TNA iMPACT TWO HOUR WEEK 6 TAPING REPORT

by David Tuthill/ Wrestling Observer

-TNA returned tonight for Week 6 of their two hour iMPACT show. Scott Hall was announced last night as being here tonight.

-Christian Cage and Kaz went to a No Contest in the finals of the #1 Contender tournament. Cage at first scored the pinfall after interference from Tomko
and AJ Styles, but Matt Morgan came out and changed the decision and announced a rematch in a Ladder match at Genesis.

-Gail Kim d. Alexis ?. Name was very hard to hear but she looked very good. After the match, VKM comes out on the ramp and distracts Gail, who turns into
an attack by Roxxi Lavaugh. Angel Williams comes out and lays out Roxxi, followed by ODB who lays out Williams. Finally, Gail comes off the top with a
missile dropkick onto ODB.

-Team 3D d. Jay Lethal & Abyss. I'm not sure why Lethal and Abyss are teaming. Black Reign came out and brawled with Abyss to the back, enabling DVon to
lowblow Lethal, who then got hit with a 3D for the pin. 3D lays Lethal on a table (which starts coming hilariously close to breaking) and whips him with
their belts until he is saved by the Motor City Machine Guns.

-Kurt Angle comes out. He calls out Scott Hall. He doesn't come out, so Angle leaves. That was it. 30 seconds, tops.

-The ropes came down for a "Takedown Challenge" between AJ Styles and Scott Steiner. Styles came out wearing a "Gainesville Vocational" singlet, which
was very funny. Steiner kept blocking AJ's attempts at takedowns to the point where AJ threw a fit. As he was doing so, he grabbed someone out of his headpiece
and threw it at Steiner's eyes to blind him. He scored three quick takedowns. Steiner came back with four of his own and was about to win until Tomko ran
out. They brawled until Rick Steiner made the save.

The ringcrew then put the ropes back up and had a hell of a time doing it. A Comedy of Errors.

-Sting, Eric Young, and Samoa Joe d. Kurt Angle, James Storm, and Bobby Roode. Good match. Traci and the Roode plant had a very long staredown. Standard
six man match. Roode and Joe brawled to the back and Sting made Storm tapout clean with the Scorpion Deathlock.

-Kevin Nash came out and called out Scott Hall. He came out and the two bantered back and forth for a little while. Gray hair jokes, etc. Nash said he
had to stop living life the way Hall did since he didn't want to lose his family. Hall says that he is not Sting's partner, and never will be, but will
always be partners with Nash. The two hug and pose as Angle comes out. He demands to know who Sting's partner is. Sting comes out from the other ramp and
tells Angle that he will "find out Sunday."

Xplosion match: LAX & Sonjay Dutt d. XXX. By far the best match of the night. Finish was Daniels on Hernandez's shoulders, Homicide coming off the top
with an Ace Crusher, and Dutt landing a 450 Splash for the pin.

Quick Thoughts: It's a bummer the best match on the show will be the match nobody ever sees. Where does Xplosion even air nowadays? Very little in-ring
action this taping. Hopefully the Angle comedy stuff backstage is good, because there's going to be a whole lot of it.

TNA iMPACT Tapings 11/01 Spoilers

Wrestling Observer

Two hour iMPACT Week Five Spoilers

TNA returned to Orlando to tape Week Five and Six of their two hour show. The line outside of soundstage was pretty packed. They had TV's on above us that
had the Genesis logo with "This Sunday" underneath it.

-Kurt Angle w/ Karen came out for a promo. He talked and hyped the PPV and said by the end of the night he will find out who Sting's partner is. Sting
comes out and says his partner is a former WWE and WCW champion. Kevin Nash came out and said that Angle should worry about him too. Angle tells him to
bring it and bails when Nash hits the ring, however Sting throws him back in and him and Nash play pingpong with Angle until he bails.

Kaz d. James Storm w/ Jackie Moore in about 3 minutes to advance to the finals of the #1 Contender tournament. The finish was a very unique looking rollup
that looked very cool. Eric Young came out after the match and he and Storm shared a six-pack of beer together.

