NEXT PAY PER VIEW| SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005 TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD -MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH ANNOUNCED ENTRANTS| AJ STYLES, ALEX SHELLEY, BOBBY ROODE, CHRIS HARRIS, CHRIS SABIN, DOUG WILLIAMS, JEFF HARDY, JEFF JARRETT, LOW KI, NIGEL McGUINNESS & STING -TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| (c) JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS | TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN - HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT opened with highlights from last week where 3 of the favourites to win the upcoming Gauntlet for the Gold match AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy & Low Ki stated their case as to why they wanted to become the top contender to the TNA title before being attacked by Wildcat Wrestling Academy (Cliff Compton, Eddie Colon, Norman Smiley, Ryan O’Reilly & Shawn Daivari) led by former TNA champion, Chris Harris then as Harris stood tall motioning for the TNA title – ‘The Icon’ Sting appeared on the stage and let everyone know he too was looking to win the Gauntlet for the Gold and become the top contender to the TNA title.
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports. Shane Douglas was alongside Borash and the two men hyped tonight’s show which will be a proving ground for the Wildcat Wrestling Academy because they will all be in action plus we would hear from Chris Harris. Also tonight we would hear from Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) for the first time since losing the TNA Tag Team titles and more entrants in the Gauntlet for the Gold match will be revealed…
- TONIGHT| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V SHAWN DAIVARI – RON KILLINGS V EDDIE COLON – INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS V WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY!
- TIME LIMITS| All TNA IMPACT matches have a 20 minute time limit.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Norman Smiley who was showing the effects of falling from the Steel Cage at TNA LockDown, the head coach at the Wildcat Wrestling Academy spoke with TNA.com and warned everyone that we have only seen a taste of what the Wildcat Wrestling Academy is made of but tonight Cliff Compton, Eddie Colon, Ryan O’Reilly & Shawn Daivari make their biggest statement yet…
- MATCH 1| RON KILLINGS V EDDIE COLON W. NORMAN SMILEY| Good test for Eddie Colon tonight against Ron Killings who is 11 years older than Colon and has competed in 50 more singles matches than Colon here in TNA however not with as much success as Killings would have liked or would have been predicted when Killings was signed. Killings is looking to turn that around. Nice little match between the two, Colon has talent and picked up the impressive victory after catching Killings with a frog splash. Strong start for the Wildcat Wrestling Academy and two wins from two for Eddie Colon. RESULT| EDDIE COLON BEAT RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash & Shane Douglas announced more entrants in the upcoming Gauntlet for the Gold match – Eddie Colon, Ron Killings, Petey Williams, Amazing Red, Jerry Lynn, BG James, Kip James, Brian Kendrick, Hernandez, Chris Hero, Diamond Dallas Page and Abyss!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Bobby Roode following his victory over Hernandez last week speaking backstage said it’s clear to the world that Bobby Roode is banging on the door and is “this” close to breaking the door down and breaking into the top tier here in TNA wrestling. Setbacks will only make Roode more determined and Roode told no one to count him out because as the most calculated and dangerous man in the business he has always got something planned which could see him win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and become the top contender to the TNA title.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Brian Kendrick said the wrestling business is known for its shocks and while no one is expecting Kendrick to win the Gauntlet for the Gold anything can happen in this business especially if Kendrick gets the right number! Kendrick revealed that being a realist he has also agreed to face CM Punk at the Pay per View also because while Kendrick may not win the Gauntlet he could beat CM Punk and get in line for either a shot at the TNA T.V title or TNA title that way.
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| BRIAN KENDRICK V CM PUNK!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| 4 WAY| BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) W. JOHNNY FAIRPLAY V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) V WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN 0’REILL.Y)!
- MATCH 2| INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) V WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY) W. NORMAN SMILEY| Two relatively new teams competing against one another tonight with the size and power advantage foing to Compton & O’Reilly who are daunting to look at against the speed and slight experience advantage going to Dutt & Perkins. Interesting match as Compton & O’Reilly couldn’t deal with the speed of International Hustlers and it came to cost them as Perkins pinned Compton with a roll up. RESULT| INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) BEAT WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY) VIA PIN FALL
- POST MATCH| In anger immediately Cliff Compton dropped TJ Perkins with his spinning lariat while Ryan O’Reilly dropped Sonjay Dutt from behind, despite leaving International Hustlers on their backs Norman Smiley was not happy and angrily laid into Compton and O’Reilly at ringside afterwards demanding more, telling them the Wildcat Wrestling Academy expects the best!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA LOCKDOWN| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT © ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUIL LONDON) TO BECOME THE NEW TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Zero Gravity earlier in the week sat down and spoke with Mike Tenay. Matt Sydal & Paul London were clearly still hurting following their loss to GREATNESS at TNA LockDown. Paul London spoke but was not as cocky or funny as he normally tends to be. London noted how during the post-match interview at TNA LockDown their fans booed GREATNESS and while they appreciate that, what Aries said was not wrong and they very quickly learned that defending the TNA Tag Team titles is a lot harder than winning the TNA Tag Team titles. Sydal took over and said because of their attitude people like to question their passion and commitment, go off their reaction tonight and watch their performance in their upcoming rematch to see how much the TNA Tag Team titles means to them. London again spoke, Zero Gravity realise they are in a tricky situation now they may have missed their opportunity to adapt so they have to think of something different but Zero Gravity will rise to the challenge and will once again become the TNA Tag Team champions because their recent loss has only made their desire to stronger!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Doug Williams said with the Gauntlet for the Gold match upon us everyone is starting to pick their favourites but the truth is no one can be ruled out, almost the entire roster meet in a match where the luck of the draw helps. Williams said while Christopher Daniels and Chris Harris have proved themselves over the years when they won their Gauntlet for the Gold match not many expected them too, so all Williams will say is he is in the condition of his life and give his all to become the first ever British TNA champion.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Coach D’Amore spoke on behalf of Petey Williams saying at TNA Gauntlet for the Gold, Williams will prove that not only is he the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada but also the best TNA has to offer because regardless of the number, Williams if he has to has the ability and the conditioning to toss every other entrant over the top rope before winning the match and becoming the top contender to the TNA championship.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Chris Hero said at TNA LockDown he lost another solider because Brent Albright was not up for the job at hand of putting down ‘The Monster’ Abyss so while Lance Archer gets his opportunity at the Pay per View, Hero will be focusing on winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match and becoming the top contender to the TNA title proving to be the ultimate role model to all the dark and twisted souls out there proving that good things can happen to bad people!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| ABYSS V LANCE ARCHER!
- INTERVIEW| Returned to the ring where Shawn Daivari and Chris Harris were waiting to talk, Daivari ahead of facing James Storm was holding the microphone as Harris spoke. Harris said he would never give in, never stop, never quit. Despite what happened at TNA LockDown, Harris still knows that he is the best option to lead TNA wrestling and while TNA LockDown was a setback all Harris has to do is something that he has already done and that is win the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Harris like he showed last week does not believe it is going to be a problem because Harris has more talent than anybody else, Harris has more heart than everybody else, Harris works harder than everybody else and nobody wants to be more successful and the face of TNA wrestling more than Chris Harris! Harris getting quite worked up said people got a big cheer last week out of Sting returning but the fact is Chris Harris has beaten Sting, Harris took the TNA title from AJ Styles and last week left Jeff Hardy and Low Ki on their backs! Chris Harris is the longest reigning TNA champion of all time and after he wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match at TNA Slammiversary he is getting his TNA title back!
- NEXT WEEK| DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE V NIGEL McGUINNESS – BROTHERS IN ARMS V BOX OFFICE – ANDYN DOUGLAS V PETEY WILLIAMS – DOUG WILLIAMS V BRENT ALBRIGHT!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
- MATCH 3| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V SHAWN DAIVARI W. NORMAN SMILEY| Backstage James Storm is not ashamed to admit that the betrayal of Shawn Daivari shocked and upset him. Daivari used to be a reporter here for TNA and Storm classed Daivari as a friend. Storm got a measure of revenge at TNA LockDown knocking Daivari out with his Super kick before his TNA title match also during the match Storm knocked Smiley from the cage and Smiley had to be helped from ringside by paramedics. Storm had fun beating up Daivari and it only took so long because of how much fun was having, Storm finally put Daivari out of his misery following his Eye of the Storm and a Super kick. RESULT| JAMES STORM BEAT SHAWN DAIVARI VIA PIN FALL
- POST MATCH| James Storm celebrated victory in his 62nd match here in TNA wrestling. Storm grabbed his TNA title but before Storm could celebrate any further Christopher Daniels was in the ring, crowd were on their feet as Daniels spun Storm around and quickly spiked Storm with his Angels Wings! Christopher Daniels is back! Daniels stared down at James Storm before a smile appeared on Daniels’ face knowing that his plan may have worked to perfection. Daniels dropped to his knees and stared at the TNA title which lay in front of him as TNA IMPACT went off the air.

Tonight ahead of the TNA title match we would hear from both Christopher Daniels and TNA champion, James Storm.
- TONIGHT| DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE V NIGEL McGUINNESS – BROTHERS IN ARMS V BOX OFFICE – ANDYN DOUGLAS V PETEY WILLIAMS – DOUG WILLIAMS V BRENT ALBRIGHT!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
- INTERVIEW| ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels the first ever TNA champion and the man who will challenge for the TNA championship this Sunday live on Pay per View joined Mike Tenay in the middle of the ring to speak about his recent strike action and title shot. Daniels wants to make his point clear his strike wasn’t a case of him throwing his toys out of the pram, Daniels without question earned the right to compete for the TNA championship and was not willing to risk his position or his health waiting for TNA management to award him his shot that’s why he went on strike and if by some miracle this Sunday, James Storm somehow retains the TNA title Daniels will fall back in line and compete week after week to earn another shot, all Daniels wanted was his shot and now he has it surprisingly all down to James Storm! Daniels called Storm an idiot and said while Storm beat Daniels the last time they met Daniels has beaten Storm twice before including the most humbling defeat of Storm’s career and no one should recognise Storm as a respectable TNA champion until he has beaten God’s gift to professional wrestling! Daniels warned Storm that he made the biggest mistake of his career and it will come back to haunt him this Sunday when Daniels once again makes history and once becomes the TNA champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash & Shane Douglas announced more entrants for the Gauntlet for the Gold match and predicted they may be touching 40 entrants come bell time Sunday making this the biggest Gauntlet for the Gold match in TNA history. Entrants included – Eric Young, Ken Phoenix, Frankie Kazarian, Michael Shane, Brent Albright, Dustin Rhodes and Lance Archer.
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Ken Phoenix standing with Alexis Laree spoke saying a couple of weeks ago it finally hit Phoenix that he needed to do something different with his career and while Phoenix is grateful to Dustin Rhodes he is now committed to Alexis Laree’s vision for him. Laree said everyone hated the person Ken Phoenix was but now when she was finished with Phoenix he would be a true superstar all he has to do is follow her command before telling Phoenix he is not grateful for everything Dustin Rhodes did for him!
- MATCH 1| DOUG WILLIAMS V BRENT ALBRIGHT| Former TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams is determined to go down in history as the first ever British TNA champion and has won all of his matches since returning from injury. Brent Albright proved to be a tough test for Williams, very stiff match but Williams managed to keep his momentum going into TNA Gauntlet for the Gold after beating Albright following a Tombstone pile driver. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT BRENT ALBRIGHT VIA PIN FALL
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Hernandez isn’t happy and said maybe he’s losing his edge forgetting where he come from. Hernandez can’t allow Alex Shelley to get one over on him and can’t allow Wildcat Wrestling Academy to jump him. Hernandez from the streets from the ghetto and it’s about time Hernandez remembered that and this Sunday everyone is going to see a pissed off Mexican dominate the Gauntlet for the Gold match!
- MATCH 2| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG JAMES & KIP JAMES) V BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) W. JOHNNY FAIRPLAY| A rematch from TNA LockDown and Brothers in Arms first match on TNA IMPACT. Box Office looking to even the scored heading into their 4 way this Sunday while both BG & Kip James are entered in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Decent match with the same result as TNA LockDown as Kip pinned Curtis following his famouser. BG & Kip may be partners and brothers tonight but this Sunday they will be opponents because it is everyman for themselves in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. RESULT| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES) BEAT BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) VIA PIN FALL
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| TNA T.V champion, Chris Sabin said two years ago he had not long debuted here in TNA and was finding his feet and now just two years later, 62 matches later and at the age of just 23 he is showing everyone that he belongs current TNA T.V champion, winner of the first and only Next Step tournament and has already challenged for the TNA title and now at TNA Slammiversary Sabin plans on challenging for the title again but this Sabin is leaving with the gold. Sabin promised to make a believer out of everyone this Sunday live on Pay per View!
- MATCH 3| ANDY DOUGLAS V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE| Petey Williams beat Andy Douglas’ partner Chase Stevens a few weeks ago and showed a more violent side and tonight was no different, Williams again completely dominated the match before putting Douglas away with his Canadian Destroyer. Following the match a number of replays were shown of the Canadian Destroyer as Coach D’Amore told everyone that Petey Williams would win the Gauntlet for the Gold match! RESULT| PETEY WILLIAMS BEAT ANDY DOUGLAS VIA PIN FALL
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Alex Shelley with his partner in crime, Angelina Love joked and laughed about the amount of people who have said they are going to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match, you all can’t win! Shelley had some bad news for everyone that he fancies winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match just like he won the Battle Royal at TNA Bound for Glory so that is exactly what he is going to do!
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash announced that at TNA Slammiversary live on Pay per View on Sunday 19th June 2005 the last show of the TNA year and the last show before the entrants in the TNA Championship Series will be named the TNA Tag Team titles will be on the line when GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) defend against Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) before revealing that this Sunday at TNA Gauntlet for the Gold they will hold the official contract signing and it promises according to sources to be one of the most unique contract signings in TNA history!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODEICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
- MATCH 4| DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Two of the potential dark horses to go on to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match this Sunday. DDP is a former World champion – beaten the best while McGuinness despite his bad attitude is so talent and no’s many different styles. Tonight’s match was more of a brawl which DDP enjoys also and it turned into a very good match with McGuinness rebounding from recent losses to maybe pick up his biggest scalp to date after he blocked Page’s Diamond Cutter before drilling DDP with his Jawbreaker Lariat for the 3 count. Could Nigel McGuinness pull of the biggest victory of his career this Sunday and win the Gauntlet for the Gold match! RESULT| NIGEL McGUINNESS BEAT DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE VIA PIN FALL
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| The last recorded interview hyping the Gauntlet for the Gold match was with Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett said everyone probably loved the fact that he failed to beat Chris Sabin at TNA LockDown and now have probably convinced themselves that Jarrett is passed it or that the business has passed him by but everyone will learn this Sunday that everything Jarrett has ever said will be proven to be true when he wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match before on the night of TNA’s3 Year anniversary goes on to become the TNA champion!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH!
- SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2005| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS
- HISTORY| Total meetings – 4| James Storm wins -1| Christopher Daniels wins – 2| Draw – 1
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| James Storm from his barn at home said everything Christopher Daniels has claimed these last few weeks/months while on strike is not too far away from the truth, it is true that Christopher Daniels not only beat Storm but in the biggest match of Storm’s career at that point, Daniels completely outwrestled and humbled Storm before making Storm tap out in front of his friends and family. Storm admitted as he has previously that, that loss hurt him more than any other and while Storm made up for it a little by beating Daniels in the finals of the TNA Championship Series, Daniels does deserve a shot at the TNA title especially if Storm wants to look himself in the mirror. Storm questioned whether he would regret giving Daniels this shot at the TNA title but Storm said he would regret it if he didn’t but now this Sunday live on Pay per View, Storm is going to beat Daniels in the middle of the ring before sitting back with a beer to watch to see who wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match and see who he’ll be beating at TNA Slammiversary in June!
- VIDEO| TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports went off the air with a video hyping the Gauntlet for the Gold match this Sunday the first since the end of 2003. Video showed Christopher Daniels and Chris Harris winning the first two Gauntlet for the Gold matches before going on to become the TNA champion. Who will make history and win the Gauntlet for the Gold match this Sunday, Chris Harris? Jeff Jarrett? Nigel McGuinness? Abyss? Bobby Roode? Chris Sabin? AJ Styles? Jeff Hardy? Low Ki? Sting?

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING PRESENTS… TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD – LIVE ON PAY PER VIEW!
TNA Gauntlet for the Gold opened with a video package hyping tonight’s card especially the TNA championship match where current TNA champion, James Storm will defend against the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels who has beaten Storm twice previously including the most humbling defeat of Storm’s career. Plus the Gauntlet for the Gold match where the majority of the TNA roster will compete for the right to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Slammiversary next month, video finished looking at some of the favourites to win the Gauntlet for the Gold including Chris Harris, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Low Ki and Sting!
Fireworks went off around the arena as Jeremy Borash’s voice welcomed viewers to TNA Gauntlet for the Gold live on Pay per View. Borash now shown in the studio overlooking the arena was joined by Shane Douglas the two men immediately started hyping the Gauntlet for the Gold match with Douglas saying despite what the opening video showed the Gauntlet for the Gold match has no favourites, the luck of the draw is important and tonight is an opportunity for everyone on the TNA Roster to make a name for themselves and earn the biggest opportunity and pay day of their careers by winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match and going on to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Slammiversary!
A number of the Gauntlet for the Gold entrants including Doug Williams, Bobby Roode, TNA T.V champion Chris Sabin, Diamond Dallas Page, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Harris, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Low Ki were shown arriving at the arena throughout the day.
TIME LIMITS NO TIME LIMIT| Gauntlet for the Gold match 30 MINUTES| TNA championship match 20 MINUTES| Rest of card
MATCH 1| 4 WAY| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) V BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) W. JOHNNY FAIRPLAY V WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY) W. NORMAN SMILEY| 4 teams with similar records here in TNA all around the 50% win rate with Box Office’ record being the lowest but they have undoubtedly improved over the last few months and Johnny Fairplay despite how disgusting he is deserves some credit for bringing the best out of Curtis & Eckos. Norman Smiley was not happy with Wildcat Wrestling Academy the last time out after they lost to Dutt & Perkins. All four teams are looking to break away from the pack and become realistic contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles.
Fun way to kick off the Pay per View with all four teams having their moment to shine but it’s the Briscoe Brothers who seem to be catching on with the crowd especially since they left Heroes for Villains and the crowd were happy after the Briscoe’s caught Johnny Curtis with their springboard Doomsday Device for the victory. Mike Tenay on commentary said maybe the Briscoe Brothers are finally coming of age and are finally ready to compete for the TNA Tag Team titles. RESULT| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) BEAT INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS), BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) & WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY) VIA PIN FALL
TNA champion, James Storm was shown backstage being checked over by a TNA doctor ahead of his match against Christopher Daniels, Storm’s ribs were not taped for the first time since being attacked by Chris Harris & the Wildcat Wrestling Academy. Footage was also shown of Christopher Daniels arriving at the arena earlier today in a limousine, Daniels refused to talk to reporters as he entered the arena.
MATCH 2| ABYSS V LANCE ARCHER| Abyss’ former handler decided that it was time for Abyss to be ‘put down’ so went to Chris Hero and Heroes for Villains but ‘The Monster’ Abyss one by one is going through Heroes for Villains and is desperate to understand why his Father figure turned his back on him. Chris Hero has again stated that if Lance Archer loses tonight he is out of Heroes for Villains.
Two big men going at it, the fans enjoyed it we haven’t seen many match up to Abyss over the years but Archer did tonight. Archer brought the fight to Abyss and the two ended up putting on a decent match and the crowd were into the near falls at the end before Abyss caught Archer with a Choke slam before finishing Archer off with his Shock Treatment and Black Hole slam. Don Callis & Tenay agreed that if Abyss can get his mind right tonight and focus on the task at hand Abyss maybe the true favourite to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match as for Abyss’ mission to get his hands on Jim Mitchell only Chris Hero stands in Abyss’ way! RESULT| ABYSS BEAT LANCE ARCHER VIA PIN FALL
TNA Reporter, Don West was backstage with CM Punk ahead of Punk’s match against Brian Kendrick. Punk is not able to be entered into tonight’s Gauntlet for the Gold match due to the fact that Punk cannot challenge for the TNA title in 2005. West asked Punk how he was feeling which Punk snapped at West, Punk said tonight it’s hit him hard, just how much being the TNA champion means to him and the fact that he can’t not compete in the Gauntlet for the Gold match is eating him up inside and he knows TNA management is having a great laugh at his expense but Punk knows that soon enough TNA management is going to slip up and Punk will take advantage and have the last laugh. Punk warned Brian Kendrick that if can’t compete for the TNA title than Kendrick won’t be either…
MATCH 3| BRIAN KENDRICK V CM PUNK| CM Punk genuinely feels TNA management have an agenda against him. Punk has not competed in 2 months but when he has been in action Punk has been impressive since losing to AJ Styles and is yet to taste defeat. Brian Kendrick accepted this match because he knows his chances of winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match are slim, he has better odds to beat Punk and Kendrick knows that currently he is probably just missing out on being entered into the TNA Championship Series so Kendrick is trying to build on his recent victories.
Really good match, Kendrick who was trained by Shawn Michaels is great the announcers believe he just needs to find himself and he’ll be off like a rocket, believing Kendrick is holding back a little. Some very good near falls down the stretch, Kendrick easily Punk’s toughest challenge since TNA Genesis but Punk managed to put Kendrick away after spiking him with his Pepsi Plunge. CM Punk is arguably in the form of his life and its killing Punk that he cannot challenge for the TNA championship. RESULT| CM PUNK BEAT BRIAN KENDRICK VIA PIN FALL
SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY
SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Jeremy Borash was in charge of proceedings for the contract signing and standing in the middle of the ring Borash praised the classic rivalry between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity which started in March last year and has produced 8 unbelievable matches since all which will be remembered in years to come and they will meet again next month live on Pay per View at TNA Slammiversary for the TNA Tag Team titles!
Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) were out first then the champs, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. London & Sydal showing respect to the champions opened the ropes for Aries & Strong as they entered the ring and then offered their hands to the TNA Tag Team champions and the two teams shook hands. Borash said this contract signing is different to most contract signings because TNA management is allowing the two teams decide the stipulations tonight then once agreed both teams should sign the contract and the match will be official.
Matt Sydal surprisingly grabbed a microphone first and started off by congratulating GREATNESS on once again becoming the TNA Tag Team champions admitting that they were the better prepared team going into their match last month. Aries told Zero Gravity that for now they are keeping their guard up because for all they know Zero Gravity are trying to get inside their heads but what Aries will admit with the announcement of the “blank contract” is that they are getting sick and tired of facing Zero Gravity, they’re not sure how much more their bodies can take and honestly this could go on for a while there’s no saying their match at TNA Slammiversary will be their last unless they make it official tonight. One final match, no time limits they finally settle the debate who is the best tag team in the world today, GREATNESS or Zero Gravity! Paul London likes the sound of that but he wants to add something, London spoke to Sydal of mic before addressing GREATNESS again. London told GREATNESS they were right and they would accept them stipulations as long as GREATNESS agree to add one.

Screen went black before men’s screams could heard, they were getting louder and louder until a black and white image of a Samoan man was showing staring down the camera before the screen went black again apart from small white text which just read… “Samoa Joe!”

