Tag Match, Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir vs Daniels & Suicide - It seems no-one told the in-house announcer this was a tag match, we didn't actually find out until West & Tenay told us moments before Bashir walked out. Kaz in the Suicide costume is still not doing the zipline entry yet so it seems he is still not sure about that leg injury being fully recovered. Suicide was taken out of the match near the end by Lethal Consequences & The Motor City Machine Guns beating him down to the backstage area as Bashir had the ref distracted with a fake ankle injury which also allowed Shane Douglas jump into the ring to hit Daniels with the chain letting Kiyoshi make the easy pin. Very weak match indeed, the finish didn't help either.
Tag Match, Consequences Creed & Chris Sabin vs Beer Money - The weird team of Creed & Sabin is only together to have a pop at Storm & Roode, it was probably explained in more detail during the interview that I skipped past. If I'm honest this started s**t & got worse when The British Invasion tried to do a run-in that was stopped by Team 3D. Beer Money took the win off the DWI on Creed. P**s poor match.
Knockout Match, Daffney vs Taylor Wilde - Wilde took this out of the ring right away introducing Daffney to the steel steps in a nice bump, they cut to a different camera so you wouldn't see Wildes scrappy series of punches to Daffneys head then clearly Russo had a storyline inspired brainfart and sent Dr Stevie & Raven out which distracted Wilde long enough for Daffney to get the upper hand. Stevie distracted Wilde a second time and Daffney took the win off The Lobotomy (its a spinning suplex and looks great!), this would have been a better match without the interference though. At a time when Jimmy Hart is trying to start a women only wrestling promotion called Wrestlicious (by basically hiring the entire SHIMMER roster) TNA needs to be letting their women have matches with no gimmicks and clean good finishes if they want to stay ahead as far as womens wrestling on tv goes.
Prematch interview with Jesse Neal, for those wondering the USS Cole was a real ship & it was bombed by Al-Qaeda and Engineman Second Class Marc Nieto was killed in that bombing, Jesse Neal was aboard when it happened too. Is this a 1st in professional wrestling where a wrestlers entire character is based on 100% fact?
Matt Morgan vs Jesse Neal - Neal is a product of the Team 3D wrestling school as well as having received some personal training from Rhino, whats surprising is that TNA didn't use Neals Navy nickname that he was given aboard the USS Cole "Real Deal" Neal (I expect now I have mentioned it here TNA will conveniently "discover" he was called that & start using it in the near future but remember I used it first right here. Initially Morgan sold & jobbed fairly happily to Neal who WAY oversold his first bump from Morgan who took the expected win off The Carbon Footprint. Neal needs to work on his selling, if he wasn't taking bumps this hard from Devon & Ray during training then I would be VERY surprised but I am sure we'll be seeing more of him hopefully against some more evenly matched opposition next time.
King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match in 6 Sides Of Steel, Kevin Nash vs Samoa Joe - Lethal Lockdown rules apply here which means the cage is sealed and weapons are legal but the win is still by pin or submission. Joe went at it with a kendo stick from the bell flooring Nash who was trading Joe shot for shot with a kendo stick of his own too. This was never going to be a great match as they had only been given 5 minutes to fill anyway and insanely enough they took a commercial break less than a minute into the match? I have the exact same issues with WWE and it needs to be said to TNA too, Impact is pre-recorded ahead of time, can they not work matches around the commercials as surely I can't be the only fan on the planet who is sick to death of matches being interupted by commercial breaks taken at incredibly stupid moments? When we came back from commercial Joe was on top and Nash was looking glazed until he hit the low blow to give himself breathing room, Joe took the eventual win after breaking a hockey stick across Nash's back to make the pin.
I've already worked out exactly how Tazz is going to debut, once Joe beats Scott Steiner & Booker T next week there will be a match against either Sting or Kurt Angle. Samoa Joe will come out as he has done in the last few weeks in the same outfit & towel over the head but keep his head covered until both men are in the ring and when the bell rings the ref will come over to make him remove the towel which will be taken off to reveal Tazz.
I'm already predicting it right now so when it happens you can say you heard it here first weeks before it ever happened.
