My Impact Wrestling, 23rd August 2012 Recap


The majority of the TNA locker room came out to the ring, with Sting leading them. 'The Stinger' revealed that he'd asked security to let Aces & Eights right on through so he and the rest of the roster could exact their revenge on the gang. He also called out James Storm after it was revealed last week that he had no affiliation with the group, 'The Cowboy' said that he understood all the suspicions previously aimed at him.
Two members of Aces & Eights then came out to the ring with their hands in the air, but Kurt Angle and Storm didn't care as they beat them down. Sting asked one of them where the rest were, but the beaten doen member just told him that they were all in for a "very painful night." 
TNA Knockouts Champion Brooke Tessmacher thanked Brooke Hogan for righting the wrong from Hardcore Justice where referee Earl Henber's biased officiating caused her to loose the Knockouts title. She then went on challenge her mentor Tara as part of the Open Fight Night to see if she could beat her. Just like last week we also had Taryn Terrell referee the contest.
Tara defeated Brooke Tessmacher in a largely average bout. Fortunately Tara's efforts managed to save the quality of the match a bit, but Brooke made a few sloppy errors early on that as champ she really shouldn't be.
Robbie E defeated Rob Van Dam and AJ Styles in a Bound For Glory Series Triple Threat. It was an enjoyable enough contest, with fair displays from all involved. Although I don't quite understand the point of Robbie winning considering he hasn't got a chance of winning the series now.
Jeff Hardy beat Rob Terry in a passable match up. After interfering in a few of his matches Hardy finally found redemption against Robbie E's bouncer. It wasn't anything that memorable but better than I expected.
AJ Styles came out to find out if the unborn child of Claire Lynch was his or not. But first he apologised for the whole situation to his family and "to my fans who had to put up with this crap," It sounds like he was actually apologising for this whole awful storyline here, which wouldn't surprise me. Kazarian and Christopher Daniels then joined AJ and blamed absentee fathers and reckless men like him for the fall of their countries youth. Daniels also revealed that Claire Lynch wasn't in attendance because due to all the apparent stress caused by Styles she was in a hospital suffering from a placental disruption.
An attorney of Claire's then also joined everyone and read a statement form her client which explained how she, along with Daniels and Kazarian had attempted to blackmail Styles and that she was never in fact pregnant at all. A relieved, but understandably angry AJ then chased off both men that had been conspiring against him. I think I'm as relieved as Styles that this storyline is now finally over!  
Backstage Sting and the returning Hulk Hogan took out another member of Aces & Eights as a few other members of the gang scarpered. The fact that two men that age (and remembering that Hogan has recently had another operation) could take out much younger and stronger guys like that was ridiculous. It's ruining the image of the group. For some reason Hulk was also making some weird snarling noise as he spoke, it just sounded foolish.  
Gunner defeated Gut Check contestant Chris Louie in a terrible contest. Oh boy what to say here...oh yeah, Louie. Was. Awful. He looked slow, sloppy, inexperienced, it was like it was his first ever match in a ring. Just embarrassing. In all the VT's building up to him he was saying how hungry he was for the opportunity and how he needed money for his family, well he didn't show that here. But if TNA were to bring him in (which they won't) then at least he'd make talent like Anderson and Crimson look absolutely amazing. Expect to see it on a Botchamania very soon.
Mr. Anderson beat Bully Ray in a decent BFG Series bout. I wasn't expecting much here but both men put in good efforts and provided an exciting end with effective near falls. During the match up we witnessed more of the roster taking out a few members of Aces & Eights.
Sting once again came to the ring with a group of wrestlers and called out Aces & Eights, who duly joined them. As chaos ensued most of the fight went to the back, which eventually left Aries outnumbered as some of the gang members struck his arm against guard railing in the ring. Bully Ray rushed to his aid and chased them off. As the show finished we saw Aces & Eights leaving on their motorbikes.
