Written the Friday/Saturday night before (So, I didn't know they were going to put Raven/Kaz on the ppv)
(NOTE....this is the first IMPACT after Hard Justice, so first off....)
Quick Results on MY version of how things go down at HARD JUSTICE:
The Motorcity Machine Guns pull an UPSET victory over XXX and Sonjay and Lethal….after Sonjay turns on Lethal, which allows Sabin to get the pin.
Dustin Rhodes defeats “Wildcat” Chris Harris……after launching a fireball in his face while the ref is down.
LAX beats VKM, after Roxie leaves at the end of the match (When she is supposed to run interference). This causes Kip James to become distracted, and Homicide to roll him up for the pin.
Robert Roode defeats and “Fires” Eric Young, kicking him out of the arena
Rhino defeats James Storm by goring him through the bar counter and getting the pin
The Steiners beat Team 3-D in a HARD fought match, pinning D’Von after putting Brother Ray through a table outside the ring
Cage, AJ, and Tomko beat Abyss, Sting, and Andrew Martin after Andrew turns on Sting and Judas Messiah comes out and waylays Abyss……Cage gets the easy pin on an unconscious Abyss.
Samoa Joe defeats Kurt Angle…..during the match, Kurt’s wife comes in and teases like she’s going to hit Joe with a chair, but hits Kurt instead. This distracts Kurt enough for Joe to lock in his Submission move and make Kurt tap out. We see Joe celebrate at the end of the show, and Kurt walk away from the ring, looking Devestated.
-----Our teaser for the show shows some of the Major Events from the night before, specifically the end of the Kurt/Joe match.
COLD OPENING:
------We OPEN on a shot of Kurt Angle sitting in an office, looking almost catatonic as he stares into space. We then hear Kevin Nash’s voice start to speak Off Screen.
NASH: I wouldn’t worry too much about losing the belt last night, Kurt. I’ve lot plenty of belts in my time….Heck, I lost one from Hulk Hogan poking me in the chest one time…..how humiliating was THAT? (The camera pulls back to see Dr. Nash sitting behind a desk with his legs propped up on them. Kurt remains seated in a black chair, still not speaking or moving.) Anyways….what’s important is fixing things with your family. I mean, you don’t want things to get as bad as they were with me, when my wife was not only nailing me with chairs….she was also gutting my paychecks each month……course, they ALL do that, but….(Becoming flustered) My point is…..things can only get better from here…..am I right or am I right?
----We see the door to the office open up behind them, as an annoyed Jim Cornette (With Matt Morgan behind him) walks in to see Nash and Kurt.
JIM CORNETTE: Hey! What the hell is going on here?!? Kurt….I haven’t seen or heard anything from you since Sunday! I was getting ready to call the Damn Police, expecting to find you passed out on the side of the road somewhere…..
KURT: (Looking up at Jim and interrupting) I’m done, Jim.
JIM: What? What do you mean you’re done?
KURT: I’m done….the belts….the business…..all of it. I’ve lost too much from it, and I’m done. The only reason I even came here tonight was to tell you that. (Gets up and walks off) I Quit.
JIM: Quit?!? You can’t quit! (Following him halfway out the door, and yelling down the hall) You’re the Number One guy in this company…..we can’t make the moves we need to make without you . Kurt!!! Come back! (Sees he’s NOT coming back, and walks back in the office) He quit! I can’t believe he really quit. (Looks at Nash) What the hell are YOU even doing in my office?
-----Nash gets up and whistles innocently as he leaves. Cornette sits down behind his desk and puts his head in his hands.
JIM: Damn…..
------FADE to the OPENING……Afterwards, we FADE in at the IMPACT ZONE, as the fans are going nuts, ready for the PPV Fallout. We CUT to Mike Teney and Don West, who start to do their hype thing, but are quickly interrupted by “The Franchise” Shane Douglas, who tells them that TNA management has ordered that their Announce Team has just been “Franchised,” and officially makes it a 3-Man Team. The announcers have little time to react to this as we go right into our first match.
MATCH 1---Kaz vs. Raven in an Extreme Rules match
----Kaz wastes little time diving out of the ring onto the members of Serotonin. He manages to get ahold of Raven, as they brawl throughout the arena, with Kaz being able to keep the other Serotonin members off and almost getting the pin over Raven early on, but Raven makes a comeback by cracking Kaz with a Singapore Cane several times, Busting him open, and then hitting him with the Raven Effect ddt. However, Kaz amazingly kicks out, but doesn’t seem to have much left in him. Raven beats on him some more, and goes to do his Pose over him, but Kaz uses the fact that he isn’t paying attention to roll Raven up and get a surprise pin. This surprises both Raven and Serotonin, and they make him pay for it by beating and bloodying him up more. Raven is about to Ddt the almost unconscious Kaz on a steel chair when Rhino runs out and gores Havok and Martyr, which causes Raven to flee, but the members of Serotonin smile as they walk back up the ramp, as Frank Kazarian looks destroyed.
