iMPACT- June 24, 2009
Live from The iMPACT Zone in Orlando, Florida

We begin iMPACT with a short video package highlighting the key moments in each of the matches at Slammiversary. We then enter the iMPACT zone where Mike Tenay and Don West take a quick look at the happenings of Slammiversary before running down the card for tonight's iMPACT, mainly hyping the biggest iMPACT Main Event of 2009, Angle, Nash and Steiner versus Jarrett, Foley and Sting.

Match #1: Cody Deaner/Jethro Holliday w/ODB vs. Eric Young/Shark Boy
It is a back and forth match between these two low card teams as Young and Sharky gain the early advantage taking advantage of the less skillful and ring savvy Deaner. Deaner is isolated in the wrong corner as Young and Sharky make frequent tags and slowly weaken Deaner. After almost 4 minutes of being isolated in one corner Deaner gets a spurt of energy firing lefts and rights and chops knocking Young off the apron and then flying into a clothesline on Shark Boy. Deaner is finally able to make a tag as Holliday jumps in destroying Young and Shark Boy with boots, clotheslines and punches. Holliday looks to have the match won for his team isolating Young in their corner, but out of the blue he gets rolled up by Young and Deaner is to occupied with ODB as Young and Sharky steal one.
Winners: Eric Young and Shark Boy @ 6:47

Deaner looks on in shock as Holliday jumps up and chases Young and Shark Boy out of the ring. Holliday then stares down at Deaner who is shaking his head and trying to calm Holliday down, but to no avail as Holliday jumps out of the ring and chases Deaner and ODB outside of the iMPACT Zone.

---Commercial Break---

We return to the iMPACT Zone where Tenay and West explain what happened just before the commercial break with the thought to be new tag team of Cody Deaner and Jethro Holliday. We then hear the unfamiliar music of Kaz echo through the iMPACT zone to a huge ovation. Kaz is all business as he rejects high fives from the fans and gets right into the ring. Kaz grabs a mic and tells the fans that he is back in TNA and he is back for the X-Division title. Kaz says that he brought this Suicide character to life and wrestled as this character until the week before he was given the X-Division title shot because he had suffered an injury. He never found out who this character was, but he stole his X-Division title and he is back for it, at all costs! Kaz then calls Suicide out. After a couple minutes the lights go out and a spot light shoot to the ceiling as Suicide flies into the ring on a rope. Suicide and Kaz have an intense staredown before Kaz signals the title around his waist! Suicide backs up a little and holds the title high up in the air and takes the gun pointing it at his head and then points it at Kaz and shoots! Suicide then exits the ring as Kaz watches on with a huge grin on his face. Suicide doesn't look back as Kaz continues staring through the back of Suicide's head. Tenay and West are in shock at what has just happened and are wondering what will come of this confrontation and how this will effect the X-Division title picture?

We go to the backstage area where Sting, Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley are standing with JB. JB barely says one word before Sting grabs the mic out of his hands. Sting says that Angle got lucky this past Sunday when he won the title, but that tonight Jarrett, Foley and himself would be out for MEM blood. Foley takes his turn on the mic saying that he has had enough of the MEM and tonight is only going to be the start of their demise as the Frontline begins its reformation! Jarrett smiles and takes the mic saying that the Frontline is taking TNA back and giving it to TNA Management to put away far away from the MEM. The three men exit leaving Borash questioning some of the comments. Tenay and West wonder how they are going to take back control of TNA and give it to management with the numbers game being 5 on 3?

