As with last week I am only talking about matches but I will be mentioning the various debuts during the show.
X Division Championship - Amazing Red vs Suicide. I'm not exactly sure how Red got a title shot here as he only came back into the company a few weeks ago, its not as though he was even a contender. Red had a good match but not a great match, Suicide was average at best and took the win retaining the title with The Suicide Solution.
Open Challenge Ladder Match - Doug Williams (with Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) vs Cody Deaner (with ODB). Basically this is a match to win a shot at the X Division title in the Feast Or Fired briefcase, not that there is any point as it belongs to Homicide and was not won off him it was stolen. Was that line from West & Tenay about Homicide not being there due to a death in his family a work or not? Highlights of this were Deaner taking a slam onto the ladder, Williams splashing the ladder onto Deaner, Willams making a suicide dive into the ladder over the ropes and Deaner taking a bump off the top of the ladder to the floor. Williams took the eventual win for the briefcase and the title shot.
Dr Stevie calls out Abyss & is about to whale on Lauren (the backstage announce girl) when Raven hops the barrier to stop it but ends up nailing Abyss with the kendo stick.
Womens Knockout Championship - Sojourner Bolt vs Angelina Love (with Cute Kip, Velvet Sky & Madison Tayne). Because they were interviewing Raven backstage before this match Bolt never even got an on air introduction but just before the belt she got a title graphic billing her as Sojo Bolt so they are now using the nickname that West & Tenay coined. Highlights here were Bolt hitting a great backdrop on Love as well as a nice front faceslam but Love took the win off the Lights Out. Cute Kip gets fired, Angelina Love issues an open challenge and former WWE Diva & twice Womens Champion Victoria comes out giving Sky & Rayne an absolute pasting (looking great doing it too) before duking it out with Love and giving her a great looking reverse neckbreaker.
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match - Eric Young vs Jeff Jarrett. I don't care how good a wrestler Young is, you always knew Jarrett was going to win this before he'd even laced his boots. An average match at best with Jarrett taking the win off a roll-through.
Team 3D finally present the $100k cheque and trophies to Beer Money.
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match - AJ Styles (who comes to the ring with 2 rappers doing his theme music) vs Daniels. Right here you have got not only the 2 best wrestlers in TNA but possibly the 2 most talented wrestlers in the business at the moment. I had to question why TNA had only given these guys just over 6 minutes to have a match in but they didn't really do a great deal, this was well below par for both of them. AJ made a nice Pele but Styles took the win off a Hurricanrana. As Daniels was left in the ring to contemplate his loss Shane Douglas jumped the barrier and got into the ring nailing Daniels from behind with a chain around his hand.
So this week hailed the returns of Raven and Shane Douglas and saw the debut of Victoria, apparently we will also see "Navy Officer" Jesse Neal have his in ring debut next week. According to news I read online TNA have also released Shane Sewell but Jaqueline is still working for TNA on a rotational contract with them using and paying her as and when she appears for them.
