Indepth Results:

 

1. X Division Match: Jason Cross vs. Kid Romeo

 

WHY: The only history that these two have with each other are that they both participated in a four corners elimination match that also included Paul London (who eventually won the match) and C.M. Punk almost a month ago on May 21. Romeo recently returned to TNA after an almost year long abscence from the promotion and is looking to make an impact like only his arrogant, yet quite popular, self can. This would, in my opinion, be a teriffic opening match for this show.

 

MATCH: Highlights:

 

- Romeo hits a Wheelbarrow Bulldog and then a Catapult Headscissors Takeover for 2!

- Cross takes Romeo out with a Flying Corkscrew Somersault Topè!

- Cross attempts a Dragon Suplex, but Romeo hits two elbow smashes in an attempt to escape. However, Cross ducks a third and Romeo does a 180º due to the momentum and ends up being Northern Lights Suplexed by Cross for 2.

- Cross attempts a Flying Crossbody Block, but Romeo catches him in midair and turns it into an awesome Swinging Powerslam for 2!

- Cross applies a Dragon Sleeper and to try to escape it, Romeo runs toward the nearest ringpost and climbs up the turnbuckles. Cross, though, pulls him back toward the ring and - at the same time - sits down and delivers a picture-perfect Inverted DDT!

- Cross hits the Cross Star Press (Standing Shooting Star Press) and then climbs up to the top buckle and signals for the Crossfire (Flying Shooting Star Leg Drop). However, Romeo gets back up and crotches him before climbing out to the apron and hitting a Springboard into Leaping Headscissors Takeover, sending Romeo forward somersaulting off of the turnbuckle and down to the mat below! Romeo covers for 2.

- Romeo attempts the Kiss Goodnight (Kryptonic Krunch), but Cross' weight is too much and he flips back forward and then lifts Romeo into a crooked, draped position over his back. Cross hits an awesome looking Running Draped Back-to-Belly Crooked Slam (like Mike Modest does to Tony Jones during their WWF/E dark match in Beyond the Mat]) for 2!

 

The finish comes when Cross attempts his Vertical Drop Brainbuster Suplex, but Romeo realizes that if he hits it, it will probably be the end for him, so he fights out of it and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker before bodyslamming Cross and climbing up to the top buckle. However, Cross gets up, crotches him, climbs up onto the buckles himself, and attempts his signature Super Tomakazi. However, Romeo fights out of the move and hits a Full Nelson into a Forward-Flying Sitout Inverted Powerbomb for the pinfall win!

 

This bout is generall considered to to be the Match of the Night.

 

2. Interview w/ X Champion Chris Sabin - leads to confrontation w/ Frankie Kazarian

 

WHY: Last week, Frankie Kazarian won a tremendous non-title match over X Champion Chris Sabin. I absolutely love the idea for this feud and if I was booking the show, I'd definitely continue building a feud between these two.

 

INTERVIEW: Backstage, Goldylocks is interviewing NWA-TNA X Champion Chris "The Future" Sabin and when she asks him about his surprising loss to Frankie Kazarian last week. Sabin says that the loss was a fluke and that he's still the undisputed X Champion and that he won't be losing that title anytime soon. Suddenly, Kazarian enters the picture and confronts Sabin. He tells Sabin that his win over him last week was anything but a fluke and that the result saw him win because he is the better man. The two get into a heated argument and security is forced to break it up.

 

3. Mike Tenay apologizes to the fans and announces that David Young & Sonny Siaki (along with their valet, Tracy) missed their flight and won't be able to wrestle America's Most Wanted for the NWA World Tag Team Titles tonight, so instead of that match, we'll see Elix Skipper vs. James Storm. Tenay mentions that Young & Siaki will be at next week's NWA-TNA PPV, though. I'd rather Skipper vs. Storm and have it bring about The Amazing Red's return (see below) than have the Young/Siaki vs. AMW match that TNA announced on its last show occur. What I'd do next week is have Young & Siaki come to the show expecting to wrestle AMW, only to be told that - since they didn't attend the PPV last week (anotherwards, this week) - they have to earn back that title shot by beating a team like Konnan & Ron Killings, who I put over in my fantasy booking for this show (see below, also).

