Mick Foley & Abyss come out to talk & are interupted by Raven, Dr. Stevie & Daffney. BLAH.
Scott Steiner vs Amazing Red - Why the hell are they booking matches like this? It doesn't help Red & it certainly doesn't help Steiner either. Beyond awful match that ended when Steiner beaned Red with his lead pipe so Amazing Red took the win off a DQ for the use of a foreign object. Bobby Lashley made the save. You know it comes to something when the X Division Championship is considered so lowly as a throwaway in a c***py feud that isn't over with the fans & 1 wrestler involved is on his way out of TNA anyway. Amazing Red is a brilliant worker and doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
8 Man Tag Match, The Motor City Machine Guns vs Beer Money vs Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir vs The British Invasion - With all of World Elite involved in this match you had a feeling it was always going to go their way or break down into complete chaos, exactly as predicted this broke down & Alex Shelley took the win off Brutus Magnus from a Crossbody Block. Very poor low quality match, get this feud over & done with soon please? Its F**KING S**T!
Hamada vs Taylor Wilde - A very decent match, Wilde nailing a nice early Headscissors only to be caught by a wicked DDT from Hamada. Hamada seemed unwilling to sell Wildes Armdrag off the ropes but hit quite a nice Thrust Kick that Wilde sold very well, Hamada overcooked her Reverse Moonsault (hitting a lot of canvas & bearly any of Taylor Wilde) & yet again Hamada seemed unwilling to sell Wildes Victory Roll Hurricanrana. Wilde sold Hamadas kick to the head as well as the Spin Kick but Hamada took the win off The Hamada Driver.
Wilde was giving Hamada a lot of signals to execute moves or indicate ring positioning so I'm not sure if a lot of Hamada's no-sells were down to misunderstanding or communication issues. I don't think shes done any interviews yet so I have no idea if she actually speaks any English but you feel she must speak some Spanish if she did all that time in CMLL.
Tag Team Grudge Match, Raven & Dr Stevie vs Abyss & Mick Foley - Shortly before this match we'd seen Abyss blocking Foleys office door with a table so it was no surprise when Foley didn't show at his entrance music, Abyss jumped Raven & Stevie as they stood at the bottom of the ramp waiting for Foley. Abyss & Raven took a hard bump on the floor into the guard rail when Raven hit the Russian Legsweep then this thing finally got going legally. Initially this was Abyss selling the beatdown until he got his 2nd wind hitting Stevie with Shock Treatment, Raven nailed him from behind & was about to use fire when Abyss hit the lighter from his hands so Ref Slick Johnson called for the bell & Abyss took the win off a DQ.
Abyss either didn't trust Raven or refused to sell the Evenflow DDT on the ringside mats & as they choked out Abyss with a cable I am not sure why they left the beatdown to go to "Trash Talk with ODB" with Homicide as her guest. On a point of wrestling history this is a gimmick they did with The Sandman back in the early days of ECW & it really upset Kurt Angle who was visiting them as potential talent at the time.
Alissa Flash vs Sarita - Again yet another match where Flash seems to only have half a costume as she kept her leather jacket on here, are TNA really THAT strapped for cash they can't afford a few yellow lycra crop tops for Flash? This wasn't anywhere near the quality of the previous 2 women as Sarita seemed to be really off her game or unsure how to work Flash but Sarita took the eventual win off a Reverse Thrust Kick.
6 Man Tag Team Street Fight, Team 3D & Rhino vs D'Angelo Dinero, Matt Morgan & Hernadez - This week 3D & Rhino came out of the heel tunnel but Dinero actually came out of the face tunnel with his team mates so it seems he's turned face? Very poor quality hardcore weapons match where Hernandez pretty much had the thing won off a Spear on Rhino when the ref was dragged out & Jesse Neal came out with a mohican, goatee & tattoos (looking like a cross between Giant Bernand & Tomko) then nailed Hernandez with a chair before throwing Rhino over Hernandez allowing Rhino to get the win off interference.
Tag Match, Daniels & Desmond Wolfe vs Kurt Angle & AJ Styles - I'm not sure why they bothered to announce the 20 minute time limit (unless Russo is THAT insecure about his future at TNA) as there was only 7 minutes left in airtime when the bell rang, quite frankly this match was going nowhere until Styles came in to work Wolfe hitting a Pele out of the blue, Wolfe distracted Angle away into the back of the arena but Daniels tagged himsel in and took the win off the BME on Styles.
Now Hulk Hogan has fulfilled his committments in Australia I hope he gets his fat overtanned arse to the Impact Zone to start filming stuff sooner rather than later as the longer they delay his arrival the more likely fans will leave from being jaded off the overly long build-up. Did TNA not learn their lesson with Triton? Clearly it appears not.
