This week's show opens up with Abyss showing off
Hogan's Hall of Fame ring to the locker room. He says that he can feel the power
from the ring and he says he thought last week was going to be the worst day
ever, but it ended up being his best day ever. A recap from last week is then
shown followed by the Impact intro.
As the show starts Tenay and Taz run down the card for tonight which will
feature Desmond Wolfe one-on-one with Abyss and Rob Terry defended his Global
Title against Mr. Anderson.
AJ Style's music hits and the TNA Champion makes his way down to the ring
alongside Ric Flair but minus the 'high priced hookers' this week. They show
footage of the beat down put on Pope last week during their entrance and Taz
gives us an update on Pope's condition. He says Pope has partially torn
ligaments in the ankle and he's lucky to be able to walk. AJ grabs a microphone
and says last week Pope came out in the 'house that AJ Styles built' and tried
to make it his own temple. He says Pope claimed he was the champion of the
people and says that's 'real cute' and Pope wants to be the golden boy in TNA.
He says that's not going to happen. He says he gets it that Pope is a man but AJ
says that he is THE man which earns a big "WOOOO!" from Ric (who has his own
microphone). AJ says like Flair always said if you want to be the man you have
to beat the man and AJ is the man in TNA. Another "WOO" from Nature Boy on that
one. AJ says the next time Pope thinks about coming out and walking all over AJ
he better think again. AJ says Pope won't be walking for a long, long time now.
Flair says last week something transpired that has him going crazy and that's
Hogan giving away his Hall of Fame ring to Abyss. Flair says that's like giving
it away to one of the fans and then he points out someone in the crowd and says
"could you imagine, fat boy, it'd be like you wearing this" while showing his
Hall of Fame ring. Flair says Hogan has his own Hall of Fame but to take that
ring and give it to that 'challenged person' (he said it, not me) is ridiculous.
Flair says Hogan will never be him and then he calls out Abyss who comes out to
Hogan's "American Made" theme (sounds like the actual song). Flair asks Abyss
what in the hell he's doing come out to that music and calls Abyss pathetic. He
says the thought of Abyss being in the Hall of Fame disgraces it. He says
looking at Abyss makes him want to puke and he makes all wrestlers look bad.
Flair tells Abyss not to look away from him and he says Abyss may have
superhuman strength, but he will never be a Hall of Famer. Flair says he worked
his whole life to be in the Hall of Fame and this all makes him sick. He says
Abyss makes him sick. Flair says the only thing Abyss will ever be good for is
shining AJ's boots. He calls Abyss a clown repeatedly. Abyss says Flair is right
and that he couldn't shine AJ's shoes but that's because he's not shoe shine
boy, but he'd be more than happy to remove AJ's boots and stick them up Flair's
a**! Flair is livid! Flair screams at Abyss asking him if he knows who he is and
he tells Abyss that he is a God in Abyss' life. AJ tries to calm Flair down and
tells Abyss to shut up! AJ calls Abyss a pathetic piece of crap and asks him if
he really thinks the people came to see him. AJ says they came to see the World
Heavyweight Champion and Abyss is a disgrace to the business. AJ tells Abyss to
look at how he dresses, like a bum, and then points to himself and tells Abyss
to see how he and Flair dress, like a champ. AJ says he bets under his mask
Abyss probably looks like a foot that kicked a bag of hot nickels (oh boy AJ
took it really old school southern on that one)! AJ says Abyss is an ugly 6'8"
piece of crap disgrace. He tells Abyss to do everybody a favor and take that
Hall of Fame ring off, and then Flair cuts him off and tells Abyss to give it to
AJ! AJ tells Abyss to take it off before he disgraces Hogan's name any further!
Abyss then points at AJ and does Hogan's "YOU!" taunt. Hogan's music hits and he
makes his way out to the ring. Hogan asks AJ what he knows about having a good
name. He says just because AJ walks around TNA kissing Flair's butt and creating
all the sins of mankind just like Flair did, he thinks that gives him a good
name. Hogan says coming out here and running Abyss down only makes him weak.
Hogan says standing in the ring there may be a few guys that will go down in
history, but asks AJ if he wants it to be in the history book that AJ was the
weakest Champion of all time. Flair interrupts him and says as God as his
witness he knew this would happen sooner than later. Flair says he came to TNA
because everything Hogan touches turns to gold, but one thing won't happen is
Hogan will never tell him what to do! Hogan tells Flair to back his a** up!
