HAH?!? YOU GONNA PUSH STEINER TO THE MOON LIKE HE DESERVES?! HAH?!? HAH?!?!

Not a bad start, but I'm curious to how you handle the TNA roster in shows. I hope you do your best to capture Scott Steiner's natural awesome.

Or maybe even show us a TNA that is more than 60% angles involving Kurt Angle!

Awesome start. There's clearly a lot of potential in TNA. Curious to see where this goes.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys and yeah I really thought that trying to prevent the Swerve for the sake of Swerve would be a good starting point for a diary. Next post will be me arriving in Orlando and meeting the creative team ,after that a preview of the first show and then the first show.

Again thanks for all the feedback its making me more excited then I already was,

PS If you think you know who the mystery user character is drop me a pm if you guess right you win a mystery prize hehe.

Edit: Starting roster will come after the first show.

Some time later I arrived at Orlando International Airport. Unfortunately I was in worse shape then when I stepped out the door earlier that day. I had hoped to get some sleep in the plane but for some reason that image still haunted me.

After being held up at the baggage claim because they wanted to check my luggage, who can blame them I was looking like a bum, fortunately that also meant no cavity search, I came out to the arrivals section. There was an unfamiliar face holding a sign with my name on it and he instantly waved at me. At least I was still a bit recognizable.

Man: Hi nice to meet you, had a rough trip I see. I am Terry.

Unfortunately this was not the Terry I knew but for better or worse I suspected I would get to know him more in the future.

Me: Hi Terry, yeah you can say that again. So where do we meat the creative team?

Terry: Don’t you want to freshen up first or something?

Me: Nah best get straight to business.

Terry: Yeah, I heard that about you. Well they are waiting for you at the Impact Zone or soundstage 21 if you will. They aren’t too happy tough being called in on such short notice but Dixie told them you where adamant.

Me: We can make nice later right now I am just interested in getting on the job.

Terry: Man something musta really lighted a spark up your behinds! Did they do a cavity search and pull a rocket outtah there?

Me: Actually you are not too far from the truth there buddy. Now let’s get going shall we?

Luckily it wasn’t too far a drive to Universal Studios and Terry sensed I wasn’t really in the mood for idle chatter. Might have been a mistake on my part not to make use of the opportunity to play nice but at that time I was only interested in one thing and one thing only.

When we arrived I was kinda disappointed at the size of the actual set and accommodations but could definitely see that the potential was there. As we came to a door Terry pointed me to go in and made to leave.

Me: Aren’t you coming in? I thought you where a part of it?

Terry: Nah mate I’ll let the guys inside fill you in on how it’s organized, see ya.

Well that was one assumption dispelled guess there could be any number of people behind that door then. I remember thinking too myself:

Please no Vince, please no Vince.

I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts. I might not be looking in the best shape but my mind was sharp as ever and I really needed to make a good first impact if I wanted to get my way. Just as I was about to knock on the door it opened for me and low and behold I looked straight into this face:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/VinceRusso.jpg

Oh great there goes that hope.

Vince: Hiya we been waiting for ya come, heard you and Terry talking so I thought I’d open the door for ya.

Me: Yeah thanks, actually I was under the impression that Terry would be part of this.

Vince: No he’s not involved in the creative aspect he just does talent relations.

Ok is it me or is that a strange concept? In the wrestling business you can only be as creative as the talent at your disposal. Who to hire and who not to hire should be in immediate connection with what plans you have and stories you intend to tell.

As I was led into the room I saw that there where only three other people present, one I expected and had come prepared for the other was a relief but also a bit of an unknown factor as it came to the booking side of things. You be the judge who I mean by which

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg

Mick: Hey, hey good to see ya there pally boy!

As he gave me a hug, Foley always was the intimate type even with people he didn’t know very well.

Jeff: Good to see ya and welcome aboard my baby, welcome to the TNA family.

He gave me an overly firm handshake and his voice sounded sincere, but his body language gave me the impression he was skeptical about my presence.

Me: So it’s just the four of us? I had at least expected Dutch to be here too.

Jeff: Nah him and Savio (Vega) have decided on a project over in Puerto Rico and have left on amicable terms, they have taken Hector (Guerrero) and Willy (Urbina) with them as well.

Mick: Don’t forget about Andrew!

Jeff: Yeah Thomas went with them as well, we gave them our blessing and we hope for them to succeed.

Me: And what about Tenay, Borash and Cornette?

Jeff: They aren’t as involved as they used to be but we still consult them on occasion, sometimes they sit in on the meetings. Anyways what you wanted us here in such a hurry for?

Me: Well to see what you had planned for tomorrow’s Impact and see if I could be of help with that.

Vince: Tomorrow’s Impact!? I changed my schedule for that! Hell I could be watching cartoons right now!

Me: Huh what do you mean?

Mick: Cut him some slack will ya Vinny boy, he clearly doesn’t know.

Vince: Off course he knows! He knows we tape our shows, we tape em two shows in advance! Hell everyone knows it!

Dammit I knew this. How could have I forgotten. Must have been that dream it’s all its fault hell it’s the darn reason I am here and now I have already lost two shows I could have tweaked.

Me: Sorry these last couple of days have been hectic it’s my fault. I just really want to help you see. Anyways know that we are all here we can at least talk about some long term plans and ideas.

Vince: We will see about that, seeing as we got it all planned out till Bound For Glory. We are still unsure about some parts of it but most of its set in stone.

Jeff: Yeah me, Vince and Dutch before he left have pretty much worked it out it’s stored in my office together with the tapes of the next two weeks worth of Impact.

Me: Oh ok well guess there isn’t much I can do then. You say you have it all written out already?

Vince: Like anyone could remember all that stuff.

Jeff: Just think of it as the TNA Bible for the upcoming months. No one really knows the contents but we do live by it.

Mick: Ah come on cheer up guys we instead of arguing we are all here so let’s use this opportunity to have some fun together whatta ya say? Yeah!

Jeff: As tempting as that sounds Mick I gotta get back to my little girls.

Vince: Yeah me too I have to see my car… ehm children.

Me: I am up for it Mick, I just need to make some calls and freshen up at my hotel before we go okay?

Mick: Now we are talking I am sure we will Have a Nice Night! Hehe.

Mick drove me to the hotel where Terry told me I had a room until I could find a place and get settled. Mick stayed down in the lobby while I went to freshen up. First tough I had an important call to make.

Me: Scott is that you? It’s me.

Scott: Yeah it’s me, heard you where coming down TNA way.

Me: I need you to do something for me.

Scott: When isn’t that the case? What’s in it for me?

Me: How about long term gainful employment?

Scott: So what is it you want?

Me: You up for a round of Bible Burning?

Scott: What!?

The following morning I was feeling a lot better, even tough I was slightly hung over after drinking with Mick, because I knew everything had gone to plan. Scott having sent me a text message before I went to bed. Now only to figure out what that buzzing noise was that had woken me up. As I cleared the cobwebs I realized it was the Telephone.

Jeff: Get your ass down here pronto there’s been a major f*ck up!

Me: Oh really what’s happened?

Jeff: I’ll tell you when you get here just hurry up dammit!

Me: Ok, ok hold ya horses I am coming.

Jeff: You better be here in no more then thirty minutes buckaroo or else!

And with that he hung up. I arranged for a cab to pick me up in five minutes and managed to squeeze in a quick shower before I got dressed in the clothes I wore the last day not having had time to unpack yet.

I arrived at the Impact Zone thirty five minutes later and went to Jeff’s office. Jeff didn’t seem to notice my tardiness as he was in all kind of states.

Jeff: Good you are here, Vince and Mick should be arriving shortly. F*ck, F*ck, F*ck!

Me: So what is up?

Jeff: What’s up? What’s up? I’ll tell you what’s up that is what’s up! Up in flames that is!

As he said this he pointed towards the back of his office desk. As I walked over I noticed a big black hole instead of where I supposed the drawers used to be.

Jeff: It’s all gone, gone what the hell are we going to do!

Me: What’s all gone?

Jeff: The book that’s what gone! The whole script leading up to Bound For Glory! Not to mention the tapes of the upcoming two Impact episodes!

Me, while trying to sound sincere,: What a shame.

Jeff: And on top off that Dixie wants us to cut back on the amount of talent as she has four people in mind for written contracts. So we have to figure out who that is going to be and write them out of the storylines!

Me: Four workers coming in, that's interesting.

Jeff: Well more three and they aren’t certain yet the other one wanted more money before committing to TNA.

At that moment Mick and Vince came in and asked what was going on. After Jeff explained the situation to them you could cut the tension with a knife. Just at that moment a staffer walked in and handed Jeff a note.

Jeff: Oh for f*cks sake now Rob Terry goes and gets himself tested positive for steroid abuse. I told him to watch it with that ****! Hell he is fired the dumb idiot. Should serve as a good example too.

Vince: Now never mind all that what the hell are we going to do!

Me: I might have some ideas……..

In the first qualifying bout for the King of the X Mountain, Homicide takes on Doug Williams at the same time burning for revenge for what they did too his partner Hernandez.

Matt Morgan faces an unnamed opponent in a bid to further impress the Main Event Mafia.

The first round of the Queen of the Mountain newcomer Tara wants to follow up on her impressive form so far against fellow newcomer Ayako.

Beer Money Inc. won the 3D invitational and look to continue their form taking on veteran tag team wrestler BG James and not yet named tag partner.

Abyss finally gets his hands on "Dr." Stevie but will he be able to overcome the mind games and his own problems and come out with a victory?

And in our Main Event the new godfather of the Main Event Mafia faces none other then TNA Original "The Fallen Angel" Daniels! Who will be the first to qualify for the King of the Mountain Match?

This and much more on an all new action packed episode of Impact!

Slipiversary

Location: The Impact Zone, South East.
Attendance: 1.300.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MikeTenay.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DonWest.jpg
Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West.

Tenay: Welcome everybody to another action packed edition of Impact!
West: You can say that again! Actually better you don't.
Tenay: We kick of proceedings with Homicide versus Doug Williams with Homicide looking for revenge for what the Brits did to Hernandez.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JimCornette.jpg
Before the wrestlers come to the ring tough, Cornette shows up microphone in hand and makes his way to the ring. He says he has several announcements to make but first he wants to show a video.

What we see is Team No Limit, Kiyoshi and Bashir aided by Rob Terry totally destroying Jesse Neal and him eventually being taken away in an ambulance. This elicits some strong boos from the crowd as Cornette takes the microphone again. He says that due to these heinous actions Team No Limit have been sent back to New Japan and Kyoshi and Rob Terry have been fired.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Daivari.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfnlcM5AB6U)
Bashir makes his way to the entrance ramp and he is furious. Cornette shows Bashir that he has another pink slip for him. But he decided that instead of firing him outright he was going to make his live in TNA a living hell so he would really have something to rant about. Bashir is lived and wants to get at Cornette but security take him too the back.

Cornette now proceeds to announce to contestants for tonight’s qualifiers for the first King of X, adding that stipulation to the Homicide vs. Williams match, and first Queen of the Mountain, Tara vs. Ayako, to be held at Slammiversary. Furthermore the main event of the show will be a King of the Mountain Qualifier between Daniels and Sting!

Rating: C+

Tenay: Wow those are some announcements made by Cornette! And good on him to make Bashir and co suffer for what they did to Neal.
West: He is just being punished for speaking his mind! This is ridiculous!
Tenay: Oh come on you saw what they did! Now lets get to the first match which has just gotten some added importance.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Homicide.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjxxZifRvA) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DougWilliams.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFmVcQzyD4)
Homicide vs. Doug Williams

Homicide shows a lot of fire early on, seeking revenge for what the British Invasion did to his partner Hernandez. His high speed offence seems too much to handle for Williams until Magnus manages to trip Homicide as he goes for the ropes.

Williams now uses his methodical wrestling style to slow Homicide down and lays on him with suplexes and European uppercuts. As he sets Homicide up for his patented Chaos Theory (, roll through double German Suplex,) he hits the first part but on the second part Homicide counters out of nowhere with a Gringo Cutter for the win.

After the pin the lights go out, when they go back on Suicide is in the ring eyeing up Homicide. Lights go out and Suicide is gone again.

Winner: Homicide.
Rating: B-, good chemistry. Brutus Magnus interfered and Suicide appeared.

Tenay: What a match to start of this special live edition of Impact!
West: Wait we are live? So I can say what I truly feel about you and they can't bleep me well...
Tenay: And know we cut to the back as JB is standing with "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeremyBorash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg

JB: Hello everybody I am standing right here with none other then "Big Sexy", "The Giant Killer" Kevin Nash! So Nash you had something to say about Sting becoming the new godfather of the Main Event Mafia?

Nash: Indeed I do JB, indeed I do....

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg

Before Nash can say much though Matt Morgan arrives on the scene, pushing JB aside and getting quite close to Nash. He seems all pumped up and exited.

Morgan: I want in Nash! I want in!

Nash: You want in huh? You want to become a member of the Main Event Mafia?

Morgan: Yeah, yeah that's what I want, I got all the tools necessary too. I am the hottest free agent out here, the DNA of TNA!

Nash: Ok I'll see what I can do. First off why don't you take care of an old friend of mine and the Kliq.

Morgan: He is dead already!

Morgan leaves as Nash rubs his chin in appreciative thought.

Rating: B+

Tenay: Seems Morgan is up to no good and wants in the Mafia.
West: Who wouldn't want to join them, they are the most powerful group in wrestling today! And a nice bunch of guys to boot.
Tenay: Anyways Morgan's first test is up next! Wait I have just been handed information that the match will be a Texas Death Match!
West: Oh Boy I wouldn't want to be in Morgan's opponents shoes right now!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjP8zSRUAqI) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ShaneDouglas.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4q45ZK_7dI)
Matt Morgan vs. Shane Douglas

As we await for the arrival of Morgan's opponent Tenay tells us the rules of a Texas Death Match, no holds barred and you win when your opponent can't get up for a ten count after a pin.

The crowd gives a decent pop as Douglas appears to be the surprise opponent all the while Morgan is laughing in the ring.

Morgan starts by underestimating the wily Douglas and pays for it as a couple of cheap shots and chop blocks later Douglas seems to be in control. He has a real fire up his ass it seems given his relations with the Kliq.

Alas it seemed that Douglas's offence was all that was needed to wake up Morgan and he puts on a dominating display for the rest of the match. Finally ending things with three successive Hellavetors.

Winner: Matt Morgan.
Rating: D, Morgan improved in performance skills.

Tenay: Douglas put up a brave battle but it wasn't enough.
West: A battle? That was a massacre! As Morgan makes clear why he belongs to be a member.
Tenay: Let's send it to Lauren who is in the back with the Beautiful People.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/LaurenThompson.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AngelWilliams.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TaliaMadison.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AshleyLane.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KipJames.jpg

Lauren: Thanks Mike I am standing here with the *ugh* Beautiful People looking for a comment after Angeline's disputable win over Kong at Sacrifice.

As usual Love steals the microphone from Lauren and Velvet pushes her away. Madison is subdued in the background and Kip is making funny faces.

Love: Disputable! There was nothing disputable about that win! I won fair and square from that despicable Kong beast! And I did it all on my own, to defend my title and more so as revenge for what she did to Madison and Velvet.

Kip: What about me?

Love: What about you? I don't need you. We don't need you. Quite frankly nobody needs you!

Kip: What! Without me around aren't sh*t! I tried to warn you about Daffney, I tried to protect you from Kong!

Love: Yes you tried and you failed! You are a failure! Girls get him!

Velvet hits Kip from behind with a mirror as Madison sprays hairspray in his face, while Love eggs the other two on. Kip does his best to cover up but is slowly worked to the ground.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RaishaSaeed.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AmazingKong.jpg

Out of left field rescue seems to be on the way tough as Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed attack the BP. Kip James is caught in the middle tough and he seems to be taking a fair share of the pounding. Saeed is screaming all kind of seemingly obscenities in a foreign language while she and Kong are getting the upper hand.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BGJames.jpg

True rescue, for Kip that is, finally comes when BG James arrives and drags him out of the melee. We can clearly see Kip thanking him and apologizing for being such a fool before.

Kong and Saeed meanwhile have left the BP in a heap and leave the scene as Lauren returns in screen and deftly takes back the microphone still in Love's hand and says; "thank you" with a big smile on her face.

Rating: C, Kip James face turn was a success.

Tenay: Good to see the Beautiful People finally get what they deserve! And it seems that the James brothers are getting back on friendly terms.
West: Oh poor Velvet, poor Angelina, poor Madison no one deserves that! especially no one that are that beautiful and pure hearted!
Tenay: Speaking of purity up next its a battle between two pure warrior women as Tara takes on Ayako.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Victoria.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYmScNtpgb4) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AyakoHamada.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MunEaECwGrw)
Victoria vs. Ayako

Nice back and forth match as Ayako shows some Joshi skills and style for the TNA crowd. Tara's greater experience eventually shines through tough as she picks up the win after a Widow's Peak. Tenay did a great job of informing the viewers of Ayako's impressive resume throughout the match.

Winner: Tara
Rating: D+

Tenay: Experience proves the winner but what a display by both women!
West: Has someone checked on the status of the Beautiful people yet?
Tenay: Well Angelina's status as Knockout's champion is in danger facing that kind of competition.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RobertRoode.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JamesStorm.jpg

We cut to the back as we see Robert Roode and James Storm celebrating their win in the 3D tag team invitational with what else but beer and money. All the while bragging about how great they are.

They thank 3D for giving them the money and buy beer with it and also thank them for handing them the belts. They may have lost them in Philly but there is no way they will loose too two old has bins twice in a row.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherRay.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherDevon2.jpg

Team 3D arrive at the scene and Ray tells them that while they might be the tag team of the future, Team 3D is the tag team of today.

He also notes that experience is all important in tag team wrestling and he and his Brother Devon are the most experienced and acclaimed tag team of all time being 21 times tag team champions.

So they have set up a little match with another tag team for Beer Money who will show them what experience is all about. Devon; "Oh my brother, testify!"

Rating: C+

Tenay: And after this commercial brake that match is up next!
West: Oh I wonder who that could be? Not!
Tenay: Oh yeah like you know everything.
West: I know a lot more then you "professor".

The James Gang vs. Beer Money Inc.

The James Gang where first out and looked to be happy to be back together again. Their new found happiness didn't last long tough as Beer Money seemed intent to prove that experience didn't mean a dam thing to them.

They cut the ring in half like experts executing quick tags, double teaming and distracting the referee when necessary. BG James seemed to be in real trouble and it only was only getting worse it seemed. Beer Money's tactics backfired tough as when Storm distracted the referee BG was able to sneak in a vicious low blow.

BG was crawling on all fours towards Kip who was reaching out as far as he could. He made the hot tag just as Storm came in after being tagged by Roode. Kip proceeded to use his power to clean house and seemed to be on rare form. Unfortunately he decided to start showboating again as bad habits die hard.

This allowed Storm to regain his composure and after tagging in Roode they proceeded to double team Kip. After the ref couldn't get Storm to leave the ring BG decided to re enter the fray. He was quickly caught in a DWI though and while both men weren’t legal Storm got the 1,2,3 on BG.

Winner: Beer Money Inc.
Rating: C+

Tenay: What a close fought battle but using underhanded tactics Beer Money got the win.
West: Underhanded? That win was as clear as day.
Tenay: Well what isn't clear as day is Dr. Stevie's motivations surrounding Abyss and this is what he has to say.
West: What isn't clear he is trying to help him!

Richards: Hello Abyss, are you listening? I know you are. Now let’s drop the pretences, I am no “official” doctor. But I am trying to help you Abyss. You see I know what you are going through. I know what they did too you and I want to help you. You are just making it hard on yourself Abyss not following my orders. So I thought I needed a little help and decided to bring back an old friend of mine and yours to help me, help you.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Raven3.jpg

Raven: You see Abyss the darkness that is live permeates the walls of my soul. I know that darkness has a place in your hart and mind as well. You must release that darkness in order to truly be free and to see the light for what it is. To grasp onto the gold that is power, that is control of yourself and freedom of others.

Richards: You see me and Raven here had a whole stack of old belts lying around and we decided to forge them into a new one. All you need to do for a shot at this belt Abyss is accept a match against Raven for Slammiversary. And not any old match Abyss no, no, no it has to be your match, a Monsters Ball match!

He proceeds to take a new belt out of a duffle bag and shows it to the camera.

Raven: All you need to do is accept the darkness and the gold can be yours! Quote the Raven: Nevermore!

We cut to Abyss watching on a monitor tearing at his hair screaming; Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! As he runs away.

Rating: B-

Tenay: Well that was disturbing.
West: To you maybe but to me that made perfect sense.
Tenay: Somehow I don’t find that hard to believe. Well up next is our what we have all been waiting for our main event of the….. what the hell is happening?
West: What is going on!

The camera pans back to reveal Abyss dragging Richards by the hairs to the ring all the while screaming and tearing at his hair.

Tenay: Looks like we got an impromptu match here! Get a ref.
West: No get security!

A ref makes his way to the ring tough and he rings the bell.

Abyss vs. Stevie Richards

No intros to this one as Abyss immediately takes it to Stevie manhandling his so called doctor. Stevie manages to escape his grip tough as he roles outside the ring.

Abyss follows him to the outside while Stevie grabs something from under the ring. It's a chair, but instead of using it on Abyss he tries to hands it too him!
Abyss is having none of it tough as he swats the chair out of the way. Now Stevie is trying to make him use a garbage bin as a weapon. But again no go as Stevie continues backpedalling with "The Monster" in pursuit.

It seems it was all a game plan tough as Stevie makes it into the ring as the ref counts eight. Abyss has only seconds to react and dives into the ring allowing Stevie to get the upper hand. Stevie whales into Abyss with lefts and rights but they seem to have little effect. As he goes for an Enzeguiri Abyss pushes him away in mid air.

It's all Abyss now as he doesn't give Stevie another chance to escape. Just after he celebrates after hitting a Black Hole Slam on Stevie, Raven comes through the crowd and attacks Abyss from behind with a Kendo stick! Causing the ref to call for a DQ.

Raven and Stevie continue to beat down on Abyss with the Kendo stick and Stevie with the belt until they are satisfied and leave. Raven does the spread arms pose and mouths; "Nevermore" before exiting the stage.

Winner: Abyss
Rating: B, Raven attacked Abyss during the match.

Tenay: Oh my what brutality! I hope Abyss is ok after all this.
West: It's called tough love Tenay, tough love and trust me it works.
Tenay: Well pardon me for not trusting you then, well up next its what we have all been waiting for, it's the Main Event as Daniels takes on Sting.
West: I can't wait to see Sting teach Daniels what respect is all about.
Tenay: What you call respect, I call cheating.
West: Whatever just call the match will ya.

Daniels vs. Sting

How can one describe such an epic main event in only so many words. I don’t know but I will try. Daniels seems reinvigorated since returning to his old self and he really brought the best out in Sting.

While Daniels tried to keep the pace up tempo Sting did his best to slow the high speed, high flying Daniels down and use his experience and superior size too his advantage.

The match see sawed back and forth with a lot of chain wrestling, counters and double counters and well timed rest holds in between. It seemed that slowly but surely Sting was wearing Daniels down and getting the upper hand in the match.

