My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 11th Jun 09 reviewed

No storyline stuff, backstage stuff or video packages will be mentioned.

Tag Match, Alex Shelley & Jay Lethal vs Team 3D - Awful match with zero spots to speak of, it was dull and got worse when The British Invasion did their run-in which distracted the ref allowing Doug Williams to nail Devon with one of the Feast Or Fired cases which led to Shelley taking the easy win off Devon.
Nation Of Violence 1st Blood Match, Scott Steiner vs Samoa Joe - If Joe beats Steiner he then has to face Booker T. There was never really any "if Joe wins" with the way his current storyline has been going, it was always a foregone conclusion he'd win. Steiner took it to Joe outside the ring and was on top throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. Steiner was soon quelled but control of this match went back & forth between both guys, Joe took the eventual win after beaning Steiner with a garbage can over his head using Steiners trademark Lead Pipe.
Nation Of Violence 1st Blood Match, Booker T vs Samoa Joe - This one also started outside the ring and again control switched hands a few times with Joe taking the eventual win after hitting Booker in the guts with the Lead Pipe.
Shane Douglas vs AJ Styles - Pretty poor match, Styles was ok but Douglas was never all that great at his peak and was pretty slow here. Styles took the eventual win off the Flying Armbar.
Knockout Match, Madison Rayne (with The Beautiful People) vs Tara (Victorias new TNA name) - Is it just me or does Tara look a bit like Fran "The Nanny" Drescher? Rayne set out applying an armbar that was reversed with a beautifully executed cartwheel from Tara, I've got to say clearly whatever rumours WWE have been trying to involve Tara in has clearly focussed her mind on the job. Tara hit a nice front flip legdrop onto Rayne who just kicked out of a pin attempt but Rayne had a comeback after Love distracted Tara long enough for Rayne to get a breather, Tara was overselling by a mile but Raynes Spinning Neckbreaker looked ok.
Tara came back after Rayne missed a dropkick although her execution of a kick to the guts looked scrappy & Raynes sell on it didn't help matters that greatly either. The Standing Moonsault was very nice but Tara took the win off The Widows Peak. Not a great match but a decent enough start to Tara's official TNA career.
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match, Kurt Angle vs Sting - This match couldn't have been less interesting if they'd tried (what twat in the crowd was chanting "This is awesome", it was p**s poor!) Matt Morgan nailed Sting allowing Angle to take the win off the Angle Slam. SUPER BORING.
