My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 9th Oct 08

Tonights show opens with Christian Cage waffling about the cr**py respect angle. Booker T interupts as does AJ Styles as does Jim Cornette who books a match then parodies Bookers stupid accent. You know a gimmick smokes goats when Cornette is better at it.
No DQ Match, Cute Kip vs Rhino. C**p match with Kip taking the win after goring Rhino through a table with the assistance of The Beautiful People who'd sprayed Rhino in the face.
4 Way #1 Contenders match for the X Division title, Petey Williams vs Sonjay Dutt vs Jay Lethal vs Consequences Creed. It seems Russo is STILL shilling the Dutt/Lethal feud despite the fact its now incredibly old and tired. Williams was back on old form, Creed was selling well too. Lethal was looking better than I've seen him work in a while but Creed took the win off a backslide on Dutt.
Karen's Angle with Mick Foley.
Video insert, Steve "Mongo" McMicheal will be the guest ref for the Monsters Ball match at the PPV.
Beer Money vs Matt Morgan & Abyss. Awful match, Abyss wins off the Black Hole slam on James Storm.
Mick Foley comes out to the ring to talk about fashion. Jeff Jarrett tells Kurt Angle his worst mistake was hiring him & returns Kurts gold medal.
Knockout Tag match, Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed vs Roxxi & Taylor Wilde. You had to question the sense of booking this match only days before 3 of the competitors are due to meet at the PPV. Kong very nearly had another costume malfunction in this match, I guess she really didn't learn from last time. The finish to this was kind of predictable with Wilde kicking Roxxi in the head when Saeed ducked. Kong won off the Impant Buster on Roxxi.
Grudge Match - Booker T vs AJ Styles with Christian Cage as special guest referee. Even Styles couldn't carry this match on his own, it really does show exactly how bad Booker T is as a wrestler. He has power and persona but he has almost no wrestling moves at all - a rookie could have done his job a lot better in this match. Styles wins off a suplex that could have been a win for either guy as they BOTH had their shoulders down. Cage nailed both Booker & Styles after the match.
Sting & Samoa Joe sign the contract for the title match in the PPV, the stipulation asked by BOTH men is there will be NO rematch.
