“

AJ and Joe make their way out to the ring to kick off the show. AJ says that he is glad Mick Foley is here, but with all do respect, thanks but no thanks. They will fight this war on their own. He has been here for 6-years and has watched this company grow from Nashville to here in Orlando. He has grown along with the company, but as they grow so do the talent. Sting, Nash, Angle and Booker T. Maybe they have forgotten, but three of those guys caused a company to go out of business. This is not about the Main Event Mafia; this is about TNA growing. Last week they grew to HD and went to Vegas. Joe and AJ also got bloodied up in HD. What bothered AJ is that some of the guys in the back that are like family to him didn’t come out and do a damn thing. He knows what they are going through. They haven’t had the main event. You have to take what you want, not wait for it. He asks who has the balls to come and stand with he and Joe.

Jay Lethal is the first to make his way to the ring, followed by Petey, Creed, ODB and Eric Young. ODB could likely take all of them. Joe now says he appreciates them coming out, but before he can continue the Motor City Machine Guns make their way to the ring. Shelley says the sheep came out to be brainwashed by Joe. They aren’t biting, and they say that Joe needs to sell them on why they should fight. Joe then says it is their war, and you are either in or out. Joe also says listen and look in his eyes, this is about all of their futures in the ring and it is in their best interests to fight against the people that have kept them out of the main event. Shelley says they won’t bits and that Joe doesn’t care about any of them. Shelley says Joe hasn’t done anything for him, so Joe slaps him.

The music for the Main Event Mafia hits and they come out to the stage. Angle says that they (in the ring) are a disgrace to themselves, the business, TNA and all of the fans that paid money to see the MEM. Angle then says that THEY are the family here, and they are the mafia, the Main Event Mafia. 75-years of experience that demands respect. They didn’t ask for the war, they just wanted a thank you. Nash then says that he tried to teach Joe how to act towards the stars, but all Joe did was spit in his face. He then says Hall didn’t show up that night because Joe wasn’t worth giving the rub too, and Nash now agrees. If they want a war, they got a war. Booker now has the mic and says to look at the bums, how they dress. In his country if you look and cluck like a chicken, it is a chicken. If you talk about the MEM, you do it to their face and the war will begin here tonight. By the end of the year, there will be none of them left. It is ALL about the FIVE. It’s all about the FIVE.

-JB is with Jarrett backstage, and Jarrett says AJ and Joe are ready for the war and will fight it themselves. Foley is here and apparently he has something to say tonight, and he will say it to Sting tonight. Jarrett then says he has to go take a Kurt. Foley tells JB that Sting is an investment and he needs to keep it on line.

-Lauren is with The Beautiful People and Cute Kip. They remind her that they are in HD and make fun of Lauren’s looks. Next they mock Hemme and ask when she became a wrestler. Hemme should stick to the pages of Playboy with her fake boobs and BOTOX doggy face. Unless she wants a makeover, which they will gladly help her with. Sky asks of ODB is a DUDE or a TRANNY! TREMENDOUS! Just because ODB OD’D on Ugly Pills doesn’t make them the bad girls, it isn’t their fault that they are beautiful; they were just born that way.

Christy Hemme and ODB vs. The Beautiful People (Love and Sky) w/Cute Kip

Sky and Hemme to begin. Sky slams her down, lays the boots to her and then gets a side headlock. Hemme escapes, gets a leg trip and then an arm bar. Tag to ODB, double ax smash and Love tags in. Drop toehold by ODB, a shoulder block and then a cover for 2. ODB works the arm, tag to Hemme and she works the arm. Love with the forearm, Sky kicks her and then stun guns her off the ropes. Spinkick by Love, she then slams he head off of the mat repeatedly and then tags in Sky. Double team elbow drop to Hemme and then Sky chokes her out. Sky with kicks to Hemme, tags in Love and she sends Hemme to the corner, but then eats a big boot. They trade shots, off the ropes and they charge, collide and grab the hair and take each other down. Tags to Sky and ODB, clotheslines by ODB, to the corner and a corner breast press to Sky. Sack of shit slam, kip up, RUSTY TROMBONE CELEBRATION! Powerslam to Sky and that gets 2 as Love breaks it up. Hemme tosses Love, and then doves off of the apron onto Kip, who catches her. ODB then gets a wedgie-assisted rock bottom to Sky for the win.

Winner: ODB and Christy Hemme @ 5:00 via pin
# Not bad at all. Hemme and Sky hurt things a bit, but ODB and Love were there to work.
RATING: *¾

-Lauren is with the Machine Guns. They go to meet Joe and say they need to start over. The only way to progress is to move forward. They understand what he is trying to do and say that they are in. Joe says he has trust issues, so when the shots are fired, he’ll see if the “Guns” are firing back.

-JB is with Eric Young. He has been there in TNA for 5-years, and there is a lot on the line right now. He says Kurt hurt his friends last week, and tonight he shows us who the real Eric Young is.

