Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Shame your old thread ended because I was really getting in to that. I wonder how Jon will feel about you doing a TNA thread as well but I wish you the very best of luck as you certainly have the talent. Hopefully this will go far.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

This BTB looks interesting, although you should have kept Tomko and Kiyoshi in my opinion, I can't wait to read your first show, judging by everyone elses comments about your past btb's this will hopefully be better than the one on TV, although I have one question, are you going to be writing out the other show?

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Well, all I can say is that I hope this thing lasts longer than mine did. You've never attempted anything outside of the realms of WWE so this is a big test for you. You have time on your side, being that there's a much smaller workload as it's just iMPACT! that you have on your hands, but knowing that you have no social life and friends it wouldn't have made much difference anyway. :p But yeah, should be interesting. Hope the laptop lasts long enough without fucking up so that you can make this work.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution


TNA iMPACT! | January 14, 2010
iMPACT! Zone | Orlando, Florida


Deja Vu
After a video recounting the events of last week’s 3-hour special, the opening credits play as “Cross The Line” blares out and the pyro ascends from the stage. The camera then pans the iMPACT! Zone, catching a sight of many fans amongst the audience holding up banners and signs of all colours, shapes and sizes, before crossing over to the announce table, where Mike Tenay and Taz are sat to welcome us to the show.

Mike Tenay: Just three days remain until TNA Genesis this Sunday, and it’s been ten days since the 3-hour special of iMPACT! but here we are again tonight, welcome everybody, I am Mike Tenay alongside my broadcast colleague Taz, and barely any light has been shed in regards to exactly what we can expect to see at Genesis, so I for one cannot wait to see what Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan have in store for us tonight on iMPACT!

Taz: You can count me in, Professor, tonight’s show is going to be huge, we saw some new foundations laid for rivalries and alliances last week on Monday, and I’m really looking forward to seeing where it goes, but tonight’s main event will be off the hook, we get to see the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and the man he’ll defend his title against this Sunday at Genesis, Kurt Angle, face off against the World Tag Team Champions The British Invasion!

Mike Tenay: That will no doubt be an un-missable contest, Taz, and also tonight on iMPACT there are so many people to hear from; The Band, Bobby Lashley, Jeff Hardy, and perhaps even Mick Foley if he makes it here tonight to the iMPACT Zone, but don’t forget that we’re going to determine who will challenge The Amazing Red for his X Division Championship this Sunday at Genesis, Consequences Creed, Homicide, Shannon Moore, who is making his TNA in-ring debut and Suicide square off with a four-way match.

Taz: And the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships, Hernandez and Matt Morgan, are in action, they face Team 3D, and Bobby Lashley, who asked for his release last week, takes on the “Tennessee Cowboy” James Storm!

Say Hello To The Bad Guys
Then, “Marvellous Me” sounds off, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd, as Kevin Nash, Scott Hall (whose theme is being used for their reunion) and Sean Waltman walk through the tunnel, smiling and touching fingers with their trademark hand signal. The trio walk down the ramp, Hall throwing his toothpick into the camera lens before they step into the six-sided ring and each take a microphone.

Mike Tenay: Hall and Waltman both made their return to TNA last week on the special Monday iMPACT! and here they are, again with Kevin Nash, and I certainly want to hear what they have to say after they attacked Mick Foley at the conclusion of last week’s show.

Taz: Nash has said all along, the band is getting back together, and not that I approved of their assault of Mick Foley, but I’m actually pretty pumped for their return; we haven’t seen these guys together in God knows how long, and like it or not, they are three of the biggest stars in professional wrestling, Professor.

Maybe not Waltman... meanwhile, The Band are standing side-by-side in the middle of the ring with microphones, looking into the audience who are booing them, but Nash, Hall and Waltman look surprised at the negative ovation they are receiving.

Kevin Nash: C’mon... the Band is back together!

Mixed reaction for Nash, who shakes his head with disappointment.

Kevin Nash: Me, Scotty and Sean arrived here in the iMPACT! Zone tonight, and y’know, we were talking about how happy the fans would be to see us here ... but what the hell is this? I know me, Scotty and the Hulkster did some things in the old WCW that you might not like, but those days are behind us now, we’re changed men, and besides, Hulk hasn’t even decided if he’s riding with us yet, and let’s face it, he was the one responsible for everything we did in WCW.

The TNA fans aren’t buying into it at all, and they continue to boo Nash.

Scott Hall: ‘Ight, Big Kev, they ain’t listenin’ to you, so I’ll take it from here.

Kev shrugs his shoulders, as he takes a step back to stand next to Waltman and Hall takes centre stage in the ring.

Scott Hall: ‘Ey yo...

Hall actually gets a pop after fitting in his catchphrase.

Scott Hall: Say hello, to the bad guy. Look, y’all can’t just cheer me; ya’ gotta’ give respect to all of us. I mean, this is the biggest moment in this sport, me, Kev, Sean and Eric gettin’ back on the saddle again.

... Even though Eric isn’t actually part of the re-formed faction, but try telling them that.

Scott Hall: All week, we’ve been gettin’ questions about what we did to Mick Foley last Monday night, and we told ‘em exactly what we’re gonna tell all of you ... That psycho was gonna put his hands on Easy E, somebody who isn’t even a wrestler, not to mention he’s been stalkin’ the Hulkster, so what else could we do? Like we say, they’re our brothers for life and we weren’t gonna let Mick take out Eric so we took matters into our own hands ... and we beat the crap outta’ him.

Scott steps back, and Waltman walks out.

Sean Waltman: And sorry to break it to all of ya’ ... but Mick is never gonna come back. He said he was never gonna work for Eric Bischoff, but that’s only because he knows that Bischoff thinks he’s a worthless load of trash, just like everybody else does, so last Monday night was the last time you’ll ever see Mick Foley in this arena.

Heat for Waltman, as the crowd begin to chant “X-Pac Sucks!”

Sean Waltman: And Hulkster ... you’ve been puttin’ this off for too long, man; you’re either with us, or against us ... and we want your answer this Sunday, at Genesis!

The crowd actually cheer, as it gives them more to look forward to at Genesis, and Waltman is about to talk again, but “Motorcity” plays to a pop from the audience as the Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, walk out, both holding microphones, and they stand on the stage, keeping their distance from The Band.

Alex Shelley: Guys, guys ... if you want some even bigger news, then I’ll give you some; none of you mean a dime anymore.

Cheers for Shelley, as The Band look confused.

Scott Hall: You for real, chico?

Alex Shelley: You’re damn right, Scott. Y’see, guys, this isn’t WCW, this is TNA, and we do things a little differently around here. We’ve got the best wrestling talent in the world, which includes me and Chris at the top of the list, and you’re not gonna have half of the roster on your side, because believe me, a whole lot of guys in the back wanna be where we are right now, walk down that aisle, step into the ring, and kick your asses. I know you’ve all been here before, especially you, Kev, as you’ve been here for years now and we even used to call you a friend, but as for Scott and Sean, this isn’t the TNA you used to know, because we’re bigger, we’re stronger, and we’re not gonna take your crap any more.

More cheers for Alex, as Waltman steps forward.

Sean Waltman: Loud and clear, man, but seriously, you should really introduce yourself and your buddy to me and Scotty before goin’ any further.

Chris Sabin: Who are we? We’re the Motor City Machine Guns, we’re two of the-

Kevin Nash: Wait, no, stop there, Chris, I’ll tell Sean who you guys are, so he doesn’t have to hear all of your propaganda. Sean, they got the first part right, they’re the Motor City Machine Guns, and they could have been near our level, but instead, they refused my tutelage, they didn’t want to be taken to the top of the game, and they stayed where they are right now, as two nobodies, and the only thing they have going for ‘em is their haircuts.

Heat for Nash, as Sabin continues again.

Chris Sabin: Well thank you for doing the “honours”, Kev, but you’re wrong; yeah, we might have awesome haircuts, but that’s not all we’ve got, and besides, you could have introduced Scott and Sean to us last week; after all, you did attack us backstage last Monday night, but that’s only because you know you can’t jump guys like us in the queue and if you really wanna fight us ... then how about you and Scotty face me and Alex this Sunday, at Genesis?

Every single spectator in the iMPACT! Zone stand up and cheer, they would love to see that match at Genesis, as Nash, Hall and Waltman momentarily huddle and discuss the Guns’ offer to a match this Sunday, until they separate, and Nash talks...

Kevin Nash: You sure you guys want that?

Sabin and Shelley simultaneously nod their heads, and Nash seems convinced.

Kevin Nash: Alright then ... you’ve got your match at Genesis!

Big pop, and Sabin and Shelley look pleased as “Motorcity” blares out and the ‘Guns walk back through the tunnel, whilst Hall, Nash and Waltman continue to talk, not looking too worried.

Mike Tenay: Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin asked for it, and they got it, they’re facing Kevin Nash and Scott Hall this Sunday at Genesis!

Taz: Yep, but you know what they say, Professor; “be careful what you wish for”, and Sabin and Shelley are gonna have the biggest match of their careers in three days’ time, but it could turn out to be the last match of their careers, if the capabilities of Hall and Nash are anything to go by.

Mike Tenay: And coming up next, Bobby Lashley and James Storm go one-on-one, when we return!


*Commercial Break*


Ulterior Motives
Back on iMPACT!, “The Boss” blares out to a mixed reaction as Bobby Lashley, along with his wife Kristal, walks through the tunnel, folding his arms together and throwing them out as a pyro explodes from the stage. Lashley walks down the aisle with Kristal’s hand on his shoulder and he climbs onto the ring apron, holding down the middle rope for his wife to step into the ring and Bobby then follows.

Then, “Take A Fall” plays and the crowd cheer as Beer Money, Inc make their entrance, Robert Roode walking down the aisle on foot and James Storm riding down on the Boozer Cruiser. Once at the bottom of the ramp Storm parks the Boozer Cruiser and takes his bottle of beer, pouring some into a fan’s mouth before he and Roode enter the ring, Robert leaving the ring to stand outside shortly after when the match gets underway.

Match 1 | Singles
Bobby Lashley vs. James Storm
The discontented Bobby Lashley, wanting his immediate release from TNA, disregards the traditional rules for this contest, not locking up with James Storm but instead stiffly kicking Storm in the mid-section right off the bat and pummelling him with clubbing blows to the back until he is down on the canvas, and Lashley then repeatedly knees Storm in the skull, an arsenal of attacks you would normally expect in MMA so it is no surprise that Bobby is utilizing those attacks here. It runs its course, but afterwards Storm begins to get back into the match after fending off Lashley with some right hands and managing to hit “The Boss” with a Double-Underhook Suplex. Afterwards, Storm makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kick out from Lashley, unsurprisingly. Storm gets Bobby to his feet but Lashley pushes the “Tennessee Cowboy” away and then nails Storm with a clothesline which almost takes Storm’s head off! After that, Bobby turns Storm over and wraps his arms around James’ neck, locking Storm in a Sleeper Hold, and he rolls over so that Storm is facing upwards and he wraps his legs around Storm’s sternum to apply pressure. Storm desperately tries to break out of the hold and has his hand reached out as he tries to make it to the ropes, but his hand then drops to the canvas and the referee takes a closer look, before calling for the bell to be rung, giving Lashley the victory!
Winner via Submission | Bobby Lashley @ 4:03

“The Boss” briefly plays to confirm Lashley’s victory, but Bobby doesn’t let go of James Storm, as he continues to choke Storm with the Sleeper hold with Lashley’s wife Kristal standing in the ring and laughing, but Storm’s tag team partner Robert Roode takes matters into his own hands and enters the ring, jumping onto Lashley and unloading on “The God Of Thunder” with blows! The crowd in the iMPACT! Zone cheer Roode as he tries to save Storm, and he and Lashley get to their feet to exchange right hands, with Roode getting the better of Lashley, and he swings a right hand at Bobby, but he ducks it and leaves the ring, as Kristal leaves also, taking a microphone from a worker and walking up the ramp with her husband, beginning to speak.

Kristal Lashley: Robert Roode ... you really shouldn’t have tried to put your hands on my man, because now, Bobby wants to make sure that when he leaves TNA to concentrate on greener pastures in MMA, which will be very soon ... you’ll be heading out of the door as well.

Roode shakes his head at Kristal, and he then calls for a microphone, which he receives.

Robert Roode: Kristal, I don’t think you get it; your “man” Bobby who isn’t even man enough to speak for himself is only leaving TNA because when he came here he thought he would be right at the front of the line, but the fact is, he’s not, so I hope you drag your asses out of here as soon as possible ... but it’ll have to be after this Sunday, at Genesis.

The crowd, getting an idea as to what Roode is talking about, cheer.

Robert Roode: Bobby, I want you one-on-one at Genesis, so the last image that these people will see of you in TNA will be you, lying in this very ring looking up at the ceiling with your trashbag wife holding you in her arms. And that just goes to show, that it pays to be Roode.

Roode drops the microphone as “Take A Fall” blares out and James Storm slowly sits up, holding his throat, whilst Roode leaves the ring momentarily to grab a bottle of beer before re-entering the six-sided ring and pouring the beer over Storm’s face, with Bobby and Kristal Lashley looking on in disgust at the top of the rampway.

Mike Tenay: Another big match made for Genesis, Bobby Lashley and Robert Roode going one-on-one this Sunday with Roode looking to not only gain retribution for his tag team partner, but to also drive Lashley and his wife Kristal out of TNA!

Taz: Roode must be pretty damn confident, Professor, because if I was him, I wouldn’t be after seeing the man he challenged and will face at Genesis, Bobby Lashley, choke out his tag team partner and friend James Storm, hell, even I’m a little nervous just sitting here!

Mike Tenay: Well coming up next, Hernandez and Matt Morgan, two men challenging for the British Invasion’s TNA World Tag Team Championships this Sunday at Genesis, are in action against Team 3D!

An Enigmatic Arrival; Part One
Backstage, Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore are walking down a corridor with a few workers looking on at them, both Hardy and Moore looking to be in high spirits. Jeff slaps hands with Moore before the two go their separate ways, with Jeff on his way to the ring.


*Commercial Break*


An Enigmatic Arrival; Part Two
Back from the break, “Modest” blares out to a big pop from the crowd as Jeff Hardy walks through the tunnel, with a beaming smile on his face. Hardy takes a bow to the audience before walking down the aisle, slapping some fans’ hands, and sliding under the ropes and into the six-sided ring, climbing to the top rope and making his trademark gesture with his hands subsequent to climbing back down.

Mike Tenay: Jeff Hardy made a shocking return to TNA last Monday night after attacking Homicide following the Steel Asylum match, and Hardy is here tonight in the iMPACT! Zone, ready to address the fans.

Taz: I’ve heard great things about what Jeff did in the past here in TNA, Mike, and I am so happy that now I get to sit right here and see this guy doing his thing here once again, baby!

Meanwhile, Hardy is given a microphone by SoCal Val, and he walks around the ring, nodding his head in response to the ovation he is receiving from the crowd.

Jeff Hardy: Before anything else, I just wanna say how great it is to be back here in TNA!

Cheap pop for Hardy.

Jeff Hardy: Last Monday night, I knew that this is the place to be, that this was the place which has the best wrestling fans in the world...

More cheers.

Jeff Hardy: ... And that this is the company, TNA, that is gonna become the biggest wrestling company in the world! A few years ago when I was here, my one big goal was to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, but it didn’t happen, and since the day I left, that goal has still been in my mind, and now that I’m back ... I’m picking up where I left off. So AJ Styles, I’ve got all the respect in the world for you, man, but-

Hardy is interrupted when “Hungry Like A Wolfe” plays to a negative reaction and none other than Desmond Wolfe walks out of the tunnel, wearing his shades and black jacket over his ring-gear and holding a microphone. The cocky Wolfe walks down the aisle and climbs onto the ring apron, saying “Get your bloody ass over here!” to a worker who holds down the middle rope for Desmond to enter the ring. Wolfe comes face-to-face with Hardy, Desmond struggling to wipe the smirk off his face.

Desmond Wolfe: If it isn’t the comeback kid, eh?

Boos for Wolfe, as Hardy looks at Desmond in a confused manner.

Desmond Wolfe: But Jeff, before I go any further, I need to ask you ... why did you come back? Was it for the money? Was it for the fame? Or was it because you’re stupid enough to put yourself in the way of a whole lot of guys in the locker room that want to send you right back out of here?

Jeff Hardy: (Sarcastically) Anybody in particular?

Desmond Wolfe: Yes, there is. Y’see, Jeff, like I said, there’s a lot of people who are out to get you, but they can’t do the job, they don’t have the capabilities that are needed ... I, on the other hand, do.

More heat, and now Jeff takes a step closer to Wolfe, getting right in his face.

Jeff Hardy: Alright, but Desmond, you haven’t really done anything to impress me so far because since you’ve come to TNA, I’ve been watching you, and all you’ve done is run your damn mouth, and right now I’m seeing it right up close, so if you think you can take me out ... take your best shot.

Hardy drops his microphone and shouts “Come on!” right in front of Wolfe’s face, but...

Desmond Wolfe: Well, Mr. Hardy, there is a time and a place, but as for right now... the time is not yours.

Desmond drops his mic to the canvas and slowly leaves the ring, giving a two-fingered gesture to the crowd whilst walking up the aisle, but Hardy leaves the ring, and jumps Wolfe from behind! The crowd go nuts for Hardy as he pummels Wolfe with right hands, and brings him back into the ring! Desmond gets to his feet, but Jeff grabs Wolfe and signals for the Twist of Fate, only for Desmond to get out of it and leave the ring again, staggering up the ramp! “Modest” blares out and Wolfe shouts to Hardy from a safe distance “This is not over! Not – over!” as Hardy shakes his head at Desmond and climbs to the top rope, making his signature gesture with his hands to appease the crowd.

Mike Tenay: Things just really heated up between Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy here on iMPACT!

Taz: Ya’ don’t say, Professor, but you’re right, Wolfe tried to hightail it and Hardy wasn’t having any of it, but fortunately for Desmond he got away on the second time of trying!

In All Mankind
The camera then cuts backstage, where Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are in their office, watching the proceedings of the show on a TV. Jeremy Borash then walks in, looking a little nervous.

Jeremy Borash: Uh, Mr. Bischoff? Hulk?

Both look at JB.

Eric Bischoff: What do you want, JB?

Jeremy Borash: I just wanted to get your thoughts on what just happened between Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy?

Hulk Hogan: Brother, the fans loved seeing those two guys, me and Eric loved it, and we’re gonna see it again this Sunday, because at Genesis, it’s gonna be Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy, going one-on-one!

Big pop in the iMPACT! Zone after hearing this news.

Jeremy Borash: Well, that is great, but if you don’t mind me asking ... got any updates on Mick? I haven’t heard from him all week and I’m getting a little-

Eric Bischoff: Look, JB, just face it; Mick isn’t coming back to TNA. He’s gone, he has no power whatsoever anymore, and I don’t give a damn how good friends you two are, it’s not gonna change a thing, so get out.

Hulk looks at Bischoff uneasily after hearing that about Mick, as Borash quickly scurries away.


*Commercial Break*


Golden Blueprint
Back on the show, “Sleeping Giant” plays to a pop from the crowd as Hernandez and Matt Morgan, the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships, walk through the tunnel, Morgan removing his robe and raising his arms in the air, letting out a reverberating roar. The two powerhouses walk down the aisle and enter the ring, discussing tactics.

Then, “Watch Out” blares out getting a mixed reaction, as Team 3D walk through the tunnel, Devon flexing his muscles and Ray looking calm and composed. The brothers walk down the aisle, giving stern looks to Matt Morgan and Hernandez, and step into the ring.

Match 2 | Tag Team
Hernandez & Matt Morgan vs. Team 3D
This is not a very spectacular match by any stretch of the imagination, with Brother Devon and Brother Ray putting on a slow-paced performance against the slightly more agile Hernandez and Matt Morgan. Devon and Hernandez start off the match, and by the time the contest lasts longer than Hernandez and Morgan’s match last Monday night, Devon is in control, wearing down “Super Mex” with a bear hug and using basic blows and stomps. Brother Ray is tagged in and he picks up where his brother left off, until Hernandez begins to fight back, and when Ray is recooperating on the outside of the ring with Devon, Hernandez runs off the opposite ropes, sprints across the ring and flies over the ropes, taking down both Ray and Devon! The crowd cheer Hernandez as he and Team 3D’s bodies lie on the concrete floor until Hernandez and Ray get back in the ring and Hernandez tags in Matt Morgan, who flattens Ray with a clothesline and hits Ray with repeated clotheslines and suplexes before getting Ray up, and nailing him with the Carbon Footprint! Morgan then tags Hernandez back in and he gets Ray up again, lifting him up and connecting with the Border Toss! Hernandez quickly covers Brother Ray, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winners | Hernandez & Matt Morgan @ 5:47

“Te Gusta O No!” plays as Hernandez and Matt Morgan have their hands raised by the referee to a pop from the crowd and they climb to the second ropes to celebrate, whilst the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, the British Invasion, watch backstage...

Mike Tenay: The team of Hernandez and Matt Morgan picking up another victory, this time against the most decorated tag team in the world, Team 3D, and Hernandez and Morgan have a hell of a lot of momentum on their side going into this Sunday’s Genesis, when they challenge the British Invasion for the TNA World Tag Team Championships!

Taz: The British Invasion have yet to face a team as big and powerful as Hernandez and Matt Morgan, so I’m calling it right here that we will see new TNA World Tag Team Champions crowned this Sunday at Genesis, Professor!

Mike Tenay: Still to come, we determine the #1 contender to the X Division Championship, will it be Consequences Creed, Homicide or Suicide?

Shaking The Globe
Backstage, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are – again – in their office, when the World Elite, Eric Young, the British Invasion and Homicide, walk in, getting heat from the crowd.

Eric Young: Mr. Bischoff, Mr. Hogan, it is a pleasure to meet both of you, and sure you’re delighted to meet me, your TNA Global Champion.

Hulk Hogan: We sure are, brother, but look, as a Champion you’ve gotta’ defend your title, and I’ve been getting a vibe from you that you only placed the rules on your title that it can’t be defended on American soil or against an American opponent, so you didn’t have to defend it. But lemme tell ya’ right now, jack, you will defend that TNA Global Championship, and you will defend it this Sunday at Genesis.

Cheers in the crowd, as Young looks displeased.

Eric Young: No, Hulk, you don’t understand, I-

Eric Bischoff: What we say, goes, Eric, so don’t try and find a ***** in our armour. You’re gonna defend the Global Championship at Genesis, and it could well be against the man you’re facing in a non-title match tonight; D’Angelo Dinero.

More cheers from the crowd, pleased that Dinero could get a shot at the title at Genesis.

Hulk Hogan: If he wins, he gets a shot at Genesis, if you win, we’ll pick an opponent for you on the night, so get your gear on, brother.

Young shakes his head at Bischoff and Hogan before he walks away, with the rest of the World Elite in tow.

Seeing Red
Meanwhile, “Come Alive” blares out to a pop from the crowd, as the lights go out for several moments and when they come back on, Suicide is sitting on the top rope! The mysterious masked man climbs down and points two fingers to his head in a gun gesture, before standing in the corner.

“Pomp & Circumstance/Consequences” plays and Consequences Creed, accompanied by his tag team partner Jay Lethal, walks out, to a lukewarm reception from the crowd. Creed and Lethal walk down the aisle, high-fiving some fans before entering the ring.

Then, “5150” sounds off, getting heat from the crowd as Homicide walks through the tunnel, jumping up and down and pounding at his chest with his fist as a pyro goes off behind him. The loose cannon walks down the aisle, shouting “Olele!” at a group of fans before sliding under the ropes and into the six-sided ring.


