The Official Impact Spoilers Thread

[Deleted]

EDIT:
Decided to make this the official thread for Impact & Xplosion spoilers.

Here are the spoilers for this week's Impact.

•Immortal is up first. They come out to new entrance music.


•Eric Bischoff goes over what happened at Turning Point. He congratulates Abyss for his win. He says Abyss put on a mixed martial arts clinic at the pay-per-view. Ric Flair says this group dominated last night. AJ Styles says it's all about the name and the name is Fortune. He mocks Sabu and says he's fired, courtesy of Fortune. He says he's sending another one home tonight and he's crippling Stevie Richards. Bischoff says the biggest moment was the very first title defense for their champion, Jeff Hardy. Hardy's new music hits and he comes out.


•Hardy says it was just another party for him. He destroyed the hopes and dreams of Matt Morgan. The crowd chants "overrated" at him. He says he's not overrated, he's the chosen one. Bischoff says tonight is going to get more excited. Here is the one, the only, the immortal Hulk Hogan. Hogan comes out and joins Immortal in the ring. He asks if you know what it's like to be surrounded by family. When he made the deal to take over TNA, the one thing he made sure was to have Bischoff with him. He congratulates Flair for doing a great job and stepping it up. Hogan has a surprise for Hardy. A title belt is lowered from the ceiling and pyro goes off. There is now a new TNA World Heavyweight title belt. It's purple and looks like the Divas title belt. Hogan throws the old title in the trash. Hogan says the only thing anyone can do now is drop down to their knees and pray. The Pope's music hits and he appears in the crowd. Pope is telling Eric that he has a casket for Abyss but tonight he's going to take Eric's old a--, put it in the casket, push it up the ramp and push him off to watch him crash and burn.


•Samoa Joe's music hits and he appears from another part of the crowd. Joe calls out Jeff Jarrett and the security guys for what they did. Joe says if Jarrett is such a tough shoot fighter why doesn't he come shoot on him. RVD's music hits and he shows by the commentary table. He calls them all shallow and calls out Hardy for having a title he never lost. He also says Hardy has to face the fact he's going to have to face him one day. As a matter of fact, he's going to make it happen tonight and leave as champ. Morgan's music hits and he says no disrespect to RVD but he's getting the shot first. He says he exposed Hardy at the PPV and will do it again. Hogan says he doesn't know what he's getting into. Morgan says he used to worship the ground Hogan walked on but now he needs to show up. Hogan says he'll go to the back with Flair and give him a fight. He might regret what he gets though.


•Jay Lethal & Taylor Wilde vs. Robbie E & Cookie. At one point things broke down and Taylor was chasing Cookie around the ring. This distracted Lethal and allowed Robbie E to hit his finisher and win the match.


•Team 3D is out for their retirement speech. Brother Ray says no matter what that was one hell of a tag team match at Turning Point. Devon says whether you loved us or hated us the fans were always in their corner. They say thank you for that. So now they've done everything they could and it's time to hang it up. Ray is going to start a rock and roll band. Ray says Devon has 11 kids to go home to. So for the last time, Devon does his oh my brother, testify. Their music hits, Team 3D embrace and then Ray knocks Devon out. Devon tries to get up but Ray kicks him back down. Ray slowly walks to the back amid a chorus of boos.


•Backstage Bischoff is berating Earl Hebner in front of the other referees. He says Hebner screwed up at the PPV again. A new referee interrupts him and says he's sorry but it was his fault. Bischoff says why is he interrupting him? Matt Morgan comes in and says he shouldn't be mad at the referees when he should be mad at him. Morgan says give him a handicap match against Fortune tonight and he can let them punish him.


•Fortune security vs Samoa Joe in aHandicap match. Winner via Muscle Buster in a short squash, Samoa Joe. After the match Joe chokes out the guy he didn't pin. During this Jeff Jarrett runs out and hits Joe with a night stick. He and the security guys beat on Joe. Jarrett locks in an ankle lock and Kurt Angle runs out and beats up the security guys. Jarrett makes a run for it before Angle can get to him.


•In the bathroom, Eric Bischoff is talking to Abyss who is in a stall taking a crap. Bischoff comments on the smell. The Pope comes out of another stall and knocks out Bischoff. Abyss then comes out and Pope knocks him out too.


•Kazarian vs. Rob Van Dam. Earl Hebner got knocked out during the match. Ric Flair was coming out with a chair to interfere but Rhino ran down and took the chair. He got in the ring to help RVD but he instead gored RVD and allowed Kazarian to get the win. Tommy Dreamer ran out and yelled at Rhino as water came streaming out of his mouth. He went to check on RVD and Rhino hit him with a chair and left.


