Hard Justice was one of your best shows ever man. The Main Event was good, sucks that Joe lost, but still okay that Booker retained. Nice to see Lethal win his match, as i cant stand Sonjay anymore. He's just annoying. His entire gimmick makes me want to punch a baby. So glad AJ won, and extremely happy to see Bernard and Tomko retain the titles, in what im sure as indeed the Match of the Night. I'd love to see AJ get a Main Event push now. Nice to see Jarrett back, hope you do big, big things with him in the near future. Nice to see Creed retain as well. overall a very good show. Cant wait to see the fallout on IMPACT.
Reply to my WWE '07 - '08 please?

All looking good, looks like you are inspired by the mexico show holding another show, not a fan on Kaz so a X title push is a no no for me, hopefully you don't sign all those guys maybe a lower card tallent not top ROH stars, don't like Creed as champ to fast, same with Bernard and Tomko also not a fan, Angle/AJ in a one on one match why? rather a gimmick match but a A star rating sounds good, sucks booker as Champion, don't like any of your champs part from Gail, hopefully we see some title changes soon, keep it up, good luck

Sorry for my lateness, but here in my reply to Hard Justice! Hope you enjoy it, and when I bump it up, I'd appreciate a reply to my TNA 2007 if you'd be able to.
The opener was good. I'm never going to like Consequences Creed, but you're making his title reign mean something, which is a great thing. I am happy Petey wasn't made to look like a noob, and I look forward to when Creed finally drops the belt, because if you keep building him like this, it's going to be meaningful. Boring sums things up well, I've never been a fan of TNA's Knockout's division, but I'm at least happy to see Gail Kim win the match. Kong attacking is good. Tomko is one of my favorites, but I hate Bernard, so I'm 50/50 on them winning the titles. Glad Tomko got the pin, and hope the title reign isn't too long.
I liked Lethal/Dutt. I could just picture Lethal nailing ihm with the hot dog in my head perfectly, and laughed out loud. Too bad it was squash like, but it may work better like that for storyline purposes if the feud continues on. If not, I like Lethal better than Dutt, so I still don't really care. The double countout finish of Jarrett/Cage is probably for the best. The knee of Angle has me worried, but AJ Styles winning the match was pretty awesome.
I was really happy that Booker T retained his championship, I hope Joe and Booker are done now, and Booker goes on to feud with someone else, though I don't know who.
Awesome show, great write up, everything was a good length, and well written, and it was easy to tell you put a lot of effort into Hard Justice, and it paid off man. You truly have found your niche and have become a great member of this board. Congratulations on keeping up the great stuff in your best diary to date.

TNA Impact August 14, 2008The starts with a short TNA Cross the Line promotional video, followed by a quick Hard Justice recap video showing the highlights of Sunday’s pay per view. After the videos, TNA comes on the air with the camera going over the screaming fans in the Impact Zone as the Impact theme song roars through the soundstage. A few seconds past before the camera settles on Mike Tenay and Don West at the announce table. The two go over the events of Hard Justice and then run down what will happen tonight, including the main event which is Samoa Joe’s last chance at regaining the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, X Division action, and of course, the lovely knockouts. We start with tag team action. TNA Tag Team Championships: Giant Bernard & Tomko def. LAXThis was an awesome opener, the best I have ever seen on Impact in ages. These two teams have great chemistry together. The crowd, who also noticed the incredible chemistry, cheered the entire match. For the most part, the match was back and forth action, and very aggressive wrestling. However, the match was lacking speed. In other words, the match was slow and at some parts, boring. The only time the match picked up in pace was when Homicide was in. Still, Bernard and Tomko have troubles with speed, so it did not work out. Overall, this was an awesome match, possibly a match of the year candidate. Tomko and Bernard would retain the titles when they hit Homicide with the Magic Killer. The two stayed in the ring celebrated until the Motor City Machine Guns interrupted them and attacked the two. Both teams brawled until security came out and broke up the fight. My guess is MCMG wants the straps. Rating: B+ Backstage, Crystal Louthan stood waiting for the Motor City Machine Guns. Finally, they came in and Crystal just started to bombard them with questions like, “Alex, Chris, what was the reason for the attack?” Shelley