NEWS AND NOTES FROM SUNDAY’S ACCLAIMED “SACRIFICE†PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT
Major news items from Sunday’s “Sacrifice†Pay-Per-View
There are several major news items to report from Sunday’s “Sacrifice†Pay-Per-View extravaganza, including the crowning of a new World Heavyweight Champion! Replays are available all week long from Wednesday night at 9pm on Bravo 2 on Virgin TV and on satellite.
KURT ANGLE CROWNED NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
History was made at Sunday’s “Sacrifice†as Kurt Angle claimed the World Heavyweight Title in the three-way bout against former champion Christian Cage and Sting. Cage tried all he could to stir the hatred between Angle and Sting, but in the end, it was Angle getting Sting to tap out to the Ankle Lock just as the icon was scoring the pin on Cage. As a result, Kurt Angle is the new World Heavyweight Champion! Tune in Thursday night on “iMPACT!†on SpikeTV for more news on this huge title change!
- Team 3D retained the World Tag Team Title on Sunday night in the three-way bout against The Latin American Xchange and Scott Steiner & Tomko when 3D got the pin on Tomko. However, there was big news after the match as “The Dog Faced Gremlin†Rick Steiner made his return to join brother Scott in the ring as “Big Poppa Pump†and Tomko were about to fight! Did Scott call his brother Rick in as backup? What will Tomko have to say about all this? Tune in Thursday night on “iMPACT!†to find out!
- X Champion Chris Sabin retained his title on Sunday night over “Black Machismo†Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt. After the bout, a frustrated Sonjay Dutt attacked Kevin Nash and nailed him in the knee with a dropkick before leaving the ring. Later, an enraged Kevin Nash said that Dutt had crossed the line and that he would kick his @#$ this Thursday night on “iMPACT!â€Â.
- In the Texas Death Match, “Wildcat†Chris Harris defeated “Cowboy†James Storm in a bloodbath that saw both Jackie Moore and Gail Kim get involved. Harris got the win after smashing his former partner with the same beer bottle that blinded him months ago!
- “The Samoan Submission Machine†Samoa Joe got the win over “The Phenomenal†AJ Styles after Joe tricked Styles into thinking he was injured. Earlier in the bout, Styles attempted to pull the same stunt, but Joe eventually turned the tables on him.
- In the four-way X Division match, it was Jerry Lynn getting the win against Alex Shelley, Senshi and Tiger Mask when Lynn beat Shelley. After the bout, Chris Sabin hit the ring to help Shelley assault Lynn, which brought out Mr. Backlund to chase off the brash X stars.
- “The Fallen Angel†Christopher Daniels used a baseball bat to get the win over “The War Machine†Rhino, but Rhino exacted his revenge after the bout. Rhino bloodied Daniels and attempted to hit him with a piledriver through two steel chairs, but TNA security stopped him before he could do so.
- On Sunday afternoon during a meet and greet with fans, Damaja and Basham attacked BG and Kip James, injuring BG and forcing him out of the bout. As a result, Kip James went it alone against Christy Hemme’s team. Damaja and Basham were eventually disqualified during the bout, but not before they did their damage to Kip.
TNA is telling it's workers that they are hoping to have a two hour television show come August. This is being told to the wrestlers to boost moral and a vast majority of their contracts are up in October. In order to roll any of them over, they would need to be notified 90 days prior.
