TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING…
- RECORED INTERVIEW| A head of tonight’s Main Event for the TNA tag team championship, © Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and top contenders Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) spoke. Bad Street Boys – Joey Matthews said he and Christian York have started from the bottom here in TNA; a year ago Jimmy Yang called losing to Matthews the lowest point of his career. Together they have overcome obstacles and injuries and they deserve their shot at the TNA tag team titles and tonight they will become the new TNA tag team champions! Monty Brown again asked everyone to compare Bad Street Boys to them the most dominating brand in TNA – Alpha Male Enterprise. Skipper said there is no comparison. Brown continued by admitting that Bad Street Boys have more heart than them however heart can only get you so far and as Bad Street Boys will find out tonight, not far enough because tonight AME will retain their TNA tag team titles and continue their complete domination!
- GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS)! - OPEN| Mike Tenay standing at ringside alongside his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash welcomed everyone watching to TNA61. The three man team hyped tonight’s TNA tag team championship, Main Event before turning their attention to what else was scheduled for tonight’s Pay per View. ‘The Monster’ Abyss will be in action against Ron Killings. Killings challenged Abyss after being attacked last week. Chris Hero who will face ‘The Icon’ Sting at TNA64 will be here to “re-do” his debut. ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris will be in action for the first time since losing to Sting and will take on the changed man, Ken Anderson. Also Zero Gravity will be in singles action with Matt Sydal taking on Frankie Kazarian and Paul London facing Michael Shane in a rematch from their much talked about first match last year but first tonight the on screen representative of TNA management, Dusty Rhodes was in the middle of the ring with an announcement to make…
- ANNOUNCEMENT| Dusty Rhodes had a microphone in hand and the ring was set up for a contract signing. Rhodes thanked the broadcast team and welcomed the fans in attendance to the show. Rhodes told the fans he had an announcement to make but first turned the fans attention to the big screen on the stage…
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS STYLES CLASH!! - CONTRACT SIGNING| Dusty Rhodes congratulated AJ Styles on retaining his TNA championship in a classic last week against Christopher Daniels. AJ Styles has made it clear that he is moving on from Christopher Daniels and Rhodes understands that and TNA management have acted quickly decide who will be the next contender to the TNA title and that man is, receiving his TNA title shot in 2 weeks time at TNA63… Jerry Lynn!
Jerry Lynn one half of the first TNA tag team champions, former top contender to the TNA title, the who lasted the longest in the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match a man who has previously beaten AJ Styles and a man who is currently on a 5 match winning streak. Lynn shook hands with Rhodes as Don Callis vented about Jerry Lynn being rewarded for breaking Bobby Roode’s neck, calling it an outrage. Dusty Rhodes then introduced the reigning and defending TNA champion, ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles. Styles walked out in jeans and an AJ shirt carrying his TNA title over his shoulder. AJ Styles is in the form of his life with 9 victories on the bounce, undefeated in year 2 of TNA and with an overall win ratio of 78% from 27 matches. AJ joined Rhodes and Lynn in the ring. AJ and Dusty shook hands as did AJ and Jerry Lynn showing their respect for one another.
Dusty Rhodes repeated that AJ Styles would defend the TNA championship against Jerry Lynn at TNA63. Rhodes handed over the contract for both men to sign and reminded them that once they sign their contract they can address their opponent at TNA63. Lynn signed the contract first, followed by the champion. Lynn picked up a microphone and thanked AJ, Rhodes and TNA management for this opportunity. Lynn said he would make this quick. Lynn knows that he’s at the tail end of his career and his match against AJ Styles at TNA63 could possibly be his last ever shot at the TNA championship, Lynn joked that he doesn’t have Amazing Red to carry him in singles matches. Lynn is also aware that any match could be his last match especially with what has happened recently with Bobby Roode so at TNA63 he will wrestle like it is his last match and Lynn will do whatever it takes to become the new TNA champion. AJ picked up a microphone of his own and told Lynn he appreciates his comments. AJ again brought up Mike Tenay’s comments that AJ’s reign will be either the making or breaking of him and that it is harder to be the hunted than the hunter. AJ agreed with Tenay saying that his reign as TNA champion will be either the making or breaking of him but AJ is determined for it to be the making of him and to make sure that it is AJ is going to be a fighting champion and defend the TNA title against the most deserving and while there are a number of men lining up to challenge AJ, like James Storm, Chris Sabin and many others at this moment in time no more is more deserving than Jerry Lynn. Jerry Lynn was the first man to beat AJ Styles in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling so AJ can not think of a better way to prove himself as champion than by beating Jerry Lynn at TNA63. AJ again offered his hand to Lynn and again Lynn accepted but while they were shaking hands Lynn told AJ that there was only one problem with his plan, he was not going to win. AJ and Lynn stood face to face in the middle of the ring until AJ raised the TNA title above his head then Jerry Lynn respectfully backed away first.
- RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis & Tenay reacted at ringside to the news that Jerry Lynn would challenge AJ Styles for the TNA championship at TNA63. Borash & Tenay agreed it was a great challenge for AJ Styles now he has overcome Christopher Daniels while Don Callis was still outraged that Jerry Lynn was being rewarded for possibly ending the career of Bobby Roode a man Callis claimed would have went on and been a future TNA champion.