answered saying, “Well Crystal, to sum it up, me and Sabin want those tag team belts. You see, Chris and I have been fighting for those since we became a team. What do you say guys, give us that shot!” The two walked off very confident, but they should not get their hopes up yet. Meanwhile, after a short commercial break, Gail Kim is standing in the middle of the ring and a microphone in hand. Kim says, “At Hard Justice, most of you saw the brutal attack by Awesome Kong. She ruined my chances of winning the TNA Women’s Championship. Now, Kong, I want you too come out face to face! Let’s get it on right now!” Kim drops the microphone and gets in a fighting stance; soon, Awesome Kong’s theme music would begin. Kong walks down the ramp and into the ring, and stares down Gail. However, before any fighting can happen, Jim Cornette’s theme music hits and out he comes, looking pissed off more than ever. Cornette grabbed the microphone that Kim dropped and proceeded to say, “You two are getting on my last nervous! Ever since I made this Knockouts division, all of you two have been doing is getting at each other’s throats. Therefore, to settle it for once and for all, next week on Impact, you two will face off, one on one!” The crowd goes crazy as Kong and Kim continue to stare at each other. Cheerleader Melissa def. Angelina LoveThis was a good match, but it was rather quick. Most of the match was Melissa just manhandling Love, but was not necessarily a squash. In fact, Love dominated the start of the match, but at about the six-minute mark, Melissa received momentum from the crowd and from then on, Love had very little offense. However, there were a lot of near falls, and interference from Velvet Sky, which gave Love a small advantage. Overall, this was a decent match, considering it is a women’s bout. The only real problem was the lack of chemistry between the two, other than that it was fine. The match ended around nine-minutes when Melissa hit the Kudo Driver. After the match, Cheerleader Melissa celebrated for a little bit before she grabbed a microphone. She issued an open challenge for next week, with the title on the line. Rating: C+ In the locker room, Jeremy Borash interviews Samoa Joe, Booker T’s opponent in the main event tonight. Borash starts saying, “Joe, in the main event tonight, you have your last chance against Booker T, and TNA world title is on the line, what are your thoughts?” Samoa Joe looks round and replies, “Jeremy, this match means a lot to mean. Not only is it my last chance against Booker T, but my last chance to regain what is rightfully mine. I’m going to go out there and give it my all, I am going to destroy Booker T. Booker, you better watch out, cause Joe’s gonna kill you!” Robert Roode def. Eric YoungThis was an ok match up, nothing too special though. These two have some chemistry with each other, but not much, enough to put on a good match at least. In my opinion, Roode had the match won about half way through, but Young did put up a good fight. The only real problem in the match was how dead the crowd was, they just were not into the match at all. Nevertheless, this match was average, maybe a little lower, but it was random, so you could not expect much from it. After eight minutes, Roode won the match when he hit a powerful Northern Lariat. After the match, James Storm, for some odd reason, came out and attacked Young, along with Roode. The two looked at each other and raised hands, what is going on here? Rating: C- After the match, the camera went backstage where Alex Koslov, Doug Williams, and Tyson Dux stood together talking about their game plan for their upcoming match. However, a curious Jeremy Borash interrupted their planning. The three looked at Borash for a second until Borash broke the silence stating, “Guys, up next your facing TNA X Division’s top stars Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, and Kaz, your thoughts?” Koslov says, “Our thoughts? We have none. You see, we are here to dominate TNA. We are here to show America that Russia, England, and Canada are not jokes. You Americans look down on us, but actually you cannot see us because your bellies are too large. It’s time to reclaim glory!” The group of three walks off humming some kind of anthem as Borash looks at them in confusion. Alex Koslov, Doug Williams, Tyson Dux def. Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, and KazThis was an amazing match, the match of the night with out a doubt. This match was one of the most entertaining matches I have ever seen; there was so much highflying and technical wrestling, that it was surreal. The crowd would agree, as they were into the entire match, start to finish. They were cheering so much; the wrestlers had to go beyond. However, there is always something wrong with a match, and it was the interference of Sonjay Dutt. At about the 15-minute mark, Dutt came running out and attacked Lethal, behind the ref’s back of course. The problem was that the interference was botched, and Dutt hurt Lethal bad, he had to have medical attention after the match. Anyways, the match continued and it was a blockbuster. Williams would get the win for his team when he hit Creed with a Chaos Theory. Koslov, Williams, and Dux celebrated, but after they left the ring, more went down. Kaz and Creed were still in the ring, with Kaz standing above Creed. As Creed got up, Kaz stared. When Creed turned around to leave, Kaz caught him by surprise from behind with a German Suplex. The crowd was in shock. All of a sudden, Kaz betrayed the X Division champion. Kaz walked off shaking his head. Rating: A- Backstage, Crystal Louthan is standing with AJ Styles. Crystal says, “AJ, after your match at Hard Justice, are tensions between you and Kurt Angle finally fading?” Styles replies with, “As of right now, they are a little. However, tensions are building between Karen and me. She thinks she can come back to me, but after what she has done, she is simply just using me. She is using me so Kurt can catch me off guard and attack me, just like what happened to Consequences Creed. Karen, until you prove to me that you really love me, then we have to be apart.” Before the main event, a video hyping the match and feud between Booker T and Samoa Joe plays. TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Samoa Joe def. Booker TThis was an excellent match up, but it had a few flaws. These two have lots of chemistry, but they seemed a little off tonight, they were having some communication problems, which led to a good number of botches. However, the fans were really into the match, which helped the two continue without being lazy. There is not much to talk about with this match, other than it was an average bout. It was also back and forth action, with no one a step ahead. To say the least, it was an even match up. The match lasted about 15-17 minutes, which at about the 14 minute mark, in my opinion, ran its course. Anyways, the ending was awesome. It started when Joe locked on the Coquina Clutch, but Booker T countered and somehow got into a Bookend position. He hit the move, but Joe kicked out at the two count. The two got up and exchanged chops until Joe got Booker in the Muscle Buster position, and proceeded to hit the move for the win. Joe celebrated in the ring, holding up the championship, as Booker T looked on in disbelief. Rating: B

Good tag team opener, this Bernard/Tomko team is pretty grand. Seemed like a decent womens match, nice that Melissa beat Love. Roode vs. Young sounded mildly disapointing. But that six man tag team match sounded fantastic. Good TNA title match, Booker loses the gold, awesome.

Why fire Russo? Global Impact is gonna be awesome, I can't wait to read that. And I hope that the suspensions (if any) aren't the ones that everyone wants, like Steiner etc.

Great impact man, plenty of detail which is great. I like Bernard/Tomko as a team and MCMG getting involved with a feud is great. Nothing much to say on Roode/Young and the Knokcouts match, bit of a sleeper match. The 6 man sounded great, and well written and I knew Joe would obviously win.
Interesting about you firing Russo though, wonder who'll replace him

Just hearing about Russo getting fired is awesome, thank you. I really hope you manage to bring in Claudio Castagnoli, as it would be awesome, and I could see him working well with some of the people in TNA.
Looking forward to some more of this diary.

TNA Impact August 21, 2008TNA Impact begins with a TNA Cross the Line promotional video, followed by a video recap of last week. The camera comes on, going over the screaming TNA fans in the Impact Zone. The camera settles on Mike Tenay and Don West, who welcome the fans watching via the television to TNA Impact. They go over what went down last week and then what the run down for tonight is, including tag team action between Motor City Machine Guns and the Tag team champions, answers from Kaz, Knockout action, and last but not least, the main event, Booker T versus an opponent of Samoa Joe’s choosing. Consequences Creed def. DeliriousThis was a great opener, best I have seen in ages. The entire match was fast pace, aggressive, and back and forth action. These two displayed amazing highflying maneuvers, some that have never been seen before, in America that is. Anyways, the match later about eight minutes, and in my opinion, should have lasted much longer than that. The only problem in this match was the miss-communication. Other than that, this was a solid match, and definitely, a fan favorite, they were cheering that entire time. Creed would pick up the win with his signature Creed-D-T. After the match, Creed