TNA iMPACT recap for 10/11
Send News
Welcome to another recap of TNA iMPACT. Yeah, I said I was doing last week as a 1-time deal but a funny thing happened. I realized that I miss show recapping. Then the question was which show to recap? The fact is that sadly for me the only one I could do on a regular basis is TNA so here I am and here you are.
We start with a video package from last week's craziness with Angle and sting. Angle arrives with the football jersey of Sting's son.
We head in to the iMPACT zone and immediately to the ring.
We start with the X-division champion and the last member of Serotonin.
Christopher Daniels was at ringside watching this non-title contest. It was pretty much a Lethal squash that ended with a flying elbow.
Winner: Black Machismo
Daniels tossed Lethal the title belt at the end of the match, and they will meet this Sunday at Bound for Glory.
Commercial!!!
A Manswers commercial makes me want TNA back.
Kurt Angle is on his way to explain why he did what he did last week. I'd prefer he explain why I should care about what he did last week or how he could talk to Sting without wearing an earpiece on his satellite feed deal.
Angle asks Sting if he likes the jersey. He did what he did because Sting laid his hands on Karen and because he wants to face the "Old Sting" at Bound for Glory. He says that Sting is welcome to come out and take his best shot. Instead Karen comes out and Tenay and West talk about marital problems. Jesus, not more marriage trouble between these 2 didn't we see this in August?
Karen says Kurt crossed the line. She says what if Sting were to hunt down Kurt's kids? She says that Kurt told her to say that Sting slapped her.
Sting comes out and says that Angle gets the old Sting and Karen is as responsible for this as anything. Of course, I need not point out that the Old Sting would not have spoken. Sting's music plays and it freaks the Angle's out but then Sting says he'll get him on his time, not Kurt's. All people who care about this raise your hand and hold it up until your arm falls of due to blood loss.
West says that the tag dream match between the Steiners and Team 3-D is finally going to happen. Yeah, finally after last month.
Backstage with Borash and Nash. Nash is looking for Sting in the rafters. He asks Sting if he really wants to go down this road again, it isn't going to do anyone any good. It also isn't going to make anyone any money. Sting asks Nash what he'd want to do if Angle attacked his son and Nash said kill him. Chris Benoit also gave that same answer but got confused as to who the "him" was supposed to refer. Anyway, Sting tells Nash not to lose his edge. Well, I guess we can count on Nash attacking Sting at the PPV now since nobody would see it coming.
Commercial!!!
Mike Tenay and Don West run down the rest of the night's show and the card for Bound for Glory.
Back with random interview lady #2 and Team Pacman. They're like competitors and stuff and there are 3 days to Bound for Glory. Adam Jones is the worst interview ever, he says that Triple X only want to be Pornstars.
Starts out with Senshi...and Killings, yeah I know you're shocked.
They trade moves of little consequence and Pacman is tagged in to the ring. Tenay calls him the most controversial athlete in Pro Sports. He's way behind the time on that one.
The high-spot of the match comes when Skipper is about to finish off Killings and Pacman makes it rain on him and this leads to Killings getting the win. Well, Skipper should be thankful that at least he's able to walk after this rain making incident.
Winners: Team Pacman
Coming up, words from Christian Cage. Abyss and Rhino Vs. Raven and Black Rain. Team 3-D and Kurt Angle Vs. LAX and Junior Fatu.
Now the music for Rick and Scott Steiner hit and they head to the ring which is still occupied by the tag champs.
Rick says when you're the meanest dog on the block, a lot of people want to rattle your cage. Huh? On what block does that ever happen? Rick tosses out the "You want some, come get some, you don't like me, bite me" catchphrase that made WCW millions in 1999 and 2000.
Scott calls 3-D backyard wrestlers and champions of nothing. He also calls them fat and I guess is planning to beat some ass.
Backastage with Borash and 3-D. Brother Ray starts by calling the steiners mother a pig. "We're going to take some 3-d wood and shove it down your throats", and oral sex! Brother Ray then turns his attention to Brittney Spears. The word nonsensicle comes to mind listening to this promo. After Brittney Spears we find out that 3-D doesn't drink accept the rare 5 or 6 shots of Jack Daniels. The Steiners run in to the interview area and an argument abounds so we immediately cut to a commercial before something interesting can happen.
