NWA:TNA An Alternate Reality

1 April 2001

The three largest wrestling companies in the US have dwindled down to one. The WWF's only competition, WCW and ECW, have both gone out of business leaving a gap in the market for a true alternative.

As one of the few employees not offered a contract by Vince McMahon, Jeremy Borash finds himself without a job, but not for long. Managing to negotiate some financial backing, he backs himself to own and book his own new wrestling promotion that could be a viable mainstream alternative to the WWF.

This is an alternative reality series so whilst so events may be inspired by what actually happened, I'm essentially going to be playing this series with what I've got. For those interest, I'm using The Death of WCW mod created by Genadi/The Mod Squad. My graphics are a combination of different picture packs I've acquired over the years so massive thanks to anyone who's contributed towards them over the years.

NWA: Total Nonstop Action #1 NWA: Total Nonstop Action #1 Wednesday Week 3, May 2001 Held at The University of Memphis (Tennessee) Attendance: 2,000 SOLD OUT! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45619" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> The opening video plays before the camera pans around the fans in attendance. We cut to the stage where some cheap looking pyro (we're making an effort) sets off before zooming in to two men stood by the stage with microphones in hand. <div style="text-align:center;">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Tenay%202.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jerry%20Lawler%201.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Bobby%20Heenan%202k.jpg Lawler: Welcome everybody to the first ever broadcast of NWA:TNA where we'll be bringing you some total, non-stop action. You're in for a treat as you'll be witnessing some history tonight! Speaking of which, allow me to introduce my esteemed broadcast partner, none other than the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan! Heenan: I'm not quite sure how I've ended up here but I've been offered a fair bit of money so let's see how we end up. Although I'm thinking this company might already be history if that pyro display is anything to go by... Lawler: And now let's head along to ringside with our play-by-play announcer for the evening; The Professor himself! Mr Mike Tenay. Tenay: Thank you very much Jerry for that very warm introduction. I'm absolutely thrilled to be invited here tonight and I think we've got a very special night coming up. As my broadcast colleagues make their way to join me, let's head to the ring with Jeremy Borash as we pay homage to some of the legends that have paved the way for us here tonight. The camera cuts to Jeremy Borash in the ring who announces a parade of legends who each make their way down one-by-one. We start with Lou Thesz, who waves as he walks down to the ring. He's followed by The Iron Shiek, who waddles on behind him. Terry Gordy jogs about behind him, followed closely by Terry Funk make idle small talk as they walk down together. John Tenta makes his way out next with a huge smile on his face as Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson of The Rock n Roll Express follow him out. Finally, there's a short pause before... Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat comes onto the stage and he's holding our shiny new NWA-TNA Heavyweight Championship with him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ricky%20Steamboat%202k2.jpg Steamboat: Thank you all for the kind reception. I'm holding the NWA-TNA Heavyweight Championship which we're going to see presented to a worthy competitor tonight! Our main event is going to be a 20-man battle royal with the winner being crowned the first ever NWA-TNA Heavyweight Championship! I've already been speaking with some of the guys in the back and they're very excited to... The Dragon is cut short mid-sentence by some unfamiliar music which plays. Before too long, Curt Hennig walks out onto the stage http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg Hennig: Thank you very much Ricky. I'd like to thank you for an excellent idea, however the problem is, that wouldn't be strictly true. Hennig starts walking down the ramp as he continues addressing the legends in the ring. Hennig: I have a much better idea; how about you do the right thing; hand me that title and announce me as the first ever NWA-TNA Champion. Or even better yet... Hennig has made in up to the apron and looks Steamboat directly in the eye. Hennig: Maybe I should just take it from you. Before the tension can escalate any higher, some heavy rock music plays as Rob Van Dam appears on the stage. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/RVD%2099.jpg RVD: Why don't you just hold your horses there, Hennig. I don't like the way you're treating those men who have paved the way for us being here tonight! I'm not a big fan of crowning a champion in a battle royal, in fact, I think the idea sucks. But that's only because I want to make sure that you're the one I eliminate to become this company's first every champion! The crowd cheer in anticipation as we cut to a video package advertising the weekly PPV format that will be NWA-TNA's signature. We come back for the very first match in NWA-TNA history! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Kid%20Kash%202.jpg VS http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Matt%20Sydal.jpg Kid Kash def. Matt Sydal This was a short but very high-paced match which starts the show off with a bang. Experience shows in the end as Kash is able to take advantage of a mistake by Sydal to pick up the victory. We switch backstage where we can see former ECW tag team Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger putting on the final pieces of their gear. There's a knock at the door as Dawn Marie enters. She looks them up and down as they both stand up and exit the room to make their way to the ring. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Simon%20Diamond.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Johnny%20Swinger.jpg VS http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jonny%20Storm.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jody%20Fleisch.jpg Diamond & Swinger (w/ Dawn Marie) def Jonny Storm & Jody Fleisch Experienced tag team Diamond & Swinger beat british high-flyers Jonny Storm & Jody Fleisch after a nice back-and-forth match in which the young imports eventually come up short. The camera cuts backstage where we see Curt Hennig pacing. He looks disgruntled whilst storming down a corridor. He comes across Shane Douglas who was walking the other way. The both stop in their tracks as Shane smirks at Hennig, nodding his head in acknowledgment, before walking back off on his way. The camera focuses on Hennig, who almost looks bemused. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Kevin%20Northcutt%202k1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Lance%20Hoyt.jpg VS http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mark%20Bell.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Bell%202k6.jpg Tough Love (Kevin Northcutt & Lance Hoyt) def. The Bell Brothers (Mark & Mike Bell) This match was short. Very short. Tough Love defeated the brothers Bell in what can only be described as an utter squash match. In fact, the only thing noteworthy about this match is that one of the Bells had particularly bad co-ordination and his timing was all off. A vignette starts playing with an industrial backdrop. There's red lighting everywhere which creates a sinister mood. Speaking of sinister, the camera moves upwards to reveal Father James Mitchell, who addresses the camera directly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/James%20Mitchell%203.jpg Mitchell: This little company of ours may have only just had it's birth but I've already had visions about it's demise. I see a fair few people running around with a care in the world. It doesn't make any odds to me, but don't come back to me later when you find yourself a harbinger for your own doom. In a world where we seem to have little consequences for our transgressions, I think it's about time we introduce some. Allow me to introduce you to... consequences. The camera moves slowly to the side where we see the abdomen of the person stood beside Mitchell the entire time. It slowly pans up to reveal a giant of a man with a black cross painted below his left eye and a grimace across his face. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Knox%202k1.jpg VS http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chase%20Stevens%201.jpg "Consequences" Mike Knox def. Chase Stevens This match is short, and thankfully so for poor Chase who gets nailed with some well-executed power moves. Chase almost gets something resembling a hope spot in but can't gain enough momentum to really make a difference. The arena is bathed in red light as Knox stands victorious after the match. Mitchell stands beside him, laughing maniacally at the camera. A graphic appears on screen showing a few of the wrestlers appearing the the battle royal main event. Names include Curt Hennig, Rob Van Dam, Monty Brown, Norman Smiley and the Vampire Warrior. The camera cuts backstage where we see Chase Stevens, a little worse for wear, limping towards the locker room with this heads in his hands. He runs into The Rock n Roll Express who give him a pat on the back and congratulate him for his efforts. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Tenay%202.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jerry%20Lawler%201.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Bobby%20Heenan%202k.jpg Tenay: It's time for our main event of the evening and we're about to crown our first ever NWA-TNA Heavyweight Champion! Lawler: I know Mike, I'm so excited I can't wait! Heenan: You don't have to, it's coming up now. Are you evening listening? Tenay: Let's go to Jeremy Borash in the ring for our first introductions. 