------CUT back to a Pretaped segment with “The Black Reign” Dustin Rhodes, who sits in a mostly darkened room with almost interrogation light.
DUSTIN RHODES: Chris Harris….I hope you realize that I don’t hate you. In fact, I see in you the possibility of a great future….a great career, but at the same time….I think you need to learn a little lesson in Humility. You see, since you started here….I’ve seen you get Good opportunity after Good opportunity….Tag Team title shots over other more deserving teams….high profile matches over guys who are quite frankly….above your current level, and Why? Well, because certain people in this company have decided that you’re going to be a BIG STAR, and so they push you and push you, no matter if you’re really ready for it or not.
It’s kind of like me…..I was Pushed and Pushed because I was the son of the Great Dusty Rhodes, and so they thought that anything that he had…. I automatically would have Plus youth, but I wasn’t ready….I wasn’t ready, and LOOK at me now. I’m a broken shell of a man…..and quite honestly, I don’t want that same fate for you, Chris.
(Raising his voice)
So I will beat you down every time you come at me…..I will DENY you that opportunity to reach the level I’ve had to crawl my way up to. Why? Because you’re NOT READY, and I will prove that to you Over and Over again.
I will show you why I am the Black Reign….because that is the darkness inside my soul coming out…..the darkness that will consume this whole company, and it will start with you Chris Harris…..you will fall to my inner darkness……and you will drown in the Black Reign.
-----FADE to BLACK and COMMERCIAL.
-----As we Come Back from Commercial, we see a White limo pulling up in the back of the Impact Zone with the members of Christian’s Coalition, who are in a celebrating mood. Jeremy Borash tries to get some words from Christian, but he tells him that he’ll hear all he needs to know by the end of the night. AJ and Roode (w/Miss. Brooks) make little comments as they brush past him, along with Tomko who just shrugs as if to say “I don’t know what the hell these guys are talking about.”…..and then they are followed up surprisingly James Storm and Miss Jackie, leaving a confused Jeremy in their dust.
-----We then see a Quick Flash as Samoa Joe is walking down the hallway from the dressing room to the stage, and we will hear what he has to say….NEXT.
------COMMERCIAL
-----We come back from Commercial as Samoa Joe’s music starts to play in the Impact Zone. The fans go nuts as Joe walks out with all the belts, posing menacingly, but confident on the stage, before walking out to the ring. He quickly drops all of them but the TNA World Title, as he grabs a mike a prepares to speak.
SAMOA JOE: Before I go on….I first want to say that I am honored to have won these titles from one of the best wrestlers in the world…..Kurt Angle, and although I never liked you Kurt….I do respect the Hell out of you, and anytime you want to come back and claim your rematch….you’ve got it.
Now, before I go on…..I want to say that I won these belts last Sunday NOT because I wanted or Needed to hold all of these belts, but just to prove a point. One, that I COULD win the Big One, and Two….that I COULD beat Kurt Angle. In fact, the main reason I came out here tonight….was so I could do the right thing with these other belts…..The X-Division belt and the TNA Tag Titles, but I’m going to need Jim Cornette to come out here to make things official.
------Cornette’s music hits, as he and Matt Morgan walk out and enter the ring to face Joe.
JOE: Jim….I am officially relinquishing the X-Division Title and the Tag Titles, but only on the grounds that you put them up for the top contenders…..the Talented guys in this company that deserve to be wrestling for these belts.
JIM CORNETTE: I have no problem doing that, and I have to say that you are a HELL of a man for doing this, Joe…..
-----Suddenly, Jim is cut off by Christian Cage’s mocking voice, and we soon CUT to see him and the rest of his group walking up on the stage.
CHRISTIAN: “You are a HELL of a man for doing this, Joe…” Yeah, he’s a Hell of a man….a Hell of a Smart man, as he doesn’t want to be known as the Guy who lost all of the titles in TNA to One Man…..”The Instant Classic” Christian Cage. That’s right, boys….I’m calling in my chips and asking….No, DEMANDING a title shot from Fat Joe up there. (Quick CUTAWAY of Joe looking Pissed)
Yeah, Joe….you’re SUCH a Big Man……you needed a WOMAN’S help to win the Big One last night. You took advantage of a situation and used it to get you to the top…..which, is admirable in a way, but kind of Pussyesque for someone who’s Supposed to be a Big Shooter Guy. But deep down, you know that if Kurt’s wife wouldn’t have did what she did……you’d have tapped out to Kurt Yet Again on Sunday, and would have been knocked down into the gutter with the other Jobbers…..where you belong. What do you think about that?
