Ric Flair, who has not appeared on TNA Wrestling programming in two months, is scheduled for tonight's Impact Wrestling taping in Orlando, Florida.
He is slated to engage in a verbal exchange with longtime rival Sting for the episode airing August 18.
Flair stated during a newspaper interview last month that he would be returning to the ring in September to face either Sting or Kurt Angle.
"I don't know for sure, but it will be either Sting or Kurt Angle," Flair told the Albany Herald. "It just depends on whoever wins between them (at Hardcore Justice). You got the scoop right there, brother.

In a Dark Match: Jesus Barbosa defeated Jayson Cyprus with a 450 Splash.
Impact began with Sting coming to the ring with a chair in hand. Sting then fell down the ramp and flop around in the ring jokingly. He takes a mic and says that this is proof that he has lost his mind. He was reenacting what happened to him last week. Everything was a blur to him. He said it was awesome to see the fire in Hogan's eyes. Sting says he and the fans are dying to see Hogan back in the ring. Sting says he want to wrestle Hogan tonight and he encourages the fans to chant Hogan's name.
Ric Flair's music hits and he comes to the ring and gets a mic. Flair questions Sting calling Hogan the greatest of all time. Flair says when Sting got the title ‘Icon’ it says that he is a special thing in this business. Flair says Sting is one of the biggest stars in the history of the business. Flair says he know who Sting is and says Sting is a real icon. Flair says he has been asked when he is going to wrestle Sting again. Flair has that itch again to be the greatest in the business.
Flair says that since Dixie can't pay him enough he does not wrestle enough but he wants to wrestle Sting one more time. Flair cuts off Sting before he can speak and puts over Sting for the person that he is. Flair says if he beats Sting, Sting will have to retire and never wrestle again. If Sting beats him, he will serve Sting Hogan's ass on a silver platter. Flair reiterates that if Sting loses, Sting is gone for good and has to go back to California.
Sting takes off his trenchcoat and asks the people what they think. They cheer and Sting accepts.
In a Bound For Glory Series Match: Scott Steiner defeats Devon with his feet on the ropes. After the match, Samoa Joe attacks Devon and puts him in a leg vice. Devon's kids jump the rail and get face to face with Joe. Pope comes down and gets in-between the kids and Joe until Joe exits the ring. Matt Morgan was on commentary for the match.
On the video screen they show Ric Flair going to Hulk Hogan's office and Hogan is mad at Flair. Flair gives Hogan a hug to try to calm him down. Hogan says that he crucified Sting in the middle of the ring last week and he should be dead. Flair says he's got Sting's number. Hogan says he is done with Sting. Flair tells Hogan that he will kick Sting's ass. Hogan says he needs to make sure that Sting is not breathing by the end of the night. Hogan says he will never wrestle Sting again as Flair blows a kiss to him and leaves.

Robbie E; Mark Haskins; Alex Shelley; Anthony Nese; Zema Ion; and Kid Kash.
Austin Aries and Jesse Sorensen then wrestled for the X Division Title Match. Kid Kash (who was eliminated by Sorensen) came in and hit Jesse with a Moneymaker. Aries tried to get an easy pin but Jesse tried to fight back. Aries got the win with brainbuster.

Styles yelled at Lynn on his way to the back and Van Dam got face to face with Jerry and exchanged words.
Crimson comes out and is limping because of what Angle did to his knee last week on Impact. Crimson says that it has been a long week. He said he used to have a great deal of respect for someone in the back, but there seems to be some issues they have to discuss. Crimson calls out Kurt Angle.
Angle comes out to the ring and grabs a mic. Crimson says that last week Angle was going to eliminate every young athlete wrestler on the roster and Angle chose him first. He says Kurt failed because he is still standing here and he is pissed. Kurt says that Crimson is a nobody going nowhere. Kurt says he was brought in to make guys like Crimson. Without Kurt Angle, Crimson is nothing but a green-ass little bitch. Angle says he has been making people his entire career and it's gotten him nothing but disrespect.
Crimson says no one has disrespected him. The young guys have put Kurt on a pedestal and he says it's an honor to face him. Kurt says that Crimson can't shine his gold medal and Angle says Crimson is going nowhere in this business. Crimson says he is already somebody. He says that next week, Kurt should meet him in this ring and he will show Kurt who he is and why Crimson is here and the now. He says he is real, he is damn real and leaves.
Jeff and Karen Jarrett join Mike Tenay and Taz to do commentary for the main event.

Sting vs Flair might actually get me to watch TNA for a change. I think those two old men might just have another classic in them.
I like SD results. Rhodes has deserved the IC title for a while now, so good for him. Hopefully he winds up in a program with Bryan over it. Del Rio vs Bryan sounds awesome. Should have been on the SummerSlam card. First ever clash of MITB case holders. Oh well. Orton vs Khali sounds intriguing if only because I'm a Khali mark. I'm not proud of it.

Anarquia has a title? I think I may stop watching TNA now.
Angle and Crimson sound interesting as does Sting/Flair
I don't know what to think of Rhodes winning the IC title. On one hand it puts the title on someone with more charisma and in-ring ability. On the other hand, it's Cody Rhodes.
There's seemingly no mention of Wade Barrett which probably means no DB/Wade match at Summerslam.

Fuck erbody but me
Why didn't they have the IC Title match at Summerslam? It's not like they're running out of room on the card.
What the fuck do you mean by that? He's a second generation superstar who has taken this gimmick by the throat to become one of the most interesting and unique performers on WWE TV today. His promos get better every time he grabs a mic, and he's capable of putting on awesome, awesome matches.
ÐаÑбоÑа
doesn't know REAL wrestling...
While getting off to a good start, Cody Rhodes' gimmick has gone virtually nowhere and it is not doing much for DiBiase either. It just does really make that much sense to me. The paper-bagging of people would have fitted in much more with "Dashing" rather than
In the ring, Rhodes might have the ability to have a good match with excellent performers like Mysterio and Bryan but could he really lead a PPV encounter with Ezekial Jackson? I don't think so and in that sense having Rhodes win the title now might have been a better choice. Not sure if he will get to defend it at Summerslam and if he did there are not that many potential candidates. Jackson could be due his rematch but then why have the title change on Smackdown rather than the PPV? There are a handful of high-flyers that could give Rhodes a good match - Sin Cara (fake or not) or maybe a triple threat with Gabriel and Slater?

I'm sorry but what exactly stands out about Rhodes? Other than the fact that he's taken to his gimmick as well as Dustin took to Goldust. Cody has mediocre ring skills and since this gimmick has cut monotonous promos post his feud with Rey. Awesome matches? He had a good/ borderline great match with Rey. He also had a few good matches with Bryan but the again Ted Dibiase has had better. I hate this version of Cody. Dashing was much better as his promos & vignettes were fun but he could also be serious at the same time. Right now I don't find Cody to be at all interesting but unique? I'll give you that but probably for all the wrong reasons.

It's awesome, huh?

Well, Curtis was the definition of bland during his time on NXT and his vignettes were almost as long as the ridiculous amount of time it took for ADR to debut. So I'm happy with his feeding to Henry.
I suspect we'll see Bryan and Barrett get added and Miz has been talking shit on twitter about stealing the show, I smell an open challenge.
