Rated TNA: my TNA booking

***I'm feeling like booking again so I've decided to make my own spin on the current TNA product. I'm using the current TNA roster and the booking starts on January 4th, 2010. It's the first show airing after Final Resolution and the card of Final Resolution was modified for my intended booking. I'm gonna post only recaps of the show (pretty much like the spoiler results we see on dirt sheets). I'm also taking TNA on the road, for pretty much all the shows, and I'll try to keep the touring schedule as realistic as possible. I will book two shows a week, Impact on Thursdays and Xplosion on Mondays. Exclusively for this first week, there will be two Impact shows. Feel free to post your comments and make any suggestions. Who knows?***

PREVIEW FOR 1/4 TNA IMPACT (From Flint, Michigan)

-It's been a wild night at Final Resolution as the team of Hulk Hogan, Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley and Chris Sabin were able to defeat the team of Lethal Consequences, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino and Samoa Joe. Somehow, Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan have been able to coexist while "The War Machine" Rhino has openly blamed Consequences Creed for his team's loss. Hulkamania will be runnin' wild this Monday night live as Hogan will be part of a 6-men tag team match with Matt Morgan & Suicide as they take on The World Elite of Eric Young, Homicide & Kiyoshi!

-Speaking of Matt Morgan, he defeated one half of TNA World Tag Team Champions Brutus Magnus in a brutal Strap Match that almost saw Doug Williams inadvertandly cost Magnus the match at an earlier point. Magnus' now focused on turning the page as The British Invasion defend the TNA World Tag Team Titles against Raven & Dr. Stevie this Monday Night!

-In the main event of the night, Kurt Angle goes one-on-one with the SuperMex, Hernandez in a match that could have major ramification on the TNA World Title's #1 contendership! Even with a partner working against him in his match with Team 3D, Angle was able to get the win for his team. Will Team 3D try to seek revenge on Angle?

-Plus, we will have word on AJ Styles' physical condition after the horrifying end to the 3 Stages of Hell Match against Jesse Neal at Final Resolution.

-A video recap of Final Resolution is shown. Highlights from the brutal 3 Degrees of Pain Match between Jesse Neal and AJ Styles, the Strap Match between Matt Morgan and Brutus Magnus, the Kurt Angle/Kiyoshi vs Team 3D tag match and the 8-Men Elimination Tag Match with Hogan/Lashley/Foley/Sabin vs Joe/Rhino/Lethal Consequences are featured on the video. Cut to Mike Tenay and Taz that promote tonight's show and hype the main event between Kurt Angle and Hernandez.

-Madison Rayne beat TNA Knockout Tag Team Champion Sarita with the Implant Bulldog

TNA World Tag Team Championship: The British Invasion beat Raven & Dr. Stevie to retain. At one point during the match, Magnus accidentally tripped Doug Williams on the outside, causing dissension between Magnus and Williams. World Elite leader Eric Young came out to calm things down.

-"The Monster" Abyss beat Sheik Abdul Bashir with the Black Hole Slam

Falls Count Anywhere Match: TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red beat Rob Terry after interference from Bobby Lashley, who came out to neutralize Homicide and Kiyoshi

-Consequences Creed beat Tomko with a small package. After the match, Rhino came out and told Creed that if he had been this good at Final Resolution, maybe he wouldn't have cost his team the match against Team Hogan at Final Resolution. Now, Rhino has his eyes set on going on the war path and Consequences Creed is standing on his way. Rhino Gores Creed and leaves the arena, escorted by security

-Velvet Sky beat "The Future Legend" Alissa Flash with the Beauty Mark. The rest of the Beautiful People comes out and puts the grocery bag on Flash's head. However, Sarita, Taylor Wilde and Daffney make the save

-In the back, Lauren is with the Motor City Machine Guns. She congratulates Chris Sabin for his fantastic job for Team Hogan at Final Resolution. Sabin thanks Lauren but says he feels bad for his partner Alex Shelley because Mick Foley's paranoia over Hulk Hogan cost Shelley the opportunity to be on the team. If it was possible, he would stand up to Foley and make sure that Alex Shelley was given a spot on the team. Christopher Daniels interrupts and disses the Guns for disrespecting Foley. Daniels praises Mick Foley's handling of the whole Hogan situation and tells the Guns that Foley was able to keep Hogan honest and made sure that Hogan wouldn't overstep his boundaries. Daniels plans to rat the Guns to Mick Foley.

-"The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero upsets "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner with the DDE. Postmatch, Steiner flips and assaults referee Slick Johnson

-"The Blueprint" Matt Morgan, Suicide & Hulk Hogan defeated The World Elite (Eric Young, Kiyoshi & Homicide) after Morgan pinned Young with the Hellevator. Sting & Ric Flair watch the match from their private locker room.

-Hernandez defeated Kurt Angle after Cody Deaner ran in and broke Angle's Ankle Lock on Hernandez. Postmatch, Deaner is confronted by Angle, who slaps him. Then, Hernandez delivers the Border Toss on Cody Deaner outside the ring.

PREVIEW FOR 1/7 IMPACT (From Milwaukee, Wisconsin); Mick Foley's in charge!

Impact returns to its normal slot, Thursday night at 8PM on Spike and with Hulk Hogan going away for a recruiting trip, TNA Executive Shareholder Mick Foley has been put in charge of this Thursday's Impact, taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Not a whole lot has been unveiled by Mick Foley but we can already confirm that there is a major turn of events that will take place; Foley has signed a match between Matt Morgan and TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett for this Thursday night! It will be Jeff Jarrett's first match since his loss to Robert Roode almost 2 years ago. Jarrett originally returned alongside Mick Foley shortly after Turning Point but condoned Foley's paranoia over Hulk Hogan's presence in TNA. And with Sting and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair taking a close look at the 6-Men Tag Match last Monday night, one can wonder if Foley didn't receive any suggestion from the Stinger and Slick Ric.

Since he took X-Division Champion The Amazing Red under his wing, Don West has been adamant that he would make his protégé successful. And he did when Red defeated Samoa Joe to win the X-Division Championship. However, DW has a tendency to run his mouth just a little too much. And that's pretty much what allegedly happened when DW said that Red didn't need Bobby Lashley's help to defeat Rob Terry last Monday night. We write "allegedly" because Don West has denied those allegations and that he has too much respect for Bobby Lashley to incure his wrath. Too little, too late, since Bobby Lashley's wife, Kristal, went to Mick Foley and demanded a match between Lashley and The Amazing Red, which Foley gladly accepted.

-This week's main event will feature World Elite's Homicide going one-on-one with "The Monster" Abyss. Leader and Global Champion Eric Young sent the most violent member of his stable to settle the score with Abyss after he defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir last Monday on Impact. Can The Notorious 187 get the job done?

-Dirty Talk with ODB will return this Thursday night as her guests will be TNA World Tag Team Champions, The British Invasion

-Also coming up this Thursday, an official update on AJ Styles' condition plus an exclusive interview with Mike Tenay and one of AJ's closest friends....

Partial Card for Impact 1/7

MAIN EVENT
World Elite's "Notorious 187" Homicide vs "The Monster" Abyss

"The Blueprint" Matt Morgan vs "The King of the Mountain" Jeff Jarrett

"The Boss" Bobby Lashley vs TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red

The next televised TNA event will be TNA Xplosion on 1/11, from Mansfield, Ohio

Results for Impact 1/7/2010 (From Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

-As we go on air, The Motor City Machine Guns are in Mick Foley's office. Foley says that Daniels told him what the Guns said last Monday night about him. Foley feels disappointed because he thought that the Guns could see past their disagreements pre-Final Resolution but because of their "lack of professionalism", he has decided to terminate Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley's contract. Foley asks for security to remove the Guns out of the building. Mike Tenay and Taz are appalled by the move but they run the card for tonight. Mike Tenay also hypes his interview with AJ Styles' friend to be aired later tonight.

-"The Blueprint" Matt Morgan beat "The King of the Mountain" Jeff Jarrett with the Carbon Kick. Sting and Ric Flair are watching in a VIP room. Postmatch, Morgan shakes hands with Jarrett.