*Commercial Break*


Match 3 | Triple Threat | Winner Faces Amazing Red At Genesis
Consequences Creed vs. Homicide vs. Suicide
Back from the commercial break, we’re two minutes into the match and Consequences Creed and Suicide have formed a temporary alliance to try to eliminate the third man in this contest, Homicide, from contention to win this match and become the #1 contender to Amazing Red’s X Division Championship to earn a match this Sunday at Genesis. Creed and Suicide throw Homicide over the ropes, thinking they’ve thrown him out of the ring, but Homicide manages to stay on the ring apron and he jumps onto the ropes, leaping off and taking down both Creed and Suicide, standing side-by-side, with a seated senton, getting one leg over each of their necks! Homicide quickly covers Suicide, 1...... 2...... Suicide gets the shoulder up! Homicide gets Suicide to his feet and hits him with some right hands, Irish whipping Suicide into the corner of the six-sided ring and immediately running towards the masked man, but Suicide leaps over the ropes and lands on the ring apron, then spearing Homicide in the mid-section through the ropes which sends Homicide staggering backwards into the centre of the ring and Suicide then climbs to the top rope, flying off the top and taking down Homicide with a clothesline! Suicide makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Consequences Creed breaks up the pinfall! Suicide gets to his feet and he and Creed have a brief stare-down until Creed swings a wild right hand at him and Suicide catches his arm, wrenching Creed’s arm and lifting him up onto his shoulders, nailing him with a Rolling Fireman’s Carry Slam! Suicide is about to make the cover, but Homicide drags Suicide back across the ring by his legs and drops an elbow onto the back of Suicide’s cranium!

Forward three minutes, the climax to this thrilling X-Division match comes when Consequences Creed and Suicide are having an exchange with Homicide standing behind Suicide. Creed punches Suicide three times right in the jaw before doing the splits and looking to complete the MontiFisto, but Suicide ducks out of the way and Creed knocks out Homicide! Creed turns around and Suicide kicks him in the mid-section immediately, nailing him with the D.O.A! Suicide makes the cover on Creed, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner | Suicide @ 7:33

“Coming Alive” blares out to a lukewarm pop from the crowd as Suicide gets to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee, officially the #1 contender to the X Division Championship and Amazing Red’s opponent this Sunday at Genesis. Suicide points his fingers in a gun shape to his head and then motions around his waist his Championship aspirations, but then “Red Remix” plays and Amazing Red walks out onto the stage with his title and accompanied by Don West, who shouts relentlessly at Suicide and tires himself out as he soon goes red in the face, no pun intended.

Mike Tenay: That’s going to be a fantastic match at Genesis, Amazing Red defending his X Division Championship against Suicide this Sunday!

Taz: It’s gonna be one hell of a challenge for Amazing Red, but the kid’s got all the heart in the world, Professor, so we’ll just have to wait and see who’ll walk out of Genesis as the X Division Champion.

Mike Tenay: We’ve got seven matches scheduled for Genesis, now let’s run through them; Bobby Lashley and Robert Roode go one-on-one after Lashley tried to choke Roode’s partner James Storm out unconscious during their match earlier on tonight, and Roode wants to not only gain retribution for Storm, but to also drive Lashley and his wife Kristal out of TNA.

Taz: Eric Young will definitely be defending his TNA Global Championship, it could be against D’Angelo Dinero if Dinero defeats Young in a non-title match next, but if not then Young’s challenger will be decided on the night this Sunday! The odds would definitely be stacked against Young if that was what happened, Mike!

Mike Tenay: Hernandez and Matt Morgan became the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships last Monday night, and they’ll face the British Invasion for the titles, they’ve got the momentum on their side after defeating Team 3D earlier on tonight, but can they make use of it?

Taz: Like we just found out, Amazing Red will defend the X Division Championship against Suicide! Which one of these high-fliers will earn the big prize?

Mike Tenay: Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy square off for the first time ever at Genesis, two big stars in TNA so it’ll certainly be interesting to see who comes out on top in that encounter, Taz!

Taz: Kevin Nash and Scott Hall face the Motor City Machine Guns, one of the best tag teams of the 1990’s against one of the best tag teams of the 2000’s and most likely the 2010’s! It’s gonna be one hell of a ride, baby!

Mike Tenay: And then, the big one; TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the line, AJ Styles defends against Kurt Angle, it’s all or nothing for Angle, if he loses then he will not receive another World Title shot this year, if he wins then he is once again the World Heavyweight Champion.

Support, Or Conspiracy?
Backstage, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are in the locker room, when Hulk Hogan walks in, as the ‘Guns look pleasantly surprised to see Hogan.

Hulk Hogan: What’s up, brothers? Listen guys, I’ve gotta’ give you credit for standing up to Scott, Sean and Kev earlier, that’s what I wanna see from every single guy on this roster so you guys have my support, and just to let ya’ know, I’m gonna be in your corner at Genesis against Scott and Kev. Good luck, brothers.

Hogan pats Alex and Chris on the back before walking out of the shot, as the ‘Guns look at each other.

Chris Sabin: That doesn’t sound too bad to me-

Alex Shelley: Whoa, whoa, wait ... maybe he’s on Kev and Scott’s side in this?

Sabin looks at Shelley in a confused way.

Alex Shelley: Hear me out ... Hulk might be doing this just to screw us out of the match so he can re-join his little “band” with those guys, and I don’t know about you but I’m not gonna let that happen, this is the biggest match of our lives and I won’t let him mess it up, so we’re gonna have to keep an eye on him.

Chris holds his hands up.

Chris Sabin: Alright, but I’m not too sure about that.

The screen fades to black with Alex and Chris continuing to talk...


*Commercial Break*


Pimp His Ride
Back from the break, “We Are World Elite” plays and the TNA Global Champion Eric Young walks out, not looking very upbeat probably after hearing that anybody can now challenge for his title. Young descends down the aisle and steps into the ring, walking straight into the corner as he means business tonight. Then, “Catholi-Funk” blares out and the crowd cheer as the exuberant D’Angelo Dinero jogs out of the tunnel, his face covered by a bandana, shades and a mask which covers his mouth. Dinero walks down the aisle, high-fiving some fans before entering the ring and removing his bandana, shades, mask and jacket, getting ready for this match.

Match 4 | Singles
D’Angelo Dinero vs. Eric Young
Eric Young was very reluctant to participate in this match, and it shows when Young refuses to lock up with D’Angelo Dinero, instead remaining stood still in the corner of the six-sided ring, but the boos and derision of the fans gets under Eric’s skin and he turns to the audience, shouting at them to shut up, but when he turns around, Dinero has taken advantage of Young’s distraction, and he drives Eric spine-first into the corner of the ring! The crowd cheer Dinero as he unloads on Young with right hands as the TNA Global Champion desperately tries to cover up to protect himself from “The Pope”’s onslaught, but D’Angelo begins to recurrently kick Eric in the mid-section as he sinks down, finding himself sat down in the corner. Dinero walks into the opposite corner of the ring and shouts “Pope - is - pimpin’!” before charging at Young, sliding across the canvas, going for a baseball slide, but Eric rolls out of the ring, as Dinero misses, managing to avoid colliding with the steel ring-post as he slides under the ropes and out of the ring, but as soon as he does, Young takes Dinero out with a clothesline! The crowd boo Young as he smiles deviously, and stomps viciously at Dinero, not showing any remorse whatsoever before getting him to his feet, and driving D’Angelo into the steel security rail! A bunch of security guards have to hold the rail up to prevent it from falling down and Young grabs Dinero by his head, getting him back into the ring, and when he is, Eric covers “The Pope”, 1...... 2...... Dinero gets the shoulder up!

After that Young continues to wear Dinero down, focusing a lot on Dinero’s knees to try to take the Dinero Express out of his arsenal temporarily for this contest and taking his kneepads down so they are not protected. However, it doesn’t affect the outcome of the match as Dinero doesn’t need to use the Dinero Express; Young has Dinero in position for a Piledriver, but D’Angelo manages to free his legs and flip backwards out of the position, then kicking Young in the mid-section, wrenching his arm, and nailing Eric with the Dinero Experience! “The Pope” makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner | D’Angelo Dinero @ 8:12

“Catholi-Funk” blares out and the crowd rejoice as D’Angelo Dinero gets to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee, smirking at the sight of Eric Young laid out in the middle of the ring thanks to him and then motioning around his waist that he will become the TNA Global Champion this Sunday.

Mike Tenay: D’Angelo Dinero defeats Eric Young, he’s challenging Young for the TNA Global Championship this Sunday at Genesis, and if Dinero can put a performance like what he just gave in that ring in three days’ time, then a new Champion will be crowned, no doubt about it!

Taz: I love this guy, Mike, D’Angelo Dinero’s got the total package to become not just Global Champion but the TNA World Heavyweight Champion! I hope Eric Young knows that.

Mike Tenay: And coming up next, the main event; the TNA World Tag Team Champions the British Invasion taking on the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and Kurt Angle!

All It Takes Is A Phone Call
Backstage, Eric Bischoff is in his and Hulk Hogan’s office, on the phone. He has a big smile on his face, as he listens to who he is talking to.

Eric Bischoff: ... Yeah, I’ll get it to ya’ tomorrow, signed on the dotted line for Sunday ... Alright, bye.

Bischoff flips the screen of his phone down and the camera pans out, to reveal Hulk Hogan standing nearby, looking rather expectant.

Hulk Hogan: What did he say?

Eric Bischoff: He’s signing the contract tomorrow, and he’ll be here for Genesis.

Both Eric and Hogan nod their heads and smirk.

Hulk Hogan: Sounds great, brother.

The Same Freakin’ Page
We then cut elsewhere, where Christy Hemme is standing by.

Christy Hemme: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and his tag team partner tonight, the man who will challenge him for the World Title this Sunday at Genesis, Kurt Angle!

The camera pans out, as Styles and Angle become visible in the picture.

Christy Hemme: Guys, tonight you’re facing the TNA World Tag Team Champions the British Invasion, but on Sunday you’re going one-on-one with AJ’s TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the line. My question is the same as what is on all of the fans’ minds; can you co-exist for your match tonight?

Kurt Angle:Christy, I think me and AJ can get along, hell, I know we can get along, because me and AJ, we’ve had some of the best matches TNA and the entire wrestling business has ever seen, and we respect each other for that. But, AJ, I’m putting all of that aside this Sunday at Genesis when we step into that ring one more time, because it’s not about my past, it’s about my future, and if I lose at Genesis, then my future won’t include the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and that’s not what happens with me, I’m Kurt Angle, I’m the best wrestler in the world-

AJ holds his hands up, signalling for Angle to stop.

AJ Styles: Whoa, whoa, Kurt, before you get ahead of yourself ... you say you’re the best wrestler in the world, but we’re gonna find that out this Sunday, and that’s still three days away so we’ve gotta focus for tonight. I wanna win at Genesis just as much as you do, ‘cause this TNA World Heavyweight Championship is my life, it’s the biggest prize in the business, and I will be the happiest guy in the world if I retain my title this Sunday, ‘cause I’m gonna be honest, you’re the guy who poses the biggest threat to me and my title, which is why I respect the hell outta’ you.

Kurt Angle:I can say the same for you after this Sunday, because I’m walking into Genesis as professional wrestling’s only Olympic gold medallist and a 3-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion... and I’m walking out of Genesis as professional wrestling’s only Olympic gold medallist and the current TNA World ... Heavyweight ... Champion. Oh, it’s real ... it’s damn real.

AJ Styles:Well Kurt, how about you put your fairytales aside and you get ready for our match?

Styles walks out of the picture with his title over his shoulder, followed by Angle a few moments after as we go to a...


*Commercial Break*


Woo’ed Away
Back from the break, “Invasion” blares out and the TNA World Tag Team Champions the British Invasion, Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams, walk through the tunnel, accompanied by the third man of their faction, Rob Terry who has his X Division Championship Feast or Fired briefcase. The trio descend down the rampway, disregarding the heat from the crowd, and they enter the ring.

“Gold Metal” plays getting huge cheers from the crowd as the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Kurt Angle, walks out onto the stage, throwing his arms up as a pyro explodes from behind him and Angle makes his way down the ramp, entering the ring and staring down Magnus and Williams.

Then, “Get Ready To Fly” sounds off and the crowd give off another big pop as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles walks out, flicking back his hood and throwing his arms out as pyro rain falls from the ceiling. Styles walks down the ramp, high-fiving some fans before sliding under the ropes and entering the ring, throwing his arms out to the side again and then holding up his World Title, which Angle stares at intently before it is taken away.

Match 5 | Tag Team
British Invasion vs. AJ Styles & Kurt Angle
Brutus Magnus and Kurt Angle start off the match and to start with, Angle uses his amateur wrestling background to his advantage, catching Magnus off guard and using take-downs and headlocks. However, it only lasts for so long as Brutus’ no-nonsense, ugly offence puts him in control, pummeling Kurt with clubbing blows and repeatedly kicking Angle in the mid-section and in the spine. Magnus tags Doug Williams into the match after two minutes and Williams, who has more technical prowess than his British Invasion associate, picks up where Brutus left off, using some submissions such as armbars and abdominal stretches, until Williams goes for a pumphandle slam, and Angle counters it, forcing his weight onto Doug as the Englishman goes down to the canvas and Kurt makes the cover, 1...... Williams kicks out, as if it needed to be said. Kurt gets Doug to his feet and hits Williams with an uppercut, as Doug falls back into the corner of the ring and Angle repeatedly spears Williams in the mid-section, before lifting Doug to the top rope as Angle climbs up there, and nails Williams with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex from the top rope! Angle makes another cover, 1...... 2...... Brutus Magnus breaks up the pinfall! The crowd boo Magnus, but they soon begin to cheer again when AJ Styles enters the ring and unloads on Magnus with right hands until Magnus is hanging against the ropes and Styles clotheslines Brutus over the top rope, taking himself out of the ring as well!

Kurt Angle gets Doug Williams to his feet and grabs onto him from behind in position for a German suplex but Williams reverses it, spinning around so he is now behind Angle and he lays out “The Wrestling Machine” with a Russian leg sweep! Williams then takes Kurt’s arm straight after and drops his knee on it, getting back up and doing it again before repeatedly stomping away at Angle’s mid-section. With Angle on his knees, Doug locks the Olympic gold medallist in a Camel Clutch and keeps Angle in the submission hold for several moments with AJ Styles and every single fan in the iMPACT! Zone cheering Kurt on, encouraging him to battle on and find his way out of this. It seems to do the trick, as Angle, using all the strength he possesses, manages to struggle to his feet and back into the corner of the ring, as Williams’s spine tastes the turnbuckles! The crowd cheer as Angle has made a comeback, and when Doug walks towards him, Angle grabs Williams and throws him across the ring with a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex! Kurt lets out a reverberating roar and he then tags in AJ Styles, who walks across the ring apron and waits for Doug Williams to get to his feet. Williams gets up, and Styles goes for a flying clothesline, but Doug manages to move out of the way and he tags in Brutus Magnus into the match, as AJ is able to land on his feet. Styles runs at Magnus, but Brutus lifts up AJ above his head in a Gorilla press position, only for Styles to force his way out of it, landing on his feet in front of Magnus with his back turned to the Brit, and AJ immediately nails Magnus with the Pelé kick!

We’re coming towards the end of the match, and Brutus Magnus and Kurt Angle are the legal men in the match. Magnus has been in control of Angle since locking Kurt in a bearhug for a prolonged amount of time, and Brutus, thinking that Angle has nothing left, slowly runs off the ropes, going for a clothesline, but Kurt ducks it, and takes Magnus down with a clothesline of his own! The crowd go wild as Angle and Magnus both lie on the canvas and Kurt slowly but surely looks up at AJ Styles on the ring apron, who has his hand reached out for the tag. Angle gradually edges his way across the ring, but then Ric Flair walks through the tunnel on the stage, and makes his way down the ramp! The crowd pop as they see Flair, and Styles has a smirk on his face, but Flair calls AJ over; Styles can either obey Flair or tag himself into the match. AJ looks at Angle in the ring who is getting to his knees and then looks at Ric who is losing his patience, and Styles sighs, before leaving Angle and walking over to Flair! There is a mixed reaction, some booing AJ for leaving Angle in the ring and some “Wooo”ing for Flair, but meanwhile, Doug Williams has tagged himself into the match and he runs across the ring, rolling up Angle! 1...... 2...... Williams has his feet on the ropes!! ... 3!!!
Winners | British Invasion @ 10:25

“Invasion” blares out to heat from the crowd as Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus, who enters the ring, have their hands raised by the referee, whilst Ric Flair continues to talk to a guilty-looking AJ Styles outside the ring. Magnus and Williams smirk at Kurt Angle who is sitting in the corner of the ring looking exhausted, as Magnus shouts at Angle “Where’s AJ?! Where is he?!” before they leave the ring along with Rob Terry, and Angle looks through the ropes, glaring at Styles who mouths “Sorry” but Flair, on the other hand, grins at the Olympic gold medallist...

Mike Tenay: Tension has definitely risen between AJ Styles and Kurt Angle, with just three days until their TNA World Heavyweight Championship match at Genesis! Good night, everybody, and we’ll see you this Sunday!

A Breeze Through The Door...
However, the show isn’t over yet; we cut backstage, where Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are watching the proceedings of the show in their office, and the door abruptly swings open, as Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley storm in, both not looking happy.

Eric Bischoff: What are you two doing-

Mick Foley: Oh, don’t worry, Eric, we’re not staying for long.

Bischoff smiles, taking comfort in that fact.

Jeff Jarrett: Me and Mick don’t get along, that’s clear to see, but we can both agree on one thing; we don’t like what we’re seeing.

Hulk Hogan: What do you mean?

Mick Foley: You know damn well what we’re talkin’ about, Hulkster! Guys like me and Jeff, we give our blood, our sweat and our tears to put this company on the map, and then you two come to TNA and you ignore what we’ve done for TNA and you go around saying you’ve made this company what it is today.

Hulk opens his mouth, about to talk, but Jarrett beats him to it.

Jeff Jarrett: Don’t even think about opening that damn mouth of yours, Hulk. We’re sick and tired of the buzz that was goin’ around before you arrived, and now that you’re here, we’re even more pissed off. We ain’t gonna sugar-coat it for either of ya’, so to tell ya’ right now...

Jarrett looks at Foley, who does the honours...

Mick Foley: We quit!

There is an eery silence in the room and Jarrett and Foley then walk out, and Hulk and Bischoff look at each other, not knowing what to say as the screen fades to black...

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

From PWInsider.com:

Bobby Lashley and his wife Kristal are not expected to remain with TNA for much longer. The promo Kristal cut last week is effectively the beginning of the end for their tenure with the company, and they could be written out as soon as at Genesis.

Matt and Nick Jackson, known as the Young Bucks, are expected to debut soon after they were signed last month, but it is not known if any other signings will be made in the near future. Names such as Ken Anderson, Brian Kendrick and numerous talents from ROH have been thrown around, but nothing has been heard about it.

Several releases have been confirmed this week, including Raven and Scott Steiner. The word is that they were informed that there were no plans for them, so they both agreed to depart on good terms. Whether they will ever return in the future is not known.

This Thursday's iMPACT! is going to have to cram in a lot in the show, with Genesis coming up this Sunday and only two matches confirmed, those being AJ Styles versus Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the British Invasion defending the TNA World Tag Team Championships against Hernandez and Matt Morgan, at least five matches will have to be scheduled.
There's the first batch of news for the thread, and a preview should be up soon, as well as the show. I did my best to explain the releases of Raven and Steiner, I decided on the releases whilst I was writing the first show and doing some planning and unfortunately I couldn't see them fitting in. They might return if I have any significant ideas, but right now I don't. They're getting on a bit as well, and I enjoy working with younger talent as opposed to veterans.

TNA iMPACT! Preview | January 14, 2010
The iMPACT! Zone | Orlando, Florida

Ten days removed from January 4th, a historic night where TNA officially declared war and the Hogan/Bischoff era came full circle, iMPACT! comes to you again from the iMPACT! Zone in Orlando, Florida as always. The main event will see the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, team with the man he will defend professional wrestling's richest and most prestigious prize against this Sunday at Genesis, Kurt Angle, to face the TNA World Tag Team Champions the British Invasion who will also be in action at Genesis as they defend their titles against the power duo of Hernandez and Matt Morgan. Which team will emerge victorious in this gold-studded extravaganza? Speaking of Hernandez and Morgan, they will receive a warm-up match for Genesis as they face one of the most decorated tag teams in professional wrestling history, Team 3D, and Hernandez and Morgan will want to send a loud and clear message to Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams, who will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the contest. Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan had confrontations with Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley next week, and both Jarrett and Foley are scheduled to be at the show, but what will go down?

Last Monday night saw many debuts and returns, and three names on everybodies lips are Jeff Hardy, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman. They all made their returns to TNA, with Hardy showing up at the climax of the Terrordome match and subsequently planting Homicide with a Twist of Fate and Hall and Waltman re-uniting with their "brother for life" Kevin Nash to wreak havoc over TNA like only they know how. We will hear from Hardy and "The Band", but what will be on their minds? Also, the X Division Champion The Amazing Red will discover who he will defend his coveted title against at Genesis, as Suicide, Consequences Creed and Homicide fight in a Triple Threat Match to determine the #1 contender. In addition, see such wrestlers as Desmond Wolfe, "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero, the Motor City Machine Guns, the TNA Global Champion Eric Young and more!

See all of this and more on iMPACT! by tuning into Spike TV at 9/8CT to catch the best professional wrestling programme of the week, only in TNA!

Scheduled For iMPACT!:
AJ Styles and Kurt Angle vs. The British Invasion
We hear from Jeff Hardy and The Band!
Consequences Creed vs. Homicide vs. Suicide
Hernandez and Matt Morgan vs. Team 3D

"Deja Vu"

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Hmm, expecting a AJ and Kurt brawl to end the match with BI - can't see you having the tag champs lose clean to two guys who aren't going to work well together. Sames goes for Morgan and Hernandez, they should really come out with a win aswell. I'm going to have to pull for Homicide in this #1 contenders match - Suicide can fudge off, and Creed, well Creed shouldn't be X-Division champion imo.

"The Band" better make it a short stay in TNA, don't want them all over this iMPACT, hopefully just a shortish segment from them. And be intresting to see what Hardy has to say - on the whole drugs front.

Pope, Wolfe fued thank you. :)

Looking good so far, should be an intruiging show.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Thought I'd give you some comments regarding Genesis.

About the style, I don't mind how it's recapped as nobody expects you to start with a full PPV but I thought the way you wrote the show was too informal. Something as simple as writing 'MATCH 1- Bobby Lashley vs Robert Roode' would have made it more appealing overall. As for that very match, I liked Lashley's intent to get out of TNA until Roode pissed him off by shouting at him. The ending was kinda heelish on Beer Money's part so I guess they're gonna be kinda tweeners now. I was pretty shocked to see Lashley's TNA tenure end just like that. Kinda confusing as a whole as I don't even know how this match came about. Lol'd @ Hall no-showing. Vintage.

The tag title match is next, and there were a few good spots. I liked the British Invasion using dirty tactics to get an advantage and I liked the use of the chop block to take the big man down. Working on Morgan's leg is about an effective a strategy as the Brits could have. There was about 30 seconds of Hernandez in the match and it disappointed me. The finish also came too much out of nowhere, even if that was what you were pulling for. Just made Super Mex seem weak tbh. Good to see some distance between Flair and AJ, hopefully he isn't ruined like irl.

