seen that are worst than that beat down. I know, the examples above are just not big...but the first one was. I was tired...give me a break.

I recall Vampiro being set on fire.
Hak vs Raven vs Bam Bam Bigelo
Hak vs Bigelow
Villano IV's neck being broken
Raven vs DDP on mtv live

So many other instances worst...but I guess no one remembers.

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.

Sir Jorge's Pro Wrestling Mail Bag 1/21/2010

I promised you guys a new segment that featured your comments, and here it is. I have been toying with this idea for quite some time and finally got around to doing it.

I really suggest that you guys comment, even if it's to trash my writing. I could use the conversation, as I have nothing better to do. You can always email your comments if you have to.

Also, if you have a few cents donate or buy something from amazon online.

Before we get started, isn't it funny that they fired that broke ass scott hall wanna be Escobar? Hahaha!

here are your comments and my 2 cents:

I am reading this blog from Serbia.Good rewievs.
Sory for may bad english,I am bad in writing the words,but understend all perfect.

Just to you to now that somebody read this blog outside USA :)

Hello SERBIA! I'm glad that you're enjoying my comments on wrestling and such, makes sure you keep reading, and writing. Thanks for your comment.

Shane said in regards to my post for ECW 1/5/10:

It's killing me what the WWE is doing with Mark Henry, and especially Kane. They've become the equivalent of professionally paid jobbers. I remember Kane's debut. Soon after it, he got both the Hardys in a double chokeslam and ko'd them both. Now...a loss to Ziggler (even worse, a clean loss). As for Mark Henry, basically the same principle. The company is very stupid with their talent sometimes.

Shane, you're absolutely right. I remember the Big Red Machine was a dominant force. I recall feuds with Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin where he was in there gaining a foothold in the mainstream wrestling. He even had good feuds with "fake kane"...ok so it wasn't that great, but it's funny to see WWE drop the ball on him. Could it be that Kane is just not that into his role anymore? Maybe it's not all wwe. I'm not sure.

As for Mark Henry, I've never been a fan. I've absolutely never been a huge fan of Mark Henry, but he did start to get a decent push and some crowd reaction. Now? He's stuck in midcard hell again. At least he's not impregnating Mae Young or anything.

Shane also said in regards to my wwe monday night raw review from 1/4/10:

I was impressed with this episode of RAW. Jericho was great and I'm gonna miss him. Guess I'll have to start watching Smackdown more. The tag match was great. I enjoyed the conversations between Michaels/Vince and Bret. RAW beat TNA fair and square tonight and I don't see TNA becoming "number one" anytime soon.

You're right. The tag match at the 1 hour main event mark was some of the best tag team wrestling I've seen out of WWE on Raw in a long time. He'll pop up, I'm sure, if wwe can make money with Jericho they'll put him back on Raw, and through his comedic efforts he'll get back in. Remember, though, this is not new Jericho. WCW Jericho did the same thing with the Cruiserweight title and finding loopholes to hold onto it, even after losing to Rey Mysterio and others. So it's just vintage Jericho, and that's fine by me. He'll be back, that's my two cents.

TNA was terrible by comparison. Hart and McMahon finally getting something going is long overdue. I liked it. I was definitely excited for this Raw and they somewhat delivered.

shane also said in regards to TNA 1/4/10:

I watched RAW instead. All I saw was the Steel cage and hardy's return. sounds like i didnt miss much though.

Hardy's return was one of the worst returns in wrestling history. That cage match was one of the worst cage matches in history too. Overall TNA talked change, but they didn't change much. On a sidenote, I might be the only fan left of the Nasty Boys.

Thanks for the comments.


dag8ownar said in regards to my WWE Monday Night Raw 1/18/10 review:

This show bored me, but it didn't suck that much it had its moments. Taker promos are getting stale, i think he should turn heel again. There were a lot of squash matches, and that's what i really hate about Raw. The divas actually did a better job this time.

And i'm sorry about you being unemployed. I really want to help but got fired from my job too. I watched Raw on a stream.

Cheers from Chile.

HELLLLO CHILE! Or should I say Hola! Do they call people from Chile chilango's? I know Mexican's are sometimes called that (I would know), but none the less, thank you for reading and commenting!

The show was boring, you're right. Taker is definitely not as good as "heel" taker. He need to be more demonic, in my view. Remember when he kidnapped Stephanie? He also crucified Steve Austin! He was more dominant with a stable, now he's just not that great.

The divas did indeed improve, but their finish was boring.

As for me and my job, I guess I might end up working at McDonalds...which is tough for me to admit. I'm a college graduate with a lot of experience as a manager. Oh well.

Finally, want to see a great comeback? Unlike Hardy's comeback?

At ECW's Guilty as Charged ppv they had a surprise return and it was Pscyho Sid, he came down to the ring and just chokeslammed Kronus to hell...here is the video:



Keep the comments coming, I could sure use the opinions, and I'll comment back via these mail bag posts. Thanks again to all that commented in the past week or so, your thoughts are important to the future of this site.

Tna Impact 11/26/09 Review

I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving, I had a good one until my brother in-law decided to be a jerk and I decided to walk home. Now I have a chest/head cold. I woke up this morning and there was no signs of an apology, so I guess I have to be the bigger man, and just not worry about it.

