TNA IMPACT *Spoilers* 5th of May 2011

*Douglas Williams pinned "Sterling" James Keenan in a dark match.


*Jesse Neal, wearing his Navy uniform, comes to the ring and leads the entire Arena and the roster in the national anthem.

Impact:
*Immortal come down to the ring. Sting and Rob Van Dam come to the ring and there's a huge brawl. Its broken up. Fortune hits the ring and says things are going to change next week.

*Mexican America have a Cinco Del Mayo celebration. They invite the Spanish announce team to celebrate with them but then beat down Willie Urbina for not being Mexican. Ink, Inc. make the save.

*Bully Ray and Gunner took on AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Tommy Dreamer hit the ring to save Styles from Bully, only to turn on him and nail him with a piledriver. Yes, they turned Dreamer heel.

*The Jarretts call out Velvet Sky. They go back and forth, Winter and Angelina come out. Kurt Angle comes out. In the end of this they set up a mixed tag.

*Rob Terry pinned Murphy.

*TNA Knockouts champion Mickie James pinned Miss Tessmacher to retain the TNA Knockout Women's Championship. Madison Rayne challenges her to a title match at Sacrifice.

*Sangrieto (a masked Amazing Red) pinned Suicide.
*Kurt Angle & Velvet Sky defeat Jeff Jarrett, Angelina Love & Winter. Angle says he will reveal his mistress next week.

I like that they had Jesse Neal lead everyone in the national anthem. Nice touch by TNA.

In the dark match, I haven't heard the name Sterling James Keenan for a long time. I didn't realise he was still wrestling.

Tommy Dreamer heel is always strange to see, he is a natural face.

I just can't believe that Angle vs Jarrett feud is still going. I have read the spoiler for who the mistress is and no-one could ever guess how bad it is.

No matches really interest me except for Sangrieto vs. Suicide.

What do you think of the show?

I actually enjoyed Velvet Sky alot in this episode. Out of all of them she really impressed me the most. Dreamer turning heel to me just means they have nothing to do with him and so to get him time he has to make a bad career move. Little to no hype for the TNA Title match at Sacrifice which really bothers me. I mean shouldn't that be what you are trying to sell the most. TNA has its priorities seriously screwed up and I'm afraid it is way too late for them now. And yes the mistress "angle" will indeed make me want to put my head through a wall.

It was recently reported that because TNA PPVs don't get huge buyrates they are going to focus less on promoting the PPVs until one or two weeks before the show. Backwards thinking but apparently they would rating increase Impact ratings than draw more PPV buys.
