[TTX]

Always nice to see Rhino doing his thing.

[Pariah]

The antics of Danhausen are always entertaining... And I'm very excited about the prospect of seeing Styles vs. Morrison... Stoked!

In an interview backstage, BG and Kip James say The Rascalz have a lot to learn about respect in TNA, but they are interrupted by Matt Taven. Taven says he is more than happy to teach a pair of Melvins like the James Gang the true meaning of respect. He says he doesn't mind which of them he faces, but he will face one of them on Xplosion next Tuesday. As Taven walks off, BG and Kip keep pointing at themselves and then the other as they start to decide who will face Taven

The camera cuts to grainy CCTV footage of Jody Threat being attacked last week, before cutting to a shadowed hooded figure who is laughing, before cutting again. Excalibur and Taz question who it could be and what they might have planned next

Thunder Rosa is edging carefully around the backstage area, cautiously trying to avoid being face on with any opening doors.

Thunder Rosa screams angrily

Kurt Angle comes to the commentary table ahead of the main event for the evening. Angle says that at one time, he thought AJ Styles showed the kind of integrity that he has carried as an Olympic Champion, but Styles' recent actions have proved that is not the case

Tommaso Ciampa def. AJ Styles by disqualification
Ciampa causes Styles more problems than he perhaps expected, so to deal with that Styles clocks him with the World Championship belt and gets disqualified.

Taven fails to get going, with BG James relentlessly attacking him. BG wins with a Pump Handle Slam

Danhausen is back on the hunt for "explosions", with a voice off camera suggesting he may be confused. Danhausen says he was assured that he'd be at "the explosions" and so he just needs to find them. He walks into the locker room, where he finds Moose laid out on the floor. "MOOSES!" he yells. "Someone get the vet, quickly, the Mooses is hurt!"

[Pariah]

Danhausen is always a draw... And I'm going to enjoy KK's war on the 'skinny boys'... Fun times!

[TTX]

Danhausen is always gold.

[on_the_edge]

Not sure who this John Morrison is but he looks like a dead ringer for Johnny Impact. Great action as always and even educational. I did not realize that TNA had a vet on hand. But with Mooses and Rhinos it makes sense. Keep it up.

Impact
November - Week 2 - Year 1
Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Kurt Angle opens the show in the ring. He calls out AJ Styles, telling the Phenomenal One that he owes TNA and the fans so much more than he is giving them right now. He says Styles has become bitter and has forgotten who helped him reach the top, now he is letting everyone down. Angle says if Styles cannot see he needs to change, then he will force him to. Styles says Angle has always enjoyed the sound of his own voice, but at Turning Point, he will happily shut his mouth for him

Danhausen is walking around backstage, eyeing people up suspiciously. He stops next to Matt Cardona. "Matt Ryder," he says. "Danhausen is doing a pretty good investigation into who hurt Mooses." He pauses and stares at Cardona. Getting as close as he can to Cardona's face he asks him if he did it. Cardona calls him a freak and says he had nothing to do with the attack on Moose.

Thunder Rosa is interviewed about The Buddy System. She says Solo Darling and Heidi Lovelace have been running around the locker room like a pair of idiots, but that ends at Turning Point when she and Holidead beat some sense into them

Detective Danhausen is continuing his investigation. He stops and stares at Candice LeRae. "Candy Ray!" he yells. "Did you attack Mooses last week?" LeRae points out how much bigger than her Moose is. Danhausen considers it before saying: "Hmm, yes, very convenient."

Josh Alexander def. Brian Myers by pinfall
Alexander lands some big shots on Myers, winning with a Torture Rack Bomb.
He takes the mic again post match, telling Matt Cardona that he still hasn't heard from him, but he is ready to beat him anytime, any place.

Matt Taven is interviewed about the James Gang. He says it wasn't a fair fight on Xplosion, because he was alone while that pair of Melvins had each other. So he will be bringing a friend on Tuesday, and the James Gang better be ready.

Johnny Gargano def. Eddie Edwards by submission
A superb main event between these two men. Gargano takes a beating, but his resilience sees him push through it and lock on Gargano Escape at the third attempt.

The lights go out post match as Gargano's arm is being raised. When they come back on, PCO is in the ring. Gargano flees before he can be attacked as the crowd go wild.

[Pariah]

PCO is back and Gargano better run! Stoked for the inevitable clash between AJ and Angle - two of the absolute best the business has ever produced.

Each time Det. Danhausen appears, I can't help but hear Ozzy's 'Perry Mason' in my head... Priceless!

Thanks for your continued interest! I am having fun just writing silly bits for Danhausen. Angle and AJ are so much fun to roll, particularly against each other!
