IMPACT
March 8, 2010
Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida
thanks to wrestleview.com
The show starts off with a brand new Impact intro
which incorporates a rock song, pretty cool video.
We then cut to LIVE inside the Impact Zone with the pyro going off and it looks
the Ultimate X structure is hanging above the ring! Dixie Carter is shown in the
middle of the raucous crowd. Taz and Tenay hype up the big Main Event tonight
but then Hogan's music hits and the match is starting NOW!
Hogan has donned the infamous red and yellow tonight and Abyss has some new
gear. It's all black with a red and yellow 'A' on his back (for Abyss
obviously). Huge reaction for the Hulkster as we see Brooke in the crowd. Hogan
has the stick as he and Abyss get the crowd pumped up. Hogan tells Abyss it's
time to cut the clowning and calls this the biggest night in the history of TNA
and says Spike is backing them and they are live! Hogan says there is no reason
to wait until later and says he and Abyss will be the judge, jury, and
executioner for AJ and Flair tonight. Hogan says when he came to TNA he planned
on taking TNA to infinity and beyond but now that AJ and Flair have changed the
rules. He says they left Hogan in a pool of his own blood and Abyss in his own
pool of blood this is TNA's reckoning. Hogan tells Flair and AJ to bring their
a**es down to the ring right now!
Hulk Hogan & "The Monster" Abyss vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles & "Nature Boy"
Ric Flair
I have to say Flair and AJ looked pretty cool rocking the robes together in
front of that pyro. AJ has changed up his ring gear too. If you remember the old
short tights he used to wear back in the day, they're similar to that (more
closely resembling Flair's trunks). Abyss turns AJ around before the bell and
starts things off quickly with big right hand! We are under way! AJ ducks the
right and then connects with a series of leg kicks on the big man followed by a
chop. AJ attempts to whip Abyss into the ropes but Abyss reverses it and then
goes for a clothesline but AJ ducks it. Abyss then goes for a backhand but AJ
ducks again and then Abyss Press Slam's AJ way up into the lights! AJ tags in
Flair! Ric Flair steps foot inside the TNA ring as a competitor for the first
time! Flair struts around as Hogan begs Abyss for a tag, but Abyss shoots in
with a tie up on Flair. Flair lights Abyss up with a series of those vintage
(sorry Cole) chops in the corner! Abyss comes back with a series of rights and
then chops of his own! Abyss whips Flair into the corner and then hits a big
Backdrop! The referee turns to Hogan as he was saying something and the
"Dirtiest Player in the Game" strikes! Flair hits a low blow on Abyss! AJ then
drapes his robe over Abyss' head and starts throwing right hands as the referee
was trying to hold Hogan back. Hogan lays out Flair but then AJ lays Hogan out
with an Enziguri! AJ and Flair putting the boots to Hogan and Abyss now! The
lights go out and Sting's music hits! The lights come on and Sting appears in
the ring with the bat!
Winner: NO CONTEST
Flair and AJ beg Sting off as the fans are absolutely going nuts! Sting stands
between the two teams as Hogan looks on and smiles and then rips off his shirt,
but Sting blasts Abyss and then Hogan with the bat! WHAT THE HELL?! Sting lays
out Hogan and Abyss with the bat as AJ and Flair take off. I can now see that
Sting is wearing red and black tights under his trench coat. AJ sees what's
happening and smiles as he grabs a steel chair. Sting hits Abyss with the bat
and then AJ absolutely destroys Abyss with the chair! Flair grabs the chair and
then nails Hogan with it! Flair with a low blow on Hogan as he is busted open
and then he and AJ continue to put the beatdown on Hogan and Abyss. Sting now
leaves the ring as AJ & Flair continue to beat on Hogan and Abyss. Security
finally comes out to pull AJ and Flair away. AJ screams "who would've thunk it?"
as they walk up the ramp. Hogan grabs a microphone as he lays on the mat and
screams that this isn't over and says they'll finish it before the nights over!
He says Flair keeps changing the rules, he'll keep changing the game. He says
there coming back out later and it'll be No DQ!