---Commercial Break---

Match #2: TNA Knockout's Title Match: Angelina Love w/The Beautiful People vs. Tara(c)
Love is quickly put on the disadvantage when the ref kicks the Beautiful People away from ringside. Love is prime time ticked off as Tara goes on the early assault with some powerful suplex variations. Tara gains a couple near falls, but Love is able to kick out. Love begins to fight back into the match with some speedy counters and DDT variations, but she is not strong enough as Tara counters an attempted DDT and landing a spinebuster. Tara finishes the match off by locking in a Sharpshooter and mocking The Beautiful People who are standing at the top of the ramp watching in disgust.
Winner: And Still TNA Knockout's Champion, Tara! @ 7:16

The Beautiful People hurry to the ring before Tara is able to reach for her tarantula. Tara grabs the cage from ringside and backs up the ramp smiling and waving the cage in one hand and Knockout's title in the other. Love holds her back and signals a cut across the throat to Tara.

We go backstage where AJ Styles is sitting at his locker putting his gear on. There is a sudden knock at his door and the camera turns to see Lance Hoyt standing at the entrance. Styles looks at him funny as he walks in and introduces himself and says that he has re-signed with TNA and is starting on the Xplosion roster. Styles asks him why this matters to him? Hoyt laughs oddly as he says that he is a huge fan and would like to be at ringside tonight to witness a true legend in action and learn what he can before his first match next Monday. Styles shrugs his shoulders and tells him that it is worth a try. Hoyt grabs Styles belt and slings it over his shoulder as Styles heads to the ring with Hoyt in close pursuit.

Match #3: TNA Legend's Title Match: 'The Blueprint' Matt Morgan vs. AJ Styles(c)
Hoyt is at ringside cheering on AJ Styles the whole match making Morgan look over numerous times wondering what he is doing there. Morgan gains early control overpowering Styles with a couple clotheslines and then a big boot. Styles is quick to retreat and exit the ring as Hoyt jumps over to re-assure a clearly angry Styles.

---Commercial Break---

When we return Morgan is in complete control landing numerous variations of powerful suplexs. Styles make a couple attempts to fight back, but Morgan cuts each of Styles attempts short with a clothesline or strike. Styles slowly begins to build up a head of steam and fights back into the match and lands some quick dropkicks capped off by a Springboard Flying Fist! Styles continues landing high flying moves sending Morgan stumbling around. Styles looks to have the match won when out of nowhere Morgan lands a massive big boot countering a Flying Clothesline! Morgan then goes for the finish, but Hoyt jumps on the apron distracting the ref! Morgan tries to get the refs attention, but Styles is able to get back to his feet and land a Styles Clash as the ref turns around and counts to three.
Winner: And Still TNA Legend's Champion, AJ Styles! @ 9:47

Styles grabs his Legend's belt and celebrates for a second before he catches Hoyt climbing into the ring to celebrate. Styles walks up to him and says something that the crowd can't here as Hoyt hangs his head in shame as Styles hurries to the backstage area, still proud of his victory despite the outcome.

We go backstage where Kaz is now inside Jim Cornette's office when the camera gets in Kaz is still ranting on about how this Suicide character, whoever it may be, is walking around with his X-Division Title. Cornette questions why Kaz is complaining when he never even won the title under Suicide's name. Kaz counters saying that he brought this character to life and if he had of continued with the character he would be holding that title not a man who is afraid to come from behind a mask and fight like a man. Kaz then says that he wants one title match to prove himselfworthy of more, if by some freak accident he lost. Cornette thinks for a second and then says that at Victory Road he will give him his title shot, but he also has many other X-Division stars waiting for their chance. So Cornette then goes on to announce that for the next 2 iMPACT's we will be hosting an X-Division tournament with the winner of each match moving onto Victory Road for a 6 man Xscape Steel Cage Match!

