TNA Impact TV Taping Spoiler Thread

[Jonny B]

This Thread is for every week that TNA has spoilers for Impact. So please place all spoilers here for each week instead of creating a new thread each time.

Thanks to Richard Trionfo of PWInsider.com for the following results:

Impact 9/28

*Lance Hoyt defeated Jeff Jarrett, DQ. Jarrett attacked Hoyt from behind and was whipping him on the way to the ring. They fought in the crowd. Jarrett hung Hoyt from the ring by the strap and the referee called for the bell. Jarrett then attacked the referee and grabbed the mic. He pointed out the fans that took part in the Fans' Revenge match and told them he held them all responsible for what happened. He said that he wanted his NWA title back or Samoa Joe would be left laying in a pool of his own blood.

*Samoa Joe (with the NWA title) defeated Raven, choking him after Brother Runt interfered, hitting a neckbreaker with a chain while the referee was checking on Joe. Joe then grabbed Raven and choked him out. Brother Runt got into Joe's face and slapped him. Joe and Runt began brawling. Raven got involved. Abyss hits the ring and attacks Joe. Raven went after Abyss, but Runt attacked him. Jim Cornette came out and followed Joe up the ramp. Joe walked off with the NWA title belt.

*Team 3D returned, defeating Vaughn Doring & another wrestler. They didn't announce who 3D's opponents were. After the match, Brother Ray took the mic and said they left to refocus on getting the NWA Tag Team championships. He said that TNA management asked them when they wanted their title match, but 3D wants to earn their title match. He said they are going to do it the old way, fighting their way to the top.

*Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal defeated TNA X-Division champion Senshi & The Paparazzi. The crowd was chanting, "No more Jackass" as the babyfaces came to the ring. Christian Cage was at the announcing table. During the match, Rhino came out but was held back by security. Rhino finally broke through and attacked Cage. There were more Jackass shenanigans. Sabin pinned Devine. The crowd chanted "No More Jackass" again after the match.

*Jim Cornette came out for some official announcements inside the ring. They had a podium set up with several chairs in the ring. Cornette said they had two legends in the building, Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell. No really, he said legends. Cornette said that they had been with Sting for his training for the Bound for Glory PPV match against Jeff Jarrett. He discussed the match and promised that would be the night Jarrett loses the belt. Cornette brought up the latest addition to the TNA roster, Kurt Angle. He said that at the BFG PPV, Angle would be a ringside enforcer during the NWA title match. Jeff Jarrett came to the ring and said that he wanted his championship belt back. Cornette relayed to Jarrett that Samoa Joe said if Jeff wants his belt back, he'll have to come get it from Joe. Jarrett asked if Cornette was really the boss or just another incompetent figurehead in TNA. Jarrett brawled with Luger and Bagwell. Samoa Joe hit the ring. Joe and Jarrett brawled but in the end Joe held onto the NWA title belt.

Impact 10/5

*Team 3D defeated Frankie Kazarian and Matt Bentley. Shane Douglas and the Naturals were at the announcing table. During the match, America's Most Wanted and Gail Kim came out watching from one entranceway while The James Gang watched from another. Brother Ray grabbed the mic after the match and said they were working their way up the ladder. He pointed out that they didn't have opponents for Bound for Glory, so they issued an open challenge and promised they would become the NWA Tag Team champions. As 3D left, Ray got into Douglas' face at the announcing table and they have words.

*Abyss and Jim Mitchell came to the ring for a promo. Mitchell told Samoa Joe that Jim Cornette made a deal with the devil to get the NWA title belt back. He warns Joe that he can come to the ring and deliver the belt or Abyss will come and get it. Joe comes to the ring with the belt, lays the belt down in the ring, then slaps Abyss. They brawl. Abyss chokeslams Joe on the belt. Jarrett comes out to retrieve the belt, but gets into a faceoff with Abyss. Abyss and Joe both punch Jarrett. In the end, Joe hits Jarrett and takes the belt back. Joe powerslams Abyss and leaves.

*LAX defeated Jeff Watson and Tyler Black with a double pin on both. After the match, Konnan says they are going to get the NWA Tag Team titles. He says they were sabotaged by being put in the Ultimate X match and announced it would be a Six Sides of Steel rematch at Bound for Glory.

*In a Loser Gets Fired from TNA match, Shark Boy pinned Eric Young. Larry Zbyszko came out and Young took his toupee. Zbyszko punched Young and Shark Boy rolled him up the pin. Young and the crowd were disappointed. The crowd chanted "Bring back Eric" as he left.

*Christian Cage & Jeff Jarrett defeated Ron Killings & Christopher Daniels. LAX attacked Daniels. While Cage was on the top, preparing for a frog splash, Jarrett pinned Daniels. Jarrett took the mic and said the game is over and he wants Joe to give him his belt back. Joe came out and they brawled. Joe was knocked out of the ring. Jarrett grabbed the belt and held it over his head. Christian grabbed Jarrett and hit the Unprettier. Cage held up the belt. Rhino hit the ring and gored Cage. Joe grabbed the belt and left. Cage and Rhino fought to the back.

Xplosion:

*A-1 pinned Lance Hoyt.

*Sonjay Dutt pinned Petey Williams.

Notes: Jeremy Borash announced that Kurt Angle would make his official TNA debut by appearing at the next taping...There was a Bound for Glory "press conference" filmed before they opened the doors for the fans....Dory Funk Jr. was in attendance...Vince Russo watched the taping from the crowd.

I pulled these off of Wrestlezone, figured I'd post them up. Thoughts and the like.

Good Show's I Rekon

 

[anglewillruletna]

Oh Man I can't wait for 3 weeks when Angle makes his debut

 

[Brilliance In Supremacy]

I mean, it'll be nice to see Angle again and all (it's been months), but it'll probably simply be him hyping himself up and bad mouthing the heels (probably even the faces). I personally think Angle should pop up now and then, pull off a German suplex or an overhead belly-to-belly on someone, and then disappear for a bit. His debut match should be a complete surprise

 

[PauLwaLL]

Matches to air October 19 (not all the interviews were shown):



Mike Tenay was in the ring to address the NWA World Heavyweight title belt situation. He held documents that stated TNA management demanded Samoa Joe surrender the belt at the end of the show or be removed from the TNA roster immediately.



Raven, Abyss and Brother Runt came from beside the announce table using chairs, trash can lids and anything else not nailed down as weapons. The fight went into the ring where Raven hit Abyss with the drop toe hold to the chair but Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam. But the shock of the night came as JAKE ROBERTS came to the ring!! Roberts had his trusty body bag which he opened in front of Abyss. Mitchell signaled for Doomsday but Abyss ran from the boa constrictor Roberts pulled out of the bag. Runt came into the ring and told Roberts to put the snake in the bag and get out of his ring. Roberts dropped the bag on Runt’s head and hit the DDT. Roberts grabbed the snake’s head and sent it down Runt’s pants. Roberts took the mic and addressed the fans. TNA asked Roberts to be the referee for the Monster’s Ball match at Bound For Glory. Roberts said something like he would be the guide into the labyrinth of his mind and show the competitors to their words mean nothing.



