I'm bored so Impact Week 2 December
SHOWTIME:
We open the show with Sting in the ring going over the progress of the TNA team challenge, complete with cheap Ultimate Warrior infested graphic. Bobby Roode comes out and says he wants his match tonight. Sting gives it to him, but says James Storm is banned from ringside! (88)
Winter d. Hamada to retain (70) (poor chemistry-- yet still a 70 I'm impressed) Jeff Hardy says that Kendrick is his official disciple... he shall do recruitment battles for the team now. While they're talking, there's a clap of thunder and a flash of light, X-Pac staggers out from the backstage area, looking bewildered, wearing an nWo t-shirt (while the announcers argue about whether he can wear that on TNA). He shouts "Nash? Punk? Where the hell am I?" and Jeff orders Kendrick to fight him or Jeff will throw the team match. Kendrick goes at him (69) Kendrick d. X-Pac to recruit him. (58)
AJ Styles is in the ring getting ready for his match. But that's not Bobby Roode's music! The devious UltraMantis Black comes out, shouting nonsense about "The Order" and how he has come from parts unknown to destroy AJ Styles and TNA once and for all! AJ Styles shakes his head and says that Daniels doesn't need to dress in this absurd getup to get another match with him. Ultramantis Black is appalled and starts to explain that he's not Daniels and is far greater than Daniels ever was! He begins to go into a diatribe about his feats but is escorted out by security due to Daniels no longer being employed by TNA, arguing about his identity and shouting stuff like "you'll pay for this!" the whole while. (72) AJ Styles d. Bobby Roode to retain. but is worse for wear afterwards (76)
Before AJ gets out of the ring, Mr. Anderson says he's choosing to face AJ Styles for his team recruitment battle tonight. Sting comes out and says he can't do that but Anderson explains that Sting said last week that they can challenge whoever they want. Styles staggers to his feet, says he'll beat his ass, and even put up his title, and shouts "come get some, Anderson!" (88) Styles keeps it surprisingly competitive as Anderson works Styles's injured ribs throughout the match. Anderson has victory in his grasp several times but keeps letting AJ recover, seemingly enjoying the pain Styles is in. AJ wins with a small package. (70) After the match, you guessed it, Angle and Joe beat down Styles again. Sting tries to stop them and is also beaten down! (86)
Austin Aries d. Shannon Moore to retain, seemingly bored (65) RVD and Robbie E are walking backstage. RVD says to himself he's gotta do something desperate to make up for this and gives Robbie E a look. He enters Sting's office and tells Sting he's going to challenge Jeff Hardy for the team battle tonight. Sting who clearly isn't paying attention grants his request and waves him off. Robbie E rubs his chin, and then requests that he be the new TV champion due to Eric Young abandoning it for over a month-- Sting grants his request and waves harder, holding his head. Robbie E fist pumps and gloats to RVD about his title. (60)
After the break, back in Sting's office Jarrett and VC Compton are droning about finance, Dinero rushes in, groggy, and shouts he needs a match now and Sting says now that Jarrett is employed again he can fight him-- now everybody get out! (73)
The Pope d. Jeff Jarrett to recruit him to his team. (68) RVD d. Jeff Hardy to recruit him to his team... but Jeff Hardy already has a team so the announcers are all like "what does this mean!?" as the show ends. (80)
73 - Success!
