King Cucaracha

Taker by miles...Eddie obviously, Rock should be pretty high up on the list, and the same with Cena when he goes over Show. Benoit'll only get big pops if he wins or puts on a good match. Can't remember the last time his actual entrance got a sizeable crowd reaction (compared with his position on the card that is.)

Looks like somebody's blown all her money... ...can't say that I'm surprised.

Yeah, right after I beat Grappler too... ...yeah, if I don't see him around, I'll just say 'Todd' got injured during the match, and use him as an off-screen guy till Todd returns.

Fuck it, I'm gonna have to no-show. Todd's gone AWOL, and I'm not going to be able to finish a tag match on my own to any sort of Tag Title standard. If any of the CC knows anything about Todd's whereabouts...well, firstly why didn't you tell me...but, if you do, then fine. If not, just lettin' you know I haven't seen him around for the past couple of weeks, and he hasn't PMed me yet...so, yeah. Sorry to W&D I guess. I'll get a promo done to make up for this.

I didn't think XV was all that bad, but I was and Attitude mark so there ya go. Definately not good, but I didn't think it was that bad. Same for IX. No great matches, but I don't hate it as much as most. XI, II and XIII were pretty god awful...XII wasn't much better either. I voted for WM 2 just because there's nothing worth watching on it at all, and the 'guest commentators' suck 'teh' big one.

This is also posted over at the .400 software studios, but so far I'm lacking in intelligent feedback. I was doing a diary for that Diaryslam thing, but didn't upadate enough and got knocked out in the final 10...so, I dowloaded Ravex #22, and started this the other day. Feedback as you wish...

