The night was dubbed “HardCORE Justice” the Alumni were there and the card was…. Still not public to the paying audience. None the less, the night was going as planned, some surprising names appeared such as Hollywood Nova and Justin Credible as well as New Jack and Mustafa of the Gangsta’s who provided one of the bigger shocks of the night when New Jack and D-Von Dudley hugged in the ring, seemingly ending their real life feud.
The night showcased two main events, one of which was a 13 year long feud between Raven and Tommy Dreamer where Mick Foley was the special guest referee. Foley called the match down the middle till Raven began pushing him causing the hardcore legend to fight back, despite this, Raven still picked up the victory following the Raven Effect DDT to Tommy Dreamer.
The scheduled main event of Rob Van Dam had to be cancelled due to Jerry Lynn getting injured and backing out at the last minute. TNA and ECW fans alike charged Tommy Dreamer’s twitter, telling them who they’d like to see face the TNA World Champion and Dreamer was clearly listening as “The Homicidal, Genocidal, Death defying” Sabu was named the replacement. The two put on an entertaining match that was surprisingly botch free and had some entertaining moments where Bill Alfonzo was managing both men. The end saw Rob Van Dam win the match following the 5 Star Frog Splash through a table.
Following the match, after Sabu left, the entrance music of Eric Bischoff hit and he made his way down to the ring. Eric gets booed pretty heavy by the crowd and there’s even a few “ Dub See Dub” chants. Eric finally talks, running down the night calling it the worst wrestling he’s seen in years. Tommy Dreamer makes his way out to confront Eric and says he knows someone who has disagrees with Bischoff. The crowd pop as a rather lame remix of Paul Heyman shouting “this is extreme!” over the PA System plays and the man himself makes his way down to the ring. Once inside, Heyman is given a microphone and he praises everyone who competed tonight and thanked them for still being loyal to the three letters than changed professional wrestling in the 90’s. Heyman then runs down Eric for a few moments talking about how there has been several ECW reunion shows but not one WCW reunion show. Suddenly, Desmond Wolfe, Beer Money Inc, AJ Styles and Kaz hit the ring and attack RVD and Tommy Dreamer, after they hit their finishers on Van Dam and Dreamer, they leave through the crowd as they are chased by the ECW Alumni. Bischoff is still standing the corner as he had Heyman grabbed by the arms so he couldn’t help, as if there was something he could really do in the first place. Heyman breaks free from Bischoff’s grip as Dreamer struggles to get to his feet. Heyman runs over and helps Dreamer to his feet before shocking everyone and kicking Dreamer straight in the groin. Dreamer falls down to the canvas as RVD looks on stunned from the outside of the ring. The worse was yet to come however and Heyman turned around, smiling and hugged Eric Bischoff in the middle of the ring. The Pay-Ver-View comes to an end as the night hell froze over.

Orlando, Florida |
1) Kurt Angle defeated. AJ Styles - I am all for opening up the show in a big way but this is a match that has headlined Pay-Per-Views. A good match as you would expect but it didn’t get the time it really deserved. The finish eventually arrived with Kurt Angle countering the pele kick by locking in the Ankle Lock. AJ Styles had no choice but to tap out. Following the bell, Angle tried to hand AJ the Television Championship out of respect but AJ snatched it from his hands and left the ring angrily.
The cameras turn to the commentator’s table where Taz and Mike Tenay run down the stacked card that includes a Knock Out Championship match between Madison Rayne and Angelina Love, as well as Jeff Hardy’s open challenge. We also have the main event match as Rob Van Dam defends the TNA World Championship against “The Monster” Abyss in what he’s calling a Stairway to Janice match. They also remind everyone that tonight, Paul Heyman will tell every why he did what he did last night at HardCORE Justice.
2 - TNA Knockout’s Championship) Madison Rayne© defeated. Angelina Love - The second match of the evening actually seemed longer than the first match which seems like a crime but Madison actually made this a half decent match. It really seemed like Love was going to get back the championship but in the end, Madison Rayne retained the championship after dropping Angelina Love with her finisher, the Rayne Drop. This was enough to give Madison the win.
Following the bell, Velvet Sky came out and attempted to attack Angelina Love. After a short time where Love and Rayne had the upper hand over Love, the mysterious biker woman appeared and made the save, before turning around and kicking Love in the face. The biker woman then left as the screen fades away.
The “interview/promo free” special edition of Impact continues following a commercial break as the entrance music of Mr Anderson plays over the PA System as the triple threat match featuring Mr Anderson, D’Angelo Dinero and Matt Morgan is up next.