-Team 3D came out. They cut a promo on internet marks and the like and say they will destroy the X Division. Motor City Machine Guns come out and made
fun of Team 3D for being fat. D'Von goes looking for tables and can't find them. XXX and Havoc come out holding the tables. While they're distracted, Shark
Boy, Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt come from behind and attack 3D. The rest of the X Division guys beat down 3D and go to put them through the tables,
but Team 3D escapes. Shelley came across like a big star in doing most of the talking during the promo.

-Awesome Kong d. Christy Hemme w/ Jimmy Rave & Lance Hoyt. Quick squash. Kong wins with a sitout powerbomb.

-Dave Penzer announces that Junior Fatu could not make the tapings and Christian will wrestle a replacement.

-Samoa Joe & Gail Kim d. Bobby Roode & Traci. Good match. Kim pins Traci with a rollup. Roode starts yelling at Traci for losing and Kim grabs the mic
and tells him she's tired of him treating Traci poorly and slaps him. Roode grabs her and Joe makes the save. The guys brawl up through the stands. Joe
gains the upperhand until the plant from the last two week's of tapings (Rain from SHIMMER) starts going crazy screaming at him. Security takes her away.
Roode throws Joe into the ringsteps and Joe starts bleeding HEAVILY. A lot of heat for this.

-Christian Cage d. Chris Harris to advance to the finals of the #1 Contender tournament. Cage came out with a ladder. Short but good match. Cage wins with
a rollup and grabs the ropes. After the match, Harris is arguing with the ref and Cage nails him with the ladder. He then comes off one of the top rungs
with a frog splash. The second he hit the frog splash, his music began to play.

-Black Reign is shown backstage challenging Abyss to some type of match.

-Kurt shown backstage with Borash smoking a cigar while Kurt interrogates Karen about who Sting's partner is. Nash shows up and says the partner is Scott
Hall, and that he'll be there next week.

-AJ Styles & Tomko d. LAX to retain the TNA World Tag Team Titles. Match went about 8 minutes and was very good. Styles got the pin with a springboard
450 Splash. The Steiners attacked LAX after the match and the two teams brawled to the back.

Xplosion Match: Motor City Machine Guns d. Voodoo Kin Mafia. The voodoo manager went to blow mist in the eyes of Sabin, missed and hit B.G., who got rolled
up for the pin.

Quick Thoughts: Fairly solid tapings. Too many rollups. Who would've ever thought that in 2007, one of the best tag teams in wrestling would be AJ Styles
and Tyson Tomko? If anyone who keeps track of the lineage of the WWE and WCW world titles can email me some info about Scott Hall's world title reigns,
I would greatly appreciate it and will be sure to forward it to Kevin Nash.

TNA iMPACT Spoilers for 10/25

Send News and Event Results


Credit: David Tuthill / Wrestling Observer

-Steiners & LAX d. Styles/Tomko & VKM. Ok opener.

-James Storm d. Eric Young. Jackie got bumped and Young went to check on her and turned into a superkick. Jackie and Storm yelled at each other after the
match.

-Fourway: Havok, Shark Boy, Sonjay Dutt and Petey Williams went to a No Contest when Team 3D ran out and beat them up. Bubba cut a promo on the X-Division
and him and DVon put Williams and Havok through tables with powerbombs.

-Kurt Angle d. Sting to win the World Title. Nash came out early in the match and sat at ringside. He got on the apron at one point and the as ref Andrew
Thomas was trying to get him down, he got bumped. Angle gave Sting an Angle Slam and Earl Hebner ran in and counted the three. Angle was announced as the
new champion, and him and Sting both got out of the ring. The two refs started arguing about the finish. Cornette came out and said he would take both
of their statements and make a decision later. Cornette and Tenay yelled at each other at the booth, and Tenay went in to the back with him.

-Awesome Kong d. Angel Williams. Short squash.

