[B]Christian Cage[/B] vs. Rhino (NWA Title) [I]I prefer Rhino, but I think with TNA trying to pick up new fans and gain mainstream audiences Christian Cage is a champion that needs to be kept. Has the look of a champion and the skills to boot.[/I] [B]Chris Sabin[/B] vs. Jay Lethal (X Title) [I]I prefer Sabin[/I] [B]LAX[/B] vs. VKM (Tag Titles) [I]Go with the future, my friend! VKM are yesterdays news, LAX are fantastic.[/I] Scott Steiner vs. [B]Samoa Joe[/B] (#1 Contender's Match) [I]Hate Steiner, love Joe.[/I] A.J. Styles vs. [B]Kurt Angle[/B] [I]The way the shows been building up seems like Angle will get the win[/I] Sting vs. [B]Abyss[/B] [I]Sting needs to let other guys go over him, and Abyss is one of the better monsters around at the moment[/I] The Naturals vs. [B]Team 3D[/B] (#1 Contender's Match) [I]I don't want them too, but I think a Team 3D feud with LAX makes more sense. I would prefer the Naturals though[/I] [B]Christopher Daniels[/B] vs. Senshi [I]No real reason[/I] Pre-Show: [B]Robert Roode[/B] vs. Eric Young [I]I like Roode, I think he could be a really big deal if used properly[/I]

[COLOR="White"]News[/COLOR] [QUOTE] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Gerweck.jpg[/IMG] Newswire for 2/12/07: The rating is in for TNA Impact on SpikeTV, and the result is a 9.97, which is up almost an entire point from last week's show, which should help TNA resign with SpikeTV in the upcoming week. ECW has gotten a new influx of talent once again, as this time Raw stars Shelton Benjamin and Eugene have been switched over to the brand. Many feel that Benjamin can shine on the ECW roster, and finally reach the level many thought he was capable of for years. Be sure to check back here tomorrow for any late breaking news on TNA's Against All Odds pay-per-view, and to find out if they broke any ground on resigning their contract with SpikeTV. [/QUOTE]

[COLOR="White"]News[/COLOR] [QUOTE] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Gerweck.jpg[/IMG] Newswire for 2/13/07 The rating is in for WWE Friday Night Smackdown, which was a 18.26, and that is up slightly from last week. This keeps WWE's impresive ratings streak going, and all three of their networks are thrilled with the high ratings that the shows are bringing in. Earlier this week it was announced that Bob Sapp had signed with All Japan Pro Wrestling. In his first match, Sapp won the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, in what has to be considered one of the most sucessful debuts in wrestling history. [/QUOTE]

[B]Christian Cage[/B] vs. Rhino (NWA Title) Christian Cage is exactly the man to main event regularly for TNA, alongside Angle. [B]Chris Sabin [/B]vs. Jay Lethal (X Title) Sabin has more going for him long term and currently than Lethal. [B]LAX[/B] vs. VKM (Tag Titles) LAX has a load of potential, if you ask me. Scott Steiner vs. [B]Samoa Joe[/B] (#1 Contender's Match) Samoa Joe has to go over here. Steiner has to put over these stars for him to be effective. A.J. Styles vs. [B]Kurt Angle[/B] I'm going Kurt Angle. To me he should be the cornerstone of TNA. Sting vs. [B]Abyss[/B] Abyss to go over Sting. It's time for Abyss to make a really dominant move. [B]The Naturals[/B] vs. Team 3D (#1 Contender's Match) Again, Team 3D should put over the Naturals. They just need a good, long push and they could be the cornerstone of the tag division alongside LAX and AMW. Christopher Daniels vs[B].Senshi[/B] Senshi has got a great push in TNA, I really like what I see. Daniels is great, I don't think putting Senshi over will hurt his long term prospects. Pre-Show: [B]Robert Roode[/B] vs. Eric Young Robert Roode is arrogant. I like that. :D

On the eve of their first pay-per-view under a new booker, they have announced that they have struck a deal with SpikeTV to keep their current time slot for 4 seasons, which gives TNA the security of staying in the national spotlight that they were looking for. They have not given up on a two hour show, and next time rescheduling comes around, TNA plans to pitch the two hour idea to SpikeTV once again. But this is good news for TNA, and later tonight, they try to build on this by putting on a good pay-per-view. [/QUOTE]

