Hulk Hogan came out to start show and talked about offer Ric Flair made. Kurt Angle came out. Angle talked about taking out young veterans and added Sting. Sting vs. Angle for title later. Sting came out and accepts.
1. Gunner defeated Rob Van Dam in a Bound For Glory Series match. Gunner won via pinfall when Jerry Lynn interfered.
Eric Bischoff came out with Traci Brooks to address all the Knockouts in the ring. He talked about leadership and named Karen Jarrett the new head of the Knockouts division. She named ODB and Jackie to the roster. She then named Traci Brooks her assistant.
2. Jesse Sorenson and Brian Kendrick beat Austin Aries and Kid Kash. Sorenson pinned Kash via roll up.
3. Mickie James defeated Winter to win the TNA Knockouts Title. James won the match with a kick to the head.
Matt Morgan called out Joe and Joe and Matt brawled. Eventually, Joe hit Morgan in the arm with a chair against the ring post.
4. Christopher Daniels defeated A.J. Styles. Daniels got the win after Styles slipped on the ropes.
5. Kurt Angle defeated Sting to retain the TNA Title. Hulk Hogan was special referee. Kurt retains after interference and Angle Slam on chair. Immortal came down to beat Sting, and Anderson made the save.
Really don't see the point in them doing the whole KO's law deal as it just ends up being pointless. And as far as Jeff goes guess they are gonna lead up to him facing Angle for the title.9/8/11
1. The Pope and Devon beat The British Invasion to become No. 1 contenders to the TNA Tag Titles. Devon and Dinero won after Devon does a spinebuster type slam.
JB introduced the Bound For Glory Series final four - Bully Ray, Gunner, and Beer Money. Bully Ray cut a promo on how Beer Money won't be a team after the series. He put over Gunner as future and how he will make sure Bully Ray will be champion. There will be a four corners match with all four participating. Bobby Roode said they both want to be a champion and it's their dream. He says both will share victory after whichever one wins the title after Bound For Glory.
2. Eric Young defeated Robbie E to retain the TNA Television Title. Light Heavyweight champion Eduardo Alvarez is at commentary. Eric Young retains after Spike Piledriver.
3. Winter and Angelina Love defeated Mickie James and Velvet Sky. Winter blew mist in Mickie's eyes and then pinned her.
Austin Aries came out to great heat. He cut a decent promo and then Kendrick came out in a suit and did some crazy promo. It was a pretty decent exchange.
4. Gunner defeated Bully Ray, James Storm, and Bobby Roode in a four corners match. Gunner pinned Ray after a running knee.
5. Mr. Anderson beat Kurt Angle by DQ in a TNA Title match. The match ended in disqualification when Immortal ran out and attacked Anderson and Sting.
It was announced that The Network agreed to give Jeff Hardy a live mic. Hardy's promo was how he let the fans and the guys down in the back. He can't expect people to forgive him but he asks for one more shot and leaves.
Doesn't look that great, but at least there's nothing :fp: on it which is a nice surprise.Opens with Flair/Sting in-ring promo but it ends up being retaped later in a condensed form. Flair dropped Vince McMahon’s name during this promo but not the retape.
Backstage, Karen Jarrett talks condescending to Traci and tells her she has five minutes to gather up all the knockouts and bring them to her office.
8-Person Mixed Tag Match
Mexican America .vs. Pope, Devon, Tara, and Tessmacher
Turned into a big clusterfuck at the end. Tara and Tessmacher picked up stereo pinfalls (referee counted both falls because he probably couldn’t tell who was legal) after Tara delivered a Baldo Bomb to either Sarita or Rosita and Tessmacher transitioned into a pin immediately following a hurricanrana on the other.
Fortune In-Ring Promo
Styles, Daniels, Kazarian, and Storm all tell Roode how happy they are for him and how they know he’ll be the next world champ. Also of note, while Daniels was praising Roode, he kept on making snide comments about his victory over Styles (i.e. how he pinned a former world champ himself). Angle comes out and tells Roode that due to being aligned with Hogan he has stroke around here and over the next few weeks Roode will have to face each member of Fortune. Angle tells Fortune that he knows they want the title for themselves and they could choose to lie down for Roode but then they will end up all the way on the bottom of the title ranks or they could beat Roode and perhaps they’ll be next in line for a championship opportunity. Kazarian is Roode’s opponent tonight.