Flair asks Hogan what in the hell he's doing giving his ring to Abyss. The fans
chant "Hogan's" name and then AJ and Flair take their jackets off getting ready
for a fight! Flair screams "let's do it right now" and Abyss and Hogan drop
their microphones! Before anything goes down AJ and Flair decide to walk out of
the ring and walk out talking trash to the fans on the way to the ramp. Flair
grabs a mic and says that since he and AJ are in a good mood it's bought Hogan
some time. Flair says before the night is over the ring will be on AJ's finger.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials Foley is arriving into the Impact Zone and Taz says that
Foley is none too happy about what happened last week. Tenay and Taz then run
down the card for tonight again
Tables Match
Nasty Boys w/Jimmy Hart vs. Team 3D
Footage of the Nasty Boys and 3D's horrendous match at Against All Odds is shown
with Jimmy Hart making his return (he formerly was the manager of The Naturals
if you don't remember) screwing over 3D. The Nasty's meet 3D on the ramp and the
fight is on! Bubba throws Knobbs into the ring steps while Saggs and Devon brawl
into the ring. Tenay says that Knobbs dislocated his shoulder at the PPV. That
is NOT a fun injury. In the ring Saggs whips Devon into the corner and then hits
a Running Clothesline in the corner. Saggs goes for another one but Devon nails
him with a clothesline of his own. Devon then rolls Saggs out of the ring as
Knobbs and Bubba brawl into the ring. Knobbs whips Bubba into the ropes and hits
a back elbow and then whips him into the corner. Knobbs charges (in slow motion)
at Bubba but eats a back elbow. Bubba climbs to the middle rope and connects
with a Flying Shoulder Block. Bubba follows up with a series of jobs and then a
Elbow to the top of the head. Saggs comes in and charges at Bubba but Bubba
connects with a Scoop Slam. Devon climbs to the top and hits the Whatsup Diving
Headbutt on Saggs! Bubba then tells Devon to get the tables! Devon slides a
table into the ring and then 3D sets it up near the ropes. Nasty's connect with
Forearm as 3D turns around and then they roll Bubba out of the ring. The Nasty's
grab Devon and then whip him into the ropes and hit a Double Hip Toss, but Bubba
moved the table out of the way. Bubba climbs to the top but Jimmy Hart grabs a
hold of his foot and the Saggs chunks him off the top. Jesse Neal comes out from
the back and grabs the motorcycle helmet from Hart and nails Saggs with it! Neal
then tosses it over the head of Knobbs to Devon! Devon lays Knobbs out with the
helmet and then tosses it back to Neal. 3D on Saggs through the table!
Winners: Team 3D via putting Saggs through the table
In Bischoff's office Foley is confronting Bischoff. Foley says Bischoff set
Abyss up by having Foley out of the building. Bischoff says he can't understand
Foley's Machiavellian (shout out to the Tupac fans!) state of paranoia that he's
always in. Foley says Bischoff's actions compel people to feel paranoia.
Bischoff tells Foley to look at the end result rather than the methods to get
there. He says Abyss now has Hulkamania literally in the palm of his hands and
he's happier than he's ever been. Foley asks Bischoff if he is really going to
take credit for that and Bischoff says if it didn't go down the way it did Hulk
would've never came down and did what he did for Abyss. Bischoff asks Foley why
he's trying to make it all about him but Foley says it's not about him, it's
about Abyss. He says he admits that Abyss was happy but he still thinks that it
was Bischoff's plan to get him out of the building to setup Abyss. Bischoff
tells Foley to let it go because Abyss and even JB is fine. Bischoff asks Foley
where the suit he paid for is but Foley says he wasn't planning on wearing a
suit there so it's back at the hotel. Bischoff tells Foley to get the suit but
he says he'll try.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
ODB vs. Tara
This is ODB's first appearance since dropping the Knockouts Title to Tara in the
2/3 Falls Match. She of course has been gone due to having one of her implants
burst. Footage of Daffney destroying Tara last week is shown. Daffney
immediately charges at ODB as she gets in the ring but ODB gets out of the way
and Daffney nails the ring post. ODB then spanks Daffney and then lights her up
with chops. ODB is still holding her flask as she throws Daffney into the top
turnbuckle and lights her up with chops. ODB then tosses Daffney into the
opposite corner as we get a side-by-side shot of Christy Hemme in the back with
Tara. Tara says she was viciously attacked by Daffney last week and she calls
her a crazy psycho. She says Daffney is extremely violent and she learned it the
hard way last week. Christy says that Daffney has her sights set on Tara's title
and Tara says if she wanted to get her attention she has it. She says she'll be
ready for Daffney next time and Daffney has definitely not heard the last from
her. Daffney hits a hits a chop block on the right knee of ODB and then goes to
work on the knee stomping it repeatedly. Daffney then drags ODB's leg to the
apron and slams it into it. ODB kicks Daffney off with her free leg but Daffney
comes right back and slams ODB's knee into the ring post repeatedly. She even
pulls down ODB's knee pad before slamming it into the post! Daffney then pulls
out what looks like an extra ring step from under the ring and slams it into
ODB's knee with it sandwiched between the steps and the ring post! Daffney then
pulls out a broom or something and lays into ODB's knees with it. Finally Stevie
runs out and drags Daffney off.
