Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Friday
Impact got a .9, down 11% from last week. Last night the show was up against the first NFL game of the preseason.
AW has apparently been released and he went on a big rant on Twitter after it. In a related story, AW endorsed Linda McMahon for Senate today.
Smackdown
Date: August 10, 2012
Location: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
Commentators: Michael Cole, Josh Matthews
We've got this and one more show before Summerslam so we're likely in the final push stretch now. Sheamus and Del Rio actually had something happen on Raw as Sheamus stole Del Rio's car and drove it around San Antonio while TOUTING about it. You know, about the felony he was committing. Hopefully we get a follow up on that tonight. Let's get to it.
Do You Know Your Enemy? Mine is all the dust I inhaled pulling up carpet yesterday. Annoying stuff.
Here's Booker to open the show, drawing a triple legend/hometown boy/legend pop. He's even in a tuxedo tonight which is a new look for him. Booker sucks up to the Houston crowd but says they have a problem. We get a clip from Raw of Sheamus stealing Del Rio's car. My goodness we're actually getting a follow up on it. Booker says Sheamus crossed the line and needs to apologize for it. That's quite an expensive apology.
Here's the champ who doesn't look as jovial as he usually does. He talks about Del Rio trying to take his dignity, so he took his car in exchange. Sheamus talks about how fun Monday was, but now he has to face reality. He apologizes to Booker and much faster to Del Rio.
Here are Del Rio and Ricardo who are mad. Del Rio has filed charges with the San Antonio police department but Booker says if Sheamus is put in jail, the title will be held up. Del Rio says that he doesn't care and the champion reflects on Booker. Sheamus says chill because he'll defend the title tonight. Del Rio says ok and that's that. This was an odd segment. Del Rio apparently cares about his cars more than the title, Sheamus couldn't be bailed out in the nine days before Summerslam, and I guess Del Rio is dropping the charges? The segment probably made sense but it wasn't the best delivery of their message.
Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes
What the heck happened to Cody? He was on fire and now he's forgotten enough to be put into a match with Sin Cara? Before the match Cody talks about knowing what it's like to wear a mask. He knows why Sin Cara wears a mask: he's ugly. Cody says there's nothing special about Sin Cara and that's it. We get the mood lighting and Cara gets a quick rollup for two. Cody gets sent to the floor but he blocks a baseball slide.
Rhodes goes for the mask and they head back in. Cara's dive is caught by a dropkick to the ribs for two, followed by a release gordbuster for two for Cody. Cody puts Cara in a Gory Stretch and reaches for the mask again but Cara escapes. Sin hits the Tajiri elbow followed by the corner walk armdrag. A big kick to the face sets up a springboard crossbody for two. Cody goes for the mask again but Cara kicks him in the head and small packages Cody for the pin at 3:51.
Wade Barrett is returning. I think this is the same video from Raw.
We get a recap of Daniel Bryan's plights from Raw 1001.
Here's Bryan for a chat. He says NO and the fans chant YES, much to his dismay. Bryan says he belongs in the WWE Championship match at Summerslam but instead he has to face Kane. He blames AJ for not being in the title match and shouts NO, that's not right. He deserves to be treated better than he's being treated by a skipping, Chucks wearing, power suit wearing broad. Cue Kane but before he can do anything AJ comes out. Why is she even in the building? Why am I bothering to think about things like this?
She says this is where she and Bryan first met and she's here because Booker invited her. Maybe I need to learn to be more patient with my questions. Anyway, she says we can't have Bryan and Kane coming out here all the time. She looks at Kane and says they haven't had a chance to talk lately but it's good to see him. AJ appreciates how sweet and understanding Kane was while others treated her miserably.
As for Bryan, she knows he's always been jealous of Kane and upset that he's never been able to pin Kane one on one. If Bryan is as sane as he claims, he should prove it, starting tonight by shaking Kane's hand. NO! AJ insists so Bryan puts his hand out, only to get punched in the face. The fight is on but Bryan can't hook the NO Lock. Kane kicks him to the floor and Bryan runs. This was a very forced attempt to try to make the people care about this match at the PPV but it only slightly worked. AJ looks very happy on the stage.
Booker and Teddy are in the back when Hawkins and Reks come in. They want a shot on Smackdown but Booker tells them to step it up. Booker says they couldn't beat Ryback on Raw in a handicap match so they're not A+ talents, which is what Booker wants.
Jinder Mahal vs. ???/???
No names for the jobbers. Apparently this is to prove that he can beat two guys like Ryback can. A clothesline and spinebuster put Jobber A down and the camel clutch gets the tap at 40 seconds.
Post match Mahal puts both guys in the clutch until Ryback comes out. Mahal runs so Ryback beats up the dead jobbers. That's not nice.
It's time for the Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho. Before he can say much though, here's Vickie to interrupt. For some reason Dolph can't be here so Jericho says he'll interview Dolph's mother again. They get in an EXCUSE ME shouting match until Jericho gives up. She says that if Jericho insults her again she's gone. Jericho says go then but calls her back before she leaves.
We get a clip of the Ziggler vs. Riley match on Monday with Jericho costing Dolph the match. Jericho says that the knock on him is that he can't win the big one but apparently Ziggler can't win the little one. Jericho makes fun of Vickie's hair so she yells about how great Ziggler is.
Chris says his legacy stands on his own but Ziggler got to him by saying that he hasn't won any big matches lately. Maybe it's time to bring back Y2J. Ziggler vs. Jericho is set for Summerslam and Jericho will prove that he hasn't lost his touch. Ziggler runs in from behind but the case shot misses. Vickie slaps Jericho and when he goes after her, Dolph hits the Zig Zag on Jericho. Ziggler hits him in the head with the briefcase to leave Jericho laying. Vickie throws in an evil laugh and says who's your mother now.