The crowd is shown, and the majority of signs that they have are for The Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle, and say bad things about NWA World Champion Christian Cage. The camera then pans down to Mike Tenay and Don West, who address the home fans, catching them up to speed as to what is going to be going down at the pay-per-view tonight.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"][U]Mike Tenay[/U][/SIZE][/B] [I]We would like to welcome you great TNA fans to Against All Odds, coming to you live from Universal Studios Orlando, and from inside the Impact Zone! We are bringing you a great pay-per-view tonight, and all three championships are on the line. LAX will be facing off with the Voodoo Kin Mafia for the NWA World Tag Team Titles, Chris Sabin will attempt to defend his X Division Title against Jay Lethal, and in the main event, Champion Christian Cage will face Rhino for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. We will also see two number one contender matches, one for the tag titles, and one for the world title. We will see AJ Styles face off with Kurt Angle, and Abyss and Sting will face off.[/I] [SIZE="3"][U][B]Don West[/B][/U][/SIZE] [I]That’s right Mike, this is shaping up to be a very memorable pay-per-view, as more than one matchup on this card has the chance to be a match of the year candidate, and you have to look at the A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle matchup as one that sticks out on the card more than any other, because it is what many TNA fans see as a dream matchup. But we are going to start things off with what could be a very memorable matchup, as we will see Christopher Daniels in his first one-on-one action since returning to TNA, and his first since he debuted his new attitude this week on Impact, as he attacked his opponent for tonight, Senshi, out of nowhere. So let’s get this great pay-per-view kicked off![/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Against%20All%20Odds%2007/SenshiDaniels.jpg[/IMG] [B]This was a great matchup, just like Don West predicted before the match. Senshi used his educated feet to his advantage, as he kicked Daniels all around the ring, but when Senshi would get a surge of adrenaline, Daniels would shut it down by using his specialty, his technical prowess. Senshi was gaining the upper hand, and took Daniels down with a vicious martial arts kick to the face, then went up top for the Warrior’s Way, and when he jumped, Daniels moved out of the way, then stalked Senshi, before hitting him with the Angel’s Wings for the impressive victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Christopher Daniels Time: 15:59 Match Grade: B+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg[/IMG] [B]After the match, Senshi exits the ring and heads to the back, but Christopher Daniels stays in the ring and demands that a microphone be handed to him, because he has something important to say to the TNA crowd.[/B] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Christopher Daniels[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]You all just saw why I am the greatest wrestler to ever grace the TNA ring. While I was gone, this place barely got by. Now that I’m back, this place will blossom, because people will be tuning in to see me wrestle. But let me tell you something, for me to take this promotions to new heights I can’t do so in the X Division, because let’s face it, the X Division is full of loser nowadays. So I’d like to officially announce that I am done with the X Division as of this moment, and I am onto bigger and better things, namely, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. And when I capture that prestigious title for the first time, TNA will rise to new levels that it has never been before![/I] [SIZE="3"][B]Grade: B-[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/JeremyBorash.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherRay.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherDevon.jpg[/IMG] Jeremy Borash appears backstage, and he begins to speak to the TNA crowd. [U][SIZE="3"]Jeremy Borash[/B][/SIZE][/U] [I]Up next is the number one contender’s match for the NWA World Tag Team Championships, and I am standing by with Brother Ray and Brother Devon, Team 3D.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"][U]Brother Ray[/U][/SIZE][/B] [I]Borash, Team 3D has been in TNA for over a year now, and how many times have we held the NWA World Tag Team Titles? If you guessed none, you are correct. We are not in this business for championships, but I think it is about time that we go for those titles. We have held every other tag team title in wrestling, so why not add the NWA Titles to our resume as well. We don’t care who we have to beat for them, LAX, VKM, it doesn’t matter. All we know is tonight, we will go through The Naturals, as those two boys are just innocent bystanders in the way of Team 3D’s road to the tag team titles, isn’t that right Devon?[/I] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Brother Devon[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]Oh my brother, TESTIFY![/I] [SIZE="3"][B]Grade: B-[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Against%20All%20Odds%2007/3DNaturals.jpg[/IMG] [B]The Naturals came out in this matchup on fire, much to the surprise of everybody in attendance, and they isolated Brother Ray for a couple of minutes, not letting him get to Brother Devon. They used some very innovative tag team moves on him. Eventually though, Brother Ray found an opening, and hit both Stevens and Douglas with a double clothesline, then made the tag to Brother Devon, who cleaned house. They threw Stevens out of the ring, and then hit Andy Douglas with the 3D, picking up the win and becoming the number one contender to the tag team gold.

