The usual caveats apply, the views expressed are my own. If you don't like what I say or how I say it (because I am known to swear) then don't read this. I will answer all feedback (and welcome it).
Impact 22nd May 08 - Tag Match, Brother Ray vs Homicide. This was actually a semi-decent match before Devon ran in. It was thrown out as a DQ on Ray for outside interference. Devon prevented the pin that was almost a clean win. Hernandez made the save there & Booker T stopped that save. They should have let this go to a clean win for Homicide with a post match beatdown from Team 3D. TNA is in sad state when even I can write better matches than Russo.
Knockout Match - Angelina Love (with Velvet Sky) vs ODB. A nice if somewhat short match, ODB on top for most of the match but Angelina Love getting the win after Velvet Sky hit her with the flask. A Russo inspired finish there or what? Rudy Charles totally deserved that Voodoo drop from Roxxi, did anyone else think it was utter bull that he didn't intervene when Love had the shears on ODB though? I wish ref's were more consistant, be it kayfabe or not.
Samoa Joe's 4 choices for the King Of The Mountain Qualifiers - AJ Styles, Rhino, Christian Cage & Booker T (Kevin Nash was expecting Joe to pick him?).
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match, Robert Roode vs Matt Morgan. Not a match I expected anything from & was proved to be right. Roode got the win by using the ropes but would have won as I suspect Hebner was going to DQ Morgan for picking him up like that.
Some Kurt & Karen Angle storyline rubbish that no-one ever wanted to watch & was never a good idea ever anyway.
Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed challenge female fans over 18 in the Impact zone to beat Kong & win $25,000. (I assume the girl who volunteered was also the voice off-camera we heard screaming "I need time!" just before the challenge was read out as she wasn't in position yet?)
Awesome Kong vs Melissa Wilfred of Eerie, Pennsylvania (there's more than 1 place called Eerie? I thought it was in Indiana). Kong won with a very badly botched Awesome bomb. If Wilfred was a jobber then she wasn't a very good one as she contributed a lot to the utter screw up of the Awesome bomb by smashing herself in the face with her own knee. She didn't give any real offensive so if she was a jobber I assume she was told to do nothing against Kong.
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match, Booker T vs AJ Styles. Awful match, Booker T won with the assist from Tomko.
The post match beatdown was a lot more interesting than the actual match. Karen Angle coming to AJ's rescue was getting lots of boos & thumbs down from the crowd (they cut away from that reaction shot VERY quickly!). Styles must have been bleeding like crazy as his blood was everywhere, it was over Karen's top, Tomko's fists & Brother Ray's face. Not a very good Impact at all this week. Matches were well below the usual standards. ODB made this Impact a LOT better with her interview & match.
