411’s TNA Impact Report 6.24.05
Welcome to the all-new IMPACT on the web recap! With TNA having no domestic TV deal (besides the syndicated Xplosion, which will run the same Impact as on the web now,) they are now offering Impact for download off of their website! There are two ways to do this:
For regular download: go here! Now this version is zipped, so make sure you have WinZIP or WinRAR to open this download.
For Bit Torrent: go here! Make sure you have your fancy Torrent stuff, that is too advanced for Larry.
Now, this is an “.flv” file, so you need to download a special player that they have a link for or another player that supports the “.flv” files.
With all of the technical stuff out of the way, let’s get to the show! It is 4:10am as I finish this up, it’s all for you!

Winner: “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels @ around 11:00 via tap out
Raven is out now. He has risen form the ashes of a broken youth. His eyes have been opened by violence and his brain has been jumpstarted by blood shed. His life is a case history of broken homes and emotional deprivation and he has endured everything fate has thrown at him. What about me? What about Raven? What about the fact that he has just fulfilled his destiny? He has become TNA’s worst nightmare, he is now the NWA world champion! Jim Mitchell is out! Is he is through with his jibberish, he knows Raven thought he would never see him after Raven left him bloody. He is alive and well and he will see to it that Raven fails. Raven says he always enjoys the inane ramblings of a halfwit, and Mitchell has brought Raven pain, and pleasure. Raven says Mitchell wants a 2nd helping of the Raven effect. He says Mitchell is on the Abyss bandwagon. Mitchell says revenge is a dish best serves cold (old Klingon proverb) and dinner…IS SERVED! Abyss is out! They brawl and Raven fights him off. Off the ropes goes Raven…BLACK HOLE SLAM! Mitchell to the ring and he tells Abyss to grab the chain. He wraps it around Raven’s throat and chokes him out as we fade out…