You are one of the reasons I got into wrestling, and I hope I can sell out the Garden like you did one day. So Kev, I just want to tell you, thanks a lot buddy.[/I] [B]Lethal then puts his hand on Nash’s shoulder, who has had his back turned to him during his heart felt speech.

Where you saying something? I was just on the phone with Bob Backlund if you couldn’t hear. We were talking about the glory days on the road.

Well kid, what can I say, good luck out there, and win one for us black men.[/I] [B]Lethal gets a very puzzled look on his face, then turns around and walks off, as Nash gets back on the phone and asks Backlund if he remembers the time Ludvig Borga streaked across Times Square.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Against%20All%20Odds%2007/SabinLethal.jpg[/IMG] [B]Jay Lethal came out in this match, and looked to take the very unique pep talk from Kevin Nash to heart, as he put it all out there, trying everything he could to take the X Division Championship away from Chris Sabin. Sabin was caught off guard by how Jay Lethal was all over him in the match. Sabin started having things go his way eventually, and set Lethal up for a hesitation dropkick, but Lethal moved at the last second, and Sabin dropkicked the bottom turnbuckle. Lethal then went after Sabin, but he reversed one of Lethal’s holds and rolled him up, and then grabbed the middle rope and got the cheap victory to retain his title.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner and Still X Division Champion: Chris Sabin Time: 10:18 Match Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChrisSabin.jpg[/IMG] [B]Chris Sabin grabbed the microphone as he left the ring, and was laughing hysterically.

Just look at Abyss. He’s six-foot-eight, he weights three hundred and fifty pounds. Abyss is my personal instrument of destruction, and tonight, he will do my bidding, because Sting, it’s about time that you step away from the spotlight, and Abyss steps back into it. All I have to do is give the word, and Abyss will tear you limb from limb. Sting, look at the clock.

I couldn’t help but overhearing what Jim Mitchell had to say backstage, saying I needed to step out of the spotlight. Let me tell you something Jim, I’m not about the spotlight. With me it’s all about right and wrong. Either you are a good person, and do things the right way, or you are like Jim Mitchell, and you are evil personified. Mitchell, I am going to go through your monster tonight, then it’s on to you, and I will rid TNA of the dark spot that you are, because believe me, this place will be much better without you around.

After brawling through the crowd, they finally entered the ring, where the ref rang the bell. Sting quickly took Abyss down with the Scorpion Death Drop, then locked in the Scorpion Death Lock. Abyss was ready to tap out, but then used his strength to get Sting off of him. Sting forced Abyss into the corner, then ran at him and went for the Stinger Splash, but Abyss caught him by the throat in mid air, and slammed him to the mat with a chokeslam. Abyss went to pin Sting, but Mitchell said no, and told Abyss to drag Sting outside. Abyss dragged Sting up the ramp, as Mitchell directed him to a stack of tables on the floor. Abyss set Sting up on the stage, ready to chokeslam him off, but Sting fought back, and got himself free. He quickly turned around and went after James Mitchell, and took him down. He then sprinted at Abyss, who caught him and lifted him up into the torture rack. Mitchell then yelled DOOMSDAY from the ground, and Abyss ran at the edge of the stage and leaped off, crashing himself and Sting through the tables with the most extreme Shock Treatment ever seen. Referees then rushed out and quickly called the match a no-decision, as both men needed medical attention, and James Mitchell got up and looked on laughing.

Homicide and Hernandez will do anything it takes to win, and it doesn’t matter if you people like them or not, they’ll get the job done each and every week.