20 Man Battle Royal for the NWA-TNA Heavyweight Championship http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jeremy%20Borash.jpg Borash: Ladies and gentleman, this is your main of the event of the evening. This is a 20 man battle royal where two men will start in the ring. Entrants will appear after 90 second intervals. To be eliminated you must be thrown over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor. The last man remaining will be crowned the NWA-TNA Heavyweight Champion! Entrant One http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Juventud%20Guerrera%202k1.jpg Juventud Guerrera Entrant Two http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Super%20Crazy%202.jpg Super Crazy We start off with two luchadores flying around the ring with some quick-paced action. It's not too long before the buzzers goes for our third entrant. Entrant Three http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chris%20Harris%202k1.jpg Chris Harris Harris comes running out with youthful exuberance. It works in his favour as he managers to eliminate Super Crazy. Super Crazy has been eliminated! Entrant Four: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Marc%20Mero%207.jpg Marc Mero Mero comes down and throws a flurry of punches but nothing else of much note. Entrant Five: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Apolo.jpg Apolo Apolo enters the ring and starts throwing everyone around with power moves. In the process, he eliminates Marc Mero. Marc Mero has been eliminated! Entrant Six: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chaz%20Warrington.jpg Chaz Chaz comes to the ring and hits a couple of signature spots. In the meantime, Chris Harris gets eliminated by Juventud. Chris Harris has been eliminated! Entrant Seven: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Thrasher%202.jpg Smasher Smasher comes in to join his partner Chaz using double team moves to gain an advantage. They manage to eliminate Juvi using this method. Juventud has been eliminated! However, with theirs backs turned, Apolo runs up from behind and eliminates them both! Chaz has been eliminated! Smasher has been eliminated! Apolo is left all alone in the ring as he awaits the next entrant. Entrant Eight: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Nelson%20Knight.jpg Nelson Knight The big 500-pounder Nelson Knight slowly makes his way to the ring as Apolo paces in anticipation. The two big men meet in the middle of the ring but even Apolo is dwarfed by Knight! Apolo struggles to get the big man off his feet but does manage to push him back towards the ropes. Entrant Nine http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Monty%20Brown.jpg Monty Brown The energetic Monty spints to the ring to help Apolo in his efforts with the gigantic Nelson Knight. Knight tries his best to fight them both off but ultimately succumbs. Nelson Knight has been eliminated! Apolo and Brown face off befre locking up with neither man gaining an advantage. Entrant Ten: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Disco%20Inferno%202.jpg Disco Inferno Disco enters the ring with the two men still jostling for position. Naturally, Inferno decides this is the perfect time to start dancing. This gets the attention of Brown & Apolo, who make short work of throwing Disco over the top rope. Disco Inferno has been eliminated! Brown & Apolo go back to locking up. Entrant Eleven: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ernest%20Miller%2098.jpg Ernest Miller Ernest comes out his usual flamboyant self. The two big men are still locked up in the ring as he enters, so Miller continues shuffling his feet as he plays to the crowd. Not learning his lesson from the man before him, Apolo & Brown take exception to this and throw him straight out. Ernest Miller has been eliminated! Apolo and Brown start trading punches back and forth as the clock ticks down. Entrant Twelve: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/James%20Storm%202k1.jpg James Storm The blue chipper James Storm makes his way to the ring. Unlike the two men before him, he fares much better and puts up much more of a fight. Unfortunately though, the other two are just too much for Storm and he unfortunately gets sent flying over the top rope. James Storm has been eliminated! Entrant Thirteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Gangrel.jpg Vampire Warrior w/ Luna Vachon Vampire Warrior comes jogging to the ring. He originally appears to be overwhelmed facing the two men already in the ring. This time however, Luna is on hand to offer support and does a good job distracting Apolo, and then Monty, allowing her man to again an advantage. Warrior manages to land enough offense to break the momentum of the two big men. Entrant Fourteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Sonny%20Siaki.jpg Sonny Siaki The impressive looking Siaki makes his way to the ring and gets upper hand over the three men already inside. He hits a good mixture of solid power moves with flashy high-flying abilities and looks very impressive in the process. He's just cut off by Warrior before he's able to eliminate Apolo. Entrant Fifteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ray%20Leppan.jpg Ray Leppan The tall Ray Leppan looks impressive in the early goings but isn't able to gain enough momentum to eliminate any of the other competitors. Entrant Sixteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg Curt Hennig The ring starts filling up as Hennig takes pot shots at everyone in there. He dispatches a couple guys with pitch-perfect Perfectplexes. With everyone down, he picks up a vulnerable Ray Leppan and throws him over the top. Ray Leppan has been eliminated! Entrant Seventeen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Norman%20Smiley%2098.jpg Norman Smiley The ever popular Norman Smiley comes out taking everybody down with clotheslines. He tries to catch an unaware Curt Hennig with a big wiggle who manages to slither away just in time. In the mean time, Apolo & Monty are still facing off on the other side of the ring and their match-long rivalry comes to a head as Monty is able to over-power Apolo and send him crashing to the outside! Apolo has been eliminated! Entrant Eighteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Carly%20Colon%202.jpg Carly Colon Carly runs to the ring attacking everyone with dropkicks. He's just about to eliminate Hennig who is able to use his experience to counter and send Carly over the top. Curt however is unaware that Carly has managed to hold on, and he skins the cat to find his way back into the ring. He catches an off-guard Hennig with a clothesline from behind as the clock ticks down. Entrant Nineteen: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/RVD%2099.jpg Rob Van Dam RVD comes out on-fire, throwing punches and kicks left, right and centre. Eventually, the two men left standing are Hennig and RVD himself. Hennig slides under the bottom rope as Van Dam goes to give chase. In the meantime, Colon tries to take advantage of the situation by throwing RVD over! Van Dam recovers just in time to reverse the attempt and throw Carly over the top instead. Carly Colon has been eliminated! With RVD's back turned, Hennig seizes the opportunity to try and throw RVD over, who is able to hold on and rolls gratefully back into the ring as the clock ticks down. Entrant Twenty: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Shane%20Douglas%207.jpg "The Franchise" Shane Douglas Douglas makes his way to the ring as everyone keeps fighting in the ring. As soon he slides in, Douglas takes advantage of a vulnerable Norman Smiley to throw him over the top from behind! Norman Smiley has been eliminated! Each man takes a different corner as we're down to the final four: Shane Douglas, Curt Hennig, Rob Van Dam & Monty Brown. RVD goes after Douglas and Hennig goes after Monty as they brawl on opposite sides of the ring. RVD whips Douglas over the tope rope and manages to hold on. However, Van Dam is right on top as he clotheslines him onto the apron and he rolls off. Shane Douglas has been eliminated! The Franchise has a tantrum on the floor as Hennig throws Monty over the top. Brown keeps hold but Hennig pounds away at Monty's grip until he can't hold on any longer and falls to the outside. Monty Brown has been eliminated! The final two men, Rob Van Dam and Curt Hennig, start circling each other as the crowd get to their feet. We're seconds away from history as both men jockey each other towards the ropes. Their momentum sends them both flying over the top rope but they both land on the apron. Both men get to their feet and start chopping each other, trying to knock the other man off. Hennig is tiring and RVD looks to be getting the upper hand when, out of nowhere, Shane Douglas pops up out of nowhere to pull RVD down. Van Dam stumbles to the outside as the bell rings. RVD has been eliminated! Hennig surveys the scene and realises he's the last one remaining. His music starts playing as he stumbles back into the ring in exhaustion. Douglas smirks as he backs off to the top of the ramp to survey the scene from afar. Borash: The winner of the 20-man battle royal, and your first ever NWA-TNA Heavyweight Champion.. Curt Hennig! Steamboat walks past the stage and down the ramp with the NWA-TNA Heavyweight Championship belt in hand, giving Douglas a disapproving look on his way past. Steamboat enters the ring and hands the title belt to Hennig, who demands Steamboat put it around his waist. RVD is starting to stumble to his feet as he realises what's just happened. Hennig celebrates gratuitously in the ring as RVD's focus switches from Hennig towards Douglas on the ramp. Douglas applauds Hennig the stage and gives RVD a shrug as he heads backstage. The show ends with some signature cheap-looking pyro falling from the ceiling as Hennig celebrates with his newly-won championship belt. </div></div></blockquote>

