JB and his opponent from Houston00:00:58
Texas00:01:01
TNA Management's Jim cornette realized00:01:05
the serious nature of Booker teas and00:01:07
fatuation with getting his hands on00:01:10
Robert Roode when he scheduled tonight's00:01:12
impact main event cornette is trying to00:01:15
defuse the heated situation that all00:01:18
stemmed from rude shattering the jaw of00:01:22
Booker's wife charmell and then having00:01:25
absolutely no remorse about the punch00:01:28
after rude cowardly escaped from Booker00:01:31
at Against All Odds leaving in a getaway00:01:34
car Booker has been obsessed with00:01:37
getting his revenge Roode has avoided00:01:39
the confrontation at this point by not00:01:41
showing up at the Impact Zone both last00:01:44
week and tonight but the two will meet00:01:48
one onone at destination X when TNA00:01:51
debuts in Northfolk Virginia Mike I00:01:54
think this match is going to be good for00:01:56
Booker T it's it's going to give him a00:01:58
little bit of normaly he can focus on00:02:00
something other than Robert Roode now00:02:03
maybe he'll want to project Robert Roode00:02:05
onto Kurt Angle and maybe that'll help00:02:07
him take out his frustrations there but00:02:09
you know he's just had such Tunnel00:02:11
Vision on Robert Rood and what he's00:02:14
going to do with him that it cannot be00:02:15
completely healthy and I think Jim00:02:17
Cornet realized that Mike and that's why00:02:19
he he booked this match this evening yes00:02:21
at destination exit will be Booker T00:02:25
one-on-one against Robert Roode but also00:02:27
how about that six-man Main Event tag00:02:30
team match Christian Cage Samoa Joe and00:02:34
Kevin Nash against the angle Alliance00:02:37
TOMCO AJ Styles and the TNA World00:02:40
Heavyweight Champion the Olympic gold00:02:42
medalist Kurt Angle we know what Samoa00:02:45
Joe's plan is it's to eliminate the00:02:48
angle Alliance completely before he gets00:02:50
a shot at at curtain the TNA world's00:02:53
heavyweight title and boy Christian Cage00:02:56
really put things into perspective with00:02:58
that interview that we just heard and00:03:00
now we know that our suspicions were00:03:01
correct it was AJ Styles that caught him00:03:04
with the chair but what I liked about00:03:06
that interview was how focused the00:03:08
Christian Cage was I liked how he named00:03:10
him the unlikely Alliance that they00:03:12
aren't friends they probably won't be00:03:13
friends after this but they have the00:03:16
common goal and that's to get rid of the00:03:18
angle Alliance and Samoa Joe's plan00:03:22
comes to fruition as you can see the00:03:24
three of them right there they looked00:03:25
like they were going to be an awful00:03:27
incredible formidable Force boy you00:03:29
don't this very often opening minute of00:03:31
the matchup Kurt Angles getting out00:03:34
wrestled Booker T in total control here00:03:37

his face and that's the first time we've00:03:40

he's got control over the Olympic gold00:03:52
medalist and the TNA World Heavyweight00:03:54
Champion at least to this point well he00:03:55
can say it doesn't bother him but Kurt00:03:57
Angle has got to be thinking about his00:03:59
wife here and he's got to be thinking00:04:00
about the phenomenal AJ Styles and00:04:02
what's going on I mean let's face it no00:04:05
man can just put that aside and and and00:04:07

looked like he would bust Robert Roode00:17:25
open including driving him head first00:17:27
into our broadcast table but that has00:17:29
not been the case I'll tell you what00:17:31
he's got some tough skin as his head was00:17:33
driven into the broadcast table it was00:17:35
driven into the rail three or four times00:17:37
but Robert Roode has turned it around00:17:39
and now we've had to check Booker te on00:17:42
three or four occasions and Thomas with00:17:44
the white towel Mike but oh no Robert Ru00:17:47
throwing the tear in anything you can do00:17:49
to make him bleed yes chair brought into00:17:52
play as Roode takes that shot big fist00:17:56
to the head of Booker ke and he's got00:17:58
some kind of a game plan some strategy00:18:00
here in mind going to use that steel00:18:02
chair obviously to try and draw that00:18:04
blood remember this is not about pinfall00:18:07
this is not about submission plain and00:18:09
simple make your opponent bleed to lose00:18:11
oh the drop C did he did he get him that00:18:14
time he hit his forehead straight into00:18:16
the CH and he damaged it look at that00:18:17
the looking no block oh my God Booker T00:18:21
that was so close but now Robert Roode00:18:23
could to use those Knuckles twist them00:18:25
and drive them in want to have one more00:18:27

the momentum of Booker T to force his00:18:52
head into that chair and to make him00:18:54
leave but remember these things can go00:18:56
crazy remember the tonco Samoa Joe match00:18:59

Revenge this is what he's been waiting00:19:27
for for months you got to give Robert00:19:28
Roode credit though so many people have00:19:30
thought Booker T would have had that00:19:32
Revenge but Robert Roode he's been very00:19:34
methodical in this he's been goting00:19:36
Booker key and all the while it's00:19:38

title belt tonight it's Samoa Joe's00:23:23
chance to get his title back well Samoa00:23:27
Joe let him keep the belt that was the00:23:29
thing that kind of surprised everybody00:23:31
but Joe used it as motivation in Joe's00:23:34
mind as long as Booker T is wearing that00:23:36
belt around his waist then that keeps00:23:39
him focused on the TK and that's getting00:23:41
it back to its rightful owner which of00:23:43
course is this time it's Samoa Joe you00:23:46
can see now Booker T that look of of00:23:49
pure dedication for what he's going to00:23:51
go through tonight buddy you better plan00:23:52
on being hurt because you're going to00:23:54

seal00:24:01
and there you see the man who's the real00:24:04
Champion here Samoa Joe you'll remember00:24:07
that initially Joe issued a challenge to00:24:09
settle things in the six sides of Steel00:24:12
but then it was the counter offer by00:24:14
Booker T he said we're going to add00:24:17
weapons to the six sides of steel00:24:21
cage he is no stranger to brutality and00:24:25

from everybody including his mentor00:25:19
Kevin Nash those words that must ring in00:25:22
his head day after day you can't beat00:25:26
hooker te well one thing I've got to say00:25:29
it looks like his mind's in the right00:25:31
place he's letting Kevin Nash deal with00:25:34
the stink situation no matter how00:25:36
bizarre it is because if he's thinking00:25:38
about what sting might do and we know00:25:41
how unpredictable he's been then he's00:25:43
not going to have the right mindset once00:25:45
he gets locked in that cage he's got to00:25:47
think of one thing and that's making00:25:49
sure that he's either the first one out00:25:50
of there p subit and bring home that00:25:54
belt00:25:55
where Samoa Joe circles the R circles00:25:58

see the weapons in PlayOn I see hockey00:28:32
sticks I see canes I see trash cans00:28:34
Kendo sticks Lids a little bit of00:28:37
everything of course the key to this00:28:38
match is to make sure your opponent is00:28:41
laid out not getting up so that you can00:28:43
just exit out of the six sides of Steel00:28:46
and come walk over and take this00:28:47
championship belt yeah it may have been00:28:50
confusing to some people maybe watch you00:28:51
for the first time but you're right00:28:53
Samoa Joe let Booker T keep that belt as00:28:56
motivation to to polish it up I'll come00:28:59
get it when I'm ready because all he's00:29:00
heard is what he can't do with Booker te00:29:03
well I like that mindset his Booker00:29:05
