My Thoughts on TNA Impact for Feb 11th 2010

I used screen capture for this post

I have sent so many emails in panic to iTunes Canada, I think they have one person assigned to my account. iTunes Canada had it for download tonight.

And you know the show started off with that old man who really needs to admit it's time for a hair cut and shave, yammering on about how people are now talking about TNA. Dude, people have been talking about TNA for the last 7 years. Bored Now. I actually thought about just doing the dishes while he was on, and I hate doing the dishes. I would rather clean the toilet five times in a row then do the damned dishes. Then I remembered, I have a fast forward button cause it's iTunes.



Then Eric Yummy.... er um Eric Young came to the ring. I like beautiful men okay

Then we had another qualifying match for the 8 card stud tournament. Pope vs Orlando Jordan.
My money is on the Pope, and I am still waiting for someone in the X-Division to snag me that wicked trenchcoat. They started with a collar tie up, with Jordan getting the advantage with an elbow. Pope then turned it around with two deep arm drags. Jordan when for a thumb to the eyes before sweeping out the leg of Pope. He then used a swinging neckbreaker getting Pope down on the mat before using a large back breaker. Pope managed to turn it back in his favour with an inverted atomic drop then a large flying forearm. Pope then used his trademark coronation (smooth slide) for a near fall. Jordan used a spinebuster for a near fall. Pope used his trademark knees to the back (Denaro Express) for the win. He qualifies for the ppv this weekend.


The next qualifying match is Suicide vs Matt Morgan the evil druid. Suicide was pushed into the corner, but he used the ropes to leap over Morgan and bounce off the far side with a series of kicks. Suicide went for a drop kick but Morgan the evil druid caught him in midair tossing him overhead. He then got Suicide into the corner for his rapid fire elbows. Morgan then used a simple side slam drop on Suicide, before Suicide used a spring board drop kick to turn it back in his favour. Morgan used his carbon footprint for the win.

X-Division title match. Amazing Red vs Doug Williams. Williams grabbed the leg of Red spinning him but getting kicked upside the skull. Red got him cornered with a series of punches before taking the knees out from under Williams. Each used a form of roll up for a near fall, before Williams used a wheelbarrow press to get the advantage. He then used a leg scissors getting Red in the center of the mat. Red did manage to get it back around and toss Williams out of the ring, which set up perfect for his twisting corkscrew dive. He used a spin kick but only got a near fall. Red was going for a high risk move but Williams sidestepped throwing him shoulder first into the ring post. Williams was then wide open for his rolling chaos theory for the win.

Knock Out handi cap match. Beautiful People vs Love/Tara. No not breaking my rule. Hey was it my imagination or was the shot Love put on Lacey a really hard hit? Velvet sky got the pin on Love with a cheat.

Wolfe's promo was funny. I like Wolfe. He was in a tag team match with Hernandez vs Mr. Anderson/Kurt Angle. Hernandez and Anderson started it off. Anderson used a few kicks and a rake to the face to get the upper hand. Hernandez used a closeline chop plus a large splash in the corner before tearing off his shirt for the necktie toss. Angle got tagged in by Anderson, and slapped a hammerlock on Hernandez. He turned it around on Angle before Wolfe used a cheap shot (a kick from the outside on Angle) Wolfe blindtagged himself in using a sweeping slam on Angle. He continued to work on the arm with a top wrist lock/hip drag combo. Angle countered with a release suplex, letting Hernandez tag in, with a flying shoulder block. Wolfe tagged back in and used a vicious upper forearm knocking Angle down to the mat. Angle managed to get the ankle lock on Wolfe, making him tag but the ref was out of range, then Hernandez tagged back in only to be given a suplex off the top turnbuckle. Chaos for a few minutes with everyone in the ring, then Wolfe used his hammerlock drop on Angle for a near fall. Just as Wolfe was going for his tower of london, Angle countered it and used a side slam, where upon Anderson blindtagged himself in. Anderson tossed Angle out of the ring and hooked the leg on Wolfe for the win.

I still think the ramp is stupid and dangerous. Samoa Joe came out to a round of idiots moshing in the front row. Where the hell do you guys find the people for the front row any way? The back of the short bus? He called out A.J. Styles. I agree, Styles is boring now. Go back to your old look. Mr. Styles, come close to the computer, I have to tell you something, you as a Heel, just not a good fit. I do not feel you as a Heel.

And where the hell were the MotorCityMachine Guns! huh?

Raw : 2/8/2010

We opened with a recap of the Bret Hart situation.

I hate the opening credits by the way, the song is a total irritation and the opening looks too much like a bad Much Music commercial from 25 years ago.

