Last week on Impact:

Match #1 Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt defeated Jeff Hardy and Chris Sabin

Abyss attacked Hardy during the match, which left Sabin in a handicapped situation. Tenay was given an envelope from Dusty that said Hardy vs. Abyss at Against All Odds will be a “Full Metal Mayhem Match.” Where Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Chains and anything metal is allowed.

Match #2 Chris Candido defeated Sonny Siaki

After the match, Dusty talked with Traci and Trinity about the tag team they would be bringing in.

Match #3 “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown defeated Johnny Devine w/Coach D’Amore

Team Canada tried to cost Monty the match, but he fought them off. After the match, Scott Hall attacked Monty, and team Canada joined in. Hall and Bobby Rude seemed to work together mostly, and an alliance seems to have formed.

Clips of Jarrett in South Korea defending the NWA title, which is the 4th Continent Jarrett has defended the title on.

Jarrett promo followed in ring, and as he put over the title match with Nash, the fans almost boo’d him out of the building.

Shane Douglas Interviewed AJ Styles. AJ said he would retain the title against Daniels in the 30-Minute Iron Man Match.

Jeff Hammond joins Tenay and West for commentary and “scouting.”

Match #5 Kazarian, Michael Shane and Elix Skipper defeated the 3LK (James, Konnan and Killings)

Today on Impact:

Shark Boy vs. former X-Division Champion Petey Williams

AJ Styles © vs. Brad Quartermain

David Young vs. Jeff Hardy

Abyss vs. Lex Lovett

And our Main Event – The Naturals vs. DDP & Monty Brown

We begin with clips of Abyss attacking Hardy and putting him through a table to hype the “Full Metal Mayhem” Match at Against All Odds.

TNA Impact Starts…NOW!:

Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us to Universal Studios and TNA IMPACT! Christopher Daniels is there, as he is “God’s gift to the announcing table.” Daniels says he will prove that he is superior to AJ Styles and the WHOLE X Division at Against All Odds.

Match #1 Shark Boy vs. Petey Williams w/Coach D’Amore

Williams and D’Amore are wearing the sweet Team Canada baseball jerseys. Daniels says Williams was a coward as X Champion, because he never faced him.

Lock up to start and Sharky with a headlock. Reversal by Williams and Sharky escapes, another counter and a shoulder block by Sharky. Drop kick by Sharky, and Williams slaps the taste out of his mouth. Knee/face buster by Sharky, but Williams snatches him up and places him in the tree of woe. Nut stomp by Williams now, but Sharky dumps him to the floor. Cross body to the floor by Sharky and then rolls him back in. Corner mount with punches, and then a sunset flip for Sharky gets 2. Tilt a whirl into a Russian leg sweep by Williams and he has control stomping away on Sharky. Suplex by Williams, rolls through and picks Sharky up and places him on top. Tree of woe again, Nut stomp again! D’Amore chokes out Sharky now, as Williams distracts the ref. Williams on the 2nd rope, has Sharky…but he fights out. Sharky up top…RANA OFF THE TOP! Clothesline to Williams, another and Sharky up top…Missile Dropkick to Williams gets 2! Corner mount and punches by Sharky…SHARK BITE! Side back breaker by Williams, signals for the end…reversal by Sharky…neck breaker for 2! Sharky tries the Deep Sea Driver…shoved off…turns and…CANADIAN DESTROYER finishes Sharky @ 5:58.

Nice opener here. Sharky is a fun talent that is solid in the ring, and can always help the crowd get off their hands. Very solid match that flowed well, and gets Williams back on the winning track.

Commercial time.

We are back with Reilly thanking Dustin as Raven comes in. Raven says Dustin was lost in the shuffle, then says something about his scrotum, which is way too much info for me. Dustin spouts off some gibberish (seriously, hard to understand) then says to imagine his foot up Raven’s ass at Against All Odds. Raven leaves and Dustin tells Reilly to always watch his back.

Match #2 AJ Styles © vs. Brad Quartermain

Daniels says he will beat AJ Styles down for 30-minutes.

Lock up, and a back suplex by Quartermain. Headlock by AJ, Quartermain up and misses a left hand and AJ off the ropes…scoop slam. High knee drop to Quartermain then off the ropes and a clothesline. AJ jaws at Daniels and Quartermain nails AJ to the floor. Slam by Quartermain to AJ on the floor, and then rolls him back in. Knee to the back of AJ, and then a knee drop. Awkward roll up by Quartermain for 2. Quartermain to the 2nd rope…MISSES a leg drop. Boot by AJ, and then a back elbow. Clotheslines to Quartermain, AJ goes to the apron and then hits a springboard forearm shot by AJ! Sets for the end…STYLES CLASH finishes Quartermain @ 3:34.

Daniels jaws at AJ from the announce table, and AJ has the mic. AJ says Daniels doubts him, so what is stopping him from getting in the ring right now? Daniels says AJ is spoiled by TNA’s special treatment. Daniels has waited 3-years for his shot, and he will make AJ wait until the PPV to get his hands on him. AJ says he has never ducked anyone is this business.

Nothing special here, not good or bad; it was just there. It was really more of a backdrop to feed the Styles vs. Daniels feud.

Video package for the new man, Titus (Former Redshirt Security Ryan Wilson.)

Commercial time.

Hey, a new Kid Kash shirt, I think I know what to get Cook for his Birthday!

We are back as Dusty compliments Traci and Trinity on their tag team finds. He says they are “bad to the bone babay!” They try to snuggle up to Dusty, and he says these 2 teams will face off on the PPV pre-show. Dusty can’t wait until the PPV.