*DARK MATCH* Tag Team Match 'The IRONman' Nick Dinsmore and Matt Stryker vs Amazingly Divine (The Amazing Red and Chris Divine) An exciting way to start the show...if you were in the arena. If not you missed out on this match. Fast paced and frantic, mainly due to the lack of time, it was the perfect match for Red and Divine. Stryker and Dinsmore, to their credit, adapted well to the pace. Divine was isolated and double teamed for the opening couple of minutes, until a quick hot tag brought in Red. Soon all four men ended up brawling in and around the ring...Amazing Divine at one point hitting awesome stereo suicide planchas onto the IRON teammates. Back inside, Red's acrobatics continued until he and Stryker ended up brawling on the ropes. Both men ended up crashing off the ropes to the floor, leaving Dinsmore in the ring. Divine attempted a springboard clothesline on him, but Dinsmore countered with the Crossface...and despite a brief fight, Divine had no choice but to tapout and give Team IRON another victory. Winners: Nick Dinsmore and Matt Stryker by submission in 5:36 **1/2 (70, 58, 83) NWA:TNA NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE 25th April 2004 Live on PPV from the TNA Asylum, in Nashville Tennesee Commentators: ‘The Professor’ Mike Tenay and 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes The PPV PYRO~! hits, and we're in Nashville for the third (proper) NWA:TNA PPV. Mike Tenay is at ringside...and for some reason, someone has decided his announce partner should be Dusty Rhodes. Better get the 'Dustyionary' out. Tenay- Hello and welcome to NWA:TNA...NOTHING...LEFT...TO LOSE! Mike Tenay alongside the legendary Dusty Rhodes here at ringside. Dusty...it's a pleasure. Dusty- Well, thank you Mike Tenay, it's great to be heeeya to watch da best wrestlin' company in the world on Pay Per View dadday! Tenay- A huge main event tonight...Jeff Jarrett versus Ron Killings for the NWA World Title. Plus, the NWA Tag Team and X-Division Titles are both on the line, and later on...we've got Raven's Clockwork Orange House Of Fun to look forward to. Dusty- Lemme tell ya somethan Mike...when da dust has settled on that match, somebody's gonna be hurtin' for certain. Two On One Handicap Match 'The Machine' Doug Basham and Jim Cornette vs Barry Windham Well...unsurprisingly, not very good. Not very good at all. This obviously wasn't made for the work-rate fans out there. Windham and Basham started, and that's the way it stayed for the most part. Windham was in control for the early going, until Basham flipped out of a back suplex and chopblocked out the knee. From there Windham was easy picking...even for Cornette who came in to get some crowd-riling cheap-shots. Whenever Windham showed signs of fight Cornette was unsurprisingly quick to tag Basham back in. Eventually Cornette got a little too big for his britches, and tried to whip Windham off the ropes. Barry countered with a short-arm clothesline, bringing Basham in. Windham began to fight both men off, and grabbed Cornette with the crowd imploring him on. Basham snuck in however with the tennis racket, but got a boot to the jaw. As Chioda then tried to get Cornette out of the ring, Windham went for a powerbomb on Basham...but 'The Machine' had grabbed the racket and brought it up with him...nailing Windham in the head! He quickly threw the racket out as he fell on top for the pin...and the three count!!! Cornette and Basham quickly got the hell out of the ring, as Windham was left clutching his knee in the ring. Winners: Doug Basham and Jim Cornette by pinfall in 8:21 DUD (60, 66, 49) Tenay- Basham and Cornette steal the win, and they look pleased with their actions. Dusty- Jim Cornette is a slimeball of tha highest order Mike Tenay. Tenay- Well...you can bet that these men have won the battle, but not the war, with Barry Windham. NWA Tag Team Championships The America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm)© vs Excellence Inc. (Michael Modest and Donovan Morgan) Thankfully this match made up for the opener...and was a excellent tag team match. Following your usual tag team format, Modest and Morgan cut the ring in half on James Storm after a brief opening flurry from the AMW. Together they worked The Cowboy's right knee over with some nice tag team wrestling, without lulling the crowd into boredom. The hot tag to Harris was inevitable, but got a good reaction when it came. Feeding off it, The Wildcat cleared house of Modest before setting Morgan up for the Death Sentence. Storm however couldn't climb the ropes with his injured knee, allowing Modest to throw him from the apron. Modest and Harris then brawled, Modest almost stealing the titles with a roll-up. Eventually Modest was able to set Harris up for the Reality Check, but Harris fought out, and then threw the on-running Morgan into his partner. With Morgan then being clotheslined out by Storm, the AMW quickly set up...for and hit...the Death Sentence! Storm hooked the leg of Modest, as Morgan tried to make the save...but got caught by Harris, allowing Brian Hebner to count the three! But, before the AMW could even think about celebrating, Matt Stryker and Nick Dinsmore stormed the ring and jumped the Tag Champions. Harris was quickly nailed with a double powerbomb...Storm meeting the same fate, as Modest and Morgan regrouped with their stable mates, and joined in with some stomps on the fallen champs until referees finally ran down to pull Team IRON away. Winners and still NWA Tag Team Champions: America's Most Wanted by pinfall (Storm over Modest) in 14:42 ***1/2 (79, 69, 89) Notes: The NWA Tag Team titles have gained in image. Tenay- Those four men need to be taught a lesson. First AJ Styles and now the AMW left laying at their hands. Rhodes- Well Mike, I know the boys in the back will be more than willin' to give these punks a taste of TNA reality. Tenay- Let's hope that they're served that reality very soon. Backstage, Raven is stood (well...sat) by for an interview with Scott Hudson. Hudson asks the gloomy looking Raven how he feels about the upcoming Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match, to which Raven simply replies he's glad he's not Abyss. Hudson asks him to elaborate...so Raven does so, by pulling a roll of barbed wire from behind the chair he's sat on. A picture says a thousand words I guess... OR: 80 Rhodes- It looks like Raven has some evil intentions, if you weeell. Tenay- It certainly does...and I agree with him. I'm glad I'm not Abyss too. Special Guest Referee Tag Team Match Red Shirt Security (Joe Legend and Kevin Northcutt) vs Erik Watts and Spanky Referee: TNA Chief Executive Don Callis The Red Shirts continued their recent impressive run, with a decent match here with the throw together team of Watts and Spanky. Nice to see the latter finally getting on the shows. The match went by the regular tag team format, only with Callis as referee there were understandably a few 'hiccups'. Legend got a nearfall on Spanky just one minute in from a snap suplex, due to Callis' quick count. Soon Spanky turned the tide, and took a little time out to mock Don Callis, which got him some fan support. However, he was quickly neutralised by the bigger Red Shirts, and ended up playing face in peril for the match. Watts was left to stew on the outside, looking to be slowly nearing boiling point as Spanky was worked over, with some less than impartial refereeing. Eventually he got the tag, and came in with a flurry, which popped the crowd. Legend and Northcutt took right hands, before Watts went to nail Callis...but thought better of it, and double clotheslined the Shirts. In the end, Spanky came in and went for the Sliced Bread #2 on Northcutt, but got thrown out of the ring in mid move. Watts dropkicked Northcutt out of the ring, but was quickly cradled up from behind by Legend who grabbed the ropes...while Don Callis delivered a lightning quick three count! The crowd were unhappy at the screwy ending, chanting "Bull-SHIT" towards Callis, as Watts charged after him...but Legend cut him off with a spear. Callis quickly stepped in and humiliatingly slapped Watts, before he, Legend and Northcutt made a sharp exit. Winners: Red Shirt Security by pinfall (Legend over Watts) in 7:15 ** (69, 63, 76) Tenay- What a sickening display by Don Callis! Rhodes- But it's no more than Erik Watts and Span-kay should have expec'tad Mike. Tenay- But still Dusty, the disrespect that man...who's somehow still our Chief Executive...showed tonight is ridiculous. What more can he do to poor Erik Watts? Rhodes- Oh...belie'me Mike Tenay...Don Callis can and weeell do a lot more, brudda. NWA:TNA X-Division Championship, Triple Threat Match Paul London © vs Kid Kash vs 'The Future' Chris Sabin A great little match here between probably the top three guys involved in this division. Kash and Sabin began working as a unit, double-teaming the champion until a double hip-toss sends London flying over the top to the floor. Kash and Sabin then turned their attention to each other, both getting a couple of near-falls while London took time to recover. Eventually Kash managed to nail the Bank Roll on Sabin, only for London to just break the pin in time. After a series of innovative three-man spots followed, including London dropsaulting Kash from the middle rope, and landing on Sabin...before Kash threw Sabin out of the ring and locked London in a move similar to the Edgeucator. Sabin rolled back in and locked on a camel clutch on London at the same time, bending him in half. Luckily the champ didn't quit before Kash broke his hold and clotheslined Sabin...we can do without a double champion situation. As the match drew on the nearfalls and big moves were traded back and forth, and the match could have went any way. As it was, Sabin and Kash clashed heads causing Kash to fall to the apron. London dropsaulted Kash off the apron, landing on Sabin for the pinfall...and three count, to retain the title. Winner and still NWA:TNA X-Division Champion: Paul London by pinfall (London over Sabin) in 11:54 *** (76, 67, 85) Notes: The NWA X title has gained in image. Tenay- The best X-Division wrestler in the world today retains his title! What a prospect Paul London is. Rhodes- I dunno about prospects Mike Tenay...Paul London is awesome right here and right now! Tenay- Well...a fantastic match...something very different to the one we'll be seeing next. Raven and Abyss...Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match. Rhodes- I tell ya Mike...someone will get hurt in this match. Before that match can get underway, the World Champion is backstage with Scott Hudson...and unsurprisingly takes a few minutes of his 'precious time' to put himself over, and put down Ron Killings. He promises that tonight he'll still be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion when the night is over, and Killings might as well go back to 'making an ass of himself up in Stamford'...because he'll never be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion again. OR: 85 As we come back, the weapons are still being positioned above the ring...with everything from chairs and singapore canes, to Cornette's tennis racket, and even a big pipe wrench hanging from the wires and chains. Raven's Clockwork House Of Fun Match Raven vs Abyss Yikes, this was pretty brutal by NWA:TNA's standards. Very entertaining too. Raven came out with his barbed wire loop in his gloved hands but Abyss was waiting on him with stomps. The big man continued to beat down on Raven for a while, and did a good job of neutralising the former ECW Champion before the weapons eventually came into play. Grabbing a singapore cane, the big man beats the heck out of Raven...but Raven fights back, and grabs the cane himself. Four vicious head-shots don't put Abyss down so Raven goes low, and grabs a frying pan. A shot with that puts Abyss down, giving Raven the advantage. The match wore on, with weapons littering the ring as well as Abyss' blood. Abyss managed to block the old Raven -drop-toe-hold-on-the-chair, and hip-tossed Raven through the open seat for a two count. A big avalanche in the corner then gave Abyss chance to grab the barbed wire roll, and charge with it. Raven countered by backdropping Abyss to the outside...but the big man quickly recovered and rolled a table in. Another brief brawl broke out, with Abyss left pounding down on Raven before grabbing the table and setting it up in the middle of the ring. Raven went for the Evenflow as he turned around, but Abyss countered a Northern Lights Bomb which got a very long two count. Monents later both men gingerly climbed onto the table, with Abyss dragging Raven up by the hair. Quickly Raven managed to reach up and grab a computer keyboard from above him, and smashed it over Abyss' head. Keys flew everywhere, as Raven took advantage with an Evenflow through the table...and quickly covered, getting the three count! Winner: Raven by pinfall in 18:21 ***1/2 (81, 75, 88) Tenay- Well, Raven survived the war... Rhodes- Survived is the right word for that match. What a battle Mike Tenay! Tenay- It sure was Dusty, and we're going to have to get the ring cleared up before our main event. Jeff Jarrett defends his title against Ron Killings next. Rhodes- Can Ron Killings rise to da top of that mountain one more time, or will Doub'a J keep that NDubyaA Title? I gotta hope Killings can do it tonight Mike. Tenay- I think after Jarrett's recent actions that we all do Dusty. ***MAIN EVENT*** NWA World Heavyweight Championship 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett © vs Ron 'The Truth' Killings A fantastic old school style main event, which the crowd were solidly into. A slow build to begin saw both men looking for an opening, before Jarrett managed to catch Killings with a kick to the knee, and attempt to go to work. Killings stopped Jarrett's momentum quickly with an enziguri kick, which sent him to the outside where the abuse from the crowd increased. Jarrett regained his senses and rolled back in, and another slow build started...this time ending with a Jarrett thumb to the eye, and kick to the leg. Slowly The Chosen One worked on Killings' knee, and eventually locked in the figure four but Killings quickly reached the ropes. He then tried to mount a comeback, but on one leg it wasn't too successful. Jarrett continued on with the assault on the knee, fighting off brief fightbacks from Killings at times. At one point Jarrett went for the Stroke, but Killings countered into a roll-through ankle lock, which Jarrett only just got to the ropes from. Finally Killings managed a comeback, and started to get the crowd behind him. But, Jarrett managed to duck the K-Kick, and snap the figure four on. This time Killings was only just able to get to the ropes, getting a pop as he did so. After nearfalls for both men, Jarrett went for The Stroke...but in mid-move, Killings countered with the Truth Or Consequences...but only got a 2 count! From there, it was acedemic. Still, the crowd willed Killings on, and he looked in control until the referee got bumped. Suddenly SONNY SAIKI ran down the aisle, and after Killings hit a second Truth Or Consequences, Saiki rolled in and smacked Killings with a chair shot! Jarrett followed it up with The Stroke, and eventually the referee came around to count the three count, allowing Jarrett to retain the title. After the match, Jarrett made a quick exit dodging abuse and some isolated trash, as in the ring Saiki grabbed the chair again, and drilled Killings repeatedly in the ribs with it. A backbreaker on the open chair was followed up with a couple more, until Killings started spitting up blood...at which point Saiki left the ring, getting booed wildly by the crowd for his dispicable actions. Winner and still NWA World Champion: Jeff Jarrett by pinfall in 22:11 ***3/4 (88, 87, 89) Notes: The NWA World Heavyweight title has gained in image. Tenay- I don't believe this Dusty. Sonny Saiki just DESTROYED Ron Killings...and cost him the NWA World Title! There's hell to pay there let me tell ya! Rhodes- I don't doubt it for one second Mike! Tenay- Well, for now, Jeff Jarrett is still the NWA World Champion. And we leave you with the scene of destruction that Sonny Saiki has left...goodnight from me and Dusty, and make sure you join us on TotalNonstop TV this coming Wednesday night! OR: 78- Great show all in all. An impressive main event to top it off, but all the matches seemed to click well and had high crowd heat…well, apart from the DUD of a handicap match. Not the best idea to put Cornette in a match. Attendance: 9,082 Buyrate: 0.74

