TNA Wrestler and Aces and 8's leader Bully Ray sat down for an interview with
Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald on a number of issues. In the interview,
Bully teases the possibility of more members in the Aces and 8's.
In
an update to an earlier post, TNA Knockout Madison Rayne and her husband has
revealed the gender of their child. The couple is expecting a baby girl. We also
noted here
that Madison may be returning to Impact after having her child, opposed to
retiring. Madison has said that she will return to the company if their is still
a place for her. She teased that she would like to hold the role 'Knockout VP
Incharge', which is currently held by Brooke Hogan. Madison breifly held the
role in 2011, before being demoted by the then General Manager Sting.
- As noted earlier, Ric Flair had to leave RAW this evening and
was briefly hospitalized before heading home to a hospital in Charlotte. Flair
was sent to the hospital for complications from a blood clot. Flair didn't
wrestle for All Japan back in January due to a blood clot in his leg.
WWE medical staff took a look at Flair's leg this afternoon and
immediately made the decision to pull him off the show and send him to the
hospital. Flair was examined at the hospital and advised to return home to
Charlotte for further treatment.
Flair was scheduled for a segment with
Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler that would have seen them discuss John Cena vs. The
Rock at WrestleMania 29.
- As noted earlier, Ric Flair was scheduled to appear on tonight's
RAW and had been at the arena in Philadelphia since mid-afternoon.
Flair
was described as not looking healthy and F4Wonline.com reports he was taken to
the hospital. Reports now are that Flair has left Philadelphia and is headed for
a hospital in Charlotte.
We have two RAWs left before Wrestlemania, and the WWE really has to step up
their game. The Rock will be there tonight, so I would expect the Rock/Cena
program to get the majority of the attention tonight. Sit back and enjoy!
Heyman to Punk: TOUCHDOWN
CM Punk came out with Paul Heyman carrying the urn. Heyman threw a pass with
the urn to Punk in the ring from the apron. Punk said everyone says the
Undertaker cant be beaten at Wrestlemania. They say no one can stop the
Deadman. But Punk said they dont know what they are talking about. But they
are irrelevant. Punk said everything should have ended at last years
Wrestlemania, with Undertaker, HHH and Shawn Michaels walking into the sunset.
But Taker had to come out on Punks show and point at his sign. Punk said the
urn means nothing to him and threw it on the ground. He said he knows he will
beat The Streak and he has something Taker wants. And Taker is at a
psychological disadvantage. Punk said Taker could have fought any other man and
had his Streak continue, but he had to choose Punk. And Punk is the one to end
the Streak. Punk said at Wrestlemania, the Undertakers perfect record will Rest
in Peace.
Suddenly the lights went out and Taker went to town on Punk, landing multiple
punches in the corner before Punk escaped with the urn.
Segment Analysis: Very strong opening. Punk made up for kind
of a weak promo from last week. Punk sounds confident when he speaks about
breaking The Streak. And Taker, in the limited time he was out there, looked
good and in wrestling shape. Of course, there is a difference between landing
some punches and working a 20 minute match, but it looked promising.
Survey Says: 4/5
Oh NOW You Want To Build The Undercard Of Wrestlemania
Fandango came out for a match, but Chris Jericho came out and jumped him.
Jericho got the upper hand and Fandango bailed. Great way to give heat to a
match that needed it.
Dolph Ziggler came out for a match against Chris Jericho. Jericho had the
upper hand early before Ziggler caught him with a kick to the chest. Jericho
grabbed Zigglers legs and he went for the Walls, but Ziggler pushed him away.
Ziggler caught a Y2J elbow and then a crossbody for two. Dolph had control back
from break with a headlock. Jericho countered with a nearfall but got back up
and ate a dropkick. Dolph hit a splash in the corner then applied an abdominal
stretch. Jericho got out with a hip toss. Dolph missed a splash and Jericho went
to work. He hit a top rope double axe handle then a running bulldog. Big E got
on the apron and ate a Jericho dropkick, but the distraction allowed Dolph to
hit a DDT for two. Jericho grabbed the ropes to block the ZigZag, and Jericho
applied the Walls of Jericho. Ziggler tapped out.
After the match Big E took out Jericho with his finisher. Fandango came out
after and did a brief dance over Jericho then attacked him. He hit a flying leg
drop off the top rope then said his name.
