00:00:00I trust Sting implicitly.
00:00:02I always have.
00:00:03You know, if he's going to put himself in this position of active wrestler,
00:00:06I'm going to be ringside there to support him tonight.
00:00:09He wanted to go to Victory Road with the Ed Factor and a no-holds-guard match.
00:00:14He felt the consequences.
00:00:16Sting went for the Scorpion Death Drop.
00:00:18Back of Sting's head.
00:00:20Went right into the chair.
00:00:22And Dixie Carter was about to come to ringside and cheer on her authority figure.
00:00:27Dammit, what are you doing?
00:00:28What are you going to do, Dixie?
00:00:30There's nothing you can do.
00:00:33I've got to step down as general manager of this company.
00:00:37So I've got to go home and I've got to get better.
00:00:40You've got to let me give the power of Impact Wrestling to the real Hulk Hogan.
00:00:50I trust Hulk Hogan.
00:00:52I'm asking you to trust Hulk.
00:00:55What do you say? What's it going to mean, Hulkster?
00:01:01You saw what I saw last week. No decision was made by Hulk.
00:01:05So I gave him the week to think about it.
00:01:07He's got a big decision to make.
00:01:09You know, I do too, quite honestly.
00:01:11So he's agreed to meet with me later today.
00:01:14And we're going to go off-site.
00:01:16I'll know more then.
00:01:17And we'll find out later.
00:01:18We all will.
00:01:30Huge news right off the bat.
00:01:33You heard about it from TNA President Dixie Carter.
00:01:35The deadline is set.
00:01:37We expect the decision tonight from Hulk Hogan.
00:01:40Will he take over as the man in charge of Impact Wrestling?
00:01:43I am amped.
00:01:44I can't wait.
00:01:45I'm fired up.
00:01:45I'm amped up.
00:01:46We will find out tonight.
00:01:47It seems like there's a deadline on here.
00:01:49And we open tonight's broadcast with the arrival of the world champion Bobby Roode.
00:01:54And he's not alone.
00:01:55No, definitely Bobby Roode, the world champion.
00:01:58Flanked by, well, police involvement.
00:02:01I think he needs that.
00:02:02He needs that to watch his back.
00:02:04Not just from Cowboy James Storm, a number of contenders.
00:02:06But let's face it, Bobby Roode is a mocked man.
00:02:10He's the most hated man in the company quite possibly in the business.
00:02:14After what this SOB did at Victory Road.
00:02:17Not just the sting.
00:02:19But how he punished the company in the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:02:22And what he did to despicable actions towards TNA President,
00:02:26Miss Dixie Carter.
00:02:27Couldn't agree more.
00:02:29At Victory Road, our World Heavyweight Champion.
00:02:32And it's tough to even say those words.
00:02:35That's the facts.
00:02:37His actions, they were degrading.
00:02:41They were humiliating to both states.
00:02:44And TNA President Dixie Carter.
00:02:46This is the first time we've seen Bobby Roode since Victory Road.
00:02:51He called him the most hated man in professional wrestling.
00:02:53Last week he was hiding behind a legal advisor.
00:02:57He's still trying to find the chiclets that James Storm kicked right out of his mouth
00:03:02with that last call superkick.
00:03:03First of all, for those of you who have emailed, who have tweeted, who have Facebooked,
00:03:13who have handwritten letters to the offices of Impact Wrestling stating that you want Bobby fired.
00:03:24I have a message for each and every one of you.
00:03:30Fire Bobby!
00:03:32Fire Bobby!
00:03:35Fire Bobby!
00:03:37Fire Bobby!
00:03:38Fire Bobby!
00:03:51Fire Bobby!
00:03:52Fire Bobby!
00:04:18Fire Speaking
00:04:21I mentally beat you down not only did I win the fight but last Thursday night
00:04:33when you came out here and you stepped down as the general manager that
00:04:41solidified me as winning the war
00:04:49I proved at Victory Road that I'm a better man that I'm a better wrestler and that I'm a better
00:04:56world champion than you ever were in your entire career Sting
00:05:10and Dixie Carter
00:05:14you wanna eyeball me you wanna stick your nose into the champs business well dare I say you got yours
00:05:24didn't you Miss Dixie

00:05:33because the fact is nothing and no one is gonna stop me
00:05:44now
00:05:46now
00:05:48what you need to know
00:05:50last week my lawyer came out here and stated the fact that I don't even need to be here
00:05:59the only obligation that I need to fulfill
00:06:04is that lockdown inside the steel cage when I defend my world heavyweight championship against James Storm
00:06:16you see as far as I'm concerned after Victory Road this has turned into a very hostile work environment very
00:06:24unsafe for the champ
00:06:26hence
00:06:27some of Orlando's finest
00:06:31now
00:06:32now
00:06:33these police officers aren't here for my safety no they're here for your safety storm
00:06:42that's right they're here to protect you cowboy
00:06:46because you want to run around and shoot your mouth off
00:06:50saying that on lockdown you don't want to wrestle you want to fight
00:06:53last week you came out here and called the champ out and said you wanted to fight
00:07:01well Storm the last thing you want to do is fight me
00:07:07I am the it factor of professional wrestling and you know deep down inside that I am just better than
00:07:13you are in every way possible
00:07:17and I'm gonna prove it at lockdown
00:07:24Storm you want to run your mouth and you want to say sorry about your damn luck
00:07:30well look into my eyes Storm look into my eyes
00:07:34because when you're this great when you're the it factor when you're the world freaking champion
00:07:39you don't need any luck
00:07:43sorry about your damn luck
00:07:50the fight
00:07:52the fight for the world heavyweight title
00:07:54the fight in the steel cage in Nashville Tennessee is just over two weeks away
00:08:00that's what the cowboy James Storm has been waiting for
00:08:04yeah you really got to be careful if you are the self for playing it factor
00:08:08which is kind of hard to argue for
00:08:10look Bobby Roode is the world champ
00:08:13but that man right there cowboy James Storm if he peels off that last cross super kick
00:08:18he will knock the lights right out of the world champ
00:08:22will be crowning in Nashville
00:08:24a new world champion the cowboys
00:08:26James Storm if that kick happened
00:08:28you think Bobby Roode feels secure
00:08:30behind the police security wall
00:08:32that he has in place
00:08:33he can talk all he wants
00:08:35about how it's hurt
00:08:36the safety of James Storm
00:08:37that's just ridiculous
00:08:51he's supposed to be a man right Bobby
00:08:53you're supposed to be a man
00:08:56what kind of man lays their hands on a woman huh
00:09:02last week
00:09:03you want to bring your two-cent lawyer out here
00:09:06well we've seen exactly what happens
00:09:10when you send an idiot
00:09:13to do a man's job
00:09:15and now
00:09:17now you want to bring out your mall cops here
00:09:25let me tell you something guys
00:09:27I'm not here to steal a t-shirt
00:09:29I'm here to kick the living crap out of him
00:09:31oh
00:09:32one by five
00:09:38watch out
00:09:40Booley Ray
00:09:41with the cheap shot from behind
00:09:43on Storm
00:09:45just the scornless
00:09:46was trying to get at Bobby Roode
00:09:48just the scornless
00:09:52get it
00:09:53get your stuff
00:09:53get your stuff
00:09:55well recently we've seen some friction between Booley
00:09:58Oh, and Bobby Roode, maybe that's gone now, but look at Storm.
00:10:02He talked about that last call super kick.
00:10:06And Storm had that kick 1-0 with Bobby Roode's name on it.
00:10:12But Roode escapes like the coward he is.
00:10:15He won't stop.
00:10:16Bring your dumb f***ing.
00:10:17Wrecking his damn ring and kick kick some.
00:10:25Hey, I'm all about kick your f***ing and drinking a lot of cold beer.
00:10:30So I'll tell you what, tonight won't both of you, won't both of you climb on in this ring right
00:10:38here
00:10:38because I got a size 12 that'll fit right up under you guys.
00:10:49What do you say about it, it factor?
00:10:57You're crazy.
00:10:58You won't both of us.
00:11:012-1-1.
00:11:05You're damn right.
