 October 18, 2012The show opens with a video recapping everything that happened at Bound for Glory. We go to the Impact Zone, where the Aces & Eights, with Devon, are in the ring. Devon grabs the mic.Devon, “Last Sunday at Bound for Glory, the Aces & Eights gained full access to the Impact Zone. That means that we can hurt anybody at anytime. That means that the entire roster, now has to look over their shoulder at every turn! The Aces & Eights are a force that can’t be stopped.”Just then Bully Ray’s music hits and he comes down to the ring.Bully, “What the hell are you doin’? Right now, it’s taking everything I have not to beat the livin’ hell out of you. But, I want answers. Why Aces & Eights?”Devon, “Why? WHY?!? When my contract was coming to end here at Impact Wrestling, no one made an effort to resign me. I was the Television Champion and yet no one cared that I was about walk out that door. Hogan could have resigned me, but he didn’t. No one cared that Devon was gone, except for the Aces & Eights. They saw that the company had done me wrong and they wanted to help me get back on my feet. They believed in me! They trusted me! They were the ones that dusted me off and showed me the light. When I was released I thought I had done something wrong. I thought that I had screwed up. But these gentlemen showed me the truth. I didn’t do anything wrong, the company did wrong.”Bully, “I said that it’s taking everything in me not to beat your ass, well, I’ve got nothing left in me!”Bully charges Devon, but the Aces & Eights attack Bully Ray as Devon escapes to the backstage area. Bully continues to get pummeled in the ring until Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Sting, Garett Bischoff, and Wes Brisco hit the ring. The Aces & Eights flee the ring as Sting checks on Bully Ray.Backstage we see Magnus walking down a hallway, it looks like he’s on next!Commercial BreakTelevision Championship
Magnus def. Samoa Joe to retain
Magnus was very impressive in his first defense as Television champion. He cleanly defeated Samoa Joe with an elbow drop. |
Commercial BreakWe return to see Tara standing in the ring. Tara, “Ladies and Gentlemen, you saw him at Bound for Glory but now it’s time he got a proper introduction. Please welcome, my Hollywood boyfriend, Jessie Godderz!”
Jessie comes down to the ringJessie, “Thank you, thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen, now please welcome the NEW Knockouts Champion, Tara!”The crowd boos heavily for the power couple as they start to kiss, just then Brooke Hogan comes out on the stage.Brooke, “Congratulations, Tara! You are the new Knockouts champion. And because you are the Knockouts champion, that means that you have to defend the Knockouts championship! I just got done speaking with Miss Tessmacher and she is using her rematch clause next week!”Jessie, “You can’t do that her! Do you know she is?! Do You know who I am?!”Brooke, “No, I don’t. Good luck, next week.”Brooke leaves as Tara and Jessie are nearly crying in the ring.In the parking lot, we see Bobby Roode exiting his car. The cameraman asks him how he’s been doing since Bound for Glory.Roode, “How am I doing? I just lost to James Storm in a fluke victory. I don’t get it. First Aries, now Storm. No one can really beat me. I’m going to prove it tonight. Just watch what I do to James Storm.”RVD def. Joey Ryan
In his first official match in Impact Wrestling, Joey Ryan comes up short against the Whole F’n Show. RVD won the match with a 5 Star Frog Splash. |
” Garett, “I’ve just had enough of you two bragging so much. Just like I figure out when facing my Dad, the ones who brag the most are the ones easiest to beat!”Daniels, “Oh, so Bischoff’s kid thinks he’s tough. You think we are easy to beat?! We just beat Chavo, Hernandez, AJ Styles, and Kurt Angle. We are not easy to beat, we are the World Tag Team Champions of the World!”Garett, “If two aren’t so easy to beat, then why don’t you prove it.”Kazarian, "Sure, we’ll prove it. How do you want this to go down, boy?”Garett, “I say, tonight we have ourselves Garett Bischoff vs. Kazarian!”Kazarian, “I say...”Kazarian and Daniels jump Garett and they start the beat him down, until Wes Brisco ran down and made the save. Daniels and Kazarian leave the ring and continue to taunt Garett and Wes.Commercial BreakGarett Bischoff def. Kazarian
A back-and-forth match that saw Kazarian taunting Garett throughout. Garett ended up catching Kazarian in a Small Package for the win. |
James Storm fought Kurt Angle to a no contest.
It was a fantastic match, that saw Bobby Roode come out and attack James Storm. Roode continued to assault him, until Kurt Angle hit Roode with an Angle Slam. Roode goes to the back, while Angle helps Storm to his feet. |
Miss Tessmacher def. Gail Kim
Tessmacher made quick work of the former Knockouts champion and won with the Tess-Shocker. |
Backstage we see Hulk Hogan walking toward the ring, he is then joined by Sting.Commercial BreakHogan and Sting are in the ring.Hogan, “Aces & Eights, we had a deal. You are supposed to release Joseph Park from your clubhouse and I suggest you do it, right now!”Aces & Eights make their way to the ring with Joseph Park in handcuffs.Devon, “Hulk, we’ve got Joseph right here. But, before we hand him over, you have to do us a favor.”Hulk, “Why should I do you guys any favors?”Devon, “Because there’s nothing stopping us from taking Joseph Park back to our clubhouse and torturing him just for the pleasure.”Hulk, “You say that there’s nothing stopping you, well, you might want to think again.”Just then AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Garett Bischoff, and Wes Brisco make their way onto the stage. And Chavo Guerrero, Hernandez, James Storm, and RVD stand at the Aces & Eights entrance.Hulk Hogan, “I suggest you hand him over.”Bully Ray then, rushes to the ring and starts attacking the Aces & Eights, trying to get to Devon. Devon leaves the ring and escapes through the crowd, while the locker room takes on the Aces & Eights at ringside. The brawling continues as Joseph Park is still handcuffed. Hogan tries to un-handcuff Park, but to no luck. The brawl continues and a member of Aces & Eights starts attacking Park. Park breaks the handcuffs with his strenght and hits a Black Hole Slam on the masked man. The Aces & Eights flee the ring while everyone, including Park, is shocked at what he just did.Backstage we see Austin Aries making his way towards the ring.Commercial BreakAustin Aries makes his entrance with his championship still intact.Aries, “The Greatest Man that Ever Lived is now the Greatest Champion that Ever Lived. Everyone thought that Hardy had me beat, everyone thought that the hero would prevail again. And the hero did!......”Aries raises his title.“.......At Bound for Glory A Double defeated the Alcoholic Enigma to retain my title. And now everyone’s wondering, how bad did I actually beat Hardy? Well, bad enough that he didn’t even show his face tonight. Bad enough that we haven’t seen or heard from him since. Bad enough that he’ll never want to face me again. With the odds stacked against me, I did it. With management wanting me to lose to Hardy, I did it. With Impact Wrestling wanting a role model to be the face of the company, I did it! What I would like now, is for the entire Impact Zone to start a “Congrats Aries” chant! Come on everybody, “Congrats Aries” “Congrats Aries”.”James Storm’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring.Storm, “Aries, you’ve got a big mouth. Actually, Bobby Roode had a big mouth and we all know what happened to him.”James Storm hits Aries with the Last Call superkick. Storm grabs the title and stand over Aries’ body, raising the title high above his head to end the show.Any and all criticism is welcome. Thank you. |