Well, Teddy jobbed twice. That should please a lot of people. Here's hoping we soon get a Team U.K if this X-Cup format turns out to be/continues to be a success.

Matt and Hurricane can't be in it. Like Mickey Cole always says...'The Cruiserweight Division is exclusive to Smackdown.' C_Dubya, the reason London doesn't get reaction is because he hasn't had appeared on Smackdown regularly since arriving in the company. He could and would get over if he was given a gimmick and T.V time...and that's not just the London fan in me saying that. London not being in it is reason enough for him to go back to ROH hopefully. I mean, talk about a kick in the teeth...Funaki's in, but not London? I haven't seen Funaki wrestle in months. And DH, I agree about Rey...having him win it would be anti-climatic. But I ideally wouldn't have Chavito lose it yet personally. Unless it goes to Ultimo and we get Ultimo/Chavito feuding, I'd rather see him retain the belt.

At least we know how to spell it now. And, yeah...I'd buy this shirt. As a mark-out for Long more than anything. And at least it's black (not a Long joke, but rather my prefence of shirt color). Nothing great though, and the font does look ugly.

No. Did you not watch Heat? It was near enough billed as... 'Goldberg will be at ringside, while Brock Lesnar defends his WWE Title...against Eddie Guerrero...GOLDBERG WILL BE AT RINGSIDE!' He'll get some credit I'd hasten to bet.

Last I checked, they were over, and Rosey, IMO is one of the best actors they have. Plus he's improved quite a bit in the ring since the 3MW days. Oh, and just to clarify, Hurricane jobbed to Heidenriech the other week on Heat...clean...in under 5 minutes. So I guess he's not been forgiven for that fight with Mack yet.

You're not the only one. Good recap, as always... Anyway...on the women's title subject, usually I'd expect Molly to be a sure fire winner. But if she lost, I doubt Molly would be bald...heck, I point you in the direction of Kevin Nash. She probably just wants a new haircut or something...

You should have used "High Voltage". "Fire in the disco...fire in the Taco Bell..." That would have been gold! Anyway...I have a bone to pick. 'Shown less than godliness'!?! Granted, Todd may not be brilliant, but I've more than carried his dead-weight for the past month. Nah, just kiddin' Todd. If you're reading, you should have a PM by the time you read this.

Well, congrats to Toxxic, Sacred and Coy for wins. I was surprised that the only real build for the PPV where the contender matches, and my post-match...I was planning a Va'aiga run-in, but he rightly vetoed it because run-ins = not good. Other than that...huzzah for the juniors! Alan...major congratulations man. I'm really happy for ya, and hopefully this'll give you some mometum going into the FTF match with HVT. I won? I'm to say the least surprised...again. Well...no complaints from me on that. And IL...good to see you showing and winning, despite the circumstances.

1) If you're a backyard fed that wants to be dis-associated with the BYW trademarks, why not get other feds like yours together and form some sort of 'alliance'. Call it something other than backyard wrestling...something that tells others you're not professional, but keeps you away from the backyard image, join together with other feds or your type so you can do talent swaps sometimes (free holidays)...eventually, with a bit of dedication, you'd be nearing the new 'brand' to legitimacy. 2) Anybody who can near-cripple someone by not using a boston crab correctly needs to be somewhere other than a wrestling 'ring'.

Foley's been bringing out the best of Orton recently...in that sense I care about the feud. But I agree with DH. Rock'll probably get involved tonight with the whole 'nobody saved Foley' storyline, and screw up what pretty much needs to be Foley/Orton Hardcore Rules. It's the only way that Foley could help Orton get over.

So...can we expect Corino to treat this as a wrestling match, or just beat the shit out of Hart?

Why don't you tell them how to make fission bombs while you're at it? And i'm waiting for the day they give Bret Hart a thirty minute speech at WrestleMania XX. *looks around, coughs* Thirty minutes? Man, I hope that'd be at the end of the show so I could sleep through it then. Oh, and for the video, you can still make Angle a badass heel. Plays frisbee with little Johnny, the frisbee hits him in the head so he locks Johnny in the ankle lock. Pets a dog on the park, the dog bites him, so he Angle Slams the mutt. You get the picture.

Man, I respect the heck out of Rocky for getting those tats done. Not just because of the way they're 'applied'...but like people said, it could damage his movie career slightly. I doubt it'd be that much of a problem as it's the lower half of his body. Nice to see him honouring his heritage like that...and it should look bad-ass in the ring. If they're done by Mania.

I think the question on everyone's mind is does he still have the beard? Or not... Anyway, that was kind of worrying. Luckily it's not too serious of an injury, because I'm beginning to want Edge back now the rumours have been flying around about him.

Blame? Did I say I was blaming anyone? I really should have put that smilie in so you'd know I was being sarcastic... Better late than never.

