NEWS: |411M| The following report is from 411Mania with full credit going to Larry Csonka…

-We get highlights from last week.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

~BOOKER and the BOYZ SPEAK~
Team 3D comes to the ring, followed by Booker T to kick off the show. Ray says in this sport, guy like Booker and 3D are referred to as the bad guys, because they do bad things to good people, and they like it. Tomko is in the back, getting ready for his KOTM Qualifying match, and Angle is in Hollywood shooting his next project. So the three of them will be representing the bad guys. Are they really the bad guys, or is this guy? They lower a big picture of AJ Styles. It’s his giant trading card actually. They say that this is his new trading card, and say that this card is soon to be a collector’s item. Nobody can find AJ Styles right now. Ray asks if they are the bad guys, or is it AJ? AJ is a scumbag, a wife stealer, a home wrecker even! An Adulterer he says. Ray now stands on the picture and says AJ slept with Karen Angle while Kurt’s children were asleep in their beds. Are they bad? Or is AJ bad? AJ is as low as it gets he says.

Booker now says that he is ROYAL T. When he came to TNA he promised to bring his grace to TNA, and bring them prominence. He has done that already. In turn he was promised many things, and received nothing in return. He got a locker room that smelled of rodents, rodents that used it as a pissing playground. Is that any way to treat royalty? He will prove at the KOTM that he is the best and will make all of us bow down and kiss his royal feet. Especially Joe. Thank you all.

Devon now discusses Hector Guerrero and LAX, who comes to the ring with Salinas. Hector says they have talked enough. You can bloody and beat them down, but they will just keep coming back. Cornette said that at Slammiversary LAX will battle Team 3D. But why wait?

As they are about to come to the ring Christian Cage makes his way out to the ring, along with Rhino. Cage says he is sorry to stop LAX, but he has something to say. He asks Booker what he has been smoking and calls him Bob Marley! Cage says people won’t respect him for what he did in the past, and that embarrassed Booker. Cage doesn’t care that he is a 5-time WCW champion, because he is NOTHING around here until he becomes TNA World Champion. Speaking of that, Cage and Rhino will qualify for the KOTM match at Slammiversary.

Samoa Joe now comes to the ring as we enter old school ECW territory. Joe is in the crowd, because he’s a people’s champ. Joe now says they are all getting ahead of themselves. Joe tells Cage that he will win the KOTM match at Slammiversary. Like the people will tell you, they want a champion that kicks ass to keep the title. That makes no excuses. He’s talking to Booker. Booker, for everything you say and claim to be, when you look in Joe’s eyes, well, it is real easy to find him. Say what you got to say. He then calls Booker a punk ass bitch. And everyone already knows this. Joe says the time for talk is over, and tonight Cage, Rhino, LAX and he should put differences aside and beat them down for what they did to AJ. They then run off Booker and Team 3D.

AJ then comes out and takes out 3D with chair shots as Booker runs away.

-TO THE BACK with JB and Karen Angle. She is happy that AJ is ok, and she is glad that he is ok because she would have blamed herself. AJ apparently has something to say to her tonight, and she doesn’t know what it is.

-Tenay and West recap what just happened.

-TO THE BACK and Lauren is with Ace Young, who will sing at Machismo and Val’s Slammiversary wedding. Val is star struck. Lauren asks Machismo about last week and Dutt says then says tonight the Rock and Rave will get there’s tonight. Machismo says he is a little stressed and has pre-wedding jitters. Dutt says it is not too late. Young has a surprise for after the match.

-KONG is here and grabs Lauren by the hair. Kong will beat up another American from the crowd.

-Lord, Hermie Sadler is doing commentary.

The Rock and Rave Infection (Hoyt and Rave) vs. Sonjay Dutt and Black Machismo w/Val and Ace Young

Dutt and Rave to begin. Off the ropes, counters and a knee by Rave. Off the ropes again, crazy head scissors by Dutt. A tag to Hoyt and Machismo, Machismo escapes a press slam and gets jabs to Hoyt. Hoyt tosses him to the corner, Rave in and rights to Machismo. A hip toss and cartwheel by Machismo. Tag to Dutt, off the ropes and a boot and then Dutt and Machismo argue over some miscommunication, which allows Hoyt to come in and clean house. Double back elbows and a double elbow drop on Dutt gets 2. Hoyt tags in, chokes out Dutt in the corner, a big slam and a cover for 2. Dutt battles back, and counters a chokeslam into a RANA! Tags to Rave and Machismo, he goes to the apron, springs in with a missile dropkick on Rave. Hemme trips up Machismo, and Young trips up Hoyt. Machismo then rolls up Rave for the pin.

