Impact 19/05/06

The final prime time stop before Super Schiznit Sunday gave the fans plenty of opportunity to consider just how they should vote for the ballot!

In the main event of the evening, the six men who will step into hell in the Elimination Chamber this Sunday night battled in a stellar tag team match which ended when Jay Reso got an important pinfall victory over former World Champion Matt Morgan.

In other matches, in a 12 man battle royale involving all those who are in the ballot for a shot at Shelton Benjamin's UK title at SS, Mark Jindrak took the spoils, last eliminating his former tag team partner Sean O Haire. Annalise Roberts defeated Melina by pinfall in a match which, as you might expect, featured run-in's by Alexis Laree, Lisa Marie Veron, Christy Hemme and Carina. And following on from his impressive debut on Warfare (pinning Dean Roberts nonetheless) Oleg Prudius easily defeated Burchill. Once again after the match Burchill was despondant and he told the world that they'd seen the last of Paul Burchill.

In other news the hotly anticipated Peter Turner sit-down interview aired. In it he admitted that there had been problems in the past between him and IWF management, but that he was only interested in what would happen in the future. He said that despite all his achievments in the world of wrestling there was still one thing which had alluded him...the World Heavyweight Title. And he said that is what he was here to claim! There was also a Bikini parade for the benefit of the Big Gee (oh and also for the benefit of the fans so they could get a better idea as to who they should pick for the Big Gee's date at SSS). According to the fans in the arena, Torrie was the winner.

And there was also one final chance for Kurt Angle, Chris Kanyon and (a banged up) Dean Roberts to sway the fans' vote prior to SSS. But Randy Orton now seemed unpreturbed, saying that he was more confident that ever about retaining his title...although the smile was wiped from his face when he was attacked by all three men and subjected to the Angle Slam, Kanyon Kutter and The Scholarship in quick succession.
