Studio and introduced ‘The Franchise’ Shane Douglas before welcoming everyone to TNA iMPACT! Live on Fox Sports before hyping tonight’s card where would see the final two TNA T.V Championship Quarter final matches. TNA iMPACT! TONIGHT!! TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| QUARTER FINALS| DOUG WILLIAMS V PETEY WILLIAMS W, COACH D’AMORE TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| QUARTER FINALS| HERNANDEZ V BOBBY ROODETIME LIMITAll TNA iMPACT! Matches have a 20 minute time limit… Borash and Douglas before moving on to the TNA T.V title tournament and finding out who will join Antonio Banks and Chris Sabin in next weeks Semi Finals they wanted to take a look back at TNA102 and the start of the Round Robin stage of the TNA Championship Series… Video package aired looking at the TNA Championship Series matches which took place this past Wednesday at TNA102. CM Punk and Raven both used the Even flow DDT to pick up 10 points in their respective opening matches Punk over Hernandez and Raven over his current rival Chris Hero. After the match Chris Hero jumped Raven at ringside. In a high stakes “Double or Nothing’ match Chris Sabin beat Jerry Lynn not only to pick up the available 10 points but also advance to the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. Nice show of respect afterwards shown by both Lynn and Sabin. Christopher Daniels also picked up 10 points after making Doug Williams tap out to his Koji clutch following up his Battle Royal victory last week on TNA iMPACT! and the final TNA Championship Series match of the night saw AJ Styles over come James Storm following his Styles Clash causing more heartache for James Storm. Borash and Douglas in the studio discussed what they learned from the opening night of the TNA Championship Series, they agreed that AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels are the strong favourites to go all the way and win the Series to become the top contender to the TNA title, with CM Punk just behind them but Chris Sabin maybe the wild card the outsider who may surprise everyone. It is also very clear that the war between Raven and Chris Hero is only just getting started and it remains to be seen whether TNA management made the right call putting Hernandez in the Series ahead of Bobby Roode before Shane Douglas addressed James Storm, saying either Storm is not mentally over the shoulder injury or the heartbreaking loss to Christopher Daniels where Daniels made Storm tap out in seconds or simply James Storm is just not ready or good enough to become the TNA champion at this time. Douglas finished by saying James Storm may just have to face facts that he may just not be good enough to challenge for the TNA title. Borash and Douglas said the TNA Championship Series was gruelling, exciting and fascinating and currently all matches in TNA can not be missed as every match in TNA Wrestling means something. The current TNA Championship Series were then shown on screen before the next round up of matches set for this Wednesday live on Pay per View at TNA103 were shown one after another in graphic form… TNA Championship Series current standings…10th – Chris Hero 2 Points 9th – Hernandez 4 Points 8th – Jerry Lynn 6 Points 7th – Doug Williams 10 Points 6th – James Storm 12 Points 5th – Raven 18 Points 4th – CM Punk 24 Points 3rd – Chris Sabin 26 Points 2nd – AJ Styles 28 Points 1st – Christopher Daniels 30 Points TNA103| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHES AJ STYLES V HERNANDEZ JAMES STORM V CHRIS HERO DOUG WILLIAMS V RAVEN CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK JERRY LYNN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELSMore highlights were shown from TNA102 this time from the TNA T.V Championship tournament quickly again showing Chris Sabin advance over Jerry Lynn in their high risk ‘Double or Nothing’ match before more time was spent on the second Quarter final match pitting AME members Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu against one another only Ekmo Fatu did not show up! Resulting in Banks getting a bye to the Semi finals, afterwards Monty Brown said Ekmo Fatu knew his place and was brought in to protect the ‘MVP of AME’ Antonio Banks and the interests of Alpha Male Enterprise… During TNA102 TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson caught up with Antonio Banks for TNA.Com and asked Banks about his victory asking for an update on the whereabouts of Fatu and if Banks was happy with the way he had advanced to the Semi finals. Banks looking conflicting and thinking over his words told Hudson he owes AME a lot and he will repay them by becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion! MATCH 1| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINALS| DOUG WILLIAMS V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE DOUG WILLIAMS| 58% WIN RATE FROM 31 MATCHES PETEY WILLIAMS| 75% WIN RATE FROM 8 MATCHES NOTE| TNA103| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V RAVENPre match comments aired from both Doug and Petey Williams as they made their way to the ring. Coach D’Amore spoke on behalf of Petey Williams saying that he looked Doug Williams in the eye this past Wednesday and D’Amore can see that Williams’ is a beaten man, in over his head and Christopher Daniels proved that by making Williams tap in the middle of the ring and tonight the better Williams’ the Williams from Canada beats the Williams’ from the UK and takes a step closer to becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion. Doug Williams admitted there was a lot going on at the minute but wouldn’t have it any other way and he is focused on not only becoming the top contender to the TNA title but also making history and becoming the first TNA T.V champion because being the first is something nobody can ever take away from you and something that can not be repeated. Williams looks forward to becoming the first TNA T.V champion and setting the standard for all champions that come after him. Doug and Petey had a very exciting wrestling match which saw Petey take advantage after Coach D’Amore distracted Doug Williams outside of the ring. Petey had trouble hitting his Canadian Destroyer on the bigger Doug Williams who had the move well scouted and in the end even though Doug also has his eyes on both the TNA Championship Series and the TNA T.V Title tournament it was Doug who came away with the victory after nailing Petey Williams with a number of knees to the head followed by his Chaos Theory. Following the match Coach D’Amore checked on the fallen Petey Williams as Doug Williams motioned for the TNA T.V title, next week on TNA iMPACT! Doug Williams will face with the winner of tonight’s Hernandez/Bobby Roode match in the Semi finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALLVideo package aired looking at TNA’s newest signing one of the most popular wrestlers in the world today a multi time champion in every division possible the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy! Footage was shown from TNA102 of TNA champion, Chris Harris apologising to Sting for cheating to retain his TNA title against Sting at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY admitting that he made a mistake, Harris asked Sting for his forgiveness. Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas spoke in the studio about Chris Harris’ apology. Douglas questioned how much of Harris’ apology was genuine and said if Harris wants to do the right thing he would grant Sting a rematch at the TNA championship. Jeremy Borash confirmed that Sting would at TNA103 live on Pay per View and would respond to TNA champion, Chris Harris. TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was standing backstage with Bobby Roode and Eric Young ahead of Roode’s TNA T.V Championship tournament match against Hernandez. Bobby Roode was not happy, Roode still can’t believe that he missed out on a spot in the TNA Championship Series to Hernandez and questioned who makes the decisions around here but Roode calmed himself down and said tonight he would show that TNA management made the wrong call by beating Hernandez. Roode reminded everyone of what he says which is Roode always gets what he wants whether it be in the short haul or the long haul because he is the most calculated and dangerous man on the TNA roster and Bobby Roode would become the first TNA T.V champion. MATCH 2| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINALS| HERNANDEZ V BOBBY ROODE HERNANDEZ| 69% WIN RATE FROM 13 MATCHES BOBBY ROODE| 55% WIN RATE FROM 20 MATCHES NOTE| TNA103| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| AJ STYLES V HERNANDEZHernandez won his first 9 matches and had a 90% win rate following his first 10 matches which caused TNA management to place the ‘Mexican Muscleman’ in the TNA Championship Series ahead of Bobby Roode. Hernandez has lost his last 4 matches since winning his first 9 being pinned twice in that time by Christopher Daniels and CM Punk but these defeats have caused people to question Hernandez being placed in the Series. Hernandez tonight was looking to prove not only he deserved to be in the TNA Championship Series ahead of Bobby Roode but also for a spot in the TNA T.V Championship Tournament Semi finals while Roode was looking to prove that TNA management made the wrong call choosing Hernandez over him. Eric Young was banned from ringside. Hernandez followed up his good match with Punk with another exciting match here tonight against Roode. Fans are into Hernandez they like his mix of power and high flying moves but they were left disappointed tonight after Roode managed to beat Hernandez via count out after they were brawling outside of the ring then Roode pushed Hernandez into the ring post before rolling back into the ring to beat the count and advance to the Semi finals next week against Doug Williams. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE VIA COUNT OUTBobby Roode was on his knees motioning for the TNA T.V championship before being joined in the ring by Eric Young while Hernandez was outside of the ring flipping the ring steps in frustration. Hernandez has now lost 5 on the bounce going into his TNA Championship Series match against AJ Styles this Wednesday at TNA103 live on Pay per View. Jeremy Borash and Jeremy Borash back in the studio discussed tonight’s TNA T.V Championship tournament matches which has saw Bobby Roode and Doug Williams to advance to next weeks Semi finals the brackets were then shown showing Doug Williams taking on Bobby Roode in one Semi and Chris Sabin facing Antonio Banks in the other. Footage was then shown from backstage as Doug Williams was speaking with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson for TNA.Com when Eric Young tried to get at Doug Williams only for TNA officials to get in between the two men as Young was screaming at Williams that Bobby Roode would become the first TNA T.V champion as Bobby Roode stood in the background smiling as TNA iMPACT! went off the air not without one more quick plug from Jeremy Borash to join us for TNA103 this Wednesday where the TNA Championship Series will continue.

MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| AJ STYLES V HERNANDEZ AJ STYLES| RANKED 2ND: 28 POINTS HERNANDEZ| RANKED 9TH: 4 POINTS AJ Styles and Hernandez recorded pre match comments earlier today. Hernandez who has lost his last 5 matches after winning his first 9 and while Hernandez admitted he’s mad with his recent form and dropping out of the TNA T.V title on TNA iMPACT! Hernandez knows if he beats AJ Styles in the middle of the ring tonight he’ll be back on track and will ride the momentum all the way to his shot at the TNA title. AJ Styles admitted he had a lot of time for Hernandez and one day Hernandez will be coming after his TNA title but not now because no one is going to stop the ‘Phenomenal One’ from getting his shot at his TNA title.
Hernandez came out more aggressive than we have seen him recently and Hernandez had some luck with that, using his power moves to counter AJ’s speed and high flying. Hernandez came close to scoring the biggest victory of his career after catching AJ in mid air and planting him with a sit out power bomb only for AJ to kick out at the last second. AJ struggled with Hernandez’ size and couldn’t lift Hernandez for his patent Styles Clash but in the end AJ worked round that and after dropping Hernandez with his Pele kick pinned the ‘Mexican Muscleman’ following a springboard 450 splash. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL (AJ STYLES: 10 POINTS)
AJ Styles had his hand raised in victory as Hernandez rolled out of the ring after picking up his 6th defeat in a row. Don Callis said Hernandez is not yet proving that he should have got the final spot in the TNA Championship Series. AJ Styles on the other hand goes to the table of the standings as things stand following up his victory over James Storm with another victory here tonight. AJ Styles signalled for the TNA title while the announcers said if AJ Styles carries on his form nothing will stop AJ Styles from getting what he wants another shot at the TNA championship that AJ Styles should never have lost in the first place.
TONIGHT| STING RESPONDS TO TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS!
Quick footage was shown from TNA102 last week where Chris Harris the TNA champion apologised to Sting for cheating his way to victory over Sting at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY and Harris said he hopes Sting and the fans could find it in their hearts to forgive him. Tonight ‘The Icon’ Sting responds to Chris Harris.
Announcers were shown at ringside, Tenay noted that tonight is a night Chris Harris should be celebrating because tonight Harris has been TNA champion for 6 months but instead much like Harris entire reign as champion, Harris finds himself under scrutiny and finds himself defending recent actions. Borash and Callis agreed with each other for a change when they agreed Chris Harris could right this wrong by granting Sting a rematch at the TNA championship.
MATCH 2| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT| SEMI FINALS| JOHN WALTERS V RYAN O’REILLY NOTE| WINNER FACES KEN PHOENIX AT TNA104 IN THE FINALS OF THE TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT Winner of the TNA Wrestling Academy tournament earns a full time contract and spot on the TNA Roster. Ken Phoenix was shown watching backstage. Walters gave it everything but the big O’Reilly just had too much for Walters before putting Walters away with Claw slam. Ryan O’Reilly has looked dominant throughout the TNA Wrestling Academy tournament is now one match away from winning a full contract and spot on the TNA Roster. RESULT| RYAN O’REILLY VIA PIN FALL
Backstage TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was about to speak with Chris Sabin who was standing beside him when they were interrupted by CM Punk. The ‘Second City Saint’ got in Sabin’s face and told Sabin that this was a big week for Sabin tonight he faces him and then this Friday on TNA iMPACT! Sabin is in the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. Punk told Sabin unfortunately for Sabin he is in for the worst week of his life because after Punk beats Sabin to within an inch of his life Antonio Banks will then eliminate Sabin from the tournament and both Sabin’s hopes and dreams will be crushed. Punk asked Sabin if he will be able to handle that level of disappointment because Punk has too after twice wrestling for the TNA title and even though Punk was never beaten he is still standing here without the TNA title and if Punk can not have the TNA title then he will make sure everyone feels as crushed and disappointed as he does now until he finally becomes the TNA champion and proves to everyone that his mission in life is too go down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time. Sabin chuckled in Punk’s face before calling Punk crazy and walking off…
MATCH 3| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK CHRIS SABIN| RANKED 3RD: 26 POINTS CM PUNK| RANKED 4TH: 24 POINTS NOTE| FRIDAY ON TNA iMPACT!| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| SEMI FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V ANTONIO BANKS CM Punk holds a previous victory over Chris Sabin from the Main Event of TNA65 back in October in what was a great match and tonight’s match may have been even better. Sabin and Punk ranked 3rd and 4th respectively looking to keep in touch with the early leaders AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels.
Sabin rocked Punk with his Hesitation drop kick and came close to victory following a tornado DDT while Punk smashed Sabin with a shining wizard which Punk thought would bring him the victory but Sabin too kicked off. Sabin countered Punk’s Even flow DDT and set Punk up for his Cradle shock but Punk too escaped and smashed Sabin hard into the turnbuckle with a power bomb before nearly breaking Sabin’s jaw following a running knee. From here Punk started toying with Sabin taking his time and mocking both Sabin and the crowd in between dropping Sabin with moves but Sabin then shocked Punk with a hurrican-rona into a pin attempt and it was enough to keep Punk down for the 3 count. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS SABIN: 10 POINTS)
Chris Sabin rolled straight out of the ring after the fall and Punk jumped to grab Sabin also. The match official followed Chris Sabin out and raised Sabin’s arm in victory as CM Punk leaned against the middle rope on his knees with his head in his hands. Shane Douglas said on TNA iMPACT! that Chris Sabin was the one to keep and eye on and Douglas’ has been proven right. CM Punk was left fuming in the ring again, Tenay said CM Punk has no one to blame but himself and Borash even mocked Punk a little saying in Punk’s head he probably didn’t even lose this match just like he never lost to AJ Styles in their TNA championship match. Chris Sabin heading into his Semi Finals match against Antonio Banks with huge momentum.
Announcers were shown at ringside reacting to Chris Sabin’s huge victory, saying the victory currently moves Chris Sabin up to second in the table behind AJ Styles with Christopher Daniels still to wrestle tonight against Jerry Lynn the announcers then turned their attention to ‘The Icon’ Sting who was scheduled to react to Chris Harris cheating him out of the TNA championship and his apology up next…
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring introduced his guest the multi time World champion, ‘The Icon’ Sting!! Lights went out in the arena before a spotlight shone on the entrance way before Sting stepped out to a huge ovation. Sting made his way down the aisle in his black trench coat and carrying his trademark black baseball bat as the spotlight followed.
Sting entered the ring and stood beside Daivari as the fans chanted Sting’s name. Daivari quickly reminded Sting of what has happened over the last couple of weeks at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, Chris Harris used the ring ropes to beat Sting and retain the TNA title and then last week Chris Harris came out here and in Harris’ own words like a man owned up to his mistake admitted he was wrong, apologised to Sting and everyone else before asking for everyone’s forgiveness. Sting cut Daivari off right at the end and took the microphone from Daivari. Sting said he heard earlier tonight Mike Tenay say that Chris Harris has been the TNA champion for 6 months, Sting said Harris may have held the title for 6 months but he has been no champion and Harris proved that again two weeks ago when Harris took the cowards way out!
Sting was fuming. Sting called Chris Harris a coward and said everything Chris Harris stands for is bull. Sting reminded everyone that 2 weeks ago Chris Harris said he doesn’t think Sting respects him and Sting told Chris Harris he was right he does not respect him! Sting said he can not respect a man who preaches one thing and does the exact opposite. Sting told Harris he does not accept his apology and he does not forgive him because they are only words and the solution to their problem needs an action and it’s a simple action. Sting went off track a little to tell the fans that Chris Harris the man who never has a day off is not here tonight. Sting told Chris Harris if he wants his respect and the respect of the fans he will agree to give Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Sting told Harris he and everyone else awaits his response… It’s Showtime Chris!
Announcers said in the year that Sting has been apart of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling they have never seen Sting so worked up and now they like everyone else awaits TNA champion, Chris Harris’ response. Will Harris give Sting a rematch, another shot at the TNA championship.
MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JAMES STORM V CHRIS HERO JAMES STORM| RANKED 6TH: 12 POINTS CHRIS HERO| RANKED 10TH: 2 POINTS HIGHLIGHTS| SHANE DOUGLAS ON TNA iMPACT! QUESTIONED WHETHER JAMES STORM HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME THE TNA CHAMPION Recorded pre match comments aired from both Chris Hero and James Storm. Hero sitting in a room with Heroes for Villains (Briscoe Brothers, Brent Albright & Lance Archer) sitting around him was still angry about his defeat to Raven last week. Hero told Raven that last week he got lucky and repeated his words from last week that Raven hasn’t seen anything yet if Raven thinks Abyss is a monster he hasn’t seen anything yet and neither has anyone else in TNA. Chris Hero reminded everyone that he gave Sting the fight of his life he intimidated Roddy Piper and he beat the hell out of Shane Douglas and he did all of that just because he could. Hero asked Raven to think about what he could do to Raven especially now Hero wants to mess with and hurt Raven.
A pumped up but frustrated James Storm said lately he’s sick and tired of people writing him off. James Storm quit, James Storm can’t, James Storm will never! I can and I will said Storm. The doubters and the hurt it’s all driving the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ to go on to win the TNA Championship Series and Storm stands by his words that all he needs is one opportunity at the TNA title because one opportunity is all it will take to become the new TNA champion.
Nobody has wrestled more single matches in the 2 year history of TNA and only Chris Harris has more victories than Storm but with a victory tonight Storm could equal Harris’ 33 victories. The problem with Storm is, Storm has only won 1 Main Event and has never really won a big high profile match. Storm and Hero had a very intense and entertaining brawl which the fans were really into. While people are questioning Storm at the minute Chris Hero is also desperate to get off the bottom of the table and challenge for a shot at the TNA championship. Again Heroes for Villains were banned from ringside.
Storm managed to come back from last weeks defeat to AJ Styles and pile more misery on top of Chris Hero after Hero set Storm up for his Roaring Elbow but after Hero turned and was about to strike Storm caught Hero with his Super kick knocking Hero out and giving Storm the much needed victory. RESULT| JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL (JAMES STORM: 10 POINTS)
James Storm sat in the middle of the ring taking in the victory while the match official raised his hand in victory before jumping to his feet all pumped up. Storm leaned over the ropes telling everyone that they better believe in James Storm. Before Storm walked around the ring repeating “I can and I will”. Announcers admitted tonight was a big victory for James Storm but it remains to be seen whether Storm can do it over a consistent period.
Chris Hero was helped from ringside by Heroes for Villains as James Storm continued to celebrate and motion for the TNA championship tonight may turn out to be a milestone night, a turning point in the career of the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm!
Announcers turned their attention to what was scheduled to take place this Friday on TNA iMPACT! live on Fox Sports. We would see the 2 TNA T.V Championship Tournament Semi final matches when Chris Sabin takes on Antonio Banks and Doug Williams faces Bobby Roode. Also we would hear from both GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) ahead of Match 4 of their Best of 5 Series to determine the next top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles which will be the Main Event of TNA104 next week because if GREATNESS win they will become the top contenders to Alpha Male Enterprise’s (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) titles. MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS V RAVEN DOUG WILLIAMS| RANKED 7TH: 10 POINTS RAVEN| RANKED 5TH: 18 POINTS NOTE| FRIDAY ON TNA iMPACT!| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| SEMI FINALS| DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE Doug Williams’ opponent this Friday on TNA iMPACT! Bobby Roode was shown sitting in the crowd alongside Eric Young to scout Williams’ before their Semi final match.
Raven’s been on a roll lately, he’s came back strong since failing to beat Chris Harris for the TNA championship. Williams and Raven made for an interesting match due to their different styles. Fans were split between the two may be just favouring Raven a little more. Williams looking to take some momentum into his Semi final with a big victory over Raven the former World champion but Raven made it tough and the match could have gone either way but in the end it was Doug Williams who picked up the victory after he countered Raven’s Even flow DDT with a Northern lights supflex for the victory. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (DOUG WILLIAMS: 10 POINTS)
Raven took defeat like a man and rolled out of the ring knowing he still had time to make this defeat back and still has to face everyone above him in the standings still in the Series. Doug Williams celebrated his victory before noticing Bobby Roode in the crowd and Williams took delight in motioning for the TNA T.V title which caused Eric Young to snap, Young tried to jump the railings and get at Doug Williams but Bobby Roode just smiled at Doug Williams while Don Callis reminded everyone that Bobby Roode is the most calculated and dangerous man on the TNA roster. Video package aired looking at TNA’s newest signing one of the most popular wrestlers in the world today a multi time champion in every division possible the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy!
Announcers quickly mentioned how over the next few weeks we would hear and see more from Jeff Hardy but they announced next weeks TNA Championship Series matches which include some crackers…
TNA104| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHES HERNANDEZ V CHRIS HERO JERRY LYNN V DOUG WILLIAMS RAVEN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS JAMES STORM V CM PUNK AJ STYLES V CHRIS SABIN
Footage was shown of Jerry Lynn throughout the night getting ready for tonight’s Main Event. Lynn is former World champion and openly admits his career is doesn’t have too many years left but Lynn also admits that he dreams of becoming the TNA champion. Lynn privately has told Mike Tenay that he knows winning the TNA Championship Series will be his last opportunity at challenging for the TNA title and promises to give his all. Tenay noted that if the TNA Championship Series started tonight Lynn would not be entered into the Series because he has dropped out of the overall TNA top 10 rankings.
Christopher Daniels was backstage with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of the final TNA Championship Series match of the evening. Daniels told the fans not to expect miracles tonight, don’t be hoping that Jerry Lynn manages to pull of a major upset because its not going to happen there is no Cinderella story here there is no happy ending here, time has past Jerry Lynn by and now its Christopher Daniels’ time! Daniels is levels above everybody else, Daniels truly is a gift from God and he will win the first ever TNA Championship Series, making history in the process again and will go on to become the TNA champion once again and that is the gospel according to the Fallen Angel…
MATCH 6| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JERRY LYNN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS JERRY LYNN| RANKED 7TH: 6 POINTS CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| 1ST: 30 POINTS NOTE| TNA20| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JERRY LYNN Christopher Daniels has the highest win rate of any active TNA wrestler with 80% winning 28 of his 35 matches and has only ever lost to former TNA champions (AJ Styles and Low Ki).
Lynn and Daniels had a very good match and the fans were right behind Jerry Lynn hoping he could prove Daniels wrong and beat him. Fans had their hearts in their mouths on a couple of occasions especially after Lynn managed to drop Daniels with his TKO but Daniels just about managed to kick out. Daniels trapped Lynn in his Koji clutch which has made a number of wrestlers tap including James Storm and Doug Williams last week but Lynn was too close to the ropes tonight much to the delight of the crowd.
Match was coming close to the 20 minute mark, potentially resulting in the first time limit draw of the TNA Championship Series but Daniels managed to avoid that and finally put Lynn away after nailing Lynn with his Last Rites before making sure Lynn was done after planting him with his Angels Wings. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
Christopher Daniels is still undefeated in the TNA Championship Series, has a maximum 40 points from the opening 3 matches. Fans were booing the fact Daniels won but standing in respect to Jerry Lynn and because of the quality of match they had just witnessed.
Jerry Lynn received a standing ovation as he was escorted backstage; Mike Tenay noted we may have just seen the last great performance out of Jerry Lynn.
TNA Championship Series current standings…
10th – Chris Hero 2 Points 9th – Hernandez 4 Points 8th – Jerry Lynn 6 Points 7th – Raven 18 Points 6th – Doug Williams 20 Points 5th – James Storm 22 Points 4th – CM Punk 24 Points 3rd – Chris Sabin 36 Points 2nd – AJ Styles 38 Points 1st – Christopher Daniels 40 Points
After the updated standings were shown Christopher Daniels was still in the ring celebrating his victory and motioning for the TNA championship as Mike Tenay asked the question who could stop Christopher Daniels from winning the TNA Championship Series. Don Callis said no one could stop Christopher Daniels and we are watching greatness, which remains to be seen. TNA103 went off the air with Christopher Daniels on his knees in the middle of the arms out wide and his head up to the sky. Christopher Daniels may truly be Gods gift to professional wrestling.