----CUT to Joe, who smiles.
JOE: What do I think about that? Why don’t you bring your scrawny, smarmy ass down here, Christian, and I’ll SHOW you what I think about that. That is….if you can leave your little group of Hanger Oners back there and come and Face me, that is. (We see a quick CUTAWAY of Christian starting to comply, when Cornette cuts him off)
JIM CORNETTE: (Grabbing the mike) Wait, hold on…..you just gave me an idea for Tonight’s Main Event. You were talking about having deserving guys fighting for our belts…..well, tonight, there will be a #1 Contenders Match between Three Deserving Guys for who will get the World title shot at the next ppv. Christian Cage…..you will be one of those men, and your opponents in the match will be Tomko and AJ Styles!
------We CUT to Christian, who looks confused and slightly worried. AJ Styles also looks somewhat shocked by the news, but Tomko smiles and nods. We CUT to Joe who is also smiling at the news, as the announcers put over this announcement by Jim Cornette.
-----We then FADE to COMMERCIAL
-----We Come Back from Commercial with a Group shot in a private locker room of Christian’s Coalition, with Christian in the middle, looking pissed.
CHRISTIAN: I can’t believe Cornette did that to me…..well, I CAN believe it…that Hillbilly’s been out for me since Day One……but I can’t believe he’d do this to me…..to US tonight. We should be out celebrating our victory against Sting, the Retard, and the Punisher…..not fighting amongst ourselves to see who will EVENUTALLY get a title shot at MY World Title.
AJ STYLES: Yeah, it’s REAL messed up, Christian. (Shaking his head)
CHRISTIAN: Well, I guess the question we need to ask…..is whether you guys are going to be Team Players tonight, or whether it’s every man for himself. AJ?
AJ STYLES: Hey, I’m down for whatever you want to do. I am a Team Player…100%.
CHRISTIAN: Good, good….knew I could count on you, AJ. (Glances back) Tomko, are you going to do the right thing for the Team?
TOMKO: (Smiles) You know I will, Double C…..we’re Boys and all, right?
CHRISTIAN: Awesome, awesome……(sighs)….Well, I feel a little bit better. Screw Cornette and Screw Samoa Joe….after the pay per view….I’ll be on Top of the World again, and then they can both kiss my entire white ass. Jimmy Storm!
JAMES STORM: Yeah?
CHRISTIAN: Go grab us a few of those beers that I know you have hiding in that cooler in your locker…..The Coalition is going to do a little celebrating after all, and after I become Number One contender tonight….we’ll be celebrating even more at the nearest bar. My Treat.
JAMES STORM: On it. (Walks off)
CHRISTIAN: (Camera Closes in on him) Ah….life is good.
-----We Go to another PreTaped Segment, a strange jarring promo with strange camera angles, colors, and edits. James Mitchell and Judas Messiah are standing in front of a black coffin.
MITCHEL: Abyss…..did you really think I was going to let you get away with what you did to me a couple months ago? Did you really think that aligning yourself with “The Stinger” was going to save you from my wrath? Think again.
(We see a brief recap of both Judas pulling Abyss under the ring weeks earlier and him attacking Abyss at Hard Justice, and Abyss being bloodied and beaten both times)
This is only the beginning, Abyss…..I will see you drown in your own blood….I will see you suffer until you break….I will make you watch as I tear down the little bit of a life you’ve made for yourself…..Brick by brick. And the man that will help me do all this….is my very own Judas Messiah, as he will deliver a prophecy of destruction, pain, and death unto you. (The camera pans over to Judas Messiah, who doesn’t raise his head as he speaks)
JUDAS MESSIAH: Abyss….you think you know pain? You think you know suffering? You haven’t seen nothing yet, but by the time I am done with you…..you will know, Chris….you will know.
(The camera PULLS back as Mitchell laughs and mockingly says)
MITCHEL: Click…..DOOMSDAY!!!! (Laughing more, as we FADE OUT to…..)
MATCH 2---Alex Shelly vs. Shark Boy
----We go back to the Impact Zone, as Shark Boy has made his way out to the ring for this singles match. His music is soon replaced by that of the Motor City Machine Guns: Shelly, Chris Sabin, and Sonjay Dutt, who all do a Charlie’s Angels like pose on the entrance before going down to the ring. Sonjay joins the announce team, as Sabin video tapes the match.
