slimm44 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 COMPLETE TNA IMPACT SPOILERS FOR THE NEXT THREE EPISODES OF IMPACT by Mike Johnson @ 10:28:00 PM on 5/28/2007 TNA taped three episodes of Impact tonight at Universal Studios Florida. Richard Trionfo called in the following results: Impact 5/31 *Jim Cornette came to the ring to discuss the King of the Mountain match, mentioning that Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle had already qualified. He noted that this week's match was scheduled to be Jeff Jarrett vs. AJ Styles, but due to "family issues" Jarrett was unable to appear. Cornette said that he understood Jarrett's decision. Christian Cage, AJ Styles, and Tomko came to the ring and said they were going to throw a party if Jarrett had to forfeit the match. Cage demands Cornette raise AJ's hand in victory and said that it was five on one at Sacrifice. He said that Cornette has been screwing with him by not telling Cage who his opponent will be in the King of the Mountain qualifying match and went on and on. Cornette apologized and was going to announce Styles was the winner by forfeit, but since Cage had pointed out that he had made so many recent "bad business decisions" he wasn't going to make another. He then announced it will be AJ Styles vs. Tomko in the qualifier. Styles was angry but Cage was trying to calm him down and find out who his own opponent would be in the qualifier. *Christopher Daniels vs. Rhino - The match never starts as Sting attacks Daniels while he's on his way to the ring and they brawl into the crowd, then to the concession area. Rhino grabs the mic and says that he wanted to kick on Daniels' teeth but Sting beat him to it, so he's issuing an "Extreme Challenge" to anyone in the back. LAX comes to the ring. Konnan begins talking about TNA's conspiracy against LAX. He says that Rhino now has issues with LAX and regardless of whatever TNA tries to do, LAX will get the tag titles back. Konnan sees Hector Guerrero is sitting in the crowd and tells him he's sold out. Guerrero came to the ring and stayed in Rhino's corner. *Rhino defeated Homicide. After the match, LAX attacked Rhino. They were about to hit Rhino with a chair, but Guerrero gets in the ring. LAX work over Guerrero until Chris Harris hits the ring for the save. *TNA X-Division champion Chris Sabin defeated Kaz in a non-title match. Serotonin appear behind the bleachers during the match. Said to be Kaz's best match since returning to TNA. *AJ Styles defeated Tomko to qualify for the Slammiversary King of the Mountain match. Christian Cage came out to watch during the match. They were teasing that Cage was trying to cheer on both guys. Kurt Angle came to the ring halfway through the match, watching from a ramp. Samoa Joe comes out, brushing past Angle as he walks out. Styles rolls up Tomko as he argues with Cage for the pin. Impact 6/7 *Robert Roode defeated Jerry Lynn. Roode and Ms. Brooks try to work over Lynn but Eric Young hits the ring with a chair. Roode shoves Brooks in the way as he escapes. Brooks tries to leave but Young brings her back into the ring. They tease giving Brooks a cradle piledriver but Jim Cornette comes out and declares there will be no violence against women in TNA. He says that if Brooks wants to get physically involved in other people's business, she can have a match with Gail Kim later on tonight. *Gail Kim defeated Tracy Brooks. Robert Roode comes out after the match. Kim goes after Roode, but Brooks hit Kim from behind. Kim was laid out. *Chris Harris fought James Storm to a no contest in a King of Mountain Qualifier so neither man advances. They brawled all over the building and this was a good continuation of the feud from the Sacrifice Texas Death Match. Harris speared Storm through the bottom of the stage. The referee counted both men out and said the first man to get to the ring would be the victor, but neither man could recover. Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe came out to scout during the bout, with Joe bumping Angle again. After the match was over, Angle and Joe get in each other's faces in the ring ans security separates them. AJ Styles hits the ring with a pipe and tries to nail Angle, who ducks and puts Styles in the Anklelock. Impact 6/14 *The Steiners & Basham & Damaja defeated TNA Tag Team champions Team 3D & Voodoo Kin Mafia. Christy Hemme sprays kip James with something, allowing Basham to get the pin. 3D and Steiners were kept away from each other. Lance Hoyt came out to check on Kip. *In a King of the Mountain "Redemption Match" Samoa Joe & AJ Styles & Kurt Angle defeated Sting & Tomko & Rhino in a bout where if they had lost, they would have forfeited their berth in the PPV match to Sting's team. Tomko never showed up. Christopher Daniels came to the ring and asked to be tagged in by Sting who was getting beaten while Rhino was out on the floor. Daniels nails the Last Rites, setting up Angle pinning Sting. *Christian Cage defeated the returning Abyss by DQ to qualify for the Slammiversary King of the Mountain match. Tomko came out to interfere, as did AJ Styles. Abyss press slammed Styles onto Tomko on the floor. Abyss used a chair on Cage, getting disqualified. After the DQ, Abyss nailed the referee with a chair. He goes under the ring and retrieves a bag of thumbtacks. Security tries to stop him, but are laid out. Terry Taylor and Simon Diamond try to stop him, but are laid out as well. Abyss opens the bag but it's broken pieces of glass, not thumbtacks. Tomko and Styles work over Abyss and try to double chokeslam him. Cage stops them, then gets a barbed wire baseball bat. Cage is about to nail Abyss with it, but Abyss nails him with a big boot to the face. He runs off Tomko and Styles. Abyss is in the ring standing tall as the show ends. TNA Today/Xplosion: *Ron Killings does a rap. *Lance Hoyt defeated Havoc. *Alex Shelley defeated Petey Williams in a decent match. *Senshi defeated Martyr. I don't like how he quoted Jarrett's family issues, seeing as his wife passed away.
Timmy8271 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Doesn't look out right horrible but some stupid stuff on there for sure. Why would they bring back Abyss so soon? The Steiners match would be good if it was 1999 not 2007.
luke-o Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 They actually look quite good, should be a good few weeks of impact. Bringing back Abyss seemed silly to me too, but in keyfabe terms, he would be the best oppenent for Cage to qualify given their history. So, am i the only on to think that Joe will be getting the title at Slammy?
Guest aaron24wood Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Well done TNA. You could have broguht back Abyss as a very hot babyface character when Jim Mitchell brought in his new guy and started raising hell. But no, you managed to hot-shot him back with no build or warning and then, instead of a dominating win, you job him out, even if it's by DQ. Bravo! At least the rest of it sounds pretty decent.