•Backstage, Pope is yelling at Bischoff and asking him if he wants to be the Pope? Bischoff is asking for him to stop. Pope keeps telling him to shut-up. Pope starts putting his jewelery, shades and doo-rag on him and then makes Bischoff rap for him. Eric raps a little and then Pope drags him away and says he has a better idea.


•Another handicap match was announced for later of Matt Morgan vs. Fortune.


•For the TNA TV Title, AJ Styles vs. Stevie Richards. Winner via botched Styles Clash, AJ Styles. It turned into a sort of short powerbomb. Security and a trainer are out to check on Richards. Richards might be really hurt. They put a neck brace on Richards and helped him to the back.


•Backstage, Pope knocks Bischoff out and puts him in the casket then rolls him away. Pope wheels the casket to the ring but Abyss runs down and attacks Pope. Pope gets the upper hand but Bischoff gets out of the casket and low blows Pope. Abyss pounds on Pope for a while then puts him in the casket. Abyss rolls the casket into the stage where it breaks through.


•Beer Money & Douglas Williams w/Ric Flair vs. Matt Morgan. Eric Bischoff joins commentary during the match. Winner via Carbon Footprint to Douglas Williams, Matt Morgan. Flair and Beer Money ditched Williams because they were tired of dealing with Morgan. Afterwards, another video of Jeff Hardy comes on the screen. As Morgan is watching it, Hardy runs in from behind and Kicks Morgan square in the nuts. He hits a Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb.

* Reshoot Jay Lethal & Taylor Wilde vs. Robbie E & Cookie. They called it a rematch.

No Beautiful People at all. For shame TNA.

The whole show looks terrible and who wants to see Team 3D feud with each other.

Also they throw the TNA world title in the trash and give Jeff Hardy a new crappy looking belt?! Really TNA?!

I'm not even going to comment on the bathroom segment with Abyss, The Pope and Eric Bischoff.

[Deleted]

Since TNA decided to use Taylor this week I was hoping TBP was going to get a shot at the KO tag titles. But I guess not.

[Brandon]

I'm sure there will be an Angelina/Velvet/Winter segment again this week. It hasn't been included in the spoilers the last couple of times they've done it. I still don't understand the point of Taylor Wilde and Hamada holding the titles when they could just put the belts on Velvet and Angelina. At least then we would be reminded they exist.

[Deleted]

I hope so, but with all of the stuff they have going on with this show they would have to be very brief segments to get them into the show.

Tomorrow's Impact taping has to be better than this. It has to.

I agree that Angelina & Velvet should be the KO tag champions already. I guess that TNA doesn't want TBP to hold any championships at the moment though.

[Tarry]

Picture of the new World title belt:



What. The. Actual. Fuck.

[Deleted]

^
It looks so stupid. How do they expect anyone to take their world champion seriously holding that?! Once again really TNA?!

Also the Jay Lethal & Taylor Wilde vs Robbie E & Cookie match must have been really bad if they had to re-shoot it.

[Tarry]

Apparenly Becky Bayless (Cookie) is clueless in the ring. A while back she tagged with Robbie E to face Shannon Moore and Christina Von Eerie in a dark match and she didn't know what to do. At one point Moore had to explain to her to tag Robbie E in after she messed up whatever was happening multiple times.

[Angelwings]

Those spoilers look absolutely horrible. I too hope there is an unmentioned Angelina/Winter/BP segment included as there has been in past weeks. Though even that wouldn't save a show if it comes off as bad as it sounds here.

I don't get why they sign someone like that while not retaining and then not resigning talented workers like Rain.

What does Bayless offer that they didn't already have at hand with people like Tessmacher and Chelsea?

[Deleted]

I just watched Impact on Youtube and I'm just letting everyone know that it was a really bad show this week. Plus Angelina and Velvet don't show up at all.

I would suggest just skipping watching Impact altogether tonight. But that's just me.

The only KO action we get is the mixed tag match and even then Cookie and Taylor don't do anything. Hell Taylor doesn't even get tagged in.

Impact Spoilers for November 18th

TNA Wrestling taped next week's edition of Impact tonight from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Thanks to Wrestling News World Orlando correspondent Tim Capture for providing us with live updates. Below are full results:

Dark Match:

* Rocky Santiago vs. Stevie Richards. Santiago is a local Florida guy that is a Team 3D student. Winner via Stevie Kick, Stevie Richards.

