TNA Impact Episode 3

  
- Welcome everyone to the last TNA Impact before our big PPV, Sacrifice! After the events of last week’s 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Match and the controversial finish that followed, tonight we’re going to have a Mr. Anderson facing no other than “Big Daddy Cool” Kevin Nash! Will Anderson finally get some revenge on The Main Event Mafia? Also, tonight we’ll see the debut of Matt Sydal, who’ll face The Bullet Club’s recent member, PJ Black! This debut comes when the rumours of a potential TNA-NJPW alliance are running wild on social media. Well, wait no more because tonight Jeff Jarrett will address the news! Don’t miss it! Coming up next, the debuting Young Bucks will face the ECW Originals Tazz & Sabu in a Hardcore Tag Team Match!



                                                              Match 1

  VS

-         As noted last week, the fans have been pushing the company to display more Hardcore style on their show and it seems management heard them. The match starts with a fast pace, with The Young Bucks, clearly mocking D-Generation X entrance and attires, showing their entire exciting arsenal.  Nick Jackson prevents Sabu from tagging in Tazz several times, hitting some nasty enzuigiri to the ECW Original and cornering him. The Young Bucks keep their flamboyant act but it has a cost as Sabu reversed a suplex and sent Matt Jackson to the ground outside. The perfect opportunity for the "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Man” to pick up the first weapon of the match, a steel chair and begins unloading on the cocky duo! 

-     After hitting a vicious shot to Matt outside, he quickly re-enters the ring and hits a brutal DDT on the chair on Nick Jackson, with the Buck barely kicking out. Sabu points to the sky and gets ready for the Arabian Facebuster but Matt Jackson is smart and pulls the ropes, leading to a Double Super Kick from The Young Bucks on a dizzy Sabu. 

-     Unfortunately for them, Sabu accidentally tags Tazz, who explodes on The Bullet Club members with a kendo stick, sending Nick flying to the outside. After avoiding another Super Kick attempt by Matt, "The Human Suplex Machine” hits a vicious Tazmission-Plex and set-ups the Tazmission but the always resourceful Bucks manage to escape it when Nick hits a springboard dropkick and finish it off with their famous More Bang for Your Buck finishing move! The Young Bucks win their debut match!

                                                         Winners: The Young Bucks

The Bullet Club members celebrate on the outside, doing several DX cross chops to the ECW Originals in the ring while shouting to “Suck it”. Always disrespectful to the very end.

                                                         

- We go backstage where Main Event Mafia is gathered on the locker room. Before the TNA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 starts talking, X-Pac appears, bringing a big welcome party to the former n.W.o member. X-Pac says he’s back and ready to put the band back together once more, something that EC3 seems pleased about. He says tonight it’s another opportunity to send a message to the whole locker room on who’s really in charge here: them! Kevin Nash interrupts and says that EC3 has nothing to worry about since his intel tells him Sting isn’t here tonight, most likely hiding and licking his wounds. He tells Carter to take the night off because The Band has it covered and they will teach that low-life Anderson a lesson he will never, ever forget. They all pose as the crowd boos.

                                                         

- We return to the broadcast team where Mike Tenay gives us breaking news! At TNA Sacrifice, the X-Division Championship will return! It’s been confirmed that the match to determine the new X-Division Champion will be a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match which will include PJ Black, John Morrison, X-Pac and Matt Sydal! Huge news for the fans! Also, still tonight there’s going to be an announcement about the TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match and it’s stipulation for Sacrifice! Stay tuned! Coming up, Diamond Dallas Page faces "The Prince of Parkour" John Morrison!

Match 2 –   VS 

-        The crowd boos DDP like never before, while both competitors lock early on. The match was all DDP showing his experience and a very nasty new side, aggressively punching Morrison all over the ring. Morrison valiantly tries to make a comeback but DDP is quick in stopping him on his tracks with a vicious lariat. The insane Page threatens the referee before resuming his assault but this time he encounters a fantastic enzuigiri by Morrison, followed by some strong kicks to the legs and ending with a devastating neckbreaker. 

-     John Morrison is fired up and goes for his well-known Springboard roundhouse kick which Dallas avoids but gets caught by surprise by a fast DDT followed by Morrison’s Running knee strike! DDP manages to barely escape the 3 count as Morrison sets up the Startship Pain. As the fans thought this would be the end, the experienced Dallas somehow manages to pulls the ropes, making Morrison lose his balance and fall on the turnbuckle.