00:11:072-1-1.
00:11:09You got it.
00:11:11I think James Storm, I mean, that's insane on his part of the shadows he's got.
00:11:15Did his emotions just take over?
00:11:18It's obviously a courageous move by James Storm to take on two men, but how smart is it?
00:11:32Listen, Madison, don't touch me.
00:11:35Listen, I know this past month has been so hard on our friendship.
00:11:40I understand.
00:11:42But wait.
00:11:47I got this for you.
00:11:48It's for you.
00:11:50Open it.
00:11:55Do you love it?
00:11:57It's for you.
00:11:58You're my queen, Madison.
00:12:00I may be the knockout's champion, but you will always be the queen.
00:12:07Let me put it on.
00:12:09Oh my God, you look so beautiful.
00:12:11And tonight, I just know that you're gonna just beat the crap out of that velvet sky.
00:12:19Of course I will, of course I will.
00:12:22Do you love it?
00:12:22I love it.
00:12:23I love you.
00:12:24I love you.
00:12:25I'm so happy.
00:12:26Does it look awesome?
00:12:28Yes.
00:12:28You look beautiful.
00:12:30Wait, the queen.
00:12:31Yes.
00:12:36The queen is back.
00:12:37I love it.
00:12:38And is the queen gonna be able to do the dirty work for the champ?
00:12:42The lovely and lethal knockouts are next.
00:12:47The bowling knockout contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:12:51Introducing first from Seattle, Washington, Madison Ray.
00:12:57Mike, I gotta say, coming up next, man, can't wait.
00:12:59The conversation between Hope Holton and Dixie Carter.
00:13:03I mean, we're probably gonna find out right then and there.
00:13:05Holton's decision.
00:13:07Will Hope Holton take on his responsibility to take over and be in charge of impact wrestling?
00:13:12I mean, how important is this?
00:13:13The future of the company is at stake.
00:13:16Heavy duty responsibility.
00:13:18I've gotta shift gears here.
00:13:20I'm so happy to see the tiara back on the beautiful hat.
00:13:24And she does have a beautiful hat.
00:13:26On Madison Ray.
00:13:27The queen.
00:13:28The queen is back.
00:13:29I guess now Madison and Gail Kim, they've ironed out their differences.
00:13:34And maybe we should have known.
00:13:36All it took was the gift of the crown.
00:13:38And while the queen is back.
00:13:40Listen, I love when girls make up.
00:13:44And her opponent, from the Big Apple, Velvet Sky.
00:13:52You know, when it comes to the career of Velvet Sky, there's been a lot of peaks and valleys.
00:13:58And those are some peaks, Taz.
00:14:01But Velvet, her focus has never wavered intent on reclaiming the Knockouts Championship.
00:14:08That position at the top of the Knockouts food chain.
00:14:11We all know that she once again wants to become Knockouts Champion.
00:14:16I think this is your cue.
00:14:18Yep, well, the Hydraulics just kicked in.
00:14:21Step one.
00:14:22It's been a while, but I have to say, let the Pigeons loose!
00:14:29Yep.
00:14:30So great to have the Pigeons and Velvet Sky back on Attack Wrestling.
00:14:35And here comes Madison Rayne.
00:14:37Attack even before the opening bell.
00:14:39And this is all about Gail Kim, the Knockout Champion, and her wishes to eliminate competition in the division.
00:14:47Well, you gotta, I mean, I'm just assuming here that Madison Rayne, she's gotta be in a great place right
00:14:51now mentally.
00:14:52She just made up with her buddy, her best friend.
00:14:55And Gail Kim, the Knockouts Champ.
00:14:57She got her tiara back.
00:14:59She's got Gail's support.
00:15:00And now she's got momentum right here going against the lovely Velvet Sky.
00:15:03What more do you need?
00:15:05Nothing.
00:15:05Except they call a commentator, maybe, yes.
00:15:10Volunteering?
00:15:10Yeah, well, you know.
00:15:14Hurley Attack, even before the opening bell for Madison Rayne, has this match totally in her favor with Velvet on
00:15:20the defensive.
00:15:22You have any thoughts?
00:15:24Have you heard anything about the potential for Hulk Hogan to accept the offer from Dixie Carter to take over
00:15:31Impact Wrestling?
00:15:32I mean, I know you and Hulk are pretty close.
00:15:34Yeah, no, I am.
00:15:35I know Hulk very well.
00:15:36I mean, I gotta say, though, buddy, I hope, I hope Hulk takes this opportunity and takes on his responsibility.
00:15:44And basically, oh, that's running Impact Wrestling again.
00:15:47Basement dropkick followed cover for two by Velvet.
00:15:50But I don't know.
00:15:51I mean, Hulk knows it's a heavy responsibility.
00:15:53I mean, it's wavering, I would assume, on Hulk.
00:15:56But again, coming up next, right after this, coming up next is that conversation with Dixie Carter, TNA president and
00:16:03Hulk Hogan.
00:16:05Also still to come tonight on Impact Wrestling, the former tag team partners, the former world tag team champions, they're
00:16:12going to finally settle their differences when the undefeated Crimson faces the blueprint.
00:16:17Matt Morgan, that's what's going to be big.
00:16:18Yeah, that's going to be real big.
00:16:19I agree.
00:16:20Oh, that face plant right there by Madison on Velvet Skye.
00:16:26Madison is in the driver's seat in a big way here.
00:16:33Madison's going to go ahead.
00:16:34Velvet exactly where she wanted her.
00:16:35But Velvet has seen that move in the past.
00:16:38Well scouted.
00:16:39Had a perfect counter prepared.
00:16:42But now with Velvet dead in the corner, tries to use the boots.
00:16:47Yeah, nice kicking off right there by Velvet Skye.
00:16:49And that's what Velvet needs to try and do, is string a few moves together to get something rolling here.
00:16:55Boom!
00:16:57Running tackle.
00:16:59Spear-like move out of the corner by Velvet.
00:17:01And all of a sudden, that could be the first move, including, like you said, that string of moves together.
00:17:06It's about the face plant bulldog style.
00:17:08Yeah, well you can see Velvet's confidence at an all-new level during this match-up right now.
00:17:14He's prancing around, feeling like the top pigeon in the coop.
00:17:21Madison, she knows where she's at.
00:17:25She's got a picture of a blimp on the back of her buttocks.
00:17:27What is that?
00:17:28A blimp on the back of her buttocks.
00:17:28A blimp on the right.
00:17:30In your face right there by Velvet.
00:17:33Hit to perfection.
00:17:34Here's the follow-up cover.
00:17:35The pin in the three count.
00:17:37Get it over here.
00:17:39Velvet's got it!
00:17:42Went through a lot.
00:17:43Velvet went through a lot during that match.
00:17:45I mean, a good chunk of that match.
00:17:47Madison Rain was on the offense.
00:17:49But at the end of the day, the one-two-three with Inyo Face goes to the hot Velvet's got
00:17:55it.
00:17:55And what about the knockouts champion, Gail Kemp?
00:17:57She was hoping that Madison Rain was going to eliminate the competition from the knockouts division.
00:18:04But that is not what took place as Cassidy goes out to take another look.
00:18:08Well, check it out.
00:18:09This double underhook right here by Velvet Skye.
00:18:11Oh, yeah.
00:18:12She calls it Inyo Face.
00:18:13Not your.
00:18:14That's yo.
00:18:14That's what the crew is saying.
00:18:15And Velvet got the victory in very sexy fashion, my, my dad.
00:18:21They win time, Velvet Skye, so what's next?
00:18:24You know what, Gail?
00:18:25I'm talking to you on this one, okay?
00:18:28You've been so preoccupied with your BFFFFFF over there on Madison Rain.
00:18:33But you forgot one small, important detail.
00:18:39You never gave me my rematch for that belt.
00:18:44So you know what?
00:18:45You know what?
00:18:47I put the entire knockouts locker room on alert.
00:18:50That I'm coming for you.
00:18:52And I'm coming for my title.
00:18:56Watch it, Gail.
00:18:58I'm coming for you.
00:19:01Gail Kemp on alert.
