One and Only NWA: TNA March 10th Thread

Recommended Posts

Yes, you bitch. Not all of the matches are gonna be good, but you should order because it's probably better than the last three our four weeks of TNA programming.

Thank God for that BPS. Also since this was already taped, how long is the ICPs match?

I may order a replay, if only to see some of these Canadian guys. Petey Williams is being announced from Windsor, Ontario, which is just a few hours away, where a bunch of my family lives.

 

I just bugged my brother for $20 for a brick of video tapes, so I'll have to wait to see if he feels like shelling out $60 on wrestling this week.

Teddy is such a spot machine LOL. This first match is an absolute spotfest which Aguilia tried to hold together. Teddy has fucked up about 5 moves including that DDT. The SSP elbow was sweet though.

So its a repeat posting for the last X -Cup. 1 spot happens, so everyone generally multiplies it to a gross number.

 

 

From what I've heard of live notes: The art/Aguila match blew the others away.

From the Torch...

 

 

NWA-TNA PPV

MARCH 10, 2003

LIVE FROM NASHVILLE, TENN.

 

Mike Tenay and Don West introduced the show and recapped the hype and ran down the rules for America's Cup II.

 

1 -- TEDDY HART (w/Scott D'Amore) vs. MR. AGUILA

 

They felt each other out for the first couple of minutes with some nice hesitant brief exchanges. Tenay said Team AAA had a huge advantage having been in an America's Cup tournament already. D'Amore held Aguila's leg a couple of times, giving Hart a chance to take control at 4:00. Hart did a double springboard moonsault onto Aguila at ringside. Hart them grabbed at his knee after landing. Aguila began working over the leg. Hart came back with a springboard huracanrana at 7:30, but kept favoring his knee. Aguila scored a two count after a top rope crossbody block. D'Amore knocked Aguila off the top rope at 8:30. Hart hit a rolling DDT off the top rope followed by a Hart Attack #2 (a twisting shooting star press into an elbowdrop).

 

WINNER: Hart at 8:55.

 

STAR RATING: **1/4 -- Good psychology, well paced, with some nice highspots.

 

-Juventud Guererra cut a promo backstage who said even though they're down a match, they will retain America's X Cup.

 

2 -- JUVENTUD GUERERRA vs. PETEY WILLIAMS

 

WINNER: Juventud at 9:05 after a Juvi Driver.

 

STAR RATING: **1/4 -- Another good match. More highspot orieinted than the first match, but solid stuff with some nice near falls.

 

-Backstage Teddy Hart winced in pai over his knee injury. Hart demanded that the trainer tape up his knee because he didn't want to quit, but D'Amore replaced him with Johnny Devine.

WTF, are the people from The Torch retarted? Devine and Negro has been the best match at about ** 1/2 at my book so far.

3 -- JOHNNY DEVINE vs. ABYSMO NEGRO

 

WINNER: Devine at 6:03.

 

STAR RATING: *3/4 -- Solid six minute match. More highspots, but paced well.

 

-Backstage Glenn Gilberti inteviewed David Young psychologist-style about his fear of clowns. Kid Kash barged in and told Gilberti they have to get serious about things.

 

4 -- JACK EVANS vs. HECTOR GARZA

 

Evans did some break dancing in the ring before the match. He shouldn't do that. The announcers played up that Garza was the favorite. By 3:00, after Evans proved he wasn't a pushover, Garza began to show frustration. Evans hit a great double flip off the apron onto Garza at ringside at 5:15. Garza missed his twisting moonsault off the top rope. Evans then hit a twisting flip of his own for a two count. Garza came back with a moonsault for the win.

 

WINNER: Garza at 6:40.

 

STAR RATING: *3/4 -- Another solid six minute match. The first 45 minutes of this show features four nice matches with overall crisp wrestling exchanges, but no real high drama given the lack of storyline depth to any of the match-ups and the 6-8 minute timeframe for each match.

 

-Hudson interviewed James Storm and Chris Harris. Harris said he'll be ready for his title shot next week. When I watch Harris's promos, I think I'm watching a good World Class Championship Wrestling promo from 1985. They're not bad, but there's just something about him that requires a gimmick makeover to fit his delivery style better. He just doesn't have any pizazz or hook to his charisma behind the mic.

 

-A video feature aired on the Harris title match storyline including Vince Russo footage.

 

5 -- JACK EVANS & TEDDY HART vs. JUVENTUD GUERRERA & ABYSMO NEGRO

 

WINNER: Juventud & Negro at 7:20 when Juvi applied the Juvilock.

 

STAR RATING: **3/4 -- The best showcase of dazzling highspots on TNA in a while. It managed to fit in a bunch of cool spots without being just a series of random moves. An early dropkick by Juvi on Evans was a killer. Hart and Evans both hit amazing twisting flips off the top rope late in the match. Thoroughly entertaining and the type of match America's Cup needs. At just seven minutes, it felt a bit rushed, thus it stops short of the three star level.

For what this is worth...

I talked to a bunch of the Canadian team this weekend...

And they basically said..."Total miscommunication".

I could have told anyone that. It was a retarded concept to begin with...take young Canadian wrestlers with NO knowledge of working Lucha...put them in with 3 of 4 guys with no knowledge of working ANYTHING but Lucha...= UH oh....

I felt bad for the Canadians...as they looked incredible this weekend at CZW and Williams is awesome and Evans and Hart have stolen TWO weekends worth of Northeast indies and Evans' work in the ECCW cup was show stealing...

I didn't even order this show...I knew better...

Evans said..."I hope people don't think I suck after that show!!!"

He is an ultra nice guy...don't paint him as sucking due to this stuff!!!

Glad to read that the show is better now that they are doing more familiar TAGS.

Remember TNA even managed to totally fuck up Ebessan's debut....
