All the internet smarks that were so hot for the company in the past have been sounding the alarm, saying that TNA is turning into nothing more then WWE lite. And they, sadly, are right. Total NonStop Action needs to be it's own. Sure, it can be Sports Entertainment. But it's gotta have an edge. So, TNA starts a new era, with the installation of a new head booker, by the name of Brett Michaels. The new era begins the first Impact of August 2007, leading up to the Hard Justice Pay-Per-View. TNA is back to being what it should be. And that means that the WWE, and the rest of the wrestling world, need to watch out. Last Night on Impact: [QUOTE]NEWS AND VIDEO FROM THURSDAY’S HUGE “iMPACT!” BROADCAST ON SPIKE TV By Bill Banks There are several major news items to report from Thursday’s huge “iMPACT!” broadcast on SpikeTV as TNA prepares for “Hard Justice” live on Pay-Per-View on Sunday, August 12! CAGE, TOMKO AND STYLES BLOODY STING AND ABYSS In the main event of the broadcast, it was Abyss taking on “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles in a No Disqualification match. However, the odds were against Abyss when Christian Cage, Tomko and Styles began to brutalize their nemesis. Sting attempted to make the save for his friend, but it was too much for Sting and Abyss. After a mysterious arm dragged Abyss under the ring, Christian and his crew annihilated Sting in the ring – even slamming him into a pile of glass! When Abyss emerged from under the ring, he was a bloody mess. Cage, Tomko and Styles then smashed Abyss into his own thumbtacks! Certainly, Cage and his crew have taken the war against Sting and Abyss to a while new barbaric level of violence TEAM 3D VS. THE STEINER BROTHERS ANNOUNCED FOR HARD JUSTICE! Also on “iMPACT!”, The Steiner Brothers answered the challenge by Team 3D to meet them face-to-face on the broadcast. The two legendary tag teams once again verbally bashed each other – with Brother Ray calling into question Scott Steiner’s recent injury and “Big Poppa Pump” returning fire by mocking Team 3D. However, the Voodoo Kin Mafia interrupted the face-to-face, claiming there was another legendary tag team that the Steiners and 3D forgot about! VKM eventually attacked both teams leading to the Latin American Xchange hitting the ring for an all-out brawl. TNAwrestling.com has learned that the match is now official for Hard Justice as it will be Team 3D taking on The Steiner Brothers! OTHER NEWS FROM THURSDAY’S “iMPACT!” BROADCAST: - Prior to the attack by Cage, AJ and Tomko, the icon Sting was able to defeat Robert Roode in singles action after an assist from Eric Young, who painted his face like Sting earlier in the night! - Dustin Rhodes sat down with Mike Tenay to discuss his recent return to TNA Wrestling as well as his recent attacks of “Wildcat” Chris Harris! According to Rhodes, there’s an alter ego in his mind that is about to unleash itself on TNA and Chris Harris. When will Rhodes unveil this “voice” in his head? - Also on the broadcast, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle visited Dr. Nash to talk about his childhood, his upbringing and his family. According to reports, as a result of his talk with Dr. Nash, [/QUOTE] That's where TNA is. This is where TNA will be.

[/LIST] [B]B[/B] [B]Jay Lethal vs. Martyr[/B] [LIST] [*]Impact begins tonight with former X-Division champion Jay Lethal against Martyr! [*]X-Division action's always great to start a show, and this is no exception. [*]Seratonin's going through some tough times though, and this match is no exception. [*]All Frankie Kazarian has to do is walk down the enterance ramp, and Martyr loses his concentration on the match, which had been open thus far. [*]Lethal capitalizes, scoop slamming Martyr to the mat, then going up top for the... [*]ELBOW DROP! [*]That shook the ring! [*]Nothing Martyr can do, Mark Johnson counts the 1-2-3. [/LIST] [B]C+[/B] [B]Christian Cage Interview[/B] [LIST] [*]JB, Jeremy Borash is backstage with "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage. [*]Borash: "Christian, what do you think about being placed in a match tonight with Sting." [*]Cage: "You know JB, I never back down from anyone. But Sting... Sting and I have had some problems in the past, we have some now, and we'll have some in the future. [*]So for me, it's great to get him right where I want him. [*]And you know since I'm the Instant Classic, the match is going to be great for all my peeps! [*]*Cage slaps his chest* [*]Sting, tonight, I'm going to show you the meaning of Showtime!" [/LIST] [B]A[/B] [B]Motor City Machine Guns vs. The James Gang[/B] [LIST] [*]The Motor City Machine Guns are one of the most exciting tag teams in the world today. [*]Sabin and Shelley have that special chemistry in the ring that makes a tag team truly great. [*]The James Gang are two veterans of the sport, and they work together well too. [*]But Sabin and Shelley are younger, quicker, and just plain better. [*]They take the fight to BG and Kip James, and they can't keep up. [*]Sabin hits the Future Shock on BG James and it's all over. [/LIST] [B]C-[/B] [B]Steiners Taunt[/B] [LIST] [*]Scott and Rick Steiner come out to a good pop from the fans, and Scott grabs a microphone. [*]Scott: VKM! This what we mean when we see you meant nothing! [*]You got beat by two kids just coming up in the business, and you expect us to consider you a threat?! [*]There's no way, and you know it! [*]So at Hard Justice, if you really want to get your a**** kicked, come on down. [*]It's no trouble! Really.

[*]Rhino drives Killings around the ring, sending him wherever he wants. [*]But Don West is happy. [*]In the end, he gets to chant "GORE, GORE, GOOOORREE!" [/LIST] [B]B[/B] [B]Christian Cage vs. Sting[/B] [LIST] [*]This match is a classic, but we already know that. [*]TNA Fans have seen this one before, in many different forms, many different ways. [*]It's a great one though, worthy of the main event. [*]Eventually, AJ Styles distracts the referee, and Bobby Roode throws Cage a chair. [*]He crushes Sting with it, and gets the pin. [*]Afterwards, Styles and Roode argue about who helped Cage more. [/LIST] [B]A[/B] [SIZE="4"][B]Overall: B+[/B][/SIZE]
