TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash standing on the stage welcomed everyone to the latest TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Pay per View event. Borash broke the news that TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels has informed TNA Management that he would not be here tonight because he is not scheduled to compete plus there is nothing for him to see or nothing for him to hear. Borash announced tonight’s Main Event before introducing Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside…
Tonight’s Main Event; BG James, James Storm and Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett!
Tenay welcomed everyone to the show before he and DW spoke about the attitude of the TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels. Daniels claims that tonight there is nothing for him to see or hear when the man who faces Daniels next week in a Non-Title match CM Punk will be in action tonight, plus opening tonight’s show we would hear from the No.1 contender to the TNA title, Jerry Lynn. CM Punk told Christopher Daniels last week that arrogance would be his downfall and Tenay said CM Punk may be right.
TNA Ring Announcer, David Penzer standing in the middle of the ring introduced Jerry Lynn…
Jerry Lynn was scheduled to meet Jeremy Borash for an interview during the week which would have been broadcast tonight but Lynn instead wanted to be here tonight and requested some time to get a few things of his chest.
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA20: 06/11/02; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn!
Jerry Lynn told the fans that he requested this time tonight so he can get a few things of his chest, open up a little bit about what his match against Christopher Daniels means to him. Lynn to put it bluntly said it was the biggest match of his life. Lynn has wrestled all over the world for many different companies and has fought for a number of titles and has even won a few titles including World titles in different weight classes but none of them matches compare to his match against Daniels at TNA20 the only match that comes close is the Gauntlet for the Gold match and everyone seen how hard Lynn wanted that victory lasting longer than any other man. Lynn is worried that when he finally hangs up his boots his legacy is just going to be Lynn was a respected veteran; Lynn is so much more than that and by winning the TNA title and by carrying the company on his back he gets to change everyone’s perception. For many years this business people got by on size and being smaller than most Lynn was held back but now things have changed and before Lynn retires he wants to prove to the world that he among the best in this business and deserves to be talked about in the same breath as some of the other greats. Jerry Lynn said winning the TNA title for him is vindication that his whole career has been worth it and at TNA20 he will beat Christopher Daniels in the middle of the ring to become the new TNA Champion. Christopher Daniels on the surface seems to be taking Lynn lightly and Lynn warned Daniels that he should be very worried about him and taking him lightly will be the biggest mistake of his career because it will see Daniels lose the TNA title to him.
Jerry Lynn with his words tonight may have put some extra pressure on his shoulders ahead of his TNA Championship match against Christopher Daniels. TNA20 Daniels/Lynn who will walk away as TNA Champion?
Mike Tenay and Don West ran through what else was scheduled for tonight; Curt Hennig will speak with Jeremy Borash, AJ Styles and Abyss will both be in action a rematch from 2 weeks ago when Amazing Red faces Sonny Siaki, CM Punk with his toughest task to date takes on Jimmy Yang and up first tonight Christian York and Joey Matthews will team up for the first time here in TNA to take on Smooth Stallions…
Match 1; 20 Minute Time Limit Christian York and Joey Matthews V Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo)
Recorded promo with Kid Kash aired before the match with Kash vowing revenge on both Christian York and Joey Matthews. Kash warned Matthews that he has made the biggest mistake of his life.
Christian York and Joey Matthews beat Smooth Stallions via pin fall. Matthews planted Mamaluke with his Matthews Driver before York came off the top rope with an elbow drop.
Winners; Christian York and Joey Matthews
Christian York and Joey Matthews like the rest of the growing TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, Tag Team Division are waiting for the announcement of how and when the first TNA Tag Team Champions will be crowned.
Quick footage was shown from last week of James Storm and Ricky Steamboat sharing a beer in the middle of the ring as a part of Steamboat’s farewell address ahead of his match against Jeff Jarrett at TNA23.
Actor and Comedian Chris Rock was shown sitting in the crowd waving at the camera as Mike Tenay plugged Rock’s latest movie.
Match 2; 20 Minute Time Limit Mark Briscoe V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA22: 20/11/02; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!
Ricky Steamboat a number of weeks ago refused to give the Briscoe Brothers and Amazing Red singles matches against ‘The Monster’ Abyss but has now granted the 3 their wishes because tonight Mark gets his match, next week Jay Briscoe will get his and in 2 weeks at TNA18 it will be Amazing Red V Abyss…
Mark Briscoe in a recorded promo said that he does not expect to beat Abyss but Abyss jumped him and his brother from behind and they deserve to get their revenge. Tonight Abyss may hurt him but at least Mark will know he gave Abyss a little payback plus Mark would have done as he was raised to do and that is man up!
Throughout the match Jim Mitchell was screaming at Abyss that he was in the ring with AJ Styles not Mark Briscoe.
Abyss beat Mark Briscoe via pin fall after smashing Mark with a Chokeslam.
Winner; Abyss
Following the match Jim Mitchell ordered Abyss to watch the big screen as highlights of AJ Styles eliminating Abyss from the Gauntlet for the Gold match repeated itself. Abyss had trouble watching the footage but Mitchell demanded Abyss watch and with every clip you could see the anger in ‘The Monster’ building up.
Tonight; AJ Styles!
Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside spoke about the announcement that was made last week that Chris Harris alongside Norman Smiley would run the new TNA Wrestling Academy. They also announced that TNA Management has sent scouts across the world to UK, Europe, Mexico, Canada here in the USA and Japan to find the best unsigned talent.
Jeremy Borash standing in the middle of the ring introduced with great delight, one of the all-time greats and former World Champion… Curt Hennig!
Hennig came out to a great ovation before joining Jeremy Borash in the middle of the ring. Hennig and Borash shook hands. Borash told Hennig it was an honour to have him in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling but Borash asked Hennig what has brought him to TNA and why has he challenged Chris Harris?
Hennig called Borash a fool and said Borash knows why he’s and why he’s challenged Chris Harris. Months ago before TNA opened its doors Hennig was in talks with management about coming into TNA but then after they came to watch Hennig in action he lost his match that night. Hennig that night lost to Chris Harris who was then signed to a TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling contract and since that night Harris hasn’t looked back Harris has never been pinned or made to submit, Harris has more victories than anyone else in TNA and has a 92% win percentage which is almost... Perfect! Hennig was not signed to a contract because TNA Management thought he didn’t have it any more because he lost to a rookie but they didn’t know just how good Chris Harris was. TNA Management has now given Hennig the opportunity to come into TNA and face Chris Harris. Hennig told Harris that Harris is almost perfect but now Harris has to face a man who is perfect and a man who is looking for revenge because Chris Harris almost cost him his last opportunity in this business and almost made him retire without anyone knowing in a dump in the middle of Memphis. TNA21 in the middle of the ring Chris Harris for the first time will be beaten in the middle of the ring by a man who is something that Chris Harris can never claim to be and that is perfect!
Curt Hennig and Chris Harris’ rivalry is more personal than anyone could have imagined especially from Curt Hennig’s side anyway and it will be interesting to see how Chris Harris responds.
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA21: 13/11/02; Chris Harris V Curt Hennig!
Footage was shown from last week of Ron Killings returning and trying to get his hands on Monty Brown only for Monty to escape leaving Killings to take his frustration out on a member of Brown’s personal security team.
Tonight’s Main Event; BG James, James Storm and Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett!
Up Next; CM Punk V Jimmy Yang…
Match 3; 20 Minute Time Limit CM Punk V Jimmy Yang
CM Punk beat Jimmy Yang via pin fall after Yang missed a moonsault but landed on his feet and ran at Punk only to eat a tilt a whirl back breaker quickly followed by a Shining Wizard which was enough to give Punk his 3rd straight victory.
Winner; CM Punk
Jimmy Yang after the match was on his hands and knees in the aisle way before slowly getting back to his feet, Yang who has lost more matches than anyone else on the TNA roster and only has a 13% win percentage looked heartbroken. Yang looked around the arena before pointing at the fans and yelling at them, that it was the fans fault before storming back up the aisle. Yang’s poor form is finally getting to him.
CM Punk seemed to be amused by Jimmy Yang’s outburst before asking for a microphone. CM Punk repeated what he said last week that arrogance would be the downfall of TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels and next week Punk will shock the world by beating Daniels in the middle of the ring. Punk reminded Daniels that no one took Daniels claims of becoming the first TNA Champion seriously either so Daniels better not make the same mistake and overlook CM Punk. CM Punk told them whoever comes out of TNA20 with the TNA Championship that CM Punk will be waiting for them!
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA17: 16/10/02; Non-Title Match; TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk!
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA17: 16/10/02; Low Ki Speaks!
Highlights aired from TNA14 showing Amazing Red beating Sonny Siaki in the Main Event with his unbelievable Infra-Red multiple corkscrew moonsault.
Match 4; 20 Minute Time Limit Amazing Red V Sonny Siaki
Amazing Red beat Sonny Siaki via pin fall after Red tripped Siaki with a kick and quickly caught Siaki with his Red Star Press.
Winner; Amazing Red
Amazing Red who now has a very impressive 78% win percentage was stopped by Jeremy Borash after the match for a quick word. Red told Borash that a few weeks back he set out to do 3 things, shut Sonny Siaki’s mouth which he has done, get his hands on Abyss which he will do in 2 weeks and finally to become the TNA Champion. Amazing Red warned Christopher Daniels he was coming for him!
Before tonight’s next match where we would see AJ Styles in action, Mike Tenay and Don West ran through a few things which have been announcement in advance for next week’s Pay per View TNA18…
• Main Event: Non-Title Match; TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk • Low Ki Speaks • Joey Matthews V Kid Kash • Jay Briscoe V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell
Earlier tonight Jim Mitchell forced ‘The Monster’ Abyss to watch replay after replay of AJ Styles eliminating Abyss from the Gauntlet for the Gold match costing Abyss the TNA Championship…
Match 5; 20 Minute Time Limit AJ Styles V Jimmy Rave
AJ Styles beat Jimmy Rave via pin fall following his Styles Clash.
Winner; AJ Styles
AJ Styles with a very professional performance tonight over Jimmy Rave to take his win percentage up to 60% which coincidentally is the same as ‘The Monster’ Abyss. AJ Styles despite Jim Mitchell’s claims continues to show that he has no fear of ‘The Monster’ Abyss!
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA22: 20/11/02; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!
Up Next; Tonight’s Main Event: BG James, James Storm and Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett…
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA21: 13/11/02; Ron Killings V Monty Brown!
TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: TNA23: 27/11/02; Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett!
Jeremy Borash was standing by backstage with Jeff Jarrett ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Jarrett told Borash that tonight’s Main Event again shows Ricky Steamboat abuses his power, while Steamboat is training and resting ahead of their match at TNA23, Steamboat has forced Jarrett to compete tonight. Also last week James Storm comes out and kisses Steamboat’s ass and shares a beer with Steamboat and now Storm is in the Main Event. Jarrett cannot wait until the 27th November because that’s the night Jarrett finally sends Ricky Steamboat out of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling and then no one will be able to hold him down and stop him from becoming the TNA Champion.
Match 6; Main Event 30 Minute Time Limit 6 Man Tag Team Match BG James, James Storm and Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett
Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett beat BG James, James Storm and Ron Killings via pin fall after Jarrett pinned BG James following his Stroke.
Winners; Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Jeff Jarrett
Ron Killings also failed during the match to get his hands on Monty Brown with Brown somehow managing to avoid Killings.
James Storm seemed to have scored the victory for his team after he knocked Elix Skipper out with his Super Kick but the match official was distracted by the other 4 men in the match.
Pay per View went off the air with James Storm checking on BG James while Ron Killings leaned over the ropes threatening Monty Brown, who was celebrating in the aisle with Elix Skipper who was being held up by their personal security team and Jeff Jarrett the man who led his team to victory tonight and the man who is responsible for Ricky Steamboat leaving TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action: Wednesday 9th October 2002...Jeremy Borash opening the show with the announcement that Christopher Daniels wouldn't be here was an interesting to kick things off. I wonder how you will build towards Jerry Lynn's upcoming match with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion without Daniels being here. Meanwhile, decent six-man tag team contest set up for tonight's main event. Jerry Lynn's interview to kick off the show was nice, and a decent way to build up for his upcoming match with Daniels. I can't see Lynn taking the title from Daniels however, though. Up next, a decent win for Christian York and Joey Matthews, who continue their build towards chasing the TNA World Tag Team Championships, in what I should expect will be a tournament. A nice cameo appearance by Tony Mamaluke and Kid Romeo here, but the right men won. I'd say consider mixing up your format, considering that York and Matthews dominated the opening contest last week as well, did they not? And Abyss and AJ Styles' feud dominating the second match, right? Maybe mix things up a little, the format could get a bit repetitive after a while. Chris Rock is in attendance for TNA? Hah, I can't really see that, honestly. Abyss beating Mark Briscoe is fine, as I think that the Briscoe Brothers aren't really ready for credible competition, at this stage of their careers. Interested to see what AJ Styles has to say in response to Abyss and Father James Mitchell's antics. Up next, Curt Hennig having words for Chris Harris is fine, preparing the seeds for their upcoming match. I'm interested in Hennig's purpose here, could he be one of those next in line for a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship? Next up, I predict would be a good bout between CM Punk and the talented Jimmy Yang; but of course, Punk continues his impressive short run so far in TNA. I can dig a match between Punk and Christopher Daniels in non-title action: I just think Daniels would need to win, in order to stay strong when going up against Jerry Lynn in a couple of weeks. That, and don't rush Punk to the main event scene. I like the sound of Yang getting angry because of his lack of victories recently. I'd like to see a big turnaround for his career. I'd have maybe had Punk call Daniels out and then leave before Yang's outburst though, personally. Up next, yay, the Amazing Red defeating Sonny Siaki was fine, although I am surprised to not see the Maximo Brothers, Joel and Jose from the Spanish Announce Team in TNA: Red's cousins. I hope to see them make an appearance in the tag team division in the near future, when the TNA World Tag Team Championships debut, that is. I'm also surprised, whilst I'm on the subject, that a roster as wide as yours doesn't have an undercard title. Nobody can really see Red or Siaki as TNA World Heavyweight Champion (it'd hurt the young company), so why not give them something else to do? I was never a big fan of Siaki, so I have no problem with this. Red's coming for Daniels? Oh lordy. I've come to realise recently that TNA currently has their uppercard dominated by smaller guys. I find that amusing, considering that guys such as Abyss, Monty Brown, and various others aren't anywhere near that division - instead, doing their own thing. AJ Styles defeating Jimmy Rave was fine; Rave can't catch a break in TNA, it seems. I'd like to see the open door policy that TNA had open up in this diary: it'd mix up some of the stars featured in the product. Alternatively, maybe bring in some CZW/ROH/3PW/MLW wrestlers from the independent circuit to act as enhancement talents, much like TNA used for Xplosion! back here. I think Styles and Abyss' feud needs some comments from somebody, too. Whether it be Styles or Mitchell. And finally, an interesting six-man tag team match; although I'm unsure why Jeff Jarrett was included, weeks ahead of his big match with Ricky Steamboat. Nonetheless, Alpha Male Enterprises and Jarrett defeating BG James, Ron Killings and James Storm is nice, a decent main event. I see a tag feud brewing between the Enterprises & Killings and Storm. Overall, not a bad show, albeit some minor complaints.

Again appreciate the feedback...
From the recap I read of this actual show, Chris Rock took part in the show.
Matthews/York being involved in the first match was an oversight/coincidence.
Currently my roster is around 30 men the plan soon enough is to trim the fat.
Abyss/AJ stems from the fact AJ eliminated Abyss from the TNA title GFTG match both are in the title picture long term.
Feel like all the pieces are falling into place and the roster is starting to look and feel like I wanted it too. I'm quite excited to write the next few shows.
Expect an announcement on the tag titles soon enough.
I have read your latest shows and will review but I will say I am invested in the top of your card.
TNA17; Punk-Daniels will be up over the weekend

First things first, I'm not a fan of the layout as it just doesn't look great to me. Rather cluttered for my taste to be frank. Onto the show though, love the idea of Christopher Daniels as Champion. I also love the team of Skipper & Brown and their team name. I don't think you should put the main event in bold until it happens, I thought that match was starting when I read it. Lynn's promo was solid and Lynn/Daniels should be good. Cool to see Romeo and Mamaluke but the right team won. I've always been a fan of York & Matthews. Abyss winning was good and looking forward to AJ/Abyss. Harris/Hennig could be good, love Hennig. Punk/Yang would've been solid, obvious choice for Punk to win. Red over Siaki again is interesting, I always kinda liked both guys. I would like more of a write up for the matches as AJ/Rave would be awesome. Loved some of their ROH stuff. Having the heels win the main event was good as well. Overall, not a bad show, I'm just not sold on the format. I'd rather it be more organized and maybe more into the match write ups and less into the bolded announcements of what's coming up in the future.

