Impact 1.10.08:

- The Motor City Machineguns defeated Senshi & Elix Skipper.

- Judas Mesias defeated Chris Harris.

- Petey Williams & Sonjay Dutt defeated VKM. Scott Steiner came out during the match and switched briefcases with Petey. Petey abandoned Dutt because of it, but Dutt scored the pin after VKM had a disagreement.

- An announced match between Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks did not take place as Jim Cornette wouldn't allow it. Cornette threatened to suspend Roode, but then said he wouldn't because he wanted to give Booker T a chance to get revenge. Brooks was attacked by Roode's "number one fan."

- LAX defeated Jimmy Rave and Lance Hoyt.

- Kurt and Karen Angle has a coronation ceremony, naming AJ Styles their "Prince." Christian Cage comes out to break things up, as does Samoa Joe.

- Awesome Kong defeated Gail Kim to become the new TNA Women's Champion.

Little more detailed spoilers

-Motor City Machineguns defeated. Elix Skipper and Senshi. Not that long of a match it was back and forth, ending saw Motor City win after a flurry of double team moves and pinning Senshi. After the match Christian Cage came out and threw Skipper and Senshi out the ring and said he was going to get payback on AJ for costing him the title.

-They aired a backstage promo with Crystal trying to get a word with Robert Roode. He said he wasn't sorry for what happened to Sharmell and that it was Booker's fault for not protecting her. He then announced he would be facing Ms. Brooks later in the show.

-Judas Mesias defeated Wildcat Chris Harris. Again it wasn't that long of a match and Judas got the win after he spit mist in Wildcat's face and hit his finisher.

- Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt defeated. VKM w/ Roxxi. During the match Scott Steiner made his way to the ring and switched his briefcase with Petey's. Petey tagged out and he noticed that his briefcase had been switched and left to the back. That left Sonjay alone, but they were teasing tension between VKM all match and Sonjay rolled up BG for the pin. Sonjay celebrated and I believe kissed So Cal Val again. After the match Kip got on the mic and told BG that next week he better have an answer to him as to who his partner is going to be.

-Robert Roode vs. Ms. Brooks never happened. Robert came down with a mic and was tearing down Ms. Brooks and said he was firing her. Ms. Brooks came out crying and said she was terrified after she saw what he did to Sharmell. Jim Cornette makes his way to the ring and yells at Robert not to lay a hand on Brooks. He thought about suspending and even firing Roode, but he's not going to do that because he wants to allow Booker T a shot at revenge. Cornette ran down Roode and his abuse of Ms. Brooks. Cornette told Ms. Brooks not to worry and to go backstage where security will escort her out the building away from Roode. As she was exiting up the ramp, Roode's "number 1 fan" attacked her from behind. She hit her with a chair and I believe Roode announced her as Ms. Banks. Roode and Banks retreated when Matt Morgan came out.

- TNA Tag champ Tomko defeated Shark Boy. Total squash for Tomko. They brung a stretcher in the ring afterwards to sell all of Shark Boy's injuries.

-LAX with the incredibly hot Shelley Martinez Def. Rock and Rave Infection (no Hemme). Homicide pinned Jimmy Rave after a gringo killer.

-Angles in-ring coronation of AJ Styles naming him the prince. JB, Angle, AJ were all in Tuxedos. Christian cage comes out to the top of the heel ramp and starts running down AJ and Angle. He says he had Angle beat and deserves a rematch and AJ says he can take him. As they go back and forth, Samoa Joe's music hits and he makes his way to the top of the face ramp. Joe tells Angle that he wants a title match and he is going to get it. Christian tells Joe they never agree on anything but he agrees they should both go down to the ring and beat up AJ and Angle. Jim Cornette interrupts and he says that no one makes matches around here except for him. He announces on next week's episode there will be a 3 way match between AJ Styles Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Christian Cage, and the winner would be the number one contender. However, if AJ wins, he can either use the title shot or he can use it to give Angle 2 months off of no titles defenses until Lockdown.

