Impact Wrestling - Wrestling Will Matter


Recommended Posts

<i>OOC: I must admit, this is going to be a challenge. I get on this forum and read Diaries as often as possible. I'm in love with a couple of the Ring of Honor Diaries, with Final Countdown being my favorite. There's a WWE one floating around here and there that I try to follow.

 

I wanted to offer something different for my next Diary and wondered why no one was doing a TNA Diary. Well, there is one, but it's theme follows the beginnings of TNA and not the current product. That's probably a smarter choice as I'm currently finding myself running into so many headaches on how to accurately follow TNA's current product.

 

This is going to be headache inducing, and I'm sure I'm going to run into many mental blocks when it comes to going forward with the TNA product. However, I think I have a few cool ideas. It would also be nice to get back into the writing game.

 

Here we go...?</i>

 

I'll be honest, from the day my father introduced me to pro-wrestling, I always believed I was destined for the business. In the fifth grade when my friend, Jeremy, bought a trampoline I got jealous. Not because he could afford something new and fun, but because he had the opportunity to practice his wrestling anytime he wanted where as I was still stuck, getting yelled at by my mom, for wrestling in my bed.

 

Finally, patience won out, as my parents caved-in and bought me a trampoline. Believe me, I was a wrestling machine. After school everyday my friends and I would gather in the backyard and work matches. Everyone refused to wrestle with me, because I took my stuff seriously. I still remember the day when my inner-Kurt Angle came out and I dropped my buddy, Jon, with three consecutive German Suplexes. I'm sorry about that, Jon.

 

High school rolled around and I couldn't seem to remember what happened in the time between my first day with my trampoline and my first high school girlfriend. I was seriously out of shape. I wasn't even watching wrestling anymore. I chalked it up to growing up, but I think what was really happening was the passion fizzling.

 

<i>Passion</i> that's what returned the very first time I saw a Ring of Honor event. AJ Styles, Low-Ki, and Paul London won me over with their feats of athleticism that night at the <i>One Year Anniversary Show</i>. I instantly fell in love. Wrestling mattered. That's the one thing that kept me gravitating toward Ring of Honor. Naturally, the desire to wrestle returned, but my body, not seeing any activity outside of the school required Physical Education course refused to comply.

 

At this point, you'd think I'd be bummed out or that I'd push myself harder to get what I wanted. I did neither of those things, though. You see, when you're sixteen and still have two years of high school ahead of you, you think you can do anything So instead of worrying about getting in shape to do what I loved when I was a kid, I figured why not be a rockstar, a professional gamer, an actor, a director, a photographer?

 

What I ended up settling on during my first year of college in 2007 was writing. Believe it or not, I could write and do it efficiently. I wrote poems, short stories, sports columns, screenplays, hell, I even attempted a novel. I didn't get paid for any of it, mind you, but it was nice to know I had a talent.

 

At this point, I told anyone who listened that I would someday be apart of WWE's Creative Staff. Looking back on it, though, I feel like that choice was more unrealistic than becoming an actual pro-wrestler. I remember the look my college advisor gave me when I told him what I intend to do with my creative writing degree. Hell, I remember the look I was mentally giving myself when I told him.

 

So here we are in 2011 a semester left of college and I've managed to make some progress in my career, but I'm still so far from where I want to be. Yeah, that's right, I am part of a creative staff. It's just not WWE's. Ever hear of TNA? No, it's not a softcore show. Trust me, that's what I thought, too. Nope, Total Nonstop Action, the Impact Zone...that's my new home. How'd it happen...?

 

Well, like so many other pro-wrestling diehards, I got vocal. I got the idea to create a Youtube channel from a friend, who did the same to criticize all of TNA's shortcomings, and if you knew anything about that company, there are a lot.

 

My Youtube channel grew into a weblog. The blog grew into a Twitter. I wasn't famous or anything, but I was definitely attracting the attention of the internet browsing wrestling fan. The attention, though mostly positive, had its critics. "If you think you can write better than them, prove it!" is what some fanboy said to me on Youtube. I've always been competitive and I've always wanted to prove myself, so I wrote a three month long transcript on how I'd make TNA consistently logical and entertaining. The document ended up in the right (or wrong, your opinion) hands and before I knew it, I was finding myself stationed in Florida.

