Guest HTQ Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Impact *Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks came to the ring. Roode said that he's not a happy man and he wants Eric Young to come to the ring and listen to their offer. Kurt Angle comes to the ring and tells Roode to leave, headbutting him. Roode leaves the ring. Angle says that he's been thinking about the Turning Point match against Samoa Joe and that his career has now been blemished. Angle said that he can't believe he lost a match to Samoa Joe. He says that he offered Joe a chance of redemption with their rematch and now he demands the same from Joe. Samoa Joe appears on the video screen and points out that Angle said the Turning Point match would be the final match they would ever have, win, lose or draw. Joe says there will be no rematch. Angle gets frustrated and goes to the announcing table, attacks Don West, and puts him in the Anklelock. West is taken to the back. *NWA champion Abyss pinned Ron Killings in a non-title match with the Black Hole Slam in a good match. Mike Tenay did commentary alone. *Backstage in a hallway, Leticia interviewed Christian Cage and Tomko. Cage says that Abyss owes him a title match and says that Abyss has until the end of Impact to accept that match or they will reveal Abyss' secret. The camera then catches Ms. Brooks trying to get Eric Young to sign a contract with Robert Roode Inc. so she doesn't get fired. Kurt Angle appears and asks them if they know where Samoa Joe is. Angle decks Young and leaves. *Petey Williams pinned X-Division champion Christopher Daniels in a non-title match. Chris Sabin interfered, bringing the X-Division title into the ring. That brought out Jerry Lynn, who took the belt. Daniels spotted Lynn with the title belt Daniels had words with Lynn, finally hitting him with an enziguiri. Williams scored the win. Jim Cornette joined Mike Tenay on commentary from this point. *Backstage, Kurt Angle had referee Slick Johnson in an anklelock as security tried to pull him off. *Kurt Angle returned to the Impact Zone and pulled SoCal Val into the ring. He called out Joe, saying that if Joe didn't come to the ring, he was going to snap her leg. Joe didn't show but Jim Cornette got into the ring. Cornette told Angle that he's better than this and asked if Kurt had lost his mind. Cornette said that he wants to see a rematch as much as everyone else does, but because of a clause in Joe's contract, he cannot force them into a one on one match. He then said that he can put Joe in a tag match and announced they would face each other in a tag setting next week. He said that if Angle can convince Joe to give him a rematch, Cornette will sign it. *Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed America's Most Wanted. Chris Harris had his eye taped up. Harris said it was embarrassing that they had to hear the Mexican national anthem at Turning Point, and that his integrity was questioned by James Storm. He said they had a heart to heart conversation and are a unified duo again. James Storm said that they are the best tag team in wrestling and the only way they will disband is over his dead body. *In a match where AMW would split up if they lost featuring Konnan locked in a penalty box to prevent interference, NWA Tag Teams champions LAX defeated AMW after James Storm purposely smashed a beer bottle over Chris Harris' head to set up the pin for Homicide. Petey Williams confronted Storm on the ramp and had words with him. Williams and Gail Kim checked on Harris. *Christian Cage and Tomko came to the ring. Cage said that Abyss had until the end of Impact and now time is up. Abyss and Jim Mitchell come out. Tomko and Abyss end up brawling. Abyss gets the better of Tomko, clotheslining him out of the ring. and starts battling Cage. TNA's referees hit the ring. Cage and Tomko left the ring. Abyss lays out the referees. Cornette comes to the ring. Abyss goozles his throat and the lights go out. Sting comes to the ring and tries to talk sense into him. Abyss lets Cornette go and grabs Mitchell by the throat. Sting grabbed the NWA title and headed for the back. Abyss realized Sting had the title and let Mitchell go, staring at Sting. Xplosion *Robert Roode pinned Jay Lethal after Ms. Brooks distracted Lethal. A good match. Impact for 12/21: *Sting (who had the NWA title with him) pinned Frankie Kazarian. After the