Wacky TNA Title of the Week: Fur Will Fly At The Pink Taco!


TNA Impact Begins…NOW!

-Jay Lethal is waiting on Dutt at the Pink Taco, so he can beat his ass. He's angry.

-We get a video package highlighting last week's show.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

Booker T vs. BG James

It's good to see BG James finding work these days. Booker attacks BG as he rounds the ring. Booker doesn't have time to fuck around, he has to clean the elephant piss from his locker room. He beats BG down on the floor, into the ring and delivers chops to BG. BG battles back but Booker gets a standing sidekick and then follows with mounted punches. Booker works a clinch and knee strikes, a snap mare and into the ever dangerous chinlock. Joe is watching the match backstage, SCOUTING~! BG gets to his feet, tries to fight back but eats a superkick from Booker. Chops by Booker follow, rights but BG fires up and shoots Booker off the ropes, he gets stopped and Booker gets the AX kick and that is all.

Winner: Booker T @ 3:30 via pin

-TO THE BACK as JB is with Samoa Joe. JB says there may be something to what Nash said last week, this offends Joe and he yells at JB. Nash then strolls in, and Joe calls him the all-powerful OZ! Joe says wrestlers have regular locker rooms and Nash had all of his glory but this is where the wrestlers are. Joe asks when the last time Nash beat Booker was? Nash said he did, and Joe says to beat the Booker today. Joe says everything Nash says is bullshit until Nash proves that he can beat Booker. Nash says he will prove how to make it a mental game, and prove he can do it. ROOKIE!

-Karen Angle is with us live from Pittsburgh. She doesn't even remember what happened, but is glad she is ok. Don says she is scarred for life due to this, and she says she can't run away, because that is what Kurt wants. Tenay asks about her and AJ, and she says this has become an illusion created by Kurt. She says she goes back to work and she will be back next week.

-Jay Lethal walks at the Pink Taco.


-We see highlights of LAX retaining the tag team titles, only to get bet down and whipped by Roode, Storm and Jackie.

~LAX MAKES A CHALLENGE~
Jim Cornette is in the ring and says after last week, there has been a challenge made. He brings out LAX, who made the challenge. Cornette says that LAX is here to make a challenge. They were assaulted and whipped like dogs, with a belt from an LAX fan. Hector went to Cornette and made a challenge for Victory Road, a fan's revenge lumberjack match. They will pick 12 TNA fans, they get to surround the ring and they get a long leather strap and if anyone tries to escape, then the fans may whip the BEJESUS out of them! Hector says that Roode, Storm and Jackie need to know that they have not forgotten what happened. All they did was wake up the Latino fire within them! They will beat them for their people and with their people. Hector signs the contract for LAX.

Cornette calls out Storm, Roode and Jackie, but only Jackie comes to the ring. Hector better watch himself, the last time a Guerrero tried to mess with Jackie he got an ass whooping! Cornette reminds them that there is no man on woman violence on SPIKE TV. Jackie enters the ring and she says she isn't a babysitter and doesn't know where her guys are, but she can promise one is making money and one is getting drunk. She's out there to accept, and Salinas is pissed. Jackie says her tits are fake, which OFFENDS Salinas. LAX holds Salinas back, but Jackie wants to fight. Cornette says if they want to fight, then they can have a match later tonight, and they better both come alone.


-Kong is out for her $25,000 challenge. Borash is on the mic and announces the challenge. If someone can beat Kong, they will receive $25,000 in cash. They get some volunteers and we head to a commercial.

-Back from commercial and there are some random women and Shantelle Taylor. She signs, they only call her Taylor and we're a go.

Awesome Kong's $25,000 Open Challenge: Awesome Kong vs. Taylor

Taylor attacks, bails to the ring and is ready to go. She attacks Kong on the way in, but gets tossed down. They circle, Taylor tries to avoid Kong and does. Kong catches her, and tosses her across the ring. To the ropes, chops by Kong and Taylor is down. Knees by Kong, chops follow and Taylor is down. Taylor escapes the Kong bomb, dropkick connects, off the ropes and Kong takes her down Vader style. Kong calls for a chair, and Taylor dropkicks it into her face! Taylor nails Kong with the chair, again and a third time! Another dropkick and then up top she goes…flies in and gets a missile dropkick and KONG IS DOWN! Cover by Taylor1…2…NO! Kong rolls to the floor, Taylor up top again and Kong catches her! She slams her to the steel post and that had to suck. Back fist MISSES by Kong and she hits the ring post!

Back into the ring we go and Kong grabs her, KONG BOMB countered again, leg kicks and a kick to the head by Kong, RANA blocked…KONG BOMB and that is all.

-We get a video package for Kaz.

WORLD X-CUP PREVIEW MATCH: Team International's Alex Kozlov vs. Team TNA's Kaz

This match is not for points, which is weird since they technically started the tournament. Lock up, Kaz to the arm and Kozlov pulls the hair. Hammerlock by Kozlov, Kaz escapes but Kozlov gets a top wristlock. Kaz flips out, arm drag and then Kozlov stops Kaz, and looks to dance, but eats a boot to the face. A slam by Kaz, slingshot leg drop connects and a cover for 2. To he corner, an enziguri by Kozlov and Kaz falls to the floor. A huge springboard cross body by Kozlov connects!

