Show opens with Abyss calling out Mick Foley, quite frankly this angle has
been too long in finally coming and no-one cares any more.
X Division #1 Contender Ladder Match, Amazing Red vs Sheik Abdul Bashir vs
Kiyoshi vs Consequences Creed vs Jay Lethal - The winner of this gets
themselves a shot at the X Division title next week, Red had a great start
but was at a huge disadvantage being against 2 tagteams. Creed took a
wicked looking inverted Piledriver off Bashir however Reds Headscissors DDT
was outstanding as was his standing snap Hurricanrana on Creed that caused
him to barf, Amazing Red climbed the ladder to get the contract & take the
win here.
Dr Stevie (with Daffney) vs Kevin Nash - Stevie bailed in the opening second
suckering Nash out to the floor where Daffney distracted him allowing Stevie
to unload on Nashs legs, back in the ring Stevie was whaling on Nash who
spent most of the match on his back until Stevie tried a Sleeperhold but
Nash broke it giving Stevie a facefull of boot but everything was over after
Kevin Nash hit the Jack Knife Powerbomb for the win.
Battle Of The Playboy Models, Traci vs Christy Hemme - Actually TNA were
being very brave by sticking 2 fingers up to kayfabe by acknowledging not
only Hemme having posed for Playboy but with their main rivals WWE. Traci
was on top from the get go with Hemme jobbing like crazy for the opening few
minutes but getting a nice comeback until she missed the FFG, Christy Hemme
took the win off an excellent Roll-up from the corner. Traci making a
postmatch beatdown didn't really do much to further her as a heel.
TNA Knockout Championship, Awesome Kong (with Raisha Saeed) vs ODB - Tara
had joined the colour desk so there was always going to be some interference
here, this match was actually so boring they cut away to Saeed getting in
Taras face who left her chair for a confrontation only to be suckered into
the grasp of Kong. Kong took a Neckbreaker into the top rope off Tara
allowing ODB to hit a Schoolboy Roll-up to make the win. I said it would
happen, didn't I? The post match scrap between Tara & ODB was better than
the actual match until Kong decided to jump them both nailing both Tara &
ODB with an Implant Buster each.
Kurt Angle vs Hernandez - Well this match was a staggering array of fuck all
that ended in a double countout,but allowed World Elite to jump Angle &
Hernandez then beat them up backstage. Angle was saved from his beating by
the intervention of MEM.
The Beautiful People come out & address Angelina Love being gone (very brave
& anti-kayfabe) then invite Sarita & Taylor Wilde out so they can apologise
to their for being horrible (claiming Love made them do it, ah - The
Nuremburg Defence!). They both shake hands but Sky & Rayne jump them once
their backs are turned which Wilde & Sarita turn around in seconds. Sarita
is then jumped by a mystery blonde in a gold jacket who then levels Wilde &
Tenay ID's her as Lacey Von Erich who hits the Von Erich Claw on Sarita.
Eric Young vs Matt Morgan - If there was ever a match with no heat that
no-one really wants to see it was going to be this, the match itself was
going nowhere when Morgan did his usual move of dropping a leg across Youngs
neck on the top rope then Morgan went to the floor to celebrate with the
fans only to be nailed in the head with a chair by a fan dressed as Abyss
(who had been in the front row for the whole show, I was going to mention
him earlier) and the chair had "Abyss, use my chair" written on it. The fan
scaled the guard rail & pulled off the Abyss mask to reveal it was actually
Kurt Angle as the ref called for the bell so I assume the win went to Morgan
on a DQ off outside interference which allowed the rest of The MEM to beat
Eric Young but World Elite ran out to even things up with complete chaos. I
did wonder how they were going to kill the last 13 minutes of the show but
it turned out there was going to be another match.
6 Man Tag Match, Brutus Magnus, Doug Williams (with Big Rob) & Rhino vs Team
3D & Bobby Lashley - Beer Money join the announce team for this match, by
the time it got going there was only 7 minutes of show left so it was never
really going to shape up to be any kind of decent match but I had my fingers
crossed it wasn't going to turn into the 3rd shitty brawl of the night.
Nothing worth calling in this match, Lashley took the win off a submission
hold after Brutus Magnus tapped out.
I'm not sure why they bothered with Samoa Joe jumping Lashley in the closing
seconds of the show, it gets neither guy over.
Lacey Von Erich had a good debut and I look forward to seeing her 1st proper
match and what kind of ring outfit they put her into.
