TNA: Impact Wrestling.

Episode Two.

Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida.

10/03/17

The crowd are cheering, the theme is blaring from the speakers and the camera's are rolling! TNA, Impact Wrestling is once again live from Orlando! Jim Ross and Taz welcome the fans to sunny Orlando, Florida, at the Impact Zone! "JR" thanks the crowd for making TNA's relaunch and first episode of Impact Wrestling under the Anthem banner a success last week and thanks them for their support and once more tuning in again this week. He announces himself and his partner- the ECW legend, the "Suplex Machine", Taz! Taz thanks the legendary Jim Ross for the introduction and says that the Impact fans are in for another good night of wrestling action, tonight! A graphic then appears on the big screen and Jim Ross announces that for the first time- Two giants of Impact Wrestling- Moose and the returning "Blueprint"- Matt Morgan will go one on one in the Impact Zone! He also announces that the TNA Tag Team Championship tournament will continue and speculates who will join the Wolves and the Motor City Machine Guns in the next round of matches? Taz begins to speculate but before he could say anymore..

"Frijolero" sounds from the speakers and the crowd pop as Alberto El Patron steps out on to the stage. El Patron is dressed in a smart suit and with a microphone in hand. Alberto makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the crowd at the Impact Zone. El Patron enters the ring and immediately thanks the crowd for their support and welcome last week. Alberto says that he's found a home here in TNA and announces that moments ago with Double J, Jeff Jarrett and his Wife, Karen. He has a signed a contract with TNA, Impact Wrestling! *Crowd pop* Alberto then talks about the match last week with the TNA World Champion- Bobby Lashley! Alberto says that it was an amazing match- him and Bobby- tore the house down.. However, he should be standing here as the new, TNA, World Heavyweight Champion!

*Footage plays on the "Tron" showing Senior Official- Earl Hebner being knocked down by Bobby's Spear which El Patron narrowly avoided. It then shows El Patron hitting Bobby with a "Backstabber" before landing a Super-Kick and covering for the Three*

El Patron shakes his head as the footage finishes. Alberto goes on to say that he does not blame the Referee and he does not blame anyone, not even Bobby for taking advantage. El Patron says these things can happen at anytime and he respects that.. However, he deserves another chance and that if Lashley really wants to prove he can beat El Patron, without any controversy, then it should be El Patron vs Bobby Lashley for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship! Tonight! *Crowd Pop* El Patron then works up the crowd and ask's for Bobby to come out here so they can make the match official for tonight.



"Trouble" blares from the speakers and the crowd responds with boo's as Ethan Carter III comes out and instantly begins to speak. He says that El Patron has been in Impact Wrestling for Two minutes and he's already sick of him! "EC3" says that all week he's heard nothing but El Patron this, Alberto that and he's had enough! He says as for the controversy last week in the Championship match? That's nothing! The real controversy is how the shining light of Impact Wrestling, Ethan Carter III was not even on the damn show! "EC3" says that they got rid of his Auntie Dixie, but they're not going to get rid of Ethan Carter III because he is the future of this business! "EC3" says El Patron should forget about Bobby, should forget about the TNA World Heavyweight Championship because he lost last week- that's the facts and now goes right to the back of the queue and the line starts behind the top man, Ethan Carter! *Crowd boo* Ethan continues to speak and says though if El Patron really wants a match tonight.. He's got one for him, against an old acquaintance that they both know very well.

"Under Attack" Out steps the big man, Tyrus, who shakes Ethan's hand and immediately the duo begin walking down the ramp, headed to the Impact Zone. Jim Ross & Taz hype up the off the cuff match that's about to happen and confirms that El Patron is not even dressed to compete but Alberto is not stepping down. Referee Robert King then runs down the ramp, slides into the ring and calls for the ring bell as the match begins.

Match One - Alberto El Patron vs Tyrus W/ Ethan Carter III

El Patron (W) - The match was close run. The bigger man Tyrus kept El Patron grounded and trapped through out- often picking him part using his size and weight to his advantage. On the outside, "EC3" would play his part, trash talking El Patron at every chance. Alberto would pick up the win though, Tyrus charging at him as Alberto would move and Tyrus would hit the ring post pretty hard in the ring. El Patron would then land a Super-Kick that would rock Tyrus and before he would fall down- El Patron would place him in the "Cross-Arm Breaker" and Tyrus would begin to tap as El Patron would get the Submission Victory!

Post-Match, "EC3" would enter the ring and put boots to El Patron, beating on him. Tyrus would then join in and both would do a real number on the Mexican icon. Tyrus would land a big splash on El Patron before "EC3" would finish him with "One Percenter" as the show went to it's first commercial break of the evening.

