[Max]

Taz: Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to iMPACT live, I'm Taz along with my commentary partner and friend Booker T.

Booker T: thanks Taz, and hey fans, man it's been a crazy few weeks leadin' up to tonight Taz, we saw Jeff Jarrett get an offer to join Main Event Mafia, we saw CM Punk throw the WWE championship in the trash, and at one of the house shows Matt Hardy almost won the X-Division title from D'Angleo Dinero. But that's the past this is the present baby, welcome to iMPACT live Sucka!

[Max]

Taz: and there's our latest addition to the tag team circuit, the self proclaimed Nation of Domination, Matt Morgan and Rob Terry.

Booker T: Man they may not have proved themselves in action yet Taz, but one things for sure, these 2 aren't playin' around and judging by the size of 'em I wouldn't wanna mess with either of these men here Taz.

Taz; well who could blame ya Booker, their freakin' giants.

Matt Morgan: get your tired ass outta the ring Michael!

Booker T: that's just disrespect right there Taz, Michael Buffer is our ring announcer and the first thing Morgan does is take the mic away from him.

Matt Morgan: ladies and gentlemen, my partner and I have been waiting for weeks and not a single damn team in the back has had the balls to come out here and face us. We aren't just a nation of domination clearly we are a nation of fear ...

Matt Morgan: which is why right now once again I'm calling out any tag team with the nerve to step up to the challenge of the dominance that is Matt Morgan and Rob Terry!

Taz: Oh boy well he wanted someone he got it, that's tag team champs Team 3-D right there Booker and their lookin' fiercer then ever.

Brother Ray: Okay I don't know if I'm the only one ... but I am freakin' sick and tired of hearin' your blabbin' and cockiness.

Brother Ray: c'mon Matt, we're out here, we're exceptin' your challenge, watcha gotta say to that!? huh?

Matt Morgan: What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What are you gonna do huh?

Brother Ray: I'll tell you what I'm gonna do .... Devon let's kick their ass!

Booker T: oh boy. These could turn out to be an all out rumble here Taz, the bloods boiling and I think it might just spill!



Taz: and the brawl begins as Rob Terry is already tossed outta the ring and Morgan is locking up with Brother Ray.

Taz: Ray pickin' up the advantage with that right hook.





Booker T: Oh man Dudley Death Drop on Morgan! That's one hell of a way to shut Morgan up Taz.


Taz: Tag Team champions Brother's ray and Devon standing in victory, talk about an opening to a show.

Booker T: I don't think it's over yet Taz, Rob Terry got up and just knocked the daylights right outta Brother Ray.




Taz: my god vicious powerbomb from Terry to Devon sandwiching the Dudley boys one on top of the other, talk about flat out mayhem.




Booker T: not exactly the match Morgan & Terry were lookin' for but I think I smell a big fight coming up sometime soon Taz.

[Max]

Mick Foley: Hello iMPACT zone! As you may know at our last Pay Per View the man you see before you, Abyss became the Global champion, now and forever...

Mick Foley: and there is not one man in the back who can change that no matter who they are!

Taz: looks like Mick may have spoken too soon there's our last Global champ, Jeff Hardy!

Booker T: man and listen to those fans go wild, they are loving Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy: nobody Mick? Nobody?
Mick Foley: Nobody!
Jeff Hardy: Maybe your memory has gone short term in your old age Mick but if I remember right at Final Resolution you cheated me outta that title!
Mick Foley: No! No I didn't that's a lie Jeff and you know it!?

Jeff Hardy: Really Mick? Then I guess the cameras must be wrong too, roll the footage guys!

[Max]

Last weekend at Final Resolution







Live

Jeff Hardy if that wasn't an easy way out Mick I don't know what is!

Mick Foley: No! That's gotta be fake!
Jeff Hardy: Yup, and it must have been Mr. Kennedy's imagination when you screwed him too.
Mick Foley: I didn't screw anyone!

Booker T: looks like we got someone here who will beg to differ Taz, it's Mr. Kennedy!

