The first live TNA Impact episode permanently on the road opened with a video package documenting events from the Lockdown PPV, specifically Hulk Hogan giving Bully Ray a pep talk before Ray won the TNA Title but after turning on the Hogans to join Aces & Eights. The video closed with a visual of Ray getting plunked in the head during the PPV-closing littering.
Arena: TNA went live to Chicago for a wide shot of the Sears Centre to make it look like they were in front of a very large, major-league audience. At commentary, Todd Keneley introduced the show before Taz gloated about Ray being new TNA World champion. Keneley plugged reaction from Ray and Brooke Hogan tonight. Mike Tenay the spoke up with a plug for A.J. Styles returning to TNA tonight.
TNA then randomly went to the ring for an unhyped Tag Title match to start the show. Out came Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez as the challengers. Suddenly, Aces & Eights members hit the ring, apparently upset by TNA not promoting this Tag Title match in-advance. A&E put the boots to Guerrero and Hernandez to send a message to the TNA locker room. D-Lo Brown then dumped Hernandez to the floor before D.O.C. and Knox tossed Chavo to the floor.
In the ring, Devon told the crowd to sit down and shut up. Devon said this is the group that he said would take over TNA. He said this group will dominate from now on. So, without further ado, Devon introduced new TNA World champion Bully Ray. The A&E music played to bring out Bully through A&Es back-entrance. Bully slowly walked out sporting a beanie, flannel shirt, t-shirt underneath the flannel, and jeans. Ray stared down the ringside fans as he slowly walked toward the ring. Ray then embraced Taz before Ray hit the ring.
In the ring, Ray and Devon embraced before D-Lo presented Ray with his own Aces & Eights jacket. Ray then stood tall as the president of the group. Once the music stopped, Ray took the mic and asked the crowd if they know who he is. Ray said he is Bully Ray, the president of Aces & Eights. And, he is the TNA World Hvt. champion.
Ray said he used Sting, screwed Brooke (some cheers in the crowd), and made a fool out of Hulk Hogan. Ray then claimed to have made a fool out of everyone in the audience. He claimed that they pulled the wool over their eyess for nine months. Ray said he cannot tell Devon how proud he was of him in that moment at Lockdown when he drilled Jeff Hardy in the back of the head.
Ray said it wasnt supposed to go down like that. He said that when Wes and Garett came over the cage, he was supposed to escape the cage when they entered. But, Hogan sat him down one hour before the show to give him a pep-talk. Ray said Hogan told him to do something memorable, which is what he did. (So, did Ray radio in a new plan during the match after calling an audible?)
Ray said he did something in one night that the NWO couldnt accomplish in forever, which drew ooohs and aaahs. Ray said they are the Aces & Eights and when you ride with A&E, you never walk alone. Their music played, then Ray held up the TNA Title belt in the air. Keneley said its entitlement.
Backstage, Sting was shown flipping out watching this unfold on the monitor. Sting said Rays in the fast-lane, pissing him off. Sting vowed to get his hands on Ray and it starts by talking to Hulk. Sting stormed off, frustrated and angry.
Up Next: Knockouts tag action of Gail Kim & Tara vs. KO champion Velvet Sky & Mickie James.
[Commercial Break] [...Q2]
[...Q2]
Back live, Keneley recapped Knockouts Title events at Lockdown on Sunday.
1 KO champion VELVET SKY & MICKIE JAMES vs. TARA (w/Jessie) & GAIL KIM Taryn Terrell referee
Prior to the bell, TNA cut to an inset promo from Gail Kim announcing that Knockouts authority figure Brooke Hogan put referee Taryn Terrell on probation for her role in the Knockouts Title match on Sunday. After the babyfaces grabbed an early advantage, TNA cut to a mid-match commercial.
[Commercial Break]
Back from break, the heels were in control as Taryn found herself in a familiar position trying to maintain order while having to deal with Jessie on the outside.
[Q3] The match built to Velvet getting a hot tag from Mickie and cleaning house on Tara and Gail. Ref Taryn and Gail then got into it again, so Taryn slapped Gail across the mouth. After the slap, Sky nailed her finisher for the win.
WINNERS: Sky & at 9:40.
Earlier Tonight: Bully Ray dared Hulk Hogan to come out here and fire the Aces & Eights group.
Somewhere in Catering: Aces & Eights were shown sitting around having some drinks. Ray said he doesnt think Hogan has the balls to fire them, but in-case he does, he would like to propose a toast to the brotherhood. Ray then joked that he hasnt heard from his wife in a little while. He then pulled out his phone and mockingly left her a voice-mail. Tell dad I said hello! Bully cackled into the phone.