Borash, Daivari and Douglas before moving on to the in ring action introduced a video package looking back at the TNA Championship Series matches which took place this past Wednesday live on Pay per View at TNA103…
James Storm managed to rebound from his loss in the opening set of matches to AJ Styles by beating Chris Hero following his Super kick leaving Hero at the bottom of the rankings with 2 points. Hero’s current rival Raven did not fare much better after Raven came up short against Doug Williams after Williams surprised Raven with a Northern lights supflex. In a battle of 3rd against 4th it was Chris Sabin who scored what some would call an upset over CM Punk, in what was the match of the night Sabin scored arguably the biggest victory of his career. However it is still AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels that lead the way and continue to show why they are a level above everyone else currently both former TNA champions were victorious AJ over the much bigger Hernandez while Christopher Daniels beat Jerry Lynn. After 3 matches; Christopher Daniels the first ever TNA champion leads the way with 40 points.
Borash, Daivari and Douglas quickly spoke about the results from TNA103 this past Wednesday. Shane Douglas refused to admit he was wrong about James Storm being good enough to become the TNA champion but Douglas did give Storm credit for beating the very dangerous Chris Hero. All 3 announcers agreed that Chris Sabin and Doug Williams have great momentum behind them after their very impressive victories this past Wednesday but Shane Douglas believes that no one will be able to stop AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels from running away with the series. Douglas said while everyone else is very good, AJ and Daniels are great and both the former TNA champions are in the form of their lives. The current standings following TNA103 appeared on the screen before next weeks TNA Championship Series matches were discussed as they appeared on screen in graphic form…

BSB are trying to rediscover their form after failing to become the TNA Tag Team champions for a second occasion. BSB have not managed to put together consecutive victories since losing to AME. Box Office are a young team but full of confidence but BSB finally managed to put together two victories after York pinned Eckos following their Hangman DDT. Christian York and Joey Matthews celebrated afterwards like they had just won the TNA Tag Team titles as they know how important it was to finally score back to back victories. RESULT| BAD STREET BOYS VIA PIN FALL
Video package aired looking at TNA’s newest signing one of the most popular wrestlers in the world today a multi time champion in every division possible the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy!
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was standing backstage with Bobby Roode ahead of Roode’s Semi finals match against Doug Williams. Bobby Roode looked confident and reminded Hudson that Roode was over looked for a spot in the TNA Championship Series for Hernandez and last week Roode proved that TNA management had made a mistake when he beat Hernandez and eliminated him from the tournament and tonight Roode is going to do the same to Doug Williams. Bobby Roode is the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA today and that will see Bobby Roode gets what he wants and that is the TNA T.V title because in the end Bobby Roode always gets what he wants.
Doug Williams was shown leaving his locker room as Jeremy Borash noted that the contract signing for the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament would take place this Wednesday live on Pay per View at TNA104.
MATCH 2| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| SEMI FINALS| DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE DOUG WILLIAMS| 60% WIN RATE FROM 33 MATCHES BOBBY ROODE| 57% WIN RATE FROM 21 MATCHES NOTE| TNA104| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JERRY LYNN (8) V DOUG WILLIAMS (6) Williams and Roode had a very good match it has really been total non-stop action for Williams recently with competing in both the TNA Championship Series and the TNA T.V Championship tournament. Roode came close after to advancing to the finals after catching Williams off guard with a Spine buster and later came close again after hitting his block buster but on both occasions Williams managed to kick out.
There was then some controversy as Williams and Roode fought outside of the ring the match official jumped out to get both men back into the ring but when the official landed he went over on his ankle and crumbled to the floor as Roode and Williams re-entered the ring. Roode was down as Williams from the ring checked on the official which allowed Roode to nearly take Williams’ head off with his lariat to the back of the head. Roode covered Williams but with the match official down there was no one to make the count. Roode had Williams down for longer for 3 seconds. Eric Young then stormed down the aisle and pulled the official to his feet screaming at him in the process before tossing him back into the ring only to see Williams surprise Roode with a small package which shocked Roode long enough for Williams to hold Roode down for the 3 count and advance to the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Bobby Roode sat up in shock, mouth open wide as Doug Williams rolled out of the ring hurt from Roode’s lariat. Eric Young lost it and was now in the ring pulling the match official around by his shirt screaming at him that Bobby Roode won the match. Bobby Roode was still in shock as a number of officials came out to calm down the crazy Eric Young.
Announcers Mike Tenay and Don Callis agreed that Bobby Roode had Doug Williams down for the 3 count but they could not condone the actions of the uncontrollable, unstable Eric Young. Bobby Roode can feel hard done by tonight but the fact remains Doug Williams has advanced to the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament.
Footage aired from TNA103 this past Wednesday live on Pay per View when ‘The Icon’ Sting responded to TNA champion, Chris Harris’ apology. Sting called Chris Harris a coward and admitted that he does not respect Chris Harris and questioned everything Harris says he stands for. Sting told Harris there was only one way to solve their issue and that was for Chris Harris to be a man and agree to give Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Sting told Harris he would await his response.
Borash, Daivari and Douglas admitted they have never seen Sting so worked up here in TNA before touching on Sting’s strong words for the TNA champion, Chris Harris. Shawn Daivari revealed that he has learned that Chris Harris will again not appear this Wednesday at TNA104 saying that there is enough going on with the Best of 5 Series and the TNA Championship Series but Harris will return at TNA105 and will respond to Sting and is willing to face Sting in the middle of the ring. TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was standing by with Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu ahead of Banks Semi finals match against Chris Sabin. Hudson was surprised to see Fatu as Fatu never showed up for his Quarter finals match against Antonio Banks and Hudson started to question Fatu on his whereabouts when TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) walked on set. Brown took the microphone and told Hudson not to worry about where Fatu was they have already gone over that all anyone should be talking about tonight is Antonio Banks because the MVP of AME is about to beat Chris Sabin and take one step closer to becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion.
MATCH 3| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| SEMI FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V ANTONIO BANKS CHRIS SABIN| 64% WIN RATE FROM 37 MATCHES ANTONIO BANKS| 52% WIN RATE FROM 19 MATCHES NOTE| TNA104| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| AJ STYLES (2) V CHRIS SABIN (3) Alpha Male Enterprise was banned from ringside tonight as all non managers/valets have been throughout the TNA T.V Championship tournament.
Like Doug Williams earlier, Chris Sabin has been competing in two high stake matches per week for a number of weeks now while Antonio Banks has barely competed over the last few weeks. Banks didn’t even have to compete to reach the Semi finals as Banks opponent Ekmo Fatu didn’t show up and Banks advanced via forfeit.
Sabin may be coming off one of if not the biggest victory of his career over CM Punk this past Wednesday but that didn’t stop Antonio Banks beating Sabin down throughout the match. Sabin came back into the match and the two exchanged near falls before Banks missed a kick in the corner which allowed Sabin to drop Banks with his Cradle shock in the middle of the ring for the victory. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL
Fans were on their feet for Chris Sabin advancing to the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. We now know that next week either Chris Sabin or Doug Williams will make history and become the first ever TNA T.V champion. Chris Sabin was leaning over the ropes motioning for the TNA title as Doug Williams was shown watching backstage.
Antonio Banks sat in ringside in shock with the loss until Ekmo Fatu came out and pulled Antonio Banks to his feet before escorting the distraught Banks backstage as the announcers wondered how AME would react to Antonio Banks loss when they have made it clear the only thing they are interested in is Antonio Banks becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion. As Fatu consoled Banks TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) came out on stage and watched as the announcers reminded everyone of AME’s cut throat attitude and what they did to D’Lo Brown once AME felt D’Lo had let the brand down.
NEXT WEEK| TNA iMPACT!| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS!
TNA104| MAIN EVENT| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 4| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Back in the studio Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas spoke about the Best of 5 Series between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) as previous meetings aired over while their history was discussed. GREATNESS currently lead the series going into the 4th match 1-0 knowing if they win at TNA104 this Wednesday live on Pay per View they will have won the series and will be the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Zero Gravity have never beat GREATNESS. Recorded comments then aired from both teams as TNA iMPACT! Went off the air…
Austin Aries spoke on behalf of him and Roderick Strong saying GREATNESS is a way off life; it’s a mentality which separates them from everybody else some people call it arrogance but they call it believing in themselves and they believe that this Wednesday live on Pay per View they will beat Zero Gravity win the Best of 5 Series and become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles and then very soon they will finally end the reign of Alpha Male Enterprise and become the new TNA Tag Team champions. Zero Gravity with Paul London doing most of the talking said first people questioned their desire due to the fact they didn’t kick up a stink after being screwed out of the TNA Tag Team titles and now people are questioning whether they can beat GREATNESS, London and Sydal laughed said they can’t help it that they two chilled out cool dudes and said this Wednesday everyone will see how much they want the TNA Tag Team titles and everyone will see they can beat GREATNESS. Sydal finished up by saying what he said…

MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| AJ STYLES V CHRIS SABIN AJ STYLES| RANKED 2ND: 38 POINTS CHRIS SABIN| RANKED 3RD: 36 POINTS NOTE| AJ STYLES 33 WINS IS JOINT FIRST OVERALL TIED WITH BOTH TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS & JAMES STORM NOTE| 16.07.04| TNA IMPACT! |TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS Big way to kick off tonight’s in ring action with 2nd and 3rd place in the TNA Championship Series going at it. Both men are on great form currently Sabin winning his last 3 matches including arguably his career best last week at TNA103 when he beat CM Punk. AJ the former TNA champion is also in great form with recent victories also over CM Punk in a Steel Cage match plus victories over Petey Williams, James Storm and Jeff Hardy! Winner of tonight’s match will go top of the standings at least for the time being, current leader Christopher Daniels faces Raven later tonight.
Great match up there with the best matches in TNA history with both men bringing their A game and both showing how desperate they are to earn a future shot at the TNA title. Sabin has proven time and time again over the last year that he belongs with the best TNA has to offer and tonight Sabin came close on a number of occasions to beating AJ Styles. Beating a former TNA champion would have give Sabin great momentum heading into the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament this Friday but it was not to be and in the end AJ finally managed to put Sabin after and dropping Sabin with his Styles Clash. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL (AJ STYLES: 10 POINTS)
AJ Styles was slow to his feet feeling the effects of a hard fought match before having his hand raised in victory. AJ Styles was cheated out of the TNA title back in January and is desperate to get his hands back on the TNA title and now with this victory AJ Styles is sitting atop of the table knowing that the top 2 will meet with the winner going on to challenge for the TNA championship. AJ and Sabin shook hands in a nice sign of respect just before AJ rolled out of the ring. Chris Sabin has nothing to be ashamed of in defeat and could rebound quickly by becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion this Friday on iMPACT! Later tonight Sabin will be back out to sign the contract with Doug Williams for their history making match.
GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity were both shown getting ready for tonight’s Main Event. Zero Gravity know the pressure is on and tonight is a must win match because if they lose tonight Austin Aries and Roderick Strong will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles and Zero Gravity have never beaten GREATNESS in any contest…
MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JERRY LYNN V DOUG WILLIAMS JERRY LYNN| RANKED 8TH: 6 POINTS DOUG WILLIAMS| RANKED 6TH: 20 POINTS NOTE| 16.07.04| TNA IMPACT! |TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS Highlights aired from TNA103 last week where Jerry Lynn may have put on the last great performance of his career when he tested the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels in the Main Event. Announcers praised Lynn’s performance but questioned whether Lynn could bounce back after putting in so much effort last week.
Doug Williams beat Bobby Roode in the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament this past Friday on TNA iMPACT! But it was not without controversy as during the match the match official got hurt and while he was down it seemed Bobby Roode had Williams beat following a lariat to the back of the head. Since iMPACT! Bobby Roode has continuously complained to TNA management.
Lynn and Williams had a good technical match but the announcer’s worst fears were found to be true as Lynn was nowhere near top form tonight and once Williams got the advantage he never let up and finally put Lynn away following his Chaos Theory. Doug Williams following up his victory over Raven with a win over a 2nd World champion Jerry Lynn. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL (DOUG WILLIAMS: 10 POINTS) Jerry Lynn sat disappointed after the bell until his partner Amazing Red came out to console his partner, friend and mentor. Like the opening match Doug Williams and Jerry Lynn showed great respect to one another with Williams raising Lynn’s hand in victory. Announcers questioned whether Jerry Lynn should carry on in the tournament knowing that Lynn would have to compete every week for 9 consecutive weeks.
Doug Williams celebrated afterwards and motioned for the TNA T.V championship and shortly Williams will be back out here with Chris Sabin to sign the contract to make their TNA T.V Championship match official.
Footage aired from TNA103 last Wednesday live on Pay per View when ‘The Icon’ Sting responded to TNA champion, Chris Harris’ apology. Sting called Chris Harris a coward and admitted that he does not respect Chris Harris and questioned everything Harris says he stands for. Sting told Harris there was only one way to solve their issue and that was for Chris Harris to be a man and agree to give Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Sting told Harris he would await his response.
Borash, Callis & Tenay were shown on camera sitting at ringside discussing the situation between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Tenay confirmed what was revealed on iMPACT! This past Friday that TNA champion, Chris Harris was not here tonight but Chris Harris will return next week at TNA105 and Harris has invited Sting to join him in the middle of the ring so they can discuss their problems face to face like men.
TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson was standing backstage with former TNA champion and current TNA Championship Series leader, AJ Styles following AJ’s victory over Chris Sabin earlier tonight. Hudson congratulated AJ before asking AJ for his thoughts on tonight’s match and the TNA Championship Series in general. AJ gave Sabin all credit and brought out the best in AJ and one day AJ will love to do it again and maybe next time for the TNA title before AJ could go any further he was interrupted by Christopher Daniels. Daniels and AJ stood face to face before Daniels told AJ not to get to comfortable at the top because Daniels will be taking his spot back later tonight before going to walk off only for AJ to pull Daniels back. AJ told Daniels he may get top spot back tonight but soon enough they have to face each other and on that night AJ will beat Daniels in the middle of the ring just like the last time they met, Daniels looked worried as AJ walked off getting the last word tonight.
MATCH 3| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT| FINALS| KEN PHOENIX V RYAN O’REILLY NOTE| WINNER WINS A FULL TIME CONTRACT WITH TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING Quick pre match comments aired from both men Ken Phoenix was just thankful for the opportunity and will give his all tonight while the much bigger Ryan O’Reilly the expert’s favourite simply said tonight he would take his spot on the TNA Roster.
Reilly who holds a previous victory over Phoenix in a tag match dominated Phoenix throughout the match but Phoenix stayed in the match before O’Reilly missed a tackle in the corner hitting the ring post hard and Phoenix quickly took advantage rolling 0’Reilly up for the victory! Ken Phoenix has earned a full time spot on the TNA Roster. Phoenix was in shock afterwards hugging the match official before dropping to his knees and bursting into tears. RESULT| KEN PHOENIX VIA PIN FALL
Following the match Ken Phoenix went around ringside attempting to shake hands with some fans but most were ignoring or insulting Phoenix not impressed with Phoenix’s nice guy character. Phoenix shook hands with the announcers screaming into the camera “Granny I did it!” Don Callis said Ken Phoenix gets on his nerves and asked where Alexis Laree was to beat up Ken Phoenix again before the announcers turned their attention to the next match of the evening between Raven and Christopher Daniels in the TNA Championship Series…
MATCH 4| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| RAVEN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS RAVEN| RANKED 7TH: 18 POINTS CHRISTOPHER DANIELS| RANKED 1ST: 40 POINTS NOTE| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS IS RANKED 1ST NOT JUST IN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES BUT ALSO IN THE OVERALL RANKINGS WITH A 80% WIN RATE Due to AJ Styles’ victory earlier tonight over Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels is now down in second place in the rankings but that is still enough to make it to the finals of the TNA Championship Series as the top 2 will face off following the Round Robin format to determine the top contender to the TNA Championship currently held by Chris Harris who has been champion for over 6 months.
Before the match as Raven made his way out on to the stage he was jumped from behind by Heroes for Villains members Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), Brent Albright and Lance Archer they managed to drop Raven and get in a few shots before a number of TNA officials and agents managed to stop the attack and order H4V backstage. The match official asked Raven whether he wanted to continue with tonight’s match but Raven luckily wasn’t seriously hurt and stormed to ringside.
Raven and Daniels two recent challengers for the TNA title put on a good brawl, Raven looking to become the first non-former TNA champion to beat Daniels while Daniels was looking to return to the top of the TNA Championship Series standings and in the end Daniels managed to do just that after Daniels managed to counter Raven’s Even flow DDT and spike Raven with his Angels Wings. Christopher Daniels returns to the top the TNA Championship Series with a maximum 50 points from 50 available. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
As Christopher Daniels was celebrating Raven was shown standing at ringside clearly fuming with not only the outcome of the match but the pre match attack by Heroes for Villains orchestrated by Chris Hero. Announcers questioned how Raven would respond and the announcers revealed that Chris Hero would be in action next against Hernandez…
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was backstage with Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) ahead of tonight’s must win Main Event against GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong). Paul London said they are sick and tired of talking about their doubters tonight they beat GREATNESS in the middle of the ring and then they will do it again in the final match of the series to become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) interrupted and Matthews told Zero Gravity that he liked their confidence and they are both pulling for London and Sydal to pull out the victory and even go on and become the TNA Tag Team champions. BSB were about to leave when York reminded Zero Gravity that they were willing to give Zero Gravity the first shot at the TNA Tag Team titles if they were successful and York hopes that Zero Gravity return the favour once they become the new TNA Tag Team champions.
MATCH 5| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V CHRIS HERO HERNANDEZ| RANKED 9TH: 4 POINTS CHRIS HERO| RANKED 10TH: 2 POINTS Bottom two men in the TNA Championship Series coming into tonight but Hero didn’t look to upset probably due to the fact that his Heroes for Villains army cost Raven in the previous match against Christopher Daniels but Hero’s smile was quickly taken away, minutes into the match Hernandez was getting stuck into Hero with shoulder tackles in the corner when Raven rolled into the ring spun Hernandez around and dropped Hernandez with his Even flow DDT and the match official had no choice to award the match to Hernandez and disqualify Chris Hero due to Raven’s actions. RESULT| HERNANDEZ VIA DISQUALIFICATION (HERNANDEZ: 10 POINTS – CHRIS HERO: - 10 POINTS)
Chris Hero was down in the corner in shock looking at Raven who just casually rolled out of the ring and slowly, calmly with no emotion back on his face made his way back up the ramp. Raven used the system to get screw over Chris Hero. Hero is still bottom of the series and is now further adrift from everybody else thanks to Raven and the announcers all agreed that Chris Hero now has no chance of winning the TNA Championship Series. Announcers also wondered how TNA management would react to Chris Hero and Raven clearly costing each other valuable points in the TNA title series tonight.
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was now backstage with GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) ahead of tonight’s Best of 5 Series match against Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) knowing if they win they will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Austin Aries told Hudson that they were ready physically and mentally to not only end the Best of 5 Series tonight but to become the new TNA Tag Team champions and finally end the reign of Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown). Strong took over and finished up and told Zero Gravity that they have a lot of respect for them and they are a very good team but they are not great and they can not beat them!
NOTE| 16.07.04| TNA IMPACT! |TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was now in the ring with Doug Williams and Chris Sabin ahead of their contract signing for the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament scheduled to take place this Friday on TNA iMPACT! Live on Fox Sports. Both Sabin and Williams still in their gear due to their matches earlier tonight in the TNA Championship Series, Williams was victorious over Jerry Lynn while Sabin came up short against former TNA champion, AJ Styles in one of the better matches TNA has produced this year. Sabin despite his loss earlier looked confident and signed the contract first followed by Doug Williams. Daivari then handed over the microphone so the two finalists could address one another and again it was Sabin who reacted first. Sabin told Williams he was looking forward to facing him on iMPACT for the right to make history and become the first ever TNA T.V champion, setting the standard for all champions that follow and Sabin has a great respect for Williams but Sabin wants to up the ante, put it all on the line and make their match a double or nothing match – Williams cut Sabin off and Williams he too respected Sabin and he appreciates Sabin’s confidence, borderline arrogance but Williams is not willing to take the risk and some may see that as boring and cautious but Williams understands how important both titles are and is not willing to risk one for the other. Williams told Sabin that Sabin has a had a great year and truly is a star on the rise but Williams wanted to warn Sabin that he is going to have to learn how to deal with disappointment because Friday live on Fox Sports, Sabin will be left disappointed. Williams told Sabin he has been dealing with disappointment the majority of this last year after telling everyone he was going to make a statement this year he hasn’t really been true to his word but this Friday he will be true to his word when he becomes the first ever TNA T.V champion! Sabin looked a little frustrated by Williams’ words and snapped a little asking Williams’ if Williams’ ever thinks to himself that maybe he let his career pass him by and he’s not really as good as everyone in the UK told him he was. It appeared things were getting heated between Sabin and Williams when Eric Young started stomping down the aisle with a microphone in hand while TNA officials tried to stop Young who was screaming into the microphone if there was any justice Bobby Roode would be the man making history, Bobby Roode should be the first ever TNA champion. Young didn’t stop saying Bobby Roode would take the TNA T.V title from whoever won it and Young would see to it. Sabin and Williams stood side by side knowing that whoever makes history and becomes the first ever TNA T.V champion already has a huge target on his back in the shape of Bobby Roode.
Video package aired looking at TNA’s newest signing one of the most popular wrestlers in the world today a multi time champion in every division possible the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy!
MATCH 6| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JAMES STORM V CM PUNK JAMES STORM| RANKED 6TH: 22 POINTS CM PUNK| RANKED 4TH: 24 POINTS Both James Storm and CM Punk are trying to rebound from recent failings to become and challenge the TNA champion. Both men are going about their respective bad luck in different ways Storm is trying to put it behind him and vows that he will earn that one opportunity he needs to become the TNA champion. CM Punk on the other hand believes everyone is against him and the ‘Second City Saint’ actually believes TNA management is trying to censor him but the fact remains Punk has now had 2 opportunities at the TNA title and failed to come away victorious in either contest.
Jeremy Borash believed Storm/Punk was a match pitting two future TNA champions against one another while Don Callis echoing the words Shane Douglas believes James Storm does not have what it takes to become a TNA champion while Callis is counting down the days until CM Punk becomes the TNA champion.
Punk and Storm put on another great match, this match was more of a brawl than a technical wrestling match but the fans were invested right behind Storm and against CM Punk. Victory tonight would give the winner a huge momentum boost and both men came close on a number of occasions, exchanging multiple near falls then Storm caught Punk with his Super kick but Punk was too close to the ropes and fell to ringside much to the annoyance of Storm. Storm followed Punk out and had trouble getting Punk back into the ring and then as both men were on the ring apron Punk shocked Storm with his Evenflow DDT on the ring apron knocking Storm out cold. Punk pushed and rolled Storm’s unconscious body into the middle of the ring before covering Storm’s lifeless body for the huge victory. RESULT| CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL (CM PUNK: 10 POINTS)
James Storm was out cold in the middle of the ring as the match official checked on him before calling for assistance from the TNA medical team. CM Punk was screaming at the match official to raise his hand in victory which the official did as the announcers discussed the outcome of the match praising the quality of the match and Punk’s victory while Callis tried to say the loss proved James Storm just hasn’t got what it takes to break into the top bracket here in TNA while Borash and Tenay disagreed but said James Storm may have to admit that winning the first TNA Championship Series maybe just be unrealistic now while CM Punk has given himself a great chance and has now closed the gap between the top 3 – Daniels, Sabin and Styles.
Ringside TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari approached CM Punk to talk to him about his victory when Punk snatched the microphone of Daivari before pointing at Storm who was still receiving medical treatment telling Storm’s hometown fans to look at their hero. Punk told the fans that nothing would get in his way of him finally getting his hands on the TNA title. Punk shouted that he can’t keep getting screwed out of the title and after Punk wins the TNA Championship Series he will become the TNA champion.
Announcers shown at ringside and before turning their attention to tonight’s Main Event quickly mentioned that next weeks TNA Championship Series matches will be announced this Friday live on Fox Sports on TNA iMPACT! Before showing the updated TNA Championship Series table…

MATCH 7| MAIN EVENT| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 4| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) GREATNESS| 62% WIN RATE FROM 16 MATCHES ZERO GRAVITY| 63% WIN RATE FROM 30 MATCHES NOTE| ZERO GRAVITY HAVE NEVER BEATEN GREATNESS These two teams are no strangers to one another and despite the fact Zero Gravity have never managed to beat GREATNESS there is not much separating both teams, they have wrestled to 3 time limit draws in the previous 4 tag team matches they have had against one another while GREATNESS do hold singles victories over Zero Gravity.
Every team these two teams meet in the ring you are guaranteed a great match and tonight’s match may have been the best of the lot. A true match of the year contender and easily the greatest tag team match in TNA history due to the fact that there was so much on the line Zero Gravity knew if they lost they were done while GREATNESS knew a victory would give them their shot at the TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown). Announcers questioned if AME would pay more attention to the Best of 5 Series now Antonio Banks has failed to become the first TNA T.V champion.
GREATNESS came into the series with momentum behind them after winning the aforementioned singles matches and they increased the momentum by not only winning the first match but by taking Zero Gravity apart but since then Zero Gravity has slowly made their way back into the series. Tonight both teams put everything on the line to pick up the victory but in the end Zero Gravity finally managed to beat GREATNESS and not only did they beat GREATNESS but they returned the favour and in the end they took GREATNESS apart especially Austin Aries. London took Aries of the top rope with a sunset flip power bomb before Sydal clocked Strong with a jumping knee to the jaw. Following a DDT to Aries from London, Zero Gravity took the victory after London nailed Aries with his 450 splash which Sydal quickly followed up with a Shooting Star press for the huge victory. RESULT| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) VIA PIN FALL
The emotion was clear to see on Matt Sydal and Paul London’s face following the bell. Tonight Zero Gravity have proved not only that they can beat GREATNESS but they have also shown how much becoming the TNA Tag Team champions means to them after they have snatched the momentum away from GREATNESS and the announcers argued that with one match remaining in the Best of 5 Series and even though the scores are level at one win a piece Zero Gravity now may have to be considered the favourites to go on and win the Best of 5 Series and become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles.
TNA 104, maybe the greatest TNA Pay per View off all time based on in ring action went off the air as Roderick Strong and Austin Aries regrouped at ringside while Matt Sydal and Paul London celebrated in the ring motioning for the TNA Tag Team titles.

LOCATION| Orlando, Florida ANNOUNCERS| Mike Tenay & Don Callis HOST| Jeremy Borash ANALYST| Shane Douglas
LIVE ON FOX SPORTS – EPISODE #007
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS OPEN…
TNA iMPACT! Host Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone watching to TNA iMPACT! Live on Fox Sports before introducing his broadcast partners Shane Douglas and Shawn Daivari. Borash hyped tonight’s TNA iMPACT! As a must see history making show because tonight TNA crowns it first ever TNA T.V champion when Chris Sabin takes on Doug Williams in the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament.
TNA iMPACT! TONIGHT!! TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS!
JB noted while footage was shown of Sabin and Williams arrived at the arena and got ready for tonight’s championship match that tonight’s show was dedicated to the TNA T.V Championship Tournament finals and would only move on if the title match is complete. Borash then sent it over to the usual announce team of Mike Tenay and Don Callis…
MATCH 1| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| FINALS| CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS CHRIS SABIN| 64% WIN RATE FROM 39 MATCHES – 6TH OVERALL DOUG WILLIAMS| 62% WIN RATE FROM 35 MATCHES – 7TH OVERALL Video package aired looking back over the TNA Championship tournament and showing both Chris Sabin and Doug Williams’ journey to the finals. Sabin has beaten Kid Kash, Jerry Lynn and Antonio Banks while Doug Williams beat Eric Young, Petey Williams and Bobby Roode in controversial fashion.
Before the match recorded comments aired individually from Bobby Roode, Chris Sabin and Doug Williams. Roode claims just because people boo him TNA management are not acting on the fact that Roode should be in the finals of the tournament. Roode promised that he would get what he wants the T.V title as he always does because he is the most calculated and dangerous man in the business and Bobby Roode always gets the last laugh. Doug Williams focused said it would be a huge honour to become the first TNA T.V champion and admitted it would be sweeter being the first champ because that is something that can never be repeated again. Lastly Chris Sabin looked happy and relaxed mentioned being on the run of his career and mentioned the fact that everyone keeps calling him a star in the making but Sabin said tonight that star finally gets made because Sabin finally crosses that finishing line by making history and becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion.
Footage aired from TNA104 this past Wednesday live on Pay per View and the contract signing between Chris Sabin and Doug Williams where Williams told Sabin that he is going to have to learn how to deal with disappointment while Chris Sabin told Doug Williams that he just may not be as good as Williams actually thinks he is…
Bobby Roode with Eric Young pacing around uncontrollably in the background was shown watching the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament a match Bobby Roode arguably should be apart off.
A great match which had a big fight feel. Both Sabin and Williams gave everything to make history and become the first TNA T.V champion. Williams tried to use his technical wrestling to slow down and control the match while Sabin tried to keep Williams on his toes with his fast paced, high flying style. Both men had their moments and there was many great spots including Williams attempting his Chaos Theory only for Sabin to land on his feet then avoid a clothesline before rocking Williams with a running boot in the corner before looking for a tornado DDT of the ropes only for Williams to counter Sabin mid rotation and plant Sabin with a Northern lights supflex for a great near fall.
Sabin eventually hit his tornado DDT but Williams managed to kick out at two also. Williams also managed to drop Sabin on his head with his Chaos Theory and Sabin made history himself by being the first man not to be beaten by Chaos Theory by getting his foot on the bottom rope right at the last second. Match went around 20 minutes and in the end Sabin struggled to lift Williams over his shoulder for his Cradle shock but Williams managed to slide behind Sabin while pulling Sabin over his shoulder before spiking Sabin with a tombstone pile driver which was enough for Williams to finally keep Sabin down and pick up the victory and become the first ever TNA T.V champion. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL TO BECOME THE FIRST EVER TNA T.V CHAMPION
Fans were on their feet as Doug Williams was down on all four exhausted from a great battle as Chris Sabin lay next to Williams not moving from Williams hit the pile driver. Announcers praised the efforts of both men and congratulated Doug Williams on making history and becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion.
Doug Williams slowly got to his feet and had his hand lifted in victory before falling back against the ropes as Williams was handed the TNA T.V title. Williams raised the title above his head in celebration as the match official and paramedics checked on Chris Sabin before rolling Sabin from the ring. Doug Williams continued to celebrate as Mike Tenay noted that before the night is over hopefully we would get to hear from both the new TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams and Chris Sabin.
Footage aired from TNA103 live on Pay per View when ‘The Icon’ Sting responded to TNA champion, Chris Harris’ apology. Sting called Chris Harris a coward and admitted that he does not respect Chris Harris and questioned everything Harris says he stands for. Sting told Harris there was only one way to solve their issue and that was for Chris Harris to be a man and agree to give Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Sting told Harris he would await his response. This Wednesday live on Pay per View, TNA105 – Chris Harris has invited Sting to meet him in the middle of the ring.
Back in the studio JB, Shane Douglas and Shawn Daivari touched on Chris Harris challenging Sting to meet him in the middle of the ring this Wednesday live on Pay per View before going back over the great TNA T.V Championship Tournament finals we had just saw between Chris Sabin and Doug Williams they then turned their attention back to TNA104 and the TNA Championship Series…
Video package aired looking back at the TNA Championship Series matches which took place at TNA104 – Christopher Daniels remains in top spot after beating Raven who was attacked before the bell by Heroes for Villains members Brent Albright, Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark) and Lance Archer. Raven got his revenge by costing Chris Hero 8 points in the TNA Championship Series after Raven spiked Hero’s opponent Hernandez with his Even flow DDT giving Hernandez the win via disqualification. Doug Williams out wrestled Jerry Lynn on his way to victory while AJ Styles and Chris Sabin had a classic before AJ came away with the 10 points and remains in second place and a finals spot. In the final match of the evening two men desperate to win the series CM Punk and James Storm met in what was another great match and it was CM Punk who came away with the victory adding to Storm’s recent bad luck after knocking Storm out cold with a Even flow DDT on the ring apron.
JB, Daivari and Douglas discussed the TNA Championship Series starting with the issues between Chris Hero and Raven before Borash revealed that TNA management have announced that if Chris Hero or Raven get involved in one or the others TNA Championship Series match again in anyway shape or form they will be fined, suspended and removed from the TNA Championship Series. Shane Douglas said TNA104 may have be the best Pay per View in TNA history based on in ring action before saying James Storm continues to prove Douglas right that Storm while good is not good enough to become the TNA champion. The updated standings were then shown before the TNA Championship Series matches scheduled for TNA105 were shown in graphic form…
TNA Championship Series current standings…
10th – Chris Hero – 8 Points 9th – Jerry Lynn 6 Points 8th – Hernandez 14 Points 7th – Raven 18 Points 6th – James Storm 22 Points 5th – Doug Williams 30 Points 4th – CM Punk 34 Points 3rd – Chris Sabin 36 Points 2nd – AJ Styles 48 Points 1st – Christopher Daniels 50 Points

