Time Limits| 20 Minutes 30 Minutes (Title matches or Main Events)
MATCH 1| NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS V JASON CROSS & JOHN WALTERS New Millennium had a good showing in the 24 team elimination match at TNA94 including eliminating the first ever TNA Tag Team Champion, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn before Alexis Laree distracted Shane her former boyfriend causing them to be eliminated. Kazarian & Shane scored the first official victory tonight after Kazarian pinned Cross following his Wave of the Future. RESULT| NEW MILLENNIUM VIA PIN FALL
Following the match Alexis Laree confronted Traci Brooks at ringside screaming at Brooks for stealing her man, Brooks backed of from the crazed Laree until Kazarian grabbed Laree by the hair from behind before rolling her into the ring. Laree cowered away in the corner as Shane told Kazarian to calm down, Kazarian told Shane to take care of this before he does so after thinking it over for a few seconds Shane told Kazarian to hold Laree on her knees!
Kazarian held a crying Laree down on her knees as officials made their way into the ring. Shane leaned down into his former girlfriends face and shouted that they were through, done, over and if she ever gets involved in their business again Shane will not be held responsible for what he does, Kazarian pushed Laree down to the mat as Traci Brooks called Alexis Laree a skank. Alexis Laree curled in a ball sobbing her heart out as officials tried to get Alexis Laree to leave the ring…
MATCH 2| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND CAPRICE COLEMAN V KEN PHONEIX Ken Phoenix was out first and when Phoenix came out Alexis Laree was still in the ring being attended to by officials. Phoenix being the good guy that he is approached Laree trying to help her but Laree jumped to her feet and dove on Phoenix laying into the rookie with a number of shots before officials pulled Alexis Laree off kicking and screaming. Ken Phoenix was left in shock…
8 entrants in the tournament – Caprice Coleman, Cliff Compton, Ken Phoenix, Jason Cross, Johnny Devine, John Walters, Ray Gordy and Ryan O’Reilly.
Coleman and Phoenix had a nice little wrestling match which got the fans involved, both men looking to earn a spot on the full time TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Phoenix night got a little better after picking the victory to advance to the Semi Finals after Phoenix rolled through a top rope cross body from Coleman and managing to hold Coleman down for the 3 count. Following the match Phoenix and Coleman shook hands. Ken Phoenix is now two matches away from earning a full time TNA Wrestling contract. RESULT| KEN PHOENIX VIA PIN FALL
TONIGHT| JERRY LYNN V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL!
TNA95| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS WENT TO A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW…
Announcers at ringside spoke about how Chris Harris took the easy way out last week allowing the clock to run down to guarantee he remained the TNA Champion. Following the bell Christopher Daniels complained about the decision before the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm return to announce he had been medically cleared by doctors and that at TNA97 he would get to face Christopher Daniels and if Storm wins he will be back in line for a shot at the TNA Championship!
Shawn Daivari standing on the interview podium next to the entrance stage introduced his guest the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm! Storm met Daivari on the stage wearing jeans, a cowboy tee and cowboy hat. Daivari welcomed Storm back and asked Storm for an update on his condition. Storm told Daivari all that matters is that the doctors have looked over his left shoulder and they have cleared Storm to return to the ring so no more hunting, fishing and drinking it’s time to get back to business. Storm said it is no secret that Storm dreams of being the TNA Champion but before Storm gets to that Storm has to get his revenge on Christopher Daniels because Daniels tried to take everything from Storm so Daniels could jump the queue and get his shot first. Storm did well last week not to kick Daniels’ teeth down his throat because even thinking about Daniels fills Storm with rage but Storm knew that he was getting everything he wants at TNA97! TNA97; Storm gets his revenge and earns another shot at the TNA Championship and Storm doesn’t care if Chris Harris is champion or whether its CM Punk or AJ Styles because when Storm gets his shot, James Storm is becoming the TNA Champion! Later tonight we would hear from Christopher Daniels and then TNA Champion, Chris Harris.
TNA97| MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
AJ Styles and Chris Sabin were shown separately getting ready for tonight’s Main Event. Both men have something to gain from tonight’s Main Event. AJ Styles needs to keep winning if he stands any chance of earning another shot at the TNA title especially if CM Punk wins the title at TNA98 while Chris Sabin will score the biggest victory of his career with a win over AJ Styles and should be in line for another shot at the TNA Championship.
MATCH 3| JERRY LYNN V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL NOTE| 09.06.04| TNA99| MAIN EVENT| STING V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL! NOTE| ABYSS HAS NEVER BEEN PINNED IN 23 MATCHES, ONLY DEFEAT IN SINGLES COMPETITION HAS COME AGAINST LOW KI – ABYSS HAS A 78% WIN RATE Jerry Lynn the former World Champion and one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team champions looked to be the first man to pin Abyss and Lynn gave it a good go using his experience and speed to trouble ‘The Monster’, Lynn targeted Abyss’ leg but Abyss who has victories over the likes of AJ Styles, CM Punk and James Storm while Abyss also injured both Sabu and former TNA Champion, Low Ki was too much for Lynn tonight and Abyss picked up the victory after dropping Lynn with a choke slam before pinning Lynn following his Black Hole Slam. RESULT| ABYSS VIA PIN FALL
Jim Mitchell joined Abyss in the ring after the match with a microphone in hand. Mitchell told Sting that he made the biggest mistake of his career by not walking away when given the opportunity! Mitchell wants Sting to remember when this is all over and Sting is sitting in a hospital explaining to his kids why his career is over that Sting asked TNA management for this and now at TNA99, Sting’s legendary career will come to an end. Mitchell vowed that Abyss would torture Sting before finally putting Sting out of his misery once and for all. Mitchell brought up Sabu, Terry Funk and Low Ki and told Sting he would be next, the end is near!
Video package aired looking at the announcement by Dusty Rhodes that TNA would be introducing a new championship the TNA T.V Championship and a 16 man tournament would be held to crown the first TNA T.V Champion. The 16 entrants were then revealed Antonio Banks, Amazing Red, Bobby Roode, Chris Sabin, Doug Williams, Dustin Rhodes, Ekmo Fatu, Eric Young, Frankie Kazarian, Hernandez, Jerry Lynn, Kid Kash, Michael Shane, Petey Williams, Ron Killings and Sonjay Dutt.
MATCH 4| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND DUSTIN RHODES V BOBBY ROODE Recorded comments aired from both Dustin Rhodes and Bobby Roode before their first round match. Rhodes said with his Father now gone it’s time for him to look after himself his spot is no longer protected and Rhodes needs to earn his right on the TNA roster and the best way to do that is by making history by becoming the first ever TNA T.V Champion. Bobby Roode who was with Eric Young began talking about how the TNA T.V title tournament has come around at the right time when Eric Young cut Roode off to apologise for causing them to get eliminated from the elimination match a couple of weeks ago, Young promised to make it up to Roode. Roode told Young no one will be able to stop him from becoming the first TNA T.V Champion because he is the most calculated and dangerous man in the business today and Bobby Roode always gets what he wants sooner rather than later.
Eric Young was ordered away from ringside by the match official before the match got started. Rhodes and Roode had a good match. Fans are backing Rhodes while Bobby Roode is a star on the rise in TNA and one to keep an eye on. Rhodes came close after a running bulldog but in the end Roode picked up the victory after catching Rhodes with his running lariat to the back of the head. Bobby Roode motioned for the T.V title afterwards as the announcers spoke about Roode being one of the favourites to become the first TNA T.V Champion. RESULT| BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari was standing again on the interview podium to introduce his second guest of the evening the first ever TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. Daniels stormed out on to the podium dressed in a shirt and trousers. Daniels snatched the microphone from Daivari and told the TNA reporter to get lost. Daniels said he knew what questions he was going to be asked and this is all he has to say about what happened last week and next weeks match against James Storm. Last week, Christopher Daniels was robbed out of the TNA title, Chris Harris is a coward and if James Storm thinks next week he is going to get revenge then Storm is mistaken because Daniels told Storm to think it about it seriously the first time Daniels attacked Storm it was down to the fact that Storm was due a title shot at what Daniels wanted now this time Storm is fighting for a title shot that Christopher Daniels is entitled too after last weeks shambles. Daniels warned Storm that next week Storm will not get his revenge, next week Storm will not even win and earn the right to face the TNA Champion because Daniels is going to hurt Storm worse than he did the first time and Storm can thank Chris Harris for that. Christopher Daniels stormed off as Mike Tenay noted that he has never before seen that look in Christopher Daniels’ eye before. Following the next match Shawn Daivari would speak with TNA Champion, Chris Harris.
TNA97| MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
FRIDAY 4TH JUNE 2004| FOX SPORTS| TNA iMPACT! DEBUTS 04.06.04| iMPACT!| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Announcers discussed how TNA iMPACT! A one hour broadcast will debut on Fox Sports on the 4th June and one of the feature matches will be GREATNESS taking on Zero Gravity in match one of their best of 5 series to determine the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. A second match will be announced over the next couple of weeks. GREATNESS & Zero Gravity will meet in singles matches across the next two TNA Pay per Views.
MATCH 5| NON-TITLE MATCH TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) W. AME SECURITY V BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS NOTE| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE HOLDS 3 PREVIOUS VICTORIES OVER BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS Announcers discussed how every team in the TNA Tag Team division are desperate to end the year plus reign of Alpha Male Enterprise. AME believe they are bigger than the entire TNA Tag Team division and have even requested that the TNA Tag Team titles be retired because no other team will ever be worthy of holding the titles following their reign. AME have held the TNA Tag Team titles for over a year but they have screwed over a lot of teams to hold the TNA Tag Team titles that length of time.
BG James & Ron Killings have been AME’s longest rivals and tonight the two teams who have decent chemistry against one another had an enjoyable brawl but in the end as Killings came off the ropes to nail Skipper with his Axe kick he was surprised in mid flight by Monty Brown and his Pounce. Following the match AME surrounded by AME security celebrated with their TNA Tag Team titles. RESULT| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE VIA PIN FALL
Footage was shown from the end of last weeks TNA Championship match between Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels showing there was 10 seconds or so left in the match Harris was on his feet while Daniels was down, Harris had the opportunity to go for the win but instead Harris waited until their was less than 10 seconds left then rolled out of ring opting to take the easy way out and guarantee he retained his TNA title, following the footage the announcers discussed Chris Harris’ actions debating whether not only if Harris made the right decision but do people want to see the TNA Champion take the easy way out…
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari again standing on the interview podium introduced the TNA Champion, Chris Harris. Harris walked out wearing a blazer with jeans and a shirt carrying the TNA title over his shoulder. Harris and Daivari shook hands before the interview began. Daivari congratulated Harris on retaining the TNA title but wanted to address the controversy coming from the match, Daivari also noted that there always seems to be controversy or talking points coming for a Chris Harris, TNA title match. Harris took exception to Daivari’s comments; Harris gave his opinion on events. Harris said last week he and Christopher Daniels put it all on the line, they both wanted to leave last week as the TNA Champion, they had a war a battle a match that will be remembered forever and in the end Harris retained the TNA title! Harris makes no apologies and accepts no criticism for taking the easy way out because you don’t take risks when it comes to the TNA Championship. The TNA title is the symbol of being the best in the business and Harris is not taking any risk with it, Harris may have been able to hit Daniels with a 3rd spear and get the pin fall but also Daniels had just rocked Harris with an up kick and if Harris caught him in the Koji clutch or dropped him with Angels Wings there is no guarantee that Harris would be standing here tonight as the TNA Champion and standing here tonight and every other night as the TNA Champion is the only option for Chris Harris because Harris works every second of every day, harder than everybody else to stand here as the TNA Champion! Harris held up the TNA title close to Daivari’s face and told him no one takes this away from him, with that Harris was spun around…
CM Punk dropped Chris Harris face first on the podium with an Even flow DDT. Punk sat next to Harris for a few seconds before rubbing his face jumping to his feet and grabbing the microphone from Daivari. Punk told Harris to stop living in the past and to always remember that this is CM Punk’s world and everyone else is just living in it and at TNA98; CM Punk will become the new TNA Champion!
TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK!
Announcers ran through the upcoming TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling schedule for the next few weeks… • 26.05.04 – TNA97| (Main Event – James Storm V Christopher Daniels plus Austin Aries V Paul London, TNA T.V title tournament continues (Doug Williams V Eric Young & Amazing Red V Petey Williams) plus CM Punk) • 02.06.04 – TNA98| (Main Event – TNA Championship © Chris Harris V CM Punk plus Matt Sydal V Roderick Strong, TNA T.V title tournament continues (Hernandez V Frankie Kazarian & Ron Killings V Antonio Banks)) • 04.06.04- TNA iMPACT!| (Best of 5 Series| Match 1| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) V Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London)) • 09.06.04 – TNA99| (Main Event – Sting V Abyss) • 11.06.04 – TNA iMPACT!| • 16.06.04 – TNA100| (Main Event| Steel Cage Match – AJ Styles V CM Punk) • 18.06.04 – TNA iMPACT!| • 23.06.04 – TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| AJ STYLES V CHRIS SABIN…
Ahead of tonight’s Main Event, TNA camera’s caught up with both AJ Styles and Chris Sabin for comments on tonight’s Main Event which has the potential to be one of the greatest matches in TNA history. AJ Styles mentioned how the last time he spoke he made it clear that he is coming for the TNA title and CM Punk and now thanks to Dusty Rhodes at TNA100 he has been giving the green light to get his hands on CM Punk inside a Steel Cage and while AJ will without question get his revenge on Punk he may not get his hands on the TNA title because if champion, Punk is refusing to be the title on the line against him so all AJ can do is keep winning, keep beating everyone TNA puts in front of and then nothing can stop AJ from getting his rightful shot at the title that was stolen from him. Chris Sabin said if he was insecure he would be thinking to himself that it seems TNA management had given up on him since he failed to become the TNA Champion because Sabin hasn’t been given much to sink his teeth into so it’s a good thing Sabin is not insecure, in fact Sabin is his own biggest fan and tonight Sabin is going to remind everyone just how good he is and shock the world one more time when he beats AJ Styles in the middle of the ring. Sabin finished by asking when does it stop becoming a surprise?
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT AJ STYLES V CHRIS SABIN STAT| AJ STYLES HAS A 73% WIN RATE FROM 37 MATCHES – CHRIS SABIN HAS A 67% WIN RATE FROM 30 MATCHES NOTE| AJ STYLES IS A FORMER TNA CHAMPION – CHRIS SABIN WON THE FIRST EVER NEXT STEP TOURNAMENT – THIS IS THEIR FIRST EVER MEETING AJ and Sabin did not disappoint they put on something special tonight, which will be talked about long into the future a contender for Match of the Year. AJ was the favourite coming into the match but Sabin as always thrives being the underdog but like Sabin mentioned pre match it will not be long before Sabin is no longer classed as the underdog because Sabin has found consistency now. Sabin will be among the favourites to become the first TNA T.V Champion.
AJ is as focused as we may have ever seen him including his reign as TNA Champion which made Sabin’s performance more impressive but in the end it was AJ Styles who came away with the victory after planting Sabin with his Styles Clash. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL
Following the match after AJ Styles had his arm raised in victory by the match official he was met in the middle of the ring by Chris Sabin the two men exchanged compliments before shaking one another’s hands, AJ Styles then raised Chris Sabin’s hand out of respect to his opponent. Mike Tenay was proud of both AJ Styles and Chris Sabin show casing what professional wrestling is all about. Fans were on their feet for both men. TNA96 went off the air with Chris Sabin making his way back up the aisle upset with the loss but knowing and the fans knowing that Sabin’s time will come while AJ Styles again motioned for the TNA Championship.

Ooooh shucky ducky. Cool little opening tag match; not entirely familiar with everyone involved but I'm a fan of Kazarian and Traci's chest so I'm glad they got the win. The post match interactions were intriguing. There's a bunch of good names in that tournament for the contract. Ken Phoenix winning is cool but I'm not banking on him winning it all. Abyss beating Jerry Lynn was nice and gives the big guy more momentum going into his clash with Sting. I spy a stacked tournament for the TV Title. Ooh, first match is next! Bobby Roode beating Dustin was a good choice and the match was well-written. It think it's cool you save the tag title match for the winner of the best-of-5 series as to not devalue the winner of that's victory. AME winning was the right decision too. I'm slowly coming around on Chris Harris as a fan, and his interview was solid. Punk's my favorite so I'm glad he got the upper hand and TNA98 is gonna be solid with them two. Pretty cool main event with AJ Styles going over Chris Sabin. I wish it was done more in today's weekly wrestling where the main event is more fan service and less trying to forward a storyline. Like I don't need to sit through an opening Authority promo, recaps every half-hour, a Kane match, a Rollins match and a 11:05 segment to get the idea that guy A doesn't like the Authority. Sometimes they do a decent enough job building a program in 10 minutes that other time can be spent giving the fans a treat in the form of a great wrestling match. Sorry for the rant; another quality show on your end. WWE2010 will probably be up tomorrow so I'm hoping you'll check it out.

TNA96! Let's get down to it. Fun opening contest with New Millennium beating Jason Cross and John Walters, whoever they are - right? Interesting stuff afterward with Alexis Laree and Traci Brooks and all the drama going on. Kaz looked like a dink. Some cool names for the TNA Wrestling Academy Tournament... Cliff Compton! Ken Phoenix beating Caprice Coleman was a better decision since we, the reader, know who he is. A good interview with James Storm. No drinking? BULLSH*T! Him versus Christopher Daniels next week should be good. Abyss beating Jerry Lynn was obviously the right call, the only person around right now that should reasonably beat him is Sting. Another tournament going on - for the TNA TV Championship - while the Academy tournament going on is a bit strange. But, all that aside, glad to see Bobby Roode move on. I think he could really win it. Alpha Male Express winning was what it was, just a way really to get them some momentum I suppose. Advancing through the interviews that did it's job to promote the TNA Title stuff, we go to the main event where AJ Styles defeats Chris Sabin. A good victory for Styles amidst all of his stuff going on with Punk and the TNA Championship, while giving Sabin the opportunity to showcase himself. A solid show here.