- TIME LIMITS| ALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES & MAIN EVENTS HAVE A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT ALL OTHER MATCHES HAVE A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED…
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| FRANKIE KAZARIAN BEAT DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING A BICYCLE KICK| WILLIAMS WAS HELPED FROM RINGSIDE AFTERWARDS… - BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari stopped Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks as they were making their way out for tonight’s opening match. Kazarian told Daivari that last week he proved that Doug Williams beating him at TNA51 was a fluke when he not only beat Williams but also knocked him out cold to the point where Williams had to be helped from ringside. Frankie Kazarian claimed Doug Williams was all hype while Frankie Kazarian the new face of professional wrestling, the ‘New Millennium Wrestler ’ proved he is the real deal…
- MATCH 1| FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS BEAT MATT SYDAL VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS WAVE OF THE FUTURE| Hot way to open the in ring portion of the show. Sydal impressed in his first singles match here in TNA while Kazarian was brimming with confidence following his victory over Doug Williams last week which wasn’t without controversy but Kazarian wouldn’t admit that. Tonight Kazarian didn’t need help from Traci Brooks and picked up the victory after catching Sydal coming off the ropes and spiking him with his Wave of the Future. Frankie Kazarian has now won 6 of his first 7 matches here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling! Mike Tenay noted during the match that Doug Williams has not been cleared to be here tonight following Kazarian’s kick to the head last week.
- RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis and Tenay hyped that later tonight we would see Matt Sydal’s tag team partner Paul London also in action for the first time in a singles match when he takes on Michael Shane. Borash said in TNA most people without question believe that AJ Styles/Low Ki was the match of the year the ones that don’t generally believe that Paul London V Michael Shane was the best match of last year and tonight TNA is giving the fans the rematch!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA58| MAIN EVENT| STING BEAT CHRIS HARRIS VIA SUBMISSION AFTER HARRIS TAPPED OUT TO STING’S SCORPION DEATHLOCK… - BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari was now backstage with Chris Harris moments before Harris’ first match since losing to Sting 3 weeks ago at TNA58. Daivari asked Harris how he was feeling. Harris told Daivari that he was angry, angry with himself at TNA58 – Chris Harris let himself down and he was still finding it hard to come to terms with but now Harris is going to use that anger and disappoint as fuel to push him self even harder. Harris lives and breaths TNA wrestling, dreams of becoming the TNA champion and from now on 100% complete focus is on making that happen…
- MATCH 2| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT KEN ANDERSON VIA PIN FALL| Tonight was a tough match for both men Anderson was facing a Chris Harris determined to put his loss to Sting behind him as soon as possible while Harris was facing Ken Anderson a man who has vowed that he is a changed man, who wants to be a better person but admits that it does not come naturally. The two had a decent match before Harris gained control and it wasn’t long after that Harris put Anderson away following a Spear. Following the match Chris Harris offered his hand to Ken Anderson and Anderson trying to prove that he is a changed man accepted Harris handshake. Chris Harris like a few others has an impressive win ratio but a couple of big victories are what is separating Harris from the likes of Low Ki, Christopher Daniels and TNA champion, AJ Styles.
- BACKSTAGE| Bad Street Boys (Christian York & Joey Matthews) were shown inside of their locker room getting ready for tonight’s Main Event. Alpha Male Enterprise’s locker room door was shown as the TNA tag team champions Elix Skipper & Monty Brown have denied the TNA cameras access to their locker room ahead of tonight’s Main Event.

- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT RATS (KID KASH & YANG) VIA A DISQUALIFICATION FOLLOWING INTERFERENCE FROM BOTH THE BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) & THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)… - RECORDED INTERVIEW| GREATNESS – Austin Aries said last week the entire TNA tag team division paid GREATNESS a back handed compliment, while the Briscoe Brothers & The Naturals may have got involved in their business not one other team were willing to have their back proving in Aries & Strong’s mind that GREATNESS are seen as a threat to everyone in the TNA tag team division. Roderick Strong believes its clear that GREATNESS already have everyone’s attention and so they should because when you’ve been in the ring with Austin Aries & Roderick Strong you know you have been in the ring with… GREATNESS!
- MATCH 3| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) BEAT DELIRIOUS & SHARK BOY| The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) joined the broadcast team for the match and spoke about GREATNESS, saying they do not see Aries & Strong as a threat they just like the Briscoe’s and most other tag teams in the division have just taken exception to two no name rookies from the TNA Wrestling Academy are calling themselves GREATNESS.
Briscoe’s in only their second match since losing to Bad Street Boys despite a few hope spots from Delirious & Shark Boy were always in control of the match and scored the victory following their springboard Doomsday Device. As soon as the match was over GREATNESS were in the ring. Aries smacked Jay Briscoe with a dropkick in the corner while Strong smashed Mark with a Gut Buster immediately followed by an uranage into backbreaker as Aries nailed both The Naturals with a suicide dive. GREATNESS they celebrated in the ring with the fans on their feet as Mike Tenay hyped that GREATNESS are going to be a force within the TNA tag team division!
- GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| CHRIS HERO DEBUTS…AGAIN!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| CHRIS HERO DEBUTED ONLY TO BE INTERUPTED BY ‘THE ICON’ STING WHO CLAIMS HE CAN SEE THROUGH CHRIS HERO AND ALSO TOOK EXCEPTION TO HERO SAYING TNA WAS IN NEED OF A HERO. STING CHALLENGED CHRIS HERO TO MATCH AT TNA64 WHICH CHRIS HERO ACCEPTED. CHRIS HERO’S DEBUT MATCH IS GOING TO BE A PPV MAIN EVENT AGAINST ‘THE ICON’ STING!! - INTERVIEW| Chris Hero made his way out after being introduced by TNA Ring Announcer, David Penzer. Mike Tenay explained that after being interrupted by Sting last week, Chris Hero went to Dusty Rhodes and demanded that he get to debut all over again tonight. Chris Hero did not look happy and after slowly making his way down the aisle he rolled into the ring and took the microphone from Penzer. Hero waited a few seconds before speaking…
First thing Hero did was turn to ask Mike Tenay if he had finished building Hero up to the viewers at home, Hero asked if Tenay has told everyone about Hero travelling the world or being taught by a number of greats Dory Funk, Tracy Smothers, William Regal etc. Hero answered his own question by saying Tenay has probably spent the entire time talking about Sting. Hero looked frustrated. For weeks Hero has been hyping his arrival with video packages, clever video packages in which Hero has informed everyone that very soon TNA would have a new hero to look up too but last week Sting came out and cut his legs from underneath him claiming that he could see right through Chris Hero’s claims. Hero smiled a sly smile and said Sting is right, Chris Hero is scum he would sell his own Mother to further his career but it was none of Sting’s business. Hero then argued his own point and said he was a hero quickly running off the meaning of the word hero, he may not be a hero to the majority in attendance tonight but he is a hero to the scumbags, the villains the sick bastards of the world because Hero is all of them things too which Sting will find out at TNA64 when Chris Hero not only beats Sting in the middle of the ring but puts Sting down for good! Hero said he couldn’t have dreamed for a better in ring debut… Just then Hero was interrupted by the music of ‘The Franchise’ Shane Douglas!
Shane Douglas walked out on to the stage as Tenay & Borash remembered that last week Chris Hero interrupted a meeting between Dusty Rhodes & Douglas to vent about Sting. Chris Hero was fuming in the ring he demanded no interruptions tonight, last week. Douglas joined Hero in the ring with a microphone of his own. Douglas got in Hero’s face who didn’t back down and said last week Chris Hero interrupted him and disrespected him. Douglas reminded Chris Hero that he is a former multi time World champion a great of this business and he’s demanding more respect from a punk like Chris Hero or warned Hero would get his ass franchised! Hero asked why Douglas was so mad, Hero advised Shane Douglas to get out of the ring telling Douglas that he was lucky to even work for TNA but if Douglas doesn’t leave the ring now then Hero may take it all away from Shane Douglas. Douglas slapped Hero before knocking Hero back into the ropes with a number of right hands only for Hero to regroup and drop Douglas to a knee with a kick to the knee then as officials entered the ring Hero kicked the kneeling Douglas right in the side of the head dropping Douglas. Close up of Douglas’ face showed Douglas eyes roll to the back of his head. Officials were demanding Hero leave the ring but Hero ignored them and jumped on Douglas smashing Douglas in the side of the head with a number of hard elbows, repeated shots time and time again. Chris Hero was ruthless as the crowd chanted for Sting; eventually Hero was pulled of Douglas and ordered out of the ring. Officials and paramedics checked on Shane Douglas in the ring as Chris Hero watched from ringside. Fans and commentators were in shock with Chris Hero’s actions and Tenay wondered out loud if Sting knows what he has got himself in for at TNA64!
- GRAPHIC| TNA64| MAIN EVENT| STING V CHRIS HERO! - RINGSIDE| Shane Douglas was being helped from ringside as Borash; Callis & Tenay turned their attention to tonight’s next match the highly anticipated rematch between Paul London & Michael Shane…
- BACKSTAGE| Alexis Laree was leading Michael Shane out for his match with Paul London when Shane looked into the camera and said they’d be no reason for any refunds tonight!
- MATCH 4| MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE BEAT PAUL LONDON| Paul London and Michael Shane did not disappoint, great match. Shane is 2 for 2 in the great match department following his debut match against Chris Sabin a couple of weeks back. Fans were on the edge of their seats throughout the match. Both men came close to victory on a couple of occasions but in the end Shane took the win after London missed his 450 splash and knocked himself out in the process allowing Shane to crawl over and cover London for the 3 count. Paul London was checked over following the match but seemed fine as Alexis Laree dragged Michael Shane back up the aisle. Michael Shane may have a bad attitude but it’s clear to see he’s a talented man with a bright future ahead of him here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling.
- EARLIER TONIGHT| DUSTY RHODES ANNOUNCED THAT AT TNA63 IN 2 WEEKS, AJ STYLES WOULD DEFEND HIS TNA TITLE AGAINST JERRY LYNN!
- GRAPHIC| 17.09.03| TNA63| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES V JERRY LYNN!
- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA62| ‘FALLEN ANGEL’ CHRISTOPHER DANIELS RETURNS!
- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| ABYSS BEAT BG JAMES VIA PIN FALL| FOLLOWING THE MATCH ABYSS COTINUED THE ATTACK ON BG JAMES UNTIL RON KILLINGS RAN OUT TO PROTECT HIS FRIEND, ONLY FOR ABYSS TO THEN LEAVE KILLINGS LAYING AT RINGSIDE… - BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Ron Killings told Shawn Daivari that tonight he was ready to bring the nasty and whoop Abyss’ ass but before Killings could go any further he was interrupted by his former tag team partner, BG James. BG thanked Ron Killings for coming to help him last week but tonight Killings’ he doesn’t need his protection, telling Killings that he made the decision for them to go their separate ways so now BG James’s business and is BG’s business and Killings’ business is Killings’ business. BG James finished by wishing Ron Killings good luck in his match against Abyss…
- MATCH 5| ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL BEAT RON KILLINGS VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS BLACK HOLE SLAM Good match and Ron Killings proved to be a decent test for Abyss ahead of ‘The Monsters’ match with James Storm next week. Killings put up a fight and continued to show why he is rated so highly but in the end Abyss scored the victory following a Shock Treatment and Black Hole slam combination. Following the match it seemed Jim Mitchell was ordering Abyss to hurt Ron Killings some more when their plans were interrupted by James Storm…
‘Tennessee Cowboy’ walked out on to the stage with a microphone in hand. Fans were on their feet for their hometown hero. Storm brought up Jim Mitchell asking the question if Abyss has lost his fear factor since tapping out to Low Ki. Abyss didn’t like being reminded of tapping out. Storm joked that no one should fear Abyss because he is clearly just a man with Daddy issues. Storm quickly cut off the jokes and got serious reminding Mitchell the reason he challenged Abyss in the first place is because Storm is hunting that one big win to leave no doubts that he should be next in line for a shot at the TNA championship. Storm admitted he’s taking a big risk going after Abyss because Abyss is everything Mitchell claims he is a monster, a destroyer he shows no remorse he has a black heart and he’s angry but Storm will catch his prey. Storm told Abyss he’s looking forward to fighting him next week and warned Abyss if he didn’t like tapping out he’s going to hate being knocked out. Storm finished by agreeing with Jim Mitchell that he brought all of this on himself and next week he will have no excuses he will either end up in a hospital bed or he could be in line for a shot at the TNA title and Storm wouldn’t have it any other way.
- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA62| MAIN EVENT| NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH| JAMES STORM V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL! - TNA NEWS| Don West only had a short bit of news tonight which was that Bobby Roode was scheduled to be here tonight to give everyone an update on his condition plus to clear up the rumours that Bobby Roode is thinking about suing Jerry Lynn and or TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling but earlier this week Roode’s lawyer got in touch with TNA management to pull the plug on the interview claiming that Bobby Roode has no comments at this time.
- UPCOMING| TNA62| MAIN EVENT - NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH| JAMES STORM V ABYSS W, JIM MITCHELL. TNA63| MAIN EVENT – TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES V JERRY LYNN. TNA64| MAIN EVENT – STING V CHRIS HERO. - BACKSTAGE| TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) were shown leaving their locker room backstage. Monty Brown was heard telling Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown not to screw up tonight before Elix Skipper looked into the camera and told Bad Street Boys there would be no happy ending here tonight!
- BACKSTAGE| A number of tag teams Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe), GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong), The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens), and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) as well as BG James and Ron Killings separately were all around monitors somewhere backstage ready to watch tonight’s Main Event for the TNA tag team titles…
- VIDEO PACKAGE|LOOKING AT THE DOMINANCE OF TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) AND THE RISE OF TOP CONTENDERS BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) WHICH HAS LED TO TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT FOR THE TNA TAG TEAM TITLES…
- STATS| GOING INTO TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT BOTH TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE & BAD STREET BOYS HAVE WON THEIR LAST 5 MATCHES. - MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS)| Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown was not out at ringside with the TNA tag team champions tonight but the rest of Alpha Male Security was…
Christian York & Joey Matthews looked a little nervous before the bell knowing this was their opportunity an opportunity they have earned but know may not come round again.
Really good match with the underdogs Matthews & York bringing the fight to the champions, AME. Fans were hoping for a title change tonight. York scored an unbelievable near fall on Monty Brown after Matthews dropped Brown with an electric chair and York immediately hit Brown with an elbow drop from the top but Brown at the last second kicked out. The near fall brought out Banks & D’Lo as Banks got on the ring apron D’Lo rolled into the ring but BSB seen him coming and planted D’Lo with their Hangman DDT only for Skipper to knock York from the ring and while Matthews quickly took care of Skipper he turned into the Pounce from Monty Brown! Brown ran straight threw the distracted Matthews and then covered him for the victory thanks to the distraction caused by Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown. RESULT| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) BEAT BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN THE TNA TAG TEAM TITLES
Once again Alpha Male Enterprise retains the TNA tag team titles thanks to their numbers advantage and outside interference. Joey Matthews rolled out of the ring; Christian York was there to check on his partner. Bad Street Boys can feel hard done by tonight knowing that if it wasn’t for the distraction caused by Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown then tonight we may have become the new TNA tag team champions but their opportunity will come again.
Elix Skipper snatched the TNA tag team titles from the match official before handing one other to Monty Brown they embraced but ignored Antonio Banks and the hurt D’Lo Brown’s celebration. Elix Skipper & Monty Brown continued to celebrate in the aisle away from Banks & Brown as Mike Tenay said Alpha Male Enterprise may have snuck away with the TNA tag team titles tonight but their seems to be problems growing within the Alpha Male Enterprise brand. TNA61 went off the air with Elix Skipper & Monty Brown holding their TNA tag team titles on the stage while Bad Street Boys watched on from ringside angry and Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown watched on from the ring confused.

