We start the big TNA89 event off with Petey Williams making his much anticipated debut and the introduction of the Canadian Destroyer on Jesse Ray Gordy, Jr. Good debut for him, I could see him coming up the ranks fast and maybe to the introduction of the X Division down the line. Big money matches or the TNA Championship is what Roode wants, ay? I'd like more big money matches first from him. Eric Young is cray. BG James and Ron Killing get a win for once, beating the Bad Street Boys whom can't do a damn thing right now. Chris Harris will make an announcement in regards to his next title defense next week, hm? Curious. Frankie Kazarian beating Sonjay Dutt was obvious. Gottam, I miss Tracy Brooks. Greatness versus Zero Gravity going to a time limit draw was a bit disappointing, but I suppose it could lead to a multi-team match for the belts. I presume that will happen now, anyway. Oh, there we go! Dusty Rhodes makes it official! At TNA91, the year long reign with AME as champs, will put the belts on the line in a triple threat match. I expect them to lose the titles, honestly. Chris Sabin is determined. Chris Hero winning via referee stoppage was fine. HAving an army of Brent Albight, The Briscoe Brothers and Lance Archer is strange, but we'll see what comes of it. AJ Styles vs CM Punk, the big main event! It goes to a no contest though... boooooooo! BOO! BOO! THIS IS BULLSMACK! However, this means the feud will probably continue but I hope it comes to an end soon with something big. Another good showing here.

Alright, been waiting for TNA89 for awhile now! Excellent opener with Petey going over, obviously, in his debut. I like how you have all members of Team Canada on the roster yet they aren't the one entity but instead two seperate teams haha. A Bad Street Boys break-up on the horizon? Really interested with the post-match Kazarian/Traci interview. I'm guessing that you're bringing someone in to team with Kazarian. GREATNESS/Zero Gravity going to a time limit draw was perfect. Keeps both teams strong plus it was an excellent way of setting up for the 3-way tag title match. I loved how you had AME come out bragging that they're getting ever closer to their one year reign as champions. Can definitely see them losing the titles this time around at TNA91. The whole Punk/AJ storyline has been built up so well. Hell, CM Punk as a whole has been built up amazingly by you. Having the footage from Punk/Raven being banned from airing is a cool move and it really emphasises how brutal that was. I love this character you have given Chris Hero. The post-match stuff really surprised me. I like the sounds of the stable though. Stellar main event. Not surprised to see it go to a no contest, to be honest. I'm not really a fan of the last 3 matches not having a proper finish. I think you could have switched things up, like swapping Kazarian/Dutt or the tag match with Hero/Caprice to break it up instead of being time limit draw, referee stoppage and a no contest one after the other. Putting that aside, the show was a good one and it going off-air with nothing resolved is smart as it makes people want to order the following week's show to find out what is next for the pair.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING APRIL 2004
TNA90 Wednesday 7th April
CHAMPIONS TNA Champion| Chris Harris (1) – beat AJ Styles| 07.01.04 TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) (1) – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn| 16.04.03
LOCATION| Nashville, Tennessee ANNOUNCERS| Don Callis, Jeremy Borash & Mike Tenay
TNA90 opened with Dusty Rhodes the onscreen representative of TNA management standing in the middle of the ring. Rhodes welcomed everyone watching to the show. Rhodes wanted to address a couple of things before tonight’s show gets underway. Rhodes brought up last weeks Main Event between AJ Styles and CM Punk as still shots of the brawl between AJ and Punk were shown on screen. Rhodes said striking match officials can not be tolerated and the riot caused by both AJ Styles and CM Punk can not go unpunished so TNA management have fined both AJ Styles and CM Punk plus both men have been banned from the arena tonight, however TNA management do understand the frustrations of both men and are working on a solution. Rhodes then brought up ‘The Icon’ Sting saying Sting missed last weeks show and will miss tonight’s show due to a family emergency but Sting has promised to return next week!
Rhodes then hyped tonight’s card where the contract will be signed for next weeks huge TNA Tag Team championship match where Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) will defend against GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) in a triple threat match. Also tonight Abyss, Raven and the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels will be in action plus current TNA champion, and Chris Harris will make an announcement on his next TNA title defence.
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay’s voice welcomed everyone watching to TNA90 before introducing his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash. Announcers quickly repeated what Dusty Rhodes had already hyped until Doug Williams’ music hit in the arena ahead of tonight’s opening match a 6 man tag team match pitting 6 men looking to impress TNA management…
Time Limits| 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
MATCH 1| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH AMAZING RED, DOUG WILLIAMS & HERNANDEZ V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU, ERIC YOUNG & KID KASH RESULT| AMAZING RED, DOUG WILLIAMS & HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL Fun opening match pitting 6 of TNA’s top prospects against once another. Williams continues to re find his form after a couple of recent injuries and it will not be long until Williams’ is back at the top of the card. The undefeated Hernandez impressed with a dive over the top rope onto his 3 opponents before coming face to face with Ekmo Fatu which excited the fans.
Amazing Red picked up the victory for his team after turning a Kash power bomb into his Code Red sunset flip power bomb. Red, Hernandez and Williams celebrated their victory afterwards as Eric Young threw a fit at ringside and Ekmo Fatu dragged Antonio Banks back up the aisle.
TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown arriving at the arena backstage with his mentor Norman Smiley. Tonight Harris announces who will get the next shot at his TNA championship. Quick shots of Abyss, Christopher Daniels and Raven 3 possible contenders to the TNA title were also shown getting ready for their respective matches tonight…
Footage was shown from TNA89 last week after Chris Hero’ had knocked out youngster Caprice Coleman, Hero was joined at ringside by the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) and TNA Wrestling Academy graduates Brent Albright & Lance Archer…
MATCH 2| JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) NOTE| BRISCOE BROTHERS APPEARED IN THE FIRST TNA TAG TEAM MATCH BUT HAVE NOT APPEARED IN 10 SHOWS SINCE TNA80 RESULT| BRISCOE BROTHERS VIA PIN FALL Chris Hero with Brent Albright and Lance Archer watched from ringside as the Briscoe Brothers took the TNA Wrestling Academy students Cross and Walters apart looking more ruthless than we have ever seen them before pinning Walters following their springboard Doomsday Device.
Brent Albright and Lance Archer rolled into the ring after the bell. Albright almost dropped Jason Cross on the top of his head with a high German supflex before holding Cross up for Archer to nearly take his jaw off with a running boot to the face. Chris Hero who was just casually standing back in the corner watching the massacre now had a microphone in hand. Hero said everyone in life needs a role model, an inspiration some to look up too even the evil, even the twisted, even the cold hearted… Hero said they are everything them people have been looking for they are Heroes for Villains!
21.01.04|TNA79| James Storm was named the top contender to the TNA title only to be attacked and injured by the returning ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels, the first ever TNA Champion. Daniels has since vowed that he would take out any man in his way of getting a shot at his TNA championship.
MATCH 3| KEN PHOENIX V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS STATS| CHRISOPHER DANIELS HAS A 79% WIN RATE – WINNING 23 OF HIS 29 MATCHES. OVERALL DANIELS CURRENTLY SITS 5TH BUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT INJURIES AND LENGTH OF SERVICE, DANIELS SITS 2ND ONLY BEHIND TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS A MAN DANIELS SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED THE TNA TITLE AGAINST TWICE WHILE CHAMPION. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA TAP OUT Ken Phoenix another TNA Wrestling Academy student getting an opportunity tonight offered his hand to the ‘Fallen Angel’ before the bell but Daniels laughed in Phoenix’s face. Phoenix didn’t embarrass himself and at times tested the first ever TNA Champion but like 23 others before him Phoenix came up short after Daniels made Phoenix tap to his Koji clutch.
Following the match Christopher Daniels spoke with TNA Ringside Reporter, Shawn Daivari. Daniels told Daivari that it was a year ago today that he lost the TNA Championship to Low Ki and Daniels is still struggling to come to terms with it, being the TNA Champion and losing the TNA title has changed Daniels forever and Daniels will do whatever it takes to get his title back ask James Storm. Daniels claims Chris Harris knows this and that’s why Harris is refusing to give Daniels his rightful shot at the title. Daniels reminded Harris that Daniels left Harris bloody and unconscious in the middle of the ring the last time they met. Daniels challenged Harris to grow a set, be a man, be a true champion and later tonight make Christopher Daniels the top contender to the TNA Championship!
Ken Phoenix was spotted at ringside afterwards shaking the hands of both the match official and the paramedic while the announcers hyped the upcoming contract signing for next weeks TNA Tag Team championship match.
TONIGHT| TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS NAMES THE NEXT TOP CONTENDER TO HIS TNA CHAMPIONSHIP! UP NEXT| CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA91| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)… Dusty Rhodes and Shawn Daivari were standing in the middle of the ring which was set up for a contract signing once highlights of the time limit draw between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity was shown which has led to next weeks TNA Tag Team championship match. Daivari reminded everyone that if Alpha Male Enterprise’ successfully defend their TNA Tag Team titles next week they will reach one year as TNA Tag Team champions. GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) came out first looking smart in suites; GREATNESS has a 73% win rate 3rd overall in the TNA Tag Team division. Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) were out next looking a lot more casual than Aries & Strong they have a 71% win rate 4th overall. AME were the last time out the champs were accompanied by Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu and AME Security all wearing AME merchandise. AME have an 80% win rate only losing 4 out of 25 matches.
The 3 teams were in the ring while the rest of AME and security were outside of the ring. GREATNESS signed the contract first followed by Zero Gravity and lastly the TNA Tag Team champions. Monty Brown picked up a microphone and said some people are calling this the toughest test of their reign and the biggest tag team match in TNA history but the reality is this is just Dusty Rhodes punishing the biggest brand in the world because they beat down Rhodes joke of a son. Like it or not next week AME retain the TNA Tag Team titles and reach one year as champions then the following week everyone is welcome to watch them celebrate their anniversary, their first of many anniversaries as TNA Tag Team champions. AME reminded everyone that AME is taking over and that AME will out live everyone. Austin Aries had heard enough and told AME they can focus all of their attention on Dusty Rhodes or parties or anything else they like but next week GREATNESS make history and become the new TNA Tag Team champions. Daivari asked London & Sydal if they had any comments. The chilled out team told Daivari that they got no comments, their not that good at the whole talking thing but next week they will do something which they are very good at and that’s win and become the new TNA Tag Team champions. AME had heard enough and the champs exited the ring while GREATNESS and Zero Gravity exchanged words of the microphone. AME Security then entered the ring and tried to take out the 2 teams only for GREATNESS and Zero Gravity to clear the ring before they signalled for the TNA Tag Team titles while AME backed up the aisle.
Highlights aired from TNA89 last week showing the in ring debut of Petey Williams who was impressive in victory which came after an outrageous running, flipping Pile driver. Exclusive footage then aired of Petey Williams and his coach Scott D’Amore talking about Petey’s debut. D’Amore revealed that the flipping Pile driver was called the ‘Canadian Destroyer’. D’Amore took great delight in bragging about the performance of Petey Williams and told everyone that last week everything changed forever thanks to Petey Williams people just don’t realise it yet.
MATCH 4| SONJAY DUTT V JOHNNY DEVINE RESULT| SONJAY DUTT VIA PIN FALL Fun short match which saw Sonjay score only his second victory here in TNA which came after Dutt caught the TNA Wrestling Academy student Devine with his version of Slice Bread No.2 – Dutt celebrated with the fans afterwards showing despite his poor record Dutt has connected with the TNA audience due to his style and never give up style.
Highlights aired from TNA84, after Raven had beat Frankie Kazarian following the match Raven attempted to spike Traci Brooks with his Even flow DDT only for Michael Shane to pull Brooks to safety…
Raven sitting in the boiler room ahead of his match with Michael Shane tonight brought up how CM Punk gave him a harsh wake up call and Raven will wear the scar of a bald head for the rest of his life to remind him never to get complacent again and since returning Raven has won his last four matches and would have won the Gauntlet for the Gold match if it wasn’t for Chris Harris jumping him between the bell. Raven told Chris Harris what ever he is planning tonight if it doesn’t include giving Raven his shot at destiny than Harris better forget it because Raven will not allow Harris to walk from the ring tonight without Raven being given his shot at the TNA Championship, quote the Raven, nevermore!
MATCH 5| RAVEN V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE NOTE| RAVEN HAS WON HIS LAST 4 MATCHES RESULT| RAVEN VIA PIN FALL Good match with Michael Shane proving to be a challenge for Raven. Alexis Laree was out in the corner of Shane despite their recent problems. Announcers were still confused as to why Michael Shane saved Traci Brooks from Raven a few weeks back. Raven continued his goof form pinning Shane following his Even flow DDT showing that despite his average overall win rate of 50% due to his recent form and the controversial finish to the Gauntlet for the Gold against Harris, Raven is entitled to a shot at the TNA championship.
Following the match Alexis Laree checked on Michael Shane only for Shane to again ignore her, Shane went to walk out on Laree only for Laree to grab hold of Shane’s arm she was screaming at Michael Shane for an explanation only for Shane to scream at Laree that they were done. Shane then stormed out of the ring leaving Laree sobbing in the middle of the ring.
TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown talking backstage with both Norman Smiley and the on screen representative of TNA management Dusty Rhodes, the conversation ended with a handshake between champion and Rhodes.
Jim Mitchell and his monster Abyss appeared on the big screen and Mitchell addressed Sting’s family emergency saying the emergency whatever it maybe was either a blessing or a lie. Mitchell told Sting that regardless the games are over because Abyss is starting to get bored and frustrated now so next week Sting has claimed he will be in attendance and if that’s true Abyss is challenging Sting to meet him in the middle of the ring man to monster face to face. As for tonight Mitchell advises Sting to sit back, relax with his feet up and watch as Abyss dissects Dustin Rhodes an old friend of Sting piece by piece. Mitchell finished up by telling Sting the end is near but promises Sting that Abyss will make it quick…
NEXT WEEK| TNA91| STING RETURNS! MATCH 6| DUSTIN RHODES V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL NOTE| ABYSS HAS NEVER BEEN PINNED DURING HIS TIME IN TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING (22 MATCHES) RESULT| ABYSS VIA PIN FALL Recorded interview aired with Dustin Rhodes before the match where Rhodes again vowed to prove that he belongs here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling but also tonight Rhodes is after revenge on Abyss for what Abyss did to his friend Terry Funk and for everything Abyss has done to everyone else before hand.
Dustin Rhodes gave everything he had and brought the fight to Abyss but Abyss does not feel pain like a normal human and the match was over after smashed Rhodes with a Choke slam but instead of going for the pin Abyss continued to inflict more pain first snapping Rhodes’ back with his Shock Treatment before finally putting Rhodes away with his Black Hole slam. Next week Sting returns and has been invited to meet the seemingly unstoppable ‘Monster’ Abyss in the middle of the ring the same Abyss who has vowed to end Sting’s legendary career!
Announcers were shown at ringside ahead of Chris Harris making his announcement which has been hyped all night. Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about Chris Harris’ reign as TNA Champion so far which saw Harris beat AJ Styles for the TNA title following interference from CM Punk, Harris and AJ then wrestled to a 30 minute time limit draw in their rematch and afterwards Harris earned criticism due to his negative, defensive tactics. Harris also got on the wrong side of Chris Sabin during the build to their TNA Championship disrespecting Sabin, Harris later apologised. Announcers then gave Harris credit for his performance in his successful TNA title defence against Chris Sabin they said they were eager to hear what Chris Harris had to say tonight…
Chris Harris’ music then hit in the arena and the head trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy who dreams of being the face of TNA made his way out in his now traditional look of blazer with shirt and jeans carrying the TNA title over his shoulder. Harris came out to a mixed response from the fans in attendance.
Harris thanked the fans for their attention and promised to make this quick. Harris started off by saying he makes this announcement with the backing of Dusty Rhodes and TNA management. Harris has discussed what he is about to announce with everyone that matters to him especially his mentor Norman Smiley, that’s how seriously Harris is taking this decision. Harris has made no secret of his desire to become the face of this great company but also to go down in history as the greatest TNA champion off all time. Harris also admits that in his attempts to impress he may have gotten on the wrong side of people but that was not Harris’ intention, Harris’ only ever intention is to be the best champion possible and a champion the fans can be proud off.
Harris revealed that he has agreed to not 1, not 2 but 3 title defences over the next 8 weeks! Harris continued by saying that all defences are against men who have legitimate claims of being the top contender to his TNA title. TNA92 – Harris will defend his TNA title against Raven! Raven feels Harris took a cheap shot at him in between the Gauntlet for the Gold match and the final stage but Harris stands by his claim that he was just caught up in the excitement but Harris does not excuse Raven putting his hands on his mentor Norman Smiley and Raven will have more pain to live with after Harris beats Raven at TNA92.
TNA95 – Christopher Daniels will face whoever is the TNA Champion! Harris admitted that Christopher Daniels was a great champion maybe the measuring stick for all great champions that follow and it’s true that Daniels twice retained the TNA title against Harris and on one occasion Daniels left Harris unconscious and bloody in the middle of the ring and because of that there is no one Chris Harris wants to beat more and at TNA95, Harris will beat Christopher Daniels in the middle of the ring.
Finally at TNA98, Harris will defend his TNA title against the man who claims it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest off all time, CM Punk! CM Punk believes AJ Styles avoided him, Harris will not allow CM Punk to make the same allocation against him. Harris said come TNA98, Harris will still be standing tall as the TNA Champion a champion everyone can respect and be proud off but Harris isn’t done yet but the grand finale, the coupe de grace will be announced in due time but after beating Raven, Christopher Daniels and CM Punk no one can argue that Chris Harris is not the greatest TNA Champion of all time, with that Harris was interrupted by James Storm!
Fans were on their feet ecstatic to see their hometown hero the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm. Storm who is still on the inactive list due to being attacked and injured by Christopher Daniels stormed down the aisle as the announcers questioned whether Storm had been cleared to return to the ring or not. Chris Harris looked a little worried about seeing Storm. Storm was made the top contender to the TNA title the night he was injured by Christopher Daniels. Storm stood opposite Harris as the fans stood in the crowd. Storm told Harris that by TNA98, doctors should have cleared Storm to return and when Storm’s cleared and got his hands on Christopher Daniels he wants his shot at the TNA title. Harris looked nervous and took a big gulp before nodding at Storm before telling Storm that he does not appreciate the interruption the two men stared at each other intensely before Harris backed out of the ring. TNA90 went off the air James Storm standing tall in the middle of the ring while the announcers spoke about Storm’s return instead of Chris Harris’ huge announcement.