RATING: *½

-After the match Beer Money beats down Young, but the Guns are now out to make the save! They clear the ring and then help Young to his feet.

# A great little TV match that accomplished exactly what it should have and that was to show off the talents of all four guys and get the Guns a win. Volador and Tanahashi can stay in TNA forever with no complaints from me.
RATING: ***

-Bashir is PISSED that Tanahashi and Volador lost the match. He heads into the ring and puts the bad mouth on them. Rhino sneaks in and GORE, GORE, GORE to Bashir.

-Lauren is with Christian Cage. He is here to accept the stipulation for the Legend’s Title match. Booker just invented the title and never beat anyone for it. He doesn’t need or want to pick a side, even if he wanted too, it wouldn’t be the MEM. Booker calls himself a legend but doesn’t know who he is. Cage will always be the champ, and he will take the title at Turning Point, and stay on HIS side.

Winners: AJ Styles and Samoa Joe @ 12:00 via pin
# Not great and slow at times, but a serviceable match with the right decision.
RATING: **

-Some of the young stars come out to celebrate with AJ and Joe.

-Lauren is with Abyss and Morgan. Abyss says thanks for asking how he is, he is just fine, a flesh wound. Morgan debates this and says he was set on fire. Morgan says he wasn’t mentally in the match with Angle and it cost him. He says Abyss is not ready for the match and he isn’t allowed to be out there. Abyss says no shit Sherlock, he has not forgot what Angle did to him; he felt it and it didn’t feel good. He then laughs.

-Tenay and West discuss what has happened thus far tonight.

-We get a video package on the stars of TNA. Cross the Line.

-And now we get a video recap of the end of last week’s Impact and Foley’s declaration.

-JB is with Real Estate Steve. They talk about the meeting with Foley, and Real Estate Steve says that no one has told him that Foley is officially his boss. He will go into the meeting with an open mind, and hopes that Foley doesn’t close it.

~FOLEY and REAL ESTATE STEVE…TOGETHER AGAIN~

Foley puts over the new Impact Zone, and says it looks pretty damn good. And with one week on the job, big dividends are being paid. He reminds us to vote, and then says to tell their friends about TNA in HD. As the executive shareholder, he is announcing two main events for Turning Point. The first is Nash vs. Joe. The second is Sting defending the TNA title against AJ Styles. Speaking of the champion, he politely asks Sting to come to the ring.

Sting, in suit, comes to the ring to meet with Foley. Foley says this seems strange since this is the first time in 14-years that they have been face to face. He says Sting put him on the map in 1991. Not many people heard of Cactus jack until they blazed their way hardcore style onto the National Scene. Foley respects him, but says it was difficult to see him with the MEM. Why Sting Why? Foley doesn’t need a lecture, but TNA is on the verge of something big. All of the pieces are there. They have AJ, Joe, the X-Division and the way he sees it, with Sting as the champion and a man that enjoys respect, he is the glue that holds it all together. But you are not acting like glue; you are a wedge. What do you have to say? Sting wanted to be the glue, they have the same intentions. But Joe, AJ and others rejected what he had to say. Sting says Foley respects Funk, and that is missing here in TNA. That next generation will eventually get in Foley’s face and disrespect him as well. They agree to do what they have to do here in TNA, and Sting then says this is NOT Foley’s war, it is his.

-JB is with Angle, who shoves him away and says JJ is hiding behind Abyss. Angle will go through every talent until only JJ is left. Angle always gets what he wants, gold medal, WWE, WCW and TNA champion. He wants JJ in the ring, and he will go where he needs to get JJ, and JJ knows he is capable of anything.

-Turning Point Card:

Kurt Angle vs. Abyss

They circle, Angle backs off and goes to the apron. Angle back in, Abyss shoots him off the ropes and gets a tackle. Abyss shoves him back down, rights and lefts to Angle and then the ref separates them. Off the ropes and a clothesline by Abyss and Angle to the floor. Abyss follows as Angle walks away and they brawl up the ramp. Rights by Abyss, rolls Angle back in the ring and then Angle attacks the knee of Abyss. Off the ropes and Abyss with a side slam and cover for 2. Abyss then clothesline Angle to the floor. Angle tries to escape through the crowd, Abyss follows and we head to a commercial @ 3:00.

Back from commercial @ 6:00 as they continue to brawl in the crowd. Angle gets whipped to the wall. They brawl back to the ring; Angle then attacks the knee of Abyss and then tries to soften him up. Angle in control and mocks Abyss a bit and then continues to clip the knee of the big man. Angle charges Abyss, who gets a double thrust to the throat and takes Angle down. Rights by Angle now, Abyss does not approve of this, fires up and then gets a big boot on Angle. Rights by Abyss, corner clothesline follows and then the shock treatment by Abyss! 1…2…NO! Abyss calls for the chokeslam, Angle counters it, rolls through and gets the ankle lock! Abyss escapes and then chokeslams Angle! 1…2…NO! Angle back to the knee, ANGLE SLAM! 1…2…NO! Angle goes up top now and Abyss POWERBOMBS him off of the top! 1…2…NO! Abyss thought it was three, argues with the ref as Angle then gets a chair. NAILS Abyss and we actually get a DQ~!

