Treyhill, who has worked with independent promotions across the world will now be guiding the ship in a new direction for TNA. Dixie Carter will remain President, just seeing more of a business role, Treyhill will focus on the TNA wrestling product along with Jeff Jarrett. A change is expected to take place this Thursday on iMPACT and yet another surprise, this Thursday the show will be live and will be two hours. Looks like TNA was able to get Spike TV to move up the primetime two hour slot for this occasion. No word yet on what kind of changes will be made, it is being expected though that TNA will look to take a new direction and will look to start gaining more and more momentum. The following is the statement on tnawrestling.com made by new CEO Kevin Treyhill.[/SIZE] [SIZE="2"]"To some it seems as if wrestling has become a joke and is to be treated like one. To some it seems as if it's nothing more than a testosterone fueled soap opera. Well wrestling fans, you're about to see a changing of the guard, a new breed, a revolution you could say. TNA is about to re-invent mainstream wrestling and show you that a good wrestling product can be done without celebrities and plugging awful, irrelevant movies. TNA can and will treat it's fans with respect, knowing that they simply dont forget things that happened two months ago and TNA will also never insult your intelligence. We're about producing the best wrestling product there is today, something you can be proud to be a fan of and something that you will see in two days, LIVE on Spike TV at 9 PM EST."[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick425 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 [COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/10/06- Full TNA iMPACT Results & Thoughts By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] Well, here we are at the first TNA primetime show, did we mention it's two hours long? If not you know now and you also like myself were hoping for one hell of a two hours. So lets get down to it and run over the show and then a few thoughts on it overall. The show starts off with Jim Cornette, TNA's on air authority figure in the ring with a few things to tell us. First off, tonight we would see the in-ring debut of Kurt Angle has he faces off against former NWA World Champion Christian Cage. His other small annoucement was something that was being speculated, TNA iMPACT would be two hours next week and the week after that and so on, two hours from here on out. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] We're then taken backstage where Jeremy Borash is standing with Christian Cage. Cage says it was a surprise to him that he will be facing Angle tonight, being a former NWA Champion he gladly accepts the challenge. When Borash asked Cage if he was at all fearful of Angle Cage looked very disgusted at the question, then stuttered out "no" several times and walked away. [B]Overall Rating: C[/B] After the break we come back and have our first match of the evening, Chris Sabin defending his X-Division title against Alex Shelley. (When this diary was started Sabin was still the champion, sorry for any confusion) Some quick counters on the mat to start this one off, Shelley looking very strong at the start gettng Sabin into several submissions and near falls. About halfway through Sabin connected to the outside with a suicide dive. Sabin hit a missle dropkick off the ring apron and then got Shelley for a two count, then with a tornado DDT and another two count. Went for the Future Shock but Shelley got out of it and then hit a stiff kick to the jaw, followed by an double arm suplex into a backbreaker. Sabin kicks out and connects with some kicks, irsh whip into the ropes and both men go down with clotheslines. After both get up Shelley misses a kick and Sabin hits the Future Shock for the win @ 9:49 to retain the X-Division Championsip. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After Sabin is handed his belt and is playing to the crowd Petey Williams appears at the top of the ramp in street clothes, does a quick speech on how to this day he is the best X-Division champion ever and will prove it next week if Sabin faces him in a match. [B]Overall Rating: C[/B] Sabin makes several jokes about Canada that the crowd laughs at, at one point it looked as Petey was coming to the ring, although he didnt. Sabin accepted the challenge and said he would defend the belt next week on iMPACT. Okay overall segment with the challenge and then Sabin accepting, not the best two on the mic though, where was Scott D'Amore for Williams? [B]Overall Rating: C[/B] After the break we return with The Naturals in the ring and team 3D make their way down also. Tenay and West discuss that it isnt official, but the winner of this match has a good chance at getting a shot at LAX and Tag Team titles. Brother Ray starts the match off against Douglas, Ray tosses him around the ring, hitting several back body drops and tags in Brother Devon. Devon continues the assault on Douglas, as he picks Douglas up after that Douglas hits a low blow though and tags in Stevens. Stevens stomps away at Devon, then putting him in a sleeper and then a neckbreaker, and gets a near fall. Stevens tags in Douglas and they continue to wear Devon down in their corner and we take a commercial break. After we return Devon is still in the ring being worn down, this time by Stevens. After Stevens whips Devon in the ropes, Devon ducks an elbow and hits a shoulderblock. The crowd starts clapping along with Brother Ray and Devon makes it over for the tag, Brother Ray starts cleaning house and the referee gets run into by Stevens, sending him to the ground and then The Naturals hit a double suplex on Ray. Moments after that LAX runs into the ring and start beating down The Naturals. Homicide hits the Cop Killa on Douglas and LAX then leave the ring to a chorus of boos from the crowd. Devon climbs back in the ring and they hit the 3D on Stevens, roll the referee over to wake him up and he makes the slow three count that gives Team 3D the win @ 11:51. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After we return from a quick break AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels are backstage discussing their tag team match with LAX at Bound For Glory. Both are joking back and forth about it and Daniels makes a joke they should have a match tonight to see just who is better right now, Styles said what are you waiting for and walked away. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Just after that as Tenay and West are wondering if the match is going to be now AJ Styles makes his way out to the ring and then out comes Daniels. At this point I was thinking this could easily be the best match of the night, on paper it looks that way at least. Match starts off with a handshake and several minutes of tie-ups and standing switches, Daniels gains the early advantage with a drop toe hold into an STF. After two near falls Styles makes a reversal to get up and hits the Pele out of nowhere, which got a huge pop from the crowd. After a few more minutes Styles sends Daniels over the top and to the outside with a monkey flip, gets a running start and goes to the outside with a corkscrew plancha almost missing Daniels and going into the floor hard. As we return from the break Daniels has Stlyes down in the ring with a dragon sleeper, Styles slowly breaks the hold and gets to his feet only to be taken down by a side headlock and again starting to be worn down. After he makes way back up again he's sent into the ropes, misses a spinning heel kick, Daniels misses a clothesline and then Styles hits a perfect standing dropkick. Both men are now down for a six count, as they slowly rise up Styles runs at Daniels but he ducks and pulls the rope down, sending Styles out to the floor. He waits for Styles to rise, goes to the ring apron and hits a beautiful asai moonsault connecting with Styles directly. After what seems like more than a ten count, Daniels slides AJ back into the ring, puts him in the corner and ties him up in the tree of woe. Daniels takes a few steps back and slides in hitting Stlyes with both feet to the face, pulls him out in the center of the ring and goes up top, attempts another moonsault yet Styles moves at the last second causing Daniels to hit the canvas hard. Styles waits for Daniels to get up and then kicks him and lifts him up for the Styles Clash and hits it, Daniels kicks out at the last second though which causes AJ to throw a small fit. Daniels is using the ropes to get up, AJ pulls him down with a small package and gets a three count while holding onto Daniels tights for leverage @ 17:44. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] As Styles is playing to the crowd Daniels has a frustrated look on his face and gets a microphone as both men stand in the ring. Daniels says he knows that the only way AJ can beat him is to cheat so Daniels challenges AJ to another match next week on iMPACT and this time he will make sure AJ doesnt cheat. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Styles laughs a bit and tells Daniels that he had the match won from the minute the bell rang. He says he has no trouble showing Daniels who the better man is next week and accepts his challenge for a rematch on iMPACT in one week. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] After we return from the break Tenay and West show Cornette announcing earlier who Angle would face tonight and show clips from him in TNA so far, along with his brawls with Samoa Joe in order to hype up his upcoming match with Christian Cage. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Christian Cage comes out to very loud and steady boos from the crowd, Angle on the other hand comes out to a huge pop that may be the biggest TNA has had on a broadcast yet. They tie up and Angle's first match is underway, Angle throws Cage across the ring to start and they tie up again, Angle then backs Cage into the corner and hits several shoulder thrusts, Cage lifts his knee to block one and Angle's head goes right into it. Cage goes on the offensive with stomps and a leg drop, sends Angle into the ropes, leapfrog by Cage and Angle hits what is almost a Lou Thesz press into a cross armbar. Angle releases the hold and throws Cage outside the ring and follows, he sends Cage into the barricade and hits several chops, Cage reverses and hits a chop and smashes Angle's head into the announcers table. Cage goes back in the ring and stomps at Angle as he goes back in after him, Angle grabs Cage's leg and pulls him down and almost has him in the ankle lock which made the crowd pop huge. Cage hits a kick to the gut, goes around Angle and turns for the unprettier but Angle pushes him into the ropes and hits a german suplex into a bridge as he comes back, just for a two count. Angle picks him up and hits a northern lights suplex with a bridge for another two count, then picks Cage up and hits a belly to belly suplex throwing Cage acorss the ring like a doll. As we return from the break Angle is down as Cage has locked in a camel clutch, Tenay and West show what happened during the break, on the outside Cage ducked which sent Angle int the ring post causing him to start bleeding pretty bad. As Cage wrenches back even further Angle rolls over and flips off Cage and manuevers into a Fujiwara armbar, Cage reverses, puts Angle into a head scissors, Angle breaks it, goes for a clothesline but Cage ducks and hits Angle with a german suplex that flips Angle in mid air sending him face first onto the mat. Both men lay on the canvas as the crowd cheers, both men slowly get to their feet, Cage once again goes for the unprettier, Angle moves and hits the Angle slam though, right into the ankle lock and after about fifteen seconds Cage slams both hands onto the mat tapping out @ 16:56. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] As Angle gets up and pulls his straps down in the ring Samoa Joe runs in and Angle doesnt see him at all, Joe puts on a choke from behind and locks it in tighter and tighter, Angle flips Joe up over his head though and then both start trading shots back and forth as referees start pulling them apart and separating them. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] After the commercial we come back with America's Most Wanted in the ring and LAX on their way out to the ring to defend their NWA Tag Tag titles in a tornado tag team match. Right at the start of the match all four men spill to the outside and start brawling around the ring, Hernandez and Storm go into the crowd and it turns into a street fight basically. Homicide gets busted open by several chair shots by Harris and we now have our second blood spillage of the night. Halfway through the match Konnan starts to join in the brawl and then brawls with Storm right up the ramp into the back. After a break we come back and it's now three on one as Storm is nowhere to be seen. After several chair shots Harris is also now bleeding all over the ring and LAX are taking turns at standing over Harris and rainging down with fists. After the referee finally gets Konnan out of the ring but it's far too late, Hernandez hits a huge powerbomb followed by the Cop Killa by Homicide and finally a pin to end the bloody brawl @ 14:39 and LAX retain the NWA Tag Team titles. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After the match Storm makes his way back out to the ring, also now bleeding but he doesnt last long, as Harris still lays on the mat Storm also starts to take a beating and he continues to try and fight off all three members of LAX up the ramp and to the back. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] After we return it's time for the main event, the first man to score a pinfall or submission will be the winner and will get a shot at Sting next week on iMPACT. Abyss vs. Samoa Joe vs. Rhino, all three men start in the ring and exchange stiff shots back and forth. Joe and Rhino started to team up on Abyss and then they both started going at each other, Joe hits a huge running boot but Rhino comes right back with a gore. Abyss then focuses on Rhino, nailing two headbutts, then a chokeslam. Joe has made his way back up now and takes Abyss down from behind, picks him up and hits a neckbreaker, Rhino gets up and throws Joe outside the ring as we go to a commercial. As we come back from commercial Abyss is in the ring and Joe just rolled Rhino into the ring, then from behind Kurt Angle attacks Joe, throwing him into the announcers table and the barricade. Rhino gets up and see's this, he looks on and has he turns around Abyss is waiting and hits the Black Hole Slam, covers Rhino and gets the win @ 10:40 and a shot at Sting and the NWA World Championship next week on iMPACT.After the match Joe and Angle continue to brawl outside the ring and continue to do so backstage as the crowd is going crazy as they trade shots back and forth. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] As the show closes Abyss is in the ring with James Mitchell and Sting is shown in the rafters with the NWA title looking down at Abyss.

