TNA Tag Team Title Ultimate X Match: The Motor City Machineguns vs. Generation Me.

*yawn*

Chris Sabin beat Jeremy Buck in a good match. Generation Me attacked Sabin after the match and took his belt.

Generation Me come out and cut a promo saying the TNA Tag Team championships are supposed to be defended every 30 days but after what they did to Alex Shelley, there’s no way that will happen. They demand Chris Sabin come out and hand them the tag team belts. Sabin hits the ring and attacks them but is overwhelmed and laid out.

Yesterday Dave Meltzer reported on WrestlingObserver.com that there was some confusion on this match. While it was heavily promoted on TV, TNA’s website at some point was listing the match as MCMG vs Generation Me. I emailed Dave Meltzer who told me that London Brawling were removed for a “disciplinary” reason. However by Saturday TNA’s website once again said that the Guns’ opponents were London Brawling.

Also it should be noted that Generation Me were in Los Angeles last night for PWG’s BOLA tournament which continues tonight. However at BOLA last night:

Opener was supposed to be Max vs. Jeremy Buck in a battle of Generation Me but they came out and said they weren’t wrestling each other. Excalibur, the MC and voice of PWG, tried to force them to do it, but they just double superkicked the ref. So the Cutler Brothers ran out and it turned into an impromptu tag match. I can only presume that means the Bucks are working the PPV Sunday. This also explains a tournament with nine first-round matches. Generation Me are far more entertaining as heels than they are as babyfaces in TNA. Cutlers made a comeback, they traded about six million nearfalls, then the Cutlers got the win with a combo stuff piledriver. All-action opener that the fans loved.

Later Observer reported this:

Nick & Matt Jackson (Generation Me) were pulled out of the Battle of Los Angeles tournament, but did wrestle in a tag team match tonight in Reseda. They were to wrestle each other, with the winner advancing to tomorrow’s second night of the tournament.

That coincides with another report we got from TNA today that Desmond Wolfe & Magnus are off the PPV and The Motor City Machine Guns are facing Generation Me instead. We had been told that yesterday, and it had been on the web site. However, the web site changed the listing to Magnus & Wolfe, who were the scheduled opponents for the last month and the team the Machine Guns did the angle with on Thursday’s TV. At the TNA house show tonight, nobody knew what was going on regarding that match.

UGH! If this match is changed, I am going to be SO disappointed. This was the ONLY match I was looking forward to on this PPV.

Desmond Wolfe & Magnus w/Chelsea come to the ring. Wolfe says while Beer Money and the Motor City Cap Guns have been killing each other, him and Magnus have been proving themselves on Xpolosions and will show at No Surrender. Magnus calls MCMG a couple of hobbits sitting around the TV playing video games. He says everybody should be embarrassed to have MCMG as their tag champions but he and Wolfe are here to save the day. The Motor City Machine Guns’ music hits and they join Wolfe and Magnus in the ring. Aex Shelley asks the crowd if they think Magnus’ hat is stupid. He congratulates Wolfe and Magnus for becoming #1 contenders. Shelley says if they think they killed themselves in 5 matches with Beer Money to just lose the belts to them at No Surrender then they’re not thinking straight. Sabin says yes, they do like to dabble in some video games and yes, he does find Ms. Pac Man sexy you douche bags. Sabin says the only tag teaming they’ve been doing is with each other. Wolfe says he gets it, they’re calling they were supposed to be a couple of poofs yet they’re the ones with a girl. Shelley asks if they’re such big men, why does Chesea always have an unhappy look on her face. Wolfe tells Chelsea to tell these wankers what real men they are. Chelsea says if there was a sword fight right now, his weapon would fall short. Wolfe and Magnus attack MCMG and wipe them both out.

Generation Me vs. TNA Tag Team Champions The Motor City Machine Guns, non title. Winner via neckbreaker/frog splash combo, The Motor City Machine Guns.

The spoilers I read didn’t mention the Guns on this show. I am hoping they at least get a backstage promo.

Best of Three Falls: TNA Tag Team champions The Motor City Machineguns vs. Beer Money. The first fall may have been the best tag wrestling I’ve seen live all year. The Guns are over huge. There is some awesome wrestling here. Beer Money captures the first fall after a Storm lungblower on Shelley. The Guns come back to even it up with Made in Detroit. They hit an insane dive sequence with even Roode nailing a dive sequence. The Guns finally score the pin with several Made in Detroits. The work was awesome and the crowd reactions made this out of this world. This match was ABSOLUTELY OFF THE CHARTS. I only hope it translates as well on TV.

++++++

Beer Money vs Motor City Machine Guns (2 out of 3 falls)

Fall 1: Roode pinned Shelley in 8:03 with the DWI. Really good action

Fall 2: Shelley pinned Roode in 1:25 after the MCMG combo neckbreaker and top rope splash (probably has a name that I don’t know)

Fall 3: Sabin pinned Storm in 6:52 after two more of the neckbreaker/splash thingies. Guns retain the titles. The crowd chanted “Match of the Year” and “Thank you Dixie.” Why would you thank Dixie? Thank the wrestlers!

*In a “Capture the X” style Ultimate X Match, it’s Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machineguns. Robert Roode cuts a promo saying that The Guns have proven they are great and even though it’s their type of match, Beer Money are taking the titles tonight. The Guns respond that the only way they are taking the belts is from their cold, dead hands. There are lots of great spots to open the match and some nice back and forth wrestling. Beer Money gets the upper hand but can’t get the X because Roode is afraid of heights and Storm appears to have had a little too much to drink. Another great match between the two teams, with the end being Alex Shelley sliding acrossd the ropes while Roode walked across like a tight rope. They fought near the X and Roode got crotched and bumped into the ring while Shelley grabbed the X. They are tied 2-2.

The 5th match will take place on August 12th

*Beer Money vs. Motor City Machineguns in a Steel Cage (Match 3 of 5 match series). They are doing traditional tag rules inside the Cage. Roode is busted open. The crowd is into this one big time. The roof came off the Impact Zone after Alex Shelley flew from the top of the cage to land on Beer Money. James Storm nailed Roode with the beer bottle accidentally and both members of BM were pinned. 2-1 now and the Guns are still alive. Awesome match.