Winner: Abyss @ 12:00 via DQ
# They were having a damn fine match here, Angle and Abyss have a chemistry that just works for them. Abyss’ not selling the leg down the stretch hurt things in my opinion.
RATING: ***

-Back in the ring, straps down and the ankle lock by Angle on Abyss. Abyss escapes, and Angle attacks the burns on the back of Abyss! Ankle lock again by Angle, and Matt Morgan is out. He works over Angle, Carbon Footprint by Morgan! Booker and Nash rush the ring, Nash has a chair and Nash lays out Morgan with the chair. Nash nails Abyss as well! Nash chokes out Abyss with the chair and Joe, AJ and the young guns army are now out! But SCOTT STEINER IS BACK! PIPE SHOTS FOR ALL! Nash, Booker and Angle are back in and they continue to destroy the young guns. Sting now makes his way to the ring, picks up AJ who spits in his face and Sting drops him with the scorpion death drop. DON’T FUCK WITH REAL ESTATE STEVE! The Main Event Mafia stands tall.

*End scene.

-LIVE and in HD from the JOINT at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino!

-We have spiffy new opening stuff for the show.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show and run down the card.

-The lighting is crazy bright as opposed to when WEC runs shows there.

Christy Hemme vs. Velvet Sky w/Angelina Love and Cute Kip

Hemme spears Sky and starts to deliver mounted punches. To the corner and forearms by Hemme, she gets backed off and then gets a monkey flip. Love sprays Hemme in the eyes as Kip distracts the ref, and Sky takes control. Hair mare by Sky and Tenay says Angle will also have an announcement to change the wrestling world tonight. Sky chokes out Hemme, chops follow and then to the corner and then Hemme tosses her off. Sky landed badly. Sky then misses a charge, clothesline by Hemme. Double sledge follows and then Hemme ducks a clothesline, a boot misses and then she slams her down by the hair. Hemme slaps Kip, and Hemme hits the flying fire crotch leg drop for the win.

Winner: Christy Hemme @ 3:00 via pin
# It wasn’t pretty and certainly not what I would have kicked off the show with.
RATING: *

-Tenay and West hype the rest of the card and hype the text voting for the gauntlet match.

-JB is with Kurt Angle. Angle called him last night because he has an announcement. Angle says after seeing JJ and Foley talk last week, he decided he had to do something to change wrestling forever. So he made some calls to some important people and by midnight last night the deal was done. JB asks what it is and Booker is there with Sharmell. Booker says they are the best of the best (great flick) and he discusses the lion running in packs. They are the lions of TNA and they will take what they want. Nash is also there and says he walked away from TNA, but thought about it and says money, power and respect are what wrestling is all about. Joe gave he and Hall no respect. Nash says with gray hair comes wisdom and Joe spit in his face. Joe made it personal and that is why he came back. JB says they are legends and says that he has seen the uprising from the younger stars. But the odds are against them. Angle says the business was built on honor, dignity and respect. They are three, but there is one more. He will go into battle with heavy artillery. Angle reveals the fourth man, is it Real Estate Steve! Sting (in a suit, no paint) says they tried individually; the nice way, they just wanted respect. Between them all they have 75-years of history in the business. They love the business and they asked nicely, but now they demand. It is all business. Sting leaves as Angle makes a toast, to the Main Event Mafia. Booker constantly barking in with “RESPECT” was hilarious.

-We go to Lauren outside waiting on Foley to arrive. She hypes the live HD broadcast, and the announcement from Foley. Foley arrives in a VW BUG~! Tremendous. Foley says the clutch is sticky, but it gets good gas mileage. He will wait until the place is full and the people are ready. Foley says it is BIG, real BIG!

~BOOKER’S BIG REVEAL~

Booker makes his way to the ring and Sharmell and the briefcase are with him. The time has come to reveal something that will change the landscape of TNA and wrestling. This is the one thing that will immortalize him forever. Sharmell holds the case and Booker pulls out a bag, and reveals a championship belt. Red leather, old school NWA there. This is the TNA Legend’s Championship. His title. So he says to us that he introduces us to Booker, the TNA Legend’s Champion.

Christian Cage makes his way to the ring, because he does NOT approve! Cage says when he hears legend it means something different to him, and a legend isn’t a guy that looks like a 2nd rate little John impersonator with a ridiculous accent. A legend is a person whose track record is so great that they command respect. He says Booker has all of that but the respect part. And now he has this title, a title he invented and didn’t beat anyone for and acts like everyone in the back and the fans to respect that. Booker says that tonight is a celebration, and asks Cage a question after Cage mocks him again. Booker is serious and Cage continues to mock him. Booker is about to bust him punk ass! Booker apologizes and says it is a celebration. Tonight is about Cage, and Cage is a legend in his country and he should join the Main Event Mafia. Cage appreciates the invitation, and he isn’t interested. But how about Booker actually defend that title, against Cage at Turning Point. Cage doesn’t want or need the title, but when he wins it, it will piss Booker off. And that’s a challenge. Booker says that Cage is right, he is a legend and he deserves a title shot and he agrees to the match. But if Booker wins, he joins the Main Event Mafia, no questions.