Nick425 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 [COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/11/06- TNA Updates & Thoughts On iMPACT By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] [COLOR="Red"] [B]Thoughts On iMPACT[/B][/COLOR] -Overall I would say it was quite a good show for the debut of the "new" TNA. I will say it is by far the best two hours of wrestling that has been on television in a very long time, although it did have some issues that I would like to point out. -Sabin vs. Shelley was good for what it was meant for, a way to set up Williams vs. Sabin, although I dont know if simply using Shelley as a springboard for those two is a good idea. -Why did LAX attack The Naturals in their match against Team 3D and not Team 3D also? I am sure we will hear why this upcoming week but that is something that should've been put it, lets hope there was a reason. -Styles vs. Daniels wasnt their best match but it was great for the primetime debut. With a rematch next week it will be interesting to see if the tag team continues or which one if either could make a heel turn down the road. -Two great matches in a row, Cage vs. Angle may not have been as flashy as the previous match but the crowd was very into it which helped it out very much. Angle looked great, so did Cage and the failed attack by Joe was done nicely to set the one up later. -LAX vs. AMW was just a mess, did we really need a brawl on the show like this? Especially when they could've done some nice in-ring action. I hope LAX brutalizing everyone goes somewhere out of this. The main event was far too short I felt, it was done well and I dont think Sting will lose the strap next week but it should be a good match. The heat on Joe vs. Angle is rising though after another brawl like that. The other problem was I think Sting could've been used better than just being seen in the rafters after the match, he will defend his title next week though. [COLOR="Red"] [B]TNA News & Notes[/B][/COLOR] -Last night should be some indication of the direction that TNA is looking to go in. Very focused on in-ring action with 5 of the 6 matches going over eleven minutes long. It is also expected that they wanted to treat this debut in primetime and of the "new" TNA as sort of a PPV with the longer matches, although it may not end up being too different from what you saw on Thursday night. -There were originally talks about pushing back Genesis or even changing the name, however seeing that these talks started with only two weeks to go until the PPV it was decided to leave it and do as much as they can with the two shows prior to it. So next week will be the last show before Genesis on November 19th. -Jim Cornette will have an annoucement concerning Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe this Thursday on iMPACT and it is supposed to concern their match at Genesis. -Expect to maybe see TNA try and fit more talent on the show this week, whether matches or interviews, they have a tough task ahead of them with only two hours to build a PPV card. -Three confirmed matches for iMPACT next week are… [U] [I]TNA X-Division Championship[/I][/U] Chris Sabin(c) vs. Petey Williams AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels [U] [I]NWA World Championship[/I][/U] Sting(c) vs. Abyss [B][i]OOC: I am thinking of doing results differently, making them shorter I guess you could say.

Nick425 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 [COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/17/06- TNA iMPACT Rundown & Thoughts By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] Very important two hours for TNA this week as they prepare for their first PPV under their new direction, Genesis this Sunday. I was very nervous heading into the show seeing that I knew it was going to be tough for them to pull off a good show and try to set up anything for the PPV. Lets get to it though… Started off this week the same as last week with Jim Cornette in the ring with something to say. Cornette says he's sick of Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe distrubing iMPACT with their brawls and antics and that if either one touches the other tonight that their match for Genesis would be off. I like the ideaown. Sabin defeated Shelley last week so this could be a set up for something coming up. If anything there could've been more of a reason the attack occured, but it should play itself out. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] We next had Raven come out and see if anyone was up to the challenge he made on the TNA website for a hardcore match. Very odd that TNA did this, not to mention it was never mentioned on the program last week, a bad way for TNA to start using Raven again I would say. Someone did accept his challenge though, Mike Awesome who just signed a contract with TNA. Typical plunder throughout the match, Raven did kick out of an Awesome Bomb on a steel chair though. After that none other than Billy Kidman hit the ring in his old jean shorts attire and nailed Awesome three times with a chair to the head allowing Raven to pick up the victory. After the math Raven and Kidman left together, could The Flock be making a comeback? Raven via pinfall @ 8:38. [B]Overall Rating: B-[/B] Backstage with Christian Cage he informs everyone that he just found out he must face Kurt Angle in a rematch from last week. Very upset with it, says he proved himself against Angle last week. Cage really is doing solid work week in and out and I am glad their letting him get a small rub off Angle's massive heat since he joined TNA. Very nice segment and a great promo cut by Cage. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] We're then shown a video recaping last week on the show when AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels first got into an argument and then a nice video package going over the match and the aftermath with the challenge for this week. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] So next we had the Styles vs. Daniels rematch from last week, shorter version this week, some of the same last week and they pulled out some different stuff. The crowd was much more into this week and it showed very well on tv, also Tenay and West did a good job of explaining their past. Daniels kicked out of the Spiral Tap and Styles kicked out of the Last Rites after Daniels couldnt make a quick enough cover. Daniels did get the win though, with a rollup and using the tights for leverage just like Styles did last week. Daniels via pinfall @ 13:37. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] After the match Styles grabbed a mic and said Daniels wasnt any better than he was, as he also used the tights this week to get the win. Daniels said they could have the rubber match this Sunday at Genesis in a 2/3 Falls match. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Daniels said tonight was an example of an eye for an eye, and that he knows he can beat Styles any day of the week and at any event so he accepts the challege for the match at Genesis. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Next up was four corner elimination match for the #1 contender ship for the X-Division title. Senshi vs. Elix Skipper vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal; it was a typical match that you would expect with this setup, very spotty yet some real good action at the end when it was down to Lethal and Senshi. Lethal looked to have the win which was a shocker but Senshi ended up with his foot on the ropes, only to come back and pick up the win to earn a rematch with Sabin at Genesis for the X-Division title. Order of elimination, Dutt via Senshi, Skipper via Lethal, Lethal via Senshi. Senshi via pinfall @ 13:42. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After the match Jim Cornette comes out to make another announcement concerning Genesis, that it wont just be Sabin vs. Senshi at Genesis, it will be a three way match for the X-Division title, Sabin vs. Senshi vs. Alex Shelley. Shelly was thrown in due to his attack on Sabin earlier, Cornette explained Sabin said he wanted a shot at him so there it is. That should be quite a good match on Sunday. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] As Cornette is walking backstage Christian Cage stops him and lets him know that he isnt happy about having to face Angle again and that he proved himself last week and that Angle got lucky. He said he should be facing whoever is NWA World Champion at Genesis and that it's his destiny. Cornette tells him if he can beat Angle tonight that he will get a shot at Genesis against Abyss or Sting, depending on the winner later tonight. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] Next up was another rematch from last week, Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle and they once again put on one hell of a match, up to this point in the show very close to the Daniels/Styles match in terms of quality in ring action. Cage escaped the ankle lock early twice and tried to use a chair but was stopped by the referee. Cage did pick up the win when Samoa Joe came out to the ring and Angle started telling him to come on in, Cage was able to grab Angle and hit the unprettier which means he will get a title shot at Genesis and Samoa Joe just caused Kurt Angle's first loss in TNA. Cage via pinfall @ 14:59. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] Backstage The Naturals are looking at the monitor and discussing the match that just happened when LAX comes from behind and sends them right into the table and tv. Hernandez was carrying a bat and used it to hit Douglas and Stevens; Homicide used a small hand held taser on both, so it looks as though LAX will be facing Team 3D at Geneis, although this is one odd way to set it up. [B]Overall Rating: D[/B] Jeremy Borash stops Sting backstage and asks him what he thinks about possibly having to face Christian Cage at Genesis. Sting reminds him it's only possible and that first he has to focus on Abyss tonight and then he can worry about Christian Cage. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] In the main event of the evening Sting defended the NWA World Championship against Abyss who won a shot a the title last week. Back and forth match, Mitchell dumped the tacks on the outside of the ring and it was Abyss who went flying onto them as Sting hit a dropkick to him while he was on the apron. After that it was all Sting and he was able to pick up the win and set up Sting vs. Cage this Sunday at Genesis for the NWA World Championship. Sting via pinfall @ 12:21 [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] To close the show we're taken backstage and see once again Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe being held apart, in the middle is Cornette screaming for them to try it, just try it once and the match will be off. Great segment to end the show and set that match up for Sunday. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] [B]Overall Show Rating: B-[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[I] [B]2/3 Falls Match[/B] AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels [B]TNA X-Division Championship[/B] Chris Sabin(c) vs. Alex Shelley vs. Senshi Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle [B]NWA Tag Team Championships[/B] Latin American Exchange(c) vs. Team 3D [B]NWA World Championship[/B] Sting(c) vs. Christian Cage [/I] -Those are the confirmed matches, only five so far and two more are expected to be added at least. Abyss vs. Rhino could be a possibility as could Raven and Billy Kidman being involved with something. The Naturals and AMW could also end up having a match depending on if TNA will sell the fact that LAX did take them out for the PPV or not. -TNA CEO Kevin Treyhill is said to not be very happy heading into the PPV tomorrow night, the main reason being that he wanted to move the show back at least a week to help build on what they've been doing. He's happy with how things are going, just not happy that they must now book the PPV only after these two shows. -As you saw on iMPACT, Billy Kidman made his debut by helping out Raven which very well could lead to the formation of The Flock or Kidman and Raven could be a team. If The Flock does return, nothing has been stated on who else would be in the group. -If you couldnt tell, TNA isnt sure yet where they want to go with Sting and the NWA title. Something could stem with Cage or it could still be someone else, whichever it is, look for the picture to possibly clear up this Sunday at Genesis. -Make sure to check back soon as we will run down all of Genesis and have some inside thoughts on it.

The Stallion Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Impact Review 11/10/06 - I like the way you do the results brother, very quick and to the point, but also it gives us enough description to enjoy them. - Your match descriptions are very well thought out and its obvious that you know your wrestling. Very strong first show brother. Everything gelled together very well and you put the show together perfectly, which was evident in the B- rating (a very good rating by the way when running TNA) Impact Review 11/17/06 - I like the idea of a new flock in your TNA. Good direction with Raven. - AJ and Daniel will always give you 5* matches man, great way to use them. Another great show brother and it ended very well on a good high point heading into the PPV. Overall I really like your TNA so far. Not crazy about the fact that Angle lost to Cage so early on in his TNA tenure, but Im interested in seeing where you head with everything.

Nick425 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 [B][B][/B][/B][COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/22/06- Entire Preview & Full Match Rundown Of Genesis By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] Just posted on TNA's website is every match that will take place at Genesis tonight, we only knew about five before so this gives people who are on the fence about buying the first PPV of the new TNA a look at what they would be getting. [B]NWA Tag Team Championship[/B] [I]LAX(c) vs. Team 3D[/I] After LAX tried to take out both The Naturals and AMW, Team 3D look to be the only challenger for LAX. AMW were beat down in a no DQ match and The Naturals were taken out backstage, thus setting up this match for Genesis. It will be LAX's second title defense since winning the belts, their first being against AMW and having them drop the titles so quickly doesn't seem likely but could happen since they won them before the current management took over. Team 3D are certainly capable of holding the titles so this one is a toss up and should be good tag team bout. [B]2/3 Falls Match[/B] [I]AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels[/I] This all started in a discussion the two were having backstage on iMPACT two weeks ago. Daniels was simply joking about who's fault it was that they lost the tag titles and Styles took it personal, therefore setting up the initial match between the two. Styles got the win by holding onto Daniels tights so they had a rematch the next week and this time Daniels won the same way. Styles then made a challenge for Genesis for a 2/3 Falls match, and Daniels accepted. This easily could be the show stealer, although most already know that. Their two matches on iMPACT have arguably been the best on television in the past two weeks in any promotion. This match could end the small feud for now or light the fire under it, only way to find out is to tune in later tonight. [B]No DQ[/B] [I]Raven vs. Rhino[/I] This match was set up after Raven made another challenge on TNA's website, challenginng anyone to a no DQ match, last time Awesome accepted and this time Rhino has. I don't like them doing the challenge online but I do understand it was hard to fit Raven in on iMPACT, so hopefully after this they can get something going with more time before the next PPV. Anytime you have Raven in a no DQ match you have a chance for a good one and Rhino isn't a slouch either, two former ECW World champions in a no DQ match, what else could you ask for? [B]#1 Contender For X-Division Championsip[/B] [I]Jay Lethal vs. Austin Aires vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Petey Williams[/I] A match that was thrown together a little too late but one that should still be entertaining. One thing I do like about this though is that TNA is having matches to determine who will get a shot at the title, the same way they did having Cage win a match against Angle to get a shot at Sting on Genesis. So far they havent just handed out title shots and that continue's with this match, having it seem that the winner earns a shot against whoever wins the title match tonight. [I]Billy Kidman vs. Mike Awesome[/I] A match that was just thrown together, although has a bit of history which is nice. Kidman debuted last week on iMPACT when he helped out Raven and cost Awesome the match, teasing at some kind of Flock reunion or at least a teaming of Raven and Kidman. This match could further that tease or could end it, tune in to find out. [I] Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe[/I] Without a doubt the most hyped match in the history of TNA and we are all hoping it lives up to it. After several confrontations and this past week not being allowed to make contact with each other at all the tension is building up and it will unleash itself later tonight. For this match to be a success I think they must give them the proper amount of time, which I think they will do. Looking at how the past two episodes of iMPACT have turned out with longer matches, I see this becoming a trend in