Rasslin Viewing

TNA XPlosion

Shannone Moore vs. Jeremy Buck(w/ Max Buck): Max does some heel mic work before the match, claiming to be the family favorite. No sign of Jesse Neal...ah, Jeremy Borash says he's out of action with an injury. FLIPPIES~! The winner of this "XPlosion Championship Series" gets a title shot of his choice...if Max or Jeremy wins, would he choose a Tag Team Title shot or an X-Division Title shot? According to Borash, Moore says he would want a Heavyweight Title match...yeahhhhh, good luck with that. OH HEY, wrestling match...thanks to Max's encouragement, Jeremy works heel(ish) and targets the arm. Minor pet peeve: The point of a cross-body is to STAY ON the person and force their shoulders to the mat for a pin attempt, not just jump up and do more moves. Max tries to get involved but it backfires as the brothers collide. Mooregasm off the second rope connects and The Prince Of Punk prevails(I hate alliteration).

Your hosts are Scott Stanford, Josh Mathews, Jack Korpela, & Matt Striker.

Zack Ryder vs. Drew McIntyre: Guess that makes Zack's transition to face-dom official. Ryder goes uncharacteristically aerial with a plancha, but Drew sweeps the feet out from under him on the apron and delivers a sideslam/backbreaker into the edge of the ring! McIntyre dominates for a while but makes the mistake of going to the second rope and gets slammed to the mat. Stanford notices a "Broski" chant and Josh notices that it's a grand total of three people chanting...har. Broski Boot connects and he sets up for the Rough Ryder, but McIntyre counters into a Demon Bomb...for two. Future Shock is set up, but Drew takes too long to execute the move and Ryder double-legs him into a jackknife pin for the huge upset!

Natalya Neidhart vs. Alicia Fox: After all the diva schmozzes we've seen on the Smackdown side lately, this is one-on-one. Nattie rips out part of Alicia's weave and Alicia responds by biting OFF one of Natalya's fingernails...ow. Nattie impressively powers out of a headscissors on the mat by standing up with Alicia and ramming her upside-down into the turnbuckles. A missed knee in the corner leaves Alicia limping...discus lariatooooo gets two. Delayed vertical suplex hits...Alabama Slam attempt is escaped and Fox attempts a sunset flip, but Nattie rolls through into a Sharpshooter attempt only to be kicked away. Alicia rolls her up out of nowhere and it's our second upset in a row!

Wade Barrett vs. Don Gonzales: Think that streak of surprise endings is over. Don slaps Wade in the face and it's downhill from there...Barrett finishes with the Wasteland Slam without much trouble.

The show ends with clippage from the end of Raw, so I guess that Wade squash was the main event...go figure.

-Bound For Glory Series: "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero & Brother Devon d. Tag Team Champion James Storm & Matt Morgan; Pope BELTed Storm behind the back of the referee and his partner, but tagged in Devon to get the pin instead of getting the fall himself.
-X-Division Champion Abyss, Phil Gunner, Scott Steiner, & Bully Ray d. Sting & Kurt Angle in a handicap match; Sting was attacked backstage by Hulk Hogan and never came out for the match. Ray teased using a chain but Heavyweight Champion Ken Anderson came out and stood in Angle's corner, giving Kurt the opportunity to hit Ray with an Olympic Slam. Angle tagged in Anderson and the referee allowed it...Anderson took shots at all four members of Immortal, then teased a Mic Check on Ray before dropping it and giving the move to Angle instead. Anderson then "tagged out" to Kurt and dragged him into the ring for Ray to pin.