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials a stunned Tenay and Taz show replays of what just went
down. We cut to the back where Sting is walking. Dixie Carter walks up to Sting
and asks him what he's thinking and says he owes her an explanation. Sting
actually grabs her and pushes her into the wall and says that he owes her
absolutely nothing. Sting then walks off with Dixie looking shocked. Holy crap,
Sting is going full blown heel on this one!
We cut back to JB now who is with Flair and AJ. AJ says that there isn't any do-overs
in wrestling and that they owned Hogan and Abyss tonight, but if they want to do
it again they'll just beat them up again. Flair says that Sting has finally come
to his senses and on the right night. Flair holds his fists up and says "this is
Hogan and Abyss' blood! I haven't even started tonight" and says if they want a
restart that's fine with him. Flair says if he is going to come out of
retirement he will make a statement heard around the world. He says tonight is
Ric Flair & AJ Styles night! Flair says they'll finish the job and says Hogan
and Abyss will be going out on ambulance tonight and if you want blood, guts,
and glory just dial the name Ric Flair.
We cut to Abyss putting a towel on his cut and screaming "WHY STING?!" while
slamming his fists against the wall.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back some chick is consoling Brooke Hogan and Brooke says Hogan isn't
okay. He says Hogan will pretend like he's okay but he's not. She says she can't
watch it.
In the ring Kazarian is standing with a microphone. Kaz says it was almost two
years ago that he chose to walk away from TNA and when he did he had alot of
doubt about himself. He says after alot of soul searching he can safely say that
all that doubt is gone now. Kaz says the reason he came back to TNA is to
reignite the flame of the X-Division (someone needs to). A big "X-Division"
chant starts up now. Kaz says the way he sees it, is if TNA is going to war then
he says the warriors of X-Division should lead them into battle. Christopher
Daniels interrupts him and walks out to the ring. Daniels says if anyone is to
lead the X-Division into battle it won't be Kaz or anyone else in the back,
it'll be the man that was X-Division 10 years before there ever was an
X-Division: himself. Daniels goes on to mention that he was the longest reigning
X-Division Champion ever. Daniels was standing on the top rope while saying all
of this. Daniels says tonight he tells Bischoff and the world that he will carry
the X-Division to the highest of heights because he is 'X'! Doug Williams now
walks out and says that's a pretty picture, two old geezers in the ring spouting
off at the mouth that they're going to save the X-Division like some
superheroes. A big "USA" chant is started directed at the Brit. Williams tells
the fans to shut their mouths and then assures us that the X-Division is alive
in well because he is the X-Division Champion. Kaz calls him Douglas and says he
does have a point, but 7 years ago when he and Daniels were pioneering the
X-Division where was he? Daniels cuts him off and asks Kaz what all that 'we'
stuff is. He says Kaz hasn't done anything in the X-Division that he cares
about. Kaz says maybe the reason Daniels doesn't care about anything that he's
done is because deep down he's just a selfish prick! Eric Bischoff's music hits
and the man that was responsible for WCW's remarkable Cruiserweight division
back in the day comes out. Bischoff says that when Hogan talked to him for the
first time about coming to TNA he couldn't wait and one of those reasons was
because of the X-Division. He says as far as he is concerned TNA isn't just the
heart of TNA, it's the adrenaline of TNA and if he has anything to do with it he
will make it run bigger, faster, and stronger. Bischoff mentions that Kaz has an
X-Division Title shot at Destination X but says no longer! It's going down
tonight! Bischoff then says he hasn't forgotten about Daniels either because
tonight it will be Williams vs. Daniels vs. Kaz for the X-Title and it's RIGHT
NOW!