Segment Analysis: Well, how do you build up to a match that
had little heat in two weeks? That is how you do it. Good showing by Fandango
and this little mini feud has some legs. Another strong match between Dolph and
Jericho as well. Survey Says: 3.5/5
Backstage Matt Striker asked Sheamus about what happened last Friday on
Smackdown. Suddenly, The Shield attacked. Randy Orton came in with a chair but
was eventually stopped. Big Show finally came in to even the odds and The Shield
retreated.
Mark Henry made quick work of the Usos. He hit Worlds Strongest Slams on
both of them and then a splash.
The Mid-Card Champ Didnt Job? What Show Is This???
Alberto del Rio vs Antonio Cesaro. After Del Rio released an armbar, Cesaro
caught Del Rio with an uppercut. Del Rio came back with some clotheslines and a
tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Zeb Colter came out and distracted Del Rio. Cesaro
caught Del Rio with a knee then a headbutt. Del Rio crotched Cesaro on the
turnbuckle then hit a superplex. Suddenly, Jack Swagger attacked Ricardo and
beat on his broken ankle some more. Del Rio made the save and brawled with
Swagger through the crowd. Del Rio was counted out. Del Rio attacked Cesaro and
applied the crossarmbreaker after the match.
Segment Analysis: While other feuds are gaining steam headed
into Wrestlemania, this one seems to be losing some. The crowd just isnt that
into ADR, and they are using Ricardo to get some sympathy heat for him. Del Rio
has really dropped off as a face after a promising start. Survey Says:
2.5/5
More A.J.? Works For Me!
Team Hell No vs the Prime Time Players. Bryan and Kane dominated ONeil early
on. Darren Young came in but Bryan and Kane hit a double hip toss. Bryan hit a
handful of kicks until Dolph, Big E and A.J. came out on the ramp. Young hit a
belly-to-belly on Bryan. Bryan ducked a clothesline and hit one of his own on
Young then tagged in Kane. Kane hit a couple of boots to Youngs face then a
sideslam for two. Titus broke up the count but then was thrown to the outside
where he ate a Daniel Bryan flying knee. Kane hit a chokeslam on Young for the
win.
Match Analysis: Nothing too exciting here. Match was okay.
Cole calling the Tag Title prestigious at the end there was kind of funny.
Survey Says: 2/5
A Short HHH Promo???
After a video package Triple H came out. He said Brock Lesnar is a destroyer
and can end anyones career in the ring. But he has had a 20 year career where
he has fought every night like his life depended on it. He said he feels no
pressure being backed into a corner. HHH said Brock should fight like his career
is on the line. Hes not there to fight at Wrestlemania, he is there to kick
Brock Lesnars ass. Wade Barrett came out during HHHs exit for his match. He
stared down HHH then HHH kicked him below the belt.
Segment Analysis: Short and to the point. I could live with
that. But what was the point of the whole Wade Barrett thing??? That is why HHH
is terrible as a face. Survey Says: 2.5/5
From One Bad Face To Another
Miz came out to fight Wade Barrett. Miz hit a couple of atomic drops and
Barrett bailed after both, still selling the effects of HHHs kick. Barrett
finally got the upper hand with a knee, then a couple of knees to the gut in the
corner. Miz regained control with a backbreaker. Barrett countered the
neckbreaker but Miz tossed him over the top rope. He hit an axehandle off the
apron. Barrett had control back from break after tossing Miz into the apron
during commercial. Barrett caught Miz with a knee. Miz started fighting back. He
hit his corner clothesline then a top rope axe handle. Miz charged at Barrett
but he went right into the Winds of Change slam for two. Miz went for a Figure
Four but Barrett countered into a pin for two. Barrett hit a kick to the head.
Miz ducked a Bullhammer elbow, and Barrett ended up crotched on the ropes. Miz
applied the Figure Four, and Barrett tapped out.
Segment Analysis: Not a bad match. It seemed obvious Miz was
picking up the win with what happened earlier. But similar to ADR, Miz is just
not getting over as a face. I dont get the crowd chanting boring during the
match. It wasnt that bad. Looks like we are getting these two again at
Wrestlemania. Survey Says: 3/5
Backstage, Kane and Bryan argued that they other wasnt over A.J. Kaitlyn was
randomly standing there and called A.J. crazy, who was behind her. A.J. attacked
Kaitlyn.
The Shield made quick work of The Great Khali, Zack Ryder and Justin Gabriel.
They hit a Triple Power Bomb on Great Khali after the match. Randy Orton and
Sheamus came out. As they were walking down the ramp, Big Show came in through
the crowd. All three took it to The Shield. The Shield retreated. Looks like Big
Show joining Sheamus and Orton is official.
