After a quick review of the Victory Road PPV the show opens with Taz coming out to the ring to speak in his classic black & orange clothes.
X Division Championship - Samoa Joe (and Taz) vs Homicide. This was as dull as hell with no action until Joe punched the ref, Homicide tried 3 different finishers which Joe sidestepped all of and locked in the rear naked choke hold but once the ref recovered he called for the bell. The ref DQ'd Joe so Homicide took the win and retained his title. Joe started the beatdown then some music hit and Hernandez came out but Taz advised Joe to bail.
Backstage s**t with Mick Foley then the MEM come out to the ring to yack.
Legends Championship, Amazing Red vs Kevin Nash - Due to some thoughtless billboarding d**khead from RSPW I already know Red lost this, Nash took the win off the Jack Knife Powerbomb to retain his title.
Tag Team Championship, Scott Steiner & Booker T vs Big Rocco & Sally Boy - Rocco & Sal came out of the faces entrance tunnel. A really c**p match where Steiner barely kicked out of a frogsplash from Rocco as Sharmell also distracted the ref, Booker hit the worst chokeslam/bookend I've ever seen with Steiner taking the win off the front face slam.
10 Knockout Battle Royal, ODB vs Alissa Flash vs Sojo Bolt vs Daffney vs Taylor Wilde vs Awesome Kong vs Angelina Love vs Velvet Sky vs Madison Rayne vs Tara vs Sarita - Making a welcome return was Traci Brooks coming back to her role as Knockout Law, the winner of this match gets $50,000 and becomes the MEM's "chosen one". Despite being billed as having 10 people in there were actually 11 as Sarita wasn't introduced.
Awesome Kong eliminated Daffney 1st then Madison Rayne 2nd, Taylor Wilde eliminated Sojo Bolt 3rd, Tara eliminated Velvet Sky 4th, Alissa Flash eliminated Taylor Wilde 5th, Sarita eliminated Alissa Flash 6th (so it seems Raisha Saeed is now dead & gone with no explanation then?), ODB eliminated Angelina Love 7th, Awesome Kong eliminated ODB 8th, Awesome Kong eliminated Sarita 9th leaving Awesome Kong & Tara as the final 2.
Tara (with the assistance of Traci Brooks) eliminated Awesome Kong but in a completely unexpected twist Traci Brooks also eliminated Tara and Kevin Nash awards Traci Brooks the prize.
10 Man Tag Match, The British Invasion, Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir vs Beer Money, AJ Styles, Daniels & Eric Young - With Young having already turned heel the result of this match was always going to be in question with Young as part of the face team. At last Rob Terry is finally having his 1st match as part of the British Invasion, the match was average at best with order eventually breaking down and everyone brawling. AJ had Brutus Magnus set up for the Styles Clash but Young hit a piledriver on Styles allowing Brutus Magnus to take the easy pin for his team.
Keys On A Pole Match, Kurt Angle vs Mick Foley - From the mind of that retard Russo, whoever gets the keys takes control of Mick Foleys office. I assume that also means they have the power that goes with that office too otherwise this match is not only s**t but totally unimportant. Not a good match at all, Foleys Superplex was nice as was his Double Arm DDT. Foley had the match won and was about to get the keys when Samoa Joe and the rest of the MEM did a run in forcing the ref to call for the bell (assuming Foley won on a DQ off outside interference). Angle berates Foley and Bobby Lashley comes out, Angle gives him the signal to take Foley out and Lashley floors all of the MEM on his own and to be honest he completely telegraphed that swerve.
Tonights Impact was pretty s**t and certainly didn't make up for the c***py PPV this weekend, I liked the twist in the Knockouts match and that was about it.
