LAX quickly got Senshi out of the picture by double teams, then focused on the little brother of their rivals, Team 3D. Brother Runt fought back with everything he had in his one hundred and fifty pound frame, but the teamwork of LAX proved to be too much. Senshi tried to get in their and help Brother Runt, but he was unceremoniously thrown from the ring.

You have just taken this little feud from professional straight up to personal. It’s one thing to mess with us, that comes with the territory. But then you go out there and destroy our little Brother Runt. That just crossed the line, and now we have no choice but to beat you down at Lockdown and take those NWA Tag Team Championships off your waists.

Steiner was looking to get a warmup for his match with Rhino in a little over two weeks. He pushed Smiley around the ring for a few minutes, and just plain toyed with him. He put him in the Steiner Recliner, but he released it before Norman could tap out, just to add insult to injury. The referee then went to check on Smiley, who was severely hurt from the beat down, when Rhino snuck into the ring and Gored Steiner almost out of his boots. Smiley then rolled over onto Steiner, and got the shocking victory![/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Norman Smiley Time: 4:32 Match Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/NormanSmiley.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg[/IMG] [B]Norman Smiley then stood in the ring, holding his head, but when he realized that he just beat Scott Steiner, he started big wiggling like there was no tomorrow. He big wiggled next to all six sides of the ring, and the fans went absolutely crazy for the lovable character. But he probably should have waited for Scott Steiner to leave because he almost beheaded him with a clothesline. Steiner then went out and got a steel pipe, reentered the ring, and laid Smiley out with it.

Jeff Jarrett looked like he was going to have none of this though, and every time Young would get something going, he would do something dirty.

Starr and Shelley have seemed to abandoned the X-Division though in favor of gaining tag team glory. They used great teamwork to control the majority of the match, but Williams used his great skill to get his team back in it. He hit a big DDT, then tagged in Sonjay Dutt, who went for the Hindu Press, but Kevin Nash knocked him off the top. This drew Williams out of the ring, and allowed Shelley to jump Dutt. They then set Dutt up for the Star Maker, and spiked him into the mat for yet another victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winners: Starr and Shelley Time: 5:02 Match Grade: C[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/KurtAngle.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AJStyles.jpg[/IMG] [B]Backstage the camera shows Kurt Angle signing autographs for some of his fans backstage.

Abyss chases Killings around the ring, and Killings used his speed to avoid shots from Abyss, and then land quick shots of his own. As Killings kept avoiding moves, James Mitchell became increasingly frustrated with Abyss, and he finally had enough and tripped Killings with his cane. This allowed Abyss to hit Killings with some strong blows. Killings fought back though, and went for the axe kick, but Abyss caught him with a Chokeslam instead. Mitchell then signaled for Doomsday, and Abyss threw Killings off the ropes, then hit the Black Hole Slam for a very hard fought victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Abyss Time: 7:32 Match Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Abyss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Sting.jpg[/IMG] [B]James Mitchell then got in the ring, and he signaled for Abyss to destroy Killings.

They then flickered back on low, with a single spotlight in the rafters, revealing Sting pointing his baseball bat straight at Abyss.

[QUOTE=deimos_masque;211132]Might want to try locking on some Written Contracts before you loose them.[/QUOTE] And there lies the problem. TNA is only a high cult level to start out with, so nobody will sign a written contract with them. I've tried that anyways just to be safe, and it didn't work.

It is time for me to take the torch and run with it, because professional wrestling needs a breath of fresh air, and that’s what I represent, not those two washed up has bens. You will all see this Sunday night, and it will just be another step in my journey to be crowned NWA World Heavyweight Champion.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/RonKillings.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChristopherDaniels.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="3"]Ron Killings versus Christopher Daniels[/SIZE][/B] [B]This was a rematch from Destination X, and just like then, this match provided some great action for the fans in the Impact Zone. Daniels seemed more ready for the lightning quick speed of Killings this time around though, because he countered a lot of his moves into moves of his own. The ending came when Daniels went for the Best Moonsault Ever, then Killings moved out of the way. He then went for the axe kick, which Daniels side stepped, and then spiked Killings to the mat with the Angel’s Wings.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Christopher Daniels Time: 7:56 Match Grade: B[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Abyss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Sting.jpg[/IMG] [B]A video then plays showing all the violence over the past two months between Abyss and Sting. A video is played from Against All Odds when Abyss gave Sting the Shock Treatment off the stage through the tables, and then the next month at Destination X, when Sting slammed Abyss off the same stage through the tables below.

Senshi lit Lethal up with chops and kicks to the chest through most of it, and Lethal was forced to play defense for a good part of the match. Senshi delivered a stiff kick to Lethal, then decided to end the match, and went up for the Warrior’s Way. Kevin Nash began to distract the referee though, and Austin Starr came out and threw Senshi off the top rope. Jay Lethal then rolled him up with some tights, and the ref started counting, and Lethal got a victory thanks to the Kevin Nash School of Stardom.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Jay Lethal Time: 5:45 Match Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/KevinNash.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AustinStarr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AlexShelley.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/JayLethal.jpg[/IMG] [B]The Kevin Nash School of Stardom then filled the ring and rolled Senshi out of it, so they could make an announcement.[/B] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Kevin Nash[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]Ladies and Gentlemen of the Impact Zone! May I please have your attention. I would like to formally announce a challenge for TNA Lockdown on behalf of my three star pupils here. They were overlooked by TNA management, so we are taking matters into our own hands. What I am proposing is that my three students; the great tag team of Starr and Shelley, and Jay “Macho Man” Lethal, team to take on three X-Division superstars, namely Petey Williams, Senshi, and Sonjay Dutt. This will be a matchup so good that it should be recorded in the Bible. Isn’t that right Jay?[/I] [B][U][SIZE="3"]“Macho Man” Jay Lethal[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]OHHHH YEAH! Goin’ to Lockdown!

