TNA Against All Odds: D'Angelo Dinero Vs. Desmond Wolfe

TNA Against All Odds Opener:

Ric Flair storms in the Impact Zone upset about getting in a car wreck last week. He's also mad that Bischoff is going to be the referee tonight. Flair says he hates Bischoff's guts and tonight, he's going to make Bischoff pay him the respect he owes. Flair says he's a God around here. Flair says he's looking for Bischoff, OR ELSE.

We get the usual video package that normally opens the show. This package highlights the 8 Card Stud Tournament. The winner of the Tournament will become the #1 Contender, and get a shot at Lockdown next month. There's also a bit about the Championship match between Joe and Styles thrown in for good measure.

The pyro hits and Mike Tenay welcomes us to Against All Odds. He immediately begins to hype the Championship match with Eric Bischoff as referee. He also hypes the 8 Card Stud Tournament, which will open the show. Desmond Wolfe's music hits, and he makes his way to the ring.
