Makin' an iMPACT - Impact Wrestling recap for March 8, 2016

Dixie Carter is in the ring, with the locker room surrounding the ring. Tonight is the last time we will see Kurt Angle wrestle in TNA as he squares off against Lashley tonight. She introduces Angle one last time, and says she'll never forget the time he made his TNA debut, as well as what he's done for the company. Drew Galloway thanks Angle not only for their recent match but for all that he's done for the TNA locker room. Kurt says he came here ten years ago to find himself, and says he has become a better person. After he thanks everyone for everything, Lashley shows up. He says that today will be a rough day, but also a great experience for everyone here, and is happy to have faced the man who got him into the business. After thanking Angle, he says the only sad thing is that Angle isn't ready to wrestle him, as an attempt to get into Angle's head.

Eric Young retains the TNA King of the Mountain Championship against Bram, Jimmy Havoc, Big Damo and Will Ospreay.

We look back at Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe at Genesis 2006.

She also wants a leadership position in the Knockouts division, and asks Dixie to get his assistant a call. Dixie tells Maria she saw what happened last week between her and Gail Kim, and that she believes in actions rather than words. Maria is not impressed as Dixie walks away.

Maria Kanellis and "The Miracle" Mike Bennett are in the ring. Bennett says TNA needs him now more than ever, and that Kurt Angle ducked and cheap-shotted him on his way out the door. He then says the miracle here is that he will be named the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and that he will go on to win the World title and save pro wrestling. When he calls out Dixie Carter, however, he gets Drew Galloway, who calls him out on his entitlement complex, and tells him to stop running his mouth like a little bitch and earn his title shot. Bennett then says that he carries around the Feast or Fired briefcase like it was handed to him, then tells Drew to get Dixie for him. Galloway turns around as if to do that, then turns around and punches Bennett in the face. After a short brawl, Bennett retreats.

We look back at the King of the Mountain match from Slammiversary 2007.

The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) thank Kurt Angle personally backstage.

We see some Twitter videos where TNA fans thank Kurt Angle for everything he's done for TNA.

Mike Bennett meets up with Kurt Angle backstage, saying he could have wrestled him instead of Lashley in his last match. Angle tells Bennett he'll wish he never comes back, and makes it clear he can tear him up if he does.

Grado shows up, saying he has proof that he was screwed out of his job. Eli Drake and Jessie Godderz show up, and says he'll bash Eli Drake in the head with his Feast or Fired backstage so much it'll knock some sense into him. Jessie says they'll put him out of his misery so the TNA audience won't have to deal with him anymore. They go on the attack, and when Mahabali Shera shows up to help Grado out, Eli Drake hits Shera in the back with the briefcase. When he re-focuses on Grado, however, he accidentally hits Jessie Godders with his Feast or Fired briefcase when Grado ducks. Grado grabs the briefcase and takes Eli Drake down, then runs off with it.

We see a video tribute package to Kurt Angle.

Lashley beats Kurt Angle in Angle's final TNA match. Lashley and Angle show respect after the match, then Lashley attacks Angle. Drew Galloway and Eddie Edwards confront Lashley only to get Speared.

He then demands he play promoter and make a match between him and Jarrett for the King of the Mountain title, with every intention of taking the title as well as Jarrett's dignity and career. Jarrett says he doesn't work for him, and he damn sure doesn't work for EY. He says that the King of the Mountain is neither a GFW or a TNA title, and that the first-ever interpromotional King of the Mountain match is tonight. He gives EY a spot in it, then leaves.

James Storm, Manik and The Great Sanada show up. They call out Davey Richards, saying decision time is up. Davey Richards shows up along with Eddie Edwards, and before Eddie tells him it's not happening, Eddie Edwards takes the microphone and tells him he's not joining the Redneck Revolution. Not surprisingly, James Storm and his men attack them, and Storm has plans for Richards: he lassoes a rope around Richards' leg and Manik stands on it as Storm smashes the recently injured (and healed) knee of Richards until security shows up to stop them. After this, all three of them leave the ring only to return with the Feast or Fired Briefcase that Gunner gave Storm earlier this year back when they were still a team. He cashes it in, and as Storm does damage to The Wolves (Richards and Edwards), Abyss shows up. Storm then announces out of the blue that Abyss is the newest pledge to the Redneck Revolution, making it plain who Storm is winning the world tag team titles with it. After a choke slam and a Black Hole Slam on Eddie Edwards, Abyss lets James Storm tag in for the pinfall. James Storm and Abyss beat The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships! After the match, James Storm hits a second Eye of the Storm on Davey Richards.

Kenny King then calls Mr. Anderson his "role model" and says that role models are like Santa Claus because they don't really exist before punching Anderson in the face and running away.