The X-Division match would have been good to see and the recaps still made it seem pretty good. I liked Red retaining as it could mean that you're putting an end to the Suicide character and bringing back Kaz. Please do that. Red isn't really an entertaining champ so give him some more character in coming weeks, as great matches aren't enough. Daniels after the match made me think heel turn, but you intentionally wrote that the fans continued to cheer him so I'll look to see what comes of this. World Elite segment backstage doesn't do much besides make me think that Homicide will become X-Division champ in the near future, a move I don't oppose at all.

The Global Championship match comes up right after Eric Young's promo and this one could go either way imo. I'd like to think that these two would have good chemistry irl and it seemed like it with the way you wrote the match. Good counter from the Dinero Experience into the DDT and then the use of the Camel Clutch. Young has a nice moveset, simple yet diverse. The ending with the piledriver counter was nice and I liked the intentional set-up of the Dinero Express instead of ZOMG HE FELL INTO THE CORNER~! Good match, and a shock title change in my eyes. The Pope should be above this level. The limo segment backstage makes me think of Mr Anderson by the simple use of the 'Mr'. And I've read ahead, but whatever.

I don't know what Hogan is doing with MCMG, or what this whole storyline's point is, but I'd expect the Hulkster to be doing something a lot bigger. However, this could well mean a push for Sabin and Shelley, something that would be epic. Good to have Waltman start the match and get the crowd pumped up with the fast pace and then use Nash to slow it down and execute some domination. I was first confused with Hogan getting Waltman the chair but I realised he was teasing a turn. Seemed random tbh. Good to see MCMG win, albeit after Hall no-no-shows and then fucks up, and good to see Hogan remain in their corner. Daniels cuts a weird promo and I don't know whether he will turn or not turn. I think he could work with the prophetic tweener character for a while but I wouldn't mind a full-fledged heel turn either.

Since Impact is posted, I don't really see the point of continuing with a proper review. So yeah, just some small comments. I'm not a fan of Anderson and how he went over Hardy and Wolfe, but it was still a great way to debut him for your BTB. The main event was another match written very well and I liked the tension between Flair and AJ. I'm not too sure about how Styles/Anderson will work but it's sure to be interesting.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution


TNA Impact Preview | January 21, 2010
Impact Zone | Orlando, Florida

Just four days removed from Genesis, Impact is back on SpikeTV, and the momentum from Genesis is sure to be continued, as a lot is going on in the Impact Zone, including Mr. Anderson's Impact debut. Anderson became the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship after being added to the Desmond Wolfe/Jeff Hardy match by Eric Bischoff and winning it, ensuring a title opportunity. Many fans will be asking why Anderson came to TNA and what he wants to achieve, but now they will be asking when the loud-mouth will use his golden opportunity. Will it be this week? Next week? The week after? At Against All Odds? Only time will tell, and the time for answers could be tonight. Speaking of Wolfe and Hardy, Jeff is in action this week against Homicide, the man who Hardy attacked on the January 4th edition of Impact. Will Hardy prevail, or will Homicide get his revenge? Plus, will Wolfe be watching?

On the topic of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, the current reigning Champion, AJ Styles, successfully defended his title against Kurt Angle to ensure that Angle will not get another title opportunity this year - but it didn't come without controversy, and there was a lot of it. When Styles was down and out after receiving a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex, Angle was ready to move in for the kill, but Ric Flair, who was ringside, climbed onto the ring apron and nailed Angle with the title belt, rendering the "Wrestling Machine" almost unconscious. Then, AJ recovered, not knowing what had happened, and connected with the 450 Splash before covering Angle for the victory, but now Styles knows about what happened, what will he have to say to Kurt and to Flair when he speaks?

At Genesis, it was supposed to be the Motor City Machine Guns taking on Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, but Hall didn't show up in time for the match, so Sean Waltman took his place. Nash and Waltman almost won the match, until the referee was knocked out, and then everything kicked off. Hulk Hogan, who The Band told to make his decision as to whether he would join them or not, entered the ring with a steel chair at the command of Waltman and then Hall finally appeared, coming to the ring with a steel chair. Scott went to hit Alex Shelley with the chair but Shelley ducked out of the way and Hall accidentally hit his friend Nash, followed by Hogan hitting Waltman as Chris Sabin hit Sean with the Cradle Shock and won the match. Hall will address the TNA fans as well as Nash and Waltman this week, but what will he have to say, and will the reaction of Nash and Waltman be?

D'Angelo Dinero became the new TNA Global Champion at Genesis after defeating Eric Young, but this week Young isn't wasting any time in his quest to regain his title, as he invokes his re-match clause. Will "The Pope" retain and continue his ascent up the TNA ladder, or will he be brought back down to Earth by the cunning leader of the World Elite?

Also this week, "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe is in action against the "Feature Presentation" Sean Morley, plus the newest tag team in TNA, Generation Me, comprising of Jeremy and Max Buck, square off against Lethal Consequences. Will the brothers begin their TNA tenures with a victory, or will Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed overcome the youngsters?

To see all of this and more, tune into SpikeTV at 9/8CT to catch the action from TNA Impact!

Scheduled For Impact:
We hear from AJ Styles, Mr. Anderson and Scott Hall!
Jeff Hardy faces Homicide!
Eric Young challenges D'Angelo Dinero for the Global Championship!
Samoa Joe squares off against Sean Morley!
Generation Me make their TNA debut against Lethal Consequences!

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution


TNA Impact | January 21, 2010
Impact Zone | Orlando, Florida


Looking For Redemption...
We begin with a video package which recaps this past Sunday’s Genesis Pay-Per-View, where Ken Anderson debuted and became the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and AJ Styles retained his title against Kurt Angle after Ric Flair screwed Angle whilst Styles was down. Afterwards, the camera is in Kurt’s locker room, where he is sitting on a chair and staring at a television monitor, seething after being reminded of what transpired at Genesis. Angle then gets up, throwing the towel which is over his shoulders to the floor, and leaves the locker room, muttering “Where is he?” on his way out.

Then, the opening video plays and “Cross The Line” blares out as we enter the Impact! Zone and fireworks ascend from the stage. The camera zooms in on the four-sided ring and then pans the audience, before crossing over to Mike Tenay and Taz who are at the announce table.

Mike Tenay: We’re four nights removed from Genesis, and tonight the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles will speak, after Ric Flair helped him retain his title against Kurt Angle, who we saw backstage and still looked furious after what happened this past Sunday. Welcome to Impact! everybody, I’m Mike Tenay alongside Taz here at ringside, and also tonight we’ll hear from the newest acquisition, Mr. Anderson, who became the #1 contender to the World Title Genesis after defeating Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy, who were supposed to face each other one-on-one, in a triple threat match!

Taz: I’m pretty excited to see Mr. Anderson here in TNA, Mike, he’s got all the tools needed to be a big star, especially here, and it looks like we’ll see AJ Styles and Mr. Anderson for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship soon, which will be one hell of an encounter! And I’m looking forward to hearing from Scott Hall, who had the finger pointed at him by Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman after Nash and Waltman lost to the Motor City Machine Guns at Genesis as Hall was no-where to be seen until during the match.

Mike Tenay: We crowned a new TNA Global Champion at Genesis as D’Angelo Dinero defeated Eric Young, and Dinero is in action tonight against Young yet again, as Eric invokes his re-match clause.

Taz: These two guys have had two great matches over the past week, and I’m expecting more of the same tonight, Professor! But do you know what else I’m looking forward to seeing? The debut of a new tag team in TNA, going by the name of Generation Me! Max and Jeremy Buck, two brothers, square off against Lethal Consequences!

Get Ready For Answers
Then, “Get Ready To Fly” blares out to a pop from the crowd and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles walks out onto the stage, not looking very exuberant. His pyro goes off without being accompanied by a pose, as Styles walks down the ramp, looking at the floor the whole time before entering the ring, immediately taking a microphone.

AJ Styles: All week, ever since Genesis, I’ve been getting people coming up to me and asking about how Ric Flair screwed Kurt Angle, and y’know, I can understand that ... but then, there are people who are coming up and saying to me that I screwed Kurt Angle, and that really gets under my skin, ‘cause obviously they’re not looking at the big picture.

AJ raises his head up and shakes his head.

AJ Styles: I’m only gonna say it once, when Ric came out and hit Kurt with the title belt, I didn’t know what was going on, I was on the other side of the ring, face-down, so I didn’t see anything. It is what it is, but now that’s out of the way, people are gonna be spreading rumours that I set up the whole thing with Ric, but I have nothing to do with Ric, I don’t know what the hell he was doing at Genesis and I don’t know why he did what he did, I wanna know why just as much as all of these fans in the Impact! Zone...

Cheap pop for AJ.

AJ Styles: So Ric ... if you’re back there, I want you to come down to this ring, stand face-to-face with me unlike this past Sunday, look me in the eyes and tell me why you had to get involved at Genesis.

Styles turns his attention to the stage, where there is nobody to be seen and all that can be heard is the audience, who are cheering and screaming. Then, “Also Sprach Zarathustra” blares out to a big pop and Ric Flair struts out, with a big smile on his face as always, as he walks down the ramp, with AJ’s spirits not lifted by Ric’s presence. The “Nature Boy” steps into the ring and he takes a microphone, continuing to strut around the ring afterwards.

Ric Flair: Wooooooooooooo!!!

Cheap pop for Flair, who is grinning at Styles.

Ric Flair: Can ya’ feel it, AJ? Can ya’? There must be somethin’ in the air here in the Impact! Zone, ‘cause I am ready to party!

More cheers for Naitch.

Ric Flair: I may not have a reason to, although I have a free pass ‘cause I’m a 16-time World Champion .,. but you do, AJ, You’re still the TNA World Heavyweight Champion! And that’s the least that the face of professional wrestlin’ deserves!

Styles looks perplexed by Flair.

Ric Flair: Ya’ heard me right, Champ; you’re the Ric Flair, the Nature Boy, of this generation, and that’s where I come onto Genesis. You wanted answers, that’s what you’re gonna get. Y’see, I’ve been waitin’ for a long time to see somebody step into the ring and do things that amaze me, and you’re that guy, AJ ... and I wasn’t gonna let the chance get away! You need the TNA World Heavyweight Championship as much as professional wrestling needs you, and Kurt Angle holding up your title wasn’t gonna be the way to close Genesis, so I took matters into my own hands, that’s me, AJ, I’m the dirtiest player in the game – Wooooo! - and if you wanna be the best ... you’d better stop questionin’ me and start thankin’ me for the fact that you’ve still got that title.

AJ Styles: Did I just hear what I think I heard? In case you’ve forgotten, and you’ve been too caught up in all the change going on here, I won this title without you, I’ve defended it time and time again up until today without you, and I don’t need you to keep it. I’m flattered by what you think about me, I really am, Naitch, but I became what I am today without anybody’s help or dirty tactics.

AJ then takes a step closer to Flair, getting right in his face.

AJ Styles: I don’t want you getting involved with me or my matches, alright? I get it, you’re a 16-time World Champion, you’re the limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’, dealin’, son of a gun, but I am what I am, I’m the Phenomenal AJ Styles, and I’m the TNA World Heavyweight Champion!

Cheers for AJ, as he raises his belt in the air above his head.

AJ Styles: If you think I’m givin’ you a hard time, Ric ... then if I were you, I’d stay well out of Kurt’s way, because he’s more pissed than anybody that you interfered in our match ... and the only thing you’ll be feelin’ is a broken ankle, so maybe it’ll be for the best if you run to the back, hop back in your black stretch limo, and get the hell outta’ here before he kicks your ass ... or I do.

“Get Ready To Fly” plays again to a pop as AJ Styles looks into Ric Flair’s eyes for a few more moments before leaving the ring, walking up the ramp and looking back at Flair once more before disappearing behind the curtain, as Flair stands in the ring, alone. Ric turns his head to the crowd who are cheering him, and he smirks, but then Kurt Angle runs down the ramp and enters the ring, immediately taking Flair down to the canvas and locking Ric in the Ankle Lock! The crowd go nuts as Flair is tapping out frantically and Kurt shouts “You like that, Ric?! You like that?!” but then a dozen security guards run to the scene and pull Angle away, separating Kurt and Ric, who can barely stand, from each other.

Mike Tenay: Kurt Angle almost snapped Ric Flair’s ankle in half there, but I bet Angle had a lot more in mind than just that, Taz!

Taz: When Angle’s pissed, he’s capable of anything, Professor, and I haven’t seen him in a worse mood than I just did, so who knows what he could have done to Flair?

Mike Tenay: It’s clear that Kurt’s out to get Flair, but what about AJ? What’s Angle’s opinion on Styles after what happened at Genesis? Well, we’ve still got the rest of the show left so maybe, just maybe, we’ll find out!


*Commercial Break*


A New Generation
Back from the break, “Our Generation” blares out and TNA’s newest tag team, Generation Me, walk out; Max and Jeremy sprint down the ramp and slide into the ring, standing in the corner as they wait for their opponents to arrive.

Then, “Pomp And Consequences” plays, getting a lukewarm reception, and Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed walk out, making their way down the ramp and entering the ring.

Match 1 | Tag Team
Generation Me vs. Lethal Consequences
The two teams, showing a mutual respect for one another, shake hands at the start of the match, but after that, they get down to business, with Max and Jay Lethal starting off the match and Lethal not letting his opponent get much offence in. After some basic moves, such as arm wrenches, clotheslines and headlocks, the aerial prowess of the competitors in this match shows, as Max and Lethal use high-flying attacks, with Max almost winning the match after a moonsault, only for Lethal to kick out. Afterwards, Jeremy and Consequences Creed, both fresh, enter the match and it is more of the same, but Creed takes a more technical approach rather than a high-flying one, and Generation Me get the opportunity to showcase their teamwork, almost winning after a suplex by Jeremy with Max flying off the top rope afterwards and nailing Creed with a leg drop, but Consequences gets the shoulder up in the nick of time. The match ends with Max and Creed as the legal men and Max hits Creed with a rolling fireman’s carry slam. Jeremy then enters the ring and sends Jay Lethal off the ring apron with a dropkick, and with Creed down and both Max and Jeremy in the ring, Jeremy climbs to the top rope and nails Consequences with a 450 Splash, followed by a moonsault by Max, completing their double-team manoeuvre called “More Bang for Your Buck”! Max covers Creed, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winners | Generation Me @ 6:26

“Our Generation” blares out, confirming Generation Me’s victory on their TNA debut, and Max gets to his feet as he and Jeremy have their hands raised by the referee to the cheers of the crowd who are clearly impressed by their performance and the two brothers embrace, before leaving the ring and walking up the ramp.

Mike Tenay: What a debut for Max and Jeremy, Generation Me, picking up a victory over Lethal Consequences, former World Tag Team Champions! Maybe we’ll see these two guys holding gold soon, huh, Taz?

Taz: If that match is anything to go by, Professor, then sure, why not? They’ve obviously got bags of chemistry with them being brothers, and I think they’ve put all of the other tag teams in TNA on notice!

Mike Tenay: We’ve got two big matches to come tonight, Jeff Hardy facing Homicide and D’Angelo Dinero defending the TNA Global Championship which he won this past Sunday at Genesis against Eric Young, who is invoking his re-match clause.

Red-Dy For A Fight
Backstage, Christy Hemme is standing by with a microphone.

Christy Hemme: I’m standing with the X Division Champion Amazing Red and Don West, and, Don, I believe you requested this interview time?

Don West: I sure did, Christy, and I’ll tell you and all of the TNA fans why. Y’see, last Sunday at Genesis, my man Amazing Red successfully defended his X Division Championship against Suicide, but still he’s being overlooked by some guys in the locker room, and I know that because me and Red walked into the locker room before the show, and a few guys actually had the nerve to say to us that Red’s win at Genesis was a fluke.

Don momentarily turns to the camera, and he doesn’t look happy.

Don West: If they wanna prove a point to Red, then I dare them to try it in the ring, ‘cause this guy is one of the top guys in TNA, and that’s why he’s the X Division Champion. If anybody wants a piece of Red tonight ... then come get him, ‘cause we’re on our way out there right now!

A red-faced West (pun intended) walks out of the shot with Amazing Red, as we enter a...


*Commercial Break*



False Alarm
Back from the break, “Red Remix” is playing and the X Division Champion, Amazing Red, and Don West are standing in the ring, and West has a microphone.

Don West: Alright, who wants a piece of...

West is interrupted when “Invasion” blares out and Brutus Magnus, Doug Williams and Rob Terry, the British Invasion, walk out ... and Terry is holding his Feast or Fired briefcase! West and Red are shocked, and Terry points to his briefcase, mouthing “Now” before he walks down the ramp with Doug and Brutus in tow. Rob enters the ring and gives the briefcase to the referee, as the bell rings, beginning the match!

Match 2 | Singles | X Division Championship
Amazing Red© vs. Rob Terry
The X Division Champion Amazing Red ran a big risk when he issued an open challenge to the TNA locker room, he had no idea that he was going to defend his title, but he has to because Rob Terry is cashing in his Feast or Fired briefcase. Terry uses his superior size to dominate Red, but not exactly setting the world alight with his offence. Rob quickly makes advances towards finishing off Red and the contest after wearing down the Champ, but the defiant high-flyer refuses to quit, desperately trying to counter Terry’s offence, and surprisingly to some, Red is able to build up some momentum, taking the big man down with a dropkick and following up with a standing moonsault, making the cover, 1...... 2...... Terry kicks out! Red is not overly shocked that Rob kicked out, and he continues to wear the Brit down, but when Red runs off the ropes, Terry nails the high-flyer with a big boot! Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams cheer Rob on from ringside and count along with the referee as Rob makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Red gets the shoulder up! Don West rejoices whilst Magnus and Williams are astounded and Terry slams his fists against the canvas in anger as Brutus and Doug shout at him, Williams saying “Put him away for God’s sake!” and Rob turns around, but Red manages to bring Rob down with a drop toe hold and he rolls over Terry’s back, rolling him up out of no-where! 1...... 2...... 3!!! Red retains!
Winner and still X Division Champion | Amazing Red @ 5:52

“Red Remix” blares out to a big pop and Amazing Red gets to his feet, as his hand is raised by the referee and he is handed his X Division Championship. Don West is ecstatic, and he calls Red out of the ring right away as he leaves the ring to join West and Don raises Red’s hand in the air like a proud father, but the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams, are incensed; they step into the ring and come face-to-face with a dejected Rob Terry, who has his hands on his hips and is looking down, but Magnus shouts at him, “Look at us, you idiot!” and Rob slowly looks up. Williams then calls for a microphone and he is given one.

Doug Williams: What the hell are you playing at?! You’re making fools out of us, and you’re making fools out of our great country!

The crowd begin to chant “USA!” and this draws Williams’ attention.

Doug Williams: Shut up!

More heat for Williams and Brutus shakes his head at the crowd, before he takes the mic from Doug.

Brutus Magnus: Anybody, even these people, could have beaten Amazing Red and become the X Division Champion, but no, you had to screw up again, didn’t you, Rob? I’m sick and tired of it, Doug’s sick and tired of it, and ... well, that’s all that matters, so get the hell out of this ring and out of our sighs, because you’re a disgrace!

Terry sighs, and walks away, about to leave the ring... but then he turns around again, and takes Doug Williams down with a clothesline! The crowd pop as Rob unloads on Williams, but Brutus Magnus defends Doug, pulling Terry away and stomping on him repeatedly until Doug gets to his feet and he joins in. They get Terry up and Magnus gets Rob in a Bearhug, as Doug runs off the ropes and hits Terry with a flying European uppercut, as Rob is planted in the canvas! The crowd boo Magnus and Williams, as “Invasion” plays and the duo leave, with Terry still laid out in the ring.

Mike Tenay: Disgusting actions coming from Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams, they’ve got a pretty damn short fuse, huh, Taz?

Taz: Hey, I’m impartial here, Professor-

Mike Tenay: How can you possibly be impartial? They just betrayed Rob Terry and left him flat in the ring!

Taz: Well technically Terry betrayed them as he fired the first shot if ya’ know what I mean, Professor, and I would feel the same way if one of my boys literally had a coveted title put in front of them on a silver platter and they didn’t take it.

Mike Tenay: Let’s go to JB backstage.

Pimped Up
Jeremy Borash is standing backstage with a microphone, alongside the new TNA Global Champion, “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero.

Jeremy Borash: Thanks, Mike, and standing with me is the new TNA Global Champion D’Angelo Dinero, and Pope, you won the title this past Sunday at Genesis, but tonight the former Champion Eric Young is invoking his re-match clause. Your thoughts?

Dinero removes his shades, and looks at Borash.

D’Angelo Dinero: Do I look like I’m worried to you, Jerry?

Jeremy Borash: No, but it’s Jeremy...

D’Angelo Dinero: Yadda, yadda, you’ll always be Jerry to me. Y’see, Pope is not worried, these hands have not shaken since last Sunday at Genesis when I became the new TNA Global Champion, and Eric Young can bring the rest of his so-called “World Elite” with him, because they are no match for Pope’s congregation that are in the Impact! Zone here tonight in Orlando, Florida.

Cheap pop for “The Pope”.

D’Angelo Dinero: This Global Champion is just as thankful as you and the congregation that I now hold this title, because it gathered a hell of a lot of cobwebs and dust when Eric Young had it stored behind his Canadian flag and his superhero action figures, but Pople has cleaned this belt since last Sunday, he rubbed it until he could see his handsome face in it. Eric, I am not like you, I do not climb to the mountain top only to hide behind the biggest boulder I can find, which is in your case your “World Elite”, because I will stand before you and every single other follower in the TNA locker room, hold my prize high and say to their faces that they can try and fail at taking this away from Pope.

Dinero adjusts the position of the Global Championship over his shoulder, before continuing.

D’Angelo Dinero: What is that saying, Jerry? “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again”, but no, for yours truly it’s “if at first you don’t succeed, don’t try again against the congregation’s noble steed”. Oh, and not to mention ... that Pope, is pimpin’.

With a swagger in his step, Dinero walks out of the shot, to loud cheers from the crowd.


*Commercial Break*


Nations Apart
“Cool Dude” blares out as we come back from the break, and Sean Morley walks out, getting a lukewarm reaction from the crowd. Morley walks down the ramp, with his trademark towel wrapped around his waist, and he enters the ring, waiting for his opponent.

“Nation Of Violence” plays and Samoa Joe walks out, getting a mixed reaction. Not sporting any facepaint, Joe walks down the ramp with a towel over his shoulders and he steps into the ring, putting his towel down and looking straight at Sean Morley in the opposite corner of the ring.

Match 3 | Singles
Samoa Joe vs. Sean Morley
At the start of the match, a fresh Sean Morley jumps right into the action with Samoa Joe, not backing down, but after a minute the near-insurmountable task at hand sinks in on Morley, as Joe begins to dominate; after a knee to the skull and a sidewalk slam, Joe perches Morley up on the top rope and the “Samoan Submission Machine” then lifts Sean up, planting Morley with a Muscle Buster! An emotionless Joe immediately makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner | Samoa Joe @ 1:34

“Nation Of Violence” plays again and the no-nonsense Samoa Joe gets back up, immediately demanding a microphone which he receives.

Samoa Joe: Y’know, I didn’t know what to think of this whole Bischoff/Hogan regime at first, but after seeing what they’ve got to offer me in the ring ... I’m not impressed. Is that guy, (Points to Morley) a washed-up has-been, the best you’ve got for me, Hulk? Seriously? Hell, even seeing you get in your red and yellow, lace your boots, and step into this ring to face me is a bigger challenge than that.