Jim Mitchell BG James and Ron Killings V Alan Funk and Chase Stevens James Storm V Sonny Siaki Jimmy Yang and Shark Boy V Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond)
(TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…)
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA17 before hyping tonight’s card where for the first time since being injured 7 weeks ago at TNA10 in the final stage of the Gauntlet for the Gold match we would hear from Low Ki via satellite. Also tonight we would take a look at Ricky Steamboat in training for his match coming up against Jeff Jarrett at TNA23 but tonight’s headline attraction without question is tonight’s Main Event of the evening…
(Tonight’s Main Event; Non-Title Match: TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk!)
Mike Tenay introduced himself and Don West at ringside before they spoke about tonight’s Main Event. 100% v 100%, 3-0 v 6-0, undefeated v undefeated, straight edge superstar v fallen angel – CM Punk V Christopher Daniels! This match came about after Punk claimed that if given the opportunity he would have shocked the world and beat TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels in his debut match.
Earlier today TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels was shown arriving at the arena in a chauffeur driven car and being escorted into the arena while CM Punk was shown later in the day getting taped up in preparation for the biggest match of his life.
(Up Next; BG James & Ron Killings will be in action…)
BG James and Ron Killings made their way out for tonight’s opening contest which would be a tag team match. Before the match BG grabbed a microphone and after warming the crowd up BG passed the mic’ onto Ron Killings. Killings knows that Monty Brown is watching somewhere and Killings wants Monty to know that he can’t run and hide forever, sooner rather than later he gonna get got! TNA21 is not enough for Killings. Alpha Male Enterprise have attacked Killings and his brother from another mother BG James too many times and come TNA21 Monty Brown going to get his ass kicked but that’s not enough for them they want to hurt them bad. Alpha Male Enterprise has guaranteed that they will become the first TNA Tag Team champions. Killings promised that was not going to happen and vowed that the first TNA Tag Team champions would be BG James and Ron Killings!
MATCH 1 BG James and Ron Killings defeated Alan Funk and Chase Stevens via pin fall BG James pinned Alan Funk following his Pump Handle Slam BG James & Ron Killings looked impressive on their way to victory, with Killings dominating the end of the match which allowed BG to put Funk away with his Pump Handle Slam. Mike Tenay noted during the match that with any announcement regarding the TNA Tag Team titles will be made once a replacement for Ricky Steamboat has been announced. Winners; BG James & Ron Killings
(Wednesday 13th November, 2002; TNA21: Ron Killings V Monty Brown!)
Tenay and West at ringside plugged for later tonight a look at Ricky Steamboat in training ahead of his match against Jeff Jarrett. Up next Jeremy Borash was standing by with CM Punk and then following that we would hear via satellite from Low Ki.
Jeremy Borash in the backstage interview area was with CM Punk. Borash asked Punk how he was feeling heading into tonight’s Main Event. Punk said it feels natural, this is where CM Punk belongs in the big matches and this is where CM Punk is going to stay. Punk has been mentally preparing himself for tonight since the day he decided he was going to become a professional wrestler. Tonight win, lose or draw tonight is a milestone night in the career of CM Punk but it will be remembered for all the right reasons it will be remembered as the night when people realised CM Punk’s words were more just words it would be the night when the wrestling world realised that CM Punk was going to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time!
(Tonight’s Main Event; Non-Title Match: TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk!)
Mike Tenay and Don West were taken back a little by not only CM Punk’s words but also his passion. Christopher Daniels would respond following Low Ki’s interview. Tenay then introduced Low Ki who is a man who will have a very close eye on tonight’s Main Event.
Low Ki appeared on screen sitting in a dark TNA studio. Fans chanted Low Ki’s name. Tenay thanked Low Ki for taking time out from his recovery to speak with them tonight also because everyone knows Low Ki is a man of a few words. Tenay started off by asking Low Ki how he was healing up and when would it be realistic to see Low Ki back in a TNA Total Non-Stop Wrestling ring. Low Ki claims his recovery is going well and he is healing up, Low Ki expects to be back end of November start of December. Don West excited by that news said he bets Low Ki can’t wait to return and get his hands on the man that injured him TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels. Low Ki told Don West that he is a warrior a competitor and he tries not to allow personal feelings block his focus and his concentration. Low Ki is focused on one thing and that is becoming the TNA Champion and if Christopher Daniels happens to be TNA Champion then so be it. Mike Tenay respected Low Ki’s feelings but wanted to get one last question in about AJ Styles! This got a reaction from the crowd. TNA01 Low Ki and AJ Styles had an instant classic – Tenay’s question was simple would Low Ki like to get in the ring with AJ Styles again. Low Ki’s answer was even simpler… Yes! Mike Tenay thanked Low Ki for joining us tonight and told Low Ki the world was excited for his return to the ring.
Camera’s went backstage where Jeremy Borash tried to walk into Christopher Daniels’ locker room as the door opened you could see Daniels push his T.V monitor on the floor before slamming the door closed not allowing Borash access into his room – TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels is not looking forward to Low Ki’s return!
MATCH 2 James Storm beat Sonny Siaki via pin fall following his Super kick ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm with another victory tonight, Storm who’s one loss was to TNA Champion; Christopher Daniels has a 75% win percentage from 12 matches. Storm who is a huge fan favourite in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee will next week go one on one against Elix Skipper. Winner; James Storm
(Tonight; Joey Matthews w. Christian York V Kid Kash!)
(Tonight; Chris Harris responds to Curt Hennig!)
(Up Next; Jay Briscoe V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell…)
Abyss last week beat Mark Briscoe and after the match Jim Mitchell forced Abyss to watch highlights of AJ Styles eliminating him from the Gauntlet for the Gold match repeatedly.
Abyss and Jim Mitchell made their way into the ring for the match when AJ Styles appeared on the big screen. AJ told Mitchell that last week he saw that Mitchell forced Abyss to watch him eliminate Abyss from the Gauntlet for the Gold match to fire Abyss up because Mitchell wants Abyss not to only beat AJ at TNA22 but end him. AJ was willing to help out tonight. AJ Styles wanted Abyss to read his lips and he will say it nice and slow so the world can hear him. AJ Styles is not afraid of Abyss! The only thing AJ is afraid of is failure but he will never let himself become a failure. AJ told Abyss that to him, Abyss is just a 300lb roadblock standing in his way of becoming TNA Champion!
Abyss was fuming in the ring, pacing the ring like a mad man while Jim Mitchell was trying to calm Abyss down. Jim Mitchell and Abyss are having no luck against AJ Styles.
MATCH 3 Abyss w. Jim Mitchell beat Jay Briscoe via pin fall following his Shock Treatment Teenager Jay Briscoe never backed down from the much bigger Abyss and rocked Abyss a few times. Jay and Mark last week will just be happy that they managed to get some measure of revenge against the man who assaulted them a few weeks back. In the end Abyss took over and eventually pinned Briscoe following his Shock Treatment. Abyss improved his winning percentage to 67% tonight but that was the last thing on Abyss’ mind. Winner; Abyss
(Wednesday 20th November, 2002; TNA 22; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!)
Jerry Lynn the No.1 contender to the TNA Championship was shown arriving at the arena, Mike Tenay informed us that Lynn would join them at the announce table for tonight’s Main Event.
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside following Jerry Lynn being shown arriving at the arena. Tenay announced that TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels has agreed to speak ahead of tonight’s Main Event and we would hear from Daniels following Borash speaking to Chris Harris but before then we would have a look at Ricky Steamboat in training for his upcoming match against Jeff Jarrett at TNA23…
Ricky Steamboat was shown working with Chris Harris and Norman Smiley at the TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Academy before we heard comments from all three men. Norman Smiley noted how hungry Steamboat was not to disgrace his legendary name. Smiley said Steamboat would be ready for Jarrett. Chris Harris was honoured to be helping a legend like Ricky Steamboat. Harris said Steamboat has nothing to worry about all Steamboat is doing here is clearing the cobwebs. Harris said he is supposed to be helping Steamboat but he is learning more from Steamboat himself. Ricky Steamboat said the wrestling ring is his office and he is more comfortable in his gear than in a suite. Steamboat sees this match as one of the biggest of his life personally but it more importantly Steamboat can’t think of a better leaving present that shutting Jeff Jarrett’s mouth for good.
(Wednesday 27th November, 2002: TNA23; Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett!)
Next week at TNA18, Jeff Jarrett has vowed to be here to give Ricky Steamboat a farewell speech of his own, one Jarrett promises will be fitting of the legend that is Ricky Steamboat.
Jeremy Borash was now standing by in the middle of the ring. Borash reminded the fans that at TNA21 we would see Chris Harris take on former World Champion, Curt Hennig. Last week we heard from Hennig and tonight we would get a response from Chris Harris. Borash introduced Harris who has a 92% win percentage from 12 matches. Harris and Borash shook hands in the middle of the ring.
Borash asked Harris for his thoughts on Curt Hennig’s comments last week. Harris who was wearing a grey suite with white shirt told Borash that before he talks about Curt Hennig he wants to publicly thank TNA management for appointing him as head teacher at the TNA Total Non-Stop Wrestling Academy. Harris said it was an honour and it showed how much he is respected and trusted by TNA management. Harris told the fans that he always tries to represent this company like a professional.
Harris turned his attention to Curt Hennig, Harris claims to respect Curt Hennig and Harris wants to publicly apologise to Curt Hennig for almost forcing him into retirement and it would have been a shame that only a couple of hundred people would have seen Hennig’s final match. Curt Hennig’s music interrupted at that point and Hennig was quickly down the aisle and into the ring, clearly hearing something that he didn’t like. Hennig pulled the microphone from Borash. Hennig said Harris’ mouth is saying one thing but Hennig is hearing something else, maybe Hennig is paranoid from being in this business for too long. Hennig told Harris that by beating him in Memphis, Harris took away opportunity. Hennig could have been standing here tonight as TNA Champion if Hennig had been signed that night. Hennig owes Harris a beating for that and at TNA 21 Chris Harris is going to get a beating. Harris promised Hennig that he was just being paranoid and he meant no disrespect but he does have one comment that may offend Hennig and that is maybe Hennig should have retired in Memphis in front of no one because now at TNA21 the wrestling world is going to see that Curt Hennig is far from perfect!
Chris Harris walked past Hennig to leave the ring and just as Harris was leaving the ring Hennig turned around and kicked the ring ropes right in between Harris’ legs which dropped Harris to the ringside floor. Hennig’s actions got a mixed response from the crowd. Hennig leaned over the ropes yelling at Harris that he would see him at TNA21.
(Wednesday 13th November, 2002: TNA21; Chris Harris V Curt Hennig!)
TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels was standing by backstage with his TNA title over his shoulder. Daniels did not look happy. Christopher Daniels doesn’t need Jeremy Borash standing in front of him holding a microphone because the champ knows exactly what questions Borash is going to ask because the Fallen Angel is always 2 steps ahead. Borash is going to ask questions about Jerry Lynn, CM Punk and Low Ki. Daniels stopped for a second before saying that there continue to be people who doubt and disrespect him, there continues to be people who don’t believe Christopher Daniels deserves to be the first TNA Champion. Daniels addressed these people and said he has already done what no other man can do again and that is become the first TNA Champion, Daniels beat the entire roster to achieve that feat but if Daniels still has to make believers out of people he will but he needs them to hear his words. Tonight Christopher Daniels in the middle of the ring will beat CM Punk, arrogance will not be the down fall of Christopher Daniels it will be the downfall of CM Punk. Does Christopher Daniels look worried about Jerry Lynn? Because Daniels’ isn’t, Jerry Lynn is not a threat to him the ‘respected veteran’ will never become the TNA Champion and Low Ki. Daniels promises that if Low Ki ever comes near his TNA title next time Low Ki will not get off so lightly next time Christopher Daniels will injure Low Ki permanently and that is the gospel according to the Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels your TNA Champion!
(Tonight’s Main Event; Non-Title Match: TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk!)
(Wednesday 6th November, 2002: TNA 20; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn!)
MATCH 4 Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) beat Jimmy Yang and Shark Boy via pin fall Swinger pinned Shark Boy after their Problem Solver Jimmy Yang’s career has hit an all-time low. Yang didn’t even get his entrance shown tonight. When TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling opened its doors the expectation was that Jimmy Yang if given an opportunity would be up near the top of the card not at the bottom. Couple of minutes into the match Yang who had shown no interest throughout the match just walked out on his partner Shark Boy to boo’s from the crowd.
Diamonds in the Rough who are expected to be challenging for the right to become the first TNA Tag Team champions put Shark Boy down shortly after with their Problem Solver. Winners; Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond)
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside to introduce the next match of the evening a grudge match between Joey Matthews and Kid Kash but before they did, Mike Tenay who has known Jimmy Yang for a few years again said he couldn’t believe how far Jimmy Yang had fallen.
MATCH 5 Joey Matthews w. Christian York V Kid Kash went to a No-Contest Joey Matthews and Kid Kash were having a good competitive match and Matthews had Kash down and was going up top when Jimmy Yang from behind sent York into the ring post before jumping onto the ring apron and crotching Matthews on the top rope. Referee had no choice to call for the bell even Kid Kash looked confused.
Yang has shared a couple of victories with Matthews so they have a little history after one defeat Yang called it the lowest point of his career but this attack was so out of character. Yang approached Kash who was now standing in the corner. Kash looked worried. Yang yelled in Kash’s face that his eyes are wide open before rolling out of the ring. A smile broke on Kid Kash’s face as he watched Yang leave while also smiled at York and Matthews getting medical assistance at ringside. Result; No Contest
Mike Tenay and Don West didn’t know what to make of Jimmy Yang’s attack and they hope to get answers soon but not it is time to look ahead to next week’s show before getting to tonight’s Main Event!
TNA18… - Main Event; Amazing Red V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell - James Storm V Elix Skipper - Jeff Jarrett’s Farewell Address to Ricky Steamboat
Quick recorded promo with Amazing Red aired with Red vowing next week that he was looking to shock the world by beating ‘The Monster’ Abyss and then nothing can deny Red the opportunity to challenge for the TNA Championship.
Jerry Lynn’s music hit in the arena and as Lynn the NO.1 contender made his way to ringside to join Tenay and West on commentary for tonight’s Main Event. Mike Tenay made it clear that it is everyone’s dream who works for TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling to one day be the TNA Champion.
(Up Next; Tonight’s Main Event: Non-Title Match; TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels V CM Punk…)
CM Punk and then TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels was both shown before coming out making their way from their locker rooms.
Jerry Lynn told Mike Tenay that Christopher Daniels is making the biggest mistake of his life overlooking him and if he continues to do so the morning after TNA20; Christopher Daniels will be waking up with his TNA title. Lynn vowed because he doesn’t want any excuses from Daniels after he beats him to do Daniels a favour and give him a reason to be worried about Jerry Lynn…
MATCH 6 Main Event Non-Title Match; TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels beat CM Punk via submission following his Koji Clutch In a match that rivals AJ Styles V Low Ki from TNA01 as the greatest match in TNA history, CM Punk went over 22 minutes with the TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels. Punk enhanced his reputation even in defeat tonight. Punk scored an unbelievably close near fall following a Shining Wizard only for Daniels to escape. In the end Daniels managed to trap Punk in his Koji Clutch and even though he tried to avoid it Punk had no choice but to tap out. Winner; Christopher Daniels
Christopher Daniels still after 7 matches has a 100% record while CM Punk with his 1st defeat now has a 75% record from 4 matches. CM Punk has nothing to be ashamed of tonight. Christopher Daniels was just the better man.
Mike Tenay and Don West sang the praises of both men as did Jerry Lynn who admitted that Christopher Daniels is great.
Christopher Daniels was handed his TNA title and Daniels dropped to his knees as Jerry Lynn was seen behind him standing at the announce table. Mike Tenay noticed that Christopher Daniels has not acknowledged Jerry Lynn in anyway. TNA17 went off the air with Christopher Daniels on his knees holding his TNA title above his head proudly with his back to Jerry Lynn.

TNA: Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 16th October 2002...A bit of a better layout, it's refreshing to see. I would recommend changing the beige/silver/red font colour to something more visible however, like red. Just for an easier viewing experience. Plus, it makes for a sharper and more stylish format. Christopher Daniels sure is living the high-life in his run as TNA World Heavyweight Champion. BG James and Ron Killings kicking off the show was a nice switch of momentum, as they discussed their upcoming match with the Alpha Male Enterprise in a couple of weeks time. James and Killings then proving their point against Alan Funk and Chase Stevens was fine; I look forward to Stevens becoming more relevant, potentially with the advent of the Naturals as a tag team: that would be nice to see, at least. Killings facing Monty Brown next month sounds pretty decent. Maybe a bit too far away to matter though, really. CM Punk is getting a big shine going into this big match with Daniels in the main event. Low Ki's interview was great, as he discussed the future, and revenge on Christopher Daniels, as well as facing AJ Styles again. I could see Ki being the man to knock off Daniels to win the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He would be a bit small as champion, though, trying to fight off potential challengers, such as Monty Brown, Ron Killings and Abyss, though. James Storm defeating Sonny Siaki was acceptable, not much to add to that. Ah, Kid Kash returns to TNA tonight, after a couple of weeks away from television. His match with Joey Matthews should be good. Abyss and AJ Styles exchanging words was good, preparing their feud for down the line. Abyss defeating Jay Briscoe was cool, a fair squash. I could have sworn that this happened last week, though. Nonetheless, we have Jerry Lynn on commentary in tonight's main event should be cool. I can see more progression for Lynn and Daniels happening later on. Ricky Steamboat ready for Jeff Jarrett is great; your top angle, me thinks. I think that once this is all said and done with, Jarrett will be ready to claim the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. These promos between Chris Harris and Curt Hennig have been well done, but I can not imagine Harris cutting such a good promo ever. Hennig is quite aggressive, eh? Christopher Daniels' interview was good, and provided a great paragraph on what his character exactly is. The Diamonds in the Rough...hah. A good win against Jimmy Yang and Shark Boy, in a fair match. Oh wait, Yang appears again? Nice interruption by Jimmy Yang against Christian York and Joey Matthews was fine, and a pairing with Kid Kash and Yang would be quite intriguing as a pair. I see you are quite experimental with some tag teams and alliances. Next week's edition of TNA sounds like a big one. The Amazing Red with some talk time before a match with Abyss next week sounds good...will be hard to believe that he can beat Abyss, though. I see Styles getting involved. And finally, a solid match between Christopher Daniels and CM Punk, with the right man winning. A solid win for Daniels, with Jerry Lynn not doing much of anything afterwards. Interesting stuff. Overall, another decent edition of TNA on pay-per-view. My complaint with these episodes however, is that they are quite formulaic. We are expected to see one match that is two-sided and competitive, whilst the others are slightly more angle based and one-sided to establish one talent. If this was on pay-per-view weekly, I feel like buys would be going more and more downhill. I'd maybe add a competitive match a week to a show, and maybe include some more dramatic matches to make the viewers want to buy the show on a weekly basis. Make an iMPACT.