---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships
Three Way Dance
Sarita & Taylor Wilde vs. The Beautiful People w/Lacey Von Erich vs. Tara &
Angelina Love
Tenay says that Kong and Hamada failed to defend their belts in 30 days so TNA
stripped them of the belts. This is the first time we've seen Taylor & Sarita in
quite some time as well. The gorgeous BP are wearing matching pink and black
tights tonight. Angelina power walks right into the ring and goes after BP, but
they bail out. That allows Taylor & Sarita to roll Tara & Angelina up! 1....NO

ring. Taylor with a series of forearms on Tara and then a leg kick. Taylor whips

a hurricanrana but Tara blocks it and then flings Taylor over her shoulders
backwards to the mat. Taylor is able to reach up and tag in Sarita. Tara goes
for a clothesline but Sarita ducks and kicks Tara in the gut. Sarita then hits a
Springboard Stunner on Tara and then comes off the ropes and connects with a
Cross Body Block, but Velvet was able to blind tag Taylor as she hit the ropes.
Velvet covers Tara and gets a nearfall. Velvet tags in Madison and they put the
boots to Tara in the BP corner. Madison hits a snapmare takeover and then puts a
knee into the back of Tara for another nearfall. Madison holds Tara so Velvet
can slap her. Angelina tries to get into the ring and the referee has to hold
her back which allows BP to come in and hit a Double Russian Legsweep on Tara!
Madison gets a nearfall until Taylor & Sarita pull her off. Taylor and Sarita
attempt to whip BP into the ropes but they reverse it and Lacey trips both of
them from the outside as the referee was trying to hold Angelina back again. BP

Angelina in now with clotheslines on BP and then the Botox Injection on Velvet
but the referee makes her get out because there was no tag. Tara goes for the
Widows Peak on Madison but Daffney comes out of nowhere and hits Tara with the
Knockouts Title! Madison covers, 1...2...3!
Winners & NEW Knockouts Tag Champs: Velvet & Madison via pinfall
In the back Christy Hemme is with The Pope. Hemme says Pope will be going
one-on-one with Desmond Wolfe. Pope says he would love to be the pendant that
hangs from her chain and then he says Pope goes one-on-one with the Wolfman
again. He says every dog has his day but Ruffi....Wolfe jumps Pope from behind!
Wolfe has a big a** chain in his hand and he stomps the ankle of Pope and then
twists on it. He pulls his shoe off and then grabs the chain and slams it into
Pope's ankle! Wolfe tells Pope he can keep the chain and then walks off leaving
Pope laying.
We see Sting walking down some stairs as Tenay & Taz wonder who his opponent is.
Taz gives possibly a clue as he asks Tenay what he was doing at "4:20" this
afternoon. Think about it people.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
In the back JB is with the celebrating Beautiful People. JB says those belts
look fantastic on them and Madison says they are finally Knockouts Tag Champs.
Lacey asks if she is a champion too and Velvet says they couldn't have done it
without her. Velvet says now it's time to celebrate BP style. JB brings in some
champagne. Velvet pops the cork and says with them as champs things about to
explode. Velvet then pours it over JB's head.
Back at the announce table Tenay and Taz discuss what went down with Sting
earlier and show more replays of it. Tenay mentions that he has been around
Sting for two decades and not even he saw that coming. They are really selling
how Sting put his hands on Dixie and how that is not the Sting we've all come to
know. Sting's music hits and it's time!
Sting stands in the ring for awhile as they are making us wait to find out who
the opponent is. Some music hits and we hear "ROB VAN DAM...THE WHOLE F***IN
SHOW" and the letters "RVD" on the screen as the fans and myself mark the hell
out! ROB VAN DAM HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED!
"The Icon" Sting vs. "Whole F'n Show" Rob Van Dam
Sting waits for RVD to come out of the tunnel but RVD sneaks through the crowd
and quickly climbs up to the top rope! RVD flies off the top and connects with a
Flying Back Kick on Sting! RVD follows up with the Rolling Thunder! 1...2...3
and RVD wins!
Winner: RVD via pinfall (Rolling Thunder)
The fans are going freaking nuts! Sting attacks RVD with the bat after the
match. Sting hits RVD in one of those educated legs and then whips him into the
ropes and hits him with the bat. Sting leaves RVD laying in the ring. The fans
chant "RVD" as Sting starts to come back to the ring apparently not satisfied
with what he just did. RVD swings at Sting but he blocks it and then hits Sting
with the bat again two more times. Sting hits RVD in the back with the bat and
finally leaves again as the fans chant "you suck" at Sting. Sting shoves
referees away on the ramp and then he hits one of the referees with the bat!
