FINAL CARD

[Guest Downcast]

"The War Machine" Rhino vs "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown

Rhino makes a better champion, all in all.

"The Phenominal One" AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe

Give it to Joe. Styles has already proven himself in TNA, but Joe still needs to do that.

Team 3D vs America's Most Wanted

Could go either way, so I'll just go for the Dudleyz.

Chris Sabin vs Christopher Daniels

Daniels gets another win of Sabin, and attacks after the match, continueing in the feud.

"Captain Charisma" Christian Cage vs Jeff Hardy

Jeff doesn't deserve to even nearly get the win here, Christian all the way.

Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Alex Shelley & Petey Williams vs Matt Bentley, James Gibson, Sonjay Dutt & Shocker

I really dislike the sudden pairing of X-Division faces against X-Division heels, as as far as I'm aware,the only X stable there is, is Generation Next.

Abyss vs Ron "The Truth" Killings

Abyss has the potential to be a future NWA champ, so he needs the win.

The Naturals vs Team Canada vs 3 Live Kru

Team Canada. because I can.

It's looking like two of the rumors swirling around are true. It appears that Shelton Benjamin and Paul London's contracts are running out and they do not wish to re-sign with the WWE due to their lack of push. Benjamin's supposedly ends this month and Paul London's is rumored to be up after January. It is VERY likely that both will be signed by TNA very quickly upon their arrival but TNA has also hinted at more surprises than just that coming.

The rumor mill has been running in high gear as TNA gears up for their Turning Point PPV. Apparently TNA officials are very high on Chris Sabin right now and that's why he's in this program with Christopher Daniels. They feel that Sabin is one of their top 5 X Division guys and that they should be pushing him as such. Sabin seems to be flourishing in crowd response as well as in ring performance. Look for him and Daniels to tear the place down on Sunday

Rumors are also running rampent on new signings from the Indy scene as TNA is apparently interested in signing several high profile men on the indy scene. Rumors flying around are of Low-Ki, Sting and several other big names. No current contracts are in place but if they come in place we will be the first to bring it to you.

Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles is locked in to be the Sub Main Event and it's flying around this Sunday that most if not all of TNA's Titles will change hands at Turning Point. The only belt that many sources feel has the most chance of staying where it is. Is the NWA Heavyweight Title. Rhino needs to gain more credibility as Champion is the common feeling.

Right now TNA is at a loss as to what to do with Abyss since losing Sabu to Drug Rehab. They don't know where to go with him as they had plans to push that feud another two months and now are at a loss as to where to go with Abyss. One thing is for sure, TNA has plans for Abyss to be a future Champion. When is the real question.

TNAWrestling.com Report

TNA has instituted a new system for determining their contenders in the X Division. TNA Officials feel that not everyone has had a fair opportunity with the domination at the top from AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in the last year. So TNA has come up with a new Ladder Ranking System. First come the first official rankings.

#1: AJ Styles (X Division Champion)

#2: Samoa Joe (#1 Contender)

#3: "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels

#4: Chris Sabin

#5: "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams

#6: To Be Named

#7: Elix Skipper (If he Decides to Wrestle in the X Division)

#8: Alex Shelley

#9: Austin Aries

#10: Roderick Strong

#11: James Gibson

#12: Matt Bentley

#13: Brian Danielson

#14: CM Punk

#15: Shocker

#16: Trent Acid

#17: Super Dragon

#18: Kevin Steen

#19: El Generico

#20: Shark Boy

If you are not on this list you have to beat #20 to claim his spot.

The Rules now for advancing in the ladder follows as such.

A Singles Victory will advance you one position if it's an X Division Ranking Match, You will lose one position if you take a loss obviously. Wins and Losses can occur in any way, shape or form.

In a 3 Way Dance. The winner advances two spots. The loser drops two and the third man gains nothing and loses nothing.

In a Fatal Fourway Match. The Winner advances three spots and the Loser drops three spots. No change for the other two.

In a Triangle Match. The Winner advances two spots. The first eliminated drops two spots, the second eliminated drops one spot.

In a Fatal Fourway Elimination Match. The Winner advances three spots, the first eliminated drops three, the second eliminated drops two and the last eliminated drops one spot.

Special Stipulation Matches such as rank vs rank matches as well as Ultimate X, Ladder, Table, Six Sides of Steel, No DQ and Pinfalls Count Anywhere among others will count for 2 Spots unless specified otherwise.

The #1 spot is always held by the Champion where as the #2 and #3 spots are eligible to challenge for the X Division Title. This will eliminate the top guys in the X Division from holding their spots without being contested and create a competitive way to gain Title shots. Which is the essence of the X Division!

Rumors are flying around about a huge amount of new signings by TNA due to their very good performances on IMPACT for Spike. They have signed Low-Ki whom is apparently going to fill their #6 spot on the X Division Ladder as well as signing Jay Lethal, Brian Danielson, Kevin Steen, El Generico, Trent Acid and a huge spoiler for us at 5Wrestling.com that the big rumor going about will be that Sting has signed a contract with TNA for one year!

Right now the main event scene for the heavyweights and the Tag Team Division are not set to go to ladder format like the X Division has but it remains to be seen whether this plan for the X Division will work out or if it will wind up becoming a big cluster of wrestlers and no consistency.

Right now the rumored plans for Sting flying around is that he will be the one feuding with the returning Jeff Jarrett after he comes back from his time off. These are all rumors but we have heard it from several sources.

Also the big news comes with TNA having scooped up several WWE stars apparently. One was released at his request and is in the process of completing his 90 day no compete clause. The other three. Three being the number we've heard. Overall being 2 X Division style wrestlers and 2 Heavyweight competitors. They had their contracts expire and decided they would rather go to TNA.

Those two X Division style wrestlers will be thrown into the Top 10 of the Ladder more than likely as TNA will want to push their new signings. The other two Heavyweight Wrestlers are actually rumored to possibly do a program against one another.

Rhino/Monty Brown is likely to continue through Turning Point as TNA will want to give Monty the opportunity for a real Heavyweight Title feud and see if he has developed to a point that he can run with the ball so to speak.

The promo video scene is the one that TNA used for Turning Point this year. It flashes through all the clips and the video until finally it comes live into the TNA IMPACT-ZONE.

The announcers cut out now for the entrances to our first match!

Team Canada vs 3 Live Kru (BG/Konnan) vs The Naturals

Team Canada is the first team to the ring. They come out onto the stage and their pyro goes off as Roode and D'Amore raise their arms and taunt the crowd while Eric Young just seemed startled by the pyro. They get down to the ring and climb into it. Then they await their opponents. The first team is The Naturals! Douglas and Stevens get a good ovation from the crowd. They get down to the ring after slapping some hands and then it's the Kru's Turn! Their music hits and BG James as well as Konnan make their way out onto the stage. Apparently things have smoothed over between the two.