Is Antonio Banks MVP? I don't why, but that's what I think of. I forget how big of a deal Amazing Red was around this era. Interesting that the Briscoes haven't been on in 10 shows. The notes thing is a cool idea. Glad they won. I enjoy them but they didn't hit their peak as a unit until 2007. Brent Albright rules. Lancer Archer, not so much. I'm surprised you didn't go with the Lance Hoyt name since this is TNA. I was going to ask who Ken Phoenix was but you explained it. Christopher Daniels has been excellently booked in this diary. Good build for the Tag Team Title match. I would love to see Greatness end the Alpha Male Enterprise title reign. Fine little win for Sonjay Dutt. Keeping track of win percentage is great to keep this original. Raven is on fire. I've never been a fan of Dustin Rhodes. I love Goldust but that's the only time he ever entertains me. Abyss should be getting a title shot soon judging by his record. Big plans for Chris Harris. Three defenses announced and all sound pretty good. Glad to see that this is back.

A couple of confusing things, like name changes and the inclusion of people like Kenny Dykstra, who would have only been 18 when this took place, and the Briscoe Brothers who weren't particularly known or all that great in 2004. Interesting to see that you included people like John Walters and Jason Cross, and it's also a little baffling that Doug Williams and Hernandez are in there too. Regardless of that, I enjoyed this episode. Some good match ups and I really dug the announcement. Chris Harris as champion is sweet, and I like the team of Elix and Monty. Raven is booked really well in this sim, and I look forward to seeing what happens in TNA 91.

I think an 18 year old lower card/jobber is fine, Rene Dupree was only 19 when he and Sylvain won the World Tag Titles.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 31st March 2004...So we now arrive in April after this show. I wonder whether you have any big plans moving forward for the promotion's growth as a whole...could be interesting to see unfold. I've just noticed that you have a three-man announce team involving Mike Tenay, Don Callis and Jeremy Borash. I'm not sure if I like that a lot or not, because I think Borash was better suited in backstage announcing and in-ring announcing. Decent opening contest with Coach Scott D'Amore announcing the debut of Petey Williams. A good win for him against the young Ray Gordy Jr (who I hope we see more of in the future), with the flipping piledriver being a selling point for his character. Williams should have a bright future in TNA, so I am interested in seeing how this goes. D'Amore demanding a replay is kind of humorous, and something I hope we see more of in the future. I always liked Scott's character, so this is something I want to see utilised a lot. TNA now having an interview podium like the old WWF one sounds pretty cool - and it could be good for segments including this with Bobby Roode. I still don't understand Shawn Daivari as an interviewer - it just strikes me as random. I do think Roode's still too young to be getting into the TNA World Heavyweight Championship picture - and Eric Young's interaction struck me as if he was going to be a manager for him here. Christian York and Joey Matthews continue their losing streak, eating a loss to BG James and Ron Killings - that's sad, but I guess it could be building to a fun storyline with York and Matthews eventually winning the TNA World Tag Team Championships - I hope, unless plans change. York and Matthews have practically treaded water for a long time, to be honest. Frankie Kazarian on the rise by the sound of that statistic - which is good. Fine win against Sonjay Dutt - who I hope you take advantage of, since he was terribly misused throughout his tenure in TNA Wrestling. Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Matt Sydal and Paul London would have had an awesome match - and the time limit draw was interesting, probably setting up a three-way tag match with the Alpha Male Enterprises with the titles on the line. I do hope the Enterprise loses their titles soon however, they've had the TNA World Tag Team Championships for too long, in my opinion. It's time for something new, not just for Monty Brown and co, but for the entire tag team division. Dusty Rhodes as a fair, neutral authority figure is always a good thing: refreshing in contrast to everybody's love for heel authority figures. CM Punk and AJ Styles has been very well promoted, building up to tonight's main event - perfectly paced out. Chris Sabin feuding with Chris Harris could be cool, but it just strikes me as a strange rivalry to have. I don't think their chemistries would blend very well. Chris Hero continues to keep busy by defeating a young Caprice Coleman. I didn't quite understand Hero's involvement with the Briscoe Brothers, Brent Albright and Lance Archer - but alright. I hope there's more to be explained after this show from these five - the army gimmick doesn't sound so fun, though. More random than anything, and juxtaposing with Hero's persona. Either way, it's another tag team for the pile of teams on the roster - which is another reason why you need to get the TNA World Tag Team Championships off of Monty Brown's faction sooner than later in my mind. And lastly, the well-promoted main event with AJ Styles and CM Punk ends in disappointment: it extends their rivalry even more, but it's sad that a well-promoted match like this went to nothing. I think we could see something special with these two...perhaps the debut of the steel-cage match in TNA? That would be a gamechanger, and much worth this feud's continuation. Overall, aside from the saddening conclusion to the show, this was decent in terms of progressing storylines which will unfold practically unpredictably.

Right off the bat, I love the layout. Very simple yet very unique and different compared to the others on the board. The notes on the matches help new readers like myself get comfortable to the sim. Now, onward to some total non stop action. The American Dream opening the show was a good call after the main event that many wanted to see, ended like it did. AJ and Punk banned from the arena tonight? Realism in pro wrestling, who woulda thunk it? Sting also missing this weeks show? Hm, I wonder star power how this show will hold up now. Red, Hernandez, and Doug Williams going over was a good call. Love me some Amazing Red and Doug Williams so always nice to see them win. Curious as to what the future holds for Doug Williams. Briscoe Brothers return match and they walk out the winner, dem boys doing us proud. Before this though we had two good segments, one featuring the World Champion Chris Harris and the other featuring That Young Knockout Kid, Chris Hero. Interesting post match segment following the tag match, is this the formation of a new stable? Intriguing, very intriguing. Daniels going over was the right call and again I gotta say that the notes spot is really good, the win rate and etc. is very well done. Daniels wants the title back damn it! Will he get what he wants though? The tag division seems beyond solid in this and I have to commend you on that as tag divisions are typically the hardest thing to build. Dutt winning was nice, always had a sweet spot for him in my heart after the Guru gimmick in TNA. Raven going up to a five match win streak after beating Michael Shane is impressive. While not knowing the complete standings, that has to mean something for Raven when it comes to Chris Harris's announcement later tonight. Twenty Two matches for Abyss and not one has he been pinned in, Can Dustin Rhodes be the first to do it? No? Oh, well it's alright how can you expect someone to beat The Monster anyways? Good main event and now we're on to the big World Championship announcement! Well there you have it, Harris is defending the World Championship in two weeks against Raven! But wait, there's more! In five weeks we will see Chris Harris defending against Christopher Daniels, another hard match but will the champ overcome the Fallen Angel? Last but not least in eight weeks we will see Chris Harris go one on one with C.M. Punk in what should be another very difficult task for the Champ. However if he can indeed conqueror all three matches, will he be the one thing he wants to be? Will Chris Harris be the face of TNA? Only time can tell! Great episode of TNA and you will have a reader in me.

TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! Mike Tenay, Jeremy Borash and Don Callis were shown at ringside the 3 announcers hyped tonight’s Main Event plus reminded everyone that tonight ‘The Icon’ Sting returns and ‘The Monster’ Abyss has promised to call out Sting tonight but up first tonight we would hold the contract signing for the upcoming TNA title matches…
TNA management’s onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes was standing in the ring which was set up for the contract signing. Rhodes welcomed everyone to TNA91. Rhodes confirmed that TNA management sanctioned all TNA title matches announced by Chris Harris last week and cleared up that Harris would next week defend the TNA title against Raven and the winner would defend the TNA title against the first ever TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels at TNA95 then at TNA98; CM Punk would face whomever was the TNA Champion at that point. CM Punk would not be here live in person tonight because both Punk and AJ Styles are still suspended due to their actions at TNA89 however both are free to return next week. CM Punk has been sent a copy of the contract and will appear on the big screen to have his say and sign his contract shortly but Punk has been warned to be careful with what he says…
TNA Champion, Chris Harris came out first and shook hands with Dusty Rhodes in the middle of the ring. Harris again wearing his blazer, shirt and jeans was shortly joined by Raven. Raven still bald with his face painted wearing a skirt and leather jacket rolled into the ring and sat in the corner showing no emotion. ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels was the last man out, the first ever TNA Champion held the title for 8 months. CM Punk appeared on the big screen live from his home in Chicago. Rhodes told all four men to sign their contracts not all confirming their respective TNA title shots but also accepting to defend the TNA title on the scheduled Pay per Views. Chris Harris made a point of signing the contract first, quickly followed by CM Punk then Christopher Daniels before Raven stood up and calmly walked over signed the contract and tossed the pen at Chris Harris. Raven gave CM Punk the finger as he made his way back to the corner it was CM Punk who shaved Raven bald.
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari entered the ring and asked CM Punk if he had any comments to make. Punk told Dusty Rhodes that his nightmare was very close to coming true at TNA98 finally CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ becomes the TNA Champion! Punk looked around the ring and laughed saying none of the men in the ring worry him especially not Raven. Punk told Dusty Rhodes that any thoughts Rhodes or TNA management have of putting him in the ring with AJ Styles before his TNA title match he can forget about them Punk will only face AJ Styles after his TNA title match and even then Punk will make sure it’s Non-title. Punk finished up by telling Harris, Daniels and Raven he hopes they kill each other and he’ll see the TNA Champion at TNA98.
Christopher Daniels pulled the microphone from Daivari and said a year ago the TNA title was stolen from him but despite not holding the most precious title in all of wrestling Daniels continues to be the standard the bench mark and in 4 weeks ‘God’s gift to professional wrestling’ will make history once again and regain the TNA Championship. Daniels walked up to Raven and reminded Raven that he’s beat him then Daniels got in Harris’ face smile and took great delight in reminding Harris that not only has Daniels beat him but the last time they met Daniels left Harris bloody and unconscious in the middle of the ring. Daniels then exited the ring as Raven continued to sit in the corner as Daivari approached the champion.
Daivari asked Harris if he was having any second thoughts now the contracts were signed. Harris told Daivari that he was determined to prove his worth as TNA Champion and will go down in history as the greatest TNA Champion off all time and the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Harris promised the fans that he will be a champion then can all be proud off. Daivari asked Chris Harris about James Storm’s interruption last week but Harris cut Daivari off before he could go much further and told Daivari that he doesn’t want to talk about James Storm much to the annoyance of the crowd, telling them Storm is still to be cleared by the doctors and even then Storm has to prove he deserves a shot at the TNA title. Raven got up and walked to meet Harris face to face, Raven put his finger over his mouth before telling Harris to be quiet. Raven asked Harris how Norman Smiley was before telling Harris to stop talking, stop dreaming about being the face of the company. Raven asked Harris if he was ready, ready to handle the disappointment of losing the TNA Championship next week. Harris looked worried as Raven told Harris that his destiny is to become the TNA Champion which means Chris Harris destiny is to be a failure! Harris went to go for Raven but stopped himself, Raven didn’t budge. Quote the Raven, nevermore! The biggest challenge of Chris Harris career begins next week but if somehow Chris Harris over comes all of the odds it is fair to say he will be recognised as one of the greatest TNA Champions of all time.

GREATNESS and Zero Gravity have naturally chemistry add Alpha Male Enterprise and you get an instant classic, a great Main Event the fans were split on who they favoured either GREATNESS or Zero Gravity but they were united in wanting to see AME lose the TNA Tag Team titles.

AME were straight out of the ring and were handed their TNA titles in the aisle as they were joined by Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu and AME Security.
GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) were still out on their backs after going through hell only to be robbed out of the TNA Tag Team titles by Alpha Male Enterprise.

Good match but it ended in more heartache for Bad Street Boys they always seem to take one step forward only to stake two steps back.

Video package aired looking at the rivalry between former TNA Champion, AJ Styles and CM Punk. AJ just about successfully defended the TNA title against CM Punk at TNA70| Make or Break! After their war and despite losing Punk was adamant that he deserved an automatic rematch and blamed AJ Styles for not receiving one even accusing AJ of refusing to face him. Punk got his revenge by interfering and costing AJ Styles the TNA title at the start of the year. TNA89 – AJ and Punk finally met in a match that was heavily promoted by TNA management only for the match to turn into carnage a riot pretty much broke out between Punk and Styles which saw both men ignore the match official and even strike a number of officials which led to the suspension of both AJ Styles and CM Punk however last week their rivalry took another twist when it was announced that CM Punk would face the TNA Champion whomever he may be at TNA87!
TNA Ringside Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing on the new interview podium at the side of the stage introduced his guest the former TNA Champion, AJ Styles! AJ walked out next to Daivari not looking happy. AJ and Daivari shook hands before Daivari told AJ the floor was his to address the recent events of the last few months. AJ Styles thanked Daivari before telling the fans that as cliché as it sounds he has worked his entire life overcoming all obstacles and proving all doubters wrong to even have a career in the professional wrestling industry but AJ like every man backstage and every man in this industry dreamed of being World Champion and thanks to TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling putting the sports before the entertainment the best wrestlers in the world rose to the top and now everyone in the back and wrestlers within in the industry thanks to the hard work and dedication of the TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling roster wants to be the TNA Champion!
CM Punk took that honour from AJ Styles! AJ said Punk can justify his actions anyway he wants, Punk and others can even believe the words that come out of CM Punk’s mouth but nothing changes the fact that CM Punk took from him everything AJ has ever worked for, CM Punk stole AJ Styles’ dream. AJ said all the weddings, birthdays, funerals he missed everyone AJ let down AJ justified his actions by saying it would all be worth it when he became World Champion, all of them feelings of guilt return! AJ then apologised for his actions a couple of weeks ago but AJ will not rest until he has gotten his revenge on CM Punk but the irony is CM Punk is now refusing to face AJ until at least after his TNA title shot. AJ said he’s not taking any chances and has 6 weeks to earn a shot at the TNA Championship so CM Punk can’t avoid him for him forever, AJ actually wished Punk good luck in his TNA title match because there is nothing AJ would love more than to take the TNA title from CM Punk!
NEXT WEEK| TNA93| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V BOBBY ROODE! TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown watching AJ Styles’ interview while getting ready for his TNA title defence later tonight against Raven…

Hero reminded everyone that Jay & Mark won the first ever tag team match here in TNA and they are the team that built the division and they always put the fans first but that got them nowhere, nowhere and it wasn’t long before the fans turned their backs on the Briscoe’s, when the Briscoe’s wrestled for the fans they never became the TNA Tag Team Champions but now they wrestle for him and now they are apart of Heroes for Villains it will not be long before the Briscoe Brothers are the TNA Tag Team Champions and are true Heroes for Villains!

Lynn claimed recently he wants to test himself against the best TNA has to offer and tonight Lynn was tested against the former British Champion who holds a victory over Lynn before coming to TNA last year. Lynn and Williams had a really good technical wrestling match which the fans enjoyed, the match went over 15 minutes and in the end it was Williams who came away with the important win after catching Lynn with his Chaos Theory. After the match Williams and Lynn shook hands in a nice sign of respect, a couple of victories like that and it will not be long before Doug Williams is back in the TNA title picture.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA49| 11.06.03| RAVEN BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS EVEN FLOW DDT TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V RAVEN!

Monty Brown requested a microphone while all members of AME grabbed a bottle of champagne. Brown demanded the fans stand up and show their respect to their TNA Tag Team Champions of one year! Brown reminded everyone that he told them AME were taking over and this was only just the beginning, they are the biggest brand in the world and AME will out live everyone! Brown also reminded everyone that a few weeks ago they came out and here and asked TNA management to retire the TNA Tag Team titles but now they are demanding management retire the TNA Tag Team titles because the TNA Tag Team titles have peaked they will never be held by a team as dominant as AME!
Mike Tenay reminded viewers that AME cheated to retain their TNA Tag Team titles last week screwing over both GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London). Brown continued by saying that they have beaten every team in the TNA Tag Team Division and challenged TNA management to at least find them some competition if they are not going to retire the TNA Tag Team titles. With that AME’s celebrations were cut short when GREATNESS, Zero Gravity plus BG James & Ron Killings, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews), The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) and Box Office made their way to ringside. Austin Aries had a microphone in hand…
Aries said last week AME screwed them and Zero Gravity out of the TNA Tag Team titles and have now been the champions for over a year, Aries admitted that it was some achievement but for the last year AME has pretty much made an enemy out of the entire division and after their actions last week every team in the Division is more determined than ever to take the TNA Tag Team titles from AME. Brown laughed at Aries comments before going around the ring pointing each team telling them one by one AME had beaten them.
Traci Brooks suddenly walked out on to the stage with a microphone in hand and congratulated AME on being the greatest Tag Team Champions in the history of TNA and the greatest team of the millennium but now it was time to enter a new millennium and introduced the future of the TNA Tag Team Division…. Frankie Kazarian and Michael Shane! AME looked worried in the ring as the competition in the TNA Tag Team Division just got tougher. The entire TNA Tag Team Division is coming for Alpha Male Enterprise and the TNA Tag Team titles!
We immediately joined TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes backstage standing with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson. Rhodes mentioned how every team in the TNA Tag Team Division are desperate for a shot at the TNA Tag Team titles now it was time to see who wants it more and Rhodes was about to announce a huge opportunity for the TNA Tag Team Division, in 2 weeks at TNA94 the Main Event would be the biggest tag team match in TNA history a 24 man, 12 team elimination match then afterwards the next top contenders to AME’s TNA Tag Team titles will be decided!
TNA94| MAIN EVENT| 24 MAN 12 TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN, BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS), BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS, GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG), JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS and ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU), BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG, BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS), BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE), NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W.

