TNA Impact Wrestling 7/14: Live Thoughts and Recap on the Show

Welcome to my live thoughts and recap on Impact Wrestling. Refresh the page as the show continues.

 So Immortal sans Mr. Anderson starts off Impact (no surprise), and they brought chicks (Yes!).

So apparently Immortal is throwing Ken Anderson a party, cause no one showed up to his show two weeks ago.

Anderson's now making his entrance, and he's wearing a tuxedo rather than his usual casual clothing. Dressing nice is a great heat-magnet.

Am I the only one who noticed Hulk Hogan not having his trademark earring on.

So Sting's out, and rather than basing his character on The Joker, he completely copied it by bringing a poker table to the ring. 

But I don't care if he copied it, I'm loving it.

First Johnny Curtis copies Zack Ryder's jokes, and then Sting copies Curtis' 'Ace in the hole' shtick. Or maybe he stole it off Joker, I don't know crap about Batman.

After Sting does a great job of continuing his shtick, he suddenly leaves the ring after the lights shut off.

Props to TNA, for making an Immortal opening segment seem original.

Match one: Bobby Roode vs. Samoa Joe vs. The Pope

After a commercial break, we get a three-way match with Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, and the Pope. This is gonna be good.

Not quite the X Division contract match, but it is a damn entertaining match. All three of these wrestlers are great performers.

If you want me to give my bias opinion, I'm rooting for Bobby. He's the most underrated wrestlers in TNA right now.

After Samoa Joe is about to hit the Muscle Buster on Pope, Bobby Roode doesn't allow it to happen. Then he delivers a suplex to Joe.

The ending was great, as Pope got knocked out of the ring, and Roode somehow was able to reverse a rear-naked choke into a pin. Wonderful match.

The post-match looks like it will be a start of a new storyline for Joe, with him screaming at the referee.

 

TNA's back, and after Immortal discusses Sting, Jeff and Karen Jarrett make their entrances, and as I predicted, he reveals the Mexican Championship he won.

 

 

Does Hulk Hogan really think it's necessary to reveal himself semi-shirtless? He's a fifty something year old man. He still thinks he's a top star doesn't he.

Am I the only one who likes the Pope/Devon angle? It intrigues me for some odd reason. As long as Devon's sons don't betray their dad and join Pope's congregation.

Am I the only one loving the new video packages from TNA. Traveling live and showing these video packages are really gonna help elevate the company. They just need to get rid of the goofy TNA trademark.

Hulk Hogan once said he changed the name of the show because he was tired of answering the question "Does TNA stand for T*ts n A*ses". No I'm not kidding.

Match two: Austin Aries vs. Shannon Moore

As much as I like Austin Aries, that whole scratching shtick isn't doing much for him. He's not a cat.

 

I'll be honest, I absolutely hate Shannon Moore. Always have, always will. Just needed to get that out.

It's a very good match, and Aries is now stealing Shannon Moore's book, and while the ref was throwing it out, Aries hit Shannon with a chain, followed by a splash for the pin.

Why would Aries need to cheat to beat Shannon?

After the match, Abyss cuts a brief promo following with a clown attacking him. Either Hogan starting his face turn, or Kurt Angle is now a clown.

As a comment mentioned, clowns were up in the rafters during the opening segment, so my last statement is now invalid I guess.

I think and hope Tara is bringing back her tarantula. Cause the gift box matches the shape of the container the spider was held in.

It looks like the same clown attacked Scott Steiner, so it is looking like my Angle/Hogan theory may be right. Hogan would need a hair covering though, so maybe it is Angle after all.

Match three: Tara vs. Madison Rayne

I hope Tara is bringing back her tarantula. Cause the gift box matches the shape of the container the spider was held in.

How is Madison actually gonna believe that Tara is sorry, if she's completely dominating her. Especially her letting go her pin to beat her more.

I was right! It was a tarantula. But my theory of the box being the same is void.

After Rayne was distracted from Tara's tarantula, Tara hit the Widows Peak for the three-count

I can't help but laugh when Madison runs away from the tarantula.

So now it's clear Magnus started the revival group of the British Invasion. Are the teams heels or babyfaces?

So I guess Angle isn't the clown after all, cause he probably would only appear on the show as a clown. I hope I'm wrong.

What the hell is Angle talking about? He's beat Sting at least once. Shouldn't wrestlers remember who they've beaten?