---Commercial Break---

Match #4: Non-Title: The New British Invasion vs. Beer Money Inc.
Roode goes on the attack early isolating Williams in BMI's corner. Roode delivers some hard suplexs beginning the assault on the back of Williams. Roode and Storm tag in and out continuing an assault on the back of Williams. Williams slowly begins to move the match towards his corner before making a hot tag nearly 5 minutes into the match. Magnus jumps into the ring landing clotheslines on both men before tossing Storm to the outside and beginning to work away on Roode. Magnus is ruthless using his brawling style of wrestling to keep Roode from escaping. Magnus locks in numerous submissions well Roode is on the ground and doing his best to wrench away at that body part. Roode finally escapes and tags in Storm, but Magnus tags in a fresh Williams. The two men slug it out as we pass the 10 minute mark, but Storm gains the advantage using a poke to the eye. Storm then goes after the back of Williams again really causing the damage when he lands a spinebuster! Storm then gets ready to hit the Last Call when Terry jumps onto the apron distracting the ref. Magnus dives into the ring dropkicking Roode off the apron and into the barrier and then hitting the Tormentum on the un-suspecting Storm. The ref turns around to see Williams pinning Storm and counts three!
Winners: The New British Invasion @ 12:02

Magnus, Williams and Terry back up the ramp raising their hands into the air smiling. Roode climbs into the ring and passes a title belt to Storm as they look up the ramp with pissed off looks on their faces.

We go backstage where JB is standing by with Main Event Mafia member, Samoa Joe. JB asks Joe when the TNA World will find out who his secret advisor is? Joe laughs and says that it wouldn't be much of a secret if the world found out. He then says that his advisor prefers to stay secretive until he gives Joe his final duty and it is completed. JB asks when we can expect this final duty to be announced? Joe says that this is the one duty that will not be made public. He says that when the duty is done the wrestling world will know! JB then makes a comment about how he said that their were a couple more people left on his list, he then asks who this person or people are? Joe grins sickly into the camera and says that their are four people on this list and he has a feeling that they will not be surviving much longer if himself and his advisor have anything ot say about it! Joe walks off the set as JB strokes his chin wondering what is going on. We then go to ring side where Tenay and West are in shock at some of the comments and are wondering what the hell is gonig on with Joe and this advisor? They then hype up the Main Event, which is coming up next!

---Commercial Break---

We return to iMPACT where Jay Lethal is backstage with Consequences Creed and they are talking about their matches in the X-Division Xscape Tournament. Creed is commenting on his opponent, a former X-Division champion, Chris Sabin. Creed says that he has beating these guys in tag team action before so singles shouldn't be much different. Lethal warns him that it's not going to be as easy as he thinks and then jokes saying that it is going to be very different with his opponent, Kiyoshi. Lethal and Creed continue to joke around until Daniels walks into the picture looking at the two of them with a suspicious look. Daniels says that they shouldn't be joking about something involving such an important title and that if they aren't going to take this seriously then why are they even putting an effort foreward? Daniels walks away as Lethal and Creed laugh to each other and walk away.

Main Event: Angle/Steiner/Nash vs. Foley/Jarrett/Sting
Angle and Sting start out, but Angle is quick to tag out and bring Nash into the match. Nash goes on the attack early, but Sting counters numerous times before taking complete control knocking Nash into Angle and Steiner on the apron. Sting then makes a hot tag to Foley who jumps in and continues from where Sting left off landing some hard striking blows before landing a hard DDT! Foley gets a couple close falls that he argues with the ref about, but makes a tag to Jarrett. Jarrett jumps in and delivers some hard suplexs well locking in some submissions on the back of Nash in between each suplex. Nash slowly fights back to a veral base and tags out getting Angle into the match, but Jarrett tags out for Sting sending Angle back to his corner tagging in Steiner. Steiner and Sting slug it out back and forth for a couple minutes before Steiner tagged in the frech Nash who took control of Sting with his power and strength. Sting attempts to escape, but Nash overpowers him each time. Finally Angle gets tagged in and Sting seems to have a new rush of power delivering hard punches before firing him into the corner and landing a Stinger Splash! Sting tags out to Foley who jumps in and nails Angle with a couple clotheslines and then chases Steiner and Nash off the apron. The crowd is going crazy as Jarrett gets tagged in and Foley and Jarrett land a double vertical suplex! It looks like the face team has the victory in hand when Booker T jumps into the ring and lands a Book End that Jarrett never sees coming!
Winners: By Disqualification Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett and Sting @ 15:36