Turning point of the match was when Daniels tried to go for the BME ( ,double springboard moonsault,) but Sting was just playing possum and managed to crotch him on the top turnbuckle. He then went up himself going for a top rope Scorpion Death Drop. Daniels miraculously managed to semi counter it by spring boarding off the ropes just as Sting jumped doing a 180 in mid air and wrapping his arm around Sting’s neck in a modified Neck Breaker. (, Kind off like Christain Cage’s one.)

Both men hit the floor hard, but it seemed that Sting had gotten the worst of it. At this point Kurt Angle made his way too ringside and he distracted the referee. As this was happening Booker T snuck up out of nowhere and hit Daniels with a slapjack just as he was getting up.

Booker made his way out of the ring and Angle stopped distracting the ref. At this time Sting crawled, up and not having noticed what happened, proceeded to pin Daniels.

1…

2…

Kick out!!

My god Daniels managed to kick out at the last millisecond! What hart from this fine competitor. The tank seemed empty now tough as Sting got Daniels back up to his feet and this time the Scorpion Death Drop connected without a glitch.

1…

2…

3…

Sting wins! And is the first to qualify for the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary!

Winner: Sting.
Rating: B+, Angle distracted the ref, Booker T attacked Daniels.

Tenay: What a match! Shame about the interference tough.
West: That's not interference that is looking out for your buddies.
Tenay: Talking of buddies it seems Angle and Booker are getting in the ring.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Sting.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KurtAngle.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BookerT.jpg

Angle and Booker T get into the ring and while Sting is getting his hand raised in victory proceed to lay a beat down on Daniels. As Sting turns around, instead of joining in, he starts yelling at them to stop and tries to get them off him.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg

Out from the back storm Joe and AJ looking to save their fellow TNA Original from a further beating. As they enter the ring Sting finally gets Angle and Booker to stop and he makes sure nobody interferes as Joe and AJ take Daniels to the back. He looks a bit out of it but he doesn’t seem to be too hurt or injured.

Sting then asks for a microphone and calls out the rest of the Main Event Mafia.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3JVAXE1Yo8)

Nash and Steiner make their way out with Sharmell, Jenna and MEM security they proceed to walk towards the ring curious as to what the new "godfather" has to say.

And well in a part that somehow survived the fire it's pretty much this promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l56brb4K7D4) but with Sting in ring gear and handing pink slips he got from Cornette to those he removes as he sees them detrimental too the cause of the Mafia the cause of Respect! And proving that the Main Event Mafia is TNA and represents the best of TNA.

Rating: B+

Overall Show Rating: B-, Ok but could and should do better. Dam you Russo for keeping that last part intact, at least I got to tweak it and agreed with the slimming down of the MEM.

You are taken to a dilapidated rural area. It quickly comes apparent that it's Cody Deaner's "training camp" that ODB has set up for him. Some banjo music is playing in the background.

Once again we see Cody use all kind of novel equipment in order to prepare him for life in the six sided ring, while ODB shouts encouragements too him.

As Cody finishes doing his one hundredth oil drum press ODB tells him to stop.

ODB: It's time Deaner.

Deaner: Time for what?

ODB: Time for the "real" test!

Deaner: The real test oh boy, what's that?

ODB: It's time for you to giver to the ODB.

Deaner: Hooweee!

ODB grabs him by the shirt and drags him to a small shack. She closes the door on the camera but we can clearly hear all that is going on inside.

About 5 minutes later pops up on the screen and it is eerily quiet in the shack. ODB comes out all dishelved and tells the cameraman; "he might want to call for some help, oooh!" while she pats her ample chest.

Next shot we see a totally still Deaner being lifted into the back of an Ambulance with a white sheer covering his body and with a slight protrusion around the midsection. ODB walks into the frame with her customary smile.

ODB: Well he gave all he got, but it wasn't enough for the ODB! Bam! As she pats her boobs and butt.

The ambulance then exits the scene as it fades to black. The following text then appears in white:

In Memoriam Cody Deaner.
He gave her all.

As the following song plays. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzK0739QQqQ)

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNA2.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2LcwVHYeZU)

It was the morning after the impromptu "live" Impact. And me and the rest of the creative team where discussing how it all went and what direction we should go in now.

Vince: Well I think it went real great, all the run ins and false finishes really added to the excitement and unpredictability.

Me, under my breath,: Unwatchability you mean.

Vince: What was that?

Me: Nothing, nothing. I just think that while run ins and such are fine we should try and start limiting the amount. Because.....

Vince: No, no way people want excitement, they want twists, turns and fun. That's real total action!

Jarret: Now hear him out Vince! Maybe he has some good reasons for what he is saying.

Me: Eh thanks Jeff, as I was saying some unpredictability and run ins etcetera are fine. But only if they serve a true purpose, either to enhance a storyline or to advance it. Having too many of them takes away from the real action, the in ring action!

Look with the current angle to match ratio we got plenty of time to advance most of the storylines without need for that kind of stuff. I accept we need to be entertaining for the mainstream audience but a nice clean match in and of itself can be entertainment as well.

In the end it is all about the balance and lately my feeling is that the balance has gone too far towards the storylines and less about the in ring action. We got great wrestlers here if not the best in the world but we fail to show it to the people. How are they going to prefer us too our competitors if we fail to do that?

Vince: So you are basically saying go back to 2006, turn back the clock and loose money and have a 0.5 Nielsen rating! Because that is what the situation was before I got back in and look at where we are now! This is all thanks to me. My storylines, my gimmicks, twists, turns and matches! The run ins are a big part of that and people have accepted it its what sets us apart!

Jeff: Now hold on there a god dam minute! While I can't deny the increased success we have had it's not all down to you Vince! A lot of people have poured their blood, sweat and tears not to mention money into this company before, during and after you came around!

Vince: Sorry Jeff I can still get carried away sometimes. It's just things are going so well and then we had the fire and now this guy wants to turn back the clock.

Me: Now that is where you are wrong. I don't want to turn back the clock I just feel we need to find a better balance between the wrestling part and the entertainment part. Right now we are being looked upon as some sort of "WWE lite" instead of being our self, of being TNA, of offering a real alternative!

Jeff: Sounds to me like you want to bring back the old ECW don't you? you already brought in the hardcore belt. What about you Mick feel the same way?

So far Mick had been writing notes ,on what seemed to be upcoming promo ideas, in the back not contributing much.

Mick: ECW yeah! Those where some good times! I remember....

Me: Yes that is the operative word, where! ECW for the most part is gone, dead and buried and the times have moved along with it. I think if the real ECW was still around today it would be a whole lot different then what it was back then. Look a lot of stuff they did in ECW was good but we don't want to ride anyones coat tales. What we need to become is ourselves, we need to become TNA! We need to offer both wrestling as well as entertainment.

Jeff: I can see where you are going with this but it will take some time to adjust the fans, the workers and the guys in the back. We will take more on this in the future. For now just concentrate on the next show.

Vince: But.... Jeff.... you can't be serious!

Jeff: We can at least consider it and think about it, Vince I suggest you do too. Meeting adjourned and till Monday folks.

Mick: Have a nice weekend!

So that was that, the battle lines where becoming more apparent and I had given the starting shot of the direction I wanted things to go. At least it wasn't shot down immediately but let's think about it wasn't exactly promising either. Ah well it's a start.

After the meeting I tried to talk to Mick to actually find out what his ideas where but unfortunately he had already left. Mick is not only a master of economy it seems but also time management as he went straight for his car. Me on the other hand took the opportunity to meet some of the backstage workers and Jeff and the video crew where nice enough to get me a compilation on all our workers.

Back in my hotel room I could finally relax a bit. The journey had begun and I had my foot nudging in the door. And although I knew a lot about the workers in TNA already I decided to watch the extensive tapes the video crew sent me. Too my surprise it included house shows and even training sessions but wrestling as promo. That combined with my own knowledge and Jeff's notes really gave me a chance to make an accurate assessment of the roster.

Just as I had finished it and was looking forward to a nice bath and hopefully unhaunted sleep, the telephone rang. I walked over in my birthday suit and picked it up.

?: Hi it's Dixie.................

Our newest acquisition, we will have to see if he will work well in TNA. Will also be limited in dates due too MMA responsibilities.

Kevin Nash

Overness: B+

Is really winding down his career but "Big Sexy" is still one of the most recognizable wrestlers around and cuts a hell of a promo. Is also a potential problem backstage although not as bad as in his WCW days.

What can one say? Arguably the best wrestler of all time and together with Sting our most prominent non original worker. But who cares he still delivers, should resist urge to always use and main event.

AJ Styles

Overness: SE B-, C-

The Phenomenal one. One of the unbreakable three. Should really become a corner stone of TNA especially as his entertainment skills improve.

One half of the legendary Team 3D, defying the critics and still putting on great matches, but all those tables have taken its toll over time.

The Samoan Submission Machine. Brutal, talented and intense. He, AJ and Daniels should really be the focus on the face side, hell of all of TNA. Now for the rest of creative to see that.

Midcard:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeiHp-VS6nY)
Abyss

Overness: SE C, D

"The Monster" Abyss is "our" premiere big man. Can brawl with the best of them and do hardcore as well. If you like his style his promos aren't bad either. Could use work on the microphone tough although menacing enough not to really need it. Been told by Foley he also helps out creative from time to time.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AlexShelley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2H9YWy-0U)
Alex Shelly

Overness: SE C, D-

One half of the Motor City Machine Guns and one of, if not the most, exciting and fluid tag team at the moment. Despite best efforts to turn them heel continue to be cheered. The more technical of the team.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChrisSabin.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2H9YWy-0U)
Chris Sabin

Overness: SE C, D-

Other half of the Motor City Machine Guns. The more highflying of the two and more accomplished singles competitor being a multi time X- Division champion.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16PkRaRQF7Y)
Daniels

Overness: SE C, D

Having floundered recently in the, while fun, but unsuccessful Curry Man gimmick and substituting KAZ as Suicide. Daniels is now back to his old self. The last part of the unbreakable threesome, he should really be pushed heavier. Despite his advancing age should have a much brighter future ahead of him.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Homicide.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjxxZifRvA)
Homicide

Overness: SE C, D-

Homicide is one half of LAX the now face Latino tag team. He is the fast and speedy one while Hernandez is the bruiser. Now that Hernandez is out with an injury it may be time for him to show what he can do solo in the X- Division.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JamesStorm.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73EQfpwwwQs)
James Storm

Overness: SE C, D

The Cowboy is a real tag team specialist given his success with America's Most Wanted and now Beer Money Inc. Is also underrated as a singles wrestler. One to watch.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JayLethal.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Q6Sj1nVPg)
Jay Lethal

Overness: SE C, D-

"Black Machismo" Is doing a good job with this tribute stick and slowly adding facets too it and making it more his own. Should still have legs but if it gets boring could benefit from a more intense approach. His matches with Sonjay Dutt on ppv and T.V. did well in showing off his talent despite the Russoness of it all. Occasional Tag Team partner of Consequences Creed as Lethal Consequences.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KipJames.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVVNpPyMr9I)
Kip James

Overness: C

One half of the newly reunited James Gang. Was floundering without his partner and works better as a face in my opinion. Glad Jeff agreed and BG agreed to do a bit more matches.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RobertRoode.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP52l-ZL0uQ)
Robert Roode

Overness: SE C, D

Came into TNA via team Canada and after it disbanding went on to have quite the accomplished solo career as a "home grown" heel. Now back in the tag ranks with James Storm as Beer Money Inc. Which since its inception has really garnered interest due to their great feud with Team 3D.

Lower Midcarder:

Eric Young

Overness: SE D+, E+

Showtime has recently turned heel and that may be a catalyst for a push. A very good all round performer with a good work ethic. Has been used as a comedy face for a long time now and done that well. Now let's see how he adapts to a more serious role.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TrevorMurdoch.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL7xy3aYL7w)
Jethro Holliday

Overness: D+

The former Trevor Murdoch tries his best and has a unique appeal but without the more talented Cade I don't really see a future. Even then Cade could be more useful solo. Interesting fact Cade and Murdoch where actually thought up by Vince (, McMahon this time,) as a parody of "our" AMW but got so over he didn't know what to do with them. And Russo wonders why TNA gets the WWE Outcasts stigma. If it was him that brought him in that is.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjP8zSRUAqI)
Matt Morgan

Overness: SE C-, E+

Potential in its rawest form. TNA has done well "rebranding" him and making him our own this time. Need to test if he is ready for the big leagues yet or needs more seasoning. Definite superstar of the future even if we don't push too hard.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/StevieRichards.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kIZeVoRBuU)
Stevie Richards

Overness: D+

Mister underrated and underutilized. I got good ideas where I want to go with him tough. Now to get them through Vince's thick skull.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Suicide.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjGTtN0OMZw) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAX-1.jpg
Suicide

Overness: SE C-, E+

The former KAZ now, finally, under the Suicide mask. Personally they would have been better of putting someone new under the mask or someone who needed a push. Kaz was winning a lot and finally showing more personality before they came up with this. Still some fans seem to like it. Tapping into the gaming audience was also a good idea. But I wouldn't have done it like this.

Opener:

Amazing Red

Overness: SE D-, E+

Took a year off wrestling to heal his knees. Let's hope he still has that high flying ability to wow the crowds. So far it looks good. Needs to work on his general performance skills and ring psychology tough to remove the overly spottiness of some his performances.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ConsequencesCreed.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eeu5SbxkiVA)
Consequences Creed

Overness: SE D, E

Definitely has the potential to become quite a star but in my opinion the Apollo Creed shtick isn't doing him any good and preventing him showing his real personality. Has all the physical tools, drive and the looks he just needs more exposure and experience.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SharkBoy.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkSDgY9Lc_s)
Shark Boy

Overness: SE D-, E+

TNA's resident supreme jobber. Given his in ring skills he deserves more tough, but his age may prevent this. He is performing the Stone Cold Shark routine very well so maybe we can move him into something that is push able. Because having two "tribute" routines on one roster is too much. Got that Vince?! Oh who am I kidding.

Overness: E+

The former Daivari is playing the classic evil sheikh routine with a new twist well. But with so many "home grown" X-Division talents is he really necessary? In his matches so far hasn't convinced he can hang with the best of them.

Enhancement Talent:

Brutus Magnus

Overness: SE F+, F-

After his horrible gladiator gimmick is now really coming into his own as part of the British Invasion with Doug Williams. Williams is an excellent partner for Magnus as he can teach him a lot about wrestling. Has the looks, angle skills and physical ability to go far.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DougWilliams.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFmVcQzyD4)
Doug Williams

Overness: E+, E-

Doug Williams has made numerous appearances for TNA in the past and is now on a lengthier contract. Excellent wrestler with his own unique style. Only time will tell if it will catch on. If not he is still an in ring excellent trainer.

Women's Division: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6zXoJqcHJc)

Angelina Love

Overness: SE D-, E+

One third of and the de facto leader of the Beautiful People. Originally used as a foil for the rest of the Knock Outs representing what they where not about. Has been getting a serious push now though, but is that a wise thing to do?

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AmazingKong.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hs157w67uE)
Awesome Kong

Overness: SE D, E+

She is quite simply awesome as her name implies. Has been booked as an unstoppable monster so far which may not have been the wisest move. As she hasn't even been able to show everything she can do in that role. Conversely by making her look less unstoppable we can possibly make her and the rest of the Knock Outs look more amazing.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AyakoHamada.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MunEaECwGrw)
Ayako Hamada

Overness: F-

One of the best if not the best Joshi around at this time. Can really help strengthen the Knockout division by bringing in her own style. Time will tell if it works out.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Daffney.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEI4hYG6orQ)
Daffney

Overness: SE E+, E

The Scream Queen has been around for a long time now and has decent skills and a unique persona which she plays quite well.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JackieMoore.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvZsdf5xSs)
Jacqueline

Overness: SE D+, D-

Now that Kim is going the knockout that has been with TNA for the longest time. Winding down her career and working more backstage lately after having also been removed as Beer Money's valet. Can still go in the ring though and her name value and experience can be of great use.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AshleyLane.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Be0U1TI00)
Madison Rayne

Overness: SE E, F+

The newest member of the Beautiful People. Don't know if there was need for a third and much like the others more something to look at but not much of a wrestler. Slightly worse to look at and better in the ring though. Also supposed to be a real bitch backstage.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ODB.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2U72k9iySk)
O.D.B.

Overness: SE D-, E+

It's the ODB! Ooooh! Unique look and unique style coupled with decent skills and a good power game makes her a constant attraction and threat.

Raisha Saeed

Overness: D-, E+

Our best female worker stuck under a burka and stupid gimmick. If I have anything to do with it not for long.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Victoria.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsmdh8qOsCo)
Tara

Overness: D

The former Victoria can still go very well in the ring and has good name recognition. Finally fee from the E´s shackles and with a lighter schedule time to see what she can really do.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ShantelleTaylor.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGyL1iLQcLU)
Taylor Wilde

Overness: SE D-, E+

Made quite an impact defeating Awesome Kong two times in a row in the supposed fan challenge. Has decent skills and charisma but needs to find her stride.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TaliaMadison.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Be0U1TI00)
Velvet Sky

Overness: SE D-, E+

The hottest and nicest of the Beautiful People her in ring skills aren't at an equal level unfortunately.

Occasional Wrestlers:

BG James

Overness: SE C, C-

BG James is the other half of the veteran tag team the James Gang. Well known for never taking his shirt off. Now works mainly backstage as an interview road agent. Has agreed to get into the ring more on occasion to work with Kip.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAWorldHeavyweight.jpg
Mick Foley

Overness: A

TNA's executive shareholder and TNA's world champ is still magic on the microphone and if used sparingly can still give a good match. Wish he was more involved on the creative side of things though. The man has a knack for coming out of retirement. I should show him the word in the dictionary some time.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Raven3.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUaE96w3iGI)
Raven

Overness: C-

Before Goth or Emo was cool there was Raven. Very charismatic and an excellent performer. Also has an excellent mind for the business. Too bad he is getting old. But I have plans to even make use of him post retirement. So we can enjoy "Nevermore" for evermore.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ShaneDouglas.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4q45ZK_7dI)
Shane Douglas

Overness: D

The Franchise has unfortunately let the years catch up too him. Still a decent performer though and can always rile up a crowd.

On Screen Talent:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DonWest.jpg
Don West

TNA's colour commentator from day one. Has improved in his new heel persona but might be better fit as a backstage interviewer and shiller,

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeremyBorash.jpg
Jeremy Borash

JB is the main backstage interviewer but also works extensively online and as a ring announcer. Also advices the creative team.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JimCornette.jpg
Jim Cornette

Our resident authority figure and a very outspoken wrestling commentator. Great experience and thought out views. Although I don't always agree with him I do respect him. But with Vince running the show seems to have taken a back seat creatively. Very good on screen persona but kinda caught in the wayside at the moment with Mick coming in and Jeff returning.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/LaurenThompson.jpg
Lauren

Lauren is the female backstage interviewer and is slowly but surely coming into her own and showing some acting skills.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MikeTenay.jpg
Mike Tenay

The professor is a walking wrestling encyclopaedia and veteran play by play man. Should focus more on the in ring action again and calling the moves although with West now heel the banter has improved. Also helps the creative team from time to time.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SoCalVal.jpg
So Cal Val

Still works primarily as a ringside girl but is also starting to work as a backstage interviewer online and on screen. Beautiful and quite talented as shown by her good work in the ridiculous Dutt vs. Lethal redo mega powers storyline.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TerryTaylor.jpg
Terry Taylor

Our main road agent and head of talent relations. He has survived one of the worst gimmicks of all time in the Red Rooster. Need to get to know him better to see what his views and skills are.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Traci.jpg (http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/3330469890_30371aabca.jpg)
Traci Brooks

The Knock Out authority figure her role has been kinda marginalised lately. Let's see if we can do something about that. (OOC: Click picture for bonus.)

Referees:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/EarHebner.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MarkJohnson.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RudyCharles.jpg
Earl Hebnar, Mark "Slick" Johnson, Rudy Charles

Earl is perhaps the best known and most experienced ref around. Slick is very recognizable and talented and Rudy has been the head referee since day one. Would be folly to let any of them go and with Thomas leaving we could actually do with some more.

Injured/Inactive:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ShawnHernandez.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjxxZifRvA)
Hernandez

Overness: SE C, D-

The powerhouse of LAX currently injured with neck nerve damage. Due to the extreme risk operation has not been decided upon. Expected to be back in fifty five days.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Tazz.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1feKeIHfzU)
Tazz

Our biggest puplic secret, likely to start out as Joe's mentor and then transition to the broadcast booth. Unfortunatly due to injury concerns will not be competing in ring. Has fifty three days left on his no compete clause.

Off Air Talent:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DixieCarter.jpg
Dixie Carter

President and CEO of TNA hard to get a feeling of her but she's no McMahon and that is a good thing but also a bad thing.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/VinceRusso.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WLSGojtFnY)
Vince Russo

De Facto head of creative at this moment. Has his bright moments but has a tendency to create more rubbish. Seems to have turned the page as a person, but ya just really can't tell.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TheGrandAvatar.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlYt8tvuB64)
Me

You figure it out hehe.

Tag Teams:

Beer Money Inc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnew_nLtblk): James Storm and Robert Roode

These two both have a great future and complement each other well. Roode may just be superior tough and Storm is a true tag team specialist given his past with AMW.

The James Gang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRAWDfHeops): BG James and Kip James

One of the most experienced and well known tag teams around. Could really help in passing over their knowledge and overness too the younger generation.

L.A.X. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyjxxZifRvA): Homicide and Hernandez

Big guy and small guy with a twist. Seeing as Hernandez can do high flying stuff and Homicide can also brawl. Connect well with the Latino demographic.

Team 3D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhmrBA6l8c): Brother Ray and Brother Devon

True tag team specialists and one off if not the greatest tag team around. Despite advancing age can still put on a good match and give a very good promo.

The Motor City Machine Guns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2H9YWy-0U): Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly

One of the most exciting, talented and fluid tag teams around. Their diminutive size holds them back kayfabe wise, but isn't that dead?

Stables:

The Beautiful People (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Be0U1TI00): Angelina Love, Velvet Skye, Madison Rayne

The antitheses of what the knockouts are about make for an entertaining group. Not bad to look at either except once the bell sounds.

Main Event Mafia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzm5uKDlKw): Sting, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner

The heel group of our most experienced and well known workers. Formed to dominate TNA and that they have. Perhaps too dominating though.

The Frontline????? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz5qp6xrj04): AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniels??, Jarret??, Rhino??, Team 3D??. Jay Lethal??, Consequences Creed??, ODB??, Eric Young??, Chris Sabin??, Alex Shelly??

Seriously what happened here? Are they active or not? Who is and isn't a member? Everybody is off doing their own thing except Daniels, Joe and Styles who are mainly battling the MEM and occasionally Jarret but he has Foley to deal with as well. One big cluster f*ck!

OOC: Up next, the released and what does Dixie want?

Hyde Hill

hope everyone liked it as it took quite some time to put together. If anyone can find better trons for Tara, Daffney, the British Invasion, Abdul Bashir, MEM, Amezing Red and the Jethro one I would be much obliged. I forgot to ad the stables and tag teams with their songs and will do so at a later date. As always any questions or comments very welcome.

Edit: Have also added a cross the line video on the TNA logos and the knockout video on the women's division and could do with an updated one of both.

