TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling January 2004 TNA78 Wednesday 14th January, 2004
Champions TNA Champion| Chris Harris (1) | beat AJ Styles 07.01.04 TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (1) | beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn 16.4.03
Location| Nashville – Tennessee Announcers| Mike Tenay, Jeremy Borash & Don Callis
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open
TNA78 opened with a video package looking back at all the previous TNA Championship matches and all have one thing in common until last week. Last week for the first time a TNA Championship match was ruined by outside interference, CM Punk cost AJ Styles the TNA Championship unbeknown to the match official and Chris Harris. Harris would go to make AJ tap out to his Texas Clover leaf and afterwards an emotional Chris Harris would celebrate with his TNA Championship…
Mike Tenay at ringside started to introduce his broadcast partners Don Callis and Jeremy Borash but they were interrupted by former TNA Champion, AJ Styles storming but limping down the aisle showing the effects of last weeks title match. AJ was clearly still angry, AJ made his way around ringside and grabbed a microphone and before AJ had even made his way into the ring AJ was demanding CM Punk. AJ kept shouting for CM Punk ordering Punk to get out to the ring. AJ was livid that CM Punk had cost him the TNA Championship. AJ was not scheduled to be out here right now. Officials made their way to ringside and from outside of the ring were asking AJ to leave the ring but AJ told them he wasn’t going anywhere until he gets his hands on CM Punk…
TNA managements onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes made his way out and attempted to get into the ring but AJ warned Dusty that if he entered the ring he may regret it because AJ is blaming Dusty as well as TNA management as much as CM Punk for what happened last week as they never acted they never made sure Punk stayed out of his business. AJ told Dusty he can make things right by giving him CM Punk and his rematch for his TNA Championship, with them comments CM Punk’s music hit in the arena and the ‘Second City Saint’ walked out on to the stage with a big smile on his face waving at AJ Styles. AJ lost it and was straight out of the ring gunning for CM Punk but the officials and Dusty Rhodes held AJ back AJ tried to fight past but they restrained AJ as Punk told AJ to calm down telling him he wasn’t fooling anyone. Punk told AJ the reason he took the TNA title from AJ was simple it was because AJ took the TNA title from him and while the TNA title is still currently in the wrong hands after Punk is done with AJ Styles once and for all he will beat Chris Harris to finally get what is his the TNA Championship. More officials made their way out on to the stage and requested CM Punk leave which Punk did. AJ Styles was left pacing in anger at ringside while Dusty Rhodes told AJ to keep his head and they can talk business.
Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| Non-Title match| TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong)! Graphic| Tonight| James Storm V Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks! Announcers reacted at ringside to what happened between AJ Styles and CM Punk to kick off the show tonight. AJ Styles will not rest until he has gotten his revenge on CM Punk. Mike Tenay questioned how new TNA Champion, Chris Harris would react later tonight now Harris knows that CM Punk helped him become the new TNA Champion. Tonight we hear from the new TNA Champion for the first time since he became the champion.
Match 1| Chris Sabin, Danny Doring & Roadkill beat Michael Shane w. Alexis Laree and The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) Good exciting match to kick off the show between two tag teams who are looking to get into the TNA Tag Team title picture and Michael Shane and Chris Sabin who will meet at TNA80 and Shane has vowed to embarrass Sabin like Sabin embarrassed him when Sabin caused Shane to be the first man eliminated in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Tonight Sabin led his team to victory after pinning Stevens following his Cradle shock.
Graphic| Up Next| Raven Returns! Footage was shown from TNA73 where Raven spoke for the first time since returning at TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold. Raven revealed that he would wear his scalped head as a reminder to never get complacent again and vowed to take things to a new extreme to accomplish his last dream of becoming the TNA Champion…
Match 2| Raven beat Jimmy Rave w. ODB Jimmy Rave like BG James and Robbie Eckos is fighting to keep his job and after defeat tonight is now 2 matches away from losing his job just as Delirious, Shark Boy and Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) recently have. Raven dominated Rave before putting him away with his Even flow DDT.
Following the match Raven sat in the corner of the ring as ODB rolled into the ring to check on Rave and as TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari approached Raven to get a post match interview but Raven got up walked past Daivari spun ODB around and spiked ODB with an Even flow DDT shocking everyone watching before casually rolling out of the ring. Raven has just attacked a female! Announcers were freaking out asking what was going through Raven’s mind to attack ODB!
TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown outside of the arena speaking with journalists, later tonight everyone would hear from the new TNA Champion.
TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson was standing by backstage with James Storm ahead of Storm’s match against Frankie Kazarian. Hudson asked Storm for his thoughts on his match plus any thoughts on Chris Harris becoming the new TNA Champion. Storm told Hudson that what happened last week was a travesty with CM Punk costing AJ Styles the TNA Championship but the reality is it’s none of his business all Storm is interested in and focused on is becoming the next contender to the TNA title and like Storm has already told Chris Harris to his face Storm doesn’t care who he has to go through to get what he wants so the only message he has for pretty boy Frankie Kazarian is, sorry about your damn luck…
Video package aired looking at the man who needs no hype but has more nicknames than the entire TNA roster combined the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’ Frankie Kazarian who has beaten the likes of Raven, Doug Williams and Chris Sabin…
Match 3| James Storm beat Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks Storm and Kazarian had a very good match, going into the match Storm may be closer to a shot at the TNA Championship than Frankie Kazarian but Kazarian with a win over Storm and maybe another victory wouldn’t be to far away from a TNA title shot himself but it wasn’t to be much to the delight of the crowd in attendance. Storm scored his 3rd win on the bounce and 4th in 5 matches which was also his 30th overall after connecting with his Super kick.
After the match the announcers debated between them selves as Storm celebrated his victory whether there was anyone more deserving than James Storm of a shot at the TNA Championship.
Video package aired looking at the newest addition to the TNA wrestling, Mexican superstar – Hernandez who recently held the converted NWA World Heavyweight Championship for over a year, Hernandez is also a former NWA North American Heavyweight Champion and the near 300lb powerhouse is coming to TNA Wrestling looking for more success.
BG James & Ron Killings were shown making their way from their locker room the pressure is on again tonight because if they lose then BG James is out of a job…
Match 4| BG James & Ron Killings beat RATS (Kid Kash & YANG) With the victory tonight BG James is now 3 victories away from keeping his job but is still 1 defeat away from losing his job. Again like their previous victory over Box Office it was Ron Killings who came to James’ rescue by pinning YANG following his Axe kick. Don Callis afterwards was not happy claiming that Ron Killings was single handily saving BG James job just because Killings feels guilty that his actions ultimately put BG James in the position to lose his job.
TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson spoke with TNA management’s onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes backstage. Rhodes confirmed AJ Styles would be getting a TNA Championship rematch with new champion, Chris Harris and TNA management are currently discussing when the title match would take place. Rhodes also revealed action would be taken due to CM Punk interfering in the TNA Championship match last week. Rhodes lastly announced that next week the man who would receive the next TNA Championship match following the Harris/Styles rematch would be announced.
Match 5| Eric Young beat Sonjay Dutt Dutt of Indian descent who calls himself the ‘Original Playa from the Himalaya’ impressed again tonight in his second match against the bigger and tougher Eric Young but Young was to much for the game Sonjay in the end and Young continued his impressive streak after beating Dutt following his wheelbarrow neck breaker.
Post match Eric Young spoke with TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari at ringside about his best friend Bobby Roode’s defeat to Jerry Lynn last week. Young told Daivari never to count Bobby Roode out, because Roode is holding all the cards and Bobby Roode will have the last laugh even if Young himself has to do something about it.
Video package aired looking at the destruction ‘The Monster’ Abyss has caused in his time here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Abyss forced Norman Smiley into retirement, destroyed the hardcore legend Sabu to the point we have not seen Sabu since plus Abyss broke the back of former TNA Champion, Low Ki. Also Abyss holds victories over the likes of Doug Williams, James Storm, CM Punk and TNA Champion, AJ Styles. Now Abyss has vowed to end the career of ‘The Icon’ Sting! ‘Abyss vows to call Sting out at TNA80!
Graphic| TNA79| Main Event| Doug Williams V Chris Hero!
Highlights| TNA77| 2004| Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) beat Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) Graphic| Next Week| TNA79| Contract Signing| TNA Tag Team Championship| © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews)! Match 6| Main Event| Non-Title match| TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) Top class Main Event, which was a huge opportunity for GREATNESS and one Aries & Strong almost, took full advantage. AME who will defend their TNA Tag Team titles against Bad Street Boys very soon were made to work for their victory tonight and on another night they may have scored the biggest victory of their careers.
GREATNESS earned this match tonight due to the fact they have won 5 of their 6 matches as a team and even the match they lost was the Tag Team turmoil match where they entered first and still eliminated two teams. AME scored the victory tonight after Brown saved Skipper from an Aries brain buster by tackling Aries then Brown planed Strong with his Alpha Bomb for the 3 count. Afterwards AME celebrated together as Mike Tenay mentioned that Bad Street Boys would have to be on the top of their game to end the 9 month reign of Alpha Male Enterprise.
Highlights| TNA77|2004| Main Event| TNA Championship| Chris Harris beat © AJ Styles to become the new TNA Champion… Chris Harris the new TNA Champion was introduced before making his way out on to the stage carrying the TNA title over his shoulder. Harris who was wearing a blazer with jeans made his way into the ring where he was handed a microphone. Harris started off by making it clear that he had nothing to do with CM Punk’s actions last week however Harris truly believes that despite Punk’s actions he still would have become the new TNA Champion. Harris admitted that he knows that may be hard to hear for some fans but it is the truth. CM Punk was shown watching backstage as was AJ Styles and James Storm who was shaking his head at Harris’ comments before turning of his monitor.
Harris just wanted to take this time to tell everyone that he would represent TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling and the TNA Championship proudly, he vowed to never take his foot of the gas and to be a fighting champion taking on all comers which would raise the prestige of the TNA Championship to new heights starting with AJ Styles and then moving on to who ever is announced next week as the next top contender to his TNA Championship.
Harris finished up by telling everyone that in many years from now, tonight would be remembered by many as the night a new chapter in the history of TNA began because tonight is the night the man who will go down in history as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling, Chris Harris stepped forward and led into the future and to new heights. TNA78 then went of the air with Chris Harris again holding the TNA Championship high above his head.

