- Impact starts with an MEM promo. All of the MEM is out. There were so many boos that you could not make out what Kurt was saying. I heard that they were celebrating the MEM being around for a year and was essentially a pep talk showing how everyone needs to win their matches at BFG.
AJ/Beer Money/Matt Morgan/Hernandez/Team 3D come out on the ramp. Ray says that everyone is tired of the MEM. He hands the mic to the champ and calls BFG a make or break show in terms of the Mafia's tenure in TNA. Says they are 3 days away from the MEM ceasing to exist. Matt Morgan says he is not waiting 3 days. He runs down to the ring along with the rest on the ramp and a brawl starts. Security broke it up.
- The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky/Lacey Von Erich/Madison Rayne) vs. ODB/Amazing Kong with Raisha Saeed/Tara
This match did not last long. Kong and Tara got in a disagreement and Kong left. Then ODB and Victoria got in a disagreement and she left ODB by herself to get pinned by Velvet. Lacey was hardly in the match to my recollection. Lasted about 3 minutes.
- X-Division Title Match: Amazing Red (C) with DON WEST vs. Suicide
Needless to say I marked for this decision because back in the weekly PPV days, Don ALWAYS marked for Red including standing on the announce table and chanted "GO RED GO" in a couple matches. The match itself was good at about 3:40 in time. The Pope interfered and the match was ruled a no contest. Pope went to attack Suicide as Red looked on but Red hit Pope with a dropkick to send Pope to the back.
- Hernandez in a gauntlet match against The British Invasion.
Eric Young is on commentary for this. Hernandez enters (in his old LAX gear AKA white wifebeater/khaki shorts). He gets in Eric Young's face and says something on the mic but I could not hear it. Doug Williams comes out and is eliminated in about a minute. Brutus Magnus is eliminated in about 2. Rob Terry is last and is taken out with a brutal Liger Bomb by Hernandez in about a 4 minute gauntlet. EY jumps Hernandez and he and the British Invasion beat him down.
- Christopher Daniels beat The Pope in about a 5 minute match via The Angel's Wings. Pretty good for what it was. Suicide runs out after the match and looks like he is going to go after the Pope but goes after Daniels instead and hits a Gringo Killer on Daniels and unmasks as Homicide. I am assuming Homicide somehow acquired Suicide's gear but I was a little confused by that.
- There is a lounge chair in the ring. Mick Foley comes out with a bowl of popcorn and sits in it. He essentially called Abyss "good for a Foley knockoff." He then airs some clips of Abyssiv make your decision spoilers. He shows Abyss with Mitchell calling having an evil manager "original." He shows Abyss pouring tacks in Monster's Ball III at BFG 06 mentioning how he did that in 1995. He then shows Abyss going through the flaming table at BFG IV saying how he did that with Edge in what was considered the Match of the Year. Abyss comes out with a Barbed Wire Bat. He pushes Foley out of the chair and holds the bat against him. A video is shown on the screen of (whom I assume to be Lauren) with her back to the camera and Stevie holding her. Foley tells Abyss to go find her. He runs to the back. They did not show the end to this segment. I would assume that it was Daffney disguised as Lauren and she and Stevie jumped Abyss.
- Alissa Flash vs. Ayako Hamada in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Pretty fun little brawl. Some spots included a curb stomp off the floor, Ayako doing a flipping senton onto Melissa from the ramp to the side of the stage. Ayako won via moonsault through a table on the outside in about 5 minutes. It was good and will probably come off better on TV.
- Bobby Lashley vs. Rhino in a Stretcher match.
Rules for this were you had to put your opponent on a stretcher and take him to the back. Not much better than their PPV match in September. Rhino went for a Gore through the stage setup (ala Abyss/Angle at Turning Point last year) but Lashley got out of the way. Lashley won the match in 5:24. He had some problems putting Rhino in the ambulance so he essentially had Rhino on the stretcher and just kind of dumped him into the ambulance for the win.
- AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle (Non title)
Not to overhype this, but to me, this was one of the best matches in Impact history. Up there with the likes of Joe/Daniels in 06, AJ & Dutt & Aries/Joe & Daniels & Shelley in 05, and Storm/Harris in 07. It ended in a very competitive 20 minute draw. As far as star ratings go, I would put it in the AV儿劣3/4 to AV儿劣*1/4 margin. They literally busted out everything and then some (no spiral tap spotting though). Unlike how the Orlando crowd can be, they were really into the match and did not bust out a "This is awesome" chant until about 15 to 16 minutes into the match. The last 30 seconds had Angle hold AJ in the Ankle Lock but AJ did not tap as the time limit expired. Sting comes down after the match and AJ ignored him. He got on
- Perfect way to start the show. I can't wait for Bound for Glory! Should be a monumental night and a turning point (no pun intended) for TNA.
- Kong vs. Tara feud has been booked poorly. I'm not liking it at all. It's been the same scenario every week on iMPACT, and if I'm honest, I'm more intrigued biv make your decision spoilersy the Hamada/Flash rivalry. I hope we get to see a fantastic Ayako/Alissa match at BFG.
- Nice to see Don West back. Dinero/Suicide feud is heating up. Sounds like an okay match.
- I'd like to thank God that Hernandez has reverted back to his old LAX attire. Super Mex's tight briefs were just a no-no. It's shaping up to be Hernandez vs. Eric Young at BFG. Should be a great match and I hope it's not a squash match (see No Surrender '09).
- Homicide dressed up as Suicide? I can't wait to see that!
- I'm praying that Mick Foley/Abyss feud goes way past Bound for Glory. Their feud is getting more and more interesting by the week. There's only one think I don't like about this program. Why are Daffney and Dr. Stevie involved? They should just put their storyline to rest and let Foley and Abyss go at it by themselves.
- Sounds like an awesome match. Hamada is awesome. And so is Flash! As I said before, their feud is more exciting than Kong vs. Tara. Can't wait to see the Moonsault through the table on iMPACT!
- Not too excited for this match. First off, I thought Team 3D were feuding with Rhino? And what happened to the Lashley/Joe feud? TNA confuses me sometimes with their booking of storylines.
- This sounds like a great match. Angle and AJ both have alot of chemistry and I can't wait to see twenty minutes of two of the best performers in the world. And Styles ignoring Sting as he came down for the save? This program just hit another level!
Thanks for the spoilers!
TNA is so much better than WWE. Only a TRUE wrestling fan would know that. But, sadly, there are idiots who are easily fooled by hype,There is substantially MUCH more wrestling in one weekly TNA show than all FOUR weekly WWE shows combined. I love WWE and WWE has more money, but TNA has more talent.
Thanks for the spoilers. I really wanna see the Aj styles Vs Kurt angle match if it got rave revviews
You Do Know TNA Sucks, Right? There Is No Hope In TNA. They Will Be Bankrupt Soon. WWE-ROH, Even AAA Own TNA. TNA Is Garboli. Just Give Up.
Wow. You Are Using WWE On Me. What Bout ROH And AAA And CMLL. Talk Bout Them. Just Cuz TNA Will Never Touch The WWE You Dont Have To Be Butt Hurt About It. IDK Y U Keep Defending A Broke Company That Takes Shots At Another(WWE) And WWE Just Brushes Them Off. TNA Is Garbage. Get It Through Your Little 10 Yr Old Skull.
Sounds good. thanks for the spoilers
Thanks bro...