We recap the opening segment.
Kofi and Truth come out for commentary.
Prime Time Players vs. Primo/Epico
Still no Rosa. This is a #1 contenders match. Epico and Young start us off but it's quickly off to Titus. Truth goes on an anti-spider rant before making horse noises. Off to Primo and everything breaks down. AW throws a drink at the tag champs and the match is thrown out at 1:44.
Antonio Cesaro vs. Christian
Aksana should always wear barely there leather dresses. Cesaro does the victory in five different languages thing. Cesaro grabs a headlock to start but gets sent over the top and out to the floor. Christian misses a baseball slide and Cesaro sends him into the steps to take over. Back into the ring and it's chinlock time in a hurry as Christian is in trouble. Gutwrench suplex gets two for Antonio. He goes up but jumps into Christian's boot to start the Canadian comeback.
They trade some counters and Christian hits the sunset flip out of the corner for two. Cesaro jumps into a bridging fallaway slam for two. The Killswitch is countered by some headbutts to the back but Christian counters a slam into the reverse DDT. The spear is countered into Christian being launched into the air and landing on a European Uppercut for two. The Neutralizer is countered and Christian hits the spear for the quick pin at 4:08.
Post match Cesaro jumps Christian so apparently this isn't over, which is a good thing.
Raw ReBound.
Eve goes to see Booker again but she gets turned down for a job. Kaitlyn comes in and asks for a job as well. Booker gives her one so Eve yells. Booker makes a match between them next week with the winner getting the job.
Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz
Non-title here. Miz takes him into the corner to start and kicks Rey in the ribs to take over. Rey tries to speed things up coming out of the corner but gets caught in a backbreaker and sent to the floor. Off to a chinlock by Miz but Rey comes back with some kicks to the legs. Miz sends Mysterio to the corner and hits the running clothesline but his top rope ax handle is countered by a dropkick.
A kick to Miz's head gets two and Rey goes up. Miz tries a superplex but Rey counters into a sunset bomb which Miz counters with a right hand. A big boot puts Rey down for two but Mysterio headscissors him from the mat into 619 position. The feet get caught by Miz and he loads up the Finale, but Rey rolls through for the pin at 4:47.
BE A STAR!
Smackdown World Title: Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus
Sheamus is defending in case you're reading this 89 years from now for some reason. We only have about five minutes left so I don't see this going long or going at all. We get big match intros to kill some of that time.
Before the bell, the cops come out to arrest Sheamus. Del Rio says he never filed the report and that he wants the title match now. The cops jump Sheamus on Del Rio's orders so I guess they're lackeys. Del Rio gets sent into the corner by Sheamus but the numbers catch up with Sheamus. Alberto kicks Sheamus in the head and sends the lackeys away. The cross armbreaker ends the show. No match obviously.

Sunday
Hardcore Justice 2012
Date: August 12, 2012
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Taz
It's the last stop before we start heading towards BFG which means tonight is all about getting points in the BFG Series. Well that and the world title match with Aries defending against Roode which is the final encounter, as no one is eligible for a rematch due to a pre-match agreement. TNA has done a good job lately of making us wonder who is going to win all of these matches tonight so let's get to it.
The opening video is about how tonight is all about violence and the Series and the title is in there somewhere too.
Tenay says the TV Title is on the line tonight too so I guess we have a bonus match. Word on the street says it's Kaz challenging D-Von.
Gunner/Kid Kash vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr./Hernandez
This is probably the right choice for the opener as I don't think anyone really cares about this for the most part but it should be fine from a technical standpoint. The villains jump Chavo and Hernandez before the bell and the fans seem to be behind Chavo. The fans' pick starts with Kash and Chavo quickly hits the Three Amigos to take over. He goes up but Gunner knocks him down to slow Chavo down.
The heels use some nice double teaming moves, including a double slingshot suplex for two. Kash spends a little too much time bragging and Chavo snaps off a headscissors to take him down. There's no tag to SuperMex though as Chavo and Kash stumble into the ropes for some reason. Off to Gunner with a right hand to take Chavo down followed by a backdrop. Back to Kash who hooks a cool neck scissors (only way I can think of to describe it) on Chavo.
Hernandez is getting annoyed on the apron but Chavo is stuck in the corner. Kash hooks a camel clutch but Chavo escapes into an electric chair. Gunner breaks up ANOTHER tag attempt. When that hot tag hits the place is going to erupt. Chavo hits a European Uppercut but goes after Kash instead of making the tag. That's not very veteranly of him. They clothesline each other down and NOW we get the hot tag to Hernandez.
SuperMex cleans house and throws the evil tag stoppers around like they're small men being thrown around by a large Mexican American. Gunner breaks up a pin attempt off a shoulder block so Hernandez clotheslines them both down at once. Gunner is knocked to the floor and SuperMex dives over the top to take Gunner out. Chavo tagged himself in as Hernandez was diving and after Kash is taken down by a slingshot shoulder block, the Frog Splash pins Kash at 9:37.
The people in the Series say they'll win.

Bound For Glory Series: D'Angelo Dinero vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Magnus
This is Falls Count Anywhere and it's for 20 points. Dinero is jumped in the back by Aces and 8's before the match so I guess we have a three way instead. Apparently someone is late to the show but I didn't catch the name. Anderson is fine with Dinero being out because it's one less guy to worry about. They play to the crowd to start but Van Dam gets jumped by Magnus and knocked over the top rope to the floor.