-They did a segment twice so I guess they re-taped it, Team 3D and Johnny Devine come to the ring and cut a promo about how great they are and how they beat the X-Division at their own game. They then challenge Black Machismo and Motor City to a Hardcore Street Fight at Against all Odds. If they win then the X-division must cease to exist..

-Main Event: TNA Knockout Championship- Awesome Kong defeated Gail Kim to win the title. JB did the introductions to the match. There was a lady who accompanied Kong to the ring but she was all wrapped up like a lady from the Middle East. I did not get to see the PPV match but this wasn't really long but it did have some spots such as them brawling outside the ring and Kong crashing through a part of wood. Finish saw Kong win with the sit out powerbomb.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Actually, iMPACT! does not sound half-bad this week. I mean, there are flaws with the broadcast:

* What happened with Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash?

* Having The LAX and Rock n' Rave Infection fight immediately after their PPV match, with Christy Hemme being absent, is not the best move, in my opinion. Should be a good match, though.

* Even if Jay Lethal & The Motor City Machine Guns win at Against All Odds, the division still looks weak because it almost got destroyed. Three men do not a division make, and three men should not be able to kill a division. The only acceptable outcome to this match, is the X-Division pouring out (including Scott Steiner), and killing the heels dead. Either that or just give the X-Division a mercy killing and get yourself a standard secondary title.

* The Three-Way is Russo, but not as bad as it could be. The winner could choose between a title shot, a briefcase with either a $100,000 or just $100, a night with Karen Angle, new theme music, or the right to make one match of their choice; the loser wears a cupid costume. I think they are blowing this on free TV, though. They should do this at Against All Odds, and have Kurt Angle defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against a Japanese talent.

Apart from that, everything sounds pretty passable. The Three-Way is still a bit Ru

[ddpBANG]

Remember that time Senshi quit? Yeah... What happened to that?


Also... A women's match as the main event? :wtf:

[Impact!]

Imo the Triple Threat Match is pretty cool. Either way it should be a good storyline.

- If Christian wins, another match between Cage and Angle is going to be great. And that will probably leave Samoa Joe facing AJ Styles, which I don't think they've done in a while. (They also can deliver a solid match)

- If Joe wins, it's a continuation of the Joe V Angle fued, and that's not a bad thing. On top of that there's the fact that both Angle & Joe have problems with Kevin Nash, So it helps continue both those stories if Nash gets involved (Not in the match, unless it's as special guest referee, or special guest ring announcer/time keeper...something that gives the illusion of him being able to interfere or screw someone over without anything to physical)

- And lastly if AJ wins, it can have some great tension between AJ and Angle with Angle pressuring AJ into giving him the time off. (It would hopefully have AJ choosing to take on his "mentor/best friend", bringing TNA's first home grown main eventer back into the ME)

So yeah, I think it sounds pretty good.

Also while I'm talking about TNA, imo it's actually starting to become quite entertaining. Sure there is alot of problems still, but they seem to be on the right track.

Motor City Machine Guns & Jay Lethal V Team 3D and Devine imo has been pretty good (besides that whole Ownership of the title crap). If they finish it like Noid said with the whole X-Division coming out and beating the living hell out of 3D (spots galore) then I think it will be a good ending.

The Robert Roode/Booker T fued has been really good, and imo the way they've handled Booker has been great. Instead of throwing him into the ME and taking away spots from the TNA guys, he's been put into a fued with a very solid up and comer. Which imo is what they should have done with alot of guys.

BG James should choose to give his tag title shot to someone else and then retire :shifty:

Oh and hopefully the Kaz V Black Reign fued is over, since they did nothing on iMPACT.

