Commentary ran down the card including The Hooliganz vs Koslov/Kiyoshi, Danielson vs Strong, Ki/Joe/Homicide vs Ravarian/Skipper, and Sabin vs Booker T in the main event!

Footage from last week played of Bonham beating Perkins, but Perkins attacking after the match.

Match 1: Brandon Bonham vs TJ Perkins
Perkins rushed right in, but Bonham got him with some big strikes to set him away. Bonham bounced him around some, but Perkins got in a nice kick to the midsection, and he was suddenly in control. Taz brought up the fact that Bonham wrestled Hernandez on Impact, and a Spear from Hernandez is good enough to leave you with hurt ribs for a few weeks. Anyway, Perkins went after the ribs, but Bonham used some big strikes to create space when he could. He hot on a good roll after a nice heel kick, but Perkins blocked a neckbreaker and countered with a backbreaker, then hit the Puma Buster to win.
Winner via pinfall: TJ Perkins (6:02)

TJ celebrated in the ring.

Strong and Collyer were backstage, and Collyer told him to be careful with Danielson tonight because he doesn’t trust him. Strong said they’ve been friends for a while, and in fact Strong did a favor for him a few Impacts ago, so not to worry about. Collyer still looked uneasy.

--Commercial Break--

Match 2: Bryan Danielson vs Roderick Strong
They were both slow to get into it, but when Danielson was ducking a bit too much, Roddy lit him up with some chops. Danielson tried to respond in kind, but his weren’t as effective as Strong’s. Danielson instead worked to slow it down some, and he succeeded, keep Strong down on the mat. Strong had some holds of his own to counter, but Danielson still had the advantage. Strong finally got fed up and just starting chucking Danielson around with suplexes, but Danielson met him with the same! This gradually upped in intensity while staying in virtual stalemate, but that changed when Strong connected with a HUGE powerbomb to the corner! ONE … TWO … THRE – Danielson kicked out! Strong bumped him around some more targeting the back, but when he went for the Stronghold, Danielson pushed him away and caught him off the ropes with the small package! ONE … TWO … THR – Strong got out! Strong was up first and he tried a Gutwrench, but Danielson grabbed his arm and rolled forward for the LeBell Lock, but Strong quickly hopped up to get out. He went down to try for the Stronghold again, but Danielson held his weight and countered with the Butterfly Suplex! ONE … TWO … THRE – Strong kicked out! Danielson hit some big elbows and tried a Regal-Plex, but Strong floated over! He tried the Strong Backbreaker, but Danielson elbowed away and hit a DRAGON SUPLEX! Danielson climbed up top as Strong was down on the mat! FLYING HEADBUTT! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Bryan Danielson (7:52)

Danielson celebrated in the ring, and then the two shook hands!

--Commercial Break--

Hype for Young vs Morgan vs Storm for the TV Title at Destination X. They also talked about Morgan laying Storm out on Impact while teaming with him.

Match 3: Eric Young/Matt Morgan vs James Storm/Chad Collyer
Storm and Collyer ran this at the start, as Morgan and Young could never get into a rhythm. After a while, they finally managed to isolate Collyer and work over his neck. But he fought away from Young’s Sharpshooter, and he tossed him with the Karelin Lift! HOT TAG TO STORM! He came in and cleaned house, and topped it off with the Eight Second Ride to Young! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: James Storm/Chad Collyer (7:13)

Storm celebrated in the ring and signaled for the belt.

--Commercial Break--

A video package played outlining the Angle/Roode feud, dipping back to Roode being Angle’s bitch in Planet Jarrett, to Roode being instrumental in Christian’s turn on Angle, up now to their direct heat between each other. Interlaced were interview clips from both guys.

At the end, Nash said that all looked nice. But Shelley vs Samoa Joe vs London vs Homicide for the X-Division Championship at Destination X was going to rule all.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Hernandez was still raging about Scott Steiner, and said that he would be sorry.

Match 4: The Hooliganz vs Viktor Koslov/Kiyoshi w/ Schulz & Magnus
London was quick to mock Kiyoshi for being Asian with Kung Fu stuff, so the Jap rushed in with big strikes. They went back-and-forth for a while, and then Kendrick got in for them to do some double team stuff. Koslov eventually got in some, but he and Kiyoshi never got a control segment over either guy. Koslov ate Stereo Superkicks to send him to the outside, and then Londrick hit Kiyoshi with the Powerbomb/Sliced Bread #2 Combination to win.
Winners via pinfall: The Hooliganz (5:38)

London and Kendrick celebrated in the ring and signaled for their respective titles.

--Commercial Break--

In the back, Koslov yelled at Kiyoshi for being a huge fuck up, and he said that Japan is full of badass wrestlers, and he got stuck with a dud.

Match 5: Low Ki/Samoa Joe/Homicide vs Ravarian/Elix Skipper w/ Daffney
The faces largely dominated at the top, but some heel shenanigans allowed for a brief control segment over Homicide. He managed to hit Rave with a flash 187 though, and made the hot tag to Samoa Joe! He killed everybody, but Chris Daniels came out! The distraction let Skipper sneak up on Joe, and he tried a DDT, but Joe threw him off and followed up with a running headbutt! Low Ki got in to clean up, and he quickly made Skipper tap to the Dragon Clutch!
Winners via submission: Low Ki/Samoa Joe/Homicide (6:20)

Low Ki got up to celebrate, but Christopher Daniels pulled him outside the ring and started beating on him! Joe and ‘Cide went to save, but Shelley and Rhino ran down to attack! A mini-brawl broke out, and in the end Joe, Homicide, and Low Ki stood tall.

Booker T found Sabin backstage and told him that he had asked Lethal and Creed to stay in the back for the main event, and he requested that Sabin do the same with Jacobs, and he agreed. And their match is NEXT!

--Commercial Break--

Match 6: Booker T vs Chris Sabin
This started with a handshake, and then they had a respectful technical game. Booker T took over pretty easily due to his size and reach, and he worked over Sabin’s head and neck. Sabin started to flip around to get free, so Booker wasn’t afraid to DELIVER THE PAIN~ with punches and chops. Sabin responded with kicks and stuff, but Booker T caught him off the ropes with a big jumping calf kick! He started to pinball Sabin around, but Sabin ducked under the epic Bicycle Kick and hit an enzuigiri! Booker T fell to the outside, and Sabin wound up for a Suicide Dive, BUT BOOKER T MOVED! Sabin crashed out as Booker rolled into the ring, and he got that look in his eye! Sabin slowly got up, AND BOOKER TO RAN OFF AND TOOK HIM OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!!

--Commercial Break--

Booker T had Sabin largely controlled on the mat, cutting off Sabin’s comebacks with his size and strength. Sabin finally stuck a jawbreaker/neckbreaker combination, and then spiked Booker T with a high-angle hurricanrana! It was now Sabin who actually controlled Booker T for a bit, but before long Booker went back to his neck to make his comeback. He tried the Axe Kick, but Sabin ducked and grabbed a roll up! ONE … TWO … THRE – Booker T got out! They both got up, and Elder Negro immediately tried the Book End, but Sabin elbowed out, then hit another jawbreaker! SUPERKICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – Booker T kicked out! Sabin pulled him up and tried the Cradle Shock, but Booker T held his weight! Sabin ran off the ropes instead, BUT BOOKER HIT HIS OWN SUPERKICK! He fell down too though, and used the ropes to help himself up. Sabin slowly got up too, and Booker measured him up, then ran off the ropes, AND FLOORED HIM WITH THE BICYCLE KICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – SABIN GOT A FOOT ON THE ROPES! Booker pulled him up and tried the Axe Kick, but Sabin ducked again! SUPERKIC – No! Booker T grabbed his leg, then got a big elbow, and tried the Book End, but Sabin elbowed away once more! Booker T tried again, but this time Sabin swung around and got a Reverse DDT! He climbed out to the apron for his Springboard Tornado DDT, but Booker T threw him off! Sabin staggered to his feet, AND BOOKER T GOT OFF THE AXE KICK! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Booker T (14:29)

Tenay, Cornette, and Taz welcomed us to the show and ran down the card, highlighting the TWO Ultimate X matches tonight!

Hype package for the TV Title feud, discussing the ongoing heat between Young and Morgan for the title, along with Storm’s victories over both guys.

Match 1: Eric Young[c] vs Matt Morgan vs James Storm [TNA Television Championship]
Young tried the thing he did last month of ducking to the outside, but Morgan was aware of it so he took it to him on the floor. They brawled for a bit while Storm just walked around in the ring, and then he grabbed his beer bottle and started drinking some. He got bored with Morgan and Young on the outside, so the Cowboy took them both out with a STORM PLANCHA~. All three fought along the floor for a bit, but Morgan drove them both back-first into the barricade! He rolled Young in and started suplexing him around, and he hit an awesome side belly suplex to top it off! ONE … TWO … TH – Storm broke it up! He and Morgan traded some big blows, and Storm got off a Powerbomb to the big man! ONE … TWO … THRE – Young broke it up! Storm tried one on Young, but EY grabbed his legs and strapped in the Sharpshooter! He pulled back and had Storm in the middle of the ring, BUT MORGAN LEVELED YOUNG WITH THE CARBON FOOTPRINT! ONE … TWO … THRE – Storm JUST dove to save! Morgan beat Storm down some now, but when he tried the Hellevator, Storm held his weight to block. He got in some big body shots and tried a Superkick, but Morgan caught his leg. He ran off the ropes and tried the Carbon Footprint, but Storm ducked AND CAUGHT HIM OFF THE ROPES WITH A BIG SPINEBUSTER! ONE … TWO … THRE – Morgan kicked out! Storm pulled him up and tried the Eight Second Ride, but Morgan powered out! He tried the Hellevator, but Storm floated over! EYE OF THE STORM! He JUST stood up from it, AND HE WALKED INTO YOUNG’S SPIKE PILEDRIVER! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall and still TNA Television Champion: Eric Young (8:02)

Eric Young celebrated up the ramp with his title, and Storm was upset in the ring. Morgan got up and yelled up at Young, and then turned to glare at Storm.

Backstage, Kurt Angle cut a promo and said that Robert Roode was about to learn his lesson for failing to show an Olympic gold medalist the respect he deserves. Oh, it’s real. It’s damn real.

Daniels was in the back and he said that he received his first TNA Championship match two years ago at Destination X and was screwed by Sting; he was in the main event title match at Destination X last year and was screwed by Kurt Angle; but tonight he makes Destination X his night.

Shelley found Nash backstage and asked if his match was the main event, and Nash said that no, the TNA Championship Ultimate X was. Shelley said that was bullshit, and he stormed off.

A video played going over American Dragon coming to TNA, speculation over his identity and if he’s Bryan Danielson, Christian’s relationship with Danielson being wholly unknown, and Monty Brown wanting to murder Christian.

