Welcome one and all to the TNA Impact Report, the
one recap here at TWF that is pretty much all filler. I am Nicole, and I have a 103 degree fever yet am I still here to recap
this show for you. I suffer through Jeff Jarrett ego-trip promos, nonsensical Don West yelling, and a total lack of continuity
or grasp of what a modern day wrestling audience wants to see so you don't have to. You're welcome. The show opens with a recap of Jeff Jarrett's promo
from last week. The only part worth watching is the end of it. Why suffer through Jeff Jarrett and his extremely gay shirts
if you don't have to, right? Speaking of Jarrett, he's now on his way to the ring. And oh man, that is one nice shirt. I especially
like the way it doesn't properly fit him. But damn, if it doesn't match that guitar of his perfectly. At least he can coordinate.
(Filler.) Once in the ring, he says that as the founder of TNA,
he's proud to announce that they have signed what will be the greatest TNA acquisition of all time in Mick Foley. (Don't tell
Angle that.) Also, next week, he's going to be here. What the fuck!? I have to wait until NEXT WEEK!? WAY TO GO JEFF JARRETT!
You have completely taken away my one and only joy left in your company. Kurt Angle comes out. I told you he wouldn't like
that statement Jarrett made. He says that two years ago when Jarrett left, he single handedly made the company what it was.
Why isn't Triple H in TNA? All it is is one huge clash of giant egos. And hey, Trips is pretty much guaranteed at least six
title wins. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Jeff apologizes to Kurt for some of his comments from
last week. He promises Kurt that he will have AJ return his gold medal and in response, Angle kicks Jeff out of the ring,
only to bring him back in. The hell? Jarrett goes to leave the Impact Zone, but Kurt calls him a "little bitch." All of Jeff
Jarrett's childrens' names start with the letter J! Oh, the Rock 'N Rave Infection w/ Christy Hemme vs.
"The Blue Print (of genetic superiority)" Matt Morgan & Abyss I will state this one last time: I absolutely hate
Abyss and Morgan together. Alone, I can tolerate Abyss, and I still loathe Morgan, but together, they are not tolerable. Rave
and Abyss start out with Rave trying to get in some chops on Abyss, but it didn't work, so he tags in Lance Rock. Morgan gets
tagged in and he hits a Cross Body Block and tosses Jimmy Rave out onto the floor. Christy makes a distraction, but Morgan is still able
to tag in Abyss, who hits a Black Hole Slam on Rock and he then hits the Shock Treatment on Rave. Abyss could have ended it
after that. Why the fuck didn't he? Morgan gets back into the ring, hits the Hellevator on Rave and picks up the win. The
Hellevator is a horribly named move and the Mile High Club is a dumb name as well. Winners: Matt Morgan & Abyss Post match, Team 3D comes down to the ramp. They're
actually letting Devon speak tonight. He says that Morgan and Abyss' win at No Surrender was just a fluke. He said this
all last week, FYI. Devon runs down all their title wins, messing up all the word tenses in the process. For example: "eight
times ECW Champion." Brother Ray says that at BFG, it'll be Team 3D vs. Morgan and Abyss vs. any other team that wants t o
fight in a Monster's Ball match. What is a Monster's Ball? Wikipedia tells me it's a hardcore match. Okay, why couldn't you
just say that, TNA? Abyss freaks out at the mentioning of it. Rough Cuts with Roxxi. It's a big debate about hardcore
womens' wrestling and how it's so hard to see a woman covered in her own blood. No one seemed to care that much when I was
hit in the face with a baseball. There was blood. Lots of it. Just saying. Commercials. Lauren is with Beer Money. James Storm says that when
they looked for a manager, they didn't want a pretty face, they wanted the "baddest woman on the planet." Jacqueline completes
Beer Money and she was born to be a wrestler. Dammit, I love James Storm. Awesome Kong w/ Raisha Saed vs. Mercedes Steele I sense a squash. Kong shoves Steele down onto the
mat, but Steele is able to get in a couple of kicks and a Dropkick. Kong tosses Steele out of the ring and fights her around
there, until she's thrown back into the ring. The girl has awesome hair, but she screams like she's being eaten by a pack
of lions. Kong whips Steele into the corner and hits a Big Splash. Oh my God, this woman does not stop yelling. Shut the fuck
up. Seriously . She's worse then Angelina Love. She then hits an Awesome Bomb to get the three count. Winner: Awesome Kong After the match, Kong lays a chair out on the mat
and Raisha Saed hits Kong with a chair? What? She then unmasks and oh wait, it's just Roxxi pretending to be Saed. She attacks
Kong with a bunch of punches and stuff, and security comes in to stop her. Then, Saed suddenly decides to appear, all tied
up in ropes. I feel as if I could care about this a lot more than I do right now. Commercials. Karen's Angle with Christian Cage. Christian basically
says that he understands Sting's point of view on the whole respect thing, but he also understands the younger guys' as well.
Karen will not stop saying "right" this whole time. Bitch wants me to kill her. Karen asks which side he is on and Cage says
that he will take whichever side makes the better offer. She's mad that Cage is avoiding her question and continu es to be
an obnoxious bitch until Cage's phone rings and he leaves. Lauren is in the back with LAX. Hector Guerrero looks
ridiculous. Hector yells in spanish and says that Beer Money puts too much gravy on their biscuits...? I can't recap this
because I have no idea what he's saying at all, even when he's speaking in English. Commercials. Jeremy Borash is in Booker and Sharmell's locker room.
Booker says that where he's from, Africa, the king and queen never change. Why can't I understand what anyone is saying tonight?
