Recap of Kurt snapping Joe's girlfriend's ankle last week.

In the back, Joe storms Cornette's office and demands Angle tonight. Jim clams him down and tells him to wait till Final Resolution as Kurt has a match tonight. Joe jumps on it, but Jim tells him not to even think about it and he wants him out of the building. Joe freaks out as Corny says this to save people from getting hurt, and Joe says he's not here to hurt people or even him, HE'S HERE TO HURT KURT AND HE WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED.

TONIGHT THE END OF YEAR AWARDS. KURT VS CAGE. OK RUSSO, I'LL BITE.

Match#1 Robert Roode w/Ms Brooks vs Rhino
Only 3 minutes because it's hour show, and Russo is booking. Still not a bad little back and forth as Bobby's growth continues each week, and Rhino is still a good warm body to help the kid out. Traci distracts Rhino on the apron, but he moves and Bobby nearly hits her, and Rhino schoolboys him to win.
*

Post match, Bobby yells at her and makes her go to the back.

On the other side of the Zone, AJ runs out and hits Rhino from behind. They have a fun fight and Rhino sets him up for the Gore, but Bobby comes down and helps AJ turn the tide and beat the shit out of him. AJ lays Rhino out with the Clash, and fist bumps Bobby. Fuck yeah.

In the back, EY asks JB for help as a woman wants to have sex with his friend and he doesn't know what to do, or has the skills. He needs the love doc's help. JB asks if his friend is a s a virgin, and Eric says "No, he's from Kanas" Ms Brooks walks on and flirts with EY and asks if he got what she asked for, and she says he's got till next week to get it or he's fired. EY says he's in a pickle now.

In the back, JB is with Samoa Joe. Joe screams for 4 weeks Kurt tried to get his attention he had to go after someone close to him because he knows he's not the best. Joe can't wait 10 days as it's an entirety, and he will leave after his job is done tonight.

VKM come out for our first horrible segment of the year. Only took 12 minutes, so kudos. BG rants about WWE ignoring them after weeks of challenges, which really speaks to how awful this all is. Kip yells at BG with a megaphone for some reason, and then they calm down and talk about the million dollar challenge they put out to DX. BG calls them by their real names and makes gay jokes, and says they're going to step the game up a notch. BG says Shawn is on a light schedule and he's got time to fight them in his home town, and they're calling him out and it will be high noon at the Alamo. "We won't be hard to find, we'll be the idiots in ponchos and sombreros" hahhahaahha kill me. BG says they'll have the footage next week.



We go to a sitdown with JB and Gail Kim. She says she thought all the problems were behind them, but she has no explanation for what Storm did 3 weeks ago. A very drunk James walks on and pulls up a chair and says she's talking behind his back, and she gets very upset and wants to talk to him. James says TNA don't have a women's division, and the the only ladies he sees is her and JB, and he better shut up before he gets a bottle to the side of the face. JAMES STANDS UP AND DRAGS JB'S CHAIR OFF CAMERA AND WALKS BACK ON. He gets right in her face and tells her that he bought her into TNA, and she has no where to go other than go back and flip rice paddies with her uncle. She's got 7 days to decide, and she gets really upset, AND HE GRABS HER BY THE FACE! Gail says she hasn't talked to Chris yet, and James says he's not coming back and his patience is wearing thin. Incredible stuff.

Match#2 Homicide vs Brother Runt (No DQ)
Runt is drunk and mad as he jumps our boy with a sick flurry of punches and dives, and it's good fun. Plunda gets broken out, and Ci has his head slammed into the post with a chair around his neck. Ci cuts him off and gets a ladder and beats the fuck out of him with some nasty as hell shots. Tenay says it will be LAX/3D for the titles at the PPV. Spike hits the Acid Drop and has it won, but Konnan distracts the ref in a No DQ match, and Hernadez gets in and KILLS Spike with a motherfucker of a Border Toss through a ladder to give Ci the win.
**1/4

Post match, they go for the kill, but 3D run down and save their little brother and chases them off.