Chris Jericho said Vickie Guerrero made Jericho/Fandango official at
Wrestlemania.
The Rhodes Scholars defeated Tensai and Brodus Clay. The Bellas and
Naomi/Cameron fought on the outside during the match.
Ryback beat 3MB. He hit a pretty impressive Shell Shocked with Jinder Mahal
and Heath Slater both on his shoulders.
A.J. beat Kaitlyn via countout. Kaitlyn missed a Spear on the outside and
went right into the barricade.
Stop Teasing The Turn Already
The Legends for the Rock/Cena Panel: Booker T, Mick Foley, Dusty Rhodes and
Bret Hart. mMick Foley asked John Cena if he is ready to live with the possible
regret of losing to The Rock again at Wrestlemania. Cena said win or lose, it
will change the face of the WWE forever. If he wins he gets redemption. Cena
said if he loses he will be like Donovan McNabb. Despite being the best QB to
ever play for the Eagles, he still gets booed because he didnt win the big one.
He rambled on some more. Rock said when he was 23 he was broke and got his
mattress out of a dumpster. Then he tore his ACL and when he came back, asked
them to give him a mic. Cena became the youngest WWE Champ ever, then lost to
Austin. Rock rambled too.
Bret Hart asked what changed between them and why it doesnt seem like there
is any bad blood. Rock said Cena took his loss like a man, and in 13 days we
will see how Rock handles his. Booker asked Cena why he is going to beat The
Rock at Mania. Cena said because he has too. Rock said to wipe his ass with
that. Cena said Rock didnt beat him, he beat himself. Cena said he made one
mistake, and he knows he is better than The Rock. Rock said to quote another
legend, to be the man, you have to beat the man. And Cena will never be the
man.
Dusty said Wrestlemania is about winning or losing. Dusty asked them what
they really want. Cena said he wants to win the big one and dominate The Rock.
And Rock will realize that he is better, and hand him a loss so devastating that
it will effect him the rest of his life. Rock said the day after Mania, he will
still be WWE Champ and Cena will be eating some Fruity Pebbles. Rock wanted Cena
to prove him wrong, right now. Both men stared each other down. Cena did the
You Cant See Me then went for an AA. Rock got out and hit a Rock Bottom. The
show ended with Cena looking dejected in the ring and Rock standing tall on the
ramp.
Segment Analysis: That didnt start off very well. The way
that first question was going made it look like this segment was going to suck.
But both men picked up their intensity at the end. And despite no one believing
it, Cena sold pretty well that losing to the Rock last year has haunted him
forever. It was a strong showing by Cena, who again continues to tease a
possible heel turn. At this point, I think the WWE is just baiting us with it to
try to get us to believe it is happening. I would still put it at less than 50%,
but they are doing a good job of making us believe it will happen. Was that
enough to get me into this match? Not yet. They have one week. Survey
Says: 3.5/5
OVERALL
I thought that was a strong episode of RAW. The WWE needed to do something to
get people caring about the ENTIRE Wrestlemania card, and they did a good job of
doing that here. The Taker/Punk opening was great. And Taker looked like he was
ready to go at Mania, which was an encouraging sign. They did a GREAT job of
getting some heat and intensity into the Jericho/Fandango program. In one week
they made it seem like a big deal. Ryback and Mark Henry got a decent build.
They did a good job of convincing us that Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show can
be a cohesive unit. But I still think Orton is turning at Mania. The last job
did a good job of adding some heat to the Rock/Cena program that was on hiatus
for two weeks. It was a good job by the WWE building to the biggest show of the
year. Two good matches as well. Im giving it an 8.

Former TNA Wrestler turned MMA Fighter Bobby Lashley recently spoke with The Bolin Alley podcast hosted by Chris Bolin. The subject of TNA and Bellator's cross-promotion came up and Lashley revealed, while being somewhat vague on the subject that he has been contacted by TNA, Bellator or both about a possible singing. Lashley said:
"We've had talks, we've had talks. We're still having talks. Until those talks come into producing, then it's just talking."
There was an apparent knee or leg injury to Mark Henry at last night's WWE live
event in Norfolk, Virginia. Henry was wrestling Kane and lost when he used a
steel chair to get disqualified. During the match, the referee gave the "X"
signal to the back and pointed to Henry's knee a few times. They quickly went to
the DQ steel chair finish and that was it. Henry limped back after the match.
- It was reported in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that
Maria Kanellis, who appeared for WWE from 2004 to 2010, was among the former
Divas contacted by organization officials to return. The possibility of a
comeback, however, fell through when some unspecified female talent learned of
WWE's interest in Kanellis, causing management to shelf the idea.
