TNA 3, WWE 0

So as far as I'm concerned TNA won again... watching both shows, WWE looked weak going into Mania and the verbal debate between the most boring superstar Dave and overactor John Cena was no comparison for the TNA main event match between Beer Money and RVD/Jeff Hardy. If I had been watching both simultaneously, there is no way I wouldn't have stayed on Impact when Raw went into 10 minutes of talking to end the show.

But that's the end damn it and to do it right, we gotta start at the beginning.

Eric Bischoff may be one of the biggest assholes in the wrestling business but the man can play a guitar. Woo-hee, damn. Wasn't quite sure where it was going but it got me interested. Easy-E calls out Double J and the crowd goes crazy for Jarrett. I still can't believe that someone found a way to get Jeff Jarrett over, I hate him, have always hated him and was begging for him to clobber Bischoff with the guitar.

That thing disintegrated too when it went through Bischoff's head. I wish that the spoilers throughout the day hadn't said anything about a Career vs. Career match at Impact tonight, because I immediately knew once I saw Foley that it was going to be Jarrett and Mick. Would've been nice for a surprise, but TNA is trying to promote, I guess.

Taylor Wilde, Sarita, Angelina Love and Tara vs. Daffney, Velvet Skye, Madison Rayne and Lacy Von Erich: Every TNA show should start with an X-Division or Knockouts match. Its sets them apart. This match was good, played to everyone's strength and even Lacy got a chokeslam out of it that didn't look half bad. Compared to the WWE Divas match where the entrances took more time than the in-ring action, this bout was amazing.

AJ and Flair limping in out of the Stripperamma van was hilarious. I still can't figure out why the stripper van has wheel chair access.

Hogan's announcement wasn't as MAJOR as they wanted it to be but Abyss' promo skills are much better when he isn't playing the sniveling turd. The "beatdown" on Abyss looked weak from styles but it looks like Pope's ankle has heeled nicely as he made the save and kicked some ass.

Flair's face right before he was clotheslined out of the wheel chair was classic.

Rob Terry vs. Tomko, Tomko looks a lot like Scott Ian from Anthrax, except, well Tomko's getting a little pudgy. He's almost to the point he shouldn't be wearing trunks anymore. Maybe get some pants Tomko. This was a squash match but still got Terry over. He beat a big guy with big offense and that spin kick he does is amazing.

Jarrett vs. Foley, to be honest I didn't watch it, the finish got spoiled for me when I was online for a brief second between the shows and after finding out the finish, I cared a lot less. It looked decent as I zoomed through it on DVR. It makes me wonder of Foley is really leaving or taking a backstage role.

One of the best moments of the night was Foley busted Bubba The Love Sponge in the face for trying to interview him afterward. By the by, Foley worked a little stiff and busted Bubba open, which, if they had showed would've made the fans in the Impact Zone even more pumped. They had started a nice F&@# you Bubba chant when he first showed up.

Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez, I hate the fact that these two are fighting. Together they should've ruled the Tag Team Division for awhile. A nasty Carbon Footprint put Hernandez out, cutting the back of his head and bringing out the paramedics. Slick Johnson, the ref, made it a little too obvious that it wasn't a legit injury. No one throws the "X" that many times.

Beer Money vs. RVD/Jeff Hardy, I was concerned when this was announced but it blew me away. Everyone looked good in this match. Hardy took a Shawn Michaels-esque beatdown allowing RVD to get the huge face pop and hot tag. And the final spot with the Rolling Thunder, Swanton Bomb and 5-Star Frog Splash was amazing. This is one of the reasons, everyone should at least check out TNA.

Oh, and for next week, I don't know if everyone is excited about this, but I am. Tara vs. Daffney in a FIRST BLOOD MATCH. Divas never bleed, even in the Attitude Era, women weren't supposed to bleed or really be hardcore. This could end badly, but it could be awesome if they do it right.
