The two impressed both in-ring as well as how they got over with the crowd. During his match with Kevin Nash this past week on iMPACT Lance Rock came off the top rope and landed awkwardly on his ankle funny. We have heard that Lance Rock has broken his ankle and will be out for at least two months. Also Paul Heyman made the announcement this past week that Monty Brown would be returning at No Surrender when he faces Kurt Angle in "The Road To Gold and Glory" tournament. We understand that the ink is still drying on Monty's contract. Monty is said to be very excited to be returning to wrestling after a long lay-off. This past iMPACT pulled a 1.31 TV rating on Spike TV. This is a HUGE improvement for TNA who have failed to break the barrier of 1.2 for a LONG time. Many look at this as an immediate sign of success for Paul Heyman...only time will tell. This week's main event featuring Kurt Angle taking on Jushin Thunder Lyger is getting major press coverage. After this match Jushin Thunder Lyger will only have one more match on his contract as he is simply appearing as part of a talent trade with NJPW.[/CENTER][/SIZE]

You know what stinks about being number one? There is only one way to go from there. Down. You can't move up in the standings. Oh well, i'll try two weeks in a row of perfect picks [B]Kurt Angle[/B] vs. Jushin Thunder Lyger I wish Lyger would win, but i see Angle throwing an Olympic size fit over losing to him. "The Road To Gold and Glory" Qualifier [B]Booker T [/B]vs. Matt Morgan Booker T wins. If it was anyone else but Morgan, i'd go with them for the simple fact it isn't Booker or Morgan [B]The RIOT Squad[/B] vs. Rhino and Christian Cage Tough call. RIOT squad should win for they are the new team and should look strong. But Rhino and Cage are Rhino and Cage... [B]The Motorcity Machine Guns[/B] vs. Team 3D Wow, two tough matches in a row. I'm gonna go on a limb here and say upset MCMG win. Then get beat up Petey Williams Open X Division Challenge X Division Championship [B]Petey Williams[/B] (c) vs. ??????????????? Another challenger another win [B]Gail Kim[/B] vs. Christy Hemme Gail Kim for the simple reason she's Gail Kim [B]Doug Williams [/B]vs. Shark Boy vs. Jay Lethal Two faces against one heal.......Jay Lethal is a tempting pick, but i'll say Williams BONUS WORTH 2 POINTS: Who is AJ Styles' backup? Reply With Quote Wow, so many different options. But in the end. From his past, who better to help him out then The Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels?

Jay Lethal was wearing an eye patch to sell his injury that he sustained during the attack that So Cal Val perpetrated on him. Doug Williams used his vicious knees throughout the match to do some serious damage. Despite all of the offense from Williams, Lethal was able to make a comeback and had Shark Boy down in the middle of the ring as he went up top for the Elbow Drop. Sonjay Dutt and So Cal Val came out on top of the stage and distracted Lethal. Lethal got down off the turnbuckle and went to the ropes. Lethal began shouting at Dutt and Val as they made out on the entry way. Lethal continued screaming allowing Doug Williams to come in and hit Lethal with The Northern Lights Suplex for the three.[/I] [B]Mike Tenay:[/B] What a huge win for Doug Williams!

Already announced participants in “The Road To Gold and Glory” tournament are Kurt Angle, Rhino, Christian Cage, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Monty Brown and the newest acquisition of TNA wrestling. For those of you who can’t count that’s seven people. We have one spot left, that last spot will be determined next week. We are going to have an elimination match. I’ve determined five men who I think are worthy of a shot, these men will compete next week. Kip James… Brother Ray… Chris Sabin… “The Monster” Abyss… And lastly… … … “THE PHENOMENAL” AJ STYLES!!! One of these men could very well win the whole tournament and then go on to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion at Bound For Glory! Good luck to all who are involved next week…happy hunting!

I got upset that I haven’t performed to the level that I’ve been wanting to. I want some gold Christian! [B]Christian Cage:[/B] Well buddy you’re going to get that chance in “The Road To Gold And Glory” tournament, (laughing) but you’ll have to get through me first.

Petey Williams continues his Open X Challenge and it gets even more difficult tonight. There were quite a few botched moves in this match but it didn’t take away from the excitement. Sabu attempted the triple jump moonsault but Petey was able to get out of the way and Sabu hit the ref. After the ref was hit Sheik Abdul Bashir ran to ringside and nailed Sabu with a Spike right in the throat! Petey recovered at the same time as the ref and Petey nailed Sabu with the Canadian Destroyer which was followed by a three count.[/I] [I]*Sheik Abdul Bashir has a dubious smile on his face as he looks on from the top of the ramp*[/I] [B]Mike Tenay:[/B] And Petey Williams squeaks out another win here in his Open X Division Challenge.

These two punks have beaten us before but it will not happen again. Sting and Kurt Angle are right; you young punks have no respect. We were a part of a professional wrestling revolution while you punks were a bunch of zit faced middle schoolers. We had won tag team gold before you punks had ever even had a wrestling match, yet you have no respect for us, because of that we will have no respect for you! Tonight we will destroy these two young punks from Detroit and after that we will work our way up and become twenty time World Tag Team Champions… [B]Brother Devon:[/B] OH MY BROTHER……TESTIFY!!!

Sabin dug deep and nailed Devon with an enziguri which enabled him to make the hot tag to Shelley. Alex cleaned house until Ray ended that with a low blow. Ray and Devon then began to work over Shelley. Shelley appeared to be out of it as Ray began taunting to the crowd.