NEXT WEEK| TNA93| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V BOBBY ROODE! MATCH 5| ERIC YOUNG V SONJAY DUTT RESULT| ERIC YOUNG VIA PIN FALL Bobby Roode joined Borash, Callis & Tenay at the announce table for his friend Eric Young’s match but Roode spent the whole match talking about himself and not Young especially his Main Event match against AJ Styles next week. Roode was offended that AJ never mentioned Roode earlier tonight and advised AJ to spend the next week watching footage of Roode beating Jerry Lynn because next week AJ Styles finds out that Bobby Roode is the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA Wrestling and a future World Champion!
Young and Dutt had a decent but quick match and it was Roode’s hired gun, Eric Young who came away with the win after countering a wheelbarrow bulldog by Dutt into a neck breaker. Following the bell Young rubbed his forearm into Dutt’s face before kicking Dutt out of the ring. Bobby Roode entered the ring and Young was all over Roode screaming at the camera that next week Bobby Roode would beat AJ Styles!
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V RAVEN… Footage aired from the Gauntlet for the Gold match from November when it came down to Chris Harris in the final stage of the Gauntlet but after the in between the bells Harris caught Raven unexpectedly with a Spear. The Announcers then discussed while a number of replays were shown of the spear whether Harris had heard the bell stopping the match or not, Mike Tenay refused to believe Harris heard the bell while Callis is adamant Harris not only heard the bell but seen the match official call for the bell but couldn’t resist taking Raven down while Borash sat on the fence saying the only person who really knows the answer is TNA Champion, Chris Harris…
At the start of the show we heard from TNA Champion, Chris Harris now moments before tonight’s Main Event we heard from Raven who was sitting in the boiler room located somewhere in the arena. Raven rubbed his shaved head before speaking. After being humiliated by CM Punk, Raven vowed to be more sadistic than ever believing that’s what Raven needed to achieve his destiny of becoming the TNA Champion and while Raven has dropped many innocent men and women since the truth is Chris Harris maybe the most sadistic of them all because Harris actually believes he’s a good man.
Regardless tonight that doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if Chris Harris purposely speared Raven or not all that matters is that by the end of the night Chris Harris is no longer called TNA Champion – Quote the Raven, nevermore!
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V RAVEN STATS| CHRIS HARRIS HAS AN 82% WIN RATE WINNING 31 OF HIS 38 MATCHES – RAVEN HAS A 50% WIN RATE WINNING 8 OF HIS 16 MATCHES NOTE| CHRIS HARRIS LAST DEFEAT CAME BACK IN AUGUST 2003 AT TNA58 AGAINST STING – RAVEN HAS WON HIS LAST 5 MATCHES Norman Smiley accompanied Chris Harris to ringside to watch his close friend Harris defend his TNA title against Raven the man who attacked Smiley a few weeks back.
Before the bell Harris stood in his corner all business while Raven as always sat in his corner showing no emotion but as soon as the bell rang Raven was up and all over the TNA Champion.
Raven wouldn’t give Harris a second to breath, really taking the champion of his game. Majority of the fans in the arena were behind Raven. There was no negative tactics from Harris tonight but that mainly may have been down to Raven’s tactics of constantly being in Harris’ face. Harris had to fight Raven’s match, which included a spell at ringside and even a short spell in the crowd the match official showing some leniency due to the importance of the bout but again to Harris’ credit he never backed down from Raven.
Harris took control of the match and came close to retaining his title after nailing Raven with his Catatonic only for Raven to kick out; Harris also managed to lock Raven in the Texas cloverleaf the same move which beat Raven at Gauntlet for the Gold but Raven wouldn’t quit and made it to the ropes. Raven rolled out of the ring and Harris followed only to be dropped face first on to the ring steps with a drop toe hold. Harris was out cold. Norman Smiley was on his feet worried at ringside, Raven managed to pull the knocked out Harris to his feet before rolling him back into the ring. Smiley confronted at Raven at ringside holding Raven up and giving Harris time to recover but not much because Raven pushed Smiley aside and followed Harris into the ring before signalling for his Even flow DDT. Harris could barely stand, Raven spun Harris around hooked his head and looked to spike Harris with his Evenflow DDT only for Harris to quickly sweep Raven’s legs and shock Raven with a jacknife cradle for the 3 count! RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP
Raven sat up in shock immediately as Chris Harris rolled out of the ring where he was met by Norman Smiley at ringside. Smiley helped Harris to his feet before raising Harris’ hand in victory while Raven questioned the fall with the match official.
The announcers discussed whether Norman Smiley should have been involved at the finish, distracting Raven giving Harris time to recover however the announcers agreed that Harris never knew about Smiley’s involvement and gave Harris credit in picking up another impressive victory here tonight. Raven wasn’t happy and a couple of officials were now in the ring to escort Raven from the ring as soon as Raven left the ring Chris Harris re entered the ring and was handed his TNA Championship by the match official. Chris Harris celebrated with his TNA title as graphic appeared on graphic advertising Harris’ next TNA title defence…
TNA95| 12.05.04| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! Chris Harris and Norman Smiley continued to celebrate Chris Harris’ victory when Christopher Daniels the first ever TNA Champion, ‘God’s Gift to professional Wrestling’ walked out on to the stage which got Harris attention. Harris and Daniels have met twice before and on both occasions Chris Harris failed to beat Christopher Daniels and on the second occasion the ‘Fallen Angel’ left the current TNA Champion bloody and unconscious in the middle of the ring. TNA92 went off the air with Norman Smiley strapping the TNA title around the waist of Chris Harris while Christopher Daniels the top contender to the TNA title watched on from the stage.

MATCH 1| DUSTIN RHODES V KID KASH NOTE| DUSTIN RHODES ONLY VICTORY IN HIS FIRST 5 MATCHES HERE IN TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING HAS COME VIA A DISQUALIFICATION RESULT| DUSTIN RHODES VIA PIN FALL Dustin Rhodes admits that he only has a job with TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling due to the fact that his Father Dusty Rhodes is apart of TNA Management but Dustin has made it clear that he is willing to earn his spot and prove that he deserves to be here. Tonight was a good start, Rhodes and Kash two veterans but on a very good match which the crowd got into. Kash may not have won many recently but Kash over the last few weeks is showing signs that he is retuning to form but tonight it was Rhodes who picked up the victory following a bulldog off the ropes. Look of relief was clear of Rhodes face as he had his hand raised in victory by the match official.

HIGHLIGHTS| TNA92| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS BEAT RAVEN VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP!! Following the replay Norman Smiley was standing by backstage with reporter, Scott Hudson. Smiley asked for this time to address the out come of last weeks Main Event. Smiley mentioned how some people believe Smiley buying Chris Harris some time last week distracted Raven long enough for Harris to recover and ultimately retain his TNA title. Smiley claimed people who believe that are disrespecting the TNA Champion, the hardest working man in the business today ‘The Professional’ Chris Harris who is a good honest man who doesn’t deserve the unfair criticism. Dusty Rhodes TNA Management’s onscreen representative interrupted and told Smiley he doesn’t believe Smiley’s distraction made a difference to the outcome but there is a clear issue between Smiley and Raven so management have decided to make a match between the pair of them at TNA95 which is the same night Chris Harris will defend his TNA title against Christopher Daniels. Rhodes patted a frustrated Smiley on the shoulder and joked that at TNA95, Smiley will be to busy concentrating on his own match to get involved in the TNA title match.
TNA94| MAIN EVENT| 24 MAN 12 TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN, BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS), BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS, GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG), JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS and ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU), BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG, BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS), BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE), NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS and THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)! MATCH 2| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS NOTE| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS HAVE WON 14 FROM 23 MATCHES AND HAVE A 61% WIN RATE RESULT| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL Video package aired looking at Frankie Kazarian and Michael Shane in singles action while Traci Brooks’ voice sang the praises of both men before finishing by saying everyone knows how good they are individually before asking people to imagine how good they could be together, welcome to the New Millennium of tag team wrestling…
Pre match backstage, BG James & Ron Killings spoke with TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson and told Hudson that every tag team in TNA dreams of being the TNA Tag Team champions but everyone also wants to be the team to end the reign of Alpha Male Enterprise. Tonight and next week in the 24 man/12 team Elimination match BG James & Ron Killings jump to the head of the line.
Good match between two teams looking to push GREATNESS & Zero Gravity for the next shot at the TNA Tag Team Champions. Kazarian and Shane worked together well and they may have scored a victory on their debut night over the established James & Killings if it was not for Shane’s former girl friend Alexis Laree. Laree made her way to ringside to confront Brooks for stealing Shane from her which was enough to distract both Shane and Kazarian which allowed BG James to plant Shane with his pump handle slam for the victory. Alexis Laree had to be dragged from ringside afterwards screaming at Traci Brooks for taking her man. New Millennium was fuming about the defeat as BG James and Ron Killings signalled for the TNA Tag Team titles.
Tenay, Borash & Callis discussed on camera that later tonight we would hear from ‘The Monster’ Abyss via Jim Mitchell for the first time since Abyss attacked ‘The Icon’ Sting. Quick footage was shown of Sting struggling to make his way back up the aisle after having his own baseball bat broke across his back.
MATCH 3| RAY GORDY V BRENT ALBRIGHT W. HEROES FOR VILLAINS (BRISCOE BROTHERS, CHRIS HERO & LANCE ARCHER) NOTE| BRENT ALRBIGHT’S TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION IN RING DEBUT RESULT| BRENT ALBRIGHT VIA TAP OUT Brent Albright mauled the TNA Wrestling Academy student, Ray Gordy focusing on the neck of Gordy which is still not right after taking the Canadian Destroyer from Petey Williams recently. Albright dropped Gordy on the back of his head/neck with a high release half nelson supflex before locking in the Fujiwara arm bar which Albright calls Crowbar for the submission.
Heroes for Villains entered the ring after the bell Briscoe’s and Archer stood back as Chris Hero confronted Albright after the bell holding a microphone. Hero grabbed Albright by the face as he spoke Albright & Hero never took their eyes of one another. Hero intensely introduced Brent Albright from Tulsa, Oklahoma, weighing in at over 230lbs been in the business since 1998. Hero said everyone knows that Hero is not intimidated by any man, name or reputation but if there was one man who could strike fear into his heart it is Brent Albright, Hero called Albright, cold, sick and twisted perfect for Heroes for Villains. Hero finished by telling everyone to embrace the hate!
TNA95|12.05.04| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! Tenay, Borash & Callis spoke on camera as both Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels were getting ready for their interview. The announcers mentioned how the TNA title match at TNA95 will see the two men with the best active, long term record in TNA compete for the TNA title. Record shows that Chris Harris is the best with a 82% win rate while Christopher Daniels has a 80% win rate but the announcers also mentioned how in their previous two meetings Chris Harris has failed to beat Christopher Daniels with one going to a time limit draw and the second saw Daniels beat Harris by referee stoppage leaving Harris bloody and unconscious in the middle of the ring.
TNA Champion, Chris Harris and top contender – the first ever TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels appeared on screen both via satellite. Harris was in shorts and a t shirt looking sweaty just finished training at the TNA Wrestling Academy while Daniels was wearing a shirt and trousers in his home having a drink while getting a manicure and pedicure done. Tenay thanked both men for joining them before congratulating Harris on his victory last week and asking how Harris was feeling tonight. Harris apologised for not being at the show in person but needs to get in as much training as possible for his match against Christopher Daniels at TNA95. Harris said he felt fine, gave credit to Raven for bringing the fight to him but Harris proved why people should never count him out because he always gets the job done. Daniels interrupted claiming Harris only got the job done because of Norman Smiley’s distraction. Harris denied the claim. Daniels told Harris he had no problem with the move and told Harris he would have done the same thing. Harris snapped a little telling Daniels he was nothing like him but Daniels disagreed again, telling Harris they are more alike than Harris even likes to believe. Daniels told Harris he may be sitting back getting his hands and feet looked after while wearing a expensive suite and drinking the finest champagne in the world but what they have in common is their desire to be the best to be the TNA Champion. Christopher Daniels will do whatever it takes to become the TNA Champion, take out whoever stands in his way just like he did James Storm and Chris Harris will do the same only difference is Daniels the ‘bad guy’ is honest about it while Chris Harris lies because Harris is so determined to create this false image of being a good guy, the hardest working man in the business, the face of TNA but ultimately that will be Harris’ down fall.
Chris Harris cut Daniels off and told the ‘Fallen Angel’ that Daniels can talk all he wants all that matters is that in two weeks at TNA95, Harris will beat Daniels and retain his TNA title, Daniels laughed at Harris’ comments and asked whether Harris’ even believed the words coming out of his own mouth. Daniels reminded Harris of their last encounter which saw Daniels beat Harris via referee stoppage leaving Harris unconscious in a pool of his own blood. Daniels told Harris if he has to do that again to Chris Harris to become the TNA Champion he will. Daniels told Harris when he says something they are just words but when Daniels speaks they have meaning like the time when Daniels told everyone he would win the first Gauntlet for the Gold match and become the first TNA Champion! Daniels told Harris at TNA95, Chris Harris would not beat Christopher Daniels. At TNA95, God’s gift to professional wrestling will make history once again when he becomes the TNA Champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.
Christopher Daniels asked for his feed to be cut while Tenay asked Chris Harris if he had any response, Harris sitting in his chair tried thinking of a response before standing up clearly frustrated by Daniels words. Harris then tossed the chair he was sitting in across the gym before demanding that his feed be cut off also. Christopher Daniels is visibly in the end of the TNA Champion, Chris Harris only two weeks away from their huge TNA Championship match!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA91| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) BEAT GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) AND ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! MATCH 4| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) NOTE| ZERO GRAVITY HOLD TWO PREVIOUS VICTORIES OVER THE NATURALS RESULT| ZERO GRAVITY VIA PIN FALL GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) joined the announcers at the broadcast table. Aries said they were just out to scout both teams while also send a message to AME. Strong said AME maybe the TNA Tag Team Champions but they are the worst thing possible for the division and it hurts him that the Division that they and others like Zero Gravity are trying to build are being represented by AME. Aries vowed that one way or another they would get their revenge on AME for screwing them out of the TNA Tag Team titles and the best revenge they can think of is taking the titles from AME.
Good match with Zero Gravity showing a bit more of a nasty side as a result of also being cheated out of the TNA Tag Team titles by AME. Zero Gravity took the victory after Sydal pretty much knocked Matthews out with a jumping knee to the chin allowing London to pin Matthews following a running Shooting Star press.
Following the match Zero Gravity confronted GREATNESS at ringside and the two teams exchanged words both wanting the next shot at the TNA Tag Team titles and the first shot of revenge against AME but before that next week GREATNESS & Zero Gravity have to work together in the huge 12 team/24 man Elimination tag team match.
Footage was shown from during tonight’s show of Eric Young the best friend and some say hired gun of Bobby Roode banging on AJ Styles’ locker room door screaming that Bobby Roode was going to hurt AJ tonight, Young had to be pulled away by officials before AJ came out of his locker room.
MATCH 5| CHRIS SABIN V KEN PHOENIX NOTE| CHRIS SABIN HAS A 66% WIN RATE FROM 29 MATCHES – 19 WINS AND 10 LOSSES, 13TH OVERALL CURRENTLY RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL Chris Sabin pre match spoke with Reporter, Scott Hudson backstage. Sabin admitted to being a little frustrated lately saying he has not been as active as he would like since challenging for the TNA title but after a chat with Dusty Rhodes, Sabin is happy things are going to change very soon and tonight Sabin is going to showcase just how awesome he is. Ken Phoenix, Sabin’s opponent tonight and TNA Wrestling Academy student interrupted Sabin’s time which Phoenix apologised for but Phoenix just wanted to introduce himself, Phoenix offered his hand to Sabin which Sabin shook. Phoenix told Sabin he hopes the best man wins tonight, Sabin winked at Phoenix telling him the best man will…
The match turned into a showcase for Chris Sabin, Phoenix has talent and will be a player one day but tonight Sabin was on fire wowing the fans with a number of his favourite moves before pinning Phoenix following his Cradle shock.
NEXT WEEK| STING RETURNS! Following the breaking news that ‘The Icon’ Sting would return from next week TNA ringside reporter, Shawn Daivari was standing on the interview podium next to the entrance stage. Daivari welcomed his guests Jim Mitchell and ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Daivari was noticeably nervous around Abyss who towered over the reporter. Daivari repeated the news that Sting would return next week. Good said Jim Mitchell, Mitchell said Abyss was worried that Sting may have been too much of a coward to return and Abyss was only just starting to have some fun. Mitchell told Sting while Abyss and himself are and will continue to enjoy taking Sting apart slowly piece by piece before ending Sting’s career. Tonight they are out here to give Sting a choice, because while Abyss would love being known as the man who ended the legendary career of Sting he wouldn’t mind being known as the man that forced Sting to quit because Sting was scared for his well being! Mitchell brought up Sting returning next week and told Sting they want their answer next week or the torture continues, one way or the other when this is all done so is Sting’s career!
Ahead of tonight’s Main Event the announcers hyped TNA94 next wee which would see the return of Sting, the 12 team/24 man elimination tag team match Main Event, Petey Williams will be in action plus just announced a big match – Doug Williams will face CM Punk!
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V BOBBY ROODE… MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT AJ STYLES V BOBBY ROODE NOTE| AJ STYLES HAS A 72% WIN RATE WINNING 26 OF HIS 36 MATCHES – BOBBY ROODE HAS A 53% WIN RATE WINNING 9 OF HIS 17 MATCHES NOTE| AJ STYLES HOLDS TWO PREVIOUS VICTORIES OVER BOBBY ROODE Bobby Roode recorded a promo pre match warning AJ Styles not to take him lightly, AJ may have beaten Roode twice before and AJ may be a former TNA Champion but AJ is facing a different Bobby Roode tonight. Roode is on the rise and if AJ Styles takes his eye of him for a second Roode will end AJ because Bobby Roode is the most dangerous and calculated man in the business today and Bobby Roode will always get you in the end.
TNA Reporter, Scott Hudson spoke with AJ Styles ahead of his match with Bobby Roode. Hudson asked AJ with everything going on is AJ focused on Bobby Roode. AJ told Hudson that Bobby Roode is the only thing he is concentrating on because everything AJ wants to get his hands on CM Punk to get his revenge to regain his TNA title he can only get this if he wins, so Bobby Roode and winning is the only thing on his mind…
Bobby Roode and AJ Styles were about to be introduced for tonight’s Main Event when CM Punk’s music hit in the arena. Punk who is returning from suspension tonight due to his brawl with AJ Styles a few weeks back walked out on to the stage with a microphone in hand just moments before AJ Styles was scheduled to be in action. I’m back! Punk took a few shots at AJ Styles without mentioning AJ by name saying TNA has announced a real Main Event for next week pitting Punk against Doug Williams to make up for not having a worthy Main Event this week, Punk also said he is glad TNA management has finally seen sense and given Punk his rightful TNA title shot after the last champion hid from him and now at TNA98, CM Punk would finally become the TNA Champion! CM Punk reminded everyone that this is CM Punk’s world and everyone else is just living in it before leaving it was clear the main reason Punk was out here tonight was just to get inside AJ Styles’ head moments before tonight’s Main Event…
AJ and Roode had a really good match and Roode was right AJ faced a different Bobby Roode a much better Bobby Roode. Roode worked over AJ’s back which AJ is still claiming is not as injured as reports are making out. Eric Young came to ringside during the match only to be ordered away from the ring by the match official to the delight of the crowd. Roode scored a great near fall after he caught AJ coming off the top rope with a Spine buster but in the end AJ managed to beat Roode for a 3rd time after Roode nailed AJ with a top rope supflex but on landing AJ managed to use his feet to tie up/roll up Roode for the 3 count. A hard fought victory for the former TNA Champion tonight. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL
Bobby Roode was in shock, AJ shocked Roode with the roll up. Roode argued the fall with the match official as AJ recovered against the bottom rope. Announcers admitted Roode maybe hurting but they Roode showed a lot even in defeat. Bobby Roode is definitely on the rise here in TNA. Roode rolled out of the ring where he was joined by Eric Young in the aisle, Young was angrier than Roode about the decision but eventually Roode and Young were escorted back up the aisle.
AJ Styles had his hand raised in victory before pacing around the ring recovering from a tough match. TNA ringside reporter, Shawn Daivari entered the ring and asked AJ for any post match comments. AJ told Daivari that he was coming for CM Punk and when AJ gets his hands on Punk he is going to hurt him then AJ wants his TNA title back and he doesn’t care who he has to take it from! TNA93 went off the air with AJ Styles on the ropes telling the fans he was going to get his Championship back.