TNA iMPACT! – FRIDAY 4TH JUNE, 2004! (BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
TNA97 opened with a video package looking back over the rivalry between James Storm and Christopher Daniels. James Storm over came injury to be named the top contender to the TNA Championship only to have his moment ruined by Christopher Daniels, Daniels attacked and injured Storm causing Storm to lose his shot at the TNA title. 2 weeks ago Christopher Daniels failed to become the new TNA Champion after wrestling to a time limit draw against Chris Harris. After a furious Daniels demanded Harris but instead got the returning James Storm who told Daniels he was back and at TNA97 they would meet in the middle of the ring and Storm would get his revenge plus with a victory a future shot at the TNA Championship!
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay welcomed everyone watching to the show before introducing his regular broadcast partners Jeremy Borash & Don Callis. The 3 announcers hyped tonight’s card as well as tonight’s huge Main Event we would see the 16 TNA T.V title tournament would continue Amazing Red V Petey Williams and Doug Williams V Eric Young. Austin Aries will take on Paul London ahead of the Best of 5 Series between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity to determine the next top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Plus the top contender to the TNA title, CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ who attacked the TNA Champion, Chris Harris last week will be here tonight one week before challenging for the TNA title next week!
TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! TONIGHT| CM PUNK SPEAKS!
MATCH 1| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND AMAZING RED V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE Coach D’Amore grabbed a microphone once he and Petey Williams had entered the ring. D’Amore said the last time Petey Williams was out here he had to sit on commentary and listen while the announcers questioned Williams’ ability because Williams was only beating TNA Wrestling Academy students, also D’Amore and Williams have heard and saw that Jerry Lynn does not like their attitude well tonight Petey Williams is going to take a step up in competition and show the doubters and Jerry Lynn what Petey Williams is all about and why Petey Williams will become the first TNA T.V Champion when he beats Lynn’s partner Amazing Red…
Red and Williams had a very good match to kick off the show this week. Both men should be classed among the favourites to become the first TNA T.V Champion. Red was without question a big step up in class for Williams but Williams proved to be up for the challenge and managed to score the biggest victory of his career so far and advance to the next round of the TNA T.V title tournament after Williams’ spiked Red with his spectacular but dangerous Canadian Destroyer. RESULT| PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Following the match Coach D’Amore joined Petey Williams in the ring to celebrate, D’Amore demanded the match official stop checking on Red and raise William’s hand in victory. Coach D’Amore grabbed a microphone and after asking the announcers if they were convinced yet demanded a replay aired of the greatest move in wrestling today but instead of a replay Jerry Lynn ran out and got in Petey Williams’ and Coach D’Amore’s faces. Couple of officials got between the men before Williams and D’Amore left the ring and Lynn went to check on his partner. Once Petey Williams and Coach D’Amore reached the top of the stage, D’Amore demanded a replay be aired much to the anger of Jerry Lynn.
James Storm was shown backstage having his previously injured shoulder looked over by the TNA medical team ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Christopher Daniels was also shown getting changed as the announcers discussed never seeing Daniels as intense as he was last week when Daniels promised to hurt James Storm tonight.
MATCH 2| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BRENT ALBRIGHT & LANCE ARCHER W. (BRISCOE BROTHERS’ & CHRIS HERO) HIGHLIGHTS| TNA95| BRISCOE BROTHERS BEAT BAD STREET BOYS FOLLOWING INTERFERENCE FROM HEROES FOR VILLAINS Chris Hero was shown at ringside during the match while the announcers queried why Heroes for Villains would confront Raven at TNA95, no words were exchanged and Raven wouldn’t even look at Hero and his troops but it was clear Hero was sending a message to Raven.
Bad Street Boys may be the more experienced team and may have challenged for the TNA Tag Team titles on two occasions but tonight they were no match for the larger Brent Albright & Lance Archer. Don Callis believes Christian York & Joey Matthews have finally ran out of fight following set back after set back. Archer pinned Matthews following a running kick to the head. RESULT| BRENT ALBRIGHT & LANCE ARCHER VIA PIN FALL
Following the match all of Heroes for Villains (Brent Albright, Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark), Chris Hero & Lance Archer) gathered in the ring as Chris Hero had something to say. Hero first watched with a smile on his face as Bad Street Boys were helped back up the aisle by TNA officials. Hero said over the last couple of weeks he has been polite enough to introduce every member of his army, they have been polite enough to show their domination in the middle of the ring and Hero has even shared their mission, they are the role models for the dark, twisted, cold hearted, evil bastards out there who are looking for inspiration. Hero claims to be a student of the game and after thinking about it, it hit him that one thing Heroes for Villains was missing was experience someone for them all to learn from then it hit Hero the only person Chris Hero could think of who is everything Chris Hero is Raven! So right now Chris Hero is inviting Raven to join his army, inviting Raven to join Heroes for Villains and Hero does not want to be made to wait for his decision so Hero is demanding Raven come out to the ring right now.
After waiting a couple of minutes it was clear Raven wasn’t coming, Mike Tenay noted that he doesn’t believe Raven is in the arena tonight and isn’t scheduled to here tonight. Chris Hero said he would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed but the truth is Raven isn’t the same man he used to be anyway before Hero and the rest of Heroes for Villains left the ring.
FRIDAY 4TH JUNE 2004| FOX SPORTS| TNA iMPACT! DEBUTS
MATCH 3| PAUL LONDON V AUSTIN ARIES NOTE| 04.06.04| iMPACT!| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! Pre match promo aired with GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong). Aries said that he and Strong are making no secret of their desire to not only become the TNA Tag Team champions but also to be the team that ends the reign of Alpha Male Enterprise. They want the TNA tag team titles because the titles are the reward for being the best at your craft while they want to be the team that beats AME because AME have screwed over them and every other tag team at some point. AME also screwed over Zero Gravity but you wouldn’t know it because Matt Sydal & Paul London haven’t said a word, some would think Zero Gravity don’t care but the fact is Zero Gravity are just a couple of kids who are too chilled out for their own good, don’t realise their own potential and think everything’s a joke. Aries told Zero Gravity that they are a good team, with a bit more focus and bit more effort they could be very good but they will never be… GREATNESS and that’s why GREATNESS are going to win tonight, next week on the first episode of iMPACT! And why GREATNESS is going to win the best of 5 series and go on to become the next TNA Tag Team champions…
Announcers noted that a second match for TNA iMPACT! Will be announced a little later tonight, Borash also revealed that he has been told by a source that Alpha Male Enterprise have been very vocal in saying they will not even watch the Best of 5 Series because they would dominant the winners, AME’s immediate focus is on Antonio Banks winning the TNA T.V title tournament.
Aries and London had a match which could be compared with some of the great TNA matches like Styles/Low Ki, Styles/Daniels etc it was right up there with the best. Match went about 15 minutes and if this match and the recent time limit draw between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity is anything to go by we are in for a treat with the Best of 5 Series. Both men missed 450 splashes in quick succession but it was Aries who managed to strike first spiking London with his Brain buster for the victory. RESULT| AUSTIN ARIES VIA PIN FALL
Fans were on their feet for a great match after the bell as Roderick Strong and Matt Sydal who meet next week came out to check on their respective partners. GREATNESS celebrated and motioned for the TNA Tag Team titles while Matt Sydal escorted Paul London back up the aisle. Zero Gravity now knows how seriously they have to take this series if they want to challenge AME for the TNA Tag Team titles.
‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm was standing by backstage with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson. Hudson welcomed Storm back and asked Storm how he was heading into tonight’s Main Event. Storm told Hudson he was fine, tonight is the reason Storm got through the last4/5 months because every day when Storm was down by the lake catching some fish and drinking all he was thinking about was kicking Christopher Daniels’ ass and tonight Storm is going to do exactly that and then Storm will be line for a shot at the TNA Championship! Hudson asked Storm if Daniels’ words changed any preparation, thinking for tonight’s match. Storm told Hudson none.
MATCH 4| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND RAY GORDY V RYAN O’ REILLY Winner of this 8 man tournament featuring all current members of the TNA Wrestling Academy would win a full time spot/contract on the TNA Wrestling roster. Last week Ken Phoenix was the first man to advance after beating Caprice Coleman.
Ryan O’Reilly who was attacked by ‘The Icon’ Sting a couple of weeks back due to O’Reilly being used as a distraction by Jim Mitchell and Abyss to attack Sting had the size and weight advantage over the second generation Ray Gordy and that worked out to O’Reilly’s benefit, O’Reilly controlled the match before putting Gordy away with a Claw slam. Ryan O’Reilly joins Ken Phoenix in the Semi Finals. RESULT| RYAN O’REILLY VIA PIN FALL
Announcers were shown at ringside and they turned their discussion to TNA Wrestling’s debut on Fox Sports on June 4th. Tenay noted how it’s another platform to get the TNA product out to more viewers, TNA Wrestling continues to grow. Mike Tenay then announced the second match announced for TNA iMPACT! – AJ Styles V Petey Williams! Tenay noted that AJ requested a match on the debut edition of TNA iMPACT! So TNA management decided to put AJ the former TNA champion up against the currently undefeated Petey Williams in what will also be without question the biggest test of Petey Williams’ TNA career so far…
Video package aired looking back at AJ Styles recent victories over Bobby Roode and Chris Sabin last week in what was a classic match. AJ has made it clear he wants to get his hands on both CM Punk and the TNA Championship and the only way to guarantee that is by winning! Following the video exclusive footage was shown from TNA96 last week, backstage after the Pay per View was off the air AJ Styles and Chris Sabin received a standing ovation backstage from a number of TNA wrestlers and staff after their great Main Event.
04.06.04| iMPACT!| AJ STYLES V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE! 16.06.04| TNA100| MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!
NEXT WEEK| TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK!
After footage aired from last week showing CM Punk drop TNA Champion, Chris Harris with his Even flow DDT. TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing on the interview podium next to the entrance stage introduced his guest the top contender to the TNA title… CM Punk!
CM Punk ignoring Daivari on the podium marched down towards the ring wearing a t shirt, shorts and beanie hat. Punk entered the ring and demanded a microphone. Tenay noted can’t do anything he’s asked to do. Punk told Daivari he doesn’t need Daivari holding his microphone and if Punk’s going to speak he’s going to speak in the middle of the ring so there are no mistakes and every can see him front and centre. Punk wants to start off by talking about AJ Styles. Punk told everyone a few weeks back that he would love nothing more than to keep the TNA title from AJ Styles forever the same way AJ and TNA management tried to do to him but clearly Punk was fighting a losing battle from the beginning and now at TNA100 inside a Steel Cage, Punk and AJ will finally settle their differences. AJ Styles the man TNA management sees as symbol of everything they wish to represent against CM Punk the man TNA management have to censor and the man TNA management wish never becomes the TNA Champion!
Punk said he has some bad news for everyone the fans, the announcers, TNA management, the boys in the back, AJ Styles and especially Chris Harris because next week CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ finally gets his hands on the TNA title. Chris Harris in his desperation to prove to every body that he deserves to be the TNA Champion made the biggest mistake of his life and it’s going to cost him everything he has worked for and everything he hopes to achieve because next week CM Punk becomes the new TNA Champion! Punk mentioned how Harris is desperate to go down in history as the greatest TNA Champion off all time and the face of TNA but unfortunately for Harris, Punk’s mission in life is to go down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time chokes out everything Harris wants and next week is only the start. Punk gets that everybody hates him but people need to get with the reality that they are all living in CM Punk’s world, this is CM Punk’s story and everyone else is just a spectator, next week CM Punk beats Chris Harris in the middle of the ring to become the new TNA Champion at TNA100 he beats, hurts and maybe sacrifices AJ Styles like Punk did Raven inside a Steel Cage and then CM Punk leads TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling into the future as the TNA Champion!
Announcers discussed CM Punk’s words with Jeremy Borash calling CM Punk delusional and possibly crazy but admitted CM Punk could very well leave TNA98 next week as the new TNA Champion. Callis disagreed with Punk being crazy saying Punk’s arrogant and out there but all great men are borderline crazy and Callis believes Chris Harris has bitten off more than he can chew and next week we would all witness history when CM Punk becomes the new TNA Champion. Announcers then discussed the upcoming TNA schedule…
• 02.06.04 – TNA98| (Main Event – TNA Championship © Chris Harris V CM Punk plus Matt Sydal V Roderick Strong, TNA T.V title tournament continues (Hernandez V Frankie Kazarian & Ron Killings V Antonio Banks)) • 04.06.04- TNA iMPACT!| (Best of 5 Series| Match 1| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) V Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) and AJ Styles V Petey Williams) • 09.06.04 – TNA99| (Main Event – Sting V Abyss) • 11.06.04 – TNA iMPACT!| • 16.06.04 – TNA100| (Main Event| Steel Cage Match – AJ Styles V CM Punk) • 18.06.04 – TNA iMPACT!| • 23.06.04 – TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
MATCH 5| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND DOUG WILLIAMS V ERIC YOUNG STATS| DOUG WILLIAMS HAS A 62% WIN RATE FROM 26 MATCHES – ERIC YOUNG HAS A 45% WIN RATE FROM 11 MATCHES Eric Young’s friend Bobby Roode was the first man last week to advance in the TNA T.V title tournament, Roode was not out tonight with Young. Doug Williams has to be classed as one of the favourites to win the tournament while Young may be in the second group of favourites.
Williams’ who had a set back in his last match losing to CM Punk and Young had a hard hitting match which the fans got behind. Neither man backing down Williams’ because he knows no better and Young because he may actually be crazy in the end Williams had to almost take Young’s head off with a number of repeated European uppercuts which brought the fans to their feet before pinning Young following his Chaos Theory. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Doug Williams spoke with Shawn Daivari after the bell and told Daivari a year ago at the first year anniversary Pay per View, Doug Williams came out and told everyone that he would make history in the second year of TNA and now Williams has his opportunity to stick to his word when he beats 15 other men to proudly become the first ever TNA T.V Champion!
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS…
Following the same video package that opened tonight’s Pay per View looking back at the rivalry between Storm and Daniels’ airing, footage was shown from last week where Christopher Daniels maybe more intense than we have ever seen him before due to in his opinion being screwed out of the TNA title by Chris Harris vowed to hurt James Storm!
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT JAMES STORM V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS STAT| JAMES STORM HAS A 73% WIN RATE FROM 41 MATCHES (11TH OVERALL) – CHRISTOPHER DANIELS HAS A 77% WIN RATE (8TH OVERALL) NOTE| JAMES STORM WINS TONIGHT HE WILL BE IN LINE FOR A SHOT AT THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP James Storm before being injured further by Christopher Daniels at the start of the year had wrestled and won more matches than anyone on the TNA Roster.
While Storm is 11th overall and Daniels is 8th overall when it comes to the highest win rates when it comes to wrestlers who are active and have wrestled more than 10 matches, Storm is 6th and Daniels is 3rd.
Christopher Daniels actually holds a previous victory over James Storm back at TNA09 the week before Daniels made history by becoming the first TNA Champion!
Storm and Daniels stood face to face; eye to eye in the middle of the ring on the bell the atmosphere was intense. Storm was coming for revenge while Daniels was still raging after failing to regain the TNA title two weeks ago at TNA95.
Storm and Daniels had what would more be described as a fight than a wrestling match both men being true to their word looking to hurt the other. While Storm has been cleared to wrestle it didn’t stop Daniels still focusing on Storm’s recent injury his left shoulder when possible. Storm while wanting to hurt and beat Daniels knew that this was the biggest match of his career because with a victory Storm would finally get his shot at the TNA title and Storm come close on a number of occasions especially after catching Daniels with his Eye of the Storm but Daniels managed to kick out at the last second, Storm also managed to drop Daniels with his own Last Rites but again Daniels escaped defeat at the last second but in the end it all turned sour for Storm and again Daniels was true to his word when Daniels sent Storm shoulder first into the ring post!
Storm fell from the ring and was clearly hurt but Daniels didn’t stop he followed Storm out and straight away tossed Storm shoulder first into the ring steps before picking Storm up and carelessly throwing Storm into the security railings. Storm was in agony holding his shoulder curled up in a ball until Daniels dragged Storm back to his feet and rolled Storm back into the ring. Daniels followed Storm back into the ring and Storm tried to catch Daniels off guard with his Super kick but Daniels caught and dropped Storm’s foot before planting Storm with his reverse STO and locking Storm in his Koji clutch targeting Storm’s injured shoulder and surprising to many James Storm tapped out straight away! RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA TAP OUT
James Storm tapped out! Christopher Daniels made James Storm tap out in his hometown! Daniels kneeled beside Storm who tried to bury his head into the mat while holding his shoulder. Christopher Daniels promised to hurt James Storm tonight and Daniels did exactly that. Announcers agreed that due to the outcome of the previous Daniels/Harris match and the result here tonight Christopher Daniels has to be in line for another shot at the TNA title. Daniels calmly, coldly just rolled out of the ring and heading backstage knowing that he has sent a loud message tonight to who ever the TNA Champion is going to be after next weeks Pay per View.
Match official tried checking on James Storm but Storm with his right hand pushed the official away. Storm has failed tonight to earn a shot at the TNA title and get his revenge on Christopher Daniels. Mike Tenay noted James Storm will be hurting physically and mentally tonight after tapping out to Christopher Daniels tonight in his home town in front of his friends and family, especially after how fast Storm tapped. As Storm made his way back up the aisle you could see the hurt and embarrassment on Storm’s face. TNA97 went off the air with Storm looking back out into the arena with near tears in his eyes as Mike Tenay asked whether James Storm would ever be the same again.

You're getting ever-so close to TNA100 and I'm excited for that. I said before that the TV Title tournament was stacked with talent and the opening match did not disappoint. The match was well-written and I like the devotion to developing Petey Williams. The second match was solid and it furthers the story you set in place a couple of shows ago. I like the prospect of Raven adding to the Heroes for Villains too. I like hyping the best-of-five series with the singles match, especially considering how fun of a match up it is. Either man winning would've been fine with me because these two teams are far from over. I actually Googled Ryan O'Reilly--got him confused with reDRagon's Kyle O'Reilly--and found out he's WWE's Konnor. Now I'm rooting for him to win...and he does! I am intrigued to see how you present the winner of the Academy Tournament to the shows and PPVs. CM Punk as TNA Champion is a thing I can sink my teeth into. I dig Doug Williams advancing in the TV Title tournament in a nice match. The main event was booked very well and Daniels winning gives him a good edge as the show comes to a close. Overall another great show and I'm particularly curious to see how you handle James Storm going forward.

TNA97! Starting things off red hot - ha, get it? Red hot? 'Cuz Amazing Red? Yeah. Anyway. Petey Williams has looked really, really strong since you brought him in and I'm actually really pulling for him to win the TV Title tournament. Lance Archer and Brent Albright beating The Bad Street Boys doesn't surprise me. The BSB haven't done much, so the H4V members getting the win was clear. Raven to join H4V? I don't buy it. I see him as a stepping stone for Hero in a feud. Austin Aries beating Paul London was fine; not going to complain about the outcome of anything in this best of five series probably as I'd be happy with either team winning and eventually becoming the TNA Tag Team Champions. Slam Master J... down he goes for Ryan O'Reilly. Glad to see that O'Reilly moves on, although I don't expect him to win the TNA Wrestling Academy Tournament. Great stuff coming from CM Punk in his promo; really dug it and I could see him becoming the TNA Champion for sure down the line. Maybe not at TNA98 with his match coming up with Styles at TNA100... but you never know. Doug Williams with a win over Eric Young to move on in the TNA TV Title tournament doesn't surprise me at all. Young isn't on the level to be competing for a belt yet, even a new one. Finally, a tremendous main event with Christopher Daniels and James Storm having one hell of a battle. Daniels getting the win via submission was grand, especially in Storm's hometown to embarrass him further. I wonder what is next for Storm... a good show highlighted by a great main event.

They immediately began hyping tonight’s Main Event which would be for the TNA Championship, champion Chris Harris defends against CM Punk!

