TNA Reaction on Spike TV
Live from Orlando, Fla.

[Q1] Seven minutes into the top of the hour, the battle royal from Impact continued. Abyss has already taken out about seven guys, and then eliminated Samoa Joe and Beer Money. Angle, Anderson, Hardy, and Abyss were the final four.

Hardy hit the Twist of Fate and Swanton on Angle, but Abyss then eliminated Hardy. RVD's music hit and he joined the match for the first time...

Twill's Two Cents: Smartest guy in the locker room; entering this late in the match and all.

RVD eliminated himself and Abyss, leaving Anderson and Angle in the ring. The two went back and forth teasing eliminations, but Angle finally Angle slammed Anderson over the top for the win...

Kurt Angle won the $100,000 Invitational Battle Royal.

Tenay and Taz welcomed us to Reaction... [C]

[Q2] Backstage, Flair told some douchey cameraman he and Fortune were getting into the longest limousine in Orlando. The limo would have women and booze. They were on their way to Daytona. He said Fortune was the best. He invited everyone to see him spend 100K in the bar...

Fortune joked about EV2.0 kissing Dixie Carter's ass. Flair then said he would be more than happy to kiss Dixie's ass. Flair had a beer, he had some fun, and Fortune made fun of Dixie's husband, Serg...

Twill's Two Cents: I'll be honest, if this was the entire show, I'd be cool with that. Flair being the coolest guy in the room and everyone else trying to be as cool as him, and that is not a slight on them. By the way, as long as Flair has money and fame, he can land as many young broads as he wants to. A lot of them love money and fame.

Hulk Hogan was hyped for the live broadcast... [C]

Mickie James she was in TNA to win the Knockouts Championship. She said she was going straight to the top and then was abruptly cut out...

[Q3] Tenay and Taz took over the broadcast. They went back to Mickie James. Weird. She said she was going straight to the top and "right now, that is Madison."

Twill's Two Cents: Actually Mickie, Angelina Love is the champion now.

She talked about her love of music and her career. For some reason, the cameraman panned down to her breasts and then back up to her face, but she never stopped talking...

Tenay said we would hear from Foley and Angle tonight...

Mr. Anderson sold his injuries backstage...

Mick Foley and EV2 were interviewed backstage. Foley said every return to the ring always fell short of expectations, except for tonight. He said Fortune peed in his eggnog...

Twill's Two Cents: I would be pissed if someone peed in my eggnog.

Each member of EV2 talked about making each other bleed, but now coming together to help make Fortune bleed at Bound for Glory. Raven said "10-10-10" was triple X in Roman numerals. So, we are getting porn at Bound for Glory? ... [C]

Twill's Two Cents: EV2 just wasn't pushed as a strong enough entity although Foley came across as a psycho here, which is a good thing. Raven was solid too.

[Q4] Footage aired of Hulk Hogan in the hospital with comments from his surgeon. Taz and Tenay sent Hogan their best...

Kurt Angle was backstage talking about his battle royal victory. Jesse Neal approached Kurt and played tattle tale. He said Anderson made some bad comments about him earlier. Angle demanded the production guy pull up the interview.

Anderson said Angle should take the hundred thousand dollars from the battle royal and buy himself some integrity. Angle was pissed and he went looking for Anderson... [C]

Angle found Anderson backstage. Anderson said Angle took a cheap shot at him during the battle royal. Angle told Anderson to stay away from him. Anderson called him a dick. They argued some more.

Anderson told Angle he would see him at Bound for Glory for the veyr last time. He then spit water in Angle's face and started beating his ass. Angle came back and called Anderson an asshole.

They brawled and went back and forth on each other. I was talking to Dot Net reader, "The Lovely Julianna" today and said this show would be so much hotter if wrestling itself was hotter. This show could be very good.

Angle said he would see Anderson and Bound for Glory and called him an asshole. Anderson said he would show Angle who the asshole was. He then said his nuts hurt...

Twill's Two Cents: Isn't Jeff Hardy involved in this main event too? I'm looking forward to Bound for Glory because it is Bound for Glory. I wonder if I have too much faith in TNA. I hope not.
