It stated that he had been offered a job with TNA in any capacity that he wanted, but he ultimatly decided that the company was not big enough for him to work for. That makes three people left that TNA is in negotiations with, and things do not look up as WWE will most likely not let them out of their grasp. [/QUOTE]

This was huge news for them beacuse they are both huge parts of the WWE puzzle. It was later revealed that these men were two of the stars that TNA was going after. Word is that they are still hoping to lure one main event talent away from WWE, and are pretty sure they will get a midcarder who is very unhappy away from the company. [B][U]ROH Action Packed Results[/U][/B] ROH Action Packed appeared on MSG again last night, and the rating stayed put at a robust 0.03. Those Suzanne Summers Thigh Master commericals better watch out, they've got some serious competition. Anyways, the main event was a good one that saw Brent Albright defeat Austin Aries. [/QUOTE]

[chris caulfield]

to be honest you were never going to be able to sign shawn michaels but you had a small chance of kennedy but unlucky hope you get the other 2.

This week Jamie Noble defended his Cruiserweight Championship against Jimmy Wang Yang, William Regal defeated Trevor Murdoch to keep United States Championship, and in the main event, King Booker defeated Batista. [B][U]WWE Re-Signs Val Venis[/U][/B] WWE announced today that they have signed Val Venis to a contract extention, even though they rarely use him. It is believed that he was signed just to keep him away from TNA, who thought that they could sign him away. TNA officials stated that Venis is an above average talent who in the right situation could have been a real star once again. This leaves one WWE superstar still left that TNA is chasing, but if they can't get Val Venis, they stand a snowball's chance in Hell of bringing this guy in. [B][U]Impact Preview[/U][/B] Be sure to tune into TNA Impact, as a stellar main event will be taking place, as in six man tag team action, Abyss, A.J. Styles, and Jeff Jarrett will be teaming to take on Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Rhino. We will also hear from the man that will accept Christopher Daniels challenge, and we will have word on what will happen with the Tag Team Titles at Slammiversary. [/QUOTE]

[chris caulfield]

A worker called the site and said he looked over president Dixie Carter's shoulder while she was getting off the phone with somebody about a contract. The name on the phone......[B]Chris Benoit[/B]. We cannot confirm that Chris Benoit is going to TNA, or we cannot confirm that he is staying with WWE. All that is known is that Dixie Carter has got in touch with him. More on this potentially huge news as it comes along. [/QUOTE]

[chris caulfield]

I just have to say if you get benoit i will always follow this diary as he is my favourite wrestler and he cold easily carry your promotion, but since you couldn't even sign val venis i not too sure about benoit i'll just have to wait and see.

Yep, This is a great diary so far. Thanks

[B][SIZE="3"][U]Robert Roode[/U][/SIZE][/B] [I]Sting, for being the great veteran that you are, you just fell for the oldest trick in the book last week. It’s a tale as old as time; manager distracts referee, wrestler tries to stop manager, attacker hits wrestler from behind. I still can’t believe you fell for something so simple. It is a sign of how things have been going for you lately Stinger, you’ve seen your better days, admit it. So this Sunday at Slammiversary, I’m going to force you out of the main event, and then Robert Roode can claim his spot up top once and for all.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]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] vs. [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/AustinStarr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/RoderickStrong.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="3"]Team 3D versus Starr and Strong w/ Kevin Nash[/SIZE][/B] This was a match between the NWA World Tag Team Champions and the fastest rising team in TNA today. Starr and Strong caught Team 3D off guard with their great speed and technical ability, but Team 3D used their teamwork and great strength to overpower Starr and Strong and gain the upper hand. They hit them with all their signature moves, and right as they were setting up for the 3D, James Storm and Chris Harris hit the ring and took out both teams, thus ending the match in a double DQ.