00:19:03I mean, Velvet Skye deserves another shot.
00:19:06She deserves a rematch.
00:19:07Well, we shall see.
00:19:09Velvet's locked and loaded, baby.
00:19:12We know that Hulk Hogan is here.
00:19:15We know TNA president Dixie Carter is here.
00:19:17Our Impact Wrestling cameras.
00:19:19They documented it all.
00:19:21Will Hogan take charge of Impact Wrestling?
00:19:24The footage.
00:19:24Hogan and Dixie right after the break.
00:19:27I think if you take your eyes off that belt for a second.
00:19:30You know, we ain't exactly been BFFs.
00:19:33For the past couple of weeks.
00:19:35I'm tired of being humiliated by Storm.
00:19:38And you should be a little worried about him in that cage in Nashville.
00:19:43Really?
00:19:43Last week, he took out Kaz and Daniels.
00:19:46We ain't Kaz and Daniels.
00:19:48I'm Bully Ray.
00:19:49You're the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:19:51Let's go out there tonight and take care of the thorn in our side.
00:19:55You had me for my law.
00:19:56Let's do it.
00:19:57Do it.
00:19:58That's stupid.
00:20:00All right, bring it in.
00:20:03Thanks for meeting with me today.
00:20:06I just wanted to get away from everything.
00:20:09I mean, my God, I owe you that much.
00:20:11I mean, after all the craziness, I owe you that much.
00:20:15Listen, I find this pretty ironic that I'm sitting here asking you to come back to Impact Wrestling
00:20:22after everything that's happened.
00:20:24Two years ago was a highlight in my life, my career.
00:20:31And things have taken a big turn here.
00:20:34But I'll tell you, I never trusted Eric.
00:20:37And I told you that.
00:20:39No, let me just say this.
00:20:40No, we had a good run.
00:20:42I mean, we had two years with some dynamic stuff going on.
00:20:45We had a lot of good times.
00:20:47And we had some bad times.
00:20:48I get into some bad stuff.
00:20:50And I don't want to put it all off on Eric because it takes two to tango.
00:20:55And I was definitely brought into the mix of this bad stuff.
00:20:58And I participated.
00:20:59So I have to own up and I have to claim my life and stand up for what I was
00:21:03part of.
00:21:04But you separating yourself from that told me everything.
00:21:09It really did.
00:21:10And I know you've been talking to Sting over these last five months since Bound for Glory.
00:21:16And he tells me and he believes.
00:21:19He's like, Dixie, this is the true Hulk Hogan.
00:21:21He knows you so much better than I know you.
00:21:24And I need that true Hulk Hogan.
00:21:28You know, I need to have that.
00:21:31Well, Dixie, it bound for glory.
00:21:33When I saw what I had become.
00:21:36And when I saw the path Eric was going down, I knew I couldn't be that.
00:21:40I'm not that.
00:21:41I never was that.
00:21:42You made a great decision.
00:21:43I know I did.
00:21:44And I walked away and I made peace with you.
00:21:47I made peace with the fans.
00:21:49I made peace with the guys.
00:21:51The knockouts, you know.
00:21:52There was a lot of ground to cover because I left a lot of people hanging.
00:21:55But you don't realize, Dixie, I'm still at peace with that.
00:21:58And my life is not.
00:21:59But you didn't leave me peace.
00:22:01You did not leave me a peaceful situation.
00:22:03And if you're taking responsibility, which I appreciate, be responsible for fixing it.
00:22:09I mean, right now, really, you're the only person that can do that.
00:22:12You know that.
00:22:13But I don't think you realize how good Sting is.
00:22:17I don't think you understand.
00:22:18It's not me.
00:22:19I do realize that.
00:22:20I love Sting.
00:22:21I think he's fantastic.
00:22:22But you heard what he said.
00:22:24He doesn't think he can do both.
00:22:26He wants to get in there and fight.
00:22:28You know?
00:22:28I know what Sting thinks.
00:22:30But what about what I think?
00:22:31I mean, I think I've had my day.
00:22:32I mean, I think I was great for this business when I was in the middle of the battle.
00:22:38But right now, you're asking me to step back in to a dark cloud.
00:22:42And I've been around a long time, Dixie.
00:22:44You're asking me to step in the middle of a dark cloud.
00:22:46And I have never seen anything like this.
00:22:48Bobby Roode has your company turned so far upside down.
00:22:53I don't know.
00:22:54I wouldn't know who in the world can fix it.
00:22:56Sting's your best shot.
00:22:57Well, here's the deal.
00:22:59He's not going to be doing this.
00:23:01He said he needs to step away.
00:23:03You're my only shot.
00:23:04You help get me in this situation.
00:23:06I have no options.
00:23:08I'm here.
00:23:09This is my company.
00:23:11But help get me out of it.
00:23:12Please.
00:23:15Dixie?
00:23:16Will you at least think about it?
00:23:17Wait.
00:23:18You're a very persuasive lady.
00:23:20You're a very gorgeous lady in your heart, in your being, in your soul.
00:23:27It's something that it'll, for me to step back in now.
00:23:33No, I mean, the fans, the people in the back, the boys, I mean.
00:23:37But you heard those fans last week.
00:23:40That told me everything.
00:23:41That told me what they wanted.
00:23:42That needs to tell you what you need to do.
00:23:46My instinct tells me that this ship has already sailed way too far without me.
00:23:53But in all due respect, for you and everything you've done for me and my family and this business, I'll
00:24:01think about it.
00:24:02I will definitely think about it.
00:24:03Well.
00:24:04I'm here because you asked me and because Sting asked me.
00:24:07I definitely owe you that much.
00:24:09I'll think about it.
00:24:09Just do me a favor.
00:24:10We've got a show tonight.
00:24:12I know it's not a lot of time.
00:24:13But if you'll at least show up there, okay?
00:24:16And we'll take this further, please?
00:24:21I will think about it.
00:24:23It's like leaning into the wind right now.
00:24:25But I will be there tonight.
00:24:30And I'll make sure that we put a period at the end of this sentence one way or the other.
00:24:33But the right one.
00:24:34That's what I need.
00:24:35I'll do the best I can.
00:24:36Okay.
00:24:37I'll see you.
00:24:38I'll see you later today.
00:24:39Thanks, bud.
00:24:46Okay.
00:24:47Well, that's pretty massive news right there.
00:24:48My hope Hogan will be live in the impact zone here tonight.
00:24:52That's big.
00:24:53But what does your gut tell you?
00:24:54Is he going to accept the offer?
00:24:55I don't know, man.
00:24:56It's a big responsibility.
00:24:57Hope she's all headed.
00:24:59One way or another, we're going to find out tonight.
00:25:03New World Tag Team Champions.
00:25:05Right now, that's two in a row that me and Crimson have lost.
00:25:10I don't have excuses.
00:25:11I don't make excuses.
00:25:12At the end of the day, a team with better chemistry ended up beating me and Crimson.
00:25:16That's what it's all about, Matt.
00:25:17Winning matches.
00:25:18You know that.
00:25:20This Sunday, it's about me and you being on the same page.
00:25:22Going out there and beating Joe and Magnus.
00:25:24We're getting our Tag Team titles back.
00:25:27We'll get our titles back this Sunday, and then we'll be good.
00:25:30Morgan trying to drive home the point to Crimson that we're a team.
00:25:33I've seen teams be on different pages.
00:25:35These guys are on different books.
00:25:37Crimson spears his own partner.
00:25:39I think Crimson's tensions were screwing that book.
00:25:44Listen, Matt.
00:25:44How about this?
00:25:45Next week on Impact, it's me and you, buddy.
00:25:59Up next, let's settle the score.
00:26:02This former team gone bad.
00:26:05Matt Morgan versus Crimson when we return.
00:26:09You want to know why I won't give Jeff Hardy a rematch at Lockdown?
00:26:12I'll tell you why.
00:26:13Because I hate crybabies.
00:26:15And Jeff Hardy's the biggest crybaby I know.
00:26:18He's a bigger crybaby than my five-year-old son, Cody.
00:26:21I beat Jeff Hardy straight up at Victory Road.