Mr. Kennedy: Yes Mick ... god forsake me I've gone delusional. I have been seeing things and remembering things that never happened, and god damn me it's infectious it's even gotten to Jeff hell it's infected our cameras!

Mr. Kennedy: I mean good lord look how bad this disease has the camera, just roll the match that never was.
TNA house show









Live

Mick Foley: stop the footage! Listen here you ass hole!

Mr. Kennedy: did you just call me an ass hole?

Mick Foley: yes...
Mr. Kennedy: well thank you.

Jeff Hardy: Stop! listen here Mick you wanna prove your innocence, pull your sorry ass outta retirement and you and Abyss will face me and Kennedy next week right here, in the iMPACT zone!


Abyss: We accept!
Mick Foley: Nooooo!!

Taz: looks like we got ourselves quite the matchup set for next week Booker! Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy go 2 n' 2 against the Monster Abyss and his mentor Mick Foley!

[Max]

Booker T: well time to start up our first match up as Chris Masters makes his way to the ring.

Taz: I gotta tell you Booker I have seen this guy in action on other shows and he is one hell of a powerhouse.

Booker T: You don't gotta tell me Taz I've seen the man in the ring myself. He's got lots of strength but does he got what it takes to make it here on iMPACT wrestling? that's the real question.

Taz: Well here comes his opponent a man who freaking threw the WWE championship in the trash, CM Punk!

Booker T: Man if there was one way he could put himself over Chris Masters could beat Punk here tonight and move on to greater things here on TNA.

Taz: Punk with his signature X crossed bands signifying the straight edge superstar life style.


Booker T: this match up starts off with a huge back chop from Masters.



Taz: very nice shoulder block from Chris Masters really asserting his dominance over Punk into this match up.



Booker T: well it looks like Masters' domination is just gonna continue from here as he sets Punk up with that fireman's carry.


Taz: Punk escapes and hits Masters with that vicious knee to the chin!

[Max]

Taz: Well it was a nice clothesline but Punk is back up for more so it wasn't enough.



Booker T: How about that Taz, was that enough power for ya? Masters just knocked Punk flat with back elbow right there.


Taz: Yeah it was pretty powerful but it looks like his cockiness got the best of him, he gave Punk time to get up and that's a mistake brother because look where masters finds himself now. Hit in the neck with a Mongolian chop, and those may not look like much but they hurt boy let me tell ya.





Booker T: Oh! And a very nice looking springboard crossbody knocking Masters tpoo the ground, Punk is really stepping up his game here tonight Taz.




Taz: Can't disagree with ya there Booker, especially with that incredible Enzuigiri from Punk, what a move.






Booker T: and Punk's series of attacks isn't over yet as he hits Masters with that double under hook back breaker, using the tigerbomb lift and just dropping him to the knees, know that's just brutal Taz!






Taz: well looks like the series ends as Punk makes the same mistake in taunting that Masters made earlier in the match now Punk on the receiving end of 2 inverted atomic drops, and those are not fun.








Taz: Man Punk caught the elbow and then hits Masters with a Power Slam, this match really goes back and forth!





Booker T: Punk's really got control here delivering the elbow and following up with that suplex sit out slam.










Taz: man Punk went for that elbow drop Macho Man style but ends up crashed and burned right there on the mat for Masters to pick up on the pain.





Booker T: well Masters had his chance but Punk was just too fast for him and hit him with a springboard clothesline Taz, I think we both know who's coming out on top tonight.






Taz: Bam Punk with the GTS on Masters this is it.


Ref: 1,2,3!
Booker T: well like I said before we both knew who was coming out on top and especially after that GTS on Chris Masters, man that was just insane. I gotta tell you Taz if there was one way for Punk to debut here in the iMPACT zone it was just like that, and he did it right.

: Wait! Hold up one second!

AJ Styles: Punk? Man I think you got the wrong arena. That Peewee Herman excuse of a brand you work for is that way.

AJ Styles: Now don't get me wrong Punk ... your not bad ... I just don't feel you belong in our leagues here in the iMPACT zone. It took you a lot of effort to beat Masters here tonight on your debut, could you imagine if it were someone better like me? Or Sting? Samoa Joe?