This is a decently short match, which is mostly dominated by Shelly (Although, Shark Boy gets some nice offense in). Sonjay proceeds to explain his betraying Jay Lethal at the ppv by cracking on his gimmick by saying, “I was sick and tired of playing that racist ass role. I mean, THE GURU?!? I’m surprised they didn’t have me as a 7/11 cashier guy, selling Slurpies to people in my promos. No, My name is Sonjay Dutt…..the One True Playa from the Himalayas, and I have joined the Motor City Machine Guns because we are the most elite team in TNA today….We are the future, not those Has Beens the Steiner Brothers or Team 3-D….and certainly not Never Will Be's like Triple X and LAX. We are the next TNA tag team champions…..mark that down in the record books before hand, because I’m as sure of it as I’m sure that by the end of the night I’ll be hooking up with some Fine Ass Tricks from the backstage area. Belie’ that!”
-----The match ends with Shelly hitting his finisher and getting the pin, but as Sabin goes in the ring to congratulate Shelly on his victory, Jay Lethal runs out in his Full Macho Man gear and attacks Sonjay Dutt at the announcer table. Before Sabin and Shelly can help Sonjay, Triple X runs down to the ring, and they brawl to the outside of the ring as we GO to COMMERCIAL.
-----We come Back from Commercial, as Lethal continues to beat on Sonjay in the ring. He prepares to drop the Big Elbow on the fallen Dutt, when a masked figure dressed all in black suddenly hits the apron and pushes Lethal off the top rope. Sonjay quickly rolls out of the ring, as the masked figure beats on Lethal. Lethal tries to fight back, but the masked figure hits the ropes and gives Lethal a flying screwdriver press, and then tosses him out of the ring. He grabs a mike, and pulls off his mask to reveal…..
RON “THE TRUTH” KILLINGS
KILLINGS: Yeah, that’s right…..I’m back up IN this Bi&ch after they tried to throw me the hell out. They tried to SILENCE “The Truth!” And why? Because I wouldn’t let them make me a total joke like Jay Lethal out there. Look at you Lethal (CUTAWAY of the dazed Lethal, who is being helped to his feet by TNA officials)….you used to be a Strong Black Man….you used to have your dignity, and now you’re a cracker ass sell-out….Mimicking some old white dude. That’s (CENSORED) pathetic!
Listen Up, TNA….”The Truth” Ron Killings has come back to take out ALL of these sellouts like Jay Lethal, and reclaim HIS place at the top of the ladder…..and there’s not a DAMN thing you racist jack asses back there can do to stop me, because if I have to…..I’ll take this WHOLE company down, person by person if I have to. And THAT…..is the DAMN TRUTH!!! (Tosses down the mike, and makes his exit through the crowd as the announcers go nuts over what just happened )
------We then CUT back to Jeremy Borash, who is with “The Punisher” Andrew Martin.
JERMEY: Thanks, Mike….I’m back here with “The Punisher” Andrew Martin, and I gotta ask you….why did you betray and attack Sting during your match last night?
PUNISHER: Why? (Laughs) Well, because for all of his Holy Rolling…..for all of his “I’m a Guardian Angel” attitude…..Sting, deep down, is no more Holy than you or I am. He’s a hypocrite…..claiming that he’s God’s Avenger, while using his Former Star Power to steal all of the spotlight and top spots from everybody else……just like every other Over the Hill fossil that doesn’t know when to call it quits.
(Looks at the camera) I’ve seen that over and over in my time in the wrestling business, Sting…..from LOTS of different guys, and it made me as sick watching you do it as it did watching them do it, but up North….I couldn’t do anything about it. But HERE…..I can…..Here, I will.
Because when I decided to call myself “The Punisher”….I didn’t mean it as just a cute nickname….something to sell T-Shirts. I chose that name because that is My new role in TNA…..the guy that takes out the Garbage….that cleans the slate off of all of the vultures like you, Sting, so that the younger and more talented guys can get their shot.
And I WILL toss you out of TNA…..I will deliver Punishment to you until you can’t take anymore, and decide to take your ball and go home…..that is my promise. Justice, Sting….Will be served. (He walks off, leaving a blown away Jeremy as we FADE to)
------A shot of Christian Cage, AJ Styles, and Tomko making their way to their respective endurances….for their match. NEXT. GO TO FINAL COMMERCIAL BREAK.
------We Come Back as Samoa Joe’s music hits, and he quickly walks down to the announcer’s table, to help commentate on this match. He thanks the announcers for having him, as the music quickly changes to Christian Cage’s entrance music/video hits, and he, AJ, and Tomko head down to the ring to start their match.