In
2011 and 2012, Kanellis hosted an online show for AfterBuzzTV.com discussing Raw
events, which was most notable for her cryptic remarks regarding the personal
lives of Kelly Kelly and The Bella Twins. Regarding the report and past remarks,
she tweeted Thursday, "As for the other rumors: I have respect for all Divas
including the Bellas and Barbie now. What's past is past.
#oneloveonelifeladyfirst."
- As noted, the new WWE head writer is former soap opera writer David Kreizman.
WWE is looking to hire more former soap opera writers, according to
PWInsider.com.
Former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz, who writes most of The
Rock's material, has also been stepping up on the creative side. There is still
no real push for Paul Heyman to join the creative team, although he does work
with various wrestlers who seek his advice.

- Kane recently spoke with NorfolkNavyFlagship.com to promote WrestleMania. Here are some highlights:
JM: With the unfortunate passing of Paul Bearer, would you like to share how he impacted your career?
K: He was an integral part of my early years as Kane. Without Paul Bearer, there wouldnt have been a Kane, because he was such an important part of that story. Also, we traveled together for a few years, so it was a loss on a personal level for me as well. He came back and managed me in 2010 when I was World Champion, which was really cool again against The Undertaker. Just like everyone else, I was a big fan of Paul Bearer and Percy Pringle, and all of the other names that he went by. It was a tough loss for everybody. We went to the viewing and what was really amazing was there were flowers there from all over the country really, all over the world. It was nice to see an outpouring of affection from fans all over the place.
JM: Youve been in the WWE for nearly 18 years now. What do you attribute to your longevity?
K: Well, I work hard and I show up. Ive been very fortunate that I havent gotten injured a bunch. I try to take care of myself. I think, too, my size gives me an advantage in some ways. Im not always the guy getting knocked down a whole lot. My body probably hasnt been punished as much as the other guys have been. I think its because I show up everyday and I try to do my best give everything I have.
JM: Youre currently one half of the WWE Tag-Team Champions and youve had various tag-team partners throughout the years. How would you compare your current partner (Daniel Bryan) to other partners in your past?
K: Well, hes different thats for sure. Whats cool about Daniel Bryan is that I have now been able to do something that Ive never been able to do before. Kane has always been sort of a dark character. With Daniel Bryan, weve been able to add a lot more lightheartedness, some humor and a lot of comedy. It works even better because its such a contrast from what Ive normally done in the past. Hes completely different than any tag-team partner Ive ever had. Hes a pain a monumental pain to get along with. Its like the odd couple, and somehow, Ive become the voice of sanity. I dont know how thats happened hell do that to you.
JM: WrestleMania 29 is coming up (April 7, live on Pay-Per-View) and we know that The Rock will be defending his WWE Championship against John Cena in a rematch from the main event of WrestleMania 28. Do you have a prediction for which way this match will go?
K: I dont, and who knows John Cena made the mistake last year at the last stage of their match when he went to do Rocks Peoples Elbow and it cost him the match. Im not saying that John Cena would take The Rock lightly, but I think this year hell be even more serious about it. I think The Rock is going to be in for more than he may have bargained for.
- We noted before how Jenn Sterger, who was in the news in 2010
for the Brett Favre sexting scandal, attended the recent WWE Divas tryout at
NXT. It sounds like she was one of 5 Divas signed. Here is a pic of her, on the
right, and fellow Divas prospect CJ Perry with a mention about WrestleMania:
There has been a debate on here over TNA
Knockout Madison Rayne and her future in the wrestling business. Many have
assumed that she would be retiring after having her child, but this might not be
the case. Madison sent out the following;
"Wow! You guys have rly humbled
me with all your kind words
thank you! BUT no more "thx 4 the memories" tweets! I'm not done here )
<3"
The
X-Division is evolving! New Rules Announced! 230lb Weight Limit!
All
X-Division championship matches will now be held under triple threat rules. The
champion will have two challengers at the same time and has a thirty-three
percent chance of retaining the title and runs the risk of losing the title
without being pinned. The high-stakes title match has consequences for the
challengers as well. The wrestler pinned in the X-Division championship match is
eliminated from a future title match while the wrestler who isnt involved in
the decision gets to compete in the next X-Division title match. So where will
the next contender come from?
New contenders will be also decided via a
Triple Threat match. Fresh faces, former champions or recently eliminated
contenders all will battle with one winner advancing into the next X-Division
title match.

