TNA iMPACT Report Airing May 7th, 2009 Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider
We start off with a look at the anarchy in TNA since Executive Shareholder Mick Foley is champion, Hard Hitting Soft Speaking Bobby Lashley walks out, and Samoa Joe has moved to his Nation of Violence. Who will sacrifice enough to be in the title match at Sacrifice?
We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Don ‘Predator’ West and Mike ‘Who Wants to see the Las Vegas Coyotes’ Tenay.
The Main Event Mafia come to the ring and they are in full force tonight. Kurt is on the mic and he tells Mick Foley that he made it perfectly clear last week that if you screw the Godfather, you get the thorn of the rose. Kurt has a rose with him. He says that he would do everything last week and he entered the office with Sting and he kicked Foley’s ass. The only reason he did not take over Foley’s job as Executive Shareholder was to save Foley some dignity. Angle says that he will be in the main event at Sacrifice. That means that he will be wrestling for the TNA title. Angle says that he made Jeff Jarrett an offer that he could not refuse. Angle is in the match because if he is pinned, whoever pins him will be the Godfather of the Main Event Mafia. Angle says that he is here to address some rumors about a ten man tag match involving the Main Event Mafia. Angle asks Foley why would he put that match on free television. Then he asks Foley would he not tell the Main Event Mafia about it. Angle says that Foley may book the matches, but the Main Event Mafia runs the show. If the Main Event Mafia is indeed in this ten man tag match, Mick Foley needs to get out to tell them what is going on.
Mick Foley comes out with Christopher Daniels. Foley says that there will be a ten man tag match tonight. Mick says that they need a show of power and that is why they are having that match tonight. Mick says that he has been immune from the Main Event Mafia until last week. Mick mentions the chair shot. Mick says that he did not expect to see Sting after the beating he gave Sting at Lockdown. There is a big difference between what Angle and Sting did to him last week and what he did to Angle two weeks ago. Mick says that he was saving a friend two weeks ago. Angle points out that Foley might have had 25 stitches, but he won a gold medal with a broken freaking neck. Foley says that there were guys like Daniels who helped him in TNA. It will be Daniels, A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Jarrett (did you know he is the founder of TNA) who will join him tonight in the ring. Angle tells them that it will be their funerals if they come out tonight. Mick says that after he beats Angle at Sacrifice, he will become the Godfather of the Main Event Mafia.
Jeff Jarrett comes out and he is joined by A.J. Styles. Jarrett is not happy with Foley’s decisions. Foley says that he might have said some things that he shouldn’t have said. Mick says that it was always business and never personal. Jeff tells Foley to kiss his ass and that is business.
Angle tells Jeff to hold on and get ready for the ten man tag match. Angle wonders if they can get along.
