Live on Spike TV

 

Ken Shamrock bursts into the TNA Director of Authority's office at the start of Impact. Sitting behind his desk is Dusty Rhodes. Shamrock slams his fist on the desk which sends various light items scattering about. Shamrock shouts at Rhodes that it is unfair he has to fight for the title in a six way. Rhodes tells Shamrock he can shout all he likes, he can either accept the place in the six way or drop out and not compete for the title. Shamrock roars in anger. Rhodes tells Shamrock he has more, he will tag with Abyss in tonight's main event against Sid Vicious and the fourth competitor in the six way match, Steve Corino. Shamrock kicks over a plant as he leaves. C

 

EZ Money is backstage with Mike Sanders, promising the leader of The Fringe that he won't let him down when they face Full Blooded Italians at Christmas Feast. D

Keiji Sakoda v Ultimo Guerrero

With Japan 2-0 down in the seven match series, Sakoda was visibly feeling the pressure but a super mental attitude saw him channel this pressure positive in some excellent ring work. This trouble his Mexican opponent, and possible the member of Latin American Exchange was surprised by how well his opponent performed, given Mexico's domination of the final so far. Sakoda's performance earned him the victory he deserved and got Japan off the blocks in 7:46 by pinfall with a Roaring Elbow. C-

Mexico lead 2-1

 

Dusty Rhodes comes out to the stage following a commercial break and informs everyone that the next match between AK-47 and New Dawn will be a Feast or Fired qualifying match. D+

 

Before that match takes place, CM Punk and D'Lo Brown are having a heated argument backstage about Punk's professional and lifestyle beliefs and the WWE invasion. Security seperate the two who meet at Christmas Feast. C

 

Feast or Fired Qualifying Match

AK-47 v New Dawn

An even match with a large number of near falls and no team having a clear edge. That was until Ernest Miller and Jose Maximo made an appearance. Aries and Kash, ever cunning spotted them and distracted Mickey Jay long enough for Miller and Maximo to take out New Dawn. This allowed AK-47 to qualify for Feast or Fired in 9:13 when Austin Aries defeated Jimmy Rave by pinfall with a Brainbuster. C-

 

Backstage and Ken Shamrock and Sid Vicious are arguing, Shamrock still adamant he should have the title shot at Christmas Feast. Sid tells Shamrock to shut up and that he has had more chances than anyone of late. C-

 

Dusty Rhodes is back in his office, and he adds a stipulation to another match. This time it is to the X Division Championship match at Christmas Feast between champion Evan Karagias and former champion Christopher Daniels. Rhodes makes it a ladder match. C-

TNA TV TITLE

Doug Williams v Jimmy Hart's WWE Invader

With Williams in the ring, Jimmy Hart comes out to the WWE Invaders music.

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/63gdZAsl62E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That then cuts out and Hart introduces Doug Williams opponent for tonight...

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/shHt-RKwpx4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

Everybody is shocked as Jimmy Hart rolls out his new star from WWE. Miz takes it to Williams and nearly scores the fall quickly as Williams has to quickly come to terms with his unexpected opponent. Once he did manage to do so though, Williams got the better of Miz and managed to successfully defend in 6:55 by pinfall with a Revolution DDT. Doug Williams makes defence number 12 of his TNA TV title. Williams then tells Hart to bring whomever he wants, he can beat anyone from WWE. C

 

Harley Race is backstage with Abyss in some dark corner of the stadium. Both are venting their anger at Abyss having to defend in a six way match. Race is doing it verbally while Abyss is hurling security railings around. C

 

In a different dark corner of the stadium, Vampiro has some weird voodoo style magic going on. He predicts a great future for himself, starting when he claims the World Championship briefcase in Feast or Fired. C-

 

AJ Styles v Teddy Hart (with Jimmy Hart)

Despite a lack of psychology on show, this was the best match of the night so far. Jimmy Hart's WWE Invaders downturn continues though as Hart succumbed to a resilient Styles who won the match in 13:36 by pinfall with a Styles Clash. C+

 

Jeff Jarrett hypes his rematch with CM Punk which will happen on the next edition of Explosion. C

 

Dusty Rhodes is seen in his office again, this time he has the Tag Team Champions with him, Bumders. He asks if they had to get so excited before they came in as they have the Tag Team Championship belts hanging off their dicks. Buff says they didn't, they just have the biggest dicks in wrestling. Rhodes says they have whoppers. He then tells them he has assessed all the tag teams in TNA and has decided on their opponents at Christmas Feast... Latin American Exchange. Monty Brown isn't bothered, he simply says that now that is out of the way, they should feast on each other's dicks. The two leave with a glint in their eye. C-

