Tag Match, Generation Me vs The Motor City Machine Guns - Generation Me were previously known as The Young Bucks, Nick & Matt Jackson but here they are going under the names of Max & Jeremy. Max has the dark hair so we can tell them apart, clearly some of the crowd knew who they were as they were putting out a "Young Bucks" chant. Frankly this was a fantastic match with far too many great spots to call & even Taz marked out for them saying "Who are these Young Bucks", Generation Me took the well deserved win after finishing off Shelley with 2 awesome Moonsaults and if this is the calibre of new talent everyone in the X Division is seriously going to have to raise their game.
Kurt Angle comes out to praise AJ Styles, after they talk Styles gets jumped by his mystery masked man who finally reveals himself to be Tomko which we knew weeks ago.
Non-title Knockout Tag Match, The Beautiful People (with Lacey Von Erich) vs Hamada & Awesome Kong - Angelina Love was in the crowd & Madison and Velvet greeted her but Lacey looked really annoyed through a forced smile. This wasn't much of a match & Kong took the win off a Sit Out Awesome Bomb, Love hopping the guardrail wasn't entirely a surprise neither was her jumping Von Erich but her jumping Sky was quite unexpected so it looks like Love is back a week later than rumoured.
Various backstage stuff.
Tag Match, Lethal Consequences vs Team 3D - or rather not as Bobby Lashley came out & jumped Lethal Consequences during their entrance. I guess this was part of Lashleys attempt to ask for his release, its a c**p storyline & no-one cares about it. Team 3D did eventually come out, hit the 3D on Creed and took a rather pathetic & meaningless win. Brother Ray cuts a promo on The Nasty Boys & Hogan & The Nasty Boys jump Team 3D in their own locker room.
Sean Morley (probably better known as Val Venis to WWE fans) comes out to talk, Daniels interupts him then floors him.
Tag Match, Matt Morgan & Hernandez vs Beer Money - After the match Morgan & Super Mex had on last Mondays special I am amazed they are even employed as it was so terrible. This match was going nowhere so clearly Russo decided it was the perfect moment for a run-in & sent Big Rob out to waylay Hernandez. Morgan fought him back up the ramp and we heard the bell go in the background and Mike Tenay said the match was being thrown out as a double DQ.
Sean Waltman, Kevin Nash & Scott Hall came out & Waltman got a kicking but Nash soon levelled the field with his size. Black shirt security & the refs kind of broke it up then Eric Bischoff came out & booked Hall & Nash vs Beer Money at this weekends PPV.
Desmond Wolfe vs Samoa Joe - D'Angelo Dinero joined Taz & Tenay at the colour desk, this match was pretty dull. Joe was ok but Wolfe didn't do much and took the win off Towers Of London.
Backstage segment between Jeff Jarrett & Hulk Hogan finally making an appearance on the show after an hour, Bischoff shoots on Jarrett.
Heavyweight Championship Match, Tomko vs AJ Styles - Ric Flair joins Taz & Tenay at the colour desk, Kurt Angle came out to shake hands with Flair & watch the match which was really dull. Styles took the win off the Pele, Tomko jumped him post match but Angle made the save.
To be honest this weeks show wasn't very good apart from the X Division tag match, this weekends PPV will have to be awesome to keep the spark alive. I assume after the PPV they will tape 2 weeks worth of Impacts because TNA will be in England 2 weeks after the PPV. Although it'd be way cool if they decide to do Impact live from England on a Thusday because they will be in my hometown of Coventry ;-)
