Garett Bischoff is backstage, and he’s…WALKING!

Garett Bischoff comes out with his Lethal Lockdown team to thunderous applause from the crowd for getting rid of his old man. Can’t say I disagree with the sentiment. He says that Lockdown was one of the biggest nights of his life: the stakes were high, the task was tough, but they all fought a hell of a fight, came out on top, and they were victorious and got rid of his old man once and for all. He thanks his partners and says he couldn’t have done it without them, and then AJ takes the mic and says that Garett has some balls. He took a beating, got back up, and smashed a guitar over his daddy’s head. Uh oh, Ric Flair’s music hits and here comes The Old Man. He says that the talent in that ring, and there is talent in that ring, but they’re all only here because of Eric ********. Yes, they actually bleeped his name out.

We’re out to the ring where Samoa Joe & Brutus Magnus, Gail Kim, Devon…okay, Spike’s feed gets all messed up again, the screen goesblank, and we hear a test pattern beep until we go to commercial again.

Okay, we’re back at Impact and all the champions are in the ring, but Hulk Hogan sees Rob Van Dam on his way to the ring and says that he wants to make tonight’s Hardy-Anderson match a three way and suggests that maybe he ought to get someone who was a champion and never lost his title. RVD says he knows somebody, and Hogan says he does too, and it’s R…V…D. He says Van Dam is in the main event, then heads out to the ring to address the champions.

Hogan announces Open Fight Night, which will consist of a few things: first, a wrestler from outside TNA will have the chance to come in and wrestle, and if Hogan and his panel of three judges all like the wrestler, they’ll be signed to a TNA contract. Also, any wrestler can challenge any other wrestler and the person being challenged has to show up, including the champions. Bobby Roode is pissed off and asks Hogan if he knows who he is, and then Gail Kim asks Hogan who gets to decide which champions are wrestling, and Hogan says he would. Finally, he wants to inform Devon that his TV Title will now be defended every week on Impact Wrestling. Hey, that sounds good! And since Gail is already in the ring…

James Storm comes out to the ring and shakes Devon’s hand as he makes his return to the locker room, and we’ll find out what he has to say next!

Okay, we’re back and Storm says he just wanted to come out here real quick and say something to his family, friends, fans, and people here in the Impact Zone…and that’s that he’s sorry. He feels like he let everyone down because he said he was going to win the World Title and it was something he believed that he was going to do. He didn’t just want to cause Roode pain for the disrepsect he showed his family and the fans, he wanted to hurt him, and that’s where his ego got involved because he looked at the paramedics attending to Roode and he thought that was good enough. But when he got to the back, he wondered if he’s good enough and if this is something he still wants to do, then he had to take the long drive home, and when he tucked his daughter in, she asked where the World Title belt was and it killed him to tell her that he didn’t win it. Anybody with kids don’t want to make their kid think they’re a failure, and he had to look at himself in the mirror, but when he did, he saw a man that was beat. But even though Bobby Roode won the match, he didn’t beat Storm. He beat himself, and for 15 years he’s wrestled with all kinds of injuries, and he did it because every time he got in the ring and the fans would chant his name (fans start a “Cowboy” chant), it makes this a piece of Heaven for him and he thanks each and every one of them for his life. Most of all, he wants to say he’s sorry to his dad, who’s up in Heaven right now, and Roode said something that stuck in his head about his luck, and maybe he was right. Maybe Storm’s luck has run out (fans start booing and yelling no at him), and Storm gets ready to continue, but just drops the microphone and walks to the back as the fans chant “Cowboy” at him.

It’s main event time!

EY says last time he saw him, he was mixed up with that Immortal group, so Joseph hands him his card and thanks him again.

We go out to the ring with the Motor City Machine Guns, and Chris Sabin says that injury after injury has plagued the MCMGs, but no more, then hands the microphone to Alex Shelley, who says that the MCMGs have been teaming for over six years, while Samoa Joe and Magnus have been teaming for six months. Shelley says Morgan and Crimson rub baby oil on each other, while the MCMGs beat Beer Money, they retired Team 3D, and this Sunday, they’re not wrestling Curry Man and Shark Boy, they’re wrestling one of the greatest teams ever, and they’re going to be the new TNA World Tag Team Champions. Samoa Joe and Brutus Magnus come out to the ring to put the MCMGs over as one of the most impressive teams of all time, and Magnus says Sabin has his respect for coming back from injury, but it’s not about who the best team ever is, it’s about who is the best team right now. At Lockdown, the two best teams on the planet go at it to see who is the best of the best and who deserves to be the champions. Magnus says they look ready, and he and Joe are always ready, so if they don’t want to wait, they can go right now. Wait a minute, Mexican America’s music hits and they come out to crash the party. Anarquia says they were champions for six months and if they want to be left out of the picture, they have one thing to say.

Awesome match! This may have been the best match on Impact in months, and now the best of three series is tied up at one apiece.

We’re back and the steel cage is being built for the wedding, but first, Jeff Hardy comes out to the ring to tell us that the thing with Angle started when Angle cost him the World Title, and it’s going to end in the steel cage. They’ll make history this Sunday, they’re going to hurt each other, and it’s inevitable. Hardy puts the microphone down and heads to the back. Short and to the point.

