4-17 TNA iMPACT

Super Eric & Kaz def. The Latin American Xchange and TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko in a Triple Threat match for the titles. Eric Young had started the match with Kaz, but got scared and ran to the back, prompting the appearance of Super Eric later on.

A. J. & Tomko were in Jim Cornette's office protesting the title change. They claimed there was outside interference from Super Eric. Cornette asked how Eric Young could committ outside interference in a match he was already in. A. J. said they were two different people. Cornette grew frustrated and asked what he could do to get A. J. & Tomko out of his office. A. J. said to ask Eric Young if he knew Super Eric. If Young insisted they were seperate people, then it's outside interference. Cornette agreed to do this. After A. J. & Tomko left, Cornette told Jeremy Borash that if brains were gasoline, A. J. & Tomko couldn't propel a motorcycle around the arena.

Jim Cornette confronted Eric Young in his lockerroom. Young was working out military strategy on a board and when Cornette accidentally knocked over some of the toy soldiers, Young proclaimed Cornette the winner of Korea. Cornette explained the controversy over the World Tag Team Titles, which Young claimed to know nothing about. He was upset that he missed seeing Super Eric again. Cornette could see this was going nowhere and told Young to come to the ring when he was called. He left Young's dressing room and a commotion erupted from the Knockout's dressing room. Cornette stormed in and all kinds of confusion and chaos was taking place. Cornette called the Knockouts "spoiled brats" and said he'd heard complaints from them. He reminded them of the old days, when wrestlers drove 500 miles, packed 6 to a car, between shows and in the winter the heater wouldn't work. He said changes were coming and sacrifices had to be made.

Jim Cornette, A. J. Styles & Tomko were in the ring. Cornette apologised to the fans for the stupidity they've had to endure. He called Eric Young to the ring. Kaz came out instead, with the TNA World Tag Team Title belts. Cornette said he wasn't angry with Kaz, but Young was getting on his nerves. Cornette gave Young until the count of 3 to get to the ring. He got to 2-and-3/4 and Super Eric arrived. Cornette asked Super Eric to reveal that he was Eric Young. Eric, called Cornette "Commissioner Gordon" and said he didn't know what he was talking about. Cornette said it was a nice rib, bvut it was time to be serious. Eric called Cornette "fast-talking man" and again denied being Eric Young. Kaz got in Eric's face, saying this was about the tag team titles. Super Eric referred to him as "Tanned Handsome Ladies' Man", but again denied being Eric Young, saying he was "Super Eric, son of Maltar, father of Zion". A. J. & Tomko grabbed the belts out of Kaz's hands and began to celebrate their regaining the titles, but Cornette put a quick halt to that. He confirmed that Kaz & Super Eric were stripped of the titles, since Super Eric wouldn't prove that he was Eric Young. But that didn't mean that A. J. & Tomko were champions, because everyone , except "The Son of Zorro there" (a reference to Super Eric) saw them lose the belts in the middle of the ring. At this point, there are no champions. Cornette takes the belts and promised to think for a week before making a decision about what to do.

B. G. James, Booker T & Sting def. Kip James, James Storm (w/ Jacqueline) & Robert Roode (w/ Payton Banks) due to interference from Matt Morgan. Booker was irate at this and got in Morgan's face after the match. Sting tried to calm things down, but Booker got all over him too, saying that he had no right to defend Morgan. Booker then challenged Sting to a match next week.