Samoa Joe debuts next month at TNA Slammiversary live on Pay per View! Up next, James Storm defends the TNA championship against Christopher Daniels…
Video aired looking at the history between Christopher Daniels and James Storm, both are former TNA champions. Daniels the first ever winning the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match to become TNA champion and Storm currently. Daniels holds two previous victories over Storm the second being the most humbling defeat of Storm’s career as it was the biggest match of Storm’s career at that point and Daniels made Storm tap out in front of Storm’s friends and family. Storm went on to win the first ever TNA Championship Series beating Daniels for the first time ever in the finals before beating Chris Harris to become the TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory. Daniels despite losing to Storm led the TNA Championship Series from start to finish without losing a match and due to that plus his record against Storm demanded a TNA title match and when he wasn’t handed on Daniels walked out went on strike. It was James Storm who agreed to give Christopher Daniels the TNA title saying he would have regretted it if he didn’t because people would have something to question about Storm’s reign as TNA champion. Who wins tonight and heads into TNA Slammiversary as the TNA champion!
Christopher Daniels and TNA champion, James Storm was shown making their way from their respective lockers for their TNA championship match…
MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Daniels and Storm have met 4 times previously, Daniels has the edge winning 2 while Storm won the last meeting plus they have also wrestled to a 20 minute time limit drawing during the TNA Championship Series. Storm averages a 74.51% win rate while Daniels averages a 68.97% win rate but this year most of that figure has been affected by Daniels forfeiting matches or multi man matches where Daniels was not the man beat.
Crowd were fully behind Storm as the two men stood in opposite corners waiting for the bell to ring. Great match maybe the best match of Storm’s reign as TNA champion. Daniels has clearly not just been sitting at home waiting for his opportunity he was prepared for tonight and in the opening minutes Daniels frustrated Storm by outwrestling him. Storm refocused and played to his strengths which are more brawling than wrestling. Both men were determined to leave tonight as the TNA champion and both have the proven quality to make that happen, the fans were on the edge of their seats throughout. Daniels got the first near fall with his Last Rites then after that they started coming thick and fast. Daniels after his B.M.E and Storm twice once following his Eye of the Storm and the other after a top rope suplex. Daniels was desperate for his Angels Wings which he used to beat Storm with the first time while Storm wanted his Super kick which Storm used to beat Daniels in their last meeting and it seemed like Storm caught Daniels with the Super kick but Daniels caught and countered quickly dropping Storm and locking Storm in his Koji clutch the same move Daniels made Storm tap out too. Daniels was pulling at Storm’s head with all of his might but Storm refused to give in tonight and made it to the bottom rope to break the hold to the relief of the crowd.
Match continued for a few more minutes with Daniels seemingly moments away from once again becoming the TNA champion but Daniels still could not hit his Angels Wings after trying again but Storm countering and Daniels blocking Daniels dropped Storm with a uranage before again attempting his B.M.E for the second time only this time Storm rolled out of the way but Daniels also landed on his feet but the split second it took Daniels to sort his feet was all Storm needed to drop Daniels with his Super kick which was enough to keep Daniels down for the 3 count and to retain the TNA championship. RESULT| JAMES STORM BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN TNA CHAMPIONSHIP
Great match, Daniels was out cold before rolling out of the ring with the help of the match official. Daniels said in the lead up to tonight’s match that if he was unsuccessful tonight he would get back in line and compete for another opportunity at the TNA championship.
Storm was handed his TNA title and was slow walking around the ring showing the title of to the crowd feeling the effects of a tough few weeks but Storm has made it clear he would rather compete than not. TNA Announcer, Mike Tenay entered the ring to speak with Storm who told Tenay that he loves this feeling, the feeling of winning a hard fought battle like tonight and it feels even better when he gets to go home with the TNA title but now it was time to go backstage crack open a cold one and sit back and watch the Gauntlet for the Gold match to find out who’s next but Storm feels bad for the winner because after busting their ass tonight they are going to come up short next month at TNA Slammiversary – Sorry about your damn luck!
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio went over the rules to the Gauntlet for the Gold match saying that the number of entrants each year are not the same and tonight they believe that 39 men have been entered into the match by far the biggest Gauntlet for the Gold match in TNA history and due to that new entrants will take place every 90 seconds. Elimination occurs when a man is thrown over the top rope and BOTH feet hit the floor, when the match comes down to 2 the bell will ring the match will stop then the two finalists would compete in a one fall to a finish match to determine the new top contender to the TNA championship! Borash introduced comments from recorded earlier today from some of the entrants in the Gauntlet for the Gold match….
AJ Styles knows that tonight is his opportunity to earn his shot at once again reclaiming the TNA title which he had stolen from him at the start of the last year. It’s in AJ’s hands and it’s been a long road but tonight AJ gets his happy ending and he will keep his promise to the fans by becoming the TNA champion in 2005. Chris Harris may have failed last month at TNA LockDown but he will not fail again tonight and Harris will repeat what he did in 2003 by winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match and going to become the TNA champion and eventually the face of TNA Wrestling! Jeff Hardy let himself down when challenging for the TNA title earlier in the year when an arrogant side of him that he didn’t know existed came out of him but in losing it taught Hardy how much becoming the TNA champion means to him and Hardy can’t think of a better way than celebrating his 1st year here in TNA by becoming the TNA champion at TNA Slammiversary. There were also comments from Chris Sabin, Doug Williams, Bobby Roode and Jeff Jarrett before Low Ki rounded out the recorded promo’s by saying in July 2003 he was told he would never wrestle again but tonight Low Ki stands in front of the world one match away from competing for the TNA championship next month and Low Ki is not going to let the opportunity slip through his fingers because Low Ki now knows that any match could be his last…
Quick video hyping the Gauntlet for the Gold match aired who will become the top contender to the TNA championship and challenge for the TNA title at TNA Slammiversary next month, the video finished with a close up shot of ‘The Icon’ Sting!
MATCH 5| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH| ABYSS V AJ STYLES V ALEX SHELLEY V AMAZING RED V ANDY DOUGLAS V BG JAMES V BOBBY ROODE V BRENT ALBRIGHT V BRIAN KENDRICK V CHASE STEVENS V CHRIS HARRIS V CHRIS HERO V CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTIAN YORK V DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE V DUSTIN RHODES V DOUG WILLIAMS V EDDIE COLON V FRANKIE KAZARIAN V HERNANDEZ V JEFF HARDY V JEFF JARRETT V JERRY LYNN V JOEY MATTHEWS V JOHNNY DEVINE V KEN PHOENIX V LANCE ARCHER V LOW KI V KIP JAMES V MICHAEL SHANE V MONTY BROWN V NIGEL McGUINNESS V PETEY WILLIAMS V RAY GORDY V RON KILLINGS V SHAWN DAIVARI V SILAS YOUNG V STING| ORDER OF ENTRY ELIMINATION ORDER (ELIMINATED BY)| NUMBER 1| EDDIE COLON NUMBER 2| BRENT ALBRIGHT Colon and Albright both making their Gauntlet for the Gold match debuts, both will have to survive at least 60 minutes to earn the right to challenge for the TNA championship next month at TNA Slammiversary. Colon who has won both his matches here in TNA and Albright who is a former member of Heroes for Villains both looked to eliminate one another early but with no success. NUMBER 3| BRIAN KENDRICK Brian Kendrick also making his Gauntlet for the Gold match debut was out third following his hard fought loss to CM Punk earlier tonight. Last year entrant NO.3 was the first eliminated from the match. Kendrick was looking to change that tonight and give a good showing of himself. NUMBER 4| KIP JAMES Kip James the 4th entrant in the match and the 4th man making his Gauntlet for the Gold debut. Kip was the biggest man in the match now and came in with a lot of momentum but still when the 90 seconds passed we were still waiting on the first elimination. NUMBER 5| FRANKIE KAZARIAN Frankie Kazarian was out next one half of New Millennium, Kazarian’s second appearance in a Gauntlet for the Gold match. Kazarian impressed last year lasting around 30 minutes and made it down to the last 9 before being eliminated by James Storm. Albright nailed Colon & Kendrick with an impressive German suplex NUMBER 6| RAY GORDY Ray Gordy one third of 3 Hot Blondes was out next also making his Gauntlet for the Gold. Don Callis noted that 3 Hot Blondes actually complained to TNA management about not being advertised beforehand claiming that the numbers are in their favour. Still no eliminations. NUMBER 7| HERNANDEZ ‘Mexican Muscle’ Hernandez was out next and Hernandez didn’t wait around Hernandez stormed down the aisle and immediately caught Kazarian with a springboard shoulder block. Hernandez on TNA IMPACT recently said he’s worried that he is losing his edge and is willing to go back to the ghetto to find himself. Hernandez promised to dominate the Gauntlet and got off to a great start by quickly eliminating Frankie Kazarian and then Brent Albright. ELIMINATION| FRANKIE KAZARIAN (HERNANDEZ) ELIMINATION| BRENT ALBRIGHT (HERNANDEZ) NUMBER 8| ANDY DOUGLAS Andy Douglas one half of The Naturals made his way out as Kip James tossed Ray Gordy out before Kip and Hernandez turned to face another which got a reaction from the crowd ELIMINATION| RAY GORDY (KIP JAMES) NUMBER 9| ALEX SHELLEY Alex Shelley was out and was nervous about getting into the ring due to Hernandez being in the ring but with Hernandez trying to eliminate Kip James, Shelley snuck in and attacked Hernandez from behind. Shelley has got inside Hernandez head over the last few months. While this was going on Kendrick eliminated Douglas by dropping down causing a charging Douglas to fly over the top rope. ELIMINATION| ANDY DOUGLAS (BRIAN KENDRICK) NUMBER 10| ERIC YOUNG Eric Young ran out making his second appearance and immediately inadvertently saved Shelley from being eliminated by targeting Hernandez which just sums up Young’s state of mind by targeting the biggest man in the match before moving on to Kip James. NUMBER 11| DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE DDP the former World champion was out next, another debutant. DDP has lost his 4 matches here in TNA and would need a miracle to pull out the victory tonight considering there are 10 additional entrant this year. Time wise this year number 11 is the equivalent as entering number 1 the previous two years. Eddie Colon managed to dump Kip James as Kip was trying to eliminate Young. The Wildcat Wrestling Academy student continuing to impress ELIMINATION| KIP JAMES (EDDIE COLON) NUMBER 12| JOEY MATTHEWS Joey Matthews was number 12, making his second appearance. Matthews’ first appearance since failing to end Jerry Lynn’s career last month when Lynn & Amazing Red beat Bad Street Boys. 7 men were now live in the match. Colon and Kendrick have both been in the match around the 20 minute mark. NUMBER 13| RON KILLINGS Ron Killings pulled the unlucky number 13. Killings’ 3rd appearance in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Killings in total has eliminated 3 men he may need a lot today to shock the world to win tonight’s match. Killings targeted Eddie Colon, Colon beat Killings on TNA IMPACT recently. Hernandez finally managed to get a measure of revenge on Alex Shelley by tossing Shelley high over the top rope to the floor seconds after Shelley had eliminated Brian Kendrick. ELIMINATION| BRIAN KENDRICK (ALEX SHELLEY) ELIMINATION| ALEX SHELLEY (HERNANDEZ) NUMBER 14| NIGEL McGUINNESS Hernandez was on fire now and quickly added to his total by eliminating Matthews after DDP had dropped him with a Diamond Cutter before eliminating Eddie Colon who recently beat down Hernandez alongside Wildcat Wrestling Academy. Impressive performance from Colon but not as impressive as Hernandez who had now eliminated 5 men matching the highest total from last year but still trailed Abyss’ record of 7 in one match. ELIMINATION| JOEY MATTHEWS (HERNANDEZ) ELIMINATION| EDDIE COLON (HERNANDEZ) NUMBER 15| MICHAEL SHANE Michael Shane was out next, Shane’s second appearance but Shane one half of New Millennium will be looking to do better than last year where Shane was eliminated first. 6 men were now live in the match Hernandez who has been the star of the show so far along with Shane, Young, DDP, Killings and McGuinness. NUMBER 16| BG JAMES BG James was the next in, BG’s current partner was eliminated earlier but BG’s former partner Ron Killings was still in the match. BG was also entered last year. BG took a few shots at Shane before coming face to face with Killings. Callis reminded everyone that BG actually eliminated Killings in the last Gauntlet match and proving it is everyman for themselves the two friends started exchanging right hands which Killings got the better of before McGuinness took advantage and tossed BG James over the top rope. ELIMINATION| BG JAMES (NIGEL McGUINNESS) NUMBER 17| CHRIS HERO Chris Hero drawing a number which isn’t ideal but not the worst number just below half way. Hero was in the Gauntlet for the Gold match the last time and put in a decent performance and Hero made an immediate impact here tonight eliminating DDP. Before working alongside Shane and Young to team up on Hernandez, Hernandez started fighting back only for Hero to rock Hernandez into the ropes with his Roaring elbow before eliminating the MVP of the match so far. ELIMINATION| HERNANDEZ (CHRIS HERO) NUMBER 18| JERRY LYNN Jerry Lynn’s third appearance and Lynn actually holds the record for the longest time in any Gauntlet for the Gold match at 40 minutes. Lynn has entered at the half way point but does Lynn have the legs to last the duration considering the talent that is still to come out including Chris Harris, Sting, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Low Ki and ‘The Monster’ Abyss! NUMBER 19| SILAS YOUNG The 2nd member of 3 Hot Blondes was out next making his Gauntlet for the Gold debut and still looking for his first victory here in TNA. Surprisingly Silas was not eliminated in seconds and actually made it to the next entrant… NUMBER 20| ABYSS The match completely stopped as ‘The Monster’ Abyss made his way down the aisle. Abyss’ 3rd appearance and Abyss holds the record number of elimination with 9 in total and the record in one match of 7. Silas Young was pushed towards Abyss as Abyss entered the ring and Abyss immediately dumped Young out of the ring. The crazy Eric Young was next but Abyss made short work of Young eliminating him also while Chris Hero looked on nervously, Abyss wasn’t done there and eliminated Michael Shane as Nigel McGuinness also got rid of Ron Killings. Just like that we were down to 4 men in the match (Abyss, Hero, Lynn and McGuinness) ELIMINATION| SILAS YOUNG (ABYSS) ELIMINATION| ERIC YOUNG (ABYSS) ELIMINATION| MICHAEL SHANE (ABYSS) ELIMINATION| RON KILLINGS (NIGEL McGUINNESS) NUMBER 21| BOBBY ROODE Bobby Roode the most dangerous and calculated man in TNA was out next and Roode was waiting around Roode ran down the aisle and went straight for Abyss seeing this Hero and McGuinness joined in and triple teamed Abyss finally getting Abyss down to a knee before trying to eliminate Abyss but with no success. Christopher Daniels won the first Gauntlet for the Gold match after entering number 21. NUMBER 22| DUSTIN RHODES Dustin Rhodes was next out, the veteran who has earned the respect of the TNA roster and fans making his first appearance in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Rhodes actually helped Abyss by going for Roode as Lynn grabbed McGuinness leaving Chris Hero all to Abyss. Abyss went straight for Hero but Hero quickly bailed out of the ring… NUMBER 23| LANCE ARCHER Chris Hero standing at the bottom of the ramp looked confident now Lance Archer was making his way towards ringside. Archer took Abyss to the limit earlier tonight before coming out on the losing end which supposedly meant Archer was out of Heroes for Villains. Archer realised that and instead of siding with Hero grabbed him and rolled Hero back into the ring at the feet of Abyss. Crowd were behind Abyss laying into Hero and the ring was starting to fill up again with 7 men live and the 8th about to enter. NUMBER 24| AJ STYLES AJ the former TNA champion came out to a huge ovation. AJ drew the number which won the last Gauntlet for the Gold match. The ‘Phenomenal One’ came in like a house on fire with a springboard flying forearm for McGuinness before dropping Roode with a drop kick and having a nice exchange with Lynn which ended with AJ dropping Lynn with his Styles Clash! AJ’s second appearance in the Gauntlet for the Gold match, AJ finished 3rd in his previous appearance and is determined to go one better than that tonight. McGuinness took advantage of AJ’s work and eliminated Lynn. ELIMINATION| JERRY LYNN (NIGEL McGUINNESS) NUMBER 25| KEN PHOENIX Ken Phoenix was out next making his Gauntlet for the Gold debut, Phoenix came out onto the stage with Alexis Laree his new manager before making his way towards the ring. Phoenix has a slightly new look with spiky gelled hair and black trunks. Dustin Rhodes was waiting for his former friend and protégé and took it straight too Phoenix on entry. At this point CM Punk was shown watching backstage as the announcers wondered why Punk was torturing himself by watching the match. NUMBER 26| CHASE STEVENS Chase Stevens was the next entrant his 2nd Gauntlet for the Gold match appearance. Announcers quickly noted that they have been told that there are 13 entrants still to come out before realising that a number of favourites are still to enter including Low Ki, Chris Harris, Jeff Hardy, Chris Sabin, Jeff Jarrett and Sting! Bobby Roode tossed Dustin Rhodes while Rhodes was distracted laying into Phoenix. ELIMINATION| DUSTIN RHODES (BOBBY ROODE) NUMBER 27| JEFF HARDY Jeff Hardy was out next another of the favourites despite the fact tonight is his Gauntlet for the Gold debut. Fans were on their feet for Hardy. Hardy came in and immediately caught Roode and Phoenix with his Whisper in the Wind before ducking a running boot from Archer which crotched Archer over the top rope and Hero quickly took advantage pushing Archer out as Hardy dropped Stevens with his Twist of Fate before tossing Stevens high over the top rope. ELIMINATION| LANCE ARCHER (CHRIS HERO) ELIMINATION| CHASE STEVENS (JEFF HARDY) NUMBER 28| PETEY WILLIAMS The self-proclaimed greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada was number 28. Williams’ has been waiting for his moment to make a statement and Williams’ has drew a strong number the only downfall may be the level of talent that is still to enter the match. AJ eliminated Phoenix to a great reaction, AJ’s first elimination of the match. Nigel McGuinness has been quietly going about his business McGuinness has now been in over 20 minutes and has eliminated 3 men, Hero has also eliminated 3 men but has been taking a beating from Abyss the last few minutes. Abyss is more focused on hurting Hero than eliminating him. ELIMINATION| KEN PHOENIX (AJ STYLES) NUMBER 29| CHRIS HARRIS Former TNA champion and the only Gauntlet for the Gold match winner entered in tonight’s match, Chris Harris was next out. Harris paced himself getting to the ring, watching the match at ringside scouting his best option before rolling into the ring attacking Hardy from behind and tossing Hardy over the top rope but to the relief of the crowd Hardy hung on. AJ and Hardy teamed up on Harris getting revenge for Harris and Wildcat Wrestling Academy jumping them recently on TNA IMPACT but they were not able to eliminate Harris as Roode and McGuinness tried to take advantage and eliminate both Hardy and Styles with no success. NUMBER 30| SHAWN DAIVARI Luckily for Chris Harris the next entrant was the remaining member of the Wildcat Wrestling Academy and former TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari, who is making his GFTG match debut also. 9 men were now in the match (AJ, Hardy, Abyss, Roode, McGuinness, Hero, Williams, Daivari and Harris). Daivari shadowed Harris with his goal seemingly to make sure Harris stays in the match. NUMBER 31| LOW KI Low Ki was out next to a monster pop, Ki a former TNA champion and was the runner up in his previous appearance in a Gauntlet for the Gold match and that may have just been because Low Ki injured his knee in the closing minutes. Ki had kicks for everyone has he entered the ring before Ki seen Abyss and despite the crowd now getting behind Abyss, Abyss is still the man who almost ended Low Ki’s career so Low Ki drilled Abyss with a running dropkick to the back in the corner before unloading with a number of kicks to a seated Abyss. Low Ki was ferocious with his kicks, Abyss managed to push Low Ki away but was clearly hurt and tired. Abyss has been in for a while and competed earlier tonight. NUMBER 32| CHRISTIAN YORK Christian York the other half of Bad Street Boys was out next but everyone’s attention was on Abyss and Low Ki. Abyss had Ki set up for his Shock Treatment but Ki escaped and clocked Abyss with a roundhouse kick to the head before Chris Harris smashed Abyss with a Spear before Hero, Roode, Williams and McGuinness dumped Abyss over the top rope eliminating ‘The Monster’. ELIMINATION| ABYSS (BOBBY ROODE, CHRIS HERO, NIGEL McGUINNESS & PETEY WILLIAMS) NUMBER 33| CHRIS SABIN TNA T.V champion, Chris Sabin was the next man in at number 33 making his 2nd appearance in a Gauntlet for the Gold match. Sabin drawing a very good number and it wouldn’t be a surprise the way Sabin has been performing lately if he came away with the victory here tonight. Daivari was still protecting Harris, while McGuinness, Hero and Roode were starting to feel the effects of being in the match so long. 11 men were now in the ring with only 6 men left to enter, the finish line is in sight… NUMBER 34| MONTY BROWN MONTY BROWN!! We haven’t seen Monty Brown since TNA Bound for Glory in November or any other member of Alpha Male Enterprise in fact. Brown the former leader of AME and former TNA Tag Team champion was straight in the ring smashing everyone in sight with his ‘Pounce’ tackle. Before eliminating Christian York, Shawn Daivari and Petey Williams in quick succession the crowd shocked and impressed by the dominance of the ‘Alpha Male’ were actually cheering Brown. What an impact from Monty Brown, 3 eliminations in under 90 seconds. ELIMINATION| CHRISTIAN YORK (MONTY BROWN) ELIMINATION| SHAWN DAIVARI (MONTY BROWN) ELIMINATION| PETEY WILLIAMS (MONTY BROWN) NUMBER 35| DOUG WILLIAMS Doug Williams the first ever TNA T.V champion was out next, Williams has made it clear that he is intent on becoming the first ever TNA champion, fellow Englishman Nigel McGuinness had now been in the match over 30 minutes. Williams’ has returned from injury in great shape. 10 men were live in the match at this point (McGuinness, Hero, Roode, Styles, Hardy, Harris, Low Ki, Sabin, Brown and Williams). Williams immediately went after old foe Chris Hero and unlike Abyss it was not long until Williams managed to eliminate the tiring Hero. Williams’ will have enjoyed that after being injured and beaten by Hero a number of times. Impressive performance from Hero though he had his hand in 4 eliminations and lasted around 30 minutes. ELIMINATION| CHRIS HERO (DOUG WILLIAMS) NUMBER 36| JOHNNY DEVINE The last member of 3 Hot Blondes was out next, Johnny Devine hoping to perform better than his partner earlier tonight. Devine entered at a bad time as the AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Low Ki were circling each other about to face off the crowd were on their feet in anticipation as Devine arrogantly got in the middle of the 3 and started pointing his finger and bad mouthing the 3 before Ki kicked Devine in the head before AJ caught him with his Pele kick then Hardy tossed the hapless Devine out to the floor. ELIMINATION| JOHNNY DEVINE (JEFF HARDY) NUMBER 37| STING Roode, McGuinness and Harris attacked Hardy, Low Ki and Styles from behind as the lights in the arena went off! When the lights came back on ‘The Icon’ Sting was standing in the middle of the ring. Sting with a great chance of now of winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match at his second attempt. Sting dropped everything that moved before catching Roode and Harris with Stinger splashes before Jeff Hardy tried to take advantage and catch Sting with his Twist of Fate but Sting countered by back dropping Hardy over the top rope to the floor, huge elimination! Hardy is gone. Hardy was upset at ringside. Sting may have been the favourite coming in to tonight but now Sting has to be regarded as the odds on favourite to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match. ELIMINATION| JEFF HARDY (STING) NUMBER 38| AMAZING RED Amazing Red making his 3rd appearance in a Gauntlet for the Gold match was the penultimate entrant, one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team champions has pulled of some great upsets in the past but this would be the biggest of them all. TNA champion, James Storm was shown watching backstage. Red flew around the ring and played a part in eliminating Monty Brown after spiking Brown with a Satellite DDT before Harris speared Brown and threw him out of the ring before screaming he was the Alpha Male! The countdown clock hit for the last time who would be the last entrant in this year’s Gauntlet for the Gold match… NUMBER 39| JEFF JARRETT JEFF JARRETT!! Jarrett landing on his feet and drawing the number everyone in the match wanted. Jarett’s second appearance in a Gauntlet for the Gold match and is in a great position to earn a shot at TNA championship. 10 men remained in the match (McGuinness, Roode, AJ, Harris, Low Ki, Sabin, Williams, Sting, Red and Jarrett).
Jarrett came in and immediately started laying into AJ Styles before managing to catch Red with his Stroke. Jarrett was in a great position to prove that everything he has claimed is true by winning this match. Sabin and Williams renewed their rivalry a little before Sabin got a measure of revenge on Williams beating him to become the first TNA T.V champion by eliminating Williams. ELIMINATION| DOUG WILLIAMS (CHRIS SABIN) Amazing Red was the next to go after McGuinness caught Red in mid-air with a European Uppercut before tossing Red over the top rope. Nigel McGuinness has impressed everyone tonight. McGuinness has played his part in 5 eliminations tonight so far. ELIMINATION| AMAZING RED (NIGEL McGUINNESS) 8 men left in the match and the standard of talent was all unbelievable all 8 men have the talent to go on and win the match but it was still Sting who looked the strongest and Sting finally put an end to McGuinness’ night after eliminating McGuinness. McGuinness set a new record tonight staying in the match near to 45 minutes, maybe a career making performance from Nigel McGuinness here tonight. ELIMINATION| NIGEL McGUINNESS (STING) Bobby Roode is now the iron man of the match lasting over 30 minutes. 7 men remain (Roode, AJ, Harris, Low Ki, Sabin, Sting and Jarrett). Sting was trying to eliminate Harris while Roode lay exhausted which allowed AJ, Low Ki and Sabin to take Jeff Jarrett apart, Jarrett has been highly critical of the 3 in the past claiming they are not at his level so the crowd loved it when they got Jarrett trapped. Jarrett was made to pay for his past sins after AJ dropped him with his Styles Clash, Low Ki crushed Jarrett’s chest with a Mushroom Stomp and finally Sabin nearly took Jarrett’s head off with a running boot in the corner before AJ tossed Jarrett high over the top rope to the fans great delight. ELIMINATION| JEFF JARRETT (AJ STYLES) Jarrett was out at ringside being checked on by officials, the announcers said Jeff Jarrett just received a reality check. On the other side of the ring Sting was unable to eliminate Harris but did drop Harris with his Scorpion Death lock but surprisingly made a mistake Sting celebrate to close to the ropes with his back towards the ring and Bobby Roode quickly took advantage flipping Sting over the top rope to the floor! Sting has been eliminated! Sting was straight on his feet at ringside in shock but he realised his chance of challenging for the TNA title had gone. James Storm was even shown reacting in shock to Roode eliminating Bobby Roode! Don Callis said maybe tonight is Bobby Roode’s night and we are about to see the ‘Rise of Roode!’ ELIMINATION| STING (BOBBY ROODE) 5 men remained 3 former TNA champions, (AJ Styles, Chris Harris and Low Ki), the current TNA T.V champion, Chris Sabin and Bobby Roode. All five men could taste it and did all they could to advance to the final stage of the Gauntlet. Fans were on the edge of their seats. Heartbreak for Chris Sabin as he was the next eliminated after Harris caught him with his Catatonic before tossing the always impressive Sabin over the top rope to the floor. ELIMINATION| CHRIS SABIN (CHRIS HARRIS) Final four in order of entrance Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Chris Harris and Low Ki but even Low Ki is now coming up to 20 minutes in the match. A number of men have impressed tonight just showing how deep with talent the current TNA roster truly is and tonight’s match didn’t include Christopher Daniels or CM Punk plus a number of tag teams but who would go on to challenge James Storm for the TNA championship next month at TNA Slammiversary…
Bobby Roode had Low Ki over his shoulder and was looking to dump Low Ki out when Low Ki wrapped his legs around Roode’s head and pulled Roode over the top rope Roode was fighting with everything he had left but then AJ caught Roode with a drop kick to the back of the head which sent Roode over the top rope. AJ and Low Ki worked together to eliminate Abyss in similar fashion during the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match. Great performance from Roode who lay exhausted at ringside as well as lasted near 40 minutes Roode managed to eliminate ‘The Icon’ Sting! ELIMINATION| BOBBY ROODE (AJ STYLES) As soon as AJ turned around Chris Harris met AJ with a Spear but instead of dumping AJ, Harris want to hit Low Ki too but as Harris launched himself at Low Ki, Ki jumped and caught Harris with a Mushroom Stomp to the back of the head while Harris was in mid-flight! Harris bounced off the mat, Harris was all over the place which allowed Low Ki to clothesline Harris over the top rope to the floor! It’s come down to AJ Styles V Low Ki and the crowd were going crazy! ELIMINATION| CHRIS HARRIS (LOW KI)
MATCH 5| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH| FINAL STAGE| AJ STYLES V LOW KI| It came down to two former TNA champions, AJ Styles and Low Ki, the two men who headlined the first ever TNA event TNA01 and opened the wrestling worlds eyes to TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. No one has a better win rate in TNA than Low Ki however Low Ki has also never managed to beat AJ Styles. Both men are desperate to once again become the TNA champion the fans were on their feet anticipation knowing that the two previous one on one matches between AJ and Low Ki are among the two best matches in TNA history.
The match didn’t last for long due to how tired both men were but it was still special and the two men gave the crowd a treat. At this stage of the Gauntlet victory comes by way or pin fall, submission/tap out or stoppage. Low Ki hit his Ki-Krusher early but AJ managed to kick out, Ki trapped AJ in a Dragon sleeper but AJ managed to counter into a reverse DDT. Low Ki was connecting with all of his big moves but AJ was staying in the fight. Ki hitting his running drop kick in the corner but missed his top rope Mushroom Stomp. Low Ki seemed fresher and at times AJ was hanging on but AJ caught Low Ki coming of the ropes looking for his Tidal Wave springboard kick but AJ caught Ki and tried to counter into his Styles Clash but Low Ki blocked by trapping AJ in a triangle choke! AJ was fading but quickly lifted Low Ki and ran Low Ki into the top turnbuckle but Low Ki while loosening his grip Low Ki still hung on so AJ repeatedly slammed Low Ki against the top turnbuckle each slam getting more and more of a reaction from the crowd until Low Ki went limp enough for AJ to walk into the middle of the ring and plant Low Ki with his Styles clash which was enough to give AJ Styles the victory! RESULT| AJ STYLES WON THE 2005 GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH – LAST ELIMINATING LOW KI
Fans were on their feet as both AJ Styles and Low Ki lay exhausted, AJ had his hands covering his face. Low Ki has now been the runner-up in both the Gauntlet for the Gold matches he has entered. AJ Styles was slow to his feet as the match official raised his hand in victory.

- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas claimed that tonight’s show would be a packed show as there is a lot to get through coming out of TNA Gauntlet for the Gold and heading into TNA Slammiversary and there are only two episodes of TNA IMPACT to get us there and next week’s show will be a special look at the upcoming TNA title match. Tonight AJ and Storm would be here to sign the contract to make their TNA title match official…

- TIME LIMITS| All TNA IMPACT matches have a 20 minute time limit!
- MATCH 1| TJ PERKINS V CM PUNK| CM Punk was successful over Brian Kendrick at TNA Gauntlet for the Gold in a great match and many are saying that Punk’s in the form of his life. Punk was also shown at GFTG watching the GFTG match which must have been torture for Punk knowing he cannot challenge for the TNA title in 2005. Punk still believes TNA management is against him. Fun quick match, Punk put Perkins away with his Pepsi Plunge. RESULT| CM PUNK BEAT TJ PERKINS VIA PIN FALL
- POST MATCH| TNA T.V champion, Chris Sabin made his way out while Punk was still in the ring everyone including CM Punk was confused. Sabin grabbed a microphone and entered the ring. Sabin said that CM Punk thinks that TNA management is against him but Sabin talked with management earlier in the week and they have all agreed to give Punk a shot at the TNA T.V title at TNA Slammiversary! A sly smile broke out on Punk’s face before Punk pulled the microphone towards him to tell Sabin he has made the biggest mistake of his life. Maybe Sabin has but he said he is willing to gamble the TNA T.V title for the opportunity at the TNA title. Sabin told Punk he would see him at the Pay per View and left as Punk stayed in the ring coming to terms with Sabin’s announcement and probably plotting his next move.
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK!

RAY GORDY| Brothers in Arms one of the greatest tag teams of the last decade just had too much for the rookie team tonight, taking them apart and having fun in the process before Kip pinned Devine following his Famouser. Brothers in Arms want to add the TNA Tag Team titles to their trophy cabinet. RESULT| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES) BEAT 3 HOT BLONDES (JOHNNY DEVINE & RAY GORDY) VIA PIN FALL

- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| STING V BOBBY ROODE!
- MATCH 3| SONJAY DUTT V BOBBY ROODE| Bobby Roode put in a great performance during the Gauntlet for the Gold match lasting over 40 minutes and eliminating the odds on favourite and wrestling legend ‘The Icon’ Sting. Roode took confidence from his performance and looked good tonight. Nice T.V match but it was Roode who scored the victory following his middle rope blockbuster and fisherman suplex. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT SONJAY DUTT VIA PIN FALL
- POST MATCH INTERVIEW| Bobby Roode spoke to Don Callis at ringside afterwards and said everyone saw a glimpse of the future at TNA Gauntlet for the Gold especially when he tossed out the trash (Sting). Roode said that elimination was symbolic because Sting’s run is done and Roode is going to prove that at TNA Slammiversary and everyone will witness the rise of Bobby Roode!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Chris Harris speaking from outside an office earlier in the week said he had just come out of a meeting with TNA management, a meeting Harris had requested. Harris said he may not be the TNA champion and while it’s hard to live with there are still things Harris can do to become the face of TNA wrestling and one of them is by being number 1 in the overall rankings. Harris is currently in 3rd while Low Ki is top, so Harris asked for this meeting to get TNA management to set up the match and they have agreed, Low Ki has been contacted and Low Ki has agreed so now at TNA Slammiversary for the first time ever, two of the best wrestlers in the world both former TNA champions will face off when Harris takes on Low Ki! Harris told Low Ki that his time on top is coming to an end…
- MATCH 4| HERNANDEZ V EDDIE COLON W. NORMAN SMILEY| Fellow Wildcat Wrestling Academy member Shawn Daivari was on commentary. Mike Tenay noted that Low Ki also eliminated Chris Harris from the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Hernandez and Eddie Colon were two of the MVP’s of the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Colon lasted around 30 minutes while Hernandez eliminated 5 men. Hernandez was looking for revenge tonight after Wildcat Wrestling Academy attacked him a few weeks back. Also both men know that if they want one of the ten spots in the TNA Championship Series they have not got many opportunities left to earn one. Good match where Hernandez again showed of his more aggressive streak and it worked for him as Hernandez picked up the win following his Border Toss. Shawn Daivari was quick to cover for Eddie Colon saying the defeat was down to Colon competing for 30 minutes at Gauntlet for the Gold. RESULT| HERNANDEZ BEAT EDDIE COLON VIA PIN FALL
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA GAUNTET FOR THE GOLD| MAIN EVENT| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH| AJ STYLES WON LASTLY ELIMINATING LOW KI!
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V AJ STYLES!
- CONTRACT SIGNING| 2005 Gauntlet for the Gold winner, AJ Styles and then TNA champion, James Storm joined Jeremy Borash in the middle of the ring which was set up for their contract signing both were wearing jeans and their personal tee. Both men signed the contract before addressing one another. Storm told AJ that this wasn’t hyperbole but he honestly regards their TNA title match as the biggest match of his reign as champion. Despite what Chris Harris wants, Storm believes that AJ Styles is regarded as the face of TNA wrestling and has earned that right over the last 3 years and to an extent Storm agrees with that thinking. Storm also gets AJ’s determination to get the TNA title back, AJ was screwed in January 2004. Storm’s issues are this Storm wants to prove that the man holding the TNA title is the face of TNA wrestling and Storm just wants to confirm to any doubting that whoever holds the TNA title is the best in the business today also Storm has an issue when AJ calls the TNA title “his”, “it’s mine” Storm said. Storm knows that if AJ is successful at TNA Slammiversary that everyone will just think that for the last year and a half Harris and himself have just been keeping the TNA title warm for AJ Styles but that is not the case and Storm deserves to be the TNA champion just as much if not more than AJ Styles! Everyone has their own story and this is not the end of the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’s’ story. TNA Slammiversary will be the night that the world over realises that James Storm is for real! Storm was intense. AJ Styles turn, he took a deep breath before telling Storm everything he just said was right but everything Storm mentioned is everything that affects Storm but AJ sees it all a slightly bit different. For a year and a half now AJ has told everyone how he was screwed out of the TNA title to the point where AJ is sick of saying it and everyone else is sick of hearing it, now it’s time to prove that AJ was right and that AJ is the rightful TNA champion. AJ admitted they both have it all on the line and simply at TNA Slammiversary one of them is going to come up short but AJ has promised the fans that in 2005 he will regain his TNA championship and he will do it at TNA Slammiversary! Storm told AJ he cannot let that happen but still offered his hand to AJ and said may the best man win, AJ accepted Storm’s handshake while telling Storm he is not going to get a choice in the matter. TNA IMPACT went off the air as the two men stared intently at one another as Mike Tenay hyped next week’s special taking a further look at the James Storm V AJ Styles match before hyping arguably the biggest TNA championship match off all time set for TNA Slammiversary!

PRE-SHOW| MATCHES TO BE ANNOUNCED! TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas sitting in the studio overlooking the arena which was empty tonight, said tonight’s show would be a little different as tonight they are going to take a special look at the upcoming TNA championship match at TNA Slammiversary which is arguably the biggest TNA championship match in history especially for the competitors in the match both James Storm and AJ Styles have a lot to lose…
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V AJ STYLES!
- Highlights were shown from the Gauntlet for the Gold match a match where 39 entrants this year the biggest GFTG match in TNA history competed for the right to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Slammiversary. AJ Styles entered at number 24 and for the second consecutive year that was the winning number as AJ went on to eliminate 4 other men including beating old rival and former TNA champion, Low Ki in the final stage of the Gauntlet. AJ was overcome with emotion afterwards…
- STORM/AJ| AJ Styles was shown arriving backstage after winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match and after being congratulated on his victory by TNA personnel and friends. AJ quickly spoke with reporters to tell them that he was delighted to finally have earned his fair shot at regaining his TNA title and next month at TNA Slammiversary he will keep his promise to all of his fans and will once again become the TNA champion.
- STORM/AJ| Reporters caught TNA champion, James Storm leaving the arena after watching AJ become the top contender to his TNA title. Storm congratulated AJ on his victory before telling the reporter than he knew this day would come. Storm told AJ he would see him at TNA Slammiversary.
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas took time out to announce a number of new matches announced for TNA Slammiversary including the in-ring debut of Samoa Joe who will take on Ron Killings plus Abyss looks to overcome the final member of Heroes for Villains when he faces Chris Hero plus a battle of two of the best TNA has to offer, two men who are looking to get back into the TNA title picture when Jeff Hardy faces the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels! TNA Slammiversary celebrating 3 years of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the year!
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| JEFF HARDY V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO!
- SUNDAY 19TH JUNE 2005| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| RON KILLINGS V SAMOA JOE!
- STORM/AJ| James Storm sitting in T.V studio earlier in the week said he genuinely believes his match against AJ Styles is his biggest TNA title defence to date. Storm didn’t want to disrespect Jeff Hardy, Chris Harris or Christopher Daniels because they were without question big and tough challenges but Storm believes his whole title reign will be based on the outcome of this match. AJ Styles is the face of TNA wrestling and while Storm is the TNA champion and hugely popular in his own right there are many people out there counting down the days until AJ Styles once again becomes the TNA champion. Storm told them to keep counting. Storm is not keeping the TNA title warm for any man. ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ has earned the right to be TNA champion and despite what AJ says the TNA title is “his” and it is going to stay that way before telling AJ he was sorry about your damn luck!
- STORM/AJ| AJ Styles sitting the same T.V studio earlier in the week said that everyone knows his story by now back in January last year AJ Styles lost the TNA title to Chris Harris after CM Punk got involved in their match (footage was shown as AJ spoke). Since then AJ has challenged for the TNA title on one occasion in a match that went to a time limit draw, a match which is now infamous for Chris Harris’ negative tactics, also AJ has had his chances to earn the right to face the TNA champion specifically the TNA Championship Series but AJ just fell short. AJ accepts all of that but AJ has never gave up his guest to regain the TNA title and AJ holds victories in that time over CM Punk (Steel Cage), Jeff Hardy and Low Ki and Christopher Daniels (again footage was shown of all matches as AJ spoke). AJ even beat James Storm during the TCS. AJ is not discredited Storm and agrees that Storm deserves to be TNA champion but AJ cannot accept any man as TNA champion until they have gone through him and Storm has not done that yet and James Storm will not do that at TNA Slammiversary because at TNA Slammiversary just like AJ has promised all of his fans, AJ Styles will not fail – AJ Styles will regain his TNA championship! AJ told Storm that everything he has said for the last year plus and after promising his fans there is no way AJ Styles is not leaving TNA Slammiversary as the TNA champion, AJ finished by calling the match the biggest match of his career.
- STUDIO| Borash & Douglas once again breaking up the James Storm – AJ Styles hype announced that an hour before TNA Slammiversary live on TNA.com there would be a one hour pre-show, TNA management are currently confirming the matches that would take place but we would hear from the returning Monty Brown!
- STORM/AJ| Footage was shown from the last weeks contract signing between James Storm and AJ Styles before exclusive footage was shown from backstage later in the night where Storm and Styles again exchanged words about AJ calling the TNA title “his”, they almost got into a shoving fight until TNA officials got in between both men.
- HIGHLIGHTS| 30.06.04| TNA102| AJ STYLES BEAT JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL| Just under a year ago at TNA102 it was the first match of the TNA Championship Series for both men, AJ Styles would beat James Storm following his Styles Clash. However it was James Storm who would go on to win the TNA Championship Series and ultimately the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory.
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas discussed the 2005 TNA Championship Series and announced that the 10 men entered into the TCS would be revealed at TNA Slammiversary along with more details on this year’s Series’ before revealing that once again the winner would challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory later in the year. Borash noted it was the last opportunity for people to be entered into the Series at TNA Slammiversary!
- VIDEO| TNA IMPACT went off the air with a video package hyping the TNA championship match between TNA champion, James Storm and former TNA champion and 2005 Gauntlet for the Gold winner, AJ Styles for TNA Slammiversary. Gauntlet for the Gold winner has always gone on to win the TNA title and AJ holds a previous victory over Storm. However both men believe it is the biggest match of their respective careers for different reasons, both have it all on their line and both men refuse to fail who will come out of TNA Slammiversary as the TNA champion!

