While Chris Jericho is on Dancing With The Stars, Hulk Hogan showed up tonight on American Idol. There was a segment with James Durbin, who is a huge wrestling fan. He even cut a promo saying that he was awesome, like the Miz. And then Hogan came out.

We don’t really cover TNA all that much on this site, but since there was quite the furor over whether Sting was going to be in WWE or not, I figured it’s at least a little bit newsworthy that Sting showed up on Impact last night and beat Jeff Hardy for the title.

FGB Radio co-host Jason, aka dadirrtywhyteboi, went off on Thursday’s TNA Impact before Bound For Glory even happened. He called out what was going to happen as many have done, but did it in angry glory.

Even though I thought Flair/Foley was a fun match, I do agree there was a bit of sadness in watching these guys still throwing themselves onto tacks when their careers are already so legendary. It seemed beneath them.

Check out the video:

I just can’t get enough Paul Heyman. Here’s yet another video of Paul from over the weekend where Heyman talks UFC 116 and Brock Lesnar, WWE, TNA, and his future:

This past weekend I celebrated my 24^th birthday which was followed by Sacrifice! Seeing so many TNA PPVs (every one since Slammiversary 2006), I was pretty numb to what I would get. I ended up watching it again this morning to a much better conclusion.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Team 3D and Beer Money to become #1 Contenders to the World Tag Team Titles

This was a good opener! The Machine Guns gained the much needed win as the “best tag team never to hold the titles.” There were some good spots but nothing that stood out.

“The Freak” Rob Terry defeated Orlando Jordan to retain the Global Title

People constantly criticize Terry, but I think he is underrated. There were rumors that Orlando Jordan would be doing something controversial, but other than his somewhat flamboyant entrance, I don’t know what it could be. The beginning was good with Terry smashing through Jordan but when Jordan worked the leg for way too long, it really hurt the battle.

Douglas Williams defeated Kazarian to “win” the X Division Title

Another good match which was a lot more mat based than I would have figured. The crowd was not into it. The big reaction was when Douglas powerbombed Kazarian into the corner and looked like he hit his head on the turnbuckle. Williams won with the Chaos Theory in a pretty good match. Kazarian officially was champion for around a month but never physically held the belt.

Madison Rayne defeated Tara to retain the Knockouts Title. Tara is gone from TNA

This was a rather mediocre contest. This would also be Tara’s final TNA match as she was on her way out. It was very sloppy and I couldn’t get into it in any way. Rayne picked up the win with her version of Matt Striker’s “Golden Rule” maneuver. Out came the Rayne and washed the Spider out!
