Commentators: Taz & Mike Tenay
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
The road to BFG Series heats up tonight as “No Surrender” comes live from St. Louie. Magnus is shown arriving to the arena and then a great video package hyping up the Final Four is shown followed by a video package hyping up Anderson vs. Bully.
Bully Ray makes his way down to the ring accompanied by Brooke Tessmacher. Bully says things in his family haven’t been going “exactly right” lately and he and the VP aren’t on the same page right now. Bully says he’s willing to forgive Anderson because all of their problems are because of Hulk Hogan. A big “Hogan” chant starts and then Hogan comes out onto the stage.
Hogan says his ears are burning because some idiot is mentioning his name. Hogan welcomes us to “No Surrender” and gets a cheap pop for the St. Louis namedrop. Hogan says instead of being a crybaby Bully should be worried about defending his title against one of his brothers…brother. Bully says Hogan is the reason there are problems in Aces & Eights and he knows that his brother will do the right thing tonight. Bully says if that’s what he needs to worry about then Anderson needs to come out and tell him face to face.
Anderson walks out and Hogan tries to shake his hand but Anderson just walks by him. Bully says A&8 is stronger than Hogan will ever be and then he tells Anderson that all he has to do is apologize and it’s over. Anderson says Bully is right and he was out of line, and he can’t “freakin’ weight to get out of line tonight” before decking Ray! Anderson says there WILL be a new World Champion tonight!
Hogan says the World Title match will now be Last Man Standing!
Tenay and Taz hype up the Final Four tonight.

Backstage ODB says a lot of things have changed over the last year but one thing that hasn’t change is she hasn’t had the Knockouts Title in over 3 years. ODB says she’s training hard and almost thought about stopping drinking, but then laughed and said next week she’s taking Mickie’s belt.
James Storm & Gunner are in the ring. Storm says it looks like he and Gunner are in the right place tonight and looking at his beer bottle he can’t help but think there is a lot of beer drinkers here tonight. He says he and Gunner were talking about sitting around and watching the BFG Series Finals and as much as he’d like to kick back and drink all night, but Gunner wants to fight so he figures they can do both. Storm says all they need is some opponents now and it doesn’t matter if its Bro-Mans or “Aces & Idiots” or Bad Influence because there are a lot of guys in the back that run their “bottle suckers” while what they need to do is “man up, step up, and drink up.”
Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez walk out and Chavo says if that’s the case then it won’t matter if they step up then. Chavo says Storm is a great tag team wrestler and he may be one half of one of the greatest tag teams of all time, but not THE greatest tag team of all time because THE greatest tag team of all time is whatever team Chavo is a part of. Chavo says Gunner is jacked and he is one of the strongest guys in TNA but not THE strongest guy because that’s Hernandez (that’s a shoot). Chavo says Gunner and Storm have been on a little losing streak so he thinks if there is a match between he & Hernandez against Gunner and Storm then their losing streak will continue because they’re the better tag team.
Gunner says it sounds like they’re pitching out a challenge so he’s got a challenge for them, next week Gunner & Storm vs. Hernandez & Chavo and if they win then maybe they’ll get a title shot. Gunner says if they ever put their nose in the champs business again then he’ll bash their faces with the belt.