[Commercial Break]
Slammiversary plug: TNA is coming on June 2.
Backstage: A roving cameraman asked Hulk Hogan for his thoughts tonight. Hogan hobbled away on crutches before slamming the door on the cameraman.
In-ring: Robbie E. was introduced to the ring. Hes unfortunately facing Rob Terry in a re-match from Lockdown.
2 ROBBIE E. vs. ROB TERRY
Terry bounced Robbie around the ring, then finished him off in a little over one minute to little fanfare other than light Feed Me More chants. After the bell sounded, dance music played and Terry did some posing and dancing in the ring.
WINNER: Terry at 1:17. During the match, it became clear that a contributor to my 6.5 in-person score for Lockdown instead of a 5.0 like the rest of the PWTorch Staff was not having to listen to the announcers for three hours. Unbearable.
Backstage: Sting apprehensively walked into Hulk Hogans office for a chat.
[Q4] [Commercial Break]
A&E Catering Positon: Bully Ray complained about no A&E merchandise available at the TNA stands. Ray then told an A&E member to open up the program and the first person they see will get it. The group got excited about who the program opened to, then said it will be a tough challenge, but they can do it.
Hogans Office: Hulk Hogan blamed Sting for everything with Bully Ray. He said now Bully has the World Title and now A&E has the whole company hostage. And, now, his daughter is married to Bully. Sting told Hogan not to fire Aces & Eights, especially not Bully, because they need to handle this together. Hogan said there is no more we because this is the end of the movie. Hogan shouted at Sting to get out of his office because he makes him sick. Back on commentary, Taz had a big laugh watching Sting and Hogan break down.
Announcers: Keneley and Tenay switched gears to hearing from A.J. Styles for the first time in a long time. Keneley said Styles has been on an emotional rollercoaster, then TNA rolled footage of Styles blowing off TNA reps when they tried to catch up to him in Georgia.
Up Next: A.J. Styles returns to TNA.
[Commercial Break]
Backstage: TNA tag champs Bobby Roode and Austin Aries walked up to Sting to rub it in about Hogan dressing him down. Aries kept going by noting Sting just wouldnt listen to reason. He said Sting just ruined everything. Sting said hes had enough and he just wants to fight tonight. Roode then bailed on Aries and Sting pointed his finger in Ariess forehead and said hes fighting him tonight.
In-ring: Two minutes before the top of the hour, A.J. Styles was introduced. No sign of Styles, though. TNA cut to a wide-shot of the arena, but still no sign of Styles. Tenay said hes supposed to be here tonight.
[Q5 -- second hour] Suddenly, Daniels and Kazarians music played to bring out Daniels and Kaz dressed like the Road Warriors since theyre in Chicago. In the ring, Kaz said this isnt the first time that Styles has disappointed all of his fans. Kaz said this is Throwback Thursday and theyre paying homage to the second-best team in wrestling history. Daniels, playing Hawk, said the Road Warriors of the past were fake tough guys, like A.J. Styles. Daniels called themselves the Original Ring Warriors.
James Storm had enough of this and interrupted. Storm hit the ring and said they dont have to run away from him. Storm then put over the Road Warriors for being bigger, tougher, and more over than them. On to the tough part. Storm told Daniels and Kaz to decide which one wants to get a beating right now. Storm then decided for them by yanking Daniels into the ring.
3 JAMES STORM vs. DANIELS (w/Kazarian)
Storm tried to finish it at 3:00 with Eye of the Storm, but Daniels slipped out and hit the STO. Daniels then got too cocky, allowing Storm to pin Daniels with a quick roll-up.
WINNER: Storm at 3:44.
Post-match, Daniels and Kaz beat down Storm as the crowd chanted for A.J. Styles. Styles then appeared on the entrance ramp and walked with purpose to the ring. Styles, with a beard and longer hair and sporting a leather jacket over a black t-shirt while wearing jeans, cleared Kaz and Daniels from the ring. Styles stood still watching Kaz and Daniels with his eyes, then he suddenly clotheslined James Storm. Styless hood flipped up as he clotheslined Storm, covering his head to enhance his new persona. Styles then left the ring, selling that hes brooding like 96 Sting after feeling like WCW turned their back on him by accusing him of being the Third Man joining WCW.
Backstage: Kurt Angle was shown walking down the hallway, but Wes Brisco set him up for a trap to take a beat down from A&E members. D.O.C. attempted to throw some right hands, then A&E left Angle out cold on the floor.