LIVE ON FOX SPORTS – EPISODE #053
NEXT PAY PER VIEW|SUNDAY 17TH JULY, 2005 TNA TURNING POINT
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports opened with still images from TNA Slammiversary live on Pay per View last Sunday. A great night of action to celebrate the 3rd year anniversary of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Headlined by GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) retaining their TNA Tag Team titles against Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) in a classic Ladder match and TNA champion, James Storm successfully retained his TNA title after beating AJ Styles in the Main Event…
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in studio welcomed everyone to TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports, they quickly recapped TNA Slammiversary where CM Punk became the new TNA T.V champion also at the end of the show the 10 entrants in the TNA Championship Series were announced but Borash then revealed that since Sunday there have been changes but Borash would not go into detail now as he would let the man making his way to ringside share the changes….
- ANNOUNCEMENT| ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm the TNA champion was making his way to ringside to a loud ovation fresh of retaining “his” TNA title at TNA Slammiversary against AJ Styles in a great match after nailing AJ with 3 Super kicks. Storm wearing jeans, t shirt and baseball cap grabbed a microphone before entering the ring. Storm began by sharing his respect for AJ Styles telling AJ it was an honour to defend the TNA title against him and Storm looks forward to facing AJ again down the road because without question AJ will come again. Storm has told everyone how he does not want to be a champion who just sits at home waiting for an opponent to be announced and one of the reasons for this is because after Chris Harris reign as TNA champion and how every reign is picked apart by experts and critics, Storm does not want any questions, doubts or black clouds hovering over his reign as TNA champion. Face the best, beat the best but Storm said after beating AJ the 10 entrants in the TNA Championship Series were announced and Storm felt like one man didn’t need to go through the process and that one man is Low Ki!
Without question Low Ki deserves a TNA title shot, Low Ki has the highest overall win rate, he had the highest win rate of the last year and has only been pinned by 2 different men and while Low Ki may have gone on to win the series and face Storm at TNA Bound for Glory in October, Storm wasn’t willing to sit and wait so Storm spoke with TNA management and it has been agreed that at TNA Sacrifice in August, Storm would face Low Ki for the TNA championship and the winner would head into TNA Bound for Glory as the defending TNA champion! Huge news, a dream match which the crowd popped big for! As for the TNA Championship Series which begins next week Storm revealed TNA management couldn’t decide on who would get the last spot so tonight there would be a 25 man Battle Royal where the winner would be the final entrant in the 2005 TNA Championship Series! Storm finished up by wishing every luck but told them come TNA Bound for Glory in October, the deer hunting, beer drinking, ass kicking ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ would be retaining his TNA championship!
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas reacted and confirmed the announcements made by TNA champion, James Storm. At TNA Sacrifice in August, Storm would defend the TNA title against Low Ki and later tonight there would be a 25 man Battle Royal where the winner would be the final entrant in the 2005 TNA Championship Series which starts next week!
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- TONIGHT| 25 MAN BATTLE ROYAL – WINNER WILL BECOME THE FINAL ENTRANT IN THE 2005 TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES!
- TIME LIMITS| All TNA IMPACT matches have a 20 minute time limit (*tonight’s battle royal has no time limit)
- MATCH 1| INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) V 3 HOT BLONDES (JOHNNY DEVINE & SILAS YOUNG) W. RAY GORDY| A fun, quick fast paced opening match between two relatively new teams here in TNA who will be looking to climb the rankings in TNA Year 4 and potentially compete for the TNA Tag Team titles. Perkins pinned Devine following a frog splash. Now the rivalry between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity is complete TNA management need new top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. RESULT| INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) BEAT 3 HOT BLONDES (JOHNNY DEVINE & SILAS YOUNG)
- HIGHLGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| LADDER MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) TO RETAIN THE TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas said the Ladder match between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity is among the best matches in TNA history. Borash noted that TNA management have given both teams the month of to recover but over the next couple of weeks we would hear from both teams starting next week with the TNA Tag Team champions, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong.
- TNA NEWS| Following the finish to their match last Sunday at TNA Slammiversary – TNA management has announced the following match for TNA Turning Point…
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO!
- UPDATE| After suffering 3 Super kicks from James Storm at TNA Slammiversary, former AJ Styles was knocked out and was helped from the arena. In an update on AJ’s condition, AJ was checked on by TNA doctors backstage before being treated at a nearby hospital. The early word is that luckily AJ did not suffer any serious injuries and we should be seeing AJ Styles back in the near future.
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| CM PUNK BEAT © CHRIS SABIN TO BECOME THE NEW TNA T.V CHAMPION…
- INTERVIEW| New TNA T.V champion, CM Punk came out dressed in shorts and a zip up jacket with his newly won TNA title around his waist. Punk entered the ring with a microphone as Mike Tenay noted that Punk requested this time tonight to make his victory speech. Punk started off by clearing up that if he was eligible Punk would have comfortably qualified to enter the 2005 TNA Championship Series but luckily that does not matter anymore because Punk is the new TNA T.V champion which has automatically become the most prestigious title in all of wrestling now. Punk asked the crowd to compare the champions, compare him to James Storm before reminding everyone that he was the last man to beat James Storm! Punk gloated saying he knew TNA management would slip up eventually and now they have but before Punk could go on any further Punk was interrupted by the TNA champion, James Storm…
Storm came out to a loud reaction and confront Punk in the middle of the ring the two champions’ eye ball to eye ball with neither backing down. Punk smirked at Storm before telling Storm he was his “black cloud” before laughing in Storm’s face. Punk told Storm there was nothing Storm could do about it either and was about to leave the ring while telling Storm he has to take a backseat to him now when Storm called Punk back in the ring. Storm understands that Punk cannot challenge for the TNA title in 2005 but there is nothing stopping them from fighting in a Non-title match! Champion versus Champion! Punk still laughing asked Storm if he knew what he was getting himself into. Storm would risk it all because all that matters is that when all is said and done he can look back over his reign with as TNA champion with pride! Punk agreed to face Storm and vowed to beat the TNA champion in the middle of the ring before reminding Storm that it is his mission in life to go down as the greatest professional wrestler of all time and this is CM Punk’s world and James Storm is just living in it!
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas couldn’t believe what they had just seen the TNA champion, James Storm and the new TNA T.V champion, CM Punk have just agreed to face one another in a champion versus champion match! What a week for CM Punk his fortunes have completely turned around and now at some point in the near future Punk will face the TNA champion. Shortly we would see the 25 man Battle Royal to determine the final entrant in the 2005 TNA Championship Series but before that Borash introduced a quick recorded interview with former TNA Tag Team champion, Monty Brown!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Last week the former leader of Alpha Male Enterprise, Monty Brown spoke with Mike Tenay regarding his return to TNA. Brown cleared up that he never left TNA but was tempted due to the fact that he had created an enterprise a brand and to do that Brown had to do some horrible things including betraying his former partner Elix Skipper. Brown said watching that crumble was hard as was coming to terms with the fact that he would then have to deal with the consequences and Brown was willing at one point to run away like a coward. Last year Brown lost everything his friends, family, the TNA Tag Team titles and the AME brand and respect but the truth is Monty Brown is not a coward, Monty Brown does not run away and Monty Brown is returning to TNA. Brown will not apologise for his previous actions and in time Brown’s sins may come back to haunt him Brown has to move on and while the Alpha Male Enterprise is dead, the ‘Alpha Male’ Monty Brown is not!
- MATCH 2| 25 MAN BATTLE ROYAL| ALEX SHELLEY V AMAZING RED V BRENT ALBRIGHT V BG JAMES V BRIAN KENDRICK V CLIFF COMPTON V CHRISTIAN YORK V DUSTIN RHODES V EDDIE COLON V ERIC YOUNG V FRANKIE KAZARIAN V JAY BRISCOE V JOEY MATTHEWS V JOHNNY CURTIS V KEN PHOENIX V KIP JAMES V LANCE ARCHER V MARK BRISCOE V MICHAEL SHANE V PETEY WILLIAMS V ROBBIE ECJOS V RON KILLINGS V RYAN O’REILLY V SAMOA JOE V SHAWN DAIVARI| Every man for themselves all vying for the final spot in the 2005 TNA Championship Series. TNA champion, James Storm was watching backstage. Phoenix was the first to go thanks to Ron Killings but then it was new TNA signing Samoa Joe who dominated the early portion of the match eliminating 3 men early. New Millennium worked together to eliminate Kip James while Lance Archer came into his own and impressed eliminating a number of men. Final 6 men were Alex Shelley who won a Battle Royal at TNA Bound for Glory, Amazing Red, Brian Kendrick, Eddie Colon, Lance Archer and Samoa Joe. After Colon dumped Red, Joe took over again quickly and in dominating fashion eliminating Colon and Shelley while a beat up Kendrick surprised many by eliminating the dominant Lance Archer bringing it down to Joe and Kendrick. Kendrick gave it his all but he was no match for Joe who just dominated Kendrick before smashing Kendrick with his Muscle Buster before easily tossing Kendrick over the top rope to the floor!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports opened in the studio with Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas welcomed everyone to TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports and the start of the 2005 TNA Championship Series.
- VIDEO| Looking at the ten entrants in the 2005 TNA Championship Series; Samoa Joe, Hernandez, Bobby Roode, Doug Williams, Nigel McGuinness, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Sabin, Jeff Hardy, Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels. One of these men will go on to TNA Bound for Glory in October to challenge for the TNA championship!
- TONIGHT| Hernandez V Samoa Joe – Bobby Roode V Nigel McGuinness – Jeff Hardy V Jeff Jarrett – Doug Williams V Chris Harris – Chris Sabin V Christopher Daniels!
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas announced that the entire 2005 TNA Championship Series schedule is up at TNA.com, Douglas called the series the most mentally and physically exhausting series in wrestling with the finals being held on TNA IMPACT at the end of August! Borash revealed that every week that week’s 5 matches will be taped and shown in extended highlighted version form every Friday. The ultimate reward of being in the 2005 TNA Championship Series is earning a shot at the TNA title in October but also another reason why everyone wants to be in the series is if you are not it limits the number of appearances and amount of money you make for almost two years. Also if successful it puts you in the driving seat to be entered in the following year’s series as entry is based on win rate but if you are unsuccessful it makes qualifying for the following years series even more difficult.
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RULES| 10 Points for a victory – 5 Points for a Time limit draw – 2 Points for a No Contest, Double Count out – 0 Points for a loss - -10 Points for a loss via disqualification and or outside interference (minus)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TIME LIMITS| All TNA Championship Series matches have a 20 minute time limit
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Hernandez said last year he surprised a few people, opened some eyes and over the last few weeks since Gauntlet for the Gold, Hernandez has re-found his form and tonight he is going to run straight through Samoa Joe pick up 10 points and then at TNA Bound for Glory, ‘Mexican Muscle’ is going to become the new TNA champion. Samoa Joe refused to make any pre match comments.
- MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V SAMOA JOE| Hernandez has the 9th highest average win rate that alongside his performance in last year’s TCS and his recent return to form gained Hernandez entry into this year’s TNA Championship Series while Joe capitalised on Low Ki being named the top contender to the TNA Championship last week by winning a 25 man Battle Royal in what was only Joe’s second match here in TNA. Two big men going at it in a short but hard hitting match, Hernandez controlled the first minute but then Joe came back into the match and completely took control of Hernandez shocking everyone with his performance before actually making ‘Mexican Muscle’ tap to a rear naked choke. RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA TAP OUT (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- STUDIO| Shane Douglas said Samoa Joe showing that his first two victories were no fluke. Joe shows no emotions and is all business. Borash & Douglas had never seen Hernandez taken apart like that before, strong early impression from Samoa Joe!
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Nigel McGuinness a year or so ago kicked the door open here in TNA and demanded an opportunity, now McGuinness is 10 victories away from challenging for the TNA championship at the biggest event of the year. Bobby Roode is within touching distance of making all of his hopes and dreams come true, Roode’s never wanted anything more than to be the TNA champion and as everyone knows Bobby Roode always gets what he wants in the end!
- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| BOBBY ROODE V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Both men had strong years last year both breaking into the final top 10, while McGuinness is also in the top 10 of the overall win rates. Both are regarded as outsiders to win this year’s TNA Championship Series but both have the potential to go on and become the TNA champion in future. Fans don’t like either man but they had a good match and it was Bobby Roode who picked up the 10 points after avoiding McGuinness Jawbreaker lariat and quickly rolling McGuinness up for the 3 count. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT NIGEL McGUINNESS VIA PIN FALL (BOBBY ROODE: 10 POINTS)
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| LADDER MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) TO RETAIN TNA TAG TEAM TITLES
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| TNA Tag Team champions, GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) from a T.V studio spoke with Mike Tenay with Austin Aries telling Tenay that when Aries and Strong came together they knew that everything they have achieved now was possible because they decided going into this that if they went in with a positive mental attitude anything was possible and if they believed they were greatness and they acted like they were greatness they would become GREATNESS and now they sit in front of the world as the greatest tag team in the world and the TNA Tag Team champions. Roderick Strong thanked Zero Gravity for bringing out the best in them but admitted that they are happy that they don’t have to face Zero Gravity ever again. Strong said from here they are looking for the rest of the TNA Tag Team division to step up but also they wouldn’t mind testing themselves against one of the best teams from the last decade Brothers in Arms (BG & Kip James) but admitted that they would speak to TNA management before anything is decided upon.
- NEXT WEEK| Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London)!
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Jeff Hardy since debuting last year has heard everyone claim that they are the rightful top contender to the TNA title, Hardy said over the next couple of months the 10 most deserving have an opportunity they are the rightful top contender. Hardy could taste the TNA title earlier in the year and Hardy is willing to risk his career to make sure that at TNA Bound for Glory he is challenging for the TNA title. Jeff Jarrett has got sick and tired of telling everyone he’s the biggest star in TNA and now Jarrett is out to prove it, Jarrett will beat Hardy tonight and will go on to become the TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory. Jarrett will not hold back on telling everyone he told you so afterwards either…
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY V JEFF JARRETT| Two men who have a realistic chance of winning the 2005 TNA Championship Series with Hardy probably being the fans choice. Jeff Jarrett finally speaking with actions rather than words by agreeing to enter the TCS this year. Good wrestling match. Hardy got the win following his Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb combination. The announcers believe that Hardy will be there or thereabouts come the end of the TNA Championship Series. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL (JEFF HARDY: 10 POINTS)
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Doug Williams last year was all over the place at this point he was just coming back from injury, he was in both the 2004 TCS and in the tournament where he became the first ever TNA T.V champion but this year Williams is fully focused on not only winning the 2005 TNA Championship Series but becoming the first ever British TNA champion. Chris Harris is looking forward to the TNA Championship Series beginning because Harris is going to use this series to prove that he is the best, remove any doubts and once Harris is victorious here and becomes the TNA champion once again at TNA Bound for Glory everyone will be forced to recognise him as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRIS HARRIS| First ever meeting between the former TNA T.V champion and former TNA champion. Tough match for both men to kick off their TNA Championship Series. Both men scored near falls and it seemed like the match was going to go to the first time limit draw of the series but Harris managed to rebound from his loss to Low Ki by catching Williams with his Spear before spinning Williams following his Catatonic. TNA Bound for Glory could we see a rematch from last year with Chris Harris facing James Storm for the TNA championship! RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- NEXT WEEK| Hernandez V Bobby Roode – Doug Williams V Samoa Joe – Jeff Hardy V Nigel McGuinness – Jeff Jarrett V Christopher Daniels – Chris Sabin V Chris Harris
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Chris Sabin believes the only benefit of losing the TNA T.V title is that now he can concentrate on the TNA Championship Series. Sabin has rose up the rankings here in TNA over the last couple of years and now Sabin who used to dream for moments like this as a boy is going to grab this opportunity to headline TNA Bound for Glory and challenge for the TNA championship. Before Christopher Daniels gets stuck into the TNA Championship Series tonight Daniels has some personal business to take care off and a point to make and that point is never disrespect the ‘Fallen Angel’. Sabin holds a forfeit victory over Daniels from when Daniels was on strike and afterwards claimed that Daniels had no balls, tonight Daniels is going to beat some respect into Sabin and make Chris Sabin his bitch and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Another match pitting a former TNA T.V champion against a former TNA champion. Daniels has beaten Sabin twice previously while Sabin holds a forfeit victory over Daniels. Daniels was true to his word and was as aggressive as we had ever seen him early but Sabin was matching Daniels until Daniels sent Sabin face first into the ring post and Sabin came up a bloody mess. Daniels from there took Sabin apart and enjoyed doing it as Sabin became weaker and weaker due to the blood loss. At one point Daniels kneeled over Sabin and while hitting Sabin with right hands Daniels was yelling at Sabin never to disrespect him again. Daniels came close to being disqualified at times. Daniels finished Sabin of following his Last Rites and Angels Wings. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Hernandez 0 Points – 7th| Doug Williams 0 Points – 6th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 5th| Samoa Joe 10 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 10 Points – 3rd| Christopher Daniels 10 Points – 2nd| Chris Harris 10 Points – 1st| Bobby Roode 10 Points.
- CLOSE| Chris Sabin was helped from ringside by TNA doctors and was still a bloody mess the announcers wondered whether Sabin’s entire Series was over as Christopher Daniels watched from his knees in the ring still bad mouthing Sabin before motioning for the TNA title. Christopher Daniels sent the loudest message tonight that if anyone wants to win the 2005 TNA Championship Series they will have to go through him. TNA IMPACT went off the air as Daniels was down on his knees, arms spread out wide soaking up the adrenaline.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports opened with highlights from last week’s TNA IMPACT and the start of the 2005 TNA Championship Series, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels all scored 10 points in their first matches. Who will go on to TNA Bound for Glory in October and challenge for the TNA championship!
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone watching TNA IMPACT, Borash was joined by Shane Douglas. Later tonight we would see extended highlights of all the second round of matches from the TNA Championship Series but also tonight ‘The Monster’ Abyss would be in action when he takes on Eric Young plus we would hear from former TNA Tag Team champions, Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) plus so much more including taking a look back at the previous meeting between TNA champion, James Storm and TNA T.V champion, CM Punk.
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO WENT TO A NO CONTEST| Jim Mitchell was in the corner of Chris Hero and Abyss could not focus, Abyss just wants answers as to why Mitchell turned his back on him and it led to the match official losing control of the match and having no choice but to call the match off…
- MATCH 1| ABYSS V ERIC YOUNG| Mike Tenay and Don Callis at the announce booth as always, they discussed early on that TNA management offered Abyss a spot in the TNA Championship Series but Abyss is not used to making decisions for himself didn’t want to deal with management and just wanted answers from Jim Mitchell. Eric Young the hired gun of Bobby Roode was looking to become only the 3rd man to beat Abyss but despite giving it a good shot, Abyss put Young away following his Black Hole slam. Next week on TNA IMPACT we would hear from Chris Hero heading into their Falls Count Anywhere match at TNA Turning Point. RESULT| ABYSS BEAT ERIC YOUNG
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| LADDER MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) TO RETAIN TNA TAG TEAM TITLES
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) joined us from a T.V studio. Matt Sydal spoke first saying that they appreciate the support and the messages from the fans and the praise the match is getting from everyone it seems but the reality is now the smoke has cleared, the dust has settled they are hurting not just physically because now the realisation has hit that as long as GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) are TNA Tag Team champions they cannot challenge for the TNA Tag Team titles. London took over saying everyone at times over the last few months have questioned their desire but now everyone can see how much being the TNA Tag Team champions means to them, saying they are distraught but they now need to go away and think about what the future holds for Zero Gravity.
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks spoke with TNA Reporter, Don West. Kazarian or anyone else cannot pretend that Zero Gravity and GREATNESS have overshadowed the entire TNA Tag Team division this last year and while their matches have been great it’s time for a change and Brothers in Arms a couple of old men desperate to be cool are not the answer, the Briscoe Brothers are not the answer the answer is staring the world in the face. Michael Shane said if it was not for GREATNESS and Zero Gravity being on a different level, New Millennium would have been TNA Tag Team champions a long time ago but now they are sick of sitting on the side lines and they want their shot at the TNA Tag Team titles.
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK!
- HIGHLIGHTS| 14.07.04| TNA104| CM PUNK BEAT JAMES STORM| Almost a year to the date they meet at TNA Turning Point during the 2004 TNA Championship Series, CM Punk beat James Storm in the middle of the ring following an Even flow DDT on the ring apron which knocked Storm out cold. James Storm has not lost a match since losing to Punk on this night. At TNA Turning Point they meet again but this time both men are coming in as champions for the first time ever we would see a champion versus champion match here in TNA.
- NEXT WEEK| We would hear from both TNA T.V champion, CM Punk and TNA champion, James Storm!
- TONIGHT| Hernandez V Bobby Roode – Doug Williams V Samoa Joe – Jeff Hardy V Nigel McGuinness – Jeff Jarrett V Christopher Daniels – Chris Sabin V Chris Harris
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Hernandez 0 Points – 7th| Doug Williams 0 Points – 6th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 5th| Samoa Joe 10 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 10 Points – 3rd| Christopher Daniels 10 Points – 2nd| Chris Harris 10 Points – 1st| Bobby Roode 10 Points.
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RULES| 10 Points for a victory – 5 Points for a Time limit draw – 2 Points for a No Contest, Double Count out – 0 Points for a loss - -10 Points for a loss via disqualification and or outside interference (minus)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TIME LIMITS| All TNA Championship Series matches have a 20 minute time limit
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas were hyping the upcoming TNA Championship Series matches when an angry Coach D’Amore stormed in, upset with the fact that Petey Williams had been overlooked for the TNA Championship Series. Laughable claiming at one point is was because Williams’ was Canadian. D’Amore was outraged and said TNA management need to treat their brightest star with more respect!
- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V BOBBY ROODE| Roode beat Nigel McGuinness last week while Hernandez was surprisingly taken apart by Samoa Joe. Hernandez failed to rebound tonight he and Roode had a decent match before Roode caught Hernandez with his Fisherman suplex for the victory. Maybe we are finally witnessing the ‘Rise of Roode’. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (BOBBY ROODE: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V SAMOA JOE| Doug Williams’ hopes of becoming the first British TNA champion took another hit tonight as Joe impressed again. Joe mauled Williams, Joe’s style is more of a MMA fighter than a professional wrestler and the finish come when Joe was on top of Williams firing away with elbows when Williams tried to roll away only for Joe to trap Williams in his rear naked choke and Williams unbelievably tapped out! Samoa Joe is a beast! RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT DOUG WILILAMS VIA TAP OUT (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY V NIGEL McGUINNESS| McGuinness gave Hardy a tough fight during the final stage of the Xmas bonus tournament before Hardy came out the winner. McGuinness and Roode’s match last week could have went either way. Hardy beat Jeff Jarrett last week and followed that up with a hard fought victory tonight over McGuinness after connecting with his Swanton Bomb. Hardy has responded well to tapping out to Christopher Daniels at TNA Slammiversary with 2 victories but next week Hardy faces Christopher Daniels again! RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT NIGEL McGUINNESS VIA PIN FALL (JEFF HARDY: 10 POINTS)
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Christopher Daniels who didn’t acknowledge his beat down of Chris Sabin last week actually said that he respects Jeff Jarrett in a way but also owes Jarrett a beating because Jarrett claims to be the measuring stick when everyone knows Christopher Daniels has and always will be the measuring stick here in TNA wrestling and tonight Jarrett will learn once and for all that his time at the top is over.
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF JARRETT V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| First time ever meeting between these two, Mike Tenay noted how in the early days of TNA, TNA management tried to get this match signed but Jarrett kept refusing. Jarrett desperate to prove himself against Daniels put in as much effort as the TNA audience may have ever seen from him and surprisingly at times the crowd was behind Jarrett but in the end Daniels put Jarrett away following his Angels Wings. Christopher Daniels has never lost a TNA Championship Series round robin match and Daniels was in last year’s Series too. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- NEXT WEEK| Doug Williams V Jeff Jarrett – Chris Sabin V Hernandez – Nigel McGuinness V Samoa Joe – Bobby Roode V Chris Harris – Jeff Hardy V Christopher Daniels!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT CHRIS SABIN| Sabin was a left a bloody mess by Daniels and had to be helped out of the arena all because Sabin disrespected Daniels earlier in the year while Daniels was on strike…
- MATCH 6| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V CHRIS HARRIS| Sabin was out with his head bandaged. Another case of former TNA T.V champion facing a former TNA champion. Sabin challenged Harris for the TNA title early last year in a great match which was the making of Sabin in many people’s eyes. Like that night Harris picked up the victory capitalising on Sabin’s weakened state before pinning a game Sabin after his Catatonic. Chris Sabin’s series may already be over thanks to Christopher Daniels. Chris Harris is still on target to challenge for the TNA title at TNA Bound for Glory and in Harris’ mind only become the face of TNA wrestling. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Hernandez 0 Points – 7th| Doug Williams 0 Points – 6th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 5th| Samoa Joe 20 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 20 Points – 3rd| Christopher Daniels 20 Points – 2nd| Chris Harris 20 Points – 1st| Bobby Roode 20 Points.
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas reflected on tonight’s results saying that there was no change to the standings other than the top 5 opening a big gap over themselves and the bottom and already the bottom 5 have it all to do. Next week points will be taken off one another as the TNA Championship Series continues headlined by Jeff Hardy taking on Christopher Daniels!

- MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERES| CHRIS SABIN (0 POINTS) V HERNANDEZ (0 POINTS)| Tenay mentioned how there was a strong rumour going around in the week that Chris Sabin was talking about withdrawing from the TNA Championship Series. Callis reminded everyone how Sabin was humbled, put in his place and had respect beaten into him by Christopher Daniels two weeks ago. Both men looking for their first victory of the Series. Hernandez came into the Series in top form but that form hasn’t been enough but tonight Hernandez was able to toss around the not 100% former TNA T.V champion before beating Sabin following his Border Toss. It appears Sabin Series is over before it ever really began thanks in large to Christopher Daniels. RESULT| HERNANDEZ BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (HERNANDEZ: 10 POINTS)
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| AJ STYLES RETURNS!

- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS (0 POINTS) V JEFF JARRETT (0 POINTS)| Good wrestling match between two men who would be expecting to be doing better in the TNA Championship Series. Williams was the first ever TNA T.V champion and former British champion while Jarrett is a former multi times World champion who still believes he is the biggest star in TNA. Jarrett is giving everything to prove that the business has not passed him by he even countered Williams’ Chaos Theory and Tombstone pile driver before running into a high knee which rocked Jarrett and Williams’ quickly capitalised pinning Jarrett with a Northern lights suplex. Doug Williams finally with a win under his belt can take heart in the fact that last year’s winner James Storm also got off to a slow start. Jarrett looked down after the bell but is surprisingly earning the crowd’s respect with his effort, not that Jarrett cares about the fans. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL (DOUG WILLIAMS: 10 POINTS)
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Chris Hero sitting in an empty dark locker room has heard people say that Hero was intimidated or even scared of Abyss at TNA Slammiversary. Hero started laughing like a maniac before reminding everyone that no man intimidates him he’s the intimidator and this Sunday like Hero did to Raven, Chris Hero like asked by Jim Mitchell is going to put Abyss down once and for all! Hero told Abyss not to worry about Jim Mitchell because he won’t be in attendance so they can go to war before Chris Hero shows the world that he is the true monster, Hero finished up by telling Abyss not to be afraid of the dark!
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| NIGEL McGUINNESS (0 POINTS) V SAMOA JOE (20 POINTS)| Out of everyone who has 0 points so far Nigel McGuinness may be the unluckiest, McGuinness gave a good showing of himself against both Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy last week. Samoa Joe on the other hand has everyone’s attention after two impressive performances. McGuinness again brought the fight to his opponent and wasn’t intimidated in fighting Joe which caught Joe off guard but Joe adapted and started picking McGuinness apart before dropping McGuinness on his head with a Muscle Buster for the victory. Samoa Joe still has a 100% record and now heads into TNA Turning Point live on Pay per View for the biggest challenge of his TNA career when he takes on former TNA champion, Chris Harris. RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT NIGEL McGUINNESS VIA PIN FALL (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)

- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| BOBBY ROODE (20 POINTS) V CHRIS HARRIS (20 POINTS)| Mike Tenay noted how Norman Smiley has been placed fully in charge of the Wildcat Wrestling Academy while Harris competes in the TNA Championship Series. Former TNA T.V champion taking on a former TNA champion. Crowd didn’t like either man. Roode maybe the surprise of the Series so far while Chris Harris is desperate to regain the TNA title and to be accepted as the face of TNA wrestling. Harris kept ended Roode’s 100% record and continued his own after catching Roode with a Spear. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- POST MATCH| Chris Harris grabbed a microphone at ringside after the bell and said no man would stop him from becoming the face of professional wrestling!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SLAMMIVERSARY| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JEFF HARDY VIA TAP OUT…
- PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW| Jeff Hardy admitted that he was taken by surprise just how good Christopher Daniels was at TNA Slammiversary admitting that Daniels is up there with the best Hardy has ever faced but this time the element of surprise is gone plus Daniels is standing in his way of becoming the TNA champion so Hardy will do whatever it takes to beat Daniels and move a step closer to the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory…
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY (20 POINTS) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (20 POINTS)| 2 of the favourites to go on and win the TNA Championship Series and challenge for the TNA title at TNA Bound for Glory. Daniels has upped his game since returning in May to an all new level after a disappointing TNA Year. Tenay wouldn’t be surprised if these two men met again in the finals. Another really good match, both men hitting big moves and scoring near falls both desperate not to drop points to a strong rival/threat. Hardy missed his Swanton Bomb and landed hard but later countered Daniels’ Angels Wings but eventually got caught once again in Daniels Koji clutch and again Hardy had no choice to tap out! Christopher Daniels has made Jeff Hardy tap out again! Christopher Daniels has reminded everyone over the last 3 weeks just how good the ‘Fallen Angel’ really is. Hardy was shocked afterwards and upset with getting caught for a second time by Daniels. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JEFF HARDY VIA TAP OUT (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 7th| Hernandez 10 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 10 Points – 5th| Jeff Hardy 20 Points – 4th| Bobby Roode 20 Points – 3rd| Samoa Joe 30 Points – 2nd| Christopher Daniels 30 Points – 1st| Chris Harris 30 Points.
- SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005| TNA TURNING POINT| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK!
- INTERVIEW| Jeremy Borash conducted an interview with TNA champion, James Storm and TNA T.V champion, CM Punk live from the studio with both champions both joining the interview via satellite from different locations. CM Punk started off by saying he still can’t believe TNA management has signed off on this match, saying they must have full confidence in James Storm but the reality is this Sunday live on Pay per View, CM Punk is going to beat the TNA champion in the middle of the ring in front of the world. Storm laughed at Punk’s comments before jokingly asking Punk if he’s sure if he doesn’t drink before telling the ‘Straight Edge’ Punk that on Sunday Storm is going to enjoy shutting Punk’s mouth once and for all. Punk snapped back at Storm telling Storm he was better than Storm in every single way and just by the fact Punk holds the TNA T.V title that makes that title more prestigious than the TNA title. Punk shouted at Storm that he was Storm’s “Black cloud” and after this Sunday Storm is going to have to come to terms with the fact that CM Punk is the man now and the TNA T.V title is THE title, Storm losing will have a negative effect on the entire company, maybe to the point where TNA management will have no choice but to give him the TNA title and Punk loves the irony of that. Storm interrupted Punk again and told Punk that Punk is losing his mind and after TNA Turning Point, Punk will have to sit and watch as Storm faces a deserving challenger in Low Ki at TNA Sacrifice before defending the TNA title at TNA Bound for Glory later in the year as reality will hit CM Punk that this is not CM Punk’s world and CM Punk’s mission in life is not to go down in history as the greatest professional wrestler off all time. Punk didn’t like Storm’s last words and stood up saying this interview was over but told Storm this Sunday everyone will wake up. Storm finished by telling Punk is always looking for excuses and hasn’t got the stomach for a fight and can’t win the big one! Punk stared back at the camera for a few seconds after hearing Storm’s words before walking off. Storm told Jeremy Borash that at TNA Turning Point he will beat CM Punk. Jeremy Borash then revealed to Storm that Low Ki would be at ringside to watch Storm’s match. Storm told Borash he would see Low Ki this Sunday as TNA IMPACT went off the air.

