Rollie posted a challenge in the TNA Thread to book for Xplosion without using anyone involved in Immortal or an immortal angle, and also that you can not use current contenders for the TNA World title... So I've taken that challenge up but with a little bit of a twist... Here's my back story.
How it all went down:
Mick Foley, Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are gathered around a conference table.
Mick: Before we discuss the plans for next weeks Impact Wrestling program, I wanted to take a moment to inform you that we've welcomed back someone that you guys are all familiar with.
*Mick nods toward a the doorman*
He opens the door and in steps 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash.
Hogan is one of the first to stand to his feet and greet the guy, grabbing the big mans arm and pulling him in for a brief hug.
Hogan: Welcome back brother.
Bischoff rises and shakes Nash's hand.
Bischoff: Yes, it's good to have you back big man!
Russo simply nods at Nash.
Mick motions for Nash to have a seat. There's an empty seat next to Hogan and Bischoff but Nash makes his way to a seat next to Foley.
Bischoff: So Kev, what brings you back to TN.... No Impact Wrestling?
Nash: I had a discussion with Mick and he felt that I had some insight and ideas that might be worth sharing.
Mick: I know that Kevin has history with all three of you, and I know that it might seem a little foolhardy on my part being that this whole thing could blow up in my face, if say Nash here were to forget why he left TNA in the first place and join forces with "the boys" again.... It's a calculated risk on my part but, as Kevin said, without a doubt in my mind I believe he still has some knowledge to impart; both to the boys in the back as it pertains to their work in the ring and their work on the microphone, as well as to the over all direction of Impact Wrestling programming.
Hogan: You'll get no arguments from me. I've always held Big Sexy's knowledge of the business in high esteem.
Bischoff nods and smiles.
Russo: I don't mean to cut this little reunion short but I've got a lot do.. So if we can get down to business.
Mick: Alright then, Vince, where were we... Ah yes, you were telling us all about continuing your idea to squash the X-Division.
Nash: Excuse me? Squashing the X-Division?
Mick: Yes, Mr. Russo here has discovered the internet and has taken notice of the IWC's comments about how the X-Division has received no love since the arrival of certain folks sitting here in this room...
Nash: And..his response is to give the X-Division TV time, but to demolish them in the process? Oh yeah, that will go over.
Russo: The plan is two fold Kev, first we build Abyss up and turn him back into the monster that he should be. Second, we destroy the X-Division for the sake of rebuilding it.
Nash: If you hadn't forsaken it in the first place, there'd be no 'rebuilding' needed.
Russo smirks, and Bischoff shifts a little bit uncomfortably in his seat.
Russo: Just give it time, wait and see how the fans respond when one of the X-Division boys win their title back from Abyss.
Nash: You gave the X-Division title to Abyss? You're shittin' me?
Bischoff: It was pure genius!
Kevin chuckles
Mick: Let's move on to the knock out division. Vince?
Hogan: A pure waste of television time if you ask me.
Bischoff: Hulk we've talked about this before, sex sells. Not only do we have some of the hottest women in professional wrestling today but we also have some of the better performers.
Hogan: And you already know my stance on that Brother, there's only one performance that I've ever been interested in from women.
Russo: We can try to work that into future programming if you like Hulk.
*laughs from around the room*
Russo: We've already got a reincarnated Zombie lesbian angle going on right now where Winter has mind control over Angeline. We've got to bring this to a conclussion here in the near future. We've tossed some ideas around and we're leaning on having Velvet plant a nice kiss on Angelina to bring her to.
Kevin: A fairy tell ending, I don't like it...
Bischoff: I think it's a great idea, Kev, what don't you like about it?
Kevin: Dead horse... stick in hand.. Do you really believe that no one will see this coming? Hell, you might as well have an antidote on a pole match.
Russo raises an eyebrow. Kevin shakes his head.
Mick: We can discuss this further later, I've got a meeting with the Network shortly and we really need to move on to the Heavyweight Title storyline.. Vince?
Russo: If you missed it Kev, we recently had Disco Inferno on a Stinger Sit Down with Anderson dressed up as an old school Sting. The current plan is to have Sting lose the title to Anderson at the next pay per view and Anderson will beat Sting down after the match putting him on the shelf for quite some time. Disco Inferno will come to his aid and then begin feuding with Anderson for the title.
Kevin rolls his eyes.
Kevin: What the hell is that? Disco Inferno, really? Have you all been hit in the head with a stupid stick or something?
Bischoff: I don't know if I like your tone...
Hogan: What is your prob bro?
Nash stands up and paces
Kevin: This.... all of this.... sucks ass.
Bischoff: What, do you think you could do better?
Kevin: You bet your ass I could do better!
Bischoff: I wish you could prove it, I really do, but seeing that you aren't in charge here and don't have your own company to run I guess we'll never find out. So if you'll just sit your ass back down....
Mick: Hold on a second Eric... You're forgetting your place, you might think you are running the show but you don't do anything without the backing of the network, and need I remind you I represent the Network, therefore in this meeting I AM the Network. And I think I want to see what Kevin can do with all of those ideas running around inside his head.
Hogan leans toward Bischoff and whispers in his ear, Bischoff laughs his evil little laugh.
Bischoff: That's a great idea Hulk...Okay, we'll give him a shot, but here's the deal I don't want him involved in Immortal's business and I don't want him involved in the Heavyweight Title picture. Let him prove himself!
Mick: I can deal with that, what do you have in mind?
Bischoff: We have a show called Xplosion that we've been toying with asking the network for a seperate hour long broadcast on Wednesday night... Being that the Network is present in this room and wants to give Big Sexy a shot, how about giving him Xplosion he can use any superstar not involved in an Immortal angle and any superstar not currently in the Heavyweight Title picture. He can pick his own staff, announcing, interviewers etc. What do you say?
Mick: A second show, noone from Immortal, nor anyone currently feuding with Immortal and no Sting, RVD, nor Anderson?
Bischoff: Right... Do you two have the balls to take on this challenge?
Mick: Oh I've got the balls, and inspite of what Russo may think I'm sure Big Sexy's got the biggest set of balls in the room! You've got yourself a deal, I'll get you that seperate show for Xplosion.