 

3. Elix Skipper vs. James Storm (w/ Chris Harris)

 

WHY: For the last few months, America's Most Wanted (Harris & Storm) and Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, & Ki) have been feuding with each other and last week in the first-ever Steel Cage match, AMW beat Triple X to win the NWA World Tag Team Titles. With this feud having lasted several months already, I figure that having Kid Romeo ally with AMW would add some more interest in this already heated rivalry. I was originally going to use Frankie Kazarian for this position, but since it seems like he's now getting involved in a feud with Chris Sabin, I decided to leave him with his program with Sabin.

 

Then, The Amazing Red was my second choice, since he's wrestled several of the Triple X members in NWA-TNA (and other promotions) before. Although he is currently injured, I decided that having Red return and ally with AMW was a smart move to continue the heat in this feud. I'd make sure, though, that he wouldn't have to take any serious bumps and that for the most part, it'd be the Triple X members who would be taking the bumps. Red has wrestled all of the Triple X members in some form or another during his tenure in NWA-TNA and on his last appearance in the promotion (on May 21), he teamed with Justin Credible and Slash to beat all three members of Triple X in a six-man tag team match.

 

Since Harris has been the more prominent singles wrestler in NWA-TNA so far, I booked Storm so that Storm's exposure and interest level with the fans is brought up to those of his partner, which gives their tag team as a whole more credibility.

 

MATCH: The finish comes when Ki and Daniels run out to the ring and Ki distracts the referee, while Daniels enters the ring and attempts the Last Rites on Storm. However, Storm surprises him by lifting him up onto his shoulders and hitting the Eight Second Ride (Fireman's Carry into Stunner). Danies rolls out of the ring and when Storm turns back around, he is greeted by a gut kick from Skipper, who follows by setting Storm up for the Play of the Day. Storm, though, lifts Skipper up onto his shoulders in an Electric Chair hold, only to have Skipper counter with an Inverted Huracanrana. Skipper then sits Storm on the top ring rope and tries his rope-walk huracanrana, but Storm, sitting on the ropes, pushes Skipper off of the ropes and sends him flying out to ringside, taking out Daniels and Ki in the process.

 

Once the three Triple X members get back up, Storm tries a Suicide Dive through the ropes, but the three Triple X members catch him and slam him down on the concrete floor. They then begin beating down on him as the referee rules the bout a DQ win for Storm. Triple X roll Storm back into the ring and continue to beat on him until Chris Harris runs out and tries to save his partner. He takes out Daniels and Skipper, but Ki knocks him down from behind, allowing Triple X to regain the advantage. Together, they beat down AMW until The Amazing Red, returning to NWA-TNA, runs out and assists AMW. He hits some of his signature moves (but doesn't take too many stiff bumps, since - like Ki - he's currently injured) and thereby sends Daniels and Skipper out of the ring, leaving Ki (who is currently unable to wrestle due to an injury) alone. Ki, though, smartly scurries out of the ring and retreats backstage with his two fellow Triple X members, all of whom are clearly frustrated after being punked out by Red. Back in the ring, Red helps Harris and Storm back to their feet and it's clear that a new alliance has been made.

 

This sets up for a series of matches between various combinations of the team of The Amazing Red & America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) and Triple X (Christopher Daniels, Elix Skipper, & Low Ki).