tried to get a hockey stick and use it00:29:07
on Joe Joe just came right at him just00:29:09
disabled the weapon from it sets him up00:29:12
in the corner and right above us here go00:29:13
you can hear those chops to the chest00:29:16
Booker sent for the ride Jo going to00:29:17
follow up oh man did he just drill him00:29:19
in the corner he just went right out of00:29:21
and Booker T was waiting think about it00:29:23
you got weapons everywhere but the X00:29:26
will ring itself right now is a weapon00:29:28
the six sides of Steel are unforgiving00:29:31
they have no give in them I mean it's00:29:33
like hitting a wall and it's like00:29:34
hitting a chees grater so you got to be00:29:37
careful with that it's not just about00:29:39
the weapons that you can get a hold of00:29:40
and again for a second time we see00:29:42
Booker T grabbed for a weapon and Joe00:29:45
cut him off not enabling him not00:29:47
allowing him to use it and then Joe00:29:48
catches him again first with the elbow00:29:50
and then with those very talented feet00:29:53
boy he caught him that time and drilled00:29:54
him it amazes you every time you see it00:29:57
how high in the air he can get those00:29:58
kicks for a big man I mean it's just you00:30:01
cannot ever judge a book by that cover00:30:04
because he's one of the most agile00:30:05
athletes we've ever seen and that's00:30:07
right at 280 plus pounds this guy can do00:30:10
things that just defy logic in his eyes00:30:13
Joe pulls down the trash can positions00:30:16
it for Booker and then just caught him00:30:18
with that kick look how he just oh man s00:30:23
down right on top of the trash can and00:30:25
smashes it into Booker te00:30:31
Advantage here in the early stages of00:30:34
our TNA World Heavyweight title our hard00:30:36
Justice Main Event has to be Samoa Joe00:30:39
well I'll tell you what though that's00:30:40
where you could see I can see it on his00:30:42
face that shot hurt him in the back I00:30:44
mean when you do something like that you00:30:46
don't think about the damage that can00:30:47
cause you now he's grabbing the kindo00:30:49
stick as Booker T trying to get to his00:30:52
feet and look at it Joe twirling the00:30:53
weapon around oh my what a shot to the00:30:56
side of the head oh those things it's00:30:58
unreal you know you see the the trash00:31:00
can the trash can that kindo stick it's00:31:03
just something about it you can hear it00:31:05
you can feel00:31:06
it Joe stalks Booker in the corner see00:31:10
the punches the series of shots to the00:31:12
head to the00:31:14
midsection talk to somebody been hit by00:31:17
one tell you they' probably rather be00:31:18
hit by a car than a Kindle stick the00:31:20
head quick reversal here by Booker able00:31:23
to shoot Samo Joel off into the corner00:31:25
first signs up offense from the actual00:31:28
Challenger in this match Booker T now00:31:30
he's got Joe on the defensive well you00:31:32
can hear Booker T screaming I mean it's00:31:34
getting him fired up oh man he just00:31:38
crushed it crushed that garbage can00:31:41
right on the forehead of Samoa Joe had00:31:43
knocked him down and now Booker he's00:31:45
looking around he's just got his eye on00:31:47
that hockey stick and he wants to use it00:31:50
and you can see he's looking at the back00:31:51
of Samo Joe right now the hockey stick00:31:54
that Joe blocked earlier able to move00:31:56
out of the way oh my what a kick by Joe00:31:59
I'll tell you what Joe just again just00:32:01
his quickness was surprise you and right00:32:03
there he had to you it was desperation00:32:06
because you see that swing Booker T took00:32:07
with that I mean he didn't hold anything00:32:11
back Joe's got another weapon pulling00:32:14
down the trash can lid and circling00:32:16
while Booker Booker's down and now Joe's00:32:19
got the second trash can I I have a00:32:21
feeling that we know what he's going to00:32:22
try and do here oh he's going to ring00:32:24
his Bell man does he ring it Oh shot00:32:27
look at oh on the back and it one for00:32:30
the face holy cow he hit him on the ears00:32:33
the back of the head and the face with00:32:35
the tragic and L series of three shots00:32:37
leads to this the pin attempt in a two00:32:40
count you can hear charmell screaming at00:32:44
her husband trying to cheer Booker on00:32:46
here Joe methodical at this point but it00:32:49
looks on like he has some kind of a game00:32:51
plan when it comes to using these00:32:53
weapons and he's got the steel chair now00:32:56
oh he took the swing oh how about that00:32:58
spin kick by Booker T as Joe missed with00:33:01
the chair Booker just kept his motion00:33:04
going and just spin kick it right in his00:33:06
face had all that momentum behind the00:33:08
kick and the steel chair went right into00:33:10
the face as you said of Samoa Joe and00:33:13
now Booker's got the chair as a weapon00:33:15
and Joe's down back exposed Joe going to00:33:18
try and get back up to his feet Booker's00:33:21
got it got the chair almost if he's00:33:23
waiting for Joe just to get up so he can00:33:25
hit him with with more impact and that's00:33:27
exactly what he just did The Knockout00:33:29
blow the top of the head you could see00:33:32
where he caught him I don't know if it00:33:33
was on the spin kick that he caught him00:33:35
there or right there but Booker T is00:33:37
busted open Samoa Joe and now look at00:33:39
him just applying the fist right there00:33:41
where he knows he's hit him hard oh no00:33:44
oh takes the trash can leg positions it00:33:46
across the head and face of Joe and00:33:48
drops down leg right across the weapon00:33:51
right and there you can see that Joe has00:33:53
been busted wide open and the blood now00:33:56
flowing down and look at where the00:33:57
blood's flowing down into his eyes could00:33:59
be a problem in terms of Joe's Vision00:34:01
going forward in this match oh and you00:34:03
can sense it Booker ke feels it I mean00:34:05
he's got the advantage and now look at00:34:07
that using that that is it like a is it00:34:11
like an ax handle or something like it's00:34:13
hard to see from where yeah some kind of00:34:15
a handle sure and he's just using it on00:34:17
the neck of Samoa00:34:18
[Applause]00:34:19
[Music]00:34:21
Joe oh Joe's just L look at Joe drop00:34:24
down to a knee at the same time that b00:34:27
goes up to climb the cage and Joe is00:34:29
there going to try and cut him off00:34:31
Booker trying to escape the cage and00:34:33
they meet up at the top and Joe with00:34:35
right hands series of shots by Joe going00:34:39
to try and snap him down off the top00:34:41
I'll tell you what he just grabbed him00:34:43
by the neck but I'm going to tell you00:34:44
Booker T not only hit his face in the00:34:46
man he had a bad landing with his leg00:34:47
too as you can see Joe as the blood's00:34:50
getting W kind of rolling into his eyes00:34:52
he's going to have to just somehow clear00:34:54
that out of the way you got to wonder if00:34:55
it's affecting his vision I'm watching00:34:57
him wipe it away right now here in front00:34:58
of me also takes away from your focus00:35:01
from your concentration on what your00:35:03
next offensive move might be when when00:35:05
you're concentrating on the fact that00:35:06
you've got that blood flowing into your00:35:08
eyes Joe with the right sets up Booker00:35:11
you can see Booker's wobbly legged at00:35:13
this point three shots four shots now00:35:15
Joe takes him and just drives him and00:35:18
you talked about maybe the Ultimate00:35:19
Weapon in this six sides of Steel that's00:35:22
that steel cage and Booker went right00:35:24
into it I mean you're hitting a wall it00:35:25
is amazing it's because of just six00:35:28