We go to a pre-tape with Lynn, Daniels & Sabin talking about the issues as of late. Big part is the lack of respect they all feel and how they're the best wrestler in the world.

We go to the prison where Abyss is freaking out as Mitchell is screaming at him and keeps calling him an idiot. He shoves Abyss to the ground and says Cage and Tomko know one sentence of the story he knows. A story of love, blood and betrayal and unforgivable sins. He warns him to not make him come back here ever. He has to make a choice tonight as he can't escape his past. He's held the secret for 18 months and now he makes a fool out of him for Sting. ABYSS JUMPS BACK UP AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE FENCE AND SCREAMS LIKE A WILD ANIMAL AS THE CAMERA CUTS AWAY.

Christian and Tomko come down for the main event when Corny shows up on the screen. He says Tomko keeps getting involved, so he's barred from ringside at the PPV. Kurt now comes down, but Joe jumps him and kicks the shit out of him at ringside with those amazing punches right to the face. Angle fights back and we get a killer brawl for the first time this year as they're perfect belting the crap out of each other with whatever they can use. Cage and Tomko stand by as they brawl into the crowd and blackshirts try to break it up. Jim now comes out and tells the security to protect the fans and let em fight. FUCK YEAH.

They brawl out to the back and into the parking lot, and we see a bunch of fans following the brawl in a sick moment. They slam each other into walls and try to rip eyes out whenever they can, and it's the most out of control and coolest thing TNA has done in a few weeks. Kurt locks in the Angle Lock because he's a proper freak, so Joe kicks him off into a steel door and smashes the back of his bad brain into with a gross thud on each shot. They fight all around the building and it gets more wild as they slowly gas themselves out and try to kill the other as quick as they can. Joe drops Kurt through a table with a powerslam, and we come back from the break with Kurt in the ring and Corny begging him to calm down. Joe fights him again, and manages to lock in the choke as all the blackshirts try to pry him off. Corny gets the mic and makes the rubber match a 30 minute Iron Man Match. Uhhh, not sure why it's not steel cage or something, but whatever.

Cage now sneaks back in and attacks Kurt, but our little freak kills him with a German and tries to murder him. Tomko cuts him and beats his ass, but the lights go out and Sting shows up and helps Kurt clear the ring.

Goddamn.

Kurt walks into Cornette's office and asks what he wants. Jim says he gave him the match he wanted with Joe, and let them fight, and tonight he's made sure Joe won't come near him tonight. He now needs Kurt to come to ringside when he asks, and Kurt demands to know why he would want to do that. Jim laughs and says maybe he wants to do something for the person who can choose the next world title challenger. Kurt says he's got him there, and Jim says he's indeed got him where he wants.

TONIGHT; TOMKO VS ABYSS.

Match#1 Kurt Angle vs Maverick Matt w/Serotonin
I forgot these goons were with Raven now, so i got super hyped to hear his music before they walked on scene and ruined it. Kurt murders Matt in quick and awesome fashion with gross suplexes ands strikes and it's lovely to see him go nuts on this complete nothing. Kurt gets rid of the goons and beats Matt with the Angle Lock
**

Joe/Kurt hype video.

In the back, Team 3D are dressed in camo and are standing on a tank. D-Von hums the anthem as Bubba calls LAX disgrace to their race and declare war on them. Ahh, son of a bitch.

We see during the break that Raven beat the shit out of Matt with a cane.

In the back, JB is with Joe
-The big man says he didn't get involved as it was a simple request, but that match is over and he only cares about crippling and hurting him worse than he's ever been hurt before. He says there's 50 minutes left and Kurt better not turn his back.

