hey, you've had a little luck cleaning up druggies (didn't Bagwell reform and rehab?

 

what strategy do you use (or suggestions from anyone)? I know its 3-strikes and out, but does any punishment work better than others?

 

Buff Bagwell hasn't tested positive again... he didn't go to rehab and he hasn't been caught since his second positive... but he might not have reformed!

 

With my current level of testing (three random tests after Explosion, five after pay per view with somebody who failed in the previous event automatically tested) I used riot act, last chance and fired.

 

If I ever make it bigger and have more money, I'll test more often and use more disciplinary measures.

PRE SHOW

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Mike Quackenbush defeated Big Vito in 5:43 by pinfall with a Quackendriver. D+

Live on Spike TV

 

Ken Shamrock is backstage, proclaiming himself as the king of old school wrestling. He says that as he has proved this and is on a winning streak, he has a demand to make with TNA's Director of Authority. Having said this, he bursts into Dusty Rhodes' office and demands a World Championship shot at Abyss. Rhodes talks Shamrock down for being rude and entering his office without knocking. Shamrock bangs his fist on the desk. Rhodes is unpreturbed, thinks for a moment and then says "OK... if you defeat Jerry Lynn tonight. If Lynn wins, he gets the title match". Shamrock is satisfied and leaves, confident he will beat Lynn. C

 

Desmond Wolfe is backstage, hyping his deciding match with EZ Money and saying he will win. D

 

Double X (with Francine) v The Young Bucks

Kazarian and Romero largely dominated a short match which did have flashes of quick, innovative and exciting moves by Matt and Nick Buck. The inevitable win came in 4:45 when Rocky Romero defeated Matt Buck by submission with a Diablo Armbar. D-

 

CM Punk comes onto the stage and shoots on Jeff Jarrett, calling him selfish and only created TNA to make himself money, not to give the fans great wrestling. He is aware of his comments from Impact last week and once he has claimed back his title from Abyss, will make Jarrett pay. C+

 

Mr Wrestling IV cuts a promo on Bryan Danielson, saying they are meeting at Bound for Glory III and he intends to put on an all time classic and that he is focused on getting the victory. D+

TNA TV TITLE

Doug Williams (champion) v Vampiro

Vampiro seemed bothered by his loss to Mr Wrestling IV last week as it appeared as though his head was in a completely difference place than even it normally is. This led to a very routine defence for Williams as he made comfortable work of it in 7:55 by pinfall with a Chaos Theory. Doug Williams makes defence number 3 of his TNA TV title. C-

TNA NATIONS CUP QUARTER FINAL MATCH 5

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSm6E7KXHDFrNg9KVTh5-_PJ0Hk9r6QP194ApzOaiNE5KfrQCpkXw USA II - 2

America's Most Wanted v The Fringe (Aries/Kash/Sanders)

Slightly strange in that there were large USA chants echoing through the arena whenever AMW were on top in the match yet loud boos whenever The Fringe were on top, so at least it was clear who the crowd were behind. What will happen in the semi final will be most interesting, as it was The Fringe who won the match for USA II in 11:24 when Austin Aries defeated Robert Roode by pinfall with a 450° splash. USA II will now face Japan in the semi final, so will the crowd be patriotic or continue their hatred for The Fringe and support the Japanese? D+

 

EZ Money hypes the decider with Desmond Wolfe and like Wolfe, he says he will win. D

 

Backstage and Ernest Miller is holding both the tag team championship belts. He shocks everybody by saying that Shane Douglas, his tag team partner, has walked out not only on him but on TNA. Miller then passes one of the belts off camera and says he has acted quickly and the Tag Team Championship are still in safe hands. Into camera shot walks Jose Maximo, holding the second championship belt and the two shake hands. Buff 'The Puff' Bagwell then walks past and calls them "gay". Miller and Maximo look angry but Buff runs off. C+

 

X DIVISION EIGHT MAN TAG

WHOEVER CLAIMS THE FALL WINS A SPOT IN ULTIMATE X

IF CHRISTOPHER DANIELS OR AMAZING RED CLAIM THE FALL THEN ONE SPOT IS DELETED FROM ULTIMATE X

CM Punk's New Dawn (Coleman/Rave/Styles/Red) v 'Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels (X Division champion), Air Paris & Latin American Exchange (Rey Bucanero & Ultimo Guerrero)

An ultra fast paced match that was practically contested under lucha libre rules. New Dawn were the slicker unit but were surprised when they lost the match in 11:17 when Air Paris defeated Jimmy Rave by pinfall with a Moonsault Press. Paris claims the third spot in Bound for Glory III's Ultimate X match for the championship. C-

 

Jeff Jarrett speaks out at Steve Corino, as it has been signed that the two shall meet at Bound for Glory III. He also has further words for CM Punk, questioning where his head is at given he has a battle with Abyss, himself and I'm sure he doesn't like the fact that there are wrestlers in TNA from WWE who are known to have taken drink and drugs in the past. "Where's your head at Punk?" B-

 

Ken Shamrock speaks out on the main event, up next. He says that he will prove again he is the king of old school wrestling by defeating Jerry Lynn and earn his title match against Abyss next week in the process. C-

 

WINNER GETS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ON IMPACT NEXT WEEK

Jerry Lynn v Ken Shamrock

It was an old school wrestling match, with some of Lynn's high flying thrown in for good measure. It turned out to be easily the best match of the night too as the fans were into it and the two impressed. They were also evenly match, so much so that the timekeeper rang the bell on the 20:00 mark and the referee called for a time limit draw. Lynn and Shamrock were staring each other down and the fans chanting "WE WANT MORE" as Impact went off air. C+

 

Show rating: C

The show can be considered a success and should increase TNA's popularity.

