iMPACT! *Spoilers* For the Next Month

Machismo Fan

January 31st (it's more than likely not in the right order and everything might not be on the right show):

TNA taped the steel cage match from Manchester between Mr. Anderson and Kurt Angle first. Angle won a great match back and forth before a masked Aces and Eights member attacked angle and revealed himself to be Garett Biscoff. Wes Briscoe came for the save and turned himself revealing another Aces and Eights jacket.

*Impact then taped their opening. Bad Influence dressed as Scotsmen in kilts and bragged about beating Jeff Hardy up but lost due to Hardys' face paint being toxic. They were ran off by Magnus (huge pop) who then challenged Devon as part of Open Fight Night. D.O.C and the former Mike Knox came down. Magnus threw all of them over the top rope and posed as Aces and Eights retreated.

*Earl Hebner came out next to huge heat. UK fans are huge Bret fans.

*Joseph Park came out to a huge pop for Open Fight Night and calls out .... but before he has chance to say who, Robbie E. interrupts. He rips the UK crowd before teasing a stare down with Robbie T, who seems offended. The match between Park and Robbie E was fun. The crowd was very involved. Parks won with a big splash! Fun match.

*Austin Aries out next, accompanied by Bobby Roode. There was huge pop for Aries and they had to rip the crowd for heat. He called out Chavo Guerrero with the stip that he beats him, then he and Roode get a tag title shot. Massive Austin Aries chants. It should be interesting to see how this is edited for the TV show. Aries wins to a huge pop.

*Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan out next. Bully is over huge as a face. Big, big pop. Bully asks for his suspension to be lifted. He called Hulk Hogan family and said they have a common enemy. Bully called out Sting out to appeal to Hogan. Sting comes out to a massive pop. Huge respect for Sting. Sting calls Hogan out. Biggest pop of the night as the Hulkster comes down. Bully opens the ropes for Hogan. Sting asks Hogan to side with him and Bully against aces. Hogan says he did the right thing for Brooke walking her down the aisle and will do the right thing again and reinstates Bully. Hogan announces next week it's Aces and Eights vs. Sting and Bully Ray in a tables match.

*Velvet Sky calls out Tara and Jessie. James Storm comes down to make it a tag match. Storm gets a great reaction and it's a shame TNA can't get out of Orlando more with live crowds Like tonight. There is a pedigree by Sky for the win.

*RVD vs. Zema Ion vs. Kenny King. RVD was the crowd favorite and match started with big RVD chants. This was a great match with all three hitting their spots. There were TNA chants from the crowd. RVD hits a frog splash on Kenny but pinned the already down Ion for the win

February 7th:

1. Austin Aries and Bobby Roode beat Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez to win the TNA Tag Titles. A good match some with funny spots between Aries and Roode.

2. James Storm beat Jessie.

3. Miss Tessmacher beat Tara in a non-title match. I didn't watch the wrestling. I was enjoying the lovely view of Christy Hemme.

4. Samoa Joe beat Christopher Daniels. Joe absolutely destroyed him.

5. Sting and Bully Ray beat Devon and DOC. Bully Ray put Devon through the table. Afterwards, the Hogans came out to celebrate with them. I missed a couple of things with going to the bar, but I was told that Hogan reinstated Bully Ray earlier on and set up this match.

There was also a bit with Rockstar Spud and Robbie E. Robbie T turned on Robbie E.

February 14th:

* Hulk Hogan kicks off Impact with an in-ring segment where he puts over London fans and announces a number one contenders tournament for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

* Matches in the tournament include: RVD vs. James Storm, Christopher Daniels vs. Magnus, Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe and Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode. Hogan will then announce the number one contender afterwards.

* Hogan then puts Sting over as the greatest wrestler of all time. Sting makes his way out and puts over the London fans as well. Sting says he will pick three wrestlers from the heavyweight tournament to be his partners in a match against the Aces and Eights at Lockdown.