Winners: Dutt and Machismo @ 3:30 via pin

-Machismo then calls Dutt in the ring, and we head to a commercial.

-Back from commercial and Machismo and Dutt are still there, what did they do during the break? Machismo says he has been watching him and has something to ask him. There is only 10-days to the wedding, listen, I have seen it. I asked you last week to be my best man, so accept it now like a man! “WEEEL YEWWWW BEEEE MYYY BESTTTTT MANNN? YEAH!!” They shake. Ace Young then says they will have the bachelor party next week. They then show an Ace Young Video, starring Val and Machismo. Wow.

-Tenay and West discuss the KOTM Qualifying matches for tonight.

-TO THE BACK as the Beautiful People are with Lauren. They say they do these interviews and Lauren disrespects them. They then place a brown paper bag on her head and tell her to GET TO STEPPING! They promise to do this to all the wenches in TNA that disrespect them. They call Roxxi a hideous she-beast. It makes Love want to barf, which she only does when she wants to get under 95-lbs. Right. So Lauren is an idiot that didn’t see that coming and Love has an eating disorder. Tremendous.

Angelina Love w/Velvet Sky vs. Roxxi

Roxxi rushes the ring and goes to work on Love. Slams her to the corner, Irish whip and a back elbow connects. A clothesline and mounted right and lefts on Love. Roxxi slams her down, more rights and then chases Sky around the ring. Back in, but Love is back up and clotheslines her down. Love slams Roxxi’s head to the mat, to the corner and lays the boots to her. Irish whip, back elbow by Roxxi but Love back with the bicycle kick and a cover for 2. Love throws a fit, forearms to Roxxi now and off the ropes but Roxxi catches her with a fall away slam. Both ladies are down, work to their feet and Roxxi with clotheslines. Forearms now, Love is down. A big boot by Roxxi and a cover for 2. Roxxi nails Sky off of the apron, Roxxi rolls up Love for 2. Roxxi goes for the Voodoo Bomb, countered and Sky SPRAYS hair spray in her hair, and Love gets the flatliner for the win.

Winner: Angelina Love @ 3:30 via pin

-After the match they give Roxxi the brown back treatment as well and then lay the boots to her. ODB and Gail Kim on crutches make their way out and ODB takes a crutch and clears the ring, making the save.

-TO THE BACK as JB is with Cornette. Cornette blows his load over the fact that JB took part in the Kong killing a fan deal. Cornette says he will not take the fall for it. JB tries to explain himself, and Cornette says he should have taken one for the team. JB shows him the rating from last week, which says it was the highest rated segment of the week (it wasn’t, it tied for the lowest segment of hour two with the Sting interview, which is bombing since it has been shown a few times already) and Cornette is pleased now. He speaks pig Latin, to keep it between them. Cornette says to make sure they sign releases. Booker and 3D are here, he complains about his locker room again and Cornette says it is good enough for everyone so it is good enough for Booker. Booker disagrees, but Cornette doesn’t care. Booker says he is taking over the office and dismisses Cornette. Ray then tells Cornette to do the right thing. Cornette says he has to go to the ring, and says when he comes back, they shouldn’t be there.

-Eric Young searches for Elvis.

~CORNETTE SPEAKS~
Jim Cornette is out to hype Slammiversary.
*The King of the Mountain TNA Title Match: Joe © vs. Roode vs. Booker vs. ??? vs. ???
*AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle
*TNA Tag Title Match: LAX © vs. Team 3D

As he is about to leave, Kevin Nash is out to the ring. He says he couldn’t hear what Cornette was saying, and says Cornette will do nothing to Booker and 3D. He makes fun of the security in TNA, and speculates that someone will take a dump on Cornette’s desk. Cornette asks what Nash is doing out here, and Nash says it is apparent that Cornette has lost control, and might want Nash’s help. Cornette says he knows Nash wants something in return, and Nash says he will take care of the three gentlemen, and in return Cornette will make Nash the special enforcer for the KOTM match at Slamiversary. Nash says it is all about business, and Cornette agrees. Nash says to ask him nicely, he does, and Nash says it would be an honor.