-Lauren is with Morgan and Abyss. They hype the tag text match, and Morgan says Abyss will not go to the ring. Abyss says he is fine, but Morgan disagrees. The doctor said that he had 3rd degree burns to 10-percent of his body. He is lucky to be here. Morgan is his friend, and he will not allow it. Abyss says they are dear friends, but Abyss had a special session this week and he realized that he has to think for himself. The burns that cover him, the puss filled bleeding and singed skin…Matt, it hurts now but it will be ok. It will heal. But they need to worry about the gauntlet…and, the unfinished business with Angle. Morgan yells at him and says Abyss will not go to the ring, because he has it from here. Abyss says he has to do something about Kurt as Morgan leaves.

-JB is with JJ. They discuss the show and JB asks about the announcement. JJ won’t spoil it for Foley. Angle wants a rematch at Turning Point, and JJ says you don’t always get what you want. He then blows off JB.

TNA X-Division Title Match: Sheik Abdul Bashir © vs. Jay Lethal

Bashir attacks at the bell and we’re underway. Rights by Bashir as he keeps Jay down, snap mare and the chinlock by Bashir. Elbows by Jay, off the ropes and a head scissors by Jay. Off the ropes and a back flip and dropkick by Jay. SUICIDE DIVE by Jay! They brawl around the ring, Jay up top and MISSES the top rope elbow. WMD by Bashir and that is all. Ok…

Winner: Sheik Abdul Bashir @ 2:00 via pin
# Um…great for 2-minutes, but that was insanely short and not even worth having on the show.
RATING: *

-Lauren is with Joe and AJ. She discusses the Main Event Mafia, and AJ says they have the numbers game and doesn’t know how it came to this. TNA came to Joe, AJ, Low Ki and Daniels 6-years ago and said they would have the chance to succeed. But now they are falling apart. He doesn’t know how it comes to this, but it isn’t about them, it is about TNA. They will go out and prove it. Joe says Nash is a scumbag and says to look at him, look what you created! Frankenstein is coming home and he will hunt Nash, and end his career for taking his title. If any of his new friends get in the way, he’ll take their career as well.

-We get a video package for Suicide.

-Tenay says something is going on backstage, and we see Rhino bitching at Bashir and he hates his political crap. Rhino accepts his open challenge and he will deport him in a body bag, BITCH! Bashir low blows Rhino, chokes him out and then throws a light on him. Lauren screams and asks if he is ok. I would venture to say, “no.”

-We get a cross the line video package.

Tag Team Hard Rock Hardcore Text-Off Gauntlet Non-Title Match: Team 3D vs. Beer Money w/Miss Jackie vs. LAX vs. Matt Morgan and Abyss

We have 60-second intervals here and James Storm is the first man out. The second man is Brother Ray. There are ladders and stuff around the ring, HARDCORE BABY! Now you can text about the weapons we want legal (Tables, Ladders or Chairs). Ray and Storm brawl, chops by Ray and Clotheslines by Ray, a slam and he does a little dance. Ray tries to toss Storm, fails and here is #3, Robert Roode. We have the old 2-1 advantage here as Beer Money beats down Ray. Ray reverses a whip, eats a boot and then the blockbuster. Double suplex…BEER! MONEY! Fucking hell these guys rule! #4 is Devon. Devon in and cleans house on Beer Money. Shoulder block to Roode, neck breaker to Storm. To the corner, Devon avoids the charge and gets a clothesline. Sideslam/leg drop combo by Team 3D as the crowd chants for tables. #5 is LAX’s Hernandez! Slingshot double clothesline to Team 3D. Big backdrop to Strom, shoulder block to Roode. Hernandez catches Storm, SITOUT MEX BOMB~! Corner mounted punches to Devon, Ray over and has him on his shoulders…DUDLEYVILLE DEVICE~! #6 is Homicide!

Hernandez with the boot, charges in and a backdrop by Hernandez and Hernandez falls to the floor, he hit the steps though. Bad landing. We’re down to Ray, Roode and Morgan. Abyss is in at #8, Morgan is tosses and now Beer Money attacks Abyss. The legal weapon will be the table. Devon gets the tables, a but I am not sure who the final two teams are. Devon has lighter fluid out, that’s the lighter fluid you use for the BBQ grill! The crowd tosses in lighters! Abyss is in and he starts to clean house to a chorus of boos. Abyss has a lighter…LOW BLOW by Devon. They toss Abyss, Roode was never tossed and we are down to the last two teams as we switch to tag rules.

