Total Nonstop MACTION Report for 10/29/09

Hmm , Hulk’s in TNA and the Phillies are about to win the World Series … match made in heaven right?

The two lock up to start off, but Flash eventually applies an Arm Bar to Tara.  Tara gets up though, and goes for a waist lock. Flash counters and Irish Whips Tara into the corner but misses a charge. Tara fights back with a Tarantula, and sends Flash into the corner herself.  After some elbow shots, Tara flips into the ring and hits a leg drop on Flash for a near-fall. Tara sends Flash into the corner again, and hits her with some shoulder shots.  Flash kicks Tara in the head to counter a shoulder shot, and knocks Tara out of mid air with a clothesline for a near-fall.

Tara with some punches to Flash before Irish Whiping her onto the ropes. Tara hits back to back clotheslines, and then Snap Suplexes Flash for a near-fall. Flash counters a clothesline, and hits a Pump Handle Slam for a near-fall. Flash picks Tara up, who quickly puts Flash in a Fireman’s Carry position, and hits a Fireman Carry Side Slam for the win.

Awesome Kong’s music starts to play at the end of the match, and she runs to the ring. Tara tries to stop Kong, but is met with a big boot from Kong that sends her down to the mat hard. Kong picks Tara up, and hits Tara with an Implant Buster ONTO Flash before leaving the ring.

Rhino went to Team 3D in the locker room, trying to get them to sympathize for him. He was claiming that TNA management is trying to take him out by giving him a series of matches with not so easy opponents. Team 3D just laughed the matter off, but Rhino told them to watch his back because “… they’re all in on it.”

Devon and Shelley start off for their teams, and Devon goes after Shelley’s arm. Shelly counters though, and applies a Side Head Lock. Devon hits Shelley with a shoulder tackle to counter, and showboats to the fans for a moment. Devon tries bounce off the ropes to build momentum, but is tripped by Shelley. Shelly bounces off the ropes, and hits Devon with a spinning kick for a near-fall. Shelly sends Devon’s head into the turnbuckle before an Irish Whip attempt that Devon dodges. Devon misses a charge though, and Shelly fights back. He tries to build momentum off the ropes again, but Devon catches Shelly and hits a Snap Powerslam for a near-fall. Devon tags Ray in, and Shelly goes on to tag Sabin in. Ray starts to work on Sabin’s arm as well, but Sabin counters and tries some kicks. Ray blocks a kick, and sends Sabin down to the mat. Sabin gets up, however, and hits a Springboard Crossbody for a near-fall.  Ray hits Sabin with an Uranage for a near-fall, and Sabin’s hurt. Devon and Shelley tag in. The medical staff comes out to check on Sabin, whilst Shelley works on the legs of Devon. Devon comes back with some shots to Shelley before tagging Ray back in. Ray hits a Side Slam for a near-fall, but Shelley comes back with a Super-Kick for a near-fall of his own.  Devon tags back in, but his inverted suplex attempted gets countered by Shelley, who applies a single leg Boston Crab for the win.

Team 3D argue with the referee after the match, and a replay is shown proving that Devon never tapped out, but merely hit the mat with his hands. You would think that they would’ve played the whole thing off a little bit better … on a different matter though, maybe Rhino was right …?

Hmm, is Lashley’s feud with Joe over?

Lashley starts things off with a Back Body Drop followed by a T-Bone Suplex. Lashley misses a spear, and goes after a seemingly retreating Young. Young gets sent into the guardrails just before Steiner comes out and clotheslines Lashley from behind. Steiner starts to go after Krystal again, but Lashley tries to stop him. Young ends up sending Lashley back in the ring, but Lashley hits a Gutbuster and a Dragon Sleeper and tries to win the match. Steiner has other plans though, and hits Lashley with a chair … costing Lashley the match.

Steiner goes on to apply the Steiner Recliner on Lashley before leaving him outstretched in the ring.

Man, I would’ve loved to see Lashley as champ, then after Joe loses the World Title match at Turning Point, the two could’ve faced off for it.

Ugh, a commercial … hey! I love those little Tidy Cats!

The show continues with the World Elite in the ring. Eric Young goes on to say that he single handedly just gave Lashley his first loss as a member of TNA. Young continues and says that the Legends Title is “dead”, and that it needs a new name. He says that as long as he’s champion it’ll be called the TNA Global Title, he’ll never defend it on American soil, and that he’ll never defend it against an American. Kevin Nash stops Young from continuing anymore, and he wants his $60,000. Young says that Nash should either forget about it, or do something about it. Before Nash can do anything, Beer Money slides into the ring and levels some of the world elite with street signs.  