-MORE DISTURBING FOOTAGE OF ABYSS AIRS. He can go home soon, he is still disturbed, he is no longer a danger to himself and such.

-Kong, Saeed and JB are out for the next KONG CHALLENGE! During the commercial they picked a victim.

Awesome Kong’s $25,000 Open Challenge: Awesome Kong vs. Victim

Kong chases the Victim around, grabs her ad tosses her down. Kong grabs her by the hair, knees her and then connects with a right. The Victim runs to the floor, Kong chases and drags her back to the ring by the hair. Kong tosses her back into the ring, lays the boots to her and then more rights connect. Knees by Kong, KONG BOMB KILLS HER! That is all. That looked like it hurt, badly.

Winner: Awesome Kong @ 2:20 via pin

-TO THE BACK and JB is with Booker and Team 3D. Nash walks in and Booker says they are having a meeting. Nash says it will be easy on everyone if they hit the bricks. Devon says there are three of them and one of him. Nash says Louie is with him, Louisville Slugger. He clears them out, and says it is nothing personal, just business.

King of the Mountain Qualifying Match: James Storm vs. Rhino

We come back from commercial and they are brawling out to the ring. Lots of brawling, Rhino suplexes Storm onto the ramp and chases Jackie away.

Rhino escapes, battles back and shoots Storm off of the ropes, reversal and Storm with an Enziguri, a knee buster and then a neck breaker for 2. Storm now chokes him out over the ropes, Jackie lays in some forearms and we head to a commercial @ 3:40.

Rhino sets for the gore, Storm sidesteps him and gets the last call, but Rhino rolls to the floor. Jackie and Storm rolls Rhino back into the ring, Storm follows and covers for 2. Storm sets for another last call, Rhino ducks and then GORES STORM INSIDE OUT for the win. Storm sells it like a champ, he is the man.

-Kurt Angle made record time from Hollywood and walks in the back.

~AJ and Karen~
Karen comes to the ring and has a mic. AJ’s music hits, but he doesn’t come out because Kurt Angle is beating the shit out of him. They brawl backstage, Kurt wins.

Kurt comes to the ring now and asks if Karen was expecting AJ. He won’t hurt her, but the world needs to know that she ruined their marriage. Kurt wants her to admit that she cheated like a prostitute. He calls her a whore, and she slaps him. AJ now rushes out and attacks Kurt before he can do anything to Karen. AJ is kicking his ass, but Team 3D, Booker and Tomko all hit the ring. They essentially prison rape AJ in the middle of the ring, ankle lock by Angle as Tomko beats on him but here comes Christian Cage. Numbers game, heel beat down. Angle kicks AJ’s ass some more, Booker with a superkick to Cage as he was being held up. It’s 5 on 2, where is Rhino’s punk ass? What about Joe? Booker with an ax kick on Cage. So, AJ, now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

-End scene…

Next Stop TNA

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.26.08 under TNA Wrestling Blog

NEWS: |TNAWN| Bobby Lashley returned to the ring as he debuted for Booker T’s promotion PWA. Lashley beat Jared Steele and was said to be in good shape and put on a good match.


It’s very F’d up that Lashley left WWE based, supposedly, on the racist backstage atmosphere, but I’m still opposed to him coming in. Not as much as the Ultimate Warrior, but still enough to say no to Lashley.

Though he hasn’t officially signed with TNA, it looks like things are headed that way.

~JOE’S FABULOUS FOUR~
Joe and Nash make their way to the ring. Joe says tonight he gives us his four picks for the KOTM qualifying tournament. He and Kevin picked the baddest and the best. The first man is someone he fought all around the world. Some call him the best, Joe says he is close. AJ Styles is the first man. His 2nd and 3rd choices are easy picks, former champions at that. Rhino and Christian Cage. The 4th pick is someone that dominated, a world champion everywhere he has been, and quite possibly one of the greatest ever. He picks Booker T. Nash doesn’t look to be happy. Joe says that if Booker can make it to Slammiversary, he will find Joe waiting for him. Nash has the mic and asks what the hell is up. How could he watch his back if he isn’t in the match. Joe says the people pay to see people get beat up, not for someone to watch his back. Nash says he has been a champ for 2-months and apparently knows everything already. Nash says Joe didn’t do what he was told. When that doesn’t happen, the machine breaks down. And when that happens, they break down. Nash leaves, a sad, sad, panda.

