This Saturday they'll be a special one night only Eric's Explanations for reasons that'll be explained on Impact. If anyone wants on the show, feel free to pm or respond in thread. This isn't like the one guest per show style, the more the merrier.
Also: I have no clue what is going on with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, but I'd really like Eric Young vs Mr. Anderson next week, whether he is champ or not. Obviously, its up to Jono, but I just wanted to make the request now, before someone else might.

I don't really want to do this, but I think we're going to need more time to finish the Impact opening, since I won't be around in the afternoon. I might be able to run it Friday, but if not, would Sunday be OK?
I'm sorry to have to change the day of the show twice so early into my run, but this promo is too important.

Either one of those days are fine by me. And one thing thats quickly becoming apparent to me, is that script promos may be the best way to go. It gets a lot more done, a lot quicker. Like promos that would take days to circulate can get done in one evening. If you give everyone a general "this is what to say", then everyone can give their own flavor to it, and the other person already knows where its leading to. I've done that with NeXT promos with Cageking and Armbar, with the really good Swagger/Henry promo with Tank, and every Maryse/Kharma promo with SNS, and its definitely worked out well. To each their own, obviously. But that's just a suggestion. Back to the scheduling thing. If that's the case, and the show is going to be Friday or Sunday, then I'll reveal the point of the Eric's Explanations now. {Spoiler}Celebration for Eric Young tying Tommy Mercer's 2nd longest Legend's Championship reign, at 117 days. Still, since its a one night revival, if people want to be guests, Bischoff can also interview them.
Also, the next impact, EY and Anderson will be tied with 121 days, which is why I wanted the match.

I've done that with NeXT promos with Cageking and Armbar, with the really good Swagger/Henry promo with Tank, and every Maryse/Kharma promo with SNS, and its definitely worked out well. To each their own, obviously. But that's just a suggestion. This type of promoing works well if all parties already know the direction that the promo/story needs to go, but gives alot of control over the entire thing to the person that initially assembles the layout. So people have to be willing to give up a little control. Its been done in the past in parts, but usually a group promo when people are aware that someone will not be around to put their part in til later... and they usually leave a "put x wrestlers's stuff here". But what spartan is talking about is doing a "fill in the blank" type promo from start to finish then handing it over to the other person to fill in those blanks. Here's an example of one Spartan and I did in WWE: {Spoiler}OOC: left ------- where your involvement is wanted/needed. I bolded some parts that I felt you might want to use as is, but feel free to not use them and replace them with your own way of saying it. It was mainly to help my flow of the promo without having to do back and forth with you.
-------- kharma's lead in to calling Maryse out
[yt ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYQyyDc4Kbc[/yt ]
*Maryse begins to come out...*
--------- Kharma says to cut the music. Saying that until further notice, Maryse will not get any entrance fanfare.
*Maryse opens her mouth in shock. Then purses her lips and makes her way down to the ring. She asks for a mic, but Kharma stops her.*
--------- Kharma says that Maryse will have a chance to talk, but only when she's given permission to. Then go into the explaination of how maryse needs to make amends to the fans blah blah... and now it is time for her to say she is sorry to them.
*Maryse takes the mic.*
You want me to say 'I'm sorry.' *Kharma shakes her head yes* And all you fans want me to say 'I'm sorry' to you, eh? *The fans cheer.* Yea, not going to happen.
*Kharma gets in close and says something to Maryse. You can overhear the phrase breach of contract.*
Ok ok. I get it. Fine. WWE Universe.... I'm sorry... *The fans cheer.*
Yea, I'm sorry... Sorry that you are a bunch of losers that have no real concept of what a true diva really is. Ha ha ha. *Crowd boos loudly*
--------- Kharma takes the mic and talks about how Maryse found away around what was intended. But if she wants to play the literal game, fine. Tell these fans... Maryse is conceited.
*Maryse takes the mic. And shrugs* Maryse is conceited.
*Kharma feeds another line.* Maryse is egotistical.
*Kharma feeds another line. Maryse pauses longer than before* Maryse is a b... *Maryse drops her hand with the mic away from her. Kharma snatches it*
--------- Oh no, we need to make sure everyone can here this. Once more, so that everyone can here.
*Maryse looks very annoyed.* Maryse.... is a BITCH! Okay! Happy n...
--------- Almost. Just one more, and you can be done. And here it is... *Whispers in Maryse ear... she gives a shocked expression.*
You can't...
--------- Do it. Or else.
*Maryse is fuming.* Maryse's... entire career in the WWE... can be summed up by a single... and paltry... two month Women's title reign.
--------- Kharma thanks Maryse and then roll into the implant buster. Mention something about seeing her next week.
In this one, I laid it all out. I left alot open for spartan to put his own twist on what Kharma said, but he knew the flow of how it needed to transition back to Maryse. I believe this is the one where he even scrapped an entire suggestion and replaced it with a better one, but was able to do it where my initial input stayed in tact. This promo only took two PMs and was finished within two hours start to finish. Had we done it back and forth, we may have come up with the same promo, but would have taken alot more PMs and alot more than two hours. Would get a little more involved with more than two people, but haven't tried that yet. edit: you'd figure since I coded the spoiler tag, that I would know how to use it.