Just like WWE, TNA had a tournament for the #1 contender

Lashley defeated Abyss

TNA apparently was trying to desperately get ratings, because these matches were thrown together. At least WCW had the knowledge to create “Battle Bowl” for these unique match ups to be paid for by the fans on ppv. Lashley seemed frantic, trying to prove to everyone that he could wrestle, and therefore was hitting a lot of power moves, clotheslines, and constantly moving forward. Meanwhile, Abyss was taking punishment, and fighting forward, with both men not getting totally in control. Even after Lashley hitting some big moves, Abyss wasn’t just jobbing out. Lashley hit a spear and a dragon sleeper, and this thing was over. Seriously? A dragon sleeper? Ultimo Dragon should be back…remember when he slipped on his cape in WWE?

Desmond Wolfe defeated Suicide

This was the most predictable match I’ve ever seen. Desmond Wolfe tried to make it interesting by having Suicide counter some moments and fighting back, however, it wasn’t all that great. Wolfe seemed out of place, and Suicide just didn’t seem to have it all together. Desmond Wolfe eventually got the pin after The Tower of London, but man, was he green out there. Oh well, it cuold’ve been worse. Desmond Wolfe will face Lashley later.

Kurt Angle defeated The Black Pope

The Black Pope was in full control of this match, despite Kurt Angle’s superior wrestling prowess. The pope got a lot of good overall offense in, and he was looking really strong against Angle. However, despite all the hot spots, Angle simply reversed the offense and momentum and won the match without really doing much work at all. This match was interesting, but Angle’s quick win was out of left field. I didn’t hate this match, and Angle will go on in the tournament.

Robert Roode defeated Homicide

This was actually kind of cool. Finally a tag team singles match goes the way of the tag team. Now, I don’t want Roode going solo, but it was cool to see that a tag team contender could actually do well against another opponent. I know, this happens often, but after Homicide’s embarrassing appearance on ODB’s show, this was definitely something I liked to see. Homicide has gone down hill in a lot of ways…ever since joining the World Elite.

Tara won a knockouts battle royal

Traci Brooks, The Beautiful People, Sarita, Taylor Wilde, Tara, Hamada, and Daffney Knockouts Battle Royal
W/ referee ODB

This match was a battle royal of sorts. It was actually not wrestled quite well and with the commercial breaks this match seemed too rushed. Tara eventually won, and this thing was over, it wasn’t that great. The knockouts could do way better. No Awesome Kong or Raisha Saeed…at least not a big impact. Oh well…

Bobby Lashley defeated Desmond Wolfe via disqualification

This match was basically a fierce Wolfe squash. Lashley didn’t get much in and Desmond Wolfe really pushed his luck, getting disqualified and losing the match. I didn’t really like it, but I liked where the tournament was going.

Robert Roode defeated Kurt Angle via countout

This match was surprising. Robert Roode hung in there with Angle for a good portion of the match. Move for move Roode and Angle were going back and forth, with no one getting a real edge on this match up. It was a shame when Desmond Wolfe came down to distract Angle because the match was over. Angle was counted out for fighting against Wofle on the ramp…and Roode advances.

Aj Styles and Christopher Daniels had a little scuffle in ring, at least verbally. It was boring, and I didn’t care. I wish the Fallen Angle persona would come back and he wouldn’t be on the mic.

Bobby Lashley defeated Robert Roode

This match was a slow, and Lashley obviously was confused at parts of this match up, with a lot of referee stoppages, and moments where it just seemed that Lashley was lost. Roode was obviously tired, and this match started slowly. I didn’t really think that Roode would end up winning, as I’ve heard that Lashley doesn’t want to be a major player in professional wrestling for too long. The match ended up going well towards the end, with a lot of near falls, and huge hits from Lashley. Roode hung in there though, and after even hitting a nice Fisherman’s Suplex, I thought this one was in the books. However, nope, Lashley hit some hard power moves and it was all over.

TNA Impact Results 10/29/09

Sometimes things happen that is beyond my control. Well, last night I guess I had some control, but it messed up the TNA review as we know it. I was trying to watch the new episode of The Office, but accidentally canceled the TNA recording, so I didn't get impact to review this morning. I usually do it in the morning because I go to bed earlier than most...due to my wife's work schedule.

So instead of a full review, here's the results. I'll have a full Smackdown review for you though, so stick with me.

Tna Impact 10/22/09 Review

TNA Impact immediately started with Kurt Angle coming down to the ring to start speaking on whatever it is he’s mad at this week. Kurt Angle was bad mouthing the main event mafia and others, it’s lame; I’m sick of Kurt Angle, seriously, that dude needs to take time off from the mic. Rhino came out and started yelling, then Team 3-D came out and started yelling and Security had to be called down. Lame intro to TNA that’s for sure.

Homicide defeated The Amazing Red

Homicide didn’t wait for this match to start in the ring, he attacked Amazing Red on the way down to the ring, and the two battled it out on the floor in this x-division match up. Homicide was on his game, he was attacking at will, hitting a lot of great things, but it was Red who was impressive, dodging bullets to make sure that he’s not losing this match easily. He was motivated and really fast, but Homicide caught him in a rare moment and the match slowed down from the frenzied pace of the beginning to a more traditional speed. Amazing Red got a second wind in this match up, but after picking up steam Homicide hit the Gringo Killer and won this match up. The Gringo Killer is dangerous, that’s for sure.