Winner: ODB via DQ
In the back JB is with the Tag Champs, Hernandez and Morgan. He talks about
their controversial finish at Against All Odds. Hernandez says they talked about
it already and their cool. He asks JB if he's trying to stir something up.
Morgan says that's what JB does and he says what he did is no big deal. Morgan
says he saw an opening and grabbed it. Hernandez chimes in by saying 'literally'
and Morgan says he'll give him that. Morgan says he didn't do anything that
Hernandez wouldn't have done himself. He says they both agreed before the match
they would do whatever it takes to win. He says that's all he did and he's not
going to spend another second thinking about it and neither should anyone else.
He tells JB this is the part that JB nods his head and says 'yes sir.' JB says
'yes sir' and nods his head. Morgan says their focus is now fully on the Tag
Titles and he says they'll defend the belts anytime, anywhere. He says no one
will beat them anytime soon and when it's all said and done they will be known
as the most 'physically most dominating, black and blueing, door blasting, tag
team of all time'! Hernandez says that's who they are and that's how they do.
Morgan tells TNA that they can line them up and they'll knock them down!
In the parking lot we get a shot of Scott Hall and Syxx-Pac standing by a
dumpster where Hall finds a pipe. Tenay says that word is Kevin Nash & Eric
Young are looking for a fight with Hall and Pac tonight!
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials Beer Money is already in the ring. Roode says it was
almost 2 years ago that he and Storm made the decision to form a little tag team
known as Beer Money. He says on that day he and Storm made a promise to one
another and that is that every time they stepped foot in the ring they would be
the best they could be every single night. He says he and Storm built a
reputation that could be summed up in one word, and that word is PRIDE. Roode
says all they ever wanted to be was the best and here they stand as not only the
greatest tag team in TNA but the greatest tag team in all of professional
wrestling. Storm says they're not out there to have a war of words with Hulk
Hogan or Eric Bischoff, they're out there plainly stating the fact that they've
been in TNA since day one. He says they were there when the so called veterans
didn't want to come into TNA and it was up to the young guys to carry and they
did that. He says the numbers don't lie. He says they've made TNA a lot of money
because the Beer Money merchandise outsells everyone (I'm fairly sure that's
true). He says for some reason the new TNA management wants to put Beer Money on
the sidelines (which gets a chorus of boos) and that doesn't sit well with them.
He points to Roode and says that man needs his money and then he points to
himself and says he needs for Roode to make his money so he can buy his beer!
Storm says they have seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and right
now TNA is as high as it's ever been, but if TNA is going to take that next step
they're going to have to have a little Beer Money and if you don't then "sorry
about yo damn luck." Hernandez's music hits and he makes his way out onto the
stage. Hernandez says they don't have to prove anything to anyone because
everyone knows their reputation and how good they really are. Hernandez says
just like Beer Money he and Morgan want to be the best so he's going to go
straight to Hogan's office and ask for a title shot....for Beer Money! Hernandez
asks what they say about that. Roode says the answer is simple and it's yes!
Hernandez says may the best team win.
In the back JB is with Nash and Young. JB says he knows that they want revenge
on Hall and Pac but they aren't under a TNA contract so that complicates things
for a match down the road. Nash says they're not even asking for a ring or a
jackass in a striped shirt. He says all they want is Pac and Hall in a fight. He
says they just want to bust them up, break some bones, and crack some skulls.
