TNA Impact!

Abyss vs. Brother Runt

10,000 Thumbtacks Match

In what was another lackluster week in wrestling matches on television, Abyss and Brother Runt (the former Spike Dudley) clearly stole the show on TNA Impact!.

The stage was set for 10,000 thumbstacks. After a brutal beating, with Raven watching on the whole time, Abyss hit the Blackhole Slam and sent Brother Runt into the thumbtacks. Abyss would pick up the win, but then try for the icing on the cake. There were two tables set up on top of each other near the entrance tube and there had been thumbtacks sprinkled all over the top one. Abyss tried to send Brother Runt through that mess to close out the show, but Raven stopped him. Raven fought off Abyss and eventually send the big monster through the tables and into the thumbtacks as well. It was truly a "Whoa!!" moment.

Because of the placement of Raven in this match, it took a violent and bloody feud and made it that much more interesting. Good job, TNA. This is the match of the week by far.