The rumble was surprisingly fun to write (and totally not difficult to keep track of where everybody was).

I'm glad to see Henning where he belongs - I may as well just stop here!

Nobby_McDonald · July 16, 2018

Interesting to see Curt Hennig as your first champion.

The cool thing about this database is that a lot of the WCW stars are unavailable at the start which is forcing me into trying new things.

Behind The Mat

<div style="text-align:center;">Behind The Mat.com - BREAKING NEWS!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/NWA%20TNA.jpg</div>

We saw the debut of a new promotion this Wednesday with NWA: Total Nonstop Action. Only time will tell if this upstart company will fill the void left by the recent closures of WCW & ECW. Critically the show got mixed reviews although the first viewing figures are rumoured to be less than stellar.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Bell%202k6.jpg</div>

In other news Mike Bell, one half of the Bell Brothers tag team that worked the event, has already been released by NWA:TNA according to our sources. Insiders say this behaviour backstage was questionable and, whilst we don't know for certain, rumours are circulating that he was intoxicated on either drugs or alcohol during his match.

There's also rumoured to be some heat from management towards his brother Mark Bell. Whilst Mark was reportedly sober, NWA:TNA higher-ups are less than pleased that he didn't report his brother's behaviour. We'll have to see if Mark Bell features again for the company in the coming weeks although our sources say he remains under contract at this time.

Curt Hennig! Curt Hennig's music hits as the NWA:TNA Champion walks out onto the stage with the title belt around his waist. He heads down the ramp holding his signature white towel around his neck. He enters the ring and asks for a microphone. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/curt-hennig" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg</a> Hennig: There's been a lot of things that I'm proud to have accomplished in my career, but I've finally removed the one asterisk from my CV.. I've finally been added to the list of men who have been recognised as a World Champion! Bobby Heenan can be heard chiming in over the commentary headset. Heenan: I guess we're not counting the AWA then. Hennig continues with a glaring grin on his face. Hennig: Now this is the part where I should start to list the people I want to thank, but the reality is there's nobody I should thank except myself...

