We start off with a look back at Austin Aries winning the TNA World Title at Destination X, then go to a recap of some early matches in the Bound For Glory Series, as...

We go backstage and the stupid f'ing Mystery Cameraman is chasing after him to ask about the bombshell that was just dropped, and AJ turns around and yells &quot;I DON'T KNOW, OKAY?&quot; before shoving his...

Knockouts Title Match: Brooke Tessmacher vs Gail Kim

Brooke goes right after Gail, beating her down in the corner and laying her out with a clothesline and a dropkick. Brooke with a flying headscissors that sends Gail out to the ring apron, and Brooke grabs her by the hair to try and drag her in. Gail snaps Brooke's arm down on the top rope and rams her shoulder first into the corner. Brooke fires back with some shots from her good arm, but another shot from Gail and Brooke goes down again. Gail with a hammerlock suplex and then rams Brooke's arm down across her knee. Gail with a short armscissors and bridges to put all her weight on the arm, then puts Brooke in Cattle Mutilation! Awesome. Brooke slips out androlls Gail up for 2, but Gail goes right back after the arm and Brooke is in trouble. Brooke reverses a whip into the corner and takes Gail out with a series of clotheslines, selling the bad arm all the way. Brooke with a springing facebuster out of the corner, but her arm is too badly hurt to go right for a cover. Brooke hits the Pepsi Twist, but still can't get over in time to catch Gail for 3. Gail rolls Brooke up with a handful of tights for 2, then sits her on the top rope and they trade blows on top ofr the corner. Gail goes for a top rope Sole Food, but Brooke holds her ground and comes off the top rope with a flying elbow (with the bad arm) for the win.

Winner: Brooke Tessmacher

Okay, normally I don't nitpick about this kind of stuff, but Brooke has set such a high standard for her ringwork that I have to call her on using the bad arm for the finish and not selling it after selling it for the near falls. Otherwise, really good match.

Kurt Angle and Ken Anderson are backstage, and they're...WALKING!

Claire is backstage and the Mystery Cameraman is STILL chasing her around digging for dirt. Claire says we'll hear her proof soon enough, and tells AJ that she hopes he'll do the right thing since he knows more about her than anyone.

Open Fight Night returns next week, and Brutus Magnus says he's looking forward to getting another big win like last week when he detected a weakness and used it to get a win in the Bound For Glory Series. He'll also see James Storm this weekend at the house show.

Bound For Glory Series: Ken Anderson vs Kurt Angle

Kurt easily shoots in on Anderson and picks a single leg, then breaks clean to play mind games with Anderson. Angle takes Anderson down with a side headlock, Anderson makes it to his feet and shoots Angle to the ropes and gets a hiptoss and an armdrag, and now Anderson has Angle down on the mat. Angle regains his feet and backs Anderson to the corner and nails a couple of right hands before stomping Anderson down in the corner and choking him with his boot. Anderson with right hands and a clothesline, followed by a dropkick for 2. Anderson hits the ropes, but comes off right into an overhead release suplex from Angle as we go to commercial.

We're back, and Angle runs Anderson over with a shoulderblock and covers for 2...and we go right back to commercial. (??)

We're back as Anderson elbows his way out of a chinlock and hits a back suplex to catch a break. Anderson with clotheslines and back elbows, followed by a rolling neckbreaker, but Angle blocks the Mic Check and hits the triple rolling German suplexes. Anderson escapes the Hacker Slam and hits a Finlay roll for 2. Angle blocks Mic Check, Anderson blocks the anklelock, Angle hits the Hacker Slam for 2. Angle gets the anklelock, Anderson survives for like thirty seconds and eventually rolls through and catches Angle with the Mic Check...for 2. Anderson goes for another Mic Check, but Angle blocks and hits another Hacker Slam for the win.

Winner: Kurt Angle

Angle seems to have caught a shot to the mouth because he's got blood dripping out of his mouth as the referee raises his hand. That's pretty badass. Angle now moves up to third place behind Samoa Joe and James Storm.

Bobby Roode burts into Hulk Hogans office and has a tense staredown with Sting, then tells Hogan that they need to talk. This seems like a perfect time to take a commercial break!

Hogan tells Sting that he'll see him in the ring in five minutes, then says he knows Bobby Roode wants a rematch, and he'll get it at Hardcore Justice. Roode says he wants Aries sooner than that, and Hogan says that next week is Open Fight Night, and since we don't call out champions on Open Fight Night, Roode should call Aries out. Can't argue with that logic. Hogan says that if Roode beats Aries next week, then it should be easy pickings at Hardcore Justice.

We head out to the ring as Sting comes out to address the fans of TNA and this mysterious gang who kicked his ass a couple weeks ago. Sting says there's a crew out there who likes to play games, but this seems like a good time and place, and he didn't come alone, so he asks Hulk Hogan to come on out and join him in the ring. Hogan's music hits, but he doesn't show. Sting asks him again to come out for the people, and his music hits again but still no Hogan. Sting has an uneasy look on his face as he stares at the entranceway, but Hogan's music hits yet a third time, and goes right back off as we go to the back where a bloody Hogan is laying on the ground as Balls Deep yells at a bunch of gang members to get out of here. Hogan says they got his leg, and Sting starts to make his way up the rampway to help, but he doesn't get close to the entryway before another group of gang members come out of the crowd and beat Sting down like 7-on-1 as we wrap up.