Anderson clotheslines Magnus down but can only get a one count. Van Dam comes back in and monkey flips everyone in sight. Well everyone who isn't a referee that is. Magnus and Van Dam go to the floor but Anderson breaks up the spinning legdrop off the apron. Anderson sends Magnus into the apron for one on the floor. Magnus gets a chair as I assume this is hardcore and not just falls count anywhere.
Anderson knocks the chair away from Magnus but his DDT onto the chair is broken up. The two of them brawl up to the stage on the floor but Van Dam pelts a chair at Magnus to break it up. Now he hits the spinning leg to the back of Anderson who was on the barricade next to the ramp. Magnus gets in a shot to Van Dam's knee and puts on a Texas Cloverleaf on the stage, only to have Anderson clothesline him in the back of the head to break the hold.
Back to the ring and Anderson and Magnus hit a double clothesline to take each other down. Van Dam stumbles in to try the Five Star but Anderson crotches him. They load up a Tower of Doom but Anderson breaks it up. He tries the superplex on RVD but gets knocked down and Five Starred but Magnus breaks up the pin. Magnus suplexes RVD on the ramp and asks for an expletive chair. RVD goes up the ramp with the Brit following with the aforementioned chair. Apparently no one has watched tape because YOU DON'T HOLD UP A CHAIR IN FRONT OF VAN DAM! Van Daminator gets the pin on Magnus at 9:06.
Security can't find Aces and 8's.
Madison Rayne says she doesn't need help to win titles so Earl Hebner won't mean anything. If only that were true.
TV Title: D-Von vs. Kazarian
D-Von is defending. Kaz stalls on the floor to start but D-Von launches him into the ring. They head to the floor and a drink is knocked into the camera. D-Von is in full control and hits Kaz in the head with a bottle of water. Kaz tries to run up the steps but slips a bit, giving D-Von a heads up and letting him slam Kaz when he dives at the champ. Back inside and Kaz gets in his first offense in the form of a clothesline.
A springboard reverse elbow sets up a springboard legdrop for two. Off to a chinlock which doesn't last long, but it gives the announcers enough time to talk about the planets for some reason. D-Von starts a comeback with some chops but gets poked in the eye to stop that cold. A spear out of nowhere takes Kaz down so hard that he stands on his head for a bit.
D-Von starts his comeback with the shoulders and a headbutt for no cover. Another shoulder gets two and D-Von has his goofy look. Kaz misses a charge in the corner and D-Von hits the neckbreaker out of the corner for two. A crucifix gets two for Kaz but Fade to Black is countered into the spinebuster for the pin to retain at 8:34.
We recap Earl Hebner and Madison. The hot chick has a crush on the old man and he's helped Madison win some matches. Tonight it's a title match. Gee I wonder if that'll mean anything.
Knockouts Title: Madison Rayne vs. Miss Tessmacher
Tessmacher is defending. They shove each other around to start and Earl is refereeing. WHY WOULD STING LET HIM DO THAT? Madison takes over by sending Tessmacher into the corner and then launches her across the ring by the hair. That has to hurt like no other. Tessmacher comes back with some clotheslines but walks into a northern lights suplex for two. The real comeback starts with some clotheslines but that mat slam of Tessmacher's is countered. The champ slams her down by the hair and hits a top rope elbow for two. Out of nowhere Madison grabs a rollup and uses the ropes for the pin and the title at 5:30.
Bully Ray, with his back to the wall, shows JB a Dead Man's Hand he found on his car. He tells Aces and 8's to bring it on and says he's going to Bound For Glory.
We recap the history of Aces and 8's.
Bound For Glory Series: James Storm vs. Robbie E vs. Bully Ray vs. Jeff Hardy
Another 20 points on the line here and this is a tables match. I believe it's one fall to a finish. Storm is still being accused of being behind Aces and 8's but there's no concrete evidence. Ray tells everyone to go after Storm but Robbie wants nothing to do with it. Robbie is promptly chopped in the chest and punched in the face for his disagreements. Jeff and James throw him to the floor but they get their heads taken off by Ray.
Ray beats on Robbie a bit and brings in the first table of the match. Hardy breaks up an attempted suplex through said table but Robbie moves the table to avoid a double suplex to Ray. Unfortunately he doesn't move it well enough and Ray's arm knocks off a piece of the table. That doesn't count though because we can't have a three minute match so we keep going.
Robbie comes in and takes over, putting Jeff on the table but he stops to fist pump. Storm breaks the attempt up and tries a superplex on Robbie, but Jeff turns it into a Tower of Doom. Ray moves the table but lets Robbie get destroyed anyway. Smart man there. Storm moves the table so Hardy can't be backdropped through it and the Cowboy is the only one standing.
Storm takes too long setting up a table in the corner and Rob gets in a shot to the Cowboy's back. Hardy gets back up and knocks Robbie down again to take over. There's a table set up on the floor with the Jersey Shore dude placed on it but Robbie T comes out as a distraction. Since Hardy isn't the smartest guy in the world, he dives over E on the table to take T out instead. Storm and Ray are fighting off camera as Jeff is placed on a table on the floor. Robbie dives off the middle rope but Hardy moves, sending Robbie crashing through the table.
Back in the ring Storm beats up Ray and hits an enziguri in the corner, only to have his head taken off by a Ray clothesline a second later. There's a table set up in the corner and Ray sets to drive Storm through it but here are Aces and 8's. They don't get in but the distraction lets Storm kick Ray down. The masked men give Storm a thumbs up but he doesn't care.
Hardy comes back and jumps Storm as the match continues. The table is set up in the middle of the ring and Hardy hits Whisper in the Wind (not through the table). Last Call is blocked and Hardy hits the Twist of Fate. He puts Storm on the table but Aces and 8's distract Jeff. Storm hits the superkick on Jeff but Ray comes back in and kicks Storm down before powerbombing Hardy through the table for the win at 9:45.