TNA Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 3rd September 2003...Well done, revised layout to the write-up for this show. Everything looks a lot neater than it did. The focus of the show is the TNA World Tag Team Championship main event, and I like that emphasis, it's been built up for quite a while. The recorded interview gave it a very ESPN-feel to the product, and I like that angle. A decent opening promo to the show, and it's interesting that Dusty Rhodes has lined up the next contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship already. AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn had some classic matches in the first year of TNA, and though I can't see Lynn winning the match, I see it being another step in the ladder of building AJ Styles up as something big. Frankie Kazarian defeating Matt Sydal was a solid win for Kazarian, and it should be interesting to see how Doug Williams reacts to Kazarian's comments prior to the match. Chris Harris' character is very strange to me right now, given his loss to Sting previously, it's like being in purgatory between main eventing and being in big money matches. A win against Ken Anderson helped it out, but it's strange to see him maintain a face character. More build for the main event, I like these little touches. They really make the main event feel big. The Briscoe Brothers defeating Delirious and Shark Boy made sense, but I'm sure it will all come to a head when Austin Aries and Roderick Strong get a chance to get in there with Mark and Jay. I suspect Aries and Strong will go over in their first big match as a tag team on the TNA roster. Chris Hero debuts again? Haha.I'm not sure about having Sting face Chris Hero with Hero still being extremely new in TNA, and not being established as a character yet. It would really damage Sting's credibility for Hero to win against him - but it would flatline Hero's rookie career with TNA to take such a big loss like that. Haha, Shane Douglas interrupting is humourous. This makeshift feud with Hero and Douglas could be what Hero needs - but Chris needs a lot more to be on a remotely similar level to the much bigger star Sting. Michael Shane with a win against Paul London was fine, in a decent match. It's nice to see little cameos from stars such as London and whatnot. Abyss with a win against Ron Killings heightened his momentum going into the match with James Storm, and the angle afterwards additionally promoted it fine. I can't really get behind Storm as a solo competitor, though. Not at this stage in his career. I'm wondering whether Bobby Roode will get involved with Jerry Lynn's upcoming TNA World Heavyweight Championship - that may have given your future big match a spoiler. And finally, another big defense of the TNA World Tag Team Championships by Elix Skipper and Monty Brown against Christian York and Joey Matthews. Overall, a pretty average edition this week. It was all very acceptable - just nothing newsworthy for the main part, nothing that special or interesting.