The crowd pop at the thought of Hogan getting in the red and yellow.

Samoa Joe: Eric and Hulk, you might think you’re responsible for TNA rapidly becoming the biggest organization in the world, but it’s guys like me, who shed blood, sweat and tears for this company and this industry and putting in years of hard work who are responsible for this company even existing, let alone being where it is today!

The crowd applaud and cheer, starting a “TNA!” chant.

Samoa Joe: Shut the hell up, none of you have done a damn thing for this company so you can all keep your mouths shut!

This gets Joe’s heat back, as the crowd boo.

Samoa Joe: So Eric, Hulk, if you don’t care about the guys that were here years before you arrived in TNA, then I’m gonna send you a loud and clear message. Next week, right here on Impact! I’m gonna lay down an open challenge to anybody who either aren’t in TNA or dragged their asses in along with Bischoff and Hogan. I’m putting every single wrestler in the world on notice, so somebody had better step up, or else I’m gonna have to send the message to Bischoff and Hogan ... personally.

Joe drops the microphone to the canvas and “Nation Of Violence” sounds off once again, as Joe leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, turning around once more to look at the crowd before leaving.

Mike Tenay: Well, Sean Morley not given any favours on his TNA in-ring debut, being beaten in convincing fashion by Samoa Joe and Joe’s laid down an open challenge for next week for any new TNA wrestler or un-signed wrestler to face him one-on-one!

Taz: Wow, I can’t wait for it, Professor, so many possible names running round in my head right now, it could be anybody! But I wonder if anyone will have the guts to face Samoa Joe after his victory over the unfortunate Sean Morley right there!

Wanna Get “Personal”?
We cut backstage, where Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are watching the show on a television screen, and both Bischoff and Hogan look somewhat perplexed.

Eric Bischoff: Well that took some balls.

Hulk Hogan: I’ve gotta say, brother, Joe didn’t exactly make himself sound too friendly, but I’m impressed.

Eric looks at Hulk in a surprised way.

Eric Bischoff: Really? You’re impressed by someone as dangerous as Joe who says they’re gonna lay their hands on you if their challenge isn’t answered next week? You better hope somebody steps up to the task, Hulkster.

Hulk Hogan: Yeah, I do hope someone does, but not because he’s gonna come back here and fight me if nobody does, no, I wanna see what he can do, a match lasting one and a half minutes isn’t a lot, brother, and we wanna see the young talent shine here in TNA, so here’s our chance to see if this guy can be the cream of the crop. And besides, I’m not completely out of the game, jack, if I gotta’ get in the red and yellow then I will.

Please don’t. The screen fades with an eery silence in the office, and...

Hey Yo
Elsewhere, Scott Hall is walking down a dark, dull corridor, on his way to the ring.

Mike Tenay: There’s Scott Hall, and it looks like he’s on his way to the ring! Don’t go anywhere, because you don’t want to miss this, ladies and gentlemen!


*Commercial Break*


Hey Yo; Part Deux
Back from the commercial break, “Marvellous Me” blares out to a pop from the crowd as Scott Hall walks out, wearing a leather jacket, a black shirt and denim jeans, and Hall wipes his hair back, before throwing his toothpick in the direction of the camera and continuing to walk down the ramp. Scott steps into the ring and walks around the ring, eliciting a reaction from each side of the Impact! Zone, before taking a microphone as the fans wait for it...

Scott Hall: ... ... Hey yo.

There it is~! The crowd cheer for Hall’s trademark catchphrase.

Scott Hall: I didn’t just walk out here for the hell of it, I’m out here for a reason, and that’s ‘cause I need to set a few things straight with Big Kev and Sean, so guys, come out here so we can talk, ‘ite?

Immediately, “Strut” plays and Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman walk out, getting heat from the crowd. Nash and Waltman make their way to the ring, entering the squared circle and Hall holds up his hand wanting to do the signature hand gesture with his “brothers for life” but Nash and Waltman walk straight past him, taking microphones.

Kevin Nash: You wanna set the record straight, Scott? Go ahead, ‘cause it’s gonna be pretty damn funny watching you try.

Hall looks at Kevin in a confused manner.

Kevin Nash: Don’t try making it seem like you don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, Scott, because you do. Not once since I’ve met you have you managed to give me a good reason for all of the stupid things you’ve done, all the times you’ve let me down ... but d’ya know what’s even more stupid? What’s more stupid is that I’ve put up with it every – single – time.

Scott goes to speak, but Nash shakes his head at Hall.

Kevin Nash: I talk, you listen, simple. I’ve lost count of the amount of times you’ve let me down and done stupid things, and all the times I’ve stuck up for you. Y’know, I’ve met a lot of people in this business and I’ve made a lot of friends in this business, and a lot of them always say to me “Hey Kev, why the hell do you hang around with Scott Hall? He’s an idiot, he threw his life away years ago”, hell, even Hunter and Shawn say that to me now because that’s how bad it’s really gotten but every single time I’ve always said to those people that there’s more to you than that, when each time I do it makes me pissed off with you more and more. I’ve had to carry the weight of you and your life and your mistakes ever since I met you, because you can’t do it by yourself, and you’ve never even tried to. You’ve always come to your brother Kev when you’ve needed help, and for some reason I keep doing it over and over again, but you’ve never done a damn thing for me, man; I could be a hell of a lot more than I am right now if I didn’t have to deal with you all the time.

Scott Hall: Look, man, I’m sorry, but I just wanted to make sure that we’re all cool with each other-

Kevin Nash: No! We’re not cool with each other, Scott! There needs to be two guys to make a friendship, and you’re on your own now, because I am sick and tired of giving you chances, I am sick and tired of carrying your weight on my back, and I am sick and tired of having to keep your life in one piece! If it wasn’t for me, you would be sitting at home and- wait, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even have a damn home! And if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have a single cent of money, because you would have thrown it all away on drinking and gambling and God knows what else! I’ve done so much for you, but yet you can’t even do something for me and Sean for just one single night? You were supposed to be at Genesis to fight the Motor City Machine Guns with me, but you don’t even show up, and you haven’t even told us why yet.

Scott Hall: My bad, man, I had a rough night, I might’ve had a little drink and I couldn’t make it to Orlando for the match, but hey, Sean did a great job, good work man, and c’mon, we’re meant to be brothers for life-

Waltman quickly takes the microphone from Nash and stops Hall.

Sean Waltman: F**CK FOR LIFE, SCOTT! You’re too stupid for anyone to consider your opinion and you’re not able to stay off the drinking for one night for your “brothers for life”? And don’t even think about opening your mouth again, because I’m sick of having to hear you talk and say that everything can be fine, ‘cause we’re not helping you anymore!

Kevin Nash: I’ve wanted to beat the crap outta’ you for so long, Scott, to let all of my frustration go, and now you can find out what it feels like having the weight of an over-the-hill, selfish, washed-up son of a b*tch on your shoulders ‘cause I know exactly what it’s like, but now ... it’s all gone.

Nash drops his microphone and kicks Hall in the gut, pummelling Scott with clubbing blows until Hall is down, and now Nash and Waltman are assaulting their former “brother for life”! The crowd boo Nash and Waltman, but before the situation gets any worse, Hulk Hogan and the Motor City Machine Guns head down the ramp, Sabin and Shelley armed with steel chairs, and enter the ring as Nash and Waltman quickly exit the ring and depart via the crowd! The crowd boo Nash and Waltman but then cheer as “Rockhouse” blares out and Hall is helped to his feet by the Motor City Machine Guns and Scott and Hogan have a heated stare-down before both making the “brothers for life” hand gesture as a sign of mutual respect, as Hogan runs through his catalogue of signature poses and Sabin and Shelley play to the crowd as Hall stands in the middle of the ring, not knowing what to think...

Mike Tenay: The emotions of Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman overspilled and it resulted in them attacking their former friend Scott Hall, but luckily Hulk Hogan and the Motor City Machine Guns were able to make the save for Hall and send Nash and Waltman packing!

Taz: It looks like Hall doesn’t know exactly what to think, Professor, and I’m not surprised; two guys he thought were his best friends betrayed him and he’s a bit, y’know, dumb so maybe he doesn’t know what to think pretty often!

The Boy Who Cried “Wolfe”
There is now a split-screen, and on one side Jeff Hardy is walking down a corridor on the way to the ring for his match with Homicide, and on the other side is Desmond Wolfe, who isn’t competing but has the spotlight on him, and he has some popcorn in one hand and a can of beer in the other...

Mike Tenay: Jeff Hardy’s on his way to the ring, but it looks like Desmond Wolfe is as well! But why?

He Has Arrived ... Arrived
Elsewhere, the camera is in the parking lot, where a Hummer pulls up and parks by the wall, and the door flings open, as out steps TNA’s newest acquisition Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Anderson: Hey, you ... yeah, you, get your ass over here.

An innocent black-shirted backstage worker jogs over to Anderson.

Mr. Anderson: Do you really expect me to carry all of these bags? Do ya’?

Worker:Well if I’m able to, then you should too-

Mr. Anderson: Whoa, whoa, buddy, don’t go sayin’ we’re in the same boat, ‘cause we’re not, alright? You’re some momma’s boy earning five dollars an hour from whatever the hell you do, and I am the future TNA World Heavyweight Champion, MISSSSTTTAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH ... ... ANNNDDDEEERRRSSSOOOONNNNN!

The backstage worker is startled as Anderson gets right in his face, and he opens the car’s trunk, getting Anderson’s bags and lifting them up to carry along.

Mr. Anderson: ANNNNNNNNDDDDDEEEERRRSSSSSOOOOONNNNNN!!!

The worker drops Anderson’s bags on the floor after being caught off guard by Anderson, and he looks innocent at KA before picking the bags up again and trudging along...

Taz: There he is, Mike, my boy, the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Mister Anderson...

Mike Tenay: After the break, Jeff...

Taz: Anderson ... haha!

Mike Tenay: Like I was saying, after the break Jeff Hardy is in action against Homicide, don’t go anywhere!


*Commercial Break*


The Enigma’s Light Shines On
Back from the break, and Homicide is just making in his way into the ring with “4150” playing, as he stands in the corner and waits for his high-profile opponent to arrive.

Then, “Modest” blares out to a big pop from the crowd as the distinguished enigma Jeff Hardy walks out, crouching down and nodding his head up and down before making the “Gunz” gesture with his hands as a pyro explodes from the stage and Hardy makes his way down the ramp, entering the ring and immediately climbing to the top rope to pose for his fans. Jeff climbs back down, and it’s time to start the match, but then...

“Hungry Like A Wolfe” plays, getting a lot of heat from the crowd, and Desmond Wolfe walks out, popcorn and beer in hand as he smirks at Hardy, who is annoyed to see him. Desmond walks over to the announce table and steals a production worker’s chair which he sets up behind the announce table to join Mike Tenay and Taz.

Mike Tenay: Well it looks like we’re joined by our, uh, uninvited guest Desmond Wolfe-

Desmond Wolfe: As a matter of fact I was invited, it’s just that nobody told you so that you didn’t get grumpy because someone far greater than you socially, physically and in terms of where I come from, was going to be at the announce table.

Taz: Hey Desmond, what’s up with the beer and popcorn?

Desmond Wolfe: Well, Taz, Jeff Hardy and all of his pre-pubescent fans seem to think he’s a natural entertainer ... well he can try and entertain me. As for my food and beverage, it’s just to set the mood. But neither of you can have any.

Match 4 | Singles
Homicide vs. Jeff Hardy
This match has scarce history at most, with Homicide attacking Jeff Hardy when Hardy made his TNA return on January 4th only for Hardy to turn the tables on Homicide and nail him with a Twist of Fate. The match begins with Homicide taking advantage of Jeff Hardy being distracted by his adversary Desmond Wolfe at the announce table who is eating popcorn, as the loose cannon unloads on Hardy with punches and kicks, not embracing a technical style but instead engaging in an all-out brawl. Eventually Homicide takes the match out of the ring and takes Jeff Hardy over to the announce table, going to slam Hardy’s skull on the top of the table but Jeff manages to stop him, and Hardy hits Homicide with a firm kick to the gut to buy himself some time. The crowd cheer Hardy, but Wolfe is not impressed as he shouts “Booooooo!” and throws some popcorn at Jeff which sets Hardy off; Jeff turns around and grabs Desmond by his jacket, and he is about to drag Wolfe across the announce table but Homicide grabs Jeff by the hair and hurls him into the security rail! Homicide quickly runs back into the ring, as the referee is on a count of six, and Hardy realizes this as he desperately tries to get to his feet, and he manages to get back in the ring just before the count of ten, almost as if it was meant to happen, as bizarre as it sounds.

For the next few minutes the momentum recurrently shifts between Homicide and Jeff Hardy, and Hardy goes for the Twist of Fate but Homicide counters it into a Russian leg sweep and he then runs off the ropes, planting a leg drop over Jeff’s throat. After that Homicide gets Hardy to his feet and twists Jeff around, trying to lift Jeff up in position for the ****** Killa but Hardy keeps his feet on the ground, as Homicide then Irish whips Jeff towards the corner of the ring only for Jeff to jump to the top rope and jump off, taking out Homicide with a Whisper in the Wind! The crowd cheer Hardy as he makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Homicide gets the shoulder up! Hardy gets Homicide to his feet and Irish whips him into the corner, as Jeff runs at him but Homicide jumps over the ropes and lands on the ring apron as Hardy fails to meet his target, and Homicide then jumps onto the ropes, springboarding off them but Jeff kicks Homicide in the mid-section in mid-air and then nails Homicide with the Twist of Fate! As always, Hardy follows it up by climbing to the top rope and Jeff looks over at Desmond Wolfe, who smirks at Jeff and raises his can of beer, before Hardy flies off the top rope and connects with the Swanton Bomb! Hardy makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner | Jeff Hardy @ 7:38

“Modest” blares out and Jeff Hardy gets to his feet, having his hand raised by the referee to a big pop from the crowd as Hardy climbs to the top rope, raising his hands in the air before leaving the ring and walking over to the announce table, coming face-to-face with Desmond Wolfe who slowly continues to eat his popcorn until Jeff swipes it off the table, and hits Wolfe with a right hand! The crowd pop as Hardy hits Desmond again and again and again with Wolfe now fighting back, and it begins to get out of hand until security guards rush out and separate them! The crowd boo and chant “Let them fight!” as Jeff and Wolfe make eye contact, bad-mouthing each other.

Mike Tenay: Chaos has erupted in the Impact! Zone between Desmond Wolfe and Jeff Hardy, and these fans are loving it!

Taz: The crowd in the Impact! Zone were chanting “Let them fight!” and I couldn’t agree more with them, Professor! Just wait until these guys meet one-on-one, it’ll be huge!

Mike Tenay: Coming up next, the TNA Global Championship is on the line, the new Champion “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero defends against the former Champion, Eric Young!

Wild And Young
Backstage, Christy Hemme is standing by.

Christy Hemme: Hello, TNA fans, I’m standing by with the former TNA Global Champion Eric Young, who lost the-

Eric Young: Hey, hold on, I’m sorry but before you go any further, Christy, I wanna ask you a question and I want you to give me an honest answer.

Christy nods her head at Young.

Eric Young: Me losing the Global Championship to D’Angelo Dinero or whatever he likes to call himself, at Genesis ... do you think that’s funny? Does it amuse you, does it bring a pathetic smile to your face?

Christy Hemme: Ummm...

Eric Young: Y’know what, that question doesn’t constitute an answer, because it’s not! When I won that belt at Bound For Glory, I took it to heights of prestige that nobody, not Booker T, AJ Styles or Mick Foley could take it to. So to see somebody like Dinero holding the title that I put on the map ... it makes me sick. So sick, that tonight, I’m not just gonna take back the Global Championship ... I’m gonna make sure that Dinero comes no-where near this title again, and after tonight, he’ll know that he shouldn’t have messed with me.

Heat for Young.

Eric Young: And when I leave that ring with the title around my waist like it should be, and I see his weak, feeble “congregation” booing me and shouting at me with tears rolling down their faces ... I’m gonna laugh. And my congregation, the World Elite, are gonna laugh with me. If anybody should be the Pope, a position which is recognised universally around the world in society as one of power, of TNA ... it should be Eric Young. And my item of recognition, will be the Global Championship.

The bitter Young walks out of the shot, as Christy looks on, nodding her head slowly. Then, the camera cuts elsewhere, where D’Angelo Dinero is walking down a dark corridor with the TNA Global Championship around his waist, on his way to the ring.


*Commercial Break*


Still Unbroken
Back on the show, the camera is backstage in the medical room, where Ric Flair is lying on a bed with medics surrounding him, examining his ankle which was targeted by Kurt Angle earlier tonight.

Ric Flair: Is it broken?

Medic: No, it’s not, but only just. A few more seconds with the pressure applied to your ankle and it would be, so consider yourself lucky it’s not, Ric.

Ric Flair: Alright-

Ric then looks towards the door, as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles walks in, looking rather emotionless.

AJ Styles: They’re right, Ric; you are lucky. Kurt had every right to break your ankle after you stuck your nose in not only his, but my business at Genesis, and if you try it again, then it won’t just be your ankle that’s getting broken.

Styles walks out again, as Flair looks on in disgust.

Ric Flair: That no-good piece of crap thinks he can talk to the “Nature Boy” like that? Oh, no ... he’ll see ... Kurt will see ... everybody will-

Medic: Ric, the process isn’t over yet.

Ric Flair: Damnit!

Flair lies back down as the medics continue to look at his ankle and the camera cuts back to the arena, ready for the main event...

Around The World And Back
“Catholifunk” blares out to a big pop from the crowd as the Global Champion D’Angelo Dinero walks out, his head covered by a bandana and his mouth covered by a mask along with a long black trenchcoat. With his title around his waist, the charismatic Dinero walks down the ramp, entering the ring and climbing to the top rope, removing his mask and throwing it into the crowd before climbing down, taking off his bandana and jacket and handing it to a ring-side worker.

Then, “We Are World Elite” plays, getting a mixed reaction, as the challenger, Eric Young, walks out, without the World Elite backing him up. Young charges down the ramp, entering the ring and immediately charging at D’Angelo Dinero as the bell quickly rings!

Match 5 | Singles | Global Championship
D’Angelo Dinero© vs. Eric Young
Eric Young immediately charges at D’Angelo Dinero, hell-bent on decimating Dinero in this match, but it’s Dinero who takes Young down, tackling Eric to the ground and unloading on Young with wild fists to the face! The animosity in the ring is at fever pitch as the crowd cheer and Young manages to edge backwards with Dinero still on top of him throwing punch after punch, until Eric makes it to the ropes as the referee separates the two competitors from each other, Dinero reluctantly backing away. As the referee lectures “The Pope” who holds his hands up in innocence, Young sneaks behind Dinero and sneakily low-blows “The Pope” and then, with the crowd booing Eric for his illegal and underhanded tactics, Young rolls up Dinero as the referee, unaware of the low blow, quickly makes the cover! 1...... 2...... D’Angelo Dinero kicks out! The crowd pop but Eric Young is shocked and incredibly disappointed that he didn’t defeat Dinero and regain the Global Championship he lost just four nights ago then and there, and Young gets to his feet, stomping away at Dinero who is still clutching his gut after the low-blow before getting the Global Champion to his feet, Irish whipping “The Pope” into the corner of the ring and running at Dinero, but D’Angelo moves out of the way at the last second as Young runs into the corner of the ring without meeting his target and Dinero then backs away into the opposite corner of the ring, running forward towards Young and about to go for the Dinero Express, but Eric immediately turns around and almost takes Dinero’s head off with a thunderous clothesline! The cheers and anticipation in the Impact! Zone suddenly turn silent and the crowd boo as Dinero goes down in a heap and a smirking Eric Young stands over him, then getting a disorientated Dinero to his feet and lifting him off his feet in a Bearhug-type of hold, before running towards the corner and driving “The Pope” spine-first into the corner!

D’Angelo Dinero slowly sinks down in the corner and Eric Young, mockingly shouting “Pope is pimpin’!” in Dinero’s face to a lot of head from the crowd, drives his boot into Dinero’s throat, pushing it in with force until he stops on the count of four with the referee and getting Dinero up, lifting the Global Champion onto the top rope and then climbing up there himself, grabbing Dinero and getting him in position, but “The Pope” manages to fight out of it and Dinero then pushes Young off the top rope and back down to the canvas! The crowd cheer the groggy Dinero, who regains his composure before flying off the top rope and nailing Young with an elbow drop! Both competitors lie motionlessly on the canvas for several moments until both get to their feet and Young staggers towards Dinero, but Dinero kicks Eric in the mid-section and then plants Young with a DDT! Dinero makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Eric Young gets the shoulder up! The crowd, disappointed that Young kicked out, boo and Dinero then gets Young to his feet, wrenching Eric’s arm and going for the Dinero Experience, but Young finds his way out of the predicament, going behind Dinero and lifting him up, planting “The Pope” with a back drop! Young then quickly covers Dinero, 1...... 2...... Dinero kicks out, much to Young’s chagrin and Eric gets Dinero back up, hitting Dinero with some right hands before running off the ropes, looking to mount some further offence, but Dinero scoops Young up and plants the Canadian with a scoop slam, then running off the ropes and hitting Young with a knee drop!

The ending to this Global Championship match comes when Eric Young has D’Angelo Dinero on his left shoulder, and Young runs towards the corner, but Dinero slips off Young’s shoulders and manages to hit Eric in the back in a dropkick before he hits the ground. Young goes into the corner with a lot of force, and Dinero gets to his feet; he sees the crowd cheering and he looks at where Eric is situated, before seizing the opportunity and running across the ring, nailing Young with the Dinero Express! Dinero is about to make the cover, but the rest of the World Elite, Brutus Magnus, Doug Williams and Homicide run down the ramp and enter the ring which distracts “The Pope” but Dinero is shocked when Magnus and Williams begin to stomp away at Young! The referee is just as astonished, but he has no choice but to ring the bell, handing a disqualification victory to Eric Young!
Winner via disqualification | Eric Young @ 9:09

D’Angelo Dinero stands in the corner watching what is transpiring with a look of disbelief on his face, but as soon as the bell rings, Homicide, Magnus and Williams stop and then go for Dinero, taking “The Pope” down to the canvas and assaulting him! The crowd boo as Dinero is ambushed by the World Elite and Williams then wraps his legs around Dinero’s waist before rolling back and nailing the Global Champion with the Chaos Theory! Eric Young has now recovered, and he calls for a microphone, which he receives before he walks over to Dinero with a smirk on his face and begins to talk.

Eric Young: Hahahaha ... I said I was going to beat you, Dinero, and I may still be the uncrowned TNA Global Champion, but I did what I said I was going to do, and I will again the next time I face you. So Eric Bischoff ... I want you to come out and give me what I rightfully deserve ... a shot at the Global Championship!

Moments later, “White Train” blares out and Eric Bischoff walks out, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Young is pleased to see him, but Bischoff is shaking his head.

Eric Bischoff: Do you really think I’m stupid enough to buy into this crap, Eric? And you can wipe that smirk off your face too, ‘cause I may not be able to wipe it off myself due to your lackeys having your back, but there are a lot of guys in the locker room who will gladly come down to that ring with a click of my fingers and do it themselves!

The crowd cheer for Bischoff, as Young actually laughs at him.