It's been a long time baby...but I'm back. That may be a song lyric...who knows. Anyway, I'm back and here's the show. NWA:TNA TotalNonstop TV 21st April 2004 Live from the TNA Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee Commentators: 'The Professor' Mike Tenay and 'NWA Chief Executive' Don Callis We're in Nashville again...which means PYRO. Total Nonstop TV episode three is on the air... But before we even get into the show, we cut to the parking lot...where Erik Watts is just arriving backstage greeted by a pop from the crowd. He got out of 'jail' then. But does he have a partner for tonight!?! Well...obviously he will. But a little speculation against faces never hurt anyone. OR: 83 Notes: Erik Watts gained overness from this segment. Tenay- Erik Watts is here, so is the World Champion Jeff Jarrett. He beat AJ Styles in the Cage Match last week...and is in tag action this week, as the card for Nothing Left To Lose will no doubt be bulked up tonight. Callis- Count on it Mike. For one, the AMW have to choose two opponents for four days time. Tenay- A big night tonight...and we're kicking off with Hardcore Title action! NWA:TNA Hardcore Championship 'Sic' Vic Grimes © vs Rene Dupree Well, this was shockingly good. SHOCKINGLY. Despite an expected clash of styles, it seems the hardcore rules compensated for that and provided and old school ECW-style hardcore match. Grimes was physically imposing from the get-go, bringing a chair into play early on. It only took a couple of minutes for Dupree to become busted open...a vile chair shot splitting his forehead apart. It seemed to be a cakewalk, with Grimes nailing a powerbomb on the chair and setting up the table on the outside. However, as he came back in, Dupree managed to hit a chair shot of his own. Dupree's quickness suddenly came into play, almost getting him a win. But, in the end, Grimes took control of the chair and smashed Dupree in the head...before drilling him with the Victimizer, for the 3 count and to retain the title. Winner and still NWA Hardcore Champion: Vic Grimes by pinfall in 7:39 **3/4 (69, 54, 85) Notes: The NWA Hardcore title has gained in image. Vic Grimes is losing overness because of his weak gimmick. Tenay- Vic Grimes retains his title, but he wouldn't have expected Dupree to have put up such a fight. Callis- Well, it was always inevitable Mike. Grimes just took his time with the kid. Backstage, Barry Windham walks through the catering area, and out into the main arena. He doesn't get too far however, as standing in front of him is Jim Cornette. Windham braces himself for a fight, but Cornette calms him down...saying he's not looking for a fight, and Basham isn't around for a sneak attack. In fact, Basham isn't here tonight. Cornette wants to talk about Nothing Left To Lose. Doug Basham wants to prove one on one that he's better than Barry Windham, and he wants this match to prove it at any cost. Windham thinks about it for a moment...and agrees, on one condition. It's not just going to be Windham versus Basham. No...it has to be Windham versus Basham...and Jim Cornette! Shocked, Cornette stammers for a while, before meekly agreeing. Windham walks off smiling, as Cornette starts to realise what he's gotten himself into. OR: 74 Notes: Barry Windham gained overness from this segment. Tenay- Good god...Jim Cornette and Doug Basham against Barry Windham at Nothing Left To Lose. Callis- That Cornette's obviously gone nuts. Tenay- Well, I guess he was on orders to get the match any way possible. So, he took the match. Of course, he's going to get destroyed now. Callis- You never know...Cornette might kick Barry's ass. Tenay- (laughs) Meanwhile, Christopher Daniels is on his way to the ring. Unsurprisingly Daniels wants to boast about his recent victory over Dusty Rhodes. Apparantely, Daniels kicked Dusty's 'fat ass' out of the NWA for good. Daniels says it's about time Dusty was gone, because now he can take his place and start challenging for the NWA Title. But, not so fast, because suddenly Low Ki begins to walk out to the ring! Ki gets on the mic, and tells Daniels that he really needs to learn some respect. 