-TO THE BACK and JB is with Angle and Trigg. He is excited, especially since Trigg is here. They go and piss, and talk about going out for beers. Trigg says he should spend time with Karen. Angle then says she has to clean the house, do the laundry and mow the lawn. They joke on JB and that’s that.

-Last week Machismo asked Val to marry him and she accepted. Lauren is with them and Dutt. They are happy. The Rock and Rave Infection is going to audition to be their wedding band. Machismo, “I hear a piano but I don’t see one!” They bust Hemme for lip-synching, and Dutt puts their fake guitars as well. Dutt apparently hired an American Idol finalist, and he will be here next week. Ace Young they say. The Rock and Rave attack them.

-MORE DISTURBING VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM ABYSS airs. He discusses torture and such. His name is Chris Parks, but he will always be Abyss. Apparently he is all cured, but he says he is not all better. He will go home, because that is for the best. Back to Mitchell? Did Judas visit him?

-Lauren is with Roode. She says he has to give Cornette credit for giving him a chance. Roode says maybe it is time to smile. He then gets pissed and says it has taken Cornette forever to see his potential. Finally he gets a chance. Why? Because the powers that be realize that there is nothing they can do to keep him down. Congrats to Booker T, he now understands. You’re welcome. As for Matt Morgan, it is about brains. What qualifies Morgan to be in the ring with Roode? This may be Roode’s only shot, and he WILL be in the KOTM match and we will all find out that it pays to be Roode. Bank on it.

King of the Mountain Qualifying Match: Robert Roode vs. Matt Morgan

~ANGLE FAMILY MATTERS~
Kurt makes his way to the ring and says it is honor to welcome the most beautiful woman in the world, his wife, Mrs. Karen Angle. She has her own music and video. Kurt says she is beautiful and he thanks her for coming here tonight. The last 2months have been tough on her and he says she now knows her role and their priorities straight. Karen says is OFFENDED by this, and says Kurt doesn’t realize the stuff he is saying. Kurt says she watches Dr. Phil and gets caught up in the drama, he is who he is. Karen says it will never work, she came with hope to make it work but he took it away. She wants a divorce. Kurt says to not say the “D” word, and says he can change to be the man she wants. She has heard it too many times, and Kurt asks if she is seeing AJ. She says they are just friends, AJ has been there for her and understands. Kurt drops to a knee and begs her for a second chance, do it for the kids, for them and the family. She drops the mic and leaves him in the ring. Kurt promises he can change but she just walks away. “KAREN! KAAARRRREN!”

Tomko is there and says it was a few times too many. AJ says he has tried to contact him, but Tomko says AJ lost the titles. He is sick of Tomko, Kurt and everyone else. He will do what he wants, he is done and will do what he wants. Tomko says he respects AJ and he can be his own man, and do it on his own.

~STING INTERVIEW: PART II~
They discuss Jarrett’s personal issues. Sting says he has seen JJ a few times, and had brief conversations. They all miss JJ, and he doesn’t wish for anyone to go through what JJ has gone though with the loss of his wife. He remembers JJ when he was a little kid, and JJ has never seen anything like the Blade Runners when they met. Next week Sting discusses feuding with Flair and his recent retirement.

-JB is in the ring and there is a ladder and the ref has the title belt. He explains the KOTM match, and is about to announce the 2nd KOTM Qualifying match when KONG comes to the ring. JB tells Saeed he wants nothing to do with it, but she insists. She has a briefcase of cash with her. Saeed says to announce the challenge or he gets destroyed. JB asks if anyone wants to face Kong. You must be female and at least 18-years old. They find some chick (someone said she goes to Team 3D’s school) and he name is Melissa. She signs the release and we head to a commercial.

KONG’S $25,000 FAN CHALLENGE: Awesome Kong vs. Melissa the Victim

Melissa the Victim has her dukes up, tries to avoid Kong but that doesn’t work. Kong drags her around by her hair, lays the boots to her and calls her on. A big right by Kong, knees and then tosses her down again. Kong then shoulder tackles her…KONG BOMB KILLS THE BITCH and that is all. That looked nasty, that chick’s knees hit her in the face.

Winner: Awesome Kong @ 1:20 via pin

-Lauren is with Team 3D and they say they gave payback to LAX. They were screwed out of the tag titles thanks to Hector Guerrero. They do what they do best, beat people up and lave them in a poll of their own blood. They then say AJ should worry, because he faces Booker T tonight. Booker says he has been here 6-months, and he has gotten no respect. He is the most decorated champion in wrestling history. He is OFFENDED by his shitty locker room. As for why he is with 3D, there is no one else to be with. Tonight AJ becomes a steppingstone on his way to becoming King of the Mountain, because he is heir to the throne. He then bitches about his locker room again, and he is sick and tired of this. He tears some shit up and that’s that.

