Is it too early to say that once again he's f'd up a company royally? just the same I hopeA). a lot of people watch this show and B). don't think it sucks.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He didn't fuck anything up. They simply put the storyline right back where it was suppose to be and Gave Rhino a push in doing so. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's why I'm surprisingly not pissed. It all makes sense. Now, it's back to the original storyline they had in mind. Let's face it...they didn't have any plans for Rhino (or anybody else...yet) as NWA Champ. They just wanted a surprise / happy ending to the PPV. Honestly, I think they knew if they did the short title reign with Samoa Joe or Monty Brown or Raven it would hurt them BAD so that's why they weren't the chosen ones for the upset title win at BFG. It actually helped Rhino in my eyes as he's now a main event face instead of an mid/upper card heel. I'm not saying I like it (I'm indifferent at the result)...I'm saying that it's making sense now why Rhino got the title win instead of the obvious three.

From pwinsider: Pre-Taping Notes: The Ultimate X rematch from the Bound for Glory PPV will open the Primetime Special. TNA has the X hanging from the ropes with several small chains to prevent a repeat of Sunday's PPV malfunction. ... TNA execs Dixie Carter & Frank Dickerson are sitting ringside, as is Jamie D who won the TNA Gutcheck Challenge earlier in the year. Carter spent time talking to ringside fans before the taping. ... Sean Waltman is backstage. ... Before the taping, Jeremy Borash asked how many first timers were in the house and a huge percentage raised their hands.. *Before they went on the air, the Spike TV general manager was introduced as he was sitting with TNA execs at ringside. *Mike Tenay and Don West taped several segments previewing the primetime Impact including one featuring Jeff Jarrett announcing he would challenge Rhino for the NWA title. *In an Ultimate X match, Petey Williams defeated Matt Bentley and Chris Sabin. Really fun match. Some insane spots and a catfight spot with Traci Brooks and Scott D'Amore. It's Williams vs AJ Styles for the X-Division title at the Genesis PPV. *Backstage, Team Canada attacked 3 Live Kru. In matches taped for this Saturday's Impact: *Abyss pinned Lance Hoyt with the Black Hole Slam in an entertaining bout. The lights went out and when they returned, Sabu was in the ring with his arm wrapped in barbed wire challenging Abyss, who was holding his bag of thumbtacks. Jim Mitchell pulled Abyss from the ring. *The Naturals beat Beat Lex Lovett & Buck Quartermaine. In a scary moment, Chase Stevens landed on the top of his head while flipping over after failing a famouser. He seemed out of it but kicked out. He was woozy enough that they did an improv finish after The Naturals didn't set up the Natural Disaster properly. Stevens walked out under his own power. *TNA X-Division champion AJ Styles & Sonjay Dutt defeated Roderick Strong & Alex Shelley. Monster pop for Styles. Scott D'Amore and Petey Williams came to the commentator table screaming about Williams winning the PPV Ultimate X fairly and being forced into a rematch on the special. Strong hit some insane backbreaker innovations on Dutt. Huge pop for the hot tag to Styles. Styles Clash on Strong for the pin. Another really good match. Strong "That was awesome" after all four had left the Arena. *NWA Tag Team champs America's Most Wanted defeated 3 Live Kru's Ron Killings & BG James. Crowd chanted "P****ycat" at Chris Harris. Killings did a flip dive onto AMW on the floor. Konnan thwarted Gail Kim's interference. Scott D'Amore tried to hit James with a hockey stick. Kip James stopped him and gave the stick to James. James was about to use it but Storm grabbed it. Harris hit a superkick to pin James. *Team 3-D arrived in a truck and entered the building with Brother Ray saying, "Let's take care of business." to Devon. *Team 3-D interview in the ring. Brother Ray cut a promo