Mike Tenay and Don West addressed the home crowd when “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage came into the Impact Zone carrying two folding chairs. Norman Smiley came dressed circa WCW style.



(1) Christian Cage defeated Norman Smiley.

A chair shot to the helmet did nothing to Smiley who went for the Big Wiggle but got a kick to the package. Cage removed the helmet and hit Smiley with the Unprettier. Next he hit the one man chairscendo and pinned Smiley. Cage removed Smiley’s football padding and put him in a straight jacket as Shark Boy came to aid his fiend. Cage decked him with the helmet Smiley wore to the ring. As Cage went to put the jacket on Shark, Rhino came out sending Cage running for the rampway.



Jeremy Borash found Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal playing video games. They said they were in Senshi training. They were playing Mortal Kombat and wearing bald caps. Jerry Lynn told them they had a match. They were attacked by Senshi.



(2) World X Division champion Senshi defeated Jay Lethal.

From the good guy side of town, Senshi threw Lethal down the rampway and into the ring. Senshi tried to use his martial arts moves to knock Lethal senseless but Lethal fought back with a kick to the jaw. Lethal’s top rope move met canvas instead of Senshi who hit a Shining Wizard to the corner before winning with the Ki Crusher. Chris Sabin came out to aid Lethal but got hit with the double boots to the chest running and then from the top rope.



Mike and Don talked to the home fans again.



(3)NWA World Tag team champions “Phenomenal” AJ Styles and “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels and the James Gang (Kip and BG James) defeated America’s Most Wanted (“Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm and “Wildcat” Chris Harris w/Gail Kim) and Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez w/Konnan).

This was not pretty as all eight men brawled at the bell. Styles, Daniels and the LAX fought around ringside as the James Gang fought AMW. Finally LAX got in the ring where Hernandez worked over Daniels with a standing backbreaker. Daniels was locked in a Dragon Sleeper. Daniels escaped and tagged in Styles who cleaned the ring until Storm hit a superkick. Homicide and Harris got into an argument as Styles got to his feet. This led to Styles hitting Harris with an enziguri. Harris fell into Homicide and Styles rolled up Harris for the pin.



Afterwards AMW and LAX exchanged words as Kim smacked Konnan in the face. When it looked like K-Dog and Kim were going to fight, LAX jumped AMW with the sock puppet Konnan carries around. The worst move came as Hernandez hit Kim with the Border Crossing. It got surreal when Styles and Daniels came back to fend off LAX from doing further damage to Kim as AMW laid in the ring beaten down.



Mike Tenay returned to the ring to find out if Samoa Joe would surrender the NWA World title belt. Earl Hebner was in the ring holding the documents shown earlier. Out came Samoa Joe dressed in street clothes with the title belt in hand. Tenay asked Joe for his answer as he looked over the documents. Joe ripped the document up as KURT ANGLE came out to the Impact Zone. Joe put the belt down in front of Angle as the two men stared each other down. Angle headbutted Joe and hit the Angle Slam. Angle picked up the title belt but got hit from behind with an enziguri. Joe went to pick up Angle but Angle took Joe to the mat as TNA security stormed the ring to try and break them up. It looked like Joe’s forehead got busted open during the fracas. Just as it looked like it was calmed down, Joe ran back down and attacked Angle. Security dragged Joe out of the Impact Zone as the fans cheered for Angle. Angle took a sign from a fan that had Angle on it and said “TNA IS GOLD” before he asked for the house mic.



I am not sure if this was on TV. Angle was showered with a chant of his name. Angle said he had been watching TNA for a year. He said he asked for a release from WWE some he could work in front of the best audience in wrestling, the TNA fans. A week later McMahon claimed he fired Angle from WWE. Angle said Vince McMahon could kiss his Olympic Gold Medal Ass!! I have to say the ovation Angle received was louder then any ever in TNA. It was louder then the debuts of Sting, Team 3D and Christian Cage.

Seems like a good show.. I really think TNA is showing a ton of improvement.. I really hope they show Angle come out and confront Joe..

Discuss...

 

[Flippyskate21]

According to wrestlezone, aj styles is supposedly going to be winning the title on the tapings tonight. I would wait a little while before giving aj the title again, and lets see a good sabin title reign. Hopefully tna changes their mind about this but lets see what happens.

What does everyone think of tna putting the x division title on aj styles this quick?

**SPOILERS** TNA iMPACT! Results For The Next Two Weeks
10/24/2006 by Matthew Boone

Please credit Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com if used, thanks.

Welcome to the live spoilers for the post Bound For Glory taping of TNA Impact for Spike TV. They will air the next two weeks before the November 6th tapings. I am sure the new NWA World Heavyweight champion Sting will be in the venue as well as LAX, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. Anytime Detroit was mentioned the Orlando fans booed. David Penzer announced we would be seeing a tournament “fight for the right” face Sting at Genesis on November 19th. He also announced a barbwire cage match will be held on November 6th between “War Machine” Rhino and “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage. Jeremy Borash came out to tell the fans they were going to be filmed and recorded for the upcoming TNA videogame to be released by Midway Games. Not on the show: Elix Skipper, David Young, Shark Boy, A1, Gail Kim, Jim Cornette and Jeff Jarrett.

Matches and interview segments for hour one:

The evening was opened by the new NWA World Heavyweight champion Sting standing in the ring. But before he could talk he was joined by Christian Cage. Cage said Sting had been stealing his thunder for weeks so it was payback time. Cage was upset about the 18 person tournament he had to compete in to get a shot at the title he never lost. Next Cage mocked Sting’s updated outfit and said he was scared and terrified that he wasn’t the biggest star in wrestling. Cage told Sting to stop hiding behind the makeup. Sting replied Cage could have a shot at the title when Sting decided it would take place, then he decked Cage with the trusty baseball bat.

Jeremy Borash was backstage talking about the PPV and tonight Kurt Angle would talk to the fans. Samoa Joe came over to the interview area. He said he already knew Kurt but tonight they would get up close and personal.

(1) NWA World Tag Team champions Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez w/Konnan) defeated the Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas w/ “Franchise” Shane Douglas)

Before the LAX hit the ring they were decked by America’s Most Wanted. The beating went on for a while before AMW tossed LAX into the Naturals which was weird to see knowing their storied past. Stevens and Douglas jumped LAX but Douglas got dumped to the floor. The match was short and sweet as Homicide hit Stevens with the Cop Killer as Hernandez destroyed Douglas with the Border Toss. After the match Shane Douglas got in his teams faces but they bloodied his lip with smacks. On the canvas Douglas laughed at what occurred. They dapped fists after Shane Douglas got to his feet and it looked like their partnership wasn’t over.

David Penzer broke down the tournament, three stages worth. 18 wrestlers would start on the floor and try to climb in the ring, sort of a reverse battle royal. The first seven to get in over the top rope went on to stage two. Those seven would then compete in a battle royal. When five are tossed that is the placement in the tournament and the final two compete in a singles match for a bye in the bracketing to happen later.