Match Two - Rockstar Spud vs Trevor Lee W/ Shane Helms & Everett.

Trevor Lee (W) - The match went 3 to 4 minutes of fast paced X-Division action with Spud given his best shot but ultimately falling short to the impressive X-Divsion Champ- Trevor Lee. Lee would be cheered on by his mentor and partner, Shane Helms & Andrew Everett respectively before picking up the victory with "Orange Crush" and covering for the three.

Post-Match, Shane Helms would enter the ring and would talk about his student and TNA's X-Division Champion, Trevor Lee! Helms would go on to say that Destination X is approaching and that the X-Division Championship will be at stake in the Ultimate X match against three other men. Helms would go on to say that he's not worried at all because he's got the best two X-Division guys under his wing and with me at their side, they cannot fail and Trevor Lee will retain his Championship at Destination X. Helms would then also talk about Destination X being the night that the Helms Dynasty truly arrives because Trevor will be on double duty as next week his boys will enter the vacant TNA Tag Team Championship Tournament and will come out victorious!

The camera then goes backstage where we see a raging Alberto El Patron walking backstage. He reaches the office of Karen and Jeff Jarret before knocking the door loudly and walking in. Jarrett says.. "Alberto, what's up amigo?" Alberto is in no mood for pleasantries and ask's if Jarrett seen what happened to him earlier after his match with Tyrus? El Patron says he wants Ethan Carter tonight and Bobby Lashley will have to wait for another day.

Jarrett says that he did see what happened and he can see why Alberto is annoyed. Jarrett says that tonight he has some huge, amazing announcements to make that's going to change IMPACT Wrestling forever and will address the Lashley/El Patron situation out there. He says how about this though.. tonight you are going to team up with Bobby Lashley and in the Main Event you will face Ethan Carter and Tyrus, how about that says "Double J" as El Patron looks surprised. Alberto then replies.. "Okay, Si, I'll team with Bobby tonight, no problem. I'm going to show that perro Ethan that you don't cross, Alberto El Patron!" - El Patron then exits "Double J's" office as the live footage returns to the IMPACT Zone at ringside.

Match Three - The BroMans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz vs The Decay (Crazy Steve & Abyss) W/ Rosemary.

Decay (W) - The BroMans would come close but every time they had momentum Rosemary would be a major factor on the outside with distractions and mind games. Crazy Steve would leap out of the ring and take down both Jessie & Robbie with a crossbody plancha before rolling Jessie back in the ring for Abyss. Abyss would allow Jessie to stand back up using the turnbuckle's for leverage before charging at him with a splash and then picking up the victory with a "Black Hole Slam" and covering for the victory. One! Two! Three!

Jim Ross would remind us that the Decay will now join the Wolves and the recently returned Motor City Machine Guns in the next round of the tournament. Taz will say that he has the Decay as the favorites and wonders who can stop them? Especially with Rosemary at their side.



"Gaaaaiillll.. Oh, Gaaiiillll.. Are you watching? Are you scared yet, Gail Kim? You want my Knockout Championship and you want to face me? *laughs* Oh.. Gail, you should be really careful what you ask for, because, you might just get what you want and what you're going to get makes others scared, it makes others cry, it makes others run.. Are you going to be any different Gail Kim? I hope so! It could be so much fun! Gail Kim.. After I'm done with you.. You.. Will... DEEEECCAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!" Rosemary then starts to begin laughing manically as Crazy Steve and Abyss join in. "JR" then talks about this group and says that Rosemary is perhaps the worst of the three and Gail Kim is going up against the devil at Destination X. Taz says that Gail Kim is as tough as they come and that the TNA Hall of Famer willl be ready for anything!

......................................................................................

The Live footage returns from the commercial break and to the Impact Zone where the theme of Jeff Jarrett's "My World" is playing as the Director of Wrestling Operations steps out on to the stage and makes his way down the ramp as the crowd are cheering.



"Double J" thanks the crowd for their support and thanks them once again for there welcoming return home last week. Jeff says that he's not often an emotional man but that was special and he will never forget it. He says that there is no doubt about it. TNA Impact Wrestling has the best fans in the world and that's why he's delighted to announce that he's got some major news that's going to make sure that TNA is the company to watch in 2017 and going forward. Jarrett says that like you fans, I want to see the best wrestlers in the world compete here in the Impact zone and while he knows there's massive competition out there in securing some of the best talent around the globe he's struck a deal with some major promotions that will see talent trade's internationally that will make sure that TNA does not miss out on the must see talents of the future!

