Impact Wrestling *Spoilers* 19th May

Impact:


*Impact opens with an Immortal promo saying Hulk Hogan and Mick Foley are in New York City meeting with the Network and Immortal is in charge tonight. Brian Kendrick leads a group of X-Division wrestlers out to interrupt. Eric Bischoff books them into matches, then Immortal attacks them and lays them out. Fortune hits the ring for the save and there is a huge brawl.

*TNA Knockouts champion Mickie James & Tara & Miss Tessmacher defeated Sarita & Rosita & Madison Rayne when Tara pinned Rosita with a sitdown powerbomb.

*Abyss defeated Kazarian to win the X-Division championship.

*Samoa Joe defeated The Amazing Red in about a minute. He keeps trashing Red and Crimson makes the save.

*Tommy Dreamer and AJ Styles, wearing a neck brace, go back and forth in the ring. It leads to Dreamer laying out Styles. Christopher Daniels makes the save and they brawl. Bully Ray attacks Styles in the ring. Dreamer ends up on top of Styles, beating the hell out of him. Styles is helped out.

*Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett go back and forth to set up a match at Slammiversary where the winner will be the new number one contender for the TNA title. Angle says that after Sacrifice, Karen is gone. Jeff adds a stipulation that if he beats Jarrett, he gets Kurt's gold medals. Karen comes out in a wheelchair but Velvet Sky shows up and shoves her down the ramp.

*Matt Hardy and Eric Bishoff defeated Generation Me. Bischoff scored the pin.

*Velvet Sky defeated Angelina Love and Winter with a rollup on Love. After the match, ODB returned and laid out Sky.
*There is a back and forth segment with Ric Flair and Robert Roode. It ends up with Immortal attacking Roode and injuring his shoulder as revenge for Flair being hurt at Lockdown.

Kendrick leading the X-Division wrestlers? Doing things like this hurt the division more than help in my view.

Abyss winning the X-Division championship...... I guess Impact Wrestling now wants X-Division to be about No Limits rather than weight limits again. I preferred the X-Division when it was all about No Limits but it will take a bit of time to change the view that it isn't just a crusierweight title.

Joe beats Red in a minute, shame. Crimson vs Joe could be interesting but, as strange as it sounds, it might be a step down for Crimson after he feuded with Abyss.

Styles wrestling in a neck brace? I hope this isn't another injury angle for Styles since he just had one when Bully Ray put him through a table.

......I just read the section about Jarrett and Angle. I can't believe this is still going and it gets dumber and dumber. IMPACT Wrestling is meant to be about WRESTLING so book Jarrett and Angle as two guys who think they are better than each other and they just WRESTLE for the number one contendership. Stop booking these stupid angles to go along with the matches when you want to be about WRESTLING.

Eric Bischoff teamed with Matt Hardy and got the pin? I thought this show was about WRESTLING.

Roode injury angle as well as Styles?

When you come out and say that Wrestling Matters Here and then you book this crap you deserve to be ridiculed. This show shows that TNA don't care about wrestling and that so far they have no intention of changing their ways.

Your thoughts on Impact Wrestling?

Non wrestlers should stay non wrestlers. Goes for JR and Cole and should go for Karen and Bischoff.

Seems like the same old garbage.

This my only reason to watch Impact these days.

 

[Lucky]

The fact that Abyss is the new X-Division champion is HILARIOUS.

No Anderson or Sting or RVD. WTF. Screw this. I won't be watching since they don't even care about championships much less wrestling. So tired of the same three storylines week in and week out. *rage*

Holy crap I didn't even notice that Anderson, Sting and RVD weren't on the show. That is crazy since they are the maineventers at the moment and TNA have already booked their mainevent of the next PPV Anderson vs. Sting for the title yet they don't build to it.