Wednesday 23rd October, 2002
TNA – Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling
TNA18 Pay per View; 2 Hours Nashville, Tennessee
TNA Champion; Christopher Daniels – (21/8/02 – Won Gauntlet for the Gold)
Signed Matches TNA20; TNA Championship; © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn TNA21; Chris Harris V Curt Hennig TNA21; Ron Killings V Monty Brown TNA22; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell TNA23; Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett
Tonight’s Card; Main Event: Amazing Red V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell AJ Styles V Kid Kash James Storm V Elix Skipper w. Monty Brown Four Corners Match: Elimination Rules; Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) V Alan Funk and Chase Stevens V Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) V Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) Chris Harris V Jimmy Rave Shark Boy V Jimmy Yang
(TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…)
TNA18 opened with Jim Mitchell standing in the middle of the ring and not TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash as it does normally. Mitchell had a microphone in his hand. Mitchell demanded silence before speaking. Tonight Mitchell’s monster ‘The Monster’ Abyss will sacrifice Amazing Red for AJ Styles’ sins. Mitchell reminded everyone that he has ordered Abyss to wait until TNA22 to get his hands on AJ Styles and while it is killing Abyss having to wait in the end it will be worth it because at TNA22 Abyss will end AJ Styles. AJ Styles is apparently trying to play the big man, he is puffing out of his chest and he is telling the world that he is not scared of Abyss. Lies screamed Jim Mitchell, tonight Mitchell and Abyss are inviting AJ Styles to come to ringside and watch what awaits him and then after the match AJ Styles may realise that he actually is scared of ‘The Monster’ Abyss.
(Tonight’s Main Event; Amazing Red V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!)
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside as Tenay welcomed everyone to the show. Tenay and West then ran through the rest of tonight’s packed card. AJ Styles faces one of the toughest tests of his career when he takes on Kid Kash, James Storm goes up against Elix Skipper who will be accompanied Monty Brown. Chris Harris will be in action, Tenay wondered how Harris will react to his confrontation with Curt Hennig last week. There will be a Four Corners Elimination Tag Team match tonight plus Jeff Jarrett will hold a farewell address to the legend Ricky Steamboat.
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash was shown backstage. Borash revealed that also tonight both TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels and No.1 contender to the TNA title, Jerry Lynn are both here and there are rumours circulating that Jerry Lynn is going to call out Christopher Daniels tonight!
Highlights aired from last week’s Main Event between TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels and CM Punk which Daniels won via submission as Borash moved on to his next subject. Daniels and Punk had a war last week which has had the wrestling world buzzing this last week. Borash introduced some exclusive footage from after TNA17 went off the air and then an exclusive interview with CM Punk…
The exclusive footage showed CM Punk being checked over by the match official after being defeated by Christopher Daniels. Punk shook of the official and slowly got back to his feet where Punk was met with a standing ovation from the fans in attendance and a loud CM Punk chant. Fans in attendance standing as one to let CM Punk know he has earned their respect.
CM Punk exclusive interview a few moments later while Punk was changing out of his ring gear. Punk was asked by the camera man how it felt to receive the standing ovation from the fans plus while Punk was making his way back to the locker room he was stopped by a couple of wrestlers who also showed their respect to CM Punk. Punk was touched by the response from the crowd and Punk appreciates the show of respect from the men who stopped him but the fact remains that Punk failed tonight, he lost and that hurt more. CM Punk gave credit to Christopher Daniels saying he was great and said he would be surprised if there was a better wrestler alive today. Daniels has shown Punk the standard he has to better if he wants to go down in history as the greatest of all time. Tonight was a milestone night in CM Punk’s career it was the night CM Punk got a wake call a reality check and while the loss hurts it will only make him stronger, more determined to achieve to accomplish his goals his dreams.
MATCH 1 Chris Harris beat Jimmy Rave via submission with his Texas Cloverleaf Mike Tenay shared reports from the TNA Wrestling Academy this week were that Chris Harris was in a terrible mood all week after his confrontation with Curt Hennig. Hennig showed an aggressive side to himself last week which he hasn’t shown too often throughout his career. Jimmy Rave temper tantrum and bad attitude aside is showing great potential he just needs to turn his win loss record around.
Chris Harris now has a win percentage of 92% from 13 matches while Jimmy Rave stands at 11% after 9 matches. Winner; Chris Harris
(Wednesday 13th November, 2002: TNA21; Chris Harris V Curt Hennig!)
(Tonight; Jeff Jarrett bids farewell to Ricky Steamboat!)
(Up Next; James Storm V Elix Skipper w. Monty Brown…)
Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) made their way out together surrounded by their personal security team. AME have let everyone know their intentions of becoming the first TNA Tag Tea m champions. Skipper made his way into the ring while Brown stayed on the stage with his security team and Brown had a microphone in hand to respond to Ron Killings comments from last week. Brown admitted to hearing what Killings said last week before laughing of Killings comments. Monty Brown claims Ron Killings is in over his head, they are from different worlds and they play by different rules. Brown called Ron Killings a gutter rat who is in way over his head. Ron Killings may play by the rules of the street but Monty Brown plays by the rules of the jungle and Monty Brown is the king of the jungle…
On them words Ron Killings came running out on the stage and dove at Monty Brown only for Brown’s security team and TNA officials to hold Killings back. A crazy scene on the stage as Ron Killings was desperately trying to get at Monty Brown who was being protected by his team before they managed to escort Brown to safety. Ron Killings was like a wild man until he too was escorted backstage by officials.
Elix Skipper tried to walk out on the match after things had calmed down only for the match official to order Skipper to stay in the ring and face James Storm…
MATCH 2 James Storm beat Elix Skipper via pin fall with his Super kick Storm and Skipper had a good match which went just under 10 minutes and on this night it was Storm that came away with the career boosting victory. Skipper is a former multi times champion and has name value in the business a resume boosting win for Storm who got the victory following his Super kick.
James Storm after the match shouted out at the crowd that this is his house in his town before leaving through the crowd who swarmed around their hometown hero.
James Storms win percentage now stands at 77% from 13 matches while Elix Skipper has 38% record from 8 matches. Winner; James Storm
Elix Skipper was still on his back when BG James rolled into the ring with a microphone in hand. BG placed his knee across Skipper’s chest trapping Skipper to the mat so BG could warn Skipper that he and Ron Killings could get Skipper and Monty Brown whenever they wanted. BG stood up and motioned for the TNA Tag Team titles as Ron Killings walked out on stage with a huge smile on his face. Killings and BG sent a message tonight too Alpha Male Enterprise that they can get be gotten at.
(Wednesday 13th November, 2002; TNA21: Ron Killings V Monty Brown!)
TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels was shown backstage speaking with reporters not seeming worried by the rumours that tonight the No.1 contender to the TNA title, Jerry Lynn will call Daniels out.
AJ Styles was then shown backstage making his way out for tonight’s next contest pitting rising star AJ Styles against Kid Kash in what promises to be one of the toughest matches of AJ’s young career. Tenay also reminded viewers that earlier tonight Jim Mitchell invited AJ to ringside later tonight to watch Abyss make Amazing Red pay for AJ Styles’ sins in tonight’s Main Event.
(Wednesday 20th November, 2002; TNA 22; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!)
MATCH 3 AJ Styles beat Kid Kash via pin fall with after his Styles Clash from the middle rope AJ and Kash had a hard hitting competitive match. Tenay and West revealed that there has still been no confirmation that Kid Kash and Jimmy Yang are working in cahoots. Tenay did reveal that Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) would not be here this week but would return next week.
Styles eventually countered a tope rope hurricane-rona from Kash with a middle rope Styles Clash. Styles who had a bloody mouth had to work hard for this victory tonight after the match told Jeremy Borash at ringside that he would be at ringside for tonight’s Main Event and repeated again that he is not scared of ‘The Monster’ Abyss.
AJ Styles with a 64% win percentage from 11 matches while Kid Kash has a 17% win percentage from 6 matches which is less than expected from the bitter Kid Kash. Winner; AJ Styles
(Tonight’s Main Event; Amazing Red V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!)
Amazing Red was shown backstage getting ready for tonight’s Main Event, Red has impressed everyone since coming into TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling and reportedly is even under consideration for a shot at the TNA Championship but tonight Red faces his biggest challenge yet when he faces ‘The Monster’ Abyss.
The music of TNA Champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels hit in the arena and then a few seconds later the undefeated first ever TNA Champion walked out on to the stage. Rumours were going around today after last week’s show that Jerry Lynn would be calling Christopher Daniels out tonight. Daniels who was not dressed to wrestle took a microphone from ringside before entering the ring…
2 weeks away from Christopher Daniels defending his TNA title against Jerry Lynn at TNA20. Daniels wants to get this over with quickly because he has places to be its hard being champion but Christopher Daniels makes it look easy. Daniels has heard the rumours all day that Jerry Lynn was going to come out to the ring tonight and call him out because Lynn is offended, disrespected that he isn’t taking Lynn seriously that Christopher Daniels does not see Jerry Lynn as a threat to his TNA title. Daniels admitted that he has no reason to fear Jerry Lynn because God’s gift to professional wrestling is two steps ahead of everybody else just ask CM Punk and Low Ki. Daniels has proof he is not threatened by Jerry Lynn. Daniels is that confident he will retain his TNA title at TNA20 in 2 weeks that Daniels has agreed to face Amazing Red in a non-title match at TNA24 the first show of December. Fallen Angel is out to prove his doubters wrong and will go down in history as the greatest TNA Champion of all time. Jerry Lynn’s music hit and Lynn the No.1 contender was storming down the ramp clearly not happy about Daniels comments and looking for a fight…
As Jerry Lynn got to ringside he was surrounded by TNA officials as Daniels told Lynn he expected him to show up and toss his toys out of the pram and that’s why Daniels demanded TNA officials keep watch. Daniels reminded Lynn of the saying the truth hurts. Daniels stepped up on to the middle turnbuckle to tell Jerry Lynn that the reason Christopher Daniels is not threatened by Jerry Lynn is not because Lynn is a has-been it’s because Jerry Lynn was a never was! Lynn snapped and tried frantically to past the wall of TNA officials and as Lynn was trying and the camera was focused on Lynn all you could hear from the ring was and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ your TNA Champion!
Jerry Lynn was escorted back up the aisle as Christopher Daniels raised his TNA title high above his head in the middle of the ring. Tenay and West agreed that things were heating up between Daniels and Lynn and despite what Daniels thinks and claims TNA20 will be the toughest match of his career.
(Wednesday 6th November, 2002: TNA 20; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn!)
Video package aired looking at the growing TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, Tag Team division and the teams that are building the division like Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown), Alan Funk & Chase Stevens, Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews), Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo), Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) and BG James & Ron Killings plus Kid Kash and Jerry Lynn have made no secrets of their desire to find a partner so they can make history and become the first TNA Tag Team champions.
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash backstage had an announcement regarding the TNA Tag Team titles as everyone knows Ricky Steamboat’s time with TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling ends 27/11 at TNA23 and so his job as the on screen representative of TNA Management becomes free, on 4/12 an interim representative will be named to see out the year and then the plan as it stands at the minute is to name a full time replacement for Ricky Steamboat on 8/1/03 and one of their first tasks will be to determine how and when the first TNA Tag Team champions will be declared.
MATCH 4 Elimination Rules – 4 Corners Match Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) beat Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) and Alan Funk & Chase Stevens 1st Elimination; Briscoe Brothers eliminated Smooth Stallions – Jay pinned Mamaluke after springboard Doomsday Device 2nd Elimination; Diamonds in the Rough eliminated Alan Funk & Chase Stevens – Swinger pinned Stevens following a spine buster Final Elimination; Diamonds in the Rough won the match via pin fall after Diamond pinned Jay following their Problem Solver after Smooth Stallions took out Mark Briscoe behind the match officials back.
The 4 teams seemed hell bent on stealing the show and they had a good chaotic match which the match official at times had trouble controlling. Diamonds in the Rough came away with the victory but Briscoe Brothers impressed again and if it was not for Smooth Stallions, Jay & Mark may have scored the biggest victory of their young careers. A rivalry is brewing between the Briscoe Brothers and Smooth Stallions.
Alan Funk and Chase Stevens are still yet to gain a victory of any kind between them, but tonight they did have a better showing. Winners; Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond)
(Tonight; Jimmy Yang will be in action!)
(Up Next; Jeff Jarrett bids farewell to Ricky Steamboat!)
Footage from last week was shown of Ricky Steamboat in training for his match with Jeff Jarrett mixed in with comments from Chris Harris, Norman Smiley and Steamboat himself when he gave his farewell address a couple of weeks ago.
(Wednesday 27th November, 2002: TNA23; Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett!)
Ring Announcer, David Penzer introduced Jeff Jarrett who came out wearing white trousers and a grey shirt with shades. Jarrett made his way straight into the ring and snatched the microphone from Penzer. Fans were all over Jarrett with ‘Jarrett Sucks’ chants which Jarrett acknowledged by saying the fans were either stupid or liars to think that.
Jeff Jarrett did claim though that Ricky Steamboat would have the fans believe that he sucks but that is not true and regardless of what anyone else says he is the biggest star in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. Jarrett has won it all including being a multi time World Champion. Ricky Steamboat is an anchor around the neck of TNA wrestling and the sooner Ricky Steamboat leaves the better. Jarrett asked would a coach of a football, baseball, and basketball team bench their star player and go with a rookie? It makes no sense to Jarrett, Jarrett admitted that AJ Styles, Low Ki, Chris Harris, James Storm, Ron Killings all have potential but right now they are un proven AJ is a failure, Low Ki is injury prone, Curt Hennig is going to show Chris Harris he is far from perfect, James Storm is only near the Main Event because he is drinking buddies with Steamboat while he has beaten Ron Killings 4 times. Jarrett who was clearly very frustrated said standing here today he is the best TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling has to offer. Jarrett brought up Ricky Steamboat mentioning all of Jarrett’s demands claims that Jarrett wants to be handed everything. Jarrett admitted to it saying he should have been handed a shot at the TNA title he should be in all the Main Events because you make your star players happy so they don’t get up and leave for the opposition. Jeff Jarrett on 27/11 at TNA23 will prove to Ricky Steamboat that he is great and once Jarrett has sent Steamboat packing with the worst beating of his life it clears the way for Jarrett to take his place at the top of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling where it should have been all along…
Norman Smiley who is a trainer at the TNA Wrestling Academy and has been assisting Ricky Steamboat with his comeback made his into the ring, Smiley had a microphone in hand. Smiley first apologised for interrupting Jarrett but Smiley wanted to come out here tonight to let Jarrett know that Ricky Steamboat is ready for their match on 27/11 and Smiley hopes Jarrett is taking it as seriously as Steamboat is because Steamboat is looking better than ever and age just seems to be a number when it comes to Ricky Steamboat. Smiley turned to leave the ring when Jarrett grabbed hold of Smiley and planted him with his Stroke. Jarrett leaned down into Smiley’s face and told him to go tell Ricky Steamboat that he too he is ready for TNA23!
Mike Tenay and Don West hyped Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett after discussing Jarrett’s cheap attack on Norman Smiley which was totally uncalled for.
MATCH 5 YANG beat Shark via pin fall after a buzz saw kick Jimmy Yang in a recorded interview before the match claimed his eyes were now open. Yang who wasn’t as neat looking as normal and he hair was greasy looking with a full beard growing. Yang has listened to the words that Kid Kash had been saying to Joey Matthews and they hit home with him. Yang understands the bitterness that has taken over Kid Kash because it has now taken over him. Jimmy Yang expected to the come into TNA and climb to the top of the mountain but the fans wouldn’t allow it and Yang blames the fans for him not reaching the standards he set for himself. Jimmy Yang told Kid Kash they are one in the same, his eyes are open and together they could make history and become the first TNA Tag Team champions.
Mike Tenay noted during the match that Jimmy Yang has asked from this day forward to be known as just YANG because Jimmy sounds t0o friendly.
Yang in his match with Shark Boy showed a more ruthless side and it worked to his advantage with YANG getting the victory that has been escaping him the last couple of weeks. Winner; YANG
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash backstage announced that TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling has signed a wrestler called Ken Anderson to a contract before introducing a video Anderson has sent in promoting himself…
Ken Anderson who has short bleached blonde hair and was wearing a black suite with a white shirt which had a couple of the top buttons undone. Anderson was sitting behind a news desk. Anderson introduced himself and welcomed everyone to Ken Anderson’s Opinion. As Anderson spoke who ever Anderson spoke about appeared in a graphic at the top right hand corner of the screen in an uncompromising situation. In Ken Anderson’s opinion; • TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling needs Ken Anderson. • Ken Anderson is a superstar a headline maker and a future TNA Champion. • Amazing Red is a boy in a man’s world and Red’s balls must not yet have dropped! • Briscoe Brothers are a couple of dumb ugly hicks. • Ricky Steamboat needs to stop protecting AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett was the biggest star in TNA until now. • Shark Boy…Shark Boy…Shark Boy… enough said • Chris Harris is a total professional, very serious and a gr….. (Anderson pretended to fall asleep talking about Harris) • Finally Nashville, Tennessee absolutely sucks!! Ken Anderson said until next week that is his opinion, everyone is entitled to an opinion but his is the only opinion that matters!
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside they quickly spoke about Ken Anderson’s arrogance before hyping next week’s Pay per View which is the penultimate Pay per View before Christopher Daniels defends his TNA title against Jerry Lynn.
(Up Next: Tonight’s Main Event; Amazing Red V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell…)
Jim Mitchell and Abyss set up a chair at ringside for AJ Styles to come out and watch tonight’s Main Event. After Amazing Red had made his ring entrance AJ Styles did come out and took a seat at ringside to watch tonight’s Main Event.
Throughout the Main Event Jim Mitchell was screaming at Abyss to imagine he was in the ring with AJ Styles also Mitchell kept reminding Abyss how it was AJ that eliminated Abyss from the Gauntlet for the Gold match costing Abyss every think he has ever wanted.
MATCH 6 Main Event Abyss w. Jim Mitchell beat Amazing Red via pin fall after his Black Hole Slam Abyss did not have the match entirely his own way and even though Red has impressed before tonight in victory he may have impressed even more tonight in defeat. Red was easily Abyss’ toughest challenge to date with his speed being a real threat to Abyss but Red would need 3, 4 shots to rock Abyss but Abyss could hurt Red with one move.
Fans at one point also started to believe that Red could score a major upset but in the end after Abyss smashed Red with a Chokeslam there was only going to be one outcome. Abyss then took Red apart to send a message to AJ Styles while Mitchell screamed at AJ that he should be scared of Abyss. Abyss finally pinned Red after his Black Hole Slam.
Abyss now has a 71% win percentage overtaking Amazing Red who has dropped from 78% to 70% following his defeat tonight. Winner; Abyss
Abyss stood over Amazing Red as Jim Mitchell made his way into the ring. Mitchell kept asking AJ Styles if he was scared of Abyss now. AJ stood up at ringside so Mitchell challenged AJ to get into the ring and face his monster right now. Tenay noted that Mitchell had claimed that Abyss would not face AJ until their match but it seems like Abyss and Mitchell have changed their minds. Mitchell left the ring and demanded AJ get in the ring.
AJ Styles didn’t asking again and stepped up on to the ring apron and Abyss and AJ stared each other in the eye as the fans were on their feet only for Jim Mitchell to pull AJ Styles of the ring apron. Mitchell attempted to hit AJ with his walking cane but AJ grabbed hold of the cane and then chased Mitchell around the ring but it was a set up because AJ Styles ran straight into a Black Hole Slam from Abyss onto the ringside floor!!