FRIDAY 4TH JUNE 2004| FOX SPORTS| TNA iMPACT! DEBUTS
MATCH 1| MATT SYDAL V RODERICK STRONG NOTE| 04.06.04| iMPACT!| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! HIGHLIGHTS| TNA97| AUSTIN ARIES BEAT PAUL LONDON Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) spoke with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson backstage ahead of tonight’s opening match. Paul London responded to GREATNESS criticism from last week about not showing enough emotion. London told Hudson that they too did get screwed over by Alpha Male Enterprise but just because they don’t come out here and go on about how they got screwed over they let others who get paid to do that, do that and they just focus on doing what they do better than anybody else including GREATNESS which London called a bad choice of name people want to question them, people won’t be questioning them once they have won the Best of 5 Series and go to take the TNA Tag Team titles from AME.
Strong and Sydal like Aries and London put on a good wrestling exciting wrestling match which got the show off to a hot start. Strong was the harder hitter while Sydal used his pace and his high flying ability well but in the end it was Strong who scored the victory after catching Sydal with a uranage into a back breaker before locking Sydal in his version of the lion tamer the Strong Hold for the tap out victory. RESULT| RODERICK STRONG VIA TAP OUT
GREATNESS going into the first match of the Best of 5 Series this Friday on iMPACT! With huge momentum after winning two consecutive singles victories over Zero Gravity. Austin Aries came out to celebrate with Roderick Strong and the two motioned for the TNA Tag Team titles while Paul London checked on Matt Sydal at ringside. Borash noted that Zero Gravity may have to win the first match in the series or GREATNESS with the momentum they have may run away with the tournament and it might be over sooner rather than later.
Video package aired looking at the announcement of the 16 man TNA T.V Championship tournament and how Bobby Roode, Doug Williams and Petey Williams have advanced to the next round in the tournament to crown the first ever TNA T.V Champion…
Frankie Kazarian was up in action next against the undefeated Hernandez but before and after highlights aired of New Millennium’s (Kazarian & Michael Shane) recent talking points pinning the first ever TNA Tag Team champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn and threatening Alexis Laree which then led to Laree taking out her frustrations on TNA Wrestling Academy student, Ken Phoenix…
Ken Phoenix earlier today backstage a recorded a quick promo where Phoenix told Alexis Laree he has no hard feelings towards her and he understands why she reacted the way she did after how she was embarrassed by New Millennium. Phoenix told Laree if she ever needs to talk her could be there for her and one day who knows they could be friends.
MATCH 2| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND HERNANDEZ V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS Frankie Kazarian who has previously headlined TNA Pay per Views and has beaten the likes of Chris Sabin, Doug Williams and Raven while has tested greats like AJ Styles and Sting proved to be the toughest test for the undefeated Mexican, Hernandez. Don Callis stated before the match that he believed that one of Traci Brooks guys could become the first TNA T.V Champion but it will have to be Michael Shane because Hernandez scored the biggest win of his TNA career so far in what was a decent match after Hernandez caught Kazarian’s pump kick, tossed Kazarian over head with a throw before pinning Kazarian before a pop up Power bomb. Hernandez stays undefeated he becomes the first ever TNA T.V Champion but in the next round it gets tougher because Hernandez will face Bobby Roode. RESULT| HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA77|2004| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT © AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL TO BECOME THE NEW TNA CHAMPION!
AJ Styles was standing by backstage with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson. Hudson asked AJ what he was doing here tonight. AJ told Hudson he was always going to be here tonight one to promote his match this Friday on the debut episode of TNA iMPACT! Where AJ will be the first man to beat Petey Williams but also to watch tonight’s Main Event because while it would be tough to watch Chris Harris and CM Punk fight over what AJ still believes to be his the TNA title, AJ very soon will be getting a shot at the title one way or another and AJ has to be ready. AJ also mentioned there was a third reason but before AJ could go further AJ was confronted by CM Punk and a number of TNA officials there to keep AJ and Punk apart. Punk said the third reason was because Punk invited AJ here tonight to watch as Punk becomes the new TNA Champion! Punk said AJ believes that Punk took the TNA title away from him, stole his dream and tonight AJ has the perfect shot at revenge but the truth is AJ has not got the balls to return the favour. AJ got as close as possible to Punk’s face as he could before telling Punk that the perfect revenge would be AJ taking the TNA title from Punk in the middle of the ring so tonight AJ wishes CM Punk good luck frustrating Punk ahead of his TNA title match later tonight.

MATCH 3| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND RON KILLINGS V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU Ron Killings has a long history with Alpha Male Enterprise tonight against Antonio Banks the MVP of AME being the latest chapter. Killings’ came into TNA with a lot of hype and many still believe Killings’ has all the tools to go to the top of TNA but Killings’ has remained loyal to BG James. Last week Borash revealed via his sources that AME’s immediate focus is on making sure Banks becomes the first ever TNA T.V Champion and tonight Banks did not let AME down after scoring a huge victory beating Killings following an exploder supflex. RESULT| ANTONIO BANKS VIA PIN FALL
TNA ringside reporter, Shawn Daivari entered the ring to interview Antonio Banks who had now been joined by the rest of AME including the TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown. Daivari congratulated Banks on his victory when Monty Brown grabbed the microphone and said Antonio Banks would become the first TNA T.V Champion and everyone would see that AME is truly taking over. Daivari asked Brown if they would be watching the Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles but Brown laughed at Daivari’s suggestion and told him it doesn’t matter to them who wins the series because ultimately they lose all their eyes are on Antonio Banks becoming the first TNA T.V Champion as AME left the ring with Ekmo Fatu at the back of the group, the announcers noted that Ekmo Fatu was also in the TNA T.V title tournament and if Fatu beats Sonjay Dutt next week then in the next round Fatu faces Antonio Banks, how does Fatu feel about Monty Brown’s comments.
Video package aired looking at Chris Harris previous TNA title defences which saw Harris wrestle to a negative time limit draw against AJ Styles before beating Chris Sabin in a hard fought match. Harris since then has beat Raven but not without a slight distraction from Norman Smiley then the last time out Harris wrestled to another time limit draw against Christopher Daniels but this time with seconds remaining with the match still any ones to take instead of going for the win, Harris took the easy way out and guaranteed retaining the TNA title by rolling out of the ring…
More footage was then shown from 2 weeks ago when Chris Harris was justifying his actions against Christopher Daniels stating you do not take risks with the TNA Championship before being laid out by tonight’s opponent CM Punk. Following the footage Christopher Daniels who made James Storm tap out last week and has called Chris Harris a coward since their match was shown watching on a monitor while Chris Harris was shown talking over strategy with Norman Smiley ahead of tonight’s Main Event.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA97| MAIN EVENT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JAMES STORM VIA TAP OUT!
Announcers spoke about last weeks Main Event where Christopher Daniels beat James Storm in the Main Event after making Storm tap out to his Koji clutch crushing Storm’s hopes of a future TNA Championship shot. Tenay then introduced clips from an interview Tenay conducted with the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ yesterday morning…
James Storm wearing all black, t-shirt, shades, cap told Mike Tenay that he feels embarrassed and ashamed after tapping out to Christopher Daniels last week. Tenay tried reassuring Storm telling him there is no shame in tapping out but Storm responded back by saying that quick, in your home town with a World title shot at stake. Storm revealed after the match when he was checked over by the doctors for a second Storm wanted the doctors to tell him his shoulder ripped from its socket that it was not repairable but Storm knew the truth that apart from the usual pain and nagging that comes from competing with a previous injury it was fine and the reason Storm tapped out was all upstairs it was mentally and that’s another reason why he’s embarrassed. Storm admitted that it has been a tough week calling it the toughest and longest week of his life from losing in front of his friends and family and having to see the pity in their eyes it broke Storm. Storm was angry for a couple of days then he had a day of drinking himself stupid but then he had that moment of clarity and now James Storm believes last week may have been the best thing to ever happen to him because now Storm has motivation, now Storm has reason, Storm has something to prove to himself and everyone else. Since last week the words Storm has been hearing when his name has been mentioned is quit, never, give up, stop, over but Storm has a message for everyone and Storm noted these were not words to sell a match of Pay per View these were from his heart James Storm will never give up again and James Storm will become the TNA Champion - Storm finished by stating he just needs one opportunity!
Announcers discussed the strong words from James Storm before noting that regardless of what Storm says it is going to be very tough for the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ turn things around and get back into the TNA title picture currently.
MATCH 4| RAVEN V ANDY DOUGLAS W. CHASE STEVENS Last week Chris Hero invited Raven to join his Heroes for Villains army only for Raven to ignore Hero which resulted in Chris Hero then claiming that Raven was not the same man he used to be. Raven who came close to beating Chris Harris for the TNA title in his last outing had to much for Andy Douglas and beat one half of The Naturals following his Even flow DDT. RESULT| RAVEN VIA PIN FALL
Raven following the match also dropped Chase Stevens with an Even flow DDT then at ringside a hesitant Shawn Daivari tried to get a word with Raven concerning Chris Hero’s offer and comments last week but Raven ignored Daivari and walked straight past before Chris Hero was shown watching backstage and Hero looked livid that Raven continues to ignore him and Heroes for Villains.
TNA Champion, Chris Harris was standing by backstage with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson. Hudson asked Harris how he was feeling heading into his title defence later tonight against CM Punk. Harris told Hudson that he is sick and tired of justifying his actions because he works too hard, harder than anybody else to have to justify his actions. Harris reminded Hudson that he agreed to give Raven, Christopher Daniels and CM Punk three men who felt hard done by and deserved a shot at the TNA title a shot at his title and so far Harris has retained his title against 2 of the 3 and tonight after he retains against CM Punk he has completed the set, proven he is a great champion and will lead TNA into their debut on Fox Sports as the TNA Champion.
MATCH 5| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND JASON CROSS V CLIFF COMPTON 3rd of the 4 first round matches in the TNA Wrestling Academy tournament which has seen Ken Phoenix and Ryan O’Reilly advance into the Semi Finals so far, the winner of the tournament will earn a full time TNA Wrestling contract and it was the bigger Compton who joined Phoenix & O’Reilly in the last four after pinning Cross following a neck breaker. Compton will now face Ken Phoenix for a spot in the Finals of the tournament. RESULT| CLIFF COMPTON VIA PIN FALL
Announcers were shown on camera sitting at ringside discussing the debut of TNA iMPACT! This Friday on Fox Sports before promoting the card which would see former TNA Champion, AJ Styles take on the undefeated Petey Williams. We’d the first match in the Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) plus we would hear from whoever is the TNA Champion. They then turned their attention to next weeks Pay per View TNA99 which would be headlined by ‘The Icon’ Sting taking on ‘The Monster’ Abyss before introducing a video package looking at the history between Abyss and Sting…
Sting was shown walking around an abandoned building as clips of Abyss’ destruction over the TNA Roster aired on the walls of the building, showing Abyss injure Sabu, Terry Funk and former TNA Champion, Low Ki by press slamming all 3 men over the top rope and through a table at ringside. Abyss then targeted Sting warning Sting that 2004 would be Sting’s last year because Abyss was going to end his career but not until Abyss has tortured Sting a little, footage was shown of Abyss dropping Sting with his Black Hole slam before breaking Sting’s trademark baseball bat over Sting’s back. The building Sting was shown walking around was then shown being on fire up in flames as Sting stood watching the building burn to the ground before turning to the camera and telling Abyss it was Showtime!

UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK…
CM Punk was now standing by backstage with Scott Hudson just moments before challenging Chris Harris for the TNA Championship. Hudson asked Punk how he was feeling heading into the biggest match of his career. Punk told Hudson after having the TNA title slip through his fingers when he challenged AJ Styles he will not let that happen tonight, tonight CM Punk finally becomes the new TNA Champion and everything Chris Harris has worked for vanishes, Punk takes it all away and then Chris Harris and everyone else especially AJ Styles will realise they are all living in CM Punk’s world!
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK NOTE| FIRST EVER MEETING BETWEEN CHRIS HARRIS & CM PUNK STATS| CHRIS HARRIS HAS AN 80% WIN RATE FROM 40 MATCHES – CM PUNK HAS A 69% WIN RATE FROM 36 MATCHES Chris Harris and CM Punk had a very good technical wrestling match which at times was slow paced but overall was a very good contest which had the fans on their feet by the end of the match. AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels were both shown watching during the Main Event both men are desperate for another shot at the TNA title while AJ is also watching CM Punk ahead of their Steel Cage match at TNA100.
Harris more so than any match since his title defence against AJ Styles used a champions advantage to his advantage against Punk running down the clock and in the end it paid off because Harris and Punk wrestled to a 30 minute time limit draw frustrating the fans in attendance again. Harris came close following his Catatonic and later after hitting his Spear but Punk kicked out on both occasions. Punk got became frustrated wrestling Harris’ match but Punk came close to becoming the new TNA Champion on a number of occasions also especially after clocking Harris with a shining wizard but in the end nothing could separate Harris and Punk and the time limit expired while both men were desperately trying to roll the other man up. RESULT| 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW
Chris Harris rolled out of the ring where he was handed his TNA Championship. Despite Harris going to another time limit draw which the crowd were not happy with the outcome Harris put in a great performance and probably just about deserved to pick up the victory here tonight. Chris Harris agreed to give Raven, Christopher Daniels and CM Punk a shot at his TNA title in quick succession and now the series is over Chris Harris is still the TNA Champion and will appear on the first episode of TNA iMPACT! as TNA Champion.
CM Punk came close again but again has failed to become the TNA Champion and Punk was not happy Punk after replays from the match had aired had the match official cornered in the corner of the ring before the noise in the arena lifted because AJ Styles was running down the aisle. Punk heard the noise and turned to face AJ but AJ dropped Punk with a springboard superman punch before Punk rolled from the ring and crawled up the aisle. AJ and Punk will meet in 2 weeks at TNA100 in a Steel Cage match. CM Punk was on his knees screaming in anger at failing to become the TNA Champion plus being dropped by AJ Styles as AJ leaned over the ropes telling Punk he would get his revenge as TNA98 went off the air but not before Mike Tenay reminded everyone to join us for the debut of TNA iMPACT! Friday on Fox Sports where AJ Styles will take on Petey Williams!

TNA98 kicks off strong--literally--with Roderick Strong and Matt Sydal. Pretty cool match-up and Strong winning was good. Both members of Greatness won singles matches so I'm expecting Zero Gravity to pick up an early win in the best-of-five match-ups. Hernandez advancing in the TV Tournament is good; you couldn't really go wrong with either guy here but it's smart to keep his undefeated streak alive until some more meaningful match. I'll keep drinking the SuperMex Kool-Aid for now. AJ hyping up the debut of Impact was smart and his interaction with Punk came off nicely. No problems with Banks advancing in the tournament, especially with the prospect of him and Ekmo Fatu meeting up in the next round. The James Storm promo was well-written. Raven's win was needed and I'm intrigued with the direction you'll be taking him and Heroes for Villains. Cliff Compton winning was fine by me; out of the three that advanced so far he's my pick to win. Really fun main event match, and the finish was for the best. Keeps both guys looking strong. Another great show and I'm excited for Sting and Abyss.