The young blue chippers show a lot of fire but come up just a little short. The camera cuts backstage where we see Ray Leppan leaning against the coffee machine, cup in hand, talking to a crew member backstage. Suddenly, none other than Norman Smiley walks into shot.

Smiley: Y'know, I saw you in the battle royal last week. You got some potential there, kid. But it's your attitude that stood out the most. Make sure you don't lose that. Leppan: Thank you very much, Mr Smiley. Leppan smiles in appreciation as Norman shakes his head. Smiley: Please, call me Norman. Both Leppan and Smiley nod in aprovement as Norman carries back on down the corridor.

A bit too long to be considered a squash, this match is decidedly one-sided. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Alicia%20Webb%202.jpg Alicia is backstage with a microphone in hand trying to interview Rob Van Dam. She tries her best to keep up with him, but RVD is intent on storming off. Eventually Van Dam turns round to address both Alicia and the camera. RVD: You know what Shane Douglas? I might have left you off the hook after last week. But interfering in my business two weeks in a row? Even you must now I'm not laid back enough for that... and I'm not waiting around. I want you tonight, Shane! Before Alicia is able to ask a follow-up, RVD turns back off and storms down the rest of the corridor on his own. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/sonny-siaki" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Sonny%20Siaki.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/sonny-siaki" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Carly%20Colon%202.jpg</a> We got to a pre-taped vignette highlighting NWA:TNA's newest tag team, The Islanders.

Jody Fleisch & Jonny Storm Much like last week, the team of Northcutt & Hoyt make short work of their opponents. Fleisch & Storm do a much better job of holding their own and manage to hit some flashy high-flying moves before ultimately succumbing to the much bigger men. We cut to a match graphic promoting our main event this evening: Shane Douglas vs. Rob Van Dam! It looks like RVD has got his wish. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Simon%20Diamond.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Johnny%20Swinger.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Dawn%20Marie%203.jpg</a> When we come back, the camera cut backstage where we see a slightly worse for wear looking Storm & Fleisch make their way back to the locker-room. As they do so, they walk past the team of Diamond & Swinger, who slow clap sarcastically as Dawn Marie looks at them in disgust. Storm & Fleisch shake their heads as they walk straight past them. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/super-crazy" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Super%20Crazy%202.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/kid-kash" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Kid%20Kash%202.jpg</a> Kid Kash def. Super Crazy Kid Kash picks up the win in what is probably the match of the night. This is a good back-and-forth match between two experienced cruiserweights. The match ends when Super Crazy misses a third moonsault allowing the wiley Kash to take advantage. It's almost time for our main event but before we do, we see a recap of the events 'last week' where RVD and Hennig battle on the apron before Shane Douglas costs Van Dam the title by pulling him down to the floor. We also see a clip from earlier tonight where Douglas took out RVD from behind. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/rob-van-dam" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/RVD%2099.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/shane-douglas" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Shane%20Douglas%207.jpg</a> Shane Douglas def. Rob Van Dam This is a great match-up between two men just about in their prime. It's the longest match, battle royal aside, that we've had so far in NWA:TNA. This hard-hitting contest comes to an end when Rob Van Dam, who seemingly has the upperhand, is about to hit the five-star frog splash when Curt Hennig comes out of nowhere to push him off the top rope. With the referee's attention turned towards getting Hennig out of the ringside area, Douglas takes the opportunity to hit Van Dam with a low blow before following up with his patended Franchiser finishing move. Tenay: What a dispicable way for this match to end, both Douglas and Hennig should be ashamed of themselves! Lawler: What would you know, Tenay? When you're competing in the ring, you've got to win by any means necessary. Tenay: These actions are not befitting of a champion. Heenan: As long as he's got the championship belt, it is. The show goes off the air with the announce team arguing back and forth as both Douglas & Hennig walk backwards up the ramp. Hennig throws the NWA:TNA championship over his shoulder as he raises Shane's hand in victory. Van Dam sits up in the ring and looks over at them in disgust as the show fades to black. </div></div></blockquote>

My name is Mike Tenay and I'm joined by my esteemed broadcaster partner Jerry Lawler. Lawler: Thanks Tenay! And sat next to me is a man who needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway: the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan: Has anyone ever told you two you look alike? Lawler: I dont know what you mean? Heenan: Nevermind. Tenay: Now let's head straight to the ring for our opening contest. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/apolo" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Apolo.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/vampire-warrior" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Gangrel.jpg</a> Apolo def. Vampire Warrior (w/ Luna Vachon) The young powerhouse gets out of the blocks early and dominates most of the early stages. Warrior manages to get back into the swing of things using his experienced know-how and, of course, his partner at ringside. Eventually however, Apolo manages to string an impressive series of moves together to get the pinfall. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Simon%20Diamond.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Johnny%20Swinger.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Dawn%20Marie%203.jpg</a> We cut backstage where we see the team of Diamond & Swinger hanging out with their manager Dawn Marie.

They walk past their locker-room rivals to pick up some bottles of water which are laid out on a table against the wall. Diamond, Swinger & Marie fall silent as they attempt (unsuccessfully) to stifle their laughter. Storm & Fleisch pick up their water and turn back round to leave, as Diamond, Swinger & Marie erupt into fits of laughter again. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/ray-leppan" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ray%20Leppan.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/mark-bell" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mark%20Bell.jpg</a> Ray Leppan def. Mark Bell This might've gone on longer than your average squash match, but don't let that fool you; this was effectively one-sided. Mark struggles to get any offense in (I wonder who he pissed off) as the rookie manages to defeat him handily. After the match, Leppan can be see walking backstage when he comes across Norman Smiley. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/norman-smiley" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Norman%20Smiley%2098.jpg</a> Smiley: That's the stuff, kid!

Leppan grins from ear-to-ear, obviously honoured at the invitation. Leppan: Absolutely, lead the way Mr Smiley. The veteran shakes his head. Smiley: Please, call me Norman.