sides of Steel it just takes away any of00:35:30
the give and now Samoa Joe going to try00:35:33
to climb out of the cage himself and get00:35:35
them but look at that Booker goes right00:35:37
at him and then just kind of slams him00:35:38
on his back impressive power move by00:35:40
Booker on the near 300 lb Joe the00:35:43
lateral press and referee hner counts00:35:46
to pin submission or escape the cage00:35:49
that's your options to win the TNA World00:35:51
Heavyweight Championship tonight here at00:35:53
hard Justice look at Booker T look at00:35:56
this he's just got a hold of him he's00:35:58
got style Guan style choke here try to00:36:01
choke the life out of Joe and he is00:36:03
torquing on that neck as he's got the00:36:05
legs wrapped around the00:36:07
midsection you can see Joe trying to get00:36:10
a base trying to get to his feet but at00:36:12
the same time that blood's got to be00:36:13
gling him look at this Joe's got his00:36:15
foot on the rope00:36:17
that and finally referee hebner notices00:36:20
that and breaks that hold breaks that00:36:23
submission move by Booker T really00:36:25
couldn't scream anything and couldn't00:36:27
say anything because of the the grip00:36:29
that Booker T had around his00:36:30
[Applause]00:36:31
[Music]00:36:34
neck boy Joe in trouble at this point00:36:37
and Booker's got the weapon he's got the00:36:39
trash can lid in his hand with Joe's00:36:42
wobbly he's up to a knee he toses the00:36:45
can and then he kicked the can right in00:36:46
Joe's face well Joe has to react you00:36:48
have no choice just being thrown at you00:36:50
it's just Instinct you're going to reach00:36:51
up and you're going to grab it Booker00:36:53
team knew that and just followed it with00:36:55
a kick here we go one here two Joe's00:36:58
right there he knew where he was great00:36:59
Ring awareness certainly the ring00:37:01
positioning of Samoa Joe and realizing00:37:03
that he was close to the ropes and able00:37:05
to get the break as as Booker went for00:37:07
the pin charmell obviously not happy00:37:09
with that neither is Booker T who's now00:37:11
trying to intimidate Earl hner well the00:37:13
bottom line was Earl made the right call00:37:14
in the situation and he just got to00:37:16
focus on the task of hand now he goes00:37:18
right back to where he blooded him up00:37:19
and just putting those fists right into00:37:22
the00:37:23
forehead Joe down and Booker going to00:37:26
try and climb up the side of the cage00:37:28
but you can see that Joe's going to get00:37:29
back up to his feet Booker makes it now00:37:31
up to the top rope Joe reaching for00:37:33
Booker to try and bring him back inside00:37:36
it looked like Booker there he is trying00:37:37
to kick him back down but now Joe's up00:37:39
with the same base that he is and look00:37:41
at the shots are just trading blows it's00:37:44
got to be hard to balance yourself on00:37:45
that rope and you got to use one hand at00:37:47
least to hold on to the cage then Booker00:37:50
takes Joe from around the head drives in00:37:53
face what you see that00:37:55
kidding how do you kick somebody from00:37:58
that position how do you get how do you00:38:00
get your balance to be able to spring up00:38:02
into the air and you can see Booker T00:38:04
dropping down and crotching himself00:38:07
there on the top rope I mean what an00:38:09
opportunity it is right here for Samoa00:38:12
Joe unbelievable that he's able to get00:38:15
that out and look at him it's coming00:38:17
right after him and what a close line00:38:19
Joel comes at Booker a second time drops00:38:21
him with another Lariat going to try and00:38:23
shoot him off here and does back first00:38:25
into the turnbuckles there's the snap00:38:27
slam on him for the cover h no if you00:38:32
could hear him you heard that scream00:38:33
come out from underneath them I mean you00:38:35
can just feel the frustration he knows00:38:37
he's turned things around here yeah you00:38:40
can feel the confidence level of Samoa00:38:42
Joe growing takes him up drops him down00:38:45
power bomb Booker fights it off and then00:38:47
Joe goes stf here he's got the leg gra00:38:50
by at the same time he's got the00:38:51
crossface submission hold applied you00:38:53
can see him just absolutely pulling on00:38:55
the forehead pulling back trying to00:38:57
force Booker T to submit Booker T just00:39:00
holding on and look at this he now grabs00:39:02
the arm and pulls it back just applying00:39:05
more pressure more things go in00:39:07
directions they're not supposed to go00:39:09
Booker fighting through you can see00:39:11
referee hner right in the face of Booker00:39:13
T to see if he's going to tap out to see00:39:15
if he's going to00:39:17
submit Booker trying to slide do00:39:20
anything that he can to get his body00:39:22
near the ring ropes to get a break and00:39:23
Joe hanging on for dear life you can see00:39:26
he just he's reaching out trying to find00:39:28
a rope and if it wasn't for them long00:39:30
legs that he has he never would have00:39:31
caught it the way that Booker was able00:39:33
to position his body to spin it around00:39:35
the effectiveness of the cross face was00:39:37
really lost by Joe towards the end of00:39:39
the submission move steel chair planted00:39:41
in the middle of the Ring by Samoa Joe00:39:43
heads back to pick up a second chair00:39:46
holy cow Samoa Joe wanting to finish him00:39:48
off here give him that death blow as you00:39:51
can see now he's got a hold of Booker T00:39:54
trying to get a hold of him maybe hit00:39:55
him with a muscle bust on the chairs one00:39:57
would think the way that he's got him00:39:58
set up on the top rope but Booker fights00:40:01
back and then she caught him again out00:40:02
of nowhere with the kick unbelievable00:40:04
that he can keep doing that as long as00:40:06
this match keeps going and here he goes00:40:09
muscle Buster attempt here Booker fights00:40:11
it off Joe tries to get his legs00:40:13
positioned properly now he gets him out00:40:16
you think he's going to try and do the00:40:17
muscle Buster on the chair oh but you00:40:19
can see Booker T man he oh no look at00:40:22
that this book hits him right on the00:40:24
chairs just what it looked like Joe was00:40:26
going to go for the muscle Buster Booker00:40:28
hits the book in Joe goes back first00:40:30
onto the steel head down counts two only00:40:33
oh was that close nice counter though by00:40:36
Booker T I mean if he hits that on the00:40:38
chairs it's over he hits that muscle00:40:40
Buster period at this point it's00:40:42
probably over but the chairs just would00:40:44
have made it that much harder and he was00:40:46
able to oh look at this here he goes00:40:48
bust out the spinner Roney back up to00:40:50
his feet doubles Joe over with the boot00:40:53
to the gut Here Comes Booker for the00:40:55
what wait AE a minute what's going on00:40:56
again Booker hit the ax kick and then00:40:58
the lights go00:40:59
out could it be stinging what's going00:41:03
on00:41:05
what a00:41:07
guitar knockout Blow from Samoa Joe lead00:41:11
to the three00:41:12
[Applause]00:41:15
count champ of the00:41:17
world00:41:19
Jo Samoa Joe has done it Samoa Joe has00:41:24
finally beaten Booker T and he hit him00:41:27
with a guitar unbelievable the lights go00:41:30
out so you're expecting something like00:41:32
that happened earlier and the next thing00:41:34
you know Joe standing there with the00:41:36
guitar in the middle and here he comes00:41:37
out of the cage to claim the belt that's00:41:40
rightfully his Samoa Joe takes back his00:41:44
TNA World Heavyweight title but I mean00:41:47
think think of that he used the guitar I00:41:50
I never saw the guitar in play could00:41:52
