411’s TNA Impact Report 02.26.09

After what’s been two of the longest, toughest and emotionally draining days of my life it’s time to unwind with some TNA action and I’m looking forward to enjoying the show and turning my brain off for a bit. We open the show with the end of last week’s show featuring the Empty Arena Showdown between Kurt Angle and Sting, with Angle spitting in Sting’s face before challenging him at Destination X. The best part of that whole thing for me was seeing Kevin Nash freaking out. Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us to an empty Impact Zone in Orlando and they talk about last week’s show including their ratings success with their highest viewership and ratings ever. They talk about last week’s showdown, showing the same footage from the pre-show promo and from there Tenay and West throw it to the usual opening sequence.

We are LIVE-ish in Orlando and we have aftermath, fallout and pyro aplenty!! Apparently we also have a TNA Tag Team Championship match as well as a four-way ladder match for the X-Division Championship. Sounds like a good show to me so far.

Match One:
The Beautiful People w/Cute Kip vs. Taylor Wilde and Madison Rayne

Yeah, so much for that whole “good start to the show” thing. Sigh. Kip lays some shit talk on Rayne and Wilde before the match and then heads out to the floor. Love and Rayne start things out with a lockup and Rayne ends up caught in a side headlock. Rayne shoots Love off into the ropes and eats a shoulderblock before taking Love down with a pair of hip tosses. Tag to Wilde and they double-team Love with a double-drop toehold before Wilde tries for a pin and gets barely a one. Love tags in Sky and Wilde gets a quick roll-up for a one-count before taking Sky down with a DEEP armdrag takedown. Tag to Rayne and she comes off the second rope onto the arm of Sky. Kip and Wilde get into a bitchfest on the outside and inside the ring, Rayne looks for the invisible tag and ends up being double-teamed by TBP. Sky takes over with some choking and a two-count before mounting Ranye for some punches and some choking while screeching. Tag to Love and they hit a double-elbowdrop before Love just slams Rayne’s head into the canvas. Tag to Sky as they’ve cut Rayne off from her corner and Sky goes back to the screeching chokehold before just blatantly standing on Rayne’s throat in the middle of the ring. That gets a two-count from referee Slick Johnson and there’s another tag to Love. She lays the boots in on Rayne before locking in a sleeperhold, but Rayne drops the floor out and scores with a jawbreaker. HOT TAG TO WILDE! Kicks to both Beautiful People before she catches Love with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Wilde tries a back-bodydrop on Sky, but she kicks Wilde in the chest and TBP start double-stomping. Rayne stops the beatdown and then checks on Wilde before SLAPPING THE STANK OUT OF HER MOUTH!! Rayne heads up the ramp and Sky hits the BEAUTIFUL BACKSTABBER!! 1..2…3…it’s all over!!

Winners: The Beautiful People (pinfall, Sky’s Beautiful Backstabber on Wilde) *3/4

(This was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. The Beautiful People actually showed some tag team chops by cutting off the ring as well as they did. Good stuff from them. I don’t understand the deal with Rayne and Wilde unless it was just Rayne being pissed off that she got beaten up after Wilde missed the tag, but why save her from a beatdown only to paintbrush her afterwards? Just an odd finish for me.)

We head to the back with some footage from earlier today as JB catches up with the Main Event Mafia as they make their arrival to the Impact Zone. Angle no-sells him and they all just stroll casually into the arena, leaving JB holding the bag.

JB is in the Main Event Mafia’s locker room and he’s looking for answers from Kurt Angle, pissy that Kurt hasn’t answered any of his text messages. He says that it’s the fans’ right to find out if we’re going to get Angle/Sting at Destination X. Angle tells him that there’s going to be a statement from the Mafia, but it will come at the top of the hour and not before. Right around then, two of Orlando’s finest come into the locker room to look for “Mr. Huffman”. Booker gets up and tells them that they’ll talk outside, while Angle and Steiner bust on Booker for his last name. JB tries to join in on it, but Angle shuts his pipsqueak ass down before he can even start. Tremendous.