 

And I'll say it now. Saying <i>is</i> easier than doing.

I obviously missed something because HOW THE HELL IS BROTHER DEVON A MAIN EVENTER OVER BULLY RAY?

 

Wow. This could be fun.

 

I demand you detail all of Tessmacher's ass-moves, though. REQUIREMENT.

 

Also, lrn2workout srsly. Lazy man. LAZY MAN!

 

I also would like him to meet Styles. Would be pretty cool.

Obviously I don't agree with Devon being a main eventer, but the mod I'm using (McD) has him listed and such, so therefore, I must follow through.

 

I'm glad you figured out that the opening of the Diary was semi-autobiographical. I'm fine now. I even tried pro-wrestling for a little. It's not for me. I am a student of BJJ now. My good friend wrestles, though.

 

I'm not going to do too much behind the scenes work on the Diary. Like Final Countdown's RoH work, I'm probably going to start off with just the events and if that's not too interesting, I'll provide behind the scenes stories.

 

Time to work on Impact.

<i>Nightmares truly were incurred for <b>Hogan</b> & Co. last Thursday at <b>Impact Wrestling's</b> <i>Midsummer's Nightmare</i> event. <b>Hulk Hogan</b> and <b>Eric Bischoff's</b> powerhouse stable, <b>Immortal</b>, may have found a new ally in <b>Ken Anderson</b>, but even that wasn't enough to stop <b>Sting</b> from regaining the World Heavyweight Championship.

 

Immortal played all of their hand in an attempt to keep control of the World Heavyweight Championship, but Sting came prepared as <b>Fortune</b> members <b>AJ Styles</b>, <b>Kazarian</b>, <b>James Storm</b>, <b>Robert Roode</b>, and <b>Christopher Daniels</b> systematically eliminated members of fortune in the backstage area.

 

<b>Bully Ray</b>, however, remained untouched and was seen as potentially Immortal's savior, but when <b>Kurt Angle</b> declared his allegiance to Sting, Bully Ray, Ken Anderson, and the rest of Immortal came up short as the title left the Impact Zone with Sting.

 

With the World Heavyweight Championship now in the clutches of the Insane Icon Sting, one would think that the bargaining power Immortal had over the Network would cease to exist. Will order be restored to Impact Wrestling? Find out Thursday night only on Spike TV!</i>

I'll be honest. I don't understand the BFG's series point system. That's why I've just stated that the winners of these matches will receive 7 points. I'd do away with the whole series if possible, but like I said, I'm trying to follow TNA as accurately as possible. I need all the luck I can get.

<i>A video package begins this episode of <b>Impact Wrestling</b> highlighting <b>Sting's</b> victory over <b>Mr. Anderson</b> and <b>Immortal</b> to finally reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship for all of Impact Wrestling.</i>

 

<b>Impact Wrestling - Immortal No More</b>

 

<i>After the video package ran its course, and the camera feed panned over the Impact Zone. Just when the crowd anticipation was about to keel over, Sting's music hit the PA system as Impact's night looked to start on the right note with World Champion Sting.</i>

 

<b>Mike Tenay:</b> <i>Looks like we're getting right to business tonight Taz. The Immortal Icon, Sting is making his way out to the Impact Zone!</i>

 

<b>Taz:</b> <i>No kidding! Sting had a hell of a match with Mr. Anderson last week. What's he doing out here?</i>

 

<i>Continuing with his Joker-lite gimmick, Sting began marching around in the ring in mock celebration. Fans of the WWE product would give a little pop when Sting even pulled off his best Santino impersonation by marching around and playing the trumpet. The Insane Icon finally gave way and took to a microphone.</i>

 

<b>Sting:</b> <i>Testing..testing...testing. Does thing work? Well, hello Impact! Lookie at what I have here!</i>

 

<i>Sting positions his arm to show off his newly won World Championship which delighted the Impact Zone attendance.</i>

 

<b>Sting:</b> <i>Don't I look beautiful with this? Immortal. Hogan. Bischoff. Immortal. Bischoff. Hogan. Anderson. Hogan. I TOLD YOU I HAD TRICKS UP MY SLEEVE! You didn't want to listen, though, did you? You're egomaniacs. You're simply....never....wrong. BUT NOW I HAVE THIS. This title that you guys wanted for so long as bargaining chip. But now that this precious wittle belt is in my hands, the ball game is over! YOU CHOKED!</i>