called out Kaz. Rating: B Creed stayed in the ring after his match, signaling for a microphone. He would receive one and would proceed to call Kaz out, saying, “Kaz, last week you humiliated me. After our match, you brutally attacked me, but for what reason? Come out here and tell me! Face to face!” Creed drops the microphone and walks around the ring, awaiting Kaz’s entrance music. After a few seconds, the sound of Kaz’s music went through the Impact Zone, and out he came. The crowd booed the crap out of him, by the way. When he made it to the ring, Creed yelled, “Why did you do it? Why did you do it, Kaz?” Kaz picked up the microphone to reply, he said, “Jealousy, creed. You see, I have been in TNA for many years and they have never given me that title shot I deserve. However, they give you, a rookie, the title shot after, what, a few months in the promotion. That right there gets me pissed off! Now, I want a shot at that title, at No Surrender, in an Ultimate X Match!” Kaz hands the microphone over to Creed and he shrugs. Creed proceeds to say, “You know what, it’s on!” The crowd goes crazy in the Impact Zone as Kaz nods. AJ Styles def. Curry ManThis was a nice match; both of these wrestlers are familiar with each other, which really helped the match. To the fan’s surprise, this was not a squash; actually, this lasted about 10 minutes, which is long for a random match. Most of the match was back and forth action, with a fast pace, and a lot of highflying. However, the only thing that really bothered me was the lack of crowd reaction. Because the match had no hype, the match was not amusing to them, no matter how good the wrestling was. Anyways, these two have lots of chemistry together, and Curry Man really brought out the old AJ Styles in this match. Styles would end up victorious when he hit the King of Spice with the Styles Clash. Rating: C+ After the match, Styles grabbed a microphone and said, “Karen! I want you to come out here and talk face to face with me!” Styles walked around the ring before the entrance of the beautiful Karen Angle. She quickly came down to the ring, with a microphone of her own, and said, “Ok, AJ, I’m out here. What do you want?” Styles looked at her and said, “Karen, last week I made it clear that I thought you were with Kurt. In fact, I still think that. But I think if you tell me face to face, we could maybe get this over with, what do you say?” Karen pulled the microphone to her face and said, “AJ, I think that is very manly of you, so I’ll be honest. Kurt and me are over! We have nothing to do with each other; I want to be with you know!” Styles replied saying, “I want to be with you too, but…” When Styles was about to finish his sentence, a vicious Kurt Angle came out and attacked Styles! He hit a few Olympics Slams and then walked over to Karen; the two stared at each other. However, the staring was interrupted by the laughs of Karen, the two all of a sudden kissed. The crowd went crazy, while Styles looked in disbelief, still in pain from the attack. Karen grabbed the microphone and said, “You know what, I was with Kurt all along!” Styles looked and yelled, “How could you, I thought you loved me!” Before the next match, a quick promotional video for TNA Xplosion, this debuts September 6, 2008 only on CMT at 9:00 PM. Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim went to a No ContestIn my opinion, this was the best knockouts match I ever seen since they began the division. These two have so much chemistry it is not even funny. The match lasted about eight minutes, but it should have gone to ten, because this was just amazing, and I bet you the fans in the Impact Zone would agree, because they were going nuts. The entire match was back and forth action, but Kim just looked like she was in the driver seat, just barely though. Nevertheless, this was just and excellent match up, four stars indeed. However, the only thing I did not like was the ending. The two were just wrestling, when Cheerleader Melissa made her way to the ring. The two stopped and stared, but continued to wrestle. However, within minutes, both Kong and Kim began to focus more on Melissa; they clearly want that belt. Well, after awhile, Melissa began to taunt both of them, making them even madder then ever! Finally, the two were fed up with Melissa’s mine games and the two attacked her, forcing the referee to call the contest due to the chaos. Before the women could do anything dangerous, security broke them up, and then out came Jim Cornette. Cornette screamed, “Ladies! On the other hand, should I call you girls, because you sure are acting like them? Well, since you three cannot stop getting at your throats, I have schedule the first match for No Surrender, which will be a triple threat for the Women’s championship! Good day!” The three looked at each other