Previously, on TNA Impact...
A NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH RESULTED IN JAY LETHAL BECOMING THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP. IN FOUR DAYS TIME, MR. LETHAL WILL CHALLENGE BRIAN KENDRICK FOR THE X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP. BUT TONIGHT, THEY WILL BE PARTNERS. CAN THE TWO FUTURE OPPONENTS COEXIST TO GET THE JOB DONE TONIGHT? FIND OUT ON...
THE BRIAN KENDRICK SHOW!!!
Cheesy sitcom music plays as Brian Kendrick, wearing khakis, a sweater vest, and a Houston Texans cap, appears on screen.
Welcome to the Brian Kendrick Show!
Canned applause and cheers are heard.
As you saw in the recap, my date for Hard Justice is set, but unlike every other Friday night, this time she isn't tall, blonde, or even a she!
Canned laughter is heard.
No no, this Friday, I will defend the TNA X Division Championship against a man who has held this title many times before. A man who some consider a pioneer of the present-day X Division. A man who has done everything there is to do in this company. No, I'm not talking about the shocking return of Big Sexy...
More canned laughter.
Of course I'm talking about Jay Lethal!
Canned cheers and applause.
Now Jay, I have a lot of respect for you, man.
More canned laughter.
No, I'm serious. I admire everything Jay Lethal has done in this industry...
More canned laughter.
Hey, this is the serious part of the show! Cut that out!
More canned laughter...
Excuse me.
Kendrick walks away. Loud banging and yelling is heard, before he walks back on, his sweater vest torn.
As I was saying, Jay Lethal is a hell of a competitor and it's an honor to be teaming with him tonight. But at Hard Justice, I'm pulling out all the stops. I will not allow my X Division Championship reign to end after only one month.
So Jay, bring your best this Friday, because I'm sure as hell bringing mine.
I'm Brian Kendrick, TNA X Division Champion. Thank you for your time.

I could have sworn I voted for Jackie in time, thus it ended 2-1. You were one minute too late I'm afraid.

JB: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing 240 pounds, he is Professional Wrestling’s Only Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle!
JB: His partner, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 252 pounds, he is the TNA Legends Champion, Tommy “Crimson” Mercer!
JB: Their opponents, first, from Elizabeth, New Jersey, weighing 215 pounds, Jay Lethal!
JB: And his partner, from Venice, California, weighing 184 pounds, he is the TNA X Division Champion, Brian Kendrick!
Tenay: These four men will be opponents at Hard Justice. The question is can they co exist here? West: I think Lethal should have listened to Angle. He has nothing to gain from this match. Tenay: Jay Lethal is a proud competitor. He won’t take any short cuts. West: Pride comes before a fall, Mike.

Mercer beats Lethal down and whips him into the ropes but Lethal comes back with a springboard back elbow. With both men down they crawl to their respective corners for the tag. Mercer reaches out to Angle but Angle just drops off the apron and walks away. Kendrick takes advantage of Crimson’s confusion to his The Kendrick!
1…

