Impact Week 1 January 2012
SHOWTIME:
Recap package of Kurt Angle ripping into TNA and saying he's going to take this title wherever the hell he wants and defend it against whoever the hell he wants cause he's still not under contract. Sting comes out, calls out Kurt Angle, but there's no response. He boldly proclaims he'll just vacate the title again... it's TOURNAMENT TIME!-- but Jeff Jarrett and VC "Cliff" Compton come out and say that because Kurt Angle's not employed, any title stripping isn't actually legally binding, and since it was just vacated that's not a good business move anyway. Sting nods, laughs madly and shouts for Angle some more! (91)
Mr. Anderson is backstage looking annoyed... Glacier appears! He explains to Anderson that he has nothing to do due to Morgan retreating like a coward, and observes that Anderson himself doesn't have much to do, and directs him to a flyer on the wall that says there's a #1 contender's match for the tag titles open. Anderson waves him off, but Glacier sells him some pitch about the both of them being lethal weapons, their look being similar, and etc etc... and to just picture the name... "The Iceholes." Anderson smiles with that and takes him up on it. (56)
Motor City Machine Guns are in the ring awaiting an opponent, and out come Glacier and Mr. Anderson! They put up a good fight, and clearly have some chemistry (great chemistry, in fact!), but they just don't have the experience of the MCMG. MCMG d. The Iceholes (74)
AJ Styles is backstage, and VC "Cliff" Compton approaches him, telling him he's been served! AJ doesn't know what the hell this is about, and Jeff Jarrett rips into him saying he's going to pay personally for damaging TNA's image by losing to a guy who doesn't work
there in Kurt Angle like that (62) Beer Money d. The Way of the Samurai (77)
Austin Aries hits the ring and explains to the audience that with the World Title in turmoil, he now has the most prestigious singles title in TNA today, and to get some real competition and solidify his title's status as the #1 title in TNA, he's dropping the weight limits on his belt. He calls out RVD and says since he won a title shot last night, he can come get some from A Double tonight. RVD accepts the challenge! (80)
Robbie E d. Shannon Moore by dq to retain when Eric Young runs in and attacks him during the match and Big Stevie Ray sorta just does a visible "ouch" as the attack goes down rather than helping. After the match Shannon and Eric brawl while Robbie E yells at Stevie Ray who sorta just shrugs. (45)
Ultramantis Black is out to call AJ Styles again-- no matter his lawsuit problems this isn't over! His promo is interrupted by... Val Venus!?! Val says that he and Daniels still have some unfinished business from a year ago... now it's time to pay! Ultramantis Black is livid, again! (55) Ultramantis Black d. Val Venus, and visibly contemplates something after the match. (63)
RVD d. Austin Aries by DQ when Jeff Hardy randomly beats down RVD. (82) Jeff Hardy demands a world title shot from Sting, since he earned one. Sting's like "you want a title shot!?!?!" and snaps! He attacks and shouts loudly for a referee as he is. (67) Sting d. Jeff Hardy in a backstage brawl (92) Sting shouts for "Angle!!" some more to close to show out (90)
80 -- Success!! lol angles. Ultramantis Black overused. Expected higher than this with that main event-- guess I killed the crowd or something.
Booker notez:
Glacier continues to be the master of chemistry, as he and Anderson have great tag chemistry. Great suggestion, War! Running with this.
Robbie E is now at 28 over! UMB trails at 23.
eddv's stuff hasn't been set in motion yet cause I've had this show booked for weeks I've just been busy/waiting for Tom
