TNA iMPACT! Results - 12/28/06
Orlando, Florida
TNA iMPACT! Opener:
Jeremy Borash is outside Jim Cornette’s office and he tells us that Kurt Angle entered the office moments ago and we go into the office to investigate. Kurt is yelling at Cornette telling him that he deserves a rematch since he made Joe tap out and Joe made him tap out. Cornette says that if what happened last week in the tag match was not enough to convince Samoa Joe to give him a rematch, then he cannot do anything about it. Cornette mentions that Joe wants the world title, and he cannot decide whether Christian Cage or Sting should be the man to challenge Abyss at Final Resolution. Angle says that he does not care about any of them because he wants Samoa Joe in the ring one-on-one. Cornette tells Angle that this is a special night because the year end awards are going to be announced. Cornette tells Angle to be the man he knows Angle can be and not disrupt the program. Angle says that he will not disrupt the show, but he will get his rematch, one way or the other. Angle leaves the office. Mike Tenay and Don West talk about the match tonight featuring Abyss, Sting, and Christian Cage with the stipulation of night stick on a pole. Tenay says that this match will help Jim Cornette decide who will face Abyss at Final Resolution.

Backstage:
Jeremy Borash is in the back with Abyss and James Mitchell and Jeremy mentions the Night Stick on a Pole match involving Abyss, Christian Cage, and Sting. Jeremy asks James Mitchell about whose side Abyss is on because of the solidarity between the two men last week. Mitchell says that he is wondering the same thing and he cannot get an answer. Mitchell wants to get an answer from Abyss as well. Is it the man who stole the NWA World Title from him or the man who brought him the championship? Mitchell tells Abyss that he made him look stupid when he gave Sting his baseball bat against his wishes. He can give Sting another present. He can give Sting the night stick. He can give it to Sting against the side of his head, in his ribs, and break his knee cap with it. If Abyss does not do that, he will reveal Abyss’s secret. Mitchell threatens to reveal the secret.

If she is talking about Abyss’s secret, we will know when he wants us to know. He mentions that earlier tonight, Jim Mitchell verified what Christian has been telling everyone. That is that Sting and Abyss have been conspiring against him to keep him from becoming the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Abyss knows that he is not the face of TNA and Sting’s best days are behind him. Christian says that he shines brighter than them all.

Jim Cornette will have no choice but to give him his one-on-one match with Abyss at Final Resolution. We go to commercial.