[I]*The door opens and it’s Sting*[/I] [B]Booker T:[/B] Well if it isn’t Sting, what can I do for you? [B]Sting:[/B] Booker, we need to talk. [B]Booker T:[/B] Go ahead my friend. [B]Sting:[/B] When I came out and pulled Samoa Joe off of you at Victory Road I wasn’t concerned about you, I was concerned about Joe. Things changed though, whenever Joe put his finger and stuck it in my face and told me to F off...things changed. I realized one thing these guys have no respect for us; they have no respect for the business. So I’m here tonight to ask you one thing Booker….are you with us….are you with Team 3D, Kurt Angle and I? Or…are you against us. [B]Booker T: [/B]Sting…first of all…I don’t like your tone. [B]Sting:[/B] Well that’s something you’re just going to have to deal with! [B]Booker T: [/B]Secondly, I agree with you! I came to this place that no one cared about with hopes of having great main event matches against people like you and Kurt Angle, but that didn’t happen. What happened, I was put into matches with a fat, out of shape, wannabe champ named Samoa Joe! So here’s what I say, I have a qualifying match for “The Road To Gold and Glory” tournament coming up next and if you can prove that you are on MY side then I’m with you. You dig? [B]Sting: [/B]I think I know what you’re saying. I’ll make sure to let you know how I feel. [B]Booker T:[/B] Now if you’ll excuse us we have a match to go win.

Booker T is coming off of a loss to Samoa Joe but is looking to get back into the swing of things. Morgan dominates early using his power to his advantage. Booker T uses some underhanded tactics to gain control of the match but that doesn’t last long as Morgan nails with his Bicycle Kick and signals that it’s time for the Hellevator! Just as Morgan gets Booker in position the lights go out![/I] [B]Mike Tenay:[/B] What’s going on? [B]Don West: [/B]You know what this means!

You two are pieces of work, beating me wasn't enough...you had to break my ribs and open a gash so large on my head that I had to have 40 stitches.

[Lexa90]

Awesome show man :D How can you have Christopher Daniels as the backup? Is he going to be both Daniels and Curry Man?

[chopps4312]

I think it's you and i both are on the same page. Clearly we both agree on how TNA could be booked. And if it was this way, we know they'd at least have you and I tuning in each week to watch lol. Great work again. And the Rhino turn, i did that in my current TNA game too. Freaky man.

[darthsiddus2]

if you could find Disposable Teens that was daniel's theme in ROH. would've been better. overall very nice show my friend

[chopps4312]

Well yeah. You can't have a great promotion without some flaws. And what better flaw than an ex porn star gimmick to lead your promotion? Actually as far as i am concerned he is a great veteran who i am sure would be cheap. Good on the mic and can help the younger guys out. Give him a decent push to get him up on the ranks and he'd have no problem going over for the younger guys. Nash, Angle, Booker, and Sting i just don't see doing that. Something that is needed to keep a promotion strong is building up more talent and passing the torch on. Still, your doing great and if that day ever comes in your diary could very well be the demise of my guessing. I'd be forced to always vote for him lol

Preview[/CENTER][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE="3"][CENTER]The action is heating up as we head towards No Surrender!!! This week we have a huge main event when "The Icon" Sting faces off against the TNA rookie "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan! Sting will continue to build momentum as he heads towards his huge clash at No Surrender with TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Samoa Joe! Speaking of Samoa Joe, this week he will team up with Christian Cage as they look for revenge against The RIOT Squad! Last week The RIOT Squad and Rhino put a massive beat down on Cage, will he be ready for this week? Last week as we went off the air Samoa Joe and AJ Styles showed signs signalling that "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels could be returning to TNA. Is Daniels really on his way back or are Joe and AJ simply playing mind games with the veterans? Also this week the final spot in "The Road To Gold And Glory" tournament will be decided when AJ Styles, Kip James, Brother Ray, Chris Sabin and "The Monster" Abyss face off in a five-way elimination match! The Open X Division Challenge will continue when Petey Williams faces off against another mystery opponent, last week it was Sabu, who will it be this week? All this plus, Beer Money, Eric Young, Booker T, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong and more of your favorite TNA stars![/CENTER][/SIZE]

[B]Sting[/B] vs. Matt Morgan My dislike for Morgan's gimmick along with how i see the Sting storyline progressing makes me pick Sting on this one. [B]Christian Cage and Samoa Joe[/B] vs. The RIOT Squad Interference from either Rhino or Sting could give them the win via DQ. The Road To Gold And Glory Qualifier AJ Styles vs. Kip James vs. Brother Ray vs. Chris Sabin vs. [B]Abyss[/B] I am picking Abyss as i don't see him fitting any where else right now in your plans. Though it would be helpful to know what your plans are for this diary lol. [B]Booker T[/B] vs. Eric Young God i hope Young doesn't win Open X Division Challenge [B]Petey Williams[/B] (c) vs. ????????????? And for the record i'm going on a limb here and saying i see Sabu again as the challenger Peter Gruner vs. [B]Sheik Abdul Bashir[/B] You signed Kidman too? GET OUT OF MY HEAD! lol Gotta go middle east on this one Taylor Wilde and Roxxi vs. [B]Awesome Kong and Raeesha Saeed[/B] The massive Kong for the win

[ECWRulz32]

I always liked your work with TNA and I am glad Daniel's is on his way back hopefully Curry man gimmick is ended well.

[BIGJOSH]

I'm looking for someone to do PSD cuts for my dynasty...I can get the pics and make the final images but I need some help with actually doing cut outs of the wrestlers. If you are interested and able then send me a PM.