TNA: Total Non-Stop Action: Wednesday 23rd October 2002...Seems like we're in for quite an eventful show tonight on TNA. Let's jump into it. I'm questioning the flow of the opening segment, as it featured a little too much, perhaps. The exclusive footage of CM Punk getting checked on and receiving a good ovation before his exclusive interview could have been saved for later in the show. It just slightly effects the flow of the show start, in my mind. When a show begins, I think fast-paced; a kickstart for the live audience with a promo or a match. With these two pre-taped segments, it makes for a plodding start to the show. A nice touch nonetheless, however. Chris Harris defeating Jimmy Rave was fine, the Texas Cloverleaf as his finish strikes me as amusing, though. Rave really does need to turn things around; my only complaint with this is that we've had something similar with Jimmy Yang...perhaps there's a team aligning soon? I just believe that you're in danger of running the same angle with various undercarders. A B-show would potentially be great for this, allowing some of these unlucky undercarders to get some momentum of their own. A decent promo next with Alpha Male Enterprises, and an enjoyable run-in from Ron Killings. I'm game for a feud between Monty Brown and Killings, as I think it'll make for some compelling matches and angles. Especially with the outnumbering factor against Killings. James Storm defeating Elix Skipper was fine, a decent win for Storm in what would be a good match. Another four weeks before AJ Styles and Abyss face off...can you really keep the build up for another four weeks? It seems to already be dragging slightly. AJ Styles defeating Kid Kash made for a solid match, much like their TNA encounters in real life. I sort of like the name "Bad Street Boys" for Christian York and Joey Matthews, but I do think it's more of a heel team name - plus a ripoff from the Fabulous Freebirds' theme, perhaps. Christopher Daniels' promo was solid, a decent promo from the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, two weeks prior to his match with Jerry Lynn. Hearing Lynn talk wouldn't have been fun to hear, though. Nonetheless, a pretty dramatic promo, providing Daniels with some offense as well as anger on the part of Jerry. Good build for their upcoming match. Maybe keep Lynn and Daniels away from one another next week, though. Keep it waiting until their big encounter in two weeks. Interesting outline for who can replace Ricky Steamboat, although I do think it shouldn't be so long-term. That's the biggest issue I have with this diary, unless you keep reminding me of this angle, but I'll most likely forget. Good to see the plans in line for the TNA World Tag Team Championships though, it's long overdue. A decent four-corner elimination tag team match with the Diamonds in the Rough going over, a nice outline of the tag team potential, featured here with just four of seven or eight vying teams to potentially take part in a good tournament. A very promo-heavy show this week, so I've noticed. A decent promo from Jeff Jarrett towards Ricky Steamboat, whose contract expires soon enough. Norman Smiley appears? Interesting. I liked Jarrett sending a message to Steamboat, very good stuff here. There may be too much heel momentum on this show though, it could be best to even things out a bit in future. YANG getting a win against Shark Boy was fine, I'm not sure if I can get behind Jimmy Yang's new direction though, however. Hmm, I'm not too sure about Ken Anderson coming in in 2002, but I do like this spot with Ken's Opinion. Very interesting concept here. He's coming across as a heel - perhaps you could have these segments interrupt other peoples' promos. That could also kickstart a feud for Anderson. Finally, a bit of a weak main event here - I'd have ended the show with Daniels and Lynn's promo, personally. Abyss would really destroy Amazing Red, honestly. It delivered a message to AJ Styles however, but I'm not looking forward to another four weeks of build for this feud; AJ and Abyss always had good matches, but maintaining a feud for nearly two months is a bit too long, in my mind. Overall, a heel dominated, promo-heavy show with some cool outlines for the future. Not too bad, other than the booking mistakes listed above.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash standing on the stage welcomed everyone watching to TNA19 before hyping tonight’s Main Event a grudge match from the TNA Tag Team Division. Also tonight Borash would interview AJ Styles in the middle of the ring after AJ was laid out by Abyss last week. Up first tonight ahead of challenging for the TNA Championship, Jerry Lynn has demanded a match and TNA management have given Lynn an opportunity to let out his frustration.
Tonight’s Main Event; BG James & Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)!
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside as Jerry Lynn’s music hit in the arena. Tenay and West also hyped that tonight Jeff Jarrett will be in action as would CM Punk for the first time since failing to beat Christopher Daniels 2 weeks ago. Also tonight we would see a 2 out of 3 falls match when Briscoe Brothers take on Smooth Stallions plus Christian York faces Kid Kash!
Jerry Lynn did not look like he was in the best mood and as Lynn waited for his opponent (Alan Funk) to come out we were reminded via a video package of what went down last week between Jerry Lynn and TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels…
Christopher Daniels admitted that he was not threatened by Jerry Lynn and even revealed that he has made plans to face Amazing Red in a Non-Title match after facing Lynn next week. Lynn came out but was surrounded by TNA officials. Daniels continued to disrespect Jerry Lynn by calling him a ‘never was’…
MATCH 1 Jerry Lynn beat Alan Funk via pin fall with a TKO Jerry Lynn sent Christopher Daniels a message that he is ready to challenge for the TNA championship next week after taking Alan Funk apart before putting the winless Funk away with his TKO. Lynn took a big risk tonight by agreeing to a match only a week ahead of him challenging for the TNA title. Lynn who took his win percentage tonight to 75% paced around the ring until TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels appeared on the big screen… Winner; Jerry Lynn
‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels placed his TNA title over his shoulder. Daniels asked Lynn if he is now supposed to be threatened by him just because Lynn beat a man who is 0-13. Jerry Lynn requested a microphone while Daniels was talking. Daniels asked Lynn if he wanted to cancel next week to save Lynn from embarrassment. Lynn shouted Daniels down and called him an arrogant sob. Lynn told Daniels that arrogance will not be the downfall of Christopher Daniels, the lack of respect for Jerry Lynn will be Christopher Daniels’ downfall. Lynn promised by the end of the night Christopher Daniels will know what Lynn and everyone else knows that next week Jerry Lynn will beat Christopher Daniels to become the new TNA champion.
Wednesday 6th November, 2002: TNA 20; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn!
Camera’s cut backstage where Jeremy Borash was chasing down TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels who had his stuff and seemed to be making his way out of his arena. Borash caught up with Daniels and asked him where he was going. Daniels claimed he had no reason to stick around tonight but then Daniels stopped himself and told Borash that he would let Jerry Lynn humour him and he will stick around but Daniels said Lynn and everyone else needs to learn that he the ‘Fallen Angel’ is the measuring stick.
Tonight; Jeff Jarrett will be in action!
Up Next; Christian York w. Joey Matthews V Kid Kash…
MATCH 2 Kid Kash beat Christian York w. Joey Matthews via pin fall following a running Powerbomb Rivalry between Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and Kid Kash is getting even more heated. Kash feels betrayed by Joey Matthews while Matthews & York want revenge on Kash.
York and Kash were having a good match until YANG came out of nowhere and slid into the ring only to be stopped by the match official it distracted both Matthews and York who was in the middle of the 10 punch in the corner. Kash used the distraction to low blow York and then smash him with a running power bomb for the victory.
YANG had now backed away from the ring. Kid Kash rolled straight out of the ring and Joey Matthews rolled straight in to check on his partner Christian York. There is still no confirmation that YANG & Kid Kash are working together but Kash is looking for a tag team partner and YANG has already offered his service to Kash and tonight has once again shown he has Kid Kash’s back and tonight with YANG’s help Kid Kash improved his win percentage to 29%. Winner; Kid Kash
The locker room of Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) was shown backstage being guarded by their personal security team ahead of tonight’s Main Event against BG James & Ron Killings.
AJ Styles was then shown in the trainer’s room having his taped ribs checked over by the TNA doctor after being attached by ‘The Monster’ Abyss, following the next match Jeremy Borash would speak with AJ Styles.
Wednesday 13th November, 2002: TNA21; Chris Harris V Curt Hennig!
Mike Tenay and Don West were shown at ringside as they spoke about how next week kicks off a big month for TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. In November there will be 4 big shows with 5 huge Main Events and one of them Main Events in 2 weeks’ time will see Curt Hennig take on Chris Harris. Tenay revealed that earlier in the week tnatotalnonstopactionwrestling.com quickly spoke with Hennig but what Hennig said deserves to be seen by a wider audience because it’s quite telling of Curt Hennig’s attitude going into his match with Chris Harris just how much this match means to Curt Hennig…
Curt Hennig told tnatotalnonstopactionwrestling.com that people are questioning Hennig’s attitude lately because he is so aggressive which is out of character for Curt Hennig but Hennig needs people to realise just how important this match is to him because while there may not be a World title on the line something more important is, his name and in 2 weeks against Chris Harris it may be Hennig’s last chance and he will not let himself down.
MATCH 3 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) beat Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) 2 falls to 1 (1-0) Smooth Stallions scored the first fall after a running boot from Romeo to Mark into a German supflex from Mamaluke straight into a bridge. (1-1) Briscoe Brothers evened the score after Jay Briscoe spiked Mamaluke with a his Jay Driller (2-1) Briscoe Brothers won the match after nailing Mamaluke with their springboard Doomsday Device Briscoe’s and Smooth Stallions 2 young teams with the world at their feet had an exciting match which had the fans on the edge of their seats. A rivalry between the 2 teams has been brewing between and on this night it was Jay & Mark Briscoe which came away with the victory. Both teams on tonight’s evidence have the ability to go and become two of the top tag teams in the business today.
2003 TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling will crown their first TNA Tag Team champions and there is no reason why the Briscoe Brothers cannot shock the world and make history by becoming the first TNA Tag Team champions. Winner; Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe)
Jerry Lynn was shown backstage talking with TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling officials as Mike Tenay wondered what Lynn the N0.1 contender for the TNA title had in store for TNA champion, Christopher Daniels later tonight.
Up Next; AJ Styles…
Footage was shown from TNA18 of ‘The Monster’ Abyss beating Amazing Red in the Main Event following his Black Hole Slam as Tenay introduced an interview conducted earlier in the day when Jeremy Borash spoke with Amazing Red. Last week must have been a bitter sweet night for Amazing Red because while he was beaten by Abyss it was also announced that at TNA24 Red would get the chance to face TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels in a Non-Title match. Red said there is no guarantee that Daniels will be champion. Red admitted he was hurting but was confident he could shock the world and beat Christopher Daniels because styles make fights and Red is confident that while may not look like a champion after he gets in the ring with Daniels he could shock the world and be the TNA champion.
Video package aired looking at ‘The Monster’ Abyss’ dominance over TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling showing footage of Abyss led by James Mitchell dominating the Gauntlet for the Gold match as well as showing the beatings Abyss has given to the likes of Norman Smiley, Briscoe Brothers, Amazing Red, Sabu who has not been seen since being dumped through a table by Abyss and of course last week when Abyss slammed AJ Styles on the cold concrete floor with his Black Hole Slam. Video ended with Jim Mitchell warning everyone they should be scared of his monster ‘The Monster’ Abyss!
Wednesday 20th November, 2002; TNA 22; AJ Styles V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!
TNA Reporter, Jeremy Borash standing in the middle of the ring introduced his guest at this time… AJ Styles!
AJ Styles came out to a popular ovation from the crowd in attendance, AJ was a lot slower tonight as we seen earlier tonight AJ has bruised ribs after Abyss dropped AJ with his Black Hole Slam on the floor here at ringside last week.
Borash asked AJ Styles how he was feeling after the attack from Abyss last week. AJ is banged up and hurting but more importantly AJ is pissed off. Jim Mitchell called AJ a monster a few weeks back and now in 3 weeks Abyss is going to see a nasty side to AJ Styles because AJ can fight, AJ can get dirty if need be. Borash said it is pretty clear that Jim Mitchell and Abyss are trying to strike fear into AJ Styles, Borash if after last week does AJ now fear what it in store for him when he faces Abyss. AJ wanted to make himself clear he is not afraid of any man and while Abyss has a black heart shows no remorse, weighs over 3oolbs and stands close to 7 ft tall Abyss is still a man and a man can be beaten and AJ has to beat Abyss if he wants to earn a shot at the TNA title because for AJ that’s what this is about, that’s what everything is about becoming the TNA champion. AJ told Borash and the fans that he will become the TNA champion…
Jeremy Borash after interviewing AJ Styles took the time to announce that it has been confirmed that on Wednesday 4th December, 2002 TNA24… Low Ki will return! A smile broke on AJ Styles’ face as the announcement was made by JB. Mike Tenay reminded everyone that after their classic at TNA01 the wrestling world is waiting for AJ-Low Ki II.
Up Next; Jeff Jarrett…
MATCH 4 Jeff Jarrett beat Chase Stevens via referee stoppage Chase Stevens requested tonight’s match with Jeff Jarrett after what happened last week to Norman Smiley because Stevens is training during the week at the TNA Wrestling Academy under Chris Harris and Norman Smiley and alongside Ricky Steamboat.
Stevens was game and at times had Jarrett rocked but eventually Jarrett’s talent and experience showed. After dropping Stevens with his Stroke, Jarrett locked Stevens in the figure four and instead of checking on Stevens the match official called for the bell.
Jeff Jarrett with 7 wins from 10 matches now has a win percentage of 70% and after his match with Ricky Steamboat has made it clear that his sights are set on the TNA championship.
Jarrett demanded a microphone after the match, Jarrett knows Ricky Steamboat is watching and if Steamboat wasn’t sure Jarrett now hopes after these last two weeks Ricky Steamboat see’s that not only is Jarrett ready but he is 100% focused on sending Steamboat on his way with the worst beating of his life. Jarrett repeated what Mike Tenay had just mentioned about the TNA title saying that once he has taken out the trash he wants to be handed his shot at the TNA title. Winner; Jeff Jarrett
Wednesday 27th November, 2002: TNA23; Ricky Steamboat V Jeff Jarrett!
Jeremy Borash was standing by backstage with Ron Killings and BG James ahead of tonight’s Main Event. BG told Borash that it was not a night for catch phrases and one-liners tonight was about business and tonight he and Ron Killings are going to handle their business. Killings took the microphone and said he has been waiting to get his hands on Monty Brown but all Monty does for all his talk is run and hide so tonight Killings is going to put it out there. Tonight the bell is going to ring and Killings is going to stand in the middle of the ring and Killings challenged Monty Brown to met him there…
Tonight’s Main Event; BG James & Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)!
MATCH 5 CM Punk beat Sonny Siaki via pin fall with back slide CM Punk rebounded well from in his first match since his heartbreaking loss to Christopher Daniels a couple of weeks ago. Siaki made it tough for Punk and the two had a competitive match which went just over 10 minutes but it was Punk who came away with the winner after he countered Siakolypse running neck breaker with a back slide.
CM Punk, the straight edge superstar from Chicago rolled straight out of the ring and it was clear Punk was delighted or relived to come away with the victory. CM Punk has big dreams but Punk has the potential to make his dreams a reality.
CM Punk improves his win percentage tonight too 80% from 5 matches with his only loss coming against TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels. Winner; CM Punk
Jeremy Borash standing backstage again reminded everyone that at TNA24 04/12/02 an interim on screen representative of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling management will be named before a full time replacement will be named on 08/01/03. Borash stopped his announced to call over CM Punk who had made his way backstage following his victory over Sonny Siaki. Borash asked Punk for his feelings…
CM Punk claimed that was the toughest match of his life because not only did Punk have to over come the under estimated Sonny Siaki but Punk also had to overcome disappointment for the first time ever and that was hard but that’s what great and champions do and that’s what CM Punk did tonight. Punk told Borash they are all watching Punk’s journey to greatness.
Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside introduced the second instalment of Ken Anderson’s Opinion. The newcomer Anderson had a lot to say last week lets see what Anderson has install for us all this week…
Again like last week Anderson was in his studio and pictures of whomever he was talking about who appear on screen in unflattering positions. Also more noticeable this week was how bright Anderson’s hair, tan and teeth were. In Ken Anderson’s opinion; • Ken Anderson has movie star good looks • Ken Anderson has unmatched charisma • Mr. Straight Edge (CM Punk) looks like a junkie and Ken Anderson asked if someone could give Punk a dollar • TNA is the home of to many freaks, Abyss, Jim Mitchell, Jeremy Borash, William Muellar, Shark Boy (Anderson also asked what is a Shark Boy?) • Jerry Lynn may have been a star at another time in another place but here in TNA eventually Lynn will learn that he over achieved being a respect veteran • Capital letters do not make you tougher • Ron Killings belongs in jail • Finally, Nashville Tennessee absolutely sucks!! Ken Anderson told everyone to remember that everyone is entitled to their opinion but his opinion is the only opinion that matters!
Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside couldn’t catch their breath at some of Ken Anderson’s comments which are uncalled for and disrespectful. Ken Anderson is making enemies before even stepping foot inside a TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling ring. Mike Tenay and Don West then turned their attention to hyping tonight’s Main Event which was up next…
Up Next; Tonight’s Main Event: BG James & Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)…
Wednesday 13th November, 2002; TNA21: Ron Killings V Monty Brown!
MATCH 6 Main Event BG James & Ron Killings V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) went to a no contest Ron Killings true to his word stood in the middle of the ring waiting for the bell to ring waiting for Monty Brown to make his move. Brown entered the ring and stood in his corner as the match official called for the bell but as soon as Killings moved towards Brown he was quick to tag out, again avoiding Killings.
It was announced during the match that next week BG James would take on Elix Skipper in a one on one match ahead of Killings facing Monty Brown in 2 weeks time.
Monty Brown throughout the match kept away from Ron Killings until Killings and BG took care of Skipper leaving Brown with no where to go he was surrounded by both Ron Killings and BG James until Alpha Male Security entered the ring and jumped both Killings and James. The match got thrown out immediately; Brown rolled out of the ring and called the shots from outside of the ring.
Mike Tenay counted 8 men working for Alpha Male Security beating down Killings & James who were trying to fight back and unbelievably it Killings and James started to clear the ring but then Brown sneaked back into the ring and took Killings out a running shoulder tackle which sent Killings flying across the ring landing hard. Brown was again quickly out of the ring and Skipper and security were right behind him.
Monty Brown talked trash from the stage as BG James and the match official checked on Ron Killings, the numbers once again playing to Monty Brown’s advantage. Winner; No Contest
While awaiting the final segment of the evening between no.1 contender, Jerry Lynn and TNA Champion, Christopher Daniels, Tenay and West quickly spoke about the situation between Ron Killings and Monty Brown and they both hope that TNA management insure that when Killings and Brown meet in 2 weeks time it stays Killings V Brown. Jerry Lynn’s music then hit in the arena, Jerry Lynn vowed earlier tonight that by the time the night was over Christopher Daniels would see Jerry Lynn as a threat to his TNA championship…
Jerry Lynn made his way into the ring after asking for a microphone, Lynn was still dressed to wrestle before Lynn could say a word the music of TNA champion, Christopher Daniels interrupted and the ‘Fallen Angel’ the man who defends his TNA title against Lynn next week walked out on to the stage to hear what Lynn had to say.
Lynn told Daniels he could join him in the ring if he wishes because unlike Daniels last week Lynn has not requested TNA officials split them up if they were to go at it tonight. Lynn admitted that he did find it disrespectful that Daniels didn’t consider him a threat to the TNA title but then Lynn thought it over and he realised that Christopher Daniels is not a threat to him and nothing is stopping Jerry Lynn from becoming the new TNA champion.
Christopher Daniels didn’t seem to be buying what Lynn was saying…
Jerry Lynn continued that Christopher Daniels is lucky to even be the TNA champion, those words got Daniels attention. Lynn reminded everyone that Daniels drew a good number in the Gauntlet for the Gold match but even then AJ Styles would have eliminated Daniels if Daniels had not got lucky and his foot had not landed on the ring step. Daniels was getting angry at ringside now, ordering Lynn to shut his mouth. Lynn wasn’t finished Lynn also believes as does everyone else that if Low Ki had not got injured Low Ki would be standing here tonight as the TNA champion a respected champion. Daniels was screaming at Lynn to shut his mouth. Lynn wasn’t done yet, Lynn mentioned how Daniels walks around acting like the king of the world when the truth is everyone sees through Christopher Daniels, no one respects Christopher Daniels and Daniels is just keeping the TNA title warm until he faces Lynn next week. Lynn told Daniels that the reason he has his critics his doubters is because no one believes in Christopher Daniels and that is the gospel according to Jerry Lynn the next TNA champion. Lynn away from the microphone shouted to Daniels as he paced around in a circle at ringside that he is two steps ahead of Christopher Daniels…
Daniels snapped and ran into the ring but Lynn took Daniels down and the two men exchanged blows on the mat. Daniels racked Lynn’s eyes and set wanted his last rites but Lynn countered with a back body drop before Lynn spiked Daniels with a tornado DDT out of the corner. Lynn wasn’t done he picked Daniels up before dropping Daniels in the middle of the ring with his TKO. Lynn walked around the ring staring at the fallen, ‘Fallen Angel’. Lynn picked up the microphone and told Daniels that if that doesn’t beat him, this will…
Jerry Lynn scooped Daniels up and lifted Christopher Daniels up for his Spike pile driver a move which Lynn has used throughout his career but is yet to use here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling just showing the importance of his match against Daniels next week. Lynn held Daniels up too long in position showing off to the fans which allowed Daniels to kick himself free and quickly roll out of the ring.
Fans were on their feet as Jerry Lynn celebrated and motioned for the TNA championship. Mike Tenay noted that Jerry Lynn has gotten into Christopher Daniels’ head and now there is no doubt that Christopher Daniels sees Jerry Lynn as a threat to his TNA title. Christopher Daniels was lying in the aisle with the TNA title resting over his body as TNA19 went off the air with Jerry Lynn standing tall in the middle of the ring.
Wednesday 6th November, 2002: TNA 20; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Jerry Lynn!