this mean Mike what I think it mean00:41:54
Turning Point continues with match for00:41:56
the TNA Legions Championship scheduled00:41:59
for one ball in this match if Christian00:42:02
Cage loses he must join the main event00:42:05
Mafia introducing first representing the00:42:08
main event Mafia and accompanied by00:42:10
charmell this for claimed TNA Legends00:42:14
champion00:42:16
[Music]00:42:20
B you break down the list of matches00:42:23
tonight at turning point I don't think00:42:24
there's any question that going forward00:42:28
in terms of TNA in the year 200800:42:31
potentially into 2009 this match could00:42:34
have as much impact as any oh I mean00:42:37
it's all about what's at stake for00:42:39
Christian Cage Christian Cage wins this00:42:41
match up he holds the most00:42:44
impressive Bel I've ever seen look at00:42:46
that thing it really is impressive and00:42:50
he wins this match he stands above and00:42:52
he becomes the most taught after00:42:54
Creation in DNA think about it what a00:42:57
statement he's a loner anyway he's00:42:58
somebody that doesn't want to pick a00:43:00
side he's his own man but if he loses if00:43:04
he loses how powerful is the main event00:43:08
Mafia00:43:11
now no question balance of power would00:43:15
swing even more so to the main event00:43:17
Mafia over the TNA Originals if that00:43:20
would be the outcome tonight at Turning00:43:23
Point Booker charmell in with the00:43:26
championship gold that's on the00:43:29
[Applause]00:43:34
line his opponent is from Tampa Florida00:43:37
by way of Toronto Ontario Canada he is00:43:40
the Instinct classic00:43:43
Christian00:43:45
[Music]00:43:48
K one thing that we've said about the00:43:51
instant classic Christian Cage since his00:43:53
arrival here in TNA is that he's always00:43:57
been his own man we talked about how00:43:59
he'd been non-committal in reference to00:44:02
the overtures made by both the TNA00:44:05
original and the main event Mafia00:44:07
Christian not wanting to take sides in00:44:10
this ongoing War however looking ahead00:44:14
think of the potential here Christian00:44:16
wins obviously he gets the beautiful00:44:18
championship belt of Booker te and sends00:44:21
a state sends a message to the main00:44:23
event Mafia but if Christian Cage loses00:44:27
the ranks of the main event Mafia grow00:44:29
by one as they add yet another star who00:44:34
has been World Heavyweight Champion I00:44:37
mean think about how conflicted though00:44:39
chrisy K is this it's there is a00:44:42
decision that he's got to make he knows00:44:44
it but think about it he's young enough00:44:47
34 going on 35 he he can relate to Samoa00:44:51
Joe AJ Styles and all those guys he00:44:53
knows what they're talking about he can00:44:55
also00:44:56
with Booker T and Kurt Angle and Kevin00:44:58
Nash and sting as a former world00:45:00
champion is somebody who's who in the00:45:02
short time he's been in wrestling has00:45:04
become somewhat of a legend himself he's00:45:06
somebody I think that really is on that00:45:09
fence because he can see both sides M do00:45:12
just join00:45:17
[Applause]00:45:19
Mafia Booker right in the face of00:45:22
Christian putting that title belt on00:45:24
display and you could hear the00:45:26
confrontation as well between those two00:45:29
yes that championship belts at stake but00:45:31
so much more as it pertains to both the00:45:34
freedom of Christian Cage the future of00:45:37
the main event Mafia and the TNA00:45:39
Originals in the ongoing battle I'll00:45:41
tell you this has the potential of some00:45:43
great embarrassment for the main event00:45:45
Mafia I mean Booker key brought this00:45:48
belt in it was his decision he declared00:45:50
himself the legend Champion think about00:45:52
it it's his first title defense00:45:54
Professor I mean I would be tough to go00:45:57
walk back and have to face Kurt Angle00:45:59
and sting in these guys and say hey I00:46:01
lost that Legend's belt that I've just00:46:03
brought out I mean he's got so much at00:46:06
stake but it's a double two if he can00:46:08
get this00:46:09
[Applause]00:46:12
win Booker and Christian lock up early00:46:15
and you saw I think a little surprise to00:46:17
me the clean break by Booker T in the00:46:20
corner they may have to be working00:46:22
together I mean think of the Charisma00:46:25
that ch Cades would bring to the main00:46:27
event Mafia those guys know that they00:46:29
know that so you know you don't want to00:46:31
make this too personal of your booklet00:46:32
te you you've got a game plan you're00:46:34
doing this for the other members I mean00:46:36
this is a strong move you really really00:46:39
really increase your strength but you00:46:41
can see Christian Cage he loves this00:46:43
kind of a challenge Mike see how quickly00:46:45
he went for the pin first offensive move00:46:47
the shoulder block right on top of00:46:49
Booker attempted to three count and as00:46:52
they got up as they made eye contact you00:46:54
saw him making the motion of the00:46:56
championship belt Christian in00:46:58
anticipation of winning Booker's new00:47:01
goal one thing about these two Mike00:47:03
you'd have to admit that they know each00:47:05
other for so many years past as good as00:47:07
anyone I mean these guys know what the00:47:08
other's about they know what makes the00:47:10
other one kick so you know they're00:47:12
they're going to be prepared they're00:47:14
going to have a lot of counters for a00:47:15
lot of moves that that might catch00:47:17
somebody else off guard it won't catch00:47:19
these guys off00:47:20
guard wow lighting up the chest with the00:47:23
knife edge then the right hand shot you00:47:25
saw that Christian was able to block00:47:27
that second attempt at the punch and he00:47:29
unleashes an offense of his own00:47:31
punctuated by the elbow to the face and00:47:33
the follow cover and not even a one00:47:35
count before Booker powers out and then00:47:37
Booker takes a powder well Booker's00:47:39
trying to regroup it looks like he got00:47:40
hit in the eye there and he's trying to00:47:42
get the sweat out of the eye or the00:47:43
sting out of it and and regroup I mean00:47:45
he's he's somebody that knows patience00:47:47
is a virtue he knows this guy's not been00:47:50
a what a six-time world champion for00:47:52
nothing I mean he he knows what it takes00:47:55
it's sometimes when the battle's not00:47:56
going your way just stop turn it around00:47:59
get out take a break and get back in00:48:01
little conference with wife sharmell at00:48:03
ringside in an effort to get yes his00:48:06
mind back on track and really00:48:08
understanding here what's at stake with00:48:10
the championship belt and the potential00:48:12
of Christian Cage joining the main event00:48:14
Mafia and the crowd here in Orlando what00:48:17
an incredible capacity crowd we have a00:48:20
turning point without question the00:48:22
largest crowd that we've ever had Don00:48:24
for an event here in Orlando Florida00:48:26
They are packed to the Raptors well they00:48:28
know how important this night is I mean00:48:30
they can feel it they they can feel00:48:31
things changing here in TNA and and they00:48:34
want to be a part of this because it's00:48:36
just such an important night I mean00:48:38
every charmell dressed to the nines I00:48:40
mean you got to admit she knows how to00:48:41
show up for a party that's for sure yeah00:48:43
like everybody else in the main event00:48:45
Mafia you got that right Sally00:48:47
resplendent Whoa man nice spine Buster00:48:51
there one two not enough on Christian00:48:53
Cage yet good power move by Booker00:48:56
caught Christian momentarily unaware he00:48:59
