TNA Impact Results
March 24th, 2011
Mr. Anderson makes his way out to the ring as the camera cuts to the arena. There's a big whiteboard in the ring as well, and a guy accompanies Anderson to the ring. Mr. Anderson introduces us to Professor Shubert all the way from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Anderson says back when he was in school and was studying to become a professional, Mr. Shubert was becoming the finest mathematician in the state of Wisconsin. Anderson says that when he was teaching the students about integers he was thinking about Mary Beth Kapowski that sit right next to him. Anderson says that was then and this is now. He says there's two boneheads in the back that's in charge of TNA, Hogan & Bischoff. Anderson says their mathematics aren't up to par so he brought Mr. Shubert out to verify that Anderson's math is in fact correct. He says last week he had a match with RVD and both of their shoulders were pinned on the mat. Anderson illustrates it on the board and he says that's equal right and then he adds that to the fact that he never received his rematch for losing the title. Anderson says he deserves his rematch and Mr. Shubert says he agrees. Anderson says he's free to go now but then stops him. Anderson shakes Shubert's hand and then he says he wants to leave his teacher with something to remember him by. Anderson asks Mr. Shubert if he knows why he would do such a thing then nails Mr. Shubert with the Mic Check and drops the whiteboard on top of him!
Hulk Hogan's music hits and he and Eric Bischoff make their way out to the ring. Bischoff says he's a genius and as smart as he is for the life of him he can't figure out what Hogan saw in Anderson. Bischoff says Anderson isn't funny and he can't make a point without attacking someone. Bischoff asks how the network will like this and suggests that every kid in North America will be trying to drop their teachers on their heads. Bischoff says Anderson is a bad example for the wrestlers and a bad example for the fans. Hogan says unlike Bischoff he digs Anderson's shenanigans tonight. Hogan says they have one problem and that's the fact that Anderson has been running amuck in TNA and breaking his rules. Hogan says he doesn't like it one bit and he tried to help Anderson out last week by making him an offer of doing things the "Immortal way," but Anderson told him he had to think about it. Hogan says he has something for Anderson to think about now and that's there will be no rematch for Anderson until he earns it. Hogan says Anderson has a rematch contract signed by Dixie Carter that doesn't mean a thing now. Hogan says he can take that piece of paper and wipe his butt with it. Hogan says tonight it's Anderson vs. RVD and if he beats RVD then he will get his shot. Anderson isn't happy about it and he says RVD isn't even in his league.
RVD makes his way out to the ring and tells Anderson not to act surprised and he says in Pro Wrestling when you talk smack about someone, their music plays, they come out, and you have to answer to the smack you were talking. RVD says as much as he'd like to bust Anderson in the mouth, he's not happy about having to face Anderson too to get a shot at the belt. RVD says if Anderson has something to say to him he needs to say it now, but Anderson says he'll tell him in the ring since Hogan is in the ring with him. Hogan says if Anderson can't beat RVD tonight he'll be going back to his professor again. RVD says he likes it and he says that he was sitting home burned out from politics in wrestling and everyone from TNA's offices called him, but when Hulk Hogan called him he took it very seriously because of Hogan's legend. RVD asks when Hogan changed his mind and asks if Hogan always planned to bring RVD in and screw him. RVD says Hogan told him he could come into TNA and be himself and if that's the case than this is RVDTV. He tells Hogan to stop holding him back and let him be himself and then Sting's music hits!
The TNA World Heavyweight Champion makes his way out onto the stage. Sting says this is great and Hogan & Bischoff talk like their in complete control here and like they are cool with the network, but the funny thing is that he got a call from Spike and they said that tonight in the #1 Contenders Match RVD vs. Anderson they want Sting to be the Special Enforcer! Sting says they said if anything out of the order happens he's in control. Hogan and Bischoff aren't happy.

Tara climbs to the top rope and Mickie crotches her on the top by running into the ropes. Mickie then nails Tara with an uppercut and climbs upt op with Tara and sets up for something but Tara takes Mickie's legs out from under her. Mickie falls down. Tara nails Mickie with forearms which causes Mickie to fall back and hang upside down as Tara kept her legs hooked on the top rope. Tara locks Mickie in a Hanging Boston Crab! Tara then slams Mickie to the mat off the top with a Front Slam and then she rolls forward while still hooking Mickie's legs, and then she rolls backwards into a Boston Crab again! Mickie fights the hold and finally gets to the ropes. Tara waits for Mickie to get to her feet and then she kicks Mickie and sets up for the Widows Peak, but Mickie counters into the Mickie-DT for the 1...2...3!

In the back Anderson approaches Sting and he says that he knows Sting doesn't like him and he doesn't care, but Sting stole his title shot. Sting says he didn't steal anything and the Network awarded him the title shot. Anderson asks if this is a beauty pageant and he wants to know who called Sting. Anderson says that same person must've been the person that made Sting the Special Enforcer tonight and he wants to know who it is. Sting says that there is "no name behind the Network...it's just THE NETWORK" and then he walks away.

Angle says Karen is a crucial weapon for Jeff and he needed to find a way to get Jeff in the ring alone, which is the Steel Cage. He says Lockdown will be the end of the Angle-Jarrett feud because of what he will do to Jeff. He says no one is meaner, tougher, or badder than him and he's going to step it up a notch.
In the back Hogan invites RVD into his office. Hogan says RVD is right, he's not the same Hulk Hogan that brought RVD back into TNA. He says he's been through a lot over the past few years but he says RVD is his guy and he knows that he misguided him in the past. RVD says that Bischoff sees something in Anderson but he doesn't. Hogan says if he had it his way RVD would already have the shot. He says he'll be pulling for RVD tonight and he's in his corner. RVD laughs and seems to possibly be believing Hogan and as he walks away Hogan says good luck. When RVD leaves the room Hogan starts laughing and says what an idiot.
Ric Flair leads Matt Hardy and Bully Ray out to the ring. Flair says usually he likes to come out to the ring and steal the show and do all the talking, but tonight he is going to pass the microphone off to two of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time. Hardy says it's a tragedy to see four guys like Fortune go down the same road that he and Bully Ray went down. He says it's a road to destruction. Hardy says 12 years ago he and Ray helped changed the business and all the money and the success was imaginary because the same people that were shaking their hands and telling him how they great they were they were stabbing them in the back with the other hand. Hardy says that now they are the guys brandishing the knives but instead of stabbing them in the back, they'll stab them right in front of them. He says they'll make sure Fortune doesn't achieve any of their hopes and aspirations. Ray says he couldn't have said it better himself but what he would really like to know is if AJ is here...he says of course he isn't because last week he sent AJ a message. Ray calls him a punk and he says he did it because he can. Ray says he's been walking around with a chip on his shoulders for years and nobody has knocked it off yet because everyone is afraid of him and intimidated by him. He says back in Hell's Kitchen his Uncle Vito used to tell him that if you wanted something from someone you made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Here is the offer, Ray suggests the four of us against Fortune at Lockdown. Fortune's music hits and Fortune minus AJ make their way to the ring.