[Commercial Break]
[Q6] Moments Ago: A.J. Styles returned to TNA and clotheslined James Storm after attacking Kazarian and Daniels. I dont get it, Taz said on commentary.
In-ring: Jazz music could only mean one thing. Joseph Park. Park came out to the ring dressed in a suit as the announcers discussed representatives from Park, Park, and Park here tonight. Once in the ring, Park looked around the arena before saying its an honor and a thrill to be standing here tonight. He said its no secret that its been a wild & crazy past few months for him. Park said that with all of this early success, hes decided to take a step back and reflect on the highlights of his life. (1) Graduating law school at the top of his class. (2) When he finally made partnership at Park, Park, and Park. This started to draw boos, then Park waved toward to the top of the arena and apologized for the lack of quality seats.
(3) Standing right here in an Impact ring in front of his hometown. Taz said he has the cheap pop down. Park said he grew up sitting on the first-base line of the Cubbies games, which drew boos. Park made the save saying he sat behind the goal at Blackhawks games. That got a reaction.
Suddenly, Matt Morgan interrupted. Park covered his mouth to sell concern as Morgan hit the ring and demanded a mic. Morgan waved off Park, then addressed Hulk Hogan, asking if it was everything he wanted and more. Morgan said out of all the mistakes he made, theres no bigger mistake he made than this walking joke Joseph Park. Park took exception as some vocal males chanted, Morgan, Morgan. Morgan said the fact that Hogan signed Park to a TNA contract is an abortion to wrestling.
Morgan said hes going to start eliminating Hulks mistakes one by one, starting with Park. Morgan delivered the final line in Parks face, then told Park he better get out of the ring. Now. Park did his goofy face to sell concern, then sized up Morgan and thought about leaving. Suddenly, Park had second thoughts after Morgan insulted him as being fat. Park said in Chicago, they never back down from a fight. So, if he wants to fight, then they do it right now.
Morgan laughed and circled around the ring as Park started removing his suit jacket. Youre serious, arent you? Morgan asked. Morgan told Park that they do things on his time, then started backing away from the ring. Morgan then hopped over the top rope, but paused on the top rope. Park turned his back, then turned around and ate a Carbon Footprint. As Park sold on the mat, Morgan leaned down and whispered, And my time is next week. Morgan slammed down the mic, then left the ring after establishing his mission going forward.
Still to come: Sting vs. Aries and footage of Brooke Hogans San Antonio Meltdown.
[Commercial Break]
Catering: Bully Ray said he feels good about taking out an Olympic gold medalist. Bully then looked into the camera and sent a message to Hulk Hogan to fire them if he has the balls. Ray listed the TNA roster members they already took out tonight, then vowed to destroy the show tonight if Hogan doesnt answer them.
[Q7] Video Package: Brooke Hogan was shown freaking out after Bully Ray turned on her at Lockdown. Back on commentary, Taz chuckled to himself that you would think Brooke would have been happy because her husband is now World champion.
With 28 minutes remaining the show, TNA introduced the main event. First out was Austin Aries, along with Bobby Roode. Sting was then introduced as Ariess opponent. Big reaction for Sting, causing Taz to complain about this crowd being too loud. Tenay noted Sting has returned to the scene of some of his most memorable career victories tonight.
4 STING vs. TNA tag champion AUSTIN ARIES (w/TNA tag champion Bobby Roode)
As the bell sounded, Taz piled on Sting getting dressed down by Hogan, saying he should have seen it coming. As the action started, TNA flashed a graphic for Slammiversary that included Jeff Hardy, which is a reminder that there has been no focus so far on how Hardy feels about dropping the prestigious TNA Title at Lockdown.
In the ring, Aries knocked Sting to the outside, so Roode tried to land some cheap-shots on Sting, but Sting reversed and Stinger-Splashed Roode into the guardrail. Aries tried to make the save for Roode, but Sting moved and Roode ate a double axehandle from his tag partner. Sting then chucked Aries into a chair before posing on the ring apron. The crowd popped for Sting as Impact cut to break.
[Commercial Break]
Back from break, Sting was still in-control as Keneley said Sting has dominated this match. Sting then spotted a shinny penny on the floor, allowing Aries to club Sting from behind to begin wearing down Sting. But, Sting quickly clotheslined Aries over the top rope to the floor. Roode then got in the mix again, so ref Brian Hebner gave Roode the boot from ringside. Roode took forever to leave, though, allowing Aries to punt Sting in the crotch behind the refs back.
