Hogan FAKING retirement segment sounds fun, but i won't be as good as Scotty Steiners, poor Joe. Brian Kendrick and Jesse Sorenson beating A Double and Kash

 

[AZUCAR!]

Steiner's was the best.

 

[PHX]

This Sting/Hogan stuff would be more exciting if it didn't involve two guys who need to retire. Will give TNA credit on Roode/Angle though I like what they are doing with that.

 

[PHX]

Sting/Hulk Hogan in-ring promo
They talked for a long time about the real Hulk Hogan being back. Hogan leaves and then Sting brings out Dixie Carter. Dixie promises to never make the same mistakes again. She appoints Sting as the new TNA authority figure while she takes care of her executive duties at TNA headquarters. Kurt Angle comes out and tells them how they probably expected Bobby Roode to be standing there with them instead of him but it’s too bad because he’s still the world champion. Bobby Roode comes out and tells Angle that he screwed him at Bound for Glory but he isn’t sure if there’s anything he could do about it. Sting gets on the mic and says since Dixie just gave him the authority and since he saw what happened at Bound for Glory that there should be a rematch tonight. Angle rebuffs Sting’s orders and reveals that when the Bound for Glory contract was written up there was a stipulation added in by Bischoff and Hogan that he would only have to defend the title against Roode one time only because they viewed him as a big time threat. James Storm then comes out and tells Angle that since he won’t be able to give Roode a title shot, why not him? Sting thinks it’s a good idea and makes the match much to Angle’s displeasure. The whole segment lasted over 30 minutes. Angle was noticeably favoring his injured hamstring while getting out of the ring. You could see him wincing.

Knockouts Tag Team Title Match
Tara & Miss Tessmacher vs. Winter & Angelina Love
Tara/Tessmacher defeats Winter/Angelina Love via pinfall.

Jeff Jarrett with Karen Jarrett/Jeff Hardy in-ring promo
Jeff Jarrett vows to finish what was started at Bound for Glory and tells Hardy what happened at Victory Road wasn’t the first time Hardy messed up and that he’s screwed up many times beforehand. Things end up getting physical and a security/referee/agents break apart happens. Al Snow and D-Lo Brown end up taking sides and get into a little bit of a scuffle which allows Jeff Jarrett to kick Jeff Hardy below the waist while everybody was distracted. Jeff Jarrett then leaves with Karen.

Abyss vs. Gunner
Abyss defeats Gunner via countout. Gunner got on the mic beforehand and called out Abyss. Gunner pretty much ran away like a coward.

Velvet Sky in-ring promo
Karen Jarrett interrupts and brings Traci Brooks with her. She’s still VP of the Knockouts Division and threatens to fire them both but where would the fun be in that. She wants to dish out physical trauma to Sky and leave her with scars. She has security escort Traci away and then brings out Madison Rayne for what appeared to be a match but was only a diversion for a Gail Kim return. Kim pearl harbored Sky and aligned herself with Karen Jarrett and Madison Rayne.

Eric Bischoff/Bully Ray/Gunner/Scott Steiner in-ring promo
Bischoff says he’ll deal with his son on his own time but he wants to talk to Hogan face-to-face. Hogan comes out and they talk some more about what happened at Bound for Glory and how he turned his back on Immortal. Bischoff slaps Hogan but Hogan points at him and does his ‘you’ taunt. The other Immortal members climb on the apron and look as if they’re going to ambush Hogan but Sting comes from the crowd with two black baseball bats in hand and they send them scurrying away. Bischoff backs up the entrance ramp and bumps into his son who is now being called Garrett Bischoff. Garrett is not in referee clothes but in a dress shirt. Garrett rips off his shirt and lays out Eric Bischoff with a punch to the face.

Backstage promo
Roode is walking with Storm to the ring and Storm talks about how he wishes he had more time to prepare. Roode tells Storm not to worry about it since he’s been with the company since day 1 and is more than prepared for the match. Roode tells Storm to go become a world champion.

Main Event
TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match
James Storm vs. Kurt Angle
James Storm defeats Kurt Angle to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion via pinfall. Match lasted about 1 minute. It consisted of Angle punching and stomping Storm in the corner before playing to the camera and turning around into a superkick.