Ray seems to have a bad elbow due to the inadvertent crash through the table earlier.
Austin Aries talks about how Roode seems obsessed with having a rematch clause. Tonight he'll take care of everything that he has to, and if that includes Aces and 8's so be it.
We recap the X Title match. King jumped to TNA and wants to be champion because if not, it was a failed risk.
X-Division Title: Kenny King vs. Zema Ion
King is challenging. Feeling out process to start with King finally taking over with a headlock. A backslide gets two as does La Majistral. Back to the headlock and then out to the floor with King hitting a sweet flip dive off the apron. They head back inside for a second but King is knocked back outside where the champ hits a flip dive of his own. Ion hits a neckbreaker for two and it's off to a chinlock.
That only lasts a few seconds as Ion chokes instead. Now we get a longer lasting chinlock followed by a DDT for two. King comes back with an atomic drop and things speed up a bit. A high collar throw puts Ion into the corner and out to the floor. King hits a BIG corkscrew dive to the floor which gets two back in.
The modified F5 is broken up but King puts on a half crab of all things. A kick similar to Trouble in Paradise misses and a flipping backbreaker gets two for Ion. King hits a knee to the head for two and knocks the hairspray out of Ion's hand. They head to the corner and King sets for some kind of sunset flip but gets countered into something like a shoulderbreaker for the pin by Ion to retain at 11:03.
Joe tells Aces and 8's to bring it and that he's winning tonight.
Bound For Glory Series: AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels
20 points and it's a ladder match. AJ immediately jumps Daniels and beats on him until Angle pulls Styles off. Angle jumps in and stomps on Daniels until Joe wants a turn. All three guys take their shots at Daniels who finally tries a BME, only to miss completely. Joe takes over but AJ knocks him to the floor and hits a big flip dive. It's Styles vs. Angle in the ring but Daniels gets the ladder and hits AJ in the knee with it to take over.
The ladder is brought in but Joe slams Daniels onto it and goes for a climb. Angle and AJ come back in and knock the ladder down with Kurt taking over. Daniels jumps Angle from behind and sets the ladder up, only to get buckle bombed by Joe. The Samoan goes up but Angle makes the save and hits the overhead belly to belly to take Joe down. The fans chant USA despite all four guys being American.
Angle stomps on Styles but AJ shoves the ladder into his face to change control again. The Pele takes Joe down and AJ pounds on Daniels in the corner. Joe gets back up and cleans house, throwing around everyone in sight. He loads up the MuscleBuster on Styles but Angle comes in and grabs Joe for a German while he's still holding AJ. Since that would probably kill AJ, he falls out and lands on Joe instead. Daniels hits an STO on Angle and goes for a climb but Kurt grabs the ankle to break it up.
AJ knocks everyone down and goes up, only for Daniels to shove him off the top and out to the floor in a scary landing. Joe and Angle bring Daniels down and it's time for some suplexes. It turns into can you top this on Daniels which is always fun. There's an Angle Slam and then Angle starts thinking. Daniels is put inside the ladder so that his head is coming through one hole and his legs are through another. The beating continues until Kurt climbs up. Daniels grabs his leg so Joe sets up another ladder and climbs as well. AJ pops in out of NOWHERE with the Shelton Benjamin leap and grabs the envelope to win at 16:18.
Roode says he'll win and that Aries is a fluke.
We recap the world title match. Roode was champion forever and Aries got the title match because he was X-Division Champion. He won the match to prove he could hang with the big boys and Roode has been furious since. Tonight it's the final match and there are no rematches for either if they lose.
TNA World Title: Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode
After some big match intros we're ready to go. Roode is challenging if that last paragraph was too tough for you. Aries grabs a quick Last Chancery and Roode bails to the floor. Roode stalls and hides on the floor and the match slows down a lot. The fans call Roode a coward and he's walking away. The referee reminds him that there's no rematch so Roode asks for time. When that's denied he slips in and back out, so Aries dives on him in a great looking jump.
Aries knocks Roode around the ring a bit and goes to the apron again for another dive. This time Roode moves and Aries crashes into the barricade ribs first. Back inside and the challenger keeps up his advantage with a belly to back suplex and a knee drop for two. Roode wraps up Aries from behind to squeeze on the ribs a bit followed by some shoulders into the ribs. Aries grabs a sunset flip for two but a gutbuster stops him cold.
Back to the body vice for a bit before Bobby puts Aries up in the Tree of Woe. Aries finally escapes and hits an atomic drop and clothesline to send Roode to the floor. Aries loads up the suicide dive but Roode moves before it's launched. Unfortunately for Roode he moves into position for a double ax off the top. Back in the ring and there's the Last Chancery from the champ. Aries switches that off to a Crossface instead but Roode reverses into one of his own.
Aries finally makes the rope and we're back where we started. They chop it out and Aries hits a missile dropkick for two. The brainbuster is countered into Roode's spinebuster for two and both guys are needing some air. Aries goes up and after knocking Roode off the top, he fires the 450 but Roode gets the knees up.
Since this is a TNA PPV main event, the referee gets speared down by mistake, followed by a spear to Aries as well. Another referee comes in and counts two off the spear. The second referee doesn't last long though as he gets crushed in the corner by Roode. The brainbuster hits Roode but the delayed cover means it only gets two. Aries goes up again but gets crotched. Roode hits a superplex but Aries hooks Roode's feet for a kind of small package. Both referees count and it's a double pin at 22:55.
We get the traditional arguing post match....and we're going to restart it? Apparently so and Aries loads up the suicide dive, only to ram his head into the belt that Roode was holding at the time. HOW IS THAT NOT A DQ? Either way it only gets two. Roode goes to pick Aries up and gets rolled up for the pin after maybe a minute of restart time.