Match#2 AJ Styles, James Storm & Chris Sabin w/Gail Kim vs Petey Willams, Christopher Daniels & Rhino
Wonderful flurry as the faces rush them and bounce them around the place with as much cool shit as they can muster. Rhino gets isolated after AJ hits him with a Lariat, and the dream team goes to work with a super fun control seg. AJ is perfect again as dirty mean shithead beating Rhino up, and getting the fans to hate him without a fight. Daniels gets the hot tag and lights everyone up, but Sabin attacks him from behind and it all breaks down as it tends to. AJ takes out Rhino with the Forearm and finally goes nose to nose with Daniels, and they have a great back and forth full of hate and awesome moves. AJ hurts his knee off a moonsault and Daniels stupidly falls for it, AND AJ GRABS A SCHOOLBOY AND BEATS HIM FOR 3.
**3/4

In the back, JB is with Mitchell
-James says for the first time in 18 months he's standing here alone without Abyss. He doesn't know where is or where he's been, all he knows is that the man he made a world champion who was building a dynasty is no longer here. He's now been backed in the corner and he didn't want to do it, but he's been left with no choice. Prove your loyalty or he's going to tell the world. He's the only man he can trust now. He won't yell or scream, he's just going to ask him to stand with him, or else.




At ringside. the cage from KOTM is there with a reserved sign on the front. DW and Mike are very confused.

We go to a pre-tape with JB and Chris Harris
-Chris has an eye patch on. He says he's got a risk of losing his vision, and he's really worried he may never come back to the ring. He can't believe that Storm has done this, and he's still hurt and confused about the whole thing. He doesn't know why it had to come to this when that man was his brother. He will never be able to look back on the last 5 years with a smile. He never wanted AMW to end like this.

In the crowd, LAX are trying to get to the ring as we see 3D standing there. Bubba says they took out Konnan, and we see him on the ground. Bubba says this is the first shot in the war, and LAX will be fighting them at the PPV. I have zero faith in these two old fucks, but LAX should be able to help them.

In the back, EY meets with JB. He has a bottle of pills and says his nipples are very tender now. HE ASKS JB TO TOUCH THEM, AND HE REFUSES. 3D walk on and make him leave. Bubba says more stuff about war and history, and says the NWA titles are their goal. LAX are dead come Sunday.

We go to another horrible VKM segment of them visiting the Alamo. They can't find Shawn, and are very mad.

Christian and Tomko come down to the ring where Corny is waiting for them. Jim says he told him last week that Tomko is barred from ringside for Sunday, so to make everything even he's making Cage get into the cage. Heh, get it. Christian is pissed and says the peeps don't want that for him, and he wants to know whose actually going to get him in there. They corner Jim, so Corny says Cage will lose his title shot if he touches him. He has a guy who owes him a favour that will do it for him, and Kurt comes out and forces Cage into the cage. Kurt now stays at ringside.

Abyss comes out on the other side of the stage as Mitchell looks at him in anger and shock from the other side of the Zone.

Match#3 Tomko vs Abyss
Fun power battle to start as Tomko uses his speed to hut and run, and the big man chases him down and bashes his head in whenever he can. Abyss misses a charge and hits the steps allowing Tomko to take over. Fun control work with some nice punches and elbows, and he's not bad at all. He targets the head and beats the monster down. He tries to use a chair, but Abyss kicks it into his face to finally turn the tide. Joe runs down and throws Kurt into the cage and brawls at ringside. Kurt gets the angle lock on, but Joe manages to kick him off and sends him head first into the table. Cage gets the key and unlocks it, and runs in to attack Abyss with a chair for the DQ
**

At ringside, Joe is choking Kurt out as blackshirts try to get him off. Back in the ring, the lights go out and Sting makes the save and runs Cage and Tomko off. Abyss raises Sting's hand, BUT HE TURNS IT INTO THE SHOCK TREATMENT AND KILLS HIM AS MITCHELL SCREAMS AT HIM IN JOY. ABYSS DEMANDS HIS TITLE BACK, AND JAMES GIVES IT TO HIM AND THEY REUNITE.

A billon angles and some good matches to boot. Russo is fine thus far... Sure i won't live to regret that.
