Next is The Scorpion Sitdown. It is supposed to be a sitdown with Sting but it's Mr. Anderson dressed up like the old school surfer Sting. Anderson welcomes us to the very first ever Scorpion Sitdown and he says it's a sitdown because its obvious he can no longer wrestle so he will do what every wrestler does in his twilight, have an interview segment. He welcomes someone from Sting's past...DISCO INFERNO!
Anderson says Disco saw everything, the crappy Vanilla Ice flattop, the clown makeup, the Liberache outfits, and everything from Sting. Disco says he didn't know why Anderson wanted him here and why he flew him out all the way from Vegas but he gets it now. He says Anderson wants to know the truth about Sting and he'll tell him. Disco starts to tell him but Anderson does Sting's howl and then Disco starts again and Anderson screams IT'S SHOWTIME and howls again. Disco says Anderson can keep cutting him out but he's going to listen to what he has to say whether he likes it or not. Disco says everything Sting did, he always had respect from everyone and whether Anderson likes it or not, Anderson knows he painted his face like every other kid as a Sting fan growing up. Disco says that's why they call him an icon. Anderson says he's had enough and he says this his show and Disco follows. Anderson says he didn't fly Disco out to sing Sting's praises, he flew him out to bury Sting. He says that's what this was designed for. He asks if Disco has anything to add to bury Sting.
Disco says he isn't going to bury Sting but he would like to tell Anderson one thing. Anderson asks Disco what he just said and Disco says he didn't stutter and then stands up and calls Anderson a dick again while he does the disco dance and drops Anderson's mic down from the rafters. Anderson grabs the mic and laughs and then nails Disco with it! Anderson continues to beat on Disco with the mic and he's busted open. Anderson beats the heck out of Disco and then Sting's music hits! Sting walks down and jumps into the ring but Anderson bails out and escapes through the crowd as Sting checks on Disco.
Back from commercials Eric Young is searching for Gunner and walks into the bathroom looking for him. Young finds him and Gunner is about to beat the heck out of him, but Young asks for 5 minutes to explain himself. Gunner gives himself one. Young says this whole thing is a big misunderstanding. He says he understands that he didn't win the Battle Royal and he just mistakenly took Gunner's belt after it. Young says he came up with an idea to make Gunner 2nd in command in Immortal. Young talks about Hogan and Nash in '99, the finger poke of doom. He suggests laying down for Gunner in the ring and he'll give Gunner his belt back and Gunner will give him his belt back. He says he'll earn extra points from Hogan for beating him. Gunner says either Young will lay down or he will put Young down. As Young walks away Gunner says he's an idiot.
Velvet Sky walks down to the ring. Velvet says she and ODB have some unfinished business to attend to and that sneak attack doesn't work for her. She wants ODB to walk out there and tell Velvet what her problem is.
ODB walks down and gets into the ring. Velvet asks her what her problem is and ODB says about a year ago she got a phone call from management saying she was no longer needed in TNA. ODB says she tried to figure out if it was because she had no talent or her attitude or because she had no ability, but she said it was none of the above but it was Velvet that got her fired. Velvet asks how that is and she doesn't have anything against anyone and everyone blames everything on her. She says that she's sick of it and has earned her spot in TNA and she proved herself. She says everything she's accomplished she's worked for. ODB calls Velvet plastic. ODB asks Velvet is she's about to cry and she'll give her something to cry about. She shoves Velvet down and starts beating Velvet. ODB chokes Velvet and starts screaming at Velvet until security runs out and pulls ODB off.
In the back Beer Money is in Eric Bischoff's office. He says the doctor doesn't think Roode should wrestle and they have to defend the belts at Slammiversary. Bischoff says if he isn't cleared then they'll get the belts stripped. Storm says Roode will never get cleared for Slammiversary and he has to know by next week. Bischoff mocks Storm being a hillbilly and suggests maybe Storm has some kind of redneck healing he can do. Storm says he can't heal Roode but he can stick his foot up Bischoff's butt. Bischoff says he could do that but he will never work in TNA again if he does. Bischoff says while they contemplate their future and Roode's ability to heal under pressure they can think about that and he tells Beer Money sorry bout your damn luck. Storm slaps papers off of Bischoff's desk and says sorry bout your damn papers as they walk out.
We get clips from Xplosion as Tenay talks about a confrontation that went down with Pope and Devon over Pope messing with Devon's wife.