Mitchell said AJ was in denial because every man, woman and child should be scared of Abyss because no one is safe from his monster. AJ has felt the power of Abyss and now AJ can barely walk but that is nothing compared to what is going to happen to AJ in 2 weeks because in 2 weeks, his monster Abyss will end AJ Styles’ career before it gets started.
• Video Package; hyped next week’s Main Event between former World Champion and legend Curt Hennig and ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris who has taken TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling by storm but also Harris also almost cost Hennig his last shot in this business.
• MATCH 4; Alan Funk beat Chase Stevens via pin fall: Earlier in the night backstage Stevens told Funk he had requested a match against him telling his regular tag team partner that they both needed to improve their winning percentage. It seemed Stevens seen it as a chance of getting his first victory while Funk didn’t seem too fond of facing Stevens.

• KEN ANDERSON’S OPINION; Ken Anderson as always spoke about himself comparing himself to the greats of this business like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair etc calling himself what the wrestling business has been waiting for. Anderson this week insulted Alan Funk, Chase Stevens, Ricky Steamboat, Curt Hennig among others before finishing as always by saying that Nashville, Tennessee absolutely sucks.
• MATCH 5; MAIN EVENT: TNA CHAMPIONSHIP – © Christopher Daniels beat Jerry Lynn via pin fall – Daniels and Lynn had a great match which went around 15 minutes but in the end Daniels scored the victory after putting Lynn away with his Angel Wings.

Wednesday 13.11.02 TNA21

Lynn gave credit to Christopher Daniels saying Daniels may have a bad attitude but there was no denying Daniels being a world class talent. Lynn announced that he would now be turning his attention to the TNA Tag Team titles. Lynn has made it no secret that he would like to find a partner and attempt to make history by becoming half of the first ever TNA Tag Team champions. Afterwards fans showed their respect to Jerry Lynn the former multi weight World Champion.
• Earlier Today; Alan Funk told Chase Stevens that he had registered their team name with TNA management… 1 and 0. Funk explained he was the 1 and Stevens was the 0 because Funk beat Stevens last week. Chase Stevens was clearly not happy but couldn’t say anything after he put himself in this position by requesting the match with Funk last week.
• Match 2; Kid Kash & YANG beat 1 and O (Alan Funk & Chase Stevens) via pin fall after Kash pinned Funk
• Announcement; Next Week; Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) V Kid Kash & YANG!
• LOW KI RETURNS 04.12.02
• KEN ANDERSON’S OPINION; Ken Anderson claimed this week wasn’t about bad mouthing everyone else but Anderson couldn’t help have a couple of cheap shots at BG James & Ron Killings it was about making a huge announcement. Next week Ken Anderson would be at TNA22 the only problem is the show is being held in Nashville, Tennessee and Nashville, Tennessee absolutely sucks!
• Match 3; James Storm beat Jimmy Rave via pin fall – Storm grabbed a microphone after the match and said it seems as if Ken Anderson has a problem with his hometown so next week Storm would personally welcome Ken Anderson and his big mouth to Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling by knocking him out!
• Ricky Steamboat Sit Down Interview; Ricky Steamboat sat down with Mike Tenay earlier this week and spoke about Steamboat’s issue with Jeff Jarrett. Steamboat said his main issue with Jarrett is the fact that Jarrett wants to be handed everything on a silver plate. Jarrett is one of the best wrestlers of the last few years a multi time World Champion he has headlined many major events and has made some unbelievable money but that was somewhere else and not here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. TNA management does not favour any man over another and the best will be given an opportunity that Jarrett is demanding. Tenay asked Steamboat if it was wise to be coming out of retirement to face Jeff Jarrett in 2 weeks’ time. Steamboat said probably not but in 2 weeks’ time Steamboat may not beat Jeff Jarrett but he will beat some respect into Jeff Jarrett and as a man and former wrestler there was no way he could reject Jeff Jarrett’s challenge and continue to look himself in the mirror.

Last week Storm demanded an apology only for Anderson to strike Storm in the mouth with a microphone. • Backstage; James Storm told Jeremy Borash that he gave Ken Anderson the opportunity last week to apologise and Anderson refused so now Anderson has to pay with an ass whooping and after Storm has kicked Anderson’s teeth down his throat then Storm is going to go out and party in Nashville! • Match 2; James Storm beat Ken Anderson via count out – Anderson avoided Storm’s super kick by rolling out of the ring but instead of getting back into the ring Anderson bailed and waved the match off leaving Storm frustrated. Ken Anderson took the easy way out tonight. • Match 3; Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) via pin fall – Return to winning ways for Alpha Male Enterprises after their recent individual losses, Monty Brown in particular looked impressive tonight and it was Monty who scored the win following a sit out power bomb. • TNA News; TNA27 Wednesday 8th, January 2003 – 2003 kicks off with AJ Styles V Jeff Jarrett but also be announced how the first ever TNA tag team champions will be crowned! • Video Package; ‘The Monster’ Abyss has been dominant over the TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling roster sending Norman Smiley into retirement, possibly ending the career of a ‘Hardcore Legend’ in Sabu.

Is there anyone in TNA who can stop Abyss or is Abyss destined to dominate TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling as the TNA champion? • Backstage; Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles were both shown getting ready for tonight’s Main Event. Both men have something to prove tonight. Jerry Lynn wants to prove his first victory wasn’t because of Jeff Jarrett plus Lynn needs to respond to losing to Christopher Daniels last month.

Fans were on their feet for Hennig after the bell and as Mike Tenay put it with his performance against Chris Harris and his victory over recent World Champion, Steve Corino here tonight.

Daniels took exception to Piper’s words telling Piper that for some reason the cool thing to do is to doubt Christopher Daniels. Daniels asked what he has to do to prove himself. Daniels reminded Piper that he is 9-0 he beat every man on the roster to make history and become the first TNA champion. Daniels has beat BG James, James Storm, Amazing Red, CM Punk, Low Ki and Jerry Lynn. Daniels told Piper that his opponents afterwards can’t help but give him respect because Daniels is God’s Gift to professional wrestling. Piper was smiling in Daniels’ face. Piper likes pushing people’s buttons. Daniels told Piper that, Daniels holding the TNA title should be enough to prove himself to everyone because being the TNA champion means you are the best wrestler in the world. Daniels said Piper shouldn’t be questioning him, Daniels should be questioning Piper and questioning if Piper is as good as people are led to believe because unlike Daniels, Piper was never the best in the world. Piper tried to cut Daniels off but Daniels shouted over Piper saying Piper should never disrespect the TNA champion. Piper snapped back telling Daniels his aim tonight was to see the fire in Daniels because it proves this all means something to Daniels and Piper doesn’t doubt Christopher Daniels being the measuring stick and years ago at a different time in a different place Piper would have loved to get in the ring with Christopher Daniels. Piper warned Daniels that as along as he is holding the TNA championship he will always have to prove himself because the world is watching him now. Piper then announced to Christopher Daniels that his next challenger to the TNA championship has been named and at a date to be determined Christopher Daniels will defend his TNA championship against… Chris Harris! Christopher Daniels stepped up into Roddy Piper’s face and Daniels confidently told Piper that on that night Piper will be left with no doubt that he is the real deal. • Reaction; Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside reacted to Christopher Daniels verbal confrontation with Roddy Piper.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling News…
• TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling has parted ways with William Muellar and Sonny Siaki. • There is also talk that Steve Corino may be moving into a backstage role or even possibly a commentator. • TNA Management held a meeting this week and while they are generally happy with the way the company is progressing they believe they could still do more to give the company its own identity. One idea that has been discussed is changing up the commentary team moving Mike Tenay into a backstage role and possibly removing Don West from the table also. Jeremy Borash is the front runner to take a seat at the table but his broadcast partner is still being discussed. This rumoured to be one of many ideas. • TNA source revealed that TNA are planning a big show for their first year anniversary in June with management in talks with one big name and the card already set. • January will see the much anticipated AJ Styles V Jeff Jarrett match which has been building since day one but also the tournament to crown the first TNA tag team champions will begin.

A solid month of shows with a lot of progressing for the undercard with the likes of CM Punk, Ken Anderson and others, which is good. I am liking the main event scene being focused upon Christopher Daniels as TNA Champion. I'd like to see him progress on through time to be the 'face of the company' kind of deal, as in reality he has been on the fringe of that really by being around for so long. Looking forward to the Daniels-Harris match coming up in 2003. Keep it up.

