TNA iMPACT! #21 Preview

CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Wednesday, Week 1, July 2004

 

WOOOOOOOOO!

 

The road to No Surrender passes through Flair Country as iMPACT comes to Charlotte, North Carolina for the first time. In the main event, Diamond Dallas Page makes his TNA in-ring debut against Ron “The Truth” Killings. DDP has promised to teach Ron some humility after his remarks last week whilst Killings is determined to prove that wrestling is a young man’s game. What will happen when these two stars collide inside the Grady Cole Center?

 

Elsewhere tonight, we’ll hear from the Big League for the first time since Jeff Jarrett emerged victorious at the 2nd Anniversary Show. Will he rub in his victory? Or will the group humbly concede their tag team defeat to America’s Most Wanted?

 

Speaking of AMW, a four way elimination shootout will determine the #1 Contenders for their TNA World Tag Team Championships at No Surrender and we’re hearing rumours that there will be an announcement in the Knockouts Division. All this, and more on TNA iMPACT!

We open the show with Big League making their entrance,

Jeff Jarrett

at the front with

Don Callis

,

Kanyon

and

Mike Awesome

following behind. They weren’t here last week because although Double J emerged victorious at the 2nd Anniversary Show, they weren’t able to take home championship gold and the “Consultant” needed time to get them back on the same page. Mike Awesome is still pissed but that’s okay, he’s going to take it out on Apolo tonight!

 

Kanyon takes the microphone next and says he heard what DDP had to say last week. It’s true that Chris has new friends now, better friends than Page ever was…

”The Jersey Triad is dead and buried, bada bang move on sucker!”

 

Jeff Jarrett laughs, he played Roddy Piper like the acoustic equaliser. He’s TNA Wrestling’s answer to Cicero, he’s the master politician and he’s always one step ahead of everybody else. How does the old saying go?...

 

”Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions? That’s right, you can all see who’s in contro-”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mid-sentence, a hip-hop tune interrupts Double J and brings out

Savio Vega!

He’s got the rest of his clan with him, some veritable Puerto Rican Power!

 

He’ll make it quick. He’s had his issues with Double J since day one and he can hear Jeff Jarrett yapping on about Piper but does he know the match has already been made? He’s stunned that he knows something Jarrett does not, the Commissioner has already made it official hombre...

 

”Savio Vega versus Jeff Jarrett at No Surrender, NO HOLDS BARRED!”

Standard Singles Match

Apolo vs. Mike Awesome (w/Don Callis)

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

These two stuck around after the opening segment and both were able to get some ill feelings out of their system as they exchanged right hands and shoulder charges. These are two big dudes and Don West swore that he saw the ring move when Apolo sent Awesome crashing into the turnbuckles with a Hammer Throw. This turned into a battle of attrition and thanks to his deathmatch wrestling experience, Mike Awesome was able to better absorb punishment and come back swinging. After a big Lariat, he scooped Apolo over one shoulder and drove him into defeat courtesy of the Awesome Bomb.

 

</div>

 

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

But the big man wasn’t finished even after referee Andrew Thomas called for the bell.

Mike Awesome

continued his assault, stomping away at his defeated opponent

Apolo

before signalling to the top turnbuckle for the Awesome Splash…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But

Ricky Banderas

is here!

 

Apolo’s tag team partner in IWA hit the ring at a rate of knots, charging down the entrance ramp to save his friend from further punishment. Awesome initially decided to tangle with him and they exchanged right hands with one another but eventually “El Mesias” was too much to handle. Dropping down to the canvas, Awesome escaped under the bottom rope and nursed his now-sore jaw as he backed up the entrance ramp to fight another day.

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

Backstage, a Japanese man was standing by with the mystery masked assailant that attacked Dragon Kid several weeks ago. He introduced himself as

Ricky Fuji.

Years ago, the Kid quit his dojo and Fuji has been pursuing him ever since. When he found out that Dragon Kid had fled to the United States, he followed him here along with his greatest student, the

Somber Serpent!

Unlike the Kid, the Serpent passed all his trials and tribulations and he will show no mercy to anybody who fights him inside the squared circle.

