- During an in-ring interview, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe announced he would be defending the gold in the annual “King Of The Mountain” match at the Slammiversary PPV. Qualifying matches will take place on “iMPACT!” to determine who will challenge Joe for the championship at the epic event.

- Thus far, we know that TNA Management Director Jim Cornette has selected the following names to take part in the qualifying: Robert Roode, James Storm, Matt Morgan and Tomko. Samoa Joe will pick an additional four names next Thursday night!

- Speaking of the King Of The Mountain qualifying – Booker T threatened Samoa Joe to pick him as one of the four names – or else! The showdown resulted in that night’s main event where Joe teamed with Rhino and Christian Cage to face Team 3D and Booker T. Joe won the bout for his team after beating Brother Devon. Following the bout, Team 3D brutally attacked the LAX’s Hector Guerrero and left him a bloody mess to end the broadcast!

- Speaking of the new TNA World Tag Team Champions LAX, they defeated The Motor City Machineguns on Thursday’s broadcast.

- The team of “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal, “The Guru” Sonjay Dutt and Kaz defeated The Rock N’ Rave Infection and Johnny Devine, but the big news came after the bout as Jay Lethal popped the big question and asked SoCal Val to marry him! Val agreed – and the two TNA superstars will walk the aisle at the Slammiversary Pay-Per-View to tie the knot as man and wife!

- On the other hand, it was Kurt Angle who was trying to put his marriage back together on Thursday’s broadcast. Kurt came to the ring and read a letter he had written to his wife Karen, asking her to come back home. Kurt asked Karen to be in attendance on next Thursday’s “iMPACT!” to give him an answer.

- In the TNA Women’s Title match, it was Awesome Kong beating Gail Kim after Angelina Love of “The Beautiful People” interfered. As a result of the interference, Gail injured her knee and required assistance to leave the ring!

- Later on the broadcast, “The Beautiful People” of Angelina Love and Velvet Sky defeated the team of ODB and Roxxi.

- A video of Abyss aired on the broadcast, as well as a special sitdown interview with the icon Sting.

Firstly, TELL US ITS FUCKING QUALIFYLING MATCHES THIS YEAR INSTEAD OF ASSUMING WE KNOW!!!!

Now, onto my thoughts. The Joe opening promo was good but i dont think a face should have selected three heels for the KOTM qualifying matches. That said, im still hoping Roode & Storm can get into the actual KOTM, dont really care if Tomko or Morgan dont get in.

The 6 man was pretty badly organized, Kaz won with a Pump Kick which isnt even his finisher. Considering at least two of his opponents could take the Flux Capacitor, it should have got a big finish.

Sonjay's reaction to Lethal popping the question (Who didnt see that coming?

) was perfect. I have been wanting them to go with this feud for a while now & hopefully something will happen to kick it off at Slammiversary.

Kurt Angle's promo was great. His priority list (1. TNA World title, 2. Gold medals, 3. the kids, 4. Karen) summed up his caracter perfectly & it got the proper reaction from the fans. I do however think that Angle should have responed to the crowd chants to get them to keep going.

Overall this was a much better show than recent weeks. Even the Sting & Abyss segments were well done & actually worthwhile. I'll give this weeks show a **** rating. Up a lot from last week.
