West: GORE! GORE! GORE!
Raven gets up and hugs Rhino as the fans viciously chant TNA! TNA! TNA! Shane rolls out of the ring trying to escape, but Rhino and Raven are hot on his tracks. Monty goes under the ring with Abyss laid out on the floor and pulls out a bag and the crowd goes nuts. He throws the bag in the ring. Abyss low blows Brown and shoves him under the bottom rope. Abyss grabs another bag from under the ring and the crowd goes nuts again! He throws the bag in the ring and stomps Monty Brown down. Abyss grabs both bags and raises them. He lets the fans decide by the crowd cheering. He can’t decide which is loudest so he pours both bags out exposing thousands of thumb tacks and broken glass. Abyss picks up Monty Brown and whips him across the ring for a Black Hole Slam, but this time Brown counters in mid air with a spinning DDT head first into the glass and tacks. Brown is ready to finish it and picks up Abyss, covered in Blood, he knees Abyss in the ribs then sets the big man up and drills him down onto the tacks and glass back first this time with a huge powerbomb. He covers Abyss 1...2…3!
WINNER: Monty Brown
West: Oh man, someone needs to come out here and help Abyss, look at the carnage, he got slammed onto that glass and tacks, not once, but twice, this is horrible!
Tenay: Well Don, Monty got wise this time and actually countered the Black Hole Slam in time, what a Monster’s Ball!
STILL TO COME on Bound for Glory 2007