TNA Impact (Airing 11/18 on Spike TV):

* Impact starts with Ric Flair out. He has a big, tall hot topic in Matt Morgan. He says it's tough what happened at Turning Point but that's life. That brings Morgan out. Flair says he could have Fortune out here right now to take care of him. But he's never had anyone do what he can't do. So Morgan, why not try to beat me, the Nature Boy. Morgan says wrestling Ric Flair is #1 on his bucket list so let's do this tonight. Ric Flair says when you wrestle him you're wrestling a god. Flair throws his jacket in his face. Morgan says he's going to shove it up his a-- tonight.

* Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are shown in Hogan's office. Raven barges in and asks what the deal is with him being fired if he loses to Jeff Hardy? Hogan says he's tired of the whining. Why dorsn't he handle his business? Raven says maybe he will and then he'll come for Hogan and then he'll come for Bischoff.

* Generation Me is shown walking backstage but we can't really hear the sound in the Impact Zone. Tara shows up and I think she says good luck to them for their match and then slaps one on the backside. They smile at her and take off.

* Back in Hogan's office Bischoff is calling Ric Flair certifiably insane. Then Shannon Moore comes in and says he wants Abyss tonight in a casket match. Hogan says he must be crazy and asks if he definitely wants that. Moore says he wants Abyss. Hogan says then I guess tonight you'll be immortalized.

* Generation Me, Robbie E & Cookie vs. Jay Lethal, The Motor City Machine Guns & Velvet Sky. Winner via spray tanner from Max Buck to Chris Sabin's face followed by a Jeremy Buck schoolboy, Generation Me and The Shore.

* Backstage Jeff Jarrett is talking to Gunner and Murphy. He tells them to be ready outside for a fight he has with Kurt Angle. Jeremy Borash is there and Jarrett yells at him. JB says he wants to go over Hardy's ring intro. Jarrett slaps Borash and says he better not screw up his intro. Jarrett says he better get Jarrett's ring intro right too when he shows off his MMA skills later. Jarrett berates JB for putting his head down like the rest of the sheep out there and then leaves.

* Up next is an MMA demonstration by Jeff Jarrett. Jeremy Borash has instructed everyone to show the proper respect. Universal security has been instructed to throw anyone out not showing him respect. This is the Double J MMA exhibition. Six random jobbers in MMA gear are out first with JJ last in MMA gear. Two of the guys are local wrestlers Sam Shaw (Lupus) and Teddy Stigma. Another guy is local Eddie Graves. Borash says the first move is an arm bar. He takes local wrestler Jason Static down with a throw and performs an arm bar. Next up is a Japanese knee lock which he puts on Stigma. Next up is an ankle lock. Jarrett says he knows this move quite well. The crowd chants Angle. Jarrett says Ken Shamrock taught him this. He takes down one of the guys and puts an ankle lock on. Next move is a rear naked choke. Jarrett says this has won many fights and there's one guy who perfected it. That guy is Royce Gracie. He puts a rear naked choke on Graves. Samoa Joe's music hits. Joe calls Jarrett a sad silly son of a b---- and why doesn't he show his Mixed Martial Arts to him? Jarrett says he has two students left. If he can beat them then Joe can have Jarrett tonight.

* Samoa Joe vs. Two Students in a submission match ends in under a minute as he taps both out.

* Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Jarrett starts but Jarrett throws the students at Joe and bails. Joe takes all of them out and Muscle Busters one to end the segment.

* TNA Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Raven. If Raven loses, he's fired. Winner via Swanton Bomb, Jeff Hardy. Raven is "fired". Stevie Richards, Tommy Dreamer and Brian Kendrick come out to console Raven. Hulk Hogan comes out and says this is quite appropriate. Dixie Carter had the gall to say EV2 was as big as Hogan? Well wah wah wah, what about me? Raven, you're fired.