-     DDP viciously assaults Morrison with several punches and foot chokes, completely disregarding the referee’s orders leading to the eventual disqualification.

                                                      Winner by DQ: John Morrison

- Dallas shoves the referee and continues the beatdown on Morrison, taunting the crowd and setting up a Piledriver.  Suddenly, Drew Galloway comes rushing down the ring, aiming for some revenge for what Dallas did to him last week. Again, DDP is fast enough to avoid Galloway and taunts from the ramp, as the Scottish superstar screams for him to enter the ring again.

                                                           

- We return to the broadcast team and more breaking news coming out! It’s been made official: Drew Galloway and Diamond Dallas Page will face each other at TNA Sacrifice in an Anything Goes Match! The heated rivarlry will meet an even more dangerous scenario this Sunday! Still tonight, a stipulation for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship match between champion Ethan Carter III and Sting will be revealed! Wait a second….

 

            

- Ladies and gentlemen, we getting word that there was a huge brawl backstage minutes ago between TNA Tag Team Champions Scott Steiner & Booker T and The Wolves! Apparently both teams went on each other as soon as they meet and the situation went completely out of control. Several officials and securities had to throw both teams out of the building in order to prevent further chaos! Things are surely getting extremely personal in TNA and it’s no different with these teams, who will be facing each other at Sacrifice for the TNA Tag Team Titles! Moving on, coming up we’re finally going to see the debut of “Reborn” Matt Sydal against the recent addition to The Bullet Club stable, PJ Black! That match is next!

Match 3 –   VS 

-        A great ovation to the always likable Matt Sydal, who has been making quite a name for himself over in NJPW. On the other hand, PJ Black is already on the fans blacklist but the young South African star doesn’t seem bothered by it and starts the match in style, with several reversals and outplaying Sydal in every way. Sydal and PJ share a smile with each other, knowing that this Sunday one of them could became the new X-Division Champion. Sydal and PJ show great athleticism and almost equal skills, countering every move until PJ shoved Sydal against the ropes and hit a nasty backbreaker. After that, PJ went to work on Sydal’s legs, hitting several knee slams and stomping it multiple times. As the crowd boos, PJ does the “Too Sweat” gesture before going for a running low dropkick which Sydal reverses and hits an insane Headscissors takedown, followed by a Shining wizard. 

-    The crowd begins to pop for Sydal as he sets up the Aftershock but PJ denies it and actually hits a Here It is Driver, a signature move from Sydal himself! 

-    Unfortunately for “The Darewolf” it wasn’t enough which made PJ climb the second tope and try to finish it up with the 450º Splash but this time it was Sydal who managed a counter, pulling his knees up and hitting the Here It is Driver followed by a breath-taking Shooting Star Press, earning the victory on his Impact debut!

                                                                Winner: Matt Sydal

- PJ Black is helped by fellow Bullet Club members The Young Bucks as Matt Sydal celebrates in the ring and signals that he wants the X-Division Championship, proving without a shadow of a doubt that his exciting style is a great addition to TNA!

                                          

- We return and we see Tommy Dreamer backstage, promoting his upcoming House of Hardcore show to several superstars. Suddenly Matt Hardy enters the room and stares at Dreamer. “The Innovator of Violence” greets him and tells him it’s great to be back and see all these familiar faces. Hardy cuts him off and asks him what is he doing, which Dreamer replies telling him that he’s inviting whoever wants to show up at his upcoming House of Hardcore show. He tells Matt that he already invited Jeff via e-mail but still need to hear from him. Matt Hardy gets angry and says that’s exactly the issue. It’s always about Jeff. Everyone wants Jeff Hardy but no one remembers Matt Hardy, who’s as good if not better than his brother. He tells Dreamer he should be begging to have an Icon such as him in his weak shows, otherwise it’s just a bunch of nobodies that no one wants to see anyway. Tommy Dreamer says he’s wrong and that his show will have stars that people known and love and he should be more respectful otherwise things could go south rather quickly. Dreamer then says he has an idea, why doesn’t Matt Hardy come to his house and show what he is made of by going one-on-one against……. Him! Matt Hardy smiles at Dreamer and just says “you’re on” before leaving the room, leaving Dreamer pleased.