AJ Styles: So Punk, why don't you just go back to your locker, pack your bags and go on back to the WWE where you belong.

CM Punk: oh boohoo, Dixie Carter AJ's picking on meee. LIsten AJ... I get it, your scared with me here you won't be the poster child of TNA. You won't be their #1 prodigy. I'm not here to steal your little spotlight AJ. In fact I'm here for the same reason as most of the legitimate wrestlers on TNA and that's to make an iMPACT. And as for me having a "hard time" beating Masters ... if I recall correctly, around 2002 you had a match with a certain comic book hero known as the Hurricane and got your ass handed to you, while I on the other hand was kicking Raven's ass around ROH. So tell me AJ how do you justify getting beaten up by a guy who still believes cartoons are real?



Booker T: man AJ just lost his cool, he's unleashing hells fury all over Punk now!



Taz: Oh but Punk comes right back with that roundhouse kick to the jaw of Styles, things are getting outta control here tonight Booker.
Booker T: Man you can say that again Taz these is just crazy!





Taz: Oh man c'mon AJ this is just getting outta hand. There was no reason for him to be out here in the first place and now he's unleashing everything he's got on Punk, and now with Punk behind the crowd this could be putting innocent people in danger here.






Booker T: and hell is still breaking loose as AJ tries to escape security to get back to his attack on CM Punk and I think he may need a medic out here Taz.

AJ Styles: let the f*ck go!

AJ Styles: I'm gonna get you Punk! I'm coming for you! I'm gonna kick your ass!

AJ Styles: get the hell off me!
Taz: man AJ's outta control I've never seen him like this! This could mean trouble in the iMPACT zone Booker and I don't like it.

Booker T: utter chaos broken loose tonight here on TNA.

[Max]

Taz: now here comes Hernandez & Chavo Guerrero known as the new LAX here on TNA.

Booker T: Man whether you consider them the real deal without Homicide or not these 2 men are fierce fighters in that ring and you gotta give them credit for still being a team after that loss to Team 3-D months ago for the tag titles.

Taz: I agree Booker these 2 men are a great tag team but tonight it's about Chavo as he gets a title shot at X-Division champion D'Angelo Dinero

Booker T: and there he is 4-Up the Pope D'Angelo Dinero with his title. This guy pulled a fast one on Matt Hardy last weekend at Final Resolution lets hope that maybe Chavo Guerrero doesn't suffer the same fate as Matt did Taz.

Taz: I never really undestand the Pope Booker, the man has raw talent. He's incredible in the ring but if he can find an easy way out he takes it. Some may call him an opportunist Booker but I think I might just be calling him a coward.

Booker T: and I don't blame you Taz. He cheated to win the title from Amazing Red, he cheated against Matt Hardy it wouldn't surprise me if he cheated here tonight too.



Taz: Oh! and what did I tell you? Just as the ref turns around to hand the X-Division title to one of our staff Dinero takes the advantage and kicks Chavo right in the head.

[Max]

Ref: hey!?
D'Angelo Dinero: I don't know man he just fell, innocent til proven man!

Hernandez: Quit screwing around dammit you hit him
D'Angelo Dinero: why don't you shut your mouth big man!

Booker T: Oh man ... then once again Dinero with that cheap shot
Taz: that could really effect a man's ... uh ... everything.


Booker T: you'd think so Taz but it looks like Guerrero's gotta lot of game left in him as he brings Dinero up with the fireman's carry.






Taz: D'Agelo escapes but Chavo comes back once again sweeping the leg and hitting D'Angelo with that dropkick.





Taz: Oh! Man Chavo misses the kick and suffers a vicious elbow to the face by Dinero
Booker T: Chavo's been given a really bad hand in this one Taz










Taz: man Dinero going for that backdrop suplex there on Chavo but Chavo managed to twist Dinero around, springboard and then set D'Angelo up on that top rope for the neckbreaker, talk about impressive skill set shown by Chavo tonight.





