Caught my eye. Don't put Team 3D in MEM though. Good luck. Actually, that'd be great. Have Team 3D join the MEM, and have the MCMG be their main feud. The Young Lions eventually gain respect for MCMG. Have Jarrett be a mole or a silent beneficiary to the MEM.

Nothing much to say right now, other than that this should be awesome. Coming from you, I expect some great booking and tremendous writing. Please, take the X Divison Championship off of Bashir, push the Motor City Machine Guns, and sign Giant Bernard. Good luck.

TNA IMPACT Preview for November 13th 2008Following Turning Point the question on everybody’s lips is exactly how the TNA Young Lions will be able to bounce back from their humiliating night of losses against the Main Event Mafia. Samoe Joe and AJ Styles will appear in the IMPACT zone to talk about Turning Point. Also, Christian Cage will be forced to join the Main Event Mafia as a result of his loss to Booker T last Sunday. Kurt Angle has stated that Cage will be formally inducted into the Main Event Mafia this week on IMPACT. Will Cage join the dominant group without argument? Following Turning Point Mick Foley has signed a big night of TNA action. The war between the Main Event Mafia and the Young Lions will continue as Scott Steiner represents the Main Event Mafia against the monster Abyss, who will be looking for revenge following his loss to Kurt Angle, while Kurt Angle takes on Jay Lethal. Also, in six man tag team action Eric Young teams with the Motor City Machine Guns to take on Sheik Abdul Bashir and Beer Money Inc.

TNA IMPACT Results for November 13th 2008The TNA IMPACT opening video aired, followed by a Turning Point video. The pyro hit, and Mike Tenay and Don West ran down the card. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles made their way down to the ring, looking completely serious. Both men grabbed microphones, and Styles talked about how Sunday night the Main Event Mafia got one up on the Originals of TNA, but that it was a one night glitch, and that it wouldn’t happen again. Joe addressed Kevin Nash, and promised that it isn’t over, and that he will get another chance to destroy him. AJ promised that the TNA World championship will soon be around the waist of a TNA original, and that man is simply phenomenal. Nikita vs. Velvet SkyApparently former WWE diva ‘Katie Lea’ has signed with TNA and she showed why with a great performance. The knockouts were given a decent amount of time and strung together some impressive sections, but there wasn’t anything spectacular of note. Nikita got the win on her debut following the Kat Nip, and she could have a big career ahead of her in TNA. Winner: NikitaIMPACT cut to Abyss and Matt Morgan backstage with Jeremy Borash, who asks them about Abyss’ loss to Kurt Angle on Sunday. Morgan berated the Main Event Mafia, calling them ‘Glory hogs’ while Abyss declared “First the Main Event Mafia, then the Tag titles, then... Doomsday” Rhino vs. Sonjay DuttA good match, but Rhino really needs to be involved in a decent feud soon. Dutt and Rhino put on a good power vs. Speed style match, with Dutt keeping out of the way of Rhino for portions of the match, only for Rhino to demolish Dutt towards the end of the match, finishing him off with the Gore. Winner: RhinoJeremy Borash caught up with Eric Young backstage. Borash asked him about when he was going to challenge for the X-Division championship, to which Young began ranting about the Main Event Mafia. Borash repeated the original question, to which Young answered “oh, Final Resolution” before walking off. A “who is Suicide” video package aired, which Mike Tenay and Don West acknowledge and ‘apologized’ for somebody hacking into their broadcast with such a video. Kurt Angle vs. Jay LethalA superb match, and this could easily be the moment that Lethal makes the transition to a serious threat to the Main Event Mafia. Angle threw everything he had at Lethal, but Lethal showed heart and refused to be beaten easily. Lethal got in a lot of solid offence, and there were points when he seriously looked like he was going to get the win, but Angle eventually locked in the ankle lock, and despite Lethal giving it his all he had no choice but to tap out. Winner: Kurt AngleIMPACT cuts backstage where the rest of the Main Event Mafia are laughing about the TNA Young Lions. Rhino overhears them, and tells them that its not just the Young Lions that “you has beens need to worry about”. Rhino and Sting went eye to eye, and Rhino pointed at the TNA World Heavyweight championship before walking off. Eric Young & The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir & Beer Money Inc.An excellent match, and these kind of six man tag matches are quickly becoming a highlight of IMPACT. Young continued his impressive streak with a superb performance, and there were several spots with Young embarrassing Bashir. The Guns also made it clear that they still want the TNA tag team titles. All six men went all out, although Bashir’s performance seemed lacking at times, but the ending stretch saw all six men brawling in the ring and Eric Young pinning Bashir with the Death Valley driver. Winner: Eric Young & The Motor City Machine GunsA TNA video package played highlighting the Main Event Mafia vs. Young Lions feud, with the focal point being TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting and AJ Styles. Abyss vs. Scott SteinerNot a superb match, and Scott Steiner really looked off his game, and it seems like his age is starting to catch up with him. Abyss managed to salvage the match and turned it into something worth watching. The match was built around brawling, and there were some good spots on the outside of the ring. Booker T attempted to interfere at one point, but Matt Morgan pulled him from the apron and the two began to brawl. The referee attempted to throw them out, but Kurt Angle came through the crowd and nailed Abyss in the back with a steel chair. Steiner followed up with the Frankensteiner for the win. Winner: Scott SteinerFollowing the commercial break the ring was all set up for Christian Cage’s official “induction” into the Main Event Mafia. All the Mafia members made their way to the ring, dressed out in suits, and Christian Cage followed, not wearing his provided suit. Angle and Booker T did most of the talking, mainly just plugging the Main Event Mafia. The music of AJ Styles hit mid way and he made his way out onto the ramp. Styles told Cage that he shouldn’t have to go through with this, but that he knows Cage is a man of his word. Styles then challenged Sting to put the TNA World Championship on the line next week. Before Sting could say a thing Angle accepted for him. As IMPACT went off the air Styles was grinning while the Main Event Mafia just stared him down.