- VIDEO PACKAGE| Hyping tonight’s Main Event between the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm and ‘The Monster’ Abyss. James Storm after impressing at TNA50| Coming of Age by leading Team TNA to victory over Extreme Revolution was unlucky to miss out on being named the top contender to the TNA title. James Storm decided that he needed one big win to leave no doubts that he should be next in line for a shot at the TNA title so James Storm challenged the biggest, meanest, scariest most deranged man in wrestling today ‘The Monster’ Abyss the same man who has possibly ended the career of former TNA champion, Low Ki but Storm’s challenge was laughed of by the only man Abyss cares for the evil Jim Mitchell so Storm knocked Mitchell out with his Super kick! Tonight James Storm takes a huge risk in his quest to earn a shot at the TNA title when he takes on Abyss in a No Disqualification match!

BSB showed last week they belong and very soon they will get another shot at the TNA titles even if it means starting at the bottom again and working their way back to the top but next time they will become the new TNA tag team champions.
- MATCH 1| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) BEAT DELIRIOUS & SHARK BOY VIA PIN FALL| Matthews & York showed no ill effects from last weeks close but heartbreaking loss and impressed on their way to victory over the popular masked team of Shark Boy & Delirious.

- HIGHLIGHTS| TNA60| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES BEAT CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS STYLES CLASH! - INTERVIEW| Jeremy Borash now standing in the middle of the ring asked the fans to welcome the first ever TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. Daniels stepped out on to the stage not in usual suite but trousers a dark t shirt and was unshaven clearly distraught at failing to regain the TNA championship two weeks ago. Daniels joined Borash in the ring and Borash began to ask Daniels his first question when Daniels put his finger over JB’s mouth before shaking his head no. Daniels took the microphone and pointed for Borash to leave the ring.
Daniels said he knows the fans in the building, the people watching at home and everyone in this business love the fact that Christopher Daniels failed to regain his TNA championship and is now out of the TNA title picture. Daniels bit his knuckles then kicked the ring ropes before vowing to everyone that very soon he will get his opportunity and he only needs one opportunity to once again to get his hands on what belongs to him the TNA title and when he does Daniels’ promises that he will once again reign as the TNA champion and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!! Daniels dropped his microphone in the middle of the ring and stared down the hard camera for a few extra seconds before exiting the ring. Daniels headed up the aisle but stopped to look into the camera one more time and repeat he only needs one opportunity.

Harris who is still coming to terms with his loss to Sting a few weeks back was more aggressive than normal before putting Eckos away early by making Eckos tap out to his Texas Cloverleaf. Chris Harris is focused on one thing only and that is becoming the TNA champion. Mike Tenay noted that Harris has been through a lot this last year with tough losses to Christopher Daniels and Sting, plus Harris recently has had his character questioned plus Harris is still coming to terms with the loss of his mentor Curt Hennig. Tenay believes that once Chris Harris finally gets that one big win there will be nothing stopping Chris Harris from dominating TNA for many years.
- BACKSTAGE| James Storm was shown entering his locker room earlier today taking a deep breath while placing down his bags as Mike Tenay noted that James Storm has gambled it all on facing Abyss tonight. Storm wins without question he should be next in line for a shot at the TNA title but if Storm loses he could end up in the hospital bed next to Low Ki like Jim Mitchell predicted.