Young says they pleaded to Hogan and Bischoff not for a match but just a little
bit of TV time. Young says he's willing to bet that TV time will be the highest
segment ever in TNA history because he and Nash will be living the dream that
1,000's of people have wanted to do for years, and that's taking Pac & Hall and
busting them up and sending them packing for good. Nash says he did what he
could to get them a spot in TNA but they repay him by jumping him. Nash says he
can live with the physical pain but the emotional pain of having your 2 best
friends turn on you is "4 Life".
Jeff Jarrett walks into Bischoff's office and asks Eric if last week is all
Eric's got. Jarrett says just because he didn't do what he wanted he uses 6
thugs to jump him. Jarrett says it will take a lot more than just 6 thugs to run
him out of his company. Jarrett says his whole life he had to fight for what he
has. Bischoff says he apologizes and Jeff tells him not to give him that crap.
Bischoff tells him to settle down and listen to him but Jarrett says he's worked
too long and too hard to let this happen to him. Bischoff says he's doing his
best in TNA and Jeff asks him if he is trying to get him to feel sorry for him.
Bischoff says he knows that he's been wrong about Jeff and it took a big set of
stones to stand up to him last week, but last week Jeff did the right thing.
Bischoff says he respects that. He tells Jeff to meet him out in the ring
tonight because he deserves better from Bischoff. Bischoff tells Jeff just to
trust him and if their going to fix this thing there has to be trust. Jeff says
"Jarrett trust Bischoff?" and then starts to walk off but stops and says he'll
see him out there alright.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials a video package recapping Bischoff and Jarrett's history
the past few months.
Eric Bischoff's music hits and he makes his way out to the ring. Bischoff says
thank you to the fans and tells them he 'loves them' (sarcastically). Bischoff
says one of the things he prides himself on are is that he admits when he makes
mistakes, but when you get older you have to look back at the things you've done
wrong and you have to grow from them. He says he thinks he was wrong about
Jarrett and asks Jeff to come out now. Jeff comes out and this time he gets his
entrance music and even his pyro. Bischoff says he knows it's been tough between
he and Jeff but he can put it all behind him. Bischoff calls someone from the
back to bring him something from his office and it's the barbed wire bat.
Bischoff says he asked Jeff to do something last week and it may have been
wrong. Bischoff says most people would've thought what he asked Jeff to do was a
disgusting thing to do and Jeff did the right thing. Bischoff says in almost
every respect Jeff did the right thing but the problem is he didn't do the right
thing by him! Bischoff drops the bat and says that is the reason he and Jeff
have their problems. He tells Jarrett that he never seems to be able to do what
Bischoff wants him to do. Bischoff says he'll give "Jeffery" one more shot to do
the right thing. Since Jeff didn't want to use the bat then he wants to go to
the back and flip a few burgers back in catering and hands Jeff a spatula.
Bischoff then pulls out a hair net and says he wants to make sure they abide by
all the health codes and puts it on Jeff's head. Bischoff then asks Jeff if he
has anything to say and then says that Jeff could just quit and make it easy on
the both of him. Bischoff says he didn't think so and then says "happy flipping"
and leaves the ring.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back Morgan approaches Hernandez and asks him what the hell he just did.
Morgan says he can't leave Hernandez alone for five minutes, but Hernandez says
it was Morgan says they were up for any challenge anytime. Morgan says the
problem is that he assumed they would start out with Generation Me or the
Machine Guns or a some other young team. Morgan says he said what he said
because he thought it would sound cool, but then he stops himself and says that
Hernandez is right and he did say that. Morgan says before Hernandez goes out
there and puts their belts up they need to make that decision together.
Hernandez says Beer Money deserves a title shot and they don't shy away from any
challengers. Morgan says Beer Money is the best tag team in TNA besides them and
they do deserve a shot but if they're going to hang onto the titles they need to
think. Morgan says they need to be on the same page before they make a decision
like that anymore.
