My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 4th Sep 08

Kurt Angle & Booker T come out to bore us on the mic.
#1 Contenders Bout - Sheik Abdul Bashir vs Consequences Creed. I can see how they might think Creed is a contender but Bashir has been in TNA all of 5 minutes and wrestled no-one at all so how is he considered a contender? During the match we have yet another flash frame for WhoIsSuicide.Com as their talking about the new TNA game. Creed was on top for all of the match until Bashir got the win off a roll-up using the ropes as leverage. The match was restarted after protests from the fans and Creed, Bashir was trying to cheat his way out a roll-up by grabbing the ref then the rope, Creed took the eventual win. I assume "referee" Shane Sewell was a former wrestler (having just checked Wiki, yes he was). I expect to see more of him wrestling fairly shortly after reading his rather impressive Wiki CV.
A new TNA Knockout promo (which no longer features Gail Kim).
Non-Title Tag Match, Beer Money (with Jaqueline) vs Curry Man (who doesn't come to the ring) & Super Eric, Shark Boy replaces Curry Man who is shown backstage with Christy Hemme. Roode takes the win in this dull match. Curry Man gets beaten up by The Rock N Rave Infection after Hemme had distracted him. Hopefully this means his gimmick will be over and done with pretty soon?
Open Challenge Match, After last weeks "Karen's Angle" Abyss has put out an open challenge to anyone. Abyss vs Johnny Devine who is "volunteered" by Team 3D into a hardcore match. Possibly THE worst hardmatch to have ever taken place anywhere at any time. I assume the match was thrown out as a DQ on Devine after Team 3D entered the ring? Matt Morgan made the save, it looks even more likely these 2 are going to become a new tagteam.
Raisha Saeed vs ODB. ODB yanked Saeed out of the ring and started this one on the ramp which Saeed was happy to respond to. Whilst talking about the upcoming TNA game we had yet ANOTHER flash frame advert for WhoIsSuicide.Com. ODB eventually got the upper hand and won off a pretty sloppy looking running powerslam. A fairly decent match for both women though. The whole "unmasking" thing was a bad idea as any intelligent fan already knows who Saeed is under the mask anyway. Kong jumped ODB and nailed her with the Implant Buster in the ring. Roxxi saved ODB from an Awesome Bomb into chairs but ended up taking one herself. If Traci Brooks is supposed to be Knockout Law, where the hell was she whilst all this was happening?
Four Ways To Glory Qualifying Match, Christian Cage vs AJ Styles. Generally this way a very even & pretty uneventful match until the shitty ref bump (all ref bumps are s**t, please learn this simple fact TNA) and Frank Trigg's interference. Cage and the ref never saw it and Cage hit the Unprettier to take the win.
Sting, Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash come out to bore us on the mic.
