TNA Genesis Opener:

We get a video hyping the main feuds heading into tonight’s event, as well as Hulk Hogan’s return to PPV.

The pyro hits and Mike Tenay welcomes us to the first PPV of the Hogan/Bischoff era. Hogan’s music hits and he’s on his way down to the ring with Eric Bischoff.

In the Arena:

The Impact Zone looks packed and there is a traditional four-sided ring with a raised ramp leading to it. Hogan soaks up the cheers for a bit before welcoming the fans to the PPV. Hogan says on top of that, welcome to the brand new Impact Zone (which gets a lot of boos). Hogan says this is just the beginning as the crowd starts a ‘we want six sides’ chant.

Hogan says six sides only got TNA so far, and they’re taking them the rest of the way. Hogan says there’s no more play-pen rings, and they’re changing it whether the fans like it or not. Hogan talks down Vince and the notion of ‘sports entertainment’. Bischoff says that nobody likes change, and it’s obvious by the reaction of the crowd. Bischoff says to get used to change because there’s a hell of a lot more coming. Hogan says, in closing, ‘What’chu gonna do Vince McMahon, now that TNA is coming for you’. Bischoff and Hogan exit the ring and head to the back.

Taz and Tenay get their chance to welcome us to the PPV, talking about how great the changes that Hogan and Bischoff are bringing. Tenay and Taz immediately begin talking about the Angle/Styles main event, before sending us down to the ring for the first match, the X Division Championship match.
