TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Wednesday 13.08.2003 TNA58
TNA Champion; AJ Styles (18.06.03 – beat Low Ki) TNA Tag Team Champions; Alpha Male Enterprise (16.04.03 – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn) • TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
• Open| Ringside Mike Tenay alongside, Don Callis & Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone to TNA58 and they didn’t waste anytime in hyping tonight’s Main Event where ‘The Icon’ Sting returns to the ring to face ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris.
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| Sting V Chris Harris!
• Earlier Today| Chris Harris the head trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy and former top contender to the TNA title was shown arriving at the arena. Even though Harris has twice challenged for the TNA championship his match tonight against Sting is the biggest match of Chris Harris career.
• Time Limit| Reminder that all TNA title matches and Main Events have a 30 minute time limit while all other matches have a 20 minute time limit unless otherwise stated
• Graphic| 03.09.03| TNA61| MAIN EVENT| TNA tag team championship © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews)!
• Recorded Interview| TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) – Monty Brown said at TNA61, Alpha Male Enterprise were going to go easy on Bad Street Boys they were just going to beat them in the middle of the ring but now after last week after Matthews & York showed them up and took a cheap shot at them, it’s all changed and at TNA61 they are going to make an example out of Bad Street Boys and prove once again without question that Alpha Male Enterprise are not only the greatest tag team in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling but the most dominant brand in the world! Elix Skipper said tonight Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown would be representing their name and they will not let Brown & Skipper down so Skipper even doubts Bad Street Boys will even be men enough to make it to TNA61…
• Match 1| Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) beat Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown)| Banks & Brown were out by themselves tonight. After Monty Brown gave Antonio & D’Lo a public verbal bashing last week, they were determined not to let Brown & Skipper down tonight. However Bad Street Boys were looking to send a message of their own that they have earned this TNA title shot and they will not back down from a challenge and in the end BSB picked up the victory after taking care of D’Lo and pinning Banks following their Hangman DDT. Christian York & Joey Matthews celebrated their victory following the bell. Matthews & York have worked their way from the bottom and rose to every challenge put in front of them but TNA61 is their biggest challenge to date when they challenge Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) for the TNA tag team championship.
• Ringside| Borash, Callis & Tenay congratulated Bad Street Boys on their victory before hyping the rest of tonight’s card which include Doug Williams, Amazing Red being in action plus Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) will face The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) but that is not all because also Jim Mitchell has a message for James Storm and CM Punk has invited Raven to join him in the middle of the ring tonight ahead of their Last Man Standing match next week for a farewell drink…
• Backstage| Cameras went backstage to where TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown had confronted fellow Alpha Male Enterprise members Antonio Banks & D’ Lo Brown. Banks was not happy, telling both of them that AME took a chance on both of them and gave them an opportunity to live like superstars so now they need to start repaying that faith or there will be consequences.
• Highlights| TNA57| Jerry Lynn beat Bobby Roode via pin fall following his Cradle Pile driver – Roode didn’t move after the match as a result of the Pile driver. Roode left ringside on a stretcher before leaving the arena in an ambulance with fears that Roode had suffered a broken neck. Jerry Lynn followed Roode to the ambulance and looked distraught…
• Ringside| Mike Tenay revealed that after last weeks Pay per View, Bobby Roode was treated in a near by hospital and the doctors were fearful that Roode had suffered a serious neck injury. Tenay would like to give a more detailed updated on Bobby Roode but Roode who has not broken silence this week, through his management has contacted TNA management to inform them that Roode’s own personal doctors would be checking on him and they would inform TNA management of Bobby Roode’s condition in due time…
• Backstage Interview| Shawn Daivari was with Amazing Red, Jerry Lynn’s tag team partner ahead of Red’s match up next. Daivari asked Red how Jerry Lynn has been this week. Red said Lynn is not on top form and is sad that Bobby Roode got hurt but at the same time, Lynn understands that injuries happen and it’s the nature of the business but Jerry Lynn will move on, times a great healer.
• Match 2| Amazing Red beat Jimmy Rave w. ODB| Fast paced short match between Amazing Red & Jimmy Rave. Red in his last match lost to Bobby Roode but before that took TNA champion, AJ Styles to the limit and won his 3 previous matches before that and tonight’s result was never really in doubt and Red scored the victory following his Code Red.
• Stats| ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris has a 79% win rate from 24 matches and since returning from injury Harris has never looked better not only winning but dominating his last four matches.
• Interview| Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring welcomed his guest – Roderick Strong. Mike Tenay noted that we hadn’t seen Strong since he came up short against TNA champion, AJ Styles at TNA54. Don Callis said that Strong’s little run of impressive performances has gone to his head and revealed that Strong actually demanded this time tonight. Roderick Strong stepped out on to the stage looking rather well dressed in a dark trousers, shirt and jumper with shades. Strong has only been seen in his ring gear previously so the look came as bit of a surprise. Strong joined Daivari in the ring and the two men shook hands. Daivari passed Strong the microphone…
Strong told the fans there was a saying which goes, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck then it probably is a duck. Strong going forward is going to use that mentality. Strong said if he dresses like greatness, talks like greatness, wrestles and associates himself with greatness than people will see that he is greatness. Strong revealed that his best friend taught him that and right now Strong would like to introduce everyone to his best friend… Austin Aries! Aries came out wearing a blazer and jeans also with shades. Aries & Strong embraced before Aries took the microphone. Aries said when people think or talk about Roderick Strong they think TNA Wrestling Academy stand out, who hits hard, loves a back breaker and has tons of potential. Aries said people have never heard of him to have an opinion on him but together when Austin Aries and Roderick Strong come together they are greatness!
• Backstage| ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm was shown talking backstage as Mike Tenay reminded viewers that tonight Jim Mitchell has vowed to respond to James Storm knocking him out with a Super kick at TNA55!
• Highlights| Backstage following TNA55 went off the air Traci Brooks distracted Doug Williams allowing Frankie Kazarian to flooring Williams from behind, Kazarian got in a few more shots on the grounded Williams before officials pulled Frankie Kazarian away…
• Match 3| Doug Williams beat Kid Kash via pin fall following his Chaos Theory| TNA55 didn’t turn out to be a great night for Doug Williams despite putting in a great performance against the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels – Williams still lost and then later in the night backstage Frankie Kazarian jumped Williams. Williams was angry tonight and he and Kash had a very hard hitting and therefore entertaining match but in the end Williams responded to his first loss with a victory tonight after rocking Kash with a number of knees to the head while having Kash trapped in a cravate, Williams finished Kash with his Chaos Theory – rolling German supflex straight into a bridge. No celebrating afterwards for Doug Williams who looked ruthless tonight and showed he has the heart of a champion to respond the way he did tonight. Williams looked into the camera as he was making his way back up the aisle and told Frankie Kazarian that he was going to knee his head in next.
• Video Package| Chris Harris has been putting in extra training since returning from injury. ‘Wildcat’ has been working until late in the night down at the TNA Wrestling Academy alongside Norman Smiley. Harris has mentioned time and time again that he would be honoured to represent TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling as its TNA champion and Harris hopes the extra training will help him accomplish his goal.
• Graphic| Next Week| TNA59| MAIN EVENT| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk!
• Highlights| TNA56| MAIN EVENT| Raven V CM Punk went to a No Contest – Referee lost all control of the match and war broke out between Raven and Punk which saw the two men fight around ringside, into the crowd and use, the ring steps, a steel chair, Singapore cane and a table as weapons the brawl only ended when Raven took himself and Punk of the ring apron with a side Russian leg sweep through the table which left neither man standing!
• Farewell Drink| A table was set up in the middle of the ring with two chairs and two microphones. Security was also surrounding the ring to make sure things never got physical between Raven and CM Punk putting next week’s big and historic Main Event in jeopardy. CM Punk’s music hit first and Punk the ‘Straight Edge Superstar’ the ‘Second City Saint’ made his way out wearing a zipped up jacket and shorts. Punk entered the ring and took a seat then Raven’s music hit in the arena which signalled Raven was on his way. Raven dressed in usual gear slowly made his way out as always looking emotionless. Raven rolled into the ring and the security team were on edge but Raven also took a seat…
Both men were sitting down staring at one another across the table. Fans were on their feet. Raven was expressionless while Punk looked absolutely disgusted by Raven. The longer the two of them stared at one another without saying a word the louder the fans got in anticipation. Punk finally spoke first to tell Raven he despises him, but there was light at the end of the tunnel because after next week CM Punk would never have to see Raven’s face again. Punk told Raven that next week it all ends for him and next week Raven will not only suffer defeat but Punk promises to humiliate Raven. CM Punk asked Raven to take heart in the fact that because of CM Punk, Raven will always be remembered, remembered as the man that the greatest wrestler off all time CM Punk sacrificed on his journey to achieve his life mission of going down in history as the greatest off all time. Raven’s demise will see that Raven can never be forgotten. Raven continued to just stare at CM Punk. Punk unzipped his jacket and pulled out a bottle of vodka and placed it on the table which got Raven’s attention. Punk reminded Raven that Raven accused Punk of being weak minded, Punk said they would see who is strong minded next week because you have to be strong physically and mentally to win a Last Man Standing match. Raven also claims he has beaten his demons. Punk slid the bottle across to Raven and told Raven to prove it, Punk told Raven to take a swig to show how strong minded that he is. Punk screamed at Raven to have one final drink before CM Punk ends Raven next week! Punk stood up hammered the table and shouted at Raven to drink the vodka. Raven stood, picked up the bottle, unscrewed the lid and then took a big mouthful as CM Punk looked on in shock! Raven didn’t swallow the vodka and spat the alcohol in the face of the straight edge CM Punk. Punk covered his face with his hands as Raven quickly flipped the table and spiked CM Punk with his Even flow DDT. Raven rolled straight out of the ring as security were too late entering the ring. CM Punk was left on his back as Raven watched on emotionless from the aisle.
