-Solid opening segment, hopefully you get rid of Manu -Like the flashblack to the 1-2-3 Kid moment -Hardy & Bourne winning made sense, especially after MVP pinned Hardy on Smackdown last week -Doubt they would show a video of Adamle mistakes -Battle Royal was what you would expect it to be, interesting to have Beth win though -The Steph/Shane stuff was interesting, wonder what it will lead to. Also wonder who will be the new Raw GM -Henry/Hardy was decent, what I expected. Finlay's interference made sense -I see Stephanie will be the new GM -Kozlov squashing Oritz is good TV -I love you for putting Miz & Morrison over. Regardless of Kozlov's interference, just giving them the win was enough -Haasertaker is funny stuff, makes sense for the Show/'Taker feud. Liked the real Undertaker's appearance post match -The Rey/Kane feud going off into a Survivor Series match is a good idea -Interesting stuff between JBL & Batista -Very solid main event, glad you added Punk & Kofi to the match. Good that Jericho got the pin as well and the Triple Threat match at Survivor Series should be good
Very good Raw and very realsitic. I really want to know if anything is going to come out of the Stephnanie/Shane stuff.

I am not going to like this show based on the fact on the tri-branded matches. The opening segment was excellent and helped developed feuds which is something you always do well. I love the Raw Recaps. Jeff Hardy and Evan Bourne defeating Montel Vontavious Porter and Chavo Guerrero works for me; however, I hate how the first match of the evening did not even involve Raw. I have a feeling Chris Jericho will betray Batista as you seem to be hinting at that strongly. Beth Phoenix winning is smart as she is easily the top diva of the federation. I wonder what you are doing with Shane and Stephanie McMahon but I am really interested. Mike Adamle getting fired is sad as I thought you could do wonders with him. Mark Henry retaining the ECW Heavyweight Championship via disqualification works and allows the two men to continue feuding. I hope you put the ECW Championship on Finlay. Vladimir squash Ortiz was filler and pointless. I feel you could have done something more productive. I LOVE THAT JOHN MORRISON AND THE MIZ DEFEAT SHAWN MICHAELS AND TRIPLE H! Yes it wasn’t the cleanest victory in the world, but they still won and I love it! Show squashing Haas helps continue his feud with Taker and that works for me. I like Rey wanting another match with Kane. The main event was great and I Really thought Jericho would beat down Batista.

Alright, here we go. Good opening promo, really captured the feel of the individual characters. Good to see the classic highlights throughout the show, brings back alot of good memories. Stephanie and Shane back on Raw is awesome, `looking forward to see what you do with them. Good first match, i'd imagine it'd be quite entertaining. Good to see Bourne pick up the win, push him to the moon. The Batista interview seemed pretty bland. I doubt that WWE would air their own employees botches, but oh well. The battle royal was okay but i'd rather see one on one divas competition. Santino overselling getting his ass kicked by Mickie was classic. Hopefully you do something good with Santino. A Shane/Stephanie feud will definently shake things up but it's a shame to see Adamle go. I couldn't care less about the ECW match, as I really hated the ECW title picture at this time. The Vladimir Koslov was understandable. SmackDown vs RAW 2009 is gonna suck. What? Just saying. Good to see John Morrison and The Miz go over DX, they deserve mainstream pushes. The Haasataker segment was awesome and the appearance from the real 'Taker made it even better. Surprisingly, i'm really looking forward to this match. I don't like how the elimination match was made, and does Kane really have 'friends'? Should be good none-the-less. The main event was pretty average but had no real flaws. Orton really needs an exciting reign as champion, please just don't take the strap off of him. The Survivor Series card is looking great and i'll be reading. Keep it up!

ECW on Sci-Fi Tuesday 4th November 2008 Orlando, Florida - Amway Arena [/color] Aired on Sci-Fi Network[/size][/center] [22:00-22:01][/color] - We kick off the show as 'Don't Question My Heart' by Saliva is playing, pyrotechnics going off as the crowd pops. Todd Grisham and Matt Striker introduce us to the show and hype up the card for tonight, scheduled to feature Finlay taking on Mark Henry in our main event, but we're opening up with action from the ECW Champion, Matt Hardy! [22:01-22:13][/color] - Match #1: Matt Hardy defeated Chavo Guerrero with Bam Neely in a non-title match[/color] This was a pretty good contest here to start us off on tonight's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi, Chavo Guerrero, the former ECW Champion seriously out there to try and get a win over the current ECW Champion to prove a point and possibly earn another shot at the ECW Championship in the near future. Chavo buried Matt with shots in the early goings while Matt had bandaged ribs from last night's RAW encounter with Mark Henry. Chavo worked the ribs of Matt, soon applying an abdominal stretch in which Bam Neely kept distracting the official while Chavo added to Matt's pain, grabbing the top rope. The official eventually noticed this and kicked Chavo's hand off, leading to Hardy hiptossing Chavo over! Matt began to regain momentum slowly, clotheslining Chavo and hitting a nice dropkick, continuing his attack on Guerrero. Matt went for the Twist of Fate, but Chavo shoved him into Bam Neely, who was stood on the apron. Matt however, knocked Bam off! Chavo ran at Matt, but Matt big-back body dropped Chavo over! Chavo landed on his feet and taunted the crowd, then turning around to get nailed with the Twist of Fate leading to the three! **3/4[/color] [22:13-22:14][/color] - Matt Hardy begins to celebrate his victory, grabbing the ECW Championship as Matt grabs a microphone from Tony Chimel. Matt begins to talk breathlessly about how Mark Henry seems to like to bring other people into his business with him. Matt then asks Mark if he wants to form some sort of alliance with his amigos if he wants, and Matt will bring some of his friends and meet Mark's alliance in the ring on November 23rd at Survivor Series! The crowd pops as Hardy continues, calling out Shelton Benjamin for a match this Friday on SmackDown! Striker and Grisham assume that it'll be a Survivor Series elimination match on November 23rd. [22:14-22:15][/color] - A mysterious segment airs, showing some lethal kicks as a black person [not being racist] is shown kicking into white, the kicks leaving red marks. 'Coming Soon' appears in some form of Japanese font. [22:15-22:19][/color] - Commercial Break #1[/color] [22:19-22:20][/color] - A clock was shown, counting down the days until tickets for WrestleMania XXV go on sale, and they go on sale this Saturday. [22:20-22:23][/color] - We cut to the office of Theodore Long as he is seen chilling out with Tiffany before there is a knock on the door. The crowd boo as they see the man mountain called Mark Henry wander in, Tony Atlas telling Theodore Long that Matt Hardy cannot decide something for himself for Survivor Series. Long gets to his feet, telling Mark he's had a long past with Mark, and he agrees with them that Matt is not general manager of ECW. Atlas laughs and calls Long a good man for agreeing, only for Teddy to say it's a good idea and he is giving it thought. Long tells Mark that he's going to do something not done before, and that is by having a six-vs-six Survivor Series Elimination match on November 23rd. Mark tips over a lamp as Tony tells Theodore he'll regret this when Mark injures his ECW Champion at Survivor Series. [22:23-22:29][/color] - Match #2: Evan Bourne defeated Armando Estrada[/color] This wasn't too much of a match here as the hyperactive Evan Bourne took on the former general manager of the ECW brand, Armando Estrada. Armando tried to keep up with Bourne, but Evan was just too quick for the slower barely-a-wrestler Estrada. Bourne took Estrada down with a springboard dropkick before going up to the top rope and nailing the Shooting Star Press for the win. **1/4[/color] [22:29-22:30][/color] - Evan Bourne begins to celebrate his victory, however it is cut short when William Regal of all people jumped Bourne! Regal knocked Bourne out with a shot with some brass knuckles as Armando Estrada got up and shook Regal's hand, what the hell? [22:30-22:31][/color] - A shot of Jack Swagger walking down a hallway was shown with something in his hand with a black cloak covering it. Swagger appears to be heading for the ring as we cut away. [22:31-22:35][/color] - Commercial Break #2[/color] [22:35-22:35][/color] - A 'Did You Know?' graphic appeared, informign us that ECW on Sci-Fi last week gained more viewers than college football on ESPN2 by 150%. [22:35-22:42][/color] - The theme of Jack Swagger was playing as we returned to the arena, as the 'All American's American' was already stood in the ring wearing a gray sports jacket and suit pants, as Swagger began to talk about the career of Tommy Dreamer, since the beginning of his career, bringing up Dreamer's infamous feud with The Sandman, which featured Sandman caning the life out of Dreamer. Swagger tells us this was good, but about 75% of this audience probably did not know this because they are all unaware of Tommy's legacy. Fact is, ECW was nothing when that happened; all of the time Dreamer ran as the top dog in Extreme Championship Wrestling, its fanbase was futile and New Yorker based. Swagger also involves Beulah McGillicutty, Dreamer's wife who married the failure. Swagger lastly revealed what was beneath the black cloak, and that was a replica of the very ECW World Heavyweight Championship belt in which Dreamer held for a mere thirty minutes. That's when Tommy Dreamer rushed down the rampway, sporting a singapore cane as he tried to attack Swagger with it only for Jack to escape from the ring! Dreamer stood in the center of the ring in anger. [22:42-22:43][/color] - Footage from SmackDown vs RAW 2009 the video game is shown, featuring highlights of some random match between John Morrison and The Miz and DX, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Identical to what was shown last night on RAW. SmackDown vs RAW 2009 goes on sale this Sunday. [22:43-22:47][/color] - Commercial Break #3[/color] [22:47-22:56][/color] - Match #3: Mark Henry with Tony Atlas defeated Finlay with Hornswoggle in an Extreme Rules match[/i][/color] This was a pretty competitive match here between two solid performers of a heavyweight size, obviously Mark Henry is heavier than Finlay, but this Extreme Rules stipulation changed things around as the 'Fighting Irishman' seemed hell bent on just going after Mark Henry and getting retribution on the 'World's Strongest Man' after what he did to Hornswoggle last Tuesday night on ECW. Finlay used his shillaileigh, but Tony Atlas got his shoe [yes] involved and slammed the wingtip into Finlay's skull. Mark began to beat down at Finlay, using a trash can on his side as Finlay continued to try and be adventurous, keeping Mark on his toes, and to a more literal degree, on the canvas as Finlay tried doing some aerial moves aswell. Mark tried to fire back but Finlay had the use of weapons involved, Finlay eventually going up top to drop a double-axe handle on Mark, but Henry caught him and delivere the World's Strongest Slam onto a trash can for the win! **1/2[/color] [22:56-22:58][/color] - Mark Henry celebrated his victory over Finlay as Tony Atlas joins him in the ring in celebration. Hornswoggle then comes from behind, tossing the trash can into the face of Atlas! Atlas sells it like hell as Tony falls to the canvas, only for Mark Henry to big boot [sort of] Hornswoggle down to the canvas! The crowd boos as Matt Hardy runs down the rampway, delivering lefts and rights to Mark, then using the shillaileigh! Mark gets clotheslined over the otp rope but Shelton Benjamin runs down the rampway from behind, going to dive on the ECW Champion, but Finlay cuts him off! Finlay delivers the Celtic Cross to Benjamin as Shelton, Mark and Atlas all flee the ring, Matt and Finlay stood high in the ring! ECW on Sci-Fi goes off the air![/font]

