LIVE COVERAGE Sacrifice PPV
Sunday, May 24th

TNA opened up their live pre-game show from Orlando with a video feature on the Ultimate Sacrifice main event for the TNA title. Jeremy Borash, standing before the crowd, then ran down the lineup for the PPV card.

Backstage
Lauren interviewed Daffney, who was with Dr. Stevie Richards. She noted she wasn't a fan of Richards, so he said that if she wasn't going to be professional, he would take over the interview. He said that Monster's Ball was going to be a brutal, monstrous bout and Abyss has channeled all his aggression onto Daffney. He said that Daffney would take a step forward in her therapy tonight and that means someone would have to take a step back - Lauren's sorority sister, Taylor Wilde. Lauren said she wasn't going to allow him to just use someone. Richards blew her off and told her next time to be professional.

They aired a video feature on the female Monster's Ball.

The Amazing Red vs. Kiyoshi

The crowd chanted, "He's amazing" at the bell. Red ducked a kick and hit a leg lariat, then an enziguiri while Kiyoshi was on one knee. Kiyoshi went to the floor and Red hit a sweet looking twisting dive over the top to the floor. Red tossed Kiyoshi back into the ring but was kicked as he returned through the ropes.

Kiyoshi began drilling Red with kicks to the head and face. Don West said he and Kiyoshi spoke in his native tongue of Japanese earlier today. West shilling merchandise in Japanese would be the greatest thing EVER. Kiyoshi worked over Red and cinched in a side chinlock.

Red got to his feet and ducked a kick but was caught and hit with a flapjack. Kiyoshi made a cover but only received a two count. Kiyoshi came off the top with a chop to the head but Red got his shoulder up. Red pulled himself to his feet but Kiyoshi maneuvered him to the top rope. Red fought back and turned a suplex attempt into a twisting DDT. The crowd rallied behind Red.

Red made it to his feet and drilled Kiyoshi with several flying kicks. Kiyoshi cut off Red and went to the top for a moonsault, but missed. Red went to the ropes and hit a dive into a faceplant. Red hit a standing moonsault press and scored the pin.

Winner: The Amazing Red!

At ringside, Jeremy Borash and Lauren previewed the championship matches.

They aired a video feature on the TNA Legends championship bout and then Kevin Nash vs. Samoa Joe.

Lauren interviewed Kevin Nash and asked if tonight was the end of their war. Nash said he's from Detroit and that means if you beat him on Tuesday, he'll see you on Wednesday. Nash said that he's been about violence for 21 years in wrestling and before that, he was beating people up in bars. He promised he would bring the violence tonight and the war was over when he said it was over.

They aired a video feature on the Team 3D Invitational Tournament.

Don West and Mike Tenay did a hard sell for the PPV.

They aired a video piece on the Knockouts Monster's Ball.

First-Ever Knockouts Monster's Ball Match
Daffney (with Dr. Stevie Richards & Abyss) vs. Taylor Wilde

Taylor Wilde came out far too happy for someone going into this type of match. How are you not all business when you are about to be fighting with weapons?

Wilde got the better of Daffney early, then pulled a trash can full of weapons to the ring. She started distributing them in the ring. Daffney grabbed a detour sign and drilled Wilde with it before she had a chance to do anything with the weapons. She slammed Wilde on the mat, then drilled her in the corner for several chops. She choked her in the corner with her boot.

Winner: Taylor Wilde!

After the match
Richards had words with Wilde, allowing Daffney to lay her out. Daffney kept picking up weapons to beat Wilde but Richards told her no to several weapons. Richards then poured thumbtacks in the ring and spread them out. Richards called Abyss into the ring with the idea that he needed to do it for his therapy. Abyss looked scared and concerned. Richards began screaming at him to do it, then slapped him when he hesitated.

Richards pulled off a belt and threatened to beat Abyss with it. Abyss grabbed Wilde for a chokeslam but Lauren ran out to stop him. Richards shoved her down and began lashing Abyss to do it. Abyss teased doing it but dropped her and instead chokeslammed Richards onto the thumbtacks.

