2011 - TNA broadcast Impact Wrestling. Stu Carapola filed the following TV report:
We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Mike ‘I Can’t Wait for Halloween Horror Nights’ Tenay and Taz.
Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring and he is on a mission.
Angle wants Hulk Hogan to come out so they can end this once and for all. Hulk Hogan obliges Angle and he joins Hogan in the ring.
Angle says that Hogan has been blowing up his phone, but Angle figured that Hogan would have received the message since Angle did not answer. Angle says that there is nothing appealing about Immortal because it is full of asskissers and is led by the two biggest scumbags in wrestling.
Angle says that he is going to beat Sting for the World Title and because he has never beaten Sting without outside interference. Angle says that he will win at Hardcore Justice and he will prove that he is the best in the world. Angle asks Hogan if he knows what it is like to be the best in the world.
Hogan wants to know if Angle is calling him out because he wants to know if Hogan knows how it feels to be the best in the world. Hogan tells Kurt Angle that he knows what it is like to be the best. He knows what it is like when there was no Sting, Matt Morgan, RVD, or Kurt Angle. He knew what it was like when there was an Andre the Giant. He took the companies on his back and he made it into an international phenomenon.
He knows what it is like to have sixteen year old punks wanting to being like him. In 1984, when Angle was pooping in his diapers, he was packing them in so he knows what it is like to be the best. Now that he can see that they have this cleared up, he says that he was calling Angle because he thought that Angle had a vision of a higher level that he can work at. One that means Angle making more money. Hogan points out that Angle’s kids can’t eat his gold medals. Hogan says that he was going to offer Angle more money and Hogan points out that Angle is disrespecting him.
Angle says that the reason he is not kicking Hogan’s ass is because he respects Hogan. Angle says that he is not Ken Anderson. He cannot be bought. When he signed five years ago with Dixie Carter, he vowed to be the best in the ring. Angle says that he paid to see Hogan back in the day because he was the best and he was one of a kind. Now the name Hulk Hogan means something different because Hogan can’t go any more.
Hogan tells Angle to stop because Hogan says that he is never going to step in this ring to wrestle again. After thirty years of being the greatest wrestler and eight back surgeries and hip and knee replacements. Hogan tells Angle that if he says something about his wife or family, he might have to take care of Angle. Maybe Angle is training for the Olympics because he didn’t pin his opponent in 1996. If Angle wants to fight him for his pride, we are getting close to seeing that.
Angle says that Sting was right and Angle says that he lit a fire under Hogan’s ass. Angle says that he wants to go back to the Olympics because the fire still burns. He tells Hogan to prove it if he can still go again.
Hogan wants Angle to tell him straight so he asks Kurt Angle one more time.
Angle says that if Hogan wants to offer him a lot of money to take care of Sting, why doesn’t Hogan do it himself. Why not prove that he can do it one more time. Angle tells Hogan not to call him again.

Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley, and Brian Kendrick worked to build the X Division and over that time they built respect for each other.

Now they will play by his rules and that means to win at all costs.
Aries says that he has a career of five star matches, but he wants a five star bank account. He does not have to take short cuts because he is not only the best in the ring, he might be the greatest man of all time. He says that he will be the X Division Champion.
Kendrick reminds Aries that he is the X Division champion. He says that he will not lose the title to Aries.
Shelley tells Aries to take his five star matches and shove them up his ass. Shelley points out that Aries cost him his shot at the title. Shelley says that he asked the network and that because of their desire to push the X Division, Shelley gets his rematch against Kendrick and Aries in a Three Way Dance.
Abyss comes out and he wonders if Kendrick forgot him. He says that Kendrick is not going to make it to Hardcore Justice. Abyss says that as much as the Network thinks that they control things, Hogan and Bischoff still call the shots here. Hogan and Bischoff have given him his rematch for the X Division title and it is tonight. He says that he will do what he should have done at Destination X. He is going to kill the X Division once and for all.
Sting appears on the SpikeTron and he apologizes for raining on his parade. Sting says that he has more stroke than Hogan and Bischoff combined.

2012 - CHIKARA ran Portland, Maine. Bobby Imperato filed the following results:
CHIKARA results, in front of about 200 fans:
*Green Ant defeated Assailant with a leg submission. Decent opener that built slow but really hit its climax at the finish.
CHIKARA has such an awesome atmosphere. It's a nice change of pace although it's very carny...but so's wrestling.
*Anthony Stone pinned Kobald to earn a spot in the Young Lions Cup. Also involved wereJiving Jimmy and Cameron Matthews. The match was a ton of fun. Kobald eliminated Jimmy. Jimmy was about 400 pounds but had a ton of personality. He even did an dive off the apron. Stone eliminated Matthews with a codebreaker. Matthews was young and a hell of an athlete. He's green but his upside is huge. Some nice aerial and he sold everything. Stone is another athletic guy.
*Ophidian made Frightmare submit. Delirious made a surprise appearance halfway through the match in Ophidian's corner. It was a back and foirth match and very competitive,. Nice first match back for Frightmare. All these CHIKARA guys know how to sell.
*The Handsome Stranger (the "banned" Archibald Peck, who lost a Loser leaves CHIKARA match at the last iPPV and has since starred in a series of "Where In The World is...." videos) defeated Icarus with a legdrop off the top rope. Handsome Stranger was Buff Bagwell's first gimmick in Global Wrestling when he first broke in. I wish Ring of Honor would use Peck this well. So funny and so much charisma. He's not bad in the ring either. Icarus is doing his best playing the straight man here. The crowd chanted Cowboy whenever Stranger was in trouble.
*3.0 and Akuma defeated Deviant & Soldier Ant & Combat Ant. The story here is that the CHIKARA computer created random trips Soldier is feuding with Combat and Devi Ant. He refused to help his partners, leaving them alone at the end.
*The Batiri defeated Tim Donst and Jacob Hammermeier after a miscommunication. Delirious is back at ringside. He goes straight to the corner of the Batiri. Donst wants nothing to do with the match. Every time he gets tagged in, he rolled out of the ring. Very one sided match early with Batiri destroying Jacob. Donst finally gets in the ring and cleans house. Donst nailed a huge dive to the outside. Delirious entered the ring after the match and kisses both members of the Batiri on the head and leaves ringside. Jacob goes to hug Donst after the match but gets pushed away.
*Sugar Dunkerton pinned The Shard with a quick rollup. Dunkerton got a big response. He controlled most of the match and at one point used mini basketballs from an arcade game in the corner of the venue on Shard.
*Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw, Hallowicked and Ultramantis Black defeated The Heart Throbs and The Young Bucks. This was the first time the Throbs have done the gimmick together in forever. Huge ovation for Quack. The match had everything - comedy, technical wrestling, Lucha Libre and WWE style wrestling.
*Grand champion of CHIKARA Eddie Kingston pinned Sara del Rey. Rey with vicious MMA kicks to Kingston. He spits in her face. He drills her with some stiff headbutts. Really cool bout so far. Del Rey nailed a superplex off the top. Kingston drilled her with a diamond cutter that was awesome.
Excellent show.
