TNA iMPACT! From the iMPACT! Zone
The show started off with Jay Lethal calling out for Sonjay Dutt to meet him at The Pink Taco.
Into the ring for the first match…
Booker T vs. BG James
As BG walks down high-fiving the fans Booker T jumped him from behind. He rammed his head into the guard rail, then the steel ring steps. Back in the ring BG tried to mount an offense, but Booker hit a heel kick to keep control. We then flashed to the back where Joe and JB are sitting and watching the match on a monitor. BG tried to fight back again, but Booker just kept dominating. He hit the Axe Kick and got the three count.
Winner: Booker T
In the back with JB and Samoa Joe. As Joe questioned JB as to why he thinks he can’t beat Booker in walks Kevin Nash. In the end it turns out that Joe convinced Nash to have a match with Booker T to show him next week, rather than just telling him things.
First Round World X Cup Match
Team International Davari & Tyson Dux vs. The Motor City Machine Guns
This match was not nearly as good as the Japanese team vs. the Guns last week. I think it was the fact that it was Davari and Dux and not two great Japanese wrestlers. Team International is a bit lacking in this tournament to say the least. Just cause a guy was in the WWE doesn’t mean he was good, they probably should have taken a pass on Davari. The match went back and forth quite a bit. It was so exciting that they interrupted the match by going to the back to show A.J. Styles attacking Tomko in the weight room, and then into a commercial. After the break… Sabin was being dominated, but got the tag to Shelley who came in with some fast-paced offense leading up to a Frog Splash and two-count. All four battled in the ring. Dux hung himself up on the Tree of Woe, those that watched will understand why I said he hung himself there. He climbed to top rope and Shelley pushed his foot out from under him. He didn’t land quite right on the turnbuckle, so when Shelley moved on to the next move on Davari, Dux had to swing his foot over the top rope, and then drop back. Even with the cameras trying to get away from him it was clear he did it all himself. He was then hit with a dropkick from both Shelley, and Sabin. Shelley hit Davari with a Tornado Reverse DDT, and then for the pin.
Winners: Team TNA – The Motor City Machine Guns
Then we go outside to the dark parking lot where A.J. is jumping someone that looks like Kurt Angle. It turns out that it was Frank Trigg, and not Angle.
Next was a video package chronicling Gail Kim’s career. Followed by an interview with Karen Angle from her home in Pittsburgh which ended with her storming off after saying she’d be in Orlando next week.
Then we head to the ring for Jim Cornette to announce a special challenge that was made by LAX. They want to have a Fan’s Revenge Match against Robert Roode and James Storm. Some might remember the last one TNA had with Jeff Jarret. Twelve TNA fans will surround the ring and be given leather straps. They will act as lumberjacks, and when someone comes out of the ring they can whip away. After Hector signs the contract for LAX, they call out Roode and Storm. Instead, out came Jackie, her and Salinas almost got into it before Cornette stopped them and made a match for later in the night.
After the break…
The Awesome Kong $25,000 Fan Challenge
Kong chooses a blonde named Taylor. Taylor hit her a few times before she even got over the guard rail. Once over she got into the ring and ran a bit, avoiding contact with Kong. Kong eventually got a hold of her and went for the Awesome Bomb, but Taylor escaped by going through her legs. She hit a dropkick, and then charged in, but Kong leveled her with a tackle. Raisha Sayid then handed Kong a chair, as she turned around Taylor dropkicked the chair into Kong. She then hit Kong across the back with the chair three times before the ref took the chair away. She hit another dropkick, went to the top rope and came off with a missle dropkick into a two-count. Kong rolled out to the floor, and Taylor went to the top rope again to launch herself out on top of Kong. Kong caught her and rammed her into the steel ring post, then stood her in front of the post and tried to hit a roundhouse punch, Taylor moved and Kong punched the post. She hit a couple punches and then charged in, but Kong knocked her down with a clothesline. Rolled back into the ring, Kong went for the Bomb again, but Taylor got out of it again. She kicked her in the face, then hit the ropes and tried for a hurricanrana, but instead Kong lifted her up and hit the Awesome Bomb and got the three count.
Winner: Awesome Kong
To the back again, this time to see Rhino laying on the ground crashed through a table with Team 3D standing over him celebrating. Rhino was to be Christian Cage’s partner in the main event match against Team 3D.
Back from the break…
JB is in the back with Sonjay Dutt who is now heading over to The Pink Taco.