Matt Morgan defeated Scott Steiner

Scott Steiner started this match with some offense, but Matt Morgan was no selling the whole thing. Morgan than went forward with his brand of offense, but Steiner wasn’t just going to job out to Morgan without a fight and he started to bring things back into focus. Towards the middle of this match, it was obvious that Steiner was tired and the match really slowed down and while Morgan was hitting full speed, Steiner seemed to be gasping for breath and really out of it by comparison. Outside of the ring Steiner messed with Bobby Lashley’s wife and that prompted “The Boss” to run down and fight Steiner. Lashley threw Steiner back into the ring, and Matt Morgan hit the Carbon Footprint, to win the match up.

Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash defeated Aj Styles & Daniels

This match started out with a melee, bodies flying all over the ring, and it was ok to start off. I didn’t mind it too much as the teams fizzled down into a standard tag team match up, with Styles playing the Face in peril of sorts. Joe and Nash were hitting hard, and it seemed as though they were taking liberties with Styles, but it was all part of their offensive plan against the high flyer, grounding him from going big with his fast paced risk taking offense. Styles eventually tagged in Christopher Daniels and things started to turn around, Daniels was easily taking out Nash and Joe with all of his offense. While I still liked him as The Fallen Angel, he was holding his own against two bigger men, for a short time at least. Styles took out Joe and Nash was left with Daniels to finish this match up. Nash hit a huge chokeslam and this match was done. Not a terrible match, but definitely nothing you haven’t already seen before from these four guys.

Awesome Kong defeated Raisha Saeed

Awesome Kong was getting her revenge on her former partner. She started this match with heavy moves and hitting harder than I’ve seen her hit in a while. Saeed was trying to use her speed to get this thing going her way. Awesome Kong was just too much for her though, as Kong was having her way. This wasn’t a total squash though, as Saeed was able to get a few shots in with some hard shots and quick reversals. Kong hit the implant buster and this thing was over, Awesome Kong got her revenge and it looked like it hurt.

Hernandez defeated Rhino

The two big men started this match fast and it was actually quite good on the fly. Hernandez has really gotten good with his timing in ring, and Rhino, well he’s a veteran of the ring and is always on. Overall this was your standard big man match, there were a few moments with fast paced action, but more power moves and misses than anything else. Hernandez hit the big splash off the top rope winning this match up against Rhino with relative ease.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Lethal Consequences in an ultimate x match

This match started off fast, as it should have. Both teams were on time, and were fast and furious. This of course was an Ultimate X match and it failed to impress me initially, but it had enough gusto to make an overall good match between these two veteran teams. Lethal Consequences had a lot of great moments in this match up, including chain tag team wrestling, and top rope moves. The match eventually boiled down to the team that could hit the biggest and best tandem top rope impact move and this time around it was The Motor City Machine Guns.

Beer Money defeated The British Invasion by disqualification in a six sides of steel match

This match was stupid. Well, it looked stupid, that’s for sure. This was a six sides of steel match, yet the two teams had to tag in to get into the match up? I hate when they do this, why even have a steel cage if you have to follow the traditional “tag team” rules? It just doesn’t seem right, but that’s ok, the match went forward and it wasn’t terrible. Sure it was flawed, but it wasn’t the worst match I’ve seen in professional wrestling nor Tna. Beer Money seemed out of it, and I didn’t think they could pull it off, but they had this thing nearly sewn up at one point with a double team ddt on Doug Williams. Magnus was able to stop the nearfall and it was Williams that went to the very top of the cage but was stopped by James Storm. Magnus then set up an interesting move and things got really scary when they pulled a Tower of Doom that was completely botched! Someone could’ve died, if you saw this, you know what I’m talking about. Beer Money had this match won but Magnus knocked out the ref! A team of refs came running down to stop the match and nothing was really resolved initially.

The British Invasion loses a CAGE match via Disqualification? This makes no sense, seriously, no sense. This really made me hate TNA, beyond compare. How do you get Disqualified in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! SERIOUSLY! TNA SUCKS!

Kurt Angle came out to the ring and called out Desmond Wolf, a new guy that attacked Kurt Angle unprovoked! I like that sort of introduction to new guys. Kurt Angle then started heading back to the backstage area, and was blindsided by this new guy, Desmond Wolf! I liked it, finally, a new guy that just picks fights…like WWE did with their new guy…on Smackdown. Oh well, this thing turned into a brawl right away and it was Desmond that was impressive, with an obvious mean streak.

TNA wasn’t all that great this week. Angle getting pummeled was cool, other than that, a forgettable night of pro-wrestling.

Tna Impact 10/15/09 Review

I’m not sure what happened in the past few weeks with TNA, but this edition of TNA Impact was supposed to be a Super Impact Show! The show was titled “Angle’s Revenge” and really frustrated me from the get go, because I think the how shouldn’t have titles and crap like that, but that’s life. So here we go, TNA Super Impact, 3 hours of wrestling…wow….I’m going to need a nap after this review.

The show opened up with Kurt Angle and the main event mafia in the ring. Angle was in wrestling gear and said he wanted to do things different tonight, and he wanted to make sure he was ready for Aj Styles tonight. Angle started rambling to the rest of the members of his mafia, and it was random, and well…boring. Aj Styles came out with Matt Morgan and the rest of the good guys that will face the mafia at bound for glory. They then ran down and started fighting the Main Event Mafia, and things were going nuts. Once again, this was just like the old Nitro days with the New World Order, making me wish I didn’t review TNA…but I can’t help it I guess. Security ran down and got things back to normal, somewhat, but this was just stupid to me, I haven’t seen TNA in a while, but I know that the last time I did, this sort of crap was all over the show.