"Double J" would go on to say that him, his Wife, Karen and a few of his most trusted friends and allies have been jetting around the globe, from Mexico to Japan and have struck deals and an international partnership with two of the biggest promotions in wrestling! Jeff Jarrett says that with the backing of TNA Owners and the support of Ed Nordholm, the Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports & Entertainment they have secured working agreements with Mexico's Triple A Lucha Libre Worldwide Promotion and Japan's, New Japan Wrestling Promotion!!

The crowd pop like crazy as Jarrett smiles before continuing his words. I cannot stress just how big of a deal this is and the opportunities it will open up in the future! Off course it will mean that at times some of our best talent will go to Triple A or New Japan from time to time but it's a working strategy that will benefit everyone, given each of us global promotion outside of our own territory's and to mark the occasion I am delighted to announce that RICOCHET will be the first man to arrive from New Japan Pro Wrestling and will do so at Destination X and will compete in the Ultimate x match while Drago and Aero Star will arrive from AAA wrestling promotion and will compete next week in the vacant Tag Team Championship Tournament! This will see Eli Drake head to Mexico while Bram will head to Japan. It's exciting times!

Global Force Wrestling! *Crowd cheers* Now some of you might be familiar with the name and that my plans were to start my own company, believing that there would be no return for me and my family here in Impact Wrestling. How wrong was I? I'm happy to announce that as of next week, Global Force Wrestling will merge with IMPACT Wrestling! This will mean that we will have even more talent to choose from, even more competition and due to this, I am also pleased to announce that in the coming weeks we will see the return of the TNA Global Championship!

The crowd cheer as Jeff Jarret takes a deep breath before announcing that finally, that brings him on to the situation that developed last week between TNA World Heavyweight Champion- Bobby Lashley and the challenger- Alberto El Patron! "Double J" says that both men put on a great match but sadly it came with controversy. Jeff says that while El Patron has a claim that he should be TNA World Champion and with Bobby being the ultimate fighting Champion- We will see the rematch at Destination X! Thank you and enjoy the show!

The crowd are cheering for the multiple announcements as Jeff Jarrett exits the six sided ring and makes his way up the ramp. "JR" and Taz hype up the announcements and the potential arrival of wrestlers from Mexico and Japan. They also talk about the return of the TNA Global Championship and the competition from within after the merge with Global Force Wrestling! "JR" then talks about our Main Event tonight and if Bobby and El Patron can stay on the same page ahead of their Championship match at Destination X! Taz then announces that up next it's the clash of the big men! It's the Blueprint- Matt Morgan vs Moose!

Match Four - Moose vs Matt Morgan.

Matt Morgan (W) - The match would be explosive with Morgan and Moose often trying to out do the other with various power moves and poses. Both big men would have spells of dominance in the match but the end would come with Moose missing Morgan with a big boot and getting caught up in the turnbuckle. Matt Morgan would then nail him with the "Carbon Footprint" before covering and winning the match. One! Two! Three!

Post-Match, Morgan would celebrate on the outside with the crowd before Moose would attack him from behind with a forearm strike and then swing him into the steel steps as the Orlando crowd boo'd Moose heavily. Moose would trash talk Morgan and announce that he's the MAN around here and that Matt Morgan is not welcome in his company.

...............................................................................

The live footage would return from the break and would head to the Impact Interview area where SoCal Val was standing by..



"Impact Fans, my guest at this time.. Aron Rex! Aron, thanks for joining me at this time.." Said SoCal Val as Rex walked into the picture with a smug grin on his face. He would state that the pleasure was all hers and the lucky viewing buffoons that we call TNA fans. Rex would state that he can only spare a moment of his time because quite frankly he's a busy man and the masses are not going to educate themselves! SoCal would be taken back by the words of Aron Rex before talking about last week and this change of attitude from him. She would mention that Aron spoke last week about ridding TNA from "ignorance and idiocy" and he even talked about missing New York and another promotion.

SoCal Val ask's Aron if he feels he's showing a lack of respect for the company he now works for after his words? Aron Rex laughs before going to speak when the crowd give another cheer as Producer and TNA Trainer- Al Snow walks into the picture and says that what Rex said last week didn't go unnoticed and what he did to Grado was unneeded as well. Al Snow says that he's old school and despite any negatives he has about this company, he loves TNA and he loves working for them. He also loves the TNA fans and it's over his dead body that someone like Rex comes in here and disrespects these things. Snow says that if Aron Rex is man enough, he will see him in the ring next week and will teach him some respect.

