open the show with a video package recapping last week’s events as Abyss crashed the Extreme party and fought it out with Tommy Dreamer, and then Raven turned on Dreamer to reignite their old rivalry.

Tonight: Abyss & Raven take on Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer, and here comes Tommy now, clearly limping to the ring, to deliver a message: he calls Raven out to the ring to explain himself. Raven comes out to the top of the entranceway and stops, so Tommy asks him why he did it knowing what this meant to Tommy and everybody else. They were friends and enemies, but Tommy thought that was behind them now that Raven comes to Tommy’s house and his kids call him Uncle Scotty. Crowd starts an Uncle Scotty chant. Raven says they’ve known each other for 30 years, and he asks if Tommy really thinks he’s ever going to forgive him for stealing his girl from her, and marrying her, because those kids should be his. Raven decided to bide his time, dealing with Tommy for all these years, and now he got his opportunity to shatter Tommy’s plans into a million pieces. He plans to cripple Tommy (Tommy begins to leave the ring and walk towards Raven), and after he does that he’s going to find Tommy’s wife, give her some Hard Justice, and make her call him daddy. Tommy lays Raven out and starts beating him to smithereens, but Abyss comes out of nowhere to attack Tommy, but then Rob Van Dam runs out to make the save. RVD chases Abyss off with a chair, but leaves Tommy alone with Raven, who DDTs him at the top of the ramp. Mick Foley comes out with a barbed wire baseball bat and gives Raven a shot in the gut with it, then announces that there will be a clear winner at Hardcore Justice because he’s going to be the special referee.

We go to Mike and Taz, who announce that tonight, Beer Money will face the Motor City Machine Guns in Ultimate X, Ric Flair will take on Jay Lethal will take on Ric Flair in a Streetfight, and of course Abyss & Raven will take on Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer.

Ultimate X: TNA World Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns vs Beer Money

Winners: Motor City Machine Guns

it’s Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and Miss Tessmacher, and they’re…WALKING!

Hogan, Bischoff, and Miss Tessmacher in the ring, and Bischoff wants to get right down to business with the Whole F’n Show right here on Impact. Abyss will be facing RVD in a Stairway To Janice Match, and Eric Bischoff is going to be the special referee. Also, the 5th and final match between Beer Money and the Motor City Machine Guns, Kurt Angle takes on AJ Styles, Angelina Love challenges Madison Rayne for the Knockouts Title, Jeff Hardy has an open challenge to anyone in the wrestling world, and Ken Anderson vs Matt Morgan vs The Pope. That is a HELL of a card that we’re getting for free. Kevin Nash’s music hits and he comes stalking out to the ring and he doesn’t look happy. He says he finally gets face to face with them, and once again his name isn’t mentioned. Hogan says Nash needs to open his eyes and see that they’ve all stepped back, and he needs to now too. Hogan actually says their time is over and it’s time for Jay Lethal, the MCMG, Beer Money, and others to step up and take us to the next century. There’s no more conning for paychecks and no more politics, those days are over. Nash is aghast that Hogan is talking to him about politics, but Bischoff says all Nash’s career has ever been has been politics. Nash asks if Bischoff has ever gotten to a point in his life where he meets someone he shouldn’t mess with, and says that person is him, then nails Bischoff. He goes to nail Hogan but Hogan starts firing back on him until Nash gets a low blow and begins pounding Hogan down in the corner. Nash goes to the floor and gets a chair, brings it in the ring, and goes to powerbomb Hogan on it. Bischoff tries to break it up but Nash shoves him off, then thinks better of it and picks up the chair and goes to hit Hogan with it, but now Jeff Jarrett runs in and goes after Nash. Jarrett goes to grab the chair and swing it at Nash, but Sting (wearing red Wolfpac facepaint) comes in and smacks the chair out of Jarrett’s hand with his bat, then nails Jarrett with the bat and tosses the chair to Nash, which he uses to nail Hogan. Is this the return of the Wolfpac?

Christy comes up to Nash and Sting backstage to try and find out what’s going on, but they just get up and walk away. Oh well, let’s go back to the ring instead…

Orlando Jordan vs The Pope

Winner: The Pope

att Morgan runs in and bowls over Pope with a clothesline, but now here comes Anderson, who runs out with a chair and chases Morgan off. Morgan heads for the hills, so Anderson and Pope have an uncomfortable staredown instead. Anderson tosses the chair to the floor, but Overzealous Security Inc comes running out and start yelling at Anderson to get lost. Pope just walks off, but Anderson stares down OZI.

Backstage, Christy is with Ric Flair and points out that he will be disqualified if any member of Fortune interferes, and asks if he can beat Lethal by himself. Flair puts over how well dressed he is, then tells Lethal that tonight, he has to look eye to eye with Flair, the greatest of all time. He is a wrestling god, HIS wrestling god, and tonight, Lethal dies.

Streetfight: Jay Lethal vs Ric Flair

Winner: Ric Flair

Abyss and Raven are backstage, and they’re…WALKING! And they’re wrestling next!

Christy is backstage with Rob Van Dam and says that nobody wants to be in his shoes over the next week. She runs down his matches tonight, at the PPV on Sunday, and next week against Abyss. RVD says she makes him not want to be in his own boots, but here is how the World Champion takes this: one match at a time. Right now, he’s focused on tonight and he’s going to give the fans what they want to see, and after that, he’ll celebrate his victory and focus on this weekend at Hardcore Justice. Jerry Lynn walks in and says that’s great because he’s already focused on Hardcore Justice where they’ll tear it up one more time, then wishes RVD luck tonight.

Abyss & Raven vs TNA World Champion Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer

Winners: Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer

Team 3D run in and bowl over Abyss with a double shoulderblock and go for 3D, but Raven is in with a chair and lays both the Dudleys out. Raven and Abyss celebrate, but the lights go out, and when they come back up, the Sandman is here! He lays out both Raven and Abyss with the cane and stands tall in the middle of the ring celebrating with the ECW guys. Mick Foley comes out with a few more ECW guys who are carrying a cooler and I guess they were ready to celebrate, but instead we go to a video package where all the ECW guys talk about their memories and thoughts looking back on ECW, as well as their thoughts on getting one last shot to do their thing. Finally, we run down the card for the Whole F’n Show next week, and we’re off the air.
