-We get a video package from last week’s show.

-Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

Winner: Hernandez @ 6:10 via pin
# That was a fine little opener. They saved the junk until the end and Hernandez overcomes the odds once again and gets the win. If they do the LAX split I can see Homicide coming back, taking the pin again in the title match and Hernandez getting pissed about it because he has won on his own and could say that Homicide is holding him back.
RATING: **½

-JB is with AJ Styles. He’s wearing the Gold Medal and says to address him as a Gold Medallist. AJ says the soap opera will unfold and it won’t be pretty. He also knows Kurt wants this back and he will give him a chance, in a ladder match tonight. Last week was Kurt’s way, but tonight it is his way. Angle, who is being held back by security is here screaming that he wants his medals back.

-Tenay and West speculate about the bat and guitar appearances and then hype the rest of the show.

# Well Eric Young and BG James are a completely random pairing. The Guns continue to lose, which is disheartening. They look to be headed towards a heel turn, which I don’t exactly get.
RATING: **

-After the match Shelley shakes with them, BG does the little brother head rub to Sabin and he slaps BG! They all brawl and security breaks them up. BG promises to take respect from them.

-JB is with Angle, and he warns Angle to respect Booker’s Locker room. Angle goes in and Booker demand she take his shoes off. Angles does and asks a favor, and Booker seems to be using a Hispanic accent this week. Tremendous. Angle explains that he has a ladder match, and asks Booker to be in his corner just in case a certain someone with a guitar shows up. Booker agrees, and discusses his bout with Rhinoceros. Booker offers him champagne, but Angle says he doesn’t drink so Booker says all the more for him. Angle doesn’t drink? The Pittsburgh police would beg to differ.

-We get a history video package of Val, Lethal and Dutt.

~KAREN’S ANGLE~
Karen’s guest is Val this week. They discuss her courtship with Jay, and the drama with Sonjay. Val doesn’t know what to do and feels lost.

Dutt says to pick him and that he will do anything to help her make that choice. He goes to kiss her and Jay DIVES into the scene and attacks him.

-Gail Kim prepares for her final TNA match.

-Tenay talked with Kevin Nash earlier in the day. Nash explains his relationship with Joe. He helped get Joe into TNA, he saw tapes of him and saw a uniqueness to him that could help TNA. They spent time together, and he likes him, they are friends. Nash says he hasn’t got to Joe that the mental game is just as important as the physical. His temper hurt him, and it could cost him the world title. Talk turns to Sting, and Nash says he will not speak for Steve, but they go back 20-years, and it was a different business then. There weren’t boys there, they were all men. He gave Harley Race respect right away, and did business the right way. The kids these days don’t do that. Nash says the kids don’t care about the pecking order, and maybe that is why Sting is upset. Sting will be here next week and will speak for himself.

-Earlier today Lauren caught up with the Beautiful People, and at No Surrender Angelina Love will face Taylor Wilde for the Knockouts Title. She will beat the midget for the title and give it a makeover. Kip arrives and kicks out Taylor’s stylist. He messes up her hair and the Beautiful People attack and give her a “makeover.”

-JB is with Rhino. Rhino says that there is a lot of drama around here, but none of it has to do with wrestling. People are choosing side, but he is here to wrestle. He has to face Booker T, and he will defeat him and get in the main event match for the TNA World Title. He’ll GORE him. GORE him he says, for sure.

RATING: **¾

-Bashir attacks Creed, but Williams is pissed about this and they argue.

-JB is with the Rock and Rave Infection and the Prince Justice Brotherhood. The Infection is being served for insulting Rock and Roll. Curry Man discusses Hanna Montana and hits on Hemme. The Rock and Rave lay them out Guitar Hero style.

RATING: **½

-Saeed and Kong beat down Kim after the match. They lay out the chair and Kong tosses the red to the floor. Kong grabs Kim as another ref comes in, and Kong grabs him by the throat and tosses him. Katie Kim now enters the ring and covers her “sister” up. Kong sees her and gets in her face, grabs her and goes for the Kong bomb…but ODB and Roxxi are here with chairs to try and stop this.

After that gauntlet match, you wouldn’t think Angle would want any part of a ladder this soon. Booker is out with Angle, he has a ladder and sets t up right away.

