HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
My iMPACT (5/7) Insights9
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, brings us his unique analysis of the Thursday night battlefest.

The show began with a look at the Rage and Anarchy that has gripped TNA. It talked about the situation with Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, and Mick Foley. This was a promo piece for the upcoming Sacrifice PPV.

Tonight’s Episode: Mafia Re-Loaded

The entire Main Event Mafia, including their two bulky security guys and the two women, walked to the ring. Kurt talked about kicking Foley’s butt last week, with the help of Sting. Kurt said he would be in the main event for the TNA World Title at Sacrifice. Kurt put up his leadership role in the Mafia to get in the match. Kurt was upset about putting a 10 man match on free TV. Kurt was also mad that the Mafia weren’t asked about it, in advance. Kurt demanded that Foley come out an explain what was going on.

The Kingfish Arnie Katz highlights the major developments and discusses what they mean.

The ECW (5/5) Extreme Examination
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, brings you all the action and drama from the Cinco de Mayo edtion of ECW.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! This week, Christian was set to battle Mark Henry in the main event. Also, Evan Bourne went one-on-one. ECW did kind of forget to bring in someone like Chavo Guerrero or Rey Mysterio to celebrate the Mexican holiday. Oh well, no one’s perfect.

Before I get to all the action, I want to send special birthday wishes out to my step-son, Gary, and my best friend from childhood and “brother”, Fred. Both men celebrated their birthdays on the fifth.