(2) Abyss (w/Father James Mitchell) won the “Fight for the Right” match to receive a bye.

The 18 wrestlers around the ring were: Christian Cage, Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, Eric Young, Senshi, Frankie Kazarian, Raven, Lance Hoyt, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Brother Runt, Brother Devon, Kip James, Ron Killings, James Storm, Robert Roode and Abyss. Team 3D took themselves out as they fought with the Naturals to the locker room. Rhino came out and stopped Cage from getting in the ring.

The seven that got in the ring were: Robert Roode, Chris Sabin, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Abyss, Lance Hoyt and Ron Killings. The order of elimination from this stage was: Killings, Sabin, Daniels, Roode and Styles. In hour two we would see the following matches: Ron Killings vs. Lance Hoyt, Chris Sabin vs. AJ Styles and Robert Roode vs. Christopher Daniels. The winners will face each other on the November 6th tapings three way style to face Abyss.

Lance Hoyt and Abyss survived to face each other in the single match which was won when Abyss survived a top rope dropkick into a chair Hoyt placed in front of his face. Somehow Abyss blocked a move and hit the Black Hole Slam.

After the commercials we were joined by the “Olympic Hero” Kurt Angle. Angle said lots of people asked over the past weeks why he left the other place. Was he fired, was it a mutual release or did he quit. Angle said he quit because he wanted to wrestle for the best audience in wrestling. Angle said the other reason he came to TNA was the roster backstage, he wanted to beat all of them. He said being the best in TNA meant you were the best in the world. Angle said one person was the one who made him quit, Samoa Joe. Angle said he was ready for Joe despite the fear of facing him in the ring. Angle said TNA told him lots of stuff about Samoa Joe but they didn’t tell them Joe was a bleeder. Joe hit the ring and was immediately tackled by TNA security. When security couldn’t do the job the good guy locker room cleared into the ring.

Some TNAWrestling.com interviews were going to be shown to the crowd. On was Christy Hemme speaking to Chris Sabin who took Jerry Lynn to task when he was interrupted by AJ Styles. Styles didn’t like Sabin badmouthing his fellow X Division pioneer. Sabin and Styles fought but Sabin said he would defend the belt anytime.

Matches and interviews for hour two:

(1) “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles became World X Division champion when he defeated “the Future” Chris Sabin.

At the bell the war of words became physical. Styles took Sabin to the mat in a surfboard but Sabin countered into a backslide for two. Sabin locked in a chinlock but when Styles tried to get to his feet he got dragged back down. Styles got up second time and hit some kicks followed by the slingshot forearm. Sabin escaped the Styles Clash, hitting an enziguri followed by a tornado DDT for two. Sabin hit some forearms but Styles hit the Pele’ kick. Sabin countered the inverted DDT and dropkicked Styles to a corner and went for the Cradle Shock but Styles countered out into a small package pin.

Mike Tenay and Don West spoke to the home crowd. Jeremy Borash spoke to Lance Hoyt and Ron Killings about their upcoming match. Eric Young said he was looking for someone but the live crowd was to could to hear over.

(2) Ron “the Truth” Killings defeated Lance Hoyt.

This match was fast as hell. Killings was moving fast but ran right into Hoyt’s boot. Hoyt hit several power moves but couldn’t get the pin. Hoyt went for another move but Killings hit several moves that resulted in the Scissor Kick to Hoyt’s head.

After the match they were joined in the ring by the James Gang. BG James took the mic to talk about some guys who recruited them to care for their business back in the day. I think he was talking about HHH and Shawn Michaels. Next BG talked about the 3LK and said TNA dropped the ball on it. James said if they couldn’t find him work he would find it somewhere else. BG said six months together with the James Gang and no gold to show for it. He said they were done working for TNA. Kip took the mic said told TNA/Spike TV to, well he didn’t say it because his mic was cut off. Kip went to the table and took Don West’s headset but he was cut off the air again. So Kip yelled out “Suck It!”

(3) Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks) defeated “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels.

Roode backed Daniels to a corner and kicked him to the mat. Daniels got in a kick to the jaw but Roode decked him with a shot to the jaw. Roode took Daniels down with a neckvise. Daniels fought to his feet and hit an STO. Daniels got on the attack with several moves in and out of the ring. Brooks tried to cut off a top rope move by Daniels but somehow Daniels hit a bodyblock for two. Roode hit a full nelson slam for two. Roode went for a power move but got hit with a DVD. Daniels hit the BME but Brooks called over Hebner. Daniels confronted her and when Roode came over he got kicked. Daniels went for the Angle’s Wings but Brooks grabbed his leg. This allowed Roode to beat Daniels with the Last Rites. AJ Styles came out to tell Hebner about the interference but the decision stood.

So as a result of theses matches we will see on November 6th: Ron Killings vs. Robert Roode vs. AJ Styles. The winner faces Abyss.

(4) In four corner pole match, “War Machine” Rhino wrestled “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage.

Two poles had chairs and wire cutters. On the other two were a straight jacket and the cage door key. The match ended when the items were taken down and could be used on November 6th. Cage came out first but Rhino decked him from behind and the fight was on. Rhino took Cage in the ring ripped his pants off, trying to choke life out of body. Rhino went for the hairs but Cage cut him off. Rhino got in a backdrop and tried to rip Cage’s mouth apart with his hands. Cage kicked Rhino in the mouth but got hit with a clothesline. Cage went for the key but Rhino climbed up with him. Rhino tossed Cage to the floor and grabbed the key. Rhino brought Cage back into the ring only to press slam him to the floor. Rhino got the straight jacket down as the fans chanted “use it now.” Rhino was going to put it on Cage but the referees stopped him. Rhino pulled out a table and sent it in the ring with Cage. Rhino went for the GORE but Cage hit a dropkick. Rhino missed a shoulder tackle and Cage got down the wire cutters. As Cage got down the chairs, Matt Bentley (with dyed hair and face paint) came in and attacked Rhino for some unknown reason. Rhino got the straight jacket and locked up Cage. Frankie Kazarian and Bentley came in and jumped Rhino. Cage got away but Kazarian got picked up by Rhino and was driven into the table.

Matches to be seen on Global Impact and Xplosion:

(1) Sonjay Dutt defeated Petey Williams when he countered out of the Canadian Destroyer, dropkicked Williams and hit a standing shooting star press.

(2) The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas w/Shane Douglas) defeated Austin Starr and Alex Shelley when they hit Shelley with the top rope dropkick into the power bomb.

Announced and guessed matches for the Genesis PPV:

***NWA World Heavyweight champion Sting vs. “the Fight For Your Right” winner TBD

***NWA World Tag Team champions NWA World Tag Team champions Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez w/Konnan) vs. America’s Most Wanted (“Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm and “Wildcat” Chris Harris w/Gail Kim)

***Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle

All I have to say is wow.. TNA is doing some different things and seem to be getting great.. What does everyone think of the results?

 

[Xtreme Impact]

I thought Sabin was deserving of a longer run but oh well, I guess there splitting up AJ and Daniels then.