# Seriously, if you are going to do a ladder match in the main event can we advertise it and maybe, not break it up with the commercial? Come on. Anyway this was fine for a TV ladder match, but even without the crazy spots it would have been nice if they would have picked up the action a bit. I didn’t want them to give away a total PPV performance, but when you have AJ and Kurt, you tend to expect more.
RATING: **¾

-End scene…

“

RATING: **

-JB is with Kurt Angle, with gold medal. He is holding his neck brace and JB asks how his neck is. Angle says it is sore, stiff, injured; not a secret. He has worn it all week, but it IS Olympic week, better yet, Angle week. A hero was born in 1996 as he won a gold medal. He is the greatest wrestler that ever lived, but TNA doesn’t see that. He had to fight in a last man standing match, not a wrestling match. He is a role model, and he abided by the rules. AJ didn’t. He cheated to win and attacked him and tried to break his neck twice, thank God for Sting saving him. Tonight he chooses the match, and he says that they will have a gold medal challenge. No ropes, three two minute periods and points count. The winner gets the gold medal. He won the gold medal with a broken FRICKEN NECK, and can do it again with an injured one. Get ready for a mauling AJ, it’s real, it’s damn real!

-JB is with AJ Styles. JB runs down the events of Hard Justice, and AJ says he promised that Kurt Angle would not get up. He stood behind that and he did not get back up. JB brings up Sting, and AJ says a man he looked up too chose him to make an example out of. He was wrong about Sting. He is no different from Angle, but if he thinks he will make an example out of AJ, he is damn wrong. AJ accepts the challenge, and says the gold will come home with him tonight.

-West and Tenay speculate about the mystery guitar and Sting’s appearance at the PPV.

-Lauren is with Matt Morgan, and he says that he has goals. Since he began he has been a PPV main event waiting to happen, and in TNA you make opportunity. He set a goal when he set foot in TNA, and that is to become the world champion and he doesn’t care who it is he has to beat. Stack the guys up against him, because the blue print will knock them down.

Matt Morgan vs. Johnny Devine

Devine gets no entrance, sup jobber? Morgan does his Brock hop, they stand off, Devine talks shit and slaps Morgan. He runs, Morgan chases and tosses him down. Clothesline from Morgan, gets the corner charge but then misses a big boot and crotches himself. Devine clubs away at him, Morgan tosses him down and then takes his head off with a big boot. HELLEVATOR for Devine and that is all.

Winner: Matt Morgan @ 1:00 via pin

-Team 3D is out and attacks Morgan. They beat him down and Abyss is now out to make the save. He tosses down a cameraman, black hole slam for Devine, who was tossed into Abyss by 3D. Morgan and Abyss stand off, Morgan offers to shake his hand and Abyss accepts. THE MEGA POW…oh wait, wrong year.

KAREN’S ANGLE
Karen’s guests this week are the Beautiful People, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. They requested to be on the show, and they are heart broken because nobody likes them. Angelina cries a bit, so fake and she bitches about the tissue given to her. Karen says they should be nice and they laugh her off. She says they are whining and are here to introduce someone they hired to primp and dress them. Kip James. Kill me. He mocks Karen and calls her a witch. Karen ends the interview as Kip makes fun of her even more.

-Katie Kim, Gail’s sister is in attendance.

-Lauren is with Jay Lethal, and he is upset because Val hasn’t spoken to him since the PPV. He says Val needs to choose between he and Sonjay. Val had a big heart, which is why he loves her, but when it comes to Sonjay, screw her. This thing is NOT over until he says it is over.

-Bashir talks, he doesn’t care if we boo or cheer him, because he understands. He stole everything lady America had, money, cars, real estate, and fame. It wasn’t difficult to take because she wanted someone to have it. But as we lazily stood by for a handout, the Middle Eastern Nightmare took his. But he doesn’t love lady America, no; he just loves raping her. Seriously.

Sheik Abdul Bashir vs. Jay Lethal

Jay tackles him and starts to beat his ass for that rape comment. Chops by Jay, a whip, hip toss, cartwheel and dropkick all connect. To the ropes, Bashir to the floor and Jay gets a suicide dive! Back in the ring we go, double ax smash off the top by Jay gets 2. An Irish whip, reversal and Bashir then pulls Jay off the 2nd rope.

Rights in the corner by Jay, lays the boots to Bashir and the ref backs him off. Bashir gets a SPIKE and nails Jay in the throat. A boot and DDT by Bashir, the WMD, gets the win.

Winner: Sheik Abdul Bashir @ 5:25 via pin
# Not a bad little match. Bashir is doing the classic foreign heel gimmick, and it works in the ring. But the rape and “WMD” deal are already turning people off, judging by my IM’s during the match.
RATING: *¾

-Sonjay is out after the match and goes up top and gets a 450 on Jay.

-JB is with Booker T and Sharmell. Booker looks insane and says what is on his mind is the guitar. He still has the bump on his head. He had Joe beat in the six sides of steel with weapons that will hurt a man. Is it a joke? Doesn’t that hick have an interest in the company? Well if you mess with the bull and you get the horns. And if you mess with Booker, you get his foot up your… He isn’t going there. He will let his actions speak for him.

-We get a Sting video package.

