10/3 Impact Spoilers


Recommended Posts

TNA Xplosion

1. Gunner defeated Christopher Daniels. The event is poorly attended but the live crowd was very hot. Daniels got heat from the live crowd. Gunner won with a shoulder block off the second rope. 

1. James Storm beat Robbie E. This match was held after the first match of the Impact taping.

TNA Impact TV Taping

1. Jeff Hardy and Manik defeated Kenny King and Chris Sabin. Austin Aries was on commentary. Hardy pinned King to win the match for his team. Sabin attacked from behind, but Aries made the save.

Hardy vs. Aries vs. Sabin vs. Manik in an Ultimate X match was announced for Bound For Glory. 

Velvet Sky was scheduled to face Brooke Tessmacher in a No. 1 contenders match. However, Lei'D Tapa attacked Velvet before the opening bell.

A.J. Styles hyped his Bound For Glory match against Bully Ray, who interrupted the promo segment. This led to the announcement of Ray vs. Samoa Joe for later in the show. 

2. Bobby Roode, Christopher Daniels, and Kazarian defeated Magnus in a gauntlet match. Magnus pinned Daniels and then formed Kazarian to submit. Magnus was attacked from behind by Kazarian, which led to Roode getting the submission win. 

Sting came out and spoke to a frustrated Magnus, who didn't want to talk. Sting attempted to get Magnus to go to the back, but Magnus refused. They spoke in the ring. It appears it will be Sting vs. Magnus as Bound For Glory, as Sting said he is going to "put Magnus on the map." 

3. Samoa Joe beat TNA Champion Bully Ray by DQ. The referee was knocked out during the match. Bully Ray took advantage of the opportunity and used a chain, but Earl Hebner disqualified him. Ray shoved down Hebner and continued to attack Joe. Ray set up Joe for a piledriver on the concrete, but Styles entered through the audience and made the save. Styles escaped security and went back into the crowd to celebrate. 

Dixie Carter came out to get Hulk Hogan's answer. Carter was really trying to be a heel, but she did not do that good of a job. Hogan quit. Dixie attempted to stop Hogan on the ramp. Carter got on her knees and begged him to stay, Hogan walked away. Dixie flipped out to close the show. Roughly 30 percent of the crowd left during the taping of the second show.

 

 

 

(Hogan's off TV for at least a few weeks? Yay!)

Three matches in two hours.

 

Are we absolutely sure Russo's gone?

To be fair,

 

a) It's four matches, the first was taped before Xplosion for some reason, and

 

B) they usually keep the in-ring action shorter on the taped episode because the fans are getting burned out, so they pad it out with more vignettes/etc.

Magnus came off like a bigger deal after tonight, but the match with Sting is super-rushed. Looking forward to Roode-Angle being built up with next week's EGO HOF deal. Tapa's debut was pretty bad. The idea of this character is okay, but she's not capable of playing it well now. Theme's great though. Joe-Bully could've been good, but wasn't given time and was given a shit ending. I liked Evan Markopolis returning as Ethan - an entitled young prick with a lot of money - so basically an American version of that Eurotrash guy in the Hellfish episode of the Simpsons. Hogan's exit was epic though. My God the comedy... Hogan got paid millions of dollars, STILL GOT TO MAKE OUTSIDE LICENSING DEALS (not just with WWE, but with Slingshot Shirts), and now gets to book his return to WM XXX while having the owner of TNA basically begging to fuck him to stay. It's impossible not to look up to this man. The crowd should've chanted "you've still got it." after all that.

I believe that that phrase "do you want to ride the Dixie train" is the pro wrestling equivalent of your parents talking to you about sex for the first time.  Hell why not go all the way and just scream "who wants to see the grind" like Sable in 1999.   :blink:

 

If the purpose of that segment was to make people feel really creepy that it was a classic segment

Supposedly it's actually Derrick Bateman.

This show felt like mostly a nothing show aside of the Hogan deal and setting up a couple things for BFG. Thought the Magnus gauntlet was rather boring but the post-match stuff was good though definitely rushed. Seems like they're going to struggle to put a real complete card together for BFG with like 5 matches announced plus the preshow. Looking forward to that Ultimate X, still think Sabin comes off awful, would like to see Hardy as X Champ.

Take a ride on the Dixie Train was one of the funniest unintentional lines I've ever heard. I could not stop laughing after hearing that. God bless Hulk Hogan. The man has guarenteed himself either a great moral victory for "not selling out" to Dixie or if he does return, we know he'll join with Dixie to do a screw job on AJ.

 

But man, watching TNA is like watching someone dying a slow death. You hold out hope that maybe something could happen, but deep down you know what the reality really is.

It's been dying pretty consistently for years, though.

 

I think it helps to see it for what it is, which is just a crappy wrestling show. Like most of Raw and Smackdown. And just watch Gary Hart promos and Freebirds matches all day.