He wants to know what "AJ" stands for and tells Styles to keep his enemies close, but his friends closer. I think you got
that one a little mixed up. LAX & Hector Guerrero vs. Beer Money Inc.
and Jacqueline; Losing team loses their manager James Storm comes out in the best helmet that I've
ever seen. Storm and Homicide start out. I'm (not so) secretly rooting for Beer Money here. Storm reverses and Irish Whip,
but Homicide is able to get in a Shoulder Tackle. Homicide batches Storm with a Belly to Belly Snap Suplex. Roode gets tagged
in and he and Storm double team Homicide. Hector Guerrero gets tagged in and he gets in a few
punches and Dropkicks on Beer Money. He can wrestle? He hits the Three Amigos on Roode, and Jacqueline runs in and attacks
Hector. He chases her up the ramp as we go to commercials. I changed the channel towards the end of the commercials
by accident and got seriously into another show. For that, I apologize. When I finally do come back, Hernandez hits Roode
with some strange Pounce variation. He then flys over the ropes taking out both Roode and Storm. In the ring, Homicide hits
a Gringo Cutter on Roode, but Jacqueline distracts the referee. Roode hits Hernandez with Storm's awesome helmet to get the
win. Winners: Beer Money Earlier in the day, Lauren was with Sonjay Dutt and
Val who were in bed together for ten days... oh, okay. Val is being so annoying. It sounds like someone is holding her nose
closed. This angle has taken a turn for the worst. Oh God, they're singing to me. Back in the Impact Zone and here comes Sting! It just
keeps on getting worse. He says that out of respect to his father and him, he listened to everything Jeff had to say last
week, so this week, Jeff will listen to Sting. STING IS NOT SWERVED! He knows the real Jeff. (I'm just quoting the man here.)
Sting says that Jeff asked him to come out of retirement and that if he came back, Spike would give TNA a TV deal. I highly
doubt that Spik e TV depends on 40+ year old men in face paint for TV deals. Sting starts showing pictures of all wrestling legends
and all the lessons they taught him. A huge "Hogan sucks" chant starts when his picture is shown, and that transitions into
an even bigger "overrated" chant. I agree with Ric Flair on that matter, but you'd have to have seen the 2008 HOF to know
what I'm talking about. Speaking of Flair, his picture comes up next. Flair put Sting on the map because he knew tha t Sting
had respect. Dammit Sting, you're repeating yourself for the 4th(?) week in a row now. Now, we see a picture of Samoa Joe. He doesn't know
how to be a champion because he needs to learn respect. A picture of Sting is up next. He says he will win and then leaves
the ring. Dumb and pointless. Commercials. Backstage, Abyss is yelling "no weapons" over and
over and over again and banging his head into something, I don't know what. Morgan says Abyss has to face his fears. Morgan
used to be afraid of flying, so he became a pilot. Oh, I thought he did it by replacing his DNA with someone who wasn't afraid
of flying. COME ON, MATT MORGAN DNA JOKES WILL NEVER GET OLD! Borash is in the back with Samoa Joe. He's surprised
Joe didn't come down to the ring when Sting was there. Joe says Sting being an absolute bitch (not a direct quote) has nothing
to do with respect, rather fear of Joe for taking his spot. Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed come in and thank Joe. Joe says
things are getting interesting. No they aren't. Things are getting repetitive. That's more like it. Commercials. Suicide promo airs. If this isn't Kaz, I will be beyond
disappointed and will probably have to kill a TNA official. Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Samoa Joe There's a good chance somebody's credibility is going
down the toilet here. Bashir throws some punches, but ends up being hit with a Front Body Drop. Joe hits some Knife Edge Chops
and Irish Whips Bashir into the corner to hit a Running Elbow. Bashir gets whipped into the corner, but he's able to Dropkick
Joe's knee. Joe then misses a Kneedrop. Bashir works on Joe's left leg, but Joe uses his right
leg to kick free. Bashir gets in a few Knife Edge Chops, but Joe reverses an Irish Whip. Bashir goes up for a Crossbody, but
Joe steps out of the way and hits an Inverted Atomic Drop. Joe then hits a Running Boot and a Senton Backsplash. Eventually,
Bashir gets in a Dragon Screw Leg Whip and locks on a Half Crab. Joe wouldn't submit, so Bashir continues to work on
Joe's knee in the corner until the referee pulls him off. Joe hits a One-Handed Chokeslam and a Muscle Buster for the win. Winner: Samoa Joe After his win, Joe says that he has Sting's respect
"right here" before putting Bashir in a Kokina Clutch while Joe's eyes roll into the back of his head again. I love that last
part so much. Four officials try to pull Joe off. The referee reverses the decision, so therefore... ACTUAL winner: Sheik Abdul Bashir Borash is in the back with AJ Styles. He says he's
proud of where he's from. Also, he has a message for Booker which will be delivered in the ring. Ohhh, he has a sparkly vest.
Commercials. Booker T w/ Sharmell vs. AJ Styles Christian Cage comes down before the start of the
match to watch. Styles is confused, but hey this TNA, what do you expect? Booker throws a knee and some chops in the beginning,
and eventually, a Roundhouse Kick. Styles sends Booker into the corner with an Irish Whip, and then hits a Styles Splash.
Booker gets Snap Mared into the canvas. Booker is able to fight back, but he misses an Ax Kick, so Styles gets in an Enziguri.
We cut to commerci als as Booker kicks out of a pin attempt. Booker hits a Side Suplex and drops his knee onto
Styles' chest. He then hits a Spinebuster, goes for the pin, but that only gets a two count. Booker then goes for a Rear Chin
Lock. Booker misses another Ax Kick (note to readers: Booker can never hit the Ax Kick). Styles gets in some Clotheslines
and a Springboard Flying Forearm which gets a two count. Eventually, Booker is in the corner, and as he moves
out, him and Styles collide. Styles falls backwards onto Earl Hebner taking him out. Sharmell got into the ring with that
mysterious briefcase of hers. TNA loves their horribly mystery angles. Cage takes the briefcase away from Sharmell, and Styles
turns around, confused as to why Cage has it. Booker attacks Styles, picks up the case, uses it on Styles, and picks up the
win. Winner: Booker T Cage looks pretty upset, so he walks around and awkwardly
stares at AJ. Styles screams at Christian, so Christian jumps onto the apron. They continue to yell at each other like six
year olds until the show closes. Well, that's it for this week. Notice how this is
on time? I can keep my word. And because of my word keeping, you're all going to do me a favor and SEND ME FEEDBACK, DAMMIT!