Edit two: Changed my own theme song think it's more fitting hehe.

The following talent has been released from their contracts effective immediately. We will actively support them as they pursue their career and thank them for the services they have rendered. For now unfortunately for them the action has stopped.

Christy Hemme - Injured for a long time to come and not up to snuff in ring wise and with Rave and Hoyte gone no one to manage.

Cody Deaner, Sal, Rocco, Jesse Neal, Sojourner Bolt - Where deemed surplus to requirements at this time. And to make room for new blood. If they improve or if TNA manages to get a developmental deal they might return.

Rhaka Khan - Her contract runs out in one month and will not be renewed. Due to lack of in ring improvement and backstage problems. Might get a developmental deal in the future.

Sharmell - Has decided to look after Booker's interests in Houston and could only be used as manager for Booker.

Jenna Morasca - Decided that the wrestling business was not for her after all and we agree with her.

Kiyoshi - Was home sick and could not acclimate to US culture and has decided to focus on his career in Japan.

Yujiro + Naito aka Team No Limit - Loan deal with NJPW expired, might return in the future.

Rob Terry - Fell foul of our health policy. If he ever cleans up might return under a developmental deal.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DixieCarter.jpg

Walking into Dixie’s office that morning I couldn’t help but notice how neat and tidy everything was. Almost too neat and tidy as far as I was concerned. Not that it was totally cold and cubicle like but there was a distinct lack of personality to the place. The room seamed to emphasize what wasn’t there instead of what was there. The only real personal features where a picture of her family and a single white rose.

Dixie offered me to take a seat at the other side of the desk in a non-descript though comfortable chair. She slowly walked over to her side of the desk giving me a final moment to collect my thoughts and try to prepare for what ever was coming.

Dixie: Well we are off to a great start aren’t we? Loosing the script up to Bound For Glory and two weeks worth of Impact tapings not to mention having a positive drug test. And all this within the first days of you coming aboard.

Is she implying something? Has she found out? Before I could formulate an answer though she continued.

Dixie: And now there is this. Something that could set us back for years and years. Destroying so much hard work. Seriously jeopardizing the future of this company and every one of its employees.

Me: What is it?

Dixie: Well you remember what happened at Hard Justice 2006?

She gave me a moment to recall my memories and rack my brain before answering.

Me: I remember AJ and Daniels vs. LAX for the tag titles and Joe vs. Brown vs. Rhino and Senshi retaining the X-Division title against Lethal and Petey. What of it?

Well I was glad I remembered that much as it was a while back.

Dixie: Yes that and the main event was Jarret vs. Sting but it is not the actual card that I was referring too.

Me: What then?

Dixie: As you may recall, actually no you didn’t. Well there was another incident of note. The pyrotechnics ignited a burlap sandbag and we had to evacuate the Impact zone for quite a while. Due to this incidence we where forced to give some guarantees.

Me: What kind of guarantees?

Dixie: We had to guarantee that something like that wouldn’t happen again in the near future. For a three year period to be exact or there would be repercussions.

Me: Ok so what does that have to do with anything?

Dixie: Well after the little incident in Jarrett’s office the other day Universal decided that they would enforce the repercussions to the fullest extent.

Me: So what does that mean? We already don’t charge entrance fees so we have to pay for all the repairs or something?

Dixie: No I wish it was that simple. It means that effective immediately our contract with Universal is null and void. The Impact zone is no more. We get to keep those parts that we owned like the ring and entrance ramp but that is it! So you see it’s probably back to the asylum and the lean days for TNA. You guys made a start with the roster cuts but expect a lot more to come, Including backstage.

Me: No wait! This is excellent news!

Dixie, looking surprised,: How is that! All those years of work all for nothing!

Me: No not for nothing! Dixie this just might be the catalyst TNA needed to get to the next level! Look give me one show! One show is all I am asking. Let’s take a chance just this once. Let’s do it like the guys up north and book a stadium and charge admission for the show. Get the marketing team working overtime to inundate the airwaves, the internet the press everything!

Dixie: And how do you plan to do all that on such short notice? We tape on Monday and it is Saturday now.

Me: We move it to Thursday. It won’t be a live show but almost. Something like an hour delay till we can renegotiate our deal with Spike. Look if it doesn’t work out, then we can go back to the asylum and start the cost cutting procedure. Just give it this one shot Dixie please, book it and they will come, market it and they will come.

Dixie, hesitantly,: Ok but let me make one thing clear if this doesn’t work the first roster cut will be backstage and it will be in order of seniority as for working for the company got that?

Me, *gulp*,: Loud and clear.

And with that all my hopes for a quiet weekend where out the door. Hell I would be surprised if I got any sleep till Thursday at all.

OOC: Up next TNA Impact preview. Hope this little chat was a convincing way of now charging people entrance fees and moving out the Impact Zone. Curious if we will run a profit and how large a stadium we can fill.

OOC 2: As you may have noticed I have gotten 2 one star ratings recently. Most people know that the star ratings can't really be trusted around here and personally I don't care, but seeing as I am only just starting and it may scare off potential readers. Anyone who is willing to rectify the situation I would be much obliged too. And thanks go out to those three good folks who have done so this far.

In the second qualifying match for the King of the X Eric Young takes on Consequences Creed. Will Young's new found attitude be of help against the storm that is Creed?

Cornette has promised to give Bashir a hard time and he has a surprise opponent for him. Who will it be and will Bashir be able to overcome him?

In a Queen of the Mountain qualifier Awesome Kong takes on Jacqueline. Can Kong focus on someone else then the Beautiful People and does Jackie still have what it got in the ring?

Team 3D have a bone to grind as they want to take those c*cky Brits that are Williams and Magnus to school. The school of hard knocks that is.

Raven returns to action as he takes on Jethro Holliday in a Texas death match. The name might suggest an advantage for Jethro but Raven can take more then human punishment.

After qualifying for the King of the Mountain match Sting now faces off against "the war machine" Rhino!

And for our main event it is Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Lashley for a spot in the king of the mountain qualifier! Which side is Lashley on and how will he fare making his return to the ring? Joe has faced big and strong opponents in the past and seems more intense then ever but can he overcome someone of the stature of Lashley?

Consequences Creed vs. Eric Young

Have a nice (birth)day!

Location: Foley Field, South East.
Attendance: 5.000 Sell Out!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MikeTenay.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DonWest.jpg
Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West.

Tenay: Welcome everybody too another action packed edition of Impact! As you may have noticed we are not coming from the Impact zone. Due to increased interest in our shows we have been forced to go elsewhere until we can secure a new and larger one.
West: Indeed and I say it is all down to the Main Event Mafia. Who wouldn't want to see such a collection of champions!
Tenay: Can it will ya. First of our executive shareholder has something to say.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY)

Foley comes out and gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He has the title belt draped around his shoulder as he very gingerly makes his way into the ring. He apologises to the crowd for not being there last week saying he had to recover from that intense successful title defence he had at Sacrifice. He plays up the stitches again and now he also has a moderately sprained ankle.

He then comes to the real business why he is out here and that is to address two things. First of he is ticked off that he has to defend his title again at Slammiversary. And in a king of the mountain match of all things! At the same time he got bypassed in the decision on who would participate in the qualifiers. That has made him decide that anyone who does qualify will be tested the following Impact in a match made by him! In order for them to show their worth. What about the last qualifier you ask? Well lets just say he has a surprise for him.

Secondly now that he is both executive shareholder and dominant champion and they are in the stadium of his namesake. He has decided to spread the love. As no one can hate or defeat the dude that is Foley he thinks it is time to solve some of the problems around here and the solution is love! He proceeds to call out Booker, Angle and Sting has he wants to give them some love.

They make their way out wearing suits and with slightly confused looks on their faces and get mainly boos from the crowd. All three of them ask Foley what the hell he is up too and what gives him the right to call them out from the back. He tells them to be patient and asks them to try and feel the love that is in the air. He knows they have had their differences in the past but to set them aside and trust in the love, yeah! Because what he wants to do is bring back peace and harmony in TNA and he thinks that what is needed is a nice group hug. The MEM seem kinda sceptical at that and actually draw away from Foley. Foley then proceeds to tell them that the group isn't complete yet as three more people are needed. He then calls out AJ, Daniels and Joe!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo4AWSy9Bc8) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16PkRaRQF7Y) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOxBrddH8k)

The three most prominent originals make their way to the ring one by one and only enter when all three of them are there. The MEM are now standing on one side with the Originals on the other side of the ring while Foley is in the middle. He urges them on to get together and join in a big hug telling them love will make their woes go away. Slowly but surely they make their way towards each other and for a second there it seems that all will be right in the world once again. Love while a powerful thing isn't strong enough to stop the tension between these two groups though and it quickly turns into an all out brawl with Foley caught in the middle! Foley starts screaming for security and as they flood the ring and separate everyone he reminds Sting that he hasn't told him his opponent yet. He was planning to go easy on him but for breaking the bond of love he now has to face "The War Machine" Rhino!

Rating: B+

Tenay: Wow what a way to kick off Impact! Too bad Foley's plan didn't work. Although it was kinda crazy of him trying to get the Mafia to change it's way.
West: There you go again blaming the Mafia, you saw it they, where up for it. Its those young punks fault as always. Disrespecting the MEM and our venerable shareholder and champion.
Tenay: Venerable isn't the word I would use mad is more like it. And respect is earned not demanded in my book. Anyways up next it is Eric Young versus Consequences Creed for a spot in the King of the X match!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ConsequencesCreed.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eeu5SbxkiVA) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/EricYoung.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OseMf_4plc)
Consequences Creed vs. Eric Young

Another typical X Division match with a lot of fast paced action. Although in this case there was a bit more brawling involved given Creed's boxing background and EY's relative strength. The match was fairly even but it seemed that Young was slowly getting the upper hand using is new found tenacity every time Creed seemed to be on a roll. After a Young avoided a splash from the top rope he started working on the knee of Creed in an effort to slow him down.

The match seemed to be over when Young managed to get Creed into a sharpshooter but Creed refused to give up. Gathering energy from the crowd he slowly managed to get his hands on the ropes and referee Johnson broke the hold. Young was surprised it wasn't over and Creed was still pumped with energy and started a quick barrage of punches on Young. EY went for an eye gauge to stop him but Creed did a split in order to evade it and then came back up with a vicious uppercut.

Creed then set up Young for the Creed DDT but just as he had him on his shoulders. The knee EY had been working on throughout the match buckled. And Creed yelled out in pain. Young took advantage by doing a quick chop block and then hoisting Creed up on his shoulders in turn and finished Creed of with a Death Valley Driver for the 1,2,3. Once again the lights go out and Suicide appears this time standing crouched on the announce table. As the lights go out again he disappears.

Result: Young wins via pin after a Death Valley Driver. Suicide made an appearance.
Rating: C+, very decent for an X match especially given the strong preceding segment.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxP0qB_MQc)

Directly after the match Jeff Jarret makes his way to ringside microphone in hand. He addresses that crowd and says something has been bugging him lately but he couldn't figure out what it was. With all the action that has been going on it seemed he had forgotten something. Last night though he realised what it was. It was two words, one man: Bobby Lashley!

Ever since his appearance at Lockdown and the following Impact he hadn't shown himself or made his intentions clear. He seemed to have some connection with Jarret and the Main Event Mafia though as at both times he appeared they where present. So that is why Jarret was here now, to call out Lashley and ask him what his intentions and more important his affiliations where.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9upxLBoTY)

After a few tense seconds Lashley's music starts and he comes out on the entrance ramp wearing his ring gear. Jarret asks him to come closer and he enters the ring and proceeds to stare down Jarret while Jarret keeps asking him what he wants. Lashley doesn't answer though and just keeps staring at Jarret while flexing his muscles.

Jarret: "Well if you are not going to answer now we will just find out in tonight’s main event as you take on Samoa Joe for a spot in the King of the Mountain match!"

The crowd responds enthusiastically and at the same time Lashley just nods and walks away leaving Jarret alone in the ring.

Rating: B+

Tenay: Well that didn't make anything clearer.
West: I thought it actually spoke volumes.
Tenay: Whatever you say Don, whatever you say. Anyways now it's time for Sheikh Abdul Bashir to prove his worth against a challenger chosen by Cornette.
West: Dam that Cornette picking on the Sheikh like that.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Daivari.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfnlcM5AB6U) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJF0UDbMP8U)
Sheikh Abdul Bashir vs. Salvatore Thomaselli

Cornette joined the commentary team for this one as he was interested to see who would come out on top in this battle. Bashir wasn't at all happy with his presence and made that quite clear.

This match started out evenly with both contestants trying too out cheat the other. Eye gauges where blocked, low blows where countered, naked chokes where responded in kind and hair pulling was kind of a moot point.

As both competitors found out that they where equally versed in the way of the shortcut the match actually became a contest of skill. With Bashir focussing more on high flying and Thomaselli using a more technical and brawling approach. The finish came out of nowhere when Bashir got caught in a vicious Tiger Driver! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q1cxNTa0pU) Bashir wasn't getting up from that much to Cornette's glee.

Result: Salvatore Thomaselli wins via pin after a Tiger Driver.
Rating: D-, about what you would expect with Sal being so unknown.

Tenay: Well what a match that was from the new comer! Hope his brother is around too as they are an awesome tag team!
West: Poor Shiekie hope he is ok.
Tenay: Anyway we have more important things to get too as Nash is about to tell Morgan his next opponent!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg

Backstage Morgan is with Nash in the MEM locker room. Nash is his usual laid back and relaxed self and Morgan is in ring gear jumping on the balls of his feet and looking all intense and menacing.

Nash: "Sorry Matt but your opponent isn't here."

Morgan: "What! I wanted to destroy someone tonight!"

Nash: "Yeah sorry, but he got food poisoning so he couldn't be here. But listen up I got something else you can do for us."

Morgan: "As long as it involves hurting someone I am in!"

Nash: *chuckles* "I thought so. Well listen up then"

Nash whispers something in Morgan's ear we can't hear and we see Morgan intently nodding.

Nash: "Got that?"

Morgan gives a nod and leaves the room.

Nash: "He has all the potential question is does he have the smarts?"

And we leave Nash to his musings.

Rating: B

Tenay: Hmm food poisoning where have I heard that excuse before? And what could those two be up to now?
West: Never mind that, just focus on the next match will ya?
Tenay: Indeed up next its Jacqueline facing off against the one and only Awesome Kong!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JackieMoore.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvZsdf5xSs) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AmazingKong.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hs157w67uE)
Jacqueline vs. Awesome Kong

The crowd didn't really know who to root for in this match but it didn't really matter as they admired the sheer tenacity shown by Jacky for taking the fight to Kong, reminding the crowd why she was a top contender in the early days of the division, and the skill Kong showed in fending her off and eventually picking up the win after an Awesome Bomb.

Result: Awesome Kong wins via pin after an Awesome Bomb.
Rating: D, decent for a women's match given their lack of overness.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AngelWilliams.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AshleyLane.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TaliaMadison.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RaishaSaeed.jpg

All is not well though for Awesome Kong because as we cut to the back we see a three on one attack going on. With the Beautiful People, in very skimpy outfits, wailing on Saeed. They are using all kinds of weapons including hairspray and curling irons even the dreaded lipstick! Saeed seems to be totally defenceless all she can do is scream in pain! When she stops moving the BP take off her head cover and with Saeed's back to the camera they start snipping off parts of her hair!

After a few more well placed kicks to the head and stomach they leave her laying in a heap of blood and hair covered with lipstick and hairspray. They clap each others hands for a job well done and walk off camera.

After a few tense moments paramedics arrive on the scene and immediately put her on a stretcher and bring her to a waiting ambulance.

Rating: C+

Tenay: Oh my, oh my! No one deserves something like that!
West: Well if you live by the scissors you die by the scissors just saying.
Tenay: I don't care what you say that was totally out of line! And don't expect Kong to be happy about that!
West: We aren't afraid of Kong we have a plan all figured out.
Tenay: We as in you and the Beautiful People? That will be the day. Anyways up next it's time for 3D to show what they can do as they take on those meddlesome Brits in this non title match.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherRay.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhmrBA6l8c)http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherDevon2.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhmrBA6l8c) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/NickAldis.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFmVcQzyD4)http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DougWilliams.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFmVcQzyD4)
Team 3D vs. The British Invasion

Not much to say here as 3D was intent on showing why they where the number one tag team in the world today and getting some payback at the same time. Even in the face of such a storm the Brits managed to hold their own at times mainly by distracting the referee and cutting the ring in half and other shortcuts. But without the big man at ringside to back them up it wasn’t as effective as usual.

In the end it wasn't enough as Magnus was caught in the 3D after Williams was knocked off the apron. For a clear one, two, three. Just for good measure Ray asked Devon to get the tables and they proceeded to put both Williams and Magnus through one after which they celebrated with the fans.

Result: Team 3D win via pin after a 3D.
Rating: C-, good given how unknown Williams and Magnus are.

Tenay: Well the Brits got what they deserved for all their meddling. And I have half a suspicion they had something to do with what happened to Neal as well.
West: Give em a break will ya they are just trying to make a name for themselves. Plus they have to adapt to our customs, culture and language.
Tenay: Your language maybe since you have stopped making any sense. Talking of sense its time for someone to get beaten senseless as Raven takes on Jethro in a Texas Death Match!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TrevorMurdoch.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL7xy3aYL7w) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Raven3.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUaE96w3iGI)
Jethro Holliday vs Raven

Jethro came out of the gates like he had something to prove her and took the match to Raven. Raven on the other hand seemed barely interested and didn't do much to counter Jethro's attack. Jethro started getting more and more aggressive with each passing minute going from punches too body slams then taking it outside and using the ring steps and ultimately weapons he found under the ring. All the while Raven just seemed to be taking it in even though he was bleeding profusely one could still detect a sadistic smile on his face.

Just at the moment Jethro went for a shot with a Kendo stick and it seemed Raven could take no more. Raven took the shot but at the same time clasped around the Kendo stick and too it out of Jethro's hands. With a maniacal laugh he began using it on Jethro with straight shots too the head. Jethro was in trouble and he knew it and he went back into the ring.

Raven meanwhile searched under the ring for more tools and threw a chair and a trashcan in the ring while taking a stop sign with him as he rolled back in having discarded the now bloody and broken kendo stick. At the moment Raven wanted to hit Jethro with the stop sign Jethro punched it causing it to hit Raven in the head. Raven just shook it off though while Jethro clenched his hand in pain.

Raven gave Jethro a boot to the gut and set him up for the Evenflow DDT and it connected right through the trash can! Raven wasn't done yet though as he picked up the chair and slammed it on Jethro's face multiple times in a sick canchairto. After the three count the ten count was academic and paramedics rushed too the scene with Raven slumping down in the corner with a smile on his face.

Result: Raven wins via pin followed by ten count after an Evenflow DDT on a trash can followed by a canchairto.
Rating: C, Not as good as Abyss vs. Richards but given Jethro's inexperience in these matches not too bad.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/StevieRichards.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kIZeVoRBuU)

Stevie Richards comes out to the entrance ramp holding a mike. He claps for Jethro and congratulates Jethro for letting loose the violence inside of him and thus becoming one with himself and his surroundings and taking a first step to true sanity. Not like that coward Abyss who skulks behind imaginary girlfriends and is afraid of the truth that lies deep within him in. The truth he needs to find if he wants to become sane again and grab the gold.

WHAM!!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg

Out of nowhere Abyss appears and starts pounding on Stevie. he throws him against the tron and choke slams him onto to floor of the entrance ramp. Screaming all the time and plucking out parts of his hair. While this is going on Raven makes his way up the entrance ramp in an effort to stop him but he is weakened by the match he just had.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Raven3.jpg

Just as Raven starts to get close enough to help Abyss picks Stevie up again and in a massive feat of strength gorilla press slams him at an angle against Raven sending both flying off the entrance ramp and onto the concrete below. Abyss picks up the microphone lying on the ground and he has just one word to say while tearing at his hair and looking down on the carnage below.

Abyss: "I accept!"

Rating: B-

Tenay: Whoa seems that "The Monster" is starting to get back too his old ways.
West: See I told you that Dr. Stevie knew what he was doing.
Tenay: I am not sure that was the intended effect though. But now it is time for some more hard hitting as Sting takes on Rhino!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Rhino.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=errSNcUiWkM) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Sting.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aSud4MnR0)
Rhino vs. Sting

Rhino seems pumped up for this one as he didn't have a fair chance against Sting the last time after being beat up by the rest of the Mafia beforehand. He immediately starts charging Sting and trying to use his superior strength to get the advantage. But Sting is no slouch and he uses his veteran skills to stay one step ahead of the raging beast kind off like a matador against a bull.

Rhino eventually gets a hold of Sting though and proceeds to deliver some devastating looking suplexes and slams. Just as he wants to throw Sting into the corner Sting counters and throws Rhino in it instead and he immediately follows it up with a Stinger splash. He sets himself up in the opposite corner for another splash and runs towards Rhino. Just at that moment Rhino explodes out of the corner. Gore! Gore! Gore!

No! Just at the last millisecond Sting evades it. Instead of getting the full brunt of the impact he is merely scraped. But a mere scrape by a Gore is still devastating. Rhino on the other hand collided fully with referee Charles as he was thrown off course when Sting evaded him and was also lying on the floor.

This opportunity brought out Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner from the Main Event Mafia, trusted lead pipe in hand. While Sting was still recovering from getting semi hit, Steiner entered the ring. Joe, Daniels and AJ made their way to the ring in an effort to stop Steiner but they where too late as he hit Rhino on the back a couple of times with the pipe before trying to hide on the other side of the ring not having noticed the rescue troops. The originals immediately started fighting with Steiner and although he still had the pipe he was severely beat down.

Meanwhile in the ring Sting and the referee had gotten back to their feet and oblivious to what was happening on the outside Sting locked in the Scorpion Deathlock. The extra strain this gave to Rhino's back was unbearable and he was forced to tap out. Sting then noticed what was going on outside and after grabbing his baseball bat and the three backing off as a service for Sting letting them save Daniels last week the match came too an end.

Result: Sting wins via submission using a Scorpion Deathlock, Steiner interfered, Joe, AJ and Daniels tried to stop it.
Rating: B, good.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg

Things aren't over yet though as AJ, Daniels and Joe make their way into the ring and Daniels asks for a microphone. He tells Rhino and 3D and Jarret that they are grateful for all the help they have given so far but that this time this fight is theirs. He also thanks Joe's advisor for helping him get his intensity back by reminding him of his roots but that the face paint and knife are no longer necessary as now that he has it back he doesn't need any props anymore.

With that Joe uses a black towel to remove the face paint from his face and takes the knife out of his pants and throws it away.

Furthermore Daniels notes that it was a mistake to think that the MEM could be overcome by sheer numbers. What was needed was unity and people with the same passion and desire to bring them down and show the world who really represents TNA and what TNA is all about. So for now the fight will be on the shoulders of himself AJ and Joe! They will lead the charge against the MEM they, the unbreakable three, the true TNA originals!

Rhino takes the microphone from Daniels and replies menacingly: "Fine, but for now Steiner is mine!"

Rating: B+, Frontline renamed TNA Originals and now consists of Daniels, AJ and Joe.