The match comes onto air after a commercial, and Hemme is seen in the corner getting some shoulder shots from Velvet. Hemme comes back, and hits an axe kick for a near-fall. Hemme delivers another shot to Velvet before tagging Hamada in as Velvet tags Madison in. Hamada kicks Madison hard for a near-fall. Hamada tries to climb the turnbuckle, but Velvet knocks her off as Lacey distracts the ref. Madison only gets a near-fall, but she tags Velvet back in and the hit Hamada with a double Russian Leg Sweep for a near-fall.

ODB tags in and levels all of the Beautiful People. ODB slams Velvet and tags Hemme in who misses a drop kick. Lacey tags back in and Choke Slams Hemme for the win.

And the Beautiful People doing better than ever now that Angelina’s gone. Best if wishes to her though, I hope she doesn’t get into too much trouble. Kong and Tara come out to the ring and have a little brawl until commercial.

Stevie comes out first and says that Abyss has to face the “monster” in him now because of what Abyss did to Daffney at Bound For Glory. Abyss comes out, and Stevie attacks him on the ramp. As they move toward the ring, Stevie delivers a few chops to Abyss. In the ring, Abyss with a few shots of his own before he sends Stevie back down to the ring floor.

Stevie goes for a Tornado DDT, but Abyss counters into a Shock Treatment for the win

Stevie attacks Abyss after the match, and starts to choke him with the Singapore Cane. Mick Foley comes out, and just as it looks like he was going to hit Abyss with the cane, he hits Stevie with it instead. Mick leaves the Impact Zone with both Dr. Stevie and Abyss looking confused.

Rhino starts off with some punches to Morgan, but Morgan counters with a shoulder tackle. Morgan with a splash to Rhino, but as he climbs back into the ring Rhino knocks him off and into the guardrails. Rhino gets Morgan back into the ring and starts to choke him at the ropes. Rhino follows that up with a kick to the ribs and then another choke maneuver. Rhino tries some punches, and then tries to run at Morgan. Morgan counters with an elbow to Rhino, and then hits a clothesline. Morgan hits an Indifference Drop and then goes for a choke slam. Rhino counters the move though, and hits a Belly-to-Belly suplex. Rhino goes for the Gore, but is met by a bicycle kick. Morgan gets the three count for the win.

The match was okay at points, but was one of the slower matches of the night. Rhino, in heelish fashion, goes on attacking Morgan after the match. He hits Morgan with a Gore and goes for another. Before he can though, Hernandez comes out to the ring just as Rhino flees it. Rhino tells Hernandez that in TNA, only the strong survive, and that no one was going to take him out.

Angle attacks Wolfe right off the ringing of the bell. Angle continues with some European Uppercuts before sending Wolfe into the turnbuckles. Angle goes on with some more Uppercuts and kicks in the corner. Angle goes for a German Suplex, but Wolfe counters with a couple elbow shots. Wolfe hits Angle with a European Uppercut of his own before sending Angle into the turnbuckles. Angle fights back with some punches before clotheslining Wolfe over the top rope to the floor. Angle continues the assault by throwing Wolfe’s head into the ring steps and then into the guardrails as well. Wolfe battles back, and re-enters the ring with an elbow shot to Angle. Wolfe hits another European Uppercut on Angle before slapping him in the face. Angle tries to fight back, but Wolfe applies an Arm Wringer. Wolfe misses a rebound attempt, and Angle hits the Three Rivers Suplexes. Just as Angle has built all his momentum, Wolfe hits him with a hard clothesline. Wolfe tells the ref to get out of the way, and he claims that he’s going to end Angle’s career.

And time for yet ANOTHER commercial … too bad there’s no Tidy Cats on this one.

After the commercial, you can see Angle being carried away by medical staff. Hulk Hogan’s on now, along with Eric Bischoff. Dixie Carter comes out, and for a moment, they accredit Hogan for all he’s done to the industry. Hogan says that he’s ready to take TNA to the top, and that he’s glad TNA was his first USA fed choice.

The Hulkster and Bischoff are working together? Ten years ago, TNA would’ve been called crazy to put those two together. This should be an interesting next couple of months, I can’t wait to see what all TNA puts out.

Thanks for reading everyone! See you next week!