3) Matt Morgan defeated. Mr Anderson and D’Angelo Dinero - Again, another match that didn’t get a lot of time, the main event must be getting a lot of time tonight. The match started off with Anderson and Dinero working together to get the big Matt Morgan off his feet but after both men broke up each others pin fall attempts they began to fight with each other. During this brawl, Matt Morgan took advantage and delivered his big boot to Mr Anderson before slamming D’Angelo Dinero with the Hellivator. This was enough for Morgan to get the pin fall over “The Pope” as Mr Anderson was unable to break up the pin fall attempt.
Following the match, Matt Morgan tried to deliver the big boot to D’Angelo Dinero but during the run, Mr Anderson dived at Morgan, shoulder tackling the giant out of the ring. Morgan left with his victory as Anderson attempted to help Dinero to his feet but again, Dinero ignored Anderson’s changed ways and left on his own.
Following another commercial, “The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy made his way down to the ring for the Jeff Hardy open challenge. While Jeff waits in the ring, the entrance music of Desmond Wolfe hit’s the PA System as Desmond Wolfe and Magnus make their way on to the entrance ramp. Wolfe who was on the microphone told Jeff not to look so confused as it is neither of them he will be wrestling tonight. Desmond says he has contacted someone to make their newly formed tag team a trios. At this point, an unknown music hits as a man and a woman make their way through on screen. Taz and Tenay put over how the two are Nikita Burchill and her brother, Paul. Wolfe, Magnus, and both Burchill’s make their way to ringside as Paul enters the ring and it gets underway.
4) Paul Burchill w/ Nikita Burchill, Magnus & Desmond Wolfe defeated. Jeff Hardy - This was the longest match of the night thus far as Jeff Hardy and TNA’s latest signing, Paul Burchill had quite the entertaining match. After some fun back n forth actiont hat included Burchill countering the Swanton Bomb and Jeff Hardy kicking out of the Jack Hammer, the finish of the match eventually arrived with Jeff once again calling for the Swanton Bomb only for Nikita Burchill to get on the apron, distracting the referee. Magnus charged at Hardy who was still at the top rope but Hardy kicked Magnus, sending him crashing from the apron to the outside. This allowed Desmond Wolfe to daze Hardy with a punch before slamming him down to the canvas with the Tower of London. Wolfe rolled out of the ring as Hardy staggered to his feet only for Burchill to hook him and slam him down with a fancy back flip slam he calls the C-4. Burchill hooks the leg and gets the surprising three count.
Following the bell, Inc Inc run down to the ring with steel chairs to make the save as Shannon Moore checks over his fallen friend.
Following yet another commercial break, the entrance music of Beer Money hits as their tag team championship match against Motor City Machine Guns are up next.
5 - TNA World Tag Team Championships) Motor City Machine Guns© defeated. Beer Money -This was clearly the match of the night as Alex Shelly & Chris Sabin had a fantastic two out of three falls match with James Storm & Robert Roode. Not only was this the best match of the night, it was clearly the longest match of the night as well and after a good ten minutes of action, Beer Money picked up the first fall after they connected with their Neck Breaker/Power Bomb combination on Alex Shelley. After controlling the match for several more minutes, the Machine Guns fought back and picked up the second fall as the Motor City Machine Guns went old school Hardy Boyz, connecting with a top rope Leg Drop/Splash combination on Robert Roode. At 1-1 the crowd were getting really in to the match, and for good reason, the quality was only getting better but the eventual finish of the match arrived with Sabin and Shelley hitting their NeckBreaker/Splash combination on James Storm not once, but twice.
Following the bell, a small pyro displays erupts as the Motor City Machine Guns retain the TNA Tag Team Championships and win the best of 5 series against Beer Money.
The special referee for the main event of the evening, Eric Bischoff makes his way down to the ring as Rob Van Dam defends the TNA World Championship against Abyss in the Stairway to Janice match.
Main Event - TNA World Championship) Rob Van dam© defeated. Abyss - The bloodiest match of the night but would you expect anything less from an Abyss match that had no rules? Despite the match being focused around the plank of wood with the spikes, Abyss has called Janice. It was only used twice and both times failed to hit Rob Van Dam. Instead, we got barbed wire tables, thumbtacks and broken glass. By the end of it, Abyss’ scared arm was bleeding badly, RVD had thumbtacks sticking out of his back and there was broken pieces of table everywhere. The finish of the match eventually arrived with Rob Van Dam hitting the Van Terminator followed by the Five Star Frog Splash. This was enough to give RVD the three count and retain the TNA World Championship.
