So they're not affiliated with the NWA in this one? I do like how the titles will be decided right off the bat. Will be interesting to see how the weekly PPVs do.

Yeah the title matches will develop into the storylines, the debut show is just sort of a introductory show to set everything up but not just completely randomly. Weekly PPVs will be interesting but whether or not I go through with them depend on how the first one does. Please feel free to vote on winners for the matches.

Today, the legend Dusty Rhodes signed a long-term contract with TNA. What kind of impact will 'The American Dream' have on the the TNA roster?

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5694/dustyrhodes.jpg

CQI13 · June 2, 2009

Good foundation you've set up, but a couple of concerns (keep in mind that most of this might get explained at some point, but as a new "viewer" to TNA, a few things jump out):

We have a brand new promotion, and we don't know much about them in this universe. I know what the D.O.A. is from real life, and the fact that he's making matches tells me he's pretty important, but I thought Tenay would have been great to explain how TNA is different/what role the D.O.A. plays. Is he active on-screen? Remains backstage?

I like Lynn as the first X-Division champ, but I don't know anything about the match except that he won. Who was the first person eliminated? Who was the last person eliminated? Any fluke eliminations that could be seen as the beginning of something?

Good thing to establish Curt & Shamrock as the faces before the match (at least by the segment I assume they're the faces).

Hopefully we see more of Monty Brown just destroying people, to make that segment a part of his character.

I felt it was a little early for a "blow-off" type match we get from Killings & Konnan. I would have saved that for later down the line (maybe the second month) once they're established as characters. NOW I know they're rappers, but why are they fighting for a recording contract?

Despite their great chemistry, I may find it difficult to get behind Brian Lawler/Justin Credible. Conversely, I'd expect Steiner to be a force, or at least serve as a bodyguard for someone. He took out two guys!

I liked how Bagwell got some heat back at the end of the match. We'll see where that goes.

Very good finish to the Main Event, with Hall double crossing Jarrett. I like it when heels don't work with heels just because they're heels (that's a lot of heels there, hope it was clear!).

Overall, a very good first show laying the groundwork for later.

RavenEffect · June 2, 2009

Thanks for your comments, I do agree with you on most points, I'll be sure to take them on board for the next show <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

With Konnan and Killings, the recording contract will be part of the storyline. It's just like a prop for the two to use.

Also I'll try to be more detailed in the match reports next time.

Don West "What a show it was last week, with that sleazeball Scott Hall becoming the first ever TNA World Heavyweight Champion!"

Mike Tenay "I managed to catch up with Jeff Jarrett earlier today, and he was not in a good mood to say the least."

Don West "Quite right Mike, Hall turned on Jeff and then cheated to win the most prestigious title in the sport."

Mike Tenay "Oh come on Don, Jarrett would have probably done the same thing had he been in that situation."

Rating: C+

Scott Hall who is scheduled to wrestle next races down to the ring after the match and starts laying punches into an already worn down Shamrock.

Winner: Scott Hall. Just as Curt Hennig was going for the Perfect-Plex, Jarrett grabbed his foot momentarily distracting Curt allowing to Hall to hit him with the Razor's Edge

Rating: C

With Shamrock still handcuffed to the ring post, Hall & Jarrett continue their assault on Hennig. Just then, Dusty Rhodes comes down to the ring with a key to handcuffs. Shamrock is free and the two of them clear the ring but it's too late. 'Mr Perfect' has been left a 'Perfect Mess'.

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/7561/miketenay.jpghttp://img95.imageshack.us/img95/2759/donwest.jpg

Mike Tenay "This is totally disgusting Don, Hennig's career could be over right here."

Don West "Jarrett and Hall just needed to teach those guys a lesson, show them that they can't just go disrespecting whoever they like."

Mike Tenay "Sure whatever, but thank God Dusty came down when he did or who knows how far they would've went."

Don West "Well that's all for tonight, be sure to tune in next week!"

CQI13 · June 2, 2009

I like some developments in the second show. So for some constructive criticism:

*Good to see Hall/Jarrett working together, but not really together. I'm hoping this boils over down the line.

*What is Steamboat in TNA? If he just wanted to watch the X Division, let him buy a ticket. :-p

*Difficult to see developments with such short descriptions (in this format). However Low Ki/Daniels are part of Triple X (so given the name I'm assuming there's a third member, probably Skipper...so why didn't Skipper help them?)

*Good to see Steiners build up continue through week 2. But since it wasn't a 1 on 2 match again, why did Killings & Konnan argue? It's not like they were working together against him. If anything, they would have been double teaming the other with Steiner.

*Hopefully Justin Credible's request falls on deaf ears. I mean, they beat a make shift team (assuming they're not a regular team) in Bagwell & Super Crazy this week, and lose to 1 man (sure it was Rick Steiner, but still). Tag champs need to go over in 2-on-1 situations more often than not, and a 1-0 record against inferior competition does not make them credible contenders (pun intended). Maybe the request is denied by the D.O.A., leaving them out of a Tag Title Tournament. THAT would make for a class storyline, ESPECIALLY if he's a face.