Match 2: Christian Cage/Bryan Danielson vs Monty Brown/The American Dragon
Danielson and Monty started it, and it was awesome. Danielson tried everything to chop down the monster, but Monty threw his strength around a ton. Christian got in and said he’d show Danielson how it was done, but he got bumped around even more! He scurried back and tagged Danielson back in, and then Monty tagged in Dragon! BRYAN DANIELSON VS THE AMERICAN DRAGON. They had some great mat stuff, and Dragon started lighting him up with chops! Danielson came back with kicks, but Dragon caught one and took him down with a Dragon Screw! Danielson screamed out and held at his leg, and it seemed like he was really hurt. Dragon gave him room and looked concerned, and the ref went over to check on him. Danielson was screaming that something was wrong, so the ref called for medical help! EMTs came running down and carried Danielson to the back as he yelled about his leg. Christian got in the ring and shouted out at Danielson to come back, and he was pissed. He threw a fit, and backed up RIGHT INTO MONTY BROWN! Monty pinballed him around some, but when he went for the POUNCE~~~~~, Christian kicked him in the balls to take the DQ.
Winners via disqualification: Monty Brown/The American Dragon (7:12)

Christian kept stomping at Monty, and then rolled out to grab a steel chair! He rolled in with it, and when Monty got up, Christian NAILED him across the skull! Christian posed over him, but Dragon came in and attacked Christian! He gave some big elbows, but when he ran off the ropes, Christian BASHED HIM WITH THE CHAIR TOO! He hit him once more for good luck, AND THEN STARTED TO UN-MASK HIM! Dragon fought back, but Christian kept punching him, and finally he got it. He pulled off the mask and it was … RODERICK STRONG?! But we’ve seen Dragon vs Strong before! WHAT THE HELL, TAZ?!

Christian looked stunned, but then pissed. He started stomping at Strong, until … BORN! IN THE USA! AND OUT RAN … THE AMERICAN DRAGON?! Mind fuck. Christian was confused as hell, and completely overwhelmed as this other American Dragon ran down and tackled him to the mat! He elbowed away like a madman as the crowd went nuts. Cage finally broke away and rolled out as the Non-Roderick Dragon stood up and celebrated. He grabbed a microphone and shouted that Christian was a coward and he was sick of him and Team Canada. And that’s why … HE QUITS TEAM CANADA! Huh? DRAGON PULLED OFF HIS MASK AND IT WAS BRYAN DANIELSON FUCK YEAH. Christian turned bright red with anger and he started shouting at the top of his lungs. He screamed that Danielson would pay for this, but he kept backing up the ramp … WHERE HE BUMPED INTO BIG MONTY BROWN! Christian was scared shitless, and Brown grabbed him and chucked him back into the ring! He staggered to his feet, and Danielson hit him with the Eagle-Plex! He climbed up top! SOARING EAGLE HEADBUTT! Monty climbed back in, and he tossed Cage against the ropes for the POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE~~~~~~~~~~~~~! PERIOD! Monty then military pressed Christian to the floor, and Monty, Strong, and Bryan Danielson celebrated in the ring.

Can you believe it, Taz? What a turn of events!

Robert Roode was watching from the back with disgust, and he turned to the camera and said he knew he couldn’t trust Danielson. But unlike Christian, tonight he’s going to take care of his problem in Kurt Angle.

The 3 Crazy Negroes were doing black things in the back, and Booker T said that every title defense felt better and better, with the high of knowing his career is on the line for each one. He said that he wouldn’t be enjoying his run with any guys more than Lethal and Creed.

Match 3: Kurt Angle vs Robert Roode
They went to the mat to start, and Roode actually held his own! He stuck a headlock for a long time, and Angle couldn’t shake it. Roode didn’t hesitate to use the ropes to help, but still, Angle couldn’t get anything going. He started to try to throw him off with suplexes, but Roode got in a few cheap punches and began laying into Angle. He was super aggressive and never gave Angle a chance to come back, until Angle got off his Flying Forearm off the ropes! It turned into a wild brawl, and then spilled out to the floor! It continued to be aggressive, including tackling into the barricade and some throws on the floor. Angle got the advantage after a German on the floor, and then rolled Roode in! ONE … TWO … THRE – Roode kicked out! Angle was pissed now and he really laid into Roode with big strikes and throws, but Roode hung on and took breaks when he could. After Roode tried to bail to the outside, Angle got him and hit the Triple Germans! ONE … TWO … THRE – Roode kicked out! Angle pulled down the straps and tried the ankle lock, but Roode rolled through and sent Angle to the floor! Roode finally got a good breather, and then went over to undo the top turnbuckle pad! The ref stopped him, but Roode went over and undid the other! Angle came back in, and Roode tried to send him into the corner, but Angle shoved him away and hit a big belly-to-belly! He tried the ankle lock again, but Roode rolled through once more AND THIS TIME ANGLE HIT THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! He flew back hard, into a Roode roll up! ONE … TWO … THRE – Angle kicked out! But he was busted open! Roode took back over in his beating, and he was even more aggressive, going for the cut when he could. Angle’s comebacks got harder and harder with more blood loss. Angle had one final batshit insane adrenaline-fueled comeback, but Roode dodged the Olympic Slam, and hit a HUGE spiking DDT! ONE … TWO … THRE – Angle JUST kicked out! Roode immediately jumped up and went to the corner to wait for Angle to get up. He pulled himself up by the ropes, AND ROODE CREAMED HIM WITH THE NORTHERN LARIAT! ONE … TWO … THRE – NO! ANGLE KICKE OUT! WHAT! Roode threw a fucking fit, Christian Wrestlemania 18 Style. He screamed at the ref, and called him a failure. He shoved the ref and then went back to the corner and tried to undo the turnbuckle pad again, but the ref stopped him. Roode left the corner and reached into his tights AND PULLED OUT BRASS KNUCKLES! He yanked Angle up and NAILED Angle in the face! Shit! He put the knucks back into his tights and called for the ref! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Robert Roode (16:32)

Roode got up and celebrated like crazy in what Cornette called somewhat of a semi-upset. Angle slowly got up and tried to tell the referee about the knucks, but it was too late. Roode celebrated up the ramp, and Angle was pissed in the ring.

Sabin and Jacobs were in the back, and they said that they were sorry they’d have to end Booker T’s career, but that winning those tag team titles meant everything to them right now.

Paul London cut a promo to continue his heat with Shelley.

Sean Hernandez came out to the ring and said it was bullshit that he wasn’t even considered to be in the Ultimate X match for the TNA World Championship tonight. He listed some of the names he’s beaten, including Mick Foley, Homicide, Low Ki, and D-Ray 3000, and said that those alone should get him some sort of attention. Scott Steiner came out and told Hernandez to shut the hell up and get to the back, because cries for attention like this would get him nowhere. They got in each other’s faces and shared words for a bit, but Hernandez seemed to back down. He started to leave, BUT THEN TURNED AND SPEARED SCOTT STEINER! HERNANDEZ SPEARED THE GENERAL MANAGER! He was super arrogant as he went to the back, and Steiner slowly got up and was irate.

Alex Shelley was in the back and he talked up his X-Division Championship.

A small video package played going over the slow rise of the Sabin/Jacobs tag team, along with the Negroes tag title run and how the paths crossed, and how the stipulation still stands that when the Negroes lose the belts, Booker T will retire from wrestling to become the General Manager.

Match 4: Booker T/Jay Lethal[c] vs Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs [TNA Tag Team Championships]
Sabin and Jacobs again ran it up front, with the continuing theme of established teams underestimating the chemistry between them. Lethal finally caught Sabin with a leg lariat off the ropes, but he stayed in, wanting revenge for Sabin beating him on Impact a couples weeks ago. They had a back-and-forth for a while, playing off some spots from their Impact match, including Lethal avoiding the Cradle Shock at all costs. Lethal made his mistake by going for a second leg lariat, but Sabin kicked it out of midair and really seemed to mess up his leg. He and Jacobs took over with some pointed leg work, and Jacobs especially seemed really eager to end it when he could. Sabin continued to slow it down and really try to wear it down, but Jacobs kept trying to lock in leg bars, and then he just forgot the leg and tried some high impact moves to get a pin. He hit some nice suplexes, but when he tried the Flying Back Senton, Lethal rolled away and tagged in Booker T! He came in with huge fire to Jacobs and really knocked him around. He tried to finish it with the Book End, but Jacobs elbowed away. He ran off the ropes for a Spear, but Booker T caught him with his awesome Spinebuster! ONE … TWO … THRE – Jacobs kicked out! Booker T kept on him and really worked him over, and when Lethal had healed up enough, he joined in too, careful not to use his leg too much. Jacobs got some good strikes in, so Lethal tried the Lethal Combination, but he hesitated after the STO Backbreaker half due to it hitting his bad leg, and Jacobs nailed a flipping neckbreaker! Hot tag to Sabin! He cleaned house with his high-flying, but Lethal tilt-a-whirled away from the Cradle Shock and tagged in Booker T! Sabin and Booker T squared off, both pretty fresh, and went wild with big strikes. Sabin tried a Superkick, but Booker T ducked and came off the ropes with his BICYCLE KICK! He pulled Sabin up and hit the Book End! ONE … TWO … THRE – Jacobs broke it up! Lethal rushed the ring and ring and tackled Jacobs out of the ring, but messed up his leg on the way out. Jacobs tossed him into the barricade, and then took him out with a Suicide Dive! In the ring, Booker T tried the Axe Kick, but Sabin ducked AND HIT A SUPERKICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – Booked T kicked out! Sabin gave some big elbows and tried to get him up for the Cradle Shock, but Booker T powered his way down. He tried a vertical suplex, but Sabin floated over and hit a Back Suplex! He climbed out to the apron, and measured Booker T up … EPIC SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT! ONE … TWO … THRE – BOOKER T KICKED OUT! Sabin couldn’t believe it! He tried the Cradle Shock again, but Booker T kneed out and came off the ropes with his flying elbow! Sabin staggered to his feet, AND BOOKER T HIT THE AXE KICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – JACOBS DOVE TO SAVE! Booker T yanked him up and exploded with chops, then sent him out of the ring! Sabin slowly got up and tried a Superkick, but Booker T ducked AND HIT HIS OWN SUPERKICK! Booker T pulled himself up top, AND HE JUMPED OFF WITH THE FUCKING HARLEM HANGOVER! ONE … TWO … THRE – NO! JACOBS JUST BROKE IT UP! Booker T jumped on him and fucking wailed on him with stiff elbows, going nuts. He tried to send Jacobs out of the ring, but he landed on the apron. He measured Booker T up for something, BUT LETHAL RAN ACROSS AND TACKLED JACOBS THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR! Booker T turned around, RIGHT INTO THE CRADLE SHOCK! ONE … TWO … THRE – NO! BOOKER T KICKED OUT! Sabin couldn’t believe it! He pulled Booker up again and tried one more Cradle Shock, but Lethal grabbed him from the apron! Sabin tried to shake him off, but it let Booker T get down. He tried the Bicycle Kick again, but Sabin ducked AND BOOKER T HIT SABIN! He turned around, AND SABIN HIT THE FUCKING OVER EASY! Jacobs slid in and climbed up to one corner, and Sabin climbed up to the other! Booker T was down in the middle of the ring, and Lethal was down on the floor! Sabin and Jacobs looked down at Booker T! FLYING BACK SENTON FROM JACOBS AND FLYING LEG DROP FROM SABIN COMB-O-NATION! ONE … TWO … THREE!!!
Winners via pinfall and NEW TNA Tag Team Champions: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs (17:29)

Sabin and Jacobs celebrate like crazy and went out to grab their new belts. Booker T slowly got up to a big ovation, and soon everybody realized that this meant that Booker T would have to retire! Booker called the new champs back in and graciously shook their hands, and then they went to the back. Lethal rolled in and looked sad, and then Creed came down too and looked upset. Book told them to brush it off and that they have big futures, and then the 3 Crazy Negroes went to the back

Commentary reacted to the Negroes losing the belts, and how this meant the end of Booker T’s 22-year wrestling career.

Kurt Angle was being bandaged up in the back, and he said that Roode was a dead man.

A big Bound For Glory VII on October 9! And, for the first time in TNA history, it will take place … IN THE LEGENDARY HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM!

