411’s TNA Prime Time Impact Report 11.03.05

Last week on Impact:

Match #1 Abyss defeated Lance Hoyt

After the match Mitchell has the bag of tacks and tells Abyss to punish Hoyt. Lights out…SABU~! His arm is wrapped in a towel…He has barbed wire wrapped around his arm! Shoot barbed wire too as his arm is cut up and bleeding and Mitchell pulls Abyss out of the ring…

We are back Tenay and West are at ringside. They announce the prime time special for this Thursday. Tenay says they are making an apology, which wrestling promotions don’t do, for the Ultimate X malfunction. As a make good, they are having the rematch on the special.

Here comes JJ. He has some big news. Not only will there be an Ultimate X, there will be a rematch with JJ vs. Rhino for the NWA World Title.

Match #2 Christopher Daniels defeated Jerrelle Clark

We are back with Shane Douglas with Raven. He wants to know what Raven thinks about JJ losing to Rhino and getting another shot. Cassidy Riley is out and says he was robbed and is being played by TNA. He says he is smarter and should know better. Maybe SHE did get in his head. Raven nails Cassidy and leaves. Who is SHE?

Match #3 AJ Styles © and Sonjay Dutt defeated Alex Shelley and Roderick Strong

Shane Douglas is with Larry Z and the 3LK. BG says they want one opportunity to finish Team Canada. Kip is here, and Larry says they get a rematch at Genesis. Kip says he wants to be the special ref. Truth agrees and so does BG. Konnan says it is a BRUTAL idea, and Kip is trouble. Kip says he saved his ass at BFG. They argue as we head to a commercial.

Match #4 America’s Most Wanted © w/Gail Kim defeated The 3LK (James and Killings)

Team 3D heads to the ring. The crowd chants for tables right away. Ray says that the management of TNA asked them to come here. They wanted to make an Impact, and they have. They want the crowd to applaud their new favorite tag team, AMW. He tells them not to boo, because AMW did something that no other team has done in 10 years…but…they made a DEADLY mistake. AMW didn’t get the job done. They were left for dead, but weren’t killed. What AMW did is have a funeral for them, and they heard about it and how they pissed in their caskets. Word travels fast, and they have some works for them. They know EVERYONE who was in that funeral. JJ, what are you know JJ, the EX world champ. AMW, you are now public enemy #1! #1 on the hit list. At Genesis, AMW and JJ vs. Team 3D and Rhino. Devon says it is time for Team 3d to lay their vengeance. They know who was there, so on Thursday, it is time for Team 3D to lay a path of rage on Team Canada…TESTIFY!

Here comes Team Canada and Coach D’Amore. D’Amore says they made a mistake coming to TNA. When they go prime time…Roode takes the mic and says that they don’t have to wait!

SNEAK ATTACK! Petey and A1 came from the back and here we go. They beat down Team 3D. The 3LK is out! Shit is on! 3D ON A1! Sneaks in and is alone! Devon has him! JJ and AMW hit the ring to save him though! 3LK and the rest of Team Canada brawled to the back. RHINO IS HERE! He and JJ go at it and we fade out…

Good video package that opens up the show. Nice, they use the footage of Jarrett WAFFLING Hogan in Japan with the Guitar. It is almost like a crash course/3-minute history of TNA.

Tenay and West welcome us to PRIME TIME IMPACT!

Winner: Hardy, Hoyt and Sabu @ 3:00 via pin

Sabu looks hurt and ABYSS IS HERE! BLACK HOLE SLAM TO SABU! Hoyt and Jeff are back to clear the ring of Abyss but the damage is done.

Decent little opener that didn’t slow down. They also took time after the match to work on building Sabu vs. Abyss.

Commercial time.

Buy Morphoplex, it will keep Traci’s pants off! The following message was paid for by the friends and supporters of Steve Cook, which as we all know is Steve Cook himself.

We are back and Jeff Jarrett is with Shane Douglas. Shane says this is JJ’s last shot. JJ says TNA hates him, and he hates them. They tried to fire him because he had the title. Tonight in his only rematch, he is gone. These are the nights that define a man. It isn’t about the most prestigious title, it is about the power. It is a moment in wrestling history. This night will define him in wrestling history. November the 3rd, he walks out the champion. Monty Brown is here! He wants to know, what does he have on Larry Z. He deserves the title match. JJ says Monty doesn’t get it. JJ had this in his contract. “Good job Jeff, I am happy for you. I want the winner.” Monty hopes he wins, because he wants to beat HIM for it. Monty will watch, but if you want to see dominance, watch Monty right now. He will go though his opponent like exxlax, with the POOOOOOOOOOUNCE…PERIOD!

Tenay and West hype the card for the evening.

Match #2 Monty Brown vs. Brian Gamble

Lock up and Monty beats him down. Boots to Gamble, butterfly suplex follows. Clubbing shots to Gamble, side back breaker followed by the fall away slam. Gamble off the ropes…POOOOOOOOOUUUUNCE!

Winners: Team 3D @ 14:32 via pin

Solid tag match that kept the crowd and advanced the beef between 3Lk and Team Canada, while ending Team 3D’s problem with them so they can move on. I also liked that the crowd kept chanting for the tables, but Team 3D hasn’t given it to them yet. They need to stay away from it and not go back to relying on it, because then they will just be doing the exact same thing as in the E.

Commercial time.

We are back with an Ultimate X Video package.

Borash makes a mistake here by saying this is the first ever “Prime Time Ultimate X,” They had the short one on the “Best Damn Sports” special.

TERRIBLE TOWEL IN THE BACKGROUND!

Match #5 Ultimate X Rematch: Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Matt Bentley w/Traci (Winner gets a title shot at A.J. Styles’ X Title at Genesis)

They brawl to start. They single out Petey and start to work together. Bentley tries to climb, but Sabin says NO and then pulls him off. Bentley to the floor and Petey climbs.

Bentley going for the X…Petey over…they kick at each other…LOW KICK by Petey, damn cheating Canadians! Bentley falls and Petey grabs the X and wins!

Winner: Petey Williams @ 15:18 via pin

They should have tried their best to avoid the commercial during this match I think, big mistake IMO. Petey felt robbed that he had to do the match again and won like a cheating Canadian that he is. It really picked up in the 2nd half and was a good match.

The rest of Team Canada is in the back beating down the 3LK.

Commercial time.

We are back with a TNA home video commercial.

Tenay and West tell us it is FINALLY time for the NWA Title match.

Borash is here for the SUPER SPECIAL ring announcing.

Good move, they take their “final” commercial break before the match, and say we won’t miss anything.

Here we go! Lock up to start, and Rhino shoves JJ away. Lock up again and a wrist lock by JJ, reversal and off the ropes and a shoulder block by Rhino. Off the ropes again and a sweet dropkick by JJ.

Winner: and NEW NWA CHAMPION Jeff Jarrett @ 13:00 via pin

Good match. They had the advantage of using a lot of props and all to keep the crowd hot. Rhino looked good and was obviously robbed as it was clear he had the win. The good news is that he looked really strong..

Backstage we see Team 3D handcuffed and laid out covered in blood.

Final Impact Thoughts: For TNA’s first real “prime time” effort I thought the show was damn good. They did good build for the PPV as had some damn fine matches. While I don’t like that Rhino lost already, TNA gave a surprise title change on PPV and a FREE one on TV. They did their best to give new and old fans alike something to get into and I think it was a definite thumbs up episode.

If you missed the show tonight, remember there is a replay Monday’s at Midnight!
