TNA used the final episode of Impact in 2008 New Year’s Eve to look back on an incredible 2008. The night’s main event featured the first title defense of 2009, as Beer Money Inc. defend the tag belts against LAX.

Mike Tenay and Don West start the show on the entrance ramp and hype what’s on tap for this reflection episode of Impact. They also tout the tag team championship main event match between Beer Money Inc. and LAX.

1) Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett - Guest Enforcer: Mick Foley

In this match from TNA’s Bound For Glory 2008 PPV, Jeff Jarrett returned to TNA and Mick Foley had his first TNA PPV. The match itself was really good, going back and forth throughout. After a ref bump and a few chair shots from Kurt Angle, Foley got involved, unleashing Mr. Socko on the Olympic Gold Medalist and sending him into a guitar shot that earned Jarrett the victory.

Winner Via Pinfall - Jeff Jarrett

After the commercial break, a package was shown on the TNA Knockouts division, as well as the feud between Awesome Kong and Gail Kim.

2) TNA Knockouts Championship Match - Awesome Kong w/ Riesha Saeed vs. Gail Kim (C)

This was from a January 2008 broadcast of TNA Impact. Gail Kim took three Kong Bombs in this match that left her titleless and with a concussion. Gail Kim also put up a hell of a fight.This match began Kong’s first reign as TNA Knockouts Champion.

Winner Via Pinfall and NEW TNA Knockouts Champion - Awesome Kong

3) TNA Heavyweight Championship MMA Rules Six Sides of Steel Match - Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle (C)

This was from TNA’s Lockdown 2008 PPV. For weeks leading up to the match, vignettes were shown of Samoa Joe training under MMA conditions for the MMA rules that the match was being contested under. This was an excellent match that was capped off with Samoa Joe landing a Muscle Buster on Kurt Angle and earning his first TNA Heavyweight Championship.

Winner Via Pinfall and NEW TNA Heavyweight Champion - Samoa Joe

Mike Tenay and Don West were shown in the ring, hyping the rest of the show and the TNA Tag Team Championship main event.

4) TNA Heavyweight Championship Match - AJ Styles vs. Sting (C)

This was from TNA’s Turning Point 2008 PPV. This match was built around the Main Event Mafia vs. Frontline feud which is currently still going on in TNA, making this an excellent selection to round out the recap portion of this Impact episode. After a hard fought match, Sting walked away with the victory and retained the TNA Heavyweight Championship.

Mike Tenay and Don West hyped the TNA Tag Team Championship match, then pitched it to the ring for live action.

5) TNA Tag Team Championship Match - LAX (Homicide and Hernandez) vs. Beer Money Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) w/ Jackie Moore (C)

LAX was hot out the gate and took the fight right to Beer Money Inc, with Homicide hitting a Tope Con Hilo, then reaching into the beer cooler to grab some refreshments. Back from the commercial break, Beer Money Inc. had things going their way, distracting referee, Earl Hebner, and forcing a tag to Hernandez to go unseen. Eventually, Homicide made the hot tag and the match broke down, with both teams scoring several near falls. LAX had the match won, but Jackie Moore distracted Hebner, allowing Robert Roode to send Homicide into a steel chair shot that knocked him, giving Beer Money Inc. the pinfall victory.

Still wondering what TNA talent does after taping iMPACT! in Orlando? In addition to house shows, TNA talent also make personal appearances.

Until the recent injury of Mickey “Moose” Knuckles and Kurt Angle, TNA supplemented their income by jobbing out their talent internationally. TNA’s cash flow is reportedly very solid these days and that practice is apparently coming to an end.