A big hype package played, going over the Shelley/Homicide feud from a couple months ago, London’s momentum since returning to TNA last month, and Samoa Joe’s big announcement that he’d be in this match, and his promise to reclaim the X-Division from this nobody Alex Shelley.

Match 5: Alex Shelley[c] vs Homicide vs Paul London vs Samoa Joe [X-Division Championship – Title Defense #14]
All three guys surrounded Shelley, so he backed up, and started ran to one of the corners and started climbing up! They all pulled him down, and started pinballing him around! All three smacked him back-and-forth, and then pinballed him around together. London threw him into a Samoan Drop from Joe, who picked him up and chucked him into a 187 from Homicide! They pulled him up and set him against the ropes, and London Superkicked him to the outside! The crowd was losing it as finally Shelley was beat around, but then the three remaining guys turned to look at each other. They built to a start, and then the really got going beating each other around. Joe and ‘Cide sort of worked together when they could, but they also had no problem going at it themselves. London and Homicide started to work together to keep Joe down, and that pissed him off. He threw London off and then chucked him to the outside, and then punished Homicide for being a two-timing bitch. Headbutts, chops, kicks, elbows, etc. He went for the Muscle Buster, but Homicide slid down! 18 – No! Joe shoved him off and caught him back with his Snap Powerslam! Better than Orton’s! London came back in with a springboard, but Joe countered with a Samoan Drop! He pulled up London and Homicide, DOUBLE NOGGIN KNOCKER YEAH! He chucked them out, but turned into a DDT from Shelley! He started to climb, but Joe stopped him and pulled him off! All four guys took turns trying to climb up when they could, but spots happened. Rhino ran down at one point to stop London, and Love came down to beg off Homicide, so he shoved her out of the way because Mexicans have no problem pushing women. Joe continued to look like the dominant guy here, and everybody flew around some. London and Samoa Joe were down on the floor after some diving, and Homicide was climbing up, but Shelley caught him at the top and superkicked him off! He climbed out to the middle and grabbed the belt!
Winner via pinfall and still X-Division Champion: Alex Shelley (14:29)

Alex Shelley dropped down with his belt and held it title and hugged it closely. Love rolled in to celebrate with him, and Rhino helped him up and to the back. Homicide was still out of it on the outside, and London and Joe both got up and were pissed. Shelley taunted them on his way up the ramp, his belt still safe around his waist.

Lauren caught up with Booker T backstage and he looked sad, but said that tonight wasn’t the night to talk about him hanging up the boots.

Pre-tapes from all the guys played:

Christopher Daniels talked about how his prophecy would be fulfilled tonight.

Brian Kendrick said that literally nobody believes he can win tonight, and that’s exactly why he will.

Low Ki growled.

AJ Styles discussed how he’s the best in the world, and tonight he continues to prove that he’s The Man here in TNA.

Match 6: AJ Styles[c] vs Low Ki vs Christopher Daniels vs Brian Kendrick [TNA World Championship]
Styles and Ki went right for each other, so Daniels took a cheap shot at Kendrick and went at it with him. Daniels discarded of Kendrick first, so he went over to the other two, but they turned and started wailing on him! Styles and Low Ki worked together to bump him around, whilst Cornette brought up their histories with him. Anyway, they kicked him out and immediately went back to each other! They traded blows, but Kendrick came in with a Springboard Crossbody to take them both out! He was the first one to try to climb, but Styles yanked him down and threw him into a kick from Low Ki! And then Styles and Ki worked together to pinball Kendrick around! They eventually threw him out again, and then right away Styles and Ki went back at it! Styles eventually got pissed and just stuck a headlock, and started using the ropes to keep his leverage! Ki started to fight out, so Styles punched him in the throat and hit a Snap DDT! He pulled him up for a Brainbuster, but Ki kneed out. He tried a spinning backfist, but Styles ducked and hit the Pele Kick that sent Low Ki out! Styles started to climb, but Daniels came in to stop him. He and Styles went at it in the ring, and that’s never bad. Kendrick came in to get involved, and when Low Ki started to get back in, Styles convinced them all to take him out ahaha. Kendrick kept trying to climb whenever he could, but he got taken out by bigger and bigger moves until he was struggling to stay a part of the match. Low Ki and AJ brawled on the floor, and Styles brought out a chair! He went to bash Ki, but he ducked AND KICKED IT INTO’S AJ’S FACE! Styles leaned against the announce booth, AND LOW KI BASHED HIM IN THE SKULL! Bloody AJ laid across the booth as Ki returned to the ring to stop Daniels from climbing. They went at it for a bit, and Ki flattened him with a Spinning Backfist! He started to climb, but Kendrick met him at the top! They traded blows, and Kendrick met them up there to join in. Daniels kicked Low Ki down and traded stuff with Kendrick. Low Ki got back up and climbed up, and he looked across at Daniels and Kendrick going at it. He looked away, AND LOOKED DOWN AT AJ STYLES BELOW LAYING ACROSS THE ANNOUNCE BOOTH! He looked back at Daniels and Kendrick, AND HE LOOKED DOWN AT AJ! He looked at Daniels and Kendrick, and then he turned, AND LOW KI DOVE OFF THE X WITH A FLYING ELBOW DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ANNOUNCE BOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE DANGEROUSSSS!!!!!!! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS DESE MEN ARE DEAD. Daniels got distracted by it briefly, AND KENDRICK KICKED HIM OFF! He slid over to the middle, but Daniels ripped him off! Last Rites! He started to climb up, BUT LOW KI PULLED HIMSELF OVER HOLY SHIT WHAT A BAD ASS! Daniels look scared shitless, but he kept climbing anyway! Ki pulled himself up, but Daniels was already up and climbing out to the belt! Low Ki got up and pulled himself across! Daniels met him in the middle! Low Ki tried a big elbow, but Daniels ducked AND KICKED LOW KI OFF! DANIELS TURNED BACK TO THE MIDDLE! DANIELS GRABBED THE BELT! CHRISTOPHER DANIELS GRABBED THE TNA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Winner via pinfall and NEW TNA WORLD CHAMPION: CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!!! (20:12)

HOLY SHIT! HE DID IT! Christopher Daniels dropped down to his knees and maybe actually started to cry a little bit. THE NINE YEAR JOURNEY COMPLETE. The Enlightened came down to celebrate with him, but he sent them to the back and said that this was HIS moment. Kendrick and Low Ki returned to the back upset, and Daniels continued his celebrated in the ring. He climbed up one corner and looked down at Styles in the wreckage at ringside, and he got a huge grin on his face. Styles slowly came to, and he looked horrified to see Daniels holding his TNA World Championship in the ring. Daniels shouted that it was his time now, and he strapped the TNA World Championship around his waist to close the show.

TNA Impact: Prophecy Fulfilled
Impact Zone
Orlando, Florida
March 10, 2011

Clips of Destination X played to go over what happened, concluding with Christopher Daniels winning the TNA World Championship!

Chris Daniels came out alone to start the show, and when he was announced as the TNA Champion of the Wooooorld, his eyes lit up. He talked a bit about his dream coming to fruition, but he didn’t get very long before AJ STYLES came out! Daniels was hugely offended that AJ Styles would interrupt him, saying that AJ is used to the spotlight, but tonight should be a night to pay homage to a man who finally made it to the top. Styles tells him that it took him nine years because he was doing a lot of talking along the way, and so to cut that out. Daniels stopped him and said he was actually happy for Styles to come out, because it can help him address a feeling that he’s sure everybody has: that his victory was a fluke. He said that he could hear it now: he never PINNED the world champion; it wasn’t a one-on-one match; he’s just a paper champion. Styles says those are legitimate concerns, and so Daniels tells him that now it’s his turn to stop the talking. He told Styles to get his ass backstage, get his gear, and meet him in the main event TONIGHT for a one-on-one match for the TNA World Championship! AND AJ STYLES SAID IT WAS ON!

Commentary reacted to that announcement, but said that tonight was full of even more stuff: Roode vs Steamboat, a tag team title match, Hooliganz vs Ki/Homicide, and of course, an address from Booker T as he retires from active competition.

--Commercial Break--

Booker T arrived backstage by himself, and he looked stoic.

Match 1: Robert Roode vs Richie Steamboat
Roode was in an aggressive mood after Lockdown, but Steamboat took advantage of his fatigue and ran circles around him. He got in some nice arm drags and worked over the arm as a result, but Roode was really just too brutal. He threw some big punches and had some big throws. Steamboat kicked his way out of the Roode Awakening and he tried a running crossbody, but Roode ducked! NORTHERN LARIAT! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Robert Roode (6:03)

Roode celebrated in the ring, but Angle came out! They traded words, and Angle ended up attacking. Team Canada ran out to attack, but Monty Brown, Bryan Danielson, and Roderick Strong ran down for the save!

--Commercial Break--

Booker T was in the back at a desk, and he said that he would officially take over as General Manager starting next week on Impact. He said that he and Chris Daniels had a long history, but he respects the World Championship, and so he would not let his retirement overshadow in anyway the crowning of a new world champion, and a world title match in the main event. He said that was all he said tonight, but there would be more to say on Xplosion. He ended it by thanking everybody for everything, congratulating Chris Sabin and Jimmy Jacobs on winning the tag titles, and briefly putting over Lethal and Creed.

--Commercial Break--

Match 2: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs[c] vs TJ Perkins/Scott Lost [TNA Tag Team Championships]
Sabin and Jacobs did a bunch of tag team stuff at the top, but then do did Perkins and Lost! The challengers got in a surprising amount of double-teaming, but Sabin cut off Perkins with a big Superkick. He and Jacobs bumped him around some, but he caught Jacobs off the ropes with a back elbow, and dragged him to their corner. The heels isolated him briefly, but he caught Lost off the ropes with a Spear and tagged in Sabin! He cleaned house, and then Jacobs got back in to top it off. Sabin tossed Perkins to the outside, and then Jacobs hit Lost with the Flying Back Senton to win,
Winners via pinfall and still TNA Tag Team Champions: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs (7:10)

Jacobs got on the stick and presented some facts: (1) Kevin Nash is a dick, (2) Booker T had a classic feud with the Outsiders, (3) this coming Xplosion would be a tribute to Booker T, (4) The Outsiders are a legendary tag team, and (5) Tag Team Turmoil at BFG showed everybody that Scott Hall isn’t as out of shape as everybody thought. Put it all together, and they issued a challenge to defend the tag belts against the Outsiders this Saturday! HEY YO~.

--Commercial Break--

Hernandez burst into Steiner’s office, and demanded a title match after demolishing Mick Foley in a cage. Steiner called him a whiney bitch, and said he was sick of him complaining about everything. EY U KNO IT TAKED ME SIXTEEN YEARS 2 GET A WORLD TIGHTA MATCH. He said that as his final act as General Manager, he was booking a match for Xplosion: Sean Hernandez vs … SCOTT STEINER!

In the back, Collyer ask Strong if he was the American Dragon all along. Strong said no, he just did Danielson a favor on one Impact a couple weeks ago, and then again on Sunday. Collyer asked how he could trust Danielson, and Strong said they go way back, but Collyer was still unsure.

Alex Shelley was cutting a promo in the back about having defending his title in an Ultimate X, when AJ Styles couldn’t do it. Paul London walked up and said that Shelley was lucky, and that title was in his hands. Shelley said that he hasn’t been X-Champ for 15 months by luck. London laughed and said that some new talent was in town, and then he told Shelley to check him out after the break.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Nash said he just talked to Scott Hall on their direct line, and they would see Sabin/Jacobs on Xplosion!