Recorded interview aired with Chris Hero following his match with Hernandez this past Wednesday at TNA104. Hero questioned a number of times whether Raven knows who he is or not. Hero also kept telling Raven he has made a mistake and doesn’t know what he has got himself in to. Hero reminded Raven he offered his hand to Raven but Raven shun him and ignored him and now Raven may have taken the TNA title away from him. Hero warned Raven that tonight Raven made a decision that ended Raven’s career telling Raven that Raven taking Abyss’ mask was the act of a desperate man not a sadistic man, Chris Hero will show Raven sadistic! Chris Hero told Raven not to be afraid of the dark and told Raven he should have truly embraced the hate like Chris Hero did…
MATCH 2| DUSTIN RHODES, JASON CROSS, JOHN WALTERS & SONJAY DUTT V HEROES FOR VILLAINS (BRENT ALBRIGHT, BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK) & LANCE ARCHER) Chris Hero’s army Heroes for Villains dominated the rookie team led by Dustin Rhodes who is determined to prove he deserves to be a part of the TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling roster but tonight Rhodes was helpless as H4V dominated before Archer pinned Cross after a running boot to the face. RESULT| HEROES FOR VILLAINS (BRENT ALRBIGHT, BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK) & LANCE ARCHER)
Back in the studio JB, Daivari and Douglas were joined by TNA Wrestling Academy tournament winner Ken Phoenix. JB congratulated Phoenix on his victory before asking for Phoenix’s thoughts. Phoenix admitted he was over the moon and being a full time member of the TNA roster was a dream come true. Shane Douglas interrupted telling Phoenix he doesn’t like his attitude calling Phoenix soft and also recalled Alexis Laree putting a beating on Phoenix. Phoenix told Douglas that he was just honoured that Shane Douglas has an opinion on him. Phoenix then told Alexis Laree that if she needs a friend he would be her friend and told Laree that Ken Phoenix may be good for Alexis Laree.
Exclusive footage was shown from TNA104. New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) were doing a .com interview talking about how no team compares to them because they are the total package of looks, personality, charisma and talent before noticing Amazing Red consoling Jerry Lynn off camera so Kazarian and Shane turned to Lynn and started bad mouthing and insulting the former TNA Tag Team champion calling him a loser and a has been taking up time that they deserve, Lynn was too beaten up to put up a fight but Red tried only to be held back by TNA officials as New Millennium backed away after insulting one of the most respected men on the TNA roster.
TNA104| MAIN EVENT| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 4| 1-0| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) BEAT GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) TO EVEN THE SERIES 1-1 GOING INTO THE FINAL MATCH TO DETERMINE THE TOP CONTENDERS TO THE TNA TAG TEAM TITLES!
JB, Daivari and Douglas praised the match between Zero Gravity and GREATNESS calling it the greatest Tag Team match in TNA history, Zero Gravity finally beat GREATNESS and now we go into the final match of the Series with both team’s level and one win away from earning a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles. Jeremy Borash thanked everyone for joining them on Fox Sports for TNA iMPACT! And signed off before introducing comments from both Chris Sabin and the new TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams…
Chris Sabin sitting in the backstage area holding his neck was clearly down after failing to become the first ever TNA T.V champion earlier tonight. Sabin admitted to being disappointed saying it was the toughest loss of his career but would bounce back, Sabin down hearted said its funny how things change around here a week ago Sabin was in the form of his life, tonight Sabin has lost his last 2 matches and has never felt lower but Sabin promised that the TNA T.V Championship tournament and the TNA Championship Series would be the making of him…
Doug Williams sitting his locker room with the TNA T.V title over his knee had a great big smile on his face. Williams said becoming the TNA T.V champion has validated his career it has proven to Williams that all of his sacrifices were worth it. Williams promised to be a fighting champion and promised to set the standard for all future champions. Doug Williams thanked Sabin for taking him to the limit before telling everyone that the TNA T.V title was just the start. TNA iMPACT! went off the air with a slow motion shot of Doug Williams having his hand raised in victory earlier tonight moments after beating Chris Sabin to become the first ever TNA T.V champion.

MATCH 1| JAMES STORM (6) BEAT HERNANDEZ (8) VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Highlights from last week aired showing CM Punk beat James Storm and Hernandez beat Chris Hero via disqualification after Raven spiked Hernandez with his Even flow DDT. James Storm had a microphone before the match and said that after losing to CM Punk last week he seen the same pity in the eyes of his friends, family and fans that he saw after he tapped out to Christopher Daniels a few weeks back but Storm wants everyone to know that the Storm that got caught last week and the man who lost to Daniels are two different people. Last week Storm got caught and he can admit that but Storm had a beer dusted himself of and is ready to go again tonight and if anything Storm took more from that loss than from any recent victory and Storm has his confidence back and Storm is going to start climbing back up that ladder board starting with Hernandez tonight.
Hernandez made it clear following last weeks show that he was not happy with Raven using him as a pawn in Raven’s game with Chris Hero and Hernandez has made it clear that he is looking forward to facing Raven in the TNA Championship Series. Storm and Hernandez had a decent match and the fans were right behind the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ and Storm gave them reason to celebrate after catching Hernandez with his Super kick for the victory.
Following the match Storm spoke with Shawn Daivari at ringside. Storm hyped of his victory told Daivari that he was going to win the TNA Championship Series saying he can feel it; earning the one opportunity he craves before telling everyone in the TNA Championship Series he was sorry about their damn luck! Daivari then reminded Storm that next week Storm would face Christopher Daniels the man who tapped Storm out. Storm went quiet for a few seconds before dropping one word… redemption!
Announcers reacted to Storm’s victory and while Borash and Tenay were impressed with Storm’s victory and mentioned how they have always believed Storm has the capabilities to challenge for the TNA title, Don Callis said one victory doesn’t change anything, Storm proved last week that he can not win the big one last week and next week is the biggest match of James Storm’s career. Callis called it Storm’s judgement day!
Video package aired looking at the newest TNA signing one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling today, one that has the wrestling world talking the daredevil, risk taking, charismatic enigma… Jeff Hardy! Next week we hear from Jeff Hardy for the first time since signing with TNA when he sits down with Mike Tenay! Back at ringside Mike Tenay promised to ask Jeff Hardy all the hard questions…
Quick highlights aired from iMPACT! Doug Williams beat Chris Sabin to become the first TNA T.V champion. Announcers at ringside praised both men before congratulating Doug Williams on making history and becoming the first TNA T.V champion. Later tonight Williams will face former TNA champion, AJ Styles in the Main Event while Sabin is in action up next against Raven. Following the loss on iMPACT! Sabin promised that the TNA T.V Championship tournament and the TNA Championship Series will be the making of him.
MATCH 2| RAVEN (7) BEAT CHRIS SABIN (3) VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Raven and Chris Hero have been banned from getting involved in the others matched by TNA management with management threatening to fine, suspend and ban them if they get involved in the others match.
Raven and Sabin had a good match, a clash of styles but Sabin was clearly down from the loss to Doug Williams and as a result Sabin lost ground on the top two AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels after Raven caught Sabin with his Even flow DDT for the victory and 10 points. Raven now has 28 points but stays in 7th place due to Storm’s victory earlier tonight but it is getting tight in the middle of the pack. Top 2 advance to the finals where they will meet for a chance to challenge for the TNA championship. Chris Hero questioned whether Raven has gone soft and Raven has reacted with potentially the form of his life not only has Raven unmasked ‘The Monster’ Abyss, took it too Heroes for Villains but Raven may finally achieve his destiny and become the TNA champion.
Chris Sabin was distraught and the announcers repeated what Doug Williams said last week Chris Sabin is going to have to learn how to deal with disappointment and quickly.
Following a video package looking back over the history between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting; Harris cheated Sting out of the TNA title but tried to make things by apologising but Sting rejected Harris’ apology and told Harris he doesn’t respect him and the only way Chris Harris can make things right is by granting Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Chris Harris made his way down the aisle and into the ring to a negative reaction before the lights went out in the arena signifying the arrival of Sting. Harris didn’t even get to speak before Sting had joined Harris in the middle of the ring. Both men had a microphone’s. Sting told Harris he was egger to hear what he had to say…
Harris looked a little taken back before saying that he has already admitted to his mistake and held up his hands came out here previously and apologised to Sting and everyone else. Harris said that clearly was not enough because since that night Sting has been out here and said a lot of disrespectful things about Chris Harris and Harris while hurt does not take them personally because he understands that Sting was hurting. Sting looked amused by Harris’ words. Sting cut Harris off and told Harris they can end this right here if Harris agrees to give him another shot at the TNA title. Harris shaking his hand and apologised to Sting again before telling Sting that tonight he was going to come out here tonight and try and give Sting gifts but he didn’t want to be seen as a kiss ass but the one thing Harris can not give Sting is another shot at the TNA title because Harris gave the people his word that he would not just hand out, grant people title shots without them earning one first. Sting snapped back immediately by telling Harris that he also told the fans that he would be a champion that they can be proud off but he isn’t and Sting repeated his line about Harris that Harris may be carrying the TNA title but he is no champion! Chris Harris was fuming, pacing around the ring before snapping at Sting to stop being disrespectful to the champion of this company the hardest working man in this business today! Harris then tried to tell Sting that they were not too different from one another both the faces of companies but before Harris could go any further, Sting cut Harris off calling him delusional. Sting told Harris no one respects him and he is not the face of TNA and people are counting down the days until Chris Harris loses the TNA title. Sting said Harris made all this bold claims, big statements when he became TNA champion but the truth is Harris has become desperate to keep the TNA title believing that just by holding the belt a long time it makes you a great champion but it doesn’t. Sting stepped into Harris face and told Harris beating him would make him a great champion and asked Harris whether he was man enough to step up to the challenge. Harris looked annoyed before telling Sting that being the TNA champion is not enough for him, Harris wants to be the best TNA champion possible a champion everyone can be proud off and Harris wants to represent TNA to the best of his ability so with that Harris will take get back to Sting with an answer, Harris quickly left the ring leaving Sting frustrated in the middle of the ring again. Harris stormed back up the aisle with the TNA title over his shoulder without looking back at Sting while the announcers questioned when or whether Chris Harris would respond to Sting’s request for another shot at the TNA championship.
MATCH 3| CM PUNK (4) BEAT JERRY LYNN (9) VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES CM Punk followed up his huge victory over James Storm last week with a dominant performance over one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team champions, Jerry Lynn. Announcers believe that Jerry Lynn put so much into his match against Christopher Daniels a few weeks back that it has took everything out of Lynn and at this stage of Lynn’s career he can not cope with the gruelling schedule that comes with the TNA Championship Series. CM Punk is the most desperate out of everyone on the TNA roster to become the TNA champion believing it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest professional wrestler off all time. Punk has also previously twice failed to become the TNA champion. Punk took Lynn apart with a power bomb into the corner before rocking Lynn with a high knee to the face before pinning Lynn following his Evenflow DDT.
CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ with the victory has moved up to 3rd position above Chris Sabin and just four points behind a top two spot but both AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels still have to compete tonight!
New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks who are scheduled to be in action next came out as the match official checked on Jerry Lynn and New Millennium carried on from where they left off last week by disrespecting the fallen legend Jerry Lynn by mocking Lynn by kicking dust on Lynn and motioning sweeping Lynn out of the ring. CM Punk laughed at New Millennium’s actions at ringside. Amazing Red; Lynn’s partner ran out and tried to get at Kazarian & Shane to stick up for his partner only to be held back by officials…
MATCH 4| NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS BEAT DUSTIN RHODES & SONJAY DUTT VIA PIN FALL Footage which originally aired on iMPACT! Showing New Millennium disrespecting Jerry Lynn last week backstage following Lynn’s loss to Doug Williams was shown before New Millennium take on the make shift team of Dustin Rhodes and Sonjay Dutt who are desperate to get on a winning run to prove they belong here in TNA. Tonight wasn’t the night though as New Millennium dominated in arrogant fashion before Kazarian pinned Dutt following his pump kick. Announcers noted that underneath the TNA Tag Team title picture of champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown), GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) there are a number of teams including New Millennium building a case for a future opportunity at the TNA Tag Team titles.
Highlights aired from TNA104 last week and the Main Event, Match 4 of the Best of 5 Series to crown the next top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles where Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) finally proved they can beat GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) in a match that many are calling the greatest tag team match in TNA history. Following the video the announcers revealed that this Friday on IMPACT! Both GREATNESS & Zero Gravity would be in attendance and the date for the final match of their Best of 5 Series will be announced.
MATCH 5| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V CHRIS HERO WENT TO A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Pre match a recorded interview aired with Chris Hero where Hero spoke about his situation with Raven. Hero said last week Raven wrote his own suicide note when Raven screwed him over. Hero said Raven is a desperate man. Hero called Raven soft and Raven to prove a point went out and unmasked ‘The Monster’ Abyss! Hero told Raven he is in over his head and Hero does not say these words just because he’s angry he says them because they are the truth and it’s what Chris Hero is going to do, Chris Hero promises to end Raven’s career! Hero told Raven he should have embraced the hate and warned Raven not to be afraid of the dark when it’s all said and done because it will kill Raven.
Daniels and Hero had a very good match and while Daniels sits at the top of the league and Hero the bottom with 58 points separating them the two men were much more evenly matched than the table would have you believe. Chris Hero would need to win his remaining 6 matches and hope Daniels doesn’t pick up another point to have any hope of advancing to the top contenders match.
Daniels the first ever TNA champion has only ever been beaten by former TNA champions (AJ Styles & Low Ki) but Hero came close to be first non former champ to beat Daniels but in the end both men failed to pick up the victory as they wrestled to a very exciting 20 minute time limit draw. Christopher Daniels dropped his first points of the TNA Championship Series. Following the match there was a moment where Daniels and Hero gave one another a look which the announcers believed was a show of respect between both men but you can never be sure when Christopher Daniels or Chris Hero are involved.
With this result it pretty much ends Chris Hero’s hopes of winning the TNA Championship Series plus it opens the door for AJ Styles to leap frog Christopher Daniels into top spot if AJ is victorious in tonight’s Main Event against the new TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams.
Shawn Daivari stopped Christopher Daniels at ringside following the match for his thoughts on the result. Daniels admitted that he was disappointed because the ‘Fallen Angel’ always expects perfection and tonight was not perfect but Daniels won’t be too down regardless of the outcome of tonight’s final match because Daniels still has to face AJ Styles and Daniels will rebound quickly next week when he takes James Storm apart again. Daniels told Daivari that he still has full confidence that he will win the TNA Championship Series and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels and the future TNA champion.
TNA iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) KEN PHOENIX V PETEY WILLIAMS AMAZING RED V BOBBY ROODE
Plus both GREATNESS & Zero Gravity would be in attendance and hopefully there will be an update on whether or not TNA champion, Chris Harris will grant Sting another shot at the TNA championship.
MATCH 6| AJ STYLES V TNA T.V CHAMPION, DOUG WILLIAMS WENT TO A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Doug Williams the first ever TNA T.V champion spoke earlier tonight saying now he was the first TNA T.V champion the hard work truly starts because Williams has to set the standard for all following champions and Williams wants to prove he deserves to be the champion to any remaining doubters out there. Williams also said it would be a dream come true to become the next TNA champion and hold both titles at the same time which would prove without question that Doug Williams is the best wrestler in the world today.
AJ Styles spoke to the cameras moments before the match and after Daniels’ time limit draw. AJ admitted he had great respect for Doug Williams and congratulated Williams on making history by becoming the first TNA T.V champion, AJ also mentioned challenging Williams for the title down the line but tonight especially after Daniels dropped points AJ has to take Williams out and beat him in the middle of the ring because AJ will do whatever it takes to regain his TNA championship…
AJ and Williams had the match of the night a great technical wrestling match with both men desperate to come away with the victory. Both clearly wanted to progress in the TNA Championship Series while Williams had the extra motivation of not being beat in his first match as TNA T.V champion. Announcers noted how Bobby Roode has been pushing TNA management to give him the first shot at Doug Williams since Williams beat Roode in controversial fashion during the TNA Championship Series. An announcement should be made in the coming weeks.
AJ failed to capitalise on Christopher Daniels dropping points earlier tonight as he and Doug Williams also wrestled to a 20 minute time limit draw. Both men came close but nothing could separate the two men and they had to settle for 5 points each. Following the match both Christopher Daniels and CM Punk were shown watching on a monitor separately. Daniels happy that he remains top of the TNA Championship Series while CM Punk must be the big winner of the night as Punk is now up to third with the gap separating him and the top two getting smaller. TNA105 went off the air with a handshake between TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams and a frustrated AJ Styles.

TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! Matches have a 20 minute time limit…
Highlights aired from TNA105 this past Wednesday from the TNA Championship Series showing the top 3 Chris Sabin, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels all drop points. Sabin following failing to win the TNA T.V title lost to Raven while Styles and Daniels both fought to 20 minute time limit draws Styles against new TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams and Daniels to Chris Hero who is bottom of the league table. Daniels still leads the tournament with 50 points and will currently face AJ Styles who has 53 points in the top contenders match. CM Punk is closing the gap and after taking apart Jerry Lynn, Punk now finds himself in third place and was the big winner on the night. In the final match of the Series after telling the fans not to read to much into his loss to CM Punk the previous week, James Storm beat Hernandez and now below the top 3 of Daniels, AJ and Punk. Chris Sabin, Doug Williams, James Storm and Raven are looking to break free and challenge for one of the top spots. Who will win the first ever TNA Championship Series and go on to challenge for the TNA championship!
Borash, Daivari and Douglas reflected on the matches which took place in the TNA Championship Series and agreed that CM Punk was the big winner on the night and has put himself right in the mix when it comes to winning the TNA Championship Series. Douglas believes that Punk, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels are fighting for the two spots in the top contenders match while Borash and Daivari agreed there are still 60 points left to play for and Chris Sabin, James Storm, Raven and the first TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams could still push for one of the two spots.

TNA106| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHES JERRY LYNN (9) V RAVEN (7) HERNANDEZ (8) V CHRIS SABIN (4) DOUG WILLIAMS (5) V CM PUNK (3) AJ STYLES (2) V CHRIS HERO (10) JAMES STORM (6) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (1)
MATCH 1| BOBBY ROODE BEAT AMAZING RED VIA PIN FALL Good competitive exciting match to kick off iMPACT! Tonight between two men who were unlucky not to be entered into the TNA Championship Series. Red who has been sticking up for his friend and mentor Jerry Lynn in recent weeks after Lynn was disrespected by New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane). Roode who lost to Doug Williams in the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament in controversial fashion has been in talks with TNA management about a future shot at the title and tonight did his claim no harm by putting Red away following a fisherman’s supflex after surviving a Wheelbarrow bulldog and satellite DDT from Red.
Following the match Bobby Roode spoke with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson at ringside. Roode told Hudson that he just showed everyone why he is the real TNA T.V champion. Roode asked where the TNA T.V champion was tonight. Eric Young made his way to ringside as Bobby Roode told Hudson that very soon he would get his hands on the TNA T.V title because Roode always gets what he wants because he is the most calculated and dangerous man in the business. Eric Young snatched the microphone and screamed that Bobby Roode was the real TNA T.V champion and soon Roode would have the title and Young would make sure of it!
Footage was shown from TNA105 and the confrontation between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Harris tried explaining himself to Sting again but Sting cut Harris off and again challenged Harris to grant him a another shot at the TNA championship. Sting again questioned Harris’ reign as champion and told Harris that Harris may hold the title but is not a champion and told Harris if he wants to be remembered as a great champion Chris Harris has to beat Sting. Harris told Sting he would get back to him with an answer before walking out leaving Sting frustrated.
MATCH 2| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) BEAT BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL OVERALL RANKINGS| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS 4TH – BAD STREET BOYS 6TH Two of the better teams in the division meeting tonight, BG James & Ron Killings have a very respectful record as a team but have never managed to beat TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown). Bad Street Boys have twice failed to beat AME themselves to become the TNA Tag Team champions but have returned to form recently winning the last couple of matches and recently they confronted Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) and reminded them that BSB would have given Zero Gravity the first shot at their TNA Tag Team titles if they were victorious and they told Zero Gravity would return that favour if Zero Gravity managed to become the new TNA Tag Team champions.
Good tag team match between two fan favourites with the fans a little more behind BG & Killings tonight but in the end it was BSB who picked up the huge victory after they managed to pin BG James following their Hangman DDT. Bad Street Boys have now won their last 3 matches and are pushing for one more shot at the TNA Tag Team titles.
Video package aired looking at the newest TNA signing one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling today, one that has the wrestling world talking the daredevil, risk taking, charismatic enigma… Jeff Hardy! Wednesday live on Pay per View, TNA106 – Jeff Hardy sits down with Mike Tenay!
MATCH 3| PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE BEAT KEN PHOENIX VIA PIN FALL KEN PHOENIX’S FIRST MATCH SINCE WINNING THE TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT Recorded interview aired pre match with Coach D’Amore and Petey Williams where Coach D’Amore warned everyone not to start second guessing because Petey Williams has lost a couple of matches lately saying everyone loses a couple and D’Amore stands by his word that Petey Williams is the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada and very soon Petey Williams would be a champion in TNA.
Petey Williams had too much for the rookie Ken Phoenix tonight, Phoenix gave it his all but he was no match for Williams tonight who dominated before putting Phoenix away with his spectacular but dangerous Canadian Destroyer. Following the match Coach D’Amore demanded a number of replays aired of the Canadian Destroyer as match officials checked on Ken Phoenix.
Jeremy Borash in the studio with Shane Douglas spoke about what we had saw tonight, Bobby Roode is fighting for a shot at the TNA T.V title he and Eric Young strongly belief Roode should hold now while Bad Street Boys are moving back into title contention in the TNA Tag Team division while Petey Williams ruined Ken Phoenix’s first match on the TNA roster and managed to put a couple of recent defeats behind him. They then announced that next week both the TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and TNA champion, Chris Harris will be in action!
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was now in the middle of the ring with both GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London). Daivari thanked both teams for joining him in the middle of the ring tonight to find out when the final match of their Best of 5 Series would take place the series is currently tied at 1-1 and the winner of the final match will go on to challenge for the TNA Tag Team titles. Video package aired looking over the previous 4 matches in the incredible Best of 5 Series which saw GREATNESS win the first match, match 2 and 3 go to time limit draws before Zero Gravity won the last match a match many are regarding as the greatest tag team match in TNA history.
Following the video package which actually got a standing ovation and a ‘That was awesome’ chant. Daivari announced that the final match would take place at TNA107 in just under two weeks live on Pay per View and the match would have no time limit! Winner takes all and the winners will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. GREATNESS wearing suits and Zero Gravity in shorts and vests stepped up to one another in the middle of the ring but before things could go any further AME’s music hit in the arena and surprisingly TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) walked out on to the stage with AME security behind them holding up the TNA Tag Team titles. Noticeable by their absence was Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu. Banks & Skipper were wearing AME merchandise including AME chains around their necks.
Brown had a microphone and said over the last couple of weeks AME have had their attention on Antonio Banks becoming the first ever TNA T.V champion and while they were all focused on that TNA through their announcers, reporters, analysts and others have been spreading propaganda about how GREATNESS and Zero Gravity are setting a new standard for tag team wrestling. Brown snapped saying AME are the standard and have been the standard since April last year and reminded everyone that AME are a worldwide brand who can not be stopped and have previously between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity both separately and together at the same time! AME told GREATNESS & Zero Gravity that they have been killing themselves for no reason because despite how much they want and the fans wish the TNA Tag Team titles are going nowhere and very soon Alpha Male Enterprise domination will grow! TNA iMPACT! Went off the air with GREATNESS and Zero Gravity standing in the middle of the ring while AME stood tall on the stage as AME security held the TNA Tag Team titles high, which team will earn the right to challenge AME for the TNA Tag Team titles, GREATNESS or Zero Gravity! We will find out at TNA107 when they meet in the final match of their Best of 5 Series which will be a winner takes all match with no time limits!

