Back to home
-Backstage Area- JB snuck up on Brother Ray and Devon talking to someone behind a door, and they said that they have his back if he has theirs. Devon notices and tells JB to get out of there. -Brother Ray vs Homicide- *I would have thought it would be Hernandez vs Brother Ray but guess not* Homicide quickly attacked Ray with revenge on his mind. Homicide had the match won with an Ace Crusher, but Brother Devon jumped Homicide with a Kendo stick. Devon then brought out a table, but Hernandez made the save for Homicide. Before Hernandez could put Devon through the table, Booker T stormed out to help Team 3D take LAX apart. LAX took multiple belt shots to the head from the heels while Ray cut a promo on Hector into the hard camera. Devon finished off the deal with a powerbomb of Homicide through the table. -Winner:Homicide- -Backstage with Karen Angle- Borash caught up with Karen Angle backstage. Borash was very excited. Karen told Borash not to make a fool of himself and that prepare to be shocked, then she walked off. Suddenly, Kong and Raisha shoved Borash into the wall. Raisha handed him a note, then they walked off. Borash quickly read over it and muttered something about $25,000. -Commercial Break- -Backstage with ODB- Lauren brought in ODB for an interview. ODB took a swig from her flask, then said she hates big fake boobies and peroxide blondes like Angelina and Velvet. She grabbed Lauren's hands and placed them on her breasts to make the point that hers are 100 percent real. ODB vowed to shove her flask between their cheeks. *The whole time Lauren had a smile on her face* -Angelina Love vs ODB- ODB spewed alcohol into Angelina's face to get the upper hand. ODB had control most match with power moves left and right until Angelina ducked ODB and ODB ran into the second rope where Velvet clocked ODB with the flask. Angelina Love covered ODB for the win. -Winner: Angelina Love- -After the match- Love and Sky beat down ODB and were going to shave ODB's hair until Roxxi ran out and beat up the bad girls. Roxxi wanted to shave Love's hair but Rudy Charles didn't let that happen, so Roxxi gave Rudy the Rox Drop move. -Commercial Break- -In the Ring- Samoa Joe walked out with Kevin Nash. Joe was holding the TNA Title belt over his shoulder instead of Nash. He said he'll give his four picks for the King of the Mountain match. Joe said him and Nash went through a list of potential candidates and had some tough calls to make. He put over A.J. Styles, then announced him as his first pick, which drew an "A.J." chant. Joe's next two picks were Rhino and Christian Cage. So, that leaves him with his fourth pick. He walked over to Nash and started talking up someone. Nash thought he was talking about him, but Joe said it's Booker T. Nash was left a little stunned. Joe then cut a promo on Booker T. Nash took a mic and asked what's going on. He asked Joe how he can watch his back if he's not in the match. Joe said the people don't pay to see someone have his back. He said they pay to see him beat people up and be a real World champ. Nash took a step back and asked Joe if he really knows how to be a World champion. He gave a verbal challenge to Joe about not doing what he's told. Nash equated their relationship to a machine and said when one part breaks down, the whole thing breaks down. Nash mumbled something to Joe, then left the ring. -Backstage with Frank Trigg, Kurt Angle- Borash excitedly talked up Kurt Angle and Frank Trigg while they walked into the men's restroom. Kurt and Trigg took a whiz in the urinal while Kurt suggested they go out for beers. Trigg said Kurt should spend some time with Karen tonight. Kurt laughed at that notion, then both men finished up their business. Trigg asked Borash why he's always in his face. Angle said that's just Borash being Borash. -Commercial Break- -Lauren with Lethal, Val, Dutt, RNRInfection- Lauren caught up with Lethal, Val, and Dutt to talk about the wedding plans for Slammiversary. Dutt was not happy with anything. Val said Rock 'n Rave has asked to audition for the wedding band. Christy Hemme, in a slinky top, led out Hoyt and Rave. Val asked if they're in a strip club, or whether this is a wedding. Dutt announced Ace Young will be at Impact next week. Lethal commented on the lack of realness to the musical audition with a piano playing out of nowhere. This led to a giant argument that led to Rock N Rave Infection beating down Lethal and Dutt backstage. -A video package of Abyss aired detailing how he is almost cured to go home and that he has and always will crave blood, pain, suffering.- -Commercial Break- -Backstage with Bobby Roode- Lauren brought in Robert Roode for a pre-match promo. Roode said maybe it's time to smile for once. He let the camera get a good look at his smile, then he cut that off and said that's not happening. Roode said he's spinning his wheels in TNA for four years, and he finally gets his TNA Title opportunity after the powers-that-be finally figured out they can't keep him down any longer. Roode said Booker finally figured out how things work in TNA, and he sarcastically told him he's welcome. Roode cut a promo on Morgan, then left to the ring. -Robert Roode vs Matt Morgan KOTM Qualifier- Roode controlled the early going, but Morgan Hulked Up and landed a sidewalk slam. Morgan choked out Roode in the corner, then he picked up Hebner and yelled at him for demanding a rope break. After putting Hebner down, Morgan turned around and found a roll up pin from Roode. Roode hooked his feet on the ropes to secure a pin for the win. -Winner: Robert Roode- -Commercial Break- -Eric Young's Search for Elvis continued...