MATCH 3: Christian Cage vs. AJ Styles vs. Tomko for the #1 Contender’s Spot.
-----Once they get in the ring, Christian starts explaining that he wants one of them to lay down and let him pin them. Tomko volunteers, but as Christian goes for the pin, Tomko tosses Cage up in the air with Authority. AJ looks confused, but then tries to attack Tomko, who nails AJ and power bombs him. He tries to go for a pin, but Cage breaks it up, and both he and AJ try to double team Tomko. The match goes back and forth like that, until Tomko ends up being knocked out of the ring.
He is distracted by Samoa Joe at the announcer’s table, and starts to jaw with him, while Christian sees his opening, and motions for AJ for something. Cage pokes AJ in his chest, and AJ goes down Ala Kevin Nash to Hogan, and Cage gets the quick 1...2.…3, as Tomko turns his attention back to the match too late.
Cage and Styles celebrate in the ring, as Christian Cage has become the Official #1 Contender. Tomko looks pissed at both Cage and AJ….and himself. Suddenly, Jim Cornette comes out onto the stage.
JIM CORNETTE: (With Matt Morgan in tow) Hold up, hold up…..Stop the celebration!!! Christian….I want to congratulate you on becoming the #1 Contender, and you will Indeed face the TNA World Champion at our next ppv. However, that’s another four weeks away, and as both Joe and I figured you’d pull something like this…..we’ve decided that Joe will be a fighting champion up until he faces you at the ppv. You see, each week up until then, Joe will put his TNA World Title up against four different men…..in matches that any interference by you or anyone else will result in your LOSING your World Title shot, Christian.
And just for the record…..those four men will be: James Storm, Robert Roode, AJ Styles, and TOMKO!!! So either, you’re going to risk getting destroyed by Samoa Joe…..or we’re going to see if Friendship is REALLY stronger than the Desire to be the World Champion……or in other words, we’re going to see how well you trust your little buddies, and how much they really support you. Hit my Music!
-----Jim Cornette’s music hits as Christian Cage looks a bit worried in the ring. AJ tries to assure him that he will still do the right thing, but as we CUT outside the ring….we see Samoa Joe smiling while standing behind the announce table, and Tomko looking at Cornette, and smiling as well. FADE to….
ADRENALINE RUSH!!! ADRENALINE RUSH!!!! YOU CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE ADRENALINE RUSHHHH!!!!!
To Be Continued Next Week, Suckkkaaaaassss!!!!!
-----Preview....
---We will see a NEW X-Division Champion
---We will see the start of an 8 Team Tournement for the TNA Tag Titles
----Samoa Joe vs. James Storm for the TNA World Title
Plus.....MUCH more...

Samoa Joe defeats Kurt Angle…..during the match, Kurt’s wife comes in and teases like she’s going to hit Joe with a chair, but hits Kurt instead. This distracts Kurt enough for Joe to lock in his Submission move and make Kurt tap out. We see Joe celebrate at the end of the show, and Kurt walk away from the ring, looking Devestated.

----We see the door to the office open up behind them, as an annoyed Jim Cornette (With Matt Morgan behind him) walks in to see Nash and Kurt.
JIM CORNETTE: Hey! What the hell is going on here?!? Kurt….I haven’t seen or heard anything from you since Sunday! I was getting ready to call the Damn Police, expecting to find you passed out on the side of the road somewhere…..
KURT: (Looking up at Jim and interrupting) I’m done, Jim.
JIM: What? What do you mean you’re done?

JIM: Quit?!? You can’t quit! (Following him halfway out the door, and yelling down the hall) You’re the Number One guy in this company…..we can’t make the moves we need to make without you . Kurt!!! Come back! (Sees he’s NOT coming back, and walks back in the office) He quit! I can’t believe he really quit. (Looks at Nash) What the hell are YOU even doing in my office?
-----Nash gets up and whistles innocently as he leaves. Cornette sits down behind his desk and puts his head in his hands.
JIM: Damn…..
------FADE to the OPENING……Afterwards, we FADE in at the IMPACT ZONE, as the fans are going nuts, ready for the PPV Fallout. We CUT to Mike Teney and Don West, who start to do their hype thing, but are quickly interrupted by “The Franchise” Shane Douglas, who tells them that TNA management has ordered that their Announce Team has just been “Franchised,” and officially makes it a 3-Man Team.

It’s kind of like me…..I was Pushed and Pushed because I was the son of the Great Dusty Rhodes, and so they thought that anything that he had…. I automatically would have Plus youth, but I wasn’t ready….I wasn’t ready, and LOOK at me now. I’m a broken shell of a man…..and quite honestly, I don’t want that same fate for you, Chris.
