Recap of the 2/12 TNA Impact

Submitted By Nick Noel on 02/12/09

Last Sunday was the Against All Odds pay per view. Now it is time to start the Road to Destination X which will take place in a little more than a month. Even though Sting was able to retain the TNA Heavyweight Title, has it unified the Main Event Mafia or has it torn it apart? We saw all of the champions retain their titles, but who will be the next challengers for those belts? Is the Frontline going to be strengthened by the returns of Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles? What is next for James Storm and Robert Roode since they took care of Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed? What about Abyss and Matt Morgan? We start off with a look back at Against All Odds. We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Don ‘Happy Birthday Darren Aronofsky’ West and Mike ‘Happy 200th Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln’ Tenay. We see footage of Mick Foley presenting the TNA Heavyweight Title to Sting after the match, after Earl Hebner already gave him the title belt. Match Number One: Kurt Angle and Sting versus Team 3D Angle and Ray start things off and they lock up briefly. They lock up again and Angle with a waist lock and forearms to the back.

Angle tells Sting to come to the ring so Sting can lay down and the referee can make the three count so Kurt will have his hand raised as champion. Angle says that he will see Sting later. Jeff ‘I am the Founder of TNA’ Jarrett comes out and he has a mic and guitar. Jarrett tells Angle that as the founder of TNA, does Kurt think that he is going to let that happen.