Roode and Douglas started it off and for the first few moments of the match it was reversals back and forth between the two. Finally Roode got frustrated with this and aggressively tagged BG James in. He wound up facing off against Stevens whom was tagged in. BG gets the upper hand fairly quickly and begins taking it to Stevens with his juking and jiving right hands. BG then whips him into the corner and goes for a splash clothesline but Stevens moves out of the way just slightly and then grabs BG in a neckbreaker out of the corner and hits it. Stevens has control now and drags BG over to his team's corner and tags Douglas in. They hit a double team facebuster to knee on BG and Douglas covers him..1...2....kickout by BG. Douglas whips BG to the ropes and ducks the head for a back body drop but BG kicks him hard in the chest which knocks him to a standing base and then clotheslines the hell out of him.

BG crawls over to the Team Canada corner and tags in Eric Young whom wasn't paying attention. Young gets in the ring and begins stomping Douglas. He pounds on him for a moment and then drags him over to his team's corner and tags in Bobby Roode. Roode and Young begin pounding the hell out of Douglas in their corner till Young has to go back to the apron. Roode then whips Douglas to the ropes and goes for a huge lariat but Douglas ducks that as well as a back elbow and connects with a big cross body that gets a two count. Both men get up and Roode goes for another clothesline but Douglas ducks it and hooks the arms into a backslide...1...2...kickout. Douglas gets up before Roode and hooks him into a small package as he gets up..1...2...kickout. At this point both men get up and before Douglas can try another pin. Roode nails him in the gut with a Kitchen Sink knee that flips him over his knee and to the mat. At this point with Roode in control. Kip James comes out onto the stage and Konnan notices and seems to get pissed off. BG tries to calm him down and they begin arguing on the apron of the ring. At this point Booby Roode takes advantage as he waits for Douglas to get up. Eric Young runs into the ring and knocks Chase Stevens off the ring apron. Konnan jumps off the ring apron and begins walking up the ramp towards Kip James with BG James trying to stop him. Roode hits a NASTY Northern Lariat to the back of Douglas's head and neck to put him down. He then rolls him over and covers him..1....2....3! Team Canada has picked up a huge win and they celebrate in the ring as Kip James walks away before Konnan gets to him and Team Canada celebrates in the ring as we go to Tenay and Don West!

Generation Next & Petey Williams vs Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt, James Gibson & Shocker

(Elimination X Match)

The first team out to the ring is Petey Williams to the Team Canada theme. Nobody is accompanying him tonight to the ring. Once he's out to the ring, Generation Next comes out to Alex Shelley's music. They make their way down to the ring and once in the ring, Shocker's music hits and he gets a decent ovation from the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring and climbs up into the ring. Then James Gibson's music hits and he comes down to the ring to a bigger ovation but not as huge as he would like i'm sure. He climbs up into the ring and then we get a big ovation for the Playa from the Himalaya...Sonjay Dutt! Then once Sonjay is in the ring we get Matt Bentley's music hitting and everyone in the IMPACT-Zone starts doing the Bentley Bounce. He comes down to the ring and climbs inside with his team. The bell sounds and Sonjay Dutt will start off with Alex Shelley tonight! They lock up and Sonjay takes Shelley into an armbar which Shelley rolls to the mat and back up to his feet and reverses it. Sonjay runs to the ropes and flips up so his legs bounce off the top rope and he comes back and catches Shelley in a reverse DDT to the mat quickly and goes for the quick cover..1....kickout just before two!

Shelley gets annoyed and runs at Dutt but Dutt hits a drop toe hold on him and swivels over him into a headlock. Shelley reverses the Headlock once he gets to his feet to a hammerlock which he then takes into a headlock, then down with a fireman's carry and locks in a chinlock from that. Shelley throwing down the clinic early on here! Shelley then picks Sonjay up and whips him to his team's corner and runs in with a stiff forearm shot. Then he tags in Austin Aries whom leaps over the top rope and begins drilling Dutt with stiff forearm shots and then whips him to a neutral corner and comes running in and leaps in the air to deliver a leaping forearm shot but Dutt moves and hits the ropes and comes back with a running basement dropkick to Aries's left knee. Dutt then runs to the ropes and hits a running legdrop on Aries and then tags in Shocker. Shocker delivers some right hands to Aries and then whips him to the ropes and looks like he's going to setup for a back body drop but Aries out of nowhere hooks him into a Suplex position and HITS A HUGE BRAINBUSTER ON HIM!!!! Aries then calls for the 450 and goes to the top rope as Generation Next and Petey knock Shocker's teammates off the apron and Aries hits a big 450 down onto Shocker and the referee counts it..1....2.....3!!! (Elimination #1: Shocker/ Team Gen Next 4 - Team Bentley 3)

Quickly Bentley climbs back up onto the apron and steps into the ring with Aries. Bentley runs at Aries but Aries ducks the attempted clothesline and Roderick Strong which is back on his team's apron delivers a cheap knee to the back of Bentley. Aries then whips Bentley to the ropes again and tries for a vicious clothesline but Bentley ducks it and stops, takes one step back and BAM SUPERKICK!!! Bentley covers Aries as a shocked Gen Next team tries to get into the ring..1...2....3!! Too late! (Elimination #2: Austin Aries/ Team Gen Next 3 - Team Bentley 3)

Petey Williams climbs into the ring and begins taking it to Bentley with hard right hands and whips him to the ropes. Bentley comes back off the ropes and Williams jumps in the air, Bentley just drops an atomic Drop knee down so Williams slams down on it. Then a body slam by Bentley and a high knee drop which gains a short two count on Petey. Bentley then tags in Gibson whom climbs into the ring and swivels behind Petey with a waistlock and they fight over to a neutral corner on it and Gibson goes for a German Suplex but Petey hooks his body around Gibson and instead rolls him up near the ropes and holds the ropes with one hand so Gibson can't kick out and the ref doesn't see it!...1...2....3!!! (Elimination #3: James Gibson/ Team Gen Next 3 - Team Bentley 2)

Sonjay comes back into the ring and runs at Petey but Petey lays him out with a nasty dropkick to the jaw. Petey then begins calling for the Canadian Destroyer. He waits and grabs Sonjay once he's up and tries for it but Sonjay catches him as he's trying to go over and instead HURLS PETEY DOWN WITH AN ULTIMATE SPINEBUSTER AND BRIDGES IT OVER FOR A PIN!!!!..1....2....3! Williams tried to kick out but it was too late but quickly Strong gets into the ring (Elimination #4: Petey Williams/ 2-2)

Strong begins pounding on Sonjay and whips him to the ropes again and Sonjay comes off and does his Three Revolutions headscissors to a HUGE Pop from the crowd. Sonjay then dropkicks Strong in the face as he tries to get up. Sonjay then picks Strong up and puts him into the corner as he moves out a step. He grabs Strong by the head and runs up the ropes and kicks Shelley on his way around and DRIVES Strong down with a Tornado DDT! He then covers Strong..1....2....Kickout! Sonjay calls for the end and goes to the top for his crazy finisher. He leaps off the top rope and as he comes down, somehow Strong gets his knees up on Sonjay which pretty much puts him out right there! Strong though picks him up into a Torture Rack and then throws him over his head down into a vicious backbreaker! Strong covers Sonjay and Bentley tries to get into the ring to break it up but Shelley intercepts him and throws him into the Border-City Stretch!!! Strong covering Dutt..1....2.....3! And a moment later Shelley forces Bentley to tap out to him from the Stretch and the bell sounds announcing the winners of the match as Generation Next and Petey Williams!