LOCATION| Nashville, Tennessee ANNOUNCERS| Mike Tenay, Don Callis & Jeremy Borash
EVERY FRIDAY| LIVE ON FOX SPORTS| TNA iMPACT!
TNA106 opened with a video package looking at the most gruelling, exhausting, mentally draining, competitive tournament in wrestling the TNA Championship Series where the winner will go on to challenge for the TNA title. Video looked back over the previous series matches before looking at tonight’s 5 matches.
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay, Jeremy Borash & Don Callis were shown on camera as Tenay welcomed everyone watching to tonight’s show which would be dominated by the latest matches in the TNA Championship Series but also tonight we would hear from Jeff Hardy for the first time since signing with TNA wrestling. Hardy sat down over the weekend with Mike Tenay and the interview would air later tonight. Announcers then turned their attention back to the TNA Championship Series as tonight’s matches were shown on screen before the updated leader board…
TNA106| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHES JERRY LYNN (9) V RAVEN (7) HERNANDEZ (8) V CHRIS SABIN (4) DOUG WILLIAMS (5) V CM PUNK (3) AJ STYLES (2) V CHRIS HERO (10) JAMES STORM (6) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (1)
TNA Championship Series| Current Leader Board| 10th Place – Chris Hero -3 Points, 9th Place – Jerry Lynn 6 Points, 8th Place – Hernandez 14 Points, 7th Place – Raven 28 Points, 6th Place – James Storm 32 Points, 5th Place – TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams 35 Points, 4th Place – Chris Sabin 36 Points, 3rd Place – CM Punk 44 Points, 2nd Place – AJ Styles 53 Points, 1st Place – Christopher Daniels 55 Points.
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 outside interference
MATCH 1| AJ STYLES V CHRIS HERO WRESTLED TO A DOUBLE COUNT OUT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| AJ STYLES 2ND – CHRIS HERO 10TH AJ Styles spoke to TNA.com before the match and said he was pissed about dropping points last week but tonight he picks up the 10 points and gets a step closer to get back what is rightfully his the TNA championship.
Pre-match comments from Chris Hero also aired with Hero saying last week Hero brought the fight to the first ever TNA champion and one of the best wrestlers in the world today, Christopher Daniels and Hero hopes Raven was watching then and tonight because tonight Hero is going to take AJ Styles apart just to send a message to Raven that when the TNA Championship Series is over, Chris Hero is coming for Raven!
Chris Hero may be the bottom of the TNA Championship Series but now in consecutive weeks Hero has taken points of both Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles the two TNA Championship Series leaders and former TNA champions. AJ while still not having lost a TNA Championship Series match has now dropped points in consecutive weeks and will hope that later tonight both CM Punk and Christopher Daniels are not victorious. If Punk is victorious he will narrow the gap between him and AJ while if Daniels wins he will open up a larger gap over AJ Styles.
AJ and Hero had a stiff fight with both men hungry for the points for different reasons AJ as stated because he wants to win the TNA Championship Series while Chris Hero who can no longer win the series wanted to send a message to Raven. Match ended up spilling to ringside as the match official counted both men out as AJ ducked a Roaring Elbow from Hero and back dropped Hero into the crowd before just getting back into the ring a second too late.
AJ was left frustrated face down in the ring knowing that he had missed his chance to jump to the top of the leader board, as the announcers went over the meaning of the result. If CM Punk beats TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams tonight the gap between Punk in 3rd and AJ in 2nd will be down to 1 point and if Christopher Daniels beats James Storm, Daniels will be 10 points ahead of AJ but as it stands despite only picking up the 2 points AJ and Daniels are now joint leaders with 55 points.
Video package aired looking over the first 4 matches in the incredible Best of 5 Series between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) which is tied 1-1 going into the final match. GREATNESS won the first followed by time limit draws in matches 2 and 3 before Zero Gravity finally proved they can beat GREATNESS in match 4 to level the series a match many are calling the greatest tag team match in TNA history.
Footage was shown from TNA iMPACT! This past Friday on Fox Sports where it was announced that the final match of the Best of 5 Series would take place next week at TNA107 live on Pay per View and to make sure there would be a clear winner there would be no time limit, GREATNESS V Zero Gravity would now be a Winner Takes All match! TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) interrupted the announcement to warn both teams and the fans that regardless of how much they all want it, AME would remain the TNA Tag Team champions and their dominance would only grow!
TNA107| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 5| 1-1| WINNER TAKES ALL| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Announcers at ringside revealed before TNA107 next week this Friday on iMPACT! A special champions edition we would see TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) would be in action in a Non-title match against Dustin Rhodes & Sonjay Dutt.
MATCH 2| HERNANDEZ BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| CHRIS SABIN 4TH – HERNANDEZ 8TH Chris Sabin has not managed to regroup since losing to Doug Williams in the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. Williams’ warned Sabin that he is going to have to learn how to deal with disappointment and so far Sabin is not managing to do that. Announcers debated whether Sabin was starting to believe the hype and got complacent. Hernandez was a surprise entrant into the TNA Championship Series but the ‘Mexican Muscle man’ but has not let himself down again his much more experienced opponents.
Sabin was off his game tonight and Hernandez was just too strong for Sabin’s high risk offence and Hernandez scored his first pin fall victory of the tournament and his second win of the tournament following up his dq victory over Chris Hero after Hernandez caught Sabin coming off the ropes before pinning Sabin following a sit out outsiders’ edge. Hernandez celebrated the victory afterwards as Sabin sat on the ring apron hurting both physically and mentally a couple of weeks ago Chris Sabin was on top of the world and now Chris Sabin is starting to fall apart.
Announcers were shown at ringside discussing the outcome of the Hernandez/Sabin match after congratulating Hernandez on his victory they again discussed Chris Sabin’s current situation a couple of weeks ago they were talking about Sabin may be surprising everyone by winning the TNA Championship Series after Sabin beat CM Punk but now Chris Sabin seems like a broken man and Sabin needs to respond quick before he loses out on both the TNA T.V title and TNA title. Mike Tenay did remind people though that following his loss to Doug Williams, Chris Sabin vowed that his loss to Williams and the TNA Championship Series would be the making of him!
TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams, Christopher Daniels, CM Punk and James Storm were all shown backstage getting ready for their TNA Championship Series matches later tonight…
MATCH 3| RAVEN BEAT JERRY LYNN W. AMAZING RED VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JERRY LYNN 9TH – RAVEN 7TH Jerry Lynn’s partner and friend Amazing Red accompanied Lynn to ringside tonight, Lynn and Red were the first ever TNA Tag Team champions but recently Jerry Lynn has been repeatedly disrespected by New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) who are not happy that Lynn who they claim is past it is getting much more T.V time than them.
Backstage pre match, Raven told TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari that he will do whatever it takes to finish in the top 2 of the TNA Championship Series, qualifying for the top contenders match which Raven will win before going on to achieve his destiny of becoming the TNA champion. Daivari asked Raven about Chris Hero threatening to end Raven’s career, Raven just stared into the camera before putting on Abyss’s mask which Raven peeled of the face of ‘The Monster’ Abyss before making his way out for his match…
Raven and Lynn had a decent match both men former World champions but both have made it clear they would love to become the TNA champion before they call it a day and it was Raven who took a step closer to realising his dream after he caught Lynn with his Even flow DDT. Jerry Lynn has still not managed to win a match in the TNA Championship Series. As Raven made his way back up the aisle the announcers spoke about while Raven is ignoring Chris Hero’s actions/words over recent weeks we are seeing an even darker side to the already twisted Raven. Footage was shown from TNA105 and the confrontation between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Harris tried explaining himself to Sting again but Sting cut Harris off and again challenged Harris to grant him a another shot at the TNA championship. Sting again questioned Harris’ reign as champion and told Harris that Harris may hold the title but is not a champion and told Harris if he wants to be remembered as a great champion Chris Harris has to beat Sting. Harris told Sting he would get back to him with an answer before walking out leaving Sting frustrated.
Announcers revealed that for the first time ever like TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown), TNA champion, Chris Harris will be in action this Friday on TNA iMPACT! On Fox Sports then next week Norman Smiley revealed earlier today Chris Harris would reveal whether or not he would agree to give ‘The Icon’ Sting another shot at the TNA championship.
MATCH 4| CM PUNK BEAT TNA T.V CHAMPION, DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| DOUG WILLIAMS 5TH – CM PUNK 3RD Pre match comments aired from both TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams and CM Punk. Williams said he heard what Bobby Roode and Eric Young had to say on Friday and Williams wants everyone to know that he takes his role as the TNA T.V champion very seriously but Williams has to smart and while the TNA Championship Series is ongoing he has to focus on it but also Williams asked everyone to think about what it would do for the prestige of the TNA T.V title if the TNA T.V champion was to win the TNA Championship Series. CM Punk looking very smug said a couple of weeks ago only a few weeks in everyone was taking great delight in writing CM Punk off, hoping that Punk would not go on to win the TNA Championship Series but now TNA management’s worst nightmare is close to coming true because CM Punk will win the TNA Championship Series and go onto become the new TNA champion and tonight he would be the first man to beat the TNA T.V champion.
Bobby Roode joined the announcers for commentary and revealed that he is still in discussions with TNA management regarding getting his shot at the TNA T.V title. Roode repeated what he said on iMPACT! That Bobby Roode is the true TNA T.V champion.
Punk and Williams had a really good match both men going into tonight’s match still had a realistic shot at making it at least to the top contenders match of the TNA Championship Series. AJ Styles was shown watching backstage during the match. Both men pulled out all the stops and came close to picking up the victory on a number of occasions but in the end Punk managed to put away the TNA T.V champion after dropping him with his Even flow DDT. CM Punk is now only 1 point behind AJ Styles and a spot in the top contenders match and the announcers agreed that TNA management’s worst nightmare may come true as CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ has every chance of winning the TNA Championship Series. Announcers hyped that next week CM Punk would meet one of his great rivals Raven, for the first time since Punk humiliated Raven back in August at TNA59.
Doug Williams was on his knees when the match official handed him the TNA T.V title, Bobby Roode stood from the announce table and he caught Williams’ eye. Roode motioned for the TNA T.V title and told Williams he was the true champion when Eric Young ran into the ring behind Williams tackling the champion before laying into him before Young repeatedly stomped on Williams before match officials pulled the deranged Young off Williams as Bobby Roode watched from ringside with a smile on his face.
Highlights aired from TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY where Jeff Hardy made his surprising TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling debut…
Jeff Hardy’s recorded interview with Mike Tenay then aired with Hardy sitting opposite Tenay wearing a vest and shorts. Tenay welcomed Hardy to TNA and thanked Hardy for joining him. Tenay admitted that everyone watching probably knows who Hardy is but for those who don’t before they get talking about why Hardy joined TNA, Tenay asked Hardy to tell everyone watching about Jeff Hardy in his own words…
Jeff Hardy told Mike Tenay he lives for the moment, has done since day one when he was born in Cameron, North Carolina. Hardy admitted to losing his mother as a child. Hardy has always been a dare devil and has loved professional wrestling since he was a kid so much that he and his brother started their own backyard wrestling organisation plus infamously he lied about his age to take part in a tryout match live on T.V. Hardy and his brother Matt are one of the greatest Tag teams in recent memory raising the bar for tag team wrestling. Last year or so Jeff has tried his luck in the singles division and has won a number of titles and almost shocked the world and became World champion not too long ago.
Tenay said that led him to his next question or point if you like. Tenay said it seems on the outside that Jeff Hardy was right where he had always wanted to be, this close to realising his dream of becoming a World champion so Tenay asked Hardy why would Hardy quit to join TNA or Tenay questioned did Hardy quit or was Hardy fired, because there are many reports that Jeff Hardy was fired. Tenay asked Hardy if he could clarify before letting everyone know why he has made the jump to TNA wrestling. Hardy thought over his answer before telling Tenay that some may say Hardy made the decision to leave while others may say Hardy was fired, Hardy said it was a mutual agreement and Hardy said simply sometimes in life relationships end and that relationship came to an end but what made that break up easier was TNA wrestling. Hardy said he’s been watching and the thought of wrestling some of TNA’s finest excites him and while Hardy dreamed of becoming a World champion somewhere else as a child his dream has now changed and Hardy dreams of becoming the TNA champion and Hardy will take whatever risks he needs to take to make sure his dream becomes a reality.
Announcers discussed Jeff Hardy’s interview before saying they are looking forward to seeing more from Jeff Hardy in the coming weeks with Hardy’s next match to be announced very soon…
MATCH 5| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS WENT TO A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| JAMES STORM 6TH – CHRISTOPHER DANIELS 1ST Christopher Daniels holds two previous victories over James Storm the first at TNA09 the week before Daniels made history and became the first ever TNA champion and at TNA97 back in May where Daniels made Storm tap out to his Koji clutch. A defeat which hurt Storm as Storm was after revenge after Daniels cost Storm his shot at the TNA title after injuring Storm. Footage was shown of Daniels making Storm tap out.
James Storm earlier tonight told TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari that tonight Storm would right the biggest wrong of his career so far. Storm admitted to being at his lowest when Daniels made his tap out saying since that night people have looked at him differently with pity in their eyes but the Tennessee Cowboy’ does not need anyone’s pity and tonight Storm washes that look from peoples faces when he knocks Christopher Daniels’ teeth down his throat! Storm was about to walk off when he stopped and told Daivari that tonight is the biggest match of his career saying everything hangs in the balance, tonight James Storm gets his redemption and takes one step closer to earning the one opportunity he needs to become the TNA champion.
‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels was shown making his way from his locker room looking very confident about his chance tonight as the announcers reminded viewers that Christopher Daniels has only ever lost to former TNA champions and Daniels is the current leader of the TNA Championship Series…
James Storm may have put in the best performance of his career really stepping up to the plate always being one step ahead of the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels. Daniels was caught completely of guard tonight. Storm had an answer to everything. Daniels missed his Best Moonsault Ever, Storm countered Angels Wings with a back body drop and maybe more significantly Storm managed to avoid being locked into the Koji clutch. Only thing missing from Storm’s performance tonight was actually picking up the victory, Storm came close on a couple of occasions but Storm didn’t match to catch Daniels with his Super kick and eventually Storm ran out of time. Christopher Daniels was quickly out of the ring desperate to get away from James Storm.
Announcers agreed that tonight must have felt like a victory for James Storm and if Storm had longer they do not doubt that Storm would have walked away with the victory. Christopher Daniels remains top of the TNA Championship Series leader board with 60 Points, 5 clear of AJ Styles and 6 clear of CM Punk. James Storm also picked up 5 points and the announcers debated whether James Storm was already too far behind for this result to mean anything with 40 Points still left to fight for.
TNA106 went off the air as Christopher Daniels sat on the stage watching still in shock as the fans were on their feet going wild in celebration as James Storm celebrated finally returning to the level Storm was at before his in jury as Mike Tenay asked the question who is going to win the TNA Championship Series.

Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu were again noticeable by their absence tonight. Banks has not been seen since being eliminated from the TNA T.V Championship tournament.
Dutt & Rhodes did well for a team who have been thrown together and have not been together long rocking the champions on a couple of occasions but in the end the champs took over and took Dutt and Rhodes apart before Brown took care of Rhodes with his Pounce before Skipper pinned Dutt with his Play of the Day.
Elix Skipper and Monty Brown stood tall in the middle of the ring after the bell as AME Security paraded around the ring showing off the TNA Tag Team titles. AME has been TNA Tag Team champions for almost 16 months, have beaten every team put in front of them, are the highest ranked team with a 70% win rate and while everyone wants to see AME lose the titles the reality is as the announcers stated that may be wishful thinking because as AME stated last week their dominance has only just begun.
Quick highlights aired from Jeff Hardy’s sit down interview with Mike Tenay which aired this past Wednesday at TNA106. Hardy spoke about his history plus what brought him to TNA before mentioning that he is excited about facing TNA’s best and now dreams of becoming the TNA champion. In the studio Shawn Daivari exclusively revealed that next week Jeff Hardy would have his next TNA match and his first on TNA iMPACT! When Jeff Hardy takes on Petey Williams!
Footage was then shown from TNA106 of Eric Young jumping TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams after Bobby Roode distracted Williams at ringside this was after Roode was at ringside for Williams’ TNA Championship Series match calling himself the true TNA T.V champion. Bobby Roode then walked into the studio wearing a suite and took a sit next to Jeremy Borash. Roode again asked where the TNA T.V champion was, Borash tried to stick up for Williams but Roode told Borash that Williams is no where to be seen and called Williams a coward. Roode told Doug Williams that he should never have become the TNA T.V champion before Roode publicly challenged Doug Williams to a TNA T.V title match before reminding Williams that Bobby Roode always gets what he wants!
MATCH 2| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS BEAT KEN PHOENIX VIA TAP OUT CHRIS HARRIS IS RANKED 1ST OVERALL WITH A 78% WIN RATE AND HAS ONLY LOST 5 MATCHES IN TOTAL SINCE JUNE 2002 Footage was shown from TNA105 and the confrontation between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Harris tried explaining himself to Sting again but Sting cut Harris off and again challenged Harris to grant him a another shot at the TNA championship. Sting again questioned Harris’ reign as champion and told Harris that Harris may hold the title but is not a champion and told Harris if he wants to be remembered as a great champion Chris Harris has to beat Sting. Harris told Sting he would get back to him with an answer before walking out leaving Sting frustrated.
It was announced during the match that TNA champion, Chris Harris would appear at TNA107 this Wednesday and would reveal whether or not he would grant Sting another shot at the TNA championship. Tenay also reported that Harris asked to be left along tonight to prepare for his match against Ken Phoenix not wanting to be disturbed by TNA reporters.
Chris Harris who calls himself the hardest working man in the business and is desperate to go down in history as not only the greatest TNA champion of all time but also the face of TNA has won 33 of his 42 matches, drawing 4 and losing 5. There continues to be a dark cloud handing over Harris due to some of his tactics in his TNA title defences and Sting has challenged Harris to prove he is a great by beating him.
Harris dominated the rookie Ken Phoenix from beginning to end despite for a couple of minutes where Phoenix had the crowd on their feet after scoring 2 near falls the first from a top rope drop kick and the second after Harris misses a spear and Phoenix quickly rolled Harris up. Harris came back quickly and caught Phoenix with a Spear before making Phoenix tap out to his Texas cloverleaf.
Chris Harris celebrated with his TNA title afterwards for a few seconds before being joined in the ring by Norman Smiley, Harris’ head coach at the TNA Wrestling Academy. Harris and Smiley were talking in the middle of the ring before Harris exited the ring as Norman Smiley requested a microphone.
Smiley said Chris Harris was heading back to the locker room to get changed as Harris has some media appearances to get too before more training later tonight. Smiley said Harris wants to thank everyone for coming out tonight, and wants to give credit to his opponent Ken Phoenix saying Phoenix has a great future ahead of him. Smiley finished by saying Chris Harris has asked everyone to tune in to TNA107 this Wednesday at Harris will respond to Sting’s challenge. Smiley and Phoenix shook hands before replays aired of Chris Harris making Phoenix tap out to the Texas cloverleaf.
Back in the studio, Jeremy Borash, Shawn Daivari and Shane Douglas spoke about TNA champion, Chris Harris with Borash asking whether Chris Harris was feeling the pressure of having this dark cloud hanging over his head and people doubting him. Douglas said people should not be doubting Chris Harris giving Harris credit saying Harris has dedicated his life to TNA and Harris has been a fighting champion and has successfully retained the TNA title against some of the best. Douglas said Harris is doing his job as champion and deserves more respect. TNA iMPACT! Went off the air as Borash again hyped TNA107 this Wednesday live on Pay per View where we would hear from TNA champion, Chris Harris plus the TNA Championship Series continues the last shot we saw was of CM Punk standing over the fallen, bloody, bald body after the last time they met, this Wednesday they meet again!

TNA107 opened at ringside with Mike Tenay welcoming everyone to the show before introducing his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash. The 3 announcers hyped tonight’s card which would see the TNA Championship Series continue, plus we would hear from TNA champion, Chris Harris but most importantly tonight we will determine the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles when GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) take on Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) in tonight’s Main Event!
TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 5| 1-1| NO TIME LIMITS| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Announcers then turned their attention to the TNA Championship Series as tonight’s matches appeared on the screen before the leader board was shown and the TNA Championship Series rules…
TNA107| TNA CHAMPIONSHP SERIES MATCHES CHRIS HERO (10) V DOUG WILLIAMS (7) HERNANDEZ (8) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (1) JAMES STORM (5) V CHRIS SABIN (6) AJ STYLES (2) V JERRY LYNN (9) RAVEN (4) V CM PUNK (3)

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 outside interference
MATCH 1| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA TAP OUT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Christopher Daniels pre match told TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson backstage that every was getting caught up in the fact that last week Daniels was caught off guard was shocked by James Storm’s performance but Daniels said the most important thing was that he never lost and as good as James Storm was last week there are two things to remember coming from it the first being Storm still couldn’t put Daniels away and the second is it will never happen again! Daniels told Storm he blew his shot and tonight Daniels will pick up another 10 points and move a step closer to making history once again. Daniels also took a shot at Hernandez telling his opponent that you need more than muscles to become a champion.
Daniels and Hernandez had a strong opening match, while TNA management surprised many by putting Hernandez in the TNA Championship Series, Hernandez hasn’t let himself down. Daniels focused on Hernandez’ arm throughout the match and it paid off in the end when Hernandez’ arm gave out when he attempted his Border Toss. Daniels quickly took advantage dropping Hernandez with a STO before locking him in his Koji clutch. Hernandez tried to fight the hold and at one point almost stood up while holding Daniels but the pain became too much and Hernandez had no choice but to tap out.
Christopher Daniels with only 3 weeks left in the TNA Championship Series now has a 15 point lead over AJ Styles in 2nd place who faces Jerry Lynn later tonight and a 16 point lead over CM Punk who is in 3rd place and faces his old rival Raven later tonight. Daniels the first ever TNA champion is currently in the driving seat but that may change over the next couple of weeks because Daniels is to face both AJ Styles & CM Punk starting with AJ Styles next week! A match the announcers called the biggest match in the TNA Championship Series.
HIGHLIGHTS| 04.06.04| IMPACT| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
MATCH 2| CHRIS HERO BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Footage aired from iMPACT this past Friday where Bobby Roode challenged Doug Williams to a TNA T.V championship match. Williams responded in a pre match interview with Scott Hudson telling he needs to put his issue with Bobby Roode behind him and while Williams’s knows he’s taking a risk by taking too much on but Williams will not be able to put Roode behind him until Williams’ has beaten him proving that he should be the TNA T.V champion removing all questions and Williams announced that he would face Roode on the 13th August edition of TNA iMPACT!
13.08.04| IMPACT| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| © DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE!
Chris Hero may be bottom of the TNA Championship Series table but over the last 2 weeks has held former TNA champions and the TNA Championship Series leaders, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels too draws and if it wasn’t for his rivalry with Raven, Hero would not be bottom of the league table. As for the match itself Hero and Williams have previous history, Hero has beaten Williams on a couple of occasions but more importantly than that has also knocked out and injured Williams giving Williams’ a concussion on both occasions also and tonight while Hero didn’t knock Williams out he did manage to pin the TNA T.V champion after countering William’s Chaos Theory with a roll up of his own.
Chris Hero with the victory is off the bottom of the table. The announcers mentioned that Chris Hero is proving to be a very dangerous man and noted they would be worried if they were Raven because Chris Hero is counting down the days for the TNA Championship Series to be over so Hero can get his hands on Raven.
HIGHLIGHTS| 16.06.04| TNA100| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 2| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW!
Video package aired looking at the history between ‘The Icon’ Sting and TNA champion, Chris Harris. Sting was the last man to beat Chris Harris back at TNA58 and as a result Harris and TNA management granted Sting a shot at the TNA title which Harris won but only after Harris cheated and pinned Sting with his legs on the ropes for extra leverage. Harris tried apologising to Sting but Sting rejected and challenged Harris to give him another shot at the TNA title when Harris refused Sting questioned Harris’ reign as champion telling Harris that he and the fans do not respect him and people will not see Harris as a great champion until he has beaten Sting…
TNA champion, Chris Harris was already standing on the interview podium with TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari wearing a blazer and jeans with the TNA title over his shoulder. Daivari said Harris has asked for more time to respond to Sting well now his time was up and everyone is awaiting Harris’ answer. Harris told Daivari that he is a great champion and asked Daivari or anyone else to check his record, Harris has been beaten 5 times in 43 matches over 2 plus years and in that time Harris has faced everyone top to bottom and Harris does not accept Sting’s criticism. Harris repeated that he is sick and tired of having to defend himself but also repeated that the TNA title is the most important thing in the world to him and while Harris does wholeheartedly apologise for cheating to beat Sting he does not apologise for his tactics in other matches because while they are clearly not popular they have been successful and have broken no rules and Harris makes no apologies for that.
Harris said Sting’s words hurt him a couple of weeks ago because Harris is trying to be a champion everyone associated with TNA can be proud off and is working every hour of every day to make sure that is the case from training to be the head teacher at the TNA Wrestling Academy to media and personal appearances and Harris is loving every minute of it but Harris understands it is now time to step up once again and Harris has to right the wrong and remove the black cloud hanging over his reign as the TNA champion so Chris Harris accepts Sting’s challenge and will grant Sting another shot at the TNA title! Harris told the everyone listening to his words that when he faces Sting he will beat Sting cleanly in the middle of the ring and then hopefully he will have earned the respect of everyone and everyone will see him for what he truly is a great TNA champion!
HIGHLIGHTS| 23.06.04| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 3| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW!
MATCH 3| AJ STYLES BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Pre match we heard from both AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn. AJ mentioned how he has a great deal of respect for Lynn but that has to be ignored tonight because Lynn like 8 others stand in his way of getting another shot at the TNA title he should have never lost. Lynn also admitted his respect for AJ and then compared the class of AJ to the disrespect shown by the likes of Petey Williams and New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) over recent weeks. Lynn noted that he has beaten AJ Styles before and tonight he was looking to do it again.
AJ and Lynn had a very good match but the truth is Lynn while still very good is not at the level of the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Harris etc any longer and while Lynn stayed in the match in the end it was no surprise when AJ managed to put Lynn away following his Styles Clash. Following the match Lynn and AJ embraced. AJ has again closed the gap to 5 points behind Christopher Daniels but next week in a battle of former TNA champions, a battle of first against second we would see the biggest match of the TNA Championship Series yet when AJ Styles takes on Christopher Daniels!
MATCH 4| JAMES STORM BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Following footage being shown of James Storm’s impressive performance against Christopher Daniels last week where Storm dominated and almost became the first non-former TNA champion to beat Daniels. Storm spoke with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson before his match with Chris Sabin. Storm told Hudson that last week felt good because it showed Storm was back in the game but admitted it was true what Daniels said that Storm failed to put the icing on the cake by failing to put Daniels away but Storm warned Daniels that day was coming because Storm knows there business with one another is not through yet but for tonight Storm was focused on Chris Sabin and while Sabin may have hit a little slump lately Storm is not taking any notice of that because it was only a couple of weeks ago people were calling Sabin the future of this company and Sabin may very well be but tonight Storm was sorry about Sabin’s damn luck because Sabin’s fortunes were not going to change after Storm knocks Sabin’s teeth down his throat!
Sabin didn’t comment pre match. Sabin and Storm had a really good match with both men busting out all of their preferred moves to pick up the victory. Fans were behind both men maybe Storm the home town boy a little more. While Storm seems to have recovered from his slump Sabin is still stuck in his and tonight’s outcome went the way of form after Storm caught Sabin with his Super kick as Sabin came off the top rope.
James Storm is creeping back up the table and now has 47 points and with 30 points left to play for is not out of the running as of yet but the announcers believe that Storm’s inconsistency at the start of the tournament and failing to put Daniels away may ultimately cost him in the end. Storm after helping Sabin to his feet and giving some words of encouragement didn’t celebrate like he was out of the running and had his home town crowd on their feet.
Quick highlights aired from Jeff Hardy’s sit down interview with Mike Tenay which aired this last Wednesday at TNA106. Hardy spoke about his history plus what brought him to TNA before mentioning that he is excited about facing TNA’s best and now dreams of becoming the TNA champion.
06.08.04| iMPACT!| JEFF HARDY V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE
Petey Williams was now in the middle of the ring with Coach D’Amore as a number of young wrestling students were at ringside holding up boards advertising TNA iMPACT! On Fox Sports this Friday. D’Amore had a microphone in hand and told everyone to tune into TNA iMPACT! Friday on Fox Sports to witness the debut of Jeff Hardy! D’Amore continued; tune in to watch one of the biggest and most controversial stars of the last couple of years make his TNA MPACT! Debut only to be taken apart by the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada… Petey Williams!
D’Amore told the fans that if they are expecting Jeff Hardy just to walk through the front door and jump straight to the top; leapfrogging Petey Williams they are mistaken. D’Amore also noted that TNA management are not “feeding” Petey to Jeff Hardy they requested this match with Hardy. Petey Williams is not intimidated by Hardy’s star name or Hardy’s previous accomplishments and this Friday on Fox Sports, Petey Williams will drop Jeff Hardy on his head with the most beautiful but dangerous move in wrestling today the Canadian Destroyer! D’Amore warned Hardy that his TNA run will be over before it ever got started but D’Amore told Hardy to rest assured he will never be forgotten about after they replay the footage time and time again.
MATCH 5| RAVEN BEAT CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Raven and CM Punk have quite a history. Raven debuted in TNA by randomly attacked wrestlers including CM Punk which Punk took exception too and after a battle between TNA and Raven’s Extreme Revolution partners it became personal between Punk and Raven. Punk who is straight edge forced Raven a recovering alcoholic to drink vodka only for Raven to spit the vodka in Punk’s face. Also the reason Raven is bald is down to CM Punk. Punk in an act TNA management has refused to replay shaved a bloody and battered Raven bald after beating Raven in a Last Man Standing match and again forcing alcohol on Raven. Raven since that night has kept his head bald as a reminder of Punk’s actions and to always stop Raven from going soft…
Both CM Punk and Raven spoke before the match. Punk with a huge smile on his face said he couldn’t wait to get his hands on Raven once again and is going to enjoy earning another 10 points after taking Raven apart piece by piece. Punk also joked to Chris Hero that Hero owes him one after tonight. Punk told Raven that they do have history but after tonight Punk is only looking forward to becoming the TNA champion.
Raven sitting in a dark room seemingly talking to himself about the thought of facing Raven. You forced alcohol down my throat. You left me bloody. You shaved my head bald. You use my move. Raven then asked himself whether Chris Hero was right has he gone soft. Raven started laughing uncontrollably before lifting Abyss’ mask into shot. Raven said maybe he had gone soft but this is not the same Raven, this is a Raven – CM Punk has never faced before and tonight Raven gets his revenge, gets one step closer to achieving his destiny of becoming the TNA champion and shows Chris Hero what evil truly looks like, quote the Raven, nevermore!
Coming into the match Raven was in 4th spot while Punk was in 3rd people were not really talking about Raven being a challenger in the TNA Championship Series but will be now because it was Raven who picked up the victory in this heated brawl with Punk. Match official almost lost control at times but Punk and Raven also remembered what was on the line, knowing ultimately it was bigger than destroying the other a shot at the TNA title and in the end Raven managed to get some revenge on Punk after reversing Punk’s attempted Even Flow DDT with a Even Flow DDT of his own.
Following the match it seemed Raven wanted to inflict further damage on CM Punk but the match official ordered Raven from ringside. Announcers spoke about how Raven has really snuck up the leader board and while still in 4th place; Raven has closed the gap on the top 2.
Announcers discussed how the top two Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles were the big winners tonight as they managed to pick up victories and now have a bigger gap over the rest of the field. Borash reminded everyone that when the round robin portion of the Series is complete the top 2 would meet in a top contenders match and with AJ and Daniels facing one another next week it may be that next week we could be seeing a preview of the finals of the TNA Championship Series when AJ Styles takes on Christopher Daniels.
Match official went to help CM Punk to his feet but Punk shrugged the official off before kicking the ring ropes in frustration knowing that he has slipped up tonight falling 11 points behind AJ Styles. CM Punk was clearly furious as the announcers set up tonight’s Main Event…
HIGHLIGHTS| 14.07.04| TNA104| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 4| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) BEAT GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 5| (1-1)| MUST BE A WINNER – NO TIME LIMIT! Before the match a piece aired showing a number of different tag teams giving their opinion on who would win the Best of 5 Series and become the next top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles and while it was pretty even between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) comments stood out as they again said they hoped Zero Gravity were victorious as London and Sydal owe them a favour.
Both teams spoke ahead of tonight’s Main Event. GREATNESS said that people are saying that because Zero Gravity won the last match momentum is with them for the first time since the Series began and that will lead them to the TNA Tag Team title shot but they don’t believe that because GREATNESS were never stupid enough to expect a clean sweep they knew that Zero Gravity could beat them and they could beat them again in the future but not tonight because GREATNESS now know that to be the best tag team in the world they have to be better than Zero Gravity, GREATNESS said that GREATNESS and Zero Gravity are the standard to top not Alpha Male Enterprise. GREATNESS said good things have to come to an end and it has been a pleasure going to war with London and Sydal over the last couple of months but tonight they will be leaving with their arms raised in victory.
Zero Gravity showed in the last match with in their actions more so than they ever could with their words not only could they beat Aries & Strong but also how much the TNA Tag Team titles mean to them. London even said they wouldn’t be here if they didn’t want to be the TNA Tag Team champions. London and Sydal joked that they don’t enjoy the talking side of this too much they are just two dudes who love to fly around the ring and have enjoyed mixing it up with Aries & Strong and tonight’s the final time so they hope it’s special but in the end whether it takes 5 minutes or 50 minutes Zero Gravity will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles.
Match of the year contender! Great match an instant classic which without question is the best tag team match in TNA history and may even push Low Ki/AJ Styles as the best match in TNA history all together. Both teams put their bodies on the line for just under 30 minutes. Both the teams and the fans were left exhausted with Jeremy Borash losing his voice on commentary and in the end GREATNESS pretty much had to kill Zero Gravity to beat them. Sydal was pushed off the top rope to ringside and seemed to hurt his knee/ankle and smelling blood GREATNESS then took apart Paul London. Strong cracked London with an uranage into a backbreaker before holding London up in the corner so Aries could hit two running drop kicks. Aries spiked London with a Brain buster following the dropkicks before sitting London up for Strong to nearly take London’s head off with a running sick kick before Aries finally covered London for the win. RESULT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) VIA PIN FALL TO WIN THE BEST OF 5 SERIES 2-1
Austin Aries checked on Paul London as soon as the bell rang before laying on London’s chest as Roderick Strong dropped to his knees in celebration as Matt Sydal was shown dropping from the ring apron after failing to make it back into the ring to break up the fall. GREATNESS had their hands raised in victory and will now go on to challenge Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) for the TNA Tag Team titles.
Officials and paramedics were checking on both Matt Sydal & Paul London as Aries & Strong watched on before going to help Sydal & London to their feet where all four men exchanged words before sharing a group hug in the middle of the ring. Borash with what voice he had remaining and caught up in the emotion said that AME may have been the TNA Tag Team champions since April last year but no one has done more than GREATNESS & Zero Gravity to build the prestige of the entire TNA Tag Team division. TNA107 went off the air as GREATNESS & Zero Gravity raised one another’s hands in victory as they received a standing ovation from the fans and everyone at ringside.