Since you posted three shows at once, I'm just going to throw a few comments out there. I'll be sure to give a full reply to your next show since you're caught up and all... I dig that Styles and Punk is continuing, but he still has focus on getting past that and gaining the TNA Championship. I like the build that Chris Harris is still getting, even if I am not the biggest fan of him... the only thing out of all of this I was a bit disappointed and surprised in was The Alpha Male Enterprise keeping the tag titles. I was really hoping they'd lose it to GREATNESS, but, it's just one thing and you've got a lot of things built up... looking forward to seeing what you have going forth.

In that time AME have made many enemies especially Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews), BG James & Ron Killings and more recently both GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London). Tonight in the biggest tag team match in TNA history the entire TNA Tag Team division is looking to prove they deserve the next shot at the TNA Tag Team Champions!
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay introduced the show from ringside and introduced his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash, the 3 announcers hyped tonight’s Main Event but also the rest of tonight’s card which would see a huge match from the TNA Singles Division, CM Punk who challenges for the TNA Championship at TNA98 will be in action tonight when he takes on Doug Williams who is on a 3 match winning streak and looking to get back in the TNA title picture himself. Plus ‘The Icon’ Sting will be here and we would hear from TNA Champion, Chris Harris and top contender, Christopher Daniels ahead of their TNA Championship match next week.