-Before the next match, Penzer had the hard cam side boo for about 30 seconds while the cameras filmed it. Also, during this break, they made everyone
from the off-camera bleachers move on camera, even though there were barely any empty spots. Of course, a bunch of people were stuck standing in the pit.
Several people I was with decided just to leave instead of dealing with the smell. I understand why TNA felt they had to do it, but it was retarded.

-Junior Fatu d. Bobby Roode. The Bobby Roode plant was at ringside again going crazy for him. Another ref bump. Roode threw Traci off the chair she was
sitting at and went to hit Fatu. Joe ran in, grabbed the chair, hit Roode with it, and Fatu hit the Rikishi Driver for the pin. Christian Cage was ringside
doing commentary for this match in lieu of Tenay.

-Cornette and Tenay come out. Cornette rules that because Nash never actually attacked Sting that Kurt Angle is still the TNA World Champion. He signs
the main event for Genesis. For the World Title, Kurt Angle will team with Kevin Nash to face Sting and a partner. The winner of the pinfall wins the belt.
This was not a typo. Sting comes out and guarantees "the champion at Genesis will not be Kurt Angle."

Xplosion Match: Rhino, Chris Harris, and Ron Killings d. XXX. Good, short match. Killings was super over. More dissension between Rhino and Harris after
the match.

Quick Thoughts: RUSSO~!


Note from Casey: How can the people who booked this TV show, and the people who booked Sunday's Pay Per View be the same group?

TNA iMPACT Spoilers for 10/18

Send News and Event Results


Credit: David Tuthill / Wrestling Observer

-As I was getting into the building there was an in-ring segment where Kurt Angle demanded a rematch for the world title tonight, but had been laid out
by Kevin Nash. Not sure how they got to that point, but it's definitely sold like Angle is messed up.

-Chris Sabin v. Alex Shelley ended in a DQ when Team 3D jumped both of them and powerbombed them through two separate tables. The crowd was as rabid as
any TNA crowd I've ever seen for this match. We should've known it was too good to be true.

-Backstage in Cornette's office, Christian came in and demanded to get the last spot in the #1 Contender tournament. He had a ladder with him and was talking
about wanting a ladder match. Joe came in and they argued about it.

-Amazing Kong d. Talia Madison. Short and quick. Kong is probably the best thing in TNA right now.

-Bobby Roode & James Storm w/ Jackie & Traci d. Chris Harris & Rhino. Same old stuff here between Roode and Traci. The best part about this match was the
OBVIOUS plant (I found out it was SHIMMER/ROH/FIP's Rain) directly in the front row of the pit right in the middle of every hardcam shot. She had a gigantic
"President of Bobby Roode Fanclub" sign. It was clear that she was a plant because no pro wrestling fans look that good, turkey talk. She was going crazy
for Roode whenever he would do anything, and also was very into when Penzer would try to get the crowd hot by promising the loudest fans a trip backstage.
It was just really funny. After the match, Harris and Rhino had a staredown.

-Jim Cornette and Mike Tenay come out and host a "Parade of Champions", introducing the guys who won belts last night. Cage tags along with Styles & Tomko
so Cornette orders him vs. Joe as this week's main event, with the winner getting the last spot in the "Fight for the Right". Sting comes out and is presented
with his belt and accepts Angle's earlier challenge. Angle comes out in a wheelchair with two security guards and Karen and reschedules the rematch for
"next week." Sting says to bring the chair because he's going to cripple Angle for sure.

-Kaz d. Lance Hoyt w/ Jimmy Rave & Christy Hemme. Hoyt made Hemme do the old Embassy Woman thing where she got on all fours while Rave got into to the
ring off her back. Hemme was upset, but Hoyt kissed her and she calmed down. Weird. Interference from the two of them backfired and Kaz won. They all argued
after the match. Why do relationships in TNA never work out?

-Abyss d. Disco Inferno (he was billed as that). Old WCW fans (and fans of Sports Entertainment Xtreme) were stoked to have Disco back. He was squashed
in a minute. Black Reign ran out and he and Abyss started brawling, with Abyss gaining the edge until Jim Mitchell came down. They handcuffed Abyss to
the ropes, stuck the rat in some back and put it over his face. This died horribly as none of this stuff is over or entertaining at all, even in the heel
way. Two hours was supposed to refine the product and make it catch on as a cool wrestling alternative, not give them the chance to have all of this bullshit.