MATCH 1| ERIC YOUNG BEAT KEN PHOENIX VIA PIN FALL Eric Young first match of the TNA year which runs from anniversary show in June to the following anniversary show, Young has been one of many victims of the TNA Championship Series which is why everyone wants to be a part of the tournament. Young has spent his time supporting Bobby Roode; the announcers questioned the relationship between Roode and Young and wondered why Young who is normally uncontrollable is so loyal to Roode. Ken Phoenix the winner of the TNA Wrestling Academy tournament to win a full time TNA contract is still looking for his first victory and it didn’t come tonight as Young took control the match before finishing Phoenix off with his wheelbarrow neck breaker.
Following the match TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson approached Eric Young only for Young to grab the microphone from Hudson before telling everyone that Bobby Roode is the real TNA T.V champion and next week one way or another Bobby Roode would get what he deserves.

MATCH 2| AMAZING RED BEAT MICHAEL SHANE W. TRACI BROOKS VIA PIN FALL New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) over the last few weeks has been disrespectful to Red’s partner, friend and mentor Jerry Lynn and Red has took it upon himself to stand up for Lynn. Pre match comments from New Millennium again saw them mock Lynn and Red, Lynn for being past it and for taking up their T.V time and Red for believing he can stand up to them.
Red is one of the most exciting wrestlers on the roster and he and Shane had a fun to watch match and Red managed to gain some revenge on New Millennium after he pinned Shane following his Satellite DDT and his running Red Star press. Following the match Frankie Kazarian was straight into the ring and tackled Red to the mat.
Match official tried to stop New Millennium as they stomped away at Amazing Red, a number of officials came out to try and stop the beating. Traci Brooks was screaming asking where Jerry Lynn was to save his partner. New Millennium left Red lying following a bicycle kick from Kazarian. New Millennium over recent weeks has continually disrespected Jerry Lynn and now they have left Amazing Red on his back. New Millennium have also previously pinned the first ever TNA Tag Team champions.
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was standing by with the latest news from TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Kicking off with the big news coming from TNA107 which is GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) are the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles after winning one of the greatest matches in TNA history and the Best of 5 Series over Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) as highlights of the match and the standing ovation both teams received afterwards aired. GREATNESS will now meet TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) at a date to be determined. Also coming out of TNA107, TNA champion, Chris Harris has agreed to give ‘The Icon’ Sting another shot at the TNA championship and Daivari has learned that this week at TNA108 we will find out when Harris would defend his TNA title against Sting but Daivari is hearing rumours that we may see both Harris and Sting in action before they face off for the TNA championship!
Shawn Daivari also revealed that at TNA108 a huge announcement would be made which continues to show the growth of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Daivari finished up by sharing that before the weekly Pay per Views, TNA takes the time to have a look at either TNA Wrestling Academy students or give try outs to potential superstars but this past Wednesday there was an incident when where a professional wrestler refused to try out and after a heated exchange with TNA management was escorted out of the arena. Daivari said as many wrestling websites were running with the story it was only right for TNA to address the story also. Daivari hyped that up next we would see the TNA iMPACT debut of Jeff Hardy!
MATCH 3| JEFF HARDY BEAT PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE Quick footage was shown from Jeff Hardy’s sit down interview with Mike Tenay where Hardy revealed why he came to TNA and how he now dreams of becoming the TNA champion. Footage was also shown from TNA107 where Coach D’Amore warned that Petey Williams the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada would not be fed to Jeff Hardy and Williams’ would end Hardy’s reign before it began.
Hardy came out to a huge ovation from the fans in attendance, a rock star like reaction for Hardy. Hardy and Williams had a very good match. Coach D’Amore was right when he said Hardy should not expect just to jump straight to the top of TNA and tonight he was made to work by Petey Williams who would be in the TNA Championship Series if it started from now. Williams came close on a couple of occasions and almost made Hardy tap to the sharp shooter but Hardy managed to reach the bottom rope but in the end Hardy scored his first victory after he countered the Canadian Destroyer with a hard slam before pinning Williams with his Swanton Bomb.
Fans were again on their feet at the bell for Jeff Hardy. Hardy rolled straight out of the ring and ran around ringside slapping hands with the fans as Coach D’Amore checked on Petey Williams as the announcers praised the match and congratulated Hardy on the victory. Hardy back in the ring tossed his wrist bands to the crowd before motioning for the TNA championship.
Back in the studio Bobby Roode was now sitting with Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas. Quick footage was shown of Roode having Doug Williams pinned during their Semi finals match only for the match official to be out of the ring. Bobby Roode again asked where Doug Williams was tonight, noting again that the TNA T.V champion is not here and has actually hasn’t appeared on the show since becoming the TNA T.V champion. Roode said Williams can make all the excuses he wants and Roode saw TNA107 where Williams was already making his excuses. Roode called Williams pathetic and told Williams that next week he would take what is rightfully his the TNA T.V championship because in the end Bobby Roode always gets what he wants.
TNA iMPACT went off the air with a video package hyping the TNA Championship Series match between 1 and 2 former TNA champions and great rivals, ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles and ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.

Unexpectedly a man the announcers noted was Nigel McGuiness was at ringside as Jeremy Borash quickly went over the story surrounding McGuinness which has been reported over the last week following his actions prior to TNA107 last week. McGuinness last week had a heated argument with TNA management after refusing to take part in a tryout match. McGuinness is not a part of the TNA roster and is not scheduled to be here tonight but that didn’t stop McGuinness from grabbing a microphone from ringside.
Immediately TNA security was marching to ringside so Nigel McGuinness rolled into the ring. McGuinness told TNA management to kiss his arse for asking him to wrestle in a try out match. McGuinness who was wearing a black jacket with stone wash jeans which were rolled up at the ankles with doc martin boots. McGuinness warned security if they enter the ring he will kick their heads in and true to his word as the first member of TNA security made his way into the ring McGuinness kicked him right in the face and the guard’s face exploded, his nose/face was a bloody mess but that didn’t stop McGuinness from mounting the security guard and pummelling him into the other security guards and a number of agents ran out and restrained Nigel McGuinness, the fans looked on in shock as McGuinness who does not work for TNA was held down to the mat as paramedics rushed out to check on the security guard the camera quickly shifted back to the announcers at ringside after getting one last shot of Nigel McGuinness being dragged from the ring while screaming he was the man.
Mike Tenay apologised for the actions of Nigel McGuinness and wished the security guard well saying TNA management could take legal action against Nigel McGuinness for his actions. Tenay said it was now to get on with the show and it would kick off with the TNA Championship Series…
MATCH 1| JAMES STORM BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Footage was shown from iMPACT this past Friday where New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) left Jerry Lynn’s partner and friend Amazing Red laying following Red’s victory over Michael Shane.
Jerry Lynn has admitted that at this stage of his career he is not made for competing week after week in such tough, testing matches and while Lynn is yet to win and the losses are doing his overall ranking no good, Lynn is not embarrassing himself and tonight he and Storm had a very good match and Lynn actually blocked Storm’s Super kick and escaped Storm’s Eye of the Storm before Storm finally managed to put Lynn away with his 8 second ride.
James Storm with another victory and at this point in the night is now up to 3rd in the TNA Championship Series despite being written off throughout. Storm spoke with TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari afterwards and told Daivari mentioned people writing him off but said now with 2 matches left and 20 points left to play for Storm has given himself a fighting chance and Storm will do whatever it takes it to give him the best chance of advancing to the top contenders match. Storm told Daivari that he knows in his heart of hearts that he only needs one shot to accomplish his dream of becoming the TNA champion but if it’s not to be Storm can have no excuses.
Announcers mentioned that James Storm has to win his last 2 matches and hope other results go his way but if Storm falls short it will be down to the fact that James Storm still can not win the ‘big one’ regardless of how impressive his performances has been. Storm lost to AJ Styles and CM Punk while drew with Christopher Daniels.
MATCH 2| CHRIS SABIN BEAT TNA T.V CHAMPION, DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES 13.08.04|TNA iMPACT!| MAIN EVENT| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| © DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE! Doug Williams beat Chris Sabin in a great match to become the first ever TNA T.V champion but neither man has been on the greatest of form since that night, neither man has won a match and were both looking to change that tonight also because the loser of tonight’s match would be mathematically eliminated from the TNA Championship Series.
Doug Williams is also looking to bring some momentum into his championship match with Bobby Roode while Sabin is after revenge for losing to Williams in the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament and vowed after that match that his loss to Williams and the TNA Championship Series would be the making of him.
Another great match between the two which had the fans on their feet buying into every near fall but in the end it was Sabin who managed to get revenge and redemption after he unbelievably landed on his feet when Williams attempted his Chaos Theory, Sabin then spiked the shocked Williams with his Cradle shock for the victory.
Sabin was over the moon with his victory and dropped to his knees in celebration, this was a huge victory for Chris Sabin the announcers called it potentially a career defining fight. As Sabin rolled out of the ring still in the running for a spot in the top contenders match Eric Young slid into the ring and started kicking away at Doug Williams as Bobby Roode followed Young into the ring but they were quickly sent out of the ring by Chris Sabin! Sabin re entered the ring and dropped Young with a couple of kicks as Roode rolled out of the ring. Sabin helped Williams to his feet and then picked up the TNA T.V title and having a good look at the belt he almost won before handing it over to Doug Williams.
Bobby Roode without question is in the head of Doug Williams and this Friday on iMPACT Doug Williams is looking to prove that he deserves to be the TNA T.V champion.
Christopher Daniels (1st), AJ Styles (2nd) and CM Punk (3rd) was shown backstage preparing for their TNA Championship Series matches scheduled to take place later tonight before a video package aired on the rivalry between former TNA champions and great rivals, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels.
HIGHLIGHTS| LAST WEEK| TNA107| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 5| MUST BE A WINNER| 1-1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) TO BECOME THE TOP CONTENDERS TO THE TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!
MATCH 3| BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) WENT TO A NO CONTEST Moments into the match pitting two teams looking to build some momentum AME Security stormed the ring jumping both teams, the match official had no choice to call for the bell and assistance as the 10 or so AME security guards put the boots to the 4 men before TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) slowly made their way out in with their TNA Tag Team titles and wearing their AME merchandise and bling…
Once in the ring Brown and Skipper finished off Box Office and The Naturals hitting them with their favourite moves Alpha Bomb, Play of the Day, Pounce etc before Brown demanded a microphone. Again noticeable by their absence was Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu. Brown revealed that in 3 weeks at TNA111, they would defend their TNA Tag Team titles against GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) but Brown was livid about all the praise GREATNESS and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) have received over the last few weeks with people calling them the standard of the TNA Tag Team Division. AME Security in the background was holding up the TNA Tag Team titles! Brown said they were the standard, saying the TNA Tag Team Division was their jungle and they are the Alpha Males! Brown ran through the teams they have defeated in the division including Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn, Bad Street Boys, GREATNESS and Zero Gravity then shouting “Dominated” into the microphone after each team.
Brown said people are hoping and wishing that GREATNESS can do what everyone else has failed to do and finally take the TNA Tag Team titles from them but GREATNESS like everyone else will be dominated and everyone will see that there is no stopping Alpha Male Enterprise! Brown finished by telling GREATNESS they are in over their heads and at TNA111 he will lead by example…
01.09.04|TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
MATCH 4| HERNANDEZ BEAT RAVEN VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HIGHLIGHTS| 14.07.04| TNA104| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ BEAT CHRIS HERO VIA DISQUALIFICATION FOLLOWING INTERFERENCE FROM RAVEN Raven continuing his rivalry with Chris Hero by not only costing Hero not only his match against Hernandez but also an additional 10 points due to outside interference by spiking Hernandez with his Even flow DDT. Hernandez did not take kindly to being caught up in Raven’s games and vowed get his revenge on Raven.
Hernandez was true to his word and was more aggressive in his approach against Raven who was looking to close the gap on the top 3 further but in the end Raven’s actions earlier in the tournament in trying to get too Chris Hero came back to haunt him as Raven struggled with Hernandez aggression and eventually Hernandez scored the victory of his career after pinning Raven following his Border Toss.
Announcers praised the performance of Hernandez who has done himself proud in the TNA Championship Series despite being a surprise inclusion. Chris Hero was shown watching backstage with a huge smile on his face surrounded by his Heroes for Villains army (Briscoe Brothers, (Jay & Mark), Brent Albright & Lance Archer) they were then joined by TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of Hero’s match against CM Punk….
Hero laughed about Hernandez beating Raven saying Raven’s actions came full circle. Hero called Raven stupid and naïve telling Raven that Raven has no chance of winning their war and is playing right into Hero’s hands, reminding Raven that all of his actions have consequences. Hero told Scott Hudson that people are getting behind Raven and doubt Hero’s words that Raven is going soft because Raven unmasked Abyss and beat CM Punk. Hero told Raven ultimately that all means nothing. Hero told Hudson to excuse him because he was now going to go out and beat CM Punk before telling Hudson there was a difference between beating someone and beating someone, which Hero called a shame because he actually likes CM Punk…
HIGHLIGHTS|06.08.04| TNA IMPACT| JEFF HARDY BEAT PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE!
MATCH 5| CHRIS HERO BEAT CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES CM Punk came into this match knowing despite last week’s result his fate was in his own hands as he still has to face both Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles in the final weeks so if Punk won his remaining 3 matches he would qualify for the Top Contenders match but it wasn’t too be, Punk who genuinely believes it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest professional wrestler off all time was not on the top of his game and Hero who’s placement in the Series is not a fair reflection of his capabilities matched Punk throughout.
Fans were not sure who to root for but in the end the match quality was that strong they brought into the near falls but everyone was caught completely off guard when Hero managed to roll Punk up for the surprise 3 count.
Chris Hero rolled straight out of the ring maybe in a little shock himself. Hero has managed to take points of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and CM Punk during the TNA Championship Series. CM Punk was fuming! Grabbing hold of the match official before kicking and shaking the ring ropes repeatedly in frustration. Highest CM Punk can finish with now is 74 points which AJ and Daniels are only 1 win away from achieving and Punk has to face both Daniels and AJ in his remaining 2 matches.
CM Punk was at ringside still cursing when TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson slowly approached CM Punk asking for Punk’s thoughts and mentioning that Punk would need a minor miracle now to reach the Top Contenders match. Punk grabbed Hudson by the blazer before repeating this is B.S, total B.S. Punk said TNA management must be loving this but Punk would not be denied and would become the TNA champion before again saying it was B.S as much B.S as Jeff Hardy’s recent interview, Scott Hudson quickly ended the interview while CM Punk was shouting in the background that he would not be censored and would not be denied!
Announcers were shown at ringside and quickly apologised for CM Punk’s language before saying if CM Punk is not to be denied then Punk has to beat both Christopher Daniels who has never been beaten by a non-former TNA champion and AJ Styles who has a long history with CM Punk and recently beat Punk in a Steel Cage match after Punk cost AJ the TNA title back at the start of the year.
Video package then aired looking back over a number of key events from previous TNA Pay per Views including the first Pay per View where AJ Styles and Low Ki wrestled to a time limit draw. TNA10 where Christopher Daniels became the first ever TNA champion. TNA48 – Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn in a Steel Cage match during which Skipper performed a breath taking hurricanrona from the top of the cage! Many more memorable moments were shown including the debut of ‘The Icon’ Sting and other TNA favourites like CM Punk, Raven, GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong), Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London), Chris Sabin, James Storm and current TNA champion, Chris Harris.
Mike Tenay back now standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand announced that Wednesday 8th September 2004 – TNA112 would be the last weekly TNA Pay per View and to celebrate TNA112 which will be called TNA112|Finale will be headlined by a double Main Event the finals of the TNA Championship Series and the TNA Championship match between champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting! Mike Tenay said TNA continues to grow and from here TNA will be running monthly Pay per Views with the first being on Sunday 7th November 2004 and the biggest most important Pay per View in TNA history will be called… TNA BOUND FOR GLORY!!
Mike Tenay finished up by revealing the first match signed for TNA Bound for Glory; the Main Event for the TNA Championship where the TNA champion will defend the TNA title against the winner of the TNA Championship Series!
MATCH 6| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HIGHLIGHTS| TNA38| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT AJ STYLES HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS With the way results have gone tonight, tonight’s match was huge knowing the winner of tonight’s match in Daniels case would be guaranteed a spot in the Top Contenders match while if AJ wins, while not mathematically confirmed AJ would almost be over the line too. Both AJ and Daniels came into the match not previously losing a match in the TNA Championship Series.
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson spoke with Christopher Daniels ahead of the match and Daniels told Hudson that everyone is building up the importance of tonight’s match and talking about the pressure on both Daniels’ and AJ Styles’ shoulders but Daniels does not feel any pressure because Daniels has full confidence in his ability. Daniels the standard here in TNA for over 2 years now and with or without the TNA title around his shoulder, night in and night out Daniels proves that he is God’s gift to professional wrestling. Daniels knew coming into the TNA Championship Series what he had to do and tonight after he beats AJ Styles he will be one match away from getting his rightful shot at the TNA Championship and on November 7th at TNA Bound for Glory the biggest night in company history, Daniels will beat either Chris Harris or Sting to once again become the TNA champion.
Recorded comments also aired from AJ Styles before the announcement was made about TNA Bound for Glory. AJ said for the first 12/18 months he, Low Ki and Christopher Daniels were credited with putting TNA on the map and now AJ said it’s fitting that Christopher Daniels is once again standing in his way of regaining his TNA title but AJ is going to enjoy going through Daniels tonight because nothing is going to stop AJ from regaining what was stole from him, the TNA championship!
As expected and hyped throughout the night, AJ and Daniels had a great match almost going the full 20 minutes. These 2 like Daniels said with or without the TNA title around their waist may be the two best wrestlers in the world today. Fans loved the Main Event, TNA producing 2 back to back high quality Main Events. Both men threw and attempted all of their big shots with AJ getting an unbelievable near fall following his Spiral tap. Daniels managed to lock AJ in his Koji clutch and AJ became one of only a few men to crawl over to the bottom rope to break the hold. Throughout the match Daniels blocked the Styles Clash and AJ blocked or countered Angels Wings but in the end Daniels successfully spiked AJ Styles with his Angels Wings for the victory.
Christopher Daniels has advanced to the final stage of the TNA Championship Series the Top Contenders match with 2 matches remaining, mathematically Daniels cannot be caught!
Daniels was on his knees celebrating as CM Punk and James Storm the nearest competitors to AJ and Daniels were shown watching backstage knowing that them, two and AJ Styles were now fighting for the final spot. AJ Styles was rolled out of the ring as Christopher Daniels continued to celebrate his huge victory. The announcers actually questioned whether there was anyone out there better than Christopher Daniels, announcers congratulated Christopher Daniels on advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series as TNA108 went off the air with Daniels motioning for the TNA title.