Random Impact Observation #1: I hate this kind of nonsense from TNA when they go into “ultra-smark breaking kayfabe” mode. Yeah, I get that they’re cops and cops tend to use people’s real names, but this is wrestling. We’re already suspending disbelief a lot, so why not stretch it a little more and have them ask for Booker. Or better yet, have them ask for Mr. T, since that’s his last name in TNA. I would have at least gotten a laugh out of that, and they could have still had Angle and Steiner bust his balls for being Mr. T. It would have been a lot better than their “edgy” bullshit of using Book’s real name.

Match Two: TNA World Tag Team Championships (Off The Wagon Challenge)
The Rock and Rave Infection vs. Beer Money Inc. w/Jacqueline (c)

Gee, I wonder who’s going to come out on top in this one? Rave and Storm start out with Storm grabbing a quick headlock and Rave shooting him off into the ropes. Rave eats a shoulderblock, but scores with one of his own before they hit a rope-running sequence punctuated by a tilt-a-whirl facebuster by Rave. Tag to Roode and Rave takes him down before Rock comes in to land a double-elbowdrop. They do more double-teaming, hitting a facebuster on Storm again before Rave turns to Roode and stomps himin the corner. Rock heads out and throws Storm into the ring, but eats a jumping enziguri for his trouble. Nice job, jackass. Rave takes Storm down with a kick but runs right into a NASTY spinebuster from Roode and he lays some vicious stomps in on Rave. Chop from Roode and there’s a tag to Storm. Roode stomps away in the corner before Storm takes Rave over with a snap mare into a reverse chinlock. Rave powers up and punches his way out, bouncing off the ropes right into a Stun Gun from Storm!! Storm follows it up with a huge clothesline and tags in Roode. Tandem offense from Beer Money follows and they hit a fake tag with Rock distracting the referee, which allows Storm to get a two-count. Storm picks Rave up and whips him in for a powerslam, but Rave flips out of it and reverses it into an STO that lets him make the HOT TAG TO RACK!! He cleans house on both members of Beer Money, taking Storm down with a HUGE chokeslam. He picks Roode up with the goozle and hits a CHOKESLAM ON HIS KNEE!! That looked nasty as hell to take. Rock covers…1….2….Storm makes the save!!! Roode tries for a neckbreaker on Rock, but Rock reverses and hits Roode with a SIT-OUT POWERBOMB VARIATION!! Jacqueline gets up onto the apron and distracts the referee while Storm comes into the ring with a belt and WAFFLES Rock in the face with it!! He rolls Roode on top and it’s just academic from there.

Winners: Beer Money Inc. (pinfall, Storm beltshot on Rock) **

(This wasn’t too bad a match, but it sucked just a little going in to know what was going to happen as I’ve tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible heading into these shows. Rock and Rave looked better than they had in months and you have to wonder how they would have turned out if they had been able to look like that from the get-go instead of playing the fools constantly. Beer Money brought it as usual and can do no wrong in my eyes.)

Rave and Rock look to be crushed, though Rock doesn’t get nearly the tribute or the send-off that Petey Williams did last week. Thanks for coming out, Lance.

We head to the back earlier today again, with JB watching Sting pull up before asking Sting if he’s going to take the match with Angle at Destination X. Sting says nothing, but the camera focuses on someone standing in the background who looks to be spying on Sting. I wonder if anything will ever actually come from it.

We come back from the break and JB is in Booker T’s locker room asking about what the situation was. Booker is standing in front of his locker room, and it is TRASHED. Booker says that Styles stole from him and that it’s a felony what he did. He says that Styles should be booked for grand theft, assault and battery and that he should be locked up forever. Booker nearly starts crying, saying that he’s dangerous and he should be locked up before he starts doing bad things to little old ladies. I hate that accent, but Booker was funny as hell here. Tenay and West take us back in time to see all of the interactions between Booker T and AJ Styles before West starts his shill for the TNA house show circuit and the Lockdown ticket sale info.