-Christian Cage d. Samoa Joe to get the last spot in the tournament. Good, long match. Usual ref bump spot. Styles and Tomko ran out to interfere, but
Matt Morgan chased them off. That allowed Bobby Roode to come back (Rain sure was happy) to nail Joe with a chair to allow Cage to get the pin. Great match
before the run-ins.

Taped for Xplosion: LAX, Eric Young, and Shark Boy d. XXX (Senshi and Skipper) and VKM. Quick match. Finish was Skipper on Hernandez's shoulders and Homicide
coming off with an Ace Crusher, which Skipper took right on his head. I don't know why he wants to die so badly, but he sure does bump like a million bucks.

TNA Impact Taping Results (to be broadcast on October 11th)

Before the taping began, they filmed a segment of Karen Angle entering the Impact Zone with security.

X-Division Champion Jay Lethal defeated Havok in a non-title match. Christopher Daniels came out and watched the match, then after the bout picked up the
X-Division belt and tossed it to Lethal before leaving.

Kurt Angle came to the ring, wearing a shirt from the school that Sting's son goes to. Angle gets on the mic and says that Sting's son is a good football
player. Angle said he did what he did to Sting's son for two reasons. One, is because Sting touched his wife, and the two, because he wants the old Sting
back. Angle said he wasn't leaving the ring until Sting comes out. Karen Angle came out and said the last week has been the worst of her life. She asks
Kurt how he would feel if Sting did this to their children. Angle says that he'll decide when he's gone too far, and said that Karen needs to decide if
she is with him or not. Then they argue over whether Sting really slapped Karen or not. While they argue, Sting appears on the screen. Sting says that
Karen is just as responsible as Kurt is for what happened, and that Kurt crossed the line when he put his hands on Sting's son. He said the "old Sting"
will be at Bound For Glory, and he will "take everything" from Kurt Angle. It then appeared that Sting dropped down from the rafters, but it was just
a dummy. Sting said he would appear when he wanted to, not when Kurt Angle wanted him to.

Robert Roode defeated Petey Williams. After the match, Roode held Petey and wanted Traci to hit him, but she wouldn't. Kazarian came out, and Roode left,
leaving Traci in the ring. Roode told Traci to leave the ring, but she hesitated before Roode grabbed her and pulled her out of the ring and made her
go to the back.

Team Pacman defeated Elix Skipper & Senshi. During the match, the referee prevented Pacman from doing anything physical in the match, since he wasn't tagged
in. Skipper had Killings pinned, but Pacman threw money at him, "making it rain". This distraction allowed Killings to get the pin on Skipper.

The Steiners come to the ring, and Rick Steiner gets on the mic and says there are a lot of "wannabes" trying to rattle their cage. He said at Bound For
Glory, we will see where Team 3D is on the food chain. Scott commented how Team 3D had been bragging about taking the Steiners out, but they are still
standing. Scott said they didn't want to wait for Bound For Glory. Scott said Team 3D were "Bingo Hall Backyard Wrestlers" and vowed to make them bleed.
Scott said Bound For Glory is special because it is in Atlanta where the Steiner Brothers got started, and after the match they are going to have a party
and roast two fat pigs, Team 3D.

Amazing Kong defeated Gail Kim. The other members of the women's division came out and watched the match.