Qualifying Match for Knockouts Title Match
Angelina Love w/ Winter .vs. Velvet Sky
Sky pins Love after a blantant misfired title belt shot from Winter who accidentally hit Love right in front of the ref. I think it’s the first match of some type of tournament.
Flair/Sting in-ring promo retape
They hype up their match before security comes out to stop them from starting the match early.
Samoe Joe .vs. Matt Morgan
Joe wins via submission with a modified figure four leglock
Bobby Roode .vs. Kazarian
Roode wins via tapout.
Handicap Match
Bully Ray & Jerry Lynn .vs. Mr. Anderson
Bully Ray still needed to use his steel chain behind the ref’s back to put away Anderson even though it was a handicap match.
Main Event
Ric Flair .vs. Sting
Best part of the match = superplex from Sting to Flair. Ending was a clusterfuck. Interference from Immortal with Anderson clearing them away with a steel chair. Hogan stayed and handed Flair brass knucks. They don’t end up working for Flair in the end. Sting beats Flair via Scorpion Death Lock. Flair was so exhausted afterwards he had to be dragged out of the ring to his feet by security/agents/medics but he did walk to the back on his own.
I hate what they're doing with Joe. Christina Von Eerie fits with Ink Inc, especially since she's dating Jessie Neal. Plus it looks like we're going to see Hogan/Sting afterall & not a Tag Match10/6 Impact:
Beer Money came out and they talked about facing each other tonight. Roode said that he was upset about having to face his family at first, but it's actually preparing him for Kurt Angle at Bound for Glory. Storm and Roode both promised to bring their best against the other.
Gunner defeated Kazarian when he locked on a cross armbreaker. He wouldn't let go so they reversed the decision and Kaz won by DQ.
Ken Anderson came out and said he's never been good as apologizing but wanted to say he was sorry to his a**holes. He ripped on Bully Ray and they went back and forth. Anderson challenged Ray to a Falls Count Anywhere match at Bound for Glory.
*Winter and Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James and Velvet Sky.
*Eric Bischoff called Jeff Hardy to the ring. He ripped on Hardy for dropping the ball. He said Hardy was officially done with TNA and let everyone down. Hardy kicked Bischoff and nailed him with the Twist of Hate, then ran into the crowd when Immortal hit the ring.
*Crimson pinned Samoa Joe with a small package.
*Robert Roode pinned James Storm in a great match. Best thing on the taping. There was a referee bump, so of course Kurt Angle came out. He beat Storm on the floor while Roode was out of it and tossed him back in.
*Hulk Hogan came out for his retirement angle and started crying. Sting showed up and said no one believes it and this is why - he played a secret video of Hogan and Bischoff mocking the fans for believing it and that it was a ploy to sell Hogan shirts. Hogan cut a promo on Sting and said he will face Sting and Sting accepted.
10/13 Taping
*AJ Styles and Rob Van Dam defeated Jerry Lynn and Chris Daniels. Second best match of the show. Styles pinned Lynn with the Styles Clash.
*Kurt Angle called out Robert Roode and congratulated him on beating all of his partners. He mocked Roode and asked him how he would do without James Storm there to tag out too. He said if Roode can beat him, Angle will step aside and shake his hands. He tries to shake hands right there but Roode refuses. Roode cuts a good promo about wanting the belt and says he wants to see who the best wrestler in the world is and doesn't want anyone at ringside at the PPV. Angle agreed and headed to the back, telling Roode he had a handicap match tonight.
*Matt Morgan defeated Samoa Joe. Joe attacked Morgan and Crimson made the save. Joe challenged them to a Three-Way at the PPV.
*Mexican America challenged Ink Inc to a match. Christina Von Eerie debuted as Ink. Inc.'s valet and cleaned the house when the women got involved during a brawl.
*Brian Kendrick and Jesse Sorenson defeated X-Division champion Austin Aries and Kid Kash.
*Mr. Anderson pinned Scott Steiner.
*Bobby Roode defeated Jeff Jarrett and Gunner in a handicap match.
*They had a contract signing for Sting vs. Hogan. Bischoff distracted Sting, allowing Hogan to nail him with a chair to close the taping.