-"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner comes to the ring, irate. Steiner asks where was the Main Event Mafia last week after he lost to D'Angelo Dinero. That brings out Beer Money. James Storm says that he doesn't know who's the drunkest between Steiner and himself. Robert Roode tells Scott Steiner to wake up and move on because the Main Event Mafia is no more. It ended when Kurt Angle opened his eyes and realized that everyone just ended up doing the opposite of what brought the Mafia together; they all went their different ways instead of sticking together. Steiner denies Roode's statement and he says that one way or another, the Mafia's still on and if Angle doesn't want to be the Godfather, then he will. James Storm adds that if he doesn't want to listen to them, then maybe this will wake him up. Storm takes a sip of his beer and spits it in Steiner's face. Beer Money celebrates but Steiner assaults Beer Money from behind with his lead pipe. Steiner chokes Roode and puts him in the Steiner Recliner with the lead pipe choking him but D'Angelo Dinero comes to the ring, chair in hand. Steiner flees the ring and Dinero lifts up Roode. After asking him if he's OK and turning to leave, Dinero turns around and smacks Roode with the chair! Steiner neutralizes Storm as Dinero drags Roode in the corner. He puts him into position and hits the DDE on Roode. Referees charge the ring and both Dinero and Steiner leave together. As they're attended to, Robert Roode challenges D'Angelo Dinero to a match later tonight.

-Backstage, we see Kurt Angle arriving in the parking lot. As he walks to the building, a voice shouting "Look out!" is heard and Angle dives down. As Angle gets up, the camera pans across the lot to see Hernandez lying unconscious in the parking lot, next to a pick-up truck. The camera zooms in and we can see that Cody Deaner was driving the truck! Angle starts running towards the truck but Deaner drives away. Angle asks for EMTs to come to the aid of Hernandez....

-We go to a pre-taped edition of "Trash Talk with ODB". ODB's guests are TNA World Tag Team Champions, The British Invasion. ODB asks the obvious question: is there any problem within the British Invasion? Doug Williams answers by saying that since they're gentlemen, they've worked things out peacefully and things are back to normal. ODB says she's kinda bummed out. She says that to be honest, she finds them bland and boring, but when she saw Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus going at it on Impact Monday night, she saw sparks fly and quite frankly, she wishes she would see a good old fashioned brawl between the two of them. Brutus Magnus responds by saying that he knows she's trying to cause trouble between them but that won't happen. But, for ODB's curiosity, Magnus says that he would win a fight, hands down, since he's been on Gladiator and all. Williams stands up and asks Magnus to say that to his face again. Fortunately for them, Rob Terry comes on the set and stands between Magnus and Williams. Terry asks for the segment to be over and shoves the camera away.

-Lauren is in the back with Matt Morgan. She points out that once again, Sting and Ric Flair were watching Matt Morgan's match, just like last week. Morgan says that he wouldn't be surprised if Sting and Flair would've put Mick Foley up to book this match. Sting and Ric Flair walk through the interview area. Sting says that he doesn't understand why Morgan is accusing him and Flair. Sting has always respected Matt Morgan but now, he's not so sure that he respects him after all. Flair adds that Morgan is the perfect example of what's wrong with today's generation of wrestlers; they are so insecure, thinking that veterans like Sting and Ric Flair are only there to cling on to their spots. Sting finishes by saying that maybe Scott Steiner isn't wrong after all; maybe the Main Event Mafia isn't dead. They walk out, leaving both Morgan and Lauren puzzled.

-"The Boss" Bobby Lashley beat TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red (w/Don West) in a non-title match with the running powerslam.

-D'Angelo Dinero beat Robert Roode with the DDE. Roode showed up with bandages around his forehead and Dinero worked on his head all match long.

-Lauren is in the back with Jeff Jarrett. Lauren asks Jarrett if he agrees with Matt Morgan about some sort of alliance between Mick Foley, Sting and Ric Flair. Jarrett says that he's known Sting and Ric Flair for years and despite his differences with them, he doesn't think that they're all in cahoots with each other. He says that if Morgan wants to pick a fight with Sting & Flair, that's his choice. Jarrett says that all this was Mick Foley's doing. Jarrett believes that Foley's not sane enough to run the promotion because of his paranoia over Hulk Hogan. He says that maybe he doesn't have a say in TNA's business decision anymore but TNA is still the most important thing in his career and he won't let Mick Foley destroy it over craze and obsession.

-We now go to Mike Tenay's interview with AJ Styles' friend. Shockingly, the friend turns out to be Samoa Joe. Mike Tenay asks why would Samoa Joe now decide to step up to defend AJ after turning his back on him and joining the Main Event Mafia over the summer. Joe says that joining the Mafia was a business move, advised to him by his mentor Taz. All Joe did was for the best of his Nation of Violence. The 3 Degrees of Pain Match at Final Resolution between Jesse Neal and AJ Styles made him realize that things didn't have to be this way between him and AJ. They didn't like each other but they still respect each other, because of what they've been through during their career. Joe says that he doesn't need 3 Degrees of Pain to hurt Jesse Neal. He only needs one: submission. He challenges Jesse Neal to a match at Genesis.

-In the main event, "The Monster" Abyss beat "The Notorious 187" Homicide with the Black Hole Slam. After the match, Mick Foley appears on the video wall and congratulates him for his victory tonight. Foley says that he wants to reward Abyss for his good work and to give him a big match next Monday night on Xplosion: Foley announces that Abyss will go one-on-one with....Jeff Jarrett!

Show fades to black.

PREVIEW FOR XPLOSION 1/11/10 (From Mansfield, Ohio): Championship Night on Xplosion

-The season premiere of Xplosion this Monday could mean 2 belts for 3D. Brother Ray and Brother Devon will have two huge opportunities to get singles gold this coming Monday in Mansfield, Ohio as part of our Double Feature Main Event. Brother Devon will go one-on-one with "The War Machine" Rhino in a TNA World Heavyweight Championship match while Brother Ray will get a crack at Eric Young's TNA Global Championship in the main event of the evening. The leader of the World Elite is said to be irate over the situation as he clearly stated that he would never defend the title on American soil against an American wrestler and claims he was forced to do it under threat of losing his job. Eric Young hasn't specified who "threatened" him but he has requested some time to air his grievances and will do so on "Trash Talk with ODB"

-Speaking of ODB, the TNA Knockouts Champion will have a very busy night ahead of her because she will be defending her championship against Tara, TNA Knockout Champion Sarita and Beautiful People members Lacey Von Erich and Madison Rayne in a 5-Way Dance. Furthermore, this match has now become a Lumberjill Match. Yeop, the rest of the TNA Knockouts will surround the ring, making sure everything will remain a clear match!

-Both Matt Morgan and Jeff Jarrett are having issues to deal with of their own; after facing each other, they now face separate problems to handle. Morgan now has to deal with Sting and Ric Flair after allegedly accusing them of stealing roster spots while Jeff Jarrett is now entering battle with Mick Foley over Foley's paranoia with Hulk Hogan. Foley wasted no time in taking the first shot as Jarrett will have to contend with "The Monster" Abyss while Matt Morgan will square off with "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal

Results for TNA Xplosion January 11th, 2010 (Mansfield, Ohio)

-Pyros go off and Mike Tenay and Taz welcome us to the season premiere of Xplosion. Tenay hypes both title matches for Team 3D as well as Dixie Carter's interview that is coming momentarily

-"Cowboy" James Storm (w/Robert Roode) beat "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels.

