411’s IMPACT WRESTLING REPORT 1.09.14

  • From the new Impact Zone in Orlando, FL.
  • Dixie Carter makes her way to the ring to kick off the show, and she is not a happy panda. She will not waste time on AJ Styles, she has the one night contract, and wants him to come out and sign it so that they can get on with the match later tonight. AJ makes his way to the ring. Dixie says AJ doesn’t have to say a word, she just wants him to sign his contract for tonight. Dixie then says the lawyers got invoked, and the people need to know what the deal is. It is for one match, one night, title for title against Magnus. She is giving him a lot in this contract, but she wants something in return. The match will be a NO DQ match. Because she will never rest until she never has to look at his face again. Because when she thinks of their last time together, she wants him bloody, bruised and stretchered out. So sign the contract. AJ mocks her a bit, and says she has a lot of confidence in her paper champion, but she had faith at BFG and lost it all there. The Carters do not learn. Winner take all, no more stupid Dixieland matches or tournaments, one man and one title forever. When he wins tonight, he is the undisputed champion. AJ then adds that her goons will not get involved. He has boys in the back that hate Dixie as much as he does, and they will have no issues evening the odds. Dixie says she gave him everything, she signed his checks, put food on the table for his little redneck kids. While some may want to help, they won’t, because she owns them. She made AJ, and in the end, she cannot wait to break him. AJ wonders how she will break him, maybe like she did to Jeff Hardy? The people know she doesn’t get wrestling. Tonight is about men fighting for a title, and the belt has gotten more respect away from her company with him.

    Magnus then makes his way out. Magnus asks for Dixie to leave the ring because this is between he and AJ. They go face to face, and Magnus says this is the last time AJ calls him a paper champion. AJ’s time is up and over, and he ran away with the title, but is back because he needs attention. Tonight, Magnus will end AJ, and there will be one man left standing, one champion, and that will be Magnus. Magnus leaves and AJ signs the contract and throws it to the floor. AJ says tonight, he didn’t get here by taking shortcuts like Magnus. It was 11 years of hard work, his blood, sweat and tears. So despite what they think, he will walk out with honor, respect and dignity, and as the TNA World Champion. And then what will Dixie do then? Maybe Magnus can take his lips off of her ass and ask.

  • Kim and Tapa have a mystery meeting with Dixie.
  • Dixie then meets with the Bro Mans. They tell her it is all good.

    Non-Title Match: Bro Mans © (Jessie and Robbie) w/DJ Zema Ion vs. Joseph Park and Eric Young

  • After the match they get a section of the barricade, and slide it in the ring. They hit the Bro Down onto the barricade.
  • Samoa Joe meets with Dixie Carter. He says that AJ said he had backup, and she hopes she knows what that means. He doesn’t threaten ladies, but this is him telling her is she has plans to mess with AJ, she will have to go through him. She says she made Joe, and will break him if she has too. But Joe has a match tonight, against EC3. So he should focus on getting out of there is one piece. Joe says EC3’s blood in on her hands tonight.

  • Joe Park is receiving medical attention backstage.

He asks what happened to her, and she said she’s the boss, and he is a wrestler. She says to focus on his match tonight, and she will handle the casualties. Dixie ends the conversation and tells Sting to get out of her face.

  • Angle is in the ring awaiting his opponent. Bobby Roode comes out, and Angle’s fine with this. Roode says in seven days, they will be locked in a steel cage, and at Genesis, he will prove that he is the better than Angle. And when he beats Angle next week, the TNA HOF induction will be gone forever. But as for tonight, Roode found a challenge for Angle. He says to look at him, because he is right here. If you want him tonight, that would be stupid. Roode says Angle has to wait, but for tonight, he has someone who hates Angle more than him. In fact, he found two guys. Bad Influence.
