Lol @ Ric Flair, Sting and Hulk Hogan all still talking about wrestling. How old are these people now?

[Tarry]

It's sad that just a short while ago, Ric Flair was still able to put on a wrestling classic. His match with Mick Foley on iMPACT was amazing.

A friend of mine went to see TNA live at the start of the year, and the best match of the night was Douglas Williams vs. Ric Flair. Unfortunately Doug managed to tear Flair's rotator cuff and he's been shit ever since.

Sting's last truly great match was against AJ Styles at Bound for Glory 2009.

Hogan hasn't really had a good singles match tbh.

All three should retire immediately.

In matches for Xplosion:
TNA X Division Champion Brian Kendrick defeated Mark Haskins in a non title match with Sliced Bread #2.

Douglas Williams defeated Alex Shelley with Chaos Theory. Magnus was on commentary for the match.

Good to see Angelina and Velvet will be on but why is Velvet teaming with ODB and Jackie? I wanted her angle with them to be over. It's weird that they are getting all this airtime lately.

It's nice that Velvet got the win but couldn't they let her do it clean if they are truly serious about pushing her and giving her some cred.

It's also weird that Winter hasn't made an appearance yet.

The Pope just can't catch a break.

The rest of the show just looks like a mess.

What the actual fuck? You know what? I'm not even gonna...

All I'm gonna do, is just sit here and be thankful that my only reasons for watching TNA are wrapped into one neat little segment and that's all I have to endure for the remainder of the month.

[Angelwings]

So the two women who have returned from oblivion just so they can make Velvet's life a living hell decide to multiple swerve and in effect help her win a match?

That is fucking ridiculous and does nothing for anyone involved.

And where the hell is the new Knockouts champion?

I agree the stuff with ODB and Jackie it is ridiculous.

It is weird for a new champion to not make appearance for 3 weeks. If they wasn't going to give Winter any airtime as champion they might as just let Mickie keep the title.

[Tarry]

Mark Haskins pins Alex Shelley and Robbie E?

[Tarry]

I think I've figured out the reason why TNA is keeping Velvet off screen.

She's trying to get on DWTS, right? Well obviously TNA would want her on the show for publicity. So they keep her out of action or limited to tag matches so she doesn't pick up an injury.

It sucks for Velvet's fans that she's not doing much right now, but it could pay off in the end if she gets a place on the show.

I think TNA should have let Rosita and Sarita win the KO tag titles back at Hardcore Justice. With Hernandez & Anarquia winning the tag titles next week, Mexican America would have had all the tag titles.

Eh, they are bad enough as is.

Honestly unless it's the Love/Sky BP, I'm not sure it matters who holds those belts. No other female TNA duo has a longterm special team identity.

^
That's true but I figured since they are pushing Mexican America they might as well have all the tag belts right now.

It does kind of suck that Angelina and Velvet never got to hold the KO tag titles together.

Spoilers from the Huntsville, AL tapings.

SEPTEMBER 1st IMPACT
Hulk Hogan came out to start show and talked about offer Ric Flair made. Kurt Angle came out. Angle talked about taking out young veterans and added Sting. Sting vs. Angle for title later. Sting came out and accepts.

1. Gunner defeated Rob Van Dam in a Bound For Glory Series match. Gunner won via pinfall when Jerry Lynn interfered.

Eric Bischoff came out with Traci Brooks to address all the Knockouts in the ring. He talked about leadership and named Karen Jarrett the new head of the Knockouts division. She named ODB and Jackie to the roster. She then named Traci Brooks her assistant.

2. Jesse Sorenson and Brian Kendrick beat Austin Aries and Kid Kash. Sorenson pinned Kash via roll up.

3. Mickie James defeated Winter to win the TNA Knockouts Title. James won the match with a kick to the head.

Matt Morgan called out Joe and Joe and Matt brawled. Eventually, Joe hit Morgan in the arm with a chair against the ring post.

4. Christopher Daniels defeated A.J. Styles. Daniels got the win after Styles slipped on the ropes.

5. Kurt Angle defeated Sting to retain the TNA Title. Hulk Hogan was special referee. Kurt retains after interference and Angle Slam on chair. Immortal came down to beat Sting, and Anderson made the save.

SEPTEMBER 8th IMPACT

1. The Pope and Devon beat The British Invasion to become No. 1 contender to the TNA Tag Titles. Devon and Dinero won after Devon does a spinebuster type slam.

JB introduced the Bound For Glory Series final four - Bully Ray, Gunner, and Beer Money. Bully Ray cut a promo on how Beer Money won't be a team after the series. He put over Gunner as future and how he will make sure Bully Ray will be champion. There will be a four corners match with all four participating. Bobby Roode said they both want to be a champion and it's their dream. He says both will share victory after whichever one wins the title after Bound For Glory.

2. Eric Young defeated Robbie E to retain the TNA Television Title. Light Heavyweight champion Eduardo Alvarez is at commentary. Eric Young retains after Spike Piledriver.

3. Winter and Angelina Love defeated Mickie James and Velvet Sky. Winter blew mist in Mickie's eyes and then pinned her.

Austin Aries came out to great heat. He cut a decent promo and then Kendrick came out in a suit and did some crazy promo. It was a pretty decent exchange.

4. Gunner defeated Bully Ray, James Storm, and Bobby Roode in a four corners match. Gunner pinned Ray with a Running Knee.

5. Mr. Anderson beat Kurt Angle by DQ in a TNA Title match. The match ended in disqualification when Immortal ran out and attacked Anderson and Sting.

It was announced that The Network agreed to give Jeff Hardy a live mic. Hardy's promo was how he let the fans and the guys down in the back. He can't expect people to forgive him but he asks for one more shot and leaves.

So Mickie is the champ again. What was the point of having Winter win it then?

Karen being in charge of the KOs could be interesting.

I'm shocked Eric Young actually defended his TV title and only took him 3 1/2 months to do it.

With Crimson out of the series I guess they feel they have to push Gunner hard now. Why I will never know.

Overall I'm not liking these spoilers but at least Daniels finally beat AJ in a match so that's something.

[Tarry]

Pope and Devon beat The British Invasion? ... I'm done.

I don't understand that one either. British Invasion are the only other real tag team left but they have been jobbing them out big time.