[B][U][SIZE="3"]Jim Cornette[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]I’m getting sick and tired of teams attacking other teams, and the general mayhem that has been going on in our tag team division. So this is how it is going to go down. This Sunday at Slammiversary, we are going to have ourselves a little four team tag team match for those NWA World Tag Team Championships. Team 3D will be defending against: Serotonin, Austin Starr and Roderick Strong, and America’s Most Wanted![/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] This was a rematch from a few weeks back between two of TNA’s most athletic wrestlers. Like when they wrestled a couple of weeks ago, it was at a frantic pace, with both men getting near falls early and often since they do not get paid by the hour. After many long two counts Christopher Daniels had enough and went straight for the head of Killings with an enzaguri. Daniels did not look back from here, and he hit Killings with almost every move in his arsenal. He eventually put the match away with a huge Angel’s Wings, and kept his stellar record since returning to TNA intact. [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Christopher Daniels Time: 8:47 Match Grade: B[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/KipJames.jpg[/IMG] Kip James comes out and stands on the stage, with apparently something to say to either Killings or Daniels. [B][U][SIZE="3"]Kip James[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]Well it seems that my bro BG’s contract has come up for renewal, and TNA Management can’t deal with some of the ghosts in his past, so it seems that I’m going to have to solo from now on. So this Sunday seems like as good of time as any to get back into the saddle, so I’m accepting your offer for a match at Slammiversary Daniels. So I’ll see you this Sunday.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/ChristianCage.jpg[/IMG] When Impact comes back from commercial Ron Killings is standing in his locker room, looking upset after losing to Christopher Daniels once again. He then gets an unexpected visitor into his locker room, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Christian Cage. [B][U][SIZE="3"]Christian Cage[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]Ron, what is happening with you pal? You are losing week after week, and frankly, it’s pretty sad to watch. You are a proud former champion, and now you have been reduced to losing week in and week out. Let me tell you the truth Ronald, I want a piece of your downward spiral. Before you hit rock bottom I want to help you on your way down. So at Slammiversary Sunday night, I’m challenging you to a match of former champions.[/I] [B][SIZE="3"]Grade: C+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Senshi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/JohnnyDevine.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="3"]Senshi versus Johnny Devine[/SIZE][/B] The Warrior of the X-Division has looked more focused lately, and he had Johnny Devine in this matchup. Senshi used his martial arts talent to his advantage as Devine had no way to keep Senshi’s feet from hitting their mark repeatedly. Senshi took Devine down with a big DDT, then went up top and hit the Warrior’s Way on Devine, and got another impressive victory. [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Senshi Time: 4:34 Match Grade: C[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SonjayDutt.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/RobertRoode.jpg[/IMG] [B][SIZE="3"]Sonjay Dutt versus Robert Roode w/ Ms. Brooks[/SIZE][/B] This match was not fair on any level. Robert Roode out powered Sonjay Dutt by a large margin, and when Dutt would try for some high flying moves, Roode would just cut them down with his power. For a brief instance Dutt started having things go his way, and he went for a big springboard back elbow on Roode, but Robert knocked him out of midair with a Northern Lariat, and got a win heading into his match with Sting at Slammiversary. [B][SIZE="3"]Winner: Robert Roode Time: 4:41 Match Grade: D+[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Sting.jpg[/IMG] After the match the lights go out in the Impact Zone. Then a single spotlight stops in the rafters, where Sting is standing, and he is pointing his signature baseball bat at Roode and Ms. Brooks, as they very nervously walk out of the ring and back towards the tunnel.

Styles, and Jeff Jarrett[/SIZE][/B] This great main event featured three sets of men who are facing off one on one at Slammiversary. They quickly found their ways to each other in this match, and the first two minutes were just these men matching off one on one and brawling in and out of the ring. Things finally settled down, and this turned into a very heated six man tag team match. The heels kept the Rhino isolated from his team for a little while, but Rhino eventually broke free and got Kurt Angle into the ring, and he went on a suplexing rampage on the other team. He was eventually stopped by a little distraction from James Mitchell, and then was leveled by a clothesline from Abyss. Abyss worked on Angle for a little while, until he found his way to Samoa Joe, who came in and cleaned house. Then all hell broke loose again, and in the confusion Samoa Joe locked Jeff Jarrett in the Koquina Clutch, and Jarrett quickly tapped out. [B][SIZE="3"]Winners: Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Rhino Time: 8:51 Match Grade: B-[/SIZE][/B] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/SamoaJoe.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/KurtAngle.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/SHaynes23TNA/Rhino.jpg[/IMG] After the match, the faces expelled the heels from the ring, and then they stood in the ring with their arms raised, triumphant just a few days before a huge TNA pay-per-view, Slammiversary.