 

<i>Sting removes the microphone from his face to give off a maniacal laugh before speaking again.</i>

 

<b>Sting:</b> <i>And guess who's been calling me again. Come on just guess. Come on Bischoff, they've called you, too. YOU DON'T WANT TO GUESS!? Fine! The Network wants in again. That's right. The boys and girls in the Spike TV suits are finally done with Manswers and Deadliest Dead Guys. They want in pro-wrestling, baby!</i>

 

<b>Taz:</b> <i>What the hell is he talking about, Mike?</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Your guess is as good as mine, partner.</i>

 

<b>Sting:</b> <i>They're not just sending anyone this time, folks! Nope nope nope nope NOPE! This time, haha, they're sending someone who knows how to get his hands dirty. They're sending someone that they think can save this depressed company from those wretched tyrants. Ladies and Gentlemen...please stand up for....

 

...

 

Wait for it...

 

...

 

PAUL HEYMAN!</i>

 

<i>When <b>Paul Heyman</b> actually appeared on the stage of the Impact Zone, the crowd went wild. The brains behind ECW had a huge smile adorned on his face and he strutted down the ring shaking hands with as many fans as he possibly could before stepping into the ring. He shook hands with Sting before looking toward <b>So Cal Val</b> who handed him a microphone.</i>

 

<b>Paul Heyman:</b> <i>Two things: Russo, pack your bags. You're out!</i>

 

<i>The crowd started a welcome home chant at Paul. Possibly because of his debut, maybe because of his shoot on Russo. Heyman gave a smile and then returned to character.</i>

 

<b>Heyman:</b> <i>Bischoff, Hogan, Immortal. I've got your balls in a vice grip. Sting has the only thing that kept The Network off your ass. Now get out here and let's play ball!</i>

 

<i>Heyman chants continued to swamp the Impact Zone, but were finally quelled when <b>Immortal's</b> music hit and <b>Eric Bischoff</b> came out on stage equipped with a microphone.</i>

 

<b>Eric Bischoff:</b> <i>Who the hell do you think you are? You can't just show up on MY show and call ME out!</i>

 

<i>Sting and Paul Heyman both look at each other, then toward Bischoff, then toward each other again before breaking out in a unison laughter.</i>

 

<b>Heyman:</b> <i>Did you not listen to anything that was just said? I'm with The Network. Sting's with us. That means I own your ass! For the last year, I've watched you and Hogan take this company, run it into the ground, and bleed it dry of its money. The Network tried to stop you before with Mick Foley, but when you threatened to pull the World Champion from Impact, they backed down. Oh, you didn't think I knew about that did you? Well, look where the belts at now. A man who personally came to us and requested that we intervene. And man is it a great feeling to have control over you. Now don't worry Eric, I'm not like you. I'm not here to stroke my own ego. I'm here to give what the fans at Impact Zone and the fans of TNA want to see, wrestling! Which is why I'm going to give you a chance to reclaim what you feel is rightfully yours next week. Next week on free TV, Ken Anderson and Sting will meet one more time for the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!</i>

 

<i>Embracing his new psychotic gimmick, Sting gives a shocked look on his face, holding his right hand to his mouth before running around in a circle.</i>

 

<b>Heyman:</b> <i>Now, Eric, I would let you say your piece, but quite frankly, I don't give a damn. You've done nothing but talk for the last year and we're all sick of it. So cut his mic off and let's get this show going!</i>

 

<i>Bischoff tries to speak, but as Heyman requested, his microphone has no signal. A stressed-out expression drapes across Bischoff's face before Impact goes to its first commercial of the night.</i>

 

<b><u>Singles Match</b></u>

Alex Shelley defeats Amazing Red

 

<i>Though the in-ring action was of standard X-Division flare, the Impact Zone was still buzzing with the debut of Paul Heyman. Not to say that the match didn't receive a reaction, it was just lukewarm at best.

 

The Amazing Red went for his usual match spots including a suicide dive through the middle-rope. Shelley offered his own spots including an Asai moonsault to the outside of the ring.