They did a Peep Show segment with Christian Cage, with the ring decorated like a luau and Tiki Bar. Christian and AJ Styles came out wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Christian said that his show was a forum for TNA stars to come out and speak with him. Christian said he would get the answers to all the tough questions.
Christian said he had a special theme tonight for his first guest, and that people will think he is crazy for having this person on, since this person
wants to kill him. Out came Samoa Joe. Christian said he was going to put his differences with Joe aside for this interview. Christian noted that Bound
For Glory will be the third time they meet in a singles match, and that Christian won the prior two meetings. Joe said that he was already bored with
Christian's segment, and that the fans were telling him the match strategy, as they were chanting "Joe's Gonna Kill You". Joe said the whole segment was
cliché, and that Christian has lost his edge. Joe called him an a******. Christian said he didn't like the way Joe was acting, and that he went through
a lot of garage sales to find the decor for the segment. Joe said that Christian's winning streak will end at Bound For Glory, and that Christian will
end up in a hospital. Christian said that Joe might be mad at him for what he has done in the past, but he only wants to have a competitive match at Bound
For Glory. Christian has AJ Styles pour Joe a drink. Christian said he wanted to toast Joe and said their match will steal the show at Bound For Glory.
Joe went after him, but Christian ran out of the ring. Styles his Joe with a ukulele, but it had no effect. Matt Morgan came out and carried Styles away.
Christian threw a drink in Joe's face and hit him with a coconut. The segment ends with Christian standing over Joe.

Raven & Black Reign defeated Rhino & Abyss in a no-disqualification match. They used weapons and brawled all over the building. Jim Mitchell came out
and Abyss was going to chokeslam him into thumbtacks, but Raven stopped him and gave Abyss a DDT into the thumbstacks. Raven went for the cover, but Black
Reign broke it up for some reason. Rhino went to check on Abyss, but Abyss didn't realize who it was and hit a Black Hole Slam on Rhino and then Black
Reign covered Rhino for the pin.

Kurt Angle & Team 3D defeated LAX & Junior Fatu. Matt Morgan was the special enforcer for the match. Early in the match, Brother Ray and Devon blew their
noses in the flag. Some masked Latino Nation members ran out, but Morgan made them return to the back. Angle hit Homicide with the Angle Slam for the
three count. After the match, Kurt Angle called out Sting, while the members of the Latino Nation checked on LAX at ringside. Sting appeared on the screen
and said he would wait for Bound For Glory. Then he said maybe he wouldn't wait, and one of the masked Latino Nation members turned out to be Sting, attacking
Angle and putting him in the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting then got on the mic and said this was his ring, and he was saving the rest of Angle for Bound For
Glory.

They filmed a TNA Today segment, with Kurt Angle chasing off Jeremy Borash and taking over the segment.

They taped a match for the Road To Bound For Glory special, with Roxxi Levoux defeating Traci Brooks. Robert Roode was at ringside with Traci, while VKM
was with Roxxi. Roode yelled at Traci during the match, and shoved her from the ring apron at one point, costing her the match. Roode then left without
Traci.

They taped an Xplosion match with Eric Young, Chris Harris, Shark Boy and the Motor City Machineguns defeating James Storm, Jimmy Rave, Lance Hoyt and the
Voodoo Kin Mafia. It was a comedy match, with Young pinning Rave with a rollup.

Note from Casey: These don't look as bad as the tapings from yesterday. Of course, having everyone in the Universe line up single file to kick me in the balls doesn't seem bad compared to yesterday's taping.

You have no idea how much these make me want to watch WWE again.

You have no idea because most people can't think about numbers that small.

Good luck to Erik Anderson, Mark Danger or Ric Gillespie...hell anyone who thinks they need to fall on the sword and recap this show for those of us too scared to view it.

Alan Wojcik's Final TNA Impact Spoiler Report

Send News


I just want to say that TNA really loves to bite the hand that feeds them. From banning people from taking photos of TNA events and posting them online for FREE to help promote their live shows to people like Alan who take extra time to devote to helping promote TNA's shows and wrestlers online, again for FREE! Then again these are the same assholes who screw their own employees so seeing them treat outsiders like trash shouldn't be a surprise yet it remains unacceptable. But you know what? Sooner rather then later TNA will fuck themselves so royally the point of no return will be right at Dixie Carter's doorstep, that starfucker... [A. Shimko]

For the final time please credit Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com if used.