5. Abyss & Kid Kash vs. Erik Watts & Trinity

 

WHY: For the last month, Kash has been feuding with Watts & Trinity and even suffered an upset when he lost to Trinity in a one-on-one match. He and Watts battled last week and Kash won when the masked man, Abyss, attacked Watts behind the referee's back, setting him up for Kash to easily pin him. Abyss debuted a few ago by attacking Watts. Since then, he has continued targeting Watts and therefore has aided Kash several times. If I was booking the upcoming show, I'd have him finally compete in an official match and team with Kash to take on Watts & Trinity. Plus, in his latest "From the Inside" column, NWA-TNA employee Jeremy Borash announced that Abyss would in fact be making his in-ring debut on this upcoming week's show. Trinity can sufficiently hold her own against Kash, as she's proved before, so this match would give Abyss a chance to attempt to physically resolve his problems with Watts.

 

MATCH: Kash and Trinity focus on each other for most of the match, while Abyss and Watts primarily grapple against each other. Highlights:

 

- Trinity hits an Apron-Dive Huracanrana on Kash.

- Kash attempts The Bankroll (Fisherman's Suplex Lift into Headbreaker), but Trinity counters it with an armdrag and follows with a Huracanrana!

- Watts hits a Flying Plancha onto Abyss, taking the big man out at ringside!

- Trinity hits a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover on Abyss.

- Watts hits a Fameasser on Abyss for 2.

- Trinity hits a Run-the-Ropes Tornado DDT on Kash for 2.

- Abyss hits a Powerbomb into a Gory Guerrero Special on Watts for 2.

 

The finish comes when Abyss tries to whip Watts from one ringpost to the opposite one, but Watts holds onto Abyss' hand, grabs his head, and tries to Russian Leg Sweep him into the ringpost (the one that they were just at). However, Watts isn't strong enough to perform the move, though, and Abyss lifts him up and hits his Swinging Sidewalk Slam, followed by a Flying Leg Drop for the pinfall win. Abyss leaves the ring area (along w/ Kash) without unmasking.

 

6. Justin Credible/Perry Saturn confrontation - Jerry Lynn also comes out

 

WHY: A week and a half ago on NWA-TNA's PPV, Credible attacked Saturn during Saturn's match against Japan's Kenzo Suzuke. The two continued brawling after the bout was ruled a No Contest. Meanwhile, Credible and Lynn have been feuding for the last month and their rivalry is really heating up at this point. I figure that having Lynn be forced to stay away from Credible for a week would increase the heat in that feud and to do something with the Credible/Saturn feud, too.

 

CONFRONTATION: Perry Saturn comes out and trashes Justin Credible for interfering in his match a few weeks ago. He calls out Credible (who grants his request and comes out to the ring) and challenges him to a match next week. Credible comes out and says that he already is busy with his feud against Jerry Lynn. However, Saturn makes a deal with him and asks that if Lynn is banned from ringside, would he agree to the bout? After re-thinking it, Credible agrees, but reiterates that Lynn must be banned from ringside or else he won't wrestle the match.

 

7. Hard 10 Tournament Final Round Match: New Jack vs. The Sandman

 

WHY: These two are scheduled to wrestle this week in the final round of the Hard 10 Tournament, so there's really no way I can change that, since it's a tournament and the final match was booked for this show for awhile, I presume. As for why I'm involving Mike Sanders and Slash in the bout - Four weeks ago, New Jack beat Slash to advance in the Hard 10 Tournament. The next week, After a match between Jack's tag team partner, Shark Boy, and X Champion Chris Sabin, Sanders attacked Jack. Then, two weeks ago, Jack beat Sanders to advance to the final round of this tournament thanks to Shark Boy's help. Jack and Sandman once were allies in the Extreme Revolution stable, but that broke up a few weeks ago and he and Sandman therefore went their separate ways, but will cross paths in this match.

 

NOTE: The scoring in this match will be done in this form: (a-b) when New Jack's score = a and Sandman's score = b.

