** May 19th begins with Immortal in the ring, bragging, but are then interupted by Brain Kendrick leading the X Division, who have been royally ticked off at Immortal for overlooking them. After Eric gives each a match with stacked odds, they respond with a resounding "BringItOn". Afterwards, Immortal ends up on the short end of a major beatdown from both the X Division and Fortune. The sight of these two groups uniting to beat up Immortal is as great as one would expect.

** The Fortune vs. Immortal match at ''Lethal Lockdown'' had it's fair share, including Daniels hitting a crossbody from the top of the cage to Matt Hardy and Abyss. However, the crowner has to be AJStyles returning to help Fortune pull out the win and taking a measure of revenge on Bully Ray for taking him out. Bully Ray reacting like he just saw a ghost is the best part.

** At the start of the show, May 5, 2011 episode of ''Impact'', after Hulk Hogan and Immortal beat on three TNA officials only to come out on the back end of a brawl against Sting, Rob Van Dam, and Forutne, Bobby Roode called Hogan out and made sure he listened, finally saying what everyone in TNA had been thinking about him, particularly over the firing of Jay Lethal, [[ItsPersonal a personal friend of Roode's]]. Yep. Fortune is definitely going to need its own section by the time this is over.

* The Network Executive that's been making Immortal's life miserable was finally revealed on May 12. Who was it? MickFoley! And he came out to put Immortal in their place and reveal he'd been the one screwing over Immortal this whole time. To make it even better, he introduces Kurt Angle's "mistress". Who is it? '''''Chyna'''''. [[OhCrap The reaction of Immortal]] was absolutely ''priceless!''

And he came out to put Immortal in their place and reveal he'd been the one screwing over Immortal this whole time. To make it even better, He also changes the show's name from ''TNA Impact'' to ''Impact Wrestling'', with the new catch slogan of "Wrestling matters again" specifically targeting {{WWE}}'s insistent de-emphasis on wrestling as well as Immortal's politics in TNA. But, the icing on the cake, he introduces Kurt Angle's "mistress"."mistress", who Angle had been saying for weeks ago would be taking Karen out. Who is it? '''''Chyna'''''.

* Sting got one on the April 14th episode. After Eric and Hogan tried to HannibalLecture him, he replied by giving a GroinAttack to Eric and dropping him with the [[FinishingMove Scorpion Death Drop]], giving Hogan a truly freaky SlasherSmile as he did so. He then backed Hogan into a corner and gave an IronicEcho of Hogan's statement to Anderson earlier in the night, that he'd attack Hogan on ''his terms''. [[OffscreenTeleportation Knowing Sting]], that's pure ParanoiaFuel for Hogan, who is already in the midst of a paranoia induced VillainousBreakdown as it is.

** When AJ returns to ''Impact!'', he calls out Bully Ray. Being the DirtyCoward he is, Bully Ray tries to talk big and not enter the steel cage that AJ has prepared. So Daniels rushes the ring and locks Bully Ray in with AJ. Cue an extremely well deserved NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. If Ray hadn't got out of dodge, he'd have been put through a table by a flying attack from the top of the cage.

* Mickie James got one on the April 14th episode. While Madison Rayne was arguing with her [[TheDragon Dragon]], Mickie, despite having been run over by a motorcycle and having her shoulder dislocated, comes out and delivers a very convincing WorldOfCardboardSpeech, swearing to tear every hair out of Rayne's head and beat her within an inch of her life. The real CrowningMomentOfAwesome here comes from her delivery of the speech, which made her seem to be an absolute BadAss despite having her arm in a sling.

After using his position to take revenge on them both, he seemingly joins Immortal, getting paraded around by two of their members and getting boos from the crowd...then smashes one of them in the ribs with a steel pipe and gives them both a Mic Check and rubs it in Hogan's face that he played him like a fiddle.

** Another one the next week. Daniels comes out and demands to be put into Lockdown in AJ's place. Flair and Immortal come out to the ring and Flair begins another HannibalLecture and states there's no way Daniels can be in TNA because Eric and Hogan wouldn't dream of letting him. Daniels reveals he's already one step ahead of Immortal and went over their heads to the network in order to get himself a contract and inserted into the match. To cap it off, he leads Fortune in an attack on Immortal and drives them out of the ring.

** If this keeps up, Fourtune is going to need its own page! At the end of the March 31 edition of TNA, Immortal has lured Fortune into a beatdown locked in a steel cage. Just when it seems the episode will end in Immortal's favor, ChristopherDaniels [[BigDamnHeroes rushes out of the crowd]], climbs the steel cage and takes out '''''[[DynamicEntry all of Immortal in one move!]]''''' He caps it off by pulling out his best friend AJStyles (who was recently taken out by Bubba) signature pose, as if saying "[[AndThisIsFor This is for AJ!]]" (which he then cuts a promo with Fortune saying exactly that). Its hard to tell which is more awesome, the fact Daniels is back or the fact he's with Fortune!

** It would appear the entire Fortune vs. Immortal angle is just spawning one Crowning Moment after another. After RicFlair betrays Fortune, despite his support of the group earlier, he comes out to the ring and gives a AGodAmI speech before calling AJStyles down to the ring. AJ responds to Flair's HannibalLecture with an '''''EPIC''''' ShutUpHannibal, followed by a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdown]] that left Flair near-naked and beaten half to death. Immortal's newest [[TheDragon hired gun]], Hernandez, tried to help, but AJ kept turning the tables, treating Hernandez like a mere nuisance. Yeah, Immortal eventually got the upper hand...for all of five seconds; Fortune quickly rushed the ring and chased them all off. The capper to this? Hernandez, while retreating, walks right into ''another'' beatdown - this one from a pissed-off Matt Morgan!