• Ringside| Borash, Callis & Tenay couldn’t believe what they had seen tonight between Raven and CM Punk ahead of their Last Man Standing match next week. Raven has just risked falling of the wagon all to prove to CM Punk that he is strong minded and to send a message that he was ready for their Last Man Standing match next week where you will have to be strong minded like CM Punk said to win the match! CM Punk promises to humiliate Raven next week but Raven has had the last laugh here tonight.
• Highlights| TNA56| Sting confronted Chris Harris and without saying a word challenged ‘Wildcat’ to a match at TNA58 by pointing at Harris with his bat before pointing at the video screen. Harris who seemed taken back at sharing the ring with Sting offered his hand to Sting only for Sting to reject the handshake and fire back up into the rafters…
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| Sting V Chris Harris!
• Match 4| Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) beat The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens)| Really good match pitting two of the top tag teams in the TNA tag team division against one another. Naturals picked a fight with Zero Gravity to a make a name for themselves in TNA. London & Sydal have shown that they too can play games if need be. Both teams put everything on line tonight. Match went about 15 minutes and towards the end there were a number of strong near falls but in the end Sydal pinned Douglas following his Shooting Star press. Zero Gravity celebrated afterwards as it was noted on commentary that after TNA61 which ever team is the TNA tag team champions they will need to keep an eye on Matt Sydal & Paul London.
• Highlights| TNA57| MAIN EVENT| Non-Title Match| TNA champion| AJ Styles beat Shane Douglas via pin fall following his Spiral Tap – Following the match ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels told AJ Styles that he would crush his dreams for a third time at TNA60 and regain his TNA title.
• Graphic| 27.08.03| TNA60| MAIN EVENT| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels!
• Graphic| Next Week| TNA59 – TNA champion, AJ Styles and top contender, Christopher Daniels will be in attendance.
• Recorded Interview| Ron Killings earlier today was doing a recorded interview ahead of his match tonight against Robbie Eckos saying he was going to bring the nasty only for Eckos to actually interrupt Killings’ time. Eckos told Killings that he was not a loser and tonight he would prove that he is money, a player a winner and tonight Eckos would finally show it by beating Ron Killings in the middle of the ring.
• Match 5| Ron Killings beat Robbie Eckos| Ron Killings looks like a new man from this time last month. Killings come off two victories over his mentor BG James was pretty much in complete control of Eckos before pinning Eckos following an Axe kick. Ron Killings celebrated afterwards as Mike Tenay said Ron Killings has all the tools to be a major player in TNA and a possible TNA championship contender. Ron Killings finally living up to his potential.
• Highlights| TNA50| Coming of Age| Christopher Daniels beat Sting via pin fall following his Angels Wings.
• Interview| James Storm made his way out to a great ovation from the fans in attendance. Storm has been asked to come out tonight by Jim Mitchell so Mitchell can respond to Storm after Storm knocked Mitchell the handler of ‘The Monster’ Abyss out cold with a Super kick. Storm entered the ring and awaited the arrival of Abyss and Mitchell but neither came out then after a minute or so both Abyss & Jim Mitchell appeared on the big screen in a dark room with an angry Abyss pacing around in the background while Mitchell spoke…
Jim Mitchell said he hopes James Storm has been man enough to come out to the ring tonight and told Storm it was too late to hide from ‘The Monster’ now after what he did at TNA55. Mitchell asked Storm if Storm would have Super kicked him in the face before Abyss tapped out to Low Ki. Storm was nodding and smiling, Mitchell asked has Abyss lost that fear factor that he had because he’s lost one match. Mitchell asked Storm if he actually seen what Abyss did in retaliation to Low Ki making Abyss feel trapped, Low Ki’s career is over and it’s all thanks to Abyss. Low Ki former TNA champion, wrestler of the year the man who still has the highest win ratio his career is done, dead, buried all because of Abyss!! Storm was looking more serious in the ring now. Mitchell told Storm he made the biggest mistake of his life at TNA55 all because Storm wants to become TNA champion, Mitchell warned Storm it has now cost him because Storm’s punishment is his career! Abyss is not going to sneak attack James Storm because he doesn’t have to, tonight on behalf of Abyss, James Mitchell challenges James Storm to a match at TNA62 and the reason Abyss wants it at TNA62 is because that’s the next available Main Event and Abyss wants to take Storm apart for 30 minutes, enjoy it but Abyss does not want to be restricted by rules so if James Storm is man enough Abyss wants to face James Storm at TNA62 in a No Disqualification Match! Mitchell is confident Storm will accept and Mitchell wants Storm to remember one thing when he’s lying in the hospital bed next to Low Ki – he brought all of this on himself!
Video cut and James Storm grabbed a microphone from ringside and told Jim Mitchell and Abyss that they would see him at TNA62 where Storm would knock both of their asses out cold! Borash, Callis and Tenay reacted to the announcement at ringside before turning our attention towards tonight’s Main Event which would be coming up shortly.
• Highlights| TNA54| ‘The Icon’ Sting said after losing to Christopher Daniels at TNA50 he wanted to test himself against the best TNA has to offer to prove too himself and the world that he’s still got it!
• Backstage Interview| Chris Harris was with Shawn Daivari ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Harris told Daivari that tonight is a dream come true he gets to face one of the greatest of all time but tonight is not about whether Sting still has what it takes or not it is about Chris Harris reaching that next level. Harris said its clear that Sting still has the heart for this but it’s debatable whether Sting still has the chin and tonight Harris is going to capitalise on that and tonight Harris will beat Sting in the middle of the ring. Harris wished Sting all the luck in the world but the reality may just be that Sting hasn’t got what it takes anymore.
• TNA News| Don West with some quick news looking ahead to next week’s show which will be headlined by the Last Man Standing Match between Raven and CM Punk. Two more matches have been signed first after what happened last week we would see Chris Sabin take on newcomer, Michael Shane and the second match was made during tonight’s show, next week we will see an 8 man tag team match pitting Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal and Paul London) arguably the top two contenders against Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, D’Lo Brown, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)! West finished up by reminding everyone that also next week ahead of their TNA title match at TNA60 both TNA champion, AJ Styles and top contender Christopher Daniels will have one final face off!
• Video Package| Chris Hero read out the definition of a hero from a dictionary – “A hero or heroine refers to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice – that is, heroism – for some greater good of all humanity. Chris Hero debuts at TNA60!!
• Backstage Interview| Shawn Daivari moments before tonight’s Main Event spoke with Sting who got a huge reaction when he appeared on screen. Sting told Daivari that there’s a lot riding on tonight’s Main Event both have a lot to lose, losing is a set back for both Sting and Harris but Sting is not thinking about losing tonight, losing is not an option. Sting brought up not shaking Harris’ hand – Sting said if he didn’t respect Harris’ talents he wouldn’t have agreed to face him tonight but he wouldn’t apologise for not shaking his hand before hand maybe afterwards but Sting asked Harris would Harris be able to shake Sting’s hand following the most crushing defeat of his career, guess we are about to find out – It’s Showtime!!
• Ringside| Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about the importance of tonight’s Main Event between Sting and Chris Harris. Arguably the most important match of both men’s careers. Sting the former multi times World champion and one of the biggest names in the business needs to win tonight to show he still has what it takes to be a force in this business. Chris Harris on the other hand is a star on the rise but is yet to win the big one and loss to Sting tonight may question whether Chris Harris can actually win the big one regardless of how much time and effort he puts in. It’s time for our Main Event…
• Match 6| MAIN EVENT| Sting V Chris Harris| Fans were entirely behind Sting. Both men started off cautiously, exchanging headlocks and arms drags in the opening minutes. Harris got the first psychological advantage when he knocked Sting down when both men went for a shoulder block. Sting looked surprised and a little worried afterwards.
Chris Harris early was always looking for the big shot, the knock out blow but Sting managed to avoid Harris’ attempts. Besides the attempt for the big shot every now and again when Harris was in charge of the match he was trying to wear Sting down working over Sting’s back while when Sting was in charge he was always looking for the finish maybe a little rushed.
Turned into a very exciting match, you couldn’t tell which way it was going to go. Sting missed a Stinger Splash late in the match and Harris capitalised by hitting some of his preferred set up moves kick to the shoulder, back supflex and middle rope leg drop before setting Sting up for the Texas Cloverleaf and Harris managed to lock Sting in the cloverleaf in the middle of the ring!! Sting had no where to go but showing he does still have the heart for a fight and with the fans behind him Sting crawled over and grabbed the bottom rope. Harris looking for the finish set Sting up for a Spear but at the last second Sting moved and Harris hit the middle turnbuckle, Scorpion Death drop followed but Harris kicked out at the last second while the fans thought the match was over. Sting wanted the Scorpion Death lock and grabbed hold of Harris legs but Sting took his eye of the ball to play to the crowd and like Daniels at TNA50, Harris absolutely rocked Sting with an up kick. Harris was straight up Catatonic – countered Sting got behind Harris and tripped Harris when he turned and Sting quickly had Chris Harris trapped in his Scorpion Death lock in the middle of the ring. Fans were on their feet chanting for Harris to tap but Harris was desperate to get to the ropes and Harris crawled with everything he had but at the last second Sting pulled Harris back into the middle of the ring. Harris looked heartbroken but had no choice but to tap out! Result| Sting beat Chris Harris via submission
Sting released the hold immediately and dropped to his knees as Chris Harris tried to bury his head in the mat before rolling straight out of the ring while holding his back.
Fans were on their feet going wild for Sting’s victory and will technically the match was not a 5 star match, excitement wise it would be hard to match this Main Event. Sting had his hand raised in victory and leaned against the top rope while the commentators praised both men’s effort but especially Sting who showed tonight that without question that he still has what it takes to be a force in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling proving he had both the chin and the heart for a fight.
Chris Harris was shown sitting against the ring steps outside of the ring covering his face with his hands, Harris upset with the loss tonight and it is a set back in his career but now it’s up to Chris Harris to respond. No handshake between Harris and Sting tonight.
TNA58 went off the air with the fans on their feet and ‘The Icon’ Sting standing on the middle turnbuckle celebrating his victory.

