My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 16th Oct 08

Apologies again for another late Catch-up, unfortunately life and Doctor Who got in the way this week. Anyway, the usual caveats apply - I talk about stuff I feel is relevent so I rarely mention interviews or backstage segments, I have been known to swear but real people do talk like that. The views contained within are my own and if you don't like them then either don't read it or just killfile me.
Tag Match - The Motor City Machineguns vs Sonjay Dutt (with SoCal Val) & Sheik Abdul Bashir. Dutt and Sabin kicked this off in the way an X Division match really should be done with lots of fast and high risk moves. Shelley came in and generally owned Dutt until Val pulled him off the apron (did she flub that because she walked away trying to conceal the fact she was laughing into her hand?). Sabin dived in to keep the pressure on with a nice Hurricanrana on Dutt, Shelley made a lovely frogsplash and took the win for the Guns. A great match for the Guns, as per usual champion Bashir did almost nothing at all. Angle's beatdown on the Guns & Dutt was utterly pointless.
Sting comes out to blow his own trumpet only to be interupted by AJ Styles.
Hernandez vs Booker T. AWFUL Match, Booker doing mainly mat based wrestling, Hernandez did almost nothing as well. Booker took the win after hitting Hernandez with the briefcase.
More Kurt Angle bulls**t and Mick Foleys "farewell".
Raisha Saeed (with Awesome Kong) vs Roxxi. Saeed tried to jump Roxxi from the bell but Roxxi ducked it. Saeed soon took control and Roxxi took some nice hard looking bumps especially the 2 surfboard holds from Saeed. Roxxi dodged the dropkick and then started to take it to Saeed. Roxxi went outside the ring and also took it to Kong only to get a clothesline but Kong missed the spinning backfist and hit the ringpost. Roxxi got back in and hit Saeed with the Voodoo drop (which it seems their now calling The Cajun Drop?) to take the win. Kong hit her with The Implant Buster during her celebration.
Advert for Hogans Celebrity Wrestling. I assume everyone already knows Dennis Rodman won this?
Kevin Nash vs Consequences Creed. Nash took the win off the Jack Knife Powerbomb. Very poor match even by Creeds normally good standards.
Kurt Angle vs Matt Morgan. In a match made earlier during the show after beating up anyone he could find Angle was matched against Matt Morgan after Jim Cornette rang the show from Las Vegas. Morgan had the better of the match, it looked like Angle wasn't willing to take the Hellavator as the move was not executed properly. Either Angle didn't trust Morgan or he was fighting the move which didn't allow Morgan to do it correctly. Angle took the eventual win off a VERY scrappy looking Olympic Slam.