From there, we head to another therapy session with Abyss and Dr. Stevie. Abyss says he shouldn’t cut himself, but it gives him such a great feeling inside and makes him feel so good. Abyss says it reminds him of Christmas morning and when there’s that one present left under the tree and that you haven’t gotten everything on your list, but when you unwrap it, it’s that Jonas Brothers CD you’ve wanted. Abyss asks Dr. Stevie if he can be a teen idol before asking if he’d have to lose the mask. Dr. Stevie cuts him off, saying that that’s all the time they have and Abyss says he’s already looking forward to next week. It’s back to the commercials now.

Random Commercial Observation #1: I liked that movie Duplicity better the first time I saw it when it was called Mr. and Mrs. Smith and there were real stars in it as opposed to Clive Owen and a somewhat-past-her-prime Julia Roberts. Apparently original ideas are on the missing person’s list in Hollywood. Of course, I’m a guy that’s pissed that they’re going to remake Clue: The Movie, so I guess I’m not someone that could be considered unbiased. Rant Over.

Random Impact Observation #2: Those TNA Anthology sets look like a sweet-ass idea. $69.99 for 12 TNA pay-per-views on DVD is a hell of a bargain and when you include the autographed merch that they’re throwing in, it turns into a steal. My birthday is in October if any of you out there reading decide that you love these reports so much you have to reward me. I’m just saying.

We’re back and TNA actually takes a moment to thank the fans for making last week’s Impact their most-watched show ever. That’s actually a nice touch by a company that tries to put the fans first. From there, we head to ODB’s challenge for a date with a guy from the internet and OH SWEET JESUS, these look like the biggest bunch of date rapists I have ever seen. Forget her flask, bitch better bring her pepper spray. Booker is in the back with the cops, still screaming at them that as soon as they find AJ, they need to put his ass in jail. He yells for them to put out an APB, obviously knowing the lingo from his criminal past, and he sends them off saying that his punkass is going to jail tonight. As the cops drive off, HERE’S AJ STYLES!! He lays in some soupbones on Booker and they brawl as TNA security comes out to break it up!! Commercial time, yet again!!

Back from the break, we get an interview with Lauren in the back talking to Scott Steiner. Scott propositions her before saying that it’s three weeks in a row that AJ has attacked Booker, saying he would have broken it up, but he was in the bathroom taking a Kip. He says that Samoa Joe is the biggest piece of Kip in TNA, adding that he could attack Joe the same way that Joe attacked him last week by putting him in a room full of donuts and attacking him. He says that the Mafia says they’re going to kick someone’s ass and their ass gets kicked. He tells Lauren to go look for Samoa Joe and tell him that he’s going to get his ass kicked, but before he can finish that sentence, IT’S SAMOA JOE AND HE’S PACKING A MOTHERFUCKING SLING BLADE!! HE holds the blade to Steiner’s throat, saying that it’s much easier for him to find Steiner and he can find him anytime, any place, anywhere. Joe says that his nation of violence is a pain much greater than death. He tells Steiner that he’ll try to scream and nothing will come out because it’s the sound of torture and he’s going to know what that sound is. Joe throws Steiner down to the floor and leaves as Steiner decides that he had a knife and then presumably heads off to find a fresh pair of purple underpants. Tenay and West are back at the desk, talking about the Frontline being reinvigorated by the returns of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe before they go back to talking about the Empty Arena Showdown. They throw it to the back and JB, who is with TNA founder Jeff Jarrett. He asks Jarrett for his thoughts on the future of the Main Event Mafia. Jarrett says that wrestling has always been an individual sport and that no team has ever lasted in the sport. He says that it was only a matter of time before their egos would get the better of them and that it looks like the band is breaking up and business will be back to normal.