(Raising his voice)
So I will beat you down every time you come at me…..I will DENY you that opportunity to reach the level I’ve had to crawl my way up to. Why? Because you’re NOT READY, and I will prove that to you Over and Over again.
I will show you why I am the Black Reign….because that is the darkness inside my soul coming out…..the darkness that will consume this whole company, and it will start with you Chris Harris…..you will fall to my inner darkness……and you will drown in the Black Reign.
-----FADE to BLACK and COMMERCIAL.
-----As we Come Back from Commercial, we see a White limo pulling up in the back of the Impact Zone with the members of Christian’s Coalition, who are in a celebrating mood. Jeremy Borash tries to get some words from Christian, but he tells him that he’ll hear all he needs to know by the end of the night. AJ and Roode (w/Miss. Brooks) make little comments as they brush past him, along with Tomko who just shrugs as if to say “I don’t know what the hell these guys are talking about.”…..and then they are followed up surprisingly James Storm and Miss Jackie, leaving a confused Jeremy in their dust.

Now, before I go on…..I want to say that I won these belts last Sunday NOT because I wanted or Needed to hold all of these belts, but just to prove a point. One, that I COULD win the Big One, and Two….that I COULD beat Kurt Angle. In fact, the main reason I came out here tonight….was so I could do the right thing with these other belts…..The X-Division belt and the TNA Tag Titles, but I’m going to need Jim Cornette to come out here to make things official.

-----Suddenly, Jim is cut off by Christian Cage’s mocking voice, and we soon CUT to see him and the rest of his group walking up on the stage.
CHRISTIAN: “You are a HELL of a man for doing this, Joe…” Yeah, he’s a Hell of a man….a Hell of a Smart man, as he doesn’t want to be known as the Guy who lost all of the titles in TNA to One Man…..”The Instant Classic” Christian Cage. That’s right, boys….I’m calling in my chips and asking….No, DEMANDING a title shot from Fat Joe up there. (Quick CUTAWAY of Joe looking Pissed)
Yeah, Joe….you’re SUCH a Big Man……you needed a WOMAN’S help to win the Big One last night. You took advantage of a situation and used it to get you to the top…..which, is admirable in a way, but kind of Pussyesque for someone who’s Supposed to be a Big Shooter Guy. But deep down, you know that if Kurt’s wife wouldn’t have did what she did……you’d have tapped out to Kurt Yet Again on Sunday, and would have been knocked down into the gutter with the other Jobbers…..where you belong. What do you think about that?
----CUT to Joe, who smiles.
JOE: What do I think about that? Why don’t you bring your scrawny, smarmy ass down here, Christian, and I’ll SHOW you what I think about that. That is….if you can leave your little group of Hanger Oners back there and come and Face me, that is. (We see a quick CUTAWAY of Christian starting to comply, when Cornette cuts him off)
JIM CORNETTE: (Grabbing the mike) Wait, hold on…..you just gave me an idea for Tonight’s Main Event. You were talking about having deserving guys fighting for our belts…..well, tonight, there will be a #1 Contenders Match between Three Deserving Guys for who will get the World title shot at the next ppv. Christian Cage…..you will be one of those men, and your opponents in the match will be Tomko and AJ Styles!
------We CUT to Christian, who looks confused and slightly worried. AJ Styles also looks somewhat shocked by the news, but Tomko smiles and nods. We CUT to Joe who is also smiling at the news, as the announcers put over this announcement by Jim Cornette.
-----We then FADE to COMMERCIAL
-----We Come Back from Commercial with a Group shot in a private locker room of Christian’s Coalition, with Christian in the middle, looking pissed.
CHRISTIAN: I can’t believe Cornette did that to me…..well, I CAN believe it…that Hillbilly’s been out for me since Day One……but I can’t believe he’d do this to me…..to US tonight. We should be out celebrating our victory against Sting, the Retard, and the Punisher…..not fighting amongst ourselves to see who will EVENUTALLY get a title shot at MY World Title.
AJ STYLES: Yeah, it’s REAL messed up, Christian. (Shaking his head)
CHRISTIAN: Well, I guess the question we need to ask…..is whether you guys are going to be Team Players tonight, or whether it’s every man for himself. AJ?
AJ STYLES: Hey, I’m down for whatever you want to do. I am a Team Player…100%.
CHRISTIAN: Good, good….knew I could count on you, AJ. (Glances back) Tomko, are you going to do the right thing for the Team?
TOMKO: (Smiles) You know I will, Double C…..we’re Boys and all, right?
