411’s IMPACT WRESTLING REPORT 5.08.14

Match times are not exact.

Bully Ray is driving to Nashville, and happens to have a cameraman with him. He’s on the hunt for Dixie Carter. He can’t do anything to her in the Impact Zone, but at the office, it is fair game.

We get a video package from last week.

Eric Young makes his way to the ring. Young says it’s been an amazing run so far, but there is a hiccup in his title run. He made a vow to defend the title each week on Impact. And while not in the best physical or mental condition, he made the promise. No disrespect to MVP, if MVP doesn’t book a title match, he will book one him self. He is issuing an open challenge, and knows there is a line of guys wanting a title shot, so he is ready, come and get your title shot.

Bobby Roode makes his way out to the ring. Roode says that they are chanting Young’s name, because he is the champion. And as world champion, he has the right to choose what kind of champion he will be. He says Young wants to be a fighting champion, and since he issued an open challenge, he wants a rematch tonight. For 10-years, Roode has over come all of the odds in TNA, he has been Mr. Consistency and the fans know it and so does Young. Tonight the title will be defended against the “It Factor”. Young says Roode was the top contender last week, and while he has taken some head shots, he know she beat Roode last week. Roode calls him a smart ass and knows Young beat him last week, but Roode was close, THIS close. He also had to beat Gunner before his title shot. So if Young wants to be a real fighting champion, be a man and defend against Roode again. Roode says they have history, way before TNA was born, 17 LONG years ago they started in wrestling. They grew up together in wrestling, driving all over, trying to make a name for themselves, and they did it. They did it together. They signed with TNA together as friends, they became tag team champions as Team Canada. They are two of the few originals left, they have history. And the fact is, they were fiends, but they were better enemies. They beat the hell out of each other, they went to war, but tonight, he wants to do it one more time. For the only reason, for the world title. Roode says if Young beats him again, he stands here and gives his word, he will never ask for a shot again. Young says Roode is right, they have good and bad history, and there is one thing Roode is, and that is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Tonight, one more match, for the title. They shake hands.

Highlights of the Beautiful People taking over the Knockouts Division.

MVP meets with Eric Young backstage and praises Young’s efforts as champion. MVP respects him and calls it refreshing. However, he has something special prepared for Young. But Young cannot book his own matches, and his match with Roode is off. They need to have rules says MVP, and adds Young has to set the example. MVP says he has nothing to prove. MVP says the run is amazing, so enjoy things, and take tonight off and enjoy his title. He promises his opponent for Slammiversary will be special and someone he never faced before. MVP says he will deal with Roode.

MVP is out to discuss the main event of Slammiversary. He says he wasn’t sure what he’d be in for; the fans are demanding and passionate. But his colleagues, they are also passionate and demanding. He hopes he did not disappoint the fans by pulling Young’s title defense. Wrestlers wrestle, and he needs to make sure they follow the rules. There has to be order, without it, there is chaos. He will make it up to us. He has a blockbuster announcement regarding Young’s Slammiversary opponent.

Bobby Roode makes his way out, and is not pleased. Roode wants to know if this is a joke, and then says he and Young had a handshake agreement. He is getting his shot. MVP says he had his chance last week, when he lost to Young. MVP says title chances are rare, and having said that, Roode has to earn it because there will be no handouts. Roode asks where MVP was when Roode was a tag team champion, when he was the longest running world champing in TNA history. Where has MVP been? MVP says the conversation is over, and Roode stops him. MVP says if he touches him again, they will get to the “participation” part. They brawl now, ands refs and agents are out to stop that.

Earlier today at TNA offices, Ray sneaks into the building. The office people are wearing “Bully Fears Dixie” shirts. He scares the secretary and then looks for Dixie. Spud tries to stop him, and Ray says he will go through him. Ray counts to three, and Ray picks up Spud and carries him around as he looks for Dixie. Ray finds her office, goes in and she is not there. Spud begs him to take off his shoes, because this is a sacred place.