3D vs. Beer Money begins as they crowd chants for FIRE! 3D on Roode through the table! 1…2…Jackie pulls out the ref! Storm in, spits beer in Devon’s face and then gets the pin.

Winner: Beer Money @ 10:00 via pin
# It was actually A LOT of fun until the confusion about who was left. I hate these tag gauntlet matches because 9 times out of 10, the final segment is under two-minutes, like this time.
RATING: **½

-Back from commercial and Tenay and West hype the rest of the show.

~KURT’S ANGLE~

Angle makes his way to the ring. They show Dave Penzer, still black and blue from the attack of Angle last week. Angle talks up the Main Event Mafia will change the face of wrestling forever. But now he is out here to say that he has not forgot about Jeff Jarrett. He also doesn’t care about Foley, he wants to get his hands on JJ tonight. Hell, he will pay a visit to his girls, he doesn’t give a shit and he wants JJ to come to the ring and be a man.

So here comes JJ. JJ says for the last time, it is over and done. JJ says they have the best roster, and there is no reason for JJ to be in the ring. He will pass the torch and maybe Angle should as well. It is about AJ, Joe, Lethal and The Machine Guns. Angle says that he IS TNA and the greatest wrestler that has ever lived. And all he wants to do is whoop JJ’s ass here tonight. JJ says Angle will have to take no for an answer, and there is a locker room full of guys that want their hands on him. Abyss is there in the ring. Abyss drops Angle with a shot, low blow by Angle, charges Abyss and then escapes the black hole slam. How the hell does a dude the size of Abyss sneak up on you? Hell, he likely smells like BBQ.

-We see Foley chilling backstage.

-We get a Kurt Angle video package.

-And now a video package for Awesome Kong and the Knockouts Title Match.

-Lauren is with Saeed and Kong. Saeed silences her and asks how many times does Kong have to destroy? Kong is sick of Wilde and wants new blood. After tonight, no more. Kong will take back what belongs to her, the title. Wilde, after tonight it will be your LAST MATCH PERIOD! You are finished…

-JB is with Wilde and she says she can only go out and do what she had done. She knows what Kong can do and she is the champion. If Kong wants to beat her, she’ll have to end her career to do so.

# Really good for the time given, but again too short for a hyped title match. It feels so anticlimactic.

-Sting, Nash, Booker and Angle all talk backstage.

-Nick Bockwinkle is ringside, taking in the show.

# It was ok, but got disjointed by the commercial break. The beat down afterwards was solid.
RATING: *½

-Joe is busted open and we caught the ref picking up the blade. AJ fights off the Mafia, and Joe gets the clutch on Nash. Angle and Booker are out now and Booker levels AJ with his belt. AJ is busted open as well and the Main Event Mafia destroys the TNA Originals.

-Mick Foley walks.

~FOLEY CHANGES THE FACE OF WRESTLING…or DOES HE?~

Mick Foley makes his way to the ring. He thanks the crowd and says it is major declaration time. So what he will do is explain the meeting with JJ. JJ said Foley made a lot of money in his career, he worked on top, big PPV’s and #1 best selling books. He has made a lot of money and discusses the rumors that Foley was the cheapest wrestler that ever lived. He admits it, there isn’t a lot that goes into his hair, cars and wardrobe, well, and he isn’t Pailin-esque if you will. So JJ said since you spent almost none of your money, maybe you might want to make an investment.

This once again brings out Angle, Booker, Sting, Nash and Sharmell. Angle heads to the ring as the rest back him up. Foley says Angle is messing things up, and Angle says that last week Foley was going to take a Kurt and wipe his Angle. Angle head butts Foley! He asks is he thinks it is funny and says no one is laughing now. Foley gets up and says it IS funny, you see, JJ was not offering him a stock tip. JJ asked him to INVEST in TNA! He is now a major shareholder in TNA, so it gets funny because Kurt just head butted his new boss! And right here, LIVE in Las Vegas, that as his new boss is to say that Kurt Angle…YOU’RE…FII..YOU’RE FREE! You’re free to work here if you want, but Foley didn’t throw his money away. He loves and believes in TNA, so they had their ups and downs, but he cares about TNA and the business and believes in all of us, AJ, Joe, he believes in the X-Division guys that made TNA something. Kurt should remember, something major was about to happen when they were in WWE. They were all there when the business exploded and they are on the verge of that once again, to be involved in something very big. And he asks Angle, “Do you want to be a part of history…or do you want to be history?” The choice is up to you.

-We get confetti and Foley’s music plays. The Main Event Mafia does not approve of this at all.

*End scene.

-We get a video package from Bound for Glory, and footage of Jeff Jarrett saying that his appearance at Bound for Glory was “one and done.”

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show and run down the card for tonight. They then say Abyss was hospitalized after the PPV. He is fine, but won’t be here tonight.