-After Hard Justice they left the cameras rolling and we see Nash and Sting talking. Sting says he is not confused at all, and he has run out of patience. His clock is ticking, and Nash should check his because it is now or never.

Team 3D vs. Samoa Joe and Kevin Nash

Devon and Joe will kick things off for this tag match. Off the ropes and Joe levels Devon. Back elbow and kick in the corner, and Devon is down. Devon battles back, tag to Ray and a double suplex on Joe and Ray covers for 2. Jabs by Joe, off the ropes and a snap mare Ray. Chops, kicks and a knee drop all connect.

We are back from commercial @ 6:45 with 3D in control over Nash. Devon works the knee of Nash, no torn quad so we’re ok thus far. Devon cannon balls the knee, tags Ray and he comes in and sends Joe to the floor. Single leg by Ray, knee bar applied and Nash tries to stay alive. Single leg crab by Ray, he uses the ropes for leverage and then releases the hold. Tag to Devon, Ray whips him and a boot by Nash to counter. Clothesline for Ray and all three are down.

After the match Joe gets a chair and just lays an ass whooping on Devon and Nash take sit away. Joe argues with the ref, and then lays him out! They reverse the decision.

Winners: Team 3D @ 10:30 via DQ
# This was good overall. 3D worked the basic tag formula on Nash, Joe ran wild and looked good. Also Joe returning to a bad ass that doesn’t whine will be a good thing, if that happens.
RATING: **

-Nash tells Joe he cost them the win, but Joe doesn’t care.

-Taylor and Hemme get prepared for their match.

-Traci Brooks makes her way to the ring to be our special referee.

Non-Title Match: Taylor Wilde © vs. Christy Hemme Traci Brooks is the Special Referee

To the 2nd rope and misses the split leg drop from the ropes. Wilde gets a German with a bridge for the win.

Winner: Taylor Wilde @ 3:00 via pin
# That sucked. Blown moves hurt the match, and there is NO reason Christy Hemme should be getting that much offense in on the champ. She shouldn’t even be in the ring.
RATING: DUD

-KONG and Saeed are out now. Wilde attacks as she enters the ring, Brooks tries to separate them, grabs Kong by the hair and Kong chokeslams her!

-Rough Cuts with Consequences Creed is up next.

-Don and Mike say that the segments are cool so that we can learn about the person, good call chief.

-Lauren is with LAX, minus Homicide. Hector is pissed and says Homicide is not here due to what Beer Money did to him. If you attack someone in the family, you attack the entire family. Hernandez says when they took out Homicide, they took every thing from him. Not the titles, his brother. He is going back to the old ways, 5150 style, PRISON RULES WHITE BOY! I think he was nicely saying that he’s going to make Storm his bitch.

-We get a video package of Beer Money winning the tag titles.

-Lauren is with Beer Money. They joke about Hernandez being upset. Roode says they beat them for the titles and they are on top of the world. Roode says they are the champions, and asks where Strom’s belt is. He hid it under his “place belt here” shirt. Storm calls Hernandez queer, makes fun of drive through Mexican food (Jackie says she wants a beef taco, and they say no surprise there) and they are generally awesome.

James Storm w/Roode and Miss Jackie vs. Hernandez w/Salinas and Hector Guerrero

Hernandez attacks Storm on the floor and we’re underway! Hernandez beats him down, tossed him in the ring and gets a big corner splash. He tosses Storm to the floor and BIG DIVE onto Beer Money!

Border Toss stopped by Roode, Hernandez sends him to the barricade and Storm gets a boot and leaps off the 2nd rope, caught and a SIT OUT MEX BOMB by Hernandez ends it.

Winner: Hernandez @ 5:00 via pin
# It wasn’t bad, but lacked some flow. Hernandez does have potential as a singles, but I think he needs to be in there with the right guy. The match was more about the interference from Roode and Jackie, with Hernandez overcoming it for the win. This should move to Hernandez vs. Roode next week, and when Homicide is back, a title rematch.
RATING: *¾

-Jim Cornette is out and says next week it is Hernandez vs. Roode. Also next week, Gail Kim will face Kong in a Knockouts Street Fight. At No Surrender, Joe will be in a four ways to glory match, with three challengers. They will have qualifiers, and next week Rhino faces Booker T for a slot in the match.

Olympic Rules Match: Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles Kurt’s Gold Medal is on the line

THE RULES:
No ropes
Three two minute periods
2pts for a takedown

A pin ends it

LAY AND PRAY! AJ fights up, gets a toss and the ref is down. OLYMPIC REF BUMP! A clothesline by Angle as the ref is down, LIGHTS OUT, Sting’s music and as they come back on he has a bat. LIGHTS OUT, JJ’s MUSIC! Light back on and AJ has a guitar and WAFFLES ANGLE! Angle is bleeding from the cut from that ladder shot, and AJ covers for the win.