Tenay: Wow! What a development and what a night we are having! It is truly all action and the unbreakable three have thrown down the gauntlet!
West: Hmpf, actions speak louder then words Tenay, much louder.
Tenay: Well if it is action you want it is action you will get as our main event is next!

Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Lashley

What a challenge for Lashley as in his first match he goes toe to toe with the Samoan Submission Machine! Both these guys have amazing strength and agility and where not shy in using it. Seeing as a shot at the world title was on the line and Lashley had to prove he could hang with the best TNA had to offer.

Well he certainly proved it her as he went hold for hold with Joe as the action see sawed back and forth with neither man appearing to get a clear advantage.

Lashley also got a chance to show his amateur wrestling background in this one because as the match progressed it became more and more about mat wrestling and submissions as both men started to wear out. Kurt Angle came out to ringside apparently to aide Lashley but he didn't get far as hot on his heels was Jeff Jarret. This caused quite the distraction, Joe took advantage of this by tossing Lashley too the outside.

As Lashley got up he found himself between Angle and Jarret and both stopped fighting each other wondering what Lashley would do. Angle started to get an evil grin on his face and in reaction Jarret lifted up his guitar and prepared to swing. Whack! And the referee calls for the bell! And your winner is Samoa Joe! Because just at the time Jarret wanted to swing Joe made a suicide dive on Lashley and Angle and he got caught in mid air by Jarret!

Jarret is shocked at what he has done and makes his way to the back while Joe, Lahley and Angle or in a heap on the floor as we go too credits.

Result: Samoa Joe wins via dq after being hit with a guitar by Jarret, Angle also got involved.
Rating: B, Hoped for better but good enough.

Show rating: B, that is more like it, less run ins too and a full house to top it off!

OOC the Holliday vs. Raven match I booked days before TNA did so in reality and I think mine is better was funny though to see them do that. Also don't forget to nominate for diaries of the month here: Nominate (http://67.19.230.90/~arles/forum/showthread.php?t=48651)

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNA2.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2LcwVHYeZU)

Backstage at the Foley field the mood was festive. We had managed a packed house and the show had gone done pretty well. While everyone was busy congratulating each other ,and in the case of Russo themselves, something was worrying me. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but something seemed off about tonight’s attendance. Sure the in ring debut of Lashley garnered interest and the marketing team had worked their butts off but still…… A sell out in a five thousand seat stadium was a bit much given that some of the previous ppv’s hadn’t even gotten those kinda numbers. It was like, I don’t know, like being in a different universe all of a sudden. Something like an aniverse or biverse or maybe even c-verse.

Anyways no need to worry too much about that. The most important part was the current success. Dixie even gave a heartwarming speech to everyone backstage before taking the creative team apart. Me, Jarret, Foley and Russo followed her into a side office and she told us she was very happy about today but also warned us not to get complacent. But given the rise in incoming due to increased attendance and the fact they where now paying for their seats she had decided to loosen the reigns a bit as it pertained to hiring new talent. She had already talked to Terry (Taylor) about this and he expected some of our first suggestions in a couple of days while he would also look into who was available and for what price.

All was not good news for me though as she told us that after talking it over with Vince she had decided that hiring managers would be out of the question. Vince seemed adamant about the fact that they averted attention away from the actual talent so there would be a hiring ban on them. Just as I was about to raise my voice in protest Vince cut in and said that this would also reduce the number of run ins and interferences in matches which I was so passionate about. This effectively blackmailed me into agreeing. At least for now….

What was good news though was due to everyone’s festive mood it seemed Jarret and Foley where mainly busy having fun with everyone and with Russo trying to grab as much responsibility for the success in public, while moping about the loss of his “bible” in private and racking his brain about its contents. It seemed I had quite the opportunity in deciding the direction of the upcoming shows. Just as I was contemplating that thought and thinking I would finally be able to get at least some real rest Dixie took me apart.

She basically told me that although the income had increased so had the expenses and as all this was mainly my idea so far it would mean my head if we didn’t run a profit this month. She said all this and all the while her smile didn’t leave her face. Further proof that looks can certainly be deceiving.

And what wait a minute I am a booker not a suit! How can I watch over the bottom-line when I am just a part of the creative team and when someone who isn’t a member is head of talent relations?!

There go my dreams of sleep again……sigh.

OOC Continuing strange mirror of fantasy and reality, first Lashley and Ayako, now Vega and Mantell man this is creepy. Anyways TNA preview up next so stay tuned. As always any questions, comments etc always welcome and hope you liked the first non he said she said backstage bit.

PS Sorry haven’t posted for a while been busy checking out that Naruto fad and got kinda hooked 310 episodes in one week hehe.

In the second to last qualifier for the King of the X match we see two former champions and Frontline members go head to head as “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal takes on Chris Sabin of the Motor City Machine Guns.

It seems Jim Cornette is far from done with the Sheikh as he has another mystery opponent for him lined up this week. Who will it be and will the result be different this time?

These two vixens have had a lot of personal issues lately and on top of that a spot in the Queen of the Mountain match is on the line as Taylor Wilde takes on Daffney.

Beer Money Inc. and Team 3D have a match coming up at Slammiversary and they will be able to lock horns once again but this time in singles action as James Storm takes on Brother Devon. Who will get that all important momentum towards the ppv?

It seems that Nash’s intended challenge for Morgan is still out sick but he has found a suitable replacement from the current roster. Who will Morgan face? Will he be able to continue his quest to prove himself MEM worthy?

Mick Foley has chosen a competitor for the seemingly unstoppable Samoa Joe to face after qualifying for the King of the Mountain match and it is none other then MEM member Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner! What a test of strength this will be as one of the originals squares off against a MEM member!

And in our main event an epic battle will continue as Angle and Jarret face off. Jarret is of course the original King of the Mountain and Angle will do anything for a shot at the gold. These two have had some epic battles and confrontations in the past and now it will all be on the line in this stellar main event!

Quick Picks:

Jay Lethal vs Chris Sabin

Debut vs Sheikh Abdul Bashir
Debut=

Taylor Wilde vs Daffney

Brother Devon vs James Storm

??? vs Matt Morgan
???=

Samoa Joe vs Scott Steiner

Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle

hehe well that was the one available in the database and was best for the product TNA uses. As I am not from the us had no idea what it is normally for or if it was indoor/outdoor etc. As the only info in the database was that it was located in Georgia.

Slam, Bam thank you Mankind!

Location: McKethan Stadium, South East.
Attendance: 5.000 Sell Out!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MikeTenay.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DonWest.jpg
Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West.

Tenay: Hello and welcome everybody to the best wrestling show on earth!
West: Thanks too the Main Event Mafia that is.
Tenay: I don't think everyone shares that opinion Don... The X division is also a big part of it and that is what we start the show with as Jay Lethal and Chris Sabin battle it out for a spot in the King of the X match!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JayLethal.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Q6Sj1nVPg) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChrisSabin.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2H9YWy-0U)
Jay Lethal vs. Chris Sabin

One true action packed match here as both these high flyers and X Division veterans both go all out in order to obtain a spot in the King of the X match and a shot at the gold.

It is not an all out spot fest though as both men have a good arsenal of kicks and slams at their disposal. At the same time both use their remarkable agility to counter and slip out of each others respective moves. Sabin seems to have the advantage tough as he isn't adverse to take any shortcuts in order too win.

In the end though it is this same willingness to cheat that causes Sabin's downfall. After whipping Lethal torso first into a turnbuckle Lethal collapses in the corner. Sabin slowly walks over too him while pandering too the crowd not noticing that what Lethal is doing in the corner.

As he lifts him up by the hair he tries to go for a quick eye gauge. But instead he hits Lethal's glasses! Not having noticed that Lethal had put them on. Sabin's finger is really hurting and this momentary distraction allows Lethal to set him up for the Lethal Combination for the win!

As seems to be the custom lately the lights go out and Suicide appears on the turnbuckle Lethal was slammed into. They go out again and Suicide is gone.

Result: Jay Lethal wins after a Lethal Combination. Suicide made an appearance.
Rating: B-, Nice now that is what I want out of the X-Division apparently helped by decent chemistry.

Tenay: See I told you Don. What a belter of a match that was.
West: Lethal should have been disqualified for using those crazy glasses!
Tenay: Whatever Don. Speaking of crazy it seems our executive shareholder has something to say.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY)

Mick Foley ambles to the ring with the belt once again over his shoulder and microphone in hand and he has a mischievous grin on his face. As he proclaimed last week every qualifier for the King of the Mountain match will get an extra test. And in this case Samoa Joe will face none other then Scott Steiner!

And the fun doesn't stop there oh no indeed it doesn't. It seems a certain "War Machine" has some problems with Scott himself and he has asked Foley for a match against Steiner. Well with Foley not being the kind of man to deny a favour he has decided to grant Rhino's wish and they will face off at Slammiversary! Only he decided to make one little tweak so to speak. Just a slight alteration that is not a big deal really.

He decided to make it his favourite type of match. And seeing as Bra and Panties was out of the question he has made it a Hell in a Cell match!!! Backstage we see the different reactions from the competitors Joe and Rhino both seem psyched up and are slamming and rubbing their fists together menacingly while Scott is throwing a major temper tantrum.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Rhino.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg

Rating: B+, advancing storylines and Mick's craziness.

Tenay: Wow Steiner really has a challenge now first Joe and at Slammiversay Rhino in Hell in a Cell!
West: Poor Steiner, what did he ever do to deserve this?! Foley has it in for him!
Tenay: What did he do? What did he do? Where to start you mean! And now it is time to start our next match as Bashir faces another one of Cornette's hand picked opponents.
West: Another one who is being targeted unfairly!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ClaudioCastagnoli.jpg (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YJEh1DN9H8) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Daivari.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfnlcM5AB6U)
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Sheikh Abdul Bashir

Once again Jim Cornette joins the announce booth and Don West immediately starts pandering towards him. Bashir is out first and is patiently waiting in the ring when a new theme blasts through the stadium and out walks Claudio Castagnoli too a small pop and even some Heeey chants as Tenay rattles off all his accomplishments.

Bashir doesn't know what to make of his opponent but Claudio sure does as he attacks like a man on a mission. What that mission might be is anyone’s guess but right now it is clinically dismantling Bashir with lots of technical and mat wrestling keeping him grounded.

Bashir does get in some offense mainly by using his veteran wiles aka cheating but there is no let up from the offense on Claudio's side and he eventually finishes Bashir off with his patented Ricola Bomb. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqb3Nr0fuGM)

Result: Claudio Castagnoli wins via pin after a Ricola Bomb.
Rating: D+, very good for such an unknown wrestler.

Tenay: What an impressive display by our newcomer!
West: It's unfair! How can Bashir properly prepare against all these great new comers!
Cornette: What did you say?
West: Ehm eh just that the new guys you are bringing in are so dam talented.
Cornette: Thought so. Well my job is done so I will leave you two too it.
West: Thanks boss was a real pleasure having you here.
Tenay + Cornette: Stop it already ya slimeball!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg

We are in the back again in the MEM locker room as Nash tells Morgan that his intended opponent still can't make it but that he has found a suitable replacement Nash is in his Mafia suit and Morgan is in ring gear and is bouncing off the balls of his feet and looking altogether menacing as usual while listening intently.

It is someone that has substituted for Nash before and fought alongside the Mafia but he has now turned their backs on them and their ideals and for that he must be punished. He was glad to except the challenge as he had not forgotten Matt attacking him backstage for no reason a while back and wanted revenge. It is none other then Kip James!

And oh yeah just to make things interesting it will be a no holds barred match!

Rating: B+, hope Morgan will do better in the match this time around quality wise.

Tenay: Hmm I wonder who his opponent will be.
West: Doesn't matter, from what Nash said he deserves a beating!
Tenay: Well it has to wait as now Daffney and Taylor Wilde take their personal animosity too the ring as well as try to qualify for the Queen of the Mountain!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ShantelleTaylor.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGyL1iLQcLU) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Daffney.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEI4hYG6orQ)
Taylor Wilde vs. Daffney

No love lost here between these two ladies as they immediately take it too each other. No frills or silly girly action just straight up wrestling with Wilde's tenacity facing off against Daffney's mean streak. In the end Wilde manages to survive as she counter's Daffney's Lobotomy into the newly dubbed Wilde Ride her usual Bridging German Suplex but now she rolls through vertically locking her opponents feet under her arm pits and her opponents arms under her legs.

Result: Taylor Wilde wins via pin after hitting the Wilde Ride.
Rating: D+, happy enough although with good chemisty expected more.

We immediately head backstage as it seems there is an altercation going on. We can hear screams and a loud ruckus and as the camera arrives at the scene we see all three of the Beautiful People being man handled by Awesome Kong!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AmazingKong.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AngelWilliams.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AshleyLane.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TaliaMadison.jpg

Their clothes are ripped too shreds and they are doing everything they can to cover up while at the same time protect themselves from attack and flee. After Kong delivers Implant Busters on all three she bellows out: "For Saeed!" and leaves the scene with the Beautiful People left knocked out and in tatters.

Rating: C+, Kong gets revenge.

West: Oh no! I hope my girls are ok! And especially their fine impla... ehm I mean curves. I need to go to the back and help them out.
Tenay: Oh no you don't! We have matches to call out here so you are not going anywhere! And this next match will give a good preview of Slammiversary as Storm takes on Devon.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherDevon2.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhmrBA6l8c) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JamesStorm.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73EQfpwwwQs)
Brother Devon vs. James Storm

Both these guys venture into somewhat unknown territory as they are both tag team specialists. It seems Storm has an advantage though as he has a bit more experience in the one on one field. Devon has more experience altogether though and the result is quite the tight affair.

Devon seems intent to use his greater strength to his advantage while Storm is mainly busy getting out of the way and getting in cheap shots. Both workers focus on brawling and when the two do hook up the result is quite the slugfest with neither really gaining an advantage over the other.

Devon eventually manages to overpower Storm though and hits a couple of impressive moves but he quickly runs out of steam. Seeing as he doesn't have his partner to tag out two or to use double team moves with he is forced to take a breather allowing Storm to recuperate.

As the referee checks on Devon asking him if he is ok to recuperate Storm sneaks out of the ring and retrieves a beer bottle from the boozer cruiser. He downs it in one go and seems reinvigorated. Instead of throwing the bottle away he hides it behind his back as he reinters the ring. He proceeds to push the ref away from Devon and while keeping it out of sight of the ref he hits him with the bottle! He immediately follows it up with a Last Call and gets the 1, 2, 3!

Result: James Storm wins via pin after a Last Call and using a foreign object.
Rating: C-, Decent but hoping for more from the tag match.

West: Wow what a win for Storm and it was all down to skill!
Tenay: The skill of cheating you mean.
West: A skill is a skill no matter what you call it or think of it.
Tenay: I could call it a lot of things but not a skill. Well now it's time for Morgan to show his skills as he takes on his next opponent in his quest to become a Main Event Mafia member.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KipJames.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVVNpPyMr9I) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjP8zSRUAqI)
Kip James vs. Matt Morgan
No Holds Barred

Matt Morgan is first too the ring as he awaits his opponent. When Kip James's music hits we can detect a slight smirk on his face as he seems confident that he can beat him. He severely underestimates the strength and experience of Kip though as he seems to have a new drive now that he has been reunited with his brother and is determined to show that he still has what it takes.

In the early going it is Kip James and not Matt Morgan that has the upper hand as James makes good use of the stipulations by using every move in the book against Morgan and being almost his equal in strength Morgan has a hard time off it as he is usually much stronger.

The turning point comes when James hits a low blow on Morgan and hits to ropes in order to hit him with a running Famouser with the intent of finishing the match. It seems Morgan was just playing possum though as he moves out of the way at the last second resulting in Kip landing on his ass. Morgan in turn hits the ropes and while Kip gets up he blasts him with a vicious Carbon Footprint. This time he doesn't take time to showboat and decides to immediately finish things off as he sets James up for the Hellevator, he even skips looking at his wrist as he lifts James up.

But no! James manages to slide out of the back off the move. Morgan is quick to respond tough and gauges James's eyes and throws him in the corner. He follows it up with a big splash and a flurry of elbows in the corner. He then throws James into the middle of the ring by his hair before pulling him up and setting up the Hellevator again. This time it connects and its all over despite a valiant effort. Morgan seems quite put out having had one of his toughest challenges so far.

Result: Matt Morgan wins via pin after hitting the Hellevator.
Rating: D+, Hmm having more and more doubts about the Morgan push.

West: Again a very dominant display by Morgan! Hah what was Nash thinking putting him up against Kip James.
Tenay: Where you watching the same match? Apart from one mistake it was James all the way! Unfortunately one mistake is all it takes here in TNA where the competition is so close.
West: You are right about that except when it comes to the Mafia that is.
Tenay: Speaking of the Mafia it seems we have some people backstage with JB that have some words about that.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeremyBorash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg

JB: "I am backstage here with three of the greatest TNA originals and it seems they have some words for the Mafia and Steiner in particular."

Daniels grabs the microphone as Joe menacingly lurks behind him cracking his knuckles and snarling while AJ is looking as cool as always as he ads to Daniels's words with his body language.

Daniels: "That's right JB. Mafia! You better listen up! Your time of trying to dominate TNA is coming to an end! We are done complaining, whining or fighting amongst ourselves! Me, Joe and AJ us three we are united in one goal and that goal is your downfall! Taking TNA back to where it belongs and to who it belongs! Those that built this company from the ground up! Us three together here united is just the beginning JB, the beginning of the end for the Main Event Mafia!"

Steiner! Tonight we begin with you as you face the almighty wrath that is, the unstoppable, incomparable, “Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe! And oh, Rhino don't worry Joe here will leave a tiny bit left of him just for you.

Daniels hands the microphone back too JB does his Fallen Angle pose and leaves followed by AJ after spreading his arms and lastly Joe who snarls in the microphone and walks off.

JB: "Strong words from the Originals, united and focused at last it seems. I for one am relieved."

Rating: B, Originals showing unity once again and changing the tone of the MEM versus Originals fight.

Tenay: Indeed very strong words and it is good to finally see some unity and strength in the battle against the Mafia.
West: Blah, blah, blah... Heard it all before and it always falls apart and the Mafia reigns supreme just like they should. I will need to see it before I believe it.
Tenay: Well this just might be your chance to see it as Samoa Joe takes on Scott Steiner next!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOxBrddH8k) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qrxEF3j-l8)
Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner

The action here starts fast and furious as Joe really takes it to Steiner out of the gate with stiff chops and low kicks that have Steiner rocking. He throws Steiner into the ropes and Steiner tries to clothesline him but Joe just shrugs it off. Steiner goes to the ropes himself now in a second attempt to get Joe off his feet but he gets snap power slammed for his troubles.

Joe then locks on a modified sleeper hold but is unable to get a full Clutch going as Steiner struggles to resist. Steiner manages to brake free of the hold by poking Joe in his right eye. As Joe is dealing with the pain Steiner is busy shaking off the cobwebs and regaining his composure. He goes for a running clothesline again and again he is unsuccessful in bringing Joe down. Now he decides to grab Joe and he manages a quite spectacular suplex. He then straddles Joe and starts landing punch after punch. Referee Charles tries to get Steiner off of Joe but Steiner isn't relenting. Instead Joe throws Steiner off of him, unfortunately Charles was in the way and gets bowled over.

Joe rubs his right eye and seems to be ok now and restarts his offense on Steiner after suplexing with a head and arm variation Steiner in turn and following it up with a running Senton he picks Steiner up again and throws him in the corner. He then hits him with a corner splash followed up with a jumping twisting enzuigiri leaving Steiner out of it. He then proceeds to haul Scott Steiner up too the top rope in preparation of a Muscle Buster. But Steiner manages to cut it off with a rake of the eyes immediately followed by a vicious low blow.

Steiner quickly makes his way too the outside and grabs something from under the ring. It is his trusty lead pipe! As he rolls into the ring he hits Joe with it on the inside of the leg making him fall too his knees followed by a hit too the back at which Joe falls to the ground. Steiner hasn't noticed though that referee Charles is starting to regain his consciousness as he prepares for his third swing. He hits Samoa Joe in the back again and then locks in the Steiner Recliner using the pipe for extra leverage.

Suddenly out comes Rhino rushing out too the ring trying to prevent further damage on Joe and get revenge on Steiner. Rhino suddenly stops in his tracks though as Joe seems to be waving him away indicating he doesn't need his help. In a miraculous feet of strength Joe powers his way too his feet with Steiner on his back and drops backwards too the floor. He then quickly spins behind Steiner locking in the full Coquina Clutch just as that moment the bell starts ringing though. It seems Charles has fully recovered and upon seeing the pipe and the damage Joe has taken has called for the bell giving Joe the DQ victory. Joe doesn't release the clutch though until Steiner is passed out after which he stands up and spits on Steiner’s body and makes his way out of the ring but in a way that you can see that he is still seriously hurting.

Result: Samoa Joe wins via DQ after Steiner used a foreign object.
Rating: B, Nice happy with that, too early for a straight victory according to some (not me.)

Tenay: What a victory for the Originals! Steiner fought bravely but Joe was just too much for him
West: Hmm a questionable dq victory not much of a victory if you ask me.
Tenay: I am not asking and yes too bad it was by dq but if the bell hadn't rung I am sure it would have been via submission.
West: For Steiner that is.
Tenay: In your dream world that is. Anyways next up is the one you have all been waiting for it is our Main E.... Wait I have just been told that Daniels has something to say so let's take it too him.
West: Daniels? Who ca.....

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg

Daniels: "I am sorry to bother you all again this evening but I just want to take this time to get some stuff of my chest.

First off congratulations to Joe for winning his match against Steiner. Don't say we didn't warn you.... because we did. Second and this is more personal I want to adress my loss too Sting. Sting I have nothing against you personally as you are a hell of a competitor and a true icon. What I do have a problem with is your involvement with the Mafia. But Sting is not the one I want to talk about here.

No it is that "sucka" Booker T! Where do you get off in interfering in my match with Sting? Do you have so little faith in Sting that he can't beat me? While that is a serious possibility I would expect a little more faith from my friends. You see I have so much faith in my friends that I think AJ Styles will beat you for the last spot in King of the Mountain next week.

So that is why I have arranged it with Jeff Jarret that if AJ beats you, no WHEN AJ beats you, that you and I will settle our differences at Slammiversary. So how do you like that "sucka"?"

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BookerT.jpg

We then cut back too Booker's apparently restored locker room and see his reaction and he doesn't seem too happy. Screaming: "Hell no, hell no!" and at the same time kicking stuff around and punching in the air.

Rating: B+, more layers in the MEM against Originals feud.

Tenay: Hmm Booker doesn't seem all that pleased and what was that about Sting?
West: Nah he is just psyched up that's all. That is how he always gets when preparing for a match.
Tenay: Well that match is next week but right now it is time for out main event as Jarret and Angle continue their storied rivalry.
West: Their one sided story in my opinion, with Angle always in the right.
Tenay: Whatever, let's just get too the match.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxP0qB_MQc) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KurtAngle.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiwmRVclrs)
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle

Another classic encounter between these two competitors as their styles really seem to compliment each other and the animosity between them seems legitimate somehow.

Both had a real fire coming into this match which even saw Jarret resorting to some of his classic cheating ways in order to counter Angle's use of the same. Kurt seemed to be getting the better of the affair though as he seemed to be in better shape and somehow even more determined to put Jarret in his place.