We look back at last week when James Storm (joined by his theme music guys) says he’s sick of Bobby Roode’s bulls**t, and then the music guys say that after Storm kicks his ass at Lockdown, he hopes they leave the cage open so they can get some too.

EY is backstage getting himself psyched up for his wedding when Sarita and Rosita walk in dressed like skanks to try and scare EY by telling him that they don’t think he and ODB are a good fit, and once he has that ring on, he’s stuck with her. They flash their boobs at him (I swear I’m not making that up) and asks Eric if he thinks he’s going to be missing anything, but EY freaks out and runs off.

It’s wedding time, and there’s a preacher behind a camouflage podium looking solemn as Eric Young comes out to the cage dressed in what appears to be one of Vince McMahon’s old, powder blue jackets. The Knockouts Tag Team Title belts are proudly on display as the bride music hits…then turns off. EY looks confused, but then ODB’s regular music hits and she comes out in a dress that looks like it was torn off a shower somewhere. Strangely, it’s the most feminine she’s probably ever looked, and she chains the cage door shut behind her so Eric has nowhere to run. The preacher says how symbolic the cage is for marriage because of the strength it takes to live in marriage together. We see a music video looking back at the crazy love Young and ODB have shared and how we got to where we are today, and then we hear they’re vows which they’ve prepared for each other. Eric says he promises to stay with ODB, even when she farts, and let her rub his feet anytime she wants…because he knows she’s into that. He vows to be his tag partner in wrestling and in life, now and for the rest of their lives together. ODB promises not to take his last name, but will take his ring music, and to slap his ass whenever necessary…because she knows he’s into that. She promises to give him a buffet of BAM anytime he wants (that gets an ODB chant from the crowd), then the preacher asks if anyone has a reason they should not be married, and of course Sarita and Rosita come out to object. They tried to show Eric what a real woman looks like backstage, but he ran. They’ll give Eric one last chance to choose whether he wants to stay with that beast, or be with the greatest Knockouts Tag Team Champions of all time. Rosita strips her robe off and she’s got her stripper outfit on underneath as Sarita says that could be all his. Now Sarita takes her robe off and she’s wearing a matching stripper outfit and shakes her ass as ODB starts crying. ODB says she gets it, she doesn’t have what those girls have, but those girls don’t have what she has. ODB tears off the dress to reveal her own underwear with her big BAMs and asks Eric what it’s going to be. Crowd chants for ODB, and EY walks over and holds her hands and says that she’s perfect for him and he’s been dreaming about this since she was a boy. He wanted to make this wedding perfect, and now they’ve found a way to make it perfect. Eric strips down to his own underwear, then ODB tells the preacher (who has somehow managed to keep a straight face through all this) to strip down as well so everyone matches. The preacher shrugs and decides to go with the flow, then asks Eric if he takes ODB to be his lawfully wedded wife. The crowd does the Daniel Bryan chant and EY says absolutely. Same question for ODB, same Daniel Bryan chant, and ODB says BAM, then the preacher pronounces them man and wife and ODB climbs on top of Eric as we get our happy ending.

We go backstage to Team Bischoff as Ric Flair gives Bully Ray a pep talk in preparation of his tiebreaker match with the third member of Garett’s team.

Bobby Roode is backstage with his security team and says that James Storm wants to see him face to face, and that’s fine because this is personal.

Bully Ray vs AJ Styles

Bubba has all of Team Ric at ringside, while AJ has Team Garett come out to the ring with him. Bubba takes AJ to the corner and tries a cheapshot, but AJ moves out of the way. Bubba takes AJ to the corner again, and AJ dodges another shot and this time returns fire. AJ gets a side headlock on Bubba, but gets eelvated and dropped hard to the mat with a back suplex. Bubba unloads with right hands and elbows, but comes off the ropes right into the swanky dropkick from AJ, who charges Bubba and gets backdropped out to the ring apron. Bubba boots AJ to the floor and Team Eric tries to go after him, but Team Garett shows up to stop them and leave this man on man. Bubba slingshots AJ into the ring and locks in a tight bearhug, AJ breaks free but takes a high BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK BODYDROP. Bubba misses a big splash and AJ starts firing back, comes off the ropes with a leaping clothesline, another one in the corner, but Bubba blocks a tornado DDT and gets a Samoan drop for 2. Bubba goes to the second rope, but AJ quickly gets to his feet and nails Bubba, then hits a Frankensteiner out of the corner and covers for 2. Frankie Kazarian grabs AJ’s ankle from the floor, and both teams wind up brawling on the floor as AJ hits a Pelle kick on Bubba and covers for 2. AJ goes out to the floor to join the fray as Eric Bischoff tosses Bubba his chain wallet, then Bubba nails AJ in the face with the chain as he comes off the top rope and covers him for the win.

Winner: Bully Ray

Team Eric celebrates, but Hulk Hogan’s music hits and he congratulates Eric on his win, then says he’s changing Lethal Lockdown to a five on five, and gives Eric three minutes to decide who his fifth man is. Hey, what a coincidence, we just HAPPEN to be going into a commercial! How about that?

