Impact Opener:
Impact starts with Abyss throwing chairs in the ring and then he makes his way towards So Cal Val. He leaps at a few fans and grabs their chairs and throws them into the pile in the ring. He continues to follow around the ring and points at her when she trips, and Hogan comes to the ring and tells Abyss to get in the ring. Abyss gets to the ropes but Eric Bischoff runs down the ramp and gets in Hogan's way and tells him what he is doing is insane. Security comes in and gets between Abyss and Hogan, and Bischoff is trying to get Abyss to back down, and then calls him an ungrateful son of a b***h and slaps him in the face. Abyss knocks out the security guards and then points at Bischoff, and Hogan smacks him in the back with one of the chairs.
