My TNA Weekly Catch-up, Impact 8th May 08

As per usual, these are my views written how I speak. If you don't like what I say or how I say it then don't read them. I will answer feedback from anyone.

Impact 8th May 08 - Jim Cornette draws the 1st random team from the egotistical 8 for the Deuces wild event, Sting & James Storm are drawn as the 1st team.

Non Title 6 Person X Division Match - Curry Man vs Jimmy Rave (Since has he been part of the X Division?) vs Consequences Creed vs Johnny Devine vs Shark Boy vs Petey Williams (with Rhaka Khan). Devine & Creed kicked this one off, I do like Creed & hope they use him well as he's shaping up pretty darn good so far. Creed tagged in Curry Man (Chris Daniels seems to be enjoying himself more in this angle than any previous angle they've ever ran him under in TNA to date), Shark Boy tagging himself in after Devine surprised me by using an actual nice looking move!
Devine tagged out to Jimmy Rave with Williams tagging himself in off Rave. I didn't see either Devine or Rave get tagged but both came in (Technically Jimmy Rave tagged HIMSELF in when he was beating up Shark Boy), Rave tagged Devine back in (legally this time). Devine tagged out to Rave after missing something off the top rope (I couldn't tell what move he was trying, possibly a shooting star press?) & Shark Boy tagged out to Curry Man at the same time.
Petey Williams Hurricanrana on Curry Man from inside the ring whilst Curry man was outside on the floor was insane! This certainly got a lot better once everyone was fighting with Jimmy Rave taking the eventual pin off Curry Man but anyone could have won that & would have deserved it too because they all worked hard and ALL worked well. WWE should take notes from matches like this (which clearly had NO Russo involvement because it was entertaining!).

TNA Knockout Immunity Match aka Shears On A Pole. This'll be the work of Mr No Imagination Russo, whoever climbs the pole 1st & gets the shears WON'T get their head shaved @ Sacrifice. Angelina Love vs Velvet Sky vs Traci Brooks vs Jacqueline vs Salinas vs Christy Hemme vs Roxxi Laveaux vs Gail Kim vs ODB. Were West & Tenay even watching this match? Gail Kim pulled a snap hurricanrana on Roxxi & they said "what a great move by Roxxi Laveaux", blind fools! This was a great match though, no friends or allies, everyone whaling on everyone. Some wicked bumps taken, I'd take 1 TNA Knockout over ALL the WWE Divas any day of the year. Gail Kim got the shears, winning herself immunity from having her head shaved @ Sacrifice.

No DQ Match, James Storm vs Sting. After being chosen as team mates then busting up at the top of the show, Cornette booked this match. I don't think there was ever an opening bell for this one either. This was always going to be Sting winning, it was just a matter of when & how. The table in the ring was a bit of a dead giveaway as to how, Sting did the Stinger Splash through the table then the Scorpion Death Drop to take the win off his new tag partner.

Cornette draws the 2nd random tag team. Matt Morgan & Kip James are drawn as the 2nd team who then fight.
Matt Morgan vs Kip James - Morgan took the win. Nothing worth talking about.

Tag Team Grudge Match, Scott Steiner & Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash. Nash & Angle started this one off, this is possibly THE most wrestling Kev has done in the last decade. Steiner took the pin off Nash after Angle floored him with the Olympic Slam (did Angle appear to be in pain in his left leg when he was "lifting" Nash up? Or was it just me seeing that?).

Oh, and MARK THE F**K OUT for the trailer for the new animated Star Wars Movie - The Clone Wars (coming August 15th!).