We’re back and Hogan says Bischoff’s time is up, and Eric begs Ric Flair to join the team because he knows Hogan is going to make himself be the fifth man, then does an about face because he wants to stand over Garett’s broken body at the end, so he names himself the fifth man. Hogan says Eric is so predictable, but Hogan says that he’s taking his GM position seriously and won’t be in the match. However, he informed Garett of the change to five man teams a few days ago, and he and Garett introduce their new fifth man: Rob Van Dam, making his return to TNA after months off TV.

We go to a video package of James Storm, voiced over by Bobby Roode talking about how Storm winning the title before him was a joke because he carried Storm to all those tag titles and made him who he is. He’s accomplished a lot since Roode kicked him to the curb six months ago, and there’s nothing Roode won’t do to keep the title, and he won’t hold back because he’s going to prove that he’s the World Champion for a reason. We then go to James Storm, who says it took ten years to build a company, four years to build a friendship, and one bottle to ruin it all. But in three days, the bulls**t stops. Seriously, this may be the best build to any match in TNA history.

Gail Kim & Madison Rayne vs Velvet Sky & Mickie James

Anyone else notice that Gail Kim’s old music sounds a hell of a lot like the old Sid Justice entrance music from 1991? Velvet didn’t let the pigeons loose as she got into the ring, and Taz gets all bent out of shape over Velvet destroying the gimmick. Mickie and Madison start us off, Madison yanks Mickie to the mat by the hair, but Mickie catches her with a dropkick. Madison gets pissed and boots Mickie in the skull, then tags out to Gail Kim, who comes in and is promptly flapjacked in the middle of the ring. Velvet tags in and Gailimmediately bails to her corner and tags out to Madison. Velvet kicks the crap out of Madison and snapmares her so Mickie can come in and wipe her out with a basement dropkick. Gail hits Mickie from behind, then tags in and unloads on Mickie with kicks and a hard clothesline. Mickie and Gail double team Mickie, but Mickie dodges a charge and Gail crashes into the second turnbuckle, awkwardly crashing ribs first, and Mickie manages to make the tag. Velvet Sky comes in and unloads on Gail, then snaps off a flying headscissors and a running bulldog for 2. Velvet hits a snap DDT and then goes back after Gail, Velvet blocks Eat Da Feet and hits the sitout Pedigree, then pins the Knockouts Champion to win the match.

Winners: Velvet Sky & Mickie James

It’s time for the final face to face confrontation between James Storm and Bobby Roode before Lockdown this Sunday. Storm says that for the last few weeks, they’ve done a lot of talking. He asks if he remembers the time they were on a fifteen hour plane ride to Japan and laughed because they never thought they’d be the World Champion. They’re four time TNA World Tag Team Champions, the longest reigning tag champions in the history of TNA, travelled all over the world, entertained millions of people, kicked a lot of butt, and drank a lot of beer. Crowd starts a “beer” chant, and Roode says he’s not going to pretend that Beer Money never existed. Beer Money was one of the greatest teams in the history of the business, and being part of it was one of the proudest moments in his career in life, but there’s another proud moment that they probably both remember, which was last year when they put their tag team aspirations aside and entered the Bound For Glory Series for a shot at the World Title. They both wound up in the final four and made it to the semifinals, but only Roode made it to the finals, and he went on to win the whole thing. That sent him to Bound For Glory where he challenged for the World Title while Storm sat in the back twiddling his thumbs and drinking his beer. Storm says he remembers doing something: he was sitting their drinking beer and watching the monitor when Roode got beat. Storm asks if he remembers the next week when he beat the guy who beat Roode, in record time no less. Roode says he vaguely remembers it because Storm’s reign was so short that two weeks later, Roode not only beat him for the title, but became the It Factor of professional wrestling and the leader of the selfish generation. Storm says he’s glad he brought that up because it was the night Roode hit him in the head with a beer bottle and destroyed the legacy of Beer Money and their friendship. Roode tells Storm to cut the bulls**t because they were never friends. They hated each other when they met, and the only reason they were so successful was because of their individual passions for the business. All the stuff about hanging out drinking beer is crap because they hated each other, and from day one, Storm has been jealous of him. Storm asks what he has to be jealous of, because where he comes from, family and friends mean something and you don’t sell them out for money like Roode did. Storm does this for the love of the sport, and he does it for all the fans, and his superkick leg is getting tired from the trip down memory lane, so no more history class because in three days, they step into the cage to kick the crap out of each other in Storm’s hometown of Nashville, in front of his friends and family. Roode says he doesn’t give a crap about Nashville, his hillbilly wife, or his redneck kids. Storm takes his jacket off and so does Roode, and Storm says Roode won’t need luck, he’ll need a damn miracle to walk out of that cage, and Roode says he’s heard Storm’s line a million times and he’s sick of it. He tells Storm to look at him, dammit, and in three days, Storm will be lucky to walk out of that cage, and says that Storm has no luck with his two dead brothers and his dead father. Storm and Roode go nose to nose, and we go off the air.