Eric Young: You wouldn’t dare, Bischoff-

Eric Bischoff: Oh, I think I would. Believe me, Eric, I do have respect for you and I respect the fact that you’ve been in TNA for a lot longer than I have and have put your body on the line in that very ring on more than one occasion ... which is why, despite all of these shenanigans, I still think you deserve to be in contention for the Global Championship. So, over the next two weeks, we’re gonna have ourselves a little four-man tournament. Two matches next week, the winners face each other the week after, and the winner of that match will challenge D’Angelo Dinero, hello by the way, Pope, if you can hear me, for the Global Championship next month at Against All Odds!

Pop from the crowd, and Young looks pleased.

Eric Bischoff: You are one of the guys in the tournament, Eric, the other three I’ll decide by next week, but don’t think I’m gonna make it easy for you, ‘cause I’m not. And if any crap like this goes down in the tournament ... then you, and your lackeys, even the TNA World Tag Team Champions, will be indefinitely suspended!

“White Train” plays again and Eric Bischoff leaves as Eric Young and the rest of the World Elite look back at D’Angelo Dinero, who is sat in the corner of the ring trying to get up. Young presses Dinero’s face against the middle turnbuckle and says to him “This is far from over” before he, Homicide, Magnus and Williams leave the ring.

Mike Tenay: I’m surprised that Eric Bischoff has given Eric Young another potential chance to challenge D’Angelo Dinero for the Global Championship; Dinero’s beaten Young twice already and “The Pope” was about to make it a trifecta only for the rest of Young’s World Elite to hand Eric a disqualification victory!

Taz: Why? Bischoff clearly said that he thinks Young deserves to be in this mini-tournament, and I agree with him! Besides, what Bischoff says goes, Professor, and even you don’t get a say in that!

Mike Tenay: Well, coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, we hear from TNA’s newest acquisition, the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Mr. Anderson!

The camera cuts backstage, where Mr. Anderson is walking down a corridor, on his way to the ring. Anderson looks smug as always, and he is wearing a smart suit accompanied by white sneakers, before we cut elsewhere, where the X Division Champion Amazing Red is walking around with Don West. Suddenly, Red is attacked from behind by Daniels, who slams a steel chair into Red’s spine! Red goes down like a sack of potatoes and Daniels stands over him, picking up his title and looking at a startled Don West before dropping the belt to the floor and walking out of the picture.


*Commercial Break*


Making an Impact ... Impact
Back from the break, “Mic Checked” plays with the Impact! Zone covered by a veil of darkness until a spotlight beams down on the stage and there stands the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Mr. Anderson. With a cocky guise on his face, Anderson makes his way down the ramp and steps into the ring, immediately lifting his hand up as a microphone reels down from the ceiling which he grabs, before speaking.

Mr. Anderson: Mmm ... mmm, mmm, mmm ... do ya’ smell it, Orlando? Can ya’? Oh, who am I kidding, of course you can’t. But I sure can, and that’s ‘cause it’s the smell, of gold.

Heat for Anderson, who nods his head as he looks directly at the camera before turning away to face the crowd once again.

Mr. Anderson: Nobody here in TNA has smelt it, or seen it, or touched it ... This company since it was founded has only experienced fool’s gold. But I’m not a fool, I’m not playin’ around, and I made that known to the entire world this past Sunday at Genesis when I made the single most shocking, exciting and anticipated debut in TNA history, beat two other chumps and became the number – one – contender to the TNA World ... Heavyweight ... Championship!

More heat.

Mr. Anderson: But wawawa, there’s no pleasing you people unless the guy who won at Genesis was a shamed ... scrutinized ... criminal whose satisfaction in life, along with a few little treats, comes from your pathetic cheers. But it’s easier to get people to hate you than to like you, which is why I am the single biggest star in this damn industry today, and for anybody who wants to disagree with that, they can wait until I’m the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

Anderson begins to walk slowly around the ring, thinking of what to say next.

Mr. Anderson: And oh yeah, I almost forgot about that ... hmm, when am I going to challenge AJ Styles for the World Title? That is a toughie. I could do it tonight, I could do it next week ... but no; I’m gonna do it on the big stage, I’m gonna do it when all the lights are shining, I’m gonna do it in front of people who have actually earnt a living ... I’m gonna do it on pay-per-view, baby. That’s right! Against All Odds, that’s gonna be the night where I become World Champion, so mark it down on your calendars, write it in pencil, write it in pen, hell, write it in sharpie marker, but rest assured not a single one of you will ever forget the night where the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion was crowned, his name being ... MIIIIIISSSSSSTTTTTAAAAAAHHHHHH ... AAAAANNNNDDDDEEEEEERRR-

Anderson is cut off when “Get Ready To Fly” blares out to a big pop from the crowd and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles walks out, making his way down the ramp and entering the ring, already holding a microphone.

AJ Styles: Against All Odds, huh? That’s awesome, Ken, I look forward to it. I know that you’ve got goosebumps now that you know that you’re gonna be steppin’ into the ring with me at Against All Odds, but you won’t find a single hair sticking up on my neck, ‘cause I’ve been on a much bigger stage and I’ve won on a much bigger stage. I’ve been in this company since the beginning, I’ve seen a lot of guys come and a lot of guys go, and seeing you walk through the door and immediately thinkin’ that you’re hot stuff doesn’t make me care any more than I did about even the lowest-profile of guys that have come to TNA.

Anderson shakes his head at Styles, before speaking.

Mr. Anderson: Oh ... I’m sorry, my bad; it looks like I haven’t introduced myself to you well enough, ‘cause it seems to me like you don’t know just who the hell I am.

AJ Styles: Whoa, whoa, I know exactly who you are and I know exactly what you’ve done in your career, but the fact of the matter is, nothing that you’ve done in the past is gonna get you between me and my TNA World Heavyweight Championship. If you think that TNA is just another stage of your career then you’re wrong ‘cause things are different around here; there’s a lot of different guys and you have never even come close to touchin’ the bar that has been raised over and over again by guys like me. Against All Odds is gonna be the biggest night of your career, but not mine; I’ve won a hell of a lot of titles here, I’ve stood face-to-face with some of the biggest legends in this business and I have beaten some of the biggest legends in this business, including Sting, who I beat at the biggest wrestling event of the entire year, Bound For Glory! So I want you to forget everything you’ve said or thought about since Genesis ‘cause if you haven’t listened to what I just said then you will not even walk out of Against All Odds with a single shred of dignity.

Anderson pretends to fall asleep, snoring loudly, and he then “wakes up”.

Mr. Anderson: Sorry, what was that? It’s just that ya’ bored me to sleep with your stupid little patriotic speech for this company. Face the facts, AJ, this company didn’t go anywhere with guys like you and Jeff Jarrett as the main attraction, so you better be thanking your frickin’ stars that you’re gonna be in the ring with me, ‘cause I’m the guy who’s gonna put this company on the map, not you, not Bischoff, not Hogan, but the future TNA World Heavyweight Champion, MIIIIISSSSSTTTTTAAAAAAHHHHH .... AAAAAAANNNN-

But Styles can’t take it anymore, and AJ spears Anderson to the canvas, unloading on Ken with punches! The crowd in the Impact! Zone explode as Styles attacks Anderson, and the Greenbay loud-mouth manages to push Styles away, giving him time to get to his feet, but AJ gets up, and as Ric Flair makes his way out and hobbles down the ramp, AJ kicks Anderson in the mid-section and lifts him up in position for the Styles Clash ... but Flair low-blows AJ Styles!! The crowd give “The Nature Boy” a lot of heat as Styles clutches his gut and Anderson frees himself, and then Anderson grabs AJ, nailing Styles with the Mic Check! The camera briefly cuts backstage where Kurt Angle is standing in the corridor, trying to head to the ring, but security guards are blocking the way, holding an infuriated Angle back, as Anderson picks up Styles’ TNA World Heavyweight Championship and holds it high in the air as if it were his whilst Flair crouches down by AJ and gives Styles a “Woooooo!” before Flair leaves the ring, and Anderson does soon after once he is done taunting AJ, to close the show.

Mike Tenay: Against All Odds, AJ Styles puts his TNA World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Mr. Anderson, and a lot of fuel has been added to the fire by Anderson and “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair! We’ll see you next week, everybody – goodnight!

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

The "CRUNK AIN'T DEAD" Review:

~ I loved Angle's "where is he?" to kick off the show. Kurt means business! Apparently AJ means business too, the no pose with his pyro was a nice touch. AJ wants to know just as much as everyone else does why Flair got involed at Genesis? Interesting. Good interection between Flair and Styles. A really hope you keep AJ as the face he was seemingly born to be instead of making him Flair's heelish mini-me. I had a feeling Angle would get involved in this segment, but I didn't know the violence would get kicked off this soon. But, it shows the intensity of Angle here by skipping the words altogether and just going for the attack. Very strong opening segment.

~ Solid debut for Generation Me. They're quite the impressive team, and I hope you use them as such. Lethal Consequences was also a very good choice for the team that put the new guys over.

~ Interesting developement with Don West and the Amazing Red issuing an open challenge, only to have Rob Terry cash in his X-Division title shot and lose causing the Brits to turn against him. This was another strong segment because not only did you further the dissention with the British Invasion, but you also made Red look strong as a champion. All around great booking here.

~ Pope is pimpin'! That's really all I gotta say about the Pope promo. I love the guy's mic skills and you captured them well here, good job.

~ Wow. Joe squashing Morley in his TNA debut? I would've marked right the heck out if this had happened IRL. Joe is trying to make a statement, and this angle makes a ton of sense. Joe, one of the hardest working and most underused wrestlers in TNA steps up and makes an open challenge to any new guys coming in. I can't wait to see who steps up to the plate. Looks like Hogan's eyes are on Joe too, but please don't bring him back into the ring.

~ Very good segment between Hall, Nash, and Waltman. I loved the emotion of the mic work- especially from Nash, and Hall's laid-back attitude was captured very well. The only thing I didn't really understand was Hogan and the Guns helping Hall. Why should the faces side with Hall? Hopefully you're going somewhere with this because right now there are just as many questions as answers coming out of this segment.

~ That skit with the backstage worker was all I needed to become a fan of Mr. Anderson. And Tazz throwing in an "Anderson!" in the middle of Tenay's sentence actually made me laugh out loud. Great stuff.

~ Good match between Hardy and Homicide. A Jeff win was pretty much guaranteed here, and he came out looking great. Wolfe on commentary was also awesome, as was his reason for being out there. I'm really glad you're continuing the Wolfe/Hardy feud since they never got their one on one match at Genesis. Now both men have something to do until the next PPV, and possibly after if the feud keeps going. Good stuff.

~ Good promo by Eric Young. Nothing really outstanding compared to the rest of the show so far, but good. Another Flair/AJ interaction. I really can't wait to see where you're going with this whole AJ/Flair/Angle thing. It's very intriguing.

~ Very good match and main event between Young and Dinero. I really like the card placement here because it seems like the Global title means something. I really don't get why World Elite attacked Young to get him the DQ victory. I see that Young beat Dinero, but why would the stable interfere on Young's behalf in a way that wouldn't win him the title? Why would Young demand Bischoff grant him another match when he had basically just wasted one? I could see something like this if it were a #1 Contender match and Young beating Pope by DQ would earn him the #1 Contender spot, but in a title match it really doesn't make sense. I guess you were just looking for a way to see up the tournament, which looks exciting. I wonder who the other participants will be? Other World Elite members?

~ Really great ending here with the Anderson/AJ promo. Anderson/AJ at Aginst All Odds should be great, especially if things like this segment keep happening. Anderson was very in character, as was AJ, saying that he's not afraid of Anderson and he's seen alot of guys come and go since day one. Lots of truth from AJ, which makes this kinda personal. I loved the Flair attack at the end, and the security holding Angle back. I see a Flair/Anderson alliance coming, but it'll still be interesting to see where Angle fits in all of this.

OVERALL: Very strong PPV fallout show. There were alot of great booking moves and there are some really great stories being told in your BTB. You write everyone so well, and your match description is top notch. My only problems with the show were why Waltman and Nash were the heels in the whole Hall situation and why EY had World Elite attack him during a title match. Other than that, I enjoyed the show very much and look forward to reading more of your work.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Was never a fan of the move to Monday nights from TNA irl, as they really aren't ready for it imo, but at least in BTB it doesn't matter as much, and you've gotten yourself a smarter timeslot. Plus, this gives you a chance for a big debut show on Monday nights, which is always a good thing. Will be interesting to see how big of a deal you make this.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

iMPACT! Feedback​

Nice little start with the recap for last week, as well as some good hype for this week from the commentators. Always a positive way to kick things off.

As much as I like Nash, I don’t think kicking your show off with him and Waltman is exactly the right idea. To me, TNA should be portraying that they’re the new, fresh alternative, and neither Waltman nor Nash give that feel at all. With that said, the mocking of Hall in both their walk to the ring and his catchphrases was a pretty good way to start the promo off, before getting into the serious stuff. Would have liked a little more talk of how good it was for Nash and Waltman to no longer look out for Hall, although Hogan interfering with them watching the footage again was fine. Hogan, though, wasn’t quite right, as it didn’t have that classic Hulk Hogan feel and vibe to the promo. He’s a pretty basic character Hogan, but I think you missed him here. It seems a bit weird that Hogan says he’s close with Nash and Waltman too, only to call them assholes and make a math against them. I thought we were going to get some sort of storyline with Hogan not wrestling yet wanting to as well, and this kind of blows it off straight away, even if it is ‘unsanctioned’. A decent promo, although there was a lot of room for improvement here. The mystery of who Nash and Waltman’s partners will be at least gives me something to be excited about.

Good to see the X Division guys getting some time to put something decent on, while Daniels picking up the win was a natural with him now gunning for Red. Should mention that I liked Suicide, as Red’s last threat, was the man he beat, as it makes Daniels look good going towards the title match. Promo after the match was alright, getting the message across and having Daniels use his usual revolutionising the X Division line. Nice to see you giving the feud some mic time, hopefully on the way to Daniels taking the title.

Bischoff started off much too strong in this promo, imo. I don’t know if there was any real point to this promo, other than to show Flair’s arrival, but if there is going to be something between Bischoff and Flair I’ll be surprised.

Bringing Kendrick into the thread? Cool. He should be able to add something to the X Division. Joe’s promo before the match showed his attitude with the promo before the match was good, although while I like Kendrick, I thought Joe’s win should have been a little more convincing. I liked the time given to the match, but rather than having to counter a move to win, I thought Joe should have hit a few of his moves consecutively, making him look as badass as possible. Hopefully we get someone big to step up with this storyline eventually.

Neat little promo to hype up Young’s win over Abyss. Would have liked maybe some dialogue from the Brits to say that they’ll beat whoever wins the tag match later tonight to give a bit of a mention to that, but still, this did a good job of showing Young’s confidence.

The opening to this promo was a little weird, as initially I didn’t know what Wolfe was talking about with wanting to being TNA World Heavyweight Champion in reference to Jeff Hardy, and it took me awhile to think back to the stipulation to the three way at Genesis. I think that you maybe should have had Wolfe explain that and say that Hardy cost him the match and subsequently, the title. Apart from that, Wolfe bagging Hardy and the fans I thought was done quite well, up until Wolfe called Jeff out. After that, Wolfe’s continued jabs at Hardy’s problems were just plain awkward. Lines like it’s not that drugs are more good than bad and calling Jeff intoxicated just came off as sounding really out of place, and a bit too desperate for cheap heat. Meanwhile, Jeff not saying anything back just makes him seem like a pussy, especially after he had been aggressive to Wolfe in the past for less than this. The idea behind the ending of the promo was good with the black eyes and concussions stuff, but I really think you’re missing a lot of the characterisation for Wolfe, and it plagued the promo throughout. The idea of the promo was alright, but the execution wasn’t up to par.

Nice enough match here, with some good psychology early, before the dirty finish at the end which I actually don’t mind. It both protects Abyss and gets EY through, while also playing up his heelishness, so I feel like the booking worked here.

Ugh, why keep Bubba around? I don’t even like the idea of it in BTB. Again, decent promo from Pope, with his vibe feeling about right, although the way in which he talked about Young was odd. I like that he is trying to make the Global Title prestigious, but why is he saying Eric Young isn’t going to challenge for the title, when in all likelihood, he is? He also goes on to say he wants a match with Young, after saying he wouldn’t want to face a guy like him at Against All Odds. It’s obvious that you will have Pope/Young again, so keeping their feud hot is a good idea, but I don’t think this promo was exactly the right way to go about it.

Decent promo from The British Invasion. Seemed fine, up until the last line, which I really liked. Gets the point across just fine. Only thing I didn’t like was pointing out that Generation Me aren’t worthy of a shot, as you shouldn’t be poking holes in your own booking.

I know it’s not anything major, but I really thought the impact of the moves in this match got way too high way too early. The finish also seemed a little odd, but the ultimate result of Beer Money picking up the win is the right one, as Generation Me don’t look like they deserve a tag title shot just yet. Not sure what to make of the Brits actually shaking hands with Beer Money after the match, if anything. We’ll see.

Ugh, I hate when Anderson pulls a microphone out of nowhere backstage irl, so I obviously don’t like it here. It just seems so ridiculous and stupid. I can’t take a promo seriously after seeing it. Anderson doing his in-ring shtick seemed a bit ridiculous too, and while the rest of his promo was alright, I seriously disliked the beginning of it.

The handshake at the start of this match to acknowledge the partnership between these two was good to see, and the action that followed was fine. Glad to see Hernandez get the win as Morgan is a talentless hack, while Hernandez at least has some potential. Hernandez/EY should make for a good match next week too.

So Bischoff warned Flair off earlier, but he’s willing to let Angle run around like a madman? Right. Well, things between these two are certainly headed somewhere, but I’m not exactly sure where. I think this story needs to get evolving soon.

I liked Angle storming down to the ring angrily to keep the story from the last segment rolling on, but from there it would have been much better if he came at Anderson angrily with a flurry of punches and offense, rather than taking his time before locking up with Anderson, which in no way shows his rage. The match was alright from there, although the finish was much too like the one involving EY and Abyss earlier tonight. Anderson needed the win, no doubt about it, but a low blow was the wrong way to go, imo. The brawl at the end with AJ was nice, while Angle hitting the Angle Slam keeps him involved loosely with AJ and Anderson, although I’m not too sure where he fits in. Maybe we’ll see a three way after all. You have me interested.


An alright show here, Shocker, although I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t your best. The booking and the promos both felt like they needed work at times, and like there were mistakes that you shouldn’t be making, because you’re simply better than that. Hopefully it’s just you settling into the thread though, because the Against All Odds card is shaping up pretty nicely, and hopefully the writing can match that in coming weeks.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Tonight...



TNA Impact - February 15, 2010
Americraft Expo Center – Palm Beach, Florida

This historic episode of Impact begins with a video recap of last night’s Against All Odds Pay-Per-View, showing highlights of all seven matches on the card, from the TNA World Tag Team Championship Four Corners Match between the reigning Champions the British Invasion, Beer Money, Generation Me and Lethal Consequences to the 8-Man Tag Team Street Fight between Hulk Hogan, The Motor City Machine Guns and Scott Hall and The Band, Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley which ended in a draw to the main event for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship between AJ Styles and Mr. Anderson which Styles won to retain his title.

Afterwards the new opening credits to Impact play, as the new theme song for the show, ‘Change Me’ blares out and we enter the Ocean Center. A plethora of fireworks explode from the stage and leave it in a veil of smoke as the camera pans the audience in the Arena who are holding up signs of all shapes, sizes and colours, before cutting to the announce table at ringside, where Mike Tenay and Taz are sat, ready to welcome us to this monumental broadcast.

Tenay: The change has been made tonight, everybody! Hello and welcome to TNA Monday Night Impact, we’re coming to you live from the Americraft Expo Center in Palm Beach, Florida, I’m Mike Tenay alongside Taz, and tonight it’s nothing short of history in the making, partner, the Monday Night Wars have been resurrected just one night after Against All Odds, where AJ Styles retained the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against one of his toughest challengers to date, Mr. Anderson!

Taz: I love AJ to death, Professor, but I honestly thought that Anderson was gonna win and become the new TNA World Champ, but Styles pulled out all the stops and he retained, and I couldn’t be happier for him! Speaking of being happy, I cannot wait for tonight’s main event; Styles teams with Jeff Hardy to face Anderson and the man that Jeff defeated last night, Desmond Wolfe.

Tenay: The X Division Championship is on the line tonight in an X Division Open less than twenty-four hours after we crowned a new X Division Champion, when ‘The Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels defeated The Amazing Red to become Champion for the fourth time.

Taz: Still on the subject of titles, we will determine #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Champions as the British Invasion, who were Champions until last night when Beer Money won the Four Corners match, face the team that eliminated them from that match, Generation Me, with the winners challenging Beer Money for the titles next month on March 21st at Destination X!

Tenay:The TNA Global Champion, ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero who retained his title against the leader of the World Elite, Eric Young who was Champion until he lost it to Dinero at Genesis, last night at Against All Odds will be in action tonight, as will ‘The Blueprint’ Matt Morgan who takes on ‘The Freak’ Rob Terry!

Then, ‘Rockhouse’ plays to a big pop from the crowd and Hulk Hogan walks out, with his business partner Eric Bischoff in tow. Hogan makes a pose and Bischoff smiles for the camera as pyro balls fall from the ceiling and explode on the stage, and Hogan points to a sign being held by a fan on the front row saying ‘The only wrestling on Monday nights’ which Hulk seems to like, before the duo enter the ring, both taking microphones.

Hogan: Wow ... eight years in the making right here on Monday NightImpact, brother!

More cheers from the crowd as Hogan continues.

Hogan: Y’know, a lot of people have been saying that it’s down to me and Eric Bischoff that Impact has moved to Monday nights, but that ain’t the real story, ‘cause the people to thank for us being here tonight are all of you, the TNA-Maniacs!

Then, Bischoff steps forward to address the crowd.

Bischoff: That’s right, Hulkster. Sure, we may have sped up the process up a little bit, but we got the engine started, and all of you are the fuel that’s gonna keep this machine going!

Cheap pop from the crowd.

Bischoff: If you thought that January 4th was the biggest night in the history of TNA ... then you haven’t seen anything yet, because tonight is the dawning of a new era, tonight is the night when TNA goes to war, and tonight is the night when TNA takes over professional wrestling!

‘The Hulkster’ immediately steps back into the spotlight as Easy E pauses for a second.

Hogan: And what better night to move to Mondays than the night after Against All Odds, huh? Me, Scott Hall and the Motor City Machine Guns didn’t beat Nash, Waltman, Foley and Jarrett, but Mick and Jeff have decided to step back into the shadows, and I’m not gonna let that slide, so I want your two asses right here next week, ‘cause you’re still under contract and I want answers...

Pop from the crowd, who are already looking forward to next week.

Hogan: ... which leaves Nash and Waltman.

The crowd boo at the mention of Nash and Waltman, and Hogan nods his head in agreement with the reaction the duo get, before continuing to speak.

Hogan: So guys, I’ve got something good, so I want you both to get your asses out here, right now!

A few moments later, ‘Strut’ blares out to heat from the crowd and Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman walk out, both smirking for one reason or another and both having bandages on their heads. The cocky duo make their way down the ramp as Nash mocks Hogan by pretending to hulk up and Waltman gives Hogan and Bischoff a crotch chop before they enter the ring and take microphones, coming face-to-face with the two men in charge.

Nash: How’s it goin’, fellas? Nice night tonight, huh?

Hogan can smell a hint of sarcasm in Nash’s statement.