Random Impact Observation #3: Another of those things that I hate about TNA. Samoa Joe just broke into Scott Steiner’s dressing room and held him hostage at knifepoint before threatening him with toture and Tenay and West just sit there at the desk and no-sell it completely. I mean Jesus Christ guys, give it at least a little bit of play. Are you really that out of it that you’re not going to say anything about someone nearly being gutted like a fish in the locker room? Really? Le sigh.

Back from commercial and it’s time for some Hardcore History 101. Foley says he’s always asked about his best match and he says that before 2004, it was his match with Shawn Michaels at In Your House. He says that after 2004, that changed when he wrestled at WrestleMania with The Rock and had an “okay match”. He talks about wrestling the following month at Backlash against Randy Orton in Edmonton and that he put on the type of match people would be talking about for years. He calls it the match that put Orton over the top and made people think that he could be one of the top wrestlers in the game. He feels like that was the best match he could have had under hardcore rules and that until he can top it, that match will be his favorite hardcore memory.

We head to the ring and Mike Tenay is mid-ring with a microphone saying that it’s time for answers from the Main Event Mafia. The music hits and here comes Angle, Nash, Booker and Steiner down to the ring, with Sting bringing up the rear. All of the Mafia members except for Angle are wearing their swank MEM velour track suits in a not-so Hidden Highlight. Tenay asks Kurt Angle and Sting about the hostility and brutality between them recently before touching on the conclusion of last week’s Impact and Angle’s challenge to Sting. He asks them if it will be Kurt Angle vs. Sting at Destination X and if it will be for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Nash and Steiner have a little pep talk with Angle before he speaks and Nash even gives him a little hug as the crowd chants for Sting. Nash takes the mic and says that he’s been deemed spokesman for the entire Main Event Mafia. Nash says that when they formed the Mafia, they knew there would be rocky roads and they knew it wouldn’t be easy. He admits that things have been rough recently and then says that while things aren’t great between them, they’re a family. Tenay busts his balls on it and questions him as Nash says that he’s just trying to stir things up because he works for Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley. Nash says that it “just so happened” that Jeff Jarrett cleared out the arena last week and that he worked both Sting and Angle and that they killed each other with Jarrett riding the whip. Nash says that they don’t work for TNA and that they’ve said from the beginning that the only thing that could break them up was themselves. He says that they’re stronger than anyone in the back and stronger than the front office before adding that the Main Event Mafia runs shit. He tells Sting and Angle that they don’t have to love each other, but to respect Scotty, Book, Sharmell and the family and that if they do, they’ll never go down. We hear some all too familiar music and HERE COMES JEFF JARRETT! Jarrett says that he’s known Sting for twenty years and that he’s seeing what everyone else in the arena is seeing. He says that Sting is not buying any of this crap for one second before he turns to Sting and says that he stands on a platform of honesty, tradition and integrity. He asks Sting where the integrity is after one of his “brothers” spit right in his face. He says that that same brother is supposed to be standing on the same platform about earning and getting respect. He addresses everyone in the ring, saying that Sting and Angle are polar opposites and that there’s only one thing to do in this situation and that’s to let them fight. The crowd picks up on it and starts a “Let Them Fight” chant before Jarrett talks to Kurt and says that as the founder of TNA, he’s going to grant his wish. At Destination X, it’s going to be Angle and Sting with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Booker T grabs the microphone and says that he wants to know who died and made Jarrett the law in TNA. He asks Jarrett what exactly he “founded” to begin with. He calls it a company full of nobodies and wannabes and says that rumor has it that he started the company out of a flea market and that Jarrett painted the Nashville Fairgrounds himself. He says that without the Mafia, there would be no TNA and that he’s never liked Jarrett’s punkass. He tells Jarrett to get to the back before he commences the ass-whipping. Jarrett says that Booker ain’t gonna do shit and says that he doesn’t need a badge to kick Booker’s ass all over the ring. He says that he painted the Asylum and that he’s given every ounce of blood, sweat and tears for the company and that the fans of TNA are his family. He says that his family wants Kurt and Sting to fight it out for the title and he says that they’re going to get the contract signed later tonight!!