With the two men left to their own devices, Siaki hits the Siakalypse Now on Simon Diamond for the win. The Islanders celebrate in the ring as we cut to a match graphic promoting our main event for tonight: Rob Van Dam vs. Curt Hennig for the NWA:TNA Heavyweight Championship! <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/purgatory" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Knox%202k1.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/scoot-andrews" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Scoot%20Andrews%202k1.jpg</a> "Consequences" Mike Knox (w/ Father James Mitchell) def.

Following the match, Andrew rolls out of the ring leaving "Consequences" Mike Knox stood tall, with Father James Mitchell stood by his side as the ring is shrouded in an ominous red light. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/lenny-lane" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Lenny%20Lane%203.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/monty-brown" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Monty%20Brown.jpg</a> Monty Brown def. Lenny Lane This match is much more even than the last one, although that's admittedly not saying much. Ultimately though, Brown's powerful mix of strength, speed and energy is simply too much for Lenny who loses the match after being hit with a hard-hitting Pounce out of nowhere. The only thing note-worthy about this match is what happened before it; as Monty was making his entrance to the ring, the camera cut backstage where we could see Nelson Knight who appeared to be watching on with a keen interest. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-moshpit-1" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chaz%20Warrington.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-moshpit-1" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Thrasher%202.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/americas-most-wanted" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chris%20Harris%202k1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/americas-most-wanted" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/James%20Storm%202k1.jpg</a> America's Most Wanted (Harris & Storm) def. The MoshPit (Chaz & Smasher) This is a match of two halves as AMW come flying out of the gate, gaining the upperhand early on. The experience of Chaz & Smasher pays dividends however as they use several tag team moves to great effect. Eventually though, it's James Storm who's able to get a quick roll-up pin on an unaware Chaz, much to The MoshPit's frustration. Following the match, Harris & Storm celebrate their shock win as The MoshPit look on in disbelief. As this unfolds, a shadowy figure appears on the stage. Once they step out into the light fully it becomes clear that it's none other than the Queen of Extreme, Francine! <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/francine/" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Francine%203.jpg</a> Francine appears to like what she sees as she smiles and nods her head in approval. All four mean in the ring look at each other in confusion as they try to work out what Francine has in mind. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/rob-van-dam" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/RVD%2099.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/curt-hennig" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg</a> Before the match, RVD makes his usual entrance. However, as Curt comes out onto the stage with his NWA:TNA Heavyweight Championship, he also has a microphone in his hand. Hennig: Now I know this match has been announced as a championship match... well I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not quite going to go down like that. Hennig continues walking down the ramp as he speaks. Hennig: Despite the excuses you try to make, Van Dam, your win-loss record isn't looking to great in this company. To be honest, I feel like a 100% loss record isn't quite deserving of a title opportunity. Tenay is aghast on commentary. Tenay: I'm not quite sure that's telling the whole picture here. Hennig slowly walks up the ring steps as he continues. Hennig: I'm afraid it's not going to work like that around here, and so this match is going to be a non-title match! As Hennig drops the microphone and enters the ring, RVD shakes his head but ultimately shrugs his shoulders as he gets ready to go to battle. RVD vs. Hennig ends in a No Contest In what was undoubtedly the match of the night, this match starts off slow before building to a dramatic crescendo. RVD and Hennig are both able to hit finishers on each other during the course of the match. RVD looks like he's about to win the match after hitting a Five Star Frog Splash but Shane Douglas appears to pull the referee out of the ring. RVD is able to get revenge straight away as he attacks Shane Douglas, throwing him first into the barricade, then into the ringpost, before hitting a DDT onto the arena floor with unsurprisingly keeps Douglas lying down. Hennig however has been able to recover in the meantime and is able to catch RVD from behind and throw him into the barricade. He then manages to take him over it with a perfectly-placed clothesline. At this stage, the two men start brawling around the building, much to the delight of the sold-out crowd. However, their attention is so focused on one another that they don't notice the referee has regained conciousness and miss his ten count. As a result, the ref calls for the bell and declares the match a no contest. RVD looks over to the referee from the crowd and shakes his head in disbelief. He doesn't stay distracted for long as he turns his focus back to Hennig. The two men continue brawling to the point where security have to come back out to break them up. The show goes off the air among utter chaos as around a dozen men try to keep RVD & Hennig apart. </div> </div></blockquote>

All three worked together to blow the roof of the place with fast-paced high-energy action.

I've travelled the length adn breadth of this country to find the premier athelete and next big thing in profressional wrestling. And guess what ladies and gentlemen; I think I've found him.

Lenny Lane & Mark Bell To nobody's surprise, the makeshift team of Mark & Lenny don't have enough between them to do what nobody else could do; stop the dominant Northcutt & Hoyt from picking up the win. We go backstage where we see Alicia with a microphone in hand. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Alicia%20Webb%202.jpg Alicia: Allow me to introduce at this time, Jody Fleisch & Jonny Storm.

What are your thoughts about the comments they've made about you? Jonny Storm steps up to the mic first. Storm: Diamond... Swinger.. you've had a lot to say about us and quite frankly, you should probably keep your noses out of our business because I'd have no problem knocking it out of joint, ain't that right Jody? Fleisch: Absolutely. I seem to remember you guys laughing at us losing to Tough Love under 3 minutes. That's not great, but what would be worse? Storm: Losing to them in 2? Fleisch: My god; now that would be embarrassing.. Both Storm & Fleisch give the camera a knowing smirk before walking off. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/monty-brown" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Monty%20Brown.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/purgatory" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Knox%202k1.jpg</a> Monty Brown def. 'Consequences' Mike Knox (w/ Father James Mitchell) Unlike Monty's previous match, this was a goo back and forth match between two big men. Despite Mitchell's attempts at getting involved, Monty Brown is able to pick up the win with a well-timed Pounce. Following the match, Monty is walking backstage. Everything is silent apart from a slow hand clap that can be heard in the distance. Monty turns round to see the man giving that to him is the gargantuan Nelson Knight. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/nelson-knight" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Nelson%20Knight.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/monty-brown" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Monty%20Brown.jpg</a> Monty looks slightly unnerved as Nelson stares at him with a creepy looking smile.