Yeah, most of the Daffney/Taylor promos were written like that. Mainly because Hayden takes forever to answer his PMs and if I waited on him to go back and forth then things would never get done.

I will occasionally do these types of promos, depending on how many people are involved. A lot of the McMahon Administrations were this style. I find it's both good and bad. It can limit the others, but at the same time, if someone doesn't respond in time, their part can just be cut out without the promo having to be shelved for a week.

TNA.com VIDEO exclusive Eric Bischoff presents:Eric's Explanations With Special Guests: Eric Young, Rosita Hello, this is Eric Bischoff with a one night only return of Eric's Explanations to celebrate the amazing battles EY has faced. This will not be sticking to the traditional show format, but is more just a fun get together for old time's sake. A quick show, to celebrate the amazing 117 day reign as Legend's Champ. So lets move on to our guest for the evening. And who else, but the women that's been a thorn in my side for a long time, Rosita.Suicide makes her way and takes a seat next to Bischoff. So, I'd like to make this as quick as possible. I asked others to show up, no one wanted to. I don't like you, you don't like me. So first question...What are you talking about? Who said I didn't like you?Um, well, nobody I guess. Its more your actions. Terrorizing me week in and week out...Terrorizing? I was having letters dropped off. Letters trying to get you to be my manager.Well, um, when you put it that way... so anyway, time for those questions. Um, kind of caught me off guard. A lot of these three don't really work with you being nice to me. How about this, because quite frankly, I'm confused. Why do you keep seeking me out? Why did you start off by sending letters to Jesse?Honestly. The original plan was for me to steal Sorensen from you. I wanted him all to myself. So while I kept wanting him to go crazy for the audience against the top competitors, you kept making the same mistakes you had started already doing. Suggesting the easy path, facing no names. Eventually, a wedge would form between the two of you, and Sorensen would be all mine.
But, that didn't happen. But while I hung out with Jesse while he was recuperating and I told him what I was planning to do, he got pretty upset. He liked you, and told me something that I've since realized for myself. You're like a goofy father figure. Me and him can still be the power couple, and we can just have you as the background figure, to keep up in line. Thats the main reason I want you to be my manager. Sorensen already spent some time with you, and I'd like a chance too.Hmm. Again, this is all kind of coming out of left field. Well, if I manage you, will you stop wearing the suicide gear?No, I need this. For reasons that'll become clear later. For now, all I can say, is that I want to become one half of the power couple... well, first I'm going to have to hope the other half returns someday. And second, I'm going to need to become the top Knockout. More important than Winter, Daffney, and Traci, combined. And for that, sometimes you need some variables, the top one being surprise. So, no. But I still want a partnership.I'm seriously considering it, if you answer this final question correctly. If I align myself with you, I want us to follow the rules. I don't want to become the man I used to be. I just want to be the goofy guy who jokes around, not trying for another power grab.Thats all I'm hoping for. You can be the manager, and if ever you're not liking the way this is going, you'll be free to walk out. So is it a deal?Rosita sticks out her hand. Bischoff bats it away and gives a hug. Ladies and gentlemen, my newest client, Rosita!Suicide exits. Well, that was certainly interesting. Up now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Bring him out, EY, ERIC YOUNG!Eric comes out in a very nice suit, with the Legend's Championship wrapped around his waist. So you got yourself a client again. That's good, I was getting sick of you bugging me.
*smirks*
But seriously, I'm up for helping out with anything. What do you want to bring back? Impact predictions? This Week in TNA?No, no. If only have one segment left, we both know what it should be. Three Eric Young themed questions in this special edition of "Let Your Voice Be Heard". Maddie171 writes:Oh, wow. Well Maddie171, each month, as the reign started growing, the challengers seemed harder. But in terms of career importance, that first defense, where I retired Tommy Dreamer. That's something no one else can claim. It solidified my legitimacy and really proved that I was ready for this Legend's Division.Up next, UltimoEnigma writes:Well to answer part one, UltimoEnigma, yeah, it was incredibly awesome.
As for the second part, well, right now I'm more worried about my match than my entrance. But while nothing is planned out yet, I'd certainly be willing to have them back to perform another song. It created a great environment last time, and they're wrestling fans, so it was great hanging with them.Final question from me. I'm putting you on the hot seat. Does Eric Young main event Bound for Glory?Ugh, its tough to say, Eric. Right now, the title is up in the air, I don't even know if my shot stands or not. But I'm going to do everything within my power to prove it true. Which means, if somehow, along this journey, I lose my Legend's Championship, I'm going for the TNA World Championship. That's not a warning, its a promise. So if I'm a top dog in this company, I'd be hoping/praying that EY stays victorious in the Legend's Division. Because next Thursday, when I tie the record for longest reign, I've proven that I'm Legendary. And when that happens... its time to go for the top belt in the company. So right now, I'm deadset on being the greatest Legend's Champion in TNA history, but the moment this belt leaves my waist, I start my journey to become the greatest TNA World Heavyweight Champion. So to answer your question, I honestly don't know. But I'm going to do everything in my power to prove it true. But as for now, I stand at 117 days as Legend's Champion. Lets hope the next 117 are just as fun. Ha, great attitude. This was a fun little throwback, but I'm starting to realize why I enjoy managing better. Less work? Exactly. Tune in to a special Sunday Impact tomorrow, featuring EY, RVD, Kid Kash, and many more. As always, this is Eric Bischoff, signing off.

