TNA Impact Review 8/20/09

Mike Tenay announces that Taz is the new TNA color commentator. For what seems to be the 800th time, the MEM will start the show. Kurt Angle is immediately interupted by Matt Morgan. Morgan comes out with what appears to be an axe handle. Morgan says that at Hard Justice, Angle asked for his help, but only to screw him over. Angle says that he did say all of that. Morgan asked why he interfered and if he doesn’t answer, he will start swinging. Angle says that he did say all of that and they were working together. Angle claims Morgan went into business for himself when he kicked him. Angle says he heard the ref and thought it was Morgan being pinned. Angle went to get the chair and he says he accidentally hit him instead of Sting. Morgan is absolutely livid. Angle says that they achieved what they set out to do and he will give Morgan another chance. Angle and Morgan will face Team 3D in a tables match tonight.

Morgan says Angle has lost his mind. Morgan picks up the handle and looks puzzled. Morgan says that it was obviously his fault. Morgan says he and Angle can be on the same page and thats the final blueprint for tonight’s show.

Lauren is with AJ Styles and he walks right by her.

The British Invasion vs Beer Money Inc.

TNA Lockdown Preview and Predictions

TNA Lockdown is tonight in just a few hours and I will be going to the event at Temple University with my brother, Anthony.  Below is the match line up and what we think will happen.

Dark Match: Danny Bonaduce vs. Eric Young

Pete: This is just a publicity stunt. Eric Young will try to make Bonaduce look presentable but EY comes out on top.

Ant: There is no way TNA lets Eric Young lose this match.

X-Division Title Xcape Match: Suicide © vs. Kiyoshi vs. Jay Lethal vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Consequences Creed

Pete: I think Suicide takes this one because Kiyoshi and Bashir take each other out.

Ant: I agree with Suicide winning however I think either member of Lethal Consequences can take the belt.

TNA Knockouts Queen of the Cage Match: ODB vs. Madison Rayne vs. Daffney vs. Sojo Bolt

Pete: I like Madison Rayne.

Ant: I think ODB will continue to impress.

IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title Match: The Motor City Machine Guns © vs. No Limit vs. LAX

Pete: The Guns have this one in the bag. I don’t see either team giving them much issue for a different reason.

Ant: I think LAX wins. They have the chance to now take control of almost every title in the company.

Doomsday Chamber of Blood Match: Abyss vs. Matt Morgan

Pete: I like Matt Morgan. Dr. Stevie will be involved.

Ant: I think Abyss finally gets the win he wants over Morgan.

TNA Knockouts Title Match: Awesome Kong © vs. Angelina Love vs. Taylor Wilde

Pete and Ant: KONG. There is no reason why anyone would win the belt.

Winner Takes All – TNA World Tag Team Titles vs. IWGP Tag Team Titles Philadelphia Street Fight: Beer Money © vs. Team 3D ©

Pete: Team 3D. They won’t lose in Philly.

Ant: Agreed.

Lethal Lockdown: Team Jarrett (Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett and Christopher Daniels) vs. Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Booker T and Kevin Nash)

Pete: I like Team Jarrett. They smell blood and the reversal of the decision on Impact left them with a bad taste in their mouth.

Ant: Team Angle will take this one. Jarrett is the deciding factor.

TNA World Title Match: Sting © vs. Mick Foley

Pete: I think Sting wins this match.

Ant: Foley won’t win the title because he is management.

Pete: I think though Hernandez will cash in and take the TNA title.

Jarrett comes out to the ring. AJ says that he understands Jarrett is under a lot of pressure and he wants to know if he will be fighting on AJ’s side.  Jarrett feels insulted that he asked that question.