Match 3: The Hooliganz vs Low Ki/Homicide
This was good. Both teams were top notch and had great chemistry of course, though perhaps Londrick were a bit better as a duo. Low Ki and Homicide eventually had a really brutal control segment on Kendrick, but he broke free after a double dropkick! London cleaned house, but he couldn’t finish it and it went back into a back-and-forth. Kendrick tried the Slide Bread #1 on Homicide, but he tossed him away! He tried a 187, but Kendrick threw him against the ropes, and caught him coming back with a small package! ONE … TWO … THRE – Homicide turned it over! ONE … TWO … THRE – Kendrick got out! They both got up and Kendrick got a roll up! ONE … TWO … THRE – Homicide kicked out, and quickly grabbed his own roll up with tights! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Low Ki/Homicide (9:41)

Homicide celebrated in the ring, and Kendrick got up pissed. They got in each other’s faces, but London and Low Ki showed them apart, and then shook hands.

Christopher Daniels was in the back, and Elix Skipper came up and said he was proud of him, after all these years. Daniels thanked him, and said that he’ll be damned if he’s going to lose his dream in one night.

--Commercial Break--

Bryan Danielson came out to “Born in the USA” and explained that he agreed to join Team Canada in order to get a contract back into TNA, but when Christian started making do a bunch of bullshit Canadian stuff, he thought he’d whip out his American Dragon persona to show some patriotism. It got a bit complicated when Christian started making him appear at the same time at the American Dragon, and that when he got his good friend Roderick Strong to stand in for him when he needed. He said he wanted no business with Team Canada after he and his buds kick their asses tonight, and at that he called out Collyer and Strong for the match to start.

Match 4: Chad Collyer/Roderick Strong/Bryan Danielson vs Tyson Dux/Petey Williams/Sean Morley
This was largely a showcase for the babyface trio, with Morley taking the brunt of the offense. Petey did throw his weight around on Strong some, but he lit him up with chops to send him back. Dux came in but ate some Collyer suplexes, and so Morley got back in again. He raked Danielson’s eyes and tried the Half Nelson Slam, but Danielson wrestled around and hit the Eagle-Plex! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Chad Collyer/Roderick Strong/Bryan Danielson (5:21)

Strong and Collyer celebrated in the ring, and then Danielson climbed in to join them, and Collyer warmed up and shook his hand!

Backstage, Chris Daniels told The Enlightened to watch from the back and witness the beginning of the greatest TNA Championship reign of all time.

Alex Shelley came up to AJ Styles and mocked him for losing his belt, when he defended his successfully. Styles got in his face and told Shelley that he wasn’t on his level, and to watch him go out and take back the REAL greatest championship in the main event tonight.

--Commercial Break--

AJ Styles came out first, and then TNA World Champion Christopher Daniels came out with a long entrance.

FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS~.

Match 5: Christopher Daniels[c] vs AJ Styles [TNA World Championship]
Oh shit. This had a really slow start, with a lot of feeling out. Daniels seemed to have a new confidence about him though, and he got a cocky grin every time he outmaneuvered AJ. He finally got fed up with Daniels controlling on the mat, so he grabbed a waistlock and then chucked him into the corner! He followed up with big punches, but Daniels grabbed one and put in a hammerlock! Styles started flipping out, but Daniels kept an arm bar and laughed at him! Styles tried everything to get out of the arm lock, and essentially they just copied from Piper/Hart at WM 8. Styles finally got pissed off enough that he slapped Daniels in the face! Daniels just laughed, and told him to do it again, and Styles did! Daniels laughed again and shouted, “SLAP YOUR WORLD CHAMPION AGAIN, AJ!” and Styles tackled him out of the ring, and they both spilled to the floor! They brawled wildly on the outside, and as the ref tried to gain control, it went to a break.

--Commercial Break--

They kept fighting in the ring, but when Daniels hit a Stomachbreaker, Styles started flailing around. Commentary brought up Styles going through the announce table on Sunday and how it must have destroyed his ribs, and he probably didn’t tape them so that Daniels wouldn’t know! But Daniels realized, and he pounced on the ribs. Styles tried to come back with flurries, but Daniels scouted all of his signature stuff and blocked it. His beatdown got progressively more aggressive when Styles wouldn’t stay down, topped off by a Camel Clutch! Styles got a huge burst of energy and fought to his feet, and he countered with a BACKPACK STUNNER! Both guys fought to their feet, with Daniels up first. He pulled Styles in and tried a Powerbomb, but Styles floated through with a sunset flip! ONE … TWO … THRE – Daniels kicked out! Daniels was up first again and he tried the Angels’ Wings, BUT STYLES COUNTERED WITH THE COUNTER THAT ALWAYS BEATS DANIELS! ONE … TWO … THRE – Daniels JUST got out! Daniels charged at him down, but Styles ducked and he hit the corner! PHENOMENAL DDT! ONE … TWO … THRE – Daniels got an arm up! Styles held at his back but tried for the Styles Clash, but he back gave out and he couldn’t get him up. Daniels tried a vertical suplex, but Styles floated over AND HIT THE PELE KICK! Daniels stumbled back and fell out through the ropes. Styles got up and ran off the ropes, and came back out with the FOSBURY FLOP!!!

--Commercial Break--

Styles was beating Daniels around the ring when it returned, but Daniels went to the eye quickly. He got in some strikes, but Styles returned some big punches and whipped him HARD into the ropes. Styles charged, but Daniels got a boot up! He jumped up to the top and leapt off, but Styles DROPKICK HIM OUT OF MIDAIR! ONE … TWO … THR – Daniels kicked out and rolled to the outside. Styles followed him out and beat him all around the floor, using the barricade, ring post, and steel steps at his disposal. He finally took it back inside and continued his offense, but when he tried the Rack Bomb, Daniels kneed his way out. He kicked at the midsection some to break away, and then connected with a big Exploder Suplex! ONE … TWO … THR – Styles kicked out! Daniels pulled him up and tried the Last Rites, but Styles spun through and came off the ropes with a SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE! He crawled over to cover, but by then Daniels had rolled over. Styles tried another one, but Daniels ducked and got Styles on his shoulders, but STYLES GOT A VICTORY ROLL! ONE … TWO … THRE – Daniels got out! Styles tried the Discus Lariat, but Daniels ducked. He got behind and tried the Last Rites, but Styles swung through and kept spinning for his DISCUS LARIAT! Styles flew back from the impact, and he rolled out to the apron. He stood up and springboarded in with his 450 SUPERMAN SPLA – NO! DANIELS GOT THE KNEES UP RIGHT TO AJ’S MIDSECTION! He writhed around on the mat, and Daniels saw his chance! He ran to the corner for the BEST! MOONSAULT! EVER! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall and STILL TNA WORLD CHAMPION: Christopher Daniels! (28:12)

HE DID IT! Daniels pulled himself up and celebrated like crazy with his TNA Championship. Styles got up and couldn’t believe it, but he left the ring to let Daniels celebrated alone. He strapped the title belt around his waist like a real champion, and the Enlightened came down to join him. They all stood around him, with Daffney around his neck, and Daniels looked up to the ceiling and shouted: PROPHECY FULFILLED!

TNA Xplosion
Impact Zone
Orlando, Florida
March 12, 2011

Scott Steiner opened the show in the ring and talked about the stipulation that he was Interim GM until Booker T lost his tag team title, at which point he would retire from active competition and take up the GM spot permanently. He said that tonight would be dedicated to his career, and then he put Book over, before sending it to an irrelevant opening match.

Match 1: Los Infernales vs Alex Shelley/Rhino w/ Angelina Love
Shelley welcomed a challenge, so Averno stepped up. They went on the mat for a bit, but when the lucha starting whipping out some pinning combinations, Shelley tagged out to Rhino. He threw around his weight some, but he got caught up in their speed and Los Infernales started to bat him around some! He finally caught Mephisto with a big side suplex, and then a control segment commenced. They beat him down real well, but Mephisto got Shelley with a flying enzuigiri! He crawled over for the tag, but Shelley pulled him back by the leg. The lucha jumped up for another enzuigiri, but Shelley ducked! SHELLSHOCK! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Alex Shelley/Rhino (6:05)

They celebrated in the ring, and Alex Shelley said that he was pretty sure he was better than AJ Styles, but he’s certain that he’s better than Christopher Daniels, and so there should be no doubt that the X-Division title is the premier belt in the industry.

Commentary announced that Bryan Danielson has been signed to TNA with a contract separate from Team Canada, despite strong lobbying against it by Christian Cage.

--Commercial Break--

JULY 31, 1992: Booker T and Stevie Ray win their first tag team title in a local Texas fed.

Commentary talked some about the semi-recent history between Sabin/Jacobs and Nash/Waltman.

Nash and Hall came out and cut a drawn out, unnecessary promo, and Hall called TNA Blue for wasting an Xplosion match on Outsiders. Er, uh, whatever.

Match 2: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs[c] vs The Outsiders w/ Sean Waltman [TNA Tag Team Championships]
Soooo much taunting and showboating by the Outsiders. Nash finally agreed to lock up with Sabin, and he threw his weight around well. Sabin worked to chop him down, but he couldn’t get much done. Nash got a big boot and tried the Jackknife, but Sabin rolled through with a sunset flip! ONE … TWO … THR – Nash got out! Sabin really took it to him now with high-flying, and Jacobs got in to do the same. Jacobs tried a Spear to end it, BUT NASH BOOTED HIM IN THE FACE! He dragged Jacobs over, AND SCOTT HALL TAGGED IN. HEY YO~! Hall toyed with him, but did some offense. Nash got back in and did most of the beating, but Hall and Waltman got involved to cut off his comebacks. Nash called for the end, but Hall wanted back in! He pulled Jacobs up for the Razor’s Edge, but Jacobs slid down and came off the ropes with a SPEAR! Sabin and Nash got tagged in! Sabin ran circles around him and got in some nice high-flying strikes, but he couldn’t get him up for the Cradle Shock. Nash elbowed him away and tried the Jackknife, but Sabin punched away AND HIT A SUPERKICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – Hall broke it up! Jacobs rushed the ring and tackled Hall out! Nash got up and tried to boot Sabin, but he ducked and hit a big hurricanrana! Sabin climbed out to the apron, and when Nash got up, Sabin hit the SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall and still TNA Tag Team Champions: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs (7:12)

Sabin and Jacobs celebrated with their belts in the ring.

--Commercial Break--

1993 – 2001: In a pre-taped promo, Scott Steiner talked about Booker T’s days in WCW, including classic tag team feuds, classic TV title matches, and multiple world championships.

Match 3: Sean Hernandez vs Scott Steiner
They mouthed for a bit, AND THEN STEINER TOOK HERNANDEZ DOWN WITH A SIDE HEADLOCK. He used his power to keep Hernandez on the mat for a bit, but the monster fought back. He punched Seiner around a bit, but Poppa Pump stayed in it when he could. Hernandez got pissed after some Steiner punches, and he tried the Spear, but Steiner rolled out of the way! Hernandez hit the corner, and bounced back into a Steiner belly-to-belly! ONE … TWO … THRE – Hernandez kicked out! Steiner tried another one, but Hernandez blocked it and hit the Cracker Jack! Now he took over and really just punished Steiner, not too concerned with ending it. Steiner got a brief break after sliding down from the Border Toss and tackling Hernandez to the mat. He tried to put in the Steiner Recliner, but Hernandez blocked it and chucked him off. He followed up with the Spear, and then hit the Border Toss! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Sean Hernandez (5:46) (117 – 0)

Hernandez celebrated in the ring, but then pulled Steiner up and hit him with another Border Toss!