(To DDPBang)

Senshi asked for his release, TNA are just jobbing him out before they let him go. Smart move (although I would much rather Senshi stay as I :love: Senshi)

Smart move by TNA, since the Woman's matches have been their highest rated parts of the show. Shows they are somewhat listening to the audience. Also it's smart booking (match wise) Since Gail Kim would still be worn out from their PPV match, and Kong going over in their second match in a number of days doesn't take away her credibility.

(To DDPBang)
(To Impact!)

They have this really cool thing on here called the "Quote" feature.

Why is jobbing him out a smart move? It doesn't do anything but show that TNA doesn't treat their talent well. It doesn't make Senshi looks any less credible. This IS wrestling, you know? Winning doesn't matter... it's a fake sport.

I understand their booking of the match. I have no problem with that.

The fact that they put a women's match on last just shows that they can't book a promotion properly. They can't book their top stars. This isn't a women's only promotion. Their stars are mostly men. They're the ones that are supposed to be drawing ratings. The women's matches shouldn't be the top draw, even if it is a good product.

----

I guess what I'm trying to say is, TNA shouldn't be BLINDINGLY obvious in showing their flaws.

[ddpBANG]

Word

[Impact!]

Before I read what you said, suck a dick. I was lazy.

[Impact!]

The burying of Senshi isn't great I know, but it is smart (for TNA). It's a way of saying fuck you to Senshi, who has now left them twice after a fairly solid push. And actually winning does matter, otherwise HHH wouldn't be where he is, and Funaki wouldn't be where he is (ok yes that last part is overkill Noid style, but still I'm sticking with it).

And the womans match probably shouldn't be last, BUT for one week it's really not going to matter. It's also probably TNA's way of saying thanks for the ratings boost

Tell me you're not serious. It doesn't hurt Senshi one bit. Winning and losing DOESN'T matter.

The whole HHH/Funaki thing is just stupid. They're not in the positions they're in because they can win a match or not. It's about whether they can connect with the fans, and their talent levels. It's about gimmicks.

Maybe HHH is where he's at TODAY because he boned the Boss' daughter... But you gotta remember, HHH had the opportunity to lay down and die after the whole "MSG Clique Incident." Did he? No, he busted his ass day in and day out in shitty matches while getting buried. Boning the boss' daughter isn't what got him out of that. Finding a gimmick that worked did. He was boning Chyna while he was on his way to the top.


And the womans match probably shouldn't be last, BUT for one week it's really not going to matter. It's also probably TNA's way of saying thanks for the ratings boost

Good on the Women. They're doing well. You wanna give them props? Put them on at the end of the first hour or second to last on the card. They don't need the main event.

[Impact!]

I never said it hurt Senshi, it's helping other people get wins. That's all.

No shit, that would be why I said it's overkill. Let's not take this to seriously. I was just having a poke at your "Winning and losing doesn't matter" line.

Once again, was just having abit of fun. Triple H is where he's at because of hard work (inside the ring, and inside SML's pussy)

Good on the Women. They're doing well. You wanna give them props? Put them on at the end of the first hour or second to last on the card. They don't need the main event.

Then I ask you, what match on that show should have Main Evented. TNA's top guys didn't wrestle, so who would you have put? Out of all the matches, they chose to put the top drawing match in the ME. Makes sense to me (It realistically shouldn't be the ME BUT out of the matches they had on offer, it does make sense)

That's my point. They didn't have their top guys out there. Bad booking. :roll:

For what they had, yeah, that might be the best match. It shouldn't be all they have, though.

[Impact!]

Oh I agree with that. There's no argueing that, my whole point though is that with what they had, they at least chose the right match.

They definetly should have had a bigger ME though

[Hanso Amore]

I read on 24wrestling that Senshi is still on his way out. He askd to be released but it wasnt an immediate thing, he just wanted out, and even offered to job out on his way to put other guys over.

So its actually not a bad thing, its him being good to TNA. He sort of said "look, I want to do something else, and Im willing to help you get guys over."

