TNA Impact Report
Luckily for us Canadians, RDS is now going to be airing the new episodes of Impact.
But first, check out why AJ Styles is GOD in Jeremy Lambert’s column .
In the RDS studios, Marc Blondin and Pierre-Carl Ouellette introduce us to this week’s Impact edition. There’s a current angle going on between these announcers, so whatever.

Independent wrestling is talked about.
Samoa Joe vs Delirious: the latter is pretty crazy as he just runs around the ring a few times. This is basically a squash for Joe with Delicious barely getting any moves in. Notable moves are stiff knees, chops, kicks, an abdominal stretch and uppercuts. Finish comes when Joe hits a big move (a move which Silver King gave to Juvi at Fall Brawl’ 98) and ends with a choke for the tappout.

Chritopher Daniels vs Elix Skipper: Elix waits for Daniels next to the entrance and attacks him as he comes out. There is going to be a lot of moves in this match I don’t know, so I’ll call them BM. Whip into the railing by Elix. Rake by Daniels, beal by Elix. Back in, Daniels fights back with forearms. Elix comes back with a couple of suplexes (one belly to belly type and another butterfly). Elix with a couple of knee lifts, snapmare and kick to the back gets 2. Both men exchange forearms. Elix hits a BM to Daniels. Elix is in control and gets a 2 count after a dropkick. Both men outside, Daniels gets his head smashed on the apron. And again.

Skipper is still in control. Daniels finally has the advantage when he snaps Elix’s neck on the ropes. Beatings by Daniels. A side suplex gets a 2 count. Elix finally fights back with forearms. Whip by Elix, head put down, kick and BM by Daniels for 2. Suplex coming, no, Elix with a waistlock, Daniels with a huge number of elbows, off the ropes -> Elix hits a spinkick. Both men again exchange punches with Elix winning. Elix does a back body drop, a clothesline and a BM. Daniels leaves and Skipper puts him back in. Daniels tries again and Elix hits a twisting dive. Clothesline gets 2. Back & forth leads to Elix hitting a BM for 2. Out of the ring we go, back in the ring. Daniels hits the Flatliner, goes for a submission and Elix taps out! Chistopher Daniels is still TNA X champ.

The new TNA World champion Raven comes out. After all the crap he went through in his life, he has fulfilled his destiny. Raven is going to be TNA’s worst nightmare. Mitchell shows up and says that Raven thought he left him for dead, but Mitchell is alive and well. He says that revenge is a dish best served cold and the dinner is served. Abyss hits the ring and Raven sees it coming. Clothesline by Raven, but Abyss hits the Black Hole Slam. Abyss chokes Raven out with the chain and that’s the end of that.
We end it in the RDS studios.
