Nash and Abyss started a feud at the last PPV. Nash was beating down Foley and Abyss came out to make the save.

Also, Nash accepted the offer to collect the bounty last week.


Which brings me to my only comment about the show...

Why is Abyss wrestling Stevie? Part of the reason for putting a bounty on someone is so you don't have to fight them yourself. Not only are they in a match, but it's a throw away match on a TV taping.

Things like this are why TNA annoys me. Seriously, they're lucky I'm a die hard and they have some wrestlers I'm a fan of, because this is getting old.


Aside from that the show seems decent enough, a few stupid things, but nothing else too bad. At least a couple of the matches should be good... And Hamada roughing people up should be fun.

so whos in no surrender main event? this makes zero sense.

[Blackjack]

Is this two shows? There seems to be way to much for an impact. Hopefully its 2 shows or a show and a half. These matches must be like 3-6 minutes long if 1 show.

The person recapping the spoilers had no idea what was going on leading to the main event. Kurt Angle and Matt Morgan are already in the championship match. They had a little mini-tournament, with the final two participants also getting into the match. So, the main event is now Angle vs. Morgan vs. Sting vs. AJ Styles for the World Championship.

This is at least one and a half shows. Between yesterday and tonight they're taping 3 shows.

[American Phenom]

This set of tapings sound amazing. Finally younger guys are getting pushed. I love it.

[blu3blazer]

Here's the rest of the Impact spoilers that were taped last night. If someone wants to edit the title to show that all the spoilers in this thread will air in the next 3 weeks, that would be great!