Nash: Cut it out, Kev, I’m not joking around and neither is Eric, so listen up, brothers. Since Scott and Sean came back, it’s been chaos here, and it got so bad that I had to actually fight you. Well I don’t wanna have to go through that again, and it’s all gonna end tonight.

There are cheers in the crowd, as Nash and Waltman look confused.

Waltman:End? Nah, nah, Hulk, we’re just gettin’ started, boy!’

Heat from the crowd and some ‘X-Pac Sucks!’ chants but Bischoff isn’t in the mood for games, and he makes that crystal clear to Nash and Waltman.

Bischoff: No, Sean ... you’re not. Me and Hulk have the power to do anything we damn please, so putting an end to this crap is nothing. I expect you’re wondering how we’re gonna do that, so I’ll make it nice and simple for ya’; seeing that Scott Hall isn’t in the building due to injuries sustained last night ... tonight, right here on Monday Night Impact, it’s gonna be Kevin Nash ... versus Sean Waltman!

The crowd like what they hear from Bischoff and they cheer, but Nash and Waltman are still perplexed as it seems.

Nash: That’s, uh, great, Eric ... but how, exactly, is this gonna ‘end’ all of this

Bischoff: If you can give me a chance to finish, Kev, then I’ll tell you. Y’see, only one of you can win ... and only one of you can stay in TNA. That’s right. The guy that wins stays in TNA, the guy that doesn’t win ... is gone ... from TNA ... for good!

Nash and Waltman don’t seem to be very fond of these terms, but Sean takes it on the chin.

Waltman: Alright. Looks like I’m stayin’ in TNA, and Kev’s headin’ out the door. Sorry, Kev, we can still hang out, it’s cool.

Nash gives Waltman a questionable look after that statement.

Nash: Whoa whoa, whoa, looks like we’ve got some discussing to do, Sean. Eric, Hulkster ... really, smart plan, guys, but you’re still gonna be stuck with me.

‘Strut’ then plays again and Nash and Waltman leave the ring, heading up the ramp together but not with the same bond as they had prior to Bischoff’s bombshell that they will compete against each other later tonight.

Tenay: Wow! What a huge match announced for tonight, Kevin Nash versus Sean Waltman right here tonight, the loser of the match is gone from TNA for good!

Taz: I didn’t see this coming at all, Professor, but I can’t wait! This night just keeps gettin’ better and better!

Tenay: My sentiments exactly, Taz, and we’ve still got the X Division Open and our tag team match still to come tonight as well!


*Commercial Break*


Back on Impact, ‘My Generation’ plays and Generation Me, Jeremy and Max Buck, make their way out, getting a pop from the crowd. The duo make their way down the ramp, high-fiving some fans before entering the ring and both climbing to the second rope on opposite sides of the ring to pose for the crowd before climbing back down and waiting for their opponents to arrive in the squared circle.

Then, ‘Invasion’ blares out to heat from the crowd and the British Invasion walk out, not looking very happy. Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams storm down the ramp and enter the ring, as they immediately prepare for the match instead of taunting the crowd.

#1 Contender’s Tag Team Match
British Invasion Vs Generation Me
The TNA fans got to see these two teams go at it briefly last night at Against All Odds, and Generation Me eliminated the British Invasion from the fatal four way match to guarantee new World Tag Team Champiosn, but Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams have nothing but revenge on their mind and that shows when Magnus manhandles Jeremy Buck as soon as they lock up, forcing the youngster into the corner of the ring and stomping away at his mid-section until Jeremy is sat down in the corner. Brutus presses his foot against Jeremy’s throat until the referee makes Magnus go back and the Brit then gets Jeremy to his feet, lifting him up onto his shoulder and running towards the corner, but Buck slips off the back of Magnus’ shoulders, pushing Brutus into the corner of the ring and then rolling him up! 1...... 2...... Magnus kicks out. Both competitors get back to their feet and Jeremy immediately takes Brutus down with a dropkick, then getting back up and htting Magnus with a leg drop before making the cover, 1...... 2...... Brutus gets the shoulder up. Jeremy gets to his feet and climbs to the top rope, waiting for Magnus to get to his feet and when Brutus gets up, Buck flies off the top rope towards Magnus, going for a cross body, but Brutus catches Jeremy in mid-air and throws him across the ring with a fall away slam!

After there are a few rotations between both teams, the end of the match comes when Brutus Magnus and Max Buck are the legal men and Magnus runs off the ropes, charging at Max but Buck manages to lift Brutus onto the back of his shoulders and Max spins Magnus around in an aeroplane spin, as Brutus’ feet strike Doug Williams in the face and Williams falls off the ring apron! Buck then hits Magnus with a rolling fireman’s carry slam and he then stands up, hitting Brutus with a standing moonsault and Jeremy jumps onto the ropes, springboarding off them, and nailing Magnus with the 450 Splash, completing their More Bang For Your Buck double team move! Max then makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winners - Generation Me @ 4:37

‘My Generation’ blares out and Max Buck gets to his feet as his partner and brother Jeremy enters the ring and both halves of Generation Me have their hands raised by the referee to cheers from the crowd. Both youngsters climb to the second rope in opposite sides of the ring and motion around their waist that they want the TNA World Tag Team Championships, before climbing back down and embracing in the middle of the squared circle.

Tenay: What an upset! Generation Me, who have been in TNA for less than a month, have beaten the British Invasion and are now the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships!

Taz: Wow! I can’t believe it! You just can’t make it stuff up, Mike, Max and Jeremy Buck, two brothers, have the chance to become the TNA World Tag Team Champions! It must be pretty awesome to be them right now!

Tenay: We now know that at Destination X next month on March 21st, Beer Money will defend the TNA World Tag Team Championships against Generation Me!

The camera cuts backstage, where Beer Money are watching the proceedings of the show on a screen, James Storm and Robert Roode both holding the TNA World Tag Team Championships over their shoulders.

Elsewhere, Hernandez is in his locker room un-packing his bags, when Eric Young approaches him, on his own. Despite losing to D’Angelo Dinero last night, Young is in high spirits as he is smirking, but ‘Supex Mex’ looks suspicious.

Hernandez: What do you want, Eric?

Young: What I want? No, I think this is something you want.

Hernandez: I still don’t know what you’re talking about.

Eric gladly elaborates.

Young: Y’see, Hernandez, the World Elite is the biggest and most dominant force in TNA, hell, we can do whatever we want here, and by looking at you I can see that you would love that kind of power. You still might be a bit heart-broken that your buddy Homicide left you behind to jump on the bandwagon, but here’s your chance to join us, and reconcile with Homicide. So whaddya’ say?

Young extends his hand to Hernandez, who doesn’t reject it straight away, but then Hernandez’s tag team partner, Matt Morgan, walks in and he doesn’t like what he sees.

Morgan: Hey, Hernandez, what the hell are you doing with him?!

Hernandez: Look, Matt, it’s nothing, he just came up to me, wanted me to join the World Elite...

‘The Blueprint’ cuts his tag team partner off.

Morgan: Y’know what, I don’t give a crap, if you wanna sign your soul away and hook up with those jackasses then do whatever the hell you want!

An unhappy Morgan walks out, as Hernandez shakes his head and Young laughs.

Young: At least think about it, big guy.

Young pats Hernandez on the chest before walking away as ‘Super Mex’ slams his fists against the wall in anger.


*Commercial Break*


Back from the break, ‘My Kingdom’ plays and Rob Terry walks out, not getting much of a reaction from the crowd. Terry makes his way down the ramp and steps into the ring, simply raising one hand in the air and then waiting for his opponent to arrive.

Then, ‘Sleeping Giant’ plays and the crowd cheer as Matt Morgan walks out and throws off his robe, raising his hands in the air as fireworks ascend from the stage and Morgan makes his way down the ramp, stepping into the ring and raising one hand in the air before coming face-to-face with his opponent.

Singles Match
Matt Morgan Vs Rob Terry
In a contest between two giants, Rob Terry starts the match brightly, not letting Matt Morgan get the upper hand and really taking it to ‘The Blueprint’ but after Rob misses a big boot and Morgan hits Terry with a powerslam, things pick up for the 7-foot giant, and he dominates the Brit after that, soon finishing off Rob with the Carbon Footprint and making the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner - Matt Morgan @ 2:54

‘Sleeping Giant’ blares out again and Matt Morgan has his hand raised by the referee to a pop from the crowd. Morgan then pulls away and climbs to the top rope, motioning for his ovation to get louder and raising one hand up before climbing back down.

Tenay: Matt Morgan picking up a dominant victory over Rob Terry there, and...

Tenay stops when ‘We Are World Elite’ plays and Eric Young walks out, along with Homicide and Kiyoshi but without the British Invasion who have already competed tonight, and the trio make their way down the ramp, entering the ring and cornering Matt Morgan.

Then ‘Te Gusta O No!’ plays and Hernandez runs out, quickly sprinting down the ramp and entering the ring as Young, Homicide and Kiyoshi quickly leave, heading straight back to the locker room!

Taz: Things didn’t look good for ‘The Blueprint’ for a second there, but luckily Morgan’s partner Hernandez came out and got rid of the World Elite!

Tenay: Is this an indication to Matt Morgan of where his partner Hernandez’s loyalty is?

Hernandez and Morgan have a stare-down, not saying anything before they both pat each other on the back and leave the ring together, seemingly a unit.

Backstage, Christy Hemme is standing by.

Hemme: Hello, TNA fans, this is Christy Hemme and standing with me is Kazarian, who returned to TNA less than two weeks after a year-and-a-half long absence from the company!

Kazarian walks into the shot, getting cheers from the crowd.

Hemme: Now, last night you just came up short against Samoa Joe, but tonight you will be taking part in the X Division Open with Daniels putting the X Division Champion he won last night on the line. Is your mind on continuing to ascend up the TNA ranks, or competing in the X Division?

Kazarian: Christy, in my view, competing in the X Division is going up the TNA ranks and I’m pretty sure a lot of people agree with that, because the X Division is the heart and soul of TNA, it’s what makes this company great and I’ve competed in it ever since I came here.

Kazarian gets cheers from those who support the X Division.

Kazarian: As for Samoa Joe, we had a great match last night and I think he deserved to win, but right now that’s in the back of my mind because tonight, Kazarian is officially back in TNA, and I’m gonna be the X Division Champion.

Kaz then smirks at Hemme before walking out of the shot, getting more cheers from the crowd as he continues to prepare for the big X Division Open later on tonight.

Then, the camera cuts elsewhere, set on ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero who is walking down a corridor with the Global Championship strapped around his waist.

Tenay: There’s ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero, and he’s on his way to the ring right now as he faces ‘The Feature Presentation’ Sean Morley in non-title action, when we return!


*Commercial Break*


Back from the break, ‘Cool Dude’ plays and Sean Morley walks out, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Wearing a trademark white towel around his waist, Morley makes his way down the ramp with a smirk on his face and steps into the ring, climbing to the second rope and removing his towel which he throws into the audience before climbing back down, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

Then, ‘Catholifunk’ blares out and the crowd go wild as D’Angelo Dinero walks out and Dinero, wearing a black bandana, face-mask and jacket along with shades, makes his way down the ramp and high-fives some fans before stretching his arms outwards as money falls from the ceiling and Dinero then enters the ring, removing his entrance attire and preparing for the match.

Singles Match
D’Angelo Dinero Vs Sean Morley
In this match, Sean Morley doesn’t really get much offence in apart from at the beginning of the contest and a few reversals afterwards, but it’s the Global Champion, ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero who dominates this match, quickly finishing off Morley with the Dinero Express and making the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner - D’Angelo Dinero @ 2:01

‘Catholifunk’ plays and D’Angelo Dinero has his hand raised by the referee to a big pop from the crowd.

Tenay: Sean Morley couldn’t contain the juggernaut known as D’Angelo Dinero, and ‘The Pope’ pulls out the victory tonight!

Dinero is given his Global Championship which he raises in the air above his head with both hands. However, once Dinero turns around, there’s Rhino standing in the corner, and he charges across the ring, breaking Dinero in half with a Gore!

The once exuberant and loud audience are silenced as Rhino stands over a motionless D’Angelo Dinero and Rhino yells ‘Gimme’ a mic!’ which ‘The War Machine’ quickly receives.

Tenay: What the hell was that for, Rhino?! What business does he have?!

Taz: GORE! GORE! GORE!

Rhino: Ever since Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan came to TNA, they’ve changed a whole lot of things, and the most important thing is that they ignore me.

The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion walks around the ring.

Rhino: They don’t give a crap about guys like me, hell, Eric and Hulk haven’t even talked to me since they came to TNA! They ignore guys like me, and they treat their favourites like damn royalty, and that son of a b*tch lying almost on my feet is exactly what I’m talking about. Well can you see me now, Hulk?! Can you see me now, Bischoff?! ‘Cause if you can’t, then I’m gonna have to keep ploughing through all of your buddies and favourites until you know exactly who the hell I am, and what the hell I can do.

‘War Machine’ blares out and Rhino drops his microphone, raising his hands in the air before leaving the ring and walking up the ramp, getting a lot of heat from the crowd who chant ‘Rhino sucks!’ as he departs.

Tenay: I am disgusted by the way Rhino wants to get himself noticed, he’s using fellow wrestlers as mere stepping stones so he can get noticed by Bischoff and Hogan, when he can simply knock on their door, go in their office, and tell them how he feels!

Taz: I don’t think so, Professor, I know Rhino very well from my ECW days, and trust me, he doesn’t do business like that, he’s a bad you-know-what and sitting down and talking ain’t his thing.

Backstage, Mr. Anderson is walking down a corridor, wearing a green “KA 33” sleeveless jersey over his ring-gear and presumably on his way to the ring.

Tenay: There’s Mr. Anderson who came so close to winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship last night at Against All Odds, and he’s on his way to the ring to address the TNA fans, when we return.

Taz: And when we do, we will be entering the 2nd hour of Impact, so make sure you stay with us, because in the 2nd hour, we will hear from Anderson who we just saw, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman, two best friends, square off one-on-one with the loser leaving TNA, the X Division Championship is on the line in an X Division Open, and the World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles teams with Jeff Hardy to face Desmond Wolfe and Mr. Anderson! Man, oh man, it’s gonna be big!’


*Commercial Break*


Back on Impact, ‘Mic Checked’ plays and the lights go out, as the crowd murmur amongst themselves in anticipation before a big spotlight shines down on the stage and Mr. Anderson is standing there.

Tenay: Welcome back to Impact everybody, we are now entering the 2nd hour of the show so if you’ve stuck with us here on Spike, we thank you ever so much and we assure you that you’ve made the right choice.

Anderson walks down the ramp and enters the ring, looking around the arena before reaching up as a microphone reels down from the ceiling and Anderson takes it, walking around the ring as he thinks of what to say to the audience, who are currently booing the man who almost became TNA World Heavyweight Champion just 24 hours ago.

Anderson: Haha, very funny; I lost last night, big deal.

That draws cheers from the fans, who are happy that he didn’t win last night.

Anderson: All of you people lose one way or another every single freakin’ day of your lives anyway, so haha to you too.

Heat for Anderson, who nods his head in agreement.

Anderson: I don’t care anyway, I have a lot of time on my hands and believe me, I can win the TNA World Heavyweight Champion any time I damn well please.

Anderson walks around the ring, thinking of what to say.

Anderson: And I don’t care if any of you get butt-hurt by the things I’m saying, because if you switch over to Monday Night RAW, you’ll see nothing but midgets and Z-list celebrities trying to act funny and you’ll come right back here.

Those comments surprisingly get cheers from the crowd who chant ‘TNA! TNA! TNA!’ but Anderson interrupts the chants.

Anderson: That’s right, cheer for me, shout at the top of your voices, ‘Total ... Nonstop ... Anderson!’

Some fans do what he says, shouting ‘Total Nonstop Anderson’ over and over again, but the majority boo Anderson.

Anderson: Thank you, thank you, but for those who aren’t doing that, just remember that I am the single greatest man to ever step in a TNA ring, this company was founded in the hope that they’d be able to get me to sign on the dotted line, so you can all thank your God damn stars that I am here, because I am the reason that Impact is now on Monday nights, I am the reason you’re all here tonight and I am the reason that you can call yourself TNA fans.

The crowd, wholeheartedly disagreeing with Anderson who has only been in the company for one month, boo KA, who sarcastically frowns in response to the reception he gets before continuing to speak.

Anderson: That’s right ... none of your poster boy heroes are the reason, no, no, not AJ Styles...

The crowd cheer at the mention of the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

Anderson: Not Jeff Hardy...

Big pop for Hardy.

Anderson: Not Kurt Angle...

Another big pop for the Olympic Gold Medallist Angle.

Anderson: Not either of the Motor City Machine Guns...

Cheers for Sabin and Shelley.

Anderson: And sure as hell not...

However, Anderson is interrupted, when all of a sudden, the lights go out! The crowd go wild, as they have a small feeling that they know who is responsible for this!

Tenay: What the?! No ... This isn’t what I think it is, is it?!

Taz: I think it is, Professor, I think it is!

However, Anderson, despite being in the dark, continues to talk, much to the chagrin of the fans.

Anderson: Uhhh ... I’m not sure if some fat guy in the production truck fell asleep and landed on a whole load of buttons, but come on, can somebody turn the lights back on...

Anderson is once again interrupted, when ‘Slay Me’ blares out, AND THE CROWD GO ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC! The oh-so familiar theme music continues to play as the crowd continue to cheer, but Anderson tries to keep his composure, still in the dark.

Anderson: Alright, joke’s over now, fellas; I’m funny, you’re not, get over it...

Again, Anderson is interrupted ... WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, AND STING IS STANDING IN FRONT OF MR. ANDERSON WITH HIS TRADEMARK BLACK BASEBALL BAT!!!

Tenay: MY GOD! IT IS! STING HAS RETURNED TO TNA, AND HE IS STANDING FACE-TO-FACE WITH MR. ANDERSON!

The roof is almost blown off the Americraft Expo Center as Mr. Anderson cannot believe what he is seeing, and Sting mouths to him ‘Showtime’, BEFORE SWINGING THE BASEBALL BAT AT ANDERSON, BUT ANDERSON DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY AND QUICKLY LEAVES THE RING, CLIMBING OVER THE SECURITY RAIL AND GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!

‘Slay Me’ plays again and Sting raises his baseball bat in the air to a huge pop from the crowd as Mr. Anderson, standing a long way away now, shakes his head in disbelief, walking backwards and still not believing what he has seen.

Tenay: WHAT A MOMENT! ‘THE ICON’ STING HAS RETURNED TO TNA, AND MR. ANDERSON HAS GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE!’

Taz: I cannot believe my eyes, Mike! We haven’t seen Sting since Bound For Glory last year, but ‘The Stinger’ is back, and he has sent a crystal-clear message to Mr. Anderson!’

Tenay: Coming up next on Impact, the X Division Championship is on the line in the X Division Open!


*Commercial Break*


Back on Impact, it’s time for the X Division Open, and ‘We Are World Elite’ plays as Kiyoshi, representing the World Elite, is the first entrant. The mysterious buzzsaw makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring, waiting for his opponent.

Then, ‘D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F’ plays and the crowd give a lukewarm reception for Shannon Moore, who walks out and runs down the ramp, jumping over the ropes and into the ring and climbing to the second rope to pose for the fans before climbing back down and getting ready to fight Kiyoshi.

X Division Open For The X Division Championship
Daniels Vs Amazing Red Vs Brian Kendrick Vs Consequences Creed Vs Homicide Vs Jay Lethal Vs Kazarian Vs Kiyoshi Vs Shannon Moore Vs Suicide
The bell rings and Kiyoshi and Shannon Moore lock up, as Kiyoshi quickly wrenches Moore’s arm but Shannon counters it, as he rolls across the floor and takes Kiyoshi down with an arm drag before both competitors get back to their feet and Kiyoshi runs at Moore as Shannon lies down on the canvas and Kiyoshi jumps over him and runs off the ropes before running back at Moore who nips up and kicks Kiyoshi in the mid-section, getting the member of the World Elite in a front facelock and planting him with a suplex. Moore makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kiyoshi kicks out. Moore gets Kiyoshi back to his feet and Shannon throws some right hands at him before running off the ropes and going for a clothesline, but Kiyoshi ducks out of the way of it and then lays out Moore with a thunderous roundhouse kick! Kiyoshi stomps away repeatedly at ‘The Prince Of Punk’ for several moments until going to ground and locking Moore in an armbar, almost trying to tear Moore’s arm off, but Shannon soon makes it to the ropes, as the referee instructs Kiyoshi to let go, which the mysterious buzzsaw reluctantly does.

Two minutes later, the encounter between Kiyoshi and Shannon Moore comes to an end when Moore hits Kiyoshi with multiple right hands and runs off the ropes, charging towards ‘The Japanese Lightning’ and going for a standing spinning heel kick, but Kiyoshi ducks out of the way and turns Moore around, kicking him in the mid-section, lifting him onto his shoulders, and nailing ‘The Prince Of Punk’ with the Lighting Flash! Kiyoshi covers Moore, hooking both of his legs, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #1 - Shannon Moore @ 3:46

Kiyoshi celebrates as he eliminates Shannon Moore and he then waits for the next entrant, which turns out to be Consequences Creed. “Pomp And Consequences” plays and the crowd cheer as Creed runs down the ramp, entering the ring and immediately taking Kiyoshi down to the canvas, unloading on him with fists until both get back to their feet and Kiyoshi runs at Creed, but Creed dodges him and throws Kiyoshi over the top rope, out of the ring and onto the ramp! The crowd cheer as Kiyoshi soon struggles to his feet and Consequences climbs to the top, leaping onto Kiyoshi and taking him down with a cross body! The crowd cheer as both competitors lie on the ramp and eventually get to their feet, both re-entering the ring and when they’re back in the squared circle, Creed runs off the ropes and runs towards Kiyoshi, going for a clothesline but Kiyoshi is first to it, and he takes Creed down with a dropkick! Kiyoshi makes the cover, 1...... 2..... Creed gets the shoulder up. Kiyoshi gets Creed back up and Irish whips him into the corner of the ring, then lifting him up onto the top rope and climbing up there as well. Kiyoshi gets Creed in a front face-lock, and then hits Creed with a superplex from the top rope!

However, despite the entertaining action between these two competitors, somebody must be eliminated, and that time comes when Consequences Creed is standing on the ring apron, waiting for Kiyoshi to get to his feet after taking ‘The Japanese Lightning’ down with a back drop. Kiyoshi gets up and Creed jumps onto the ropes, springboarding off them and going for a double-arm axehandle smash but Kiyoshi kicks Creed in the mid-section in mid-air and then gets behind him, rolling Creed up with a schoolboy! 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #2 - Consequences Creed @ 5:05

Another elimination for Kiyoshi, and now Consequences Creed is gone, as Kiyoshi waits for the next man to come out. We all find out when ‘Kaz’ plays and the uber-popular Kazarian walks out, getting a big pop from the crowd. Kazarian makes his way down the ramp and he enters the ring, immediately trading right hands with Kiyoshi and Kiyoshi goes to kick Kaz in the mid-section but he catches his foot and spins Kiyoshi around, then flooring Kiyoshi with an elbow smash. Kazarian then climbs out onto the ring apron and jumps over the ropes, hitting Kiyoshi with a leg drop before making the cover, 1...... 2...... Kiyoshi kicks out. Kazarian gets Kiyoshi to his feet and gets him in position for the Wave Of The Future, but Kiyoshi fights out of it and he kicks Kazarian in the mid-section, running off the ropes and laying out Kazarian with a swinging neckbreaker! Kiyoshi covers Kazarian, hoping to earn another elimination, 1...... 2...... Kazarian gets the shoulder up!