 

Abyss (World Champion, with Harley Race) & Ken Shamrock v Sid Vicious & Steve Corino

A crazy match to an extent where Shamrock seemed intend on hurting everyone that came near him, including Race, Abyss and referee Patrick Hernandez. Harley Race eventually managed to calm him down a little. By this time, Sid and Corino had managed to work over the World Champion well with some slick team work. Shamrock got the tag in and resumed his rampage, this time more channelled and the fire under his bonnet brought him the victory in 18:43 when Ken Shamrock defeated Steve Corino by submission with an Ankle Lock. He celebrated by staring down Abyss holding the World Championship belt as Impact went off air. C

Impact Preview

 

Ken Shamrock has been vocal about his perceived lack of proper World Championship opportunity. On Impact he had the chance to vent his frustrations and did so in the main event. Will his rampage continue?

The Miz failed as Jimmy Hart's surprise challenger to Doug Williams' TV Title. This week, Jimmy Hart has promised another challenger for Williams. Who could it be this time?

Who else will be revealed in the Feast or Fired match?

 

Spike TV is where to find out.

I really like this gimmick of Doug Williams vs. one of Jimmy Hart's Invaders. Sadly I know this will probably spell the end to Doug's run as champion.

Live on Spike TV

 

Backstage and Harley Race and Abyss are saying that if Abyss has to destroy five men to keep his belt then that is exactly what he will do. Ken Shamrock comes by, reminds them who won the tag team match on Impact last week and warns him that Shamrock is after one thing this Christmas, the World Championship. C

 

A video plays hyping Christopher Daniels vs. Evan Karagias and recaps their first match when Karagias won the title. C-

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTD6BvKQNxhNhjFkB_IaUibGIvMjs8BzaR5wRLr9Q5BhLFvfNt9 2

Dick Togo v Hernandez

Hernandez largely dominated a match that was rather unspiring and left Mexico one match from winning the first TNA Nations Cup, taking the match in 5:44 by pinfall with a Megabomb. D

Mexico lead seven match series 3-1

 

Dusty Rhodes has America's Most Wanted in his office. He tells them they have all the potential in the world to go a long way, but more immediately he wants them to tag with AJ Styles and face AK-47 and Jeff Jarrett in tonight's main event. AMW are all for it. B-

 

Bryan Danielson speaks from the ring, talking himself up and asking Masato Tanaka where the hell he is... missing from Nations Cup action and not responsive regarding their Christmas Feast match. C

 

Ernest Miller, Jose Maximo (with So Cal Val), EZ Money & Mike Sanders v Full Blooded Italians & New Dawn

A wild match as four teams who will meet at Christmas Feast had a taster of what was in store for each other. Mickey Jay had his hands full as the eight men fought in and around the ring. With two men left in the ring, the match reached it's end in 8:06 when EZ Money defeated Little Guido by pinfall with a Money Clip. C

 

CM Punk cuts a promo on Jeff Jarrett saying despite all of Jarrett's protests, he still thinks he is the man behind Jimmy Hart's WWE Invasion. He doesn't have hard proof... but he finds it very strange that Jarrett is standing by and letting them arrive one by one rather than stand and fight for the company he founded. Jarrett walks by and tells Punk maybe there is a reason he is standing by... and not because he wants them in TNA. Jarrett walks off. C+

 

Jimmy Hart and Teddy Hart are backstage. Both talk how Teddy Hart is going into Feast or Fired and will walk out with the World Championship briefcase. C+

 

Roderick Strong v The Amazing Red

Some good action and quite an upset as Red lost to Strong. However, the victory wasn't clean as Red was attacked during the match by Ultimo Guerrero, which led to Strong's win in 10:31 by submission with a Stronghold. C-

 

Mr Wrestling IV is backstage and does something most men wouldn't dream of doing... challenge the monster Abyss. He wants the match this week on Explosion for the title. C+

 

Sid Vicious tells Ken Shamrock to shut the hell up and worry about everybody else in the six way at Christmas Feast... and Sid says he is fed up of Shamrock's whining about how he should have the chance to be World Champion... he has had more than enough chances. C

 

AJ Styles & America's Most Wanted v Jeff Jarrett & AK-47

A high quality match that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Six of the ten men in Feast or Fired featured and fans will be anticipating that match with eagerness following this. Back and forth action led to a victory for AJ & AMW in 13:10 when AJ Styles defeated Kid Kash by pinfall with a Styles Clash. B-

 

D'Lo Brown has words for CM Punk, he tells him that he should not worry about Jeff Jarrett and his supposedly being the man behind the WWE Invaders, more that he should worry about the WWE Invaders themselves as they are taking over. C

 

Backstage and the Bumders are strutting their stuff with their Tag Team Championship belts hanging on their dicks. Jorge Estrada walks by and tells them he is not bothered whether they **** each other, women, children or animals, all he is bothered about is winning the Nations Cup and the Tag Team Championship. Estrada leaves and Buff says he needs to lighten up. C+

TNA TV TITLE

Doug Williams v Jimmy Hart's WWE Invader

Jimmy Hart comes out to the ring and tells everybody, especially Doug Williams, will be shocked at who his Invader is tonight that will take the TV Title from Williams...