THE WRESTLING NEWSLETTER [/size] by Daniel Tomlinson[/i] 05/11/2008[/size][/b][/center] LOW KI BACKSTAGE AT RAW; WORKED DARK MATCH AT ECW/SMACKDOWN TAPINGSFormer TNA X-Division Champion and ROH star, Low-Ki was seen backstage on Monday night at the RAW 800th Episode Spectacular. The next night, Low-Ki worked a dark match at the ECW/SmackDown taping in which he was defeated by WWE Tag Team Champion, Primo. It is at this time unknown if Low-Ki was offered to sign a contract or not. CHRISTIAN TO WWE?There is a possibility that TNA superstar, Christian will be making a jump from TNA to WWE after the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion's contract with TNA Wrestling ends at the end of the month. Christian hasn't re-signed yet, reportedly, so it could be a possibility that Christian could leave TNA or not. We'll have more on this. KEVIN THORN RETURNING?Kevin Thorn hasn't been seen on WWE television since earlier this year when it appeared as though his vampire gimmick was wearing thin. But with the ECW roster being as small as it is at the moment, it has been hinted that he will be moving back up to the ECW brand. In FCW, where Thorn has been in the past several months, there is an angle going on between Thorn and Sheamus in which the loser must leave FCW. It should be interesting to see who will be on the losing end of that program. NJPW TO WORK WITH TNA AGAIN?It has been rumored that officials from New Japan Pro Wrestling have been making negotiations with officials from TNA to possibly work together in some sort of working agreement. If this is confirmed and the two sides begin negotiating, odds are that some TNA stars will take on NJPW stars at the January 4th Show at the Tokyo Dome. MIKE ADAMLE DONE WITH WWEMike Adamle finished with WWE on the RAW 800th Episode Spectacular this Monday night when he quit. Adamle was infamous by messups and Adamle himself seemed to end up unsatisfied with the level of disrespect given from other employees. TNA NEW IMPACT ZONELast Thursday on TNA iMPACT we saw the debut of the new iMPACT Zone. The iMPACT Zone you saw last Thursday is officially going to stick for all TNA events and shows taking place at the soundstage in Universal Studios from now on. You can see images of the new iMPACT Zone Here. ROH: THE FRENCH CONNECTION PREVIEW!It is scheduled to look like a fantastic night in Markham, Ontario, Canada this Friday as Ring of Honor hits Canada with hard-hitting action from the Tri-State area. In the main event, there will be international warfare as Go Shiozaki from Japan will join up with ROH for one night to take part in a Four-Way Elimination match for Nigel McGuinness' ROH World Championship. Nigel has been a courageous champion, going through injuries and proving to be an iron man, but what happens when he takes on the challenge of not only Go Shiozaki, but also the former ROH World Tag Team Champions, El Generico and Kevin Steen? Also, we will see an epic tag team encounter as Bryan Danielson will team up with Austin Aries to do battle with the Age of the Fall, Tyler Black and Jimmy Jacobs! Jacobs and Black have had some issues as of late, and it should be interesting to see if Danielson and Aries can be worked over by Jacobs and Black as a team. In other action, we will see Jerry Lynn and Delirious do battle in what should be a furious match, plus, Necro Butcher and Brodie Lee will do battle! All this Friday at ROH's French Connection show and we will have results from the show next Wednesday! Copyright 2008[/font]

-Hardy/Chavo was the main event of the first ECW in my sim. Anyway, solid opener, wonder who you have lined up to feud with Hardy now -Ah, I should've figured Matt would head a team in the ECW Survivor Series match and Benjamin/Hardy on Smackdown should be good -A black person, yet there's Japanese writing? I'm interested -A six on six match sounds interesting -Bourne over Estrada was obvious, and I'm feeling the pairing of Estrada & Regal -Swagger's promo sounded tremendous, push him please -I also did this match in my sim, except Finlay won. Good that you had Henry win though, I like it. I can already tell that at Survivor Series it'll be Hardy & Finlay vs. Henry & Benjamin at least
Good show, looking forward to Survivor Series.
I can see Low Ki being the person who was in that Japanese promo. Christian coming back to WWE would be nice. I could see Thorn coming back as a good thing.

I would be lying if I said I found Matt Hardy an enjoyable ECW Heavyweight Champion. I do hope you manage to get the title off of him in the future and manage to keep it off the waists of Mark Henry, Kane Chavo Guerrero etc. Matt Hardy versus Chavo is a strong way to open the show, although I feel Chavo should be helping a younger talent get over. I like ECW getting a Survivor Series Elimination Match in there. Armando Estrada is such a great mouthpiece but I find him horrible in the ring. Why don’t you stick him with a big talent that can’t speak and have him bring them to the top? I like Evan Bourne slowly making it to the top. I love Jack Swagger making his feud with Tommy Dreamer personal by insulting ECW and its heritage. I really hope you push Finlay as a top contender for a world championship on Smackdown or Raw in the future. Mark Henry defeating him makes sense so I can deal with that.

TNA iMPACT! Thursday 6th November 2008 Orlando, Florida - Universal Studios [/color] Aired on Spike[/center] [21:00-21:03][/color] - The opening video package to TNA iMPACT aired, the new theme song playing, entitled 'Cross the Line' by AD/AM. From there we cut to the alive iMPACT Zone as Mike Tenay and Don West welcomed us to what seemed to be a new dawn in Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling! Pyrotechnics went off as Mike Tenay and Don West introduced us to TNA iMPACT and talked about us being only three days away from Turning Point, live on pay-per-view this Sunday! [21:03-21:15][/color] - The theme of the Main Event Mafia was heard throughout the arena as the crowd immediately began to boo in disapproval as the original four members of the Mafia began to walk down the rampway, led by the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Sting, followed by Sharmell, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash and TNA World Legends Champion, Booker T as Sting climbs into the ring, Nash cold-heartedly snatching the microphone out of ring announcer, David Penzer's hands. Kevin Nash told us that the Main Event Mafia are a force that is here to stay in TNA Wrestling. Nash told us that on Sunday night is Turning Point, there will be blood spilled and it sure as hell won't be his. Nash informed us that on Sunday, the Main Event Mafia will reing supreme, and Samoa Joe will end up with his face flat out on the canvas! The crowd boo at this as Booker T takes the microphone and begins to talk in his bizarre African accent, talking about how just a few weeks ago, he crowned himself TNA World Legends Champion because he has paid his dues, every single one of them in wrestling, and he feels he deserves something in return. Booker also told us that he was being disrespected by punks like AJ Styles, and Christian Cage as of late. Booker called Cage a hypocrite, disrespecting a fellow legend. Booker tells Christian he's been in big-time wrestling for what, thirteen years? Booker tells Christian that on Sunday, he will find himself in the Main Event Mafia against his own will, like it or not, when Booker beats the hell out of him at Turning Point! The crowd boo more as Kurt Angle takes the microphone, yelling for these idiotic fans to show them the respect they've earned entertaining them for the past decade or more! The crowd get rowdier as Angle talks about how he hasn't been given a match for Turning Point, whereas Nash, Sting and Booker, they all have. Angle calls TNA bullsh*t, that they don't want him to be running the house or showing everybody that MEM are owning TNA with their power! Angle tells TNA that in addition, Mick Foley has banned interference from any of their matches, so he's got nothing to do, Angle insults Foley, telling him he's only here as a pathetic opportunity-taker and he knows it himself, deep down! Angle also talks about how Jeff Jarrett and Foley screwed him out of victory at Bound For Glory IV, and he can't wait to get retribution - on either of them! The crowd begin to chant 'bunghole' as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion takes the microphone, telling us that in three days, he is scheduled to take on a little fly, literally. AJ Styles is nothing more than a piece of Georgia trash who can do backflips off of an elevated object. Sting refuses to call that competition. He tells us that he will dispose of the so-called 'Phenomenal One' this Sunday, never to jump again! Sting continues, as he reminds us that last week, a fifth member of the Main Event Mafia was introduced as Booker T and the annoying AJ Styles fought in the main event, and he planted AJ right on his head with a DDT. His name? Raven! With that, Raven's old theme played, as the fans in the iMPACT Zone were shocked to see Raven wander out, not wearing jean shorts and flannel shirt around his waist, but instead, Raven was wearing a suit, his dirty blonde hair tied