I am a bit unsure of you progressing through a heavy number of weeks in the form of quick results, but at the same time, it does give me a bit of a better understanding of exactly what is going on currently. CM Punk and Ken Anderson getting their big breaks in TNA during this time is certainly interesting, and I definitely have my eye on them. Christopher Daniels remaining a dominant champion is nice to see, though I will say that I wouldn’t be against a TNA Championship reign for Chris Harris in 2003. I was pretty big on him in the earlier stages of TNA. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett on TNA27 is also something to look forward to. The Christmas Bonus Tournament was also an interesting way to cap off the year, and I’m glad that James Storm came out on top in it. Would love to see him have a big 2003. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store as we enter the new year. Good work.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling
January 2003
Wednesday 08.01.2003 TNA27
TNA Champion; Christopher Daniels (21.08.02 – Gauntlet for the Gold match)
• Recorded Promo; AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett both made comments before tonight’s Main Event. Jeff Jarrett said AJ Styles will one day be great but that day is not today and it doesn’t make sense to be playing a rookie the big game when you have a star quarter back sitting on the bench. Jarrett beats AJ Styles tonight then he is coming for the TNA title. AJ Styles has had to listen to Jeff Jarrett doubt him from day one but tonight AJ Styles proves to the world that ‘names’ don’t mean anything you just need to earn your opportunities. Tonight AJ Styles proves he is not a failure by beating Jeff Jarrett and vows that 2003 will be Phenomenal.
• TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…
• Mike Tenay and Don West welcomed everyone to the first show of 2003 before speaking about the big fight feel in the arena tonight because in tonight’s Main Event we would see AJ Styles finally face Jeff Jarrett. Also TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and No.1 contender Chris Harris sign the contract to make their TNA championship match official but up first tonight Jeremy Borash is standing by waiting to introduce the new permanent on screen representative of TNA management…
• Jeremy Borash introduced the new permanent on screen representative of TNA management… Dusty Rhodes!
The ‘American Dream’ and former multi time World Champion joined Borash in the ring to a huge ovation from the crowd. Rhodes has been following Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling from day one and it hooked Rhodes from day one. Dusty said he and TNA have the same beliefs and they are the most important thing is winning, getting to the pay window and become a TNA champion! Dusty later tonight will be out here when the 2 best wrestlers in the world currently Chris Harris and TNA champion, Christopher Daniels to sign their contract to make their TNA championship match official but now Dusty wants to make an announcement regarding the TNA tag team championship. In 3 weeks the tournament will begin with four qualifying matches and then the four winners will meet over the next few weeks in a round robin format to determine the first ever TNA tag team champions. Rhodes said the qualifying matches will be announced next week but now Rhodes wanted to reveal the teams with the opportunity to make history and become the first TNA tag team champions… Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews), Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond), BG James & Ron Killings, Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo), Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), RATS – Rebel Against the System (Kid Kash & YANG), Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown), 1 and 0 (Alan Funk & Chase Stevens) and… Jerry Lynn & Amazing Red!
• In Ring; Jerry Lynn and Amazing Red came out and joined Dusty Rhodes and Jeremy Borash in the ring. Lynn reminded everyone that he was on the lookout for a tag team partner and by choosing Amazing Red, Lynn believes he has picked the right partner to go on and make history with by becoming the first TNA tag team champions. Diamonds in the Rough interrupted. Simon Diamond with Johnny Swinger told Lynn that he was fooling himself if he thinks he can just grab hold of a partner come into the tag team division and just win the TNA tag team titles just because Lynn failed to make it in the singles division. Dusty Rhodes stepped in and announced that they would cut the talking and get to fighting. Rhodes called for a referee and announced that Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn against Diamonds in the Rough would begin right now!
• Match 1; Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn via pin fall after Swinger pinned Lynn following their Problem Solver – Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn learned tonight that it’s going to be harder than they thought to make history and become the first ever TNA tag team champions and they will have to gel fast as a team to have any realistic hope. Impressive win for Diamonds in the Rough.
• Highlights; James Storm won 25k by winning the Christmas Bonus Tournament at TNA26 after beating Ken Anderson, CM Punk & Kid Kash in a fatal four way elimination match…
• Backstage Promo; James Storm said the Storm household had a great Christmas and New Year after bringing home a little extra bacon from work. Knocking Ken Anderson actually gave the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ more satisfaction than winning the money. Storm said looking forward into 2003 he has a message for everyone on the TNA roster take your eye of James Storm even for a second and you will get knocked out!
• Match 2; James Storm beat Jimmy Rave via pin fall – Mike Tenay during the match revealed that there is a strong rumour going around backstage that over the Christmas holidays a loved one of Jimmy Rave rumoured to be a girl friend or even his Mother rang TNA management begging to safe Rave’s job and promising that Jimmy Rave would do better.
• Tonight; Low Ki V Mr. Anderson!
• Backstage; TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels was shown looking over the contract for his match with No.1 contender ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris.
• Ringside; Mike Tenay and Don West spoke about Chris Harris informing the newer TNA fans who may not be as aware of Harris as the regular fans. Chris Harris has wrestled 16 matches in TNA winning 15 with his only defeat being in the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Harris who is the head trainer at the TNA Wrestling Academy has never been pinned or made to tap out. Tenay said Harris reminds him a lot of wrestling great Bret Hart. Harris takes himself very seriously a great wrestler who prides himself on his professionalism and it would not surprise Mike Tenay or Don West if Chris Harris beat Christopher Daniels to become the new TNA champion.
• Backstage; Ken Anderson told Jeremy Borash in his opinion no one made a bigger statement in Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling than him last year and he was only with the company a little over a month. Anderson bragged about pinning Amazing Red and CM Punk before saying tonight he will make a bigger statement by beating Low Ki. Anderson just hopes he doesn’t get in trouble for a slapping around a minor.
• Match 3; Low Ki beat Ken Anderson via tap out after Anderson tapped to Low Ki’s Dragon Sleeper - Good match! Anderson matched to control the match for a while but once Low Ki got momentum there was no stopping him and Low Ki took Anderson apart before making him tap to his Dragon Sleeper. Low Ki is focused on one thing and one thing only and that is becoming the TNA champion.
• Backstage; AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett were both separately shown getting ready for tonight’s Main Event.
• Up Next; Contract Signing – TNA championship; © Christopher Daniels V Chris Harris!
• Contract Signing; Dusty Rhodes and Jeremy Borash were already in the ring standing behind the podium where the contract signing would take place. Borash introduced the challenger; Chris Harris first followed by the TNA champion, Christopher Daniels both men wearing suits tonight. Dusty Rhodes announced before Daniels and Harris signed the contract that the match would take place at TNA32 on Wednesday 12th February 2003! Harris signed the contracted immediately which Daniels took exception too. ‘Fallen Angel’ called Harris arrogant for signing the contract so fast and asked Harris what makes him think he can beat God’s Gift to Professional Wrestling. Daniels wondered why Harris thought he was so different to everybody else. Daniels thinks the 15 victories have gone to Chris Harris’ head. Daniels admitted that 15 wins was more than anyone else in TNA and seemed impressed but then Daniels told Harris that Harris’ 15 was nothing compared to Daniels 9. Daniels said its quality over quantity and the biggest win of Harris career is beating the washed up shadow of his former self Curt Hennig while Daniels has beaten the best this company has to offer. Harris just stared at Daniels. Daniels said the most important number though here was 0 because that’s the number of times Christopher Daniels has lost while Chris Harris has lost, Harris never won the Gauntlet for the Gold match he did Christopher Daniels beat the entire roster to become the first ever TNA champion! Harris snatched the microphone from Christopher Daniels’ hand. Harris simply told Daniels that at TNA32 he would beat Daniels and become the new TNA champion because Harris is focused on Daniels and Daniels only while Daniels has the world’s biggest target sitting on his shoulder and Daniels can’t help to worry about Low Ki, Abyss, AJ Styles and the others. Harris finished by telling Daniels that he has been watching him from the second he won the TNA title and now Daniels will have to watch Chris Harris become the new TNA champion at TNA32! Harris left the ring and after a good few seconds a worried and hesitant Christopher Daniels signed the contract to make his match with Chris Harris at TNA32 official.
• Earlier Today; Alan Funk told Chase Stevens he had great news for him tonight they would be in a handicap match which would give Chase the opportunity he needs to get his first ever victory. Stevens asked who their opponent was and Funk revealed that it was Abyss! Stevens didn’t look so confident. Funk told Stevens that they can’t afford to lose tonight because they will look like a laughing stock ahead of the TNA tag team title tournament. After Funk had walked off Stevens said under his breath that they were already a laughing stock…
• Match 4; Handicap Match – Abyss beat 1 and 0 (Alan Funk & Chase Stevens) via pin fall – Jim Mitchell following the match again vowed that his monster Abyss was coming for the TNA championship!
• Backstage Promo; CM Punk said 2002 had its highs and its lows and unfortunately it ended on the lowest note of them all when Punk was pinned by Ken Anderson. If CM Punk wants to go down in history as not only a great but the greatest of all time he has to beat the likes of Ken Anderson. CM Punk promised that there would be no more set backs in 2003 and 2003 will be the year everyone talks about how CM Punk started on his journey to being the greatest of all time.
• TNA News; Next Week – Non-Title match; TNA champion, Christopher Daniels V Curt Hennig; CM Punk V Ken Anderson; Low Ki will be in action plus a Battle Royal involving every team in the TNA tag team title tournament.
• Video Package; Looking at the rivalry between AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett which started at TNA01 when AJ Styles was given the opportunity of headlining the first TNA Pay per View over former World Champion, Jeff Jarrett…
• Match 5; MAIN EVENT – AJ Styles beat Jeff Jarrett via pin fall – Great, heated back and forth match with both men giving it there all. AJ during the match took all of Jarrett’s best shots including kicking out of the Stroke and making the ropes when trapped in the figure four. AJ finally got the win after planting Jarrett in the middle of the ring with his Styles Clash! Without question the biggest win of AJ Styles career but it’s also bigger than that because this victory proves that TNA was right to take a chance on the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Harris, Abyss, Low Ki etc. TNA27 went off the air with the fans of their feet and AJ Styles celebrating his victory.

• In Ring; Ring Announcer, David Penzer introduced to a surprise to everyone… Animal & Hawk the Road Warriors! Arguably the greatest tag team off all time came out to a massive ovation from the fans in attendance Animal & Hawk have been tag team champions all over the world. Road Warriors dressed in leather made their way into the ring and requested a microphone. Animal spoke first.

Animal continued by saying that it’s a great honour to become a tag team champion and its not as easy as everybody thinks you can’t just throw a team together, 2 great single wrestlers don’t necessarily make a great tag team there has to be a connection some chemistry, tell them Hawk… Hawk said TNA is trying to give a home to tag team wrestling in the new millennium and Hawk wants to see the Division be treated with respect because for Hawk his career highlight was becoming a tag team champion and there isn’t a better feeling than sharing that moment with family… OH WHAT A RUSH!!
• Match 1; Battle Royal - Elix Skipper won a 18 man Battle Royal lastly eliminating Amazing Red – Elix Skipper may have scored the victory for Alpha Male Enterprise but Monty Brown looked like a monster in the match eliminating 4 men in quick succession including Ron Killings and Jerry Lynn before being eliminated by Amazing Red. Alpha Male Enterprise on recent performances have to be among the favourites to become the first ever TNA tag team champions.
Order of Elimination (Eliminated By)… Chase Stevens (BG James) – Mamaluke (Mark Briscoe) – Alan Funk (Ron Killings) – Christian York (Kid Kash) – Kid Kash (Joey Matthews) – Joey Matthews (YANG) – Romeo (Ron Killings) – BG James (Diamonds in the Rough) – Mark Briscoe (Monty Brown) – YANG (Jerry Lynn) – Ron Killings (Monty Brown) – Jerry Lynn (Monty Brown) – Jay Briscoe (Monty Brown) – Monty Brown (Amazing Red) – Simon Diamond (Amazing Red) – Johnny Swinger (Amazing Red) – Amazing Red (Elix Skipper)
• Backstage Promo; Curt Hennig heard Christopher Daniels’ comments last week and Hennig isn’t going to get too worked up about them Hennig is just going to go tonight and shock the world and beat the TNA champion in the middle of the ring.
• Video Package; Since Low Ki has returned from his injury Low Ki has looked better than ever. Low Ki is undefeated in his 4 matches since his return and focused solely on becoming the TNA champion.
• Match 2; Low Ki beat Steve Corino via pin fall following his Ki Krusher – Low Ki took Steve Corino apart with kicks before really hurting Corino following a running drop kick into the corner and a stomp from the top rope. Steve Corino had to be helped from the ring following the match. Low Ki is seemingly unstoppable at the minute and he is on a mission to become the TNA champion.
• Backstage Promo; TNA champion, Christopher Daniels told Jeremy Borash that he was treating his match with Curt Hennig tonight as a an exhibition as a tune up match for bigger matches down the road, real challenges but Daniels wants Hennig after the match to go and find his new friend Chris Harris and tell him what’s in like sharing the ring with God’s Gift to Professional wrestling the TNA champion, Christopher Daniels. Borash asked Daniels if there was any truth that in what Harris said last week that Christopher Daniels is starting to get worried about the size of the target on his chest that comes with being the TNA champion. Daniels didn’t answer at first because Daniels was watching Steve Corino being helped into the paramedic’s room by TNA officials after his beating from Low Ki. Daniels with no confidence behind it just said no.
• Match 3; Jimmy Rave beat Shark Boy via pin fall after a roll up but Rave had his legs all over the ropes – following the match following up last weeks rumours Jeremy Borash asked Jimmy Rave at ringside if it was true that Rave’s Mom rang up TNA management over the holidays to save Rave’s job. Rave got embarrassed and threw a temper tantrum while screaming at Borash that it was lies.
• In Ring; Alan Funk with Chase Stevens behind him stormed down the aisle and got into the ring demanding a microphone. 1 and 0 were not scheduled to be out here now. Funk looked pumped up while Stevens seemed more hesitant about what was going to happen. Funk said his partner Chase Stevens needs to finally break his duck and get his first win so why not tonight, and why not against the greatest tag team off all time! Alan Funk challenged the Road Warriors for a match right now!
• Match 4; Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) beat 1 and 0 via pin fall – The match lasted under a minute and Animal and Hawk in their street clothes took 1 and 0 apart before pinning Funk following their Doomsday Device.
• Highlights; Last week TNA27 saw AJ Styles kick 2003 off with a bang after he beat Jeff Jarrett in the middle of the ring with his Styles Clash.
• In Ring; Jeremy Borash interviewed AJ Styles. Fans loved AJ Styles. Borash congratulated AJ on his victory over Jeff Jarrett last week before asking AJ what was next. AJ thanked Borash and then the fans for their support. AJ never doubted himself and last week AJ Styles proved that he is among the top wrestlers here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. AJ said its simple what he wants next is the same thing every man in the back should want and that is to become a TNA champion. AJ will wait in line but come, TNA32 whether it is Christopher Daniels or Chris Harris; AJ Styles wants a shot at the TNA championship! Jim Mitchell’s voice interrupted Mitchell leading his monster Abyss down the aisle. Jim Mitchell can’t believe the size of AJ Styles’ ego. Mitchell and Abyss now at ringside said while AJ may believe he is in line for a shot at the TNA championship the reality is no one gets a shot at the TNA championship until his monster Abyss gets his shot which no one can deny. Mitchell said the reason Abyss is not getting spoken about as a contender to the TNA title is because once Abyss gets his hands on the TNA title everyone is scared that he will never give it up. All of a sudden Low Ki’s music hit in the arena and Low Ki walked out on to the stage and as Low Ki’s music continued to play Low Ki stayed on the stage drew a line in the sand with his foot before motioning for the TNA championship! All three men AJ Styles, Abyss and Low Ki have legitimate claims to be next in line for a shot at the TNA championship.
• Backstage; Chris Harris spoke with Jeremy Borash, Borash asked Harris on his thoughts on what just happened between AJ Styles, Abyss and Low Ki.

Following the match Harris was helping Hennig from the ring when Christopher Daniels leaned over the ropes and told Harris that Hennig would be him come TNA32 and Daniels will prove without doubt that he is a level above everybody else.

• Recorded Promo; Somewhere in a dark area of the building Raven with no emotion on his face said he was excited to be here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. Raven asked James Storm not to take last weeks beating personally because it wasn’t. Raven just wanted to send a message to everyone in TNA that he is as twisted and demented as he has always been. Raven called James Storm his sacrificial lamb and now everyone in TNA is looking over their shoulders and they should be because Raven will hurt anyone who stands in his way of becoming the TNA champion.
• Ringside; Mike Tenay told Don West at ringside that he has known Raven for many years and Raven is arguably the sickest, twisted person he has ever come across and Raven will stop at nothing to get what he wants which is the TNA title.
• Backstage; Moments before their high stakes match CM Punk & Low Ki were shown separately getting ready for their match,
• Match 5; Low Ki beat CM Punk via pin fall following his Ki Krusher – Low Ki and CM Punk had a match for the ages, among one of the better matches in the history of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling going around 18 minutes. Low Ki rocked Punk with his Tidal Wave before finishing him with his Ki Krusher. Following the match both men were slow to their feet. Low Ki was up first and after having his hand raised in victory Low Ki went over and seemingly had some words of respect for the fallen CM Punk. Low Ki tonight again showed that he too has every right to claim to be the next contender to the TNA title and if CM Punk carries on with this level of performance it won’t be too long before CM Punk is also challenging for the TNA title.
• Ringside; Mike Tenay and Don West were singing the praises of both men Low Ki and CM Punk especially Low Ki when the crowd stood to their feet showing their respect to CM Punk who had now gotten back to his feet in the ring. CM Punk didn’t acknowledge the ovation, Punk clearly upset with the loss tonight.
• Backstage Promo; ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris told Jeremy Borash that he doesn’t play games but tonight ahead of the biggest match of his life at TNA32 where he challenges for the TNA title he is going to hit Christopher Daniels where it hurts by ending Daniels undefeated streak proving to Christopher Daniels that at TNA32 he is going to be in the fight of his life to retain his TNA championship.