It's good to see an opening segment without a run-in/brawl. Katie Lea debuting is fine, but a tad bit random. But she would make a good addition to the women's roster in TNA. Good promo with Morgan & Abyss. Wasn't a fan of the Rhino-Dutt match as I feel like Rhino is pretty much useless at this point. Unless you're building him up to lose to someone. Young was ok, and I like the hacking idea with the Suicide angle. Angle-Lethal was a great match, and I hope to continue to see big things from Jay. Rhino pointing at the world title? Please no. Six-man tag was fine, but I hope MCMG don't get the titles like they do in most TNA diaries. Steiner-Abyss is a good main event, and the non-clean finish made sense. Wasn't a fan of the focus quickly shifting from Cage to the title picture. But I hope AJ gets it, or at least someone else does to prevent Rhino from being near it. It was an overall well-booked show, and it was a good read. Keep up the good work, and please drop a reply to ECW 2007 when you get a chance.

Opening segment was good. I hope you don't have Nash vs. Joe again and I hope you give Styles the World Title soon.
Wow surprised you have Nikita but good signing. I think she is a great diva that just wont get a chance in WWE so I hope you use her well. Good win over Velvet Sky but surprised you didn't include any Beautiful People segment or reference or anything during it.
Please turn Abyss heel again and break him and Morgan up. Cant stand them together, find Morgan a new tag team partner. Abyss I hope gets a push when the whole Veteran vs. Young Lions storyline is over.
Bored of Rhino and Sonjay Dutt. I hope you do something with them soon otherwise take them off TV for a while so they can have a big return in a months time or something.
Please have Eric Young win at Final Resolution. Keep the belt on him longer then a week though.
Angle vs. Lethal sounds like a good match. Glad Lethal came out looking good. Can see Lethal being taken really serious soon and given a push.
Rhino stepping up against MEM is alright. I can see Rhino hating them and making it clear but I don't see him joining the Young Lions. Hope you take him in a different direction as the main Young Lions should stay Joe, Styles, MCMG, Lethal.
The Six man tag match sounded good. Glad Young Lions got the win. I hope MCMG become Tag Champions soon as they deserve them. Would like to see them include the Tag Titles in MEM feud but none of them five can really team up well enough to have a good little rivalry with MCMG.
I hope this is Steiners last run in wrestling its about time he stopped. Too bad Abyss couldn't get the win but at least it keeps him strong with all the interference.
The end segment was good however I didn't like the end to it. I wasn't a fan of everyone just forgetting all about Cage and making the whole thing about Styles, Sting and the World Title. I feel Cage should have done something or do what TNA did and have MEM refuse to let him join and beat the crap out of him until Styles makes the save or something. Look forward to Sting/Styles though and I hope Sting retains, would rather Styles win the belt at a PPV in a big hyped match.
Overall good job. I enjoyed Impact. Hope we see this feud develop a bit further next week.

