-This is the fallout show from the Bound for Glory PPV…

Come writers and critics, Who prophesize with your pen, And keep your eyes wide, The chance won’t come again, And don’t speak too soon, For the wheel’s still in spin, And there’s no tellin’ who, That it’s namin’, For the loser now, Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’…

-Hey, Bob Dylan said it not me. Well, it’s TNA time, it’s post Bound for Glory and it is time to see what the company has to offer. Buckle up kids…

A NEW ERA IN TNA?
-We get a video package of the event leading up to Bound for Glory, as well as the events that happened at the PPV. Focusing mainly on the Hogan-Sting-Dixie angle.

Sting makes his way to the ring, still rocking his Hogan shirt. No face paint tonight just shades. He’s happy to be here, and says 18-months ago he promised to get the company back to Dixie Carter, and to get the REAL HULK HOGAN back. You know that guy. Sting puts over Hogan, and says he had to go a bit crazy to accomplish his goals, but he did it. But at BFG it was worth it, because Hogan made the right choice. He did the right things for the fans, for TNA and for Dixie Carter. A true American came home to us he says. Sting asks for Hogan to come out, and…

Here comes Hulk Hogan. BAH GAWD THE RED AND YELLOW IS BACK BROTHERS! Sting and Hogan hug it out, and Hogan has the mic. Hogan gets welcome back chants, and he says he had been wrong for the last year, and thanks the fans. He blames himself for having a rough time, he got insecure, and he became a follower. Bischoff helped him out, and he ended up following his lead. But now that the air is clear, he knows Bischoff was wrong. Hogan says he made the wrong choice, but he is back in red and yellow, and there is only one person to thank, Sting. Sting stayed true to the fans, Impact, and everyone. And at the PPV, Hogan says he saw what he became, and he knew he had to save the true American ICON, Sting. Hogan saw the light, he heard the fans, he saw what he had become, and now, Hulk Hogan is back! Hogan then says he feels amazing, and he thanks Sting again, calls him the true ICON, and says he will not forget what Sting did for him.

Hogan bails to leave Sting in the ring, and Sting says it feels good. He says Hulk still has it, and now, Sting calls out Dixie Carter and here she is. We head to a commercial…

Back from commercial and Dixie and Sting are in the ring. Sting says that this is a night to celebrate. The day that Dixie gets her company back. But Dixie, it doesn’t erase what Sting tried to do, to warn her, to let her know how it all works, and she had to find out the hard way. He extends his hand of grace out there, and they have the company back. Dixie gave Sting another chance in wrestling. She gave him a home in TNA. He loves TNA, he loves it all and he wouldn’t take it back. Sting says she needs to surround herself with the right people, to protect the company, the wrestlers and the fans, because there is no room for error. This is her second chance. She thanks him apologizes and says Sting was right. She promises that she will not make the same mistake twice. Her place is not here, but to make sure that they are the best. She is a fighter, and she wants to fight harder to make them a huge success. But to do so, she has to spend more time at HQ as president of TNA, and she needs Sting. She needs him to help her. She asks Sting to take over the day-to-day operations, and gives him all authority to run the show. She asks him to help turn things around, and he accepts. She thanks Sting and the fans, and they hug it out.

Here comes TNA Champion Kurt Angle. We head to commercial again…

Back from commercial and Angle looks to have something to say. He says apparently we have two superheroes here. Angle says now that Sting is in charge, it doesn’t change the fact that he is still the champion and that Bobby Roode failed to be a hero. He made Roode look like a loser at BFG, because Angle is the greatest in the world and simply the better man.

