Stretcher Match: Awesome Kong vs Cute Kip
Raisha Saeed and Angelina Love are at ring side. Kip locks up with her and he pushes her into the corner. Kip is splashed in the corner. Kip goes for a chokeslam, but Saeed hits Kip with a low blow. After two chair shots, Kong puts Kip’s head in a chair and hits a couple splashes. Kip is on the stretcher and he is down and out.
Mick Foley heads to the ring to talk about the match at Sacrifice. He goes over each competitor is willing to give up and talks about Jeff Jarrett’s DVD. Foley says that Jarrett will not be part of Impact tonight. He says he feels responsible for his absence. He says he has another DVD with footage from Nashville. Foley says his thoughts will be on Double J.
Jeremy Borash is with the Main Event Mafia without Kurt Angle. Scott Steiner apparently is left in charge and put on the mic. They talk about what Kevin Nash did with Jenna Morasca.
JB is with Foley in his office to try and find out what’s on the DVD. Foley takes down Jarrett’s picture. Eric Young comes in and says that his shot was a tag match and he wants an opportunity tonight. EY has a match with Samoa Joe tonight.
Chris Sabin w/ Alex Shelley vs Christopher Daniels
Sabin and Daniels lock up and Sabin powers down Daniels with a shoulder block. A few quick reverses is ended with a back breaker by Daniels. Daniels fight on the top rope and it ends with Daniels getting hit by a hesitation drop kick. Daniels kicks out of two and has Shelley rake his eyes. Sabin puts a high boot into Daniels face. Daniels counters Sabin’s jump with two knees and a huge back breaker. Daniels hits an inverted curb stomp and follows it up with and STO for a two count. Daniels goes for the Angels Wings and Shelley saves his partner by grabbing the leg. Sabin hits a springboard forearm. The two trade offensive moves as Daniels powers down Sabin and hits the BME for the win. There was a lot of action back and forth. This was a fun match to watch and could be the best of the night. 4 out of 5 stars. Continue reading

Angle says that he is going to address a rumor. He asks Foley why would he put that kind of a match free on TV and why not tell the MEM about the match?

Awesome Kong vs Velvet Sky w/ Angelina Love
Madison Rayne was in this match last week and got destroyed. I have to figure Sky is next and Angelina Love won’t be far behind. Earl Hebner sends Raisha Saeed and Angelina love to the back. Velvet Sky hits a couple forearms, but they have no effect. Kong hits a clothesline and follows it up with two Implant Busters. The crowd is chanting “One More Time” and Kong hits another Implant Buster. At six, another Implant Busters is hit and yet another. That is number four. At six again, Awesome Kong hits an Awesome Bomb. Velvet Sky doesn’t get up, so Kong gets the win. The final count is four Implant Busters and an Awesome Bomb.

My Predictions:

The Main Event Mafia defeat The Frontline. Look for either Bobby Lashley or Foley to cost the Frontline the win.
Kong hits a big choke slam and a big clothesline. Kong picks Madison Rayne after 5 and hits the Impant Buster. Kong cuts off Rudy Charles at 7 and Kong hits the Awesome Bomb. The crowd is chanting one more time, and the crowd gets their wish. Madison Rayne is out for the 10 count. Awesome Kong wins the match.