We cut to the ring where Bischoff is standing in the middle and telling the fans how he loves each and every one of them. He says people may ask him why he's smiling right now, but he has a lot to be happy about. He says last week Hogan laid everything out for the Network last week and they finally understand Mick Foley has no clue about the wrestling business. He welcomes Hulk Hogan down to the ring.
Hulk says Bischoff is exactly right and all it took was a good old fashioned sitdown. He says it was completely unanimous that there is only one man that can sail the ship around TNA and that's Hulk Hogan. Hulk says after picking his brain for hours they realized that his genius for the business whipped out any motives they thought he had. He claims that with Foley sitting right there the Network gave him a standing ovation. He says it's clear sailing from here on out but he walks to talk about Bischoff right now. He says what Bischoff did last week and single handedly wiped the X-Division that had been around for 9 years completely out was genius. Hogan says the X-Division just doesn't matter and Bischoff was the only one that did something about it. Mick Foley walks down to the ring.
Hogan looks surprised that Foley is in the building. Hogan says no one invited Foley out there but Foley says he doesn't need an invitation because he's a network executive. Foley says Hogan may have fooled some people but after Hogan walked out the only thing he succeeded in doing was pissing the network off. Foley says once Hogan left he took Spike on a little trip down memory lane and reminded him how the X-Division was what put TNA on the map and that the X-Division was what made TNA different and what made this company better in his opinion. Foley says they couldn't have a show where wrestling matters without the X-Division so not only will the X-Division remain but it will soar to heights it never had previously. Foley says for the next few weeks he will be scanning the globe for the best X-Division wrestlers in the world and in July he will be putting all those guys together in a little thing they call ULTIMATE X!
Bischoff says he knows Foley spent his entire career bouncing his head off thumbtacks and that somehow makes him an expert on the X-Division, but he has to remind Foley that he has nothing to do with PPV so nice try. Foley says while its true it will be a PPV, the truth is that it's the network that promotes the PPV's so unless they think they can put on a PPV without the help of the network then he'll see them at DESTINATION X! Hogan says since Foley thinks the X-Division is so great and is going to flourish so much then why wait! He suggests Foley do something to really help the X-Division and says he's giving Foley the opportunity to face Abyss for the X-Division Title! Hogan asks if that Hardcore Legend is still alive or if it's dead and gone and hiding behind the network. Brian Kendrick's music interrupts them!
Kendrick, Generation Me, and Amazing Red walk onto the stage. Kendrick says God is talking through me, not to me, time to get moving, towards our...DESTINY. Bischoff suggests Kendrick has been into RVD's stash. Kendrick says his purpose is to eradicate Hogan and Bischoff. Hogan tells Kendrick and his three little pimples to get out of the ring. Kendrick thinks it's funny how they want to put Foley in an X-Division match but asks wouldn't it be even funnier if Kendrick was the brunt of that joke...BROTHER! Hogan tells Kendrick that if he has something to say he better say it before he crucifies him. Kendrick says he wants the match and Hogan mocks Kendrick wanting to fight Abyss. Foley agrees with it. Hogan says this will be even better than him popping that pimple. Hogan says the blood will be on Foley's hands for this one. Foley hypes the X-Division guys up as Hogan & Bischoff laughs at them.
Mickie James vs Winter
Mickie and Winter lockup and Mickie gets Winter in a Hammerlock but Winter elbows her in the face. Winter grabs Mickie by the head and slams her to the mat and gets a nearfall. She then grabs Mickie but Mickie hits her in the stomach and then a series of Forearms. Mickie attempts to whip Winter into the corner but Winter counters into a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex! 1...2...NO Mickie kicks out! Winter puts the boots to Mickie and then she picks Mickie up by the hair and taunts her. Mickie comes back with a Jawbreaker and then a Snapmare Takeover followed by a sliding dropkick! Mickie picks Winter up but Winter shoves her into the corner. Mickie answers with a back elbow and then she lifts herself up into the air and into the Mickiecanrana! Mickie follows with a Running Forearm and then a Flapjack! Mickie gets up to her feet and then she picks Winter up but Winter pokes her in the eyes. Winter then goes for her Swinging Backbreaker, but Mickie blocks it and hits the Mickie-DT! 1...2...3!
Winner: Mickie James

He says its not about weight limits, it's about no limits. As Abyss walks away, Kazarian attacks him from behind. Abyss screams in agony and then Kaz picks up Janice and says you're never going to use her again and walks away.