- -In the Ring with Kurt/Karen- urt Angle walked out to the ring in a sharp suit. He cut right to the chase and welcomed out the most beautiful woman in the world, his wife 'til death do us part, Mrs. Karen Angle. Karen walked out and the fans chanted, "Karen Styles" before Kurt addressed their situation. Karen had a look of wanting Kurt to be sincere and emotionally connected to her. Kurt reiterated the sarcastic roles for their family, then Karen snapped back that Kurt doesn't realize the effect his words have on her. Kurt said he knows Karen gets caught up watching Dr. Phil, but this is who he is. Karen said that's why it will never work. She dropped the d-word on Kurt, but Kurt cut her off and said he can be the man she wants him to be. Karen screamed that Kurt is not capable of changing. "I'm telling you I can change!" Kurt shouted. Kurt accused Karen of messing around with Styles, then Karen screamed that he is only her friend and he's there for her emotionally. Kurt got down on both knees and groveled for a second chance. He played the kids card while the fans chanted, "We want A.J." Karen thought it over while looking down at Kurt. She then turned and walked out of the ring while Kurt begged her to come back. Karen took one last look back into the ring, then walked through the tunnel. Kurt looked as if he was about to cry like a girl. -Commercial Break- -Backstage with Raisha, Kong- Borash brought in Raisha and Kong to discuss the $25,000 challenge. Borash said it's crazy for Kong to challenge someone in the audience because of the legal ramifications. Raisha pulled out a waiver for the person to sign before getting his or her butt kicked by Kong. -Backstage with AJ Styles- Lauren said life is tough for Styles right now. Styles said him and Karen are just friends. He said he could tell Kurt that 100 times, but he'll never believe it. Styles said Tomko bailed on him, so he had to find a partner in Deuces Wild. Suddenly, Tomko walked in and cut a promo on Styles. Styles screamed that he's tired of listening to Tomko and Kurt's bullying tactics. Tomko said he can respect that, then he quickly shook Styles's hand and told him he can be his own man by...him...self. -Commercial Break- -Sting Interview- Part 2 of Sting's interview with Mike Tenay, which included Sting's thoughts on Jeff Jarrett not being on the show lately. Asked if he's talked to Jarrett in the last year, Sting casually said no. He then qualified that by saying, well, he's had a few conversations with Jarrett. Sting talked about running around with Jeff in Jerry Jarrett's TV studio back in the day. -In Ring with Borash- Borash announced another qualifying match, but Awesome Kong and Raisha interrupted. Borash tried to explain why this idea sucks, but Raisha cut him off and opened a briefcase with plenty of dollar bills. Raisha threatened to have Kong destroy Borash if he didn't put out the invite. Borash took a deep breath, then he asked the crowd if there's any females over the age of 18 who want to take the challenge. Some guy raised his hand. He's confused by this bush league angle. Suddenly, a very fit woman raised her hand. Borash brought her to ringside. Kong just stared her down. -Commercial Break- -Awesome Kong vs Melissa- They returned with the random woman in a fighting stance circling the ring before Kong smacked her in the face. The woman, named Melissa from Erie, Pa., took a beating. Don West said maybe the $25,000 isn't worth the beating. Kong continued to beat on her until delivering an Awesome Bomb. Kong made the cover for the win. -Winner: Awesome Kong- -Lauren with Team 3D- Ray said they got screwed out of the tag titles at the PPV, so this is just old school retribution. He said they put LAX through a table tonight, and Lauren seemed to like that a little. 3D moved out of camera range to show Booker T sitting on a bench staring at the ground. He said he wants some respect around here. Booker asked why he should hang out with kiss-asses like Styles and Joe. He then said Styles will be a mere stepping stone on the way to King of the Mountain. Booker cut a promo on the poor locker room conditions he's being subjected to by TNA management. He said he's sick and tired of this treatment. Booker then over-turned a free-standing locker prop before telling Lauren to leave. -Commercial Break- -AJ Styles vs Booker T KOTM Qualifier- AJ grabbed his crown and tossed it away. AJ dominated a part of the match and hit a drop kick on Booker. Tomko walked out to ringside four minutes into the match to watch Styles gain control. Styles wanted the springboard dive on Booker, but Tomko tripped him from the outside. Booker then took advantage with the book-end on Styles for the win. -Winner: Booker T- -After the Match- AJ shoved Tomko and they almost got into a brawl before security came down. -Commercial Break- -In Ring- In-ring: They returned with Styles and Tomko brawling in the ring. Suddenly, Team 3D and Booker stormed the ring to beat down Styles, who tried to fight them all off by himself. The numbers game finally caught up to Styles, who took a pounding while refs tried to intervene. To no avail, as Tomko gave Styles a chain shot to the head. Booker choked out Earl and told him to stay down. More abuse of those sad referees. Styles came up bleeding from the forehead and the heels continued to beat him down. Karen had enough and ran to the ring to check on Styles, who was flat on his back in center ring. The heels backed off while Karen cradled Styles's head. Karen then slapped Ray across the face before Ray called her names and told her to get out of his ring. Karen left the ring and went to the back while the heels went back on the attack. Suddenly, Kurt Angle stormed the ring with a chair in hand. The heels left the ring while Karen checked on Styles. Kurt then looked down at Styles and Karen. He grabbed her by the hair and shoved her around the ring. Styles slowly came to his knees while Karen tried to talk some sense into Kurt. Kurt then looked at Styles and gave him a wicked chair shot to the side of the head. Team 3D then held a visibly upset Karen while Kurt screamed at her that this - the beating on Styles - is her fault. -End of Impact- -My Thoughts: Show was really great, and its better to see AJ Styles as a face now instead of a heel wrestler! The Prince AJ gimmick is now dead! I can't wait till next week! Views: 875