Here we go with TNA78. A hot start to the show with AJ Styles calling out CM Punk. Man, he is pissedafuggoff! These two guys are going to destroy each other again one day. A good six man tag team match to start with Sabin, Doring and Roadkill getting the win over Shane and The Naturals, even though I like the second team more. Raven getting the win over Jimmy Rave. Meh. Nothing major here, just basically a win for Raven and burial of Rave. Next up, James Storm with a win over Frankie Kazarian could be expected with the roll Storm has been on. SORREH! ABOUT YO DAMN LUCK! Oh snap, Hernandez is on his way to TNA! Beast mode, that man is. BG James and Ron Killings beating RATS was good for them. RATS is ass. I never liked Kash or Yang. AJ Styles is getting his rematch, but will CM Punk screw him over again? Wouldn't shock me. Unless... it is inside a steel cage! Or something. Interested to see what you do to spice that up. Eric Young beating Sonjay Dutt, the Original Playa from the Himalaya. Oh God, I forgot about that nickname. Nothing special, but his interview afterward to promote Bobby Roode - his buddy ol' pal. Alpha Male Express versus GREATNESS would be a solid tag team match, but the champions had to win obviously heading in to their big title defense against the Bad Street Boys soon. Finally, a nonchalant way to conclude the show with Chris Harris getting his celebration as new champion. A different approach with nothing major going down, but a good moment for Harris and a nice edition of TNA as well.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 14th January 2004…Alright, this was eleven years and two days ago. I’m expecting a big angle for Chris Harris touting his win of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from last week, but I’m glad that the show kicked off more unpredictably. Now what I’d like to see after AJ Styles lost the title is for you to toy with the idea of him turning heel. He was such a fun, arrogant heel in 2002/2003 that I think it’d be a shame to skip it out. AJ threatened Dusty Rhodes? That’s a start right there. CM Punk making his way to the ring to meet AJ Styles was nice, and the restraining made it all the more tense. I sure hope you pull this angle out – in fact if you did this angle well enough, it could warrant a cool gimmick match as a feud ender: maybe the steel-cage? Maybe the ladder match with title contention on stake? Just a thought. Decent six-man tag team match with Chris Sabin, Danny Doring and Roadkill defeating Michael Shane and the Naturals – it covers two situations at once here as Sabin and Shane have established quite a feud recently. That said, I really don’t think Doring and Roadkill have any place in a number two promotion’s tag team division in the year 2004. Raven beating Jimmy Rave was a fine, short re-introduction for Raven after a multiple month absence. What I’m wondering now is what will he do with CM Punk embarking on a different feud? Is he just going to admit he got his ass kicked and disappeared for a while and leave the situation alone? I just feel like at some point Raven needs to get some payback – you could easily do it as a way to keep the Styles/Punk program going, too. Maybe even confuse that angle so that you have Raven against AJ Styles, or a three way match: now that could extend this new feud between Punk and Styles. Raven taking out ODB was something; I’m not big on the whole man-woman violence angle though. That said, it was 2004. An exchange with James Storm and Chris Harris? Bit of a twist to this one, America’s Most Wanted. James Storm then defeating Frankie Kazarian was fine, establishing himself as a potential number one contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately at this point in Storm’s career – where Harris appeared to be better than Storm – I don’t think it’ll make for a profitable title main event. You’ve focused a lot on workrate in order to sell these weekly pay-per-views in the past two years with only a smidget on star power: but you should consider what you book as the main event for a realistic decent draw. Realistically TNA could have died 20 times by now if they booked in this style. But at the same time you can argue it is creativity that has dominated this diary. Oh joy, Hernandez is coming in. Green as a mother*cker. BG James and Ron Killings defeating Kid Kash and Jimmy Yang was fine as you continue James and Killings retaining their jobs. Can you explain the ‘RATS’ team name? I don’t quite get that. Are Kash and Yang like rats? Do they act like rats? Do they really like rats? Eric Young over Sonjay Dutt makes me sad. I’ve never seen much in Young, especially not in 2004. Up next, a good TNA World Tag Team Championship defense by the Alpha Male Enterprise against Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. It made for a solid final match of the show, and the right team won. I’m just wondering who you have in mind to end the reign if anybody. I could maybe see Christian York and Joey Matthews do it. Finally, a good build throughout the night of mentions of his title win finally leads to Chris Harris appearing to celebrate his TNA World Heavyweight Championship win. I’m surprised to hear Harris word his promo the way he did – it almost came off incredibly arrogant. I was surprised that Harris wasn’t even about to offer AJ Styles a rematch considering his tainted title win. I don’t know, I guess the hints from Punk, Styles and Storm all watching this segment made it what it was. Apart from that, this celebration promo came off really anticlimactic. I expected something more interesting to happen than Harris talking about how he would have won regardless of interference, or how he’s going to represent TNA in the future. Just something – hopefully you give Chris Harris a character you can make people get behind, because as someone who never saw marketability in Harris as a character, I’m hoping he’s a transitional champion at this point. I see it to the point where I think you’re setting up to finally give Punk a run with the belt. Overall, not a bad show, but there just wasn’t enough going on – there’s been stronger weeks.

AJ admitted that he was angry and was blaming CM Punk and everyone else for not still being the TNA Champion but next week AJ would make everything right again when he regains his TNA title.

Notes • TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) who are nearing on a year as TNA Tag Team Champions came out and demanded that TNA management retire the TNA Tag Team titles as AME have overcome all challengers. GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) both interrupted with both teams vowing they would be the team that finally took the TNA tag team titles from AME. • TNA Champion, Chris Harris came under a lot of criticism due to his negative tactics during his TNA title defence against AJ Styles. Harris defended himself by saying he never broke any rules and he remains the TNA Champion. Harris revealed he was planning something which would leave no doubt that Harris was the greatest TNA Champion of them all first he just has to beat new top contender, Chris Sabin. Sabin took exception to Harris over looking him and confronted Harris and after more words were exchanged between the two men Sabin slapped the TNA Champion! • Abyss destroyed Funk in the Main Event putting a beating on Funk, tables, thumbtacks were all used by Abyss as the crowd, Abyss and even the announcers called for Sting to save Funk but Sting didn’t show up. Following the match like Abyss did to Sabu and Low Ki, Abyss press slammed Funk over the top rope through a table at ringside.

Notes • AJ Styles made his first appearance since failing to regain his TNA title and while AJ was not a fan of Chris Harris’ tactics. AJ blames one man for him not still being TNA Champion – CM Punk! AJ challenged CM Punk to a match. Punk came out and accepted AJ’s challenge for a match but told the fans just because they cheer AJ doesn’t mean AJ’s in the right and Punk promised after beating Punk he would take his rightful place as the TNA Champion. • Chris Hero prior to his victory over Sonjay Dutt in a backstage promo said that all villains need a hero and he can be that hero • Following Raven’s victory over Frankie Kazarian, Raven grabbed hold of Traci Brooks looking to drop Brooks with his Even flow DDT like he had done to ODB and Shawn Daivari previously but luckily for Traci Brooks, Michael Shane came to her rescue surprisingly • James Storm spoke with the announcers live via satellite from his home. Addressing his injury at the hands of Christopher Daniels which has cost Storm a shot at the TNA Championship. Storm got frustrated the longer the interview went and told the announcers that he would be back soon and he was coming for Christopher Daniels and the TNA title. • Video packages aired hyping the upcoming TNA title match between Chris Harris and Chris Sabin. Harris was shown to be someone who works 24 hours a day 7 days a week either in the ring, representing TNA in front of the media or training students at the TNA Wrestling Academy, a constant pro who is determined to go down in history not only as a great TNA Champion but as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Chris Sabin gave everyone a tour of his home town and talking about how he has been a fan of professional wrestling ever since he was a kid. Sabin admitted he may not be as professional as Chris Harris and Sabin still reads comic books and plays games but that doesn’t mean Sabin can not beat Chris Harris and become the new TNA Champion at TNA87. • TNA85 ended with the announcement that Sting would appear at TNA86

I'm glad you were able to find your stuff for this diary. You have done a lot with it. I like the Next Step Tournament idea and having Chris Sabin win was cool. I'm interested in the Box Office team and what you have planned for the TNA Title. Looking forward to the official return.