The guest host was a race driver I've never heard of before, but then again I am not into racing. Carl Edwards. Anyone else notice that there has only been one female guest host so far on Raw? When Trish Stratus hosted back in the summer.

But hey, Sheamus came out to liven things up; yes the members of hcvpteam are hot for Sheamus. Christian came out.... hey isn't he from ECW the show we don't get here?

Christian vs Sheamus. It started with a collar tie up that turned into a armdrag/hip toss by Sheamus. He managed to get a punch in on Christian, but then when he went for an elbow in the corner, Christian blocked it and went for a cross body, that was caught in midair. Sheamus then tossed him overhead and used a running closeline to get Christian over the ropes onto the floor. Back in the ring, Sheamus had Christian down on the mat in a modified sleeper armlock. Christian powered out but Sheamus answered with a heavy knee to the chest before Christian used the ropes for a shoulder block. Both men fell to their knees. Christian pulled the top rope when Sheamus went for another closeline, tossing Sheamus over. Christian then went for a top rope springboard/suicide drop combo. Sheamus turned it back to his favour with the use of the ring post to the shoulder. He then continued to work on the shoulder by sending Christian backwards into the guardrail with a hammerlock. Back in the ring, Sheamus used another hammerlock keeping him down on the mat. Christian in the corner began to fight back with a series of elbows before going to the second turnbuckle for a drop kick. He followed up with a series of open palm slaps to the side of the head before using the top rope for a reversed hangman, causing Sheamus to stumble. Another high risk move off the second rope but Sheamus rolled out of the way and used a closeline to gain a small advantage but Christian used a DDT for a near fall. Sheamus used his trademark punt kick and his celtic cross (boarder toss) for the win.

Three Team Tag Elimination match. CM Punk/Luke Gallows vs DX vs Miz/Big Show. The rest of the guys jumped Miz and Big Show tossing BS out of the ring and stomping on Miz in the corner before the bell. DX cleaned the ring. Back in the ring, Punk had HBK in the corner and delivered a high knee then a running bulldog. BS got into the ring trying to sandwich slam both men but missed. This match it is very legal for one member of each team to be in the ring at the same time. Triple H tagged in, as did Gallows, they both went after BS but BS took both men down, getting Gallows into the corner with a chop then Triple H in the other side with a headbutt. Triple H tried to use a petigree but was tossed over the top rope. Miz and Punk tagged in, Punk working on the kneed of Triple H. Miz used a double axehandle on Triple H before turning his attention to Punk. Punk then got a large boot to the face from Triple H before Triple H closelined Miz. Punk used a low hesitation-style drop kick on Miz getting a near fall. Miz used a jawbreaker on Punk and it looked like Miz had the whole thing sewn up but Serrina from the outside pulled Miz off the ring apron. HBK tagged in with a series of forearms to Punk. HBK used a kick to the chin on Punk then got a pin. Gallows and Punk were eliminated. BS then used a double closeline on DX. BS used a headbutt and a closed fist on HBK before standing on him. HBK was in the corner but managed to use two boots on BS, then BS used a sideslam on HBK for a near fall. Miz tagged in, working on HBK with a series of kicks but only got a two count. Miz then used a hang man on him. BS tagged back in and walked into a kick to the chin knocking him down. Miz and Triple H both tagged in. Miz took a few knees to the face before a spinebuster, but HBK blindtagged himself in and the Miz snuck a win with a roll up. Yes the win was a clean win, Big Show and Miz are the new tag team champs.

I think you guys need to do something about the number of tag team belts, poor Miz has to carry three now. Miz's music says he came to play, oh I wouldn't mind playing with Miz.

Divas match. Gail Kim vs Jillian. The match was underway when the camera swung on them, Gail Kim was tossed out of the ring then right back and Jillian went for a cover but Gail Kim powered out. Jillian went for a top rope move landing on Gail Kim for another near fall. Gail Kim turned it around with a long leg to the jaw while holding onto Jillian's arm in a version of a necktie then went for the pin getting the win. Gail Kim advances to the Elimination chamber match against Mayres at the pay per view. Maryes was on headset for this very short match and made a comment about how the behavour over on Smackdown by the Mcool and Layla has been unprofessional and uncalled for. Finally, someone who is saying it like it is.

Jerry Springer will be next week's guest host. Really? He's still kicking around? I remember watching his show 20 years ago in college.

Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton. Orton pushed Rhodes and they circled each other for a few minutes, before Orton kicked him. Rhodes used a drop kick going for a quick cover. They then used a collar tie up Orton breaking it with a series of closed punches before Rhodes used a grapevine (they still call it that right?) slamming Orton to the mat. Rhodes was then hung up on the top rope landing hard on the mat. Sheamus came into the ring for a second just enough to grab the attention of Orton giving Rhodes the chance to use his crossroads for the win.