3!
JB: Here are your winners, Brian Kendrick and Jay Lethal!
Tenay: I can’t believe Angle just walked out on this match. West: Why? That’s exactly what he said he was going to do. Tenay: Hey wait, what’s this now.
Lethal raise Kendrick arm as Kendrick gets the X Division title handed to him. Lethal and Kendrick stare eachother down as we cut to the back.
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels are backstage.
I can't believe that. Why? Why would they even do that?
Because they know it gets to you, that's why.
I'm glad Christy is okay.
Christy comes up.
You'll never guess where I've been!
Why, where were you?
Oh I was in Jeff Jarrett's office. I got us signed up for a match at Hard Justice.
Wait, us?
Yeah, me, you and Chris against LAX and that woman that attacked me last week.
But what about your neck?
My neck is fine.
Really?
How many times do I have to tell you? I can take care of myself. I competed at Wrestlemania you know.
Yeah, and you lost.
Can we deal with this later? We have to team with Eric Young against LAX and Phil Shatter later on.
I know, I know. Trust me, Chris. I focused on the match.
*Enter Eric Young and Eric Bischoff*
Hey guys. I hear you two talking about our six man tag tonight? Because if so, I want to make sure we’re all on the same page. I beat this homicide three weeks ago. After the match I got jumped, and you two came out, saved me from a beating. Never got to thank you for that. Tonight I plan to repay the favor by helping you out vs LAX and Shatter. But let’s address the five hundred pound elephant in the room. We all saw what happened to Christy last week, and while it’s obvious that you two are pissed off; I want to let you know that I find their actions just as disgusting. But tonight I want a victory. So I’m asking you two, can we worry about getting the win tonight, and then at Hard Justice, you go for their blood?
Exactly. You guys need to worry about getting that three count. I had the same attitude going into my infamous Bischoff/Jackie five star classic. All I wanted was to get the W. I remember heading down the ramp while over 300,000 people who packed the arena chanted my name. BISCHOFF! BISCHOFF! . . .
*Bischoff keeps talking in the background*
Is he joking? Or an idiot?
I try to just ignore him 90% of the time.
You're welcome for the save. But things are different. Your win was two weeks ago. You don't think LAX is prepared for you now? Sorry, Eric, but I have no guarentees. They made this personal.
He's right, AJ. We can deal with LAX at Hard Justice. But tonight isn't about that. Tonight is about getting the win.
I dunno. I can't promise anything.
AJ, be reasonable.
It wasn't your friend who got attacked!
Hey, I'm standing right here.
Okay, what do you want to do?
We'll worry about Hard Jusctice when we get to it, but for now I agree with Eric.
*Bischoff still clearly lost in his train of thought*
Then finally I picked her up and scoop slammed her to the shock of all the 750,000 people packed in the place. The crowd erupted in cheer!
No, the other one.
Alright. Are you ready, Young?
* Young nods to Daniels*
Trust me Daniels, I’m ready.
*AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Eric Young exit*
Finally the bell rung, and Borash was forced to inform the crowd, that the match had reached its sixty minute time limit. The crowd was obviously dying for more as they chanted “Ten more minutes!” “Ten more minutes!” but they unfortunately have to settle with the draw. Anyway, the point I was getting at was . . .
*looks around, sees nobody*
Kids these days. No respect for the legends that paved the way.

JB: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and Cowboy James Storm, from Wall Street, Manhattan, New York, weighing 240 pounds, he is one half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Robert Roode!
JB: And his opponent, accompanied by Nick Jackson, from Hesperia, California, weighing 178 pounds, Matt Jackson!
Tenay: Last week on Impact, Nick Jackson was able to defeat James Storm. Can his brother Matt do the same tonight over the other half of the Tag Champions, Robert Roode. West: Well that was a fluke if I ever saw one. Tenay: How can you say that? West: Well if they win tonight it doesn’t matter. It only matters when the titles are on the line.

Ric Flair jumps on the apron to create a distraction while Storm slides into the ring with his beer bottle. Nick Jackson jerks Flair off the apron but Garrett James is still distracted allowing Storm to spit beer in Jackson’s face. But Jackson ducks and Storm nails Roode by mistake. Jackson disposes of Storm and climbs to the top rope where he hits a moonsault!

