My Sacrifice>/I> Recap & Analysis!
The Kingfish Arnie Katz conducts the detailed post mortem on TNA’s May pay per view. He tells you what happened – and why..

Sacrifice turned out to be pretty much as it looked on paper. The women’s matches didn’t really do much, but most of the rest was good. The main event and the Styles-Booker match were excellent, though the finish on Booker-Styles seemed more like a prep for another match and the latest plot element in the growing feud between Sharmell and Jenna Marasca.

Let’s look at Sacrifice match by match to see what happened and, just maybe, figure out what’s really going on…

Our resident philosopher profiles The Icon, Sting, who took control of the Main Event Mafia, after winning the Ultimate Sacrifice match on Sunday.

Sting faced off against Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley in the Ultimate Sacrifice match at Sunday’s Sacrifice PPV. Had Sting lost, he would have retired. Instead. Sting defeated his Main Event Mafia compadre, Kurt Angle, to become the new leader of the clique. Sting has had a long and successful career. This week-end’s win was the springboard that sent Sting to the top of the Mafia and also earned him this week’s OWW Wrestler of the Week award.

The iMPACT (5/21) Insight
Our resident philosopher looks at the lead-in to Sacrifice edition of TNA Impact.

Sacrifice is just days away. The four men involved in the title match saw ring time. Also Daniels and Suicide joined forces for the night. Mick Foley sank to the deepest of lows, this week. You have been warned. Let’s get to the action.

The show kicked off with a look at the rising feud between Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley. Mick has slipped back and forth between himself and his alter-ego, Cactus Jack. Mick/Jack attacked Jeff, last week, in the old TNA Asylum. Mick further injured Jeff’s hamstring in the attack.
