Background

Originally, the main event of Final Resolution was scheduled to be Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Savage. Savage had made his return to professional wrestling by debuting in TNA at Victory Road 2004, and challenging The Kings of Wrestling (Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) to a match.cite web|url= http://www.gerweck.net/victoryroad.htm|title=Victory Road 2004 review|publisher=Gerweck.net|accessdate=2008-01-08] At Turning Point 2004, Savage teamed up with Jeff Hardy and A.J. Styles to take on Outsiders in a 6-man tag team match. Savage's team won when Savage pinned Jarrett.cite web|url= http://www.gerweck.net/turningpoint.htm|title=Turning Point 2004 review|publisher=Gerweck.net|accessdate=2008-01-08] Savage was scheduled to compete at Final Resolution. Savage left the company and retired from professional wrestling shortly after Turning Point however.