TNA News: Scott Steiner Injured, Cage staying, Raven to return?- Scott Steiner picked up an arm injury during his match with Abyss, and will be out of action for at least six weeks. This is bad news for TNA, as Steiner has been a big part of the Main Event Mafia storyline. Scott Steiner has been injured a number of times recently, and many critics are saying its time for Steiner to consider retiring. - Christian Cage has not yet signed a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment, and may remain with Total Non Stop Action if they make him a deal he deems acceptable. Christian believes that TNA’s schedule would allow him more time with his family, and if they can provide the money he’s demanding, then it looks like he will remain with TNA. - TNA wants to put more focus on the X-Division, and it looks like it could once again become a focal point on its shows and pay per views. There are plans for the Curry Man gimmick to be dropped in the coming weeks and for Christopher Daniels to become a focal point of the revived division. - There has been some talk of Raven returning to TNA on a short term contract to be involved in the Main Event Mafia vs. Young Lions feud. Raven has shown some interest recently in making a short return, but if so it is likely to only be for a number of months. - World Wrestling Entertainment has recently cut a large number of development and lower card talent. TNA has evidently signed Katarina ‘Nikita’ Walters, who was known as Katie Lea in WWE to a contract to work in the Knockouts Division. - TNA IMPACT was said to be great this week by those in the arena watching live and on internet message boards. The opening segment was the most watched off the night, followed by the ending segment between the Main Event Mafia and AJ Styles.

Alright opening segment used mainly to put over the feud between Joe, Styles and the other TNA Young Lions in the feud with the Main Event Mafia. Not much to note about that, You could of had some hype for having Nikita [Katie-Lea] debut in TNA in my eyes. Hype is better than suprises in my eyes. Seemed like a good womens match to kick off iMPACT. Rhino beating Sonjay Dutt is a good move in my eyes, I hate Sonjay Dutt, he's my least favourite X-Division star. Kurt Angle beating Jay Lethal is an alright move, sounded like a good match though, too. Young and MCMG defeating Bashir and Beer Money is a good call, seemed like an awesome match but I hope you don't have Sheik Abdul Bashir win the TNA X-Division Championship back. The main event sounded terrible, but looking at the news update no wonder. It's laughable that Steiner is on the sidelines again. Hopefully Raven fills his spot if he returns.

TNA IMPACT Preview for 20th November 2008With three weeks left until Final Resolution 2008 the big question on everybody’s lips is who will walk into the event with the TNA World Championship around their waist. AJ Styles will challenge Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship directly in the IMPACT zone. Also, Mick Foley has stated that he will make an announcement regarding the main event at the start of the show. The Main Event Mafia will also be involved in another match during IMPACT, with Kurt Angle and Booker T taking on Abyss and Matt Morgan, who will be receiving a TNA Tag Team title shot at Final Resolution. Last week Booker T, Kurt Angle and Matt Morgan all interfered in Abyss’s match, so tonight they will all clash inside the six sided ring. Also at TNA Final Resolution the Feast or Fired match will make its return. Who will feature in this match where both title shots and contracts are on the line? Tune into IMPACT over the next three weeks to find out the ten competitors.

The two heavyweight vs. X-Division matches seemed very WCW-ish. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) There were a few things that I really liked about the show. Working a lot of people into the heavyweight title picture is a good thing, as it sets up options and possibilities down the line. DTP, I have to disagree with you regarding Nikita. She's not really a big enough name to hype... but to be honest, I don't know about her coming in. She's as mediocre as all get out, and not that I'm opposed to mediocre talent, but I'm hoping that you have a good idea for her. I like the idea of Raven returning, but don't think he fits in that feud at all. Similarly, losing Steiner like that sucks.