PRE SHOW LIVE ON TNA.COM………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas sitting in the studio welcomed everyone to the TNA Turning Point pre-show live on TNA.com the arena behind Borash & Douglas was starting to fill up with fans as they discussed tonight’s Pay per View which would see the continuation of the TNA Championship Series and would be headlined by a “Champion V Champion’ match between TNA T.V champion, CM Punk and TNA champion, James Storm.
MATCH 1| 8 MAN TAG| BRIAN KENDRICK, BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) & RON KILLINGS V WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON, EDDIE COLON, RYAN O’REILLY & SHAWN DAIVARI) W. NORMAN SMILEY| Last month at TNA Slammiversary, Wildcat Wrestling Academy competed in 3 matches where they lost two and won one when Colon who has been the most impressive member of WWA pinned Brian Kendrick. Norman Smiley has demanded more from his students tonight. Briscoe’s, Kendrick & Killings all have something to prove themselves too, Briscoe’s want to get into the TNA Tag Team title picture while Kendrick & Killings want to be competing against the best and not watching the TNA Championship Series at home. Fun match to kick off the show, crowd were into it especially team Kendrick, all four men on that team have potential and they picked up the victory tonight after Jay Briscoe pinned Daivari following a Springboard Doomsday device. RESULT| BRIAN KENDRICK, BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) & RON KILLINGS BEAT WILDCAT WRESTLING ACADEMY (CLIFF COMPTON, EDDIE COLON, RYAN O’REILLY & SHAWN DAIVARI) VIA PIN FALL
Following the match at ringside Norman Smiley read the riot act to his Wildcat Wrestling Academy students while Brian Kendrick, Briscoe Brothers and Ron Killings celebrated their victory.
Quick video package played looking back over what we have saw from the TNA Championship Series so far over the last 3 weeks heading into tonight’s Pay per View former TNA champion, Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels along with surprise package Samoa Joe have maximum points while Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy are just behind chasing the leading pack.
TNA Reporter, Don West was backstage with Ken Phoenix and Alexis Laree moments before Phoenix’s match against former partner and mentor of sorts Dustin Rhodes. Phoenix was wearing all black, a leather jacket, shades was starting to grow a beard and had his hair gelled back. Laree said Ken Phoenix was lost, out of his depth, weak, Ken Phoenix was a loser but now Alexis Laree will make a man out of Ken Phoenix and together they will make some money, become famous, headline shows, and will win titles because now Ken Phoenix is a winner!
MATCH 2| DUSTIN RHODES V KEN PHOENIX W. ALEXIS LAREE| Ken Phoenix not happy with how his career was going and how he was turning into a laughing stock has allowed to put his career in Alexis Laree’s hands. Laree doesn’t have much managerial experience apart from a short stint managing Michael Shane which didn’t end well for her. Phoenix is still adapting to his new role and the confidence/arrogance will come with time, Rhodes was on top throughout the match but Phoenix embracing his new attitude poked Rhodes in the eye with his thumb before dropping Rhodes with back suplex into a neck breaker which was enough to keep Rhodes down for the 3. Only the 2nd victory for Phoenix in his 20 TNA matches. Don Callis sarcastically said the Phoenix has risen from the flames! Alexis Laree was delighted with the victory and all over Phoenix after the bell. RESULT| KEN PHOENIX BEAT DUSTIN RHODES VIA PIN FALL
Former TNA Tag Team champion and leader of Alpha Male Enterprise, the ‘Alpha Male’ Monty Brown was shown sitting at ringside. Brown will be returning to the TNA ring full time very soon.
Alex Shelley and Angelina Love were shown sitting at a bar on hot beach somewhere drinking cocktails while wearing all black. Shelley told Angelina Love that they’ve had their fun in the sun and now it was time to return to TNA wrestling and Shelley thinks because he’s not involved in the TNA Championship Series when he gets back he’s going to start messing with people’s lives just for their own amusement.
MATCH 3| AMAZING RED W. JERRY LYNN V PETEY WILLIAMS W.COACH D’AMORE| Coach D’Amore and Petey Williams are livid that Williams missed out on being entered in the TNA Championship Series. Jerry Lynn was in Red’s corner, Lynn has previously called Williams’ a disrespectful punk and has been highly critical of the Canadian Destroyer. Good match the 3rd meeting between the two men so they know each other well, well enough for Red to roll through Williams’ Canadian Destroyer and spike Williams with his Satellite DDT before pinning Williams’ with his Red Star press. RESULT| AMAZING RED BEAT PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Red didn’t get time to celebrate his first victory over Petey Williams as Williams jumped Red as soon as he back on his feet, dropping Red with a spinning wheel kick before hooking Red for his Canadian Destroyer only for Jerry Lynn to enter the ring and pull Williams away and push Williams down, Williams rolled straight out of the ring as Coach D’Amore screamed at Jerry Lynn that he had just made the biggest mistake of his career. Lynn checked on Amazing Red as the in-ring portion of the pre-show came to an end.
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas back in the studio after quickly discussing Jerry Lynn saving his partner Amazing Red from Petey Williams hyped TNA Turning Point which was moments away. Borash reminded everyone that next month at TNA Sacrifice, James Storm would defend the TNA title against Low Ki and tonight Low Ki would join them in the studio to watch tonight’s Main Event. Also tonight we would hear from former TNA champion, AJ Styles for the first time since TNA Slammiversary and the TNA Championship Series continues.
TNA pre-show went off the air as TNA champion, James Storm was shown arriving at the arena ahead of tonight’s Main Event…
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING PRESENTS… TNA TURNING POINT – LIVE ON PAY PER VIEW!
TNA Turning Point opened with a video package hyping tonight’s Main Event the ‘Champion V Champion’ match pitting CM Punk V James Storm and the 2005 TNA Championship Series where the winner goes on to challenge for the TNA championship in October at TNA Bound for Glory. Video showed James Storm’s success over recent months beating Chris Harris to become the TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory before looking back over his successful title defences against the likes of Harris, Jeff Hardy, Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles while Storm was enjoying the high point of his life CM Punk had hit rock bottom. Punk lost to Jeff Hardy at TNA Bound for Glory and lost the right to challenge for the TNA title in 2005 by losing to AJ Styles at TNA Genesis but last month CM Punk became the TNA T.V champion claimed because he was the last man to beat James Storm he was now the true TNA champion, tonight could be the Turning Point in both men’s career plus the TNA Championship Series continues and tonight could be a Turning Point in any of the 10 entrants career which could lead to them winning the 2005 TNA Championship Series and going on to TNA Bound for Glory to challenge for the TNA championship.
Fireworks went off around the arena as Jeremy Borash’s voice welcomed everyone to TNA Turning Point live on Pay per View. Borash and his co-host Shane Douglas were shown in the studio and they immediately ran down tonight’s card which would see a Falls Count Anywhere match between ‘The Monster’ Abyss and Chris Hero which is only the 2nd Falls Count Anywhere match in TNA history. Also the TNA Championship Series continues, Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe lead the way and tonight Harris faces Joe! We will all find out what Samoa Joe is made of later tonight. In the Main Event for the first time ever, no titles are on the line but it will be ‘Champion V Champion’ when the new TNA T.V champion, CM Punk takes on TNA champion, James Storm!
Announcers, Mike Tenay and Don Callis were shown at ringside noted how also tonight we would hear from AJ Styles for the first time since TNA Slammiversary before they discussed the rules of the TNA Championship Series and tonight’s Time limits…
TIME LIMITS| 30 MINUTES| Main Event| Champion V Champion 20 MINUTES| Rest of the Card
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RULES - 20 Minute Time Limit - 10 Points for a Victory - 5 Points for a Time Limit draw - 2 Points for No Contest, Double Count out etc. - 0 Points for a Loss - -10 points for a loss via disqualification and/or outside interference
MATCH 4| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES) V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS)| Earlier tonight Bad Street Boys spoke with TNA.com telling them that now it’s open season when it comes to who is the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles and while TNA management may like the idea of GREATNESS going up against one of the best teams of the last decade the fact is Brothers in Arms are past it and tonight the most deserving of a TNA Tag Team title shot take their opportunity after they beat Brothers in Arms in the middle of the ring.
Bad Street Boys were a step up in competition for Brothers in Arms and with New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks watching backstage another team who believe they should be in contention for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles BG & Kip found it hard at times but with the support from the crowd Brothers in Arms managed to score another victory which came after Kip caught York with his famouser. Brothers in Arms due to their past achievements their 5 victories and the fact that there are no clear top contenders currently may be next in line for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles much to the annoyance of the majority of the division. RESULT| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES) BEAT BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) VIA PIN FALL
TNA Reporter, Don West was standing by backstage with TNA T.V champion, CM Punk ahead of Punk’s match tonight against TNA champion, James Storm. Punk knew that TNA management would slip up eventually but not in Punk’s wildest dreams think that management would slip up this bad as tonight Punk the current TNA T.V champion will beat the TNA champion making Punk even bigger than the TNA title, the man TNA management is desperately trying to keep from the TNA title tonight can become more bigger than their most prized possession. Punk asked what do, TNA management do after tonight, because CM Punk after tonight will hold all the cards. Punk before walking off joked that tonight really is a turning point…
MATCH 5| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| ABYSS V CHRIS HERO| Last month at TNA Slammiversary, Abyss and Chris Hero fought to a No Contest mainly due to Jim Mitchell being ringside and Abyss wanting to get answers from Mitchell as to why Mitchell turned his back on Abyss. Chris Hero revealed recently on TNA IMPACT that Jim Mitchell would not be present tonight and he would “put down” ‘The Monster’ Abyss! Brutal match which saw men bleed and trash cans and tables used. Taking things even further Abyss brought in a bag of tacks and a barbwire board and Hero pulled out the same steel chain he used to end Raven’s TNA career. Hero set the barbwire board up in the corner and started to wrap the chain around his elbow only to be Choke slammed by Abyss on to the thousands of thumbtacks, Hero was in agony due to the tacks in his back but also Hero may have broken his arm.
Abyss wasn’t done and wanted to send Chris Hero through the barbwire board only for RHINO to roll into the ring surprising everyone before sending Abyss through the barbwire board with a GORE!!! Fans were in shock with the appearance of Rhino the ‘Man Beast’ the former World champion rolled out of the ring as Chris Hero covered Abyss for the win. RESULT| CHRIS HERO BEAT ABYSS VIA PIN FALL
Cameras followed Rhino as he walked back up the ramp as Chris Hero sat against the bottom rope holding his elbow watching as TNA officials tried to free Abyss from the barbwire board as Rhino got to the top of the stage he was joined by Jim Mitchell. Mitchell raised Rhino’s hand. Mike Tenay wondered whether Chris Hero even knew about the alliance between Mitchell and Rhino. Don Callis called Jim Mitchell the devil and said Mitchell always has a plan and one way or another when this was all said and done ‘The Monster’ Abyss will be put down and it’s for Abyss’ own good!
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas back in the studio turned everyone’s attention to the 2005 TNA Championship Series and the fourth round of matches which are coming up shortly before showing the leader board on screen…
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 7th| Hernandez 10 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 10 Points – 5th| Jeff Hardy 20 Points – 4th| Bobby Roode 20 Points – 3rd| Samoa Joe 30 Points – 2nd| Christopher Daniels 30 Points – 1st| Chris Harris 30 Points.
Borash and Douglas discussed the possibilities saying that while no one can be technically eliminated here tonight with a loss tonight Nigel McGuinness, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Sabin and Hernandez will be on the brink while Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe can cement their places on top tonight with victories…
MATCH 6| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V JEFF HARDY| Jeff Hardy has a 2-1 record so far in the TNA Championship Series with his only loss coming this past Friday on IMPACT where Christopher Daniels made Hardy tap out for the second time! Sabin on the other hand is 0-3 and its’ all down to the beating Christopher Daniels gave Sabin their first match. Daniels beat respect into Sabin that night for Sabin claiming Daniels had no balls earlier in the year. Sabin has made no comments since the beating but also is yet to pick up a victory.
Fans were behind both men and it was a really good exciting match where both men took risks to pick up the victory. Hardy couldn’t afford to lose any more ground on the top two spots if he wanted to go on to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory. After Hardy missed his Swanton Bomb it seemed like Sabin was going to pick up his first victory of the Series but Hardy caught Sabin coming of the rope with his Twist of Fate which was enough to give Hardy the victory and keep Hardy in contention for one of the spots in the Finals. Hardy and Sabin shook hands after the bell. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL
Former TNA champion and top contender to the TNA title, Low Ki was shown arriving at the arena, next month Low Ki would challenge for the TNA title but later tonight Low Ki would join Borash & Douglas to watch tonight’s Main Event between the TNA T.V champion and TNA champion!
SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
MATCH 7| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V HERNANDEZ| Both Doug Williams and Hernandez picked up their first victories of the Series this past Friday, both were the first two victims of Samoa Joe who has surprised everyone and dominated the early stages of this year’s Series. During last year’s TNA Championship Series, Williams beat Hernandez and was looking to do the same tonight while Hernandez was after revenge. Neither could afford a loss – decent match but the outcome was the same as last year as Williams picked up the victory and took his record to 2-2 (20 Points) after spiking Hernandez with a Tombstone pile driver. First TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams cannot be written off yet especially after James Storm turned things around last year, Storm was never in the finals spots until the last night. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL
Footage was shown from earlier tonight of the shocking debut of former World champion, Rhino who under Jim Mitchell’s guidance took out ‘The Monster’ Abyss by Goring Abyss through a barbwire board! Borash noted that they hope to hear from Jim Mitchell and Rhino over the next couple of weeks before also reminding everyone that tonight still we were to hear from former TNA champion, ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles!
TNA Reporter, Don West was now backstage with former World champion, Jeff Jarrett. West cautiously mentioned Jarrett’s performance in the TNA Championship Series so far. Jarrett didn’t like the question and turned to West just staring at West with anger etched all other Jarrett’s face. Jarrett told West that he was still the best before walking off. Up next Jarrett takes on former TNA T.V champion and the vastly improving Bobby Roode…
MATCH 8| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| BOBBY ROODE V JEFF JARRETT| Jeff Jarrett a former multi time World champion has told everyone that he is the biggest name in TNA and the best TNA has to offer since day 1. Jarrett even claims that he walked out on TNA in 2003 because TNA management wasn’t treating him like the star he was, others believe that Jarrett left because he knew he couldn’t compete against the new wave of stars like AJ Styles, Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels, James Storm and Low Ki. Jarrett embarrassingly for him is 0-3 but the crowd have been getting behind Jarrett during his matches due to the extra effort it seems Jarrett has been putting in. Bobby Roode the former TNA T.V champion has a 2-1 record, impressing in the early stages of the TNA Championship Series so far. The two had a very good old school type wrestling match. Roode who claims to be the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA has stated that everyone is witnessing the ‘Rise of Roode’ well Jarrett was out to stop that tonight. Both men came close and the fans got behind Jarrett again due to the fact Jarrett wouldn’t stay down Roode hit all of his big moves, spine buster, block buster and even his fisherman’s suplex but Jarrett kept kicking out until Roode finally caught Jarrett with his Lariat to the back of the head finally kept Jarrett down. Bobby Roode now up to 30 Points and is joint top heading into the final two TNA Championship Series matches of the evening. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL
Cameras stayed on Jeff Jarrett after the match as Jarrett was sitting on the ring apron taking in the respectful ovation from the crowd in attendance. Mike Tenay wondered what was going through the mind of Jeff Jarrett right now.
Video aired ahead of the next match looking over the TNA career of the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. Daniels was the first ever TNA champion beating the entire TNA roster at the time to win the first Gauntlet for the Gold match. Daniels has beaten everyone there is to beat including AJ Styles, Low Ki, Sting, Chris Harris, Jeff Hardy, CM Punk and current TNA champion, James Storm. Last year Daniels went through the entire round robin stage of the TNA Championship Series without losing and this year Daniels is intent on regaining the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory and proving that he is a gift from God.
MATCH 9| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Nigel McGuinness spoke with TNA.com earlier today and reminded everyone that he plays by his own rules and while McGuinness may not be going on to win the Series this year, when it’s all said and done everyone is going to remember being in the ring with Nigel McGuinness. McGuinness is 0-3 but has impressed and every match has been close while Daniels is 3-0 carrying on his form from last year’s round robin matches.
Really strong match again Nigel McGuinness showing that he has all the tools needed to be a star, McGuinness is tough and showed no respect towards Daniels and brought the fight to the first ever TNA champion, running Daniels’ plans of trying to wrestle McGuinness. Daniels did manage to trap McGuinness in his Koji clutch the same move which has made James Storm & Jeff Hardy tap out in the past but McGuinness made it to the ropes. McGuinness almost made Daniels tap to, McGuinness trapped Daniels in arm bar camel clutch combination and Daniels instantly began panicking before grabbing the ropes. McGuinness may have stumbled on a great weapon. More near falls were exchanged between the two before Daniels managed to catch McGuinness with his Angels Wings for the victory. Nigel McGuinness is making a name for himself even in defeat. Daniels has a100% record and is 4-0. Christopher Daniels has to be the odds on favorite to win the 2005 TNA Championship Series. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT NIGEL McGUINNESS VIA PIN FALL
Christopher Daniels going into the last TNA Championship Series match of the night has opened up a lead now over the rest of the competition but will be joined at the top by the winner of the next match either former TNA champion, Chris Harris or the newcomer who has taken the entire wrestling industry by surprise, Samoa Joe!
Quick footage of Samoa Joe’s dominant performances since joining TNA back at TNA Slammiversary last month were shown before we joined TNA Reporter, Don West who was backstage with the former TNA champion, Chris Harris. West asked Harris if he was ready face Samoa Joe tonight, who replied Harris with an arrogant smile before asking what a Samoa Joe was and mocking the name before telling Don West that Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Jeff Hardy anybody else could not stop him, at TNA Bound for Glory he regains his TNA title and becomes the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
MATCH 10| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS HARRIS V SAMOA JOE| Samoa Joe again refused to speak to any reporters pre match, we have never heard from Samoa Joe since joining TNA wrestling. Joe has dominated everyone he has faced so far and Joe showed no nerves standing opposite Chris Harris before the bell. Harris is easily the biggest challenge of Joe’s career, Harris is a former TNA champion but has lost on his last three Pay per View appearances.
Samoa Joe is a whole new breed of athlete, Joe was all over Harris. Harris has faced the best over the last couple of years but he has never faced anything like Joe. Even though Joe doesn’t play to the crowd they were right behind Joe taking apart Chris Harris. Joe didn’t control the entire match and Harris had his moments but they were only moments, Harris couldn’t stay on top of Joe for long and eventually Joe started taking the former TNA champion apart before pinning Harris with his Muscle Buster! Tonight maybe a turning point in the history of TNA as maybe tonight will be the night when every looks back and agrees was the night Samoa Joe took over TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Joe is 4-0, 100% record with 40 points joint top with Christopher Daniels! Don Callis said Samoa Joe may be unbeatable. RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA PIN FALL
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Nigel McGuinness 0 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 8th| Chris Sabin 0 Points – 7th| Hernandez 10 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 5th| Jeff Hardy 30 Points – 4th| Bobby Roode 30 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 30 Points – 2nd| Samoa Joe 40 Points – 1st| Christopher Daniels 40 Points

Back in the studio Borash and Douglas recapped what we had seen from the TNA Championship Series here tonight, Douglas was still in shock with the way Samoa Joe beat Chris Harris. There are still 50 Points to play for and the final round robin match takes place next month live on Pay per View at TNA Sacrifice! AJ Styles’ music hit in the arena so Borash sent it back to ringside…
AJ Styles in the ring with a microphone in hand. AJ was dressed in jeans and a shirt and for the first time had a beard growing. Fans were on their feet for the former TNA champion and the man many call the true face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. AJ thanked the fans for their reception. AJ started off by apologizing to the fans because he has promised them something he is not going to deliver. AJ promised the fans that he would become the TNA champion in 2005 and while its only July the fact is AJ will not win the TNA title this year, fans booed and AJ said that sentence was harder to say than to hear. As everyone knows AJ was screwed out of the TNA title back in January 2004 and ever since then until last month AJ has had tunnel vision solely focusing on regaining the TNA title, nothing else mattered and AJ had this burning desire in his stomach but last month after losing to James Storm in the middle of this ring that feeling in the gut of his stomach went away and AJ started to hear the sound of the birds again because while AJ didn’t win the TNA title at TNA Slammiversary he can accept when he is beaten by the better man in the middle of the ring and last month James Storm was the better man and is the true TNA champion. AJ admitted when he lost last month it felt like he lost the TNA title.
AJ will one day regain the TNA title but it is now time for AJ to have a little time, recharge his batteries, spend some time with his family and come back better than ever with peace of mind. AJ vowed that the next time he promises the fans anything he will deliver. AJ thanked the fans for their support before telling them he would see them all very soon! AJ Styles left to a standing ovation from everyone in the arena.
TNA champion, James Storm was watching backstage alongside TNA Reporter, Don West. Storm told DW that AJ was a class act and last month was an honor and he looks forward to facing AJ again down the road but until then Storm is going to have his hands full first with CM Punk tonight and Low Ki next month before defending the richest prize in the game at the biggest night of the TNA year at TNA Bound for Glory in October. Storm has heard what CM Punk has to say and Storm doesn’t care about Punk’s issues with TNA management and Storm doesn’t care if there is any truth in Punk’s claims or not the only thing Storm is interested in is clearing any dark clouds hovering over his head and he starts tonight by beating Punk in the middle of the ring.
SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
Low Ki had now joined Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio to watch tonight’s Main Event. Low Ki gave credit to James Storm saying Storm has been a fighting champion and has proven that he deserves to be TNA champion. Low Ki called Storm’s decision to give him a TNA title shot was noble and brave but ultimately will cost Storm because there was no way Low Ki was leaving TNA Sacrifice next month without the TNA title…
MATCH 11| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK| History, for the first time ever the TNA champion is facing the TNA T.V champion. Storm has been TNA champion since early November while Punk has been TNA T.V champion since TNA Slammiversary last month. CM Punk was the last person to beat James Storm just over a year ago during the 2004 TNA Championship Series which Storm went on to win.
Announcers, Mike Tenay and Don Callis discussed what would happen if Punk was to beat Storm tonight because even though Punk would hold a victory over Storm, Punk cannot challenge for the TNA title in 2005. Very good Main Event standard match. Both men are stars and are among the best in the business today. Punk tried to beat Storm the same way he did last year with an Even flow DDT on the ring apron, the hardest part of the ring but Storm pushed Punk off before clocking Punk with his Super Kick, Storm almost won the match via count out but Punk just about made it back into the ring in time. Storm scored a near fall shortly after with his Eye of the Storm but Punk again kicked out before scoring a near fall of his own after catching Storm with an Even flow DDT but Storm kicked out at the last second.
The TNA T.V champion showed that he is at the level of the TNA champion and after hooking Storm for his Pepsi Plunge it seemed like Punk was seconds away from the biggest win of his career only for Storm to counter with a back drop before quickly nailing Punk with his Super kick before covering Punk and hooking Punk’s inside leg for extra leverage. RESULT| JAMES STORM BEAT CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL
Another impressive victory for the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm who has been a true fighting champion. Storm was handed his TNA title while sitting on the mat taking in the ovation before Low Ki was shown in the studio telling Borash that Storm was impressive tonight but Low Ki saw holes in Storm’s game and will take the TNA title from him next month. Replays were then shown from the match and interesting the replays showed that when Storm covered Punk for the victory his left leg was under the bottom rope and while Punk was clearly knocked out the winning fall should not have counted.
CM Punk not even aware that his foot was under the rope as he was helped to his feet at ringside and handed his TNA T.V title as James Storm celebrated with the TNA championship as TNA Turning Point went off the air.

- MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Chris Sabin successfully defended the TNA T.V title against Nigel McGuinness back at TNA Unbreakable but that feels like a long time ago now, both men put in a good performance in defeat on Sunday and both men tonight were looking to pick up their first points of the Series tonight and they did because they wrestled to a very good and well received time limit draw the first of the 2005 TNA Championship Series. Both men were not impressed with the outcome but both have to be happy they finally have some points on the board.

- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V CHRIS HARRIS| Chris Harris suffered the most dominant loss of his career this past Sunday against Samoa Joe. Tenay noted that Harris has refused to discuss the match. Hernandez was out after revenge over Harris as Harris led a Wildcat Wrestling Academy attack on Hernandez a couple of months ago. Hernandez came close to picking up the win on a couple of occasions and the crowd were loud in their support but Harris managed to rebound from his loss to Joe by beating Hernandez following a Spear and his Catatonic. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- POST MATCH INTERVIEW| Chris Harris grabbed a microphone from ringside and told everyone to forget about what happened on Sunday calling it a fluke, saying it would never happen again because Harris will never take anyone lightly again.

- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA TURNING POINT| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| CHRIS HERO BEAT ABYSS VIA PIN FALL| Hero picked up the victory after Rhino shocked everyone by showing up and attacking ‘The Monster’ Abyss sending Abyss through a barbwire board with a Gore.

- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY V BOBBY ROODE| Winner of this match would join Daniels, Joe and Harris on 40 points and next week Hardy would get the chance to take points of Samoa Joe. Roode who beat Jeff Jarrett at TNA Turning Point would be the surprise of the Series if it was not for Samoa Joe’s performances so far. Good wrestling match, both desperate to stay within touching distance of the top spots and it was Hardy who came away with the 10 points after hitting his Swanton Bomb. Hardy’s match next week against Samoa Joe may go some way in deciding who will be advancing on to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL (JEFF HARDY: 10 POINTS)
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA TURNING POINT| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM BEAT TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL…
- STUDIO| Borash & Douglas discussed the TNA title picture in more detail focussing on the fact that CM Punk’s leg was actually under the ropes when the match official counted his fall but was missed, Borash noted how Punk didn’t know about it at the time due to being knocked out and technically the fall should not have counted. Shane Douglas noted TNA T.V champion, CM Punk now does know and is not happy about claiming it is another example of TNA management screwing him over!
- NEXT WEEK| TNA T.V champion, CM Punk!
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Doug Williams was signed by TNA originally in large because of the fact he had held a victory over then TNA champion, Christopher Daniels but since joining TNA – Williams’ has twice lost to Daniels including during last year’s Series. Williams has done well in recent weeks to regroup from losing his first two matches and a victory over Daniels who has never lost a TCS round robin match would get him back in the running but it wasn’t to be, Daniels won a great wrestling match after spiking Harris with his Angels Wings. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| Christopher Daniels now has 50 points and with only 40 points left to play for. Chris Sabin and Nigel McGuinness have been now been mathematically eliminated as they highest amount of points they can pick up is 45 points and if Jeff Jarrett doesn’t pick up 10 points against Samoa Joe up next then Jarrett will be mathematically eliminated too.
- NEXT WEEK| Chris Sabin V Jeff Jarrett – Doug Williams V Bobby Roode – Hernandez V Christopher Daniels – Nigel McGuinness V Chris Harris – Jeff Hardy V Samoa Joe!
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF JARRETT V SAMOA JOE| Samoa Joe shows no emotion, he’s as cold as ice. Joe just stood back in the corner as the bell rang before smirking at Jarrett. Jarrett angry with his points tally and Joe’s attitude got right in Joe’s face demanding Joe show more respect while poking Joe in the chest and it got a great ovation from the crowd who have completely changed their opinion of Jarrett during the TNA Championship Series, shows what making an effort can do. Fans were right behind Jarrett during the match, unbelievable that Jarrett was the underdog but Joe toyed with Jarrett before mauling Jarrett with elbows which cut Jarrett above the eye before locking Jarrett who was bleeding heavily in his rear naked choke causing Jarrett to pass out and the match official to call the match off. RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA STOPPAGE (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 9th| Nigel McGuinness 5 Points – 8th| Chris Sabin 5 Points – 7th| Hernandez 10 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 5th| Bobby Roode 30 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 40 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 40 Points – 2nd| Samoa Joe 50 Points – 1st| Christopher Daniels 50 Points
- CLOSE| Following the rankings appearing on stage which showed Joe joint top while Jarrett is bottom with zero points and now eliminated, Joe was pacing around the ring as a bloody Jeff Jarrett was checked on by TNA paramedics while TNA IMPACT went off the air as Mike Tenay wondered whether Jeff Hardy could be the first man to take some points of Samoa Joe, next week on TNA IMPACT!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- EARLIER TODAY| TNA IMPACT opened with Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas along with other TNA staff were prepping for tonight’s show, CM Punk interrupted demanding to know where TNA management was hiding. Borash tried to cool the situation by telling Punk he has been given time on the show to address what happened at TNA Turning Point. Punk doesn’t want to wait and has had enough. Punk also swore a lot which was bleeped out. CM Punk is not happy because he lost to James Storm at TNA Turning Point even though his foot was under the bottom rope and the fall should not have counted…
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA TURNING POINT| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM BEAT TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL…
- RINGSIDE| Borash’s voice welcomed everyone to the show as CM Punk was already in the ring, pacing in anger with a microphone in hand. The TNA T.V champion believes he was screwed over by TNA management again at TNA Turning Point and it reminds him too much of the time he should have been made the top contender to the TNA title when AJ Styles was champion but it went to Chris Harris instead and this time it has gone to Low Ki. Mike Tenay reminded everyone on commentary that Punk cannot challenge for the TNA title in 2005, the Low Ki title defence was made in advance and while Punk’s leg was under the bottom rope Punk didn’t put it there it fell there after Punk was knocked out by James Storm’s super kick! Punk is sick and tired of being screwed over by this company, Punk is the best wrestler in the world but now he has had enough, he is at his breaking point and he is going to take matters into his own hands! Punk slammed the microphone down before storming off.
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas understand Punk’s anger about the decision but also agreed with Mike Tenay’s comments but they are 100% confident that there is no merit to Punk’s claims that TNA management is against him. Throughout the week during press and radio interviews Punk also viewed his opinion on TNA management claiming that Punk’s leg being under the bottom rope was not shown during the highlights from the match. CM Punk is losing his mind according to Borash and Douglas and they are both worried about what CM Punk may do next!
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- TONIGHT| Video looking back over the careers of both James Storm and Low Ki including comments from both men ahead of their huge Main Event which is a dream match for many TNA wrestling fans.
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas turned their attention to tonight’s TNA Championship Series matches. Tonight Hernandez and Doug Williams could both be mathematically eliminated if results do not go their way, while Jeff Hardy cannot afford to lose to Samoa Joe as he would fall 20 points behind a spot in the TNA Championship Series finals.
- TONIGHT| Chris Sabin V Jeff Jarrett – Doug Williams V Bobby Roode – Hernandez V Christopher Daniels – Nigel McGuinness V Chris Harris – Jeff Hardy V Samoa Joe!
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 9th| Nigel McGuinness 5 Points – 8th| Chris Sabin 5 Points – 7th| Hernandez 10 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 5th| Bobby Roode 30 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 40 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 40 Points – 2nd| Samoa Joe 50 Points – 1st| Christopher Daniels 50 Points

- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TIME LIMITS| All TNA Championship Series matches have a 20 minute time limit
- MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V JEFF JARRETT| Both men have been eliminated from the TNA Championship Series and are just fighting for pride now. Sabin never stood a chance after being destroyed by Christopher Daniels in his first match which is something we are still to hear Sabin address while Jarrett learned just how strong the TNA talent was. Jarrett’s head was bandaged following his match with Joe last week. Good match and Sabin finally managed to pick up his first victory of the Series after surprising Jarrett with a roll up countering Jarrett’s Stroke. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS SABIN: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Hernandez needs a miracle even if he wins all his remaining matches he can only finish on 50 Points so Hernandez is relying on a lot of top talent dropping points. Daniels can eliminate Hernandez tonight with a victory. Daniels has stepped up another gear during the TNA Championship Series while Hernandez has disappointed. Daniels was too good for Hernandez eliminated ‘Mexican Muscle’ from the Series after catching Hernandez with his Angels Wings. Daniels still has a 100% record but next week faces former TNA champion, Chris Harris! RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- POST MATCH| Chris Harris met Christopher Daniels on the stage after the match as Daniels headed backstage the two former TNA champions the only former TNA champions in the TNA Championship Series exchanged words with Harris telling Daniels he was the face of professional wrestling while Daniels reminded Harris that Harris has never beat him. A couple of TNA officials came out to make sure the two men didn’t getting into a fight.
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS HARRIS V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Harris needed to focus on Nigel McGuinness and wait until next week to worry about Christopher Daniels because McGuinness is a lot better than his points tally suggests. McGuinness is going to be a player in TNA very soon and brought the fight to Harris and like against Daniels at TNA Turning Point, McGuinness almost trapped Harris in an arm lock of sorts but Harris quickly got to the ropes, not long after Harris managed to catch McGuinness with a Spear for the victory. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT NIGEL McGUINNESS VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA TURNING POINT| FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH| CHRIS HERO BEAT ABYSS…

- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES)!
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE| Two former TNA T.V champions meeting tonight, Roode actually beat Williams to start his reign as champion. Both men need the victory here tonight as both men are stuck in the middle of the pack a defeat could send them out of the Series while a win could keep the winner in contention but only just. Roode picked up the victory following his Lariat to the back of the head pretty much eliminating Williams from the Series and ending his hopes of becoming the first ever British TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory while the “Rise of Roode” continues! RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (BOBBY ROODE: 10 POINTS)
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- VIDEO| Looking back over the TNA careers of both TNA champion, James Storm and former TNA champion, Low Ki. Low Ki was given an opportunity on night one and Low Ki along with AJ Styles took it with both hands. TNA01 Low Ki and AJ Styles had a classic and then never looked back Low Ki won the TNA title and finished the first year with a 90% win rate. James Storm on the other hand had a decent year and was slowly starting to make a name for himself before really grabbing everyone’s attention during his rivalry against Extreme Revolution. 2nd Year Low Ki was injured by ‘The Monster’ Abyss causing Low Ki to miss the entire year during his absence the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ was definitely given more opportunities to shine and Storm excelled and would have challenged for the TNA title if it was not for an injury. Last year saw Low Ki return and prove that he may be better than ever and after exacting revenge on ‘The Monster’ Abyss, Low Ki set his sights on the TNA title which was now held by James Storm! Storm won the first ever TNA Championship Series and beat Chris Harris to become the new TNA champion in the biggest match in TNA history. Comments from both men aired with Storm saying he had to grant Low Ki a title shot because it was the right thing to do, Low Ki has earned it plus is saves anyone questioning Storm’s reign as TNA champion. Low Ki thinks it’s funny how things work out because if Low Ki had never got injured James Storm may not have won the first TNA Championship Series, wouldn’t have headlined TNA Bound for Glory and would not have become the TNA champion! Low Ki means no disrespect but James Storm benefitted from Low Ki’s misery and at TNA Sacrifice, Low Ki will regain the TNA championship!
- NEXT WEEK| TNA IMPACT| CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- NEXT WEEK| Jeff Jarrett V Nigel McGuinness – Chris Sabin V Doug Williams – Jeff Hardy V Hernandez – Bobby Roode V Samoa Joe – Chris Harris V Christopher Daniels!
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY V SAMOA JOE| Huge match in the scheme of the TNA Championship Series, with only 3 matches left a Jeff Hardy defeat could pretty much ruin Hardy’s chances of advancing to the finals. With a victory Joe will remain in one of the two qualification spots and 10 points ahead of 3rd place. Hardy threw everything at Joe using his body as a weapon and Hardy rocked Joe on occasion but no one knows how to deal with Joe’s MMA style yet and at times Hardy just had to worry about surviving let alone winning. However Hardy finally caught Joe with a spinning mule kick and followed it up with his Whisper in the Wind and just when it seemed Hardy had Joe set up for his Twist of Fate as Hardy turned Joe just trapped Hardy in his rear naked choke, Hardy fought for the ropes but had no choice but to tap out! RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT JEFF HARDY VIA TAP OUT (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 9th| Nigel McGuinness 5 Points – 8th| Hernandez 10 Points – 7th| Chris Sabin 15 Points – 6th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 5th| Bobby Roode 40 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 40 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 50 Points – 2nd| Samoa Joe 60 Points – 1st| Christopher Daniels 60 Points
- CLOSE| Samoa Joe’s dominance continues, Joe has won all 8 of his matches so far here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling and in that time Joe has won a Battle Royal over 24 other men, beat former TNA T.V champions, former World champion, former TNA champion and now Jeff Hardy who’s TNA Championship Series may be over 20 points behind the qualification spots with 30 points left to play for. TNA IMPACT went off the air as Samoa Joe was walking back up the ramp showing no emotion as Mike Tenay questioned whether anyone could stop Samoa Joe!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…

Tonight both men are fighting for pride again as they cannot advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Good wrestling match which saw Sabin score back to back wins for the first time in the Series and leapfrogs Williams in the standings after pinning Williams following his Cradle shock. Sabin must be asking himself how different his Series would have been had he not been taken apart by Christopher Daniels in the first round of matches. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS SABIN: 10 POINTS)
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Bobby Roode said the fate of the TNA Championship Series is in his hands because over the next two weeks he faces Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels. Roode can turn everything on its head and no one should write him off and everyone needs to remember that Bobby Roode is the most dangerous and calculated man in TNA today!
- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF JARRETT V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Only two men left in the Series who are yet to pick up a victory. Jarrett has actually won over some of the fans with his efforts in the Series against some of the best wrestlers in the world and it was no different tonight. Without question Jarrett’s ego would have took a beating throughout this series. Stronger match, stronger than it had any right to be with both men being eliminated but after weeks of trying McGuinness trapped Jarrett in his arm lock which he is calling London Dungeon causing Jarrett to tap out! RESULT| NIGEL McGUINNESS BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA TAP OUT (NIGEL McGUINNESS: 10 POINTS)
- RINGSIDE| Jim Mitchell made his way out to ringside as quick footage from TNA Turning Point was shown, showing the debut of Rhino who attacked ‘The Monster’ Abyss sending him through a barbwire board with a Gore! Mitchell now in the ring with TNA Announcer, Mike Tenay told Tenay that ever since he made the decision to have his monster put down many innocent people have fell victim to Abyss. Abyss dismantled Heroes for Villains all because Abyss wants answers from Jim Mitchell. Mitchell has decided that it is only fair to give Abyss the answers he craves so at TNA Sacrifice, Mitchell is inviting Abyss to join him in the middle of the ring and Mitchell “devil to monster” will explain everything. Tenay asked about Rhino but again Mitchell said everything will be explained at TNA Sacrifice once and for all.
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| BOBBY ROODE V SAMOA JOE| Bobby Roode loses tonight and Christopher Daniels wins later tonight then the former TNA T.V champion will be eliminated from the TNA Championship Series. Roode has to do something no one else has managed to do and that is beat Samoa Joe to give himself a chance but like everyone else before him Roode didn’t stand a chance the silent assassin Joe took Roode apart at will before pinning Roode with his Muscle Buster in the middle of the ring. Samoa Joe as is his routine had his hand raised in victory and left the ring, no showboating no celebrations no emotions, Samoa Joe is all business. RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- TNA NEWS| Borash & Douglas announced a new match signed for TNA Sacrifice a 6 man tag team match pitting Amazing Red, Brian Kendrick & Jerry Lynn against New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks & Petey Williams w. Coach D’Amore!
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V JEFF HARDY| Going into this match Hardy was 30 points behind Joe and 20 points behind Christopher Daniels in the qualifying spots for the finals. A defeat here and a victory for Daniels later would eliminate Hardy from the Series. Hernandez used his size to dominate early and tossed Hardy around with ease but Hardy came back into the match and picked up one of the most important victories of his career after pinning Hernandez with a roll up. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (JEFF HARDY: 10 POINTS)
- STUDIO| Borash revealed that there is a possibility that the way the TNA Championship Series is working out with Joe and Daniels facing each other last is that 2nd and 3rd may finish on the same points, Borash revealed if that is the case then the finals would become a Triple Threat match!
- VIDEO| Looking back over the previous three meetings between Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels, all three previous matches have all been Main Events and they have all been for the TNA championship. Two of the matches went to a time limit draw while Christopher Daniels won the other via referee stoppage after he left Chris Harris a bloody mess…
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Huge match, Daniels V Harris could headline any TNA event including TNA Bound for Glory. 2 of the best in the world both former TNA champions, both former Gauntlet for the Gold winners and both desperate to regain the TNA title to prove they are the best in the world. As always a great match between the two with so much on the line because a Daniels victory pretty much guarantees Daniels’ and Samoa Joe will advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Match approached the 20 minute time limit and both men had come close to picking up the victory but right at the death Harris in desperation flung himself at Daniels looking for a Spear but missed and hit the turnbuckle hard which allowed Daniels to spike Harris with his Angels Wings for the win. Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe are guaranteed a spot in the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series but because they still have to face one another in the final match there is still a possibility that Harris or Jeff Hardy can catch the loser of Daniels/Joe which would turn the finals of the TNA Championship Series into a Triple Threat match! RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)

Both men signed the contract then Low Ki offered his hand, Storm accepted and shook Ki’s hand but kept hold of Low Ki’s hand as Low Ki turned to leave. Storm pulled Low Ki back in before letting go, telling Low Ki he wasn’t going anywhere yet because Storm has something to say. Storm brought up Low Ki questioning whether Storm would have had the success he has had if Low Ki had not been injured. Storm told Low Ki they could debate it for hours but the simpler way will be by proving it at TNA Sacrifice next week when he kicks Low Ki’s teeth down his throat. Low Ki didn’t look happy with Storm pulling him back and threatening to kick his teeth down his throat but Low Ki told Storm he respects him trying to be the best champion possible but it’s going to come back and bite Storm on the ass because next week Low Ki regains the TNA title and will go on to TNA Bound for Glory as the TNA champion, Low Ki told Storm he has been a proud champion and he hopes Storm enjoyed the experience because Storm may never get to experience it again after TNA Sacrifice. Low Ki reminded Storm that with or without the title he is the best TNA has to offer and the records speak for themselves but he wants the title and he’s going to take it back at TNA Sacrifice! Storm stepped up to Low Ki cracked a smile and told Low Ki he was excited about fighting Low Ki and warned Low Ki that he is not the same James Storm who was around when Low Ki was champion saying this was his house now and at TNA Sacrifice, Storm cements himself as a great! Storm exited the ring as Low Ki watched from the ring…
CM Punk came running down the ramp and jumped on James Storm the two men were trying to get at one another as TNA officials were out trying to separate both men. Crowd were on their feet as Punk and Storm were brawling at ringside, officials finally got in between both men but as TNA IMPACT went off the air CM Punk was caught screaming at Storm that he was going to take it all away from him.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports the 60th show and the last show before TNA Sacrifice this Sunday live on Pay per View. Borash was joined as always by Shane Douglas in the studio and the two hyped the penultimate round of matches from the TNA Championship Series also kicking off the show we would have the contract signing for the TNA Tag Team championship match taking place at TNA Sacrifice also…
- CONTRACT SIGNING| Mike Tenay was overseeing the contract signing this week between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) the champions and the top contenders, Brothers in Arms (BG & Kip James). Both teams were out, GREATNESS returning for the first time since beating Zero Gravity in a legendary Ladder match at TNA Slammiversary. Both teams all four men signed the contract. BG James then addressed the champions warning GREATNESS that they had never faced a team like them before and as great as Aries and Strong are they are going up against a new level of competition this Sunday. Kip James took over and told GREATNESS that Zero Gravity are exciting but Zero Gravity and the rest of the TNA Tag Team division haven’t done what they have and this Sunday they will add to their legacy when they become the TNA Tag Team champions. Aries responded by telling Brothers in Arms that sometimes when he talks he sounds like he’s being disrespectful but doesn’t mean to be, he’s just giving the shared opinion of himself and Strong but their opinion is Brothers in Arms are not threat to their titles and they have only accepted the match so they can add their names to their growing resume. Brothers in Arms were great but now they don’t compare to the likes of GREATNESS or Zero Gravity or some of the other teams in the TNA Tag Team division and very soon Brothers in Arms will come to learn that. Aries finished by telling BG & Kip that they respect what they have done in the past but now they have taken tag team wrestling to a new level and this Sunday they’re going to add to their growing legacy by beating Brothers in Arms. BG James had to hold Kip James back afterwards as GREATNESS raised their TNA Tag Team titles above their heads.

- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas noted that everyone has been eliminated from the TNA Championship Series besides Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Chris Harris and Jeff Hardy. Daniels and Joe have already qualified for the finals however Hardy and Harris could still technically finish on the same points as either Joe or Daniels if they drop points but if Joe or Daniels are both victorious tonight then Hardy and Harris will be eliminated from the TNA Championship Series and as well as meeting this Sunday, Joe and Daniels will also meet in the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series!
- MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Both men while eliminated from the TNA Championship Series will still be looking to finish as strongly as possible because they know that all wins and losses go towards entry into the following years Series. Hernandez was too strong to be locked into McGuinness’ new London Dungeon but tripped Hernandez when Hernandez went up top before planting Hernandez with his London’s Falling for the victory. McGuinness struggled to pick up victories at the beginning of the Series but is finishing strong. RESULT| NIGEL McGUINNESS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (NIGEL McGUINNESS: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V JEFF HARDY| Hardy knows that his fate is out of his own hands now because even if Hardy was to win tonight and it’s the same situation for Chris Harris if Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe are both victorious neither of them can be caught and they will meet in the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series. Hardy kept his concentration and won a nice match against Doug Williams picking up the victory with his Swanton Bomb, Hardy who embraced with Williams after the match can now only sit back and watch Daniels and Joe in action later tonight. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (JEFF HARDY: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF JARRETT V CHRIS HARRIS| Mike Tenay noted that the fact that Chris Harris is almost certainly not going to advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series has hit him hard and there are rumours that this week Harris has been particularly hard on the students of the Wildcat Wrestling Academy. Harris also took his frustration out on Jarrett too tonight at times Harris was going to get disqualified but managed to keep his cool long enough to beat bottom of the standings Jarrett following a Spear. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT JEFF JARRETT VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS HARRIS: 10 POINTS)
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas noted that Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe are guaranteed a spot in the finals of the TNA Championship Series but there was a slim chance of either Chris Harris or Jeff Hardy could join them in the finals but if Daniels and Joe both win their matches tonight then Hardy and Harris cannot catch Daniels or Joe…
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 200| TNA SACRIFICE| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| Hernandez V Jeff Jarrett V Doug Williams V Nigel McGuinness – Chris Sabin V Bobby Roode – Jeff Hardy V Chris Harris – Christopher Daniels V Samoa Joe!
- MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| BOBBY ROODE V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| Former TNA T.V champion V former TNA champion. Bobby Roode has opened a lot of eyes due to his performances during the TNA Championship Series and can leave the series with his head held high. Daniels has never lost a round robin TNA Championship Series match. Really good wrestling match with Roode knowing his name would be made with a victory over Daniels tonight, only men who have held the TNA title have beaten Daniels. Near falls were exchanged but in the end Daniels managed to keep his 100% record intact and damage the hopes of both Chris Harris and Jeff Hardy after making Roode tap to his Koji clutch. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA TAP OUT (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
- MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V SAMOA JOE| Samoa Joe wins tonight then the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series will be Samoa Joe against Christopher Daniels in two weeks on TNA IMPACT. Tonight is the 10th match of Joe’s career and Joe has won them all beating former TNA, TNA T.V, and World champions in the process. Sabin used his speed well and had Joe off his game at times but eventually like everyone before him once Joe got his hands on Sabin there was no escaping and Joe finally put Sabin away with his Muscle Buster! RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
- POST MATCH| Samoa Joe was standing tall in the middle of the ring showing no emotion as the announcers again praised the undefeated Samoa Joe when Christopher Daniels music hit in the arena. Daniels and Joe meet in the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series in 2 weeks but first they will meet this Sunday at TNA Sacrifice in the las round robin match of the Series. Daniels and Joe stood face to face as the announcers wondered who would still be undefeated in the TNA Championship Series and who would have all the momentum going into the finals following TNA Sacrifice. Samoa Joe ignored the first ever TNA champion and exited the ring. Two of the best wrestlers in the world go at live on Pay per View this Sunday at TNA Sacrifice!
- SUNDAY 14TH AUGUST 2005| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI!
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas hyped the Main Event of TNA Sacrifice between James Storm and Low Ki for the TNA championship. Borash called it a true dream match, a first time ever meeting between two of the best. Douglas said though that currently at the minute the shadow of the TNA T.V champion, CM Punk is hanging over one of the biggest matches in TNA history…
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Backstage last week after jumping TNA champion, James Storm – TNA.com spoke with CM Punk. Punk is not willing to go through this all again, saying the same thing is happening now that happened when AJ Styles was TNA champion. Punk claimed TNA management was protecting James Storm and keeping him from the TNA title, while Punk just wants what’s his a fair shot. Storm didn’t beat Punk last month, Punk said James Storm doesn’t want any dark clouds hanging over his reign as TNA champion but told Storm he now has one and at TNA Sacrifice, Punk is going to take it all away from James Storm the same way he did to AJ Styles!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING PRESENTS… TNA SACRIFICE – LIVE ON PAY PER VIEW!
TNA Sacrifice opened with a video package showing sacrifice the TNA wrestlers put their bodies through to entertain the fans and to earn the right to fight for the TNA titles. Video covered GREATNESS’s reign as TNA Tag Team champions as they get ready to face one of the greatest teams in recent history. TNA Championship Series is covered where 10 men competed in the most mentally and physically exhausting competition for the right to challenge for the TNA title. Also the TNA careers of Low Ki and James Storm were shown ahead of their huge TNA title match and the sacrifices both men have made to be TNA champion but only one man can be TNA champion! Who will go on to TNA Bound for Glory as the TNA Champion?
Jeremy Borash in the studio welcomed everyone to TNA Sacrifice. Borash alongside Shane Douglas hyped that tonight we would see the final round of the TNA Championship Series which includes a preview for the finals plus two TNA title matches which could also be described as dream matches when GREATNESS defend the TNA Tag Team titles against Brothers in Arms and James Storm defends the TNA title against former TNA champion, Low Ki. Borash also revealed that later tonight he would also get to share some huge news regarding the future of TNA IMPACT!
Moments ago James Storm pulled into the arena in his pick-up truck before stopping to talk with TNA.com the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ addressed TNA T.V champion, CM Punk telling Punk that last month they went to war and technically the result should not stand, Storm accepts that but Punk needs to realise that Storm knocked Punk out, Punk’s foot fell under the ropes was not placed there, Punk is not entitled to a title match and Storm has bigger priorities on his plate like Low Ki and TNA Bound for Glory so Punk will have to wait but in time Punk will get his!
MATCH 1| 6 MAN TAG| AMAZING RED, BRIAN KENDRICK & JERRY LYNN V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS & PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE| Mike Tenay and Don Callis at the announce desk. Amazing Red beat Petey Williams last month and afterwards Williams attacked Red only for Jerry Lynn to save his partner. Williams is not happy about being overlooked for the TNA Championship Series. New Millennium are not happy about Brothers in Arms getting a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles over them.
Good opening match, these 6 men have met each other in different combinations a number of times. Lynn has previously mentioned his dislike of both New Millennium and Petey Williams’ attitude. Match kept the crowd hot with Red especially impressing and after all 6 men were hitting each other with moves Kendrick caught Williams with a kick to the face which set him up for a TKO from Lynn which Lynn hit to pick up the victory for his team. RESULT| AMAZING RED, BRIAN KENDRICK & JERRY LYNN BEAT NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) & PETEY WILLIAMS
Both New Millennium and Petey Williams were livid with the loss after the bell, Kazarian and Shane were complaining to Traci Brooks while making their way back up the ramp while Williams was still at ringside screaming at Jerry Lynn that he was going to end his career. Coach D’Amore was trying to calm Petey Williams’ down as Kendrick, Lynn and Red continued to celebrate their victory.
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas back in the studio turned their attention to the TNA Championship Series and the final round of round robin matches taking place tonight, including a preview of the finals when the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels takes on Samoa Joe who are both undefeated during the Series, up first Hernandez faces Jeff Jarrett where the loser of the match will finish bottom of the standings before the match the TNA Championship Series rules appeared on screen…
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RULES - 20 Minute Time Limit - 10 Points for a Victory - 5 Points for a Time Limit draw - 2 Points for No Contest, Double Count out etc. - 0 Points for a Loss - -10 points for a loss via disqualification and/or outside interference
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES STANDINGS| 10th| Jeff Jarrett 0 Points – 9th| Hernandez 10 Points – 8th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 7th| Nigel McGuinness 25 Points – 6th| Chris Sabin 25 Points – 5th| Bobby Roode 40 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 60 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 60 Points – 2nd| Samoa Joe 80 Points – 1st| Christopher Daniels 80 Points
MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V JEFF JARRETT| Loser of this match would finish bottom of the standings which neither man wants. Hernandez came into this Series on top form with many believing Hernandez would make a real name for himself during the Series which he hasn’t while Jarrett has claimed since day 1 that he is the biggest star in TNA but during the Series has learned that maybe the business has passed him by. However throughout the Series Jarrett has shown a new attitude of sorts which has saw Jarrett put more effort in and in return has won over some of the crowd and that was the same here tonight with most of the crowd behind Jarrett rather than Hernandez.
Decent match where Jarrett finally managed to pick up his first victory of the Series at his last attempt much to the delight of the crowd, Jarrett scored the victory after escaping Hernandez’ Border Toss, dropping Hernandez with a chop lock before quickly planting Hernandez who now finishes bottom of the Series with his Stroke for the victory. Jarrett seemed taken back by the reception he received post-match where the fans where the fans were on their feet showing their support. RESULT| JEFF JARRETT BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL (JEFF JARRETT: 10 POINTS)
Former TNA champion and top contender to the TNA title Low Ki was shown arriving at the arena ahead of tonight’s TNA championship Main Event.
MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Battle of Britain, Doug Williams has made his intentions of becoming the first British TNA champion very clear but Nigel McGuinness maybe a threat to Williams’ hopes. McGuinness has made a name for himself this past year and has performed well during the TNA Championship Series despite not having the points to show for it. First ever meeting between the two Englishmen here in TNA and it was a very good match both men came close to the victory but after McGuinness managed to avoid Williams’ Tombstone pile driver, McGuinness dropped Williams with his Jawbreaker lariat before locking Williams in his London Dungeon for the impressive tap out victory over the first ever TNA T.V champion. RESULT| NIGEL McGUINNESS BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA TAP OUT (NIGEL McGUINNESS: 10 POINTS)
Former TNA T.V champions, Chris Sabin and Bobby Roode were shown in their respective locker rooms getting ready for their final match of the TNA Championship Series separately when Coach D’Amore entered Roode’s locker room asking Roode for a word before ordering the cameraman to leave them alone.
Video package aired looking over the history between ‘The Monster’ Abyss and his former handler Jim Mitchell. Mitchell brought Abyss into TNA and Abyss dominated and ended the legendary careers of Norman Smiley, Terry Funk and Sabu threatened the career of ‘The Icon’ Sting holds victories over former TNA champions in AJ Styles and James Storm and even put former TNA champion Low Ki on the shelf for over a year with a broken back…
Jim Mitchell alone standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand didn’t waste any time invited ‘The Monster’ Abyss to join him in the middle of the ring. It didn’t take long and Abyss had joined Mitchell in the middle of the ring. Abyss has been desperate for answers over the last couple of months as to why Mitchell turned his back on Abyss and had Chris Hero attempt to “Put Down” Abyss. Mitchell told Abyss he would explain himself to him as long as Abyss stayed back. Mitchell told Abyss he had his word that this was not a set up this was simply a Father figure addressing his “Son”. Mitchell told Abyss that he brought him to TNA to dominate and for them to take the TNA title and run the company and despite a promising start where Abyss ended the careers of legends and beat future TNA champions the truth is when the going got really tough Abyss failed him and Mitchell does not accept failure not even from Abyss! Mitchell told Abyss that Abyss was weak and that hurt Mitchell because Abyss was not who Mitchell thought Abyss was. Abyss said something which couldn’t be heard and Mitchell responded by telling Abyss he never loved him, Abyss was a pet that Mitchell trained to be a killer but Abyss couldn’t get the job done and that’s why Mitchell turned to Chris Hero.
Abyss was clearly hurt with Mitchell’s strong words. Mitchell said he knows his words are hurting Abyss but the truth is if Jim Mitchell had his way Abyss wouldn’t be standing here now in front of him and that’s why Mitchell got sick of waiting for Chris Hero and turned to a real monster a man who truly has a black heart Rhino! Mitchell told Abyss that Rhino would put Abyss down once and for all and Mitchell would watch as if Abyss was any other man because unlike Abyss, Jim Mitchell truly is evil and truly has no emotional attachment to anyone. Mitchell told Abyss that next month live on Pay per View at TNA No Surrender, Mitchell is challenging Abyss to a match on behalf of Rhino and finished by warning Abyss that next month at TNA No Surrender, Rhino would end Abyss career! Abyss didn’t know what to do he was clearly hurt by Mitchell’s words but Abyss’ couldn’t bring himself to put his hands on Mitchell so while Abyss struggled with his conscious by pulling his hair and pacing around the ring Mitchell just laughed at Abyss before leaving the ring.
MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V BOBBY ROODE| Both former TNA T.V champions. Sabin actually beat Roode back at TNA Bound for Glory in November to start his reign as TNA T.V champion and was a fighting champion until losing to current TNA T.V champion CM Punk in June. Mike Tenay wondered what Coach D’Amore wanted to talk with Bobby Roode about. We are still yet to hear from Chris Sabin concerning the beating he received at the hands of Christopher Daniels at the start of the TNA Championship Series which has ultimately killed Sabin’s chances of winning the 2005 TNA Championship Series.
Really good match between two of the fast rising stars on the roster. Both men are starting to carry themselves like stars and the fans are reacting the same way, both have big futures and potentially both could be future TNA champions. Sabin ended up picking up the victory after catching Roode with his Cradle shock. Now the TNA Championship Series is over for Chris Sabin may be he will react to the beating he received from Christopher Daniels when Daniels “beat some respect” into Sabin. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS SABIN: 10 POINTS)
SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER!!
MATCH 5| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG JAMES & KIP JAMES)| GREATNESS’ first title defense since beating Zero Gravity in their spectacular Ladder match at TNA Slammiversary. GREATNESS V Brothers in Arms pits the best tag team in the world today against one of the greatest teams off all time, a true dream match. At the contract signing for tonight’s match it was also clear that both teams don’t think too much of the achievements of the other team and there was not too much respect shown between the teams.
Brothers in Arms are undefeated since joining together here in TNA but that still hasn’t stopped many teams being unhappy that Brothers in Arms are getting a title shot so soon especially New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) who were shown watching backstage during the match. Decent match and despite Brothers in Arms having the size and experience advantage over the champions they never really came close to winning the TNA Tag Team titles with GREATNESS showing their dominance before Aries put Kip away following a Brain buster. Post-match Brothers in Arms showed respect to the TNA Tag Team champions by handing them their titles before all four men raised each other’s hands. RESULT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG JAMES & KIP JAMES) VIA PIN TALL TO RETAIN TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Former TNA champion, Chris Harris was backstage with TNA Reporter Don West heading into his final TNA Championship Series match against Jeff Hardy. West reminded Harris that he has failed to win on the last 4 TNA Pay per Views and regardless of what happens tonight Harris would not be advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series and more importantly would not be challenging for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory. Harris was getting more frustrated the longer West spoke. West asked Harris how he could continue to call himself the face of TNA wrestling with the situation Harris finds himself in. Harris turned to West and intimidated West with his anger before telling West that everyone has doubted him before, tonight against Jeff Hardy he would remind everyone just how good he is and tonight will be remembered as another turning point in the career of Chris Harris. Harris promised when he was all said and done he would be regarded as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
MATCH 6| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JEFF HARDY V CHRIS HARRIS| Both Chris Harris and Jeff Hardy just missed out on advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series but tonight both were looking to finish strong to keep them in the TNA title picture following TNA Bound for Glory. Hardy and Harris are still ranked in the top 6 overall. Really strong match as always the crowd were loud in their support of Hardy and they hate Chris Harris.
Mike Tenay noted at ringside that Norman Smiley has been taking care of the Wildcat Wrestling Academy while Harris has been taking part in the TNA Championship Series but now Harris is done he is going to be taking a more hands on approach to WWA which could mean trouble for the underperforming students.
Harris was desperate to turn around his 4 Pay per View losing streak and tried everything but couldn’t put Hardy away and was getting more frustrated as the match went on. Hardy had his moments too especially after hitting his Whisper in the Wind but after Harris caught Hardy with a Spear it seemed like the match was seconds away from finishing but instead of covering Hardy, Harris wanted to make sure and set Hardy up for his Catatonic only for Hardy to counter at the last second and drop Harris with his Twist of Fate before going up top and nailing Harris with his Swanton Bomb which appeared to give Hardy the 3 count but when the result was announced everyone was left in shock. RESULT| JEFF HARDY V CHRIS HARRIS (DRAW: DOUBLE PIN) (CHRIS HARRIS: 5 POINTS – JEFF HARDY: 5 POINTS)
Both men’s shoulders were down on the mat, Hardy hit the Swanton Bomb and covered Harris with his back but Hardy’s shoulders like Harris’ shoulders were on the mat. Replays confirmed the match officials’ decision. Jeff Hardy questioned the decision with the match official while Chris Harris rolled out of the ring probably just relieved to be leaving with some points but Harris has now gone 5 Pay per Views without picking up a victory. Jeff Hardy was left frustrated knowing he was seconds away from beating a former TNA champion something Hardy is yet to do since coming to TNA.
FRIDAY 26TH AUGUST 2005| TNA IMPACT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V SAMOA JOE!
TNA Reporter, Don West was now with the first ever TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels moments before Daniels’ match against Samoa Joe the final round robin match of the 2005 TNA Championship Series. West asked Daniels how he felt about going up against the undefeated Samoa Joe. Daniels said it cannot be ignored what Samoa Joe has done, Joe has got everyone’s attention and dominated everyone who has stepped in front of him beating former TNA T.V champions, former World champions and former TNA champions but Samoa Joe has never faced anyone like God’s gift to professional wrestling. Daniels in two years has never lost a TNA Championship Series round robin match and after coming up short last year Daniels’ is hungrier than ever and tonight in the middle of the ring Daniels will prove that he and not Samoa Joe is unlike any other man. Daniels vowed to beat Joe tonight, beat Joe in the Finals and once again become the TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
Video was shown looking at the dominance of both Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe during the TNA Championship Series, both men have never lost a TNA Championship Series round robin match and tonight’s match is a preview of the finals which will take place in 2 weeks on TNA IMPACT. Either Christopher Daniels or Samoa Joe will challenge for the TNA championship on the biggest night of TNA’s year at TNA Bound for Glory!
MATCH 7| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V SAMOA JOE| Samoa Joe debuted in June at TNA Slammiversary and has completely dominated everyone who he has faced. Joe won entry into the TNA Championship Series by winning a Battle Royal and holds victories over names like Jeff Jarrett, Bobby Roode, Doug Williams, Chris Sabin, Jeff Hardy and Chris Harris but Christopher Daniels who has never lost a TNA Championship Series round robin match and was the first ever TNA champion is easily the toughest test of Joe’s TNA career.
Big match atmosphere in the crowd, both men have an aura a presence which added to the match. Regardless of the outcome tonight both men would meet in the finals of the TNA Championship Series on TNA IMPACT in 2 weeks where the winner would go on to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory.
It seems it doesn’t matter who stands in front of Samoa Joe and what they may have accomplished in the past because Joe treated Daniels just like everybody else. Daniels as good as he is didn’t have an answer for Joe while Joe countered anything Daniels threw at him. Samoa Joe is a beast and maybe unstoppable. Joe was all over Daniels and while Daniels rocked Joe at times he never troubled Joe and never managed to hit any of his favored moves. Joe on the other hand had great success and managed to put Daniels last year’s runner up and the first ever TNA champion away following his Muscle Buster keeping Joe’s undefeated streak intact! RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL (SAMOA JOE: 10 POINTS)
Samoa Joe just stood up in the ring following the fall and stared out at the crowd as they stood in shock. Joe shows no emotion and just takes care of business. Announcers questioned how you stop Samoa Joe and whether anyone could stop Samoa Joe? Daniels was shown being treated on by TNA officials when Tenay reminded everyone that Daniels has to go through this again in two weeks in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Callis called it now that Samoa Joe would go on to win the 2005 TNA Championship Series and would win the TNA title at TNA Bound for Glory before dominating TNA for as long as he wants too…
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FINALS STANDINGS| 10th| Hernandez 10 Points – 9th| Jeff Jarrett 10 Points – 8th| Doug Williams 20 Points – 7th| Nigel McGuinness 35 Points – 6th| Chris Sabin 35 Points – 5th| Bobby Roode 40 Points – 4th| Jeff Hardy 65 Points – 3rd| Chris Harris 65 Points – 2nd| Christopher Daniels 80 Points – 1st| Samoa Joe 90 Points
Jeremy Borash was now standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand. Borash was scheduled to make a huge announcement but before starting Borash congratulated Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe on reaching the finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series! Borash reminded everyone that the winner of the TNA Championship Series would challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory on Sunday 23rd October 2005. Borash said a lot was going to change before TNA reaches their biggest night of the year and announced that following TNA No Surrender next month the TNA roster will be given an off season until the 1st October when TNA IMPACT will return but on a new network on SPIKE T.V! Borash said TNA continues to grow and TNA management want to use the break to make some changes to TNA as TNA management are always looking to improve TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Borash said the move to SPIKE T.V will allow TNA to continue its growth all of which will make TNA Bound for Glory an even bigger night in the history of TNA wrestling.
Low Ki was standing backstage with TNA Reporter, Don West moments before challenging for the TNA championship. West asked Low Ki for his thoughts on the announcement moments ago and his TNA title match with Low Ki which is moments away. Low Ki told Don West that it appears that TNA is stepping into a new era an era which is currently unknown but what is known is that Low Ki would be heading into the biggest night in the history of TNA at TNA Bound for Glory as the TNA champion. Samoa Joe entered the picture and stepped up into Low Ki’s face and the two men standing eye to eye, Joe looked disgusted by Low Ki. Crowd were going wild in the background. Low Ki V Joe could potentially be the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory. The two men continued to stare at one another before Joe turned and left, Shane Douglas said that was Samoa Joe’s way of telling Low Ki that he was not intimidated by him or anyone else.
MATCH 8| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI| First time ever meeting between James Storm and Low Ki a true dream match between two of the best TNA wrestling has to offer. Storm granted Low Ki this title match because Storm doesn’t want any clouds hanging over his reign as champion and believed people may question why Low Ki had never received a TNA title shot despite being constantly at the top of the rankings so Storm gave Low Ki a title shot.
Winner of this match will head into TNA Bound for Glory as the TNA champion, TNA title will not be defended again before TNA Bound for Glory,
Another big match atmosphere, crowd were loud but split with their support. Including tonight Storm has defended the TNA title on 6 of the last 7 Pay per Views successfully retaining against Jeff Hardy and former TNA champions in Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles! Low Ki and Storm were having a great match which could have gone either way when TNA T.V champion, CM Punk made his way to ringside, Punk has threatened to take the TNA title from James Storm but before Punk could get involved Low Ki saw Punk at ringside, slide out on to the ring apron and dropped Punk with a running kick to the face. TNA officials were quickly out to drag Punk backstage! Punk was livid but we were back down to Storm against Low Ki.
Once Punk was dealt with the match continued and both men were trying desperately to pick up the victory and were exchanging some hot near falls when Low Ki knocked Storm out of the ring with his Tidal Wave springboard roundhouse kick. CM Punk was quickly back at ringside and as Storm was about to get back into the ring Punk spiked Storm with an Even flow DDT on the ringside floor. Punk was about to leave when he changed his mind and went after revenge on Low Ki, Punk dropped Low Ki with a low blow right in front of the match official before spiking Low Ki with his Pepsi Plunge right in the middle of the ring! RESULT| JAMES STORM V LOW KI (NO CONTEST) JAMES STORM RETAINS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP
CM Punk has ruined tonight’s Main Event a dream match for the TNA championship between two of the best in TNA wrestling today. Mike Tenay apologized for Punk’s actions as cameras showed Storm still down at ringside while Punk stood over the fallen Low Ki. CM Punk has cost Low Ki the TNA title. Officials were at ringside ordering Punk from the ring while TNA paramedics came to check on James Storm and Low Ki. Mike Tenay wondered what the fallout would be from CM Punk’s actions as TNA Sacrifice went off the air as CM Punk was escorted back up the aisle.

- MATCH 1| DUSTIN RHODES V BOBBY ROODE| Bobby Roode can come out of the TNA Championship Series with his head held high, Roode gave a good showing of himself finishing in 5th place overall. Roode was seen discussing something with Coach D’Amore before his match at TNA Sacrifice, it’s still unclear, why the most dangerous and calculated man in TNA was seen talking to D’Amore the coach of Petey Williams. Roode continued his good form with another victory over the veteran Rhodes which came following his Fisherman suplex. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT DUSTIN RHODES VIA PIN FALL
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas discussed the 2005 TNA Championship Series before reminding everyone that the finals would take place next week when Christopher Daniels faces Samoa Joe, the winner will go on to challenge for the TNA Championship at TNA Bound for Glory. Later tonight both Daniels and Joe are scheduled to face off ahead of next week’s finals, Borash finished up by introducing highlights from this past Sunday at TNA Sacrifice where Samoa Joe beat the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels following his Muscle Buster which was Daniels first ever loss during the round robin stage of any TNA Championship Series.