Impact Wrestling: 10/18/12
I noticed you changed up the BFG results a bit. And luckily for me, they were the three results that I had hoped for. I'm a huge fan of Magnus, so I love seeing him as the TV Champion. Though I think maybe it could've been held off a bit longer to give Joe a decent reign. Kaz and Daniels are one of the primary reasons I watch TNA, so them retaining the titles are great. However, I do expect Chavo and Hernandez to take the titles soon. And Austin Aries retaining the World Heavyweight Championship is perfect. But just like Kaz and Daniels, I'm not sure if Aries will be champion for much longer. But I seriously hope he's champion for many, many more months.
Onto Impact Wrestling, good opening segment with Devon explaining to Bully Ray and the rest of the world his reason for aligning himself with Aces and Eights. I'm sure Aces and Eights will be back later, and we'll get another brawl with them and the TNA roster. Solid rematch from Bound For Glory with Magnus defeating Samoa Joe to retain the Television Championship. Makes Joe look a bit weak, though. Especially with him coming off of a dominant showing in the BFG Series. I certainly do hope that 2013 will be the year of Magnus. I really like the Tara and Jessie pairing, especially whenever Jessie comes off as an idiot, which you did a great job with Brooke's one liner at the end. Roode/Storm feud continuing. Eh, considering how brutal the match at BFG was, that should've been it. Not a fan of Joey Ryan losing clean coming off of winning a contract at Bound For Glory. So now we see Morgan. Interesting. #WTTCOTW! Garett and Wes are the next challengers? I guess it makes sense with them being under Angle's guidance and all, though I don't think Chavo and Hernandez should've been swept under the rug. Fun segment with King Mo and the Robbies. I guess we'll have something with the three of them at Turning Point. It's obvious that Robbie E will come out on the losing end, but just like Jessie, I think he's best when he's in the heel doofus role, and he'll certainly look like that against King Mo. Good match between Kurt Angle and James Storm, and I liked Bobby Roode's involvement. If this leads to a Roode/Angle feud, I'd be fine with that. Wonder where Storm goes from here, though. Solid win for Tessmacher to give her the momentum heading into next week's rematch with Tara. As expected, another brawl with Aces and Eights and other roster members. I do wonder where you take the Joseph Park character from here. Finally, a good victory speech from World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries. James Storm as the next challenger is fine with me, but where was Jeff Hardy on this episode? Even if he couldn't appear in person, an interview or something would've been fine. Just looks a bit weird that four days after being in the main event of the biggest PPV of the year, he was nowhere to be seen. Overall, a solid starter show.

 It is being reported that TNA doesn't want to put Jeff Hardy in another main feud, because there is talk that he might not resign with the company when his contract expires in February.
It is being said that Hardy is requesting too much money for the new deal.
TNA is reportedly looking to grow the X-Division, so expect more X-Division wrestlers to get signed in the future. |