LIVE ON FOX SPORTS – EPISODE #011
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS OPEN…
TNA iMPACT! On Fox Sports opened with Jeremy Borash in the studio overlooking the arena. Borash welcomed everyone to the show before introducing his broadcast partners Shane Douglas & Shawn Daivari before all 3 men hyped tonight’s show…
TNA iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS MAIN EVENT| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| © DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE
TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! Matches have a 20 minute time limit…
Video package aired looking at the rivalry between Doug Williams and Bobby Roode over the TNA T.V championship. Williams beat Roode in the Semi Finals of the tournament to crown the first ever TNA T.V champion but the result was not without controversy as during the match the match official got hurt and while he was down Roode seemingly had Williams pinned. Since that night Roode has continually called Williams out and questioned Williams’ reign as champion, Williams has yet to appear on TNA IMPACT as champion as Williams is focusing on the TNA Championship Series but Roode has not accepted Williams’ reasons and has had Eric Young jump Doug Williams on a number of occasions. Bobby Roode is firmly inside the head of Doug Williams and Williams knows that he will not be able to rid himself of Bobby Roode until he has successfully defended the TNA T.V title against him.
TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams was shown in his locker room before Bobby Roode was shown arriving at the arena earlier today with Eric Young. Borash noted that TNA management have banned Eric Young from ringside tonight.
MATCH 1| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS BEAT BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) VIA DISQUALIFICATION 01.09.04|TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)! Mike Tenay and Don Callis on commentary revealed that Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) would make their first appearance since losing to GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) this Wednesday at TNA109, live on Pay per View.
Tonight’s opening match was a rematch from the 23rd July TNA IMPACT where Bad Street Boys were victorious, tonight’s match started with a handshake between all 4 men. Both teams have previously challenged for the TNA Tag Team titles unsuccessfully and are both desperate for another shot. The two teams were putting on a good match, which ended abruptly when York was stomping on BG James in the corner and refused to break on the officials’ five count which left the match official with no choice but to disqualify Bad Street Boys.
Announcers were caught off guard by Christian York’s actions as was Ron Killings who entered the ring to confront York only for to avoid Killings and roll out of the ring. Joey Matthews didn’t seem to mind his partner’s actions and left up the ramp with York, the announcers confused about Bad Street Boys attitude while Ron Killings checked on his partner in the ring.
Back in the studio Jeremy Borash, Shane Douglas & Shawn Daivari was surprised as everyone else by Bad Street Boys reaction and they said they would Scott Hudson off to try and speak with Christian York & Joey Matthews before the night was over.
Video package then aired looking back at the TNA Championship Series matches which took place this past Wednesday at TNA108 live on Pay per View. Raven and CM Punk both dropped points and the worst time possible, Raven lost to Hernandez in what was arguably the biggest win of Hernandez career. Hernandez managed to get some revenge on Raven after Raven spiked Hernandez with his Even flow DDT recently while Chris Hero upset CM Punk. CM Punk was furious after the match and used bad language to describe his feelings, Punk also questioned Jeff Hardy’s recent interview during his rant but Punk claimed he would not be denied or censored by TNA management but now due to their losses CM Punk and Raven’s fate is out of their own hands. James Storm managed to take advantage and moved up to 3rd place after beating a game Jerry Lynn. Storm afterwards said he would give his all in his remaining matches but could have no excuse if he just falls short. In a rematch from their TNA T.V Championship Tournament finals, Chris Sabin managed to return to winning ways overcoming Doug Williams and managing to get some redemption in the process. In the final match of the evening in the biggest match of the TNA Championship Series so far, first against second, both former TNA champions and both then knowing that a win would virtually guarantee their spot in the Top Contenders match, Christopher Daniels managed to put away AJ Styles with his Angels Wings. Christopher Daniels with 2 matches remaining has qualified for the top contenders match and is one victory away from making history and winning the first ever TNA Championship Series.
TNA Championship Series| Current Leader Board| 10th Place – Jerry Lynn 6 Points, 9th Place – Chris Hero 19 Points, 8th Place – Hernandez 34 Points, 7th Place – TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams 35 Points, 6th Place – Chris Sabin 46 Points, 5th Place – Raven 48 Points, 4th Place – CM Punk 54 Points, 3rd Place – James Storm 57 Points, 2nd Place – AJ Styles 65 Points, 1st Place – Christopher Daniels 80 Points.
Borash, Daivari and Douglas back in the studio discussed the TNA Championship Series starting off by congratulating Christopher Daniels on being the first man to advance to the Top Contenders match. The team touched on the fact that the finals would take place at TNA112| Finale. The same night Chris Harris would defend his TNA title against Sting and then the winners would face each other on Sunday 7th November at TNA’s first monthly Pay per View, the biggest most important night in TNA history… TNA Bound for Glory!
With 2 matches 20 points remaining it is now down to AJ Styles, CM Punk and James Storm for the last spot in the Top Contenders match. Daivari asked whether James Storm was now the favourite as he has momentum on his side plus AJ Styles and CM Punk have to face one another in the final match of the TNA Championship Series. Douglas argued that after seeing how CM Punk reacted to his loss this past Wednesday, CM Punk will not be denied and while Punk needs a little luck if Punk can become the first non-former TNA champion to beat Christopher Daniels who may relax in his final two matches and then beat AJ Styles in the final match of the Series then CM Punk deserves the spot in the Top Contenders match opposite Christopher Daniels. Jeremy Borash made the case for AJ Styles though, AJ currently sits in second spot knowing that his destiny is in his own hands if AJ Styles wins his remaining two matches against Raven and CM Punk then it will be AJ Styles who challenges Christopher Daniels for the right to challenge for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory!
TNA109| TNA CHAMPIONSHP SERIES MATCHES JERRY LYNN (10) V HERNANDEZ (8) CHRIS SABIN (6) V CHRIS HERO (9) JAMES STORM (3) V DOUG WILLIAMS (7) AJ STYLES (2) V RAVEN (5) CM PUNK (4) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (1)
SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004 – TNA BOUND FOR GLORY!!
MATCH 2| © DOUG WILLIAMS V BOBBY ROODE TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP OVER ALL RANKINGS| DOUG WILLIAMS 59% WIN RATE FROM 39 MATCHES – BOBBY ROODE 56% WIN RATE FROM 23 MATCHES Doug Williams making his first appearance on TNA IMPACT since becoming the TNA T.V champion defends his title against Bobby Roode who has won 3 of his last 4 matches his only loss coming at the hands of Doug Williams in controversial fashion during their TNA T.V Championship Tournament Semi-finals.
As noted earlier, Eric Young – Bobby Roode’s loyal solider his hired gun as the announcers call him was banned from ringside.
Williams and Roode had a very good wrestling match with both desperate to prove their point that they deserve to be the TNA T.V champion. Williams’ out wrestled Roode early, only for Roode to come back into the match after rocking Williams with a spine buster. Williams again fought back into the match and from here both men exchanged their preferred moves. Williams came close following a northern lights supflex and Roode following a middle rope block buster. At the end after Williams avoided Roode’s dangerous lariat to the back of the neck and lifted Roode over his shoulder trying to set Roode up for the tombstone pile driver the same move Williams’ used to win the title the fans rose to their feet only for Williams to get behind Williams and surprise Williams with a fisherman supflex and Roode managed to tighten his grip and hold Williams down for the 3 count to become the new TNA T.V champion. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL TO BECOME THE NEW TNA T.V CHAMPION
Doug Williams sat up in shock and the announcers were quick to make excuses for Doug Williams saying Williams may have took too much on with both the TNA Championship Series and the TNA T.V Championship tournament but they took nothing away from Bobby Roode’s performance and congratulated Roode on becoming the new TNA T.V champion the second TNA T.V champion in history.
Bobby Roode was handed his TNA T.V title which Roode lifted the title above his head before being joined by Eric Young who was all over Roode in celebration and Young couldn’t help rub Roode’s victory in Williams’ face as Williams’ left ringside showing no class. Bobby Roode is the new TNA T.V champion.
TNA News with Shawn Daivari back in the studio – Daivari started off by congratulating Bobby Roode on becoming the new TNA T.V champion. Daivari repeated the news that TNA would hold their first monthly Pay per View, TNA Bound for Glory on Sunday 7th November with the last weekly Pay per View taking place on 08.09.04 TNA112| FINALE which will be headlined by both the TNA Championship Series finals and the TNA championship match between champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Daivari then exclusively revealed that this Wednesday both Harris and Sting would be in attendance because over the next two weeks on TNA IMPACT both Chris Harris (next week) and Sting (following week) will be in action but both men have agreed to allow the other to pick their opponent!
08.08.04| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was standing by backstage with new TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode and Eric Young but before talking with Roode, Hudson revealed that Bad Street Boys refused to speak with Hudson earlier tonight. Eric Young grabbed the microphone and told Hudson he doesn’t care about Bad Street Boys and demanded Hudson and everyone else show respect to the TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode. Hudson did congratulate Roode on his victory but Roode told Hudson that his congratulations have come too late because tonight Roode got what he finally deserves. Roode told everyone that he was the real TNA T.V champion and now he has proved it without question beating Doug Williams in the middle of the ring. Bobby Roode reminded everyone that he is the most calculated and dangerous man on the business today and always gets what he wants before holding up the TNA T.V title to the camera.
Quick video package aired looking forward to the TNA Championship Series matches scheduled to take place at TNA109 this Wednesday with AJ Styles, CM Punk and James Storm all fighting for the remaining spot in the Top Contenders match opposite Christopher Daniels.
Back in the studio Jeremy Borash thanked everyone for watching this week before TNA IMPACT went off the air with a still shot of new TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode celebrating becoming the new champion earlier tonight.

SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004| TNA BOUND FOR GLORY
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay welcomed everyone watching to TNA109 hot on the heels of a newsworthy week here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Tenay introduced his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash before the 3 announcers hyped tonight’s card which would see the TNA Championship Series continue with its penultimate round of matches plus ‘The Icon’ Sting and TNA champion, Chris Harris would both be in the same ring tonight for the first time since Harris granted Sting his rematch at the TNA championship.

Announcers touching back on the TNA Championship Series noted how Christopher Daniels has now advanced to the finals at TNA112| FINALE and now it was down to AJ Styles, James Storm and CM Punk as to who would go on to face Daniels in the finals, we may get a preview of the finals tonight as CM Punk faces Christopher Daniels tonight aiming to be the first non-former TNA champion to beat Daniels and if Punk fails, Punk will not be able to progress to the top contenders match. CM Punk was then shown backstage as was AJ Styles and James Storm separately. AJ Styles despite his loss to Daniels last week is still in the driving seat knowing his fate is in his own hands and if results go his way tonight AJ Styles could also advance to the Top contenders match against Christopher Daniels.
MATCH 1| CHRIS SABIN V CHRIS HERO TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HIGHLIGHTS| 18.02.04| TNA83| NEXT STEP|LADDER MATCH| CHRIS SABIN BEAT CHRIS HERO TO BECOME THE TOP CONTENDER TO THE TNA TITLE Pre match comments aired from both Hero and Sabin who have previous history after Sabin beat Hero in TNA’s only ever Ladder match to become the top contender to the TNA title. Hero simply said he owed Sabin one while Sabin admitted his victory over Doug Williams last week felt like a weight lifted of his shoulders and Sabin has his confidence back and repeated coming out of the TNA Championship Series people are going to see a different Chris Sabin because the TNA Championship Series would be the making of him.
Hero who has taken points from Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles and CM Punk throughout this tournament and Sabin who himself beat CM Punk earlier in the tournament had a good match and the announcers discussed Hero and Sabin having the potential to one day be serious contenders to the TNA title. Tonight belonged to Sabin who continued his momentum from last week with another impressive victory tonight, Sabin never backed down from Hero who may have been too arrogant due to his victory over Punk last week and it came back to haunt Hero after Sabin pinned Hero following a boot to the face in the corner followed by a tornado DDT. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN BEAT CHRIS HERO VIA PIN FALL
Chris Sabin celebrated afterwards and mathematically Chris Sabin is still in the running for a spot in the Top Contenders match but Sabin would need a number of results go his way however the announcers said Sabin can be proud of his performance during the TNA Championship Series during which Sabin also reached the finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament and agreed that this period has been the making of Chris Sabin.
01.09.04|TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
Music video aired paid for and produced by AME Worldwide – showing Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) dominant TNA Tag Team title reign which began back in April of 2003. The video which was black and white set to a rap song called ‘DOMINATE’ showed AME beating the likes of Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn including footage from their Steel Cage match plus their victories over Bad Street Boys, BG James & Ron Killings, GREATNESS & Zero Gravity…
NEXT WEEK| TNA110|CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was standing on the interview podium. Daivari said next week Alpha Male Enterprise & GREATNESS would sign the contract to make their TNA Tag Team title match official but tonight Daivari wants the fans to show their respect to the team who just missed out on challenging AME, a team who took part in the breath taking Best of 5 Series, Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London).
Zero Gravity came out and joined Daivari on the podium and received a huge standing ovation from the fans in attendance. London and Sydal acknowledged the crowd and got ready to speak when they were jumped from behind by Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews). Shockingly BSB floored Zero Gravity from behind and laid into Sydal & London. Announcers were in shock BSB were screaming at London and Sydal while they attacked that Zero Gravity cost them their shot. A number of officials came out and managed to pull Christian York and Joey Matthews off London and Sydal. Agents came out to check on Zero Gravity as Bad Street Boys were restrained and led backstage continuing to shout that Zero Gravity cost them their shot!
Announcers were shown at ringside and they discussed Bad Street Boys attack, noting that they saw a change in attitude last Friday on IMPACT during their match against BG James & Ron Killings. Announcers trying to solve the puzzle as to why BSB attacked mentioned how Bad Street Boys hoped Zero Gravity became the new TNA Tag Team champions as they believed Zero Gravity owed them the first shot at the titles. Hopefully we would get to hear from Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) sooner rather than later concerning their change in attitude.
MATCH 2| HERNANDEZ V JERRY LYNN TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Hernandez scored arguably the biggest win of his career last week over Raven while Jerry Lynn the TNA veteran is yet to pick up a victory during the Series and in total has failed to win in his last 9 matches. As well as this Lynn has had to put up with disrespect shown by New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) who took things to a new level recently when they attacked Lynn’s partner Amazing Red.
Fans were behind Lynn willing him to his first victory of the TNA Championship Series but it was not to be as the bigger full of confidence Hernandez tossed Lynn around at will before beating Lynn following a sit power bomb. Following the bell Hernandez showed respect to Lynn before celebrating with a Mexican flag, consecutive victories for Hernandez over two former World champions while Jerry Lynn has now lost his last 10 matches and the announcers questioned when Jerry Lynn starts to question his future in the business. RESULT| HERNANDEZ BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL
Tenay, Borash & Callis were shown at ringside and they quickly mentioned last week’s incident where Nigel McGuinness who is not under a TNA contract showed up and tried to take the show hostage before assaulting a member of TNA’s security team. Photograph of the security guard’s face was shown as the announcers revealed that McGuinness broke the nose and cheekbone of the guard. TNA management do not condone the actions of McGuinness but in an interesting development TNA has not pressed charges against McGuinness. Tenay said there seems to be more to this story and they will keep everyone updated before they turned their attention to the upcoming appearances by TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting…
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was now standing in the middle of the ring and before introducing Chris Harris and Sting gave a quick update on Zero Gravity saying other than a few knocks and bruises both Matt Sydal & Paul London are fine. Daivari then told the fans that in 3 weeks at TNA112| FINALE the last TNA weekly Pay per View, Chris Harris will defend his TNA title against ‘The Icon’ Sting. Daivari then introduced Chris Harris who came out as usual now when not wrestling in his blazer and jeans, once Harris was in the ring and after shaking hands Daivari introduced the top contender to the TNA title, ‘The Icon’ Sting. Sting’s ovation nearly blew the roof of the arena. Sting joined Harris and Daivari in the ring wearing his usual black and white attire.
Daivari mentioned that Chris Harris finally agreed to grant Sting a rematch and now the match was set, Daivari was interrupted by Chris Harris who asked for the microphone. Harris apologised to Daivari for interrupting him and started off by telling Sting your welcome for another shot at his TNA title. Harris said hopefully now they can put what happened behind them and move on, Harris has apologised and agreed to give Sting another shot at the title. Harris told Sting that he prides himself on being the most professional and respectful champion he can be and only wants the best for TNA wrestling telling Sting he is fully invested in this company and now more than anything wants to represent TNA on the biggest night in their history on November 7th at TNA Bound for Glory. Harris mentioned that tonight he even allowed Sting to come to the ring second which is a champions right but Harris passed that up also for those who don’t know this Friday and next he then Sting would compete on TNA IMPACT and the other would name their opponents and Harris volunteered to go first, agreeing to face an opponent of Sting’s choosing with less notice. Harris said the point he is trying to make is simple while Sting has admitted that he does not respect Chris Harris, Harris not only respects but idolises Sting and again whole heartedly apologises for his actions in their last match but as much as Harris respects Sting at TNA112| FINALE, Harris will beat Sting in the middle of the ring and this time without question Harris is not going into TNA112 to retain his title he is going in to beat Sting in the middle of the ring and finally erase any doubts people have about him, this news brought a huge smile to Sting’s face. Sting told Chris Harris he has been waiting for Harris to say that and Sting prays that Harris is a man of his word because if Harris tries any funny business again Sting will drop him where he stands but for now Sting will take Harris’ word and Sting accepts Harris apology and is looking forward to facing Harris at TNA112| FINALE. Sting then offered his hand to Harris which surprised Harris and anger the fans a little. Harris shook Sting’s hand a moment which is a year in the making. Sting then told Harris that he has picked his opponent and while it may surprise some the man Sting has chosen is a man who Sting trusts with his life and a man who is desperate to prove himself here in TNA, Dustin Rhodes. Harris took in the announcement and seemed a little relieved based on his facial expression. Sting stepped up to Harris and told him it was now Showtime and Sting told Harris he better be ready or this would happen again, Sting pointed to the big screen in the arena where footage aired from exactly one year ago of Sting beating Chris Harris by making Harris tap out to his Scorpion Death lock! Chris Harris has not lost since that night one year ago, when the clip had finished Sting was in the aisle celebrating with the fans while Chris Harris seethed in the ring after being reminded of his previous loss to Sting.
08.09.04| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING! FRIDAY| TNA IMPACT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| CHRIS HARRIS V DUSTIN RHODES!
Backstage cameras followed ‘The Icon’ Sting where TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson stopped Sting and asked him about choosing Dustin Rhodes as Chris Harris’ opponent when Christopher Daniels confronted Sting, the two men standing face to face. Daniels is the only man to have beaten Sting since Sting joined TNA. Daniels told Sting he hopes Sting becomes the TNA champion at TNA112| FINALE because Daniels can not think of a better person to beat on the biggest night in TNA history at TNA Bound for Glory. Sting shot back at Daniels telling Daniels he hopes he sees him at Bound for Glory too.
HIGHLIGHTS| 13.08.04| TNA IMPACT| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP| BOBBY ROODE BEAT © DOUG WILLIAMS TO BECOME THE NEW TNA T.V CHAMPION!
Footage was shown from after Bobby Roode had beat Doug Williams to become the new TNA T.V champion and his post match interview where Roode said he had proven that he is the true TNA T.V champion and reminded everyone that Bobby Roode is the most calculated and dangerous man in the business and Bobby Roode always gets what he wants.
MATCH 3| JAMES STORM V DOUG WILLIAMS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Big match for both James Storm and Doug Williams but for different reasons, Doug Williams can not advance any further in the TNA Championship Series but after losing the TNA T.V title and disappointing during the series Williams will be looking to turn things around tonight. Storm the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ on the other hand needs to win tonight to still be in with a shot of advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series, taking it to the final round of matches next week.
Storm did his part he and Williams had a hard hitting match but in the end Storm managed to pick up the victory he desperately needed after Williams rocked Storm with a number of knees to the head while locked in the cravate but then Storm managed to free Williams’ grip and immediately dropped Williams with his Super kick before falling on top of Williams for the 3 count. RESULT| JAMES STORM BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
James Storm was rocked from the knees and struggled to his knee as the match official raised Storm’s hand in victory. As it stands James Storm sits in the second Top Contenders qualifying spot. James Storm has really turned things around since the start of the Series where Storm couldn’t pull together consecutive victories and was written off by many. Storm’s victory now puts more pressure on both AJ Styles and CM Punk who are still to compete later tonight and both will have to win or the advantage is with James Storm.
MATCH 4| AJ STYLES V RAVEN TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES AJ Styles and Raven both spoke ahead of the match. Raven who was sitting in a corner of the room spoke while stroking the mask he stole of ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Raven said last week his destiny was taken away from him and the only person he has to blame is himself because his actions came back to haunt him and it cost him but to prove Chris Hero wrong again and to show he hasn’t gone soft tonight Raven would make AJ Styles feel his pain when he takes away AJ Styles dreams. Raven told Hero he hopes Hero’s watching.
AJ Styles told TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson that he is getting tired of repeating himself. At the start of the year the TNA title was stolen from him and AJ wants it back and to get it back AJ Styles has to win the TNA Championship Series and that is exactly what AJ intends to do and then at TNA Bound for Glory in front of the biggest audience of all time AJ Styles would regain his TNA title and prove without question that he is the ‘Phenomenal One’.
AJ and Raven had a good match, a clash of styles. Raven is more of a brawler while AJ likes to fly around the ring and use unique offence. AJ suffered his first loss of the TNA Championship Series last week to Raven and if AJ followed that up with a second defeat AJ would not be out of the running but the advantage would now be with James Storm. Raven didn’t hold up and was intent on denting AJ’s dream but in the end AJ managed to come away with the victory after planting Raven with his Styles Clash. RESULT| AJ STYLES BEAT RAVEN VIA PIN FALL
AJ Styles moves back up to second in the TNA Championship Series and AJ now knows as long as AJ doesn’t lose his final match next week against CM Punk then he would advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. AJ Styles hurting after the match motioned that he was one step closer to earning the right to challenge for the TNA Championship at TNA Bound for Glory.
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was waiting for AJ Styles backstage. Hudson congratulated AJ on his victory and noted that as long as AJ doesn’t lose next week then AJ will advance on to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. AJ struggling to talk due to his match with Raven said nothing would stop him now from regaining his TNA title. TNA champion, Chris Harris interrupted which he apologised for. Harris congratulated AJ on his victory but Harris over heard what AJ keeps saying about the TNA title being his but Harris just wants to let AJ know that the TNA title is not AJ’s its his. Harris patted AJ on the shoulder before walking off leaving AJ fuming; AJ Styles would love nothing more than to be the one who takes the TNA title from Chris Harris.
MATCH 5| CM PUNK V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES CM Punk has to win this match to stand any chance of advancing to the final stage of the TNA Championship Series but to manage that Punk has to do something a non-former TNA champion is yet to do and that is beat the current leader of the TNA Championship Series and the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels.
CM Punk was backstage with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of the last TNA Championship Series match of the night. Punk who was calmer than normal told Hudson that he is well aware that most people don’t like him and Punk understands that he is not very likeable but he makes no apologises for who he is and what he believes but like Punk or not Punk dreams of being the best wrestler possible and his mission in life is to go down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time but to do that Punk has to become the TNA champion something Punk has failed to do so far and Punk is aware that he is running out of opportunities and due to his big mouth TNA management would love nothing more to keep Punk away from the TNA title but Punk will not allow that to happen and tonight Punk will do something that has never been done before to make sure that happens.
Christopher Daniels was shown walking with a swagger from his locker room ahead of tonight’s final TNA Championship Series knowing that he has already advanced to the finals of the TNA Championship Series.
Even though Daniels has already advanced to the finals of the TNA Championship Series he never took it easy against CM Punk. Punk for the last two weeks has been in a match against another wrestler who the fans don’t like but this week a portion of the crowd was actually behind CM Punk. Punk and Daniels have met once before which saw Daniels come out on top after making Punk tap out.
Only a victory would do for Punk tonight and as the clock counted down Punk got more desperate. Great match which saw Punk desperately look for the victory while Daniels didn’t want to lose his record of never being pinned by a non-former TNA champion. Punk hit the Even flow DDT at one point but Daniels kicked out, Daniels missed his Best Moonsault Ever and Punk capitalised straight away catching Daniels with a shining wizard but again Daniels kicked out. Punk tried everything and countered all of Daniels big moves in the last couple of minutes but in the end Punk failed he could not beat Daniels and was eliminated from the TNA Championship Series as he and Daniels wrestled to a 20 minute time limit draw. RESULT| CM PUNK V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS WENT TO A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW
Christopher Daniels rolled straight out of the bell as reality hit CM Punk straight away, Punk slowly dropped to his knees knowing that he was not advancing to the final stage of the TNA Championship Series. Punk was speechless down on his knees as he heard the ring announcer announce the outcome of the match. CM Punk believes that it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest professional wrestler off all time but the reality is once again CM Punk has failed in his quest to become the TNA champion.
Christopher Daniels has advanced to the TNA Championship Series finals and now either AJ Styles or James Storm will join Daniels. Next week James Storm has to beat Raven and hope that CM Punk beats AJ Styles. CM Punk was still down in the middle of the ring on his knees as the announcers mentioned they have never saw CM Punk like this before TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson entered the ring to get a word with Punk but Punk with one hand waved Hudson away as TNA109 went off the air with a devastated, heartbroken CM Punk.

SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004| TNA BOUND FOR GLORY
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS OPEN…
Video packaged opened TNA IMPACT looking over Chris Harris’ reign as TNA champion from winning the TNA title from AJ Styles in controversial fashion after CM Punk interfered too Harris’ retaining the title against Chris Sabin and Raven while also winning a number of Non-title matches. However Harris’ reign continues to have a black cloud hanging over it’s head due to his negative tactics during his title matches, being more interested in retaining the title than winning the match plus Harris cheated to beat ‘The Icon’ Sting something Harris later apologised for. Harris has since said he prides himself on being the best champion possible and ahead of his rematch with Sting has promised to beat Sting in the middle of the ring and vowed to go down in history as a great TNA champion.
Jeremy Borash sitting in the studio overlooking the arena welcomed all viewers to TNA IMPACT before introducing his broadcast partners, Shane Douglas & Shawn Daivari. 3 announcers hyped tonight’s show which would see the TNA champion, Chris Harris take on Sting’s hand picked opponent, a close friend of Sting’s – Dustin Rhodes! Also tonight we would hear from the new TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode!

TNA iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| CHRIS HARRIS V DUSTIN RHODES!
TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! Matches have a 20 minute time limit…
MATCH 1| KEN PHOENIX & SONJAY DUTT V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS Earlier today Sonjay Dutt spoke with TNA.Com where Dutt said he is desperate to make a name with himself in TNA and Dutt is not going to turn down any opportunity but if TNA keep putting him in the TNA Tag Team Division, Dutt would to pick his own partner because Dutt knows a great partner instead of being paired up with random partners. On cue Ken Phoenix came over and offered a high five in excitement for tonight’s match…
Highlights aired showing New Millennium’s (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) attitude and actions towards the first ever TNA Tag Team champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn, they have repeatedly disrespected Lynn calling Lynn past it and they have also attacked and left Amazing Red laying.
New Millennium dominated Ken Phoenix & Sonjay Dutt and showed arrogance throughout while the announcers wondered who Dutt would choose as his ideal partner. Kazarian and Shane picked up the victory after Kazarian pinned Phoenix following his Wave of the Future. New Millennium with Traci Brooks celebrated as the announcers discussed that sooner rather than later Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn will be coming for revenge. RESULT| NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) BEAT KEN PHOENIX & SONJAY DUTT VIA PIN FALL
Video package then aired looking back at the TNA Championship Series matches, the penultimate round of matches which took place this past Wednesday at TNA109 live on Pay per View. Chris Sabin continued his turn around in form and followed up his victory over then TNA T.V champion, Doug Williams with another impressive victory over Chris Hero. Jerry Lynn is still without a victory going into the last round of matches after he lost to Hernandez who has beat former world champions in consecutive weeks. Going into the night the big question was who would join Christopher Daniels in the TNA Championship Series finals with AJ Styles, CM Punk and James Storm fighting for that last one spot. Storm and AJ kept themselves in contention after picking up victories in their matches over Doug Williams and Raven respectively but CM Punk’s dreams of becoming the TNA champion at TNA Bound for Glory are over after Punk wrestled to a time limit draw against Christopher Daniels leaving Punk a broken man, down on his knees in the middle of the ring.
TNA Championship Series| Current Leader Board| 10th Place – Jerry Lynn 6 Points, 9th Place – Chris Hero 19 Points, 8th Place – Doug Williams 35 Points, 7th Place – Hernandez 44 Points, 6th Place – Raven 48 Points, 5th Place – Chris Sabin 56 Points, 4th Place – CM Punk 59 Points, 3rd Place – James Storm 67 Points, 2nd Place – AJ Styles 75 Points, 1st Place – Christopher Daniels 85 Points.
Borash, Daivari and Douglas reflected back on TNA109 and look forward to TNA110 where we would find out who would advance to face Christopher Daniels in the finals of the TNA Championship Series either AJ Styles or James Storm. They discussed who the favourite to advance between AJ and Storm was and they couldn’t decide. AJ Styles advances as long as he avoids defeat. As long as AJ doesn’t lose he advances, the lowest points AJ can pick up is 2 and if Storm beats Raven they will be tied on 77 points however AJ would advance due to his victory over Storm earlier in the tournament. AJ would love to advance after beating CM Punk in the middle of the ring and while AJ has beaten Punk inside a steel cage that would be the ultimate revenge so AJ’s fate is in his own hands but regardless of the outcome in AJ’s match James Storm still has to beat Raven and hope CM Punk beats AJ Styles but the announcers questioned the mental state of CM Punk after once again failing to become the TNA champion. Who is going to advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series, AJ Styles or James Storm?
TNA110| TNA CHAMPIONSHP SERIES MATCHES JERRY LYNN (10) V CHRIS HERO (9) DOUG WILLIAMS (8) V HERNANDEZ (7) CHRIS SABIN (5) V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (1) JAMES STORM (3) V RAVEN (6) AJ STYLES (2) V CM PUNK (4)
SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004 – TNA BOUND FOR GLORY!!
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson spoke with Dustin Rhodes ahead of Rhodes’ match against TNA champion, Chris Harris. Rhodes said he is very grateful for this opportunity that Sting has given him and tonight Rhodes is going to test Harris to the best of his abilities and maybe shock the world and beat Harris in the middle of the ring. Rhodes admitted though that he wished things were different and he wished he wasn’t the warm up but the guy in the Main Events but to do that Rhodes has to prove that he belongs in TNA and there’s no better place to start than by beating Chris Harris.
MATCH 2| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| CHRIS HARRIS V DUSTIN RHODES 08.09.04| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING! Before going to ringside Borash, Daivari and Douglas spoke about Chris Harris’ reign as TNA champion and while they admitted there is some controversy to Harris’ reign. Harris deserves a lot of credit and respect, yes Harris cheated to beat Sting but Harris has apologised, gave Sting another shot and promised to wrestle to beat Sting. Besides that Harris has never broken any rules and while Harris tactics can be seen as negative they are also effective Harris has not lost a match in over a year, Harris has the highest win rate of any wrestler in TNA 79% winning 34 of his 43 matches, drawing 4 and losing 5 in all competitions. Chris Harris is hard to beat but Sting has done it before and if ‘The Icon’ does it again the biggest name in TNA wrestling will become the new TNA champion and will defend the title against the winner of the TNA Championship Series at TNA Bound for Glory.
True to his word, Dustin Rhodes brought the fight to Chris Harris and the two had a very good wrestling match. Rhodes pushed Harris all the way but the champion never backed down never resorted to his defensive tactics. Harris in the end managed to keep his winning streak in tact after catching Rhodes with a spear before putting Rhodes away after making Rhodes tap to his Texas cloverleaf. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT DUSTIN RHODES VIA TAP OUT
Chris Harris was handed his TNA title afterwards as the announcers praised his performance tonight and wondered who Harris would pick as Sting’s opponent for next week on TNA IMPACT. TNA112| FINALE will Chris Harris finally prove to everyone that he is the great TNA champion he is so desperate to become but to do so Harris has to overcome the last man to beat him ‘The Icon’ Sting!
01.09.04|TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
NEXT WEEK| TNA110|CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
Borash, Daivari and Douglas hyped the upcoming TNA Tag Team title match pitting champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) against GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) before turning it back to Mike Tenay and Do Callis as we were about to hear from the new TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode!
TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode wearing a black suite with black shirt with the TNA T.V title was now in the middle of the ring with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson and his loyal soldier, his hired gun Eric Young who was pacing around the ring like a mad man demanding the crowd show Bobby Roode the respect her deserves. Roode again told everyone that he in the end always gets what he wants, always. Roode reminded everyone of how he messed with Jerry Lynn’s mind before getting what he wanted and now he got inside Doug Williams’ head before taking the TNA T.V title. Roode said now the TNA T.V title was right where it belonged and now TNA IMPACT is his show, Bobby Roode is the star of the show, TNA IMPACT revolves around him. Roode warned everyone one more time that he is the most dangerous and calculated man in the business today… Roode was then interrupted by the music of TNA champion, Chris Harris!
Harris came out with his TNA title still wrestled to compete due to his match with Dustin Rhodes earlier tonight. Roode had to hold Eric Young back telling Young he was intrigued as to what Chris Harris wanted. Harris told Roode that he meant no disrespect by interrupting Roode and Harris as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling wanted to congratulate Roode on becoming the TNA T.V champion, calling it a great achievement. So TNA IMPACT is your show, Harris questioned Roode before telling Roode that next week Harris gets to pick ‘The Icon’ Sting’s opponent and Harris can not think of a better person than Bobby Roode the TNA T.V champion, the face of TNA IMPACT to face ‘The Icon’ Sting next week on TNA IMPACT! Bobby Roode looked shocked as Harris told Roode he was welcome for this opportunity before wishing Roode good luck and exiting the ring. Bobby Roode paced around the ring as the announcers hyped that next week on TNA IMPACT, ‘The Icon’ Sting will be in action when he takes on the TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode hand picked by TNA champion, Chris Harris. TNA IMPACT went off the air as a graphic appeared showing both AJ Styles and James Storm on screen with the caption that only one would advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series!