 

MATCH: Before the bout, the two shake hands with each other, thereby displaying excellent sportsmanship. This is a typical ECW-style brawl with little actual wrestling and a lot of brawling with weapons. Highlights:

 

a trash can lid, a cookie sheet, crowbar, ring bell, steel chair, guardrail, ring steps, a golf club, computer keyboard,

 

- Sandman flies through the ring ropes with a Suicide Dive to take out Jack at ringside!

- Jack swings a crutch and hits a garbage can that he has put over Sandman's head with it. This gives Jack 1 point. (1-0)

- Sandman, standing on the apron with Jack, applies an inverted facelock and leaps down onto the floor, bringing Jack down with him and DDTing Jack's head into the apron while he (Sandman) lands down on the ringside floor! Sandman gains 1 point. (1-1)

- With both men standing on the ring steps, Sandman piledrives Jack onto the structure for a second point. (1-2)

- Sandman White Russian Leg Sweeps Jack into the ringside guardrail for yet another point. (1-3)

- Jack lays the garbage can at ringside, climbs onto the apron, applies an inverted facelock on Sandman (who's standing on the ringside floor), and delivers a Tornado DDT that drives Sandman face-first into the garbage can for 1 more point! (2-3)

- Sandman Sidewalk Slams Jack off of the apron and through a ringside table for 5 points! (2-8) He then rolls Jack back into the ring.

- With both men now in the ring, Sandman whips Jack into the opposite turnbuckle and charges after him, but Jack leaps onto the middle buckle, springs backwards, and knocks out the incoming Sandman with a surprisingly decent looking back elbow. Jack then goes out to ringside and gets a staple gun from a fan and uses it to staple Sandman's forehead open! Holy Sh*t! Jack gains 1 point. (3-8)

- Jack, standing next to Sandman, (both are standing on the apron) grabs the back of his foe's head leaps off of the apron, sending Sandman through a ringside table with a Neckbreaker off of the apron! Jack gains 5 points and ties it up at 8 points each! (8-8) Then, when the two get back up, Jack Front Suplexes Sandman face-first onto the steel guardrail to gain another point. (9-8) The two then brawl into the crowd, where Jack uses a crowbar to bash across Sandman's back, bringing his score up to 10. (10-8) Knowing that he only has to score one more point to win the bout, Jack grabs a steel chair and looks to chairshot Sandman, but Sandman ducks and when Jack charges at him again, drop toe holds him, causing him to fall face-first into the chair and the dirty, concrete floor. (10-9) A fan then give Sandman a Budweiser beer can, which he opens up, gulps down quickly, and then spits the contents of into Jack's face before using the can to punch down Jack to gain another point, thereby tying the bout up at 10! (10-10) The two then gradually brawl back towards the ring, where Jack gains back control and drops Sandman out of a Fireman's Carry so that he lands face-first on the ring apron, giving Jack another point. (11-10) Jack then rolls Sandman back into the ring

- Sandman hits a Running Tree of Woe Sliding Dropkick (a la Tommy Dreamer or [Yoshihiro] Tajiri when they were in ECW) that knocks a steel chair into Jack's face to gain another point. (11-11)

- Sandman whips Jack into the opposite corner and then charges toward him, but Jack steps forward a few feet and catches Sandman with a Hiptoss that sends him crashing into the ringpost! Jack gains 1 point. (12-11) Sandman tumbles through the ropes and out to ringside. Jack exits the ring, sets up a table at ringside, and lays Sandman on it. Jack then climbs back into the ring and onto the top turnbuckle so that he's facing out towards the table that Sandman is on. It looks like Jack is going to hit a Flying Splash out of the ring and through the table, but before he can do so, Mike Sanders & Slash run out to the ring. Slash climbs up onto the ring apron and distracts the referee (along with New Jack), allowing for Sanders to enter the ring, sneak up behind Jack, and crotch him on the top turnbuckle. Sanders quickly exits the ring at about the same time that Slash stops distracting the referee. Sandman now gets up off of the table and - after grabbing a computer keyboard from a fan - climbs up onto the apron and, while holding the keyboard in front of Jack's face, Bulldogs Jack off of the apron and through the table, driving his foe's face into both the keyboard and the table in the process! Sandman gains five more points and therefore wins the bout and the tournament, 12-16!