Booker T: Man you could feel that impact with the ring from Chavo's missed moonsault for miles Taz there is no way that didn't hurt.
D'Angelo Dinero: look Ref! He's up on the side man!

Taz: good god and another low blow from Dinero.


Booker T: man this is starting to look like one of those youtube videos where guys get kicked in the nuts man, this is like a man's worst nightmare.

Taz: well it may not have been a cheap shot this time but that kick to Chavo's back looked pretty intense this doesn't look like it's gonna end well.

[Max]

Booker T: I think this might be it Taz after the Dinero express it looks like Chavo's way too out of it to fight back.



Taz: throws him down to the mat and rolls him up I think this is it.

Ref: 1,2,3!

Hernandez: he freaking cheated you saw that! Come on!

D'Angelo Dinero: that's right man leave!

D'Angelo Dinero: Yo! Mike get your ass in the ring.
Booker T: Why does he want Michael Buffer to get in the ring?
Taz: beats me I think Michael's just as confused as we are Booker.

D'Angelo Dinero: Ladies and Gentleman the Pope does it again! I know some of y'all think I don't got what it takes and all I do is cheat ... but Pope's gotta do what Popes gotta do right?

D'Angelo Dinero: But it even takes skill to cheat in this business my brothers ... you see I was in a hardcore match for my title something that isn't normally done for the X-Division championship but according to our staff it was scheduled as a grudge match due to a few ... complications, between myself and Matt Hardy. I shouldn't have been forced into this match so I treated it like a survival game.

D'Angelo Dinero: So let the Pope show y'all what Pope did at Final Resolution to make sure y'all had the only man fit to be X-Division champion in the world.
Final Resolution




Ref: 1,2,3!

D'Angelo Dinero: people I know what your thinking ... and you're welcome ... now while yours truly did win in the end the Pope still feels Matt Hardy is just a little aggressive. So the Pope went ahead and did y'all a favour.

D'Angelo Dinero: Ladies and gentleman followers of the Dinero religion of all ages, please welcome my brother the MVP of wrestling Monty Dinero and our new body guard Umaga Ekmo Fatu!

Booker T: Monty Dinero and Umaga Fatu in the house Taz. I thought Hardy was being given a hard time before man but with these 2 on D'Angelo's side I think Matt's challenge just tripled man!

Monty Dinero: Gimme that boy!

Monty Dinero: Now get the hell outta our ring the iMPACT zone belongs to the Dinero family man.

Monty Dinero: It's been a long time people ... I'm no stranger to the iMPACT zone not too long ago y'all knew me as Anthony Banks ... well Dinero followers I have returned! I heard my brother D'Angelo here was getting some heat from an old rival of mine ... someone I'm not too unfamiliar with ... a certain Matt Hardy .... this guy thinks he can take on one of us ... well he had no luck before and his luck has certainly run ...

Monty Dinero: I said get outta the damn ring dumb ass!


Monty Dinero: Let's cut to the chase Matt ...

Monty Dinero: You want my brothers title? You gotta cut down the family tree and there's no way you got a chainsaw big enough for that!


Taz: He may not have a chainsaw big enough but he certainly has a chair big enough to knock it down!

Booker T: Matt Hardy's running wild Taz! He just took out both Monty & D'Angelo Dinero

Matt Hardy: What! Come on! What!?
Taz: Uh-oh Matt it aint over yet turn around!

Booker T: Good god! Super kick by Umaga!


Umaga: GraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHGGGgg!!!!
Taz: Umaga standing tall as the Dinero's get up from the attack by Matt Hardy.


Booker T: Looks like their all standing tall Taz ... this looks like the beginning of an era.

[Max]

Raven: 6 months...

Raven: 6 months of just waiting.

Raven: Well I'm back now. Kurt Angle! 7 months ago in a tournament for the world title you have around your waist, you had the win on me ... but didn't let go of my damn ankle. You snapped it.

Raven: let's just show the fans what happened Kurt.