Match #3 David Young vs. Jeff Hardy

Young attacks Jeff as he tries to play to the fans. Right hands to Jeff, but he battles back. Tenay tells us that in the Full Metal Mayhem match, there will be 2 envelopes hanging above the ring. To win, you have to get one of these envelopes. One is empty, and the other contains an NWA Title shot. Whisper in the wind Moonsault by Jeff, then the nizzie leg drop. Right hands to Young, but he battles back with a stiff clothesline on Jeff. Off the ropes, and a sweet drop kick to Jeff gets Young 2. He chokes out Jeff now, and then rakes his eyes. Basement dropkick to Jeff gets 2. Young chokes out Jeff in the corner now, and then picks him up. Head butts to Jeff, and a right hands levels Jeff.

Snap mare, and another rear chin lock to Jeff. Escape again, and he eats a back elbow. Young has him again, snap suplex for 2. Young is frustrated, and Jeff with right hands again to fight him off. Boots by Jeff, and then Young to the turnbuckle. Hard Irish whip by Jeff, but Young fights back again. Slam to Jeff, and Young goes up top. MISSES a Moonsault! Both men get to their feet, Jeff with right hands and a flying forearm shot. Rights and lefts to Young who is on the mat. Another hard Irish whip to Young. Jeff grabs a chair and tosses it is. Poetry in motion off the chair to Young. Flat liner to Young, and Jeff up top…SWANTON and that is all @ 6:03.

Abyss is here! Jeff spring off the chair and hits a cross body to Abyss on the floor! The battle in the crowd now, and Jeff tosses Abyss into the wall. They battle to the back and we go to commercial.

Competitive little match here. It looks like they may be rebuilding Young , which isn’t all that bad an idea. The tension with Abyss is building nicely as the attacks week in and out really fuel the feud.

Commercial time.

We are back with Kazarian and Shane talking to Young. They have an idea for him to wrestle Jeff Hammond, that way he will be assured a win. They say NASCAR stands for Non-Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks! GOLD! The 3LK is here, and they say Hammond isn’t a joke. Konnan has his eyes on them, and Killings says they will take an ass whippin. Next week, Hammond vs. David Young

Match #4 Abyss vs. Lex Lovett

You may remember Lex Lovett from such squash matches as the Jarrett squash, as well as the Monty Brown squash.

Abyss attacks right away and levels Lovett. Corner splash to Lovett, and then the SHOCK TREATMENT! Lovett off the ropes…BLACK HOLE SLAM and that is all she wrote @ 0:52.

Abyss goes for a table, and Lovett is in for more. He slides it in the ring and sets it up. Lovett tries to escape, but Abyss has him. Here is Hardy, but a big boot by Abyss. He has Hardy and tries a press slam…but Hardy counters into a DDT THROUGH THE TABLE!

Squash for Abyss, and as the last match, this was all to build the PPV match.

Commercial time.

We are back with Tenay and West. They put over Brown and DDP as a team, and then the Against All Odds PPV. In the back with Shane Douglas and he is with Nash getting a massage. Shane says Nash is in great shape. JJ comes in and MISSES an EL KABONG and we fade to commercial.

We are back and it’s MAIN EVENT TIME!

Match #5 The Naturals (Douglas and Stevens) vs. DDP & Monty Brown

The Naturals attack at the bell and choke out DDP and Brown. Brown fights back and tosses Stevens and DDP with a clothesline to Douglas. DDP whips Douglas and Brown backdrops him to the floor as we go to commercial @ 1:06.

Back from commercial @ 3:40 and DDP is in control. Stevens nails DDP as he hits the ropes and Douglas takes him down and covers for 2. Douglas tries another pin and DDP keeps fighting. Clothesline to DDP, then a tag to Stevens. He chokes out DDP, and then nails him with right hands. Double team in the corner by the Naturals and Douglas is tagged back in. Douglas rubs DDP’s face in the mat, and as the ref reprimands him Stevens chokes out DDP. DDP fights them off and tries for a tag, but is taken down. Waist lock by Stevens, and DDP tries to inch towards the corner for a tag. Stevens beats him down, and covers for 2. DDP tries again, but a knee by Stevens takes him down. Tenay says added to the PPV is Brown and DDP vs. Bobby Rude and Scott Hall as well as Petey Williams vs. Elix Skipper. Back to action as Stevens chokes out DDP and Brown comes in, but is sent back to his corner. Stevens still choking DDP out, but DDP fights back with right hands but Stevens tags Douglas. Douglas rakes DDP’s face and follows with a boot to the gut. Tag to Stevens and a boot to DDP as Stevens holds him. Front face lock by Stevens, but DDP picks him up and fights to the corner. Douglas is and pulls him back so he can’t make the tag. DDP with another effort to get to Brown and suplexes Stevens into Douglas! TAG to MONTY! Right hands to both Naturals, then a butterfly suplex. Press slam on Douglas, catches him and power slams him down. POOOOOOOUNCE TO STEVENS! DIAMOND CUTTER to Douglas and that is it @ 10:26.

Match was kind of slow, but not bad. Good work to get Monty and DDP some team work with the only bad thing being the continued mis-use (in my opinion) of the Naturals.

Nash backstage, in a towel and looking pissed enters Jarrett’s locker room as we fade to black.

Final Impact Thoughts: This wasn’t a great wrestling show. What I mean by that is that everything was very angle driven for the PPV. That isn’t a bad thing, as Petey vs. Sharky was good and the rest was fine. They are doing a superb job of building their PPV, and that is really the most important thing.