* After Hogan leaves, Dreamer puts over Raven. He says he lost to him for three years but learned more then than he ever did. He might have gone through a lot of wars with him but he respects him. Richards says he wouldn't be where he is if it weren't for Raven. Raven thanks the fans and apologizes for letting them down. He says it's never over, quote the Raven, nevermore. Dreamer tells the fans to never stop supporting the wrestlers. He's lost two guys recently and they need the support now more than ever. Dreamer then calls Rhino out to explain himself. Rhino comes out says EV2 didn't care about Rhino when he was going to lose his job. The only person who did was Eric Bischoff. He gave him a choice of working or being unemployed if he helped EB out. Rhino at first said to go to hell. Then he realized he was around before Dreamer and RVD and was pushed aside. Rhino says he takes a backseat to nobody. Dreamer says he and RVD came here because they wanted to show that TNA was the best wrestling company there is. Rhino says they just wanted the spotlight. Now Rhino is only going to think about himself. Dreamer look what just happened to Sabu and Raven. They're in the same boat against Hogan and Bischoff. If he does this he turns his back on the fans. Rhino attacks Dreamer. RVD comes out for the save. He checks on Dreamer but Rhino Gores him.

* Casket match: Shannon Moore vs. Abyss. Abyss hit a Black Hole Slam and was going to put Moore in the casket when out of the blue The Pope pops out of the casket. The referee calls for the bell. Moore and Pope beat up Abyss until he makes a run for it.

* Angelina Love vs. Mickie James. Winner via Last Kiss Goodnight, Mickie James.

* Brother Ray is out to explain his actions. Everybody is asking him why? Why did he kick his brother Devon in the back of the head. Fifteen years ago he created the greatest wrestling tag team move in history. You can use it at any time to win a match. That move is the 3D, the Dudley Death Drop. He names tons of guys that it was used on to win matches. Then Chris Sabin comes along and kicks out of it because Devon is weak. Devon has always been weak. He never stood by his side. He always stood two steps behind him. Crowd chants "we want Devon." Ray says Devon is a nobody and doesn't matter. He says either of his brothers like Runt or Big Dick could've been his partner. It's always been about Ray.

* Ric Flair vs. Matt Morgan. Flair got iced before the match started. The referee got knocked out very early on and this turned into a bloody fight. Morgan hit a chokeslam at one point and Fortune runs out to beat down on Morgan. Before anybody realizes it, Williams takes out some of Fortune allowing Morgan the chance to make a comeback and clear the ring of everybody but Flair. He hits a Carbon Footprint and the referee comes to just in time to count 3.

Xplosion:

* Okada vs. Rob Terry. Winner via one armed spinebuster, Rob Terry.

* Sarita vs. Taylor Wilde. Winner after rolling through a top rope crossbody block, Sarita.

Impact Spoilers for November 25th

TNA Wrestling is taping the 11/25 edition of Impact tonight from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Thanks to Wrestling News World Orlando correspondent Tim Capture for providing us with text message updates. Below are full results:

Dark Match:

* Tommy Mercer vs. Stevie Richards. Winner via Stevie Kick, Stevie Richards

TNA Impact (Airing 11/25 on Spike TV):

* Matt Morgan is out in a suit. For the past two weeks he beat Fortune to get his rematch against Jeff Hardy. Then he beat the man himself, Ric Flair. Then by winning that he got to pick his own special referee. That way, what happened at Turning Point won't happen again. A rookie referee got nervous and made a mistake. But hey, s--- happens. He doesn't blame the referee, he blames himself. He should've annihilated Hardy so bad he wouldn't be able to move for three days, let alone three seconds. He needs a man who won't be afraid to stand up and take care of business. A man who can get the job done. When all is said and done it won't matter who the referee is, it'll be all about him becoming the new world champion.

* Douglas Williams' music hits and he joins Morgan. In regards to a referee he says Morgan needs to look no further. He knows what his life with Fortune has been like lately. He insults each member individually. He says he was there for Morgan last week and he can depend on him now. Morgan says he did step up and this is a big decision. He has 10 days to decide and Williams will be the first to know. Fortune comes out to the top of the ramp. Flair says they're both outside looking in. Flair says Doug has made a big mistake going against them. Kazarian says Thanksgiving meant to him that there would be lots of wrestling. So how about Morgan and Williams go find some partners and a corner. Rob Van Dam runs out for the save and Rhino bails. RVD calls out for Rhino for turning on his friends. RVD says at the pay-per-view he'll handle things and makes the match a first blood match. That way, by the pay-per-view, the DNA of TNA will be DOA for Jeff Hardy. Kaz says let's go, we have Dixie Carter coming as a special guest and we need to get ready.

* Detroit Street Fight, Rhino vs. Tommy Dreamer. Winner via cookie pan shot and schoolboy, Tommy Dreamer. Lots of cookie sheet shots, some metal garbage can shots, the usual. Afterwards, Dreamer gets on the mic and says this is what it's all about. EV2 might be going down but he went down fighting. We've been friends for a long time and don't you forget it. You went out there and put it on the line for the fans. Rhino and Dreamer embrace but Rhino grabs him and spinebusters Dreamer through a table in the corner. RVD runs out for the save and Rhino bails.

