TNA Xplosion Report & Thoughts - July 16th, 2010

Hello and welcome to this week's report and thoughts for TNA Xplosion, that aired here in the UK on July 16th, 2010. All recaps in the show are from the episode of iMPACT! that aired on Spike Tv on July 8th. 
You can watch this week's episode here.
So, here goes: 

We get the Xplosion video, which you can check out here; as well as the usual welcome from JB and Taz. Not much to talk about here.


Tonight, we've got:


Taylor Wilde VS Sarita
Rob Terry ( c ) VS Magnus, for the TNA Global Championship
TNA Wrestling Rewind
Looks like some feud enders tonight. 


Rob Terry mentions that the British Invasion won a number of titles. And even though he was the bodyguard, he is still the one who is the Global champ; and will show he deserves to be tonight. Ok promo from Rob, he is definitely improving on the mic and in the ring. 


Recap of the the Jeff Hardy Vs Mr Anderson main event from iMPACT! 


Sarita says she is pissed off with Taylor because Taylor didn't care about the team. Sarita says she carried the team and that she is better than Taylor in every way, wrestling, dancing, etc. Sarita says she will prove it to the world tonight. Nice promo from sarita, and hopefully once this feud is over the two of them can go on to the Knockout's title. 


Taylor Wilde says she doesn't know why Sarita attacked her, also mentions maybe being the first ever tag champions went to Sarita's head. TW says she will work out her frustrations in the ring and Sarita will realise what TW is like as an enemy. I'm liking the new, angry side of Taylor Wilde. 


Magnus says he is the UK's only hope after the failure at the World Cup, and that when he wins the title and brings it home, there will be a parade and the day will be declared a national holiday. He says that RT can expect a Magnus that is: Re focused, re evaluated and a scientific stallion. Great promo from Magnus and he had me cracking up, as well as being extremely serious at the same time. 


We get a recap of Jeff Hardy and a make a wish kid, that was shown on TNA Today.


We then get an RVD interview (also shown on TNA Today) in which he talks about Victory Road and the tile match, as well as his opponents in the match. 


We then get a recap of Joe VS RVD, with Rob Van Dam's thoughts on the match from the same interview. 


Another recap, this time it's the Flair and Lethal promo.


Taylor Wilde VS Sarita 

Sarita continually offering Taylor her hand throughout the match, with TW excepting each time. Sarita wins when she rolls up TW, and uses the ropes for leverage. 
Nice match, and built well for their iMPACT! street fight.  

TNA Global Championship - Rob Terry ( c ) vs Magnus 

Magnus bails an number of times early on as RT uses his strength. Magnus works on the arm of Rob Terry after Terry missed Magnus and ran into the post on the outside. Magnus goes for a pump handle slam, but can't get Terry up. RT fights back and and finishes off Magnus with a freakbuster. 
Good match. Rob Terry has definitely improved a lot, and hopefully now Magnus goes on to better things. Loved JB name checking Welsh people, such as Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta Jones and Charlotte Church, before Taz makes a joke about everyone in Wales having the surname Jones.
