Pyros go off as the iMPACT! theme plays.
Tenay: Welcome wrestling fans once again to TNA iMPACT! Mike Tenay, DW Don West here ringside, and well Don this Sunday TNA heads on the road once again for Sacrifice LIVE from Chicago, IL!
West: Everyone remembers the night TNA went on the road, last year for Bound For Glory! Career vs. title! Monster’s Ball! Well, Mike, Sacrifice may beat them all! We got the NWA World Championship! Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage, AJ vs. Samoa Joe, a Tennessee Bull Rope Match, and Team WCW vs. Team ECW! Speaking of which…
Sting’s music hits as Sting comes out of the tunnel with DDP and Scott Steiner behind him.
Sting: Everyone saw the little interview the Extremists did last week. They said some stuff that was pretty hard to swallow. However, some of it was true. They spoke the truth when they said I have a stupid baseball bat and face paint, Scottie’s weird metal hat, and DDP’s high five, but that was it. They tell nothing but lies when they say…they will win at Sacrifice. Team ECW vs. Team WCW is what they are calling it now! TNA thought it would be great to see all 6 of us be in an Elimination Tag Match to see what promotion was better. For us, it’s not about that! Hell, DDP, Scott Steiner, and I are fighting because we owe it to ourselves!
DDP: Yea, who took my ankle out and I was almost crippled, that would be Raven! I am not fighting for WCW’s honor, because that’s not the problem here, come this Sunday Raven will feel the bang!
Steiner: Not only that, now we come to the stupid weasel known as the Franchise Shane Douglas. At Destination X, Rhino fought Sting in a little 8 Mile Street Fight to see who was the real Icon. Thanks to Rhino’s jealousy, he couldn’t take Sting’s popularity, so he hired Shane Douglas to kidnap him in his trunk. Raven’s assault on DDP is what we fight for, Shane Douglas’ abduction of Sting is what we fight for!
Sting: Damn right! Now they couldn’t hold me for long, and my return at LockDown was only part one, part two is this Sunday!
Shane Douglas’ music hits as Shane, Rhino, Raven, and the Naturals stand at the top of the stage. The Naturals are armed with chairs.

They start laughing at them and walk back up the ramp. Team WCW is pissed.
Tenay: Wow, they sure can talk the talk, but they can’t walk the walk.
West: They cleared out of here fast, after Team WCW roasted the Naturals for about the 3rd time!
PROMO: Highlights of the results of the Jim Cornette Zero Tolerance System on Monty Brown.
Tenay: And yes Don, from the offices of Jim Cornette, this Sunday at Sacrifice, Jim Cornette will be in the ring and give his state of TNA address, looks to me like he has a lot of violations that he needs to blab about!
West: Mike, I hope it has nothing to do with me or you, we’ll see at Sacrifice!

This is different from WWE’s stupid bull rope matches, there are four guys in the ring. There will be two bull ropes linking each one member of one team to one of the opponents. I could be on one end while Brother Ray could be on the other.
Storm: Hey Chris, don’t forget to tell them that not only is the rope legal to choke your opponent with, in the middle of the 6 ft long rope will be a cow bell, which is also legal to smack the crap out of your opponent. Whoever can score a pinfall first will win the bull rope match.
