...Yes I stole 2 TNA show names for my article...oh well....

     Impact starts off this week with a Kurt Angle promo hyping the main event which is Angle vs. Abyss in a cage. Abyss interrupts and we get a full out all over the arena brawl. We then get a commercial followed by more brawling. Normally I don't like brawls that go on like that. It seems more like a match than an attack but I did enjoy this one as it got me a little more excited for the main event.
     Beer Money is out with the rest of Fortune to take on Dreamer and Rhino along with the rest of EV2.0 as we have a lumberjack match.Good team work by Beer Money. Rhino took the beating for most of the match unto the hot tag to Dreamer. Minimal involvement from the outside until the end which ended in an all out brawl. Styles spits something in Dreamers faceStorm goes for the pin but Dreamer kicks out. Storm goes for the beer bottle but Dreamer ducks, hits the Dreamer Driver for the pin. Winners via pin Tommy Dreamer and Rhino. After the match the brawl continues until Mick Foley gets on the mic and basically says enough is enough. He challenged Flair to come into the ring and have a man to man discussion. Annnnnd we go to commercial. Way too many commercial breaks in TNA in my opinion.;
     Back from break and Flair refers to himself as a wrestling god, asks if they're on the air and calls Foley an asshole. Flair always makes me pop. To have Foley and Flair in the ring cutting promos on each other is awesome. 2 or the best, if not the best 2 promo men in the history of the business. Foley challenged Flair to a match on the live Impact one on one for the last time ever. Flair steals Foley's book from a fan, insults Foley and drops an elbow on the book. Flairs still got it late into his years. Foley admits he wasn't as interested in wrestling as much recently but says Flair brought it back in him. Both men make themselves bleed. Lots of man love follows ending in Foley making the match a last name standing match, good call since that's probably all these guys can do at this point. Ends with Flair going nuts and Foley giving the bang bang!!
     Backstage Anderson asks Bischoff why Hogan called Angle and not him. Anderson questions if they believe hes the future of the company. Bischoff says Hogan is a creature of habit and has a lot in common with Angle. Eric tells Anderson that he believes hes going to be the face of the company. Gen Me vs. Ink Inc is up next.
     Ink Inc out first followed by Generation me who has Sabin's half of the tag titles with them. Solid tag team match. Max Buck fakes a knee injury to help Gen Me gain the advantage. Neal gets isolated by Gen Me until the hot tag to Shannon Moore. Moore cleans house. Taz: "Moore is flaring like a pack of hemroids". REALLY????? Max with a low blow while Jeremy has ref distracted. Winners via pin fall Generation Me. Gen Me look to beat down Ink Inc after the match but Motor City Machine Guns make the save Sabin grabs his title back. Anderson vs. Samoa Joe is next.
     Anderson out first referring to Bound For Glory as "Ken-Ken-Ken", made me chuckle. Anderson's never been the greatest in ring performer but he can definitely cut a promo. Joe out next as Taz refers to him as a speed boat not a speed bump. Popes music hits before the match begins both men look confused. He makes his way to the broadcast booth followed by Nash and Sting. Decent back and forth action. Pope is the only one on commentary Nash and Sting just stand behind the booth. Pope eludes to things Nash and Sting have been talking about. Anderson gets out of a choke hold and hits the mic check. Winner via pin fall Ken Anderson. After the match Nash says hes going to talk to Joe(with the bat) "When did Nash and String get out here" HA Pope. Joe looks ready for battle with Nash...as we go to commercial.
     We come back with Nash Sting and Pope in the ring with Joe no where in sight. Nash, Pope and Sting all cut promos on Bischoff and Hogan. Sting mentions WCW to a nice pop and then does Halls survey. Sting challenges Hogan to join Jarrett and Joe at Bound For Glory as him and Nash will take Pope. Eazy-E out with his "Secretary". Bischoff calls them selfish and political since the days of WCW. In the end Bischoff says Hogan will be at the live Impact and will answer them.
     Backstage Knockouts promo which ends in all of them arguing with each other. Kendrick out first to take on AJ Styles for the TNA T.V. Title. Styles on his way to the ring with Matt Morgan. Flair shows up randomly at the broadcast booth still with blood on his shirt. Doesn't even sit down just yells into the headset about how hes going to destroy Foley. Kendrick got a lot of decent offense in but Morgan and Flair on the outside give Styles the advantage. Styles clash hit on Brian and still TV champ AJ Styles. Winner via pinfall A.J. Styles. Styles and Morgan celebrate in the ring with Flair on the ramp. Abyss promo and the main event is next.
     Back from commercial RVD is saying he made a mistake returning last week as he wasn't at 100% and is now leaving it up to "doctors and the universe" to help him. Steel cage already lowered as were back in the arena. Abyss out first followed by the Olympic Gold Medalist. Angle in control early. "Lets Go Angle" chants lead to Kurt grabbing Janice and throwing it, er, her out of the cage onto the ramp. Back from break and Abyss has gained control over Angle. Abyss now methodically beating Angle. He busts Kurt wide open. Angle avoids being thrown into the cage and takes out AByss' knee. Angle with a frog splash and has a 2 count. Kurt is bleeding a lot now. Abyss avoids the ankle lock and hits a choke slam for a 2 count. Abyss looked like he was going to the Angle Slam but turns it into a back breaker. Crowd hot for Kurt to comeback right now. Abyss misses off the top and Angle hits the Angle slam. Angle about to leave and decides not to. Kurt climbs to the top of the cage as we get informed they are out of time...however you can continue watching on ReAction.....now on ReAction Abyss dragged Kurt off the cage. Match continues with back and forth action. Abyss choke slam's Angle. Mr.Anderson's music hits and he scales the cage and gets a choakeslam for his troubles. Abyss rips the door off the cage and goes for Janice. Abyss going back to the ring and he's met with a flurry of punches from a bloody angle as Impact goes off the air..kinda??? Winner: Abyss?? No Contest???
     With Impacts main event ending on ReAction it wasn't a solid way to end the show. Nor was the actual ending to the match. Overall it was an ok show. TNA tends to throw a lot at you in a 2 hour time. They always have a lot going on and sometimes its hard to keep up. Tonight's show wasn't as big of a cluster fuck as its been in the past but still had a  lot going on and did a good job promoting the live Impact on the 7th and Bound For Glory or 10-10-10 as they're calling it.
