TNA Impact! Cross The Line Episode 1

 

Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles vs L.A.X.

All four competitors are young this match is quite possibly featuring the future of TNA, L.A.X are a established tag team working together for many independant promotions while AJ Styles and Daniels only feature as a tag team occasionally.

 

Samoa Joe vs Jimmy Yang

Samoa Joe is a machine with the physique of a heavyweight but the technical and high flying skills of a cruiserweight, quite possibly the hottest prospect of all the young TNA talent. Jimmy Yang is a cruiserweight brought in from Japan to help add depth to the X-Division TNA is in the process of creating.

 

Jeff Jarrett vs Jerry Lynn

Jeff Jarrett, the son of the owner Jerry Jarrett is the franchise player in TNA, former multiple time world champion and will look to be in the hunt to be the first TNA World Heavyweight champion. Jerry Lynn, a major star in ECW and now in ROH, TNA signed him to compete in both X-Division and Normal competition due to his great skills, having held titles in the WWF and ECW he will want to add TNA to that list.

 

 

Prediction List:

AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels vs L.A.X

Samoa Joe vs Jimmy Yang

Jeff Jarrett vs Jerry Lynn

The show starts with Jeff Jarrett in the ring with a microphone<O:p</O:p

“I would like to take this time to congratulate myself on bringing this creation to life, I am the founder of TNA and I will be the face of TNA and you better get used to it! As for my opponent tonight, Jerry Lynn, you can try and revive your failure of a career here in TNA but it’s not going to come at my expense, so you can bring you daredevil moves and your hardcore athleticism but at the end of the match you winner will be double J, Jeff Jarrett.”

 

AJ Syles & Christopher Daniels vs L.A.X.
http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/AJStyles.jpg & http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/ChristopherDaniels3.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/Homicide3.jpg & http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/HotstuffHernandez.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

This match had solid in ring action all four participants styles complimented each other very well, L.A.X dominated the start of the match due to Hernandez’s power moves as well as Homicide’s occasional flashy move, Daniels and AJ came back into the match by using their great aerial offence and quick fire tags, the match turned when Homicide had Daniels up for the Cop Zilla and Styles connected with the Pele Kick, and then Styles clashed Homicide for the three count.<O:p</O:p

Winner: AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in 13:05

 

 

Ron ‘The Truth’ Killings is making his way to the ring doing his usual dance entrance when ‘Prime Time’ Elix Skipper attacks him from behind and continues to assault him on the stage, the camera zooms to Skipper’s face as he states “this is my time now."

 

Jimmy Yang vs Samoa Joe

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JimmyYang.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/SamoaJoe3.jpg

 

 

This match was a fairly even bout with good in ring action, Yang hit plenty of high flying moves early on to keep control until Joe reversed one into a submission and continued to show off by switching holds into numerous other submissions, with Joe in control he hit several big moves before finishing Yang of with the Island Driver.<O:p</O:p

Winner: Samoa Joe in 10:28<O:p</O:p

 

Jerry Lynn vs Jeff Jarrett

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JerryLynn.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JeffJarrett2.jpg

 

This match had great heat and great action as Lynn and Jarrett have good chemistry in the ring, Jarrett started in control keeping Lynn grounded and working on his legs, Jarrett would taunt both Lynn and the crowd several times leading to a comeback from Lynn hitting a cross body and tornado DDT, Lynn signalled for the cradle piledriver and whilst rolling through into the hold he inadvertently knocked the referee down leading to Super Crazy attacking him from behind and Jarrett hitting the Stroke and picking up the victory. <O:p</O:p

Winner: Jeff Jarrett in 12:43

 

Post-Match Mike Tenay announces that the new GM of TNA will debut next week, but until then he has announced an X-Division tournament to crown the first ever X-Division champion and that Jerry Lynn will have a chance for revenge next week as he will face Super Crazy in a first round match.<O:p</O:p

Mike Tenay starts the show in the ring<O:p</O:p

 

“Ladies and gentleman please welcome the new general manager of TNA”…….. the music hits, Americannnnnn Dream, Dusty Rhodes comes out to a huge reaction from the fans and comes to the ring, “what a honour it is to be here in the six sided ring of TNA, I am confident this company has the skills and the performers to take wrestling to new heights, my first act as general manager was to start the X-Division tournament to crown our first X-Division champion also I would like to announce that at Slammiversary in two weeks our first World heavyweight champion will be decided in a king of the mountain match, anyway enough from me, lets kick off the X-Division tournament!”

