OFFICIAL TNA IMPACT RESULTS FOR AUGUST 20, 2007
By Mike Kerrigan

The show begins with Crystal walking with Team Pacman. She asks the team why they attacked Eric Young and then spray painted him. Pacman says that he gave Eric what he wanted; a free autograph. “There may even be another charity autograph tonight.”

In the Angles’ locker-room, Jeremy Borash is with Kurt and Karen. Kurt says that none of the four competitors that are in the match tonight deserve to be his partner and most of them hate him. Karen tells him not to worry and that she’ll handle everything and walks off. Kurt says that he’s worried that she’ll try and talk to Joe.

Team 3D vs. the Motor City Machine Guns is next, but before the match could start, Scott Steiner came out and tried to get in the ring with Team 3D. Ray and Devon quickly attacked Scott – even slamming a chair on his recently injured throat. Team 3D then powerbombed him through a table.

Shelley and Sabin were still in the ring and said that they wanted a match so they could help boost the ratings. VKM answered the call. At first, it seemed like the Machine Guns were going to win, but VKM quickly used the size and strength to their advantage. Kip gave Sabin a cobra clutch slam and BG covered him for the pin. VKM asked if there were any other “worthy” teams. Triple X, LAX, and Eric Young & Sharkboy all showed up. All four teams battled it out as cameras went to the back.

Karen Angle went into Samoa Joe’s locker-room and was quickly told by Joe to leave before he does something he’ll regret. Karen persistently told Joe to work together with Kurt. Joe said that he will be Angle’s partner after tonight and that he wants Karen to be there when he breaks Kurt apart.

Karen then tried to convince Christian Cage that if he worked together with Kurt, he could get a title shot. Cage didn’t buy it and told AJ that he’s going to help Cage win tonight. As Cage and Tomko leave, AJ asks Karen if the offer is for him as well. Karen tells AJ to “just win” and kisses him goodbye. AJ smiled and told JB “She wants me…just don’t tell Kurt.”

James Storm is still on a mission to find Rhino. This week in his “Pub Crawl”, he says that last week’s bars were way too high class for Rhino. Storm then enters another bar and threatens everyone to tell him if Rhino was here or he’ll kick everyone’s ass. Well, the bar patrons didn’t take too kindly to Storm’s words and all started walking toward him with pool sticks in hand. Strom eventually found out that Rhino was indeed there and tells one guy to call him if Rhino is there again.

The Main Event is up next with Christian Cage vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sting, to determine who the co-tag team champion with Kurt Angle will be. Before the match begins, Karen tries to tell Sting that he and Kurt could change the world for the kids for the better as champions. Sting tells her “If you’re so worried about the kids, you’d change that dress.” In the beginning of the match, AJ and Cage attacked as a unit, but soon after the two began fighting to become the winner. The end of the match saw Cage and Joe fight to the back of the arena, leaving AJ and Sting in the ring. While the ref was distracted Tomko came out and kicked Sting in the head, but AJ could only get a 2 count. Then somehow, Sting was able to get AJ in the Scorpion Death Lock and become one half of the tag team champions.

After the match, Kurt Angle reluctantly gave Sting is newly won title. Kurt extended his hand in congratulations and Sting obliges. Sting then celebrated around the ring until Team Pacman came down. Truth attacked Sting, as Pac “autographed” Sting’s back. Kurt came to the aid of Sting and Team Pacman ran up the ramp as iMPACT! came to a close.
