I'm Bret hart and welcome to the first RWA show of 2002, and the very first RWA Impact. Impacts gonna be our new weekly show, with our usual great ppv's once a month.

and here's Commissioner Cactus to kick things off.

Cactus: "I've got some sad news today, I've decided that I'm getting too old for this job, and that it's time for me to retire. I know it's gonna be terrible with out me, but I've got a great replacement..."

It's the Big Ass Monkey, the owner of the RWA!

"Thanks Cactus, and thanks for all the great work you've done for the RWA".

Listen to that crowd, its a stirring good bye to Cactus.

"So from now on I'm going to be the commissioner, and I'm gonna make the RWA the greatest fed in the world. As you can see I've invested in a new ring, and starting tonight we're gonna sort out the title situation. Rhyno will get his U.S title shot which he earned at Nightmare. And Christian never got a re-match against Saturn after he was cheated out of the title, so it's gonna be Christian vs Saturn for the World title!"

Wow, so we're gonna have two title matches tonight, but first here's Justin Credible in his very first RWA match.

And he's gonna be taking on Raven.

Raven hammers Credible.

and then slams him hard into the turnbuckle.