TNA98, just a couple of shows away from TNA100 and, obviously, we got Impact coming up next. Starting the show off with Roderick Strong and Matt Sydal was fun stuff; fine with Strong getting the win. As I said to the prior show, I'd be fine with either team winning the upcoming best of five series and ultimately become the tag champs. Poor Kazarian, losing to Hernandez. It's fine, though, I don't view either guy as the winner for the TV Championship. Ooh, a little teaser between Punk and Styles backstage, eh? Interesting... I don't see AJ getting too far involved tonight, though. I just think it may be too obvious. But hey, who knows? Antonio anks beats Ron Killings to move forth in the TV Championship tournament and AME keeps themselves strong with more winning. Hmm, Fatu vs Banks could happen, you say? Intriguing. James Storm pulling a Christian and wanting one more match, huh? I liked his promo overall and the main event is getting built up heavily. Storm/Harris/Styles/Punk in a fatal four way sounds sweet to me, personally... which actually might be your direction. We'll see. Obvious win for Raven over Andy Douglas. Nothing too noteworthy other than his ignoring of Chris Hero and H4V. Cliff Compton advancing in the TNA Wrestling Academy tournament was clear; he's obviously more known and more worth while to keep in the thing. Looking forward to Sting vs Abyss at TNA99. Finally, we get to the main event between Chris Harris and CM Punk; strong match up and going to a time limit draw - while underwhelming - builds more story for the main event and keeps everyone looking great. AJ Styles lifting things up from the down afterward was great, too. A good event, looking forward to Impact and TNA99/100.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING iMPACT! LIVE ON FOX SPORTS OPEN…
The first ever episode of TNA iMPACT! Opened with Jeremy Borash sitting in a studio in the arena over looking the TNA ring – JB welcomed everyone to the debut edition of TNA IMPACT! on Fox Sports before introducing his broadcast partners for the evening, joining him in the studio New TNA analyst ‘The Franchise’ Shane Douglas and TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari who will have all the latest news as it breaks.
Shane Douglas told JB he was glad to be here tonight on the debut of TNA IMPACT! and be a part of a company that puts the Sports before the entertainment. Borash introduced a video package looking back over the near 2 year history of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling for any news fans tuning in tonight for the first time.
Video package aired looking at the first Pay per View TNA01 to the latest TNA Pay per View TNA98. Time line of events which has gone from AJ Styles and Low Ki wrestling to a 30 minute time limit draw to Christopher Daniels becoming the first ever TNA Champion winning the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn became the first TNA Tag Team Champions but soon lost out to Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) who have been champions ever since and dominated the division. Low Ki, AJ Styles and Chris Harris were shown winning their TNA title as was the debut of ‘The Icon’ Sting but mainly spotlighted was the number of great matches TNA has had over the last 2 years and the number of fresh young stars been given an opportunity to showcase their talents.
Borash & Douglas spoke in the studio with JB telling everyone that TNA Wrestling was a company dedicated to putting on the best wrestling possible with the best talent in the world. Douglas took over and said a wrestling company which puts the sports before the entertainment and where winning is the only thing that matters. Borash & Douglas ran through tonight’s card which would see former TNA Champion, AJ Styles take on the undefeated Petey Williams, graphics aired as everything was discussed – the first match in a Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) takes place plus we would hear from TNA Champion, Chris Harris!
TNA iMPACT! TONIGHT!! AJ STYLES V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE! BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! matches have a 20 minute time limit…
Crowd in the arena were shown on their feet anticipating the action to kick off when announcers Mike Tenay & Don Callis was shown on camera they discussed the tonight’s opening match between former TNA Champion, AJ Styles and the undefeated Petey Williams. AJ is hungry to regain his TNA title currently held by Chris Harris and AJ has made it clear he keeps winning he gets he’s shot eventually but it will not be easy tonight when he takes on the undefeated Petey Williams who is looking to shock the world tonight by beating AJ Styles…
Video package aired looking at AJ Styles’ TNA Wrestling career. ‘The Phenomenal One’ was given the opportunity of a lifetime at TNA01 by being put in the Main Event and AJ and Low Ki did not disappoint they had a classic which people still rave about today. Since that night AJ has been hungry to prove himself and AJ has just done that by beating everyone put in front of him including names like Christopher Daniels, Jeff Jarrett and Low Ki. AJ Styles is a former TNA Champion the 3rd in history and held the TNA title for 6 months before being screwed out of the title by CM Punk. AJ Styles’ focus is now on getting revenge on CM Punk and regaining his TNA Championship…
MATCH 1| AJ STYLES V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE AJ STYLES: FORMER TNA CHAMPION – 28 WINS FROM 38 MATCHES – 78% WIN RATE (4th BEST OVERALL) *Win rates only ranked after competing in 10 matches PETEY WILLIAMS: UNDEFEATED – 100% WIN RATE NOTE| TNA100| MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK! Pre match comments aired from Petey Williams and Coach D’Amore as they made their way out for tonight’s opening contest. D’Amore credited AJ Styles for getting everyone talking about TNA Wrestling originally after his performance at TNA01 but tonight on the first episode of TNA iMPACT! it will be his client Petey Williams the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada who steals the show and gets everyone talking after he drops AJ on his head with his Canadian Destroyer.
Petey Williams who has advanced to the second round of the ongoing TNA T.V title tournament and AJ Styles had a very good match which had the fans on their feet and the arena rocking. Both men were intent on coming out of the first show with the victory, Williams looked to use the Sharpshooter at one point to lead him to victory but AJ managed to break the hold by getting to the ropes. Petey was always looking for his Canadian Destroyer which is a dangerous running, flipping Pile driver a move while spectacular is very dangerous and Williams has already had a tongue lashing from Jerry Lynn about the move. AJ countered Petey’s first attempt with a fireman’s carry into a neck breaker across his knee. Later in the match Petey attempted the move again but this time AJ rolled through with Petey before pulling Petey into position for his Styles Clash which AJ hit in the middle of the ring which was enough to give AJ the victory and Petey Williams’ his first loss in TNA.
RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL Fans were on their feet celebrating AJ Styles’ victory while AJ caught his breath as Coach D’Amore checked on Petey Williams and complained about the victory. Tenay and Callis praised the performance of both men before they stated AJ Styles can now turn his attention to getting his revenge on CM Punk because the next time we see AJ in action it will be in action against CM Punk at TNA100 in a Steel Cage match!
Back in the studio JB, Shane Douglas & Shawn Daivari congratulated AJ Styles on his victory before too noting AJ would be facing CM Punk in 2 weeks at TNA100 in a Steel Cage match but it would not be for the TNA title after CM Punk failed to beat Chris Harris this past Wednesday on Pay per View. Graphic was shown hyping the AJ/Punk match before highlights aired from the end of Harris/Punk which went to a 30 minute time limit draw…
TNA100| MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK WENT TO A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW!
UP NEXT| TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS… Chris Harris the TNA Champion started making his way to ringside as JB and Shane Douglas discussed Harris’ reign as TNA Champion so far which has not gone without controversy. From the start Harris’ reign started under a black cloud after Harris defeated AJ Styles for the title after CM Punk had attacked AJ at ringside unbeknown to Harris. Douglas noted that Harris’ title reign has had its rough patches but no one deserves to be champion more than Chris Harris especially after Harris retained the title over Christopher Daniels, CM Punk and Raven recently.
Chris Harris was now in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand and the TNA title over his shoulder. Harris was wearing a TNA iMPACT! tee under his blazer. Harris told the fans in attendance and those watching at home on Fox Sports that tonight was a huge night for TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Harris welcomed everyone to TNA iMPACT! Harris mentioned that there will be a lot of viewers watching TNA for the first time tonight so Harris wants to introduce himself he is Chris Harris the current, reigning and defending TNA Champion, champion since the start of the year. Harris is the hardest working man in the business today and prides himself on being nothing less than professional. Harris has been a fighting champion defending his title successfully against in order AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, Raven, Christopher Daniels and most recently CM Punk! Harris is determined to go down in history as the face of TNA and by being here tonight as TNA Champion, Harris is on his way to doing just that!
Some fans were booing Harris while Tenay and Callis mentioned Harris’ “successful” defences against AJ, Daniels and Punk which were all time limit draws and Harris received criticism for his tactics/actions in the AJ and Daniels rematches especially. Harris to prove he is the best in the business today Harris agreed to defend his title against 3 men who were vocally adamant that they were the most deserving of a shot at the TNA title and now after Harris has retained his title against all 3 men there are people out there calling for rematches for some of the individuals (AJ/Daniels mainly) but Harris will not give out any more free shots at the TNA title, Harris lifted the title above his head and told the TNA roster if they want this they have to earn it just like he has. However with the 2 year anniversary coming up at TNA101, Harris wants to cement his legacy and will defend his title that night against a man he and TNA management believe deserves a shot at the TNA title and this Wednesday live on Pay per View, Harris will announce who he will be defending his TNA title against to the man’s face! Harris noted that no one will doubt him following TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY and Harris will not quit on his dream of going down in history as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling.
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas dissected the words of TNA Champion, Chris Harris and wondered who Harris would reveal to be the top contender to the TNA title, they ruled out anyone Harris has already defended against when James Storm’s name was mentioned, Shawn Daivari piped up saying his doesn’t think Chris Harris would ever voluntarily give James Storm a shot at the TNA title and touched on their dislike for one another, Daivari also questioned whether Harris took a shot at Storm with his ‘quit line’. The 3 men they looked forward to what else was scheduled for TNA99 this Wednesday live on Pay per View…
TNA99| MAIN EVENT| STING V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL TNA T.V TITLE TOURNAMENT CONTINUES TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT CONTINUES TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS ANNOUCES WHO WILL CHALLENGE FOR THE TNA TITLE AT TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Video package aired starting at TNA41 where Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn to become the new TNA Tag Team champions. For over a year now AME have been the TNA Tag Team champions beating all comers including Lynn & Red, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and BG James & Ron Killings normally through taking a short cut and this plus their attitude where they think they are above the TNA Tag Team division has got them many enemies but while AME have been on top a strong TNA Tag Team Division has grown underneath AME and now every team in the Division is determined not only to become the TNA Tag Team Champions but to end the reign of Alpha Male Enterprise.
TNA91| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE BEAT GREATNESS & ZERO GRAVITY TO RETAIN THE TNA TAG TEAM TITLES… Borash, Daivari and Douglas spoke about how AME again cheated to retain their titles against GREATNESS & Zero Gravity in their Triple Threat match which came about after GREATNESS & Zero Gravity wrestled to a great time limit draw. Douglas praised AME for doing everything in their power to retain the richest prize in Tag Team wrestling the TNA Tag Team titles. GREATNESS & Zero Gravity earned another opportunity to prove they deserve the next shot at AME after they outlasted the entire TNA Tag Team division besides the champs in a 24 man 12 team elimination match…
MATCH 2| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) GREATNESS: 13 MATCHES/9 WINS – 69% WIN RATE (3RD OVERALL) ZERO GRAVITY: 27 MATCHES/19 WINS – 70% WIN RATE (2ND OVERALL) *Win rates only ranked after competing in 10 matches NOTE| OVER THE LAST 2 PAY PER VIEWS IN SINGLES ACTION, AUSTIN ARIES HAS PINNED PAUL LONDON WHILE RODERICK STRONG MADE MATT SYDAL TAP OUT! Mike Tenay and Don Callis back on commentary noted that Alpha Male Enterprise were not in the arena tonight and what was reported and what AME the tag champs actually said this past Wednesday appears to be true that they have no interest in this Best of 5 Series and their immediate focus is on Antonio Banks becoming the first ever TNA T.V Champion.
These two teams wrestled to a time limit drawback at TNA89 in a match which many call the greatest tag team match in the history of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling, well tonight’s match was just as good if not even better. 2 great matches tonight! Both teams put their bodies on the line and the fans were split between the two teams evenly it seemed. Loud a chant of this is awesome rang out throughout the contest. With the clock which appears on screen and on the big screen in the arena counting down it both teams came close to victory but in the end it was GREATNESS who has momentum on their side who took the first victory after Aries nailed London with a roaring elbow, Strong smashed London with a Gut buster before Aries dropped London on his head with a Brain buster and Strong locked London in his Strong Hold submission move for the tap out as Aries stopped Sydal from making the save.
RESULT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) VIA TAP OUT GREATNESS took Paul London apart at the end of the match. GREATNESS had their hand raised in victory before rolling out of the ring as Matt Sydal and the match official checked on Paul London. Don Callis said he has never seen GREATNESS look so good, and noted it just showed how much becoming the TNA Tag Team titles means to Aries & Strong. Tenay reminded Callis that at TNA98 they noted that if GREATNESS took the first match and with their singles victories behind them as well they believed there would be no stopping Austin Aries & Roderick Strong from earning the next shot at the TNA Tag Team Champions.
Back in the studio, Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas sang the praises of both teams while Douglas loved the clinical finish by Aries and Strong. Douglas said he was very impressed with them and then challenged Zero Gravity to step up saying we know how much GREATNESS wants to be the TNA Tag Team Champions it was now time for Zero Gravity to step up to the challenge.
Jeremy Borash ran through what we had saw tonight AJ Styles defeating Petey Williams as AJ was shown doing a TNA.Com interview about tonight’s match and his upcoming match against CM Punk at TNA100, we heard from TNA Champion, Chris Harris who was shown leaving the arena – Harris revealed that this Wednesday live on Pay per View he would announce the next challenger to his TNA title and then in the Main Event GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) won Match 1 of the Best of 5 Series – Aries and Strong were shown making their way back to their locker room before Borash told everyone to join TNA Wrestling this Wednesday live on Pay per View for TNA99 as a graphic appeared on screen, headlined by ‘The Icon’ Sting taking on ‘The Monster’ Abyss!

Big show lined up here for TNA 98. Not only the TNA Championship main event, but the final Pay-Per-View before iMPACT! debuts. Great touch of not only Chris Harris and CM Punk entering the arena, but Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles as well since they could play huge roles in the outcome of the title bout. Stellar opening contest with Roderick Strong picking up not only the win, but also the momentum heading into the beginning of the Best of 5 Series. I do anticipate a MOTY contender or more to come from this series, considering the talent involved. Somewhat surprised to see Hernandez advance over Frankie Kazarian, but seeing as how his next opponent is Bobby Roode, I think that's where the streak ends for him. Very heated segment between Styles and Punk. While the Steel Cage match could benefit from having the TNA Title implemented, it certainly doesn't need it to further the bad blood. Antonio Banks advancing in the T.V Championship Tournament was fine, though I don't see him having a chance at becoming the inaugural champion. Fine post-match stuff, though the discussion of the Tag Team Titles vastly overshadowed what was a big win for Banks. I will add that whoever wins the Best of 5 Series must be the ones to finally dethrone Alpha Male Enterprise. It wouldn't feel right otherwise. Quite the compelling interview with James Storm. It did a lot for his character, and through just that one piece, I'm even more invested in a future title reign for him. Great work on that. A rather simple win for Raven, which isn't an issue since the real story is with Chris Hero. Very interested what becomes of that program since Raven/Hero could be a big main event match up for a future event. I'm a bit unsure about having two tournaments at once, even with them being rather different from each other. Nonetheless Cliff Compton advancing made sense from a standpoint of knowing who he is currently better than I would if I were watching him as a rookie here. After quickly Googling Ken Phoenix and learning that he's Kenny Dykstra, I absolutely see him winning this tournament. Impactful and well-executed video package for Sting and Abyss' huge match next week. It was very easy to visualize and wrapped up the build perfectly. Lastly, a solid main event for the TNA Championship, and while I'm not the biggest fan of time limit draws, I understand why you chose to go that route. I do think that this gives Punk a legitimate reason to demand another title opportunity after he and Styles wrap up their feud in the Steel Cage. Plus, it expands the dark cloud looming over Harris as the TNA Champion.
The first edition of iMPACT! I do want to commend for managing to reach this point. Very few diaries reach any milestones and I'm glad that this one has reached multiple. Onto the show, a fitting opening contest to showcase two of the finer athletes in the company. AJ Styles going over was expected. Not a bad way at all for Petey Williams' undefeated streak to come to an end. Chris Harris' in-ring segment was fantastic. I'm really loving his reign so far, as well as the character development we're seeing for him as champion. He is defending against fitting challengers, but hasn't proven that he's better than all of them. I am majorly intrigued in finding out who will be his opponent for TNA101. James Storm was my initial thought, but I think that match is further off in the future and the words from the announce team solidified that in my mind. Nice way to close out iMPACT! with the first match in the Best of 5 Series. Part of me was surprised that GREATNESS got the win after Roderick Strong was victorious in singles action at TNA98, but at the same time, I feel assured now that Zero Gravity will ultimately come out on top in the series. Phenomenal work on both TNA98 and the first edition of iMPACT! A lof of great things set for the future, and it'll be interesting to see how the diary will change in the long-term with two shows on a weekly basis now.

It's time for the debut of iMPACT! Congratulations on the milestone. Bang-bang-fireworks-bang-bang! A fantastic way to kick things off in the iMPACT era with AJ Styles being the one to end the winning streak of Petey Williams. Definitely not a bad way to have your winning streak ended with it not being too long. A fun segment with Chris Harris, he is certainly a polarizing figure and it's very fun with him being the TNA Champion. I'm definitely intrigued by whom his opponent will end up being at TNA101... A great way to get the tag division up and promoted with the first of the best of five series matches with GREATNESS going over Zero Gravity; as I've said before, I'd be happy with either team winning and becoming the TNA Tag Team Champions. Looking forward to where you go from here with iMPACT and looking forward to the big events coming up.

TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown arriving at the arena. Later tonight Harris will announce face to face who he will be defending the TNA title against in 2 weeks at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
MATCH 1| DOUG WILLIAMS & HERNANDEZ V ERIC YOUNG W. BOBBY ROODE & PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE UK (Williams) and Mexico (Hernandez) versus Canada (Young & Williams) 3 men (Hernandez, Doug & Petey Williams) have all advanced in the TNA T.V title tournament while Eric Young is representing a fourth Bobby Roode who was sitting at ringside scouting while D’Amore was coaching Petey Williams who was looking to rebound from his first defeat this past Friday on iMPACT! to AJ Styles.
Petey Williams wasn’t able to rebound tonight as Doug Williams and Hernandez picked up the victory in what was a good match after Young mounted Hernandez in the corner only for Hernandez to push Young off the middle rope straight into the awaiting arms of Williams who in one motion dropped Young with a German supflex straight into a bridge. Petey Williams stood at ringside and watched as Doug Williams pinned Eric Young. RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS & HERNANDEZ VIA PIN FALL
Coach D’Amore told Petey Williams to leave ringside which Petey did but not until Petey had told a frustrated Bobby Roode, Doug Williams and Hernandez that he would become the first TNA T.V Champion. As Petey left and Hernandez and Williams celebrated Bobby Roode helped Eric Young to his feet at ringside but told the two men in the ring that Bobby Roode always gets what he wants and he wants the TNA T.V title!
Announcers at ringside discussed that tonight Shawn Daivari would speak with Heroes for Villains at the request of Chris Hero who wants to address Raven.
MATCH 2| TNA WRESTLING ACADEMY TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND JOHN WALTERS V JOHNNY DEVINE Cliff Compton, Ken Phoenix and Ryan O’Reilly have advanced so far in the tournament and the winner of tonight’s match would go on and face O’Reilly in the Semi Finals. Walters and Devine had a decent little match and in the end Walters scored the important victory after spiking Devine with a nice backpack stunner. Could the Killer Kowalski trained 24 year old from Massachusetts win a full time TNA Wrestling contract? RESULT| JOHN WALTERS VIA PIN FALL
Video package aired hyping tonight’s Main Event between ‘The Monster’ Abyss and ‘The Icon’ Sting. Abyss over the last 2 years has terrorised the TNA Wrestling roster causing Norman Smiley to retire and possibly ending the careers of three decorated champions, Sabu, Terry Funk and former TNA Champion, Low Ki. Abyss has now set his sights on Sting and has vowed that 2004 would be the last of Sting’s career – Abyss who has never been pinned in TNA has threatened to torture Sting before putting Sting out of his misery!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA98| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V CM PUNK WENT TO A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW…
Exclusive footage aired of CM Punk trashing the backstage area after last weeks Main Event. Punk was fuming after failing for a second time to become the TNA Champion. Punk’s recorded interview from earlier in the week then aired with Punk still angry. Punk said twice now he has challenged for the TNA title and twice now he has come away without the title even though he is yet to be beaten in either match. Tenay on commentary noted that Punk lost to AJ Styles. Punk will go down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time it’s Punk’s mission in life but now according to Chris Harris, Punk has had his shot and is out of the picture so now Punk has to make a statement, a statement so loud it can not be ignored and Punk will do that next week at TNA1OO inside a 15ft high Steel Cage! Punk warned AJ Style, telling AJ that AJ may think he’s coming into next week to get revenge and make a statement so AJ can get the next shot at the TNA title but the truth is next week CM Punk is going to make an example out of AJ Styles like he did to Raven which will send a message loud and clear to Chris Harris, TNA management and everyone else that CM Punk is coming for the TNA title and will get his shot one way or another and next time CM Punk will not fail! Punk finished up by again telling everyone that this is CM Punk’s world and everyone else is just living in it!
NEXT WEEK| TNA100| MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK|
Announcers at ringside noted that this Friday on iMPACT! Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas would look back over the history between AJ Styles and CM Punk ahead of their Steel Cage match next Wednesday at TNA100! Announcers then turned their attention to James Storm who is in action next…
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA97| MAIN EVENT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT JAMES STORM VIA TAP OUT…
Quick footage was shown from TNA98 last week where James Storm opened up about his defeat to Christopher Daniels. Storm was ashamed of tapping out so quickly admitting it was more psychological than anything else. Storm has struggled with the defeat but vowed to come back stronger saying he would never quit and will eventually earn the one opportunity he needs to become the TNA Champion.
MATCH 3| JAMES STORM V DUSTIN RHODES NOTE| JAMES STORM HAS WRESTLED MORE SINGLES MATCHES THAN ANYONE ELSE ON THE TNA ROSTER – STORM HAS WON 30 MATCHES SECOND ONLY TO TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS STAT| JAMES STORM HAS A 71% WIN RATE FROM 42 MATCHES – 6TH OVERALL James Storm is not the only one with something to prove, Dustin Rhodes has been very open with his desire of proving that he belongs on the TNA Roster. Rhodes is trying to turn his career around after some dark times.
Rhodes targeted Storm’s arm when the opportunity arose. Storm started slow maybe being a bit cautious in the opening minutes. While the match was a little slow paced it was a well wrestled wrestling match with both men hungry for the victory but in the end it was Storm that picked up the victory after Rhodes wanted a running bulldog but Storm pushed Rhodes off before Rhodes turned back into a Super kick from Storm. RESULT| JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL
James Storm let out a huge scream at the sound of the ring bell. Storm was pumped with the victory and once Storm rolled out of the ring he was joined by TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari. Storm told Daivari that was the most important victory of his career. Storm said what happened two weeks ago with him tapping to Christopher Daniels may have been a blessing because it was gave Storm a reality check, woke him up – Storm now knows how much this all means to him and Storm does not make any excuses and will not quit and eventually will get the one opportunity he needs to become the TNA Champion!
Rafters was shown from the ring as the announcers discussed whether Abyss was one challenge Sting would struggle to overcome, which could result in Sting’s legendary career ended right here tonight!
MATCH 4| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH AMAZING RED, CHRIS SABIN & JERRY LYNN V KID KASH & NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS NOTE| ALL 6 MEN WERE ENTERED IN THE TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT STATS| CHRIS SABIN HAS BEST WIN RATE OF THE 6 MEN WITH 64%; JERRY LYNN IS NEXT WITH 54% New Millennium made their biggest impression to date when they eliminated Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn the first ever TNA Tag Team champions from the 12 team elimination match at TNA94 while Chris Sabin will face Kid Kash next week at TNA100 in the first round of the TNA T.V title tournament. Jerry Lynn will also face Michael Shane this Friday on iMPACT! in another first round match.
Very good match between 6 of the more exciting talents on the TNA Wrestling roster all 6 got their moments to shine. Kid Kash despite his poor record is great at getting the fans to hate him while New Millennium do not struggle in that department either especially after their recent treatment of Traci Brooks while Lynn, Red & Sabin are 3 of the most popular wrestlers on the roster especially Chris Sabin who is a star clearly on the rise and it was Sabin who picked up the victory for his team after he pinned Kazarian following his Cradle shock. RESULT| AMAZING RED, CHRIS SABIN & JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL
Amazing Red, Jerry Lynn and Chris Sabin all celebrated after the bell as the announcers discussed the possibility of Lynn and Sabin facing one another in the TNA T.V title tournament in the next round if they are both successful in their respective first round matches. Announcers agreed that Chris Sabin and Jerry Lynn have to be considered two of the favourites to become the first TNA T.V Champion.
TNA Champion, Chris Harris was shown backstage signing a number of photographs as the announcers wondered when Harris would announce who he would be defending the TNA title against at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Quick footage was shown of Chris Hero offering Raven a spot in his Heroes for Villains family only for Raven to ignore Hero which led to Hero questioning the man Raven has become then last week Hero was again left angry when Raven refused to answer any questions regarding Chris Hero…
Shawn Daivari standing on the interview podium next to the stage welcomed his guests Heroes for Villains (Chris Hero and Briscoe Brothers, Brent Albright & Lance Archer). H4V surrounded Daivari on the podium intimidating Daivari. Daivari stuttering over his words noted that it was Hero that asked for this time. Hero told Daivari to stand there like a man or Lance Archer would toss him from the podium. Hero said he asked for this time to talk to Raven. Hero admitted to being hurt that Raven continues to ignore him. Hero would have loved to soak in Raven’s knowledge get inside Raven’s demented twisted head but Raven has decided he wants nothing to do with Heroes for Villains but Hero told Raven he has bad news for him because Raven doesn’t get to make that choice because now Heroes for Villains are going build their reputation of taking Raven apart. Hero said that a year or so ago this could have been a fun war, mind games etc but now Raven is a shambles of his former self and it will not take much for them to end Raven. Hero noted that Raven retains his bald scalp to remind him never to get complacent but it should remind Raven of the night Raven went soft lost his balls because CM Punk sacrificed Raven, broke Raven and now Chris Hero and Heroes for Villains are going to put Raven down and show everyone just how dark, evil, and sadistic they can be! Hero told Raven he has now been warned and that Raven should have just embraced the hate!
HIGHLIGHTS| iMPACT!| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) VIA TAP OUT
Announcers discussed the great first match between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity which saw GREATNESS take an early advantage in the Series. They then revealed that Match 2 would take place next week at TNA100 while Match 3 would take place at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY and if GREATNESS wins both matches they will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles.