[Max]

7 Months ago




Live

Raven: Now Kurt I'm taking this opportunity. I'm calling you out! Quoth the Raven!

Kurt Angle: oh boohoo I snapped your little ankle!

Kurt Angle: Scott right? Sorry I'm only good with names that matter. I broke my freaking neck for this damn business and your bitching about your ankle?

Kurt Angle: I get it you want revenge? That's why you have all your little weapons lying around out here? Then what the hell are you waiting for!?
Booker T: Oh man things are getting heated now Taz!


Taz: Things are going down in the iMPACT zone Booker, and after this wild night things just get crazier as Raven and Kurt Angle prepare to really just brawl it out here in a ring filled with weapons!




Booker T: Oh man Angle had the upper hand there Taz, but Raven was aware and smashed him with the spine buster into the safe. Your right Taz things are going down tonight and there big, real big!



Taz: Raven picking up the safe and ... OH MY GOD!
Booker T: Holy Sh*t! Taz did you see that? he freaking broke it over his head!

[Max]

Taz: Man Angle's looking like Superman now Booker he's still awake and not even bleeding but I gotta say that's got to be one hell of a head ache.


Booker T: Well the headache for Raven starts here Taz as Main Event Mafia, Sting, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner their all attacking Raven!


Kurt Angle: get him up! I'm gonna smash his damn head in!

Taz: Angle ready to pound in the skull of Raven with the world title but here comes TNA founder Jeff Jarrett, who last week received an offering to join the Main Event Mafia!
Booker T: Man judging by the look of that chair it's trouble in paradise for Main Event Mafia Taz!



Kurt Angle: Jeff! Jeff! This is it Jeff! You want a shot at my title ... I said you gotta join and that won't change ... but your loyalty starts now. You want a title shot attack Raven you want nothing come at me!

Taz: looks like Jarrett's chosen and Main Event Mafia is gonna have a steel chair to deal with!

Booker T: WHAT!? That's impossible man
Taz: Jarrett surprising us all! We thought Jarrett to the rescue but as you see here folks Jarrett smashed Raven with that chair.

Kurt Angle: Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce to you the newest addition to the Main Event Mafia ... JEFF JARRETT!

[Max]

Taz: well coming up next Samoa Joe is undefeated but will his surprise opponent tonight be able to end the streak of this one man army, this Samoan submission machine?

Booker T: I don't know what to say here Taz, Joe is big, he's bad and he sure as hell isn't a guy you wanna mess with.

Taz: I agree Booker. Joe is definitley one bad dude and not someone I want pissed off with me I'll give ya that!

Samoa Joe: I have been in this business for years. I do what I want, when I want and how I want to do it. If the TNA board decides that me facing a mystery opponent tonight is a decent challenge then so be it. Whoever you are ... you're just another victim on the list to me.


Booker T: Oh my god Taz! It's Lex Luger! This man is pure muscle he's gotta be a good challenge for Joe!

Taz: I don't know about a sure challenge Booker but the fans sure seem hyped up to see Luger stepping into the ring whether it be against Joe or someone else.

Booker T: You gotta root for Luger on this one in my opinion Joe has been tearing the house down for months here on TNA and nobodies been able to stop him. I think if there is one man to be our hero tonight it's Lex Luger baby.

Taz: Maybe you spoke to soon. Luger steps in the ring to receive that roundhouse kick right to the face. Not anything you want to be on the receiving end of.

Booker T: High knee to Luger in the corner Joe is putting this guy down already and here I thought we would see the end of the Samoa Joe era tonight.




Taz: Oh! Very nice backdrop suplex from Samoa Joe, you gotta give the man credit, he may not be respectable as a person but the mans got talent and I'll give him that.


Booker T: Joe coming up from behind Luger to get that elbow from Luger.

[Max]

Taz: Joe coming off the ropes from the Irish whip and smashing Luger with flying clothesline.





Booker T: Luger suffering that German suplex from Joe then rolling over for the pin.
Ref: 1,2,3!

[Max]

Booker T: Man Joe is showing no respect for Luger, kicking him outta the ring with no remorse.
