TNA
Victory Road 2012 Report
We kick things off back and forth
between Bully Ray and James Storm who will be opening up things tonight. Storm
is going to put the number one contenders match on the line.
James
Storm defeated Bully Ray
In a match that scarcely lasted
longer than two minutes, Bully Ray tried to attack but he ate the Last Call for
the pin. It was what it was.
Austin Aries cuts a promo. It
doesn’t matter if he’s in the final match, he’s always in the main event.
Austin
Aries retained the TNA X-Division Championship against Zema Ion
As always, Aries puts on a good
match. Even the dreaded hair spray was not enough to keep Aries down, and Aries
hits a huge brain buster, right into the Last Chancery for the tap out.
The Motor City Machine Guns will
return soon as a tag team. There’s some good news.
Samoa
Joe and Magnus defeated Matt Morgan and Crimson to retain the TNA Tag Team
Titles
Joe and Magnus retain the Tag
Team Titles but the real story here is Crimson, turning on Matt Morgan and
taking him out with a huge spear. Magnus and Joe retain the titles and hopefully
go onto feud with the returning Motor City Machine Guns. Pretty solid encounter
here as per usual, but I can’t wait to see Joe and Magnus against a quality tag
team.
Bobby Roode has some words.
Something about Twitter. My minds been trained to go blank when Twitter is
mentioned on a wrestling show. Roode vows to end Sting’s career. James Storm is
up and we have some trash talking, with a staredown.
Robbie E is out for his
challenge, teasing that it would be against a fan but it appears that no fan is
worthy of Robbie E. Devon comes out and it is on for the TNA Television.
Devon
won the TNA Television Title against Robbie E
A quick match for the most part.
Devon wins the Television Title with a spinebuster. Can’t say that the
Television Title means much in TNA, but good for Devon.
Jeremy Borash is with Dixie
Carter. The 10th Anniversary of TNA is coming up soon. There will be
many announcements coming up. Given TNA’s past track record about huge
announcements about said announcement. Dixie also hopes that Sting gives Bobby
Roode his just desserts.
Gail
Kim successfully retained the TNA Knockout’s Title against Madison Rayne
About as good as a match as you
might expect, take that comment for what it is, depending on the expectations.
Obviously they’re not friends. The fans are apathic but that’s the Impact Zone
for you. Gail Kim makes Madison Rayne Eat Defeat. It just seems like the same
old cycle in the Knockouts Division but hopefully things will get interesting.
Kazarian and Daniels have a
promo. It seems that there is some tension, as Daniels refuses Kazarian to
talk.
AJ
Styles and Mr. Anderson defeated Kazarian and Christopher Daniels
Well Anderson didn’t turn on
Styles, yet anyway. A good tag team match, with all four men looking excellent
in the ring. There was quite the sequence at the end between Styles and
Kazarian with the Styles Clash getting the pin for the team of Kazarian and Daniels.
Jeff
Hardy defeated Kurt Angle
This match was redemption for
last year and Jeff Hardy’s performance at Victory Road 2011 and Hardy did
perform and then some. Angle Slam was countered into the Twist of Fate and
Swanton Bomb gets the pin, with Hardy using the ropes for leverage. Jeff Hardy
and Kurt Angle put on an amazing match.
Sting becomes my favorite
wrestler saying that he is sick of people talking about Twitter and Facebook on
wrestling shows and he just wants to wrestle. Good man, that man. Don’t mind
Twitter but there’s just something that bothers me when its crammed down my
throat on a wrestling show.
Bobby
Roode defeated Sting
A fair enough brawl, even if the
finish kind of seemed a bit flukey. Both men did have a decent enough brawl and
Roode set up a chair, but as Sting went for the Scorpion Death Drop, he hit the
chair and Roode pins him. We have Bobby Roode vs. James Storm next month but
the build up just seems off. But a lot can happen in the next month. So we’ll
just have to wait and see.
We all knew going in that Victory
Road 2012 was very much a throw away Pay Per View Show. Still you’d want to
watch TNA Victory Road 2012 for the Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle match.