Good to see this come back, you've developed yourself quite a company with the clay that was TNA to start with. Few quick notes on the quick results before we get to the real deal. No, not Titus O'Neil, your diary. I like the involvement of Dustin Rhodes in things and CM Punk being an uber heel to take him out. Screw you Dustin and Dusty. Chris Harris getting the shine as the World Champion is also nice to see, being booked strong. Looking forward to the continuation of things once you get to it.

Contract Signing – TNA Champion, Chris Harris and Chris Sabin signed the contract for their TNA Championship match in two weeks at TNA88 witnessed by TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes. The last time Harris and Sabin were in the ring together, Sabin slapped Harris across the face. Chris Harris apologised for disrespecting Sabin the last time they were in the ring telling Sabin he deserved the slap across the face. Harris admitted that he is still learning how a champion should act and Harris assured Sabin that Harris was taking Sabin seriously, Harris knows just how much Sabin wants to become the TNA Champion but Sabin needs to understand how much being the TNA Champion means to Harris and Harris plans on being the TNA Champion for a long time and dreams of going down in history as not only the face of TNA but the greatest champion of all time. Sabin laughed at Harris’ comments before telling Harris he takes himself too seriously. Sabin told Harris he doesn’t care for and doesn’t need his apology because to Sabin, Chris Harris is just the man who is standing in his way of becoming the new TNA Champion. Sabin like Harris dreamed of being champion and in 2 weeks Sabin will shock the world once again and beat Chris Harris in the middle of the ring to become the new TNA Champion. Sabin finished by telling Harris if he still doubts him to watch tonight’s Main Event. Harris sternly told Sabin he would be watching tonight and very soon everyone will be taking him seriously.
MATCH 1| RAVEN V KID KASH Raven has won his last 3 matches since Gauntlet for the Gold where he was beat in the final stage by current TNA Champion; Chris Harris in controversial fashion after Harris speared Raven in between the bell. Harris claims his innocence. Raven has made it clear in recent weeks that it’s his destiny to become the TNA Champion and Raven will be as sadistic as he has to be to achieve his destiny.
Raven and Kash had a good match; Kash’s recent partner Jimmy Yang has recently departed TNA sending Kash back into the singles division. Kash looked good before Raven took over the match and eventually put Kash away with his Even flow DDT. WINNER| RAVEN
Announcers – Discussed the TNA title picture how a number of men including Raven, CM Punk the currently injured James Storm and former champions, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels are all looking to get their shot at the TNA Champion whomever it may be either Chris Harris or Chris Sabin.
Backstage Promo – Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) spoke for the first time since failing to beat TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) for a second time at TNA81. Last week in their first match back BSB were also upset by the rookie team Box Office (Johnny Curtis & Robbie Eckos). York admitted that it was heartbreaking losing to AME a second time and again failing to become the TNA Tag Team Champions. Matthews said they felt like they let everyone down but last week was the wake up call they needed losing to Box Office because they refuse to now let all of their hard work count for nothing and again they will rise again and they guarantee it will be them who take the TNA Tag Team titles from Alpha Male Enterprise!
Video Package – Looking at the rivalry between Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode which started when it appeared Lynn injured Roode following his Cradle pile driver but Roode revealed it was a fake injury a number of weeks later by attacking Lynn from behind. Roode took great delight in ‘conning’ Lynn but it was Lynn that won their match on the first Pay per View of 2004. Roode who claims to be the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA has since vowed to take everything away from Jerry Lynn…
MATCH 2| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN V BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG Bobby Roode & Eric Young are 5-0 as a team and while Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn were the first ever TNA Tag Team champions they are not currently in line for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles due in large to Roode & Young who cost Lynn & Red their last match against the loud mouth rookies Box Office (Johnny Curtis & Robbie Eckos).
Very good tag team match with the fans fully behind Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn and against Bobby Roode & Eric Young. Lynn again managing to frustrate Roode and gain some revenge after ducking Roode’s lariat and pinning Roode following a roll up. Lynn & Red giving Roode & Young their first taste of defeat as a team.
Bobby Roode was fuming after the match while Eric Young was trying to console his best friend who Young clearly idolises Roode. TNA ringside interviewer, Shawn Daivari entered the ring while Lynn and Red celebrated at ringside. Daivari stopped Roode and told Roode regardless of what he does to Jerry Lynn when it matters most in the middle of the ring Lynn is always one step ahead of Bobby Roode. Roode snatched the microphone from Daivari and screamed Lynn’s name before telling Lynn this ends once and for all, Lynn from ringside asked Roode when, Roode told Lynn the sooner the better and Roode vowed to hurt and beat Jerry Lynn proving that he is the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA. WINNERS| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN
Backstage Promo – Box Office (Johnny Curtis & Robbie Eckos) who were wearing ridiculously bright shirts with their hair slick back with dark shades are coming of two of the biggest victories they may ever achieve over Bad Street Boys and the first ever TNA Tag Team Champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn. Eckos said he has everyone’s attention now, everyone thought he was a loser but now he and is boy Johnny C have proven they are money; they are main event they are… BOX OFFICE and very soon they will be the new TNA Tag Team Champions!
Tonight – ‘The Icon’ Sting returns!
Video Package – Looking over the rivalry between AJ Styles and CM Punk. Styles retained his then TNA title over CM Punk in a gruelling hard fought battle. Punk believed he was entitled to an immediate rematch however AJ injured his back in the match with Punk and required time off when AJ returned he was already scheduled to defend the TNA Championship against Gauntlet for the Gold winner, Chris Harris. Punk believed AJ ducked him and refused to defend the TNA title against Punk so as revenge Punk interfered in the TNA title match and arguably cost AJ Styles the TNA title. Since AJ has failed to regain the TNA title after wrestling to a time limit draw against Chris Harris while CM Punk has been demanding a title shot and being at war against TNA management and the Rhodes family. Last week AJ Styles and CM Punk confronted each other again and agreed to face each other at TNA89!
MATCH 3| SONJAY DUTT V CM PUNK Fun match between the newcomer Dutt and CM Punk, Dutt frustrated Punk at times with his speed but eventually Punk made Dutt pay after spiking Dutt with Raven’s Even flow DDT. WINNER| CM PUNK
Backstage Promo – TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson approached AJ Styles who was watching the CM Punk match on a monitor. Hudson asked AJ how he was feeling knowing that he was3 weeks away from finally getting his hands on the man who cost him the TNA title. AJ warned Punk that at TNA89, CM Punk is going to see a side of AJ Styles that no one has ever seen before. Punk did the unforgiveable he stole AJ’s dream from him and now CM Punk will pay. Hudson then caught AJ of guard by asking AJ about the condition of his back because reports are AJ’s back still has not healed from his first match with CM Punk. AJ didn’t look happy with Hudson mentioning his back; CM Punk was shown smiling watching the interview from the ring. AJ sternly told Scott Hudson that at TNA89 he will get his revenge on CM Punk!
TNA Wrestling Academy – Coach D’Amore addressed the gathering press outside of the TNA Wrestling Academy while a sign on the door behind D’Amore read closed to the press, private session in practice. D’Amore revealed that behind the door trained the greatest professional wrestler to ever come out of Canada… Petey Williams! D’Amore said Petey Williams can do things that men can only dream about doing and he’s coming to TNA Wrestling very soon to change everything we know!
Highlights – Abyss beat Terry Funk two weeks ago at TNA84 in a No Disqualification match and after the match Abyss destroyed Terry Funk, thumb tacks and tables were used before Abyss press slammed Funk from the ring through a table at ringside the same move which has seemingly ended the career of both, Sabu and former TNA Champion, Low Ki. During the beating the crowd and even the announcers were calling for Sting to come help Terry Funk but Sting never showed up…
Sting made his first TNA appearance in 2004 to a huge ovation, Sting played with the crowd before speaking. Sting revealed that the reason he did not come to Terry Funk’s aid was simply because Funk asked Sting not to and made Sting give Terry his word. Sting and Terry Funk knew the beating he was going to get going into the match with Abyss but Funk was at peace with it so Sting had to be at peace also but Sting admitted that he couldn’t bring himself to watch the Abyss/Funk match but now it’s different now its Sting’s turn!
Sting told Abyss that he was not going anywhere; Sting is going to be around week after week until he gets his hands on Abyss. Sting asked where Abyss was tonight, reminding Abyss that it him via Jim Mitchell who has vowed to make 2004 the last year of Sting’s career. Sting made no secret of being here tonight. Sting screamed Abyss’ name before letting Abyss and everyone else know that next week Sting will be in action when he takes on Frankie Kazarian. As soon as Kazarian’s name was mentioned Frankie Kazarian with Traci Brooks was both on their way out to the ring.
Frankie was wondering when Sting was going to mention him the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’. Brooks and Kazarian were now in the ring. Brooks took over and warned Sting that he better worry about Kazarian and not Abyss but Kazarian is the toughest test of Sting’s career. Sting was not in the mood for talking and slapped the microphone from Brooks hand before tossing Kazarian over the top rope, Sting turned his attention to Brooks but for the second time in a few weeks Traci Brooks was saved by Michael Shane. Shane pulled Brooks from the ring, Kazarian who was straight over to confront Shane but Shane backed up the aisle. Kazarian and Brooks turned their attention back to Sting as Sting pointed at them both with his baseball bat. Next week Sting returns to the ring to take on Frankie Kazarian.
MATCH 4| HERNANDEZ V CLIFF COMPTON Hernandez the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion in his third match here in TNA Wrestling again looked dominant over the TNA Wrestling Academy student, Cliff Compton. The Mexican, Hernandez wowed the fans with power moves before beating Compton with his Border Toss. WINNER| HERNANDEZ
Backstage Promo – Chris Hero repeated what he said last week that everyone needs a hero, even the bad, the naughty, the dark and the evil and he, Chris Hero can be that Hero someone they can all be proud off but Hero asks why does he have to be their only hero?
Video Package – James Storm earned the right to be named the top contender to the TNA title only to have the first ever TNA Champion Christopher Daniels return, attack and injure Storm costing Storm at the TNA title. Daniels said anyone in his way of getting his TNA title back would meet the same fate. Last week the announcers attempted to interview Storm live via satellite from his home but Storm got frustrated and made it clear when he returns he is coming for Christopher Daniels and the TNA Championship…
MATCH 5| DUSTIN RHODES V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Daniels the first ever TNA Champion had won 22 of his 28 matches going into tonight’s match against Dustin Rhodes the son of TNA managements on screen representative. Tonight was Rhodes’ second match his first was a defeat to CM Punk. Rhodes and Daniels had a good wrestling match but like many 22 others before Rhodes, Daniels is on a different level and is more focused than ever. Daniels picked up the victory after making Rhodes tap to his Koji Clutch in the middle of the ring.
TNA Ringside Interviewer, Shawn Daivari spoke with Christopher Daniels following the match. Daniels told Daivari that he was not worried about James Storm’s threat last week because Storm is beneath him plus Storm cannot keep his word unlike the ‘Fallen Angel’ who will very soon take back what is rightfully his - the TNA Championship not AJ Styles, CM Punk, Raven and especially not James Storm! WINNER| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS
Next Week| TNA87| Main Event| Sting V Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks! Up Next – Tonight’s Main Event| Chris Sabin V Ekmo Fatu…
Highlights – TNA85| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) beat Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu and TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown).
Backstage Promo – Monty Brown spoke on behalf of Alpha Male Enterprise saying last week’s loss will be dealt with in time and both GREATNESS and Zero Gravity would be dealt with but tonight they have to put last week behind them because tonight is a milestone night for AME because tonight will be remembered as the night AME started to take over TNA, they already have the TNA Tag Team titles and are coming up to a year as Champions and in a matter of moments Ekmo Fatu is going to beat and hurt the top contender to the TNA title again! AME is taking over!
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT CHRIS SABIN V EKMO FATU W. ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE TNA Champion, Chris Harris joined the announcers for the Main Event. Harris again repeated that he was working on something which when complete would leave no doubt that Harris is the greatest champion in the history of TNA plus the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Callis claimed Harris sounded possessive while Harris countered by saying he was hungry.
Ekmo Fatu pinned Chris Sabin in the finals of the 2003 Xmas Bonus Tournament and Sabin was trying to right that loss tonight heading into the biggest match of Sabin’s life at TNA88. Fatu and Sabin had a really good match but after Fatu missed a top rope moonsault, Sabin in quick succession caught Fatu with a running boot in the corner, his Hesitation drop kick to a seated Fatu and a tornado DDT it seemed Sabin was on his way to victory only for AME to jump Sabin during the cover to cause the DQ. WINNER| CHRIS SABIN VIA DISQUALIFICATION
AME put the boots to Chris Sabin while Chris Harris sat at ringside; Tenay was asking Harris if he was going to save Sabin. Harris stood and removed his head set while the beating was still going on, then Harris removed his blazer, while the beating was continuing then Harris un-did some buttons on his shirt before walking over and picking up a steel chair. Harris walked up the steps while AME continued to mug Sabin. Harris entered the ring with the chair and AME immediately bailed out of the ring, Harris then ran across the ring and swung the chair at air while AME backed up the aisle happy with their work. Announcers discussed the speed Harris entered the ring to save Chris Sabin.
Chris Harris paced around the ring as officials checked on Chris Sabin but Harris stopped as he noticed Sabin fight to get to his feet. Harris looked shocked but then applauded Sabin’s courage. TNA87 then went off the air with Chris Sabin pointing at the TNA title while Chris Harris looked concerned.

