Impact Wrestling Results
June 9th, 2011
Hogan welcomes all the Hulkamaniacs to Impact Wrestling and he says nothing's changed but the names. The Network has decided they don't need a stooge looking over their shoulders, and it's smooth sailing from this point forward. Bischoff says that he was on the phone recently with the Network and they didn't like Foley, but they were impressed with how it's now Impact Wrestling and that wrestling matters, and also that the X Division is important to them, and they promise to continue presenting it the right way. Bischoff calls Ken Anderson and Sting out to the ring, and Hogan says that now that they've rebranded Impact Wrestling, he wants to make one thing perfectly clear to both of them: they're not going to go through what they went through with the Network. He assured the Network that he would run the company in the most professional way possible, and he promised the Network a winner and a loser at Slammiversary with no run-ins or anything else and he meant it. He says that if either of them have anything to say, to speak now or forever hold their peace.
Anderson raises his hand and tells Sting that for the last three weeks, he's come out here mocking and imitating him, and it's because everything that he stands for is a joke. He says he's a fighting champion and is for the people, but at least Anderson admits that he's only in it for himself. He's going to get his hand raised as Slammiversary and he's going to become the TNA World Champion. Sting says he's going to do a whole lot about that, and if Anderson wants to fulfill his destiny, he's got to beat Sting first. Only problem is that he can't and won't lose, because the title is the only thing standing between Hogan and Bischoff making a mockery of the company, and it gives him a chance to make a difference around here. He's going to win there, and one of two things will happen before he goes down: either Hogan and Bischoff keep doing what they've been doing and he stays in their face, or the real Hulk Hogan that the wrestlers and fans idolized comes back out. Everyone bought all kinds of Hulk Hogan merchandise, but he slapped them all in the face, and maybe he should slap Hogan back and return the favor. The true infection, the kind that history says breathes a slow and miserable death, and he means YOU, Eric Bischoff, he wants Hogan to take the scalpel out and cut the cancer away before it's too late, and not to say that he doesn't have a choice because he does.

He's had to deal with that for seven days, and he's not going to lie to Kurt, she's been the support he's needed to get an advantage over Kurt for the last six months. First, he panicked because he's had to wonder what Kurt Angle will do when he gets Jeff Jarrett in the middle of the ring at Slammiversary. But when that panic went away, Jeff kept thinking in his mind back to the first day they met and shook hands because Jeff Jarrett brought Kurt Angle, the founder of TNA, brought Angle into the company because he knew Angle's former employer made a huge mistake in letting him go. Jarrett says he knows in his heart of hearts that Kurt Angle is the best in-ring performer this business has ever produced, and that alone is why he decided to step aside and let Angle be the centerpiece of TNA. The thanks he got was that he got a self serving person who wasn't happy enough having the whole company built around him, and his whole focus was erasing Jeff Jarrett from the history of the company, and he may call it sour grapes but it's the truth. When he realized that's what was going on, Jeff decided he wanted to take everything that meant everything away from Kurt: his wife, his kids, his integrity, and now he's taking away the essence of Kurt Angle: being a professional wrestler, and he decided that he was going to become a better wrestler than Kurt Angle, and he's beaten Angle every single time they've wrestled, and now the only thing he has left is the gold medal and Jarrett won't sleep until he owns it. On the nine year anniversary of the company he founded, when he gets his hand raised, Angle will know once and for all that he's the better man.
Angle takes the mic and asks Jarrett if he's done, because he wants to thank Jeff for doing the one thing nobody else has ever been able to do, and that's take Karen out of his life for good. All he ever wanted was Jeff and himself in the ring, one on one, but Jeff had to get Karen involved, and her injury is on his hands. Angle will let his wrestling do the talking at Slammiversary, and then he'll see how real this really is. Angle drops the microphone and heads to the back as Jarrett stares determinedly at him.