Vampire Warrior (w/ Luna Vachon) This was a surprisingly good match which was way better than it had any right to me. The experience Warrior takes some shortcuts to gain an advantage but Van Dam is ready for just about everything that's thrown at him. He eventually picks up the win with a Five Star Frog Splash. Following the match, Vampier Warrior rolls out of the ring looking dejected. RVD looks like he's got something to say and picks up a microphone. Van Dam: Douglas! Hennig! You can watch each other's backs all you want. I don't care. I'll fight the both of you. Next week, I want both you of in a handicap match! The crowd cheer in appreciate of the sheer courage shown by RVD. He slams the microphone to the mat as he storms off backstage. Speaking of which, the camera cuts backstage where Luna is trying to comfort Warrior, who still looks down following his loss. They're distracted by a loud noise which causes them both to look up. We see an ominous red glow coming from behind a door which is slightly ajar. Both Vampire Warrior and Luna look at each other as Warrior cautiously approaches the door. He slowly opens it although we can't see what's on the other hand. Whoever it is, Vampire looks them up and down before going all the way in. Luna follows closely behind as the door shuts behind them. The camera zooms in as the erie red light leaks from underneath the doorframe. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/tnaworld.jpg NWA:TNA Heavyweight Championship <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/curt-hennig" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/juventud-guerrera" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Juventud%20Guerrera%202k1_1.jpg</a> Juventud makes his way to the ring and soaks in the adulation of the crowd, who seem well up for seeing the NWA:TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended for the first time. The champion Curt Hennig follows, parading the title belt as he comes out. Tenay: So he refused to defend the title last week but willing to this week? Give me a break. Hennig is followed closely behind by Shane Douglas, who accompanies the man he's had the back of since the first show. Curt Hennig def. Juventud Guerrera This match starts off hot, with Juventud using his speed advantage to run circles around the defending champion. After building up a fair bit of momentum, Hennig uses his veteran experience to cut him off. After leading the majority of the match from there, Juvi starts getting back into it after Hennig starts getting cocky. Juvi starts getting back in to the mach before Douglas knocks him off the top rope. Tenay: That's exactly what happened to Van Dam last week! Following Shane's intervention, Hennig takes control and hits a Perfectplex and covers Guerrera for the 1-2-3. The bell rings as Hennig demands his title belt and raises it high into the air. Suddenly, none other than Rob Van Dam hits the ring through the audience and goes straight for Hennig who rolls straight out of the ring. Hennig & Douglas compose themselves and back off up the ramp. Van Dam remains livid in the ring, pointing at them both as the camera catches him saying 'I'll see you next week!'.</div> </div></blockquote>