TNA87Wednesday 17th March
CHAMPIONSTNA Champion| Chris Harris (1) – beat AJ Styles| 07.01.04TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) (1) – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn| 16.04.03 LOCATION| Nashville, TennesseeANNOUNCERS| Don Callis, Jeremy Borash & Mike Tenay TNA87 opened showing highlights from TNA86 where Chris Sabin faced Ekmo Fatu in the Main Event. Sabin won the match via disqualification after Alpha Male Enterprise jumped the top contender to the TNA Championship. Chris Harris who was sat at ringside for the Main Event seemed to hesitate in helping Sabin it was only after Mike Tenay questioned Harris, Harris then seemed to take his time entering the ring before chasing AME off with a steel chair. Harris who in recent weeks seems to be taking Chris Sabin lightly was taken back when Sabin managed to pull himself to his feet after the mugging from AME showing that Chris Sabin will not stay down and is coming for the TNA title.
Announcers hyped tonight’s card which would be headlined by ‘The Icon’ Sting in action taking on Frankie Kazarian plus former AJ Styles has requested a match tonight to prove he is healthy going into his highly anticipated rematch against CM Punk in two weeks, tonight AJ faces Michael Shane. Doug Williams, GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity are also in action tonight plus we would hear from top contender Chris Sabin and Norman Smiley on behalf of TNA Champion, Chris Harris heading into their TNA title match next week.Time Limits|20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)MATCH 1| DUSTIN RHODES V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATURESULT| DUSTIN RHODES VIA DISQUALIFICATIONAnnouncers discussed reports that many TNA wrestlers believe that Dustin Rhodes has only been hired because his Dad is TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes and Banks had a good match with Rhodes being a good test for the man Monty Brown pro claims is the future of AME, Antonio Banks.
Rhodes was closing in on his first victory in TNA after dropping Banks with a running bulldog only for Ekmo Fatu to drag the match official out of the ring causing the immediate DQ. Fatu then entered the ring and charged into Rhodes before Fatu and Banks double teamed Rhodes. TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown came out and watched the beating as Fatu splashed Rhodes until a number of officials ran out and Dusty Rhodes made his way out on to the stage with a microphone in hand.
Dusty Rhodes told AME he and TNA management have had enough of AME their attitude, demands and their take over! Rhodes reminded AME that they became TNA Tag Team Champions on the 16th April and are closing in on one year as champs but now that great achievement is in jeopardy because Rhodes announced that tonight two teams who are hungry and deserving of a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles GREATNESS and Zero Gravity are in action and if they are both victorious they will face one another in two weeks then the winner of that match will challenge AME for the TNA Tag Team titles at TNA91 which is the 14th April! AME tried to act like they didn’t care but you could see Brown & Skipper were nervous about the prospect of defending their TNA Tag Team titles against GREATNESS or Zero Gravity.
Highlights aired from TNA86 last where TNA title contenders Christopher Daniels, CM Punk and Raven were all victorious all helping their claims to be the next top contender to the TNA Championship.TNA89| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK! MATCH 2| AJ STYLES V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREESTATS – AJ STYLES| 25 WINS FROM 34 MATCHES (74% WIN RATE) – MICHAEL SHANE| 7 WINS FROM 16 MATCHES (44% WIN RATE)RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALLReally good match between the previous TNA Champion, AJ Styles and Michael Shane in what was their first ever meeting. Shane looked strong opposite the former champion and the man who many claim is what Chris Harris wants more than anything else and that is the face of the company. Alexis Laree was ringside with Shane tonight, she has been absent in Shane’s last couple of matches. There is still confusion as to why Michael Shane has been helping Traci Brooks in recent weeks also.
Shane worked over AJ’s reported injured back throughout but AJ managed to come back and eventually scored the victory following his Styles Clash. Following the match AJ Styles spoke with TNA Ringside Reporter, Shawn Daivari telling Daivari that he hopes he has just put the rumours of him being injured to rest and again promised that in two weeks at TNA89, CM Punk would see a side of AJ Styles that he never thought existed because AJ will get his revenge!
Michael Shane refused to be helped by Alexis Laree following the match and walked off leaving Laree at ringside alone and upset.TONIGHT| MAIN EVENT| STING V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS! Eric Young backstage promo aired with Young telling everyone that everyone thinks of him as Bobby Roode’s hired help and they are right because Young would do anything for Roode but while Roode is concentrating on his own business of beating Jerry Lynn next week, Young is going to have some fun of his own…
NEXT WEEK| TNA88| JERRY LYNN V BOBBY ROODE! NEXT WEEK| TNA88| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRIS SABIN! Norman Smiley the assistant head trainer at the TNA Wrestling Academy came out to speak with Shawn Daivari on next weeks TNA Championship match. After footage aired of the end of TNA86 last week where Chris Harris seemed hesitant to help Chris Sabin, Smiley revealed that Harris was not here tonight as Harris is in training 100% focused on defending his TNA title against Chris Sabin next week. Smiley said that Harris did not ask Smiley to come out here tonight but Smiley insisted because Smiley wants to speak up for Chris Harris. Over the last few weeks people have been questioning the actions and tactics of Chris Harris but now people are even questioning Chris Harris’ character! Smiley is outraged and told everyone who doubts Chris Harris that Chris Harris is a good person!
Smiley defended Harris saying a couple of weeks ago Chris Sabin slapped Harris and Harris like a man accepted he was in the wrong and apologised. Harris is the TNA Champion, works every day of the week in representing the company in some form he can not afford to get injured so while noble stepping into the ring to fight four men to save another his next opponent is ridiculous. Smiley asked the fans and everyone who doubts Chris Harris to give him a break because Harris is working his ass off to be the face of this company and there is enough pressure on his shoulders already. Smiley finished up by wishing both Chris Harris and Chris Sabin good luck next week and said the better man would work out of TNA88 as the TNA Champion.
Raven then rolled into the ring behind Norman Smiley, Raven spun Smiley around and spiked him with his Evenflow DDT. Fans were on their feet as Raven sat next to Smiley’s fallen body. Raven picked up the microphone leaned over Smiley and told Smiley to tell Chris Harris he is coming for the TNA Championship and he will get his shot one way or another “Quote the Raven, never more!”
MATCH 3| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) NOTE – ZERO GRAVITY WIN TONIGHT THEY MOVE INTO A TOP CONTENDERS MATCH AT TNA89 IN 2 WEEKS RESULT| ZERO GRAVITY VIA PIN FALL Good match Box Office are coming of 2 huge victories over the first TNA Tag Team Champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn and two time top contenders, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and you could see the improvement in Box Office tonight who were still over confident at times. Zero Gravity never let the pressure get to them and in the end picked up the win after Sydal pinned Cutis following his Shooting Star Press. Alpha Male Enterprise was shown watching on a monitor backstage as London and Sydal celebrated.
Scott D’Amore again standing outside the gym where his client Petey Williams was training behind closed doors for his upcoming debut announced that the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada, Petey Williams will be making his TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling in ring debut in 2 weeks at TNA89 and then everything changes.
Frankie Kazarian with Traci Brooks was standing by backstage with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson ahead of tonight’s Main Event against ‘The Icon’ Sting. Kazarian told Sting he needs to stop worrying about Abyss and start worrying about him because tonight Kazarian is going to beat the paint of Sting’s face and show that Sting is old millennium while he is the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’ before Kazarian could go any further he was interrupted by Jim Mitchell, who just wanted to wish Kazarian luck in his match tonight before walking off, sending a message to Sting that ‘The Monster’ Abyss may well be in the arena tonight.
MATCH 4| DOUG WILLIAMS V RYAN O’REILLY RESULT| DOUG WILLIAM VIA PIN FALL Doug Williams’ first match in over a month, Williams believes he rushed back from his previous injury a concussion caused by Chris Hero. Williams’ has made it clear he hasn’t been happy with his recent form but tonight William took apart the TNA Wrestling Academy student O’Reilly before beating him with a impressive Chaos Theory.
NEXT WEEK| TNA88| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRIS SABIN! Chris Sabin the top contender to the TNA title joined Shawn Daivari in the middle of the ring to speak about next weeks TNA Championship which is easily the biggest match of Sabin’s career. Sabin told Daivari that he still has to pinch himself to make sure this is all real that he’s not dreaming, next week Sabin is challenging for the TNA Championship! Sabin said no one can argue that Sabin does not deserve this shot. Sabin has worked up from the TNA Wrestling Academy all the way up the card and then Sabin won the first ever Next Step tournament beating Chris Hero in TNA’s first ever Ladder match! Sabin knows that no one expects him to win next week but like Sabin showed last week nothing will keep him down and next week Sabin will keep getting up and keep fighting to accomplish his childhood dream of becoming World Champion! Sabin is not worried about Chris Harris, his actions, his tactics his character his dreams this is not about Chris Harris this is about Chris Sabin shocking the world and becoming the new TNA Champion!
Christopher Daniels’ music hit in the arena and the first ever TNA Champion wearing a suite joined Sabin in the ring. Daniels just wanted to talk and then told Sabin that he may surprise Sabin but Daniels believes Sabin can win the TNA title next week because Daniels knows how it feels to have no one believe in you. Daniels advised Sabin to enjoy next week all he can because if/when Sabin becomes the TNA Champion, Sabin becomes the ‘Fallen Angel’s’ next target because Daniels will do everything in his power and hurt anyone standing in front of him to get his title back. Daniels told Sabin to ask James Storm. Sabin pushed Daniels on his ass before telling Daniels he will become the new TNA Champion and when he does he will defend against all comers. Sabin exited the ring as Daniels sat in the ring seemingly happy that he has got under the skin of Chris Sabin.
Announcers at ringside spoke about the TNA title picture and how next week Chris Harris and Sabin will meet for the biggest prize in TNA but also spoke about the number of challengers waiting in the wings first there are CM Punk, Christopher Daniels and Raven who all believe they deserve a shot then there’s James Storm who’s currently injured. AJ Styles beats CM Punk he’s back in the hunt and then there are names not mentioned like Abyss and ‘The Icon’ Sting himself!
MATCH 5| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS NOTE – GREATNESS WIN THEY FACE ZERO GRAVITY AT TNA89 IN A TOP CONTENDERS MATCH RESULT| GREATNESS VIA PIN FALL BG James fresh of doing the impossible managing to save his job teamed with Ron Killings to take on GREATNESS. First ever meeting between these two teams and while GREATNESS are pushing for a TNA title shot, BG & Killings are not to far away either. Fans were both behind both teams maybe a little more behind the more experienced BG & Killings but in the end it was GREATNESS that came away with the important victory in an exciting match after Aries pinned James following a Brain buster.
After the two teams had shook hands in a show of class and respect. Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) joined GREATNESS in the middle of the ring and both teams stood face to face both motioning for the TNA Tag Team titles; they will meet at TNA89 to see who will earn the right to challenge AME at TNA91. Don Callis said AME may now regret attacking the boss’ son!
TNA89| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! Chris Hero sitting in dark room said when he was a kid the “good” men the superhero’s didn’t fascinate him, they didn’t inspire him for some reason it the men that inspired Chris Hero were evil were the villains and now Hero wants to like all kids before him he wants to give back he wants to be a hero to others too because all villains need heroes and Hero is going to inspire all of his followers by becoming the TNA Champion but Hero wants to ask why does he have to be the only hero for the villains?
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| STING V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS… MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT STING V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS STATS – STING| 3 WINS FROM 5 MATCHES (60% WIN RATE) – FRANKIE KAZARIAN| 11 WINS FROM 18 MATCHES (61% WIN RATE) Frankie Kazarian has beat Chris Sabin, Raven and Doug Williams and competed in a Main Event against AJ Styles but tonight against Sting could arguably be the biggest match in the career of the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’. Sting lost his first match in TNA to Christopher Daniels but since then has 3 victories, over Chris Hero, Michael Shane and current TNA Champion, Chris Harris.
Kazarian and Sting had a very good match in what is Sting’s first match of 2004. Kazarian took advantage of Sting’s slight ring rust. Kazarian actually managed to catch Sting with his Wave of the Future but Sting kicked out at the last second. Sting fought his way back into the match and after a top rope supflex Sting made Kazarian tap out to his Scorpion Death lock. RESULT| STING VIA TAP OUT
Sting had his hand raised in victory and was feeling the effects of a hard fought match when Jim Mitchell walked out on to the stage. Sting looked around the arena for Abyss but there was no sign of ‘The Monster’ who has vowed to end Sting’s career like he seemingly has to Sabu, Terry Funk and former TNA Champion, Low Ki.
Sting watched as Jim Mitchell slowly made his way down the aisle as the noise in the arena picked up because Abyss was now on the ring apron standing behind Sting. Sting turned around and as Abyss was about to enter the ring but then a baseball bat dropped into the ring from the rafters and Sting picked it up pointed the bat at Abyss and told Abyss to make his move. Abyss stood on the ring apron for a couple of seconds and decided to get into the ring but as Abyss was about to step over the top rope Mitchell grabbed hold of Abyss’ standing leg and ordered Sting down as always Abyss listened to his handler Jim Mitchell. Mitchell ordered Abyss back up the aisle while threatening Sting as Sting stood on the ropes challenging Abyss to come back as TNA87 went off the air.

