Its the 200th Impact! Big fricking deal! The MEM come out and yack on the mic, Bobby Lashley comes out to spoil their party. Mick Foley joins the yackfest.
Hernandez vs Samoa Joe - Hernandez has new music and a new ring outfit, a pretty average match. Hernandez took the win off a Frogsplash.
Best Of 3 Series, Matt Morgan vs AJ Styles - Whoever wins this gets a Heavyweight title shot against Sting & another as yet unknown opponant at the Hard Justice PPV. I'm not exactly sure who backstage in TNA Creative thought 1 match let alone 3 between these 2 guys would draw ratings. Morgan currently has less heat than Pluto and you could tell no-one in the crowd wanted to see this match despite the talent of Styles. Styles sold and jobbed for all he was worth here (I bet Morgan never said thank you either) but Styles got a 2nd wind, hit a nice Pele and took the win off a 450 Spinning Splash so its 1 nil to Styles.
Sit down interview with Tara.
6 Woman Knockout Tag Match, ODB (with Cody Deaner), Awesome Kong (with Raisha Saeed so that gimmick isn't dead yet?) & Tara vs The Beautiful People - This was a decent match until Tara tagged Kong in who went apeshit (no pun intended) & started whaling on Tara despite them being tag team mates. Kong beat Tara out of the ring, into a ring post and started beating her out of the Impact Zone leaving ODB to deal with The Beautiful People all on her own. Don West fucked up by misidentifying Velvet Sky calling her "Angelina" (don't think I was going to let that MASSIVE flub past West!), Love was briefly on top until getting into a shouting match with Cody Deaner who kissed her on the apron which allowed ODB to take the win off a Schoolboy roll-up.
Eric Young, The British Invasion, Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir (now collectively calling themselves "The World Elite") talk about his heel turn. Team 3D come out and respond.
IWGP Heavyweight Tag Title Tables Match, Team 3D vs The British Invasion - Sadly I already knew the result of this about a week ago due to some idiot from RSPW pretending to be me who posted the result. Devon took the actual win by powerbombing Brutus Magnus through the table but Earl Hebner had been taken out earlier in the match after a bump from Brother Ray. Eric Young hit Devon with the title belts, moved Magnus and "revived" Hebner who awarded the win and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles to The British Invasion.
Video package of TNA at this years Comic Con. The MEM take out Mick Foley & Bobby Lashley in Foleys office. Beer Money jump Scott Steiner & Booker T outside the MEM locker room.
Tag Match, Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash vs Bobby Lashley & Mick Foley - The stipulation is simple, if Angle is pinned he loses the Heavyweight title and if Nash is pinned he loses the Legends title. Once again due to various billboarding twats in RSPW I already knew the result of this match more than a week before it aired on tv. Angle certainly wasn't expecting anyone to come out of the entrance tunnel as Lashley & Foley were announced and neither showed until Angle got the ref to raise their hands and Foley came out alone having to meet Angle & Nash beating them down on the entrance ramp.
Foley took Angles head on a turnbuckle tour of the ring with Nash having to interfere to give Angle breathing space to recover. Nash was tagged in and took his time beating on Foley, Angle was tagged back in but Foley was too strong for the Angle slam so Foley hit the double arm DDT. Foley hit the Socko Claw (and the colour desk are still miscalling that move unless WWE trademarked Socko?) which Nash stopped with a big boot, Angle went for the Ankle Lock.
Foley was on the verge of tapping when the lights went out & Stings music hit, when the lights came back up Foley was out of the ring and Sting was high up in the bleachers with the crowd helpfully distracting Angle & Nash. The lights went out and came back on again and Bobby Lashley was in the ring with his head taped up, Angle was clotheslined out of the ring & Lashley hit a spear on Nash which allowed Foley to take the pin and Mick Foley is the new Legends Champion.