Knockouts are up next.
Commercial!!!
We're back and Talia Madson, Shelley Martinez, Angel Williams and ODB are all introduced to the crowd.
Your classic little woman Vs. Big woman match. Not much stuff happens that you don't ordinarly see in size mismatches, spots like Gail's dropkick having no affect and then the finish comes with a Kong powerbomb.
Winner: Amazing Kong
We even get a replay of the finish.
Then we go to a segment between Don West and Sonjay Dutt and I'm at a loss for why I should care, thus I do not.
Commercial!!!
Back with footage of Tomko defending the IWGP tag championship in Japan. Now we go to Christian's new talkshow, chatting with the champ. Wew, good thing we got that second hour for more wrestling matches.
Samoa Joe is the guest and if you can't tell what is going to happen, I'd like to congratulate you for watching wrestling for the first time ever tonight.
Yep, heel and face trade insults, and heel also insists that the set will not be destroyed tonight. Insults progress greatly and brawl happens. In this case, Christian the heel gets the better of the brawl.
Random interviewer #2 interviews LAX. LAX is back in full force and asses are gonna get beat.
Commercial!!!
Mor Manswers, can a man really kill a bear with his hands? I could kill one with a gun in my hands, does that count?
West puts the hard sell on for the Reverse battle royal and I laugh. I love how Mike Tenay says that "eventually, it will lead to 1 winner". Something about the use of the word "eventually" makes me giggle.
Nice back and forth, Williams goes for the Destroyer countered into the Payoff and Roode gets the win.
Winner: Robert Roode
Roode insists that Ms. Brooks slap Petey Williams. Kaz hits the ring before it can go anywhere and we've got a post-match brawl. Good, we haven't seen one of those in a match or 2.
Kurt Angle looks for Sting in the men's room. Moving on.
Match starts as Tenay pimps the uniqueness of guys teaming up who will wrestle at the PPV, yeah we never ever see that especially in TNA.
We hit a commercial and are back with all sorts of plunder and James Mitchell actively involved as well. Rain and Raven work together until Raven attempts a pin and for some reason Black Rain is not down with this, don't see why given it would win him the match.
Wacky miscommunication leads to Rhino taking a black hole slam from Abyss and Black Rain getting the pin. If this sounds interesting, you need to get your ears checked.
Winners: Black Rain and Raven
Random interviewer #2 interviews Junior Fatuh. He says the name changes but the man stays the same. Ok, whatever. Junior is added to fight for the right. I now know 11 of 16.
Commercial!!!
Matt Morgan cuts a promo and I can't believe WWE had this guy studdering. Actually, I can but it is because WWE is stupid. It isn't that Morgan is the best promo ever but he's good enough that you didn't need to handicap him with that.
Some stuff happens and we go to a break. Seriously, that's pretty much the gist of it all.
Commercial!!!
Stuff happened during the break and we're promised a replay.
Basically, Matt Morgan who I didn't even know was at ringside kicked the Latino Nation members out. In the words of Mike Tenay, Morgan is there to make sure that Angle doesn't run away and that Sting gets revenge tonight. I'm not even going to start on why that doesn't make sense.
Tenay and West aren't even talking about this match, they're shilling the PPV. Shows the priority of the freaking main event!
Angle puts Homicide in the anklelock and Junior kicks him off to make the save. Kurt gets the Stinkface. Team 3-D take Fatu out of the match and go for Hernandez. Somewhere in this mess, Homicide tries to pin Angle, only gets a 2 count and then Angle hits the Angle slam for the pin.
Winners: Kurt Angle and Team 3-D
Angle has the mic. Sting appears and says it is better to wait for BFG, then again...maybe not. Sting attacks Angle from behind, hooks the Scorpion and we're off.
Then we get a BFG commercial video package deal calling it like the biggest event in the history of the world or such. It is TNA's Super Bowl and World Series and on and on and on and on.
My thoughts: Probably a better show than last week overall, but the main event last week was way better.
I'll be back on Sunday for the PPV.