Bit meh to open the show with a match that goes to Disqualification. In my opinion, Styles/Shane would have been a better way to kick things off. Styles/Punk at 89 should be great! Still can't believe it's not for the TNA Championship since that's what I was expecting - not for AJ to drop the title beforehand to Harris. Can definitely see Punk going over AJ and that's why you took the title off of Styles beforehand. I liked the inclusion of the Norman Smiley segment actually. It's got me thinking now whether or not Harris is a good guy or a bad guy. Box Office is a great team name for Curtis and Eckos. They actually gel together well as a team. Big win for Zero Gravity. Petey Williams! Looking forward to seeing how you book him. Scott D'Amore is a great manager too, so I'm glad you kept him with Petey. I love seeing current-WWE guys show up in this. It's cool to see! I knew that I recognised the name Ryan O'Reilly and a Wiki search tells me it's Konnor. Williams was always going to go over O'Reilly here, though. Great in-ring segment with Daniels and Sabin. It really emphasised how stacked the main event scene is here and it's great to see so many homegrown guys in there with veterans like Raven and Sting. Zero Gravity/GREATNESS will be stellar. Cool segment with Hero. Love the "New Millenium Wrestler" tagline for Kazarian. Sting going over didn't really shock me. Kazarian still looks a million bucks coming out of it anyway. Great closing segment. Loved how Abyss was halfway into the ring as Mitchell grabbed his standing leg and told him to stand down. You're building up the Sting/Abyss feud well.
As always, you're continuing to put out great shows that leave me eager for the following week. I'm also looking forward to seeing where you go with the company as a whole this year, whether you'll stay on weekly PPV's or if you'll get a TV deal, move to Orlando, tour, etc. There's so much you could do!

