TNA Impact, PPV's discussion

[Tvfan24/7]

Since I did the same thing for WWE, I figured it would be only fair to do the same for TNA Impact and their PPV's.

The following matches have been confirmed for No Surrender on 9/5:

Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy- Semi-finals of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship tournament; If Angle loses he must retire.

Mr. Anderson vs. "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero- Semi-finals of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship tournament

More matches should be announced this week.

The winners of the tournament will face off at Bound for Glory on 10/10/10 for the vacant TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bound for Glory will emanate from the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Hopefully she gets signed. I felt that the WWE never really gave her much of a chance to showcase what she had. I'd like to see Serena in TNA too.

The Sandman no-showed Monday's Impact taping, so we might've seen the last of him:

Report: Top stars unhappy with EV 2.0 storyline..Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 08/25/2010 at 05:17 PM..Credit: F4WOnline.com According to Dave Meltzer, there are top stars in TNA that feel it is a "big mistake" to have EV 2.0 as top babyfaces in the company. Several of the top stars were said to be against bringing the former ECW stars in as regulars and even doing the ECW reunion PPV in the first place. It's possible that the Fortune attack on Hogan, Nash, Sting, and Jarrett was done as a backup plan in case things don't work out with EV 2.0.

Tonight's lineup for WCW... er... TNA Impact:

Kurt Angle, Mr. Anderson, "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero & Jeff Hardy vs. A.J. Styles, Kazarian, Matt Morgan and X Division Champ Douglas Williams

Samoa Joe vs. Orlando Jordan

TNA Tag Champions The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Generation Me- non-title match

Kevin Nash vs. Jeff Jarrett

Stevie Richards vs. Desmond Wolfe

Beer Money vs. The FBI

Plus promos by Mick Foley, Ric Flair and Dixie Carter....

One thing that I'm enjoying in TNA is the tag action. They have some great tag teams in Beer Money and the MCMG, plus Generation Me are like the Hardy's of TNA. They also have a new tag team in Desmond Wolfe & Magnus called "London Brawling", who will face the MCMG at "No Surrender". Plus they are going to debut the "Jersey Shore" team.

The rest of Impact was pretty typical of what we've seen lately. But I'm digging the tag action.

Don't know how long this has been available, but full episodes of Impact are now available on Spike's website:

iMPACT: Hogan's Cavalry | SPIKE

A 2 hour Impact show is roughly 35 minutes of ads and that doesn't include all the recaps and video packages.

Dixie tweeted the following earlier:

"Just signed a new talent contract on someone you guys have been asking about. Stay tuned!"

Mike Johnson of PWInsider seems to think that it is Mickie James.

we need Rosey LottaLove back

Funny story provided by Jason Powell of prowrestling.net:

By Jason Powell

A dark match held at last week's TNA Impact tapings that featured Shannon Moore and Christina Von Eerie vs. Okada and Cookie (a/k/a Becky Bayless) was dubbed "the worst dark match in history" by several people backstage.

Most of the blame for the match is directed at Bayless, who missed blind tag attempts three times. It was so comically bad that Moore stopped, pointed at her, and yelled, "I'm begging you to tag him" during the middle of a spot. This led to serious laughter backstage.

Powell's POV: Bayless matches are now considered must see entertainment for several people in the company. Although there was a lot of laughter over the match, there was also some frustration in the locker room over the decision to hire Bayless prior to her lousy performance.

That said, she is playing a Jersey Shore inspired role, so it's possible they could limit her to a valet role if there is serious concern over her in-ring work. For what it's worth, I always thought Bayless showed a lot of charisma in Ring of Honor.

Impact rating from last week: 1.07

 

[Tvfan24/7]

According to the Wrestling Observer, the scheduled lineup for No Surrender on September 5th is scheduled to be:

TNA World Title Tournament Semi-Final
Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle

TNA World Title Tournament Semi-Final
Mr. Anderson vs. The Pope

I Quit Match for the TNA TV Title
Tommy Dreamer vs. AJ Styles

TNA X Division Title Match
Sabu vs. Douglas Williams

TNA Tag Team Title Match
Magnus & Desmond Wolfe vs. The Motor City Machineguns

Falls Count Anywhere Match
Rhino vs. Abyss

Handicap Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Sting and Kevin Nash

Velvet Sky & Angelina Love vs. Madison Rayne & Tara

TNAsylum: Scheduled Lineup for No Surrender (Spoiler Alert)

Some of the matches look ok, but I'm not really digging this PPV. Plus, booking a PPV for Labor Day weekend isn't really the best move. They might only get 1,000 buys on this one... And I'm being generous.

Carter did not indicate whether iMPACT! will be live on a permanent basis. She also did not say where the event will be held. iMPACT! television tapings are currently listed to take place Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays throughout the rest of the year.
