TNA iMPACT! Results - 07/26/07
Orlando, Florida
Report By: Richard Trionfo of PWInsider.com
TNA iMPACT! Opener:
We go to footage from earlier tonight of Christian Cage entering the Impact Zone with A.J. Styles, Robert Roode, Tomko, and Traci Brooks. They are also accompanied by a number of men wearing ‘Cage Security’ shirts. Leticia interviews Cage and wants to know if he has been in hiding. Christian says that he was at Impact last week to do his job and perform at the highest level as he denies that he has been in hiding. He says that he wants to earn an honest buck and asks everyone if that is okay. Christian tells Tomko to pay attention and ‘stop playing with his toy belt’ because they have some real problems to deal with. Christian says that he walked into an unsafe work environment last week. That is why he got ‘Cage Security’. He says that they need to protect the top stars. This is the result of two guys, Sting and Abyss. He tells Robert Roode and A.J. Styles that tonight they are going to step up and take the spotlight to become the superstars that they can be. He tells them that not only are they going to beat Sting and Abyss in their matches; they are going to take them out. If they don’t, he will hold them both responsible. Roode and A.J. say that everything will be alright as Christian leaves. Tomko leaves as well. Roode tells A.J. that Robert Roode is going to hold up his end of the bargain and he wonders if A.J. will.

That side wants to come out. He says that he has had his split personality and it is coming out. He says that it is time. Mike says that he has never seen anyone have an emotional breakdown like he did with Dustin Rhodes.
Kurt Angle:
We go to footage from Kurt Angle’s visit to his psychiatrist. Angle says that it all started when he was growing up in Pittsburgh. He says that it was no secret that his mother loved him more than his other brothers and sisters. He says that when he was three years old, everyone knew that he was going to be special. He was beating up every six year old on the block. He says that he was not a bully. He was just better than everybody else. His siblings were jealous of him and then he calls them losers. He says that his sister got a job at an orphanage and calls her a big loser. He wonders how small her paycheck was. There comes a time in your life when you need to make a decision. Do you want to wear Armani suits or do you want to help orphans? Angle says that he chooses to wear Armani suits. He says let someone else watch those spoiled brats. We are told that it will be continued as we go to commercial.
Back on IMPACT!:
We are back and Kurt is still with his psychiatrist. He says that it got worse in high school because he excelled at everything, including football, baseball, basketball, and especially wrestling. The girls wanted him, not the skanks like the ones who come to watch him wrestle in the Impact Zone. They all wanted to get in his pants. The ’36-24-36’ girls. He says that he is an Olympic gold medalist and his wife knows that it is an honor and a privilege to be Mrs. Kurt Angle. He says that his kids know that too. If they don’t live up to his standards, they’re going right out the door. Maybe he will send them to the orphanage where his sister works.

The Aftermath:
After the match, Team 3D come to the ring. Brother Ray wants LAX to get out of the ring.

He says that he knows that the Steiners are in the building and they are not going to leave until they come out. We go to commercial.
Back on IMPACT!:
We are back and Brother Ray is now on the mic and he wants the Steiners to come out. The Steiners come to the ring. Scott tells Team 3D that they don’t call them out, but they call Team 3D out. Scott tells Brother Ray that he did not like the way that he was talking to the Puerto Ricans earlier because the Puerto Rican people and the Puerto Rican nation are his favorite people. On June 3rd in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he was in the hospital and they saved his life. Brother Ray interrupts and he tells Brother Devon that in the ring with him are Big Poppa Pump and his ‘half-retarded’ brother Rick. Scott tells Brother Ray to shut up and let his thyroid to continue to spiral out of control and maybe he will gain a few more fat cells. He says that he never missed a match in his life and he would never miss a match against Team 3D. At Slammiversary, when they were supposed to be wrestling, he was fighting for something more important. That was his life. Two weeks before Slammiversary, he was wrestling in Puerto Rico and got kicked in the throat. That tore his trachea and he was taken to the hospital and he was told by the doctor that he had five hours to life. Scott says that being told that you are going to die is a humbling experience. He says that it scared the hell out of him. Scott wants to publicly thank the Puerto Rican doctors, nurses, and the people who showed their support.
Brother Ray says that the reason why Scott did not show up was because he knew that Team 3D was better than the Steiners were any day of the week. Brother Ray wonders if Scott is serious about the surgery and he looks for the scar on his throat. Brother Ray says that he thinks Scott is lying and that he is scared. Rick helps Scott take off his vest and shirt. Scott says that it is obvious to him that Brother Ray’s thyroid has burst and cut off oxygen to his brain. Scott says that although he got kicked in the throat, they cut through his lat and through his rib. They deflated his lung and sewed up his trachea that way. He says that is why he missed Slammiversary. It took him another five days to get home because he could not fly. Brother Ray wants to know if Scott couldn’t fly and couldn’t wrestle because of that ‘little scratch’. Back in ECW, that was nothing more than a paper cut and he calls Scott a ‘wussy’. Scott says that the more he is talking to Brother Ray, the more he wants to knock his teeth down his throat. Scott says that Team 3D never beat the Steiners. He tells Brother Ray to name a time and a place. Scott says that Team 3D was nothing more than Bingo Hall Champions while they were World Tag Team Champions for a real company, WCW.
Scott is interrupted by the Voodoo Kin Mafia’s music. BG says that he wonders if their invitation got lost in the mail. BG says that he came out for a history lesson because everyone else’s history is bass ackwards. The best tag team in professional wrestling history just got in the ring. When they were on top, the wrestling business was on top of the world and that ain’t no coincidence. Scott tells Kip and BG that they might have been on top in the WWF but what were they on top of? Scott says that it was a heap of crap. When they were tag team champions, the wrestling was at a high but that was because fans were watching WCW because they were kicking the WWF’s ass for eighty-two weeks in a row. As far as Team 3D is concerned, Scott tells them that their fat a**es should not even be in the ring with them. Brother Ray throws down his shirt and tells Scott to stop calling him fat. Scott says that he does not have a doctor’s permission to wrestle but he does not need an invitation to kick their ass. The Steiners go after Kip and BG but Team 3D helps out the Voodoo Kin Mafia. Brother Ray punches Rick while Kip and BG work over Scott. Team 3D gives Rick a 3D. Devon gets the Puerto Rican flag that was left in the ring after the last match, and they choke Rick with it while Scott watches. The Latin American Xchange come to the ring and they help the Steiners. We go to commercial.
Kurt Angle:
We are back and we return to Kurt Angle in his psychiatrist’s office. Kurt talks about his time in TNA. He wonders what he did to anyone here. All he did was beat some people up and give them more exposure than they ever had. He put them on the map. When you take the TNA out of Kurt Angle, he wonders what you have and he says you have a great Kurt Angle. When you take Kurt Angle out of TNA, you have an independent show that draws fifty people at most. He says that he is not trying to take all of the credit, but maybe he is. When you think of Kurt Angle, you think of Gandhi, George Washington, and Martin Luther King. Kurt says that he has a dream and that is that the whole world will come to respect, love, and honor Kurt Angle for the hero that he is. The camera pans back and Kurt is sitting in his tanning bed wearing his suit and he has been talking to Kevin Nash, who wants to know if he can get fifteen minutes in the tanning bed. Angle tells Nash to clean up when he is done.
