Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

Welcome to InsidePulse’s live coverage of TNA Impact! I am your host Jeremy Lambert wishing everyone a happy holiday and special Merry Christmas to Mark Neely who wished me a Merry Christmas on the blog that I haven’t post on since Summer. And before I start, I’ve had a little bit too much spiked egg nog, so bare with me.

We begin with a recap of last weeks war thingy.

Opening video

Here comes Santa with naughty elf Traci. OMG TRACI IS JUMPING UP AND DOWN!!!!! Nothing starts when…..CHRISTIAN MOTHER FUCKIN CAGE comes out. Christian wants to know if Santa forgot where he lived. He wants to know what he can do to look like the World Champ. Santa hands Christian a gift and Christian quickly opens it. IT’S WHITE PANTS JUST LIKE JEFF JARRETT! “Where did you find these 1985?” Christian rushes to put the pants on and stumbles around a bit, too much egg nog for him as well. Now Christian needs a catchy slogan. HE HAS A “DON’T PISS ME OFF” WWF SHIRT! “Don’t piss me off, wow, that’s money” HE HAS THE GLASSES AND THE WIG! “DOUBLE C!” CHANTS! Santa has to leave because he has things to do. A “Stuff her stocking” chant breaks out. SANTA GIVES CHRISTIAN A MINI GUITAR! “Is this what a World Heavyweight Champion is supossed to look like? Do I look like a complete jackass?” THE STRUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Here comes Brown and Jarrett. Christian ducks a double clothesline AND STRUTS!!!!!! before bailing to the outside.
