TNA Impact Wrestling 1.3.2012
After highlights of Kurt Angle attacking Jeff Hardy during his match with Robert Roode last week, Kurt Angle says that he will be going to the ring with cue cards to help him list all of the reasons why he jumped Hardy last week.
1. Hardy has hair, Angle doesn't
Hardy colours his hair, but that doesn't make him a champion
2. The way Hardy dresses is embarrassing
3. Hardy comes in late and fans flock to him
4. Girls love Jeff Hardy
5. He has over 100 wrestling figures and posters, but his son is a big Jeff Hardy fan...
Jeff Hardy comes to the ring and Kurt offers him at match at Victory Road, where he plans to destroy him.
Hardy slaps Angle and gets a double leg take down before attacking him with ground and pound before officials separate them.
Hardy picks up the microphone and agrees to the match...
Bobby Roode is backstage cutting a promo on what Sting did to him last week, saying that it's bad for business when the authority figure wants to book himself in a main event while there are lots of guys backstage who really deserve the spot.
Austin Aries drops by and agrees with Roode. Austin thinks they both have a lot in common and they agree to talk...
Austin Aries and Alex Shelley comment on their match together after TNA Turning Point... I love this match by the way. I thought it was an updated, 2012 equivalent to Randy Savage Vs Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania 3.
AJ Styles and Kazarian (with Daniels) comment on their match after TNA Turning Point...
All great, serious promos here...
Gauntlet Match
AJ Styles Vs Chris Daniels
Daniels and Styles are having a great match. While Daniels is in control, Kazarian jumps into the ring and attacks Styles.
Daniels gets DQ'd and Kazarian quickly pins Styles to win the Gauntlet match.
I think it's an interesting twist for Kazarian to now be leading the charge against Styles... It looks like the weeks he has seemed reluctant to attack Styles has just been a mind game?
Backstage, Gail Kim says that she has arranged for her friend and No.1 contender to the KO Title, Madison Rayne to have a warm-up match tonight against ODB...
ODB Vs Madison Rayne
ODB gets a clean win over Madison in a short TV match.
Gail Kim claims that she tried to interfere in the match to help Madison...
Bully Ray is backstage venting his anger to a female employee... Roode and Aries talk to Bully Ray about his problems with Brandon Jacobs last week.
Roode and Aries tell Bully Ray that all of their problems have been caused by Sting. They tell Bully Ray to call them...
Sarita and Angelina jump Velvet Sky outside and it develops into a brawl. Sarita and Angelina get the better of Velvet and they leave her laying as Mickie James comes to help...
This was done pretty well.
Austin Aries and Alex Shelley featured in a music video... the song sucks, but it's great that these guys are featured in the video.
If I had a music video, I'd want these guys to be in it!
Backstage, Flair, Gunner and Eric Bischoff are talking to Garret.... Flair tells him that if he is here next week they are going to take things to another level.... Garret thanks them for the "heads up" and leaves....
Roode, Aries and Bully Ray come to the ring and blame Sting for causing all their problems. They claim that they are "done" until Sting is gone from TNA.
The lights go out and when they come back on, Sting is in the ring with them.
Sting says if they are "done", then Aries and Roode need to hand over their titles and they are all out of work....
They agree that they aren't "done" in that case and Sting books them in a 6 man tag match main event for later tonight.
Shannon Moore Vs Zema Ion
They have a good, short TV match, which Ion wins with his Tilt-a-whirl face buster.
Angelina Love & Sarita Vs Mickie James & Velvet Sky
Velvet Sky pins Angelina Love in a short TV tag match.
James Storm along with the tag team champions, Joe & Magnus cut a backstage promo on Roode, Bully Ray & Aries before their match, which is up next....
"Abyss is missing" video package airs..... Abyss has been missing since his PPV match with Bully Ray and no one knows where he is....
Bully Ray, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries Vs James Storm, Samoa Joe & Brutus Magnus
Great 6-man main event. Everyone in the match looked great and had their chance to shine in a really action-packed match.
James Storm pins the world champion, Bobby Roode after hitting the super kick.
After the match, Bully Ray attacks Joe, Storm and Magnus with a chair to get his heat back and TNA Impact Wrestling goes off air.....
This was a good edition of Impact, which did well to further feuds and advance storylines as well as feature some really good promos and some great wrestling too.
I haven't noticed too much of a change in the show since Russo left the company and I wonder if those changes are going to show themselves in future weeks.