-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino beat Brother Devon with The Gore to retain his championship

-Now comes the time for Dixie Carter's exclusive interview with Mike Tenay. Tenay first asks how the business partnership with Hulk Hogan came about. She says that it has been going on for a while and after Hogan said on different media interviews that he was interested in working with TNA, she started making some calls. The negotiations went on for about 4 months and the announcement was made in New York City last October. Tenay asks Dixie to what extend Hulk Hogan truly has any say on what's going on. Dixie says that Hogan and she are partners and no decisions are taken without the other's consent. They both want what's best for TNA and they can't afford to do the same mistakes WCW did leading to its demise. Tenay then asks about Mick Foley's paranoia about losing power over Hogan. Dixie seems a little irritated but she says that although Foley is an executive shareholder of the company, he doesn't hold all the cards and cannot do what he did last week, firing people without her authorization. She took the liberty to book a 6-Men Tag Match between The British Invasion vs The Motor City Machine Guns & Tomko. If the Guns & Tomko win, the Guns are back on the TNA roster, whether Foley likes it or not.. She says that if Foley wants to see mayhem, then mayhem he's gonna get: she announces that Impact this Thursday in Granada Hills, California will take place under a concept she calls "Gang Warfare", with the card consisting mostly of multi-men tag team matches. She ends the interview by saying that she didn't wanna do things this way but Foley didn't really give her any choice and if TNA talent aren't happy with what's coming up, it's all on Foley. Tenay wants to know where does Jeff Jarrett fits in. Dixie quickly answers that Jarrett is now under talent contract exclusively and he's a regular member of the roster.

-Lauren talks in the back with D'Angelo Dinero, asking him about the events from last week, joining forces with Scott Steiner. Dinero says that Steiner isn't a delusional man; he just needed someone sharing the same vision than him. The Mafia was an obsolete concept but The Pope can bring Steiner down the right path to success again. Out comes Raven, mocking Dinero. Raven says that Dinero doesn't even have a clue what the hell he's talking about. Raven says that walking around in bizarre outfits doesn't just make you a tortured visionary soul; unless he has walked a mile into Raven's shoes, he shouldn't even talk about obsolete concepts and cults. Dinero puts Raven on the spot, asking him if he's so great, then why all of his cult members eventually turned against him. Raven says that they didn't turn on him, they rather failed him. Dinero responds by saying that Raven is a fraud and he'll expose him. Raven challenges Dinero to a Monster's Ball Match this Thursday. Dinero accepts and both men walk away

-We go to a pre-taped edition of Trash Talk with ODB, with her guest TNA Global Champion Eric Young. ODB doesn't even have time to finish her first sentence that Eric Young starts on his rant. Young says that Dixie Carter has no right to overstep Young's leadership in the World Elite; he created the Global Championship so TNA must play by his rules. He says that the World Elite should not be stuck in the tug of war between Dixie Carter and Mick Foley but if this is how it's got to be, than the World Elite will takeover TNA, one step at a time. He guarantees to retain the Global Championship later tonight.

-In the back, we see Samoa Joe arriving to the building and asking Jeremy Borash where's Jesse Neal. JB says that Jesse Neal isn't here tonight but is scheduled to appear on Impact this Thursday. JB asks if there is anything that he can tell Neal for Joe if they don't meet Thursday night. Joe slaps the Kokina Clutch and chokes out JB. Joe tells JB to not forget to send the message to Neal and leaves the building

-"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal beat "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan by disqualification after Morgan refused to let go of a Figure Four Leglock. Officials stepped in to break the hold. Morgan took the mic and called out Ric Flair & Sting. Tenay said in the broadcast booth that Sting & Ric Flair are scheduled to answer Morgan & Lashley this Thursday on Impact

-The Motor City Machine Guns & Tomko defeated The British Invasion, allowing the Guns to have their job back. Once again, Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams came to blows after Magnus accidentally tripped Williams. Rob Terry and Eric Young were able to break up the skirmish.

-In a Lumberjill Match for the TNA Knockout Championship, Lacey Von Erich defeated Tara, ODB, Knockout Tag Team Champion Sarita and Madison Rayne to win the title. Madison Rayne had the pin on Tara but Lacey Von Erich used The Beautiful People's trademark hairspray can to blind Rayne and cover Tara instead. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky (who both were Lumberjills) looked horrified as Lacey celebrated her victory, to the disgust of all the other Knockouts

-Jeff Jarrett beat "The Monster" Abyss following interference from The British Invasion. Postmatch, The Brits kept beating down Abyss under the guidance of Eric Young and Kevin Nash, until Jeff Jarrett chased them all away with his guitar.

-Before the main event, Mike Tenay announces that AJ Styles will return next week and that Hernandez also will return. In fact, he wants to let some steam out following the hit-and-run attack from Cody Deaner last Thursday. Taz specifies that Hernandez will compete against doctor's orders but he will take part in the Monster's Ball Match on Impact.

-In the main event, Brother Ray beat TNA Global Champion Eric Young by disqualification after Young blatantly hit referee Earl Hebner with a chair. The rest of the World Elite charged the ring to beat up Brother Ray. Brother Devon ran in for the failed save as the strength-in-numbers were too great. Then, out of nowhere, Christopher Daniels, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle and AJ Styles ran in to make the save. Mick Foley takes the mic and says that he might not be the most popular member of the TNA roster but he can agree with everyone in the ring that The World Elite needs to go for good and next week, Dixie Carter will indeed get mayhem and World Elite's blood will be on her and Hogan's hands!

Preview for Impact, 1/14 (from Granada Hills, California): Gang Warfare!

In an exclusive interview with Mike Tenay last Monday on Xplosion, Dixie Carter laid down the law, claiming that she and Hulk Hogan are running TNA's ship, not Mick Foley. Mick Foley didn't take too kindly to be pushed aside to The Hulkster's profit in the last few months. However, in a cruel and ironic twist of fate, Foley decided to jump into Dixie's game as Foley led a little rebellion of TNA all-stars against the World Elite. Eric Young and the World Elite's feathers were ruffled after Dixie's decision to force Eric Young to defend his Global Championship on American soil. It now seems like the World Elite are now right in the middle of TNA's power struggle between Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan and Mick Foley. In fact, The World Elite will headline Gang Warfare this Thursday as they'll be involved in the two major matches of the night. While Eric Young and Kevin Nash will lead Kiyoshi, Homicide and Sheik Abdul Bashir against Mick Foley, Christopher Daniels, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles and a partner yet to be named, the British Invasion will try to regroup and set their differences aside as they will take on a team with a lot of history of bad blood: Jeff Jarrett, Ric Flair and Sting! Furthermore, it seems like Hulk Hogan will lead by example as he's scheduled to compete in Gang Warfare as he'll team with The Motor City Machine Guns against the team of Jesse Neal, Desmond Wolfe and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino!

-Speaking of Sting and Flair, they will also speak up about Matt Morgan & Bobby Lashley's recent actions. Flair and Sting claim to prove that they were right all along when they talked about the young talent's lack of respect...

-Another man who will return in action other than "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles will be SuperMex himself, Hernandez. Hernandez was the innocent victim of a hit-and-run by Cody Deaner last week on Impact, as Deaner obviously was targeting Kurt Angle instead. Hernandez has signed the release allowing him to compete against TNA medical staff's advise and it's not a little scuffle that awaits him: Hernandez has thrown himself into the Monster's Ball Match between D'Angelo Dinero and Raven. This will be the main event for Impact: Gang Warfare

-We have a new TNA Knockout Champion and it's probably the least popular Knockout in the locker room. Lacey Von Erich used all the dirty tricks taught to her by her fellow Beautiful People members to capture the title after blinding Madison Rayne. Perhaps the most offended Knockout of all has to be the former champion ODB, who lost her title without even being pinned, although she did suffer the wrath of the infamous hairspray can. The good news for ODB, is that she has invoked her rematch clause and this is nothing that will please the new champion: the match has been ordered to be a no DQ, no countout Submission Match. ODB says that she will not only make Lacey submit but also quit TNA altogether.