TNA IMPACT Results for 20th November 2008The TNA IMPACT opening video aired, followed by Mike Tenay and Don West running down tonight’s card, which is to be headlined by the TNA World Heavyweight Championship match between AJ Styles and Sting. TNA’s primary shareholder Mick Foley kicked off IMPACT, making his way to the ring and cutting a promo on tonight’s blockbuster main event, as well as mentioning the return of the Feast or Fired match at Final Resolution. Foley then called out Christian Cage, who came out alone, and asked him where his allegiances lay. Cage told him that he has no allegiances to anybody, to which Foley told him that he has the right idea, before announcing Christian Cage as the special enforcer for tonight’s main event, and that if anybody else attempted to interfere in the main event, they will be fired! Consequences Creed & Shark Boy vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Volador Jr.A good fast paced X-Division tag team match to kick of the action tonight, and it looked to be a way for TNA to get some of the lower card involved in the show. Volador looked really good out there, and Creed is certainly one to watch for 2009, but by the end of the match, Creed got the pinfall over Tanahashi following the Creed-DT. Winners: Consequences Creed & Shark BoySamoa Joe made his way to the ring, microphone in hand, and cut a promo on how his problems with Nash didn’t seem to be able to be settled over a singles match, and challenged Kevin Nash to a 5 vs. 5 elimination tag match at Final Resolution – the Main Event Mafia vs. The TNA Frontline. Kevin Nash, backed up by the TNA World champion Sting came out onto the ramp, and accepted the challenge, promising that at Final Resolution, there will be five members of the Main Event Mafia standing tall. A Samoa Joe ‘Cross the Line’ video package aired. LAX vs. Rock N’ Rave InfectionMike Tenay made the point prior to the match that both of these teams will be involved in the Feast or Fired match at Final Resolution. Both of these teams had the mix of power and speed, but it with the Latin American Exchange that really utilised this to their advantage, hitting some superb double team moves, finishing Rave off with the Gringo Cutter for the win. Winners: LAXIMPACT cut to Samoa Joe backstage with AJ Styles. Styles told Joe that no matter what the result here tonight, whether he walked out with the TNA World championship or not, that he will have Samoa Joe’s back at Final Resolution. Nikita vs. Angelina LoveNikita continues her apparent mission to defeat both members of the Beautiful People in consecutive weeks, but this week she had a much tougher challenge as Love didn’t make life easy on Nikita. Both knockouts put on a great performance, but Love was the star of the match, and really sold everything Nikita threw at her, including the moonsault Nikita used to win the match. Winner: NikitaPost match the TNA Knockout’s champion Awesome Kong walked down to the ring, and despite Nikita’s attempts to fight her off Kong flattened Nikita, and would have continued doing so if Taylor Wilde and Roxxi hadn’t made the save. A TNA Knockout’s ‘Cross the Line’ video package aired.IMPACT cut backstage, where the Main Event Mafia was all talking to Christian Cage. Angle told him that he was a member of the Main Event Mafia now, and should be looking out for Sting tonight, to which Cage told him that he “knows what he has to do” before walking off. Mike Tenay and Don West promoted Final Resolution, and officially announced Kevin Rudolf’s “Let it Rock” as the official theme for the event. Booker T & Kurt Angle vs. Abyss & Matt MorganA really good tag team match that not only featured great storytelling, but also that Abyss & Morgan are ready to challenge for the TNA tag team titles at Final Resolution. Abyss really attacked Angle right from the start, and it is obvious that he still wants to get his hands on Angle one on one, while Booker T attempted to avoid getting in the ring at all times. The ending came with all four men brawling, when Angle attempted to lock the ankle lock on Abyss. Abyss powered out of the submission move, sending Angle out of the ring, and Morgan hit the Hellevator on Booker T only for Sharmell to distract Abyss so that Angle could roll up Morgan and use the ropes for the pinfall. Winners: Kurt Angle & Booker TIMPACT cut to Team 3D backstage watching the nights action on a TV screen when Kevin Nash walked in. Nash told Team 3D that they shouldn’t be watching the action, but that they should be in it. Nash then offered Team 3D a space in the Main Event Mafia, and told them that they should be smart and join the right side. Nash left and Team 3D just looked at each other. Brother Ray started to talk but Devon interrupted with “Don’t even think about it” to which Ray replied “Think about what?” before IMPACT cut to commercial. TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match Sting vs. AJ StylesSpecial Enforcer: Christian CageAn incredible main event, made even better by the presence of Christian Cage at ringside, since everyone in the arena seemed to be on edge about what Cage would do. AJ really went for Sting from the very start of the match, at points looking like he wanted to injure Sting instead of pin him. Sting fought back, and controlled portions of the match, but AJ’s passion just looked like it would get the better of him, with AJ throwing every move in his arsenal at Sting. Styles was moments away from becoming the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion after hitting the Styles clash when Christian Cage broke up the pinfall by blasting AJ in the back with a steel chair, which led to the referee throwing the match out. Result: No Contest – Sting remains TNA World Heavyweight ChampionFollowing the match the rest of the Main Event Mafia made their way to the ring as Christian hit AJ Styles with another chair shot. IMPACT came to an end with the Main Event Mafia welcoming Cage into the fold, while Samoa Joe helped AJ backstage.