Ryan O’Reilly was in the ring for tonight’s opening match against Hernandez as the announcers discussed how O’Reilly was used to distract Sting a few weeks back allowing Abyss to attack as they were discussing the attack the lights went out in the arena, a spotlight dropped on the ring then Sting dropped from the rafters into the ring behind O’Reilly. O’Reilly petrified turned around to see Sting holding his baseball bat up to O’Reilly’s face. Sting nailed O’Reilly with a couple of shots with his baseball bat before following up with two Stinger splashes in the corner before one last baseball bat shot to the gut sent O’Reilly from the ring. Fans were on their feet for ‘The Icon’.
Sting demanded a microphone and screamed out Abyss’ name. Sting told Abyss and Jim Mitchell that he never backs down from a fight and Abyss is now in the fight of his life! Sting told Mitchell to look at what he just did to Mitchell’s pawn (Ryan O’Reilly) and imagine what he’s going to do to Abyss. Sting said there wouldn’t be any more games and is demanding TNA management make a match between him and Abyss as soon as possible. Sting finished up by telling Abyss if this is a case of an eye for an eye or a career for a career then Abyss is in trouble because Sting isn’t planning on going anywhere any time soon because Sting is having to much fun, but just for Abyss – Sting is willing to go to that dark place he doesn’t like to visit to often and kick Abyss’ ass! Don Callis claimed Sting has a death wish while Borash & Tenay praised Sting for standing up to Abyss and all 3 men can not wait for Abyss v Sting to finally take place.
Alpha Male Enterprise (TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown plus Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu & AME Security) were shown making their way to their locker room backstage. AME is a worldwide brand and according to Monty Brown will out live everyone. AME are here tonight to watch tonight’s Main Event.
Hernandez was now in the ring with a microphone in hand. Hernandez was scheduled to face Ryan O’Reilly in tonight’s opening match. Hernandez said he understands that the Stinger had to take care of business but Hernandez came here tonight looking for a fight and isn’t leaving without one so Hernandez has seen backstage there are some guys here dressed to compete who aren’t on the card tonight so Hernandez is issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back to face him right now…
MATCH 1| HERNANDEZ V KID KASH NOTE| HERNANDEZ HAS A 100% RECORD FROM HIS FIRST 6 MATCHES RESULT| HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL Kid Kash accepted Hernandez challenge looking to be the first man to beat the ‘Mexican Muscle Man’ but Hernandez is a special talent the size of a true heavyweight but deceptively fast also. Kash the veteran gave it a good go but in the end Kash felt victim to Hernandez Border Toss taking Hernandez to 7-0. Afterwards as Hernandez celebrated the announcers agreed it was time to test Hernandez with some stiffer competition.
TNA95| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS 12.02.03| TNA32| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V CHRIS HARRIS WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW Harris managed to lock Daniels in his Texas Cloverleaf in the closing seconds but Daniels made it to the bottom hold, following the bell Chris Harris’ was actually in tears as a result of failing to become the new TNA Champion.
Quick recorded promos aired with TNA Champion, Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels giving their thoughts on the match. Harris admitted to being heartbroken saying he believed he was seconds from making his dream come true only for Daniels to make it to the ropes and then having the time limit run out, Harris said it was hard to watch his dream be taken from him and being helpless to stop it. Daniels admitted that his first match with Harris was one of the greatest matches in TNA history and one of the hardest of his reign as Champion but Daniels learned in that match that Chris Harris does not have a killer instinct while Daniels does and it will be that killer instinct which will make Christopher Daniels a two time TNA Champion at TNA95.
MATCH 2| JOHNNY DEVINE V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE NOTE| PETEY WILLIAMS HAS A 100% RECORD FROM HIS FIRST 2 MATCHES RESULT| PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL Coach D’Amore joined the announcers at the broadcast table to hype his talent Petey Williams as Petey showcased his talents against another TNA Wrestling Academy student in Johnny Devine. Petey again looked impressive which the announcers acknowledge but when they questioned when Petey Williams would face someone other than a student from the TNA Wrestling Academy, D’Amore got defensive. Petey again put Devine away with his spectacular but dangerous Canadian Destroyer.
Following the match Coach D’Amore joined Petey Williams in the ring to celebrate Williams’ victory; D’Amore again demanded a number of replays be shown of the Canadian Destroyer as Petey posed again not showing any remorse as Devine was being checked over by match officials.
Backstage inside the locker room of one of the 12 man teams competing in tonight’s Main Event was shown (Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn, Bad Street Boys, BG James & Ron Killings, GREATNESS, Jason Cross & John Walters and Zero Gravity) the 6 tag teams were talking tactics but Jerry Lynn was caught in the background watching Petey Williams and Coach D’Amore and Lynn didn’t seem to happy with the actions of both men.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA93| MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES BEAT BOBBY ROODE… 02.06.04| TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS/CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V CM PUNK! Doug Williams earlier today spoke with TNA reporter, Scott Hudson about his match tonight against CM Punk. Williams told Hudson that over the last couple of months he seems to have lost a little momentum due to a couple of losses but more importantly due to injury but now Williams is fighting fit again proven by his 3 wins on the bounce and now it was time to remind everyone that Doug Williams is still the man who has beat greats like Jerry Lynn, Eddie Guerrero and former TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels, Williams is also the man who will become the first English TNA Champion and he will remind everyone tonight by beating CM Punk…
CM Punk was now standing by backstage with Scott Hudson himself just moments before his match against Doug Williams. Hudson started off the interview by asked Punk if he watched AJ Styles’ victory over Bobby Roode last week, Punk responded with a question of his own asking Hudson why he would have to watch AJ Styles. Punk told Hudson that AJ Styles is now at the back of his mind all Punk is focusing on is becoming the new TNA Champion. Punk said next week he would watching when Chris Harris defends the TNA title against Christopher Daniels but even then Punk doesn’t see the point because who ever wins next week is simply just keeping the TNA title warm for CM Punk! Punk repeated that his mission in life is to go down in history as the greatest professional wrestler of all time but to do that CM Punk has to become the TNA Champion. Punk finished by addressing AJ Styles again saying Punk’s perfect revenge over AJ would be to make sure AJ Styles never comes close to the TNA title again and once Punk becomes champion he has the power to do that just like AJ Styles did to him.
MATCH 3| DOUG WILLIAMS V CM PUNK STATS| DOUG WILLIAMS HAS A 64% WIN RATE FROM 25 MATCHES – CM PUNK HAS A 69% WIN RATE FROM 35 MATCHES RESULT| CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL Really good match where both men came out looking stronger than they did coming in, this match could have easily headlined any other TNA Pay per View and in the future Punk and Williams could meet again fighting over the TNA Championship. Match went close to the 20 minute time limit but in the end CM Punk scored the big victory and will take some huge momentum into his TNA title match at TNA98 after Williams wanted his Chaos Theory but Punk managed to get behind Williams and run Williams chest first into the turnbuckle before cracking Williams in the back of the head with a high knee and then spiking Williams’ with the Evenflow DDT.
CM Punk had his arm raised in victory and as the camera zoomed in on a smug file on Punk’s face the announcers discussed the irony of CM Punk costing AJ Styles his TNA title and now Punk is one match away from possibly becoming TNA Champion himself while AJ Styles has probably never been further away from the TNA title all thanks to CM Punk.
Doug Williams got a respectful ovation from the crowd as he left the ring tonight, Williams has nothing to be ashamed of in the defeat and on another night could have came away with the victory himself.
TNA95| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS 26.02.03| TNA34| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA REFEREE STOPPAGE Daniels locked a bloody Harris in his Koji clutch causing Harris to pass out to the pain and the match official to stop the match. Harris ended up laying face down in a puddle of his own blood after the match before being stretched out of the arena…
Again like earlier both Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels reflected on their match at TNA34 with quick comments. Daniels mentioned the killer instinct again, saying Daniels showed at TNA34 he had the killer instinct. Daniels’ left Chris Harris face down in a puddle of his own blood; Daniels would do it again next week to ensure that he leaves as the new TNA Champion. Chris Harris had trouble re watching and talking about the footage but admitted that his two previous matches against Christopher Daniels played a part in changing him and making him the man Harris’ is today but it’s also thanks to that night at TNA34 where Harris released how much he wanted to become the TNA Champion and how much Harris wanted to be regarded as the best so for that reason Chris Harris thanks Christopher Daniels for bringing the best out of him but next week, Chris Harris vows to make Christopher Daniels feet as helpless as Daniels made Harris feel at TNA34.
Mike Tenay had some breaking news; Tenay had just learned that next week at TNA95, Dusty Rhodes the onscreen representative of TNA management has revealed that he has a number of announcements to make and has teased that TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling will never be the same again.
MATCH 4| SONJAY DUTT V LANCE ARCHER W. HEROES FOR VILLAINS (BRENT ALBRIGHT, BRISCOE BROTHERS & CHRIS HERO) NOTE| LANCE ARCHER’S TNA WRESTLING IN RING DEBUT RESULT| LANCE ARCHER VIA PIN FALL Lance Archer towered over the game Sonjay Dutt but just like his Heroes for Villains brothers over the last few weeks Archer was dominant on his way to victory which came after Archer folded Dutt up with a running boot to the face. Heroes for Villains rolled into the ring after the bell and again Chris Hero had a microphone in hand…
Hero got in Lance Archer’s face with a smile on his face Hero was happy with Archer’s performance tonight. Hero reminded everyone that over the last few weeks he has introduced everyone to his new family, everyone has been introduced to Heroes for Villains. Hero said he will not say anymore on Lance Archer other than if people want to get at Chris Hero they will need to get through his shadow Lance Archer then everyone will see how dark and twisted Lance Archer can be. Hero told everyone now the introductions are over, what people standing before them are the most evil, disturbed, twisted, cold hearted men this business has ever seen, they make no apologises and they are intimidated by no man, no name, no reputation – they are Heroes for Villains, embrace the hate!
TNA95| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS TNA Champion, Chris Harris and challenger, Christopher Daniels made their final comments ahead of next weeks TNA title match. Christopher Daniels the first ever TNA Champion wanted everyone to listen to his words carefully, Christopher Daniels is God’s gift to the professional wrestling industry. No man is better than Daniels, he is the measuring stick. Daniels beat the entire roster to become the first TNA Champion, AJ Styles beat, Low Ki beat, Sting beat, CM Punk beat, James Storm beat… Chris Harris beat! Next week Christopher Daniels will not lose. Next week Christopher Daniels will make history again by becoming the first ever 2 time TNA Champion. Christopher Daniels is a man of his word like him or not and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.
Chris Harris repeated that his second match with Christopher Daniels plus his loss to Sting woke Chris Harris up and reminded Harris just how much he wants this and how close he was to losing everything. Harris works harder than everybody else because Harris wants this more than everybody else. Chris Harris wants to go down in history as one the greatest of all time in years to come when people talk about the greats like Ric Flair etc he wants his name right up there with them he wants Granddads to tell their Grandkids about him, about how great a World Champion, Chris Harris was but next week Harris has to retain his TNA title, next week against Christopher Daniels will be the making of him, next week all the remaining doubts that people have about him will erased all the negativity all the questioning of his character will be gone because next week Chris Harris will leave TNA95 still the TNA Champion.
Tenay, Borash & Callis shown on camera discussed next weeks TNA Championship match between Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels the two best in the business today meet for the right, the honour, the privilege to be the TNA Champion!
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| 24 MAN 12 TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN, BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS), BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS, GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG), JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS and ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU), BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG, BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS), BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE), NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS and THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)… Quick pre match comments from some of the teams in tonight’s Main Event which were recorded throughout the show aired moments before the Main Event. Bad Street Boys admitted they have not handled failing to become the TNA Tag Team champions twice very well but they are emotional guys but tonight they put it all behind them, dust themselves off, get back on the horse and step up once again. Jason Cross & John Walters can’t believe they are going to be apart of a TNA Main Event they also mentioned how even if they win tonight it would not show on their records because they the two TNA Wrestling Academy students are currently not signed to a main roster contract. Traci Brooks spoke on behalf of New Millennium telling everyone in the match that for months, years some of the teams have been fighting for an opportunity for a chance to compete for the TNA Tag Team titles and now they are going to have to sit back and watch helplessly as her men take the TNA Tag Team division into the new millennium. GREATNESS said there is an art to tag team wrestling, and you can’t just throw two people together hoping they will make a good team and TNA is full of great teams but none greater than Austin Aries & Roderick Strong but now they have more reason to want the TNA Tag Team titles and that is to stick it too AME., AME claim they will out live everyone but GREATNESS vowed to end AME once and for all…
MATCH 5| MAIN EVENT NO TIME LIMIT 24 MAN/12 TEAM ELIMINATION RULES TAG TEAM MATCH AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN, BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS), BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS, GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG), JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS and ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU), BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG, BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS), BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE), NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKI KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS and THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) Just as the match official was about to call for the bell TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) appeared on the big screen wearing their AME merchandise, drinking whiskey and surrounded by girls laughing before Brown spoke asking the teams in the ring if they knew how ridiculous they all looked because every watching knows that the winner/s of this match are only in line for another beat down from the biggest brand in the world because AME are unstoppable.
Rules for the match, No time limits, eliminations can occur via pin fall, submission/tap out, dq, count out or stoppage also when a wrestler has been eliminated his tag team is eliminated from the match.
Really good match which the fans enjoyed, the TNA Tag Team division was given the spotlight tonight and they did not disappoint…
1ST ELIMINATION| Bad Street Boys were the first team eliminated after Joey Matthews collided with Paul London who was standing on the crowded ring apron before Ekmo Fatu squashed Matthews with a Samoan drop for the fall. Bad Street Boys were not happy afterwards and exchanged words with Zero Gravity on the way out. 5-6
2ND ELIMINATION| Jason Cross & John Walters the TNA Wrestling academy students were the next eliminated again at the hands of AME and Ekmo Fatu, Ekmo again pinning Cross following a Samoan drop. 4-6
3RD ELIMINATION| The Naturals were the next time eliminated after Ron Killings pinned Chase Stevens following his Axe kick to reduce the deficit to one. 4-5
4TH ELIMINATION| BG James & Ron Killings were the next time to be eliminated at the hands of Bobby Roode who is wrestling in back to back Main Events and impressed last week in a losing effort to AJ Styles. Roode pinned James following a Spine buster after Eric Young had hit James from behind. 3-5
5TH ELIMINATION| Box Office were eliminated next after the first ever TNA Tag Team champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn teamed up to eliminate Johnny Curtis, Lynn dropped Curtis with a TKO and Red quickly followed up with a running Red Star press. 3-4
6TH ELIMINATION| Bobby Roode & Eric Young followed to even the score after Young got disqualified, Young clearly became frustrated at not being able to put away Jerry Lynn and after ignoring warnings in the corner and the referee’s 5 count the match official had no choice but to dq Eric Young. Bobby Roode as well as AME, Briscoe Brothers & New Millennium was furious afterwards as the match was even once again. Young tried apologising to Bobby Roode as they made their way back up the aisle but after Roode walked off from Young, Young threw a fit kicking the ringside railings and let out a huge scream in frustration after letting down Bobby Roode, the announcers were quick to mention the hold Bobby Roode seems to have over the unstable Eric Young. 3-3
7TH ELIMINATION| Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn were eliminated next by New Millennium a huge pin fall for the new team New Millennium who pinned the first ever TNA Tag Team champions after Kazarian tossed Red over his shoulders into place for a Super kick from Michael Shane. 2-3
8TH ELIMINATION| New Millennium were the next team eliminated and again like their defeat last week it was due to the interference of Michael Shane’s former girl friend Alexis Laree, Laree managed to get on to the ring apron which distracted Shane long enough for Austin Aries to spike Shane with a brain buster for the elimination. Laree was dragged away from ringside screaming by officials as a frustrated Frankie Kazarian was ordering Shane to sort Laree out. 2-2
Match came down to GREATNESS & Zero Gravity against Alpha Male Enterprise & Briscoe Brothers. Fans were right behind GREATNESS & Zero Gravity both teams are really catching on with the TNA faithful and while the entire match was entertaining the last few minutes with these four teams may have been the highlight. GREATNESS finally put their side in the lead for the first time in the match after Aries spiked Mark Briscoe with a brain buster leaving AME alone against the two teams AME members Elix Skipper & Monty Brown recently screwed over.
Ekmo Fatu is a monster and will day very soon will be working his way up the rankings here in tonight, Fatu dominated this match whenever he was in and despite being at the disadvantage here he still controlled the match and Antonio Banks was no slouch either showing why Antonio Banks calls Banks the MVP of AME but GREATNESS & Zero Gravity managed to work together to take Banks out of the match as Fatu had Sydal up for another Samoan drop but Aries saved Sydal, rocking Fatu with a running roaring elbow which took Fatu into the corner, Aries followed up with a running drop kick in the corner which dropped Fatu to a knee, Strong floored Fatu with a running kick, Zero Gravity then joined in on the act Sydal catching Fatu with his Shooting Star press before Paul London finished the job with a 450 splash! RESULT| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN, BAD STREET BOYS, BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS, GREATNESS, JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS and ZERO GRAVITY VIA PIN FALL (GREATNESS & ZERO GRAVITY WERE THE REMAINING TEAMS)
Matt Sydal & Paul London (Zero Gravity) celebrated together as Austin Aries & Roderick Strong celebrated together (GREATNESS). Both teams celebrating their victory tonight but they have also sent a message to the reigning TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown by taking out Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu.
After having their hands raised in victory GREATNESS & Zero Gravity stopped celebrating and got in one another’s face before telling the other team that they would be the next TNA Tag Team Champions. TNA94 went off the air with the announcers reminding everyone that next week Dusty Rhodes is planning a number of huge announcements plus Chris Harris defends the TNA Championship against the first ever TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels and as GREATNESS & Zero Gravity continued to be in one another’s faces.

