Kurt Angle tells us Vince called him s**t and says he ain't seen nothing yet.
Joe vs Cage in a ladder match with West & Tenay pulling the "undefeated" b**ls**t saying no pin & no submit yet again, f**k it's getting old. Sorry to keep repeating myself but he lost his X-div title to Senshi but I have to be the memory of accuracy. A loss is a loss - there are no provisions, so f**k you Don West & Mike Tenay. Good run-ins from Abyss, Runt & Abyss. Rhyno helps Joe to keep the belt again.
Impact 19th oct - Joe is told to give the belt back or leave TNA.

Jarrett finally steals the belt back & Chris Jericho's band Fozzy (named after the Muppet Bear?) get a video promo (tons of vocoder on Chris's vocals btw).
Bound For Glory Pre-show - just a bunch of boring s***ty promo vids of how we got to the BFG matches fronted by pre-taped inserts by Borash and Hemme in an empty Impact Zone. Christy Hemme must be getting used to filming inserts in an empty Impact Zone by now, She's never at tv tapings. The Fozzy vid gets another airing as well. Is Jericho coming to TNA perhaps?
Bound For Glory PPV 22nd Oct 06 - Kev Nash brings a very fake looking trophy that you know is going to get smashed over someone's back.
X-division invitational gauntlet match. Austin Starr (Who?), Sonjay Dutt, Maverick Matt, Jay Lethal, A1 (too heavy to be x div, sorry guys), Zach Gowen (in his 2nd run in TNA), Kazarian (another one who's too heavy to be x div) who eliminated sonjay dutt with the help of maverick matt, Sirelda (the girl who beat up gail kim) gets eliminated by A1 who is eliminated by

Austin Starr pins jay lethal with a brain buster for the win! Amazingly the trophy isn't used as a weapon.
4-way tag match - The Naturals, The James Gang, AMW (with no gail kim) & Team 3d. Team 3d make the win. Weak Match for a PPV.
Monsters Ball no DQ - Special Ref JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS! Abyss, Brother Runt, Raven & Samoa Joe. Everyone teams up on Joe. Jake generally enjoys the show upclose and personal. Joe thru a table off the ramp, Runt onto a platform & Abyss diving on top of him from the scaffolding, Dunno why Jake tried to stop Abyss using thumbtacks (it's a no dq, idiot!). Raven
t**ts Jake, Joe puts Abyss face 1st into the tacks, Jake ddt's Raven as he's hitting Joe with a chair, Joe hits the musclebuster on Raven for the win. Raven gets a faceful of snake as the aftermath of Jake.
Loser Gets Fired From TNA - Larry Zybsco vs Eric Young - Eric Young steals the victory, obviously. Utter s**t for a PPV match.
Jim Cornette comes to talk to us (with a really sore throat). (excellent sign in the crowd - 100% Mcmahon Free). Cue Kurt Angle. Joe tries to have a go, Security splits it up. Twice. Joe begs Cornette "let me fight" and Angle rushes him. Security splits it up again.
X-Division Title Match - Senshi vs Chris Sabin. Sabin wins in a Jackass free match. Can he go back to being serious now?
8-Mile Street Fight - Rhyno vs Christian Cage. Wow, What a s**t match this was. It started in the carpark, worked through the backstage area onto the ramp finally into the ring. They may as well have billed this as a falls count anywhere no dq match. What was the 8 mile link? Was there one? Apart from the street sign? This was a real big push to make Cage a bigger heel. What was the point of the straightjacket? Excellent piledriver thru the table by rhyno on Cage. Cage's pin at the end was total and utter S**T! Could they not make a better finish than this? I assume they stopped on such a c**p finish as Rhyno's head was cut too much or he was hurt.
6 Sides Of Steel Tag Title Match - LAX vs Aj Styles & Christopher Daniels. The rematch from the last PPV. They really should have had this match last or prepared a match on tape whilst the cage was being built. Something short just to fill the space as Tenay & West were c**p at doing that. You do realise how much Konnan does when he's kept out of a match. AJ's frogsplash off the top of the cage was pretty awesome (should have been the match winner right there). LAX win with the gringo killer due to Konnan's outside interference. All the b**ls**t attacking after the match should really be an instant belt loss right there.
Heavyweight Title vs Career - Kurt Angle as Special Ring Enforcer with Sting vs Jeff Jarrett. I can't recall Angle having ever worked with either man here so this was going to be very open. Sting combined his old looks to create a new one. (How did that beardy guy in the front row get away with holding his "Screw Sting" sign?). Sting was being played as ring rusty and Jarrett
was on top at the start for a decent amount of time. Jarrett knocked a cameraman over just after having a dust-up with Angle on the outside. Jarrett managed to nail Angle with a chair (accident, but nicely set-up though). Angle knocking out the ref to take over himself was predictable rather than end by a double count out (how would that have worked then?
Sting gone and Jarrett still champ?). Stings piledriver on Jarrett was on the wrong camera showing how far his head was from canvas. Sting didn't fancy selling Jarrett's figure 2 leglock either. Sting totally punked Jarrett, no-selling the guitar shot which was an excellent "f**k you,
Jarrett" moment. Sting wins the title from the Scorpion Death Lock. Hardly no interference from Angle. West & Tenay gave JJ his props, not too sure about the claim that Jarrett held the NWA belt the most times or the longest. I think Harley Race might have that honour.
I guess this sets up future matches for Jarrett vs Angle and Angle vs Joe. Any chance of Luger and Bagwell getting back in the ring again? Teases of Jericho maybe coming to TNA (unlikely if he's still signed with WWE).
