Pre-show vid hypes up it being OFN with TNA vs. the Aces - this feels
like something that should be saved for a big show, instead of the
monthly show they call big but don't really treat as big. Great vid of
the Aces beatdown of the roster to hype it up, and a recap of the four
way from last week. Hardy's out to start the show and good lord is he
over. Huge HARDY chant to start. I love Tenay saying Hardy might
challenge Taz. He said that he wasn't 100% last week and...isn't this
week, so yeah, he was able to beat the top three guys hurt. Doesn't
really make them look too good. Bully had enough of his blah blah blah.
Love the fan in the Paparazzi Productions shirt when Bully came out.
Anderson interrupted him in an annoying manner - I was hoping Bully
would kill him with death for doing that. CHRIST ALMIGHTY HE JUST
REFUSED TO SHUT UP. The calvalry of...like four guys, including EY made
the save. Kinda stupid to have the bikers run from the mentally
challenged dude. This only took 10 minutes, but felt longer, and set up
Anderson-Hardy. Yarg. They recapped the tag thing with Bad Influence
last week with the Mexicans, and they're going to challenge BI because it's OFN. Great, now we're gonna get a Chavo promo.
They
came out with matching gear while Kenely pondered just who they'd call
out. ODELAY JONESBORO! Well, at least he didn't throw in VIVA LA RAZA.
He did throw in "holmes" though, oh and this match is now a no. 1
contender's match. Jesus this promo was bad. Thank God Daniels and Kaz
saved this by wearing wacky shirts UNDERNEATH THEIR OTHER SHIRTS.
Keneley hilariously said THAT IF YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING DIXIE ON TWITTER,
YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON ALL THE BIG NEWS! I like the Mexicans' bow and
arrow from Hernandez leading to a rolling senton from Chavito. Daniels
bashed his brains in on the steps. LOVED the double Air Mexico dive -
makes Chavo look more agile than he is. Hernandez hit a tremendous
double train wreck - one guy one each arm. Looked awesome. Mexicans had
the win, but Chavo took nine hours to do it, so he got shoved, then
Hernandez POUNCED KAZ OFF THE RAMP. Holy shit. Chavo won with the frog
splash. This was a lot of fun and Hernandez as basically a video game
character who does a whole bunch of cool shit that doesn't seem possible
is great. They showed Taryn putting her top on for OFN. The trailer for
Scary MoVie is worse than either Chavo or Anderson's promo.
They
replayed Brooke firing Taryn as a ref and hiring her as a wrestler.
This has really been shockingly well-built given that it's a women's
angle and those seem secondary in WWE. Taryn's gear is basically a
bikini - buys! Her entrance video actually calls her a hot mess. Taryn's
tits bounced around while she said some words. Gail's theme rules, but
my goodness is her tron about the most racist thing in the company in
ages. I loved Gail saying that she won't fight her, but she'll let Tara
do it - great way to get around giving Gail-Taryn away right now. Then
Velvet came out to make it a holler holler tag match. Or not - they just
brawled and no match happened. Taryn and Velvet is Team Cleavage.The
hot brawl continued in the back, where the film filter really made hte
hotness pop off the sreen even more. They hyped up the Gut Check for
next week by making GC itself seem like a huge epic deal. Adam Pearce
faces Magno next week. They've given that match more hype than WWE gives
its main events on Raw. Magno's gear looks really awesome in HD. Sting
yelled at an Atlas security guy, and they went to an ad for GI with the
Rock...so weird to see the Rock during an Impact show.
Hogan
cut a promo with Hardy telling him he'll get a title shot in Corpus
Cristi, which they already announced. Hardy gets to name his stip, but
Hogan cut him off because Sting's music is playing. Christ, they've been
feuding in some form since 1996. Sting called him out for OFN so they
could...talk... Hogan whined a bunch about stuff and blamed Sting
instead of himself for decisions he made. Sting basically told him to
fuck off, man up, and take responsibility for what he's done. Hogan told
him to get out of HIS ring, and Sting told him MAKE ME...well, that's
definitely a trump card now. Wow. They're theoretically building to
Hogan-Sting AND Hogan-Bully in 2013 when Hogan can't work a thing called
a match. Wonderful. This was really sad.