* Backstage, Matt Morgan, Douglas Williams and Samoa Joe are talking. Morgan says this divide and conquer stuff needs to stop and they need to stick together. Joe says there is no we and he handles his own business. Williams says that's kind of mad to do. Joe says you think I'm mad? Wait until you see what he does tonight in the 8 man.

* Backstage, Williams and Morgan are talking to "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero. Williams asks Pope to be the fourth member of their team. Pope asks who the third member is. They say Joe and Pope laughs. He doesn't trust Joe as far as he can throw him. He's got to much on his plate right now. He wishes them the best of luck tonight but he has to deal with Abyss. Morgan says what happens when he's done with Abyss? He then has to go after Fortune by himself. Do it now when everybody is together. Pope says it makes sense and he'll see them out there.

* MMA exhibition match, Jesse Neal vs. Jeff Jarrett. The referee got knocked out during the match after getting pulled in the way of a Neal spear. Jarrett uses this chance to smash a guitar over Neal's head. He locks a choke and body vice on Neal and the referee wakes up to see it and declare Jarrett the winner. Shannon Moore runs out afterward but Jarrett bolts.

* Brother Ray is out with a new video and song. He says some of the fans and some of the wrestlers are mad he kicked Devon in the back of the head. His question is, "Why?" Why is anyone mad? He deserved it. If it wasn't for him he could have retired as champions. Chris Sabin kicked out of the 3D because Devon is weak. He's put a video package together to show how weak Devon is and how he's always been the leader of Team 3D. A video of Devon getting beat up is shown. Ray says he's embarrassed to even watch it. A loud "you suck" chant starts. He says he'll prove he doesn't suck by showing the best of Ray. Highlights of Ray plays while the crowd chants "you still suck." He can't believe they still think that after watching the video. Ray says he heard Devon is mad at him and wants to have some words with him. Ray says if that's true then come here next week and talk. He's not hard to find.

* Backstage The Beautiful People are messing around with someone and holding up one of their new action figures. Ric Flair walks up and starts joking with them. Mickie James walks up and joins in the fun. Then Tara and Madison Rayne show up and Tara spits in Mickie's face so a fight breaks out. The Beautiful People attack Madison for fun. Angelina goes to check on Mickie and she accidentally hits Angelina. Mickie and Tara continue fighting all over and disappear around the corner.

* Madison Rayne comes out and screams at Sarita for putting her hands on her. She says this is her show and she's the champ. She'll talk real slow because she's a Spaniard but GET OUT HERE NOW. Sarita makes her way down.

* In street clothes, Madison Rayne vs. Sarita. Sarita reversed something into a quick pin. Horrible match. Madison's shoulder was clearly up. I smell a re-tape.

* Douglas Williams, Matt Morgan, The Pope & Samoa Joe vs. Fortune (Beer Money, Kazarian & AJ Styles). James Storm eliminated by The Pope with a schoolboy. Kazarian eliminated by Williams via Chaos Theory. Joe and Pope both tagged themselves in. Referee asked for just one. They began fighting and fought to the back and appear to be out of this match. Douglas Williams is eliminated by Robert Roode with a spinebuster. As Morgan is mounting a comeback, TNA Champion Jeff Hardy runs in and low blows Morgan. The referee tries to stop him but gets a Twist of Fate instead. Roode, AJ and Hardy beat Morgan down as Hardy's music plays. This match is over.

Xplosion:

* TNA X Division Champion Robbie E w/Cookie vs. Eric Young. Young says he has a new show called Nashville Shore. He's going to get on a boat with Dixie, Serg, Karen, whoever. They'll get drunk, eat catfish and fight. The only rule is men only fight women. During the match, Young locked up with Cookie on the outside and put a standing wristlock on her. Winner after hairspray to the eyes and a neckbreaker, Robbie E. The Shore beat Young down some after the match. Orlando Jordan comes down for the save. Robbie bails but Cookie stays in. Cookie tries to fight Jordan but he instead gives her a long kiss. Robbie runs in but Jordan grabs him and goes for a kiss but Cookie grabs him and drags him outside.

* Tara vs. Angelina Love. Winner via jumping flatliner, Angelina Love.

* Abyss vs. Rob Terry. Winner via Black Hole Slam, Abyss.

