Thursday, January 4, 2007
iMPACT! Zone; Universal Studios Soundstage 21

The show opens with the recap from last Thursday reviewing Samoa Joe’s awarding of Mr. TNA in the Year End of Awards, and Kurt Angle’s attacking of Joe’s girlfriend to force Joe to agree to a rematch at Final Resolution.

Samoa Joe barges into Jim Cornette’s office and demands that he be allowed to fight Kurt Angle tonight. Cornette explains that there is already a main event for the evening involving Angle and co no. 1 Contender for Abyss’ World Heavyweight Title, Christian Cage. Cornette asks that Joe leaves the building for the shows sake as well as the fans safety. Joe recants that Kurt Angle started something and that Joe would end it. Cornette can only watch and sigh as Joe leaves the office in search of Angle.

Match One: Robert Roode v. Rhyno
During the entrances Roode sends CEO Miss Brooks to the back presumably to continue her sexual advances onto Eric Young in order to woo EY to Robert Roode Enterprises. The match has a lot of power moves with an insane amount of Irish whips. About two minutes in the match Miss Brooks runs to ring side looking slightly sexed up. She attempts to distract Rhyno but it backfires and Roode gets rolled up by Rhyno to end the match. Roode berates Brooks to the back as AJ Styles jumps Rhyno. Rhyno takes the beating and starts to get the upper hand on Styles but Roode runs back in and the two stomp the hole in Rhyno. Roode tells the Phenominal One to finish him, and without skipping a beat AJ executes the Styles clash on the Man-Beast to end the segment.
Winner: Rhyno

Backstage Jeremy Borash is waiting outside of Jim Cornette’s office when Eric Young asks JB for advice for “a friend.” EY explains that he has this friend from Kansas who ISNT a virgin with this woman problem. Borash suspects that it is Super Eric’s situation with Miss Brooks but before he can elaborate, Miss Brooks walks up and asks Young if he has what she had asked for. Young shows an expression that he does not. Miss Brooks says if he doesn’t bring what she wants, EY will be fired. Young tells Borash that his friend is REALLY in a pickle now.

Jeremy Borash finds Joe backstage and asks him why he hasn’t left the iMPACT! Zone as per Jim Cornette’s request. Joe explains that Angle has tried for 4 weeks to get Joe’s attention and now that has worked. Joe recounts that this fued was once about competition but now its personal. The Samoan Submission Machine says that he will leave, but only after he gets what he wants.

Voodoo Kin Mafia comes out wearing sombreros and ponchos. BG James talks about how Vince McMahon and Paul Levesque hasn't responded to their challenge yet. They repeat the challenge from Turning Point, and noted that they tried to issue the challenge at a live WWE event to no avail but a goofy waive from one HHH. They say that they would have to "step things up" and they would deal with Michael Hickenbottom directly. They challenge him to show up at the Alamo at "High Noon" the following Wednesday to accept the challenge, and then they will tape it to be shown on Impact

Next Stage of the PCS Series is Musical Chairs which is without music, but rather Kevin Nash singing through a bullhorn. Austin Starr wins, current points stand as:

Austin Starr – 18 pts
Jay Lethal – 15 pts
Alex Shelley – 15 pts
Sonjay Dutt – 14 Pts
Senshi – 13 Pts

Match Two: Mexican Street Fight: Homicide v. Brother Runt
Brother Runt attacks the 187 Homicide mid entrance as Mike Tenay announces that Team 3D’s challenge to the LAX for Final Resolution has been accepted. Runt is on the offence early taking the fight to the outside. Runt at one point wraps a chair around Homicide and tosses him into the steel ring post. Homicide rebounds however tossing Runt aside, the goes for a latter. A nasty looking bump occurs when Runt has his head in between the closed ladder steps (airplane style position) and Homicide slams a chair into his head busting him open. The match comes to a close when Konnan distracts the referee and Hernandez runs in to drop Runt allowing Homicide to score the pinfall victory. LAX performs the ritual gang style beatdown until Team 3D makes the save.
Winner: Homicide

James Storm gives Gail Kim 7 days to choose his side over Chris Harris citing that Harris will not come back to TNA Wrestling.

Match Three: Kurt Angle v. Christian Cage
Christian’s entrance was interrupted by Cornette as he informs Tomko that his interference will not be tolerated. Therefore Jim Cornette banishes Tomko from being ringside during the Final Resolution World Championship Match.
Winner: No Contest

Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle is a no-contest. As Angle comes to the ring, Samoa Joe attacks him, and they brawled all over the arena. Security separates them bringing out Jim Cornette who says to let them fight, and tells security to just make sure the fans don't get hurt. Joe and Angle brawls out of the building using chairs and wet floor signs. Jim Cornette announces that at Final Resolution that Joe vs. Angle will be a 30-minute Ironman match being as Cornette obviously can not control the two. Christian and Angle finally happened, with Tomko attacking Angle, and the lights go out with Sting appearing in the ring to end the show.