We cut to the announcers at ringside. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Tenay%202.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jerry%20Lawler%201.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Bobby%20Heenan%202k.jpg Tenay: Welcome everybody to NWA: Total Nonstop Action. We have a very special broadcast for you tonight as we get to find out who the newly appointed Director of Authority is going to be. Lawler: That's right Tenay! I'm so excited, I can't wait! Heenan: It's about time we found out who's running this place. I'm long overdue a payrise. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/aj-styles" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/AJ%20Styles%201.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/matt-sydal" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Matt%20Sydal.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/low-ki" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Low%20Ki%202k1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/christopher-daniels" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Christopher_Daniels6.jpg</a> AJ Styles & Matt Sydal def. Low Ki & Christopher Daniels The opening contest is a great spectacle where all four men get to showcase their signature spots. Matt Sydal manages to take out both Daniels and Low Ki with a drive to the outside. He picks up Daniels and rolls him into the ring where AJ picks him up to finish him off with a Styles Clash. The camera cuts to what appears to be backstage. The scene is dark and gloomy, set against an industrial-looking background. The area is dimly lit apart from a single red light casting a shadow over four barely distinguishable figures. Vampire Warrior: I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean... We hear a maniacal laugh as Father James Mitchell steps into the shot, with 'Consequences' Mike Knox stood behind him. Father James Mitchell: The thing is, Mr Warrior, I've been watching your matches the past few weeks with great interest. It's clear to me that you've found yourself in a bit of a rut. You've got all the tools and experience you need, you've just struggled to put them together in the right order. Vampire Warrior, accompanied by Luna, listens keenly. Father James Mitchell: What you need to be willing to accept, is that you're stuck in limbo. Where you really should be however.. is in Purgatory... Mike Knox steps closer and without saying a word, sticks his hand towards Vampire Warrior. Warrior and Luna look at each other for a moment. Whilst they do so, Knox appears to get some sort of blade and uses it to make contact with his outstretched hand. Seeing this elicits a smile from Warrior who returns the favour and shakes it. Father James Mitchell goes back to laughing manically as Luna joins in shortly after. The scene slowly fades to black. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/diamond-swinger" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Simon%20Diamond.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/fleisch-storm" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jody%20Fleisch_1.jpg</a> Simon Diamond (w/ Dawn Marie) def. Jody Fleisch Despite the best efforts of Diamond, this is a back and forth match where neither man is able to keep momentum for long. The turning point comes when Fleisch has Simon pinned long enough for a 3 count. Unfortunately, Dawn Marie pulls the referee out of the ring before he's able to complete the count. This prompts the referee to eject Dawn from the ringside area. It's a bit to late however as Diamond hits Jody with a low blow whilst the referee isn't looking before following up with a Simonizer. The camera moves backstage where we see a close-up of the NWA:TNA Heavyweight Championship which is neatly set up on a table. As the camera pans backwards, we see Curt Hennig and Shane Douglas deep in conversation in their private dressing room. Hennig: I don't know Shane, I've got a bad feeling about this... Douglas shrugs his shoulders. Douglas: He's just riled up, that's all. Trust me, I know Rob quite well. He genuinely believes he can beat us both on his own. Hennig: I'm just worried he's got some trick up his sleeve... Douglas: Maybe he has... that just means we'll have to have one of our own... Douglas smirks although it's clear that Hennig remains unsettled about the whole situation. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/apolo" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Apolo.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/scoot-andrews" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Scoot%20Andrews%202k1.jpg</a> Apolo def. Scoot Andrews Everybody looks a tryer and, fair play to Scoot, he held in for much longer than most. Ultimately though, the power of Apolo was simply too much to overcome as he beats Andrews fairly comfortably. The camera cuts to a backstage gym area where Harris & Storm of America's Most Wanted are both working out. Their routine is stopped short by Francine who walks into the shot. Francine: Hello boys, I like what I saw from you two a couple of weeks ago. Harris & Storm exchanges looks, clearly unsure of how to respond. Storm: Thanks, I suppose. Harris: What exactly is the reason you've been following us around recently? Francine: That's exactly the reason I came down here to talk to you guys... Harris & Storm put down their weights as Francine steps in closer to speak to them. They start a discussion which we can't hear as the camera starts fading to black. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/juventud-guerrera" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Juventud%20Guerrera%202k1_1.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/kid-kash" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Kid%20Kash%202.jpg</a> Juventud Guererra def. Kid Kash This non-stop back and forth match is potentially up there in terms of the most exciting matches we've had in NWA:TNA's short history. Juventud is on the offensive straight away, as if he's got a point to prove after a couple of disappointing weeks. He manages to nail a 450 splash to hand Kid Kash his first singles loss in NWA:TNA. Following the match we cut to ringside where the broadcast team are discussing what's coming up next. Heenan: What an exciting match we've just witnessed! Tenay: That's some of the in-ring action that's typical of what you can expect from us going forward. Up next though, we're about to find out who the Director of Authority is going to be! Jerry Lawler stands up from the announce table with a microphone in hand. Lawler: Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment we've all been waiting for. Please welcome, the Director of Authority for NWA:TNA! The crowd goes quiet as they anticipate who it might be. The silence is broken by the familar drumming and bagpipes that can mean only one person. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/roddy-piper/" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Roddy%20Piper%2011.jpg</a> Roddy Piper walks out onto the stage to a massive ovation. Piper: That's right, folks! I've been appointed as the Director of Authority for this place! The ovation continues for the all-time legend. Piper: Now I'm not entirely sure why I've been chosen... I can't say I've been known for my good judgement or sound decision making. The one thing I can do however is keep people in check! The crowd cheer again- they're going absolutely mental for Roddy! Piper: And to start off my new career, I'd like to make a little announcement. We've already got ourselves an NWA:TNA Champion.. but we have got a title to recognise some of the brilliant tag teams we seem to have in this company. With that being said, we're going to be having a 16 team tournament to crown our first ever Tag Team Champions! The crowd cheer in approval of the announcement. Piper: Not only that... but all eight first round matches will take place live on next week's show! The cheers get louder as an audible 'Tag Team Wrestling' chant develops. Piper: I'm glad you all approve. I'll be seeing you around. Hopefully you won't have to see me too often but, rest assured, I'm not afraid to step in if the situations calls for it... and that includes you Douglas & Hennig! Piper's music plays again as he gestures to the crowd and returns backstage. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/shane-douglas" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Shane%20Douglas%207.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/curt-hennig" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/rob-van-dam" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/RVD%2099.jpg</a> Curt Hennig & Shane Douglas def. Rob Van Dam Van Dam does well in the early going to keep control of the match despite the numerical disadvantage. During the early stages, Hennig in particuar sees to be acting rather paranoid, constantly looking over his shoulder and around the arena, convinced RVD has something up his sleeve. Eventually however, Hennig & Douglas are able to outlast RVD, who gets gradually worn down as the two men are able to tag in and out to keep each other fresh. RVD battles vailantly but is ultimately undone when hit with successive finishers by both Hennig & Douglas. Following the match, Douglas & Hennig continue their beatdown on RVD when a familiar face sprints onto the rage and down the ramp before sliding into the ring. Hennig & Douglas escape immediately as they clearly have no intention of engaging with him. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/sabu/" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Sabu%201.jpg</a> Lawler: Hold on a second, I know him! Heenan: Glad to see you're finally doing your homework then. Tenay: That's Sabu! Sabu has come to NWA:TNA to save his old friend Rob Van Dam! Heenan: Why has he only just come out when the match is over? Lawler: This must be Van Dam's back-up plan! Tenay: From what I know about RVD, he will have wanted to try and win the match by himself, but he clearly didn't trust Hennig & Douglas to play by the rules! Sabu helps Van Dam to his feet as they stare down both Douglas & Hennig, who both look like they've seen a ghost! RVD drops down to one knee as Sabu paces back and forth frenetically. He looks as though he's about to give chase to Hennig & Douglas but RVD is able to convince him to stay. That doesn't stop the two men from hastening their exit as soon as they can. </div> </div></blockquote>

I looks just fine, as it screams 2001 in my face. lol. I like it anyways. Don't worry about it.