'Why' Daniels asks. He says he's retired Dusty Rhodes, he says...well, not much more, as Dusty Rhodes' music hits to a HUGE pop. The American Dream is out in the ring now, wondering what the fuss is all about. Dusty isn't gone. Dusty's going nowhere. Daniels launches into a tirade on the Dream, but Ki cuts him off and tells Daniels he has always been an ungrateful punk...but this is going too far. Again Daniels brushes Ki off and launches off at Dusty... ...but gets knocked out by a stiff kick by Ki!!! The crowd, simply put, ERUPT, as Ki looks down at Daniels with anger. A "Low Ki" chant rings out, as Ki leaves...Dusty telling Daniels to kiss his 'big bad tushy' before following. OR: 70 Notes: Christopher Daniels lost overness from this segment. Low-Ki's turn was completed, and he is now a face. Low-Ki gained overness from this turn. Callis- What the heck was that!?! Tenay- That was Low Ki showing Daniels what disrespectful punks get for their troubles! Callis- That was uncalled for Mike. Poor Chris may have a concussion from that vicious kick! NWA:TNA X-Division Championship Paul London © vs Kid Kash w/Trinity Great match...with a not so great ending. Both men put in a tremendous effort, and the result was very enjoyable. The evenly fought match swung in Kash's favour once his valet Trinity got involved, distracting London for the challenger to attack from behind. Kash from there went through his array of high impact moves until London was left laying, almost out of commition. Quickly Kash went to the top rope and looking for a top rope legdrop, he taunted the crowd for too long...allowing London time to move! London hit a couple of dropsaults, and was suddenly on the ascendancy. A big superkick from Kash cut him off for a two count, before Kash went for the Money Maker. London escaped, and smacked Kash full on in the head with a Koppu Kick. Suddenly, as London signalled for the London Calling...Chris Sabin rolled into the ring behind him. Kash started to pull himself up, as Sabin clotheslined London down...but immediately got nailed by Kash! All hell quickly breaks loose, and Chioda desperately calls for the bell. The brawls between the three continues, neither man relenting on either of his two sudden adversaries. With no signs of the brawl ceasing, referees and officials have to charge the ring and pull the three fuming men apart... No Contest in 14:24 Therefore, still NWA X-Division Champ: Paul London ***3/4 (82, 70, 94) Notes: The NWA X title has gained in image. While they're getting pulled apart...here's a video package. And, it's highlighting the impending debut of Mikey Whipwreck. Not exactly a great video, and there's no actual date for the debut. Plus, it obviously doesn't include any ECW footage, where Mikey was God. Still...Mikey coming in is a good thing. OR: 55 Tenay- I for one cannot wait for the debut of Mike Whipwreck! Callis- Mikey's one hell of a wrestler Mike, I'll give him that. Whever he can hang with the TNA boys...we'll see. Tenay- Well...two of those 'boys' who know Mikey well are The Amazing Red and Chris Divine...both trained by Whipwreck. Will THEY be getting a Tag Title shot on Sunday April 25th? Callis- Who knows. But, I hope the AMW are watching this next match...because they need to choose soon, and you've got four of the top teams in the TNA in that ring. Eight Man Tag Team Match Red Shirt Security (Legend and Kevin Northcutt) and Kyo Dai (Jimmy Yang and Ryan Sakoda) vs Amazingly Divine (The Amazing Red and Chris Divine) and Team Tough Enough (John Hennigan and Matt Cappotelli) With the number of wrestlers in the ring, this was unsurprisingly quite a spotfest. Led by Red and Yang, all eight man threw in their high impact and high flying moves at a frantic pace. Which of course meant nothing was really memorable amongst the flurry. John Hennigan was the man to be first isolated from the corner. Legend and Northcutt worked him over, not wanting to tag in their other partner so they could impress...so Sakoda had to tag himself in. In due time Hennigan escaped to tag in Red, which was coincidentally (or not) when the spots started flying in at fast pace. Once Red, Divine, Yang, Northcutt and Hennigan had worn themselves out with dardevil dives to the outside, Legend and Sakoda were left in the ring with Cappotelli. Sakoda lined up a clothesline, but missed and wiped out Legend. Referee Johnson ordered Sakoda from the ring as Cappotelli went for Legend...but got nailed with a big boot between the legs! Legend quickly cradled up Cappotelli...as Johnson turned around, and counted the three count. Winners: Red Shirt Security and Kyo Dai by pinfall (Legend over Cappotelli) in 8:03 *3/4 (64, 51, 77) Callis- Well, if that isn't good enough for the AMW...I don't know what is. Tenay- Excuse me? Legend cheated! Callis- All I know is Legend got the pin. Surely my boys deserve that title shot. Tenay- Then why didn't you book it yourself, instead of leaving the decision to the AMW... Callis- Hey, why should I have to make ALL the unpopular decisions. Quickly the scene cuts back into the trainer's room, where sitting on the bench being attended to is a glass eyed looking Christopher