TNA iMPACT!
Orlando, Florida (Impact Zone)
April 5, 2010

Hulk Hogan's music hits and he leads Jeff Jarrett & Abyss out to the ring. Taz says that Eric Bischoff is not here tonight for unknown reasons. Hogan grabs the microphone and says they have some 'horse power' behind Team Hogan. Hogan says Ric Flair has shown his true colors over and over and if he wants to be a 'big dog' in TNA he has to beat Team Hogan. Abyss says that Flair may be a legend but he promises that Flair has never dealt with the likes of this "blood thirsty, 6'8" 350+ plus pound, weapon of mass destruction!" Abyss says at Lockdown in the Letha Lockdown when they lower the top of that cage and lock them in like a bunch of caged animal with weapons all around will Team Flair truly realize the definition of pain & suffering! Abyss says it makes no difference who the other three members of Team Flair are because at Lockdown Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, and the rest of Team Hogan will kick Team Flair's a**! Ric Flair's music hits and it looks like Naitch is none too happy as Chelsea rolls him out onto the stage. Desmond Wolfe, Sting, & Beer Money then walk out of the tunnel behind Flair! A huge "Hogan" chant has started. Flair says he is about to speak and tells the fans to shutup. Flair makes fun of Abyss and Jarrett being Hogan's team and then says to look at his. Flair puts over Desmond Wolfe and then calls Beer Money his "bad a** cowboys" and then calls Sting a wrestling icon. Flair says there is more history Sting and he then there is in the entire wrestling world (FACT). Another "Hogan" chant starts and again Flair gets pissed about it. Flair asks Chelsea to come into view and then screams "WOOOO". Flair says he has his Hall of Fame ring on because he IS the Hall of Fame and then says in St. Louis at Lockdown he'll shove his Hall of Fame ring down Abyss' throat! Hogan tells Flair to shut up and then says he sees what Flair has up on the stage. Hogan tells Flair not to ever sell him short because they have a full team and Flair will find out who the rest of Team Hogan is when the time is right. Flair says this isn't a political contest, it's a popularity contest and everybody wants to be the "Nature Boy". Flair says if Hogan has a problem Team Flair will walk down there and see what Hogan's team is all about. Flair then says "don't' say it, play it!" Team Flair walks down to the ring (and Flair rolls) but Jeff Jarrett tells them to hold on. Jarrett asks Sting to step into the ring without his bat and answer just one question. Sting agrees and hands his bat to Wolfe and says something to him before stepping into the ring. Jarrett says he has known Sting for over 20 years and they have a storied history together in TNA so he just has one question to ask him, "why now has the dark side comeo out of you?" Jarrett tries to hand Sting the microphone but he refuses it. Jarrett says he might not deserve an answer but the fans do. Sting just laughs at Jarrett which causes him to slap the hell out of Sting! Sting kicks Jarrett and hits the Stinger Death Drop! Sting avoids Hogan and Abyss' attempted attack and slides out to the floor. Flair tells his team to 'go get em' and Wolfe jumps into the ring with the bat and nails Abyss with it! Beer Money then come into the ring and they along with Wolfe surround Hogan when Jeff Hardy's music hits! Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam sneak down through the crowd! They come into the ring and the fight is on! RVD and Hardy fight off Beer Money and then Abyss nails Wolfe with a Big Boot! Team Hogan has been revealed and Rob Van Dam vs. James Storm is next!
