TNA Impact Review 1/3/13

Note: This was a live show for TNA in 2013. Wow, this might be interesting. I hope to see some changes in TNA for the new year. I know that's a stretch but then again, I am hopeful at best. So here's TNA Impact of 2013. Time for changes........


Match#1: James Storm vs. Kazarian
Winner: James Storm
(Good match to start the show. I think Kaz is underrated. Time for him to go after a title aside from the tag titles. James Storm is the TNA's version of Stone Cold Steve Austin. This was a good way to make TNA fans happy. By the way, Daniels was in this match as well. Love seeing Daniels actually wrestle not talk.)

Match#2: Kid Kash vs. Christian York – X-Division Tournament Match
Winner:  Christian York
(Thank you God for this match. This match just proved my point about letting the young guys have a chance. This was actually a good fucking match. Kid Kash is not a jobber. Christian York is very agile for a big man. This was a match of moves. Thank you TNA for this match.)

Match#3: Hernandez vs. Joey Ryan
Winner: Hernadez by DQ
(This was total bullshit. Moving on.)

In Ring Segment: Hulk Hogan is in the ring and grabs a mic. He says he is going to get right to it. First of all, sorry for not being there last week. There was a lot going on and two weeks ago he caught Brooke and Ray making out. He is back and wants to get this over with. Ray, if you are back there, and I know you are, come out and you too Brooke. He wants both of them and gets both of them. Ray’s music hits and he comes out with Brooke at his side. Ray then leads her. They get in the ring. Hogan says Ray wants respect from Hogan for months now. Hogan couldn’t really understand it. He then starts talking about a code. There is a code to tell each other things but he didn’t and wants to know why. Ray paces around and then looks at Brooke. Ray turns to face Hulk. He has a mic and says Hulk is right and should have came clean about him and Brooke. The heat is on him. Hulk has been trying to tell everyone how bad Ray is and that he shouldn’t be trusted. Ray shouldn’t be in this business. Brooke tries to interfere but Hulk says it is between them. If this was 20 years ago, Ray would have been gone by now. With this time period with lawyers and lawsuits and general managers, Bully Ray is suspended without pay. Get out of my ring! Ray can’t believe it. Hulk turns to Brooke and says she made the decision too so get the hell out of my ring. Brooke is shocked. Ray turns and asks if he is serious. He then grabs Brooke and leads her out of the ring. Ray grabs her hand and walks up the ramp. They turn and Hogan’s music plays. Bully asks Brooke what is wrong with her father.
(WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! What is this shit? Moving on.)

Match#4: Gail Kim and Tara vs. Mickie James and Ms. Tessmacher
Winner: Mickie James and Ms. Tessmacher
(Thank you TNA for good women wrestling. This might not be the best match but this was the shit. Not only did I see Gail Kim but Tara and that ASS!!!!! I was happy as hell. This was a good match. Thank you......)

Main Event: Devon and Masked Man vs. Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle in a Steel Cage Match
Winners: Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe

After The Match: Kurt Angle gets up and goes right for the mask, but Doc enters the ring and attacks him and Joe. Aces and 8s run out and they enter the ring. They attack both Kurt and Joe. Mr. Anderson watches from the outside. They choke Joe and Kurt with their boots. Just then, Sting comes out with his black baseball bat. He enters the ring and takes out one member guy one. They are all going down. The members are slowly exiting the area. They leave through the door while one climbs the cage. One member is left in the ring. Joe pushes him to Sting and Sting hits him with the baseball bat. Kurt grabs the mask and RIPS it off! It’s Mike Knox! The End
(The match was good. Loved to see good matches. The odds were against Samoa Joe until Angle comes in for the save. This was a brutal match. Something WWE needs to do is be more edgy and less kid friendly. The match was the appetizer. The save by Sting was the main course and unmasking Mike Know was the shitty dessert. I said the match was good. Too bad the ending messed it up. By the way, Anderson is a part of Aces and Eights. I guess this is a shock to people. I was not shocked.)

Final Thoughts: Ugh, well the ending fucked up a decent show. I want to say that I might have wanted more but then again, this was not good. I missed some things because I channel surfed. Also, didn't care about 2012 Wrestler of the Year. I guess I hope for better from WWE Smackdown but it was taped before the new year. Ugh, here we go.