Not surprised to see Banks/D'Lo lose to the Bad Street Boys as it does a nice job of building up their feud and the tag title bout between Monty/Skipper and the Bad Street Boys at TNA61. Looking forward to seeing where you take Alpha Male Enterprises from here following that backstage segment. I can see an eventual feud between Banks/Brown and Skipper/Monty happening. Williams looked dominant out there against Kash and atleast he is looking strong again after suffering his first loss. I like the note of how Chris Harris is training with Norman Smiley for his return. That Raven/Punk in-ring saegment was brilliant! It was so unique, yet I could picture it all happening exactly as you captured both their characters well. The Storm/Abyss feud is awesome. Looking forward to Chris Hero's debut and what exactly you do with him! Sting going over Harris is no surprise, however, I'm intrigued to see where you go with Harris from here as the post-match notes have caught my attention. A potential heel turn? Good stuff as always, bud!

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 13th August 2003...With one year to spare until the next step in TNA's evolution, it makes me wonder if you're contemplating changing with the times like TNA did in the coming months. We'll see. Christian York and Joey Matthews in my mind got a big win against the Alpha Male Enterprise, and it's good to see given Matthews and York's lack of television exposure in previous years compared to that of D-Lo Brown's. I'm thinking that this will prepare York and Matthews for a future run with the TNA World Tag Team Championships, though. I'm not too big a fan of the Elix Skipper and Monty Brown combination, so hopefully this is the case. The Amazing Red with a win against Jimmy Rave was nice, in a form of X Division showcasing here. I'm sort of baffled by your lack of mention of an X Division really, as they were really one of TNA's defining factors in their younger days especially. But I guess it doesn't matter too much, since most of your roster is made up of really smaller guys. I do like your usage of statistics, though. I'm not sure what to think of Shawn Daivari as an interviewer, honestly, but he was pretty young here. Nice segment with Roderick Strong and Austin Aries, though the writing came off a little cringy to me for some reason. I think this is the official formation of an extra tag team to the division. You're doing good work in the tag division, for sure. Doug Williams and Kid Kash would put on a solid display, and I'm glad that they had what seemed to be a solid match. Your write-ups for matches are pretty solid, despite being brief. Frankie Kazarian and Williams should also put on a good show. I laughed a little at the very English "I'm going to knee your head in next" line. Big week next week, with the final stage in the Raven and CM Punk rivalry. A solid promo between the two next, in an angle that I may have saved for last, honestly. Emphasis on alcohol is strange, as I could understand this being the case for someone like the Sandman, but Raven never especially inserted himself with the sort. I see Punk getting the victory, here. Matt Sydal and Paul London would have had a phenomenal display with the Naturals, I was always fond of Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas. I can't say I'm familiar with Robbie Eckos, but good win for Ron Killings here. James Mitchell's promo was realistic, and I look forward to Abyss smashing in James Storm. I see that there is a lot of build to Abyss' character, taking out Low-Ki. I like that, Abyss needs more character development for sure. And finally, a decent win for Sting in the main event against Chris Harris. I liked Harris declining the hand shake from Sting, as it leaves enigmatic codes leading into next week's show. Overall, not a bad pay-per-view. Your writing continues to develop, and there is a lot of good stuff happening consistently.

Before I actually review your booking, I have to say, really not sure whether I like this diary mate! I like the layout in one sense; the little headings are useful, makes the show easy to follow... however, it doesn't work in other places - No colour, tiny text, dense chunks of text at times. And again on the roster.. I like seeing names bob up like Ken Anderson, Daivari, Antonio Banks cos I know they were about, it just all feels a little premature though for me. And no X-Division either? That was a TNA staple early doors! Anyway, despite sounding like Mr Negative, I actually quite like this in a way. For all its weaknesses are also strengths. You've built interesting stables, changed the company from what i'd usually expect to be reading, and you are booking it really well. Not a load of hasbeens and no name indy guys, it's full of potential stars everywhere and solid stories. I like that you've paired together Punk/Raven and their seg was the highlight of the show. Good to see you utilise York/Matthews - they could have gone further. Same can be said of Killings. Great main event to close the show, Sting looks like the bigger star but Chris Harris is certainly one to watch and gets a good rub here. Keep it up, you have a lovely colloquial writing style that feels nice to read. My only real critique would be no AJ when he's your top dog? Even if its a 2 min seg, get him in somewhere! The champion needs facetime mate!

allright I'm here to reply to your TNA show, you've let the Bad Street Boys go for the Tag Team Championship which is a nice decision. Punk and Raven in a farewell drink, very interested to see this. I hope Roode gets better soon. Aries and Strong are going to be a good tag team, I can guarantee that. Ha ha Raven spat the alcohol in Punk's face. Abyss and Storm next week in a No DQ Match should be a great quality match. Good win for Sting against Chris Harris. Disappointed that Styles wasn't on the show either as Beadyeye said.
Note: WWF 1994 Saturday Night RAW is up.

Alright, TNA58. Expecting a grand show with a main event the caliber of Sting versus Chris Harris. A great opening contest that saw Bad Street Boys pick up some momentum heading into their TNA Tag Team Championship match at TNA61. I'm getting the feeling that Antonio Banks and D'Lo Brown could turn on Monty Brown and Elix Skipper, giving York and Matthews the title win. The situation with Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode is certainly interesting. Not sure where it's going, or how long before Roode returns to the ring. Amazing Red going over Jimmy Rave was fine, very odd combination with Rave and ODB, Rave is someone who I would really like to see shine in this diary, more so than Red. Great in-ring segment to re-introduce Roderick Strong to the audience, as well as debut Austin Aries. Aries and Strong are two of my favorite independent stars ever and hope to see them achieve success here. Expected victory Doug Williams here to give him some steam as the rivalry with Frankie Kazarian rolls on. You're fairly behind Williams, it seems. Very well done segment with CM Punk and Raven to build their Last Man Standing match next week. The spitting of the vodka was a great touch, and Raven standing tall reassures me that Punk will be victorious next week, as he should. A solid match between Zero Gravity and The Naturals as you continue to build Matt Sydal and Paul London as threats in the tag team division. They are future champions, for sure. Ron Killings getting the victory next was the obvious call. Robbie Eckos is someone whose presence in the diary is questionable. Loved the promo from Jim Mitchell here, challenging James Storm on behalf of Abyss. Their match at TNA62 is definitely one to look forward to. Finally, the much anticipated match between Sting and Harris. Sting getting the victory, as I said previously, has its pros and cons. No handshake afterwards was the right way to go to possibly set up a rematch down the line. This was a setback for Harris, but I do still see him as a future TNA Champion. Him, CM Punk and Doug Williams all seem like the stars that you're grooming for the title. A great show overall. So many events to look forward to in the coming weeks.