King of the Mountain Qualifying Match: AJ Styles vs. Booker T

AJ tossed his crown away, he’s a new man now. They circle a bit, lock up, to the corner and they break. Knees and strikes by Booker, AJ avoids the sidekick, to the corner and rights by AJ. An Irish whip, corner forearm by AJ connects. Another whip, misses this time and Booker levels him with a kick. A slam by Booker, mounted rights follow and Booker celebrates a bit. Booker into the chinlock now, AJ fights to his feet and elbows out. Rights follow, off the ropes and a leg lariat by Booker lays AJ out.

-King of the Mountain Match: Samoa Joe © vs. Robert Roode vs. Booker T vs. ???? vs. ???

-Tomko and AJ stand off now after the match, AJ shoves Tomko and we go to a commercial break. Fuck.

-Back from commercial and AJ and Tomko are brawling. Team 3D is out and AJ tries to fight them off, Booker in and finally the NUMBERS GAME GOT TO HIM. Thanks Don West. Tomko has a chain and blasts AJ with a chain wrapped right hand. The refs are cleared out and Booker chokes out Earl Hebner. AJ is busted open and they all take turns beating on him. AJ is a broken man. Karen runs out and covers up AJ. She begs off and then slaps Ray! Nice, her white shirt is covered with AJ’s blood, nice effect. Karen goes to the back as the AJ beating continues, and she returns with Kurt. Tomko is beating on AJ big time and wipes AJ’s blood on his chest. Angle has a chair and clears the ring as Karen covers up AJ. They tell Kurt to look, he does and he grabs Karen off of AJ. AJ struggles to make his feet as 3D, Booker and Tomko tell Angle to take it out on AJ. Angle them KILLS AJ with a baseball style swing of the chair. That was rather unprotected. Kurt says that this is all Karen’s fault as the show ends.

-End scene…

TNA Acquiring Respected Veteran

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.24.08 under TNA Wrestling Blog

RUMOR: |TNAWN| TNA has been in contact with the Ultimate Warrior. No deal has been reached and the status of the negotiations are unknown right now.


Please don’t bring in the Ultimate Warrior. How can this guy help TNA in the long run?

We won’t have anything to look forward to except 80’s wrestling, a lot of rope shaking and face paint. He’ll just waste money and complicate things backstage. Please don’t bring him in. Please.

Don West You Are the Worst

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.24.08 under TNA Wrestling Blog

|CA| I cannot stand Don West. I thought I was used to him and accepted his inferior commentary, but now it’s to the boiling point:

-Stop using the word “creamed” to describe the impact of a wrestling move. This past Thursday he used that word twice: First when Homicide got hit with the kendo stick and then right away when Booker T superkicked Hernandez. It’s such a stupid word to use because you’re cheapening the impact of the wrestling move and second you sound like a complete idiot when you say it. More than that it makes the wrestler doing the move look like an idiot too. And when Don West looks stupid, TNA looks stupid.

-Stop explaining what wrestlers are thinking and stop explaining why something does not work. West is not a wrestler so he shouldn’t be assuming why a high risk move does not work or why a wrestler got hit with a reverse elbow when he was just controlling the match. It’s so damn annoying to hear West explain something that does not need explaining let alone giving an explanation that’s usually wrong.

-But not all of this is West’s fault because he went from The Home Shopping Network to doing play-by-play for TNA. So this basically means he was awful before coming to TNA and he is still awful to this day. But this still makes Jerry & Jeff Jarrett ultimately responsible because they hired West and they decide how speaks on behalf of TNA.

Don West is the voice of TNA and he is making them look like amateurs, making them look foolish and making me watch iMPACT! on mute.

NEWS: |411M| The following report is from 411Mania with full credit going to Larry Csonka…

-We get highlights from Sacrifice.

