Abyss makes his way to the ring holding his board filled with nails in one hand and a huge leg of beef on his other shoulder for some odd reason. He is the new top contender so he calls out RVD and says that “they” have a plan for RVD. That plan is beyond extreme and its beyond anything RVD has ever done.

Thoughts: Crazy opening segment by TNA but I enjoyed it more than any recent. Sure it was disturbing and short but this is the Abyss I like to see and this is the kind of gimmicks I like to watch. We still have no idea who the hell “they” are or what his “plans” are but Abyss has always been a mysterious person. (6/10)… (7/10). He scores one extra point for taking a bite out of raw beef.

Sarita vs. Taylor Wilde- Street Fight

Thoughts: (N/A)

Brian Kendrick vs. Douglas Williams- I Quit Match (Non-Title)

It’s finally Williams who realizes first that it is going to take more damage to win the match so he starts a nice sequence. He hits some nice suplexes and slides on his glove to begin throwing punches. The match looks in favor of Williams but Kendrick finds a way to hit a missile dropkick. Kendrick locks in the Cobra Clutch choke hold and there is no way for Williams to get out so he quits.

Nash takes his attention off of Kendrick and says congratulations to Jarrett because he now officially has a problem with him. But who will win and get there way… he says we’ll have to wait and find out.

Thoughts: Interesting that Jarrett is now getting involved with Nash but both these old guys need a feud anyways since Sting is gone and Young hasn’t been on Impact in a while. Regarding the match, I think Kendrick looked good but it seems that the only time he can ever make a statement and win is when the belt isn’t on the line. This feud is getting to predictable. (5.5/10)

Desmond Wolfe vs. Rob Terry vs. Samoa Joe

Joe gets back in and heads high risk and tops it off with a drop kick off the top turnbuckle onto Terry. He then goes to a downed Wolfe and chokes him out for the submission win. Terry limps back into the ring and instead of Joe rampaging like normal; he shakes his hand and leaves the ring.

Thoughts: Second match of the night and another submission victory via choke hold. I think this basic move is being overused because it is so basic that any average person will learn it at the age of five. Can’t you remember sneaking up on your dad and putting him in a choke? If you can’t then he probably didn’t love you but that isn’t the point. The point is I would have rather seen a Muscle Buster or even just a pin. (6/10)

Motor City Machine Guns (c) vs. Beer Money- Ladder Match (Match One) (Best 3-of-5 Series)

MCMG’s take Beer Money out of the ring to start everything and they dive through the ropes to take out there opponents. The match heads back to the ring fast and it’s the MCMG that are hitting splashes in the corner that are planting Beer Money back first into the ladder.

From then on for a while it was all MCMG in this match as they managed to slam, suplex, crush, and do anything else with the ladders to beat down Beer Money. Roode tries to make a save but ends up lying back down on a ladder stretching from the ring to the crowd barrier. Shelley uses Roode as leverage to take out Storm and then Sabin hits a cross body on Roode that looked painful for both men.

RESULT: BEER MONEY WINS

-

Dinero uses his agility to win the match in probably under a minute. He did it so fast that I didn’t even catch the move that finished it but Morgan gets his revenge and fast. Morgan throws Dinero back in anger and then sends him out of the ring.

RESULT: D’ANGELO DINERO WINS VIA PIN

-

Both these men are ranked so somebody is about to rise and the other will fall. Lethal comes out wearing red and yellow to symbol Hulk Hogan and Hardy comes out wearing his average outfit that is far from normal.

Lethal brings the match back in the ring but Hardy lands a Whisper in the Wind to even the score. Hardy then keeps his offense going with some nice moves but has problems trying to close Lethal out with a pin. Missile dropkick hits on the money for Lethal out of nowhere but he only gets the two count.

RESULT: JEFF HARDY WINS

Thoughts: I’ve been saying for weeks now that Lethal keeps winning so he should break the rankings soon. Well he did break the rankings this week but he also lost his match. Solid outing for Hardy and hopefully he can keep moving up hill… until Angle reaches him that is.

-

Abyss says “they” will be coming to TNA and when they do, there is nothing anyone can do about them taking over. Abyss says “they” laid out a blueprint for Abyss and he says that they’re going to have a match.

Mick Foley appears at the top of the ramp to distract Abyss and then Raven, Rhino, Richards, and Dreamer jump the barrier and begin their attack. The TNA lockeroom heads down to take out the ECW Originals and the ring is full with pure CHAOS. Al Snow takes out a referee and that’s all I could make out in this brawl. I can only imagine that it’s like five on twenty but it seems pretty even.