October 25, 2012The show opens with a video from the parking lot. We see Jeff Hardy exiting out of his car, as we go to the Impact Zone.Knockouts Championship
Tara def. Miss Tessmacher
Tessmacher used her rematch clause, only to have Jessie be the deciding factor in her effort to win back the title. Tara hit the Widow’s Peak after a distraction from Jessie to retain. |
Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez def. Gunner & Kid Kash
Gunner and Kash tried to make an impact, but ended up falling short. Chavo put Kash away with a Frog Splash for the win. |
Backstage, we see Jeff Hardy walking and it looks like he’s going to the ring.Commercial BreakWe return as Jeff Hardy makes his entrance.Hardy, “At Bound for Glory, I came up short against Austin Aries. My ribs are a little banged up from the match so I took last week off, but the Enigma is back! The lost at Bound for Glory really got to me. This was supposed to be my year of redemption, yet I couldn’t get the final step done. I have been thinking this last week and it hit me. I don’t need the title to signify that my redemption is done. I have proved myself day-in and day-out. I have gone toe-to-toe with the best Impact Wrestling has to offer, in the past few months. I’m clean! I’m sober! And I have never felt better! Do I need the World Heavyweight Championship? No. Do I want the World Heavyweight Championship? Hell yes, I do!”Just then, Magnus’ music hits and he makes his way into the ring.Magnus, “Look at this everybody, Jeff Hardy! The Charismatic Enigma is back! Congratulations Jeff, your redemption is complete, or so you say. Because, we all know it’s only a matter of time before you go back to your old ways. The drinking. The drugs. It’s only a matter of time before you go back down into that downward spiral and this time, you’ll never be able to recover.”Jeff, “Magnus, I don’t know who you think you are, but I know who you are about to be. Someone who got their ass kicked by Jeff Hardy!”Magnus, “That’s cute Jeff, but actually you are just going to fail at beating me just like you failed at beating Austin Aries at Bound for Glory!”Hardy starts attacking Magnus with lefts and rights, but Magnus rolls out of the ring and heads to the back. Hardy gets on the turnbuckle and celebrates.Commercial BreakSamoa Joe def. Bobby Roode
It was a closely contested match throughout. Roode tried taking a shortcut by using a beer bottle, but Kurt Angle ran down and took it out of his hands. The distraction lasted long enough for Joe to lock in the choke on Roode, forcing him to tap out. |
Backstage we see Joey Ryan prepping for his match. Joey, “I don’t care who Al Snow picked for me to face tonight. I know Al’s a softy and I used him to get what I wanted. Al is just as stupid as I thought he was and tonight, the Era of Sleaze officially begins.”We see a video package hyping next week’s Gut Check participant, Raul LaMotta.
We see Roode sitting in the trainer’s room with an ice pack on his neck.Roode, “Last week, I got involved in Angle’s match because of Storm. It had nothing to do with Kurt. But, in typical Kurt Angle fashion, he thought it was all about him. He screwed me tonight! I had Joe beat! Kurt, I didn’t mean to get you angry, but now, you’ve made an enemy out of Bobby Roode.”Commercial BreakKing Mo vs. Joey Ryan never got started
King Mo laid out Joey Ryan with a right hand before the match even started.
|
We go to the ring where James Storm makes his entrance.Storm, “I have got some great news. Because of my win over Bobby Roode at Bound for Glory, Hulk Hogan has officially named me the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Last year, I got screwed out of that title but this year, I’m gonna win it back.”Austin Aries’ music hits and he comes down to the ring.Storm, “I’m sorry, but aren’t you the guy who’s teeth I kicked in last week?”Aries, “Yeah, that’s very funny Storm. You see, you think that just because you beat Bobby Roode that you can beat me. But I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. I, also beat Bobby Roode. I beat him on my first, and second attempt. It took you over a year to finally beat him. Storm, you’re not as great as you think you are. You were carried in AMW. You were carried in Beer Money. And at Turning Point, you will once again be carried. This time, by the EMT’s as you’re stretchered out of the building.”Storm, “You know, Aries. If there’s anything people know about me it’s that I love to drink, and I love to fight. And I can’t think of a better person to fight than you. At Turning Point, I finally get what’s rightfully mine. I have waited too damn long to have my dream just go up in smoke. This entire year has been my fight to get that title. If I don’t win at Turning Point, this entire year has meant nothing. All of my hard work has meant nothing. The time I spent on the road when I could have been at home with my daughter, has meant nothing. Hell, my career has meant nothing if I don’t win the World Heavyweight Championship. And unfortunately for you Aries, you have to defend your title against a pissed off cowboy! I have been with this company since the start. I have seen people come and go. I have seen people who thought they were the next big thing fall away into obscurity! I have seen my friends lose their jobs, because they weren’t going anywhere in their career. At Turning Point, James Storm will finally have closure to this year. I will finally have closure to all of the heartache! I will finally have closure to everything I have sacrificed just to win that title! So Aries, all I have to say to you is, Sorry About Your Damn Luck!”Aries, “Bravo, Storm, bravo. That was a great speech you had there. So much emotion, so much character, so much anger. You said that this year would mean nothing if you don’t win the title at Turning Point. Well then, I guess this entire has meant nothing to you, Storm. And you say that you sacrificed time with daughter to do this. I bet she is glad you took this time away from her, so she doesn’t have to put up with failure of a Dad you actually are.”Storm had heard enough and started attacking Aries with punches. Aries used a poke to the eyes to try and get some time to leave the ring, but Storm grabbed him by the shirt and started pounding him again. Storm was setting up for the Last Call, but when he went for the kick, Aries caught him with a low blow. Aries picked up Storm for the Brainbuster, but Storm countered and landed on his feet. Aries turned around and was caught by the Last Call. Storm grabbed the title and stood over Aries. The crowd started chanting, “Next World Champ” as Storm placed the title on Aries’ lifeless body.
Backstage we see a fight has broken out. It appears it’s between RVD and Matt Morgan. Security comes in to break it up.Commercial BreakWe see Hogan sitting in his office, when Bully Ray bursts in.Bully, “Did you see this note?”Hulk, "No, what is it?”Bully, “It says here that Devon and his buddies aren’t here tonight.”Hulk, “Let me see that.”Bully, “I don’t get it, Hulk. They have been here every week. But the week I want them to be here, they aren’t. Devon is scared of me. Devon doesn’t want to fight me, I swear. Give me the match with him at Turning Point, so he is forced to face me!” Hulk, “I’m sorry, Bully. I already made the match official with Sting. But promise me, you’ll be in Sting’s corner.”Bully, “I promise that I’ll be in Sting’s corner. But I can’t promise you what I’ll do when I see Devon and the Aces & Eights.”Bully Ray storms out while Hulk reads the note.AJ Styles def. Kurt Angle
It was another classic put on by two great performers. During the match, the referee had accidentally been taken out which brought out Bobby Roode. Angle hit Styles with the Angle Slam, but Roode smashed a beer bottle over Angle’s head. Roode pulled Styles on top of Angle and got the three. |

A bit odd to open Impact Wrestling with a Knockout's Title match. Tara retaining was expected, interested in seeing where she and Jesse go from here. The bit with Hogan and Bully was fine, Sting going against Devon at Turning Point isn't that much, though. Obviously just a match to hold off the eventual Bully/Devon match. Chavo and Hernandez got a good redeeming win over Kid Kash and Gunner. Don't think Garret and Wes needed to make the post-match appearance, though. Whoa. Magnus and Jeff Hardy feud? A bit random, but I like it. Their matches have the potential to be great, and this is a good opportunity for Magnus to climb into the main event scene. Joe going over Roode, I like. What I didn't like was Roode submitting. Where did he get a beer bottle from? Angle's involvement was fine, definitely will set up a future match against Roode in a BFG '11 rematch. I gotta say, the lowest point of this diary so far has to be the use of Joey Ryan. I'm not saying you have to push him to the moon, but he's been made to look like such a bitch. Matt Morgan is incredibly confusing in this diary. It's difficult to see where you're going with him. Last week, he attacked RVD, a face. And this week, he attacks Robbie E and T, two heels. Aries and Storm's promo was excellently written, but I think you dropped it with the post-match stuff. After Aries' comment about Storm's daughter, he shouldn't have gotten his comeuppance so soon. Aries poking Storm in the eye, then running away would've been a lot better. A great main event with AJ Styles going over Kurt Angle, though the finish made AJ come off as a heel. Plus, I think I would've switched this wit the Aries/Storm promo in terms of placement on the show. Overall, a decent edition of Impact Wrestling. There were some decisions that put me off a bit. Plus, where were the #WTTCOTW this week? Regardless, this diary is still rolling on strong. Keep it up.