I do really like how you announce main events a few shows ahead of time to build them up and make viewers tune in. I was confused for a moment when I read that the Bad Street Boys were going to face the Alpha Male Enterprise at TNA61, but then faced them tonight. Then I noticed that it was different members of the Enterprise. So good call there. Always been a fan of Christian York and Joey Matthews, going back to ECW. Interested in the Jerry Lynn/Bobby Roode stuff. Amazing Red was a big deal in 2002, I remember hearing a lot about him. However, I love me some Jimmy Rave and I want more of him. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong to dominate the tag team division please. I loved them in ROH, but I saw them split live. It made me sad. Figured that Douglas Williams would win, which I'm cool with as I loved his TNA run later in the decade. Good segment between Raven and CM Punk, reminds me of their ROH feud in a good way. I really like the team of Zero Gravity so I'm looking forward to that. Ron Killings winning was alright, not a big fan of him. Man, I love me some James Mitchell. Another highly anticipated main event announced. Big main event and I figured Sting would win after losing to Christopher Daniels. No handshake is interesting and might lead to a rematch. Overall, a solid show but I felt like it needed an appearance from AJ Styles or Christopher Daniels. One of them to cut a backstage promo or something. I also want the X Division. But still, good stuff.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Wednesday 20.08.2003 TNA59
TNA Champion; AJ Styles (18.06.03 – beat Low Ki) TNA Tag Team Champions; Alpha Male Enterprise (16.04.03 – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn) • TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
• Open| Mike Tenay was joined at ringside as usual by Don Callis & Jeremy Borash. Tenay welcomed everyone watching to the show before the 3 of them hyped tonight’s card especially looking at tonight’s Main Event a Last Man Standing match pitting Raven against CM Punk also ahead of their TNA championship match next week, tonight challenger, Christopher Daniels and TNA champion, AJ Styles will face off in the middle of the ring.
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk!
• Graphic| 8 Man Tag Team match| Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) V Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, D’Lo Brown, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)!
• Graphic| Up Next| Chris Sabin V Michael Shane w. Alexis Laree…
• Highlights| TNA57| Michael Shane & Alexis Laree debuted and bragged about being the cousin of and being trained by Shawn Michaels one of the greatest wrestlers off all time. Chris Sabin interrupted and mocked Shane to the delight of the crowd but after a distraction by Alexis, Shane left Sabin on his back following a Super kick.
• Recorded Interview| Chris Sabin laughed at the fact that women always seem to get him in trouble first Traci Brooks and now Alexis Laree. Sabin also joked about keeping his mouth shut and minding his own business. Sabin said he’s having fun and he’s not going to stop now and tonight Michael Shane the wannabe is going to find out that Chris Sabin is pretty damn sick!
• Time Limit| Reminder that all TNA title matches and Main Events have a 30 minute time limit while all other matches have a 20 minute time limit unless otherwise stated.
• Match 1| Chris Sabin beat Michael Shane w. Alexis Laree via pin fall| What a match! Sabin and Shane just clicked a great match replacing Daniels/Williams as the match of Year 2 so far. Sabin & Shane went 18 minutes and put everything they had on the line. Chris Sabin has impressed this year but Michael Shane tonight in his debut in even defeat showed that he has all the tools to be a top player here in TNA. Tenay claimed it was a star making performance by both men which would have caught the wrestling world off guard. Sabin finally picked up the win after catching a tired Shane over his shoulders as Shane tried to float over Sabin in the corner before drilling Shane with his Cradle Shock. Chris Sabin has really stepped up his game since the start of year 2 and based on current records is the wrestler of the year so far with tonight being his 5th win on the bounce. Both Sabin and Shane got a standing ovation from the crowd afterwards in respect of their efforts.
• Ringside| Borash, Callis & Tenay praised both Chris Sabin & Michael Shane will highlights of their match were shown. Tenay compared the match to the first AJ Styles/Low Ki match back at TNA01. They then turned their attention to what else was in store for tonight’s show – Jerry Lynn would speak for the first time since injuring Bobby Roode at TNA57 also we would take a look back at last weeks Main Event where Sting returned to the ring and beat one of TNA’s best in Chris Harris.
• Backstage| TNA champion, AJ Styles was shown talking with Don West then challenger, Christopher Daniels was shown being talked to by Dusty Rhodes TNA managements onscreen representative, Daniels clearly wasn’t listening to Rhodes. Tonight AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels will face off one final time ahead of their TNA championship match next week.
• Match 2| Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) beat Delirious & Shark Boy via pin fall following their Doomsday Device| Briscoe Brothers responded well to losing out on a shot at the TNA tag team titles against their long time rivals Bad Street Boys at TNA56. Delirious & Shark Boy were game opponents and while they don’t have the greatest of records they are only a young team who have the potential to eventually step up but tonight belonged to the teenagers from Delaware who will be looking to get back into the TNA tag title picture ASAP.
• Graphic| Tonight| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) make their in ring debut!
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk!
• Highlights| TNA51 – CM Punk revealed that Raven is a recovering addict having troubles in the past with both drink and drugs!
• Interview| YANG was in the ring while his partner Kid Kash was at ringside when his opponent Ken Anderson made his way out on to the stage with a microphone in hand. Anderson addressed the fans admitting to them that he had made some mistakes over the last couple of months he even punched a man who suffered with kidney cancer in the kidneys. Anderson said he was trying to change but he’s naturally an a-hole so asked the fans to get behind him and help him and Anderson will try his best to become a better person. Anderson then shared his opinion with YANG & Kid Kash saying in his opinion they are a couple of dirty little rats – playing on their team name Rebel against the System…
• Match 3| Ken Anderson beat YANG w. Kid Kash| Decent match, Kid Kash helped YANG get the advantage by clotheslining Anderson at ringside behind the match officials back. Fans got behind Anderson and it helped Anderson over the come the numbers disadvantage and finally put YANG away following his Green Bay Plunge. Ken Anderson rolled straight out of the ring following the bell; Kash was straight in the ring following the bell unhappy with the outcome. Ken Anderson claims to have seen the error of his ways and is trying to become a better person and over his last couple of appearances it seems Ken Anderson is at least on the right path.
• Earlier Today| Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, D’Lo Brown, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) escorted by Alpha Male Security were shown arriving at the arena in a humvee limousine as the commentators talked about the recent issues between AME plus tonight’s 8 man tag team match and the upcoming TNA tag team championship match where Brown & Skipper will defend against Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews).
• Backstage Interview| Shawn Daivari spoke with the number one contenders to the TNA tag team titles, Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews). Joey Matthews said Alpha Male Enterprise can mock their team name, their look, their background all they want but if they don’t take him and Matthews seriously than at TNA61, Bad Street Boys will make history and become the new TNA tag team champions and they will take extra pride in the fact that they have earned the right to be called champions.
• Graphic| 03.09.2003| TNA61| MAIN EVENT| TNA tag team championship © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews)!
• Ruling| TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling management have ruled that going forward any multi man tag team matches all wins and loses will be added to the wrestlers individual records and not tag team records…
• Match 4| Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) & Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) beat Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, D’Lo Brown, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown)| Good match which the fans fully enjoyed and were right behind both Bad Street Boys & Zero Gravity arguably the two top contenders to the TNA tag team titles. Monty Brown was very demanding of both Banks & Brown throughout the match. Brown seemed more bothered about Banks & Brown than he did his opponents and got to arrogant while trying to show Banks & Brown what he expected from them causing him to miss his Pounce tackle. Bad Street Boys then got their 6th victory is succession York pinned D’Lo following their Hangman DDT. Bad Street Boys motioned for the TNA tag team titles after the match while the champions, Brown & Skipper away from Banks & Brown fumed about the loss at ringside. Tenay mentioned it, if AME don’t start focusing on Bad Street Boys then at TNA61 there would be new TNA tag team champions.
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk!
• Highlights| TNA53 – Raven admitted to his past addictions as revealed by CM Punk before sharing that he had managed to conquer his demons unlike CM Punk’s Father, who Raven revealed is also an alcoholic but unlike Raven has not been able to beat his demons because he is weak minded like CM Punk who will not accomplish his mission in life of going down in history as the greatest wrestler off all time.
• Match 5| Ron Killings beat Shane Douglas via pin fall| Ron Killings continued his good run of form since breaking up his team with BG James who was shown watching the match backstage. Tonight was Killings’ most impressive victory also over the former World champion, Shane Douglas who after earning a contract thanks to help from Raven hasn’t really set TNA on fire. Killings scored the victory after surprising Douglas with a small package. Killings wants to get in the TNA title picture and if Killings continues winning then it will not be long until Ron Killings joins the chasing pack.
• Graphic| Next Week| TNA60| MAIN EVENT| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels!
• Video Package| Going through the history between current TNA champion, AJ Styles and the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels. TNA10| Gauntlet for the Gold – AJ thought he had eliminated Daniels from the Gauntlet match only for Daniels to get luck and have one of his feet land on the ring step before coming back into the ring to not only eliminate AJ Styles but to go on and beat Low Ki to become the first ever TNA champion! TNA36 – AJ Styles became the first man to pin Christopher Daniels following his Styles Clash in a tag team match. TNA38 – Christopher Daniels retained his TNA title over AJ Styles in a great match, cheating AJ out of the victory following a low blow and his Angels Wings. While AJ Styles has pinned Daniels when it matters most Christopher Daniels on both occasions has crushed AJ Styles dreams a fact Daniels loves pointing out and if it happens again at TNA60 – Christopher Daniels the most hated man in TNA will have made history once again and will be a two time TNA champion…
• Stats| Christopher Daniels has won 18 of his 22 matches giving him an 82% win rate, Daniels has also won 4 of his last 5 matches and the only two men who have beaten Daniels are current TNA champion, AJ Styles and former TNA champion, Low Ki but Daniels also holds victories over both men. AJ Styles has not lost a match since losing to Christopher Daniels at TNA38 and overall AJ has a 77% win rate with 20 wins from 26 matches including his last 8 matches.
• Face Off| Christopher Daniels music hit in the arena and the ‘Fallen Angel’ made his way out to the ring as the fans showered Daniels with boos. God’s Gift to Professional Wrestling entered the ring and motioned for the TNA title before requesting a microphone. Daniels stood back in the corner awaiting the arrival of the TNA champion, AJ Styles. AJ’s music hit in the arena and the ‘Phenomenal One’ came out to a phenomenal ovation. AJ with the TNA title in his hand joined Daniels in the ring before grabbing a microphone in his hand. AJ and Daniels then met face to face in the middle of the ring, Daniels in his suite and AJ in a casual shirt and jeans. Fans were fully behind AJ. Daniels had an arrogant smile on his face and went to talk only for AJ to tell Daniels to shut up!
AJ said he knows they have been asked to come out here tonight and have one final face off before their match next week but this doesn’t need to be happening. All Daniels needs to know if that next week he is going to get the beating that Daniels is owed to him after cheating AJ out of the TNA title back at TNA38. Daniels interrupted and told AJ Styles “your welcome”, AJ looked confused. Daniels said losing to the ‘Fallen Angel’ at TNA38 was the best thing to ever happen to AJ because it made AJ up his game and for 22 weeks AJ has managed to show people for a little while that he is not a failure he’s just unlucky. Daniels said AJ was unlucky because at any other time in this business AJ Styles would be regarded as the greatest wrestler in the world but unfortunately for AJ Styles he’s around today playing second fiddle to God’ Gift to Professional Wrestling! Daniels wasn’t finished and said AJ told Daniels to shut up a few minutes ago because AJ didn’t want to hear the truth come out of Daniels mouth and the truth is apart from TNA50 when it matters most and especially against him AJ Styles has failed to get the job done! AJ reacted and dropped Daniels with a right hand and Daniels instantly rolled out of the ring still with the microphone in hand.
Daniels laughed and said that proves that he is in AJ Styles’ head and Styles is worried about facing him next week. Daniels now in the aisle told AJ once again that he is an honest man and when he says something it happens just like one year ago tonight when Christopher Daniels said he was going to become the first ever TNA champion and win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and did. Next week at TNA60, he will once again crush AJ Styles dreams and regain the TNA title and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels! AJ frustrated threw his microphone down before kicking the ring ropes upset with himself for showing that Christopher Daniels has gotten into his head. Next week is the biggest challenge of AJ Styles career and AJ is finding out first hand that it is much hard to be the hunted than the hunter as Mike Tenay repeated what he said a few weeks ago that this TNA championship reign will either be the making or the breaking of AJ Styles!
• Highlights| TNA56| MAIN EVENT| Raven V CM Punk went to a No Contest after the match official lost control of the match. The fight between the two only ended after they crashed through a table together at ringside and neither man was able to get back to their feet leading to tonight’s Last Man Standing match.
• Match 6| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) beat Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo)| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) looked great and this quickly turned into a showcase match for the new team in their first appearance as a team. Mamaluke & Romeo are both experienced and former champions. During the match The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) were shown watching backstage during the match. Aries ended the match pinning Mamaluke following a Brain buster. More performances like tonight and it won’t take long to believe that Aries & Strong actually are greatness.
• Upcoming Events| TNA60| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels. TNA61| TNA tag team championship © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown). TNA62| NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH| James Storm V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell.
• Highlights| TNA58| MAIN EVENT| Sting beat Chris Harris via submission after Harris tapped out to Sting’s Scorpion Death lock…
• Ringside| Mike Tenay announced that next week we would hear from both Sting and Chris Harris. Also along with the huge Main Event where AJ Styles will defend his TNA title against Christopher Daniels another big match has been signed, next week in a rematch from TNA51 it will be Doug Williams V Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks.
• Graphic| Next Week| TNA60| Chris Hero makes his first live appearance!
• TNA News| Don West had an update on the condition of Bobby Roode who was injured at the hands of Jerry Lynn at TNA56 as a result of Lynn’s Cradle Pile driver. Roode’s doctors have released a statement saying that Roode will need to have surgery on his neck but at the minute Roode is just discussing his options on what type of surgery because the results of the different surgeries will be dependant on how much time away from the ring Roode will miss, but the statement claims Roode is aware that his decision will effect the rest of his career. Don West then exclusively revealed that he is hearing from his sources that Bobby Roode is actually thinking about suing Jerry Lynn and or TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling! West then introduced an exclusive interview with Jerry Lynn taken during the week, where Lynn has broken his silence on the situation…
• Exclusive Interview| Jerry Lynn echoed Amazing Red’s comments from last week saying he was obviously sorry that he injured Bobby Roode but it’s the nature of the beast, people are going to get hurt in the ring. Lynn has been hurt – Lynn also mentioned the irony of how Roode has been trying to make a name for himself in TNA with his dangerous clothesline to the back of the head which could break a man’s neck. Lynn said that was beside the point and he is sorry but Lynn will move on with his career and it will not distract him from earning one more shot at the TNA championship! Following the interview Don Callis called Jerry Lynn heartless.
• Up Next| Tonight’s Main Event| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk!
• Highlights| TNA58 – Last week CM Punk invited Raven to join him in the ring for farewell drink. Punk told Raven he despises him and vowed to not only beat Raven but also humiliate him at TNA60 and offered Raven a drink of vodka to prove Raven was strong minded. Raven took a big mouthful of vodka but then spat it into the face of the ‘Straight Edge’ CM Punk before dropping Punk with his Even flow DDT…
• Backstage| Raven and CM Punk were shown backstage ahead of their Main Event which is just moments away, Mike Tenay called tonight’s Last Man Standing match the culmination to the most personal rivalry in the 14 months of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
• Match 7| MAIN EVENT| LAST MAN STANDING MATCH| Raven V CM Punk| Tonight started with a great match between Chris Sabin and Michael Shane and it’s finished with another. The first ever Last Man Standing will go down in history. The match official completely lost control of the match as Raven and Punk fought at ringside up the aisle on the stage and in the crowd using everything they could get their hands on as a weapon. Late in the match in scenes similar to TNA56 – Raven again took himself and Punk off the ring apron and crashed through a table and it seemed like there wouldn’t be a winner again tonight both men showed they are strong minded by getting back to their feet as the match official reached nine.
Raven also came close later in the match after surprising Punk with his Even flow DDT but Punk rolled out of the ring to break the count only for Raven to follow Punk outside of the ring and spike him with a second Even flow DDT on the floor. Raven watched as the match official counted Punk down but Raven wasn’t finished he dragged Punk back to his feet breaking the officials count and rolled Punk back into the ring which was now covered in weapons including the ring steps and a couple of steel chairs. Raven followed Punk back into the ring only for Punk to shock everyone by dropping Raven face first on to the ring steps with Raven’s own Even flow DDT. Raven lay face down on the ring steps as Punk pulled himself back to his feet using the ropes. Punk then demanded the official stop his count. Punk picked up a steel chair and then ruthlessly and viciously caved Raven’s head in between the steel chair and the ring steps and again!! Raven was out cold blood now coming down his head. Raven was lifeless. Match official told Punk to stop but Punk ignored the official and hit Raven with two more, vile chair shots before tossing the chair aside and standing above Raven on the ring steps with his arms out in the crucifix position mocking Raven’s own pose as the match official counted Raven down for the 10 count – CM Punk is the last man standing! Result| CM Punk beat Raven in a Last Man Standing match
Raven was a bloody mess a puddle had formed on the ring steps underneath Raven’s head. Match official raised CM Punk’s hand in victory as demanded by Punk before checking on Raven and calling for assistance as CM Punk rolled out of the ring but CM Punk wasn’t done he went underneath the ring and pulled out a small black bag before rolling back into the ring…
CM Punk screamed at the officials to get away from Raven as Punk pulled out a bottle of vodka from the bag. Punk quickly opened the bottle of vodka and held Raven’s mouth open pouring the contents of the bottle down Raven’s throat as the fans booed – Mike Tenay was screaming at Punk’s appalling, disgusting behaviour. Raven was gagging as Punk continued to make Raven the recovering alcoholic drink the vodka, Punk then poured the rest of the bottle over Raven’s body. CM Punk had completely crossed the line. Mike Tenay was screaming for the Pay per View to be cut off but Punk wasn’t done he then pulled out a set of clippers from the bag and held up Raven’s bloody head before starting to shave Raven’s head as TNA59 finally went off the air with a number of TNA officials in the ring trying to stop CM Punk as Mike Tenay said tonight CM Punk was true to his word not only as Punk beat Raven tonight CM Punk has humiliated Raven!