Sheik Abdul Bashir w/X-Division Title and Sonjay Dutt w/SoCal Val vs. The Motor City Machineguns (Sabin and Shelley)

Dutt and Bashir are better know as “Team Wellness.” Sabin and Dutt to begin, they blow a head scissors spot early, Dutt dance and Sabin gets a leg sweep and back splash. Dutt and Bashir sent to the floor, and Sabin with a senton dive. Sabin and Dutt back in, Bashir trips up Sabin and Dutt takes control. That doesn’t last long at all as Alex tags in, superkick to Bashir and then a flapjack deal to Dutt. Suicide dive to Bashir, Val trips him up as Sabin flies in on Dutt. Misses a charge, boots by Dutt who goes up top, eats a kick by Sabin and then a top rope RANA by Sabin follows. Frog Splash by Alex and that is all.

Winners: The Motor City Machineguns @ 3:45 via pin
# A few small issues, but fine for the little time given, actually, fine for the ridiculous amount of time they got. The Guns get a rare win, and then get owned by Angle. That’s a push.
RATING: *½

-Kurt Angle comes to the ring and beats the shit out of the Guns. Tosses Shelley, tosses Sabin and then goes to the floor and throws sick clotheslines and levels then. Back in the ring and an Angle Slam on Dutt. Bashir actually escaped all of that. He tells Jarrett that he won the battle with the help from Foley, and there is a war that will wage. No one sneaks a win like that and leaves wrestling. Angle asks if he is a champion or a candy ass hick from Nashville. He says he will run through the TNA talent until he get to JJ, and all of the blood will be on JJ’s hands.

-JB meets with Nash as he arrives. Nash says he wasn’t there as a surprise, someone paid for the ticket. He has been waiting 10-months for this, Joe disrespected him and Scott Hall, and he got his payback. It’s all about Nash 4 life now.

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-We get a video package on the Joe vs. Sting title match from Bound for Glory.

~THE NEW CHAMP IS HERE~

Sting makes his way to the ring and says he stands here as the new champion. But he knows that it is not him that should be here. It should be Joe. Sting says that he knows at BFG Joe was the better wrestler, and he IS the better wrestler. Joe, the old man bit off more than he could chew, he admits that. Sting didn’t know up from down, but he knew that 10-minutes into the match Joe had him beat, and could have pinned him. But Joe chose not to, but he chose to MOCK him and his generation. Joe tried to embarrass him, humiliate him and end his career. The bottom line is that due to Joe’s disrespect, Sting is now the champion. When Sting had Flair in that position he took the win and walked away. The title is his and it will stay that way. So then he walked into the dressing room and some shook his hand, and some didn’t. AJ didn’t shake his hand…because he’s friends with Joe.

AJ now makes his way to the ring, and says that he is friends with Joe and they have been for a long time. And if Sting would listen to what some have to say is because he doesn’t listen, Sting showed no respect. All he talks is lack of respect, but AJ is on the road making a living and making money for the company while Sting sits at home spending money. AJ is away from his wife and kids, while Sting is coaching his son’s football team. In 2002 it was Low Ki, Daniels and AJ and Joe that build this house. Their blood, sweat and tears hold it together. Just because Sting hangs a fancy chandelier doesn’t mean that this is his house. Sting then says AJ didn’t like his dad and the example he laid. Sting says if AJ keeps up he will turn into his dad. AJ PIMP SLAPS STING! Sting says because of their history, he will let that go. AJ says don’t, slaps him again and they brawl to the floor! Security breaks them up.

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-We shoot backstage and Angle is beating the shit out of Curry Man, Sharky and Eric Young.

-JB is in the awesome locker room of Booker T. Booker says in his country, they say the lion in the king of the jungle. But he thinks it is the elephant. Booker is a big game hunter, he hunts the elephant and takes him down with his bare hands, removes the tusks and uses it as an aphrodisiac. Booker scolds JB for touching him and calls him a horny dog. He then says tonight that “Gonzales” will fall at the foot of Booker. JB asks about the briefcase, and Sharmell says next week the contents of the case will be revealed.

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

Hernandez w/Homicide vs. Booker T w/Sharmell

They circle to begin, lock up and Hernandez shoves Booker away. Lock up again, side headlock by Booker and Hernandez tosses him off the ropes and gets a shoulder block. To the corner, Hernandez breaks and then eats a boot to the gut. Knees by Booker, but Hernandez back with the stalling vertical suplex gets a cover for 2. Irish whip by Hernandez, a boot by Booker and then a kick levels Hernandez, Booker covers for 2. Side kick by Booker and mounted rights follow. Booker mocks Homicide a bit, and then applies the chinlock on Hernandez. Hernandez fights to his feet, knees by Booker, a boot and off the ropes and misses the ax kick. A clothesline by Hernandez turns Booker inside out. Off the ropes, to the corner and a splash by Hernandez gets 2. A slam by Hernandez, he now heads to the apron and gets the slingshot shoulder block for 2. Border toss try by Hernandez, Sharmell distracts the ref, Homicide argues with them as well. Booker gets the briefcase, low blow, briefcase shot and then the ax kick follows. 1…2…3.