Standard Singles Match

Dixie vs. Somber Serpent (w/Ricky Fuji)

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

This was a dominant performance by the Serpent, catching Dixie early on attempting a Hurricanrana and planting him with a Powerbomb. He took his time as he drove his boot into the face of his opponent in the corner and showed off his athleticism with a Slingshot Crossbody. After a Tilt-A-Whirl Facebuster, he could have picked up the victory but he decided to pull his opponent off the canvas and finish him off with the Package Piledriver. As the Serpent stood over his foe, the arena went dark. When the lights returned Dixie was nowhere to be seen.

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

An ominous watch but the Somber Serpent has laid down a marker with two easy victories on iMPACT so far. We cut to the locker room where

AJ Styles

is helping

Jason Cross

prepare for his match against Samoa Joe...

 

 

 

 

He motivates Cross through his squats, demanding more, grilling him that he needs to push himself further if he wants to beat the ‘Samoan Submission Machine’... he needs to want it more, dig deep!

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of a sudden,

Christopher Daniels

comes into the picture. Cross stands ready for battle but AJ tells him to back down because the ‘Fallen Angel’ is in slacks, a black cotton shirt and dress shoes. He’s not here for a fight, he and AJ went to a time limit draw last week but at No Surrender, there’s going to be no such luck for the ‘Phenomenal One’. Daniels has spoken to Commissioner Piper, he’ll see AJ in Texas when they compete in best Two Out Of Three Falls!

 

”That is, provided you don’t chicken out. I’ll give you some time to think about it AJ…”

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

As Glenn Gilbertti makes his entrance for the next match, Mike Tenay runs us through what we can expect next week on TNA iMPACT…

 

 

”Ultimo Dragon will make his TNA debut, that’s right, we have signed Ultimo Dragon!...

 

 

Jeff Hardy faces off against Scoot Andrews…

 

 

Veronica will face off against the young Beth Phoenix…

 

 

And the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting will be in action!”

Standard Singles Match

Ray Gonzalez vs. Glenn Gilbertti (w/Johnny Swinger & David Young)

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

Of all the Puerto Ricans that have been involved with TNA Wrestling, ‘Mr. Rayting’ is perhaps the most talented. His technical wrestling prowess combined with his slick footwork and upper body strength make him a formidable competitor and he dominates early on, pulling G.G. into some chain wrestling he is ill prepared for. Johnny Swinger and David Young distract Gonzalez, jumping on the apron so Gilbertti can blindside his opponent with a forearm to the back. But it’s little trouble for the man formerly known as Rey Fenix and after a Rip Chord Left-Arm Lariat, he slaps on a Figure Four Leglock and scores the submission win.

 

</div>

 

 

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

Back from a commercial break and

BG James

has made his way to the ring with a microphone in hand. He tells us that he and Ron Killings have gone their separate ways but to be honest... that’s just him being politically correct! It’s more that ‘The Truth’ wanted to go it on his own in the singles ranks and BG respects that. Everybody should want to be World Heavyweight Champion, himself included.

 

Ever since he arrived in TNA Wrestling he’s been a tag guy but now he’s a lone ranger, he’s fixing to give somebody an ass whipping. He tells the locker room that anybody can square up and he’ll be waiting.

 

As Beware plays him out and James heads backstage…

 

 

 

 

He passes

Samoa Joe

in the tunnel and the two bump shoulders as the ‘Samoan Submission Machine’ scowls and continues readying himself for his upcoming match against Jason Cross.

Standard Singles Match

Jason Cross vs. Samoa Joe

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

Despite all of his preparations, this was a difficult evening for the youngster. He was veritably mauled by the undefeated Samoa Joe and his best moment was a Swinging Tornado DDT counter to an attempted Urinage. Jason’s resilience was admirable but after a Leg Lariat and a Snap Powerslam, Cross was looking a bit punch drunk as he ambled back to a vertical base. He was sat down with a calf kick and then Joe murdered him with a Single Leg Dropkick. Once the Coquina Clutch was applied there was little hesitation in referee Slick Johnson as he called for the bell.

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

In The Lair,

James Mitchell

addresses

The Gathering.

All of his children are on hand and ‘The Father’ focuses his attention very particularly on CM Punk. He didn’t ask him to go out there last week and interrupt Sting nor did he didn’t ask him to make a challenge for No Surrender. Speaking frankly, Mitchell has grown weary of the single mindedness of his student…

 

”The Gathering is a collective but you just seem to do whatever you feel like doing!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

This remark angers CM Punk. He went down to the ring last week because he thought James Mitchell wanted The Gathering to have a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, he believed that their goal was to capture championship gold and every victory for CM Punk is a victory for The Gathering. It’s true that he marches to the beat of his drum but can’t Mitchell see the progress they’ve made? Whatever, says Punk...