• Match 6; MAIN EVENT – TNA champion, Christopher Daniels & Abyss beat Chris Harris & Curt Hennig via pin fall after Abyss pinned Hennig following his Black Hole Slam – After Abyss had pinned Hennig he got up and turned to face Christopher Daniels who looked worried but Jim Mitchell got into the ring and told Abyss to leave saying they have sent their message. Chris Harris rolled into the ring to check on Hennig and make sure Daniels didn’t attack so Daniels rolled out of the ring and grabbed his TNA title. Once again ‘Fallen Angel’ proved to be one step ahead of the opposition. Daniels snuck back into the ring behind Harris and once Harris got back to his feet Daniels spun Harris around and attempted to nail Harris with the TNA title only for Harris to duck and then drill Christopher Daniels with a spear. Harris stared down at the fallen TNA champion before picking up the TNA title and having a good long look into the title, the title which could be his come TNA32. TNA30 went off the air with Chris Harris raising the TNA title high above his head.

I don't check out your diary as often as I should. You have a different style than most bookers who tried their hands at early TNA, espeically with the way you book big matches weeks in advance and how it's taken you this long to get some tag team titles going. I'm not saying it's bad, far from it, it's good. It's just taken some getting used to.
That said you've got a goot set of shows here. I can see a great three-way feud between Styles, Abyss and Low-Ki for a title shot emerging. You've got a good set of tag teams for the tournament, and it looks like you're using a World Cup scoring system. I sense two teams will be tied and you'll have a final match to determine the champs. I'm a little surprised you don't have America's Most Wanted together, that was TNA's top tag team in 2003. I guess you really want to do something different. Also I see you're bringing in Raven to feud with James Storm, instead of recreating that hot feud with Jarrett that TNA botched in real life. You've really built Daniles up as a strong champion, it'll be interesting to see who finally topples him.
Good work on this diary here. You've really built TNA into something else.
I'd appreciate some feedback in my diary in return.

I've been looking a lot at your diary and let me tell you man, you're doing good with this, Chris Daniels as TNA Champion, I'm totally okay with me, I wish we would have Chris Daniels as TNA Champion in TNA, You got a lot of superstars like Abyss, CM Punk, Monty Brown and everybody in TNA, I'm surprised CM Punk is there, I think the early years in TNA were very priceless that we had some ex-WWE stars, I mean TNA was the WCW II and it still is, but at least TNA never went to go to war with WWE, but hey I'm a WWE fan, but I think TNA is good, not a lot of good than the stars of today, but TNA was a great year for that in 2002 and 03, so I hope you keep it up dude, you got a lot of potential. I'll keep my eyes on it man,

I'm not saying it's bad, far from it, it's good. It's just taken some getting used to. I realise that in reality I wouldn't have the luxury of waiting 6 months to crown my first tag team champions, however I didn't want to rush into anything either. I have used the first 6 months or so to build the roster and start creating my vision of TNA...That said you've got a goot set of shows here. I can see a great three-way feud between Styles, Abyss and Low-Ki for a title shot emerging. My vision of TNA see's the company being carried by the likes of Christopher Daniels, Low Ki, AJ Styles, CM Punk, Chris Harris, James Storm etc instead of the likes of Jarrett, Raven, Shamrock, Hall etc. Styles v Low Ki has been building since show 1You've got a good set of tag teams for the tournament, and it looks like you're using a World Cup scoring system. I sense two teams will be tied and you'll have a final match to determine the champs. You will have to wait for February's shows to be posted - no spoilers hereI'm a little surprised you don't have America's Most Wanted together, that was TNA's top tag team in 2003. I guess you really want to do something different. I like long term planning, and the futures of both Storm and Harris have already been decided if you were to read back through my shows you will notice that I try to drop little angles that can grow into something much bigger over time before coming back to them. I have big plans for both Storm and Harris.Also I see you're bringing in Raven to feud with James Storm, instead of recreating that hot feud with Jarrett that TNA botched in real life. Raven is apart of James Storm's journey, Jarrett will not be used for a while now, don't want too many former WWE/WCW stars on the show at the same time.You've really built Daniles up as a strong champion, it'll be interesting to see who finally topples him. I've enjoyed writing Christopher Daniels, when I first made him champion it raised a few eyebrows but over the 6 months or so he has been champion he has grown into the spine of my diary. Daniels-Harris for the title in February so it could all come to an end pretty soon.Good work on this diary here. You've really built TNA into something else. Thanks, appreciate the feedbackI'd appreciate some feedback in my diary in return. Have done

I really like the way you have set it out doing one big bulk of shows for the month, even though it's a lot of information, it helps me remember exactly what's going on and the rivalries. The three way rivalry between Punk, Styles and Low Ki is setting up really nicely and can't wait to see where it leads. You have a really talented roster full of superstars, quite full at the moment, Anderson and Punk early days which is nice to see. The tag team titles have finally been introduced and what a way to crown the new champions in a tournament of that nature, I like the points system it's a good twist instead of the old knockout matches. It could take a while for a champion to be crowned though with all of the teams and they need to get a solid amount of points. I like how you are focusing on the young talent like you have already stated instead of the ones that could be seen as slightly older as it gives it more of an energetic feel.
Loving the diary, cannot wait for February because things are looking really interesting!

• Match 1; TNA tag team title tournament – Round Robin: Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) via pin fall after Brown pinned Jay following the Pounce.

• Ringside; Mike Tenay and Don West revealed that over the last couple of weeks TNA superstars and greats of the professional wrestling business have been giving their prediction on who leave TNA32 as the TNA champion, current champion ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels or ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris.
• Predictions; BG James predicts that Christopher Daniels will retain his TNA title while Ron Killings predicts that Chris Harris will become the new TNA champion.
• Backstage Promo; Bad Street Boys and Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn were standing by with Jeremy Borash ahead of their TNA tag team title tournament match. Bad Street Boys showed their respect to Jerry Lynn saying he has supported them throughout their career but now Lynn stands in their way of becoming the first ever TNA tag team champions and they will not allow anyone to stand in their way of becoming the TNA tag team champions.
• Match 2; TNA tag team title tournament – Round Robin: Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn beat Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) via pin fall – Really good match which had the fans on their feet and in the end it what could be described as an upset Lynn and Red scored the victory over the more experienced team Bad Street Boys after Red surprised York with his Code Red. All four men embraced after the match showing great respect for one another.
• TNA tag team title tournament standings; 1 – Alpha Male Enterprise 3 pts, 1 – Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn 3 pts, 3 – Bad Street Boys 0 pts, 3 – Briscoe Brother 0 pts.
• Next Week; Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn V Briscoe Brothers & Bad Street Boys V Alpha Male Enterprise.
• Predictions; CM Punk, Jerry Lynn, Amazing Red predict Christopher Daniels retains his TNA title.
• In Ring Promo; Jeremy Borash interviewed the N0.1 contender to the TNA title Chris Harris in the middle of the ring. Borash asked Harris for his thoughts just seven days before the biggest match of his life. Harris told Borash that last week he never managed to do what he said he was going to do he didn’t manage to end Christopher Daniels undefeated streak and the process Harris win percentage took a hit but at the end of the night Harris was happy because as Harris was standing in the middle of the ring holding the TNA title high above his head Harris knew at that moment that at TNA32 next week he would make history and become the new TNA champion. Harris reminded Borash that while Daniels may have a better win percentage than him the fact is neither man has ever been pinned or made to submit here in TNA and next week it will come down to who wants it more and Harris claims no man wants to be TNA champion more than him and next week Chris Harris will become the new TNA champion and everything Harris has ever worked for will become a reality.
• Predictions; James Storm predicts that Christopher Daniels will retain the TNA title next week. Norman Smiley hopes and prays that Chris Harris makes history next week and becomes the new TNA champion but Smiley believes that Christopher Daniels will find a way next week to retain his TNA title.
• Match 3; BG James V Ken Anderson (No Contest) – Raven came attacked both men flooring Anderson with a clothesline before tossing Anderson recklessly over the top rope. Raven then spiked James with his Even flow DDT. Raven casually sat back in the corner and requested a microphone…
• In Ring Promo; Raven promised that there would more innocent victims to fall until he is given what he desires and that is a shot at the TNA championship. Quote the Raven nevermore!
• Ringside; Tenay and West reacted to Raven attacking BG James and Ken Anderson before demanding his is given a shot at the TNA championship. Raven despite being a former World Champion and a big name in the industry and has done nothing to deserve a shot at the TNA championship and there are many people ahead of him including the two men in tonight’s Main Event, Ron Killings and AJ Styles. Don West said Dusty Rhodes may have to act sooner rather than later if Raven continues to attack innocent victims and reminded everyone that James Storm is still suffering from a concussion because of a sneak attack from Raven.
• Backstage; AJ Styles was shown preparing for tonight’s Main Event while Ron Killings was trying to get word on the condition of his friend BG James.

• Match 4; Non-Title Match – © Christopher Daniels beat Roderick Strong via pin fall following his Last Rites – Strong put up a decent effort but Christopher Daniels was too much for Strong. Another of Daniels strengths is that he seemingly has a number of ways to beat an opponent and Chris Harris will need to watch out for not only Last Rites but also Angels Wings and the Koji Clutch. Christopher Daniels still has a perfect 100% record from 12 matches.
• Interview; Jeremy Borash interviewed TNA champion, Christopher Daniels on the stage following his victory ahead of his TNA title defence next week against Chris Harris. Daniels told Borash that he heard what Chris Harris had to say earlier tonight and Daniels said Harris is fooling himself and Harris is doing exactly what the rest of this industry is doing and that is underestimating and disrespecting God’s Gift to professional wrestling. Daniels has told everyone from day one that he is a step ahead of everyone a level above, the measuring stick, the new standard of what a professional wrestler should be. Daniels told Harris that tonight current TNA wrestlers and greats of this sport have given their opinion on who they believe will leave next week as TNA champion and Daniels told Harris what was telling is that every man Daniels has faced all predicted that Daniels would retain his TNA title because they know what Harris will learn next week that Christopher Daniels everything he says he is. Christopher Daniels said next week is about him and not Chris Harris and that is the Gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ and our TNA champion, Christopher Daniels!
• Prediction; Rowdy Roddy Piper predicts that Christopher Daniels will retain his TNA title next week and prove to the world that he is the real deal.
• Prediction; Curt Hennig has wrestled both Chris Harris and Christopher Daniels and Hennig believes in Chris Harris. Next week Curt Hennig predicts that Chris Harris will become the new TNA champion.
• Next Week; TNA Championship – © Christopher Daniels V Chris Harris!
• Video Package; Introducing new TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling signing… Matt Sydal – Sydal is a high flyer who has a lot of potential, Sydal has made a name for himself nationally and is slowly starting to make a name for himself internationally due to some of the breathtaking moved Sydal can perform like his Shooting Star Press. Debut TBC.
• Backstage Promo; AJ Styles said over the last couple of weeks Abyss and Low Ki have again shown why they believe they should be in line for a shot at the TNA championship and tonight is AJ’s turn. AJ said after beating Jerry Lynn and Jeff Jarrett a win over Ron Killings tonight should leave no one with any doubt that AJ Styles deserves the next shot at the TNA championship and AJ was honest enough to say he hopes Christopher Daniels is still the TNA champion after next week because AJ would love nothing more than to be the man to take the TNA title from Christopher Daniels.
• Ringside; Mike Tenay and Don West compared the TNA records of AJ Styles, Abyss and Low Ki. Low Ki just has the better win percentage over Abyss plus Low Ki and Abyss have never been pinned or made to submit but like AJ Styles said in his last two matches AJ Styles has beaten two former World Champions…
• Match 5; MAIN EVENT – AJ Styles beat Ron Killings via pin fall – Very good competitive match with both men giving their all but in the end it was AJ that came away with the victory after AJ rolled through a sunset flip from Killings and planted Killings with his Styles Clash. Following the match AJ Styles celebrated his victory and motioned for the TNA title when Low Ki’s music hit in the arena!! Fans were on their feet as Low Ki made his down the aisle before joining AJ Styles in the middle of the ring. TNA fans have been waiting since TNA01 for AJ and Low Ki to wrestle each other again. AJ and Low Ki stood face to face in the middle of the ring as Mike Tenay wondered who will be named as the next challenger to the TNA championship, will it be AJ Styles, Low Ki or Abyss. TNA31 then went off the air with a graphic hyping next week’s Main Event where TNA champion, Christopher Daniels defends his TNA title against Chris Harris!

Tears flowed as Hennig was remembered with a ten bell salute. Following the final bell the fans in attendance showed their respect to Curt Hennig by standing as one and chanting “Thank You, Curt”.
• TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…
• Ringside; Mike Tenay and Don West welcomed everyone to TNA32. Tenay shared the unfortunate news that Curt Hennig passed away earlier this week and they send their love to the Hennig family. Tenay said that Curt’s death has hit a lot of people within TNA and tonight’s show is dedicated to the memory of Curt Hennig. Tenay introduced Jeremy Borash who was standing by backstage with an update on tonight’s Main Event…
• TNA News; Jeremy Borash revealed that with the passing of Curt Hennig TNA management has spoken with Chris Harris who over the last couple of months has become close with Curt Hennig and TNA management offered to postpone tonight’s TNA championship match even TNA champion, Christopher Daniels agreed to this but Chris Harris wants his TNA title shot tonight because he believes Curt Hennig would want the show to go on. However tonight they will respect Chris Harris’ privacy and they will not speak with Chris Harris ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Borash confirmed again that tonight’s Main Event for the TNA championship between TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and challenger, Chris Harris is still going ahead as scheduled.
• Tonight every wrestler competing will wear a black arm band with the initials CH in another sign of respect to Curt Hennig.
• Match 1; BG James & Ron Killings beat Smooth Stallions via pin fall – BG James & Ron Killings putting the disappointment of not making the Robin Round stage of the TNA tag team title tournament behind them with an impressive showing tonight against Mamaluke & Romeo.
• Tonight; Jeremy Borash will interview CM Punk in the middle of the ring – Punk has some things he would like to get off his chest tonight.
• Backstage Promo; Roderick Strong shared a bit of background information on himself, Strong is only 19 years old was born in Wisconsin but his family had to move to Florida because Strong got himself into trouble. Strong used to play American Football but Strong had to give that up because he used too get in too much trouble. Strong majored in Business but again Strong got into trouble and gave that up. Roderick Strong said in TNA it pays to get into trouble and that’s why he is the first graduate of the TNA Wrestling Academy. Strong warned the TNA roster that he hits hard and he’s coming for a fight.
• Match 2; Roderick Strong beat Chase Stevens via pin fall following a Gut Buster – Alan Funk accidentally tripped his partner Stevens leading to Strong capitalising with his Gut Buster.
• Main Event Stats; TNA champion, Christopher Daniels has a 100% win percentage from 12 matches. Chris Harris has an 88% win percentage from 17 matches winning 15 however Harris has never been pinned or made to submit.
• In Ring Promo; Jeremy Borash standing in the middle of the ring introduced CM Punk. Punk the ‘Second City Saint’ came out to a good ovation from the fans in attendance. Punk not dressed to wrestle joined Borash in the middle of the ring. Fans were on their feet chanting for Punk when Punk told them he appreciated the support but he has something to say, something which may come across unpopular but its how CM Punk feels. Punk said a couple of months ago he came up short in a great match against the greatest wrestler in the business today the TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and after the match the fans rose as one and gave Punk’s efforts a standing ovation. 2 weeks ago Low Ki beat Punk in the middle of the ring but again after the match the fans backed Punk with a standing ovation. The fans are supporting a loser, Punk claimed and Punk would rather win to silence that lose to a standing ovation because this sport is all about winning. CM Punk from day one has claimed that he will go down in history as the greatest off all time but that can only happen if Punk wins and at the minute Punk is not winning and he can’t put his finger on why but maybe the cold hard truth is CM Punk is just not good enough to hang with the likes of Christopher Daniels or Low Ki! Fans booed that statement. Punk doesn’t agree with that statement either because CM Punk knows it is his destiny to go on and become the greatest off all time… Before Punk could continue the lights in the arena went out, when they came back on it was still Punk and Borash in the ring. Punk told Borash to leave as Punk stood cautiously in the middle of the ring. Lights went out again! When they came back on Raven was behind CM Punk with a kendo stick in hand. Raven struck Punk on the back of the leg and when Punk turned Raven dropped Punk with a shot to the head. Raven didn’t stop there Raven unloaded on Punk with a number of shots with the kendo stick. Raven attacking another innocent victim. A large number of TNA officials and agents ran out and got the stick of Raven as paramedics seen to CM Punk. Raven stood motionless in the middle of the ring. Dusty Rhodes was at ringside and the on screen representative of TNA management demanded a microphone. Rhodes and Raven were opposite each other in the aisle now. Rhodes told Raven that he can not expect to be handed anything here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling it doesn’t work like that and as CM Punk said earlier it’s all about winning and Raven hasn’t done any of that since signing with TNA but next week Dusty will give Raven a chance to win because next week’s Main Event will see Raven face the man who Raven sneak attacked a few weeks back and has now been cleared by TNA doctors to return to the ring next week, Nashville’s favourite son… James Storm! Fans popped as Raven just stared at Dusty Rhodes before walking off.
• Video Package; Introducing new TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling… Paul London. London (22) from Austin, Texas. London who is half Mexican has made a quite a name for himself on the independent scene and now London who is a bit of a character is coming to TNA very soon!

