June 2nd, 2011
This week's Impact Wrestling opens up with Eric Bischoff arriving at the Impact Zone and being served some papers by a man in a suit. He tells Bischoff that he's been served and Bischoff says by the Network and asks why they didn't just call him.
We cut to the back where ODB is beating up Velvet Sky! Velvet comes back as ODB turns around. Velvet Spears ODB through the set. ODB and Velvet continue to brawl down a hallway where ODB chokes Velvet on the ground. ODB drags Velvet out into the arena and tosses her into a table. She slams Velvet onto the table and continues beating on her and slamming her into a wall and choking her. Finally Velvet is able to duck out of the way when ODB charged at her. Velvet slams ODB into a table and then the same wall ODB was slamming Velvet into. ODB comes back and slams Velvet hard into a side of one of the bleachers. ODB picks Velvet up and slams her into a bleacher and finally security runs out to separate them. ODB kicks the security guard but turns around into a bunch of chops and kicks from Velvet. Velvet tries to toss ODB into the guardrail but ODB turns it around and slams Velvet into it and then starts spanking her. She then slams Velvet into the ring apron repeatedly. ODB climbs in and starts choking Velvet with her own shirt. She holds Velvet down and counts three, slamming her hands on the mat and screams. She spits on Velvet and finally leaves Velvet laid out in the ring. Ms. Tessmacher runs down and helps Velvet up.
Sting's music interrupts Tenay & Taz as they were hyping up the show for tonight, but instead of the Champ it's Mr. Anderson dressed as old school Sting again. Anderson said tonight he's taking this whole thing with Sting to a whole new level. He says tonight he will face one of Sting's most storied competitors, one of his most famous rivals. He says we need to stay tuned.
In the back Bischoff is on the phone with someone complaining about the papers when Brian Kendrick walks up and thanks Bischoff for giving him the shot at Abyss, but he wants to redeem himself and get another shot at Abyss. Bischoff asks what's wrong with the X-Division guys and asks if they're glutens for punishment. He calls Kendrick dumb as a rock and says Kaz is getting his rematch with Abyss at Slammiversary which complicates things for him. He instead suggests Kaz and Kendrick go out there and beat the hell out of each other tonight and Abyss will feast off of whatever is left.
During the break Bischoff is complaining to Hogan on the phone about the papers and he asks Hogan that he thought Hogan had everything under control. Bischoff says it's not a TNA thing it's a Spike TV thing and he says this isn't good.
Bischoff's music hits and he walks down to the ring. Bischoff says he doesn't have a lot of time so he wants to get down to business and he calls Beer Money down to the ring. Bischoff says Beer Money knows that they have 30 days to defend the belts and they're not going to be able to because Roode won't be cleared in time. He says they're booked for Slammiversary to defend the belts against British Invasion but there is no one to defend the belts so he has no choice but then to strip them of the belts. Bischoff tells Beer Money to just hand the belts over. Roode says it was Bischoff's goons that took him out in the first place and now he wants to strip them of the belts. Roode says that isn't going to happen and he'll be at Slammiverasry hurt or not and if he wants those belts it will be over his dead body. The Motor City Machine Guns music hits and Alex Shelley walks out.
Shelley asks Roode for the mic and he hands it over. Shelley says he heard all of what Roode just said and he announces that Chris Sabin tore both his ACL & MCL and we won't be seeing Sabin for the rest of the year. Shelley says that made him think about the Guns past accomplishments and it made him go back to a year ago when there were two teams that went on a 5-Match tear and asks Beer Money if they remember that. Shelley says one of the things he learned from those matches is respect and he respects Beer Money. Bischoff asks Shelley what the hell he wants and Shelley says he has an offer for Beer Money. Shelley says he heard Bischoff talk about rules and they can get around that. He suggests at Slammiversary Roode allow Shelley just ONCE to defend the belts with Storm for them. Bischoff asks Shelley if he thinks he can just come out and insert himself in a Championship bout. Shelley says Bischoff said it himself, that Roode can't go and he can't think of a better replacement than himself. Bischoff asks who told Shelley who told him could do that and Shelley says the Network did! Shelley asks Beer Money what they think about Gun Money one time! Roode shakes Shelley's hand and Shelley takes a swig of Storm's beer! Bischoff congratulates Shelley and says that takes one set of big balls to do what he just did, but he's also a man that just made Bischoff's crap list.

He says Foley built a career out of doing nothing but chasing people around with a sock on his hand and how the hell he was able to convince Spike that Foley of all people had any grasp on the wrestling BUSINESS is a testimony that Foley isn't good at anything but talking. Bischoff says he has achieved more in the worst week of his career than Foley ever has in his.
Hogan grabs the mic and asks Bischoff if he forgot who the hell he is. Hogan says Bischoff is his partner and his brother. He says they have made history together and that piece of paper puts no fear in him at all. He opens up the paper and reads it and it says effective immediately upon receipt of this notification they have exercised their right to terminate said position, MICK FOLEY! Hogan shows Bischoff the papers and laughs about Foley. Bischoff says this is the happiest day of his life.