Jarret fought valiantly though and even managed to hit Angle with a double underhook facebuster (,which Tenay called correctly this time,) after which he managed to get Angle into the figure four leglock. After some struggling Angle managed to reverse the pressure forcing Jarret to release the hold. Quick as a viper Angle grabbed Jarret's ankle and he locked in the ankle lock.

Jarret struggled too the ropes and he got within touching distance but couldn't quite get there. The crowd started chanting his name urging him forward, this gave him a burst of power and he managed to get too the ropes. After a four count by referee Hebnar Angle released the hold. Jarret slowly got too his feet and realised it was time to go too his old bag of tricks again and racked Angles eyes. He quickly proceeded to set Angle up for The Stroke. But no Angle countered it, seemingly out of sheer instinct, and hit him with the Angle slam. This time he took no chances and he dragged Jarret too the middle of the ring before reapplying the Ankle Lock.

Jarret struggled for all he was worth and seemed to be getting a burst of power again with the crowd chanting his name. But this time Angle reacted by going one step further and synched in the grapevine. Instead of tapping tough Jarret continued to struggle on despite the immense pain he must have been in. Eventually it became too much though and he seemingly passed out. The referee raised his hand one time and it fell down. He raised it for a second time and it fell down again. He raised it for a third time and with the crowd on the edge of their seats and chanting Jarret's name it......

fell down again. Making Hebnar call for the bell and Angle stand up and raise his hands in victory.

Result: Angle wins via submission when Jarret became unresponsive in the grapevine Ankle lock.
Rating: B+, no positive or negative chemistry just two workers who work well together it seems.

Tenay: Wow what a belter of a match! Too bad our valiant founder couldn't quite make it in the end. But Angle has qualified for the King of the Mountain and it seems the king himself won't be in the match!
West: Hah he never had a chance.
Tenay: Well I don't agree with you there, but wait what is going on it seems Angle isn't done as he is signalling for people to come out from the back! What does he have in mind?

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BookerT.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Sting.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzm5uKDlKw)

Out come the other members of the Mafia with Nash, Booker and Steiner in ring clothes with Steiner walking slowly and looking pretty beat up but carrying his trusty lead pipe again. Sting meanwhile is in a suit and as Nash, Booker and Steiner enter the ring he just stands off and watches.

Angle grabs the lead pipe from Steiner and motions him to take a rest which he does in one of the corners. Nash and Booker meanwhile are taking their boots to Jarrett and stomping down on him repeatedly. Angle motions for Nash and Booker to pick Jarrett up between them. Angle then sets up for a mighty swing too Jarret's face with the lead pipe. Just at that second music hits the pa system and Angle freezes and turns around.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY)

Out comes Mick Foley, without his belt or microphone in hand and he rushes towards the ring as fast as he can, so at a normal pace for the rest of the world. He then starts arguing with Angle with Sting still impassively looking on, Steiner in a corner and Nash and Booker holding up Jarrett. Angle suddenly gets a big grin on his face and he hands the pipe to Foley!?

Foley then shakes hands with Angle as he steps away and Foley readies himself to take a swing while Angle indicates to Booker and Nash that it is ok. Just as Foley gets a maf grin on his face and revs up for a full John Daly like swing music hits the pa system again!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9upxLBoTY)

Out comes Bobby Lashley in full ring gear and he sprints towards the ring like a man possessed. As Lashley gets into the ring all action stops and even Sting enters the ring and everyone has their eyes on Lashley wondering what he is going to do.

And then the credits appear, that is all the time we have for tonight folks hope you enjoyed the show!

Rating: A, MEM remains dangerous and what is Lashley up too?

Overall Show Rating: B, Ok, good show especially for a third one leading up to a ppv which is basically a filler show. Less run ins this time but too many foreign objects for my taste.

OOC: Any questions, comments, remarks or anything else more then welcome as always. Especially curious about the Samoa Joe match as that is very close too the format that I will be using for the ppv matches. Also smaller pictures preferable or fine as they are? Up Next is the future with Spike and of the TNA hardcore belt.

After the show I was looking for Jeff as I wanted to give him a piece of my mind for doing that dam double underhook facebuster again. He had promised me not to use it anymore and there he goes and uses it in the main event! In my opinion it is just not done to use other peoples finishing moves when they are so well known. Even tough a certain miss taker had been stealing ours lately and executing them badly at that, it was no excuse.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/EricYoung.jpg

Before I could find him tough Eric Young came up to me and warned me that Steiner was causing quite the sh*tstorm backstage. EY led me too the locker room he used and I could hear the commotion from the outside. I thanked EY and told him I could handle this and after he asked me I was sure and I assured him he left.

*knock, knock*

Steiner: Who the F*ck is it!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg

As I entered I saw that the whole locker-room was turned upside, lockers lying on the floor and even a broken bench. Steiners face was all red and he was sweating all over, Nash was there trying to calm him down but at the same time I noticed by his expression he was quite enjoying the fruckus at the same time.

Me: Nash could you leave me and Steiner alone for a while?

Nash made to leave but before he was out the door Steiner piped up.

Steiner: Why the f*ck does he have to go and who or what gives you the authority to tell him to leave!

Me: I didn't tell him to leave I politely asked him to leave, plus I prefer to talk to you one on one Scott and I think you would prefer it too as I don't want you to make a fool of yourself anymore then you need too.

I politely nodded to Nash and he nodded back and left.

Me: So what has you so worked up that you decided to trash the place? I know you or not on the sauce anymore so what is up?

Steiner: What is up? Me loosing too that freaking fatso Joe is what is up! I am the freaking star of this company and I get made to loose to that loser! That is what I got a problem with! Who the hell booked that crap!

Me: Actually Scott I booked that crap as you put it. And what are you worried about Scott? You can't win everything in this business and you know that, plus your legacy as one of the greatest tag team and single wrestlers ever will always remain intact no matter what you do in the ring. I could have you punching whales or benchpressing bullsharks and it wouldn't matter. It is sh*t like this that is the only thing that can ruin that Scott. You need to start thinking in the long run.

Scott: Yeah whatever man, just watch pulling that kinda crap again or it is you I will be thrashing!

Me: Consider this fair warning Scott next time you pull a stunt like this I won't be so kind. I might even talk about it with Dixie.

Suddenly the door opened

Dixie: Talk to me about what?

Me: Oh nothing very important I was just complementing Scott about the good job he did putting over Joe tonight.

She didn't look at all convinced given the state the locker room was in so I was kinda surprised by her reply.

Dixie: Yeah indeed keep it up Scott.

Steiner *grumbling*: Thanks, was my pleasure miss Carter.

Dixie: Please it is Dixie and actually I was looking for you as I want to talk some things over in the conference room.

Me: Me or Scott?

Dixie: You.

Me: Ok I will come along, just remember what we talked about Scott ok.

He just glared back and started concentrating on putting the locker-room back together. As I left following Dixie, Nash went back in and started helping him out. I was curious how much of that he had overheard and if he felt the same way as me or as Scott.

OOC up next talking with Dixie again, this time about Spike, hardcore belt, the product and other dealings.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DixieCarter.jpg

We both settled down in a small room with a table surrounded by six chairs in what I guessed must have been what she meant with the conference room backstage at McKethan stadium. She took the chair at the head of the table and she indicated the chair opposite for me to sit.

Me: Are any other people joining us?

Dixie: No I already informed them about these developments and they where fine about it, but as this mainly pertains to your ideas I thought it would be best if we discussed this at more length between the two of us.

I was wondering what this could all be about and if I had done anything that could have put my job in jeopardy so I asked nervously.

Me: Ok so what is the matter?

Dixie: First of Spike has sent us two messages. The first concerns making Impact a live show. They have informed us that they do not renegotiate contracts at this time so we have to wait about a month to open negotiations. They do agree with us taping Impact on a Thursday with an hour and a half delay and leaving it uncut so that we can start taping at half past seven in the afternoon which is a good time for people to go out to wherever whe are showing.

Me: Well that is certainly progress especially with our main competitors going PG it gives us an extra edge and way to differentiate ourselves. I would suggest to make the replay PG though giving extra incentive to watch it the first time while at the same time not alienating the younger audience.

Dixie: That is actually a good idea and I will relay that too Spike. Now on too the second part, they are worried about the hardcore belt. While they are the so called male television network they don't want things to get out of hand so not too much blood or weapons etc.

Me: Well that kind of restricts us in our options but as Spike is our main partner at the moment I guess we could make it more off an old school brass knuckles belt if you know what I mean.

Dixie: No not really please explain.

Me: Well in the territory days and mainly in the south you had brass knuckle belts and they where more or less for the tough as nails workers. You know the heavy duty brawlers or actual legitimate fighters. I actually think this could be a good development as it would be a sort of "new" hardcore combining the realism of the past with the current hardcore.

This would translate in mainly no-holds barred type fights which focus on brawling or simple extreme rules fights or other basic no dq matches on Impact while having the more extreme match types on ppv. We could have a press release along the same lines emphasizing the new approach to hardcore while stating true to both the past of hardcore and the past of the brass knuckles, kind of a fusion. This will allow both the brawlers and hardcore workers and even the tougher technical workers so shine in the division while at the same time delivering more and more regular blood and guts then our competitors.

Dixie: I see what you are saying and I think that Spike can agree to that and promoting the belt in that way would actually appeal to both traditional as well as hardcore fans as well as bring in new fans.

Me: Yeah well I am not totally happy with it and would like to go even more risque but seeing as Spike is our main partner at the moment it seems a decent way to go.

Dixie: Ok well that is the main concerns Spike had. Now concerning the product there have been some rumblings about the fact that the main event guys have gotten less screen time in favour of mainly the X-Division, the tag division and the women.

Me: Trust me Dixie there will always be rumblings about how much screen time everyone is getting but we as a creative team are doing our best to keep everybody as happy as possible. And yes those divisions have gotten more attention and that will remain that way if not even some more in the future if I have my way. Look there is no point in out doing the E in being the E. We just need to offer the same they have at a similar level but in a different edgier way and have more then they have.

That is why the X, the women and the tag division and in the future the hardcore division are getting more attention. It is all the E does not have, sure they have tag teams and women but not near to the same level of attention or quality we have. Further setting us apart from the E, we real our fans in by offering the mainstream product and keep them by offering more and being a bit different.

Dixie: I see your point but be careful you don't get carried away, the main event is still our bread and butter and I don't want you upsetting any of them especially as we have come this far in getting people like Kurt and Sting to sign on with us.

Me: I'll do my best.

And I am sure the other people in creative wont let me forget. I was constantly fighting to get them more attention and for now, because of the recent developments, it was going quite well.

Dixie: Now I heard you had some concerns regarding our attendance figures especially as we are only running in the South East. Well I had my Assistant Director in charge of Analysing Market Mechanics or ADAM for short take a look at the situation and he has concluded that having two shows in one area is fine before there is a notable drop in attendance or crowd burn out. Furthermore the difference between our popularity in the South East and the rest of the country is such that it most economically viable to only run shows in the South East for now.

Me: Ok that is an interesting development. Could you ask this ADAM to keep a good look on the figures so that we know when it would become viable to run in other areas?

Hmm considering the crowd burnout we might want to move our ppv’s too the first week on Sundays instead of where they are now till we can run them elsewhere. But that was for another time. Also this should maximize our income being the first to hold a ppv each month*

Dixie: Certainly, and as you mentioned other areas it also seems that apart from bringing in income our house shows will not increase our popularity but only maintain it and that having regular television coverage does the same thing. Furthermore he notes that attendance would not be affected by who actually participates in the house shows.

Me: Well how about this? We run the house shows in those regions where we do not have television coverage and also pull our main stars and older stars out of the house show loop in order to avoid the risk of fatigue or injury. But we don't pull them out completely but rotate them in order to test on in ring chemistry for our big events. I knew there was something strange with this cverse.

Dixie: Cenaverse? What are you babbling about?

Me: Nothing just a weird thought I had one time.

Dixie: Well just watch it with those weird thoughts will ya.

Me: Ok no problem Dixie, so anything else?

Dixie: No that is it....... for now.

Well I was glad that was over and while I was pissed that the hardcore division would have to be toned down I was actually happy with the solution I had come up with. And yeah this is one strange universe sometimes. Now finally I could get back to my hotel and maybe get some sleep at least my job was safe for now.

Jarret: What was it I heard about you not liking me doing that move!!

Oh no wishful thinking again.....

Slam Away!

Location: Russ Chandler Stadium, South East.
Attendance: 5.000 Sell Out!
TV Rating: 1.36

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MikeTenay.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DonWest.jpg
Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West.

Tenay: Welcome everybody to this, the first rough and uncut edition of TNA Impact!
West: And what a wild night it is shaping up to be!
Tenay: And please remember folks if you want your kids or little brothers or sisters to enjoy Impact with you a pg version will be aired on Saturday morning!
West: Make sure they don't miss any of the great action right here in TNA wrestling!
Tenay: And to start us off we have our executive shareholder wanting to say something.
West: Man what has that lunatic have to say? Why hasn't the mafia opened the show like they always did and should do lately?

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY)

Foley comes out to mixed reactions of the crowed and he is looking his usual dishelved selve again. He has the title belt draped over his shoulder again and he strokes it several times during the segment seemingly worried about loosing it and very attached too it.

Foley: Ho, ho, ho everybody and welcome too the first rough and uncut edition of TNA Impact! Now before we start tonight’s festivities I as your world champion have some announcements to make, but let me get this out of the way first. F*CK, SH*T, B*TCH, ASSH*LE, MOTHERF*CKER, hey whatta ya know no bleeps, man that felt good.

Now on to more pressing matters. You all know me as a fair man, someone who rewards his friends and punishes his enemies. Well it seems I have to defend my precious, my beauty of a world title here against four men tomorrow. And I got to thinking that that was a bit unfair, seeing as I have been wrestling my ass off for these last few weeks and giving you all a grand show I thought it would be fair to have at least one less enemy for Slammiversary.

So I decided on a little test, a little tweak if you will for the match involving my greatest enemy tonight. Kurt! You sick son of a b*tch if you are listening, your spot in the King of the Mountain match will be on the line in tonight’s match! And oh yeah the man you will be facing is my kind of man. Just as sane and normal and skilled as me in my prime, none other then "The Monster" Abyss!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KurtAngle.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg

The crowd pops at this announcement and Foley is smiling and stroking his title until it quits down. We cut too the back quickly too the MEM locker room and we see Angle going out his mind and we find Abyss in a dark corner giggling and tearing at his hair in a menacing way. We cut back too the ring and Foley prepares to speak again.

Foley: Now as far as rewarding my friends. I have seen a lot of old extreme buddies and pallies and what not here in TNA and I feel I haven't been able to do enough for them yet. So in my infinite wisdom I thought I would make a little tweak to tomorrows tag team match. If, no when my brothers Ray and Devon beat Beer Money at Slammiversary they have to acknowledge them as the better team and will not be allowed to challenge for the titles as long as 3D holds them, how is that for rewarding old friends! And oh yeah just for a little more fun it will be a tables match!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherDevon2.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherRay.jpg

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JamesStorm.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RobertRoode.jpg

As Foley drops the microphone and head too the back we see team 3D celebrating in the back although at the same time they seem a bit confused as to why Foley would do this despite all the kind words. Then we cut to Beer Money and Storm seems to be choking on his beer and Roode is going mad cursing and yelling.

Rating: B-, More and better heat mainly for the tag teams. Foley getting madder and accentuating the new non PG style.

Tenay: Wow is it me or is Foley slowly going off his rocker?
West: No it isn't you and what a dirty trick to pull on Angle, having to face Abyss! He is well you know.... a Monster!
Tenay: For once I actually agree with you. And that match is later tonight but now is the final qualifier for the King of the X match! And as a special treat former X-Division champion Jay Lethal will be joining us at the broadcast table!
Lethal: Thank you Monsoon, hey there Heenen good to be here! Ooooooooh Yeah Man!
Tenay: Eh thanks I guess anyways lets get to the action!
West: You tell em chimp, ehm chump, ehm Gorilla.
Tenay: Rather a Gorilla then a low down stinking weasel!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SharkBoy.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkSDgY9Lc_s) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AlexShelley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2H9YWy-0U)
Shark Boy vs. Alex Shelly

Shelly and Shark Boy really seemed to gel in this high paced, high flying, high octane affair as they exchanged hold after counter hold and the flashy manoeuvres followed one and other at such a dazzling pace that the crowd seemed to hold their breath. They finally released it with TNA chants everywhere and even the occasional this is awesome.

The chemistry between these two was on full display as they went all out for the last place in the King of the X match. Alas to all good things must come an end and as Shark Boy went for the Chummer Shelly low blowed him out of sight of referee Johnson and hit him with the Sliced Bread to get the one, two, three.

The lights went out again and Suicide appeared this time perched on the announce table. As Lethal made to get up and get at him and Shelly came from ringside the lights went out again and Suicide was gone leaving Lethal and Shelly holding onto each other.

Result: Alex Shelly wins, via pin after a low blow followed by a Sliced Bread.
Rating: B, Whoohoo for chemistry!

Tenay: Wow what a match! Showing you what you can expect from the X-Division!
West: I can’t wait for Slammiversary when Suicide finally gets his come uppins!
Lethal: Ooooh Yeah we are going to send that suited freak Back to the Future and introduce him too the black madness Ooh Yeah man!
West: Aren't you supposed to leave so Cornette can come harass us again?
Tenay: Oh didn't you get the memo? Due to your behaviour last week Cornette thought it might be fun to have a guest commentator each week on Impact. He thought you enjoyed it so much that it was worth following up on.
West: What! What the hell are you talking about? I already have to sit here with you and now each week another coot will be joining us?
Lethal: Watch your mouth weasel Heenen or else the madness will have to be unleashed on you!
Tenay: Yeah watch it!

We leave our bickering broadcast table as we cut to the back too a familiar scene as Nash and Morgan are standing in the MEM locker room.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg

Nash: Well are you ready for the penultimate test?

Morgan: Yeah, yeah who is it?

Nash: Well he has finally recovered from his food poisoning and he is raring to go. And he also shares many qualities with your final opponent. He is a master of the power bomb, he is big, he is strong and he is experienced. He is only not as sexy as your final opponent if you win.

Morgan: So when I beat this guy I get my final opponent and when I beat him I am in?

Nash: If you beat this guy then yeah if you beat your final opponent at Slammiversary you are in the MEM, but be warned your final opponent is Big, Sexy, extremely skilled and sexy to boot.

Morgan: Yeah, yeah whatever just bring in the victim.

Nash: I think you might want to be careful what you say around this guy as he is Vicious. Yo bud come on in.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SidVicious.jpg

the door opens and Sid Vicious enters. Morgan turns around and the two giants have an epic stare down as they size each other up, and that is a lot of size. While Nash is having a chuckle seeing these two big men try to intimidate the other.

Rating: A, Menace rocks and the work so far has paid off.

Tenay: Oh my good it is psycho Sid Vicious what a test for Morgan! And if he can pull this one off I have a good idea who is next opponent is going to be!
West: Oh ya do doo ya why don't you fill me in?
Tenay: Your the one who is supposed to be buddies with the mafia so you are supposed to know.
West: I am, I am just testing you.
Lethal: It is the one who killed the son of Andre man! Oooooh Yeah man its that man, man. Freak Out!
Tenay: Ehm yeah, well now it is time for the Sheikh to face to music again as he takes on another one of Cornette's hand picked opponents and this time it is a former TNA champion!
Lethal: Ooooh who is coming back too the action I can't wait to see yeah!
West: It doesn't matter Bashir will beat him like he always does!

Matt Bentley vs. Sheikh Abdul Bashir

As Bashir awaits his opponent out comes Bentley and he receives a medium pop from the TNA diehards who remember his early days in the X-Division and his work in Serotonin. He had been focusing on his band lately and has agreed to return as long as he could remain working for them and we would use his bands music as his theme music and promote the band.

He seems to have a more confident and c*cky attitude about him, shades of his uncle and mentor in his early days, and this greater self confidence and attitude seems to help him in this battle as the Sheikh seems determined to prove his worth in the ring. His more methodical style is no match for Bentley's all around and especially high flying skills as he picks up the victory here after hitting the Sweet Rock Music superkick followed up by the Lost In Chaos. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHO7VL4Vdj8)

Result: Matt Bentley wins, via pin after a Lost In Chaos.
Rating: D-, meh.

Lethal: Ooooh yeah the Bentley is back and he looks ready to rock and freak the f*ck out yeah!
Tenay: Indeed it was great seeing the former X-Division champ return with such a resounding win.
West: He cheated.
Tenay: How?
West: I don't know, but he did.
Tenay: Ok I have had about e..... wait I hear there is some commotion in the back and it is in the girls locker room?

We cut to the back to a camera in the girls locker room but nothing seems to be happening we can hear screams though and as the camera follows the noise we see that it is coming from the showers!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AngelWilliams.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TaliaMadison.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AshleyLane.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AmazingKong.jpg

The view is partially blocked by the copious amount of steam and water running but we can make out that the Beautiful People are attacking Awesome Kong! It seems that Kong walked in while the Beautiful People where taking a shower and before she had a chance to undress they attacked her!

Kong is taking a hell of a beating as far as we can see as bits and parts of flesh and punches and kicks can be seen through the haze. Suddenly the Beautiful People notice the camera and grabbing towels to cover up they quickly leave the scene. Kong gets back to her feet and growls at the camera man before knocking him out cold. The last shot is the camera on the floor and we can see blood pouring away in a drain.

Rating: C, Keeping the heat up in more ways then one.

West: *Gulp*
Tenay: *Gulp*
Lethal: Freak Out!
Tenay: Ehm, I hope the camera man is ok.
West: Yeah that lucky ehm I mean poor cameraman.
Lethal: Oh those three Elizabeth’s really put a hurting on that Sherri, Yeah!
Tenay: And talking about women hurting one another the returning Cheerleader Melissa against Rhaka Khan is up next and Khan's TNA contract is on the line as well as a Queen of the Ring spot!
West: Hah Khan has nothing to worry about she is a freak of nature after all!
Tenay: I wouldn't say that Melissa has been dubbed a future legend and is a very accomplished female competitor across the globe.

Cheerleader Melissa vs. Rhaka Khan

Khan seems overly confident getting into this match and she isn't prepared for the determined and all out offense from Melissa. She dazzles the crowd as she takes the fight to Khan and seemingly dominates the much larger Khan. Khan gets back into things tough by using some cheap tactics and her greater strength but in the end it is not nearly enough as Melissa puts her away with a vicious Kudo Driver. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSGeHFT_kNE)

Result: Melissa wins, via pin after a Kudo Driver.
Rating: D, good for a semi squash.

Tenay: Wow what an impressive display by Cheerleader Melissa! She certainly seems one to watch for the future!
Lethal: The Freak is Out!
West: Yes lets not forget that Khan has lost her job now.
Lethal: Freak Out!
Tenay: Indeed but Melissa was just too much for her even with her impressive physical abilities.
Lethal: Oooh Yeah, Freaky Sherri is Out!
Tenay: And now it is time to see if Brother Ray can get one back over Robert Roode after Devon lost last week.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BrotherRay.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhmrBA6l8c) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/RobertRoode.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP52l-ZL0uQ)
Brother Ray vs. Robert Roode

Ray and Roode seemingly gel well in this match as they know when to play too the crowd and slow the match down at the right moments and their styles really complement each other.