TNA59! A big show tonight, that is for sure. Especially with that main event that should be brutal. Good opening contest with Chris Sabin getting the win in a well fought match between the two it seems. The right guy certainly won. The Briscoe Brothers versus Delirious and Shark Boy, a decent match with the Briscoes getting the win as they look to move into the tag title picture again. Good to see Ken Anderson get the victory against YANG, with a nice promo before the match. He is an a-hole indeed. Bad Street Boys and Zero Gravity versus Alpha Male Express was a huge match, and I'm glad to see the AME get knocked off honestly. Ron Killings beating Shane Douglas was expected as R-Truth, I mean Ron Killings, is certainly climbing back up the ranks in TNA. Oohhhh YEAHHH! AJ Styles versus Christopher Daniels next week. LETS GO. I'M READY. YOU'RE READY. LETS! DO! THIS? Austin Aries and Roderick Strong - GREATNESS - getting the win as a new, upcoming team was fine. Finally, a brutal main event last man standing match between CM Punk and Raven. Wow. The post-match actions were certainly very brutal as well, and this match and storyline was certainly lived up to with CM Punk being the biggest d-bag in TNA all of a sudden, it seems. Aside from it feeling like an overload of tag matches, this was a good show.

So stoked to finally see Raven and Punk go at it! Sabin/Shane is an amazing opener and it sounded like a great match. I hope that Shane losing here means that this feud between the pair is far from over and Shane can get the win over Sabin further down the line as it would do him wonders beating, statistically, the best guy on the roster. I like the little notes you do about small things, like any losses/wins in multi-man matches go on the guys individual record and not tag records. The 8 man tag sounded stellar. D'Lo taking the fall was the right move as it furthers the BSB/AME storyline. I'm pulling for Monty and Skipper to retain but I doubt it. Decent win for Killings to continue building him up. Loving the Daniels/Styles feud--you're building it well thus far. Once again going back to the stats, I love how you mentioned Daniels has only ever lost to A.J. and Low-Ki (both TNA Champions) before then mentioning that Daniels also has gotten wins over them in the past too. The pairing of Aries and Strong is a fantastic addition to the tag division! I could potentially see an Aries/Strong vs. BSB (granted they win) feud for the tag titles. Wow, the Punk/Raven match was everything I expected and more. It sounded brutal and I absolutely loved the ending, especially Punk standing on the steps above him doing Raven's signature pose. The post-match stuff was awesome. Pouring the vodka down his throat was a nice touch, as was shaving him bald. Really looking forward to seeing where you go from here with this feud! Awesome stuff as usual!

TNA Total Nonstop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 20th August 2003...Alright, a big line-up for this edition of TNA on pay-per-view. It has a really stacked line-up. That time limit reminder is ominous of what could come up in this show, bit of a strange tidbit to include in this show in particular. Chris Sabin with a win against Michael Shane was fine, in a solid match-up. These two always knew how to put on a great match, but I'm not sure about the opening match of a show being the match of the year - it makes you wonder. Also, not really digging the combination of Alexis Laree and Shane, there isn't really a reason to understand their connection on-screen. When Shane was with Traci Brooks, that worked I thought. The Briscoe Brothers with a win against Delirious and Shark Boy was fine - it seems like an oddball combination, but I could understand the team of Shark Boy and Delirious if given some talk time, for definite. They could be quite an amusing pairing. Meanwhile Mark and Jay continue to prove themselves worthy. I think you may be grooming them to go on and be TNA World Tag Team Champions. Is there a reason why Kid Kash is teaming with YANG? I don't quite understand that. Ken Anderson meanwhile I still cannot get behind, he's coming across as very blue chipper - and that's a gimmick that grows stale very quickly. Additionally, is Anderson a face or a heel? His pre-match promo made him sound like he was turning face yet was still hinting at remaining a heel with "changing his ways" as a cover-up. If so, that could be a fun little storyline with plenty of mileage. Anderson with a win against YANG was fine. I think you could do a lot more with Kash in particular. Great little eight-man tag team match here, Christian York and Joey Matthews alongside Matt Sydal and Paul London going over the Alpha Male Enterprise was great, and it seems like York and Matthews could be pretty close to the TNA World Tag Team Championships. I don't think they will win the belts, though. I do like the prestige that you have given each title, however. Ron Killings defeating Shane Douglas was fine, getting Killings back in the running for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship picture. He wasn't a bad champion by any means in real life - just keep his reign relatively short. I would like to see an interesting angle with Douglas, he seems like he is just treading water lately. Dynamic promo with Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles, setting up the next TNA World Heavyweight Championship defense by AJ. Daniels comes across as the face of TNA, given your method of booking him throughout the past fourteen months. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong with a win against Tony Mamaluke and Romeo is fine, establishing this newly formed tag team methodically. One thing I will say is that despite your tendency to focus on smaller talents and tag team wrestling - nothing wrong with that - you do need something else to spice up the content from week to week: whether it be hardcore wrestling (which was a hot topic in the early 2000s), a midget division, or something of that nature. Heck, maybe enforcing the open door policy would be helpful. Your format of booking is fine, but could use some spicing up as it's getting mildly repetitive with only fresh angles and hyped matches keeping the viewer tuned in. Bobby Roode suing TNA Wrestling could be a fun angle, I look forward to more of this. Jerry Lynn didn't come across as too sincere in his interview apologising for injuring Roode's neck. And finally, a solid Last Man Standing match to put an end to the rivalry between Raven and CM Punk. The finish came across to put Punk over whilst also putting Raven in position as a resilient veteran - which he is - so the story you told here was great stuff. I do think the aftermath was a little too much and could entice Raven to resume the rivalry, which I guess would be cool - but I think the story you told here should have been it. A solid edition this week.

Damn, you do have a lot of ROH talent! That is a great thing though, and it's good to see you are using them all correctly. My reply might not be the best because I haven't been following, but I'll try to keep tabs.
The fact that Styles and Daniels is your World Title feud is amazing. Something TNA never really capitalized on. Keep pushing Sabin, that dude was a big name for the X Division in the early years and definitely helped put them on the map. DEM BOYS!? You signed The Briscoes? Awesome. Their gimmick is perfect for this day and age of TNA. PUSH THEM. Anderson? That's nuts. Not sure what you could set up for him. The team of Strong and Aries always made for great wrestling matches, so if you end up pairing Strong/Aries with The Briscoes, you'll definitely have a reader. That could be nuts for your tag division. Jerry Lynn against Styles or Daniels? Count me in. And an awesome main event, with the obvious finish of Raven putting Punk over. It was always a great feud in reality, but they never got the complete chance to shine. Wonder what's next for Punk with all the crazy craphe just did. A good show, and hopefully I can follow all of the storylines now.

Massive show for you this.
I wouldn't have put Sabin over a debuting star. That's an odd decision for me. The Briscoe Brothers are a decent enough tag team and going over staple bottom feeders like Shark Boy is a good way to rebuild them. Anderson rebuiling his rep as a reluctant face is good character change for him and the win helps solidify the turn. The eight man tag match is packed full of action I like it! The implosion of AME continues and costs them another win - no way do the Badstreet Boys fall short in two weeks time. The slow burn of momentum for Killings is good. Just make sure it doesn't flatline. Excellent promo between AJ/Daniels. Really enjoyed reading it and it was a great final confrontation. Can't wait for the title match. Standard debut tag team match for Strong/Aries. I'm intrigued by the Bobby Roode story. I feel like this could be a double turn maybe? Jerry Lynn goes heel who justifies actions with "it's the nature of the beast"? Either way it's good. Excellent show closer with Punk and Raven, top match up and the post match was great. You've put Punk over massively here, but my only worry is where does he go now? Surely he has to be the top contender to the TNA title? Good show. I would like to see you trying to get more people on the show - no Chris Harris or Sting even mentioned? And it would be nice to see the X-Division too eventually - that was a TNA staple early doors. Keep it up the stories are good here, I'm intrigued.