 

[Xtreme Impact]

Seems like 2 great shows, im really looking forward to seeing the James Gang promo though that should be interesting, what does everything think about it?

 

[marylena]

I like Aj ,but I think Sabin should have a longer title run. I don't want to see them break up Styles & Daniels either.

 

[PauLwaLL]

See that James Gang promo has me wondering if they actually mean what there saying.. I mean.. If TNA is just doing it for a cheap plug against the WWE there just stupid.. Why would a one wrestling brand talk about another wrestling brands faction? Like those producers/wirters are stupid if they think that will bring them in ratings.. It will just make everyone think TNA is ran by idiots..

If its cut out.. We know that its real.

 

[The Enforcer]

In order for The James Gang to go back to WWE they must have had a meeting with HHH and Vince and apologized about the comments that they made on an interview that I saw a while back. But I hope that they did and that they come back to the WWE which is where they belong.

"O You Didnt Know?!"

 

[jefferson411]

I would like to see them back in WWE simply for the nostalgia of a DX reunion, especially if they got X-Pac out of WSX for it. They could definately use these guys for DX when Michaels takes a break for surgery.

I think it is probably a work though. At least I tell myself that so I don't get too excited.

Well actually, don't you think if they really quit they would either a) do it privately or b) it would have broken on a site somewhere that they had quit by now?

 

[PauLwaLL]

They could definately use these guys for DX when Michaels takes a break for surgery.

I recently read somewhere about HBK's surgery has already been takin care of..

I think it is probably a work though. At least I tell myself that so I don't get too excited.

Well actually, don't you think if they really quit they would either a) do it privately or b) it would have broken on a site somewhere that they had quit by now?

Not really.. Some people like to do things like that publicy.. This how we will now.. If it doesnt show on the Impact taping we know its for real, and if it does we know its a work.. And if it is a work.. TNA is being ran by some stupid writers and producers pluggin DX like that.. They dont understand that the WWE isnt going to say something about them like they want them to.. WWE is ran by a Buisness Genius.. and TNA is ran by people who have good ideas for matches but kno nothing about the buis.

As for the rest of the spoilers... TNA looks amazing.. Im thinken if there going to show the Cage vs Rhyno match at the "Primetime" debut.. Another thing is why did Sabin already drop the title to AJ? What im thinken is that AJ is going to win the tournament and theres going to be a Champion vs Champion match at Genisis

 

[akileese]

I like Aj ,but I think Sabin should have a longer title run. I don't want to see them break up Styles & Daniels either.

Well, the tag division is well maintained right now in TNA and as great as LAX vs. Styles/Daniels is, what is it, 3 times ? SSOS, Ultimate X, and a regyular tag match. That's enough for me. We've seen with the way the tag belts flip flop that TNA has no problem giving people quick title reigns. Sabin vs. AJ will make most likely be the match at Genesis in a rematch. Maybe they'll go for another ultimate X and throw in a few other guys (although I hope not as it's a little too soon for another UX match).

Like I said, the only way I see this sticking is if it's a long term rivalry. I read that and I was like, "Wait, WHAT!? Didn't they just put the belt on him like, 24 hours ago!?!?!?" I don't see the tna management being that stupid.

 

[Thizz22]

you knoiw this could be a mistake.i havent really been watching tna for a while, so i dont no how they..."roll" but Its scheduled as Styles vs Sabin in the fight for your right tournmanment. so maybe the guy made a mistake. The title maybe wasnt on the line. Unless he saw styles leave with it. Or in tna is ther title always on the line? i dont think so because arret vs samoa joe wasnt a title match. But like unless sabin does something to piss someone off, whys it on the line

 

[PhenomenalStyles]

I seriously doubt it, AJ is one of my favourite wrestlers but Sabin just won the belt. I don't think they'd have him drop it so quick to someone who doesn't need to be elevated by a title at the moment. Sabin deserves a longer reign, this has to be a mistake.

 

[PauLwaLL]

Well, if you read the spoilers, you would see AJ did infact win back the X-Division Title.. I think this is just a way to bring back the Glory to the X-Division Title.. Latly it has been decent, but not as good as it used to be.. Imagine, Senshi vs AJ Styles, Jay Lethal vs Styles, Austin Starr vs Styles.. All potentiol 5 star matches.

These are the LIVE SPOILERS from the TNA Impact tapings. One hour show to air November 9th followed by the two hour prime time debut show to air November 16th. Mike Tenay and Don West’s location has been spruced up for the move to 9pm. Several Spike TV executives sat near Dixie Carter and were introduced to the fans, mentioning a online Q&A on Spike’s website before the 11/16 show airs. Jeremy Borash and Dave Penzer did a great job of keeping the crowd energized for the entire taping.

Before the doors were opened America’s Most Wanted (“Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm and “Wildcat” Chris Harris) were signing for the fans when Konnan came out to confront them. Storm broke his beer over Konnan’s head as LAX (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez) came from behind and attacked AMW. After the brawl Harris was carried inside the building but Storm not. Hernandez threw Storm Border Toss style into a concrete wall and it left Storm motionless on the ground. Storm’s neck was immobilized by Universal medics and he was placed on a back brace awaiting the medics to arrive. We were taken into the soundstage at 6:30pm. I was told he might have hit the “funny bone” on the wall. Eventually he got his range of motion back and was part of the prime time portion of the show.

Hour one to air November 9th:

(1) In the semi-finals of the Fight for the Right tournament, World X Division champion “Phenomenal” AJ Styles (“Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels) defeated Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks) and Ron Killings (w/Lance Hoyt).

Once Killings stopped dancing the match began when Roode shot his mouth off and he got decked. Styles and Killings got rid of him to the floor. Styles went to go out but Roode pulled Brooks in the way causing Styles to land on the apron. That didn’t stop Killings who came out and over. Styles went in the ring and then over. The match came back to the ring where Roode avoided Killings forearm which decked Styles. Roode tossed Killings to the floor and focused on Styles’ left leg with a half crab. Killings broke that up with a top rope dropkick as Jerry Lynn, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal and Chris Sabin looked on. Styles decked Roode with the Pele’ kick and went up top but Brooks cut him off. So Daniels and Hoyt dragged her off and dropped her into the crowd where she paint brushed a fan. While this went on Roode followed out to check on Brooks and missed Styles pin Killings with a slingshot cross bodyblock.

Shane Douglas came out and said he had a problem with Brother Ray of Team 3D. So out came Ray microphone in hand. Douglas said he put up with Ray’s crap and condescending attitude. Douglas called him out on the confrontation during the reverse battle royal. Ray said he was caught off guard at these comments. Ray said if anyone had a grudge it should be him, ten years back to a “stuttering problem” in Philly. Ray said Shane came out one night and smacked him for no reason. Ray said this wasn’t ten years ago and things have changed. Douglas said the Naturals weren’t resting on a legacy of a washed up company. Douglas decked Ray with a bike chain wrapped fist and The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas w/ “the Franchise” Shane Douglas) came out to defend Shane. They decked Ray and then threw him into a folding table. On screen we saw why Devon couldn’t come to his partner’s aid, he was under a guard rail which was over his neck. TNA security came out and helped Ray out of the ring.

