IN RING SEGMENT
Immortal ( Hulk Hogan & Abyss & Matt Hardy & Gunner & Murphy & Rob Terry) + Sting & Rob Van Dam + Al Snow & Simon Diamond & D’Lo Brown + Fortune ( A.J. Styles & Robert Roode & James Storm & Christopher Daniels & Kazarian): Immortal were already in the ring, Sting and Rob Van Dam were making their way down when the TNA Agents came down to separate them from Immortal. Hulk Hogan said Immortal could fight all night long but it was Sting and Rob Van Dam bringing the agents out to separate them. Hulk Hogan told Sting Immortal will beat them if he knows about the mystery Network opponent. Sting said he knows a lot and said next week “he I mean She” will be revealed. Hulk Hogan got pissed and Immortal jumped the agents, then Sting and RVD came in and Fortune ran down as well to save the day. Robert Roode got on the mic and called Hogan a coward and told Hogan to look at him and called him a son of a bitch. Robert Roode said he wasn’t here to talk about the makings of TNA by him and Fortune, not even the arrival of Hogan, Bischoff and Flair cashing in on their blood, sweat and tears. Roode said he thought Hogan was the inspiration when he was younger but they are two separate people Robert has pride and Hulk doesn’t. He busts his ass to give his children food and clothes, he is a blue-collar worker just like most of America and they earn their keep and Hulk Hogan has earned nothing (Not in TNA he hasn’t). Robert Roode said Hulk Hogan has raped and ruined TNA in the past eighteen months (very true),he crushes dreams, ruins peoples, cruses fans hope’s and said Hulk Hogan FIRED JAY LETHAL, a close friend of his. He did everything he asked for then was fired. Robert Roode said he was Bobby Roode who will stand up to Hulk Hogan and next week everything is going to change! Awesome promo by Robert Roode. Amazing.