• Match 3; TNA tag team title tournament – Round Robin: Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) via pin fall – Before the match even started as Bad Street Boys made their way out to the ring they were jumped by RATS (Kid Kash & YANG). The two teams brawled in the aisle as security was out to separate them before demanding Kash and YANG leave. While too much damage may not have been done the last thing Bad Street Boys would have needed is the distraction ahead of the biggest match of their lives. Monty Brown ended up pining York following his Pounce! Bad Street Boys can not become the TNA tag team champions now while Alpha Male Enterprise will become the first ever TNA tag team champions next week if they beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn!
• Backstage; Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn were shown taking a deep breath after watching Alpha Male Enterprises victory knowing that they are up next and they can not afford to lose to the Briscoe Brothers up next.
• Backstage Promo; Briscoe Brothers were with Jeremy Borash. Mark Briscoe said he hopes no one is writing off the Briscoe Brothers just yet because while they may be down they ain’t out yet, they’ve been down before but they always get back up. Jay admitted that they ain’t the smartest of dudes and math isn’t their strong point but with a win tonight and next week plus a little bit of luck then the Briscoe Brothers will have the opportunity to fight for the TNA tag team titles and they are going to do their part tonight by manning up.

• Next Week; If Alpha Male Enterprise beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn they will make history and become the first ever TNA tag team champions!
However if Lynn & Red win then they and Alpha Male Enterprise and possibly Briscoe Brothers if they beat Bad Street Boys could have 6pts. If at the end of the tournament any teams have the same number of points they will meet at a date to be determined to crown the first ever TNA tag team champions.
• Ken Anderson’s Opinion; Ken Anderson reminded everyone of what happened last week to him he was screwed out of his victory over BG James by… TNA management! Anderson said Raven jumped him when he had complete control of the match but instead of awarding the match to Anderson the match was declared a No Contest. Anderson asked what exactly does Dusty Rhodes do around here. Anderson said it is ironic that ‘The Dream’ is making his life a nightmare but it wouldn’t stop the greatest thing to ever happen to TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, nothing will… nothing!!!.... NOTHING!!
• Match 5; Ken Anderson beat Shark Boy via pin fall – Ken Anderson showing signs that not all is at it seems. The loud mouth, opinionated arrogant wrestler seems to have a bit of a dark side brewing down in side of him.

• TNA News; Dusty Rhodes announced that next week he would name the next contender for the TNA championship!
• Backstage Promo; Jeremy Borash interviewed TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels moments before he defends his TNA title against No.1 contender, ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris. Daniels said being the TNA champion means he is the best wrestler in the world today however there are still people out there who underestimate, over look and disrespect the ‘Fallen Angel’. Tonight people believe it is Chris Harris’ night tonight Chris Harris becomes the new TNA champion! Daniels vowed that was not going to happen because tonight is not about Chris Harris it is not about anyone else, tonight will be remembered as the night Christopher Daniels finally proved to all of his critics that he is everything he says he is God’s gift to Professional Wrestling, the best wrestler in the world today and that is the Gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels your TNA champion!
• Match 6; MAIN EVENT – TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Chris Harris – Excellent match both men gave everything for the right to leave here tonight as the TNA champion. This match will be talked about for years to come and is among the greatest matches in TNA’s short history. With under a minute left in the match and the crowd behind him Chris Harris managed to lock Christopher Daniels in his Texas Cloverleaf, Daniels was in agony as the fans were chanted for Daniels to tap out and with seconds to go, Christopher Daniels grabbed the bottom rope! Harris had to break the hold as the 30 minute time limit expired… Result; TNA champion, Christopher Daniels wrestled Chris Harris to a 30 minute time limit draw
Chris Harris was inconsolable dropping to his knees pretty much as soon as Christopher Daniels grabbed the bottom rope knowing the match was pretty much over. Harris from his knees and with tears coming down his face out of hope more than anything asked the referee for more time but Harris as everyone else knew the match was over but it didn’t stop the 5 more minute chants from the crowd. Christopher Daniels rolled out of the ring and just lay at ringside. Daniels was in the fight of his life tonight. Christopher Daniels for the first time tonight failed to win his match. Mike Tenay and Don West praised the efforts of both men tonight and said there had to be a rematch. TNA32 went off the air with Christopher Daniels being handed his TNA title outside of the ring as Chris Harris remained in the ring on his knees with his face in his hands.
Wednesday 19.02.2003 TNA33
TNA Champion; Christopher Daniels (21.08.02 – Gauntlet for the Gold match)
• Backstage; Dusty Rhodes on screen representative of TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling management welcomed everyone to TNA33. Rhodes wanted to get right down to business and reminded everyone that last week in the Main Event for the TNA championship, © Christopher Daniels and Chris Harris fought to a 30 minute time limit draw. Rhodes said the fans and TNA deserve to see a winner and before he announces the next challenger to the TNA title which was scheduled tonight we need to see who the TNA champion is going to be so next week in rematch from last week for the TNA championship, Christopher Daniels will defend his TNA title in a rematch against Chris Harris and later on tonight both men will sign the contract to make it official in the middle of the ring.
• TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling open…
• Open; Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA33 a night where history could possibly be made because tonight if Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn TNA would crown its first ever TNA tag team champions! Also tonight history would be made when Raven makes his in ring debut when he takes on the returning ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm. Borash then introduced Mike Tenay and Don West at ringside…
• Ringside; Mike Tenay & Don West at ringside said it is a possibility that tonight Alpha Male Enterprise could make history and become the first TNA tag team champions but that it just one of the scenarios that is possible heading into the last round of matches in the TNA tag team title tournament. Up first tonight Briscoe Brothers will take on Bad Street Boys and with a victory the Jay & Mark Briscoe are still with a chance of fighting for the TNA tag team titles.
• Video Package; Looking at the Briscoe Brothers, both still teenagers who have had to grow up fast in life and tonight despite being the underdogs are possibly one match away from fighting for the TNA tag team titles and all the rewards that come with being champion.
• TNA tag team title tournament standings; 1st- Alpha Male Enterprise (6pts) 2nd- Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn (3pts) 2nd- Briscoe Brothers (3pts) 4th- Bad Street Boys (0pts)…
• Match 1; TNA tag team title tournament – Round Robin: Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) beat Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) via pin fall – Good match which ended in disappointment for the Briscoe Brothers after York pinned Jay following a double team back drop/neck breaker from Matthews & York. There will be plenty more opportunities for the Briscoe Brothers but tonight wasn’t there night and Tenay questioned whether it was the pressure of the match that got to the Briscoe Brothers because it was without question the biggest match of their life so far.
• Backstage; Jeremy Borash was about to interview Roderick Strong when James Storm cut in. Storm told Strong he was taking his time but before Strong left Storm gave the rookie some advice telling Strong that if he works on his killer instinct then Strong has all the tools to go far in this business. Strong thanked Storm before he left and James Storm turned his attention to Raven. Storm doesn’t care if Raven is a former multi time champion; Storm doesn’t care if Raven is a ‘name’ in this business. Raven can walk around and act like he hasn’t got a care in the world, the likes of Borash, Mike Tenay can call Raven sadistic all they want the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ doesn’t care because Raven by attacking him from behind and putting him in a hospital bed made the biggest mistake of his messed up life. Tonight James Storm is going to kick Raven’s ass.
• Stats; Raven tonight makes his TNA in ring debut while James Storm has wrestled 20 matches with 16 victories with a win percentage of 80% the 5th highest in the company. Storm has won 4 of his 5 previous matches.
• Match 2; Roderick Strong beat Alan Funk via pin fall following his Gut Buster
• Video Package; Looking at the impact Raven has made since coming into TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling. Raven has attacked a number of innocent men including James Storm, BG James, Ken Anderson and CM Punk among others, the video ended with Raven vowing their would be more innocent victims until he is given what is owed to him and that is the TNA championship…
• Match 3; James Storm V Raven (No Contest) – Referee had a hard time controlling Storm and Raven from the opening bell and could have called the match off on a couple of occasions. With the official hurt Raven took advantage and dropped Storm with a kick in between the legs but Raven was slow to capitalise. CM Punk ran out with a kendo stick in hand as Raven and Storm were getting back to their feet. Punk attempted to hit Raven with the stick for revenge after last weeks attack but Raven moved out of the way and Punk dropped Storm with a shot to the head which then allowed Raven to spike with his Even flow DDT. Referee came back round as Raven stood tall in the ring and after seeing CM Punk and the kendo stick the referee finally had to call the match off. Raven just dropped and rolled out of the ring again showing no emotion.
• Ringside; Mike Tenay & Don West spoke about Raven believing he is owed the TNA championship as James Storm and CM Punk were seen to in the ring. As Storm and Punk were helped to their feet they kept looking over at the other and neither man looked too impressed. Tenay picked up on the situation and said it may have been an accident CM Punk hitting James Storm here tonight but it doesn’t look like its going to go down to well with James Storm who has just recovered from a concussion at the hands of Raven.
• Video Package; Repeat of the Matt Sydal video package that aired 2 weeks go, and then it went straight into last weeks video package introducing Paul London before a new video aired looking at both men merged together before the video ended saying… Zero Gravity coming soon!
• Backstage; Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) was standing by with Jeremy Borash surrounded by Alpha Male Security. Monty Brown spoke saying he knows that when he came into TNA everyone looked down their nose at him because Brown wasn’t a wrestler because Brown was already a superstar from his football days and Brown is not stupid he knows that TNA was over the moon when Ron Killings beat him in the Main Event of TNA21. Monty Brown pointed at Elix Skipper and said TNA management wasn’t even going to hire Skipper they only did after Brown got involved but again TNA management must have been delighted to see that Skipper wasn’t fulfilling his potential but now things have changed, they have turned a corner and they have used the fact that everyone is against them to their benefit and since TNA21 they have not looked back they have dominated everyone and they have proven that they are the kings of the jungle and tonight they are only going to get stronger because tonight they make history and they become the first ever TNA tag team champions!
• Match 4; Diamonds in the Rough (Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond) beat Delirious & Shark Boy via pin fall following their Problem Solver – Delirious making his TNA debut tonight, Delirious like Shark Boy also wearing a mask a lizard mask to the ring seemed even more eccentric than Shark Boy.
• Highlights; TNA32- Main Event; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Chris Harris – 30 minute time limit draw…
• Contract Signing; Dusty Rhodes was standing in the middle of the ring which was set up for tonight’s TNA championship contract signing. At ringside standing away from one another were AJ Styles, Abyss with Jim Mitchell and Low Ki. Rhodes pointed out they were out here tonight because the 3 of them were all under consideration to be the next challenger to the TNA championship. Dusty Rhodes introduced first the TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. Daniels came out wearing shirt, trousers, leather jacket while holding his TNA title, once Daniels was in the ring Rhodes introduced the No.1 contender to the TNA championship ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris. Harris wearing a suit and looking all business made his way out joining Daniels and Rhodes in the ring. Dusty Rhodes spoke telling Daniels and Harris that last week they both it put it all on the line and they gave the world the greatest TNA championship match off all time and arguably the greatest match in TNA history, cameras caught AJ Styles and Low Ki look at one another at that announcement. Rhodes continued by going 30 minutes the only winner last week was the fans, Rhodes continued that the champion retains via a draw so TNA management believe that there is a need of an immediate rematch because also last week Chris Harris became the first man that Christopher Daniels failed to beat so there is no question that Chris Harris deserves this second opportunity. Rhodes asked them to sign the contract, challenger first then they are free to make any comments they wish. Chris Harris signed the contract and while signing the contract Harris simply said next week he would become the new TNA champion. Chris Harris then left the ring and started making his way back up the aisle. Daniels signed the contract making next weeks rematch official before asking Harris as Harris got to the stage what Harris would do if he failed this time, would he cry again? Harris stopped and turned to face Daniels from the stage. Christopher Daniels claimed that the only reason Chris Harris got a second chance is because TNA management felt sorry for him. Daniels told Harris that last week he made the biggest mistake of his life last week he failed to get the job done the first time around because next week there is no way in the world Chris Harris beats him. Chris Harris was fuming you could see it in his face and he had his fists clenched but Harris resisted and turned and made his way backstage. Daniels turned to Dusty Rhodes and held up his TNA title and told Dusty that Dusty better get used to this sight because Christopher Daniels will be the TNA champion for a long, long time and not Chris Harris, not Abyss, not AJ Styles and not Low Ki is going to change that! AJ Styles and Low Ki almost at the same time stepped up on to the ring apron so Daniels instantly dropped and rolled out of the ring past Abyss and Jim Mitchell who was smirking at Daniels which freaked the TNA champion out. Christopher Daniels backed up the ramp knowing that he is the most wanted man in all of professional wrestling and next week it may all come to an end when he defends his TNA title against Chris Harris.
• Next Week; TNA34 – Main Event; TNA Championship © Christopher Daniels V Chris Harris!
• Match 5; Ken Anderson beat BG James via a disqualification – Ron Killings was in BG’s corner. Anderson dug his fingers into BG James’ eyes behind the ref’s back so Killings got on the apron to complain only for Anderson to drop Killings which caused Ron Killings to lose his cool and get back into the ring and jump Ken Anderson. Killings managed to get in a few shots before Anderson escaped the ring, the referee called for the bell and declared Ken Anderson the winner via dq as Ken Anderson stood in the aisle way laughing his head off in an over the top manner and Ron Killings argued with the ref and checked on BG James.
• Backstage; Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn were standing by backstage with Jeremy Borash ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Lynn told Borash that in a matter of minutes Alpha Male Enterprise could make history and become the first TNA tag team champions and that would mean he and Red have failed and tonight that is not going to happen, Lynn and Red didn’t agree to team up to fail they have heard everyone give their opinion on how two great wrestlers doesn’t always make a great tag team but in this case they are wrong because not only are they great they have also go heart and tonight they will beat Alpha Male Enterprise and they will earn the right to fight for the TNA tag team championship.
• TNA News; If Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn wins tonight then in 2 weeks at TNA35 it will be Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) for the TNA tag team championship.
• Match 6; MAIN EVENT – TNA tag team tournament; Round Robin: Amazing Red& Jerry Lynn V Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) – Good match and the fans were right behind Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn. Alpha Male Enterprise through using Monty’s strength dominated the match especially Red for the majority. Jerry Lynn was taken out towards the end of the match being pushed from the top rope Elix Skipper but Red then managed to knock Skipper from the ring apron only to turn into a gigantic body block from Monty Brown, Red spun in the air and landed hard across the other side of the ring from Brown’s Pounce! New TNA tag team champions if Brown pinned Red but Brown wanted to put the icing on the cake with his Alpha Bomb only for Red to counter the Alpha Male on rotation into his Code Red which was enough to hurt and stun Brown long enough to keep him down for the 3 count… Result; Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn beat Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) via pin fall
Amazing Red rolled straight out of the ring to where Jerry Lynn was waiting for him. Lynn pulled his hurt partner Red to his feet giving Red a huge hug knowing now they have the chance in 2 weeks to fight for the TNA tag team titles. Fans were on their feet as the referee raised Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn’s arms in victory. Mike Tenay noted that Jerry Lynn mentioned he and Red have heart and tonight they had to show it to overcome the impressive Alpha Male Enterprise.

Storm spoke, telling Daivari that he knows last week CM Punk wanted to get his hands on Raven and take Raven’s head off, Storm does too. However if Storm cracked a man in the head who had just gotten over a concussion Storm would be big enough to look that man in the eye and apologise, something CM Punk hasn’t done yet. Storm stepped to look Punk in the eye when making his last comment. CM Punk said if Storm wants an apology if it will make him feel better than he can have one and CM Punk is sorry he nearly knocked Storm’s ass out. Clear tension between Storm & Punk. Storm then lightly and mockingly slapped Punk’s face telling him that wasn’t so hard now was it before walking off. You could see the anger building in CM Punk, who over the last few weeks has been growing more and more frustrated. Daivari asked Punk if he had any thoughts on his match with Raven next week. CM Punk just stared at Daivari before walking off.

Low Ki stepped across the line instantly only for Daniels to bail and roll out of the ring. TNA34 went off the air with Christopher Daniels holding his TNA title high above his head at ringside while Low Ki paced around the ring as Mike Tenay hyped that next week the next contender to the TNA title will be named.
