Tonight, IMPACT is being touted as Kurt Angles Champions Showcase.
3 title will be on the line and tonights main event will be a 20-man
Battle Royal to determine a new #1 Contender for Lashleys TNA World
Heavyweight Championship. Its an action packed-event that you do not
want to miss, beginning at 9/8c on Spike TV.
However, Kurt Angle has just tweeted to Willow asking to speak with
him tonight to kick-off the show! What could this mean? Last week, we
all saw the exchange between Angle and Samoa Joe that promised to
unleash a more aggressive Joe. Weve also seen many other positive
improvements from the new Executive Director, including the return
of the 6 Sided Ring, the retirement of the TV Title and more. What
could be in-store when Angle and Willow go face to face? You wont
want to miss the start of tonights IMPACT!

One of the most shocking things weve seen this summer is the return of
Rhino. Of course, Rhino and Bully Ray are longtime friends so when we
first heard GORE, GORE, GORE! we all assumed that back-up was coming
to the outnumbered Bullys aid.
How could it be that Rhino has aligned himself with EC3, Rockstar Spud
and Dixie Carter? How did this all come together? We caught up with EC3
to get his take on what happened.
This week, weve been told that Rhino and Bully Ray will go face to face
and Rhino will outline why he made this decision and what it is about
Bully Ray that we dont know. One thing we know about the badass from
Hells Kitchen, he doesnt take kindly to being attacked especially
when the attacker is a former close friend. We may have just celebrated
the Fourth of July, but this have high expectations for the fireworks
we will see this Thursday on IMPACT!

Last week on IMPACT, Gail Kim got her wish (and the wish of many fans
across the globe): a fair shot at Angelina Love. Something that Love had
managed to escape for weeks, thanks in large part to her Beautiful People
partner Velvet Sky (and some terrible officiating from referee Brian
Stiffler). Capitalizing on the shot she needed, Gail Kim made Angelina Love
Eat Da Feet and picked up her fourth reign as TNA Knockouts Champion!
This Thursday, Gail is already putting the title on the line in impressive
fashion! A four way dance versus Angelina Love, Madison Rayne and newcomer
Brittany not necessarily our idea of a FUN title match, but a respectable
one nonetheless.

Since arriving in TNA several months ago, The Wolves have proven themselves
to be one of the best tag teams in all of professional wrestling. Quickly
capturing the World Tag Team Titles and defending those titles on a weekly
basis, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards have become two of the hardest working
men in TNA and have become widely respected for the work ethic.
This Thursday, however, the team faces their toughest challenge yet. Since
Bram arrived on the scene, he and Magnus have trampled everyone in their path.
Not only trampled, but violently conquered their opponents and dismantled
them one-by-one. Bram and Magnus have shown a bloodlust unlike any in recent
memory. Not motivated by wins and losses, Bram and Magnus have been motivated
by violence and destruction.
After taking out Willow and Abyss, Bram and Magnus have been rewarded with a
shot at the gold. The Wolves are game and ready to hunt their next prey. Will
the idea of holding TNA gold bring a focus to Magnus that we havent seen since
he was standing tall as World Champion? Or will Bram keep the chaos alive?
One thing is for sure, if Bram and Magnus can find the focus to care about
TNA title opportunities AND keep the rage they have recently shown, The Wolves
will certainly have their work cut out for them this week on IMPACT.

The originator of Option C is none-other than Austin Aries himself, which adds
even more intrigue to the upcoming bout. Should Aries capture the X Division
Title, one has to assume that he will take the opportunity to face the World
Champion and attempt to regain the top title in professional wrestling.
Then again, Sanada won the X Division Title from Aries months ago in Japan and
has been a dominant champion ever since. Does Austin Aries have what it takes
to defeat Sanada? And if Sanada holds on, will the rising Japanese star cash
in the title for his very own shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Champion?
Surely that would be the most impressive way for him to show The Great Muta,
his mentor, that he is doing well in TNA!
All this and much more on Thursday's huge IMPACT WRESTLING broadcast on SpikeTV at 9/8c!
