Dark matches:

* Bobby Fish vs. Rob Eckos. Winner via springboard moonsault off the top turnbuckle, Bobby Fish.

* Okada vs. Jeremy Buck. Winner via 450 splash, Jeremy Buck.

TNA Impact (Airing next Thursday on Spike TV):

* Tommy Dreamer comes to the ring. He calls Raven out immediately. Raven stays at the entrance. Dreamer asks him why he did it. He knew what this meant to him. Dreamer says they were best of friends and worst of enemies. Raven asks him if he thought he'd ever forgive Dreamer for stealing his girl? Dreamer's kids should have been his kids. They shouldn't be calling him Uncle Scotty, they should be calling him Daddy, just like his wife will. Dreamer attacks Raven. Abyss comes and attacks Dreamer. RVD comes out with a chair and attacks Abyss. Raven DDTs Dreamer on the stage. Mick Foley comes out and hits Raven with a barbwire bat and says at Hardcore Justice there will be a winner as he will be the special guest referee, quote the Foley, nevermore.

* The Beautiful People of Lacey Von Erich & Velvet Sky vs. Taylor Wilde & Hamada. During the match the Masked Rider came out and Madison Rayne came out on the ramp. The Masked Rider gave Lacey a chair while the referee was knocked out but Taylor dropkicked it into Lacey and got the win. Winners and new Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Taylor Wilde & Hamada. That match was absolutely horrible and will have to be edited heavily. Lacey had no idea what she was doing.

* Rob Terry vs. AJ Styles w/Kazarian. I have to assume it's for the title since AJ said he's defending it on every show. Hebner just held the belt up so it's for the title. Winner via springboard 450 splash, AJ Styles

* Match 4 of the best of 5: Ultimate X Match - Beer Money, Inc. vs. The Motor City Machine Guns. Before the match happened and Ultimate X was being set up, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne were shown fighting backstage as security breaks it up. Winners: Motor City Machine Guns. Super awesome match that will be a match of the year candidate.

* Huge announcement is teased up next. Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Miss Tessmacher come out. Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machine Guns is next week on the special Impact, Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy vs. whoever accepts his challenge. Nash's music hits and he comes out and asks why his name wasn't mentioned. Hogan tells him it's time for guys like him and Nash to step back and let the young guys take over and have their shot. Hogan says no more politics and no more smoke and mirrors. Nash asks Hogan if he's kidding. He says Hogan is the king of politics. Bischoff screams at Nash that there's no more room for cliques and politics. Nash asks him if he ever met someone he knew was the wrong guy to mess with? He says he's that guy and then shoves Bischoff over. Hogan gets some shots on Nash but Nash gives him a low blow. Nash teases a powerbomb on a chair but Jeff Jarrett breaks it up. Jarrett gets in some punches of his own and gets ready to deliver a chair shot but Sting comes out in red face paint and hits Jarrett's chair with his bat, taking out Jarrett. Nash during this time gave Hogan the weakest chair shot ever. Sting then gives Nash the bat but everybody was laid out so he didn't use it. Sting and Nash leave together and medics come out to check on Hogan.

* There other matches announced for the special Impact but I couldn't hear it. There was one involvng Abyss with Bischoff as special guest referee.

* Orlando Jordan vs. D'Angelo Dinero. During the match, Eric Young runs out to get as much of the Dinero dollars as he can. This distracts Jordan and let's Pope take over and hit a new move where he jumps to the top rope and drops down to hit a edgeocution and win the match. Afterwards, Matt Morgan runs out and hits a Carbon Footprint on Dinero. Mr. Anderson runs out for the save. The security tag team comes out and mocks Anderson and makes him leave.

* Backstage, Christy Hemme interviews Ric Flair and asks if he can beat Lethal this time around. Flair does his usual Flair awesome interview about his clothes and how he's a wrestling god and WOOOOOOOOO I'M THE NATCHA BOY!

* Street fight: Jay Lethal vs. Ric Flair. Lethal wrestles in jeans and an under shirt, Flair wrestles in his suit. Douglas Williams comes out to ringside during the match. Winner due to help from Williams, Ric Flair. Flair got stripped almost naked and bled a ton. Lots of weapon shots. Flair's body is so broken down it's hard to watch.

* Impact main event: Abyss & Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer & Rob Van Dam. Winner after a 5 Star Frog Splash to Raven, RVD & Tommy Dreamer. Abyss attacks RVD and Dreamer after the match. He chokeslams RVD and Dreamer. Stevie Richards runs out for the save but is taken out. Rhino tries and gets the same. Team 3D comes out but Raven takes them out with a chair. The lights go out and when they come back on The Sandman is there and delivers tons of Singapore cane shots to Raven and Abyss. All the ECW guys celebrate in the ring afterwards. Beers are brought out by Jerry Lynn, Simon Diamond, Al Snow and Hulk Hogan. Sandman does the beer can to the head gimmick. They play Enter Sandman so I have to assume we're off the air.

* They're celebrating in the ring for a long time and have thrown numerous beer cans into the crowd and spit beer all over the place. SoCal Val is now in the ring and she drank beer and got beer dumped on her. The crowd is going crazy as they're witnessing one of the biggest reunions of ECW originals as you'll probably ever see again.

