TNA iMPACT!
Episode Title: Monster on the Loose
Hulk Hogan came out to start the show. He pointed out that the main event at the Victory Road PPV would now be a 4-way match for the TNA Title. Champion Rob Van Dam would be defending against Jeff Hardy, Abyss, and Mr. Anderson. As he moved on to address what Abyss did last week, out came Abyss. Abyss said that everything would change once “They” arrived. He said how they told him he doesn’t need the fans or Hogan anymore. Abyss then attacked Hogan and stuffed the Hall of Fame ring into his mouth. He also dumped out a bag full of broken glass. Out came RVD to put a stop to it. When Abyss got the upper hand out came Mr. Anderson. He hit Abyss with a chair a few times, but it had no affect. Hogan, RVD, and Anderson then left the ring. This all led to the main event match being Mr. Anderson vs. Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Velvet Skye vs. Angelina Love
This match ended the same way Angelina’s match with Lacey Von Erich ended last week. She DDT’d Velvet into a steel chair and left he laying in the ring. Velvet wins via disqualification.
Out next was Matt Morgan to call out Hernandez, but only because he knew Hernandez was in Mexico. After Morgan bad mouthed him a bit Homicide came out and attacked him from behind. Morgan beat him down in the end though.
Kazarian vs. Jay Lethal
Lethal kept his winning streak going by beating Kaz. While the match was going on however Ric Flair and A.J. Styles were in the back attacking Lethal’s brother who had come for a visit. While Lethal was celebrating Flair came on the screen to let him know what was going on in the back. Lethal took off looking for them in the back.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Sting
After Jarrett came to the ring Sting’s music began to play, but there was no Icon in sight. Then Sting was spotted up in the rafters. Jarrett went up after him. They fought as they came down the steps and headed back to the ring. As Jarrett had dragged him half way back to the ring the camera showed Sting was actually standing in the ring and the guy Jarrett was beating on really wasn’t Sting. Jarrett realized a bit too late and the real Sting came up behind him and put the bat across his throat. He then beat on him a bit with the bat. He left Jarrett laying in the ring, but not before saying “If you’re going to walk with them, you’re gonna go down with them.”
Apparently they want to up the time table as to when Kurt Angle will get a title shot. Instead of waiting to Victory Road to have #10 Kurt Angle face #9 Desmond Wolfe they are doing it tonight. At this rate it should give him his title shot at the August PPV. As long as he faces one a week and one at Victory Road.
Kurt Angle vs. Desmond Wolfe
Wolfe was too preoccupied with yelling at Chelsea throughout the match which gave Angle opening after opening to regain control of the match. Angle countered an attempt at the Tower of London and turned it into an Olympic Slam. He followed it up with the Ankle Lock to which Wolfe tapped out pretty quickly. As Angle took control at the end Chelsea got a big smirk on her face which turned to a huge smile when Wolfe tapped out.
Next out in the ring was X-Division Champion Doug Williams. He called Brian Kendrick out. Kendrick came out to explain their match at Victory Road. Apparently it is going to be an Ultimate X match, but it can also end by submission. Williams suggested they just walk away and conclude their affairs at Victory Road. Then Williams suddenly attacked, Kendrick saw it coming and reversed it and put the Cobra Clutch on Willaims.
After the commercial we go right to the back where we see Jesse Neal laying motionless while Shannon Moore is beating on Brother Ray. Security finally broke it up, but then out came Devon to pull security off of Ray. Devon then grabbed Ray and yelled at him a bit.
TNA Tag Team Tournament Finals
Beer Money (James Storm & Robert Roode) vs. Ink, Inc. (Jesse Neal & Shannon Moore)
Moore came out by himself since Neal was laid out in the back. Jesse would eventually make his way to the ring. Shortly after the match began Tommy Dreamer started walking through the crowd again. This time however he was not alone! Right behind him was a couple more familiar faces, Raven and Stevie Richards. Back to the in ring action…Beer Money hit the DUI and got the pin. They will now face The Motor City Machine Guns for the TNA Tag Team Titles at Victory Road.
Well if you ask me the “They” Abyss was referring to is probably Dreamer, Raven, Richards, and whatever else ECW talent they have convinced to come back to the ring. I am hoping and hoping Sabu is on the list. Balls Mahoney and Rhyno probably aren’t far behind. Taz keeps saying how Dreamer isn’t returning his calls, but I also hope that Taz gets in with the group, if only for support.
Interestingly enough Dreamer, Raven, and Richards were still sitting in the crowd for this next match.
Falls Count Anywhere Match
Abyss vs. Mr. Anderson
They used a chair and a Kendo Stick but didn’t go further than right outside the ring. Anderson went to the top rope to try for a Swanton Bomb, but Abyss got his knees up. Abyss hit a Shock Treatment backbreaker and got the pin. Abyss took Anderson up the entrance ramp to the stage. Once there he Chokeslammed Anderson off the stage. As Abyss stood there looking down on Mr. Anderson out came Hulk Hogan carrying a steel chair. It didn’t phase Abyss one bit. As he turned security came out to break it up really quickly.
Not a bad show really. Again, I can’t wait to see who else joins the ECW Reunion. Maybe Paul E. will even make an appearence.
