Backstage: Christy Hemme Interviews Eric Bischoff & Gunner
Backstage, Christy Hemme is with Eric Bischoff and Gunner. Eric says Gunner would probably like to destroy his son. He says as his father, he feels responsible for putting him in this position. He pretends to get choked up for a bit while talking about the pressure Garrett must have felt trying to fill his father's big shoes. He offers Garrett and Hulk Hogan a chance to throw in the towel. Gunner holds up a towel and says Hogan will need it.
Garrett Bischoff (with Hulk Hogan) vs. Gunner (with Eric Bischoff)
Gunner is the first man to make his way out to the ring, accompanied by Eric Bischoff. Gunner is carrying a towel in hand, and he and Eric promised backstage. They get a little bit of heat from the crowd, but it seems like the crowd is about as excited as I am. Garrett Bischoff is out next, and since he’s with Hogan, he gets a good reaction. But the crowd immediately chanting for Hogan shows exactly who they care about. Tenay even references that the crowd are standing for “the trainer of Garrett Bischoff”. Garrett hits a running forearm and takes Gunner down with a backslide. Garrett locks on a front face lock, and Hogan is vocal for the first time in the match, telling Garrett he’s doing a good job. Gunner fights up to his feet and out of the hold, but he’s rolled up, then hit with an atomic drop by Garrett. Garrett charges Gunner in the corner, but he’s launched face first into the middle turnbuckle, then hit with a clothesline to the back of the head. Gunner hits Garrett with a knee to the back, before bringing him up and beating him back down to the mat for another two count. Gunner chokes Garrett in front of Eric and Eric lays in a slap. Hogan has had enough and he takes Eric out with a big right hand. Back in the ring, Gunner continues work over Garrett with another neckbreaker. Hogan seems pretty concerned, telling Hebner to check Garrett’s neck, so Gunner picks him up, and hits him with an elbow to the back of the neck. Gunner drops a knee on the back of Garrett’s head, and Hogan is pretty concerned still. Gunner tries for another neckbreaker, but Garrett holds on to the ropes, and Gunner falls to the mat. Hulk heads up to the apron with the towel, but Garrett waves him off. Gunner hits a DDT, and lays Garrett out for the three count. Bischoff is shown peeking over the apron, smiling and laughing. I have to say, this PPV went from really good, to really bad, really quickly. Hopefully the main event will bring things back. Bischoff and Gunner make their way to the back, gloating, while Hogan checks on Garrett, with concern on his face, in the ring.
Winner: Gunner
Backstage: Christy Hemme Interviews Sting
Sting says he wanted to make sure everyone in the match tonight is on their best behavior. He says he’ll make sure Bobby Roode doesn’t walk away conveniently from the match by cheating. He says there’ll be a clean cut winner, and it’s showtime.
TNA World Title: Bobby Roode vs. James Storm vs. Bully Ray vs. Jeff Hardy
Bully jaws with Sting while James Storm’s music hits, and the second challenger for the title makes his way out from the back. Storm gets a nice pop from the crowd on his way out, but you have to think it would have been nice to hold off Sting’s entrance as everyone else’s entrance seems subdued compared to his. Roode tries to forge an alliance with Bully Ray right away, telling him that they can work together. Ray doesn’t look too enthusiastic about the idea. Roode looks reluctant to hand over his title, but he gives it to the ref eventually. The bell rings and Roode continues to try and talk things over with Ray. All four men square off and Ray drops to the outside and crosses his arms. Ray looks at Roode, who turns around into right hands from both Storm and Hardy. They whip Roode into the ropes and hit a double back elbow. Storm and Roode tease the crowd for a bit before trading rights. Storm back drops Roode in the middle of the ring, but charges into double boots in the corner. Hardy is back in and hits a back elbow to Roode and the whisper in the wind to Roode. Hardy sends Storm from the ring with a jawbreaker, but he’s laid out by Ray with a big boot. Hardy hits the twist of fate on Ray, but turns around into a fight, and a TKO from Roode. Roode charges Hardy, but he’s checked across the ring by Ray. Ray tries to splash Hardy in the corner, but Hardy avoids it and Ray splashes the ref. Ray hits Hardy with the Bubba bomb, but the ref is down and Ray’s pin doesn’t mean anything. Hardy hits the twist of fate on Ray, and he goes for the pin but the ref is again still down. Roode hits a spear on Hardy, and Storm hits the code breaker on Roode. Storm calls for the last call and he hits it on Roode. Storm pins Roode, but Ray pulls the ref from the ring. Sting confronts Ray on the outside and Storm leaps over the top, but he connects with the ref. Back in the ring, Roode hits a spinebuster on Ray. Hardy hits Roode with a twist of fate, but misses the swanton. Roode heads to the outside and grabs the belt. Sting heads into the ring and tears the belt away from Roode. Roode shoves Sting and argues with him, daring him to hit Sting before spitting in his face. Sting swings the belt at Roode, but connects with Hardy when Roode ducks. Sting looks furious, yelling at Roode. Roode drops to his knees and yells at Sting to count the pinfall. Roode laughs in Sting’s face as he counts three for Roode.
Winner: Bobby Roode
