Impact Wrestling 6-6-13: Who Was Brooke Hogan Trying to Save?

On this edition of Impact Wrestling, there were two Bound For Glory Series Qualifying Matches. The first match was between tag team partners Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Shawn Hernandez with Hernandez coming out on top and earning the right to qualify. After the match, although Chavo seemed to show some frustration, he and Hernandez embraced in a display of sportsmanship. The second qualifying match was between Samoa Joe and Robbie E with Joe coming out on top and earning the right to qualify. Also, backstage, Velvet Sky and TNA Knockout Women’s Champion Mickie James had an encounter. Mickie came up with an excuse for not coming to Velvet’s aid the previous week on Impact Wrestling, as well as an excuse not to grant Velvet her rematch for the championship. After seeing all of that transpire, there is no doubt in my mind that Mickie has turned heel. She proved that even more in her match she had later on with fellow heel Taeler Hendrix when Mickie feigned a knee injury to get the victory. I am, quite frankly, shocked that Mickie would turn her back on her fans. Also, it was the TNA debut of current MMA fighter and TNA’s newest superstar Rampage Jackson, who ended up having a face-to-face encounter with soon-to-be TNA Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. Will we see these two come face-to-face again in the near future? Finally, after the non-title main event ladder match between TNA World Heavyweight Champion and President of The Aces & Eights Bully Ray and Jeff Hardy, which ended in a no contest, while Bully was stumbling backstage, General Manager and Bully’s estranged father-in-law Hulk Hogan was ready to strike Bully with a hammer; however, Knockouts Executive, Hulk’s daughter, and Bully’s estranged wife Brooke stopped Hulk from doing so to end the program. The question is: Was Brooke trying to save Bully from Hulk or was she trying to save Hulk from Hulk?