Commentators: Michael Cole, Josh Matthews
We've got this and one more show before Summerslam so we're likely in the final push stretch now. Sheamus and Del Rio actually had something happen on Raw as Sheamus stole Del Rio's car and drove it around San Antonio while TOUTING about it. You know, about the felony he was committing. Hopefully we get a follow up on that tonight. Let's get to it.
Do You Know Your Enemy? Mine is all the dust I inhaled pulling up carpet yesterday. Annoying stuff.
Here's Booker to open the show, drawing a triple legend/hometown boy/legend pop. He's even in a tuxedo tonight which is a new look for him. Booker sucks up to the Houston crowd but says they have a problem. We get a clip from Raw of Sheamus stealing Del Rio's car. My goodness we're actually getting a follow up on it. Booker says Sheamus crossed the line and needs to apologize for it. That's quite an expensive apology.
Here's the champ who doesn't look as jovial as he usually does. He talks about Del Rio trying to take his dignity, so he took his car in exchange. Sheamus talks about how fun Monday was, but now he has to face reality. He apologizes to Booker and much faster to Del Rio.
Here are Del Rio and Ricardo who are mad. Del Rio has filed charges with the San Antonio police department but Booker says if Sheamus is put in jail, the title will be held up. Del Rio says that he doesn't care and the champion reflects on Booker. Sheamus says chill because he'll defend the title tonight. Del Rio says ok and that's that. This was an odd segment. Del Rio apparently cares about his cars more than the title, Sheamus couldn't be bailed out in the nine days before Summerslam, and I guess Del Rio is dropping the charges? The segment probably made sense but it wasn't the best delivery of their message.
Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes
What the heck happened to Cody? He was on fire and now he's forgotten enough to be put into a match with Sin Cara? Before the match Cody talks about knowing what it's like to wear a mask. He knows why Sin Cara wears a mask: he's ugly. Cody says there's nothing special about Sin Cara and that's it. We get the mood lighting and Cara gets a quick rollup for two. Cody gets sent to the floor but he blocks a baseball slide.
Rhodes goes for the mask and they head back in. Cara's dive is caught by a dropkick to the ribs for two, followed by a release gordbuster for two for Cody. Cody puts Cara in a Gory Stretch and reaches for the mask again but Cara escapes. Sin hits the Tajiri elbow followed by the corner walk armdrag. A big kick to the face sets up a springboard crossbody for two. Cody goes for the mask again but Cara kicks him in the head and small packages Cody for the pin at 3:51.
Wade Barrett is returning. I think this is the same video from Raw.
We get a recap of Daniel Bryan's plights from Raw 1001.
Here's Bryan for a chat. He says NO and the fans chant YES, much to his dismay. Bryan says he belongs in the WWE Championship match at Summerslam but instead he has to face Kane. He blames AJ for not being in the title match and shouts NO, that's not right. He deserves to be treated better than he's being treated by a skipping, Chucks wearing, power suit wearing broad. Cue Kane but before he can do anything AJ comes out. Why is she even in the building? Why am I bothering to think about things like this?
She says this is where she and Bryan first met and she's here because Booker invited her. Maybe I need to learn to be more patient with my questions. Anyway, she says we can't have Bryan and Kane coming out here all the time. She looks at Kane and says they haven't had a chance to talk lately but it's good to see him. AJ appreciates how sweet and understanding Kane was while others treated her miserably.
As for Bryan, she knows he's always been jealous of Kane and upset that he's never been able to pin Kane one on one. If Bryan is as sane as he claims, he should prove it, starting tonight by shaking Kane's hand. NO! AJ insists so Bryan puts his hand out, only to get punched in the face. The fight is on but Bryan can't hook the NO Lock. Kane kicks him to the floor and Bryan runs. This was a very forced attempt to try to make the people care about this match at the PPV but it only slightly worked. AJ looks very happy on the stage.
Booker and Teddy are in the back when Hawkins and Reks come in. They want a shot on Smackdown but Booker tells them to step it up. Booker says they couldn't beat Ryback on Raw in a handicap match so they're not A+ talents, which is what Booker wants.
Jinder Mahal vs. ???/???
No names for the jobbers. Apparently this is to prove that he can beat two guys like Ryback can. A clothesline and spinebuster put Jobber A down and the camel clutch gets the tap at 40 seconds.
Post match Mahal puts both guys in the clutch until Ryback comes out. Mahal runs so Ryback beats up the dead jobbers. That's not nice.
It's time for the Highlight Reel with Chris Jericho. Before he can say much though, here's Vickie to interrupt. For some reason Dolph can't be here so Jericho says he'll interview Dolph's mother again. They get in an EXCUSE ME shouting match until Jericho gives up. She says that if Jericho insults her again she's gone. Jericho says go then but calls her back before she leaves.
We get a clip of the Ziggler vs. Riley match on Monday with Jericho costing Dolph the match. Jericho says that the knock on him is that he can't win the big one but apparently Ziggler can't win the little one. Jericho makes fun of Vickie's hair so she yells about how great Ziggler is.
Chris says his legacy stands on his own but Ziggler got to him by saying that he hasn't won any big matches lately. Maybe it's time to bring back Y2J. Ziggler vs. Jericho is set for Summerslam and Jericho will prove that he hasn't lost his touch. Ziggler runs in from behind but the case shot misses. Vickie slaps Jericho and when he goes after her, Dolph hits the Zig Zag on Jericho. Ziggler hits him in the head with the briefcase to leave Jericho laying. Vickie throws in an evil laugh and says who's your mother now.
