TNA Impact Wrestling 22nd December 2011
Bobby Roode & Bully Ray / Jeff Hardy & Sting segment
Tag Team Wild Card Tournament
Rob Van Dam & Chris Daniels Vs AJ Styles & Kazarian
Anthony Neese Vs Zima Ion
Madison Referee: Tera Vs Brooke
James Storm / Kurt Angle in bar
Shannon Moore & Anarchia Vs Eric Young & ODB
Street Fight: Sting & Jeff Hardy Vs Bully Ray & Bobby Roode
Bully Ray says he loves giving “seasons beatings”, while Roode wants Sting to look him in the eyes and show his authority by suspending him, as it’s Xmas time and he could do with some time off.
Hardy comes down the ramp to confront Roode and Bully and says he will end Roode’s “selfish generation” at TNA Genesis. Sting joins Hardy and says he will be Jeff Hardy’s partner later tonight when they face Bully Ray and Roode in the street fight main event.
Tag Team Wild Card Tournament
Rob Van Dam & Chris Daniels Vs AJ Styles & Kazarian
I’m a big fan of everyone in this match and Great work by all.
Former Fortune team mates Kaz and Styles take on RVD and Daniels, who have been feuding over the last couple of months.
After Daniels tagged himself into the match when RVD had Styles in trouble (he wouldn‘t accept the tag before that) RVD kicks Daniels in the head from outside the ring, which enables Kazarian to hit his impressive reverse piledriver on Daniels for the 3 count.

Austin Aries cuts a great promo backstage on being the X Division Champion.
Anthony Neese believes he will dominate the X Division and Zema Ion says that as he has the prettiest moves and it’s all about “Me, Myself and Ion!”.
Anthony Neese Vs Zima Ion (2nd match of 3 Series)
The winner of this best of 3 series will get into the X Division Fatal 4-Way at TNA Genesis.
Both of these guys are really impressive in the ring. The way Tony Neese glides through the air is actually pretty incredible.
Great action in this match.
Anthony Neese gets the win with a quick roll up to even the series to 1-1.
Madison Rayne announces that on her way out of the company, Karen made her the VIP of the Knockouts Division…
Robbie & Terry short backstage promo…
The Pope cuts great a promo on being like a father for Devon’s children. “I’m a father to the fatherless, a husband to the husbandless” lol Devon confronts The Pope and gets in his face before one of his sons strikes his father with a chair from behind.
I’m really into this angle and the Pope was on top form here.
Eric Young is out on a date / business meeting with ODB before they team up later tonight in the Wild Card Tag Team Tournament….
Gail Kim is backstage with a concussion talking about still being co-holder of the KO Tag Titles as well as the KO World Title. Good “hazy” promo with her still suffering from the effects of her match with Mickie James at Final Resolution.
Madison Rayne books Tera to face her friend Brooke Tessmacher with herself as the referee.
Brooke and Tera trade friendly wrist locks. Madison breaks them up and threatens them with unemployment if they don’t fight each other. Tera and Brooke roll around to make Madison keep counting to 2. Madison gets mad and screams at them to fight each other or they will be fired…. Tera and Brooke start fighting each other but stop before it heats up too much. Madison screams at them “Will someone just hit somebody!?”
and they both hit Madison with double elbows to the face….
Sting and Jeff Hardy are backstage and Sting calls himself a mark for Hardy and that everyone deserves a second chance. He reminds people that he had a few of them over the years himself…
James Storm is backstage after TNA’s Final Resolution PPV, talking about his win over Kurt Angle and what it means to him.
Eric Young is in the kitchen of the restaurant looking for a gift for ODB…..
James Storm comes to the ring and delivers a great promo on Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle appears on the Video wall in a bar wearing a cowboy hat and talking with a Southern accent. He drinks moonshine and spits it in a cowgirl’s face “It tastes like piss!”.
Bully Ray and Bobby Roode cut an excellent backstage promo on Sting and Hardy before their match tonight.
Tag Team Wild Card Tournament
Shannon Moore & Anarchia Vs ODB & Eric Young
Anarchia scoop slams ODB during the match and Shannon Moore walks out on his partner for doing that to a woman. ODB scores the pinfall after hitting a low blow.
I don’t like the comedy angle between ODB and Eric or that they are advancing in the Tag Title Wild Card Tournament. TNA have so much talent in the company, they should keep Anarchia off TV. Oh, and ODB should be in the Knockouts Division.
Morgan and Crimson are backstage with their Tag Team Titles, saying that they would take on anyone from any company. “Nobody wants to fuck with us, period!”
Kurt Angle beats up everyone in the western-style bar he is in. This looked pretty cool, although very contrived. I thought it was really funny to watch him comically beat up these rednecks with ease.
Street Fight: Jeff Hardy & Sting Vs Bobby Roode & Bully Ray
This was a really exciting, hard-hitting street fight, everyone worked hard and looked great in the match.
It was an excellent main event for Impact Wrestling.
Jeff Hardy frog-splashed Roode throught a table to win the match for his team.
Overall, I really enjoyed Impact Wrestling this week.
I thought it was a strong show, which furthered all feuds well, featured great promos and also featured some great action in a few matches.