 

After the bout, Sandman leaves following a short celebration and Shark Boy then comes out and helps New Jack backstage.

 

8. In-ring promo by Shane Douglas w/ "The Sinister Minister" James Mitchell; Raven gets involved

 

WHY: Two weeks ago, Douglas made his debut in NWA-TNA by attacking Raven and helping cost him an NWA World Heavyweight Title Match against AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett. A week later, the two brawled during the show's main event and then last week, Douglas & Glenn Gilberti (a.k.a. Disco Inferno) fought to a No Contest with Raven & Jeff Jarrett when Douglas introduced the man who he was referring to in a promo a few weeks before when he had made "a deal with the devil" - "The Sinister Minister" James Mitchell, who threw a fireball at Raven as the show went off of the air. This segment will feature the aftermath and repercussions of Mitchell's debut.

 

PROMO/CONFRONTATION: Shane Douglas comes out rips into the crowd and Raven by bragging about how he had given a hint to them and Raven about who he was bringing in, but neither party got the hint and Raven had to pay for that mistake. He then introduces his devilish new manager, James Mitchell, who comes out to the ring, enters it, and hugs Douglas, his supposed new client. Douglas then vows to finish the quest that he set out on a decade (well nine years, but Douglas can get away with a one year long difference) ago - to destroy the illustrious history of the NWA and its World Heavyweight Title - and says that together, he and the evilest man in wrestling, James Mitchell, will accomplish that feat.

 

Raven's music hits and out he comes, wearing some bandages to cover part of his face, due to the fireball attack from last week. He says that before he gets to Douglas, he wants to talk about Mitchell. He says that Douglas called him the "evilest man in wrestling," but that Douglas must've forgotten his time in ECW, since its quite common knowledge that no man can ever be as evil as Raven can be. At this point, Raven turns toward the crowd and does his old crucifix pose, with his arms widespread. The crowd pops as Raven turns his attention back to Douglas. He says that if Douglas wants to find out what evil truly is, Raven would be more than happy to give him a first rate education in Evil 101 via a "Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun" when he returns to in-ring work after his wounds heel from the fireball attack.

 

Raven turns his back on Douglas as the fans achknowledge their interest in seeing such a match, but that turns out to be a mistake, as Douglas attacks him from behind and begins repeatedly stomping on him. He hits the Pittsburgh Plunge (Fishsermanbuster) and then attempts the Franchiser (Dropdown Shoulder Jawbreaker), but Raven delivers several elbow smashes to the side of Douglas' head to escape the hold and then runs off of the ropes and knocks Douglas down with a lunging Forearm Smash! Raven starts relentlessly assaulting Douglas in the corner, but Mitchell gets his attention for a moment and distracts him long enough for Douglas to pull his signature metal chain out of his boot and attack Raven with it from behind. Douglas continues beating on Raven and choking him with the chain before exiting the ring with Mitchell and heading backstage, leaving Raven (who was already injured before this segment due to the fireball attack) lying in a pool of his own blood. Douglas and Mitchell exchange evil laughs towards Raven's direction as they disappear from view through the curtain.

 

When a woozy Raven finally makes it back up to his feet, he receives a standing ovation from the fans before heading backstage.

 

9. The Gathering (C.M. Punk & Julio Dinero) vs. Konnan & Ron Killings

 

WHY: Two weeks ago on PPW, Punk costed London his X Divison Title Match against champion Chris Sabin when he DDT'd Punk, allowing Sabin to easily pin him to retain his title. On the other hand, Konnan nor Killings have wrestled on an NWA-TNA show in the last two weeks, so they need to get back onto TV. I think it's pretty logical to have The Gathering - who is Raven's backup force - wrestle against Konnan & Killings.