back! Mike Tenay and Don West asked if Raven had gone insane as Raven got into the ring and shook hands with each member of MEM, then taking over the microphone. Raven asked the fans why they are booing him. For the past sixteen years, Raven has been put through tables, battered with singapore canes and had to remove thumbtacks from his back! But in all of this time, he has achieved so little. He tells us that he was at home in a depressed state as he seemingly always has been in the past, when he decided to switch on iMPACT and what he saw was something that changed his life all around! He returned to TNA because of MEM's methods of getting back at those who doubted and disrespected them. So he called Sting, he called Angle, he called Booker and he called Nash, and now, he's here! Raven told us that it was time to grow up from being the depressed emotionally unstable bitch he used to be, and now he has matured into being somebody professional! The crowd boo before the theme of the 'War Machine' played into the arena! The crowd popped as Rhino stormed out alone, standing on the rampway and asking Raven why he has became this idiot; Rhino tells Raven that he could have grown up any other way, and to be honest, Raven is the enemy now. He has sided with an immorale corporation of evil that Sting has composed of. Rhino tells Raven even when he was Goring Raven's ass through tables, he still had some respect. That respect is gone! He calls out Raven for Sunday at Turning Point, but Raven cuts him off, arguing that another evil corporation has killed what 'extreme' meant! [Reference to WWE's usage of 'ECW'] Raven tells Rhino that if he wants to fight him, then he has to be mature about it before hand! Raven tells Rhino that he will meet him on Sunday, but they aren't fighting; they will be taking part in a contract signing! And if Rhino can sign the contract and then go a full month without getting his hands on Raven, he can get him in a match at Final Resolution, contested under 'Clockwork Orange House of Fun' rules! The crowd boo as Rhino tells Raven that it's on! Rhino however, is lastly cut off by Kurt Angle, as Angle asks Rhino if he wants to vent his frustration into getting his ass-kicked by a true talent tonight, Rhino accepting! Angle tells Rhino he'll meet him in the ring later tonight! [21:15-21:16][/color] - We go to the backstage hallway as Jeremy Borash was standing by, informing us that he had seen Jeff Jarrett walking into his office earlier on today and he is determined to catch a word with TNA's Founder over the course of tonight's iMPACT broadcast. [21:16-21:20][/color] - Commercial Break #1[/color] [21:20-21:31][/color] - Match #1: Brother Ray and Brother Devon fought Robert Roode and James Storm with Jacqueline Moore to a double-disqualification in a non-title match[/color] This was a pretty competitive match here as Mike Tenay and Don West informed us before the match that at Turning Point it would be Team 3D, LAX & Abyss and Matt Morgan all fighting to become TNA World Tag Team Champions as they fight with Beer Money Inc in a Four-Team Elimination match! Devon and Roode started things off as Devon tried to get things going against Roode, only at one point, Devon went to run off of the ropes and James Storm put his knee up, striking Devon in the spine. From that point onwards, Beer Money Inc began to double-team Devon and isolated him away from Brother Ray! Ray managed to get a tag eventually, as he took down both members of the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Ray slamming Storm with a big powerbomb! Team 3D began to set up for the 3D on Robert Roode, but Jacqueline Moore pulled on Roode, dragging the groggy Roode out of the ring! Ray then turned around to be nailed with a steel chair from Storm! The crowd booed as Devon grabbed the chair out of Storm's two hands and slammed him with it! The official rang for the bell! **1/4[/color] [21:31-21:33][/color] - Brother Devon stood tall over James Storm, the steel-chair in hand before Robert Roode suddenly ran in from behind, taking Devon down with a shot from the TNA World Tag Team Championship belt! The crowd booed before Matt Morgan suddenly ran down the rampway and got into the ring, Abyss slowly following as Morgan nailed Roode with the Carbon Footprint! Abyss got into the ring as James Storm rolled out of the ring, cowering from Abyss and Morgan! The two giants stood tall in the ring, preparing for the four-team elimination match at Turning Point! [21:33-21:34][/color] - We return to the corridor outside of Jeff Jarrett's office as Jeremy Borash tried knocking on Jeff's door, only to get no reaction. Mick Foley, the TNA stockholder then appeared as he asked JB how he was doing. Borash asked Foley what he was doing here tonight, Foley telling his buddy that him and Jarrett have been business partners ever since Foley took a hold of the stock TNA had. Foley informed us that Jarrett is plotting something sinister that will wipe MEM away from TNA, but the fact is for Foley is that he respects both sides, no matter how much Kurt Angle likes the smack-talk. Foley proudly says that 99% of what comes out of Angle's mouthhole is full of sh*t. Foley tells JB he'll wait with him for Jarrett. [21:34-21:35][/color] - We go to Lauren as she is standing by with Roxxi and Taylor Wilde. Lauren asks Roxxi why they requested a tag team match against TNA Womens Knockout Champion, Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed tonight, but the two got cut off as Awesome Kong came charging on-screen, clotheslining Roxxi! Taylor Wilde jumped onto Kong, trying to choke her but Raisha Saeed slammed a singapore cane into Wilde's spine! Kong slammed Roxxi face-first into the iMPACT sign in the background before leaving with Saeed congratulating Kong. [21:35-21:39][/color] - Commercial Break #2[/color] [21:39-21:40][/color] - We returned to the backstage interview area as Lauren narrated the scene whilst some road agents [including BG James] and EMTs attended to Roxxi, Taylor Wilde seen in the background holding her spine after that singapore cane shot from Raisha Saeed as Roxxi was shown bleeding from the forehead. Lauren tells us that the tag team match could be off. [21:40-21:51][/color] - Match #3: Eric Young with Consequences Creed and Jay Lethal defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir with Volador Jr and Tanahashi in a non-title match[/i][/color] This was a solid contest here between two of the top competitors in the X-Division, but the prescence of Tanahashi and Volador Jr at ringside really could have effected Eric Young's chances of winning this match. Consequences Creed and Jay Lethal of Lethal Consequences accompanied Young to the ring because of this, and Young started off strongly against the TNA X-Division Champion. Bashir got in a move however, as Young tried a springboard crossbody, only to get speared down to the canvas by Sheik Abdul Bashir. Commercial Break #3 Young was worked over as Bashir tried targeting his ribs, succeeding as Bashir applied an abdominal stretch, just stretching away at Young and trying to increase the pain via digging his elbow into the ribs of Young! Eric managed to break out and then nailed the Youngblood Neckbreaker, but Volador Jr got on the apron! Tanahashi tried coming on from behind, but Jay Lethal took Tanahashi out with a springboard clothesline! Lethal and Tanahashi brawled to the floor as Creed and Volador began to trade blows at ringside, Bashir going for the Weapon of Mass Destruction only for Young to reverse it into a northern lights suplex! Young got back to his feet and Bashir ended up running into the Youngblood Neckbreaker again! Young covered for the win. **3/4[/color] [21:51-21:53][/color] - Eric Young began to celebrate his victory before getting attacked by Tanahashi again! The crowd booed as Young was laid out with a big kick to the face! Jay Lethal then charged into the ring, diving off of the top rope with a Randy Savage-like diving axe handle! Volador and Consequences Creed continued to brawl on the floor as all of a sudden, Sonjay Dutt came storming down the rampway! SoCal Val was with him as he climbed into the ring and delivered a Calcutta Cutter on Sheik Abdul Bashir! The crowd booed as he then followed up with going up to the top rope and nailing the 450 splash on Eric Young! The crowd were left confused and stunned as Dutt stormed off! [21:53-21:56][/color] - We go to the backstage area as Lauren was standing by with Christian Cage as Cage was asked on his thoughts just three days before he challenges Booker T for the TNA World Legends Championship. Cage tells Lauren that we all know that Booker T has not suffered as much as Sting and Kevin Nash in this business. Sting and Nash have been worked since the mid-to-late eighties and to be honest, Booker is probably the most obnoxious member of Main Event Mafia, and that is a very hard thing to say considering Angle, Sting and Nash are also obnoxious. He is asked on his thoughts about Raven, Christian saying he hasn't been in the ring with Raven, but he's beaten Sting, he's beaten Angle and he's beaten Booker before, and he is motivated to beat Booker to win the TNA World Legends Championship on Sunday, and when he gets that belt, he will burn it to the puny ashes it represents! And if by any chance Cage is pinned to the canvas for three seconds by Booker, he refuses to join such an evil faction, MEM. If he loses on Sunday, he leaves Total Nonstop Action Wrestling forever. [21:56-21:57][/color] - We go to the backstage area as Samoa Joe was shown and the 'Samoan Submission Machine' was heading for the ring! [21:57-22:01][/color] - Commercial Break #4[/color] [22:01-22:08][/color] - The theme of the 'Samoan Submission Machine' played throughout the arena as Samoa Joe began to walk out to the arena to cheers, wearing his towel around his neck and accompanied by the Motor City Machine Guns, as Joe walks down to the ring as Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin follow him like guards. The trio stood in the ring as the fans chanted Joe's name, Joe taking the microphone away from David Penzer. Joe tells the fans that the Main Event Mafia have left a stain in his persona and his personality has been changed in the past two weeks by Kevin Nash and the rest of the Main Event Mafia. Nash has backstabbed him after two years of a friendship, it seemed. He's achieved nothing from it. Joe calls Nash a sick bastard who only thinks about himself and money, and he's sick of veterans walking in and out and treating Joe like a little baby. Joe tells MEM that him, AJ, Sabin, Shelley and the rest of the locker room have formed an alliance, a firm alliance to try and keep the forces known as the Main Event Mafia out, and on Sunday, Kevin Nash will be happy to