JB: Here is your winner, Matt Jackson!
Tenay: OInce again the Jacksons get the better of Beer Money. West: Yeah, they beat them in two singles matches. But it won’t matter come Hard Justice. Tenay: I disagree. The Jacksons now have all the momentum heading into Hard Justice.
*The 'Tron cuts to Top Gun Phil Shatter and his entourage backstage. Top Gun is wearing a jacket, seemingly covering something.*
Alright, brother. Camera's on, time to do this. Do it right, now.
Alright, alright! I got this, Hulk. I got this.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! ALL Y'ALL GUNNERS ACROSS THE WORLD AND IN THE IMPACT ZONE TONIGHT! WE COME BEFORE YOU TO UTTER A SIMPLE MESSAGE:
Your prayers have been answered.
You've waited a long time, and that wait is over!
Because now, Total Nonstop Action Impact Wrestling is finally ready to deliver to you, the very first ever...
*Shatter dramatically throws off the jacket, revealing...*
THE OFFICIAL TOP GUN T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon, Mikey! Say it!
*sigh*
Available now on TNAwrestling.com. Act fast.
You heard the man! Buy one fast, 'cuz this baby's gonna fly off the shelf!
Right, because that's what the masses are craving.
*LAX enters the scene.*
Capitalist glorification of Hulk Hogan's redneck proteges.
Pssh, least I got a shirt.
Actually, since they came back, the shop's got all the old LAX merchandise back in circulation.
WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON, MIKEY?!?
The winning side. Which tonight means both of ya. Or did you forget you're teaming with them tonight?
He's got ya there, dude.
Hey, I just got my first t-shirt. 'scuse me for forgettin' I had a match tonight.
Well, you better get your head outta your ass and in the game, Popgun. You might be makin' an art form outta kickin' Eric Young's ass, but it ain't like that takes effort. We got real opponents tonight to worry about, ya know.
Hey, I almost beat AJ Styles in my first match!
An' almost don't get you a damn thing, son.
I'm twice the man I was then, though. Hell, three times! I'm ready for AJ Styles now, even if he's got his buddy. Even if he's got Eric Young there to slow me down. I swear to all y'all right now, I am ending this match when I pin AJ Styles to the mat.

3.
He did it. Pay up.
Huh?
You counted to three.
*Hernandez hands Homicide a small wad of cash. Top Gun lunges at Hernandez, Mikael Judas holding him back.*
Easy, easy!
SIMMER DOWN, BROTHER!
UH-UH! NO DAMN WAY! THESE TWO NEED AN ASS-KICKIN' AND I'M GONNA DO IT!!!
Save it until after the match, then, damn it!
This is the kind of attitude that had Jesse Neal walk out on us last week. And look where that got us.
Miserable little shitface. Left us out there two-on-three. We're comin' for you one of these days, Neal. New America's gonna have to deal with some real damn patriots from the real damn America, an' you can count on that, brother!
Are you done?
F'real, man. We can just save some time and leave now if you ain't gonna chill the f*** out.
I'm good. I'm good.
Good. You can beat AJ Styles and Eric Young tonight if you can work with LAX here. You definitely can't do it three on one. And you brothers definitely want to leave AJ and his little bald buddy lickin' their wounds after another ass kickin', don't ya, brothers?
We are not opposed to the idea.
A'ight. Let's get out there and lay some motherf***ers out, Popgun.
LET'S GO KICK SOME ASS, BROTHERS! YEAH!!!
Aren't you forgetting something?
Ah, what now, Mikey?
Not you. Them.
Huh?
What he said.
F*** you on about now?
Last week. Christy Hemme? You're not even gonna mention that?
Yeah, that was pretty messed up.
So the f*** what?
Random new chick shows up, you drop AJ's "not girlfriend" on her neck, and you're just gonna not reference that at all?
All in good time, gringo grande. All in good time. Best laid plans are the ones where you keep the important facts close to the chest, keep the dumb-asses against ya guessin'.
And that's all they gonna get. Now once again. Popgun. AJ Styles. Christopher Daniels. Eric Young. Let us go and f*** them up now. Comprende?
Hell yeah I comprende, amigo. Let's go make us an impact! TOP GUN'S GONNA RUN WILD ON SOME SUM-BITCHES TONIGHT!!!

Tenay: Here we go with our main event, the two men who will challenge for the world title at Hard Justice about to meet. West: I assure you Magnus will be keeping a close eye on this one. Tenay: Well as long as all he’s doing is watching. West: What do you mean by that? Tenay: I mean you really expect Magnus to stay out of this?

Anderson goes for the rolling fireman’s carry but Joe gets out of and goes for the Clutch! Anderson manages to counter by driving Joe back into the corner. Anderson punches away on Joe but Joe reverses and throws Anderson into the corner. Joe sets Anderson on the top rope and hooks Anderson up. Muscle Buster!