I literally received nothing last week, and suffice to say, I wasn't very pleased. So you know the usual deal: Myspace (www.myspace.com/142765268) or e-mail (fersureenic ole@gmail.com). I beg of you to come back next week so you can see such original material like Sting complaining
about the lack of respect in wrestling today. Wait, you mean he's been doing that every single week for the past month? Come
back anyway. Please?humor ego. Jarrett then comes back into the ring to tell
Kurt that he has no idea what he's been through, but he will never quit. Why not? Jarrett should quit. I'd actually like him
if he quit. DREAM MATCH TIME! Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett and Bound for Glory. Commercials.
Welcome everyone to the TNA Impact Report.
This week's show comes right after No Surrender, and my God, it was bad. So bad. I'm not one to depend on the "star system"
of rating matches, because dammit, no one will ever rate one match with the same amount of stars, especially when people feel
the need to go into negative stars, half stars and 3-quarter stars. It is all so unnecessary. This time though, I will make
an exception. Zero out of five for an AJ Styles match? Yes, it did happen! And now, I am directing you right here so you can read all about it for yourself, and drive yourself one step closer to suicide
in the process! Show opens with a No Surrender recap. It's
kind of funny, according to TNA, I'm supposed to care about what happens between Abyss and Matt Morgan. I don't. Not at all.
Tonight's show is called The Return of Double J. And if that's the case, then it's also the return of the mute button, long
bathroom breaks, and audible laughter on my part. Samoa Joe comes out. Joe praises Angle
and Cage for their match at No Surrender. Joe then says that while they're giving all they have, where is Sting? At home having
tea parties apparently. Joe is wrestling his ass off though. He says win, lose, or draw, he will die defending his belt. He
completely tears Sting apart. It was a seriously awesome promo. Jeremy Borash was talking with Jeff Jarrett
when he arrived earlier in the day. Borash wanted to know if Jarrett had something to say. No Borash, Jarrett just tortured
us with dumb promo packages that gave away his identity because he got perverse enjoyment from it. Actually... Jeff has something
to say and he hopes Sting is listening. At least that makes one us, huh? Commercials. Kurt Angle comes out in a suit. Angle in
a suit makes me laugh, although I can't tell you why. He was pissed off though, I can tell you that much. Don West makes the
best face ever. It was kind of one of those "please tell me that this goofy looking bitch isn't interrupting my nonsensical
yelling" kind of looks. He told West and Tenay that he has a message for Sting. Why does everyone have a message for Sting
tonight? Is Sting honestly that special that he deserves all of this special attention? No he's not. Anyway, Kurt also says
that he will get back his medal from AJ Styles by any means necessary. Security comes down to remove Angle. Motor City Machine Guns vs. Christian
Cage & AJ Styles As probably expected, there's a lot of
face paced action in the beginnings. The MCMG gain the advantage when Sabin is able to nail Cage with a Big Boot. Shelley
and Sabin work over Cage with a few back and forth tags in and out, but Cage is eventually able to avoid an Enzuguri by Sabin.
Therefore, Sabin hits Shelley with it instead. Why does it look like Chris Sabin is wearing a skirt? Cage gains the advantage for his team with
an Inverted DDT, and rolls over to tag in Styles. He flies into the ring with a Missile Dropkick. Christian hits a Frog Splash
on Sabin and Styles hits a Flying Forearm on Shelley, and a Styles Clash on Sabin to pick up the win. Winners: Christian Cage & AJ Styles After the match, Styles shakes hands with
Shelley and Sabin. Once Cage offers his hand though, Shelley flips him off. This is a very strange type of heel turn. My AIM
icon of Alex Shelley's face will still remain though, no matter how bad TNA makes the Motor City Machine Guns look. If you
dislike the MCMG, I dislike you. Cage flips out and the referee has to separate the two teams. Jeremy Borash is with Booker T. Booker feels
that Jay Lethal is disrespecting Randy Savage with his imitation. So
Booker isn't disrespecting every single race in the world by
imitating them very poorly? I still love Booker T. Booker had a
briefcase and when Borash asked about it, he was thrown out of the
locker room. Commercials. Promo package airs for the Steel Asylum, which
was previously known as the Terror Dome. At least TNA is starting
make a small amount of sense. Lauren is with Sheik Abdul Bashir.
Bashir mumbles incoherently in Arabic before talking about
presidential candidates and the stock market. That somehow
transitions into a speech about how the X Division title is now his
hostage and he has nothing to lose. I'd make countless amounts of
terrorism jokes, but seriously, why bother? It's all too
obvious. Petey Williams,
Johnny Devine & Jimmy Rave w/ Christy Hemme vs. The Prince
Justice Brotherhood Prince Justice Brotherhood has the early
advantage for a while, but Jimmy Rave is able to send Curry Man down
onto the ring apron, and Petey Williams dives over the ropes and
hits a Hurricanrana onto Curry Man. While outside, Christy Hemme
slaps Curry Man a few times before he's sent back in. Devine works over Curry Man, but misses a
forearm shot, and accidently hits Petey instead. Super Eric is in
and the match completely breaks down, with everyone attacking
everyone and whatnot. Super Eric hits a High Cross Body Block
onto Williams and gets the three count. Winners: The Prince Justice
Brotherhood Upset about their loss, Rave and Devine start
yelling at Petey. Jimmy Rave shoves the ref out of his way to go off
on Williams. Lance Rock (who still terrifies me more than you will
ever understand) runs down and shoves the referee aside. But hell
no, crazy referee will have none of that! He proceeds to help Petey
attack Rock and Rave. Jeremy Borash is with Sting. He tells Sting that
Jarrett has something to say (as does the entire TNA roster
apparently). Sting said to speak now or forever hold your peace. Do
I have a say in this? If so, then please Jarrett, I'm begging you,
hold your peace forever. Commercials. Promo for Bound for Glory. You know, I'm
thinking I'll order it. Anyway, Mike Tenay hosted a press conference
to honor.... wait for it... seriously, it's worth it... MATT
MORGAN'S SUPER AWESOME AMAZING POWERFUL DNA~!1!!1!! God, I can't
even recap this. Too much laughter. Lauren is with Matt Morgan and Abyss. Morgan
apologizes for blaming Abyss for something that happened on Sunday.