 

”If you haven’t got my back, stay away from ringside at No Surrender!”

 

Punk tries to storm off but Brother Julio cuts him off, putting his arm out to block Punk’s passing. They stare one another down with a degree of tension but after Mitchell’s forlorn nod, Julio stands down and Punk takes his leave.

Standard Singles Match

Meiko Satomura vs. Nattie Neidhart

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

Nattie Neidhart is the daughter of the legendary Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart and has come to us from STAMPEDE Wrestling. During this match, Mike Tenay informs us that we will have a Battle Royal at No Surrender to crown the first ever TNA Knockouts Champion and he believes that these two should be considered among the favourites. For Nattie’s experience level, she’s a smooth technician in there but unfortunately, her opponent is one of the most impressive Knockouts we have seen so far. Satomura chipped away with well-placed kicks, grinding Nattie’s resolve down before putting her down with the signature Death Valley Driver.

TNA World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Match

The Harris Twins vs. The S.A.T. vs. The New Franchise (w/Madison) vs. The Gathering (w/James Mitchell)

TIME LIMIT: 20 MINUTES

 

This match is contested under elimination rules and it’s Ron & Don who take the advantage early on, using their superior size to bully Michael Shane and then Bateman after he was unceremoniously tagged in. But despite their early dominance, they are eliminated first when referee Rudy Charles catches them trying to make a switch. The ‘twin magic’ leaves the referee preoccupied ejecting Don out of the ring and that gives Julio the chance to nail Ron with Mitchell’s cane and pick up the pinfall.

 

”The Harris Twins have been eliminated!”

 

 

 

But Julio doesn’t have long to celebrate because Jose Maximo springboards in and flattens him with a leaping Crossbody! He nearly picks up the pin but Bateman is in to break it up. As The Gathering duke it out with The S.A.T., the camera pans to Shane Douglas, gleefully smiling as he and his partner stay out of dodge. Julio is taken out with Stereo Missile Dropkicks and then the Double Spanish Fly puts Bateman down for the three.

 

”The Gathering have been eliminated!”

 

 

 

Douglas gets the jump on the two high-flyers and Jose finds himself isolated in The New Franchise’s territory. Belly to Belly doesn’t lock this one down, nor the Picture Perfect Elbow Drop from Michael Shane. They can’t believe it! Worse yet, Jose manages to make the hot tag and Joel comes in like a house of fire. Taking them both down with leaping forearm strikes, he executes a Double Headscissors Takedown and soaks in the adulation from the crowd. But then he’s distracted…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because

Madison

is up on the apron, doing her best to seduce the youngster. The beautiful young lady must have been just as impressed as our audience!

 

Unfortunately for Joel, it’s all an elaborate ruse and she isn’t interested in him at all, only helping her team win this match. That jezebel! Having given her boyfriend adequate time to recover, she drops down from the ring and Michael Shane connects with Sweet Shane Music to give The New Franchise the W.

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

As ‘Modest’ rings out through the Grady Cole Center,

Jeremy Borash

is on hand to interview the popular

Jeff Hardy

. Inside the ring, Hardy first establishes that to him, Roddy Piper is a part of the system. He controls things around here and he shouldn’t be surprised that “Hot Rod” wrapped a steel chair around his head and cost him his match against Jeff Jarrett. That sort of thing has been happening to the ‘Enigma’ his entire career.

 

When JB tries to question whether that incident was an accident or not, Hardy is unconvinced. It was all a set up! He believes that Piper and Jarrett were in agreement, that they would pretend not to get along and the Commissioner would see to it that Double J won the match. TNA management could never get behind somebody like Jeff Hardy, he’s too alternative, he’s too free. They could never let him pin their “Chosen One” on PPV so they made sure it didn’t happen. It was cowardice on the part of the Commissioner…

 

”... and at No Surrender, Roddy Piper will have to answer for his transgressions.”