MATCH 5| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND SONJAY DUTT V EKMO FATU W. ANTONIO BANKS NOTE| EKMO FATU WINS TONIGHT HE WOULD BE SCHEDULED TO FACE AME TEAM MATE ANTONIO BANKS IN THE NEXT ROUND! Recorded comments aired from the TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise before the match began. Monty Brown again mentioned how they are paying no attention to the Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to their TNA titles. AME said every team in TNA is beneath them and they will prove that by beating Bad Street Boys again on iMPACT!
Sonjay Dutt was giving up a lot of size and weight to Ekmo Fatu and it showed as Fatu dominated the contest from the opening bell and it wasn’t long before Fatu put Dutt away following a Samoan Drop. Following the bell as Ekmo Fatu stood tall in the ring Antonio Banks was shown looking concerned about having to face Fatu in the next round. Announcers questioned how AME would react to the fact Banks faces Fatu in the next round. RESULT| EKMO FATU VIA PIN FALL
Announcers at ringside discussed the upcoming TNA schedule and then took a look at the current top 10 based on win rates. To be included in the rankings you have had to have wrestled 10 matches and being currently active…
11.06.04 – TNA iMPACT!| Non-Title match| TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and TNA T.V title tournament| Jerry Lynn V Michael Shane w.

UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| STING V ABYSS…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT STING V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL STATS| STING HAS A 66% WIN RATE WITH 4 WINS FROM 6 MATCHES, STING’S ONLY LOSS CAME IN HIS FIRST MATCH TO CHRISTOPHER DANIELS STATS| ABYSS HAS A 79.17% WIN RATE THE HIGHEST OF ALL ACTIVE WRESTLERS IN TNA – ABYSS HAS ALSO NEVER BEEN PINNED IN 24 MATCHES Big fight atmosphere in the arena as Sting and Abyss stood in opposite corners with Jim Mitchell in Abyss’ ear ordering Abyss to end Sting’s career tonight. During the match Mitchell told the announcers for Abyss it wasn’t about beating Sting but ending Sting’s career.
Sting was up for the fight not backing down from Abyss; tonight was the first time since joining TNA that Sting was the smaller man in the match. Sting came close to pinning Abyss following a supflex from the top rope but as the match wore on it seemed like there would only be one victor and it wasn’t Sting but like Mitchell noted to the announcers Abyss was looking to hurt Sting. Sting fought back and at one point tried to lock Abyss in his Scorpion Death lock but Abyss powered out and then quickly planted Sting with a Choke slam but instead of going for the victory. Abyss ordered Mitchell set up a table outside of the ring while Abyss picked up Sting’s baseball bat from the corner. Match official ordered Abyss put down the weapon but Abyss floored the official causing the official to call off the match awarding Sting the victory via disqualification. RESULT| STING VIA DISQUALIFICATION
Abyss stalked Sting with the bat only for Sting to fire back at Abyss causing Abyss to drop the bat. Sting managed to catch Abyss with a couple of Stinger splashes but then Abyss cut Sting off with a boot to the face before hurting Sting with his back breaking Shock Treatment. Abyss then like he did to Sabu, Low Ki and Terry Funk pressed Sting over his head looking to drop Sting from the ring through a table at ringside but Sting luckily managed to get behind Abyss grab his bat and nail Abyss in the gut then behind the knee with the bat before clotheslining Abyss over the top rope with the bat. Abyss was livid but Jim Mitchell called Abyss off.
Abyss under orders from Jim Mitchell backed up the aisle with Mitchell telling Abyss that they would get Sting another night as Sting stood on the ropes pointing at Abyss with his bat when all of a sudden the lights went out in the arena…
A man dropped from the rafters behind Sting and when Sting turned around and the lights in the arena came back on Chris Harris the TNA Champion was standing opposite Sting pointing at Sting while holding the TNA title high above his head! Chris Harris will defend the TNA title in two weeks at TNA101 against ‘The Icon’ Sting. Sting was the last man to beat Chris Harris. Fans were on their feet as Harris and Sting continued to stare at one another as TNA99 went off the air.

Fans were shown in the arena pumped ready for the second episode of TNA iMPACT! on Fox Sports before we joined host Jeremy Borash in the studio again joined by TNA Analyst ‘The Franchise’ Shane Douglas and TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari. Borash welcomed everyone to the show before Borash & Douglas hyped tonight’s card which would also include an appearance by the first ever TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.

TNA iMPACT! TONIGHT!! NON TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS)!
A second quick video package aired looking at Alpha Male Enterprises’ (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) 15 month reign as the TNA Tag Team champions and their two previous victories over Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews). BSB have not responded well to the second defeat and after their last match were accused by the announcers of having ran out of fight after continuous set backs.
Earlier today TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) were shown entering the arena with the rest of their entourage fellow AME members Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu and AME Security. Footage was then shown of Christopher Daniels arriving at the arena in a chauffeur driven Range Rover. As Daniels exited the vehicle the announcers discussed Daniels latest victory over James Storm at TNA97.
TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! matches have a 20 minute time limit…
Jeremy Borash introduced the broadcast team for all TNA iMPACT! matches Mike Tenay and Don Callis…
MATCH 1| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| 1ST ROUND JERRY LYNN V MICHAEL SHANE W. TRACI BROOKS JERRY LYNN: FORMER TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPION – 18 WINS FROM 31 MATCHES – 58% WIN RATE (10TH BEST OVERALL) MICHAEL SHANE: 7 WINS FROM 19 MATCHES – 36% WIN RATE (16TH OVERALL) NOTE| TNA96| NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) ELIMINATED AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN DURING THE 12 TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH MAIN EVENT New Millennium have been making some noise over the last few weeks with their victory over the first ever TNA Tag Team Champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn plus their treatment of Alexis Laree the former girlfriend of Michael Shane who traded Laree in for New Millennium. Tenay noted that earlier today he spoke with Jerry Lynn who admitted to Tenay that the thought of becoming the first ever TNA T.V Champion excites him.
Lynn and Shane had a very good match, both men are at different stages of their careers but both men put in a strong performance tonight and it was Lynn who managed to pick up the victory and advance to the next round in the TNA T.V title tournament after planting Shane with his TKO. RESULT| JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL
Jerry Lynn celebrated his victory while the Michael Shane regrouped at ringside with Traci Brooks and the announcers discussed the thought of Jerry Lynn becoming the first ever TNA T.V Champion. Lynn has made history already in TNA by becoming one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team Champions, could Jerry Lynn be on the verge of making history once again.
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas discussed the TNA T.V title tournament before turning their attention to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels who we would hear from momentarily but before hand a video package aired looking over the TNA career of the first ever TNA Champion. Daniels debuted at TNA04 and only 6 weeks later at TNA10 – Daniels beat the entire TNA Roster in the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match to become the first ever TNA Champion. Daniels has beat every man put in front of him including current champion, Chris Harris as well the likes of AJ Styles, CM Punk, James Storm, Low Ki plus Daniels is the only man to have beaten ‘The Icon’ Sting! Daniels has only been defeated by former TNA Champions, AJ Styles and Low Ki and recently Daniels has been hell bent on reclaiming the TNA title…
Christopher Daniels was in the middle of the ring when we returned with a microphone in hand. Daniels dressed smart as always tonight in a suit told everyone that he was sick of talking repeating himself time and time again but Daniels will tell his story one last time to the new viewers of TNA iMPACT! Daniels is the first ever TNA Champion an honest man who defended his title proudly against all challengers, making history time and time again until TNA management and the fans got greedy and Daniels was over worked and eventually lost the TNA title to Low Ki not because Low Ki was the better man but because Daniels had been worked to the point of exhaustion. Even though Daniels has beat every man put in front of him AJ Styles, Low Ki, James Storm, CM Punk, Chris Harris and is the only man to have beaten Sting and currently stands at the top of the TNA rankings he has had to watch others get a shot at his title before him but now Daniels has had enough and as everyone seen at TNA97 when Daniels made James Storm quit, give up on his dream – Daniels has never been better and one day soon Christopher Daniels will once again be the TNA Champion because simply Christopher Daniels is the best and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
Borash & Douglas discussed Christopher Daniels’ comments and admitted they find it hard to disagree with Daniels comments like him or not and possibly the only other people who could possibly rival Daniels as the true top contender to the TNA title are AJ Styles or Sting who will challenge Chris Harris at TNA101. Douglas did note that CM Punk could jump to the front of the queue if he beats AJ Styles this Wednesday inside a Steel Cage live on Pay per View. Borash & Douglas then ran through the upcoming TNA schedule and had a look at the TNA rankings…
Up Coming Schedule 16.06.04 – TNA100| Main Event| Steel Cage Match| AJ Styles V CM Punk plus Best of 5 Series| Match 2| 1-0| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) V Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London)! 23.06.04 – TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| Main Event| TNA Championship| © Chris Harris V Sting plus Best of 5 Series| Match 3| 1-0| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) V Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London)!
TNA Top 10 Rankings: 10th – Jerry Lynn 58.06% [-] 9th – Doug Williams 64.29% [-] 8th – Chris Sabin 65.63% [-] 7th – CM Punk 67.57% [-] 6th – James Storm 72.09% [-] 5th – Chris Hero 73.33% [-] 4th – AJ Styles 74.36% [-] 3rd – Abyss 76.00% [-2] 2nd – TNA Champion, Chris Harris 78.05% [+1] 1st – Christopher Daniels 78.13% [+1]
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari repeated what was mentioned this past Wednesday at TNA99 that it has never been more important to be apart of the TNA top 10 and revealed there would be a huge announcement at TNA101 concerning this. Daivari also noted that TNA management are also working on a huge surprise for the 2nd Year Anniversary Pay per View. Daivari also confirmed that this Wednesday we would see the contract signing between TNA Champion, Chris Harris and Sting for their TNA title match scheduled to take place at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
MATCH 2| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) BAD STREET BOYS: 21 WINS FROM 39 MATCHES – 53.85% WIN RATE (8TH BEST OVERALL) ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE: TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| 22 WINS FROM 27 MATCHES – 81.48% WIN RATE (1ST BEST OVERALL) HIGHLIGHTS| TNA iMPACT!| 04.06.04| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 1| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) NOTE| TNA100| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 2| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)! Pre match comments aired before hand from both teams where Bad Street Boys promised to turn things back around tonight saying their slump started at the hands of AME and it ends when they beat AME in the middle of the ring proving to everyone what they already know that Bad Street Boys have what it takes to become the TNA Tag Team Champions!
AME said it’s getting boring beating Bad Street Boys now, been there done that said Monty Brown. Brown said it’s getting that way with the whole division now, AME have completely dominated the TNA Tag Team Division and now move on to the singles Division when the MVP of AME, Antonio Banks becomes the first ever TNA T.V Champion. Mike Tenay reminded viewers that AME member Ekmo Fatu was also in the TNA T.V title tournament and Fatu and Banks were scheduled to meet one another in the next round.
Another good match between the two teams and BSB brought the fight to AME who may have been too relaxed tonight against a team who are desperate to turn things around and once again challenge for the TNA Tag Team titles but again AME had to much for Matthews and York and AME took the victory after Brown ran through Matthews with his Pounce. RESULT| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE VIA PIN FALL
Elix Skipper and Monty Brown celebrated their victory while AME Security paraded around the ring showing off the TNA Tag Team titles. Tenay & Callis advised that after BSB gave AME a hard fought match tonight that AME should get back in the zone because if an arrogant unfocused AME defends the TNA Tag Team titles against either GREATNESS or Zero Gravity then there would be new TNA Tag Team Champions crowned.
Back in the studio with Jeremy Borash & Shane Douglas as they discussed tonight’s show as Jerry Lynn was shown changing in his locker room and AME were shown celebrating drinking champagne in the hallway before they turned their attention to TNA100 this Wednesday which would be headlined by ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles taking on the ‘Second City Saint’ CM Punk inside a Steel Cage match before introducing a video package looking over the history between AJ Styles and CM Punk.
Video included the war AJ Styles and CM Punk had back at TNA70| Make or Break when AJ Styles successfully retained his TNA title against CM Punk. CM Punk failing to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and become the top contender to the TNA title at TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold which was won by Chris Harris. Punk demanded a shot at AJ Styles before Harris got his shot but due to AJ being injured by Punk in their match AJ could not defend his title against Punk before his scheduled defence against Harris. Punk feeling AJ Styles screwed him out of his shot then cost AJ Styles the TNA title! Since then both AJ Styles and CM Punk have failed to become the TNA Champion both wrestling Chris Harris to time limit draws but before men are two things revenge and another shot at the TNA title which the winner of their Steel Cage match should be in line for. Video finished with AJ Styles telling CM Punk he has been waiting 7 months for this match and everyone would see a different side of AJ Styles and AJ would finally get his revenge. While CM Punk reminded everyone that it is his mission in life to go down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time and at TNA100, Punk will make his biggest statement yet when he sacrifices AJ Styles in their Steel Cage match then everyone will realise that they are living in CM Punk’s world. iMPACT! went off the air with a graphic hyping the Steel Cage match between AJ Styles and CM Punk this Wednesday at TNA100!

EVERY FRIDAY| LIVE ON FOX SPORTS| TNA iMPACT!
TNA100 opened with footage from earlier today the production crew was being filmed testing erected the Steel Cage which would be used for tonight’s Main Event between AJ Styles and CM Punk when CM Punk entered the cage and sat in the middle of the ring before speaking into the camera. Punk said tonight it would be the symbol versus the censored. The man TNA wants to lead them into the future against the man who will lead TNA into the future. Punk smiled into the camera and said tonight he sacrifices AJ Styles and finally 100 Pay per Views later everyone will realise this is CM Punk’s world and everyone else is just living in it!
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay welcomed everyone watching to the 100th TNA Pay per View. Tenay noted that next week TNA celebrates its 2 year anniversary while tonight they celebrate reaching their 100th Pay per View. Tenay introduced his broadcast partners Jeremy Borash & Don Callis they hyped tonight’s Main Event as the Steel Cage was shown hanging above the ring. The rest of tonight’s card was hyped including Match 2 of the Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London). Also tonight, a big match signed earlier this week will take place when the undefeated Hernandez challenges the first ever TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels.