Whoever has the most recent version of the opening promo for Impact, please send it to me when you get a chance. I might move the start time to five, in order to get the show in order.

Well I don't have it. But I don't have anything to add anyway. And I can't think of anything for Daffney and Winter to say so I think I'm done for this week.

Tenay: Welcome to TNA Impact! I'm Mike Tenay alongside Don West. Lockdown is behind us and what a show it was! West: It was, Mike. We crowned new Women's Tag Team Champions in Winter and Daffney. Tenay: Of course, Lockdown was not without controversy, as the ending of Lethal Lockdown left the everyone wondering who the TNA World Champion is!
The Revelation come down to the ring, led by Vince Russo who is proudly carrying the TNA World Championship. They enter the ring and Roode hands Russo the microphone.
At Lockdown, The Revelation did what we said we would do! Thanks to our brother Abyss, the TNA World Championship is back where it belongs.
*The crowd gives Abyss a mixed reaction.*
Good work Chris. But now you know what you must do, don't you?
....................................
*Abyss looks around the ring as if listening for something, then turns to Sting, conflicted.*
Yes Brother Chris. You must do the right thing. We need a referee out here!
Earl Hebner makes his way to ringside.
You did well Chris. Now it's time for you to lay down...
Hey, wait a minute...
Yeah, man. We've got the title back. Does it matter which one of us is holding it?
AJ Styles, Christopher Dnaiels and Frankie Kazarian make their way to the ring.
Hey, hold on a second. With the six of you out here, I'm sure you don't mind me bringing out my backup. But I'm not here to fight. Russo, since you seem to be making the decisions around here there are some things I need to talk to you about. Now at Lockdown we couldn't help but notice the Guns running their mouths as they usually do. But this was different. This time they were actually right! Chris?
Well I did notice that Sabin and Shelley paid particular attention to us. In particular they asked why I wasn't challenging for the Legends Championship instead of Robbie E, if youw ere really that starved of challengers that you had to double book the X Division Champion. That's exactly what I said last week!
They also pointed out that instead of giving me an X Division title match, you gave one to the Rainbow Kid. Some goofball in a mask. No offense.
Why would I be offended?
Point is, that is also exactly what I said last week!
So we want you to rectify these two oversights. And if it's not to much trouble, give us a match with Shelley and Sabin. Tonight.
In addition to that, there is also the main reason we are out here. I pinned Sting at Lockdown. Everybody saw it. So if you were going to do the right thing, you'd be taking that championship and handing it to me. I am the rightful TNA World Champion. I know it, Chris knows it, Frankie knows it, you know, Dinero and Val know it, Roode knows it, Sting knows, even this big dumb son of a bitch knows it. And all of these people and everybody back in thet lockerrom knows it. If Jeff Jarrett was here, that's what he would do. Because it is the right thing to do.
But Jeff Jarrett isn't here, AJ. And it doesn't matter, because Abyss pinned the TNA World Champion and that's the only thing that matters!
AJ, the fact of the matter is this, you got lucky. You scored that pinfall after someone else did the work. You may have pinned me, but Ken Anderson defeated me.
And now that The Revelation controls the title again, neither one of you is getting a title shot...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Ric Flair struts out with a microphone.
Gentlemen, sorry it took me so long to get here, I had some business down south.
Stinger, you assaulted Jeff Jarrett, and you think that gives you the right to declare yourself the man in charge?
I think you've forgotten something, remember a few months back when Jarrett had to take a leave of abscence?
Well, it just so happens, that when you assaulted Jeff, that little emergency protocol kicked in, which means that, as of right now, I'M THE MAN!
I'm the Acting Management Director, Stinger, so you're going to listen to me right now.
There is no way in hell I'm going to allow you to force Abyss to lay down and give you that title.
*applause*
Not only because things don't work that way around here, but because that belt isn't his to give.
*applause*
Now, AJ, I feel for you, pal, I really do, and it's true that you pinned Sting.
But Abyss pinned the champion at the same time.
Which, last time I checked, means that since a member of each team scored a pinfall simultaneously, that the match ended in a draw.
And in the case of a draw, the title does not change hands.
Therefore, Mr. Anderson is STILL the TNA Heavyweight Champion.
Mr. Anderson makes his way out to the ring.
Let me be the first to say that it's good to have you back, Ric.
So, if you don't mind, sir, I'd like to go and get my belt.....
Not so fast, Ken.
The fact is, while the match was a draw, you did get pinned.
So here's what I'm going to do.
We'll do this the way they do it in other sports, As of this moment, Ken Anderson is the TNA Interim Heavyweight Champion.
The title, however, is vacant.
The way I see it, Abyss and AJ are both entitled to a match against the Interim Champion.
However, in the interest of fairness, since Sting never received his one on one rematch for the title, he gets a shot as well.
Therefore, at Sacrifice, it will be a Fatal Four Way match for the title.
So, Stinger, Abyss, you need to give that belt to me.
No! Ric Flair, I don't care about whatever emergency plans you and Jarrett had in place. I couldn't care less about what you have to say. The TNA World Title belongs to The Revelation!
As Russo is ranting, Abyss hands Flair the belt. The rest of the Revelation looks angered, but Flair just grins and lets out a "woo!" before exiting the ring.
Tenay: Wow! Big announcement for Sacrifice! West: Can Flair do that? Where's the paperwork? Where's the legal documentation?! Tenay: We'll be back with our opening contest in just a moment!

