TNA Impact Recap- 3/8/2010
Last night was an incredible night for TNA Wrestling. The show started off with a bang when Hulk Hogan and Abyss took on Ric Flair and AJ Styles right away. Part way through the match Sting showed up and took out Hogan and Abyss shocking the world with his heel turn. Flair and Styles took advantage of the situation and bloodied their two opponents. Hogan then got on the mic and said at the end of the night the match will be restarted with no dq’s, and and no countouts. They then showed Sting telling Dixie Carter that he owes her nothing and shoved her into a wall. Dixie then said Sting will have a match later on in the night.
The second match of the evening was Kazarian vs. Christopher Daniels vs. X Division Champion Doug Williams. This was a great contest that was non stop all the way. Eventually Williams won the match with his rolling german suplex. After the match Shannon Moore made his debut and attacked Doug Williams. Eric Bischoff then came out and announced Shannon Moore vs. Doug Williams at the Destination X for the X-Division Championship.
Next up was a three way match for the vacated Knockouts tag team titles between Taylor Wylde/Sarita, Tara/Angelina Love and The Beautiful People. The Beautiful People won the tag titles with some help from Daffney and then proceeded to celebrate backstage with JB.
Sting the came out to the ring to face his unknown opponent, who turned out to be Rob Van Dam. RVD made his debut and beat Sting in about 30 seconds. After the match Sting attakced RVD using his trademark baseball bat. He hit RVD atleast 10 times, hit Hogan with it once again, and hit mutliple security guards. Sting was definitely out of control.
Kurt Angle came out with member of the Armed Forces and told Mr. Anderson that you never mess with an American Soldier. Anderson continued to mock Angle and the soldiers until Angle attacked him. Angle and the American soldiers all beatdown on Mr. Anderson. The soldiers hoisted Kurt up on their soldiers and celebrated. This was a great moment, and a great way to honor our Armed Forces.
Kevin Nash and Eric Young came out and had a one match contract for Hall, and Waltman at Destination X. However Waltman and Hall said if they win they get permnant contracts with the company. Eric Young then defeated Waltman an impromptu match made by Eric Bischoff.
Jeff Jarrett got beat in a handicap match against Beer Money with Foley as the special ref. Foley tried helping but it didn’t work. I think you’re going to see Foley and Jarrett start to team up to make things right for themselves again. Stay tuned for more on that.
Throughout the night people were advising Hulk Hogan not go back out to the thing ring. He told Bubba, Brooke and even his partner Abyss that he had to. The match was on and it was a war between both teams. Hogan was bloodied, Flair was bloodied and it was pure chaos. Abyss eventually got the pin on AJ Styles but after the match things were out of control. Desmond Wolfe and The Pope got involved in the brawl. Then out of nowhere Jeff Hardy comes out and takes out Styles, Wolfe and Flair and the show ends with Hardy giving a Swanton Bomb to AJ Styles.
All I got to say is what a great night for wrestling and a great night for TNA. I really like how TNA keeps pushing the edge with the realistic storylines. I love the X-Division, the blood and the competition. The characters are getting better and the TV show is getting better. I honestly think TNA Wrestling is going to have a huge year this year. Keep coming back each week for my Impact recaps.
