TNA iMPACT TV Results (8/06) - MEM & World Elite Join Forces

Welcome back to your weekly TNA iMPACT TV Results. This week's episode is entitled ?

"Powers Unite"

We see a stretch limo pull up to start the show and Kurt Angle gets out with Eric Young.

The iMPACT Zone is rocking tonight as Tenay runs down a portion of the card.

Tonight, we'll see match No. 2 between Matt Morgan and A.J. Styles, as will a match between Sting and Brutus Magnus.

The Main Event Mafia is headed to the ring and Kurt has the mic. He's not happy that Mick Foley won the Legend's Title from Big Sexy last week. The crowd seems to disagree and Angle tells them to shut their mouths, twice. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing an Olympic hero would say. Kurt goes on to say that Nash is going to get a shot at the Legend's Title at Hard Justice and thinks he'll end Mick's career.

Looks like the Mafia has joined forces with World Elite and they're headed to the ring. Everyone hugs in a creepy kind of way and Eric Young talks about how they're going to be the greatest group ever assembled. The crowd once again doesn't agree.

Ugh, Kurt's yelling at the crowd again, but he's definitely causing them to voice their opinion. I don't think I'm the only one looking forward to these turds getting dismantled.

Young closes out his speech by saying, "let the cleansing begin." When is someone gonna slap this guy?

J.B. is backstage with Mick and he wants to know what this alliance is all about. Mick thinks they believe they're bigger than the business. Sting and Bobby Lashley are there to help fight back. I think we're in for a fun night.

We're back from a commercial and Daniels is backstage with Lauren. He wants Eric Young to step up and be a man, instead of being a traitor. The Motor City Machine Guns interrupt, saying that they haven't been on TV in a month and Daniels isn't pleased. He says that they haven't been on TV because the Mafia is taking everyone's spot. If they want to be on TV so bad, they should head to the ring with him for his match with EY.

Match 1 ? Daniels (w/ the Motor City Machine Guns) vs. Eric Young (w/ Bashir and Kiyoshi)

Daniels gets the upper hand and whips EY into the corner. Bashir pulls EY out of the ring for the save and Daniels hits them both with a suicide dive. The Guns don't seem to be interested in helping Daniels and the members of the World Elite gang up on him. EY goes for the pin and gets a two-count. Roman Soldier helmet over the ropes by EY on Daniels, but he gets some momentum and tosses EY into the ropes. Young reverses with a swinging neck breaker. Scoop and a slam by Young as he goes up for the moonsault. Misses and Daniels hits a spin kick. Daniels puts EY on the top rope in the corner and hits the Fall From Grace, following it up with a sitout power bomb. He goes for the pin and gets a two-count. Daniels goes for the BME and misses and then goes for the Angel's Wings. The ref gets distracted and Kiyoshi spits some junk in Daniels' face and Young hits a pile driver for the win. Motor City Machine Guns continue to read magazines at ringside. Nice job guys. But then the Guns are attacked by Bashir and Kiyoshi on the outside.

Winner: Eric Young

Tenay and West run down the rest of tonight's card which includes and 8-man tag match between 3D and Beer Money are taking on Steiner, Booker, Doug Williams and Rob Terry.

Backstage Lauren is with Beer Money and 3D. Roode is not happy with Eric Young, a guy he knows very well. Brother Ray says that while Roode may be pissed, Young caused 3D to lose their belts to the British Invasion and he doesn't seem happy about it.

Match 2 ? British Invasion (Rob Terry and Doug Williams w/Brutus Magnus), Scott Steiner and Booker T vs. Beer Money Inc and Team 3D

Brother Ray and Scotty start us off with Steiner getting the advantage. Scoop and a slam looks like nothing to Steiner. Scotty flexes and Ray gets the upper hand with a sidewalk slam. Goes for a pin and gets a two-count. Tags in Devon and Steiner tags in Williams. Devon with some shots in the corner as he tags in James Storm. Storm doesn't look right without a brew in his hand. Nice neckbreaker by Storm who tags in Roode. They turn their backs after a double suplex and Rob Terry gets tagged in. Terry's got as many moves as Hogan in his prime, but he's built like a monster.

We've got all eight men in the ring and when the dust settles, Ray is in the ring with Williams. Devon hits the Wassup and the crowd calls for the tables.

World Elite makes their way to the ring and now Daniels comes down with the Machine Guns and they go after World Elite. Ok, now Nash is headed to the ring, followed by Angle and Samoa Joe and then Foley, Lashley and Sting head to the ring. Basically, we've got the entire company out there going at it and the crowd is going wild. I'm surprised nobody's jumped the guardrail yet.

In the ring, Terry knocks down Storm and gets the pin and we head to commercial while the chaos ensues.

