COMPLETE TNA iMPACT Spoilers for 11/22 & 11/29

[messiah]

Man, they are pushing the hell out of the young guys. This is fantastic.

[comahan]

All I know is that this is leading to goofy AJ in a turkey suit. So im good with whatever else happens.

Though, I bet the only thing that will be talked about is 3D winning the street fight and 'OMG BURYING' everybody, since thats the only thing 3D does... right?

Edit: Oh, and part of this is the Thanksgiving episode, and the triple threat matches are a small tournament that leads to Joe/Sabin/Styles from the last posted spoilers.

[lildude8218]

what if they turned Angel Williams into Angelina Lovie and she came out with pouty lips for no reason?

[poi zen rana]

ooh a triple threat tournament. nice.

[I'm The Cool One]

someone must be smoking dope in TNA because things are looking REALLY good! i'm surprised. maybe this will continue

[Limey]

Rellik? As in Relic, but also Killer spelt backwards?

I dig. S'like Redrum, but it doesn't infringe on anything.

I can't complain about the rest of the results. Push for Sabin, Kaz remains in the main event, Jimmy Rave gets a match...ish, James Storm remains heel...

I can't complain.

TNA Impact spoilers from Orlando

by David Tuthill

TNA returned for a second day's worth of tapings. They were taping for
different weeks and it was hard to keep track of what went where, but
here are the results:

-Chris Sabin d. Brother Devon and Abyss in a three-way. I suppose this
was the first round of the "Turkey Bowl" that was taped yesterday

-Samoa Joe d. Johnny Devine and Kip James in a three-way. Havok
changing his name was just the beginning for names tonight. Joe won
with an Island Driver on Havok.

-AJ Styles d. Christian Cage and Jay Lethal in a three-way. Cage
didn't come out at first, so it was Styles and Lethal early. When he
did, Styles ran away from him. Cage had Lethal beat with an Unprettier
but Styles hit a springboard splash while Cage was turned for the pin.

-ODB d. Velvet Sky (Talia Madison) and Angelina Love (Angel Williams).
Very odd to change the names of the wrestler's who have already been
on TV. OK match. ODB won with a top rope thesz press. She is really
great. The women's division in TNA has been a big surprise.

-Booker T and Sharmell come out for a promo. He says he's in TNA to
make it the best company in the world and that he's gunning for the
world title. Robert Roode comes out and the two banter back and forth
before security gets in between them. They agree to a match later.

-Jimmy Rave & Christy Hemme d. Eric Young & Gail Kim. The
Rave/Hoyt/Hemme act are being called the "Rock n Rave Infection". That
isn't a typo. After the match, James Storm comes out and challenges
Eric Young to a speed drinking contest. Whoever can drink the most in
60 seconds wins the belt. It was funny seeing Young win despite
pouring 90% of the beer down his chest. After Young is declared the
winner, Storm breaks a bottle over his head and lays him out. Young
bleeds VERY heavily. It's kind of odd to do such a heavy angle in a
comedy feud, but this certainly got over.

-Team 3D d. Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal in a Streetfight. They brawled
around early, with Dutt and Lethal both doing dives into the crowd.
Dutt landed a flip van terminator with a trash can. Johnny Devine came
out and distracted Dutt and Lethal, enabling the Dudleyz to nail the
3D for the pin.

-Rhino d. Relic. Short. Rhino with the Gore. Black Reign hits the ring
for a 2on1 post match, and Abyss makes the save. We're running on a
treadmill with these guys.

-Booker T d. Robert Roode. Pretty standard match here, but you can
definitely tell Booker is a lot happier. Roode went for a chairshot
and Booker got out of the way and nailed a leg lariat and hit the Axe
kick for the win.

-MAIN EVENT: Samoa Joe, Kaz, Scott Steiner & Abyss d. Kurt Angle,
Christian Cage, Tomko, and AJ Styles. Why won't they call him
Kazarian? Great, long, match. The finish was all eight guys coming in
with one of their trademark moves, Joe poking AJ in the eyes, Cage
setting up Joe for an Unprettier until AJ nailed him blind with a kick
before Joe hit Cage with the Island Driver and pinned him. Afterwards,
The Outsiders came out to the top of the ramp and clapped for Joe. Go
out of your way to see this one.


Xplosion Matches:

-Johnny Devine d. Petey Williams. Devine won with a Double Underhook Piledriver.

-VKM & Roxxi Lavaugh d. Chris Harris, Shark Boy, and Angelina Love
(Angel Williams).

[comahan]

Awesome, a great 8 man tag with 8 of my favorite wrestlers and personalities in the business.

Ive read over these about 5 or 6 times, and I still have no idea what the smurf is going on.

The spoilers are usually confusing until you actually see the episode. A lot of times backstage vignettes are left out that form the narration of the episode.

On another note, I love how there will always be people complaining that so and so lost a match. The thing is, there usually has to be a loser in a match, and, when there isn't, people will complain over non-finishes too.

TNA is doing the slow build with a lot of guys right now, and it's beginning to show. You can't give a Goldberg push to every last member of the roster, because Jerry Flynn just can't work that many matches per night.

[Kenny Brockelstein]

'The Rock'n'Rave Infection'? I'm pretty sure I contracted that after a particularly heavy weekend a few months back...

Jerry Flynn: 108-0

I hope Hall/Nash don't turn heel on Joe, which I doubt, but I just hope it doesn't happen.

The tapings do look interesting.

[Ace Diamond]

...TNA...stop with the name changing. You have 4 name changes on one taping for two weeks, changing the name of 2 women's wrestlers who already were going under different names, and giving Hoyt/Rave/Hemme something that sounds like an STD with its own soundtrack.

[Limey]

aodpilot said:

...TNA...make Kaz's name Frankie Kazarian again and THEN stop with the name changing.

Fixed.

Hey, that was mentioned in the orginal recap, how TNA have too many name changes, but how they wanted TNA to change Kaz's name back. Just something interesting to note.

I think I like the Rock N Rave Infection, though. Sounds like an alternate title to 28 Days Later, but that movie was awesome so whatever.

[Ace Diamond]

On another note, I understand that yes, they're finally pushing their "homegrown" talent better, and that they're creating competitive matches.

It's too bad I'm almost at the point of not caring. 2 years of waiting for them to show me something has almost killed me caring about TNA save for a few of the guys there (mostly X-Division).

I mean I still watch it cause some of the matches are pretty good and I also want to know what's going on, it's just...I don't feel like it suddenly became a wholly reborn promotion free from sin and error.

if you are counting hoyt and rave as one of the name changes you are mistaken. rave called them that a few impacts ago in a backstage segment. so tna is just now announcing them as the tag team name they had been calling themselves. just minor detail i thought i would point out.

i really don't care about the name changes. one is just havok reverting to his johnny devine gimmick since serotonin has disbanded. he went by a different name in the group and now that it is officially done, he is going by his name again. not too big of a deal to me. as far as the two women's wrestlers, i say better now when they have hardly been featured then later on when they have developed themselves.

tna isn't a wholly reborn promotion free from sin or error and i don't hear a lot of people claiming they are. all we are saying is they present a good product that is interesting and not near as horrible as internet reporters and critics would have you believe. not perfect, but not nearly as bad as everyone pretends they are.

Ok I am overstating a bit maybe. But based on the fact that apparently a thread called "TNA is better than WWE" was deemed necessary, you have to admit it may be a tad overhyped. Well actually no you don't have to admit that since it's just my opinion. I just don't see TNA as being as amazing as it once was legitimately, maybe they're moving back towards that, I don't know.
