TNA IMPACT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR APRIL 4
C.J. here. LET'S DO THE DAMN THING!
And we are "live!"
Out comes Aces & 8s to start the show.
Mr. Anderson calls us all douchbags, and says he has a very important package.
He's actually holding something. That's not a reference to anything.
Anderson has a leather vest in his hands, and tells AJ Styles that he has an offer for "The Phenomenal One."
Devon is holding a manella folder, and says it's for Brooke Hogan.
D-Lo says he has a gift, but it is one he received. It is a letter from TNA headquarters.
It was a notice of termination.
Crowd: "You got fired! (clap clap clapclapclap)"
D-Lo is not happy he got a letter instead of being called. He calls out the officials in the back. He wants to know why he has been fired!
Out comes Kurt Angle! He's going to walk down the aisle, get in the ring, and tell D-Lo how he really feels.
And we got a brawl!
And here comes back up! Somoa Joe! Magnus! Eric Young! Joseph Park!

In the locker room with Brooke and Joey Ryan. He offers her a sucker.
He's actually holding a lollipop. He's not referencing anything.
Ten minutes in and already two dick jokes. This is a good show.
He asks for a favor. Brooke tells him she's technically still married...
He says that's not it. The Knockouts need a ref, and he's the right man for the job!
Brooke hesitates, but it seems she has no choice. She agrees.
This will only end awesomely.

But Chavo reminds us he is a Guerrero! And Hernandez is strong as a sun of a gun!
That's...okay.
JB wants to sign the contract, but Aries has an idea. He wants some extra perks.
Fruit basket. Green M&M's. And more money for the winner.
Good perks.
Chavo has a stip of his own. He writes something down.
Aries and Roode laugh and agree. They also have one more to add.
Chavo and Hernandez are cool with it.

I still want to know where the hell I can get one.

Hulk tells Styles that he understands what Styles had to go through. The way people dragged his name in the mud. The stipulation Hulk set up at Turning Point.
But now AJ Styles has transformed into a different type of AJ Styles. He has been acting strange, and Hulk wants to know why.
Because TNA is Styles' family, brother. And TNA needs Styles' help.
TNA needs Styles to be dangerous, brother.
Styles stays silent. He looks down at the Aces & 8s vest.
Styles: "You want me, to help you?"
SORRY! ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!
James Storm out to ruin Styles first words!
Not cool Storm.
Storm says he remembers the stipulation that if someone was pinned, they don't get a title shot until Bound For Glory 2013.
And yes, it was Storm who pinned Styles.
But everyone looses bad matches. What is not cool is Styles watched as Storm was beat down by Aces & 8s.
They had been friends for 17 years. Their backs built TNA. They've been to every show. They've driven every mile together. They've entertained the fans together.
From the Asylum. To overseas. To Orlando. And to right here in Tenn.
Now Styles wants to join them?
Well Storm says he can go ahead, because he is not the same guy.
Storm: "You better clock out...before you get knocked out."
Oh that was beautifully cheesy.
Out of the ring Styles goes. He looks down at the Aces & 8s vest as he leaves up the ramp.