(2) Petey Williams defeated “Hotshot” Johnny Devine and Austin Starr (w/Kevin Nash and Alex Shelley)

This was hard to keep up with so I am sorry if I missed some stuff. Starr avoided Williams and Devine’s lockup but didn’t avoid a knee to the face. Starr got on the offense briefly but Williams hit a facebreaker like move. Star went to knock Williams and Devine’s heads together but he got hit with a double backdrop and clothesline. Starr broke up the Canadian Destroyer but didn’t break up Devine’s moonsault onto Williams. Starr broke up the pin and kicked Devine in the face. Starr went up top but Shelley got up to talk or something. Starr’s crotch was met by Shelley’s head. This allowed Williams to hit Devine with the Canadian Destroyer.

As soon as the bell rang LAX hit the ring, telling Williams he was an immigrant too. Konnan invited him to a flag burning they would hold next week. Hernandez brought a half mannequin dressed like Uncle Sam. Konnan said the American flag stood for racism and he was going to defecate all over it before burning it.

(3) In the final match of the Fight for the Right tournament, Abyss (w/Father James Mitchell) defeated World X Division champion “Phenomenal” AJ Styles (w/“Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels).

In the history of TNA this is one of the most heated rivalries dating back to the Nashville/Tennessee PPV’s. Jerry Lynn and the trio mentioned before watched on again as Abyss showed off his strength advantage. Styles avoided a backdrop and hit a huricurana but couldn’t suplex Abyss so he hit a flying head scissor followed by a splash to the corner. But his corner move met Abyss’ boot. Abyss got a folding chair and wedged it in the second and top turnbuckle. Abyss decked Styles with a punch and set for a power bomb but Styles slid over the back. Abyss stopped the pin attempt by sling shotting Styles face first into the chair. Abyss followed with a corner splash of his own and went for Shock Treatment but Styles got out and went on the attack with punches and kicks. Abyss went for a corner splash but Styles went into Andrew Thomas and Abyss soon followed. Christian Cage came out and leveled both men with chair shots. Cage said the people were looking at the one true #1 contender to the NWA World championship. Thomas got to his feet and counted both men down. This brought out the other TNA referees to confer as spotlights flashed around the building. It looked like the match was going to be continued. Styles hit a top rope forearm but got two. Abyss grabbed him for a choke slam but Styles countered into a sunset flip for two. Abyss hit Shock Treatment as Mitchell came out with a bag of tacks but Daniels cut him off from handing the bag off. Andrew Thomas went out to break up Mitchell and Daniels. Styles hit another Pele’ and went for the Styles Clash when Chris Sabin ran in and decked Styles with a kick to the chest. This allowed Abyss to the hit the Black Hole Slam and become #1 contender. As Abyss’ hand was raised Sting looked on from the rafters of the soundstage.

In between shows Jeremy Borash and Christy Hemme passed out foam Sting bats and steel chairs to make the primetime event look super. This is possibly the crowning achievement in TNA I have witnessed going back to 2002’s taping in Huntsville, Alabama.

Hour two to air November 16th:

“Showtime” Eric Young and his entourage made their way in the venue as the pyro went off. It was followed by a shower of confetti that covered the entire building. Young said he wearing his suit lent to him by Uncle Leo. Young said he had an announcement for the fans but LAX interrupted him. Konnan was carrying an American flag on his shoulder as he ran down the immigration issues. He said he was going to deliver a message loud and clear to TNA and America. Before he got out the lighter AMW with Gail Kim, who fought with LAX and stopped the burning as security came out to join the incident. Guess Storm is ok and hell froze over as AMW got a huge ovation from the fans.

(1) Samoa Joe defeated Jay Lethal.

Joe jumped Lethal at the bell and the fight was on. Joe hit Lethal with his attack normal plan but he couldn’t avoid a slingshot dropkick. Nor the in ring dropkick to the face as the fans chanted for Kurt Angle. Joe didn’t like that so he hit Lethal with the standing STO before the Muscle Buster and the Kokina Clutch submission hold. After the match Sonjay Dutt decked Joe but he got hit with a powerslam and the Clutch. Chris Sabin ran out but left Dutt lying in the Kokina Clutch. Joe took the mic and said he wanted Joe’s blood.

(2) In a tag team tables The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas w/ “The Franchise” Shane Douglas) defeated Team 3D members Brother Ray and Devon.

The bell rang and the fight went right into the people where everything was used a weapons even signs the fans brought to the event. Ray tossed Andy Douglas in the ring and 3D hit the Wassup headbutt to the package. 3D went under the ring and got two tables. Shane saved Andy but he took a 3D into one of the tables. Stevens and Douglas got on the attack as TNA officials cleared Shane Douglas out of the ring. The Naturals won when they double teamed Devon into a table but kept beating on them after the bell rang several times. Finally after decking several security team members, the Naturals left to a chorus of boos. It took several minutes to get the ring clear of security and Team 3D who left on their own power.

“Showtime” Eric Young was talked into coming out to the soundstage again to make his announcement. But once the crowd stopped chanting “Don’t Fire Eric”, Young was interrupted by Johnny Devine, Frankie Kazarian and Matt Bentley in some rather interesting attire. Kazarian said their redeemer had shown them the way. Just when things got interesting they were interrupted by the newly named Voodoo Kin Mafia (Kip and BG James.) BG said they had creative control and permission to do what they wanted. BG said they were declaring war on Vince McMahon, Michael Hickenbottom and Paul Levesque. Kip said 8 years ago those two guys started a group but they weren’t allowed to be part of it, now its back and sinking like the Titanic. Kip called them the two biggest pieces of sh** but BG got the mic away before it got on the air. The crowd chanted you said sh**. BG said they were serious about the declaration of war on Vinny Mac calling the war VKM vs. VKM.

(3) In the Six Sides of Steel Barbwire match, “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage defeated “War Machine” Rhino.

