Here comes the Hulkster. Hogan says we're full of it. With that type of energy, he's felt it before. When a company like TNA gets so much horse power, you can start to hear it. Because of the count out in last weeks main event, he's decided, since he can, to make it a Four Way at Victory Road. It's going to be Mr. Anderson, Jeff Hardy, Mr. Anderson and the champ, RVD. Victory Road is going to put TNA on the map. RVD has a target on his... and here comes The Monster (with his old ring music, thank god. Now if only they can get rid of the ridiculous jacket)
Hulk says it's good to see him. He was just getting ready to talk about his blood brother Abyss, and then he comes out here. The first person that he went to in this company, the shining star, the guy he believed in and handed his career over to, Abyss. He asks Abyss what happened last week. Abyss says we don't realize the seriousness of what's going on. What he did last week, and what he will continue to do, he is doing for one reason. And that's because they told him to. They were the ones that told him to break Jeff Hardy into two. They were the ones that told him to destroy anything that gets in his path. They're coming, and they're going to be here sooner than we think. When they get here, there's nothing that anyone, including Hulk, are going to be able to do. Hulk tells Abyss to cut the crap. Hulk told Abyss he needed help and Abyss gave him his word. Abyss interrupts, saying that they told him they don't need him anymore. Hulk asks who they are. Abyss says we're going to find soon enough. They told him they don't need him of the stupid coat. Yay. Hulk tells Abyss to calm down, because there is no they, just Hulk, Abyss and the fans. Abyss tells Hulk there's not a damn thing we're going to be able to do about it. When they get here, they're taking TNA over. And by the way, they told Hogan they didn't need the garbage ring anymore. Abyss chokes Hogan in the corner. He takes the ring and shoves it in Hogan's mouth. His hands are barely touching his neck. He then takes his bot and shoves it in his chest. Abyss now goes under the ring and he's got the bag. It's the glass. YOU!!! Here comes RVD.
He starts taking it to The Monster. He ducks a right and hits the springboard back kick. Abyss catches Rob and powerbombs him. Abyss goes back after Hulk, but here comes Anderson with a chair. He nails Abyss in the back. And again. And again. Abyss no sells it, so Anderson bails out along with RVD and Hogan. Abyss's music plays as they walk away. Abyss calls for the cameraman and says "They're Coming" repeatedly as we head to commercial.
-We're back, and we get a recap of what happened during the commercial break.
-Hogan and Bischoff are in the back. Hogan says he gave everything to Abyss. He doesn't understand. Bischoff asks what got to him, money, ego? He didn't see it in Abyss's eyes (Seriously? Aparently Bischoff never watched old school TNA) He says he couldn't read Abyss.
-Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky are in the back. Velvet's not really paying attention to what Madison's saying. Madison tells her to snap out of it, or it's going to be her carried out on that stretcher tonight.
Match 1 : Angelina Love vs TNA Knockout's Tag Team Champion Velvet Sky
We get a recap of what happened to Lacey last week. Velvet comes out, but no special ring entrance. Damn you. We get a recap of the Lethal and Lace match between these two.
Things start of quick with Velvet taking control, shoving Angelina to the outside. Angelina pulls her out and hits her with a forearm. Spear by Angelina, and she's now hitting her with the rights. Velvet counters Angelina and Angelina goes flying into the ring steps. Back on the inside as Velvet is slamming Angelina's head into the mat. Skyliner by Velvet connects. Velvet is yelling at Angelina now. She goes for it again, but Angelina counters and hits a clothesline. Botox Injection connects. Angelina rolls to the outside and grabs a chair. She hits Velvet with another Botox Injection. Velvet rakes the eyes and hits a flapjack. Velvet grabs the chair. She goes for a DDT, but Angelina counters and hits one of her own. "why didnt the ref just move the damn chair?" The ref calls for a disqualification.
Winner : Velvet Sky via disqualification (Too short to be anything special, but it put over the angle nicely. This wasn't a bad match)
Angelina says that there's one left. Madison is on the ramp. Angelina tells her she's next. Madison says she's not getting the belt back. Madison's lack of concern is kind of ruining this.
-Lethal's in the back, and someone comes in. Lethal says he didn't think he would come. They talk and whatever.
-Mr. Anderson vs Abyss in a Monster's Ball match is the main event for tonight.
-Nash and Young are in the back. Nash says he has to distance himself from Scott. He doesn't have a choice. He's dealt with him for ten years. Nash says he's doing Young a favor.
-And here comes Matt Morgan. We get a recap of Hernandez taking out the ref, and then Morgan screwing over Hernandez last week. Morgan says he told us so. He told all of us so. He told you, he told you, he told you, he told you, and... well she wasn't there, but he would have told her too. He told us he was walking out of Slammiversary victorious. He doesn't sweat Hernandez. He's calling him out right now. (Hernandez is in Mexico right now) Morgan's sick of being sneak attacked and jumped from behind. He tells him to come out right now. Morgan's been let down. It proves his point though, Hernandez sweats Morgan. When TNA Management asked him if he wanted to face Hernandez if he wanted to face him in a Cage match at Victory Road, he was more than happy to. When he beats Morgan, he's going to say it all over again, that he told us so. Morgan poses. HOMICIDE!! He beats up Hernandez, sending him to the outside. Morgan comes back and sets up Homicide on the ring post. CARBON FOOTPRINT!! He says this is going to look like a wet dream compared to what's he's going to do to him (Hernandez). Nowhere to run, nowhere to hid.

