- Kurt Angle & Mick Foley vs. Matt Morgan & Abyss They taped this match on Monday and from what I was told it was garbage so I guess they were intending to re-tape it tonight. Ended in 4:14 after Morgan hit a footprint on Foley.
- (Taped for Xplosion/web match) Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir & Kiyoshi in 4 minutes.Kiyoshi & Bashir beat down the machine guns afterwards.
- (Taped for Xplosion/web match) Taylor Wilde w/Sarita defeated Traci in 2:41 via German Suplex.
- Impact starts with an MEM promo. All of the MEM is out. There were so many boos that you could not make out what Kurt was saying. I heard that they were celebrating the MEM being around for a year and was essentially a pep talk showing how everyone needs to win their matches at BFG.
AJ/Beer Money/Matt Morgan/Hernandez/Team 3D come out on the ramp. Ray says that everyone is tired of the MEM. He hands the mic to the champ and calls BFG a make or break show in terms of the Mafia's tenure in TNA. Says they are 3 days away from the MEM ceasing to exist. Matt Morgan says he is not waiting 3 days. He runs down to the ring along with the rest on the ramp and a brawl starts. Security broke it up.
- The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky/Lacey Von Erich/Madison Rayne) vs. ODB/Amazing Kong with Raisha Saeed/Tara This match did not last long. Kong and Tara got in a disagreement and Kong left. Then ODB and Victoria got in a disagreement and she left ODB by herself to get pinned by Velvet. Lacey was hardly in the match to my recollection. Lasted about 3 minutes.
- X-Division Title Match: Amazing Red (C) with DON WEST vs. Suicide Needless to say I marked for this decision because back in the weekly PPV days, Don ALWAYS marked for Red including standing on the announce table and chanted "GO RED GO" in a couple matches. The match itself was good at about 3:40 in time. The Pope interfered and the match was ruled a no contest. Pope went to attack Suicide as Red looked on but Red hit Pope with a dropkick to send Pope to the back.
- Hernandez in a gauntlet match against The British Invasion. Eric Young is on commentary for this. Hernandez enters (in his old LAX gear AKA white wifebeater/khaki shorts). He gets in Eric Young's face and says something on the mic but I could not hear it. Doug Williams comes out and is eliminated in about a minute. Brutus Magnus is eliminated in about 2. Rob Terry is last and is taken out with a brutal Liger Bomb by Hernandez in about a 4 minute gauntlet. EY jumps Hernandez and he and the British Invasion beat him down.
- Christopher Daniels beat The Pope in about a 5 minute match via The Angel's Wings. Pretty good for what it was. Suicide runs out after the match and looks like he is going to go after the Pope but goes after Daniels instead and hits a Gringo Killer on Daniels and unmasks as Homicide. I am assuming Homicide somehow acquired Suicide's gear but I was a little confused by that.
- There is a lounge chair in the ring. Mick Foley comes out with a bowl of popcorn and sits in it. He essentially called Abyss "good for a Foley knockoff." He then airs some clips of Abyss. He shows Abyss with Mitchell calling having an evil manager "original." He shows Abyss pouring tacks in Monster's Ball III at BFG 06 mentioning how he did that in 1995. He then shows Abyss going through the flaming table at BFG IV saying how he did that with Edge in what was considered the Match of the Year. Abyss comes out with a Barbed Wire Bat. He pushes Foley out of the chair and holds the bat against him. A video is shown on the screen of (whom I assume to be Lauren) with her back to the camera and Stevie holding her. Foley tells Abyss to go find her. He runs to the back. They did not show the end to this segment. I would assume that it was Daffney disguised as Lauren and she and Stevie jumped Abyss.
- Alissa Flash vs. Ayako Hamada in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Pretty fun little brawl. Some spots included a curb stomp off the floor, Ayako doing a flipping senton onto Melissa from the ramp to the side of the stage. Ayako won via moonsault through a table on the outside in about 5 minutes. It was good and will probably come off better on TV.
- Bobby Lashley vs. Rhino in a Stretcher match. Rules for this were you had to put your opponent on a stretcher and take him to the back. Not much better than their PPV match in September. Rhino went for a Gore through the stage setup (ala Abyss/Angle at Turning Point last year) but Lashley got out of the way. Lashley won the match in 5:24. He had some problems putting Rhino in the ambulance so he essentially had Rhino on the stretcher and just kind of dumped him into the ambulance for the win.
- AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle (Non title) Not to overhype this, but to me, this was one of the best matches in Impact history. Up there with the likes of Joe/Daniels in 06, AJ & Dutt & Aries/Joe & Daniels & Shelley in 05, and Storm/Harris in 07. It ended in a very competitive 20 minute draw. As far as star ratings go, I would put it in the ***3/4 to ****1/4 margin. They literally busted out everything and then some (no spiral tap spotting though). Unlike how the Orlando crowd can be, they were really into the match and did not bust out a "This is awesome" chant until about 15 to 16 minutes into the match. The last 30 seconds had Angle hold AJ in the Ankle Lock but AJ did not tap as the time limit expired. Sting comes down after the match and AJ ignored him. He got on the mic and said that the fans will never see AJ Styles go to a draw again. As long as he wins, that does not bother me.