TNA Impact Wrestling Results Chicago, Illinois (Sears Centre) March 21, 2013 Commentators: Mike Tenay, Taz, & Todd Keneley Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
Week two from Chi-Town kicks off with Bully Ray talking about the swerve of him behind Aces & Eights. He says that he knows everyone is still trying to figure out how he did it and he says hes going to tell us how he did it. He says its like when a magician shows an audience how the trick was done and the audience feels like a fool for buying into the trick. He says that it took 9 months for the plan to come together and footage of Aces & Eights jumping Jeff Hardy during the BFG Series Semifinals. Bully says that was Plan A and things didnt go together as perfectly as they hoped (Hardy still won) but that is when he put Plan B into effect. Footage of all of the stuff between Brooke & Ray are shown and he says that plan did something that not even he thought that he could pull off. He says he destroyed friendships, peoples trust, and the Hogan family. Ray says Brooke & Hulk have never been as low as they are right now, and he doesnt care what he had to do to Sting to get what he wanted. Footage of all the drama between he and Sting and Hogan getting pissed at Sting is shown. Ray says tonight hell walk us through every step of his plan.
In the arena the commentators discuss the show tonight and then Hogans music interrupts them. Hulk comes down to the ring with the aid of a crutch. A massive Hogan chant starts and he says that everyone knows hes been around a long time and hes been through hell & back with his fans, but hes never had the wool pulled over his head quite like he did with Bully Ray. He says that not only did Aces & Eights fool all the fans but they also fooled himself, his family, Sting, and everyone else in TNA. He says that when he thinks about the massacre that Aces & Eights did to the TNA guys last week it made him realize that this thing is a monster and its not just a battle, its a war. Another Hogan chant breaks out and he says out of all the men that were left lying in the ring last week, the four guys that LED the charge are the warriors of TNA. He says he loves those guys and respects them and that they lead the rest of the roster in the back. Hogan asks for the fans to show these four men respect as he brings them to the ring. Samoa Joe, Magnus, Jeff Hardy, & Kurt Angle walk down to the ring.
As they come to the ring footage of the brawl between TNA & Aces is shown. Hogan says the reason hes brought them out here is that he needs them to put Aces & Eight out and he needs the World Title back with TNA. A big Joe chant starts and then Hogan turns to Hardy and says that he needs to know if Jeff is still up for his rematch after the attack with the hammer at Lockdown. Hardy says Bully Ray stole his title and he NEEDS it back. Hardy says hes ready and so are the other 3 guys in the ring so just in case hes not ready he suggests a Fatal 4-Way to name a new #1 Contender with he, Joe, Angle, & Magnus. Hogan says the last time he picked a #1 Contender he made one of the biggest mistakes of his life so he loves the idea of letting the best man in the ring becoming the #1 Contender. Hogan officially makes the match for later tonight.
More of Bully Rays plan is next. Ray says Plan A was simple, win the BFG Series, and then win the World Title. He says the first night of the BFG Series was the first night Aces & Eights showed up and jumped Sting. Footage of the attack on Sting is shown as Ray talks. He says Aces & Eights were created by shock & awe and complete anarchy. He says every single dead mans hand was dealt by him. He says that every week the question was who is behind Aces & Eights and all it took was one simple suggestion to Bobby Roode and he ran with it. Footage of Roode accusing Storm and all the drama surrounding that is shown with Ray pointing out how they made every effort to make it look like it was Storm while Ray was racking up BFG Series points. His win at Hardcore Justice in the 4-Way Tables Match is shown with them even making it seem like Aces TRIED to help Storm. He says after they were done with Storm they had no problem taking him out. Ray says all Storm had to do was pick Ray at No Surrender and he played right into it. Footage of Storm picking Ray as his opponent at No Surrender is shown (Storm was the #1 Seed in the Semifinals so he got to choose his opponent) with Storm saying that last year Bully ending his hopes of winning the BFG Series so now he was going to end Rays. Ray says he called Roode and stirred up by asking him how he was going to let Storm Main Event BFG instead of Roode. He says that made Roode go crazy which leads to Roode attacking Storm during the Semifinals and costing him the match. Ray says that night Hulk was just a little smarter than them and locked the rest of Aces & Eights out before they could end Hardy. He says that Jeff was a lot tougher than he thought and he beat Ray. He says he came up with a new plan after that and Hulk brought it right to him.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
TNA World Tag Team Championships Super Mex Hernandez & Mexican Warrior Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. The Dirty Heels (Bobby Roode & Austin Aries) (c)