The Beautiful People defeated Tara, Awesome Kong, and ODB

Awesome Kong and Tara were fighting outside of the ring, meanwhile ODB was fighting The Beautiful People alone. Awesome Kong then started to walk away up the ramp, leaving her two partners to fend for themselves, and it was somewhat brutal. Well, as brutal as the current state of the knockouts division could be. The Beautiful People are a half step slower than ODB and Tara and this was painfully obvious. This made me not like the match too much, even though it was watchable. It’s still better than the divas match up. Even Tara’s superkick was terrible, but whatever. Tara had a disagreement with ODB, superkicked her, and the Beautiful People got the pinfall.

The Pope gimmick sucks. Seriously, the worst gimmick I’ve seen TNA come up with in a long time. Whatever…this sucks.

Amazing Red vs Suicide No Contest

The Amazing Red, always impressive, is now the X Division champion and was facing the stupid wrestler Suicide. Both wrestlers were going for the exact same moves, and it was a stalemate in the early goings of this match up. Red hit a sweet corkscrew plancha to the floor by Red, and it was just impressive to see Red’s timing. Suicide had a strength advantage, carrying Red and catching Red at times, but it was mostly Amazing Red and his flurry of high spots. Suicide’s rolling slam to guillotine leg drop from the apron was impressive, and it was nice to see the x division getting a good thing going. Suicide was attacked by The Pope and the match was thrown out. Oh well…

Erik Young joined the broadcast team for a little color commentary.

Hernandez defeated The British Invasion in a gauntlet match

Hernandez had to wrestle the whole British Invasion in a gauntlet style match up. Initially he started off with Doug Williams and was doing quite well initially. However, it was Williams that proved impressive, turning around the power moves of Hernandez into a more stable match up. Hernandez turned this thing around and won this one clean.

Brutus Magnus ran down as the second opponent for Hernandez, and was taking advantage of the winded Mexican, getting some pinfall attempts in within a few moments of his match starting. Hernandez put away Magnus with the Border Toss and it was quite well.

The third man of the British Invasion came in, and man, he’s got to be on the roids. Big Rob is massive, and he took it to Hernandez from the get go. He was hitting hard and was wearing out his opponent, with what seemed like ease. While Big Rob was gloating a little, Hernandez hit with a huge powerbomb out of the corner and won this match with ease.

Post match, Erik Young ran down with a Kendo stick and started to mop him up. The British Invasion than hit their finisher, and left the big man laying in the middle of the ring writhing in pain.

Backstage there was a four way interview and that led to the cameras cutting to Lashley and Joe and other fighting backstage. We then got a commercial, then an interview with Kurt Angle, then another commercial, then an interview with Aj Styles. All in all a lot of time wasting by TNA, which bored me and I’m sure bored you too.

Daniels defeated The Pope

Christopher Daniels hasn’t been the same since he gave up his Fallen Angel gimmick. I don’t think he’s that effective as a wrestler any longer. The Pope is interesting, he’s fast and he’s got some skills. He’s another WWE reject, and by the looks of his timing in ring, you wouldn’t know that. In fact, he is like a lighter R Truth in this match as he was taking it to Daniels early on in the match up. Daniels couldn’t really get his offense going, and was actually having problems with The Pope’s constant follow up. Daniels looked like he was done, and it was interesting to see how daniels would fix this, and eventually he made it work, after hitting The Angel’s Wings, Daniels won this match up.

Post match, out came Suicide, so we thought, but it was none other than Homicide dressed up as Suicide, to complicate things further. The match was standard, with the only cool parts being Daniels hitting his finisher, that’s always impressive, at least to me.

Mick Foley came down to ringside to talk about random crap. He sat down on a lazy boy of sorts, had some popcorn and was talking about Abyss. Abyss came out and attacked Foley. Foley then turned on the screen to show Steven Richards look creepy behind a blonde haired woman…most likely Abyss’s girlfriend or something. This segment was just another time waster.

Abyss ran down backstage. We got back to commercial break.

Hamada defeated Alicia Flash in a falls count anywhere match

Alicia Flash and Hamada are two women’s wrestlers that impressed me previously. I think that these two women could really get some good action going, and it’s interesting to see that TNA wanted to make this a falls count anywhere match, which seems odd to me. This was like the old ECW days for sure, this match was interesting, with both women hitting some high risk moves, high spots, and making the most out of the opportunity to have this falls count anywhere match up. It really was impressive to see two women put a match on like this, considering no one really does this type of wrestling anymore. It wasn’t just a plunder filled match up, it was a well balanced wrestling match with the stipulation allowing for a little extra. Hamada hit a nice a jumping ddt on the apron, and went to the skies for the finisher! She hit a picture perfect moonsault off the top rope through a table and Alicia Flash, winning this match, wow, this match was rad. I loved it.

Lashley defeated Rhino in a stretcher match

Lashley is being called, “The Boss”, and he seemed somewhat hurt with his ribs wrapped up. Rhino was attacking Lashley mercilessly throughout the ongoing of this match up. This was also given the stipulation of being a stretcher match, and Rhino was taking advantage of the fact. He was ruthless and showing off greatness against the former WWE star. The match turned around and Lashley seemed to have forgotten about his ribs and was hitting Rhino with some hard shots. Lashley was the only one really moving the stretcher, taking control of Rhino for a good portion of the match up and eventually moving to the back of the arena. Lashley hit a huge slam on Rhino onto a Guard Rail, and I thought this was over, and it most certainly was, Lashley threw Rhino stretcher and all into an Ambulance and this match was done. This was a terrible match up…terrible.