-TNA Knockouts will be busy because 2 other Knockout matches are scheduled to take place. First, Daffney will go one-on-one with Angelina Love. Then, a special treat for all women's wrestling fans as SHIMMER champion Sara Del Ray, MsChif and the returning Roxxi will compete in a 6-Knockout Gang Warfare Elimination Tag Match against Tara & The Beautiful People

Results for TNA Impact 1/14 (from Granada Hills, CA)

-The show starts with the World Elite in the ring. Eric Young starts about how the World Elite has been a major player in TNA in the last couple of months and that he won't let the war between Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan prevent them from taking over TNA. Doug Williams politely asks Eric Young to talk. Williams says that he knows the dissension between he and Brutus Magnus in the last couple of weeks have caused trouble for the group but he promised that this will never happen because he hired somebody that will help the cause. Out comes "the Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, dressed with the colors of The British Invasion. Brutus Magnus is upset that he and Rob Terry weren't consulted about hiring Jimmy Hart as their manager. Doug Williams says that's because Jimmy Hart will not manage The British Invasion. Jimmy Hart will only manage Doug Williams! Hart and Williams shake hands and the World Elite leave the ring, sans Magnus and Terry, who are confused.

-Mike Tenay and Taz are at ringside, hyping Gang Warfare for tonight's show. Tenay and Taz are discussing who will be Team Foley's mystery partner.

-Daffney beat Angelina Love. Love was alone at ringside as Taz explained that he heard Lacey Von Erich wanted Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne to focus on Lacey's first title defense later tonight. Love was seemingly upset at the end result, wondering where were Sky and Rayne...

-In the back, we now know why Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne didn't show up: they're fighting in the Knockouts' dressing room with TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita & Taylor Wilde. Sarita & Taylor Wilde end up with the upper hand and Mike Tenay wonders how this will affect The Beautiful People & Tara's chances later tonight against Sara Del Rey, MsChif & Roxxi in the Knockout Gang Warfare Match.

-Ric Flair & Sting come to the ring to a great oop from the crowd. Sting takes the mic and says that Bobby Lashley and Matt Morgan have proven in the past few weeks that they have no respect for anybody. Flair adds that back in his young days, up-and-comers paid their dues and did everything the right way to earn the veterans' respect. Sting say that if what they wanted was a chance to face off with Sting & Flair, they now got it as Hogan made official Sting & Flair vs Lashley & Morgan at Genesis. They hope that by the end of this match, Lashley and Morgan will be respectful towards the veterans. That brings in Morgan and Lashley, to Pearl Harbor Sting and Flair. Morgan goes outside the ring and pulls a ladder from under the apron. He places the ladder in the corner and Lashley spears Sting right on the ladder. Then, Morgan press slams Flair on the ladder. That brings out The British Invasion, as they're getting ready for the first Warfare Match. They're about to start the match early but Jeff Jarrett makes the save, guitar in hands. Referee Slick Johnson comes to the ring and asks for the match to start immediately!

-The British Invasion (w/Jimmy Hart) beat Jeff Jarrett, Ric Flair & Sting in a Gang Warfare Match after Doug Williams pinned Flair. Bobby Lashley and Matt Morgan were at ringside for the duration of the match. After the match, Lashley and Matt Morgan were about to jump in the ring to continue what they started earlier tonight with Flair & Sting but Lethal Consequences jumped Lashley and Morgan, prematurely starting their match early.

-Lethal Consequences beat Bobby Lashley & Matt Morgan by disqualification after Morgan shoved the referee. Ric Flair and Sting stormed the ring and a big brawl ensued, as security tried to keep all 4 men apart. TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino seized the opportunity to sneak in the ring and Gored Consequences Creed before being sent back to the locker room by referees

-Jesse Neal, Desmond Wolfe & Rhino defeated Hulk Hogan & The Motor City Machine Guns in a Gang Warfare Match after Desmond Wolfe pinned Chris Sabin with the Tower of London.

-In a No DQ, No Countout Submission Match for the TNA Knockouts Championship, ODB beat Lacey Von Erich to regain her title. At the end of the match, ODB put Lacey in a Boston Crab and Lacey begged The Beautiful People to come help her. Angelina Love came out and stood at ringside, doing nothing and forcing Lacey to tap out. After the match, Angelina Love said that all Lacey did was cause trouble and her presence in The Beautiful People was no longer needed. Angelina Love told Lacey that if she can find herself some partners, at Genesis, The Beautiful People and Tara will proceed to Lacey's Extreme Makeover.

-The World Elite, consisting of Eric Young, Kevin Nash, Homicide, Sheik Abdul Bashir & Kiyoshi came to the ring for their Gang Warfare Match. Christopher Daniels and Mick Foley came out first, followed by Kurt Angle and AJ Styles. As everyone stood in the ring, pyros exploded and "The Monster" Abyss made his appearance in the building, revealing himself as the 5th member of Team Foley.

-The World Elite defeated Christopher Daniels, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles & Abyss in a Gang Warfare Match. During the match, Cody Deaner charged the ring to attack Kurt Angle and both men left the ringside area. Later in the match, same thing happened with the Guns attacking Daniels & Foley, leaving only AJ Styles and Abyss to fend off the World Elite. Nash ended up getting the win for his team after a Jacknife Powerbomb on AJ Styles

-In the back, The Beautiful People and Tara were preparing for their Warfare Elimination Tag Match. Tara made sure to explain that she was teaming with Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne because that's Hogan & Dixie's decision for Genesis. If TBP fail to work well with her, all bets are off and they'll have to find somebody else for Genesis.

-SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey, MsChif & Roxxi beat Tara & The Beautiful People in a Knockout Warfare Elimination Tag Team Match. MsChif was the sole survivor for her team, last eliminating Velvet Sky.

Before the main event, Mike Tenay announce Rhino vs Consequences Creed for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Genesis as well as Tara & The Beautiful People vs TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita & Taylor Wilde, Lacey Von Erich & Daffney

-Hernandez defeated "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero and Raven in a Monster's Ball Match after sending Raven through a table with a Border Toss.

Rhino Vs Creed for TNA world title, Nice spin on things man.

Elite Def, Team Foley was great too.

Not big on Deaner in TNA though. Get rid of him

Preview for Xplosion , 1/18(from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City): An Outsiders Reunion?

TNAWrestling.com broke the news shortly after Impact that Scott Hall will return to TNA this week on Xplosion after a long absence from the company. Many are assuming that Scott Hall wishes to raise hell one more time with his fellow Outsider tag team partner, Kevin Nash, but we know that Kevin Nash has played a mentorship role within The World Elite for the last couple of weeks. Nash's history has proven that Big Sexy will always choose what will be best for him, so we have to wonder exactly where does Nash's loyalty stands if he finds himself confronted to choose between an Outsiders reunion or taking The World Elite on top of TNA...

-Things are getting really hot as battle lines have been drawn for Genesis which is only 6 days away from Monday night. TNAWrestling.com officially announced that Mick Foley & Christopher Daniels will take on The Motor City Machine Guns at Genesis while Matt Morgan & Bobby Lashley will square off with Sting & "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. In the meantime, Foley & Daniels will take on Bobby Lashley & Matt Morgan in a blockbuster tag team match.

-The main event for this week's Xplosion will be extremely interesting. Consequences Creed will receive the opportunity of a lifetime as he'll go one-on-one with Rhino for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Genesis. However, Hulk Hogan & Dixie Carter still want to know if Creed has what it takes to hang around with TNA's top stars. That's why they've decided to book a tag team match featuring Kurt Angle teaming with Consequences Creed to take on the dream tag team of "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe & Sting! This is one match you don't wanna miss!

-One championship will be defended this Monday on Xplosion as The Amazing Red will put the X-Division Championship on the line against Suicide!

Here's a partial card for this Monday on Xplosion:

MAIN EVENT
Kurt Angle & Consequences Creed vs Samoa Joe & Sting

Mick Foley & Christopher Daniels vs Bobby Lashley & Matt Morgan

TNA X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
The Amazing Red (w/Don West) vs Suicide

6-KNOCKOUT TAG TEAM MATCH
Traci Brooks, Roxxi & Hamada vs TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita & Taylor Wilde & SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey

Doug Williams (w/Jimmy Hart) vs Cody Deaner

Next TNA show will be Impact on 1/21 from Austin, TX

Edit: Don't worry, Deaner's days are numbered in my TNA. I've already found the way to get rid of him but you're gonna have to wait for a very short time...