November 1, 2012
The show opens and we see Joseph Park standing in the ring.Park, “Two weeks ago, I finally broke free from the Aces & Eights. Ever since that episode of Impact, people have been approaching me, asking me about what happened. Asking me about my handcuff brake heard around the world. And honestly, I don’t know what happened. I can’t explain what happened. I can’t explain how I found the strength. All I know is I was filled with rage. All I saw was red. The Aces & Eights kidnapped me and assaulted me for weeks and I finally had the chance for revenge. I wasn’t here last week, because I was preparing for tonight. I was actually in wrestling training. Me and the rest of my firm at Park, Park, and Park found an interesting sentence in the contract for Open Fight Night. It states, and I quote, ‘Anyone who gets in the ring can challenge anyone on the roster to a fight. The man who is called out must accept, no questions asked.’ Nowhere does it say that you have to be a member of the Impact roster to call someone out. All it says is that you have to be in the ring, which I am. Hulk, don’t worry. Even if something happens to me tonight, there isn’t going to be any lawsuit. Without any more hesitation, I would like to call out a member of Aces & Eights!”Devon comes from the Aces & Eights entrance and gets in the ring.Devon, “Park, you are even stupider than you look. You want to call out Aces & Eights? Well, you’ve got Aces & Eights.”Devon hits Park with the microphone as the bell rings.
Devon def. Joseph Park via disqualification
Joseph got to his feet and saw that he was bleeding, and that was enough. Park destroyed Devon with strikes. Devon made it to the ropes but Park wouldn’t quit assaulting him, forcing the referee to call for the DQ. |
Joey Ryan def. Mr. Anderson
In his first win on Impact Wrestling, Joey Ryan squeaked away with the win. After Anderson controlled much of the match, Ryan rolled-up Anderson and used the ropes for some assistance. |
Bobby Roode def. “Kurt Angle”
Roode picked apart this Kurt Angle Imposter from the beginning. The man didn’t get in any offense and to make matters worse, Roode won by making him tap out to the Ankle Lock. |
Taeler Hendrix def. Tara in a non-title match
It was a great debut for Taeler Hendrix as she managed to pin the Knockouts Champion. Tara thought she had the match won, but kept on going over to talk to Jessie which led to Hendrix getting a rollup victory. |
Wes Brisco def. Daniels and Chavo Guerrero
In an impressive debut, Kurt Angle’s training paid off for Wes Brisco. Despite involvement from Hernandez, Garett, and Kazarian, Wes managed to stay focused and got the win with a Figure-Four Leglock to Chavo.
|
Gut Check Match
Robbie E. def. Raul LaMotta
Robbie managed to get the better of Raul throughout the entire match. Raul hits a burst of momentum, but later got caught after a distraction from Robbie T. Robbie E. hit the FTD for the win. |
Commercial BreakJames Storm & Jeff Hardy vs. Magnus & Austin Aries went to a no-contest
It was a great tag team match that actually got a decent amount of time. Storm and Aries never had an interaction in the match because as soon as Storm would enter, Aries would tag out. Jeff Hardy had Magnus down and was setting up a Swanton Bomb, until the Aces & Eights showed up and pushed Hardy off of the ropes. |

It is being reported that Impact Wrestling has contacted former Team Canada manager, Scott D'Amore. As of right now, we aren't sure what they are in negotiations for, whether it be for an appearance or for a return to the creative team, it all appears to be up in the air.
It is expected that the Aces & Eights angle will end at Lockdown in a Lethal Lockdown match.
It looks like Impact Wrestling has contacted several Indy wrestlers to possibly get added to the X-Division. We can't confirm any names yet, but we will provide an update when we get the names. |

Nice promo to start off Joseph Park, and I like Devon answering the challenge and the disqualification was a nice call. Sting and Bully Ray making the save is good, they kind of have to now. Nice interaction in the back with Styles and Joe, good match set up for Turning Point. Joey Ryan beating Mr. Anderson I can dig, but I hope you do something with Anderson... Anderson following this. Comical and good moment for Roode to beat the fake Kurt Angle, and I look forward to the real match at Turning Point. Eh. Knockouts. Good triple threat match that gives Brisco a good win that puts him over well. I don't like the Robbies. Never have. Never will really. So meh. Big main event and wowzers at Matt Morgan joining Aces and Eights. That is huge. A good show, regardless of my care for TNA really.

