BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, NEW DIRECTOR OF AUTHORITY VINCE RUSSO PROMISES A NEW RANK AND FILE! After Wednesday's TNA Pay-Per-View, the TNA landscape will change drastically, thanks to Vince Russo! Featured on the card, we'll find out if Chris Harris can become the NEW NWA World Heavyweight Champion as he faces Jeff Jarrett. Speaking of the gold, a true number-one contender will also be established as AJ Styles takes on Abyss in a Ladder Match with a contract hanging above the ring! Plus, 10 TNA superstars will compete in a wild battle royal to not only settle feuds, but establish a true superstar power ranking in TNA! WILL THE WILDCAT BECOME WORLD CHAMPION? NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH CHAMPION JEFF JARRETT VS. "WILDCAT" CHRIS HARRIS Is the Wildcat ready for what Jeff Jarrett has in store for him? Will Chris Harris finally realize his boyhood dream, or will the veteran Jarrett hold onto the title? NWA Director of Authority Vince Russo has cast doubt on whether the America's Most Wanted member is prepared for the NWA Champion at his best. But the Wildcat thinks otherwise, and is bound and determined to step into the ring with Jarrett this Wednesday night with the gold on the line! LADDER MATCH FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER THE PHENOMENAL AJ STYLES VS. ABYSS While Jarrett vs. Harris will determine the NWA World Champion, AJ Styles and the monster Abyss will continue their epic and brutal series this Wednesday to crown a true number-one contender! Hanging above the ring will be a contract, and the Phenomenal One and Abyss will go to war in a Ladder Match to own it! Styles and Abyss' recent battles have gotten rave reviews, but without a doubt both superstars will take it to a new level with a steel ladder this Wednesday night! 10-SUPERSTAR "RUMBLE FOR RANK" Featuring Sonny Siaki, D'Lo Brown, Simon Diamond, Konnan, Ron "The Truth" Killings, Kid Kash, Glenn Gilberti, David Young, Johnny Swinger and Michael Shane On March 3, it was a 10 superstar tag team match - but nothing was settled! This Wednesday night, those 10 TNA superstars will return to fight it out in a "Rumble For Rank" battle royal to determine the power standings in TNA! In an effort to settle several scores, Russo has made it every man for himself, meaning alliances and friendships will mean little in this brawl. The final two competitors will go to a pinfall to claim the win! "THE FRANCHISE" SHANE DOUGLAS VS. JAMES STORM OF AMW It was a superkick from James Storm that cost Shane Douglas a recent match against Chris Harris, and this Wednesday night "The Franchise" looks to repay the America's Most Wanted member! With The Wildcat no doubt occupied with his World Title match against Jeff Jarrett, will he be able to watch his partner's back against the rest of the New Franchise? Tune in and find out! X DIVISION MATCH FRANKIE KAZARIAN VS. "PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER Frankie Kazarian promised last week he would prove to Team NWA captain Jerry Lynn he was wrong for overlooking him for the X Cup - and he did it by beating the X division pioneer. This Wednesday night, Kazarian looks to do the same with another Team NWA member, "Primetime" Elix Skipper! Two of the X division's finest will compete in what will surely be a high-flying, aerial showdown! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWA Director of Authority Vince Russo has cast doubt on whether the America's Most Wanted member is prepared for the NWA Champion at his best. But the Wildcat thinks otherwise, and is bound and determined to step into the ring with Jarrett this Wednesday night with the gold on the line! Jarrett's winning, no two ways about it. If Jarrett doesn't win, they've booked themselves into a hole, as Harris is not nearly over enough, good enough, or even worthy enough of holding the NWA World title. The question is, though: How much interference will there be? LADDER MATCH FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER THE PHENOMENAL AJ STYLES VS. ABYSS While Jarrett vs. Harris will determine the NWA World Champion, AJ Styles and the monster Abyss will continue their epic and brutal series this Wednesday to crown a true number-one contender! Hanging above the ring will be a contract, and the Phenomenal One and Abyss will go to war in a Ladder Match to own it! Styles and Abyss' recent battles have gotten rave reviews, but without a doubt both superstars will take it to a new level with a steel ladder this Wednesday night! Should be very good, since AJ has been in more TNA ladder matches than anybody else...but where the fuck are the Tag belts? Shouldn't both men still lay claim to them? I think Russo should at least come out and say "the winner of this match will be the number one contender to the World title, but the loser gets half of the Tag belts." Might make it interesting, I think, to see Abyss try to decide whether he wants to do as Jarrett says and get the Tag titles, or go for Jarrett's own World title. 10-SUPERSTAR "RUMBLE FOR RANK" Featuring Sonny Siaki, D'Lo Brown, Simon Diamond, Konnan, Ron "The Truth" Killings, Kid Kash, Glenn Gilberti, David Young, Johnny Swinger and Michael Shane On March 3, it was a 10 superstar tag team match - but nothing was settled!

In an effort to settle several scores, Russo has made it every man for himself, meaning alliances and friendships will mean little in this brawl. The final two competitors will go to a pinfall to claim the win! They couldn't say a 10-Man Gauntlet, since that's what this is? I like the Rankings idea, as long as they stick to it. "THE FRANCHISE" SHANE DOUGLAS VS. JAMES STORM OF AMW It was a superkick from James Storm that cost Shane Douglas a recent match against Chris Harris, and this Wednesday night "The Franchise" looks to repay the America's Most Wanted member! With The Wildcat no doubt occupied with his World Title match against Jeff Jarrett, will he be able to watch his partner's back against the rest of the New Franchise? Tune in and find out! Going to be a terrible, terrible match. Shane's only got three moves in him (the somersault neck-snap, the full nelson Camel Clutch, and the Fisherman's Buster), and James Storm is "meh." X DIVISION MATCH FRANKIE KAZARIAN VS. "PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER Frankie Kazarian promised last week he would prove to Team NWA captain Jerry Lynn he was wrong for overlooking him for the X Cup - and he did it by beating the X division pioneer. This Wednesday night, Kazarian looks to do the same with another Team NWA member, "Primetime" Elix Skipper! Two of the X division's finest will compete in what will surely be a high-flying, aerial showdown! Read that last line. When was the last time an X-Division match was high-flying aside from the standard signature spots? Sorry, but when I think "high-flying, aerial" matches, I don't think about 200 different ways to hit an armdrag. Should be a tight show, as long as Frankie remains working as a heel.

Astro101 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 I dunno if Russo's gonna help Jarrett. He hasn't grown in his beard yet. I just pray one of these days that there would be a clean clean clean heavyweight match. Nice to see Kazarian another week in TNA. Wouldn't mind seeing him facing all of Team NWA, especially with Sabin for continuity. I like the ranking idea, but they have to put it to good use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a great way to devalue your titles. Give the loser a belt for the heck of it. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
