of iMPACT! opens inside the Impact Zone at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL.
- We see Christian Cage counting down the New Year as pyro goes off behind him.
Don West welcomes us to the show and mentions that America's Most Wanted will
defend the NWA World Tag Team Titles against AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels
tonight.
- Mike Tenay is in the ring with Christian Cage. He mentions that there is a
party atmosphere inside the Impact Zone as confetti falls on the crowd. Tenay
also mentions how this is the first iMPACT! of 2006 and said this is the moment
every TNA fan has been waiting for. He said TNA management promised that the
face of TNA would change in 2006. Tenay introduced the newest member to the TNA
roster...a man called STING. The crowd cheers loudly. Christian Cage gets on the
mic and said that is huge. He said it isn't like him to one-up somebody, but he
is going to do it. Christian said the main event for Final Resolution has been
signed. It will be Jeff Jarrett & Monty Brown vs. Christian Cage and...Sting.
Jeff Jarrett's music hits and he makes his way out onto the heel ramp. Jarrett
gets on the mic and says it looks like the battle lines have been drawn and that
the main event has been set for January 15. He said the war will be won because
he will be victorious with The Alpha Male. Jarrett said as far as tonight goes,
he said he notices how Christian likes to throw out little pop culture
references and get the fans to jump on the Captain Charisma bandwagon. He said
the only reason Christian does that is because he knows he will never climb to
the top of the mountain because he doesn't have what it takes to become the NWA
World Heavyweight Champion. Jarrett said that is how he rolls. Christian
congratulates Jarrett for showing he had some life. He said he noticed Jarrett
isn't coming out wearing his famous white pants and that between here and the
backstage area, he decided to grow a pair of nuts. Christian said he is sick and
tired of verbally abusing Jarrett. He said he wants to take advantage of his
first New Year's Resolution in physically abusing Jarrett. Christian calls
Jarrett "Slapnuts" and Jarrett runs down the ramp and hits the ring.
Christian and Jarrett start trading blows. Jarrett attempts The Stroke,
Christian counters and attempts The Unprettier. Monty Brown hits the ring and
starts attacking Christian. Rhino hits the ring and he goes after Jarrett.
America's Most Wanted both hit the ring. Chris Harris helps Monty Brown take out
Christian, while James Storm helps Jarrett take out Rhino. Team 3D then hit the
ring and they even up the odds as we go to our first commercial break.
