IMPACT Wrestling: 09/06/2011

We kick off IMPACT Wrestling with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff (who are reportedly annoyed with Vince Russo's booking). They cut a short promo about talking to the "Network" and how the network love the changes. Also how the "Network" love the X-Division which means Destination X should be great. Eric then calls out Sting and Anderson. Anderson comes out as himself for once instead of "Young Sting". Hogan then explains when he met with the network a few weeks ago he said that nothing is going to happen during Slammiversary's World Title main event and that there will only be a winner and a loser in the match.

Mr. Anderson says to Sting that he was imitating him and making a joke out of his character and that Sting overall is a joke. As obvious during a last promo he claims that he will beat Sting and become the champion. Sting takes over now and says that he will he will not and can not lose the title because he has the power that way. Just a usual promo from Sting now asking Hogan to change and not to be who he is right now, just going after all the power.

Mickie James and Tara are against Angelina Love and Winter in tag team action. Quite a decent knockouts match and all of the divas/knockouts wrestling has made me proud this week. They have all put on good performances. Angelina Love picks up the victory with her new finisher, don't know what it is called or how to explain it, but what I can say is she got the victory mainly due to interference from Madison Rayne that knocked down Tara. The only problem right now with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling is all these little divas feuds. We have gone nowhere now from the ODB/Velvet Sky situation and straight back into the Winter/Angelina Love/Mickie James storyline and mixed in a Madison Rayne/Tara storyline.

Robert Roode is backstage where he just gives a brief talk about how Shelley/Storm have to go out and beat Mexican America tonight before they worry about, The British Invasion at Slammiversary. He explains how he is slightly annoyed he can't do anything where as Mexican America have the numbers game on Shelley/Storm tonight. Mexican America just talk about how they don't get what they deserve because of the American's who just take it away from them. We get footage of the Samoa Joe/Crimson brawl which was obviously set up and then I believe it is Jason Hervey asking, Jeff Jarrett how his wife, Karen is.

Mexican America come out ready to face Gun Money (Shelley and Storm, even though Storm is the "Beer" in Beer Money). The British Invasion are on commentary. Magnus uses the "Conspiracy" word which is being thrown around in wrestling recently about how Shelley and Storm are not officially the tag team champions as they didn't win the titles as a team. Quite a decent tag match and what I expected with the miscommunication of Shelley and Storm that cost them the match. Would have been better if Hernandez got the pinfall. We also witnessed, Sarita and Rosita get invovled; who didn't expect that? My plan looks like it is happening and they will lose the titles at Slammiversary.

We have a backstage segment where basically, Mr. Anderson tells Gunner (is he still part of Immortal) to forget about Eric Young and help him by hurting Sting. The good jackass Hogan came out in the backstage segment with Mexican America. What I mean is how he told them that there is no messing around with him and Bischoff.

Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle come out but Jarrett says instead of a slanging match, Angle will just have to listen to him. He explains how he bought Angle into TNA. How Angle became an egomaniac. How Jarrett took everything away from Angle; that being his wife, his kids, etc. and how he wants to end it all and have the Olympic Gold Medal which Kurt Angle posses. Angle explains he is happy Karen isn't around as he only wanted him and Jeff, 1 on 1.

ODB cuts a little promo about how she is going to just beat up Velvet Sky who just represents the fake people. Kaz and Kendrick are going out to try and find Abyss.

Bull Ray has an open challenge which is accepted by RVD. RVD gets the victory in what was a short match and quite poor in my opinion. It was mainly, lets go back and see the move that just happened, another move happens so lets go back and see a replay of it. AJ comes out gets into the head of Bully Ray and then RVD gets a victory via the 5 star frog splash.

Kaz and Kendrick find Abyss who books himself in a match at Slammiversary against the two guys for the X-Division title which he calls the Xtreme title, well I believe that is how I should spell it due to the big X on the belt.

ODB makes her way out for her match with Velvet Sky but not from the ramp and without music. Velvet Sky then comes from behind to attack her. After a while once it is all in the ring and the bell has rang, ODB instantly goes for a pinfall. Velvet Sky gets the victory after a DDT? I'm a bit annoyed this match didn't end as quick as the RVD/Bully Ray match did; hell it should have ended quicker than it did. There were several comments by Taz that ODB isn't signed to the company apparently. So why does she get promo time, why is she getting a match, why wasn't she being arrested or taken off the premises for appearing and attacking Velvet Sky before?

Eric Young is still acting his dumb self and says that in the tag match if he gets the pinfall on Sting he has won the title from Sting. Sting the gives him a warning about how Anderson and Gunner will be trying to hurt him and tells Eric not to be a comedy act and actually wrestle tonight in the ring. Gunner and Anderson did what they set out to do and dominated Sting in the match. When Eric Young came in he was quite serious until he knocked into Sting which apparently was a tag. Gunner then got the pinfall and the victory.

After the match we got Sting backstage telling Eric to stop being comic relief. AJ just says how Bully Ray is like a balloon and once you pop him he will be gone forever. Anderson then says Gunner is not as good as Sting and makes a run for it when Sting goes after him. Sting then goes crazy and just beats up Mr. Anderson backstage.