with grins on their face. Rating: C- Before the next commercial break, Cornette walked over to the announcers table, where he joined Mike Tenay and Don West. Cornette made the announcement for two more matches at No Surrender, which were, Kurt Angle versus AJ Styles in a last man standing match; and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, which will be Samoa Joe versus the winner of next weeks main event, which is a fatal four way featuring Jeff Jarrett, Booker T, Christian Cage, and a unknown wrestler. Impact returned from the commercial break with bang, as Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt were brawling all around the backstage. After a few minutes of fighting, security finally broke up the two, and Dutt’s head was busted open. To finish the segment off, Jim Cornette came in. Cornette asked, “What the hell is wrong with you two! I come in from stopping three girls from fighting, and I see two little kids getting at it! What is the problem?” Lethal said, “Oh yeah, the problem is this guy here is STILL trying to steal my women, even after I tell him she is mine and we are engaged. He just won’t listen.” Cornette looks at Dutt, expecting an answer, which was, “Well you see sir, Val told me she had no relationship with him, he is clearly a lire.” Lethal, disgusted by that statement, jumps at Dutt, only to be stopped by security. Cornette looks at the two and says, “Well, I guess the only way to settle this is a match, at No Surrender. However, in the meantime, I will go see Val and get the REAL answer out of you. Well, see you two later. Security, get them out of here!” Motor City Machine Guns def. Giant Bernard & TomkoThis was a decent match up, but nothing like their confrontation from a few weeks ago. The two teams just seemed a little off, as if they were being lazy. However, the fan appreciation was high; they just would not stop cheering. Too bad that did not make the quality any better, but still, it was decent. Nevertheless, this match was one sided for the most part, with Bernard and Tomko dominating, but nowhere near squash, MCMG had their fair share of offense. The big problem with this match, aside from the laziness, was the pace. The two teams were moving very slow; it should have been 10 time faster. The match lasted about eight minutes, which was fine, and MCMG won when Alex Shelley hit the Shell Shock. After the match, MCMG reminded Giant Bernard and Tomko about their challenge, which Bernard and Tomko accepted after. Rating: C- Backstage, Jeremy Borash is standing with the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Booker T. Borash says, “Booker, up next, you face a man, who your foe, Samoa Joe chooses, you must be nervous.” Booker looks at Borash and replies, “Jeremy, a common man would be nervous, but I am no common man. You see, I am ready. I have been watching all of Samoa Joe’s close friends, from AJ Styles to Christian Cage, and I feel I am ready for whoever comes my way.” Booker walks off as Borash says, “Well there you have it, the former champion Booker T” Booker T def. Kevin NashThis was horrible match; the worst one I have seen on Impact in ages. Back in the day, these two could put on magnificent main events, but now since Nash has aged and is not as quick on his feet as he used to be, the quality and chemistry has gone down considerably. However, the crowd was really into the battle of these two powerhouses, cheering for Nash the entire time, and watching Samoa Joe, who was at ringside the entire match. For the most part, this match was back and forth action, really slow and boring. The only exciting part was the end, which involved interference from Samoa Joe. Kevin Nash was down, and Booker T was taunting the crowd, building up some heat. The referee was checking on Nash, when all of a sudden, Samoa Joe came running in and hit a hard lariat, and a Muscle Buster. However, even with the advantage, Nash would lose when Booker T rolled him up. After the match, Samoa Joe and Booker T went to the middle of the ring, staring right into each other’s eyes. Rating: D

Impact seemed like a good show. Very nice opener to begin with, like that Delirious made an appearance just to job to the almighty X-Division Champion, Consequences Creed. I like that heel Kaz has returned. AJ and Curry Man, is AJ Styles heel then? Either way it sounded a good match, but those darn TEW rankings are strict as hell, huh. Liked the angle with Angle, Karen and AJ. I feel that this feud should end soon. Kim and Kong have had alot of good matches, and this was one of them now you made it happen. Still like the feud with Lethal and Dutt. Seemed a good tag team match, I can't really believe the Motor City Machine Guns defeating a big guy team such as Bernard and Tomko. Seemed like a meh main event, but a good hype up at the same time.