MATCH 1| BEST OF 5 SERIES MATCH 2 (1-0) GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) NOTE| ZERO GRAVITY HAVE FAILED TO BEAT GREATNESS IN ANY OF THEIR PAST MEETINGS (5) IN ALL COMPETITIONS Been said in all of their previous encounters but GREATNESS & Zero Gravity create magic every time they are in the ring together and tonight was no exception. GREATNESS was full of confidence coming out of Match 1 where they took Paul London apart to take the first match. London & Sydal showed more intensity tonight from the bell.
Again it was noted by the announcers that TNA Tag Team Champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) were not here tonight again showing their lack of respect to the TNA Tag Team division. AME were victorious on iMPACT! Against Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) who were shown watching backstage during the match.
Like their first ever meeting GREATNESS and Zero Gravity wrestled to a time limit draw and while Zero Gravity started off strong GREATNESS came back into the match and were looking the stronger team in the closing minutes and if there was a couple more minutes available GREATNESS may have picked up their second victory but despite that GREATNESS will be the happier of the two teams because after the opening 2 matches they lead Zero Gravity, who may now be asking themselves can they beat Austin Aries & Roderick Strong? RESULT| TIME LIMIT DRAW
Both teams received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance afterwards as Mike Tenay noted that Match 3 of the Best of 5 Series would take place next week at TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Quick footage was shown from the end of TNA99 last week where Chris Harris the TNA Champion, confronted ‘The Icon’ Sting naming Sting the top contender to his TNA title. Next week ‘The Icon’ Sting challenges for the TNA Championship but tonight Sting and Chris Harris would make their match official with a contract signing in the middle of the ring.
TONIGHT| CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
MATCH 2 SONJAY DUTT V PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE NOTE| PETEY WILLIAMS AFTER WINNING HIS FIRST 4 MATCHES HAS LOST HIS LAST 2 MATCHES AND CURRENTLY HAS A 66% WIN RATE Petey Williams after winning his first four matches was challenged to step up his competition. Coach D’Amore promised before Williams’ debuted that Petey Williams was the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada and would change everything. Williams did impress against former TNA Champion, AJ Styles and is still in the TNA T.V Championship Tournament. Williams returned to winning ways tonight over the always exciting Sonjay Dutt after spiking Dutt with his dangerous Canadian Destroyer. RESULT| PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Following the match as what is tradition if Petey Williams is successful, Coach D’Amore demanded a number of replays aired showing the Canadian Destroyer which they did as officials checked on Dutt. An irate Coach D’Amore again claimed that Petey Williams was the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada plus vowed Petey Williams would become the first ever TNA T.V Champion!
Announcers said Chris Sabin and Kid Kash who meet later tonight in the last 1st round match of the TNA T.V Championship Tournament may disagree with Coach D’Amore but they turned their attention to tonight’s next match which would see the undefeated Hernandez take on Christopher Daniels. Hernandez was shown backstage getting ready for tonight’s match. Jeremy Borash mentioned how with tonight’s match whatever the outcome Hernandez’ win rate becomes active because tonight is his 10th match, Borash also noted how being in the top 10 is more important than ever before because next week TNA management are promising a big announcement concerning the top 10 rankings. Footage was then shown from iMPACT! Where Christopher Daniels claimed to be the best due to his past achievements first ever TNA Champion, the men he has beaten and the fact that he is currently number 1 in the rankings…
MATCH 3 HERNANDEZ V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS STATS| HERNANDEZ HAS A 100% WIN RATE FROM 9 MATCHES – CHRISTOPHER DANIELS HAS 78% WIN RATE FROM 32 MATCHES Christopher Daniels feels hard done at the minute after believing Chris Harris took the easy way out of their recent TNA title match. Daniels has not lost to TNA Champion, Harris in 3 matches. Harris has since refused to grant Daniels a rematch so Daniels took out his frustration on James Storm and scored what may have been his most impressive victory to date when Daniels made Storm who was one match away from a TNA title shot himself tap out at TNA97.
‘Mexican Muscle’ Hernandez has impressed in his short time in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling and will leave tonight as number 1 in the rankings regardless of the outcome. Hernandez is currently one of the favourites to become the first TNA T.V Champion.
Hernandez and Daniels had a very good match with Hernandez looking to be the first non former TNA Champion to beat Christopher Daniels but it wasn’t to be tonight. Hernandez came close but in the end Daniels became the first man to beat Hernandez after Daniels dropped Hernandez face first on the middle turnbuckle before planting Hernandez with an uranage before pinning Hernandez following his Best Moonsault Ever. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari spoke with Christopher Daniels at ringside following the bell. Daniels told Daivari that he has beaten everyone put in front of him. Daniels told Daivari that in a couple of minutes he is going to be standing in the middle of Chris Harris and Sting as they sign the contract for their TNA title match but Daniels wants Daivari to tell them that whoever wins Christopher Daniels is coming for the TNA title! Daniels said others like CM Punk, AJ Styles, James Storm and others may say the same but the difference is Christopher Daniels is a man of his word and simply the best!
AJ Styles was shown backstage getting taped up for tonight’s Main Event. AJ Styles has been after revenge on CM Punk since Punk cost AJ his TNA Championship at the start of the year, will tonight be the night AJ Styles finally gets his revenge?
NEXT WEEK| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V STING!
Ring was now set up for the contract signing as TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari stood in the middle of the ring. Daivari confirmed that next week in the Main Event of TNA’s 2 Year Anniversary celebration Chris Harris would defend his TNA title against ‘The Icon’ Sting! Footage was then shown from the debut edition of TNA iMPACT! Where Chris Harris revealed that at TNA99 he would confront the man he and TNA management agree is the most deserving of a shot at the TNA title then last week after Sting had beaten Abyss via disqualification, Chris Harris ala Sting dropped from the rafters and confronted ‘The Icon’ Sting.
Chris Harris music hit in the arena and the TNA Champion made his way out dressed in his blazer and jeans with his TNA title over his shoulder. Harris entered the ring and shook hands with Daivari before awaiting the arrival of Sting. Lights went out in arena before a spotlight hit the ring as Sting dropped from the rafters joining Harris and Daivari in the middle of the ring. Sting showing no emotion just stared at a smirking champion. Daivari asked both men to sign the contract which they did, Harris first. Daivari then handed both men a microphone before stepping back allowing them to address one another.
Chris Harris told Sting it will be an honour defending the TNA Championship against him next week in the Main Event of the 2 Year Anniversary show. Harris since January has been proving without question not only does he deserve to be TNA Champion but also that he will go down in history as one of the great TNA Champions but that is not enough for Harris he wants to go down as not only the best TNA Champion off all time but also the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling similar to how Sting was for WCW and to do that Harris is willing to face the best and they don’t get much better than Sting who is the only black cloud hanging over his head as Sting was the last man to beat Chris Harris all the way back at TNA58 last August. Sting quickly responded taken Harris back with the words and all Sting did was repeat Harris’ words “only black cloud” questioning Harris reign as Champion which clearly aggravated the TNA Champion. Harris gritted his teeth and told Sting that next week he would retain his TNA title against Sting.
Sting immediately questioned Harris, retain not beat? Sting asked Harris if he believes he can beat Sting. Sting told Harris that last week Chris Harris may have made the biggest mistake of his life because Sting and everyone else knows that Sting can beat Chris Harris and next week Sting will beat Chris Harris and become the new TNA Champion! Chris Harris snapped and accused Sting of disrespecting him by questioning his reign as TNA Champion stating that he works harder than anyone in this business. Harris brought up Sting asking Harris if he would be able to shake Sting’s hand after their first match and Harris admitted he never got the chance and tonight Harris was going to come out here and offer his hand to Sting and congratulate Sting on his previous victory but now Sting can forget it but now Harris wants to ask Sting whether Sting will be able to shake his hand after Harris beats Sting in the middle of the ring next week and retains his TNA Championship! Harris stormed out of the ring as Sting told the fans that it was Show time! Chris Harris was fuming as he stormed back up the aisle.
Christopher Daniels was shown watching on a monitor backstage as was the two men taking part in tonight’s Main Event, AJ Styles and CM Punk.
Video package aired looking at what has happened so far during the TNA T.V Championship Tournament which has so far saw Bobby Roode, Doug Williams, Petey Williams, Hernandez, Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu and Jerry Lynn advance to the next round. Up next both Chris Sabin and Kid Kash will be looking to join them. Who will make history and become the first ever TNA T.V Champion!
MATCH 4| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND CHRIS SABIN V KID KASH NOTE| KID KASH IS A FORMER ECW T.V CHAMPION – CHRIS SABIN WON THE FIRST EVER TNA NEXT STEP TOURNAMENT Pre match comments aired from Chris Sabin. Sabin said he is excited to get stuck into the TNA T.V title tournament and testing himself against the hungriest men on the roster but people should know by now that there is no one hungrier than Chris Sabin, Sabin has made history before and plans on doing it again by becoming the first TNA T.V Champion.
Kash and Sabin had a good match. Kash tried to bully Sabin but Sabin wouldn’t allow it and showed a tough side of his character which most knew existed from his ladder match war against Chris Hero. Sabin became the last man to advance to the quarter finals of the TNA T.V title tournament after planting Kash with his Cradle shock. Chris Sabin has to be classed among the favourites to win the TNA T.V title but in the next round will face a tough challenge when he faces former World Champion and former TNA Tag Team Champion, Jerry Lynn. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL
Video package aired looking back over the history between AJ Styles and CM Punk ahead of tonight’s Steel Cage match Main Event. AJ beat CM Punk in a war to retain his TNA title. Punk demanded a rematch but AJ was not cleared to compete in time plus had a scheduled TNA title defence to make against Chris Harris. Believing AJ and TNA management was against him, Punk in the eyes of many cost AJ Styles the TNA Championship at the start of the year. Both men are desperate to be the TNA Champion and both men are convinced the other cost them the TNA title, tonight both men are looking for revenge and one man will get it inside a 15 foot high Steel Cage!
MATCH 5 JOHN WALTERS & KEN PHOENIX V CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY These four TNA Wrestling Academy students are the semi finalists in the tournament to earn a full time contract and spot on the TNA Roster. Phoenix will meet Compton in one Semi and Walters will go up against O’Reilly in the other. Tonight the larger O’Reilly and Compton dominated and actually pinned both men at the same time after Compton nearly took Walters head off with a discus clothesline and O’Reilly planted Phoenix with a his Claw Slam. RESULT| CLIFF COMPTON & RYAN O’REILLY VIA PIN FALL
Ahead of tonight’s Main Event the announcers discussed what was scheduled to take place this Friday on iMPACT! Before looking at the updated TNA top 10 rankings…
18.06.04| TNA iMPACT! MAIN EVENT| RAVEN V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL! Plus ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm will be in action plus there will be action from the TNA Tag Team Division when BG James & Ron Killings team up to take on Box Office (Johnny Curtis & Robbie Eckos).
Quick comments aired from both Raven and ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Jim Mitchell told Sting he was stupid and mistaken if he thinks things are done between them. Mitchell warned Sting that he doesn’t just get to walk away free from the monster and challenge for the TNA Championship! Mitchell said Abyss is angry and this Friday will take out all of his anger out on Raven and maybe Raven will end up like Low Ki, Sabu and Terry Funk! Raven told Chris Hero that he has heard the words coming out of his mouth the last couple of weeks and next week Raven has agreed to face one of Hero’s followers in the middle of the ring but before then on iMPACT! Raven will take on ‘The Monster’, Raven said Hero is questioning whether Raven has gone soft, well Raven’s asking Chris Hero to watch what Raven does to Abyss this Friday on iMPACT! Then Hero will have his answer – Quote the Raven, never more!
TNA Top 10 Rankings: 10th – Jerry Lynn 59.38% [-] 9th – Doug Williams 64.29% [-] 8th – Chris Sabin 65.63% [-] 7th – CM Punk 67.57% [-] 6th – James Storm 72.09% [-] 5th – Chris Hero 73.33% [-] 4th – AJ Styles 74.36% [-] 3rd – Abyss 76.00% [-] 2nd – TNA Champion, Chris Harris 78.05% [-] 1st – Christopher Daniels 78.13% [-] *Does not include tonight’s Matches
UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES V CM PUNK…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT STEEL CAGE MATCH AJ STYLES V CM PUNK STATS| AJ STYLES HAS A 74% WIN RATE FROM 39 MATCHES (4TH) – CM PUNK HAS A 67% WIN RATE FROM 37 MATCHES (7TH) HIGHLIGHTS| TNA70| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES BEAT CM PUNK A match which has been 7 months in the making since AJ retained the TNA title over CM Punk back in November 03’ and it did not disappoint neither man held back and they were intent on hurting the other.
Rules of a TNA Steel Cage match are you can either win by pin fall, submission (verbal or tap out) or referee stoppage.
The priority for both men coming into this match was to get revenge over the other but both knew also that a victory would also get them a step closer to a shot at the TNA Championship something both men are desperate for. Punk worked over AJ’s back which was hurt in their original encounter in November. The cage was also used as a weapon on a number of occasions at one point Punk power bombed AJ into the cage and later Punk hit his high knee to the face as AJ’s face was resting against the steel mesh.
AJ wasn’t shy about using the cage himself and AJ actually left Punk a bloody mess after grating Punk’s forehead against the mesh. CM Punk was bleeding all over the place; the ring was covered in Punk’s blood. Both men came close to the victory. Punk scored near falls after an uranage and a shining wizard but his closest fall came after AJ missed his Spiral Tap off the top rope and Punk dragged himself on top of an exhausted hurt AJ but AJ kicked out at the last second. AJ scored many near falls himself especially after a reverse DDT, AJ even managed to hit a Styles Clash but CM Punk actually managed to kick out!
In the end AJ and Punk were fighting on the top turnbuckle which Punk got the better off so Punk set AJ up for a power bomb from the top rope only for AJ to reverse into a top rope hurricane rona but on impact Punk unbelievably held on rolling AJ up with a sunset flip but AJ countered again by rolling through to his feet where AJ pulled Punk up into position for his second Styles Clash of the match which AJ hit in the middle of the ring which was enough for the hard fought victory over the bloody beaten CM Punk. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL
AJ Styles and CM Punk lay exhausted on the mat as the fans were on their feet and the announcers praised their efforts. When AJ Styles and CM Punk meet in the middle of the ring they go to war and tonight was no exception, a huge victory for AJ Styles, following up on from his recent victories over Petey Williams, Bobby Roode and Chris Sabin.
As the cage was lifted match officials and paramedics entered to check on both AJ Styles and CM Punk who was still down in the ring. Announcers asked everyone to join them this Friday for TNA iMPACT! On Fox Sports and next week for TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSAY where Chris Harris will defend his TNA Championship against ‘The Icon’ Sting.
TNA100 went off the air as CM Punk rolling out of the ring and AJ Styles the former TNA Champion and the man many see as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling finally getting back to his feet with the help of the ring ropes having his hand raised in victory by the match official. AJ Styles has finally got his revenge on the man (CM Punk) who cost him the TNA Championship.

TNA iMPACT! TONIGHT!! RAVEN V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL!
Raven has vowed to prove to Heroes for Villains that he has not gone soft while ‘The Monster’ Abyss is angry due to the outcome of his recent match against ‘The Icon’ Sting and Jim Mitchell has vowed Abyss will take his frustration out on Raven tonight. Also James Storm will be in action as he looks to earn his opportunity at the TNA Championship.
TIME LIMIT All TNA iMPACT! matches have a 20 minute time limit…
Still shots were shown TNA100 this past Wednesday where TNA Champion, Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting signed the contract to make their TNA Championship match official and AJ Styles beat a bloody CM Punk in the Main Event inside a 15ft Steel Cage.
MATCH 1| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS V BOX OFFICE (JOHNNY CURTIS & ROBBIE ECKOS) BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS: 16 WINS FROM 26 MATCHES – 61% WIN RATE BOX OFFICE: 2 WINS FROM 7 MATCHES – 28% WIN RATE Box Office were already in the middle of the ring wearing their trademark bright shirts with headsets on which are used as a microphone. The obnoxious pair told the fans in attendance and watching at home that tonight all the new viewers on Fox Sports are about to witness greatness the greatest tag team in the world today, they are… MONEY… they are… MAIN EVENT… they are… BOX OFFICE!
Everyone’s attention in the TNA tag team division currently is on the Best of 5 Series between GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles but both teams here tonight are looking to get themselves into contention for a future shot at the TNA Tag Team titles. Two teams had a fairly decent match but it was the more experienced BG James & Ron Killings who came away with the victory after BG James took care of Curtis allowing Killings to pin Eckos following his Axe kick. RESULT| BG JAMES & RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA100| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 2| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW 23.06.04| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 3| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio talked about the ongoing Best of 5 Series hyping Match 3 scheduled for this Wednesday on Pay per View. Douglas noted that Zero Gravity may be asking themselves whether or not they can beat GREATNESS.
Video package aired looking over ‘The Monster’ Abyss’s dominance over the TNA roster. Abyss has beaten the likes of former TNA Champion, AJ Styles, CM Punk and James Storm he also injured and potentially ended the careers of former TNA Champion, Low Ki, Sabu and Terry Funk. Abyss has a 76% win rate from 25 matches but more impressive is that Abyss has never been pinned.
Heroes for Villains (Chris Hero, Brent Albright, Briscoe Brothers and Lance Archer) were shown sitting backstage ready to watch Raven in action who Chris Hero has accused of going soft…
MATCH 2| RAVEN V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL RAVEN: 10 WINS FROM 19 MATCHES – 52% WIN RATE ABYSS: 19 WINS FROM 25 MATCHES – 76% WIN RATE NOTE| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| RAVEN V BRENT ALBRIGHT W. HEROES FOR VILLAINS Raven never backed down from the clearly angry Abyss who was intent on hurting Raven tonight. Raven frustrated Abyss at times but for the majority of the match once Abyss got his hands on Raven, Raven was in trouble much to the delight of Chris Hero who was shown watching backstage throughout the match.
Jim Mitchell was screaming at Abyss to hurt Raven. Mitchell trying to send a message to Sting via Raven but then something happened Abyss had Raven over his shoulders looking for his Shock Treatment but Raven managed to escape getting behind Abyss but as Raven moved behind Abyss he had hold of Abyss’ face/mask – Abyss then dropped to his knees and rolled up the ring hurrying up the ramp covering his face much to the confusion of everyone including Jim Mitchell but then the reason became clear Raven was standing in the middle of the ring holding Abyss’ mask!! Jim Mitchell was screaming at Raven telling him he had made the biggest mistake of his life before following Abyss up the ramp as the match official counted Abyss out. RESULT| RAVEN VIA COUNT OUT
Raven has just unmasked ‘The Monster’ Abyss! Replays aired showing Abyss run up the ramp, Abyss face was not caught on camera. Announcers could not believe Raven has just unmasked the most dangerous man in professional wrestling today led by the man with the most sadistic mind. Fans and announcers were in shock at what had just happened here on iMPACT! As Raven held up Abyss’ mask as trophy while leaning down into the camera sending a message to Chris Hero and Heroes for Villains. Cameras went backstage to show the room where H4V were watching was now empty.
More replays aired showing Raven unmasking Abyss before we rejoined Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas in the studio. Douglas could barely find the words to describe what we had just seen. Douglas said he has known Raven for a long time and he has seen Raven do some crazy things but what we had just seen Raven unmasking Abyss may have been the craziest. Douglas is worried that Raven only did it out of depression to prove a point to Chris Hero that he has not gone soft and that may come back to haunt Raven.
Borash, Douglas and Shawn Daivari then spoke about TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY this Wednesday live on Pay per View before a video package aired replaying key moments from TNA100 this past Wednesday before they looked at the updated TNA Top 10 rankings.
TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © CHRIS HARRIS V STING BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 3| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) RAVEN V BRENT ALBRIGHT AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN V NEW MILLENNIUM (FRANKIE KAZARIAN & MICHAEL SHANE) W. TRACI BROOKS
Shawn Daivari also noted that there would be a major announcement concerning the TNA Top 10 rankings, also as it’s the start of a “New TNA Year’ everyone’s record will be cleared and everyone starts from fresh. Daivari also revealed that last week he mentioned how TNA was working on a signing a new talent who would debut at the 2 year anniversary show well now Daivari can confirm this wrestler will make his debut this Wednesday but further to that this wrestler has requested he compete and one man has stepped up and demanded to take this match none other than… AJ Styles!
Announcers debated the condition of AJ Styles who was in war inside a Steel Cage this past Wednesday. AJ Styles is hungry to prove he deserves a shot at the TNA Championship.
Video package aired looking back at TNA100 this past Wednesday where GREATNESS and Zero Gravity wrestled to a 20 minute time limit draw in Match 2 of the Best of 5 Series to determine the next contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Chris Sabin advanced to the Quarter finals of the TNA T.V Championship Tournament. Christopher Daniels was the first man to beat Hernandez and afterwards again let everyone know his intentions that he was coming after the TNA title. Sting and Chris Harris also signed the contract to make their TNA title match official but afterwards Harris got offended when Sting questioned Harris’ reign as TNA Champion then in the Main Event inside a 15 foot high Steel Cage – AJ Styles and CM Punk had another war which saw AJ over come a bloody CM Punk. AJ Styles finally getting his revenge on the man who cost him the TNA Championship.
TNA Top 10 Rankings: 10th – Doug Williams 64.29% [-1] 9th – CM Punk 65.79% [-2] 8th – Chris Sabin 66.67% [-] 7th – James Storm 72.09% [-1] 6th – Chris Hero 73.33% [-1] 5th – AJ Styles 75.00% [-1] 4th – Abyss 76.00% [-1] 3rd – TNA Champion, Chris Harris 78.05% [-1] 2nd – Christopher Daniels 78.79% [-1] 1st – Hernandez 90.00% [NE] *Does not include tonight’s Matches
Quick video package aired looking back over James Storm’s last few weeks. TNA97, Storm hit an all time low after he lost his shot at the TNA Championship opportunity after tapping out to Christopher Daniels. Storm the week after admitted he hit rock bottom after the loss but was using the defeat to make himself stronger and Storm would do whatever it takes to get the one opportunity he needs to become the TNA Champion. Storm last week returned to the ring last week where he beat Dustin Rhodes in a result Storm called the most important of his career…
MATCH 3| JAMES STORM V KID KASH JAMES STORM: 31 WINS FROM 43 MATCHES – 72% WIN RATE KID KASH: 6 WINS FROM 28 MATCHES – 21% WIN RATE Kid Kash tried to rebound from being eliminated from the TNA T.V Championship Tournament by Chris Sabin this past Wednesday by going after Storm’s previously injured shoulder but Kash found a Storm on form tonight and Storm hit all of his big moves including his Eye of the Storm before pinning Kash following his Super kick. James Storm true to his word has responded well to tapping out to Christopher Daniels at TNA97. RESULT| JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL
James Storm was over the moon with the victory walked around the ring slapping hands with all the fans around ringside before Storm climbed upon the announcers table. Storm put on a Cowboy hat which a fan was wearing in the crowd before motioning for a beer with one hand and motioning for the TNA title with the other. Storm screamed out that he needs one shot, one opportunity!
Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas reviewed James Storm’s performance claiming Storm looked good tonight but what they questioned whether it was as easy as Storm was making out, to forget what happened at the hands of Christopher Daniels at TNA97 saying it will stay with James Storm forever and is now planted in Storm’s mind. James Storm can claim he is going to use the low as fuel to drive him to the TNA Championship but that remains to be seen.
Announcers again hyped TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY this Wednesday where TNA Champion; Chris Harris will defend the TNA title against ‘The Icon’ Sting. TNA iMPACT! Went off the air with one more replay of Raven unmasking Abyss earlier tonight before standing in the middle of the ring holding up Abyss’ mask like a trophy.

