Welcome to The LAW’s coverage of TNA Final Resolution from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida.

The opening video is brought you by Jeff Hardy’s inner thoughts.

James Storm comes out and says he isn’t scheduled to be here but is here to ruin Bobby Roode’s night and whip his ass.

Kazarian comes out and tells “Jim” to shut up. He says Storm whines and complains and he is also a “drunk” and a “goat roper” and tells him to take his Toby Keith routine and ride off into the sunshine. Storm makes fun of Kazarian spending the whole day coming up with that promo. Kazarian mocks the people for cheering for alcoholism.

The two start fighting around the ring as a referee comes out and an impromptu match begins.
