iMPACT! Zone
Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Presents iMPACT!
After highlighting last week's events, including the huge announcement of Robert Roode vs. Awesome Kong tonight, and the Tag Team Titles changing hands to Christian and Tomko. Video ends, and shows the Title of the night:
"What Joe Wants, Joe Gets!"
Usual pyro goes off, and the fans ready for the show, and just like last week, Sting starts off the show. His theme hits, and he comes out with the bat in hand, and fans really behind him as always. Sting climbs into the six sided ring, and points his bat to all the fans. Sting then grabs the microphone.
Sting:: Last week, I came to this ring, and I told Mother James Mitchell that since he waned to take Abyss out, and since he wanted to do unhanding things, then lets see him try to do that with me! Lets see him and his bafoons attack some me and my new army from behind! I'm pretty sure than not even James Mitchell is that dumb to do something that risky. And incase some of you forgot just who my guys are, let me re-introduce you guys to The War Machine, Rhino! And Raven!
Rhino's theme hits, and he comes running down to the ring, and then Raven comes out to his theme. They climb into the ring, and all three have a face-2-face, but then all grin showing they are on the same page.
Sting:: So James Mitchell, bring out Judas, bring out RelliK, and bring out Black Reign, because we are ready for you guys! We want some of you, and we're going to get some of you!
The three wait in the ring for James, but nothing happens. Sting looks to the fans and says lets go and get them! They begin to leave the ring, but Jim Cornette is seen now coming to the ring with a mic already in his hand.
Cornette:: Hold on there Stinger, I have to stop you three before all hell breaks lose! Now as much as I want someone to beat the hell out of Count Dracula (James Mitchell) I have to stop it. Because I have something better for you three. I thought it long and hard, and I came up to the concludsion that how about this: At Destination X, we have you Sting, you Raven, and yes you Rhino go into a war against RelliK, Black Reign.....and Judas Mesias! *fans go nuts* I know that might be too long to wait, but your going to have to wait. And about James Mitchell, I'm quite sick and tired of seeing him interfere in his Monster's matches, so that's why at the PPV he will be banned...
Sting:: Hold on there Jimmy, now I have to stop you there. I'm glad you made the match, but I'm not glad you are about to ban James from ringside, because I have a better idea. I knew coming back, I needed someone to take care of James Mitchell. I knew I needed someone just as evil, just as bad, just as mean, and that is why I called up an old dancing partner of mine that I faced before. Someone I know could scare you by just his voice....
Just then James Mitchell comes walking out on the top of the stage, with a mic in his hand.
James:: Oh how dumb can you get Sting?! Last week you bring those washed up Extreme Rejects expecting me and my monsters to be scared? And now you say you have someone to scare me? Well I highly doubt that Stinger, I really do. Nobody can scare me, not even Satan himself.
Sting:: Well James Mitchell, it doesn't hurt to try, because meet him!
Some dark music begins to play, and out from the opposite entrance way come none other than......Jake "The Snake" Roberts! Jake is carrying his bag, with of course his pet Snake inside! Fans are going crazy, and Jake was a sadistic smirk on his face. James Mtchell is stunned, and looks like he's seen a ghost. Jake walks down to the ring, but instead of climbing in, he walks around the ring, and heads up the ramp to James Mitchell! He just runs to the back as if he is scared, and Jake just laughs as he enters the ring. He looks at Raven, and shakes his hand, he looks at Rhino, and shakes his hand. He then looks at Stinger, and shakes his hand. Fans begin to chant "DDT" as Jake pulls the Snake out fo hsi bag, and puts it down on the mat as if he's drawing the line in the sand!

Homicide makes another cover, but a two again. Jackie Moore is seen trying to get involved as she pulls Homicide's foot. Salinas then runs around the ring and takes Jackie down! Its a cat fight on the outside of the ring, and Homicide is distracted for a moment by this. When he turns back to focus, James Storm runs at him with a Super Kick, but Homicide ducks it, and goes for the Gringo Cutter, however Storm reverses it by dropping Homicide on his back! Storm backs up a little, and charges at Homicide, resulting in kicking him in his mid section while he's doen. Storm continues to do this multiple times.