Now Kurt, over the past few weeks we have seen blatant shows of disrespect shown towards you from the Phenomenal One, A.J. Styles. Everything from sneak attacks, to attacking you in front of your fans at an autograph session. What do you have to say to A.J. Styles just three days away from Lockdown?[/I] [B][U][SIZE="3"]Kurt Angle[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]What do I have to say? Styles, you listen to me and you listen up good. The way I see it, you only have three days left in your life that you will be able to have use of your legs. You have crossed over the line and you have made Kurt Angle angry. We are going to be locked inside the Six Sides of Steel, and that’s the way I want it, because you will not be able to run from me A.J. And when I lock in that Ankle Lock, I’m never letting go. I’ll break your ankle, and then your leg, then we’ll see how I feel, I might not even stop there. So A.J., sleep tight these next few nights, because they could be your last few nights on this earth.

The two huge men in the ring brawled all over the place, but Samoa Joe knew exactly how to avoid the massive attacks of Scott Steiner. Joe snuck in small attacks that sent the big man reeling, and slowly but surely slowed him down inside the ring. Joe then decided to let Rhino get some, and he pounded away on Steiner for a bit, until Christian Cage got tagged in. Rhino had his way with Cage, until Christian got the opportunity to level him with a low blow, and the match turned 180 degrees from their. Cage and Steiner used frequent tags and double teams to isolate Rhino from Joe, and did this for a few minutes. Rhino eventually got free and got the hot tag in to Samoa Joe, and that’s when Christian took the high road and left Steiner all alone in the ring. He was hit by a Gore from Rhino, and then Samoa Joe choked him out with the Koquina Clutch for the victory.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Winners: Samoa Joe and Rhino Time: 10:18 Match Grade: B+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Rhino.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ScottSteiner.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChristianCage.jpg[/IMG] [B]After the match Steiner rolled out of the ring, and Joe and Rhino congratulated each other on a big win heading into their matches at Lockdown. Then all of a sudden both men were leveled from behind by a steel chair from Christian Cage. Steiner then got back in the ring and place Rhino in the Steiner Recliner, and Christian went and got another chair. He hit Joe in the back a few times to immobilize him, then placed a chair under his head. Cage then swung heard with the other chair, and sandwiched Joe’s head between the two with a thunderous Conchairto. Impact then went off the air with Cage holding up his title and a chair, with Samoa Joe bleeding and convulsing on the mat.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: B[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE="3"]Overall Grade: B-[/QUOTE][/CENTER][/SIZE][/B]

May want to change this: [quote]Christopher Daniels proved that he is WWE through and through[/quote] :) [b]Kevin Nash School of Stardom[/b] vs. Sonjay Dutt, Senshi, and Petey Williams Would prefer they didn't, but they're on a streak lately, I think they'll keep it going. [b]Jeff Jarrett and Christopher Daniels[/b] vs. Voodoo Kin Mafia Christopher Daniels will be the deciding factor X-Division Championship [b]Chris Sabin (c)[/b] vs. Ultimo Dragon Again, would prefer Ultimo, but Sabin's on a roll NWA World Tag Team Championship Latin American Xchange (c) vs. [b]Team 3D[/b] One more reign to prove they're the best of all time [b]Rhino[/b] vs. Scott Steiner A close one, but Rhino in the end A.J.

This is a huge blow for TNA, who will have Homicide and Hernandez for Lockdown and the next Impact, then their run with TNA will be over. This is very bad news for TNA, who now must rebuild their tag team division as it's stars are now working for the rival. [B][U]WWE Signs More Wrestlers[/U][/B] WWE did not stop their spending spree with LAX, they have signed Scott Hall, Chris Kanyon, Ro-Z, and have lured Trish Stratus out of her hiatus to wrestle for WWE again. In strange news though, April Hunter was released from WWE one day after signing. [B][U]Tomko Gone From TNA[/U][/B] It's official, Tomko is no longer part of the TNA roster. He lobbied to have his contract renewed, but the current TNA booking team felt like he had nothing to offer to their current situation.

Just 24 hours after stealing away the Latin American Xchange from TNA, WWE has signed away another one of their brightest stars. WWE.com announced today that they have inked a deal with Alex Shelley, a member of the Kevin Nash School of Stardom, and current ROH World Heavyweight Champion.

[B][U]TNA Rumors[/U][/B] Word is going around that TNA is taking oppertunities to get back at WWE, and are persuing two of their superstars who have expiring contracts, hoping to steal some star power back to their side. Rumor also is that they are looking for young up and coming tag teams, and they already have a few in mind that they may bring in for dark match tryouts. [/QUOTE]