* Fortune immediately berate Jackson the referee over what happened. Robert Roode says he's becoming a major pain in the a-- for Fortune. First the pay-per-view, then putting his hands on Jeff Hardy last week and now this? Storm slaps the heck out of Jackson. Matt Morgan's music hits and he grabs Ric Flair and puts a choke on him. He tells Fortune to stay back or he'll choke the life out of him. Morgan tells Flair to take a good look at the referee. If he or any of his goons put their hands on him again he'll rip their heads off. Morgan leaves and Flair is furious. He gets on the mic and screams at Morgan but a loud "Morgan" chant starts and no one can hear Flair so he leaves.

Brother Ray finally comes out but won't get in the ring. Devon says Bubba's problem is their whole career he's been nothing but a bully and a coward. Devon says if it wasn't for him there would be no Team 3D. He points to Taz and says if it wasn't for that man they wouldn't have been in ECW. Ray says look at him now, sitting down and all washed up. Devon begins to talk but Taz interrupts. He says he doesn't mean to get in the middle of family business, but Ray called him washed up. He hates to see this happening and Ray doesn't need to insult him. Now be a man and get in the ring. Ray yells at him some and Taz says to look at him and take those f---ing glasses off. Taz says he may be washed up but Devon isn't so get your a-- in that ring. Ray gets on the apron to get in but immediately jumps down. Devon says Shannon Moore was right, he is a douchebag. Devon says every company they've ever been in has hated Bubba but loved him. He should have shown the real video showing that Devon is the worker of the team. Devon says Ray is a coward and a bully. There's an old saying, if you want some, come get some. Well Devon wants some and goes after Ray. Ray throws So Cal Val into Devon and hightails it out of the Impact Zone.

* "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero is backstage talking to Samoa Joe. They're discussing their strategy for taking care of Fortune. Joe says he hates Pope. He doesn't like him one (2/2) bit, doesn't like anything about him. Pope says Joe isn't even a pimple on his back. But he'll put that aside so they can work together tonight.

Fortune bails as Anderson swings the pipe.

* Mr. Anderson calls for his mic to drop. He's been in the business for about 11 years now. He's going to do something he's only done a handful of times. He turns to Matt Morgan and thanks him. Thank you for having his back. He and Morgan don't like each other, but he knows there's things you just don't do. Things like hitting someone in the back of the head with a chair. Thank you for defending him and taking his spot at the pay-per-view. He asks if he wants to know what he's been doing this month? Problem is he doesn't remember at all. He says he's going to get Jeff Hardy for what he did. It may be today, may be tomorrow but he'll get him. He also asks if Morgan was looking for a referee with his match with Jeff Hardy. Morgan tells him he (was. Anderson says maybe they can think of somebody. Loud "a--hole" chant. He says his doctor won't let him wrestle but he might know a certain a--hole who could referee his rematch. Morgan asks if he wants to referee.

It was announced there would be fan participation to see who wins. The Shore is representing Seaside Heights while Lethal is representing Elizabeth. Jeremy Borash is in the ring running the showdown. Both get to make an opening statement. Robbie E says Lethal is a disgrace to New Jersey. After Final Resolution he's leaving as X Division Champion. Cookie goes nuts and says she's not going in that cage. Robbie says not to worry about it and then does a ridiculous fist pump routine. Lethal's opening statement starts with Lethal saying he makes him embarrassed to say he's from Jersey. Where he comes from if he looked like him he'd get beat up and his shoes would be taken. He says they both know Robbie wouldn't have won the belt if it wasn't for Cookie. At Final Resolution she's being hung 25 feet in the air in that cage. As for his fist pump routine, let's do it. His music hits and he starts to do a fist pump routine but attacks Robbie instead. They fight to the back. Robbie tries to use Christy Hemme as a shield. Cookie attacks Hemme but she fights back and tosses Cookie in a caged in area in the back. Lethal goes to lock her in but Robbie hits him with the X Division Championship belt.

If this is the go home show for Final Resolution then this is terrible. It's almost if TNA doesn't care anymore.

From these spoilers doesn't look like Velvet will even be on this episode. Maybe she is in a brief backstage segment. You would think she would at least be in Angelina's corner for a match involving Madison and Sarita.

I'm glad they're finally pushing Doug as a heavyweight.

Xplosion

They are going to let Tara sing?!
Hopefully the steel cage match with Mickie winning is the last of their feud.
I hope TBP actually won the titles and that the reports were wrong about a tourney.
They are serious about the Doug Williams push.
2 re-tapes that's not good.