Winner: Booker T @ 5:40 via pin
# It was there, but it felt as if they were just going through the motions.
RATING: *½

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-TO THE BACK and Angle is beating down the Rock and Rave Infection. That was good for Rave’s neck.

-Lauren is with Roxxi. Roxxi doesn’t give a shit about Kong, and she doesn’t give a shit about Spike TV. She’s lost a ton of matches, most of them actually. She has survived. She won’t run and hide from Kong, shit, just bring it bitch. “Oh, sorry Spike.”

-Lauren is with Hemme, and Rave and Rock have been taken to the hospital. She tries to leave, and Kip and the Beautiful People stop her. They are upset that Hemme is taking her TV time. They have an HD test to do and something to debut, and they don’t have time for her. They then mock Hemme and say that HD will make her look uglier. The Beautiful People then beat her ass and brown bag her.

~KRAZY KURT~

Crazy Kurt comes down to the ring, looks at Penzer and then Tenay and West. He attacks David Penzer and then rolls him into the ring. HAHAHA! Kurt beats Penzer with his own shoe and then ankle locks him. He continues to beat down security and referees and JJ is out now to stop this. Angle wants a rematch and JJ says to leave it go because it is over and he has business to deal with. Angle then says 2-years ago he came to JJ’s house for lunch to sign a deal. Him, his kids, JJ and his kids. He knows where he lives, and how about “UNCLE KURT” pays a visit to the Jarrett children. JJ DOES NOT APPROVE and tries to attack Angle, but security holds JJ back.

-We get a video package, highlighting Bound for Glory.

~FAREWELL FOLEY~

Foley makes his way to the ring to say goodbye to TNA. I’ll leave the jokes to the comment section. Foley comes out and admits that for years he has been an addict, some have wondered about it due t the rumors of him loving pain, he’s a roller coaster junkie and has been for 23-years. He rarely has a beer, but when you work the style he did he could deal with it by treating the world like his personal theme park. He always looked forward to incredible coaster. He names a bunch of his favorite coasters, does the cheap pop gimmick and says he has been on an incredible thrill ride for 23-years. Maybe he is old and sentimental, or maybe Angle rattled him at BFG, but sometimes you need to step away, go back to the hotel and hit the pool, and then go out for more fun. He was having less fun and more stress, and he needed to back away. His decision to come to TNA was like a refreshing swim in the pool. Foley says that TNA has incredible athletes, passion and dedication that is second to none. His stint in TNA has been a great thrill ride. Unfortunately, there are so many time you can be a guest enforcer, that is one time. So he has loved it here, but it I time to say goodbye. He thanks the fans and says he wishes it could have lasted longer. Foley leaves the ring and as he heads up the ramp, Lethal Creed, some of the refs, AJ and JJ come out to offer hugs and thanks. JJ then asks for 10-minutes of his time, and one more meeting. I don’t know about you, but I for one will never forget the Foley era of TNA.

-Tenay says Cornette called from Vegas and is on the line. Cornette says they have problems tonight. He knows about KRAZY KURT and what he has done. Cornette is here to stop these shenanigans, so since Angle wants to fight, he can have one. Angle will face Matt Morgan later tonight.

Raisha Saeid w/Awesome Kong vs. Roxxi

Saeid tries to attack at the bell, they trade rights and then Saeid takes Roxxi to the corner. Kicks by Saeid, and then rights. Forearm strikes now follow, off the ropes and a clothesline by Saeid. Kong approves as Saeid covers for 2. A suplex by Saeid…CURB STOMP BITCH! ANOTHER ONE! Mounted rights by Saeid, and a cover for 2. She then chokes out Roxxi with the shin, Roxxi fights back but Saeid slams her down. Up top goes Saeid, and MISSES the missile dropkick. Rights by Roxxi, spinning forearm follows and as Kong tries to trip her up she gets a kick to Saeid. Fall away slam by Roxxi, to the floor and Kong levels her. Kong then gives the steel post the spinning backfist as Roxxi moved, Roxxi works her over, back in the ring and a VOODOO CRUSHER for Saeid finishes it.

Winner: Roxxi @ 4:25 via pin
# Once again a short match, but it had a ton of energy and it felt like they were actually trying to have a good match. I appreciate that. They need to shit or get off the pot with Roxxi though. She can only beat the lower tier chicks and then lose the big match so many times.
RATING: **

-Kong in now, IMPLANT BUSTER to Roxxi and then Kong and Saeid stand triumphant.

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-Lauren is with Matt Morgan. Morgan says that he is a main event waiting to happen, and this is his chance. But his mind is with his best friend, his partner, his BOY Chris Parks, Abyss. He feels bad for talking Abyss into the match, and he will have to live with that. A man was slammed off of a stage through a flaming table. WHO DOES THAT? Angle may be in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight.

-Lauren is with Hemme, who is PISSED. She would whoop the sluts asses if she didn’t have to go to the hospital to see her boys. But next week, she gets revenge. She promises to be PMSing next week! I don’t think it works that way.

