Garth 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Heres the line up for anyone wondering: DEADLY DRAW MATCH FOR THE NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AJ STYLES VS. WILDCAT CHRIS HARRIS VS. THE TRUTH VS. RAVEN A new and innovative match in TNA Wrestling, this Wednesday night will truly be a first. D.O.A Vince Russo will attempt to end the World Title picture chaos when the Deadly Draw Match takes place. Prior to the PPV, Harris, Truth and Raven will draw numbers one through three. The first superstar faces AJ for the title in a five minute round. If there is no winner, superstar number two joins to make it a three-way. If still no winner is determined after another five-minute round the final superstar could enter to potentially make it a Four Way! BUNKHOUSE MATCH "THE AMERICAN DREAM" DUSTY RHODES AND JAMES STORM VS. NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS KID KASH AND DALLAS The American Dream returned to TNA on a mission on Wednesday night, joining forces with James Storm to counter the attack of Kid Kash and Dallas. As a result, the wrestling legend will tag with Storm this Wednesday night in a Bunkhouse Match against Kash and Dallas! Dusty, the master of the Bunkhouse Match, will certainly be looking to put some clubberin' on Kash and Dallas - if you will! Tune in this Wednesday night to see Dusty RHodes' in-ring TNA return! BEST OF THREE SERIES: FINAL MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO CHALLENGES FOR THE X CHAMPIONSHIP THE AMAZING RED VS. SONJAY DUTT Thanks to the win by The Amazing Red this past Wednesday, the score in the best-of-three series against Sonjay Dutt is tied 1-1. This Wednesday night on Pay-Per-View will be the third and final determining bout between the two X division superstars to determine who goes on to face X Champ Frankie "The Future" Kazarian! WORLD X CUP PREVIEW TEAM JAPAN VS. TEAM MEXICO The recent World X Cup matches have been nothing short of spectacular, and this Wednesday night the battles continue leading up to the May 26 mega-event on Pay-Per-View! This Wednesday night, defending Americas X Cup Champions Team Mexico from the AAA promotion will face Team Japan in yet another high-flying spectacular! The question is, can Team Mexico rebound from their recent defeats going into the World X Cup? WORLD X CUP PREVIEW SPECIAL STIPULATION MATCH NWA CAPTAIN JERRY LYNN VS. CANADA'S BOBBY RUDE In yet another World X Cup preview match this Wednesday night, Team NWA captain Jerry Lynn takes on Team Canada member Bobby Rude - but with some special stipulations involved. If Jerry Lynn wins, he gets five minutes in the ring with Canadian manager Scott D'Amore. If Lynn loses, he must step away as Captain of Team NWA! SPECIAL CHALLENGE MATCH DAVID YOUNG VS. D-RAY 3000 This weekend on Xplosion, newcomer D-Ray 3000 earned his first TNA win against David Young (although Young still denies he lost the match - "a camera trick"). In a TNA CAM interview later on, Young challenged "that Chia pet" (ie, D-Ray 3000) to face him this Wednesday night on Pay-Per-View! Will the Master of the Spinebuster finally come to grips with his record loss streak? Can D-Ray 3000 pull off another one? Tune in and find out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Last Free Voice Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Show looks good. The XCup preview should be interesting, as well as the Lynn Rude match. I'm also fairly exited about the Sonjay Red match, as last weeks was better, and this week they should be going all out. The main could be Great if done right.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 The XCup preview should be interesting, as well as the Lynn Rude match. I think Rude's okay. I'm hyped on Lynn right now, though, because I make it a habit to watch TNA tapes from a year and a half ago when they were kicking every other company's ass in terms of overall quality of the show, and the Lynn matches were usually the best of the night. The guy might not know psychology for shit, but hey, his work is SOLID. If the tag bout doesn't involve Nosawa or Negro, it shouldn't be too bad. I'm also fairly exited about the Sonjay Red match, as last weeks was better, and this week they should be going all out. Meh. Red's not 100% yet, and Sonjay doesn't strike me as anything special. Plus, TNA has been on that whole "you cannot overshadow the main eventers' work" lately, and aside from Truth and Styles, it's not hard to overshadow the main event (yes, I honestly believe Truth and Styles are, right now, the best workers in the company with any sort of continued push). If they're allowed to just go all-out and are given 12 minutes, this could be a solid *** match, though. Likelihood? 10%, since Dutch hates cruiserweights, or something. The main could be Great if done right. You know it won't be given the time it needs. They have too many matches booked, and every match is around 10 minutes long. While that works in the case of the good pairings (Storm/Kash worked surprisingly well, as well as most of the tag team matches), it sucks because main-events should always be longer than any other match on the card, IMO.

JHawk 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Does anybody know if the Deadly Draw is over with the first pin or if it's elimination? I mean, if Harris draws #1 and is pinned in 3:45, is that it? Or do we wait for #2 to enter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Last Free Voice Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Not expecting a good show are you Laz? Sheesh. No such thing as positive engery in a TNA thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 It's one-fall, as the subject makes it seem that way. Otherwise, they'd add that it's elimination. I don't expect too much out of TNA, since it seems they always give the bad matches more time than they do the good ones, limit their workers drastically (which they used to say they'd NEVER do), and give me very little reason to order anymore. It's been this way since Dutch took over, honestly. And when Jarrett regains the title, like it's being reported he will? I won't order any non-XCup shows until he loses the belt.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 The main event is an interesting idea, I think. The problem is that the 3 guys not named AJ Styles aren't very good workers. I'd probably start off with AJ vs. Harris and then add Truth in first, since his moves and he in general tend to pop the crowd. Then Raven can come in last to make it a 4 way. Raven's work has been flat out bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 I dunno. I think Truth is probably one of the top 10 workers in TNA right now. His ringwork is solid enough, he has a decent sense of psychology (he sells well, and all of his moves focus on the same area - the head/neck), and he's loaded with enough charisma to carry a bad match so that the fans can like it. TNA dropped the ball with him a long time ago, and just now they're starting to pick it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Dude, Red/Dutt tonight was MOTM so far for TNA. Best match TNA has had in a while. ***1/2. Each spot built off of the last match, and both men just went all-out in this one. Honestly, if TNA were to have just made Red/Dutt one time, I'd wish it would have gone like the last three matches went, only all in one big 25-minute match. Would've blown the socks off of the Asylum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Donners Report post Posted May 20, 2004 Glad Lynn won. I was very worried that he was going to be taken off Team NWA. Is D-Ray 3000 better known as anybody else? I assumed it was Slyk Wagner Brown, since he has been on XPlosion for a while, but I don't think he wrestled under that name. Interesting to see some continuity from XPlosion though - when was the last time that happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting to see some continuity from XPlosion though - when was the last time that happened? D-Ray is definitely not Brown. He's just a random jobber who has appeared on Xplosion a few times in the past. I have no idea why he was selected to go over Young over the other guys, but I guess having an afro distinguishes you from the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