This is mainly a good old fashioned slobber knocker with a lot of punches and power moves being traded back and forth. Rey has the overall experience edge but Roode is much more comfortable in singles matches and well, he cheats.

Even tough the match is quite short the crowd seems really into it till the end when Ray sets Roode up for a Bubba bomb only to get low blowed and Roode following it up with the Payoff.

Result: Roode wins, via pin after the Payoff.
Rating: C, good chemistry elevates it above Devon and Storm’s match. ooc sorry got my chemistries mixed up

Tenay: That is two and o for Beer Money, they will have all the momentum going into Slammiversary.
West: As well they should.
Lethal: Don't forget they where both close fought matches man! And The Nasty Boys of Team 3D have the greater tag team experience.
Tenay: And it will be a tables match to boot their specialty. And aren't you forgetting something?
Lethal: Oh what?..... oh yeah....... Oooooooh Yeah!
West: Anywhoo while you two prattle on it is time for the battle of the behemoths as "The Blue Print" Matt Morgan takes on "Psycho" Sid Vicious!
Tenay: Hey that is my line!
West: Ya snooze ya loose. Man I can't wait for this match or decide who to root for both are so dam big and strong.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SidVicious.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lob0ZPgFh94) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjP8zSRUAqI)
Sid Vicious vs. Matt Morgan

The crowd could decide who to root for though as they where behind Sid in this encounter given his remarkable recovery from his horrific injury. They loudly booed Morgan as he went straight for Sid's previously injured leg in an attempt to get the advantage. Sid used his veteran savvy to prevent this in the early going though.

This was a real test of strength between these two giants and neither seemed to be able to get the upper hand as both competitors started to realise this it became a war of attrition and it seemed that Vicious would win by using his greater experience. Morgan suddenly realised that power was not the answer as he retaliated by using his greater speed and agility.

After a bit of cat and mouse play by Morgan he managed to get behind Sid and deliver a nasty chop block on Sid's weak leg. As Sid was down on one knee Morgan quickly bounced off the ropes and delivered the Carbon Footprint. Realising that this probably wouldn't be enough Matt Morgan went up too the top rope! Morgan jumped and hit a top rope Leg Drop! 1,2,3 Morgan wins and will have a chance to become a member of the MEM at Slammiversary!

Result: Morgan wins, via pin after a top rope leg drop.
Rating: D+, seems only freaky fans of a certain European company like these kind of matches.

Tenay: What a battle between these two giants! This time speed and youth overcame experience but it could have easily gone the other way.
West: Indeed and I don't think this will be the last we will see of Vicious.
Lethal: Vicious got beaten by... well ehm... Vicious in this epic encounter yeah!
West: Are you ok there Jay?
Lethal: Mind your own beeswax weasel!
Tenay: Speaking of despicable creatures it seems Raven has something to say, so lets get too the back.
West: Who are you calling despi....

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Raven3.jpg

Raven is sitting in a corner on the floor alone and is half covered in darkness, we can barely see his mouth in the light and his eyes are mostly covered by his hair. It all has a very eerie and dark look too it as he begins to speak.

Raven: Well Abyss, here we are at another crossroads of our destiny. And now you dare think that you portray the light? While I know that deep inside you just as inside every man lies a hart of darkness and in your case that hart is bleeding. You have tried to put band aids on them but come Slammiversary I will rip them off one by one and reveal them for what they truly are. Platitudes of an inept society trying to force you in their mould of what is good, what is right what is just what is.......good.

He spits on the floor as if to wash the bad taste out of his mouth before he continues.

Raven: But you know, oh yes you know that you my friend are a white raven. And a white raven will bleed all the more clearly when they are hurt, they will crow all the more fiercely when they feel pain, and their darkness will return when they bleed! And bleed you and I shall together and you will realise that pain and suffering are the only truth in this world and we shall be cleansed and you will be reborn as your true self. The truth of pain shall set you free Abyss and I will be its messenger........... Quote the Raven; Nevermore!

As he raises his arms wide and he starts laughing maniacally as the camera zooms out.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg

We then cut too where Abyss is watching this on a monitor and he is seething! Pulling at his hair, spitting and sweating as he takes the monitor and smashes it on the ground before he leaves.

Rating: C+, Raven underperformed somehow in the eyes of the fans I wonder why.

Tenay: It seems Raven is really getting under the skin of Abyss lately. I can't wait for Slammiversary when these two will duke it out.
Lethal: Man that Raven dude freaks me out man....Freak Out!
West: You and me both brother you and me both.
Lethal: Watch who you be calling brother, man!
Tenay: Well lets just see if Abyss can remain his focus and control as he takes on Kurt Angle and that is next!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeiHp-VS6nY) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KurtAngle.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiwmRVclrs)
Abyss vs. Kurt Angle

This apparent mismatch of styles was actually very good as Abyss seemed to take out his frustrations and demons on Angle and Angle was determined to remain in the King of the Mountain match at all costs. The match had many shades of their epic battle at Turning Point (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTR0u4kV-jw) all tough in this case it wasn't falls count anywhere it didn't stop these competitors taking it too the outside often and inflicting heavy punishment on one another as both men where cut open and started bleeding.

Abyss seemed to be getting the better of Angle in this match as his greater power and his fury really had Angle back paddling. Abyss's offense became wilder and wilder as the match progressed eventually leading to an unintentional ref bump as Angle ducked a wild clothesline from Abyss and he knocked referee Johnson out cold instead. This allowed Angle to bring a chair into play and he started pummelling Abyss with it.

Working through the pain Abyss slowly got up and a stunned Angle saw Abyss punch the chair right out his hands. Abyss then took Angle up on his shoulders and delivered a shock treatment. He signalled to the crowd that it was choke slam time but as he was doing so he was blindsided as both Richards as Raven hit him with Kendo sticks. With Raven going high and Richards going low.

They continued their assault until Angle got up and as he noticed the referee regaining consciousness he ordered them out. He then dragged Abyss to the middle of the ring and applied the Ankle Lock. Abyss still suffering from the attack on his legs had no choice but to tap out. As Angle released the hold and celebrated Abyss got to his feet as quick as he could and hobbled after Raven and Richards who where gloating from the outside of the ring. As they saw him coming they ran away as quick as they could.

Result: Angle wins, via submission after an Ankle Lock. Raven and Richards attacked Abyss
Rating: B+, best match so far! These two are great together even without chemistry.

Tenay: Wow what a match that was! I was sure Abyss had it won till the interference!
West: Nah Angle was just toying with him and saving his strength for Slammiversary!
Lethal: Man that was one mad match man!
Tenay: You can say that again! Let's...
Lethal: Man that was one mad match man, madness Oooooh Yeah!
Tenay: I was gonna say....

But before Tenay can continue we cut to the back as there seems to be something going on there. We hear loud banging and smashing and as the camera arrives at the seen we see two men going toe to toe and using everything at their disposal too hurt each other.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Rhino.jpg

Rhino and Steiner are battling it out in the back! And these two men seem to have been going at it for a while now as both are bleeding and sweating all over. Security rushes to the scene in an attempt to restrain both men but seem to unable to restrain their strength and anger as they continue to clobber away at each other!

Things seem to quite down though as more security arrives and Rhino seems content with the damage he has done and lets himself be led away. In the blink of an eye though he turns around and hits Steiner with a Gore taking down both him and several security members at the same time! Now he is really satisfied and walks away.

Rating: B-, decent rating and good intense backstage fight.

Tenay: Holy mackerel everyone seems to be totally on edge for Slammiversary! It is shaping up to be a night to remember!
West: Indeed Mike it sure is shaping up to become one crazy night you won't want to miss!
Lethal: Madness Yeah!
Tenay: Speaking of mad, Daniels was pissed of that Booker cost him his spot in the King of the Mountain and fellow Original and friend AJ Styles will be looking to even the score and at the same time qualify for that match and that main event is up next!
West: Oh I can't wait Angle, Sting, Booker all working together will definitely bring the gold back where it belongs!
Tenay: We will just have to wait and see Don. I myself remember AJ beating Booker for the Legends belt not to long ago in an epic battle.
Lethal: You got some weird shades on Don it seems as like you watching everything through Mafia eyes! You should borrow mine and really freak out! Go AJ, Go!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo4AWSy9Bc8) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BookerT.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM5w9Az2vps)
AJ Styles vs. Booker T

AJ and Booker really went all out in this contest with both hitting their signature moves which meant a lot of kicks by Booker and high flying by AJ. They even did some nice chain wrestling and counters reminiscent of Booker's earlier days. AJ had the advantage in the early going as Booker screwing over his friend and his rediscovered determination gave an extra edge and focus to his offence.

Booker T turned the tables though in classic heal style and started to hit AJ with kicks from different positions and blatantly choked him when he was on the ground. He threw him in the corner and started a barrage of kicks and punches before throwing him by the hairs to the middle of the ring and mounting him with punches followed by a Spinaroonie.

The end came when Booker kicked AJ in the gut setting him up for the Scissors Kick, as he bounced off the ropes he was suddenly tripped by Daniels! He was hiding under the ring the whole time and it was a classic double cross given his comments last week. Referee Hebner didn't see it and Daniels quickly hid behind the ring again. AJ recovered and as Booker tried to get up he gave him a low enzuigiri to the head and followed it up with a Styles Clash for the one, two, three! AJ is going to the King of the Mountain match and Booker will face Daniels at Slammiversary!

Result: AJ Styles wins, via pin after a Styles Clash. Daniels also interfered.
Rating: B, outshined but still a very good match.

Right after the bell the rest of the MEM, excluding Steiner, came out and immediately attacked AJ and Daniels for his interference as they where furious about being played the way they where.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KurtAngle.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Sting.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzm5uKDlKw)

AJ and Daniels quickly went down to the superior numbers although Sting again remained outside the ring with the commentary team wondering if he was directing the action or didn't want to get his hands dirty or actually not agreeing to the beat down. The dire spot AJ and Daniels where in didn't last long though as a familiar tune hit the pa system.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOxBrddH8k)

Joe came out of the gates at a one hundred miles an hour and entered the fray. AJ and Daniels seemed invigorated by his arrival and it turned into an equal three on three all out brawl. Sting decided to get involved though and the MEM had the numbers advantage again. The Originals put up a brave fight though but the numbers started wearing them down. That is until another song hit the sound system and out came the king of the mountain himself!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxP0qB_MQc)

Jarret came in with his trademark guitar, just as he was about to hit Angle in the back with it he was blocked by Sting's baseball bat and the guitar shattered and the bat spun out of Sting's hand. The brawl evened out again as Nash was fighting with Joe, AJ and Angle where at it, Booker and Daniels where locked up and Sting and Jarret were trading blows. Just then someone else came out and everyone was wondering who would get the advantage. The answer? No one! As out came:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MickFoley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX6SzXPhWhY)

And he started to attack everybody while just laughing out loud and enjoying the general melee. It was total chaos as the fight began escalating and escalating and it seemed that no one would be in any shape to fight at Slammiversary it all quieted down though as another sound filled the whole arena.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9upxLBoTY)

He came out with pyros and all and in full ring gear but he just pointed at it seemed to be Jarret as all the action stopped and we went off the air with West and Tenay plugging the ppv and running through the final card.

Rating: A, whoohoo! ooc kinda cheated as it is more then 8 but this is better storyline wise.

Overall Show Rating: B+, Best show so far although all the cheating wins and multiple interferences and surprises during the last angle where a bit over the top, despite others being distracted I still have a lot of work to do, one consolidation no poles so far!

ooc up next Slammiversary and get to predicting! I am dropping the percentage and second place prize in favour of a ppv prize as that is harder to predict. I will post the full card with preview tomorrow.

Wow what a card Slammiversary is turning out to be! All the qualifiers are now known and multiple grudges and tests need resolving be sure not to miss it!

The show will start with those high octane, high flying X Division wrestlers in a King of the X match*

Next up the Knockout's will show what they are made of in the first ever Queen of the Mountain match*

Matt Morgan will face his final opponent he has to beat in order to become part of the Main Even Mafia and he will have to do so in a cage! Will he be successful against his "Big Sexy Giant Killing" opponent?

And in another chapter of their storied rivalry Beer Money Inc. will challenge team 3D for tag team dominance in 3D's specialty, a tables match!

There is sure to be hell to pay as well as blood and guts as Abyss and Raven are set to take violence to another level in order to not only become the first TNA Hardcore champion but also to settle some "personal differences" to say the least.

Rhino and Steiner have had much grieve between each other on Impact these last few weeks and they are going to settle it in what promises to be a brutal Hell in a Cell match!

Our founder Jeff Jarrett has been wondering out loud where Bobby Lashley's allegiances lie as well as the whole TNAtion and wrestlers. Will Lashley show his true colours in this match or will Jarret have to beat it out of him?

In the semi main event Daniels and Booker T will face off in a battle between the TNA Originals and Main Event Mafia, both men also cost the other a place in the King of the Mountain match to ad even more fuel to the fire!

And in our main event it is the classic King of the Mountain match* with the TNA title on the line! Will Mick Foley be able to retain? Will Angle and Sting be able to work together and overcome their differences in order to return the gold to the Mafia. Will Joe and AJ be on the same page even with the gold on the line or will they be distracted by their hatred for the Mafia instead of trying to win the title?

All these questions and more will be resolved in this epic seventh edition of Slammiversary. Miss it and miss out! Be there or order it on Direct TV and be amazed!

Quick Picks:

King of the X match for the TNA X Division Title: Suicide (c) vs. Jay Lethal vs. Homicide vs. Eric Young vs. Alex Shelly

Queen of the X match for the TNA Knockout's Title: Angelina Love (c) vs. Tara vs. Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong vs. Cheerleader Melissa

Final Morgan challenge in a cage match: ??? vs. Matt Morgan
???=

Tables match for the TNA Tag Team Titles: Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc.

Monsters Ball for the TNA Hardcore Title: Abyss vs. Raven

Hell in a cell grudge match: Rhino vs. Scott Steiner

Loyalty test: Jeff Jarrett vs. Bobby Lashley

Originals vs. Main Event Mafia: Daniels vs. Booker T

King of the Mountain match for the TNA Heavyweight Title: Mick Foley (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sting vs. Kurt Angle

* The King of the Mountain match format has now been changed to be a five way elimination ladder match. The goal is still to hang the title on the hook. The defending champion will start with the title and only the title and ladders are legal to use. There will be an elimination box but it has been enlarged and has two doors to also function as a barrier for people wanting to interfere.

King of the X match for the TNA X Division Title: Suicide (c) vs. Jay Lethal vs. Homicide vs. Eric Young vs. Alex Shelly Homicide is good.

Queen of the X match for the TNA Knockout's Title: Angelina Love (c) vs. Tara vs. Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong vs. Cheerleader Melissa Hot

Final Morgan challenge in a cage match: ??? vs. Matt Morgan
???= Ron "The Truth Killings Would be cool to see.

Tables match for the TNA Tag Team Titles: Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc. Team 3D still has life left in them.

Monsters Ball for the TNA Hardcore Title: Abyss vs. Raven I'd give Abyss a lengthly title run.

Hell in a cell grudge match: Rhino vs. Scott Steiner Strange having the Hell in a Cell match. Steiner is a better all-rounder.

Loyalty test: Jeff Jarrett vs. Bobby Lashley I don't care what anyone says, Jarrett is TNA through and through.

Originals vs. Main Event Mafia: Daniels vs. Booker T Daniels is good but Booker's a legend.

King of the Mountain match for the TNA Heavyweight Title: Mick Foley (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sting vs. Kurt Angle Angle rules.

Strange having the Hell in a Cell match

Well it's actually a six sides of steal with weapons but that is such a damm crappy name and I don't like TNA's habit of changing names of known matches as in changing TLC into Full Metal Mayhem. Lethal Lockdown would be a better name for it but that is generally known to be the team vs. team match at Lockdown. If anyone can think of a better name then please be my guest. Cage Mayhem perhaps?

Ron "The Truth Killings Would be cool to see

Hmm I thought I was pretty clear in the hints I gave so that those that order the ppv know who to expect, plus ???? means someone on the current roster. Plus I am still at Cult and WWE at this moment is hiring not firing.

King of the X match for the TNA X Division Title: Suicide (c) vs. Jay Lethal vs. Homicide vs. Eric Young vs. Alex Shelly

NO SABIN, in that case i would have to vote Shelley. One half of the best tag team in history and a pure born wreslter

Queen of the X match for the TNA Knockout's Title: Angelina Love (c) vs. Tara vs. Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong vs. Cheerleader Melissa

Hard choice here, there isnt a knockout that i disslike in this match. as its a multi person match i would have to go with the ultimate knockout

Final Morgan challenge in a cage match: ??? vs. Matt Morgan
???=

I'm either stupid(no comment) or ur just a good mystery writer. I never guess who is comming. As for the winner, it has to be the geneticaly jacked Matt Morgan

Tables match for the TNA Tag Team Titles: Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc.

HUGE Beer Money fan, Drinking Beer, Spending Money and Kicking Ass... these guys have my dream lol. So Team 3D, Sorry bout ur damn luck

Monsters Ball for the TNA Hardcore Title: Abyss vs. Raven

Abyss is the true hardcore icon of TNA. Raven maybe great but he had his time in ECW

Hell in a cell grudge match: Rhino vs. Scott Steiner

I two power brawlers, not a fan of either and couldnt sit through there match. I would have to go with the younger Rhino in this match

Loyalty test: Jeff Jarrett vs. Bobby Lashley

Lashley is much younger, tallented and dominating than Jarrett. have to give him the win and make him the future :-D

Originals vs. Main Event Mafia: Daniels vs. Booker T

Great to see Daniels Battle a big name. My money is on the true tallent

King of the Mountain match for the TNA Heavyweight Title: Mick Foley (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sting vs. Kurt Angle

This is a great lineup, Im a true and Loyal AJ Fan so i hve to put him as winner.

Due to a threatened legal injunction from another company TNA wrestling has been forced to change the name of the Hell in the Cell match. Seeing as the match will take place inside a locked cage and it will be loaded with weapons and due to the dangerous nature of the match it will know be known as a: Locked and Loaded match!

ooc Working on Slammiversary so get to predicting hehe.

Prediction results month 1:

Finisher: 6/8 - X - X
pate: 6/8 - 7/8 - 4/9 - 7/9
Togg: 5/8 - 6/8 - 5/9 - 7/9
fallout24: 5/8- 6/8 - X - X
Destiny: 4/8- 5/8 - 4/9 - 4/7
jwt13: 3/8- 6+/8* - 5/9 - X
Bigpapa: X - 5/8 -X - 6/7
Angeldelayette: X - 6/8 - X - X
Theheel83: X - X - 6/9 - X

And the win this week is a tie between Pate and Togg as they had all the matches correct! Congratulations! They are also the frontrunners for the overall win.

Ok so I have been changing around with the prizes a bit. I have decided to keep the percentage prize for this month as I had announced it, so for this month only there will be three winners; The overall winner, percentage winner (3 shows minimum) and the ppv winner. In the future there will be just the overall winner and ppv winner plus special prizes for a perfect match prediction score in the form of merchandise.

Now the options for the monthly winners will be:

1. A yes or no question about the mystery booker.

2. Special hints on upcoming debut's/redebut's/????'s

3. A sit-down interview with a member of the roster by either Mike Tenay/Don West or a news writer.

4. Chose the Knockout of the Month for the Knockout Calendar!

5. A link to a classic TNA web match involving a participant of your choice. (If I can find it but I am pretty good at it.)

6. Chose the guest commentator for one week.

7. Merchandise of my choice dammit!

Option’s one and two are only applicable to the overall winner. Option six will have a note to say who the actual commentator was so that one knows that it effected his overness and entertainment stats.

For Pate and Togg for the 100 percent last time around:

This glorious limited edition secret special T-Shirt of the greatest person to ever grace wrestling if not god's green earth (at least he thinks so.)

Jay Lethal vs. Homicide vs. Alex Shelly vs. Eric Young vs. Suicide(c)
King of the X match, for the TNA X-Division Title.
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAX-1.jpg

After Lethal, Young, Shelly and Homicide make their entrances by going through the double doors of the elimination cage ,which is sheer on the side of the entrance and a grid on the ringside and wider and longer then the original penalty box in order to cover the whole entrance, the lights go out and Suicide's theme plays. As the light's go back on Suicide appears on top of the already set up ladder in the middle of the ring holding the title belt. After he points his fingers to his head in the gun motion he jumps down from the ladder and the cage doors are locked and the bell is rung.

At first all five competitors are unsure who to attack and are waiting on who will make the first move, before long Lethal and Shelly attack Suicide and Young and Homicide start battling it out. EY and Homicide are battling over possession of the ladder and Suicide takes a beating from the double team. After Suicide is dropped to the floor the belt he was holding drops between Shelly and Lethal and after looking at each other they quickly exchange attacks.

The pace these competitors are setting is blistering and the action is hard to follow as the fight is taken to the outside of the ring as well, more ladders are introduced and we see shifting alliances, every time someone seems to gain the upper hand someone else seems to recover and takes him out with one of his signature moves.

The first to be eliminated is Homicide after being double teamed by Shelly and Young, Young hits him with an Atomic Drop which Shelly follows up with a Sliced Bread using a standing ladder which Young follows up in turn with a splash from the top turnbuckle for the 1, 2, 3. It seemed Homicides inexperience in singles action cost him here but he put up a brave fight.

With Homicide out of the way the two faces and heels square off against each other with Suicide going after Shelly and Lethal and Young battling it out. Suicide manages to get the upper hand on Shelly and after hitting the chinlock bulldog on a ladder propped up in the corner he follows it up by running up the ladder and hitting a Moonsault. Shelly in an amazing efforts manages to kick out just before the ref hits the mat for the third time. Suicide then poses to the crowd giving the suicide sign and then hits Shelly with the Suicide Solution for the pin and Shelly is eliminated.

In the meantime Young and Lethal have been battling it out with neither opponent being able to get the upper hand. Young seems more vicious and determined then ever since turning heel and is using the full arsenal of heel moves to keep himself in the match. The battle is so fierce that when Young tries to get a breather by going up on top of the elimination cage Lethal follows him up and they start battling on top! Young manages to get the upper hand after an eye gouge and he throws Lethal down of the cage! Right on top of Shelly and Suicide and referee Johnson, as Shelly refused to go into the cage and Suicide was "helping" him get in.

With everyone down on the floor EY poses to the crowd on top of the cage, in the meantime Suicide is the first to get up and as Young spots him he does a Moonsault off of the cage onto Suicide! The crowd is going wild as they can't believe the risks these wrestlers are taking! Everybody is on the floor and out of it! Referee Johnson manages to get Shelly into the cage and as he does so Lethal uses the cage door to drag himself up. He spots Young and Suicide still lying on the floor and he drags EY up by his hair. Young swings at Lethal but gets caught, Lethal combination! But the second part of the combination sees EY's face hit the ring apron with Lethal's back suffering the same fate. Suicide manages to drag himself up and roll Young into the ring and drape an arm on him for the pin.