-Here is the line up for next week’s LIVE Impact:
* Christy Hemme vs. One of the Beautiful People
* TNA X-Division Title Match: Sheik Abdul Bashir © vs. Jay Lethal
* TNA Knockouts Title Match: Taylor Wilde © vs. Awesome Kong
* Team Hard Rock Hardcore Text-off Gauntlet Match: 3D vs. Beer Money vs. LAX vs. Matt Morgan and Abyss
* Kevin Nash and Sting vs. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles

-Creed is with JB and dances and fixes his hair. He is willing to step in the ring and shoot himself to the top. Nash can bring all the games he has, play TNA Impact the game btw, and Nash may be 9′11, but Creed is coming!

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

Kevin Nash vs. Consequences Creed

Knees by Nash to begin. Clubbing shots to the back follows, and then Kevin Nash corner offense 101 follows. Creed escapes snake eyes, basement dropkick and jabs follow. TNA will be live in HD next week. Creed uses his speed, more jabs and a superkick is then caught and Nash obliterates Creed with a clothesline. Cobra Clutch by Nash ala Big Show without the cool toss, and the powerbomb, that is all.

Winner: Kevin Nash @ 2:00 via pin

-Nash says the new generation unconscious Creed, AJ, Joe; they are either arrogant or stupid. If Joe couldn’t see what was coming at BFG, he must not have remembered running down Hall 10-months ago. The only people dumber are the people here because they still cheer him. When he was a boy, he heard the story about David and Goliath. Jack and the Beanstalk. The giant is always stupid. They always have hated him because he is a genius. The most intelligent man in the business. And they are all stupid for bringing their wives, because they all want to spend the night with Nash. He is the greatest that has ever been in the ring, and if they all pulled their money, they wouldn’t have the money he drops in a strip club in a month. You don’t have to love it, but he is the best thing going today.

-Foley leaves JJ’s office, they will meet in the car later, and Foley then says he has to take an Angle. Foley calls JJ a Maverick and leaves. JJ=McCain?

-TNA will be live in HD next week.

-We get a “Cross the Line” video package.

-Lauren is with Team 3D. She claims that they assaulted Abyss. They are hardcore and are in the Monsters Ball, what did she expect? A headlock? A single leg takedown? Abyss got what he deserved and he likely loved it. It was a whole new level of violence, and next week they rematch in Vegas, and the fans get to pick who comes to the ring and when. They will take it to a whole new level in Vegas.

Matt Morgan vs. Kurt Angle

Lock up to begin, to the ropes and Morgan breaks clean. Lock up again, and Morgan tosses Angle down. Angle with a go behind, side headlock and off the ropes, shoulder block by Morgan. Angle to the floor, chills, back in and a boot by Angle. Uppercuts follow, off the ropes and Morgan snatches him up and gets the sack of shit slam. Morgan chokes on the ropes, leg to the back of the head and Morgan to the floor. Clubbing rights to Angle, the leg drop on the apron follows and we’ll head to commercial @ 3:00.

Back from commercial @ 6:00 as Morgan gets a cross body off of the top and covers for 2. Angle escapes the hellevator attempt, and Morgan tells Angle that he was “this close.” Angle makes Morgan look dumb, tricks him into chasing him and then lays the boots to him. Angle cannonballs onto the leg of Morgan and now focuses on the knee. Elbow drop to the knee, and into the leg vice goes Angle. Angle with the standing knee bar, Morgan kicks him off and then Angle with the chop block. Morgan comes back with the clothesline, to their feet and rights by both men now follow. Off the ropes and a back elbow by Morgan. A clothesline and another. Corner splash by Morgan and then the side slam follows for 2. Morgan misses the charge, Morgan escapes the Angle slam, Carbon Footprint by Morgan lands and he covers for 2. Angle gets the ankle lock now, Morgan escapes and then catches Angle, Catatonic! 1…2…NO! Morgan calls for the Hellevator, has Angle but Angle escapes, clips the knee, Angle slam and that is all.

Winner: Kurt Angle @ 11:00 via pin
# A pretty good little TV match there, but I really question beating Morgan clean on TV right now.
RATING: **½

-After the match Angle attacks Morgan and works over his knee. Angle with the knee crank, but HERE IS ABYSS in a silk shirt! HE MEANS BUSINESS! Angle backs off, but then sneaks back in and attacks Abyss. Angle pummels Abyss and rips off his shirt to show the bandages from the burns. Abyss has a hell of a bruise and Angle gets the ankle lock on Abyss.

-TO THE PARKING LOT as JB catches up with Foley and JJ. JJ jokes about the bail out package so he doesn’t have to talk to JB, and who can blame him. Foley says they are going to Vegas, and he has a declaration that will shake the foundation of the wrestling world. He is already back from leaving, almost as quick as his first retirement. Foley then closes by saying what happens in Vegas will be shared with the entire world.

-TNA will be live in HD next week.
