411’s TNA Impact Report 09.23.15

Welcome back everyone to 411Mania! This is Aaron Scott saying hello and good evening this is the official 411Mania report of TNA Impact Wrestling! Last week we saw a Lethal Lockdown match that kept control of TNA from Jeff Jarrett once and for all. Tonight we see the announcement from the new 100 percent owner Dixie Carter on the main event of Bound for Glory. So far the matches for TNA’s supercard of the year are stacked with title fights and tonight will be no different as our main event sees the valiant Rockstar Spud taking on E C 3 with the TNA World Heavyweight Title belt on the line. Jeff Hardy and Tyrus will be in Carter’s corner. In addition, Gail Kim will defend her new Knockouts Title against Jade of the Dollhouse. Tigre Uno will defend against Kenny King in a match for the X-Division Championship. And Eric Young will have to answer for his crimes against TNA to the federation he turned his back on. Before the bell, two exclusive shorts from TNA Impact Wrestling’s Youtube channel, The Question Mark and Ethan Carter III’s thoughts on his title fight tonight against Rockstar Spud! Match times are not exact, card subject to change, let’s take you right now to the really big show!

Dixie Carter has a Bound for Glory Announcement

The lights come up as Drew Galloway is coming down the aisle, your announcers are Josh Matthews and Pope Daddy! Dixie Carter is in the ring and now everyone on team TNA is standing inside the six sided circle. Drew thanks Dixie and puts over the passion they have for the platform their company provides them. He says there are no leaders in the federation, only equals. TNA are the warriors and when called up they will always #StandUp. Carter says she owes them a chance and says the World Title will be defended against the winner of

Bram vs Eddie Edwards vs Davey Richards vs Lashley vs Drew Galloway

Tonight in our new main event. But she needs to call out Eric Young.

Young makes his way out, brandishing the leg of Chris Melendez. He threatens Dixie as he makes his way to the ring. He joined Global Force Wrestling in their bid to take over Impact Wrestling, and the entire roster is watching as Young tells Team TNA to stay out of his face.

Dixie: Not only did you turn your back, you turned your back on your fellow wrestlers.

Young asks why he didn’t get fired when he took a war hero’s leg, and got rid of Kurt Angle. He says his contract keeps him from being fired. He hedged his bets with Jarrett and tells TNA congratulations but there’s nothing he can do about it. Carter says she can’t do anything about it, but maybe the roster can. Young looks ready to fight the entire company as she calls out Melendez. Chris comes out with a crutch and without his leg. Dixie announces Melendez will get his chance at revenge, and the entire roster is going to help him. As soon as we come back from break, it’s a Lumberjack Match.

Tyrus hands Jeff the mic as Hardy raises the EC3 head, the side facing the fans is all painted over and disheveled. Carter talks down to him as Hardy tells Ethan the creatures don’t live in his reality, go ahead and fire him.

Ethan tells him the reality is that Hardy has no source of income. He can’t create and inspire the morons he calls his creatures. He knows he’s hotheaded and maybe he deserved the shot. But he’s gonna give Hardy one chance to take a knee and kiss his title belt.

Hardy goes to his knees as Ethan is his glorious God Mode self. Ethan holds the belt as Jeff takes the mic and would like to say, he quits! He can take the job and shove it! Hardy walks from the ring as the fans chant for him, and Ethan tells them not to chant that name anymore because Jeff is gone! He tells Hardy he’s fired!