The show opens with a video recap of Matt Morgan joining Aces & Eights last week.
We go to the Impact Zone where the Aces & Eights are standing in the ring.Devon, “Last week, you all got a taste of what’s to come from Aces & Eights. When it was revealed that Matt Morgan was a part of this family, you people didn’t know what to think. Luckily for you, I’m here to tell you what to think. You people should be thinking that the Impact Wrestling roster’s time is almost up. You people should be thinking that at Turning Point, Devon is going to destroy Sting. You people should be thinking that there isn’t a single person back there that can stop Matt Morgan. But, ladies and gentlemen, I have hyped him enough. Everyone, get on your feet and welcome, ‘The Blueprint’ Matt Morgan!”Matt Morgan made his way to the ring through the Aces & Eights entrance.Morgan, “Thank you, Devon. Your speech really warmed my heart. My attack on RVD a few weeks ago left a lot of people wondering. ‘Why would Matt Morgan do such a thing!’ is all I heard. Then, when I attacked Robbie E. and Robbie T., everyone was saying that those two deserved it, that I was in the right on that occasion. And it really made me realize how fickle you people are. One minute you’re against me, the next you’re with me. But, it’s not just the fans, no. It’s also Impact Wrestling management. One minute they were saying that I’m the next big thing to come from Impact Wrestling. That I was the next World Champ. That I was going to be, the future of this company! Then the next minute, my contract runs up and nowhere is giving a damn. Hulk Hogan said that he was one of my biggest supporters. Hulk, I’ve got a question for you. If you were one of my biggest supporters, then why didn’t you bother to renegotiate my contract? Why didn’t you even try to resign me? Unfortunately, I suffered the same fate as Devon. My contract expired and no one cared. However, these guys had my back. The Aces & Eights had my back. Everyone thinks that the Aces & Eights are some group of thugs that want to make a name for themselves, well that’s wrong! The Aces & Eights are a group of guys that have gotten screwed over by this company and want to show management what they missed out on. We are a group of people that want a second chance, because we were screwed over our first go around. Everyone wanted the big scoop on Aces & Eights, well there it is. Hulk, you now know why we’re here, and you know how to make this right.”Just then, RVD, Sting, and Bully Ray ran down to the ring and the Aces & Eights hightailed it out of there. Just as the Aces & Eights were leaving, Bully grabbed a mic.Bully, “What’s the matter? Are you upset because you guys didn’t do anything impressive your first go around? I’ll tell ya what, you guys want to do something impressive? How about at Turning Point, Morgan, you can pick one of your goons to tag with to take on me and RVD!”Morgan, “Bully, you just made one of the worst decisions of your life. You’re on!”Backstage, in the locker room, we see Kurt Angle getting his boots on. The cameraman asks him about what he thought of Roode’s actions last week.Angle, “It was petty. It doesn’t affect me at all. But, if that’s what Roode wants to do to try and get at me, fine. If Roode wants to play games, I’ll play games.”We see a graphic promoting tonight’s contract signing between Austin Aries and James Storm.Commercial Break#1 Contenders Match
Garett Bischoff & Wes Brisco def. Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez
It was a close bout that didn’t see either team really get a full advantage. Midway through the match Hernandez hit a dive onto Garett on the outside, and appeared to tweak his knee. Wess took advantage of the injury and made Hernandez tap out to the Figure-Four Leglock. |
” Al walks away as Joey looks none too pleased.Commercial BreakWe see Hogan in his office with Joseph Park.Hogan, “What was that last week, brother? You looked like and animal out there.”Park, “I don’t know what got into me. I saw Devon and I just snapped.”Hogan, “Well, it was quite impressive.”Park, “Speaking of impressive. Are you putting any thought into just rehiring whoever is behind Aces & Eights? It seems like they just want their jobs back.”Hogan, “I’m kind of in a sticky situation, brother. If I hire them, whoever they may be, it just shows that all of their bullying and assaults got them what they wanted and I can’t have that precedent being set. On the other hand, if I don’t rehire them, their games are going to continue and everyone is still going to have to be looking over their shoulders for who-knows how long.”Park, “You really do have a tough decision to make, Hulk.”Hogan, “I know. Could you please give me some time alone to think, brother?”Park, “Oh, absolutely.”Park leaves as Hogan sits in his chair, thinking. We go back to the Impact Zone where we see Kurt Angle standing in the ring.Angle, “I’m sure all of you saw what Roode did last week. Having that man come out here and impersonate me. Well, I have a few tricks up my sleeve, as well. So, everybody please welcome back to Impact Wrestling, Bobby Roode’s former mentor, Scott D’Amore!”D’Amore made his way to the ring, receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd.D’Amore, “Kurt, I’m so glad you approached me to make this appearance, because it feels great to be back in the Impact Zone!”Angle, “Thank you, for coming. As I said on the phone, I just want to ask you a few questions about Bobby Roode. First question: How would you describe Bobby Roode’s attitude?” D’Amore, “Honestly, Kurt, I find his attitude to be great. He knows what he wants, he gets what he wants, and then he brags about it because he can.”Angle looks at D’Amore, as if he is joking.Angle, “Alright, not the type of answer I expected but, moving on. Question two: Everyone remembers you as the manager of Team Canada. Would you say that Bobby Roode was the weakest member of that group?” D’Amore, “No, far from it. If anything, I’d say that Roode was the team’s greatest asset. I always said that Roode had what it took to become a World Champion and I’v very proud of him that he accomplished that goal.”Angle, “Okay. I tried throwing you a couple of bones here, but you’re not quite giving me the answers I was looking for.”D’Amore, “Sorry, Kurt. It’s just that Roode always was my favorite. So much so, that he still keep in touch. I told him what you planned to do tonight. I told him that you wanted me to humiliate him. Don’t get me wrong, we thought it was funny. Bobby and I had a good laugh at it. Only it wasn’t at his expense, but at yours.”Just as D’Amore finished his sentence, Roode attacked Angle from behind. Roode started hitting Angle with punches in the corner, but Angle started to fight back. Angle eventually had Roode up for the Angle Slam, but Roode countered and exited the ring. Angle got to his feet and was slapped by D’Amore. The slap didn’t seem to hurt Angle as he picked D’Amore up and connect with the Angle Slam. Angle pulled down his straps on locked D’Amore in the Ankle Lock. D’Amore was screaming in pain and was yelling for Roode, but Roode just cowardly watch from the stage. Angle let go after D’Amore started tapping, and grabbed a mic.Angle, “Roode, that’s going to be you this Sunday!”The crowd cheered, as Roode looked horrified. We see the graphic promoting the contract signing between Austin Aries and James Storm.

