Reader Anthony Chowanec sent in the following report:
I just got back from the TNA Impact taping for this coming Thursday.
Kaz def. Some Clown (literately he was billed at the rodeo clown) in a pick dark match. The jobber actually got a chant of “letâs go jobber.”
Robert Roode def. Jay Lethal in a non-title match. I think this match was taped for Xplosion or TNA Today.
LAX and Motor City Machineguns def Rock and Rave Infection, Black Reign and Rellik.
TNA Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Tomko vs. Christian Cage & Rhino went to a no contest. Rhino speared the ref then everything went haywire from there.
Shark Boy def Elix Skipper in an Xscape Match qualifier
Traci Brooks def Payton Banks, I am pretty sure that was the outcome. I am not positive though
Kurt Angle cut a promo that was interrupted by Scott Steiner. Steiner said he is cashing in on his world title shot after the angle vs. Samoa Joe match at lockdown.
TNA was giving backstage passes away to loud people again. Though they did not give away as many as they said they would. They also threw out some shirts and DVDs to the crowd.
I was also at the live taping but got turned away. TNA let the wrestlers have a ridiculous 700 person guest list and the place only holds 1000 people. The people who did not get were able to put their names down for the VIP list for one of the tapings they did the next two days.
Sting def James Storm with Matt Morgan as special guest ref. Morgan then took his referee shirt off after a brawl between team cage and team Tomko to reveal that he is the 5th member of team cage.