Abyss vs Ron "The Truth" Killings

Killings is the first out to a nice ovation from the crowd. He gets a couple "Truth" chants as he heads to the ring and does his dance down to the ring. He does all of his normal dancing in the ring and then stands in wait for "The Monster" Abyss! Abyss's music hits and he comes out as his pyro hits and does his pose with James Mitchell behind him. Abyss stalks down to the ring and climbs inside with Mitchell on the outside. The bell sounds and it's demolition time. This isn't a fair match from the get go really. Abyss attacks viciously and relentlessly from the start with right hands and clubbing blows to Killings's back. Abyss then whips Killings to the ropes and gives him such a hard lariat. It was surprising his head remained on. Abyss then picks Killings up and Chokeslams him INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!!! Abyss is on a rampage here against Killings! Abyss then grabs a staggered Killings as he comes out of the corner into one of the most vicious Black Hole Slams ever seen!!! He then covers Killings..1...2....3!!! Abyss has destroyed Ron "The Truth" Killings and at this point Mitchell is seen outside the ring screaming "Finish Him!" Abyss then rolls out of the ring and grabs a Steel Chair and gets back into the ring with it. He begins smashing it down on the Truth over and over again and then slams it down on the mat and hits another hainous Black Hole Slam TO THE STEEL CHAIR!!! Truth is left laying by a seeming pleased Abyss and an even more pleased James Mitchell as we go to a promo for TNA DVD's!

Mike Tenay: That was a rediculous beating and where was TNA Security to stop it!

Don West: I don't think any of them were willing to get in the ring to stop Abyss, Tenay!

Mike Tenay: Well while that was horrible we need to move on and get ready for our next match. It's between two men whom have had some real big issues with each other as of late and now that there is a Ladder Ranking system in TNA. This match also has implications involving Contendership for the X Division Title because the winner takes over the #3 spot and slots themselves into Contendership for a Title Match!

We begin to see a video package that doesn't have really any interviews cut between the two men but does have Mike Tenay do an over voice on it. Explaining how passionate Chris Sabin is about respect, honor and the code of the X Division and how Christopher Daniels violated that and him at Genesis and has continued to over the last few weeks. The video shows alot of their big moves and the beatdowns by Daniels in the last few weeks from IMPACT and Genesis. Then it shows Sabin finally getting a bit of retribution and then we cut to the arena where we are set for more X Division Action!

Chris Sabin vs "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels

(Pinfalls Count Anywhere, X Division Rank Match)

Christopher Daniels music is the first to hit and he comes walking out with his signature pose and his hooded robe on. He gets down to ringside and yanks the hood off, saying how tonight will be the Turning Point in his quest to get his X Division Title Back. Then once Daniels is in the ring and his robe is off. "Hail Sabin!, HAIL SABIN!" Sabin then comes RUNNING down the ramp as his music hits and the crowd erupts as he gets right into it with Daniels as the bell sounds. Both men begin throwing right hands and forearms furiously. Sabin finally gets the better of it and backs Daniels into the ropes and knocks him down with a couple clotheslines in a row. Then whips him to the corner and hits a Leaping Forearm shot to his jaw to stagger the former X Division Champ! Daniels rolls out of the ring but Sabin is not having any of that as he comes off the ropes and springboards up off the top rope and hits AN INSANE SPRINGBOARD MISSLE DROPKICK TO DANIELS ON THE OUTSIDE!!! Sabin crawls over to Daniels after recovering a moment and covers him...1...2...kickout by Daniels.

Daniels goes for a clothesline but it's ducked by Sabin. He swings with both his arms back at Sabin but Sabin ducks that to and Sabin hits a running dropkick on Daniels to knock him down. Then Sabin before Daniels can even get to his feet hits a running one footed dropkick to the side of Daniels head and gets on him for the cover...1...2....kickout by Daniels.

Sabin picks Daniels up and sets him up for a powerbomb. He hoists Daniels up but Daniels uses the momentum and flips out of it and lands on his feet and hits a couple stiff forearm shots to Sabin and tries for the Angel's Wings but Sabin blocks it and instead with Daniels's arms locked he bridges him over for a pin..1....2...kickout by Daniels! Daniels grabs a weakened Sabin and hurls him over in a big Sambo Suplex and goes for another cover..1....2....kickout by Sabin again! Daniels calls for the B.M.E and goes to the corner.

SABIN CATCHES HIM AND POWERBOMBS HIM DOWN!!! Sabin holds onto the pin..1....2...shoulder out by Daniels. Sabin picks Daniels up and throws him to the outside and backs up waiting for Daniels to get up. Daniels is grabbing a Steel Chair from under the side of the ring as he gets up and Sabin gets set to run at Daniels and goes for a Suicide Dive through the 2nd rope at Daniels but Daniels SWINGS THE CHAIR AND CLOCKS SABIN WITH IT AS HE GOES THROUGH THE ROPES!!! The crowd instantly begins chanting "Holy Shit" as Sabin may be done. Daniels then grabs Sabin and covers him but the ref takes a moment to get to the outside..1....2....shoulder up by Sabin! Daniels can't believe it and picks Sabin up and drags him over to the announce position. He climbs onto the announce table and calls for the Angel's Wings again but Sabin again blocks it somehow and Back Body Drops Daniels to the floor from the Announce Table!

He covers Daniels though..1....2....kickout by Daniels. Sabin can't believe it and he gets up slowly and drags Daniels up the stage closest to the announce table and they get to the top of the stage and Sabin throws Daniels into the side of the set.

AMW's music hits as James Storm and Chris Harris come walking out onto the stage but before they get any farther Team 3D comes running up from behind and they jump AMW.

Devon then rolls him into the ring and begins searching under the ring for a table. Bubba rolls Storm into the ring and grabs a table as well on the opposite side of the ring. Bubba and Devon try to push the tables into the ring at the same time. Harris and Storm take control back by dropkicking the tables back into Team 3D's heads. Storm and Harris decide to go the double team route and go outside after Bubba. They begin clubbing him on the outside and then Storm grabs a six pack of beer from under the ring, takes the cap off one and drinks it a moment and then SMASHES IT AGAINST BUBBA'S FOREHEAD!!! Bubba begins bleeding from his head and at this point Devon comes FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES TAKING BOTH MEMBERS of AMW OUT IN A SUICIDE DIVE!!!!

