Impact Wrestling Taping Results (For 11/24 IMPACT)

[AZUCAR!]

In a Dark Match, Austin Aries defeated Alex Silva

Before the Thanksgiving taping started, they retaped the AJ Styles/James Storm promo that will air on November 17th.

Match Number One: Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions Matt Morgan and Crimson defeated Mexican America to retain the Tag Titles when Crimson pinned Anarquia.

Karen Jarrett comes out for a promo with Gail Kim, Madison Rayne, and Traci Brooks. Karen then calls out the other Knockouts and sets up a Lingerie match later in the night.

Kurt Angle came out to the ring to talk about James Storm. He ran down Storm until Storm came to the ring to confront Angle. They exchanged words and Storm wanted to fight Angle right now. Angle said there were others who wanted to fight Storm.

Jeff Jarrett, Bully Ray, and Christopher Daniels came down to the ring and surrounded Storm. Storm said that the message Angle wanted Storm to tell his daughter last night about how Kurt was the one to give her father a concussion. Storm said he told her that and that she wanted him to respond to Angle and Storm hit Angle.

Jarrett, Ray, and Daniels join Angle to attack Storm until A.J. Styles, Ken Anderson, and Rob Van Dam come to the ring to help Storm. Security had to separate everyone. When Storm was being taken up the ramp, Impact Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode came out. Storm got in a cheap shot on Roode, laying him out.

Match Number Two: Velvet Sky, Brooke Tessmacher, and Tara defeated Madison Rayne, Winter, and Angelina Love in a lingerie match. All six came out in their own variations of lingerie and posed before the match began. Mickie James, who appeared to be injured, came out and prevented Madison from cheating. Velvet pinned Madison.

They go backstage to Robbie E, Rob Terry, Eric Young, and former TNA referee Rudy Charles. Charles was holding a turkey suit. Robbie E was saying that Young would never get another shot at the TV title. They talked some more and set up a match later tonight where the loser had to wear the turkey suit.

Jeff Hardy's music hit and he walked to the ring covered up in a hoodie and wearing a mask. He unmasked and it turned out that it was Jeff Jarrett posing as Hardy. Jarrett ran down Hardy and the fans until Hardy came out and attacked Jarrett. Christopher Daniels and Bully Ray ran out and attacked Hardy. AJ Styles, Ken Anderson, and Rob Van Dam came out to fight them off. Jeff Hardy had to be helped to the back.

Match Number Three: Eric Young defeated Robbie E (with Robbie T) with a piledriver. Robbie E used a weapon during the match to pin Young, but referee Rudy Charles found out that Robbie cheated and the match was restarted. After the match, Young took the mic and said that because Robbie E appears to be knocked out, they need to find someone else to have the turkey suit put on. The suit was put on Robbie T and then he chased Young to the back.

Match Number Four: AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Ken Anderson, and Rob Van Dam (with James Storm) defeated Bobby Roode, Jeff Jarrett, Christopher Daniels, and Bully Ray (with Kurt Angle) in an elimination match. Styles and Hardy were the survivors in this match. The match started off three on three with Roode doing commentary with Taz and Mike Tenay and Hardy did not come to the ring at the start of the match as a result of the earlier attack. Anderson was eliminated first and then Roode came to the ring and connected with a low blow to eliminate himself. Daniels eliminated Van Dam with a roll up and a handful of tights. This left A.J. Styles alone to face Daniels, Jarrett, and Ray. Hardy's music hit and he made his way down to the ring and eliminated both Daniels and Jarrett. While this was happening, Angle and Storm brawled to the back. Styles got the final elimination pinning Ray. Roode came out after the match and laid out both Hardy and Styles and shouted in AJ's face before leaving.

In a match for Xplosion, Kazarian defeated Magnus with a rollup.

This looks like yet another great episode.

Lingerie match, man its been a while

Kinda glad Mickie wasn't devalued in the lingerie match, but on the other hand would loved to have seen it. Will probs give this a watch.

 

[PHX]

Pretty much wanted to see Mickie in that match myself personally. But anyways actually like how this show looks. Looks like one of the better ones on paper in a minute.

 

[Troy]

I like how they kept the real wrestlers, Gail and Mickie, out of the lingerie match. Smart but subtle move by them.

I see that the mainevent is like the old school traditional SS elimination match up, interesting timing since it airs the week after SS. Should be an excellent match though when looking at who is involved.

 

[Chriss]

This is goin to be a hell of a show!

Austin Aries in a dark match and not on the main show (N)

Not sure if they were just pissed about wrestling in lingerie, or whether or not the match was a travesty.

[Crippler]

seems like both

 

[Deuce]

The thing is, I want to see Austin Aries in the show not in a dark match. I always enjoy watching the guy wrestle and it's disappointing to know he is gonna be there but won't be on the air show. Glad to see he got the win though.

Is it just me or has the quality of Impact been going up little by little since they took Hogan off of TV and put the belt on younger talent. (i.e. Storm and Roode). I really like how they are building up Heel Roode. Making him look cowardly, yet smart, and a serious opponent. Not something that is done easily. Am loving the Storm/Angle feud. Can't wait til James is able to compete as if both men are healthy that will be a great match. Lingerie match, it will be a nice change of pace though i still don't expect many to watch it for more then a few seconds. Lastly, I enjoy the idea of the Main Event. I hate Hardy and RVD with a passion but they can perform. If they do it here this will be a great match. As I said I am suddenly starting to get excited for TNA again. I doubt it will last long but I can hope right.

Looks like TNA is already talking to OVW talent. Alex Silva is under contract with OVW.
