Tha iMPACT! Playback

“I’m back, Jack!” Those are the words of The Hulkster in the new TNA Promo for Hogan’s Return or Take Over rather.

iMPACT! kicks off with Mick Foley running in on Kevin Nash and attacking him.

Payback for Nash's antics recently. World Elite rush in and take out Mick Foley and Nash gets the last laugh. Mick’s never been the greatest mind in wrestling.

Kurt Angle Interview

Angle says he’s not going away and wants his title back. Yaaawwwnn...

ODS (Ol’ Dirty Skank) is someone to look up to? Roxy WTF are you talkin’ bout?

Roxy vs. ODB – Non-title match

Roxy displays some improvement from what she’s learned in her recent tenure in Mexico. Roxy gets the win over ODS to the surprise of ODS. Post match: ODS attacks Roxy until Tara runs in and chases her out of the ring. Look for Tara to finally take ODS’s Knockouts Title at Final Resolution. It’s about time!

Video of Mick Foley’s trip to L.A. to meet the Hulk. Mick shows up to the gym to be greeted by..............................The Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno. Classic!

Kevin Nash Interview

Big Kev is pissed. Look out Foley! Nash had some harsh words for Mick. He said come January, Foley will be unemployed. Happy New Year Mick! Hurricane Hogan is on its way whether you like it or not.

Mick Foley Interview

So Jarrett and Foley see eye to eye after all that has transpired. Mick is only reaching out to Jarrett for some back up for when Hogan gets to the iMPACT! Zone as far as I’m concerned. He’s scared he’ll have to run back to McMahon. Abyss interrupts Mick and reminds him that he is Foley’s ally.

Interview after interview. Lemme get some matches guys! It seems like Super Mex and Matt Morgan’s top guy pushes have slowed down. Both men seem to be back down to the mid card level again.

Lumber Jack Match – Team 3D vs. Hernandez & Matt Morgan

I almost forgot Team 3D hold the IWGP Tag Titles. Tomato Head Bubba is still sporting the wack Mohawk. Low blow to Morgan and a DDT by Brother Ray and Team 3D get the win. A few lumberjack attacks to each team made this one somewhat interesting. Team 3D Wrecking Crew. I don`t think so.

Beer Money Interview

Feast or Fired this Sunday. Will this be the end of Beer Money? Probably not. Samoa Joe interrupts, again. Followed by Eric Young and crew. Young is a better heel than good guy. Young announces that the whole WE has now entered the Feast or Fired match including Kevin Nash. This should be interesting.

The Beautiful People vs. Awesome Kong & Hamada vs. Seriate & Taylor Wylde

The BP look as hot as ever and Kong looks as scary as ever. Kong stomps Madison Rayne and gives her a sit down splash to get the pin. I agree the BP look hot no matter what they do. Lauren slaps Lacie after being called a skank during the post match interview. Beautiful People, I still love you!

Foley and Jarrett are in the back. Mick is still trying to convince Jeff as to why he is here tonight. I got a question. Has anyone seen Sting?

Black Machismo’s Open Legend’s Challenge. The second installment. Lethal`s got a broom to sweep up the competition. Didn’t Jim Neidhart beat Jay last month in the first episode of this?

Jay Lethal vs. Tatanka

Was anyone expecting Tatanka? Not me that’s for sure. I can’t believe this guys even still around. It’s all Tatanka from the top of the match. Jay turns the tide for a minute. Tatanka even did the Indian Death Drop to get the win. Jay keeps losing in his own open challenge.

This is classic WCW style bringing has been wrestlers from the past in for a quick spin.

MCMG`s Interview

Both of these dudes remind me of whiny guys that we used to beat up back in the day. A couple of herbs.

Final Resolution is shaping up to be a PPV to answer a lot of questions. Will AJ keep his title into 2010?

Will Foley & Abyss get revenge on Raven? Who will get fired in The Feast of Fired? Will Tara finally capture the Knockouts Title? Will Lashley get his revenge on The Big Bad Booty Daddy who’s stalking his honey? I know I’ll be watching.

Jarrett finally meets up with Dixie. One would assume if Dixie's running the show that she would know Jeff's on his way. So, Jarrett says sorry to Carter. Dixie says Jeff’s gotta go face Angle and set things straight. How’s he gonna do that? Is that the new alliance to go up against Team Hogan? Angle-Foley-Jarrett? And perhaps Sting?

Desmond Wolfe vs. Daniels

Daniels is answering for his interference in Wolfe's title shot match last week against AJ Styles on iMPACT!

"Let’s go Desmond" chant starts to my surprise. Maybe Wolfe should join the World Elite and the British Invasion. He is a Brit and a heel. If the shoe fits...

Daniels and Wolfe go head to head and Daniels pisses off Desmond and it’s written all over Wolfe’s face. I hate Daniels with a passion. He’s so wack to me, if he left and never came back it would be fine with me. I hope he loses to AJ Styles at Final Resolution.

Daniels barely deserves a title shot in my opinion. Maybe just for time served but that’s about it. These two seemed pretty evenly matched through out the match and wrestled to a draw.

Main Event Time: Abyss, AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, Tomko & Kurt Angle vs. Scott Steiner, Raven, Dr.Stevie & The British Invasion

Mayhem before the match and we get a commercial before the match even starts. Boo! What the....

Steiner, Lashley, Abyss, Raven and Dr. Stevie go missing once the match starts. Steiner and Lashley are in the back tearing each other apart while Raven & Dr. Stevie take on Abyss.

Big Rob interferes as per usual. Why doesn’t this guy have more matches? It was a pretty short match. AJ Styles finally gets in the match and gets the small package on Williams to get the pin.

Angle and AJ exchange words after the match and Kurt punks out AJ. They go at it 'till Daniels and Wolfe attack Styles and Angle from behind. Daniels poses with the belt as we go off the air.

iMPACT! was better last week with Nash as the booker. It’s been good one week, okay the next for the past 2 months. Then again it could of been worse we could of had Dennis Miller hosting the show. Right?!!

There is no iMPACT! next week due to the Xmas Eve thing and all. The following week is a 4 Hour Special iMPACT! which will most likely be a 2009 year in review/best of show which happens to fall on New Years Eve.

Then it’s on to January 4th, 2010 with the first Monday Night iMPACT! going head to head with RAW!

In any case it looks to be an interesting start to a new year and a new decade. Stay tuned.....He’s back Jack!

Whatchya gonna do when The Hulkster takes over TNA in 2010?!! Run, hide, love or hate, but you definitely gotta tune in to see what goes down.

Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Holidays and a Great New Year!