AJ wants to be a fighting champion, he wants to take on all comers face the most deserving and at this time Jerry Lynn is the most deserving. Jerry Lynn will do whatever it takes next week to make history and become the new TNA champion. Lynn admitted people probably see this as a routine victory for AJ Styles but next week Lynn repeated that he would do what ever it takes to become the new TNA champion. The Interviewer asked Jerry Lynn if that meant he would spike AJ Styles with his Cradle pile driver the same move which has broken the neck of Bobby Roode… AJ said as much as he respects Jerry Lynn next week the honest truth is AJ has to beat Jerry Lynn anything else would be seen as a failure and while it would be a great fairy tale ending for Lynn to become the TNA champ it would be a disaster for him and AJ has not come this far just to fail so next week. AJ admitted the only thing he is afraid of is failure and next week he will not fail. Jerry Lynn answered the question would he use the Cradle Pile driver to beat AJ Styles and win the TNA title… Yes!
- RINGSIDE| Mike Tenay and Jeremy Borash were both excited about next weeks Main Event only for Don Callis to interrupt them and claim Jerry Lynn is a sick man who is showing no remorse for injuring and possibly ending the career of Bobby Roode and is willing to do the same to the TNA champion, AJ Styles next week!

Naturals and Briscoe Brothers once again working together to take down Austin Aries and Roderick Strong and they circled GREATNESS looking to inflict more damage as Tenay noted again that no team was coming to the defence of Aries & Strong only for Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) to run out to a huge ovation. Naturals ran at Zero Gravity only London & Sydal to dump them from the ring. Zero Gravity stood and faced off with the Briscoe’s only for Jay & Mark to drop and roll out of the ring. As Zero Gravity watched the Briscoe’s walk around the ring GREATNESS got back to their feet behind Zero Gravity. Fans were on their feet at the thought of GREATNESS & Zero Gravity going at it one day but not tonight as GREATNESS nodded their head in acknowledgement of Zero Gravity saving them tonight but if either team wants to be next in line for the TNA tag team titles they know one day soon they will face one another.

- INTERVIEW| TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) were in the ring alongside Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown while Alpha Male Security was outside surrounding the ring. Brown had a microphone as Skipper showed off the TNA tag team titles. Monty Brown started off by reminding the fans of who the TNA tag team champions were which proved without question that not only are Alpha Male Enterprise the greatest tag team in the world but also the biggest brand in the world. Brown repeated the line that he and the rest of AME are not friends they understand it’s all business and they understand that sometimes Monty Brown has to make tough decisions to make sure AME remains the biggest more dominant brand in the world. Brown turned to Banks & D’Lo and said he took a chance on them he gave them an opportunity when no body else would he took Banks from a jail cell and gave him a second chance while he took D’Lo Brown from depression and gave D’Lo everything that he should have always had but Banks and D’Lo have not stepped up and they have let AME down they are clearly the weak links and last week they almost cost him and Elix Skipper the TNA tag team titles. Brown told the two of them they had one last chance to impress or they would be out. Next week Brown revealed that he and Elix Skipper would face Antonio Banks and D’Lo Brown in a Non-Title match and Brown wants them to step up and prove they belong to be apart of Alpha Male Enterprise because if they don’t step up, next week they will be destroyed! Antonio Banks and D’Lo both looked shocked. Brown finished by telling them that Alpha Male Enterprise will go on forever either with or without Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown. Monty Brown & Elix Skipper along with Alpha Male Security left Antonio and D’Lo in the ring alone as it sunk in that next week both Antonio Banks and D’Lo Brown could be fighting for their futures when they take on TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown in a Non-Title match!

- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA63| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES V JERRY LYNN! - RECORDED INTERVIEW| In a dark corridor somewhere in the building Jim Mitchell stood next to ‘The Monster’ Abyss to remind James Storm that he asked for all of this which is bad enough but Storm also decided to make it personal by knocking Mitchell out with his Super kick. Mitchell again brought up the fact that everyone seems to have forgotten just how evil Abyss is but tonight Abyss reminds everyone once again when he ends the career of another one of the fans favourites just like he did to Low Ki.
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| James Storm told Shawn Daivari that he’s aware that he asked for this match tonight he knows that he made it personal and he likes the fact that he has pissed off ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Storm admitted that tonight he is taking a huge risk, a huge gamble but Storm is all in because that’s how much becoming the TNA champion means to him and tonight Storm will have no excuses!
- MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH| JAMES STORM V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL! James Storm’s home town crowd were right behind their ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ who brought the fight to ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Storm won the only other No Disqualification match back at TNA12 a little over one year ago.
Storm and Abyss fought in the ring, at ringside up the aisle and even in the crowd at one point. Abyss started to dominate the match and started taking apart Storm with the ring steps being his weapon of choice and after running the steps into Storm’s face Abyss set up a table at ringside. Abyss ended the career of Sabu and injured Low Ki by press slamming them from the ring through a table at ringside and Abyss wanted to do the same to James Storm. Abyss lifted Storm over his head and walked towards the ropes only for Storm to get behind Abyss and surprise Abyss with his Super kick which brought the fans to their feet but Abyss fell into the ropes and stayed on his feet so Storm dropped Abyss with a second Super kick but Abyss rolled out on to the ring apron. Storm with the crowd behind him begged Abyss to get back to his feet and when Abyss did Storm nailed Abyss with a third Super kick knocking Abyss from the ring apron and through the table at ringside!! Fans were on their feet as Abyss lay motionless with Jim Mitchell screaming at Abyss to get up, Storm was on his back in the ring exhausted and beat up from a gruelling match against Abyss. The only thing saving Abyss from defeat here was that Abyss was outside of the ring…
Abyss came back into the match and after taking Storm down with a choke slam in the ring Abyss emptied a bag of tacks in the ring only for Storm to kick Abyss in between the legs and then tackle Abyss through a table in the corner smashing it to pieces and while Abyss was sent through the table it seemed Storm came off the worst because he was rolling around his agony clutching at his left arm and elbow. Storm managed to roll on top of Abyss for the cover but Abyss at the last second kicked out but all Storm could now concentrate on was his left arm. Jim Mitchell passed Abyss a Singapore cane which Abyss then broke over Storm’s left arm dropping Storm, Abyss then pulled Storm up by his left arm before nailing Storm with his Black Hole Slam onto the tacks. Abyss then covered the injured Storm for the hard fought victory.
RESULT| ABYSS BEAT JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL James Storm was hurt. Abyss slowly got to his feet where he had his hand raised in victory by Jim Mitchell. Abyss didn’t seem to be done with Storm but the match official who was down checking on Storm tried protecting Storm as Mitchell called Abyss off saying Storm would never forgot tonight and will learn from his mistakes.
At ringside as Jim Mitchell warned everyone that they should be scared of ‘The Monster’ Abyss because no man is safe! While in the ring paramedics were checking on the condition of James Storm who admitted he gambled tonight took a risk looking to earn that one big win to push him to the next level and because of injury the gamble did not pay off tonight.
TNA62 went off the air with Jim Mitchell and the victor ‘The Monster’ Abyss standing tall on the stage, no one in TNA is safe from ‘The Monster’ Abyss.

TNA62. The Bad Street Boys winning the opening contest is for the best as Delirious and Shark Boy aren't comparable to them, honestly. Solid promo from Christopher Daniels. I wonder what is in the future for him. Moving on, Chris Harris beating Robbie Eckos was obvious. AJ styles versus Jerry Lynn next week will certainly be interesting. A good recorded interview segment from both AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn to build that up. Chris Sabin beating Amazing Red I'm fine with, could have gone either way but I do see why Sabin won as you are building him up. Greatness versus The Naturals would be a good contest, and The Briscoe Brothers ruin it. What jerks! Zero Gravity coming out as well! Crazy tag team scenario going on, it is a very strong division. Roddy Piper next week should be good. Michael Shane beating BG James, another not surprising result from this year with James going on a downward slope this year. The Alpha Male Express with a decent promo here. I see Banks and Brown getting the win in a non-title match, but losing when it counts. Finally, a strong no disqualifications main event with Abyss getting the win with the Black Hole Slam onto the tacks. ECW! ECW! I mean, TNA! TNA! A solid TNA62 event.

allright man, good job with all the TNA 60, 61, 62. Nice way to have AJ Styles stay champion and letting Sting have some nice feuds with Chris Hero. The Abyss/Storm match is still red hot, I just wonder who is going to stop this giant named Abyss. And even the X-Division is very much hotter.
Note: WWF 1994 Octoberfest is now up.

First off, I think the new layout you're using is nice but the font kind of throws me off. Or maybe it's the small font size? Anyway, York and Matthews getting the win in the opener is fine. Despite their loss to Monty and Skipper last week, I fully expect them to get another shot and finally win the gold. You're portraying Daniels well. Looking forward to seeing what's next. I'm liking the slow build to Harris potentially being a serious challenger for the TNA Championship. I like how you've had him overcome things like Hennig passing, plus losing to Sting, yet he continues to look strong. Sabin/Red is a huge match. I like the little notes you make prior to matches, noting their win percentages, etc. The tag division is amazing and GREATNESS/Naturals post-match done nothing but prove that. Zero Gravity/GREATNESS will be a great feud/match whenever it happens. Decent win for Shane over BG. Monty and Elix kicking Antonio and D'Lo out of Alpha Male Enterprises was gonna happen sooner or later. A potential feud between them could be good, however, I seriously hope Antonio and D'Lo aren't the ones to take the titles--given if they even win next week and remain on the roster. I actually expected Storm to win here, although Abyss winning is just as good. Both men looked strong coming out of it.

Shane said a couple of weeks ago all of his fans were outraged that he was not competing and demanded refunds to the point that TNA can not afford not to have Michael Shane not compete on their shows but Shane is demanding more. Michael Shane is wrestling royalty he is above wrestling freaks in the opening match so Shane needs his fans to speak up again and let TNA hear their voices that they want Michael Shane to be in all future Main Events and to receive the next shot at the TNA title…
- MATCH 1| MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE BEAT DELIRIOUS VIA PIN FALL| Entertaining, fast paced but short opening match which saw Michael Shane score his most dominant victory to date after catching Delirious with a Super kick before finishing Delirious off with a leg hooked Saito supflex. Alexis Laree and Michael Shane were all over one another after the bell but Shane still had time to make some comments into the camera about how impressive he was. Michael Shane has won 3 of his first 4 matches here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling.
- BACKSTAGE| Jerry Lynn the top contender to the TNA title and one half of the first ever TNA tag team champions was shown arriving at the arena where he was met first by his partner Amazing Red and then Don West trying to get some exclusive comments from Lynn but Lynn just shook West’s hand and made his way into his locker room.