Next up a Challenge Match…
Kaz vs. Alex Koslov
As can be expected this match was filled with fast-paced action. Kaz was on the ring apron when Koslov hit a kick to the back of Kaz’s head which sent him to the floor. Koslov then springboarded himself to the outside and got very high off the top rope crashing down onto Kaz. The match then went back and forth some more. Koslov put a move on Kaz that Mike Tenay called the Perestroyka. It was basically a surfboard type maneuver done with Kaz inside the ring, and Koslov outside on the ring apron, hanging off for more leverage. Soon after Kaz would put Koslov on the top turnbuckle, Koslov fought back with a couple elbows, and shoved him down to the mat. As Koslov launched himself off the top rope Kaz was charging in and ducked. Koslov then hit a kick to the back of Kaz’s head, and went for a springboard splash, but Kaz moved. Kaz then hit the Wave of the Future and got the three count.
Winner: Kaz
To the back with JB and Christian Cage to talk about what he will do since Rhino can’t wrestle. Cage said, “When people like you see a problem, I see a phenomenal opportunity.”
Next up is another video segment of Rough-Cut with Matt Morgan. He talked about his childhood and high school basketball career. He signed a letter of content with Monmouth College in New Jersey so that he would be a started in his first season. He then points out that he was chosen for the McDonald’s All-Star Game, which is a game for high school seniors. He didn’t get to play though, mostly due to the fact that some of his teammates were very, very good. His teammates names, Vnce Carter, Stephon Marbury, and Kevin Garnett.
Then we head back to The Pink Taco. Dutt tries to apologize. It doesn’t work, and they start fighting on the stage. Lethal choked him with a cord, then dropped an elbow on him. He then started throwing everything in the place at him. It ended with Lethal spearing Dutt “right through the door”. The door was just some of that sheet metal that can be seen hanging all around the iMPACT! Zone.
After the break…
Jacqueline vs. Salinas
Salinas was controlling the match early, but then went to the top rope for a flying cross body block, but Jackie moved. She then took over with kicks and punches, flung her across the ring by her hair. Then she threw her out of the ring to the floor, and whipped her into the guard rail. Threw her back in the ring, hit a T-Bone Suplex. Salinas managed to get Jackie up on her shoulders, and hit her with an electric chair move. She then connected with a couple of clotheslines, and got a near fall. Jackie turned it around with a DDT, and then slapped on a submission choke hold which got Salinas to tap out quickly.
Winner via submission: Jackie
Jackie then took out a belt and whipped Salinas repeatedly, and also got in a shot on referee Slick Johnson.
After the break…
Christian Cage & A.J. Styles vs. Team 3D
Cage and Styles met Team 3D halfway down the ramp, and they fought outside the ring a bit. Brother Ray and A.J. finally got in the ring so that match could start. They fought back and forth for awhile. 3D hit the What’s Up move on A.J. and then went out for a table, as they were approaching te ring with it Cage dropkicked it, sending Team 3d to the floor. A.J. then catapulted himself off of Christian’s back, over the top rope and down onto Team 3D. After the break… A.J. gets hit by a neckbreaker off the top rope by both members of Team 3D. Team 3D was firmly in control, they whipped A.J. into the corner followed by Ray whipping Devon in after him. A.J. moved and Devon crashed into the corner, kicked Ray in the head and got the tag to Cage. Cage hit a double clothesline, and then went for the Unprettier, but Devon blocked it. Cage countered and drove Devon’s head into the mat, and got a near fall. He then whipped Devon into the corner, and as Ray charged in to get him, he moved, sending Ray crashing into Devon. Ray and Devon hit a reversed 3D,but then A.J. made a blind tag. He springboarded into the ring with a flying forearm that hit Devon. HE then went over and knocked Ray off the apron, and slammed Devon down. A.J. and Christian went to the top rope and came down on Devon with a double headbutt. Ray was back in on time to break up a pin. A.J. was picked up on Ray’s shoulders and devon climbed the ropes, they hit the Doomsday. A.J. kicked out of a pin. Ray then climbed to the second rope and was about to jump down onto A.J., but Cage came over and delivered a lowblow, followed by a hurricanrana from the top rope. Devon hit a Deathdrop on Cage, then Ray blocked a flying forearm from Styles. They were waiting for Styles to get up so they could hit the 3D, but instead Styles connected with the Pele kick to Devon’s head. A.J. then shoved Ray into the ropes while Cage pulled the top rope down, sending him crashing to the floor. A.J. springboarded into an inverted DDT, followed by a three count.
Winners: Christian Cage & A.J. Styles
Out came Frank Trigg who was earlier beaten on by A.J. because he thought it was Kurt Angle. As they argue Angle comes in from behind and attacks Styles, while Team 3D pulls Cage out of the ring. He then slapped on the Ankle Lock for a minute or two. The show ended here.