the new TNA. Most people would say Angle is going to be the obvious winner, however they also thought he would beat Christian Cage this past week. It's nice to see that right out of the gate they haven't made Angle unstoppable, instead they have made him very danergous though. Will Joe lose his first match or will Angle start to climb the mountan in TNA? No matter what the outcome, it should be one hell of a match. [B]X-Division Championship[/B] [I]Chris Sabin(c) vs. Alex Shelley vs. Senshi[/I] Senshi won his shot at the title with a win on iMPACT, however Shelley snuck in after begging with Cornette, which we didn't even see on tv. I don't like how the match was set up, but TNA didn't have lots of time and it should be a great match. There will already be a #1 contender after this one is over which is great, attention is being put on the X-Division and in the right way. Any of the three could win this one and any of them could be the one to get pinned. [B]NWA World Championship[/B] [I]Christian Cage vs. Sting(c)[/I] The main event of the night, the battle for the NWA World Championship. Christian Cage certainly earned his right at Sting after defeating Angle in their rematch and Sting already proved he can defend his belt with a win over Abyss on iMPACT. Will Cage become a two time NWA Champion or will Sting continue on his reign? No matter who wins, at this point there isn't any idea at all of where they could go with the title after this, there could be a rematch or a new feud could be started and have more time to build up. I see this being a pretty good match, Cage should really shine and Sting will most likely put on a great performance also. This should be about the second or third longest match on the show, so get ready for a good one to end Genesis. Well, that it is until tonight ladies and gentlemen. If you haven't decided to order Genesis yet, we hope this can help in your decision and don't forget to check back here in a day or so for full results on TNA Genesis that will take place later tonight from the T.D. Waterhoues Centre in Orlando, Flordia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick425 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 [B][B][/B][/B][COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/23/06- TNA Genesis Results By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] Welcome to PWI's coverage of TNA Genesis 2006 Pay Per View; with only two weeks and four hours to build up this show, TNA CEO Kevn Treyhill had one hell of a challenge although he seemed to book one hell of a show. Lets get to the results… A the top of the show Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us and thank us for ordering the show, they get started right away by showing a video package of the past two weeks events leading up to the match between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Nice package recaping each match on iMPACT along with the post match angles. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Next up we had the 2/3 falls match between Daniels and Styles and it didn't disappoint at all. All of the classic spots from these two were involved with this match and TNA gave them plenty of time to put on a great opener and get the crowd ready for the show. About halfway through the match Styles missed a suicide dive to the outside and basically did a front flip into the gaurd rail, hitting it back first. I must say, one of the craziest bumps I have seen in TNA and Daniels even looked to be surprised at how fast and hard Styles came out of the ring, they showed a replay several times and each time it loooked like it hurt more and more. Styles was able to kick out of several variations of suplexes after that and did mount another offensive attack. However he missed the Spiral Tap and Daniels hit the Last Rites to win the first fall at 12:31 of the match. Showing that he wont back down though, Styles hit a asia moonsault to the outside on Daniels and landed on his feet. Shortly after that both men were on a top turnbuckle, Daniels basically threw Styles in the air and Styles grabbed Daniels with his legs and turned it into a hurricanrana in mid-air. Daniels kicked out after Styles delayed to get a cover though, so Styles went for the Styles Clash, Daniels however reversed it into a rolling crutch pin with a bridge and won the second fall at 19:32 to win the match. [B]Overall Rating: A[/B] After the match as Daniels held onto the ropes and got his hand raised Styles ran at him and began stomping away. After hitting the Styles Clash he grabbed a chair and then hit the Styles Clash on the chair as well. Daniels laid there knocked out as AJ went and grabbed a microphone. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Styles tried to talk but all 15,000 fans began to boo very loudly until he yelled at them to shutup. He said he is the better man and that it was a fluke that Daniels beat him two straight falls. He once again yelled at the crowd to shutup, Styles was very upset and was selling the fact that he was absolutley going crazy very well. He threw down the mic and stomped off to tbe back as the crowd continued to boo and Daniels still layed in the ring knocked out. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Next up we had the no DQ match between Raven and Rhino, this one got started on the ramp as Rhino ran up the ramp and attacked Raven on his way to the ring. They fought up around the set, using a chair, garbage can and at one point Rhino put Raven in a wheelchair and sent him into the side of the set. As they made their way back to the ring Raven gained the upper hand looked to have the match under control after suplexing Rhino to the outside of the ring through a table. However Rhino fought back and gored Raven through a table in the corner, as he went for the cover though Billy Kidman ran into the ring and started assualting Rhino with a steel chair, hitting several hard shots. Raven got up with the help of Kidman and hit the evenflow ddt on the chair Kidman brought in and got the win at 8:44. [B]Overall Rating: B-[/B] After the match Kidman grabbed a mic for Raven and he explained how he has been mistreated and misused for the past couple of years and that starting tonight he will change all of it because no longer will he let outside forces control his destiny. Instead he will guide his own by contorlling others, after that he stated that Kidman and himself have a trust between them and they will watch each others backs and do whatever they can to help the other succeed. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] We're then taken to the back as right outside a men's restroom Team 3D are beating the hell out of Konnan, Brother Ray is on top of him punching away as Konnan bleeds everywhere and Brother Devon yells "Testify!". As they walk away Brother Ray asks Konnan who has the advantage now and who is lying in a pool of their own blood now. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] The next match is for the NWA Tag Team Championships, Team 3D have already made their way down to the ring and as soon as LAX's music hit they practically sprint to the ring, once inside all hell breaks loose as all four men brawl. LAX seemed to have just found out what happened to Konnan which is why they came to the ring as they did, Ray and Hernandez fought to the outside leaving Devon and Homicide in the ring. Homicide hits back to back clotheslines on Devon and eventually Ray and Hernandez are in their corners. Hernandez comes in and does a number on Devon for a matter of minutes, Devon makes a tag eventually but as he roles to the outside it allows for LAX to double team Brother Ray. As the match goes on LAX keep Brother Ray in the ring and frequent tags, the crowd slowly gets behind Team 3D to the point where it seemed everyone in the building was clapping along with Devon for Brother Ray to make the tag. He finally does after a desperation ddt on Homicide and Devon comes in cleaning house, he is going back and forth on LAX until Hernandez resorts to one of the oldest tricks in the book and throws a large hand full of salt in Devon's face, he then goes right into Homicide allowing him to hit the Cop Killa and get the pin and the win at 11:56 to retain the titles as Brother Ray slowly crawled back into the ring. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After that we're sent backstage where Jeremy Borash interview's Mike Awesome. Awesome says he is going to crush Billy Kidman and show absolutely no mercy at all since he cost him his match against Raven. [B]Overall Rating: E[/B] We're set for the next match, Mike Awesome vs. Billy Kidman. This was Awesome's chance to get revenge since Kidman cost him a match against Raven on iMPACT, and revenge is what he got. He overpowered Kidman the entire match, throwing him around like a rag doll. At one point it looked like the old Billy Kidman getting the hell beat out of him, all that was missing was the seven year itch. Awesome got the pin after two Awesome Bomb's for the win at 7:49. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] Next up was the match to decide the #1 Contendership for the X-Division Championship, Jay Lethal vs. Austin Aires vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Petey Williams, first man to score a pinfall or submission wins the match. Lethal starts off agianst Williams leaving the other two to go at one another. Hard match to follow, a tag format would've worked much better on this. Great action the entire time but the camera couldn't catch each move/spot when it happened unless it involved three or all four men. Lethal hit a damn near perfect spring board leg drop on Williams, then Aries hit on asai moonsault on Williams and finally Dutt hit a 450 splash, great little series of moves. Lethal was able to pin Willams after a tornado ddt though after Dutt took out Aires on the outside with a plancha, Lethal gets the win and a shot at the X-Division title at 11:36. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Next up Tenay and West covered the events of the past three weeks or so, even before new management took over, of what has happened with Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. All the confrontations were shown as well as Cornette not allowing any contact last week on iMPACT. Good setup for the match, covered all the previous angles. [B]Overall Rating: C[/B] Here it was, Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle, the TNA dream match. Although rushed, new CEO Kevin Treyhill had no choice but to go forward with the match, although the booking up to the match was nice. To start things off both men tied up and exchanged several arm bars and hammer locks, standing switches and counters. As Joe kicked out of a near fall it sent Angle to the outside and it didnt take long for go after him, he went on the apron and ran at Angle and jumped, Angle caught Joe then set him down quickly only to then execute an overhead belly to belly suplex sending Joe hard onto the mats outside. A holy **** chant quickly started after that as Angle picked up Joe and sent him inside. Angle then used several rest holds to slow things down, Joe finally escaped another and hit Angle with a huge boot to the face. Joe soon moved Angle to a corner and then hit a fall-away slam from the second turnbuckle for a near fall. Joe then wore down Angle with holds for several minutes and escaped an ankle lock attempt also. Joe hit a huge release german suplex for a near fall and followed up with a sit down powerbomb for another near fall. As Angle began to fight back he hit back to back dragon screw leg whips and then into a leg lock. Both men would come to their feet again and trade several elbows, ending with Angle ducking one nad hitting three chained german suplexes for a near fall. He attempted another ankle lock with no success, Joe went for the Musclebuster but Angle got out of it, he went for the Angle slam but Joe reversed that and tossed Angle to the outside. Joe then connected with a suicide dive and then a tiger suplex on the outside to the floor also. He rolled Angle in and got another near fall, picked Angle up again for a Musclebuster, Angle dropped out of it and hit the Angle slam, then went straight into the ankle lock. Joe rolled out of it once but Angle got it on again and scissored Joe's legs with his own forcing Joe to tap out and allowing Angle to win by submission at 29:32. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] After the match Joe took Angle down from behind and was able to barely hit a musclebuster since he was selling the ankle lock so well. After that he put on a rear naked choke and after several minutes officials and even Jerry Lynn who came to ringside were able to pull him off. EMT's came out to check on Angle and Joe limped up the ramp to several boo's from the crowd as the next video package began. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Clips of Sabin vs. Senshi from their previous matches are shown along with Sabin vs. Shelley from iMPACT two weeks ago and Cornette annnouncing the match for the PPV. To start things off all three men tie-up, Senshi then releases and hits Shelley with a drop kick sending him outside, Sabin capitalizes and attacks Senshi. After reversals and irish whips Sabin hits a dropkick but then gets hit from behind by Shelley. He then throws Sabin to the outside and goes after Senshi, however Senshi goes on the offensive with several kicks to Shelley, he ducks the last one though and Sabin then hits a superkick on Senshi, goes for a pin but Shelley breaks it up. Shelley hits a snapmare on Sabin and then Senshi and Shelley trade kicks to Sabin's back. Senshi then kicks Shelley and hits a brainbuster followed by dropping several knee's on Shelley. Sabin throws Senshi outside and follows, sending him into the gaurdrail and then hitting a splash on him as well. Shelley runs across the ring and goes over the top rope but both men move and Shelley takes a veyr hard hit from very high onto the floor in front of the ramp, this started the second holy **** chant of the night. The action continued back in the ring with Sabin and Senshi, both went to the mat with about a good ten minutes or reversals and counters which got a great response from the crowd, this whole time Shelley was on the outside while one TNA official was talking to him, he did take quite a hard landing. Shelley then slowly rolled into the ring but the action between Senshi and Sabin continued, Senshi ducked a kick, Sabin ducked a clothesline and then back body dropped Senshi over the top rope and he went to the floor, Shelley then charged at Sabin, he ducked out of the way and was able to hit the Future Shock and get the pin to retain the X-Division title at 18:24. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Tenay and West then did one more hype job going over how Sting had defeated Abyss in a grueling match on iMPACT and how Cage defeated Angle to win a shot at the title. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Next up was the main event for the NWA World Championsip, Sting vs. Christian Cage. Match started with lots of feeling out, tie-ups yet no real action. The crowd seemed restless at the beginning but it soon picked up, Cage hit a side headlock takedown and Sting used head scissors to get out of it, Cage comes up and Sting clotheslines him over the top rope. On the outside Sting got sent into the steel steps twice allowing Cage to gain control and throw Sting back in. In the ring he dropped a couple elbows and then locked in a headlock, Sting fought out of it and hit a back breaker followed by a leg drop and a near fall. Sting continued on offense hitting a splash in the corner and then missing in another, Cage hit a low blow that the ref didn't see and climbed on top of Sting landing several punches in a row. Sting rolled Sting to the outside and as Cage reached down to pick him up Sting pulled Cage's head hard into the ring post, Cage went down and when he came back up more than half of his face was already covered in blood. Sting put him back in the ring and hit a sidewalk slam then a ddt and a near fall. After Cage got up again Sting hit several clotheslines in a row, the crowd then looked towards the entrance and then the referee got on the apron telling Abyss who had walked down to the ring to leave. Behind the referee's back Cage threw Sting to the outside and nailed him over the head with a chair, rolled him back in and pulled the referee away, he only got a two count but the crowd was very hot at this point, all standing and screaming. Cage then started to argue with the referee and as he turned around Sting sweeped him down and locked in the Scorpian Death Lock, Cage tried to get to the ropes but Sting pulled him back towards the center of the ring and Cage tapped out at 23:32 allowing Sting to retain the NWA World Championship. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] As soon as the bell rang Abyss got right in the ring and started stomping and hammering away at Sting, the cheers quickly turned into boo's. As Cage slowly got to his feet, his face now dripping with blood he joined in the assault on Sting. Cage then started fighting off security that was running down to the ring, James Mitchell dumped the thumbtacks in the ring and Abyss hit Sting with the Black Hole Slam onto the tacks. To end the show Cage held Abyss's arm up in the air as Tenay and West said they were shocked at what was happening. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] That is all for TNA Genesis, make sure to check back soon, PWI will have several notes and news coming out of the show and leading into iMPACT this Thursday on Spike TV.

