TNA iMPACT! Results - 8/23/07
Orlando, Florida
Report By: Richard Trionfo of PWInsider.com
We start off with a look back at last week when Pacman Jones told everyone why he is in TNA and Ron Killings’s suggestion that Team Pacman would be a good team to challenge for the TNA Tag Team Titles. We then move on to the Angle Awards that was interrupted by Jim Cornette announcing Kurt Angle’s three matches at No Surrender. We go to highlights from the Abyss/Christian Cage First Blood Match and Jim Cornette’s announcement of the handicap match for this week and the stipulation if Angle should lose the match.
We are outside the Impact Zone and Jeremy Borash sees Kurt Angle arriving. Jeremy asks Kurt about the stipulation if he loses, but Kurt tells Jeremy to get out of his way. Jeremy wonders why Kurt would put his wife in this predicament and Kurt tells him to get out of his way one more time. Jeremy asks Kurt one more time about his wife but Kurt walks away. Kurt tells Karen to get out of the car but she does not want to get out of the car. She tells Kurt to get her out of this situation. She says that she cannot do this because she is not a wrestler. Kurt says that he will take care of it, but he asks her to carry his title belts. Karen tells him to carry his own belts. Kurt jokes that he needs a divorce.
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.
Don and Mike run through what we are going to see on this week’s episode of Impact.
We see footage from Hard Justice when Robert Roode defeated Eric Young in the Humiliation Match but instead of being ‘tarred and feathered’ for his loss, Gail Kim came out to make the save for Eric Young and we saw Traci Brooks get ‘tarred and feathered’.

Kazarian gets into the ring and he pushes Roode away from Brooks. Roode pie faces Kazarian but Kazarian punches Roode. Kazarian with a bicycle kick and Roode goes to the floor. Traci looks conflicted while Frankie gets on the mic. Frankie says that there are two things wrong with Robert Roode. First, Roode is a prick; and second, he has no idea how to treat a real lady. Kazarian tells Roode to watch and learn. Kazarian kisses Traci on the cheek and leaves the ring.
Don and Mike welcome us to the 100th episode of Impact on SpikeTV as they talk about the rest of the show. Mike talks about Christian Cage’s loss to Abyss last week in the First Blood Match and then he says that TNA cameras went to Christian’s house to get some comments.
We go to Christian’s house where Christian is wearing a hospital gown and is sitting in a wheelchair. Christian is joined by Tomko and A.J. Styles and he thanks them for spending some time with him at his home. Christian takes a drink while A.J. wipes his face. Christian says that he does not think he will make this week’s show. He says that there are going to be a lot of upset people in the Impact Zone. But he is afraid that his livelihood might be taken away from him. A.J. shows a lot of concern over Christian’s comments. Christian wonders how he will tell his wife and children. A.J. wonders where Christian’s wife is and Christian says that she is shoveling the driveway. A.J. points out that Christian lives in Florida and Christian stops A.J. from saying anything else. He tells Tomko and A.J. to make him proud. He wants Tomko and A.J. to take care of Samoa Joe. A.J. says that revenge is coming and he storms out of Christian’s house while Tomko responds to Christian’s comment that he has twins on the way. Tomko then says that he will take care of things again. We go to commercial.
We are back with James Storm in his car and he talks about how he is known for being the man who made Rhino run because he beat him like a dog. Storm says that he has not seen Rhino in a while but he knows that Rhino is back to drinking after he said that he did not drink. Storm says that the one thing he hates more than an alcoholic is a liar. Storm is going to have the ‘Cowboy Pub Crawl’. He says that he is going to find Rhino drunk in one of these bars and when he finds him, he will kick Rhino’s ass. Storm asks people if he has seen Rhino.

Storm is escorted out of the bar. We are told that it is ‘to be continued’.
We go to Jim Cornette’s office where Matt Morgan is standing behind Cornette while Angle talks to Cornette with Leticia holding the mic for Angle. Angle says that there is a problem. Cornette tells Matt Morgan to wait outside and if there is a problem, he will call for him. Cornette tells Angle that he has one minute for him. Angle tells Cornette to look at Karen. He says that Karen is a delicate little flower who does not have one mean bone in her body. Now Cornette wants to put her in harms way against the Steiners. Angle asks Cornette if he is out of his freaking mind. Cornette tells Angle that her face is as phony as a get well card from an undertaker; and she did not look like a lady last week. Karen jumps up before Cornette can finish his sentence. Karen tries to climb across Cornette’s desk and yells at Cornette for claiming that she was not a lady. Kurt tells Karen to sit down and shut up. Angle talks about the handicap match tonight against the Steiners and he demands that he be given a tag team partner. Cornette says that Angle will get a partner, but not tonight because tonight has been promoted and advertised. Angle will get a tag team partner next week. There will be a lottery to determine his partner for one of his three title defenses. Cornette tells Kurt to take and prep his delicate ‘lady flower’. Karen gets up and goes after Cornette.
We go to the Black Reign video package and he tells Chris Harris that this time there will be ‘no surrender’ because Black Reign will downpour Harris’s blood drop by drop until he feels Harris’s last breath.