It is now down to Lethal and Suicide and both men have taken a lot of punishment. Lethal slowly gets up on the outside and gets into the ring, at the same time Suicide has gotten to his feet and a stare down ensues between the two babyfaces, they look at each other then both look up to where the belt has to go. Then they look around for the belt but it is nowhere to be seen! Realising that the first to find the belt will have a major advantage they both start looking for it, with the crowd shouting encouragements on where to find it. After scanning the whole ring they both go to the outside with Lethal choosing the camera side and Suicide the other. They both go to the right side of the ring and meet up realising neither man has found it they double back in a mad sprint. They come face to face again on the left side of the ring with the belt lying on the ground in between both men.

The start to exchange punches on the outside of the ring, Lethal whips Suicide into the steel ring steps but Suicide manages the jump on top of them and in a smooth motion hits Lethal with a crossbody on the outside. Suicide then picks up the belt and slowly gets into the ring and after setting up a tall ladder in the middle proceeds to climb up on the right side. The time needed to do this has allowed Lethal to recover though and he gets into the ring and climbs the ladder on the other side. They both reach the top at the same time and start punching and kicking each other. Suicide falls of the ladder in a sick bumb but he takes the belt with him. Lethal realises this and he proceeds to stand on top of the ladder Corkscrew Elbow Drop on Suicide from the top of the ladder! As referee Johnson counts the one two three the crowd realize Lethal is the only man left!

Lethal slowly gets up and picks up the belt while Suicide is put in the elimination cage, where Young and Shelly have lain out Homicide and are awaiting his entrance. Lethal slowly but surely gets up the ladder rung by rung with the crowd egging him on each step. He finally reaches the top and in a final effort hangs the belt on the hook before he collapses exhausted on top of the ladder! The crowd screaming their approval and shouts of "That was awesome" filling the arena!

Result: Jay Lethal wins, after being the final contestant after eliminating Suicide via a Corkscrew Elbow Drop of the top of the ladder. The order of elimination was Homicide, Shelly, Young, Suicide.
Rating: B-, happy with that and the X guys went all the way for a great opener as I hoped.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AlexShelley.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/EricYoung.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Suicide.jpg

The action isn't done yet though as it seems Young and Shelly have taken it upon themselves to try and unmask Suicide, and with him locked inside the cage there doesn't seem to be anywhere for him to go! With Young holding Suicide's arms behind his back Shelly grabs a hold of his mask and tries to get it off. He seems to be succeeding and the mask is going up as the crowd holds it's breath.....

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Kaz.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1GFqEk1EVM)

It's Kaz! Kaz has made his return to TNA! He rushes towards the cage but he can't get in.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Homicide.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JayLethal.jpg

His return has distracted Young and Shelly though and has allowed Suicide to escape and Homicide has regained consciousness. They are now battling inside the cage! Lethal meanwhile has regained his breath and after getting his belt he also takes the key off of the referee and joins the fight inside the cage, after being unsure which side to chose he decides he does want to see who is under the mask and it turns into a three against two. Just then another theme hits and out comes.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16PkRaRQF7Y)

He had been accused of being Suicide in the past by the Guns and Lethal Consequences and now decides to try and help Suicide in his time of need. He realizes he can't get into the cage so he signals to the back and out comes.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxP0qB_MQc)

He is in his street clothes holding his guitar in one hand and a key in the other, he rushes to the cage door and opens it allowing him, Daniels and Kaz to enter the fray. Jarret immediately hits Young with a guitar shot and Lethal and Shelly back off of Suicide now that they are so outnumbered. Kaz and Daniels support Suicide out of the cage and once he is outside the arena lights go out again, when they go back on Suicide is gone, leaving all bewildered! Smarks, marks and wrestlers alike.

Rating: C+, who is Suicide??

West: Wow, just wow, what a match, Lethal is champ again and what a surprise return!
Tenay: For once I agree with you Don. I am simply speechless.
West: Well then let me speak for you, up next we have Angelina Love showing the world she is the premiere Knockout!
Tenay: She has some very stiff competition Don and the rest of the Beautiful People won't be able to interfere this time.

Tara vs. Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong vs. Cheerleader Melissa vs. Angelina Love(c)
Queen of the Mountain match, for the TNA Knockout's Title.
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAWomens.jpg

As soon as the bell rings all the women go after the reigning champion Angelina Love because of all the animosity she has built up over time. She immediately makes a run for it and while running away she is screaming and pointing at Kong. It seems she is pointing out it would be smart to take her out first while there are still four of them. Eventually the other Knockouts realise she has a point and they attack Kong. She manages to fend of the four competitors for quite a while but in the end the numbers are too much for her and after getting hit with a succession of signature and finishing moves she is pinned with all four other knockout's keeping her down.

This is the end of Angelina's luck though as the other three competitors Focus their attention on her. She tries to recruit Melissa on her side but she is having none of it and decides to take a breather while Wilde and Tara make short work of Love. One Widow's Peak later and Love is out of the competition. Meaning there will be a new Knockout champ tonight!

It is down to the last three and Melissa seems to be the freshest of the three opponents as the action rocks back and forth with switching alliances and one on one action when the third is temporarily taken out. Melissa capitalizes on having more energy and while Tara is on the outside she manages to hit the Kudo Driver on Wilde and she is eliminated leaving Melissa and Tara.

Tara and Melissa really go after each other neither budging an inch and laying into each other with vicious shots, kicks and slams with the advantage see sawing back and forth. Melissa still has a bit more energy though and she manages to throw Tara to the outside which she follows up with a suicide dive. Tara seems out of it and as Melissa gets back on her feet she looks for the belt and after she finds it she starts climbing the ladder.

Tara has gotten up though and follows her up on the same side. She manages to grab a hold of Melissa and she turns around on the ladder. Widow's Peak off the ladder! Melissa is in serious pain and Tara quickly grabs the belt and ascends the ladder. Melissa makes a desperate lunge for Tara but is comes up just short as Tara hangs the belt and becomes the new Knockout champion!

Result: Tara wins, after a Widow's Peak of the ladder on Melissa. Order of elimination was Awesome Kong, Angelina Love, Taylor Wilde.
Rating: D+, better then the overness of the Knockout's so a good match.

Tenay: What a blistering fight from the Knockout's and Tara is your new champion! She really seems overcome with emotion and it is a well deserved victory for the veteran.
West: Yeah whatever.
Tenay: Oh come on you are just sulking because your girl Angelina couldn't win without any outside help!
West: They where ganging up on her!
Tenay: After she suggested to do the same to Kong plus Angelina deserved it!
West: Wait I hear we are going to the Main Event Mafia locker room.
Tenay: Don't change the subject on me you son of a......

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MattMorgan.jpg

In what has become a familiar scene over the last few weeks Kevin Nash and Matt Morgan are backstage in the Main Event Mafia locker room. There is one change however as Nash is in his ring gear instead of a suit or the Mafia sports jacket.

Morgan: So who is my final opponent?

Nash: Well like I told you he is big, he is sexy, he is a giant killer, he is the master of the powerbomb, he is cagy and a real veteran.

Morgan: Oh man I can't wait to defeat this guy!

As Morgan says this Nash gets up and stares him in the face.

Nash: That guy as you say isn't so easily defeated. Because that guy is none other then me!

Morgan looks shocked for a moment but quickly regains his composure as the two big men stare at each other for a few moments before Morgan leaves.

Rating: B, par for the course for these two, hope the match is as good.

Kevin Nash vs. Matt Morgan
Cage Match, if Morgan wins he is in the MEM.

The crowd can't really decide who to get behind in this match. The older WCW marks get behind Nash while most people rally behind the younger up and coming Morgan given his recent impressive displays.

Tenay and the ring announcer explain that the cage door is locked and that it can not be used as a means of escape as TNA management finds that the easy way out.

The crowd remained restless throughout the match though as Nash and Morgan's timing seems to be all over the place. The lack of selling was expected with these two big men as it fits their personas but somehow the crowd never got into the fight between these two behemoths.

The ending did get the crowds attention though as in a miraculous feet of strength Morgan managed to Powerbomb Nash against the cage wall only for it to break and Nash falling to the floor much to Morgan's chagrin as Nash was proclaimed the winner.

Result: Nash wins, after being Powerbombed through the cage to the outside.
Rating: D, there was a lack of selling but worst of all a there was awful chemistry between these two which we couldn't pick up on as Nash doesn't do house shows. Given Morgan's results so far I am really reconsidering his push.

West: Too bad for Morgan that was quite an impressive display.
Tenay: Well either way the Mafia hasn't gotten stronger and that is a good thing as Nash took quite an amount of punishment in that match and was lucky to get the win.
West: Luck nothing that was veteran wiles.
Tenay: Whatever.

We don't let the crowd dwell too long on the previous match as a great highlights package is show hyping the nights main event, highlighting the matches and angles that have led up to the match and all the history between the five competitors.

Rating: A, cheap well timed pop and a great job by our video crew.

Mike: Wow that main event really promises to be something. The type of action only TNA provides.
West: Indeed and I am betting the Mafia will rule that action.
Tenay: I'll take that bet as I would love for the originals to win and to take some of your money. Speaking of money our tag team title match is up next where Team 3D take on Beer Money Inc. in a tables match.

Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc.
Tables Match, for the TNA Tag Team Title.
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNATagTeam.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNATagTeam.jpg

Team 3D and Beer Money make their entrances boozer cruiser with the boozer cruiser in effect as Tenay explains the rules of a tables match for those unfamiliar with the concept and runs down the tag lines and history between these two teams.

The match starts of slow and as a regular tag team match with Team 3D controlling the early action using their superior power to hit some nice power moves and using quick tags to keep fresh. Beer Money manages to turn the tables on Ray though using some heel tactics (, cheating,) and manages to isolate Ray in their corner. They are distracting the referee, utilizing blind tags and any other form of cheating to keep Ray from tagging in Devon.

Devon is just chomping at the bits for the hot tag but it never comes, even when Ray manages to hit Storm with a Bubba Bomb and gets close Roode just enters the ring and prevents the tag as Storm distracts the referee. That is the last straw for Devon and he decides to enter the fray regardless. All hell starts breaking loose as Devon and Roode start exchanging blows and Ray and Storm start battling. They take it to the outside and it just escalates from there turning into an all out brawl all around the arena with the crowd screaming their approval.

Team 3D manages to get the better of Beer Money in this wild environment utilizing every part of the arena, chairs and even soda's given by the fans. As they return to ring referee Charles manages to get some control and it is Roode facing of against Ray. All four wrestlers are cut due to the wild brawl on the outside and are really battling on sheer will power. Ray tags in Devon and he goes to the top for the What's Up but Storm manages to push him off. 3D are irate but quickly regain their composure as Ray slaps Devon's chest with both hands. One, Two, Three : "Get the tables!".

As Devon proceeds to get a table from under the ring and sets it up, Storm is drinking some liquid courage out of the boozer cruiser. After the table is set up and a successful What's up Team 3D set up to deliver the 3D on Roode through the table. Ray whips Roode into the ropes.....

Crash! As Roode smashes Devon from behind with a beer bottle, he then leaps off the table and hits a dropkick to the back of the head of Ray. After helping Roode regain his composure they hit Ray with the Beer Money suplex, but Devon has managed to move the table in last ditch effort while lying on the floor. After doing the Beer Money chant Roode kicks Devon out of the ring while Storm gets Ray up in a Powerbomb position. DWI through the table! And Beer Money are your new tag team champions!

Result: Beer Money win, after a DWI on Ray through the table.
Rating: C+, now that’s more like it from the tag division.

Tenay: Wow what a brutal match! And Team 3D defeated at their own speciality! Beer Money really is a team for the future, despite their cheating ways.
West: What cheating? And forget the future they are simply the best today!
Tenay: Well they are now holding the most prestigious tag team titles in wrestling so you got a point there Don.
West: See you would do well to listen to me more, it would save you a lot of heartache.
Tenay: Listening to you gives me a headache more like it. But what is really going to ache is watching the next match as Abyss takes on Raven in a Monster's Ball to crown the first TNA Hardcore champion. Oh man I hope I can stand to watch!
West: Don't worry Mikey I am here for ya.
Tenay: You........

Abyss vs. Raven
Monster's Ball, for the TNA Hardcore Title.
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAharcore.jpg

Abyss is the first to make his entrance and he is carrying two black bags one in each hand but not only that he has his old trademark chain wrapped around his neck as well and has reverted back to his black outfit! Raven comes out with a shopping trolley filled with a stop sign and a garbage can filled with kendo sticks, crutches and assorted junk.

Abyss places the bags in a corner and wraps the steel chain around his right hand while Raven enters the ring with the stop sign and a kendo stick. As referee Korderas rings the bell the brutality immediately starts as Raven hit Abyss with the kendo stick. Instead of trying to dodge it Abyss raises his left arm and takes the shot on it. While Abyss is shaking away the pain Raven picks up the stop sign and goes for a head shot. This time Abyss punches right at it with his right hand wrapped in the chain and sends the sign straight into Raven's face knocking him down.

Raven rolls to the outside of the ring and starts rummaging in his trash can but Abyss is in hot pursuit. Raven hits Abyss with a trash can lid bringing the big man down to one knee but Abyss shoves the trolley right into Raven sending both him and the trolley down with the contents spilling on the floor. The match steadily gets more brutal from here and it doesn't take long for both men to be bleeding profusely. Raven and Abyss are really playing of off each other well and the crowd is really getting into it as the violence slowly escalates and the advantage see saws back and forth. The whole ring area and contents of the cart are used as weapons including a staple gun which Raven uses to great effect on Abyss.

Abyss manages to hang Raven on the ring post though using his chain and this gives him time to set up a table in the middle of the ring and he sprinkles the contents of his bags on top of them and as expected they contained glass and tacks! As he is doing this Stevie Richards makes his way to ringside and frees Raven from his prone position. Seeing his former doctor sends Abyss into a frenzy and he immediately sets after him and Richards tries to get away. Just before the tunnel to the backstage Abyss manages to grab a hold of him and Stevie starts pleading to Abyss. No use though as Abyss chokeslams him off the entrance ramp onto a pile of equipment below!

He goes back to Raven who still seems to be out of it. Raven was playing possum though and as Abyss gets close he gets low blowed. Raven uses the last of his strength to hit Abyss's head on the ring steps and then get him in the ring and he grabs the chain of off the floor and returns to the ring as well. Abyss has gotten back on one knee though and as Raven swings the chain to his head Abyss catches it in mid air! He then uses it to pull Raven towards him as he gets up. Black Hole Slam through the table with glass and tacks! Abyss drapes an arm on Raven and thankfully for both men Korderas counts the one, two, three. Abyss is your first TNA Hardcore champion!

Result: Abyss via pin, after a Black Hole Slam through a table with glass and tacks.
Rating: B, Abyss and Raven had good chemistry and are both excellent Hardcore wrestlers.

West: Can I look now?
Tenay: Yeah it is over.
West: So Raven won?
Tenay: Ehmm no he put up a brave fight but Abyss was just too much for him.
West: I told you Stevie's therapy was working!
Tenay: There is just no way you can lose is there?
West: No because I am always right.
Tenay: Well let's see if you are right about the Mafia this time as Steiner is set to take on "The War Machine" Rhino in a Locked and Loaded match!

Hyde Hill

Rhino vs. Scott Steiner
Locked and Loaded

After both competitors had made their entrances the cage roof was lowered and hanging from it was an assortment of weapons, mainly chairs, a lead pipe, a baseball bat and even a table. The competitors needed to climb up a bit in order to reach them though.

This match as expected was all about who was the more powerful competitor and started with a test of strength. As Rhino seemed to be winning Steiner kicked him in the gut and got the early advantage. Throwing him into the ropes and clotheslining him and following it up with some wicked suplexes. With Rhino seemingly unable to resist he threw him against the cage wall but Rhino managed to hang onto the wall and climb up and grab a chair.

Steiner immediately reacted by going to the opposite side and tried to get a weapon of his own but he was too late as Rhino hit him in the back multiple times with the chair. Now it was Steiner’s turn to be on the brunt of some suplexes and a spinebuster onto the chair scored Rhino a near fall. Rhino decided that more drastic measures where needed and he proceeded to get the table from the top of the cage. This took quite some time though and allowed Steiner to recover and with Rhino setting up the table in a corner Steiner managed to grab his trusty lead pipe from the top of the cage.

As Rhino turned around Steiner managed to hit him with the pipe on his shoulder and Rhino went down on one knee. As Steiner gloated to the fans and started insulting Rhino, Rhino found a last reserve of strength as he grabbed Steiner by the waist and pushed him all the way to the opposite corner. The impact forcing Steiner to let go of the pipe. Rhino mounted the turnbuckle and after ten punches with the crowd counting along he whipped Steiner to the opposite corner where the table was positioned. Steiner managed to halt himself just before crashing into the table but as he turned around he was hit by the Gore! Gore! Gore! Right through the table giving Rhino the hard fought victory.

Result: Rhino wins via pin, after a Gore through a table.
Rating: C+, as expected there was a lack of selling and psychology but still a decent match.

Mike: Wow that was one hellacious match Don and Rhino proves once again why he is called “The War Machine”!
Don: Why are you always living in the past Mike better to look to the future, the future being Bobby Lashley!
Mike: You are just pissed that your boy Steiner lost due to his showboating and Rhino’s greater intestinal fortitude. But you are right that Bobby Lashley versus Jeff Jarrett is up next. The question being if Lashley will show his true colors tonight?

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg

Before we get to the match though we see Lashley preparing backstage in his dressing room and he is looking intense and focused. As he makes his way out of his dressing room various staff make way for him as he walks towards the ring not wanting to get into the way of such a fearsome sight. That is until suddenly someone walks into view and bumps into Lashley! With neither man speaking a word the camera quickly pans around in an effort to see who it could be that has the guts to not be intimidated by Lashley. A somewhat familiar face comes into view and as the camera gets better focus Tenay speaks for us all.

Mike: Is that? Yes it is! He is here!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MontyBrown.jpg

Mike: “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown is here! And he doesn’t look intimidated one bit! Is he back with TNA? And if he is, what are his intentions?

An epic staredown ensues with neither man backing down one inch as we cut back to the main arena.

Rating: B, welcome back Monty?!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxP0qB_MQc) http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9upxLBoTY)
Jeff Jarret vs. Bobby Lashley

Jeff Jarrett comes out first but uncharacteristically without his guitar. It seems he wants this to be a straight up fight and doesn’t want to be tempted. An even more pissed looking Lashley makes his entrance with the pyro showering him from both sides. When both men are in the ring Jarret seems to have a few words for Lashley but he just calmly stares back at him unfazed.

As referee Hebnar starts the match Lashley is quick out of the starting blocks and tries for a quick takedown but Jarret manages to sidestep him. The match quickly turns into a game of cat and mouse with both competitors alternating in the roles. Jarret is continuously shouting at Lashley asking what his intentions are but Lashley remains cool and collected leading to him getting the upper hand. Jarret feels the force that is Lashley as he hits power move after power move and does several shoulder blocks in the corner. He follows this up by whipping Jarrett into the ropes and gets a snap powerslam for a two count.

Jarrett realizes that he has to dig into his bag of tricks to get the advantage and an eye gouge later he starts hitting Lashley with some vicious chops. He even manages to body slam Lashley down in the middle of the ring and he follows it up by locking in the figure four. Jarret had been working on Lashley’s legs throughout the match and Lashley is screaming in pain. He manages to dig down deep though and in an impressive feat of strength manages to power himself inch by inch towards the ropes.

Jarrett holds on for the full four count before releasing the hold and referee Hebnar orders Jarret away from Lashley as he is clutching his right leg in agony and could be injured. With the referee distracted out comes Booker T with Jarrett’s own guitar! With Jarrett and Hebnar focused on the possibly injured Lashley and Hebnar blocking Lashley’s view none of them see Booker T winding up from the apron and blasting Jarret with the guitar and quickly hiding behind the ring apron.

Lashley seems to recover at this point and is seemingly shocked to see Jarrett lying on the floor. This doesn’t stop him to take advantage though as he goes for the pin.

One..

Two..

No! Jarrett gets his shoulder up in a last ditch effort. Lashley can’t believe it but is quick to drag Jarrett to his feet and he sets him up for the Dominator. It connects and this time Jarrett isn’t getting up.

Booker starts applauding Lashley for his victory as he makes his way to the back in order to prepare for his next match but Lashley isn’t letting on one bit what he feels about the entire situation.

Result: Bobby Lashley wins, via pin after a Dominator we also saw Booker T attack Jarrett.
Rating: A, wow now that was unexpected, no chemistry either Jarrett still has "it" so to speak and Lashley is doing better then expected.

Mike: So the founder was hit with his own guitar but as it seems we are nowhere closer to finding out where Lashley stands.
Don: Things aren’t always as they seem Mike, no they are not.
Mike: Stop being so cryptic Don! And too bad Booker T had to ruin what was turning out to be a great match. Hopefully Daniels can get some revenge for our founder as that match is now!

Daniels vs. Booker T

This is a great semi-mainevent as Daniels and Booker are more then a match for one another. Booker makes the mistake of underestimating Daniels in the early goings of the match and he pays dearly for it as Daniels shows a great all around game hitting him with both power and speed leaving Booker on the back foot. Daniels seems to have become the gel that has brought the revamped originals together and he is doing everything in his power to drive home the point that the originals are what made TNA and that they are what TNA is all about.

Although Booker manages to get the advantage some of the time, via cheating, the match is mainly Daniels’s as he doesn’t let anything faze him as he keeps up a relentless pace that leaves the crowd enthralled and chanting “Fallen Angel!” louder and louder. After an impressive flurry of offense Daniels makes the mistake of posing for the crowd though giving Booker a chance to get back in the match.

Booker starts to work on Daniels with his trademark array of kicks and it seems that Daniels’s fire has finally been quenched. After spinning heel kick by Booker he is so confident that he even takes the time to perform a Spin-a-Roonie. He then picks up Daniels by the head and hits the Book End and goes for the pin. Referee Patrick starts the count.

1..

2...

Kick out!

Daniels just won’t quite and Booker is in shock that he hasn’t won! Daniels seems to gain a second wind and he and Booker start exchanging chops. Daniels throws Booker into the ropes and after a snap STO he signals for the BME. He hits it but only gets a two count! Daniels prepares to finish Booker T off now as he sets him up for the Angel Wings but he gets low blowed for his troubles. Booker quickly bounces off the ropes and hits the Scissor’s kick on Daniels. He goes for the pin and puts his feet on the ropes outside of the view of referee Patrick and gets a three count just before Daniels manages to kick out.

Result: Booker T wins, via pin with the feet on the ropes after a Scissors Kick preceded by a low blow.
Rating: B, Good match possibly overshadowed by the previous one.

Don: What a victory for the Mafia! And Booker shows everyone what the Main Event Mafia is all about!
Mike: Yeah they are about cheating.
Don: I would call it doing everything it takes in order to win.
Mike: Well we shall see if your precious mafia can win this one as it is time for our main event!

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sting vs. Kurt Angle vs. Mick Foley(c)
King of the Mountain match, for the TNA World Heavyweight Title.
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNAWorldHeavyweight.jpg

As the bell rings Foley quickly makes his way to the outside and points Joe towards Angle and AJ towards Sting. The four do decide to square off given that the hatred between the MEM and Originals is at such a high level that they decide to ignore Mick for a while. The action between both pairings see saws back and forth with neither gaining a distinct advantage.