Announcers spoke about how last week CM Punk fell at the penultimate hurdle and last week CM Punk was left a broken man. Tonight either AJ Styles or James Storm will fall at the final hurdle while the other would advance to face Christopher Daniels at TNA112| FINALE. AJ Styles will advance tonight as long as he avoids defeat against CM Punk but if Punk beats AJ and Storm beats Raven earning 10 points in the process then James Storm will advance to the finals.
Earlier today AJ Styles and James Storm were shown arriving at the arena as were their opponents tonight CM Punk and Raven, when TNA.com tried to speak with Punk about his defeat last week Punk refused to comment so the reporter questioned Punk on his comments towards Jeff Hardy a couple of weeks ago, Punk told the reporter to speak with Jeff Hardy.
MATCH 1| CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Pre match comments from both Christopher Daniels and Chris Sabin aired prior to the match, Sabin admitted that after losing out on the TNA T.V title it left him down but things turn around quickly in this business and Sabin is feeling on top of the world again ready to kick some ass and after the TNA Championship Series is done, Sabin is coming for the TNA T.V title but before then he fancies on making a little history by being the first ever non former TNA champion to beat Christopher Daniels.
Christopher Daniels earlier today standing with an unopened bottle of champagne put the bottle in some ice. Daniels said he could open the bottle now and celebrate his dominance not just over the TNA Championship Series but everyone in TNA for the past 2 and half years but Daniels is not going to do that but at TNA112| FINALE, Daniels will bring out this bottle of champagne and celebrate in the middle of the ring in front of the world because God’s gift to professional wrestling is moving on to the biggest night in TNA’s history TNA Bound for Glory, November 7th and will once again become the TNA champion. That is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
Daniels and Sabin kicked off the show in great fashion; great match which had the fans on their feet. Daniels never took his foot of the gas despite the fact that he has already advance to the finals while Sabin pushed Daniels all the way trying desperately to be the first non former TNA champion to beat Daniels but in the end Daniels managed to put Sabin away with his Angels Wings guaranteeing Daniels place at the top of the standings. Christopher Daniels now moves on to TNA112| FINALE to face either AJ Styles or James Storm in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL
MATCH 2| DOUG WILLIAMS V HERNANDEZ TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Overall Doug Williams will not be happy with his performance during the TNA Championship Series, Williams would have wanted and expected a higher finish and also while Williams made history becoming the first TNA T.V champion again Williams who has high standards will also be disappointed with his reign as TNA T.V champion and tonight was looking to end the TNA Championship Series on a high while Hernandez will be delighted with his performance, Hernandez was an unexpected entrant and has impressed including victories over two former world champions.
Whoever won this match would finish highest of the two and again it was a good decent match but tonight Hernandez came across a focused on form Doug Williams who after taking control of the match rocked Hernandez with a number of knees before pinning Hernandez with an impressive Chaos Theory. Following the match Doug Williams and Hernandez showed respect to one another with a handshake both men will be looking to push on with their TNA careers now. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL
AJ Styles and James Storm were both shown backstage getting ready for their TNA Championship Series matches knowing that the pressure is on tonight like never before especially for AJ Styles because AJ’s fate currently is in his own hands.
MATCH 3| JERRY LYNN V CHRIS HERO TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Jerry Lynn spoke with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of his match with Chris Hero telling Hudson that while Lynn will admit the TNA Championship Series may have been too much on him at this stage of his career, week after week competing against the best TNA has to offer Lynn still has pride and is hurt that he has yet failed to pick up a victory so tonight Lynn is going to change that and hopefully that will send a message to New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) that Jerry Lynn isn’t done yet!
Jerry Lynn regardless of the outcome would finish bottom of the standings while Chris Hero would finish second from bottom, Hero has Raven to blame for that because despite Hero’s position he has impressed during the Series taking points from AJ, Daniels and CM Punk. Lynn was desperate to score his first victory but it was not to be as Hero put Lynn away following his Roaring Elbow. Following the bell Chris Hero leaned into the camera and told Raven he was now coming for him. RESULT| CHRIS HERO BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL
Jerry Lynn was getting helped out of the ring and while sitting on the ring apron regaining his bearings New Millennium and Traci Brooks came out to laugh point and mock Jerry Lynn for failing to pick up a victory during the TNA Championship Series.
NEXT WEEK|TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)!
Video package aired hyping the TNA Tag Team championship match between Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) which will headline TNA111 next week. AME have dominated the TNA Tag Team division and have been the champions since April 2003 having beaten all contenders but in the process have become the most hated team in TNA and everyone is desperate for the reign of AME to come to an end. While GREATNESS have earned their TNA Tag Team title shot after winning a classic Best of 5 Series over Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) a series which has raised the profile of the TNA Tag Team division with people believing GREATNESS & Zero Gravity have brought a higher standard to the division than current champions, Alpha Male Enterprise. Next week either AME will either prove their dominance once again or GREATNESS will make history become the new TNA Tag Team champions and prove their GREATNESS!
GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) were already in the ring which was set up for the contract signing sitting on opposite sides of the table. TNA Reporter Shawn Daivari hosted the contract signing while AME security paced around the ring showing off the TNA Tag Team titles again noticeable by their absence was AME members Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu. Both teams were in suites while AME also were wearing their AME bling. Both teams signed the contract before Monty Brown spoke first, first mocking GREATNESS’ cheap suites. Brown told GREATNESS for the last couple of months they, Zero Gravity and everyone apart of TNA have been filling everyone with false hope. GREATNESS and Zero Gravity are not the standard of Tag Team wrestling in 2004, AME are and always have been. Brown stood up, 16 months they have been the TNA Tag Team champions and in that time they have dominated everyone put in front of them and next week they are going to not only dominate GREATNESS again they are going to hurt them! Aries spoke for GREATNESS telling AME that they make him sick and that they are ashamed that AME are the champions of the division they represent. Aries told AME that GREATNESS owe it to the fans, to TNA, to every team that works for TNA especially to Zero Gravity who could have easily been standing here today, to every team who wants to work for TNA and be apart of the greatest Tag Team division in the world and they owe it to themselves to beat AME next week to become the new TNA Tag Team champions!
Aries stood and said he has now worked himself up and he wants a fight, Aries slapped Brown and pie faced Elix Skipper before Roderick Strong jumped upon the table before clearing Skipper & Brown from the ring with a double kick. GREATNESS then took apart AME Security as Brown & Skipper watched on from ringside. GREATNESS once done with AME Security challenged Brown & Skipper to get back into the ring. Brown and Skipper seemed to be thinking it over when Antonio Banks and Ekmo Fatu rolled into the ring behind GREATNESS before they floored GREATNESS from behind, Brown & Skipper entered the ring for a 4 on 2 beat down which ended after Fatu splashed both Aries & Strong. AME then placed a foot on Aries & Strong while posing with the TNA Tag Team titles high above their heads.
Announcers were shown at ringside and quickly discussed AME softening up their opponents GREATNESS ahead of their TNA Tag Team title match next week before also mentioning that next week as a part of TNA111, Jeff Hardy would be in action again in a rematch against Petey Williams. Hardy accepted Williams’ request for a rematch. Also in a further update on the Nigel McGuinness incident the announcers have learned that TNA has forced McGuinness to pay for all medical treatment for the security guard McGuinness injured. Up next the final two matches in the round robin stage of the TNA Championship Series who will advance to the finals AJ Styles or James Storm?
MATCH 5| JAMES STORM V RAVEN TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson spoke with James Storm ahead of his match against Raven. Storm took a deep breath before speaking then admitted that the cowboy was a little nervous tonight. Storm said his destiny is out of his hands but he plans on giving himself a fighting chance by beating Raven in the middle of the ring because at least then AJ Styles will know without question going into his match tonight that he has to win. Storm told Hudson that Storm has come close before to getting the one shot he needs at the TNA title only for luck to dessert him, tonight Storm wants to be saying to AJ Styles despite all the respect he has for AJ… Sorry about your damn luck!
Storm and Raven have met twice previously with the first actually being Raven’s first match in TNA, that match went to a No Contest while Raven won the second match. Storm was hoping tonight that it would be third time lucky. Raven and Storm had a brawl; Raven would have no problem costing Storm his potential shot at advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. At one point during the match Raven set Storm up for his Even flow DDT on the ring apron the same way CM Punk beat Storm earlier in the series only for Storm to back drop Raven on to the ring apron. Once back in the ring Storm quickly dropped Raven with his Eye of the Storm before pinning Raven following his Super kick. RESULT| JAMES STORM BEAT RAVEN VIA PIN FALL
James Storm has done his part and going into the last match of the round robin stage of the TNA Championship Series it is James Storm heading to face Christopher Daniels in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Storm was relieved. Announcers praised Storm for turning things around after a slow start to the TNA Championship Series. Storm can not do anything more and now has to wait to see the outcome of tonight’s AJ Styles/CM Punk match. Storm applauded the fans in the ring before walking around ringside slapping hands thanking the crowd for their continued support. All the pressure is now on the shoulders of former TNA champion, AJ Styles.
MATCH 6| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES CM Punk despite not speaking to TNA.com reporters on his arrival into the arena tonight did speak with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of his match against AJ Styles. Punk again like last week was softly spoken as Punk admitted he was crushed last week after he failed once again to become the TNA champion. Punk said he knows people don’t like him and he gets that and he also knows that people believe he got what he deserved when AJ Styles beat him in their Steel Cage match after Punk screwed AJ out of the TNA title and Punk admits he probably did but there was truth in Punk’s claims that AJ screwed him out of the TNA title too and Punk has not yet got his revenge and Punk can not think of a better way of getting revenge than by making AJ feel the same way Punk felt last week by once again costing AJ the TNA title once again. Punk warned AJ that things have a funny way of coming round full circle and tonight Punk would get his revenge!
Moments before heading out AJ Styles too spoke with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson. AJ hyped for tonight’s final match told Hudson that he was ready for this match, he has been ready for this match since the 7th January when he had his TNA title stolen from him! AJ has been waiting for this night since then and tonight the irony is he gets to beat the man who cost him the title and tonight AJ will beat CM Punk in the middle of the ring because nothing or no one is stopping AJ Styles from getting his TNA title back at TNA Bound for Glory.
James Storm was shown watching throughout as was Christopher Daniels. AJ Styles just had to avoid defeat to earn his place in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. CM Punk was hell bent though on once again costing AJ Styles the TNA championship. AJ and Punk always have great, heated matches and tonight was no different if anything it was more intense because of what was on the line for AJ Styles. AJ managed to hit Punk with his Styles Clash at one point but Punk unbelievably got his shoulder up at the last second frustrating AJ. AJ seemed moments away from victory but Punk came back into the match and AJ survived a huge scare of his own after Punk surprised AJ with his Even flow DDT but AJ just managed to kick out.
Nothing could separate AJ and Punk and it seemed destined to go to a time limit draw but then Punk and AJ collided in the middle of the ring, a clash of heads and both men slumped to the mat. AJ seemed out cold while Punk was rocked. Punk slowly crawled over and pulled AJ’s dead weight to his feet before spiking AJ with a second Even flow DDT before laying on top of AJ as the match official broke AJ Styles’ heart by counting AJ down for the 3 count. RESULT| CM PUNK BEAT AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL
Heartbreak for AJ Styles! AJ Styles was just over a couple of minutes away from advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series but fate, destiny CM Punk snatched the opportunity away from AJ Styles. Luck was not on the side of AJ Styles’ tonight.
CM Punk rolled off AJ Styles’ body and straight out of the ring ignoring the match official; Punk beat up let out a sly smile at ringside delighted about costing AJ Styles a spot in the finals of the TNA Championship Series.
AJ Styles was checked on by the match official and a couple of TNA paramedics after the bell, AJ struggled to sit up. AJ punched the mat a few times once he realised he had fell short of advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Announcers praised the efforts of AJ Styles before confirming that James Storm has advanced to the finals of the TNA Championship Series and would meet Christopher Daniels at TNA112| FINALE and the winner would go on to TNA Bound for Glory and challenge for the TNA championship.
TNA Championship Series| FINAL Leader Board| 10th Place – Jerry Lynn 6 Points, 9th Place – Chris Hero 29 Points, 8th Place – Hernandez 44 Points, 7th Place – Doug Williams 45 Points, 6th Place – Raven 48 Points, 5th Place – Chris Sabin 56 Points, 4th Place – CM Punk 69 Points, 3rd Place – AJ Styles 75 Points, 2nd Place – James Storm 77 Points, 1st Place – Christopher Daniels 95 Points.

HIGHLIGHTS| TNA IMPACT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT DUSTIN RHODES VIA TAP OUT! 27.08.04| TNA IMPACT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA T.V CHAMPION| BOBBY ROODE V STING!
Announcers were shown at ringside still reeling from AJ Styles losing to CM Punk. Tenay noted that AJ Styles has been in a qualifying spot ever since the opening Battle Royal only to fall at the last hurdle, Tenay sent his commiserations to AJ once again before congratulating James Storm on never giving up and staying in contention throughout. Tenay hyped the news that Sting would be in action this Friday, TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports and next week TNA champion, Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels, James Storm and Sting will all share the same ring.
Cameras went backstage where TNA officials were leading a hurt and distraught AJ Styles back to his locker room when they met James Storm. Storm and AJ stood eye to eye before AJ offered his hand to James Storm showing a huge amount of class in the process. Storm shook AJ’s hand…
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring asked the fans to show their respect to all 10 competitors in the TNA Championship Series before congratulating Christopher Daniels and James Storm on advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Daivari invited Christopher Daniels and James Storm out to the ring. Daniels came out first. Daniels the first ever TNA champion has the second highest win rate in TNA, Daniels was not beaten once during the Series and has never been beaten by someone who has never held the TNA title. James Storm was out next to a huge ovation from his hometown crowd. Storm has missed out on a TNA title shot once before due to injury suffered at the hands of Christopher Daniels but vows that he only needs one shot at the TNA title to make his dreams a reality. The lowest point of James Storm’s career was a loss to Christopher Daniels on his return from injury Daniels made Storm tap out in the middle of the ring in front of his friends and family. Storm and Daniels got face to face, nose to nose in the middle of the ring James Storm looking intense while Christopher Daniels had a huge arrogant smile on his face. James Storm or Christopher Daniels will go on to challenge either Chris Harris or Sting for the TNA championship at TNA Bound for Glory. TNA110 went off the air as Storm and Daniels stood nose to nose in the middle of the ring.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS OPEN…
Jeremy Borash sitting in the studio overlooking the arena welcomed everyone watching TNA IMPACT on Fox Sports before introducing his broadcast partners Shane Douglas & Shawn Daivari. Announcers hyped tonight’s card which would host arguably the biggest Main Event in TNA IMPACT history, TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode faces ‘The Icon’ Sting in a Non-title match. TNA iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA T.V CHAMPION| BOBBY ROODE V STING!
08.09.04| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
Earlier today TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode and his loyal soldier Eric Young spoke with TNA.com ahead of Roode’s match against Sting tonight. Roode admitted that he was taken back a little last week when TNA champion Chris Harris named him as Sting’s opponent tonight. Roode at first thought Harris was jealous because Roode is a better champion than Harris but Roode then realised that Chris Harris is not as stupid as people say he is and the reason Harris picked Bobby Roode is because Harris knows that Bobby Roode is the most calculated and dangerous man in the business and even a great like Sting doesn’t stand a chance against him. Eric Young grabbed the microphone called Sting a freak before telling Sting he would peel the paint of Sting’s face tonight with his bare hands….
MATCH 1| STING V TNA T.V CHAMPION| BOBBY ROODE W. ERIC YOUNG NON-TITLE MATCH Sting came out to a huge ovation for his first match on TNA IMPACT. Eric Young accompanied Bobby Roode the TNA T.V champion and Chris Harris’ hand picked opponent. Bobby Roode is enjoying a good run of form currently winning 3 of his last 4 matches. Sting has lost only 2 matches since joining TNA just over a year ago, one was Sting’s first match against Christopher Daniels who Sting could potentially face again at TNA Bound for Glory and the other was a Gauntlet for the Gold match which featured 27 other men.
Sting and Roode had a good match with Roode stepping up to the challenge well. Roode scored a nice near fall after Sting missed a Stinger splash in the corner and then turned into a spine buster from Roode. Eric Young got involved during the match also dropping Sting with a clothesline at ringside while Roode has the match official distracted. Sting came back into the match and after taking Roode down with a middle rope supflex Sting attempted to lock Roode in his Scorpion Death lock only for Eric Young to enter the ring and floor Sting from behind leaving the match official no choice but to disqualify Bobby Roode. RESULT| STING BEAT BOBBY ROODE VIA A DISQUALIFICATION
Eric Young ignored the match official and continued to stomp away at Sting before mounting ‘The Icon’ before lying in with right hands. Roode was now up and calling the shots ordering Young to continue before telling Young to hold Sting up for him but before Roode and Young could do any more damage to Sting, Chris Harris slid into the ring and quickly like cowards Bobby Roode and Eric Young exited the ring.
Bobby Roode and Eric Young celebrated in the aisle way as Roode was handed his TNA T.V title. Chris Harris checked on Sting before ordering a microphone. Harris called Roode and Young cowards before surprising everyone by challenging Bobby Roode and Eric Young to a tag match here tonight against him and Sting! Roode and Young spoke about it at ringside before accepting Chris Harris’ challenge. Chris Harris went back to checking on Sting as Mike Tenay and Don Callis hyped tonight’s Main Event which would see the TNA champion and top contender team up just weeks away from their TNA championship match.
Highlights aired from TNA110 this past Wednesday live on Pay per View and the last round of round robin matches in the TNA Championship Series. Going into the night we knew Christopher Daniels had advanced to the finals and would be joined by either AJ Styles or James Storm. In the earlier matches of the night Christopher Daniels confirmed top spot with a victory over Chris Sabin while Chris Hero beat Jerry Lynn who ended the Series without a victory while Doug Williams beat Hernandez. Then in the final 2 matches of the night, first James Storm did what he needed to do and beat Raven meaning Storm was in the second qualifying spot going into AJ’s match against CM Punk but all AJ Styles had to do to advance to the finals was avoid defeat but unfortunately for AJ Styles he couldn’t manage that as with minutes remaining in their match AJ and Punk clashed heads which knocked AJ out and Punk took advantage by spiking AJ with his second Even flow DDT of the match costing AJ Styles a spot in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. TNA110 went off the air with finalists James Storm and Christopher Daniels long time rivals nose to nose in the middle of the ring, either Daniels or Storm will challenge for the TNA championship on Sunday 7th November 2004 at TNA Bound for Glory!
TNA Championship Series| FINAL Leader Board| 10th Place – Jerry Lynn 6 Points, 9th Place – Chris Hero 29 Points, 8th Place – Hernandez 44 Points, 7th Place – Doug Williams 45 Points, 6th Place – Raven 48 Points, 5th Place – Chris Sabin 56 Points, 4th Place – CM Punk 69 Points, 3rd Place – AJ Styles 75 Points, 2nd Place – James Storm 77 Points, 1st Place – Christopher Daniels 95 Points.

SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004| TNA BOUND FOR GLORY!
Borash, Daivari and Douglas spoke about the final round robin matches which took place this past Wednesday at TNA110 and Borash said his heart went out to AJ Styles who at the last minute missed out on advancing to the finals of the TNA Championship Series at the expense of James Storm who was written off by many at the start of the tournament after a inconsistent start but Storm turned things around and will now face Christopher Daniels at TNA112| FINALE, the last weekly TNA Pay per View. Shane Douglas said Christopher Daniels must now be the heavy favourite now considering his history with James Storm plus the fact that Daniels has never lost to someone who has never been the TNA champion. Announcers also discussed that this Wednesday at TNA111, Daniels, Storm along with Sting and TNA champion, Chris Harris will all share the ring at the same time!
Also scheduled for TNA111 this Wednesday, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) defends the TNA Tag Team titles against GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) plus Jeff Hardy will be in action when he faces Petey Williams in a rematch.
TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG)! TNA111| JEFF HARDY V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE!
TNA champion, Chris Harris was backstage with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of tonight’s impromptu tag team match pitting TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting against TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode and Eric Young. Harris told Hudson that there is a rule in this business to always bring your gear regardless of whether you are booked or not because you never know what’s going to happen. Harris said if he wants to be a respected champion and if Harris wants to be regarded as a role model and considered the face of TNA then he had to do the right thing and the right thing was to help Sting earlier tonight.
MATCH 2| CHRIS HARRIS & STING V BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG MAIN EVENT Bobby Roode and Eric Young as a team have a good record, they have won 4 of their 6 matches and while they have only teamed together a small amount of times it is still 6 more times than Chris Harris and Sting have teamed together. Until a couple of weeks ago Sting admitted that he didn’t even respect Chris Harris and his reign as TNA champion.
At one point during the match Callis actually accused Chris Harris of setting Sting up here tonight to take a beating from Bobby Roode and Eric Young.
Match turned into a really good tag team match. Bobby Roode and Eric Young especially if he can get his head straight have big futures ahead of them as they matched and at times dominated the TNA champion and a legend in the wrestling business but in the end it wasn’t enough as Sting led his team to victory after he pinned Young after planting Young with his Scorpion Death drop. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS & STING BEAT BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG VIA PIN FALL
Fans were on their feet in celebration as Sting had his hand raised in victory as Chris Harris rolled back into the ring applauding Sting just as the match official without thinking handed Sting the TNA title, which Sting took and raised above his head while letting out a trademark woo. Chris Harris jaw dropped seeing Sting with the TNA title as it must have dawned on Harris that come TNA112| FINALE that image of Sting with the TNA title may become a reality. Harris quickly covered up his disapproval as Sting handed Harris his TNA championship. Harris and Sting exchanged words in the middle of the ring as Harris exited the ring allowing Sting to celebrate the victory.
Chris Harris rolled to ringside and stared at the TNA title before letting out a deep breath still trying to come to terms with the image of Sting with his TNA title before making his way back up the ramp while looking at the TNA title the entire way. Sting continued to celebrate before turning to Chris Harris who was now staring back at Sting from the top of the ramp as TNA IMPACT went off the air.

