TNA Impact Wrestling Results 10/17/2013
Impact opens up with highlights from last week and then TNA president Dixie Carter walks out with two members of security carrying a briefcase.
Dixie says that she knows how Michelangelo (he’s the ninja turtle with the orange mask, just saying) felt after he completed the Sistine Chapel because BFG will be her finest work of art. Dixie says that Michelangelo didn’t have to worry about some “redneck” like AJ Styles standing over his shoulder splashing paint all over his masterpiece. She says that, speaking of splattering, Bully Ray splattered AJ last week and he was just too dumb to stay down after Bully beat on him. Dixie asks if AJ wants to leave with even a little piece of integrity left. She says as the leader of TNA it is her job to motivate and her other job is to evaluate and tonight she will do both as “Dixie sucks” and “we want Hogan” chants break out. Dixie says there will be a contract signing for the World Title Match at BFG tonight but asks what if AJ doesn’t make it to the contract signing and what if another talent were to take AJ out and get that title shot instead of AJ along with $50,000. Dixie says that AJ may have walked away from the money that she offered last week but she can promise someone will take her money this week and make sure AJ doesn’t make it to BFG. Dixie opens up the briefcase and shows the cash and then the A&8 music cuts her off.
Bully Ray walks out with Brooke and he says he and Dixie haven’t exactly seen eye to eye over the years and he isn’t exactly on “Team Dixie” but $50,000 buys a lot. Bully says he took AJ last week and this week he can do it for 50 g’s and he doesn’t care who he has to face at BFG.
Magnus walks out and interrupts Bully wearing a “save the tatas” shirt. Magnus says that 12 men over 3 months put their bodies and their careers on the line in the BFG Series for TNA and Dixie to earn a shot at the World Title and just because she doesn’t like AJ she will give anyone that is greedy enough to take him out. Magnus says it’s no wonder that everyone has been saying “Dixie sucks” right now which starts the chant up again. Magnus says $50,000 might be chump change to her but it’s not chump change to him or the “good people in Tulsa, OK.” He says she can understand how serious he is when he tells her that he’s so sick and tired of her and Bully talking every week that he’ll fight Bully for free tonight.
Bully asks Magnus if he knows who he is and people might say that Magnus is the future of wrestling but Bully says Magnus is a fraud and just a “big pretty boy.” He says he doesn’t have a tough bone in his body and he’s a loser and probably the biggest disappointment that he’s ever seen that he might as well be from Oklahoma. Magnus decks Bully and Bully retreats out to the floor! Bully screams that if Magnus wants a match against him then he’s got it!
Kurt Angle is shown arriving in the back.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
In the back Bully Ray holds a hammer as he talks to A&8. He says that last week felt good how they destroyed AJ Styles and it felt like old times. He says he told them that he would give them the spotlight and the glory and they took it. Bischoff and Knux don’t look happy as he talks. Bully says Knux has that opportunity tonight to do what he can tonight and take out one of the tag champs in his match. He says that he’s got both their backs just the way he knows they have his back at BFG. They fist bump and say they’re going to get the $50,000 bounty tonight.

AJ Styles comes down to the ring and he says that Dixie reeks of desperation tonight. He says that Dixie wants to put the bounty on his head along with giving that person a shot at the World Title in his place. AJ says he’s flattered because Dixie KNOWS he will win at BFG and she’s scared to death of that. AJ says when he wins that World Title at BFG he is going to make her pay. AJ says he’s not going to run or hide tonight so anybody that wants to cash in on that bounty tonight they can come and try to get paid right now.

Joe says Sabin doesn’t have his priorities straight because he has to deal with him tonight and IF he survives that maybe he can pursue the bounty but he is a VERY big “if.” Sabin looks like he’s constipated as he backs away from Joe before he gets murdered.

Tenay and Taz run down the card for BFG. No new matches announced.
Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and says it feels great to be back. He says Bobby Roode is one of the most talented wrestlers he’s ever seen and he reminds Angle of himself, but when he tries to rain on his parade in being inducted into the Hall of Fame he made things personal. Angle says its one thing to think you’re “that good” but when you mess with his legacy you dig your own grave. Angle says Roode is one of the best today but he will NEVER be Kurt Angle.
Bobby Roode interrupts Angle and he says that Kurt is right, he’s no Kurt Angle. Roode says he’s not Kurt but he’s okay with that because he doesn’t want to be Kurt Angle. Roode says two years ago or five years ago yeah he wanted to be just like Kurt Angle because he was the be all and end all of pro wrestling. Roode says Angle is looking at the guy that is the be all and end all of pro wrestling NOW, Roode. Roode says that Angle is the one that ruined Roode’s night last week and Angle knows damn well that Roode is more worthy of the Hall of Fame than Angle is. Roode asks Kurt what he’s done lately and the last thing that he can even think of is Angle beating Roode two years ago at BFG. Roode says Kurt did him a favor that night because he woke him up and made him see the light and soon after the “IT Factor” of wrestling was born and he became the longest reigning World Champion in TNA history. Roode says at BFG he’s not going to be Kurt Angle, he’s going to be Bobby Roode because this Sunday he is going to beat Kurt Angle.
Angle asks Roode how he can beat him when he’ll be tapping out. Roode says that’s where Angle is wrong because he won’t tap and then he punches Angle!

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Dixie Carter is in the ring with Jeremy Borash and he introduces AJ and Bully for the contract signing. Bully sings the contract and then says he didn’t waste any time signing the contract and he’ll make it real simple for the redneck. He says that AJ can’t beat him and he doesn’t have the brains or the passion or the thunder in his fists to beat him. Bully says he’s going to give AJ a wrestling history lesson. He says in 1985 Ric Flair destroyed Dusty Rhodes and then a month later Dusty Rhodes returned and told the world how Ric Flair had put him on hard times and how Flair had put wrestling on hard times. Ray fast forwards 30 years later and he says that for the last year and a half he has put the wrestling world on hard times and he started off with Jeff Hardy inside a Steel Cage and became the World Champion, then he defeated Sting at Slammiversary making sure he could never have another shot at the World Title, then ran Chris Sabin back into the X-Division, and then he ran Hulk Hogan out of TNA. Ray says he can see the confusion in AJ’s eyes and he says in 3 days at BFG he will put AJ on hard times when he defeats him. Ray says he will put AJ’s fans on hard times but most of all he will send AJ home with no contract, no home, and no future because when he gets back to the trailer park he wouldn’t be shocked if his family wasn’t even waiting on him when he got home. Ray says, “I’m the Darth Vader of the wrestling business… and you ain’t no freakin’ Luke Skywalker.”
AJ says he can appreciate a history lesson but he needs to remind Ray that he is no Ric Flair and AJ is no Dusty Rhodes. AJ says that was in the past and the fact that Ray thinks he can compare himself to someone like Flair says exactly who he is. AJ says Bully is nothing more than a “big dumb bitch” which causes Bully to look shocked that AJ said that. AJ says Bully has no idea who he’s getting in the ring with because he has everything to lose and everything to win. AJ says he’s the most dangerous, most intense, and most desperate man Bully will ever get in the ring with and he will beat him at BFG and he will make Dixie pay when he’s the next World Champion. AJ signs the contract and then Bully stops Dixie from taking the contract. Bully says he isn’t going to put his title on the line because he’s going to cash in on the bounty and then shoves the podium into AJ! Ray swings the chain at AJ but he ducks and then snatches the briefcase from security and nails Bully with it! AJ throws the money at Dixie which causes her to freak out as AJ stares Bully down.
