411’s IMPACT WRESTLING REPORT 2.27.14

Match times are not exact.

We get highlights from last week’s show.

Gunner is backstage, looking for James Storm. When Storm shows up, Gunner says he doesn’t have a chance in hell.

Dixie is not here tonight, so Magnus, EC3 and Bobby Roode have matchmaking power for the show.

MVP makes his way to the ring. MVP says big things are poppin, and Dixie’s BS is stopping. The half man and half amazing, jaw droppin, modern day Mack is back in London. He promises Gunner a rematch once he gets full control of TNA. But since the title was defended last week, Magnus defends the title against Joe at Lockdown. Joe now makes his way to the ring, followed by Magnus. MVP asks where Magnus’ Sugar Mamma is, and Magnus gets in the mic and says that Dixie is not here is because Magnus reminded her that this city is not what it used to be, due to people like MVP. The city has degenerated into crime and debauchery. This place has gone to hell ever since Magnus left. But when it comes to handling his business, all he needs is himself. MVP has a contract for their title match. MVP adds that he knows how Magnus has been defending his title, and at Lockdown, the Magnus rules will not be in effect, but the Joe rules will be. The match can only be won by submission or knockout.

Joe signs the contract, and Magus is reluctant to sign and reminds Joe that he has a whole bag of tricks he hasn’t even used yet. He calls Joe an unrefined and dangerous animal, which is why the people chant Joe is gonna kill you. But remember, they put down dangerous animals. Magnus is an articulate, refined representative of the industry, which is why Joe will never again represent TNA as the champion. Magnus signs the contract and they go face to face. Magnus talks some trash and they brawl! Joe works over Magnus in the corner after a head butt, and is kicking the shit out of the champion. MVP watches on as referees pull Joe off. MVP then tells Joe to save it for the cage, but he chases Magnus up the ramp and continues the beat down.

We get footage of the Wolves winning the tag team titles over the weekend and the BroMans wanting to get revenge. They find Bobby Roode and want to be on his Lockdown team to get revenge. He says they lost to the Wolves, just like Bad Influence. Tonight the Wolves vs. Bad Influence vs. The BroMans is set, if they win they are in.

Bobby Roode meets with Austin Aries. They argue over the “fluke” when Aries won the title. They discuss the Lockdown match, and Roode says Aries cannot trust MVP. Aries says he cannot trust Roode either. Aires then says this is all about Roode getting 10% of TNA. Roode says Aries has to make the right decision.

EC3 announces Douglas Williams as his opponent. EC3 says just like the US will win the World Cup in SOCCER, he will defeat him tonight.

James Storm arrives.

James Storm makes his way to the ring. He says that he doesn’t run or hide, so if Gunner wants to know why he did what he did last week, well here he is. Gunner makes his way to the ring. Storm tells Gunner to hear him out, but Gunner wants to bash his head in. Storm says he screwed him last week, and he had it planned out since Gunner stole the title shot from him. Storm wanted Gunner to know how it felt. But when Gunner handed him the tag title briefcase, like a dog looking for scraps, well he doesn’t take a back seat to anyone. Storm says Gunner was NOTHING before they teamed, and says Gunner used him to make a name for himself and Gunner never thanked him. Gunner says it is sad that Storm believes that, because Gunner worked for everything he got. He stood by Storm, and the reason Storm can sit home and drink cold beer because of Gunner and soldiers like him. Storm says no one cares about Gunner, but Gunner says his friends and family cared. Storm says no one owes Gunner a damn thing. Gunner attacks and they brawl. Storm tries to use a chair, misses and then bails through the crowd.

MVP meets with Austin Aries, who feels he is so popular he could run for president. MVP says he needs a decision on Lockdown. Aries says he is on the fence, and MVP says Roode would say anything to get him on his team. Aries feels MVP would do the same and says you cannot trust anyone. Aries isn’t just about money, he wants to be the greatest. Aries wants MVP to prove it and wants to see things up close and personal. He wants to referee their match. MVP wants to know what will stop Aries from screwing him. MVP says he will take the chance and makes Aries the referee, and tells MVP that he needs to be ready because Roode is the real deal.