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pGIuFu_kGPY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

TNA is shocked as one of their own comes out to challenge Doug Williams. Lynn hugs Hart as the bell rings.

Lynn's defection and heel turn was a complete success... but unfortunately the match wasn't, as the main event was completely overshadowed by the far superior six man tag that went before it. Once again, Williams was initially thrown off his game but settled down and pulled off what some might say was a surprise victory in 14:38 by pinfall with a Chaos Theory. Doug Williams makes defence number 13 of his TNA TV title. C-

Feast or Fired Qualifier

Brits Abroad v Middle Eastern Nightmare

A tepid opening contest not helped by a poor performance from Shawn Daivari which allowed the Brits to take this bout with some comfort and qualify for Feast or Fired. Their qualification came in in 6:08 when Desmond Wolfe defeated Shawn Daivari by pinfall with a Guvnor's Crumpet. D

Dick Togo, Keiji Sakoda, Masato Tanaka & NOSAWA v Latin American Exchange (Hernandez, Jorge Estrada, Rey Bucanero & Ultimo Guerrero)

Mexico's teamwork was slick and they outmaneouvred their Japanese opponents who greatly miss their star turn Satoshi Kojima who left TNA a few weeks back. Hence, Mexico sealed the series and claimed the inaugral TNA Nations Cup in 6:48 when Hernandez defeated Masato Tanaka by pinfall with a Border Toss. D+

TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Evan Karagias (champion) v Mike Sanders

The show takes a huge upturn with an entertaining match between two of the X Division's finest. Sanders is still looking for the first championship for The Fringe but yet again they didn't quite achieve as Karagias edged a close match in 11:13 by pinfall with a Tidal Wave. Evan Karagias makes defence number 1 of his TNA X Division title. The fans finally had something worth cheering for. C+

 

CM Punk responds to Jeff Jarrett earlier, saying Jarrett cannot be trusted and he has shown this throughout his past. C

 

CM Punk's New Dawn (AJ Styles, Caprice Coleman, Jimmy Rave & The Amazing Red) v Jimmy Hart's WWE Invaders (D'Lo Brown, Jerry Lynn, Teddy Hart & The Miz)

A hugely entertaining match that saw no let up in the fast paced action and only Rave not reaching the standards of the others. Even Miz, fairly new to the business, performed admirably. Both teams came close to winning the match and in the end it was the WWE Invaders who managed to stop their recent rot and perhaps start their momentum rising again when they took the bout in 9:52 when Jerry Lynn defeated Caprice Coleman by pinfall with a Cradle Piledriver.

Bumders (champions) v Double X (with Francine)

Another good title match and one where Double X threatened Bumders' titles more than a lot of people thought they would do. Bumders came through though in 12:49 when Buff 'The Puff' Bagwell defeated Rocky Romero by pinfall with a Buff Blockbuster. Bumders make defence number 3 of their NWA TNA World Tag Team titles. Bumders celebrated by giving themselves erections, hanging their belts on their ****s and throwing the arms up in the air. C+

NWA TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Abyss (champion, with Harley Race) v Mr Wrestling IV

Despite both of them wearing masks, they are two completely contrasting wrestlers. Which made for an intriguing match. And one which the champion won despite dogged determination and a lot of technical ability from his opponent. Abyss' victory came in 17:55 by pinfall with The Black Hole. Abyss makes defence number 7 of his NWA TNA World Heavyweight title. C+

CM Punk v Jeff Jarrett

Punk managed to even the score against Jarrett in a very good main event that ultimately proved nothing. Jarrett did not to anything to quell suspicions he is behind the WWE Invaders while Punk did not get Jarrett to spill, nor beat anything out of him. The lenghty, technically sound match came to an end in 24:25 with Punk's victory coming by pinfall with a Pepsi Plunge. C+

 

Show rating: C

The show can be considered a success and should increase TNA's popularity.

A number of angles did not reach the standard of the ring action.
