There are several major news items to report from the live HD "iMPACT!" broadcast on SpikeTV:
- The big announcement to come from the event is that wrestling legend Mick Foley is the new Executive Shareholder of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after striking a deal with TNA founder Jeff Jarrett! What does this mean for the face of TNA Wrestling? How will Foley change TNA in his new role with the promotion? Foley and Jarrett came out to make the announcement, but were interrupted by TNA's newest alliance of The Main Event Mafia. Kurt Angle headbutted Foley, but after taking the punishment, Foley dropped the bomb on his new role and told Angle "You just headbutted your boss!". To end the broadcast, Foley had some more parting shots for Angle, telling him he was free to work for TNA - or not! Foley asked Angle if he wanted to be a part of history with TNA - or BE history!
- The other huge news to come out of the broadcast is the major alliance of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash and Booker T as "The Main Event Mafia"! In the battle of respect, will anyone be able to stop what looks to be the greatest collection of superstars of the past decade? It looks like young lions such as Samoa Joe and AJ Styles are now at a major disadvantage.
- Speaking of Booker T, he unveiled the newest title in TNA Wrestling - "The Legends Championship". According to Booker, he is introducing the gold as his own personal title, as it signifies the fanfare that is his and that he deserves (according to Booker!). After the unveiling, Christian Cage came out to get in Booker's face and challenge him for the title at "Turning Point". However, Booker added a stipulation - if he beats Cage, Cage must join the alliance of Sting, Angle, Nash and Booker! Cage didn't respond - but just smiled and walked off! According to sources, Cage has promised to answer the open challenge next Thursday on "iMPACT!"
- In the main event of the broadcast, the team of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting and Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe and AJ Styles when Nash beat his former friend in Samoa Joe after smashing him with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship! After the bout, The Main Event Mafia continued to punish Joe and Styles and left them bloody in the ring.
- Awesome Kong regained the TNA Knockout Women's Championship when she defeated Taylor Wilde on the live broadcast
- Christy Hemme defeated Velvet Sky of The Beautiful People in Knockouts action
- Sheik Abdul Bashir successfully defended the X Division Championship against number-one contender "Black Machismo" Jay Lethal. Later in the broadcast, Bashir and "The War Machine" Rhino got into an altercation when Rhino told Bashir he didn't care for his anti-US rants. As a result, Bashir attacked Rhino and left him laying after choking him out!
- TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money, Inc. won the Text-Off Gauntlet, last beating Team 3D to claim the bout.
- Kurt Angle once again called out TNA founder Jeff Jarrett and challenged him to a fight, but Jarrett told Angle there was already a locker room full of superstars that wanted to fight him - as behind Angle was Abyss, who attacked the Olympian! Will Angle continue his mission to get Jarrett to agree to a rematch?