TNA X-Division Title #1 Contenders Match
Brian Kendrick vs. Kazarian
The winner of this match will earn a shot at the X-Division Title against Doug
Williams at Destination X. Kaz and Kendrick kick off the match with a
Greco-Roman Knuckelock, but Kendrick quickly turns it into a wristlock and drops
his elbow down on the arm of Kaz repeatedly. Kaz reverses the wristlock and
turns it into a hammerlock, but Kendrick counters with a back elbow and then
reverses it back into a wristlock of his own. Kaz grabs the top rope and flips
forward reverses the wristlock and then hits an arm drag followed by a Scoop
Slam as Tenay goes over Kaz's past including how he 'left' TNA back in 2008
after he felt that he let TNA down in the World X-Cup (losing in the Ultimate X
to Team Mexico's Volador Jr.). Kaz hits a Slingshot Leg Drop from the apron over
the top onto Kendrick in the ring. Kaz then hits an Elevated Dropkick on
Kendrick who was sitting in the corner. Replays of the moves Kaz just hit are
shown and then back to live action Kaz charges at Kendrick in the corner, but
Kendrick moves and then rolls Kaz up! 1...2...NO Kaz kicks out and then Kendrick
lays him out with a nasty Leaping Enziguri! Kendrick then hits a Neckbreaker
over his knee! 1...2...NO Kaz kicks out again! Kendrick climbs to the top as
footage (back to the picture-in-picture type view) of Samoa Joe being abducted
last week is shown. Kaz lays Kendrick out with a Leaping Enziguri of his own as
Kendrick was perched up on the top! Kaz follows up with a crazy with a Leaping
Front Kick to Kendrick as he was crotched on the top! Kaz climbs to the top and
hits the Flux Capacitor (Moonsault Side Slam) on Kendrick for the pin! First
time we've seen that move in awhile!
Winner & X-Division #1 Contender: Kazarian via pinfall (Flux Capacitor)
In the back Nash and Young are taping their hands up getting ready for the
fight.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back Abyss is with JB. Abyss says AJ Styles, Ric Flair, or anyone else
wants to come and get the ring from him bring a chainsaw, a see-saw, or whatever
else they want to try and get it. He says the power within the ring comes with
great responsibility. He says Hogan saw something in him and gave him this ring
that has given him powers that he never thought he had. He says Flair and AJ can
come and get it but he just may come and get them because now he's not the lord,
but he's the Monster of the Rings.
A video package hyping up the Global Championship and recapping it's history
from when Booker created it as the Legends Championship and then Young winning
it and renaming it the Global Championship.
In the back Christy Hemme is with Mr. Anderson. Anderson pushes her microphone
away and then one of his own drops down from the ceiling. Anderson tells Christy
to stand there and look pretty. Anderson asks who the guy that has been
unstoppable since coming into TNA and that has on more than one occasion has
left the self proclaimed greatest wrestler in the world bloody. He says tonight
he gets his first taste of TNA Title gold and he takes the first step towards
becoming the TNA World Champion. He says that Rob Terry is strong but he's been
in the ring with guys that are bigger, stronger, and faster than him. He says
Terry is stronger than 6 gorillas and he has beaten 6 gorillas before. Anderson
then does his Mr. Anderson spiel.
A shot of Kurt Angle walking towards the entrance way is shown.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back Rob Terry is getting ready for his match when Brutus Magnus walks up
and says that he and Williams carried Terry for a year and now he'll see what
it's like without them. He tells Terry that he was much better off with them as
allies than enemies. Magnus says Terry will answer to putting his hands on him.
Magnus pokes Terry with his finger and Terry grabs it and twists it. He says
"thanks for the warning, mate now piss off!" So 'piss off' is the first words
that Terry says in TNA? Could've been worse.
TNA Global Championship
"Big" Rob Terry (c) vs. Mr. Anderson
This is Terry's first defense of his title and the first time it's been defended
in a long time on TV. Anderson gets on the mic before the match before he does
his usual thing he asks if he's supposed to be sorry for spitting on some medal
that was given to Kurt Angle from the widow of a soldier. Anderson pulls out his
own set of dog tags and looks down at them and smiles as Kurt Angle comes up
from under the stage (like he does in his entrance) holding a steel chair in
hand! Angle lets Anderson talk some more trash. Anderson says the dog tags he's
wearing were given to him by the widow of a fallen soldier but that widow and
that soldier just so happen to be Vietnamese (wow he did not just go there) and
that's okay. Anderson then says the fans should be ashamed of themselves and
Angle blasts him with the chair! Angle points to Terry and tells him to come get
Anderson. Terry picks Anderson up and takes him back to the ring and the bell
rings! Terry grabs Anderson and hits a Running Powerslam and gets the pin.
Winner & STILL Global Champ: Terry via pinfall (Running Powerslam)
Angle laughs from the entrance way and then we cut to the back where Jarrett is
actually flipping burgers in the back! Foley then is shown walking into the
Impact Zone in a trench coat.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
A video package is shown highlighting the history of what's went down between
Nash and The Band here in TNA.