You would be right in that I've been critical of diaries being booked in the same way. Same pushes, same characters, same feuds, over and over again. This is actually a breath of fresh air. Firstly it helps you're booking something other than WWE (which is rare in itself) as it's outside their comfort zone, however I know TNA is your forte. When people get to a certain point in their diary and they're forced to go off on their own tangents they always seem to lean towards the same people using the same gimmicks with little to no imagination put in to what they're doing. Small things here like pairing Primetime and Monty with the AME name is interesting and different and creative. Keeping Aries and Strong together and giving them the name GREATNESS and a gimmick is interesting and different and creative. Teaming Sydal and London.. you get the point. These small details go a long, long way. I don't want to see Mr. Kennedy and Cody Rhodes win the WWE Championship 7000 times and have no character, or see every second generation star grouped together and given a stereotypical "Dynasty", "Legacy", "I Once Occupied Ted DiBiase's Ballbag" name and gimmick with no personality. I don't want to see reality mirrored in a diary as soon as it happens on TV. "Alberto Del Rio has debuted, I need to throw him into my diary with no direction." I want to see MVP introduced before his prime with a new name, a new character, with a new direction. Interesting, different, creative. Kudos, Snick.
Your focus here is on the right people at the right time. Styles, Daniels, Punk, Harris, Storm, Abyss, AME. It's nice to see you building the company around these guys as opposed to the likes of Jarrett, Luger, Waltman, etc. that were around back then. I hope Punk goes on to beat Harris or Daniels for the belt as he could be the face of your company going forward (obviously), but I suspect he will be locked in the feud with AJ for the time being. Or perhaps you'll go the Fatal 4-Way route? Either way I'm intrigued to see how that pans out. GREATNESS vs. ZG should be fun - would love to see Aries and Strong as your dominant tag team. I think it'd be hard for them to knock off AME. There's something about Abyss and Sting that meshes so well, in my opinion. I'm glad you have them together as it should make for a decent feud. It also opens up the opportunity to break out some special stipulation matches to progress the feud, which you'll need here to balance out your cards alongside more solid "wrestling" matches like Punk/AJ and GREATNESS/ZG.
I also love the idea of your layout with the inclusion of the stats. I don't think it's pulled off to it's 100% best as it can appear a little "cluttered" and hard to read at times. It adds another depth to your write-ups and is very reminiscent of the direction TNA were going in at the time, more "sports oriented" ahead of the FOX deal.
Keep it up, dude.

Howdy! First off, I do like that you give a quick run-down of the champs and your opening paragraph gave a good background of what's in store. It helps a dude like me who hasn't kept up as much (I stalked this bad boy a while back) get acclimated to what I have to expect. I enjoy the prospect of Abyss vs. Sting, and the way you build it here gives off a good feel of anticipation for the match. I personally hate Hernandez, but there was a point where I dug the dude in TNA, and he did what was necessary here to get him over. Hopefully soon he'll battle some more intense competition. I like the interviews with Chris Harris + Chris Daniels heading into next week's TNA Title bout: it adds suspense and anticipation to their ultimate confrontation. Oh, Petey Williams also has a budding undefeated streak too? Smart move keeping his ball rolling; as with Hernandez I anticipate a slow ween from lesser competition into the ranks of TNA's better opponents for him, which could lead to exciting and intriguing match-ups. CM Punk beating Doug Williams is good, especially since it seems he had his TNA Title shot set before the match. Makes him look strong going in without totally destroying Doug Williams' momentum. Also, I'm interested in your winning percentages that you give before each match. I like Sonjay Dutt but Lance Archer beating him in his debut was needed. I dig the Heroes for Villains stable as well as Archer's inclusion in it. Looking forward to what they'll be doing from here on out. It's magnificent that you build up the World Title match that much throughout the show. The main event looks like insanity on paper but your writing style complements it well in that it's easy to follow who's wrestling, what's going on, etc. The collective face forces winning was nice, and both teams look really good in dethroning AME. Overall I'm certainly following; the show was easy to follow, the matches were fun and I'm certainly looking forward to Harris/Daniels.

TNA94. We're getting close to the big TNA100 stage, aren't we? Sting starting the show off was sweet, I love how he is a veteran promoting up the young talent to this point and not as a TNA Champion type guy and how you've built that title up with the younger dudes instead, by the way. His feud with Abyss should come to an end soon and I hope it pays off. Hernandez beating Kid Kash was obviously for the best as he is the fresh face on a roll. I liked how he had an open challenge after O'Reilly was out of commission. Petey Williams with another win, this time over Johnny Devine, was good. I like it. Doug Williams thinks he is going to beat CM Punk, eh? We'll see about that one... Punk is pretty determined. I like how he is pushed himself up while pushing Styles down and a good victory over Williams. Harris reminding everyone of sixty events ago was sweet in his promo. Lance Archer making his debut by beating Sonjay Dutt was fine, seems like we've had a lot of jobber type matches tonight. Let's advance on to the main event with a huge 24-man, 12 team elimination rules match. Holy moly guacomoly this is a lot! I love how the tag team division is so big and how it has been built strong. Two of the better teams, Zero Gravity and GREATNESS being the final two was sweet and as I've said prior, I'd like to see a team like GREATNESS get the belts next.

