TNA Impact Report
Last week: DDP, NAO, JJ and Nash have their little brawl.
In the RDS studios, Marc Blondin and Michel Letourneur introduce us to this week’s Impact edition. They hype the Destination X PPV and as usual, insult each other. This week, Dusty Rhodes got some surprises and Blondin makes fun of his weight. It gets funny when Blondin comments on every big word that Letourneur says. He even writes one of them down. Anyway, AJ Styles defends his title. Then Letourneur gets a weird line on how AJ Styles does not like to be forced to defend his title.
Dusty Rhodes is with Traci and Trinity. He says that he wants to see him in the ring or he will be stripped of the title. Who was Dusty talking about? Later on, it was revealed that Dusty was talking about Jeff Jarrett.
Michael vs Chris Sabin: That’s right, only Michael. The announcers still refer to him as Michael

Back and forth they go, ending with a powerslam by Candido. Half hour suplex. Legdrop from the second rope. Whip, reverse and Candido is in the tree of woe. Williams steps on his crotch. Candido comes back with a slam and tag to Chase Stevens. Williams with a rake and tag to Mikey. Batts with a drokick for deux when Douglas stopped the count. Elix clotheslines Andy out of there. D’Amore distracts the referee as Williams is going for the Canadian Destroyer, but Andy stops him. What’s the point of the distraction; he’s not cheating. Batts is in now with stunner and an enziguri to Chase. Candido with a top rope headbutt to Batts. Chris puts Chase on top of Batts and that gets trrrrrrrrrois.

Well, Dusty wanted him. JJ talks to Dusty and it’s like JBL and Theodore Long. Dusty tried Randy Savage, Monty Brown and Kevin Nash to take the title off JJ, but it didn’t work. Jarrett starts to push Dusty, as well as take his hat off. Dusty pushes back and says “don’t you ever put your hands on me”. The beat down happens on DDP. Kevin Nash, Three Live Crew, Chris Candido and the Naturals show up and a huge brawl errupts. I love it!

We end it in the RDS studios. More hype for Destination X PPV as we have:
Jeff Jarrett vs DDP
AJ Styles vs 3 other men in an Ultimate X match (the announcers speculate on Sabin, Elix, Williams, Daniels and Candido)
Abyss vs Jeff Hardy in a falls count anywhere match
Kevin Nash vs The New Age Outlaw
Raven vs Dustin Rhodes in a bullrope match
It also looks like it will be Chris Candido and Naturals vs Three Live Crew.
I still don’t get the thing about AJ Styles not wanting to defend the title. A la prochaine!