They played Abyss' music as he celebrated. They showed a shot of the back of Richards' shirt with all the tacks embedded in it and blood spreading across the shirt from his back.

They aired a video feature on Jeff Jarrett.

Jeremy Borash announced "three big names" will be on Impact and they will be announced on the mobile text service. He then interviewed Jeff Jarrett, saying it's surreal to know that after 7 years, Jarrett could lose everything he worked to build tonight. Jarrett said that he can't make a single mistake tonight or it will cost him everything he worked for his entire life. Jarrett said that as long as Mick Foley is the TNA champion, the company will continue to take steps backwards and that's something he and the company can't afford to do in today's day and economy. Thus, he has to make sure that the title is taken away from Mick Foley.

Chris Sabin came out to distract the referee as Alex Shelley drilled Suicide with a knee to the face. Why didn't he just unmask him? Daniels didn't see it but rolled up Suicide for the pin.

Winner and new X-Division champ: Christopher Daniels!

Maybe not. Daniels took the mic after he saw the interference on the videoscreen and said he didn't want to win the title like that. He said it was his first title match in 16 months and asked for five more minutes to re-start the match. Suicide agreed and they re-started the match.

LETS GET THE PPV THREAD ROLLING

For those who have asked about the female star that is expected to debut shortly with TNA, the name I have heard is former WWE Women's champion Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon). There's a chance she may debut tonight at Sacrifice, but I haven't heard any names out of the ordinary backstage as of an hour ago.

PWI

What would you think if she debuted tonight, what would her role be, would she help Daffney win the First-Ever Knockouts Monster's Ball, start a new team with Daffney and feud with The Beautiful People..

Thoughts..

Glad Chris Daniels is X champ again instead of that cartoon superhero.

Well three of my bets were right on the money. lol I really wish they'd retire Kong, her winnin all the time is just really gettin old, she honestly can't wrestle I mean she only has two manuevers that she does, she moves slower than molasses on a cold winters day, and her storyline is as ancient as the Egyptian Pyramids!!!!

I'm gonna be in the money I' ve gotten at least 5 correct now, can't wait to find out the rest of the results

I think Foley is gonna retain tonight. It would be interesting to have Mick in total control of the show if Jarret gets pinned. And it would also be interesting to have Foley in charge of MEM. I just hope Sting doesn't get pinned :shifty:

Wow I'm shocked. I wonder why they decided to give Sting the belt back already? Or why they even bothered to give Foley the belt in the first place?

So Foley loses the belt? I tought Sting just won his spot as leader of MEM?
Wouldn't Sting have to pin Foley to win the belt?

For Sting to have won the belt he would of had to pin Foley, however with Kurt goin to Dancin W/Stars, Sting had to pin Angle, and thus becomin the new leader of the MEM.. if we all recall Sting never AGREED with Angles attzck methods on the Frontline I have a feelin some BIG changes are comin soon to the MEM and all of TNA..also Booker now has to quit TNA cause he lost to AJ 2night..Impact is gonna really be inere[COLOR="Red"]STING this Thursday

tna is fucking retarded

SO you had to pin the Champ. They are back to Stong and Angle heat. Guess what TNA Foley as Champions isn't going half as backwards as re-starting the same feud. Women's Monsters Ball was gonna suck and apparently it did. :no:

Wait, you had to pin the champ to win the belt? Wtf? That's so dumb.

Yeah, Foley didnt lose the belt. He (Sting) became Leader of the Main Event Mafia, which to me was besides the point, I wanted to see the title switch if Foley didnt "win". All in all, I'm probably going to get reemed for saying this, but I thought the PPV sucked. btw, did I miss something, I thought Suicide still had the belt.
I agree with N2 Sting also, its getting rediculous how no one really "beats" Kong. They should have her win the X-Division title lol, she already manhandled Uncute Kip.
Just my opinions though.

^^Realistically though, do you think any casual fan would believe one of the 95 lb knockouts could actually beat Kong?

Lol, no. Good point.