 

MATCH: Highlights:

 

- Killings tries a stiff kick, but Punk catches his leg and delivers a Neckbreaker onto it, which is a signature move of his. Punk follows by attempting the Punkhandle (Pumphandle) Piledriver, but Killings escapes by lifting Punk into a draped position over his back and hittinig a stiff Double-Leg Slam and then follows with a Handspring Leg Drop for 2!

- Konnan ducks a Thrust Kick and hits a gut kick followed by a Sitout Face Plant on Dinero for 2.

- Dinero tries the Dream Theater (Tornado DDT into Cutter) on Konnan, but Konnan refuses to be taken down and instead brings Dinero back down onto the mat (after he has swung around in the process of trying to do the move) and hits a T-Bone Suplex.

- Killings attempts his Inverted Russian Leg Sweep, but Punk counters with a Jawbreaker and then performs a bridging German Suplex for 2.

 

The finish comes when Punk climbs up to the top buckle and signals for a Moonsault onto Konnan, but Paul London (looking for revenge from one and a half weeks ago) runs out and - from the ringside concrete floor - throws a chair at Punk, knocking him into a crotched position on the top buckle. Konnan gets back up to his feet, climbs up to the top buckle where Punk is, and hits a Spider German Suplex. He then applies the Tequila Sunrise for the submission victory.

 

After the bout, Punk sees London in the entrance aisleway smiling and becomes incensed with anger. The two stare each other down as the screen fades into a backstage segment...

 

10. Backstage Promo by Abyss

 

WHY: The masked man, who is apparently named, "Abyss," has been feuding with Erik Watts (as described above) since he debuted about a month ago. This promo continues the feud between these two and increases the heat, intensity, and interest in the rivalry.

 

PROMO: Abyss - wearing his mask - says that he proved tonight that he was more than comfortable dismantling the "rookie" Erik Watts. He says that he's been watching NWA-TNA's PPVs recently and was disgusted with the way that Watts suddenly burst onto the scene and became such a big shot. He came to NWA-TNA to teach Watts some much needed respect and says taht he succeeded in beginning to do so tonight. He says that he was proud to team with Kid Kash and that he can understand why the fans dislike Kash. He says that Kash has been forced to watch his own back for three different people who've had their eyes on him - Goldylocks, Trinity, and Watts - and that he therefore has been caused to do some things he wouldn't normally want to do (such as beat up women like Goldylocks or Trinity). To sum up his reasons for coming to NWA-TNA, Abyss says that he's here to teach Watts how to pay his dues in this business and to support Kid Kash, who up until now was being targeted non-stop by three different foes.

 

Before he ends his promo, Abyss unmasks and reveals himself as the innovative, former-ECW, WWF/E, and XPW superstar "Vicious" Vic Grimes, who apparently has decided to jump to NWA-TNA due to XPW's recent hiatus!

 

11. A 10 minute clip of Mike Tenay's interview with STING that was conducted two shows ago is aired.

 

12. 2 vs. 1 Handicap Match: D'Lo Brown vs. The Harris Brothers (Don Harris & Ron Harris)

 

WHY: D'Lo and AJ Styles were tag team partners a month ago, but now they are bloodthirsty enemies. Even before he won won the NWA World Heavyweight Title two weeks ago in a three-way match that also included Jeff Jarrett and Raven, Styles has squared off with D'Lo a few times. Three and a half weeks ago, they had a teriffic match where D'Lo pulled out several moves that most fans weren't even aware he was able to do! Then, last week, an impromptu brawl between the two resulted in Vince Russo helping Styles beat down D'Lo with a chair. D'Lo has no love loss for Russo, seeing as how one week ago, a snide comment from Russo resulted in D'Lo attacking him, only to then be attacked by Styles. Since The Harris Brothers are both uppercard heels on Russo's side, it seems logical that Russo would use his creative power to book D'Lo in this match.