saying AMW was their new favorite team because they did what no one in 4 years of ECW and 6 years of WWE - put them on the shelf. He said their mistake was leaving them for dead without killing them. Ray said that they know every person who was at their "funeral" and cut a promo on them. It was a hell of a promo. They announced Rhino & 3-D vs. AMW & Jeff Jarett at Genesis. Devon challenged Team Canada to face them on the primetime special. Scott D'Amore. Bobby Rude & Eric Young came out. They distracted 3-D and jumped them. 3 Live Kru made the save for a big brawl as they go off the air. They hit 3-D on Young. They grabbed D'Amore but Jarrett and AMW hit the ring. Rhino made the save. Jarrett and his cronies powdered out after a short brawl. Another good segment. This Saturday's Impact is a really fun show. TNA Impact 2 hour special for 11/3: *Lance Hoyt & Jeff Hardy & Sabu beat The Diamonds in The Rough. Crowd is big time into Sabu. Hardy hit the swanton on Young after a quick flurry. Abyss hit the ring and nailed Sabu with the Black Hole Slam. Hoyt and Hardy clotheslined him out of the ring. OK opener. *Monty Brown pinned Brian Gamble with two Pounces. Gamble either did an awesome job selling or was legit out on his feet after the first as Brown drilled him hard. Gamble was carried out as Jeremy Borash quipped, "Gamble was 26." *Christopher Daniels & Alex Shelley & Samoa Joe lost to Austin Aries & Sonjay Dutt & X-Division champ AJ Styles - Great stuff here. They teased dissension with Joe and Daniels blind tagging each other while on the offensive. The faces had triple submissions on the heels at one point which got a TNA chant. Daniels accidentally struck Joe. Joe returned the favor. Styles got the Clash on Shelley for the win. This was bell to bell great stuff all around. You'll want to go out of your way to see this. *At some point, they will splice the Ultimate X match into the special *Team 3-D defeated Team Canada's Eric Young & Bobby Rude - The fans sang the Star Spangled Banner to taunt Team Canada. Young did a great job as the runt of the team with his personality coming through. 3D went for the wazzup headbutt but Rude shoved Devon off the ropes. They got a lot of heat on Devon as Ray was screaming for him to fight them off. Devon came back with a double clothesline. He made the hot tag. They called for 3D on Young. A1 went to use the hockey stick but 3 Live Kru stopped him. They hit the 3D for the win. Good bout. The fans saluted 3D with an ECW chant as they left the ring. *NWA champion Rhino vs. Jeff Jarrett - Rhino went for the gore after a press slam but Jarrett powdered out. They brawled through the crowd. Rhino slammed Jarrett's head into a chair held by a fan. Tommy Dreamer would be proud. Rhino slammed him into the announcing table then pulled a table from under the ring. An ECW chant started but was drowned out by a TNA chant. Rhino went for a piledriver off the ropes but Gail Kim came down. Rhino took a nasty bump to the floor. Jarrett took control. He tried to wear down Rhino with a bear hug. Crowd chanted loudly for Rhino who made his comeback with a Samoan Drop. He nailed Jarrett with a shoulder tackle but Jeff took him down as he charged towards the corner. Jarrett cinched in the figure four. Rhino reversed. Gail Kim went for a flying legdrop but missed. Rhino pressed her for a slam but Jarrett rolled him up for a two count. Jarrett tried for another pin but the ref caught him putting his feet on the ropes. Rhino hit a sit out powerbomb for a two. He missed the gore. The ref went down to a accidental clothesline. Jarett missed with a guitar shot and Rhino hit the gore. No ref to count the pinfall. AMW came down. Rhino grabbed the guitar and swung but missed. Jarrett lowblowed Rhino. AMW hit the Death Sentence on Rhino thru a table on the floor. Jarrett hit the stroke and scored the pin. Your winner and new NWA champ, again, Jeff Jarrett. They showed a shot of a bloodied Team 3-D backstage. The crowd chanted "F*** you Jarrett" and booed.