Standard Singles Match

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Ron Killings

TIME LIMIT: 15 MINUTES

 

It was great to see DDP back in the ring again and Flair Country let him know, cheering him on as he enjoyed the early methodical pace. Killings might have been in awe but his recent attitude shift reared its head and he increased the physicality. He backed Page into the corner with a series of right hands and choking his veteran opponent, he waited until referee Rudy Charles had counted to 4 before breaking the hold. In the center of the ring, both the Truth and Consequences and the Truth Conviction delivered near falls and ‘The Truth’ grew frustrated at Page’s refusal to stay down.

 

Back on his feet, the ‘People’s Champion’ rallied back, turning back the years as he drove Killings into the canvas with a Tilt-a-Whirl Slam. The Gutwrench Gutbuster followed and our audience could tell that the momentum had swung. Flashing the diamond, Page prepared to put this one away but Killings delivered a kick, one that looked a little lower than perhaps was intended…

 

 

 

”Do my eyes deceive me Don? Was that a low blow?!”

 

”I can’t believe that it was Mike!”

 

 

 

Rudy Charles took exception to it too but treated it as accidental and allowed the match to continue. This one didn’t last much longer though, DDP was wounded and Killings delivered the Jumping Reverse STO. For a second successive week, that move took him to the pay window.

 

</div>

 

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #da251c;border-radius: 25px;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

 

Post-match,

Ron Killings

shoves Rudy Charles away as he tries to raise his hand. He snatched the microphone from JB and told

Diamond Dallas Page

, now staggering back to a vertical base, that last week was a warning. TNA Wrestling is not for the old and the Lie Detector was honest.

 

”For good measure, I’ma do it again!”

 

For a second time, Killings delivered the Jumping Reverse STO, the Lie Detector planted Page face first into the mat. The Grady Cole Center made their disapproval heard but ‘The Truth’ simply planted his foot on DDP and basked in his own dominant glory as we went off the air.

Post Show Notes

Glenn Gilbertti was not too pleased to be losing to Ray Gonzalez, but Dutch Mantell told him that the Puerto Rican had gone 50-50 with Jarrett and was well positioned on the card.

He then agreed to do the honours without complaint.

 

Similarly, Diamond Dallas Page had no problem putting Ron Killings over once agent Dusty Rhodes had gone over the finish with him.

 

After praise from Sting and AJ Styles, Cheerleader Melissa was signed to an Exclusive Written contract.

 

Scott Hudson aired his frustrations over his absence from the programming and was subsequently granted his release. TNA Wrestling wishes him the best in his future endevours.

Elix Skipper defeated Evan Karagias after the Kryptonite Krunch in a decent match. (50)

 

Backstage, Mike Awesome stormed through the corridor, apopletic at Ricky Banderas' attack on Wednesday. He found Swinger, Gilbertti & Young shooting the breeze and attacked them again, throwing them into production carts to leave them laid out. On the plus side, the trio have now solved their whodunnit! (46)

 

Jerrelle Clark defeated Romeo with the fantastic 630 Senton, the only real highlight in an otherwise pedestrian affair. (28)

 

In a backstage interview, Scott D'Amore boasted of having Chris Sabin on his side now and when he brings in his Ace, Team Canada is going to target the TNA World Tag Team Championships! (33)

 

Cheerleader Melissa defeated the debuting LuFisto. She was able to absorb punishment better than most but she eventually submitted to the Inverted Cloverleaf. (27)

 

In their locker room, Elix Skipper and Kid Kash say Wednesday will be a glorious night when they triumph over Sting and Bryan Danielson respectively in singles action! (56)

 

Chris Sabin took on the game Chicano and picked up a relatively routine victory with the Cradle Shock. (35)

 

Teaming together for the first time in TNA, the Puerto Rican quartet of Savio Vega, Ray Gonzalez, Apolo & Ricky Banderas defeated Team Canada's Legend, Kenny Omega, Bobby Roode & Eric Young. The finish came when Gonzalez delivered the Fenix Landing to E-Y. (40)

I definitely need to do some more research on them all but I just keep finding IWA matches that are terribly overbooked hahaha.

That comes with a territory I guess The last sentences of your post are very relatable too.

Take your time man! Same stuff going on here so I get it!

CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Wednesday, Week 2, July 2004

 

 

”We can sign Scott Steiner!”

 

At the latest staff meeting, Dutch was surprised to learn that WWE was not renewing the contract of “Big Poppa Pump”. Even though Scott was well past his prime, he was still a popular wrestler that had been well presented and Mantell figured he was an asset to the McMahon’s. But now he was a free agent and Dutch knew his star power would be useful to TNA Wrestling as he looked to grow their presence.

