- The people that were most upset about Scott Hall being at the Turning Point show were Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe. The storyline they wanted to get over in their match was that Joe took everything Nash had and still kicked out and was likely going to win if not for the low blow and Nash’s feet on the ropes. Nobody has ever kicked out of two Nash powerbombs except The Undertaker. Nash and Joe worked hard on their match, even screening an old Sgt. Slaughter vs. Pat Patterson match for ideas. There is a feeling that because the fans were expecting Scott Hall to run in at any second, it really took away from the match.

Nash and Joe didn’t need Hall to get over their angle and TNA nor the two were not going to build a storyline or a match finish on the unreliable Scott Hall. The joke backstage was that Hall took a full year to show up for his scheduled pay-per-view appearance and there are still a lot of hard feelings towards Hall within TNA for missing last year’s show.

The storyline for Nash and Joe now is that Nash will refuse to fight Joe again because he beat him already while coming across as a bit of a coward. No pay-per-view rematches are in the works for the two right now but they are set to face each other multiple times on the upcoming European tour. Eventually the storyline will be that Joe gets TNA management to give him another match with Nash after Nash doing everything he can to avoid it. The idea is that Joe builds up outrage that he took everything Nash gave him and could only be pinned after a low blow and a tainted pin.

Big Show dominates early on. Everyone jumps in and attacks. The match ends in No Contest.

* Natalya Neidhart b. Cherry
I’m told Natalya dominated the entire match and got the win with the sharpshooter. Vickie then comes in the ring and simply pins Cherry to win her match against her.

Smackdown

MVP came out to ringside to do color for Mr. Kennedy vs. Domino. Kennedy won a squash. Umaga squashed Kennedy post- match as MVP approved.

Finlay and Horny beat The Miz and John Morrison when Finlay used the shillelagh and Horny hit the Tadpole splash.

Natalya scored the pin in a divas tag match.

Jesse and Festus beat Ryder and Hawkins via countout.

Vladimir Kozlov beat Stevie Richards. The crowd made a mass exodus to the stands/bathroom and didn’t care.

The main event is coming to the ring now.

Big Show came out to massive pyro. Vickie was at ringside for the match. Show took control early on. It wasn’t much of a wrestling match, more of a fight. It was a damn good brawl. The finish saw Show block a Conchairto and hit a Chokeslam. Show went for his own Conchairto and Vicki made the save. Edge re-proposes and they will now get married next week. That’s it. It was actually kind of anticlimactic.

It was announced at the Smackdown! tapings this past Tuesday night that Edge will be facing Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash. This feud was initially planned to culminate at Summerslam, and although it may still be planned for that event, we will be seeing HHH defend against Edge at the Bash.

The Raw brand begins a four day tour of South America that will commence in Chile tonight. The superstars are expected to return to the United States on Sunday night in time for Raw in New Orleans this Monday night. Jim Ross had some words of warning for the superstars traveling down south saying “I’m glad it is them and not me traveling this week and I also suggest that the travelers hang close to their hotel rooms from what info I have read and the information that the Superstars have received about this tour. Please, no nasty emails or comments about Chile, Peru, etc. I’m just providing the facts ladies and gentlemen.”

WWE Friday Night SmackDown (Airing 5/30):

As SmackDown! starts, Edge appears on the Titantron announcing that throughout the evening, he will be showcasing the impressive career of The Undertaker, as this will be his last night on SmackDown, and he is the special guest for ‘The Cutting Edge’ later in the evening.

Batista comes out to the ring first, and talks about his match with Shawn Michaels this Sunday. He is interrupted by Vickie, who is accompanied by Hawkins & Ryder. The two argue back and forth, and ultimately Vickie decides to put Batista in a tag match against Hawkins & Ryder. Batista must find a partner of his choosing, or it will be a handicap match.

First match of the night was U.S. Champion Matt Hardy against Elijah Burke (non-title, I’m pretty sure). Decent opener with Hardy pinning Elijah after the Twist of Fate.

Next was Finlay with Hornswoggle going 1-one-1 with Chuck Palumbo. Finlay won via a DQ after Chuck attacked him with a chain from his bike.

Then John Morrison with The Miz faced off against CM Punk. Pretty good match featuring the ECW talent. Punk defeated Morrison via pinfall after the GTS.

At some point backstage MVP was being interviewed and Jamie Noble interfered… (Don’t ask why, because nobody here cared.) The segment ended with MVP telling Noble off, and Noble vowing that he could beat Montel in the ring, and that he would talk to Vickie about it. Later on, he did just that, whilst interrupting a conversation between Hawkins, Ryder, & Vickie, and was granted his match, then thrown out of the office.

