Pre-Show

Jeremy Borash and Christy Hemme hosted the pre-show live from Orlando, Florida. Alex Shelley interrupted them at one point, and said he had some "disparaging news". He informed us that Kevin Nash was injured while working on a "840-degree splash" and couldn't wrestle tonight. Shelley said that he would face Chris Sabin in the X-Division Number One Contender's Match tonight.

Ron Killings vs. A-1

The history between the two men was recapped as they made their entrances. Killings and A-1 exchanged leg kicks at the start, then broke into a dance number. Seriously. The dancing ended with Killings punching A-1 and hitting a headscissors before clotheslining A-1 over the top rope and to the floor. Killings teased a dive, then hit a baseball slide kick. Killings tossed A-1 back into the ring, but A-1 took over by catching a leapfrog attempt and dropping Killings throat first across the top rope. A-1 hit a neckbreaker for a two count. Killings came back with a flying forearm and a faceplant. Killings hit a gourdbuster for a two count, but ran into an A-1 elbow. A-1 got a two count with his feet on the ropes.

Winner: Ron Killings.

Jimmy Jacobs tagged in and hit a top rope flying headbutt on Riley. Diablo and Jacobs worked over Riley, but Riley came back with a powerslam on Jacobs and made the hot tag to Dutt. Dutt hit Diablo with a springboard dropkick and a spinebuster for two when Jacobs broke up the cover.

TNA Hard Justice PPV - 13th Aug 2006
Location: Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Mike Tenay & Don West

A video package airs highlighting the concept of "good and bad" showing various TNA stars. The main focus is about Sting's shot at the NWA World Title tonight against Jeff Jarrett.

A graphic opening hits welcoming us to Hard Justice. We then go live to Orlando, FL at the Impact Zone at Universal Studios to see a shot of the crowd. A series of pyro goes off above the ring and in the entrance area.

Johnny Devine's music hits to kick off the first match of the night.


Johnny Devine vs Eric Young

They showed a clip of how Jim Cornette added this match last week, and told Young that he better not lose. Young entered from outside the building, leading a group of fans around ringside that were chanting "Don't Fire Eric". Young had his "Don't Fire Eric"shirt on and got a good pop. Devine got on the mic and wondered why Young was sucking up to the fans. Devine said Young always chokes, because he can't handle pressure. Devine said Cornette will fire Young tonight because Young won't win.

Devine poked Young in the eyes to start the match, but Young slid under his legs and poked him right back. Young tried to hug Devine and shake hands, but Devin slapped him and pounded him down in a corner. Devine hit a sitdown splash in the corner on Young for a two count. Devine applied a chinlock, and the fans chanted for Eric, who came back with a crucifix for a two count. Devine decked Young with a right hand, snap mared him and delivered a series of kneedrops to the head. Devine slapped Young, but Young came back with a slap of his own, only to be caught by a springboard DDT on Young.

Suddenly, the whole ring filled with smoke. It turns out, some pyro apparently caused a fire above the ring and there were two fire extinguishers being used to put it out up on the catwalks. The place was filled with the white smoke from the extinguishers. It was like watching wrestling in a fog.

Devine hit a suplex, and the fans chanted "You can't see us". At least they were good sports about it. Young came back with a powerbomb and went to the top rope. Devine tried to meet him up there, but Young shoved him back to the mat and hit a top rope elbow for a two count. Devine swept Young's legs out and tried to use the ropes for a two count. Young hit a sunset flip from the apron for a two count, then hit a neckbreaker variation for the win at the six minute mark.

Winner: Eric Young

Aftermath:
Earl Hebner, looking disheveled, jumped over the guardrails and attacked referee Slick Johnson. Security pulled him off, with Hebner screaming that he had cost him his job. Larry Zbyszko came out to calm Hebner, and Earl screamed "I'm not taking the fall alone. If I go down, you go down, and so does Jeff!". Zbyszko rushed Hebner off, as Mike Tenay & Don West discussed the card for the rest of the show.


Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, Sting and Christian's arrivals at the building from earlier today was shown.

A video package on the four-way tag team match was shown.

Back live, they were still cleaning up from the fire extinguisher residue, and they replaced the ring mat. Don West & Mike Tenay gave credit to the fans for not letting the conditions dampen their enthusiasm or energy. West & Tenay then stretched for a while, discussing the tag match, then they went to a series of video packages on Sting.

On the PPV broadcast, they temporarily put up a "Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By" graphic, followed by more video packages.

Back live, we were outside with Mike Tenay & Jeremy Borash standing next to a fire truck. They explained that the building had been evacuated by the Fire Department, and that once they were allowed to return to the ring, the show would continue. They showed footage of the fire in the rafters, and the fire extinguishers putting it out. Don West joined them, and announced that the fans were being allowed back into the building. We saw a lot of shots of firefighters, as West and Tenay stretched for time.

Tenay and West put over how well the fans behaved throughout all the problems. They showed a shot of the now-empty arena, and mentioned how fans were being allowed back in now. West pointed out that while some changes in the card would take place, he stressed that the title bouts and the Falls Count Anywhere match will take place tonight.

Eric Young came up to West and Tenay and said that Jim Cornette needed to know that the fire wasn't his fault. Young left, then Monty Brown showed up and cut a promo about "blazing" everyone tonight. Brown ripped on Samoa Joe and Rhino. Brown just kept stretching and stretching, with Tenay throwing in comments and questions to keep the promo going. They showed footage of fans filing back into the building.

Shane Douglas and the Naturals showed up with Tenay & West, and said that adversity and opposition like this is what makes champions. Douglas told the Naturals that tonight they had the chance to "rise up" to the challenge before them. The Naturals said they were ready.

They went backstage, where Jeremy Borash interviewed Alex Shelley. Shelley had a "Kev" armband, and said that Kevin Nash would be risking paralysis if he wrestled tonight. Johnny Devine wheeled in Kevin Nash in a wheelchair, wearing a neckbrace. A somber Nash said it was the darkest day of his life. Nash took off his dog tags and gave them to Shelley, and told him to "go to war".


Winner to receive an X-Division Title match
Chris Sabin vs Alex Shelley

Nash was wheeled to ringside for the match. Shelley and Sabin exchanged some holds to start. There were audio problems, as the commentary faded in and out. They traded armdrags and counters, with neither man gaining an advantage. Devine handed Shelley a water bottle for a drink. Shelley rammed Sabin into a corner, then ran into a Sabin boot. Sabin was backdropped to the ring apron, but he came back with a springboard dropkick for a two count. Sabin hit a kick to the back and a running enzugiri for a two count. Sabin set up for a powerbomb, and mocked Nash, but then dropkicked Shelley instead. Sabin mocked Nash for having a neck injury.

Shelley flipped over a Sabin back suplex attempt, but was hit by a forearm. Shelley grabbed a bulldog and hit a moonsault for a two count. Sabin hit a jawbreaker, but Shelley tripped him. Sabin hiptossed Shelley to the floor, then hit him with a tope, landing at the feet of Nash. Back in the ring, Sabin used a testicular claw and a dropkick on Shelley, but couldn't put him away. Sabin hit a running high kick in the corner, but Shelley came back with an armbar/crossface combo. Sabin made the ropes to force a break. Shelley slammed Sabin and went to the top rope, but Sabin crotched him and hung him in the Tree of Woe. Sabin hit a dropkick, then pulled Shelley off the ropes into a DDT for a two count. Sabin put Shelley on the top rope, but Shelley bit his head to break free. Shelley got behind Sabin and hit a backcracker. Shelley hit an Air Raid Crash while Devine distracted the referee. The referee then came over and made a two count. Devine then distracted the referee again (obviously, Devine had done it too soon the first time) and Nash slid a chair to Shelley. Shelley went to use it, but Sabin avoided it and gave Shelley the Cradle Shock for the win at the eight minute mark.

Winner: Chris Sabin
