TNA Impact taping
Orlando, Fla.
Report by Dot Net reader A.R.

Ric Flair came out and called out Matt Morgan. He informed Morgan that he'll get another shot at Hardy, but that Flair would be the special referee and that Morgan would have to face Flair tonight. Flair berated Morgan for looking to the crowd for support (the audience accepting Morgan's still-new face identity) and to keep his eyes on God (Flair).
 
A video package was shown to with Raven in Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff's office setting up a scenario of Raven's career on the line vs. Jeff Hardy.
 
Another video showed Tara walk up to Generation Me and say that she'll be watching their match VERY closely tonight, slapping both on the ass as they left.
 
1. Robbie E, Cookie, and Generation Me defeated Jay Lethal, Velvet Sky, and the Motor City Machineguns. Max Buck used The Shore's spray tan bottle on Chris Sabin.
 
A video played that showed Jeff Jarrett talking to his two security guards and saying that because of his newfound submission prowess, he'd be doing an MMA demonstration with six of his students. He said they needed to keep Kurt Angle out of the building by any means necessary. Jeremy Borash was assaulted by Jarrett for being like the fans who look down at Jarrett and say that he's sold out.
 
Double-J MMA demonstration: Jarrett proceeded to demonstrate four submission holds on four of his six students, with the crowd displaying no interest whatsoever. Samoa Joe's music hit, and he called Jarrett a "Sad, silly, son of a bitch." Jarrett said that he has two students left, so if Joe could make them tap, Jarrett will face Joe in a submission match tonight. It took Joe all of 45 seconds to handle the two students, with Jarrett running away saying "Not tonight" to the camera.
 
2. Jeff Hardy defeated Raven. Tommy Dreamer, Brian Kendrick and Stevie Richards supported Raven as Hogan fired him, with Dreamer saying that he has nothing but respect for Raven after losing so many fights to him. In a segment stated to be off camera, Dreamer asked the fans to never stop supporting wrestlers that have lost their jobs.
 
Back on camera, Dreamer called out Rhino and demanded an explanation. Rhino said that he's an honest man, and when Bischoff first said that he could stick with EV2 and watch his contract expire or work for Bischoff and remain employed. At first, he told Bischoff to go to hell, but then thought of his daughter and how he was in TNA years before RVD and Tommy Dreamer, and that they were now stealing all the glory and shoving Rhino to the side. Rhino said that he doesn't take a backseat to anyone and is now thinking only of himself. Dreamer reminds him of what just happened to Sabu and Raven, saying that they're all in the same boat, and that Rhino is turning his back on the fans. Rhino attacked Dreamer and later RVD when RVD checked on Dreamer.
 
3. Abyss fought Shannon Moore to a no-contest in a casket match. The match ended when The Pope appeared from inside the casket and fought Abyss off Shannon.
 
4. Mickie James defeated Angelina Love in a No. 1 contenders match for the TNA Knockouts Title.
 
Brother Ray came out and said that he attacked Devon because Devon's weakness was the reason Chris Sabin kicked out of the greatest tag finishing move ever, the 3D, aka the Dudley Death Drop (which Ray claimed the invention of). He said Devon was never his partner, but his sidekick, always standing, not beside him, but to the right and two steps behind, and that any one of his brothers could have been his tag mate.
 
5. Matt Morgan defeated Ric Flair. The ref was absent for most of the match with Flair pushing Morgan into him. Fortune came down and assaulted Morgan except for Douglas Williams, who conspicuously stood to the side, eventually getting into a shouting match with AJ Styles. Williams then assisted Morgan in repelling the other members of Fortune, allowing Morgan to hit the Carbon Footprint on Flair for the win.