Magnus slides into the ring and breaks up the pinfall but nailing Joe across the back with the title belt. Earl Hebner calls for the bell!
JB: Here is your winner, as the result of a disqualification, Samoa Joe!
Joe gets up and Magnus hits him right between the eyes with the title. Anderson gets to his feet and gets a shot from the belt too.
Tenay: Well didn’t I tell you? West: Yeah, you told us. Tenay: Magnus has laid out both his challengers. West: Get used to this sight, Mike. This is how Hard Justice is gonna end.
Magnus stands over his two challengers holding his title belt aloft as Impact goes off the air.

TNA.com VIDEO exclusive Eric Bischoff presents a special pre: HARD JUSTICEEric's Explanations With Special Guest: Christy Hemme Welcome to the fourth edition of Eric’s explanations. I’m Eric Bischoff, and yes I’m back this week. Young and I made a deal that if I survived the fight with Jackie, I’d get to host my show this week. I would like to thank Young for covering for me last week, he did a pretty good job for a guy with no hosting experience. Tonight we’ll hear with Christy Hemme, who will be fighting with AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in a 6 man tag vs LAX at Hard Justice. I’ll also talk about my recent progressions as a wrestler, including the 10 minute time limit draw I had with Jackie, and I’ll answer your questions and respond to your comments.
Like I said just a couple of moments ago, my guest at this time is the beautiful Christy Hemme. Nice to have you here. So to begin, there is no way we could ignore the recent attack against you by the mysterious female LAX member. If you had the chance to go back to that one impact, knowing what you know now, would you have gone out to the ring with Styles and Daniels?Maybe. But they always hindsight is 20-20. You can't change what's already happened. I don't regret anything that's happened. You always have to move forward. It may seem like a cliche but God doesn't close a door without opening a window. Years ago I had my dream job, I competed at Wrestlemania. Which only a select group of people have done. Not even Sting has done that. But then I had to leave my dream job. It broke my heart but it was something I'll always be proud of. Then I wound up in TNA. And that never would have happened if I didn't keep moving forward. And that is why I'm not gonna dwell in the past. Just know that I will be at Hard Justice and I will be coming to kick ass.Moving on to a little more of a gossip type question: What's the deal with you and AJ?Oh god. I thought we cleared this up. AJ and I are friends. Close friends I grant you but that's all. I mean we're both married. And after that whole mess with Raven, AJ needed somebody to keep an eye on him. And AJ's wife Wendy gave me her blessing. In fact it was her idea. And honestly, I'm tired of having to go over this again and again. We're friends. Where does it say that a guy and a girl can be friends?Finally, any parting words for LAX? Well it's not like I haven't been in this position before, attacked by some masked chica who hung around with Hernandez and Homicide. And she ended up leaving while I'm still here. And you know what, you masked bitch? I don't know who you are and I don't care. Just know one thing. Those who don't learn for the past are doomed to repeat it. I'm coming to Hard Justice and I am coming to kick your ass.*Christy Hemme exits* Christy Hemme, an incredible knockout who will be in the ring again very soon, at Hard Justice. Also competing at Hard Justice is yours truly, as the EY/Easy E Connection goes two on two with Top Gun Phil Shatter and Hulk Hogan. In this last month, I’ve definitely progressed so much as a wrestler. Through no amount of exaggeration can I be considered the greatest wrestler, but due to the videos sent in by you, the fans, I feel safe to say that I now grasp the very basics of wrestling. Like I said, I won’t be a Frank Gotch or Bruno Sammartino, but I got a few moves down.
For those of you who saw my match with Jackie, you didn’t see me do much, I admit that. But I feel more comfortable in that ring now. After the match, adrenaline was still rushing through my body, so much so that I was acting like an idiot later with Styles and Daniels. I felt successful. I want that feeling again, and at Hard Justice, I’ll get it.