Kurt Angle’s Hall of Fame Ceremony
Jeremy Borash discusses Kurt Angle’s career accomplishments, overcoming his broken FREAKEN neck and his arrival in TNA. We now get a special video package on Angle’s career. Angle now makes his way to the ring. Borash welcomes him to the TAN Hall of Fame, and presents him with a Rolex. Angle and Borash hug, and Angle now has the mic. Angle thanks the fans for the ovation, and says this is an honor. This isn’t all about him or TNA, this is really about all of the fans. Because without the fans, TNA would not exist. He was supposed to accept this in October, but he didn’t think that he was in the best of places, both personally and professionally. He says he had to do some soul searching and change things, and after over four months, he is ready to accept here in London, England. From getting himself clean and his matches with Bobby Roode, all he can do it thank people that helped. He thanks the good lord, his beautiful wife who was his rock, his kids who he wants to make proud, the amazing talent in the back and each and every one of the fans. Tonight is a great night to be Kurt Angle, God bless…

EC3 now makes his arrival and says he is all emotional about this, but he just so happens to have a touching tribute video of his own. It is a comical pop up video presentation of EC3 beating down Angle a few weeks ago. He then says he is depriving the fans of the big news. Angle asks what the news is and invites EC3 to the ring to share this news. EC3 heads to the podium and has a paper that says “I beat Sting (and hurt Kurt)”. He says that he has a report that says Angle suffered an ACL an MCL injury due to the savage attack of EC3, and may never be able to perform again. EC3 apologizes and say she got out of hand. He just wanted to send a message, but out of respect to Angle, he feels Angle should retire. Angle asks why EC3 would get in the ring when he knows Angle would rip out his throat. EC3 says his knee is torn up, and unless there is an Olympic sport for gimping, he would be able to get away. Angle says EC3 should have went to the source to confirm this, while EC3 says the internet is always right 50% of the time. Angle says as the source he is correct all of the time. Angle says no torn MCL, no torn ACL; do you want to be in this ring right now? EC3 says he really doesn’t. Angle knows EC3 is looking to make a name for himself and attacks. Angle is limping after sending EC3 to the floor. Angle then says that MVP gave him a hall of fame gift, a match with anyone he wanted at Lockdown. He chooses EC3.

Tiger Uno is coming.

Samuel Shaw claims Christy Hemme was in trouble last week and he helped her. He would do anything to help her and will prove that.

Samuel Shaw makes his way to the ring, and Christy Hemme doesn’t look thrilled to see him. Shaw quotes Emerson and says to be great is to be misunderstood. He says Hemme misunderstood him. He asks her to come into the ring, and she refuses. He promises to respect her space and to clear all of this up. She gets into the ring, and Shaw says he enjoyed their time together, and he thinks deep down inside her, she enjoyed it as well. He has respected her space, but there are certain men that will not respect her wish, He sees how they look at her, and how they lust for her, and he is simply here to protect her. Those men want one thing from her, but he wants more. He wants everything…

Mr. Anderson is now out, obviously pissed about Shaw’s attack from last week. Shaw says that Anderson is one of those guys that only wants one thing, and she is lucky he was there for her. Anderson says to shut up and calls him a creepy bastard. He then says that his relationship with Hemme is not real, but what is real is a real ass whoopin! Shaw says he is not creepy, he has been a gentleman with Hemme. But even if he were to do something to Hemme, he says she would be receptive. Because women like Hemme, are always available. Hemme slaps Shaw, and he then uses her as a shield when Anderson hits the ring. Shaw tosses Hemme into Anderson, and then Shaw locks in his standing choke on Anderson. Anderson fights, but Shaw drags him to the mat and Anderson is out. The crowd chants creepy bastard at Shaw.

Three weeks ago, Eric Young unmasked Abyss. Abyss then said he was going to find someone who understands him, and that he would fix things. EY says he hasn’t heard from Abyss, but says he needs help. All he knows is that we better hope the guy he was in the ring with doesn’t come back.