We recap the opening segment.
Kofi and Truth come out for commentary.
Prime Time Players vs. Primo/Epico
Still no Rosa. This is a #1 contenders match. Epico and Young start us off but it's quickly off to Titus. Truth goes on an anti-spider rant before making horse noises. Off to Primo and everything breaks down. AW throws a drink at the tag champs and the match is thrown out at 1:44.
Antonio Cesaro vs. Christian
Aksana should always wear barely there leather dresses. Cesaro does the victory in five different languages thing. Cesaro grabs a headlock to start but gets sent over the top and out to the floor. Christian misses a baseball slide and Cesaro sends him into the steps to take over. Back into the ring and it's chinlock time in a hurry as Christian is in trouble. Gutwrench suplex gets two for Antonio. He goes up but jumps into Christian's boot to start the Canadian comeback.
They trade some counters and Christian hits the sunset flip out of the corner for two. Cesaro jumps into a bridging fallaway slam for two. The Killswitch is countered by some headbutts to the back but Christian counters a slam into the reverse DDT. The spear is countered into Christian being launched into the air and landing on a European Uppercut for two. The Neutralizer is countered and Christian hits the spear for the quick pin at 4:08.
Post match Cesaro jumps Christian so apparently this isn't over, which is a good thing.
Raw ReBound.
Eve goes to see Booker again but she gets turned down for a job. Kaitlyn comes in and asks for a job as well. Booker gives her one so Eve yells. Booker makes a match between them next week with the winner getting the job.
Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz
Non-title here. Miz takes him into the corner to start and kicks Rey in the ribs to take over. Rey tries to speed things up coming out of the corner but gets caught in a backbreaker and sent to the floor. Off to a chinlock by Miz but Rey comes back with some kicks to the legs. Miz sends Mysterio to the corner and hits the running clothesline but his top rope ax handle is countered by a dropkick.
A kick to Miz's head gets two and Rey goes up. Miz tries a superplex but Rey counters into a sunset bomb which Miz counters with a right hand. A big boot puts Rey down for two but Mysterio headscissors him from the mat into 619 position. The feet get caught by Miz and he loads up the Finale, but Rey rolls through for the pin at 4:47.
BE A STAR!
Smackdown World Title: Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus
Sheamus is defending in case you're reading this 89 years from now for some reason. We only have about five minutes left so I don't see this going long or going at all. We get big match intros to kill some of that time.
Before the bell, the cops come out to arrest Sheamus. Del Rio says he never filed the report and that he wants the title match now. The cops jump Sheamus on Del Rio's orders so I guess they're lackeys. Del Rio gets sent into the corner by Sheamus but the numbers catch up with Sheamus. Alberto kicks Sheamus in the head and sends the lackeys away. The cross armbreaker ends the show. No match obviously.

Date: August 12, 2012
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Taz
It's the last stop before we start heading towards BFG which means tonight is all about getting points in the BFG Series. Well that and the world title match with Aries defending against Roode which is the final encounter, as no one is eligible for a rematch due to a pre-match agreement. TNA has done a good job lately of making us wonder who is going to win all of these matches tonight so let's get to it.
The opening video is about how tonight is all about violence and the Series and the title is in there somewhere too.
Tenay says the TV Title is on the line tonight too so I guess we have a bonus match. Word on the street says it's Kaz challenging D-Von.
Gunner/Kid Kash vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr./Hernandez
This is probably the right choice for the opener as I don't think anyone really cares about this for the most part but it should be fine from a technical standpoint. The villains jump Chavo and Hernandez before the bell and the fans seem to be behind Chavo. The fans' pick starts with Kash and Chavo quickly hits the Three Amigos to take over. He goes up but Gunner knocks him down to slow Chavo down.
The heels use some nice double teaming moves, including a double slingshot suplex for two. Kash spends a little too much time bragging and Chavo snaps off a headscissors to take him down. There's no tag to SuperMex though as Chavo and Kash stumble into the ropes for some reason. Off to Gunner with a right hand to take Chavo down followed by a backdrop. Back to Kash who hooks a cool neck scissors (only way I can think of to describe it) on Chavo.
Hernandez is getting annoyed on the apron but Chavo is stuck in the corner. Kash hooks a camel clutch but Chavo escapes into an electric chair. Gunner breaks up ANOTHER tag attempt. When that hot tag hits the place is going to erupt. Chavo hits a European Uppercut but goes after Kash instead of making the tag. That's not very veteranly of him. They clothesline each other down and NOW we get the hot tag to Hernandez.
SuperMex cleans house and throws the evil tag stoppers around like they're small men being thrown around by a large Mexican American. Gunner breaks up a pin attempt off a shoulder block so Hernandez clotheslines them both down at once. Gunner is knocked to the floor and SuperMex dives over the top to take Gunner out. Chavo tagged himself in as Hernandez was diving and after Kash is taken down by a slingshot shoulder block, the Frog Splash pins Kash at 9:37.
The people in the Series say they'll win.

Bound For Glory Series: D'Angelo Dinero vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Magnus
This is Falls Count Anywhere and it's for 20 points. Dinero is jumped in the back by Aces and 8's before the match so I guess we have a three way instead. Apparently someone is late to the show but I didn't catch the name. Anderson is fine with Dinero being out because it's one less guy to worry about. They play to the crowd to start but Van Dam gets jumped by Magnus and knocked over the top rope to the floor.
Anderson clotheslines Magnus down but can only get a one count. Van Dam comes back in and monkey flips everyone in sight. Well everyone who isn't a referee that is. Magnus and Van Dam go to the floor but Anderson breaks up the spinning legdrop off the apron. Anderson sends Magnus into the apron for one on the floor. Magnus gets a chair as I assume this is hardcore and not just falls count anywhere.