 

However, it was well known that Scott Steiner and recent debutant Diamond Dallas Page did not like one another and that his signing could very well upset a happy, driven locker room. Scott didn’t have the best reputation and maybe that was why WWE were cutting him loose; a face not fitting type-scenario. It was a dilemma that he had not experienced when pushing for the signing for Ultimo Dragon but Dutch decided to abstain altogether. If we were signing Scott Steiner, only Dixie Carter would make that decision...

Veronica vs. Beth Phoenix

Comments: Beth could be a great signing for the long-term, but Veronica is the here and now (and future as well).

Bryan Danielson vs. Kid Kash

Comments: Should be a good match.

 

Sting vs. Elix Skipper

Comments: This is an interesting matchup that should be fun to watch, but Sting's losses should be few and far between and he shouldn't be losing to Skipper, despite Skipper's obvious in-ring talent.

Having not had his contract renewed by WWE, Ultimo Dragon was a man on a mission here. With Jerrelle Clark having gotten injured performing for NWA Florida on Monday, Sonjay Dutt was drafted in at the last minute as his replacement and his more athletic style had the experienced Japanese luchador on the ropes early on. Sonjay was confident he had done the deal after a Double Foot Stomp but there was more gas in Ultimo Dragon’s tank and he reseized the initiative with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. From there, it was one way traffic and Dutt was reduced to hope spots, the fire of his comeback attempts stamped out immediately by his veteran adversary. This was a professional and clinical performance from the debutant and he capped it off by eliciting the submission courtesy of the Dragon Sleeper.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

At the 2nd Anniversary Show, she was pushed by the impressive Cheerleader Melissa but she emerged victorious after delivering the Widow’s Peak. She’s determined to become the first TNA Knockouts Champion because that would be validation for all the hard work and all the sacrifices she’s made in her career so far. She came to TNA Wrestling to prove herself, to show everybody that she’s one of the best women wrestlers in the entire game. She respects the hungry Beth Phoenix for taking tonight’s challenge but Veronica looks at her the same way she looks at the rest of the division; there to be defeated so she can become the Queen of the Knockouts.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

This was always a tall order for Scoot but “Black Nature Boy” fought his willing best, drop toe holding the ‘Enigma’ onto the second rope to put a hurting on him. Tilt-A-Whirl Facebuster had Hardy pinned to the canvas but he reversed the Reverse Cutter into his signature Sit-Out Jawbreaker and from there, he ramped up the momentum.

Having wrestled already, Hardy was little prepared for the bull rush early on and Roode’s physicality was too much for him to handle. Piper stayed ringside to observe the action and was just as impressive as Scott D’Amore after Roode’s Stalling Vertical Suplex. He continued to roughhouse his opponent, cutting off Hardy’s attempted comeback with a Spinebuster. But after a Sunset Flip, Hardy connected with his leg drop to the groin. Roode dithered as he sent his opponent into the corner, turning around straight into Whisper in the Wind. After a Swinging Neckbreaker, Hardy connected with the Swanton Bomb and picked up his second victory.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

Clubbing blows were exchanged but Awesome extricated himself from the rotund brawler by sending him careening into the security rail.

Both men have earned their place in this match courtesy of recent victories. Kid Kash qualified for Ultimate-X 3 and has been evaluated by TNA management as a top contender for his efforts in that match whilst Bryan Danielson holds a victory over Amazing Red from Xplosion back in May. For an X-Division contest, this one is physical and competitive with Kash looking to utliise his hybrid high-flying fighting style and Danielson looking to up the intensity with well-placed strikes, holds and submission attempts. Back and forth, Kash hits the Triple Jump Moonsault and Danielson hits a Dragon Suplex but neither move is enough to score the 3. </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

Kash looks to lock this one down with the Dead Level but Danielson escapes the Brainbuster predicament with a knee to a head and scores a close near fall with the Northern Lights Suplex. Once again, Kash battles back with a Superkick and hooks “American Dragon” for the Money Maker but Danielson turns the double underhook against Kash when he elevates him over his own head into a pin before turning him over to apply the Cattle Mutilation! To Danielson’s surprise, Kash shows his ring awareness and manages to escape with his foot on the bottom rope. But after applying a Front Chancery choke, Danielson transitions into a Fisherman’s Suplex and bridges impressively to pick up a pinfall victory.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

