TNA Impact (May 28 2009) Review: A Night Of Comebacks

I missed the first half hour or so of Impact, so I can’t comment on the Amazing Red vs. Suicide (X-Division Title) and Cody Deaner vs. Doug Williams (Ladder) matches. Apparently there was also a promo by the Mafia, primarily Sting, in which he used his new status as the Godfather to boot out Sharmell and Jenna from the faction. (Thank god!) It should be interesting to see what direction Sting takes from here.

The significant news is that three performers returned from wrestling wilderness on the show. Victoria (as a new challenger to Angelina Love), Raven (aligning with Dr. Stevie as he assaulted Abyss), and Shane Douglas (unclear what his role will be)

The other important developments were the two King of the Mountain Qualifying matches for Slammiversary. AJ Stlyes took on and defeated Daniels in a nice match, while Eric Young lost to Jeff Jarrett, and then turned heel, attacking him. I think Young will be effective as a heel, since he’s shown promise with a few dissatisfied and frustrated promos in recent weeks.

Also, Mick Foley cut a promo saying that after Slammiversary, he’s only going to defend the title once a year to safeguard it’s prestige, or something along those lines. I guess it’s a safe bet the title will change hands at the pay-per-view…

Best Performers: (1) AJ Styles (2) Daniels (3) Eric Young
Best Match: AJ Styles vs. Daniels (King Of The Mountain Qualifying Match)