00:26:24And he wants a rematch at Lockdown?
00:26:26Come on!
00:26:27But I'll tell you what, Jeff Hardy.
00:26:29I have an idea.
00:26:30Let's say you beat Ken Anderson in the middle of the ring tonight.
00:26:35I'll give you a rematch at Lockdown.
00:26:37I'll give you something else to cry about at Lockdown.
00:26:39But if you lose, then the Kurt Angle bus is leaving the bus station for good, baby.
00:26:47The falling contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:26:50Introducing first...
00:26:55This is strange, strange.
00:26:57This is Austin Harris.
00:26:58That's as strange as that promo by Kurt Angle.
00:27:01Kurt Angle, I think, lost his mind.
00:27:02I don't know what's going on, Kurt.
00:27:03What's the deal here with Ares interrupting the beautiful Christy Hemme?
00:27:07I mean, it's time for Matt Morgan versus Crimson.
00:27:10I'm a fan of Austin Ares, the extra visit champ, but I'm a bigger fan of Christy Hemme.
00:27:14That's well documented.
00:27:15But what is the deal here with Ares?
00:27:19Austin Ares!
00:27:24Austin Ares!
00:27:26Austin Ares!
00:27:27Austin Ares!
00:27:27Austin Ares!
00:27:27You'll have to excuse me.
00:27:29Austin Ares!
00:27:30This is not my scheduled time to be out here, but it seems lately people just come down to
00:27:34this ring whenever they feel like.
00:27:36That's why I figured now it's my time.
00:27:40You see, I have a problem.
00:27:43I know you're thinking my problem is that after another successful exhibition title defense,
00:27:48there's no competition left for me.
00:27:51And this is true.
00:27:54But right now my problem has a name.
00:27:58And it's name is Bully Ray.
00:28:05You see, Bully Ray, I know just like all these people, you're kind of a prick.
00:28:10Some people would say the same about me.
00:28:13And we also know that you had to be so embarrassed, it only took James Storm two minutes to super
00:28:21kick the taste out of your mouth at Victory Road.
00:28:27So what did you do?
00:28:29You decided to take that embarrassment, that frustration, that anger, and take it out on
00:28:34anybody you saw fit.
00:28:37And it just so happened to be right in the middle of one of my X Division four-way title
00:28:42matches.
00:28:45But let me introduce you to who I am, in case you forgot.
00:28:49I'm Austin Ares.
00:28:52I'm the X Division champion, I'm the greatest man that ever lived.
00:28:57I'm Mr. Money's worth.
00:28:59And when you put that boot in my face, and you laid me out, now we've got a problem.
00:29:10You see, when I step in this ring, I'm not the biggest guy.
00:29:15But you know what I do have?
00:29:18I've got a set of balls every bit as big as both of your calves.
00:29:26You see, I could not live with myself if I let people like you walk all over me.
00:29:31I say what's on my mind, and I speak the truth, and I stand up for myself.
00:29:37That sounds a little bit like another guy we just saw here, James Storm.
00:29:43I don't consider myself a country fan, and I'll always take a nice glass of red wine over
00:29:49a cold beer.
00:29:50But I respect a man like James Storm, who stands up for himself.
00:29:56So James, I know you're back there, and I know you want to get your hands on Bobby Roode.
00:30:01And now you know I want to get my hands on Bully Ray.
00:30:04And while you're willing to get in there tonight two-on-one, that might be a good idea.
00:30:10But I've got a great idea.
00:30:15Let me fight by your side.
00:30:23Wow, that's rare by Austin Aries, huh?
00:30:26Stepping up, looking to side work for James Storm tonight.
00:30:30He's got a problem with Bully Ray, but I like the way that he just solved the problem.
00:30:35What a team with James Storm tonight against Bully Ray and Bobby Roode.
00:30:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:30:46Introducing first from Fairfield, Connecticut, the blueprint, Matt Morgan.
00:30:52Well, it is payback time for Matt Morgan.
00:30:55The partnership between the blueprint and Crimson, it blew up tonight.
00:31:01Morgan's dying to get revenge.
00:31:03Yeah, this thing is a very combustible situation between two young athletes that have a lot in common for a
00:31:10tag team champs.
00:31:11Morgan sitting on ready.
00:31:13Introduction of his opponent, Crimson, is right after this.
00:31:18And we are back on Impact Wrestling and the volatile nature.
00:31:22The situation between Matt Morgan and Crimson, it's already come to a head.
00:31:26Taz, these two, they just couldn't wait until the end of the commercial break to get going.
00:31:30Well, I used the word combustible before the break, and that's exactly what this is.
00:31:34It's just an explosion, and there's no shocker here between two former partners and two former tag champions.
00:31:42Crimson on the attack against Matt Morgan.
00:31:45The undefeated streak of Crimson is at stake.
00:31:4914 months.
00:31:50Crimson has not been pinned.
00:31:53He's never submitted in a match.
00:31:54It's damn impressive.
00:31:55And if anybody can kill that undefeated streak, it's his former partner in the massive blueprint, Matt Morgan.
00:32:02Just getting word, it is now official.
00:32:04Austin Aries and Cowboy James Storm as a tag team.
00:32:10They are going to join forces against Bobby Roode and Bully Ray, tag team main event.
00:32:15That's also big.
00:32:16That's tonight.
00:32:17Can't wait.
00:32:18I mean, very unique teaming right there that we're going to see between Aries and James Storm vs. Bully.
00:32:24and the world champion, Bobby Roode.
00:32:26That big tag team match is later tonight.
00:32:28I want to remind you that up next, Mr. Anderson is going to face Jeff Hardy.
00:32:34We heard Kurt Angle say it earlier.
00:32:36If Jeff Hardy is able to beat Mr. Anderson, Kurt Angle is going to give Jeff Hardy his rematch at
00:32:42lockdown.
00:32:43Talk about getting beat.
00:32:45I'll tell you, Crimson looks like he's on the road to get beat, and that undefeated streak being done.
00:32:51Well, maybe I spoke too soon.
00:32:53Here comes Crimson.
00:32:55Yeah, Tide quickly changes in favor of Crimson as he takes Morgan up to the arena floor, and there he
00:33:01goes.
00:33:02Boos for it into the guardrail.
00:33:03That's what made these two such a successful team, Mike.
00:33:05As you know, they have so much in common.
00:33:09Similarity in size.
00:33:10Wait, hold, hold.
00:33:10Good cover here by Crimson.
00:33:12Barely gets a one.
00:33:13Similarity in size.
00:33:14That competitiveness.
00:33:15Athletes.
00:33:16Intensity.
00:33:16You talked about the words successful team.
00:33:20I think if Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter, if they're able to work together, if Hulk Hogan can be put
00:33:27in charge, it's another pin attempt here by Crimson, and another near fall.
00:33:31That would be the ideal successful team for Impact Wrestling going forward, and we expect Hogan's decision tonight.
00:33:38Yeah, Hogan will be here live in the Impact Zone.
00:33:41He will be in the Impact Zone tonight.
00:33:44For that decision, can't wait.
00:33:46Big responsibility.
00:33:48A lot at stake.
00:33:49What will Hogan do?
00:33:50We will find out tonight.
00:33:52Crimson with the strikes, and then the follow-up neckbreaker.
00:33:56Dropping the blueprint right in the back of his head.
00:33:58Another thing being up, but plugging the hell out of everything, buddy.
00:34:01We've got to mention this right here, my friend.
00:34:03How about the debut of Cowboy James Strong's music video?
00:34:06Yeah, that's just minutes away as well tonight.
00:34:09Shoulder first goes.
00:34:10Crimson right into the steel post.
00:34:12This quickness of Morgan comes into play.
00:34:15Look at Morgan now.
00:34:16He's trying to get to his feet.
00:34:19He's got to watch his back.
00:34:21Crimson grasping at that shoulder.
00:34:25Power struggle here.
00:34:27Power game from Morgan in this power struggle.
00:34:30Series of clotheslines.
00:34:32Crimson shot off into the corner, and Morgan's prepared.
00:34:35Straight down.
00:34:36Side slam.