[Q8] Aries went on the attack after nailing the low-blow, then started targeting Stings lower body. Aries teased going for a Scorpion Deathlock, then somewhat mocked Miz by pretending not to know how to execute it. How do you do this?! Aries shouted down at Sting, who popped Aries in the mouth to escape. But, Aries came back moments later with a top-rope missile dropkick. Suddenly, Sting popped to his feet, no-selling. Sting did his pose in Ariess face before body-pressing Aries across the ring.
Sting missed with a corner splash, though, and Aries nailed a corner dropkick before nailing his own Stinger Splash. Aries then wanted a Brainbuster, but Sting escaped and hit a Scorpion Deathdrop for a nearfall. Sting, still wrestling in a t-shirt, hit the Scorpion Splash before slapping on the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting sat down on it, but Aces & Eights decided now was the time to attack Sting, causing the match to be thrown out.
WINNER: No Contest at 15:15. The best Sting has looked in the ring in a long time. It helped having an opponent like Aries to work with, as opposed to someone like D.O.C. at Genesis.
As Aces & Eights beat down Sting, Keneley complained about A&E ruining this show. Bully Ray then hit the ring and told Sting that he used him. Ray looked into the camera, shouting toward Hogan that he did something memorable, all right. He asked Hogan where he is, then mockingly called out for everyones hero and dad. Impact cut to break as Ray kept calling out for Hogan.
[Commercial Break]
Its worth noting TNA is running a take-over angle on their website.
Impact returned from break five minutes before the top of the hour with Bully still calling out for Hogan. Ray said they have taken over Impact, then Hogans music played. Ray stopped in his tracks and looked toward the entrance ramp as Hogans entrance played. Hogan then hobbled out on-stage on crutches as Ray shouted, Cmon, dad! from inside the ring.
Hogans music stopped and Hogan said it would be too easy for him to fire Bully after everything he did to this company, the fans, his family, and Sting. Hogan said every dog has his day, and from this moment forward, he is empowering every man and woman in the locker room to band together to fight and eliminate Aces & Eights.
Jeff Hardys music then played and some roster members spilled out to fight Aces & Eights. Tenay flashed back to WCW that the TNA roster needs to be united against Aces & Eights. Taz said this is not right. The camera focused on Ray getting Kurt Angle on the outside to punch him. In the ring, Hardy took a beating. Aces & Eights retained control of this fight as referees scrambled around the ringside area to give time cues to the wrestlers as they brawled.
The brawl came to a standstill as TNA roster members tried to fight back until Ray brought a mic into the ring to silence them with words. Ray shouted toward dad that this must be what he meant by memorable. Taz told Hulk theres nothing he can do about this. Ray then walked up the ramp toward Hogan as Impact hit an over-run period.
[Q9 -- over-run] Ray mockingly said Hogans calvary just got killed by Aces & Eights. He asked Hulk what hes going to do now. Ray, Devon, and D-Lo Brown stood on the entrance ramp staring down Hogan as Impact cut.
SmackDown wrestler Jimmy Uso was arrested Wednesday at 12:47 p.m.
in Hillsborough County, Florida, and charged with driving under the influence,
according to the official website of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
He did not stay in jail for long as he was released on $500 cash bond that day
at 3:08 p.m.
Uso, whose real name is Jonathan Solofa Fatu, was
previously arrested on September 29, 2011 in Tampa, Florida on suspicion of
driving under the influence. An officer observed Fatu at approximately 3:00 a.m.
that day driving the wrong way down a one-way street in a silver Mustang.
- It was reported earlier today that WWE officials are considering
a MMA-style fight for the Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania 29 in
just a few weeks.
F4Wonline.com reports that the match will not be held
under MMA rules.
WWE officials are considering 3 or 4 different
stipulations but they had not decided on anything as of last night's RAW. It's
possible we won't find out the stipulation until the March 25th or April 1st
RAW.
There was some sort of injury to CM Punk during the No DQ match with Kane at
Monday's RAW. When Punk was down after a bad spill, the cameras cut away but
referee Mike Chioda threw up the "X" symbol and a trainer came down to look at
Punk. A few more times during the match, Chioda called for a trainer to come
down but Punk ended up finishing the match.
Maddox Blamed for Bad Highlight Reel Segment on RAW
- Before Monday's RAW hit the air, the original script they had
for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel was a "really bad" one so they changed it
completely and spent hours re-doing the segment. There was also a problem with
the Jeritron that was in the ring. During the playing of The Marine 3 trailer,
the WWE ring crew had to remove the Jeritron from the ring. This caused more
problems for the segment and Jericho was forced to improvise.
The
segment really took a turn for the worse when Brad Maddox came out. The Jeritron
was supposed to be involved in Maddox's presentation but it wasn't in the ring
anymore, he lost track and flubbed his promo on live TV.