Results for Xplosion, 1/18 (Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, NY)

-The show starts with Scott Hall and 6-Pac entering backstage and hanging out. They notice an argument between Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus and they decide to pay them a visit. Hall and Pac taunt the TNA World Tag Team Champions and Doug Williams' manager, Jimmy Hart, tries to restrain Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams. Brutus Magnus shoves Jimmy Hart on the floor and gets in the face of Scott Hall. Doug Williams gets in the face of Brutus Magnus and starts arguing with him. Scott Hall takes a cheap shot on Magnus and 6-Pac starts hammering on Doug Williams. Security quickly intervenes and chases Hall and Pac away from the scene. The Wolfpack seems to be enjoying themselves...

-In the arena, Mike Tenay and Taz welcomes us to the show. They hype the big main event between Angle/Creed vs Joe/Sting for later tonight.

-TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red (w/Don West) beat Suicide to retain the championship

-In the back, Jeremy Borash interviews Sara Del Ray. JB makes official that Sara Del Ray will be defending her SHIMMER championship against Ayako Hamada at Genesis. Sara says that she's honoured to defend her championship this Sunday against such a great wrester like Ayako Hamada but she's also here to prove that she's the most dominant female wrestler in the world, period. She hopes to prove it later tonight to Hamada, Roxxi and Traci Brooks in a 6-Knockout Tag Match.

-In the parking lot, we see a black limo pulling out.Lauren is standing there along with Raven. The driver opens the door to reveal none other than Terri Runnels. Lauren asks Terri what is she doing here. Terri answers that she's here for business and she wants to meet Raven. Raven refers to Terri as "Alexandra" (like Alexandra York, Terri's former alias in WCW). Raven says that despite his unorthodox looks, he still is the most brilliant yet tortured soul in pro wrestling. He might not embrace his rich kid heritage but that doesn't mean that he cannot take full advantage of it here in TNA. His connections with Alexandra will allow him to regain his place atop of TNA and soon recapture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Raven leaves with Alexandra York in the limo.

-Doug Williams (w/Jimmy Hart) fight Cody Deaner to a double DQ after both guys take their frustrations on the referee. Things get out of hand as Cody Deaner tries to take out Williams with a wrench. In the back, we see Brutus Magnus preventing Rob Terry from interfering. Kurt Angle runs in with a chair to chase Cody Deaner, who flees through the crowd. Angle soon follows Deaner. Doug Williams seems very upset about the absence of his fellow Brits.

-Scott Hall and 6-Pac make their entrance to a deafening ovation from the fans. After some survey with the fans, Scott Hall says it's good to be back. He was looking forward to this day because that meant that he, 6-Pac and Kevin Nash would be back together and raise some hell, just like the good old days. Pac says it's time for the Wolfpack to reunite. Kevin Nash comes out to a great ovation too. Nash embraces both Hall and Pac. Nash says he's also happy to see his "brothers from different mothers" back in TNA. However, he admits that what he saw at the opening of the show made him uncomfortable. Nash says that he doesn't mind Hall and Pac raising hell, but he doesn't like to see them doing it to the expense of his associates. Scott Hall asks why Nash is wasting time with the World Elite rather than hang out with him and Pac. Nash answers that times have changed and it's not only about the fun like it was with the Kliq or the NWO. It's about giving back to the younger guys. Nash says he sees a lot of himself in Eric Young and he wants to help him reach the next level. Hall asks Nash to give him one reason why he shouldn't slap the taste out of his mouth. Nash retaliates by saying because Hall is about to get his first match back in TNA in over 5 years right now. Nash says that he spoke to Hogan and Dixie about what happened earlier tonight and they booked Scott Hall against Brutus Magnus. If Hall wins, he gets an official TNA contract and he'll do whatever he wants. Then, Nash might consider an Outsiders reunion. Nash finishes by saying that Dixie says 6-Pac to hit the bricks since he's banned from ringside.

-Scott Hall beat Brutus Magnus to earn his TNA contract. Doug Williams appears on the video wall and tells Magnus that he's sick and tired of Magnus acting like he's bigger than the British Invasion or the World Elite. Since they don't have any contenders lined up for Genesis, Williams suggests Magnus to settle their score one-on-one at Genesis, in hopes to make the team stronger for the future. Magnus accepts but warns Williams that this won't be pretty and Williams should be prepared for the possible definitive end of the British Invasion.

-Traci, Roxxi & Ayako Hamada fight TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita, Taylor Wilde & SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Ray to a no-contest following interference from Tara & The Beautiful People. Daffney and Lacey Von Erich ran in to equalize things. All hell break loose as security and referees are attempting to contain the melee...

-In the back, Lauren asks Eric Young if he's concerned about what went down with the British Invasion and Scott Hall's comments about his group earlier. Young says he's glad to see Kevin Nash where his loyalty stands. But he admits that a group is only as strong as its leader and he needs to lead by example. Young announces that he lifts his ban on American wrestlers getting a shot at his Global Championship. Young challenges Samoa Joe to fight him this Thursday on Impact. Young says that after he beats Joe, there will be no doubt in the mind of Scott Hall or anybody else that the World Elite is the superior entity in TNA.

-Mick Foley & Christopher Daniels fight Bobby Lashley & Matt Morgan to a time-limit draw. The Motor City Machine Guns were sitting at ringside for commentary. After the match, the Guns are confronted by Christopher Daniels, who slapped the headsets off Alex Shelley's head. Chris Sabin jumps over the announce table and starts pounding on Christopher Daniels while Mick Foley joins in the fight. Alex Shelley grabs a barbwire bat from under the ring and Foley & Daniels take a hike in the back.

-Samoa Joe & Sting beat Kurt Angle & Consequences Creed after interference from Rhino. After the match, Jesse Neal runs-in and assaults Samoa Joe. Rhino holds up Samoa Joe for Neal to hit him with the TNA title belt but Joe dodges and Rhino gets hit by the belt. Consequences Creed climbs on the top rope and dropkicks Rhino from behind. Joe and Neal brawl in the ring while Creed and Rhino brawl outside. Angle watches the scene from the ramp when Cody Deaner lays him out with his wrench. Camera go to the back as Ric Flair is laying down in the locker room area as Matt Morgan and Bobby Lashley stomp him. Show ends with Hulk Hogan sitting in his office, looking at everything, shaking his head in disbelief.

Preview for Impact 1/21 (Austin, TX): Last stop before Genesis

-It was perhaps the most chaotic night in TNA since Hulk Hogan's arrival in the promotion. No clear winner could be determined in almost every match as all hell broke loose and security as well as TNA ofificials had their hands full all night long. Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter had enough of it and decided to take matter into their own hands, declaring immediate sanctions to be taken on defying wrestlers if the situation repeats itself. Hogan also decided to step up to the plate himself as he'll be in action in a dream tag main event on Impact as Hogan will team up with Sting to take on Mick Foley and Christopher Daniels!

-It was a very tough night for the British Invasion as the TNA World Tag Team Champions seemingly are disintegrating, without anything that Jimmy Hart or World Elite leader Eric Young can do about it. Doug Williams will indeed face off with Brutus Magnus at Genesis but Jimmy Hart, in an ultimate attempt to rally his troops, ask The British Invasion to coexist for one last time before the PPV. They accepted and The British Invasion will take on Team 3D & "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal in a 6-men elimination tag match. In the meantime, Samoa Joe accepted Eric Young's challenge and will face Eric Young for the Global Championship.

-Another huge match taking place on Impac this Thursday will pit "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Kurt Angle inside the 6 Sides of Steel. This match is not only to make sure that nobody will interfere but Hulk Hogan confirmed that the winner will receive a shot at the World Heavyweight Champion after Genesis. Can Kurt Angle keep his mind off Cody Deaner's recent attacks long enough to secure the #1 contender's spot?

-An unusual alliance took form on Xplosion as Raven joined forces with Alexandra York in ordre to help Raven regain main event status in the TNA picture. Raven hopes that Alexandra York's connections in the business will make things easier for Raven. Raven's first task: defeat "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair!

