Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Christian Cage opens the show in the ring, warning the crowd to stay quiet and respect their World Champion. He says he is Canada's greatest ever wrestler, and by far the best world champion in TNA history. Cage says by comparison, Josh Alexander is an embarrassment to Canada. Alexander comes out to cut Christian off, saying he still hasn't had an answer about his challenge, but if he is really as bad as Christian suggests then the world champion would have no issue facing him. Christian tells him he can have his answer after he faces Moose in the main event tonight.

All Matt Taven was trying to do was tie Drake's shoe, so he did not trip over his shoelace. He just could not do it in time and Drake in fact did trip over it.

He's a very misunderstood man, is Matt Taven. But he is thankful for Melvins like yourself, who support him, or at least that's what he told me

Impact
October - Week 1 - Year 2
Commentary: Excalibur and Taz

Christian makes his way to the ring to open the show, with Moose and Kevin Blackwood in tow. He tells the crowd Josh Alexander blatantly cheated to beat him at No Surrender, because everyone knows you cannot steal other people's moves! Christian says he's not angry with TNA management, just disappointed that they have not already resolved this issue, but he's a generous guy and he'll allow them to fix it now by making Josh Alexander come out here and apologise, and hand over the World Title. Josh Alexander does come to the ring, but instead of handing over the belt he says prior to No Surrender he was open about looking up to Christian, but now he sees the man he looked up to was simply a liar and a fraud. As Alexander goes to walk away, Christian tries to reason with him, telling him to imagine how incredible it would be for two Canadian heroes like them to main event the biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory. Alexander pauses for a second, then punches him square in the jaw. We go to a commercial as Alexander has Christian in an ankle lock in the middle of the ring.
