Report by Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net
The show opened with footage from last week’s shows… The opening video was shown… Hulk Hogan’s music played as Mike Tenay and Taz checked in on commentary. Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and Miss Tessmacher headed to the ring together. Hogan said he loves coming to work because the greatest talent in the wrestling business is backstage.
Hogan called out Mr. Anderson, D’Angelo Dinero, Jeff Hardy, and Kurt Angle separately and they all obliged. Hogan referred to them as the fatal four, as they are the last four men in the TNA Title tournament. Hogan and Bischoff both praised Rob Van Dam’s performance as champion and discussed the tag match.
Abyss came out with his weapon and entered the ring. He said he came with a “newsworthy revelation from them.” Hogan said he knows they are actually Ric Flair and Fortune. Abyss said Hogan is ignorant. Abyss said “they” was never EV2 or Fortune. However, Abyss said they told him the chess pieces are in place and the plan is ready to proceed.
Abyss said the date is October 10, 2010 at Bound For Glory. Hogan said “they” better tell Abyss to get out of his face. The fans cheered and then chanted Hogan’s name. Abyss said they will take over TNA and turn it upside down. Abyss said it will start with the removal of Dixie Carter and then exterminate Hogan, Bischoff, and everyone else in the ring. Hardy finally punched Abyss as the show went to break.
Footage aired from TNA Reaction of the Beautiful People past and present talking about their current feud.
Madison Rayne and biker chick came out together. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky roughed up biker chick and left her at ringside. They cornered Rayne and set her up for a spanking, but biker chick recovered and broke it up. The ref rang the bell to start the match.