They
recapped the two old guys arguing. Morgan showed up and slow-clapped
Sting while in his Wal-Mart shirt and pants with...some sort of product
in his hair making it look wacky. AJ vid played up him not getting a
title shot until BFG 2013 more than usual. Storm came out, which
reminded me that it's been a year since he was supposed to win the title
again. God, it's a shame only one guy can win the gold at BFG between
the two, because Storm should've been champ again by now. Loved Taz
saying AJ might be at a bar, then Kenely saying it's a dry county, which
will probably piss Storm off too. AJ was in the...not rafters, but THE
CROWD sulking. Loved Storm saying that he's up for either drinking with
AJ or kicking some ass - great stuff. AJ didn't come down, and just left
him to get beaten by the Aces before EY saved him...That was an abrupt
shift in tone, even with him in gear and not goofball shorts. Angle made
the save for them, so they made a 3-way. Well, after two matches being
teased and not delivered, this is good. Angle's new, super-generic
singlet sucks. They recapped last week's Bully vids. Angle looks
super-weird in that singlet and no knee pads. It was based on an early
WWF one for him, but there's a reason they got changed a lot - this one
looked bland. They did moves for a while before a break, but nothing
big.
They came back to a hot crowd during a headlock.
It was hilarious to hear Taz put over Garett's good looks, amazing
toughness, and in-ring skills - it was like he was just rattling off
stuff Eric was reciting. Doc was great hear with his fast shots to the
gut and suplexes. Made me think he should be TV Champ instead of Devon
since he can actually have exciting matches. All the heels came in and
Angle did his Dusty spot of everyone walking in his moves. Loved
Kenely's line about it being chain wrestling when Angle countered the
chain with the ankle lock. Fun match but nothing amazing about it.
Brisco beat Angle via some cheating - didn't really do much good for him
though. Wes looked like a psychopath with the other guys. Good visual
for him. Bully and Devon fired up Anderson, who bashed shit up with a
hammer. So now he's a pastiche of Austin and HHH.
They
recapped the X DIVISION EVOLUTION with the weight limit being back and
3-ways being mandatory. They're definitely making this the Kenny King
division, so at least his gamble with ROH is starting to pay off. They
hyped up the X division PPV and said that Sonjay will face Mason Andrews
and Petey on Impact to determine who faces King on Impact. FINALLY,
they said that the world title match would be on Impact in two weeks.
They kept saying AT CORPUS CRISTI, and showed the taping dates, but
never hyped up TITLE MATCH ON DATE X. I have no idea what kind of music
they played for the Hardy-Bully hype vid, but it was bizarre. Kind of
like stuff out of Patapon, but not quite as intense. After that, they
recapped the earlier Aces/TNA brawl for the millionth time. Anderson
came out with a water bottle to further the HHH deal. Seeing Anderson go
in the ring wearing a commercially-made ACES AND 8S SUPPORT t-shirt
that any fan could buy really made him look minor league. Adam Pearce
looks like more of a star than him.
Loved the backdrop from Hardy into the ring from the ramp.
They came back from a break and Tenay talked this up as being a PPV
QUALITY MAIN EVENT because Hardy beat Anderson at BFG 2010 to win the
title - so it's technically true, but not exactly up to snuff from a
quality standpoint. They had a "they did moves" match with nothing
really feeling too connected. Lots of use of one armbar from Anderson
here led to Kenely calling him A GREAT COUNTER WRESTLER! Garett gave him
HIS HAMMER, which Hardy hit him with and even after a hammer shot to
the stomach and "stunning twisto", Anderson didn't go down. Well, at
least they named the stunner Twist of Fate deal. Hardy got DQed due to
holding the hammer, so Hardy got a chair and...did Poetry in Motion
instead of beating the fuck out of him. Hardy brought out a chair and
table, so it looks like Hardy-Bully will be a Full Metal Mayhem match.
Taz brought up how weird it was that the Aces didn't come out, leading
to Bully barely making a save for Anderson before Hardy dove off a
ladder though a table with him. I guess he'd seen just about enough of the beating. Yup, TLC AND STAIRS so WWE can't get upset - Full Metal Mayhem.