Even before
Maddox came out, Vince McMahon had instructed Michael Cole to bury the segment
on commentary. There was some heat on Cole with the feeling that the segment was
bad but most people wouldn't have noticed or said anything if it weren't for his
comments drawing attention.
Backstage, Vince was calling the segment one
of the worse ever and Maddox was the one blamed.
We noted before that WWE was negotiating with other former Divas to return after bringing back The Bella Twins. Apparently they made offers to Maryse and Kelly Kelly also. Kelly and Maryse reportedly denied their first offers but are still in talks.
- WWE officials specifically scripted John Cena not to appear on
Monday's RAW from Indianapolis because WWE Champion The Rock couldn't be there.
They did not want to bring attention to the fact that the WWE Champion wasn't
there on the Road to WrestleMania 29.
They went against the idea of
having Cena come out and cut an in-ring promo because The Rock would have looked
weak not being there to respond to it. They also did not want to put it out
there that Rock was in South Korea at a GI Joe 2 movie premiere. The decision
was made to just air the video package for their match.
It was noted that Drew McIntyre possibly suffered an injury during the RAW
segment with Mark Henry and Ryback on Monday. Drew responded to those reports
via Twitter:
"C'mon Net,I'm a REAL pro wrestler and Celtic.Two giant
lummoxes may put me down hard but ill drag my ass up n fight"
Former
Knockout Upset She Wasn't Invited For One Night Only, Says She's
Heartbroken
Shelly Martinez, who spent a short time in
TNA as Salinas from 2007-2008, will not be at the TNA Knockout One Night Only
PPV. Shelly uploaded a video on her youtube channel, expressing her shock
finding out she was not asked.
Shelly has tried numerous times to make a
return to TNA, sending videos directly to Vince Russo in 2011 in attempt to make
a return to the organization. You can watch those videos here
and here.
Vince McMahon has been a fan of the Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter
storyline but word at RAW last night was that there's a lot of concern about the
angle and its future. The program was originally designed to be a long-term feud
to help get Del Rio as a babyface but those plans may be changing. There's a
feeling that the angle is not getting over on WWE TV but Zeb and Swagger are
getting heat at live events.
Backstage News on WWE Negotiating with Former Divas
The Bella Twins returning to WWE goes back 6 or 7 weeks when
officials decided they wanted more women on TV and wanted to beef the Divas
division up. At first, the plan was to call up some of the Divas from NXT but
that idea was nixed. Then officials decided they wanted to bring back some of
the WWE Divas who had left the company recently.
It's said that some of
the Divas who recently left the company were offered more money than they were
making before. Apparently some of the other Divas haven't accepted offers yet
but are in talks and may be waiting on better offers. The Bella Twins reportedly
accepted WWE's first offer. No word yet on which former Divas are in talks to
return.
3 More Names Ruled Out For TNA Knockout's One Night Only
Three more former TNA Knockouts have taken to their twitter accounts revealing they will not be appearing at the upcoming One Night Only Knockout PPV. Wether they were asked to appear by TNA is currently unknown.
Radiant Rain, perhaps best know for her short stint in TNA as Payton Banks, will not be in Orlando, FL for the event.
Former TNA Knockouts Winter and Sarita will not be at the PPV either. It is not known if either was invited to appear but they both noted they will not be in attendance.
With the addition of these three women, a total of seven girls have revealed they will not be present for the PPV. No former knockouts have confirmed an appearance as of yet. The Knockouts One Night Only PPV will be taped this Sunday on March 17th.
Fans in attendance at last night's RAW in Indianapolis noted that Drew McIntyre
had to be helped to the back by WWE officials after the in-ring segment with
Ryback and Mark Henry. It looked like McIntyre was legitimately injured.
After Monday's episode of Raw went off the air, Undertaker and
Kane left the ring and raised their arms when they got to the stage, in memory
of Paul Bearer.
John Cena teamed with Ryback to face The Shield in the
dark match main event. Cena & Ryback got the victory via disqualification
after Reigns hit Ryback with a chair.
Following the match, Shield went

main event at TNA Lockdown 2013 were plants. The report goes on to mention that
the attendance at Lockdown was approximately 10,000 people.
With the
plants and huge attendance number for a TNA event, this could also indicate that
the event was heavily papered.
On Sunday night, March 10, TNA Wrestling presented the annual "Lockdown" event live on Pay-Per-View from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas! If you missed Lockdown, catch the replay on your Pay-Per-View provider or online at TNAOnDemand.com