Rex and Snow just stare at each other before Aron Rex walks away with a smile on his face as Al Snow apologies to SoCal Val as the camera fades away and brings us back to the commentary table. Taz agree's completely with Al Snow and applauds him for standing up for this business against people like Aron Rex who have no passion or desire to be here aside from picking up a pay check. "JR" agree's but suggests that Rex is a talented wrestler despite his personal flaws and Al Snow should be careful in there. "JR" then announces it's time for Knockout's action!

Match Five - Sienna vs Brooke.

Sienna (W) - The crowd were fully behind the beautiful Brooke but the bigger and more powerful Sienna would pick up the victory in an impressive outing. She would nail Brooke with a "Discus from Detroit" before picking her up and dropping her with the "AK47" and covering for the victory! One! Two! Three! Sienna would then pose and motion that she wants the Championship.

................................................................................

As we return back from the break we are backstage where Jeremy Borash is standing alongside Cody and his wife- Brandi Rhodes.



"JB" highlights how beautiful Brandi looks this evening before thanking Cody for his time. Cody says that "JB" is welcome before agreeing that his wife is looking stunning tonight. Borash then says Cody, I want to get your thoughts on last week and that situation with James Storm? Cody smiles before saying that he has no issue with James Storm and in fact, he respects him. Cody says just like he respects everyone that came before him and built this company from the ground up. Cody says he understands James Storn and that he actually agree's with him- too many people have come here from other companies to get a pay-check and to move up the ladder quickly on reputation without any passion or desire but that's not me.. I'm different. Cody says that unlike most- he grew up in this business and he loves it. He's come here to TNA to prove people wrong, to live the dream and become the best wrestler in the world today! It's cliche but he's come here to make an IMPACT and he will.. Cody says that people like Storm can doubt him- but he will prove everyone wrong. He says he's Cody Rhodes and he's going to live the DREAM.

Cody then thanks "JB" as Brandi just smiles before the married couple leave the interview pit and exit as Borash hands back over to the commentary team. "JR" says he's known Cody Rhodes for many, many years, since he was a boy and there's not many people that have more passion for this business then him! Jim Ross says that Cody is going to be a massive player for IMPACT Wrestling now and in the future! Taz agree's and says that while Storm might doubt Cody, he does not and he's knows how good Cody Rhodes is and can be! "JR" then announces that it's time for our Main Event of the evening! El Patron will team with TNA World Champion- Bobby Lashley to face Tyrus and Ethan Carter III

Main Event Match - Ethan Carter III & Tyrus vs Bobby Lashley & Alberto El Patron.

Pre-Match, Bobby would come down first and would grab a microphone to discuss his unhappiness with teaming with El Patron. Bobby says it's not personal but he doesn't need anyone and has been dragged into El Patron's business when he should be resting tonight after successfully defending his TNA World Championship last week. Bobby says that El Patron should grab a seat and watch because he's got this!

Bobby Lashley & El Patron (W) - The match was really close with both teams coming close on a couple of occasions. There was clear tension between El Patron with Bobby totally against the idea of teaming with Alberto and it would often lead to Bobby trying to win the match on his own as Tyrus and "EC3" would take advantage. The ending would come with "EC3" being super-kicked of the ring apron by El Patron as Alberto would chant "SI! SI! SI!" as the crowd joined in as Alberto was lining up to lock the "Cross-Arm-Breaker" on Tyrus. Bobby though would slap Alberto on the back as the Referee recognized the tag. Bobby then entered the ring and cut down Tyrus in half with a "SPEAR!" before covering for the pin. One! Two! Three!

Post-Match, Bobby & El Patron would be in argument as Alberto was not happy that Lashley stole the moment and finish from him. Bobby says that he didn't need El Patron and ask's him to get out of his ring. It looks like the two are about to come to blows when El Patron throws up his arm's and exits the ring with a scowl across his face. Bobby then smiles but is not smiling for long as he is then jumped 2 on 1 by "EC3" and the big man- Tyrus. Bobby tries to fight back but the numbers game are too much. El Patron is already at the top of the ramp before he see's what's going on. He then sprints down the ring and slides underneath the ropes before fighting off Tyrus and "EC3" as the flee the ring. Bobby looks up on one knee as El Patron holds out his hand. Bobby reluctantly grabs it and shakes the hand of El Patron as another episode of TNA IMPACT Wrestling comes to a finish and fades to black.

Episode Three.

Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida.

17/03/17


A pre-taped vignette begins to play before TNA is live for another episode of Impact Wrestling! It showcases clips and highlights from last weeks show including the vacant TNA Tag Team Championship tournament and the blockbuster announcements from Jeff Jarrett and the partnership with Mexico’s AAA and Japan’s- New Japan Pro Wrestling! It confirms that Ricochet for will debut at Destination X while Aero Star and Drago will debut tonight!

