*Spoilers* TNA iMPACT Tapings – August 5th

Posted by Marc Middleton on Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

- Thanks to John Benoit and PWInsider.com for these live TNA spoilers, to air next Thursday night:

*Tommy Dreamer calls out Raven to explain his actions last week. Dreamer asks why he attacked him last week and said that his kids call him “Uncle Scotty” and now he has to explain to them what happened. Raven says he attacked Dreamer because he’s been waiting to get at Dreamer since Dreamer stole his girl and married her. Dreamer went after Raven but Abyss showed up to make it a two on one. RVD hit the scene to make the save and brawled with Abyss. Raven DDT’d Dreamer on the stage. Mick Foley came out to help Dreamer and announced at the PPV it will be Dreamer vs. Raven in a Final Showdown with Foley as the guest referee.

*Hamada and Taylor Wilde defeated Lacey Von Erich and Velvet Sky to become to new TNA Knockouts Tag Team champions. Madison Rayne and the motorcycle woman show up on the ramp, distracting the champions to set up the finish.

*AJ Styles pinned Rob Terry after a lowblow to retain the TNA Global TV title.

*Later tonight is Abyss and Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer and Rob Van Dam.

*Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne are shown backstage being restrained by security because she’s so angry over the loss of the Knockouts Tag titles.

*In a “Capture the X” style Ultimate X Match, it’s Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machineguns. Robert Roode cuts a promo saying that The Guns have proven they are great and even though it’s their type of match, Beer Money are taking the titles tonight. The Guns respond that the only way they are taking the belts is from their cold, dead hands. There are lots of great spots to open the match and some nice back and forth wrestling. Beer Money gets the upper hand but can’t get the X because Roode is afraid of heights and Storm appears to have had a little too much to drink. Another great match between the two teams, with the end being Alex Shelley sliding acrossd the ropes while Roode walked across like a tight rope. They fought near the X and Roode got crotched and bumped into the ring while Shelley grabbed the X. They are tied 2-2.

*Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Miss Tessmacher come to the ring. He announced RVD vs. Abyss match on the big Impact will be a “Stairway to Janice” match as a takeoff on the old ECW Stairway to Hell bout. Bischoff will be the referee. He announces the final Beer Money vs. Motor City Machineguns bout, Mr. Anderson vs. Pope Dinero, Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy having an open challenge that night as well. Kevin Nash comes out and says he’s finally got some face time with Hulk and Eric. Hogan tells Nash it’s time to step out of the spotlight and let the younger talents take over. Nash says he doesn’t like that and lays out Bischoff. Hogan and Nash go face to face and Nash takes him out. Nash grtabs a chair but Jeff Jarrett hits the ring. He gets the chair and is about to use it but suddenly Sting shows up, in red facepaint and lays out Jarrett with a bat. Nash and Sting leave everyone laying.

*Orlando Jordan vs. Pope Dinero. Jordan and Pope face off. Jordan gets Pope in the corner and starts grinding on him, which Pope doesn;t like. Eric Young runs out and starts collecting all the money that fell during Pope’s speech. That distracts Jordan, who Pope surprises with a pin. Matt Morgan attacks Pope after the match but Ken Anderson makes the save. Pope isn’t happy Anderson did. The TNA security guards from last week show up and yell at Anderson as well.

*Backstage, Christy Hemme informs Ric Flair that if any member of Fortune interferes, Flair is suspended for 90 days.

*Jay Lethal vs. Ric Flair in a Street Fight. Flair is busted open early. His clothes are ripped off, leaving him battling in underwear and one sock. Douglas Williams shows up to help Flair. We get a Moon over Orlando. Flair finally gets the pin on Lethal after Williams pushes Jay’s leg off the ropes.

*TNA champion Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer defeated Raven and Abyss in a pretty good tag match. Van Dam nailed the five star frog splash on Raven. Abyss attacked them after the match but the ECW crew hit the ring. Abyss got the upper hand but the lights went out and when they returned, The Sandman was in the ring with the Singapore Cane and cleaned house. That should be where the show ends.

After they went off the air, they played “Enter Sandman” and all the ECW guys and Hulk Hogan had a beer bash in the ring.

    Wow really Dreamer vs Raven? Dreamer needs too get over the fact that Ecw is dead and gone. Nobody wants to see these guys wrestle anymore.

    still, for the old ecw fans it will help wash the bad taste out of their mouths that McMahon gave them. I truly believe that they just want 1 more ppv. Then they’ll go back to the yearly hardcore homecoming show

    Ya but if the ppv does better then tna’s normal ppv’s which to be honest wont be very hard. Then they will do what wwe did and decide to keep using it till it stops makin them money.

    Dreamer and Raven still have more heart for the business than Nash, Sting, Hogan, etc. their match might surprise some although it will probably be a violent weapons match with not much wrestling. Add Foley to the mix and you might have a Funk run-in so who the hell knows.

    Wasn’t this Impact the one that was supposed to feature ECW talent and have no promos/backstage segments, just matches?

    C’mon people. TNA is really making an attempt here. The live events are awesome and the show gives us something different from the same old WWE stories. Wrestling is at a transition period and we the fans are just waiting on the next NWO, Stone Cold, or DX to come along. It seems a lot of the same names pop up bashing everything. Why bother to watch if it is that bad. I have a 10 year old son who is just as excited to watch wrestling as I was at his age. Thats all it takes for me I guess. Just the opinion of an almost 40 fuddy duddy I guess.

    AnarKaye you may be right but Dreamer is a hypocrite he’s bashed WWE’s ECW product but still works, for tna to do an ECW storyline.