My apologies for taking so long to get to this reply, Snick. Onto the show itself, a huge one as expected with the monstrous main event of CM Punk versus Raven. A fantastic way to start things off with Chris Sabin going over Michael Shane. I liked how good the match came across, as well as the show of respect afterwards. I don't see much star potential in Shane, but Sabin is definitely someone to watch. Briscoe Brothers picking up a win was needed. I would absolutely love to see them as TNA Tag Team Champions in 2004, though sooner would work for me as well. Ken Anderson's promo came off as very odd to me. It just doesn't seem in his nature to ask the fans for forgiveness. Nonetheless, a good win for him over YANG. A huge eight man tag team match here. Love the team of Bad Street Boys and Zero Gravity, so it was great to see them get the win. A lot of hype for the Tag Team Championship match at TNA61, which I am looking forward to a lot. Ron Killings continuing to receive a push is fine, but it's just difficult for me to get behind him. It always has been. An extremely well written face off between Christopher Daniels and the TNA Champion, AJ Styles. Great stuff, and it's been that way throughout their entire rivalry. Their title match next week, in my honest opinion, could end up being the best match of the diary thus far. A nice debut for GREATNESS, who I would love to see quickly rise in the ranks. I really believe that you have the best tag team division on the board at the moment. Bobby Roode suing Jerry Lynn and TNA?! That's a twist that I wasn't expecting. I was really iffy about this program, but now I'm sold on it. Lastly, a wicked brutal main event between CM Punk and Raven, just as needed and expected. The finish and aftermath really painted Punk as a cold-hearted bastard, which is perfect for him. Punk is shining at the moment. The next TNA Champion if you ask me. An excellent show. You certainly did not disappoint, and there is still so much to look forward to.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling Wednesday 27.08.2003 TNA60
TNA Champion; AJ Styles (18.06.03 – beat Low Ki) TNA Tag Team Champions; Alpha Male Enterprise - Elix Skipper & Monty Brown (16.04.03 – beat Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn)
• Open| TNA60 opened with images from what happened after last weeks Main Event where CM Punk beat Raven in a Last Man Standing Match. No commentary or music just disturbing images of Punk forcing a bloody and beaten Raven who is a recovering alcoholic to drink vodka! Punk who promised to humiliate Raven in the build up to last weeks match lived up to his word because also after soaking Raven in vodka, CM Punk shaved Raven’s head!!
• Exclusive Footage| Once CM Punk was removed from ringside, officials checked on a bloody, hurt and embarrassed Raven who was gagging and getting sick at ringside. Cameras also watched backstage later when Raven who had patches of hair on his head was refusing medical attention but Raven could barely stand and was falling all over the place until paramedics finally calmed Raven while a TNA official asked for the cameras to stop rolling.
• Ringside| Mike Tenay sitting at ringside before tonight’s Pay per View officially went on the air has been asked to issue a statement on behalf of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling management after what occurred after last weeks Main Event courtesy of CM Punk. TNA management was disgusted and do not condone CM Punk’s actions and Raven a recovering alcoholic being forced to drink will never been shown again in video form on any TNA programming. TNA apologises to Raven, also CM Punk has been fined and suspended. Tenay noted it was the biggest fine TNA management had ever dished out. TNA management’s apologises to its audience for the disturbing scenes especially those who were offended enough to contact TNA offices this past week to complain. Mike Tenay said TNA management never wish to open a broadcast like this again but now it was time to get TNA60 underway which would be headlined by AJ Styles defending his TNA championship against the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels…
• TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling…
• Video Package| Tonight in the Main Event, AJ Styles defends his TNA championship against the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and the two men have quite the history. AJ Styles was the first man who ever beat Christopher Daniels but more importantly Daniels beat AJ twice when it mattered most and crushed AJ Styles’ dreams eliminating AJ from the Gauntlet for the Gold match costing AJ the chance to become the first ever TNA champion and then at TNA38 – Daniels successfully retained his TNA title against AJ following a low blow and his Angels Wings. AJ Styles knows there is a lot of pressure on him and knows that his reign as TNA champion will either make him or break him and tonight if Daniels manages to crush AJ Styles’ dream once again then Christopher Daniels will once again not only prove to be a man of his word but much more importantly will once again reign as TNA champion!
• Ringside| Mike Tenay joined by Don Callis & Jeremy Borash at ringside welcomed everyone to TNA60 and quickly ran through the card which would see a rematch from TNA51 when Doug Williams takes on Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks also tonight we would witness the debut of Chris Hero plus we would hear from Chris Harris and ‘The Icon’ Sting but tonight’s Main Event is what everybody came to see…
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels!
• Earlier Today| Christopher Daniels was shown arriving at the arena earlier today in a chauffeur driven Bentley. TNA champion, AJ Styles was then shown making his way into his locker room. Both champion and challenger were here early today ahead of tonight’s huge Main Event.
• Fact| TNA championship on both occasions has been won on a TNA Pay per View event ending with a 0. Will history repeat itself tonight at TNA60?
• Ringside| Michael Shane’s music hit in the arena unexpectedly as Shane is not scheduled to be in action tonight. Michael Shane and his girlfriend Alexis Laree stepped out on to the stage dressed in their street clothes and Shane had a microphone in hand. Before Shane spoke Borash mentioned how impressive Michael Shane was last week even in defeat against Chris Sabin which really opened everyone’s eyes to just how much potential both Shane and Chris Sabin have and if it wasn’t for CM Punk’s actions last week then they would be the talk of the industry right now. Shane said he is going to make this quick he just wanted to come out here tonight and tell all of his fans that tonight he would not be in action so who ever would like a refund please contact TNA management and let your voices be heard. Shane thanked the fans before blowing kisses out to the fans before getting a kiss on the cheek from Alexis. The arrogance of Michael Shane is unbelievable.
• Time Limit| Reminder that all TNA title matches and Main Events have a 30 minute time limit while all other matches have a 20 minute time limit unless otherwise stated
• Match 1| Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn beat Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) via pin fall| Lynn & Red the first ever TNA tag team champions teamed up tonight for the first time since losing to TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) in a Steel Cage match at TNA48. Lynn and Red made short work of Mamaluke & Romeo but excited the fans in the process and gave the crowd something to cheer about. Red scored the victory after pinning Mamaluke with his Red Star Press after Lynn had planted him with his TKO. Both Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn’s hot streak continues with Red winning four of his last 6 while Lynn has won his last 6 matches in all competitions with the only low point being injuring Bobby Roode. Mike Tenay revealed that we would hear from Bobby Roode next week to get an update on his condition but also find out more on whether Roode is suing either TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling, Jerry Lynn or both.
• Graphic| Tonight| ‘The Monster’ Abyss will be in action!
• Highlights| TNA58| MAIN EVENT| Sting beat Chris Harris via submission after Harris tapped out to Sting’s Scorpion Death lock…
• Interview| TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari standing in the middle of the ring introduced his guest the head trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy, ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris. Harris stepped out on stage to a respectful ovation from the fans in attendance, Harris wearing jeans with a shirt and blazer. Harris didn’t look too happy as he made his way down the aisle before joining Daivari in the ring. Harris and Daivari shook hands. Daivari asked Chris Harris how he felt today, 2 weeks removed from losing to ‘The Icon’ Sting in the biggest match of his life at TNA58. Harris said in he was honoured and privileged to have been given the opportunity to wrestle one of the greatest wrestlers of all time but the reality is, he lost and it hurts. Harris admitted to being gutted but promises that he has learnt from the loss and it will only make Harris stronger because now Harris knows the standard he has to reach if he wants to one day represent TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling as its champion. Harris congratulated Sting on his victory and told Sting that he still has it but if they ever wrestle again the outcome will be completely different. Harris told Daivari that’s all he has to say tonight before exiting the ring. Chris Harris admittedly gutted about losing to Sting in the biggest match of his career at TNA58, still to come tonight we would hear from ‘The Icon’ Sting himself!
• Graphic| Up Next| Doug Williams V Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks…
• Video Package| Doug Williams beat Frankie Kazarian in the Main Event of TNA51 but since then Williams has lost to Christopher Daniels while Kazarian has won 3 consecutively including a victory over Raven. Kazarian also attacked Williams backstage following TNA55. Since then Kazarian has also claimed that Doug Williams beating him was an upset and while Williams has been all hype, Frankie Kazarian is the real deal.
• Backstage| Doug Williams and then Frankie Kazarian who is now calling himself the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’ with Traci Brooks were shown making their way from their locker room ahead of their rematch would could have quite easily headlined tonight’s show.
• Match 2| Frankie Kazarian w. Traci Brooks beat Doug Williams| Really good match, better than their original match at TNA51 mainly due to the fact both men were not as cautious tonight. Williams was out for revenge for the backstage sneak attack while Kazarian wanted to prove that his loss to Williams at TNA51 was indeed an upset/fluke. Traci got involved at the finish after Williams rocked Kazarian with a number of knees Williams ran Kazarian into the corner only for Brooks to grab hold of Kaz’s legs so Williams rolled out of the corner alone and as soon as Williams was on a knee Kazarian nearly took Williams jaw off with a bicycle kick which knocked Williams out for the 3 count. Williams’ eyes rolled to the back of his head on impact of the kick. Big win for Frankie Kazarian who after the bell was down in Williams’ face screaming at him that he told him it was an upset! Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks then had their arms raised in victory – Kazarian/Williams are a long way from done!
• Replay| Frankie Kazarian’s bicycle kick to Doug Williams was shown a number of times from a couple of different angles after wards Doug Williams was shown being helped from ringside by TNA paramedics.
• Backstage| Food caterers were shown bringing food and champagne into the locker room of the top contender to the TNA championship, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
• Ringside| Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about Christopher Daniels having the champagne on ice already in preparation of becoming the TNA champion once again. Don Callis reminded everyone that when Christopher Daniels says he goes to do something, Daniels does it. Tenay reminded everyone that tonight still we would witness the debut of Chris Hero and hear from ‘The Icon’ Sting but up next tonight ‘The Monster’ Abyss returns to the ring…
• Graphic| 10.09.03|TNA62| MAIN EVENT| NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH| James Storm V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell!
• Recorded Interview| Jim Mitchell with Abyss standing beside him said Abyss will carry on his path of destruction through the entire TNA roster tonight when he destroys BG James. Mitchell explained to BG that tonight he has Low Ki and James Storm to blame for the pain he is about to endure. Mitchell told Storm that when he agreed to face Abyss in a No Disqualification match he sealed his own fate and Storm may have won a No Disqualification match but Storm must have forgotten about the beating Abyss gave him in January. Mitchell finished by telling James Storm that in two weeks Abyss will end James Storm’s career just like he has ended Low Ki’s career. James Storm your doomsday is upon you!
• Match 3| Abyss w. Jim Mitchell beat BG James via pin fall following his Black Hole Slam| Abyss completed dominated the more experienced and decorated BG James. BG gave everything he had but it wasn’t enough and Abyss took the victory following his Black Hole Slam. Abyss was not done following the match and spiked BG James with his Shock Treatment. Jim Mitchell was ordering Abyss to carry on the punishment when Ron Killings ran out to protect his friend and former partner BG James. Mitchell held Abyss off and ordered Abyss out of the ring. Killings and the match official continued to check on BG James until Abyss reached under the bottom rope and grabbed hold of Killings leg and pulled Killings out of the ring before crashing Ron Killings into the ring steps. Jim Mitchell celebrated the latest carnage caused by ‘The Monster’ Abyss. James Storm may have made the biggest mistake of his life accepting to face ‘The Monster’ Abyss in a match with no rules after knocking Jim Mitchell out with his Super kick!
• Graphic| Tonight| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) V RATS – Rebel Against the System (Kid Kash & YANG)!
• Graphic| Tonight’s Main Event| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels!
• Backstage Interview| Christopher Daniels was standing by backstage with Shawn Daivari ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Daniels admitted that the champagne is on ice until Daniels has once again lived up to his word, when he beats AJ Styles to become the TNA champion once again. Daniels said people may think he is arrogant but the fact is he is the best wrestler in the world today and has complete confidence that tonight he will once again crush AJ Styles dreams and take back what should always have been his the TNA title and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels…
• Video Package| Looking at the number of Chris Hero video packages we have seen other the last number of weeks introducing Chris Hero to the TNA audience where Hero has claimed to be everything the people and TNA need a hero…
• Debut| TNA Ring Announcer, David Penzer introduced… Chris Hero! A symbol playing on the Superman S symbol appeared on the screen but it included CH for Chris Hero. Hero who is from Ohio stands at 6ft 4in and weighs in at 225lb. Hero was wearing a blue t-shirt which had the same symbol on the front. Mike Tenay ran through some of the names that trained Chris Hero; Dory Funk, Les Thatcher, Tracy Smothers, Dave Taylor, Fit Finley and William Regal plus Hero has trained in Japan and wrestled all over the world. Mike Tenay called Chris Hero a true student of the game a ‘Wrestling Machine’ and a great strong addition to the TNA roster…
Chris Hero now had a microphone in hand. Hero said if Mike Tenay has just done his job right then he would have informed everyone watching at home about his credentials and now Hero would take over and tell everyone in the arena and everyone listening backstage but before Hero could continue the lights in the arena went out! Then Sting’s music hit in the arena which brought the fans to their feet. Sting then dropped from the rafters and stood in the middle of the ring under a spotlight as Chris Hero looked a mixture of confused and angry. Lights came back on in the ring and Hero stormed towards Sting only for Sting to point out his baseball bat towards Hero which stopped Hero in his tracks. Sting pointed at the microphone in Hero’s hands so Hero reluctantly passed Sting the microphone before dropping and rolling out of the ring.