The MEM take advantage of the numbers game as Joe joins in. All 5 men start beating down on the three wrestling legends. Angle finally stays in the same ring as Sting locking in the Ankle Lock and adding more and more pressure as Joe lands a Muscle Buster on Foley before locking in the Coquina Cutch! Steiner has the Steiner Recliner locked deeply in on Jarrett as the crowd boos loudly. Suddenly the lights begin to flicke in the iMPACT Zone and then at the top of the face ramp appears... Ric Fair! The crowd erupts into cheers as Flair runs to the ring with a steel chair in hand chasing the MEM off. Flair checks on his 3 other legends of wrestling well staring down the MEM and soaking in the crowds cheers. Tenay and West are in complete shock at what has just happened as they sign us off for htis weeks episode of TNA iMPACT!

iMPACT July 2, 2009
Live from the iMPACT Zone in Orlando, FL

We open iMPACT with a video highlighting everything that happened in the Main Event including the debut of Ric Flair. We then turn to Mike Tenay and Don West who hype up the X-Division tournament, which kicks off tonight. As well they put lots of hype on the HUGE Main Event for tonight Flair versus Joe in a best 2 out of 3 submission falls.

We turn our attention to the ring where the Legends of Wrestling are making their way to the ring to a huge ovation from the sold out iMPACT Zone. Flair is first to take the mic claiming he shook the very fabric of the wrestling world when he unexpectedidly signed with TNA to join this new fraction. Now after making his first impact last week he is going to make an echo to last week by defeating MEM member, Samoa Joe in a best two out of three submission falls match tonight! Flair is clearly pumped as Sting takes his turn on the mic introducing, as everyone already knew, the Legends of Wrestling and says that come Hard Justice TNA will be back in the hands of TNA Management, Jim Cornette and the Main Event Mafia will no longer be this unstoppable fraction they think they are. Sting then hands his mic to Foley as Foley flashes his hardcore grin showing the gap in between his teeth. Foley says that as the commissioner of TNA he has a say in what goes in TNA. He tells the iMPACT Zone that Cornette and himself worked all week to make a great Main Event for Victory Road and they have finally made a descision. Foley announces that at Victory Road it will be the Legends of Wrestling versus the Main Event Mafia in a match that hasn't been consisted since the WCW days... the WarGames! He runs down the rules of the match as the sold out iMPACT Zone is going crazy! We turn to the backstage area where we see the MEM in their locker room swearing and throwing chairs and title belts around. Tenay and West are in complete shock, but the main question on their mind is who the 5th Legend of Wrestling is?

---Commercial Break---

When we return to iMPACT Tenay and West are still in shock of what happened before the commercial break. They begin hyping up the Main Event for Victory Road before going to the ring for the first match of the night.

Match #1: X-Division Title Tournament: Jay Lethal vs. Kiyoshi
Lethal opens up the match with lots of speed countering a couple moves by Kiyoshi before finally starting his offence. Lethal lands a couple dropkicks before finally doing some damage with a Inverted DDT. Lethal continues using his power over a weakened Kiyoshi to land a couple suplexs and gain a couple near falls. Kiyoshi begins to make a comeback after falling victim to a couple near falls. Kiyoshi brings the match back to a vertical base and lands a couple clotheslines before springboarding and landing a moonsault for a near fall. Lethal begins to get angry at Kiyoshi fighting back. Lethal fires a couple punches before landing an Enzugiri. Lethal is hyping the crowd up as the finish seems to be coming when Daniels jumps onto the apron and starts distracting the ref. Lethal continues fighting when Kiyoshi lands a low blow! Kiyoshi then lands the Lightning Flash and pins just in time for the ref to notice and count the pin!
Winner: And Moving on to the Xscape X-Title Match at Victory Road... Kiyoshi @ 6:37

Daniels walks away with a smirk on his face as Lethal sits up and points at Daniels with a pissed off look on his face. Creed runs down to the ring and helps Lethal back to his feet as Daniels disappears down the ramp.

