The Impact (7/2) Insight
Our resident philosopher looks at all the craziness that is TNA
The new era of the Main Event Mafia began on this week’s Impact broadcast. Samoa Joe’s in and Sting’s out. Sting would make his feelings clear about the nasty attack by his “brothers”, last week. Also, Team 3D would battle Scott Steiner and Booker T to determine who would get the next shot at Beer Money’s TNA World tag titles. Tara was back to make things hairy for the Beautiful People, along with Awesome Kong. Let’s get to all the fun and excitement.
The show began with a look at Samoa Joe’s surprising alliance with the Main Event Mafia. The Mafia took out Joe, several months back, only to have Joe return more savage than ever. He set his sights on eliminating the entire Mafia, until Kurt used Jenna’s (from Survivor) money to coax the Samoan Submission Machine to join the elite stable. The turn came at Slammiversary, where Joe handed the world title to Kurt Angle. Kurt did the whole thing with Joe without telling Sting. Sting was ousted from the Mafia after a vicious beating by all the Mafia members.
