RASSLIN

TNA XPlosion

-Tommy "Crimson" Mercer d. Robbie Eckos(w/ Cookie Bayless) with the Skyhigh.

WWE Superstars.com

-Tyson Kidd(w/ Matt Striker...guess it's a parade of potential managers) d. Trent Baretta by blocking a victory roll.  More like what OWEN would have done than Bret, but I don't think we're allowed to mention him on TV these days.  On that note, Jack Korpela asked Booker T if he ever had a rivalry with an equally-matched opponent like Kidd and Trent have...you know another name was a possibility(Chris Benoit) but Booker went with Christian Cage instead.  Booker even mentioned Sherri Martel as his previous manager...obscure references~!
-The Corre(Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater) d. Jimmy & Jey Uso when Gabriel pinned Jimmy after the Fall From Grace.  The Usos worked face and looked pretty darn good in the process...the commentators played up that they had a long talk with Rikishi Phatu and the Wild Samoans.  Booker mentioned Harlem Heat in the context of brother tag teams...we'll see if this goes anywhere.
-Your Raw-brand hosts are Scott Stanford & Josh Mathews.
-Gail Kim d. Melina Perez via Eat-The-Feet.
-Tag Team Champions The New Nexus(David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty) d. Vladimir Kozlov & Santino Marella(n/t) when a cheapshot by McGillicutty set up Otunga's Verdict(spinebuster) on Kozlov for the win.  Thank you Scott Stanford for the name of Otunga's finisher so I didn't have to look it up.  :)

TNA Impact

-Tommy "Crimson" Mercer d. Matt Hardy with the Skyhigh.  Samoa Joe ran in after the match but Crimson speared him and he retreated.
-Angelina Love(w/ Winter Lea) d. Miss Brooke Tessmacher with an inverted facelock into a modified backcracker.
-T.V. Champion Eric Young d. Ken Anderson(n/t); Anderson(still in classic Sting garb) convinced Young to dress as The Great Muta for a "tribute match", but it backfired as the referee was distracted by Phil Gunner's attempted run-in and Young blinded Anderson with green mist before small-packaging him for the upset win.
-Frankie Kazarian vs. Brian Kendrick ended in a ten-minute time-limit draw.  Overtime was started but X-Division Champion Abyss attacked both men for the no-contest.
-Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner(w/ Karen Angle-Jarrett) d. Kurt Angle & Matt Morgan when Steiner pinned Morgan after a low blow and Flatliner behind the ref's back; the ref was distracted by Angle and Jarrett brawling to the stage and Karen getting involved.

Set for Slammiversary:  James Storm & Alex Shelley(subbing for the injured Robert Roode) vs. The British Invasion for the Tag Team Titles, Crimson vs. Joe, Mickie James vs. Angelina for the Women's Title, Abyss vs. Kazarian for the X Title(Kendrick may be added to make it a triple threat), A.J. Styles vs. Bully Ray in a last-man-standing match, and Morgan vs. Steiner.