 

The eventual finish of the match came at 10:16 with Alex Shelley picking up the pinfall after a Sliced Bread #2.</i>

 

<i>Shelley shakes hands with Amazing Red after the finish of the match and asks for a microphone. So Cal Val honors his request and hands him one from the outside.</i>

 

<b>Alex Shelley:</b> <i>I'm not going to take up too much time, but Brian Kendrick. Could you please come out here?</i>

 

<i><b>Brian Kendrick's</b> theme song hits the Impact Zone speaker system and the X-Division Champion walks out to the ring with a look of bewilderment on his face. He steps into the ring congratulating Alex Shelley on his victory but then shrugs his shoulder as if to express his not understanding on why he's been called out.</i>

 

<b>Shelley:</b> <i>Look, I know it's not your fault about what happened last week, I know you didn't want things to end the way they did. That punk, Austin Aries, screwed you, me, and the fans out of a great match.</i>

 

<i>Brian Kendrick wholeheartedly shakes his head in agreement.</i>

 

<b>Shelley:</b> <i>What I'm asking for is one more match. One more match next week for that X-Division Title. I want it to happen. You want it to happen. And I know these fans want to see it.</i>

 

<i>The Impact Zone pops.</i>

 

<b>Shelley:</b> <i>What do you say, Kendrick? One more match!</i>

 

<b>Brian Kendrick:</b> <i>After the last disgrace that held this title, what kind of wrestler, no, a man, would I be if I just turned down opponents? It's no secret that I didn't win the way I wanted to. Being a champion means more than just holding this belt. It means I strong both mentally and physically. It means I stand for honor and respect. Shelley, next week, you and I will dance again.</i>

 

<i>Both individuals shake hands before Kendrick leaves the ring.</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Well, how about that? Two title matches for free on Impact next week!</i>

 

<b>Taz:</b> <i>Impact is going to be off the charts!</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Up next we have some Knockouts action, Taz. I bet you can't wait!</i>

 

<b>Taz:</b> <i>I'll tell you what Tenay, these Knockouts are some feisty tomatoes. I used to be bad back in my day, but these girls put me to shame!</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Winter & Angelina Love will meet Velvet Sky & Knockout Champion Mickie James up next!</i>

 

<b><u>Tag Team</b></u>

Mickie James & Velvet Sky defeat Angelina Love & Winter

 

<i>There wasn't too much to say about the match at hand. The main purpose of the match itself was to set-up two possible storylines leading up to Impact's Hardcore Justice event.

 

Winter looked to prove a statement that she was the deserving #1 Knockouts contender, but a Mickie-DT at 8:29 put a halt to that with Velvet Sky & Mickie James picking up a pinfall victory shortly after.</i>

 

<i>Before Impact cut to another commercial break, the cameras found themselves in Bischoff's office where he was seen on the phone.</i>

 

<b>Bischoff:</b> <i>He's here, Hulk. The Network sent him. I don't know what we're going to do. We've got to get the belt back on Anderson firstly. And that damn Kurt Angle. I hope Bully Ray gives him hell. I don't...wait...you'll be here next week? Are you sure? I know you have a busy schedule. I agree something has got to be done. Alright man, I'll see you next week.</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Now that we're back from break, let's take a look at our Bound For Glory Series scorecard

 

1. Crimson - 31 points

2. Gunner - 28 points

3. Matt Morgan - 24 points

4. Rob Van Dam - 21 points

4. Brother Devon - 21 points

4. Bully Ray - 21 points

4. James Storm - 21 points

4. Robert Roode - 21 points

5. AJ Styles - 14 points

6. The Pope - 0 points

6. Samoa Joe - 0 points</i>

 

<b>Taz:</b> <i>The Pope and Samoa Joe are still at the bottom with the goose eggs, but one of them will be able to break the curse with a victory in their upcoming one on one bout.</i>

 

<b><u>Bound For Glory Series</b></u>

The Pope (0 Points) defeats Samoa Joe (0 Points)

 

<i>Of the three matches that took place thus far, this would be the one that had the hottest in-ring action accompanied by a hot crowd. While their storyline a few months prior might not have clicked with the fans, they were able to use their series of matches as an opportunity to pick up some chemistry.

 

In typical Samoa Joe fashion, the former World and X Division Champion came at Dinero with an array of dangerous moves. The Pope used his quick wits and agility to even the odds which allowed The Pope to get the upperhand at certain points in the match.