* Magnus defeated Christopher Daniels after an elbow drop off the top rope. Kazarian was ejected from ringside during the match. Magnus received a massive reaction from the crowd.

* Bobby Roode and Austin Aries argue before their match about who should lay down. The match ends in a double count-out when they are distracted by Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez.

* Kurt Angle wrestled Samoa Joe to a no contest. Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff interfered in the match. Angle appeared to have his hamstring taped up.

* Tara, Gail Kim and Jessie defeated The Blossom Twins and Party Marty. There was a spot in the match where Marty hurt himself on a suicide dive on Jessie but he's said to have recovered.

* Gail Kim asks for a Knockouts title match. Brooke gives her the match for next week's Impact. The match will be a four way elimination with Tessmacher, Gail Kim, Velvet Sky and Tara.

* James Storm defeated RVD after a Last Call following RVD missing a Van Terminator. Both men received a great reaction from the crowd.

* Hulk Hogan comes out to announce the number one contender but Aces & Eights circle the ring. Bully Ray comes out with chain in hand followed by Sting with a baseball bat. Aces & Eights retreat. Show ends.

February 21st:

* Rockstar Spud defeated Robbie E in a quick match with a roll up. Rob Terry turned on Robbie E after the match.

* Joseph Park, James Storm, Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero defeated Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries in an eight-man tag team match. Park pinned Kazarian after a big splash from the second rope. Park was very over with the crowd.

* RVD defeated Kenny King with a five star frog splash to retain the X Division title.

* Bully Ray, who was not a part of the tournament, is announced as the number one contender. So Bully Ray will face Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship.

* Bully puts over the other guys in the tournament and said all he wanted was to earn Hulk Hogan's respect. Bully suggests the main event of Impact be a six-man tag team match with Sting, Hogan and Bully facing the Aces and Eights.

* Samoa Joe defeated Garett Bischoff by disqualification after Wes Brisco interfered and Angle made the save. Kurt Angle announces he will face Wes Brisco at Lockdown.

* Velvet Sky defeated Tara, Gail Kim and Miss Tessmacher in a four-way elimination match to win the Knockouts title. Jessie was ejected from ringside and Brooke Hogan came out to watch. Gail pinned Tara, then Velvet pinned Tessmacher and Gail.

* Main event ended up being a handicap match as Hulk Hogan never showed up during his entrance (likely to be added as a backstage attack on TV). Devon, DOC and Mr. Anderson defeated Bully Ray and Sting when DOC pinned Sting as Bully Ray was distracted by Aces members with Brooke.

* After the match, the Aces and Eights beat down on Sting and the babyfaces on the TNA roster come out to make the save. End of show. Dixie Carter thanks the fans for attending.

Was too lazy to compile this cheers, MF.

Ace and Eights is easily the worst stable ever. Spud shouldn't be positioned as a babyface if he wrestles in the States. Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries is some foursome. Glad they gave the crow a few title changes. But overall meh.

Plus they're wrestling Joseph Park, it's pretty much everything good about TNA in one match. A bit of a mixed bag, particularly them doing a tournament thingy and then just giving the shot to Bully (though I do smell a title change). Surprised they didn't put the TV title on Magnus aswell. Crowd should help carry a lot of the stuff though.

Bully Ray, who was not a part of the tournament, is announced as the number one contender.

Sounds like a push for Magnus or is it just a UK tour push?

I'm hoping the former he's got a LOT of potential imo.

So Garrett Bischoff is a member of Aces & 8s? Gee, I wonder who the leader of A&8s now. :rolleyes:

Just when it seemed like TNA was turning the corner they go back to WCW 2.0 mode.

I agree btw where is Doug Williams these days?

I'd prefer Kaz, Daniels or Park to get title match against Hardy over Ray

Park had no chance tbh but CD's run? with Jeff was more of a brief flirtation.
Douglas is training guys in OVW apparently, then making the odd appearance.

Magnus has been getting those mini pushes since he debuted. They never last for some reason. Hopefully this one will be different as he has everything needed if TNA are willing to get behind him.