Winner should be, oh man- "Diamond & Swinger", I know I am wrong in every way. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Low Ki & Christopher Daniels It could be argued that this was the match of the night, if not in the promotion's short history. These two teams put on an absolute barnstormer of a match, with everyone pulling out all the stops to create an absolute spectacle. The camera cuts backstage to a pre-taped vignette. We see a red light illuminating an industrial background. The camera starts zoomed in on the unmistakable face of Father James Mitchell and zooms out to reveal a stoic 'Consequences' Mike Knox, a grinning Vampire Warrior and a slightly distracted Luna Vachon. Father James Mitchell: I try to live my life as a good man whilst taking on the devil's bidding; I don't see why they can't be mutually compatible. I've made it my life's mission to collect lost souls, trapped in purgatory, and guide them in the right direction. Men like 'Consequencnes' Mike Knox.. The camera turns to Knox who snarls at the camera Father James Mitchell: Like the Vampire Warrior.. The camera turns to Warrior and grins as it gets close. Father James Mitchell: And women like the delectable Luna.. Luna's manic eyes dart around, paying little attention to what's going on around her. Father James Mitchell: It's all well and good guiding people towards the darkness but ultimately, there needs to be some sort of confirmation that the path they're taking is the right one. Tonight, we get to take our first step in that direction. Consequences and Warrior get to enter the Tag Team Title tournament and what greater confirmation can you get... than becoming NWA:TNA World Tag Team Champions? Mitchell breaks into a maniacal laugh and is soon joined by both Warrior & Luna. Knox remains deadly still and slightly, staring intensely into the camera, as it gradually fades to black. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/purgatory" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Mike%20Knox%202k1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/vampire-warrior" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Gangrel.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/apolo" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Apolo.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/monty-brown" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Monty%20Brown.jpg</a> Purgatory (Mike Knox & Vampire Warrior w/ James Mitchell & Luna) def. Apolo & Monty Brown Knox & Warrior try their best to keep up however Apolo & Brown take control, showing glimpses of the effective teamwork they displayed during the battle royal from the first show. The finish comes when Nelson Knight comes out to distract Monty, leaving Apolo alone with both Knox & Warrior. Following the match, the ring is covered in a deep red light as Father James Mitchell laughs maniacally. We can see Monty staring up at Nelson who's remained at the top of the ramp. Meanwhile, Apolo sits up and looks at Monty in disbelief. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/tough-love" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Kevin%20Northcutt%202k1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/tough-love" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Lance%20Hoyt.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/juventud-guerrera" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Juventud%20Guerrera%202k1_1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/super-crazy" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Super%20Crazy%202.jpg</a> Tough Love (Northcutt & Hoyt) def. Juventud Guerrerra & Super Crazy In an outcome that most people wouldn't have seen coming, Juvi & Crazy led most of the match using their speed and high-flying abilities to keep control. In the end, the two big men are able to take the lead and pick up the win in their most hard fought match to date. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/ernest-miller" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ernest%20Miller%2098.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/disco-inferno" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Disco%20Inferno%202.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-sat" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Joel%20Maximo.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-sat" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Jose%20Maximo.jpg</a> Ernest Miller & Disco Inferno def. The SAT (Joel & Jose Maximo) The debutant Maximos put on a good showing, taking charge early to overwhlem the more experienced Miller & Inferno. Taken off-guard, Miller & Inferno pull together to pull out the victory, much to the displeasure of the crowd who wanted to see the young upstarts pick up the win. The camera cuts backstage where we see Juventud & Super Crazy dressing down in the locker-room after their match. Both men are undoing their wrist tape although Super Crazy looks more dejected than Juvi after their match. It's tough to hear what they're saying through their heavy accents although the camera can just about pick up what they're trying to say. Super Crazy: I'm sorry man I don't know what to say Juvi: It's ok, it's ok. Don't worry about the result we got the right heart and that's all that matters Super Crazy: It's just.. Juvi: Us guys we've got to stick together Super Crazy: I know but.. Juvi: Together. Super Crazy nods in acknowledgment as they go back to undoing their wrist tape. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-moshpit-1" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chaz%20Warrington.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/the-moshpit-1" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Thrasher%202.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/norman-smiley" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Norman%20Smiley%2098.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/ray-leppan" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Ray%20Leppan.jpg</a> The MoshPit (Chaz & Thrasher) def. Norman Smiley & Ray Leppan Veterean team Chaz & Thrasher manage to separate the young Leppan from his partner, until all their hard work goes to waste when he can tag in the fresh Norman Smiley. Leppan makes a rookie mistake when he tags himself back in without Smiley knowing. He naively steps into a double-team move from The MoshPit who cover him for the win. Following the match Leppan cuts a frustrated figure, clearly aware it was his midjudgement that led to their loss. Norman takes it in his stride as he consoles Leppan who's sat in the middle of the ring. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/americas-most-wanted" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Chris%20Harris%202k1.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/americas-most-wanted" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/James%20Storm%202k1.jpg</a> VS <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/curt-hennig" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Curt%20Hennig%209.jpg</a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-660209063/shane-douglas" rel="external nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/kinealg/Shane%20Douglas%207.jpg</a> America's Most Wanted (Harris & Storm w/ Francine) def. Curt Hennig & Shane Douglas This was a match between a team everybody knows and a team a lot of people hadn't heard of, and it was fully deserving of it's main event status. Hennig & Douglas dominate both of the match with Harris & Storm using some expertly executed tag team moves to get back into the swing of things. James Storm looks like he has the match won after hitting Curt Hennig with the Eye of the Storm but Shane Douglas is in just in time to break up the three count. Douglas then takes the opportunity to blindside the referee, opening up an opportunity to double-team the vulnerable James Storm. Before they can do so, Sabu appears on the stage as Hennig & Douglas both look like they've seen a ghost. As their backs are turned, Rob Van Dam runs in from behind to take them both out with a steel chair. RVD turns his attention to getting the referee back up as Harris & Storm recover enough to hit Shane Douglas with their patented Death Sentence finisher. The referee slides in... 1..2..3! America's Most Wanted score the upset over Hennig & Douglas. Following the match, America's Most Wanted make their escape once they see the looks on the faces of Douglas & Hennig. In the meantime, RVD & Sabu jump up on the ring apron to stare down their rivals. As they do so, our Director of Authority Roddy Piper appears on the stage. Piper: Now, now, now.. this is the reason we can't have nice things round here. I give you a lovely little tournament and you have to go and ruin it. Piper bows his head and sighs into his hands Piper: This sort of situation is exactly the reason I was brought in here, and I guess it's my problem to solve. That's why our main event next week is going to be Curt Hennig & Shane Douglas teaming up against Rob Van Dam and Sabu. It's time to settle this one as men. Having said his piece, Piper returns backstage as the camera focuses on the four men in the ring. Douglas & Hennig look slightly unnerved whilst RVD & Sabu look ready for war.</div> </div></blockquote>