Here we go with TNA87. Not too keen on the opening contest going to a disqualification with nothing before it, kind of just drains things to start off without it being something of that big of a deal. Weird stipulation from Dusty afterward. Maybe he has a biceecle in his head. AJ Styles getting a victory was expeted with his upcoming match with CM Punk at TNA89 in two weeks. Norman Smiley says Chris Harris is a good person... but is he? Raven just planted Smiley with the Evenflow DDT! RAVEN WANTS TO KILL SMILEY!!! THAT'S A WWE WRESTLEMANIA HEADLINER RIGHT THERE! Zero Gravity get a win as expected as there is no way we don't get the match between them and GREATNESS in two weeks. Hey hey Petey Williams! TNA89 he is debuting at? Damn, thats a big show so far. Doug Williams beats Ryan O'Reilly, nothing major, just getting Williams back in to the minds of people. Good promo from Chris Sabin, being interrupted by Christopher Daniels, the Fallen Angel is in his head! I don't see Sabin necessarily winning the belt but a feud between the two could still happen regardless. And, as expected, GREATNESS wins their match against BG James and Ron Killings. Interested to see who wins between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity at TNA89 because I really don't know for sure. Odd Chris Hero promo, but fitting to the 'hero' moniker I suppose and him questioning it. Anyway, we move on to the main event where Sting gets the win over Frankie Kazarian. Kaz gets a big rub getting to face Sting here, even in a loss. Abyss coming for Sting was to be expected with their rivalry, but he backs down. STING AIN'T AFRAID OF NO ABYSS, DAMN IT! HE IS THE ABYSS! I like how that feud has been built. A good edition of TNA and I know we have TNA88 to get to but TNA89 looks really stacked so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Time Limits| 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
MATCH 1| RON KILLINGS V ERIC YOUNG NOTE| RON KILLINGS & ERIC YOUNG BOTH HAVE A 38% WIN RATE KILLINGS FROM 32 MATCHES & YOUNG FROM 5 MATCHES RESULT| ERIC YOUNG VIA PIN FALL Good wrestling match to kick off TNA88, Young last week claimed he was going to start having some fun of his own in TNA now. Young has shown since coming to TNA that he has a short temper and can be uncontrollable but very ruthless. Killings is always fun and has shown on occasion to have the potential to trouble the top players in TNA, Killings needs to find more consistency to his game and can’t be happy with his 38% win rate according to Don Callis who also claims is being held back by BG James.
Eric Young scored the most impressive victory of his career so far after taking Killings of the middle rope with a neck breaker. Young screamed into the camera after, you can do it Bobby, showing his support for his best friend Bobby Roode ahead of Roode’s match tonight against Jerry Lynn.
Cameras went backstage to show how Chris Sabin and Chris Harris were preparing for their TNA Championship match later tonight. Harris was shown in conversation with Norman Smiley while Sabin was starting to get changed ready for the biggest match of his life.
Backstage promo with Dustin Rhodes aired were Rhodes actually agreed with the people who say Dustin only has a spot on the TNA Wrestling roster due to his Father is but Dustin is grateful for the foot in the door and over time Dustin will earn the right to be here because Dustin Rhodes still has dreams and none bigger than becoming the TNA Champion.
Highlights aired from TNA87 after Alpha Male Enterprise jumped Dustin Rhodes, Dusty Rhodes gave GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) an opportunity to earn a TNA Tag Team title shot. Later in the night both GREATNESS & Zero Gravity were victorious and now next week they will meet one another where the winner will challenge Alpha Male Enterprise for the TNA Tag Team titles at TNA91.
NEXT WEEK| TNA89| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! MATCH 2| NON-TITLE MATCH TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS RESULT| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE VIA PIN FALL Complete domination for the TNA Tag Team Champions over the two TNA Wrestling Academy students. Brown pinned Cross following his Alpha Bomb.
Following the match the champions were joined in the ring by Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu and AME Security as Monty Brown grabbed a microphone. Monty Brown warned GREATNESS & Zero Gravity that they have just seen what awaits them because no team can take the TNA Tag Team titles from them, they will not allow it because AME is taking over TNA and AME will out live everyone!
First ever TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels was shown arriving at the arena tonight here to watch tonight’s Main Event. Daniels entered his private room but has agreed to speak with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson later tonight.
Video package aired looking at the rivalry between former TNA Champion, AJ Styles and the man who arguably cost AJ his TNA title, CM Punk. AJ claims Punk did the unforgivable and at TNA89 everyone will see a different side of AJ Styles and he will get his revenge on CM Punk…
CM Punk made his way out and the ‘Second City Saint’ was scheduled to speak with TNA Ringside Reporter, Shawn Daivari but Punk too the microphone before telling Daivari to get out of the ring. CM Punk is one of if not the most hated man in TNA Wrestling today after what he has done previously to Raven and AJ Styles.
Punk said TNA management are selling his match next week against AJ Styles as ‘AJ Styles Revenge!’ Punk finds that laughable, AJ Styles got exactly what he deserved when Punk cost AJ the TNA Championship. CM Punk still believes that AJ Styles refused to give him his rightful rematch. Punk said he and AJ Styles had a war for the TNA title back in November at TNA70 and while AJ had his hand raised AJ has not been the same since still carrying the back injury Punk caused AJ in that match and Punk earned an immediate rematch. Punk over time has been trying to justify why he never become the TNA Champion or why TNA management were refusing to give him another shot but sometimes in life you just get screwed over but next week it changes and the shackles come off. CM Punk repeated his often made claim that it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest wrestler of all time and next week he will beat, bloody and injure AJ Styles in the middle of the ring before going on and taking what should already be his the TNA Championship. Punk finished up by telling everyone this is CM Punk’s world and they are just living in it.
NEXT WEEK| TNA89| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK| CM Punk’s opponent next week former TNA Champion, ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles was shown watching Punk’s comments on a monitor backstage. Next week AJ Styles finally gets his hands on CM Punk but tonight AJ Styles is here to watch the TNA Championship Main Event.
MATCH 3| HERNANDEZ V KID KASH NOTE| HERNANDEZ IS A FORMER NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RESULT| HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL Kid Kash the veteran was easily the toughest test of Hernandez time in TNA Wrestling for the first time Hernandez didn’t have things all his own way. Kash is starting to re find his form after breaking away from Jimmy Yang. Hernandez worked hard and managed to come away with another victory after the big Mexican put Kash away following his Border Toss.
Hernandez celebrated his victory and keeping his 100% win rate after 4 matches by celebrating with a Mexican flag, Hernandez seems to be catching on with the TNA audience.
Coach D’Amore the former TNA talent scout of Canada now coach of Petey Williams was backstage with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson. D’Amore said people like Hudson used to look down their nose at him because he was just a scout but the fact is most of the talent on the TNA Roster was found by him but now D’Amore has found the best and selfishly he’s keeping Petey Williams all to himself and next week Petey Williams the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada makes his in ring debut and will do things that people couldn’t even dream off. Coach D’Amore finished by saying that next week everything changes.
Video package aired looking at the rivalry between Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode which started back in August after Lynn beat Roode following his Cradle pile driver. Roode who had spent weeks attempting to injure wrestlers was seemingly injured by Lynn. Roode was out of action for a couple of months and threatened to sue TNA unless Lynn apologised. Lynn seemed hesitant but agreed to meet with Roode in the ring and after Roode brought up his family and how much the business meant to him Lynn gave a heartfelt apology to Roode only for Roode to reveal it was a set up all along attacking Lynn. Lynn won their grudge match at TNA77 but Roode couldn’t let be, Lynn set his sights on regaining the TNA Tag Team titles but Roode cost Lynn and Red a match against Box Office but again Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn beat Bobby Roode & Eric Young with Lynn again pinning Roode. Tonight the rivalry between Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode comes to an end…
MATCH 4| JERRY LYNN V BOBBY ROODE STATS| JERRY LYNN| 17 WINS FROM 27 MATCHES (63% WIN RATE – BOBBY ROODE| 7 WINS FROM 15 MATCHES (47% WIN RATE) RESULT| BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL Really strong heated match between Lynn the former World Champion and one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team Champions and Roode who calls himself the most dangerous and calculated man in TNA Wrestling. Fans in attendance were fully invested in the match. Jerry Lynn holds 3 previous victories over Bobby Roode but tonight Roode finally beat Lynn. Roode came close earlier in the match following a spine buster first and later a block buster. Lynn came back with a tornado DDT and a TKO but in the end Roode scored the biggest victory of his career after hitting a second spine buster and following that up with his running lariat to the back of Lynn’s head.
After having his hand raised in victory Bobby Roode dropped to his knees and let out a huge roar of relief and celebration before being joined in celebration by Eric Young. In years to come tonight may be the night people look back on as the night Bobby Roode made a name for himself!
Announcers compared the records between TNA Champion, Chris Harris and Chris Sabin. Harris has wrestled 37 matches the 2nd highest in TNA while Sabin has wrestled 27. Harris and Storm have 30 wins the highest in TNA while Sabin has won 18. Sabin has a 67% win rate while Harris has an 81% win rate which is also the highest win rate in TNA. Chris Harris’ last defeat came in August at the hands of Sting. The announcers debated whether Chris Harris would use the same tactics which saw him wrestle to a time limit draw against AJ Styles. Mike Tenay said the world expects a performance from TNA Champion, Chris Harris tonight.
Quick footage was shown from TNA87 last week and the face off between ‘The Icon’ Sting and ‘The Monster’ Abyss before Jim Mitchell ordered Abyss away…
‘The Icon’ Sting keeping his promise was here again tonight. Sting made his way out to the ring, Sting 2 weeks ago said he was not going anywhere until he got his hands on ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Sting had a microphone in the ring now and said as soon as he heard the TNA title was going to be defended tonight he was also going to be here but Sting also has other business and that is getting his hands on Abyss. Sting doesn’t want to waste any time and called out Abyss. Sting didn’t have to wait long for Jim Mitchell to appear on the big screen. Mitchell warned Sting that he and Abyss do not dance to the beat of Sting’s drum. Mitchell told Sting that Abyss is going to end Sting’s career but Abyss is enjoying toying with his prey. Jim Mitchell and Abyss see right through Sting they know he’s scared due to the fact he’s been in hiding for 3 months, the fact he never saved Terry Funk and needing to use a bat last week. Mitchell told Sting not to be worried because Abyss will make it quick. Mitchell told Sting the end was coming!
MATCH 5| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) RESULT| THE NATURALS VIA PIN FALL Bad Street Boys have failed to win since failing to become the TNA Tag Team Champions for a second time even being upset by Box Office and tonight was no different going down to The Naturals who also are not on the greatest run of form but tonight it was The Naturals who picked up the victory after Stevens pinned York with a roll up. Bad Street Boys were in shock after the match arguing the decision with the match official.
Chris Hero again sitting in a dark room sang the song to Mariah Carey’s classic song “Hero” – “When a hero comes along with the strength to carry on.”
NEXT WEEK| TNA89| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK! UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRIS SABIN! Christopher Daniels sitting in his private room waiting for tonight’s TNA Championship match to begin told TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson that he was about to sit down and watch as Chris Harris and Chris Sabin fought over his TNA Championship, Daniels’ promises that whoever wins tonight will not be TNA Champion for long because no one is more deserving of a shot at the TNA title than God’s gift to professional wrestling, Christopher Daniels!
AJ Styles, CM Punk, Christopher Daniels, Sting separately were shown getting ready to watch tonight’s Main Event as were the entire TNA roster in attendance tonight, top contender Chris Sabin was then shown making his way from his locker room while TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson got last minute thoughts from the TNA Champion, Chris Harris. Harris wanted to clear up firstly what happened last week with Norman Smiley saying that Harris appreciates Smiley sticking up for him but Harris did not ask Smiley to speak up for him last week. Harris said over the last few weeks people have been questioning Harris’ actions, tactics, and character but at the end of the night all people will be talking about is how Chris Harris proved he is better than Chris Sabin and is still the TNA Champion…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRIS SABIN Great match both Harris and Sabin brought their A game tonight, a lot pressure was on both men for different reasons and the eyes of the wrestling world was on tonight’s match and both Harris and Sabin did not disappoint. Harris did not employ the same negative tactics he did against AJ Styles and the match quality was a huge improvement due to that fact.
Fans were right behind the idea of Chris Sabin accomplishing his dream of becoming the TNA Champion tonight, both men came close to ending the contest Harris came close after catching Sabin unexpected with a Spear but Sabin kicked out, Sabin returned the favour later by turning Harris’ Catatonic into a swinging DDT but Harris escaped at the last second. More near falls followed with the closet being Sabin rocking Harris with a running boot in the corner and Sabin followed up by actually spiking Harris with his Cradle shock but Harris broke Sabin’s heart by popping his shoulder up at the last tenth of a second.
Harris came back into the match and showed the heart and grit needed to make a champion. Harris nearly split Sabin half with a second Spear finally hit his Catatonic before locking Sabin in his Texas Cloverleaf and Sabin tried to fight but Sabin had no choice but to tap out. RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS VIA TAP OUT TO RETAIN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP
Chris Harris exhausted just dropped of Chris Sabin’s body and rolled straight out of the ring resting against the side of the ring as the match official handed Harris his TNA title which Harris kissed before clutching to his chest. Announcers praised the efforts of both Harris and Chris Sabin who showed tonight he has the ability to one day become the TNA Champion.
Harris rolled back into the ring and pulled Chris Sabin back to his feet before the two men exchanged words, Harris then rubbed the top of Sabin’s head which seemed to wind Sabin up who pushed Harris’ hand away before dropping and rolling out of the ring to a great ovation from the crowd as Chris Harris celebrated his victory as TNA88 went off the air.