And here comes Bobby Roode. Roode says that A Angle has to be kidding them all because Angle is taking a tainted victory. Roode calls him pathetic, and says that the Olympic Gold Medallist had to screw him to keep the title. Roode says he worked 13-years for that moment Sunday, and Angle screwed him. What Angle did was BULLSHIT. Roode says he cannot do anything about it now, but the fact of the matter is this. Sting says Roode is correct, and says Roode got screwed. Sting says that tonight, Roode gets a rematch for the title tonight. BUT WAIT! Angle says that there were some contract shenanigans, and says that according to the contract, there was a NO REMATCH CLAUSE, Roode only got the one match. Angle says Roode is a threat, the real deal, and he screwed him to keep his title. James Storm is now out, and we head to another commercial…

Back from commercial and Storm introduces himself. He asks if the contract saves his ass from him? Storm says that Angle screwed the fans, TNA and Roode out of the title. And with all the screwing he did, he has been busy. But when Roode got screwed, Storm got screwed. Storm says they have a problem now, and asks Sting that since they both wear sunglasses in doors, and since Roode cannot get a rematch, and since the people want a world title match tonight… Angle says Storm needs to quit drinking, and Angle says there are 10-guys in front of him. Sting tells Angle to shut up, and makes Storm vs. Angle for the title tonight. Signed, sealed and delivered. Roode then says, Sorry about your damn luck!

-In the back, Bischoff and Immortal meet up with Hogan. Bichoff says they want to say goodbye their way, in the ring tonight. Bischoff says if Hogan has any balls left, bring it to the ring tonight to see Bischoff one on one tonight.

KAREN & JEFF SPEAK
The King of Mexico and the Queen of the Knockouts are here to talk. That’s refreshing. JJ starts to talk about Jeff Hardy, and calls him out and promises to finish what he started at the PPV. And here comes Nero. JJ says that Hardy think she can walk right back into his main event slot lie nothing happened. JJ says that he brought Hardy into TNA, and JJ was the first screwed when Hardy no showed a PPV back in the day, and says Victory Road will not be the last time he messes up. JJ doesn’t care what people think and doesn’t want Hardy there. JJ gives him a chance to leave for good, or suffer the consequences at the hands of JJ. Hardy teases leaving, and says the people want him here. He then says JJ is the only one left bitching. Hardy says JJ is jealous of the crowd reaction he gets. Hardy says JJ will never light up the crowd like he does, and they brawl. Security hits the ring to break things up. They do a poor job as usual, and referees are out. Well then shit just got real, but they fail as well and more brawling. Agents hit the ring, and D-Lo and Al Snow look to fight, which allows Hardy to attack JJ again. JJ kicks Hardy in the balls and looks very proud of himself, JJ is up 1-0 in the roshambo contest. The Jarretts bail.

-Backstage, Angle says there is no way in hell that Storm will beat him tonight. No one gets one over on Angle, no one.

-We get highlights from Bound for Glory and the turn of Garrett Bischoff, formerly known as referee Jackson James.

-Eric Young is trying to do a photo shoot, and Robbie E and Rob Terry are there. Robbie says the TV title is his and says Young is ducking him. Young then calls Terry Conan the Barbarian, and says he will talk to his boy Sting about giving Robbie a title shot. And then warns him he has big friends, like Ronnie from the Jersey Shore. Robbie says to make the match happen.

-Gunner is out and calls out Abyss. He says last week Immortal took out the trash. He then says you have to prove to Immortal that you belong, and tonight, he volunteered to take out Abyss.

Gunner vs. Abyss14
Abyss hits the ring and here we go. Abyss opens a can of whoop ass on Gunner, and beats his ass all around the ring. Double choke slam on Gunner, and Abyss is fired up. Gunner tries to run, and to the floor they go. Abyss catches him and slams him to the steps. Back into the ring they go and Gunner rolls out and runs and gets counted out.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Abyss @ 2:00 via count out
RATING: NR (FYI: I do not rate matches under three-minutes)

-Velvet discusses her joy when she won the Knockouts Title. She thanks the fans, who pushed her. There is a joke in there.

-Flair talks with Immortal, and Gunner is there and says Abyss is not here, and the monster is back. They dismiss what he has to say and say they will take care of Hogan.

-We get a Velvet Sky video package.

VELVET THANKS THE FANS
Velvet Sky comes to the ring. She wanted to say that it feels good to be the Knockouts Champion. It has been an emotional journey for her, and she had her obstacles, bumps, bruises, it was all worth it. Her victory is for all the people that tried to shut her down and make her feel week. It took her four years to accomplish her dream, but she did it with the support of her fans.