In recent months, ‘Primetime’ has rubbed shoulders with some of the headline attractions here in TNA Wrestling and despite defeat to AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy, he has proved he was a formidable competitor. Tonight was no different and although he was fighting against the odds, Skipper was able to hang in there and compete with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. His game plan was to up the intensity and he stayed on his opponent, consistently delivering punishment and trying to utilise his superior cardiovascular conditioning. </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

The problem for Skipper, however, was simple genetics. For every two blows he delivered, Sting could inflict the same damage with one. He rallied back with right hands, sending Skipper to the corner before hitting the Stinger Splash! Skipper tried to counter back with the Kryptonite Krunch but Sting floated over and double legged his opponent straight into the Scorpion Deathlock! As Skipper tapped, Sting gave the hard camera a cold, long stare as though he was looking straight at CM Punk, his challenger for No Surrender.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

Microphone in hand, he tells the reigning Champion that it’s about time their paths crossed and now CM Punk is the number one contender, Sting is on a collision course not just with the Straight Edge superstar but with every child of The Gathering. Since Genesis, the Stinger has had a target on his back and he’s defended the title with great honour but in doing so, has he become a man unto himself? Next week, Sting will take on Brother Julio & “The Master” Dustin Rhodes in tag team action but the “The Father” is curious… will Sting be able to find himself a partner?

For “The Icon”, it doesn’t matter. No matter what he’s faced, he’s knocked it all down so far and he has no intention of stopping just yet! He’ll open the door if somebody wants to step up and help him take down The Gathering but if he has to do it by himself so be it. Next week, he’ll show CM Punk exactly the kind of beast he’s going to fight in a submission match at No Surrender and he’ll send all of The Gathering cowering back to their lair.

TNA Xplosion & iMPACT #23 Preview

 

 

TNA Xplosion!

Friday, Week 2, July 2004

Taped at The Asylum

 

<div style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #000000;margin:15px;background: #dddddd; max-width:100%;";">

Jerry Lynn defeated Low-Ki with the Cradle Piledriver. (43)

 

Daffney & Cheerleader Melissa promise that one of them will leave No Surrender as the first ever TNA Knockouts Champion. Come hell or high water, the Knockouts Division will be terrorised! (45)

 

Sonjay Dutt warmed up for his iMPACT clash with CM Punk by defeating Romeo with the Sonjay Cutter. (33)

 

Elix Skipper & Kid Kash defeated Nick & Matt Logan after a Spike Money Maker. (46)

 

Ricky Fuji tells Dragon Kid that he'll regret coming back on Wednesday to face the Somber Serpent! (30)

 

Somber Serpent made quick work of Chicano and pinned him with a Package Piledriver. (28)

 

A group of heroic competitors pledge their case to be Sting's tag team partner on iMPACT. The Sandman is down to whip anybody's ass, anywhere. Simon Diamond saw what 'The Master' did to Chris Vaughn and Simon Says it's time for payback. Savio Vega is too busy preparing for his match against Jeff Jarrett at No Surrender but if he wasn't, he'd join the Stinger in putting that "cult" six feet under, comprende? C.W. Anderson hasn't seen combat for some time and would love to tape his fists up and get back involved. For Evan Karagias, he might be new to TNA Wrestling but that tag team match seems like the perfect stage for some instant replays. As for Raven, he's no longer interested in anything that doesn't involve him... (51)

 

TNA WORLD TAG TEAM:

America's Most Wanted agreed to put their titles on the line against Danny Doring & Roadkill and retained after James Storm delivered Eye of the Storm to Doring. (50)

TNA Wrestling returns to Texas for the go home show before No Surrender.

 

In our main event, Sting will look to find a tag team partner to help him do battle with the loyal Brother Julio and the determined Master of the Squared Circle, Dustin Rhodes. Several men outlined their reasons for wanting to team with “The Icon”, who will come forward to fight his corner?

 

The top contender, CM Punk, will be put to the test by Sonjay Dutt and Samoa Joe will look to extend his winning streak against Evan Karagias. We’ll hear from the Big League before Jeff Jarrett collides with Savio Vega and Chris Sabin will be in action on iMPACT for the first time since joining Team Canada.

 

All this and more from the Dr Pepper Arena, live on ESPN!