-Joe and Nash walk.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

~THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH RETURNS~
TNA superstars are surrounding the ring, awaiting a special announcement from TNA Champion Samoa Joe; who now makes his way to the ring. Joe says he knows they are wondering why they are there. He is there to offer them a chance, a chance of a lifetime. At Slammiversary the King of the mountain match returns. He and four other men will compete for the TNA title. He feels he should get to pick the men, but Cornette will pick four men, he will pick four and they will have a tournament to see which four people get into the match. Cornette’s four men are: Robert Roode, James Storm, Tomko and Matt Morgan. They have never had their shot at the title, so unlike Cornette he will not give out charity. He is looking for tough sons of bitches that will kick ass and take names to win the belt. For his four, they will be announced next week. There is a reason, because tonight he scouts for bad asses. Be warned, if you think your bad and can beat him, you’re wrong. Joe proclaims to be an army of one.

Booker T, who was not out there, now arrives and looks to have something to say. He wants to know why he was not picked, since he is the most decorated champion in wrestling history. Cornette picked four guys who have never had a world title shot, and didn’t pick him. Booker says that is wrong. He says Joe isn’t ducking anyone, so why for six-months he hasn’t had any talk with Joe. Why does Joe run away like a little… he won’t say it, he doesn’t want trouble. But next week, if he isn’t picked, it will be consequences and repercussions, can you dig? Joe says he doesn’t give a damn and they brawl! Rhino and Cage jump Booker and toss him. Team 3D is now at Booker’s side and hold him back. Booker challenges the three of them to a match later on tonight, and he’ll find tag partners.

-TO THE BACK and JB is with Angle and Trigg. Trigg shakes with Angle and leaves, and JB apologizes for breaking that up. Angle says he is up for a while with the neck and JB then asks about AJ and Tomko. Angle doesn’t need to deal with it, and JB asks about Kurt asking for airtime. Kurt says he won’t be in the King of the Mountain he wants Karen and the kids to move back home and will read a speech tonight.

-Lauren is with Kaz, Dutt, Machismo and Val. Tonight they face Johnny Devine and The Rock N’ Rave Infection. Kaz discusses winning the Terror Dome and wrestling in the main event. 2008 will be his year. Machismo is pacing around and talking to himself and Dutt asks what’s up with him. Dutt is concerned and asks if he wants to pray. Machismo says he has big things to think about. He leaves.

Kaz, Black Machismo w/SoCal Val and Sonjay Dutt vs. Johnny Devine and The Rock N’ Rave Infection (Hoyt and Rave) w/Christy Hemme

Hoyt and Dutt to begin, and Hoyt just slams him to the corner tags Rave in and they work double teams, including a hip toss/shining wizard combo. Tag to Devine, chops to Dutt and an Irish whip and Dutt avoids Devine, springs in and tags Machismo Missile dropkick to Devine, jabs, hip toss, cartwheel and then gets distracted by Hemme. Devine gains control, snap suplex and then nails Dutt. Hoyt tags in, jabs by Machismo, off the ropes and a cross body, caught and Hoyt plays air guitar on his ass and gets the sack of shit slam, cover for 2. Machismo manages a tag, Dutt in and dropkicks Rave, flips out of a chokeslam and then gets a spinning tornado DDT for 2. Machismo in and he and Dutt double team Rave, Kaz tags in and levels Hoyt with a kick and gets the pin.

- Machismo calls Val into the ring, goes to his fanny pack and he has a ring. He drops to a knee and asks Val to marry him at Slammiversary. Val: “Ohhhh yeah!” They kiss and Dutt is NOT happy about this!

-Tenay and West jabber about Abyss. We get a video history about Abyss.

-We now get the DISTURBING video footage, which shows Abyss in a straight jacket in an asylum. No, no, not the Nashville asylum. Apparently you get cameras in Asylums now, if you behave. For months the padded walls have been his home. He has been treated like a lab rat, but he committed himself. He’s a masochist, because he loves pain and blood. The torture was never enough. He is almost cured, and he will be able to go home soon…hooray?

-Tenay and West discuss Sacrifice and TO THE BACK with Lauren, who is with Joe and Nash. Nash says there was no misunderstanding, and he was playing the mental game. He and Joe had to come to a common ground, and he thinks it is all good now. Joe now says he will reveal his picks next week. This week Booker is his focus. He respects Booker, but doesn’t like him. He knows Booker is trying to recapture the glory that Joe has. Booker wishes he could get back what he once had. Tonight, Booker will know Joe real well. Can you dig THAT, sucka?

-We get a video history for Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong.