TNA95 Wednesday 12th May
CHAMPIONS TNA Champion| Chris Harris (1) – beat AJ Styles| 07.01.04 TNA Tag Team Champions| Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) (1) – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn| 16.04.03
LOCATION| Nashville, Tennessee ANNOUNCERS| Don Callis, Jeremy Borash & Mike Tenay
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
TNA95 opened at ringside as Mike Tenay welcomed everyone to the latest TNA Pay per View before introducing his broadcast partners Jeremy Borash & Don Callis. Tonight TNA managements onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes will make a number of big announcements and also the TNA Championship will be on the line when current champion, Chris Harris defends against the first ever TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels! Tenay then revealed that the TNA title match will kick off the show! Daniels issues the challenge earlier in the week and Harris accepted!
TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! Footage was shown from early this afternoon TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown arriving at the arena. Tenay noted that Harris was actually the first to arrive at the arena today. Later in the day Christopher Daniels was shown arriving at the arena ahead of their TNA title match tonight…
Announcers at ringside spoke about the records of both Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels and noted if you didn’t include wrestlers who haven’t competed in 10 matches yet or are out injured then Chris Harris sits at the top of the pile with an 82% win rate from 39 matches and Christopher Daniels is in second place with a 80% win rate from 30 matches. In the two previous meetings between Daniels and Harris the first went to a time limit draw and the second Daniels won via referee stoppage…
Time Limits| 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
MATCH 1| MAIN EVENT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Pre match comments aired from challenger, Christopher Daniels and champion, Chris Harris before the match began. Daniels told Chris Harris he can wait no longer to once again get his hands on his TNA title and that’s why Daniels has challenged Harris to have their match at the start of the show. Daniels wants to repeat that anyone who believes that Daniels does not leave tonight as the TNA Champion will be proven wrong and people should have learned that the ‘Fallen Angel’ is a man of his word. Tonight God’s gift to professional wrestling makes history once again and becomes a 2 time TNA Champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.
Chris Harris with the TNA title over his shoulder said tonight will turn out to be a milestone night during his reign as TNA Champion, in years to come when people look back over Harris reign as TNA Champion they will look back at this night as the night Chris Harris overcame his toughest mental challenge the night Harris beat the man who left him bloody and unconscious. Harris thanked Daniels for that night because it helped make Harris the man he is today the most hardworking, driven man in the entire wrestling industry. Harris admits he wants to be the best but to be the best he has to beat Christopher Daniels tonight.
Whoever leaves here tonight as the TNA Champion would defend the TNA title against CM Punk in 3 weeks at TNA98!
Harris and Daniels like their first two matches had a great match, two of the best in the business going at it for the right, honour and privilege to be the TNA Champion. Fans were split some behind Harris while others were actually behind Daniels which is surprising given his attack of hometown boy James Storm. Announcers believe that some fans just don’t want to see Chris Harris as TNA Champion.
Match started slow and the announcers were worried that Harris was reverting to the tactics he used against AJ Styles where Harris used the time limit, the ring and the championship advantage rule to his advantage but apart from the early portion of the match that didn’t seem to be the case with Harris eager to put his defeat to Daniels previously behind him. Harris scored the first near fall following a Spear and later in the match a great near fall when Harris caught Daniels with a second Spear as Daniels came off the turnbuckle.
Later in the match Harris missed a third Spear hitting the turnbuckle and Daniels quickly took advantage by taking Harris down and locking Harris in his Koji clutch the same move Daniels beat Harris with last time out but on this occasion Harris managed to get to the ropes. Daniels took control of the match from here and came close on a couple of occasions especially after his Best Moonsault Ever while Harris was desperate to try and trap Daniels in his Texas Cloverleaf. Harris eventually got Daniels down and was looking for his cloverleaf when Daniels managed to rock Harris with an up kick right on the jaw which knocked Harris silly you could see Harris’ legs go from underneath him and Daniels quickly locked Harris in the Koji clutch for a second time, fans were on their feet expecting a title change, the match official seem concerned for Harris’ well being but unbelievably Harris slowly managed to crawl over and grab the bottom the rope. Harris was out of it and the clock was counting down as shown on the big screen during every match here in TNA. Daniels was desperate but smelling blood Daniels hooked the lifeless Harris for his Angel Wings but Harris duck deep and countered with a back drop. 20 seconds left in the match as Harris looked at the screen from his knees. Tenay asked whether Harris was going to look to win the match or play it safe. Daniels was getting back to his feet as we were just under 10 seconds remaining when Harris rolled out of the ring! Daniels turned around in the ring and didn’t know where Harris until it was too late Daniels ran across the ring as the time limit expired. RESULT| 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW
Christopher Daniels kicked the ropes in frustration and went to go out after Chris Harris who was on his knees at ringside but was stopped by the match official. Daniels was demanding more time but the match was over. Daniels was furious as Harris caught his breath at ringside.
Announcers debated between themselves about Chris Harris’ actions taking the easy way out and taking the time limit draw when he possibly could have been one move away from winning the match. Callis said it was smart, while Borash said he would have liked to have seen Harris take the brave decision while Tenay wondered whether Harris was playing it safe due to being rocked by Daniels’ up kick.
Chris Harris was handed his TNA title at ringside by the match official as Christopher Daniels continued to pace around the ring. Harris did appear to be a little hurt; Harris never celebrated his victory and asked for assistance in getting back to his feet. Chris Harris was helped back up the aisle by paramedics and officials while the announcers wondered about the condition of Chris Harris and potentially the next scheduled TNA title match against CM Punk in 3 weeks.
Christopher Daniels was still in the ring fuming about the outcome. Daniels screamed at TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari to get him a microphone, Daivari obliged. Daniels claimed he was just screwed out of his TNA title. Daniels is demanding 5 more minutes and called Chris Harris a coward and a paper champion! TNA officials and security made their way into the ring and asked Daniels to leave but Daniels refused telling them he wasn’t going anywhere. Daniels and the officials continued to argue when James Storm music hit in the arena!
James Storm the man Christopher Daniels injured and cost a shot at the TNA title made his way into the ring and now Daniels was using the officials who he was just arguing with as protection ordering them to keep James Storm from him. Storm had a microphone in hand and a huge smile on his face. Storm told Daniels there was nothing he wants more than to kick Daniels ass but he was in no rush because Storm has already got what he wants, later tonight Dusty Rhodes is going to make a number of announcements and one them announcements was due to be that James Storm has been cleared to return to the ring and his first match back will take place in 2 weeks at TNA97 against Christopher Daniels and if Storm wins he will be back in line for a shot at the TNA Championship!! Daniels was shocked and angry, shouting at Storm before leaving the ring. ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ is back and stood in the middle of the ring with a smile on his face watching as Daniels was throwing a fit as he made his way back up the aisle because James Storm now knows at TNA97 he gets everything he wants his chance at revenge plus potentially a future shot at the TNA Championship!
TNA97| MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! Announcers on camera at ringside recapped everything which has happened so far tonight, Chris Harris has retained his TNA title after wrestling Christopher Daniels to a time limit draw. James Storm has been medically cleared to return and will now face the man who injured him Christopher Daniels in two weeks at TNA97 and if Storm wins he will be in line for a shot at the TNA Championship!
MATCH 2| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH DUSTIN RHODES, KEN PHOENIX & SONJAY DUTT V BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) & KID KASH RESULT| BOX OFFICE & KID KASH VIA PIN FALL Before the match a video aired looking at the TNA Wrestling Academy students who have been performing on the live TNA Pay per Views as of late including Caprice Coleman, Ken Phoenix, Ray Gordy and Ryan O’Reilly among others before the video ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words announcement tonight.
Random 6 man tag team match between 6 men who find themselves in the same position all trying to prove themselves to TNA management, it was a fun quick match which saw Box Office double team Phoenix, Curtis nailed Phoenix with a top rope leg drop while he was over Eckos’ knee. Following the match Box Office celebrated their victory, the win also gave Kash an overdue victory also but it was clear Kash wasn’t a fan of the antics of Curtis & Eckos.
Following the match Ken Phoenix couldn’t apologise enough to Sonjay Dutt and the frustrated Dustin Rhodes who is trying to prove he deserves his spot on the TNA roster, both men accepted Phoenix’s apology. Announcers noted that Phoenix has the look and the tools to be a major player down the road but Don Callis believes Phoenix is too nice for his own good and nice guys finish last.
Video package aired looking back at last weeks Main Event which saw the TNA Tag Team Division compete in a 24 man, 12 team Elimination match where GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) came out victorious, video again ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words announcement tonight.
MATCH 3| CAPRICE COLEMAN V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU NOTE| NEXT WEEK| TNA96| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS! RESULT| ANTONIO BANKS VIA PIN FALL Announcers raved at ringside about the performance of Ekmo Fatu during last weeks Main Event, saying that Fatu was the stand out performer in the match eliminating 2 teams, they also reminded viewers that Fatu won the 2003 Xmas Bonus Tournament. Announcers debated whether Ekmo Fatu was the true MVP of AME and not Antonio Banks like Monty Brown likes to claim. Tonight Banks looked good on his way to victory over Caprice Coleman before beating Coleman with an Exploder supflex.
Alpha Male Enterprise claimed to be the biggest brand in the world but what is fact is that every tag team in TNA are desperate to be the team to finally end the year plus reign of the current TNA Tag Team Champions!
Video package aired looking at the rivalry between ‘The Icon’ Sting and ‘The Monster’ Abyss including Abyss via Jim Mitchell claim that 2004 would be the last year of Sting’s career, Abyss attack Sting with Sting’s own baseball bat and last week Sting attacking Ryan O’Reilly before telling Abyss he was coming for him. Video like all videos tonight ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words announcement tonight.
MATCH 4| RAVEN V NORMAN SMILEY HIGHLIGHTS| TNA92| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS BEAT RAVEN VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP! RESULT| RAVEN VIA PIN FALL Announcers noted that no one has heard or spoke with Raven since Raven failed to become the TNA Champion at TNA92 due in some people’s opinion to a slight distraction by Norman Smiley. Also earlier today Raven refused to answer any questions…
Raven was intent on hurting the head teacher of the TNA Wrestling Academy, Norman Smiley. Smiley’s agreed to come out of retirement tonight to face Raven but Smiley would live to regret the decision because Raven mauled Smiley before pinning Smiley after his Even flow DDT. Raven took his frustration and anger of not achieving his destiny of becoming the TNA Champion out on Norman Smiley tonight. Following the bell Raven sat emotionless in the corner while paramedics checked on Smiley.
Raven was still sat in the corner when the ring music for Heroes for Villains hit in the arena. Raven didn’t move continued to sit in the corner as Chris Hero led Brent Albright, Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark) and Lance Archer into the ring. Once in the ring Hero turned to Raven and slowly started to approach Raven with a smile on his face before stopping and just staring down at Raven who still hadn’t even looked at Chris Hero. Rest of H4V came and stood behind Hero and the 5 men stared down at Raven for a few seconds before Raven calmly slid out of the ring and made his way back up the aisle, not once did Raven even look at any members of Heroes for Villains. Chris Hero had a sly smirk on his face as he watched Raven leave.
MATCH 5| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) W. HEROES FOR VILLAINS NOTE| 3 PREVIOUS MEETINGS BETWEEN THE TEAMS BAD STREET BOYS HAVE WON 2 WHILE BRISCOE BROTHERS WON THE OTHER RESULT| BRISCOE BROTHERS VIA PIN FALL Bad Street Boys bad fortune continues, since failing to become the new TNA Tag Team champions – Bad Street Boys have only won one match and last week were actually the first team eliminated from the 24 team Elimination match after colliding with Zero Gravity on the ring apron, a big fall from grace for Matthews’ and York.
BSB & Briscoe’s had a very good hard hitting match, the teenage Briscoe’s have a much more hard hitting style since joining up with Chris Hero and Heroes for Villains. Bad Street Boys bad fortune continued as Lance Archer took out Christian York at ringside with a big boot leaving Matthews alone and he didn’t last too long after the Briscoe’s put him away following their Springboard Doomsday Device.
Video package aired looking at the great moments throughout TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling’s near two year history before the video ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words announcement tonight.
Announcers shown on camera announced that a huge Main Event has been signed for next week TNA96 will be headlined by former TNA Champion, AJ Styles taking on the first Next Step tournament winner, Chris Sabin! Both men looking to get back into the TNA title picture as fast as possible. Also next week Shawn Daivari has been tasked to speak with everyone involved in tonight’s TNA title match James Storm, Christopher Daniels and TNA Champion, Chris Harris to get their reactions.
MATCH 6| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN V THE NATURALS (A NDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) NOTE| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN ARE THE FIRST EVER TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, CURRENTLY HAVE A 63% WIN RATE FROM 19 MATCHES RESULT| AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL Video package aired just before the match started showcasing the talents of Chris Sabin, Amazing Red, Jerry Lynn, Frankie Kazarian, Michael Shane, Petey Williams, Hernandez, Doug Williams and Bobby Roode among others before the video again ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words announcement tonight.
It was mentioned during the match that earlier in the week Jerry Lynn was asked for his opinion on Petey Williams’ Canadian Destroyer pile driver and Lynn was not very complimentary calling the move reckless and dangerous, Lynn also noted he was not a fan of the attitude and actions of both Williams and his Coach D’Amore.
Last match of the evening was a quick fast paced affair which saw Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn look impressive on their way to victory bouncing back after being beat by the new team of New Millennium (Frankie Kazarian & Michael Shane) last week. Red pinned Douglas tonight following his Code Red. Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn are just a number of teams looking to be the team to beat AME for the TNA Tag Team titles.
Earlier tonight Chris Harris retained his TNA title after wrestling Christopher Daniels to a time limit draw and will now defend the TNA title at TNA98 against CM Punk! Afterwards James Storm returned and confronted Christopher Daniels telling Daniels that he has been medically cleared to compete also that they would meet in 2 weeks at TNA97 and if Storm beats Daniels he will be in line for a shot at the TNA Championship!
TNA97| MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK! Video package aired looking at the history between AJ Styles and CM Punk which began after AJ successfully retained his TNA title against CM Punk. Punk would then go on and cost AJ the TNA title and both men would be suspended after their scheduled match turned out into an all out brawl which some both end up suspended after they struck TNA officials. CM Punk has since been made a top contender to the TNA title and has vowed to make sure AJ Styles never gets another shot at the TNA Championship like how in Punk’s mind AJ did to Punk following their first match. Video ended with a graphic showing Dusty Rhodes and the words saying Next…
NEXT| DUSTY RHODES…
Dusty Rhodes the onscreen representative of TNA management made his way out to a huge ovation from the fans in attendance, the ‘American Dream’ requested for a microphone as Dusty went around the arena. Rhodes told the fans he had a lot to get through tonight so he told the fans to keep up but if they don’t they need to go to tnawrestling.com following the show tonight and catch up on everything Rhodes’ is about to announce.
Rhodes wanted to start of with the biggest news and that was TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling has signed its first T.V deal and from Friday 4th June, 2004 you can watch TNA iMPACT on Fox Sports!! Rhodes said it was big news for TNA showing that TNA continues to grow and will now shown twice a week with the weekly Pay per Views continuing every Wednesday for the time being and iMPACT every Friday coming live from Universal studios in Orlando, Florida.
Rhodes again mentioned the growth of TNA and mentioned how the roster is growing also and there is a lot more competition so TNA management have decided to introduce a third TNA Championship the TNA T.V title and starting next week a 16 man tournament will start to crown the first ever TNA T.V Champion!

Rhodes also mentioned this is only the beginning and TNA will continue to grow and there would be more announcements but tonight Rhodes only had one more and that is that Dusty Rhodes has decided to step down from his role as the onscreen representative of TNA management. Rhodes said it has been an honour to watch as TNA grew into this respected wrestling company. Rhodes praised the talent backstage saying it was one of the strongest rosters he has ever worked with and in the hands of AJ Styles, Chris Harris, Christopher Daniels, GREATNESS, Sting and many, many others TNA is in safe hands but Rhodes’ time is up.
A huge ‘Thank You, Dusty’ chant broke out in the arena which brought a smile to the face and a tear to the eye of Dusty Rhodes, Rhodes waved at the crowd before finishing by telling them that he would be watching and he would see everyone in the next town!
TNA Roster made their way down the aisle and split into applauding Dusty Rhodes, every member of the TNA roster was out applauding and thanking Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes made his way up the aisle stopping to shake hands with some of the men and women on the way up and a long hug with his boy Dustin Rhodes. TNA95 went off the air with Dusty Rhodes tipping his cow boy hat to the audience as the TNA Roster and fans stood as one applauding the ‘American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes!

Bold choice with the TNA Title match going on first but given the history between the two (and the way you built it up in TNA94) it's a pretty cool decision. The finish was played perfectly as both men come out looking strong in differing ways while continuing their rivalry. Storm vs. Daniels should be a good one and I'd like to see the winner get their hands on Chris Harris somewhere down the line. I'm a fan of the six-man action and I like the trio that won. Antonio Banks winning match3 was expected and makes AME look good heading into next week's PPV. Interesting that the commentators hint at dissension between Banks and Ekmo Fatu. Raven winning was cool and the post-match interaction between him + Heroes for Villains was intriguing. Looking forward to seeing more between them. Cool seeing the Briscoes even up their all-time series with Bad Street Boys in a fun-to-read match. The last match was solid. Dusty's announcements were HUGE wow. The TV deal was smart and it means more to this diary yay! The TV Title should be fun; I'm a sucker for more titles so I can't wait to follow that. Glad we're going to see Sting get his hands on Abyss but I'm hoping it won't be the only encounter between the two going forward.The best of 5 series should be off the charts. Styles/Punk will be crazy; I don't expect Punk to be champion going in considering you have a solid feud there with Harris/Storm/Daniels but it'll be fun to read. Overall a really fun show and I'm looking forward to the evolution of TNA going forward.

Interesting choice here with TNA95's start being for the TNA Championship. Chris Harris taking the easy way out adds to his slow burn seeming turn which I still dig. It is an odd, but interesting, situation. James Storm and Christopher Daniels having their shizzle continues is fun, I'm wondering if they'll get incorporated back in to a TNA Championship match down the line together. Next, we have probably the right team out of the six man tag of Box Office and Kid Kash winning. They're just more established, so I'd lean towards them. Nice triple threat to follow with Antonio Banks getting the win. Which, again, I'd prefer to see out of the trio. Raven squash over Norman Smiley. Interesting that Heroes for Villains made Raven leave... I'm curious as to what is coming of this. The Briscoe Brothers beating The Bad Streets Boys was rather expected with The BSB not doing so well recently. Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn beating The Naturals, nothing major to me. I like that they're still a bit of a dominant team as the first ever TNA Tag Team Champions, I'm sure The Naturals will come in to their own eventually. Finally, Dusty Rhodes makes a big announcement of TNA iMPACT coming, being on Fox Sports. Exciting stuff, wondering if you make things different than they are now. Some fantastic matches announced for upcoming events with Sting vs Abyss, Styles vs Punk in a Steel Cage, etc. While this is eleven years before Dusty's death, I know you said you wanted to do some form of tribute to him and doing something like this works from a writing and outside of writing standpoint. Really looking forward to the big events coming up and the beginning of iMPACT.

TNA95 time. Very interesting way to kick things off with the title match first. A fun read. Great write up. Tag match was also a decent read. I haven't followed this diary all that much, so I don't know who certain guys like Ken Phoenix (Kenny Dykstra?) and Robby Eckos are, so excuse that. A fine win for Banks. Raven beats the Big Wiggle. sad to see ole norm buried. Another fun tag match. I dig that you use the Bad Street Boys. Great main event. Kind of bummed that Douglas and Stevens lost, but Lynn and Red are a great choice for first champs. Very excited to see the direction you plan on going in from here.