Both men get up quickly, and run at each other and knock each down as they were looking for the same move, clothesline. Both men are down till about the 7 count, which is when Homicide begins getting up. He has a noticable limp, and he tries getting up to the top of the turnbuckle, and does! Storm is getting on all fours, and barely up to his feet. Homicide jumps off the top rope, and Storm is standing up now, and when Homicide is in mid-air, just about to hit the mat, Storm connects with a Super Kick!! Storm then covers Homicide, 1...2...Kick out! Storm is shocked, and cant't believe Homicide just kicked out! He really gets angry now, and when Storm gets to his feet, he picks Homicide up, and nails a Suplex on Homicide. Storm then continues to work on that possibly injured leg. James starts to pull off his knee pad, and just hits his knee and then wraps Homicide's knee over his(Storm) head. Storm stands up in that position, and swings Homicide around, and drops him knee first onto the canvas!! Storm turns Homicide over, and locks him in the Texas Cloverleaf! Homicide is in so much pain, trying to reach the ropes, he's inches away, but Storm pulls him back in the center of the ring. Homicide can't bare the pain any longer, and is forced to tap out! James Storm stands up, and gets his hand raised in victory. James Storm smirks, and then demands his beer back from Salinas. She looks to be handing his beer back to him, but instead spits it into his face1 James whipes the beer off his face, and goes to grab her but Hernandez comes running down, and he clears the ring, with Storm running off. Hernandez checks up on Homicide, and Storm walks up the ramp.

Kurt and Karen Angle are in their locker room, both mad at each other, and especially AJ for losing the match last week. Just then AJ walks in, and Kurt slaps him across the face!
Kurt:: Where the hell have you been, and how the hell could you lose last week? I'm starting to think you and Karen are here to sabotage me! I'm the TNA World Champion, and I should be the TNA Tag team Champion also. But thanks to Forrest Gump here, that didn't happen. Look here AJ, you better get your mind on two things. Two very important things.
AJ still holds his face, but is also looking at Karen's very revealing cleavage.
AJ:: Trust me, I AM!
Kurt:: Not those you idiot! Karen, put on a coat or something, you disgust me! AJ, get focused now, because your lucky to still be in the Angle Alliance.

You get ypur mind on two things AJ....Makign sure I walk out of Destination X the TNA Champion, and making sure you regain yourself as the Prince of Phenomenal! You got that?

Robert Roode and Awesome Kong to square off, Jim Cornette gives Robert Roode what he's been wanting after all of these attacks to women, but Robert Roode just might have wanted his resignation instead of this. And Matt Morgan.....
Matt Morgan:: What about Matt Morgan?! Don't talk about mr when I'm not in the same area, got that?! Samoa Joe.....you wanted a fight, well for the first time your actually getting something that you should have never asked for in the first place! And it doesn't even matter if you bring Big Daddy Cool down to the ring with you, because he won't even be able to walk inside the ring without breaking something!