It was round two for these fine athletes. Anderson, once again, controlled the majority of the match. Joey Ryan eventually won with a rollup, and some grabbing of the tights. |
Non-Title Match
The World Tag Team Champions of the World def. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe
This was a fantastic match that showcased the chemistry they all have with one another. Joe and AJ managed to work on the same page through most of the match. There was a partner miscommunication when Kazarian shoved AJ into Joe. Styles and Joe had words, before Samoa Joe Joe left the ring and walked up the ramp. Styles looked on in disgust, before he was rolled-up by Kazarian for the win. |

JB then introduces the World Heavyweight Champion, Austin Aries. Aries comes out and the crowd is booing him like crazy.Borash, “Gentlemen, once you sign this contract your match at Turning Point for the World Heavyweight Championship becomes official. Before we sign, do either of you have any last words?” Aries, “Yeah, I do. Storm, if you think that because you’ve superkicked me two weeks in a row, that you have gotten in my head, then you’re wrong. So far, you haven’t done anything to even make me think that you can beat me for this title. You barely beat Bobby Roode at Bound for Glory, two weeks ago I absolutely embarrassed you on the mic, and then last week I knocked you out cold with my title. Storm, you’re not a threat to me. You never have been and you never will be. And after I beat you at Turning Point, I think it’s time you take another ‘break’ and go back home with your tail between your legs.”Storm, “You said that I’m not a threat? I am the guy that dominated the BFG Series and I would have won the whole thing if it weren’t for Bobby Roode. Bobby Roode, the same man that I demolished at Bound for Glory. I then lay you out not once, but twice with the Last Call Superkick. I am a former 11 time World Tag Team Champion. I am a former World Heavyweight Champion, and you say that I’m not a threat? Aries, you are in way over your head and at Turning Point, I’m gonna kick that head off of your shoulders.”Aries, “Congratulations, Storm, you have accolades. So do I. I have competed all over the world. I have wrestled for dozens of promotions, and I have dominated them all. I am a former ROH Tag Team Champion. I am a former 2 time ROH World Champion. I am the winner of the 2011 X-Division showcase. I was the longest reigning X-Division champion in history, and I never even lost the belt. I gave it up to win this, pretty title that I have now. Storm, you are nothing more than a fat, drunken, sloppy mess, shell of your former self. When you were in AMW everyone thought you two were the greatest tag team alive! Now, no one gives a crap about you. They only care about the Greatest Man that Ever Lived and at Turning Point, that man will pin your shoulders down for the three count.”Storm, “Well, Aries, I don’t know about you but I’m done talking.”Storm and Aries sign the contract.Storm, “That’s it then. This Sunday, you have got to face your toughest challenge to date. I’m not a shell of my former self, no, no ,no! I am the beer drinking, Johnny Cash listenin’, Aries’s ass kickin’, future World Heavyweight Champion! Sorry, about your damn luck!”Storm and Aries stand up and go face-to-face as Impact comes to a close. |

Impact Wrestling: 11/8/12
Morgan in Aces and Eights is certainly an interesting call. And it's one I don't mind, honestly. His promo did give a great case as to why he joined the group, it makes perfect sense to me, and he and Devon share a bond through it. The Tag Team Match for Turning Point sounds nice, a gimmick match would spice it up even more, though. Curious to see who Morgan picks. Have any of the masked members been revealed yet in this diary? Garret and Wes as the number one contenders, eh. It's a great opportunity for a fresh, young team, but I hope it's just an opportunity and you don't put the gold on them. Chavo and Hernandez do come off as a bit weak, though. A team that was meant to be experienced and dominant, losing to two superstars who can be classified as "rookies." Alright, now we're getting somewhere with Joey Ryan. I approve of the Era of Sleaze. Hogan does have a solid case as to why he's hesitant to re-hire the Aces and Eights, whoever it may be. I'm calling it as Jeff Jarrett. What Da Hayle?!?! Scott D'Amore!?!? I missed that Canadian fatass! I love how Angle was expecting him to trash Roode, yet he just praised him. This segment was very well done, maybe the best I've seen from you yet. I would absolutely LOVE to see D'Amore return in a permanent role as Roode's manager once again. Yeah! My boy Joey with the win! It does hurt Anderson a lot, though. He should at least get a bit of momentum back off of Joey, soon. Decent promo from Jeff Hardy to set the stage for his Television Championship match against Magnus at Turning Point. Maybe could've used a bit of time for Magnus, though. I must say, I do love how you're putting the Television Title up in a main event-worthy match on PPV. Makes it look far more important and prestigious than it ever has. The Tag Team Match sounded great. Gave #WTTCOTW some great momentum, and built the Joe/Styles match up nicely. Maybe could've used some interactions with Garret and Wes following the match, though. I actually like Zema Ion. What a bummer to see him lose to Alex Silva, who I still can't stand for some reason. Who's Raul LaMotta? A bit embarrassing for me as I'm usually aware of all talents used in a modern day sim. Doesn't really matter much, though, since he didn't win Gut Check. Get Christian York on this soon. Glad Taeler Hendrix got the win. She's a very solid talent with a ton of potential. Maybe a Knockout's Championship match on PPV at this point in her career is a bit too much. I get that it's a great opportunity for her, but we really don't know much about her other than that she's a solid worker who was misdiagnosed with cancer. Feeding her to Tara could do more harm than good for her, especially since secondary Knockout's feuds seem non-existent. So after Sunday, she'll most likely fall out of the picture and it would be pretty difficult for her to rebound, especially with other face Knockouts like Mickie James, Miss Tessmacher, and ODB on the roster. Lastly, a good closing segment with Austin Aries and James Storm signing their contract for Turning Point. Overall, a good go home edition of Impact Wrestling. Nothing is perfect yet, but this diary is still coming along very nicely, and I look forward to your first PPV outing with Turning Point.

Impact Wrestling
Alright, it's about time I return your replies. Decent opening segment between Devon and Matt Morgan. Morgan's bit was easily the best part and a tag match against Bully Ray and RVD at Turning Point is alright. Hmm, would have rather seen Chavo and Hernandez take the number one contender spot. Nice attack from the tag champs after the match, hoping Daniels and Kaz will retain at Turning Point. Joey Ryan versus Mr. Anderson tonight should be a pretty good bout, looking forward to it. Mixed feelings on the Kurt Angle segment. Liked the attack from Roode and the Ankle Lock on D'Moore, but Angle's tactics of bringing out D'Moore to humiliate Roode seemed a little heelish. Good match between Joey Ryan and Mr. Anderson, can get down with Ryan picking up the win. Liking the Joey Ryan push, hoping he'll take the Television Championship at some point. Good promo from Hardy on Magnus, but I hope Magnus retains the title at Turning Point after knocking off Joe at Bound for Glory. Awesome match between Of the World and Styles/AJ. Another bout between Joe and AJ down the line can be fun, hopefully the winner of the feud is launched back in the title feud. Or both, that would be best. ;) Solid win for Alex Silva over Zema Ion in his debut, about time he actually got used for once. I don't get the Gut Check segment. Why write out every segment besides the Gut Check? Just looks out of place. Hendrix getting some momentum going into her title shot is nice, even though now it seems like Gail Kim is floating around with nothing again. Lastly, an awesome segment between Austin Aries and James Storm to close out the show. Nice to see the segment didn't end in a chaotic brawl like it normally does. Overall, a decent show besides some odd decisions. Turning Point is shaping up to be a good card, looking forward to more.

