Impact 7/5

*TNA Tag Team champions Team 3D defeated AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels and LAX after a 3D on Daniels.

*Jim Cornette joined Don West and Mike Tenay at the announcer's table.

*Christian Cage and Tomko came out. Cage was carrying his director's megaphone again. He said it's a symbol for a director and discusses the things he's produced in TNA - ratings, superstars he's made in the company. He asks Cornette who is Chris Harris to be wrestling Cage at Victory Road. He said Cage will be a superstar just for wrestling him at Victory Road. Cage says he wants back in the main event picture. Cornette gets a mic and said that Harris was going to shatter TNA's glass ceiling, using Cage's head as a battering ram. Cornette asks Cage if he made TNA or was it TNA that made Christian Cage. Cornette says Abyss is still looking to get his hands on Cage. Cage says that he's right here. Abyss' music begins to play so Cage heads to the back.

*Gail Kim pinned Jackie Moore to win a three-way also featuring Ms. Brooks. After the match, they both attacked Kim. Eric Young hit the ring to make the save. Jackie jumped on Eric's back and he flipped her over. Brooks did the same, with the same results. Robert Roode jumped Eric.

*TNA champion Kurt Angle came to the ring with both the TNA and IWGP title belts. He said that he just got back from Japan, winning another World title after making Brock Lesnar tap. He discusses an eight man tag match next week on Impact, saying it's going to be the biggest night in TNA history. Kurt Angle's Champion of Champions night. He said it's better to be remembered when you are still alive then when you are dead. He said that he was the one that put TNA on the map and that they've had their highest ratings in the last few weeks. He says that everyone in the locker room wants to be just like Kurt Angle. Team 3D comes out. Ray mocks Angle saying, "Blah blah blah blah" as they come to the ring. He said that he doesn't know where to start with Angle, but he's not the know all and end all within TNA. Ray says that it's about all the wrestlers in TNA, not just Kurt Angle. Angle tries to hit Ray but Devon nails Angle. He goes for a table but Samoa Joe hits the ring. He brawls with 3D. Angle grabs Joe from behind and hits an Olympic Slam through a table. They may have to sweeten the crowd noise for this segment as the live crowd was chanting for LAX and turning on 3D.

abyss can talk?

[LG]

thats exactly what i was thinking!

[J-man]

whoa, that's creepy lol, i didn't know that

[Will]

Why wouldn't abyss be able to talk?

[carletonsean]

abyss can talk?

Maybe he is just a guy who likes to let his fists do the talking.

I'll have to check out Impact tomorrow night.

[Punisher]

its like Kane who never talked now he is going to. Wanna copy WWE anymore there.

[DEMON]

actually Kane would talk with the help of one of those electronic voice amplifiers that smokers use,and now byt he grace of god he hasn't had to use it for the longest time now.

Abyss was never given the chance to talk before because he always had Jim Mitchell for that.
Maybe TNA think that its time Abyss steps up and starts using the mic,of course they could be making a very drastic move on his behalf if he can't pull off any decent promos.Of course than they can resort to having him team with Sting,and let Sting do all the talking.