We go to the backstage area where we enter the Main Event Mafia Locker Room. The locker room is a mess after the announcement they heard at the beginning of the show. Angle is in a corner of the locker room holding his TNA World Title clearly stressed about the upcoming match at Victory Road. Joe walks up to him and tries to re-assure him, but Angle is stil heated. Angle asks the MEM how Jim Cornette could do this to them? After everything that they have done to improve TNA and this is how they are repayed. Joe steps foreward and says that the ball can't always roll in their direction and this clearly rubs Angle the wrong way as he asks Joe who the leader of this group is? Joe says Angle. Angle smiles and says that if he ever wants to say something like that again... keep it to himself! Angle exits his locker room as Joe looks at Angle disgustinly.

---Commercial Break---

Match #2: X-Division Title Tournament: Consequences Creed vs. Chris Sabin
Lethal is at ringside keeping his eye out for Daniels. Creed tries to stay focused on the match, but gets side tracked numerous times by movements on the stage and in the crowd. Creed starts the match using lots of speed and landing some clotheslines and a dropkick before landing a springboard leg drop. The crowd is fully behind Creed, but Sabin takes advantage of a distraction in the crowd to land a couple close roll ups. Creed falls behind in the match as Sabin overpowers him with clotheslines and quick suplexs. Sabin looks to finish the match off when he lifts Creed up for the Cradle Shock, but Creed delivers a couple elbows to the head before countering with a Tornado DDT. Creed and Sabin are both slow to get up from this and the pace of the match slows down greatly. Creed lands striking blows before hitting an enzugiri out of nowhere. Creed goes for the pin when out of nowhere the lights begin to flicker in the iMPACT Zone. Daniels then appears on the heel ramp distracting the ref and Creed and sending Lethal charging up the ramp after him. Creed and the ref turn back to the match as Sabin hits the Cradle Shock for the three count!
Winner: And Moving onto Victory Road in the X-Title Xscape Match... Chris Sabin! @ 7:08

Lethal and Daniels are showing on camera and Lethal has Daniels in a headlock when out of no where a masked figure jumps Lethal and starts driving fists into the skull of Lethal. Daniels slowly regains his balance and finds a steel chair and drives it into Lethal's skull three times opening a huge gash before throwing the chair to the ground. Daniels has a sick grin on his face as he rips the mask off the figure... Dr. Stevie! Stevie smiles sickly before saying that he has giving up on Daffney and has already began the transformation of Daniels! He says that Daniels is a true specimin of Hardcore! Of a man who is trapped between worlds and needs Dr. Stevie's help! Daniels shakes Stevie's hand before looking down at the lifeless body of Lethal and walking off!

We enter the Knockout's Locker Room where Tara is playing with her pet tarantula and looking at the Knockout's title with great pride. Suddenly JB walks in and asks Tara for a moment of her time. Tara agrees well picking up her title. JB asks that after beating Love last week in her 'Last Chance Match' what is next for the Knockout's title? Tara laughs and says that Love isn't worthy of the Knockout's title. All she does is bitch and complain and try to look Beautiful. Tara then says that she deserves one last chance at Victory Road this time with an extra women in the match to even out the odds if her little possy want to interfere. JB asks Tara who this mystery girl is? Tara smiles before proudly announcing a Knockout's Battle Royal taking place next week on iMPACT where the final Knockout standing becomes the third opponent in the Knockout's title match at VR! Tara then grabs her spider and title and bids JB a good day before exiting with an unknown man who seems to be her boy friend.