Backstage Mick Foley had fun beating up Abyss with the help of Stevie Richards and Daffney. It was somewhat boring, but oh well, what are you going to do? We then get yet another commercial break, and it was kind of tiring to note. TNA also teased the main event…Styles and Angle, after the break. This show is way too long, and I wanted to give up on the review, but I’ve come so far….

On a sidenote, Shane McMahon just resigned from the WWE…just a quick FYI.

Kurt Angle vs Aj Styles Time Limit Draw

This match was touted as the main event, and it was started at the end of the second hour. I figured this match was going to go at least an hour, but that didn’t make a lot of sense considering that these two have a match his weekend…then I remembered; TNA Impact is taped two weeks prior to air time, so this match happened a while ago. Anyways, this match started out quite good, Angle kept trying to keep the match on the mat while Styles kept getting away from Angle and hitting some sick moves. A nice dropkick from Styles made Angle second guess his strategy, and the two went back to work with counters and simple moves to try and isolate each other. Styles seemed to get the edge early on, forcing Angle to go outside of the ring and rest, rethinking his next move before things get out of hand for him. Angle finally got the upper hand by sidestepping one of Aj Style’s over the top rope moves, and the pain was on. Angle isolated Styles with a lot of rest holds and submission attempts, and Aj styles looked out. However, Styles was able to turn things around for a moment or two, but it wasn’t enough to put away Angle. Angle kept on the pressure, turning from rest holds to high impact moves like the release German Suplex and reversing the Styles Clash as well. There were several near falls and I thought this thing was going to favor Angle, but Styles kept kicking out at around two and a half. Angle started to appear frustrated, especially after a top rope belly to belly suplex didn’t put away Styles. Styles managed to even hit the Styles Clash, but it didn’t put away Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle barely kicked out of the Styles Clash. Angle was able to hit his patented Angle Slam and Styles kicked out. This match was headed into a stale mate fast. Angle went for the top rope moonsault, but Styles moved out of the way, and was out cold. Styles hit an impressive 450 splash off a springboard, and wasn’t able to get the win, as Angle managed to muster up enough strength for a kick out. Angle put on the Ankle Lock and the bell started to ring! Angle thought he won, but nope. The time ran out That’s right, there was a time limit, and the time ran out! The referee ruled this a time limit draw! What a load of crap. I can’t believe I sat through this for nothing. This isn’t the 1980’s there shouldn’t be a time limit draw!

The rest of TNA was just build up for the ppv that’s coming up. Nothing major, no more matches and I was finally ready to call it a day, that’s for sure.

TNA Impact 9/2/09 Review

Sting defeated Rhino

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

Aj Styles defeated Chris Sabin

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

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

Doug Williams defeated Suicide

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

Christy Hemme & Tara defeated Sojo Bolt & Hamada

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

Hernandez defeated Homicide

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

Aj Styles defeated Doug Williams

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

Sting defeated Hernandez via dq

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

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

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

Tna Impact 7/16/09 Review

As usual Foley comes out to talk. I don’t want to hear Foley any longer, but here he is, random speech about getting the TNA belt back. He called out Kurt Angle, and the champion obliged by coming to the ring. Foley was rambling about last week’s Barbed Wire beat down. He then was complimenting Angle for being a great wrestler and that on Sunday he hopes no Main Event Mafia will show up to interfere in their match up. Sting came out and started to call out Kurt Angle. He started to rant about how Kurt and Mick are liars and that this weekend we’re going to see who has the power to run TNA. Sting will wrestle Kurt Angle tonight in a six sides of steel match!

Backstage Samoa Joe was beating the crap out of The Amazing Red, I hated that, but oh well.

The Amazing Red defeated Samoa Joe via Disqualification

Samoa Joe beat up Amazing Red, then threw Rudy Charles across the ring, Rudy Charles called for the bell, I assume he lost the match. This was dumb.

There was some random interview segment with all the knockouts talking about random trash with Don West. It was a stupid segment, made to waste time.

Suicide defeated Chris Sabin

The Motor City Machine Guns have the worst music in TNA wrestling history. I hate their music with a passion. It’s time for a change. Sabin finally got a shot at Suicide, but it was non title, so it didn’t even matter to me who won. Suicide sucks, I’ve never liked his character and I don’t know why he has a title, as it didn’t even help the TNA video game sales. This match was fast paced and back and forth. No one had the real upper hand, but Sabin was definitely standing out. However, for all Sabin’s effort, Suicide kept hitting sling shot maneuvers and reversals to try and slow down the tempo. These two were no selling everything for the sake of time constraints. Sabin has such great timing in there and it showed, until Suicide caught him with a sick rolling slam and then hit Alex Shelley on the outside. Sabin hit a sweet spike ddt but couldn’t pick up the win. The Suicide Solution was hit and this match was over. I still don’t like Suicide, and this match was just too fast, there wasn’t enough time to develop at all.

Post match the Motor City Machine Guns fought Suicide and mopped him up. They set up a sweet leg drop onto a chair, and Suicide was out cold. Homicide came down to ringside and saved Suicide, chasing away the Motor City Machine Guns.

Homicide then decided to cash in his briefcase for a shot at the X-Division title shot.