Daniels. Goldylocks walks in, and tries to ask Daniels what happened with Low Ki...Daniels informing her that Low Ki just suffered from a bout of jealousy. He was always the 'lesser man'. In Ring Of Honor, in the X-Division, in XXX...it was always Daniels running the show, and Low Ki performing as the supporting act. And now he can't handle that Chris Daniels is now a legend. Daniels ends by saying that if Low Ki wants to try his luck against him, and wants to embarrased just like Dusty Rhodes...he'd be more than happy to teach him a lesson. OR: 88 Tag Team Match Excellence Inc. (Michael Modest and Donovan Morgan) vs Erik Watts and K-Ness Modest and Morgan, who work together in both UPW and NOAH, made their collective NWA:TNA debuts here. Watts meanwhile found his partner...Toryumon star K-Ness. The masked man was on top form tonight, but really this match was about the debutants. They dominated over K-Ness, until the masked flier got the hot tag in to Watts. The former Chief Of Staff cleared house, taking time out to shout abuse down at Don Callis before getting taken out with a double clothesline. Watts get set up for and nailed with a double hammerlock suplex, into a double cross armbreaker. K-Ness broke it up with a lionsault onto Morgan...but missed one on Modest. Modest quickly threw Watts out of the ring, before grabbing K-Ness and driving him to the mat with the Reality Check. The cover gets three, as Watts is unable to make the save. Post-match, Watts is thrust out of the ring again, before the IRON duo begin to put the boots to K-Ness. Suddenly the crowd erupted, as the America's Most Wanted charge down the aisle, and take out Modest with a double clothesline! Morgan is next to be taken down, as quickly they both scurry from the ring. Harris quickly grabs a microphone and announces he and Storm have come to a decision. If the Team IRON want to try and take over the NWA:TNA...how about they try to take out two of the NWA:TNA's most loyal stars. This Sunday...it'll be Excellence Inc. challenging the AMW for the Tag Team Titles. They accept from the ramp, as the AMW check on K-Ness and Watts. Winners: Excellence Inc. by pinfall in 9:50 **1/4 (69, 58, 80) Tenay- Well...what an announcement. The AMW versus Excellence Inc. Two of the finest teams in the company fighting for the belts! Callis- I'm dissapointed. The Red Shirts should have got the shot. Tenay- Well, like I said earlier, you were the one who handed the decision to the AMW. Callis- Yeah...well...we'll know who to blame when they lose the belts then wont we? ***MAIN EVENT*** Tag Team Match NWA World Champion 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett and Abyss vs 'The Truth' Ron Killings and Raven A solid main event...and a nice way to merge together the big two matches this coming Sunday. More than just your typical tag team match, both feuds were advanced in the course of this match. In fact, there wasn't even a hot tag in this match...refreshing from the norm. The ending saw all four men brawling in the ring, with Jarrett and Killings eventually spilling to the outside. Raven and Abyss continues brawling in the ring, with Abyss in control. However, Abyss missed an avalanche in the corner, as Killings jumped up to the apron. He quickly hit a springboard dropkick, but was pulled from the ring by Jarrett. Raven however was available to grab Abyss and drill him with an Evenflow DDT. Quickly Raven dropped into the cover...and pinned his arch rival, to a huge roar from the crowd! Winners: Raven and Ron Killings by pinfall (Raven over Abyss) in 13:48 **3/4 (78, 77, 80) Tenay- Raven did it! He beat Abyss...just days from Nothing Left To Lose! Callis- Damn it no! Tenay- Will this be the scene on Sunday ni...wait, what...we need to go backstage! As the show is just about to go off the air, we see AJ Styles stood in a corridor, talking to someone on his cellphone. As he says his goodbyes to whoever is on the other line and ends the call, he's suddenly nailed from behind...by Nick Dinsmore! Soon the other three members of Team IRON emerge onto the scene, and stomp away on the fallen Styles, who's now hurting. Dinsmore pulls Styles up, and pushes him up against the wall...telling him that as 'Mr TNA', AJ is very high on the IRON hitlist. And AJ can consider this his first warning. Modest steps and nails a right hand to the ribs, as Dinsmore rams Styles' head into the wall...the foursome then walking off, as the scene fades on AJ Styles, left slumped on the floor from the beating. OR: 66 Notes: AJ Styles lost overness from this segment. Nick Dinsmore gained overness from this segment. OR: 72 Attendance: 3510 T.V Rating : 2.89