They fight all over the place, and eventually make it into the ring, where the VKM controls the pace of the match, using their experience together to counter the sheer athleticism and raw talent of the LAX. At one point Kip James hit his finisher on Homicide, but Konnan broke up the count, saving the titles for his team. Hernandez then starts jawing with the official, allowing Konnan to throw the flapjack into Homicide. Homicide hits Kip James in the head with it, and when BG confronts him, Homicide hits him with the Gringo Killa, then tags in Hernandez, who hits a Border Toss for good measure, then pins BG James for the successful title defense.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winners and Still NWA Tag Team Champions: Latin American Xchange Time: 10:53 Match Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/MikeTenay.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/DonWest.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE="3"][B][U]Mike Tenay[/U][/B][/SIZE] [I]And up next is the match that wrestling fans around the world have wanted to see for many years.

Now A.J., I will not argue that you know your way around the ring, but your attitude is complete crap. You have skills that can take you to the top, but your attitude will not get you anywhere.

Angle eventually turned the tide back towards him, and he hit Styles with a variety of suplexes, showing why people say he is the best wrestler in the business today. Styles turned the tide yet again with a pele kick, but Angle got it back just as fast, and then locked Styles in the Ankle Lock.

The lights come back on, and the arena gasps as The King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett is standing behind Angle with a guitar in hand. Angle turns around, and Jarrett hits him square between the eyes with the guitar, causing it to shatter into a million pieces, as Kurt Angle lays on the ground, bleeding yet again from a foreign object shot.

I make this title look good. I bring a certain prestige to it. If Rhino held it again it would be like school in the summer, no class. Now everybody get your notebooks out and take some notes, because Rhino is going to get schooled. Now that’s how I roll![/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Against%20All%20Odds%2007/ChristianRhino.jpg[/IMG] [B]The crowd is absolutely electric for this main event title match, and Rhino used the words from Christian as fuel, as he came out and used his tree trunk like arms and legs to stomp a mudhole into Christian. Cage even though about walking away at one point, and before he reached the tunnel Rhino ran up and dragged him back into the ring. Christian outsmarted Rhino though, because he got back up, and when Rhino got back into the ring Christian jumped him. Christian stayed on top of him for quite some time, not letting him get any offense in. Christian stayed on offense for a few minutes, until Rhino broke the flow up, and shoved Christian away. Rhino then charged at Christian, ready to Gore him out of his boots, but Cage sidestepped the challenger, and Rhino Gored the corner post, which didn’t give at all. Rhino then staggered back from the pain, and Christian caught him from behind, and spiked him down to the mat with the Unprettier, and got the pinfall victory. The pay-per-view then goes off the air with Christian holding his title up in the air, triumphant after beating Rhino, as the fans did not celebrate with him as they did a year ago.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner and Still NWA World Heavyweight Champion: Christian Cage Time: 14:41 Match Grade: B [/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Overall Grade: B-[/CENTER][/QUOTE][/SIZE][/B]

Nice job on the logos and stuff Shayne, gives it a very cool look. In a game I'm running with TNA myslef, I booked nearly the exact same programs with the same outcomes :eek:. I'll be really keen to see where you take things, the main event scene can be hard to manage while growing it should throw up a few challenges that will make this dynasty an even better read. Joe is gonna kill Christian!!!

First is that Kurt Angle was legitimatly injured after taking a guitar shot from the returning Jeff Jarrett. A shard of wood broke off from the guitar and cut the arm of Kurt Angle, and he was officially diagnosed with a gashed arm, and can work through the injury, but will be favoring his arm in matchups, if he is put in any in the coming weeks. [B][U]TNA Buyrate Troubles[/U][/B] TNA also recieved a fairly low pay-per-view buy rate for Against All Odds in the eyes of their three biggest pay-per-view providers. All though the 2.82 has been the highest pay-per-view buyrate for any PPV this month, they still say that if TNA doesn't bring in more buys, they will be released from their contracts. [B][U]New Japanese Signings[/U][/B] In news from Japan, New Japan Pro Wrestling has inked Milano Collection AT to a contract, and he is expected to debut for the biggest promotion in Japan very soon. IWA-Japan also revealed that they have signed former WWE Superstar Kenzo Suzuki to a pay-per-apperance deal. [/QUOTE]