tries to get back out to the apron to00:49:00
get away from the offense but Booker's00:49:03
right on him and how about that snapping00:49:05
the neck and the wind pipe at the same00:49:07
time right across that top steel cable00:49:09
oh that's what makes him so great00:49:11
knowing you know where he's at at all00:49:13
times in the ring and and just seeing00:49:14
that opportunity saw Christian's neck00:49:16
there and just just used it snap the00:49:18
neck back Christian on the other hand00:49:19
gets to his feet forces Booker T to00:49:21
follow him out and takes his shots when00:49:23
he's ready but now Booker to putting00:49:26
that foot right in the chest you can00:49:27
already see the effect of the moves from00:49:29
Booker with the discoloration on both00:49:31
the the chest of Christian as well as00:49:34
the back and that time he just got00:49:36
catapulted face first right into the00:49:38
unforgiving steel ring post and referee00:49:41
checking on his condition doesn't look00:49:43
good well we saw earlier tonight when00:49:44
homicide did that Tope kilo and hit the00:49:47
rail and went into the wall and he ended00:49:49
up getting himself taken out of the00:49:50
match I think the referee wanted to00:49:52
check because that was a shot that00:49:54
Christian Cage took on that steel ring00:49:56
post and man Booker T just measuring him00:49:59
and just putting him on point you see00:50:01
that the hand print of Booker T right00:50:04
across the chest of the instant classic00:50:06
and you can just sense the level of00:50:08
confidence rising in Booker as he makes00:50:11
his way back in and he's got Christian00:50:14
Cage in his sights super kick to the jaw00:50:17
you could just sense Christian Cage with00:50:19
wobbly he wasn't going to be able to get00:50:20
out of the way Booker te knew it felt it00:50:23
and just put that kick on Christian k00:50:25
now it's got to fight oh close that time00:50:28
a little bit00:50:32
closer still gas left in the tank of00:50:35
Christian while Booker tries to continue00:50:37
the wear down cities from all over the00:50:41
United State cities from all over the00:50:43
world buying to host upcoming TNA00:50:46
paypereview events and we've just00:50:48
received word that our Genesis00:50:50
pay-per-view in the month of January00:50:53

Carolina all the details on Genesis in00:50:59
Charlotte at our website tnar00:51:01
wrestling.com that's a big announcement00:51:03
and that's a big shot right that time by00:51:05
Booker here's pin one two oh man getting00:51:09
a little bit closer each time that time00:51:12
Christian Christian Cage is hurt that00:51:14
steel ring poke shot he's not been the00:51:16
same since he is hurt and right now he's00:51:19
just surviving on Instinct Mike and00:51:21
Booker keos boy beautiful closeup look00:51:24
at the key lock applied by Booker here00:51:27
you see him reaching through with his00:51:29
one hand making contact with his own00:51:31
wrist and Christian going to try and get00:51:33
back up to his feet and does and this00:51:35
enables him to use the right hand with00:51:38
the rib cage of Booker exposed but then00:51:40
Booker catches him with the knee oh00:51:42
those long legs he can send that knee so00:51:44
high up on the body most people wouldn't00:51:46
have a chance that oh that's what you do00:51:48
though Christian cake saw it one two not00:51:51
quite enough as looker he kind of00:51:52
stunned there he just had everything00:51:54
going his way but that's what makes the00:51:56
great ones you've got it to be able to00:51:58
take advantage and or even take a00:52:00
shortcut like Booker did boy speaking of00:52:02
stun you can see the Christian's wobbly00:52:04
from the several minutes of offense by00:52:06
Booker but he's still00:52:09
able to avoid that kick concern on the00:52:12
face of charmal and now it's Christian's00:52:14
turn to fight back well he Crotched00:52:17
Booker T there on that top rope but now00:52:19
look at these blows he's got a little00:52:20
extra oomp in him too as he feels it the00:52:23
E kind of swaying back in his favor is00:52:25
shot after shot on the head of Booker00:52:28
T Booker with the reversal Christian00:52:31
back first into the00:52:33
corner Christian catches him uncoils now00:52:36
goes over the top Leap Frogs on Booker00:52:38
and a wobbly Booker that time caught by00:52:40
the big forearm00:52:43
shot another pin another nearfall for00:52:45
the instant classic he thought he might00:52:47
have had a shot after that cork sco00:52:49
elbow coming off but now Christian Cage00:52:52
he's on his feet he's doing what he00:52:53
wants as Booker T trying to get a get a00:52:56
grip at where he is the ring going for00:52:58
that unprettier not quite enough we00:53:00
talked about how they know to counter00:53:02
but look at this tying those legs up00:53:05
took him down with a double leg and then00:53:07
I think he was going to try and turn him00:53:08
over in a submission move but you saw00:53:10
Booker rap the eyes again just something00:53:13
so simple like that just poking the eyes00:53:16
and just stopping that that forward00:53:18
motion that you got and now using those00:53:20
long knees again just putting them high00:53:22
up into the rib cage and oh but this00:53:24
time chrisy cage able to duck that spin00:53:27
kick and another time he's able to duck00:53:29
it and then put him on the back of his00:53:31
head with that inverted D two00:53:37
no Christian Cage just that close to00:53:40
becoming the TNA Legends champion caught00:53:43
him with the inverted DDT but not enough00:53:45
charmell pops up on the00:53:48
apron as Christian goes to the top and00:53:50
that enables Booker to come across uhoh00:53:53
dropped him down and Crotched him right00:53:54
across the Ste oh man you can just see00:53:57
the pain in his face and you know what00:53:58
that's what charmell does she does so00:54:01
well just a fraction of a second gave00:54:03
Booker T enough time and now look at00:54:05
this it's Booker T he's got his both00:54:07
feet on the top rope oh what a superlex00:54:11
that00:54:12
is big Power move off the top Booker00:54:15
going to drape the arm Christian00:54:18
down Christian Cage well that overhead00:54:21
camera shot you could just see the eyes00:54:23
of of Christian00:54:25
rolling in the back of his head but the00:54:27
true Pro that he is hearing the Cadence00:54:30
of the count and just when it reached00:54:32
two he knew that he had to dig down deep00:54:35
and kick out and that's what he did but00:54:37
Booker may be getting ready for a little00:54:39
spin aoon action well he he just feels00:54:41
it it's it's what motivates him look at00:54:43
that look at his eye now you can see it00:54:45
you can feel it Christian realizes he's00:54:47
trying to fight out but Booker trying to00:54:50
get a better hold here can he get that00:54:51
Full Nelson no now he's trying something00:54:54
else00:54:56
perfect reversal Christian takes him00:54:58
right down right into a pin well he00:55:01
almost just got that one his Booker T00:55:03
found himself looking up at the ceiling00:55:05
and and the way that that Christian had00:55:06
his legs placed I was afraid the booker00:55:08
I mean wasn't going to get those00:55:09
shoulders up in00:55:13
time Christian mocking Booker drops down00:55:17
to a00:55:18
knee and as Booker comes at him he just00:55:21
takes him and flings him right over the00:55:23
top Booker didn't go all the way to the00:55:25
floor landed on the apron outside in00:55:28
with the shoulder block and there's an00:55:29
axe kick that caught Christian right in00:55:32
the back of the head and boy he just00:55:33
went down like a big oak tree well it00:55:35
just had a double effect it catches you00:55:37