Welcome to my final TNA Wrestling Impact report. According to a conversation between TNA’s Ross Foreman and one of my bosses David Meltzer there is apparent ban on laptops, but I am more then welcome to bring a blackberry device. Sorry folks but there will be no blackberry buying for me. Tonight I kicked it “old-school” and wrote out this report on notebook paper, basically who beat whom. While I was attending the event my laptop went to Disney-MGM Studios with some other laptops he met online. I asked my laptop if he did something bad when I was at Universal two weeks ago and he said no. So you enjoy these notes and I’ll be back to end this sad tale.



Hour one taping results:



Mike Tenay interviewed Adam Jones. “Donkey Kong” was talking to Tenay when Ron Killings came out. After some jawboxing the two men seem to form an alliance. On the way out Eric Young wanted “Pitfall’s” siggie on his shirt. Killings decked him.



Jim Cornette announced the following two matches in his office.



(1) “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal defeated “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels to become the #1 contender to the X Division championship.



(2) In a “First Blood Match”, Abyss retained his #1 contendership when he defeated “Instant Classic” Christian Cage. Samoa Joe helped Abyss win and he would pay for it later in the evening.



In between those matches we were witness to the Kurt Angle Awards. Kurt awarded Dr. Kevin Nash and friend I think name Dwayne White (the guy who raps over Angle’s new song) and his wife Karen awards. The party was stopped by Jim Cornette who asked Angle which two titles was he going to surrender. Angle said none so Cornette made three matches for No Surrender. Angle will defend the World title against Abyss, the X Division title against Jay Lethal and the World Tag Team titles against Team Dig Dug…sorry Pac Man. Cornette also booked Angle vs. the Steiner’s and Karen Angle in the ring for 5 minutes if Kurt loses.



Hour two taping results:



(1) Frankie “the Future” Kazarian & Gail Kim defeated Robert Roode & Ms. Brooks. After the match Kazarian and Brooks “shared a moment.”



(2) Ron “the Truth” Killings defeated Eric Young.



Backstage AJ Styles and Tomko tried to beat down Samoa Joe. The fight came out to the arena and Christian Cage scored the final blow with a conchairto.



(3) Kurt Angle defeated Rick & Scott Steiner with help from Team 3D.



For Xplosion: Homicide defeated Senshi while Petey Williams & Shark Boy defeated Motor City Machine Guns.



I want to send thanks to all the websites who have used my work and stood up for me last night. It seemed there was more coverage of what happened to me last night than the actual PPV event. Thanks to all the wrestlers I have covered and interviewed in my 5 years covering TNA Wrestling. I wanted none of this to happen but this was Universal/TNA’s decision not mine. See you at the matches, just not at a TNA Wrestling event.

LIVE SPOILERS from TNA Impact Tapings: Ladders Return to TNA Along With Two Debuts & Divorce!

Send News


Please credit Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com if used, thanks.

These are the 100% complete live spoilers from the TNA IMPACT Tapings. By the end of this evening we will know many of the matches for the Hard Justice PPV. Former WWE superstar the Warlord as well as Kahagas were in attendance.



Hour one notes:



Jeremy Borash watched on as Jim Cornette spoke to Christian Cage and pals about who pulled Abyss under the ring. Cornette announced a tag team ladder match with a contract up top for a Hard Justice match between Cage & Abyss. If Cage and AJ Styles win the match goes away, if Abyss and Sting win Abyss picks the stipulation. Kurt Angle, his wife Karen and child walked by and Angle admonished the child for dropping something.



(1) Team 3D (Ray and Devon) defeated “Wildcat” Chris Harris & “Showtime” Eric Young.

Team 3D have white hot old school ECW style heat on them with the Orlando fans. They wasted no time in attacking Harris but he fired back with a clothesline and bulldog combo. Harris used his power to suplex Devon before tagging in Young who looked a little bit terrified but he had his friends behind him as Ray tagged in. young faired well against both 3D members but it came to a screeching halt when Devon tripped Young from the floor and Ray leveled him. 3D kept Young occupied until he hit what looked like a dropkick but when he went to tag out to Harris, he found Harris on the floor fighting with Dustin Rhodes as those two fought to the locker room. Young didn’t last along after being hit with a top rope Spike Piledriver.



