TNA iMPACT 11/30/06
I'll have Live as it happens coverage of the show. Hit refresh for the latest updates.
The show opens with a recap of the happenings from last week. Featured storylines are LAX and AMW as well as Abyss/Christian/Sting and Joe and Angle.
The New Girl is with LAX in the back. Konnan says things about Petey Williams and Kurt Angle their supposed opponents for tonight.
The iMPACT opening airs.
David Penzer introdcues Christian Cage as Mike Tenay announces Abyss/Christian/Sting for the title at Turning Point. Christian wants to make a formal introduction to the only man he trusts in the wrestling business. I guess he did a good impression of Sting last week, either that or made an impression on him, pick your poison. Christian is complaining about being put in the triple threat match at Turning Point. He's Undefeated and the biggest star in TNA. He says that at Turning Point it could be a single threat match, now that'd be different.
Christian now speaks to Abyss. Apparently Abyss and Tomko know each other and lets hope its not in the biblical sense. I bet this is forgotten eventually. Abyss' music plays and Christian just keeps talking as Mitchell and Abyss argue.
Now here come's Sting's music and if tradition holds then Sting should be soon to follow. Sting repells from the rfters and Don West calls him a dummy. That wasn't nice. Oh turns out it was a decoy as Sting sneaks in from the other side and attacks Christian and Tomko.
Sting wants to talk to Abyss man-to-man, face-to-face tonight and he tells Abyss to come alone. He may have also used the phrase, meet me at the treehouse during recess and check yes or no if that's ok.
A video with VKM airs, 10 thumbs up...or not. They want someone to sign something or they'll do something, but that's all I caught due to not caring.
With that we head to our first...
Commercial Break!!!
A Clerks II DVD commercian, and 1 about something to do with Constipation airs. Russo and his toilet humor.
Apparently, LAX decided to leave AMW's James Storm in a bad way during the commercial break.
Match 1: Top Contender to the X-division Title, Chris Sabin Vs. Jay Lethal Vs. Sonjay Dutt
Christopher Daniels is at the booth. After listening to Daniels talk about the men in this match, it is obvious he is better doing this as a heel. The 6 people in the crowd making noise must've been left over from the Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale.
Chris Sabin scores the fall after like 2 minutes. Seriously, this was a short match. They couldn't have had a short 1 on 1 match it had to be a 3 way for no good reason.
Winner: Chris Sabin
Daniels and Sabin are arguing after the match and now Jerry Lynn is out to say things. We don't hear these things of course its just between the 3 o them and the 20 people watching this show.
Now Chris Harris who went looking for LAX, found them and got a beatdown.
A revealing interview with AJ Styles is up later as well as Angle/Williams Vs. LAX for the tag titles. Cause you know, Williams and Angle have been winning lots of matches in the tag ranks lately.
Also we get more from VKM after the...
Commercial Break!!!
Back-to-back episodes of Unleashed follows this show. Old fights will draw a better rating than Russo's booking, but that means nothing. No, it doesn't mean anything at all, just ask Russo.
Turning Point Commercial Airs.
We're back with more VKM. This is the lamest video in the history of planet earth.
Robert Roode's CEO is asking people about Eric Young.
Jeremy Borash is plugging TNA's junk. Victory Road and Hard Justice now available at ShopTNA.com (great just what I need) action figures in stores and Turning point coming up.
Mike Tenay tries to get inside the pants of AJ Styles. He may have actually said mind but this is supposedly revealing so its not yet clear.
They need to change the name of this company to TNT. Total Nonstop Talking. AJ Styles had a hard live, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. This interview is now longer than the first match. Now Rhino is lecturing AJ about things.
LAX Vs. Joe, I mean Petey Williams...don't know why I typed Joe, and Kurt Angle. Sting will also talk with Abyss because this show has been short on interviews this week.
Now we move to a...
Commercial Break!!!
Commercial airs for Inside the UFC.
We now see Shelley/Starr/Nash/all the rest of the X-division. Nash is disappointed that none of the X-guys tested positive for Steriods. They're abiding by the TNA drug policy.
Match 2: Alex Shelley/Austin Starr Vs. Lance Hoyt and Ron Killings
I have no idea what they're doing in the ring because its not talking. I hear tell that this is called wrestling but I can neither confirm nor deny that.
Alex Shelley grabs the tights and gets the pin. Starr is telling the ref about Shelley's cheating and now the decision has been reversed.
This is so stupid. Why would Austin Starr cost himself the match? If this were real and you earned more for winning than losing why would he do this? It makes no sense.
Ms. Brooks is backstage and challenges Eric young to something I won't want to have to watch.
Commercial Break!!!
A commercial for the TNA Music CD airs.
Back with more VKM because I haven't committed suicide yet.
Sting calls out Abyss because its been a few seconds since anyone has talked. Now why Abyss' gets full ring introduction from David Penzer is beyond me.
Sting preaches to Abyss, calls him Chris and Jim Mitchell interupts. He says that Sting and Abyss are basically the same. Sting is telling Abyss to make his own decisions. I hope they have an idea for Mitchell when Abyss turns face.
Tomko and Christian attack Sting, more stuff happens and we go to break.
Wait, first the nameless faceless new girl appears and interviews Petey Williams. Even before Petey can say a word LAX knocks him out. I wonder what Kurt Angle will do without his tag team partner? I mean it will be hard for him getting used to a new partner when he and Williams had worked so well together. Oh well, I'm sure he's resourceful.
Commercial Break!!!
LAX is already in the ring, and here comes Angle. Angle is going it alone, or so it would seem. I bet it doesn't last that way for long. Yup, sure enough, Samoa Joe hits the ring.
Match ends with an Anklelock and A Kakina Clutch on LAX. However, because Joe wasn't a participant in the match it was ruled a no contest. This was so stupid, why is it a no contest but Joe was able to be tagged in without being DQed?
Winner: No Contest
Thoughts: Thumbs down for this show. Too much talking, not enough wrestling, too much stupidity. Fell flat to me.
