TNA Impact Wrestling Spoilers and My Thoughts for the 8/11/11 Taping

(Spoilers follow, if you don't want to read the spoilers please close this article now)

Hello wrestling fans, sports entertainment fans and all those in between and welcome once again to your weekly visit from the spoiler.

Yep, that's right, it's time for me to spoil some guy's day because they didn't read the title of the article or the big bold words above what I'm writing here. So just in case you are that guy, realize that it's not my fault you decided to skim past the warning label and the title of the article—that's your fault.

So on the heels of what I felt was a successful Hardcore Justice (you can read my "Grim Review" here), will TNA continue the momentum or continue falling in the ratings (last week they posted a 1.14—to be fair they were going against Jersey Shore, Burn Notice and Shark Week, so it's kind of understandable why the ratings dropped this week)?

So without further ado, here are this week's spoilers:

Immortal opens with Immortal's Bully Ray calling Abyss soft and announces that there will be a four-way BFG series match later tonight between him, Scott Steiner, Gunner and Crimson. He and Mr. Anderson start fighting, but all of Immortal turns on Anderson and starts ganging up on him. Mr. Anderson is taken away on a stretcher after the beat down.

Match No. 1: Mickie James beat Madison Rayne in a No. 1 contender's match.

Match No. 2: Brian Kendrick beat Robbie E is a X-Division Championship Match. Austin Aries was on commentary for the match.

Match No. 3: Beer Money won a three-way BFG series tag team against AJ Styles and Rob Van Dam and the team of Brother Devon and The Pope.

Kurt Angle comes out and apologizes to Sting for hitting him with the chair this weekend. He then cuts a work shoot saying that the only reason he did it was because he doesn't want Dixie Carter to get her company back from Hogan because she's lied to him in the past. Sting comes out and meets Angle on the ramp, but Hogan ambushes Sting from behind with a chair and lays him out, BROTHER.

Match No. 4: Miss Tessmacher and Tara beat ODB and Miss Jackie.

We get a couple of videos on new TNA star Jessie Godderz of Big Brother, aka Mr. Pec-Tacular (aka Chris Masters-lite). We see him talking about how good he looks, cutting in front of other wrestlers in the food line,and flirting with the Knockouts.

Jeff Jarrett and his wife come out with the AAA title, alongside two Hispanic janitors. He insults them and then begins to beat them down after they say the name "Guerrero." Hector Guerrero comes out to help them after Jarrett leaves.

Match No. 5: Crimson beat Bully Ray, Scott Steiner and Gunner in a BFG series four-way match in the main event. Kurt Angle came out after the match and beat down Crimson to end the show.

Those were the spoilers and now it's time for me to throw in my two cents on what I think of them.

If you were to take ref-bumps, unnecessary storyline backstories, an infinite amount of heel/face turns and the essence of "work shoots," you would probably end up with Vince Russo.

Angle doesn't want Dixie Carter to have her company back because she has lied to him...well that makes sense. One more thing: Does Hogan have to be involved in every episode of Impact and every PPV? I mean, when was the last time they had a show where neither him nor Bischoff appeared?

I mean, does anyone honestly want to see Hogan vs. Sting? Please answer the poll to the side because I'm honestly interested to see if anyone wants this match.

I'm glad Anderson's separating from Immortal, but why was he in it to begin with? It did nothing for him. Oh well, I guess I'll just be happy he's back to being the loner tweener for now.

Also Angle attacking Crimson kind of leads me to belive what I've been thinking this entire series, Crimson's going to win it. There's no question in my mind anymore who's going to come out on top, and once again reinstalls my belief that this series has been booked so poorly that it's not even funny anymore.

Other than that, there's not much to talk about. Robbie E got a title shot—for some reason—the tag match looks good, Crimson continues his undefeated streak and we get more Knockouts matches.

I think this should be a good show even if the booking seems to be a head-scratcher once again.

One more thing of note: Didn't Tenay say last week that we were going to see several "new" X-Division stars this week? Other than Mr. Pec-Tacular, I don't see anyone new in the report I got from my buddy at the show, but he could have missed something, or they could add something in editing.

Also, the Guerrero name-drop gives me hope that we could see Chavo in the next couple of weeks.
