Bobby Roode / Sting Promo segment
Sting interrupts Roode’s promo and tells Roode that he will defend the World Title against Jeff Hardy right now on Impact…
World Title Match: Bobby Roode Vs Jeff Hardy
The match spills to the outside, both guys brawl down the ramp. Hardy sends Roode into the ring and Kurt Angle runs down and attacks Jeff, sending him into the steel steps and then back into the ring. Roode hits a big spear on Hardy and gets the 3 count.
After match promos by Roode and Hardy are really great.
Bully Ray promo - he tells everyone to be careful because he’s a ticking time bomb.
He says that he had Hardy beat in the middle of the ring at Against All Odds, but he blames the referee and Sting as the special enforcer in the match for costing him the World Title.
Sting confronts Roode backstage and tells him that he just screwed Jeff Hardy in their match and that he isn’t done with him tonight…
Eric Young is playing guitar and says that it was his first Valentines Day with ODB, but he didn‘t get to speak to her. Tonight he’s going to change that…. Pretty hilarious promo.
The camera cuts to Sting with Bully Ray and James Storm. Sting has booked a No.1 contenders match between them for later tonight.
Mike Tenay talks about Jesse Sorensen’s injury at Against All Odds, while they show footage of what happened, which left Jesse with no feeling in his arms and legs. He broke his C1 vertebrae, but he’s slowly starting to recover feeling throughout his body. TNA are going to keep us updated.
Alex Shelley & Shannon Moore Vs Austin Aries & Zema Ion
Everyone works hard in the match and they have a good, short, action-packed TV match.
Zema Ion tags himself in the match and rolls up Alex Shelley to get the win for his team.
Gail Kim and Madison Rayne talk about the Knockouts Battle Royal coming up after the break…
Knockouts No.1 Contenders Battle Royal
Mickie James, Tara, ODB, Brooke, Winter, Angelina, Velvet, Sarita, Rosita….
Gail Kim comes to the ring with Madison Rayne and they sit at ringside watching the match.
It comes down to Angelina Love, Sarita and Velvet Sky. Sarita double-crosses Angelina and tosses her over the top rope. Velvet eliminates Sarita. While she is celebrating, Madison Rayne jumps into the ring and pushes Velvet Sky over the top rope to become the No.1 contender….
The new Tag Team Champions, Samoa Joe & Brutus Magnus cut an interview backstage on winning the straps from Morgan & Crimson at Against All Odds and they plan on keeping them…
Eric Bischoff, Gunner and Ric Flair (with the returning Chelsea) come to the ring.
Eric tells his son, Garett that trying to follow in his footsteps is a waste of time…. I think this whole angle is a waste of time, to be honest.
Bully Ray promo on James Storm…. He says that he will beat Storm tonight and become the No.1 contender to the World Champion.
Eric Young finds ODB backstage and serenades her with a song… ODB seems to like and drags Eric Young off for his present….
James Storm promo on Bully Ray before their No.1 contenders match later tonight
James Storm Vs Bully Ray
Bully Ray works over James Storm’s leg during the match - trying to weaken him enough so that he can’t hit his super kick. After a good match, James Storm manages to connect with the super kick and score the 3 count.
Bully Ray / Brandon Jacobs
After the match, Bully Ray jumps James Storm from behind while he is celebrating the win with Brandon Jacobs at ringside. Bully Ray drinks his beer and spits it into his face. Brandon Jacobs pushes Bully Ray to the ground and D’Low, Al Snow and Pat Kenney hold him back while Bully Ray heads down the ramp and to the back.
This angle reminded me of the Bam Bam Bigelow / Lawrence Taylor set up.
Backstage, James Storm and Brandon Jacobs talk about payback coming to Bully Ray next week
Sting / Bobby Roode in-ring promo segment
Sting tells Bobby that he will defend his World Title against James Storm at TNA’s Lockdown PPV.
Roode attacks Sting, hits him with the World Title belt and punches a bloodied Sting as Impact ends.
Overall, this was a good Impact, which featured some great wrestling and solid promos.