A number of angles did not reach the standard of the in ring action.

Attendance: 3063

TV rating: 0.75

Loss: $64,770

What system do you use to randomly test? Just wondering.

 

I allocate numbers to each wrestler based on the order they appear on the card. Therefore if the opening contest was a singles match, the two competitors would be numbers 1 and 2, going all the way through to the main event.

I then use http://www.random.org/integers/ to pick me the relevant amount of random numbers and that gives me who to random test.

Impact preview

 

Following the time limit draw on Impact last week, TNA Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes has announced through tna.com that Abyss will still defend his World Championship on Impact this week... the only issue is that nobody knows who the challenger is... if it's not Ken Shamrock you can imagine he will be livid.

Jimmy Hart shocked everybody last week by being the third person in the apparent WWE invasion, joining Sean Waltman and Teddy Hart in appearing in TNA while under WWE contract. The three took down big Sid Vicious last week. The big man is bound to hit back.

Equally shocking was one half of the Tag Team Champions, Shane Douglas, walking out of TNA. Ernest Miller has recruited Jose Maximo and Dusty Rhodes has rubbered stamped them as Tag Team Champions and Buff Bagwell and Monty Brown still have their shot at Bound for Glory III. Buff, of all people, called them gay last week. Will Miller and Maximo get their hands on everybody's favourite homosexual?

Live on Spike TV

 

Ken Shamrock for a second week running starts Impact by bursting into Dusty Rhodes' office. He says that as he is the king of old school wrestling and that Jerry Lynn failed to defeat him last week that he will get the title match against Abyss tonight. Rhodes tells Shamrock to shut up, telling him that while Lynn did indeed fail to beat Shamrock last week, by the same token he failed to beat Lynn and therefore as he had his chance, he doesn't get the title match. Shamrock leaves fuming and slams the door on his way out. C

Mexico (Hernandez & Jorge Estrada) v Italy (Big Vito & Tracy Smothers)

Vito and Smothers simply didn't work well together and despite Hernandez being below his best, Latin American Exchange found this opening semi final match easy going, taking a quick win in 4:36 when Hernandez defeated Big Vito by pinfall with a Dominator. D

 

Backstage in the bowels of the building and CM Punk is stalking Harley Race with a steel chair. Abyss roars into view, yelling at Punk not to touch Race. Punk instead turns round and nails Abyss with a clean chair shot to the head, dropping the big man like a large tree. C+

 

In a more civilised area backstage, Jimmy Hart and Sean Waltman are taunting Sid Vicious but keeping their distance. They insult him numerous times, laughing as they do and running steadily backwards, keeping enough distance between them and Sid. After a while Sid gets annoyed and walks off. D+

TNA TV TITLE

Doug Williams (champion) v Frankie Kazarian (with Francine)

A match of considerably better quality than the earlier Nations Cup match which managed to buy in some crowd interest following the dour opening match. Kazarian gave Williams some good offence but Williams' ground and pound style saw him through in 9:03 by pinfall with a Chaos Theory. Doug Williams makes defence number 4 of his TNA TV title. C-

 

Backstage and Mike Sanders is giving his members of The Fringe a pep talk, geeing them up ready for the TNA Nations Cup Semi Final clash they have with Japan. D-

 

Buff 'The Puff' Bagwell was cutting a promo on saying how he and his big black love muscle will become the Tag Team champions in a few weeks time. Ernest Miller interrupts and takes exception to Buff calling Jose Maximo gay last week. The two start scuffling but security breaks them up before it gets too physical. C

 

WINNER EARNS SPOT IN ULTIMATE X

Jerry Lynn v Mike Sanders v Satoshi Kojima v Ultimo Guerrero

Perhaps not as exciting as some expected this four way to be, nonetheless, it was non stop action as the four men did not let up throughout. All four men would ultimately make credible X Division champions but Kojima maintained his fine form in TNA by earning the fourth spot in Ultimate X by winning this four way in 11:49 when Satoshi Kojima defeated Ultimo Guerrero by pinfall with a Lariat. C-

 

Following the match, Ken Shamrock storms the ring and delivers a beat down to Jerry Lynn. C-

 

Bryan Danielson's promo was interrupted by Mr Wrestling IV, and the two engaged in a war of words. D+

 

CM Punk v Ernest Miller

Punk managed to put all his troubles to the back burner as he and Miller put on a good match and Punk earned another good win, making it seem like Abyss is the only TNA wrestler at the moment who has the better of him. Punk's victory came in 11:13 by pinfall with a Pepsi Plunge. C

 

Having picked up the victory, CM Punk celebrates in the ring. C-

 

Jeff Jarrett is speaking backstage, saying that CM Punk had better take notice of what he does at Bound for Glory III as when he takes apart Steve Corino, it will be the same as what he will do to Punk. Corino walks up to Jarrett and warns him he had better bring his A game to TNA's biggest event. C

NWA TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Abyss (champion with Harley Race) v ???

Over the past week, people have been wondering who will face Abyss for the title, well now we are going to find out...

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R8-Gdv72ZqE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

AJ initially takes the fight to the big man and has some success until the monster can catch up with the quick Styles and over power him. What follows is a quality back and forth match where Styles' speed nearly earned him victory as did Abyss' power and weight advantage. Harley Race tried to get involved at one stage but the referee stopped him and threatened to send him to the back. Race need not have worried though as Abyss made a successful first title defence but far from an easy one, coming through in 16:32 by pinfall with The Black Hole. Abyss makes defence number 1 of his NWA TNA World Heavyweight title and he and Race celebrate as Impact goes off air. C+

 

Show rating: C

The show can be considered a success and should increase TNA's popularity.