 

Joe attempted to go for a Muscle Buster, but The Pope was able to muscle himself of Joe's shoulders and knock him into the turnbuckles. The Pope followed up with a D'Angelo Dinero Express picking up his first 7 points with a pinfall victory at 12:41.

 

The Pope celebrated to the back while Samoa Joe continued to show frustration.</i>

 

<i>The camera once again focused backstage where <b>Austin Aries</b> was being interviewed.</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>Will you make your presence known in the Shelley Kendrick rematch?</i>

 

<b>Austin Aries:</b> <i>If they want to hold hands and kiss. Let 'em. It's obvious they're afraid of me, anyway.</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>Why do you think that?</i>

 

<b>Aries:</b> <i>Look, if you're fighting someone and I attack you. Do you fight me or fight the guy you were fighting?</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>I'd go after you.</i>

 

<b>Aries:</b> <i>And if you're a Champion, who just got the assist of his life, do you go after the guy you just sent packing. The guy everyone has already seen you beat. Or do you step up and take on a new challenger, a fresh face?</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>New challenger.</i>

 

<b>Aries:</b> <i>Bingo.</i>

 

<i>Austin Aries then walks away, the camera heading back to the ring for RVD and Gunner.</i>

 

<b><u>Bound For Glory Series</b></u>

Rob Van Dam (21 Points) defeats Gunner (28 Points)

 

<i>Gunner, who sits just below Crimson on the BFG Totem Pole finally lost some of the steam he was picking up in his loss to former Impact World Champion, RVD.

 

That's not to say Gunner still didn't prove to be a threat to anyone on the Impact roster as Rob Van Dam took some major damage from Gunner, including a snap suplex outside of the ring.

 

Inexperience ultimately led to Gunner's demise who tried for a Superplex off the top rope only to be knocked off and finished with a Five Star Frog Splash, earning Rob Van Dam 7 more points at 13:02.</i>

 

<i><b><u>Updated Bound For Glory Series</b></u>

 

1. Crimson - 31 points

<i>The camera was backstage again where Fortune was seen hanging out backstage before being approached by Paul Heyman.</i>

 

<b>Heyman:</b> <i>When I think of the slogan "wrestling matters" I think of each and every one of you guys. Daniels, Styles, that was one hell of a match you guys had at Destination X. Storm, Roode, I expect nothing less out of you two against Mexican America at Hardcore Justice. Kazarian, you gave Samoa Joe you're all and then some. Excellent stuff guys. Let's talk business.</i>

 

<i>All six individuals head off before the anonymous interviewer is seen with <b>Bully Ray</b>.</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>Are you looking for revenge against Kurt Angle</i>

 

<b>Bully Ray:</b> <i>That son of a bitch took a bat to me. You don't take a bat to me and just think you can walk off. I'm going to make him regret getting into Immortal affairs.</i>

 

<b>Interviewer:</b> <i>Will Immortal be present tonight?</i>

 

<b>Bully Ray:</b> <i>The only thing you should be concerned with is if an ambulance is stationed nearby. Get out of my face!</i>

 

<i>Bully Ray storms off concluding the interview</i>

 

<b>Tenay:</b> <i>Our main event is next. Bully Ray and Kurt Angle after this commercial break. Don't go anywhere!</i>

<b><u>Main Event</b></u>

Kurt Angle defeats Bully Ray

 

<i>Bully Ray was mainly looking to teach Kurt Angle a lesson ignoring the referee's constant warnings of using closed fists and ignoring the referee's request that they bring the action into the ring. However, Bully Ray did not want to disqualified so before the referee could reach the ten count, both individuals found were back in the ring.

 

The warnings didn't stop there, however, as Bully Ray began choking Kurt Angle with his chain, but Angle managed to sandwich Ray between him and the turnbuckle stopping the choke out right.

 

Angle ducked a clothesline from Ray and hit him with a series of three suplexes. The singlet straps came down Angle's arms as he tried for an Ankle Lock, but Bully Ray quickly rolled to the outside. Angle however, chased behind him and winded up tossing Bully Ray into the ring post.