Nash and Young walk out the door and Syxx-Pac is there waiting for them. Syxx
gives Young the old "suck it" DX crotch chop and then Young throws a few rights
at him! Pac comes back and throws Young into a table and then we see a shot of
Nash laying on the ground screaming and Hall standing over him with a pipe
laughing. Nash is holding his knee. Young picks up a trashcan and then throws it
at Pac but turns around and eats a couple of slaps and chops from Hall. Hall
says "it's nothing personal, it's family business so stay out if" and then slaps
him again. Pac then destroys Young with a spinning heel kick on the concrete.
Pac picks up a trash can as Hall tells him to tag him. Pac sprays "4-Life" on
his back and asks Hall if that brings on old memories. Pac and Hall then do the
"suck it" chop to Nash as they walk off.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back Jarrett is now cutting up onions and then we cut to Bischoff's
office where Foley walks in. Foley is wearing the trench coat and then he takes
it off revealing a nice suit. I don't think I've ever seen Foley in a suit.
There is a stain on the collar of the suit and Bischoff asks what that is. Foley
says it's mustard and he can explain it. He says he was in catering eating a hot
dog and he saw Jarrett working the grill so it caught him off guard and he
spilled it on him. Bischoff says he talked to his assistant and told her to find
Foley and edict coach so he can carry himself with dignity. Foley says this
could be a fresh beginning for him and then says he's off to 'edict school' and
walks off. Bischoff busts out laughing as soon as Foley is out the door.
Main Event
Desmond Wolfe w/Chelsea vs. "The Monster" Abyss
Abyss comes out this time to a mix between his usual theme and the "American
Made" theme. Wolfe and Abyss lockup and Abyss shoves him off but Wolfe comes
right back with a kick to the gut and then he puts Abyss in a rear chin lock.
Abyss fights the hold and gets to his feet and backs Wolfe into the corner, but
Wolfe grabs him again only to eat a back elbow from Abyss. Abyss goes for a
Corner Splash but Wolfe moves and then grabs Abyss by the back of the head,
kicks him in the back, and then hits a clothesline. Wolfe tries to put Abyss up
on the top rope but Abyss blocks it so Wolfe hits a cross chop on Abyss and then
a Running Forearm Smash on Abyss in the corner. Wolfe then sets up for another
but Abyss kills him with a Splash in the corner! Abyss then goes for a Chokeslam
but Wolfe blocks it and hits the Arm-Wringer Slam followed by the Lariat
attempt, but Abyss counters into the Black Hole Slam! 1...2...3!
Winner: Abyss via pinfall (Black Hole Slam)
After the match AJ and Flair walk down to the ring and Abyss lays them both out!
Wolfe then blasts Abyss with a chair repeatedly! Abyss shrugs them off and
points at Wolfe Hogan-style but Flair chop blocks him from behind! Flair low
blows Abyss and then he and AJ put the boots to him! Wolfe joins in and
handcuffs Abyss to the ropes! Hogan walks down to the ring to a huge ovation!
Flair turns around and starts doing his strut right into a right hand from
Hogan! Hogan lays out AJ and then Wolfe. Clotheslines from them all but Flair
comes back with a chop block on Hogan now. AJ lays into Hogan with right hands
and then Hogan low blows Hogan and Wolfe connects with rights of his own. Flair
and Wolfe pick Hogan up and rip his shirt away to allow Flair to chop away at
Hogan's bare chest. Wolfe then holds AJ so he can chop him! Flair with rights
and lefts now. Flair continues to stomp on Hogan as AJ holds his belt up and
talks trash and then blasts Hogan with it! Hogan is busted open as Flair throws
more rights at him. Abyss goes ape sh*t and rips the handcuffs off the ropes and
goes after Flair, AJ, and Wolfe but they bail out. Abyss then checks on Hogan as
we go to a break.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials Abyss is helping Hogan to his feet as replays of what just
went down is shown. Taz thinks they set Hogan up. Hogan grabs a microphone and
tells Flair to hold on before they leave and he says since Flair always wants to
stick his nose into matches on March 8th when they go live Flair is coming out
of retirement! Flair says he'll do what he wants to do it and he's not coming
out of retirement! Hogan tells them turn Flair's mic off and then he says not
only is Flair getting in the ring but AJ is going to be his partner in a match
against Abyss and his partner. Abyss's partner will be Hulk Hogan! The fans went
nuts for that and Tenay said "holy sh*t"! Well, March 8th just got even bigger.