Kaz goes for the piledriver, but Lethal counters with the Lethal Injection (the german into the neckbreaker, I guess that's what they're calling it now) for the win.
Winner : Jay Lethal via pinfall (This was mainly used to put over the Lethal/Flair storyline, but we got a nice little match out of it. These two really need more time though)
Lethal celebrates in the crowd. Flair calls out Lethal's name from the back. He and AJ are holding his brother. They tell him to look at this. They start beating him down. Lethal runs to the back. WOO!! We're back to commercial.

He gets to the top, and they start to brawl. Jarrett starts beating on Sting as they walk down. Wait, Sting is in the ring right now. What. So who's Jarrett beating up? BAW GAWD. Jarrett throws fake Sting into the rng. He goes to hit him again, but stops. Real Sting wraps the bat around Jarrett's throat. He's choking him with it. He hits Jarrett in the back with the bat. And another shot. And one to the gut. And another to the back. He grabs a mic. He says if he's going to walk with them, he's going to go down with them. He then leaves the ring.
-Video package hypes up BFG, saying it only happens once a century, on 10/10/10. It's happening in Daytona Beach, Florida.
-We're back, and we get a video package of Desmond Wolfe/Kurt Angle rivalry that happened last year. Awesome.
Match 3 : Desmond Wolfe (w/ Chelsea) vs Kurt Angle
Wolfe doesn't even get his entrance, so you know who's winning this. Not that it was really in question before that. If this gets time though, this should be damn good.
Tie up to start, and Angle wrenches the arm. Wolfe with a snapmare, but Angle doesn't let go. Wolfe gets up and counters into a front facelock. Angle counters out, wrenching the arm again.

Winner : Kurt Angle via submission (Good match here, though it should have got more time. Still, Wolfe looked on Angle's level (and with his recent strings of losses, that's necessary) and Angle continues to move up in the rankings. Not the best of their encounters, but this was still good)
Chelsea is smiling as Angle celebrates. Dinero's next at number 8.
-Anderson shows the bruises he has, because of Abyss. Tonight, Falls Count Anywhere, if Abyss wants to use weapons, he'll be ready, and he'll throw it right back into his face.
-We get a video hyping up Douglas Williams.
-Williams is in the ring, saying Kendrick put him in a submission he couldn't get out of. The world he inhabits is one with a code of conduct. One never betrays their professionalism. He needs to reeducate wrestlers in professionalism and sportsmanship. He calls Kendrick out. Here he comes.
Kendrick grabs a mic. He says he talked to the people in charge. At Victory Road, his destiny will be up for grabs as there are stipulations that come with this. There's something for Williams and something for him. It's going to be an Ultimate X match. As a treat to Kendrick, the match can also end by submission. What? He says he has to end Williams' consciousness. Williams asks if Kendrick is insulting his intelligence. He's more than happy to get his revenge at Victory Road. So why don't they both just walk away now? Williams puts the mic down and tells Kendrick to leave. Williams goes for a cheap shot but Kendrick locks in the cobra clutch with the body scissors. He finally lets go.
-Abyss is in the back. He says one day very soon, everyone is going to realize, he did what he did and he's going to do what he's going to do because they are coming. They told him to break Jeff Hardy, they told him to put his hands around the throat of Hulk Hogan, and they told him to destroy anything that comes in his path, including Mr. Anderson. Because when they get here, TNA will never be the same. There will be no stopping them. There will be no stopping The Monster, Abyss.
