Impact Wrestling Results - 7/7/2011
From Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida
Report by: Alex Barie of WrestlingNewsWorld.com

The show starts out with a recap of last week's confrontation between Sting and Hulk Hogan. It then shows how Immortal attacked Sting along with Mr. Anderson. As they attack Sting, Kurt Angle runs out to the ring and helps Sting as Immortal retreats. The video ends and Immortal, Bully Ray, Scott Steiner, and Gunner are in the ring.

Bully Ray has a mic and he quickly calls out Mr. Anderson. The lights go out and Anderson's music plays. He comes out on stage with the TNA World Title over his shoulder. The mic drops down from the rafters as he is on stage. He introduces himself (Anderson........Anderson) and then makes his way down to the ramp. Mike Tenay states that Mr. Anderson will be facing Sting next week with the Title on the line.

Bully gets back on the mic and says he is not impressed with any of that. Bully then mocks Anderson as he introduces himself (Bulllyyyyy Rayyyyyy). Bully tells Ken to keep his mouth shut and if he doesn't, then he sure will get beat up with Bully's back-up. Bully isn't happy at all as he states. He says Ken did a great job dropping Sting down last week and he will continue it this week. He then continues to talk about Sting about his eyes and face paint and how he's running around with his black bat. Bully says Ken can't beat Sting. Ken needs Immortal just as much as Immortal needs Ken. Not only that, but Immortal needs the TNA World Title. If Ken goes with Immortal, everyone will be happy. Scott then gets the mic. He tells Ken to put up or shut up. Hogan gave Ken every opportunity to decide on his own and he keeps messing around. Ken's time is up. Tonight, Scott says, Ken needs to say tonight if he is with Immortal or not. If he is not, then he has to deal with Scott. Gunner then gets on the mic and says that Hogan went to them earlier in the week and told them the main event. He says it's Immortal (all of Immortal) vs. Sting and his new found friend, Kurt Angle. Ken has a decision to make tonight, though. They want the answer by the end of that match. If he doesn't, then he won't see the light of day again. Gunner says to hit the music.....and well....the music does go on....of Sting. The lights go out and then the spotlight comes on and shows Sting in the rafters. He has his crazed look on his face. The lights come back on and Kurt Angle is in the ring. He attacks Immortal as Bully Ray gets out of the ring. Ken stays in the ring. Kurt grabs the mic and says that Sting and himself expect Ken to make an easy decision tonight. He tells Ken not to make hit hard for himself. Kurt's music plays.

The show cuts back to Beer Money backstage. Storm asks if Roode is alright as Roode has a match tonight and he isn't sure if his arm is up to par. Roode then asks about Storm teaming up with Matt Morgan tonight and Storm says he forgot. Roode is fighting next!