Time Limits 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
Also tonight Jeff Hardy would be in action when he takes on Petey Williams, a match Coach D’Amore requested after Hardy beat Williams on TNA IMPACT a couple of weeks ago. Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) take on the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode will be in action. Also tonight the four men fighting for the right to be part of the biggest match in TNA history, the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory which will be for the TNA championship will share a ring tonight. TNA champion, Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels, James Storm and Sting will all be in the same ring later tonight!
MATCH 1| KEN PHOENIX V KID KASH NOTE| KEN PHOENIX IS YET TO WIN A MATCH SINCE WINNING HIS SPOT ON THE TNA ROSTER. PHOENIX IS CURRENT 0-4 Due to the round robin stage of the TNA Championship Series being complete tonight was giving everyone who was not in the Series an opportunity to compete on Pay per View. Proving again how important it was to be a part of the TNA Championship Series, you need to win to get into the Series and if you’re not in the TNA Championship Series you’ll miss out on making money.
Kash the angry bitter veteran showed Phoenix no respect slapping Phoenix throughout the match. Kash genuinely believes that he should be mixing it with the best TNA has to offer. Phoenix added to Kash’s misery however by picking up his first victory as part of the TNA roster upsetting and shocking Kash following a cross body from the top rope. RESULT| KEN PHOENIX BEAT KID KASH VIA PIN FALL
Ken Phoenix was over the moon after the bell jumping around in delight; Phoenix even hugged the match official as Don Callis called Phoenix pathetic. Phoenix even offered his hand to kid Kash who didn’t hesitate in slapping the taste out of Phoenix’s mouth which actually got some cheers from the crowd. Kash floored Phoenix from behind before rolling out of the ring angry with the loss while the match official checked on Ken Phoenix who still has a lot to learn in the wrestling business.
Quick highlights were shown from last week and the brawl which broke out between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) during their contract signing only for Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu to return and help their AME brothers leaving the top contenders on their backs. GREATNESS was shown getting ready while Tenay noted that AME had refused TNA cameras access to their locker room tonight.
Video package aired looking at the TNA careers of both Christopher Daniels and James Storm including their rivalry. Daniels has been on top of TNA pretty much since day 1 becoming the first ever TNA champion after beating the entire roster to win the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold. Daniels, AJ Styles and Low Ki set the standard and for the first year was the spine of TNA with their battles over the TNA championship. James Storm the no messing around ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ was just concentrating on making a name for himself and nobody has competed in or won more matches in TNA than James Storm. Storm finally earned a TNA title shot only for Christopher Daniels to cost Storm his shot by attacking and injuring Storm causing Storm to miss a couple of months of action and then on Storm’s return, Daniels humbled Storm by making Storm tap out. Many questioned Storm after the loss with some writing Storm off but Storm has responded by earning a place in the finals of the TNA Championship Series and will meet Christopher Daniels who went through the Series without picking up a loss. James Storm has struggled in the past to prove he belongs and win the big one but Storm is desperate to earn the one opportunity he’ll need to become the new TNA champion.
NEXT WEEK| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
MATCH 2| JEFF HARDY V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE HIGHLIGHTS| 06.08.04| TNA IMPACT| JEFF HARDY BEAT PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL Jeff Hardy competing in only his 3rd match since debuting in TNA back in June again mainly due to the TNA Championship Series – Hardy has made it clear that he is in TNA to become the TNA champion.
Hardy again received a rock star like reaction from the crowd in attendance. Hardy just oozes charisma. Again Petey Williams the self pro claimed greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada tested Hardy and the two had a good match. It seemed like it was going to finish the same way as the first with a Hardy Swanton bomb but Williams managed to get his knees up and immediately wanted to hit his Canadian Destroyer only for Hardy to counter and drop Williams with his Twist of Fate for the victory. RESULT| JEFF HARDY BEAT PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
After Jeff Hardy had his arm rose in victory and celebrated with his fans Hardy stopped at ringside to speak with TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari. Daivari congratulated Hardy on his victory which Hardy gave credit to the fans for before saying he was coming for the TNA title. Daivari then changed the subject to CM Punk and Punk’s comments a couple of weeks ago about why Hardy left his previous employment. Hardy told Daivari that they had covered this already and people don’t need to worry about CM Punk on cue CM Punk walked out with a microphone in hand…
Punk told everyone that if Hardy wasn’t going to tell everyone then Punk would. Hardy was not happy and immediately abandoned his interview and went for Punk as Punk told everyone that Jeff Hardy was fired because Hardy failed a drug test and failed to admit he had a problem. Punk called Hardy a junkie as Hardy ran at Punk only for TNA security and officials to get in between Hardy and Punk. Punk backed away but was laughing in Hardy’s face calling Hardy weak and an addict. Borash on commentary called CM Punk a horrible human being. Hardy was furious but was being restrained by officials as CM Punk stood smug on the stage before telling everyone that he would not be censored. Last week CM Punk again cost AJ Styles his opportunity at the TNA title which Punk took from AJ in the first place and now CM Punk has just embarrassed Jeff Hardy revealing Hardy’s personal information. CM Punk finally left as officials backed away from Hardy who was still trying to calm himself down the fans tried to help with a Hardy chant but it was clear that the straight edge CM Punk has gotten to Jeff Hardy.
Video package aired looking at the history between TNA champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Sting was the last man to beat Chris Harris back at TNA58 over a year ago. Since then Chris Harris has become TNA champion and is looking to become the face of TNA wrestling. Harris reign as champion has come under a black cloud due to his negative tactics but Harris wanted to change everyone’s opinions by avenging his loss to Sting only for more controversy to arise when Harris cheated to beat Sting. Harris who prides himself on being professional apologised to Sting a number of times before granting Sting a rematch at TNA title after Sting admitted that he does not respect Harris. After Harris told Sting he would be looking to beat Sting in their rematch Sting agreed to put their history behind them and the two men shook hands and since then Harris and Sting have teamed up to beat Bobby Roode & Eric Young in a tag team match. Chris Harris has a lot to prove to most in TNA and while Harris seems to have finally earned the respect of Sting, next week Chris Harris will be looking to prove he is a great champion when Harris defends the TNA title against the biggest name in TNA, a legend a former multi times World champion, ‘The Icon’ Sting.
NEXT WEEK| TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
MATCH 3| AMAZING RED V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. MICHAEL SHANE & TRACI BROOKS New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) have been disrespectful to Jerry Lynn and Amazing Red over recent weeks mocking Lynn’s performance in the TNA Championship Series and calling Lynn past it while attacking Red after Red’s victory over Michael Shane. New Millennium also hold a victory over the first ever TNA Tag Team champions.
Even though CM Punk appeared earlier tonight all men entered into the TNA Championship Series were given the night off tonight from an in ring perspective only Christopher Daniels and James Storm were scheduled to be here tonight so Red’s partner Jerry Lynn was at home resting tonight while Red looked revenge on Kazarian. Red and Kazarian had a good little match but in the end Kazarian picked up the victory after Shane distracted Red which allowed Kazarian to pin Red following his pump kick. RESULT| FRANKIE KAZARIAN BEAT AMAZING RED VIA PIN FALL
New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) w. Traci Brooks continue to have the beating of Jerry Lynn & Amazing Red and after the bell they took great delight in celebrating and posing over Red’s fallen body while calling out Jerry Lynn.
MATCH 4| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) Footage was shown from TNA109 where Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) shockingly jumped Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) from behind while screaming that London & Sydal cost them their shot at the TNA Tag Team titles.
Pre match comments aired from Zero Gravity where Paul London called Bad Street Boys delusional explaining that Matthews & York believe that if Zero Gravity were successful and became the TNA Tag Team champions then Bad Street Boys believed they were entitled to the first shot because they offered Zero Gravity the first shot. London told Bad Street Boys they were entitled to nothing and no one gets handed freebies here in TNA and now the only thing Bad Street Boys is entitled to now is an ass kicking.
Announcers discussed the former mutual respect between Zero Gravity and Bad Street Boys. BSB have failed twice to become the TNA Tag Team champions and the announcers mentioned how BSB are not willing to earn a 3rd shot they were just hoping to cash in on Zero Gravity’s success. Zero Gravity and Briscoe Brothers who haven’t teamed up in a while put on a very good match. Zero Gravity wants to make sure that they are in line for a future shot at the TNA Tag Team titles and they did themselves no harm tonight and responded well to losing the Best of 5 Series to GREATNESS by beating the Briscoe Brothers after London pinned Mark following his 450 splash. RESULT| ZERO GRAVITY BEAT BRISCOE BROTHERS VIA PIN FALL
Zero Gravity were celebrating on the stage as the announcers spoke about how after their classic Best of 5 Series against GREATNESS, Zero Gravity should be in line for the next shot at the TNA Tag Team titles. Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) again floored London and Sydal from behind which actually knocked Sydal from the stage! Sydal was down holding his ankle but BSB didn’t stop there they then spiked London on the stage with their Hangman DDT. TNA officials were out to stop the beating while paramedics were quick to check on Sydal who was down holding his ankle and London who was out cold as Bad Street Boys screamed that they deserve to be the TNA Tag Team champions!
Announcers were shown at ringside as they quickly spoke about the change in attitude of Bad Street Boys while wishing a speedy recovery to Zero Gravity who were shown being helped backstage. Tonight Zero Gravity would have been hoping to become the new TNA Tag Team champions instead they are being helped out of the arena after being attacked and injured by Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews).
SUNDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2004| TNA BOUND FOR GLORY!!
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring hyped the biggest event in TNA history scheduled for Sunday 7th November 2004 – TNA Bound for Glory which will be headlined by a TNA championship match and next week we will find out who will be competing in said match when ‘The Icon’ Sting challenges TNA champion, Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels faces James Storm in the finals of the TNA Championship Series, the winners will then meet at TNA Bound for Glory.
Daivari introduced the four individuals who came out separately in the following order Christopher Daniels, James Storm, TNA champion Chris Harris and Sting. Daniels was wearing a tuxedo and was again carrying his bottle of champagne. Harris again showed his respect to Sting by allowing Sting to enter last. All four men took a corner; Storm was just in a t shirt and jeans while Sting was dressed in his trademark gear. Daivari told the four men that tonight was their last opportunity to address their opponents next week and potentially their future opponent at TNA Bound for Glory.
Chris Harris grabbed the microphone first and said he wished everyone in this ring the best but next week and TNA Bound for Glory are the most important matches of his career which could define his career. Harris is honoured to be the TNA champion and works every second of every day to be the best champion possible and a champion everyone can be proud off because there is nothing Harris wants more than to become the face of TNA wrestling and by coming out of TNA Bound for Glory as TNA champion gets Harris a step closer to achieving his dream. Storm seemed to laugh at Harris comments before turning away in disbelief, Harris seen Storm’s reaction and didn’t look pleased but before Harris could say anything Daniels snatched the microphone from Harris before telling Harris that Chris Harris, not Sting and especially not James Storm will be walking out of the biggest night in TNA’s history as the TNA champion. Daniels has beaten every man in this ring Harris and Storm on a couple of occasions. Daniels reminded everyone that the champagne is on ice and Daniels is dressed to celebrate. Daniels claimed he has carried this company on his back from the first day he walked in the door and is without question God’s gift to professional wrestling and while Harris is hiding behind champions rules and Sting is hiding behind his legacy and James Storm is just simply out of his depth Christopher Daniels is levels above everyone else and his record doesn’t lie and no one is taking the TNA title away from him. Daniels turned to Storm and while pointing at Storm shouted at Storm that he can not win the big one and next week Christopher Daniels proves once again why he is the greatest wrestler in the world today!
As Daniels turned around Sting was standing in the middle of the ring, Daniels and Sting face to face maybe a preview of the Bound for Glory, Main Event. Sting told Daniels that he is not hiding behind anything and after Sting becomes the TNA champion next week then Sting hopes he gets to beat Daniels at Bound for Glory. Harris came over and told Sting that with all respect Sting would not be going on to Bound for Glory. Sting pushed Harris on his ass and turned to Daniels who backed away before telling everyone that next week Sting will make history and become the new TNA champion and then at TNA Bound for Glory in what will be in the pinnacle of his career Sting will successful retain the TNA title on the biggest night in TNA history. Sting turned to look at James Storm who was just stood in the corner watching the proceedings taking it all in before walking past Sting without saying a word and exiting the ring followed by Sting as TNA champion, Chris Harris still on the mat watched on while Christopher Daniels stared at Harris holding the TNA title tight.
Announcers at ringside reacted all not sure as to who would leave TNA112| FINALE next week successful and their place in the TNA Bound for Glory, Main Event set. Tenay noted that TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson was backstage with James Storm.
James Storm told TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson that he enjoyed that, he enjoyed watching as Sting, Daniels and Harris all claimed they would walk out of TNA Bound for Glory as the TNA champion. Storm said he got the feeling that no one is giving the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ a chance, Storm laughed at that before telling Hudson that nothing and no one is going to stop him. Storm said he is not the underdog and next week Storm will finally prove all his critics wrong, shut up all of his doubters when he proves he can win the big one by being the first man who has never been the TNA champion to beat Christopher Daniels then at TNA Bound for Glory without fail James Storm will become the new TNA champion. Storm told Hudson that he doesn’t just believe he knows that all he needs is that one opportunity to become the TNA champion and next week Storm will get that opportunity!
MATCH 5| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA T.V CHAMPION| BOBBY ROODE V SONJAY DUTT Bobby Roode making his first appearance on a TNA Pay per View as TNA T.V champion impressed in victory over Sonjay Dutt who has yet to settle in a division and has requested to TNA management to allow him to compete in the TNA Tag Team division and Dutt has a partner in mind. Roode who impressed opposite Sting and TNA champion this past Friday on TNA IMPACT picked up the victory following his fisherman buster supflex. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE BEAT SONJAY DUTT VIA PIN FALL
Announcers noted after the match that TNA T.V champion, Bobby Roode would be joining Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio this Friday on TNA IMPACT which would also host a special sit down interview with former TNA champion, AJ Styles who just agonisingly just missed out on a spot in the finals of the TNA Championship Series. Announcers also noted that AJ Styles has requested to compete next week on the final weekly Pay per View.
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) NOTE| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE HAVE BEEN TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS FOR OVER 16 MONTHS RECORDS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE HAS A 71% WIN RATE FROM 38 MATCHES – GREATNESS HAS A 63% WIN RATE FROM 19 MATCHES GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) came out to a huge ovation; everyone wants to see Aries & Strong end the reign of AME here tonight. When AME came out, Monty Brown took the TNA Tag Team titles from AME security before ordering security and Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu backstage. AME want to send a message to GREATNESS and everyone else in TNA tonight and they are going to do it without any help.
Great match and the heat in the arena was unbelievable, everyone was dying to see the TNA Tag Team titles taken away from AME who many people believe have held the TNA Tag Team division hostage over the last 16 months. AME brought the fight to GREATNESS showing why they have been champions for so long, AME have beaten GREATNESS previously and were looking to do so again tonight. GREATNESS wouldn’t give up and would not stay down and in the end everyone in attendance got what they wanted as GREATNESS ripped the TNA Tag Team titles away from AME and they did it emphatically after Brown accidentally knocked Skipper from the ring apron, Skipper landed hard hurting his knee in the process and did not return which allowed Aries & Strong to take Brown apart, roaring elbow, running kick, running drop kick in the corner, uranage into a backbreaker, brain buster and a 450 splash before Strong locked Brown in his Strong Hold and the battered Monty Brown had no choice but to tap out! RESULT| GREATNESS BEAT ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE VIA TAP OUT TO BECOME THE NEW TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
The fans nearly blew the roof of the arena. TNA has new TNA Tag Team champions! After 16 months Alpha Male Enterprise has finally been dethroned. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong – GREATNESS are the new TNA Tag Team champions!
Aries & Strong embraced on their knees in the middle of the ring as the ring announcer announced them as the new TNA Tag Team champions. Announcers congratulated GREATNESS on making history by becoming the 3rd ever TNA Tag Team champions. Aries and Strong were handed their TNA Tag Team titles which they clutched to their chests before raising them high above their heads. TNA111 went off the air as GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) celebrated making history by becoming the new TNA Tag Team champions.

Borash said Roode would have a keen interest in tonight’s show as both matches would feature men looking to earn a future shot at the TNA T.V championship.
TNA iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS CHRIS SABIN V BRENT ALBRIGHT DOUG WILLIAMS V ERIC YOUNG

HIGHLIGHTS| TNA111| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) TO BECOME THE NEW TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
After footage aired of GREATNESS becoming the new TNA Tag Team champions this past Wednesday live on Pay per View ending AME’s 16 month reign as champions. Borash and Douglas congratulated GREATNESS while Bobby Roode warned GREATNESS that he and Eric Young were looking at coming for the TNA Tag Team titles.
Borash hyped TNA112| FINALE this upcoming Wednesday live on Pay per View, which will be the last weekly TNA Pay per View ahead of the biggest night in TNA history on Sunday 7th November, 2004 – TNA Bound for Glory. Main Event for Bound for Glory will be for the TNA championship and will involve two of the following Christopher Daniels, James Storm, Sting and current TNA champion, Chris Harris. Tonight we would hear from all four men then Borash, Douglas & Roode would review each individual’s chances of headlining TNA Bound for Glory. Also tonight we would hear from former TNA champion, AJ Styles.
MATCH 1| DOUG WILLIAMS V ERIC YOUNG Doug Williams the former TNA T.V champion was jumped a number of times by Eric Young leading up to Williams’ defence against Bobby Roode. Mike Tenay is still confused about the relationship between Roode & Young while Don Callis just said they are friends. Doug Williams admittedly is not happy with his reign as TNA T.V champion and is looking to get another shot at the TNA T.V title but so are a number of others including Hernandez, Petey Williams and Chris Sabin to name a few.
Eric Young is a dangerous man and he and Doug Williams had a good scrap, Williams was after revenge while Young just likes hurting people. Williams did beat Young on his way to becoming the first TNA T.V champion and in the end the outcome was the same here tonight after Williams rocked Young with a number of knees before pinning Young following a tombstone pile driver the same move Williams used to win the TNA T.V title. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS BEAT ERIC YOUNG VIA PIN FALL
Announcers praised the performance of Doug Williams who is looking to rebuild a little following losing the TNA T.V title and disappointing showing overall in the TNA Championship Series. Williams who has wrestled more matches than anyone else since the start of the TNA New Year knows that if he wants to earn a shot at any TNA title he has to be winning his matches.
Bobby Roode in the studio was asked about his relationship with Eric Young who seems to idolise Bobby Roode. Roode just said he has been good to Young in the past and now while Roode doesn’t agree Eric Young believes he owes Bobby Roode. Roode wouldn’t answer any questions on the possibility of giving Doug Williams another shot at the TNA T.V title.
TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
TNA champion, Chris Harris said we are going into the two biggest matches in TNA history and the two biggest matches of Chris Harris’ career. Two matches which will define his career. All the sacrifices all the pain all the criticism will be worth it after Harris not just retains his TNA title but beats Sting and then goes on to headline the biggest most important night in TNA history at TNA Bound for Glory. Following TNA Bound for Glory everyone the world over will respect Chris Harris and he will then be seen as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
Sting said a year or so ago when he returned he never in a million years thought he would be in a position like he is now. Sting just wanted to come in and test himself against the future of this business the likes of Christopher Daniels, Low Ki, AJ Styles, Chris Harris etc but now it’s bigger than that and Sting gets to put the icing on his career by not only becoming the new TNA champion next Wednesday but Sting will also get to headline the biggest show in TNA history – TNA Bound for Glory, its show time folks!
Borash, Douglas & Roode spoke about the TNA championship match between Harris and Sting. Both hold a victory over the other technically but Harris as everyone knows had to cheat to beat Sting the last time out. Douglas who is a supporter of Harris’ said Chris Harris may have made the biggest mistake of his reign as champion when he promised to beat Sting because its not Harris’ job to beat Sting as champion its Sting’s job to beat Harris even if the fans don’t like Harris tactics. Harris has not lost in over a year but his last lost was against Sting at TNA58. They were split on whether this Wednesday would be the making of Chris Harris or whether the biggest name in TNA ‘The Icon’ Sting would make history by becoming the new TNA champion.
Quick video played looking back over the TNA Championship Series through the eyes of AJ Styles. AJ was in a top contenders match spot from the first week to the last and while James Storm and others closed the gap, AJ’s fate was in his own hands until a freak clash of heads with CM Punk in the closing moments of the final match of the series cost AJ Styles the chance to regain the TNA title he had stolen from him at the start of the year by the same man CM Punk…
Recorded comments aired from AJ Styles, AJ admitted to being gutted that he just missed out on a spot in the finals of the TNA Championship Series and was also angry that CM Punk gets to hold the fact that Punk was the one who cost AJ over AJ’s head. AJ called CM Punk a horrible man and admitted that he thought he got closure with Punk after AJ beat Punk in their Steel Cage match. AJ said failing to win the TNA Championship Series was a set back and AJ would have loved to headline TNA Bound for Glory, AJ promises one way or another coming out of TNA Bound for Glory everyone will be talking about AJ Styles and one day soon AJ will regain his TNA championship!
Borash revealed that AJ Styles will be in action at TNA112| FINALE, AJ requested to compete on the last weekly Pay per View. Borash quickly mentioned CM Punk being a horrible man and mentioned Punk embarrassing Jeff Hardy this past Wednesday by revealing personal information about Jeff Hardy. Shane Douglas said CM Punk will not be censored. Bobby Roode said coming out of TNA Bound for Glory everyone will not be talking about AJ Styles they will be talking about the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA, Bobby Roode!
MATCH 2| CHRIS SABIN V BRENT ALBRIGHT Chris Hero the leader of Heroes for Villains and Lance Archer another member were at ringside for Albright’s match against Chris Sabin. Hero who is having issues with Raven currently also has a history with Chris Sabin. Sabin has beaten Hero twice now in important matches once during the TNA Championship Series and the first being in the first ever TNA Ladder match – Mike Tenay noted that this upcoming Wednesday Lance Archer would be facing Raven.
Chris Sabin has admitted that he wants a shot at the TNA T.V title but like the rest of the contenders Chris Sabin will have to earn the opportunity. We haven’t seen too much from Brent Albright in singles competition but Albright is tough man who doesn’t mess around. Albright tossed Sabin around at will and it led to a very good match. Brent Albright showed that he has all the tools to be a contender here in TNA during the match but Sabin managed to pick up the victory after Albright missed a top rope head butt and Sabin capitalised quickly by rolling Albright up for the 3 count. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN BEAT BRENT ALBRIGHT VIA PIN FALL
Lance Archer slid straight into the ring after the bell to get his hands on Chris Sabin but Sabin wisely bailed as Chris Hero entered the ring to calm Archer down. Hero & Archer checked on Albright as Chris Sabin had his hand lifted on the ramp before motioning for the TNA T.V title as TNA champion, Bobby Roode watched on from the studio and as Chris Hero stared a hole in Sabin from the ring. Chris Hero has many enemies here in TNA.
TNA112| FINALE| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
Christopher Daniels made history by becoming the first ever TNA champion, Daniels beat the entire roster to become champion and for 8 months Daniels beat everyone while champion. Daniels has beaten Chris Harris, James Storm and Sting. There is not a better wrestler or bigger star in TNA than Christopher Daniels he is God’s gift to professional wrestling and he went through the entire TNA Championship Series competing against the best TNA has to offer without being beaten. Daniels has never been beaten by someone who has never been TNA champion. They are some of the reasons Daniels said why he will win the TNA Championship Series and why he will win the biggest match in TNA history at TNA Bound for Glory but the main reason is Daniels wants it more than anybody else and will not allow anyone to take his dream away from him. TNA Bound for Glory – Christopher Daniels once again makes history and becomes the TNA champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.
James Storm asked whether he was as big a name as Sting or if he had won as many matches, Main Events or titles as Sting, Christopher Daniels or Chris Harris and the answer to all questions was no but Storm is still refusing to call himself the underdog. Storm said this is not a Cinderella, Rocky Balboa story, Storm has earned the right to be here and Storm will prove everyone wrong when he leaves TNA Bound for Glory as the new TNA champion! Storm told everyone to believe because the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ knows that nothing is going to stop him now from achieving his dream of becoming the TNA champion.
Borash, Douglas & Roode reacted to the comments from both Christopher Daniels and James Storm. Douglas who has been critical of Storm in the past wanted to make it clear that James Storm is the underdog but not because Storm does not belong because Storm has earned his spot he’s had a little luck but nothing can be taken away from Storm but Storm is the underdog because Daniels, Harris and Sting have all been in positions like this previously. James Storm may have won more matches than anyone else in TNA but Storm (14) has also lost more matches than Sting, Harris and Daniels combined (13). Douglas said he has never doubted that James Storm is very, very good but this Wednesday we find out whether James Storm is great. Again the team couldn’t split Christopher Daniels or James Storm saying they have learned never to bet against Daniels while James Storm has worked to hard to lose it all at the final hurdle again. TNA IMPACT went off the air with Jeremy Borash hyping the last ever TNA weekly Pay per View this Wednesday before an advert for TNA Bound for Glory aired.

Tonight Christopher Daniels, James Storm, Sting and TNA champion, Chris Harris are looking for one last great moment which will see them advance to the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory!
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay at ringside with Jeremy Borash & Don Callis welcomed everyone watching to TNA112| FINALE the last weekly TNA Pay per View the announcers quickly went over some of their favourite moments before hyping tonight’s huge Main Events; the finals of the TNA Championship Series and the TNA championship match!
TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| FINALS| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
Time Limits 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
Quick video package played looking at tonight’s Main Events involving Christopher Daniels, James Storm, Sting and TNA champion, Chris Harris. Who will tonight and advance to the Main Event of TNA Bound for Glory!
MATCH 1| AJ STYLES V ROBBIE ECKOS W. JOHNNY CURTIS AJ Styles was given an opportunity on the first weekly TNA Pay per View along with Low Ki and both men took it with both hands and AJ the former TNA champion hasn’t looked back since. AJ requested to compete tonight wanting to be apart of the last weekly Pay per View but also to put behind him failing to advance to the finals of the TNA Championship Series.
Fans had fun watching AJ take apart the loud mouth Robbie Eckos with all of his favourite moves including the springboard into a reverse DDT and Pele kick before putting Eckos out of his misery following a Styles Clash. RESULT| AJ STYLES BEAT ROBBIE ECKOS
Following the match AJ Styles spoke with TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari in the middle of the ring. AJ thanked Nashville for being the home of TNA for the last 2 plus years, telling them that they have watched AJ grow as a man and AJ will never forget the fact that he won his first TNA title here in Nashville, Tennessee and very soon TNA and AJ will return and AJ plans on returning with the TNA championship! AJ went around ringside afterwards slapping hands with the fans.
Footage was shown from early this morning of TNA champion, Chris Harris along with Norman Smiley being the first to arrive at the arena ahead of tonight’s match against Sting. Christopher Daniels was then shown backstage in his dressing room placing his bottle of champagne in an ice bucket. Sting was shown pacing around in the rafters of the arena before James Storm was shown backstage getting stripped ready for action later tonight.
MATCH 2| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) HIGHLIGHTS| 13.08.04| TNA IMPACT| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS BEAT BAD STREET BOYS VIA DISQUALIFICATION Following footage of the previous meeting between the two teams which BG James & Ron Killings won via a dq after Bad Street Boys ignored the match official 5 count, more footage was shown from last week where Bad Street Boys again attacked Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) from behind. Matt Sydal was knocked off the stage before Matthews & York spiked London with their Hangman DDT on the stage. Both members of Zero Gravity are recovering from the attack at home.
Pre match Bad Street Boys recorded comments where they claimed that they were entitled to a free pass for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles because they have proven time and time again they deserve a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles and they are not willing to go through it all again but now if they have to push their way to the front of the line then that is what they will do starting with Zero Gravity and now tonight BG James & Ron Killings. Matthews & York finished up by warning new TNA Tag Team champions, GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) that they were coming for them.
Good match between two teams who have challenged for the TNA Tag Team titles previously but have yet failed to become the TNA Tag Team champions and it seems while BG James & Ron Killings are still willing to fight to earn another title shot, Bad Street Boys are not and want to be handed another shot at the titles. BSB picked up the victory after Killings was pinning York only for Matthews to hit Killings with a top rope elbow to the back of the head while the match official was not looking allowing York to pin Killings for the victory. RESULT| BAD STREET BOYS BEAT BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL
Now Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) are no longer the TNA Tag Team champions its like a fresh start for the entire TNA Tag Team division and Bad Street Boys are looking to take advantage of that to get a shot at GREATNESS’ (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) TNA Tag Team titles.

Alpha Male Enterprise music hit in the arena which surprised the announcers as they didn’t believe AME were scheduled tonight but led by AME Security, Monty Brown, Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu and Elix Skipper on crutches with his knee in a brace made their way down the aisle and into the ring. AME Security surrounded the ring while the four members entered the ring, Banks & Fatu helping Skipper while Brown grabbed a microphone.
Monty Brown said tonight was the last weekly TNA Pay per View saying tonight is the end of an era and maybe it’s the end of Alpha Male Enterprise! Brown’s statement seemed to shock everyone including the men in the ring. Brown said he was calling an impromptu review and maybe AME will not live forever. AME said recently they targeted the TNA T.V title they put all their eggs into that basket and the reality is they failed. Antonio Banks didn’t look happy with Brown’s comments and last week they lost the TNA Tag Team titles. Brown told the other AME members that he loves them like brothers but sometimes that isn’t enough because AME is bigger and more important than any brotherhood and sometimes he has to make difficult decisions.
Brown approached Ekmo Fatu and told Fatu that he took a bullet for the cause and he put AME before his own needs and Brown will always be grateful for that and as a loyal soldier Ekmo Fatu will always have a place in AME! Brown then approached Banks and told Banks that Brown proudly told the world that Antonio Banks was the future of AME and would lead AME into the future they as a team put their full focus and attention on Antonio Banks becoming the first TNA T.V champion but Banks did not get the job done. Monty Brown said AME has no room for failures, no room for the weak, despite how much Brown loves him Brown can’t carry failures any longer. Monty Brown pointed at Elix Skipper who was standing in the corner, Brown told Antonio Banks that he still believes Banks is the future of AME but told Skipper his time was up then told Ekmo Fatu to take care of business.
Elix Skipper was in shock with nowhere to go; Ekmo Fatu didn’t seem to want to hurt Skipper – Monty Brown just literally turned his back on his seemingly former tag team partner. Ekmo Fatu wasn’t sure what to do when Antonio Banks had a word in Fatu’s ear. Antonio Banks tried to have a word then with Monty Brown but Brown ignored Banks. Fatu slowly approached Skipper before slowly pushing Skipper back into the corner. Skipper was begging Fatu not to hurt but then as Fatu apologised to Skipper – Antonio Banks dropped Skipper with a running boot to the face. Ekmo Fatu turned and left the ring before Monty Brown kneeled over Skipper and took from Skipper an AME necklace before wrapping it around his own fist and repeatedly punching Skipper in the face until Skipper was a bloody mess. AME Security was stopping officials from getting into the ring. Announcers were disgraced at what Monty Brown & Antonio Banks were doing to their former partner. Brown calmly stood and fixed his suit before placing Skipper’s AME necklace which was now covered in Skipper’s blood around Antonio Banks neck. Monty Brown grabbed the microphone again and said AME was now stronger than ever and AME will live forever and will outlive everyone! Monty Brown and Antonio Banks calmly left the ring protected by AME Security while paramedics quickly checked on Elix Skipper while the announcers condone the actions of Alpha Male Enterprise.