Nick425 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 [B][B][/B][/B][COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/25/06- TNA iMPACT Preview & Notes By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] TNA CEO Kevin Treyhill and the rest of the TNA staff and talent were said to be very happy with how the show went last night, especially considering they only had four hours to build it. It should be interesting to see their next PPV since they will now have four, two hour shows to set it up. No matches have been announced yet for iMPACT tomorrow night but said to be on the show are Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Raven, Rhino, Chris Sabin, Sting, Abyss, Christian Cage and Konnan with a message to Team 3D. If you enjoyed the fantastic match that Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles had at Genesis then you will be pleased to know the feud should continue for quite some time now, surely it will give us many more classic matches. One injury note coming out of Geneis, Alex Shelley was said to have a very sore back on Monday after his bump to from the ring to the outside of the floor not protected by mats. Everyone was very impressed with him taking such a risk and he isn't expected to miss any in-ring time due to it, although that could change. It is still not known if the Raven/Billy Kidman alliance will form into a stable such as The Flock or if they will continue as a team, for now it looks like they will just stay a team until someone else signs and joins them, if that happens at all. Make sure to check back here soon for full TNA iMPACT result with the fallout from Genesis, two hours of TNA that should be very interesting after the PPV.

Nick425 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 [B][B][/B][/B][COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/24/06- TNA iMPACT Results from Pensacola, Flordia By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] This was the first edition of iMPACT since Genesis, so the fall out should be interesting, not to mention it was coming from a new town for TNA, Pensacola. Lets not waste anytime, here are the results... The show kicked off with Mike Tenay and Don West going right into the hype for the main event of the evening and it sounded like a good one. Kurt Angle teaming up with Christopher Daniels to take on Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. [B]Overall Rating: C[/B] Next up we had an announcement handed down by Jim Cornette for Tenay and West to announce, an eight man tournament to decide a number one contender for Chris Sabin and his X-Division title at Turning Point. The participants would be Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, Billy Kidman, Sonjay Dutt, Senshi, Petey Williams, Jay Lethal and Elix Skipper. All four first round matches would be tonight with winners having their second matches next week on iMPACT. [B]Overall Rating: D[/B] Next we had the NWA World Champion Sting come to the ring with a very serious look on his face. He gets in the ring and says he doesn't understand why Christian Cage and Abyss seem to want to work together given their past, but he knows it must be to take him down. As NWA champion he knows he is in the sights of many people, but he wont just sit back and not fight back. He then challenged Abyss and Cage to a match tonight and that he would have a partner picked out. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] Christian Cage and Abyss come out on the stage and Cage says he speaks for both of them when he says they will be happy to accept Sting's challenge except lets make it at Turning Point. Cage said he knows Sting wont be able to find a partner capable of helping him beat Abyss and himself, so anyone is welcome to participate and they expect to know the partner next week so they can adjust their gameplan. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] In the first match of the evening we had Raven with Billy Kidman taking on Ron “The Truth” Killings, started off with the crowd not very into it but they slowly built up. Raven tried to use a chair several times but the referee grabbed it from his hands, each time allowing Killings to capitalize. Killings was getting tons of good heat from the fans, Raven on the other hand was really getting some nice heel heat. After a huge boot to the face Billy Kidman got on the apron, Raven rolled to the outside and grabbed a chair, while Killings and the referee were yelling at Kidman. Raven grabbed Killings and hit the evenflow on the chair, then pushing it out of the ring, the referee turned around and Raven picked up the win at 9:54. Looks like Kidman will do anything to help him win, and vice versa. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] We’re then taken to the back where cameras have caught AJ Styles yelling something about Christopher Daniels at a event staff worker. AJ then walks away flipping over tables and throwing chairs, yelling the entire time. [B]Overall Rating: B[/B] Next up we had the first match of the #1 contender for the X-Divison championhsip, Alex Shelley vs. Billy Kidman. Kidman was heavily booed due to what happened in the last match, Shelley on the other hand looked to be good after his bump to the floor at Genesis. Started off with standing switches and side headlocks, Shelley had control for the first part of the match, Kidman gained momentum after a stiff dropkick to the face. After more standing switches Shelley took him down with head scissors, Kidman broke out stood up and basically speard Shelley into the corner but the referee went right in with them, leaving Kidman standing. Just then Raven slides into the ring and hits the evenflow on Kidman, then pulls the referee over! Shelley rolls over and makes the cover and gets the win at 9:03 to advance to the semi-finals next week. After the match Raven picked up Kidman and carried him away, helping him to the back. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Next up was the second tournament match, it would be Senshi vs. Sonjay Dutt. Senshi didn’t look to be too happy at all, possibly feeling he has earned a shot without the tournament. He took it out on Dutt though, this was just a massacre you could say, Dutt got in a couple offensive moves, other than that he tasted the boot of Senshi countless times. The match went on pretty long for what it was though, the action went to the outside and Senshi even hit a legdrop from the apron while Dutt was on the gaurdrail, similar to RVD, just no spin. To finish it off Senshi caught Dutt on the top rope and manuvered him to send him crashing down with a powerbomb from the top, then picking up the win at 11:52. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After that a video recap is shown from what happened at Genesis between Team 3D and LAX. The brutal attack on Konan was shown, as was LAX still picking up the win without Konana at ringside. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] After that a video interview is shown that was done on Monday after Genesis, Jeremy Borash is with Konan in a Flordia hospital. Konan said he couldn’t leave because of the severe loss of blood that he suffered at the hands of Team 3D, however he promised revenge would be carried out and it would be the most brutal thing anyone in TNA has ever witnessed. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] Next up was the third tournament match of the night, Jay Lethal vs. Elix Skipper. This was shorter than the last two, yet filled with some good action. Skipper went into the gaurdrail after missing a suicide dive, Lethal layed him on the floor and hit a moonsault off the ring apron onto him. Both went back in the ring and continued to go back and forth, Lethal got a near fall with a hurricanrana into a pin and after kicking out Skipper dropped lethal with a double underhook into a back breaker. After escaping another back breaker attempt Lethal rolled up Skipper with a small package and got the win at 9:40 to advance to next week. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] The fourth and final match of the opening round for the tournament took place next, with Austin Aries facing off against Petey Williams. Williams took control early with a back body drop, sidewalk slam and several kicks. Aries took it back after a spring board leg drop followed by an asai moonsault and a near fall. Aries hit a spinning back elbow followed by a piledriver for another near fall but soon after that Williams gained control again and wouldn’t give it up. After a near fall with a sunset flip, Williams ducked a clothes line, gave Aries a kick to the stomach and hit the Canadian Destroyer for the win at 10:49 and the right to advance on to next week. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] Backstage Mike Awesome walks up to his locker and see’s a note laying on one of his bags, he reads it and smiles, then walks out of the room with the smile still on his face. [B]Overall Rating: F[/B] Tag team action was next, two of the teams that have been chasing LAX were set to go at it, Team 3D vs. America’s Most Wanted. Harris and Devon started off trading shots and elbows, then boots to the stomach. Harris sent Devon to the corner and Storm hit him from behind. For several minutes Harris and Storm tagged in and out keeping Devon in their corner until Devon hit flying body press allowing him to make the tag to Brother Ray who cleaned house. Ray hit inverted atomic drops on Harris and Storm, then got a two count on Storm. A sit down powerbomb and then another two count. With Team 3D now in control Devon worked on Storm, back to back clotheslines followed by hip tosses. Storm made a tag but Harris went down right away with a drop kick, then Brother Ray came in hitting a chin breaker on Harris that sent him through the ropes to the outside. Devon threw Storm over the top and then Brother Ray yelled for Devon to get the tables. Before Devon could leave the ring LAX slid into the ring and started to assault Team 3D with lead pipes. The referee called for the bell as LAX nailed AMW as they tried to get back into the ring as well. The match ended in a draw at 13:12. [B]Overall Rating: C+[/B] After the match Homicide got a microphone and told Team 3D that they would get a shot at LAX and the Tag titles at Turning Point, however it would be sweet revenge for the attack on Konan. It would be LAX’s choice of match and they promised to reveal it next week on iMPACT, only saying it’s something that has never been done in TNA before. [B]Overall Rating: C-[/B] Time for the main event of the evening, Christopher Daniels and Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. To start off Angle and Joe stood toe to toe, then traded blows, Joe went around and hit a release german suplex, Angle got up quick and hit the same on Joe. Collar and elbow tie up and Joe had Angle backed into the corner, after several shoulder thrusts Joe let Angle out and Angle did a double leg take down and started raining down right hands. Joe shoved Angle off both men stood up and tagged in their partners. Styles and Daniels started with a tie up and several exchanges of reversals off arm bars, Styles took Daniels down with a spinning leg lock and kept it on for a minute or more. Daniels rolled out of it and into the ropes although Styles didn’t break it until Angle came in and stomped Styles which caused Joe to come in and take Angle to the outside. Daniels and Styles followed out and before you knew it all four were brawling on the outside for quite some time. Styles and Daniels went into the crowd for a minute and then returned to the ring. Daniels locked in a single leg crab, Styles rolled through and hit a perfect dropkick, then tagged in Joe. Joe hti a belly to belly suplex right away, then another. Daniels got a drop toe hold but Joe moved out of the way when Daniels went for a splash, then tagged in Styles again. Daniels hit a dropkick of his own on Styles and tagged in Angle. Angle hit back to back german suplexes on Styles, on the third try Styles went around and did a rolling crutch pin for a two count. Daniels came in to break it up which caused Joe to come in, Joe threw Angle to the outside again which left Daniels and Styles. Styles went for the Styles Clash but Daniels escaped and hit the Last Rites, then got the pin despite being the illegal man at 19:58. [B]Overall Rating: B+[/B] After the match Joe and Angle brawled up the entrance ramp into the back, Styles was clearly upset that Daniels beat him once again and grabbed a chair and hit several hard shots on Daniels, causing him to bleed. Then hit the Styles Clash on the chair just like at Genesis and left Daniels bleeding in the ring to end the show.

Nick425 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 [B][B][/B][/B][COLOR="Red"][CENTER][SIZE="3"][B]-11/25/06- Tons of TNA News from iMPACT By Keith Anderson[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] (Taken from pwinsider.com)[/CENTER] Word coming out of Pensacola and people surrounding TNA is that it's known last nights show wasn't on par with what they have been putting on. CEO Kevin Treyhill was quoted as saying "even if it was our worst show it was still one hell of an effort by everyone involved." Sting's parter for Turning Point is still not known at all yet and TNA will be keeping the screws tightened on the secret until next week. If anything breaks out though check back here for the lastest. It is also not yet known what the stipulation will be for LAX's rematch against Team 3D, it's supposed to be brutal and never before in done in TNA, should be interesting. The worker backstage that AJ Styles was yelling at on iMPACT does work for TNA, his name is Greg Trufante and he works on the video editing team. Rumors are going around that either the final match in the X-Division tournament or the championship match could be an Ultimate X match, only rumors so far though.