The pre-taped vignette then finishes with last week’s Main Event action where Bobby Lashley & Alberto El Patron were forced to team against Ethan Carter III & Tyrus. The focus highlights Bobby’s reluctance to team with Alberto and attempts to win the match on his own. The final clips are off the World Champion slapping El Patron on the back, entering the ring and stealing the win via a spear on Tyrus. It would then show Alberto & Lashley arguing in the ring over the match ending as Alberto would exit and head up the ramp. “EC3” & Tyrus would then attack Bobby and he would be left for dead until El Patron would make a U-turn with the crowd cheering and would make the save, seemingly earning the respect of Bobby Lashley as the two would reluctantly shake hands to end the show.




Impact Wrestling is now live and the crowd in attendance are cheering as Jim Ross welcomes us to the Impact Zone here in Universal Studies, Orlando, Florida! “JR” then announces that alongside him is the “Suplex Machine” Taz! Taz thanks the fans for tuning in and says that he couldn’t be happier once again alongside the legendary Jim Ross ready to call some hard-hitting Impact action!

DOMINATION!!

The theme of “Walking Armageddon” sounds and out steps the dominant TNA World Heavyweight Champion to a mixed response from the Orlando crowd. Bobby is wearing his MMA shirt, headband and jeans with his Championship shining across his shoulder as he headed to the ring. Bobby Lashley would now be in the ring, microphone in hand, ready to speak.

“Alberto! You know what, man? I didn’t want to team with you because I don’t need anybody, I’m the man! This is my stomping ground and I’ve dominated the competition since my arrival. I’ve beaten everyone there is to beat and there is nobody that can stand alongside me as an equal but you showed last week that you’re a real man!

You could have turned your back, you could have shown to be a coward and sulked that you didn’t win the match and I DID!! However, I respect you coming down and having my back against Tyrus and Ethan Carter III last week but I want you to know, that was a one time deal.. I don’t need your help, I don’t want your help, I don’t need ANYBODY! So at Destination X, ain’t nothing changed Alberto, I’ll beat you and defend my World Championship proving once again that while your name might be El Patron.. I’M THE BOSS! I’M THE DESTROYER! I’M BOBBY LASHLEY!”

TROUBLE!!

The crowd boo in cohesion as the theme song of “EC3” plays from the speakers and out steps the arrogant one shaking his head and wagging his finger at Bobby’s words. Ethan has a microphone in hand and begins to speak. He says that Bobby can keep throwing out these ridiculous nicknames because they’re worthless, they don’t mean anything. Ethan says there’s only one name in wrestling that means anything at all and that’s the name of Carter! “EC3” says that’s something that Bobby and Alberto will never be and so in comparison, they will always be inferior because the Carter name is wrestling! Ethan says that last week it was real cute seeing Alberto come down and make the save but it showed that Bobby is weak and is on borrowed time as Champion!

Ethan says Bobby will think he could have handled it and didn’t want Alberto’s help but he needed it! Ethan goes on as the crowd continue booing his words and says that as for Destination X, he shouldn’t be so sure he’s going to successfully defend his World Championship because he’s got a match against Alberto in tonight’s Main Event, one on one! And when he beats El Patron, He’s going straight to the Jarrett’s and will demand that he take Alberto’s place because he knows that he can beat Bobby Lashley and take back his World Championship!

…………………………………………………………………..

Match One – The Helms Dynasty W/ Shane Helms vs Aero Star & Drago.

Aero Star & Drago (W) – Intrigue surrounded the duo of Aero Star & Drago making their Impact debuts and they didn’t disappoint putting on a good display of high flying X-Division and mixed it with fast paced tag team action. The match went 5-6 minutes and was close with the Helms Dynasty playing their part in the action! It would finish with Aero Star flying out of the ring and landing a suicide dive to both Trevor Lee and Shane Helms on the outside while in the ring Drago picked up the win via a Flip Pile-driver on Andrew Everett and pinning for the three!

Post-match, Jim Ross and Taz put over the ability of the newcomers Aero Star & Drago and that with the talent exchange opportunities available, it’s going to be exciting times here at the Impact Zone! They also confirm that Aero Star & Drago will join Motor City Machine Guns, The Wolves and The Decay in the next round of the vacant TNA Tag Team Championship tournament.

The camera then switches backstage where The Wolves and The Motor City Machine Guns are both surrounding a Tv monitor backstage and seem impressed by what they’ve just seen from Aero Star & Drago, clearly scouting the competition. Jeremy Borash then enters the picture and apologises for the interruption but wants to get the thoughts of Edwards, Davey Richards, Alex Shelly and Sabin on the AAA newcomers and fellow opponents, The Decay!