Kinda expected her to comeback as face but heel works and hopefully shows some personality.

Added full spoilers to PHX's post. Will watch just to see the whole fallout, but looks pretty meh.

 

[rhetts jetski]

Looks like a decent enough show.

Garrett Bischoff turning on his Dad? May as well have just called him David Flair.

 

[Crippler]

okay so the first segment lasted over 30 minutes and the main event lasted about 1 minute

Wednesday Tapings For 10/27 show

IMPACT
-IMPACT opened with James Storm (complete with new music) coming to the ring. He talks about his dad and how he wished he was there to see his title win. Fortune come and and they put each other over. Storm says Bobby Roode was screwed and is about to give him a title shot when Samoa Joe interrupts. Joe whines about Storm giving all of his friends title shots instead of real competition. Sting comes out and makes a #1 Contender Match between Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe tonight.

-Rob Van Dam defeated Christopher Daniels by DQ when Daniels used a screwdriver. Daniels was going to continue using the weapon on RVD but AJ Styles came out for the save.

-Eric Bischoff is in the ring and calls out Garrett. Bischoff talks about their history and all he has done for Garrett. He wants an apology from Garrett later tonight.

In a pretape, Ric Flair bullies Garrett telling him he had better go out there later tonight and apologize or else!

-In another promo, Karen Jarrett, Madison Rayne and Gail Kim are in the ring. Gail pretty much says that she doesn't have to explain her actions to the fans because she does what she wants to. At Turning Point it will be Velvet Sky vs Gail Kim for the Knockouts Title.

-Gail Kim defeated Tara

-Eric Young defeated Robbie E to retain the Television Championship. After the match Robbie and Terry beat down EY. Young announced that at the Macon Tapings, he is bringing in Ronnie from Jersey Shore.

-We were going to get another brawl between Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy in the middle of the ring like the past two shows but before it happens, Hardy is ambushed from behind by Bully Ray. This is then turned into a match.

-Jeff Hardy defeated Bully Ray with the Swanton Bomb. After the match, Jarrett and Ray beat on Hardy and are about to put him through a table when Mr. Anderson makes the save.

-Eric Bischoff comes out waiting for his apology. Garrett Bischoff comes out followed by Ric Flair. Flair demands that Garrett apologize to Eric but Garrett won't. Flair freaks out on Garrett before Garrett gets fired up and hits Flair. Both Flair and Eric Bischoff then lay a whipping on Garrett for a few minutes.

-Bobby Roode (also with new theme music) defeated Samoa Joe in a #1 Contender's Match to earn a World Title shot against James Storm in Macon.

 

[PHX]

Smh at making the show mostly about a damn ref who cares. Besides the show looks solid.

 

[Dale]

How the FUCK does Joe get a #1 contenders match when he can't even win a damn match

 

[rhetts jetski]

Outside of the Bischoff stuff, looks like another good show.

 

[Crippler]

on PWINSIDER it says.

Robert Roode just defeated James Storm to win the TNA title in Macon, GA at the Impact Wrestling taping. Roode turned heel, nailing Storm with a beer bottle to win the belt. Yep.

Gail Kim & Madison Rayne won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team belts as well, defeating Tara and Brooke Tessmacher.

 

[PHX]

Don't even really know what to say about that. They do a whole Roode got screwed thing and pretty much build him up to get him even more over a face and then they just turn him heel? smh yeah that sure does make a lot of sense. They just loving heel turning people.

 

[rhetts jetski]

I'm not against it, it's not the first time an angle has been rushed.

I'm looking forward to heel Roode and face Storm, with both having now been established as main eventers.

 

[Troy]

This is terrible booking.

First of all if you are going to give Roode the title now then they simply should have given him the title at BFG when he had all the momentum.

Second why they hell would you give away a World title change for free on Impact! That should be saved for PPVs so you can get fans to pay to see big moments like this.

Third why have Roode turn when he had the whole crowd behind him during his recent push before BFG.

Finally this is too rushed. TNA should have given Roode the title at BFG and then built up a Storm vs. Roode feud for a few months before the big payoff match on PPV.
