Impact for 1/08/09
- X Title Semifinal Tournament- Alex Shelley defeated Eric Young. Sabin assisted Shelley with the win. Shane Sewell was the referee for the match. When he was heading up the ramp Sheik Abdul Bashir came out and slapped him and started to go at it with him. They brawled in the ring and Jim Cornette came in. Cornette told Sewell that if he warned him not to go at it with the wrestlers and even suspended and told him the next time he did he would have to fire him. Cornette tells Shane he is fired, to the amusement of Bashir. Cornette tells Bashir he knows this is what he wanted that's why he kept egging him on. He tells Shane he is fired, for 3 days. He will be back on the payroll with TNA starting Sunday as a wrestler and his first match will be at Genesis with Sheik Abdul Bashir.

- The Main Event Mafia come to the ring and Kurt Angle cuts a promo on Jeff Jarrett about their match at the pay per view. He says he shouldn't let BG James wrestle him tonight in the state of mind he is in cause he will hurt him. Sting takes the mic and says he didn't have any problems with Rhino until he decided to side with "them". Once Rhino started believing all the stuff they were saying then it got personal and for Rhino at Genesis it will be showtime. Nash grabs the mic and says they shouldn't wait till Genesis they should take out Foley and Jarrett tonight. Steiner says once Foley put his hands on them last week they won't be wrong for hurting him. Booker says they will get them tonight.

- Awesome Kong with Raisha Saeed, Rhaka Khan, and Sojourner Bolt defeated Alison Rain (I think). Squash match. Kong had a picture of Hemme with her.

- Matt Morgan defeated Robert Roode due to referee stoppage that Roode could not continue due to a knee injury he took when he got thrown over the top rope to the outside. Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed came on the ramp with the briefcase and made their way to the ring. Lethal said they would like to cash in their title shot now since Beer Money seems to be in perfect health.

- Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed defeated Beer Money to win the TNA Tag Team Titles. Storm, who wrestled in jeans worked most of the match. Pretty good match, Roode did wrestle some of the match. Finish saw Lethal hit Storm with the briefcase while the referee was trying to separate Creed and Jackie. Abyss and Morgan watched the match from the ramp.
