He pointed out the fans that took part in the Fans' Revenge match and told them he held them all responsible for what happened. He said that he wanted his NWA title back or Samoa Joe would be left laying in a pool of his own blood.

After the match, Brother Ray took the mic and said they left to refocus on getting the NWA Tag Team championships. He said that TNA management asked them when they wanted their title match, but 3D wants to earn their title match. He said they are going to do it the old way, fighting their way to the top.

Christian Cage was at the announcing table. During the match, Rhino came out but was held back by security. Rhino finally broke through and attacked Cage. There were more Jackass shenanigans. Sabin pinned Devine. The crowd chanted "No More Jackass" again after the match.

-Jim Cornette came out for some official announcements inside the ring. They had a podium set up with several chairs in the ring. Cornette said they had two legends in the building, Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell. No really, he said legends. Cornette said that they had been with Sting for his training for the Bound for Glory PPV match against Jeff Jarrett. He discussed the match and promised that would be the night Jarrett loses the belt. Cornette brought up the latest addition to the TNA roster, Kurt Angle. He said that at the BFG PPV, Angle would be a ringside enforcer during the NWA title match. Jeff Jarrett came to the ring and said that he wanted his championship belt back. Cornette relayed to Jarrett that Samoa Joe said if Jeff wants his belt back, he'll have to come get it from Joe. Jarrett asked if Cornette was really the boss or just another incompetent figurehead in TNA. Jarrett brawled with Luger and Bagwell. Samoa Joe hit the ring. Joe and Jarrett brawled but in the end Joe held onto the NWA title belt.

I remember hearing that someone once said that "WWE could ruin wet-dream." Well, from looks of these spoilers, think quote hold more truth to TNA than it does WWE. Honestly, what is the deal with Kurt Angle not making appearance? In my humble opinion, there is little to no reason on why he did not make appearance. Terrible booking. This move by TNA is completely and utterly unlogical.

I mean, for the first time in ages, TNA has people buzzing about their company. And how does the company procced with the hype...? Kurt Angle does not make appearance, of any kind. Granted, I am reliefed that TNA is not in hurry to enter him into wrestling match due to his infamous health issues (believe, I truly am). However, having Kurt Angle make apperance and therefore, promo would seem as if it should have been the logical move. 

By the way, I can obviously understand if the reason behind the move (or lack thereof) is due to Kurt Angle having personal problem and/or being busy with other issues in his life, however, I personally feel that TNA should have made sure, beyond shadow of doubt, that Kurt Angle would be able to make apperance on taping when they signed him.

Anyhow, what is my point in all of this? In similar effect to how TNA "dropped the ball" with Sting, I feel that decision of Kurt Angle not being at the first iMPACT taping, regardless of the reasoning, probably will result in loosing good amount of the buzz and therefore, inceased audience could have possibly recieve if Kurt Angle would have been at the show.

Oh yeah! By the looks of things, good to see that TNA will be putting Kurt Angle to good use... After all, nothing says credibility such as playing "second-fidle" to the likes of Jeff Jarrett and Sting. :roll:

Edit: Unless I missed something and/or it was not reported in the spoilers, at the very least, management should of (could have easily) filmed pre-recorded video of Kurt Angle 'cutting' promo about making his move to TNA (you know, in similar effect to Nash-Shelley tapes from few months ago).

Exactly how WCW weakened Bret Hart. You gotta give Jarret one thing, and that's that he's immediately always on top of every threat.

well since Angle was fired a month ago, he has a 90 day no compete clause right?

i was talking with DirtyDarren and we were thinking that Kurt Angle obviously had a contract for a certain amount of years and since he was fired early, it was some sort of breach in contract so the no compete clause became null and void. maybe?

That's not the point. As Link said earlier, putting Angle in an "enforcer" role cheapens the impact of his signing, just as it did to Bret Hart, regardless of the circumstances. Jarret and Mantell know this.

And if that is the case, here's an idea: how about holding off on the announcement until Angle is able to legitimately perform with no restraints?! Maybe even air a few teasers that suggest Angle could be coming to TNA. (It's not like TNA wouldn't have had enough angles in the meantime to work with.)

See, THAT'S how you draw REAL attention. TNA had a real opportunity here and they blew it. I'm not saying Angle's presence alone still won't help out TNA in some capacity, because it could. But they could've done so much more for the company at large with the signing alone.

Of course, if Spike ordered them to do it, then that's a whole other story.