They had a cautious hope because Benoit had gone nearly two weeks since it was announced that his contract was running out without resigning. But WWE ended all hopes of TNA when they inked the long term deal, so they must do without him. WWE also resigned Sylvan, although TNA had no intrest in signing him. [B][U]TNA Rating[/U][/B] TNA Impact set another new high for ratings, as it went up to 12.58 this week. SpikeTV continues to be very happy with TNA, and their fanbase continues to grow week by week.

[SHaynes23]

Well guys, it's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.....just kidding. A few realizations just hit me today, one being that I am playing this game with what is essentially a Beta version of FORC, and there are a few bugs that are still in the game, and that T-Zone is close to coming out, which will be the deepest mod ever. This is also factored in that I made an all-time bonehead move by forgetting to set my events to PPV after I switched providers. So this is the official plug pulling of this dynasty, but have no fear, I'm going to start a new dynasty as early as this weekend, and it's going to be a DOTT dynasty, which in my view is the most solid mod around. The only question is WWF or AWA? I'd appriciate if you guys could help me make the choice, and thanks a ton for reading this and giving it so much support. By the way, here is how the card for Slammiversary played out: NWA World Heavyweight Championship [B]Samoa Joe (c)[/B] vs. Abyss Samoa Joe retains after Jeff Jarrett comes out and blasts him with a guitar. Then after the match James Mitchell enters the ring and cools Abyss down, and then shakes hands with Jarrett. The following story was going to be that Mitchell sold Abyss' services to Jarrett to help him regain the title, and it was going to be Joe vs. Abyss and Jarrett in a handicap match with the winner getting the title. Joe was going to be ready to be beat, but Abyss would not allow Jarrett to pin him. This would lead to a long feud between a newly face Abyss and Jeff Jarrett. X-Division Championship Chris Sabin(c) vs. [B]Petey Williams[/B] Petey Williams re-gained the X-Divison crown here, but was just going to warm it for "Macho Man" Jay Lethal. NWA World Tag Team Championships [B]Team 3D [/B](c) vs. AMW vs. Serotonin vs. Starr and Strong This one is complicated. Team 3D wins, Serotonin are the ones pinned. This would lead to 3D vs. AMW vs. Starr and Strong for the titles next month, with Team 3D retaining and Starr and Strong losing. This would finally set up a match between 3D and AMW, in which AMW would take the titles. [B]Kurt Angle[/B] vs. AJ Styles Kurt Angle finally puts AJ Styles away and puts a rest to this great feud. Rhino vs. [B]Jeff Jarrett[/B] Jeff Jarrett wins with underhanded tactics, then moves onto bigger things by night's end. [B]Sting[/B] vs. Robert Roode Robert Roode was a potential future champion, but couldn't justify putting him over Sting just yet. Ron Killings vs. [B]Christian Cage[/B] Instant Classic takes this one, maybe a feud with Angle was to follow. Kip James vs. [B]Christopher Daniels[/B] Daniels rolls in this one easily, probably would fight one more jobber at a PPV, then would challenge Joe for the title after Abyss and Jarrett get out of the way.

[keefmoon]

Damn. That's a shame. Not a [I]real [/I]shame... :p Just kidding! However, I totally understand where you're coming from and can't wait to see what you offer next. Ultimately it's your decision, and a DOTT: WWF would be more popular I think (mainstream appeal an' all that) but AWA would be a nice change of direction from the usualy WWF DOTT diaries out there. But both would be top notch so I don't mind either way, to be honest. Well done on what you did with this diary. It was great, and things were moving along very nicely indeed, and you obviously had a huge fanbase after finishing second in the diary of the month, but I have no doubt you can continue that momentum and popularity into the next one you do.

[TragicHero]

I'd love for you to go WWF with the DOTT mod, as I ran a year's worth of material with my own WWF DOTT sim for fun and would love to see what you do with yours. We could compare notes in PM from time to time if ya'd like, even.
