In conjunction with that, Final Resolution is shaping up to go down in TNA history as one of the greatest PPVs ofall time. Before I run down the entire cerd, let me first announce @ match that was signed during this past week. Robert Roode has asked and been granted a mixed tag team match at Final Resolution where he and Ms. Brooks will team up against Booker T and his lovely wife Sharmell. Final Resolution will be headlined by the heavyweight title match with Kurt Angle and Christian Cage. From there...” SAMOA JOE M&E (BABYFACE) © Joe: “Comette, I want you to explain to me how you can announce a TNA PPV card without Samoa Joe's ‘ame on it. Samoa Joe has done nothing but give everything he has to this company for the past three years. You talk about a glass ceiling in TNA, Comette? Where’s the glass ceiling? Huh? Where is it? Why do T keep banging my head against nothing but concrete pillars. Where’s my title shot? Iuh? Where? Where is my contract that’s worth more than the paper it’s written on? Everyone around here gets an opportunity except Samoa Joe. Hell, you even gave that goof Scott Hall a title shot with his buddy Kevin Nash at Final Resolution, simply because he signed his name on the contract. I'm glad that he shoved it straight up your ass at Turning Point. You got exactly what you deserved.” KEVIN NASH M&E- (BABYFACE) * Nash to the ring * Nash: “You know what, Joe? I stood by one time when you buried my friend Scott Hall in front of my face at Turning Point, but I won’t do it again. You're running down a guy that has had more problems in his life than you and I combined. You have no idea why he didn’t show up at Tuning Point, and you have no right to open up your mouth about it. I think you need to recognize your place in this business. I think you need to recognize what I have done and what you haven't done. I think you need to recognize what I'm trying to do for you” * Joc: “Kevin, the only thing I recognize is that it's my time, whether you like it or not. So maybe it’s time for the Kevin Nash’s and the Scott Hall’s of the world to move aside.” Kevin: “No problem, Joe. Why don’t you move me aside?” Kevin steps up in Joe’s faceLl 1.12 BI Comette: “You know what? I’m sick and tired of everybody telling me what they want. I’m sick and tired of everybody telling me the way things are going to be. Starting tonight, it’s not going to be about what's best for the individual, it’s going to be what's best for TNA, and the way I see it, we have a tag team title match at Final Resolution and Kevin Nash is short of a partner. Joe, you want your shot at gold here in TNA? Well. consider it yours, because at Final Resolution, AJ & Tomko will defend their tag team title belts and it will be against Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe. TNA management has spoken, now hit the music.” Show theme music on out (1:15/21:10:05) PRETAPE - CRYSTAL LOUTHAN W/ ROBERT ROODE & MS. BROOKS Producer: Vince Russo Crystal: “Robert Roode, Jim Cornette just announced the mixed tag that you demanded at Final Resolution. It’s going to be you and Ms. Brooks against Booker T & Sharmell.” Roode: “That’s exactly right, Crystal. If Sharmell wants to step in that ring and get in my face, then let's make it official and let her step in that ring, because Booker, let me make one thing perfectly clear, Robert Roode has no problem smacking the taste out of a woman’s mouth.” Ms. Brooks: “Well that takes a real big man to hit a woman. I despise you. I despise everything about you.” Roode: “You despise me? I love the fact that I get under your skin that way. Let’s make one thing clear...you WILL be my partner at Final Resolution and you will do exactly what I say.” Ms. Brooks: “I don’t have a problem with Booker T or Sharmell.” Roode: “My problems are your problems, end if my problems aren’t your problems, then Robert Roode will be your problem. You will do as I ‘say or you will be back in that strip club working for dollars.” Roode walks off (10721:10:15) VR ~ BUMPER - UP NEXT THE TAG TEAM GAUNTLET (2:15/21:12:30) COMMERCIAL BREAKSEGMENT 2 2.1 (3021:13:00) VIR-TNA SPOT 2.2 (145/21:14:45) PRETAPE - CRYSTAL LOUTHAN W/ TEAM 3D, VKM & ROXXI LAVEAUX Producer: Vince Russo Brother Ray is eyeballing Crystal up and down.
