Pre-Show Tryout Match: Generation Me b. Los Ben Dejos w/Simon Diamond. Simon was introduced as El Grando Wizard. Generation Me won via combo springboard leg drop and standing shooting star press. Los Ben Dejos are local graduates of the Team 3D Academy and wrestle local indies.

TNA iMPACT (Airing Thursday 5/13):

* Eric Bischoff comes out to open to the show and he says he really does love each and everyone of us. He introduces the TNA Heavyweight Champion, Rob Van Dam. TNA has a poll to see the top ten rankings to see who he'd face. Jeff Hardy is the next on the list after Desmond Wolfe, so nothing would be better than RVD vs. Hardy tonight. Only problem is no one can find Hardy so they'll give him the night off.

* RVD says he loves being champ and the best thing is defending the belt so no night off for because he's the whole F'N show. AJ Styles' music hits and he comes out and says watch your mouth, you're a champion for God's sake and a role model. He asks RVD if he wants to wrestle because AJ is in the mood to hurt someone. AJ asks if he thinks the people came to see RVD? No, they came to see AJ because he is TNA. He says even though he has RVD in 3 days, he still wants the match tonight because he will always be champ. Jeff Hardy's music hits and out he comes. He says he's been confused by the new days to show up and doesn't have a secretary but he's here tonight for his match. AJ protests and says it's his match. Hardy says RVD is the champ so how about he makes it a 3 way? Bischoff says that's a great idea and says the match is tonight.

* Jeremy Borash backstage with the Beautiful People talking about Tara. Madison Rayne says Tara needs to get over it that she's not the champ anymore and she is now. Velvet Sky says they're going to stay champs after the PPV because she said so. Lacey interrupts because she really has to pee and runs off. Madison asks why she's here and Velvet says it's because she's pretty, that's why.

* Tara b. Taylor Wilde after Taylor went for a springing splash off the second turnbuckle and Tara kicked her in the gut and got the pin. Afterward Tara beat Taylor with her knee brace. Sarita ran out for the save.

* They showed footage of Chelsea in the back crying while a major scene was going down with security and officials trying to find out what's going on. Desmond was trying to get some room for her as this was going on.

* Brian Kendrick comes out to the ring for a match, but before we find out who his opponent is, we go back to the backstage area where Chelsea is still crying as police are coming to investigate.

* Brian Kendrick vs. Douglas Williams. He still has the X Division belt with him. Before the match, Douglas calls Kendrick a loser and hasn't seen him a single Match so he isn't worthy of a shot at the title so this is non title. Kazarian comes out to join the commentary table. During the match, Kaz comes to the ring to get the belt and it distracts Williams long enough for Kendrick to get the win via schoolboy.

* Christy Hemme in the back tries to get a word with Pat Kenney about a possible assailant. Kenney says he can't believe what he heard and leaves. After Generation Me comes to the ring, they immediately go to the back and Christy Hemme says if the assailant is true it will be major news. Police aren't allowing the name to be released.

* Generation Me vs Matt Morgan ends in apparent no contest after Morgan gives one the Hellevator and the other the Carbon Footprint. Morgan gets on the mic and says they warned Hogan there'd be carnage if he didn't tell him who their partner would be at Sacrifice. Morgan gets ready to stomp one of the Me's and Samoa Joe comes out for the save and Musclebusters Morgan and takes off.

* After Joe is gone and Morgan is out, the Band come out with the briefcase for the tag title shot. Nash and Hall cash it in. Nash just pins Morgan immediately. Winner and new TNA Tag Team Champions, the Band.

* Ink Inc. (Jesse Neal and Shannon Moore) b. Beer Money, Motor City Machine Guns and Team 3D after Neal speared Brother Ray. One of Shannon Moore's earrings was ripped out and he's bleeding profusely. After the match, Team 3D gets in Jesse's face afterwards, mad that they're the ones who trained him and got him here and this the thanks they get.

* Rob Terry vs. Abyss for the Global Title never takes place because Abyss doesn't come out when his music plays. Orlando Jordan sneaks in from the crowd and low blows Terry and holds onto Terry's package for a prolonged time.

* Jordan then gets a pipe and beats Terry with it. He shows Terry a playing card, probably the queen of hearts, and then throws the deck on Terry. Jordan gets on the mic and says it's about time to cut the foreplay. He does what he wants, says what he wants and acts how he wants because he's the TNA wildcard. He asks if the people want him to leave. They say yes. OJ says he'll let them fulfill their every fantasy. He challenges anyone in the back to make him leave. Tomko comes out and we get Orlando Jordan vs. Tomko. Winner via guillotine choke, Orlando Jordan.

* Backstage, Bischoff says Tara sure is going to wrestle again. Her attitude has been piss poor and what she did to Taylor was uncalled for. He tells her to get out to the ring right now.

* Tara b. Sarita after hitting Sarita with her knee brace while the ref was blinded. Afterwards she attacked Sarita but the ref broke it up.

