A new day, a new IMPACT Wrestling!

Yes it is Friday which means it is time to review and rant about IMPACT Wrestling. Now due to WWE's lack of form in the past i became a fan of TNA's product. But ever since they failed to please me on all occasions as well. I've stuck by them through thick and thin and decided that sometime soon (other than the Jeff Hardy situation) they are going to let me down big time. Hopefully not before Destination X.

Start off with Eric B right now, not much to talk about there before we get ODB kicking the crap out of Velvet Sky. Not much done by Velvet except for a couple of hits to ODB before getting beat up. Lee South the TNA Photographer and TNA's security got beat up in the process of the beat down. Miss. Tessmacher (weird name) came out after Velvet was stripped to her bra and panties and ODB had left. Pretty pointless there really.

Tenay and Taz are talking before Sting's music hit and yet again Anderson comes out. If they were to make it more original one of the times i'd have Sting come out with Anderson slowly following behind him or something like that as now every time i hear Sting's music i'm expecting Anderson. Anderson quickly talks about how he is going to face one of Sting's most famous competitors. After last week and Disco Inferno i'm expecting it to be someone funny/silly.

Kendrick backstage interrupts Bischoff who is on a phonecall to someone named Scott. Nice to see Bischoff let Kendrick face Kazarian during the show in an X-Division style match.

Bischoff has a during the break segment and then is in the ring next thing we see of him. During the break he was just talking on the phone again and in the ring Bischoff calls out Beer Money. Bischoff is trying to take Beer Money's titles away from them because of the 30 day no compete clause and the fact The British Invasion are waiting to face someone but can't face Beer Money. Alex Shelley comes out and tells the Bischoff he will take the place of Roode because his partner Chris Sabin is injured as well right now. Gun Money will defend the titles against The British Invasion and i'm not taking it out on Shelley or Storm but i see this happening.

TNA make them lose the titles. Shelley gets into an argument with Roode. Roode turns heel. Roode faces Shelley. Storm defends him. Roode feuds with Storm. Defeats Storm in match and then goes on to bigger things. But this is TNA so i don't see anything past the losing of the titles.

Crimson is up against Matt Hardy right now and what a poor thing that is because it cost me the whole post of what i've got so far. I accidentally reloaded the page, but back to it. Nice to see Crimson is keeping up this undefeated streak thing going on, bit annoyed that they seem like they will be ending it soon or making him go over Samoa Joe at the pay per view to continue the streak. Crimson could have been built up like Goldberg and if TNA had a way of getting him there had Goldberg end the streak not Samoa Joe. Back to the match the appeal it gave was what it turned out to be, very boring but an ok finish with the Sky High. Samoa Joe coming out after the match was obvious as Crimson came out after Joe's match last week and nice to see Crimson get the spear.

The backstage segment with Eric Young and Ander-Sting was quite funny and having Eric say about running seminars about how to wrestle a great match as the one he and Gunner had (which was great in a comedy way). Anderson brings up Sting Vs Great Muta as a great match. Nice little plug of the slogan "wrestling matters" in the segment. The two guys will apparently be paying homage to Sting and The Great Muta in the match later on in the night.

Winter and Love have a backstage segment where Winter is basically just ranting about what happened last week with Mickie James. So we finally get to hear "Crazy" Angelina Love and she just said a few things before bringing up the fact she is going to do what she is going to do in honour of Winter.

Nice to see Bischoff playing out this thing with the letter from "The Network" and bringing up the fact that in WCW the network didn't want wrestling and saw completely different ideas, etc. He then says TNA right now is going into that phase where they will be took off the network and realistically have to be bought (which obviously isn't the case).

Christy Hemme is in my opinion the Lillian Garcia of TNA now. She sings and does ring announcing duties. But back to the match it is Knockouts action (i feel like Michael Cole at the minute mainstream womens wrestling bores me). What was bought up before the match kicked off was Angelina Love is the number one contender for the Knockouts championship... how did this happen. How did she become number one contender was it from the beat down last week? Back to the match. Pretty decent match and looks like Angelina Love has a new finisher.

Mr Ander-Sting is up against The Not So Great Muta (Eric Young) now. If they wanted him against someone Muta like then they should have got Kiyoshi back as he is a direct style of The Great Muta. Eric Young is on a roll that was a great match played out by him and Anderson aka Sting & The Not So Great Muta. Glad the green mist got used and came into play to be the decider. I know Young and Gunner have this feud that is ongoing right now but the fact he came out in the match annoyed me slightly. Gunner and Anderson begin to beat up Young and then Sting comes out to make the save yet again.

Another match now and i'm sad there isn't actually any promos yet. Brian Kendrick is facing Kazarian in an X-Division style match. To great a match and because of that it ended in a no contest (something TNA seemed to do a lot before). Was nice to see the guy who's character hates the X-Division continue the X-Division style match. Abyss came out during the rematch and because Kendrick kind of attacked first there wasn't a DQ when Kaz got attacked. The match ended in a no contest if anything and i love how Abyss keeps bringing up stuff from "The Art of War".

So we got an AJ Styles confrontation with Bully Ray. I just realized AJ doesn't have his neck brace on so is his injury healed now after a few weeks? Just a regular promo now from Bully Ray talking about how wrestlers now or days aren't as manly as they were back in the day they all play video games, go on laptops, etc. Last Man Standing match for Bully Ray and AJ Styles. When he said one man up and one man down i thought Elevation X, shame it wasn't that.

Main event time - Angle and Morgan Vs Steiner and Jarrett. Shame Steiner quickly went from face and being a friend with Angle to being a heel and facing Matt Morgan. Pretty basic main event from a company like TNA and yet again while the action is in the ring we get another split screen just so we know now that Hulk Hogan has arrived... WHY? because they are TNA. If anything they could have showed it during the advert after the match... expecting there is an advert. The announced match of Sting and Young vs Anderson and Gunner during this match as well was expected from TNA who could have announced it during the next week if anything. Steiner gets the victory (even though all we saw was a low blow).

Final action of the night is a Hogan & Bischoff promo. Slow promo there about how Bischoff has seen Foley do loads, Hogan reads the letter and Mick Foley is fired (poor attempt at Vince McMahon's your fired from Hogan). Lets see how this is going to play out.

Overall Rating - 3 1/2 out of 5.
