Welcome to the LIVE SPOILERS from TNA Impact shows to air Thursday January 18th and Wednesday the 24th. David Penzer promised dream matches would end each episode of Impact. Sitting ringside again were Chicago White Sox player AJ Pierzynski and strength coach Dale Torborg. Thanks to Don Harris I had a great vantage point to view the entire show. In attendance was former NWA World heavyweight champion Dory Funk Jr and members of his Funkin Conservatory.
Hour one results:
On screens we saw of Steve Borden beating down Father James Mitchell with anything not nailed to the floor before throwing him into the trunk of a car. Jeremy Borash found Team 3D running down Brother Runt over the fact he screwed his brothers out of winning on Sunday.
NWA World Tag Team champions Latin American Xchange (“Notorious 187” Homicide and Hotstuff Hernandez) defeated Team 3D (Brothers Ray and Devon)
3D came from the opposite entry way and jumped Lax before the bell. Despite the verbal warning Brother Runt came out to ringside. This caused Ray to leave ringside as LAX beat down Devon with several double team moves. Ray returned minus Runt and got to his corner to cheer Devon on. After several minutes of a beat down Devon tagged out to Ray who cleaned house all over LAX. Just as 3D was going for the Wassup Moody Jack Melendez left the announce table and distracted 3D. Devon left the ring to get Melendez but Moody was able to toss Konnan’s slapjack/sock puppet item into Hernandez who drilled Ray right in the face to retain the titles.
Jeremy Borash found Abyss tossing around items backstage in anger at Steve Borden’s attack.
Back from commercial we walked in on Jacqueline and Gail Kim fighting in a bathroom. JB talked to Christy Hemme about her actions from last night when Kip James came in with his lunch. Kip wanted to make sure Hemme wanted to be treated with respect. Kip said before you go up the ladder of success you had to go down. In ring we were joined by NWA World Heavyweight champion “Captain Charisma” Christian Cage minus Tomko. Cage said he told everyone the biggest star in TNA history would regain his title. But he doesn’t get rest because he would have to face Kurt Angle at Against All Odds. When he called Angle the biggest asshole he ever met, Angle came out to the ring and said Cage needed to watch his words without his life partner around to protect him. Cage liked Angle’s confidence but he could channel his emotions unlike Angle. Cage said to get inside Angle’s head he hired an “anger management coach” to do just that. Angle asked if it was Goldberg or Brock Lesnar but told Cage he pushed the right button and attacked the champion. We saw Steve Borden and Mitchell arrive at the former residence of Abyss where Borden wanted to know Abyss’ secret. Mitchell said before he was Abyss, Chris Marks was there for six years. Mitchell wanted to know why Sting cared about Abyss, calling Abyss a piece of shit before he ever found him. Mitchell called Abyss his meal ticket. Sting said in Abyss’ eyes he saw a person. Sting got some cuffs and locked Mitchell to the fence and said he would get the answer from Abyss.
With Borash looking on, Kurt Angle asked Jim Cornette who the “anger management coach” was. Cornette said Angle needed to get focused on his match with AJ Styles not Cage.
(2) “Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm (w/Jacqueline called Ms. Tennessee) defeated Lance Hoyt
Shockingly Hoyt got on the offensive attack at the bell but his moonsault was stopped by Storm’s second. Storm got to his feet and hit a inverted DDT. Storm went for the Bronco Buster but Hoyt moved. Storm’s second distracted Rudy Charles as Torborg got Hoyt’s attention long enough for Pierzynski to hit a chair shot to the back. This set up Storm’s superkick and the pin. Gail Kim came out and jumped Jacqueline. Storm got involved as Torborg and Hoyt fought around ringside. Petey Williams came out to protect Kim but he got hit with what looked like the 8 Second Ride.
Borash talked to Eric Young about shopping for some adult bedroom items when AJ Styles came out of his locker room. Styles said he felt Angle had been coddled his whole career.
(3) Kurt Angle defeated “Phenomenal” AJ Styles.
Styles celebrated after he avoided locking up with Angle. Angle fired in three clotheslines and kicks to Styles’ jaw. Styles raked angle’s eyes but got hit with a belly to belly suplex. As angle laid in more kicks Tomko came down to ringside. Styles missed a corner splash and Angle hit a release German suplex. Angle focused on Tomko and it allowed Styles to recover and attack Angle’s back. Tomko took a ringside seat as Styles locked in a rear chinlock. Angle fought out but got hit with an enziguri for two. Styles hit Angle with a slingshot forearm shot for two as Tomko distracted the referee. Styles got the chair Tomko used but Angle moved and Styles dropped the chair. Angle hit the Olympic Slam on the chair and got the win. Just when Tomko thought Angle left, Angle attacked him from behind. But Angle got jumped by Christian Cage. Rhino came out and ran off Cage and Tomko but everyone ran when Samoa Joe came out with a folding chair of his own. Angle and Joe exchanged words but TNA security broke them up before any violence occurred.
Cage and Tomko came back out to the ringside area. Cage asked if Angle had a clue who the “anger management coach” was after his match with Styles. Steve Borden returned to the Impact Zone and came to the ring, probably to ask Abyss the secret he has been hiding. Abyss joined Sting in the ring and the fun began. Sting wanted to know about Abyss’ past. Sting put the microphone in Abyss’ hand hoping for an answer. But Abyss gave it back to Sting. Sting tried the tough love approach but Abyss wouldn’t talk. Sting said he would go to the prison and find out everything. The fans chanted “Sting’s A Bully” as he left Abyss alone in the ring.