*The Mysterio/Syxx match might have worked differently if Bagwell had cost Syxx the match (given the previous week). But if he's so upset, wouldn't Super Crazy have been the one to feel Bagwell's wrath?

*Final Segment(s): Good visuals (Ken handcuffed, the Perfect Mess), but it felt a little disjointed. Security should have come out (even if they would have gotten knocked out by Jarrett/Hall). I mean, they stopped what would have been a minor incident between Konnan & Killings. And how did Dusty get a copy of the keys???? OK, I know it's wrestling...I'll suspend my disbelief.

Again, some good developments, but I felt that some segments would have left me scratching my head as a viewer. With it being a new promotion, I'd likely tune in to see how it's resolved the following week(s).

A. Totally out of order, these guys are poison in this company and this Friday I will make them pay.

Q. How is Curt Hennig doing, do you have an update on his condition?

A. Yes I do actually, I visited him at his home yesterday and he told me suffered a concussion last week and doctors have told him not to wrestle this week. So I doubt you will see him tomorrow.

Joey Styles "Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My Gaaaaaaad! Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen, your looking at the D.O.A of TNA as appointed by the Board of Directors.

Out onto the stage comes TNA World Champion Scott Hall, Jeff Jarrett & Triple X. They pose and mock the crowd as Styles walks up the ramp to join them. Can Jarrett & Hall really co-exist as team?

Joey Styles "Oh and another thing, I hear there's a team going around claiming that they should be champs, well let's put that to the test tonight..in fact right now! Tonight you will see the two tag team matches featuring the best of tag team wrestling here in TNA. The winners of those matches will compete next week for the TNA World Tag Team Titles!"

Semi-Final Match in the Tag Team Title Tournament

Just 2 Incredible vs. The James Gang

BG James "Oh you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody!"

The James Gang making their TNA debut against "the best team in TNA" according to Justin Credible. BG & Kip dominate the match and continuously mocking their opponents while working the crowd. Credible & Lawler attempt to take the easy way out up the ramp but are closely followed by the James Gang who bring them back to the ring the hard way. BG goes for the Pumphandle Slam on Lawler but has to duck the Super-Kick from Credible sending him into Kip who finishes him off.

Winner: Kip James with the Fame-Asser to Lawler

Rating: D

BG James "Cut our music. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Thanks to Vincent K. McMahon firing our asses we proudly bring to the Future TNA World Tag Team Champions! BG & Kip James, the Jaaaaaames Gang!"

The James Gang leave through the crowd while Just 2 Incredible remain in the ring arguing with the referee asking him to restart the match.

Once again Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat comes down to ringside and joins Mike Tenay & Don West on commentary.

Ricky Steamboat "Last week I was just glad to help out, Triple X have the wrong attitude and they really showed that tonight by joining S.E.X."

X-Division Tag Team Match

Triple X vs. AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn & Super Crazy

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9555/lowki3.jpghttp://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2712/christopherdaniels3.jpghttp://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9376/elixskipper.jpghttp://img230.imageshack.us/img230/8499/ajstyles2.jpghttp://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6223/jerrylynnchamp.jpghttp://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4188/supercrazyj.jpg

The match starts off with Styles, Lynn & Crazy leaping over the top rope onto the floor taking down Triple X. Jerry Lynn looks great out there pulling off some of the most exciting spots of the match. Daniels & Skipper go up to the commentary table and shout abuse at Steamboat. This distracts Lynn & Crazy who go out to stop them leaving Styles in the ring alone with Low-Ki.

Winner: Low Ki defeated AJ Styles by pinfall with a handful of tights.

Christopher Daniels and Low Ki showed excellent chemistry teaming together.

Rating: C

Jerry Lynn "Ricky, man I don't think you should come back..your just a distraction at ringside. So do us a favour and just go home and retire happy."

Ricky Steamboat "You know what Jerry, I don't wanna retire, I don't think I'm ready to retire. I want one more match with you next week for the X-Title!"

Jerry Lynn "I normally don't wrestle old-timers but it will be an honour Dragon."

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/7561/miketenay.jpghttp://img95.imageshack.us/img95/2759/donwest.jpg

Mike Tenay "Wow, I just can't believe everything that's gone on tonight."

Don West "You know what Mike, I don't think I've seen a finer group than S.E.X. in all my life."

Mike Tenay "I seem to recall you branding Scott Hall a sleazeball last week."

Don West "Come on Mike, that was just a misunderstanding, Scott and I are on good terms now."

Hardcore Match

Shane Douglas vs. Sabu

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1702/shanedouglas.jpghttp://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4499/sabu2.jpg

Former ECW Champion, Shane Douglas is making his TNA debut tonight. Sabu starts the match taking lots of weapons from under the ring and tossing them at the Franchise. Douglas uses a tackle to ground Sabu and uses basic wrestling holds as he doesn't believe in Hardcore Wrestling which was well documented in ECW. Late on in the match Sabu charges at Douglas who finishes him off.

Winner: Shane Douglas with a drop-toe-hold onto a steel chair.

Rating: D+

As he walks back to the locker room, Douglas grabs an ECW sign from the crowd and tears it up in front of the camera. He screams the words, "ECW Is Dead!"

