Episode 1 : One Promotion Divided By X
Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Thursday, July 28th, 2011
Dixie Carter opens the show standing in the middle of the ring with Christopher Daniels (in suit and tie) & X Division Champion, Brian Kendrick. She addresses the audience, “ The X Division has been a part of this company since its inception and it’s attraction has always been its originality and the wrestlers ability to adapt. Today, I’m going to put the focus back on the X Division by assigning the first ever “Director of Authority” specifically for the X Division and that man is… Christopher Daniels.
Christopher Daniels, "It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits”. This was the slogan that Impact Wrestling used to describe this unique division and with that being said, moving forward there will be no limitations to where I will take the X Division in the future. Our first major announcement, on August 7th, 2011 at the HARDC0RE JUSTICE ppv, Brian Kendrick will defend the X Division Championship in a rematch against ABYSS. Why is this a major announcement? Because - this match - will be the MAIN EVENT of the pay per view. Our match is taking TOP BILLING over the Impact World Title Match, Sting vs Kurt Angle. How’s that for NO LIMITS?!!! In addition, to make sure Immortal doesn’t interfere, Hulk Hogan will be dog collared and chained to the ringside guardrail.
Eric Bischoff w/ Hulk Hogan & Abyss come down to the ring. Bischoff asks Dixie Carter is she’s crazy? Bischoff said he’s got the X Division under control, why would she hire “him” as Director of Authority? Dixie responds that with Abyss recently trying to destroy the X Division and your association with Abyss, there appears to be a conflict of interest. I’m doing what’s best for the company. Hogan is steamed that he’s being forced to wear a dog collar at the event. Hogan tells everyone, Abyss is going to hurt that little boy (pointing at Brian Kendrick) and when I’m out of that dog collar when the match is over… there is going to be some serious he11 to pay.

Alex Shelley vs Austin Aries - X Division Match
Christopher Daniels still at ringside joins Mike Teney & Taz at the announce booth. Brian Kendrick also still at ringside sits down by himself and drapes the X Division title belt over his shoulder, he obverses the match closely. The announcers discuss Alex Shelley’s victory at Destination X and how last week Austin Aries screwed Shelley out of his championship match against Brian Kendrick. Christopher Daniels talks more about his role as the X Division’s Director of Authority.
Shelley and Aries are told to tear the house down and go a full 20 minute time limit with lots of near falls at the end. After the bell rings and the match is announced a time limit draw, Alex Shelley grabs the mic and looks over at Christopher Daniels, and says two words – No Limits! Christopher Daniels gets up and enters the ring to answer Alex Shelley’s statement. Daniels replies, You’re right! I’m going to do something that’s never been done before. At HARDC0RE JUSTICE, Sting vs Angle has a 60 minute time limit. Kendrick vs Abyss has a 60 minute time limit. What would you say about Shelley vs Aries for HARDC0RE JUSTICE in a match with a 61 minute time limit. You both have more time than ANYONE else on that pay per view. Shelley & Aries agree to those terms.

Rob Van Dam vs Gunner - Bound for Glory Match.
No sooner does that match get underway… and Mexican America (Hernandez & Anarquia) w/ Sarita & Rosita hit the ring. Hernandez & Anarquia beat down both RVD & Gunner and dump them out of the ring. Hernandez & Anarquia share the mic and speak on the Jeff Jarrett video. It a disgrace that a country white boy like Jarrett is the AAA champion of Mexico. They warn Jarrett to give the AAA title back to the people of Mexico or him and his pretty wife are gonna get violated.
At this point, RVD and Gunner enter the ring with folding chairs. Mexican America sees this and they make a quick exit. Now, the match is about to get restarted as RVD and Gunner standoff both holding chairs in the middle of the ring. The referee is able to “talk” the chairs away from both wrestlers. Gunner gets the early advantage overpowering RVD, but in the end its RVD winning the match via Frogsplash!