The referee is down at this point though and Harris gets back into the ring with a steel chair and CRACKS BOTH DEVON AND BUBBA IN THE HEAD WITH CHAIRSHOTS!!!! He pulls Storm from the wreckage of the table and puts Devon in his place and he crawls over and wakes the referee up. He sees Devon in the wreckage of the table and he calls for the bell!!! America's Most Wanted has retained in the cheapest of ways! They escape with their Titles as Bubba and Devon are left unconcious in the ring!

"Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs "The Phenominal One" AJ Styles

(X Division Title Match)

Samoa Joe is the first out to the ring once the wreckage is cleared from the last match and the crowd begins chanting "Joe" over and over again as he makes his way out to the ring. He takes his towel off from around his neck once he's in the ring and then AJ Styles's music hits and his pyro goes off immediately above the entryway as he comes out. Once it's done coming down, he looks out from under his hood and throws it off into his pose. Then slapping his chest and begins walking down to the ring. Styles comes down to the ring with the X Division Title around his waist. He hands it off to the referee whom holds it up in the air and then the bell sounds as both men get set for battle. They circle each other and then lock up. Joe overpowers Styles back into a corner and goes for a chop but AJ ducks it and out of the corner. Joe goes for a stiff kick but AJ evades that too. Joe bullrushes AJ into a corner and tries to chop him again but AJ ducks out of it and Joe turns around into a vicious roundhouse kick from AJ Styles. AJ then whips Joe to the ropes but Joe reverses it and sends AJ in. AJ ducks a clothesline and Joe runs to the opposite ropes but AJ stops and as Joe comes back at him a HUGE Dropkick connecting straight to the jaw of Samoa Joe. The dropkick rocks the big man and he hits the mat. Styles stays on Joe with stomps and stiff kicks to his back as he tries to get up.

Styles hits the ropes and looks to be going for a clothesline but Joe runs at him with his HUGE Powerslam. Joe then get up and yells down at Styles and runs to the ropes, bouncing off and hitting that vicious kneedrop to the throat on AJ! Joe then gets into the cover...1...2...kickout! Joe picks AJ up and begins hammering him with stiff jabs and chops that back AJ into a corner of the ring. Joe backs up and hits his running high knee to the head of Styles that knocks him down to the mat. Joe then begins the facewash on Styles in the corner and runs to the ropes and DESTROYS STYLES IN THE CORNER WITH THE YAKUZA KICK that seems to run through AJ's Face! Joe pulls Styles out of the corner and covers him..1....2..kickout by AJ. Joe gets up and picks AJ up as well but Styles pulls Joe down into a small package...1..2...kickout by Joe. Both men get up and Styles pulls a school boy on Joe..1...2...kickout. AJ and Joe get up again and this time JOE SENDS AJ FLYING WITH A LARIAT!!! Styles ends up doing a full Shooting Star Press down from the clothesline and Joe covers Styles..1....2...kickout! The crowd is chanting "Joe" over and over again.

Joe locks in the Crossface on Styles quickly before he can recover and Styles has to crawl to the ropes and gets there so the hold is broken. Joe then picks Styles up and hammers his head off one corner's turnbuckle and then begins hitting some more stiff forearm shots and backs up, running in for a Yakuza Kick but Styles avoids the contact and Joe winds up crotching himself somewhat as well as running into the turnbuckles! Styles backs up to the other corner and comes running at Joe and leaps into the air..JOE CATCHES HIM AND BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEXES HIM OVERHEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! Joe then yanks Styles out of the corner and covers him...1...2....kickout! Joe seems to be getting a bit frustrated at this point. Joe picks Styles up and begins hammering him with knees which staggers AJ back a step...PELE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Joe is staggered and Styles gets up and screams to get himself pumped up and puts Joe between his legs, in Styles Clash position but Joe won't move when he tries to pick him up. Styles delivers a NASTY knee to the head of Joe and Styles screams as he picks Joe up..not for the CLASH BUT FOR A HUGE POWERBOMB!!!! Styles then floats into the cover..1...2...kickout by Joe! Joe rolls out of the ring and is on the announce position side of the ring as he gets back to his feet...Roxbury Flop by STYLES OVER THE TOP ROPE DOWN INTO JOE!!! (Running Side Shooting Star Press Over the Top Rope, To the Outside!)

Styles picks Joe up and rolls him into the ring. There is almost a constant "TNA" chant or rivaling "Let's Go AJ" vs "Let's Go Joe" chants. Styles climbs to the top rope as Joe lays in the ring and AJ COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SPIRAL TAP BUT JOE GETS HIS KNEES UP!!! Before AJ can even hit the mat after the move being blocked. Joe snatches him as he's falling off his knees..Kokina Clutch!!! (Rear Naked Choke) The crowd is going insane at this point but Styles rolls himself with Joe towards the ropes. It looks like Styles is fading but he gets Joe over one final time and gets his foot on the ropes!!!! Joe has to break the hold and he seems exasperated at the fact that Styles got to the ropes..nobody has EVER broken the Kokina Clutch! Joe grabs Styles and sets him up on the top turnbuckle for a Muscle Buster but Styles drives a knee up into Joe's head which knocks him back away from Styles corner. Styles gets up and leaps off the top rope for a Hurricarana but Joe DRIVES him down with a powerbomb but holds onto his legs..1...2....Styles gets a shoulder up so Joe floats it over into a STF!!! Styles screams in pain but crawls towards the ropes. He crawls as the crowd is screaming insanely. Styles slams his head back into Joe's and Joe breaks the hold as he rolls away a moment holding his nose. Styles gets up slowly as does Joe. Joe is busted open on his lip and his nose is bleeding. Styles gets up and gets himself pumped up again with a scream and hoists Joe up into a Torture Rack submission!!! Are you kidding me?! Styles racks him for a few seconds and then spins him out into a DVD Variation and covers him...1....2...kickout! Styles calls for the end by yelling to the crowd "Clash!"

Styles picks Joe up and tries for the Clash. He gets one leg over but Joe blocks the other leg and holds onto it until Styles falls over and he goes from a single leg crab from the rollthrough and picks Styles up enough to drive some vicious knees into his head. He then picks up a weakened Styles and stands him up and hits the ropes. DELIVERING A NASTY JOE KICK TO AJ! Then running to the ropes and hitting a huge Senton Splash on Styles and covers him..1....2....shoulder up by Styles! Joe picks Styles up in disbelief and puts Styles on the top rope to try for the Muscle Buster again but Styles kicks him away and drops down onto the Apron. AJ then goes for a springboard but Joe gets AJ's legs out from underneath him! AJ lands on the top rope, stomach first and Joe leans down and pulls AJ UP INTO THE MUSCLE BUSTER AND HITS A HUGE RUNNING MUSCLE BUSTER!!!! Joe then gets the Kokina Clutch locked in and wraps his legs around AJ. This time AJ has no strength to go anywhere and he passes out! The crowd erupts, some in cheers and some in boo's as the bell sounds and Samoa Joe is handed the X Division Championship! Joe poses once in the ring and then leaves the ring with the X Division Title in hand..a New Champion has been crowned!

