TNA Impact Begins…NOW!
-We begin with a recap of last week's show.
-Tenay and West welcome us to Impact. They discuss the Quarter Finals of the Fight for Your Right tournament.
-Earlier today Sabin mocks the old timers. He says Lynn doubted him, and says Lynn is way beyond his peak. He proved that he is the best by winning the title. AJ Styles breaks it up and says Lynn did a lot for the title and Sabin should respect that. They brawl.
-After that Sabin breaks up his interview and Sabin says he will put the title on the line in their tournament match tonight. Styles says Sabin has no respect and tonight, he will get his. So Sabin is a heel now.
Sabin slaps AJ and we're off. Arm bar and reversals to begin. Headlock by Sabin, off the ropes, counters and a tilt a whirl back breaker by AJ…SHADES OF JERRY LYNN. Surfboard by AJ, Sabin to his feet and reverses the hold. Back slide for 2 by Sabin. Dropkick and a shining wizard variant by Sabin gets 2. Snap mare and chinlock by Sabin. AJ fights to his feet, but Sabin slams him down and covers for 2. Leg drop by Sabin gets 2. Back to the chinlock by Sabin, AJ to his feet again and escapes. Clothesline by AJ and then a spinkick. AJ to the apron, springboard Superman forearm. Clash try, counter and an Enziguri by Sabin. Tornado DDT by Sabin gets 2. Rights by Sabin, off the ropes and AJ gets the PELE kick.

-Back from commercial as West and Tenay hype the upcoming interview with Sting.
Sting Interview: He says JJ knew something was different, he knew he was changed and he is. He thought the same about JJ. He found out recently that JJ has some personal problems. He knows JJ is in despair. That cancer is actually the NWA Title. The belt has always meant greed and power. Now, the belt represents honor, respect, dignity and truth. The truth is I will give credit where it is due, to God, without him I am nothing.
-JB is with Killings and Hoyt. Killings says he is a 2-time NWA champion, and he must take the chance to win a third. They may be friends, but it is all business. Hoyt agrees, but he has never been the NWA Champion and he will do what he has to do. When they are done, they can be cool. They shake. Eric Young is here. He wonders where Jeff is. He says to tell him if he sees Jeff.
-Back from commercial with a video package for Joe vs. Angle.
FIGHT FOR YOU RIGHT QUARTER FINAL MATCH: Ron Killings vs. Lance Hoyt
They shake and we are off. Lock up and to the corner they go and a clean break. Lock up again, roll up by Ron for 1. Small package for 1. Off the ropes and a shoulder block by Hoyt. Off the ropes, counters and a big boot by Hoyt gets 2. Rights by Hoyt, off the ropes and a side slam by Hoyt gets 2. Rights by Hoyt, Irish whip and a float over, back flip and spilt with the leg lariat by Ron. Boot, off the ropes and misses the ax kick, big boot misses and the spinning forearm by Ron. Ax kick connects this time and that is all.
Winner: Ron Killings @ 2:09 via pin
-The James Gang hits the ring. They talk to Ron and they apologize for the interruption. 10-years ago they were scouted to do the dirty work for some guys we all know. The fans knew they were the real deal, and then they releases. He was with the 3Lk then, and they were over and got held back. He is fed up with TNA dropping the ball. If they can't find him work, he knows where to find it. 6-months the James Gang has been back together and the ball was dropped again. Take the TNA hat, wipe your ass with it because you have seen the last of the James Gang, they quit. Kip asks when he became politically correct. He won't candy coat it, TNA, Spike…and their mic is cut. He goes to the announce table and says they will listen. His mic is cut again and the video is gone now. So they quit…SHOOT.
-Back from commercial as Roode makes his way to the ring.
FIGHT FOR YOU RIGHT QUARTER FINAL MATCH: Christopher Daniels vs. Robert Roode w/Miss Brooks
Brooks distracts Daniels and Roode attacks. Rights to Daniels, and then boots take Daniels down. Daniels back with rights, off the ropes and a boot by Daniels, but Roode then levels him. Roode rakes the eyes and then applies the neckvice. Daniels fights to his feet, elbows out and then gets a crucifix into the flatliner on Roode. Forearms by Daniels. Off the ropes and a backdrop to Roode. Enziguri to Roode and he rolls to the floor. Daniels follows and gets the split legged moonsault! Back in the ring, Daniels up top…Brooks slows him down and he gets a cross body for 2 as Brooks distracted the ref. Irish whip, Daniels misses a knee and Roode with the full nelson bomb for 2. Powerbomb try by Roode, Daniels escapes and gets the DVD! Both men are down, Uranage by Daniels. BERST MOONSAULT EVER! Ref is distracted by Brooks and Daniels is pissed. Boot by Daniels, Angels Wings try, Brooks grabs Daniels, Payoff by Roode and that is all.
Winner: Robert Roode @ 4:28 via pin
-Brooks and Roode celebrate and AJ is out to clear the ring. He and Daniels argue a bit and Daniels questions him about the X-Title. AJ tries to calm him down, and they leave the ring; but Daniels is still frustrated.
FOUR CORNER POLE MATCH: Christian Cage vs. Rhino What ever they walk away with from this match they can bring to the cage match on the 16th. There are chairs, a straightjacket, bolt cutters and even a key so they can escape the barbed wire cage.
Rhino attacks Cage as he makes his entrance. They brawl around the set for a bit and then to the ring, and Rhino strips Cage of his ring gear. Clothesline by Rhino with Cage's jacket. Irish whip and a shoulder block by Rhino. He climbs for the chairs, but Cage pulls him down. They brawl, off the ropes and a backdrop to Cage. Rhino work shim over but Cage nails him and climbs… Rhino up with him and they brawl up top. Cage is tossed off to the floor and Rhino gets a key, which will be available the 16th. Fuck Russo. We head to commercial @ 3:25.
Back from commercial @ 6:40 as Rhino also got the straight jacket down. Rhino sets for the gore…there is a table set up…dropkick by Cage. Rights by Cage, off the ropes and Rhino misses Cage, who then climbs and gets the bolt cutters down. He tries to use them on Rhino, but Cage takes him out. Bentley in his wacky gear is here to beat down Rhino. Cage gets chairs and apparently the match is over.
GORE on Cage. Rhino to the floor and gets the straightjacket and tries to put it on Cage and starts to strap him in. He has him locked in and grabs a chair. Kazarian is out with wacky hair and Rhino fights him off. Bentley is back in and they double team Rhino. Cage runs in the jacket and watches as they beat down Rhino. Rhino fights back though and GORES Bentley. Running gore through the chair on Kazarian. Rhino is taking lessons from HHH.
Apparently this is one of those wacky matches with no winner or loser. Fuck Russo. 8:25.
-We go to training video for Angle vs. Joe. Angle does some weight training while Joe does some boxing/MMA stuff. This is the shit I am talking about, making it SEEM like a legit fight, like they are actually FIGHTING for respect and to see who is the best.
-We get a video recap of the evening to close the show.
