Couple pieces of news dealing with TNA was the announcement a few days ago by Dixie Carter that the company signed a big name. The person is apparently someone the fans have been asking about. Carlito? Shelton Benjamin? Mickie James? According to the guys over at The Sports Courier it's James. I was quick to shout out Carlito after a tweet by D'Angelo Dinero but Dinero quickly replied to folks that it was purely coincidence that his tweet included the word "cool".

Earlier today, Carter tweeted that the Thursday prior to Bound for Glory the company will air a live iMPACT!. There are more changes to come as well.

Show Starts

A video hyping the tournament to crown the new world champion airs with soundbites from the four remaining men, Eric Bischoff, and Hulk Hogan. The show is titled "10.10.10" so they seem to be focusing on the pay-per-view in October, not this Sunday?

In-Ring Segment

Hogan, Bischoff, and Ms. Tessmacher heads to the ring. Hogan puts over the talent in the back. The final four competitors, who will be competing in a tag match later, are welcomed to the ring. Bischoff reiterates that the tournament was put in place to prove that the winner is truly the best in the company. Bischoff puts over RVD as a great champion. Abyss heads to the ring to bring news from "Them". Abyss knocks down the rumors that "They" are EV2.0 and Fourtune. The revelation of "They" will be at Bound for Glory. When "They" show up they will take over TNA, turning it upside down. The first thing will be getting rid of Dixie and then the systematic removal of guys including everyone in the ring. They have to go to commercial but we see Jeff Hardy deliver a couple shots to Abyss before we leave.

Match #1: Angelina Love and Velvet Sky vs. Madison Rayne and Mystery Biker

Madison Rayne and the biker ride out to the Beautiful People's music despite the announcer announcing Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. After Rayne tells the biker to take off the helmet (leaving a mask on), Love and Sky appear on the ramp.

Ladies start fighting on the outside. Biker is sent into the guardrail by TBP. Rayne is in the ring and trapped between her former stablemates. Rayne tries to plead her case but Love and Sky want no part of it. Before Sky could hit Rayne with the tickler (weapon), the biker makes the save and the match officially starts. Love and Sky are in control of the match. Double-team suplex to Rayne. The biker uses the motorcycle helmet to hit Sky in the back and Rayne gets the pin. Love gets hit with the helmet after the match as well.

Winner: Madison Rayne and Mystery Biker via pinfall

The mask is taken off to reveal Tara as the biker. Mike Tenay remarks that we haven't seen her on TV since she lost to Rayne.

Backstage Segment

Stevie Richards speaks to the camera about his match later against Abyss. He is not afraid of the monster and he plans to use tonight to step outside the shadow of his comrades.

Following that, we focus on Abyss and who "They" are. Kurt Angle says he thinks Abyss needs psychological help.

We will hear from RVD next week.

Match #2: Stevie Richards vs. Abyss

Guys start fighting on the outside. Abyss drops Richards and then rolls him into the ring. Match officially begins. Richards jumps on Abyss in the corner and pounds away on his opponent. Richards wants the Stevie Kick but Abyss grabs hold of his foot. Corner splash by Abyss. Abyss goes to the outside and gets a chair. Ref wants to get the chair but Abyss pushes him aside. Stevie Kick and Richards gets the win.

Winner: Stevie Richards via pinfall

Richards' celebration is cut short as Abyss clubs him and then hits the Shock Treatment. Quick shot backstage where EV2 and Fourtune are being held apart by security. Mick Foley seems to have some ankle injury. Back to the ring, Black Hole Slam to Richards. Abyss goes for Janice but Brian Kendrick runs out and baseball slides Abyss. Kendrick grabs Richards and rushes him to the back.

Anderson talks to the camera about saving Pope several times but Pope still not trusting him. Dinero enters and the two have some words. They tag later tonight.

In-Ring Segment

Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Sabu, and Foley are in the ring. Dreamer wants Ric Flair and Fourtune to come to the ring and "do this" after they wanted to fight in the back and injuring Foley. AJ Styles leads his squad out and reminds Dreamer whose house it is. Styles lets us know that Sabu faces Douglas Williams for the X Division title. Sabu has no chance of beating Williams according to Styles. Rhino doesn't stand a chance against Abyss and Styles will make Dreamer say "I quit". Dreamer says they don't have to wait until Sunday. Dreamer wants a 4-on-4 match tonight.

Backstage Segment

Jeff Jarrett is making his case to Samoa Joe to have his back tonight as he wrestles Sting. Joe says the one thing he has learned in this business is "to mind your own."

Match #3: Sting w/ Kevin Nash vs. Jeff Jarrett

Nash grabs the leg of Jarrett but the ref is unknowing. Jarrett is knocked to the outside and is stalked by Nash before rolling back in the ring. Sting gets on the offensive until Jarrett gets an opening. Jarrett starts fighting both men on the outside but Sting gets his window of opportunity. Short-arm clothesline by Sting on the ramp. Jarrett is brought back to the ring but Sting isn't moving fast enough and Jarrett is able to take hold of Sting's head and slam it into the turnbuckles. An attempt to suplex Sting into the ring is thwarted by Nash who grabs Jarrett's leg again.