The Wolves speak first and announce the competition is strong but it’s no more than they expected and that when it comes to wanting those Championships, there is no team hungrier than The Wolves and they’re going to prove that at Destination X! Next up it’s the turn of “MCMG” and they agree with both Richards and Edwards regarding the competition but say that’s why they’re back, to compete with and beat some of the best teams in the world and become TNA Tag Team Champions once more!

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife but Borash remains professional and confirms that tonight Davey Richards and Chris Sabin are two men involved in a Fatal Four Way match where the winner will enter the Ultimate X match at Destination-X and have the chance to compete for the X-Division Championship as well as possibly challenging for the Tag team Championships. Jeremy asks for the thoughts of Davey and Sabin but instead both men go face to face and shake hands before walking their separate ways with their partners as Jeremy Borash confirmed the Fatal Four way to come tonight with two other unknown at this time competitors.

Match Two: Gail Kim vs Madison Rayne.

Gail Kim (W) – The match went 4 to 5 minutes and the Impact fans were fully behind Gail Kim as she battled hard against Madison Rayne. The match would come to an end with Rayne looking to land Rayne Check only for Kim to block, boot Rayne in the stomach and then finish the match with Eat Defeat! Gail Kim would then hook the legs and cover. One! Two! Three!

Post-Match, Kim would be posing victorious with the Referee raising her arm in victory before gesturing that she’s coming for the Knockouts Championship! Suddenly a scream would be heard across the arena and through the PA system before the voice of TNA Knockouts Champion- Rosemary, could be heard.

“Gail.. Oh, Gaaiiilll… Are you watching? A friend has come to plaaayyyyy, I’m so excited Gail… She’s come to DEEECCCAAAYYYYY!”

The Tron would then go live and a confused Gail Kim would watch on. Suddenly a scared to death Allie would be shown in the arms of the Monster Abyss as he clutched her tightly, allowing no escape. Crazy Steve tilting and crooking his head at the camera as he stares. Kim begins to panic in the ring when Rosemary then appears on the screen with a sick smile across her face.




“Hello, Gail. Can you see my friend? Isn’t Allie so pretty, isn’t she wonderful? She’s almost perfect but not quite! With my help, she could be! But she would rather struggle and scream, hoping that a hero will come and save her! Gail.. Are you that hero? Will you come and rescue Allie? Hurry Gail! You’re running out of time!! 5 minutes before… DEECCAAAAAYYYYYYY!”

Gail Kim then exits and sprints up the ramp and heads backstage as Jim Ross and Taz fear for Allie but suggest this could be a trap for Gail Kim. “JR” announces we’re heading to a commercial but a camera crew is trying to catch up with Gail Kim backstage.


> > COMMERCIAL < <

……………………………………………………………….

Before the live feed returns to Impact Wrestling we see a commercial airing for Destination X and highlighting the Ultimate X match. It shows various winners like Chris Sabin, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian to name a few. The Voice over then asks who will be next when the video package skips and It then shows clips of Ricochet from New Japan Pro Wrestling!




“Destination X, the Future of Flight arrives! Who’s next? Me! You’re looking at the next X-Division Champion! Get ready, I’m coming!”

Destination X – Ricochet Arrives!

The footage then finishes, and we are once again live on air with Impact Wrestling and we are backstage. The camera is shaky, and it becomes clear that the camera crew are running to try and locate Gail Kim as Jim Ross and Taz welcome us back from the break and confirm that Gail Kim has gone in search of The Decay to once again rescue Allie!

The camera crew eventually catches up with Kim and one member of the crew calls her name, but she shushes him and just stares down a long dark hallway. Kim looks nervous, clearly worried about this being a trap but begins to make her way down the hallway, step by step. She calls out Allie’s name a couple of times but hears nothing back. Kim then takes a few more steps the laugh of Rosemary can be heard. Kim then looks down and appears to pick up a pipe off the floor and takes a few more steps forward. She’s now at the end of the hallway and steps into a large room where a swinging light barely illuminates the steps in front of her. Kim continues and suddenly the lights come on and the room is fully lit for all to see. Allie is tied up and gagged to a chair.

Kim throws the pipe and rushes to help, freeing her and telling her to get out and find safety! As that happens, the Monster Abyss appears from around the corner with Crazy Steve and both are staring and approaching Gail Kim. Kim then turns to run but when she does, the lights go out again. When they come back on, Rosemary is stood with a sick smile on her face and has “Janice” in her hand, the 2x4 wood with nails and swings for Kim. Gail moves out of the way and “Janice” sticks to the wall with a crash! Just missing Kim. Rosemary tries to pull out the 2x4 when Kim would take her down with a tackle and both women would begin brawling on the floor and the fight was on!

