My TNA Monthly Catch-up, Aug - Sept 06

Before I get started a few things. TNA still can't get it timings right and still go to commercial in the middle of matches. Can't they do this during backstage interviews? Plus they have to stop calling samoa joe undefeated because he isn't. a loss is a loss, this pinfall/submission only b**ls**t is exactly that. joe is defeated, get the f**k over it TNA. Anyway, now here's the highlights of the last 6 weeks.

17th aug 06 - daniels & styles get beat down by LAX, Naturals win a title shot, Killings jobs to joe & their still calling him undefeated in 14 months (B**LS**T! wot about the belt lost to senshi?), jarrett dares sting to put his career on the line for a title shot.

24th aug 96 - christian cage comes to the ring and bores us. rhyno sells a c**p chair shot.
zybsco's wigs get worse. sting puts his career on the line, jarrett promises a public execution, LAX meet styles & daniels in a border war title match, konnan cheats LAX to the win.

31st aug 06 - LAX come out & bore us. Sharkboy jobs to eric young, christians c**p heel turn continues, runt Vs abyss in the 10,000 thumbtack match (how was this not held back for a ppv? answer = worst ending EVER!) - raven puts abyss thru 2 tables of thumbtacks, jarretts execution is 3 guys dressed like PIRA (google those initials, ok?) and the public execution of stings career. nice word play jeff. the impact zone show what marks they are. cornette tells jarrett he's taking a polygraph.

7th sep 06 - LAX try a warm-up match against jobber nobodies (the mack brothers). the james gang run with sharkboy & norman smiley against amw, maverick matt & kazarian. gail kim cheats them to a win. jarretts polygraph (was he SMOKING a cigarette on Tv?). heel cage v killings in a very even match. rhyno bores us on the mike. jarret fails the polygraph, cornette
makes a fans revenge lumberjack match against samoa joe at the no surrender ppv.

14th sep 06- styles & daniels go against maverick matt & kazarian. raven v abyss in a hangman match (another ppv style match with a poor finish). cornette reinstates earl hebner as a ref, cornette hikes up samoa joes unbeaten run to 18 months (it was 14 months mere weeks ago, and it's still B**LS**T - senshi took the x division belt from him). I'm assuming the female "fan" jarrett knocked down was some jobber.

21st sep 06- jarretts bores us on the mike bleating about how he's a victim, issues an open challenge and samoa joe comes out. jarrett hip tosses a male "fan" over the railings (yet another jobber, no doubt). norman smiley jobs to eric young who's obviously getting a push now. monty brown v rhyno in a falls count anywhere match, cage interferes and gives yet another s**t chair
shot to rhyno. bobby roode speaks to sensational sherri in another of his series to scout managers. LAX bore us on the mike, styles beomes a pinyata. and despite having the ultimate x ropes up for over 3 weeks of taping we saw no such matches take place.

No Surrender PPV 24th sep 06 - eric young v A1, A1 jobs in EY's continued push.
petey williams v jay lethal. wlliams jobs & i hope the Jackass people paid jay lethal & his guys a lot to pull all that jackass style b**ls**t over the last few weeks.

Abyss vs Brother Runt vs raven in a no dq match. abyss wins, no shock there.

Tag battle royal - amw, the naturals, the paparazzis, sharkboy & norman smiley, kazarian & maverick matt, ron killings & lance hoyt, diamonds in the rough and the james gang. (who put out who) - norman smiley by elix skipper, elix skipper by lance hoyt, lance hoyt by kazarian, jonny devine by truth, sharkboy by alex shelly chase stevens by maverick matt, maverick matt by truth, david young by truth, truth by alex shelley, bg james by alex shelley, kazarian by maverick matt from the outside, alex shelley by kip james, james storm by kip james, chris harris by kip james (who cheated his way back in cuz the refs never saw him touch the floor due to a fight on the ramp), kip james by chris harris (illegally).

amw v the naturals tag match (right after the battle royal). naturals win after help from the james gang.

x division championship. sabin vs senshi. sabin tries to pull some b**ls**t jackass stunt but senshi wins.

christian v rhyno - an over-long match that was pretty even. cage wins off an unprettier off a chair behind the refs back.

interview with styles & daniels (who shows no sign of the 2 head cuts he recently got).

Ultimate x tag championship match - styles & daniels V LAX. daniels takes the win for his team. awesome match, specially the angels wings thru a table.

Fans Revenge Lumberjack match - jarrett Vs samoa joe (non title contest). jarrett padded himself up in as many layers of clothes as possible for this. (i counted 3 layers in total) we saw the female "fan" in pink and the black male "fan" in yellow that jarrett had hit over the last 2 weeks (definately jobbers, as most likely were the rest of the lumberjacks). the cameramen in
a very in a very bad position to show how fake the stroke into the guitar was. joe wins off a musclebuster (and jarrett was strapped 7 separate occasions by the fans).

cornettes announcement #1 - impact goes prime time on november 16th.
cornettes announcement #2 - angle is coming to TNA. it's damn real!
(oh, and i noticed some FU cena shirts in the crowd).