Sting asked where Chris Hero was going, Sting wanted to talk to him but Hero stayed in the aisle. Sting told Hero that he has been watching his videos and heard his claims that TNA needs a hero! Sting asked the fans if they need a hero. Sting said he sees right through Hero’s claims. Sting reminded everyone that he vowed to test himself against the best TNA has to offer and it remains to be seen whether Chris Hero is among the best but still Sting has heard a lot about Chris Hero and he knows Hero was trained by greats plus Sting just doesn’t like Hero but still Sting is willing to give Chris Hero the opportunity of a lifetime, Chris Hero makes his in ring debut by going one on one against him at TNA64 on24th September. Hero thought it over in the aisle before accepting Sting’s challenge before turning and heading up the aisle. Mike Tenay was in shock at what had just happened but it has lead to Sting facing Chris Hero at TNA64! Sting posed for the fans in the ring as Don Callis claimed Sting was jealous of the fact that Chris Hero could replace him as a hero to all the TNA fans.
• Upcoming Events| TNA61 – Main Event| TNA tag team championship © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews). TNA61 – Main Event| No Disqualification Match| James Storm V Abyss w. Jim Mitchell. TNA64 – Main Event| Sting V Chris Hero!
• Commentary| Don Callis claimed that a number of TNA tag teams have taken exception to the comments GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) made a couple of weeks ago. Callis claimed that GREATNESS has already made a number of enemies in the TNA tag team division…
• Match 4| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) beat RATS (Kid Kash & YANG) via a disqualification| Kid Kash & YANG were a step up in competition for Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. GREATNESS stepped up to the challenge and the two teams had a good match. Fans are already getting behind Aries and Strong. Just when Aries and Strong were getting control of the match Aries had just caught YANG with a running dropkick in the corner as Strong dumped Kash over the top rope only for The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) to slide into the ring to confront GREATNESS so the match official called the match off…
The Naturals & GREATNESS were faced off in the middle of the ring, The Naturals clearly one of the teams that have a problem with the addition of GREATNESS to the tag team division. GREATNESS were not backing down and challenging Naturals to a fight as the match official tried to avoid a confrontation but then out of nowhere Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) jumped GREATNESS from behind flooring both Aries & Strong. The 2 teams 4 men then put the boots to both Aries & Strong as the match official tried to stop the attack before calling for help. Officials eventually came out and they managed to stop the Briscoe’s and The Naturals from injuring Aries & Strong. Commentators wasn’t sure if The Naturals and the Briscoe Brothers were working together but what they were sure about was that the formation of GREATNESS has caused a number of teams to be worried about their place in the TNA tag team division.
• TNA News| Don West kicked off the news by introducing some exclusive footage from earlier tonight after Sting challenged Chris Hero to a match at TNA64…
• Exclusive Footage| Chris Hero stormed into the office of TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes who was in the middle of a meeting with Shane Douglas. Douglas took exception to the interruption but Hero ignored Douglas and insulted him before Rhodes asked Douglas to leave. Hero accused Sting of stealing his spotlight tonight and ruining his debut. Hero demanded that next week he does over his debut and no one is allowed to interrupt him. Rhodes agreed but and told Hero to get out of his office.
• TNA News| Don West finished up by announcing two more matches signed for next weeks Pay per View TNA61. After what happened earlier on tonight Ron Killings has challenged Abyss to a match plus Michael Shane will be in action when he takes on Paul London, West reminded everyone that Shane & London had a MOTYC on an independent show last year so next week like Shane did last week could steal the show.
• Graphic| Next Week| TNA61| MAIN EVENT| TNA tag team championship © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) V Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews)!
• Backstage Interview| Shawn Daivari was backstage with TNA champion, AJ Styles just moments away from tonight’s Main Event. AJ Styles said he has been waiting for this match ever since it was announced. AJ admitted that it was true that Christopher Daniels crushed his dreams more than once last year. AJ also admitted that Christopher Daniels overall was a great champion even if he was lucky to become the champion in the first place. AJ also brought up Christopher Daniels backing up every claim he’s ever made in the ring and then running his mouth afterwards just so people can’t forget it. People will never forget the beating AJ gives Daniels tonight but afterwards AJ is not going to mention it again because that will hurt Christopher Daniels even more, no longer being in the TNA title picture and not being the centre of attention while AJ Styles will move on to the next contender. AJ finished by telling Christopher Daniels that he too is a man of his word…
• Video Package| History between TNA champion, AJ Styles and the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels. Daniels became the first ever TNA champion after beating the entire TNA roster at the time in the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match however at one point in the match it seemed as if AJ Styles had eliminated Christopher Daniels only for one of Daniels feet to land on the bottom ring step. Daniels then snuck back in and eliminated AJ Styles. AJ Styles would later be the first man to beat Christopher Daniels after pinning him in a tag team match following his Styles Clash which earned AJ a shot at the TNA title. Christopher Daniels retained the TNA title against AJ Styles after cheating his way too victory, Daniels used an illegal low blow before spiking AJ with the match winning Angels Wings. Christopher Daniels has twice crushed AJ Styles dreams when it comes to the TNA title will he make it a third tonight while AJ Styles is looking for revenge while also looking to prove himself as the TNA champion!
• Backstage| Top contender, Christopher Daniels and then TNA champion, AJ Styles were shown making their way from their locker room ahead of tonight’s Main Event…
• Match 5| MAIN EVENT| TNA championship © AJ Styles V Christopher Daniels| AJ and Daniels stood face to face at the bell and the fans were on their feet, adding to the big fight atmosphere in the arena. Both men backed into their corner the fans were solidly behind the TNA champion.
Instant classic! AJ and Daniels had a match which was up there with the two iconic matches between AJ and Low Ki. Match went around 22 minutes. AJ and Daniels proving why they and Low Ki have been the standard these first 14 months of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. AJ kicked out of Daniels BME and Last Rites and also managed to get to the bottom rope when locked in Daniels’ dangerous Koji clutch which has made some of the best tap out. Daniels didn’t have it all his own way and showed just as much heart as AJ Styles like him or not. Daniels kicked out of AJ’s Spiral tap after being rocked by AJ’s Pele kick and springboard into a reverse DDT.
Both men wanted their big move Daniels was desperate to spike AJ with his Angels Wings while AJ wanted to hit his Styles Clash knowing it could lead them to victory and more importantly the TNA championship. Daniels like he did at TNA38 took the easy way out and managed to drop AJ with a low blow behind the match officials back. Fans were on their feet in anger and JB & Tenay were outraged while Callis praised Daniels actions and mocked AJ from not learning from past mistakes. Daniels arrogantly put AJ’s head in between his legs and set him up for Angels Wings but before spiking AJ, Daniels shouted out “DREAMCRUSHER” which allowed to sweep Daniels legs and lift Daniels in one motion in position for his Styles Clash and unlike Daniels, AJ did not hesitate when he got chance and planted Daniels in the middle of the ring with the Styles Clash which was enough to give Styles his first successful title defence. Result| TNA champion, AJ Styles beat Christopher Daniels via pin fall to retain the TNA championship
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels were both on their backs exhausted from an unbelievable battle where both men put everything on the line but in the end Christopher Daniels finally got his comeuppance and AJ Styles finally got his revenge on the man who crushed AJ’s dreams on two occasions but tonight AJ Styles returned the favour.
AJ Styles was handed his TNA title and AJ reacted like it was the first time AJ was handed the TNA title he clutched the title to his chest before jumping up on to the middle turnbuckle as Christopher Daniels rolled out of the ring and sat in the aisle watching as AJ continued to celebrate. What next for Christopher Daniels a man who has been in the TNA title picture its entire existence is now looking in from the outside.
The ‘Phenomenal One’ continued to celebrate with his TNA title with the fans on their feet as the commentators wondered who would be next in line for a shot at the TNA championship. Mike Tenay congratulated AJ Styles on his victory as TNA60 went off the air.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling News| August 2003
• UPDATE: As reported last month there is genuine “heat” between Chris Harris and James Storm. Some sources say it is just a case of clash of personalities. Chris Harris is very strict, quiet and professional who truly wants to represent TNA as the TNA champion. James Storm also wants the TNA title so there may also be a competitive rivalry but Storm is the complete opposite to Harris, loud, opinionated and much more relaxed than Chris Harris. Other sources claim their issues go deeper than that and below are a timeline of events which back up these claims…
• TNA03 – After winning the wildcard one night tag team title tournament, James Storm turned down Chris Harris’ full time tag team suggestion but that’s not the issue the issue is when they toasted beer bottles – Harris was left embarrassed after being covered in beer and blames James Storm for this.
• Chris Harris was named the head trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy.
• TNA10| Gauntlet for the Gold – Chris Harris apparently requested to eliminate James Storm even though both are faces, Harris’ reasoning was because it would separate them and show that Harris is held in a higher regard than Storm. The move may have back fired though as the fans booed Chris Harris afterwards.
• Chris Harris was injured and was replaced as the head trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy by James Storm. Harris was not happy with that decision and thinks have escalated since now Harris is back in charge because the general feel is that the students at the TNA Wrestling Academy learned more and enjoyed training more under James Storm.
• TNA50| Coming of Age – Chris Harris and James Storm during their 10 man tag team match actually had a visible unprofessional argument and it got to the point where Chris Harris actually nearly walked out on the match and it needed Jerry Lynn to calm things down.
• A backstage segment between Chris Harris and James Storm was due to take place before TNA50| Coming of Age but it was cancelled because either Harris or Storm refused to take part.
• Since TNA50 both men especially James Storm has taken verbal ‘inside’ jabs at the other during interviews. It’s a situation people will have to keep an eye on and TNA News will update with any further developments.
• A lot of people within and especially outside of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling are calling for TNA to add a mid card singles title but at the minute management continues to stand firm and reject this idea. Their thought process is one title for each division treated with equal respect or as close to equal respect as possible. Also TNA management does not want a champion of a type of division because they don’t want to pigeon hold a wrestler/division.
• TNA may make more cuts over the next couple of months to make room for more fresh young, hungry signings.
• TNA management clearly has a lot of faith in Chris Hero to put him in a program with ‘The Icon’ Sting upon his debut.
• No more news on how long Bobby Roode will be out of action.
• Jeff Jarrett is still under contract with TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling management.
• A month or so ago TNA management was happy with the babyface side of their roster seeing AJ Styles, Low Ki, Chris Harris, James Storm, Jerry Lynn and Amazing Red as their top faces then was added Sting, Raven and Doug Williams while Chris Sabin has looked good recently. Heel side a month ago saw Christopher Daniels really taking care of things by himself but now work has been done on the heel side of things now as well as Daniels, CM Punk has stepped up while Abyss has returned. While management is also getting behind the likes of Bobby Roode, Michael Shane, Frankie Kazarian and Chris Hero while Alpha Male Enterprise especially Monty Brown and Elix Skipper are also making more of an impact. At the end of August, TNA management are said to be happy overall and are looking forward to the next couple of months and are already making plans for this time next year.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 27th August 2003...After last week's show, you have a lot to live up to in the fallout. Firstly, nice touch with the fallout of last week's brutal Last Man Standing match - Raven visibly damaged after the loss to CM Punk. I'm anticipating what should come next, with a rebranded, bald Raven making a return to TNA hopefully not for a month or two at least. Additionally a nice touch with the disclaimer regarding Punk's actions. On with this week's show in the present, a huge main event lined up for tonight with AJ Styles making a defense of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Christopher Daniels. I like the detail behind this big main event, with references from the past year or so of TNA shows. Michael Shane with the opening promo was nice, as you seem to be giving Shane and Alexis Laree more chemistry and characters. Shane with his arrogance is a nice addition to his character in particular. That said, it didn't do too much for me. The Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn is a strange tag team combination, despite being the first ever TNA World Tag Team Champions - but a fine win for them against Tony Mamaluke and Romeo. I personally would like to see Mamaluke and Romeo used more as competitors rather than enhancement stars, but nevertheless, this gets Lynn and Mamaluke back into the tag title hunt. Chris Harris' interview was fine, but it didn't really do anything rather than fill up time. It's strange that someone like Harris is the trainer of the TNA Wrestling Academy, but nevermind I suppose. Frankie Kazarian with a win against Doug Williams was fine in a solid bout, I bet that these two would have fantastic chemistry. It's action like this where you could build up a Pure Wrestling division - now that would be the perfect substitute for not having an X-Division. I love the amount of detail you have behind Daniels' high cultural lifestyle. Very nice attention here, and makes Daniels seem all the more obnoxious preparing a potential, huge celebration for him. Abyss on a killing spree is fine. He will probably take down James Storm when they face off. Storm wasn't as smooth a talent back in 2003. Abyss destroying BG James made sense, nothing to add here. I enjoyed that Abyss took out Ron Killings in addition to James, making him look all the more dangerous. Rightfully so. Chris Hero debuting in TNA Wrestling is awesome, I used to enjoy watching him in CZW around this time period. I don't like his promo though, as I feel as though a match would have benefitted the green-on-the-mic Hero better. Chris would have sucked on the mic in the year 2003. Sting interrupting him very quickly made sense, and now we could see Hero really make a name for himself against the veteran. That said, please keep Sting strong. I do like the storyline going on here, though. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong with a win against Kid Kash and YANG made sense, though the disqualification finish was an intriguing decision to make. The Naturals and the Briscoe Brothers also getting involved was nice - I would very much like to see a four-corner match between these four talented teams. I still wish that Kash and YANG had some definition to why they are teaming up, though. Chris Hero's character is gaining steam already, which is nice in the least. AJ Styles' interview was nice, a lot of build for our main event. A solid main event between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, with AJ rightfully retaining the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Clean win, and nothing to follow up from it. This makes viewers tune in to future editions of TNA, and I anticipate what will follow this. Overall, another solid edition of TNA, as the undercard continues to feature standard storyline progression, whilst the main event scene is an ensemble, revolving tier of stars.