After the match Robert Roode, Ms. Brooks, a pillow and a two bottles of lotion came out to the ring to admire 3D’s handiwork. They pulled Young to the floor where Roode got the house mic and talked about embarrassing moments. What happened next the mid-south wrestling fans used to call a “tar and feather” incident. Backstage Jeremy Borash tracked down the Angle Clan telling Angle that Samoa Joe would mow down anyone including his family to get to Angle. Angle seemed more interested in his wife’s figure and daughter’s appetite for candy.



(2) XXX (“Primetime” Elix Skipper, Senshi & “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels) defeated “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal & “the Guru” Sonjay Dutt.

The Motor City Machineguns watched on and taped the bout as Skipper slid to the floor. Lethal & Dutt fought with the remaining members but Lethal got isolated from Dutt and the under handed tactics began mixed in with some amazing double team moves. Lethal fought out of a chinlock, avoided a Daniels leg lariat and tagged in Dutt who let XXX have it with a series of moves but his slingshot Pop move only got two. Dutt hit Senshi with Sliced Bread into a slam of some kind. But he looked at Skipper who dropped him on the top rope. It set up the Warrior’s Way and BME to get the win for XXX. After the match XXX and the Guns had a heated verbal exchange but it didn’t escalate to punches.



As Jeremy Borash looked on, Dr. Kevin Nash held a session with the Angle Family. Kurt accused Karen of looking at Dr. Nash’s package. He forced Karen to have a session with Dr. Nash or “don’t the door hit her on the ass on the way out.” After Kurt left, Karen soon followed him out as she wanted nothing to do with Nash and his acting resume.



(3) In a Ladder Match, Sting & Abyss defeated “Phenomenal” AJ Styles & “Instant Classic” Christian Cage.

Sting and Abyss jumped their opponents at the bell and the hard hitting action was under way. Abyss hit Cage/Styles with a clothesline and Sting followed with a top rope bodyblock. Sting and Abyss sent Cage/Styles back to the ring so they could bring the ladder in. but Styles and Cage charged for a dropkick into the ladder but the ladder moved, they slid to the floor and got leveled by it. Abyss placed the duo in a corner as Sting hit the Stinger Splash into a ladder followed by Abyss’ version of the Splash. Abyss went to climb up but Styles stopped him and countered out a wheel barrel, dropping Abyss’ throat on the ladder. Sting saw the duo coming with the ladder and dropkicked it, sending Cage/Styles to the mat but when Sting went up top Cage followed. Sting opted to bring Cage back down and hit a bulldog. Sting went up again but Styles stopped that trip. Abyss and Styles fought on the ladder but Abyss chokeslammed Styles to the mat. Just as Abyss grabbed the contract Tomko hit Abyss with a chair. But as Tomko told Styles to go up, Andrew “Test” Martin hit the ring and Tomko with several moves. Sting and Martin held the ladder steady as Abyss climbed up and got the contract.



After a couch session, Kurt & Karen Angle came out to the Impact Zone to address the fans. Angle said he brought Karen out to explain to the fans and home viewers just who Kurt Angle really is. Angle said it must be difficult to live in his shadow but wanted Karen to tell the people what it is like living with him. Karen kept her lips shut even as Kurt tagged her with insults. Samoa Joe and his titles came out and said Kurt Angle is a horse’s ass. Kurt hid behind Karen when Joe hit the ring. Karen said living with Kurt for 12 years has been pure hell and went on to make TNA Impact into the Maury Povich Show for a little while.

Joe said after Hard Justice Angle would be left with his clothes, but then again he tore off Angle’s jacket and dress shirt. As Joe stood in the ring with all the gold, Angle went for the high ground as Jeremy Borash and Bill Banks filmed stuff for TNA Today.



