TNA iMPACT! Opener:
We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Mike ‘TNA’ Tenay and Don ‘you have got to be kidding me’ West.
Before our opening match, we see footage from Slammiversary when Lance attacked the Voodoo Kin Mafia and joined forces with Damaja, Basham, and Christy Hemme.
Match Number One: Abyss versus Lance Hoyt (with Christy Hemme)
Hoyt attacks Abyss from behind and punches him followed by a kick but Abyss responds with a boot of his own and then he clotheslines Hoyt over the top rope to the floor. Abyss sends Hoyt into the guardrail and then he punches Hoyt. Abyss rolls Hoyt back into the ring and then Abyss grabs a chair and brings it into the ring. Hoyt is able to stop Abyss when Abyss takes too long to get back into the ring. Hoyt with a punch but Abyss with an Irish whip and charge into the corner. Abyss with a running butt splash and then Abyss goes to the second turnbuckle for a Vader Splash but Hoyt moves out of the way.

Abyss with two clotheslines and then he sets up for the choke slam and he hits it but he can only get a two count. Abyss goes for the steel chair but Christy grabs it as well. The referee goes outside to admonish Christy and that allows Hoyt to hit a big boot and then he puts the chair in Abyss’s face as he goes up top for a VanHoytinator, but Abyss gets up and Hoyt lands short and gets a chair thrown in his face for his troubles. Abyss covers Hoyt but he can only get a two count. Abyss picks up Hoyt but Hoyt with a series of forearms to Abyss. Hoyt sets for a big boot but he runs into a Black Hole Slam for the three count.
Winner: Abyss
After the match, Abyss goes under the ring for the bag of broken glass but Basham comes out to pull Hoyt out of the ring. Abyss pours the contents of the bag onto the mat while Christy Hemme remains in the ring.
From out of nowhere, the Voodoo Kin Mafia attack Basham and Hoyt by the announce table and they battle to the back. Abyss backs Christy into the corner but A.J. Styles and Tomko attack Abyss from behind as Christy leaves the ring.
The lights go out and Sting’s music plays. Sting is in the ring and he attacks Tomko and Styles with the bat and they leave the ring. Sting gives Abyss the bat and then he grabs a mic and tells Styles and Tomko that they will meet in three days and something really bad is going to happen but he is not going to tell Styles and Tomko about it but Abyss is going to tell them. Sting gives Abyss the mic and Abyss hesitates before tells A.J. and Tomko “Tomko . . . Styles . . . three days . . . click . . . doomsday!”
Don and Mike are at the announce table and they run through the card for Victory Road:
Ten Man X Division Gauntlet to determine the number one contender for the X Division Title

We go to a video package involving the Match of Champions participants. Brother Ray says that him and his brother have never needed anyone for the past fifteen years but tonight they have to tag with two other men. We hear Kurt Angle introduce himself as the TNA Heavyweight Champion and IWGP Champion. Brother Ray says that they do not have any problem with Samoa Joe. Joe says that he is not such a bad guy. You do right by him, he will do right by you. If you screw him and then he breaks you. Brother Ray says that he has not trusted Angle since he entered TNA. Joe says that he thought he was the only person who hated Kurt Angle but he is glad to know that there are others. Angle says that he does not understand why people hate him all the time. Brother Ray says that Angle has been bitching and moaning and hiding behind his gold medal his whole life. Angle says that he has been speaking the truth that he is the greatest wrestler alive and that everyone else sucks. Brother Ray talks about what he would do to Angle’s gold medal. Kurt Angle says that Team 3D and Samoa Joe cannot even hold his jock, let alone be his tag team partner. We go to commercial.
We are back and we go to Jeremy Borash with Christian, Tomko, and A.J. Styles. While Tomko and Styles are arguing over something, Christian tells Borash that he knows what is going on. Christian wants to know why he was not told about Sting and Abyss being together. He demands to be told about these things because he is the champ. A.J. has a question for Christian about their match tonight against the participants in the Match of Champions. A.J. points out that he has been a champion, but Tomko has not been a champion and then he says that he has held more championships than Christian but he pauses. A.J. wants to know who their fourth man is and Christian asks A.J. how long they have been hanging out together. Christian says that when things look like he is about to fold, he pulls a royal flush out of his pocket. Christian introduces their partner, Robert Roode to A.J. and Tomko.
Roode says that it is an honor and privilege to be a part of Christian’s team. Roode says that he is sick of the politics and Cornette screwing with him week after week. Tonight it is his chance. Christian leaves with Roode and Traci and then A.J. seems a bit disappointed at Christian because Christian always calls him kid. A.J. tries to catch up to Christian and then Tomko tells Borash it is always the same old thing.
Match Number Two: Havoc versus Martyr versus Kaz for a spot in the Ultimate X Match at Victory Road Kaz goes after Martyr as Martyr enters the ring but Havoc with a Lou Thesz Press and then he punches Kaz. Martyr joins in and kicks Kaz. Martyr with a hip toss to Kaz followed by a running knee to Kaz’s head from Havoc. Martyr finishes things off in the sequence with a neckbreaker and Kaz goes outside the ring.