The third elimination of the match comes when Kiyoshi wrenches Kazarian’s arm and Irish whips him into the corner, then hitting Kaz with a clothesline and subsequently lifting him onto the top rope before climbing up there himself. Kiyoshi gets Kazarian in a front face-lock, in position for a superplex, but Kazarian fights out of the predicament, and he gets Kiyoshi in position, before hitting Kiyoshi with the Flux Capacitor! Kazarian then hooks one of Kiyoshi’s legs, making the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #3 - Kiyoshi @ 7:11

After eliminating Shannon Moore and Consequences Creed from the match, Kiyoshi has now been eliminated by Kazarian, and ‘The Coolest Man In Wrestling’ waits for his next opponent to arrive, who turns out to, ironically, be Suicide. ‘Coming Alive’ plays and Suicide runs out, sprinting down the ramp and entering the ring as he and Kazarian circle each other around the ring before locking up. Kaz breaks out of it and kicks Suicide in the mid-section, running off the ropes and charging at Suicide but the anonymous masked man lifts Kazarian up and hits him with a back body drop! Kaz soon gets back up and runs at Suicide but he takes Kazarian down with an arm drag and when Kaz gets back up, Suicide takes him down with a spinning heel kick! Suicide makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kazarian kicks out. Suicide gets Kaz back up and Irish whips him into the corner of the ring, running at him and and jumping onto him, hitting Kazarian in the head with some fists until motioning to the crowd but that gives Kaz an opening and he lifts Suicide up for a powerbomb, but Suicide counters it into a hurricanrana! Suicide then lifts up Kazarian’s legs and makes the pin, 1...... 2...... Kazarian kicks out again!

The ending to this exchange between Kazarian and Suicide comes when Suicide takes Kaz down with a dropkick and then climbs to the top rope, waiting for Kazarian to get to his feet and when ‘The Coolest Man In Wrestling’ gets up, Suicide jumps off the top rope, but Kaz hits Suicide with a roundhouse kick in mid-air as Suicide falls into the ropes, leaning against them to stay on his feet and Kazarian then grabs Suicide, nailing him with the Wave Of The Future! Kaz makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #4 - Suicide @ 9:06

That’s another one gone, and Kazarian waits for the next competitor in the X Division Open to arrive, who turns out to be the man he faced last week on Impact, Homicide. Looking for revenge, Homicide runs out and heads to the ring, immediately exchanging right hands with Kazarian and running off the ropes, heading towards Kaz and going for a clothesline but Kazarian ducks out of the way of it, and then hits Homicide with a dropkick! Kazarian makes a somewhat optimistic cover, 1...... Homicide kicks out. Kazarian gets Homicide straight back up and he kicks him in the mid-section, wrenching his arm and jumping onto the ropes before rolling across the canvas and taking down Homicide with arm drag! Kazarian nips back up and runs off the ropes, going for an elbow drop but Homicide moves out of the way as Kaz misses, and Homicide runs off the ropes, nailing Kazarian with a boot to the skull! Homicide makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kazarian gets the shoulder up! Homicide gets back up and stomps away at Kazarian, before getting him up and throwing him through the ropes and out of the ring, hitting the concrete floor. Homicide looks down at Kazarian, who is just getting to his feet, before running off the ropes and going through the ropes, hitting Kazarian with a suicide dive! The crowd cheer and chant ‘TNA! TNA! TNA!’ as Homicide and Kazarian lie motionlessly on the concrete floor but they both slowly re-enter the ring before the count of ten.

The next elimination from this match comes when Homicide has just taken down Kazarian with a dropkick and he slowly climbs to the top rope, taking a while to gain his composure up there which gives ‘The Coolest Man In Wrestling’ the opportunity to recover, and Kazarian climbs to the top rope, hitting Homicide a few right hands before getting him in position, and hitting Homicide with the Flux Capacitor! Both competitors lie on the canvas and Kazarian manages to hook Homicide’s leg and make the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #5 - Homicide @ 11:31

Homicide has been eliminated from the X Division Open, and almost as soon as the bell rings, ‘Pomp And Circumstance’ plays and the outlandish Jay Lethal runs out, sprinting to the ring and entering the ring to be greeted by some right hands from Kazarian, and Kaz Irish whips Lethal into the ropes, but when ‘Black Machismo’ comes back he takes Kazarian down with a clothesline and when Kaz gets back up and runs at him again, Lethal hits him with a back body drop! Jay quickly runs off the ropes and hits Kazarian with an elbow drop before making the cover, 1...... Kazarian quickly gets the shoulder up. Lethal gets Kazarian back up and Irish whips him into the corner of the ring, then running at him but ‘The Coolest Man In Wrestling’ jumps over the ropes and onto the ring apron and Lethal is able to stop himself before he runs into the turnbuckles, swinging a right hand at Kazarian but Kaz ducks and gives Lethal a blow of his own, then grabbing ‘Black Machismo’ by the neck and jumping off the ring apron, driving Lethal’s face into the ring rope! Lethal staggers backwards afterwards, holding his face, and Kazarian climbs to the top rope, waiting for Lethal to turn around, and when he does, Kaz jumps off the top rope and nails Lethal with a missile dropkick! Kazarian makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Lethal kicks out! Kazarian slowly makes it to his feet and he stomps away at Lethal before running off the ropes, but Jay then catches Kazarian with a small package and pins him! 1...... 2...... Kazarian kicks out in the nick of time! Kaz looks relieved he didn’t get eliminated there and both competitors get back to their feet as Kazarian kicks Lethal in the mid-section and gets him in a front face-lock and lifting him up, keeping him up for several moments before finally connecting with a suplex!

The next elimination in the match comes when Jay Lethal gets Kazarian to his feet and wrenches his arm around, attempting a back suplex but Kazarian lands on his feet behind Lethal and spins him around, kicking ‘Black Machismo’ in the mid-section, getting him in position, and nailing Lethal with the Wave Of The Future! Kazarian quickly makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #6 - Jay Lethal @ 13:17

An exhausted Kazarian, having eliminated three competitors from the X Division Open, is on his knees regaining his composure, but he doesn’t have very long to, as ‘I Have A Plan’ blares out and Brian Kendrick walks out, pacing down the ramp to the ring and removing his white jacket, immediately running at Kazarian, who is still on his knees, and flattening him with a knee to the skull! Kendrick quickly makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kazarian gets the shoulder up! Kendrick shakes his head in disappointment that he didn’t get the three-count as he looks down at Kazarian and he then gets Kaz to his feet, grabbing him by the neck and running into the corner, jumping to the top rope and going for Sliced Bread #2 but he fails to connect as he lands on his feet behind Kazarian and he runs at Kaz but ‘The Coolest Man In Wrestling’ nails Kendrick with a thunderous Superkick! Kendrick is layed out, and Kazarian slowly hooks his legs and makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Kendrick kicks out! Kazarian struggles to his feet and he gets Kendrick up, Irish whipping him into the corner and following up with a clothesline, before lifting Kendrick to the top rope and then gradually climbing to the top rope himself, getting Kendrick in position for a superplex but Brian fights back with half a dozen blows to Kazarian’s mid-section and he then pushes Kazarian off the top rope and down to the canvas! Kendrick slowly turns around on the top rope, facing away from Kazarian, before going for a moonsault ... but Kazarian rolls out of the way in the nick of time as Kendrick crashes and burns on the canvas!

Kazarian eventually struggles to his feet and gets Brian Kendrick up as well, slowly getting Kendrick in position before hitting Kendrick with the Wave Of The Future! Both competitors drop to the canvas, Kazarian out of exhaustion and Kendrick after being nailed with Kazarian’s finishing manoeuvre, and Kazarian lays an arm over Kendrick, making the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #7 - Brian Kendrick @ 15:08

Kazarian has eliminated another competitor, the fourth he has disposed of in this match, and Kazarian lies motionlessly on the canvas, beleaguered to say the least. Then, ‘Wings Of A Fallen Angel’ blares out, and here comes the defending TNA X Division Champion, Daniels! ‘The Fallen Angel’ walks out and smirks at what he sees before running down the ramp and entering the ring, immediately going in for the kill as he jumps to the second rope, jumps to the top rope, and nails Kazarian with the Best Moonsault Ever! Daniels, a whole lot fresher than Kazarian, makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3-KAZARIAN KICKS OUT! The crowd pop and Daniels is shocked, as he shakes his head in disbelief whilst looking down at Kazarian whose arm is still in the air, before going into the corner again, jumping to the second rope, jumping to the top rope, and hitting ANOTHER Best Moonsault Ever! Daniels makes the cover again, 1...... 2...... 3!!!

Elimination #8 - Kazarian @ 15:37

Finally, after eliminating four competitors from the X Division Open, Kazarian has been eliminated by the X Division Champion! Daniels springs right up and ‘Red Rexix’ blares out to a pop from the crowd, as the final entrant in the X Division Open, the man Daniels defeated last night at Against All Odds to become X Division Champion, Amazing Red, walks out alongside Don West! Red walks impatiently down the ramp with West in tow and Red enters the ring, immediately trading blows with Daniels! The two competitors frantically exchange right hands until Red hits some consecutive blows and then runs off the ropes, charging at Daniels, but ‘The Fallen Angel’ nails the former X Division Champion with a thunderous powerslam! Daniels nips back up and poses for the crowd as he gets a mixed reaction, before stomping away at Red and then climbing out onto the ring apron, jumping onto the ropes and springboarding off them, going for a leg drop, but Red rolls out of the way as Daniels lands on his backside after missing that leg drop and Red then runs off the ropes, charging at Daniels and hitting him in the chest with a dropkick, taking the X Division Champion down and then making the cover, 1...... 2...... Daniels kicks out. Red gets to his feet and gets Daniels up, wrenching his arm around and then kicking him in the mid-section before wrapping his legs around Daniels’ mid-section, in position for the Code Red, but Daniels holds onto Red’s legs, not letting him flip, and he backs into the corner of the ring as Red’s spine tastes the turnbuckles! Daniels wriggles free of Red and then sets up Red in the ‘Tree of Woe’ leaving him upside down as he backs into the opposite corner and then charges across the ring, going for a dropkick, but Red manages to lift the upper half of his body up as Daniels misses the dropkick and, with his legs spread out, goes into the steel ring-post!

The look on Daniels’ face tells the entire story as he slowly crawls forwards, stopping in a good position for Amazing Red, who regains his composure whilst standing on the top rope, before going for a 450 Leg Drop, but Daniels rolls out of the way as Red misses! Daniels struggles to his feet and he gets Red up, kicking him in the mid-section, hooking his arms, lifting him up, and nailing Red with the ANGEL’S WINGS! Daniels then walks over to the corner of the ring and jumps to the second rope and then jumps to the top rope, hitting Red with the BEST MOONSAULT EVER!!! Daniels immediately makes the cover, hooks both of Red’s legs, holding them up as he makes the cover and Red’s manager Don West looks on from the outside of the ring in despair, 1...... 2...... 3!!! Daniels has retained the X Division Championship!

Winner and STILL X Division Champion - Daniels @ 17:46
‘Wings Of A Fallen Angel’ plays and Daniels, who can’t keep the grin off his face, ignores the referee and leaves the ring, taking his X Division Championship before walking around the ring and heading up the ramp, holding his title above his head as he stands on the stage proudly and then disappears behind the curtain.

Tenay: Say what you like about Daniels, but he just showed the world why he is a pioneer of the X Division, and more importantly to him, is the X Division Champion.

Taz: Sometimes Daniels resorts to underhanded tactics, but he deserved to win tonight, and I think he’s gonna be X Division Champion for a long, long time.

Tenay: Still to come tonight, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman face off with the loser leaving TNA, and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles teams with Jeff Hardy to face Mr. Anderson and Desmond Wolfe!

Backstage, Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash are standing in the locker room, talking to each other.

Nash: I guess this is the last night we ride together, huh?

Nash: Well, it was great having ya’ here.

This sets Waltman off, who has something to say to that.

Waltman: Whoa, whoa, whoa, that ain’t gonna happen, big guy, if anybody’s stayin’ here it’s me. Look, it’s obvious Eric and Hulk are against us and they wanna tear us apart and I don’t want that to happen but it looks like it ain’t the same with you. I’ll see you out there.

Waltman then walks out of the locker room, as Nash sighs before we go to a...


*Commercial Break*


Back on Impact, ‘Noise’ blares out and Sean Waltman walks out, getting a lot of heat from the crowd. Waltman gives the fans some crotch chops as he walks down the ramp and enters the ring, standing in the corner of the ring and waiting for his opponent, who is also his best friend, to arrive.

Then, ‘Strut’ plays and Kevin Nash walks out, not motioning or posing for the crowd at all, instead walking down the ramp and entering the ring. Nash raises one hand in the air and then stands in the corner of the ring opposite Waltman.

Loser Leaves TNA
Kevin Nash Vs Sean Waltman
The bell rings and Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman circle each other around the ring, before locking up, and almost straight away pushes Waltman away and to the canvas, Sean rolling back and sitting in the corner of the ring before cautiously getting to his feet and walking towards the centre of the ring. Waltman yells at Nash, saying ‘What was that?!’ and Nash holds his hands up in innocence before shoving Waltman again! Sean gets back up and runs at Nash, but ‘Big Sexy’ unloads on his friend but current opponent with right hands, Irish whipping Waltman against the ropes and subsequently going for a big boot but Waltman ducks it and hits Nash with a standing spinning heel kick which catches Nash in the cranium and Nash back-pedals as Waltman runs off the ropes and charges at Nash, hitting him with a dropkick! Nash is almost down, as his knees are bent, and Waltman runs off the ropes again, directing a dropkick at Nash’s legs and ‘The Silver Fox’ finally goes down! Waltman makes a very optimistic cover, 1..... Nash kicks out, pushing Waltman away and Kevin gets back up as Waltman runs at him, but Nash flattens him with a Big Boot! Waltman goes down and Nash looks down at him, before sighing and getting him back up, tucking his head in between his legs, lifting him up, and nailing Waltman with the Jack-Knife Powerbomb! Nash then makes the cover, 1...... 2...... 3!!!
Winner - Kevin Nash @ 1:21

‘Strut’ blares out and Kevin Nash gets to his feet, having his hand raised by the referee as he soon pulls away, looking down at Sean Waltman before shaking his head and leaving the ring, slowly walking up the ramp still a member of the TNA roster.

Tenay: Well, it’s the end of the road here in TNA for Sean Waltman, and while I don’t approve of Waltman’s attitude and actions, he tried his best right there to retain his spot in the company.

Taz: I didn’t expect anything less, Profeesor, andsure; he can be a bit of a pain in the ass from time to time, but he’s passionate about professional wrestling and now he has to leave TNA.

As Waltman slowly struggles to his feet having recovered from receiving a Jack-Knife Powerbomb, and Sean calls Nash back to the ring, as Kevin stares at Waltman for several moments until walking back down the ramp and entering the ring, embracing with Waltman to a mixed reaction from the crowd and raising his hand in the air with some fans still chanting ‘X Pac Sucks!’ and ‘We Want Hall!’.

Nash and Waltman leave the ring side-by-side and the duo stop when they see a group of fans singing ‘Nananana, nananana, hey, hey, hey, goodbye’ at Waltman and Sean doesn’t take it kindly, talking trash to the fans and giving them multiple crotch chops which gives the fans the giggles before Nash and Waltman continue to walk up the ramp. The camera cuts backstage where the Motor City Machine Guns are watching the proceedings from a TV monitor in their locker room. Chris Sabin is holding a box of tissues and he turns to Alex Shelley, saying ‘...Tissue?’ as Shelley reaches into it and wipes his eyes, and Sabin mutters ‘...Me too’ before getting a tissue and blowing his nose, the ‘Guns pretending to cry now that Waltman is gone from TNA.

Elsewhere, Rhino who attacked D’Angelo Dinero out of the blue after Dinero’s victory over Sean Morley earlier tonight, is walking down a corridor, breathing heavily and muttering words to himself, when Jeremy Borash runs up to him with a microphone.

Borash: Rhino, could you give us a...

Borash is cut off when the man Rhino attacked, the Global Champion Dinero, jumps ‘The War Machine’ from behind! ‘The Pope’ stomps away at Rhino and then goes to ground, pounding him with blows as Borash shouts ‘Security! We need security here!’ and moments later before Dinero can well and truly leave his mark on Rhino, security guards arrive on the scene and restrain Dinero, stopping ‘The Pope’ from continuing his assault. Rhino slowly gets to his feet and security restrain him as well as Dinero shouts at Rhino, ‘You think you can get away with that, Rhino?!’ and ‘The Pope ain’t a steppin’ stone for nobody... nobody!’

The camera cuts to another destination, where the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy are walking down a corridor, on their way to the ring for their match against Desmond Wolfe and Mr. Anderson. Then, elsewhere, Wolfe is walking on his own, before cutting one more time to Anderson, who is somewhere else as the signs of Anderson and Wolfe not exactly being on the same page begin to show.

Tenay: There you see the two teams that are about to meet in our main event tonight, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy, Desmond Wolfe and Mr. Anderson, they square off on Impact, when we return!’


*Commercial Break*


Back on Impact, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan are stood in their office watching the show, and Bischoff turns to Hogan.

Bischoff: What do we do now, then? Waltman’s gone, but now Nash and Hall are left.

Hogan: Sean was the least of our concerns in his and Kev’s beef with Scott, so I think one of them’s gotta go, brother.

Bischoff: How are we gonna do that? Book ‘em in a match?

Hogan: Yeah, we are.

Mixed reaction from the crowd.

Hogan: How about, at Destination X, we have Nash versus Hall, loser leaves TNA?’

Eric, liking it, nods his head.

Bischoff: But c’mon, they’re both at least fifty, Hulk, the TNA fans don’t wanna see them slug it out and I know I don’t. Why don’t we make it a No Holds Barred match?

Pop from the crowd.

Hogan: Alright, brother.

Hogan and Bischoff then both continue to watch the show.

‘Get Ready To Fly’ plays to a big pop from the crowd and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy walk out, as both make poses and pyro rain falls from the ceiling before both men make their way down the ramp. Both men stand on the second rope in opposite corners of the ring, posing for the fans before climbing back down and standing in the corner, discussing tactics for the imminent tag team main event they are competing in.

Then, ‘Hungry Like A Wolfe’ blares out and Desmond Wolfe walks out, without his tag team partner Mr. Anderson but accompanied by his valet, Chelsea. Wolfe gives the fans his signature two-fingered gesture before walking down the ramp and entering the ring, removing his jacket and shades and giving them to Chelsea, who kisses him on the cheek before leaving the ring and standing by the announce table, giving Tenay and Taz a pretty good view.

Afterwards, ‘Mic Checked’ plays and Mr. Anderson makes his way out, not in a good mood after Sting confronted him earlier tonight as Anderson power-walks down the ramp and enters the ring, standing in the corner with Desmond Wolfe and soon after standing on the ring apron. Anderson and Jeff Hardy step out onto the ring, and it looks like AJ Styles and Wolfe will start off this match.

Tag Team Match
AJ Styles & Jeff Hardy Vs Desmond Wolfe & Mr. Anderson
The bell rings and AJ Styles and Desmond Wolfe, who faced off on Impact less than two weeks ago, immediately jump into the lock-up, as Wolfe uses his strength to force Styles into the corner of the ring but AJ comes back by forcing Wolfe back into the middle of the ring and Wolfe then gets behind AJ, taking him down to the mat with a belly-to-back take-down. Desmond stands up and grabs Styles’ legs, trying to lock in a Boston crab, but AJ turns over and pushes Wolfe into the corner of the ring with his legs and when Desmond regains his composure and runs at Styles, he takes Wolfe down with a drop toe hold and jumps to his feet, running off the ropes and dropping an elbow onto the back of Wolfe’s cranium. Styles gets back up and hits another elbow drop on Wolfe before getting him to his feet and going for a right hand but Wolfe catches it and kicks Styles in the mid-section, holding onto AJ’s arm as he goes behind Styles and hits the TNA World Heavyweight Champion with a Russian Leg Sweep, with AJ’s arm that Wolfe was holding onto landing somewhat precariously to say the least. Wolfe turns Styles over and makes the cover, 1...... 2... AJ kicks out.

Wolfe gets up and gets Styles back up to his feet, getting him in a front face-lock and lifting AJ up off the ground, in position for a suplexx, and Wolfe drops Styles forward as AJ’s legs bounce off the ropes before dropping him backwards with a suplex. Still holding onto Styles in the front face-lock, Wolfe gets back up and lifts AJ up again, repeating what he did a few moments ago as he drops AJ’s legs onto the ropes but this time, Styles breaks free from the front face-lock and lands on his feet on the ring apron as Wolfe runs at him but AJ hits him with a right hand which sends him back-pedalling and he turns his back to Styles, as ‘The Phenomenal One’ jumps onto the ropes and goes for a springboard flying forearm but Wolfe ducks out of the way of it as Styles lands on his feet and when he turns around, Wolfe nails him with a dropkick! Wolfe makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Styles kicks out.

Desmond Wolfe gets AJ Styles to his feet and Irish whips him into the corner of the ring where Wolfe’s partner for this match, Mr. Anderson is stood, as Wolfe tags Anderson into the match and they both double-team AJ in the corner by stomping away at his mid-section until Wolfe is instructed by the referee to leave the ring which he does, as Anderson takes matters into his own hands and hits Styles with some right hands before backing away and then charging at AJ in the corner but Styles moves out of the way as the man Styles defeated last night at Against All Odds to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship runs into the turnbuckles in the corner of the ring without meeting his target and Styles climbs onto Anderson, hitting him with conseucutive punches as the crowd count along and Wolfe, who is standing next to the two competitors on the ring apron, can only watch as the referee keeps a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t interfere and as the referee personally tells him not to when Wolfe reaches his hand out, Anderson gives Styles a low-blow and AJ falls off the second rope down to the canvas!

Wolfe ceases his distraction once that is done and overwith and Anderson stomps away at Styles, pressing his boot down on AJ’s throat until just before the referee’s count of five, as he then gets Styles to his feet and lifts him onto the back of his shoulders, walkig over to the corner of the ring and climbing to the top rope in position for the Green Bay Plunge, but AJ frantically tries to escape from the predicament and he eventually does after some clubbing blows to Anderson’s back and some punches to his face, as he climbs down in front of Anderson, getting him in position, and then hitting Anderson with a Superplex! The crowd cheer as both competitors lie on the canvas and Styles slowly makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Anderson kicks out! AJ gradually struggles to his feet, as does Anderson, and both men stagger over to opposite corners of the ring where their tag team partners are situated, as Anderson tags Desmond Wolfe back into the match and for the first time in this contest, Styles tags in Wolfe’s nemesis, Jeff Hardy!

Both competitors enter the ring and Desmond Wolfe runs directly at Jeff Hardy, but Hardy immediately takes Wolfe down with a clothesline! Wolfe gets back up almost straight away and runs towards Hardy once again, but Jeff takes him with another clothesline and the resillient Wolfe gets back up again, repeating the routine of running at Hardy but this time ‘The Charismatic Enigma’ floors the Englishman with an arm drag! Jeff is beginning to build up momentum and Wolfe gets back up once again, receiving a kick to the mid-section from Hardy, and Jeff goes for the Twist Of Fate but Wolfe pushes Hardy away. However, that doesn’t pay off, as Jeff runs even further and jumps to the top rope, jumping off and taking out Wolfe with Whisper In The Wind! Hardy makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Wolfe kicks out!