TNA Impact August 28, 2008The show begins with a TNA Cross the Line video, which featured clips from the new TNA Impact video game. Followed by that video was another one, which was a recap of last week’s Impact. The TNA Impact theme plays as the camera goes around the Impact Zone showing the screaming TNA fans. After a few seconds, the camera settled on Mike Tenay and Don West, who welcomed the TNA fans who were watching the show via television. The quickly go over what happened last week, then they go over what will go on tonight, including, tag team action, X Division fatal four way, six-man tag team action, and the main event, which is a fatal four way match, winner takes on Samoa Joe at No Surrender. Beautiful People def. Roxxi Laveaux & SalinasThis was a decent way to open the show, but the crowd was dead the entire time. For the most part, this match was full of back and forth action, but you could tell the Beautiful People were in the drivers seat. Nevertheless, for a random match up, it was good. The only problem I had with this match was Salinas; the women should not be wrestling. She should be posing for some magazine instead; she has no talent what so ever. Other than that, I would say this was an average, should have been better though, and I would have much rather seen ODB in there wrestling. The match ended at about the seven-minute mark when Angelina Love hit the Lights Out on Salinas. After the match, the Beautiful people pulled out two paper bags, with a women’s face drawn on it. The two proceeded to put the bags on the heads of Laveaux and Salinas. What is up with that? Rating: C- Backstage, Crystal Louthan is standing with Kurt Angle and Karen Angle. Louthan starts it off by saying, “Kurt Angle, last week on Impact it, Jim Cornette told everyone about the last man standing match between you and AJ Styles at No Surrender, is this what you have been waiting for ever since you and Styles became foes?” Angle replied with, “Actually, Crystal, this is what I have been waiting for my entire life. I have always wanted to take on Styles in a last man-standing match, and now the time has come. Styles, at No Surrender, I will not surrender, you will. You see, Styles, I will do everything I can to make you go down for that 10 Count, even if that means killing you! You have stolen my wife, and you have torn my family apart. However, now that we are back together, it’s all about revenge!” Kaz def. Curry Man, Petey Williams, & Johnny DevineThis match clearly stole the show. There was a so much highflying it was not even funny. All four of these wrestlers put their best into this match, and it really showed. The entire match was fast pace, back and forth, aggressive action. The chemistry these four participants have is so amazing; it was almost a perfect contest. The match lasted about 10 minutes and in my opinion, should have last 20 minutes. Hell, they could have gone 24 hours and the fans would still be entertained. My only complaint was the lack of Johnny Devine. Yes, he was in a few spots, but for most of the match, he was the lone man out. Nevertheless, this was definitely a blockbuster performance and should be on a best of DVD in the future. Kaz would pick up the win when he hit Williams with the Flux Capacitator. After the match, Kaz called out the X Division champion, Consequences Creed. Creed came out and began to brawl with Kaz, until security and Jim Cornette came out and broke up the chaos. Cornette said, “Well, since you two can’t stop fighting, I guess there is no other choice then to make the match at No Surrender an Ultimate X Match, one of the most dangerous matches in TNA. Well, have fun!” Rating: A- In the locker room, Jeremy Borash sat down with one of the participants in the fatal four way main event, Christian Cage. Borash said, “Christian, tonight you go up against three other men, all of which are trying to get a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, your thoughts?” Christian replies with, “Well, I know that there is a slim chance of me winning, especially with three other men in the ring. However, I am just going to go out there with positive thoughts. You see, ever since I lost the belt, I have been trying to grasp another title shot, and here it is, right in my face. In order to get it, I have to give it my all, and that is what I am going to do, go out there and win. LAX def. Rock N’ Rave InfectionThis was like most other tag team match, with one team a step ahead for most of the time, which was LAX. From the start of the match to the end, LAX dominated the match, but it wasn’t a squash as Rock N’ Rave got a lot of offense in, including some near falls. The crowd was into the beginning, but at about the halfway mark, they just lost interest, the match became a tad boring. However, a narrow escape woke them up at the eight minute mark, when Rock N’ Rave’s Jimmy Race hit Homicide with his finisher, the Move that Rocks the World. Luckily, Homicide kicked out at the two count, just barely though. Anyways, the match went to ten minutes before Homicide hit Rave with a Da Gringo Killa while Hernandez hit a botched Border Toss. They both got the pin. Rating: C After the match, Jeremy Borash had a chance to talk to Jay Lethal about his match at No Surrender against Sonjay Dutt. Borash said, “Lethal at No Surrender you have another match against a former friend in Sonjay Dutt. Do you think this could be the last time you meet?” Lethal said, “You