411’s TNA Impact Report 10.04.07
TNA Impact Begins…NOW!
-They begin the show with a new video package , similar to others chronicling the birth, life and times of TNA wrestling. It is a rather kick ass video package, something fun for the new and old viewer alike; roughly 2-minutes long. We also have a revamped opening video package. I approve.
-Tenay welcomes us to another new era of TNA.
-Tenay and West run down the card and we head to the first match.

Sting’s son Garrett plays football here. Angle says if he had a son he wouldn’t miss his games, so he will sit in the stands and cheer Garrett on. Sting says if Angle touches his kid he will kill him. That’s not very Christian like.

Dutt hugs JB and says they need to stop talking death and Dutt has started some foundation. Team 3D attacks them and beats the shit out of them.

In the ring they go and kick their ass some more for good measure. Sharky is out now and has a neck brace on still. They kick his ass as well and stand tall. It’s good to see those youngsters Team 3D getting a break. 3D on Sharky. Super-Bubba-Bomb on Dutt. They toss Machismo into the ring and get a table now.

Your X-Division champion ladies and gentlemen. This is TNA.

-Tenay and West discuss this DASTARDLY DEED! They hype Bound for Glory and Leticia on the cover of Playboy.
-Earlier today Robert Roode talked with Crystal. Roode tells her to shut up because this is his time. He is a brand and a multimillion-dollar business. He hired a PR firm. He got his money through his grandfather, who left it to him. Things will change, he is sick of Angle, Sting and Joe who don’t belong in the ring with him. He gets pissed at Brooks and she says they have a problem, she wants to know where they are. He says he is the boss and she works for him. He says she can quit, and she says she can’t because her mom is sick. He puts her in her place and says she better win the title, and losers are not accepted in Roode Inc. Leticia then comes in and argues with Crystal. She is pissed that Crystal is here and they shove each other. This is so bad. This is TNA.

He says Sting’s friend Larry will be walking with a limp for getting involved. Cornette says to calm down and that Angle is playing mind games.