00:34:36Look at Matt Morgan.
00:34:37He knows he's in the zone.
00:34:39He knows he's on the cusp of possibly destroying that undefeated streak by Crimson.
00:34:46Last second, Crimson sidesteps Morgan, who goes out to the floor.
00:34:50Hey, come on.
00:34:51Hey, guys, knock on that streak.
00:34:52Come on, come on.
00:34:54Battle continues.
00:34:55Outside here.
00:34:56Referee's been in a position where he's tried to give him a little leeway in this match,
00:35:00there's been so much of this fight that's been out here on the arena floor.
00:35:04Well, there's so much emotion involved between these two.
00:35:07Plus, they were friends.
00:35:09They had a common bond.
00:35:11And holding the tag team championship as a team,
00:35:15obviously broken closer together.
00:35:17But that's done.
00:35:18That is down here.
00:35:19Look out here.
00:35:25There is no winner.
00:35:27This is a double count out.
00:35:29You hear the decision.
00:35:31Referee has counted both men out.
00:35:33The ring just couldn't contain these two.
00:35:35Yeah, they didn't care.
00:35:36Morgan and Crimson did not care.
00:35:38I mean, obviously, it seems to me that Crimson's undefeated streak would stay intact.
00:35:44He was not paid or submitted.
00:35:45But Morgan could care less.
00:35:47Morgan is beating the daylights right now out of Crimson.
00:35:50Yeah, it's more about payback and revenge than the unbeaten streak.
00:35:54At this point, for the blueprint, Matt Morgan, as the two continue to exchange.
00:35:59These two big bohemians, man, they're going to just keep fighting.
00:36:03Well, how physical has this been?
00:36:05Out the arena door, nothing's been settled.
00:36:09Still to come.
00:36:10What's it going to be, Hulk?
00:36:12Will Hogan accept Dixie's offer to run Impact Wrestling?
00:36:16Has that decision?
00:36:17It's tonight.
00:36:18What we heard Kurt Angle say earlier tonight, if Hardy beats Anderson, then Kurt will be
00:36:23more than happy to face Jeff Hardy at Lockdown.
00:36:26While Hardy and Anderson is next.
00:36:30Excuse me.
00:36:31Excuse me, guys.
00:36:32Excuse me.
00:36:33Sorry.
00:36:34I hate to interrupt.
00:36:35Yeah, what's up?
00:36:35I'm Joseph Park.
00:36:36Okay.
00:36:36Nice to meet everybody, man.
00:36:38How are you today?
00:36:38You guys might know my brother, Chris.
00:36:40Abyss.
00:36:41Oh, yeah.
00:36:42Right, right, right, right.
00:36:43This is the nerve center of it all right here, huh?
00:36:47This is where all the magic happens.
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:49Pretty neat.
00:36:50You know, it reminds me back in college when I played college football.
00:36:52I got to go into the truck runtime and watch what they did, and it was just amazing what
00:36:56you guys do.
00:36:57Absolutely amazing.
00:36:58You know, what brings me here today, guys, is I want to talk about Chris, you know?
00:37:03I've been trying to find him.
00:37:04You guys know that now for a couple weeks.
00:37:05I haven't had any leads or anything.
00:37:07You guys point me in the right direction.
00:37:09You guys hear anything?
00:37:10See anything?
00:37:11Oh, boy.
00:37:11Not a while.
00:37:13Yeah, no.
00:37:14Sorry.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:15I appreciate your time, guys.
00:37:17And tell you what, if you do me a favor, this is my card.
00:37:19I'm going to just leave it right here.
00:37:21Sure.
00:37:21You guys hear anything?
00:37:23Give Joseph Park a call.
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:25Thanks a lot, you guys.
00:37:26No problem.
00:37:26Have a great day.
00:37:27Good luck.
00:37:28Have a great show.
00:37:29Take care.
00:37:30Ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight, it's no longer a handicap match.
00:37:35James Storm challenged Bobby Roode and Bully Ray, but now the Cowboy has a partner, X-Division
00:37:40champion Austin Aries.
00:37:42And speaking of James Storm, it's the world premiere of the Cowboys music video, long necks
00:37:48and rednecks, and that's still to come tonight.
00:37:50And how about the blockbuster news we heard earlier?
00:37:53Hope Hogan will be here tonight.
00:37:54His decision that Dixie caught it off from the Cape of Impact Wrestling, it's tonight.
00:38:05Here we go.
00:38:09We're going to disc ca poses a lot.
00:38:14Today we're going to be complete.
00:38:16We're going to behead ahead with us.
00:38:21This기로 Setting is on and out.
00:38:32What's up, assholes?
00:38:38Are there any assholes in the house tonight?
00:38:44Ladies and gentlemen, this asshole hails
00:38:47from Green Bay, Wisconsin!
00:39:02Mr. Anderson!
00:39:13It has been great to see Mr. Anderson
00:39:16return recently to Impact Wrestling.
00:39:18And now Anderson put in a high-stakes match.
00:39:21But it's high-stakes for Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy.
00:39:24You know, Kurt Angle is so reluctant
00:39:26to give Jeff Hardy his rematch,
00:39:28he just keeps putting up roadblocks.
00:39:31Yeah, I can understand what Kurt Angle's doing with that.
00:39:33I mean, he's trying to get Jeff Hardy
00:39:36to jump through some hoops.
00:39:37That's a pretty big hoop right here in Mr. Anderson.
00:39:39Sounds like he's afraid of Hardy.
00:39:44And his opponent, Brooklyn, North Carolina,
00:39:49the charismatic in by Jeff Hardy!
00:40:03Let's be honest.
00:40:04Nobody is more deserving of a rematch against Kurt Angle
00:40:08than Jeff Hardy.
00:40:10Think back to Victory Road.
00:40:11That match was terrific.
00:40:13So competitive.
00:40:14But it ended in controversy
00:40:16and Kurt Angle said it earlier tonight.
00:40:19All Jeff Hardy needs is a victory here
00:40:22over Mr. Anderson.
00:40:23And he'll be more than happy
00:40:25to face Jeff Hardy upcoming
00:40:27at lockdown in the game.
00:40:29Well, you know, you've got to understand,
00:40:31if you're Kurt Angle,
00:40:31you've got to be concerned with this man right here.
00:40:34Jeff Hardy.
00:40:35The offbeat, the bizarre Jeff Hardy.
00:40:37You never know.
00:40:38He's very unpredictable.
00:40:39You never know what Jeff Hardy's going to do.
00:40:42So if you said before,
00:40:43it was Kurt Angle probably a phrase.
00:40:45Well, you alluded to that Jeff,
00:40:46that Kurt's afraid of Jeff.
00:40:47I don't know if a phrase is the right word.
00:40:49I think it's just more of,
00:40:51with Jeff Hardy,
00:40:52you never know what you're going to get.
00:40:54So you've got to be more concerned
00:40:55when you're going to compete against Jeff Hardy.
00:40:58And you're welcome for that analysis.
00:41:00That's the key, isn't it?
00:41:01The unpredictability of the charismatic in Napa.
00:41:05Hence my point about Angle being concerned
00:41:08and afraid about stepping into the cage
00:41:11at Lockdown against Jeff Hardy.
00:41:13Ladies and gentlemen,
00:41:15you will have the opportunity
00:41:16to see Lockdown larger than life.
00:41:19It's going to be on the big screen.
00:41:20TNA Wrestling,
00:41:21direct auto insurance,
00:41:23they present Lockdown on Sunday,
00:41:25April the 15th.
00:41:26And this is very interesting, Taz.
00:41:29It's going to be in select movie theaters.
00:41:31Go to TNAonscreen.com
00:41:33for all the details.
00:41:36I did it, Mom.
00:41:36I'm a movie star.
00:41:38Anyway,
00:41:39so right now,
00:41:40Mr. Anderson getting control
00:41:42of the body.
00:41:43He's in that head.
00:41:43Getting that headlock
00:41:44of Jeff Hardy.
00:41:47So you want to try to
00:41:48keep Jeff Hardy at bay.
00:41:50Don't let him do that crazy,
00:41:53wild,
00:41:54reckless style
00:41:55he's known for.
