iMPACT opens up to a shot of the sold out crowd then to our announcers Mike Tenay and Doug West

Tenay welcomes everyone to Phillips Arena in Atlanta GA, as iMPACT continues on it's road tour. Last week Management Director Jim Cornette came down and laid the law down on a few iMPACT superstars. First he informed Jeff Jarrett he would have to redo his match from Victory Road, then advised Simon Diamond that he was out of a job, and made life just miserable for Team Canada. X Division Champ Petey Williams first title defense was against Samoa Joe and The new Tag Team Champs Andrew Martin and Bobby Roode had to face a 3 way against AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels and America's Most Wanted. Tonight Team Canada will defend the NWA World Tag Team Titles against Styles and Daniels, and in our main event a Triple threat match for the X division title as Petey Williams will defend for a 2nd straight week against Senshi and Samoa Joe. Let's head to the ring for our 1st match.

NWA World Tag Team Title Match:
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels vs. Team Canada (C) (Andrew Martin and Bobby Roode)

The match was set and both teams were ready to go as the bell went off. Martin and Daniels started things off and Martin laid Daniels down with a clothesline. Martin was all over Daniels as Scott D'Amore barked out orders. Martin hit a powerslam and went for the pin but only got a 2 count. Martin whips Daniels into the ropes but Daniels hits Martin with a shoulderblock and makes the tag to Styles who comes in and clears the ring of both Roode and Martin. The Champs regroup next to D'Amore who barks some orders while the ref counts. Styles decide to break up the meeting by flying over the rope taking out all 3 men with a flying body press. While out on the floor, Chris Harris jumps from the crowd and slams a chair on the back of Styles and rolls back into the crowd. Bobby Roode tosses Styles back in the ring and works on Styles more before tagging Martin back in. Martin hits the Big Boot on Styles and goes for the pin. Daniels tries to make the save but D'Amore trips him on his way in giving Team Canada the win.

Team Canada (Bobby Roode and Andrew Martin) defeated AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels when A. Martin pinned Styles with the Big Boot in 0:05:14.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Backstage we see an upset Cage talking to Jim Cornette. He demands RVD in the ring tonight for what he pulled last week in Florida. Cornette tells Cage he doesn't even know if Rob Van Dam is even in Atlanta much less at the Arena since he wasn't scheduled to wrestle tonight. Cage said he didn't care. You find him and you book it. He then walks away.

Back at the announcers table Tenay comments on RVD actions last week when he is interrupted by the music of one Jeff Jarrett who makes his way to the ring. He tells the folks that once again the powers that be tried to stop him from getting what should already be his. He calls out Raven and tells him that next week that belt comes home with him. Raven then comes out to the delight of the crowd and tells Jarrett that what he did at Victory road and again pulled last week in Tallahassee will only lead to his downfall. Jarrett just laughed and said that only thing that was falling was Raven and at that moment the "Alpha Male" Monty Brown slammed a double ax handle across the back of Raven. He continues to hammer away as he then slides the NWA Champ into the ring. Jarrett signals for the Stroke but Sting comes running down to the ring with his black bat causing Brown and Jarrett to make a quick exit. Sting points the bat at Jarrett who jaws his way back up the ramp as we go to commercial.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Were back at Phillips Arena as Tenay and west talk about what just went down. West then says he was just handed this from the back and says that tonight in a tag team match. Jarrett and Brown will face Sting and the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Raven. Tenay talks about how that will be a great match and intros our next bout.

Billy Kidman vs. Norman Smiley

Kidman making his iMPACT! debut looked good throughout the match. Smiley gave him some trouble but Kidman was able to hold him off and pick up the win with a Shooting Star Press. Kidman came down funny on his knee and was limping on his way back up the ramp, will see if we can find out more on his condition.

Backstage Cornette finds RVD who is talking to a young lady. Upset that he is being interrupted he looks at Cornette as if there was a problem. Cornette told there would be if he continues with that attitude. He informs Van Dam that tonight him and Cage would meet up. RVD wanting to get back to his conversation with the young lady just says yea whatever and returns to his talk. It's till after Cornette is gone and it sinks in what was just said that Van dam has a look on his face and tells his lady friend he's gotta go.

Last week Sonjay Dutt and Sabu was attacked and humiliated by LAX when Machete and Konnan attacked them in the showers and spry painted LAX on their chests and foreheads. Sabu was not a happy camper after last week show and demanded that they meet LAX again this week.

Latin American Exchange (Konnan and Machete) vs. Sonjay Dutt and Sabu

Needless to say this one got ugly from the bell as all four men went at each other the ref had no control in this one as fists and kicks were being thrown everywhere. Konnan gets some control when he hits Sabu with a suplex then follows that up with a stomp to the head. Konnan then attempted the Tequila Sunrise but Sabu blocked it and hit Konnan with a dropkick. Sabu then tagged Dutt who started to work on Konnan but the bigger Konnan stopped the charge with a huge backdrop. Back on the offensive Konnan hits a dropkick right on Dutt's knee. Konnan then tags in Machete who continues to work on the knee.. Dutt in pain has one last run in him makes his way to the corner and tags in Sabu. Machete tags in Konnan and the two go at it. Sabu hits Konnan in the gut then places him on the top rope for a Frankensteiner but Konnan counters with a Powerbomb and gets the 3 count.

iMPACT! returns with a bang as the next match was set up to begin.

Matt Hardy vs. Rhyno

Matt Hardy looked no worse for ware despite what went on last week when Jeff seemed to have turned on his brother. Matt seemed focused on tonight as he was facing the beast Rhyno. Hardy was in control till late in the match when Jeff Hardy came down to ring side and started bad mouth his brother. Matt taking his focus off of Rhyno started to jaw back. That lead to Rhyno hitting the Gore to the satisfaction of one Jeff Hardy as Rhyno picked up the win.

Rhyno pinned Matt Hardy with the Rhyno Gore in 0:13:01.

Last week Jeff Jarrett got the help On Rob Van Dam to help him win his match against Cage to insure he would face Raven next week for the title. Cage demanded the match and Cornette delivered.

Ive decided to take impact Wrestling off the boards, I'll continue to work it on TNM and will update the website and have the results availible for anyone who wants to read, I could tell from the start this was an unpopular cirrcuit and some of the comments made that clear. I most likely wont be posting anything circuit wise since each one has died a horrible death. Impact was the only one i thought was working Don;t get me wrong I was not posting for comments or feedback but when you don't get feed back and the views are like 8 when you knw 2 of those views are yours then it's obvious that noone cares beyond you so just like a tv show that did not have the views Impact Wresling will continue just not on the boards..

For those who did read I hope you enjoyed what I tried to do. For those who didn't, Sorry