Sheamus then got back into the ring after the match was over and used a boot to the skull. Good to see that Sheamus vs Orton is still a feud. Rhodes slid into the ring with a chair protecting Orton for a moment.

Ted DiBiase vs John Cena. Cena jumped DiBiase before the bell, tossing him out of the ring. He then ran him into the rails. There was no bell the match never started, but Cena had the SFU on him outside the ring causing DiBiase to tap. The move looked like it was not applied proper and DiBiase looked actually hurt.

Cena then called out Batista. McMahon came out instead. The show ended on Bret Hart running into the ring beating down everyone.

They announced that in a few weeks time, ECW will no longer exist. There is a new show being planned to replace it. TNX (?) Not too sure if we'll have access to this new show or not, but if we do, will have a review for it.

Smakdown Results Feb 5th 2010

My Thoughts on TNA Impact for Feb 4th 2010 part 2

I know I said at the end of the review on the weekend, I would be back with the missing pieces as soon as possible. It was available on the official Spike Tv website today. I have no idea what is happening with iTunes Canada. So this week's column is going to be a bit of a stitch up. The missing pieces will be in Blue.

It seems we opened the show with another qualifying round in the 8card stud tournament and it was Brutus Magnus vs Mr. Anderson. Anderson went right for Brutus with a knee lift. Brutus fought out of it with a series of punches. Anderson then kicked the knee out from under Brutus before whipping him hard into the turnbuckle. Brutus did manage to fight back with a half necktie takedown. Anderson used an eye rake then his trademark mic check for the win.

Team 3D vs Hernandez and the evil druid Matt Morgan for the titles. Hernandez and Brother Ray started it off with a collar tie up. It then went back and forth for a few moments with both men trying to block the others' punches before Hernandez got the slight advantage. Hernandez then ended up in the corner on the top turnbuckle where Brother Ray hit him with a vicious forearm. Devon and Morgan both tagged in. Devon had the match in this favour with a large splash from the far ropes knocking Morgan down flat. Morgan managed to get out of it and used a tornado closeline for a near fall. Quick tag to Hernandez who used a basic neck wrench on Devon. Both men went to the top turnbuckle with Devon using a flying headbutt on Hernandez. Both got the tags with Brother Ray sending a series of punches to Morgan. Brother Ray then used a large suplex getting the advantage. Devon came into the ring and they double teamed Morgan. Hernandez then came back into the ring only to get a double shoulder block from Team 3D Nasty Boys came down to the ring which gave Hernandez the advantage.Then Morgan got the win with his trademark carbon footprint

Jesse Neal vs Samoa Joe. Hey, I forgot this Neal guy even existed he hasn't been seen in so long. Neal did not wait for the bell, he jumped Joe as he was getting into the ring. Joe turned it around very quickly with a suplex-high collar tbone- Joe then pushed Neal into the corner and slapped a paylay on him. Neal tried to get it back in his favour with a thumb to the eye then he went to the second turnbuckle for a high risk move, but Joe walked away causing Neal to belly flop. Joe then used his trademark muscle buster for the win.

The Pope vs A.J. Styles in a non title match Pope got an arm bar on Styles The Pope was in the corner with Styles delivering chops to him. Pope slapped him then used a drop toe hold before starting to work on the arm. Styles countered it but it just was not enough. Pope used an interesting combo dance before a very high back body drop. Styles then had the advantage with a knife edge chop and a drop kick. He had Pope on the second rope putting pressure on his neck. Styles then used a snap suplex getting a near fall. Pope did get a few punches in before an inverted atomic drop and another near fall. Pope used a small package for the win.

Why the hell when you do a run in do you need to have the theme music? You Don't. A run in works so much better when you don't hear any theme music and you don't know the wrestler is there until he's popped up on the screen.

Another round in the 8 card stud tournament. Tomko vs Kurt Angle. Tomko got a big boot up knocking Angle down hard. Angle used a headbutt and a closeline to toss Tomko out of the ring. Once back in, Tomko put Angle in a quick snap-slam. Angle was shot shoulder first into the ring post. Tomko had him in the center of the ring on the mat before using a power slam. Tomko went to the top turnbuckle but was countered by Angle with a suplex knocking both men out. Angle managed to get up and slapped on two german suplexes before going for his angle slam. Angle used his trademark ankle lock forcing Tomko to tap out.