Roderick Strong was walking backstage, and Christian Cage came up! He said that was a cute little charade he pulled in helping Danielson at Destination X, and then Cage punched him in the face and tossed him into the wall!

--Commercial Break--

2001 – 2007: In a pre-taped promo, Kurt Angle talked about Booker T’s days in WWE, including tag team, US, IC, and world titles. He also touched on classic moments like his team with Goldust, his feud with Stone Cold, his reign as King, and main eventing Wrestlemania.

Match 4: X-Division #1 Contender’s Battle Royal [Participants: Strong, Kendrick, London, Koslov, Kiyoshi, Magnus, Steamboat, Petey, Perkins, Lost, Bonham, and Edwards]
Basic cruiserweight battle royal stuff. The allies stuck together when they could. Edwards was out first after a Polish Hammer from Petey Williams, and when Bonham went after him in revenge, he was eliminated the same way. Steamboat took it to all of the Axis Powers and was super fiery, but they ended up triple teaming him. He fought back though, and sent Magnus out with a headscissors, and he skinned the cat to came back in! But as soon as he turned around, Kiyoshi karate kicked him! He pulled Steamboat up to toss him, and Koslov ran across and knocked them both out! But he told Kiyoshi it was an accident! Didn’t matter, because Strong Sick Kicked Koslov out! We’ll be back.

--Commercial Break--

Londrick was squaring off against Perkins and Lost, AND PERKINS DUMPED KENDRICK! London exploded with big strikes to Perkins, but Lost jumped on him and they double-teamed him. Elsewhere, Petey was throwing his power around at Strong, but Strong tossed him with a fallaway slam!
FINAL FOUR: Roderick Strong, Paul London, TJ Perkins, and Scott Lost.
Strong and London sort of worked together to counter the double team, and after briefly being beaten down, the faces each eliminated one of the heels at the same time. It came down to London and Strong, and they went back-and-forth with some signature offense to wear the other guy down. Strong tried to put in the Stronghold, but London pushed him away and Strong flew out to the apron, but stayed on. London tried a Superkick, but Strong ducked and pulled London out to the apron with him! They traded blows there, and Roddy got him in position for the Strong Backbreaker, but London elbowed away! SUPERKICK! Strong flew back and fell off the apron!
Winner and new #1 contender to the X-Division Championship: Paul London (14:34)

London celebrated in the ring, but Shelley came out and held up his title in London’s face. London just laughed.

Backstage, AJ Styles cut a promo about how disappointed he was in losing the championship to Daniels. He said that it certainly wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t been worn out from a 45-minute draw the month before with constant in-ring action every week thereafter. And certainly not if he hadn’t been KICKED OFF THE TOP OF THE X AND SENT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE BOOTH. In fact, his title loss really squares on one person’s shoulders: Low Ki.

NOVEMBER 11, 2007: Booker T debuts as Sting’s mystery partner for a tag match against Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash.

--Commercial Break--

JULY 13, 2008: Booker T gets within a few seconds of beating Samoa Joe for the TNA Championship.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2010: After a lengthy feud with the Enlightened, Booker T and Jay Lethal beat Ravarian for the TNA Tag Team Championships.

And next: Booker T’s going-away ceremony.

--Commercial Break--

Booker T came out alone to a big ovation, and he talked about the honor of performing for the fans for 22 years now. He said that his four years here in TNA have been among his favorite, and he would never forget these fans here in the Impact Zone. He thanked the fans, and he thanked his boys Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed for giving him a hell of a final ride in his career.

Lethal and Creed came out and said that as grateful as Booker was for others, everyone was even more thankful for him. He called out people to come see celebrated with Booker T: His wife Sharmell, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, Rick Steiner, Colonel Parker(!), Jackie Moore, JBL, Mick Foley, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, Lance Storm, Jim Duggan, other old people that don’t matter, and then most of the faces on the active roster that wouldn’t ruin any storylines. Booker thanked everybody in the ring, and then thanked Lethal for putting this together, but Lethal said that it wasn’t done yet:






AND STEVIE RAY CAME OUT! ESTRANGED BROTHER REUNITED! Booker T broke down and started to cry a little bit, and I can write whatever I want. Book and Stevie hugged in the middle of the ring and the Harlem Heat was reunited! Steiner grabbed a microphone and said that his GM position ends after tonight, so there’s still time to book one more match. He said that it was a fantastic event for him to see the Harlem Heat back together, and he ran it by them if they were up for one more match. He said his ribs still hurt from earlier, but he and Rick might still be up for one more match. Booker T thanked him and said that would be a great honor, but he said that Harlem Heat vs The Steiner Brothers was a legendary feud that should lay to rest. HOWEVER, if Stevie was up to it, the Harlem Heat in one final match would be the best way for him to finish his career. Stevie agreed, and asked who they would be facing, and Booker T turned … TO THE 2 CRAZY NEGROES! Booker asked Lethal and Creed if they would like to face the Harlem Heat. RIGHT HERE. TONIGHT! 2CN was taken aback, but they accepted! The crowd and people in the ring erupted in applause as they cleared out and 2CN vs Harlem Heat was set up in the ring. AFTER THIS BREAK!

--Commercial Break--

Commentary said that Spike TV agreed to let the show go on until the finish of this impromptu match!

Match 5: Harlem Heat vs 2 Crazy Negroes
This was predominantly Booker T vs Jay Lethal. They had a big back-and-forth starting from the mat, getting more impactful in their moves, and running through some signature stuff. Creed got in too, but Booker T quickly leveled him with the Bicycle Kick! OH SHIT STEVIE RAY TAGGED IN. He got in some big strikes and hit some signature stuff too, but he missed a Big Boot, and Creed got Lethal back in. He and Booker T went at it once more, and Booker T hit a Superkick! ONE … TWO … THRE – Lethal kicked out! Booker T pulled him up and tried the Book End, but Lethal elbowed away, but Booker T still got off a heel kick. He looked over at Stevie Ray, and they knew what was coming! Booker T climbed up top, and Stevie Ray got Lethal up in the Electric Chair, AND BOOKER T LEPT OFF WITH THE FLYING MISSILE DROPKICK! ONE … TWO … THRE – LETHAL KICKED OUT! Booker measured him up and tried the Axe Kick, but Lethal moved AND HIT THE LETHAL COMBINATION! Lethal pulled himself up top and looked down at Booker! LETHAL ELBOW! ONE ... TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: 2 Crazy Negroes (6:02)

Lethal immediately pulled Booker T up and hugged him, then held up his arm. Creed and Stevie Ray joined them in the ring and shook hands, and Booker T asked for a mic. He said that the young guys like these two were the future of TNA and the wrestling company. He then gave the fans one last thank you, and asked everybody to back up so that he could go out in just the way he wanted.

SPIN-A-ROONIE FUCK YEAH! Good night, and good luck.

 

[ahorrig]

I realized that no-one reviews any shows, so I decided to review yours. I figure without reviews shows will never get better. (impact and xplosion.) here it is. The only really bad point is the gm wrestling, especially since he lost, but if it helps Hernandez its ok. If you're setting up for a feud with aj and low ki then that would be awesome. Bookers retirement went well, as it was simple and not too extravagant. Overall you are going quite well, but some clarity about some peoples character would help.

The show started immediately with clips of Christopher Daniels’ greatest moments in TNA, with him doing a voiceover: “Tonight, we celebrate the culmination of a nine year journey. Tonight, we pay homage to a Founding Father of this very company. Tonight, we acknowledge that the glass ceiling has at last been shattered despite rampant disbelief. Tonight, we celebrate the beginning of the TNA Championship reign of the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. Tonight, we celebrate the prophecy fulfilled."

Christopher Daniels was backstage, and he said that he about got sick watching Xplosion pay tribute to a perennial almost-star, and so tonight would be dedicate to yours truly. He said that we would see clips of his greatest moments here in TNA, leading up to a celebration ceremony in the main event slot. A celebration fitting for a champion. Enjoy Impact, ladies and gentlemen, brought to you by Christopher Daniels and the Enlightened.

DECEMBER 18, 2002: Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, and Low Ki form Triple X.

Winners via pinfall: Ravarian (7:10)

Ravarian celebrated in the ring.

AJ Styles was backstage, and Low Ki charged up to his face! Styles told him to chill out, but then started to go off on him for making him lose his world title. Ki started to get pissed, but Styles backed off. He said that Low Ki thinks he’s real tough, but his cute little façade can’t hold up in the ring twice in a row against the Phenomenal One. He challenged Low Ki to a match tonight, and Low Ki nodded his head!

2003 – 2004: Triple X has their classic tag team feud with America’s Most Wanted.

--Commercial Break--

MARCH 13, 2005: Christopher Daniels wins an Ultimate X at Destination to win his first ever X-Division Championship, from AJ Styles. Oh, the parallelism.

Match 2: Elix Skipper/Daffney vs James Storm/Jackie Moore
Skipper tried his best to take Storm on, but the Cowboy was too big. He threw his weight around for a bit and all but squashed Skipper, so he bitched out and tagged in Daffney! Jackie Moore got in, and Daffney got terrified because of black. Moore ran across and tackled her to the mat at CATFIGHT, etc. Skipper got pissed and got back in, but he walked right into the Eight Second Ride to lose.
Winners via pinfall: James Storm/Jackie Moore (4:52)

Storm and Moore celebrated to the back, and Skipper pulled himself up as Daffney got up on the floor. He started to head to the back, BUT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS CAME OUT. He said that Ravarian impressed him earlier with their victory, and Daffney makes sweet, dirty love to him. But, Skipper, ohhhh Skipper. He said that Skipper had been by his side essentially for his entire nine-year journey to the world title and that he values loyalty. But more than that, he values results, and the Enlightened had no room for losers with a world champion at the helm. Skipper got on his knees and begged for forgiveness, but Daniels said that, while it hurt him more than he could know, that he had to be cast from the Enlightened, and could never return. Skipper looked crushed, but Daniels told him to pull himself up and face it like a man. Skipper got himself together and got to his feet, BUT DANIELS KICKED HIM IN THE GUT AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE ANGEL’S WINGS! Daniels snatched Daffney to the arm and returned to the back, his always faithful soldier laid out in the ring.

Match 3: Eric Young[c] w/ Tyson Tomko vs Matt Morgan [TNA Television Championship]
Young tried his traditional plan of chopping at Morgan’s legs, but Morgan blocked it this time by taking him to the mat! This match of their series was unique in that it mostly stayed on the mat so that Morgan could avoid Young going for his legs. Morgan used his power on the ground some, but Young managed to outwrestle him with pro holds, and he began to target the arm. Morgan got nervous and came back with throws, but Young went back to the arm to neutralize him. Morgan started to come back with shitty kicks now, and he topped it off with a Chokeslam with his good arm! ONE … TWO … THRE – Young kicked out! Morgan pulled him up and tried the Hellevator, but Young floated over. He tried to wrestle Morgan into the Sharpshooter, but Morgan held his weight and picked up Young for a Powerbomb! Morgan called for the end and he climbed up top, BUT TOMKO SHOVED MORGAN DOWN! Morgan staggered to his feet, and Young hit the Spike Piledriver! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall and still TNA Television Champion: Eric Young (6:55)

Tomko rolled in and helped EY up and put the belt on his shoulder. He turned around, RIGHT INTO THE CARBON FOOTPRINT! Morgan lunged for Young, but he ducked out and escaped up the ramp.

Commentary announced Roderick Strong vs Christian Cage for Xplosion!

