My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 2nd Jul 09 reviewed

After totally ruining last week for me this weeks Impact review will be results only.
Cody Deaner (with ODB) vs The Amazing Red - Amazing Red took the win off The Redeye (modified Tornado DDT). Ok match for Red actually.
Eric Young vs Rhino (with Jesse Neal) - Young took the win off a Schoolboy Roll-up with some help off his feet on the middle rope. Poor match which didn't help further anyone involved.
Knockout Tag Match, The Beautiful People (with Madison Rayne) vs Awesome Kong (with Raisha Saeed) & Tara - Kong took the win off the Implant Buster on Sky. Good match for Tara, everyone else was average.
#1 Contenders Tag Match, Team 3D vs Scott Steiner & Booker T - Can anyone explain why the announcer called this a "non-title match", MEM have no title anyway & 3D had left their IWGP titles in the locker room. Booker T took the win after Brutus Magnus nailed Brother Ray in the head with the Feast or Fired case as Doug Williams distracted the ref. P**s poor match, even worse finish.

Jethro Holliday vs Jay Lethal - Or not seeing as Abyss jumped him & Consequences Creed backstage. No result as no match took place. Thats called a RUSSO FINISH.
Tag Match For The TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Jeff Jarrett & AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe - Stipulations were if Styles or Jarrett pin someone then they win the belt & likewise if Joe or Angle pin someone they retain the belt. Angle took the win with the Ankle Lock off Jarrett after Jarrett "passed out". Ultra weak finish.
As well as having to fend off competition for its current audience share against WWE Superstars TNA is now also facing competition from Fox who are broadcasting CMLL Wrestling also on Thursdays. With no storylines and just wrestling I think this will be the show that finally kills TNA, the dolly birds in bikinis on the entrance ramp is going to help them there too. If TNA really want to compete and survive then they have to listen to their viewers. Dixie Carter, its time to fire Russo & hire Paul Heyman.
