Montage of Bischoff, Hardy, and Dixie saga. Uh, cool i guess.
Rob ( I'd get cut by Steve Kiern in FCW ) Terry comes out. This guy was trained by The Dudley's, and I know Hogan's archaic brain had to see him and say, " When my back gets better, we're gonna draw money brother, " but he's just AWFUL. Anyway, he wrestles Abyss ( they have booked him well in my opinion ) and I was reminded of Flair/Steamboat with all those edge of my seat near falls. Abyss is DQ'd for using the rail. I wonder how many rails are used at the hotel after the tapings? Anyway, the top heel can't pin the freak as that might hurt his heat for Mainia 50, when Hulk is ready to draw that money.
RVD (looking like he was in a house fire) limps to the ring and demands Abyss from Bischoff. E.B. gives the match to him for 10/10/10. Funny, Van Damn looks like Stan Hansen told him he would if he kept working that style. You gotta give those Michigan boys credit though, as they know how to sell.
Pope wants in the PPV main event, and tells Bischoff he's held back. He also calls E.B. a conman. Well, that is the truth. He was a commentator, and conned Ted Turner out of millions. Wrestling has always been based on a con, and I'd say E.B. is one of the best ever. After a skit he set up Pope vs Joe.
Lacey Von Erich flips out, which was cool to see she's learning. Even Velvet & Angelina kinda popped.
Jeremy Buck (the older looking one who could pass for a high school senior) goes against Chris Sabin. Max gets sent to detention for interfering by the Hebner kid. Sabin sold a neck injury, and gave Buck the whole match (guess I'm not the only one who doesn't buy The Young Bucks) then pins him with a roll. Max came back and they Orton syle DDT Sabin to get heat. They'll undoubtedly have a good match, but please bring Nigel & Brutus back.
Pope & Jarrett do TNA Reaction style promo's about being held back.
Velvet Sky & Lacey face El Gran Hamada & Taylor Wilde. Hamada gets some ass again. I think he wants to bukakke Taylor. Oh, that's right, it's not him it's his daughter. Anyway, Hamada & Lacey had some moments where two second generation wrestlers were in together, although not acknowledged by Tenay to my suprise. Yeah, I stopped looking at Velvet's ass for a minute, and it was clear that Hamada is the only one who could work with the WWE gals. Madison Rayne (who looked MUCH hotter in jeans) thumped Lacey with Tara's helmet. Taylor gets the win, and Angelina chases Madison. I don't care if they are Jaguar Yokota or not, their hot.
Dreamer & crew arrive. I hear Stevie is doing a fitness blog on TNA's website which is pretty cool, as he's never looked better and he's like my age.
Very nice Jesse Neal vignette. I wish the kid didn't do the mohawk gimmick, as it kind of negates the feel good gimmick. As a shoot from me, I do respect every man or woman who served our country.
Dixie's in between Tazz & Tenay! Oh Boy, there's gonna be a major shake-up! What's that, the 27th in company history?
Joe chokes out Pope in what could have been a nice match, but was marred by Jarrett, Nash, and Sting's involvement. Unlike other Indy guys stepping up, Joe comes across like he belongs there (besides the bad body, but that's just his genetics) and he did work a hell of a match vs Kobashi. I'm a fan, I just hate his look, as mainstream casual money spenders would never buy him as a top guy.
Christy Hemme (who did Playboy in the fed, man that seems like eons ago) chases down Dreamer & crew, and he tries to put over lethal lockdown.
Mr. Anderson does the self intro, as Bob Holly is sitting somewhere with a shotgun and Anderson's picture on the target. You know, I give Anderson credit for balls. I heard he walked up to Brock Lesnar in a gym, and asked him how to be a wrestler. That's Chael Sonnen level confidence...Anyhow, he calls Kurt Angle to the ring and does a half shoot interview, as does Angle. Problem is, they didn't mention Jeff Hardy who's in the match with them? Makes sense.
They then show a Flair/Fortune pep talk, and they tell Naitch he's been "iced?" Seeing a 60 year old man kneel down and chug the vodka based drink is either pathetic or awesome??? Either way, good luck being The Governor of North Carolina someday.- See Linda Mcmahon
Nash & Sting try to get Pope to "snitch," which aint cool on the street. They then bring up Miss Tessmacher! I knew there was a reason they fly her in.
My old pal Sabu (who I think is 43 now?) takes on A.J. Styles in a ladder match. Tenay and Tazz put it over as a dream match. Maybe if Sabu was in his prime, and managed by TR SHOCK! It is, what it is. A bunch of dudes from both factions interefered, and James Storm ends up smashing a gimmicked bottle over Sabald's head and pushes A.J.'s ass ( literally ) up the ladder to get man advantage in Lethal Lockdown. A.J. is phenomenal. Sabu is still great for his age, but Razor vs HBK it wasn't.
RVD & Jeff Hardy (The Rock Stars) talk, then Abyss kills Hardy. He carries Jeff to the ring, which prompts RVD to come down and get his ass kicked. One thing that can't be denied is that Prince Justice (Abyss) from Deep South Wrestling has come a LOOOOONNNNGGGG WAY and can cut a great promo for a monster character. He's about to "slaughter" the fallen rock stars, and of all people Ink Inc. run him off. So much for him being scary if a rookie and a 170lber can stop him with two dropkicks? Oh well, I got to see Velvet Sky again.