Match 4: Bryan Danielson/Roderick Strong vs Bailout w/ JBL
Danielson and Strong showed some decent chemistry, but it was mostly them as individuals taking on each of the heels. At first, this worked well. Danielson kept Davey contained on the mat and wrenched over his neck, and Strong managed to duck Burke’s jabs and light him up with chops. Roddy got on a roll and began to work over Burke’s back with throws, but JBL caused a brief distraction and Burke got a HUGE uppercut. Bailout began to isolate Strong with plenty of cheating and heeling. Strong got Davey with a nice Butterfly Suplex and made the hot tag to Danielson! He cleaned house on both guys, but when he went to put in the LeBell Lock on Davey, he rolled through, and chucked Danielson into a Pimp Slap from Burke! Danielson charged with big elbows, but Davey grabbed him from behind and hit a big German Suplex! Danielson was isolated now, but it wasn’t for as long, and Danielson hit Burke with a Butterfly Suplex! HOT TAG TO RODDY! Backbreakers for everyone. He went for the Strong Backbreaker on Davey, but he elbowed him away into a Pimp Cane shot from Burke! Strong stumbled back into the Bankrupt Driver as Burke ran across to cut off Danielson! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Bailout (8:42)

Bailout celebrated in the ring, and JBL clapped for them.

--Commercial Break--

AUGUST 8, 2010: Daniels beats Booker T in what Daniels calls Booker’s only good match within the last 8 years.

Match 5: AJ Styles vs Low Ki
There was a really lengthy mat segment, and neither guy wanted to switch it up due to wanting to be better than the other. Styles finally got some good control by targeting the neck. He did a good job in dominating, but when he started to get overly aggressive, Low Ki had no problem going after the ribs that Styles messed up by going through a table at DX. Styles kept trying to block body shots, but Ki came at him from every direction. Styles finally just got pissed and he rolled to the outside, so Low Ki took him out with a Corkscrew Plancha!

--Commercial Break--

The rest of the match grew in intensity and played off of the story and spots of their time limit draw at Against All Odds, which I didn’t wrote out, so you will never know what that entails. Anyway, the match kept ending up back on the floor where wild brawling would commence. Styles ended up hitting the Styles Clash on the outside, but he had trouble rolling Low Ki in, but he finally did! ONE … TWO … THRE – Low Ki kicked out! Styles pulled him up and tried a Styles Clash on the inside, but Low Ki body dropped away! They both fought to their feet, and Styles tried a roundhouse, but Ki ducked under and struck back with a Springboard Roundhouse! He pulled himself up top, BUT STYLES RAN UP AND SHOVED LOW KI OFF AND HE FELL TO THE OUTSIDE SHIT! Styles rolled out to fight him again on the floor, and he dove and tackled him over the announce booth! They fought behind the table, and then on it. Styles tried the Clash on it, but Low Ki shoved away and hit his Spinning Backfist! Styles collapse on the table, and Low Ki went back to the ring. The ref started his count, but Low Ki climbed up top! AND HE JUMPED OFF THE TOP AND TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A MOONSAULT TO STYLES THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! The ref counted them both out, and it was again a draw.
No contest due to count out (15:12)

Officials ran out to help Styles and Low Ki up from the carnage, and they both needed some help to the back.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2010: Chris Daniels has Samoa Joe beat for the TNA Championship, but semi-possessed AJ Styles makes a run-in and ruins Daniels’ dream.

--Commercial Break--

MARCH 6, 2011: Christopher Daniels, at long last, wins the TNA World Championship!

Christopher Daniels came out by himself to a huge setup in the ring, complete with streamers and a table with pictures of his greatest moments on it. He went off for a while about his greatest moments here, the ups and downs of his career in TNA, his favorites feuds and favorite moments, and how it all led to this. He said that he’d been performing for these same fans for nine years, and yet they STILL don’t appreciate his title win! He calls them hypocrites who celebrated like crazy when AJ Styles, Christian Cage, and Samoa Joe won their first world title. But now, when somebody so integral in the growth of TNA, wins the belt, they boo him?! He went for a bit, but said none of it mattered anyway, because he has the TNA Championship, and all is right in the world. He talked himself up a bit more...













UNTIL SAMOA JOE CAME OUT! Daniels shouted at him as he walked down the ramp for disrupting the ceremony. He called him ungrateful, disrespectful, hypocritical, unappreciative, idiotic, malicious, undeser – SAMOA JOE GRABBED CHRIS DANIELS AND POWERBOMBED HIM THROUGH THE TABLE, YEAH! The crowd went nuts as Joe held up the TNA Championship over Daniels’ downed body to close the show.

Taz and Nash welcomed everybody to the show and hyped the main event of Sabin/Jacobs vs Koslov/Kiyoshi in a tag team title match. Nash also announced that Alex Shelley vs Paul London was officially signed for Lockdown, and that there would of course be an X-Scape match at the PPV. Tonight we would see two qualifying matches: Brian Kendrick vs TJ Perkins and Homicide vs Scott Lost! And here’s one now!

Match 1: Homicide vs Scott Lost w/ Kenny King [X-Scape Qualifier]
Homicide tried to fly around some at the start, but Lost did a pretty good job at grounding him. He worked a chinlock for a while, but Homicide came back by throwing some big strikes. Lost returned them and this turned into a bit of a brawl, but ‘Cide got on a roll and pinballed him around some. He tried the West Brooklyn Lariat, but Lost ducked and hit a big roundhouse. Lost tried a piledriver, but Homicide shoved him away and hit the 187 to win.
Winner via pinfall: Homicide (6:02)

Homicide celebrated in the ring.

Christian Cage arrived in the back.

--Commercial Break--

Commentary announced that Kurt Angle had asked Chad Collyer to join his Lethal Lockdown team due to his history with Team Canada and success in tagging with Angle, and Collyer accepted.

Match 2: Bailout vs Monty Brown/Chad Collyer
Monty and Collyer worked well together tossing Bailout around with throws and stuff. Collyer got caught up in some double-teaming and Burke tried to contain him on the mat, but Collyer used amateur stuff to counter that. Bailout could never really get good momentum on either guy until Collyer got distracted by Burke getting his Pimp Cane from ringside, and Davey sneaking up with a big German Suplex. They isolated him for a bit with good solid heeling, but Collyer hit Burke with a big Belly to Belly! He crawled over to Monty, but Christian Cage ran down! Monty argued with him and missed the tag from Collyer, and when the ref went over to yell at Christian, Burke nailed Collyer with the cane! Davey called for the ref and covered, ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Bailout (6:54)

Cage backed up the ramp and told them that they would regret messing with Team Canada.

--Commercial Break--

Bailout was backstage, and Burke was on the phone, and he promised JBL that they would move up and take the tag titles as soon as possible.

Sean Hernandez came out and cut a promo saying he’s been told he can only win small-time matches, but to tell that to Homicide, Mick Foley, and now Scott Steiner. Then Chuck Taylor came out! He said he was sick of Hernandez being a BULLY~ to two guys in a row that were nice enough give him a job as a janitor, and his ribs were getting better, so he wanted Hernandez in the ring in the ring. Hernandez laughed and Speared him!

Backstage, Roderick Strong cut a promo saying he had a big opportunity to face Christian Cage tonight, and he wouldn’t waste it, etc.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Angle asked Danielson to be on his Lethal Lockdown team, and Danielson thanked him, but said he honestly just wanted to be washed clean of this Team Canada stuff and start over new.

Match 3: Christian Cage vs Roderick Strong
Christian didn’t take this seriously at all, so Strong beat some sense into with chops and kicks. Christian finally smartened up and kept him at bay with basic pro mat stuff, and he started to go after the arm to neutralize the chops. Strong flew around some to throw him off, and started delivering some stiff kicks. He actually bumped him around some with big backbreakers and suplexes, but Christian got an eye rake that put him back in control. He tried for the Unprettier, but Strong shoved him away AND INTO THE REF~. Strong tried the Strong Backbreaker, but Christian kicked him in the balls! He pulled him up for the Unprettier, BUT CHAD COLLYER RAN OUT! He slid in and pulled Christian off AND HIT THE EVEREST GERMAN! He shook the ref to life, and Strong pulled up Christian! STRONG BACKBREAKER! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: RODERICK STRONG (6:45)

Strong got up and celebrated his big win, as Collyer laughed up the ramp.

A pre-taped Samoa Joe promo played, and he explained his actions in taking out Chris Daniels on Impact. He said that he’s beaten Daniels over and over in the last few months, and if anybody should be TNA Champ, it’s not Daniels, it’s Samoa Joe.

--Commercial Break--

Alex Shelley was in the back, and he walked into Paul London, who had a big grin on his face. He said that he was EXCITED TO FIGHT SHELLEY AT LOCKDOWN~, and then proceeded to put over both Shelley and the X-Division. Shelley shoved him off and hurried away, and London shouted after him that this was going to be fun.

Match 4: Brian Kendrick vs TJ Perkins w/ Kenny King [X-Scape Qualifier]
Kendrick had a lot more confidence here than even a month ago, so he played this as the dominant face. As a result, Perkins had to try to get in cheap shots when he could. He nailed some big elbows that reeled Kendrick some, so the Hooligan worked a headlock to keep him down, and he worked on his arm some. Perkins came back with the same, but when Kendrick started to fly around, Perkins slid to the outside. Kendrick tried for a Plancha, but Perkins moved and Kendrick hit the floor! Perkins climbed back in and came out with a 520 CORKSCREW PLANCHA! FUCK YEAH! Perkins took a victory lap around the ring as it went to a break.

--Commercial Break--

Perkins kept doing super contrived high-flying moves with overblown celebrations afterward. Kendrick made a comeback with his signature stuff and tried the Sliced Bread #2, but Perkins shoved him off and hit a big hurricanrana! He climbed up top and leapt off when Kendrick stood up, but Kendrick wheel kicked him out of midair! Kendrick climbed up top and came off with the SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Brian Kendrick (11:34)

Backstage, Viktor Koslov told Kiyoshi not to mess up the main event.

--Commercial Break--

TJ, Scott, and Kenny were in the back upset, but Kenny said that he had DVRed the new Parks & Recreation for them to watch, so they left happy.

Backstage, Booker T said that he let Chris Daniels have his fun little Impact dedicated to him, and that sure ended well for him. But this week, he takes in the reins, and he has booked Samoa Joe/Homicide vs Christopher Daniels/Jimmy Rave!

Match 5: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs[c] vs Viktor Koslov/Kiyoshi [TNA Tag Team Championships]
Koslov looked really strong here against both Sabin and Jacobs at times, though Kiyoshi has his fair share of stiff strikes and JAP-O-NEEZ no-selling. Still, the champions worked their tag chemistry to mostly dominate, especially in the face of the challengers arguing incessantly. Jacobs eventually got caught up in some double-teaming, but when Koslov and Kiyoshi ran into each other, he made the hot tag! Sabin cleaned house with his high-flying, and then Jacobs topped it off with his Flying Back Senton to Koslov! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall and still TNA Tag Team Champions: Chris Sabin/Jimmy Jacobs (8:20)

Sabin and Jacobs celebrated with heir belts in the ring. Kiyoshi slid in and helped Koslov up, but Koslov shoved Kiyoshi! He shouted at him for being a failure and being worthless and whatever, AND KIYOSHI SLUGGED KOSLOV AND LAID HIM OUT! Cool way to end the show, booker man.

Match 1: James Storm w/ Jackie Moore vs Doug Williams w/ Dave Taylor
Storm started off the match by tossing Williams around, but the Brit threw in enough knees to slow him down. He started to try and pick him apart on the mat, with some help from Taylor on the outside. Williams tried to put in the Britannic Bow and Arrow, but Storm chucked him off and exploded with big strikes. He started to toss Williams around now and try to finish it and, despite a few brief Williams strikes, he mostly dominated. He topped it off with the Eye of the Storm and got the pinfall.
Winner via pinfall: James Storm (5:54)

Storm celebrated in the ring and to the back..