I really don't know what. Abyss rips some of his hair out as a gift
for Morgan. Then, Morgan pulls out a small bottle of his DNA for
Abyss. Okay, I lied. But how awesome would that be? (So awesome.)
Morgan mentions the tag team invitational at Bound for Glory. Team
3D runs in and says they just got lucky at No Surrender. Security
comes to pull them away, and Brother Ray adds Team 3D to the tag
team invitational. Commercials. Jackie is with LAX in the back and she totally
tears into Hector Guerrero before slapping him. Hector began waling
towards Jackie, but Beer Money jumps him from behind. Hector is
getting destroyed at ringside until Homicide and Hernandez run out
to make the save. Traci Brooks then comes out and demands that she
go see Cornette. Someone should tell Traci that if she were doing
her job right, Jackie never would have slapped Hector to begin
with... Rough Cuts with Roxxi. She's not as interesting
as Consequences Creed. She trained with men and has a "hardcore"
mind set, though. Back in Cornette's office, Traci is mad and is
screaming at everyone. I can't stand her voice either. But it's
better than Angelina Love's so I will accept it. Next week,
Jacqueline will be in a mixed 6 person tag match with the losing
team losing their manager. Oh how creative. Highlight package of everything Sting has done
recently. I've always believed that when someone needs to argue a
point, they should have enough reasons to argue so that they can
stretch it out each week. Not Sting though. He seems to enjoy boring
me to death with the same 3 points, repeated in the same exact
words, every single week. Sting makes his way down to the ring. He rambles
on and on and on about how there's no respect in TNA. Gee, when did
I hear that one before? He calls Joe stupid or something. The crowd,
for some strange reason, is actually supporting him. He has a few
tricks up his sleeve for Joe. Hopefully, one of them is disappearing
and never coming back. Ever. Promo package airs for Suicide (the only
playable character in the storyline mode of the Impact video game).
Whoissuicide.com then shows up. If you ever look at the page, you'll
notice that the writing on their looks like a really bad poem that
some 4th grade wrote for english class. Jeremy Borash is with Christian Cage and AJ
Styles. Style says him and Cage are on the same page, but Cage
doesn't like how Styles is speaking for him. This made Styles mad at
Borash for starting this whole thing to begin with. I hate nonstop
backstage segments. Commercials. Lauren tries to talk to Jay Lethal. Why can't
anyone fucking wrestle already? He was visibly upset over Val's
betrayal. He should have seen it coming. Everyone else saw it
coming. He says he wants to hurt Val and Dutt. Rip out her tongue so
she can't talk anymore. I'd love that. Jay that says he will
disrespect Booker's ass all over the arena. I truly love that last
sentence. Booker T w/ Sharmell
vs. Jay Lethal Lethal sends Booker to the floor with a
Clothesline over the top rope. On the outside, Booker is sent into
the ring post. He's then rolled back into the ring and is hit with a
Missile Dropkick. Sharmell jumps up onto the apron to cause a
distraction, which works, so Booker is able to gain the upper
hand. Booker works Lethal over with some chops and
knees and other things of that nature. Booker misses an Ace Kick
though, so Lethal gets in a few forearms, but is tripped by
Sharmell, letting Booker hit another Axe Kick to get the pin
fall. Winner: Booker T In the back, Lauren is with the Not So Beautiful
People. Angelina is upset that she has a pimple on her face or
something equally dumb. My ears are now bleeding. Velvet Sky &
CUTE KIP vs. Taylor Wilde and Rhino Wilde hits a few Hip Tosses on Velvet Sky, who
crawls over to Kip and tags him in. Rhino enters and he misses a
Gore, so Velvet Sky sprays perfume into his eyes while Kip distracts
the referee. The Incredibly Annoying People (so, so lame)
work over both Rhino and Taylor Wilde in their corner, but Kip
misses a Corner Splash, and Rhino tags in Taylor. Velvet Sky is in
as Rhino Gores James. Angelina Love runs out with a pipe and gives
it to Velvet Sky who swings at Taylor Wilde and misses. Either way,
she ends up getting rolled up, losing for her team. Winners: Velvet Sky & Kip James As Wilde and Rhino celebrate in the ring, Sky,
Love, and James jump in to attack. Kip hit the Famouser on Rhino.
Taylor Wilde is able to sneak in and hit a Double Clothesline on Sky
and Love. Just as Kip James was about to hit Wilde, Awesome Kong
comes out (what?). Taylor jumps off the top rope and goes for a
Crossbody that knocks Kong onto the floor. Commercials. Back, and Rhino and Wilde are laid out. Kong
whipped Wilde into the steel railing, which is why she was just
laying there. Commercials. Jarrett comes out to a STANDING OVATION! WHAT?
WHY!? Jeff said he wanted to give all the young hopefuls a chance
after WCW folded. He wanted TNA to be a place where kids could get
their big break. I guess over time, ideals changed. Jeff then asks
for Sting to come down to the ring. Once Sting entered the ring,
Jeff talked about Jerry Jarrett giving Sting his first big break.
This whole segment is just Jarrett praising himself and his family.
Jarrett also says that everything Sting has been saying isn't true.
Jeff completely bashes WCW and talks about how Angle, Booker and
Sting only want to take, not give. Kurt Angle then came down. Jeff tells Kurt that
he used Kurt to replace him when he had to take tome off. I could
make a very thorough list of reasons why Angle and Jarrett are not
even in the same league. Wrestling ability is one those reasons.