With that signal, Beer Money and Kazarian turn the tables on Immortal and eject them from the ring, then Robert Roode clotheslines Hardy and AJ nails the Styles Clash, effectively turning Fortune face and costing Hardy the match. AJ then spent the next segment putting his RicFlair-taught mic skills to work, firing up the crowd in a pretty decent Flairesque promo. The best part is that Ric was gone that night, leaving AJ to sell the angle almost entirely on his own - which he did like a champ.

[[AndTheFandomRejoiced You could literally hear the fandom rejoicing as the cheers of the ground went off the charts.]]

Once they did, Jarrett proceeded to browbeat them about being "ungrateful nobodies", since he gave them the opportunity they needed by signing them to TNA. Beer Money's Robert Roode (someone not really known for his mic skills) snatched the mic after a minute of this and flat-out told Jarrett to shut up and cut the horseshit. Roode then launched into an epic speech of his own - he reminding everyone in Immortal that Fortune is the backbone that built TNA, yet all four of them kept on getting overlooked by the next "savior" to be brought in every few months by TNA management, and they weren't about to stand by and watch their opportunity to build TNA up into something better pass them by. Essentially, the same character purpose that led Fortune to come together as heels (and administer bloody assaults to [=EV2.0=]) was carried over perfectly into the group's face turn against Immortal.

While Immortal's first night of existence. JeffHardy is in a rematch for the TNA World Championship with new champ Mr. Anderson, and the ref gets knocked out and out; Jeff uses the opportunity to use call down Immortal to and have them wail on Anderson. Per usual, AJStyles and the rest of Fortune came out to assist in the beating - but very quickly chuck just before AJ lays a hand on Anderson, he pulls his punch and throws up the Fortune handsign. With that signal, Beer Money and Kazarian turn the tables on Immortal and eject them from the ring. ring, then Robert Roode then clotheslines Hardy and AJ hits him with nails the Styles Clash, effectively turning Fortune face. face and costing Hardy the match. AJ then spends spent the next segment putting his RicFlair-taught fancy new mic skills to work and fires work, firing up the crowd in a pretty decent Flairesque promo. The best part is that Ric was gone that night, leaving AJ to sell the angle almost entirely on his own - which he did like a champ.
** Oh it gets even better. During said promo, AJ proceeds proceeded to [[CallingTheOldManOut call Eric Bischoff and Immortal out]] on '''everything''' '''damn near everything''' that fans were had been complaining about during the entire Immortal arch. angle. [[AndTheFandomRejoiced You could litterally literally hear the fandom rejoicing as the cheers of the ground went off the charts.]]
** EVEN BETTER. The following week, when it got even better. When Immortal comes came out to address the fans, Jeff Jarrett demands that demanded Fortune to come out, and once out. Once they do, he proceeds did, Jarrett proceeded to browbeat them about what being "ungrateful nobodies" they are nobodies", since he gave them the opportunity they needed by signing them to TNA, even kissing up to Bischoff and Hogan. ''Robert Roode'' quickly snatches TNA. Beer Money's Robert Roode (someone not really known for his mic skills) snatched the mic after a minute of this and tells him flat-out told Jarrett to '''SHUT UP''' shut up and cut the horseshit, before presenting horseshit. Roode then launched into an epic speech of his own, own - he reminding everyone strongly in Immortal that they are Fortune is the backbone that built TNA TNA, yet all four of them kept on getting overlooked by the next "savior" to be brought in after a every few months. Essentially months by TNA management, and they weren't about to stand by and watch their opportunity to build TNA up into something better pass them by. Essentially, the same character purpose that led Fortune to come together as heels, and to heels (and administer bloody assaults to EV2, [=EV2.0=]) was just carried over perfectly into the group's face turn. And turn against Immortal. Better yet, not one fan didn't go with it.

* Against All Odds 2010 was D'Angelo Dinero's CMOA (Sadly among his few in the company) when he competed in the Eight Card Stud Tournament to become the number one contender to the TNA World Championship. Through the evening, Dinero had three excellent matches against Desmond Wolfe, Matt Morgan and Mr. Anderson (ANDERSON!) with him putting on a great performance in each match that culminated in Pope winning the tournament after overcoming a beating from the Band and Anderson himself. A great night for the Pope in general.

*** Unless you look closer and realize the rating dropped like a brick once RAW came on and ended as a 1.3 at the end of the show (TNA's usual rating) and RAW's rating only went up. Oh and they were going up against the Fiesta Bowl.

** And that final match was a contest of sheer awesome: a Two Out of Three Falls Match that saw some amazing high-flying offense by both teams (though the Guns doled out more), as well as many dramatic near falls. In the end, the Guns picked up the final fall and retained their titles, legitimizing themselves in many fans' eyes after years of seemingly being ignored and held back from the top by TNA management. After the match, Mike Tenay asked Taz which one of the five matches in the series was worthy of Match of the Year candidacy. Taz's response? "Pick one. ''Any'' one." Match of the Year chants did break out after the 2-out-of-3-Falls match, so it's pretty clear which one the fans approve of most. But the whole series was an amazing testament to both teams' abilities and chemistry together, and is absolutely worth watching in its entirety.

* Dec 9, 2010. Velvet Sky TookALevelInBadass. Before their tag team match, Sarita gave her a HannibalLecture on how Velvet is dependent on her partner Angelina Love to win anything, until Velvet [[ShutUpHannibal spears her]] so fast that it's like she did a ''FlashStep'', then mercilessly beats her down. However, because Angelina got the pinfall, Sarita gloated that she proved her point.
