Notes:
- Bobby Lashley seemed off his game tonight.
- Roddy Piper worked the crowd well.
- BG James didn't do well without a script to follow.
- Kip James struggled.
- Jeff Jarrett didn't do well either. Well fuck.
- Konnan was visibly tiring towards the end of his match.
- Ron Killings improvised well in his segment.
- LuFisto and Mickie James have Pretty Good chemistry, and it lifted their match.
- Raven didn't do well without a script. What the hell is going on?
- AJ Styles seemed off his game tonight.
Have a few bits of news similar to this one. At first I thought the game was getting spastic because they're still pulling Bs, but I forgot how many people WWE did business with around the world. I still think they'll be fine.
I set him to On Hiatus like The Rock. Tempted to pull him in, but just like Rock they're still technically contracted to WWE and I'd have to wait til they're in their final month.
For the first time in a while, TNA lost money this month ( -$72,496). I'd chalk that up to Written Contracts for my few active guys and a couple of big names I'm about to bring to the dinner table.
Also have to let a few guys go. I'm at 41 right now and making some elbow room would probably be for the best. I hate bloated rosters.
Some of these may be a shocker, but I just don't have a place for them in the near future:

Todd Pettengill grabbed a brief word with Interim GM Mick Foley. He asked him about The Effect and if he was concerned with what they might do days before Lockdown. Foley wasn't worried, and with the looming presence of Sting now part of TNA he's felt a new wave of confidence there in Indiana. So much so that he's booked the Main Event- it will be Jeff Jarrett, The Owner of TNA, against Mick Foley! He gave a smile and slid back into his office, leaving Todd flummoxed.

Father James Mitchell watched the women fight from a wall screen before Percy Pringle got his attention. Pringle stated that for the past few weeks Mitchell has asked around the locker room for management services. Having failed to sign anyone at every turn, should Mitchell focus on bringing Abyss to the focus of TNA? Father James Mitchell smirked, telling him that Abyss was ready, and that whoever gave Pringle his information was a liar.

Behind closed doors, Sting is berating Goldberg, telling him to get his head in the game. They're still outnumbered. It's possible to eradicate the menace at Lockdown, however - Goldberg retains against Raven and Sting wins the tournament. Being the owner, Jarrett is already has a spot so best Sting could do was request entry as well. Goldberg agreed, and didn't know what came over him last week. Strong front in the face of the enemy!

The James Gang parody The Green Mile, right down to the Kip calling himself Kip James, Kip like taking a nap, it's even spelled the same.

Post-Match: Attack
Raven came out with Randy Savage and Rena Mero in tow. They pummeled Foley into a bloody mess before Raven grabbed a mic. He is sick of the disrespect given by Foley, Sting, Piper, and Goldberg. The Effect are a greater threat to their comfy desk-slobbering lives than they realize. Raven reminded the audience that last year he challenged for the World Championship at Lockdown and won. Goldberg has no strong army to challenge The Effect. It's already over for him. Raven threw the mic down and picked the fallen Jarrett up, smiling at the camera.