Jack knife for 2, bridge spot and Kozlov gets a backslide for 2. La Magistral Cradle by Kaz for 2. Kozlov trips up Kaz, and now gets a surfboard in the ropes, called the Perestroika. Back in and Kaz manages a DDT, and then a clothesline. A dropkick follows, off the ropes and a back elbow, with a great spin sell by Kozlov gets 2 for Kaz. Sets Kozlov up top, Kozlov fights and sends him back in, leaps over him and then Kozlov gets an enziguri! Springboard splash misses! Wave of the future by Kaz and that is all.

Winner: Kaz @ 5:40 via pin

-TO THE BACK and JB is with Cage. Rhino has been taken out, and Cage says these things happen here in TNA. Rhino has a concussion and can't go tonight. He'll be back, because he is tough. Cage is cool about all of this, because he doesn't see a problem; he sees a phenomenal opportunity.


-We now get a Rough Cuts segment on Matt Morgan.

-Sonjay is at the Pink Taco, he wants to talk but Lethal wants nothing to do with this. Dutt apologizes, and says it was bad timing and wrong. Dutt says they have been best friends for 5-years, and then says Val is in love with him. They brawl. He chokes out Dutt and then drops an elbow off of a ladder. This may be the lamest brawl ever. Lethal spears him though a garage door, a garage door in a bar.


-Earlier tonight Rhino was taken out by 3D. 3D is with JB, and they run down Cage. They are not stupid, they didn't become 20-time tag team champions by being stupid. They know that Cage is bringing out Styles as his partner. AJ has been running around jumping people all night, so Cage can bring AJ to the ring. They have taken great pleasure in beating AJ down. Ray smeared AJ's blood on his face, he's a sick bastard. Devon likes hurting people, and tonight they break his neck, for Kurt Angle. AJ is a home wrecker, and they hope to spill the blood of Cage and AJ all over the building. Devon says he could feel sorry, but he doesn't. They warned AJ, but he keeps getting involved. Is this a southern thing? Is this how hicks show that they are tough? Tonight, there will be a massacre, and AJ will know why thou shall not mess with Team 3D…oh my brotha, TESTIFY~!

Jackie Moore vs. Salinas

Salinas with I guess what was a Thesz press on Moore. She then gets a slam, goes up top and MISSES a cross body as Moore sidesteps her. Moore with rights, tosses Salinas to the corner and then gets a hair mare. Moore lays the boots to Salinas, to the corner and another hair mare. Moore is killing her, this is glorious. Knees by Moore, and then tosses Salinas to the floor. Moore whips Salinas to the steel barrier and then back into the ring we go. T-BONE suplex by Moore. Clubbing shots to the back, has her in the ropes and sits on her back to choke her out, Salinas stands up and gets an electric chair drop, Moore landed on the back of her head. Clothesline by Salinas, STO follows and she covers for 2. Moore back with a DDT, and then rolls into the guillotine choke and Salinas taps. MMA MOORE~!

Winner: Jackie Moore @ 3:10 via pin

-After the match Moore gets a belt and whips Salinas, which judging by the videos she makes I am sure she enjoys it.


Team 3D (Ray and Devon) vs. AJ Styles and Christian Cage

AJ and Cage charge 3D on the ramp and we're underway. They brawl around ringside for the first minute with AJ and Cage in control. Ray and AJ in the ring now, AJ gets the dropkick combo and then tags in Cage. Chops by Cage, but they runs into a backdrop from Ray. Devon tags in, rights to Cage and he maintains control. Choke by Devon, Cage tries to fire back and gets a 2nd rope elbow strike for 2. AJ tags in, misses the corner charge and Devon tags in Ray. Ray slams AJ down, WAZZUP head butt and now 3D heads to the floor. They find a table, I am shocked, and bring it to ringside. As they try to get it into the ring Cage gets a dropkick to the table and levels them. AJ leaps off of the back of Cage in an ode to the Hardy's to hit a sweet flip dive onto 3D. We'll head to a commercial @ 4:05.

Back from commercial @ 7:30 with Ray getting a hangman's neck breaker in the corner on AJ. 3D did some shenanigans during the break to get control. Ray tosses AJ across the ring with a huge backdrop, gets a camel clutch variation and partially humbles him, but then bites his nose. Devon sneaks in as Cage distracted the ref, as he tried to help AJ. Devon works the chinlock, and then an elbow drop off of the ropes. Devon poses, slams AJ to the corner and Ray tells Devon that he wants Devon to pin AJ. Devon misses a charge, enziguri to Ray by AJ and all three men are down. AJ crawls…dives and tags in Cage! Rights to 3D, off the ropes and a double clothesline to 3D. Drop toehold and Cage stand son the back of Devon to choke him out. Unprettier try, countered but Cage gets the Edge-A-Cution for 2. Chops by Cage to Devon, Ray slams into Devon by accident and Cage takes him out. Frog Splash to Devon! That gets 2 as Ray breaks it up. Off the ropes, boots by Cage but they get the reverse 3D on him, but only get 2. AJ blind tags in, SUPERMAN FOREARM to Devon! Levels Ray, slams Devon and then he and Cage get DOUBLE DIVING HEAD BUTS! Ray breaks up the pin, tosses Cage and AJ looks for a victory roll…BUT TAKES THE DUDLEYVILLE DEVICE! 1…2…NO! Ray to the 2nd rope, Cage in and low blows Ray. Up top…RANA to Ray!