Hardy gets back up and gets Wolfe, who hasn’t been able to get in any offence against Jeff yet, up to his feet, and Hardy lifts Wolfe up for a scoop slam but Wolfe lands on his feet behind Jeff and he lifts Hardy up, hitting him with an Atomic Drop, and he follows it up by lifting Jeff up onto the back of his shoulders and planting Hardy with a Samoan drop! Wolfe gets back to his feet and he takes Jeff’s arm, holding up and hitting it with a knee drop before repeating that manoeuvre twice more and subsequently getting Hardy in a headlock. If you’re not sure as to how much pressure Wolfe is applying to Jeff’s head and neck, then Wolfe’s face tells the entire story, as does Hardy’s; Desmond, with his teeth clenched, repeatedly turns up the pressure as he even lets out a slight smirk, whilst Jeff is visibly in pain and both of his arms are reached out as far as they can go, as he desperately tries to escape.

Jeff Hardy begins to slam his feet against the canvas repeatedly as the crowd begin to clap along and they chant ‘Let’s Go, Hardy!’ which is craftily countered, albeit a bit quieter, by a ‘Let’s Go, Wolfe!’ chant. Hardy continues to try to break out of this headlock and Jeff tries to fight to his feet as Wolfe tries to keep Hardy down but there’s no stopping ‘The Charismatic Enigma’ as he is now on his feet and he tries to shrug off Wolfe and as a result fight out of it, hitting Wolfe in the mid-section with elbow after elbow after elbow, not stopping until Wolfe staggers backwards, holding his ribs, and Hardy is now free. Wolfe tries to instantly recover by getting Jeff in a standing headlock but Hardy quickly pushes Wolfe away into the ropes and when Desmond comes running back, Jeff gets him in a front-facelock, lifts him up off his feet and into the air, and drops Wolfe on the canvas on his front! Hardy quickly turns Wolfe over and makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Wolfe gets the shoulder up! Jeff gets up and gets Wolfe to his feet, Irish whipping Wolfe into the corner of the ring and then running at him, but Wolfe counters with a simplistic boot to the face of Hardy, following it up by driving Jeff’s face into the canvas with a bulldog! Wolfe frantically makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Hardy kicks out! Wolfe gets Jeff back up and holds his hand, as Mr. Anderson, who is standing nearby is tagged into the match once again and Wolfe holds Jeff up as Anderson hits Hardy repeatedly with right hands until Wolfe leaves the ring as per the orders of the referee.

Mr. Anderson gets Jeff Hardy in a front face-lock and repeatedly knees Hardy into the mid-section whilst in this position, before grabbing Jeff’s arm and subsequently hitting Hardy with a swinging neckbreaker! Anderson makes the cover, 1...... 2...... Hardy gets the shoulder up! Anderson gets to his feet and turns Jeff over, taking Hardy’s right arm and laying it out on the canvas as he begins to repeatedly and relentlessly stomp on it, running off the ropes and bringing his weight onto the arm with a knee drop. Anderson stands over Hardy and gets Jeff’s arm in between his legs, holding onto his hand and looking at the crowd, smirking before falling backwards as Hardy’s arm is almost taken off! Jeff writhes in pain as he covers up his arm under his body, holding onto it and trying to shield it from Anderson who drags Jeff across the ring and towards the steel ring-post. Anderson then slides out of the ring and pulls Hardy further forward, taking his injured arm and about to drive it into the steel ring-post but Jeff slides out of the ring, preventing that from happening, and with his healthy arm he unloads on Anderson with left hands. Anderson begins to back-pedal and Hardy runs at him, but Anderson lifts Jeff up and drops him spine-first on the concrete floor with a back body drop!

Jeff Hardy lies motionlessly on the concrete floor and Mr. Anderson kneels over him, saying ‘You’re not gonna get out of this match by count-out by’ before getting him back up to his feet and getting him back in the ring, then re-entering the squared circle himself, hooking both of Hardy’s legs and expecting victory here, 1...... 2...... Fortunately, AJ Styles intervenes and breaks up the cover! The crowd cheer AJ as Mr. Anderson gets back up and runs at Styles, livid that the TNA World Heavyweight Champion broke up the pinfall there, but the referee comes between them, telling AJ to stand on the ring apron and telling Anderson not to go near him. Anderson glares at Styles for a few moments before turning on his heels and walking towards Jeff Hardy, getting Hardy to his feet and getting ‘The Charismatic Enigma’ in position for a Mic Check, but Hardy fights out of it after a few elbows to the cranium of Mr. Anderson, and literally within the blink of an eye, Hardy kicks Anderson in the mid-section and nails him with the Twist Of Fate!

However, Jeff isn’t able to capitalize on hitting his finishing manoeuvre as he lies motionlessly on the canvas and Mr. Anderson does as well a few feet away from him. Several moments later, Hardy begins to ever-so slowly crawl across the ring towards the corner where AJ Styles, who is desperate to re-enter the match, has his hand reached out, and eventually Anderson begins to gradually make his way over to the corner where Desmond Wolfe has his hand reached out as well. At a snail’s pace, Anderson tags Wolfe back into the match, and Hardy tags the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Styles back into the match as well! Both competitors, who are a whole lot fresher than Mr. Anderson and Jeff Hardy right now, enter the ring and AJ Styles and Desmond Wolfe, who started off this tag team contest as the legal men, begin to trade right hands rapidly, with neither man able to gain the upper hand in this exchange of blows, until Styles ducks out of the way of one of Wolfe’s attempted punches and AJ goes behind Wolfe, hitting him with a dropkick as the Englishman falls into the corner of the ring. Styles takes a handful of steps back before running across the ring and jumping into the air when a few feet away from Wolfe, nailing Wolfe in the back with a flying forearm!

Styles then follows it up with a Schoolboy, the match could end here, 1...... 2...... Wolfe kicks out! Both competitors get back to their feet, Styles getting back up before Wolfe, and Wolfe runs at AJ but ‘The Phenomenal One’ lifts Wolfe up and drops him down to the canvas with a back body drop. Holding his back in pain, Wolfe gradually gets back up again and AJ runs at him, hitting him with a flying shoulder tackle and making another pin, 1...... 2...... Wolfe gets the shoulder up! Styles, not wasting any time, gets Wolfe back up and tucks his head in between his legs, trying to lift Wolfe’s legs up so he can get in position to hit the Styles Clash but Wolfe keeps his feet on the ground and he lifts AJ up and drops him down with a back body drop, escaping from the predicament.

Wolfe then looks around the crowd, before giving the fans his signature two-fingered gesture which draws a lot of heat, and waiting for Styles to get to his feet. AJ gradually gets up, and Wolfe leans back in between the ropes, before charging at Styles, attempting his signature Jawbreaker Lariat, but AJ ducks out of the way of it and when Wolfe turns around to face AJ the TNA World Heavyweight Champion kicks him in the mid-section, lifts up his legs, and nails Wolfe with the STYLES CLASH!!! AJ then tags Jeff Hardy back in and Hardy climbs to the top rope, leaping off, and hitting Wolfe with the SWANTON BOMB!!! Jeff makes the cover, as Mr. Anderson has one foot in the ring, about to attempt to break up the pinfall, 1...... 2...... ANDERSON’S ALMOST THERE ... 3!!! Hardy and Styles pick up the victory!
Winners - AJ Styles & Jeff Hardy @ 16:39

‘Modest’ plays and Jeff Hardy gets to his feet as he has his hand raised by the refereee, as does AJ Styles, to a big pop from the crowd, but the winning duo don’t have long to celebrate, as Mr. Anderson jumps Hardy and Styles from behind! The cheers turn to boos as one of the losers of the match attacks the winners, as Hardy goes down and Anderson stomps away at him, throwing Styles through the ropes.

Tenay: Aww, come on! That sore loser Mr. Anderson’s attacking Hardy and Styles, somebody stop this!’

Then, Sting runs out and makes his way down the ramp, entering the ring and immediately going after Anderson, taking him down with a clothesline but then Samoa Joe runs down the ramp and attacks Sting! ‘The Icon’ is down and Joe stomps away at him whilst Anderson gets up and he and Wolfe, who has been helped by Anderson, continue to assault Styles, who has re-entered the ring but has been taken down by Joe, and Hardy.

Taz: Is anybody gonna help these guys?! They’re getting their asses kicked in there!

As soon as he says that...

‘Whole F’n Show’ blares out, AND THE CROWD GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS, AS ROB VAN DAM JUMPS OVER THE SECURITY RAIL AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE, FLYING OFF AND TAKING WOLFE DOWN WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD!

Tenay: OH MY GOD! THE HOTTEST FREE AGENT IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, ROB - VAN - DAM, IS HERE, IN TNA!!!

Anderson runs at Van Dam, BUT RVD LAYS OUT ANDERSON WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND HE THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPES, HITTING ANDERSON WITH THE ROLLING THUNDER!!!

Taz: Wow! I thought these fans went crazy when Sting returned earlier tonight, BUT THEY ARE GOING ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN’ NUTS FOR VAN DAM, BABY, AND I CAN’T BLAME THEM ONE BIT!

Van Dam springs back up, and Samoa Joe runs at RVD but Van Dam wipes out Joe with a kick to the head and RVD then climbs to the top rope, making his ‘RVD’ gesture, BEFORE NAILING SAMOA JOE WITH THE FIVE-STAR FROGSPLASH!!!

Tenay: WHAT A MONUMENTAL MOMENT ON A MONUMENTAL NIGHT! ROB VAN DAM HAS ARRIVED IN TNA!’

‘Whole F’n Show’ plays again as Hardy, Sting and Styles get back up and all four men raise each other’s hands to close this historic Monday Night Impact.

Tenay: What a night this has been! Good night, everybody, and we will see you all again next Monday!

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

The "CRUNK ROCK" Review:

~ Not surprising to see Rob Van Dam open the show. Good idea to kick off things with a promo from your newest acquisition. I was fully expecting an Anderson-Anderson interruption, so I was a bit thrown off by Desmond Wolfe's appearance. Wolfe had a good exchange with The Whole F'n Show, but Rob was all but guaranteed to get the upper hand here with it being his debut. At the end of this segment I don't really see why it was Wolfe to interrupt RVD and not Anderson; I guess you were just looking for a way to set up Wolfe/Sting next week.

~ The Beer Money/Lethal Consequences match was really all it needed to be, a momentum building win for the tag team champs. Team 3D going against GenMe should be good next week. GenMe probably should get the win, but I really don't see 3D beating the Guns tonight and losing again to Generation Me next week. It should be interesting.

~ The Bischoff/Rhino segment really didn't do much for me. It seemed really generic, which I could understand if writing for just Rhino, but nevertheless Rhino's got a number one contender's match next week, which is probably a win for the War Machine. Good idea to give him a win before his probable loss to Dinero at the PPV.

~ Good match between the former pals, Terry and Magnus. This match was a great way to continue the World Elite/Mornandez angle, plus adding Big Rob to the fray wasn't a bad idea. He still has unfinished business with the Brits, so it makes sense. I still have some doubt that Morgan and Hernandez are 100% on the same page though...

~ Strong promo from Daniels. He's a great choice for X-Division champ, and Ultimate X should definitely bring the awesome. Daniels was his arrogant, amazing self here. Very well written. Also lots of good action between Kendrick and Suicide. I think you made the right choice by putting Kendrick in. I don't think Kendrick's ever been in Ultimate X, so I'm interrested to see if you have any spots specifically made for him.

~ Wow. Intense segment with Hogan, Jarrett, and Foley. Foley and Jarrett are building strong cases against Hogan and Bischoff (I especially loved Foley's point of how he didn't hold a big press conference or wait 3 months to get involved in the company), and I'm very interested to see where you'll be taking this from here. Will there be a match? Will Jarrett and Foley make peace with Hogan? Will they expose him? Very interesting.

~ I thought Rhino's #1 Contender's match was next week? Pretty sure you just overlooked that, it happens. Solid win for Rhino, who didn't get a chance to rest! Everything Pope does is gold, and I like that you fit him into the show even if it was just for a post match beatdown.

~ I enjoyed the Angle/Joe segment, but I'm not sure how I feel about a ladder match between the two. TNA is often criticised for giving too much away on free TV, but with TNA having just moved to Mondays in your thread I can see why you're willing to put on a match like this. I was wondering why Angle wasn't on the show last week, and we haven't heard from Flair since he wasn't allowed into the PPV. Perhaps he'll show up next week to screw Angle out of the #1 contenders spot. Anyway, solid promo, everyone was well written and I'm excited to see where it leads.

~ Strong win for the Guns, putting them over 3D really makes them seems like a big deal, not just in the tag team division, but as a whole. I really like the roll they've been on lately, and I hope it leads to something great.

~ Hall and Nash's backstage brawl didn't do much for me, but it was quick and painless and got their feud on tv. I can only imagine how slow they would move if this brawl was happening IRL.

~ I like how you've built the main event all through the night. You really know how to make a main event feel like a main event. Honestly I don't know what's gonna happen here. Anderson needs a win badly, but RVD shouldn't lose his debut either. Sting's bat coming down instead of Anderson's microphone was genious! Very creative, I loved that! Really strong main event, with Anderson still looking great in loss. The Sting/Anderson feud is really shaping up nicely, and RVD gets a solid first win. Wolfe sounds like he has something in store for Rob, but he'll have the Stinger to deal with first.

OVERALL: This show wasn't quite up there with the rest. The good parts were definitley the matches. They were all solid and well written, and again I love how the main event felt like a main event. The promos and backstage segments were hit (Daniels, Joe/Angle, Foly/Jarrett/Hogan) and miss (Nash/Hall, Rhino). I'm not sure where you're going with Anderson and Wolfe as they seem to have become jobbers to the main event babyfaces, and I really don't see Wolfe picking up a win over Sting next week, or Anderson in a feud with him for that matter. Don't get me wrong, this was a good show, just not up to par with some of your other work. 7/10

TNA Monday Night Impact Preview - March 1, 2010

The first show of March will be one hell of a ride as Monday Night Impact returns to Spike for two hours of the best professional wrestling you can see anywhere!

Not one, but two huge main events are scheduled for this Monday's show, with Desmond Wolfe facing 'The Icon' Sting for the first time ever, and Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe re-kindling their epic rivalry from years ago for one night only, in a Ladder match! Joe's Feast or Fired briefcase guaranteeing a TNA World Heavyweight Championship match anytime, anywhere will be up for grabs in the death-defying Ladder match, and both men have stated that, should they win, they will use the opportunity against 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles at Destination X! Wolfe seemingly kick-started a rivalry with Rob Van Dam last week, and Sting is having issues with Anderson, so will we see any developments, especially as we are scheduled to hear from Anderson?

That's not all though, because The Motor City Machine Guns' Alex Shelley will face 'The King Of The Mountain' Jeff Jarrett! Jarrett and Mick Foley returned to TNA last week and confronted Hulk Hogan, but can Jarrett shake off the ring rust, regain his composure and defeat Shelley?

We will also hear from the TNA Global Champion 'The Pope' D'Angelo who will defend his gold against 'The War Machine' Rhino on March 21st at Destination X after he defeated Abyss last week to earn the opportunity. What will Dinero have to say to his Destination X opponent?

'The Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels will defend his TNA X Division Championship against five other competitors in an Ultimate X Match at Destination X, one of them being Brian Kendrick who qualified last week. This week, Kazarian takes on Kiyoshi with the winner filling the third slot in Ultimate X!

Also this week, the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships Generation Me face the veterans Team 3D, and Doug Williams takes on 'Super Mex' Hernandez! To see all of this and more, tune into Spike at 8/7CT this Monday night to watch Impact!

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Impact Feedback​

I was a huge fan of your WWE thread, and this is my first venture into this thread, which I’ve heard mixed things about, so forgive me if I’m biased.

The Anderson promo to start was okay, but didn’t really have any substance about it. Don’t get me wrong, he had his digs at Sting because Sting has been causing him trouble, but it seemed like you just threw in a few cheap insults here and there, followed by a catchphrase. No flow whatsoever for me. Keep Sting short and sharp, please. I don’t like Sting making jokes either, it just doesn’t fit in with his mysterious character. Once again, towards the end, it just seems like you’re trying way to hard with Anderson, and I failed to get excited by anything that he said.

Desmond Wolfe attacking Sting out of nowhere is just typical TNA booking, just cramming way too much into the first segment. I guess you’re sticking with their style? RVD helping Sting out confirms this for me even more.

On a side note, I like all the Angle/Joe videos, making the match a really big deal.

Kazarian was always going to go over Kiyoshi, tbh. Has anything happened with Kazarian and Daniels in the past? If not, this stare down probably didn’t need to happen this week.

:lmao at an Abyss and Foley promo. Anyway, Abyss was bad on the mic, so glad it didn’t last long, and Foley was pretty good. I think maybe Foley could have fired up just a little bit earlier, as when he was calm; the things you had him saying didn’t seem very Foley like. Having Foley calm down after he had already fired up was also not in character, as once Foley lets rip, he goes nuts. Abyss ignores the hand shake, but I’m pretty sure the seeds of a much needed heel turn have been planted.

I’m quite happy that Bischoff stepped in and removed all the guys from ringside, will make for a better match.

A good win for Doug Williams against Hernandez. I can’t really say much else, as I don’t know if they have been feuding for awhile or what.

Generation Me defeating Team 3D shocked me a little, but I guess they’re getting pushed to tag gold so it’s the right move. I’m glad you’re having Team 3D putting over younger talent to, as their run at the top of the tag division should have been finished a long time ago.

Beer Money adding some bad blood to their feud is always good; however I didn’t like The Hardy Boyz reference. TNA mention WWE far too much, IRL, and I don’t like it here either.

I love The Pope, and I think his character is amazing; however I couldn’t get into this promo from the start. As soon as the word “hippo” came into play, I found the promo to be very lame, for a lack of a better word. A couple of the mum jokes weren’t that bad, but this promo didn’t cut it for me at all.

I mark for Rhino, so I’d love to see him defeat The Pope. The attack was pretty damn intense, as was the shit with Taz, which was pretty unexpected, and I’d say you’ve given Rhino all the momentum in the world. Capitalise on it, though, as you clearly write Rhino better than you write The Pope.

Don West? I wouldn’t have commentators at all if I were booking TNA.

A great win for Alex Shelley over Jarrett. I’m loving the way you’re giving some of the young talent a red hot go, although the sooner you get the likes of Foley, Jarrett and even Sting out of the ring for good, the better.

I pray that Hogan was able to convince Jarrett to leave for good. If not, Jarrett should have smashed the guitar over Hogan’s head, injuring Hogan and forcing Hogan to leave. If neither of these happen, I’ll be severely annoyed. :p

Bischoff does not suit being a face. Turn him into Rhino’s handler, please.

A big win for Desmond Wolfe over Sting which is something I like. I’m not sure what Wolfe is up to in terms of the big picture at the moment, but I really hope he’s not just hanging around, not in a big feud.

I hope Anderson is right. You need to retire Sting.

Angle seemed pretty intense, and pretty in character here. Nothing to complain about at all.

Joe’s interview was also pretty good, although all that stuff about who facing who in the ladder match did seem a little jumbled up. Joe sent a message to AJ, and Angle didn’t, I really hope this doesn’t mean you’ve already given away the result, as at the moment I expect Joe to win, just from reading these interviews.

I appreciate the amount of detail you put into the main event, even if it was a glorified spot fest. Joe got the win, which is just what I expected after reading the interviews. You should probably just watch not giving little hints away in promo’s before the match, ruins the excitement. As for Flair screwing Angle, I don’t know what to think, but I’m not liking so much emphasis on all the old guys.

Overall, you’ve now got Styles/Joe, and Anderson/Sting to head into Destination X as your two main feuds. Besides these, and the push of the MCMG’s, I’m not too sure I like what’s going on in this thread at the moment. In real life, there is way too much emphasis on the older talent for my liking, and you seem to be doing the exact same thing. With that being said, you do know where the talent is, as your champions list is rather impressive, so here’s to hoping you can rectify the wreck that is TNA more and more in this thread.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

Hey, man. Sorry I haven't been commenting, but I have been reading. Show looks pretty good here. You've got a huge main event which should be great, the undercard looks pretty good with the match jumping out being Sabin and Foley. The rest of the matches look fine as well. Kurt Angle promo should be good while the Rhyno one should be at least decent.

Looking forward to it.

Re: Shocker Presents: TNA 2010 - The Revolution

iMPACT! Feedback

Tag team qualifier for the Ultimate X? That's different. I think Daniels, Red, Kaz and Kendrick is enough, but another two might make the match crowded. Lethal could have been a fine addition. Not a fan of Moore though. I don't know if I'm reading this right, but when did Daniels join the booth? Didn't see it before the description or after. Just found out he was there.

Kaz singling out Daniels twice was kinda awkward. I know Daniels is champ, but the second time was a little much I think. Quick promo I might add as well. I think it could have been longer, and Kaz could have been up a longer argument about his desire to be champ.

Wasn't it Young losing in a match last week? And it's Young getting the loss again this week? Not a good choice there. Would have had another member or Young winning at the least.

Good lil' Ultimate X promo here. Could have definitely used a little more length and emphasis, but I don't mind. Nice to see some time put into the X Division once again. Surprised in the lack of main event/upper card talk.

Good final line from Angle to end the promo, but once again another short promo. I kinda feel like you're either getting lazy or unmotivated to write. Nonetheless, the idea of Angle hating Wolfe, and still teaming up with him should be interesting later on.

Dinero gets the win, and much more importantly, gets the best of Rhino. I was kinda feeling like Rhino had the upper hand in the past few weeks. Didn't know Rhino was Jesse Neal's mentor. That's new.

Looking for Sting? This segment kinda happens a lot on iMPACT! in real life. This little promo right after is alright. The two of them are generic throughout, and to be honest, kinda unentertaining. I don't like the idea of putting something you don't have yet on the line. It either gives a chance to either men to win on Sunday OR it makes the match less meaningful next week without the #1 contendership.

Don't know what to think of this next promo. Foley was alright, kinda don't like when Abyss speaks, and the promo ended a little abruptly. I think when Abyss said "that is going to kick your ass right now" is when Abyss should of attacked. Adding another line in after that didn't do him any justice. The attack was pretty brief as well.

Brief promo here from Joe as well. Not much to the promo. Did add a little hype to the pay-per-view match, and shows him as a fighter at the least.

Nice to see a video package of Hall/Nash considering they haven't appeared yet in the show. Surprised at how little advertisement/hype there was for this next match. It's a tables match. Deserved more than it got. Another week, another match with Team 3D. Really looks like they're an extra team jobbing and getting other teams over. At least they won this week. The Beer Money attack made sense.

The blind tag made the aftermath all the better. Angle's gotten too much airtime this show. Really got himself over. Quite surprised he managed to take everyone out actually.

Yay! He found Sting. =P Whoa. Throwing Anderson down a flight of stairs? Couldn't imagine it, but that's quite awesome. Don't think Sting would go to JB and add another comment in though.

Anderson's distraction to cause Sting to lose made sense. It's also good to see Joe with some momentum going into his match with Styles.

Although the show had six match, and a decent amount of promos, I felt it was really short for some reason. Furthermore, even though all the storylines and matches got some time, I felt there was nothing entertaining about the show. It needed the 'IT' factor, but didn't really have it. Once again, I don't know if its laziness or a lack of motivation to write, but this show isn't my favorite. Maybe you just wanted to get it over and done with. Definitely could have done more. I'm glad Destination X is next though. I cannot freakin' wait for that.