---Commercial Break---

Match #3: The British Invasion vs. Rhino, Eric Young, Jethro Holliday
We go to see the first of Rob Terry in this match as the two big men Holliday and Terry go at each other. Both men try overpowering each other which doesn't work well for either man. Holliday finally gives up on the countering and tags in Rhino who jumps in and takes Terry down right away, but his assault of strikes lasts little time as Terry shoves him away and tags in Magnus. Magnus comes out using his speed to counter, but is caught after an attempted springboard crossbody where Rhino catches him and lands a fallaway slam. Rhino takes advantage from there hitting a couple suplexs that gain him near falls. Rhino then tags in Young who comes in and starts working on the fresh Doug Williams. The two men slug it out for a little before Williams lands a clothesline. Williams starts using a ground and pound technique locking in submissions and delivering some hard strikes. Williams gains one near fall before a side head lock allows Young to get to a vertical base and land some elbows before tagging in Rhino. Rhino chases Williams back to his corner where Terry is tagged in. Well in the other corner Holliday has falling off the apron as Deaner starts throwing punches! The ref is trying to control the match and stop Deaner, but to no avail as Young jumps off the apron to help Holliday the British Invasion each take turns hitting their finishers before the ref turns back to see Rhino pinned!
Winners: The British Invasion @ 8:57

Deaner starts heading back up the ramp as Young and Holliday jump into the ring to check on Rhino. Holliday stares up the ramp and signals a cut across the throat. Suddenly the booming voices of Beer Money Inc. come over the speakers and they step out onto the ramp. Beer Money Inc. is laughing at The British Invasion saying that they are trying to get a shot at these titles, but they can't even win a match without cheating. Roode then says that sicne they love to cheat there way to victory at Victory Road it will be BMI versus the British Invasion in a... Street Fight for the World Tag Team Titles. The British Invasion seem pretty happy knowing they have the numbers advantage, but they get quite the shock when BMI says that so the numbers game is fair they will have... Rhino in their corner to handle Terry!

---Commercial Break---

We come back to iMPACT and Tenay and West are hyping up all the huge announcements and action that has went down tonight. Victory Road is hyped big time for a couple minutes before we turn to a match with huge Victory Road implications.

Match #4: Winner Faces AJ Styles @ Victory Road for Legend's Title: Matt Morgan vs. Lance Hoyt
This match is physical right from the getco as Morgan jumps foreward taking his anger out on Hoyt who screwed him out of the title last week. Morgan delivers some hard strikes before going on the offense with a couple hard vertical suplexs. Morgan gains some early near falls, but the agile Hoyt slowly battles back from a side head lock landing some elbows before bouncing off the ropes and landing a big boot. Joyt puts his agility to work landing a couple variations of the DDT that gain him a little more then a two count. Hoyt continues to put the fight to Morgan landing some hard knees and kicks to the ribs of Morgan slowly him down greatly. Morgan attempts to fight back a couple times, but is stopped by Hoyt landing a blow to his clearly hurt ribs. Hoyt has complete control of the match landing a couple vertical suplexs and then locking in a leg scissors and squeezing the hurt ribs! Morgan fights his way out of it, but the ribs have clearly had the toll taking on them. Morgan tries to use his power, but Hoyt continues to attack the ribs. Hoyt is ruthless attacking the ribs and abdomin of Morgan. Hoyt is setting up for his finisher to end the match when AJ Styles runs to the ring! Hoyt turns his attention to Styles and jumps off the top rope and landing a big boot sending Styles flying off the apron! Hoyt then turns back to the match, but is hit by a huge running big boot by Morgan! Morgan gets the pin and is going to Victory Road to face AJ Styles!
Winner: And the #1 Contender for the TNA Legend's Title... Matt Morgan! @ 10:57

Morgan is in great pain as he stares down the Legend's Champion, AJ Styles. Hoyt rolls out of the ring and looks up at Styles wondering why he did what he just did? All three men are looking around at each other as iMPACT goes to it's final commercial break.

---Commercial Break---

We return to iMPACT where Kurt Angle is talking with Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner. Angle is telling them that Joe can't lose tonight, Angle then says that he just found out from Mick Foley that the winner of this match gets the numbers advantage for the WarGames at Victory Road. Nash and Steiner nod their heads as Nash and Steiner head towards the iMPACT Zone and Angle heads to the locker room.