Crazy Steve and Abyss would approach when yelling would be heard from the Hallway in the form of Karen Jarrett and various security members. Crazy Steve would push Gail Kim off of Rosemary as the Monster Abyss would scoop up the Knockouts Champion and the Decay would exit as the lights would go out once more to aid them. When they came back on, a fired up Kim would now be stood with Karen Jarrett who would send security to find Decay and would ask Kim what happened? Gail Kim would say that she’s sick of The Decay and she’s sick of Rosemary and her sick games! Gail Kim says that she’s going to end Rosemary’s reign of terror and she’s going to do it the Decay way! Karen Jarrett asks Gail Kim want she means when Kim says that she wants Rosemary at Destination-X in a MONSTERS BALL MATCH! The crowd in attendance pop as Karen looks stunned while Gail Kim storms out of the room.

Match Three: James Storm vs Grado.

James Storm (W) – The “Cowboy” wrestled with a real chip on his shoulder and was aggressive from the get-go with the Scottish Grado. Storm and Grado would battle for about 4-5 minutes before James Storm would end the match with a Last Call before covering for the pin! One! Two! Three!

Post-Match, the commentary team would play up how aggressive Storm was during the match and that Grado didn’t get a chance. Taz speculates if Storm was maybe sending a message to Cody Rhodes? “JR” agrees that could be the case when Storm gets on the microphone.

The “Cowboy” says that he heard Cody loud and clear last week on Impact and wants him to know that he might respect me, but I don’t respect him! Storm says that just because you’ve got a famous last name and you came from the big promotion up north, that means jack crap around here kid because this is my town, I’m the sheriff around here and I’m the gatekeeper of Impact Wrestling! The crowd are mixed on the words of Storm but the “Cowboy” continues speaking. You want to prove you’re not just another WWE reject, down here for a quick buck, then I’m calling you out boy!! Showdown is at Destination-X Cody, have you got the balls, kid? If you can hang with me, if I don’t send you back packing back to where you came from, then you know what, maybe you’re right? Let’s see what you got Cody, me and you at Destination-X and when I beat you.. Well.. I’M SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!!

The crowd are mixed as James Storm throws the microphone and exits the ring, heading up the ramp and back to the back. “JR” confirms the challenge and says that he knows Cody Rhodes will be in the Impact Zone for the final stop before Destination-X next week! Taz says that he hopes we get Cody’s answer because Cody Rhodes vs James Storm would be epic!

Match Four: Al Snow vs Aron Rex.

Pre-Match, Al Snow would come down and would look in great shape as Jim Ross and Taz would remind us of the situation that went down a couple of weeks where Snow took exception to how Aron Rex embarrassed Grado and didn’t respect TNA Wrestling. “JR” would remind us that Snow challenged Rex to a match tonight and that he promised to beat some respect in Rex and humble him.

The theme of Aron Rex would play a couple of times, but Rex wouldn’t show and the crowd would begin to boo. Snow would ask the Referee what’s going on when suddenly he would be jumped from behind by Aron Rex with a forearm strike to the back of the head. Rex would then stomp down and beat on Snow as the Referee attempted to pull him off Al Snow. Rex would be dressed in a suit and appeared clearly not ready to compete and had no desire to wrestle as the attack continued. The Referee would call of the match and would then call down help from the back for Al Snow.

Result – No Contest!

Aron Rex would watch on as Al Snow received aid from the backstage medical team. Rex would then grab a microphone from a ringside worker before speaking his mind.

“Allow me to beg your indulgence for one moment!”

The crowd are booing, and Aron Rex appears to lose patience.

“Orlando, I am talking and so you should all be listening! I am here for your benefit to educate the masses! Two weeks ago, on Impact, it was a glorious night as I started my crusade to rid TNA of the performing buffoon they call Grado! We should now be firmly on to the path of enlightenment, but one dinosaur of the wrestling industry took exception and his name is Al Snow!

A man who made a career of running around with a plastic doll and asking everyone if they wanted head? No, Mr Snow, we don’t need head but you and these people, you all need some brains and you need some manners because you need to understand that I am doing this for your benefit and I will not tolerate this any longer! Let this be a lesson to you Mr Snow! Next time I will be not so understanding! YOU’RE WELCOME!”




“JR” and Taz berate the actions of Aron Rex and say that they doubt that Aron Rex has heard the last of Al Snow with actions like that. Taz describes Rex as a coward while Jim Ross agrees. Ross then reminds us that still to come we have the Four Way X-Division match where Davey Richards and Chris Sabin will compete alongside two other unnamed men where the winner will enter the Ultimate X match at Destination-X! Taz says it’s going to be great before then reminding us that we also have our Main Event of the night as El Patron will go one on one with Ethan Carter III. Jim Ross then announces that we are going backstage though as Christy Hemme is standing by with Moose!