The top of the cage was wrapped with barbwire. Cage’s wife sat ringside with Dixie Carter. Don Harris and his crew did an amazing job getting the cage up and down in fast time. There wasn’t a referee inside so I guess it’s over the top or through the door to win. After trading fists Rhino hit a backdrop and tried to send Cage into the fencing but it was blocked. Chest chops broke out and Cage countered out of a press slam into an inverted DDT. Cage’s chairs were slid into the ring but Rhino hit two shoulder tackles to the corner. Cage stopped a third one by trying to scale the fencing but cut his hand on the barbwire. Rhino rammed Cage’s face into the fencing several times and it made Cage bloody. Rhino got the key from his Tupperware box and taunted Cage with it. Rhino tossed the key out and sling shotted Cage into the fencing twice. Cage got in a crotch shot, with a cage toss and called for the bolt cutters which he hit Rhino with several times to the back. With Rhino down Cage climbed up and began to cut away at the barbs. Rhino started to come around as Cage continued to cut away. Cage came down and punched Rhino a few times before going back to cut more wire. Rhino went up to get Cage but got sent to the mat where Cage hit a frog splash. Cage began to climb up once more and got a leg over the fencing when Rhino caught up to him. Rhino forced Cage’s face into the cut away barbwire before hitting a top rope back suplex. Rhino got to his feet and grabbed the straight jacket but Cage punched away sending Rhino to the mat again. Cage went back up top to the area he cut away and again Rhino caught him. Both men fought but it was Cage who came off with a top rope Unprettier! Cage grabbed the straight jacket and tried to put it on Rhino as the “War Machine” fought back. Cage got the sleeves attached to the top rope and he called for his folding chairs to be tossed in the ring. Rhino got a leg into Cage’s package and somehow got his arms free of the top rope. He hit several moves and got the jacket off after a spinebuster. Rhino set Cage up for a chairscendo but Cage moved and hit Rhino in the ribs with the chair. Cage set the chairs up for a Unprettier but Rhino countered into a TKO which dropped Cage’s ribs on the top of the chair. Rhino went for the GORE but Cage tossed a chair into him, but it was caught and Rhino smashed Cage in the head. Rhino went for and hit the GORE!!! However he sent Cage through the door of the cage and Christian Cage was declared the winner.

(4) “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels became World X Division champion when he defeated “Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. “the Future” Chris Sabin.

Before the opening bell Styles and Daniels shook hands. Styles and Daniels were jumped by Sabin. Daniels hit Sabin with a neckbreaker like move and dropped Styles on top, or was it the other way. Daniels and Styles hit Sabin with the High/Lo move but he avoided a backdrop, hitting a double enziguri. Sabin ripped away at Styles’ face and locked in a surfboard which Daniels stopped, but Sabin raked his eyes. Styles went up and avoided Sabin, hitting Daniels with an inverted DDT and Sabin with a regular one. Styles hit Daniels with a sitout facebuster but Sabin broke up the pin. Sabin countered a corner whip and hit Daniels with an inverted DDT for two. Sabin went for a superplex but Styles brought them down with a power bomb. Christian Cage came out to ringside and said he was still undefeated and he was dropkicked by Styles to the floor. As Styles went after Cage, Daniels countered out of Sabin’s Cradle Shock and scored a pin. Styles realized what happened and came back to the ring where, after talking, raised Daniels hand.

(5) In his TNA match debut, Kurt Angle defeated Abyss (w/Father James Mitchell)

The noise was super loud for Angle’s entrance to the Impact Zone. After backing Angle to a corner Angle slapped Abyss across the face. Angle went to the ropes but ran into the wall known as Abyss. Angle got a single leg takedown and went after Abyss’ left knee joint. Abyss refused to submit and powered out of an Ankle Lock. Abyss punched Angle several times and hit a corner whip but the splash attempt met an elbow and Angle clipped out Abyss’ leg. Angle went back to the knee joint with another submission hold but Abyss raked Angle’s eyes. Abyss sent Angle chest first to a corner and hit Shock Treatment. Mitchell left and came back with a wheel barrel full of thumbtacks. Abyss sent Angle to the floor as the crowd booed. Mitchell whispered in Abyss’ ear. Angle slid off Abyss’ shoulder and smashed Abyss’ head on the ringposts. Abyss raked the eyes again and sent Angle back into the ring where hit a standing suplex for two. Abyss clamped on a neckvise but Angle got to his feet so Abyss switched to a chinlock. Angle escaped with a back suplex and both men tried to beat Rudy Charles’ count. Angle got off his Olympic German suplex trio but his Olympic Slam became a Black Hole Slam for two and a half. Abyss went for the choke slam but Angle countered into an Ankle Lock. Abyss fought for the ropes but Angle pulled him back to the middle of the ring. Abyss had the bottom rope for a second but Angle dragged again and sat down in the Ankle Lock to get the submission victory.

Once the match ended Samoa Joe hit the ring. Angle hit a Belly to Belly suplex. Joe hit an enziguri and went for the Kokina Clutch only to have Angle get the Ankle Lock. Joe escaped, got a chair and leveled Angle. Joe tossed angle back in the ring where Abyss was standing. Joe gestured and Abyss joined in stomping on Angle. The arena got dark and Sting descended from the rafters. Abyss went to confront him but Sting jumped off the platform he came down on and sent Abyss crashing into the tacks below. As Sting and Abyss fought away from ringside, Joe got to his feet and put Angle in the Ankle Lock. After a moment or three, Joe released the hold and locked in the Kokina Clutch on the bloodied Olympic champion. When Joe released the hold he took Angle’s blood and smeared it on his chest."

This was just awesome. I cannot wait for the two hour special. I especially can't wait for the Voodoo Kin Mafia segment. I looooooooove what Russo is doing. Everyone wanted NWO v. DX in the WWE, but we now have something we never would have imagined was going to happen, DX v. DX!!!! This time, it's for real. A real war! Instead of a fixed feud in one federation, it's now a real feud in two seperate federations!!!!! I love it. I absolutely love it.

Also, I can't wait to see Angle v. Abyss. I didn't read what happened in any of the matches, I just read the winners that way if anything shocking in the matches happens, I'll be surprised. This is just awesome. I can't wait for everything that happens in week 2. And Russo putting the X title on Sabin, then having Styles win it within the next two impacts, then having Daniels win it the next two impacts? Crazy! Completely unexpected!

Good shows, but TNA is digging themselves into deep right now.. I mean, who are Kip James and Billy Gunn to think they come even close to HBK and Triple H? There nowhere near the wrestlers those two are.. And they expect the WWE is going to give them exposure by talking about them on Raw... Well its not gonna happen.. The WWE isnt stupid like TNA... TNA is talking all about WWE and for what reason? For there fans to just decide , oh this is stupid, Im gonna watch WWE? There digging themselves to deep.

 

[Skullz Crack'Em]

They are idiots and so is TNA for making this challenge to Vince, HBK, and HHH b/c TNA isn't big enough yet to even stand up to WWE and it was thanks to the WWE that those two became a popular team. If Vince wanted to he could crush TNA but he hasn't so far because he is letting it grow big enough to see how big of threat it really is to WWE. I would like to see Shawn and Hunter come in during an Impact taping and accept their challenge, BG and Kip would sh*t themselves and probably even run away from them(all talk but no walk). I sometimes think that the former WWE stars in TNA are getting paid extra by bashing WWE like Angle he loved the WWE and had a good relationship with Vince when he left but when he goes to TNA it is a different story. I dont know what to believe anymore when it comes to TNA and WWE

 

[iamwrestling]

Well, if Shawn Michaels and HHH did indeed come to TNA, that would be foolish for WWE. Why would they have people like HBK and HHH on impact? That would just equal a HUGE rating boost for TNA and when I say huge, I literally mean huge. And I think that if those four fought in wrestling, it would be no doubt a lopsided victory for the two legends HHH and HBK, but in a real life fight it would be pretty close. I'd like to see them settle things in the first ever tag team UFC fight!