-Rhino seems to be ready for his showdown with Consequences Creed this Sunday at Genesis but he didn't appreciate Jesse Neal's bravado at the end of Xplosion Monday night. Rhino requested a tag match to teach the young Neal a lesson, prior to his showdown with Samoa Joe at Genesis. Rhino will team up with Kevin Nash while Jesse Neal will have X-Division Champion The Amazing Red in his corner.

Here's the partial card for Impact:

MAIN EVENT
Mick Foley & Christopher Daniels vs Sting & Hulk Hogan

6 SIDES OF STEEL
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle

TNA GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP

This BTB is so Awesome, Have not completely read Xplosion though yet Just thought I would say how it sucks that Hall earned his contract xP

Cannot wait for 6 sides of Steel btw.

Thanks. The funniest part in all of this is that most of the time, I tend to go towards a certain direction for an angle but then, I change my mind because I think I have a better idea so I scramble to make things work. That's why sometimes my booking can seem a little random but my booking philosophy has always been "diversity makes quality and draws viewers in quantity".

I'm gonna post the final Impact and even perhaps the Genesis PPV tomorrow night!

Results for Impact 1/21 (From Austin, TX)

-The British Invasion defeated Team 3D & "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal in a 6-Men Elimination Tag Match. Doug Williams got himself counted out on purpose, leaving his team to an immediate 2-on-3 disadvantage. Rob Terry & Brutus Magnus were able to rally to get the win. During the match, cameras moved to the crowd as Rob Van Dam took a ringside seat. Team 3D hugged RVD after their match.

-JB rushed to the ringside area and went to talk to RVD. RVD says that he was invited by TNA management to enjoy and entertain the possibility of joining TNA. RVD is interrupted by Scott Hall & 6-Pac, who come down the ramp. 6-Pac says he never understood what the buzz was all about with RVD. Pac says that RVD's ass is full of grass and he's gonna smoke him when he'll get the chance. Van Dam simply responds "Whatever". Pac gets pissed and says that since Scott Hall already earned his contract on Monday night, it's his turn to earn his TNA contract as well. Pac challenges RVD to a match later tonight. RVD gladly accepts and he'll show 6-Pac why he's the Whole F'N Show.

-In the back, Lauren is standing by with the World Elite. Sheik Abdul Bashir says that he's outraged that the attention's shifted to guys like Scott Hall and 6-Pac when clearly the World Elite is the strongest entity in TNA. He accuses TNA management of favoritism towards certain wrestlers as the World Elite feels TNA gives preferential treatment to American wrestlers. Bashir says the World Elite will send an open challenge to anybody on the TNA roster to face one of their members tonight. Kiyoshi is designated to represent the World Elite in this match.

-Raven (w/Alexandra York) defeated Ric Flair by DQ after referee Slick Johnson is "shoved" by Flair. Postmatch, Alexandra York is seen slipping a 100$ bill in Slick Johnson's back pocket.

-Back from the break, Kiyoshi is in the ring and Sheik Abdul Bashir asks for anybody to answer their challenge. Alex Shelley decides to answer the challenge.

-Kiyoshi beat Alex Shelley by reverse decision from referee Rudy Charles. Originally, Alex Shelley won the match after interference from Chris Sabin, who came to the ring, to prevent Sheik Abdul Bashir to interfere after the referee got accidentally knocked out but TNA Executive Shareholder Mick Foley came out, along with Christopher Daniels, and pointed out to Rudy Charles that Bashir never actually touched Alex Shelley so therefore, since Sabin physically intervened in the match. he reverses the decision and awards the match to Kiyoshi. Shelley & Sabin wants to assault Foley & Daniels but Foley has the Guns thrown out of the building.

-6-Pac beat Rob Van Dam to earn a TNA contract. Scott Hall assaulted RVD before he even made it to the ring. Hall completely destroyed Van Dam with a chair before sending him in the ring to make the match official. 6-Pac got the easy victory afterwards.

-Kurt Angle defeated "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles in the 6 Sides of Steel by making Styles tap out to the Ankle Lock. Angle also earns an ulterior TNA World Heavyweight Championship match in the future. Postmatch, Kurt Angle shook hands with AJ Styles as the fans chanted "Match of the Year!"

-JB is in the back with TNA Knockout Champion, ODB. JB asks ODB if she's upset that she won't be wrestling at Genesis. ODB says that if this means she gets to watch 8 Knockouts beat the crap out of each other and that she can enjoy a few drinks in the process, she doesn't mind at all. She says that she'll maybe join in the fun if she feels like it at Genesis.

-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino & Kevin Nash beat Jesse Neal & TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red after Rhino Gored Neal. Rhino sends Neal outside and warns Consequences Creed that he'll end his career at Genesis.

-TNA Global Champion Eric Young beat Samoa Joe to retain his championship. Jesse Neal was still laying on the floor when Joe arrived. Joe grabbed Neal and whipped him in the guardrail, following with his Olé Kick. Samoa Joe was about to end the match on Eric Young with the Muscle Buster when Jesse Neal gingerly climbed on the apron. That distracted Joe long enough to allow the roll-up by Eric Young to get the victory. Postmatch, Joe went after Neal but was held off by referee Rudy Charles. Joe ended giving Charles the Muscle Buster for his troubles, while Jesse Neal escaped.

-Mick Foley & Christopher Daniels beat Sting & Hulk Hogan when Daniels pinned Hogan with the Best Moonsault Ever. During the match, Matt Morgan and Bobby Lashley charged the ring to attack Sting, leaving Hogan all alone to fend for himself. Flair attempted the save but was cut off by Bobby Lashley.

Brutus Magnus says that he doesn't see why they should give a team past their prime a shot at the most prestigious tag team championship in the world. Ray answers that maybe this will change their mind. Team 3D charge the ring and brawl with the British Invasion. Ray asks for the tables and Devon delivers. Team 3D puts both Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus through a table. PPV ends with Team 3D celebrating with the TNA World Tag Team Titles.

Preview for Xplosion 1/25 (From Nashville, TN): En route for Against all Odds

What an amazing PPV Genesis was. Consequences Creed was within an eyelash from capturing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship but it wasn't meant to be as "The War Machine" Rhino successfully retained his championship. But Consequences Creed's performance last night earned him tremendous respect from his peers. Consequences Creed will have a tough challenge this Monday night on Xplosion as he goes one-on-one with one half of Team 3D, Brother Ray.

Speaking of Team 3D, Brother Ray and Brother Devon certainly spoiled The British Invasion's happy ending at Genesis. After reconciling following their fantastic match, Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus were challenged by Team 3D to defend their tag team titles but The Brits wanted no part of it. Team 3D responded by sending both of them through a table, which infuriated World Elite leader and Global champion Eric Young. Young vowed revenge and even agreed to put his Global Championship on the line against Brother Devon on Xplosion.

Sting, Kurt Angle and Chris Sabin certainly had an interesting night at Genesis. While Sting saw his legendary partner snap on Bobby Lashley until Beer Money played peacekeepers, Kurt Angle was victorious against Cody Deaner, avenging Deaner' heinous hit-and-run on Hernandez and Chris Sabin saw his partner Alex Shelley being mutilated by the sadistic Mick Foley. All 3 are heading into Nashville with mixed emotions as they're gonna battle with D'Angelo Dinero & TNA World Tag Team Champions The British Invasion in a 6-Men Elimination Tag Team Match. We shall not forget that Kurt Angle is now in contention to wrestle Rhino for the World Heavyweight Championship in the near future. Perhaps Angle will make an announcement on his championship future this week...

Both Wolfpack members Scott Hall and 6-Pac earned their TNA contract last week, Hall on Xplosion by beating Brutus Magnus and 6-Pac by beating Rob Van Dam in very questionable fashion, big thanks to Scott Hall himself. In any event, RVD hasn't been seen since the incident anf TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett is said to be very upset at the Wolfpack's actions. Dixie Carter has announced that Scott Hall's first official match in TNA will be one-on-one against Jeff Jarrett this week on Xplosion!