Hernandez & Chavo were supposed to get their shot last week but Aces & Eights put a stop to that before it could begin. Chavo and Roode will kick this one off. They lockup and Roode gets Chavo in a Waistlock but Chavo counters with a modified armdrag and he holds onto the arm with an armlock. Roode rolls through and reverses it and then transitions into a hammerlock. Chavo rolls through as well and counters into a wristlock but Roode just simply punches him in the head. Chavo answers with a European Uppercut but Roode cuts him off with a kick to the gut. Roode whips Chavo into the ropes and attempts a clothesline but Chavo ducks and then catches Roode with a Spinning Head Scissors Takeover! Chavo tosses Roode into the corner and lays into him with rights and lefts before tagging in Super Mex. Chavo hits a Scoop Slam and then Hernandez Scoop Slams Chavo on top of Roode before hitting a Splash on Roode! 1 2 NO Roode kicks out! Hernandez picks Roode back up but Roode sticks his knee in the gut of Hernandez. Roode tosses Hernandez into the waiting boot of Aries in the Heels corner. Aries tags in and they take turns beating on Hernandez. Aries hits a Slingshot Back Elbow over the top onto Hernandez in the corner and then Roode rakes Hernandezs eyes. Aries puts the boots to him and then boxes his ears as an Austin Aries chant starts up. Aries lights Hernandez up with a chop and then tags Roode back in. Roode puts the boots to Hernandez as Aries hooks his leg. The Dirty Heels attempt a Double Suplex but Hernandez blocks it and hits one on the Heels! Chavo tags back in and hits Dropkicks on both of them sending them retreating to the floor.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Back from the commercial break Roode tosses Chavo into the ring but Aries tosses him right back out and Roode slams him into the ring steps. Roode holds Chavo as Aries dives off the top with the Flying Savage Axe Handle!

Winners & STILL Tag Champs: Dirty Heels via pinfall (rollup)

A video package highlighting the X-Division is shown with some of the most insane matches and spots in the history of the X-Division. The graphic announces that all X-Division Title Matches will be 3-Way Dances starting tonight. Theyre calling this the X-Division Evolution and the graphic says this will usher in the Next Generation.
In the back Kenny King is watching the same montage that we were and he says that he should be mad about that, he should be downright pissed off, but that kind of thing has been happening to him his whole life. He says back when he was a kid playing football they would tell him he had to play with the older kids because he hits too hard. He says that if TNA wants to be that way then so be it and if they want to put him in the ring with 2 dudes every week all theyre doing is setting up 2 funerals. He says it doesnt matter how many they send at him and having to face 2 guys everytime will just make him shine that much brighter. King says he might need a little bit more energy for this one and then holds up a 5-Hour Energy bottle, oh my goodness I dont think Ive ever seen a more shameless plug in my life.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Earlier today Brooke Hogan is shown arriving but she says she doesnt want to talk about Bully Ray tonight. She says she is here to do business and thats handle business with the Knockouts.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
More of Bully Rays story is shown. He says that when Hogan locked Aces & Eights out Plan B went into effect. He says Hardy went on to BFG and won the World Title so he had to find a new plan. Footage of Bully Ray leading the charge to chase Aces & Eights off the first time they cornered Brooke in the ring. He says Hogan made a fool of himself by employing Joseph Park to try and find out the identity of Aces & Eights. Footage of Ray telling Park to be careful where he sticks his nose and then footage of him kidnapped by Aces. The agreement of the BFG Match where if Aces won they got full access to the Impact Zone is shown and one of the masked guys there Bully says was Devon. He says Hogan turned his back on Devon when he didnt try to renew his contract. Ray says he knew what he was doing by standing up to be the hero to save TNA. Footage of Sting going to bat for Ray as well as Ray trying to get Hogan to shake his hand and have his back is also shown as Ray says he knew he had Hogan when he shook his hand. Ray says they bonded and then a shot of Devon being put through a table at BFG is shown. Ray says he lost at the hands of his own brother and then his fake rage over Devon is what caused Sting to be injured as footage of him chasing Devon to the back while Aces & Eights beat Sting with a hammer is shown. He says he set his sights on the next step of the plan but he got caught (first by Aries catching he & Brooke and then Tara walking in on them together in Brookes office). Ray says he knew exactly how Hulk would react when the beautiful girl brings home the bad boy. He says that the more Hulk said no, the more Brooke said yes. He says that he knew he was in at that point and there was nothing Hogan could do to stop it.