The show opens with a video packaging highlighting Austin Aries and James Storm. It looks back at the past four weeks and everything that has transpired between the two. It then gets darker and takes a look at Aces & Eights and the inclusion of Matt Morgan.
We go into the Impact Zone where Taz and Mike Tenay welcome us to the show, then proceed to run down the card for tonight. Just as Tenay and Taz finish Talking, AJ Styles makes his entrance for the first match of the night.AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe
After everything that went down Thursday, you could feel the animosity between the two longtime rivals. Their chemistry was proven to be just as good as it’s always been and they gave it everything they had. AJ Styles tried to use his speed and agility, while Joe relied on strong striking and grappling. It was a back-and-forth match with neither man getting a distinct advantage. Highlights from the match include AJ Styles hitting Joe with a Shooting Star Plancha to the outside. Joe hitting AJ with a Death Valley Driver from the second rope. AJ missing the Pele Kick and getting caught in an STF. Samoa Joe hitting a big Suicide Dive. AJ connecting with the Pele and laying out Joe. Towards the end of the match Styles laid Joe out with a Tornado DDT and Styles called for the Spiral Tap. AJ went into his bag of tricks to try and put Joe away, but Joe knocked AJ’s feet out from underneath him and connect with a Muscle Buster for the three.
Winner: Samoa Joe (14:06) |
“Magnus, tonight you are facing Jeff Hardy. A lot of people claim that this is your biggest test to date as a wrestler. You heard Jeff Hardy’s comment this past Thursday about proving you wrong, how do you respond?” Magnus, “It’s simple, really. Tonight, I’m going to go out there and work my match. I’m going to let Jeff Hardy think that he can beat, then I’m just going to sit back and watch Hardy crash and burn. Jeff Hardy is not as good as he once was, but even at his best he still wasn’t as good as me. I said that 2013 is going to be the year of Magnus, but it looks like tonight, the Year of Magnus gets started a bit early.”We cut to a video showing Garett Bischoff and Wes Brisco’s journey toward the tag team title. Garett and Wes, then make their entrance for the first title match of the evening.World Tag Team Championship
The World Tag Team Champions of the World vs. Garett Bischoff & Wes Brisco
It was a true battle of experience versus the new blood. Daniels & Kazarian dominated the early portions of the match with Garett & Wes sometimes getting in a few shots. Daniels & Kazarian’s ego got the better of them when they took too much time showing off, allowing Wes Brisco to take control of the match for his team. Daniels & Kazarian’s tag team experience really paid off in this match. Daniels hit Garett with an STO followed by a Slingshot Leg Drop from Kazarian. Kazarian hit Garett with a Shining Wizard followed by a Split-Legged Moonsault from Daniels. The tag team champions were very impressive with their double-team maneuvers. It looked like we were going to have new champions when Wes hit Kazarian with the Figure-Four Leglock. As Wes applied the hold, Daniels hit him with the BME which resulted in a close three-count. Towards the end of the match, Daniels and Wes began fighting up the ramp. Daniels treid to go to the backstage area, but Wes grabbed him and slammed him onto the stage. Wes got fired up over the response from the crowd and put Daniels in the Figure-Four on the stage. Back in the ring, Kazarian took advantage with an eye-poke to Garett. Wess continued to punish Daniels with the Figure-Four and missed Kazarian hit the Fade to Black on Garett. Wes tried to make the save, but was too late as Kazarian had already earned the three count.