"The War Machine" Rhino vs "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown

(NWA Heavyweight Championship Match)

Monty Brown's music is the first to hit and this is a tough job to follow that kind of X Division Title Match! Monty comes to the ring in his normal attire and climbs into the ring after posing for his pyro by the stage. He gets into the ring and rubs his nose against the ring ropes. Then Rhino's music hits and the crowd erupts as his pyro begins exploding on the stage and Rhino comes running out and down to the ring. He drops the belt once he's in the ring and he begins going at it with Brown! They begin slugging it out and Monty Brown gains control after a moment and whips Rhino into a corner and follows him in with a splash clothesline. Brown then pulls Rhino out and hits a vertical suplex on him. He covers him for a two count. Rhino rolls to the outside and Monty Brown follows him to the outside. Rhino gets beaten up the ramp towards the stage by Brown. Both men begin slugging it out on the top of the stage as the referee tries to get them to go back to the ring.

Brown though has other plans and slams Rhino's head off the set and then backs up about five steps and...BROWN HITS THE POUNCE ON RHINO KNOCKING HIM OFF THE STAGE AND RHINO FALLS THROUGH THE EQUIPMENT AND TABLES BELOW!!!!! Brown walks back to the ring and rolls inside and the referee gets back to the ring too and has no choice but to count..1...2....3....4....5...6....7....8....9......10!!! The referee has counted Rhino out and the bell sounds but the belt will not change hands on this decision! Quickly the concern turns to the Champ where he hasn't moved since that Pounce knocked him off the stage. EMT's quickly come to aid Rhino and we go off the air tonight from Turning Point with the image of an unconcious Rhino in the wreckage left by Monty Brown!

After his loss to Samoa Joe at Turning Point. He has fallen to Fourth in the Division due to losing his Title Match (Loss in Title Match knocks you down three spots)

Samoa Joe has now climbed to the #1 spot and virtue of his victory over Christopher Daniels at Turning Point. Chris Sabin is now ranked #2 on the X Division Ladder and is in line for the next shot at Samoa Joe. Though I am sure Christopher Daniels at #3 would like to say something about that. Watch in the coming weeks as X Division Wrestlers rise and fall.

Rhino's injuries are not said to be anything serious but it did cause him to lose his match to Monty Brown. But this will assure a return bout between the two as Monty Brown gained a victory but not the Title from Rhino. Why would Brown knock Rhino off the stage like that knowing that Rhino probably wouldn't be able to answer a 10 count? We'll need to find this out and much more coming up on IMPACT this Saturday Night!

[Kapalua2483]

Turning Point fallout will happen on IMPACT this Saturday Night as there was only one new Champion from Turning Point. "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe defeated AJ Styles for the X Division Championship. Tonight he will go one on one with Elix Skipper whom apparently is looking to raise his stock in the X Division and is tired of teaming with David Young.

Rhino was injured at Turning Point but how severely is still the major question. We will find out more tonight as well as words from Monty Brown.

Chris Sabin gained a big victory and one step closer to an X Division Title Match when he beat The Fallen Angel at Turning Point. Tonight Sabin will have to fend off Alex Shelley though.

Abyss destroyed Ron "The Truth" Killings at Turning Point and apparently Larry Zbysko has taken notice and has entered Abyss into a Tournament for the newly created NWA United States Championship! Abyss is in this tournament along with fourteen other men. Why Fourteen? Because Abyss has a bye!

Is everything alright in 3 Live Kru Land? There seems to be issues brewing because of Kip James. We may find out more tonight! Plus...HE IS COMING...

A Legend in Professional Wrestling is coming to TNA. Tune in tonight to find out who it is!

America's Most Wanted vs The Naturals

(NWA World Tag Team Championship Match)

This matchup was VERY good in the wrestling aspect but not alot of people were into this matchup. It ended up with several near falls for The Naturals whom almost picked up the straps but in typical fashion as of late. AMW picks up the victory with a beer bottle smash over Andy Douglas's head by Chris Harris. It looks like AMW is going to do a Death Sentence to him until Team 3D come running down to the ring and brawl with AMW, sending them off to the locker room and Bubba gets on the microphone as they leave.

Brother Ray: Harris, Storm. You might think you sons of bitches are sly but not as sly as us. See the Championship Committee doesn't think we've resolved anything yet. So at Final Resolution it's going to be Team 3D's final shot at you boys. Team 3D vs America's Most Wanted. Those NWA Tag Titles are gonna be on the line...SIX SIDES OF STEEL!

Bubba drops the mic and the crowd goes nuts as we take a commercial break

When we return we cut to an interview that was taped earlier today from Rhino's home in Detroit! He is sitting on a Leather couch in street clothes as he begins to talk.

Rhino: Monty Brown. You beat me at Turning Point. You didn't get a 1 2 3. Or make me tap out. No you chose to take a cheap shbeep route. You hit your Pounce and knocked me off the stage. It busted me up inside pretty good too. But I will assure you this. At Final Resolution I am going to get another crack at you and it's going to be Anything Goes, Pinfalls Anywhere in the Building. I Can't WAIT. Because I am going to take this fight to you. I AM A WAR MACHINE MONTY! I Can dish it out just as good as I can take it and in three weeks time I am going to beat you within an inch of your life. Once i'm done with you. You'll be crawling out of the Serengetty!

We come back from a final commercial to Jeff Jarrett making his return and coming to the ring with a microphone in hand. He climbs inside the ring and begins to talk to the Impact-Zone faithful!

Jeff Jarrett: A while back I was attacked by some unknown assailant whom TNA Management hasn't been able to track down. I have finally recovered from this cowardly event and I am here tonight to call out the man who took me out. It's that god damn simple. I am ready to fight tonight and i'm gonna take on whoever fesses up to jumping me!

Sting's new theme (Heard at Final Resolution 06) suddenly hits and Scorpion symbols begin to appear on the tron as well as other images and suddenly the crowd ERUPTS as Sting comes out onto the stage and sprints for the ring. He takes on Jarrett and takes the fight to Jarrett. With right hands and clotheslines and eventully locks in the Scorpion Deathlock on Jarrett until AMW comes running out with Gail Kim to help the former NWA Champion. Sting makes a hasty retreat up the ramp and as we go off the air tonight. Sting is seen doing his "WOOOOOOOOOO" scream from the ramp!

