Welcome to Inside Pulse’s TNA IMPACT report! For those of you that read my SmackDown! reports, you know that I love TNA, I find it to be, at the moment, the better product. That being said, let’s get down to business.
*Note that I’m not doing this live, so the play by play will be a little off, sorry.
The first match of the evening is a six man tag team match that features The Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy and former NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Naturals taking on Current NWA World Tag Team Champions, America’s Most Wanted and NWA World Champion, The King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett.
AMW brings a table down to the ring that says “Reserved for Team 3D”. Jarrett attacks Hardy on the ramp as The Naturals attack the men who robbed them on their titles. Back and forth action, Jarrett on the outside, Hardy gives a Swanton to one of AMW, The Naturals go for The Natural Disaster, but AMW counters into a 3D through the table! Jarrett executes The Stroke on Hardy for the win.
Team Canada’s Bobby Roode and Scott D’Amore cut a promo backstage destroying Captain Charisma Christain Cage.
4 Live Kru members Konnan and Kip James vs ? (squash match) Since I don’t remember who they were fighting, I want to take the time to ask, Konnan, what’s with the shoe throwing?
Winners- 4 Live Kru
Christain Cage vs. Bobby Roode- Cage and Roode lock up as Cage goes for the Unprettier early on, but gets pushed. D’Amore hits Cage with a hockey stick, Roode gets two when the ref begins to argue with D’Amore. Cage goes to clothesline Roode, but hits the ref. Monty Brown attacks Cage, Cage throws out Brown, hits the Unprettier on Roode for the win. Brown comes back and hits two Pounces on Christain Cage.
Raven segment in which Zybysko is still trying to get Raven to sign the release papers, Raven refuses, Larry says he has a special surprise for him at Turning Point.
Back in the Ring, Mike Tenay is with Sonjay Dutt, Chris Sabin, and NWA TNA X Division champion, AJ Styles. He brings out Bobby Heenan and a coach and catcher from the world champion Chicago White Sox and they trade congrats and awards, interupted by Simond Diamond and the Diamonds in the Rough. Words are exchanged, a brawl breaks out.
Samoa Joe vs. The Amazing Red. This match was incredible, I love Joe’s finisher. Amazing Red takes a sick clothesline and Joe’s finisher. Samoa Joe then locks in a submission move and Red taps.
Abyss and James Mitchell are in the ring talking about this Sunday’s Barbwire Massacre match. James says that somehow, Sabu figured out that Abyss was afraid of Barbed Wire, but he told the monster the only way to overcome his fear was to confront it….Sabu is going to get fed to Mitchell’s wild dogs…The lights go out to sinal the arrival of Sabu, when they return, not only is Sabu in the ring, but the ropes have been turned to Barbed Wire!
Show Over.
Once again, sorry for the lack of coverage, if I ever have the oppritunity again, I’ll do it great justice!