CHRISTIAN: Awesome, awesome……(sighs)….Well, I feel a little bit better. Screw Cornette and Screw Samoa Joe….after the pay per view….I’ll be on Top of the World again, and then they can both kiss my entire white ass. Jimmy Storm!
JAMES STORM: Yeah?
CHRISTIAN: Go grab us a few of those beers that I know you have hiding in that cooler in your locker…..The Coalition is going to do a little celebrating after all, and after I become Number One contender tonight….we’ll be celebrating even more at the nearest bar. My Treat.
JAMES STORM: On it. (Walks off)
CHRISTIAN: (Camera Closes in on him) Ah….life is good.
-----We Go to another PreTaped Segment, a strange jarring promo with strange camera angles, colors, and edits. James Mitchell and Judas Messiah are standing in front of a black coffin.
MITCHEL: Abyss…..did you really think I was going to let you get away with what you did to me a couple months ago? Did you really think that aligning yourself with “The Stinger” was going to save you from my wrath? Think again.
(We see a brief recap of both Judas pulling Abyss under the ring weeks earlier and him attacking Abyss at Hard Justice, and Abyss being bloodied and beaten both times)
This is only the beginning, Abyss…..I will see you drown in your own blood….I will see you suffer until you break….I will make you watch as I tear down the little bit of a life you’ve made for yourself…..Brick by brick. And the man that will help me do all this….is my very own Judas Messiah, as he will deliver a prophecy of destruction, pain, and death unto you. (The camera pans over to Judas Messiah, who doesn’t raise his head as he speaks)
JUDAS MESSIAH: Abyss….you think you know pain? You think you know suffering? You haven’t seen nothing yet, but by the time I am done with you…..you will know, Chris….you will know.
(The camera PULLS back as Mitchell laughs and mockingly says)
MITCHEL: Click…..DOOMSDAY!!!! (Laughing more, as we FADE OUT to…..)
MATCH 2---Alex Shelly vs. Shark Boy
----We go back to the Impact Zone, as Shark Boy has made his way out to the ring for this singles match. His music is soon replaced by that of the Motor City Machine Guns: Shelly, Chris Sabin, and Sonjay Dutt, who all do a Charlie’s Angels like pose on the entrance before going down to the ring. Sonjay joins the announce team, as Sabin video tapes the match.
This is a decently short match, which is mostly dominated by Shelly (Although, Shark Boy gets some nice offense in). Sonjay proceeds to explain his betraying Jay Lethal at the ppv by cracking on his gimmick by saying, “I was sick and tired of playing that racist ass role. I mean, THE GURU?!? I’m surprised they didn’t have me as a 7/11 cashier guy, selling Slurpies to people in my promos. No, My name is Sonjay Dutt…..the One True Playa from the Himalayas, and I have joined the Motor City Machine Guns because we are the most elite team in TNA today….We are the future, not those Has Beens the Steiner Brothers or Team 3-D….and certainly not Never Will Be's like Triple X and LAX. We are the next TNA tag team champions…..mark that down in the record books before hand, because I’m as sure of it as I’m sure that by the end of the night I’ll be hooking up with some Fine Ass Tricks from the backstage area. Belie’ that!”
-----The match ends with Shelly hitting his finisher and getting the pin, but as Sabin goes in the ring to congratulate Shelly on his victory, Jay Lethal runs out in his Full Macho Man gear and attacks Sonjay Dutt at the announcer table. Before Sabin and Shelly can help Sonjay, Triple X runs down to the ring, and they brawl to the outside of the ring as we GO to COMMERCIAL.
-----We come Back from Commercial, as Lethal continues to beat on Sonjay in the ring. He prepares to drop the Big Elbow on the fallen Dutt, when a masked figure dressed all in black suddenly hits the apron and pushes Lethal off the top rope. Sonjay quickly rolls out of the ring, as the masked figure beats on Lethal. Lethal tries to fight back, but the masked figure hits the ropes and gives Lethal a flying screwdriver press, and then tosses him out of the ring. He grabs a mike, and pulls off his mask to reveal…..
RON “THE TRUTH” KILLINGS
KILLINGS: Yeah, that’s right…..I’m back up IN this Bi&ch after they tried to throw me the hell out. They tried to SILENCE “The Truth!” And why? Because I wouldn’t let them make me a total joke like Jay Lethal out there. Look at you Lethal (CUTAWAY of the dazed Lethal, who is being helped to his feet by TNA officials)….you used to be a Strong Black Man….you used to have your dignity, and now you’re a cracker ass sell-out….Mimicking some old white dude. That’s (CENSORED) pathetic!