Jarrett talks about all of Kurt's loses, and says he only has his
dignity left to lose. Angle yells that he carried TNA all alone for
two years. Kurt challenges Jeff at Bound for Glory. Jeff said he was
here not as wrestler, but as the founder of TNA. Aw man, so no super
exciting dream match that I've been waiting 8 years to see? So sad.
jeff has something for Kurt though. We then cut to a video of a smiley face with
barbed wire wrapped around it. I am starting to like where this is
going. Mick Foley shows up on the screen (!!!!) and says "What I
think Jeff is trying to say is... It's real. It's damn real. Band
bang!" TNA then fades to black, and that's all for this
week. That was horrible. Seriously, it was not a good
show. I thought I was done with the nonstop backstage segments after
my first recap. But, I cannot properly put into words the love I
have for Mick Foley, so the ending to tonight alone saved it for me,
and saved it in a big way. Yes, I am actually EXCITED about
something TNA is going to be doing. Well, that does it for this week. I'll drop all
my typical hateful comments now and actually apologize for a few
things. Yes, you did read that right. First off, the details this
week sucked, so I'm sorry. Also, I'm fully aware that the recaps for
the past two weeks have been posted late. That's because I've sent
them in late, and for that, I'm sorry. Too much schoolwork, you
know? But that ends this week, so all three of you who actually care
about TNA (but not enough to watch it yourselves) will once again be
satisfied every Sunday. Feedback goes to my e-mail address
(fersureenicole@gmail.com) or Myspace
(www.myspace.com/142765268). Just don't
add me unless you have some strange need to. Messages can be sent
either way. And with that, I shall be seeing you all next week for
another nonsensical episode of
Impact.
Welcome everyone to the TNA Impact Report! I'm
not going to write a real introduction this week because face it,
there's a good chance none of you even bother to read this part. And
hey, I don't blame you. A person can only take so many repetitive
Sting and Matt Morgan jokes, right? Right. But in any event, today
is 9/11 (or at least it was when I wrote this introduction), and I'd
hate to be the one to make a j oke out of such a huge tragedy, but
you can expect some crazy Sheik Abdul Bashir antics tonight.
Clearly, TNA has no sympathy. Once you plague my television with
Semi-Pretty People and CUTE fucking KIP, plane crash noises in your
entrance music is such a small thought. Anyway, onto the
show. A
video package airs recapping last week. TNA can make their shows
seem so interesting with these, but the shows themselves reek of
something that is the complete opposite of awesomeness. Tonight's
show is called "Double Trouble for Sting?" The hell? Jeremy Borash is outside with Sting. Sting says,
and I quote "Jeff Jarrett". Insight! Joe comes down to the ring
through the crowd. He calls Sting out in the creepiest way possible.
He says everyone is gunning for his belt and he won't leave without
getting Sting's head on a silver platter. So WWE was right about all
Samoans being savages after all? Nash walks out, but Joe tells him that he still
has to put hands on Nash. Joe asks the crowd "whose next?" Just so I
can avoid making an outdated Goldberg reference, he was talking
about Nash. Nash makes a dumb analogy, something about hypocrisy.
This whole segment is met with awkward silence. Nash ends it by
saying tonight, Joe will face 3 different men to prepare for No
Surrender, and Joe agrees to matches. Lauren is in the back with the Minimally
Stunning People. Angelina Love, you're a wreck. And dammit, Kip
James, you drive me closer to suicide each and every week. Funny how
she criticizes the WWE Divas and their look and how WWE made her
remove her braids. And yet, she goes to TNA, a company that would
not care if she had braided hair, and she looks like the most
stereotypical WWE Diva ever. Just saying. Commercials. Abyss vs. Christian
Cage Fuck, Matt Morgan is teaming with Abyss to take
on Team 3D at No Surrender? HAHAHA, have fun suffering through that
show! Cage gets shoved down to the mat after a lockup, and ducks out
of a second one and punches Abyss. After some more offense, Abyss
gets in a Shoulder Block. He then misses a Running Back Elbow, which
allows Cage to hit a few Knife Edge Chops. Cage goes up top, but
Abyss punches Cage's chest a few times. Cage fights back with a few punches of his own,
but gets a knee from Abyss in return. Abyss gets in a Front Body
Drop, but Cage is able to regain the advantage with a few
Clotheslines and a Corkscrew Back Elbow. Cage goes for a pin but
gets tossed across the ring. And yay! It's the freak referee! He
says he will never get involved in a match physically again. That's
code for, "hey, Vince Russo has this amazing swerve planned for No
Surrender. Guess whose walking out champion?" Christian Dropkicks
Abyss' knee and attempts to his a Frog Splash, but Abyss catches him
in a Chokeslam instead. Cage manages to escape and goes for an
Unprettier, but Abyss powers out and attempts a Belly to Back
Suplex. Eventually, Abyss hits a Chokeslam and goes for the pin, but
Cage kicks out at two. Cage hits the Unprettier, but before he can
go for the pin, Angle and Booker T rush down to the
ring. Winner: No Contest Booker and Angle attack Cage, and Angle goes out
of the ring to grab a chair. Kurt gave the chair to Abyss who is
supposed to hit cage with it, but he does not. Instead, he attacks
Kurt and Booker, so therefore, they attack him. Come on, a few years
ago, Abyss could have eaten both of these guys alive, and now he
can't even get in a bit of offense. Abyss truly is Kane. OH CRAP,
MATT MORGAN IS HERE! Is Matt Morgan gonna have to use his su perior
genetics to kill a bitch? Yes, yes he is. Morgan and Abyss vs. Angle
and Booker later on. Commercials. Back and Borash is in the ring. It's beauty
contest time. Fuck, there's evening gowns, bikinis and talent? The
Prince Justice Brotherhood are the judges. Kip James finally has
pants on! Taylor Wilde's dress looks like the one I made out of
newspapers for my fashion class final last year, just to inform you
all. Okay, I'm taking a bathroom break here. You really won't miss
much. Winner of Evening Gown Contest: Taylor WIlde Lauren is with Sonjay Dutt in the back. Him and
Lethal are fighting in a Ladder of Love match at No Surrender. So
Cal Val is on the line. I couldn't make something like that up. He
says ruining Jay's life is worth it because Jay had Val. Also, he
will win by any means necessary. Commercials. Karen's Angle with Sting. I don't need this.
Sting will never shut up, I'm convinced. Sting says he was ready to
walk away and retire. Why didn't he? He wants to bring respect back
to the business, blah blah blah, repetitive. Sting only has 3 points
to argue and when you do so 3 weeks in a row, you put people to
sleep. Karen also says "Jeff Jarrett," and Sting says he can't wait
to hear from him. Okay, so it' ;s time I ask this: is Sting a heel
or a face? To quote one of my favorite people of all time, I DON'T
KNOWWWW! There's a rundown of the incredibly poor card
for No Surrender. I am asking, no, scratch that, I am BEGGING you
not to buy this show. Do it for your own sanity. Not ever recapper
and columnist here would do that for you, so you should be thanking
me. AJ Styles heads out to the ring. I bet he yells
about something. I think TNA has been repeating the same episode of
Impact for 3 weeks now. Oh, I'm right by the way. He says Frank
Trigg should be in the ring right now and getting killed by Styles.