Homicide defeated Suicide for the x-division championship

Homicide immediately pinned Suicide and thought he could just win it. He didn’t, and Suicide fought back, but was obviously winded from his last attempt. Homicide hit the Gringo Killer and won the X-Division championship! Not much of a match, but I liked it, go Homicide!

Angelina Love was in a complete haz-mat suit as the Beautiful People came out to do some talking. Angelina Love was saying that she wasn’t ready last week. She also said that this weekend Tara and her would go for the gold! Then Tara came out and hit the Widows Peak on Angelina Love, playing more mind games for this Sundays match. It was an ok segment and I loved how the women weren’t “divas” or anything like that, they were wrestlers building an angle, a rarity in professional wrestling right now.

Sarita defeated Alissa Flash

What’s this? Two new wrestlers? Yeah, TNA is introducing two new knockouts, and yes they can wrestle! Flash had a strong style, building on heavy moves and punches while Sarita had a pure Lucha Libre style. Sarita was in there showing off for sure, within ten seconds there was a Suicide Dive! Talk about real women’s wrestling! YES! Flash capitalized on a mistake and started to dismantle Sarita like a technical wrestler. Meanwhile Sarita was sticking to just a pure lucha style, trying to get from high spot to high spot, but that proved dangerous as Flash kept catching Sarita with mistakes. Flash did a nice surboard set up to curb stomp, and it looked like Sarita’s debut was going to get spoiled. Flash’s overhead back suplex into the corner was brilliant, shades of Bret Hart! Sarita won with a victory roll after some good back and forth, and this match was really good, best match of the night, no doubt.

Booker T & Kevin Nash & Scott Steiner defeated Beer Money & Aj Styles

Beer Money has to be one of the longer running tag teams in professional wrestling right now. I hope they never split them up, they work too well together; unlike wwe’s way of splitting things up and then burying the legacy. So here were, a six man tag and it wasn’t half bad. Aj started things off with Scott Steiner and the two were putting on a decent show. The match turned into a melee with everyone fighting in ring, then outside. The two left standing were Nash and Aj Styles, but it was Nash that ended this thing early with a huge Jacknife Power Bomb. He ended Aj’s hopes of winning this match, as the rules seemed to spin and it was an elimination match all of a sudden. I hate when TNA does this, on the fly too, but I guess it makes the match a little longer. Steiner eliminated James Storm, and this match was now a three on one match with Robert Roode stuck in the match against three members of the main event mafia. Booker T hit a book end after the commercial, and it seemed like this match was going south for Robert Roode. Roode managed to eliminate Kevin Nash but after that Booker T and Scott Steiner kept hitting each other on accident and Roode capitalized. He had this match sewn up nicely even hitting a nice spinebuster on Booker T, but it wasn’t to be as the numbers game just kept growing. Roode hit an amazing bridge suplex on Booker T but Sharmell was on the ring apron distracting the ref, and it was downhill with the Main event Mafia pulling off another win.

Kurt Angle vs Sting in a six sides of steel match ended in a no contest

This match couldn't half more than 10 minutes to unfold so it was somewhat tame. Sting tried to out wrestle Kurt, but it wasn't going to happen as Kurt is a real amateur wrestler and it showed in the onset of this match, gaining an easy upper hand against Sting. Sting got back with a stiff elbow, and this match started to come undone with Sting reversing Angle's momentum at every turn.

Then we got hit with commercials?

The match now had roughly 5 minutes to finish before the next program, meaning TNA must've edited the crap out of this match to fit into the time slot.

Sting got a second wind after the break and was totally dominating Kurt Angle. He set up his moves and was throwing Angle at the walls of the cage, but nothing was working. Angle hit a release German Suplex and the tables turned for Angle. Angle went for the Angle Slam but it was reversed right into the Scorpion Death Lock.

Meanwhile at the announce table Samoa Joe knocked out Jeff Jarrett then walked into the cage and locked it again. Samoa Joe then got hit with a Scorpion Death Lock! The lights went out and Samoa Joe was in a choke hold!

At this point Foley and Jarrett were trying to get into the cage, but the Mafia was controlling things outside. This match was ridiculous, Sting was getting chocked out, the match was thrown out I guess? I don't know, what a convoluted mess.

Don't miss out on WWE Starrcade: The Essential Collection DVD Box Set!

Tna Impact 7/9/09 Review

The first thing to happen was Foley came out to talk. Foley does so much talking for no apparent reason. Mike Tenay also NEVER SHUTS UP! He talks way too much, for no apparent reason. Double J came out and the two argued about winning the titles, and what not. They set up a three way dance for the next ppv, but I wasn’t paying attention, sorry. I was tired.

Homicide defeated Doug Williams in a ladder match

Homicide returns here and he started the match fast. He was hitting all sorts of great moves. Monkey flip, shoulder block, and then threw a ladder into the ring right away. Williams was taking a lot of punishment, but evened the score with a shoulder block off the middle rope onto Homicide, who was climbing the ladder. The ladder turned into a weapon in this match up, as Homicide got really close and personal with it. Team 3-D helped contain Doug Williams, Homicide climbed the ladder and got his case back.

This match was ruined because of the ending. It was a cluster as usual. Lame. I used to like ladder matches too, but this one was terrible.

Suicide was interviewed…kind of. It was stupid. Suicide just sat there like an idiot. Then he had some voice modification and sounded like The Undertaker. I tell you now, this interview segment SUCKED TNA should stick to wrestling. Suicide sucks, Mike Tenay sucks, and you know what? Screw this crap! I went to the bathroom.

