NEWS ITEMS FROM SATURDAY’S “iMPACT!” ON SPIKE TV
Several major news items to report from “iMPACT!” as we are a week away from Sunday’s “Against All Odds” live and exclusively on Pay-Per-View:
“THE WAR MACHINE” RHINO vs. “THE MONSTER” ABYSS SIGNED FOR THE PAY-PER-VIEW: FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!
As a result of the recent chaotic clashes between Rhino and Abyss, including a GORE! through the entrance set on a recent “iMPACT!”, TNA management has signed a “Falls Count Anywhere” brawl between the two juggernauts at Sunday’s “Against All Odds” Pay-Per-View event! The rules of the bout are simple – the entirety of the arena (and possibly Universal Studios) will be the battleground for Abyss and Rhino, with pins being legal anywhere until one star has been defeated!
SABIN/DUTT vs. ARIES/STRONG IN FINALS OF TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT – AMW’S PPV OPPONENTS TO BE DETERMINED ON “iMPACT!”
The teams of Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt as well as Austin Aries and Roderick Strong advanced to the finals of the “iMPACT!” Tag Team Tournament, with the deciding bout taking place this Saturday, the night before the Pay-Per-View! Whoever emerges from the finals as the winning team will go on to battle America’s Most Wanted the following night at “Against All Odds” for the NWA World Tag Team Title!
TEAM CANADA PICKS “THE CANADIAN ENFORCER” BOBBY ROODE AND ERIC YOUNG TO FACE TEAM 3D AT “AGAINST ALL ODDS”
During a backstage interview, it was decided that Bobby Roode and Eric Young would represent Team Canada against Team 3D at Sunday’s “Against All Odds”. Team 3D have vowed revenge against Team Canada for costing them the gold against AMW at “Final Resolution”, and they’ll get their opportunity against Roode and Young at the Pay-Per-View.
GAIL KIM DOESN’T LIKE WHAT SHE HEARS..
After receiving a tape recorder from Jackie Gayda containing “hard evidence” against Jeff Jarrett, fellow TNA Knockout Gail Kim apparently didn’t like what she heard on the audio. According to Gail during a backstage interview on “iMPACT!”, the contents of the tape could cost the entirety of Jarrett’s army their jobs, which caught the attention of Team Canada coach Scott D’Amore, who promised to take care of the situation. Thus far, neither Jackie, Gail or D’Amore have been willing to divulge the contents of the audio.
JARRETT’S ARMY SENDS ALEX SHELLEY ON A MISSION
As a result of Jackie’s power play, it appears Jeff Jarrett and his army are set to fire back at the TNA Knockout. On Saturday’s “iMPACT!”, cameras captured Jarrett, Team Canada and AMW sending Alex Shelley on a mission to “get some dirt” on Jackie with his camera. Apparently, after hearing the contents of the tape recorder, Jarrett and D’Amore are ready to play hardball with the blonde beauty. Whether or not Jackie is ready for Jarrett’s latest move remains to be seen.