Batista came to the ring for his tag match or handicap match next. After Hawkins and Ryder made it to the ring, Batista got on the mic to announce his partner by saying, “I don’t need a partner.” Vickie came out to the stage again to mock Big Dave, only to be surprised by Big Show making an appearance. The match is now a tag team. Batista and Show win after a Showstopper & Batista Bomb. Easily the best match of the night.

Montel Vontavius Porter went up against Jamie Noble next, with MVP showing off how much of a star he is by man-handling Noble around the ring. MVP gets the clean win after a very short match.

Tonight’s bathroom break match was brought to us by Vladimir Kozlov vs. Shannon Moore. Funny how people around us thought that Shannon was a jobber. The squash ended with Kozlov getting the pin as usual.

Somewhere again backstage, Cherry was getting checked over in the trainer’s room, sporting a nice bruise on her face, when Maryse walked in. Words were exchanged, and a match was up next.

Michelle McCool vs. Maryse w/ Deuce and Domino. Towards the end of the match Cherry’s music plays and she comes out to the ramp, distracting Maryse long enough for Michelle to get the submission and the win.

Cutting Edge segment - World Title hanging above the ring, with Ladder and Table set up, and chairs in the corners. Edge talked a lot about the same old same old, then introduced the Deadman. Once Taker was in the ring, the two circled around the ladder, looking up at the title, with Edge saying how Taker might not be so comfortable with TLC equipment around. With that, Edge called out La Familia (Chavo, Bam Neely, Hawkins, & Ryder) who wheeled out a casket. Undertaker chased Edge from the ring, and got jumped and beat down on the outside. After a while of this going back and forth, Edge nails Taker with a chair and is able to roll him into the casket. Edge then climbed up the ladder, saying that Undertaker better get used to staying buried, as his last match would be this Sunday. Then the lights went out. On TV this’ll probably look different, but live from ringside you could see Undertaker roll out from underneath the ring, probably from a trap door in the casket, run in and climb the up the ladder. When the lights came back on Edge was eye to eye with the Phenom. Taker knocked Edge down and proceeded to fight with Hawkins and Ryder again. Just when it looked like Edge was going to get chokeslammed through the table, Hawkins /or Ryder (can’t tell them apart) intervened and was rewarded with a Last Ride through the table as Edge backed up the ramp.

That is where I believe SmackDown went off the air, but the action didn’t stop there. La Familia ran back in the ring again to gang up on The Undertaker, and just as he was getting overwhelmed again, Kane came out to help his brother. The Brothers of Destruction double-chokeslammed Hawkins and Ryder, then Bam Neely was chokeslammed by Kane as Edge was Tombstoned by Undertaker. Kane and Taker walked up the ramp, posed, and the show was over.

All in all, not too bad for a SmackDown. Colorado definitely needs a PPV here.

TNA iMPACT!:

Team 3D and Booker come to the ring and say that they, Tomko (who was in the back getting ready for his match), and Kurt Angle (who is in Hollywood) are considered the bad guys. He wonders if A.J.

Booker and Team 3D enter the office and Booker complains about the conditions again. Booker says that he will use Cornette’s office. Cornette goes to the ring and tells Team 3D and Booker they better be gone when he gets back.

Comette comes to the ring and he announces the matches for Slammiversary:

King of Mountain: Samoa Joe versus Robert Roode versus Booker T and two more challengers. (Tonight’s Christian versus Tomko and Rhino versus James Storm bouts)

Match Number Three: Awesome Kong defeats Leva Bates with the Awesome Bomb in the $25,000 challenge. The title was also on the line

Kurt Angle is walking in the back.

Karen Angle comes out to her entrance music and she comes to the ring. A.J. Styles comes out after Karen. . . at least his music plays but Styles does not come out.

They go to the back and Kurt is beating up A.J. Kurt walks into the Impact Zone and enters the ring.

Kurt says that he is not going to hurt A.J. but just bash his head in. Kurt tells Karen to leave and Karen slaps Kurt and then Kurt grabs Karen long enough to allow A.J. to come out. A.J. and Kurt fight for a bit until Team 3D, Booker, and Tomko come out and attack A.J. Christian comes out but they work over Christian and Booker hits a super kick on Christian. Ray hits Christian with the mic and then Booker hits the scissors kick.
