My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 31st Jul 08

Most of tonights wrestler intro's showed graphics from the upcoming TNA game which is relased in September, it looked damn cool!
#1 Contenders Tag Match, Beer Money vs Rhino & Christian Cage. Predicting Beer Money to win this before the match ever started to allow LAX to get a return match against Beer Money at the PPV. Awful match with nothing worth talking about happening in it & an even worse Russo inspired finish. Beer Money win after interference by Jaqueline & Team 3D. And that's how predictable this match was.
6 Man Tag Team Contest - Johnny Devine & The Rock 'N Rave Infection vs Curry Man, Shark Boy & Jay Lethal. West & Tenay proving to be their usual observant selves "Watch Johnny Devine as he takes that knee & puts it in the neck of Curry Man" - funny place to have a neck, the knee was right on the ribcage of Curry Man. A pretty weak match considering the X Division talent involved, Lethal got the eventual win pulling the Lethal Combination on Jimmy Rave.
Booker T gives his personal tour of the 6 Sides Of Steel with weapons. Samoa Joe joins him & the crowd are screaming "Joe's gonna kill you", Nash was keeping the cage door shut and Joe jumped Booker & started punching 7 shades of shite out of him. Sharmell comes down to try and stop it & gets carried off by Nash, Joe watches them go and a baseball bat is dropped into the ring on a cord. Booker nails Joe yet again and West & Tenay are still seeing Sting where Sting wasn't seen.
AJ Styles demands answers from Sting. Does no-one get that you can buy a bat like that in ANY sporting goods store. It's not like there's just 1 and it belongs to Sting - How stupid do TNA think we are? Styles gets jumped by Kurt Angle.
Consequences Creed vs Petey Williams. It's a non-title match so it doesn't really matter what the result is, kinda like TNA's version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway". Williams is obviously fully healed up now after his broken orbital bone as he was taking headshots & finally doing aerial stuff (including an amazing Hurricanrana from in-ring to the floor). Creed took the eventual win which was pretty predictable as he's getting a big push at the moment.
Part 2 of Karen's Angle with Kaz. Does anyone believe the "I'm leaving" story for a second? No, me neither.
Matt Morgan vs Sal Rinauro (ROH Alum) - Morgan took a quick win off the Hellavator. Morgan calls out Tomko who comes out but Security breaks it up. Tomko jumps Morgan but gets put down by the big boot then takes the Hellavator. And its seeing Tomko work an angle like that makes me disbelieve reports of him "leaving TNA".
Main Event Knockout Tag Match, The Beautiful People vs Gail Kim & Taylor Wilde. Who was that Gail hugged when she came down the ramp? Her sister maybe? Wilde & Sky kicked this one off with Sky jumping Wilde once her back was turned but soon running to tag in Love once Wilde gave her legs a few hard kicks. Love & Kim had a good long run together with Love mainly on top. Kim dropkicked Sky & Love allowing Wilde to get the roll-up and pin Sky for the win. The post match beatdown was predictable as well (and is now happening far too often show a distinct lack of creativity) but Kim & Wilde fought back to gain the upper hand until Awesome Kong came down to the ring. Kim was given the Awesome Bomb and Wilde got one too. ODB & Roxxi came out to face off to Kong who finally did bail out after seeing Roxxi had a chair. Probably the best match of the night but it didn't really have much competition for that status.