Listen Up, TNA….”The Truth” Ron Killings has come back to take out ALL of these sellouts like Jay Lethal, and reclaim HIS place at the top of the ladder…..and there’s not a DAMN thing you racist jack asses back there can do to stop me, because if I have to…..I’ll take this WHOLE company down, person by person if I have to. And THAT…..is the DAMN TRUTH!!! (Tosses down the mike, and makes his exit through the crowd as the announcers go nuts over what just happened )
------We then CUT back to Jeremy Borash, who is with “The Punisher” Andrew Martin.
JERMEY: Thanks, Mike….I’m back here with “The Punisher” Andrew Martin, and I gotta ask you….why did you betray and attack Sting during your match last night?
PUNISHER: Why? (Laughs) Well, because for all of his Holy Rolling…..for all of his “I’m a Guardian Angel” attitude…..Sting, deep down, is no more Holy than you or I am. He’s a hypocrite…..claiming that he’s God’s Avenger, while using his Former Star Power to steal all of the spotlight and top spots from everybody else……just like every other Over the Hill fossil that doesn’t know when to call it quits.
(Looks at the camera) I’ve seen that over and over in my time in the wrestling business, Sting…..from LOTS of different guys, and it made me as sick watching you do it as it did watching them do it, but up North….I couldn’t do anything about it. But HERE…..I can…..Here, I will.
Because when I decided to call myself “The Punisher”….I didn’t mean it as just a cute nickname….something to sell T-Shirts. I chose that name because that is My new role in TNA…..the guy that takes out the Garbage….that cleans the slate off of all of the vultures like you, Sting, so that the younger and more talented guys can get their shot.
And I WILL toss you out of TNA…..I will deliver Punishment to you until you can’t take anymore, and decide to take your ball and go home…..that is my promise. Justice, Sting….Will be served. (He walks off, leaving a blown away Jeremy as we FADE to)
------A shot of Christian Cage, AJ Styles, and Tomko making their way to their respective endurances….for their match. NEXT. GO TO FINAL COMMERCIAL BREAK.
------We Come Back as Samoa Joe’s music hits, and he quickly walks down to the announcer’s table, to help commentate on this match. He thanks the announcers for having him, as the music quickly changes to Christian Cage’s entrance music/video hits, and he, AJ, and Tomko head down to the ring to start their match.
MATCH 3: Christian Cage vs. AJ Styles vs. Tomko for the #1 Contender’s Spot.
-----Once they get in the ring, Christian starts explaining that he wants one of them to lay down and let him pin them. Tomko volunteers, but as Christian goes for the pin, Tomko tosses Cage up in the air with Authority. AJ looks confused, but then tries to attack Tomko, who nails AJ and power bombs him. He tries to go for a pin, but Cage breaks it up, and both he and AJ try to double team Tomko. The match goes back and forth like that, until Tomko ends up being knocked out of the ring.
He is distracted by Samoa Joe at the announcer’s table, and starts to jaw with him, while Christian sees his opening, and motions for AJ for something. Cage pokes AJ in his chest, and AJ goes down Ala Kevin Nash to Hogan, and Cage gets the quick 1...2.…3, as Tomko turns his attention back to the match too late.
Cage and Styles celebrate in the ring, as Christian Cage has become the Official #1 Contender. Tomko looks pissed at both Cage and AJ….and himself. Suddenly, Jim Cornette comes out onto the stage.
JIM CORNETTE: (With Matt Morgan in tow) Hold up, hold up…..Stop the celebration!!! Christian….I want to congratulate you on becoming the #1 Contender, and you will Indeed face the TNA World Champion at our next ppv. However, that’s another four weeks away, and as both Joe and I figured you’d pull something like this…..we’ve decided that Joe will be a fighting champion up until he faces you at the ppv. You see, each week up until then, Joe will put his TNA World Title up against four different men…..in matches that any interference by you or anyone else will result in your LOSING your World Title shot, Christian.
And just for the record…..those four men will be: James Storm, Robert Roode, AJ Styles, and TOMKO!!! So either, you’re going to risk getting destroyed by Samoa Joe…..or we’re going to see if Friendship is REALLY stronger than the Desire to be the World Champion……or in other words, we’re going to see how well you trust your little buddies, and how much they really support you. Hit my Music!
-----Jim Cornette’s music hits as Christian Cage looks a bit worried in the ring. AJ tries to assure him that he will still do the right thing, but as we CUT outside the ring….we see Samoa Joe smiling while standing behind the announce table, and Tomko looking at Cornette, and smiling as well. FADE to….
ADRENALINE RUSH!!! ADRENALINE RUSH!!!! YOU CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE ADRENALINE RUSHHHH!!!!!
To Be Continued Next Week, Suckkkaaaaassss!!!!!