consider himself crippled after Joe is finished with him! The crowd pops before the sound of 'Big Sexy' played into the arena breaking the applause. Nash walks out to the rampway and asks Joe why he is so negative lately. Nash tells Joe that it is him who brought Nash forward to have to cost Joe the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Joe's self-destructive lack of anger management caused this. Joe is Joe's own enemy, and he created MEM with his bad attitude! Nash tells Joe that he can say what he wants, he can bring out his comrades or whatever, but the fact is, he can't trust anybody, not even the Motor City Machine Guns. Alex Shelley takes the microphone from Joe, Shelley telling Nash that he once respected him, and they once worked as a unit. But that has drifted away because Nash chose money over friendship. Nash fires back, telling Shelley he has real friends, in Kurt Angle, Sting, Booker T and the rest of the Mafia. Nash tells Joe that on Sunday, he will be out to take apart Joe and he is determined to get the job done. Nash leaves as the Machine Guns and Joe look confused in the ring. [22:08-22:09][/color] - We go to Lauren as she is standing by with the number one contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, the 'Phenomenal One' AJ Styles. Lauren asks AJ on what is going through his mind, three days prior to what could be one of his young career's best matches to date. AJ tells Lauren that he is mentally prepared to do whatever it takes to attempt to take a chink out of the metal armor of the Main Event Mafia, and if this means taking the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Sting, humiliating Sting or retiring Sting, it doesn't matter to him. He built TNA with his raw talent, not with popularity. He made his own popularity, and Sting did, but is just living in TNA like a lodger. AJ is prepared to take any chance to win the title on Sunday. [22:09-22:13][/color] - Commercial Break #5[/color] [22:13-22:18][/color] - Match #3: Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed defeated Taylor Wilde[/color] Taylor Wilde really stood no chance of winning this one. Raisha Saeed just simply stood on the apron and watched Wilde try to put up a fight against the TNA Womens Knockout Champion, but she was just too vulnerable after the attack from Kong earlier on tonight. Roxxi was taken out of the match after being busted open from Kong and Taylor had a weak back after a singapore cane shot from Saeed. Wilde kept trying some kicks and punches, but Kong was just too powerful, and soon after, Kong delivered the Awesome Bomb to pick up the win. **[/color] [22:18-22:19][/color] - Raisha Saeed joined Awesome Kong in the ring after the bell sounded, celebrating but the TNA Womens Knockout Champion had other things on her mind as Kong picked up the defenseless Taylor Wilde and gave her another Awesome Bomb! The fans in the iMPACT Zone booed loudly as Kong went to give her a third one, but Roxxi ran down the rampway with a bandaged forehead and a singapore cane in hand as she rushed into the ring, striking Saeed and slamming the cane into Kong's spine and torso repeatedly! Kong eventually retreated as Roxxi attended to the injured Taylor Wilde. [22:23-22:26][/color] - We go to the announce position as Mike Tenay and Don West begin to hype up Turning Point, this Sunday night on pay-per-view from the iMPACT Zone in Orlando, Florida! Set to feature on the card is the following: Sting vs AJ Styles for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship; Kevin Nash vs Samoa Joe; Christian Cage vs Booker T for the TNA World Legends Championship; Raven and Rhino sign a contract for a match at Final Resolution; Abyss and Matt Morgan vs Homicide and Hernandez vs Brother Ray and Brother Devon vs Robert Roode and James Storm in a Four-Team Elimination match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship; Sheik Abdul Bashir vs Eric Young vs Sonjay Dutt for the TNA X-Division Championship; Awesome Kong vs Taylor Wilde vs Roxxi for the TNA Womens Knockout Championship in a hardcore match. [22:26-22:28][/color] - We go back to the corridor outside of the office of Jeff Jarrett, the TNA Founder as Mick Foley and Jeremy Borash are now sat against opposite walls playing cards before Jeff Jarrett finally appears. Borash drops his card as Foley laughs about JB quitting because he's losing as Jarrett is approached with questions from JB and Mick Foley. Jarrett told JB and Foley that everything's okay and he has a statement in which he will unleash to the public this Sunday at Turning Point! [22:28-22:32][/color] - Commercial Break #7[/color] [22:32-22:33][/color] - We cut to Sonjay Dutt as he is trying to storm out of the arena, Jim Cornette stops him and asks what the hell that was about earlier tonight! Sonjay just says that he doesn't need to hide behind a faction like Main Event Mafia, nor does he have desire to follow the Originals that AJ Styles and Samoa Joe forced to motivate, all Sonjay needs is the love of his life, SoCal Val and the TNA X-Division Championship! Dutt storms away. [22:33-22:40][/color] - Match #4: Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave with Christy Hemme defeated Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed[/color] This was a pretty good contest here as the Rock 'n' Rave Infection seemingly have been on a roll as of late, as Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave worked successfully as a unit to keep on top of Lethal Consequences. Rock dominated the much-smaller Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed when in the ring with them, but when Jimmy Rave was in there, it was competitive. It was also announced that at the last minute, there was another match added to Turning Point featuring every single tag team TNA has to offer other than the four in the TNA World Tag Team Championships bout, and the last remaining team in there will be challenging for the belts at Final Resolution. Lethal could have had the match won with a Diving Elbow Drop, but Rock grabbed Lethal while on the top rope and chokeslammed him, then taking out Creed while exitting, Rave covering for the win! **1/2[/color] [22:40-22:42][/color] - Jimmy Rave and Lance Rock began to celebrate as Christy Hemme joined them at ringside, Consequences Creed rolling into the ring in disbelief! Creed attended to a downed Jay Lethal as the Rock 'n' Rave Infection taunted Lethal Consequences! [22:42-22:46][/color] - Commercial Break #8[/color] [22:46-22:55][/color] - Match #5: Kurt Angle defeated Rhino[/color][/i] This was a great main event albeit a slightly short match. The 'War Machine' managed to keep on top of the Olympic Gold Medallist in the first few minutes, clotheslining Angle and trying to keep Angle grounded, where Kurt wouldn't be able to do anything, but Angle managed to fire back and he did so with success, catching Rhino off-guard with the belly-to-belly overhead suplex. Angle worked away at the ankle of Rhino, both men trying to struggle for control over their opponent, but Rhino just wouldn't give up. Angle kept locking in submissions to pass the time and weaken up the 'War Machine' but Rhino kept firing back with lefts and rights and eventually, the ball was found to be back in his court! Rhino went for his piledriver move, but Angle broke out, backdropping Rhino overhead and then going to work on the ankle once again. Rhino however found the momentum from the audience to fire back and he did with a Gore! The Gore cut Angle almost in half as Rhino hooked the leg, but Angle got a foot on the bottom rope! Extremely close indeed, but Angle just kept getting back up and fighting back at the 'War Machine'. Rhino eventually nailed a powerbomb on Angle, and decided to follow up with the Gore again, but his ankle was just too worn down! Rhino fell down to the canvas, but Angle caught him in his hands! Angle picked Rhino to his feet and delivered the Angle Slam, covering for the win! ***[/color] [22:55-22:57][/color] - Kurt Angle celebrated, but not for long as he locked in the Ankle Lock on the 'War Machine' Rhino! The crowd booed, appauled by this as AJ Styles and Samoa Joe led the troops down the rampway to the ring! AJ, Joe, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Eric Young, Petey Williams, Curry Man and LAX storming the ring, but Kurt Angle had immediate back-up it seemed as the Main Event Mafia came out to the ring! Kevin Nash traded blows with Samoa Joe and the Motor City Machine Guns as AJ brawled with Sting! TNA iMPACT went off the air![/font]

The opening segment was smart: it explained Raven’s presence in the Main Event Mafia, it allowed him to develop his new character and create a match with Rhyno. I still do not like Raven in the MEM as I feel he doesn’t fit in. I love the Clockwork Orange House of Fun match but I feel you should have built up to that match and not just throw Raven and Rhyno into it. I wonder what version of A Clockwork Orange House of Fun you’ll use. I love how the Team 3-D versus Beer Money feud is shaping up and the double disqualification works well. I hate the Abyss and Matt Morgan team. Please turn Abyss heel and make him a monster again. I love Roxxi and Taylor Wilde getting attacked backstage as it intensifies their rivalry with Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed. Eric Young defeating Sheik Abdul Bashir is okay, but I hope Sheik comes out on the winning end of this rivalry. I hope Christian Cage wins this Sunday and stays with TNA. I love the segment involving Samoa Joe, Shelley and Sabin and Nash. I wonder what Nash is talking about. I hope AJ gets the strap as that would be amazing. Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed defeating Taylor Wilde and Roxxi was expected but good. I love the way Roxxi made a save post match. I love that you are pushing Rock 'n' Rave Infection and I hope they end up with the TNA tag champions soon. I hate Rhyno losing to Kurt Angle because it makes him look weak heading in to face off against Raven.

Interesting that you have Raven joining the MEN, and making a match between Rhyno. I loved Raven's & Rhyno's Hardcore Match in WWE. Double DQ between Beer Money & the Dudleys is interesting. The team of Abyss & Matt Morgan confuses me, because there nothing alike. Awesome Kong the fatty is a bully backstage. Christian winning and staying in TNA could be interesting, buts interesting what you would do with him in WWE. Glad EY beet Davari. I'm a big EY fan lol. I would like AJ Styles to win the TNA Belt. Fatty Kong bullied Taylor again but at least Roxxi made the save. I dislike the Rock & Rave Infection and I think they should lose to Creed & Lethal. Really didn't see Rhyno beating Kurt Angle but would have been great to see. I will give a Boogey bye bye to the Boogeyman.

