On the March 17 edition of TNA Impact!, Anderson demanded a rematch for contention to the world title, after wrestling to a double count-out with Van Dam at Victory Road, leaving no prevalent contender. Partially granted by “TNA owner” Hulk Hogan and partner Eric Bischoff, who booked a four-way involving Anderson and Van Dam, the match, however, ended in a double pinfall causing the same result. The following week, Sting entered the picture when he was selected by “The Network” to be the Special Enforcer (ringside referee) of the rematch between Anderson and Van Dam for title contention that night, but this led to a feud where Anderson accused Sting for disqualifying him for his actions that rendered the official referee unconscious, which made Van Dam the contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. On the March 31 edition of TNA Impact!, Anderson vented his frustration on referee Earl Hebner, who had actually disqualified him for an inadvertent clothesline attack. Bischoff and Hogan then added Anderson to the world title match at Lockdown, making it a three-way match. The conflict between Van Dam, Anderson, and Sting deepened over the weeks, with Immortal trying unsuccessfully to recruit Anderson and Van Dam to their group. After Immortal plotted to get back at Anderson for swerving them, Sting helped Anderson out of the situation with his signature baseball bat. 513820