Storm was coming backstage, and Angle approached him and brought up their good tag win at AAO, then asked if he wanted to be on his Lethal Lockdown team. Storm agreed!

Paul London came down to do commentary, clearly high.

Match 2: Alex Shelley w/ Rhino & Love vs Raven [Non-Title]
Shelley took Raven to the mat and clearly was better, but then he started to throw punches in his continuing effort to be better than everyone at everything. Raven came back with his wild punches, and it spilled to the outside! Raven was really in his element now, and he threw Shelley around the floor, and got a Side Russian Legsweep into the barricade! He rolled Shelley in and worked over his back some, but Shelley fought away from a backbreaker and ran through some of his offense. Raven ducked a Superkick and tried the Even Flow, but Shelley countered with the Shellshock! He locked in the Border City Stretch, and Raven had to tap.
Winner via submission: Alex Shelley (4:39)

--Commercial Break--

Footage from last week played of Tomko helping Young defend his TV Title against Morgan.

Match 3: Matt Morgan vs Tyson Tomko w/ Eric Young
Big power vs power stuff, and oh how Tomko has fallen here. Young got involved when he could to help out Tomko, but Morgan came back and hit his Blueprint Crossbody and Hellevator to win.
Winner via pinfall: Matt Morgan (5:58)

Morgan celebrated in the ring, but EY snuck in and attacked! Still, Morgan ended up laying out both guys.

--Commercial Break--

In the back, Christopher Daniels was furious about Joe’s attack last week. Ravarian tried to calm him down, but he said nothing would save him from the embarrassment of last week. Nothing but a win over Joe at Lockdown. He told Rave to come with him to plan for their match, and they left Kaz.

Backstage, Petey Williams asked Robert Roode why he wasn’t on the Team Canada Lethal Lockdown team when Tomko was. Roode said that Tomko won Lethal Lockdown last year, and Petey was pinned in Lethal Lockdown two years, and Team Canada needs a win. Simple as that.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Angle asked Morgan to join his LL team, and Morgan agreed, eager to get at the TV Champion.

Match 4: Low Ki vs Davey Richards w/ Elijah Burke
They had a really heated mat exchange, and Davey got in some good neck work. Low Ki came back with big strikes though, but Davey returned them! They went back and forth with stiff elbows and kicks, and Ki got the better with his striking combinations. He pinballed Richards around now, but Burke tripped Ki up, and he stumbled into a big lariat! Richards worked his best to keep Ki down and really went after the neck, especially to cut off his comebacks. Burke kept getting involved on the floor, so Low Ki took him out with a Tope Con Dropkick! But then Richards ran across and drove him skull-first into the barricade! DDT ON THE OUTSIDE! Richards rolled Low Ki in! ONE … TWO … THRE – Low Ki kicked out! Richards pulled him up and tried a suplex, but Ki blocked it and tried one of his own, but Davey shoved him away and caught him with a big back elbow off the ropes.

Winner via pinfall: Low Ki (7:48)

Low Ki celebrated in the ring, but AJ Styles came out! He laid into Low Ki some, calling him an undercard wrestler for life, but Low Ki got in his face! It got heated, so Booker T came out and booked AJ Styles vs Low Ki at Lockdown, in a cage match!

Storm found Angle backstage and warned him that Morgan is kind of a dick, but Angle said it’s all about beating Team Canada. Storm said the team should go get beers after the show for some camaraderie, and Angle agreed and said that he would bring the painkillers.

--Commercial Break--

--Commercial Break--

Match 5: Christian Cage vs Chad Collyer
This was mostly a big angle with a match mixed in. Christian and Collyer started off in the mat, but Tomko came down to ringside. Morgan came down to take him out, and that brawl happened. Collyer and Cage went back at it, but Dux and Young ran down, drawing out Monty Brown and James Storm. Collyer kept getting distracted and Christian would take advantage, but Collyer continued to survive. Roode ran down and slid into the ring with brass knuckles, but Kurt Angle rushed out and tackled Roode to the ground! The outside brawls spilled into the ring, and Cage and Collyer got involved, so the ref threw it out.
No contest due to interference (7:35)

A huge brawl broke out, and yeah.

Backstage, Elix Skipper walked up to Frankie Kazarian! Kaz said he couldn’t be seen with him, but Skipper went off about how Daniels betrayed him. Kaz went to go walk off, but Skipper stopped him and said he wouldn’t be able to just walk away when they wrestle on Xplosion!

--Commercial Break--

Commentary talked some about the Daniels/Joe feud.

Match 6: Christopher Daniels/Jimmy Rave vs Samoa Joe/Homicide
Daniels wanted at Joe to start, and Joe was very willing. They had a slow start, with Daniels trying to go back to the neck that he had some success with in their singles matches. He kept trying to end it early to prove a point, but Joe blocked it all and had enough confidence to take his time and come back. He bounced him around some, so Daniels finally tagged out. Rave came right in with wild punches, but Joe came back with kicks and elbows! He pinballed Rave around for a bit, and pulled him up for the Muscle Buster, but Rave slid down and rolled to the outside! Joe followed him out to knock him around the floor, but Daniels caught him on the outside around the corner with a clothesline! He kicked at Joe, but Homicide ran over to take him out with a Tope Con Hilo!!!

--Commercial Break--

Homicide was bumping Rave around with big strikes in the ring when we came back. Rave eventually got in a neckbreaker, and pulled him over to his corner. THE WORLD CHAMPION~ got in and was super aggressive with Homicide, working over his neck with much more success than he had with Joe.

Clips played of Daniels kicking Skipper out of the Enlightened two weeks ago.

Match 1: Frankie Kazarian vs Elix Skipper
Skipper jumped him right around with big punches, and took him right to the mat. He worked over his head and neck in aggressive fashion, but Kaz gouged the eyes and tossed him to the floor. Kaz taunted him from in the ring, but Skipper pulled him out and chucked him into the barricade! He pulled him off and hit a BIG belly-to-belly on the floor! Skipper rolled him in and covered for a two-count, and then pulled him up for the Overdrive, but Kaz spun through and countered with a heel kick. He had Skipper down and worked to keep him there, but Skipper eventually came back with some high-flying. He tried his ropewalk hurricanrana, but Kaz ducked away and reversed into the Wave of the Future! ONE … TWO … THREE!

Match 2: Brian Kendrick/Homicide vs TJ Perkins/Scott Lost
Kendrick had a big solo run at the start, but he got isolated after some good heeling and double-teaming by the heels.

In the back, Shelley burst out of his locker room raging while holding pink wrestling boots. Lauren stopped him and asked what the problem was, and he said that somebody washed his favorite white boots with red stuff, and this was NOT okay.

Some hype for Hernandez vs Chuck Taylor played. They billed it as the man who has never lost versus the boy who has never won, and that’s kinda sad.

Match 4: Sean Hernandez vs Chuck Taylor

Winner via pinfall: Sean Hernandez (5:03) (120 – 0)

Sabin and Jacobs came down to watch from ringside.

Match 5: Bailout vs 2 Crazy Negroes [#1 Contendership to TNA Tag Team Championships]
Lethal and Burke had a solid exchange, and Lethal got in some solid arm work. He started flying to really knock him around, but when Burke ducked away from a Flying Axe Handle, Lethal seemed to tweak his ankle. He quickly tagged out to Creed, who took over in bumping Burke around. But Davey got in enough cheap shots to get him off his game, and Burke floored him with a big uppercut. He tried the Bankrupt Bomb, but Creed pulled him back and took them both to the floor with a Cactus Hurricanrana! Davey dove off the apron with a crossbody, but Creed ducked and he hit his partner! Creed climbed back into the ring and dove out to take them both out with a Plancha!

He pulled Davey up, but Davey hit a big discus elbow and chucked Lethal to the floor! Davey turned around into the CreedD – No! Davey shoved him away! He went for a discus elbow, but Creed ducked and got him up on his shoulders! FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER! ONE … TWO … THREE!

Match 1: Monty Brown vs TJ Perkins
Monty hit a Flying Shoulderblock right away and went for the POUNCE~, but Perkins ducked under AND JUMPED ON MONTY AND LOCKED IN A SLEEPER HOLD. It didn’t take long for Monty to throw him off, and then he punished him with big suplexes. Perkins kept trying to roll to the outside, but Monty would pulled him up and chuck him around some more. Perkins tried a kick to the groin, but Monty blocked it and picked him up right into the Alpha Bomb to win.

--Commercial Break--

Commentary talked some about Elix Skipper being kicked out of The Enlightened.

Match 2: Elix Skipper vs Volador
Volador did tons of lucha at the start, but Skipper nailed a big powerbomb and then had much success keeping him grounded. He worked over the ribs in a basic manner, and then got a nice abdominal stretch in. Volador finally arm dragged his way out and started to fly, but Skipper, in his new facedom, flew around as well! Some back-and-forth flippity stuff, and Skipper reversed a hurricanrana into the Overdrive to win.
Winner via pinfall: Elix Skipper (5:13)

Skipper celebrated.

Chris Daniels was backstage, and AJ Styles walked up. He told him that after Lockdown he was coming back for his title belt, but Daniels told him that he’s learned something over the years: don’t underestimate Low Ki.

Robert Roode was in the back with Lauren, and he said that his time to rise to the top in TNA was approaching, and only Kurt Angle was standing in the way.

Backstage, Skipper found Kaz and stopped him from running off. He pointed out that Daniels picked Rave last week as his tag partner, and this week to face Samoa Joe, and maybe Kaz is as expendable as Skipper was.

Match 3: AJ Styles vs Elijah Burke w/ Davey Richards
They mostly went to the mat early on, and Styles’ experience let him mostly lead. Burke began to throw strikes when he could, but Styles met him with chops and kicks of his own. Burke started to get frustrated, so he and Davey began to cheat some, but Styles baseball slid to kick Davey away, and then hit Burke with a Pele Kick from behind! Burke rolled to the outside, and Styles ran off the Fosbury Flop, BUT DAVEY PULLED BURKE AWAY AND AJ HIT THE FLOOR FUCK.

--Commercial Break--

Burke was working over the back from the missed Flop, and he was super aggressive. He eventually got too cocky, but he was controlling AJ Styles, so it’s understandable. Styles started to come back with bits of offense while trying to nurse the back, and he got off the Rack Bomb! ONE … TWO … THRE – Burke kicked out! AJ pulled him up and tried the Styles Clash, but Burke body dropped away. Styles held as his back as he got up, and Burke put him in position for the Bankrupt Bomb! But Styles shoved him away and hit his awesome Discus Clothesline! He hit the Styles Clash and covered, ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: AJ Styles (10:46)

Styles celebrated in the ring, and Low Ki came out! He got in AJ’s face, but cooler heads prevailed.

Collyer and Strong were in the back, and Strong congratulated Collyer on being in Lethal Lockdown again, and Collyer said it really could have been either one of them. Collyer told Strong to win the X-Scape match at Lockdown, and he’d help his team win LL.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Angle cut a promo on Roode. He said he knows he can beat him tonight, and then at Lockdown. He said it doesn’t matter who is Team Canada captain—Christian or Roode—because at Lockdown, he’s coming for Roode.