[Hanso Amore]

Oh I agree with that. There's no argueing that, my whole point though is that with what they had, they at least chose the right match.

They definetly should have had a bigger ME though

it makes it look big when the title match is the main event, shows its a real title. When was the last time the wwe put a non world title up i nthe main event?

I dont mind it, just surprised me.

VKM need to break up and retire, and then this should be the end for team 3D.

Once its over, have the MCMG vs LAX for number on contender while AJ does his thing, then winner faces the champs. TNA has an amazing tag division. Rock and Rave are gay but they are ok to job out to everyone. If they bring in Swinger and Mercury, they could add something new.

Booker/Roode is great, Roode is on his way to the ME. KAz has taken a step back vs Black Reign (another who should retire)

TNA has put out alot of shit lately, but Angle and his opponents have been booked well lately. IT makes me forget about the clusterfuck gimmick matches.

[owenbrown]

What, no script for this week? :shifty:

[Innovator]

Senshi is out of his contract, but is working on a per appearance deal now. He already came back at Low Ki at PWG.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why is jobbing him out a smart move? It doesn't do anything but show that TNA doesn't treat their talent well. It doesn't make Senshi looks any less credible. This IS wrestling, you know? Winning doesn't matter... it's a fake sport.

Senshi asked to put people over on his way out. I don't see what the big problem is. He should be getting jobbed out a little harder, but when I see Senshi & Elix Skipper vs. The Motor City Machine Guns on paper, I kind of hope there is a bit of a match.


I understand their booking of the match. I have no problem with that.

The fact that they put a women's match on last just shows that they can't book a promotion properly. They can't book their top stars. This isn't a women's only promotion. Their stars are mostly men. They're the ones that are supposed to be drawing ratings. The women's matches shouldn't be the top draw, even if it is a good product.

As Impact! said, the women's wrestling has been the highest rated portion of the show. Awesome Kong has looked more phenomenal than most of their male performers. It was the only title match of the show, and a throwback to the days when TNA used to treat all their championships like attractions. What should have closed the show? The promo revealing the Three-Way? I'm not a big fan of closing promos.

And why shouldn't women's wrestling be the top draw? Awesome Kong, as aforementioned, is better than most of the male roster. Granted, you have males, but right now, women's wrestling is the biggest draw in TNA. Fact. It's bigger than Kurt Angle, bigger than Sting, bigger than Samoa Joe and bigger than Kevin Nash. Why can't it be that way when it so apparently is? Yes, if the other divisions were booked properly, it would be a different story, but right now, the women deserve to be the top folk.

It is also good for TNA, because it means that iMPACT! will probably close strong, which might lead to a higher lead-in for the next show, and TNA can put their hand up and say "we had a part in that," which makes Spike TV very happy with TNA.

Closing the show with Kim-Kong was one of the smartest things TNA has done in recent memory. I'm looking forward to YouTubing it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Who are the current champions?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Who are the current champions?

Kurt Angle is still TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

AJ Styles & Tomko are still TNA World Tag Team Champions.

Jay Lethal is still TNA X-Division Champion BUT Johnny Devine is in possession of the title belt (I believe).

Awesome Kong is the new TNA Knockout Champion.

[BigDaddyCool]

Well at least Kong is champion. AJ & Tomko are a better choice that Joe and Nash, though they need to move both AJ and Tomko into singles championships, and let all their crappy tag teams go after the belt.

Also, I still want to beat up Russo and Dixie Carter over the X-Division.

[Innovator]

Kurt Angle is still TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

AJ Styles & Tomko are still TNA World Tag Team Champions.

Jay Lethal is still TNA X-Division Champion BUT Johnny Devine is in possession of the title belt (I believe).

Awesome Kong is the new TNA Knockout Champion.
3D is in possession of the belt, holding it hostage

[Innovator]

Also it's a matter of time before the MCMG are the tag champs...but I said the same about Joe being the world champ about 2 years ago so who knows

[Mr. Nerfect]

3D is in possession of the belt, holding it hostage

I thought it might have been. Reading the storylines, it looked like Team 3D had it, then Johnny Devine had it, and now Team 3D has it again. Basically it's not where it's supposed to be, haha.