*Lace and Leather are shown in the back. Lacey looks annoyed as Traci is talking to her.*
You know I didn't mean it. It was Lockdown! I had a title defense! I was stressing out. I didn't know what I was saying.
*Lacey turns away from her.*
We've been friends for way too long, you can't let one slip of the tongue ruin it, can you?
*Lacey shifts her eyes towards Traci*
Remember the time when we went shopping for clothes, and you somehow managed to get me walking around the store in that lacey nighty? I was so embarassed!
*Lacey relaxes her shoulders and gives a small smile.*
And remember the time when you and I won the women's tag titles? We dominated the division for nearly a year.
*Lacey turns to Traci.*
What do you say... forgive and forget? Come on. You know you want to.
*Lacey appears ready to say something, when suddenly there is a knock on the door. Trish enters.*
Hey LnL. If you have a second, I'd really like to talk to you two.
Oh... its you. I know why your here. I get it. You're coming after my title. I don't know what I'm in for. When is all said and done, you will be Women's Champion... yada yada yada.
Not exactly. Though that is kind of why I'm here.
Traci, your reign has been tough. You've been unstoppable in your singles matches. And to be honest, I wouldn't want to risk facing you in the ring. You'd be so focused on retaining you might bust up my pretty face.
So thats why I wanted to tell you that I'm challenging for the Knockout Tag Titles, not your Women's Championship.
Yea, ok. Like I'm stupid enough to believe that. Do you think you are talking to Lac... err... a totally stupid person here? And even if you do decide to go for the tag titles, I'm not sure why you are in here telling me about it. Now... go away. Shoo.
Well, thats all I wanted to talk to you about, now I want to speak to Lacey.
*Both Traci and Lacey appear surprised by this. *
Lacey, I'd like your help.
If I'm going to go for the tag titles, I'm going to need some help. And out of everyone on the roster, I'd like to team with you the most.
Me and you are kind of similar. I mean, I may be a bit more "promiscuous" than you, but at the end of the day, we're both just looking to have a bit of fun.
Hey! I make lots of promises too!
That's not what she said. Though, suprisingly interchangable.
*Lacey nods.*
And I mean, you've won the tag titles before. You'd have the smarts and experience our team needs.
*Traci nearly chokes herself holding back a laugh.*
And I think we can be a great team, Lacey, especially since your current partner is more focused on a singles career.
*Traci shoots Trish an evil look.*
No offense, Traci. I just think this tag team would be a great move for both Lacey's career, as well as my own. So Lacey, what do you say?
*Trish holds a hand out for a handshake.*
Yea, ok. I've let this go on long enough. She's part of Lace and Leather... not Lace and Laughingstock. Time for you to go!
*Traci shoves Trish out the door.*
Let me know when you reach a decision, Lac...
*The door is slammed in Trish's face. She dusts her hands*
There, now that the garbage has been taken out. Can you believe the nerve of her. Thinking you would be interested in joining her.
*Traci turns to Lacey, who appears to be in thought.*
You're not actually considering it... are you!?
*Lacey sheepishly looks up at Traci as Traci stands there in shock.*
Scene fades.
