TNA Impact Wrestling Results
August 18th, 2016
Report By Joshua Lopez for WrestleZone.com
Bobby Lashley, Aron Rex, Dixie Carter and Billy Corgan Backstage Segment:
Bobby Lashley is walking around the backstage area with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He sees Aron Rex having an discussion with Dixie Carter and Billy Corgan. Lashley walks right up into Aron Rex’s face. They have a stare off and Lashley walks away.
James Storm, Brian Hebner and Billy Corgan In-Ring Segment:
Storm tells referee Brian Hebner to come into the ring. We see a replay of the finish from last week’s World Title Match between James Storm and Bobby Lashley. Storm talks about the history he has with Hebner and he want’s a rematch with Bobby Lashley. Storm is interrupted by the new TNA President, Billy Corgan. Corgan knows that Storm is upset, but he’s not sure what he wants him to do because the referee’s decision is final. Games are won and lost in the fourth quarter, and there’s nothing he can do. This is wrestling, the fans want a rematch, and so does he.
TNA is about listening to the people, and Corgan says he’s a TNA original, and he’s out here begging. Corgan says it’s about wins and losses, and he lost. Maybe it’s got nothing to do with his damn luck, maybe he just can’t win the big one. Storm goes under the ring, rumps out a toolkit, grabs a monkey wrench, and he says he helped build this damn company, and he will tear this son of a bitch apart limb by limb by limb. Corgan is nothing but a stupid rock star to him. Security comes in for Billy Corgan’s protection, and Storm takes a big drink of beer, then he says rock stars need security, and the boys take care of the business themselves.
Storm tells a security guy to not put his hands on him. Corgan comes into this company and knows nothing about him. AJ Styles and Bobby Roode left, and he stayed here because he loves this company, and he tells Corgan not to tell him anything about begging. Storm smashes a bottle over a security guard’s head, and Corgan calms him down and says his actions here have proven his point. Storm has beaten the crap out of a lot of men in his life, but he’s never had the chance to beat the hell out of a rock star, and if their paths ever cross again, he’s going to Smash Corgan’s Pumpkin. Corgan says he has a message for Storm to put in his pocket on his way back to Nashville. Storm is officially suspended.