We are taken backstage where Interviewer Jeremy Borash is joined by Ken Shamrock.

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/7594/jeremyborash.jpghttp://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3982/kenshamrock.jpg

http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/9487/joeymatthews.jpghttp://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2346/amazingred.jpg

Winner: Amazing Red after hitting Matthews with Infrared.

The crowd weren't into this match as much as the wrestlers aren't as well known.

Rating: E-

After the match, led to the ring by Father James Mitchell, Monty Brown storms into the ring taking out both Joey Matthews & Amazing Red with the Pounce.

Tables Match

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4011/ricksteiner.jpghttp://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8098/kidkash.jpg

Steiner goes right on the attack throwing lots of strikes at Kash.

Winner: Rick Steiner with a Powerbomb through a table after 32 seconds.

Rating D+

Just as Steiner is walking up the ramp, S.E.X. appear on the titantron.

Joey Styles "Hey Rick, I've been watching your matches very closely and I have to say that I am very impressed. That is why I am offering you a place in S.E.X.. But remember if your not with us then your against us."

Tag Team Match

Road Warriors vs. Filthy Animals

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/255/hawk.jpghttp://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5575/roadwarrioranimal.jpghttp://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4563/reymysteriomask.jpghttp://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8153/konnan.jpg

"Uuuuugggghhhh Whaaaat Aaaaa Ruuuussh" The Road Warriors power conquers over Konnan & Mysterios speed in a tag team battle the fans would never have dreamed off.

Winner: Animal pinned Konnan after the Doomsday Device.

Rating: C+

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/7561/miketenay.jpghttp://img95.imageshack.us/img95/2759/donwest.jpg

Mike Tenay "So next week we will see the James Gang vs. the Road Warriors for the TNA World Tag Team Titles."

Don West "Should be an amazing match Mike, but I'm a little confused as to why S.E.X. aren't apart of the match."

Mike Tenay "Your really buying into this crap aren't you Don."

Don West "I'm just calling it like it is."

2 on 1 No DQ Match

Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Hall

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1036/kenshamrock2.jpghttp://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8042/jeffjarrett.jpghttp://img301.imageshack.us/img301/9379/scotthallchamp.jpg

Hall and Jarrett come out together but Jeff can't keep his eyes of the World Title. They wait anxiously in the ring for "The World's Most Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock. Shamrock's music starts but he is no-where to be seen. But then out of the crowd comes Ken and he jumps his opponent from behind to gain an early advantage. The numbers game eventually takes over and Shamrock finds himself getting beaten around ringside by Hall & Jarrett. Dusty Rhodes comes to the rescue again this time armed with a steel chair and he lays into Scott & Jeff. Unfortunately for him, the rest of S.E.X join in the assault leaving Rhodes & Shamrock a bloody mess.

Winner: Scott Hall with the Razor's Edge followed by the Stroke.

Rating: C+

As medics come down to the ring to attend to the victims, S.E.X. stand tall with their hands raised in the middle of the ring. Who can stop this group?

Overall Show Rating: C+

This show should be considered a success, it should have increased out popularity.

CQI13 · June 3, 2009

Whoa! Wait a second...Joey Styles is the D.O.A.? Odd pick to be sure. Not a bad one by any means, but certainly unexpected.

I know he's known for the catch phrase, but especially as the D.O.A. (and given the more serious look he gives off) he should be a little more serious. I've always thought the authority figures should either be kind of goofy faces (Commissioner Foley, Some of the Dusty stuff in TNA, Teddy Long) or ruthless heels (Bischoff at his best, some of the early McMahon stuff). Regardless, good job on it being someone who was not a usual suspect. Hopefully we'll see more as to WHY he's there, and WHY he wants to change wrestling, and WHY he's really against Hennig & Shamrock.

However, with Styles' newfound heel persona, and being in a position of power (which I don't think he's ever held), why didn't anyone really challenge him on it (probably Douglas...as to why he wasn't included in the group after his time in ECW revolutionizing the industry).

Good to see The James Gang go over.

Good to see xXx go over, but I'm having a difficult time comprehending some of the stuff that transpired. OK, so Steamboat is there, chilling at the announce table when two members of xXx go and berate him. Now, why is Lynn mad at Steamboat. They didn't have to help him. It's not Steamboat's fault. And then their little exchange made it seem as though Lynn is heel. Has he always been heel? If not, awfully quick turn.

I like that you're giving West some personality. Is he going to the be the heel part of the announce team? (btw, you put the Daniels/Low Ki chemistry note after the Douglas match as well).

Hopefully Steiner stays by himself. You risk bloating S.E.X. from the beginning, plus you already have 2 ME's in the group. I would have preferred a slower build to the formation of the group. And certainly through recruitment. You already started with 5, and you want more (not saying you'll book more people in the group).

Interesting match up for the Tag Titles next week, since I've seen The James Gang put the Road Warriors in a dumpster at some point in the Attitude era. Hopefully it will be a little more competitive next week.

Good finish to the show, with Ken showing some ingenuity to try to get past Jarrett & Hall.

Okay I'm back with this one, not really been playing because of exams and work but I plan to take this a lot further.