As for particular wrestling moves, I’m getting better. I can hit Shatter with a Russian leg sweep, dropkick, clothesline, and even a top rope splash. As for Hogan, he’ll need to watch out for my headlock, sleeper hold, Lou Thesz press, and of course… a leg drop. Finally I can finish them both off with my finisher, the famous Eric Bischoff Judo Chop!
Now I’ve probably been boring most of you people, so let’s get to the most popular segment of Eric’s Explanations, Let Your Voice Be Heard. In this segment I will answer your questions and respond to comments.
First off, well go to MLP:FIMfan2011 who said: Uh, that is embarrassing. What can I say? I had my first match in a long time, and I found a way to survive for ten minutes with Jackie, a professional wrestler. I was excited and I got carried away. Sorry. I’ll try not to get too crazy from now on.
The next comment comes from DeathPolka. They posted:Ah, ppv predictions. These are always fun. I’ll do them in no particular order.
First off:
Red Chaos vs New America. I’m going with New America. Both teams are motivated, but Neal still has that surprise up his sleeve. The mystery member, along with the fact that he was a guest of the show, is more than enough, for me to believe that New America comes out victorious.
Next up: TNA Legends Championship Tommy "Crimson" Mercer v Tommy Dreamer v Kurt Angle
I honestly have no clue. Dreamer was the only one of the three who won this last week, so I want to give him the nod, but Angle made his presence known, by walking out of Mercer. Then again, that means Mercer is pissed. Geez, this is tough. I’ll stay with Dreamer, my original choice.
TNA World Tag Team Championship Beer Money v The Jacksons
Jacksons have too much momentum. I see them becoming the new tag team champs.
TNA Women's Title and TNA Women's Tag Team Titles on the line Winter, Katy Nikita Lee and Sarita v Daffney and Leather n Lace
The knockout division confuses the hell out of me. But I’m pretty sure that Winter isn’t in this match, so that clears it up a bit. After this last impact, I think there are major communications issues between Daffney and Leather n Lace. So I’ll go with the already experienced trio of Winter, Katy Nikita Lee, and Sarita.
TNA X Division Championship Brian Kendrick v Jay Lethal
With my new attitude since joining, I’ve really grown to appreciate the x-division. They were good teammates on Impact, and they’ll be better opponents. I predict Kendrick to retain, after a hard fought bout…
What? I have to support a fellow video show host.
"Top Gun" Phil Shatter & Hulk Hogan v Eric Young & Eric Bischoff
Hmm. I wonder who I’ll pick. After much thought, I’m gonna go with me and Young getting the win.
Phenomenal Angels & Christy Hemme v LAX
This one is tough. On the one hand, it is nearly impossible to go against Daniels and Styles, they’re an amazing team, throw in Christy, and it seems impossible for LAX to pull out the victory. Still, this mystery girl has peaked my interest. LAX plays dirty… but it doesn’t work at Hard Justice, Styles/Daniels/Hemme win.
TNA World Heavyweight Championship Brutus Magnus v Mr Anderson v Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe wins. New Champ. Ask me last week, and I’d say Magnus will most likely retain. But that beatdown to start off impact, showed off Samoa Joe’s brute strength and of course, his anger. Magnus got a nice shot at Joe with the title at the end, but I feel that has only angered Joe further. Anderson has had a rough couple of weeks, and I don’t believe he’ll be able to turn it around.
Of course, all my predictions are just that, predictions. At Hard Justice, nothing is certain.
Tonight’s final question comes from OkadaMark28 who wrote: Hopefully after this Hard Justice match, Eric Young and I stay allies, but I’d like to take a second to remind everybody why I wanted to stand by Eric Young’s side in the first place. I am desperately trying to rebuild my reputation and my image. Like I’ve said since my first day back, I am a changed man. I hear the rumblings in the locker room, and it’s clear that others don’t agree. It seems like they’ve went from treating me like a leper to treating me like a clown, but that isn’t respect. That isn’t admiration. At Hard Justice, I’m gonna stand by EY’s side, and on that night, I’ll prove to the locker room that I’m trustworthy. That’s my main goal. But I’m not leaving TNA until I have a better reputation than *airquote* the guy who killed wcw and tried to kill TNA *airquote*.
As always, this is Eric Bischoff, signing off. Tune in to Hard Justice 8-12 6:00 EST and stay tuned for another edition of Eric’s Explanations, following Hard Justice, exclusively on TNA.com
