Impact 07/07/06

After Wednesday night's Xtremem Overload news, we didn't think it could get any bigger, but IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff was not satsified with simply having War Games, but brought back the famous Double Trouble match and announced that The Big Gee, Peter Turner, Abyss & Triple H would clash at XO.

Matthew Mercy also showed up but made it perfectly clear he wanted no part of The Undertaker, going so far as to leave the arena before the 'Taker could get his hands on him. He didn't reckon with the purple smoke coming from his car engine though and he ran off into the night on foot.

In the main event of the evening, Kurt Angle pinned James Storm of AMW in an exciting match, which cuilminated in all eight men involved in War Games becoming involved in a heated brawl.

In other matches, Melina advanced to the final of the Womens #1 Contender Tournament by defeating Christy Hemme, and she will meet Krissy Vaine on next week's Warfare for the right to meet champion Alexis Laree at XO. European Champion Paul Wardle went to a no-contest with Lance Storm when Rob Van Dam and Carlito got involved and Samoa Joe battered his way to a brutal victory over William Regal. Matt Morgan defeated Rhino and Joey Mercury of MNM defeated Colt Cabanaof the Second City Saints.