Xplosion:

* Daffney vs. Hamada. Winner via Hamada Driver, Hamada. Terrible, terrible match. After the match, Daffney attacked Hamada and beat her down. Daffney pulled a chain out of her boot and choked her out until Taylor Wilde ran down to make the mat save.

* Desmond Wolfe w/Chelsea & Magnus vs. Ink Inc.. Chelsea distracted Neal with his dog tags which allowed Wolfe and Magnus to hit a sideslam/running kick combo for the win. After the match the Brits and Chelsea celebrate in the ring. Looks like Chelsea is a full blown heel again.

Impact:

*Tommy Dreamer calls out Raven to explain his actions last week. Dreamer asks why he attacked him last week and said that his kids call him "Uncle Scotty" and now he has to explain to them what happened. Raven says he attacked Dreamer because he's been waiting to get at Dreamer since Dreamer stole his girl and married her. Dreamer went after Raven but Abyss showed up to make it a two on one. RVD hit the scene to make the save and brawled with Abyss. Raven DDT'd Dreamer on the stage. Mick Foley came out to help Dreamer and announced at the PPV it will be Dreamer vs. Raven in a Final Showdown with Foley as the guest referee.

*Hamada and Taylor Wilde defeated Lacey Von Erich and Velvet Sky to become to new TNA Knockouts Tag Team
champions. Madison Rayne and the motorcycle woman show up on the ramp, distracting the champions to set up the finish.

*AJ Styles pinned Rob Terry after a lowblow to retain the TNA Global TV title.

*Later tonight is Abyss and Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer and Rob Van Dam.

*Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne are shown backstage being restrained by security because she's so angry over the loss of the Knockouts Tag titles.

*In a "Capture the X" style Ultimate X Match, it's Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machineguns. Robert Roode cuts a promo saying that The Guns have proven they are great and even though it's their type of match, Beer Money are taking the titles tonight. The Guns respond that the only way they are taking the belts is from their cold, dead hands. There are lots of great spots to open the match and some nice back and forth wrestling. Beer Money gets the upper hand but can't get the X because Roode is afraid of heights and Storm appears to have had a little too much to drink. Another great match between the two teams, with the end being Alex Shelley sliding acrossd the ropes while Roode walked across like a tight rope. They fought near the X and Roode got crotched and bumped into the ring while Shelley grabbed the X. They are tied 2-2.

*Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Miss Tessmacher come to the ring. He announced RVD vs. Abyss match on the big Impact will be a "Stairway to Janice" match as a takeoff on the old ECW Stairway to Hell bout. Bischoff will be the referee. He announces the final Beer Money vs. Motor City Machineguns bout, Mr. Anderson vs. Pope Dinero, Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy having an open challenge that night as well. Kevin Nash comes out and says he's finally got some face time with Hulk and Eric. Hogan tells Nash it's time to step out of the spotlight and let the younger talents take over. Nash says he doesn't like that and lays out Bischoff. Hogan and Nash go face to face and Nash takes him out. Nash grtabs a chair but Jeff Jarrett hits the ring. He gets the chair and is about to use it but suddenly Sting shows up, in red facepaint and lays out Jarrett with a bat. Nash and Sting leave everyone laying.

*Orlando Jordan vs. Pope Dinero. Jordan and Pope face off. Jordan gets Pope in the corner and starts grinding on him, which Pope doesn;t like. Eric Young runs out and starts collecting all the money that fell during Pope's speech. That distracts Jordan, who Pope surprises with a pin. Matt Morgan attacks Pope after the match but Ken Anderson makes the save. Pope isn't happy Anderson did. The TNA security guards from last week show up and yell at Anderson as well.

*Backstage, Christy Hemme informs Ric Flair that if any member of Fortune interferes, Flair is suspended for 90 days.

*Jay Lethal vs. Ric Flair in a Street Fight. Flair is busted open early. His clothes are ripped off, leaving him battling in underwear and one sock. Douglas Williams shows up to help Flair. We get a Moon over Orlando. Flair finally gets the pin on Lethal after Williams pushes Jay's leg off the ropes.

*TNA champion Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer defeated Raven and Abyss in a pretty good tag match. Van Dam nailed the five star frog splash on Raven. Abyss attacked them after the match but the ECW crew hit the ring. Abyss got the upper hand but the lights went out and when they returned, The Sandman was in the ring with the Singapore Cane and cleaned house. That should be where the show ends.

After they went off the air, they played "Enter Sandman" and all the ECW guys and Hulk Hogan had a beer bash in the ring.

I wonder what Round 5'll be. I'm thinking 2 out of 3 falls, 30 minute Iron Team or Full Metal Mayhem.

Does anyone want actually want to see Hogan/Jarrett feuding with Sting/Nash :rolleyes:

It was good seeing Hamada back I hope they give her a knockout title run

Furious-Red

God that Knockouts Match was terrible , why did they have Lacey in for most of the match????? Just have Sky do most of the work and have Lacey take the pin.

Another decent Impact loved the Guns/Money match

michael.etc...

Guess I'm against the grain right now on this forum, but I thought that was a truly terrible Impact. The Flair/Lethal match was appalling.

Liked the Guns/Beer Money match- as always- though again, not impressed with throwing out the Ultimate X stip.

They've definitely had better shows than that recently though.
