Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is upon us again with the TNA Impact recap. One of the top stories going into tonight's show is the angle that has currently started on Twitter at the beginning of the week. ECW Hardcore Legend, Tommy Dreamer, made comments toward
Dixie Carter, running Dixie down, due to Dixie not letting Bully Ray compete at Dreamer's House of Hardcore show this past weekend. Dreamer and Bully Ray told fans to harrass Dixie on Twitter about the whole ordeal. Bully even offered to pose for pictures with anyone who had a House of Hardcore ticket at TNA live events.
Dixie Carter went to Twitter herself and made the following announcement: “After the success of #Slammiversary, I want to address @TheTommyDreamer. You ran your mouth to your “horde of hardcore” fans and on Twitter, I’m inviting @THETOMMYDREAMER and his “horde of hardcores” to come to Bethlehem, PA for #ImpactLIVE this Thursday!“
Tommy Dreamer's response?: "Thanks for all your Tweets.See you Thursday @TNADixie @IMPACTWRESTLING @SpikeTV @HouseofHardcore LIVE HARDCORE PIPE BOMBS #RAW"
- Impact was live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The show kicked off with MVP calling out Eric Young because he felt what happened at Slammiversary was a travesty. Eric Young says he is still a champion to believe in. MVP and EY continue to verbally argue to the point where EY is ready to attack MVP. MVP accuses EY of being that type of guy to attack an injured man instead of fair competition. Kenny King demands a shot at EY. MVP approves as a referee heads to the ring and we have a TNA World Title Match to kick off Impact.
- TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Eric Young (c) vs Kenny King. Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and The Wolves come down to ringside during the match for support for EY, as MVP and Bobby Lashley are present. Match closes with King going for the "Royal Flush" but EY sneaks out and small packages King for the pinfall to retain the TNA World Title.
- MVP flips out after the match. MVP slaps the timekeeper, accusing him of ringing the bell early cause King kicked out at two. Joe, Aries and The Wolves brawl with Lashley and King until TNA officials run out to control the chaos. MVP says everyone accuses him of power abuse so that's what he'll do.

- Dixie Carter and Tommy Dreamer meet face to face in the ring. They discuss their Twitter war. Dreamer comments on the bad direction Dixie has taken the company, the family values of wrestling, how he and Dixie met and how Dixie should listen to the fans and do the right thing. Dixie looks like she's seen the light as she hugs Dreamer. Dixie fools everyone as she knees Dreamer in the family jewels and Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter III attack Dreamer.

- TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Wolves (c) vs Magnus and Bram. The match closes with Magnus and Bram attacking The Wolves with chairs until Jeff Hardy and Abyss make the save.