After a commercial break, Mike Tenay and Don West talk about the contract signing for the match that everyone wants to see at Destination X between Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle and that all of it is thanks to Jeff Jarrett. Don West says that since Tenay is in ass-kissing mode, he should head to the back and make sure that Sting gets one too. Tenay is shocked and West tells him not to act stupid and that he knows what this is about. West says that he’s going to educate Tenay and everyone else here and gets on a house mic. He says that he and Mike have been best friends for over seven years and they’ve called every match in TNA and that their wives are best friends even. West says that a few days ago, TNA management held some meetings and that West’s future at the announce table was brought up. West says that Tenay was at the meeting and he had nothing to say in West’s defense and that he had nothing to say. He tells the fans that they’ve put Tenay on a pedestal, but that he’s nothing but a selfish prick. West says he could have done the right thing, but he doesn’t have the balls. He says that he doesn’t know what his future holds, but he knows that their friendship will never be the same and that he can take that microphone and shove it up his ass. We fade to commercial with a close-up shot of SHOCKED AND APPALLED TENAY!! I have NO clue where this came from or where this could possibly go from here. This was about as out of nowhere as something could get.

Back from the break, Lauren busts in on the Kongtourage having a meltdown but before she can get any information from them, we head back to the desk with Mike Tenay and we get a replay of Don West’s Joey Styles-esque core meltdown from moments ago. Sojournor Bolt’s music interrupts the finish of the package and she’s in the middle of the ring with a microphone and Rahka Kahn. She says that she told Raisha Saeed last week that she’s not her momma and that she can’t tell Bolt what to do. Kahn says that they figured that they were sleeping before she busts out some weak-ass rhymes before saying that Kong and Raisha better bring their asses out to the ring right now. Tenay at the desk brings up the contract signing again before we hear Awesome Kong’s music and here she comes!! Shit just got real!!

Match Three:
Rahka Kahn and Sojournor Bolt vs. Raisha Saeed and Awesome Kong

Bolt and Saeed get things underway and Saeed grabs a side headlock before Bolt shoots her into the ropes. Saeed takes Bolt down with a shoulderblock before telling her to “BRING IT, BITCH”. Bolt grabs a side headlock and Saeed shoots her off, missing a clothesline before Bolt takes her down with a Thesz Press and some mounted punches. Bolt works an arm-wringer and tags in Kahn, who comes off the second rope with a double-axehandle. Kahn with an Irish whip into a leapfrog, followed by a hip toss into a split-splash on Saeed’s midsection. Kahn tries an Irish whip again, but Saeed reverses and Kong hits her from behind before Kong and Saeed lay in some double-team stomps behind the referee’s back. Kong is in the ring now, laying in a NASTY tittyslap on Kahn before Irish whipping her into the corner for a MASSIVE avalanche. Tag to Saeed and she hits another big tittyslap before they start trading forearms. Kahn misses a high kick as Saeed bounces off the ropes and Saeed takes her down with a clothesline for a two-count. Bolt ends up distracting the referee again and Kong lifts Saeed into the air for a splash on Kahn that gets another long two-count. Tag to Kong and she kicks Kahn in the gut before dropping her with a big bodyslam. Tag back to Saeed, but Kahn makes the hot tag to Bolt. Bolt takes over on Saeed with a some bitchslaps into a pair of jawbreakers that gets two. Bolt picks up Saeed and tries for a powerbomb, but sends her all the way over. Bolt runs over to Kong and tries to hit some punches and now all four women are in the ring. Kahn hits Saeed with some forearm shots and they pair off in opposite corners with Kahn getting whipped into Saeed. Kong throws Kahn over the top rope to the floor and follows her outside as Bolt has Saeed in the ring and in trouble. Saeed tries a clothesline, but Bolt ducks under and hits a side kick before taking Saeed down with a backslide that….gets the three-count? That was kind of out of nowhere. Post-match, Kong comes into the ring and drops both ladies with a double-clothesline. Another big clothesline on Bolt and she AWESOME BOMBS BOLT ONTO KAHN!! Now that’s what you could call the REAL Implant Buster.