~ANGLE FAMILY MATTERS or AS THE ANGLES TURN~
Kurt has BALLOONS! He’s a hopeless romantic. He says Karen left him and didn’t kick him out of the house. He has to do this right, so he needs our support. He wrote a letter, and asks for compassion, he hurt his neck in Korea. He puts the balloons down. “Karen, my wife, till death, I know you at your mother’s watching, and you’re miserable without me. I apologize for that. But Karen, I am giving you the chance to come back to me where you belong. You feel neglected, but Karen, you just need to get your priorities straight. If you understand the title is first, medals second, kids third, and you fourth, well tied for third, then everything will be ok. You know I am not good at this, I am wearing my best suit, and bought stupid balloons. Am I the romantic type? No, that’s for wussies. But I took the time to write the speech and am willing to be the bigger person and forgive you for your failures as a wife. Karen, it takes a man of his stature to come out here and do this, and I hope you appreciate it. I ask that you show up next week…” And he is cut off by commercial! And then they come back for 5 seconds, and it is gone again. Wow, that was bush league. Thanks SPIKE TV.

Angle Is Out, Tammy is Out and American Gladiators Gets a Real Wrestler

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.13.08 under TNA Wrestling Blog

NEWS/RUMOR: |WO|

Angle’s neck injury is putting him on the shelf for one month. The plan for Slammiversary was to have Angle vs AJ Styles, however those plans are up in the air at this point.

TNA was going to bring in Tammy Sytch aka Sunny. However TNA wrestlers reported a bad encounter with her at a recent wresting convention and now TNA has dropped the idea.

Matt Morgan will play “Beast” on American Gladiators. The show airs on NBC with hosts Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali.

Sacrifice Results (05.11.08)

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.12.08 under TNA Wrestling Blog

NEWS: |TNA| Sacrifice just wrapped up, here are the quick results from TNA by Bill Banks…

- Team 3D defeated Sting & James Storm in a Deuces Wild Quarterfinal
- Christian Cage & Rhino beat Booker T & Robert Roode in a Deuces Wild Quarterfinal. Booker T attacked Cage and Rhino after the bout.
- The Latin American Xchange beat Kip James & Matt Morgan in a Deuces Wild Quarterfinal
- AJ Styles & Super Eric defeated BG James & Awesome Kong in a Deuces Wild Quarterfinal
- Kaz won the first-ever TerrorDome match to become the #1 contender to the X Division Championship, as well as a shot at the World Title in the main event.
- Team 3D defeated Christian Cage and Rhino in the Deuces Wild Semifinal
- The Latin American Xchange beat AJ Styles & Eric Young in the Deuces Wild Semifinal
- Gail Kim won the TNA Knockout Makeover match, earning a Women’s Title shot. Roxxi Laveaux ended up getting her head shaved, thanks to interference by Angelina Love.
- The Latin American Xchange defeated Team 3D in the finals of the Deuces Wild Tournament to become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions
- Samoa Joe defeated Scott Steiner and Kaz in the main event to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship


The Kevin Nash swerve is pretty interesting. And it’s funny since that’s exactly what everyone has been talking about here.

Roxxi got her head shaved and Gail Kim won. Why is it that Gail gets built up only to lose later on. It’s been an endless cycle. The division does not solely rest on Kim’s shoulder’s anymore. And if Kim does not win the title then what was all this for?

This whole Angle injury raises a lot of questions. I guess these questions are mostly about TNA’s operations, but having their main eventer drop out prior to the PPV is just bad business. Should TNA allow their talent to perform in outside promotions? What if they get hurt just like Angle did? What if months of wrestling storylines rest on this PPV and then the wrestler gets injured? These are all questions that I’m sure TNA is thinking about.

-We get highlights of last week’s show.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

-Jim Cornette is in the ring with the tag titles. Last week he introduced us to the Egotistical Eight, and now this week he needs to clear some things up. He brings them out: James Storm w/Miss Jackie, Robert Roode, Sting, Booker T, BG James, Kip James, Matt Morgan and Awesome Kong w/Riesha Saeed. Cornette then says he explained things last week, however people keep calling him and bothering him about who will be paired with who. Sting was the only one not to call and complain. Out of the goodness of his heart, he will announce two of the teams for the tournament. This is a random draw and he is doing it as a favor to them. The first name is Sting. He heads to the ring and his partner will be James Storm. Storm says they aren’t friends and he wasn’t a Sting fan because his mother didn’t let him play with make up. They brawl and Sting runs him off. Cornette is pissed and says that the teams that get selected will have matches with each other. Sting and Storm will have a match later tonight and it will be a NO DQ match!