The show saw Umaga defend his Intercontinental Title against Super Crazy, Melina once again defend her Women's Title against Mickie James, Cena and Michaels defend their Tag Team Titles against Kenny Dykstra and Chris Masters, and in the main event, The Great Khali and Edge defeated Ric Flair and Randy Orton. The show got a 26.72 rating, which is slightly up from what they had last week. [B][U]New Champion In NOAH.....Yet Again[/U][/B] In what many feel is coming more and more rediculous, the GHC Heavyweight Championship changed hands for the fourth time in four matches. This time Akitoshi Saito defeated KENTA in his first attempt at a defense. Many felt KENTA would hold the belt for quite some time, but they proved to be wrong. Many are wondering who will hold the title next, and they shouldn't have to wait very long to find out. [/QUOTE]

He leaves behind the ROH World Championship, leaving it vacated, and forcing ROH to crown a new champion. This is so shocking because everything was going Morishima's way in the last month. He was ROH World Champion, he had held the GHC Heavyweight Championship, and was becoming a major star. It is yet to be seen how he will be used in AJPW. [B][U]New Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Champion[/U][/B] Last night at PWG's Black and White Event, Petey Williams claimed the PWG Championship, winning it for the first time.

Now Joe, everybody knows you are one dangerous individual, but you have eaten about 260 too many jelly donuts to even contend with me.

It is no easy feat to beat Rhino like you did, so I must commend you for getting the job done. Now onto your match at Destination X with Samoa Joe, well, what was supposed to be your match with Samoa Joe. There has been some developments in the last week, so it will no longer be Christian Cage versus Samoa Joe going one-on-one. See, there is a TNA wrestler who has been in my ear all week, and he would not quit harassing me until I gave him a title shot a Destination X, and while I do not like this annoying little fart, I must admit he has a point, he did beat one of the greatest wrestlers alive at Against All Odds. [B]So at Destination X, it will be a triple threat match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. It will be the champion, Christian Cage, defending his title against Samoa Joe, and The Phenomenal A.J. Styles![/B] A.J. threw out some good points, so I felt he deserved to be added to the mix, and I think this is the best move for the fans, this match should be one of the greatest matches that the Impact Zone has ever seen.

You have arguably two of the most talented wrestlers on the TNA roster, and we get to see them face off on Impact! Boy, I can’t wait.

And let me tell you something else, next week on Impact, there will be a special announcement regarding that matchup, and that will kick off Impact next week. But now onto matters at hand, we have a X Division Champion running around crying about not having any competition, and we can’t have that. So for tonight, I have thrown together a little four man match consisting of TNA’s greatest X Division talent, and the winner of this match will face Chris Sabin one-on-one at Destination X for his X Division Championship. Now how’s that for competition Mr. Sabin? I’ll now throw it to the ring so you can see this great X Division action.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C-[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/PeteyWilliams.jpg[/img] vs. [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/MattBentley.jpg[/img] vs. [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Senshi.jpg[/img] vs. [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SonjayDutt.jpg[/img] [B][SIZE="3"]Petey Williams versus Matt Bentley versus Senshi versus Sonjay Dutt[/SIZE][/B] [B]All four men came out in this match firing on all cylinders, knowing that whoever wins this match has cashed their ticket for an X Division Title match at Destination X versus Chris Sabin. Late in the match Petey Williams had Sonjay Dutt set up for the Canadian Destroyer, but Senshi thrust kicked him in the face before he could get it off. Senshi then went to hit the Warrior’s Way on Williams, but he was dropkicked out of midair by Sonjay Dutt. Dutt then went up top to hit the Hindu press on Senshi, and connected. He then stood up, only to be met with a superkick from Matt Bentley. Bentley then went for the cover on Dutt, but he was rolled up from behind by Senshi, who got the pinfall victory and the title match.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner and Number One Contender to the X Division Title: Senshi Time: 6:55 Match Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherRay.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherDevon.jpg[/img] [B]Brother Ray and Brother Devon hit the ring, ready for action.

We have taken our time to climb up to the top of TNA’s tag team division, but we are on the verge of capturing the only major tag team gold that we have never held. The only thing standing in our way is that rat Konnan and his goons Homicide and Hernandez.

