We kick of Impact with a recap of Kurt/Jarrett’s ongoing feud and the fight for the TNA Heavyweight Title. Live now we have what looks like all the Knockouts in the ring and some rejects maybe? Jeff and Karen join them in the ring, Karen with a umbrella. Karen says her ex has taken a hit out on her so she is going to nip it in the butt right now. Karen says she suspects all the girls in the ring. Karen says she has been watching the caterer for sometime and she is always running after Kurt. The “grandma” just shakes her head to the accusations. The lady says if she is done with her she has to go make her pot luck meal. Karen say, by the way grandma, your Tuesday Taco’s sucks! Karen turns to a larger woman and says now we have spandex slut herself, the seamstress. Karen says she has been rubbing her hands up and down her ex for six years. She says its her job, thats what she is paid to do. Karen says measuring his in-seam which doesn’t take very long. She then asks her to leave. Karen turns to Miss Tessmecher and says that her and Kurt were working out at the same time and arrived at the arena at the same time. Miss Tessmecher puts it all down to coincidence and leaves. Karen says we now have Rice and Beans the little burrito girls (Sarita and Rosita). Karen says Kurt likes his girls hot and spicy and they always talk about America and he is a American hero. Sarita says they are Mexican America and are not interested in any of you Americans let alone Kurt Angle. Karen turns to Tara and Madison. Karen says two of yous along with Kurt are all former champs and traveling up and down the road, I bet you think you have something in common with Kurt. Madison says she did get one thing right. Tara does think she is special and I wouldn’t put it past her to lay down for Kurt because she is dirty filthy slut. Madison tries to bait Tara and Tara spits her gum at her and walks out. Madison then says I wouldn’t put it past Tara to sleep with Jeff and walks out. Karen then turns to the last remaining Knockout Velvet and says she has saved the best for last (looking for sure). Karen asks if she needs a new best friend? She also says she has gone as far as she can in TNA but if she was on Kurt’s arm that could change and she has heard she is good at lying down. Velvet tries to slap Karen but Jeff stops her and gets slapped herself. Velvet gets pushed by Karen before Angelina Love enters the ring and attacks her and Winter calls for the bell. Looks like the scheduled match will take place now!

Impact was really good compared with last week. Karen in the ring was pretty funny, (even one of the staff in the ring laughed when she wasn’t suppose to) so was a good start to the show which led straight into a match. Also nice to see Christy Hemme as ring announcer on Impact. Rumour has it she has just signed on for a new contract which could include more Impacts and announcing, yes you heard, announcing. All I know is more Hemme on television is okay by me. I also liked Scotty and Morgan squaring off was very entertaining and physical when it broke down backstage. Gunner as champ doesn’t do it for me. For one a T.V champ should be on every Impact, no? Two Gunner really hasn’t done shit in TNA he is just solid in the ring and TNA look to be down on heels atm. Not to mention I would much rather watch Daniels defend the title each week. In the ring he is excellent and we would get one good match every single Impact. I like the Angle of the TNA title. Bully getting a shot and dominating only to get screwed by A.J and continue there feud, pushes A.J back to the top, where he should be.
