TNA Impact, July 19

TNA Impact
July 19

1. Show opens with JB telling Kurt Angle (in a tanning bed wearing a speedo...) that Jim Cornette was looking for him.

2. Match- Triple X (Senshi,Christopher Daniels, and Elix Skipper) def. Martyr, Havoc, and Raven after a leg drop (Skipper), BME (Daniels) and a Warrior's Way (Senshi)

Awesome to see Triple X back together! They looked just as awesome now as they did 4 years ago. A great opener. 7/10

3. Kazarian came out and attacked Raven.

4. JB tries to get Angle (still in a tanning bed) to see Cornette again. Kurt finds that someone stole Kurt's title belts and clothes...

5. Backstage interview with Christian. He talks about the revenge match with Chris Harris and Rhino later.

6. Team 3-D come out and cut a promo on the Steiner Brothers. Apparently they are heels now. Devon attacks Mike Tenay.

7. Backstage Angle talks to the rest of the roster about where all his stuff is. He randomly decides to attack Shark Boy.

8. Match- Kip James def. Lance Hoyt with the Famouser 4/10

OK match I suppose. Apparently this new Roxxi Laveaux character guarantees they VKM will win no matter what using her voodoo powers I guess. Roxxi once again beat up Hemme after the match. BG also joined Don West and Mike Tenay on commentary.

9. Samoa Joe backstage interview. He talks about his announcement saying it the biggest challenge ever made in TNA.

10. Kurt Angle is still looking for his clothes this time talking to the producers and attacks one who tries to leave. Mildly entertaining I guess...

11. Revenge Match- Christian Cage and James Storm def. Chris Harris and Rhino after Dustin Rhodes knocked Harris out with a chair

Good match here but kind of a dissapointing ending. Storm and Cage were about to pour beer on Rhino when Abyss and Sting came out to his aid. Cage escaped through the crowd but Abyss followed.
Side note: It appears Harris was injured after the chair shot from Rhodes.

12. Cornette tells Angle to put some clothes on if he wants to say something to the fans.

13. We catch up with Cage backstage. He tries to get out of dodge in AJ Style's truck but Abyss appears in the backseat. Cage and Styles run away screaming...

14. Angle comes out (in a robe) saying it was a funny prank stealing his suit, belts, and underwear. He blaims the fans for stealing his stuff and selling his underwear on Ebay. Samoa Joe comes out holding Angle's clothes and title belts. He says he wants to bury the hatchet between himself and Kurt. He gives Kurt's belts back and says he wants to find out who's the best in the world. He goes on to say they are the two best wrestlers in the world today. He wants himself and Kurt Angle to face each other one more time at Hard Justice saying that all the gold in TNA! Angle accepts! Joe then turns on Angle and headbutts him then sets up a table. After disrobing Angle (literally) Joe attempts to put Angle through the table but Angle counters tackling Joe through the table. He then puts the ankle lock on Joe.
__________________________________________________________________

Pretty good Impact here. Like I said before it's awesome seeing Triple X together again! They looked great. The segment at the end was very entertaining and the match should be pretty awesome at Hard Justice. All the gold will be on the line which I assume also includes Angle's IWGP title as well.

Overall- 7/10
