TNA Impact Spoilers 8/12, 8/19

[LtD73]

Same as the other 3/4 times ive done this thread.

I'll edit when they become available, theyre usually around raw time.

[Jorden]

Dark Match

1. Jesse Neal defeated Sam Shaw in 4:49. Shaw played the role of Lupus at the TNA Hardcore Justice pay-per-view. Neal won with a spear in a dark match.

TNA Impact Taping

Jeremy Borash came out to open the Impact taping.

1. Kurt Angle defeated A.J. Styles in 8:20. A.J. tapped out. Surprisingly, Angle does not retire this week (sarcasm).

2. Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne to win the TNA Knockouts Title in 3:45. Velvet Sky removed the biker chick's helmet, but she had a mask on.

Pepa of Salt-n-Pepa is in the front row.

3. Matt Morgan defeated D'Angelo Dinero and Mr. Anderson in a three-way match in 3:48. Anderson had Pope covered, but Morgan broke it up and pinned Pope himself.

Jeff Hardy's open challenge was accepted by (drumroll)... Shannon Moore. I hope someone else comes out. Really?

4. Jeff Hardy pinned Shannon Moore in 6:45. Hardy pinned Moore after hitting the Swanton. They hugged after the match and there was a nice OMEGA chant from the crowd.

Powell's POV: I wonder if the open challenge will lead to Shane "Hurricane" Helms challenging him on a future show?

5. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Beer Money in a best of three falls match for the TNA Tag Titles is up next.

[LtD73]

Shannon Moore?

Oooooooooooooh people are going to be pissed

[Jord]

For those wondering, Sam Shaw is a Team 3D Academy graduate, just like Jesse Neal, Rosie Lottalove and Rob Terry. Also, TNA need to calm the down on giving Angelina the belt. She's a what, 5 time champion now?

[P@ul]

What the hell is with the time on these matches?! The three-way went less than 4 minutes? AJ/Styles only went eight? Really TNA?

[LtD73]

Yeah Angelina is a 5 time KO Champ

[BV]

Shannon Moore? LOL. Short matches even on a show with no promos? Fail.

[Tylor]

5. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Beer Money in a best of three falls match for the TNA Tag Titles is in progress. Great first fall. Robert Roode pinned Alex Shelley following the DWI at 8:03.

The second fall saw Shelley pin Roode in 1:25 after the MCMG combo neckbreaker and splash off the top rope.

Chris Sabin pinned James Storm in 6:52 to win the third fall. Pyro after the win. A super hot match that earned "Match of the Year" chants.

6. Rob Van Dam defeated Abyss in a Stairway to Janice match to retain the TNA Title in 17:12. Eric Bischoff was special referee. After the match, Hogan came out to congratulate RVD, and then he invited EV2 out. Hogan left.

EV2 celebrated and then the lights when out. When the lights came on, Beer Money, A.J. Styles, Kazarian, Douglas Williams, and Matt Morgan beat and bloodied EV2. Ric Flair came out and chased Dixie Carter to the back. EV2 was destroyed. Flair said it's Fortune's house and they set the bar, not EV2.

EV2 was Dreamer, Team 3D, Mick Foley, Rhino, Stevie Richards, Little Guido, Rob Van Dam, Bill Alfonso, and Sabu. Sandman and Raven made separate attempts to save EV2, but he was beat up. The angle was long as hell. Knowing TNA production, it will be three minutes long on Thursday. So it's now a faction war with EV2 vs. Fortune. The golden rule was followed, as every EV2 wrestler wore white to show the crimson. Pepa actually left due to the violence

Umm....I don't see everyone's problem with the match times. The total time of the matches (before the main event) is around 40 minutes. Factor in 36 minutes of commercials (18 minutes of commercials for each hour, which is the average commercial airtime during an hour-long, prime-time broadcast television program). Plus we still have to add all the time for entrances and all that, and however long the main event lasts.

[Deleted]

Not to mention, giving MCMG/Beer Money 16 minutes is a great move.

[Tylor]

Updated my post with the rest of the show.

[LtD73]

Hopefully theyve killed ECW for good now because i do not want to see EV2.0 vs Fortune

[Matt]

Yikes, this does not sound as good as I thought it would be. Maybe it will come off better on tv. :x

[Juba]

eh should have been a 3 hour show for the matches sake.

[King Bálor (CM)™]

EPIC FAIL!

Shannon Moore?! I mean, it might be a decent match. But TNA blew it again! Stop hyping crapand teasing crapto spit in your fans' faces. You said former WWE talent. Yes, Shannon is a former talent. But, you eluded to the fact that it was a recently released one and not someone currently in TNA.

Whats with more ECW shit?! ITS DEAD! DEAD! And now this angle sounds oddly like the Nexus angle WWE is running that is equally queer.

yeah, but the whole thing was no talk, more wrestling they could of saved the whole fortune/EV 2.0 for next week show it should have been more then just 40 min for a 2 hr show thats pretty bad especially when they dont have segments

[Deleted]

I've read reports on the dirt sheets that this is the "best impact in history" and "must see TV". Doesn't seem that way to me.

[slappy]

Really?

"Pepa of Salt-n-Pepa is in the front row." That's probably the most exciting thing about the whole show.

[Calcifer Boheme]

I'm looking forward to seeing MCMG vs. Beer Money, but that's about it.