Commercials. For those keeping track, we've only had one
match in 45 minutes worth of Impact. Anyway, Trigg does in fact come
down. He says some 3rd grade insults and transitions that into a
really, really bad stand-up routine. He then asks no on in
particular if him and AJ will fight at No Surrender. Apparently,
yes, they will. Three five minute rounds, winner walks out by
getting in a submission. Seriously, are you still considering buying
this sho w? Trigg offers a handshake, Styles accepts. Trigg calls
him a "little bitch" so Styles slaps him, they fight, and security
separates. Lauren is with Christian Cage. He cuts an
amazing promo saying that in three seconds at No Surrender, he will
become the World Heavyweight Champion. I'm sure I could have found a
joke to make somewhere, but I'll take the high road and not do it.
Why? Because I love Christian Cage. That's why.
Commercials. Time for the second part of the beauty pageant.
It's a bikini contest. I was trying to think of a legitimate excuse
for being about to skip this. I realized I could just say "no, I
will not recap this". So, there you go, no. I will not recap this.
Winner of the Bikini Contest: Angelina Love Awesome Kong w/
Raisha Saed vs. Roxxi; Bimbo Brawl Bimbo Brawl, huh? For a company that says how
much their women's division deserves respect, "bimbo" is quite the
degrading term. Roxxi is thrown into the guardrail and then into the
crowd and then into a retaining wall, which broke upon impact. Kong
whips Roxxi towards the steps, but Roxxi jumps onto them, grabs
Kong's head and slams it into them. Commercials. Roxxi has a trash can lid. She kicks Kong in the
chest and Kong stumbles into the corner. Roxxi attacks Kong with the
trash can lid, and knocks Kong off her feet with a kick to the
chest. At some point, Kong goes Steve Blackman on Roxxi's ass with a
bunch of tricks with a steel pole. She set up a chair and hits a
Drop Toe Hold to send Kong into it. She then Face Planted Kong into
the chair as well. Kong it able to hit a Decapitation Clot hesline
and slams Roxxi on a chair. Kong missed a splash from the top rope
and hits the chair instead. Roxxi gets a two count from that, and
eventually a chair thrown into her face by Kong. Roxxi is a bloody
mess, so Kong hits an Awesome Bomb and gets the win. Winner: Awesome Kong After the match, Kong tasted Roxxi's blood. I'm
moderately repulsed. Roxxi was about to get another Awesome Bomb,
but ODB runs out for the save. Kong and Saed fled, so she beats the
referee instead. Does Saed paint her face now because people finally
began to realize she is white and has a really bad fake accent?
Commercials. Samoa Joe vs. Johnny
Devine Joe hits a Spicoli Driver. Winner: Samoa Joe Samoa Joe vs. Lance
Rock w/ Jimmy Rave and Christy Hemme Lance Rock is actually able to get in some
offense. Nothing important though. Joe locks on a Kokina
Clutch. Winner: Samoa Joe Samoa Joe vs.
Tomko Tomko looks so happy, which is strange because
she's about to have his ass handed to him, and all. Joe hits a
Superkick and goes for a Muscle Buster, but Tomko counters it.
Eventually, Tomko gets caught in an Inverted Atomic Drop. Joe hits a
Running Book and a Senton Back Splash. Tomko gets a Tree Slam for a
two count. He goes for a Powerbomb, but Joe reverses it. Joe its a
Muscle Buster. Winner: Samoa Joe Nash says he's been proved wrong and says he has
taught Joe everything he knows, so now Joe is on his own. They shake
hands and hug in the middle of the ring. Then Nash kisses Joe's
head. Awww. Commercials. Back and it's time for the Talent Competition.
Once again, I'm not recapping this. Holy hell, Angelina Love sings
worse than Jillian Hall. This is not how I like spending my Saturday
night. Taylor Wilde plays drums, Curry Man dances, she is good. Good
enough to win. Winner: Taylor Wilde Taylor got a crown, a sash, and roses. Kip James
is angry. Just fucking great. Wilde gets beat with roses. Rhino
comes to save her. Again? I don't get this. Booker T w/ Sharmell
& Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan & Abyss I
will put minimal effort into this match because that's what it
deserves for having Matt Morgan involved. Morgan starts against
Angle, hits a Side Slam and almost picks up the win already. Abyss
is in and he hits a Big Boot on Angle and we go to
commercials. Back, and Morgan is slamming Angle down onto the
mat. Booker T is able to distract Morgan, which allowed Angle to
gain this advantage. Booker and Angle work over Morgan's leg in the
corner, but Morgan blocks a Suplex attempt, and hits one of his own
on Angle. Abyss is in and hits Booker and Angle with a Double
Clothesline. Tenay mentions how they'll be doing stories on Morgan's
DNA going to space in the next coming weeks. I laugh ed at
incredibly high volumes. Abyss hits Booker with a Black Hole Slam while
Morgan and Angle fight on the outside. Team 3D sneak out and hit
Abyss in the head with a steel chair. Angle uses that to his
advantage to pick up the win. Winner: Kurt Angle and Booker T After the break, Sting is in the ring and he
spells Jeff Jarrett for us. He invited Jarrett out, but Joe is in
the rafters and asks Sting if he's really disrespectful, or is Sting
just insecure. Joe wants Sting at No Surrender, and he won't be
there alone, because Jeff Jarrett's music plays and Jeff Jarret is
here, on top of the entrance ramp. I'm not excited whatsoever. As a
matter of fact, I may never have felt so much apat hy in my life.