I'm gonna be different and say a PPV that defined WCW (at least after 1994) is Halloween Havoc 97 for 2 matches: Undercard brings workrate (Eddie vs. Rey) Main Event brings pain (Hogan vs. Piper...Age in the Cage)

not sure how to do spoiler tags so I'm just gonna say pwinsider has the result of tonight's Ultimate X...I can at least say it went smoothly

Oh I'm right there with you on that. Not only does it make sense for Team 3-D to face Team Canada right now, but they don't need to just hand the titles over to Team 3-D right now, and they don't need to have them get beat down again so soon already again either. I could see something being set up where AMW keeps putting off the title match against 3-D, and not actually taking place on down the road, maybe for a few months. I agree with you, which is something I almost never do in the WWE folder but in here you are like a different poster (with good reason I suppose). Since they had an Ultimate X match at the PPV, and now one in just a week or so on the 2 hour special, I think they should hold off on booking another one of those matches for quite some time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree in the sense that I believe they were planning a Ultimate X match for the special even before BFG (Tenay: "Ultimate X is coming to Spike TV")...geez, less than 2 weeks apart. However, with the BFG match cut short due to circumstances beyond their control, I would have done the same thing and put the rematch here.

Voted for: Big Show (Kane and HBK team) Dude Love Verbal Debate Submission Lingerie Hacksaw Jim Duggan Matt Hardy I hate the Taboo Tuesday concept...the WWE knows what the fans will vote for and, if not, they shove who they want down our throat (HBK in the title match, JBL and Rey for SmackDown)

Whatever...wwe.com had Dinsmore look normal talking on his cell phone in the pre-RAW pix (that's what I thought the thread was about) Convientely, I just went to look for that pic and they took it down.

I'm voting debate

My 1996 loving self is enjoying finally seeing HBK vs. Show

Directions to the chatroom, please

what's the finish?

edit: KNK beat me to it

TNA's Bound for Glory main event in jeopardy by Dave Meltzer [email protected] Kevin Nash was rushed to the hospital about two hours ago in Orlando. We don't have any details other than he was feeling bad after the fan fest and called 911. At this point it is not clear what the problem is but the feeling at the moment is that it is likely he won't be able to appear for tomorrow's show. At this point the company is working on a subtitute main event plan. The plan at this point is still not finalized both for Jeff Jarrett's new opponent or what to do with the match.

BREAKING NEWS - KEVIN NASH IN HOSPITAL IN ORLANDO TNAwrestling.com has learned that Kevin Nash was taken to an Orlando hospital on Saturday. TNA management has been in constant contact with Nash, who placed a call to 911 from his hotel room after falling ill shortly before the fanfest on Saturday afternoon. According to TNA officials, doctors are running a series of test to determine the exact source of the problem. TNAwrestling.com will post an update on this breaking situation as soon as more information is available. ----- TNA employee Bill Banks is on the TNA message board saying that this true and not an angle

From wwe.com: WWE.com: If you could wrestle just one more match, who would it be against? The Rock: A guy I regret not working with, who I grew up watching, would be a guy like Sting in his prime. I would have loved to have wrestled him in his prime. And on the current roster, I always wanted to work with Rey Mysterio. I’d love to go against him with me as a heel in San Diego. I would love that. Sh**, that would be awesome. He’s just one of those gifted guys that can have a great match with anyone. WWE.com: A lot of people on the Internet have always said they would love to have seen The Rock vs. Shawn Michaels. Is that a match you would have liked to have had? The Rock: I was never ever interested in working with him, to be honest with you. I’ve known him for a long time. He came in and worked for my family in Hawaii when I was like 13 – him and Marty Jannetty. It was just one of those things. He was always one of those guys that I said “Hey” to and he said “Hey” – it’s no big deal. ----- 1- I'd LOVE to see heel Rock vs. Rey in San Diego 2- Ouch on the Shawn thing...that can't be good for your ego.

Not to worry Curry, I predict we will see plenty of .gif's of the bump after tonight...

Chris Masters doing his best Scott Steiner impression and disposing of the whole cruiserweight division but runs when Hardcore Holly comes in...nice

I haven't recorded anything WWE since Wrestlemania 21...I'm catching the replay to record that bump and hell the match was good too as I enjoyed the story being told...interesting.

Anybody watching on The Score in Canada? If so...HOLY SHIT at that plancha by Benoit...my jaw hit the floor!!!!! edit: they've replayed it like 6 times...last one in slow-motion!

Speaking of Sullivan, he lost a Loser Leaves WCW to Benoit in 97ish and shows up without explaination with the new Varsity Club after Benoit jumps to the WWF in 2000! Steve <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, the Varsity Club redebuted at Starrcade 99 where they turned on Jim Duggan. On that same card, Benoit beat Jarrett in a very good ladder match for the U.S. title. Benoit left the following month. Why do I remember late 1999 WCW? That brain space can be used to store important info!

LOL, WTF? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Background: Russo (a.k.a. The Powers That Be) had problems with both Buff Bagwell and Hennig...therefore, he pits them together in a career match so he'd get rid of one of them. Hennig lost. The next night on Nitro, Hennig was to make his retirement speech. However, after taking the mic, he never actually speaks and went back to the locker room looking all down. Later that night, he costs Buff his match and reveals he has now decided to align with Russo and Creative Control. It's sad that I know so much about the disaster known as late 1999 Nitro.