END OF SHOW
iMPACT! Zone
Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Presents iMPACT!
After highlighting last week's events, including the huge announcement of Robert Roode vs. Awesome Kong tonight, and the Tag Team Titles changing hands to Christian and Tomko. Video ends, and shows the Title of the night:
"What Joe Wants, Joe Gets!"
Usual pyro goes off, and the fans ready for the show, and just like last week, Sting starts off the show. His theme hits, and he comes out with the bat in hand, and fans really behind him as always. Sting climbs into the six sided ring, and points his bat to all the fans. Sting then grabs the microphone.
Sting:: Last week, I came to this ring, and I told Mother James Mitchell that since he waned to take Abyss out, and since he wanted to do unhanding things, then lets see him try to do that with me! Lets see him and his bafoons attack some me and my new army from behind! I'm pretty sure than not even James Mitchell is that dumb to do something that risky. And incase some of you forgot just who my guys are, let me re-introduce you guys to The War Machine, Rhino! And Raven!
Rhino's theme hits, and he comes running down to the ring, and then Raven comes out to his theme. They climb into the ring, and all three have a face-2-face, but then all grin showing they are on the same page.
Sting:: So James Mitchell, bring out Judas, bring out RelliK, and bring out Black Reign, because we are ready for you guys! We want some of you, and we're going to get some of you!
The three wait in the ring for James, but nothing happens. Sting looks to the fans and says lets go and get them! They begin to leave the ring, but Jim Cornette is seen now coming to the ring with a mic already in his hand.
Cornette:: Hold on there Stinger, I have to stop you three before all hell breaks lose! Now as much as I want someone to beat the hell out of Count Dracula (James Mitchell) I have to stop it. Because I have something better for you three. I thought it long and hard, and I came up to the concludsion that how about this: At Destination X, we have you Sting, you Raven, and yes you Rhino go into a war against RelliK, Black Reign.....and Judas Mesias! *fans go nuts* I know that might be too long to wait, but your going to have to wait. And about James Mitchell, I'm quite sick and tired of seeing him interfere in his Monster's matches, so that's why at the PPV he will be banned...
Sting:: Hold on there Jimmy, now I have to stop you there. I'm glad you made the match, but I'm not glad you are about to ban James from ringside, because I have a better idea. I knew coming back, I needed someone to take care of James Mitchell. I knew I needed someone just as evil, just as bad, just as mean, and that is why I called up an old dancing partner of mine that I faced before. Someone I know could scare you by just his voice....
Just then James Mitchell comes walking out on the top of the stage, with a mic in his hand.
James:: Oh how dumb can you get Sting?! Last week you bring those washed up Extreme Rejects expecting me and my monsters to be scared? And now you say you have someone to scare me? Well I highly doubt that Stinger, I really do. Nobody can scare me, not even Satan himself.
Sting:: Well James Mitchell, it doesn't hurt to try, because meet him!
Some dark music begins to play, and out from the opposite entrance way come none other than......Jake "The Snake" Roberts! Jake is carrying his bag, with of course his pet Snake inside! Fans are going crazy, and Jake was a sadistic smirk on his face. James Mtchell is stunned, and looks like he's seen a ghost. Jake walks down to the ring, but instead of climbing in, he walks around the ring, and heads up the ramp to James Mitchell! He just runs to the back as if he is scared, and Jake just laughs as he enters the ring. He looks at Raven, and shakes his hand, he looks at Rhino, and shakes his hand. He then looks at Stinger, and shakes his hand. Fans begin to chant "DDT" as Jake pulls the Snake out fo hsi bag, and puts it down on the mat as if he's drawing the line in the sand!
------------Commercial------------
iMPACT! returns, and Tenay and West discuss the shocking event that just happened, with Jake Roberts making a suprising debut here in TNA! Mike and Don also bring up Destination X, and hwo it is looking to be a solid PPV. They run down the Card.

Storm is getting on all fours, and barely up to his feet. Homicide jumps off the top rope, and Storm is standing up now, and when Homicide is in mid-air, just about to hit the mat, Storm connects with a Super Kick!! Storm then covers Homicide, 1...2...Kick out! Storm is shocked, and cant't believe Homicide just kicked out! He really gets angry now, and when Storm gets to his feet, he picks Homicide up, and nails a Suplex on Homicide. Storm then continues to work on that possibly injured leg. James starts to pull off his knee pad, and just hits his knee and then wraps Homicide's knee over his(Storm) head. Storm stands up in that position, and swings Homicide around, and drops him knee first onto the canvas!! Storm turns Homicide over, and locks him in the Texas Cloverleaf! Homicide is in so much pain, trying to reach the ropes, he's inches away, but Storm pulls him back in the center of the ring. Homicide can't bare the pain any longer, and is forced to tap out! James Storm stands up, and gets his hand raised in victory. James Storm smirks, and then demands his beer back from Salinas. She looks to be handing his beer back to him, but instead spits it into his face1 James whipes the beer off his face, and goes to grab her but Hernandez comes running down, and he clears the ring, with Storm running off. Hernandez checks up on Homicide, and Storm walks up the ramp.

I'm the TNA World Champion, and I should be the TNA Tag team Champion also. But thanks to Forrest Gump here, that didn't happen. Look here AJ, you better get your mind on two things.

Samoa Joe.....you wanted a fight, well for the first time your actually getting something that you should have never asked for in the first place!

Cornette:: What can that be Joe? I've given you a World Title Match in any Match you wanted, I'm giving you a five year contract, including 15% more than Kurt Angle for each year you are here with TNA, and to top it all off Joe, I'm giving you a match against Matt Morgan, my Enforcer! What do you want, huh?! What is it?! Because right now I'm starting to think you really aren't worth all this much hassle.
Joe:: Look here, one more thing added Jimmy, and it's not even that big of a deal.....my match vs. Matt Morgan, make it for the final spot in the T.V. Title Tournament! Because at Destination X I'm walking out the Television Champion, and the TNA World Champion, you got that? Now are you going to make that happen?
Kevin:: I think you better Jimbo, because I just got off the phone with Vinnie Mac, and he'll sign Joe right after this show if he has to.

Cornette:: ....Fine! Fine, you got the stipulation, now just get the hell outta my office, because your match is next!