“Gentlemen tonight, you face Matt Morgan and another member of Aces & Eights. What’s your game plan going into tonight’s match and what do you plan to do about the others members of Aces & Eights?” Bully, “JB, our game plan is what my game plan has been my entire career. The game plan is: Raise Hell, Beat Ass, and Take Names. I may not be facing my brotha’ Devon tonight, but I’ve got the second best thing. Me and my boy RVD are going to take the Aces & Eights to the extreme and make them wish that they never would have accepted this challenge. Aces & Eights, tonight you guys are going to get your brains busted in.”Bully Ray leaves as JB stares at RVD.RVD, “What he said!”We go back into the Impact Zone where Mr. Anderson makes his elaborate entrance.Mr. Anderson vs. Joey Ryan
Mr. Anderson was hoping that the third time would be the charm against Joey Ryan in this PPV bonus match. The followed by example of their previous encounters. Late in the match, Joey Ryan rolled-up Anderson and used the ropes for leverage, but the referee caught him and stopped the count. Anderson went for a Mic Check and got countered into a roll-up from Ryan, who had a handful of Anderson’s tights. The referee caught Ryan cheating and stopped the count. Ryan argued with the official and turned around right into a Mic Check, giving Anderson the win.
Winner: Mr. Anderson (4:48) |
“Sting, coming up next you take on Devon. Hulk Hogan was confident in you that you would be the one to get the job done and you have the chance to prove that, tonight. We saw Matt Morgan give his reason as to why he joined Aces & Eights, now I wanna know your thoughts on Matt Morgan.” Sting, “This may sound a bit weird to most of you out there, but I get Matt Morgan. I understand what he was going through and his choices, while not my favorite, make sense. Morgan was lost and confused, so was Devon. The Aces & Eights are trying to take advantage of people when they are at their weakest. If you’re down and out and there’s a group of guys saying, ‘We’ve got your back.” Of course, you’re going to go with them. You’re going to join them. Tonight, I have Devon, the first offender. Devon, you were angry at Impact Wrestling and you saw Aces & Eights as a way to get back at us. Well, tonight, I am going to get back at you, for EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE! Tonight, it’s going to be SHOWTIME!”We see a video package highlighting Devon and the Aces & Eights. Following the video, Sting, being accompanied by Bully Ray, makes his entrance for the next match.Sting vs. Devon
Devon used dirty tactics in the beginning of this match to take advantage early. Bully Ray kept pacing around the ring, keeping his eye on the other Aces & Eights member at ringside. Highlights from the match include, Sting hitting Devon with a Diving DDT. Devon hitting his own version of the Stinger Splash, followed by a Diving Headbutt. Sting building his comeback with a Clothesline, Inverted Atomic Drop, Dropkick, which was all topped of with the Stinger Splash. Sting went for the Scorpion Deathlock, but let go of the hold to knock an Aces & Eights member off of the apron. Bully Ray chased the two members away from ringside, and up through the crowd. While Sting was looking at Bully, Devon slipped on a pair of Brass Knuckles. Sting turned around was caught a big right hand, which had the Brass Knuckles on it. Devon covered him, but only for a two count. Devon picked up Sting’s legs and attempted a Scorpion Deathlock of his own, but was countered. Sting got to his feet and locked Devon in the Scorpion Death Lock. Devon was close to the ropes, but Sting pulled him right back to the center of the ring. It looked like Devon was about to tap, but an Aces & Eights member came out from under the ring. The Masked man got on the turnbuckle, but was knocked off by Sting. Sting continued to kick the masked man off of the apron, but Devon grabbed Sting and hit the Saving Grace for the three count.
Winner: Devon (10:17) |
“Taeler, tonight is your biggest match to date. A Knockouts Championship match against Tara. So far, you and Tara have one win apiece against one another and tonight is the rubber match where you get your chance to shine. This past Thursday, Tara called you a nobody and said that she will give you your fifteen minutes of fame tonight. How do you respond?” Taeler, “Tara called me a nobody. Why am I a nobody? Is it because I haven’t won the Knockouts title yet? Is it because I don’t have a poor excuse for a Hollywood boyfriend? I know it’s not because I haven’t beaten Tara, because I have. Tara, everyone starts out somewhere, and at one point in your career you were where I am today. A youngster with a big chance and a big break. I have overcome bigger obstacles than Tara, in my life. I know it will feel so good when I hold that title above my head, it’s my dream to do so. I have the biggest match of my life, coming up next. I know I won’t let this opportunity go to waste. Tonight, we crown ourselves a new Knockouts champion.”We go back to the Impact Zone where Tara and Jessie make their entrance for our second title match of the evening. Knockouts Championship
Tara vs. Taeler Hendrix
It didn’t take too long for these two to go at it. Tara’s experience helped her, here. She took advantage of the rookie any chance she got. After almost every move, Tara would go over and kiss Jessie. Tara picked Hendrix up for the Widow’s Peak’ but had it countered into a rollup. Taeler started to build momentum and hit Tara with a Roundhouse Kick for a close three count. Tara tried to escape, but Taeler stopped her on the apron. Taeler went to Suplex Tara back into the ring, but Jessie pulled Taeler’s feet, allowing Tara to fall on top of her. Jessie held down Taeler’s feet, preventing Hendrix from kicking out.

Magnus vs. Jeff Hardy
You could feel the hatred between these two as the bell rang and Hardy exploded on Magnus. Hardy didn’t waste any time laying into Magnus with rights and lefts.

RVD and the masked man were throwing each other into the guardrail, while Bully was ramming Matt Morgan’s face into every turnbuckle. RVD and Bully began double teaming Morgan.

Alright, your first go at a PPV. Interested in seeing what you have here. A great way to kick off the show with Samoa Joe getting the victory over AJ Styles. Either guy could've used to victory, now hoping that we see a continuation. Great and expected win for the World Tag Team Champions of the World. Honestly, Garret and Wes should never come close to the title again. I question if they should've come close now. The Anderson/Joey feud has felt a bit awkward to me. Seems like it was just to give both guys something to do. I'd be surprised if it continued, honestly. Had no real interest in the Sting/Devon match, but Devon winning was expected. A good Knockout's Title match here. The finish adds so much sympathy to Taeler's character, a rematch seems like a must. This time, I think I'd be okay with her grabbing the title, say, next month or so. Huge win for Magnus here to retain the Television Championship. I will say that this is a bit of a fall for Jeff Hardy. He won the BFG Series, but then lost his title match with Aries, and then lost a Television Championship match against Magnus. Selfishly, though, I don't care. It's a big win for Magnus and can propel him into the main event scene, whenever the time is right. Aces and Eights involvement is definitely noteworthy. Intrigued to see where that goes. A good match up between Bobby Roode and Kurt Angle. I kind of liked the finish with D'Amore getting involved, definitely sets up a rematch for Final Resolution. Aces and Eights getting the victory was needed. Matt Hardy.....ugh. Don't get me wrong, it is a surprise to see him in Aces and Eights. But Matt Hardy is just....ugh. And the reveal seemed far too similar to Devon's at BFG. Guess we'll be getting Devon/Matt vs. Bully/Jeff sometime soon. What's next? Is Lex Luger is Aces and Eights? Lastly, a great championship main event with Austin Aries getting the victory. Definitely the right call, and I love the reign that Aries has been having. As of now, Storm seems like the candidate to end it, though. Overall, a very solid PPV. Some things were a bit off, but nothing major.

Reports have surfaced that Jeff Hardy and management got into a big fight backstage at the last Impact taping. It was reportedly over Hardy's contract situation. It appears that Hardy's contract expires in January, and not February as previously reported. According to sources, Hardy is demanding too much money and TNA is not willing to pay him.
There have been some talks backstage about ending the Aces & Eights storyline earlier then expected. While previously being reported to end at Lockdown, now they are discussing having Lockdown be the first PPV after the Aces & Eights angle is done.
TNA management has reportedly contacted Kenny King and Sonjay Dutt about becoming full-time roster members.
With his show getting picked up for another season, you can expect to see Eric Young taking a leave of absence from TNA. It is being said that he can leave, but the door will always be open for him, if he chooses to return. |
