Here’s Impact in case you missed it:
From The Cincinnatti Gardens Arena in Cincinnatti, Ohio:
Hosted by “The Professor” Mike Tenay and Taz.
Aces and Eights (Bully Ray, Brooke Tessmacher, Mike Knox and Garett Bischoff) open up this week as Bully Ray accepted Mr. Anderson’s challenge for the No Disqualification Match next week. Bully vowed that Anderson will be piledrived through the stage, and Anderson appeared, and vowed that Aces and Eights will be no more after next week. He also vowed that if he lost, he will leave TNA to be with his pregnant wife and soon-to-be-born twin children. Bully told him, “I would love to piledrive your pregnant wife!”, and Anderson assaulted Aces and Eights and ran them out of the ring. He then issued an instant challenge for a match….
1. Mr. Anderson vs. Mike Knox.
Mr. Anderson was not in his wrestling gear for this match.
THE WINNER: MR. ANDERSON…………..ANDERSON!!!
2. Christopher Daniels vs. Joseph Park.
THE WINNER: CHRISTOPHER DANIELS.
3. A 2-ON-1 HANDICAP MATCH: Norv Fernan and Daniel Barnes vs. Ethan Carter III.
A new Friends of A.J. segment featured TNA World Heavyweight Champion “The Phenomenal” A.J. Styles meeting AAA (Asistencia, Asesoria y Administracion) President Joaquin Roldan while still defending the title in Mexico, and participating in tag team matches.
TNA President Dixie Carter stated that without A.J., the quality of the product went up, much to the anger and disgust of everyone. She then summoned the remaining 8-Man Tournament competitors Bobby Roode, “Cowboy” James Storm, Magnus and Samoa Joe to announce their matches. Next week at Turning Point 2013, Roode and Storm will face-off in a Bullrope Match, and Magnus and Samoa Joe will face-off in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Samoa Joe slammed Dixie for creating the tournament to cover up the fact that she couldn’t reach a new deal with A.J.
THE WINNER: THE UNDEFEATED ETHAN CARTER III.
4. A NON-TITLE KNOCKOUTS MATCH: TNA Knockouts Champion Gail Kim with Lei’D Tapa vs. Hanna Blossom.
THE WINNER: GAIL KIM!!!
Joseph Park mentioned a statement that Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) told him that he will never be like his big brother “The Monster” Abyss. He stated that they’re right, because Abyss is a future Hall of Famer. He also stated that he’s continuously asked about the whereabouts of Abyss, and stated that Abyss is crazy and who knows where he is. He then issued an open challenge next week………………to Abyss!!!
5. AN 8-MAN WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT MAIN EVENT SUBMISSION MATCH: Kurt Angle vs. Austin Aries.
THE WINNER: KURT ANGLE!!!
After the match, Mr. Anderson, who brutalized and handcuffed Garett Bischoff backstage, brought him out and piledrived him on the stage!!!
The main event was the highlight match of the night!!!
Kurt Angle and Austin Aries are the wrestlers of the night!!!
The surprise appearance of Holly Blossom, and the announcement of the upcoming birth of Mr. Anderson’s children are the highlights of the night!!!
ANALYSIS: Let’s hope that we won’t hear Dixie’s mouth next week, and I extend my full congratulations to Mr. Anderson on starting a family.