Sting hits another referee with the bat and then he comes back to the ring yet
again! RVD tries to meet him on the ramp but Sting blasts him with the bat
again! Hogan's music hits! Hogan comes out and starts saying something to Sting
until Bubba the Love Sponge comes out to get between Hogan and the ring. Sting
gets back in the ring daring Hogan to come in. Sting hits RVD with the bat yet
again! Sting hits RVD another time as Hogan tries to get through security with
Sting just taunting him. Hogan finally gets close to the ring and Sting hits RVD
again and then Sting hits Hogan with the bat as security was holding back! The
fans are damn near riot-level with Sting right now. Security tries to help Hogan
to the back and Sting walks up the ramp and lays out security and then Hogan
with the bat! Sting has gone nuts. Tenay and Taz put over Sting's action as
despicable again and ask why in the hell Sting is doing this.
Kevin Nash's music hits and Taz asks "now what?". Nash and Young make their way
out to the ring with Nash holding some papers in his hand. Nash says for the
last month no matter what they've done Hall and Pac have made their way into the
arena. He says he talked to Hogan today and right now he holds a contract in his
hand. That contract says that for one night and one night only Hall and Pac will
be allowed into the Impact Zone for a match against he and Eric Young at
Destination X! He says that he knows they are out there somewhere so they need
to come out and accept the challenge.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials Nash and Young are still waiting for Hall and Pac but
during the break they showed a cut back scene of them walking into the arena.
Nash calls Hall "Bad Guy" and Pac "X-Pac" and asks where they are. Taz says they
may have stopped at the concession stand because they have the munchies. Hall
and Pac finally make their way through the crowd as security gets into the ring
to hold Nash and Young back in case something happens. Hall and Pac get into the
ring and Hall has a microphone. Hall gets in Nash's face and says "Hey Yo!" and
he says that 2/3 of the legendary Wolfpac are in the building. Hall calls Nash
"big sellout" and then calls him Hogan's stooge. Hall says in case Nash didn't
see what Sting did to Hogan, Hogan isn't running nothing right now. Hall says he
and Pac decided they want in on TNA because it's starting to get cool. He says
that he isn't the smartest and he runs with a guy that definitely isn't the
smartest (Pac) but they do have lawyers. Hall says that if he and Pac take the
match and win it then they get official contracts to be in TNA. Nash says they
can have the match but not contracts but Hall cuts him off and asks "Easy-E" if
he wants in on this. Bischoff shows up on the screen and says if he and Pac beat
Young & Nash they get contracts! Bischoff says if they don't win then Pac and
Hall do not come back to TNA in anyway. Hall and Pac agree to it. Nash says
'I'll see you at the PPV' and then shakes Hall's hand. Young offers Pac a
handshake but Pac slaps the ever loving taste right out of Young's mouth! Young
jumps on Pac and the brawl is on! Security pulls them apart and Bischoff says
he's sick and tired of paying security to keep them out of the building so
they'll do it a little different tonight. He tells security to get Hall and Nash
from ringside but tells Young he has a 'license to kill' and he can 'slap that
punk upside his b*tch head!' Pac vs. Young right now!
"Showtime" Eric Young vs. Syxx-Pac
Young jumps on Pac as the bell rings and starts throwing right after right at
him! Pac comes right back with a right of his own in the corner and then follows
up with a Spinning Back Kick! Pac whips Young into the opposite corner but Young

slams Pac's head into the mat repeatedly and then he goes for a Scoop Slam, but
Pac blocks it and nails him with a spinning heel kick! Pac throws Young into the
corner and goes for the Bronco Buster, but Young moves and Pac is crotched in
the corner! Young hits the Piledriver! 1...2...3 and Young gets the win!
Winner: Young via pinfall (Piledriver)
In the back a Hummer drives up with "US Army" on it and a bunch of service men
get out.