know what, I don’t really care about if the match at No Surrender will be our last meeting. All I care about is So Cal Val’s feelings for me. Right now, I am trying to find her, but so far, my search has not gone well. However, I hired Shark Boy to look for her, he should be back…wait there he is. Shark Boy, did you find anything out?” Shark Boy said, “You bet your ass I did. But, I think you’re going to be shocked.” Lethal replied saying, “Well, what did you find?” Shark Boy answered, “This is going to be shocking, but I saw Sonjay and Val talking privately.” Lethal looked at Shark Boy as if he just pooped his pants, he then walked away quietly as Shark Boy and Jeremy Borash looked at each other. Alex Koslov, Doug Williams, & Tyson Dux def. Motor City Machine Guns & Eric YoungThis was simply just a fill match, but it was still awesome. The match was back and forth, but near the end, the Anti-American team just started to dominate. However, MCMG and Young stood their ground and never gave up. Speaking of never giving up, the fans never did on their quest to give MCMG and Young momentum during their hard times in this match. Nevertheless, their cheering and “USA” chants did not work wonders as the Anti-Americans just ate up the chants and boos and made momentum. Well, the match ended at about the fifteen-minute mark when Koslov hit the Soviet Strike on Young. After the match, Giant Bernard and Tomko rushed to the ring and attacked the Motor City Machine Guns, brutally assaulting them. However, security was ready and came out after 30 seconds of brawling. However, the anti-Americans stayed in the ring, with their leader Alex Koslov on the microphone, he said, “Americans, you think you can play games with us by chanting ‘USA, USA’ they don’t work. Instead, they give us more anger, which we use to destroy our opponents. In addition, it makes us stronger, and larger. You see, we have recruited a new member from Iran. He is as pissed off at this country than all of us; you will see his awesome power next week at this same time when we take out next victims!” Rating: C+ Before the next segment, a promotional video for Bound for Glory plays. Meanwhile, in the locker room, Jeremy Borash sat down and had a word with another participant in the fatal four way, Jeff Jarrett. Borash asked, “Jarrett, if you win the fatal four way tonight, you will get a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, your thoughts?” Jarrett answered, “Well JB, my thoughts are just like Christian’s. You see, ever since I lost my title, I have wanted another shot. However, with by absence and all, I was unable to get one. However, now I have one, and I am going to take advantage of that. You see, I am going to go out there and dominate my opponents, and show all of them the real Jarrett, the real king of the mountain.” Followed by the interview, there is a video advertising No Surrender. Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviews the last known participant in the fatal four way up next, which is Booker T. Borash says, “Booker, I have talked to the other participants about this match and they have all given me the same answer, but I am waiting for a different answer, and I was hoping you could give me one. What are your thoughts on this fatal-four way?” Booker replies, “You see Jeremiah, this match isn’t about getting another title shot, but another shot at Samoa Joe. You see, he caught me by surprise and took my title. That belt should be on my waist not his! This is about revenge, not gold!” Borash said, “Well you guys heard it, Booker says that it is for revenge only. However, there is still one unknown participant, and you’ll find out next in the match!” Christian Cage def. Rhino, Jeff Jarrett, & Booker TThis was much better than last week’s main event, and I mean MUCH better. This was also the most aggressive match have seen ever in TNA, all of the participants were trying their hardest to get a shot at the championship. However, the only problem was the lack of chemistry, which was actually a surprise. All of these wrestlers have wrestled each other once in their career, but when together, the match just seemed kind of off. Something just was not right with the wrestling; there was a lot of miss-communication. Other than that, this was an above average contest. The crowd was into it, seeing some of wrestling’s top stars going at it, this should definitely bring in ratings. Anyways, the match lasted about eighteen minutes, which was long for a main event, but just right. Cage would win the match, and a title shot, when he hit Rhino with the Unpretier. After the match, Samoa Joe came out and went face to face with his future opponent; however, the camera caught a glimpse of a confrontation outside between Booker T and Jeff Jarrett, could trouble be brewing?

Impact seemed pretty decent in my opinion. Seemed a good opening womens tag team match, liked Beautiful People beating the slag and the baldy. The rating seemed very high. Awesome four way X-division match, I love that Kaz won, as well. A-, holy crap. Kaz and Creed in Ultimate X I'm sure about since Creed is more of a normal based match sorta guy. Average tag team match, despite LAX winning, I'd love a RNR Infection push. Seemed a good international six man tag match. Good main event, liked Cage winning. No Surrender is looking good, but who is the heel in TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Russo sucks. Bring in Raven!