A long overdue reply, I know. My apologies, man. I know that you had asked previously for my thoughts on Chris Harris' becoming of TNA Champion, so I'll say that I am a fan of the decision. I thought that around this time, he could have made for a credible champion with the right booking. AJ Styles and CM Punk's rivalry coming to a head at TNA89 is something to look forward to. Curious to see how you go about that. Was surprised to see Sting take on Frankie Kazarian, but loved the match. It was a huge opportunity for Kazarian and it propelled him for sure. Expecting Zero Gravity to win the Top Contenders match, but I'd like for GREATNESS to eventually get a title reign. It'll be strange for Alpha Male Enterprise to eventually lose the championships since they've held them for so long at this point. Chris Harris vs. Chris Sabin made for a fantastic main event. Harris won, but Sabin just getting the opportunity was huge. Looking forward to seeing where Harris' reign goes from here.

I've long over due a reply to this, I'll be giving a more general one than a specific one to any one show.
I really liked the highlight format, helped me catch up on what I've missed lately. I love the punk/aj fued. Very cool to listen to a very modern 2012 like punk as a big time player in 2004 tna. Jerry Lynn/red vs roode/young is great. Really like the character development of young. You excel in the character development department. Your tag Divison is stacked. Can't wait to see who takes the straps off of AME it'll be a huge deal and make them stars. Abyss vs sting is good, like how you have built up with destroying sabu and funk. Not crazy about low ki being sacrificed to help make Abyss. Sabin, Daniels, kazarian, Shane, and Raven are huge favorites of mine. Your take on Chris Harris' character as the man who wants more than anything to be the best, but goes about achieving this goal the wrong way (spearing Raven before the bell, allowing Sabin to be jumped, taking his sweet time to assist Sabin, and THEN having the balls to be shocked that Sabin got to his feet) is stellar.
I'm really torn between some of your decisions. I love your sim I come to this board to read this diary and WWERyan, but no X-Division or secondary title in general, no AMW, and Low Ki being taken out are tough decisions. Especially with Petey debuting, him, Sabin, Shane, kazarian, and even Daniels would make for a killer division. No AMW I can deal with because of how great Harris and storm have been handled. Still not sure about why you would take out Low Ki but your sim is spectacular I look forward to more