We go to a video package for Ultimate X with comments from Senshi who calls it the ultimate test. Jerry Lynn calls it ‘suicidal’. Senshi says that it is pure preparation to be able to compete. Petey Williams says that you cannot be afraid of heights. Chris Sabin says that you cannot be ‘all there’ to be a part of the match. Jerry Lynn says that you cannot hesitate in the match. We go to commercial.
We are back with Don West sitting down with James Storm to discuss Rhino’s interview with Mike Tenay. Don talks about how Rhino poured his heart out and Storm laughs at Rhino’s comments. Don reminds Storm that Rhino said that his father died from alcoholism when he was fifteen; and Storm shoots back with the fact that his father died when he was twelve. Storm says that it was a joke when he poured the beer down his throat. We see Rhino’s comments from last week about ‘that one drink’. Don tells Storm that you cannot drink with an alcoholic because it is a disease. Don tries to put Rhino’s situation in perspective but Storm tells Don that maybe Rhino should go to AAA. Don shows his frustration at trying to get the message to Storm. Storm says that when he wins at Victory Road, the drinks will be on Rhino.
We go to a video package for Chris Harris. Chris talks about getting noticed was the first step and then after the first few weeks, the idea of America’s Most Wanted was brought up. They did not want to be part of a tag team, but you take whatever opportunity you can get. He says that he wanted to be a singles wrestler. He says that one of his best memories was as a singles wrestler because it gave him back the confidence that he had and that he could stand with those guys. Harris says that he should be one of the elite in TNA because he has the heart. He says that he has not quit and does not intend to quit or fail. His match at Victory Road will be a make or break match. He talks about his matches with James Storm. He talks about how he was in the main event at Slammiversary. He might not have won the title, but he got noticed. Regardless of the result on Sunday, everyone will know that he has arrived. We go to commercial.
We are back with James Mitchell and he says that his son is approaching and with each passing hour, he grows stronger, more vicious, and more bloodthirsty. He has unfinished business and debts to be paid. Doom, suffering, and despair. The apocalypse is upon you and his son is very close. He raises his glass to the creation of new gods and monsters. He says that everyone will succumb to a new era of darkness. We are told that Judas Mesias is coming.
We go to the latest Paparazzi Productions video and it is a debate between ‘old school’ and ‘new school’ with Kevin Nash as moderator. Representing ‘old school’ is Jerry Lynn and Bob Backlund; while Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley represent ‘new school’. Backlund proposes a toast. Jerry says that Alex and Chris should be sitting on the other side of the rail buying a ticket. Alex comments on Jerry Lynn’s resemblance to the lead singer of Nickelback and then he comments on Bob Backlund’s appearance. Jerry wants to know if they think this is a joke. He points out that he saw something in Sabin and took Chris under his wing, but he did not teach Sabin everything he knew. Jerry points out that you have over one hundred years of experience. Backlund goes crazy and then Lynn and Backlund put Sabin and Shelley in the crossface chicken wing.