Hemme welcomes her guest at this time, Moose. The crowd boo as Moose just rolls his eyes and begins to smile. Christy Hemme says that reaction from the crowd is likely down to Moose and his actions after the match last week when he attacked Matt Morgan! Hemme then asks Moose for his thoughts and Moose is quick to give them. He says it’s simple, Matt Morgan is not welcome here! He says there’s only room for one big man and he’s the biggest and baddest around, his name is Moose! Moose says that if Morgan has any sense, he should get out of his yard or he’ll stomp him again!

……………………………………………………………………………….

Impact returns from the break and we are in the interview area where Jeremy Borash is joined by Shane Helms, Andrew Everett and the X-Division Champion- Trevor Lee! Borash welcomes the Helms Dynasty but before he can ask anything, Shane Helms speaks over him. Helms says that tonight was disappointing as he watched his boys crash out of the vacant TNA Tag Team Championship Tournament but it’s nothing more than a speed bump on the road to Destination X! Shane says that they wanted to win the Tag Championships and one day they will, but now it’s about the X-Division Championship and keeping it within the Helms Dynasty camp! Shane says that him, Andrew and the Champ will be watching this next match with interest, but it doesn’t matter who wins because at Destination X, our Champion- Trevor Lee walks out of the Ultimate X match with the Championship!

Match Five: Chris Sabin vs Davey Richards vs DJZ vs Low Ki

Low Ki (W) – The crowd popped for the Impact return of X-Division Favourite Low Ki as the four men stole the show and gave the crowd match of the night. All four men went all out to show that the X-Division is firmly at the heart of this new TNA Impact launch and is must see action! Jim Ross and Taz would hype the match as it was a highlight reel of fast paced and a high flying action. There was an undertone of the Tag Team Tournament rivalry between Sabin and Richards as they seemed more intent on beating each other where Low Ki was solely focused on the match and would pick up the win by hitting DJZ with the Warriors Way and scoring with the pin! One! Two! Three!

Post-match, the crowd would celebrate and cheer the return of the “Warrior” Low Ki as he would have his hand raised in victory. Jim Ross would confirm that Low Ki will now enter the Ultimate X match and will compete at Destination X for the X-Division Championship! Taz would then remind us that Low Ki will join the match and compete against the Champion- Trevor Lee and the debuting Ricochet!

The live footage then flashes backstage where we see Executive Producer and Director of Wrestling Operations- Jeff Jarrett. “Double J” is on the phone and appears in deep negotiations. He can be heard saying so “we’ve got a deal?” Before smiling. Jarrett then mouths “Great! We’ll I’ll see you at Destination X then. It will be great to have you back!” Jarrett then puts down the phone and smiles at the camera before telling the fans that Destination X is going to be a show that nobody wants to miss!

The footage now returns to the commentary booth where Jim Ross and Taz begin to speculate on who could be returning at Destination X? The duo then switch gears and confirm our Main Event of the evening is up next and it’s Ethan Carter III vs Alberto El Patron!

Main Event: Ethan Carter III W/ Tyrus vs Alberto El Patron.

Alberto El Patron (W) – El Patron and “EC3” put on a great match but it was the Mexican that came out on top despite Tyrus trying to help “EC3” on the outside. Ethan pushed El Patron to the limits but would get caught in the Cross-Arm Breaker and would be forced to tap out!

Post-match, before El Patron could release the hold the big man Tyrus would enter the ring and would begin to attack and beat down on Alberto. “EC3” was then back up and the 2 on 1 would begin and both men would beat down heavily on the TNA World Champion #1 Contender. The crowd would be booing and then a small chant would break out calling for Lashley! Taz would say that Lashley is in this business for himself and earlier on today that that it was a one-off that he would allow Alberto to help him and so isn’t going to help Alberto tonight! “JR” says that El Patron is getting beat down badly and might not make it to Destination X! As the crowd boo’s continued they soon turned to large cheers as DOMINATION! Sounded from the speakers and down came the “Destroyer” Bobby Lashley!

The TNA World Champion entered the ring like a house on fire and smashed into Tyrus with a devastating spear that took the big man completely off his feet. Bobby would then come for “EC3” who would eat a couple of fists before slipping away and exiting the ring. Impact would come to an end with Bobby helping El Patron off the mat as El Patron looked surprise. Bobby would then mouth “We’re equal” before he would exit the ring and the show would come to an end.