Jebus Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 I'd rather see Abyss get his revenge on the members of Team Cage before he moves on to Mitchell's new monster so I like it.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Posted May 29, 2007 The main problem with the Abyss deal is twofold. One, it followed the usual TNA pattern of giving away for free something that could have been built to and made to mean so much more. Two, the broken glass. It's so stupid and reckless, even for TNA. They could have stayed with the thumbtacks if they hadn't have done such a great job of turning them from something exciting to just another cartoon prop that nobody takes seriously and means nothing. Where do TNA go from the broken glass once they've made that mean nothing? Razor wire?
dubq Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Where do TNA go from the broken glass once they've made that mean nothing? Exploding midgets!
fazzle Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 So, am I reading the spoilers wrong, or are there still only 4 guys in the KOTM match? Angle, Joe, AJ, Christian, and that's it?
Guest aaron24wood Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Well done TNA.

Cage is about to nail Abyss with it, but Abyss nails him with a big boot to the face. He runs off Tomko and Styles. Abyss is in the ring standing tall as the show ends Hardly being jobbed out. Going by the notes from the guy at PWI, Styles & Tomko actually enter the ring looking to interfere, and yet there isn't a DQ called until Abyss uses the chair. The funny thing about WWE smartening up their referees is that the TNA ones look even more like idiots. If someone not in the match comes into the ring, especially when they have intent, there should be a DQ called. Either way, it was the intention one way or another for Abyss to lose. Just because Abyss then went postal with the weaponry doesn't make everything wines and roses, just like it wasn't alright for Orton not to pin HBK in the self-serving crap HBK pulled just because Orton "injured" HBK. So they had Abyss come back out of nowhere, losing when he should have won and barring a miracle, he won't be on the PPV to follow it up, and if he is, he won't be well advertised for it.
Failed Bridge Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 So, am I reading the spoilers wrong, or are there still only 4 guys in the KOTM match? Angle, Joe, AJ, Christian, and that's it? Jarrett will be involved in it when all is said and done
Guest aaron24wood Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 I don't think he will, given the circumstances. Plus it would be a fairly unpopular move for Cornette to announce he's out, only to then slot him in without doing any work to get there. Frankly, if they hadn't pissed away Abyss's return, he'd have been the perfect candidate to come in and fill that slot, but as it is, I think they will just go with the four guys there.
Blade2kxx Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 This would be a perfect time to debut Mitchell's newest monster by having him in the KotM as the surprise entrant... I'm still hoping for Giant Bernard since he's such a total bad-ass, but if it's Bandaras I can live with it.
AlaskanHero Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I'm guessing at the PPV they'll do a multi-man match with the guys who didn't get in, the winner becoming the last entrant in the KotM match.
luke-o Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 That would make sence, because didnt Robert Roode say he was going to be in KOTM, yet didnt have a qualifying match?
Matt Young Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 So has anyone else been watching? It's been good so far and the main event is starting now.
The Amazing Rando Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 I thought the Sting/Daniels beatdown segment lost a little something when both Sting and Daniels had to signal for the idiot fan to move out of the way for the slam into the wall.
luke-o Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 It was a good Impact, i really enjoyed the Christian Coalition stuff as well as the great match between Sabin and Kaz. As before stated, my only problem with that storyline is that I felt they could have done more with Seritonin, rather than just having them as a job squad.

As before stated, my only problem with that storyline is that I felt they could have done more with Seritonin, rather than just having them as a job squad. I really think they got slowed down by the constant wait on Raven's weight. Plus really, they are nothing more than the Flock and whatever he had in ECW. One guy breaks off on his own (Scotty Riggs, Kidman, Stevie) and the master still mocks him to let him know who is in control. Could be an exciting angle if Raven would finally get back into wrestling shape and win some matches.