Sting is shown walking into Hulk Hogans office.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Hulk Hogan & Sting talk in Hogans office but Hulk isnt happy. Sting says this whole thing isnt about the title, its about making things right. Sting says he wants Bully tonight but Hulk says things havent changed since last week. He tells Sting to do what he does best when things get heavy, go sit up in the rafters for a couple of years. He tells Sting to go hide in the shadows because whenever hes around he causes problems so he suggest Sting disappear right now. Sting says it was about apologies last week but now its about revenge and he walks away saying he wants Bully Ray. Hogan says that he isnt the only one.
Footage of the drama between Terrell & Gail Kim is shown.
Taryn Terrell walks down to the ring and she says that she knows that shes on probation and her job is to control the chaos not cause it, but when Gail put her hands on her she had to retaliate. She says now its time for her to accept the consequences and Gail Kim walks down to the ring. Gail says shes so glad that Taryn has finally learned her lesson, the one that all the Knockouts have learned along the way, not to mess with Gail Kim. She says that shes the greatest female wrestler that ever lived and she created the division. She says there would be no Terrell if there were no Kim. She says shes just out to witness what should have happened a long time ago. Gail says that shes going to call Brooke Hogan out here so she can fire Terrell.
Brooke Hogan comes to the ring and she says this was a very tough decision for her to make. She says that she has thought long and hard over it and she loves Taryn, but she has to be fair and terminate her as the Knockouts referee. Gail laughs at her and Brooke says that she seems pretty happy, but she has another bit of news that might make everyone happy. She says that shes officially decided to sign Terrell to the Knockout Roster which means she can get physical with anyone she wants whenever she wants including Gail! Terrell Spears Gail and then chasers her to the back!
Bully Ray walks out from the other side of the arena and approaches Brooke as her back is turned watching Terrell and Gail. Brooke screams at him and then Bully shows her his wedding ring and says till death do us part. Bully says love ya honey as she screams that she hates him.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
More from Bully Ray as he says every good army has great soldiers. He says Aces & Eights is filled with guys that feel they were wronged. He says DOC & Knox became the muscle and he mentions how both Devon & Garett Bischoff actually came to Hulk to help him, but he turned his back to both of them. Footage of Devon & Garett offering their help to Hulk is shown. Ray says that Garett even came to Hulks side when he was trying to get rid of Garetts father, but Hogan still brushed him off like a nobody. Footage of Hogan eliminating Garett from consideration in the TV Title after Devon was released from his contract and the belt was vacated. Garetts face looking at Hulk (which I recall pointing out the way he looked at Hogan seemed a bit menacing at the time for a babyface). Ray says Wes Briscos father & uncle helped trained Hulk but he STILL made him pretty much beg for a job. Ray mentions that they took Mr. Anderson out and footage of him being laid out is shown, but Hulk didnt even bother to go check on him. He says Anderson joining was a no brainer because he had it out for Hogan too. Ray says if youre going to form a gang you have to get some leverage and you turn to your best friend which was Taz. Footage of when Hardy was attacked with the hammer before the UK tour is shown and Ray sarcastically asks who that was before revealing that it was actually him the whole time. Ray says D-Lo has been on the inside for them the whole time and mentions that he was a part of the TNA office giving him access to all of their secrets. Footage of the sit down meeting that Hogan & Dixie had with the agents is shown where D-Lo talks about having dealt with guys like that before and how he suggested they should just Aces & Eights in so they can keep an eye on them. Ray says that Hulk wanted Wes to earn his way into the company so they just used Kurt as footage of Kurt getting Wes is a Gut Check opportunity is shown. Ray reminds us that Wes was the first Gut Check competitor to win a match and that it was Garett that he beat. He says they made sure they had every advantage and takes credit for taking Al Snow out and D-Lo stepping up to be a judge. He says that once his title shot was signed, sealed, and delivered it was his decision to make sure that every member of Aces & Eights had been revealed to the world except just one, himself. He says the only thing left was the final part of the plan and Hogan never saw it coming.
Angle says the 4-Way tonight is the most important match hes had in a year and a half because thats how long its been since he was champion. He says that he wants to prove once again that hes the best wrestler in the world and he wants to be the one that takes down Aces & Eights. He says that starts by winning back the title.