 

MATCH: The Harris Brothers use their numbers advantage to keep D'Lo in their control for much of the bout, although D'Lo does find some openings and uses them smartly by going on the offense. Nonetheless, he is never able to gain complete control of the match and is always looking behind his back for one of The Harris Brothers to attack him.

 

The finish comes when D'Lo counters a Powerbomb by Don into a Huracanrana and then knocks him out of the ring with a leaping heelkick. He turns around and ducks an incoming Big Boot from Ron and hits him with the Sky High (Rydeen Bomb). He goes for the pin, but AJ Styles runs out, climbs up onto the apron, and distracts both him and the referee. D'Lo gets back up and argues with AJ, but when Styles swings his NWA World Heavyweight Title belt, D'Lo ducks and it hits the referee, knocking him out. D'Lo then, grabs the ring ropes and uses them to catapult Styles into the ring via a sunset flip. He repeatedly punches Styles and then tries to whip him into the ropes, but Styles reverses and whips D'Lo. Ron is back up by this point and because D'Lo is coming right toward him, lifts up his opponent and tries a spinebuster, but D'Lo uses the momentum to swing himself around and drill Ron with a Swinging DDT. Styles then charges at him, but D'Lo knocks him down with a leaping heelkick. However, D'Lo is finally grounded by a running lariat from Don, who has now re-entered the ring. The Harris Brothers now hold D'Lo (each by his arms), while AJ climbs up to the top buckle and prepares to deliver some move onto D'Lo. However, before he can, Jeff Jarrett, runs out, climbs up onto the apron, and pushes AJ off of the top buckle and down onto the ringside concrete below. D'Lo hiptosses Don and then drags Ron towards the ropes and whips him towards the opposite set, causing him to release his hold on his arm in the process. Ron bounces off and attacks with a Big Boot, but D'Lo ducks and he hits Don, knocking him out of the ring. Ron turns back around and charges D'Lo, but receives a Sky High, followed by a Lo' Down (Flying Frog Splash) for the pinfall win by D'Lo!

 

Meanwhile, Jarrett is brawling with Styles in the entrance aisleway. Jarrett delivers The Stroke on Styles onto the NWA World Heavyweight Title, which is laying on the floor. However, when D'Lo wins the match, Jarrett turns his attention to the ring and puts his arms up to celebrate D'Lo's victory. Styles uses that moment intelligently, though, as he grabs his title and runs back to the locker room. Jarrett turns around to see Styles running backstage, but realizes he can't catch up to him, so he goes and celebrates with D'Lo, who has by now exited the ring. The duo of D'Lo and Jarrett head back to the locker room victorious as The Harris Brothers - who has recovered by now - lean over the ring ropes and yell in frustration toward them.

 

 

 

Matches of the Night (in order from best to worst): Cross/Romeo, The Gathering (Dinero/Punk) vs. Konnan/Killings, Abyss/Kash vs. Watts/Trinity, Skipper vs. Storm, New Jack vs. Sandman, D'Lo vs. The Harris Brothers (Handicap Match)

Yea........ what he said...

[LucharesuFan619 0]

If you look at the past NWA-TNA results, the NWA world title ain't defended each week. If it was, it wouldn't mean too much. Why? It makes a title more special if it's only defended on certain occasions

 

"Abyss is Vic Grimes? Oh God No."

 

Grimes is a friggin' awesome worker, dude. Works any style.

 

Red is still injured, to my knowledge, but I imagine he could still do some non bumping stuff, as long as he's careful, whcih is why I used him.

 

"Gathering vs. Truth/Konnan? Gathering are just about faces, so why a face vs. face tag match?"

 

Julio Dinero will probably never become a face. He's a natural heel. Punk is going to be feuding w/ London. Why else would London have screwed him a few weeks ago? So, out of those two, who would you rather see as a face - London or Punk? You can't have both be face, so I'd pick London as the face and Punk as the heel.