The latest edition of TNA iMPACT was very well written, Rated R. The opening segment was pretty interesting. I'm liking how you are carrying on this Christian Cage business. The opening tag team match was nothing special. However, it soundede very good, and I liked how you used Volador and Tanahashi. Keep it coming. I don't know about Creed teaming with Shark Boy, I think Lethal would have been better, but still glad they picked up the win. The Five on Five match should be amazing. Can't wait for Final Resolution. LAX/RNR was pretty sweet. I like the idea of putting them in the Feast or Fired. For some reason, I see LAX getting the TNA Tag Team title briefcase. The knockouts match was ok, but I have no clue who this Nikita woman is. Still, a good match. Please push the Beautiful People! Booker T/Kurt Angle versus Abyss/Matt Morgan was a great match. Nothing much to comment on, except I liked how Angle and Booker cheated to pick up the win. The Team 3D segment was interesting. I see them joining MEM in the near future, tbh. The main event sounded really good, but near the end, it got a little confusing. Maybe I just jumbled up the words, it just didn't make much sense. Anyways, it sounded really good, and I'm glad that it was a no contest. I can see a TNA World Heavyweight title match at Genesis with Styles and Sting, expecially with the tensions between them. Overall, a great iMPACT, and I'm anticipating where Cage will go. Thanks for the reply for TNA 2008.

TNA News: Roster cuts coming, Locker Room not happy with Angle- TNA will apparently be cleaning out their roster over the next few weeks of unused talent. This could mean that some lower card guys that aren’t really being used will be leaving the company, while rumours are that some new talent may be brought in. Shane Sewell was silently removed from the TNA roster page earlier this week, so it looks like he’s already gone, while BG James was also released from his TNA contract earlier this week. - Kurt Angle apparently got on the wrong side of the TNA locker room this past week after he refused to lose to Abyss and Matt Morgan in their tag team match. The original finish called for Morgan to pin Booker T following the Hellevator, but following Angle’s refusal to put Abyss & Morgan over the finish had to be changed. Booker T has apparently already had words with Angle over the incident, but the rest of the TNA locker room isn’t happy about the incident either. - We have received word that Christian Cage has indeed signed a new contract with TNA, and will be remaining with the company. This was one of the reasons for his big heel turn this past week on IMPACT. - This week’s TNA IMPACT has been reacted to very well by fans, with an online poll voting the Main Event Mafia/ Christian Cage backstage segment being the best of the night, followed by the Sting vs. AJ Styles main event.

I like how you didn't put over the Japanese guys. LAX push = good. The use of Katie Lea is pretty good, but I'd rather see TBP get a push. Good tag match with Angle & Booker picking up the win. Really good main event, with a well executed heel turn. I'm unsure about doing a world title match on TV. I think you could've done non-title but it's okay. I'm interested to see where you go with this because now the MEM is even more stacked. Maybe bring LAX into the fold more?
