No we're NOT IN ORLANDO TONIGHT! This should be a nice change of pace and it's always interesting to see the difference between a burned out crowd as the Orlando fans are as opposed to see a fresh group of people seeing it. We get some more building towards No Surrender and it might be the last night of the BFG Series. Let's get to it.
Here's Hogan to open the show and threaten to get in a fight with a fan in the front row. He talks about how the Network has approved Sting's request for a match with Flair which will be in two weeks on the 15th. If Sting wins, it's Hogan vs. Sting (no date mentioned but Sting said BFG and I can't imagine it would be any other date) but if Flair wins Sting has to retire. He says it's time for the Network to start bowing to Hogan instead of the other way.
Here's Kurt and Hogan apologizes for Dixie screwing him over. Carter can never run things again so tonight it's Angle vs. Sting so that Angle can cut the cancer out of TNA once and for all. Angle says all of Hogan's enemies are now his enemies. He promised to take out all of the young guys and would be glad to add a veteran to it.
This brings out Sting who does his usual insane stuff. He's willing to fight Angle tonight because he wants to I guess. Sting is happy to face Angle so he can move onto Flair and then the big prize of Hogan. Once he beats Hogan, the evil will leave Hogan. Sting goes to leave but Hogan says cut the music. Hogan thinks there's something going on so Hogan is the guest enforcer.
We get a clip of Crimson being beaten down by Joe and having his leg broken last week. He's officially out of the BFG Series.
Ray talks about being in the Final Four of the BFG Series and says the title is next.
Roode talks about working his entire career to get here.
Storm talks about wanting it more than anyone else.
Bound For Glory Series: Gunner vs. Rob Van Dam
For all intents and purposes, the winner is the fourth man. Everyone else is mathematically eliminated and I'm not going to bother listing off the points tonight. It almost has to be Rob going but that would make too much sense so I'm not sure. Joe comes out almost immediately and Morgan jumps up to stop him. Joe kicks him in the balls but security sends him out.
After that we're back to the match at hand and there's not much going on. Gunner gets a slingshot suplex but Rob almost rolls out of it. Rob fires off some kicks and hits the Rolling Thunder. Here's Jerry Lynn but Rob sends him to the back which is probably smart. Rob actually shows some intelligence and doesn't try to go for the Five Star after being on the floor for a bit.
They trade rollups and Rob falls off the top trying to hit the one footed kick. Rob goes up again but Lynn comes back and shoves him off the top, allowing Gunner to hit a running knee for the pin at 4:57. Lynn's smile is pretty awesome. This also puts Gunner into the four way at No Surrender as the fourth man.
Angle vs. Sting is for the world title. I didn't realize that.
All of the Knockouts are coming to the ring for the announcement about Knockout Law.
After a break here are Eric and Traci for the announcement. Eric praises the Knockouts but then says at the end of the day, they're still women, meaning they can't stay focused and are always whining. Traci came to him and offered to lead the Knockouts and more sex is implied. However, Traci isn't in charge. Karen is and Traci is MAD. Karen has her own music which is an upbeat version of Jeff's without lyrics.
Karen says the difference between her and the rest of them is she's a lady. They have to respect her as well. First of all, ODB and Jackie have contracts. Dang it dang it DANG IT. Traci will still have a job, beneath Karen. You can form your own visuals on that one. She'll be Karen's assistant, meaning servant for the most part. Tessmacher looks at her bad and is threatened with being fired and sent back to the cabaret.
During the break Winter and Mickie had a staredown and Mickie shoved her, resulting in a catfight.
Jesse Sorensen/Brian Kendrick vs. Kid Kash/Austin Aries
Aries vs. Kendrick at the PPV. Kendrick vs. Kash to start with Kendrick moving way faster than Kash. Arm drag brings in Sorensen who hits a nice dropkick and grabs an armbar. Aries comes in for a bit and is out just as fast. The heels don't seem to get along but they manage to keep Sorensen in trouble for a bit. He hits a foot to each of their chests and there's the moderately hot tag to Kendrick.
He kicks both of them and it's off to Sorensen who gets crotched and almost superplexed. Tower of Doom hits as we go old school X-Division. Sorensen looks dead but manages to send Kash to the floor. Aries hits a suicide dive on Jesse and celebrates a lot. Kendrick is like the chipmunk has pneumonia and takes Aries out. Back inside Kash hits a top rope clothesline and a release suplex to set up a powerbomb but Sorensen rolls him up for the pin at 5:10.