on the back of the head and it puts the00:55:38
neck right there on the Rope one two oh00:55:42
man was that00:55:44
close was that close again you sense the00:55:47
reaction time of Christian Cage the only00:55:50
thing that's keeping him alive in this00:55:51
match as Booker has had him but what00:55:54
appears to be down out another double00:55:56
leg and again he's going to try and go00:55:58
here and turn him over Sharpshooter00:56:00
style but Booker have enough yeah Booker00:56:03
not so easily turned is he now look at00:56:06
what he does he's turned it around now00:56:08
can he apply a pressure just just force00:56:10
that butt right down there and sit on00:56:13
him and you can see Booker realize that00:56:15
he's out in the middle of the ring and00:56:16
he's trying to itch himself over to the00:56:18
Roop that's the key for Booker at this00:56:20
point and just as he makes a couple of00:56:22
inches closer to the ropes Christian00:56:24
pulls him right back00:56:26
out oh charmell that's one of those00:56:29
times where Christy K shouldn't have let00:56:31
up charmell went over distracting the00:56:33
referee screaming at him and he let00:56:36
himself get taken by it and got up and00:56:38
he oh walked right over there to the00:56:40
slap by charmell all that's doing is00:56:43
allowing Booker T to recover Oh I00:56:46
thought he was going to nail her Booker00:56:48
puts on the brakes just before the00:56:50
contact but then gets taken right down00:56:52
here we go one two oh this time it was00:56:56
close the other way as Booker T almost00:57:00
cost himself and charmell actually00:57:02
almost cost Booker that time I think00:57:04
everybody sense that we were going to00:57:05
have a new Legends champ that Booker was00:57:07
going to be defeated in his first title00:57:09
defense but that's not the case could it00:57:11
be un prettier time a every time though00:57:13
Booker's ready to push him off it's one00:57:15
of those you don't have it locked in00:57:17
right but he misses the ax kick and00:57:19
again look at this he's got enough00:57:20
pressure no he rolls it right over got00:57:23
it00:57:26
here is your winner and still TNA00:57:29
Legends champion00:57:32
[Music]00:57:35
B that pin doubly impactful because yes00:57:40
not only does Booker00:57:43
retain his Legends Championship but00:57:47
think of the future of Christian Cage00:57:50
think of the future of the main event00:57:52
Mafia well he's been somebody that is00:57:54
has not made a decision not picking a00:57:56
side and Booker T has forced the issue00:58:00
another world champion you see00:58:03
Christian you00:58:06
see I didn't want to hurt00:58:09
you you know00:58:11
why because right00:58:14
now00:58:16

kanage ladies and gentlemen the next00:59:10
match at TNA sacrifice is an unquit00:59:13
match for the TNA Legends Championship00:59:16
introducing first the Challenger00:59:18
representing the main event Mafia from00:59:20
Houston Texas book team00:59:27
[Music]00:59:29
I tell you what ever since that $00:59:31
237,000 Legends belt has left his00:59:35
possession he's never stopped thinking I00:59:37
think of anything else it's a it's a00:59:40
trophy that he loves to carry around it00:59:42
signifies what he's done in this00:59:43
business Mike T it's a belt that he00:59:46
created yes but it's a belt that means00:59:49
something to him and obviously it means00:59:50
something to a lot of people it's Bel00:59:52
that a lot of people want to hold and00:59:53
claim that they're Legend in this00:59:55
business and you know no matter what AJ00:59:57
throws at him Booker T will not say I01:00:01
quit until it's at the point of01:00:07
[Applause]01:00:11
death his opponent from Gainesville01:00:14
Georgia he is the TNA Legends champion01:00:17
the phenomenal01:00:21
ha01:00:23
St01:00:25
[Applause]01:00:28
during the Legends list we talked about01:00:30
how this championship belt yes it was01:00:33
brought into TNA by Booker T has that01:00:35
personal tribute to himself but what we01:00:38
have seen from AJ01:00:40
Styles ever since this series of matches01:00:43
that he's had with Booker that01:00:44
culminated with him becoming Legends01:00:46
champion to me it has been the01:00:48
maturation process the maturing of one01:00:51
phenomenal AJ Styles that is brought01:00:53
into this level I mean we all will admit01:00:55
he's a superstar in fact some of us may01:00:58
say he's the best in wrestling today01:01:02
from a on a physical standpoint an01:01:04
agility01:01:05
standpoint but I tell you what there are01:01:07
Milestones you got across in this01:01:09
business and tonight if he can force a01:01:13
great Legend like Booker T to say I quit01:01:16
well then that's going to take AJ Styles01:01:18
to another Stratosphere that's going to01:01:20
put him up there with the stings and the01:01:23
booker tees and the Scot sers and the01:01:25
nashes and the Kurt Angles it really is01:01:28
that I think is why it's so important01:01:30
for both these guys but if Booker team01:01:33
can force AJ Styles to say I've had01:01:36
enough I don't want any more then that01:01:38
shows you where that belt really and01:01:41
truly belongs today in the process of01:01:44
becoming Legends champion AJ Styles01:01:47
became the first ever TNA Grand Slam01:01:51
Champion that means he's held four title01:01:54
belts the ex division the world tag team01:01:57
the World Heavyweight Championship belt01:01:59
and now obviously the Legends title and01:02:02
as I watched Booker T come down the01:02:05
entrance ramp saw a more serious side of01:02:07
him and I also noticed that conspicuous01:02:10
by her absence his wife charmell and I'm01:02:14
just trying to put two and two together01:02:15
here I think this may be a case where01:02:18
Booker realizes that this match could be01:02:21
so violent because of the I quit rules01:02:23
that he didn't want charmell at ringside01:02:25
I think that's a great Point Mike and it01:02:27
might be that it also might be that he01:02:28
doesn't want any distractions whatsoever01:02:30
he doesn't want to look out there and01:02:32
see her and make it force him to make a01:02:34
decision Maybe by looking into the eyes01:02:36
of your wife you think about the things01:02:38
that you have together so you say I quit01:02:39
to keep that on in his case he doesn't01:02:42
even want that to be a factor he wants01:02:44
it to be all about the two of them right01:02:47
here Booker T knows it's a mental game01:02:49
he knows that it is a game you have got01:02:52
to beat the guy mentally01:02:54
and I believe with the experience that01:02:56
he's has he's got a big Edge in that01:02:58
factor you'll notice as well that01:03:00
referee Rudy Charles the Third Man in01:03:02
the ring has possession of the01:03:03
microphone you might have seen it01:03:04
recently on impact Booker had the iquit01:03:07
rules match against the outlaw jro01:03:09
holiday and that microphone will come01:03:11
into play at that point of the match01:03:13
when you feel that you have worn down01:03:15
your opponent sufficiently to the point01:03:17
where you think that he's going to utter01:03:19
those two words I quit as AJ just caught01:03:22
Booker with a nice kick to the back hell01:03:24
no man oh not yet there's no way in hell01:03:28
going to quit at this situation but I01:03:30
I'll tell you this I believe that you01:03:33
have to have a a street mentality in a01:03:35
situation like this Mike you have to01:03:36
have almost a gang or even a a thug01:03:39
mentality it's got to be like living on01:03:40
the street to where it's it's a life or01:03:42
death situation you got to get your mind01:03:44
in that frame you can't allow it to be01:03:47
about pain you can't allow it to be01:03:49