-Not sure if Raven joining the MEM was a good move, but that was a really long promo to read -Solid opener, sets up some interesting tag team feuds, but I hope Abyss & Morgan stay as team because I don't see Morgan as a singles star -Surprised at the backstage assault from Kong -I was like the crowd because I was stunned and confused at the whole X Division stuff -I really liked the Cage promo, very realistic, sounds like him -The Joe/Guns/Nash stuff was good as well, made sense, unlike most TNA promos -Kong & Saeed winning the handicap match was the obvious call -Interesting stuff with Sonjay -Filler tag match, not a fan of either team to be honest -Angle over Rhino made sense, Rhino is pretty much a jobber now
Decent show, not your best. I felt like there should've been more emphasis on the Styles/Sting match at the PPV

WWE SmackDown! Friday 7th November 2008 Orlando, Florida - Amway Arena [/color] Aired on MyNetworkTV[/size][/center] [19:48-19:57][/color] - Dark Match: Primo defeated Low-Ki[/color][/i] This was a pretty good match here between independent talent, Low-Ki and WWE Tag Team Champion, Primo as it is still unknown whether or not Low-Ki has signed with WWE or not. Low-Ki looked impressive, but Primo finished him with a springboard into a tornado DDT for the win. [20:00-20:15][/color] - Match #1: Shelton Benjamin defeated Matt Hardy in a champion vs champion match[/i] This was a great way to kick off a SmackDown which had nothing and pretty much started as ECW Champion, Matt Hardy was heading down to the ring down the rampway. Shelton Benjamin was in over his head in this one as Hardy showed alot of flare and speed to keep Benjamin on his toes. Matt used his athletic technical moves to get Shelton down a few times, only for a near fall as the WWE United States Champion kept getting up, refusing to surrender to the ECW Champion. Benjamin continued to kick away at Hardy after the challenger went for a missile dropkick just to miss completely, Benjamin taking it upon himself to start working away at the abdominal part of Matt, his opponent. Hardy managed to respond as he began to fight back at Benjamin, going for his Twist of Fate but Benjamin got out of the way! Shelton shot into the ropes and went for the Paydirt only for Matt to throw Benjamin around in a Black Hole Slam like move. Benjamin landed on Matt's shoulder, slipped out and laid Hardy out with the Paydirt again for the win! ***[/color] [20:15-20:16][/color] - Shelton Benjamin began to celebrate, the WWE United States Championship in hand as he began to head back up the rampway, Matt Hardy recovering in the ring. All of a sudden, a gong hit the arena, causing the crowd to go insane as the lights went out! They returned as Benjamin was now looking at the ring, then being taken down by a clothesline from the side of the stage by Matt Hardy! Hardy pounded away at Benjamin before Mark Henry stormed out, standing in front of Shelton with Tony Atlas, the ECW Champion seemingly prepared for Mark! [20:16-20:20][/color] - Commercial Break #1[/color] [20:20-20:21][/color] - We cut to the backstage office of Vickie Guerrero as she is talking with Chavo Guerrero whilst Bam Neely was standing by in the background, Vickie asking Chavo shockingly if she heard the gong that hit Shelton Benjamin with bad luck moments ago. Chavo says he did before there was a knock on the door. Shane McMahon wandered in as Vickie looked intimidated, thinking it was The Undertaker as Bam Neely went to attack Shane. Shane walked over to Vickie, greeting Chavo before him and Neely dissappeared. Shane asked Vickie if she was a gambling woman because lately, her actions on SmackDown, especially last week in handing a WWE superstar the power of the brand was unprofessional on her part. Vickie tells Shane that she can care less about what he thinks, as she gave Big Show powers as general manager to avoid harrassment from the Undertaker. Shane ignores this, telling Vickie she needs to take her job title seriously. Vickie slaps Shane across the face as Shane grins, then telling Vickie it's okay because at Survivor Series, on November 23rd, it will be The Undertaker against Big Show...AND Vickie Guerrero, in a Buried Alive match! The crowd pop as Vickie falls to her knees, Shane walking away! [20:21-20:23][/color] - We cut to the ring as the Great Khali was being led out there by Ranjin Singh as Ranjin announces tonight that Khali would be wrestling, and that Khali was motivated for whomever his opponent were to be. The theme of The Brian Kendrick then played into the arena as the crowd booed, Kendrick dancing out wearing his jacket and accompanied by Ezekiel Jackson, dressed in red trunks. Kendrick has a microphone in hand already as Kendrick told Khali that his big Punjabian butt will be kicked by Big Zeke here tonight, and if Ranjin wants, he can have some of The Kendrick upside his face and knock his sideburns off! Khali got prepared as Jackson headed down the aisleway. [20:23-20:29][/color] - Match #2: Ezekiel Jackson with The Brian Kendrick defeated The Great Khali with Ranjin Singh by count-out[/i][/color] This was not a good match by any means. But this was predictable just looking at the match. Ezekiel Jackson is in no way a veteran, he is green as anything but could be a great powerhouse with some experience and more talent. Great Khali is seemingly on his way out of the wrestling ring, too. The two traded blows as Zeke seemed powerful in comparison to Khali, getting Khali back in the corner and clubbing away at him. Khali eventually locked the Vice Grip on Zeke, as The Brian Kendrick jumped onto the apron whilst Zeke wore down, Khali seeing him and grabbing him by the throat. Khali choked Kendrick on the apron as Zeke recovered from the previous Vice Grip, using an enormous amount of power to tip Khali over the top rope! Khali got back up on the outside as Kendrick the annoying sidekick of Jackson kicked Khali, and this just ticked Khali off. The Great Khali chased The Brian Kendrick up the rampway as the official counted him out! *1/2[/color] [20:29-20:30][/color] - As The Great Khali chased The Brian Kendrick through to the backstage area around the rampway area, we returned to the ring as Ezekiel Jackson was shown flexing his muscles whilst Ranjin Singh appeared from behind, clutching a steel chair as the fans were cheering him on, to nail Jackson with the chair. He did, but it had no effect on Zeke, as Big Zeke grabbed Ranjin by the hair [or sideburns] and delivered a furious Uranage to poor Ranjin Singh! Zeke left to loud boos. [20:30-20:31][/color] - We go to the Bella Twins, as up next is some Divas action! [20:31-20:35][/color] - Commercial Break #2[/color] [20:35-20:43][/color] - Match #3: Natalya and Victoria defeated Brie Bella and Nikki Bella[/color][/i] This was a fairly entertaining match from a television standpoint, but fans in the live arena watching this match were getting up to go to the restrooms or the concession stand during the match. Victoria and Brie Bella started off and Brie is improving in the ring though Victoria carried Brie, mainly because Brie was inexperienced. Brie used a unique armdrag, which is a very basic yet efficient move to make here. Victoria and Natalya worked over Brie before Nikki ended up with the tag as Nikki took both Natalya and Victoria down. Eventually though, Natalya caught Nikki with a hard spinebuster, as Nikki rolled out of the ring, and going under the ring apron. Brie was mysteriously absent from the ringside area, here but Maryse wandered down the aisleway, as Victoria distracted the official. A Bella Twin got out from underneath and Maryse nailed her with a right hand, rolling her into the ring and then going under the ring apron, where she tossed out the other Bella Twin from beneath! Natalya applied the Sharpshooter on the groggy Bella Twin for the win. *3/4[/color] [20:43-20:44][/color] - A graphic appeared, hyping up our main event for tonight's edition of SmackDown as WWE Champion, Triple H will face off with his big Russian rival, Vladimir Koslov for the title! [20:44-20:45][/color] - We go to a backstage hallway as Montel Vontavious Porter was shown walking down a corridor, MVP cut off as he sees a bizarre specimen, as new SmackDown superstar, Kizarny is juggling daggers. This is shown in shadows as MVP gasps that is was incredible under his breath before running away as Kizarny is heard yelling, 'That's another one for gizood ol' Grizandpa!' [20:45-20:49][/color] - Commercial Break #3[/color] [20:49-20:58][/color] - Match #4: Jeff Hardy defeated Montel Vontavious Porter[/color][/i] A competitive way to close down the first hour of SmackDown as here we saw two of SmackDown's top stars competing in what was a great match, and we should be seeing both of these men win the big one, the WWE Championship in 2009. MVP had alot of offense in the opening moments as Jeff Hardy kept firing back at Porter, only for MVP to keep sneaking in offense on the 'Charismatic Enigma' whenever he could, choking Jeff in the ropes and working away at the ribs of Jeff, and he's suffered many of broken ribs over the years of his thirty-year life. Jeff suffered alot of pain as MVP shoved Jeff rib-first into the ring post, really was a dramatic move, too. The fans wanted Jeff to win this, they were behind him 99.9% as MVP got booed out of the building. Another reason why Montel should be WWE Champion within the next 365 days. Jeff managed to fire back however as Jeff grabbed MVP's foot as he was going for the Drive-By Kick, hitting his legdrop to the inner thighs as Jeff began to go airborne again [sorry Evan], hitting Whisper in the Wind. Jeff went to dive off the top again with a double axe handle but Porter kicked him in the gut and went for the Playmaker, Jeff reversing and nailing the Twist of Fate in fast motion. Jeff removed his shirt, went up top and nailed the Swanton Bomb for the win! ***1/4[/color] [20:58-21:00][/color] - Jeff Hardy celebrated his victory over Montel Vontavious Porter as the crowd cheered him on. All of a sudden, MVP came from behind, planting the Drive-By Kick on Jeff! The crowd booed as Porter looked pissed off, before WWE Champion, Triple H walked out from the back! He got in MVP's face, neither man making physical contact as MVP sort of backed off. Triple H went to attending to a broken Hardy on the canvas as MVP then turned back from leaving, planting Triple H with the Drive-By Kick! The crowd booed as MVP left grinning. Triple H and Jeff Hardy, two rivals that respect one-another laid out by Porter! [21:00-21:01][/color] - We cut to the backstage area as Vladimir Koslov was seen, watching on a television monitor, then turning away, tossing over a crate in anger that his opponent for tonight, Triple H had gotten hurt. [21:01-21:05][/color] - Commercial Break #4[/color] [21:05-21:07][/color] - We go to Jim Ross and Tazz as they put over the fact that next week's edition of SmackDown would be held in the United Kingdom, at the O2 Arena, London. They hyped the main event as being whomever the WWE Champion may be doing battle with Jeff Hardy. They then aired a video package hyping up Triple H vs Vladimir Koslov for the WWE Championship, later on tonight. [21:07-21:09][/color] - From there, we go to the locker room as Triple H was seen sprawled out over a chair in ring attire, as he has a phone in his hand, asking the recipient if he could do him a favor that would benefit both of them greatly; to join him at Survivor Series in a four-on-four elimination match to take down Vladimir Koslov, John Morrison and The Miz all in one stride! The crowd pop as Triple H says 'Thanks, Shawn'. Triple H puts the phone down as it looks like DX will be in Boston on November 23rd! [21:09-21:12][/color] - We return to the backstage hallways as Kizarny is shown balancing a dagger on the bridge of his nose before he grabs the dagger as screaming is heard. The Brian Kendrick is shown rushing down a corridor as The Great Khali storm-walks past Kizarny in persuit! Tazz and JR tell us that Kizarny debuts next! [21:12-21:13][/color] - A 'Don't Try This At Home' segment appears. [21:13-21:21][/color] - Match #5: Kizarny defeated Kenny Dykstra[/color][/i] This was an unfortunate match for Kenny Dykstra as Dykstra seemed quite confident as he walked down the rampway calmly and prepared to battle Kizarny. Kizarny entered as Jesse and Festus walked him out, Kizarny beng guarded by the two. They dissappeared Kizarny reached the ring, juggling glass bottles as the bell sounded. Kizarny got in a few shots and didn't seem like a bad wrestler, taking Dykstra down and intimidating him as Kenny backed off to the ringside area. Dykstra got in a second wind as Kizarny posed for the crowd, Kenny hitting a high-angle dropkick in which was impressive to say the least. Dykstra locked in a boston crab on Kizarny but the circus freak broke out of it, tossing Dykstra away before catching a running Dykstra off-guard, nailing a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for the win! **1/4[/color] [21:21-21:22][/color] - The unique Kizarny celebrated his victory as he took his three glass bottles and resumed juggling them in the air, before Kenny Dykstra recovered and tried running at Kizarny, Kizarny throwing down two of the bottles, cracking the other over Dykstra's head! Kizarny celebrated, leaving. [21:22-21:26][/color] - Commercial Break #6[/color] [21:26-21:29][/color] - We go to Eve as she is standing by with Tony Atlas, accompanied by Mark Henry. Atlas speaks before Eve gets an opportunity to, Atlas speaks about how a dream team for the Survivor Series is being formed by himself and Mark Henry, as they have taken the opportunity to add Montel Vontavious Porter and WWE United States Champion, Shelton Benjamin to their team. Mark says that at Survivor Series, he will just decimate Matt Hardy until he is beyond repair. During this segment Hurricane Helms appeared in the bottom corner in graphic, signalling a yapping signal with his hand whilst Atlas talked. [21:29-21:30][/color] - A vignette aired, hyping up Triple H defending the WWE Championship against Vladimir Koslov one last time. [21:30-21:51][/color] - Match #6: Triple H defeated Vladimir Koslov to retain the WWE Championship by disqualification[/color] A fairly decent main event, superior to Vladimir Koslov's matches from the past; all of them. Triple H carried Koslov through this, starting off with some shots only for Koslov to kick Triple H in the gut as the Russian gladiator headbutted the WWE Champion in the chest, then proceeding to pound away at Triple H with lefts and rights, he is a pretty stiff performer really. Hunter did manage to keep on Koslov at times though, too, as he repeatedly fired back, though he was too weak from the attack from Montel Vontavious Porter earlier on tonight. Triple H went for a clothesline but Koslov tipped him over the top rope, and Vladimir Koslov seemed to capitalize on wearing away at the 'Cerebral Assassin'. Koslov would powerbomb Triple H onto the SmackDown announce table, then drag Triple H into the ring for only a near fall. Koslov ended up going for his swinging rock bottom, but Triple H kicked Koslov in the gut and nailed the Pedigree! Triple H went to cover but Koslov raised his fist into Triple H's face! Koslov headbutted Triple H through the ropes, sending Hunter to the floor, Koslov following and grabbing a steel chair in the midst of his anger, tossing it into Triple H's skull! **3/4[/color] [21:51-21:53][/color] - Vladimir Koslov stood over Triple H's body at ringside as the crowd booed, however this would be broken as Jeff Hardy rushed down the rampway, attacking Koslov from behind! Jeff, whom Triple H faces next week on SmackDown for the WWE Championship, begins to fire shots in Koslov's direction as Triple H goes to clothesline Koslov from behind, only for Koslov to dodge it and Triple H clotheslines Jeff! Triple H gets headbutted in the heart by Koslov as Koslov stands tall! SmackDown goes off the air! [21:53-22:03] - Dark Match: Jeff Hardy defeated Vladimir Koslov After SmackDown went off the air, Shane McMahon came out and made Koslov fight Jeff right here and now, as Koslov decimated Jeff for a portion of the match from the starting bell. Koslov and Jeff traded offense, but a run-in from Triple H caused Koslov to lose control, suffering a Pedigree [the referee got bumped], and then Jeff nailed the Swanton Bomb for the win. Jeff and Triple H stared each other down.[/font]

Surprised that a champion vs. champion match is opening up the show, seems like it should be higher up the card. Not a huge fan of the US Champion beating the ECW Champion clean, but I guess there will be a reason for it in the long run. Interesting finish to the match. Undertaker vs. Big Show and Vickie in a buried alive match is interesting, can't say I like the prospect of it but I think you'll do great with the build up - so I look forward to seeing how it goes.