00:41:56And speaking of reckless style,
00:41:58how about next week
00:42:00with eternity action here?
00:42:01Yeah,
00:42:01who's more reckless?
00:42:02Who's more high risk
00:42:03than the tag team
00:42:05of the Motor City Machine Guns?
00:42:07Chris Saban,
00:42:08Alex Schoen.
00:42:09They're back on Impact Wrestling
00:42:10one week from tonight.
00:42:12Guns are back
00:42:13from Detroit Rock City
00:42:14next week.
00:42:15Can't wait.
00:42:16Nice drop to hold
00:42:17by Mr. Anderson
00:42:19again going back
00:42:20to the headlock.
00:42:21Sound game plan
00:42:22by Anderson.
00:42:24Strategy has been perfect
00:42:25from Anderson
00:42:26neutralizing Hardy
00:42:27not enabling Jeff Hardy
00:42:30to get the offense rolled.
00:42:31Shoulder block
00:42:32takes him down again.
00:42:33Here comes Anderson
00:42:34head of steam off the ropes.
00:42:36Stops at a dime
00:42:36and he just punted him.
00:42:39See Anderson just taking his time
00:42:41stalking the charismatic enigma.
00:42:45I can't wait
00:42:46for this decision tonight.
00:42:47By Hulk Hogan, Mike.
00:42:49I mean,
00:42:49what's it going to be?
00:42:50Will he take the reins again
00:42:51of Impact Wrestling?
00:42:53Will he take up Dixie on her own?
00:42:54I mean,
00:42:54in my opinion,
00:42:55for the future
00:42:56of this organization,
00:42:58I'm sure hoping
00:42:59that Hulk Hogan
00:43:00says yes
00:43:01to Dixie Carter.
00:43:02Accepts the order
00:43:03that controls Impact Wrestling
00:43:04and we are going to find out
00:43:06later today
00:43:06if that's the case
00:43:07as Anderson covers
00:43:08and no,
00:43:09it's just two.
00:43:09I guess you've heard
00:43:10about Eric Bischoff
00:43:12and I'm wondering
00:43:13what Eric Bischoff
00:43:14would think
00:43:15about Hulk Hogan
00:43:16in charge
00:43:17of Impact Wrestling.
00:43:19One thing we know
00:43:20for certain
00:43:20is that Eric Bischoff
00:43:22has what he's calling
00:43:23a final challenge
00:43:25for his son,
00:43:27Garrett.
00:43:27an upcoming next
00:43:29right here tonight
00:43:30on Impact Wrestling.
00:43:31Eric Bischoff,
00:43:32he's going to call
00:43:33Garrett out.
00:43:34Wow,
00:43:35yes,
00:43:35I am definitely
00:43:37excited to see
00:43:38what happens there
00:43:38in that wild relationship.
00:43:42It's a bad relationship,
00:43:43let's be honest,
00:43:45between father and son.
00:43:46I mean,
00:43:47you know,
00:43:47and Eric Bischoff
00:43:48and what he's been doing
00:43:49and the stuff
00:43:50he's been putting
00:43:50his son Garrett Bischoff
00:43:51through and that kid
00:43:52just keeps trying
00:43:54to persevere
00:43:54and fight through.
00:43:56You've got to respect that.
00:43:57You see a theme here,
00:43:58relationships gone bad.
00:44:00Eric Bischoff,
00:44:01Garrett Bischoff.
00:44:02Eric Bischoff,
00:44:03Hulk Hogan.
00:44:04What do you think
00:44:04Eric thinks?
00:44:05Oh,
00:44:05is Harding able
00:44:06to drop the legs
00:44:07right in the midsection.
00:44:08Then the follow drop kick.
00:44:09Go,
00:44:10watch this cover.
00:44:10Here we go.
00:44:11Here's two in.
00:44:12What do you think
00:44:13Eric Bischoff
00:44:14feels about the potential
00:44:15for Hulk Hogan
00:44:17to be running
00:44:18Impact Wrestling?
00:44:18I have no idea
00:44:19but I would only assume
00:44:21in my opinion
00:44:21that Eric's probably
00:44:22not exactly
00:44:23ecstatic about
00:44:24the possibility
00:44:25of Hulk
00:44:26running Impact Wrestling.
00:44:27First slam
00:44:28and another pin attempt
00:44:29and another two count
00:44:30for Anderson.
00:44:30And you see Anderson
00:44:31right there,
00:44:32a couple of near falls.
00:44:33Anderson just trying
00:44:35to beat the relentless.
00:44:37The guy who's just
00:44:38low to a heart
00:44:39and determination
00:44:40in Jeff Hardy.
00:44:42Tough to beat,
00:44:42Jeff Hardy.
00:44:44Big time elbow drop.
00:44:47Series of shots
00:44:49to the chest
00:44:50of Hardy
00:44:51who's slow
00:44:52to get back up
00:44:52to his feet.
00:44:53Kurt Angle's got to be
00:44:54loving watching this
00:44:55right now,
00:44:55I've got to say.
00:44:57Oh,
00:44:57looks like Anderson's
00:44:58going to go
00:44:58for the mic check.
00:45:01Blocked with the
00:45:01series of elbows
00:45:02to the head
00:45:03by Hardy
00:45:04who goes for
00:45:05the twist of fate
00:45:05but that's countered
00:45:06and I think the two
00:45:07just clunked heads.
00:45:09Yeah,
00:45:09definitely clunked heads there.
00:45:11Looks like Jeff Hardy
00:45:12quite possibly
00:45:13got the worst one.
00:45:13He got knocked
00:45:14out of the ring.
00:45:15You see Hardy there
00:45:15on the outside.
00:45:20Hardy going to try
00:45:20and regroup.
00:45:21Wait a minute.
00:45:22What a low blow
00:45:25right there
00:45:25by Angle.
00:45:27What a cheap shot
00:45:28by Angle.
00:45:28From behind.
00:45:29First the low blow
00:45:30from behind
00:45:31and then he runs
00:45:32Hardy's head
00:45:32into the post
00:45:33unbeknownst to Anderson
00:45:35unbeknownst to referee
00:45:36Earl Hebner
00:45:37as Anderson hits
00:45:38the mic check.
00:45:39Shoots the half
00:45:40Nelson.
00:45:41There it is.
00:45:41There's two.
00:45:43Anderson wins it.
00:45:46Mr. Anderson.
00:45:48Well, you can't blame Anderson.
00:45:49He just grabbed the victory.
00:45:51Like you said,
00:45:52unbeknownst,
00:45:52I don't think he had
00:45:53even realized
00:45:54nor did the referee
00:45:55that Kurt Angle
00:45:56got involved.