* AJ Styles b. TNA Champion Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy in a Triple Threat match to win the Title. Mr. Anderson came out during the match and attacked Hardy. At the same time, AJ pulled the referee in the way of an RVD top rope sidekick. AJ dove onto everybody on the outside. RVD got spiked with a DDT on the outside and AJ rolled him in for the win.

* Hardy gets on the mic with RVD afterwards. He tells RVD to leave because he's got this. He calls Anderson to the ring right now and let's do this. Anderson makes like he's going to the ring but goes to leave instead. Hogan's music hits and Hogan won't let him leave. Hardy attacks Anderson and they begin to brawl all over the place. Hardy swantons off the announce table onto a prone Mr. Anderson who was on a table below.

Xplosion:

* From Generation Me, Matt Buck vs. Kazarian. Winner via his finisher, Kazarian. It's like if someone goes for a code red and the person taking it holds on and drops down to his knees, I just don't know what to call it.

* Homicide & Okada vs Ink Inc. Winner via Spear from Jesse Neal to Homicide, Ink Inc.

Hall and Nash are the new TNA Tag team champs?!?! Didn't Hogan say they were gonna put over the young stars in TNA?

That means Ink Inc dont have a match at Sacrifice and 3d match against the band will be for the titles??? Typical given the belts to Hogans friend while there are other teams who can actually work a decent match. Have a feeling they will hold onto them for awhile eg Steiner/Booker

* AJ Styles b. TNA Champion Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy in a Triple Threat match to win the Title. Mr. Anderson came out during the match and attacked Hardy. At the same time, AJ pulled the referee in the way of an RVD top rope sidekick. AJ dove onto everybody on the outside. RVD got spiked with a DDT on the outside and AJ rolled him in for the win.

* Hardy gets on the mic with RVD afterwards. He tells RVD to leave because he's got this. He calls Anderson to the ring right now and let's do this. Anderson makes like he's going to the ring but goes to leave instead. Hogan's music hits and Hogan won't let him leave. Hardy attacks Anderson and they begin to brawl all over the place. Hardy swantons off the announce table onto a prone Mr. Anderson who was on a table below.

So AJ wins the title back, on Impact, about 2/3 weeks after losing it to RVD, and yet the close of the show is Jeff Hardy Swantoning Anderson through a table after Hogan came out to stop Anderson from leaving.

Whatever about The Band winning the tag titles, this is what I'd be concerned with

Sorry, I'm confused as the source I got this got this says it was a title match yet it was a non-title match according to PWInsider??

I think RVD still is champion (I'm going along with PWInsider)

Jay Lethal got Flair's ring and gave it back to him last week

Yawn. Russo is said to be burnt-out by the business and has apparently been stepping back from the booking in recent weeks, seeking a spot in another part of the company instead, by all accounts.

Impact was dreadfull last week though. Started out brilliantly with the Jay Lethal segment, and then just fell off a cliff. Will be interesting to see what this week's is like, but my enthusiasm is at a record low after the burial of Lethal, Wolfe and Terry last week, plus the awful, awful Hardy/Anderson and Hogan/Sting segments.

He more than likely had a hand in the whole thing, but it seems unfair and unfounded to rest the many flaws of TNA's product on his shoulders alone.

Yeah, esp with Bischoff, Dixie and Hogan getting the final say in it as well

Can't believe I'm typing this but Sorry Russo

So new TNA is basically old WCW?

Mr.Nice Guy

If RVD lost the belt so soon it is a joke. And putting any belt on Hall is a bad idea. Honestly this company has seemingly no patience. It's as if they will throw any sh*t together and hope something works. Idiots.

flahavaj

I was excited about TNA after Lockdown and the excellent Impact that followed it. But I also knew that EVERY single time they have done some great stuff in their history they do something monumentally stupid to follow it up. Its like they don't want fans to be happy.

And here they've gone and done it again. The Band pin a singles guy to win the world tag belts. In 2010. And RVD's title reign lasts all of one full TV show. Brilliant.

Don't be too sure on the RVD title reign, I'm not sure if it's true (conflicting sources)

geeky

Honestly, sweet jesus. They have the most stacked roster since the old WCW and they're dishing out this? Like, I've said before that I'm pleasantly surprised by Hall's performance since joining the company, but he's hardly one of the faces you want for a vibrant, young wrestling promotion is he?

Re RVD, possibly they don't want 'Mr. Monday Night' as the main-eventer on thursdays :pac:

D2D

They didn't change the title at the tapings, RVD still has it.

Jeff Hardy is back on trial next Monday, which means he could be in jail by the time the 13th May impact- which he features in heavily-airs.

I think he'll be put on community service. Actually, maybe the judge will put him away for a bit to teach him a lesson? Or even rehab again. I'd perfere for Hardy to be cleaner; he seems a bit too out there for my liking at the moment.