And here comes Karen Jarrett with Traci Brooks, to ruin the party. Karen is not happy at all, and says she’s the VP of the Knockouts, and could fire both Velvet and Traci if she wished. But she won’t do that. That would be way too easy, it wouldn’t be entertaining at all. Karen isn’t crying out here about crap. Karen says it will get worse for Traci now. She will make her life a living hell. They haven’t seen the mean side of Karen yet. She calls for security to take Traci out of the ring. Now, onto Velvet. She says she will respect her, because on Monday she woke up and was going to strip her of the title. But Jeff told her it wouldn’t be that much fun. Sure, Velvet would whine like a bitch, but there would be no physical pain. No blood and scars. Karen then says she knows who can do that. Before what happens, happens, you better have eyes in the back of your head. Madison Rayne comes out now, but as she does, GAIL KIM RETURNS to lay the beat down on Velvet. Gail and Madison lay the boots to Velvet and then they all yell at her.

-Hulk Hogan walks.

IMMORTAL EXPLODES
Eric Bischoff comes to the ring with Immortal, consisting of Bully Ray, Gunner and Scott Steiner. Eric Bischoff says that he will take care of his punk ass kid later, but for now, he has to deal with Hogan. He calls him out if he has the balls. Here comes the Hulkster, brother. Hulk says if Eric Bischoff has something to say, say it now. Eric Bischoff says that it may take him a while, and says how can Hogan explain turning on Immortal. He then says he turned his back on him, the guy that made Hulk Hogan. HE made Hogan who he thinks he is today, that’s a fact, jack. Eric Bischoff then says he got between him and his son. HOW DARE YOU! Eric Bischoff says they had the kid where they needed him, becoming another Eric, but Hulk got into his head, and the punk kid turned his back on him. WELL YOU KNOW SOMETHING BROTHER, Hulk says he learned a lot about them, brother, is that Garrett is a hell of a man, a man that Eric Bischoff could never be. Eric Bischoff hits Hogan, and that was a mistake. YOU! Immortal hits the ring, but Sting is there with some bats and Immortal bails. Eric Bischoff says that this is not over. Garrett is on the ramp now, and Eric backs into him. Eric talks shit, and Garrett calls him a disgrace. Eric does the tough guy pokey thing, and then rips off Garrett’s shirt, and says his son doesn’t deserve to have the Eric Bischoff tattoo he has. Garrett drops Eric with a right and says “SCREW YOU!” He then gives the thumbs up too Hogan and Sting.

-Storm and Roode walk and talk backstage. Storm wishes he was prepared, and Roode pep talks him and says he is ready. He says Storm is ready to win the strap, and while Roode could bitch, but this is now. And right now is Storm’s time. Go out and kick Angle’s ass and win the title. He believes, the fans believe, we all believe! Roode felt pain on Sunday, and tonight, he want to celebrate with the new champion. DO THIS! Storm takes a drink, and shit is about to get real because he is a pissed off cowboy.

-And now it is main event time. Borash does the super special ring announcing.

TNA World Title Match: Kurt Angle © vs. James Storm
The bell rings and here we go. Lock up and a boot by Angle. Rights follow and takes Storm to the corner. Angle with rights, beats Storm down in the corner, the ref pulls him back, but more rights follow for Angle. Angle keeps on the attack, lays the boots to Storm now and tosses the ref aside. Angle turns around, SUPERKICK BY STORM! 1…2…3! BAH GAWD… THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE!

OFFICIAL RESULT: AND NEEEEEEEW TNA WORLD CHAMPION JAMES STORM @ 1:00 via pin
RATING: NR (FYI: I do not rate matches under three-minutes)

-Roode rushes out to the ring to give Storm the title belt and help him celebrate. They hug it out and Storm then rushes out to celebrate with the fans. Storm gets a beer and celebrates in the crowd with it as Fortune is now in the ring. Storm back in the ring and gets a beer bash from his friends. Storm gets the mic, and says that he has been with the company since day one. He saw people come and go, but he is here to stay you sons of bitches! That victory was bitter sweet, and Roode is his best friend, and they are the best tag team in the world but says the title belongs to him and hands it to Roode. Roode says it looks nice, but he agrees with the fans, Storm deserves it. Roode then straps the title around Storm’s waist as they all stand and celebrate.

-They did well playing it off as a big moment.

-End scene.