Match 4: Chad Collyer/Roderick Strong vs Tyson Dux/Petey Williams
Back-and-forth stuff, and Collyer and Strong slowly got back into their groove. Dux kept taking cheap shots at Collyer from the outside, so he finally ran and took him out with a Tope Suicida. While they fought on the outside, Petey tried a Polish Hammer, but Strong ducked and caught him off the ropes with the Strong Backbreaker to win.
Winners via pinfall: Chad Collyer/Roderick Strong (6:22)

Strong celebrated over Petey as Collyer and Dux fought on the floor.

Backstage, Samoa Joe was WALKING~.

--Commercial Break--

Match 5: Samoa Joe vs Jimmy Rave
Rave tried to hit-and-run, and he did at one point work a chinlock, but this was mostly a Joe squash. Kaz came down to cause a distraction, and Rave tried to string together a decent combination, but Joe caught him-mid crossbody and countered into a Samoan Drop. He pulled him up and nailed the Muscle Buster, but when he went to put in the Choke, Kaz slid in and kicked him in the balls.
Winner via disqualification: Samoa Joe (4:17)

Kaz and Rave kept stomping at Joe to keep him down, but Daniels walked out to the stage and told them to stop. As Joe got to his feet, Daniels cut a promo about how the world title had been his lifelong goal, and he wouldn’t be seen as a cheap champion of any sort, and so he didn’t want his followers to attack his challenger. Joe got a mic and insulted Daniels for a bit, calling him a coward and a paper champion, and Daniels was irate. He said that if Joe would have no respect, then neither would he. He turned around so that his back was facing the ring, and he said that he could take no responsibility for what he doesn’t see. As he walked to the back, Ravarian pounced on Joe and started beating him down again! But Joe fought back and laid them both out, and then shouted up the ramp at Daniels.

Matt Morgan was with Lauren and he said that he was going to pin EY tonight and at Lockdown, and then he’d take up his TV Title. But James Storm walked up! He told Morgan they were on the same team until Lockdown, but to remember that he’s not the only one with his sights set on the TV Title.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Bryan Danielson cut a promo about making a path for himself in TNA, and it starting with his X-Scape qualifier on Xplosion, then winning the X-Scape match, then winning the X-Division Championship!

Match 6: Kurt Angle/Matt Morgan/James Storm vs Robert Roode/Eric Young/Tyson Tomko
The faces ran stuff up front, but when Morgan and Storm couldn’t get along, Tomko leveled Storm with a HUGE Falling Lariat that almost made me want to push him again. But I won’t. We’ll be right back!

--Commercial Break--

Storm was being isolated nicely, and Young especially was vicious. He eventually tagged out to Angle, who kicked off his hot tag with the Flying Forearm, and continued on with big suplexes. He called for the end on Young, but Roode made a blind tag! Young got hit with the Olympic Slam, but Roode took Angle out with the Northern Lariat from behind! He was really really aggressive with his beatdown on Angle, getting warnings from the ref numerous times. Roode ignored his partners and was determined to work over Angle himself, so when he was caught in the middle of the ring with a big German Suplex, Angle got a hot tag to Storm! But no, Morgan stole the tag! He cleaned house on everybody with his power stuff, and hit Young with a big running powerslam! ONE … TWO … THRE – Tomko yanked him off! Both guy guys got in each other’s faces, and Tomko exploded with punches. He set Morgan back and tried to pick him up, but Morgan held his weight. He got off his own punches, AND THEN MILITARY PRESSED TOMKO! HE TOSSED HIM DOWN AND WAS SUPER PUMPED. Young rushed in, but Morgan murdered him with a big boot. He yanked him up and hit the Hellevator! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Kurt Angle/Matt Morgan/James Storm (12:00)

A big brawl happened, and in the end James Storm got targeted and his arm was smashed through a chair and stuff. WHAT IS HIS STATUS FOR LOCKDOWN?!

TNA Xplosion
Impact Zone
Orlando, Florida
April 2, 2011

Taz and Nash welcomed everybody to the show, and tonight AJ Styles joined them on commentary! Nash talked about some X-Division matches he put together to get everyone ready for the big X-Scape match at Lockdown. And in the main event, Paul London vs Homicide!

Match 1: Kenny King vs Richie Steamboat [X-Scape Qualifier]
They briefly went to the mat, but Steamboat used his arm drags to throw him off guard. King got pissed and started attacking the arm, leaving him open to some big kicks from Little Richie. King finally caught a roundhouse and hit a big Dragon Screw, and started to work over the leg. Steamboat had to try to come back with chops only, but a well-placed chop to the face was fucking awesome, and started his comeback. He topped it off with the Dragon Suplex, and got the pin.
Winner via pinfall: Richie Steamboat (6:02)

Steamboat celebrated in the ring.

--Commercial Break--

Alex Shelley, Rhino, and Angelina Love were in a car almost to the Impact Zone, and Shelley was pissed. He said that it seems somebody was having some fun with them last week. Someone washed his boots with a red poncho, somebody switched out Love’s clothes with child’s clothes, and somebody made a fake call about Rhino’s son dying, but Rhino doesn’t even have a son. He said that when they get to the Impact Zone, they’d get to the bottom of this.

Match 2: Bryan Danielson vs Sean Waltman [X-Scape Qualifier]
Waltman tried to keep this head and chinlocky, but Danielson would have nothing of it! He brought the kicks, chops, and even a headbutt or two. Waltman kept avoiding the LeBell lock, and he even hit two sidekicks! Waltman doing moves! He hit his leaping clothesline and went up top, but Danielson met him there and hit a Superplex! He climbed back up and hit the Flying Headbutt! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Bryan Danielson (5:34)

Danielson celebrated in the ring.

--Commercial Break--

Backstage, Foley cut a promo on Hernandez about how every time he complains and disrespects a GM or a janitor, he disrespects decades of industry history. He went on, and eventually challenged Hernandez to a cage match at Lockdown.

Shelley & Co arrived to the Impact Zone, but the normal entrance door was locked, so they went to go find another way in.

Lethal went to Sabin and said that he wants a respectful match, but he warned they he and Creed will do anything--ANYTHING--to win back the tag team titles. Sabin laughed, and told Lethal to watch Jacobs in action later tonight to see what they’re dealing with.

--Commercial Break--

Hernandez went to Booker’s office and said he accepted Foley’s challenge.

Match 3: Jimmy Jacobs vs Consequences Creed
Creed brought the jabs, Jacobs brought everything else. Jimbo flipped out of the CreedDT and turned it into the Detroit Code to win.
Winner via pinfall: Jimmy Jacob (6:02)

Jacobs and Creed shook hands.

--Commercial Break--

Footage of Roderick pinning Petey in a tag match on Impact played.

Match 4: Petey Williams vs Roderick Strong
Petey was really mad about being pinned on Impact, so he was really aggressive. He used his size and power to really bump Strong around, but he got in hits when he could. They really built up to Strong knocking him down, and he finally did it by debuting the Sick Kick! He pulled him up for the Strong Backbreaker, but Petey elbowed away and rolled to the outside. Strong followed up with a Suicide Dive, but Petey moved AND STRONG HIT THE BARRIACDE! Petey quickly rolled him in! ONE … TWO … THRE – Strong kicked out! Petey pulled him up and tried the Border’s Edge, but Strong slid down. He tried a German Suplex, but he was still reeled by hitting the barricade and he couldn’t get it off before Petey elbowed away. Strong staggered in the middle of the ring, and Petey ran off the ropes and hit him with the POLISH HAMMER~! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Petey Williams (6:13)

Petey celebrated, and Nash stood up at the booth and said that Petey just earned a spot in the X-Scape match since he pinned somebody who already qualified. Nash also announced that Danielson got lucky earlier, and he booked Danielson vs London on Impact.

Shelley, Rhino, and Love were still trying to get in the building.

--Commercial Break--

Footage from Impact played of Team Canada taking out James Storm, putting his status for Lethal Lockdown in the air. Commentary said there would be an update on Impact.

Match 5: Kiyoshi/Volador vs Brutus Magnus/Patrick Schulz
Kiyoshi brought the hatred to both Axis members, and he really dominated both of them. Volador came in to clean up with his lucha, but Magnus tripped him up on the floor and he stumbled into a big shoulder block from Schulz. They beat down Volador for a bit, but he managed to counter a Schulz powerbomb into a big hurricanrana, and tagged out to Kiyoshi! He cleaned house cleanly, and topped it off with a Lightning Kick to Schulz! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winners via pinfall: Kiyoshi/Volador (5:22)

Kiyoshi celebrated in the ring. Magnus and Schulz attacked, but Kiyoshi turned it around on them and sent them packing.

Shelley still couldn’t find a way for he and his posse to get in. But he pulled up his gym bag an said at least he still has his X-Division Champio – WHAT! NO! IT’S A FAKE! Shelley flipped a shit on the outside and started banging on all the doors.

--Commercial Break--

Paul London came out for the main event, AND HE HAD THE REAL X-DIVISION TITLE WITH HIM! Nash was flipping a shit at the booth.

Match 6: Paul London vs Homicide
London did a lot of flippity shit and just jumping around, and then posed with the X-Division title when he could. He clearly didn’t take this very seriously, and mostly avoided Homicide’s offense when he could, but ‘Cide hit some big punches to ground him. He started to work over his head and neck, but London fought him off with elbows and connected with a back suplex! He started to come back with dropkicks and flying elbows, but Homicide ducked one and London bumped to the outside! Homicide followed him out and tried to roll him in, but London held his weight, and arm dragged him away on the floor. He sprinted to the ring and did his 2005 Velocity thing of sliding through the ring, and he grabbed the X-Division title from ringside. He strapped it around his waist and celebrated on the announce booth to go to a break, and it went to a break as Nash shouted at him.

--Commercial Break--

This went fairly back-and-forth, but London kept doing offense like nerve holds, a stinkface, a three point stance clothesline. HOOO. Homicide kept getting pissed off, and when London went to do the Worm, Homicide exploded with big elbows. He beat London around now and was super aggressive, but London threw him away during a 187, and caught him off the ropes with a Superkick! ONE … TWO … THRE – Homicide kicked out! London pulled him up and tried the Waffle Face, but Homicide blocked and it hit a big back elbow and connected with a jawbreaker. He lined up and tried another 187, but London latched his arm over and dropped him with a Reverse DDT! He climbed up top, but Homicide crotched him there and met him with big elbows at the top. They traded blows at the top, and London got some big punches, THEN A BIONIC ELBOW! He kicked him off! SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ONE … TWO … THREE!
Winner via pinfall: Paul London (12:55)

London celebrated in the ring, and then strapped on the title while laughing. Nash stood up at the booth and demanded that London give back the title, and London said that he would. Next week. He returned to the back with the belt, laughing.

Commentary talked about that, and also hyped up the X-Scape match, and everybody now in it. They talked about Lethal Lockdown some, and then the camera cut backstage.

London was leaving the building with the X-Division Title, but as soon as he exited the arena, SHELLEY LEVELED HIM! He stomped the shit out of him, and Rhino joined him! Shelley was shouting that London is a horrible son of a bitch and had no respect for the X-Division title! He tossed him over and over into the concrete side of the building, and then he chucked him into a parked car! London was clearly hurt, AND THEN RHINO GORED HIM AND HE FLEW INTO THE CAR! SHIT! Shelley grabbed his title belt and held it up to London’s face and asked how he liked the belt now. Rhino helped pull him up, AND THEN SHELLEY POWERBOMB HIM ONTO THE HOOD OF THE CAR!!! FUCK!! Shelley was breathing really heavily, but when EMTs ran out to help London, Rhino pulled Shelley off and they escaped with Angelina Love to leave the arena. Shelley continued to scream like a mad man about his belt as professionals attended to Paul London.