Jimmy Yang vs Low Ki

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JimmyYang.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/LowKi3.jpg

This match had solid in ring action, with two similar styles colliding, Low Ki was dominate throughout seeming to always be in control of the match, the match concluded when Yang ducked a spinning heel kick and bounced of the ropes hitting a springboard DDT and then capitalizing with the 450 splash for a shock win<O:p</O:p

Winner: Jimmy Yang in 7:02

AJ Styles vs Psicosis

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/AJStyles.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/Psicosis.jpg

This match had a good blend of technical wrestling and high flying, Styles rarely got going but when he did he would hit a big move, this gained plenty of pops from the crowd, Psicosis shown his experience by keeping Styles grounded at the start and got the crowd into the match by taunting them, Psicosis hit a few high flying moves before missing a crossbody off the top rope this allowed Styles to hit the Styles clash for the victory.<O:p</O:p

Winner AJ Styles in 11:43

 

Jeff Jarrett is shown in Dusty Rhodes office<O:p</O:p

“Dusty, congrats on getting the job, I was telling them we need a legend like Dusty Rhodes to steer this company in the right direction, now as you know I am the franchise and the founder of TNA and I can’t imagine you’d be stupid enough to leave me out of the king of the mountain match”<O:p</O:p

“Jeff let me make one thing clear, ass kissing this GM won’t get you no were! And with this company in my hands you won’t get no special treatment I don’t care that you’re the ‘founder’, this is my company now and it’s going to be run fairly! That being said you did win your match last week and just like the winner of the main event tonight you have been entered into the king of the mountain match”<O:p</O:p

 

Jarrett leaves with a smirk on his face

Jerry Lynn vs Super Crazy

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JerryLynn.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/SuperCrazy.jpg

This match featured good action from two good performers, many good spots raised the match, Jerry Lynn never looked in too much danger though and when given the opportunity he hit the cradle piledriver and pinned super crazy 1,2,3<O:p</O:p

Winner: Jerry Lynn in 10:01

Monty Brown vs BG James

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/MontyBrown3.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/BGJames2.jpg

This match was not up to the standard expected from these two performers, the match lacked a distinct flow and it was notable they styles didn’t match well, Monty Brown picked up the victory with the pounce<O:p</O:p

Winner: Monty Brown in 11:05

 

Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring<O:p</O:p

“Clearly Dusty Rhodes is going to try and tarnish my career and legendary reputation with his position of power in TNA, I will not let this happen so I have got myself an insurance policy”….<O:p</O:p

Jarrett points down to the entrance way, new signing Buff Bagwell’s music hits and he comes down to a mixed reaction<O:p</O:p

“That’s right I got Buff Bagwell signed to help me win the world heavyweight title”<O:p</O:p

Jarrett goes to hug Bagwell but Buff instead grabs his microphone<O:p</O:p

“Jeff, I would like to thank you for bringing me to TNA but I won’t be helping you win the world title, I just spoke to Dusty Rhodes and he entered me into the king of the mountain match, and that title is mine!”<O:p</O:p

The show ends with the fans cheering Bagwell, and Jarrett is left with a look of shock on his face<O:p</O:p

TNA Impact! Cross The Line Episode 3<O:p</O:p

Juventud Guerrera vs Alex Shelley (King of the mountain qualifier)

Both workers making their debut in TNA, Juventud a very accomplished cruiserweight, winning the WCW cruiserweight title three times, Shelley a very young, exciting high flyer who has been impressing many with his performances in ROH alongside Chris Sabin, who will earn a spot to compete for the world title at Slammiversary.

AJ Styles vs Frankie Kazarian (X-Division tournament round 1)

Two future stars in TNA Styles already with several victories in TNA under his belt, while Kazarian just pulled of one of the biggest shocks in Japanese wrestling history beating Jushin Liger despite being a ‘young lion’.

Christopher Daniels vs Homicide (X-Division tournament round 1)

These two met two weeks ago on Impact in a tag match, Daniels got the better in that exchange but who will prevail in a singles match.

Buff Bagwell vs Jeff Jarrett

Bagwell was brought in by Jarrett for help but when offered a world title shot by GM Dusty Rhodes he had to accept, turning his back on Jarrett and welcoming Dusty and the fans, these two collide just a week before the King of the mountain match who will gain valuable momentum.<O:p></O:p>

<O:p></O:p>

Prediction List:

Juventud Guerrera vs Alex Shelley

BG James goes into Dusty Rhodes office<O:p</O:p

“Dusty you gotta give me one more shot to make it to Slammiversary, I was so close to beating Monty Brown, I am the best on this roster I deserve one more shot!”<O:p</O:p

Dusty looks angry at the way he was spoke too<O:p</O:p

“Using that tone with me isn’t going to get you no were, now I had a new superstar ask for the same opportunity earlier today so next week you will face my mystery opponent for a place in the king of the mountain match”

 

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JuventudGuerrera2.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/AlexShelley2.jpg

 

This match contained good strong high flying moves from both Juventud and Shelley, Shelley sparked a quick offence early on but once Juventud got in control the experience kicked in and his quality was shown, he finished of the match with the Judi Driver<O:p</O:p

Winner: Juventud Guerrera in 7:08

<O:p</O:p

<O:phttp://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/AJStyles.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/FrankieKazarian.jpg</O:p>

 

<O:pThis match was very well balanced between Styles and Kazarian, the start featured many spots and high flying moves, before there technical abilities were shown with some great mat and chain wrestling, Styles won after reversing Kazarian momentum into a roll up<O:p</O:p

Winner: AJ Styles in 10:51

<O:p</O:p

 

A pre-taped video of Elix Skipper backstage with Mike Tenay is played; he is explaining his actions from two weeks ago when he attacked Ron Killings<O:p></O:p>