We then go to the locker room of AJ Styles where a doctor is checking out a little cut he recieved after the big boot from Hoyt. Suddenly Hoyt walks in and demands an explanation for AJ Styles actions? Styles says that Hoyt screwed Morgan out of possibly winning the title last week and that he still had some unfinished business to attend to before he moved on to new challengers. Hoyt is clearly furious with the action of Styles as he says that as soon as Victory Road ends... he would be looking for his revenge and tells Styles to watch his back! Styles laughs as Hoyt exits.

Main Event: Best Two out of Three Submissions: Ric Flair vs. Samoa Joe
Flair is slow to start as Joe jumps foreward on the attack. Joe lands some hard strikes before landing a vertical suplex and going for an early Coquina Clutch. Flair hurries out of the hold as Flair and Joe exchange some chops before Joe lunged foreward with a clothesline. Joe continued to attempt some early submissions like an STF and Boston Crab, but Flair escaped both holds. Flair is clearly wearing down early, but continues to fight countering an attempted suplex by Joe into a bell to belly suplex and locking in a Boston Crab. Joe fights out of this lock and both men bring the match back to a vertical base both countering submission attempts. Joe gets the first submission fall when he lands a lariat after Flair missed a clothesline. Joe then locked in the STF and waited for almost 15 seconds before Flair finally tapped out.
First Submission- Samoa Joe @ 7:34
Joe allows Flair back to a vertical base, but Flair is a little of killter and struggles to keep his balance as Joe goes on the attack. Joe delivers some hard strikes before taking Flair down and almost out with an Exploder Suplex! Joe then goes in for the Coquina Clutch, but Flair sprawls out of the ring. The match continues on the outside with Flair using some of his old dirty tactics like eye rakes, low blows and back scratches to the crowds pleasure. Flair looks to have advantage of Joe when out of the blue Scott Steiner jumps Flair from behind and tosses him into the barricade! Steiner beats down on Flair for a little before Foley drops a steel chair into the skull of Stiner. Foley takes Steiner and tosses him into the crowd as they brawl throughout the crowd. Flair and Joe are both slow to get back to their feet, but when they do Flair starts going after the leg of Joe landing some strikes and using the steel chair to cause some damage before tossing Joe back into the ring and gaining the tying submission by locking in a one legged Boston Crab on the leg he was going after. Joe wastes little time tapping out before the damage can be done.
Second Submission- Ric Flair @ 15:09
The camera follows Steiner and Foley for a little as Foley is beating down on Steiner who has a cut over his eyebrow. Foley's assault is interupted by Booker T who starts beating on Foley. We turn back to the match where Joe is limping around, but still has the advantage on Flair. Joe delivers some strikes before attempting a vertical suplex, but Flair's weight applies to much pressure to his leg. Flair begins to take over from that point landing some suplexs of his own and going after the leg of Joe, but Joe gets to the ropes each time. Joe seems to be struggling alot when finally Nash jumps into the ring and starts beating down on Flair. Nash goes after the already damaged back of Flair with stomps. Nash finally finds the opening picking Flair up for the Jackknife when suddenly the lights go out in the iMPACT Zone. When they come back on Nash is on the outside holding his ribs and Sting is in the ring with a bat. Sting spins around, but is hit by a big boot from Joe! Joe then takes his chance to lock in the Coquina Clutch on Flair! Flair struggles for the ropes, but finally taps out giving the Mafia the advantage in the WarGames!
Winner: By 2 submissions to 1... Samoa Joe of the MEM! @ 23:48

Tenay and West are gonig crazy about how the MEM screwed Flair out of the match as Angle, Booker T and Steiner make their way down to the ring. Flair rolls out of the irng with great struggle as Angle grabs Joe's hand and whips into the air to an enormus amount of heat. The Main Event Mafia stands tall for this week as we go off the air with Tenay and West wondering what is going to happen with only two weeks left until Victory Road.
