Report by: Josh Boutwell of WrestleView.com

The show starts off with a video package hyping up the big Sting vs. Kurt Angle match for tonight. Nice package that puts a lot of emphasize on how important this match is. The Impact intro hits and we are about to cross the line!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he strolls out to the ring TNA Championship in-hand accompanied by his new Security force. Foley says that he realized when he took the job in TNA that there would be difficult times for him and he says he knew when he shocked the world winning the TNA Title there would be people gunning for his title. Foley says that he realizes there will be a day that someone takes his belt from him but Jarrett has taken away his smile already. Shawn Michaels anyone? Foley says some hard decisions had to be made regarding Jarrett hitting an official last week and he says that he is going to make this decision to Jarrett’s face and calls out the TNA Founder. Jarrett’s music hits and he walks out to the ring while Don West mumbles and says that that’s what Earl Hebner says sound like after Jarrett hit him. Foley is wearing Jeff Jarrett’s t-shirt and tells Jarrett to look at it. He puts over everything that Jarrett has done in the business and says that all that makes what he is about to do that much tougher. Foley calls Hebner a senior citizen and says he can?t let Jarrett run rough shot over TNA. He says as of now Jeff Jarrett will be fined and suspended without pay from TNA. Jarrett says he isn?t going to stand there and allow Foley to make a mockery of TNA. He says Mick’s ?comedy act? is over right now and then starts to leave but Foley stops him. Foley mocks one of the 3 Stooges and screams that that is a comedy act and then points to himself and says this is very serious. Foley got serious real quick. Foley says that Jarrett endangered the life of Earl Hebner and he doesn?t give a damn who he is. Jarrett says that Foley is going to far but Foley says it’s Jeff that has gone too far. Foley says that it’s Jarrett has crossed the line and he tells Jarrett that they can do it the easy way or the hard way but either way Foley is removing Jarrett from TNA. Jarrett says they?re going to have to do it the hard way and then he tries to jump Foley but Foley’s security run Jarrett over. They beat down Jarrett as Foley talks trash to him. Foley says that last week he told Jarrett that his reaction would be hardcore this week and he slides a chair to his security. He calls what’s happening ?tough love? and Rocco & Sal whip Jarrett into the ropes and they go for a double clothesline but Jarrett ducks and clotheslines them! Jarrett then lays them out with the steel chair! Foley looks on in disbelief as Jarrett challenges Foley to get back in the ring. Foley says that Jeff has left him no choice and says that he will single handedly throw Jarrett out after he gets his composure back. Jarrett sets the chair up in the ring and begs Foley to get back in the ring with him as Foley walks back to the back.

In the back Lauren is with Team 3D and asks them why they made the save for Beer Money last week. D-Von says that first, they have a problem with British Invasion because they bit the hand that fed them (saying that they give the Brits a chance in the Tournament but then turn around and jump them). Devon tells the Brits that they have no idea who their messing with and he says the Brits drew first blood but the Brits will soon be drowning in their own blood. Bubba says that the second reason is?the camera pans over and we see Raven sitting in the corner. Lauren says he’s weird and Bubba says he’s crazy. Bubba then says this business is about passing down knowledge and respect. He says they have beaten respect into Beer Money and says that they are the tag team of the future but 3D is still the greatest tag team of the present and at Slammiversary they will prove it. Lauren looks back at Raven then runs away as he just stares at her.

—COMMERCIAL BREAK—

JB is in Jeff Jarrett’s lockerroom and he asks Jarrett for his reaction to what Foley said earlier. Jarrett says that now after having a chance to cool off he understands where Foley is coming from. He says in a fit of rage he hit Earl Hebner and there is no excuse for that. He says that it is his responsibility to set an example to the rest of the roster but everyone makes mistakes. He says he was going to leave on his own accord but since Foley wants to throw him out himself he says he?ll do it Foley’s way and tells him to bring it on.
