My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 13th Aug 09 reviewed

Christy Hemme vs Sojo Bolt - Hemme is making her return after damaging her neck training with AJ Styles many months ago, Bolt didn't even merit an introduction. In fact her name wasn't even mention by the colour desk until well into the match, has she done something wrong recently then? Am I the only person who noticed Bolt copping a big old feel of Hemme's boob before she went for the 1st hairpull?
Hemme was pretty over with the Impact Zone crowd who chanted "You suck" at Bolt although Hemme sold a backbreaker fairly badly but Bolt had a bad landing of her own (unless it was a f**king amazing sell) falling right onto the top off her head after Hemme flipped her over her back. Bolt flubbed something (its impossible to call what move she was going for) after she caught Hemme attempting a cross bodyblock. Hemme took the win off the FFG and its nice to see her back on the active list again.
Doug Williams (With Big Rob & Brutus Magnus) vs Hernandez - Poor match, Hernandez took the eventual win off a Sit-out Powerbomb that Williams sold well.
Tag Match, Rhino & Jesse Neal vs The World Elite in the shape of Eric Young & Sheik Abdul Bashir (with Kiyoshi). P**s poor match, Eric Young took the win off a roll-up on Neal with the help of a handful of shorts.
4 Way Knockout Contest, ODB (with Cody Deaner) vs Awesome Kong (with Raisha Saeed) vs Angelina Love (with Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne) vs Tara - Tara went right for Kong leaving ODB to have at it with Love, ODB made short work of her hitting the fall away slam and went to beat on Kong with them trying a double team that failed after Kong hit a double clothesline. Kong tried to rush them again but they side stepped leaving Kong to go flying over the top rope bumping the apron to the floor. ODB hit a top turnbuckle Cross Body block onto Kong, Saeed & Deaner and Tara did likewise into The Beautiful People but slightly overshot and hit her head (you see her reaching for her head right after the fall) in a bad landing.
Coming back from the break Tara was in-ring jobbing to Kong when Tenay pointed out Taras bad landing, as Tara dragged Kong out of the ring to the floor Love was owning ODB getting a near fall off the Botox Injection. Kong stopped a near fall after ODB hit a nice running powerslam (a la Davey Boy Smith) on Love, ODB took a hard looking chokeslam off Kong and Deaner had to get up on the apron to run interference on Kong (which included kissing her) and was brought into the ring the hard way then took an Awesome Bomb which was distraction enough to allow Tara to run back in and take the win off a Schoolboy roll-up. Not a bad match at all really.
No DQ Match, Scott Steiner (with Booker T & Sharmell) vs Brother Ray (with Devon) - I wondered how long this match would stay clean and sure enough it wasn't long with Booker being 1st to interfere but Devon evening the score. Steiner had been set up to get tabled when The British Invasion did a run-in (clearly Russo was working this show then) and that was long enough of a distraction for Steiner & Booker to get back on top with Booker dispatching Devon under the top rope then helping hit Ray with a double chokeslam through the table which allowed Steiner to take the win.
Mick Foley & Kevin Nash sign for the Legends title match then shoot the breeze. Advert for "The Pope D'Angelo Dinero" that'd be Elijah Burke appearing the PPV on Sunday then.
Best Of 3 Series, AJ Styles (with Sting) vs Matt Morgan (with Kurt Angle) - Basically whoever wins this will get a shot at Sting & Angle on Sunday at the PPV. Styles started this early with a somersault flipdive over the top rope onto Morgan who hadn't even got in the ring yet, after a bit of fighting by the guardrails Styles rolled Morgan into the ring and this thing got started legally. Styles worked Morgans leg and hit the figure 4 leg lock early which Morgan broke after reaching the ropes. Morgan was on top for a while with Styles selling hurt like crazy, Styles jobbed big time but made a comeback before Morgan took the win off The Carbon Footprint which means Matt Morgan will meet Sting & Kurt Angle for the Heavyweight title match at the PPV. Morgan tells Angle he won't help him retain his title.