about about your future you've got to be01:03:51
at a point of it's either him or me end01:03:53
of story and I believe that's where01:03:55
Booker T is going to have a huge Edge01:03:57
you have to reach that point where where01:03:58
you're just able to to not only fight01:04:00
through it but just completely shut off01:04:03
that pain if you're going to succeed in01:04:04
a match with I quit rules and all of a01:04:07
sudden that opening early flurry by The01:04:10
Champ AJ Styles that's been countered01:04:12
and that's been completely turned around01:04:14
by the Challenger Booker T I'll tell you01:04:16
another factor in this thing Mike is01:04:18
that Booker T in his mind feels that AJ01:04:20
stole something from him he feels that01:04:22
AJ's in possession of his possessions01:04:25
and it's not just a matter of wanting to01:04:27
get damage it's a matter of wanting to01:04:28
get that back and you'll do anything at01:04:30
all cost but AJ Styles shows us why he's01:04:32
so great it doesn't matter the size of01:04:35
the other opponent this guy's got heart01:04:37
I mean well you can't deny it and01:04:38
anybody would be stupid to deny it he's01:04:40
a special special athlete drags Booker01:04:44
back out towards the middle of the ring01:04:47
and now he's going to apply a variation01:04:49
of the Indian de lock let's see if he01:04:50
Bridges back and and comes back with a01:04:52
chin lock as well and we 've seen this01:04:54
move from AJ Styles throughout his TNA01:04:57
career it's one we may not have seen as01:04:59
of late and Booker's not going to submit01:05:02
he's not going to say I quit at this01:05:04
point no Booker just knocked that mic01:05:06
away like it was a fly in his face I01:05:08
mean it's a situation though you got to01:05:09
respect AJ what he's doing he knows that01:05:11
it's that kind of excruciating pain01:05:13
that's going to work it's not punches01:05:15
and kicks in the end it's it's a matter01:05:16
of knowing that if you don't say01:05:18
something you're going to have a bone01:05:19
broke you're going to be be paralyzed01:05:21
you're going to be physically unable to01:05:23
to continue on in your life that's01:05:25
what's going to make one of these guys01:05:26
say I quit it's all a part of that wear01:05:28
down process that just comes naturally01:05:30
in a match with I quit rules AJ's had a01:05:33
game plan coming in here and we've seen01:05:35
it unfold especially in the last couple01:05:37
of minutes he wants to work on the leg01:05:39
he wants to work on the knee of Booker T01:05:42
weaken him sufficiently to the point01:05:44
where you take away you take away the01:05:46
legs of Booker T and then you've got him01:05:48
down on the mat and then you can beat01:05:49
him in an eye Quit match well the thing01:05:51
about it is is is Booker T though has01:05:53
such a h huge huge Advantage with those01:05:56
legs and the length that they can bring01:05:57
him and so yeah I can see what you're01:05:59
saying about AJ Styles wanting to take01:06:01
them out I mean that's that's a game at01:06:03
the same time you also limit what Booker01:06:06
is able to do with that ax kick if you01:06:08
take the legs away that's a that's a01:06:10
good for though still too early for01:06:14
Booker to say I quit although pretty01:06:16
obvious that he's favoring the left leg01:06:17
and the left knee I'll tell you what01:06:19
though it's just so early this match01:06:21
just started it it's a matter of two it01:06:23
doesn't hurt I don't think it hurts you01:06:24
somewhat to get a little bit of a pain01:06:26
going your way to where you start01:06:28
getting your mind set on dealing with it01:06:30
you know what I mean Mike I mean you you01:06:31
realize that that you're going to be01:06:33
feeling it throughout the match so you01:06:34
get yourself comfortable with it so to01:06:36
speak and not that you can never be01:06:37
comfortable being in pain but you can01:06:39
get yourself mentally able to deal with01:06:42
it and that's what you've got to have01:06:43
here it's what we talked about earlier01:06:45
in terms of being able to just shut out01:06:47
that pain and you realize when you get01:06:49
into a match like this with these two01:06:51
world class athletes competing in an01:06:53
iquit match it's going to be a war of01:06:55
attrition it's going to be that wear01:06:57
down process until you reach that one01:06:59
point where you just can't take it01:07:02
anymore right now it's hard to tell if01:07:04
anyone here has really had an advantage01:07:06
slightly AJ I would say and a well01:07:09
that's just the way you're looking at it01:07:10
though to me that's also what I've seen01:07:12
in terms of the offense that he's01:07:13
Unleashed and how Booker's been on the01:07:15
defensive for probably about 70% of his01:07:17
match see my opinion is that Booker's01:07:19
taking everything that AJ gives he's01:07:21
taking everything right now he's he's I01:07:24
think you can tell by his Expressions01:07:25
he's trying to give AJ a feeling of01:07:27
confidence and that's the key that's the01:07:29
experience Factor when Booker T gets a01:07:31
chance he's going to turn it on turn it01:07:32
around and AJ is going to be caught01:07:34
unaware yeah we saw that earlier from01:07:35
Kevin Nash we saw that earlier from01:07:37
Kevin Nash how'd that work out for01:07:39
you well that was just a situation where01:07:42
he caught well see what I mean well that01:07:45
get that was the experience oh what shot01:07:48
to the rail that's the kind of thing01:07:50
Mike that can just absolutely01:07:52
discombobulate you to the point where01:07:54
you don't even know what you're doing01:07:55
look at this he's trying to catch his01:07:56
breath and hit him in the neck he can't01:07:58
breathe I got to admit I haven't seen01:08:00
many matches turn around just like that01:08:02
and that's exactly what we have seen as01:08:04
Booker tries to clear away the crowd01:08:06
right at the guard rail area right in01:08:08
the pit oh AJ taken high up into the air01:08:12
and he drops him down chest and throat01:08:16
first you can see here this might be I01:08:18
don't even you know what he might have01:08:19
been trying to say I quit he just01:08:20
couldn't get his breath he dropped him01:08:22
right on the Wind pip that's right01:08:24
that's I me I think it's where the ref01:08:25
should step in and just say okay that's01:08:27
[Music]01:08:30
it and yes the the complexion the tone01:08:33
of this match has completely turned it's01:08:36
flipped a full 180 here AJ was there and01:08:39
AJ was gaining confidence and maybe it01:08:42
was that point where Booker was just01:08:44
bringing bringing him into the web and I01:08:47
heard that exact same scenario just a01:08:49
few seconds ago can't remember who said01:08:52
it oh yeah I did top wrist lock applied01:08:56
by Booker and he just steps back and01:09:00
Rams the knee with impact and with01:09:03
authority I tell you what he's just01:09:06
approaching this thing so methodical01:09:08
just he's got a purpose with everything01:09:09
he's doing now I mean he he's feeling it01:09:12
Mike and he knows AJ's hurt he knows01:09:14
that wind Pip's hurt he knows AJ's01:09:16
having a hard time getting his breath01:09:18
and now look at him he's just in his01:09:20
mind he's going through things look at01:09:21
AJ's eyes he they're glazed over they01:09:26
AJ's back in Gainesville Georgia right01:09:28
now and01:09:29
AJ fell backwards right there at that01:09:32
point just using the ring ropes and01:09:34
let's see what he01:09:37
says he's not able to say I quit because01:09:39
he's being throttled being choked by01:09:42
Booker01:09:43