00:45:57Kurt Angle's
00:45:58the big winner
00:45:58in this match
00:45:59in addition to
00:45:59Mr. Anderson
00:46:00because Kurt Angle,
00:46:02he now doesn't have
00:46:03back to face
00:46:04Jeff Hardy
00:46:05and locked him
00:46:06for long necks

00:53:02a steel mill or a garbage dump
00:53:04you know the more that i see how eric bischoff treats his son garrett
00:53:23for more than i am absolutely convinced that eric bischoff he's fueled by not wanting garrett to
00:53:33succeed all because of eric's massive ego he doesn't want to have another bischoff in the
00:53:37spotlight well isn't that just an opinion on your part michael really honestly isn't it just an
00:53:43opinion opinion and the voice of experience i've been around him for many years well it's pretty
00:53:47well documented you guys hate each other's guts but i digress but yes i'm kind of intrigued to see
00:53:53what happens here what kind of challenge is it the final challenge per se is mr eric bischoff going
00:54:01to give the young garrett bischoff his son definitely a strange strange relationship between eric
00:54:09and his boy thank you thank you please please thank you thank you very much not really please
00:54:36you're all gonna make me cry
00:54:40you know i am i am an amazing man sometimes i amaze even myself i mean every day is an
00:54:51awakening
00:54:52it it i can't describe to you how as exciting it is just to be me
00:55:00and you know i'll give you an example
00:55:04i have the ability the unique ability to manifest change and exert my will within a company
00:55:13with nothing more than a contract that says that i get camera time whenever i want it
00:55:20and with that little bit of power i am able to make things happen the way i want them to
00:55:27happen
00:55:28it's kind of like a psychological ninja type thing it really is amazing but i'm gonna i'm gonna clue you
00:55:36into the secret of my success see one of the secrets of my success is that every day i wake
00:55:43up and i make
00:55:44a checklist of all of the things that i want to accomplish and i'm gonna give you a brief example
00:55:49i wanted sting gone as a general manager check
00:56:00i wanted dixie
00:56:03to find someone who didn't leave even live up to sting's capabilities check
00:56:12and of course on every day i wake up and i want to increase my personal wealth check check check
00:56:20check
00:56:22that's just one example but there is one thing left that for whatever reason i cannot seem
00:56:29to get checked off my list of things to do but i'm going to fix that right now i would
00:56:38like to invite my
00:56:40snot-nosed punk ingrate of a son to this ring right now
00:56:59you know in spite of having to deal with the baggage of having bischoff as your last name
00:57:05young garrett has proved to us that he's a fighter a lot of men they would have already folded their
00:57:11tents they would have moved on garrett bischoff he is not a quitter
00:57:16he's definitely got a load of pride this young man gary bischoff i respect that in this young
00:57:22competitor definitely i mean he's just trying to get his sea legs underneath him in this industry
00:57:27let's be honest but it's tough because he's got big daddy in the way and there's loads of tension
00:57:34so here's the deal punk
00:57:39i'm going to give you a chance to live the rest of your life as a healthy happy well-rounded
00:57:46individual
00:57:46i'm going to give you a chance to enjoy your wife go live on the beach put all of this
00:57:53behind you and
00:57:54just move on because if you don't take this opportunity i promise you you will get hurt
00:58:05and it's really this simple at lockdown i want you
00:58:11to step in that meat grinder of a cage with the head butcher himself gunner one-on-one
00:58:22no outside interference no eric bischoff no rick flair just you and a man that you know deep down inside
00:58:33is going to tear you apart but you can avoid all that by simply turning around right now
00:58:43and walking away right now
00:58:47right now
00:58:51old man you're a jack
00:58:58and apparently a really thick-headed one at that
00:59:04now you seem to have a hard time grasping this concept
00:59:08so let me go ahead and lay it out for you again i'm not going anywhere
00:59:18and if you think for one second that put me in a cage at lockdown with gunner is going to
00:59:26scare me
00:59:26out of here you're dumber than everybody thinks you are
00:59:36so get on your phone get on your twitter your email do whatever it is that you do
00:59:41you go back there you tell gunner i'll be there
00:59:45you tell him i'll see him in a cage and he better bring everything that he's got
00:59:52wow how about that i think we now know eric bischoff's definition of a final challenge
00:59:59throwing his son into a cage against somebody like gunner but we know garrett bischoff he's not going
01:00:05to back down he's not going anywhere garrett bischoff just pumped out his dad
01:00:12still to come the huge decision is about to be made will hulk hogan accept dixie carter's offer
01:00:18to run impact wrestling well the exit is a champion austin aries steps up the fight side by side with
01:00:26james storm as they battle the bully and the champ that's there this is the big one now just over
01:00:33two weeks away april 15th lockdown national tennessee the cowboy challenges bobby rood for the world title
01:00:49in the cage
01:00:55that has to blast
01:01:10my dad told me something when i was very young that always sticks to me he said the world meets
01:01:14nobody halfway you want something you got to take it and that's how i am if something gets me down
01:01:20i'm
01:01:20not going to wait for somebody to hand me something i'm going to bust my butt to earn it
01:01:29when me and bobby got together we wasn't really for sure how how the team was going to work out
01:01:33because we're you know we're two different guys what are they going to do to us jb because the real
01:01:38question is what is beer money going to do to them what will beer money do to any one of
01:01:46those morons
01:01:46who thinks they're going to come within 10 feet of us tonight both of us took a lot of pride
01:01:51in that
01:01:52tag team because it was people saying oh they're just some guys throwing together they won't last
01:01:57long you know they can't make it as a tag team and we proved them wrong so for us to
01:02:02prove everybody
01:02:02wrong and for people to call us one of the greatest tag teams in history i mean that's a there's
01:02:06a true
01:02:07honor to both of us and i don't know what happened along the course of the wave but for bobby
01:02:11to tarnish
01:02:12what we built you know i i get all kind of emails and stuff today you know of people saying
01:02:19kick bobby
01:02:20roo's butt because he broke up one of the greatest tag teams that were around and i think some people
01:02:26feel like they were gypped out of seeing what else beer money had in store
01:02:32i'm training as hard as i've ever trained in my life because this is something that i believe in this
01:02:39is something that i want i don't want it given to me i want to earn this and that lockdown
01:02:44i earned
01:02:46the right to be the number one contender and i'm going to earn the right to be the world heavyweight
01:02:51champion of tna
01:03:00the arrival of hulk hogan at the impact zone signifies that his huge decision it's just moments
01:03:06away is hulk hogan going to take charge of impact wrestling well that's the million dollar question
01:03:11we're going to find out that's still the top what's hogan going to do
01:03:14the bowling dad team contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first from hell's kitchen new
01:03:22york bully ray
01:03:25quite possibly the greatest ring announcer attire in the history of bringing announcing
01:03:30your heart born by christy hammock my friend and then we go to the pasty slightly muscular calves of
01:03:39bully ray nice segue
01:03:44relationships the partnership of bully ray and the world heavyweight champion bobby rude can best be
01:03:51described as on again off again but taz they made it very clear earlier tonight they're going to work
01:03:57together because they need to work together in this impact wrestling tag team management
01:04:07and his tag team partner from toronto canada the world heavyweight champion
01:04:14the world heavyweight champion of bbby rood
01:04:25it was the sickening actions of bobby rood that caused sting to step down as the individual in charge of
01:04:33impact wrestling that brings us to tonight as we await the decision of hulk hogan is hulk going to accept
01:04:41dixie carter's off that's the question that we are going to answer in just minutes but first
01:04:47it's main event tag team time and the world heavyweight champion he's involved and he's involved big time
01:04:54and the world heavyweight champion this man right here bobby rood he is just hated he is just the spies
01:05:00in our locker room i can tell you that from being around the guys and the only guy who's kind
01:05:06of his
01:05:06friend and behind of his friend is his partner tonight bully ray who i thought bully was a tad bit
01:05:13reluctant even to side with bobby rood because of bobby rood's actions at victory road towards dixie
01:05:21carter he said it earlier tonight simply put the most hated man in professional wrestling
01:05:28those are the words that describe our world heavyweight champion bobby rood you can't deny the fact
01:05:34though he's damn good between the ropes the best and their opponents introducing first from minneapolis
01:05:41minnesota the x division champion austin aries it was the actions of bully ray both earlier tonight and last
01:05:52week with the catalyst that caused the expedition camp austin aries to volunteer as james storm's tag team
01:06:01partner bully ray he jumped storm tonight he did the same to austin aries last week and as a double
01:06:09said
01:06:09bully you're gonna pay the price yeah austin aries though he wants some revenge he's pissed off that
01:06:17fully ready to fear this match and he's locked him and all those other guys and i can see aries's
01:06:22point i can
01:06:30tell you what i was kind of digging that music video we saw earlier long necks and redneck yeah we
01:06:39have
01:06:40some uh country superstars in that bad boy right it was great to see my buddy cowboy troy