Shelley did recently vow to start making people’s lives hell just for his own amusement but still Shelley has been quiet. Both now looking to kick on and are aiming to be a part of next year’s TNA Championship Series. Decent match with a relatively surprising result where Killings picked up the victory after he caught over the over confident Shelley with his Axe kick. Shelley wasn’t happy afterwards and seemed to take his frustration out on Angelina Love as Killings celebrated his victory. RESULT| RON KILLINGS BEAT ALEX SHELLEY VIA PIN FALL
- NEXT PAY PER VIEW| SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER!
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| ABYSS V RHINO W. JIM MITCHELL!
- HIGHLIGHTS| Jim Mitchell at TNA Sacrifice finally explained to Abyss why he turned his back on him much to the heartbreak of ‘The Monster’ Abyss who saw Mitchell as a Father like figure. Mitchell showed no remorse and said after Chris Hero failed him he turned to Rhino and now Rhino would put Abyss down once and for all at TNA No Surrender!
- NEXT WEEK| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V SAMOA JOE!
- TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FINALS FACE OFF| 2005 TNA Championship Series finalists Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels met in the middle of the ring ahead of the finals next week. Jeremy Borash was overseeing the face off. Joe who we have never heard from was out just in plain black shorts and tee while Daniels was out in matching waistcoat and trousers with shirt. Daniels was all business following his defeat to Joe who is still undefeated this past Sunday at TNA Sacrifice in what was a preview of next week’s Finals. Joe just doesn’t care, he seems to look at everyone with disgust. Daniels and Joe were face to face in the middle of the ring as Borash announced that one these men would go on to TNA Bound for Glory in October to challenge for the TNA championship. Daniels took the microphone from Borash and addressed Joe, telling Joe that by beating Daniels last Sunday – Joe guaranteed he would lose next week because no man beats Christopher Daniels twice! Daniels admitted that Joe beat the hell out of him last week but Daniels is like a sponge and now Daniels knows Joe’s strengths and weaknesses and next week would use them against Joe to become the first man to beat Joe. Joe smirked at Daniels’ following his comments. Daniels called Joe chuckles but warned Joe that Daniels is like no man Joe has ever come across before and Joe will find that out next week, telling Joe that what makes Daniels better than everybody else is that no man can claim to have beaten Daniels that Daniels hasn’t beaten himself and Daniels will not allow Joe to be the first! Joe rubbed his nose with his hand, turned and exited the ring. Joe started making his way back up the ramp as Tenay mentioned the disrespect Joe was showing the first ever TNA champion. Callis claimed Samoa Joe plays by his own rules and doesn’t not care about any other man’s reputation or achievements. Daniels wasn’t done and told Joe to listen as he walked before telling Joe the TNA title means you’re the best in the business and at TNA Bound for Glory the biggest night of the year, God’s gift to professional wrestling is once again taking his place at the top of the mountain by any means necessary and that is the Gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
- RINGSIDE| Mike Tenay and Don Callis discussed what they had just seen between Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe ahead of their huge match next week. Callis loves Christopher Daniels and has openly claimed in the past that he believes Daniels is the best wrestler in the world but Callis feels a change in the air and cannot see any man stopping Samoa Joe! Announcers turned their attention to the situation currently involving the TNA championship involving TNA champion, James Storm, Low Ki and TNA T.V champion, CM Punk.
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SACRIFICE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © JAMES STORM V LOW KI WENT TO A NO CONTEST FOLLOWING INTERFERENCE FROM CM PUNK – JAMES STORM RETAINS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP!
- STUDIO| Borash back in the studio and Douglas recapped what happened at TNA Sacrifice. CM Punk who had threatened in the build up to cost James Storm the TNA title at TNA Sacrifice tried to get involved only for Low Ki to drop Punk at ringside which allowed TNA officials to drag Punk from ringside but Punk returned and dropped Storm at ringside with his Even flow DDT but instead of being content that Punk had achieved his mission Punk couldn’t resist and had to get his revenge on Low Ki too and entered the ring and dropped Low Ki with his Pepsi Plunge and the match official had no choice but to call the match off. CM Punk in the end cost Low Ki the TNA championship and not James Storm…
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Backstage at TNA Sacrifice following the Main Event, James Storm came storming out of the office of TNA management and said for the first time ever while TNA champion, Storm has put his foot down and demanded something. What Storm demanded was a match with CM Punk and TNA management agreed to Storm’s demand and now on Saturday 1st October 2005, Storm would get his hands on CM Punk!

Hernandez with a great opportunity tonight despite his poor showing during the TNA Championship Series where Hernandez finished bottom of the standings. Fans hated CM Punk. Match was fine, Hernandez didn’t seem too motivated and Punk was too much for Hernandez and picked up the victory following his Pepsi Plunge. RESULT| CM PUNK BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL
- POST MATCH| CM Punk was handed his TNA T.V title but before Punk couldn’t even think about celebrating Low Ki was in the ring. Crowd went crazy as Low Ki took Punk down and fired away at Punk with right hands, Punk was covering up and trying to get away but Low Ki was like a pit bull. TNA Officials were out but Low Ki was after revenge on the man who took the TNA title away from him. Punk was desperate to get away from Low Ki and eventually Punk managed to squirm his way out of the ring before jumping the railings and running through the crowd. Low Ki stood on the ropes surrounded by officials watching as CM Punk ran. Low Ki screamed “PUNK” as TNA IMPACT went off the air!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| TNA IMPACT opened with a video package looking back over the 2005 TNA Championship Series leading to tonight’s finals between the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and the undefeated Samoa Joe. Only one man can go on to TNA Bound for Glory and challenge for the TNA championship will it be Christopher Daniels or Samoa Joe!
- EARLIER TODAY| Both Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe were shown arriving at the arena earlier today, both looking focused ahead of this huge match.
- TONIGHT| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V SAMOA JOE!
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports, arguably the biggest TNA IMPACT in history as we would determine the top contender to the TNA title tonight. Shane Douglas introduced himself and said following tonight’s show the Main Event for the biggest show of the year TNA Bound for Glory will be set!
- MATCH 1| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)| Nothing more than a showcase match for the TNA Tag Team champions, following on from their victory over Brothers in Arms (BG & Kip James) at TNA Sacrifice. Aries & Strong dominated before Strong made Douglas tap to his Strong Hold. RESULT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) VIA TAP OUT
- POST MATCH INTERVIEW| Don Callis spoke with the TNA Tag Team champions, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong at ringside following the match. Aries told Callis that when they got together they told the world that if they think and act like GREATNESS they will become GREATNESS and now everyone can see that Aries & Strong are GREATNESS and after they beat one of the greatest teams in history at the last Pay per View there is no stopping them and they only want to further cement their legacy as the greatest team alive today!
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) RETURNS!
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash revealed that following the end of last week’s TNA IMPACT where Low Ki tried to get his hands on the man who cost him the TNA title, TNA T.V champion, CM Punk. Tonight we would hear from Low Ki who has some strong words for Punk. Also tonight we would hear from former multi times World champion, Jeff Jarrett.
- MATCH 2| MONTY BROWN V RAY GORDY W. JOHNNY DEVINE & SILAS YOUNG| Before the match Ray Gordy trash talked Monty Brown telling Brown he was jealous of them because while Brown had competed in 2 Super Bowls and was a former TNA Tag Team champions he wasn’t hot and he didn’t have great hair plus Alpha Male Enterprise may have been the biggest brand in TNA at one point but now there was nothing bigger than 3 Hot Blondes! Brown took Gordy apart in seconds and after his Pounce put Gordy away following his Alpha Bomb. Brown has said he will not apologise about his past but is now looking towards the future and proving he is the Alpha Male of TNA Wrestling. RESULT| MONTY BROWN BEAT RAY GORDY VIA PIN FALL
- BACKSTAGE| Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe were both shown preparing for the Finals of the 2005 TNA Championship Series which will take place later tonight in our Main Event.
- INTERVIEW| Jeff Jarrett joined Mike Tenay in the middle of the ring. Jarrett has just finished competing in the TNA Championship Series, only winning the one match and finishing second from bottom but during the Series for the first time in many years the fans actually showed their support to Jarrett. Jarrett admitted to Mike Tenay that he was wrong, everything he has ever said about the TNA Wrestling talent roster was wrong and while Jarrett knew that from day one and just didn’t want to admit it the last couple of months while taking part in the TNA Championship Series has confirmed that and now Jarrett was out here to hold his hands up and show his respect to everyone backstage. Many years ago Jarrett took a turn down a dark road and the longer it went the darker and darker it got to the point where Jarrett was angry at everyone and believed he was entitled to everything! Now Jarrett has seen the light and not just because of the talent but also because of the fans and the way they got behind him, supported him and respected him. Jarrett admitted that losing with the respect of the crowd actually meant more to him that winning a match with a guitar shot and not having the respect of the crowd. Jarrett admitted that he knows that he is always going to have question marks over his career but Jarrett is at peace with that all Jarrett wants to do now is help TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling reach the heights of its potential. Jarrett named names saying he has never seen talent all in one place at one time like AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Low Ki, Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Chris Harris and James Storm, all Jarrett wants to do now is help, so Jarrett is going to talk with TNA management regarding his future but as for tonight Jarrett just wanted to come out and admit he was wrong and that TNA wrestling homes the strongest roster in the world today!
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Doug Williams admitted that the TNA Championship Series did not go to plan but sometimes instead of looking for excuses you have to suck it up and go again…
- MATCH 3| DOUG WILLIAMS V EDDIE COLON W. NORMAN SMILEY| Doug Williams the former TNA T.V champion would have expected to perform better during the TNA Championship Series but like Jeff Jarrett just said the TNA Wrestling roster is the best in the world so expectations are out of the window. Norman Smiley was at ringside, Smiley and Chris Harris have not been happy with the form of all members of the Wildcat Wrestling Academy. Good match with Colon being the pick of the WWA so far but Williams responded well to the disappointment of the 2005 TCS and the Brit managed to put Colon away following his Chaos Theory, RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT EDDIE COLON
- SATURDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2005| TNA IMPACT MOVES TO SPIKE T.V!
- SATURDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2005| TNA IMPACT ON SPIKE T.V| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT| LAST WEEK| MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK BEAT HERNANDEZ| Following the match Low Ki jumped CM Punk looking for revenge, for Punk costing him the TNA title at TNA Sacrifice potentially. Low Ki couldn’t get much revenge as TNA officials held back Low Ki allowing CM Punk run through the crowd.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Low Ki backstage after last week’s TNA IMPACT was fuming and warned CM Punk that he was going to take CM Punk apart. Low Ki has come back from a broken back, missing over a year of his career to challenge for the TNA title and Punk couldn’t resist. Ki told Punk that if he wants to be in TNA title picture he needs to earn the right instead of taking the cheap way. Low Ki told Punk that Punk doesn’t belong at that level and once Ki gets his hands on CM Punk he is going to take him out for good, proving that Punk’s dreams of going down in history as the greatest wrestler of all time are just fantasy!
- BACKSTAGE| Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe were both shown making their way individually from their locker rooms ahead of tonight’s Main Event…
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA SACRIFICE| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL…
- MATCH 4| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V SAMOA JOE| Mike Tenay noted on commentary that TNA champion, James Storm was watching from home. Tenay also announced that the Main Event for the next TNA Pay per View, TNA No Surrender would be announced next week on TNA IMPACT! Easily the biggest match in the history of TNA IMPACT. Daniels/Joe could headline any Pay per View. Winner would challenge James Storm for the TNA title at TNA Bound for Glory! Daniels was very heated last week telling Joe that Joe could not beat him twice. Great match with the story of Daniels trying to topple the beast that is Samoa Joe. While Daniels rocked Joe time and time again, he never really scored a near fall over Joe. Daniels was trying to tire out Joe but even that wasn’t working and eventually Joe got hold of Daniels, dropped Daniels on his head with an Island driver, before hammering a defenceless Daniels with knees to the head. Daniels was out but Joe made sure after smashing Daniels with a Muscle Buster. Samoa Joe is going on to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory! RESULT| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL TO WIN THE 2O05 TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
- POST MATCH| Announcers Mike Tenay and Don Callis were in shock. Christopher Daniels the first ever TNA champion and according to many the greatest wrestler in the world vowed that Samoa Joe would not beat him a second time, not only did Joe beat Daniels a second time he took Daniels apart, Daniels had no answer for Samoa Joe. Christopher Daniels was helped from ringside by TNA officials. Samoa Joe continues to shock, impress and raise the bar. Samoa Joe will now face James Storm for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory! Don Callis closed TNA IMPACT as Samoa Joe casually paced around the ring saying Samoa Joe has turned TNA wrestling on its’ head and predicted that at TNA Bound for Glory the undefeated Samoa Joe would become the new TNA champion!

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| The penultimate episode of TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports opened with Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio. Borash welcomed everyone to the show before the two of them broke some news and announced the Main Event for the next Pay per View on Sunday 11th September 2005 – TNA No Surrender…
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| MAIN EVENT| TOTAL ELIMINATION| CHRIS SABIN, JEFF HARDY, LOW KI & GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V BOBBY ROODE, CHRIS HARRIS, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & NIGEL McGUINNESS!
- STUDIO| Borash and Douglas discussed the rules of a Total Elimination match, saying it would start as a traditional 10 man Elimination match but once an entire team has been eliminated the surviving members of the winning team would face off to determine the winner of the match. Borash noted how victories are important but they are even more important heading into TNA Bound for Glory. Tonight we would hear from Total Elimination entrants Chris Sabin and Chris Harris plus Jeff Hardy will be in action.
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| JERRY LYNN V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE!
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| BROTHERS IN ARMS (BG & KIP JAMES) V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W, TRACI BROOKS!
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks said it came to no surprise to them to see Brothers in Arms fail at TNA Sacrifice because BG & Kip are passed their sell by date and while they were cool in 1998, now they’re fools and come TNA No Surrender they will show that they are future TNA Tag Team champions.
- MATCH 1| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS| TNA Bound for Glory 2004 rematch which New Millennium won, Kazarian & Shane were unlucky not to receive a TNA Tag Team title shot following that victory losing out to Zero Gravity who return at TNA No Surrender. Very good match. Could have gone either way but Petey Williams cost Lynn & Red the match distracting Lynn allowing Kazarian to drop Lynn with his Pump kick for the victory. Lynn and Williams face each other at TNA No Surrender, Lynn already has an issue with Williams’ attitude and his dangerous Canadian Destroyer tonight is just going to add further fuel to the fire. RESULT| NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) BEAT AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL
- HIGHLIGHTS| Footage was shown from TNA IMPACT last week where Jeff Jarrett admitted he was wrong about the TNA Wrestling talent roster calling it the strongest roster in the business and vowed in the future to only do what’s best for TNA wrestling. Jarrett also thanked the fans for their support during the TNA Championship Series.
- TNA NEWS| Jeremy Borash broke further news regarding TNA No Surrender, announcing two more matches signed one would include Jeff Jarrett who has agreed to face a man who has never beaten Jarrett in 4 attempts here in TNA, Ron Killings but most of them matches were not without their controversy. Also a fatal four way has also been booked…
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| RON KILLINGS V JEFF JARRETT!
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| 4 WAY| BRIAN KENDRICK V DOUG WILLIAMS V ALEX SHELLEY V EDDIE COLON!
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| Earlier in the week former TNA T.V champion, Chris Sabin sat down with Mike Tenay to discuss the 2005 TNA Championship Series and what happened between himself and Christopher Daniels. Tenay reminded everyone of the situation. Earlier this year Christopher Daniels was on strike over not receiving a TNA title shot while on strike Daniels did not show up to a scheduled match against Sabin who claimed that Daniels’ had no balls. After Daniels returned from strike the two met in the opening stage of the TNA Championship Series and Daniels “beat some respect” into Sabin leaving Sabin a bloody mess and ultimately cost Sabin from challenging to win the TNA Championship Series. Sabin told Tenay that after what Daniels did to him so many thoughts went through his head, knowing that his Series was probably over Sabin thought about getting revenge and screwing Daniels over, even last week Sabin had to stay at home because he couldn’t guarantee himself that he would not come out and cost Daniels his match against Samoa Joe. Truth is Sabin has come to terms with the fact that Daniels was right and Sabin probably needed to have some respect beat into him. Sabin admitted that he should have kept his mouth shut but now Sabin’s realised that Christopher Daniels does not respect him. Sabin has been making a name for himself these last couple of years, never turning down an opportunity. Sabin has wrestled more matches than anyone else, won the first ever Ladder match is a former TNA T.V champion but the fact is Daniels’ and maybe others do not respect him, may be its’ Sabin’s age maybe it’s Sabin’s chilled out attitude but regardless Sabin now is determined to get everyone’s respect starting with Christopher Daniels!
- MATCH 2| JEFF HARDY V SHAWN DAIVARI W. NORMAN SMILEY| Tenay and Callis at the start of the match spoke about Chris Sabin looking to win the respect of the best in TNA. Tenay called Sabin’s reaction to what happened with Daniels mature and said it may be the making of Sabin. Hardy who teams with Sabin at TNA No Surrender was levels better than the former reporter Shawn Daivari tonight and made easy of Daivari before pinning him following his Swanton Bomb. Hardy will been disappointed at missing out on challenging for the TNA title but can get back in contention with a victory a week Sunday at TNA No Surrender. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT SHAWN DAIVARI VIA PINFALL
- POST MATCH| Post match as Jeff Hardy celebrated his victory former TNA champion, Chris Harris interrupted. Harris who will be on the opposite team to Hardy at TNA No Surrender and wrestled to a draw against Hardy at TNA Sacrifice ignored Hardy as he walked past Hardy on the ramp before bad mouthing Daivari at ringside before telling Norman Smiley he demands more from the students who represent his name. Harris entered the ring where Mike Tenay was now waiting. Harris over the last few months has had to listen to people write him off all over again, question him all over again because Harris hasn’t won on Pay per View since March, failed to regain the TNA title and did not reach the finals of the TNA Championship Series! Harris said people need to accept what is going to happen, everyone needs to embrace the fact that Chris Harris will go on to become the face of professional wrestling, Harris claimed that very soon he would have his day, reminding everyone that he works harder than anybody else and at TNA Surrender he will break his Pay per View losing streak. Harris finished by saying everyone hates him because he achieves his goals and they are jealous of his success but everyone needs to realise that Chris Harris is a professional, Chris Harris is a good man and good things happen to good people!
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| ABYSS V RHINO W. JIM MITCHELL!
- MATCH 3| BRIAN KENDRICK V RHINO W. JIM MITCHELL| Rhino’s TNA IMPACT in-ring debut. Jim Mitchell was in the corner of the ‘Man Beast’ who is a former World champion. Kendrick who is looking to move up the rankings here in TNA proved to be a tough first test for Rhino ahead of his match against ‘The Monster’ Abyss but after blocking Slice Bread No.2 Rhino cut Kendrick in half with a Gore which was enough to win his debut match. Rhino could be a force here in TNA wrestling especially under the guidance of the evil Jim Mitchell. RESULT| RHINO BEAT BRIAN KENDRICK VIA PIN FALL

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
- OPEN| Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to the last episode of TNA IMPACT before this Sunday’s Pay per View – TNA No Surrender and the last TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports. Borash introduced Shane Douglas and the two men in the studio as usual hyped tonight’s show. We would hear from TNA champion, James Storm for the first time since it was confirmed that Storm would defend the TNA title against Samoa Joe at TNA Bound for Glory in October plus we would see a big tag team match pitting the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) against International Hustlers (Sonjay Dutt & TJ Perkins) and former TNA champion, Low Ki will be in action!
- TONIGHT| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM ADDRESSES SAMOA JOE!
- TONIGHT| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS)!
- TONIGHT| LOW KI V KEN PHOENIX W. ALEXIS LAREE!
- MATCH 1| CAPRICE COLEMAN V NIGEL McGUINNESS| Caprice Coleman was at ringside before the match singing to the fans but was quickly interrupted by the British Hooligan, Nigel McGuinness. Tenay noted that we would be seeing more and learning more of Coleman in the coming weeks because Coleman is the latest student to be promoted from the TNA Wrestling Academy. Coleman did well but McGuinness was too much for him on his first night, McGuinness has come out of the TNA Championship Series stronger than he went in and picked up the victory after making Coleman tap to his London Dungeon. RESULT| NIGEL McGUINNESS BEAT CAPRICE COLEMAN VIA TAP OUT
- POST MATCH INTERVIEW| Nigel McGuinness told Don Callis afterwards at ringside that this last year one way or another McGuinness has grabbed everyone’s attention and everyone now realises just how much of a threat he is but nothing he has done previously will compare to what he does at TNA No Surrender to make sure he walks out of the Main Event the sole survivor.
- RECORDED INTERVIEW| TNA Tag Team champions, GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) who are also a part of the Total Elimination match at TNA No Surrender commented on the match and the possibility of facing one another. Aries said it was good to see the greatest tag team alive today back in the Main Event of a Pay per View, which is exactly where they should be. At No Surrender they are out to prove once again that no other team compares to them and if it comes down to Aries and Strong, they’re both big boys and they’ll find out who the better man is on the night but they both know that the TNA Tag Team titles come first.
- STUDIO| Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas ran down the card for TNA No Surrender as well as the Total Elimination Main Event we would also see Abyss face Rhino, Ron Killings take on Jeff Jarrett, a four way between Brian Kendrick, Doug Williams, Alex Shelley & Eddie Colon, Brothers in Arms face New Millennium and Jerry Lynn faces Petey Williams plus Zero Gravity returns!
- MATCH 2| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS)| Very interesting match between two of the most promising teams in TNA, both have a 1:2 win ratio but the Briscoe’s have competed in 4 times as many matches. Dutt is the oldest in the match at 23 so both teams have time on their side but want to be competing for the TNA Tag Team titles ASAP. Really good match, exciting, fast paced, plenty of near falls which the crowd was invested in, Briscoe’s ended up taking the victory after pinning Perkins following their Springboard Doomsday Device. Both teams checked on each other after the match as Tenay noted that the future of the TNA Tag Team division was in good hands. RESULT| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) BEAT INTERNATIONAL HUSTLERS (SONJAY DUTT & TJ PERKINS) VIA PIN FALL
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT| 2 WEEKS AGO| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| SAMOA JOE BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL!

- RECORDED INTERVIEW| TNA champion, James Storm sat down with Mike Tenay in a bar to discuss his upcoming matches with CM Punk and Samoa Joe especially the Joe title match. Storm told Tenay that he would be lying if he said he had not been impressed by Samoa Joe, how can you not? Joe is an animal and is taking no prisoners and showing no remorse but that does not mean that come TNA Bound for Glory, Joe is going to become the TNA champion like many predict. Storm may have never faced anyone like Samoa Joe but Joe has never faced anyone like James Storm and unlike Storm, Joe has never felt the pressure of the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory which with each TNA Bound for Glory is the biggest event in company history. Storm has conquered that pressure and Storm will 100% conqueror Samoa Joe! Storm said he will say all this to Joe’s face at TNA No Surrender but if Joe wants to know what he is in for then Joe can watch the TNA IMPACT debut on SPIKE T.V when Storm kicks CM Punk’s ass!

- SATURDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2005| TNA IMPACT ON SPIKE T.V| MAIN EVENT| CHAMPION V CHAMPION| TNA CHAMPION| JAMES STORM V TNA T.V CHAMPION| CM PUNK!
- STUDIO| Bobby Roode had joined Borash & Douglas in the studio ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Roode will be a part of the Total Elimination match this Sunday at TNA No Surrender. Roode bragged about his performance during the TNA Championship Series saying it confirmed that the ‘Rise of Roode’ was upon us and vowed that it would continue this Sunday. Borash asked about the meeting with Coach D’Amore at TNA Sacrifice but Roode told Borash that he is always up to something because he is the most dangerous and calculated man in the business, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s the long con or the short con Bobby Roode is always one step ahead.
- PRE MATCH INTERVIEW| Ken Phoenix w. Alexis Laree made their entrance for tonight’s final match when Phoenix snatched a microphone from ringside. Phoenix told the fans to say goodbye to the old Ken Phoenix the boy who was lost in the headlights, the boy who thanked his Nana, the boy who was grateful to be here. Phoenix said that boy was lost but now he is found and it’s all thanks to Alexis Laree! Phoenix has risen from the flames, crowd didn’t take Phoenix or his new look/attitude seriously and he was quickly interrupted by an angry Low Ki…
- MATCH 3| LOW KI V KEN PHOENIX W. ALEXIS LAREE| Low Ki who is still angry after being screwed out of the TNA title by CM Punk took Phoenix apart, Phoenix was a lamb to the slaughter. No remorse shown from Low Ki who could get his hands on CM Punk at TNA No Surrender. Following a running dropkick into the corner, a kick to the head, his Ki-Krusher and a jumping Mushroom stomp, Ki finally put Phoenix out of his misery by making Phoenix tap to his Dragon sleeper. Low Ki is coming for CM Punk’s head! RESULT| LOW KI BEAT KEN PHOENIX VIA TAP OUT
- SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2005| TNA NO SURRENDER| MAIN EVENT| TOTAL ELIMINATION| CHRIS SABIN, JEFF HARDY, LOW KI & GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V BOBBY ROODE, CHRIS HARRIS, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & NIGEL McGUINNESS!
