My Weekly TNA Catch-up, Impact 8th Oct 09 reviewed

Show opens with Abyss challenging Mick Foley to a Monsters Ball match at the Bound For Glory PPV, Foley accepts but bans the use of thumbtacks & appoints Dr. Stevie as special guest referee.
Legends Championship Match, Hernandez vs Kevin Nash - We didn't get a proper introduction only finding out this was a title bout when Nash came to the ring. This match was going nowhere when Eric Young ran in & took out the legs of Hernandez causing the ref to call for the bell calling the result as a no contest. A typically s**t Russo inspired finish.
X Division Championship Match, Amazing Red vs Samoa Joe - The 2nd match with no proper introductions, only Joe was introduced as Red was already in the ring. I did wonder how long this match would go before Bobby Lashley came down & it was less than 2 minutes, that allowed Red to hit a Missile Dropkick then a nice Roundhouse Kick to the head of Joe. Joe told the ref he wanted Lashley in the ring which Earl Hebner allowed (are they really going to screw Amazing Red not only out of his title shot but out of a possible win too?) & the 2 of them exchanged blows until Lashley hit a nice Full Nelson Slam then bailed allowing Red to nail a wicked Reverse Corkscrew Moonsault then a Standing Moonsault to take the win & Amazing Red is the new X Division Champion.
Tag Match, D'Angelo Dinero & Homicide vs Daniels & Suicide - And our 3rd match with no proper intro as Dinero & Homicide were already in the ring, what the f**king hell are TNA playing at tonight? The 1st half of this match was Suicide jobbing & generally being owned by the heel team until Daniels came in, Homicide went crazy and attacked one of the Spanish announce team as Daniels hit a Single Arm Chokeslam on Dinero in the ring. Homicide grabbed his foot stopping the BME which allowed Dinero to hit the DDE to take the win for their team.
Mike Tenay annouces that Team 3D, The MEM, Beer Money & The British Invasion will have a 4 way ladder match for the TNA Tag titles & the IWGP Heavyweight Tag titles at Bound For Glory. The contract signing ends in a brawl. Don't they always?
TNA Knockout Tag Team Elimination Match, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Alissa Flash & Traci vs Sarita, Taylor Wilde, Christy Hemme & Hamada - Rules were explained as if you get pinned or submit your eliminated, this was fairly fast paced with Traci totally flubbing a Jawbreaker on Hemme who sold it & really shouldn't have as it looked stupid and led to Hemme being elimnated when Traci pinned her from it.
Hamada & Flash went at it & took it outside the ring to the front of the colour desk to the floor (where Taz was happy to see & call a cat fight) as the ref put the count on them Sarita & Velvet Sky were working in the ring as the ref stated both Flash & Hamada had been counted out & eliminated. Sky kicked out of a lovely Bridging Suplex from Wilde only to nail her with DDT to eliminate Wilde leaving Sarita outnumbered 3 to 1.
Sarita quickly eliminated Traci off either a Pumphandle Slam or a Belly To Belly Suplex (it was hard to tell which), she also eliminated Sky off a sloppy Small Package (either badly executed or Sky didn't sell it as it looked b***dy atrocious). In a crappy Russo inspired idea Alissa Flash came back out to distract the ref allowing Lacey Von Erich to nail Sarita with a Chokeslam after Sarita had hit Rayne with a great Double Underhook Powerbomb, Rayne made the pin to take the win for her team thanks to the interference of Von Erich.
Sting comes out to the ring to accept the challenge of AJ Styles @ the PPV. Samoa Joe calls out Bobby Lashley & hits a great Elbow Drop putting Lashley through the Spanish announce table.
TNA Knockout Championship, Tara vs ODB - Not a bad opening but Tara flubbed her Crossbody Block attempt or ODB caught it badly as ODB struggled to execute the follow up Fallaway Slam correctly too. This actually had been shaping up to be a half decent match when Awesome Kong came out carrying a sledgehammer (almost certainly an idea by Russo) making SoCal Val take Poison the spider off the apron so Kong could squash it with the hammer (I can hear the calls going into the American Humane Society already), Tara used the ropes to kick Kong away. ODB took advantage nailing a Necktie off her shoulders to take the win & retain her title.
Russo READ THIS - We DO NOT need your bulls**t intereference ideas to improve a match, so far EVERY run-in tonight has been F**KING S**T. Be told you retarded c**t!
Tag Match, Mick Foley (with Dr. Stevie & Daffney) & Kurt Angle vs Abyss & Matt Morgan - Actually this is the 2nd time Morgan & Abyss have teamed as Morgan turned heel after abandoning Abyss during a match the last time they were together. Abyss & Angle started off with Abyss Goozling Angle who made a great Roll-up into the Ankle Lock with Foley using the Barbed Wire Baseball Bat from the apron, eventually things broke down and Morgan took the win after hitting Foley with The Carbon Footprint.
During the course of tonights show they were advertising that they were showing Global Impact 2 afterwards (which I will review when I have watched it) & that next weeks show will be called Super Impact as it will be 3 hours long.