TNA60, lets go in another landmark with a big main event tonight! Solid opener with Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn pulling off the victory over the Smooth Stallions, not much here except that this was expected with who was in it. Meh, Chris Harris seems kind of distraught. Wonder what you'll do with him next. Frankie Kazarian beating Doug Williams was fine, actually kind of a nice rub for him with Williams being a bigger player than him earlier on in here. Nice promo from Jim Mitchell on Abyss, and an obvious win for Abyss over the downhill-spiraling BG James. Interesting promo with Chris Hero being interrupted by Sting of all people. That'll certainly be an interesting match up at TNA64. I like Sting facing these up-and-comers sporadically, though. GREATNESS versus RATS. Sounds funny. The Naturals coming down, and now the Briscoe Brothers! Chaos amongst the tag team division, you've built that division up well. After some more build up, it is time for the main event! A great battle between the two as expected and the right decision with AJ Styles retaining the TNA Championship and overcoming Daniels. Looking forward to see what goes on for both men from here. A solid show with a great payoff at the end in the main event.

Raven refusing medical attention makes him seem just that much more of a badass. Looking forward to the AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels main event. Nice little fact. The Smooth Stallions is a cool name for the team, but makes sense for Jerry Lynn and Amazing Red to win. Wonder what's next for Chris Harris. Kazarian evening the score with Doug Williams is good, I like their little feud. Looking for a tie breaker. James Storm and Abyss should be brutal. Abyss squashing BG James is for the best, as I can see James' run in TNA winding down. CHRIS IS AWESOME! I liked that his debut was a big deal, but having Sting come out is something I'm not a big fan of. Sting and Hero is pretty huge for Hero's first match. Too big I think. GREATNESS is an odd name, but I do love Roderick Strong and Austin Aries so I'm just happy to see them. Looking forward to the tag team main event for TNA61. Love the going back and talking about the Styles/Daniels rivalry, gives it a big fight feel. Excellent main event and AJ retaining was for the best. This is still very original and strong and I commend that.

Loved the touch of kicking off the show with unseen footage from last week. I believe that the Last Man Standing match should have marked the ending of CM Punk and Raven's rivalry, though I could see it continuing. Mike Tennay's statement was well done, showing just how serious the situation was. Michael Shane's promo was awesome. Very smug, and I liked that he mentioned Punk's actions. Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn with the win was fine, and I look forward to hearing from Bobby Roode next week. A nice promo from Chris Harris, two weeks after losing to Sting. A bit surprised that he seems to be remaining a face. Frankie Kazarian going over Doug Williams was definitely the right call, evening the score between the two. I look forward to the inevitable rubber match between the two. Christopher Daniels having champagne? A little disappointed that he didn't ask for an Appletini. A great, dominant victory for Abyss over BG James. His match against James Storm at TNA62 should be spectacular, and I would love for Storm to be able to pull off the win over "The Monster." Holy sh*t! Sting versus Chris Hero at TNA64?! Amazing. The segment was done well, and while it may be a bit too much, too quickly for Hero, I love the idea. The Naturals and the Briscoe Brothers ganging up on GREATNESS was fine, though I would like for Austin Aries and Roderick Strong to be able to get the better of the two teams, eventually becoming TNA Tag Team Champions. Finally, an incredible main event for the TNA Championship. A long time coming for AJ Styles to defeat Christopher Daniels, and everything was perfect. From the build up, to the pre match promos and video packages, to the match itself, all of it was impeccable. Ideally, Styles' next Challenger would be CM Punk, but regardless of who it is, I look forward to finding. A grand TNA60.
