12/28/2006 TNA iMPACT recap

Welcome to the last OCC iMPACT recap ever


in 2006. Got you~!

That might've been a lame swerve but it was done to get you in the mood for Russo's booking.

T..N...A - We are wrestling!! Short matches that is.

A recap of last week starts with LAX giving Santa the Border Toss which still earns a thumbs up. Speaking of LAX we wish nothing but the best to Konnan as he battles his health issues.

JB outside Jim Cornette's office. Angle is arguing with Cornette which could happen on every show as far as I'm concerned. Since they're good together expect Russo to never write segments for them together again all-time all his life. Angle wants his rematch and he will get it.

The iMPACT opening airs and we got Mike Tenay. Tonight we get the presentation of Mr. TNA 2006, still the gayest name ever for an award.

We're headed to the ring for our first match.

Match 1: Chris Sabin and James Storm Vs. Petey Williams & Christopher Daniels
James Storm's new music has a very distinct country twang to it. At least its distinct. For those curious I have no idea why this match is taking place but I guess its because Sabin and Daniels are feuding and Williams and Storm are feuding even though Williams wrestled Daniels last week or was it 2 weeks ago? Oh well the important thing is that I navaire raspact a gay~!

We get the first reference to the knightstick on a poll match later in this show. It had been a couple weeks since anything was on a poll so really it was time.

In the breakup of AMW Chris Harris ended up with Gail Kim. This makes him the clear winner no matter how the feud plays out because dude, he got Gail Kim.

Williams went for the Destroyer but something happens. Sabin has a chair and this draws out Jerry Lynn. About a million things happen in 15 seconds and James Storm hits Williams with a chair and gets the pin.

Winners: Chris Sabin and James Storm

Jerry Lynn takes his shirt off cause you know that's when a man means business. Tenay calls the 3-way with Daniels/Lynn/Sabin the Past Present and Future of the X-division. I'm guessing Lynn is the past, Daniels the Present and Sabin the future...which is not a lock since Russo loves to swerve.

We go backstage to see Samoa Joe arriving late to the building that man has no respect for authority. He's on crutches which Tenay says is thanks to Kurt Angle.

Commercial Break!!!

JB is backstage and is too excited with the prospect of the Knightstick on a poll match. Abyss and Mitchell are there and Mitchell is asking Abyss who's side he's on. Mitchell says that Christian and Tomko know the result of Abyss' secret but Mitchell himself knows the cause. These guys need to get on Oprah right now.

Tenay and West say things and now Latisha is backstage with Samoa Joe. Joe claims to have no injury, well the therapists would disagree and so would the crutches. Joe says he wants the world title and Angle will get no rematch. At least someone wants the NWA title.

Team 3D come out and talk about how no tag teams are left. They say that the Naturals are gone, VKM is feuding with VKM (see its clever and by clever I mean stupid) they point out that LAX is the only team left even though they said no teams were left.
Runt wants to know where the hell Team 3D was when LAX was kicking his ass. Its now the family feud issue of TNA iMPACT with Geraldo Tenay and Montel West.
Runt attacks Brother Ray and Ray tells D-von to get a table but he won't because hell why should he? So Ray gets his own. Here come the champs. They take control of 3D and the brawl is on as we go to a ...

Commercial Break!!!
Joe is going to kill you ... at Final Resolution. The commercial talks about his quest for the title which he will not be questing for at that show.

We're back from the break and the brawl is still going on. Chairs are being used tables are involved and the crowd is definitely into this. This feud did have to happen eventually so its good that it has happened now. Team 3D apparently are the winners of the brawl because their music plays.

The PCS skit is on and god help me I can't believe I say this but I love these skits.

Latisha is now backstage with Christian. Christian the heel is so awesome. Latisha apparently is making the effort to learn about wrestling which instantly makes her better than a lot of the diva search bimbos.
Christian's brow-beating of her is funny. After he's done cutting an ok promo we go to a...

Commercial Break!!!
Its 8:28 PM and we've had 1 match. I don't necessarily mind angle heavy shows but this is a bit much.

Oh good we're back with VKM. B.G. asks a fan if the skits they put on are any good and we get a no. The fan could've been talking about these skits for all I know.

Match 2: Robert Roode w/o Ms. Brooks Vs. Lance Hoyt w/Ron Killings

Hoyt gets the "What's Up" song for his ring music instead of his other song which is less memorable.

Killings goes to the broadcast booth. Tenay used the phrase Shizzle and that is so out of place it earns a thumbs up.

Winner: Robert Roode
Don't ask me how because:
  1. I was talking to Ric Gillespie on AIM.
  2. I don't care.


JB is with Eric Young who is apparently going to lose control. He'd better shape p cause I need a man, someone to keep me satisfied...god bless Grease.

We then get the entrences of Christian and Sting for their knightstick on a poll match before the...

Commercial Break!!!

I want a poll on a poll match and I can't be the only one. I think we should take a survey to find out if I'm the only one so we have a pole to see about a poll on a poll match and the poles close at 8.

A commercial airs for the Ultimate Fight Night Marathon on New Year's Day and that is something I'm down with at this time.

Abyss comes out to the ring. Apparently James Mitchell is also losing control that seems to be a pattern tonight.

Sting has the knightstick as I missed a lot of this match talking to Ric about the Year-end awards we'll be doing and they will be known as the Sheikies.

Winner: Sting
Tomko holds Sting and Christian goes to hit him with the stick and not his famous stick if you smell what the rock is cooking cause that's how he roles and that's the bottom line because its time to play the game when hulkamania runs wild on you to be the man you've got to believe in distrusity Ooooooh yeah, its true, its true!

The year-end awards are announced I'm sure they'll be on the website.

Cornette and Tenay are in the ring. Cornette says he can see no other way that's fair so he makes an elimination 3-way for the title at Final Resolution. Uh, since Sting won the knightstick match isn't it fair that he should get the shot?

Joe wins Mr. TNA and Kurt Angle is with Joe's random wacky girlfriend and threatens the anklelock if he doesn't give him the rematch. Joe refuses and she gets anklelocked and lord was this terrible. So I guess Angle's back to being a heel for this week so expect the face turn next week.

Overall: What a piece of dreck this show was, nothing stood out as anything that meant anything. Nothing was wacky enough to earn an automatic thumbs up but the PCS skit did earn a thumbs up but it wasn't automatic.