At any point where it seems that one competitor does get the upper hand Foley is quick to re enter the ring and deliver a shot with the belt to equal things up again. Tenay figures that Foley is doing this so that all four other competitors wear one another out while he takes it easy. After a while of this going on Sting, Angle, Joe and AJ have finally had enough of Foley interfering and taking it easy and a temporary truce is called. Foley is shocked as all four men proceed to go after him but he is caught by a suicide dive from AJ spring boarding off the back of Joe. All four men continue to clobber into Foley and after an Angle Slam a Scorpion Death drop and finally a Muscle Buster Foley is the first to be eliminated.

The pairings now switch as AJ goes after Angle and Joe goes for Sting. Joe manages to overpower Sting and throws him to the outside. He dives after him knocking Sting against the barricade and then throws Sting into the ring steps. He then takes Sting’s head and slams it against the steps a couple of times drawing blood and knocking Sting out cold. As he looks in the ring AJ seems to be in trouble as Angle is working him over with European uppercuts and various suplexes. He leaves Sting and goes to help his buddy.

As Joe approaches Angle leaves AJ lying in the corner and walks towards Joe. He gets an evil grin on his face and after pointing towards AJ he extends his hand to Joe. Joe contemplates for a while and the crowd don’t understand what is happening. Joe shakes Angles hand and gives him a hug as the crowd roars its disapproval and AJ stares on in disbelief. Angle then motions for Joe to attack AJ and Joe picks him up in the corner. He sets AJ up for the Muscle Buster as Angle is looking on in apparent glee. But as AJ is up top Joe suddenly releases the Muscle Buster and AJ jumps over Joe hitting Angle with a high elevation flying fore arm which Joe follows up hitting Angle with a running senton. Joe and AJ proceed to shake hands and double team Angle. Angle is still in shock at the double cross and is in no way capable of fending off both AJ and Joe. He puts up a brave fight despite the odds though but after a slew of nice double team moves and finally a Styles Clash Angle is next to be eliminated.

This seemingly leaves AJ and Joe in the ring and after shaking hands for a second time the fan favourites and best friends go at it with all they have got. Both men know each others moves instinctively and counters and reversals follow each other in quick succession. AJ has the greater speed and tries to use that to his advantage while Joe uses his superior strength and tries to keep AJ grounded in a series of submission moves. The crowd start chanting both their names, “this is awesome” and shouting out TNA after each offensive foray.

Joe’s greater strength and tactic of attacking AJ’s legs seems to pay of as after a snap powerslam he has AJ locked in the Coquina Clutch in the middle of the ring. AJ in a desperate effort manages to gain some room and gets his foot on the ropes forcing Joe to break the hold which he immediately does. He then throws AJ into the corner and he follows it up with a jumping twisting enzuigiri and for the second time sets AJ up for the Muscle Buster. Wham! He gets hit from behind with a belt shot right to the head by Sting. Who after regaining consciousness went to look for the belt and waited for an opportune time to strike.

He then tosses Joe to the outside of the ring and Joe lands hard on his back. Sting then gets up top with AJ and after a valiant battle on the top of the rope he manages to superplex him to the floor. Sting then set’s up the ladder again which had been used as a weapon throughout the match and proceeds to climb the left hand side belt in hand. AJ meanwhile is stirring again and he sees Sting climbing the ladder and he uses his quickness to overtake him as he goes up the right hand side. As Sting gets to the top AJ is there waiting for him and the two start a slugfest on the top of the ladder both struggling to get the belt in their sole possession and at the same time punishing their opponent. AJ seems to be winning as with his greater agility he manages to use his legs as well as his feet.

Smash! Samoa Joe has re entered the ring and he has speared the ladder!

Grasp, one of the competitors up top manages to grab the cord the hook for the belt was on.

Wham! the other falls to the floor as the ladder tumbles.

Ding, ding, ding!

Sting wins! Sting wins! He managed to grab the cord and remain in possession of the belt and hang it on the hook while AJ fell to the ground. Joe just inadvertently cost him the possible victory!

Result: Sting wins, order of elimination was Mick Foley and then Kurt Angle.
Rating: B+, good main event.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BookerT.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/KevinNash.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzm5uKDlKw)

The rest of the Main Event Mafia join in the celebrations while Kurt is eying Sting with a jealous look in his eyes. He then decides that for now he can't do anything about it and joins in on the celebrations. The party is cut short though as music hits the pa system and out comes:

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/BobbyLashley.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l9upxLBoTY)

He slowly makes his way to the ring and all the mafia members warily eye ball him as he proceeds to enter the ring. He is still in his wrestling gear and is showing no emotion so no one is quite sure what he is about to do.

He charges forward towards Kurt Angle! But stops just short as Angle gets a grin on his faces followed by the rest of the Mafia and Angle and Lashley hug! Sting seems taken aback at this latest development but as Lashley joins in on congratulating him with his title win that is quickly forgotten as the cameras fade out with the Mafia seemingly stronger then ever!

Rating: A, Making Lashley official and celebrating the new champ and a strong ending to the ppv.

Show Rating: B+, great show and apart from the Morgan vs. Nash stinker everything delivered on or above expectations.

OOC Up next prizes! Pre and then post Slammiversary discussions and fallout. Hope you enjoyed to show, would love any comments as it is my first ppv. For instance would you have paid 30 bucks to see it? Did you mind or liked the fact it was in two parts? Etc. Etc.

Good PPV. I quite like that you made it feel bigger than the normal show - its a PPV, so it should! If TNA managed to do their pay per views like that, I might actually consider spending money on them. Didn't mind having it posted in two parts, especialy since you got them both up fairly quickly.

Was kinda hoping to see Raven take the hardcore belt, but seeing Lashley join up with the Mafia makes up for it. That should make for some fun.

Yeah well I booked all this before he had declared sides. And what is a major ppv without a suprise or two or in this case three with Monty returning, Kaz not being Suicide and Lashley siding with the mafia and the Joe double turn. Hope you liked it. Plus I really feel that the Originals so be the flag bearers in the assault on the mafia and well Lashley ain't one of those hehe.

I liked that Lashley joined the Mafia for the simple fact that it is separate from reality. Well, that, and I think it will make some interesting stories, potentially. Honestly, I don't see the point in doing a diary if you are to keep things direct to reality. Its that line between keeping the promotion feeling like TNA, yet doing things how you would prefer to see them. I like how HH is doing with that so far.

For the grand slam Pate get's to chose 3! PM me or post here pate. The PPV proved to be a real headscratcher especially because of all the 5 way matches.

1. A yes or no question about the mystery booker.

2. Special hints on upcoming debut's/redebut's/????'s

3. A sit-down interview with a member of the roster by either Mike Tenay/Don West or a news writer.

4. Chose the Knockout of the Month for the Knockout Calendar!

5. A link to a classic TNA web match involving a participant of your choice. (If I can find it but I am pretty good at it.)

6. Chose the guest commentator for one week.

7. Merchandise of my choice dammit!

Option’s one and two are only applicable to the overall winner. Option six will have a note to say who the actual commentator was so that one knows that it effected his overness and entertainment stats.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TheGrandAvatar.jpg

As I walked into the makeshift meeting room we had hired I was still feeling the effects of the hectic month I had had. On top of that with Slammiversary around the corner the nightmares had been worse then ever. Not only was the turn continuing to play in my head I kept having visions of pole matches for some reason. Luckily the meeting room was in the hotel I was staying in and I didn't have far to walk. This gave me some extra time in the morning to drink a lot of coffee and take a long hot shower before collecting my thoughts. I took a deep breath as I got to the doors and prepared myself mentally for the meeting with Mick, Jeff and especially Vince.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/JeffJarrett.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/VinceRusso.jpg

Unfortunately Mick wasn't there, although he wasn't as active as I had hoped on the creative side he was the closest thing I had to an ally and now I was stuck with Vince and Jeff. Jeff explained to me that Mick wouldn't be joining us as he was mentally and physically preparing for his match. As I sat down to the right of Vince and across from Jeff and laid out my papers Vince started the meeting.

Vince: Ok let's keep this quick shall we. It is quite simple I don't think the Mafia is dominant enough yet and seeing as Steiner and Booker have lost a match we need them to sweep the board and then go after all the titles.

Jeff: That sounds ok by me so long as I don't lose my match. So what's left? Ok the women, well Angelina and Velvet are hot so let's have her retain. Raven is here short term so Abyss wins and for the X division let's have Suicide retain using some cool high spot or by using his "powers", then they try to unmask him again and the lights go out and bam! He is gone!

Vince: Yeah that sounds ok also lets have some run ins in the cage matches and the new style King of the Mountain as no one would expect that. Also I remembered that I thought it would be a good idea to have someone join the Mafia at this time further strengthening them and giving them someone to go after the X- Division title. I was thinking Daniels but as he isn't in the main event it should be either Joe or AJ, AJ would be a bigger surprise but I think he works better as a sympathy babyface so lets have Joe do it.

Jeff: Well that is settled then, now for card placement I want to be the semi main event with the King of the Mountain match as the main event of course. Let's start with Daniels and Booker and the rest we can decide on the fly.

Vince: Ok good well I got to get to church so I think we are done here. Any Objections? No, ok nice working with you two as always.

Me: Objection!!!!!!!!!

Dammit it seemed that Vinny Ru and Double J knew Foley wasn't coming so they thought they could just get everything by me. I had a sneaking suspicion that they had connived this whole thing together beforehand, but lacking proof I just had to do my best to convince Vince and Jarrett that while some of the things they suggested had merit it wasn't the way to go. Time to be as persuasive as I had ever been and to put the knowledge I had gained on how to handle Jeff and Vince over this short month to use.

OOC up next convincing connivers.

A special thanks goes to BigPapa and Eisenverse for the nominations. Also pate has chosen his prizes so get ready for an interview with one of your favourite TNA stars and a guest commentator of his choice. Also in the wake of her Visa problems Angelina Love will be the first Knockout of the Month and her "calendar photo’s" will be up.

Sorry I haven't been active lately but had been contemplating shutting this diary down. Mainly because what has actually been happening in TNA is now so far removed from the direction I was going to be taking it plus Slammiversary took a lot out of me. Instead I decided that the story I am planning on telling is more important that what has happened in the "real" world etc. So this will be continuing so look for updates soon as I refocus and thanks for all the support so far.

The rest of the meeting was kind of a blur with me doing my best to convince Vince and Jarret of the fact that the focus should be on the resurgence of the Originals while still keeping the MEM strong. I managed to convince them that Lashley would be a better fit for the MEM so Joe/AJ/Morgan would not be joining.

For the rest I was making little headway despite me arguing very strongly that to one had to book long term and not short term. That to be predictable wasn't wrong as long as it was done well and that one should not shock just for the sake of shocking. Needless to say I wasn't getting very far with these two without Mick in my corner. Although I wasn't sure he would be that involved anyway.

The turning point came when I caught up with Jeff when he went to the bathroom leaving Vince alone for a minute.

Jeff: What's up slapnuts? Wanna hold it for me or something?

Me: Cut the theatrics Jeff we are not in the ring.

Jeff: So what is up?

Me: Well I got two words for ya...

Jeff: Suck It! Hahaha.

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/TNA2.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2LcwVHYeZU)

I was whistling and smiling for the first time in more then a month. Why you ask? Well despite all the recent signings and increased advertising and production costs and being forced to leave the Impact Zone we had still made a profit so it seemed I had job security.

Also thanks to two words I had spoken to Jeff I had been able to avert the catastrophe that had been playing on my mind. Unfortunately I was under no illusion that I now held Jeff under my sway or that I had even made a dent in with my arguments in the mind of that c*cksucking scumbag they call Russo. So I still had to be wary he wouldn't pull any other tricks out of that deluded mind of his.

Slammiversary itself had gone down well it seemed with the IWC not being as critical as normal but still lambasting us for not having all the new or young or original guys win. What else is new? The marks seemed to love it and that is what matters most in the end. Also, apart from Scott Steiner of course, all the workers where happy with the result. So the majority of the clients where happy as where the "employees" themselves so there was not much to worry about right?

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/DixieCarter.jpg

So it was with a slightly lighter hart that I stepped into Dixie's office expecting some slight praise and the start of negotiating a contract. Instead of her normal smiling self Dixie wasn't in high spirits though as she was on the phone when I walked in and she waved my down to take a seat. She seemed to be pleading with however was on the line if there was any chance they would change their minds or if TNA could do anything to adjust the contract to make them happy.

As I heard that thoughts started to race through my mind. Who are we loosing? Joe, AJ, Daniels, please no! Nash, Steiner? Meh. Angle? Oh god no! Russo? Yes please Russo!

Turned out it was none of the above. It was our ppv provider Direct TV and although we did a good buyrate in my eyes Dixie informed me that they had given us our two week termination warning as Direct TV didn't think we where a big enough company to go forward with. Given this fact she couldn't offer me a new contract until it showed we would still be making a profit when we had a new ppv provider if we could find one.

She also wasn't too happy about the Morgan and Nash match and the fact that Morgan was underperforming as she was really high on his potential and she had heard that I was being very critical about him. She had also heard complaints that I was being uncooperative with the rest of creative and rubbing some guys wrong in the back. So the probation was still on and she told me to fix these issues because as soon as it seemed results where sagging she would know where to lay the blame.

She now told me to get out as she would be busy the following weeks trying to get us a new PPV provider. Before I left I made one suggestion though that may have really raised my stakes in her eyes. Sometimes my best ideas come in my darkest hours.

Me: Two weeks notice right? How about we put on a ppv next week? Saying that the fallout of Slammiversary was so big that it couldn't wait and we put on a sort of super Impact in between. Also this would let us move to holding our ppv's regularly on the first week of each month. Then we would only clash with two WWE ppv's and would be a good test of our relative drawing power.

She seemed to perk up with that comment and she told me to do it and get it done and that it would be my responsibility.

So that just goes to show how much can change in one meeting. From high spirits and expected job security to total insecurity and another calamity I was put in charge of to fix. Days like these make me wonder why I ever came back.

OOC Direct tv gave us a warning so instead I just held one more ppv and then cancelled plus it gave me an excuse to make the ppv's on the same time. Plus putting them in the first week would mean that the Sout East crowd wouldn't be burned out yet as it would be the second show of the month. Stay tuned for the preview.

Jeff Jarret will be facing long time friend Rhino. Why? Find out on Impact! Either way this should be a thrilling affair.

Jay Lethal is set to make his first defence of the X title against a friend of the MEM who they describe as being a real bad guy.

O.D.B. will face of against Angelina Love in some hard hitting Knockout action. There is no love lost between these two.

After that veterans Tara and Jacqueline will face of in Tara's first title defence. Jacky is one tough customer but can she cause an upset here?

Daniels will be facing off against Big Poppa Pump in this main event calibre matchup pitting the Originals against the MEM.

And that is not all as Samoa Joe will be facing Kevin Nash! The war between the MEM and the originals is really heating up here and Joe can finally get some revenge for Nash betraying him at last years Bound For Glory.

AJ Styles will also be in action defending his legends title belt, against none other then the Hardcore Legend himself Mick Foley!

And in our main event Sting has agreed to defend his title against Kurt Angle with the stipulation that it will be the very last time and that Angle will not do anything without Sting's consent anymore if he doesn't win.

All this and more on this Impact you can not afford to miss!

Announcers: Mike Tenay and Don West.

Pyro followed by Slammiversary highlights open the show before Tenay welcomes us.

Tenay: Welcome everybody to this action packed Impact!
West: Indeed! The Fallout from Slammiversary is so great these guys can't wait to get at each others throats!

Mick Foley came out once again and addresses the crowd setting up the matches for tonight and for Victory Road 3D getting their final match against Beer Money in a TLC match. As a final announcement he is sad that he is no longer world champion and he blames Jarrett for it! So he books him in a match with Rhino as punishment! Furthermore he won't be sad for long as he is the Hardcore Legend and thus has booked himself to face AJ for the Legends title!

Rating: B+

Tenay: Whoa that’s a lot of things happening all at once. Will the originals be able to overcome the MEM this time around?
West: Overcome? Why should they the MEM is the best thing that has ever happened to TNA!

Jeff Jarrett vs. Rhino

These two friends are hesitant at first but the match gradually picks up in pace and is quite even. Just as Jarrett seems to be setting up for the Stroke Foley comes to ringside and distracts him enabling Rhino to hit the Gore! Gore! Gore!

Result: Rhino wins via pin after a Gore, Foley distracted Jarrett.

Jay Lethal vs. Scott Hall

After a lot of hints over the last weeks the bad guy finally makes his return to TNA. After doing his customary Hey Yo and Survey (,MEM vs. Originals won by the Originals,) he throws his toothpick at Lethal. But Lethal still has his sunglasses on. This Match is back and forth with Lethal using his greater speed to his advantage and Hall using his veteran wiles.

Suddenly all the lights go out and Suicide appears and distracts both Lethal and Hall as he is in possession of the X Division belt and makes his intentions on regaining it clear. Kaz makes his way to ringside as Lethal tries to get to Suicide but the lights go out again and Suicide disappears leaving the belt in between Kaz and Lethal. Kaz points at the belt and goes away to the back.

Hall meanwhile has been lazily hanging in the corner while all this went on and is talking with the crowd. Lethal hits him from behind to gain the upper hand and after a couple of more moves he manages to hit Hall with the Lethal Combination.

Result: Jay Lethal wins via pin after a Lethal Combination, Suicide distracted both competitors. Kaz also made an appearance
Rating: C

Tenay: I have just been handed a note, at Victory Road it will be Kaz vs. Suicide vs. Lethal for the X-Division belt!
West: Way to screw Hall he had that match won!

AJ, Daniels and Joe come out and they realize that after Slammiversary numbers in the end do matter that is why they have recruited two new members two even things up a bit and out come Abyss and "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MontyBrown.jpg

They are all grinning with the newest acquisitions and proclaim that the MEM should watch out as their days are soon to be numbered as the Originals will prove they are what TNA is all about.

Rating: B+

Tenay: Oh my, what an announcement and they haven't only grown in numbers but also added a lot of size and power!
West: It's still six to five though.

ODB vs. Angelina Love

ODB pretty much dominates this match when Love isn't cheating and puts her away with a running powerslam.

Result: ODB wins after a running powerslam.
Rating: D

Tara announces that at Victory Road she challenges Melissa for a title match being impressed with her during the Queen of the Mountain match. We then cut to somewhere else backstage where we see a very displeased Awesome Kong.

Rating: C

Tenay: Kong doesn't seem pleased but that will still make a great match for Victory Road! Wait... It ha just been confirmed that Melissa accepts the challenge!
West: Is Kong ever pleases? And I think Tara is counting out Miss Jacqualine.
Tenay: Indeed one must never underestimate her.

Tara vs. Jacqualine

Jacqualine shows she can still hang with the best in this match but Tara is just too much for her as she manages to hit the Widow's Peak for the win.

Result: Tara wins via pin after a Widow's Peak.
Rating: C-

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg

Scott Steiner is with Jeremy Borash and he rants about the Originals adding numbers, he claims that they are all either fat or skinny and none of them are as strong as Steiner. The fattest one being Abyss who thinks himself Hardcore! Steiner is more then Hardcore so he challenges him for a locked and loaded match for the Hardcore title to show him what being Big Poppa Bump means and that one should not interfere in the MEM's business! What Steiner doesn't notice though is that Abyss has crept up behind him and as he attacks Steiner from behind he yells: "I Accept!"

Rating: B

Daniels vs. Scott Steiner

Scott seems shaken up from the attack by Abyss giving Daniels the early advantage. Steiner manages to shake the cobwebs though and uses his greater power and shortcuts to make a come back. Abyss comes out though with security trying to hold him back. This distracts Steiner enough for Daniels to get a second wind and after an STF followed by the BME Daniels picks up the win Abyss clapping at ringside while security is still draped around him.

Result: Daniels wins via pin after a BME, Abyss also distracted Steiner.
Rating: B

Tenay: I think Steiner might have bitten off more then he can chew in Abyss!
West: The only one chewing is that far lug Abyss!

http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/AJStyles.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/SamoaJoe.jpghttp://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/Abyss.jpg http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Hyde_Hill/TNA/MontyBrown.jpg

After the match the rest of the Originals come out and AJ says he has a proposition. He will put up his legends championship against Sting for the World Heavyweight title. Seeing as Sting is a true legend and they respect him for all he has done if, no when, AJ wins Sting gets the Legends championship. If Sting manages to win he will have both championships. He then excuses himself as he needs to prepare for his match against Foley. Daniels then says the same deal applies if Angle wins tonight although if Angle loses he doesn't get the belt as they do not respect him as much. Also if Angle doesn't win Daniels wants him in a match at Victory Road and Joe wants a shot at Lashley for deciding to join the MEM as Joe makes the menacing cut throat signal. Monty Brown then takes the microphone from Daniels and tells Booker T he should prepare for the POUNCE!

Rating: B+

Tenay: Strong words from the Originals there.
West: Yeah to bad they can't back them up.
Tenay: Well Daniels already beat Steiner tonight.

Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash

Joe is a house on fire tonight as he finally gets his hands on his former mentor and while Nash uses his size and experience advantage as much as he can in the end he is no match for Joe's relentless onslaught.

Result: Samoa Joe wins via submission using the Coquina Clutch.
Rating: B

Tenay: Big win for Joe heading into Victory Road and finally some revenge!
West: Even Big Sexy can have an off day.

AJ Styles vs. Mick Foley

Speed and well style vs. brutal offense in this match as Mick uses every advantage he has given his position of power but AJ manages to counter most moves and Foley isn't able to get the pin or the upper hand for long growing increasingly frustrated he goes to the outside and picks up the barbwire baseball bat and hits AJ with it causing referee Patrick to call for the DQ while Foley is furious and berates Patrick for the decision.

Result: AJ Styles wins via DQ after Mick Foley used barbie.
Rating: B

Tenay: This is what we have been waiting for the main event! Sting vs. Angle for the title for the last time!
West: Hold on to your seats as this will be a showcase of what the MEM is all about!

Sting vs. Kurt Angle

Surprisingly both men decide to keep this match clean as they want to prove to the other beyond a shadow of a doubt they are the better man. The whole match is a back and forth affair but it never really seems to kick into a higher gear. Both men go through their signature spots and work their behinds off but somehow there is a lack of flow.

It is still a decent enough match though and the end is quite spectacular as Angle manages to catch Sting in the Angle Slam but Sting manages to get his arm around Angle's neck mid move resulting into a simultaneous Angle Slam and Scorpion Death Drop. As they fall to the mat they both have an arm draped across the other and after the gruelling match neither is able to respond to referee Hebnar's three count.

Result: Draw via double pin. Angle Slam and Scorpion Death Drop combo.
Rating: B-, bad chemistry

As Sting and Angle recover the rest of the MEM come out from the back. Sting then grabs the microphone and on behalves of the whole MEM he accepts the challenge laid out by the Originals.

Rating: A

Show Rating: B, Happy enough given the chemistry snafu in the main event.

OOC Hope people like the new shorter style for TV. I hope to be able to produce more shows this way and get chapter one done before TEW10 comes out and maybe chapter 2. If people prefer the older style let me know and I will switch back but the shows will take longer.