Winners: Rahka Kahn and Sojournor Bolt (pinfall, Bolt backslide on Saeed) *1/2

(This one wasn’t much of a match really. It felt a lot more like a random series of moves with a finish out of nowhere. There hasn’t really been any explanation of why Kahn is with Bolt to begin with, but I suppose, it’s wrestling and they say so. I really didn’t like the finish to this one at all and it seemed like it was only here to set up Kong’s beatdown on the infidels.)

We’re back in the Impact Zone and we’re apparently just moments away from the Main Event Mafia’s moment of truth according to Tenay and we head to Rough Cuts, with the evolution of the Ultimate X match. Alex Shelley says that the height is the stuff of nightmares before Hernandez says that he was afraid of it until he was in one. AJ Styles says that if you think about the fear, that’s when you can end up hurt before Chris Sabin talks about being in the very first Ultimate X match and how unprepared they were for it. They talk about how they were set up with poles in the ringposts, but that they bent and it didn’t even end up being hooked to the lighting structure until ten minutes before showtime. Alex Shelley says that he went in with a clean slate and his own gameplan so that he wouldn’t psyche himself out and that the best thing is to be physically and mentally strong. From there, we head into a music video from Hoobastank featuring the theme song for Destination X and highlights of previous Ultimate X matches.

Random Impact Observation #4: That was great. I loved that video package, I loved the fact that they had a recording artist that people have actually heard of before and this is something that TNA needs to do more often if they’re looking to really compete with the WWE one day. WWE can seemingly push those packages out in their sleep, TNA needs to catch up to get to that point. For now though, that was very well done and I thought it did its job perfectly.

Match Four: TNA X-Division Championship Ladder Match
Jay Lethal vs. Conseqeunces Creed vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley (c)

This one should be absolutely murder to try and keep up with. I’d expect the report to be about twenty minutes behind by the time this spotfest is all said and done. The bell rings and the Guns and Lethal Consequences pair off to square off. Creed rocks Sabin with shots and Lethal rocks Shelley before the Guns take control with a pair of clotheslines and a pair of elbows in the corner on Lethal and Creed. They stop to pose before taking over on Creed with a double-team senton/kneedrop combo and they choke him out with the soles of their boots before moving on to Lethal. Lethal takes the sandwich kicks from Sabin and Shelley and Sabin heads to the outside to grab the ladder as Shelley stays in the ring to try a Kryptonite Krunch on Lethal. Lethal rolls through and holds Shelley for a big clothesline from Creed onto Lethal’s knees. Creed slides out and hammers away on Sabin with right hands as Lethal comes out to join him. They fling Sabin back into the ring and Lethal and Creed try to bring the ladders into play. Sabin and Shelley hit stereo baseball-slide dropkicks and send Lethal and Creed sprawling onto the floor before we hit a commercial break.