These are the LIVE SPOILERS for the next three weeks of TNA IMPACT on Spike TV. By the end of these shows we should have a good idea of the matches for the Turning Point PPV to be held December 9th. Plus we see what happens to the NWA World Tag Team championships recently held by Latin American Xchange after Jim Cornette stripped them of the belts last night on PPV, what the VKM have planned next for VKM and pals and if Kurt Angle will accept Samoa Joe’s rematch request. The sign of the night was a fan in the disabled section that read “I Work Harder Then Vince McMahon” on one side and “I Want More Then Vince McMahon” on the other. Like the last taping David Penzer and Jeremy Borash did an excellent job keeping the fans pumped up for the duration of the show.

Hour one taping results:

The new NWA World Heavyweight champion Abyss (w/Father James Mitchell) made their way to the ring. Mitchell said he was a proud parent after last night’s PPV. He said he tried to tell Sting to “laugh with the sinners then cry with the saints.” Mitchell said deep down inside Sting was no different then them after what he did last night. He said Sting was still wallowing in the riches that come with the belt and he walked down the highway to hell and Sting should come home for good. That brought Sting into the Impact Zone. At least he looked like the former champion, wearing a mask. Abyss and Mitchell sought higher ground as the fans sat in confusion when Christian Cage was the revealed masked man. Cage said this is what he had to resort to get his deserved title shot, dress like a complete moron. Cage said he wasn’t waiting for Sting to invoke the rematch clause. Hypothetically he asked if Sting didn’t make it to turning Point what would happen to the rematch. This brought the real Sting from the rafters. Sting said he was going to get his rematch with Abyss tonight by mowing down Cage tonight. Cage said he could care about Sting’s mood he only cared about himself and his title shot he deserved.

As the opening match was brought to the ring Eric Young walked around dressed in turkey costume.

(1) “Phenomenal” AJ Styles and World X Division champion “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels defeated The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas w/ “The Franchise” Shane Douglas.)

This was interesting because before the shows David Penzer said this was the LAST time Styles/Daniels would be teaming. Like last night the Naturals jumped their opponents before the bell and briefly double teamed Daniels before Earl Hebner got the teams to their corners. That didn’t work because Daniels slid into the ring and Stevens dropkicked Styles to the floor. The Naturals isolated Daniels and kept sending Styles back to the floor. But Styles got some revenge by hitting them with a top rope clothesline. They hit Douglas with their High/Lo move before sending Stevens to the floor. The match ended with Styles hitting Douglas with the Frog Splash and Daniels hitting the BME. Rhino came out to the ring as Senshi, Alex Shelley and the Austin Starr stood together on the ramp as Jerry Lynn stood with Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal. It looked like Rhino was trying to talk with Styles who wanted nothing from the “War Machine” and stormed off alone.

Eric Young came over to the announce table and said something to Mike Tenay and Don West before they sent it to the backstage area.

When the commercials ended the public face of TNA Mr. Jim Cornette made his way into the ring to get the NWA World Tag Team title belts from LAX. But before that Cornette asked Petey Williams to come to the ring. Williams said even though he had issues with the fans in the past but he had an opportunity to stop the destruction of the American flag. Cornette had a rigging lowered so they could hang the American flag but LAX hit the ring with the title belts still in their possession. Konnan had a lawyer with him who served some papers to Cornette saying TNA violated their 1st amendment rights. Williams served Konnan a right hand to the jaw. After LAX beat down Williams they went for Cornette but America’s Most Wanted (“Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm and “Wildcat” Chris Harris w/Gail Kim) and then Kurt Angle came out to clear the ring. As LAX/AMW, Cornette and Williams left Samoa Joe came to the ring. Joe was reminded he tapped out by the fans. Joe said he did tap out but the fans forget he was undefeated for 18 months. Joe said inevitably someone would have their hand raised against him. He said he lost to a man who has been a champion in wrestling around the world. But it was one night and he wanted a rematch. Joe handed the mic to Angle and we all waited. Angle told the fans and Joe he was the true submission machine and he made him fight for his life. Angle said the rematch happens only if nothing happens to each of them before Turning Point. So Angle and Joe have to be each other’s bodyguards.

Eric Young came back out to be with the fans still in the turkey outfit. His fun was interrupted by Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks. The fans chanted please don’t talk as Roode called Young an idiot and an embarrassment to wrestling. Roode demanded a rematch with Young and it looked like Young accepted.

(2) “Showtime” Eric Young defeated Robert Roode (w/Ms. Brooks).

Roode didn’t let Young get to the ring before he attacked. Young didn’t discard the turkey outfit as Roode went on the warpath. Roode dropped Young in the top rope but Young fought back and missed a moonsault. Roode said he was going to break Young’s neck with a piledriver but Young scored a double leg pin. Roode took the mic and lambasted Brooks for his losses in the ring and the fans not loving him. Before leaving Roode said he felt Young could beat Brooks in a bikini contest.

For the main event Jim Cornette joined Tenay and West for commentary.

(3) In a number one contender match, Sting and “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage fought to a no contest.

The fans received a PPV match on national TV. Sting came from behind and jumped Cage tossing him into the fans. They fought up into and down by the Pit area of the crowd. After slamming Cage into a wall Sting sent Cage back into the ring where the beating continued. Sting tossed Cage back to the floor this time by the announce table where Cage was suplexed. Cage finally got on the offense with a missile dropkick for two. Cage laid in the right hands to Sting’s face as the fans chanted Christian Sucks. But as Cage mocked the fans he allowed Sting to get fired up. Sting hit a clothesline, backdrop but his press slam to the floor was stopped by referee Andrew Thomas. Thomas got in the action when Sting hit him with the Stinger Splash when Cage pulled him in front to save his butt. Not to be stopped Sting locked in the Scorpion Death Lock but it was broken up by TYSON TOMKO!!! Tomko hit Sting with a Torture Rack into a neckbreaker as Cage’s music played.

As Borash got in the ring to hand out DVD’s we got to see part of the video from VKM’s trip to Stamford, CT. BG and Kip James verbally ran down their enemies in the WWE. However Kip’s in-car GPS took them to a Target store not the target which was WWE HQ. Finally they found WWE HQ and said they were back. Borash said due to legal reason new could only see that segment. I think we shall be seeing it on prime time TV.

Hour two taping results:

“Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels joined Tenay and West for commentary during the following match. The trio was interrupted by “Wildcat” Chris Harris but we have no idea what he said.

(1) In a number one contenders match, “The Future” Chris Sabin defeated Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt.

Dutt and Lethal took several turns beating up Sabin before focusing on each other. Sabin went for a slingshot move but Lethal got him with an STO into a backbreaker for two. Lethal avoided a Dutt slingshot move and hit a full nelson suplex for a pin but Sabin tossed Lethal to the floor and pinned Dutt to become the winner. Sabin and Daniels had heated words as Jerry Lynn tried to get cooler heads to prevail.