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
The army men walk out to the ring and stand along the ramp as Kurt Angle's music
hits and he makes his way out to the ring. Kurt Angle gets in the ring and the
soldiers surround the ring. Angle says as you can see he brought some of his
friends out with him. Angle tells Mr. Anderson that these are the men and women
that fight for our country, the fans are eating it up. Angle says that these are
the men and women that choose to leave their families behind to stand up for
what we believe in. Angle says they are willing to stand up and fight for and
die for people like he and Mr. Anderson. Angle says these are the men and women
that 2 weeks ago Anderson spit on when he spit on the dog tags. Angle says he
had an epiphany and he says winning an Olympic Gold Medal is nothing compared to
what the soldiers do for our country. Angle says as a proud American it is his
duty to protect and serve those soldiers when "b*tches" like Anderson degrade
them. Angle says if there is one thing he's learned over the past year is that
you don't mess with an American soldier. Angle says Anderson will find out why
when 'this warrior kicks your a** up and down the Impact Zone'. Anderson
interrupts him and begs Angle to stop his grand standing. He says this thing
isn't about Angle or the 'high school dropouts' standing out there with him.
Angle leaves the ring as he's talking. He says it's about him, Angle, and this
little international object as he holds up the dog tags, but before he can
continue Angle comes out of nowhere and blasts him! Angle hits a European
Uppercut on Anderson and then beats him back towards the ring. He throws
Anderson into the ring but Anderson nails him with the dog tag wrapped around
his hand! Anderson starts to leave the ring but a bunch of the soldiers are
standing in his way! Angle grabs him and tosses him back into the ring. Angle
lays out Anderson and then tosses him out to the floor where the soldiers jump
on him! They toss Anderson back into the ring and then Angle tosses him out to
the other side and those soldiers beat on him. The soldiers toss him back into
the ring and he tosses Anderson back out! The soldiers beat on him some more and
then toss him back into the ring where Angle hits the Angle Slam! Angle grabs an
American flag from the soldiers and then spits on Anderson as he holds the flag
up over Anderson. The soldiers then climb in the ring and lift Angle up on his
shoulders as he raises the flag!
---COMMERCIAL BREAK---
Back from commercials Bubba the Love Sponge is talking with Hogan. He's trying
to talk some sense into Hogan. Hogan says he didn't even want to go out there
but he had to and he has to go back out. Earl Hebner charges in and asks Hogan
for a second chance. Hogan says he has so much on his hands tonight and Bubba
says everybody gets a second chance. He says Earl deserves a second chance.
Hogan says Earl can help him. Hogan tells Bubba not to get in his business and
then tells Earl that if Hogan can't continue and it gets out of control he has
to stop the match. Earl promises he will and then leaves the room.
Taz and Tenay reveal the card for DX which will feature GM vs. the Guns in
Ultimate X with a shot at the Tag Titles on the line, Syxx Pac & Hall vs. Nash &
Young, Anderson vs. Angle, AJ Styles vs. Abyss for the World Title!
Jeff Jarrett is with Foley in the back and he approaches James Storm. He asks
Storm if Bischoff forced 'them' into 'the' match tonight. Storm says nobody
forces him to do anything and they volunteered for it. Jarrett asks if Storm
forgot how he handpicked Storm to be in TNA and that Storm even trained in
Jarrett's dad's backyard! Storm says he's right but it's about what can you do
for me right now and Jeff hasn't done jack squat right now. Storm starts to say
his 'sorry about yo damn luck' line but Jeff punches him in the mouth! Roode
comes from behind and jumps Jarrett and Beer Money beat on him. Foley comes from
behind and tells them to take it to the ring.

draping him over the top rope. Jeff charges at Storm but eats a Spinebuster from
Roode. Roode then catapults Jeff right into a Spide DDT from Storm! That was
nasty! Beer Money are really heeling it up right now as they punch Jarrett back
and forth between each other. Storm hits the Eye of the Storm on Jarrett. Storm
grabs his beer as Roode holds Jarrett and goes to spit the beer in Jarrett's
