TNA Impact Results 4.16.09 - Fallen Angel’s Return
Impact opens with AJ Styles out for an interview. He calls out Jeff Jarrett about whether he can trust him so of course Jarrett comes out pacify Styles’ fears. Sure enough The Main Event Mafia interrupts and announces that Kevin Nash isn’t cleared to wrestle in the main event tonight, so Jarrett allows Kurt Angle to take Nash’s place.
Homicide beat Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match when he pinned Naito with a second rope 187.
Mike Tenay had an sit down interview with Jeff Jarrett about a variety of subjects.
Taylor Wilde, Raisha Saeed & The Awesome Kong beat “Mi Pi Sexy” - Angelina Love, Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne when Kong pinned Love. After the match Mi Pi Sexy attack Kong and cut some of her hair off.
Backstage Lauren interviews Team 3-D about their Tag Title match with Beer Money at LockDown. As the interview progresses Brother Runt and Balls Mahoney arrive to BS with their old friends.
Abyss & Daffney beat Cody Deaner & ODB in a mixed tag when Abyss pinned Deaner. After the match Matt Morgan attacks Abyss.
In the ring, Mick Foley has an interview with his alter ego Cactus Jack. Sting then comes down to confront Foley about their upcoming match at LockDown. The two men brawl with Foley getting the upper hand as he demands the production team play various people’s music.
After the commercial break Beer Money are destroying Balls and Runt. After Beer Money lay waste to the two ECW originals, Team 3-D finally makes the save. Great segment.
In the main event, the returning “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels beat Kurt Angle with a cradle. However both men had their shoulders down on the mat and TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett came out to reverse the decision as after reviewing the pin from multiple angles he found that Angle’s shoulder was up. Thus Kurt Angle won the match and The Main Event Mafia gained the man advantage in that weekend’s Lethal LockDown main event.
Great show; one of TNA’s best in a long time. It was great to see appearances from Balls Mahoney and Brother Runt and the return of Christopher Daniels was a long time coming and a welcome sight.