“Everywhere I’ve been in wrestling I’ve been over looked, it happened it WCW when jokers were on TV instead of me, I’m primetime Elix Skipper and I’m tired of seeing idiots get my TV time, so for once I took some for myself, I saw that the same thing was happening here with people like Ron Killings coming out here and dancing for the fans and I got sick of it so I took matter into my own hands”

 

<O:p</O:p

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/Homicide3.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/ChristopherDaniels3.jpg

This match didn’t live up to crowds expectations, mainly because of the lack of heat, the ring work was very solid but didn’t have a good flow, Homicide picked up the victory when he slipped out of the Last Rites, rebounded of the ropes and his a powerful Lariat<O:p</O:p

Winner: Homicide in 11:17

<O:p</O:p

 

Jeff Jarrett is being interviewed backstage<O:p</O:p

“I cannot believe this, this is outrageous, I am the founder and the franchise of TNA, I’m the man and just because people are jealous of my success I get unfairly treated, Dusty was jealous that my accomplishments have far surpassed his so he puts me in match, after match, after match trying to injure me! Bagwell, I signed him to a personal bodyguard contract with this promotion, he wasn’t going to be a wrestler but Dusty offers him a world title match and all the sudden he thinks he can go against the chosen one Jeff Jarrett, tonight I dispose of Bagwell and then on to next Sunday I will win the king of the mountain match and become he first ever TNA world heavyweight champion!”

<O:p</O:p

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JeffJarrett2.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/BuffBagwell.jpg

 

This match had good in ring action and had a great crowd response, the crowd were heavily behind Bagwell, the match started with a slow felling out process but it built up to an all-out brawl which made for a very entertaining final minutes to the match, the end came when Jarrett charged at Bagwell whilst he was in the corner, Bagwell moved causing Jeff to hit the exposed turnbuckle and Bagwell hit the Buff Blockbuster for the victory<O:p</O:p

Winner: Buff Bagwell in 10:51<O:p</O:p

Dusty Rhodes is in the ring alongside Ron Killings<O:p></O:p>

“It is my pleasure to welcome back into TNA, Ron Killings, he came to me and pleaded for me to let him get his hands on Elix Skipper and I’d be stupid not to let this slobber knocker of a match happen, so at Slammiversary Ron Killings will face Elix Skipper one on one.”<O:p></O:p>

 

 

He passes the microphone to Ron Killings but before he can say anything he gets jumped from behind by Elix Skipper

The Naturals vs Scorpio & Psicosis

This match had good solid action, and helped establish The Naturals more with the crowd, they had good early offence before Scorpio and Psicosis began to take control, Scorpio impressed showing good aerial offence although Psicosis could of contribute more, The Naturals were solid throughout and took advantage of a miscommunication between Scorpio and Psicosis due to them not being a regular tag team, and Andy Douglas connected with the natural disaster on Psicosis for the victory<O:p</O:p

Winners: The Naturals in 7:17

 

 

Dusty Rhodes comes to the ring and announces his mystery opponent…. Brian Lawler

BG James vs Brian Lawler

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/BGJames2.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/BrianLawler.jpg

 

This match had decent in ring action but just didn’t connect with the crowd despite both being very over, BG James put in yet another bad performance and his TNA future is in doubt, Brian Lawler didn’t put in a great effort and will be reprimanded for that, Lawler won with a top rope leg drop<O:p</O:p

Winner: Brian Lawler in 7:42

 

Jerry Lynn vs Jimmy Yang

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JerryLynn.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JimmyYang.jpg

 

This match had great effort from both workers they weren’t helped due to a bad crowd mood from the previous match but sure made the best of the situation, both only showed a glimpse of their aerial ability but did put on a strong technical match Jerry Lynn remained strong despite Jimmy Yang being given dominance at the start of the match, nearing the end there were many flash pinfall and submission attempt before Jerry Lynn rolled through a Jimmy Yang roll up into the Cradle Piledriver for the victory <O:p</O:p

Winner: Jerry Lynn in 9:34

 

Jeff Jarrett & Juventud Guerrera vs Buff Bagwell & Monty Brown

http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JeffJarrett2.jpg & http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/JuventudGuerrera2.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/BuffBagwell.jpg vs http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg518/rooney114/MontyBrown3.jpg

 

This match had a great crowd response and standard action in the ring, nothing too spectacular from any of the participants but still a good flow and match, the match was heavy on the brawling side which left Juventud to often be the punch bag for the faces early on, Jarrett regained control for the heels keeping his offence short and sweet making quick tags with Juventud, with Bagwell down he made a hot tag to Monty Brown who came in and delivered strong offence to Juventud hitting his bi moves, he had Juventud set up for the pounce, but he had made a tag to Jarrett who came in and instead executed the Stroke on Monty for the victory<O:p</O:p

Winners: Jeff Jarrett and Juventud Guerrera in 14:55

 

Post-Match Jeff Jarrett turns and attacks his ‘partner’ Juventud Guerrera he then grabs a microphone<O:p</O:p
