TNA iMPACT! Wrestling TV (Airing February 20th):

The next show started within the ring. Magnus and Dixie Carter came out and Magnus called out MVP, who came out and repeated his offer to make the Lethal Lockdown match to be for the presidency of TNA

Magnus apologized but he wouldn't be able to lead Team Dixie as he would be retaining the world title. MVP said he was behind disrespectful for ignoring a war hero like Gunner. Magnus said tonight he would beat Gunner and if MVP stuck his nose in, Magnus would make him his bitch. 

MVP punched him and they started brawling. EC3 came out and they started double teaming him. Gunner evened the odds and Magnus, and EC3 and Magnus retreated but ran into The Wolves. Magnus shoved EC3 to the Wolves and escaped. Wolves took out EC3. The Wolves, Gunner, and MVP celebrated in the ring...

Bobby Roode apologized to James Storm for the all the badness between them and teased that he may quit. Storm told him to man up...

In the ring, Samoa Joe invited out and my residents of Dixieland for a fight. Bro-Mans and Zema Ion took the challenge.

Samoa Joe beat Bro-Mans and Zema Ion. Joe got a lit of early offense before the triple team wore him down. Eventually, he eliminated the Bro-Mans and hit zema with the muscle buster before making him submit with the rear naked choke hold.

Bobby came out and talked about his career to huge face reaction. He said tonight would be his last night as a wrestler. Big "No" chants. He thanked the fans and went to leave and Dixie's music hit. She said he doesn't get to make that choice, she let A.J. Styles, Sting, and Jeff Hardy leave as she doesn't like them. There was a big A.J. chant. She said she needs him and wants him to lead her team at Lockdown. Bobby said no. She said if he did lead the team she would give him ten percent of TNA, so he accepted... 

The American Wolves defeated Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. A decent tag match but crowd starting to lag. The Wolves got a nice reaction and Davey Richards got the pin...

Magnus defeated Gunner to retain the TNA Title. Excellent match. Early on Magnus called for help from the back but instead Storm and the Wolves cane and blocked the entrance ramp. The match continued back and forth. Eventually. Bro-mans and EC3 came through the crowd to help Magnus and the six non-combatants fought up the ramp. The match continued and Gunner kicked out of Magnus's big elbow.

Gunner hit his sling shot suplex, but as he went for the pin Rockstar Spud ran out and put Magnus's foot on the rope. Storm came out and chased Spud around the ring a couple of times and then into the ring where he threw Spud out. Gunner hit some offense while storm cheered him on in the ring. Gunner went for his diving headbutt, but on the way down got caught with Storm's Last Call superkick. Magnus got the pin to retain the title. This concluded the Impact taping, but there is one match remaining for Xplosion... 

TNA Xplosion:

EC3 defeated Eric Young. Nice quick match with ec3 hitting his finish to the match. After the match as people started leaving, EC3 went on the mic and told everyone to stay where they were as he had something to say. He said we were all lucky to see him perform four times but he knows we all wanted to see someone else, Kurt Angle, but he took out Kurt and now he is an American icon.

Kurt's music hit for a really big pop from the fans who stayed. He said EC3 was an American asshole and even though he was injured he was sure EC3 was getting an Angle Slam. EY rolled in from behind and hit the Angle Slam and an ankle lock to send the crowd home happy.

A really enjoyable show.

This is why they should still have the Television title so instead of fueding tag champions we could have Gunner and Storm fueding over the tag title. I know that they havent won the tag titles yet but that looks like where they are going.

Has TNA ever not started Impact with some sort of authority figure/faction doing cutting a promo

 

It's been a long time. TNA only knows how to present wrestling one way. I wonder what the writing team would do if they were mandated to not use the following most annoying wrestling tropes of the last 20 years:

 

- starting off the show with a long promo

- on air authority figures

- company power struggles/invasion angles

 

It's amazing that all TNA has to do is get rid fo those tree things from their product and they will be so DIFFERENT from WWE.

 

As far as FOF cases are concerned, its always been stated that the winner of the tag team title shot can choose whomever he wants as his partner. If that wrestler is in a team with Jeffy Hardy - it doesn't matter- that wrestler can chose Rockstar Spud if the wrestler so choses.

This was a really fun show and easily the best Impact so far this year. The Gunner videos were amazing, and everything involving Shaw and Christy was hilarious. Also, the Wolves-Bad Influence was great - I demand a best of nine million series ASAP.

There's a fat fan in the front row wearing a plaid shirt (he was there last week too) and his close-set facial features and smooth face and short hair and t-rex arms make him look like a super giant fat baby, like in Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It's really distracting.

Samuel Shaw just randomly knocking out Hemme and taking her away to rape her unconscious body during the middle of that Gutcheck dude's promo was bizarre even by TNA's time travelling lesbian vampire standards.

 

Willow continues to be written by the best drugs money can buy.

 

Amazing.  Mike Tenay is like The Watcher: sworn to not interfere.

I want to see him wearing that outfit next show.  Plus, you know that Gutcheck guy could have stood up and went "Hey man, that's not right, let the medic deal with her" gotten beat down by Shaw, and lead into a match/feud.  But, I guess that's a little too straightforward.

Has TNA ever not started Impact with some sort of authority figure/faction doing cutting a promo

Two weeks ago, it started (after a quick recap of MVP arriving and a few seconds of the Wolves/MVP entering the arena) with Eric Young and Abyss brawling in the back to start their Monster's Ball match.

Some pretty good stuff this week. Wolves/Bad Influence was good and I enjoyed Gail/Madison even if it was short. The Gunner videos were fantastic and helped him come across like much more of a major player than ever before. The match felt like Magnus' best match in a very long time, Gunner looked great and shined here, looking more like the world champ level guy. Surprised they turned Storm heel but thought it was well done. Kinda hoped they wouldn't at all after the great Storm/Gunner team reunion promo a few weeks back. Thought for sure when their breakup angle started that Gunner would be the one to turn but this could end up good.

As someone who used to be bored to tears by Roode, I really liked his promo this week.  They could go either way with him at this point and have it make sense:  Either the semi-conflicted heel who can't escape his past or the wronged face striking back at the management who stabbed him in the back.
