Nobby_McDonald Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Impact Wednesday, week 1, January 2003 Rhodes Fieldhouse, Searcy, AR. (Pre show) Potter defeated Robert Roode in 8:59 by submission with a Sharpshooter. C- During an in-ring promo, Tony Schiavone tells the crowd that tonight, we will see Ken Shamrock vs Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Jerry Lynn in a triangle match! D+ I'm hoping this creates a decent main event as a one off. Abyss announces that he has decided to give himself a challenge tonight, and if he cannot win the match in under 5 minutes he'll admit defeat. He introduces Alex Shane as his opponent.E Abyss v Alex Shane - five minute hardcore challenge match Abyss defeated Alex Shane in 2:26 by pinfall with The Black Hole. D- Abyss dominated as expected, and we see a slight improvement in his match. A video plays hyping America's Most Wanted vs. The Legion of Doom. D Jay Lethal v Nigel McGuinness Jay Lethal defeated Nigel McGuinness in 3:39 by pinfall. E+ The match suffered due to Lethal and McGuinness not clicking. Tatanka and Chris Candido are in the ring, and are squaring off, unhappy about something. The argument soon turns physical, and they are joined by Ultimo Dragon and Frankie Kazarian for a wild brawl, with the chaos spilling out all around ringside. Eventually a number of officials and other wrestlers have to hit the ring and pull them apart before they kill each other. D- Samoe Joe v Matt Striker Samoa Joe defeated Matt Striker in 3:59 by submission. D Joe was as dominant as Abyss earlier as he continues his return from injury. Mysterio and Lynn attack Ken Shamrock backstage, and leave him down and out. C-. More main event set up, and a surprise move by Rey. Caribbean Cool v Special K ('Special' Steve Corino & Kid Kash) Caribbean Cool defeated Special K in 6:47 when Carlito defeated Kid Kash by pinfall with a Stunner. D Carlito is celebrating in ring following his victory, when Steve Corino appears. He gives the signal, and Kid Kash, Chris Harris and James Storm beat the living crap out of Carlito. D NWA TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Legion of Doom v America's Most Wanted America's Most Wanted defeated The Legion of Doom in 9:51 when James Storm defeated Road Warrior Hawk by pinfall with a Death Sentence. America's Most Wanted win the NWA TNA World Tag Team titles. C- A pleasing match, especially when one considers how often these two teams have met of late. Jarrett and Douglas had an interview hyping them self. Telling everyone watching just.. how.. good.. they... are... D+ CM Punk v Psicosis - cage match CM Punk defeated Psicosis in 12:41 when CM Punk escaped the cage. E Very disappointing, this was the worst match of the fued, so it's a good job this ends it! A music video airs hyping the promotion, including shots of Ken Shamrock, AJ Styles, and Jeff Jarrett. C NWA TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Ken Shramrock v Rey Mysterio Jr v Jerry Lynn Ken Shamrock defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. and Jerry Lynn in 12:32 when Ken Shamrock defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. by submission with an Ankle Lock. Ken Shamrock makes defence number 5 of his NWA TNA World Heavyweight title. C+ The main event delivers. Show rating: C- Attendance: 2000 (sell out) Injuries: Psicosis fractured his jaw in the cage match, but will work through the pain. Air Paris returns next show.

