Orlando, FL
The Impact Zone
(taped on 9/13/11)
The current TNA champs are as follows:
World Champion: Kurt Angle (8/7/2011)
World Tag Team Champions: Mexican America (8/18/2011)
X-Division Champion: Austin Aries (9/11/2011)
Television Champion: Eric Young (5/26/2011)
Knockouts Champion: Winter (9/11/2011)
Knockouts Tag Team Champions: Brooke Tessmacher & Tara (7/21/2011)
It’s still TNA iMPACT! to me, folks. This will be the only TNA review from 2011 that I will do, so don’t get excited, you one TNA fan there. Unless they do Sting v. Flair XXXVII! That will be the one to finally settle the score!
Now you’re probably asking yourself, “Matt, why are you doing this to yourself? You should maybe talk with my therapist. He’s really good.” Well, as a long-time fan of the Stinger and the NATCHA BOY, I thought I would recap this show just for the sake of me feeling a little complete in seeing nearly every televised match they have had with each other over the past 20-something years, which leads me to another recap coming soon of the COMPLETE Sting v. Flair collection. It’s just the one-on-one stuff, people. Let’s be realistic. But you read that correctly. It is coming soon. And I’m not doing it because their matches are really any different from each other, but just because I’m such a mark for those guys. Apparently, so are the people in TNA because this match – if we are all honest with ourselves – should not be happening on cable TV in 2011.
Your hosts are a 57 year-old wrestling nerd and his wingman: the brown gnome who wears extremely dark sunglasses indoors as if IMPACT WRESTLING’s pyro included atomic bomb testing. Read the rest of this entry

Footnotes:
[1]: After being stripped of the belts prior to Sacrifice, Team 3D are awarded the belts right back.
[2]: Angle and Joe defeated Team 3D for the belts. Since they can’t get along and Joe scored the pinfall, he won both straps.
[3]: Initially, Kurt Angle beat Joe for the TNA tag belts by himself and added Sting as his tag team partner when he won a four-way dance by defeating Samoa Joe, Christian Cage and AJ Styles on the 8/30/07 edition of iMPACT!.
[4]: Consequences Creed subbed for Adam “Pacman” Jones who no-showed. On the 4/17/08 edition of iMPACT!, Kaz and Super Eric defeated Tomko and Styles for the belts in a three-way dance also including the LAX, but were stripped of the titles when Super Eric would not reveal to the world that he was in fact Eric Young.
[5]: This was the “Deuces Wild” tournament final to crown new champions.
[6]: This was a three-way dance including the ex-champs Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed, but it was Roode who pinned Morgan to win the tag titles.
[7]: The IWGP tag team titles were also on the line, held by Team 3D. However, the titles are not considered unified.
[8]: In a Full Metal Mayhem match where both the TNA world tag team titles and the IWGP tag team titles (which were then held by the British Invasion and lost during the match to Team 3D) were on the line, World Elite’s muscle Big Rob helped Doug Williams retrieve and win the TNA world tag belts for the British Invasion. This match also included the former TNA world tag team champs Booker T & Scott Steiner and Beer Money Inc.