01:06:45as well as montgomery gentry involved in the video oh i love that guy montgomery gentry he's
01:06:50awesome two guys mr country and west yeah exactly well there's bully ray right there he's still
01:06:57talking grand stores austin aries two guys two guys yeah they're both awesome james storm so ready
01:07:05so willing to face bobby rood he agreed to fight both rood and bully ray in a handicap match tonight
01:07:12but
01:07:12now storm has austin aries as his tag team partner to me the cowboy he's never been more willing to
01:07:21get
01:07:21his hands and if you think about it to get his feet on the world heavyweight champion storm knows he
01:07:27is
01:07:28just one last call super kick away from regaining the world title and storm knows that the steel cage
01:07:35at lockdown it's the perfect setting to accomplish his goal
01:07:48all right here we go the lawson aries gonna like i said earlier fight side by side with storms right
01:07:55now with james storm you know it's kind of weird because james storm it wasn't like he was looking
01:07:59for a partner he was down going one against two you know but i guess storm thinking you know what
01:08:05you're going to help me out let's go fight together
01:08:26well about that bully ray getting some mike climbing out of mike
01:08:31and look at that tanks out does all that trash talk and then tanks in the champion the world
01:08:36champion oh just what it looked like aries was going to get storm involved you know what the cowboy
01:08:42wants that more than anything the blind side the attack from behind by the world champion bobby rood
01:08:48interesting right here watching the world's heavyweight champion
01:08:52pounding on the tna x division champion yeah probably no coincidence
01:08:57that rude wanted to avoid james storm we saw last week where he sent his legal advisor
01:09:03then earlier tonight putting up that that barricade of police officers anything to keep james storm away
01:09:10from bobby rood oh the athleticism again from the x division champion wow kind of showboat a little bit right
01:09:19towards the world everywhere champion oh aries with the shoulder block from the eighth from the outside in
01:09:27right past the back of room how about the quickness here of the x division champ but then stopped and
01:09:32cut
01:09:32off by the world champion i think you know i think it's kind of interesting too kind of intriguing it
01:09:37wasn't too long
01:09:38ago that there was a six-man main event that that had on one side in a team it was
01:09:44the world champion
01:09:45bobby rood it was the x division champion austin aries and bully ray that went south last week
01:09:55with that attack by the bully on the x division champ and the other x division wrestlers
01:10:00how about the reaction of austin aries challenging bully ray to get in the ring no back down from aries
01:10:08more of our impact wrestling main event after this as we return to impact wrestling in our tag team
01:10:14main event taz we are just minutes we're just moments away from the big decision and what is hogan's
01:10:21decision going to be will he take control of impact wrestling well we know hogan is here he will be
01:10:27right right in the middle of the screen to make that decision and that is moments away i agree and
01:10:33look at the x division champ austin aries showboat and bully ray get a little poed well it was the
01:10:40embarrassment that bully ray suffered at victory road that caused him to come out and attack aries and the
01:10:46x division wrestlers last week and a double he's embarrassing bully ray again right here tonight
01:10:53austin air is throwing hands in a quick way and bully ray was not able to connect on any shots
01:10:58he threw
01:11:02spike elbow one after the other to the top of the head of bully ray
01:11:09oh hey that's with that that big size advantage for bully ray helps one big boot was able was enough
01:11:19to shut down the x division champion size and power comes into play in this tag team matchup and talking
01:11:25about tag teams one of the very best tag teams ever in our profession return to action next week right
01:11:33here
01:11:34on impact wrestling the guns are back cannot wait motor city machine guns back right here on impact
01:11:40wrestling that is next week baby bring the exhilaration and a high impact style where you bring chris
01:11:46saban and alex shelley back and to me that just that raises the profile of the tag team division in
01:11:54a big
01:11:54big way
01:12:01all about the beat down for bully ray here against aries talking a little trash right there look at this
01:12:08look like bully ray wow just manhandling austin aries this gut ranch i thought he was gonna german
01:12:15a suplex which would have been nasty by a man the size of bully ray look at that look at
01:12:22that world
01:12:24heavyweight champion bobby rude the man who calls himself a softball playing the it factor
01:12:33and i gotta say it's kind of hard to argue with that especially when you're the world heavyweight
01:12:37champion and you can be the it factor and at the same time be the most hated man in our
01:12:42sport
01:12:43that's what bobby rude is as he continues the assault on the x division team austin aries
01:12:49he has really taken a beating from bully ray and bobby rude over the course of the last couple of
01:12:55minutes well i'm wondering right now if austin aries a little pissed off at himself from volunteering
01:13:01and throwing himself in the middle of this firestorm with jamestorm bully ray
01:13:11and bobby rude and look at that's down just again stopping on the midsection of aries well the
01:13:18importance of tag team basics it's been prominent here in terms of this comeback for bully ray and
01:13:24bobby rude just cutting off the ring not allowing austin aries a to get any offense going or b to
01:13:31get the tag
01:13:32into his partner james storm and again sometimes you know uh you know it's better to mind your
01:13:38business in his business sometimes i gotta be honest with you but you know do you really think though
01:13:43that that's the mentality of austin aries well listen i think austin aries is his own man but
01:13:47he's having a hard time here now he's starting to mount some kind of a comeback but i i i
01:13:52think he had
01:13:53the agenda with the manager's missile drop kick was bully ray but he definitely took a severe beating
01:13:59thus far in this match but here comes austin aries now sensational top road missile drop kick
01:14:08aries has got to get storming the match he's got to get enough more contender in the match
01:14:11there we go cowboy in cowboy to square off with bully ray series of right hands rapid fire rights one
01:14:19after the other then the big flying four on what a series of moves in front of the atomic drop
01:14:28then
01:14:28the clothesline and of course rude backs down while bully takes a beating yeah i mean rude kind of
01:14:34saying letting bully ray get hooked right there but oh man i don't know might be a little late to
01:14:39the big away here champ it's what we've been waiting for finally face to face there's no
01:14:46lawyers out here there's no no no security wall but there is bully ray oh just like at the top
01:14:51of
01:14:51the show which created this whole thing from behind bully ray attacked cowboy james storm saving the
01:15:00hive of the world champion bobby rooney second time tonight started the problems earlier it continues now
01:15:07it's going to be a challenge oh storm catches bully ray caught him at the closing time look at this
01:15:12look at this rude rude with the mouth full of beer watch out cowboy
01:15:18right in the eyes of his own partner and then the last call super kick on the money here we

01:16:28to be
01:16:28dixie carter the tna president and all of us we're ready to hear hulk hogan's decision hulk i know you
01:16:36made it to the building earlier
01:16:38thank you so much for being here and if you do me a favor come on out right now
01:17:13you know in my opinion you have to give hulk hogan credit for thinking things through
01:17:21i think a lot of people who would be offered the ultimate power position in impact wrestling
01:17:26they'd make a knee-jerk reaction but that's not how hulk hogan operates no no hope hogan's successful
01:17:33because he's smart he's calculating he thinks things through and let's face it let's be honest
01:17:38hulk's been to this movie before he understands and i think that's his concern for himself you know so
01:17:44it's very interesting to see what happens here big decision for the hulks to coming up big responsibility
01:17:52that is being offered to him by the tna president dixie carter
01:18:03do you hear that
01:18:09listen i know taking over for sting as general manager is a big decision it's actually a big decision for
01:18:18me too
01:18:20but looking back on last week i realized i told sting if you believe in him then i'll believe in
01:18:28you
01:18:29but what i failed to say to him
01:18:32is that i do believe in you i want you to take this position do you hear these people out
01:18:39here
01:18:47but i do need a decision
01:18:50well dixie i i want to thank you so much i want to thank sting and that's the reason i'm
01:18:56here um
01:18:57all the fans i can't say enough what this whole ride has meant to me
01:19:03but you know it's no secret we met earlier today and in dixie like i said you know i came
01:19:09here with
01:19:10a lot of great things happening and then i got caught up in some stuff i'm not real proud of
01:19:15i'm not
01:19:15trying to blame eric bischoff because i had my fingerprints all over it too but at the end of the
01:19:22day
01:19:23when bound for glory went down i had to make a decision i didn't want to be that guy i
01:19:28was
01:19:29i tried to make peace with myself i made peace with sting with you the fans and dixie i have
01:19:36already closed the book on this part of my life
01:19:46it almost sounds like holding made his decision but now we have the music of sting
01:19:53yeah i don't know about it he just said he closed the book yeah that kind of sounds to me
01:19:57like
01:19:58no thanks looks like sting's got some backup
01:20:03i see jeff hardy i see matt morgan who else is back there you can tell
01:20:19it's like a.j styles