-JB is in the back and we see Rhaka Khan, Petey and Steiner arrive in a limo. JB asks him about the main event. Steiner says they will co-exist to take out Joe. Angle arrives and says they have an understanding, for one night. They will beat Joe so bad that he will have nothing left, and they will have a singles match for the title. Then they will kill each other. Steiner agrees and they shake.

-Tenay and West discuss the TERROR DOME, which will feature the X-Division. If I had to guess, it will feature these men: Black Machismo vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Curry Man vs. Johnny Devine vs. Shark Boy vs. Consequences Creed vs. Kaz vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley. And they conform this on commentary.

-Don West runs down some TNA live dates.

-We get an LAX video history.

-Tenay and West discuss the involvement of Hector Guerrero as well as the tournament as a whole.

-CRYSTAL (~!) is in Cornette’s office with all of the Knockouts that will be in the makeover battle royal. He says they all make more static than a $2 IPOD. But he isn’t mean, and he wants them to think of him as a father. He has made an immunity match tonight, and the winner of the match will be immune from the head shaving at Sacrifice. It is a POLE MATCH, he looks around the room and thinks many of them has experience with poles. HUZZAH~! He will put barber sheers on the pole, who ever gets it is immune. If you win the match tonight, but lose Sunday, the runner up gets their head shaved. This Sunday someone will get their head shaved.

-JB is with Rhino and Cage. JB says they are heavily favored to win the tag titles this Sunday. Cage says that he and Rhino have known each other half of their lives. They have worked together and beat each others asses. They have the advantage. Team 3D is here and they are OFFENDED. Cage makes weight jokes, and Ray says the math is that they have 20-tag title runs. Ray makes a mistake and Rhino corrects him. Ray says that they are the best tam of all time and that he has beat his ass for the last 10-years. Ray says Devon poked Cage’s wife 20-times and they brawl. Rhino and Ray both shop at Wal-Mart, I know, I have the same shorts. 3D takes control and LAX rush in and they clean house. BORDER TOSS TO CAGE INTO A WALL~! TO LIVE AND DIE IN LAX BITCHES! 5150!

-Crystal is with Joe and Nash. Nash is holding the belt again. Joe says he knows that Angle and Steiner have a plan, but he has one as well, his insurance policy, Nash. They better bring bats and pipes, because they will never take the belt from him, he will die before he gives it up. Tonight he doesn’t go into battle alone.

-JB is with Kip James. JB and Kip have a metro-sexual discussion about their outfits, and then Kip says no one is on the same planet as the MEGA STAR Kip James. He has taken three different partners to tag team gold. He made DX, not the redneck or glad to have a heartbeat kid, not Waltman (even though he likes him) or the big nose water spitting, you know who he means. Let’s talk about WWE some more Kip.

-Jim Cornette is out to announce the next random tag team. He brings out the six people left, and the next tag team is Matt Morgan and Kip James. YA TAG TEAMS THAT HATE EACH OTHER!

Awesome Kong is awesome, and he says bring her his way because it is the only way he will look good.

-Tenay and West run down the Sacrifice PPV, with the tag tournament, THE TERROR DOME, The knockout makeover battle royal ladder hair match and the three way for the TNA title.

-JB is with Steiner, Angle, Petey and Khan. Steiner says he doesn’t like Angle, but they have to work together to hurt Joe for their good and for the good of TNA, because Joe is a fat ass. Angle says he doesn’t know if Steiner can handle the plan. They argue and start to sing “anything you can do I can do better,” but Petey stops that and says that they argue because they are so similar, and that they only need 10 small minutes to get the job done. All they need is ten itty-bitty minutes, just ten teensy-weensy minutes.

-We get a video history of Joe vs. Steiner vs. Angle.

Petey Can’t See

NEWS: |TNAWN| Petey Williams suffered an injury in a match against Jimmy Rave. It occurred when Petey took a knee to the face resulting in a broken orbital bone. Initially Petey was very scared because he does not have health insurance, but TNA is paying for his medical bills. The match airs this Thursday night on iMPACT!


What an idiot. How can you be a wrestler and not have health insurance? Even if you barely scrape by in wrestling, you still need it. Even an 11 year old knows that. But what 11 year olds do not know is the respect of adults. Just ask the one who lives next to me. Specifically ask him how my trash can ended up across the street in a sewer that’s protected by a fence.