And that's it. Show's over. What the fuck? No Sheik Abdul Bashir? So TNA
does have some decency after all, huh? I guarantee you I regret
typing that last question by next week. Well, that wraps it up for this week. I'm pretty
low on creative ways to end this at the moment, so I'll make it
simple. If you don't send me feedback, I will break into your house
while you're sleeping with a hammer and chop you up into tiny bite
sized pieces. Just kidding. Or so you hope. Either way, you can send
whatever you'd like to send to my Myspace (www.myspace.com/142765
268) or e-mail (fersureenicole@gmail.com). Come back next week.
Seriously. I need all the readers I can
get.
Welcome to the TNA Impact Report. This
week just so happened to be my first week back at school, and
I suffered. By that, I mean no air conditioning, a horrible
schedule, and some of the worst teachers ever placed on this
planet. Therefore, expect lots of ridiculing tonight. I'll get
immense pleasure from taking my anger out on Velvet Sky and
Matt Morgan. And before we continue, I should mention that I'm
fully aware ho w awful my spelling was last week; no need to
remind me. That's because I typed the entire recap on my cell
phone. Yes, that's right, my cell phone. So shut the fuck up
and stop your bitching. Tonight's show opens with a recap of
Sting's promo from last week. You know, the one where he
turned his back to the 600th wrestler and asked them to hit
him with his bat. No one who looks like Gene Simmons can bring
respect anywhere. The title for tonight's Impact is "Hahaha,
Rape! Whadda Funny Theme! Let's Base Our Whole First Segment
On It!" Okay, that's a lie, but seriously, it might as well
have been. I've grown used to the video game
entrances, therefore, I no longer mind them. Sting is going to
address the fans again tonight. Maybe he won't be so boring
this time. I'm giving Sting one do-over. He fucks this one up,
and I will still continue to hate him forever. Kurt Angle comes out in the most
ridiculous looking sunglasses. Booker T and Sharmell soon
follow. Booker is going to speak, so I'm excited. I don't
think I can emphasize this enough: I LOVE CRAZY BOOKER T.
Angle says Booker and him are what real world champion's
should look like. They carry themselves with dignity, honor
and respect. Except when they pass a Wendy's. I don't know,
shit goes crazy around fast food joints.
Booker says pretty much every single thing
Angle says, just in different words. No need to recap that.
Kurt says they will take out the winner of Styles vs. Cage and
then they will insert the guitar up Jarrett's ass and make an
example out of Joe by humiliating him. Hey, Joe isn't Michael
Cole! What, is Heidenreich on the TNA creative team
now? Cage comes down after this, obviously a
little nervous about the potential rape, and says he will
become a 3 time World Heavyweight Champion. Booker asks just
what the hell Cage is thinking and says something I didn't
catch, but dammit, if I wasn't laughing. Cage eventually calls
Booker, Whoopi Goldberg, which angers Angle. He says things
can do down the easy way or the hard way. I'm still thinking
of rape, so I can't take th is seriously. Cage runs to the
ring and goes after Booker and Angle, but gets double teamed.
Styles runs down to the ring and attacks both men and sends
them running out of the ring. Jim Cornette magically appears! He says
that if Booker or Angle interfere in their match later, both
will lose their spot in the 4 Ways to Glory match. Hmm, I
wonder what Frank Trigg is doing tonight. Styles and Cage
shake hands in the ring. Jeremy Borash is with Samoa Joe. Joe says
that Nash preaches for him not to lose his temper, but his
temper made him lost last week. Hypocrisy! He also says that
he's going to put "a lot of hands" on him once he sees him
(strong sexual theme becoming even more apparent at this
point). Joe says Sting makes money from wrestling, not
preaching. Commercials. Rough Cuts with Consequences Creed. As you
know by now, every week we learn a new lesson, and this week
is no different! TNA is the American Dream. (So Bashir raped
TNA?) Oh, and Creed has really yellow teeth. Lauren is in the back with Bashir. She
asks why he started a personal war against TNA, to which he
replied with "hsjfigjdigdfogmdfg dsafidsfjd hdisfd". Bashir
also mentions that after a "certain act of terror" occurred,
the Americans took everything away from him and now he has to
take everything back. Sheik Abdul
Bashir vs. Consequences Creed; X Division title #1 Contender's
Match This seems like a sort of fall-back feud
to me. You know, the "American Hero" vs. the typical
Anti-America Arab. Sooooo original TNA. How did you ever come
up with that one? Anyway, Bashir hits a Backdrop and is able
to get a near fall. He then locks in a Chinlock, but Creed is
able to break free. Creed hits a Somersault Clothesline, but
misses a Splash in the corner. That allows Bashir to get the
quick roll up with hit feet on the ropes for leverage. I find
it funny that during this whole match, West said that everyone
will cheer for Creed because he's American. You obnoxious
racist asshole. Did it ever occur to you that some of what
Bashir says actually makes sense? Winner: Sheik Abdul Bashir Didn't Bashir mention how unfair it is
that 9/11 limits his freedom? Yet he uses a plane crash noise
in his entrance music. I am confused. BUT WAIT~!!1! It's not over! Creed
explains what happened to the ref, and the referee restarts
the match. That never, ever works, dude. Creed attempts a
Sunset Flip, but Bashir grabs on to the ref and the ropes to
stop him from falling down. The referee actually kicks
Bashir's arms off of the ropes, and Creed picks up the actual
win. Winner: Consequences Creed Sheik is mad, so he slaps the ref. The
referee proceeds to enter Ric Flair mode and is able to
absolutely destroy Bashir. I LOVE TNA! Borash is with Nash now. Nash says he
doesn't think Joe will ever listen to him, but there's a lot
of truth in Sting's words. He says if Joe won't listen to him,
maybe he'll listen to Sting. Lauren is with Beer Money who have a "huge
announcement". (Here's a spoiler: It's not at all huge).
They're the last characters named for the TNA video game.
Storm says he drinks too much to play video games, and Roode
mentions the royalties of it to him. The Prince Justice
Brotherhood steps in and Super Eric says they will be pulled
from the game to protect the kids. Yes Super Eric, because
Beer Money is such a horribl e influence on children,
especially when compared to Abyss. An awesome little
promo/argument goes down after. A ridiculous, over-dramatic
Abyss promo package follows. Commercials. Dammit, the Kinda Sorta Pretty People and
Kip James are backstage. He still needs more clothing. I
refuse to recap their segments. Velvet Sky, why do you
articulate so much? No one cares what you have to say, so why
bother? Fuck no. Not a beauty pageant. TNA is becoming WWE.