Crowd was hot and it helped tonight’s opening match which was more exciting than expected. James & Killings have a good record and if it was not for Alpha Male Enterprise’s dominance they may have held the TNA Tag Team titles at some point. New Millennium only has one victory to their name but they got everyone’s attention when they eliminated the first ever TNA Tag Team champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn back at TNA94. New Millennium picked up their biggest victory to date after Kazarian caught Killings with a pump kick as Killings was looking to hit Shane with his Axe kick, Shane then finished Killings of with a super kick. RESULT| NEW MILLENNIUM VIA PIN FALL
TNA champion, Chris Harris was shown arriving at the arena as the announcers discussed tonight’s Main Event where Harris will defend the TNA title against former World champion, ‘The Icon’ Sting.

Heroes for Villains were not at ringside tonight. Brent Albright is tough, hits very hard and brought the fight to Raven but Raven kept his recent winning streak going after catching Albright with his Even flow DDT. Straight after the bell Lance Archer entered the ring and attempted to take Raven’s head off with a running boot but Raven ducked and Archer crotched himself on the top rope. Chris Hero and the Briscoe Brothers then slid into the ring but Raven rolled out of the ring taunting a livid Chris Hero. RESULT| RAVEN VIA PIN FALL
TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson was standing backstage with former TNA champion, AJ Styles. Hudson congratulated AJ on his victory over CM Punk last week before asked AJ how he was feeling tonight and if it was a good idea to agree to face the newest TNA signing later tonight. Hudson noted we may not know who the signing is yet but he has to be in better condition than AJ considering AJ went through hell with CM Punk last week inside the Steel Cage. AJ told Hudson he was banged up but he also feels like a weight has been lifted of his shoulders now he has got revenge on CM Punk and AJ needs to start looking forward and once again getting his hands on the TNA championship and to do that AJ will step up face and beat anyone put in front of him. ‘Phenomenal One’ walked away as Scott Hudson noted that up next TNA management would make a huge announcement…
TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring told the fans he was out here tonight to make an announcement on behalf of TNA management. Daivari told the fans that TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling continues to grow as seen recently with the debut of TNA iMPACT! Live on Fox Sports and TNA management are continuing to look for ways to evolve the company and very soon plan to make further announcements but tonight Daivari has an announcement to make regarding the TNA Championship. As everyone knows TNA keeps a track record of all wrestlers win loss records and now TNA management have decided to reward the top 10 active wrestlers…
Graphics appeared on screen as Shawn Daivari announced the names… Hernandez, Raven, Jerry Lynn, CM Punk, Doug Williams, Chris Sabin, Chris Hero, James Storm, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels!
Daivari announced that these 10 men would meet in a TNA Championship Series facing off in a Round Robin format. 10 points for the win. 5 points for a time limit draw. 2 points for double count out draw/no contest. 0 points for a loss and minus 10 points for a loss via disqualification. Daivari noted that TNA management is hoping the TNA Championship Series would become an annual event and the 10 entrants would be decided on both the yearly and over all records. Matches would take place on the weekly Pay per Views, TNA iMPACT! and TNA.Com! All matches would have a 20 minute time limit regardless whether the match is the Main Event or not. 92 matches to determine the top contender to the TNA championship and it all starts this Friday on iMPACT!

Announcers spoke went over the names again before noting that Abyss was to be entered but Jim Mitchell pulled Abyss after what happened this past Friday on iMPACT! Announcers also noted that Bobby Roode was the man who just missed out on being entered into the tournament. Scott Hudson will speak with Chris Harris following Match 3 of the Best of 5 Series between GREATNESS and Zero Gravity…
FRIDAY ON IMPACT! 10 MAN BATTLE ROYAL| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V AJ STYLES V JAMES STORM V CHRIS HERO V CHRIS SABIN V DOUG WILLIAMS V CM PUNK V JERRY LYNN V RAVEN V HERNANDEZ
MATCH 3| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 3| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) GREATNESS| 66% WIN RATE FROM 15 MATCHES ZERO GRAVITY| 65% WIN RATE FROM 29 MATCHES NOTE| ZERO GRAVITY HAVE NOW FAILED TO BEAT GREATNESS IN 6 MATCHES Earlier today Zero Gravity spoke ahead of tonight’s match. Paul London said that people have questioned Zero Gravity’s attitude since being screwed out of the TNA Tag Team titles by AME, people have even questioned their desire and now people are questioning whether or not they can actually beat Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. London said tonight they can not lose and they will not lose and after tonight’s match no one will be questioning Zero Gravity.
Austin Aries and Roderick Strong were followed from their locker room as they made they’re way out. The announcers discussed how GREATNESS is two victories away from challenging Alpha Male Enterprise for the TNA Tag Team championship. GREATNESS are currently setting the standard for tag team wrestling.
GREATNESS and Zero Gravity have had some great matches arguably the greatest matches in the history of the TNA Tag Team division and tonights may have been the best yet. Zero Gravity through everything at GREATNESS desperate to get the win and even the score with two matches left but GREATNESS was again on fine form and for the most part kept London and Sydal at bay but eventually Zero Gravity took over and came close to scoring the victory after Sydal nailed Aries with a top rope sunset flip. Sydal later almost pinned Strong following a Shooting Star press but Aries saved Strong at the last second. Aries almost broke Zero Gravity and their fans hearts after spiking London with a brain buster but London kicked out at the last second. Eventually again for the 3rd time in match pitting GREATNESS against Zero Gravity the 20 minute time limit expired as Zero Gravity hunted the victory. RESULT| TIME LIMIT DRAW
Paul London and Matt Sydal were on their knees in shock as the bell rang. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong rolled out of the ring and regrouped in the aisle. Tonight was a must not lose for Zero Gravity and now the next match Match 4 is a must win for Zero Gravity because if GREATNESS wins Match 4 they will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles. Fans were on their feet afterwards showing both teams the respect they deserve while the TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise sit at home ignoring both GREATNESS and Zero Gravity.
TNA champion, Chris Harris was standing by backstage with TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson. Hudson asked Harris for his thoughts on the announcement earlier tonight regarding the TNA Championship Series. Harris told Hudson as he knows that Harris never backs away from a challenge it’s what makes him a great TNA champion but Harris has looked at the field and it just cements to Harris just how much better Harris is than everybody else in TNA at present. Harris said he doesn’t mean to sound arrogant but he has successfully retained his title against AJ, Daniels, Sabin, Raven and CM Punk. James Storm does not deserve a TNA title after tapping out to Christopher Daniels so quickly and the remaining 4 men (Lynn, Hero, Hernandez and Doug Williams) as good as they are they are not yet ready for a shot at the TNA Championship! Harris said he supposes that what happens when you work harder than everybody else but regardless Harris will not back away from a challenge and will beat whoever is unlucky enough to win the tournament.
Hudson noted how Harris mentioned James Storm recently tapping out but then noted that Chris Harris tapped out to tonight’s opponent the legendary, iconic, Sting. Harris didn’t look happy at Hudson mentioning that loss. Hudson asked Harris how he was feeling heading into tonight’s match because also after Harris original meeting with Sting there was no handshake afterwards and also last week during the contract signing between Harris and Sting there seemed to be some bad blood between the pair. Harris told Hudson that he has great respect for Sting and everything Sting has accomplished unfortunately Harris does not believe Sting respects him but after tonight after Harris beats Sting in the middle of the ring and retains his TNA title then hopefully Sting will respect him because Sting needs to realise he is not facing the same Chris Harris beat at TNA58.
AJ Styles made his way out for tonight’s next match against a mystery opponent who is the latest signing from TNA. Fans were on their feet for ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles as the former TNA champion awaited his opponent then some unfamiliar music hit in the arena as the fans went wild once they seen AJ Styles opponent was… Jeff Hardy!
MATCH 4| AJ STYLES V JEFF HARDY AJ STYLES| 75% WIN RATE FROM 40 MATCHES HIGHLIGHTS| TNA100| MAIN EVENT| STEEL CAGE MATCH| AJ STYLES BEAT CM PUNK Jeff Hardy came out to a rock star like reaction. Fans loved the arrival of Jeff Hardy. Even AJ Styles looked a little shocked. The announcers quickly ran through Hardy’s achievements one half of one of the greatest tag teams of recent time a multi time Tag Team champion but more recently Hardy has won a number of different singles titles of all styles and weigh limits Hardy is also the youngest WWF Intercontinental champion off all time.
As the bell rang and Hardy and Styles circled one another the fans started showing their love to AJ with a loud AJ chant going through the arena before the crowd settled on chanting for both men. Great atmosphere in the arena due to Hardy’s debut.
Really good match made even better by the atmosphere in the arena, hot crowd here tonight to celebrate TNA’s 2nd Year Anniversary. Big stakes match for AJ as he couldn’t afford to lose to Jeff Hardy on Hardy’s first night while Hardy wanted to show he belonged in there with the best TNA has to offer and Hardy did just that taking AJ to the limit but in the end AJ came away with another victory. AJ picked up the victory after Hardy planted AJ with a sit out face buster before attempting his Swanton bomb but AJ got his knees up, straight into Hardy’s back. AJ quickly capitalised with a standing heel kick which nearly took Hardy’s head off before planting Hardy with his Styles Clash for the victory. RESULT| AJ STYLES VIA PIN FALL
AJ Styles lay beside Jeff Hardy exhausted as the match official raised AJ’s hand in victory. Fans were on their feet for another great match tonight. AJ Styles in recent weeks has beaten Petey Williams, CM Punk in a Steel Cage match and tonight beat Jeff Hardy but things are not going to slow down for AJ who this Friday will be apart of a 10 man Battle Royal featuring the best wrestlers in TNA today before taking part in the TNA Championship Series which if AJ wins he will finally get his shot at the TNA championship a title AJ was screwed out of.
Jeff Hardy got back to his feet following the match and after AJ Styles had left the ring. Fans were on their feet for Hardy who took the time to pose for the fans before going around ringside and slapping hands with the fans as the announcers discussed Jeff Hardy signing with TNA saying Jeff Hardy makes the TNA roster even stronger and they look forward to seeing more and hearing from Jeff Hardy over the next few weeks.
MATCH 5| 8 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH| CHRIS SABIN, DOUG WILLIAMS, HERNANDEZ & JERRY LYNN V ANTONIO BANKS, BOBBY ROODE, EKMO FATU & PETEY WILLIAMS W. COACH D’AMORE NOTE| 8 MEN IN THIS MATCH ARE THE 8 QUARTER FINALISTS IN THE ONGOING TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT TNA Championship Tournament| Quarter Finals| Chris Sabin V Jerry Lynn; Antonio Banks V Ekmo Fatu; Doug Williams V Petey Williams; Hernandez V Bobby Roode.
Chris Sabin, Doug Williams, Jerry Lynn and Hernandez were all earlier tonight entered into the TNA Championship Series to determine the next top contender to the TNA Championship with Bobby Roode just missing out. All 4 men potentially have a busy couple of months ahead of them but they could have the ultimate reward because in a couple of months either one of the 4 could be both the TNA T.V champion and TNA champion!
Exciting but quick 8 man tag match. Banks and Fatu worked fine together despite the fact that next week they would face one another as did Sabin and Lynn who were supposed to meet this Friday on iMPACT! But now with the Battle Royal will also meet next week at TNA102. Bobby Roode picked up the victory showing TNA management they may have made a mistake in not selecting him for the TNA Championship Series pinning Sabin after planting Sabin with a spine buster. Announcers noted the greatest revenge Bobby Roode could have is by becoming the first TNA T.V champion. RESULT| ANTONIO BANKS, BOBBY ROODE, EKMO FATU & PETEY WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL
Announcers discussed the TNA Championship Series before hyping TNA iMPACT! Live this Friday on Fox Sports where the series will begin with a 10 man Battle Royal. More details about the tournament will be released also plus Bad Street Boys (Christian York& Joey Matthews) will be in action when they take on The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens). Announcers then looked at the overall TNA top 10 rankings which only includes active wrestlers who have competed in over 10 matches for TNA…
TNA Top 10 Rankings (Overall) 10th – Jerry Lynn 59.38% [NE] 9th – Doug Williams 64.29% [+1] 8th – CM Punk 65.79% [+1] 7th – Chris Sabin 66.67% [+1] 6th – James Storm 72.73% [+1] 5th – Chris Hero 73.33% [+1] 4th – AJ Styles 75.00% [+1] 3rd – TNA Champion, Chris Harris 78.05% [-] 2nd – Christopher Daniels 78.79% [-] 1st – Hernandez 90.00% [-] *Does not include tonight’s Matches

MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS V STING CHRIS HARRIS| 78% WIN RATE FROM 41 MATCHES STING| 71% WIN RATE FROM 7 MATCHES HIGHLIGHTS| TNA58| MAIN EVENT| STING BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA TAP OUT NOTE| STING HAS NOT LOST SINCE HIS DEBUT MATCH HERE IN TNA, ONE YEAR AGO AT TNA50| COMING OF AGE NOTE| CHRIS HARRIS & JAMES STORM HAVE THE MOST VICTORIES IN TNA WITH 32 Big match atmosphere in the arena again. Fans were on their feet as Chris Harris and Sting took their places in their respective corners. Announcers noted how Sting has been a World champion in the last 2 decades and tonight he’s looking to do it again showing that his talent it timeless. Harris looked focused knowing that the eyes of the world are on him again tonight and there are still people who doubt Chris Harris as TNA Champion due to the way he has been retaining the TNA title.
Fans were fully behind Sting throughout the match which seemed to rattle Chris Harris who dreams of being the face of TNA Wrestling. Sting controlled the early going of the match much to the delight of the crowd and at one point went looking for the Scorpion Death lock the same move which Harris tapped too at TNA58 but Harris managed to get free.
Harris took control after catching Sting with a dangerous Spear outside of the ring which hurt Sting. Back of Sting’s head almost hitting the ring steps too. Harris could not put Sting away, Harris tried everything even catching Sting with his Catatonic but Sting kicked out of the pin fall attempt. Sting came back with a top rope supflex for a close fall. No games from Harris tonight he was out to beat Sting within the time limit in the middle of the ring. Harris looked for another Spear late in the match but Sting moved and Harris hit the turnbuckle and Sting immediately hit his Scorpion Death Drop fans were going ballistic as Sting covered Harris, New Champion… No Harris at the last second got his foot on the rope! Harris was rocked and from then on out Sting was looking to finish Harris and become the new TNA champion, Sting hit two Stinger splashes in the corner before going to lift Harris from the corner only for Harris to sweep Sting’s legs and roll Sting up and surprisingly at the last second Harris put his feet all over the ropes for extra leverage as the match official counted Sting down for a 3 count! RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS VIA PIN FALL
Chris Harris rolled straight out the ring as the fans booed and Sting sat up in shock! Chris Harris cheated to retain his TNA title tonight! Harris has used questionable tactics in the past to retain his TNA title but he has never outright cheated like he has tonight. Sting was questioning the decision with the match official but the announcers weren’t sure whether Sting knew Harris had his legs on the ropes or not.
Chris Harris at ringside quickly grabbed his TNA title before storming back up the aisle, Harris didn’t celebrate didn’t even wait around to have his hand raised in victory by the match official. Fans were angry booing and shouting things at Harris as Harris made his way back up the aisle with his head down a drink even hit Harris on the head. Chris Harris has cheated Sting out of the TNA title here tonight.
Announcers were not happy that the 2 Year Anniversary was going to end this way and were not happy with the actions of the champion of the company, Chris Harris. Replays aired showing Chris Harris’ feet all over the ropes. Sting saw the replays from the ring and was not happy kicking the ropes out of frustration as TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERARY went off the air.

Jeremy Borash sitting in the studio with the arena on show behind him. Borash said tonight on iMPACT! they would deal with the fallout from TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY including the announcement of the first ever TNA Championship Series which begins later tonight!