Kendrick telling Ranjin he'll knock his sideburns off, LOL. Loved the finish to the match, makes sense. I like Natalya and Victoria beating Brie and Nikki Bella, I would have hated for the Bella Twins to win. Kozlov vs. Triple H for the title should be good. I loved the Kizarny segment, I hope he gets an almighty push. Him beating Kenny Dykstra is good, poor Dykstra. I liked the finish to the match with Jeff running out and Kozlov proving to be the dominant force, I hope you don't bring a complete halt to his push like they did in reality; I loved him around this time.
Looking forward to the next show.

TNA Turning Point 2008 Sunday 9th November 2008 Orlando, Florida - iMPACT! Zone[/color] Live on Pay-Per-View[/center] [20:00-20:03][/color] - The opening 'Cross The Line' segment aired, signalling the start of this TNA pay-per-view presentation. A video package follows up, hyping up our backstory to some of the matches on tonight's card for Turning Point 2008, spanning from the Main Event Mafia's beginning, to betrayal of a friendship. The video package mainly touches on AJ Style's passion for the business and how much he wants Sting's TNA World Heavyweight Championship. [20:03-20:04][/color] - A graphic appears, introducing us to TNA Turning Point 2008 as Mike Tenay and Don West greet us to pay-per-view, running down the card, set to feature all five TNA championships on the line, also, a street fight and also, to start us off tonight, a tag team battle royal! [20:04-20:27][/color] - Match #1: Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin won a tag team Quest For Glory match, defeating Tanahashi and Volador Jr, Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed, Shark Boy and Curry Man & Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave[/color][/i] This was a decent way to open up this pay-per-view event as the rules were that this bout would start off as a five-way tag team match, then when one member of a team was eliminated, that team would be gone from the match, and that continued until only one team remained. The fans in the iMPACT Zone were completely behind true TNA Originals, the Motor City Machine Guns in this one, Lethal Consequences being runners up. Tanahashi and Volador Jr took the cheap route, coming out with Japanese flags, instantly getting them heat from the Orlando crowd. Curry Man and Shark Boy were the funny guys in this one, but that factor didn't get them far at all, as Lance Rock ended up big booting Shark Boy out of the ring, then Rock lifted Jimmy Rave on his shoulders just for Rave to elbow drop onto Curry Man, eliminating Curry Man and Shark Boy] at the seven minute mark. Tanahashi got in some stiff kicks against Jay Lethal though, really lethal ones [no pun intended] as Lethal Consequences and Tanahashi with Volador Jr have had some history, joining up with the other match going on tonight for the TNA X-Division Championship between Eric Young and Sheik Abdul Bashir. Chris Sabin would put Volador to rest however, with the Cradle Shock eliminating Tanahashi and Volador Jr at the fourteen minute mark. Jimmy Rave and Lance Rock fought as good as they possibly could, but with a strange absence in their team [Christy Hemme wasn't around], they couldn't get too focused. Consequences Creed eventually nailed Rock with a DDT before 'Black Machismo' went up top and landing the Savage Elbow to eliminate The Rock 'n' Rave Infection at the nineteen minute mark. Lethal Consequences and the Motor City Machine Guns put on a grand showcase as the match began to near the end, the crowd being split between both teams. Eventually, Consequences Creed nailed the Creed-DT on Sabin but Alex Shelley would come out of nowhere with an Over-Castle neckbreaker from the top! Jay Lethal springboard dropkicked Shelley to the canvas, however, but then Chris Sabin, the legal man caught Lethal off-guard and slammed him with the Cradle Shock for the win! ***1/2[/color] [20:27-20:29][/color] - Chris Sabin dives to his feet in joy as he joins partner, Alex Shelley in celebration after a hard-fought victory, and the Motor City Machine Guns are officially going to meet the TNA World Tag Team Champions whoever they are at Final Resolution next month! Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed return to their feet as Lethal Consequences accept Shelley and Sabin's handshakes, leaving to let Sabin and Shelley celebrate. [20:29-20:30][/color] - We cut to the backstage hallway as Jeremy Borash was standing by with the stockholder of TNA, Mick Foley. JB asks Foley what he thinks Jeff Jarrett has in mind for tonight's announcement he's called for. Foley tells Borash that in the last two months, him and Borash have formed a bond, a father-son bond. JB tells Foley that he loves his daddy, Foley humorously saying he's taking it too serious now. Foley tells JB that he just can't tell people anything, so he's sorry but like everybody else, JB will just have to wait. [20:30-20:31][/color] - We cut to Raven as he is standing in the back with Lauren, Lauren asking Raven about his spontaneously unexpected change of personality. Raven, wearing a suit and with professional tied back dirty-blonde hair answers by saying that the Main Event Mafia's handling of obnoxious and smug newcomers have really made him get his head together. He now understands what the Mafia has gone through in the past, and he will do anything in his power to keep his head together, but his past, Rhino of the old bingo halls is trying to bring him down again. Raven vows to never become like Rhino again and that he will not change back to what he was, not even if Rhino does go a month without attacking him physically. [20:31-20:42][/color] - Match #2: Awesome Kong with Raisha Saeed defeated Roxxi and Taylor Wilde in a triangle hardcore match to retain the TNA Womens Knockout Championship[/i][/color] This was a great follow-up here from that Quest For Glory opening hotspot showcase, but it wasn't that good of a match. Awesome Kong seemed to have things under control, wandering down the rampway with Raisha Saeed, both of them carrying weapons like singapore canes and stop signs et cetera. Roxxi brought out a mop and bucket as that would come into play in the opening minutes, Roxxi and Taylor Wilde getting Kong down to the canvas and then tipping the dirty water in the bucket all over Kong. Roxxi would then mop it into Kong's face, the dominant champion down at ringside catching a breather. This allowed Roxxi and Taylor Wilde to have a conflict, those two ending up trading blows to the crowd's uproar. Roxxi almost had a win with a sweet reversal from a lariat into an inverted Orton-style neckbreaker, but Taylor kicked out. As Roxxi went to continue with offense over Wilde, Taylor would slam the stop sign into the face of Roxxi, catching her off-guard. Awesome Kong soon returned to the ring as she sculptured a singapore cane into the cranium of Roxxi, then big splashing Taylor Wilde for a near fall. The three would exchange offense as two women fought, the other taking a breather before it all came down to the finish of the match as Raisha Saeed and Roxxi traded blows, Awesome Kong catching a diving attack by Taylor Wilde, literally in the palm of his hands, as she slammed Wilde with the Awesome Bomb. Roxxi however slammed the stop sign over Kong's head and covered Wilde but Kong fell on both women! The match continued as Raisha Saeed tried to toss Wilde out of the ring but Wilde tossed Saeed out instead! Kong went after Wilde but Roxxi slammed the chair over Kong's spine, Wilde picking up the singapore cane and slamming it into Kong's head! Roxxi then went to nail Kong in the head but Kong ducked and it nailed Wilde instead! Kong delivered the Awesome Bomb to Roxxi for the win! **1/2[/color] [20:42-20:44][/color] - Awesome Kong celebrated her victory as Raisha Saeed, clutching her shoulder handed Kong her TNA Womens Knockout Championship, as Kong held it high above her head, though not with ease as a cut was forming from about the start of her hairline. Roxxi lay unconscious in the ring as Taylor Wilde got up, then stomped on Roxxi! The crowd booed as she seemed annoyed about Roxxi slamming the chair over her head in the closing minutes of that encounter. [20:44-20:46][/color] - We go to the backstage parking lot as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Sting and Main Event Mafia members, Kevin Nash and Booker T [with Sharmell] met Kurt Angle in the parking lot as Angle was still wearing a suit. Booker, Nash and Sting were all in ring attire, ready for their respective matches whilst Sting wore his black jacket, Booker and Sting holding their belts on their shoulders. Sting asked Angle if the plan was about ready, Angle responding by stating he was ready to go through with it, even if it meant sacrificing something important. We are left in confusion. [20:46-20:48][/color] - A video package aired as it reviews the appearances up to this point of Sheik Abdul Bashir, which climaxed when he won the TNA X-Division Championship. But since then, him and his comrades, Volador Jr and Tanahashi have been both ensumed with a feud with Lethal Consequences and Eric Young, and Young has beaten Sheik Abdul Bashir on two occasions in the past two weeks. [20:48-21:02][/color] - Match #3: Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Eric Young to retain the TNA X-Division Championship[/color] This was a fantastic match here as Sheik Abdul Bashir seemed confident, his headdress on and with the TNA X-Division Championship around his waist. Eric Young came down the rampway with a vengeance as he seemed focused only on winning the title for the United States of America from the evil foreigner, Sheik Abdul Bashir. Bashir slapped Young as the two stared each other down, Young kicking Bashir in the gut in response, then starting to fire back with a continuous array of attacks, using basic moves spanning from punches and snap jabs to arm drags and Young scared Abdul outside of the ring at one point with a german suplex aswell. Young would dive out of the ring and continue his offense over the TNA X-Division Champion, the fans cheering the TNA Original on. Young led Bashir back into the ring where he went for the Youngblood Neckbreaker, that move he has beaten Bashir with in the past two consequetive weeks only for Bashir to poke Eric in the eye! Bashir would powerbomb Young into the corner and the evil foreigner began his attack on the challenger, pounding away at the temple of Eric as he eventually made Young bleed! Eric's cut was worked away at as the Sheik eventually prepared to lock the challenger in the legendary move that made Bob Backlund lose the WWWF Championship to in 1983, the camel clutch! Eric stuggled