411’s TNA Impact Report 4.19.10

April 19, 2010 | Posted by Larry Csonka

-Live from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida!

-Mike Tenay and Taz are our hosts.

-We get highlights from Lockdown.

-“What We All Fight For” is the title of tonight’s episode.

-AJ Styles makes his way to the ring, in suit, to kick off the show. AJ says that everyone needs to shut up. Now due to his celebration and his victory party, Ric Flair will be here later. Speaking of victory, it was a sweet one last night. He proved that pound for pound, that he is the best in the world. At Lockdown, he stepped into the cage with one of the best and took care of business. No Ric Flair. His athletic ability was too much for the Pope. He was good, but not good enough. He tells Pope not to get down, he is like JJ, Sting, Angle, they are no better than the Pope. It doesn’t matter where or when it is, AJ is the best. Best looking, best athlete, the workhorse of TNA. So all of the guys in the back ready to jump on the bandwagon, well, it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

-Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam makes his way out now. He’s the whole FN show, doncha know. Crowd loves RVD. RVD says that it may confuse AJ, but that is called a crowd reaction. RVD says he heard AJ talk, and he does a lot of that, and AJ seems to think he is the best in TNA. “AJ SUCKS” chant. RVD says he doesn’t suck, and maybe he was the best at some time, but it is obvious to everyone that times have changed. RVD knows AJ is upset that he took all of this time in TNA, and he is used to getting all of the attention. RVD says he is very good, but he has never been that impressed. AJ is having a hard time because all of the wrestlers want to be in TNA, and that is not good for AJ. How can AJ says he deserves the top spot over some of the guys, like “ROB VAN DAM.”

-Jeff Hardy now makes HIS way to the ring. He and RVD shake, crowd loves Jeff. He says AJ has a big head, and at least he is modest. AJ has done a lot, but Jeff is here to do more, and the movement has begun. The Charismatic Enigma is here to complete his world title collection with the TNA World Title.

-And now Hulk Hogan is coming out. He hugs RVD and Jeff, and has a mic. This is what he is talking about. THIS is why everyone is taking about TNA. That is why he brought these guys here. But, it is all about the title, brother. Everyone in the back, listen up. Up your game, because he is raising the bar. He gives AJ respect for holding the title, he is the best. But when you are the champion, things happen, and there is the business of being the champion. Big paychecks, girls and all. That’s why they all want the title. When Hogan was champ, it changed his life. Each night, you have to prove you are the best. There is always a target on your back, and there is always another guy waiting. Hogan cuts the crap and asks RVD and Jeff, how bad do they want the title? Will they put their friendship aside to see who is the best? Will they do it tonight? They shake and Hogan says that is great. Tonight they will do what they do best, tear the house down, while the crowd chants TNA! But, after tonight, when it is all said and done, the man that gets the 1, 2, 3, the winner, will get a shot at AJ and the title. AJ does NOT approve. AJ says you have to consult with him. He won’t be ready by Sacrifice. Hogan says he makes the matches, and it isn’t about Sacrifice. Hogan says he is talking about this. The winner gets a shot…TONIGHT ON IMPACT!

-Ric Flair arrives and is informed about the match. Flair does NOT approve!

-Back from commercial and we head to the ring. Ric Flair will be banned from ringside for tonight’s World Title match.

-Taz says Dixie Carter says that Sean Waltman knew that he would not be at the PPV last night.

-Back from commercial Matt Morgan talks with Shannon Moore. Morgan says that he needs a partner to defend the tag team titles against Team 3D next week. Management is making him take a partner. He says some gold will go with Moore’s tattoos well. Moore jokes about Morgan’s ego being the second person of his “we”. Moore says he has an X-Division title shot next week, and the book of DILLIAGAFFAGAFF says Morgan can kiss his ass.

-Tenay and Taz discuss the big matches still to come tonight.

– Hogan and Bischoff talk about last night, and Hogan will never doubt him again. They discuss tonight’s world title match and the team rematch. Bischoff is looking forward to all of this. Bischoff says “he” will be here tonight and be ready. They also discuss a new world title rankings system to debut next week. Bischoff’s chick, ECW BROOKE, is told to get the files on the ranking system. She has an amazing ass. Bischoff says she takes great DICK…tation.