We get a video on Winter and Angelina which was thankfully changed around a lot to keep it from getting way too creepy. Now they're just vampires which is a lot better than what it could have been.
Winter talks to Angelina about having other lives again. Winter promises to suck the life out of Mickie and the two of them will feast on her bones.
Mickie is tired of the voodoo nonsense. She's going to wrestle tonight, so Winter needs to bring her A-game.
Video on Jeff Hardy and we actually have the Victory Road incident referenced.
Angle is having coffee and Hogan comes in to yell. He wants Angle to come to New York and take care of the Network, specifically saying kill them. Angle isn't happy. Hardy gets to have a live mic next week. Oh dear.
Knockouts Title: Winter vs. Mickie James
Mickie goes nuts on her to start and grabs a rollup for two. Angelina tries to throw the belt in and gets ejected. Mickie grabs a half crab and Tazz says it's very hard to get out of. Less than 3 seconds later Winter grabs the rope and is out of it. Great analysis there Brooklyn dude. Mickie has dominated most of this. The jumping DDT is avoided and both grab the other by the hair and slam them into the mat.
Winter tries that spinning slam but Mickie gets some elbows in and a rollup gets two for each chick. A slow jumping DDT hits for Mickie but Winter gets her foot under the ropes. I'm really glad that wasn't the ending as it would have looked bad. Enziguri puts Mickie down for two. Winter tries to choke Mickie with something but Hebner makes the save. Mickie kicks Winter upside her head and gets the title back at 6:00.
Video on Styles vs. Daniels which is basically Daniels wondering if it's worth it anymore and wanting one more match to prove it to himself and the fans.
Here's Morgan to rant about Joe. He says it's one thing to go after everyone else but now he went suicidal by attacking the Blueprint. He wants a referee too. Joe comes out and beats up the referee and the fight is on. Morgan slugs away and Joe goes for his eyes. Morgan escapes that arm drop move Joe has been using and hammers away.
There are the elbows in the corner and a running Umaga shot in the corner. Joe bails to the floor but pulls the tall guy with him. Morgan loads up the Carbon Footprint but steps on the steps too much, letting Joe know he's coming. Joe kicks him in the little blueprints and cracks Morgan with a chair to leave him laying. Morgan tries to get up and Joe cracks the arm with a chair against the post, trying to reinjure the torn pec.
Robbie E talks to Rob Terry again and is interrupted by Eric Young. They talk about working out and THE TV TITLE WILL BE DEFENDED NEXT WEEK!!!!! I need my medicine!
Styles and Daniels say it's time for the last match. They talk about someone coming back again but don't say who.
Hogan is mad about Hardy coming back and tells Immortal about it. Abyss is standing off in the back and isn't happy it seems. Hogan talks about how the deck is stacked against Sting tonight and implies that he'll be calling the rest of Immortal out to help Angle in the main event.
AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels
Back and forth stuff to start as they know each other so well. Daniels works a headlock which gets him nowhere. A big knee drop gets one for AJ. They go to the floor for a bit and AJ gets a bridging inverted chinlock (that Benoit submission that needs a name) and a gutbuster/backbreaker combo for two. Running STO gets two for Daniels but AJ hits the springboard forearm for two.
This has been very back and forth which makes sense given their history. They strike it out and AJ hits a Pele to send Daniels flying. The backflip into the reverse DDT is blocked and Daniels tries a moonsault (not the BME) which gets knees. AJ tries a springboard something and falls, letting Daniels grab the pin at 7:20.
Post match Daniels won't shake his hand and is all happy that he finally won. It's about time he turned.
TNA World Title: Kurt Angle vs. Sting
Hogan is guest enforcer on the outside. Sting has blue on his singlet tonight. They speed things up to start and Sting controls, sending Angle to the floor for a breather. Back in Kurt takes over and grabs a sleeper which doesn't last long as Sting gets a belly to back. Angle snaps off a German for two but Sting grabs the Death Drop for the same.
Kurt grabs the ankle lock but Sting is able to escape. Angle gets all ticked off but charges into a big boot. There's the Scorpion with Kurt tapping and Hogan calls out the troops, distracting the referee. Gunner runs down with a chair but the referee takes it from him. Hogan uses the distraction to pop Sting in the chest with a chair and that does nothing. Sting Hulks Up but gets caught in an Angle Slam onto the chair for the pin at 6:35.
Post match Sting gets up again but all of Immortal comes out for the beatdown. Anderson runs out with a bat and cleans house.
