TNA iMPACT ** SPOILERS **  -by David Tuthill  (www.wrestlingobserver.com)

TNA returned for a second day's worth of tapings. They were taping for
different weeks and it was hard to keep track of what went where, but
here are the results:

-Chris Sabin d. Brother Devon and Abyss in a three-way. I suppose this
was the first round of the "Turkey Bowl" that was taped yesterday

-Samoa Joe d. Johnny Devine and Kip James in a three-way. Havok
changing his name was just the beginning for names tonight. Joe won
with an Island Driver on Havok.

-AJ Styles d. Christian Cage and Jay Lethal in a three-way. Cage
didn't come out at first, so it was Styles and Lethal early. When he
did, Styles ran away from him. Cage had Lethal beat with an Unprettier
but Styles hit a springboard splash while Cage was turned for the pin.

-ODB d. Velvet Sky (Talia Madison) and Angelina Love (Angel Williams).
Very odd to change the names of the wrestler's who have already been
on TV. OK match. ODB won with a top rope thesz press. She is really
great. The women's division in TNA has been a big surprise.

-Booker T and Sharmell come out for a promo. He says he's in TNA to
make it the best company in the world and that he's gunning for the
world title. Robert Roode comes out and the two banter back and forth
before security gets in between them. They agree to a match later.

-Jimmy Rave & Christy Hemme d. Eric Young & Gail Kim. The
Rave/Hoyt/Hemme act are being called the "Rock n Rave Infection". That
isn't a typo. After the match, James Storm comes out and challenges
Eric Young to a speed drinking contest. Whoever can drink the most in
60 seconds wins the belt. It was funny seeing Young win despite
pouring 90% of the beer down his chest. After Young is declared the
winner, Storm breaks a bottle over his head and lays him out. Young
bleeds VERY heavily. It's kind of odd to do such a heavy angle in a
comedy feud, but this certainly got over.

-Team 3D d. Sonjay Dutt and Jay Lethal in a Streetfight. They brawled
around early, with Dutt and Lethal both doing dives into the crowd.
Dutt landed a flip van terminator with a trash can. Johnny Devine came
out and distracted Dutt and Lethal, enabling the Dudleyz to nail the
3D for the pin.

-Rhino d. Relic. Short. Rhino with the Gore. Black Reign hits the ring
for a 2on1 post match, and Abyss makes the save. We're running on a
treadmill with these guys.

-Booker T d. Robert Roode. Pretty standard match here, but you can
definitely tell Booker is a lot happier. Roode went for a chairshot
and Booker got out of the way and nailed a leg lariat and hit the Axe
kick for the win.

-MAIN EVENT: Samoa Joe, Kaz, Scott Steiner & Abyss d. Kurt Angle,
Christian Cage, Tomko, and AJ Styles. Why won't they call him
Kazarian? Great, long, match. The finish was all eight guys coming in
with one of their trademark moves, Joe poking AJ in the eyes, Cage
setting up Joe for an Unprettier until AJ nailed him blind with a kick
before Joe hit Cage with the Island Driver and pinned him. Afterwards,
The Outsiders came out to the top of the ramp and clapped for Joe. Go
out of your way to see this one.

Xplosion Matches:

-Johnny Devine d. Petey Williams. Devine won with a Double Underhook Piledriver.

-VKM & Roxxi Lavaugh d. Chris Harris, Shark Boy, and Angelina Love
(Angel Williams).