We found out after IMPACT last week that the man that took Jeff Jarrett out was none other than The man they call Sting! Why did he take out Jeff Jarrett and why has he come to TNA? Hopefully these questions are to be answered this Saturday on the New Years Eve Edition of TNA IMPACT!

It is rumored so far and we have nothing at TNAWrestling.com to say anything either way to say whether the NWA Champion will be at IMPACT on the 31st but Monty Brown will be in the house for sure.

Plus the NWA United States Title Tournament will continue on IMPACT!

[Kapalua2483]

The aftermath of what happened last week to end IMPACT will be felt tonight as the Stinger will be in the house and has an open mic invitation from TNA Management to explain why he attacked Jeff Jarrett. It's already been signed for Final Resolution. Sting vs Jeff Jarrett.

Samoa Joe looks to continue his dominance in the X Division. He will face off against Roderick Strong in an X Division Ranking Match. Will the Champion's reign of terror come to an end at the hands of Generation Next?

Petey Williams will take on Austin Aries in a combination match. It will be an X Division Ranking Match but it is also a 1st round match in the NWA United States Title Tournament.

Lance Hoyt, Christian Cage & Abyss are all qualified for the 2nd round. There are five more spots remaining. That match is one spot and another spot will be decided when Konnan will face off against 3 Live Kru's thorn...Kip James!

On top of this. AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, AMW, Team 3D and more will be in the house on IMPACT!

[Kapalua2483]

We get our normal intro tonight to IMPACT! Our usual intro video as well as fireworks to kick the show off. Then once all of that is complete. Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us to the show!

Mike Tenay: Hello everyone and welcome to the IMPACT-Zone! It's going to get heated before all is said and done tonight. Sting is in the house and has an open mic to come out and explain why he took the fight to Jeff Jarrett before even debuting! Beyond that the NWA United States Tournament continues tonight with Kip James facing off against 3 Live Kru Member..Konnan.

Don West: There is also X Division Galore as Samoa Joe will face Roderick Strong in non-title action as well as Petey Williams taking on Austin Aries but that match is also a 1st round match in the US Title tournament! Beyond ALL of that. Rumor has it that while we know Monty Brown is here. It's flying around that "The War Machine" and Heavyweight Champion Rhino WILL be here tonight but that's just a rumor!

"The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams vs Austin Aries

(X Division Ranked & 1st Round NWA United States Title Tourny Match)

This is a VERY good match between these two. It's back and forth with several near falls between the two men. Aries hits his backflip Samoan Drop and goes for the 450 splash but Williams avoids the contact and hits a HUGE Canadian Destroyer on Aries to gain the pinfall and the victory to Advance in the Tournament as well as on the Ladder!

It ends up being Team 3D hitting a 3D on Chris Harris and Bubba getting the cover to win the match over AMW!

We go backstage to seemingly the bowels of the IMPACT-Zone where James Mitchell is standing there with Abyss behind him making his intimidating screams.

James Mitchell: It was deemed that "The Monster" Abyss was too good to even have to compete in the 1st round of this so called Tournament going on. It's not really a tournament though. It's getting in line to be destroyed by this Weapon of Mass Destruction! Abyss! He will Black Hole Slam every single man and woman that gets in his path on his way to the NWA United States Title and he will move on past that to take the NWA Heavyweight Title from Rhino. So I hope that every man that is trying so hard to qualify for the second round understands that they will have to face "The Monster" Abyss and when you run into him. It is the end of the line for every single person that does!

(1st Round NWA United States Title Tournament)

This was a back and forth hate filled matchup between these two men. For whatever reasons that Kip James and Konnan hate each other. It was shown just how much they wish each other's destruction in this match. Late in the match the referee was knocked down by a rolling clothesline from Konnan that Kip avoided. Kip then hit a low blow on Konnan and went outside to grab a chair. At this point BG James comes running down to the ring and pleads with his brother whom has the chair to not use it. Kip actually does listen and drops the chair on the mat..WHICH KONNAN PICKS UP AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS KIP JAMES WITH IT!!!! BG begins screaming at Konnan, demanding to know what the hell he is doing. Konnan shows him by DESTROYING BG JAMES WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD!!!! Both men are busted open and Konnan slaps on the Tequila Sunrise on Kip James and the referee comes to enough to see Kip James is unconcious and calls for the bell! Konnan stands up and grins very devilishly as he leaves the ring, leaving both James Brothers laying in pools of their own blood!

Now is the point after this match where Sting's music hits and he comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd. He has hit signature bat in hand and has a microphone in the other hand. He is here to talk tonight and stands on the stage, walking back and forth as he begins to talk!

Sting: I've had fans coming up to me all week asking me. "Why Stinger? Why did you take out Jeff Jarrett" Well i'm here tonight to answer that question. You see Jeff Jarrett was like a leech. He was sucking the life's blood out of TNA. I came here to stop him from doing to TNA what he did to WCW. His politics and game-playing in WCW is what brought it to it's knees and TNA has too much promise to see it suffer the same fate. So I put a stop to it. Now it wasn't the most honorable way to begin this war that I am sure the "Queen of the Mountain" will wage against me but I didn't feel he deserved that respect. He never earned it in my experience with him. So from now on, this isn't Jeff Jarrett's show. It's each and every one of TNA's fans show!

The crowd erupts as it seems the explanation was more than what they needed to not be mad at him. Though not too many were losing sleep over Jarrett being attacked as it was. Now we go to our final commercial break as Sting's music is playing and he heads to the back!

"The Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs Jeff Hardy

(Main Event)

This was a pretty good match till about the eight minute mark where it was Monty Brown for the rest of the way and the match finished off with a HUGE POUNNNNNNCCCEEEEE..Period. Monty gained the pinfall and just as soon as he did. Rhino's music hit and the Champ comes running down to the ring and he's there to fight! Both men begin exchanging right hands back and forth with Monty gaining an advantage after a moment and he hits the ropes to go for a Pounce but RHINO GORES HIM THROUGH THE RING ROPES BEFORE HE CAN COME BACK OFF THEM!!!! Rhino grabs a Steel Chair from ringside and begins beating Monty Brown mercilessly with it until security comes sprinting down to seperate them. IMPACT goes off the air tonight with the image of Rhino holding a steel chair high in the air with his arms raised!

TNAWrestling News and Notes

The second Round Matchups are taking shape for the NWA United States Championship Tournament. Lance Hoyt is currently set to take on Konnan. As well as AJ Styles will be facing "The Monster" Abyss!

There are three spots left in the 2nd round. With Lance Hoyt, Konnan, AJ Styles, Abyss & Petey Williams having qualified.

Now it has been announced that TNA has made..not one..and not two but three MAJOR signings! Now while two have not been announced. One has and it's none other than Former WWE Champion, EDGE! His contract ran out after the new year and TNA had been in negotiations with him immediately and got a deal done.

In other news Chris Jericho has actually become a full fledged Free Agent but his contract demands seem to be a bit too high for TNA to meet as obviously WWE was not willing to continue paying him.

