411’s TNA Impact Report 8.31.06
Thumbtacks and the Commissioner Gordon phone, that’s all you need.
We get a video recap of Sting challenging JJ, JJ naming the stip, Sting accepting and then the Cage vs. Rhino confrontation from last week. We then see the LAX Tag Title victory.
Moody Jack announces LAX to the ring.
KONNAN: Hey…as I said before, you can’t stop a revolution! These tag titles are dedicated to the Latino’s, legal and illegal as well as our mother’s that suffered racial inequality. To the Latino’s in the business, Mil Mascaras, Carlos Colon, Pedro Moralez, Tito Santana, and the Guerrero’s. We don’t need fake applause, TNA, send you best because you can’t stop us.
DANIELS: We have an announcement to make. You pushed and we make the mistake of playing by your rules. Your title reign is temporary, and we have a rematch at No Surrender. What will benefit us, that it will be 2 on 2? We played your game, and now you will play ours…
AJ: For the first time ever…tag team Ultimate X!
Tenay and West welcome us to the show.

Highlights of Cage turning on Sting run as well as Cage’s beat down on Rhino.
JB is with Cage. Cage says he did what he did because he has had to teach lessons. Last week he had to show his brother a tough lesson. Everyone needs to realize I am the biggest star, the meal ticket. If anyone has a problem, step up. Killings is here. Way before Cage was here and Killings was a 2-time NWA champion. He never made excuses. Killings says Cage ain’t man enough to handle Rhino, Sting or him. Cage says that Killing’s won’t be the first rapping poser he put in his place. Killings slaps him and they brawl.
At Bound for Glory…a STARR is born.
10,000 Thumbtacks Match: Abyss w/Mitchell vs. Runt
Runt charges the ring and here we go. ACID DROP! There are poles with the tacks hanging from them. Runt has a bag and nails Abyss with the bag. He spills some out as Raven looks on. Runt dives onto Abyss, but gets rammed into the steel post. Abyss gets a table now and sets it next to the ramp. Mitchell lays the boots to Runt and then they get a board with a ton of tacks on it and lay it on the table as we head to a commercial @ 1:50.
Back from commercial @ 5:15 with Abyss and Mitchell getting another board covered in tacks. They have 2-tables stacked, with the tack boards on both of them. Abyss has Runt on the ramp and beats him down. Powerbomb try…Runt escapes and beats on Abyss down the ramp. Next week on Impact, Cage vs. Killing Tenay tells us. Back to the ring now and Abyss lays Runt by the tacks…stomp misses and Runt with an Acid drop…nope, tossed into the tacks and that is all?
Winner: Abyss @ 8:01 via pin
Raven looks on as we get replays. Abyss now takes Runt up the ramp, drags him actually. Abyss press slams Runt…but Raven saves him! They brawl…GOOZLE ON RAVEN…no, knee by Raven and ABYSS FLIES ONTO THE DOUBLE TABLES with the tacks!
Raven picks up Runt on his shoulders and poses.
We see a “gun squad” walk to the ring for the “Public Execution.”
We get a video package with JJ saying TNA management is listening to the fans to much. He had nothing to do with Larry Z or Earl doing what they did, and he’ll take a polygraph to prove it. Sting will do anything for a rematch, we see JJ saying Sting has to put his career on the line. Good video package.
Jeff Jarrett makes his way to the ring.
There is a firing squad, a noose and a tombstone in the ring. Some dude throws shit at JJ and he tells security to remove the guy. They do. He’ll whoop any 2-men, 5-women or 15-children! HAHA!
JJ: Now…the matter at hand. Ladies and gentlemen, certain governments around the world gather the town people and publicly execute their criminals. To make an example out of anyone that goes against the law of the land. Tonight I publicly execute Sting. I could put it in front of a firing squad. I could put it in this noose, make it tight and kick the box from under you and you die a miserable death. But I have a different weapon. In this case, the pen is mightier than the sword. By me executing this contract, I have sealed your fate. In Detroit, at Bound for Glory, I roll into town and all of the people will gather as I leave you in a pool of blood. Sting, at Bound for Glory, October 22, it will be my title vs. your career, my belt vs. your legacy. At TNA’s biggest show, it WILL be your final match.
We hear a phone ring, it’s the RED COMMISSIONER GORDON PHONE! Cornett is on the line. They page it through so JJ can hear him. Cornette says that he is watching the live feed, and since the match is set, he is sick of JJ and his conspiracies. He says JJ always gets away with it all, so if you want to have a public trial, next week, you go on trial. You said you would take a lie detector test and we will give you one. I have a deal, if you pass the test, you get the same chance as Sting, you can take time off until Bound for Glory. But if you fail, they I will give the fans a chance to get even with you personally. I promise you I will make your life hell, but you have to answer this, do you have more to fear from Sting inside the ring or the TNA fans outside the ring.
A video wrap-up package closes the show.
