The usual caveats apply, the views expressed are my own. I only speak about things I find interesting or feel will advance the brand of TNA. Interviews, video inserts & other non-wrestling related rubbish will normally not get a mention unless I feel the need to clarify something or complain about something. I have been known to swear before & almost certainly will again. If my views or how I state them offend then don't read this. All feedback will be answered.
TNA Impact 15th May 2008 - Show opens with Samoa Joe giving us Jim Cornette's 4 choices for the King Of The Mountain Match @ the upcoming Slammiversary PPV. They are Robert Roode (why are they still pushing this idiot?), James Storm (STILL pushing him too?), Tomko & Matt Morgan (shouldn't he have to actually fight someone worth beating before he gets into a match like this?). When Booker T came into the ring was that Eric Young in the crowd wearing sunglasses giving the thumbs up & down right behind Booker & Joe?
6 Man Tag Match, Lance Hoyt, Jimmy Rave & Johnny Devine vs Kaz, Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt. An extremely short match with Kaz getting the win off Lance Hoyt. I dont even want to discuss the post match storyline from WWF circa 1991. Everyone knows I think Lethals gimmick is dire & we predicted something like this idea being mooted the week they debuted his Machismo gimmick.
TNA Knockout Womens Championship, Gail Kim vs Awesome Kong. Was Kong supposed to go with that 1st hurricanrana from Kim & decided against it at the last minute? (Whatever happened there Kong made them both look stupid by not taking the move! I think Kong either screwed up or decided at the last second she wasn't going to put that move over). Likewise when Kong went for the 1st Awesome Bomb & Kim reversed into a rollover attempt did Kong deliberately decide to not let Kim do that move too? Gail Kim sold everything despite Kong's unwillingness to take half her moves (Kong is going to have made no friends amongst the Knockouts by pulling this kind of thing, expect LOTS of people no-selling her from today onwards!). Kong was basically taking the mickey by the time she totally no-sold Kim's knees to the face. Kong got the win after Angelina Love's interference. Quiet frankly I'm amazed there was no booing or chants of "B*lls**t!" after this match from the normally very observant crowd. I do expect Kong to receive a severe dressing down backstage for her total unwillingness to take certain moves from Gail Kim.
Kurt Angle bores us on the mic. It's storylines like this we DON'T need & we don't want in TNA.
Tag Match, The Motor City Machine Guns vs LAX (with Salinas & Hector Guerrerro). Shelley & Sabin are a great team who are always happy to put anyone over for the sake of the company. LAX may have taken the win but yet again The Guns were the much better team, selling well & putting their opponants over big time.
Knockout Tag Match, Angeline Love & Velvet Sky (Now collectively & officially calling themselves The Beautiful People) vs ODB & Roxxi (who seems to have changed her image since the head shave & dropped the Laveaux name - thankfully, it's incredibly hard to type & get right 1st time every time!). This match was pretty much all about the repackaged Roxxi showing her stuff & getting over by working well and lalso ooking impressive. Velvet Sky got the pin on ODB with an assist from Love as the ref was checking on Roxxi.
6 Man Tag Match, Team 3D & Booker T (carrying on his pointless heel turn) vs Rhino, Christian Cage & Samoa Joe. Basically this match was made by Booker T at the top of the show. Not a great match. Samoa Joe took the win off Devon with Team 3D taking out their post match frustration on Hector Guerrerro.
