TNA Impact Wrestling *Spoilers* April 5th Show

[Troy]

*Matt Morgan vs. Crimson goes to a no contest when both brawl out of the Impact Zone and into the back.

*TNA champion Bobby Roode, surrounded by security comes out and cuts a promo on Dixie Carter, Sting and James Storm. Storm comes down and promises he will beat Roode for the TNA title. He goes after Roode but security stops him. Bully Ray attacks Storm from behind and lays him out. A handicap match is announced.

*Velvet Sky defeated Madison Rayne.

*TNA X-Division champ Austin Aries comes out and is angry about Bully Ray attacking the X-Division talents. He announces he will team with Storm in the main event.

*Ken Anderson defeated Jeff Hardy with the Mic Check after Kurt Angle interfered.

*Eric Bischoff cuts a promo and calls out his son. Bischoff gives Garett one last chance to walk away from wrestling. Garett shoves him down and says he will be at Lockdown and will wrestle Gunner.

*James Storm and X-Division champion Austin Aries defeated Bully Ray and TNA champion Bobby Roode when Roode accidentally spit beer in Ray's face, allowing Storm to nail the Last Call.
*They close the episode with Dixie Carter asking Hulk Hogan to take the job running Impact. Hogan declines but Sting and the roster come out to change his mind. Hogan finally accepts.

Really? Really? Really? Hogan is in charge of Impact again! Seriously why are they going back to the same storyline again. Hogan's face turn back when Sting won the GM rights was a joke and I can't believe that Hogan will be back in charge. I love how Hogan got his ego stroked as well by having Sting and the entire roster come out to convince him to do it.

Aries getting involved in big matches like this is really good. Nice to see him rewarded with a bigger spot than just being the X Division champion, helps the title as well.

Gunner vs. Bischoff at PPV I don't care for and it is obvious after the finish at the last PPV that we will see Angle vs. Hardy again.

UGH! Why exactly is Sting no longer interested in the GM spot? Did he lose it against Roode or is he going back to being a full time competitor. Plz no to the second one. He should be doing what the Rock is and that is bare minimum.

Besides Hogan as GM and how he accepts to do it the show looks ok. Aries getting a push? yes please. Storm continues to look strong heading into Lockdown. I cannot wait for that match tbh. Think I might even head to my local theater and see it there. Hardy v. Angle I can stand for another month, but Bischoff? Really? Ugh! Is all I'll say.

 

[Troy]

Pretty sure that Sting gave the position up to wrestle full time again. I don't know why TNA don't use him as a special attraction more, like what WWE do with the Undertaker, just wheel him out for four big PPV matches a year and don't worry about the rest of the time.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Shows look OK. I'm even fine with the Hogan thing if he stays in a GM role similar to Long on SD. A couple backstage segments and a angle here or there is fine. Garrett-Gunner is a boring filler match for Lockdown though.

 

[Troy]

But didn't Hogan only a few months back try to take the company away from Dixie? He tried to destroy the company in the storyline yet now she is begging him to come back and that logic doesn't work for me.

TNA is the cure for insomina

 

[Smartmark]

Guess Kim will defend her title against Sky, since both Mickie and Madison went short