TNA88 even though TNA89 is to be huge, therefore I expect this to be a lot of promotion for that. We start things off with Eric Young beating Ron Killings, nothing much really. We follow up with The Alpha Male Express getting a victory over a couple of job squad jobbers, basically getting them ready for their title defense coming up. A good promo from CM Punk here, his feud with AJ Styles has been good and their main event match next week should be grand. Moving forward, Hernandez gets a win over Kid Kash and keeps his winning streak going in his early career. We'll see what comes of him down the road. Hey, Petey Williams! The Canadian Destroyer! Looking forward to his debut. The rivalry between Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode comes to an end with the latter, rightfully, getting the win. There was obviously no reason for Lynn to win. Sting is here not only for Abyss, but because the TNA Championship is being defended? Does he want a shot!? Get through Abyss first, old man! "Abyss will make it quick" was a good line from Jim Mitchell. The Natruals beat the Bad Street Boys and we got some arguing from York and Matthews. Maybe they'll finally split soon? Christopher Daniels thinks he is the rightful TNA Champion, that's cute. Chris Harris' character is in question, but he keeps it together in his match with Chris Sabin to retain the TNA Championship. A good main event that gave Sabin the big promotion, but Harris keeping the title. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Harris, I'm curious as to what he does down the road. A good show, really looking forward to what you got for TNA89.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 24th March 2004…Wow, one day before my ninth birthday! It’s been a while, so it’s time to see what’s new since I last read. Liking the colour additions, they are handy for differentiating segments. Nice inclusion of the time limit rules, too. I always liked the information going into each show in this diary. Eric Young defeating Ron Killings was a surprise, but Young is younger (heh) and has potential, at least at this point. As long as he isn’t presented as goofy yet. I do think the result header should be written after the match write-up, though. I suppose Team Canada is an element, considering Bobby Roode is here, too. Alpha Male Enterprises continues to hold the TNA World Tag Team Championships, which is quite interesting. Squash win for them continues to show their dominance, and the aftermath with Monty Brown outlined the future opposition – but who can uncrown these guys as champions? That’s the interesting factor, here. Interesting promo from CM Punk focused on AJ Styles ahead of their grudge match coming up next week. All over the TNA Heavyweight Championship, which isn’t involved: shows the prestige you have given the TNA title. Hernandez with an easy win against Kid Kash? Strange, and hopefully Kid Kash finds a persona for himself soon, because he hit his prime in TNA in 2003 and 2004. Hope to see more. Yay, Coach D’Amore! Good to see Petey Williams getting good treatment so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of him in future episodes. You’ve done good build for Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode, and I think Roode was properly established with his win over a former TNA World Tag Team Champion and ECW World Heavyweight Champion. The alliance between Roode and Young could go to interesting places, for sure. Sting’s promo was good, as the business with Abyss resumes. It isn’t that exciting so far, so I’m hoping things take a turn. I’m also hoping for more out of this storyline, which could go very long I think. Additionally hoping for more heavyweights to arrive in TNA that actually look credible when facing Abyss – who appears to be the only giant in a crew of small talents right now. Hernandez could be groomed for that role, who knows. Christian York and Joey Matthews’ stock has fallen – but this would have been a decent match, and I have always been fond of the Naturals (maybe not as much as York and Matthews that said), so this was fine by me. Chris Hero’s short vignette was strange…more so, what kind of budget does TNA have with a song featuring Mariah Carey!? Finally, the match AJ Styles, CM Punk, Christopher Daniels and Sting (but not Abyss?) have been waiting for: Chris Harris retaining the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Sabin. I think Sabin is too young to have been considered a real threat to Harris’ title run honestly, but this established Harris as a credible champion and at the same time made Sabin look break-out material with a lot of potential. I liked Sabin breaking away from Harris after the match out of frustration – a good character edge for him. Overall, I’m glad to see this return. It was a decent show, one word of advice to give you is to try and differentiate personalities and develop a true ensemble of top stars further. That could help you out should TNA expand onto television later this year. It also mixes up undercard talent (like Sabin) that the reader could get behind. Nice work.

I totally missed that you had posted 88 or else I would have replied sooner! Fine win for EY over Killings in the opener. Can definitely see GREATNESS or Zero Gravity being the ones to finally dethrone AME. Punk/Styles at 89 should be fantastic. You've built that up really well. Hernandez a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion? Decent win for Hernandez regardless. The entire Lynn/Roode feud has been done amazingly. I'm glad to see Roode finally get the win in their final match. Looking forward to seeing where you go with Roode (and EY?) from here onwards. Sting/Abyss is another feud you've done brilliantly with. Part of me thinks Sting will go over yet the other half of me thinks that Abyss will given what he done to Low-Ki, etc. That Chris Hero segment was amazing. Made me actually laugh aloud. Huge main event. Not at all surprised that Harris retained but the match would sure as hell do wonders for Sabin and elevate him up the card. The post-match stuff with Sabin shoving Harris away was interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you're gonna do with Sabin with a potentially more arrogant, heel-ish persona.

LOCATION| Nashville, Tennessee ANNOUNCERS| Don Callis, Jeremy Borash & Mike Tenay
Mike Tenay welcomed everyone watching to TNA89 and introduced his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash the 3 announcers then hyped tonight’s card, Petey Williams makes his in ring debut, the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles will be determined when GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) take on Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) and in the Main Event former TNA Champion, AJ Styles takes on the man who cost him the TNA title, CM Punk!
TONIGHT| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK! AJ Styles was shown arriving at the arena earlier today with the former TNA Champion again promising that tonight everyone would see a different side of AJ Styles.
Time Limits| 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
Coach D’Amore stepped out on to the stage with a huge grin on his face wearing a track suite which read D’AMORE on the back. D’Amore told everyone to make a note of the date March 31st, 2004! D’Amore then introduced the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada, the man that every other man will dream of being… Petey Williams!
MATCH 1| RAY GORDY JR V PETEY WILLIAMS W.COACH D’AMORE NOTE| PETEY WILLIAMS TNA IN RING DEBUT RESULT| PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL Petey completely outwrestled the TNA Wrestling Academy student Ray Gordy Jnr for the first couple of minute, Gordy the son of Terry Gordy got in a couple of shots of his own before Williams took over and finished the match in spectacular fashion dropping Gordy on his head with a running, flipping pile driver which brought the fans in arena to their feet.
Fans stood in shock after wards as Petey Williams had his hand raised in victory, Coach D’Amore was quickly in the ring with a microphone in hand, demanding a replay be shown which it was then D’Amore demanded another and third before D’Amore who was ecstatic laughing into the microphone said Petey Williams can do things others wouldn’t even think off! Tonight everything has changed and people don’t even know it, thanks to Petey Williams. D’Amore demanded another replay be shown of the Petey Williams’ flipping pile driver.
Announcers at ringside reacted in awe to Petey Williams running, flipping pile driver. Don Callis said Petey has taken one of the most dangerous moves in wrestling to a completely new level. Ray Gordy Jnr was helped from the ring by officials.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA88| BOBBY ROODE BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL TNA Ringside reporter, Shawn Daivari was standing on the new interview podium next to the entrance stage and introduced his guest Bobby Roode. Roode walked out wearing a smart black suite and t shirt along with Roode’s hired gun Eric Young who was wearing a white vest and torn jeans. Young stood behind Roode as Roode spoke with Daivari. Daivari congratulated Roode on the biggest win of his career last week over former World Champion, Jerry Lynn. Roode told Daivari that it doesn’t matter if he has to play the short con or the long con, in the end he will get what he wants and show that it pays to be Roode. Roode again claimed to be the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Daivari asked Roode what was next for him; Roode answered the big money matches and either TNA Championship! Eric Young stormed over and grabbed the microphone and shouted down the microphone what Bobby Roode wants, Bobby Roode gets.
‘Second City Saint’ CM Punk was shown in his locker room getting ready for tonight’s Main Event against the man who Punk claims blocked him from getting his rightful rematch at the TNA Championship, AJ Styles.
TONIGHT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! MATCH 2| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS NOTE| BAD STREET BOYS HAVE NOT WON A MATCH SINCE FAILING TO BECOME TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AT TNA81 RESULT| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL BG James & Ron Killings while not having the greatest of run in the singles division are on a decent run in the Tag Team division and if it wasn’t for the form of GREATNESS & Zero Gravity plus their record against Alpha Male Enterprise they would probably be in line for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles themselves.
This was a good little match between the two fan favourites but again it ended in heartbreak for BSB after Killings pinned Matthews following his Axe kick, Bad Street Boys have now lost their last four matches. Following the match as BG James & Ron Killings celebrated, Matthews & York sat distraught in the ring, as JB asked what was next for Bad Street Boys.

I checked your original post and it looks like your tag team division is stacked. When I replied to Jord's current TNA diary I mentioned how one of TNA's best qualities is their depth at the tag team division. I think you've replicated that very well. AME, Team Canada, Zero Gravity, Greatness, and Red & Lynn are all great partnerships. Interested to read your take on this classic TNA era.
What a time to start following a diary! Styles vs Punk! Some people call your layout bland, but I enjoy it. I'm sure you can tell, but it inspired the layout for my current Lucha Underground diary. The little notes and summary really help as I'm coming into this diary late. Petey Williams debuting is awesome and I'm sure that flipping piledriver will be highlighted a lot. With no X-Division title I wonder how you're going to use him. Will he find a partner and go for tag gold, or wikll you mega push him into the main event? Punk and Styles in a rivalry around the title is nice. I'm torn on who to root for. Definitely wouldn't mind either taking the strap off of Harris. BSB has been lackluster in your diary, but it could also set up for a good feud. Maybe the two of them could go crazy and attack some other teams, steal the belts, or maybe split and feud? Tag team splits could be one of, if not the hottest feud in your diary if you book it correctly. Big Sonjay Dutt fan, but Kazarian is a good choice to push. Okay so Harris has held this title for 11 episodes? Good to know. Statistics in blue are also helpful to tell who's doing well right now. The rankings via win percentage are a nice way to bring importance to each and every match. Greatness vs Zero Gravity are both great teams who could be great title holders. Wrestling for 20 minutes is crazy long for those four. I'm assuming this means a triple threat tag match? That would make a damn good main event for TNA 91. Chris Hero? You sure do love guys named Chris. I was wondering why this match was so late on the card, but this army storyline is intriguing. Not sure what you're going to do with that. Alright. Main Event time. I'm expecting a big brawl out of these two. Awh. No contest? Man. I got what I expected with the brawl, but I feel like after this you have to let these two go at it. Ready for TNA 90 to find out where you're planning to go with Petey, AJ/Punk, BSB, and the tag titles.
