~Last week on Impact, Awesome Kong successfully defends her TNA Women's title against Roxxi Leveaux, The TNA Tag Team Titles are declared vacant by TNA Management Director, Jim Cornette, Petey Williams wins the TNA X-Division title over Jay Lethal and Kurt Angle challenges Samoa Joe to a rematch for the TNA World Title on this episode.
-The show starts with Matt Morgan jumping Kip James for no clear reason.
-Booker T comes out to the ring and calls out Sting and tells him that he had Sting all wrong and that he was sorry.
-James Storm and Robert Roode interrupt the lovefest and they challenge Booker and Sting to a match.
-Cornette comes out and says he makes the rules in TNA and announces the "Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament" to crown new TNA Tag Team Champions. It'll consist of 8 teams, 4 matches and the winners go to Sacrifice, the next TNA PPV event. At Sacrifice, he will take 4 regular tag teams and 8 singles wrestlers to make 4 more teams and it will be a surprise who tags together. The winners of the tournament at Sacrifice will be the new tag team champions.
-AJ Styles says he doesn't care what Jim Cornette says, he and Tomko are still the tag team champions. He then sneaks Karen Angle, his and Kurt Angle's wife, into the arena.
-Team 3D beats Black Reign & Rellik in a Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament Qualifying Match.
-The TNA Knockouts go crazy.
-Kurt Angle, rocking the towel on his head, says he's ready for Samoa Joe.
-Eric Young denies that he's SUPER Eric. Silly rabbit...
-Christian Cage & Rhino defeat Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley in a Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament Qualifying Match.
-Jim Cornette calls out all the TNA knockouts. Once the women are all out to the ring, he announces that they all (minus Awesome Kong) will compete in a match at Sacrifice that will start as an over-the-top-rope battle royal and when it gets down to the final two women, the match will change to a ladder match. The winner gets a shot at Awesome Kong for the TNA Women's Title and the loser of that match will get their head shaved. Wonderful.
-Booker T & Sting beat Robert Roode & James Storm.
-Kurt finds AJ Styles and "their" wife, Karen and tells them to get lost.
-TNA World Champion, Samoa Joe, defeats Kurt Angle and retains his title.
-Scott Steiner, the #1 contender for the TNA World Title, comes out and starts some stuff with Joe.
-Cornette comes out for the millionth time and announces Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA World Title at Sacrifice.
I thought that this match on Impact would be Angle's last change at the belt, that's what they were saying all night. So, why is he getting another shot at the belt? I like Joe vs. Angle but my goodness, give me something new already.
I just can't help but think TNA is just having a tournament just to have a tournament. Weren't LAX the #1 contenders for the tag team titles after Destination X? When did they get their title shots? I'll tell you when, they never got them. There is really no reason to have the tournament because they could have just had AJ Styles and Tomko get beat by a team and have them keep the belts, that makes more sense to me.
The women's match where the loser gets their head shaved has got to be one of the dumbest gimmick matches I have heard in a while. Just. Completely. Stupid.
No Petey Williams or Canadian Destroyer on this episode.
No explaination is given as to why Matt Morgan killed Kip James, which makes no sense. However, I did find the beatdown at the beginning of the show to be pretty funny. Calling James "old man" while he beat on him was just icing on the cake.
TNA showed a SWEET video package focusing on Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe. I didn't like the announcer screaming the whole time but it was still good stuff.
Speaking of Kurt Angle, he sure knows how to speak to a woman.
Damnit!! The Motor City Machineguns never, EVER, win.