 

The two exchanged a series of punches on the outside before Bully Ray whipped Angle into the guardrail. Bully Ray charged down ringside, looking to smash Angle against the guard rail, but Angle darted to the side with Ray eating nothing but steel. In a daze, Ray turned around and was put out with an over the head belly to belly suplex from court angle, the fans breaking into "TNA" chants. Angle rolled Bully Ray into the ring, but only received a two count for his efforts.

 

The action picked up again this time with Bully Ray taking control as he countered an attempted Angle Slam with a backdrop. Bully Ray then taunted to the audience before going for his chain. Referee, Earl Hebner, tried to step in and stop Bully Ray from using the weapon, but Bully Ray pushed him aside. With the referee in a slight daze, Bully Ray tried for the coup de grace, but Kurt Angle ducked the punch and finally landed the Angle Slam. At 15:23, Earl Hebner counted the pin earning Kurt Angle his victory.</i>

 

<i>Before Kurt Angle could even celebrate, <b>Abyss</b> and Gunner, members of Immortal headed to the ring and assaulted Kurt Angle. Bully Ray even joined in on the fun as Abyss and Gunner lifted Angle up allowing Bully Ray to get some free licks. The assault would continue for several minutes before the lights dimmed out in the Impact Zone. When they came back on, Sting appeared in the ring taking both Abyss and Gunner out with his baseball bat. Bully Ray backed away from Sting begging to be spared, but he was backed into another Angle Slam from Kurt Angle.

 

Immortal took to the outside, talking trash before vanishing to the back. While many expected the confrontation to be over, the focus was now on Sting and Kurt Angle with Sting mocking and laughing at a frustrated and confused Kurt Angle before Impact faded to black.</i>

A watchable show. Dixie Carter is screwing me over on show content, though. I'm working with a 40% match ratio on TV. I've never booked so many angles in my life.

Go to game options, edit data, click Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, click Product, and change it as you want.

 

Also, sad to see Joe take another loss, he's extremely talented.

 

It's fun playing like this. Makes it challenging. If I run into too much of an issue, it will be changed. Guaranteed.

<i>A bombshell was dropped last week on <b>Impact Wrestling</b> when <b>Sting</b> announced the debut of a new Network representative. <b>Paul Heyman</b> turned out to be that representative, and he's already looking to change the face of Impact Wrestling.

 

He immediately announced that Sting and <b>Mr. Anderson</b> will meet in a rematch on this week's Impact Wrestling and also told Eric Bischoff that Immortal no longer assumes full control. With <b>Hulk Hogan</b> returning to Impact next week, how will Immortal fight back?</i>

<i>OOC: I must admit, this is going to be a challenge. I get on this forum and read Diaries as often as possible. I'm in love with a couple of the Ring of Honor Diaries, with Final Countdown being my favorite.

Aww. :o

 

I'm not going to do too much behind the scenes work on the Diary. Like Final Countdown's RoH work, I'm probably going to start off with just the events and if that's not too interesting, I'll provide behind the scenes stories.

Fun fact: when I first started, I intended to do quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff. My early shows all had brief post-show chats between my user character and various members of the roster, and I was planning on expanding even further on that idea. But that was before I realized how much work went into simply writing the shows. Bye bye, behind the scenes segments. :eek:

 

I thought that was an excellent first show. Good luck! Oh, and while I'm at it...

<i>The Heyman Era began with some brief turmoil, but ultimately saw things kick off the right way as the combination of <b>Sting</b> and <b>Paul Heyman</b> over come <b>Hulk Hogan</b> and the rest of <b>Immortal</b>.

 

Two weeks away from Hardcore Justice, a battle has been set that will change the face of Impact Wrestling forever. Paul Heyman set forth a challenge toward Immortal. Five of his against five of theirs. While neither man has an official five man team, it's been revealed that <b>Abyss</b>, <b>Gunner</b>, <b>Bully Ray</b>, and <b>Ken Anderson</b> have been drafted for Immortal. While Sting has been the only confirmed pick for Paul Heyman, it's assumed that AJ Styles will look to fight on his side after the random assault from Gunner last week.

 

Ken Anderson also threatened to walkout on Immortal if they screwed up his title match with Sting last week. While not an outright cause, it can be argued that were it not for Bully Ray's chain, Ken Anderson might not have lost when he did. Will dissension arise?</i>
