TNA Impact Review 7/26/12

Note: It seems like Aces and Eights is going to be the summer angle of 2012. I don't think this will end well. The BFG series is something that is lost on me because of the points. Also, the Gut Check segments are basically a short version of NXT or Tough Enough. My point is that TNA is either going to be good or bad. Anyways, here's TNA Impact.......


I don't care about the opening segments. Sting is in charge and Aces and Eights are running wild.


Match#1: Mickie James and Tara vs. Gail Kim and Madison Rayne
Winners: Madison & Gail Kim
(I was so happy to see my crush wrestle. This was a tag match but next week they all are going to have a four way match to see who is going to face Miss Tessmacher for the KO title. This was a good match. I love seeing real women wrestle. I did not care for the angle with Madison Rayne and Earl Hebner. This was a good match.)


Match#2: Gut Check Match - Doug Williams vs. Sam Shaw
Winner: Doug Williams
(Sam Shaw was winning but was distracted at the end. The angle with the rejected guy is going to build up. This was a good match for both. Shaw should get a contract for his work.)


Match#3:BFG Match - AJ Styles vs. James Storm
WINNER: No Contest
(Aces and Eights interfered. Both were awarded 2 points. Don't care about the points. Aces and Eights strikes again. I hope they do something different with this angle ASAP.)


Match#4: X Division Title Match - Zema Ion vs. Kenny King
Winner: Zema Ion
(Good solid match. Love Zema Ion. Kenny King was in ROH but want more money. WWE is where the money is but TNA is where you actually get to wrestle.)


Main Event: BFG Match - Kurt Angle vs. Bully Ray
Winner: Kurt Angle
(I am shocked that Bully Ray made this a bearable match. I still think he should retire and teach. However, this match made both look good. I think Angle can wrestle for at least another five years and help TNA because if he goes back to WWE, he might have to retire like Edge.)

After The Main Event: Aces & Eights immediately hit the ring to attack Angle. After they delivered a beat down on Angle, A.J. Styles, Sting, and Austin Aries hit the ring to fight A&E. Suddenly, James Storm's music played to bring out Storm. Storm hit the ring and A&E bailed from the ring, with Storm not getting his hands on the group. Storm, Sting, Angle, Styles, and Aries remained in the ring as A&E fled. Angle then began questioning Storm on why he was late to arrive to make the save. Tenay announced he was just informed of Angle vs. Storm on next week's Impact as Storm and Angle argued in the ring. How could the match have just been booked if interim GM Sting was in the ring? Who is Sting's assistant?! Is the assistant in cahoots with Aces & Eights?! Tenay signed off with Aries getting in the middle of the Storm-Angle dispute to close the show.
(This is the angle that TNA is going to make it famous. Like Nexus, The Corre, and the NWO, this stable will be dominate at first but something will kill it. Have fun with it TNA.)

Final Thoughts: I know Chavo debuted tonight. I love Chavo but he's going to use his family's name in TNA. He is not going to be a TNA Champion but he might be X Division or even TV Champion. TNA is going to be live for a few more weeks. TNA is going to do some good shows while live. I can't wait for them to be taped again. BFG is going to be something I have to learn but the matches are going to be good. I hope this is a good thing for TNA. See you all for WWE Smackdown.
