Preshow note, I may not be as verbose as usual, exhaustion is setting in. Some of you would argue that less of me is better, so tonight, you win.
According to the video package, guys have stuff they want to prove tonight. Fun!
Winners of this match become top contenders to the tag team championship.
A super-hot crowd tonight.
Hella-good match that inspires chants of "this is awesome" for a Skipper dive of the X-structure and "Holy Shit" for a neckbreaker spot also by the structure with Homicide and Senshi. Finish sees Hernandez bordertoss Elix to the floor on to Senshi and LAX grab the prize for the win.
Winners: LAX
Earlier today, Kurt and Karen Angle arrive separately and Kevin Nash is also in the house.
West and Tenay run down the card.
Crystal AKA Random interviewer girl #2 interviews Christian Cage.
Ok, 16 guys start out on the floor. First 8 in the ring then have a regular battle royal. Last 2 wrestle to a pinfall for the finish. Sound complicated? Yeah!
Ok, so in edition to what I just said, the 8 wrestlers will be in a tournament to be held on iMPACT and the point of this battle royal is to determine seeding. We get down to the final 8 pretty quick which means the outside portion was quick. James Storm was the last man to make it to the ring, and then was the first man tossed out. So Storm is seeded 8th and will face the winner of this match in the first round of the tournament. Fatu out next so is seeded 7th. Chris Sabin is out third so is seeded 6th. Kaz is 5th, Hoyt is 4th and Shelley is third. Now it is down to Roode Vs. Young to see who the top seed is.
Young hits a small package and wins this thing.
The matchups to take place on iMPACT:#1 Eric Young Vs. #8 James Storm
Winner: Eric Young
Not as bad as the first, and really the match was fine once they got in the ring which was fairly quick in the process. Why you need to be so complicated to seed guys for a tournament I'll never know. I suggest though that UFC borrow this concept to crown a new UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Team Pacman cut a promo, a new member is debuting or something. His name is Consequences Creed. Pacman cut the best promo of his life. Then Kurt and Karen Angle are fighting.
The new guy's name is Rasheed Lucius "Consequences" Creed, it must suck to sign his check. I see we are getting a lot of visiters wanting info on this man. I'll say this much, I don't know who the guy was but he looked acrobatic in the match. Meltzer wrote that TNA wanted Scorpio for the role but it most definitely was not Scorpio.
A fun match with a make-it-rain spot with Pacman making it rain and instead of counting the resulting pin attempt, Earl Hebner is too busy picking up the money. Yeah, that's not tasteless or anything, got to love the family friendly company! A double team move that I guess Tomko and Giant Bernard use in NJPW wins the belts for Styles and Tomko
Winners: AJ Styles and Tomko
Styles and Tomko are set to meet LAX at some point in the future.
The match was ok, crowd was in to it because of the Pacman and AJ Styles ties to the area.
Karen Angle is talking with Nash. She drops hints about Nash returning to the ring. The gist of it was that she threatens Nash, to get him to talk to Sting or else she and Nash might both lose their meal ticket if Kurt loses the belt.
A Christopher Daniels Vs. Jay Lethal video package airs.
good match, crowd was in to it and Lethal retained the title. He missed the big elbow after kicking out of the BME and fighting off the last rights. He hit his Rock Bottom/Back breaker thing for the win.
Winner: Jay Lethal
Random interviewer #2 is with the steiners. It would seem that Scott Steiner is a fan of caffeine tonight.
Rick went through the table first. Then Scott frankensteinered Brother Ray through the second table. The Motor City Machineguns come out as Team 3-D is about to attempt to injure Scott with a chair. A Bulldog through a table wins the match for the Steiners thanks to the MCG assist.
Winners: The Steiner Brothers
Backstage, ODB, Angel Williams, Talia Madison and Shelley Martinez are around. ODB does the talking running down the other 3 and she's not a bad promo.
Standard TNA Gauntlet rules apply, 1 minute between entries, down to the last 2 women it becomes pinfall or submission.
Ms. Brooks and Ms. Jackie Moore are the first 2 women in the match. Shelley Martinez is third and Awesome Kong is 4th. Kong's music kind of sounds like Samoa Joe's. By the time Kong gets to the ring, ODB's music hits and she is #5. Ms. Brooks and Shelley Martinez are both eliminated by Awesome Kong. Kong then eliminates Ms. Jackie and it is her and ODB in the match. Angel Williams is #6. Christy Hemme is #7, good luck to her. Kong is fustigating everyone. Gail is #8 and finally 3 girls eliminate Awesome Kong. Talia Madison is #9 and Angel Williams is out via Gail and ODB. The last person is Roxie Laveaux. Madison and ODB are eliminated back-to-back and it is Gail Vs. Roxie to crown the champ.
Gail wins the championship.
Winner: Gail Kim
This was fun, especially Kong crushing people. I want to see Awesome Kong Vs. Samoa Joe right now.
Nash is talking to Angle. Angle says Nash has lost his edge and that he should buy a front row ticket and watch the match with the rest of the idiot fans. Memo to TNA, it might not be a great idea to imply that a front-row seat can be had at the mid-way point of the show.
Video package for Christian Vs. Joe.
Matt Morgan as special enforcer
Crowd treats Joe like he's a superstar, too bad TNA won't take note of this. Hot crowd for what is in the initial stages just a Joe beatdown. The crowd is so hot for Joe that Tenay and West shut up for a few seconds so we can hear it for ourselves. Best few seconds of audio in company history.
A fun match which mostly sees Joe pounding on Christian with stiff kicks and clotheslines and power moves. Joe keeps going for pins and keeps getting close nearfalls much to the disappointment of the crowd.
Finally, Tomko tries to interfeer but he and Morgan brawl. Styles tries to sneak in but Morgan catches him and then chases them off. Christian cheats and hits an Unprettier but it only gets 2. Christian hooks a rear naked choke but Joe escapes. Musclebuster by Joe, then kokina clutch and Christian taps out.
Winner: Samoa Joe
I wish I could grow extra thumbs to point up for this.
JB with Nash in the back. Sting comes in and cuts a promo saying it is all about respect. Nash says he needs Angle, he says Sting is in the main event, and this is as close as Nash is going to get.
They make a note of the fact Abyss has been in all 4 Monster'S Ball matches and has yet to be victorious.
Weapons, plunder, spots, the trademark go through the wall spot...and the crowd is still super hot for all of it.
Just a lot of stuff happening, people bleeding and tacks and glass and a black hole slam on Raven in the tacks/glass mix wins it for Abyss.
Winner: Abyss
Another fun match.
Sting and Kurt Angle video package.
Another fun match. A ref bump as Sting had Angle beat. Nash did some interferring on Angle's behalf. Sting fights both Nash and Angle off, deathdrop on Angle, victory for Sting.
Winner: Sting
Sting celebrates to send the fans home happy.
My thoughts: Thumbs up show!