Expect TNA's three newest acquisitions to debut on IMPACT this coming week!

TNA has also signed most of it's roster to written contracts to save money as paying per appearance was causing the company to be in the red at the end of each month by a small amount. TNA Management feels that this move will allow them to continue to persue high profile signings as well as end each month in the black.

Also in other news..Apparently to recover from losing a former WWE Champion. WWE has gone out and signed Diamond Dallas Page, New Jack and Steve Corino...We must commend the E on it's very quality signings.

Tie-Breaker question is: Whom the new Signing is that is waiting for his 90 day no compete clause to expire.

Clue is: That he was once in a 3 Way Dance that he won in another company against Low-Ki and AJ Styles

Edge, former WWE Champion is going to be in the house tonight as his first night under a TNA Contract! It will be huge when he debuts in front of a packed IMPACT-Zone crowd.

There will also be two other big time debuts at IMPACT. What factors will these be in the US Title Tournament?

It's already been announced that Edge will compete for the first time in a TNA Ring when he takes on the Phenominal AJ Styles!

Also there will be two of the final three second round matches in the US Title Tourny. Only one has been announced as it is Alex Shelley vs Jay Lethal.

BG James has left TNA for personal reasons for the time being but it won't stop Kip James from seeking revenge for his family on Konnan. Where does the Truth stand in all this?

Also getting ready for the second round it will be Christian Cage vs Lance Hoyt. One on one tonight!

Petey Williams will also be taking on Ron "The Truth" Killings in one on one competition!

Featured Matches

"The Phenominal" AJ Styles vs Edge

"Captain Charisma" Christian Cage vs Lance Hoyt

"The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams vs Ron "The Truth" Killings

[Kapalua2483]

We start the show with our normal IMPACT video and then fireworks begin to go off in the arena once the video is finished and instead of having Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us. Edge's theme for TNA hits (apparently Rob Zombie has some love cause it's his old theme done by him!) Edge comes out to a HUGE amount of boo's. He makes his way down to the ring in jeans and a leather jacket with a T-Shirt underneath it and smirks as he steps into the ring and grabs a microphone from ringside.

Edge: So this is the Big O. Where supposedly the next generation of Wrestling is going to come from. Well all I see down here is some Southerners with dreams. I Personally can't stand any of you trailor trash pieces of crap.

The crowd begins to chant "F U and "You Screwed Matt" over and over again

Edge: YA THAT'S RIGHT! I did screw Matt. And his girlfriend, over and over again but this is not WWE. We're not going to have a little fight and then when I throw my weight around in the office. He loses to me and goes to the other show never to be seen again. I don't have to deal with that here..

OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAAA!!!! The crowd erupts as Edge swings towards the entryway where his video and music is playing from and then from out of nowhere...MATT HARDY THROUGH THE CROWD!!! He begins beating the ever living piss out of Edge. Putting some of the hardest boots i've ever seen one man put to another. Edge runs away like as JR would say. "A Scolded Dog!" and Hardy is screaming at him from the ring as TNA Security tries to seperate the apparent "Two" New signings that they have pulled off!

Jerry Lynn vs ???

(1st Round NWA United States Title Tourny Match)

Jerry Lynn is the first to the ring to a pretty nice ovation from the crowd and then we await this surprise entrant into the match. This very hard rock theme begins hitting and...SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK! There's the third signing TNA was talking about! Shelton slides into the ring and Lynn nods to him as if to give him a tip of the cap and extends his hand. They shake hands and we have ourselves a good old fashioned wrestling match. The match is back and forth and VERY good between these two men. Lynn hits his Tornado DDT and his springboard cross body to the outside on Shelton. Shelton hits his Dragon Whip as well as a NASTY Dragon Suplex with a bridge that gets a long two count. Shelton hits a very nasty Double Underhook Driving Powerbomb that he sits out with and gets another long two count. Lynn a few moments later goes for the Cradle Piledriver but Shelton fights it off and back body drops Lynn out of it. Lynn gets up right into the Exploder Slam from Shelton! Shelton covers him up..1....2....3! Shelton Benjamin gets a big win upon his debut and has taken Jerry Lynn on and beaten the X Division Legend!

(Winner: Shelton Benjamin)

Alex Shelley vs Jay Lethal

(1st Round NWA United States Title Tourny Match)

This was a very solid match as well though the crowd was much less behind this one than the last one. Despite this Jay Lethal was pretty impressive in this match. Lethal hit one of the nastiest Roundhouse kicks i've ever seen to Shelley in this match but only got a two. Shelley gets the pinfall win when he hits his finisher (It's pretty much the Eye of the Hurricane) and picks up the win and advances in the tournament!

Before we go to commercial break we get a video package highlighting the feud between Monty Brown and the Champ Rhino. Rhino has seemed to have the upper hand alot in this feud but Monty Brown hit the one shot that did the most damage. Will it be enough to give him a big enough advantage at Final Resolution to let "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown take home the NWA Heavyweight Title?

"Captain Charisma" Christian Cage vs Lance Hoyt

This was a clean matchup surprisingly from Christian. He got beat up alot of this match by Hoyt but took a shortcut with a low blow and hit his Unprettier to pick up the pinfall. This was to show off a bit for the 2nd round before it starts really. We think it's over until Jeff Hardy comes running out from behind Christian and spins him around and DROPS HIM WITH ONE OF THE NASTIEST SPIKE DDT'S I'VE EVER SEEN!!! The crowd gasps at how nasty it was and Jeff climbs to the top..SWANTON BOMB! Hardy shakes his finger as if it's not enough and goes outside to get two chairs and he lays Christian Parallel to him on the chairs...SWANTON BOMB THAT FOLDS CHRISTIAN IN TWO! We go to commercial break with Hardy playing to the fans as Christian got beat up pretty good here.

Samoa Joe vs El Generico

(Non-Title Match)

This was an utter destruction of a match. Samoa Joe hit two Muscle Busters for fun and got a simple pinfall with one foot. Joe gloated over how easily he crushed his opponent tonight!

We are walking backstage where we see Sting heading for the arena when suddenly from behind IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD...CRACK! Jarrett knocks Sting unconcious with a Chair and is heard as he's pulled away by TNA Officials..."HOW DOES IT FEEL STING?!" We go to commercial break after this vile attack!

"The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams vs Ron "The Truth" Killings

This was a very good matchup crowd wise as well as how good the match actually was. These two went at it for ten minutes with seemingly no end in sight. Killings though went for an Axe Kick and Williams avoided it just barely and as Killings landed on his feet. Petey snagged him immediately and just WENT HITTING A HUGE CANADIAN DESTROYER! This gets the easy pinfall on Killings!

