Impact Wrestling starts out with a video of Rampage Jackson’s first appearance in the company. That was last week. Kurt Angle met up with him face to face. What will happen when these two lock-up? It moves to the Bound for Glory Series. Who will be the remaining participants inside the series? We find out tonight. The video switches to Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray. Ray thought he took out all of the top face talent. Jeff came and wanted revenge. As Ray fled, Hulk had the perfect opportunity to take out Bully, but Brooke Hogan made the save. Why did she stop him?
The camera shows the arena as music hits. Here comes Hulk Hogan! Hulk walks down the ramp as the crowd cheers. He has his black jeans on with his red and yellow shirt. Don’t forget the black bandana. He grabs a mic and says Hulk-a-mania is alive and well in Atlanta, Georgia. Last week, things could have been a lot worse. At the end, when Hulk had the hammer above Bully’s head, there was a grace of God that would have stopped him. Well, Ray got so involved in Hogan’s family, Hulk told Brooke to stay home this week. That’s all he has to say about that. He moves to the Bound for Glory Series. Three stars are already in the tournament. They are Samoa Joe, Hernandez, and Jay Bradley. They can sit back and study the others tonight. Hulk wants to bring out the guy who won the series last year and that is Jeff Hardy! Jeff gets in the ring with yellow shirt and shoes. Jeff grabs a mic and says he is sick and tired of Aces & 8s. He will win the series this year and win it better than last year and take the title in San Diego! Just then, music plays and here comes Bobby Roode. Roode gets on the stage with a mic. He states that he is the first ever Bound for Glory series winner. Roode also is the longest reigning World Champion in TNA history. He will be 2 for 2. Hulk says next week is Open Fight Night. He is going to take the fan’s pick through Twitter or whatever they have to do. They will pick on who they want to give the first call-out. Vote on Impactwrestling.com! Roode hopes they pick him because he will look in the camera next week and call out Hardy and will kick his @ss. Jeff tells him to kick it now!
Aces & 8s music plays and here comes Wes Brisco, Garett Bischoff, and they are led by Bully Ray. He has a mic. He wants his music shut off. He then asks why they are arguing. It doesn’t matter who wins the series because they have to face the TNA World Champion. They know who the champion is going to be. Ray has a bigger problem with Hulk. Why aren’t any members of Aces in the BFG series? Hulk thought about it and knows what Aces are doing. There will be an Aces’ Battle Royal and the winner will be in the series. Ray thinks Hulk is trying to one up him. Whoever is in the series is a target of Aces. Actually, Jeff and Roode are a target now. Ray tells Wes and Garett to get them. They enter and fight Roode and Hardy, but they toss Wes and Garett out of the ring. Roode then attacks Jeff from behind and quickly leaves the ring. His music plays.
