TNA Impact Review 8/6/09

The Main Event Mafia come out once again to start the show. I think this is the 3rd straight week this has happened. Kurt Angle says that last week Mick Foley allegedly won the Legends title last week. Angle says Sting caused a distraction and Bobby Lashley caused all of the damage, even though he wasn’t the legal man. He says the match is null and void. Angle says the board of directors agreed, but the outcome stands only if Foley and Kevin Nash battle at Hard Justice. Kurt Angle says he has struck a deal.

The newly found World Elite come out to join the MEM. Angle says it is an honor and a privilege to work with Eric Young. Young says his men are dedicated to the cause. He says if the fans treated them like stars, this would have never happened and the nation should feel guilty for what is going to happen. I assume this means its the World Elite and MEM vs The Frontline for the riot.

Jeremy Borash is with Foley and he says that this unholy union is all about business. He says that he is going to war because he will never forget it. Sting and Lashley walk in and Sting says “It’s Showtime.”

Lauren is with Christopher Daniels and he says shame on him. Good one dude. He says that he has taken notice of him and tells him to be a man. He says that Kiyoshi and Bashir are in there with him. The Motor City Machine Guns interrupt and talk about the fact they haven’t been on TV in a month. Daniels says if they want to get noticed they should head to the ring with him.

Eric Young vs Christopher Daniels

Daniels gets control early and hits a suicide dive on EY on the outside. Bashir and Kiyoshi take out Daniels, which earns EY a two count. Daniels catches a big boot and a back suplex, which is good for two. EY chokes Daniels on the second rope and picks Daniels up. The Fallen Angel throws a flurry of right hands, but is hit with a swinging neck breaker. After the neck breaker, EY locks in a cross face. EY misses a moonsault and catches a flurry of shots from Daniels. Daniels hits a few power bombs into a few pin attempts. Daniels goes for the BME, and catches himself. Daniels went for the Angel Wings, but Kiyoshi uses the red mist behind the ref’s back. EY hits a pile driver, leading to the pinfall victory.