Starr and Shelley had some communication troubles, after all the problems that they have had with each other in the last couple of months. Team 3D threw Austin Starr out of the ring, then set Alex Shelley up for the 3D, when out of nowhere Homicide made his way down to the ring. He distracted the ref, and out of the other tunnel came Hernandez. Hernandez was wielding the flapjack, and he hit both members of Team 3D in the face with it, knocking them out cold. Alex Shelley then fell on top of Brother Devon, and got the shocking victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winners: Alex Shelley and Austin Starr Time: 7:29 Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Homicide.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Hernandez.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherRay.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/BrotherDevon.jpg[/img] [B]After the match LAX entered the ring and taunted Team 3D, then each man lifted a member of Team 3D up, and Homicide hit Brother Devon with a Gringo Killa, and then Hernandez hit the Border Toss on Brother Ray, which caused him to fly over Brother Ray.

That doesn’t sit too well with me, and you saw that at the end of Impact last week when I destroyed Jeff Jarrett. Now Jeff, I took it easy on you last week because I want you to still to be able to walk at Destination X, because I’ve got you one-on-one, and guess what? I’m gonna break your damn ankle!

Lethal’s biggest attempt came with him trying to hit a double axe handle off the top rope, but Abyss caught him by the throat and chokeslamed him down to the mat. Abyss then picked Lethal up, irish whipped him, then hit the Black Hole Slam for the easy victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"] Winner: Abyss Time: 4:52 Match Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Sting.jpg[/img] [B]As Abyss and James Mitchell start to leave the ring, the lights go down and a white spotlight flashes around the arena.

You have been on quite the terror in the last few weeks. And I must admit, after you took us on a death plunge a couple of weeks ago, I had questions if I would even come back to the Impact Zone. Then I thought of all the little Stingers here cheering me week in and week out. Then I thought of you and that monster James Mitchell torturing all of them in my absence, so, here I am, in living color. And in regards to your challenge for a Last Man Standing match at Destination X, IT’S SHOWTIME![/i] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: B+[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/JeremyBorash.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Rhino.jpg[/img] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Jeremy Borash[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]I’m standing by with the War Machine Rhino.

And I must admit as much as I hate that CLB, he was the better man in our match. Now onto Scott Steiner, you think you deserved that main event match. Well now is the time to man up and prove it to me. But I have some bad news, I was talking to Jim Cornette, and he said he can’t allow us to get into the ring one-on-one at this time, something about not having enough insurance to cover all the damage that we would cause. But here is what he did tell me, at Destination X we will be participating in a tag team match. I get to pick a partner, you get to pick a partner. Now I already have my choice, and I will reveal him next week, so Scott, good hunting, I’m eager to see who you choose.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AJStyles.jpg[/img] vs. [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg[/img] [B][SIZE="3"]A.J. Styles versus Samoa Joe[/SIZE][/B] [B]These two men have a great history together, and it showed, because every time they would try to hit a signature move, the other had it well scouted and was able to get out of the way, or reverse it into another move. The match started to break down when neither man could get the upper hand, and it spilled out of the ring. The referee warned them to get back in the ring, but they would not listen, and the referee started to count both men out. When he reached five Joe locked in the Koquina Clutch on Styles, and he blatantly ignored the count as he choked Styles out. The referee then reached ten and declared this match a double count out, but Samoa Joe clearly got the best of Styles in this one.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Double Count-Out Time: 8:46 Match Rating: B+[/SIZE][/B] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AJStyles.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChristianCage.jpg[/img] [B]As Joe continued to choke Styles out, Christian Cage ran down the tunnel and attack Joe from behind, causing him to release the hold. Christian continued to attack Joe as Styles to his wits back, and he joined in with Christian in pummeling Joe for the second straight week. They backed Joe up to the announce table, where Joe found a chair, and he used it, swinging it like crazy, and he connected with chair shots to the head of both men, taking them down, and seemingly knocking them both out. Samoa Joe then folded the chair out, and put the legs around Christian Cage’s neck. He then grabbed the title and sat in the chair, and held the title up. Impact goes off the air with Joe posing with the title, Styles laying on the ground bleeding, and the NWA World Champion gasping for air as one of his challengers holds his title in the air.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: B+ Overall Grade: B[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE][/CENTER]

This time it went down a tenth of a point, as it is down to 9.09. TNA management are not worried about this rating, as they feel that it is part of the natural ups and downs that come with running a wrestling promotion.