But slowly and steadily, TNA actually seems to be on the mend. I actually get good feelings from their taping this week. And believe it or not, I'm actually interested in seeing who BG James chooses as his tag team partner. It'd actually be pretty cool if it were someone who could wrestle. At least half the team would be good.

Come on Awesome Kong, with Kong then turning on BG and teaming with whoever TNA has her bringing in by her side facing Voodoo Kin Mafia to decide who gets to carry on as TNA Tag Team Champs. Then they can fire VKM as Kong reigns supreme.

[Innovator]

I'm for that as long as VKM is legit fired

[BigDaddyCool]

Come on Awesome Kong, with Kong then turning on BG and teaming with whoever TNA has her bringing in by her side facing Voodoo Kin Mafia to decide who gets to carry on as TNA Tag Team Champs. Then they can fire VKM as Kong reigns supreme.

Wait, what?

[Hanso Amore]

Im calling it now.

BG James brings in Sean Waltman

And I will never watch TV again.

[Fox]

So, they continue this stupid briefcase bullshit as well as continue to make AJ Styles play second fiddle to Angle and Cage.

At least they're showcasing their one good aspect: the women's title match.

[KingofOldSchool]

Xplosion Match: Judas Mesias defeated Elix Skipper.

- ODB defeated Angelina Love. After the match, she challenged Awesome Kong to a match at Against All Odds.

- The Motor City Machineguns & Jay Lethal came to the ring and accepted the challenge from Team 3D for a Hardcore Street Fight at Against All Odds. Team 3D interrupted and they all ended up brawling.

- Tomko defeated Eric Young. After the match, James Storm attacked Eric and tried to drink a beer with Tomko, but Tomko hit him.

- Kaz defeated Senshi. After the match, Black Reign attacked Kaz

-VKM comes out and Kip wants to know who BG's partner is. BG reveals it to be his father, Bullet Bob Armstrong. They all embrace and leave together.

- Abyss defeated Lance Hoyt. Jim Mitchell reveals Abyss' secret and it's that Mitchell is Abyss' father

-Robert Roode defeated Sonjay Dutt.

- In a three way elimination match, Christian defeated AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Joe was eliminated first after getting disqualified for getting caught with a chair that AJ used. Joe was mad and was arguing with Matt Morgan, but Kevin Nash came out and got Joe to calm down and leave. Christian then pinned AJ to win the match.

-Jay Lethal defeated Sonjay Dutt, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine and Petey Williams in a six-way match that they announced was being filmed for the TNA video game.

----------------------

Ummm didn't Abyss kill his "dad"?

[Hanso Amore]

Abyss shot his dad and put him in a coma.

This is gay.


WHY DO THEY FUKING KEEP BRINGING BACK BOB ARMSTRONG!

WHY WOULD YOU BURY YOUR GUYS TO A 70 YEAR OLD MAN!

First Impact, not bad, second impact, WHAT THE FUCK

[Impact!]

Ok everything I said about TNA improving just got shat on

[Impact!]

Although the Tomko match sounds awesome.

Gimme a beer Tomko (Lay me a beat Tomko)

No *Punch* (no)

[Skippord]

Technically Abyss' mother shot his father

Abyss just watched

[Fox]

So, "The Father" James Mitchell is the father of "The Monster" Abyss?

How thrilling and unexpected.

And wtf at them not giving AJ the push towards the main event. This highly discourages me.

[Innovator]

So they already ruined the built in feud of AJ vs. Christian...and now Joe vs. Nash? WHY IS JOE LETTING NASH CALM HIM DOWN?!

God my head hurts just reading the spoilers

[Innovator]

At least the women's division is good and Tomko is the shit