Anderson knocks the chair away from Magnus but his DDT onto the chair is broken up. The two of them brawl up to the stage on the floor but Van Dam pelts a chair at Magnus to break it up. Now he hits the spinning leg to the back of Anderson who was on the barricade next to the ramp. Magnus gets in a shot to Van Dam's knee and puts on a Texas Cloverleaf on the stage, only to have Anderson clothesline him in the back of the head to break the hold.
Back to the ring and Anderson and Magnus hit a double clothesline to take each other down. Van Dam stumbles in to try the Five Star but Anderson crotches him. They load up a Tower of Doom but Anderson breaks it up. He tries the superplex on RVD but gets knocked down and Five Starred but Magnus breaks up the pin. Magnus suplexes RVD on the ramp and asks for an expletive chair. RVD goes up the ramp with the Brit following with the aforementioned chair. Apparently no one has watched tape because YOU DON'T HOLD UP A CHAIR IN FRONT OF VAN DAM! Van Daminator gets the pin on Magnus at 9:06.
Security can't find Aces and 8's.
Madison Rayne says she doesn't need help to win titles so Earl Hebner won't mean anything. If only that were true.
TV Title: D-Von vs. Kazarian
D-Von is defending. Kaz stalls on the floor to start but D-Von launches him into the ring. They head to the floor and a drink is knocked into the camera. D-Von is in full control and hits Kaz in the head with a bottle of water. Kaz tries to run up the steps but slips a bit, giving D-Von a heads up and letting him slam Kaz when he dives at the champ. Back inside and Kaz gets in his first offense in the form of a clothesline.
A springboard reverse elbow sets up a springboard legdrop for two. Off to a chinlock which doesn't last long, but it gives the announcers enough time to talk about the planets for some reason. D-Von starts a comeback with some chops but gets poked in the eye to stop that cold. A spear out of nowhere takes Kaz down so hard that he stands on his head for a bit.
D-Von starts his comeback with the shoulders and a headbutt for no cover. Another shoulder gets two and D-Von has his goofy look. Kaz misses a charge in the corner and D-Von hits the neckbreaker out of the corner for two. A crucifix gets two for Kaz but Fade to Black is countered into the spinebuster for the pin to retain at 8:34.
We recap Earl Hebner and Madison. The hot chick has a crush on the old man and he's helped Madison win some matches. Tonight it's a title match. Gee I wonder if that'll mean anything.
Knockouts Title: Madison Rayne vs. Miss Tessmacher
Tessmacher is defending. They shove each other around to start and Earl is refereeing. WHY WOULD STING LET HIM DO THAT? Madison takes over by sending Tessmacher into the corner and then launches her across the ring by the hair. That has to hurt like no other. Tessmacher comes back with some clotheslines but walks into a northern lights suplex for two. The real comeback starts with some clotheslines but that mat slam of Tessmacher's is countered. The champ slams her down by the hair and hits a top rope elbow for two. Out of nowhere Madison grabs a rollup and uses the ropes for the pin and the title at 5:30.
Bully Ray, with his back to the wall, shows JB a Dead Man's Hand he found on his car. He tells Aces and 8's to bring it on and says he's going to Bound For Glory.
We recap the history of Aces and 8's.
Bound For Glory Series: James Storm vs. Robbie E vs. Bully Ray vs. Jeff Hardy
Another 20 points on the line here and this is a tables match. I believe it's one fall to a finish. Storm is still being accused of being behind Aces and 8's but there's no concrete evidence. Ray tells everyone to go after Storm but Robbie wants nothing to do with it. Robbie is promptly chopped in the chest and punched in the face for his disagreements. Jeff and James throw him to the floor but they get their heads taken off by Ray.
Ray beats on Robbie a bit and brings in the first table of the match. Hardy breaks up an attempted suplex through said table but Robbie moves the table to avoid a double suplex to Ray. Unfortunately he doesn't move it well enough and Ray's arm knocks off a piece of the table. That doesn't count though because we can't have a three minute match so we keep going.
Robbie comes in and takes over, putting Jeff on the table but he stops to fist pump. Storm breaks the attempt up and tries a superplex on Robbie, but Jeff turns it into a Tower of Doom. Ray moves the table but lets Robbie get destroyed anyway. Smart man there. Storm moves the table so Hardy can't be backdropped through it and the Cowboy is the only one standing.
Storm takes too long setting up a table in the corner and Rob gets in a shot to the Cowboy's back. Hardy gets back up and knocks Robbie down again to take over. There's a table set up on the floor with the Jersey Shore dude placed on it but Robbie T comes out as a distraction. Since Hardy isn't the smartest guy in the world, he dives over E on the table to take T out instead. Storm and Ray are fighting off camera as Jeff is placed on a table on the floor. Robbie dives off the middle rope but Hardy moves, sending Robbie crashing through the table.
Back in the ring Storm beats up Ray and hits an enziguri in the corner, only to have his head taken off by a Ray clothesline a second later. There's a table set up in the corner and Ray sets to drive Storm through it but here are Aces and 8's. They don't get in but the distraction lets Storm kick Ray down. The masked men give Storm a thumbs up but he doesn't care.
Hardy comes back and jumps Storm as the match continues. The table is set up in the middle of the ring and Hardy hits Whisper in the Wind (not through the table). Last Call is blocked and Hardy hits the Twist of Fate. He puts Storm on the table but Aces and 8's distract Jeff. Storm hits the superkick on Jeff but Ray comes back in and kicks Storm down before powerbombing Hardy through the table for the win at 9:45.
Ray seems to have a bad elbow due to the inadvertent crash through the table earlier.