Tara vs Love. Tara won keeping her belt. Now you didn't really think I was going to break my rule did you? I have to say this thou, I am not a fan of either but Love looks like she's really improved in the last few months that she has been away. It will be interesting to see what she can do against someone like Hamada.

Mike Foley vs Kevin Nash. This is a no DQ hardcore match. Chaos and a mess in the ring is about all I have to say on this match. Nash managed to win this with a pin.

This was a very boring episode. Nothing new, nothing special and Bored Now.

Once again it's late and I had to go hunting online for it cause neither iTunes Canada nor the official Spike Tv website has it as of this posting (8:pm) I have to say I hate watching it this way as the picture is always half digitized and blurry. Much rather be able to download from iTunes Canada

Both got the tags with Brother Ray sending a series of punches to Morgan. Brother Ray then used a large suplex getting the advantage. ... I have no idea who won this because whoever up loaded it cut it off mid match and the next part they did was in the middle of AJ Styles. This is why I hate hunting it down on the internet.
We then seem to jump right into a match with A. J. Styles vs the Pope already happening. The Pope was in the corner with Styles delivering chops to him. Pope slapped him then used a drop toe hold before starting to work on the arm. Styles countered it but it just was not enough. Pope used an interesting combo dance before a very high back body drop. Styles then had the advantage with a knife edge chop and a drop kick. He had Pope on the second rope putting pressure on his neck. Styles then used a snap suplex getting a near fall.

Whoever uploaded this to the net they uploaded the Knock Outs championship match twice.
Tara vs Love. Tara won keeping her belt. Now you didn't really think I was going to break my rule did you? I have to say this thou, I am not a fan of either but Love looks like she's really improved in the last few months that she has been away. It will be interesting to see what she can do against someone like Hamada.

Mike Foley vs Kevin Nash. This is a no DQ hardcore match. Chaos and a mess in the ring is about all I have to say on this match. Nash managed to win this with a pin.

I will be back at some point this week with whatever the missing pieces are once it's either available on iTunes Canada or Spike Tv official website.

Raw: 2/1/2010

We open with the Return of Edge who shocked everyone by winning the Royal Rumble.

This should make for an interesting Heel vs Heel vs Heel situation. Sheamus then came out with a bit of a hair cut and a sunburnt nose.

The first match was an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. Cena vs Cody Rhodes. Rhodes started off strong with a series of fists to the face then got Cena in the corner before using a side Russian leg sweep for a near fall. Rhodes then used a hangman for another near fall. Cena turned it around with a flying forearm before using his trademark Ucan'tCme. Rhodes used a short closeline and slam for yet another near fall. Cena won with an attitude adjustment. He goes on to the Elimination Chamber match at the next ppv.

Next round in the qualifying match. Swagger vs Triple H. Swagger turned this into a mat match right off with a submission move before Triple H broke the hold with the ropes. Triple H used a high knee to knock Swagger out of the ring. Getting back into the ring, Swagger used a short DDT to turn things around for a near fall. Triple H then tossed Swagger out of the ring again. Back in the ring Triple H used a short knee for another two count before putting Swagger face fist in the turnbuckle. Triple H won with a petagree. Triple H goes on to the Elimination Chamber match.

Next round in the qualifying match. Randy Orton vs HBK. It started with a collar tie up with HBK getting the advantage with a series of chops. HBK was working on the neck and head of Orton. Both were in and out of the ring a few times before HBK went to the top rope for a cross body. Orton got back in control with a backbreaker before using a standing drop kick but only got a near fall. Orton used a side chinlock slowing HBK down. Orton used a roll up to get the win. Cleanly. Orton goes on to the Elimination Chamber match.

Next round Mark Henry vs Ted DiBiase. It started with a collar tie up and was all Mark Henry for the first few minutes. DiBiase from outside the ring slammed Henry arm first into the ring post then used a drop toehold sending him into the steps before getting back into the ring. He continued to work on the arm of Henry but only got a two count. DiBiase won with a pin. He goes on to the Elimination Chamber match.

The final round Big Show vs Kofi Kingston. Kingston started with a few kicks but found himself sliding across the mat on his butt to land in the corner. Big Show used a headbutt then before tossing Kingston again across the ring. Big Show got caught on the ropes giving Kingston the chance to use a drop kick sending him off the ring apron. Back in the ring Big Show used a spear to get the advantage once again. Kingston used a series of drop kicks to get Big Show flat on the mat but only got a two count. Big Show hit the ref and was DQed. Kingston goes on to the Elimination Chamber match.

The Elimination Chamber match at the next ppv now looks like this Sheamus vs Cena vs Kingston vs Triple H vs DiBiase vs Orton.

Bret Hart came back once again to confront the rumours.