It could have been better with more coverage of the moves etc, and it kinda made me bored about half-way through. Better luck next time.

Rubbish show!!! The story line is going to have to change. I just dont care about the Angles marital problems. Take a month off Kurt and try to fix it but leave it at home. If it's just a story line, change it. I think that's the reason the ratings are down.

I hope they want to end this Angle storyline on Slammiversary whit this AJ - Kurt Angle match. It's really used up right now. I'm really curious how will Booker as a heel go cause I doubt that Joe will loose his title at KOTM match. Will he continue to feud with Joe, or maybe Johnny Devine will beat him cause he took his place as a 3D's closest guy ;p
Seriously, not a bad show, I,m glad that AJ is now a face and threw away the crown. However I now that they can do much better.
PS. The move that Roxi gave to a reffere is voodoo drop not rox drop.

AJ Styles is a face again and the prince gimmick is dropped! Hallelujah! Now Christopher Daniels needs to drop the Curry Man character so he and AJ can team up again and win the TNA tag titles! That is, once LAX loses them to a heel tag team like Team 3D or Rock and Rave Infection(like they'll ever win tag gold!)

The "fan" that Awesome Kong defeated in the $25,ooo challenge was actually hired by TNA for this show, she is a member of Team 3-D's training school.
But thats obvious to proper wrestling fans.