-In the main event this week, "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan will wrestle his first singles match ever in TNA as he'll square off with Tomko. What will Tomko do when Hulkamania runs wild on him???

-We should get an update on Christy Hemme after the incidents of last night during the 8-Knockout Tag Team Match. Hemme has been released from the hospital on Monday morning but is scheduled to be in Nashville anyway to make a statement.

Here's a partial card for this week's Xplosion:

-Jeremy Borash is backstage with Abyss. Abyss is a little freaked out by teaming with Raven tonight because of their past issues. JB tells Abyss that with Alexandra York's antics, their opponents should be more worried than him but he suggests him to still be careful and pick his moments to play the hero if he has to. Abyss thanks JB for the advice and leaves.

-Brother Ray beat Consequences Creed

-Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett fight to a no-contest after Dr. Stevie tried to stop the match. Dr. Stevie was trying to play Dr. Phil and patch things up between Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett, reminding him of their past in WCW in the last incarnation of the NWO. Jarrett left the ring in disgust while Scott Hall told Dr. Stevie to mind his own business. Hall struck Dr. Stevie with a right hand and laid him down with the Outsider's Edge. Stevie took the mic after Hall left and told Scott Hall that he guess Scott Hall will be in need of a therapy session in Lancaster, NY on Thursday!

-Mike Tenay and Taz talk about what went down during the Knockout Tag Match at Genesis with ODB and Christy Hemme. They say that Christy is now at home recovering from a concussion, still battling with post-concussion syndrome. Taz acknowledges that certain Knockouts were able to visit her in the hospital before she left. In the back, Lauren is standing by with The Beautiful People, who went to visit Christy at the hospital, and asks for some news. Madison Rayne says that they will address the situation a little bit later on and update TNA fans themselves in the ring.

-Sting, Kurt Angle & Chris Sabin defeated D'Angelo Dinero & TNA World Tag Team Champions The British Invasion in a 6-Men Elimination Tag Team Match, with all 3 members of the team left standing after Sabin pinned Dinero with the Cradle Shock. Postmatch, Dinero took a cheapshot at Chris Sabin and went for a steel chair on Sabin but he was stopped by both Sting & Kurt Angle

-In the ring, all 3 members of the Beautiful People come to address the situation with Christy Hemme. Madison Rayne confirmed that they got to visit Christy at the hospital Monday morning and although she is feeling better, she might be a long way back as she's battling post-concussion syndrome. Rayne admits that despite every mean thing they say or do to somebody every week, they were feeling very bad for Christy and wish them well. Angelina Love takes the mic and adds that somehow, this could've been avoided and she doesn't point fingers at ODB. Love sends us back to special footage from the incident where we see Velvet Sky taunting ODB, right before she elbowed Christy in the head. After the footage, Angelina Love blames Velvet Sky for the whole incident, saying that she should've kept her mouth shut instead of egging ODB. Velvet tries to defend herself sayin' that it's not what they think but Angelina Love wants none of it. Love says that Velvet Sky shall now consider her Beautiful People membership revoked as she's expelled from the group. Angelina Love and Madison Rayne leave while Velvet Sky breaks down in tears in the middle of the ring.

-Roxxi beat Daffney

-Global Champion Eric Young beat Brother Devon to retain his championship. Postmatch, The British Invasion come out to beat down Brother Devon as Brother Ray is apparently locked in his locker room, pounding on the door. Eric Young asks for Rob Terry to hold Brother Devon as Young prepares to hit Devon with the Global Championship. Young swings but Devon ducks and hits Terry instead. Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams start jawjacking with Eric Young, who reminds them that he's the leader of the World Elite and order them to keep beating up on Devon. Instead, the Brits decide to leave. Young then orders Homicide, Kiyoshi and Sheik Abdul Bashir to help him out but as soon as they enter the ring, Brother Ray runs in, chain in hand and chases the World Elite away.

-Raven & Abyss (w/Alexandra York) beat Cody Deaner & Jesse Neal after Neal was paid off by Alexandra York to lay down for Raven. Raven and York left the ring while Abyss stood in the ring confused.

-TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita & Taylor Wilde beat Alissa Flash & MsChif to retain their titles

-Hulk Hogan beat Tomko. Postmatch, Tomko clips Hogan from behind and starts pounding on his surgically repaired knee. As Tomko is about to bash Hogan's knee, Kevin Nash runs in to make the save. Show ends with Tomko and Nash staring at each other.

Preview for Impact 1/28 (From Lancaster, NY): Dissension within the ranks

The aftermath of Genesis left some definite scars in TNA as one entity imploded in front of us while another is on the verge of doing the same thing. The Beautiful People expelled Velvet Sky from their group, blaming her for what happened between ODB and Christy Hemme at Genesis. No comment has been made by both parties but we do know that Velvet Sky is expected to be in Lancaster, NY for Impact this Thursday. Meanwhile, even if Global Champion Eric Young successfully retained his championship against Brother Devon, he might have alienated The British Invasion after accidentally hitting Rob Terry with the Global Championship belt. Furthermore, The British Invasion refused to obey their leader's orders and deserted the ring, leaving Young no other choice than to call out for reinforcements in Homicide, Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi. No damages have been made for Brother Devon but the same cannot be said for The World Elite. Leader Eric Young wants to clear the air this Thursday and requested the presence of every member of the group in the ring with him.

-As a result of a heinous attack by Tomko, Hulk Hogan will not be attending Impact in Lancaster, choosing to nurse his injured knee. Thankfully, Hogan's former stablemate "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash came to his aid, preventing Tomko to make any more harm. Nash won't have the chance to ask for answers from Tomko since Tomko has been asked to stay out of the building. As a matter of fact, Kevin Nash has also been asked to do the same by Hulk Hogan and to focus on his upcoming TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match with Rhino on Monday for the 3-hour Xplosion from San Jose, California. We should have more on this developing situation on Thursday.

-Dr. Stevie tried an impromptu session with former NWO members Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett on Monday night but the whole thing backfired after both men dismissed him. Jeff Jarrett is obviously an angry man ever since Hulk Hogan joined TNA and speculations run rampid that Jarrett might be jealous of Hogan's attention since he joined the company, but complies, not wanting to make any waves. Meanwhile, Scott Hall expressed his disapproval loud and clear as he took care of Dr. Stevie with the Outsider's Edge. Stevie challenged Scott Hall and the challenge has been accepted; the two will meet on Impact.

-Our main event this week will feature two of TNA's pioneers as "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles will square off with "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels in singles competition. This will be AJ Styles' first match since his loss to Kurt Angle inside the 6 Sides of Steel before Genesis. Speaking of Kurt Angle, he'll have a major announcement to make this Thursday.

Here's the partial card for Impact:

MAIN EVENT
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels

Dr. Stevie vs Scott Hall

"Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal

Next TNA live event will be a 3-hour Xplosion on 2/1 from San Jose, CA

Results for Impact 1/28 from Lancaster, NY:

-In the back, Velvet Sky is standing at catering when she's approached by Beer Money. Beer Money taunt her for being expelled from The Beautiful People. James Storm begs her to egg him just to see if she's gonna knock out JB, Lauren or even Dixie Carter. Abyss interrupts Beer Money and tells them to leave Velvet Sky alone or they're gonna have to answer to him. Robert Roode laughs at Abyss saying that he should've listened to JB's advice and not play hero, cause now Beer Money's gonna make him regret it. Abyss proposes a 6-Person Tag Match later tonight as he, his friend and Velvet Sky would face Beer Money and a partner of their choosing. Storm asks who'd be dumb enough to stand besides Abyss. Matt Morgan walks in the picture and asks Storm to repeat what he just said. Beer Money quietly backed away and said that this would end later tonight. Velvet Sky thanks Abyss for standing up for her and leaves.