Austin Aries talks about how Roode seems obsessed with having a rematch clause. Tonight he'll take care of everything that he has to, and if that includes Aces and 8's so be it.
We recap the X Title match. King jumped to TNA and wants to be champion because if not, it was a failed risk.
X-Division Title: Kenny King vs. Zema Ion
King is challenging. Feeling out process to start with King finally taking over with a headlock. A backslide gets two as does La Majistral. Back to the headlock and then out to the floor with King hitting a sweet flip dive off the apron. They head back inside for a second but King is knocked back outside where the champ hits a flip dive of his own. Ion hits a neckbreaker for two and it's off to a chinlock.
That only lasts a few seconds as Ion chokes instead. Now we get a longer lasting chinlock followed by a DDT for two. King comes back with an atomic drop and things speed up a bit. A high collar throw puts Ion into the corner and out to the floor. King hits a BIG corkscrew dive to the floor which gets two back in.
The modified F5 is broken up but King puts on a half crab of all things. A kick similar to Trouble in Paradise misses and a flipping backbreaker gets two for Ion. King hits a knee to the head for two and knocks the hairspray out of Ion's hand. They head to the corner and King sets for some kind of sunset flip but gets countered into something like a shoulderbreaker for the pin by Ion to retain at 11:03.
Joe tells Aces and 8's to bring it and that he's winning tonight.
Bound For Glory Series: AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels
20 points and it's a ladder match. AJ immediately jumps Daniels and beats on him until Angle pulls Styles off. Angle jumps in and stomps on Daniels until Joe wants a turn. All three guys take their shots at Daniels who finally tries a BME, only to miss completely. Joe takes over but AJ knocks him to the floor and hits a big flip dive. It's Styles vs. Angle in the ring but Daniels gets the ladder and hits AJ in the knee with it to take over.
The ladder is brought in but Joe slams Daniels onto it and goes for a climb. Angle and AJ come back in and knock the ladder down with Kurt taking over. Daniels jumps Angle from behind and sets the ladder up, only to get buckle bombed by Joe. The Samoan goes up but Angle makes the save and hits the overhead belly to belly to take Joe down. The fans chant USA despite all four guys being American.
Angle stomps on Styles but AJ shoves the ladder into his face to change control again. The Pele takes Joe down and AJ pounds on Daniels in the corner. Joe gets back up and cleans house, throwing around everyone in sight. He loads up the MuscleBuster on Styles but Angle comes in and grabs Joe for a German while he's still holding AJ. Since that would probably kill AJ, he falls out and lands on Joe instead. Daniels hits an STO on Angle and goes for a climb but Kurt grabs the ankle to break it up.
AJ knocks everyone down and goes up, only for Daniels to shove him off the top and out to the floor in a scary landing. Joe and Angle bring Daniels down and it's time for some suplexes. It turns into can you top this on Daniels which is always fun. There's an Angle Slam and then Angle starts thinking. Daniels is put inside the ladder so that his head is coming through one hole and his legs are through another. The beating continues until Kurt climbs up. Daniels grabs his leg so Joe sets up another ladder and climbs as well. AJ pops in out of NOWHERE with the Shelton Benjamin leap and grabs the envelope to win at 16:18.
Roode says he'll win and that Aries is a fluke.
We recap the world title match. Roode was champion forever and Aries got the title match because he was X-Division Champion. He won the match to prove he could hang with the big boys and Roode has been furious since. Tonight it's the final match and there are no rematches for either if they lose.
TNA World Title: Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode
After some big match intros we're ready to go. Roode is challenging if that last paragraph was too tough for you. Aries grabs a quick Last Chancery and Roode bails to the floor. Roode stalls and hides on the floor and the match slows down a lot. The fans call Roode a coward and he's walking away. The referee reminds him that there's no rematch so Roode asks for time. When that's denied he slips in and back out, so Aries dives on him in a great looking jump.
Aries knocks Roode around the ring a bit and goes to the apron again for another dive. This time Roode moves and Aries crashes into the barricade ribs first. Back inside and the challenger keeps up his advantage with a belly to back suplex and a knee drop for two. Roode wraps up Aries from behind to squeeze on the ribs a bit followed by some shoulders into the ribs. Aries grabs a sunset flip for two but a gutbuster stops him cold.
Back to the body vice for a bit before Bobby puts Aries up in the Tree of Woe. Aries finally escapes and hits an atomic drop and clothesline to send Roode to the floor. Aries loads up the suicide dive but Roode moves before it's launched. Unfortunately for Roode he moves into position for a double ax off the top. Back in the ring and there's the Last Chancery from the champ. Aries switches that off to a Crossface instead but Roode reverses into one of his own.
Aries finally makes the rope and we're back where we started. They chop it out and Aries hits a missile dropkick for two. The brainbuster is countered into Roode's spinebuster for two and both guys are needing some air. Aries goes up and after knocking Roode off the top, he fires the 450 but Roode gets the knees up.
Since this is a TNA PPV main event, the referee gets speared down by mistake, followed by a spear to Aries as well. Another referee comes in and counts two off the spear. The second referee doesn't last long though as he gets crushed in the corner by Roode. The brainbuster hits Roode but the delayed cover means it only gets two. Aries goes up again but gets crotched. Roode hits a superplex but Aries hooks Roode's feet for a kind of small package. Both referees count and it's a double pin at 22:55.
We get the traditional arguing post match....and we're going to restart it? Apparently so and Aries loads up the suicide dive, only to ram his head into the belt that Roode was holding at the time. HOW IS THAT NOT A DQ? Either way it only gets two. Roode goes to pick Aries up and gets rolled up for the pin after maybe a minute of restart time.
