Sting vs. the Fans (9/4 Impact Recap)

Highlights of Sting’s comments about the younger TNA talent from last Thursday opens the show. The video game Impact intro hits and we are welcomed to this week’s show where we will get to hear Sting speak out again. Plus, Abyss is throwing out an open challenge and Christian Cage takes on AJ Styles in the final Four Ways to Glory qualifier.

Kurt Angle makes his way out to the ring wearing a suit and carrying a microphone. Booker T then makes his way out as well along with his wife Sharmell. Angle says that they look like real champions and say that they have class and dignity, something Samoa Joe will never have. Angle calls Joe a disgrace to the TNA Championship and Booker agrees by saying that Sting was telling the truth.

Booker and Angle begin talking about their game plans for No Surrender until Christian Cage interrupts. Cage says he is going to qualify for Four Ways to Glory tonight and will regain the World Championship in his own backyard. Booker tries to get Cage to join their side but Cage wants no part of it and they begin to brawl in the ring. AJ Styles comes down to the ring to give Cage a hand and chases Booker and Angle out of the ring.
