the following are spoilers from tonights TNA tapings look away if you do not want to know

you have been warned :D

Xplosion:

*Ron Killings & Sonjay Dutt defeated Bobby Roode & Petey Williams.

Impact June 22

*Jim Cornette was inside the ring as the show opened. He discussed that had meetings with all the talent last night, noting LAX missed the meetings. He said that an example will be made on next week's Impact and someone will be fired to get across that things are going to change in TNA. He then discussed the NWA championship situation from Slammiversary, saying it made him sick and embarrassed and Jeff Jarrett is not the champion. Cornette said there will be a major announcement regarding the NWA title next week. Jeff Jarrett came out and got in Cornette's face.

*NWA Tag Team champions AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels defeated The Diamonds in the Rough. Jamie D (still unnamed as a TNA character) came out and beat up Simon Diamond when he tried to interfere. Gail Kim came out after the match to confront Jamie D, but AMW pulled Kim out of the ring.

*Monty Brown pinned Chasyn Rance with the Pounce. Konnan invited Brown to join LAX after the match over the house mic. Brown refused. Konnan then claimed there was racism in TNA, mentioning Ron Killings and Sonjay Dutt. Killings came out and they went back and forth. Konnan and Killings hugged, but LAX jumped Killings from behind as he was embracing Konnan and laid him out.

*Jeremy Borash interviewed Eric Young outside of Jim Cornette's office. Young was paranoid he was getting fired. Jay Lethal and Chris Sabin were in the office and came out and Young told Borash not to "tell anyone about their secret plan." Borash looked at him like he was out of his mind, not knowing what he was talking about.

*In the back, Team 3D and The James Gang were insulting each other back and forth. They brawl into the Impact Zone and Brother Runt hit the ring to help Team 3D. Brother Ray challenged James Gang to a six man tag at Victory Road, and tells them they have a week to find themselves a partner.

*Samoa Joe defended the X-Division Title against Senshi and Sonjay Dutt in a three-way match. During the bout, Scott Steiner attacked Samoa Joe with a steel chair when Joe was outside the ring. Dutt saw what Steiner did and was attacked by Senshi. Senshi pins Dutt with a double stomp to become the new X-Division Champion. During the match, Eric Young was sneaking around the audience with a "Don't Fire Eric Young" sign.

Impact for 6/29

*Christian Cage comes to the ring and demands Sting comes out. He demands to know what the deal was between them at Slammiversary. He accused Sting of only caring about the NWA title and of trying to get the title for himself. Sting said that he met with Jim Cornette to set up a match for Impact "next week" with Cage & Sting vs. Scott Steiner & Jeff Jarrett.

*Petey Williams & EricYoung defeated Chris Sabin & Jay Lethal. Team Canada was at ringside and kept trying to interfere, but Young kept preventing them because he was so paranoid about getting fired. It was funny live. Alex Shelley came out to the ring with Johnny Devine, as they are now partnered together.

*Monty Brown pinned Norman Smiley with the Pounce.

*Team 3D defeated America's Most Wanted in a No DQ match. The James Gang come out and discuss choosing their partner at Victory Road. Abyss attacked 3D from behind. Brother Runt hits the ring and tries to hit the Acid Drop. Abyss counters it and throws Runt through a table that was set up during the 3D vs. AMW match.

*Jim Cornette was in the ring for a "company meeting." A good portion of the roster and staff were standing outside the ring for Cornette's address. Cornette told LAX that if they continue to refuse to wrestle, they will no longer be paid. He told Team Canada that they all have individual contracts. He announced Team Canada is officially disbanded. Cornette said AMW wanted a Tag title rematch, but at Victory Road it be a mixed six person tag with the belts on the line featuring Styles & Daniels & "The big Amazon looking woman" vs. AMW & Gail Kim. Earl Hebner, Jeff Jarrett, and Larry Zbyszko were all instructed to get into the ring. Cornette told Hebner that they have been friends for 20 years and then fires him. He then tells the other referees that if he'll fire a 20 year friend, anyone is vulnerable. Cornette turns to Larry Zbyszko and that it was wrong for him to get involved at the PPV. He said he's not going to fire Zbyszko because then he'll get paid for his contract, so instead, it's Raven vs. Zbyszko at Victory Road in a Hair vs. Hair match.

Cornette turns his attention to Jarrett and Scott Steiner and announced a Four Way Match at Victory Road with Christian Cage, Scott Steiner, Sting, and Samoa Joe to determine the number one contender to the belt. He then says he will give Jarrett the title back, but Jarrett has to wrestle the winner of the Four Way that night for the NWA title. Jarrett got on the mic and said that since he's in a good mood, "Why not?" and agrees. Jarrett then said why not just have "next week's tag match" right now. They all starts brawling. Cage and Steiner brawl up the heel ramp. Steiner runs into Joe, who then chokes him out.

FYI, according to the internet Cena just showed up at the building for ECW/ Smackdown taping. He had a black eye. Same site say's ECW goes live tonight and that Paul Heyman has more creative control over this week's show. We'll see how that play's out for Cena since Vince was big on trying to do anything to get him over with fan's and the ECW angle was working cause he got a huge pop last night and very few boo's for the first time since I can remember.

they said that Dusty Rhodes and Paul Heyman showed up together in a limo at like 11:30 this morning

I hope Heyman has more control than last weeks train wreck only time will tell

as far as the crossover I think/hope it will be done after this Sunday

Heyman is supposed to have more control, but as for your hopes the crossover is going to continue until ECW's rating's are high because Sci'Fi is part of the USA network of stations and the dudue responsible for bringing back WWE to USA is the guy who got the network exec's to put ECW on and Vince probably feel's like he owes him to a degree. I think the crossover stuff is fine, we'll never have ECW the way it was but remember it wasn't all thumbtacks, tables and chairs Their were lot's of great wrestlers who used ECW as a stepping stone and didn't really take part in the violence so your core ECW are all "extreme" guy's and your crossover guy's are more traditional.

Yeah it seemed that way on TV, The writer's will do anything to get him over hoping to re-create The Rock again. Most hated to most popular and ECW seems to be the only thing that's worked. Don't relly like the gimmick cause it's getting old but I have to respect the man he is a tough SOB.

Maybe they should move Cena to ECW as the ultimate heel since Heyman likes to point out the fact that he has no wrestling skill and he could beat people with chairs since that's all ECW fan's seem to remember about the promotion and all they want to see now.

From Dave Meltzer: http://www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/

As things stood as of late last night, ECW was going live as after last week, with Smackdown being taped beforehand. They aren't concerned about lewd chants getting through. The plan was to do a completely different presentation as last week, with the Angle & RVD vs. Orton & Edge match scheduled to go long and designed to be a top level match. John Cena is also scheduled to appear to do an angle with Sabu. Stemming from the reaction to last week, this is is said to be close to 100% Heyman and he was given a lot of leeway this week. There is a lot of internal pressure on this show and the ratings pattern as to how ECW is presented. There is no ratings pressure at all from Sci-Fi unless the bottom falls out, as they are so far above what Sci-Fi expected it's not even funny.

Well that is definately good news for Week 2.
