The show started off with Abyss dragging a histerical Dixie Carter through the back of the iMPACT Zone. He had her handcuffed to himself. Once he was out and amongst the crowd he had one last question for her before Sunday. He asked if she preferred Janice or Bob. Finally Eric Bischoff and security came running out. Bischoff convinced him to let her go. Eric then said to go to a commercial, but we stayed with the action and Sting’s music began to play. Out walked Sting, Kevin Nash, and The Pope. Then we went to commercial.

Pope started off the talking. He talked about how the walls would come down at Bound For Glory and that they’d come down on Bischoff. After some back and forth Bischoff said it is just about Sting and Hogan. Sting said he was right, that is what it’s all about. Sting said the only way to end it was for Hogan to get back in the ring at BFG, he asked if he was ready to put it all on the line. Bischoff simply said he had nothng to say to Sting. Then out came Jeff Jarrett and Samoa Joe. Bischoff stopped them, and told them he’d give them an answer. He went on to explain how Hogan was in intensive care after surgery, and then showed a video clip of Hogan in the hospital and having his operation. After the video Bischoff said, if they want to kick his ass then go ahead. He then proposed making the match at BFG a Handicap Match against Joe and Jarrett.

We then suddenly cut to the back where Mickie James was arriving!

After a commercial we see a review of Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle.

Then we see Team 3D in New York City. Brother Ray said at BGF they would be making the biggest announcement of their career.

Match #1:
Winner owns the rights to the Beautiful People name and music Match
Tara & Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love & Velvet Sky
Halfway through Angelina and Velvet’s entrance Tara and Madison attacked. Miss Tessmacher was standing at the top of the ramp taking notes. After a Total Elimination type double team move Angelina got the pin.

As Madison began yelling at Tara, Miss Tessmacher interupted. She went over how the match at BFG would go. She then pointed out that there would be a special guest referee… Mickie James! Mickie James pointed out that after she raises the winners hand that she’d be coming for the TNA Knockouts Title. She wanted to make history by being the first women to hold every major title known to womenkind. See, moments like this is what make wrestling good. Even though I knew she was going to be on iMPACT! tonight, I got that extra excited feeling when it actually happened. Just like two weeks ago when Paul Bearer made his return. Knew it was going to happen days ahead of time, but when it did it gave me chills.

After a commercial we went to the back where Dixie Carter tells Eric to fire Abyss tonight. He said he’d handle it. She said he wants him to do it in the ring in front of everyone and humiliate him like he did to her tonight.

Match #2:
Last Man Standing Match
Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley
Mick Foley came out with his eye bandaged up from where he beat himself to a bloody pulp last week. Flair ripped off the bandage right away and began pounding on the wound. Foley began gushing blood instantly. Foley grabbed a bat wrapped in barbed wire from under the steel ring steps. He hit Flair in the face with it a couple times which obviously cut him wide open. Flair was just gushing blood as he always does when he gets cut open. They fought up the ramp to the announce table. After Foley grinded the barbed wire into Flair’s face some more, Flair tossed him off the stage down through a table. Off to a commercial. During the commerical break Flair was beating Foley over the head with a copy of Foley’s book Countdown to Lockdown. The fans were now chanting, “Let’s go Flair! Let’s go Foley!”. Flair retrieved a bag of thumbtacks from under the ring and spread them out in the ring. It backfired thought when Foley hit him with a Back Body Drop sending him crashing down right on top of the tacks. Foley then went out and got a Barbed Wire Board! After punching him about 20 times Flair went down in the corner. Foley grabbed the board and charged at him. Flair was just writhing in pain. There was blood everywhere! Next Foley went for a table. As he set the table up the fans were chanting fire. When Foley went towards Flair he was met with a couple low blows. Flair then laid him out on the table, grabbed the Barbed Wire Board and slammed it down onto Foley! Flair then climbed to the top rope and hit Foley on the table with a big Splash! In my best Joey Styles voice…OH MY GOD! Referee Earl Hebner started a ten count, and Foley got up, Flair almost did, but then colapsed. Both men were a bloody mess.

I was truly concerned going into this match that it would simply be a “Battle of the Aged” rather than a “Battle for the Ages”, but WOW I was so wrong. What an incredible match!!! Especially for two old guys! lol After the match Foley grabbed a mic and pointed out that Flair added one stipulation to the match. He told Flair to get back in the ring and kiss his ass just as he said he would. At least Foley was nice about it, he said he wasn’t going to pull his trunks down, but Flair was going to kiss his dimpled ass. At that point all of Fortune hit the ring and attacked. Luckily EV2.0 came out pretty quick to put an end to it.

To the back with Eric Bischoff headed out to the ring. He called out Abyss and off to a commercial we went. After the break he was still waiting for Abyss. Instead of Abyss we got Rob Van Dam’s music and RVD’s entrance. He said that if Abyss gets fired tonight and he doesn’t get his match against him on Sunday that he is leaving TNA. He kept it short and sweet and left the ring.

We then broke away to tape from Tommy Dreamer and Rhino outside of The Arena, the original ECW arena in Philadelphia with a group of crazed fans. This and the commercial break was obviously just giving them time to clean the ring out before they could move on.

After the break we had a segment with Orlando Jordan teaching Eric Young how to throw a ball at some blocks at an amusement park somewhere. They also talke dabout their upcoming match with Ink, Inc.

Match #3:
Orlando Jordan & Eric Young vs. Ink, Inc. (Shannon Moore & Jesse Neal)
Eric had a bunch of fake tattoos on his body and then went over to high five Moore and Neal. Jordan controlled the whole match until Eric caused a distraction and allowed Neal to turn it around and get a tag to Moore. Young actually started helping Moore, even slingshoting him into him in the corner. Jordan then went for a pin and had his feet on the ropes, but EY pointed it out to the ref. Jordan then actually got the pin. EY tackled the ref, then grabbed a mic and after some comedy said he and Orlando forfeit the match. He then proposed they do the match again at BFG.

Then to a clip with Jay Lethal at his childhood home in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Afte rthe break, Dixie, Eric, and RVD are talking in the back. Dixie then signed a form that made it official that win, lose, or draw Abyss is fired on 10-11-10.

Robbie E. and Cookie, aka The Shore came to the ring and grabbed some mics. Dear Lord, this is Zack Ryder multiplied by 100 annoying! Also, someone should show Robbie some video footage of Curry Man so he can see he is doing more Curry Man than he is doing The Situation in his fist pump action.