- As a crowd pleaser (meaning won't make air) Kip James beat a jobber in a surprisingly OK match considering it is Kip James. The match was announced before AJ/Angle as a "Special attraction" because a lot of the fans in the Impact Zone love Kip.

In the main event of WWE Superstars on Thursday night, the WWE Universe watched a hard-fought battle between two of SmackDowns most dominant ring warriors. Ultimately though, it was a third supercilious Superstar who stole the entire spotlight.

CM Punk def. Intercontinental Champion John Morrison by Disqualification (PHOTOS | WATCH) While sitting ringside with Todd Grisham during the main event of WWE Superstars, United States Champion The Miz took the time to scout his former tag team partner and opponent at WWE Bragging Rights, Intercontinental Champion John Morrison. It wouldnt be long, however, before the arrogant Superstar would interfere. With Morrison seemingly about to deliver some Starship Pain on CM Punk, The Miz stormed into the ring and intentionally attacked The Straightedge Superstar to disqualify The Guru of Greatness.
The United States Champion may have gained some momentum in his rivalry with Morrison, but what will happen when these former allies, turned foes, square off at WWE Bragging Rights one week from Sunday at Pittsburghs Mellon Arena?
Vladimir Kozlov def. Tommy Dreamer (PHOTOS | WATCH) After coming to the ring accompanied by his associate in the ruthless roundtable, Ezekiel Jackson, Vladimir Kozlov made it clear to Tommy Dreamer that he had only one thing on his mind: Victory. Honing in on The ECW Originals already injured arm, The Moscow Mauler brutally attacked Dreamers left elbow, pinning his opponent for the win. To add insult to injury, Jackson then took to the ring, dispatching Kozlovs already defeated opponent with a thunderous slam. Following the match, Dreamers swollen elbow had to be drained by a medical professional. (PHOTOS)
Mark Henry def. Chris Masters to qualify for Team Raw (PHOTOS | WATCH) It was apparent that Mark Henry desperately wanted to join Team Raw at WWE Bragging Rights in the first-ever 14-Superstar tag team match. The Worlds Strongest Man overcame an injured left knee against Chris Masters to qualify and unite with co-captains DX, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston. Henry utilized his size and strength to bulldoze over his opponent, finishing The Masterpiece off with a bone-crushing body slam, and earning himself a ticket to WWE Bragging Rights in the process. (MATCH PREVIEW)
One main event WWE star has boasted to friends about failing for marijuana 14 times. This particular wrestler hasn't faced the same scrutiny from management as some of the mid-carders whose pushes were stopped due to repeated test failures. However, the fine for failing for pot was recently levied from $1,000 to $2,500 and it has him thinking twice.
Like many wrestlers in the company, he is now using a product sold at head shops (retail outlet specializing in drug paraphernalia related to consumption of cannabis and other recreational drugs) which gives off a similar effect as marijuana, but is legally sold and does not show up in drug tests.
Among some locker room circles, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels are two of the least popular wrestlers these days. Even those who appear on Smackdown and have minimal exposure to them feel as though they are abusing their power and standing in the way of WWE elevating new stars.
The overwhelming sentiment among those in the company is that RAW's "no man's land" in the sense there are no full-fledged pushes to be had as a result of the strong influence of Hunter and Michaels, as well as Randy Orton and John Cena. Many feel if even one of these main event performers dislikes you enough to badmouth you to management, you won't be getting a push.
ProWrestling.net is reporting that Kevin Nash has indeed opted to roll his current contract over for another year with TNA. Nash will be remaining with TNA as opposed to leaving the company or returning to WWE when his contract expires.
There were some rumors that Nash would be leaving along with Booker T and Scott Steiner. However, TNA feels that Nash still has some name value when it comes to promoting live events.
Scott Steiner is heavily rumored to be on his way out of TNA following this Sundays Bound for Glory pay-per-view. He is said to be on the bubble as a result of his friendship with Jeff Jarrett and because company president Dixie Carter has never been a big fan of his. There were rumors a few weeks ago indicating he had given notice, but it appears management made the call in this case.
Booker T also looks to be finishing up with TNA once his contract expires. Hes not been happy in recent weeks and refused to put over Matt Morgan several weeks ago. The Bound for Glory PPV on Sunday could be his final date with the company as well.
Bryan Alvarez reports if WWE decide to re-introduce the "War Games" concept for pay-per-view, it will not be a duplicate of the same match WCW had with the dual cages, but that could change.
The idea of bringing back War Games to WWE has been brought up several times over the years but was always shot down. The WWE creative team was recently told to watch old War Games matches to come up with ideas they can use or tweak.