match, Sting took the mic and said that Abyss has something Sting wants, and now Sting has something Abyss wants as well. He said he wants to give Abyss the title back, but wants a rematch, so Abyss has until the end of Impact to come to the ring without Jim Mitchell and grant that rematch. *They did pyro for the opening, following by several X-Division babyfaces tossing gifts to the crowd. *Johnny Devine and Matt Bentley dragged Kazarian to the ring, where he was caned by Raven. *Team 3D defeated The Naturals in a Tables Match after Brother Ray powerbombed Andy Douglas through a table for the win. After the match, Shane Douglas took the mic and told the Naturals that he had warned them before, so now the experiment is over. *Ron Killings did a Christmas rap. Brother Runt (dressed as Santa Claus) came to the ring. *NWA Tag Team champions LAX came out. Konnan had a small artificial Christmas tree with him. Konnan said that Jim Cornette's plan backfired yet again as LAX won last week even with Konnan locked in a cage. Konnan said that they are the best tag team in TNA and can defeat any gringo tag team. Konnan ripped on Santa Claus, saying LAX is still waiting for gifts they never got as children. That brings Runt back to the ring. He says it's the holiday season so he's got a gift for LAX, warning Konnan to shut his mouth. LAX jumps Runt. Hernandez gives Runt the Border Toss. A bunch of babyfaces hit the ring to check on Runt. *Abyss comes to the ring. Sting comes out with the NWA title. Sting says that Abyss has potential to be a great champion as long as he's not worried about his past. He tells Abyss that you can't change the past, so don't worry about it, but you can change the future. Abyss is about to shake Sting's hand when Christian Cage appears on the videoscreen, in front of a jail. Cage brings up Abyss' past, saying that Abyss did something that was unforgivable. He says Abyss can look to the future all he wants, but his past cannot be forgotten. He says they have something that belongs to him, the NWA title. Sting calls Cage a punk and says Abyss can determine and control his own destiny. Instead of shaking Sting's hand, Abyss attacks Sting and they fight until security separates them. Tomko comes out on one of the ramps. One of the security guards turns out to be Cage in disguise, so he attacks Abyss with a nightstick. Tomko and Cage knock him out of the ring and turn their attention to Sting. Mitchell drags Abyss away from the ring but he grabs Sting's bat and chases off Cage and Tomko. Abyss hands Sting the bat. Sting left the ring, leaving the NWA title with Abyss. Mitchell began berating Abyss. *AJ Styles and Samoa Joe defeated Rhino and Kurt Angle after Styles pinned Rhino with a rollup. After the match, Rhino and Styles brawled to the back. Angle put Joe in the Anklelock. Security tries to get Angle to let go. He releases it, then puts Joe back in it. He finally lets Joe go. Joe has to be helped to the back by security. Xplosion: *Petey Williams pinned Alex Shelley with the Canadian Destroyer in what was the best match of the night. *Eric Young pinned Chris Sabin. Young had the lamp from "A Christmas Story" with him and nailed Sabin with it when the referee wasn't looking. Just remember; you can't complain about them cramming two-hours of material into one-hour shows or blowing PPV matches on FREE TV with zero build. That's just looking for stuff to complain about.

Loss Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 God, between the way the wrestlers talk, David Sahadi's video packages and Vince Russo's booking, TNA is WAY more elaborate than they ever need to be. Why can't they just speak like real people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTQ Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 God, between the way the wrestlers talk, David Sahadi's video packages and Vince Russo's booking, TNA is WAY more elaborate than they ever need to be. Why can't they just speak like real people? Didn't you hear? No complaining. Once again, Russo crams too much stuff into the shows. You've got AMW splitting up after a big stipulation match that is getting ZERO hype and isn't even in the main event of Impact. You've got Sting, the babyface, acting like a heel. You've got Abyss playing Kane to Christian Cage's HHH with the early stages of the Katie Vick angle. It's such overbooked nonsense that it makes your head spin.
