OPENING TALKY SEGMENT
TNA World Champion Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring to kick off the show. He says since Crimson called him out last week, that this week, he would call out Crimson. Crimson makes his way out, limping due to the damage that Angle did to him. Angle says Crimson asked for a match last week, which impressed Angle. Angle Says Crimson has balls, or he is a complete jackass. Two months ago he was Red’s little brother, but now, he is a someone thanks to Angle. Angle says he knows Crimson wants to be famous, and Angle will do that tonight. Angle will end the undefeated streak as well as Crimson’s career. It’s the price he pays for disrespect. Crimson says Angle disrespected him by attacking him from behind. That is why they are fighting. Angle alls Crimson a nobody and says Crimson has to EARN his respect. Crimson promises to do that tonight. Crimson says if Angle wants to take out the young guns, he can try to start with him tonight. Tonight, he will stand toe to toe with Angle and earn his respect.

Immortal comes out to the ring now, led by Bully Ray. Abyss, Gunner, Steiner Jeff and Karen are all there to join the party. Angle doesn’t exactly look happy about them crashing things. Ray asks Crimson if he is serious. Ray says this is Kurt FREAKIN Angle. An Olympic Gold Medallist, the world champion… Angle cuts him off as Ray was saying he is a part of Immortal. Angle wants to handle this himself, and says if anyone gets involved in his match tonight, they will have a problem. Angle tells Crimson it is time to become famous. Angle leaves the ring and that’s that.

-We see Bischoff backstage talking with Flair, and he is not happy. He tries to tell him Sting is a different man now, and that they need to make the challenge go away. Hogan says he has been a wreck since last week. Flair says he is not Gunner and can take care of Sting. Hogan refuses to get into the ring with Sting, and Flair’s challenge could make it happen. Hogan says Sting is like a superhuman now and then says he will end it tonight. They will go to the ring, and make things right with Sting and end all of he craziness. Hogan then begs Flair to have his back and not say one word. Flair promises to be silent. Is that like a promise he made to creditors to repay loans?

Sarita tags back in, Sky sloppily fights back and Love tags herself in. She talks smack with Rosita, that allows Sky to make what you could describe as a comeback. All six are in and we have a brawl here. Sky and Love back in the ring, Mexican America tries to distract the ref and Love gets the back stabber deal on Sky. ODB and Moore in, Love allows then to attack Sky, but they decline and they attack Love, double team suplex and then they put Sky on top and the ref counts 3.

10PM TALKY SEGMENT
Hogan and Flair make their way to the ring. Hogan fixes his extensions and says the main problem they have is that they have a problem. He calls out Sting to face the music, brother. Sting makes his way out to the ring. Hogan says that Sting is way out thee over the edge. He then says that enough. Enough. This thing has gone way too far brother, and it has to end tonight. Hogan says that Sting is a complete wreck, no fries left in the happy meal if you will. Hogan says Sting is not in his right mind. He asks if Sting wants the little Stingers to look up to him like the Hulkamaniacs look up too him. This is a family show brother. Hogan then says MAYBE he is partially to blame. Maybe he and Eric made mistakes, but they are human. They have learned. From now on, they will run the company properly, and be the standard bearer in the industry for what a company should be. It is time to end the madness brother, what do you say?

Sting says under one condition. Hogan says ok as long as they get on the same page. Hogan says eh will do anything. Sting confirms this, and says milk and cookies for all. Colorful balloons, rainbows and even a unicorn. Puppy dogs all around. Flowers, he just loves flowers. Flowers all over the place. Of course, red and yellow. Hug? Sting wants to hug it out brother. They hug and Sting kisses Hogan. FLAIR IS PISSED and grabs the mic. He calls Sting a stupid son of a bitch. This is not a game, I AM RIC FLAIR GET IT? You want crazy? He elbows drops the ring, and says he was crazy when Sting was sucking his mommy’s tit. Flair then says he has the edge, because, when it comes time to kill, you respect me too much too hurt me. Flair knows Sting respects him too much to go for the kill, and that is when Flair will kick his ass. Flair calls him a jackass, and Sting mocks Flair and says FINALLY someone he can relate too around here, and he is glad that Flair is back. Sting says he will go through Flair to get to Hogan. He then says if you point that finger at me again, I will bite it off. Sting will start with Flair, and then, Bound for Glory, he and Hogan blow it up. Flair calls Sting an asshole, and Sting says TA-TA FOR NOW.

AJ STYLES TALKS TO DANIELS
AJ Styles makes his way out to the ring. AJ says he has an answer for Daniels, so come out and get it. Daniels makes his way to the ring. AJ says he is not mad, BUT, when he went to commentary and put their business out there, he gets it, but did he have to announce it to the world. So lets end this in public, right here and now. AJ asks why Daniels needs the rematch, because he does not understand. Daniels says that at Destination X it was about the X-Division. And it was a great night, but he lost. The next day, he looked at himself, and asked himself, does he still have what it takes to be in TNA. Daniels says when he could not compete at a top level, he would walk away. He had to ask himself, and he was scared, because he doesn’t know the answer to the question. He asked AJ about it, and AJ blew him off. He came back to TNA, joined Fortune, and went through a table all for AJ. All he asks about is the rematch, because he needs to know, it is time to walk away from the only thing he was ever good at. Daniels gets emotional and AJ stops him. No long passionate kiss, but AJ says to look at him, May have spoke too soon. AJ agrees to do it one more time, because they are friends. THEY HUG IT OUT! Daniels says he will see him at No Surrender, but AJ squashes that due to the BFG series, and says they will do it next week. AJ then says he is about to kick some Immortal ass.

Falls Count Anywhere: Bully Ray, Gunner, and Scott Steiner vs. AJ Styles and Beer Money
Fortune attacks before the bell and we have a big old brawl on the floor. As we have our brawl, Abyss watches on from the ramp. Gunner and AJ in the ring now, so I guess we are officially underway. AJ hits the dropkick combo and looks for a cover, but Gunner bails. Steiner plays lucha rules and slides in and suplexes AJ. Joking kids, I know there are no tag rules. Chops follow, AJ out and Roode into the ring and takes out Steiner. To the second rope, blockbuster connects and a cover gets 2 as Ray makes the save. Ray MISSES the corner charge, eats a boot from Storm. Cross body follows and Storm gets 2. Double team suplex…BEER…MONEY~! They spill to the floor, and AJ is in and gets a SWEET dive onto Ray on the floor. AJ buckles his knee and is now limping. They are brawling all around the building as we get the split screen now. Beer Money take Steiner and Gunner into the back of the building and the battle continues as Immortal gets the better of the battle/ AJ with the superman forearm in the ring and covers for 2. Rights by AJ follow. They trade shots, enziguri by AJ and Gunner is now back in the ring. AJ fights them off, but Steiner is back and the numbers game get to him, and Ray gets the full nelson bomb for the win.

That was a lot of fun.