Sting and Samoa Joe argued back and forth. Sting was pissed, he said he was going to beat up Sting, but not tonight.

Beer Money defeated The Motor City Machine Guns

Booker T was talking jive on the headsets and it was ridiculous. It really made me kind of upset cause I had no idea what he was saying. He was really just rambling, and if you watched this show, you know what I mean. The match started out with Storm and Sabin fighting, it eventually ended up on the floor, and things were turning into the Guns favor with sweet offense. The match came through with some good moments, but before it really got over, Beer Money won with some great teamwork. Not a terrible match, not a good match, but Beer Money as always did a great job.

Tara defeated Velvet Sky

Tara put on a clinic of how women wrestlers should be. She really knows what she is doing, and while I don’t like the tarantula angle, I still think she’s one of the better women wrestlers in pro-wrestling right now. She hit the Widows Peak and it was over, a good overall womens match up, and I liked how this wasn’t a “divas” match. This was cool.

Tara defeated Angelina Love in a Knockout Championship Match

After the previous match up, Tara convinced Angelina Love to wrestle her for the title. Angelina Love agreed and they fought in this match up. Tara got a couple of near falls before Angelina Love ran to the outside and tried to get counted out. She eventually headed back into the ring, but Madison Rayne got in the mix. Angelina Love managed to kick out of most of Tara’s offense, and went for the Widow’s Peak twice and finally got the pin! Tara is your NEW TNA Knockout’s Champion!

Abyss was going to kill Stevie Richards backstage. Whatever. This character is stale.

Christopher Daniels & Aj Styles defeated Matt Morgan & Kevin Nash

Matt Morgan started this match up against Christopher Daniels, and was definitely looking like the lesser of the two wrestlers. Daniels was unloading a dump truck of offense, alongside Aj Styles the two were fighting through the big guy, but weren’t able to capitalize completely. The two smaller guys really worked over the bigger men, and ended up taking them out with a sweet victory. Aj and Daniels make a great team of high flying energy.

Post match Morgan and Nash beat up Daniels and Styles. Morgan put Daniels knee & ankle in a chair, and tried to injure it. Aj ran in but couldn’t save Daniels.

Kurt Angle defeated Mick Foley and Jeff Jarrett w/ special guest referee Eric Young

Kurt Angle looked specifically leaner than usual. He has lost significant weight and is starting to looked seriously ripped. Foley and Jarrett began this match working together, and being friends against Angle. Angle was taking serious hits from the two faces, including a nice delayed Suplex. The Stroke was nailed into the steal steps, and Double J looked poised to win this thing. But we went to commercial…as is the custom with these longer matches in wrestling. Jarrett and Angle were the final two for a good portion of the match, but by the time Jarrett got this thing in the bag, Eric Young gave the slowest count of all time! Double J was still getting his hits in and brought in his guitar to use! Young warned him that he would disqualify him, and ran right into Foley’s mandible claw, but an Angle Slam broke that up! Double J went for the Figure Four! Foley then broke it up via an elbow. Angle then gave the Ankle Lock onto Foley, and Eric Young gave the match to Kurt Angle, even though Foley DID NOT TAP OUT!

Eric Young, the idiot, gave the match to Angle for no apparent reason. He then got beat down by Double J and Foley, and deserved it.

Overall TNA wasn’t great, but it was ok. I didn’t hate it all, but I did hate certain aspects of it.

***NOTE****

My parents in-law are coming to town. So that means no wrestling tomorrow night. I won’t have a review for you guys for Smackdown yet again. However, I’ll be back for a FULL week of wrestling next week.

In the mean time, please purchase something via amazon. Thanks for understanding.

Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe defeated Jeff Jarrett & Aj Styles

TNA Impact 7/2/09 Review

Kurt Angle comes out and starts talking about Mick Foley, and calls him out. I like Kurt Angle’s new look, it makes him look more evil. Foley stepped out and confronted Kurt Angle. Scot Steiner beat up Foley’s security with a Lead Pipe, ending their storyline; hopefully. Foley punched Angle, then got a beat down from the Main Event Mafia. Afterwards Jeff Jarrett ran down to save Foley!

Double J then hit Foley in the head with a guitar, and walked away.

We got into an interview with Kevin Nash…lame. This segment sucks.

Amazing Red defeated Cody Deaner

Amazing Red is one of my favorite guys to return to TNA, he’s got the fastest execution I’ve seen in pro wrestling in a long time. The twisting dive was impressive, picture perfect, nice landing, and wow…impressive. Somehow Cody Deaner got Red in a compromised position and was actually winning for a good part. Deaner went to the top rope and went flying! He went for the Swan dive headbutt, but Amazing red hit a sweet Red Eye (second rope launch DDT). Tna’s Amazing Red deserves a title shot!

Eric Young defeated Rhino

Rhino ran into the ring and started blasting Young with lefts and rights. Eric Young was taking a beating early into the match up. This match was fast and not that good. Young didn’t get too much offense in, but eventually pinned Rhino, which was out of the blue via a head butt and sneaky pin. This was a terrible finish.

Awesome Kong & Tara defeated Velvet Sky & Angelina Love

Tara, at least to me, had a limp on her way down to the ring. The match was not half bad, The beautiful people had full control of this one. With quick tags and legitimate punishment, they really played up the heel tag team, without compromising their skill set. Awesome Kong got involved and hit a picture perfect Implant Buster and it was awesome! She gets the pin, and I was pleased.

