TNA Impact Wrestling Results: Highlights and Analysis for February 9
By Dj Beal
Brandi Rhodes Talks About Rosemary’s Challenge
Brandi Rhodes is done with the mind games and just wants to fight. She wants nothing to do with psychological warfare because that is a battle that she cannot win. Rhodes calls out Rosemary and gets the rest of the Decay but the mind games don’t stop. Rosemary talks about what the Decay saw in Brandi but the Decay comes from everyone either by choice or force. Crazy Steve and Abyss surround Brandi and Rhodes’ funeral date is announced. Rosemary uses the guillotine to choke out Brandi Rhodes. Moose comes to her aid but the damage had already been done.
It is nice to see Brandi back in TNA and Moose adds a different wrinkle with Cody away. I wonder if this will start a feud between Cody and Moose or stay with the Decay. This could bring Cody back to team with Moose and even the odds against the Decay. Either way, Moose has put himself into a difficult situation with the Decay on his bad side.
Brandi issues a challenge for a mixed tag team match next week with the diabolical group.
Aron Rex vs Robbie E
Result: Rex def. Robbie E via pinfall
Rex speaks to the Impact Zone and they immediately turn on him because he gets Spud to sing his name multiple times. The last time was interrupted by Robbie E and Rex takes his time considering he does not condone violence. Rex starts the match with a slap similar to the Women’s Slap that would end the match in old WWE video games. Aron Rex retreats for the most part but Robbie E starts to attack when the match got back to the ring.
Robbie E certainly has the offensive advantage as Aron Rex wants to stay on the defensive. Even Rockstar Spud got more offense in as he took advantage while the referee’s back was turned. Whenever Robbie regained his momentum, Spud would put a stop to it. Spud’s involvement would lead to a Rex victory after the Knockout Punch.
The transformation of Aron Rex has been one of the greates things I’ve ever seen. It is so over the top that you can’t help but laugh. His moveset has evolved with his character meaning that he doesn’t go offensive very often. The major move that he kept is the KO punch with the rings on his right hand.
