TNA Impact Report
Video package on AJ vs Jeff, including a sitdown interview by both with Mike Tenay. Very interesting thing that we don’t see often: Jarrett interrupts AJ, and Mike Tenay tells him that it’s AJ’s turn to talk. An announcer defending a wrestler, why not?
We start in the RDS studios with Marc Blondin and Michel Letourneur. TNA Hard Justice is of course this Sunday. Letourneur says how Dusty is trying to screw with JJ, while Blondin asks what does Tito Ortiz have to do with wrestling. DAMN RIGHT! This is why Blondin > Letourneur.
Exclusive interview with Elix Skipper on RDS. Highlights include:
-His father and grand father were huge wrestling fans and this is the reason Skipper is in wrestling to this day.
– Started at the WCW Powerplant and is a kick boxer
– Trains 6 days a week for an hour
– He will become the TNA World champion one day
Elix Skipper vs Eric Young (w. Scott Damore) vs Jeff Hardy vs Christopher Daniels: Hardy is thrown out of the ring by Young, while XXX fight it out. Young and Daniels with a double suplex to Skipper, and then he gets thrown out of the ring. Hardy with a double dropkick from the top. Hardy does a jawbreaker on Young and a legdrop between the legs to Daniels. Going for the cover, Young breaks the count. Um, why, this is an elimination match. Young with a suicide dive to Skipper. Hardy sets up a chair and flies on both Elix and Eric. Daniels does a crossbody to everybody while holding a chair to his stomach! Out of nowhere, Raven shows up, attacks Hardy and takes him to the back where he is never seen again. Daniels stands alone in the ring.

We’re back and Daniels is still alone in the ring. Every time Skipper and Young goes to the apron, Chris knocks them down. After doing this for 2 minutes, Damore tries, but is unsuccessful. Skipper finally goes into the ring with a clothesline. After punches and kicks (he was a kick boxer, you know), Skipper gets a belly to belly for 2. Hurrincarana on Daniels from the top. Young is back and keeps reversing the reverse piledriver with Skipper, until Skipper gets a big move for trrrrrrrois. Then, Skipper cradles Daniels for 3, even though the time limit expired once Skipper got the cradle.
