Mike Poulin's TNA Impact Recap - Sting vs. Jeff Hardy

Sacrifice Highlight Package.

Eric Bischoff comes out and announces the top ten contenders and here they are.

10 Kazarian
9 Samoa Joe
8 Rob Terry
7 Desmond Wolfe
6 The Pope
5 Abyss
4 MR ANDERSON
3 Jeff Hardy
2 AJ Styles
1 Sting

No real major shocker here as to who is ranked only bid shock is that Rob Terry outranks Samoa Joe.

Bischoff announces that Sting will face Jeff Hardy in the main event before Sting takes him out with a baseball bat shot.

We go backstage to find Miss Teschmacher and Hogan tending to Bischoff. Matt Morgan comes in and wants to know when they will get their rematch for their tag titles. Hogan says Morgan has his rematch and wishes him good luck finding a partner.

Match 1

Roxxi beat Madison Rayne in about 3 minutes with the Barbie Crusher.

We go backstage to Desmond Wolfe and Chelsea. Chelsea is crying and says she doesn't want to be Abyss's property. Desmond attempts to calm her down by telling her your my girl and in 30 days you'll be back with me. Wow Desmond Really that's how your going to calm her down.

Kurt Angle comes out to the ring. Angle says that when he came to TNA 4 years ago he was part of the Elite but now with RVD, Hardy, and MR ANDERSON in the company he's not. Angle says that he's going to reinvent himself and pulls himself out of the TNA TOP 10 and says he's going to wrestle his way through everybody in the Top 10 until he is Number 1.

We go backstage to Christy Hemme who is with Ric Flair and Beer Money. Flair says that imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery and tonight no matter who Lethal's partner is because he has to deal with Beer Money. Kazarian interrupts the promo because he wants to talk to Ric Flair for some reason.

Match 2

Orlando Jordan beat Global Champion Rob Terry to win the title and then assaulted Rob Terry after the match.

Match 3

Rob Van Dam and Jay Lethal beat Beer Money in 4 minutes when Lethal forced Roode to submit to the figure four. We also found out during this match that due to Kurt Angle pulling himself out of the Top 10 that the Number 10 spot is open up and will be granted to the winner of an X Division Battle Royal.

Jeff Hardy comes to the ring and says that he idolized Sting when he was growing up and says that he dares Sting to figure him out within the next hour.

Abyss comes to the ring and calls out Desmond Wolfe and Chelsea and tells Chelsea to come with him. Desmond Wolfe gets the microphone and says that Abyss will take Chelsea over his dead body. Wolfe low blows Abyss and takes out security. Wolfe goes in to his jacket pocket. Wolfe breaks the bottle and slices the wrist of Abyss. Chelsea pleads with Wolfe to stop which distracts Wolfe and Abyss plants him with a Black Hole Slam and takes Chelsea. This could actually be interesting if it ends up with Chelsea turning face at Slammiversary.

Match 4

Eric Young beat Shannon Moore in 4 minutes with a piledriver after Hall nailed Moore with one of the TNA Tag Belts.

Match 5

Kazarian won an 8 Man X Division Battle Royal last eliminating Brian Kendrick in 3 minutes.

Main Event

Jeff Hardy beat Sting in about 7 minutes when MR ANDERSON interfered and the show ends with Sting laying out both Hardy and Anderson with his baseball bat.