before managing to break out soon enough, firing back and almost getting the win with a diving crossbody, but Bashir kicked out, then going for the Weapons of Mass Destruction, however Young just managed to get a foot on the ropes! Bashir helped Young to his feet before attempting a second WMD only for Young to nail the Youngblood Neckbreaker unexpectedly! Tanahashi and Volador Jr ran down the rampway, however as Volador distracted the official, Tanahashi coming in from behind and nailing a super kick on Young! Young turned around to get another WMD from Bashir for the loss! **3/4[/color] [21:02-21:04][/color] - Sheik Abdul Bashir rolled out of the ring just in time as Lethal Consequences came rushing down the rampway to Eric Young's rescue! Abdul Bashir was helped onto the shoulders of hencheman, Tanahashi and Volador Jr, Bashir holding the TNA X-Division Championship belt high! [21:04-21:05][/color] - A graphic appeared, hyping up TNA's next pay-per-view event, Final Resolution, which will be live on pay-per-view on Sunday 7th December 2008! [21:05-21:06][/color] - We go to Christian Cage in the backstage area with Lauren as Lauren asks Cage on his current opinion just about to go into this big-time match that could kill or create a new part of his career against Booker T for the TNA World Legends Championship. Christian says that it's been a pleasure in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, he's done everything there is, but he is prepared to take risks, but he just isn't going to go away from TNA from this defeat and let Main Event Mafia destroy what he made. If Booker takes him down, he's taking Booker with him! [21:06-21:27][/color] - Match #4: Christian Cage defeated Booker T with Sharmell by count-out; Booker T retains the TNA World Legends Championship[/i][/color] A damn good match here, even if it could have been Christian Cage's last pay-per-view match with TNA Wrestling. Christian Cage and Booker T could have possibly stolen the show with their stuff on display right here as Booker T was in for it in the early moments of the match, Cage heading right for the ring and taking the TNA World Legends Champion down with a spear. Cage would then pound away at Booker with aggravated, adrenaline-pumped lefts and rights, Booker trying to fight Cage away, eventually doing so as Booker nailed Cage with a spinebuster, going for the win but only getting a near fall. Booker kept on top of Christian, but the action was still fast-paced in some manner, Christian kept struggling out of Booker's moves only for the Main Event Mafia member to repeatedly take the challenger down with another shot. Cage kept trying, however, but with Booker's experience combined with his expert-like moveset of destructive moves designed to wear opponents down to dust, it seemed pretty difficult for Christian to succeed. Sharmell stayed out of the way in this match, too, as Christian kept trying to fight Booker, which sort of intimidated Sharmell, Booker then getting back in control of things, nailing Cage with an axe kick, but nothing could get Christian Cage down, either. Booker would continue his attempt at putting Cage down for the three and possibly for his career, but the passionate challenger continuously refused to let his opponent pin his shoulders to the mat for three seconds. Booker would continue this, but Cage ended up refinding his feet, delivering a reverse DDT for a long two count. A really long one, but Booker would continue to fight, or attempt to fight Cage's offense, only for the 'Instant Classic' to follow up with an even stronger succession from the afore move. Christian eventually spinebustered Booker and applied a sharpshooter, attempting to make the TNA World Legends Champion tap, the fans in the iMPACT Zone motioning, everybody in Orlando Soundstage 21 hoping that Booker would tap on the canvas, but he broke out of it! Cage fell out of the ring as Sharmell was nearby, going to hit Cage, but Christian saw her coming and he began stalking her a bit up the rampway! Booker would cross paths with Cage, catching him off guard with a clothesline to the side of the head, the two brawling near the announce position of Mike Tenay and Don West, as the official began to count. Booker tried the Scissors Kick but Christian moved, going for the Unprettier, but Booker delivered an axe kick, rocking Cage! Christian nailed a desperation reverse DDT, laying Booker on the floor, then diving back under the ropes at the count of nine! ***3/4[/color] [21:27-21:29][/color] - Christian Cage celebrates his victory as Booker T lay motionless on the floor outside of the ring, the fans in the iMPACT Zone going insane for the 'Instant Classic' staying in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling! Sharmell attends to Booker, passing him his TNA World Legends Championship, but the main thing is that Christian Cage is remaining in TNA Wrestling! [21:29-21:30][/color] - We cut to Jeremy Borash as he is standing by with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Sting as he asks 'The Icon' how he is feeling before the big title match against the 'Phenomenal One' AJ Styles. Sting asks Borash what sort of stupid ass question is that. Sting tells JB that he's been in the industry wrestling since 1987, that's twenty-one years of enduring pain, he respected legends. Everybody respected each other back in the days of him being a green newcomer to wrestling. He became World Champion, he went around the world, wrestling Japanese superstars, he's been here, done that and through these years, he came to TNA thinking it was a great opportunity to see what some newcomers can do. He's known AJ Styles since 2003, and he's watched him grow. But while he's helped AJ to where he is today, AJ has had a drastic change of character, he isn't the open-minded listener he was five years ago, he has become an obnoxious little punk, and tonight, Sting will dispose of him! [21:30-21:43][/color] - We cut to the ring as the theme of Rhino plays into the arena, causing the audience to cheer for the 'War Machine' ready to make an arrival. Rhino walks out wearing a suit confusingly, as Rhino seems to be very formal here tonight in Orlando, Florida. The crowd still cheer him and think of him as the extremist they've seen win the World Championship before, as Rhino steps into the ring, meeting with Jim Cornette. Cornette asks Rhino if he's ready to begin the contract signing he has to fulfill in order to get a shot at Raven on December 7th. Rhino accepts this, as he then goes on to speak about Raven. He always saw Raven as a colleague, even when he was pulling all of that emotionally depressive boy bullsh*t in Philadelphia, and he saw respect in Raven when he was a cult leader in Atlanta, and even in New York, when the two met on pay-per-view for a title with next to no prestige, they both fought each other with loyalty, respect and fought to what would become one of the greatest matches in the title belt's history [their match at Backlash 2001 over the WWF Hardcore Championship]. But all of that was lost when Raven just had to turn the envelope and turn his back on everything he made to perfection and join a demeaning organization known as the Main Event Mafia. Rhino tells Raven that it's too late now, though, and that if he has to tear Raven down in a way that forces him to not touch him within today and December 7th, then that is what he will do. The theme of Raven hits the arena as the crowd erupts in boos, the newest addition to the Main Event Mafia walking down the rampway wearing his suit as the former NWA Heavyweight Champions met in the ring in an intense face-off! The crowd in the iMPACT Zone popped as Jim Cornette reminded both men that they cannot make physical contact otherwise the contract for their Clockwork Orange House of Fun match at TNA Final Resolution will be null and void. Raven asks Rhino what he seriously thinks of him. Raven tells Rhino and the fans that he is full of sh*t when he says he respected him. Raven tells us that Rhino used to show no respect for him. He used to be an animal, a monster. He could have been bigger, but after the two wrestled in New York, Rhino got weaker and weaker, and eventually he came to TNA a shell of the man he used to be. The real Rhino would not have let his wife done what she did to him. The real Rhino would have kicked her ass and Gore'd her out of HIS house! Raven tells Rhino that he's sickened by what Rhino has become now. He's an old veteran now, but he's babysitting little brats that probably have no respect for him anyway. Raven bends over and signs the contract, telling Rhino to sign it if he wants to become even more humiliated. Rhino still picks up the pen and signs the contract as the contract has been signed! The crowd pop as Raven and Rhino nod their heads, returning into a staredown before Raven picks up one side of the table and tosses it at Rhino! Raven laughs as Rhino sits in the corner, taking the table from on top of him as Raven tells Jim not to screw the contract up because HE didn't physically touch the 'War Machine'. Raven laughs as he leaves, Rhino angered! It's going to be a long twenty-eight days for Rhino! [21:43-21:45][/color] - A video package airs, recapping us back to the history of how Robert Roode and James Storm of Beer Money Inc became a team and grew to become TNA World Tag Team Champions, starting from Hard Justice as they defeated Hernandez and Homicide of LAX. Soon, their reign crossed paths with Brother Ray and Brother Devon of Team 3D as well as the dominant styles of Abyss and Matt Morgan. [21:45-22:02][/color] - Match #5: Robert Roode and James Storm with Jacqueline Moore defeated Brother Ray and Brother Devon, Homicide and Hernandez & Matt Morgan and Abyss in a four-team elimination match to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships[/color] The stakes for this one was high as these were four aggressive powerhouses of a team, and even when one of the teams became champions and winners of the match, they'd have four teams on them, not three, as the winners of this one would face Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin for the straps at Final Resolution next month. Hernandez and Robert Roode started things off as Roode cowered away from Hernandez's powerful offense, tagging in Brother Ray as those two titans brawled. When Matt Morgan got in there though, taking the tag from Hernandez, he demolished Team 3D. At one point, Team 3D and Beer Money Inc were taken out of the ring, as they ended up brawling, big Hernandez making a suicide dive onto all four of them in an amazing spot! Up next was Homicide, who got on the top rope and landed a perfect 450 splash, as Robert Roode and James