Edge vs "The Phenominal" AJ Styles

This match was also very good from start to finish. Edge played the hugely over heel while AJ was the face in peril for most of this match. AJ made a comeback after a few minutes though and hit a huge Pele kick which was followed up by a Flying Lariat in the corner and then a Styles Clash as Edge didn't even understand this kind of offense...let alone take it from anyone and AJ picked up the win. After the match though Hardy hits the ring again but this time with a steel chair and begins beating the crap out of the ribs of Edge! He then throws the chair down as he picks Edge up...TWIST OF FATE ON THE CHAIR!!! Hardy screams down at Edge that it will never be over between them and that he'll follow him to the ends of the earth until he faces him like a man. We fade to black with the image of Matt Hardy standing over Edge....on TNA TV!

(4 Way X Division Ranking Match)

The winner of this month's PPV Prediction contest will get to submit one feud/storyline idea that will be used. Now let's not be ignorant and say Shark Boy as NWA Champion. Legitimate ideas only please. But that withstanding. If it's not rediculous it'll be used. FINAL CARD

Tie-Breaker question is: Whom the new Signing is that is waiting for his 90 day no compete clause to expire.

Clue is: That he was once in a 3 Way Dance that he won in another company against Low-Ki and AJ Styles

[Kapalua2483]

Three huge debuts last week. Shelton Benjamin, Edge and Matt Hardy have joined TNA and apparently Matt Hardy wants to get his hands legitimately and finally on Edge without politics involved. Will he try to soften Edge up for their encounter at Final Resolution? We will see as it will be Matt Hardy and a partner vs Edge and a partner.

There will be a final 1st round match before the 2nd round begins at Final Resolution. It will be a Fatal Fourway match with un-announced competitors as of yet for the final spot.

Currently Lance Hoyt, AJ Styles, Abyss, Petey Williams, Konnan, Shelton Benjamin and Alex Shelley have qualified. One spot to go and it will be entertaining to see four men fight for that spot.

Rhino and Monty Brown have one final shot to get their hands on each other before their war at Final Resolution tonight!

Samoa Joe will be facing off in a 3 way dance tonight. With Chris Sabin and Christopher Daniels but it's not a Ranking Match because the match at the PPV is set and TNA does not want movement in the ranks tonight.

AJ Styles will take on Petey Williams

Abyss will take on Lance Hoyt, getting them all ready for the 2nd round of this tournament!

We get our normal intro to IMPACT with the music video opening as well as pyro to open up the show and we cut right to the action on this New Year's Eve edition of IMPACT!

Jay Lethal vs Kevin Steen

(X Division Ranking Match)

This matchup while it didn't have the crowd till near the end. Was a very good match either way. Both men put on a X Division clinic but in the end it was Jay Lethal taking a Package Piledriver from Steen and Steen picking up the victory with it!

Kip James vs Apolo

Kip dominates this entire match which didn't give the crowd really much to enjoy. Kip still kinda sucks. He ends up finishing the match with his Sleeper Slam and gets the pinfall but after the match Konnan hits the ring with a flapjack and KNOCKS Kip James out with it. One shot put the big man down in the back of the head and Konnan stands over him laughing as we head to commercial break but before we do...

We get a video package involving "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown and "The War Machine" Rhino with their feud over the last about two months. The huge bump that Rhino took at Turning Point as well as all their battles and fights in between and it tells us that the battle for the NWA Heavyweight Title will rage on as we head into the Final Resolution!

Overall Rating: 67%

Abyss vs Lance Hoyt

The crowd for whatever reason isn't enjoying the matches tonight as they were a bit dead for this one too but Abyss eventully wins it with a Chokeslam and then pulls a chair from ringside and hits Hoyt with a HUGE Black Hole Slam to hurt the big man and show what kind of a beast Abyss is!

"The Phenominal" AJ Styles vs "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams

This is the first match the crowd shows up for tonight. Styles one of the biggest fan favorites and Williams one of the most hated heels in the company here. This match got almost fifteen minutes. AJ had several near falls with a Torture Rack sitout Powerbomb for a close two count as well as a Pele Kick that almost got the three. Petey hit the "Oh Canada" Ball tap as well as a HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE RING APRON TO THE GUARDRAILS LATE IN THE MATCH. It looks like AJ is about to hit the clash a few minutes later but Petey is close enough to one of the sides of the ring to pull himself towards the ropes with his hands and breaks free. He then gets a low kick from Petey which bends him over..CANADIAN DESTROYER!!! Petey then gets the three count on AJ Styles! This is a big win for Petey Williams heading into Final Resolution!

We get another video package instead playing this time up about Samoa Joe's dominance since coming to TNA. His win of the X Division Title over one of TNA's Greatest Wrestlers and X Division Champions ever as well as going into the Sabin/Daniels feud and the two things meeting a head at Final Resolution!

We go backstage where Rhino looks to be heading into the arena when out of nowhere MONTY BROWN GORES HIM BACK THROUGH THE DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE ARENA!!!! Insult to injury there by not only hurting the Champ but by using his own move against him! Monty Brown mocks The Champ whom is rolling in pain after getting slammed back out the door he came in. We go to commercial break after this!

Matt Hardy/??? vs Edge/???

Edge is the first man out to the ring and he announces his partner...."The King of the Mountain"! Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett makes his way out to the ring to huge heat and then once he's in the ring. Matt Hardy's music hit (good thing you kept the copyright to this one Hardy it's good music). Hardy gets to ringside and then announces his partner...JEFF HARDY'S MUSIC HITS!! The HARDY BOYS ARE ONCE MORE! Both Hardyz hit the ring and it's like old times. The Hardy Boyz hit all their signature moves in this match but late in the match it looks like Edge and Jarrett might pull out the win but as Edge was going to take Jarrett in to make the finish. Jarrett gets pulled off the ring apron by Sting! Sting brawls with Jarrett on the outside while Edge turns around into a HUGE Twist of Fate from Matt Hardy and then Jeff hits a BIG Swanton Bomb on Edge and Matt gets the cover..1....2....3! The Hardyz are victorious and Matt gets a one up on Edge before their No Holds Barred Match at Final Resolution!

Samoa Joe vs Chris Sabin vs "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels

(3 Way Dance)

This matchup was the main event and was intense from start to finish. It began with Samoa Joe taking it to both men with a vengence. He was trying to send a message one day before their matchup for the X Division Title. It wound up with Sabin and Daniels working together to wear Joe down. Sabin hitting a couple huge Missle Dropkicks and Joe would spin around into a HUGE STO from Daniels to get a nearfall. Late in the match Daniels ducks a Joe kick which sends Joe to the outside and then Sabin grabs Daniels as he gets up into a Cradle Shock but Daniels knees Sabin in the head to get down and Daniels nails a HUGE ANGELS WINGS on Sabin..1...2....3! Daniels gets the win and stands up laughing and pointing to his head and then making a Championship Belt around his waist motion. We go off the air this week with the image of Daniels having seemingly figured out how to beat Joe without having to "Beat Joe".