Winners: British Invasion, Steiner and Book

Back from the break and the riot continues. Bashir, Kiyoshi and EY are in the ring with Daniels and the Guns, while Sting and Foley are outside the building fighting with Nash and Angle. In the parking lot, 3D and Beer Money are fighting with Booker, Steiner and the Invasion.

Daniels hits the BME on Kiyoshi in the ring and we go backstage where Lashley and Joe are going at it.

Seriously, this is insane. There are beatings happening everywhere and the crowd loves it. Oh God, the cops just showed up to break up the action as we head to a commercial. Why must the come and ruin this? I could seriously watch this for the entire two hours. Someone get the TNA booking department on the phone and tell them to roll with this. Of course, if they did that, I'd have to listen to Iron Mike scream for another hour. I don't know if my ears could handle that.

We're back, everything's calm and Tenay and West recap the madness. Really, we're following up all of that with a Knockout's tag match? Meh.

Match 3 ? Alissa Flash and Traci Brooks vs. Taylor Wilde and Sarita

They are pushing Sarita and Flash like crazy! If I had to pick one of the four to beat the tar out of the others, it's gotta be Flash. Some back and forth in the ring, but Brooks and Flash have the upper hand. Seriously, why do they even let Traci wrestle? She's got as many moves as Nash and I think I just saw some plumbers crack.

Sarita's got some good moves, but really, it seems she just takes a good beating. Small package by Sarita on Alissa Flash for the pin. Think they're setting up a match for Hard Justice?

Winners: Taylor Wilde and Sarita

After the match, Flash hits a sitout scoop slam on Sarita. I mean, can they push this rivalry anymore?

Backstage Lauren is with the Beautiful People and Angelina says she's ready to give ODB a match at Hard Justice. It'll be ODB and Cody Deaner vs. Angelina and Velvet. Really? Whatever.

We go outside where Hernandez is making his way to the building and we see Kip cleaning up the mess from the brawl.

After a commercial, Lauren is backstage with A.J. Styles, who's getting ready for his match with the Blueprint. In seven years, he's never seen anything like the brawl that happened earlier, but first things first. He wants to make it to the three-way dance at Hard Justice.

After running down the card for the PPV, we see a video package for Hernandez. Tenay is talking to him backstage and he says that he and Homicide are on different paths. He's into winning the tag belts again, but right now, it isn't happening.

After the interview wraps up, we go backstage to Lauren who's talking to Homicide. He says that he's going to take out Samoa Joe and keep the X Division title around his waist.

With all of these people in TNA getting let go, how exactly does Lauren keep her job? I am going to talk about this every week because I can't stand her interview skills. She couldn't talk her way out of a McDonald's drive-thru. Yeah, I don't know what that means either, but it sounded good, right?

Back from the break we're recapping A.J.'s win last week over Matt Morgan.

Match 4 ? Matt Morgan vs. A.J. Styles (Second in the best of three series)

Ok, so if A.J. won last week, I've got money on Morgan winning this week. Anyone want to take that bet?

Morgan's got the upper hand, hitting the elbows in the corner and tossing Styles from a sidewalk slam hold. The Blueprint hits a fall away slam on A.J., chokes him on the ropes and then gives him a knee in the head.

Styles is getting beat down, but after Morgan misses a clothesline, A.J. hits the Pele kick and goes for a cover. Two-count. Styles tries to get to the top rope, but Morgan catches him and gets the upper hand. Hellevator by Morgan and a three-count. Wow, who would have guessed? Oh, that's right.

Winner: Matt Morgan

After a commercial, we're backstage and J.B. catches Kurt Angle leaving the arena. Abyss is back there as well trying to hide so nobody can collect the $50,000 bounty Dr. Stevie put on him. Lethal Consequences tries to collect, but Abyss gives them a whooping and takes off. We've got the main event coming our way after the break.

Match 5 ? Brutus Magnus (w/ the British Invasion) vs. Sting

Big Rob and Williams get sent backstage, which has to change Magnus' gameplan. Stinger with a big pop from the crowd as he gets the upper hand to start. After Brutus rolls out of the ring, he comes back in to gain the advantage. We're headed to a commercial as Magnus drops the elbow on Sting's leg and locks it in a submission.

When we come back, Brutus has the advantage, but after heading to the top rope and trying a high flying maneuver, Sting catches him and locks on the Scorpion Death Lock. Ref calls for the bell.

Winner: Sting

After the match, World Elite heads to the ring to beat up Sting, but Bobby Lashley and Mick Foley are right behind them to clean house.

Uh oh. We thought the Mafia left the building, but it isn't so! They're headed to the ring to take out Sting, Lashley and Foley. After the Mafia and World Elite take everyone out, Hernandez heads to the ring, swinging a chain and clearing the ring. Looks like the Lashley, Foley and Sting have someone else on their side.

Great show tonight. Loved the brawl, some good matches and good development of the storylines. A couple of weeks ago, I wasn't sure how this was going to go, but the outlook is definitely better than I had perceived. Until next week.
