Impact Wrestling Results
August 18th, 2011
We cut to the arena where Sting's music hits. Sting comes out to the ring holding a bat in one hand and a chair in the other. He hits the chair with his bat and then starts screaming and he hits the floor. Sting then grabs the microphone and says that proves he definitely has lost his mind, he says that was a re-enactment of what happened to him last week. Sting says the only reason he even remembers it is because he had to watch it back on tape. Sting says he remembers the force he was being hit with was so hard that he couldn't talk. Sting says he also remembers the fire in Hogan's eyes and he remembers how great it was to get his rear end handed to him by the greatest of all time. Sting says the Hulkster still has the eye of the tiger and the 21-inch pythons kicked in. Sting says he wants to see the Hulkster back in the ring like the rest of the people and he says he's dying to see it. He says he wants it so bad that he wants to start a Hogan chant because he wants him in the ring tonight, but Ric Flair's music interrupts him!
Flair walks down to the ring. Flair asks if he just heard Sting call Hogan the greatest of all time, but he stops Sting from answering and says they'll revisit that later on. Flair asks Sting if he realizes when they put the tag on Sting as an icon that makes him a special cat. He then says that people always bug him asking him when he'll wrestle Sting one more time and he always says he has nothing more to prove because he's wrestled him 1,500 times. Flair says he already knows what Sting will say lets do it but Flair doesn't want him to say it yet because he's not finished. Flair wants to finish his thought and he calls Sting an iconic figure in his eyes and he says he's just as much of a man as he was 20 years ago, and for Flair to get where he wants to go again he has to wrestle Sting one more time. Flair says he wants to wrestle Sting right there in the middle of that ring, but as much as he loves Sting he's tired of hearing his name wherever he goes. Flair says if he beats Sting, he goes home and retires for the rest of his life. He says not a phony retirement and if Sting beats Flair which is next to impossible he will serve Hogan to Sting on a silver platter! Sting takes off his jacket and says he needs to ask the fans what they think and of course they cheer for it. Sting accepts it!
Back from commercials Hogan is freaking out in his office when Flair walks in. Flair walks back out of the office and knocks again and comes back in. Hogan asks Flair if he's on goof ball pills and Hogan asks him if he understands what he just did. Flair says he owns Sting and asks what the chances are he's going to get beat by Sting. Flair hugs Hogan and asks where the love is. Hogan says Sting should be dead right now after he beat the heck out of Sting with everything he had last week. Flair says he has 9 lives and he'll take his 10th. Flair says he owns Sting again and he says he has Sting's number. Hogan tells him to shutup and he says that he's done with Sting so Flair cannot lose to Sting. Flair says he will kick Sting's butt and Hogan says Flair needs to round up all the troops and make sure Sting doesn't win. Hogan says he will never wrestle Sting again so he better get this done. Flair hugs him again and then leaves.