We’re back and Lethal hits Sabin with some jabs before Sabin catches him and hits an elevated Roll of the Dice in the corner onto a ladder. Sabin gets the ladder set up under the belt as Creed and Shelley fight outside, but Creed comes in to break it up, hitting Sabin in the ass with a spare ladder. Creed sets up the ladder between the corner and the ladder in the middle of the ring. Sabin’s stuck on it and Creed tries for a springboard, but Shelley saves his partner and drops Creed to the floor before pushing Sabin off the ladder. Shelley tries a right hand on Creed, but Creed blocks it and fires off one of his own before bulldogging Shelley into the ladder. Sabin hits Creed with a spinning kick to the gut before dropping Creed face-first onto the ladder and throwing him out to the floor. Sabin tries to go up again, but gets cut off by Jay Lethal. Both men stand up on top of the ladder and Lethal hits a HUGE uranage onto the ladder. Lethal begins to climb, but Shelley cuts him off with a shot from behind before hitting a SUPER JAWBREAKER!! Shelley follows that up with SLICED BREAD OFF THE LADDER!! Shelley’s up on the ladder, Shelley unsnaps the belt and Shelley is still the champion!! HERE COMES SUICIDE!! HE KNOCKS SHELLEY OFF THE LADDER!! Kick for Sabin!! Headbutt for Lethal!! POWERBOMB ON CREED!! Suicide grabs Lethal and rams him face-first into the corner before grabbing Alex Shelley for what can only be described as a crazy-looking faceplant suplex. Suicide grabs the X-Division championship belt and drops it across the chest of Shelley before the lights go out. When the lights come back on, Suicide is gone and Sabin and Shelley are consoling each other in the middle of the ring.

Winner: Alex Shelley **3/4

(If they had gotten a little bit more time, this one could have been rated a lot higher. They had some really fun spots and some spots that haven’t been seen in ladder matches in some time or ever. The ending bit with Suicide was actually pretty fun too as it looks a LOT better with Daniels using the gimmick than it ever did with Kazarian working it. I would guess that this is building to Suicide being part of the Ultimate X match and if it is, it should be good times all around because Daniels is great in that Ultimate X environment.)

We’re back from the final commercial break and Jeff Jarrett is making his way down to the ring which means it’s time for the contract signing for the main event of Destination X. It’s time for YOUR main event interview!! Jeff Jarrett gets on the microphone and introduces both Kurt Angle as the first participant in the main event of TNA’s next pay-per-view. Angle comes down with his security troupe and a microphone, as well as the rest of the Mafia. Nash grabs the microphone and says that it didn’t have to be this way because Booker already told him there isn’t going to be a match. Nash says that Jarrett doesn’t want to screw with him and adds that the match isn’t going to happen. Jarrett asks Angle who the boss is in the Main Event Mafia. He says that Angle said he was the boss, but Booker and Nash have been doing all the talking for him. He asks Angle to explain it to him, saying that he’s not the biggest movie buff, but in the gangster movies, the thugs usually stand behind the godfather of the family. Jarrett says that the way he’s seeing it and hearing it, there’s a big difference between Angle and the movie godfathers because they had balls and Angle doesn’t. Angle gets right into Jarrett’s face and grabs the clipboard with the contract away from him. He looks it over and with the Mafia and Jarrett talking into his ears like the devil and the angel. Angle stares right at Jarrett and signs it before HITTING JARRETT WITH THE CLIPBOARD!! ANGLE’S PUNCHING THE SHIT OUT OF JARRETT!! HERE COMES MICK FOLEY WADDLING TO THE RING!! The Mafia backs away from Jarrett as Foley gets into the ring and ANGLE ATTACKS FOLEY!! ANKLELOCK ON THE HARDCORE LEOPARD!! HERE COMES A BASEBALL BAT WITH STING IN TOW!! STING HITS ANGLE WITH THE BAT!! ANGLE’S LAID OUT AND STING STANDS TALL!! Sting looks at Jarrett and helps him to his feet before heading over to Foley and helping him up to his feet as well. The crowd chants for Sting and Jarrett hands Sting the contract. Sting looks to the crowd and Sting signs on the dotted line!! He drops the contract on the prone Angle and looks down at his Mafia brothers on the floor before leaning out to talk to them. He leaves on his own as Mafia security come in to tend to Kurt Angle and we’re out of time from Orlando!! What a finish to a really entertaining show!