He hasn’t forgotten the hours in the hospital after going through the glass table. He says they are impressive, and they are only the greatest tag team because he went singles. He knows that they want to take Cage and Rhino out before they become the best. It’s like this, tonight they have another chance to end them. Do him a favor, let him know how it works out for them. Rhino says if they want to end them and make them bleed, well, he and Cage are in. Ask yourselves what will you do when he tears you in half with the GORE through a glass table. What will you do then?

RATING: **½

-After the match they all shake with Jay, but Shelley refuses to shake with Creed and leaves pissed off.

Frank Trigg is her guest. He mentions that she is cheating on Kurt. They play nice, and Trigg discusses starting in MMA, and he has a supportive wife who never wanted to be on TV. He has known Kurt before she did. Trigg says Kurt is great, but maybe he changed since she banged AJ. She gets flustered and wants to end the interview. She slaps him and Trigg breaks the Phi Delta Slam guy’s nose as he tried to stop it and it ends. DRAMA. Or not.

# That was tons of fun, but too short as we lost over 2-minutes on the commercial. Beer Money gets revenge heading into the PPV, and it sucks to be Homicide.
RATING: **¼

-After the match Devine brings Ray a kendo stick and he wipes out the good guys. 3D on Hernandez! Beer Money hits the DUI (Powerbomb/neck breaker combo) on Cage!

Who the hell asked for Starship Troopers III?

-JB is with Booker and Sharmell in the PIMP locker room. They talk about the main event as well as the PPV Sunday. JB asks if Booker will be the champion next week. He tells Jeremiah that Joe can’t beat me, he told us all that. He also proved it at Victory Road. Joe punished him a lot, but he didn’t beat Booker. He sits here as THE TNA World Champion. And tonight, gauntlet match, they will pick up where they left off and he will one up Joe tonight. He came to TNA to prove that he is the best. JB asks about Sting, and Booker says Sting wouldn’t miss it for anything. The real batman will show up tonight and at the PPV. They all drink champagne. See, TNA doesn’t have a wellness policy.

-Tenay and West run down the Hard Justice Card again:

* TNA World Title Six Sides of Steel Weapons Filled Cage Match: Samoa Joe © vs. Booker T

-Lauren is with Joe, and tells him what Booker just said. Joe then asks why Sting had to blindside him these past three weeks? Sting is no ICON, he is a coward. And when he gets his hand son him he will turn the white makeup red. Joe then says he didn’t go far enough at Victory Road. He was merciful. But at Hard Justice he is coming for his belt, and there is nothing Booker can do about it.

-We get a video package of “Sting’s Actions.”

-JB is with AJ. In regards to Kurt Angle, AJ says Angle may be focused on him and that’s fine. But turning a nobody into a somebody? AJ helped build this company 6-years ago. If anything, it was Angle that jumped on the bandwagon and AJ made friends with him. As far as Karen goes, he looked him in the eyes and denied it. There is nothing else he can do, other than that. And the comparing himself to troops? No, Angle is a punk who got lucky. At the PPV bring Tomko, Trigg and anyone else, because he will be the last man standing.

-JB is the ring announcer for the 8-Man Weapons Filled Gauntlet Match. 2-men will start, and then 2-minutes later 2-more men will enter. Over the top rope rules, until the final two men and then it is pin or submission. Each man may bring a weapon of his choice with them to the ring.

Clash try by AJ, but Angle backdrops him to the apron and a springboard superman forearm by AJ! AJ wedges a chair in the corner, Angle up and gets a boot and uppercuts to AJ. They counter each other and Angle finally catapults AJ into the chair. BG James and Kip James are next. They had a chair and a road sign. They brawl on the floor and BG is slammed to the barricade. Kip has a dead end sign, apparently talking about his career (Thanks Lansdell.) Angle eats the ladder that was set up and he is busted open badly. Refs check on him as he is COVERED in blood already. That’s a lot of blood. Overhead belly to belly by Angle who is pouring blood right now. PELE by AJ! Joe and Booker are now out and they battle. Joe has the baton, Booker with the bat.

Winner: Samoa Joe @ 14:05 via pin
# Not bad really, Angle gutted through with the gusher and looked good overall. Joe got to look dominant with the win, but it was very hectic. The ending played off of the weeks of Joe/Booker/Sting stuff and Angle and AJ got their time, hyping their match at the PPV.
RATING: **

-Joe calls out Booker and says that at Hard Justice the champ will come for his belt. After he is down with Booker, STING, you’re next. Sting’s music hits, the lights go down and we see Sting in the rafters.

-We get a highlight video with music from F.I.L.T.H.E.E.

-End scene…
