Re-Post - Impact Results (With Tons Of Video)
- Impact begins with a recap of past weeks involving Bully-Hogan and Aces & 8's plus Wes Briscoe & Garett Bischoff's heel turn.
- We go to crowd shots from Manchester Arena in England. Bully Ray will team with Sting tonight to face Aces & 8's in a Tables Match.
- Aces & 8's makes their way through the crowd and only one is masked. Devon, Wes, Garett, DOC, Knox, and Mr. Anderson with the guy they call VP I believe. Devon puts over the crew and they cut into a video package of Kurt Angle's beatdown, return, and subsequent betrayal by Wes & Garett. Devon continues with his promo to loud 'WHAT' chants. He introduces Wes and Garett.
Garett gets the stick and notes the disrespect in the crowd and says this is his new family. Wes says he did this because Hulk Hogan didn't answer his calls for 2 years. The crowd drowns him out with 'Hogan' chants. He says his father gave Hogan his first pair of wrestling boots. He gets 'you can't wrestle chants.' Devon says they will always have an Ace under their sleeve, "Testify!" Taz continues to be evasive on commentary.
