Today has been billed as the TNA debut of the one and only Kurt Angle in the form of an interview during hour one that we didnt see in the building and in arena appearance in hour two. Dixie Carter sat in the crowd during hour one and gave some lucky kids free TNA DVDs. Vince Russo stood near my seating location and watched the event. Scattered around the building were signs reminding fan that Impact will be moving to 9pm eastern on November 16th possibly the date of the in ring debut of Angle. Best wishes to Kevin Sullivan who is back in Nashville sick.
Matches and interview segments to air October 12th
Before opening Jeremy Borash found NWA World Heavyweight champion Jeff Jarrett as he exited Jim Cornettes office saying, Some fights arent worth fighting. The introduction played. In the ring was the man holding the NWA World Heavyweight title belt Samoa Joe. Joe said it seemed the jackass who normally caries the title gets time to talk so its his time to speak to the fans. He said his mission at Bound for Glory was to survive the Monsters Ball match. Joe decided to tell the people why he has possession of the belt that belongs to Jarrett, because the fans have seen the belt hostage by the worst of men. From paper champions going back four years in TNA, Joe felt the belt finally deserves respect. Joe ran down a list of champions who held the belt in the past that treated the belt as a testament to being the best. Joe said he would surrender the belt to the winner at Bound for Glory on the condition it came with a title shot. This brought out Captain Charisma Christian Cage who was dressed to compete. He said he couldnt help but over hear the paper champion comment. Joe said to set Cages mind at ease Jarrett was number one on the list and Cage was close second. Cage said no one bought Joe as a champion but they bought him as a Samoan Elvis impersonator. Joe called Cage a jackass which made Cage fire back that Joe has beaten everyone except one person, Christian Cage. Cage said tonight he would get the belt back that was stolen from him by Jeff Jarrett tonight in a match with the belt suspended above the ring in a ladder match.
Mike Tenay and Don West told the home fans about the matches they would see this evening. Jeremy Borash spoke to the Latin American Xchange about the Six Sides of Steel match at Bound For Glory when AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels jumped them, bringing the fight out to the ring. Hotstuff Hernandez was busted open when his head was smashed against a locker backstage. The fight went around ringside and over to the Spanish broadcasting table where part of the cage was set up. Konnan padlocked the portion of the cage keeping Styles away from Daniels. By this time TNA security had worked their way around the back of the fencing to try and stop the damage done to Daniels.
