As Impact Wrestling starts, they put a remembrance of Brad Armstrong graphic on the screen. It's there for a several seconds. As that fades away, a video package airs. It shows last week's episode where Bully Ray confronted Devon and he will call his brother out this week while Kurt Angle went on to fight Jeff Hardy. Kurt lost and got attacked by Aces and 8s as he was their target person for the night. The video ends and the camera shows the Impact Zone. Fireworks explode above the ring and then on the stage. We are welcomed and Mr. Parks is in the middle of the ring with a mic.

He asks if he can go and then starts. He is flustered. He says he has been around here long enough to know what this Open Fight Night show is all about. Since day one, Parks said he is not a wrestler. He is an attorney and a pretty good one too. Well, with him being attacked by the Aces and 8s, it doesn't matter if he is a wrestler or an attorney. He is a man. He is going to stick up for his rights. He asked Hogan for a match against the Aces and 8s, but since Parks is not an active wrestler, Hogan did not give him an answer. Parks and his company found a loophole. That is Open Fight Night. He gets ready and challenged any person from the faction. He is ready. Music hits and here comes Aces and 8s from the audience. They pass the security railing and there are four members. One member goes to each side of the ring. They then get in. Parks only said one. As they get in the ring, Kurt Angle's music hits and he runs down. Kurt slides in and he starts attacking the faction. Aces and 8s retaliate and join together against Kurt. Sting's music plays and he comes out. He has his bat in his hand. Aces and 8s run. Sting grabs a mic as he is in the ring. He tells Aces and 8s that there will be someone who gets attacked and have their mask ripped off tonight. Sting's music plays as Aces and 8s leave.

Top 5 Rankings:

2. Samoa Joe - Up from last week
3. Mr. Parks - New from last week
4. Joey Ryan - New from last week
5. Jessie - New from last week

Alex's Assumptions:

First off, I really liked how TNA started the show off by remembering Brad Armstrong. We learned about the death this earlier today and it's a real shame. TNA doing that was very nice and I have to give them props. Other than that, the show itself was very different for me. Some may say that I am a huge TNA fan, but I honestly like what they do other than WWE. I watch TNA every week and even catch a show later in the week if I can't watch it. I was pretty excited for this episode as I even said that last week. Throughout the show, it just didn't click for me. I don't know if it was the crowd (I think they were part of the problem) but just the overall feel. Don't get me wrong, I loved some of the segments. I liked Mr. Parks at the beginning as I didn't expect to hear from him at the top of the hour. Jessie vs. ODB was entertaining. No matter how many people dislike Jessie, that was fun to watch as ODB can certainly fight anyone. BAM! The Daniels/Kaz segment with the spanish commentators didn't do anything for me. It was different but the hype wasn't there. I would blame the crowd. The Gut Check match was alright. I do think Christian York has the best potential out of most of the others we've seen before. He might need some improvement in the ring with moves but his look is top notch. He's one of the more muscular ones from the others. Joey Ryan is clicking for me while I am becoming a fan of Matt Morgan again. He should have never been dropped off television. Someone on Twitter mentioned that the Aces and 8s attack backstage during the show had Sting standing on top of an Aces and 8s member saying he was going to rip off a mask later. Why didn't he do it there? And if he couldn't do it, how could Mr. Parks do so? Parks did surprise me in the past though so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. The member was revealed as Luke Gallows. We pretty much found that out long time ago. I am worried that Aces and 8s will go down hill fast. TNA need to speed it up with more reveals as well as seeing if Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff are involved. I think they may turn later but I like how they are with Kurt now. If anyone can write in the comments when Aces and 8s formed, that would be great. We still have to reveal the members, the main guy of the group and then somehow get rid of the whole faction. I sense this to go on for awhile and that might not be a great thing. Lastly, that shot AJ Styles took against WWE was true and sly. Nice squeeze in. If you want to hear more from me, follow me or interact with me on Twitter right here.
