TNA Impact Recap-5/20/2010

The show started off with the naming of all the top 10 contenders for the TNA Heavyweight Title. Sting was named the number one contender and then he attacked Eric Bischoff. Abyss came in but he had no luck. However Jeff Hardy managed to get the bat away from Sting. Jeff Hardy versus Sting was announced for later on in the night.

Roxxi returned after a few months off with an ankle injury to take on Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne. It was a pretty good matchup that saw Roxxi actually defeating Madison in a non-title match up.

Kurt Angle came out talking about how he’s not the best anymore and how he’s now going to try and be the best again. He took himself out of the top 10 contenders and has decided to wrestle everyone on the list until he gets to number one.

Rob Terry took on Orlando Jordan in a non-title match and in ended with the referee stopping the match because Rob Terry was in pain from the leg hold. The feud between Rob Terry and OJ is far from over. I’ll be curious to see what they do next.