Hour two notes:



TNA Management’s Jim Cornette and Matt Morgan made their way to the ring. Cornette said Sting, Abyss and “the Punisher” Andrew Martin had chosen their stipulation for the PPV. But Cornette was cut off by Christian Cage, Tomko and AJ Styles. Cage said six man matches weren’t his style and he wanted to discuss the world title situation. Cornette said Abyss came up with a “doozy of a match” called the “Doomsday Chamber of Blood” match. It’s basically a Six Sides of Steel match with Barb Wire on the top, post to post and corner to corner. You need to bust someone open to get a pinfall. The winner fights the TNA World Heavyweight champion at No Surrender in September. The lights went down and up to find the ring filled with people.







(1) In a tag team match, Kip James (w/Roxxie Laveaux) & Brother Devon defeated “Notorious 187” Homicide & Rick Steiner.

Homicide was the smallest man in the ring but you wouldn’t have known that by the way he took Kip down to the mat. Steiner tagged in and decked Kip with a Steiner Line and some forearms. But Rick focused on Devon for a moment and got kicked in the face by Kip. Devon laid in the shots but Steiner caught in mid-air and hit a slam. This allowed Homicide to tag in to take on both men. He ducked a Kip clothesline and it sent Devon to the floor. But when Homicide went to the ropes, Devon tripped Homicide and Kip hit the Famouser to win. After the match all four teams fought in the ring with 3D and VKM hitting the pavement running from LAX and the Steiners.



(2) In a six man “House of Fun” match; Raven, “Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm (w/Jacqueline Moore) & Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks) defeated “War Machine” Rhino, Frankie “the Future” Kazarian & Wildcat Chris Harris.

This specialty match in TNA dates back to the Nashville Asylum and like those matches this was hard hitting bell to bell. Raven & friends jumped Kazarian as he came out. Brooks and Moore set up a table and you doubted it was for a post match meal. Harris split Raven open with repeated trash can shots. Harris & Storm picked up where they left off with trash can lid shots to the head. Kazarian tossed a chair into Roode’s face but he ended up going through the table. Kazarian avoided a Storm clothesline and when Storm went to skin the cat back in Kazarian tossed a garbage can at him. But when Kazarian went for a spear, Storm hit him with a trash can lid shot. Storm grabbed some martial arts chucks but Rhino chased him to the locker room. Roode fell for the chair trick twice and Kazarian hit a spinning heel kick but Raven hit him with a kendo shot. Harris ducked a double team and hit a double clothesline and he took Roode to the floor. Kazarian countered out of the Raven Effect and kicked Raven into a table positioned in the corner. But Roode hit Kazarian in the gut with a mallet and hit the Perfect Plex to win.



Samoa Joe made his way to the ring with a “special guest” Karen Angle. Joe said he wanted to invite Karen to watch the match at the PPV from a front row seat. But before things got quiet, Kurt Angle came to the ring looking disheveled. Joe said the TV production truck said the show is beginning to suck now that Angle is out. Kurt got in the ring to talk to Karen about their marriage and reconciliation. Just when it looked like Karen was going to tell off Kurt, Angle played the “kids card” and Karen still told him off. Joe said after suffering due to Angle for the last nine months, he enjoyed watching Angle suffer at the hands of his soon to be former wife. But before it was done, Team 3D came out and accused Joe of being a home wrecker and a thief. 3D said they were here to take back what belonged to them, the TNA World Tag Team titles. Joe laid the belts down but when Ray went to pick them up, Joe said it was going to be hard for them to pick up. He attacked 3D but Angle attacked Joe. Angle locked in the Ankle Lock as 3D whipped Joe in the back with the title belts as they talked crap to his face. The Steiner Brothers hit the ring to face off with Team 3D as Angle ran for the hills. JB and Banks came back out to end the second hour with more stuff for TNA Today.



Matches taped for TNA Today/Xplosion:



(1) Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & “the Future” Chris Sabin) defeated “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal & Petey Williams when they hit Williams with a double team Sliced Bread #2.



(2) Hotstuff Hernandez (w/ “Notorious 187” Homicide) defeated Lance Hoyt (w/Christy Hemme) after a top rope move backfired and Hernandez hit a sit out power bomb.