Were sad to report that WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano (Louis Vincent Albano) has died. He was 76 years old. His cause of death is still unknown at this time. Earlier this week, his family sent out a statement that he was under hospice care. They said he did not have cancer and asked for supporters to respect his privacy.
Captain Lou was a one of a kind personality who had a 40+ year career in the wrestling business as a wrestler and manager. The manager of champions guided 15 different tag teams and 4 singles competitors to championship gold. Along with Cyndi Lauper, Albano helped pioneer the Rock n Wrestling movement during the 1980s that helped the WWF become a part of mainstream pop culture.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family of the late Captain Lou.
Former WWE Superstar Rob Van Dam commented on rumors of him appearing at the TNA "Bound For Glory" PPV this weekend during an interview on the Between The Ropes radio show last night.
"Well, I certainly don't have any plans of bringing my wrestling boots," the former WWE champion stated. "But Sonya (RVD's wife) has been talking to Sharmell and I plan on seeing Booker T while he is here."

Ezekiel Jackson def. Goldust Paul Burchill def. The Hurricane ECW Champion Christian & Yoshi Tatsu def. William Regal & Zack Ryder
LEXINGTON, KY - While William Regal and his minions stood supreme in the center of the ring last Tuesday, The British Brawler found out the hard way what happens when partners betray one another in team competition on tonights ECW on Syfy.
ECW Champion Christian & Yoshi Tatsu def. William Regal & Zack Ryder (PHOTOS | WATCH) Earlier in the evening, William Regal and Zack Ryder had a heated confrontation backstage, leading the WWE Universe to wonder if these two Superstars would be on the same page going into tonights main event. (WATCH)
Despite The British Brawler demand that Ryder follow his instructions during their tag team match against ECW Champion Christian & Yoshi Tatsu, his cocky partner was not about to yield to the former ECW interim General Manager. After the two began to quarrel in the corner, Ryder refused the tag from Regal and attacked his partner, allowing Captain Charisma to dial up the Killswitch and pin the self-centered Blackpool, England-native for the victory.
Paul Burchill def. The Hurricane (PHOTOS | WATCH) Its becoming evident why Katie Lea has described her brother as the most brutal, vicious man in WWE. Paul Burchill wasnt about to let The Hurricane gain any momentum in their enduring rivalry as The Ripper merited some retribution against his opponent with an impressive win on ECW on Syfy.
Sheamus isnt finished with Shelton Benjamin (PHOTOS | WATCH) After being disqualified for not following the officials warnings while punishing Shelton Benjamins injured left shoulder on last Thursdays WWE Superstars, Sheamus told the WWE Universe he will stop at nothing to annihilate The Gold Standard. The Celtic Warrior claims he is not at all intimidated by Benjamins awesome athletic talent and believes his supremacy in this rivalry will help him ascend to ECW superstardom.
Ezekiel Jackson def. Goldust (PHOTOS | WATCH) When not assisting William Regal in his quest to become ECW Champion, Ezekiel Jackson has been wreaking havoc on the rest of the competition. The Guyanese Goliaths pure size and strength have proven simply too insistent for his opponents. Big Zeke racked up another victory tonight when his partner, Vladimir Kozlov, distracted the official to allow Jackson to finish off Goldust with a resounding modified uranage slam.
F4WOnline.com is reporting that Lacey Von Erich's problems in TNA are an ongoing issue as this past Thursday's Impact broadcast had to be heavily edited when Von Erich reportedly fell flat on her face while trying to do a run-in during the Knockout's elimination bout.
In further Von Erich news, ProWrestling.net is reporting that she suffered some sort of a hamstring injury while she was training awhile back at the Impact Zone. When she instructed a trainer to get her an icepack for her injury, she went back to the Knockout's locker room as opposed to the training room. When the trainer entered the locker room, Awesome Kong was reportedly only half dressed and the former Knockouts champion was not happy to say the least. This lead to Kong berating Von Erich later on in front of Kurt Angle, and there was said to be some minor heat on Von Erich thereafter with TNA management.
Beth Phoenix was moved to Smackdown because it was felt that she lost momentum on RAW. It's been rumored that she could be paired up with Dolph Ziggler.
The Bella Twins were moved to RAW because Vince McMahon was said to have "fallen in love with them" following their guest host skits on RAW several weeks back. They are expected to be featured in guest host segments on a regular basis now.
WWE is said to be high on both Jilian Hall (McMahon likes her act) and Melina (which is why she was moved to RAW).
There is talk that Mickie James has been frustrated with her position in WWE. Though specific details were not specified, it's being said that she has been unhappy the past few months.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE is not happy with her weight and recent in-ring work.
WWE officials were reportedly very pleased with guest host Maria Menounos' performance on Monday's RAW. While the idea of the television personality performing for WWE as a regular is not on the table, the feeling is that WWE would definitely be interested in booking Menounos for another appearance if it made sense creatively.