-Eric Young comes to the ring, but is only accompanied by Kiyoshi and Sheik Abdul Bashir. Young is very angry about how everything turned out last Monday and says that The British Invasion's attitude is unacceptable. Young asks where is Homicide. Bashir answers that Homicide has a match later against D'Angelo Dinero and wants to prepare for it. Young gets even more upset and accuse The British Invasion of mutiny and trying to sabotage the group. Out comes The British Invasion. Brutus Magnus says that Eric Young is to blame for all this. He thinks that Young cares more about being Global champion than the World Elite itself. Magnus asks Young when's the last time he encouraged a WE member to go after another championship. Young says that all that matters is to win the fight for power in TNA and for that, they need to be a cohesive unit. Magnus says that he's afraid they cannot do that as long as Young doesn't acknowledge that The British Invasion are his equal. Young asks Magnus to apologize for leaving him high and dry on Monday but Magnus refuses. Young slaps Magnus in the face. Magnus answers with a right hand and a brawl ensues between the Brits and Young/Kiyoshi/Bashir. Young escapes the ring and checks under the ring, pulling a ladder. Young grabs the ladder but Rob Terry Big Boots the ladder and Young falls under the ladder. The British Invasion leaves while Young is helped out by Kiyoshi and Sheik Abdul Bashir.

-The Motor City Machine Guns come to the ring. Alex Shelley updates his condition after the attack from Mick Foley, saying that he's gonna be fine. They're here for another reason than Mick Foley and that's D'Angelo Dinero's cheap shot on Chris Sabin on Monday night. The Guns call out Dinero to settle this. Dinero comes out alone. Sabin jokes that he's surprised that his new buddy Scott Steiner isn't here to protect him. Dinero says that he and Steiner just helped each other out and there's nothing more to add about it. Shelley's still complaining about the cheapshot on Chris Sabin but he's interrupted by Jeff Jarrett, in street clothes. Jarrett asks Alex Shelley if he's here only to complain or he'll be man enough to do something about it. Jarrett says that this isn't how he envisioned TNA when he created the company with his father Jerry. He says he recruited Shelley & Sabin because of their athletic talent and their charisma, not their juvenile antics. If they want to act like teenagers, they can ask to go to Stamford and he will gladly accept. Jarrett adds that maybe Dinero isn't the most popular guy in the locker room but at least, he hasn't wasted time finding excuses for his shortcomings. Alex Shelley says that he believes that Jeff Jarrett can't handle the fact that Hulk Hogan now holds all the power in TNA with Dixie Carter. Shelley agrees with Jarrett that this isn't probably what he envisioned with the company at this point but quite frankly, he's the only one to blame. Shelley says that if Jarrett would've spent more time giving the spotlight to the X-Division rather than putting himself over constantly, he would still be in charge of the company. Shelley ends his rant by telling Jeff Jarrett to "choke on that, slapnuts". Jarrett clocks Shelley. Sabin wants to defend Shelley but Dinero ambushes Sabin and throws him out of the ring. Jarrett gets out of the ring and pulls his trusted guitar, only to smash it on Shelley's skull. Jarrett leaves Shelley a bloody mess, as he's booed out of Lancaster, NY.

-Beer Money & Awesome Kong beat Matt Morgan, Abyss & Velvet Sky after Kong pinned Velvet Sky with the Implant Buster

-The British Invasion are back in the ring as Jimmy Hart (now apparently the manager for the whole threesome) wants to celebrate the TNA World Tag Team Champions' success. Jimmy says that he had organized for the British Invasion a ceremony to unveil new TNA Tag Team Championship belts. Eric Young interrupts and says that he's not leaving until he gets an apology from The British Invasion for what happened. He says it's bad enough that Homicide apparently deserted the group, he won't let The British Invasion organize a mutiny in the World Elite. Homicide comes out and tells Eric Young that he didn't join the World Elite to please him and to get endoctrinated in his fantasies; he joined because he wanted to make a statement for himself and breakout as a singles star in TNA. Homicide thinks that Eric Young is jealous of The British Invasion's success and is wishing that he would be the only one to have success so he could secure his spot as WE leader. Eric Young says that Homicide talks a big game but hasn't done squat since joining the group. Homicide tells Eric Young to stay ringside and watch him beat D'Angelo Dinero.

-"Pope" D'Angelo Dinero beat Homicide. Postmatch, Eric Young climbs in the ring and gets in the face of Homicide, saying that he was right and Homicide would amount to nothing. Homicide answers with a low blow and a Gringo Killah on Eric Young!

-"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal beat "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner

-Dr. Stevie beat Scott Hall (w/6-Pac). Postmatch, Scott Hall takes the mic and says that maybe the band needs some backup for Monday night....

-Jeremy Borash is standing in the back with an irate Eric Young. The Global Champion says that now, he knows which soldiers to trust in his fight against TNA management. Young challenges Homicide & The British Invasion to a 6-Men Tag Team Elimination Match on Monday's 3-hour Xplosion against himself, Kiyoshi & Sheik Abdul Bashir to settle things once and for all. Young is interrupted by Kurt Angle, who asks him if he's done whining because he has an announcement to make. Angle says that ever since he joined TNA, all he did was thinking about himself and how he could add to his already storied career. He made selfish choices that caused more harm than good and which almost destroyed Dixie Carter's company. He says that this is not what he wanted and he's now at a stage in his career where he believes that he doesn't need a World Heavyweight Championship belt to prove he's the best because he knows he is. Therefore, he went to Dixie Carter and ask her the permission to relinquish his World Heavyweight Championship title shot to AJ Styles for Against All Odds, which Dixie Carter accepted. JB asks Kurt Angle what he will do at Against All Odds then. Kurt Angle says not to worry and an opportunity still can present itself...

-In the main event, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels beat "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles with the Angel's Wings. Daniels celebrated while Styles pounded the mat in frustration

Preview for 2/1 Xplosion (From San Jose, CA): 3-hour special

-It's going to be a jumbo-sized edition of Xplosion as TNA is invading San Jose this Monday night for a 3-hour special. We will be under 2 weeks from Against All Odds and battle lines have been drawn on an explosive Impact.

-The big story coming into San Jose obviously is the implosion of the World Elite. There seems to be 2 factions in the group with leader Eric Young, Kiyoshi and Sheik Abdul Bashir on one side and Homicide & The British Invasion on the other. Global Champion Eric Young tried everything to get respect from his stablemates but only Kiyoshi and Sheik Abdul Bashir appear willing to follow Young's command. The British Invasion & Homicide called out Eric Young on his leadership and it ended up being a complete nightmare for him. We don't know if this 6-Men Elimination Tag Team Match will settle anything but we definitely expect some fireworks with this match.

-Hulk Hogan will return this Monday night and will be competing in the main event. And what a main event this will be. A huge tag team match has been signed as Hulk Hogan has selected TNA X-Division Champion The Amazing Red as his tag team partner. Their opponents? None other than Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe! When asked about the reasons why he chose Red, Hogan answered that Red's embodied why he decided to join TNA and he wants to give the kid a chance to face the best TNA has to offer in order to improve his game. When asked about Tomko's recent actions, Hogan said that he'll leave any retaliation to Kevin Nash. Speaking of Nash, "Big Sexy" will go one-on-one with Rhino for the World Heavyweight Championship!

-AJ Styles received quite a gift from Kurt Angle on Thursday night when Angle gave him his Against All Odds title shot against Rhino for the World Heavyweight Championship. However, Styles didn't follow through with the momentum since he lost a heartbreaker against Christopher Daniels. "The Phenomenal One" will try to rebound from this loss as he'll step into the ring with Chris Sabin in singles action.

-It's been a rough week for Velvet Sky. She was expelled from The Beautiful People on Monday, and she took the fall in a 6-Person Tag Team Match against Awesome Kong & Beer Money. TNA management decided to set up an unusual 6-Knockout Tag Team Match for Xplosion as Velvet Sky will have to team up with the girl that started all her troubles, Knockout Champion ODB and the one who pinned her on Thursday, Awesome Kong! How can this trio successfully coexist???

-We will also see the debut of a new segment on TNA....or rather its return, depending on which side you see it. Yes, indeed, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair decided to resurrect his famous WCW talk show "A Flair for Gold" and bring it to TNA! His first guests? Beer Money!