Joey Matthews again admitted that they have found it hard since failing to become the TNA Tag Team champions for a second time but they’ve taken 6 weeks out they sat down and they put all their cards on the table and they decided that they need to stop feeling sorry for themselves, come back and get one more shot at the TNA Tag Team titles by any means necessary and this time they would not leave without the gold.
Decent match and Bad Street Boys seem to have finally turned the corner and looked good overcoming The Naturals tonight, picking up the victory after they planted Andy Douglas with their Hangman DDT. Following the match Bad Street Boys signalled for the TNA Tag Team titles. RESULT| BAD STREET BOYS VIA PIN FALL

Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas spoke about Match 3 in the Best of 5 Series saying it was Zero Gravity’s best performance against GREATNESS to date but it still wasn’t enough to pick up the victory. With 2 matches remaining, if GREATNESS win the next match they will become the top contenders to the TNA Tag Team titles.
TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| AJ STYLES BEAT JEFF HARDY!
Borash and Douglas turned their attention to Jeff Hardy following footage of his great match against AJ Styles. Jeff Hardy showed he belongs here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling but also learned that he will not just be able to walk in to a top spot here without earning it. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we would see and hear a lot more from Jeff Hardy.
TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © CHRIS HARRIS BEAT STING!
A number of replays showed Chris Harris pinning Sting with his legs all over the ropes before walking out with his TNA title but without having his hand raised in victory and without celebrating. Exclusive footage was then shown of TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson trying to speak with Chris Harris backstage following the Pay per View but Harris refused to answer any questions before locking himself into his locker room.
Borash, Douglas and Shawn Daivari spoke about the outcome of the Chris Harris/Sting TNA championship match. Shane Douglas has covered for Harris in the past because while Harris has used questionable tactics to retain the TNA title, Harris has never broke the rules to retain the most prestigious title in wrestling but Chris Harris cheated to retain the TNA title this past Wednesday and like how Christopher Daniels was criticised for cheating to beat AJ Styles, Chris Harris has to deal with the same criticism now. Jeremy Borash admitted he was disappointed in Chris Harris’ actions saying Harris wants to be the face of this company. Borash stated he does not want to be represented by a man who cheats to win. Shawn Daivari reported that Chris Harris stayed in his locker room until everyone else had gone home this past Wednesday only allowing Norman Smiley access before eventually leaving the arena but again refusing to answer any questions, however Chris Harris has let out word that this Wednesday live on Pay per View, Chris Harris would address the public.
TNA 102 TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINAL| ANTONIO BANKS V EKMO FATU TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINAL| CHRIS SABIN V JERRY LYNN TNA CHAMPION, CHRIS HARRIS SPEAKS!
Announcers then looked at the overall TNA top 10 rankings which only includes active wrestlers who have competed in over 10 matches for TNA…
TNA Top 10 Rankings (Overall) 10th – Ekmo Fatu 60.00% [NE] 9th – Doug Williams 62.07% 8th – Chris Sabin 64.71% [-1] 7th – CM Punk 65.79% [+1] 6th – James Storm 72.73% 5th – Chris Hero 73.33% 4th – AJ Styles 75.61% 3rd – TNA Champion, Chris Harris 78.57% 2nd – Christopher Daniels 78.79% 1st – Hernandez 81.82% *Does not include tonight’s Matches
Quick comments aired from the 10 entrants in the TNA Championship Series ahead of tonight’s Battle Royal kicking off the TNA Championship Series. Raven holding Abyss’ mask saying that he pulled off Abyss’ mask to prove that he was not going soft, Raven then asked everyone to think about what he would do to achieve his destiny of becoming the TNA champion. Hernandez he feels a little lucky to be entered into the TNA Championship Series but he is going to make the most of this opportunity by becoming the first Mexican TNA champion. Jerry Lynn thought his chance of becoming the TNA champion had gone but now he has earned one last chance to earn a TNA title shot and he is not going to let it slip through his fingers. Lynn is going to show that he still has what it takes to become the TNA champion. Doug Williams said he’s had a mixed year it started off great but due to injuries and a couple of tough defeats it quickly went down hill but now Williams is going to turn everything back around by becoming both the first TNA T.V champion and the new TNA champion. Chris Sabin a year ago was not even getting an entrance he was only given a shot by chance but this last year Sabin has made everyone sit up and take notice and while he is catching everyone else by surprise Sabin knows just how good he is and it’s time Sabin stopped falling at the final hurdle. CM Punk with his head bandaged up from his Steel Cage match with AJ Styles went to talk and stopped himself before saying he’s starting to sound like a broken record but it’s simple CM Punk will win the TNA Championship Series and finally become the new TNA champion.
James Storm told everyone following his loss to Christopher Daniels that he would use the loss to drive him and all Storm needs is one opportunity at the TNA title and by winning the TNA Championship Series, Storm will earn himself that one opportunity. Chris Hero with Heroes for Villains behind him said he was going to win the TNA Championship Series for every evil, sadistic, twisted soul out there looking for a role model to show that evil does pay off. AJ Styles was screwed out of the TNA title back in January and recently has vowed to beat whoever is put in front of him to earn his shot at the TNA title and that’s what AJ will now do he will win the TNA Championship Series and go on to reclaim his TNA championship. Christopher Daniels is not happy about having to defeat 9 other men to earn a shot at the TNA title because Daniels has beaten them all already but Daniels will beat them all again and then Daniels will make history once again by becoming the first two time TNA champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels…
MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| 10 MAN BATTLE ROYAL| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS V AJ STYLES V JAMES STORM V CHRIS HERO V CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK V DOUG WILLIAMS V JERRY LYNN V RAVEN V HERNANDEZ 1ST ELIMINATION| CHRIS HERO (2 POINTS) VIA RAVEN 2ND ELIMINATION| HERNANDEZ (4 POINTS) VIA JAMES STORM 3RD ELIMINATION| JERRY LYNN (6 POINTS) VIA CM PUNK 4TH ELIMINATION| RAVEN (8 POINTS) VIA CHRISTOPHER DANIELS 5TH ELIMINATION| DOUG WILLIAMS (10 POINTS) VIA CM PUNK 6TH ELIMINATION| JAMES STORM (12 POINTS) VIA AJ STYLES 7TH ELIMINATION| CM PUNK (14 POINTS) VIA AJ STYLES 8TH ELIMINATION| CHRIS SABIN (16 POINTS) VIA CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Following the elimination of Chris Sabin it came down to former TNA champions and two of the favourites to win the TNA Championship Series who have a long history with one another AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Both men have been on a roll the last few weeks but in the end after an exciting few minutes it was Christopher Daniels who came away with the victory and the maximum 20 point after spiking AJ with his Angel Wings before tossing AJ over the top rope to the floor. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS LASTLY ELIMINATED AJ STYLES TO WIN THE 10 MAN BATTLE ROYAL
Christopher Daniels dropped to his knees and motioned for the TNA championship. Christopher Daniels beat the entire TNA roster to win his first TNA title plus Daniels holds victories over 8 of the 9 other men in the TNA Championship Series previously. ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels has to be the favourite to win the first ever TNA Championship Series.
Match officials checked on AJ Styles at ringside after the bell the announcers believe that AJ Styles recent matches against CM Punk and Jeff Hardy especially have taken everything out of AJ Styles.
Christopher Daniels was shown making his way back up the ramp before heading back to the studio to join Jeremy Borash and Shane Douglas. Douglas congratulated Christopher Daniels on his victory and stated that he believes Daniels will win the first ever TNA Championship Series and challenge for the TNA championship, the two then discussed how hard the series is going to be on all 10 men both physically and mentally over the next couple of months and the fans can catch all of the matches live on Pay per View, on TNA iMPACT! and on TNA.Com. This Wednesday live at TNA102 the first round robin matches kick off plus we would hear from TNA champion, Chris Harris.
TNA iMPACT! went off the air first with footage of Christopher Daniels eliminating AJ Styles to win the 10 man Battle Royal before showing Chris Harris use the ropes to cheat his way to victory over ‘The Icon’ Sting.

Shawn Daivari introduced his guest at this time TNA champion, Chris Harris. As Harris joined Daivari on the podium, Mike Tenay noted that Chris Harris requested this time tonight to address last week’s outcome. Harris wearing all black including shades joined Daivari. Harris told the fans that he asked for this time tonight. Harris took a deep breath and raised his hand before saying he is holding his hands up and admitting that last week he made a mistake. Harris regrets what happened but can’t take it back but like a man he is standing out here tonight he is admitting he is wrong. Harris was going to come out here tonight and tell the fans that being the TNA champion is that important to him that last week he became a desperate man but Harris admits that would have been an excuse and Harris is out here tonight not to make excuses but like a man to admit he was wrong and apologies, to the fans, to everyone associated with TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling and to Sting himself! I’m sorry Sting, Harris said into the camera, Harris finished by saying he hopes everyone could find it in his heart to forgive him.
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING OPEN…
Mike Tenay welcomed the fans to TNA102 before introducing Don Callis and Jeremy Borash his broadcast partners. The 3 men discussed Chris Harris’ apology as footage was shown live of the TNA champion, Chris Harris leaving the arena. Borash noted that it was all well and good apologising but Harris needs to do the right thing and grant Sting a rematch at the TNA championship!
Announcers then hyped tonight’s card where the round robin format of the TNA Championship Series begins. 5 matches pitting the 10 best TNA wrestlers against one another. Highlights were then shown from this past Friday on TNA iMPACT! Live on Fox Sports where the TNA Championship Series kicked off with a 10 man Battle Royal which Christopher Daniels won lastly eliminating AJ Styles to gain the maximum 20 points on offer.
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHES DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS HERNANDEZ V CM PUNK CHRIS SABIN V JERRY LYNN RAVEN V CHRIS HERO AJ STYLES V JAMES STORM
TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RULES - 20 Minute Time Limit - 10 Points for a Victory - 5 Points for a Time Limit draw - 2 Points for No Contest, Double Count out etc - 0 Points for a Loss - -10 points for a loss via disqualification and outside interference
Mike Tenay noted that Chris Sabin and Jerry Lynn were supposed to meet tonight in TNA T.V Championship Tournament Quarter final match before the announcement of both men also being entered into the TNA Championship Series. The TNA T.V title tournament match was going to be rescheduled but Chris Sabin challenged Jerry Lynn to a double or nothing match and Jerry Lynn accepted, reluctantly according to sources. Also tonight in a TNA T.V Championship Tournament Quarter final match Alpha Male Enterprise collide when Antonio Banks takes on Ekmo Fatu. Footage was shown from earlier today of Alpha Male Enterprise (TNA Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown; Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu) with Alpha Male Security arriving at the arena with Antonio Banks noticeably looking nervous.
MATCH 1| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| HERNANDEZ V CM PUNK HERNANDEZ| 75% WIN RATE FROM 12 MATCHES CM PUNK| 64% WIN RATE FROM 39 MATCHES NOTE| WINS & LOSSES COUNT NOT ONLY TO TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES BUT ALSO OVERALL RECORDS NOTE| 02.07.04| TNA iMPACT!| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINALS| HERNANDEZ V BOBBY ROODE CM Punk refused to speak to anyone ahead of tonight’s match but Mike Tenay reminded everyone that on TNA iMPACT! Punk himself admitted that he was starting to sound like a broken record when it comes to his pursuit of the TNA championship. Hernandez again pre match admitted that he was a lucky to be entered into the TNA Championship Series but admitted he was going to take advantage of the opportunity to become the first Mexican TNA champion.
Bobby Roode was shown watching backstage, Roode will meet Hernandez in the Quarter Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament plus Roode just missed out on a spot in the TNA Championship Series too Hernandez.
Hernandez dominated using his size and power advantage which CM Punk had trouble taking advantage of and it resulted in a good match, maybe the best of Hernandez TNA career yet. Fans despise CM Punk who despite his recent luck has to be one of the favourites to win the TNA Championship Series and were right behind Hernandez but in the end Punk managed to pick up the victory after spiking Hernandez with his Even flow DDT. RESULT| CM PUNK VIA PIN FALL (CM PUNK: 10 POINTS)
CM Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ showed no emotion after the bell and refused to have his hand raised in victory by the match official. CM Punk after now failing to become the TNA champion and losing to AJ Styles two weeks inside a Steel Cage is desperate to win the TNA Championship Series and a desperate CM Punk will be a dangerous man.
Backstage former TNA champions, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels were shown getting ready for their TNA Championship Series matches later tonight. AJ will face James Storm while Daniels will face Doug Williams. After the Battle Royal on TNA iMPACT! Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles are currently 1 and 2 in the standings and both are the favourites based on past accomplishments and current form to go on and win the TNA Championship Series.
Video package aired looking at the growing rivalry between Raven and Chris Hero. Hero invited Raven to join his Heroes for Villains army but Raven ignored then rejected Hero’s proposal leading to claiming Raven has gone soft which then led to Raven to prove he hasn’t gone soft unmasking ‘The Monster’ Abyss.
MATCH 2| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES| RAVEN V CHRIS HERO RAVEN| 54% WIN RATE FROM 22 MATCHES CHRIS HERO| 68% WIN RATE FROM 16 MATCHES HIGHLIGHTS| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| RAVEN BEAT BRENT ALBRIGHT Recorded comments aired pre match from both Raven and Chris Hero. Hero told Raven that tonight he will prove he has gone soft after Hero takes of Raven’s jaw with his Roaring Elbow. Hero warned Raven that Raven has never dealt with anyone quite like him. Raven held Abyss’ mask into the camera and told everyone that Abyss is near 7 feet tall weighs over 300lb and has beat and injured the best, Abyss is a true monster while Chris Hero is just a man who was probably abandoned by his parents and tonight Raven will show Chris Hero what being a villain truly is – Quote the Raven, nevermore…
Raven and Hero had a heated brawl which went on in and outside of the ring. Both men wanted to hurt one another but they were also conscious of what they were ultimately fighting for a shot at the TNA championship. Fans were again into the match a match which could have headlined any TNA Pay per View. Heroes for Villains were barred from ringside by TNA management and will be throughout the TNA Championship Series. Hero has been frustrated by Raven on more than one occasion recently and it continued tonight after Raven pinned Hero following his Even flow DDT after avoiding Hero’s Roaring Elbow. RESULT| RAVEN VIA PIN FALL (RAVEN: 10 POINTS)
Raven sat up following the bell and grabbed Abyss’ mask raising it above his head, we haven’t seen or heard from Abyss or Jim Mitchell since Raven unmasked Abyss. Raven takes his tally to 18 points with the victory while Chris Hero sits at the bottom of the table with the 2 points Hero picked up in the Battle Royal on TNA iMPACT! Raven started to make his way back up the aisle only to be dropped from behind by Hero, Hero then tossed Raven into the ring steps but before Chris Hero could do anymore damage TNA officials came out and ordered Hero backstage before checking on the fallen Raven. Hero was screaming at Raven that he hasn’t seen anything yet while Hero was being escorted backstage.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA101| 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY| BEST OF 5 SERIES| MATCH 3| 1-0| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) WENT TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW
Antonio Banks came out for the TNA T.V Championship Tournament match against fellow AME member Ekmo Fatu. Banks paced the ring looking nervous about facing the much larger Ekmo Fatu the current TNA Xmas Bonus Tournament winner but then Banks went from looking nervous to looking confused as after Ekmo Fatu was announced Fatu did not come out. Ekmo Fatu was announced a second time but again Fatu did not come out. Banks was questioning what was happening before the match official and the ring announcer spoke again before the ring announcer announced Ekmo Fatu again but revealed if Fatu did not come out this time the match official would award the match to Antonio Banks…
MATCH 3| TNA T.V CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT| QUARTER FINALS| ANTONIO BANKS V EKMO FATU ANTONIO BANKS| 50% WIN RATE FROM 18 MATCHES EKMO FATU| 60% WIN RATE FROM 10 MATCHES Ekmo Fatu was announced for a third time and his music hit in the arena as Antonio Banks looked a cross between concerned, nervous and confused. Ekmo Fatu again failed to come out so the match official called off the match and awarded the victory to Antonio Banks via forfeit. Banks advances to the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship Tournament Semi finals. RESULT| ANTONIO BANKS VIA FORFEIT
Straight after the bell the TNA Tag Team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) with AME Security made their way out to join Antonio Banks in the ring to celebrate his victory. Banks looked confused wondering about the whereabouts of his friend and team mate Ekmo Fatu while Monty Brown especially looked over the moon. Jeremy Borash noted that AME was put all of their attention in making sure Antonio Banks becomes the first ever TNA T.V champion. As AME were leaving the ring TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari tried to get a word with AME but Monty Brown told them all to carry on before speaking with Daivari himself. Monty Brown said Ekmo Fatu was brought in to protect the MVP of AME, Antonio Banks and the interests of AME and tonight Ekmo Fatu has done that and Monty Brown is proud of Ekmo Fatu.

Doug Williams said that when he’s left to wrestle and not play games there aren’t many better than him proven by the fact that he holds victories over some of the best wrestlers in the world including Christopher Daniels before joining TNA and seeing as this is a wrestling tournament then Williams’ sees no reason why he will not go on to become the top contender to the TNA championship.
Christopher Daniels while getting a back massage said he is confident going into the TNA Championship Series as his fate is in his own hands and Daniels has already beaten most of the men in the Series including Doug Williams. Doug Williams tried to make a name for himself of something which happened along time ago which means nothing now and tonight in the middle of the ring Daniels will beat Doug Williams and go on to make history again by winning the TNA Championship Series before becoming the TNA champion once again and that is the gospel according to the Fallen Angel.
Great wrestling match between two of the best wrestlers in the world today. The match went near 15 minutes and both men came close to picking up the victory but in the end it was Christopher Daniels who scored the victory after Daniels managed to trap Williams in his Koji clutch the same move which made James Storm tap out instantly, Williams fought longer than Storm and tried to reach the ropes but in the end had no choice but to tap out. Christopher Daniels has maximum points from the opening two matches showing why he is the favourite to win the TNA Championship Series. RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA TAP OUT (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS: 10 POINTS)
Announcers praised Doug Williams saying tapping out was a smart decision because there are still 8 more matches left in the tournament and Williams’ has to think about that as well as the TNA T.V Championship tournament which Williams’ is still going strong in.
Christopher Daniels had his hand raised in victory before quickly speaking with TNA Reporter, Shawn Daivari at ringside. Daniels told Daivari that he is going to win the TNA Championship Series and people need to face that fact, face the fact that Christopher Daniels is the best wrestler in the world today proven by the fact that Daniels beat the entire TNA Roster to become the first TNA champion, proven by the fact that Daniels has only ever been beaten by former TNA champions, proven by the fact that Daniels tops not only the TNA Championship Series table but the overall TNA rankings also. Daniels finished again by telling the fans to face facts that Christopher Daniels will go on to reclaim his TNA title and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!

Sabin was asked about challenging Jerry Lynn a former World Champion and one half of the first ever TNA Tag Team champions to a double or nothing match. Sabin said he was confident in his ability and while he’s a fan of Jerry Lynn and is looking forward to facing Jerry Lynn. Chris Sabin has to be beating Jerry Lynn and winning big matches and titles if people are going to start looking at Chris Sabin as one of the best like he knows he can be.
Jerry Lynn admitted he was a little nervous about accepting this high stakes match but Lynn believes he is making the right decision and it would be a dream come true to win either the TNA T.V title or the TNA title and Lynn will do everything in his power to give it his best shot.
Another great match, we could be in for a treat the next 8 weeks with the standard of matches available in the TNA Championship Series. Sabin/Lynn may have been the best one yet dependant on taste. Really exciting match which the fans were invested in and both men put everything on the line and both men during the match kicked out of the others signature move the Cradle Shock from Sabin and the TKO from Lynn but in the end it was Sabin who picked up the 10 points when it seemed like they were going to go to the 20 minute time limit after Sabin surprised Lynn with a crucifix roll up. RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL (CHRIS SABIN: 10 POINTS)
Fans were on their feet following the bell as Chris Sabin and Jerry Lynn struggled to their feet; Lynn looked devastated by the loss. Sabin has not only picked up the 10 points but also advanced to the Semi Finals of the TNA T.V Championship tournament. This victory for Sabin tonight may top his ladder match victory over Chris Hero as his biggest victory to date due to who it was over and what Sabin has achieved. There was a great show of respect afterwards as Jerry Lynn raised Chris Sabin’s hand in victory before the two men embraced in the middle of the ring. Chris Sabin may be one to keep an eye out for in the TNA Championship Series plus he may now be the favourite to become the first ever TNA T.V champion.