Nobby_McDonald Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 New Year Nightmare Sunday, week 1, January 2003 Trojan Arena, Troy, AL. "It's all about the wrestling" A pay per view with no build up, it's all about the action in the ring. (Pre Show) Jimmy Yang defeated Frankie Kazarian in 9:55 by pinfall with a Corkscrew 450 Splash. D The two worked well together, although Kazarian was off his game. Doug Williams v Jay Lethal Jay Lethal defeated Doug Williams in 7:36 by pinfall. D These two are great in the ring together, although Lethal's performance was very disappointing. That may now hold his good run back now. TNA LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP Mickie James v Sara Del Ray Mickie James defeated Sara Del Ray in 10:24 by pinfall with a Laree DDT. Mickie James makes defence number 14 of her TNA Ladies title. E+ I need to look at the women's division, as their ratings have drop significantly of late. James continues to show her in ring dominance and remains undefeated in TNA. Sheik Abdul Bashir v Ultimo Dragon Ultimo Dragon defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir in 11:47 by pinfall with an Asai DDT. C- A decent match and the show is on an upswing. Bashir and Dragon worked excellently together. Air Paris v Psicosis Air Paris defeated Psicosis in 12:48 by pinfall with a Moonsault Press. C A good match, especially as Psicosis was slowed by an injury. Caribbean Cool & Legion of Doom v Special K & Cocky Connection Caribbean Cool and The Legion of Doom defeated Special K and ****y Connection in 17:01 when Road Warrior Animal defeated Johnny Devine by pinfall with a Top Rope Powerslam. D+ Animal was tiring towards then end of the match. NWA TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP America's Most Wanted v No Nonsense America's Most Wanted defeated No Nonsense in 19:16 when Chris Harris defeated Samoa Joe by pinfall with a Death Sentence. America's Most Wanted make defence number 1 of their NWA TNA World Tag Team titles. C- The crowd thought the match went on for too long, although I'm not so sure. Chris Candido v Potter Chris Candido defeated Potter in 15:31 by pinfall with a Top Rope Leg Drop. B- Best match of the night so far... will anything top it? TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP AJ Styles v Shane Douglas AJ Styles defeated Shane Douglas in 17:44 by pinfall with a Styles Clash. AJ Styles makes defence number 7 of his TNA X Division title. C Styles on the up and up. Jeff Jarrett v Rey Mysterio Jr Jeff Jarrett defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. in 14:39 by pinfall with The Stroke. B- A match to equal the Candido v Potter match. The main event is going to have to go some to top these two... NWA TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Ken Shramrock v Jerry Lynn - 30 minute ultimate submission match Ken Shamrock defeated Jerry Lynn in 30:00 by two falls to one. Ken Shamrock makes defence number 6 of his NWA TNA World Heavyweight title. B Wow, a match that lifted the entire crowd, and TNA's best match to round off it's best show to date. All with zero build up. Show rating: B- The show is considered a success and should boost TNA's popularity. Attendance: 5000 (sell out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 A question... what is a downside agreement? Mike Tenay is asking for one in negotations for a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Downside agreement is the minimum you must pay a worker for that month. i.e. $800 per appearance, $2000 downside would mean that if you only used Tenay twice, you'd be required to pay him for his two appearances ($800 each, equaling $1600, PLUS $400 to make up the difference). Of course, if you use him 3 times (or more) then you don't have to worry about that, since his PPA money would be greater than the downside. So it could best be explained as a Monthly Minimum Wage. Not sure why you'd do an entire night of 0 build up matches (unless you'll recap some of them on TV and hopefully build towards something). Two small gripes: Every match had a clean finish (so the loser of the match doesn't have anything to fall back on, should you try and build). And you should have kept at least Punk & Psicosis out (to sell the cage match -- especially Psicosis). And if you had to have Punk, then have him lose, still feeling the effects of the cage or something. Still want to see where things go long term, but those are comments on the show itself.

Nobby_McDonald Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for that CQI. The downside will be redundant then, as he is my commentator, will be on $1000 per show (4 Impacts and one pay per view a month) and only have a $1500 per month downside. I never even considered Punk and Psicosis selling their cage match, nor every match being a clean finish. I certainly will need to consider these sorts of things in future. The reason it was a zero build up pay per view is that is the second pay per view in two weeks, and starts the building up to the February pay per view, Survivor. Rather ironic how it was rated my best show to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Impact Wednesday, week 2, January 2003 Shakopee Center, Shakopee, MN.

America's Most Wanted make defence number 2 of their NWA TNA World Tag Team titles. D- Sabu was clearly unhappy when leaving the ring. CM Punk is handcuffed to the ring ropes by Kid Kash, and beaten to a bloody pulp by Kid Kash and 'Super' Steve Corino. E- Joe? Joe? Where is Joe? Jay Lethal v Robert Roode Jay Lethal defeated Robert Roode in 4:48 by pinfall. E+ Come on Jay, your matches should be better than this... Abyss announces that he has decided to give himself a challenge tonight, and if he cannot win the match in under 5 minutes he'll admit defeat. He introduces Air Paris as his opponent. F+ Abyss v Air Paris - five minute hardcore challenge Abyss defeated Air Paris in 0:55 by pinfall with The Black Hole. E Abyss' domination continues. Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas are seen chatting backstage when Potter appears and takes them down by using a clay pot. Potter keeps up the onslaught, but ultimately the numbers get the better of him, Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas turn it round and beat on Potter, leaving him a bloody mess. C- Revenge is not so sweet when it tastes of clay. Frankie Kazarian v Samoa Joe Samoa Joe defeated Frankie Kazarian in 7:47 by pinfall with an Island Driver. D Ah, here's Joe. I'm sure CM Punk will have wondered where he was earlier. Potter is seen being placed onto a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance. C- Of course we've all seen this angle before and know he'll be back later... Caribbean Cool are seen with Tony Schiavone, demanding a match against The Legion of Doom.

Suddenly, Ken Shamrock's music hits and the crowd explode as Shamrock makes a completely unexpected return from the hospital!

CQI13 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Shame to see Dragon go, especially after winning his last two matches. Is he gone already, or does he still have a week left with you? If he's still there for a week, a worker getting a big win over him would be great. They could claim that they beat him so bad that they ran him out of the promotion.

D- Air Paris is being attacked by Jimmy Rave, Johnny Devine and Sheik Abdul Bashir in the ring.

America's Most Wanted make defence number 3 of their NWA TNA World Tag Team titles. C- Another solid match, I'm happy some performers are consistant. The camera cuts backstage where we find Ken Shamrock, stumbling through the halls, completely out of it, obviously either stoned or drunk. D+ Candido's evil actions obviously worked. CM Punk is walking backstage when 'Super' Steve Corino and Kid Kash come out of hiding and attacks. Punk is bungled into a waiting car, which then speeds off. D- Jerry Lynn v Tatanka Jerry Lynn defeated Tatanka in 9:36 by pinfall with a Cradle Piledriver.