Booker T & Scott Steiner defeated Team 3-D

Team 3-D had the edge early on, and I liked it. They seemed to have a second wind and really looked like that old Team 3-D even if it was short lived. However, as the match carried on it was Steiner and Booker that were looking like the well oiled machine not Team 3-D. Booker was fast and fresh, but Devon had a few shots to make things turn around as he was setting up a huge hot tag! Bubba Ray Dudley was working a little light at first, but things got better as he cleaned house including a nice Bubba Bomb on Scott Steiner. Booker T though, got the book end but couldn’t get the three count. Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi came to the announce table and started a fight with Beer Money who were doing commentary. Meanehile, Team 3-D hit 3-D on Booker T! Sharmel jumped in and distracted the referee! Scott Steiner got in and was immediately hit with a headbutt to the groin! Out ran Brutus Magnus came down and did the slowest run in wrestling history costing Team 3D the match.

Jethro Holliday vs. Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal

This match never really got started as Abyss beat up Lethal and then ran down to ringside to beat up Jethro Holliday! That’s about it, Abyss beat him up and went away.

Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe defeated Jeff Jarrett & Aj Styles

This match was going back and forth with neither team truly getting over on the other. Styles and Jarrett worked well together, and Joe & Angle were taking some heavy shots here and there. We had a commercial break and upon return Samoa Joe had this match well taken care of. Aj got a double ddt on Angle and Joe, which proved to be somewhat of an equalizer. Styles hit a huge Pele’ on Joe, and hit Double J for the hot tag and he was like a house on fire, hitting Angle with everything he had, but it was a short second wind. Double J reversed the Angle Slam into a ddt, and things looked bad for the Main Event Mafia. Joe got hit by Aj Styles but hit the ref too! Double J hit The Stroke from the middle rope, but the ref was out cold! Angle got the Ankle Lock onto Jarrett, and right in the middle of the ring! Jarrett passed out with the Ankle Lock strapped in, and he went limp from pain. Kurt Angle wins via death? Hahah…you know what I mean.

Just a heads up, I'll be gone tomorrow, so no smackdown review...but i'll be back monday or tuesday with a full Raw review.

TNA Impact 6/25/09 Results and Review More Random Crap

TNA Impact 6/25/09 Results

Kevin Nash defeated Abyss
Taylor Wilde defeated Daffney in a 10,000 tack match
Scott Steiner defeated Robert Roode
James Storm defeated Booker T via disqualification

TNA Impact 6/25/09 Review

Brutus Magnus came down for a match was attacked by Bubba Ray Dudley, and it all spilled out into the crowd. Then things spilled back into the ring and out came all of the foreign wrestlers in TNA. They started stomping Bubba Ray Dudley, but in came Devon to save his partner, and it all ended with a 3-D through a table on Kiyoshi!

The Main Event Mafia came out and started to talk random crap. Kurt Angle looks great with a beard and such, he looks more sinister.

Foley came down to the ring and started talking crap as well.

Kevin Nash defeated Abyss

Kevin Nash was doing quite well. He was doing the normal Kevin Nash offense, hitting Abyss in the mid section with knees. Abyss turned things around and was fighting his way to a comeback. A steel chair was introduced to the match and Abyss put it in the corner, but the ref didn’t want to allow it. Stevie Richards was in the ring and he tazed the crap out of Abyss! That’s right a tazer! Kevin Nash then went for the pin, and it was all over. Kevin Nash defeated Abyss thanks to Stevie Richards.

Beer Money was in the ring and talking about their big win at the ppv. Scott Steiner and Booker T came down to ringside. They demanded a title shot, Team 3-D came down and made fun of everyone in the ring…nothing was resolved and we went to commercial break.

Taylor Wilde defeated Daffney in a 10,000 tack match

The first thing I thought about when watching this match up was that the women were working a little stiff and a little sloppy. There were obvious timing issues between the two knockouts, but that was made ok with the speed of the competitors. The match was over quick with Taylor Wilde dropping Daffney on the 10,000 tacks and it was over.

Scott Steiner defeated Robert Roode

This match was somewhat awkward. Neither man really had an upper hand and neither one was pushing the other to have a good match up. The match eventually broke down and Scott Steiner pulled of the victory. Overall this one was a terrible match up, and these two obviously aren’t gelling together. Steiner pulls one out, for a change, and Roode looked shocked.

James Storm defeated Booker T via disqualification

This match started slow, with Booker T looking way better. However, James Storm turned it around nicely and was definitely looking like he could stay in there with the sly veteran. The match ended when Booker T smashed a beer bottle on top of James Storm’s head! It was pretty cool, but it was a prop bottle indeed. Storm wins via dq…I think?

Aj Styles called out Samoa Joe and then started swinging! As Aj was getting the upper hand out ran Matt Morgan to assist Joe, then out came out Christopher Daniels to settle things up. Then out ran the Main Event Mafia, and things were getting worse.

Sting came out to the ring and starts talking about mutiny. This was a stupid night of TNA. This isn't much of a wrestling show as it truly is a soap opera. It ended terribly...what a lame night of wrestling...seriously. Sting name drops The Wolfpack! Kevin Nash talked about how they are all about money...lame. In the end Sting gave Nash a bat, and it came back to haunt him when Joe grabbed a bat and dropped Sting! Then the rest of the Main Event Mafia beat down Sting. He's now out of the mafia? I guess.

I like stables, but this one isn't working all that well...but then again, maybe I started to like it..sting was getting pummeled.