“Captain Charisma” Christian Cage and Tomko made their way into the Impact Zone. Cage decided to make a formal introduction of the man who made a good impression on Sting, Tomko. Cage said TNA was putting him into a triple threat match at Turning Point to regain his title. Cage said it would become a single threat match as he was going to take out his opponent’s tonight. Cage said he wanted to talk to Abyss and the champion came out with Father James Mitchell. But when it looked like Abyss and Mitchell were going to talk with Cage, a Sting mannequin descended from the roof. As Cage and Tomko looked at the mannequin, Sting came from behind. Sting sung the bat and missed Tomko as Cage bailed out. Sting said he wanted to talk to Abyss, alone. Guess it would be later on as Mitchell and Abyss left together.

(2) Ron “the Truth” Killings and Lance Hoyt defeated the Austin Starr and Alex Shelley.

All four men fought in the ring at the bell but it was Hoyt and Killings who took over when Hoyt kicked Starr .in the face. Killings hit a tope to the floor onto his opponents and sent Starr into Hoyt. But Hoyt missed a boot to the corner. Starr went up but Shelley tagged himself in. Starr and Killings fought on the floor as Shelley countered out of Hoyt’s attempted TKO into a pin but Shelley used the tights. Andrew Thomas counted the pin but reversed the decision when he found out what happened out of his eye line.

A new interviewer named Leticia tried to interview Petey Williams when LAX jumped his ass. Konnan said Angle would be competing by himself tonight.

(3) NWA World Tag Team champions Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez w/Konnan) fought Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe to a no contest.

Homicide paid tribute to the West Coast hip hop legends NWA by wearing one of their shirts. Angle backed Hernandez to a corner and pie faced him. Angle got sent to the mat on a shoulder tackle but he sent Hernandez there with a belly to belly suplex. Homicide got hit with a Tilt-A-While slam but the numbers game began to get to Angle. That ended when Samoa Joe came out and got in a corner for a tag. LAX kept beating on Angle until angle got out of a chinlock with a back suplex. Angle tagged out to Joe and the fight was on. It looked like Joe and Angle won via tap out but Cornette and the LAX lawyer came down to the announce table. Cornette ruled the match a no contest because Joe was not signed as Angle’s partner so LAX retains via no contest.

JB got in the ring and asked the fans to pick an entry way for a special guest. They chose the doorway that had Christy Hemme with some DVD’s for the fans to enjoy.

Sting made his way back to the ring carrying his bat and a folding chair. Sting called for Abyss to come out to the ring and he was granted the NWA World Heavyweight champion’s time. Abyss refused the chair offered to him by Sting. Sting said he had seen Abyss fight through ladders, tacks, barbwire and other items to win the belt. Sting said Abyss’ past didn’t matter only the present. He wanted to know why Abyss allowed James Mitchell to drag him around. Sting even called Abyss by his real first name, Chris. Mitchell appeared on the screen and said if Sting felt Abyss was evil he needed to look at himself. Sting said Abyss can make his own choice and left the ring. Just as Sting left Tomko and Christian Cage came in and leveled Abyss. Tomko hit the Torture Rack/neckbreaker move on Abyss. They split when Sting came back out. Sting offered his hand to Abyss but Mitchell came back out to the ring. Mitchell smacked Sting on the face and left with Abyss.

Hour three taping results:

“The War Machine” Rhino came out to talk to the fans. Rhino said if AJ Styles wanted to make threats it wasn’t good because it pissed him off last week. Rhino said if Styles wanted a problem he should come out to the ring. Instead of Styles we had Christopher Daniels came out to talk to Rhino. Daniels said he appreciated Rhino’s concern and he should stay out of things. But as Rhino looked one way AJ Styles attacked and the duo had to be pulled apart by TNA security.

JB was talking to the fans when “Showtime” Eric Young came out wearing workout gear. It looked like Young was doing some cardio running.

(1) Petey Williams defeated NWA World Tag Team champion “Notorious 187” Homicide (w/Konnan and Hotstuff Hernandez).

This began with some chain wrestling but got hard hitting when Homicide hit an Acecrusher. Williams countered out of a Tilt-A-Whirl into a Canadian legsweep. Williams went for the Canadian Destroyer but Homicide countered into the Cop Killer only to be countered into a sunset flip like pin. This didn’t sit well with LAX as Hernandez hit the ring and Border Tossed Williams. America’s Most Wanted hit the ring and took out LAX, leaving with their Mexican flag their possession.

(2) Senshi defeated “Showtime” Eric Young.

Young looked like he needed a nap after his cardio workout, too bad he was going to get one from Senshi. Senshi got tired of waiting for Young to stop running around the ring so he decked him on the floor. Senshi kept on the attack with some martial arts moves which stunned Young who tried to fight back with punches. The punches seemed to briefly stun Senshi as Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks came out to ringside. Brooks got on the ring apron and distracted Young with her sexy body. It allowed Senshi to hit the Warrior’s Way top rope move to win.

Mr. Jim Cornette came to the ring for a special announcement regarding the LAX/AMW confrontations. Cornette said a flag match would take place at Turning Point. He was interrupted by “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage and Tomko. Cage said he noticed Cornette was too busy stopping 1st amendment rights when he should be doing a background check on Abyss. Cage was interrupted by the NWA World champion who hit the ring and both men. They were able to turn the tables on Abyss when Sting came out sending Cage/Tomko running locker room. Just when Sting thought he got Abyss to join his side he got hit with a Black Hole Slam.

(3) In a TNA No Mercy All-Star War, Kurt Angle defeated “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage (w/Tomko), NWA World Heavyweight champion Abyss (w/Father James Mitchell), “War Machine” Rhino, Samoa Joe and Sting

Before the action began Styles attacked Rhino and they fought to the locker room. The match began with Angle and Cage squaring off and Angle hiptossed him before delivering forearm shots. Angle wrapped up Cage in a waistlock but Cage got to his feet only to be hit with a belly to belly suplex. Cage was taken again to the mat with a chinlock before switching to a body scissor. Tomko went to interfere but Joe sent him back to the floor. Cage got to his feet again and raked Angle eyes tagging in Abyss. Abyss hit Angle with Shock Treatment but Joe stopped the pin hitting a powerslam. Sting got involved and clotheslined Abyss to the floor. Cage’s Unprettier on Joe was blocked and Joe went for the Muscle Buster. Tomko came in and decked Joe with a kick. He dropped Cage on top but angle broke up the pin. Angle sent Cage to the floor and he was left alone with Joe. Angle and Joe looked like they were going to walk out on the match when Angle hit the Olympic slam to win the match.

(1) Senshi defeated Brother Runt when he hit the top rope Warrior’s Way foot stomp.

(2) “The Future” Chris Sabin defeated Jay Lethal when he hit the Cradle Shock after a well placed heel kick to Lethal’s weapon.

[strafro]

Tomko to TNA? TNA has lost a lot of credibility in my books with this signing, this guy is horrible, I hope it's not a permanent thing. I bet the only reason they brought him in was because he was known as Christian's "Problem Solver" in WWE, they coulda used any big guy to be his backup, but had to have the WWE tie in, lame.