The Blueprint Matt Morgan vs. Joseph Park
Morgan and Park lockup but Morgan just simply tosses Park away. They lockup again and Morgan tosses him into the ropes and taunts him. Park swings at Morgan but he ducks and shoves Park. Morgan offers Park a handshake and then acts like hes going to hit Park causing him to flinch to Morgans delight. He calls Park a joke and shoves him which causes Park to shove him back! Morgan nails Park with a body shot and then kicks him in the head before clubbing him in the back with his forearm. Morgan nails Park with a back elbow and then whips him hard into the ropes before hitting a clothesline to the back. Morgan goes for a Splash in the corner but Park moves and then hits a series of body shots! Park hits the ropes but eats a Spinning Clothesline from Morgan!

Park hits a clothesline but Morgan doesnt go down so Park bounces off the ropes with a Shoulder Block! Park climbs up top and dives off with an attempt at the Closing Argument (Diving Splash), but Morgan rolls out of the way and hits the Carbon Footprint! 1 2 3!

A clip of AJs return last week is shown. Tenay will interview AJ next.
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
In the back Jeff Hardy and says that he made the challenge tonight so that even if hes not ready tonight someone will have the chance to take the belt back for TNA.
Mike Tenay introduces AJ Styles and the Phenomenal Emo makes his way down to the ring. AJ is wearing a hooded jacket out to the ring and he gets in Tenays face. Tenay says hes known AJ for years and hes called every single one of AJs matches in TNA, and he even considered themselves friends but he has to ask AJ about his actions in recent weeks. He asks AJ what the deal is but AJ just stares at him without saying a word. Tenay asks him about the rumors theyve heard about drug use and alcohol abuse but AJ still just stares at him. Taz interrupts Tenay from the announce table and he says its pretty obvious that Tenay doesnt know how to conduct an interview. Taz says he saw the video of AJ when the cameras went back to his hometown in Mississippi or Louisiana or wherever the hell hes from when he was driving around on his Moped and life is about opportunities and he was talking to Bully Ray. He holds up a jacket that says prospect on it and he say he has a prospect cut for AJ and says he has to work his way up, maybe get the boys some beers or something. He says that hes heard that AJ has been dabbling in alcohol already and says this is about opportunity and he can drop that stinky ass moped hes driving and get a real bike with Aces & Eights.
James Storms music interrupts Tazs horrible sales pitch there (insulting someone isnt the best of recruiting them, Taz) and gets in the ring as AJ is now staring Taz down. Taz says AJ better stop staring at him. Storm asks if this is the new AJ Styles, a guy that cant even turn around a look the man he sucker punched in the face. Storm comments about his hood and says he thinks hes cool now but AJ continues to ignore him. Storm says he can be the new AJ Styles because the old AJ Styles was the type of guy that would tell you what he thought of him to his face. Storm gets in AJs face and says he can be the new AJ but Storm is still the same ole cowboy. Storm says AJ can think about sucker punching him again but when he thinks about it hes going to knock his teeth down his throat and look at him and say sorry bout yo damn luck! Storm gets in AJs face but AJ just blankly stares at him. AJ turns around and walks away without saying a word. Storm screams at him and asks him why hes walking away and he says everybody wants to know why!
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Bullys story continues and he says that Hogan didnt trust him when he caught him with his daughter and when he suspended Ray all he did was drive Brooke deeper into his arms. He says that he knew that he would never want to disappoint Brooke so he used Sting to lure him in. Ray says the wedding was the perfect opportunity to get Hogan where he wanted him and that people ask him why he didnt just reveal himself right then and there, but Bully says every great plan has an endgame. He says that he would never pass up the opportunity to let his boy Taz make an impact. He says that he knows what everyone is thinking, he got his ass kicked in that brawl too but Ray says he took a couple of shots for the team and asks aint ya ever seen Goodfellas before?! He says that everyone has to take a good beating once and awhile and he knew that if he got his ass kicked right in front of Hogans face he would have to trust him. He then shows Ray and Sting facing Aces & Eights and says that it was now Devons turn to take a beating for the team. He talks about the injury that kept him out of the title contention matches but he still manipulated the situation because he got Brooke to convince Hulk that he deserved the shot. He says he played to Hogans biggest weakness, his ego. He talks about Hogan teaming up with he and Sting in the UK and how that played to Hogans ego and that set it up perfectly for them to attack Hogan before the match and then Ray could go rescue Hulk while Sting got beaten in the ring. He says for 9 months he pulled up the biggest con in the history of wrestling.

Triple H is making more changes behind the scenes in WWE. He has started to do away with word for word scripts and instead is teaching the developmental talents how to work with bullet points.
This allows each talent to learn how to speak as their character and rely more on their own creative ability instead of reading what someone else wrote for them. WWE used to do this with their talent, to allow the talent to build their characters as well as to allow them to grow more naturally.
