WrestleZone.com reader Linda sent in this report from the Tueday iMPACT! tapings. The airdate for this show is next Thursday, March 20th, 2008. Sorry for the lateness.
Well, I have never done this before but I am going to try to send in what I remember from the tapings.
It started with a Welcome Home party complete with a bottle of champagne. Booker T came out and welcomed Sharmell back home to TNA. Sharmell came out and Booker told Sharmell that he would never put her in harm’s way again. Then, Jim Cornette came out and told Booker that he didn’t like how Sharmell came out and hit everyone (especially, him) with a strap at Destination X. He announced that at Lockdown, Booker T and Sharmell would face Robert Roode and Payton Banks inside Six Sides of Steel. Sharmell and Booker T were upset that she was included in the match. Booker T overturned the table with the champagne in the ring. Cornette then told him that he could take his anger out on AJ Styles who he would be facing later. They also mentioned that AJ had a seat reserved for his special guest.
Scott Steiner and Petey Williams (w/Rhaka Khan defeated Eric Young (not Super Eric) and Kaz. Scott Steiner pinned Eric Young after Black Reign and Rellik came out onto the ramp and talked to Eric to distract him.
Tomko defeated Rhino after interference from AJ Styles. Team 3D, Tomko and AJ Styles starting beating on Rhino and Christian Cage came out to help Rhino. Christian held his hand out to Rhino and Rhino shook it. Team 3D came out and helped Tomko and AJ againstChristian and Rhino. Kevin Nash came out with a chair to help Christian and Rhino. Cornette told Team 3D that they had a match tonight against Christian and Rhino.
Sonjay Dutt defeated Homicide (w/Salinas and Hernandez) in a Lockdown X-Divison Xscape qualifying match.
AJ Styles came out to the ring and announced to everyone that he had a special guest there tonight and then he brought out Karen Angle and led her over to the seat he had reserved for her to watch his match.
Booker T (w/Sharmell) defeated AJ Styles with Karen Angle watching. Robert Roode and Payton Banks come out to bother Booker T during this match.
In a TNA Knockouts tag team match, ODB and Gail Kim defeated Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. ODB pinned Angelina.
Kurt Angle put on a sparring exhibition against four different opponents. The last one was Kory Chavis.
In the main event, Christian Cage and Rhino defeated Team 3D (w/Johnny Devine). Rhino pinned Brother Ray after a Gore. AJ Styles and Tomko came out and helped Team 3D and Johnny Devine attack Christian and Rhino. Kevin Nash, the Motor City Machine Guns, Curry Man and Sharkboy came out to help Christian and Rhino. The heels laid everyone out and then, they played Sting’s
music and video. The heels fled the ring, while looking around for Sting.
In a match taped for Xplosion, Curry Man and Sharkboy defeated the Rock N Rave Infection. Curry Man pinned Jimmy Rave after the Spice Rack.
I hope this helps!