And I had hope. At least Angelina Love didn't
speak. Beer Money vs.
Shark Boy & Super Eric Curry Man missed his entrance. He was
supposed to be in Shark Boy's place. We then see footage of
Curry Man in the back with Christy Hemme who looks to be
stripping for him. I sense a ploy. In the ring, Beer Money is
working on Shark Boy, and we cut to the back where Lance Rock
and Jimmy Rave have laid out Curry Man. Back in the ring again, Super Eric comes
in to try to help Shark Boy, but Hebner didn't see a tag so he
pushes him out. Storm hits a Superkick on Shark Boy and Roode
hits The Payoff for the win. Winners: Beer Money After the match, Hernandez comes down, but
Beer Money runs off. Homicide comes back, looking like a
pirate, and attacks Beer Money from behind.
Commercials. Abyss vs.
Johnny Devine w/ Team 3D This is part of Abyss' open challenge. I'm
tired of these things. Team 3D volunteers Devine to compete,
and he shocked. He shouldn't be. He's the only jobber. Devine
tries to attack Abyss with any weapon he can get to before he
gets eaten alive. Team 3D tries to distract Abyss, but it
doesn't work so well. Abyss gets in a Chokeslam, and picks up
a chair, but won't use it. Winner: No contest? I think. Team 3D comes in and attacks Abyss from
behind. But here comes Matt Morgan. <- That was a period,
not an exclamation. Matt Morgan doesn't deserve exclamations.
He's in the ugliest shirt I've ever seen. I'd laugh so hard if
Abyss hits Morgan with the chair... but he doesn't, so
therefore, ABYSS, I HATE YOU! Lauren is with ODB, who runs into the
men's bathroom. They play horrible fake farting effects while
this goes on. Commercials. Lauren runs up to Sting's car outside the
Impact Zone. Can't she just wait until he goes to the ring to
explain himself? Sting won't answer her. Serves her
right. Raisha Saed
vs. ODB Raisha Saed looks like she's attending a
somewhat formal dinner, not a wrestling match. Saed is tossed
out of the ring and into the guardrail. ODB attempts to do it
again, but Saed counters and sends ODB into it instead. ODB
gets Dropkicked off the ring apron. Once back in the ring,
Saed misses a Moonsault off the top rope. ODB is able to pick
up the win with a Running Power Slam. Winner: ODB After, ODB attempts to unmask Saed about
700 different times. Literally. She then disappears but
eventually comes back with Saed's mask in her hands. Kong then
comes out and attacks are we go to commercials. Back, and Saed brings a chair in the ring,
but Roxxi comes and takes a chair, and Kong gets one too, and
they have a sword fight, only with steel folding chairs. Roxxi
ends up getting an Awesome Bomb onto a chair. Dammit, more Beautiful People and Kip
James preparing for the horrible filler segment next week.
Fuck, Angelina spoke. And they have a dumbass handshake too.
Commercials. West and Tenay run down the horrible,
miserable, painful card for No Surrender. Four matches?
Really? Video package airs for Cage's history with
Styles. Jeremy Borash is in the back with AJ
Styles. He asks if Styles can concentrate considering what
happened last week. Styles says Sting has done nothing for
this generation and that if he wants respect, he needs to earn
it. He mentions how he respects Christian Cage, but will win
his match tonight. Commercials. Christian Cage
vs. AJ Styles; 4 Ways to Glory Qualifier Cage gets the early advantage by knocking
Styles off the ropes and onto the floor. Cage misses a dive
out onto the floor, so Styles slides under the ropes and
connects with a Hurricanrana. Christian hits a Neckbreaker and
is able to get a 2 count. Styles is able to fight back and hit
an Inverted DDT. The action is pretty much back and forth at
this point, but Cage is able to his a Frog Splash that gets
another 2 count. Styles gets in a Back Drop, but misses the
Spiral Tap. Cage is about to hit an Unprettier, but Styles is
able to counter that and shove Christian into the ref. While
the ref is down, Frank Trigg (toldya so) runs down and hits
Styles with a kendo stick and runs away. Cage isn't aware of
what happened, so he hits the Unprettier for the
win. Winner: Christian Cage After the match, the same really bad Jeff
Jarrett promo package airs. Sting is walking down to the
entrance ramp. Commercials. We get another recap of Sting's promo from
last week and they somehow made it not put me to sleep. Sting
thought he was going to be booed out of the building last
week, so he thanks the fans for cheering him because he knows
they want respect back in the business. To be honest, I don't
need respect back, I need Raven back. Raven, and lots of
violence. But hey, that's just me. He says without the fans,
there's no wrestling, TN A, or Sting. HE IS NOT BEING VERY
HEELISH! Sting mentions that if you don't stand for
something, you'll fall for anything, and asks us where we
stand, which is totally irrelevant. Joe comes out and says in
20 seconds he will be standing on Sting's throat. (Oh God).
Sting gives Joe is bat and turns around again. You're routine
is old, man. Joe says he doesn't need the bat or Sting's
respect, and when you turn your back on the future, you're
bound to regret it. Joe pulls out a weapon of his own, but
Nash makes his way down to the ring. Nash tells Joe to do
whatever he needs to do without a weapon. After he says that,
Sting attacks Joe with the bat and hits the Scorpion Death
Drop. Jarrett's music plays, and it takes Tenay about an hour
to notice it. Sting says Jarrett has got his attention and
he's ready to talk. I'm confused and hey, Nash is
too! And so ends this week's Impact. To be
honest, Joe saved that last segment in my mind. Sting just
bores me beyond comprehension; always has, always will. Once
again, I encourage you to make my week better by sending
feedback to my Myspace (www.myspace.com/142765268) or e-mail
(fersureenicole@gmail.com). You know, despite
what it may seem like here , I'm actually a pretty decent
person to talk to. And now I'm done with my own whining. So
I'm Nicole, and just like Cody Rhodes when the word "charisma"
is mentioned, I'm
out.
