No winner in a six-man cage match.

 

TNA to the very end.

Best part was that Young clearly got to the floor first, and the fans booed Roode because he clearly lost.

[Chaos]

Is there no TNA show on 8/14?

Yeah, I just saw that. For some reason, I thought they taped through 8/7 for those tapings.

[Biz Smarkie]

Best thing about this show thus far: Vlad the Superfan.

[Ace]

Worst part as always: Ken Anderson.

The opening saying "Impact's signature hardcore event moves to a new night!" sure made it seem like a one-off timeslot change. Taz put over it being a regular thing. The Stairway to Janice match was a goofy video game weapons match, but not awful. The EC3-Spud-Rhino stuff was fun. Glad to see Rhino back as a face, and EC3 maintaining his excellent role. Joe-Ki was fantastic - Joe's best match in ages. Each guy looked great, and it's such a shame that Low-Ki has been his own worst enemy because he really should be riding the wive of New Japan's success right now too. I quit was illogical and stupid. That match was devoid of good. The 3D-Hardy-Wolves series should be good - shame it was set up in such a blah way here. Kudos to TNA for congratulating Christy Hemme on being pregnant - TNA's like the most fertile company ever. Gail-Love wasn't a great match overall, but had some fantastic stuff. The ending in particular was amazing. LOVED LOVED LOVED MVP putting Lashley over as the man and rattling off his impressive kill streak since June. The 6-sides of steel was really hurt by ad breaks and just being a bunch of stuff to fill time. There was no real story told. The three-way face submission spot was cute. Ditto the double tower of doom spot. The cage race was a nice homage to Hogan-Orndorff, but the lack of a finish hurt. I liked them hyping up the tag series as the big hook next week, and putting the timeslot change over better, but they should really replay this particular show on Thursday night to cement it because it's hard to imagine it retaining the higher ratings and thus the on-air momentum TNA has.

Fun show overall. Liked it getting straight to action with Stairway to Janice which had some crazy bumps. Joe/Ki was good stuff. Angelina/Gail was very enjoyable if a bit short and had some awesome moments. Angelina's steel chair botox injection looked excellent and the finish looked very well done too with a brutal landing.

[Hail Sabin]

Joe/Ki was good and Love/Kim was well done with Angelina taking the nasty bump to end the match. You can make a case that bump was nastier then the final bump Taryn took in the famous Last knockout standing match.

"SERGE! Come fluff my pillow! ...Serge?"

 

"My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes, and I just fucking kick her, and then OOH BABY, she's OK..."

[Jamal]

Good job by both Gail and Angelina. Some cool spots and nice action.

[John from Cincinnati]

I've participated in more exciting I quit matches whist seated on my porcelain throne. My gritting teeth have had some intense battles with my nearly-debilitating constipation. 

 

Why have those guys wrestle when we'd all be more entertained by time spent on repeat visits to Ms Shaw's house?
