-We see security and officials trying to separate AJ, Karen and Kurt. AJ says he will make sure Karen is safe, but she says she is here to do her job, whatever that is.

-Ray has the mic and says one punk down, one to go. Last week Rhino almost got his neck broken, and he hopes it is broken. Tonight, for Christian, they will stretcher you out back to your house. Everyone at home, don’t got to the fridge or make love to your ugly wife, because he says you will see something that you have never seen in a wrestling ring before. Tonight he makes history, as it will be the last night of Christian’s wrestling career.

Nash wants to prove who is running the show. JB says Nash has never volunteered to help people. Joe jokes about Nash’s bad knees and that Nash is watching SkinA-Max. Nash says he has earned his warrior stripes, and asks what he should be doing. JUDO GENE REFERENCE! Nash says he is conserving energy and Joe says Booker is getting ready to kick Nash’s ass.

-Frank Trigg stops the ring announcing to come to the ring. He calls out AJ and says last week there was a misunderstanding. He is bothered that AJ attacked him from behind, and in Trigg’s world he looks a man in the eye before he knocks him out. He says AJ needs to bring his candy ass out to the ring, or maybe Karen can fight the battle for him. We see AJ get pissed in the locker room and he is going to take care of business. Trigg asks the announcers where their prize boy is. AJ makes his way out to the ring and we see a split screen with Kurt harassing Karen. The Beautiful People are there as well. It hits the big screen as Trigg calls AJ stupid. The Beautiful People beat Karen down and brownbag her.

Ray smeared AJ’s blood on his face, he’s a sick bastard. Devon likes hurting people, and tonight they break his neck, for Kurt Angle. AJ is a home wrecker, and they hope to spill the blood of Cage and AJ all over the building. Devon says he could feel sorry, but he doesn’t. They warned AJ, but he keeps getting involved.

These people don’t give a damn about Joe, and he wants to know what they think about Joe screwing him at Slammiversary. He then calls Joe a punk ass paper champion. If it wasn’t for Nash, he would have been the champion. Booker demands an explanation. But then tells Joe to shut up because he doesn’t want to hear a lame excuse. Booker wants to know if Joe can look at himself in the mirror and say he beat Booker T. Did he beat a real man? Booker is heading to the back, to his locker room, and the door will be open. There is no door on his locker room. He will be waiting, and he wants Joe to show him what kind of champion he really is. Can you dig?

-TO THE BACK as Lauren is with Kurt Angle. She says Karen played a part in AJ beating him and that people think Kurt got what was coming to him. He calls her stupid, asks how many matches she had and such. Kurt says Spike thinks that hot chicks equal ratings. He got a letter from Spike, and Karen has signed a contract with Spike as a talent, and since there is no violence on women on TV, he can get fires for touching her. SO HE PUT A HIT OUT ON HER! There are a locker room full of women that don’t think she belongs and someone will come after her, and she won’t know when and where. By the end of the night, she’ll be o her back, while AJ lies right beside her, comatose. Karen will be embarrassed like he has been, tonight, will be her last night in TNA. It’s real.

-JB is with Davari, the captain of Team International. He speaks gibberish, they run subtitles, and he is here with his team to destroy all of the other teams. Rock on. Saeed is here and says Kong is NOT through punishing the people and next week, she goes back to work taking out one American at a time. Kong will not be kind or gentle anymore, blood will be shed on innocent victims.

There is a pecking order, and it is the Beautiful People and then everyone else. They try to brownbag her, and AJ is here to save her. AJ says they don’t want any trouble and to run to Kurt, and tell him anyone that wants to mess with Karen has to go through him first. Love says they are above this high school musical drama. But if AJ wants to have a real woman, he knows where to find them.

~NASH AND JOE DRAMA~
Lauren is with Nash in the back. He says that controversy and money breath the same air. They discuss Booker and Joe, and Nash says Booker has been doing this a long time. Booker touched him and that invited him into the match. Nash says she watched the match and she can decide if what Booker said was true.

Joe is out in the arena now and says since Nash is so opinionated that Nash can say what he has to say to Joe’s face. Nash says they can do this in the back, but Joe says he can say anything he wants in front of the fans and to the world. Shave the sugar off of your lips and say what you got to say big man! Nash says he might not want to hear what he has to say, and maybe the only reason Joe has the strap is because the big man took care of business. A simple thank you may be in order. Joe says Nash should thank him for allowing him to ride his coattails every week. Nash reminds him that he is in fact KEVIN NASH. Nash says that Joe can’t beat Booker T, and it is because it is mental and he is already in his head. You can’t beat Booker. Joe says Nash can stick that up his ass, and leaves.

-JB searched for Kurt Angle and finds him, meeting with Steiner and Rhaka Khan. He gets dismissed.

The Pay-Per-View kicks off with the TNA X Division Championship as “Maple Leaf Muscle” Petey Williams defended the gold against Kaz. Williams was wearing a protective face mask due to a recent injury he sustained. Rhaka Khan attempted to interfere, but it was all a cover for “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner to come down with a steel pipe. Steiner got the pipe to Williams, who cracked it over Kaz’s skull and bloodied him. Williams hit the Canadian Destroyer on Kaz for the win to successfully defend the title.

After the bout, Steiner got on the microphone to talk trash to Kaz, but the monster Abyss made his surprise return and hit the Black Hole Slam on Steiner, Williams and Rhaka Khan! Abyss then picked up Kaz on his shoulders and carried him to the back.

Eric Young interrupted Mike and Don at the commentary table, claiming that Elvis was coming to the event!

Backstage, JB interviewed Booker T about his chances in the King Of the Mountain match.

In the first of the two main-event matches, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles defeated Kurt Angle thanks to Karen Angle! It looked like Karen was actually on Kurt’s side and was going to slide a chair into him, but she yanked it away at the last moment - allowing AJ to make a comeback and beat Kurt with the Styles Clash! After the bout, Kurt snapped and demolished AJ With a chair. Fearful for her well-being, Karen left the ring - allowing Kurt and Tomko (who tried to interfere earlier) the opportunity to destroy The Phenomenal One. Angle put AJ in the Ankle Lock submission and refused to let go until referees and security pulled him off AJ.

In the main event King Of The Mountain match, Samoa Joe made history by becoming the first defending TNA World Heavyweight Champion to win the ladder match and retain the gold! However, the win came with controversy, as Booker T looked to have it won - but it was the special enforcer Kevin Nash that cost Booker his chance at the win!

Booker Believes TNA’s Gimmick Matches is Ruining the Company (allegedly)

NEWS: |TNA via PW| TNA had their conference call which featured Booker T answering questions. Here are some of his comments…

He likes playing a heel right now.

He does not know Lashley’s future plans as far as TNA goes.

He believes Michael Hayes is not a racist.

He believes, like many others, that Samoa Joe is the future.

TNA might be confusing fans with too many gimmick matches.

He would welcome Ultimate Warrior to the company.

Jump to read more of his comments.


So basically Booker T agrees that TNA’s constant use of gimmick matches is completely stupid. Fans are getting the wrong idea of what wrestling is since they’re seeing TNA put on gimmick matches every other week and on every PPV.

However, Booker T welcoming Warrior to TNA makes me question his honesty. In fact, I can’t believe a single word Booker says now.

Hot & Spicy