Storm once again found themselves cowering from their all-powerful adversaries. Brother Ray would end up getting nailed with a Border Toss by Hernandez, eliminating Ray and Devon from the hunt, Team 3D getting erased at the eight minute mark. Robert Roode and James Storm again tried to cower away from the monsterous two other teams as LAX and Matt Morgan and Abyss ended up brawling, Roode and Storm mainly hanging around on the ringside area of the arena with manager, Jacqueline Moore. Eventually, Morgan nailed Homicide with the Carbon Footprint, Roode getting a blind tag as Beer Money slammed Morgan with an impressive DWI! Roode hooked Homicide's leg as Storm traded blows with Hernandez, eliminating LAX from the match at the twelve minute mark. Abyss, who hadn't been in the ring legally for the entire match ended up just standing in place, then turning around and suddenly tagging Matt Morgan in! Abyss left the ring as Morgan was distracted! Robert Roode and James Storm nailed the DWI on Morgan for the win! **3/4[/color] [22:02-22:04][/color] - Robert Roode and James Storm hug each other as the theme of Beer Money Inc plays throughout the arena, Jacqueline Moore their manager rushing into the ring, handing them their TNA World Tag Team Championship belts. Matt Morgan sits up as Beer Money begin to head up the rampway, Morgan pissed off, slapping the mat as the announcers discuss what Abyss's problem is. [22:04-22:06][/color] - A video package airs, recapping us on the feud between Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe, dating back to their relationship of sorts, being drastically bumped and in needs of assistance during hard times, where Samoa Joe would insult an un-named friend of Kevin Nash when being absent from a show in which that friend was headlining. But it all came down to Bound For Glory IV as Samoa Joe, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion took on 'The Icon' Sting, but it was Kevin Nash who turned his back on Joe, and a week later, formed the Main Event Mafia with Sting, Kurt Angle and Booker T, aswell as Raven. Tonight, they collide in a street fight. [22:06-22:07][/color] - We cut to the backstage parking lot as Jeremy Borash was standing by with the 'Samoan Submission Machine' just moments away from his street fight against old mentor, 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash. JB asks Joe on his thoughts going into the match here tonight, Joe going to say that his prime target was annihilating Nash right here, but Kurt Angle attacked him from behind! [22:07-22:14][/color] - Match #6: Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe in a street fight[/color] [/i] This was a nothing match, really. It started as Kurt Angle, a man who wasn't even allowed to be in the arena at the iMPACT Zone tonight interrupted Samoa Joe's interview as Jeremy Borash overlooked the situation. Angle proceeded in delivering some clobbering blows to the head of Joe, belly-to-belly overhead suplexing him impressively onto a car, then locking in the Ankle Lock! Joe would break out however and lock in the Kohita Clutch on the floor! However, Kevin Nash suddenly appeared, taking a lead pipe and slamming Joe in the skull with it! Joe was covered for the three! N/A[/color] [22:14-22:15][/color] - Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle celebrated as we suddenly saw Jeff Jarrett, Founder of TNA walk through some hallways! [22:15-22:24][/color] - 'My World' played into the arena as the crowd popped, the TNA Founder storming down the rampway and climbing into the ring, Jeff Jarrett obviously not in a good mood as he took the microphone from David Penzer. Jarrett began to yell about how the Main Event Mafia were full of crap! He called Sting a complete coward of his word and legacy and that he's set up a cursed organization set to destroy Total Nonstop Action Wrestling! Jarrett continues his tirade, stating how Kurt Angle crossed the line once too many times, and now he must be punished! Jarrett calls Angle's ass out to the ring and threatened that if he didn't, he would be fired just like all of his other Main Event Mafia bitches! Kurt Angle's theme then hit the arena as Kurt Angle came out, not wearing his jacket and with three buttons undone, a tainted grin on his face whilst walking down the rampway. Angle climbed into the ring and asked Jarrett what he wants, and who the hell he thinks he is. Jarrett tells Angle that he made this company and it's about time he clears house with some cleaning out of the roster! The crowd pop before Angle asks Jarrett what he did exactly, because technically, he was outside of Soundstage 21, aka the iMPACT Zone when he just attacked Samoa Joe! The crowd then hisses more as Angle talks about how MEM is not TNA. And they are not here to make friends, or make contracts or whatever. They will leach off of TNA's money in contracts, but those contracts are invincible. If Jarrett fires them, their lawyers will all kick Jarrett's ass in court and strip him of his powers, his wealth, and the clothes off of his back! The crowd boo as Jarrett calmly asks if Angle and him could settle it one way. Inside the ring! The crowd begin to cheer as Jarrett removes his shirt, but Angle tells Jeff that he'll see him in the ring...by himself. But he declines! The crowd boo as Jarrett nods, but then lays Angle out with a left hand! The two have a pull-apart brawl as Jarrett is restrained by many security officials whereas Angle leaves the ring, Jeff very annoyed! [22:24-22:27][/color] - A full review of the rivalry gone on between 'The Icon' Sting and 'The Phenomenal One' AJ Styles is shown, reviewing the route AJ came to get to where he is today, meeting Sting back in 2003 and Sting training him up to be a true innovator in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, just for Sting to turn on AJ and see him as an obnoxious punk, starting up the Main Event Mafia. The TNA World Heavyweight Championship is on the line...next! [22:27-22:55][/color] - Match #7: AJ Styles defeated Sting to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship[/color] Wow, what an amazing match this one was. An amazing effort on both men's parts as this match was fantastic. Definately the match of the night, with Christian Cage and Booker T's match definately following up close. Sting went into this one as prepared as AJ Styles, and both men looked amazing as Sting and AJ stared each other down before engaging in a grapple. Sting and AJ would then grapple around, pulling some wise technical moves, alot of chain wrestling, which is very different from what we'd normally see from 'The Icon'. Sting seemed very professional and fought as though he was back in his prime against the 'Phenomenal One'. Sting began to underestimate AJ however, spanning from AJ attempting a springboard flying forearm only for Sting to cut him off midway with a clothesline! Sting would then go to work on the spine of Styles, delivering a dangerous backbreaker visibly shaking the challenger up. The passion of AJ Styles, though just showed how much potential he had as Styles refused to give up, even when Sting had AJ trapped with nowhere to go in a boston crab. AJ broke out of it, though, using some strength to pull himself to his own feet and attempt to follow up with some more offense, trading blows with Sting, but the wise veteran kicked AJ in the gut and began to follow up on the working of Styles' back, Sting using some more offense, even when AJ was trying to still fire back, Sting went up to the top with AJ and caught him off-guard with a superplex. Sting would then set up for the Scorpion Death Drop, but AJ slipped out of it, nailing the TNA World Heavyweight Champion with a Pelé Kick! AJ went up top to nail the Spinal Tap, but Sting rolled out of the way! AJ recovered as both men got to their feet individually, Sting nailing the Scorpion Death Drop! Sting covered...one...two...AJ kicked out! Sting looked shocked as he grabbed the legs of AJ, going for the Scorpion Deathlock now! He tried to turn AJ over, and even through struggle, did it! AJ was trapped in the Scorpion Deathlock for moments, the legend still working a now thirty minute match, but AJ used what was left of his energy to break out! The fans cheered AJ on as he kicked Sting in the gut and picked him up, but Sting reversed it into a backdrop! AJ landed on his feet, ran off of the ropes and nailed Sting with a flying forearm! AJ went to get Sting's head between his legs for the Styles Clash, but Sting backdropped him again! AJ landed on his feet yet again, Sting turned around, got kicked in the gut and AJ got him up! He got his legs over Sting's arms and nailed it! The Styles Clash got it! AJ turned Sting over...one...two...three! ****[/color] [22:55-22:58][/color] - 'I Am' played as AJ Styles fell on his front, head first into the canvas. The crowd were chanting the 'Phenomenal One's' name as TNA Originals, Curry Man, Shark Boy, Petey Williams, Samoa Joe [albeit a bandaged forehead], Mick Foley, Eric Young, Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Rhino all coming down to the ring as red and yellow ticker tape fell from the rafters in the iMPACT Zone! AJ was handed his belt by Curry Man, who then unmasked to show himself as Christopher Daniels! Daniels passed AJ the mask of Curry Man, the two laughing and hugging as the mask fell to the floor, AJ Styles is on top of the TNA mountain again, the Originals reign supreme over the Main Event Mafia as AJ Styles is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion! F*ck the haters, this night belongs to TNA! Turning Point goes off the air... [/center][/font]

I wasn't too sure on Matt Hardy opening SmackDown since he is the ECW Champion, and him losing to Shelton Benjamin, the U.S Champion was weird to me since the ECW Championship is the bigger belt. As I read more of the show, it made sense because of having Shelton on Mark Henry's team. Anyway, why the am I complaining? It's a push for Shelton freakin' Benjamin. The Undertaker vs. The Big Show AND Vickie Guerrero? That is a pretty horrid decision, especially considering Vickie was scared sh*tless of 'Taker. I'm all for a dominating Ezekiel Jackson. Although, Zeke vs. Khali is bleh. You having Zeke attack Ranjin afterwards pretty much has feud written all over it. Victoria/Natalya over The Bellas is fine. Maryse push plz. Jeff Hardy vs. MVP sounded great. Wasn't MVP on his losing streak at this point? I actually really liked the segment with Kizarny, Kendrick and Khali. I could picture it happening. I can't say that I liked Kizarny when he was Kizarny. I preferred him as Sinn in TNA, tbh. Main event was solid. I was glad you kept the title on HHH as I can't stand Kozlov.
