TNA Impact Results - 07/10/2008
Orlando, Florida
Report by Wade Keller of PWTorch.com

-A video at the start of the show hyped the LAX vs. James Storm & Robert Roode feud. The show is titled "Victory Road Drive-By." Amazingly, no mention of Kurt or Karen Angle here. A nice relief.

1 -- HOMICIDE vs. ROBERT ROODE -- Street Fight

This literally took place in the parking lot outside of the Impact Zone. They were surrounded by cars with their headlights on to provide light in the night. They brawled with weapons and fought on and around the cars and dumpsters. Homicide set up a Gringos Killer, but Jackie interrupted. Someone wearing a hood interfered. It turned out to be James Storm. Tenay said they anticipated this being a fair one-on-one fight. The heels handcuffed Homicide and dragged him into the arena and inside the ring. They stomped on him as Jackie cheered. Hernandez finally made the save. The heels ended up double-teaming him, though, too. Hector Guerrero came out to try to uncuff Homicide. Hernandez got a whip and hit the heels repeatedly to clear the ring. Then Sting showed up again in the rafters about eight minutes into the show. Tenay and West again wondered what he was doing there, and why now.

WINNERS: No contest.

[Commercial Break]

-A video package aired hyping the World X Cup. It touted the world class athleticism in the division. The narrator said with each win, a new star is born, and with each victory a new team is closer to being the 2008 World X Cup Champion. It would help people are a little if they did more to acknowledge past World X Cup tournament winners so it seems as if someone was keeping historical track of it.

[Q2]

1 -- MASATO YOSHINO vs. DOUG WILLIAMS

Tenay said Yoshina is known as Speed Star in Japan. Williams punished Yoshino with a variety of knee blows. After more back and forth action with an interesting mix of styles, Williams rolled up Yoshino and then rolled through into a back suplex into a bridge for the win.

WINNER: Williams in 5:00.

STAR RATING: * - That win gave Team International 2 points, so that meant that in the standings for those who care... wait. Nobody cares? Okay. Never mind, then.

-Backstage Angle walked up to Angelina Love and Velvet Sky in their locker room. Angle scolded them for worrying about their make-up because they had a match later. Love told him to chill out. She said every day is a beauty contest for the Beautiful People. She said "the marks" pay to see them because they're hot. Angle said he has a reputation as a bad-ass. He ordered them to get out of their seats and do some squats. Love had Borash spot her as she did spots. Love said, "That better be your microphone!" Sky said, "Eww. Gross." They put their paper bag over his head. He yelled, "I swear it was my microphone."