                                                        

- After a small commercial break, we return to ringside and out comes TNA’s Founder and Bullet Club member Jeff Jarrett, who will most likely address the rumours we all be hearing about. Jarrett starts by saying how this is a fantastic time to be a wrestling fan and more importantly, a TNA fan. He says that he’s been receiving tons of messages and phone calls about the rumours going around on social media that TNA and New Japan Pro Wrestling have reached a business agreement and will collaborate from now on. Well, he can proudly say it’s true, which brings a tremendous cheer from the crowd on Impact Zone. Jarrett says he wasn’t kidding when he said he was changing things up and here is the proof of it, a new founded alliance between two forces in professional wrestling. Jarrett then begins heeling up and saying that in reality he did this for himself because he can and because he wants to show all the internet marks that Japanese wrestling and their superstars aren’t that great compared to TNA’s own. The crowd begins to boo as Jarrett says they can boo all they want, it’s just a fact. But that’s other news because he wants to announce something else. Something that everyone will love and something that it’s just…..well, right. Jarrett announces that at TNA Sacrifice he will be facing Bobby Lashley for the King of The Mountain Championship! He says Lashley is one of the biggest phonies he ever remembers seeing in his career and the whole “fighter” thing is simply throwing sand to the fans eyes because everyone knows if he was that good, he would be at UFC and not Bellator. Crowd boos. Jarrett says that he has shown in the past how good of a MMA fighter he is so he has no doubt whatsoever that he can take out Lashley, expose him for what he really is, a damn fake! “The King of The Mountain” finishes off by telling everyone that TNA is his kingdom and he is the one and only King of the damn Mountain and you better deal with it! His theme plays out as he smirks to the camera. Coming up next, our Main Event! Mr. Anderson will lock horns against “Big Daddy Cool” Kevin Nash! Don’t you miss it!

Main Event –   VS 

-         Kevin Nash comes out accompanied by his long-time friends Scott Hall & X-Pac, which apparently doesn’t surprise Anderson much. The match is as expected, with Nash showing all of his power and strength, overwhelming Anderson from the get-go. Anderson tries to protect himself and gain some time but Nash doesn’t let go and keeps playing around with Anderson, throwing him around the ring like a ragdoll and taunting to the crowd. The helpless Anderson doesn’t seem to know where he is right now, which brings laughs from Nash and his Band members at ringside. Nash continues to punch and choke Anderson and telling the referee to get away, that this is “their house” and “their rules”. Nash again goes for a right jab but Anderson moves and pulls Nash head first against the corner! Anderson realizes that this is his opportunity and goes on a running dropkick spree on Nash, followed by a DDT. 

-    The crowd gets behind Anderson as he goes to the second rope and attempts the Kenton Bomb but the sneaky X-Pac pulls the ropes and goes on the apron, taunting Anderson. The referee sees this and quickly bans X-Pac from ringside, making him furious and pulling the referee from the ring. 

-     At that same moment, Scott Hall enters the ring and tries a cheap shot on Anderson who amazingly gets Hall and connects with the Mic Check! A dizzy Anderson turns around and eats a huge Big Boot from Kevin Nash, who takes advantage of the distraction and sets up the Jackknife Powerbomb but Anderson does a desperate rake to the eyes on Nash, leaving enough time to hit a strong Mic Check on the big man! The referee finally re-enters the ring and counts the pin! Anderson wins! Despite being clearly outnumbered, he managed to secure well-deserving victory!

                                                        Winner: Mr. Anderson

- Mr. Anderson tries to recuperate from his outstanding win when the TNA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 shows out of nowhere and hits Anderson right in the gut with a sledgehammer! EC3 was supposed to take the night off but it seems he wasn’t sure about The Band getting the job done. 

- Suddenly, the crowd begins to cheer massively as Sting storms the ring with his signature baseball bat and hits EC3 right in the head, sending the champion rolling to the floor outside. Meanwhile X-Pac returns and tries a cheap shot on Sting but “The Vigilante” reverses and hits the Scorpion Death Drop! Stinger is fired up and calls EC3 back to the ring, as the champion and The Band go on retreat. Sting picks the mic and says that in case he was wondering; their match this Sunday will be a Six Sides of Steel Cage Match! 

- The crowd goes wild as Sting celebrates in the ring much to the shock of EC3! That’s all for tonight folks, be sure to tune in for TNA Sacrifice! Goodnight!