T no you're right he he couldn't get the01:09:45
words out if he tried it's it's this is01:09:47
a great opportunity here for Booker to01:09:49
to just keep inflicting the damage and01:09:52
again in his mind he's just taking it to01:09:54
a thief and oh man AJ Styles I am just01:09:57
so impressed with how Booker was able to01:09:59
fight through all of the damage that was01:10:01
done to his legs and knees in the01:10:03
opening minutes of this match and then01:10:05
to come back turn it around on01:10:09
AJ say it AJ just do it for yourself you01:10:12
can live to fight another day do it for01:10:14
your family you got children you got01:10:15
another one on the way got to think of01:10:18
that even to the point where Booker T is01:10:20
using his legs and his knees as probably01:10:23
his primary weapon here against Styles01:10:25
you know he he's got that ability and01:10:27
you mentioned it earlier Mike and it was01:10:28
a good point about that ax kick with01:10:30
those long legs and how he uses it to01:10:32
where he can catch your head in the01:10:34
wrong spot you might have it over the01:10:35
ropes he'll bring that kick on your back01:10:37
and it'll it'll have a double effect01:10:39
which he did right there just a few01:10:40
minutes ago and right now Booker T's01:10:42
just using all that experience and all01:10:44
that size advantage to his Advantage01:10:47
Styles who was staggering and stumbling01:10:50
outside it's you see some desperation01:10:52
punches go to to the well one shot deal01:10:55
and AJ gets cut off with a flying01:10:57
forearm shot by Booker that was money01:10:59
here he goes01:11:02
sp you know it's just two words Mike all01:11:04
you got to do is say them it's just two01:11:06

up to his shoulders and driving him down01:12:04
to the mat and still able to hang on you01:12:07

full-fledged Hammer lock on Booker01:12:28
Booker got his foot on the ropes he's01:12:30
got his foot on the ropes there we go01:12:32
goodness gracious you can see just look01:12:35
at the reaction of AJ Styles just how01:12:38
much trouble and how much pain that that01:12:40
he is in at this point and just favoring01:12:42
the arm that's almost just hanging and01:12:44
dangling just limping you could just see01:12:46
the punch thrown by AJ Mike it didn't01:12:48
have anything in it it it really didn't01:12:50
he's just I I I don't know if he's got01:12:52
feeling in his arms I mean just what01:12:54
look at what Booker's doing now Booker's01:12:56
just trying to embarrass him here a01:12:58
little01:13:00
bit it's all Instinct at this01:13:03
point the mid- ring exchange we're going01:13:06
to see who gets the better of it between01:13:08
these two in this Legends title match01:13:10
wow what looks like Booker's punches01:13:12
have more zip behind them more impct01:13:14
tell I'll tell you what though AJ still01:13:15
keeps throwing them you got to give him01:13:17
credit he that would have some01:13:20
zip oh there just F this is holy01:13:27
crap oh look at that AJ's wobbly whoa he01:13:31
wound up and shot him oh man I tell you01:13:33
what it's these guys both I mean you can01:13:36
tell what it means to them but look at01:13:38
Booker uh-oh there's the pay by Styles C01:13:41
Booker completely unaware he never saw01:13:45
that one coming no it's the great01:13:46
equalizer it always is you never see it01:13:48
coming and he does it in in unbelievable01:13:51
spots it's it's amazing how he knows01:13:53
when to hit it Mike we marveled at it so01:13:55
many times I I can't tell you the times01:13:57
I'm screamed it out loud it's it's such01:14:00
an impactful move but the bottom line is01:14:02
is AJ so wore out he can't take01:14:04
advantage of01:14:07
it both champion and Challenger down on01:14:10
the canvas down on the mat AJ the first01:14:13
to show some signs of Life some signs of01:14:16
movement as he goes to the01:14:19
Mount look like hurting his arm even01:14:21
when he hits his head couple of right01:14:23
handle after everything that he went01:14:25
through and he says ask him three01:14:27
punches and Booker says no you got to be01:14:30
a little careful you're knock him out he01:14:31
can't say I01:14:35
quit and you can see that these two just01:14:38
judging no man just judging from what01:14:41
we've witnessed I mean they're really01:14:43
they're just beating the hell out of01:14:44
each other they're exhausting each other01:14:46
you got to kill one of them I mean01:14:47
that's that's why I said it's to the01:14:49
point of no other choice that anyone's01:14:51
even going to say it and I'll beon01:14:53
honest with you I don't think Booker01:14:54
would ever say it I really don't I think01:14:56
he'd rather die than say I quit the AJ01:14:58
Styles great spine Buster think about01:15:01
how he got that one he wasn't even on01:15:03
his feet he was able to do it absolute01:15:05
desperation move but it pays off by01:15:07
Booker with the spine Buster he's got AJ01:15:11
now it's his turn this is the experience01:15:14
Edge turn about fair play as we saw01:15:15
styles from the mound earlier with the01:15:17
right hands and now it's Booker and he's01:15:19
he's putting him right on the point of01:15:21
the jaw good call fight what' he say I01:15:25
quit no guess not but I tell you what01:15:28
you made a great point about hitting him01:15:29
in the jaw the bottom line is is you01:15:33
can't knock him out that way hit him in01:15:34
the head and he won't you know the force01:15:36
is different but hit him in the jaw01:15:39
you're able to still keep him conscious01:15:41
but still he's able to to claim he can't01:15:42
go any longer Booker misses the kick01:15:44
gets Crotched on the top and look how01:15:46
quickly a is able to take advantage of01:15:48
that01:15:49
situation I'll tell you about where that01:15:51
bur come from that was Unreal it was a01:15:53
what's exactly what it was it was a01:15:55
burst it wasn't anything sustained where01:15:57
he can keep that kind of offense going01:15:59
as Booker regroups outside I mean the01:16:01
guy will a make look at this01:16:04
just slingshot move by Styles directly01:16:07
into the cross body block as it comes01:16:09
down on Booker outside leaving01:16:11
everything out there out there on the01:16:12
mat on the floor in the ring Booker01:16:14
though no not even a hesitation he's01:16:16
taking shots like that before but I'll01:16:19
tell you what both these guys given a01:16:21
Herculean effort this is unreal01:16:25
and Booker the perfectly placed fingers01:16:27
in the eyes of AJ has him momentarily01:16:31
fighting for his vision and blinded01:16:33
takes him and sends him up against that01:16:35
the apron and that AJ is able to move01:16:36
out of the way or just drop down Booker01:16:38
hits the steel post and there goes01:16:39
Booker head01:16:41
first Booker caught himself in the wrong01:16:44
place there and when he caught that arm01:16:45
on the pole AJ took advantage of it01:16:48
right away slammed his head into the01:16:50
steel ring01:16:51
post Booker rolled back in Charles with01:16:55
the microphone and you hear Booker say01:16:57
no way tell you what he makes it clear01:17:00
you got to give him credit for that it's01:17:02
not a AJ surveys things from outside at01:17:05
the same time as Booker's wife01:17:08
charmell what's she saying Mike she01:17:10
coming down to01:17:12
ringside what's she01:17:15

she is Buddy she's in your corner I know01:17:33
it's tough as AJ went for the Styles01:17:36
Clash he was distracted as charmell came01:17:38
up on the apron and that Booker had no01:17:40
idea and he almost ran into his wife he01:17:42
puts on the brakes but as he turns01:17:44
around AJ's ready for him a flying armar01:17:46
flying armar applied by01:17:50