Winner: Sting via pinfall

Sting and Nash return to double teaming Jarrett until Hogan's music hits. Sting is on the outside taunting Hogan but Nash doesn't see Samoa Joe sneak into the ring. Joe tackles Nash. Sting tells Joe he's in the wrong place. Joe calls him a coward as Sting backs away.

In-Ring Segment

London Brawling (Desmond Wolfe and Magnus) with Chelsea are planning on taking the belts off the "boys" and bringing them to the men. This brings out the Motor City Machine Guns. Alex Shelley gets the crowd to prove who they feel is the best tag team. Chris Sabin reiterates that they are the greatest tag team in the universe while the only tag teaming London Brawling does is to each other. We get some hilarious banter from both teams. Brawling wants to prove that they aren't gay while the Guns make jokes about Chelsea. Wolfe wants Chelsea to tell everyone he rocks her world and he's the biggest thing this side of the pond. Chelsea says that if there was a swordfight in the ring Wolfe would fall a little short. Wolfe is irate but then he and Magnus attack the Guns.

Backstage Segment

Backstage, Dreamer is saying that the team is dropping like flies. Kendrick comes in and wants to offer his services to the group. Dreamer doesn't want Kendrick to get involved but Kendrick wants to take Foley's place. Foley says that Kendrick is out of his mind and he's perfect for the group.

Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle talking about their match tonight and at the pay-per-view. Hardy says that Angle could possibly lose and have his career ended on Sunday. Angle doesn't plan on losing then or tonight. Hardy needs to focus on tonight or injuries can occur.

Match #4: AJ Styles, Kazarian, and Beer Money vs. Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Sabu, and Brian Kendrick

This is an elimination match. Rhino and James Storm start. They exchange blows until Kazarian is tagged in. Kazarian gives Rhino some punches but then runs into a dropkick. Nice swinging DDT by Sabu to Kaz. Douglas Williams grabs the foot of Sabu as Sabu tried to spring off the ropes. Kazarian rolls up Sabu for the pin. Sabu is eliminated. Sabu is incredulous. He punches Kazarian and dives on Williams. They fight to the back.

Kendrick is battling with Kazarian. Kendrick tries a springboard crossbody but Kendrick lands on the knee of Kaz. Running knee to the midsection from Robert Roode to Kendrick. Kendrick connects with a dropkick to Kazarian. Kazarian is eliminated. Kendrick is going "crazy" by attacking Styles and blatantly choking him in front of the ref. The ref pulls him off twice and then Kendrick hits the ref with a dropkick. The ref is knocked out of the ring and the men all begin to fight. Commercials.

After the break it is revealed that Kendrick was disqualified by the new referee. (Announcers mention Nash and Sting vs. Jarrett and Joe on Sunday) Dreamer is able to hit a bad-looking spinebuster on Roode. Rhino gets tagged in and he lays out Storm, Roode, and Styles. Storm tries to get a shot in but Rhino stops him and hits a belly-to-belly. GORE on Storm. Roode breaks up the pin. Roode gets leveled by Rhino. Rhino wants to Gore Roode but Abyss appears at ringside. Rhino and Abyss battle out of view and Rhino is eliminated. Dreamer is all by himself against the three men. Dreamer is able to deliver a DDT to Roode just as Styles flies for a forearm. Styles misses Dreamer and Dreamer pins Roode. Roode is eliminated.

Kofi Kingston def. Chavo Guerrero (PHOTOS | WATCH)
For a few weeks, it looked as though Chavo Guerrero may have turned things around. The self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” was riding a wave of success after scoring consecutive victories over Chris Masters and JTG on “WWE Superstars,” but all things must pass. For Guerrero, that happened tonight as the explosive Kofi Kingston dropped the boom on the cagey veteran. You’ll get ’em next time, Chavo.

Santino Marella def. Jimmy Uso (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Everyone in the WWE Universe knows Santino Marella is hilarious, but who knew he was so irresistible to women? His surprising sex appeal was on full display tonight as Jimmy Uso’s manager, Tamina, couldn’t help but lust after the Italian Superstar. This wild attraction kept the Diva distracted and helped Santino dispose of the tag team specialist in short order.

Ted DiBiase def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Who says money can’t buy happiness? Certainly not Ted DiBiase, who walked to ring tonight with the Million Dollar Championship around his waist, the gorgeous Maryse on his arm and a look of determination in his eye. Although the “Fortunate Son” was going up against the veteran Goldust, he showed no bit of intimidation before locking up with The Bizarre One. And with Maryse keeping Goldust distracted from ringside, it wasn’t long before DiBiase hit Dream Street to cash in another rich victory.

Posted by Corbin Nordhoff on 09/01/2010 at 05:32 PM

Credit: F4WOnline.com

Brian Kendrick is now a member of the EV 2.0 stable in TNA. It was originally believed he was the replacement for The Sandman, who missed the recent tapings, but word is that Kendrick was already planned to be added to the stable.

It appears The Sandman is done with TNA but Tommy Dreamer was trying to get officials to give him a second chance.

Sandman was originally booked to face Abyss at the No Surrender PPV but the match was changed when he no-showed. It will now be Abyss vs. Rhino in the Falls Count Anywhere match.

Believe it or not, it’s said that Kendrick will be doing part of the role originally planned for Mick Foley. It’s likely that Foley is resting up for something big at Bound For Glory.
