JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 Jimmy Hart came out to open the show. He introduced Jeremy Borash who came out with the TNA Girls. XPLOSION MATCHES (1) The 3 Live Kru beat Kid Kash & Dallas & Michael Shane. The finish came when Ron "The Truth" Killings hit the scissor kick. A solid and fun opening match. The 3 Live Kru definitely knows how to work the crowd. (2) A.J. Styles beat Alex Shelly. This was the match of night by far. This was just an awesome match and it's too bad that it wasn't on Impact. The finish saw Styles roll up Shelly for the win. Excellent match. Abyss ran out after the match and went after Styles but Styles got out of the ring before Abyss had a chance to do anything. This led to Goldylocks chewing out Abyss. IMPACT TAPINGS (1) "Wildcat" Chris Harris wrestled "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels to a time limit draw. Pretty good match with some nice work from both men. The crowd wasn't really into the match and the start but with solid effort by both men the crowd was pretty into it by the end. After time ran out Larry Zbyszko came out and said that it would be too difficult to declare a winner therefore next Wednesday it will be Triple X vs. America's Most Wanted vs. The Naturals. (2) The Amazing Red & Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt beat three local wrestlers. Another pretty good match that saw the end come when Sonjay Dutt hit a 450 splash. Sonjay Dutt looked really good tonight and had some very nice spots. (3) Team Canada beat Mikey Batts & Jerell Clark & Rod Steele & Bruce Steele. Rather short match that saw then end come when Petey Williams hit the Canadian Destroyer. Good match while it lasted. (4) Abyss defeated Sonny Siaki. The end came when Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam. Good match with Abyss being rather popular with the crowd. Abyss ended up taking out Shelly in the middle of the match which led to him getting chewed out afterwards by Goldylocks. The 6 Points of Impact aired. This week's guest is a NASCAR driver. (5) Jeff Jarrett beat Frankie Capone. Really short match the saw Capone get little to no offense. The end came when Jarrett hit the stroke. Not all that great of a match. (6) Jeff Hardy beat Kazarian. Jeff Hardy got the win with the Swanton Bomb after Michael Shane accidentally superkicked Kazarian. Solid match with Hardy being very popular with the ladies. Hardy seems to be making some improvements with his in-ring work. Show Notes: Really good show this week. Several really good match especially Styles versus Shelly. I really can't say enough about that match. Its not that it went so long, it only went about ten minutes, but it was excellent while it lasted. It had a little bit of everything and everything went perfectly. Match of the night by far. I'm tired of seeing a Jeff Jarrett one-minute squash every week. It just seems like a big waste of time to me. It does nothing to help his character like they seem to think it does. It just makes it look like he's not that good of a wrestler. Crowd Notes: Tonight was the biggest crowd that I have seen in a couple weeks. At least since Hurricane Charley came through. The crowd was also the loudest its ever been. I think that's because its starting to become more fans than tourists. For the first couple weeks it was mostly people from Universal Studios that just came because they had a free ticket not because they came to see wrestling. Now its mostly fans who came to see a wrestling event so they're loud and into the show and that always makes for a fun environment. Good show tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 27, 2004 ...At least Jarrett is squashing a nobody this time instead of actual wrestlers on the roster. Who didn't guess the outcome for the Harris/Daniels Match? TLD....tsk tsk tsk. When will the guy learn that those are just dark matches, not Xplosion tapings. The Xplosion matches are taped before the actual PPV broadcast. Maybe once the PPV's stop going weekly, they WILL air the Dark Matches from Impact tapings.

Magus 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 The squash matches on Impact are the biggest sign that TNA's bookers are complete fucking morons. You can put Hardy and Jarrett over a million guys, but people still aren't going to give a shit about their match. If anything, the Hardy/Jarrett showdown is looking like more of a travesty as the weeks go by. Its just going to be a very bad event and I feel sorry for anyone who watches it. I'm also pissed that they fucked the xXx/AMW fued in the ass. Someone on here predicted that TNA would do a goddamned no-finish and they'd just have a 3 Way with the Naturals, and by golly, that's just what happened. Whoever made that prediction should get a free sandwich or something. If they gave us a clean winner, this could've been a SOLID main event for Impact. But instead of that, they put it first and give us a nonfinish. Way to go... you fucking idiots. Its pretty bad when the Xplosion matches look more interesting than the Impact matches. Why are we putting the dark matches on the show, and the GOOD match-ups on Xplosion? Well, they do have a good excuse, being retards and all. Right now, they need A LOT of work to be a good wrestling show again (if they ever were in the first place). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Harris vs. Christopher Daniels would've been a GREAT match to put on Impact's main event. Of course, they negated that completely by giving it a nonfinish, and making the last three weeks of xXx vs. AMW completely meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