Following the bell, Hulk Hogan made his way down to the ring where RVD was still standing. Hogan put over HardCORE Justice and everyone involved in it, calling it a great show and everyone involved a great bunch of wrestlers. Hogan tells the Hardcore Alumni that is apparently called EV2 to make their way to the ring for a celebration. Several names from the show make their way down to the ring including Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Bill Alfonso, Stevie Richards, Mick Foley and Little Guido. Dreamer gets on the mic and thanks Hulk Hogan before congratulating Rob Van Dam and paying his attention to the subject of Paul Heyman. Dreamer calls out Paul Heyman who does indeed make his way to the entrance ramp with Eric Bischoff. Dreamer simply asks Heyman why he did what he did and Heyman goes on a rant about how He once loved the company that he owned and built up to a national level. He says that his love of Hardcore Wrestling died the day ECW returned as a “c list brand” that featured legendary hardcore wrestlers losing their careers to jersey shore rejects. Heyman continues his rant by saying that if it wasn’t enough, Tommy Dreamer had to come to TNA and try once again to recreate the thing he once loved more than life it self and Heyman was just not going to allow for it to be destroyed once again. Heyman ends his rant by saying with the help of Eric Bischoff and the help of several TNA wrestlers, he is going to eliminate any trace of his company from TNA, At that point, the lights go out and when the come back on, all of the ECW names apart from RVD and Tommy Dreamer have been knocked out by Fortune who are carrying weapons. Hogan who is now on the outside of the ring is arguing with Bischoff and Heyman as Flair joins in yelling at Hogan only to be punched to the floor. Fortune eliminate RVD easily before once again hitting their finishers on Tommy Dreamer to close the show. |

-Powerful way to start with Kurt Angle going over AJ Styles.
-Rayne over Love is fine. It's a good call either way though I like Love better.
-Morgan over Dinero and Anderson is most likely the right call since he's the heel and would most likely be more opportunistic.
-Not real big on Burchill over Hardy. Hope that you don't let Hardy just die down but it's a good debut for him.
-MCMG over Beer Money is good to end the Best of Five Tournament.
-RVD over Abyss sounded brutal. RVD retaining was a good call. Wonder if RVD is injured thus setting up the tournament.
-Good show; lots I'm looking forward to next week.

First off, I like the look of the layout as it flows beautifully while at the same time looking different than others. I think the look and the addition of your writing ability just goes hand-in-hand where you're able to pull off excellently written shows. I enjoyed how you went different directions with a few things (Rayne/Love, Birchill/Hardy) as it adds your own little spin on things where you can do what you want with those angles.
Second off, the only problem (well, not really a problem) is that you didn't really continue the storyline with The Beautiful People/The Mystery Woman/Angelina Love. I wasn't sure if maybe you just didn't include anything with or if you had dropped the storyline, just wanted to mention that.
Over all, it was a good show with great writing. The ending had to be the best pat of it (for me) and I look forward to seeing where you go with it from here on out.

Oaky my racist friend, let us see what we have here.
Kurt Angle taking on AJ Styles is a powerful way to kick off the show and a tremendous way to hook some channel surfers. I am torn about how I feel about Angle going over. AJ should have never lost the title in the first place, so it sucks to see him in the position he is in, but it makes more sense for Angle to go over. I like Madison Rayne, a lot more than Angelina Love, so I like that she was able to retain the title. I am a little bummed to see you are continuing with this stupid biker chick angle. “The ‘interview/promo free’ special edition of Impact” – that made me giggle. Matt Morgan defeating Mr. Anderson and D’Angelo Dinero is fine as I do like Morgan. Morgan can be a dominant force if booked correctly. I also love your writing style. Saying things like, “Again, another match that didn’t get a lot of time, the main event must be getting a lot of time tonight” makes me feel like I am reading spoilers, which is a cool feel. I really do love the tension growing between D’Angelo Dinero and Mista Anderson. OH NOOOOZZZZZ JEFF HARDY LOST!1!1! I love that Paul Burchill won the match and the dusty finish made it better. Jeff Hardy should be putting people over and I hope this feud does that. Motor City Machine Guns retaining against Beer Money to win the Best of Five series is really good. I would be lying if I said I would have liked Abyss to win the main event, but it is your diary and I trust you will do something special with Van Dam as champion. The closing segment was well brilliant! I am really excited to see how the Fortune/EV2 feud evolves from here.