Daivari asked Storm for an update on his condition and how he was feeling after coming up short last week against ‘The Monster’ Abyss. Storm told Daivari not to worry about his arm, Storm could go over the if’s and buts of last weeks match but Storm said it last week he went all in he gambled it all and he lost and Storm will make no excuses all Storm can promise to do is come back stronger next time and that’s exactly what Storm promises to do.
- RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about James Storm’s performance last week and said Storm had a lot to take from his match last week and JB claimed that Storm beat up Abyss like no man has ever done before even though Abyss ended up coming away with the victory. Callis said he knows Jim Mitchell well and now Mitchell will have his eyes on tonight’s Main Event between AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn for the TNA championship. They then turned their attention to the TNA tag team division the greatest tag team division wrestling today, they spoke about the quality in the top contenders to the TNA titles and how Bad Street Boys, Briscoe Brothers, GREATNESS, The Naturals and Zero Gravity all believe they are next in line for a shot at the TNA tag team titles.
- HIGHLIGHTS| LAST WEEK| TNA62| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) BEAT THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) VIA DISQUALIFICATION – Following the match a brawl broke out also involving the Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) and Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) which ended with a face off between GREATNESS & Zero Gravity…
- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA64| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)!
- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA64| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE)! - RECORDED INTERVIEW| RATS (Rebel Against the System) – Kid Kash with YANG standing beside him said what bonded him and YANG to begin with was that they were two men unhappy with their position within the company they believed that they were better than they were being treated so they decided to rebel against the system. Over the last couple of weeks they have watched as the TNA tag team division has peaked teams like Zero Gravity, Briscoe’s and GREATNESS have stepped up. Kash stopped talking as YANG took over and said its simple really it’s their turn to step up and show they are as good as they know they are because they are better than any other team in TNA and tonight they are going to start to prove it…
- MATCH 2| RATS (KID KASH & YANG) BEAT SMOOTH STALLIONS (MAMALUKE & ROMEO)| RATS impressed tonight looking rougher and tougher than they have in a long time. Smooth Stallions tried their best to get into the match but again they failed to impress and in the end YANG took out Mamaluke with a dive over the top rope which allowed Kash to spike Romeo with a Brain buster for the victory. A focused Kid Kash and YANG are a threat to every team in the TNA tag team division and they are capable of turning the entire division on its head now they are not feeling sorry for themselves.
- BACKSTAGE| Dusty Rhodes the on screen representative of TNA management was shown having a conversation with the man he replaced as the onscreen representative of TNA management, Rowdy Roddy Piper who has invited Chris Hero to be a guest on Piper’s Pit later tonight.

- MATCH 3| FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS BEAT KEN ANDERSON VIA DISQUALIFICATION| Good match between two hot prospects. Kazarian full of confidence coming into the match with 6 wins in his first 7 matches while Anderson seemed hell bent on stopping Kazarian becoming the man with the highest over all win rate in TNA. Kazarian had Anderson lined up for the same Bicycle kick which beat Doug Williams but Anderson avoided the move and lifted Kazarian over his shoulders for the Green Bay plunge but Kazarian managed to escape only for Doug William to run into the ring and tackle Kazarian to the mat much to the shock of Ken Anderson. Official had no choice in calling for the bell…
Williams laid into Kazarian until Kazarian managed to slither out of the ring. Williams’ hungry for revenge and couldn’t resist getting his hands on Frankie Kazarian tonight costing Ken Anderson his match in the process. Traci Brooks dragged Frankie up the aisle as it was announced that Frankie Kazarian was the winner of the match meaning Kazarian was now has the highest over all win rate in TNA with 88% and the irony is it was because of Doug Williams’ interference. Doug Williams still wanted to get his hands on Frankie Kazarian as Ken Anderson looked livid while staring at Doug Williams from outside of the ring.
- TNA NEWS| Don West with the latest TNA News West had an update on Ken Anderson’s recent change of attitude. West said while he doesn’t doubt Anderson’s motives and it’s not his place to judge what is being reported is that TNA management have demanded a change in attitude from Ken Anderson. Anderson who only debuted in November/December has already been suspended twice and has been warned about his future conduct with TNA management prepared to release Anderson from his contract if he screws up again.
Don West also had an update on the situation involving TNA management, Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode. Roode suffered a neck injury at the hands of Lynn a few weeks back and since then Roode has threatened to sue both Jerry Lynn and TNA management. Roode has refused to publicly comment on the situation but West’s sources claim that Roode is furious that Lynn has been rewarded with a shot at the TNA championship. West also understands that TNA management have asked Jerry Lynn to apologise publicly to Roode but Lynn has said once he has challenged for the TNA title he will address the Bobby Roode situation again.
- BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari was with Doug Williams who was still pacing around in anger after trying to get his hands on Frankie Kazarian. Williams went to speak when he was confronted by Ken Anderson asking what Williams was playing at. Williams said he seen Kazarian setting up for his kick so he thought the match was almost done. Anderson took exception to Williams’ comment and said just because Williams got clocked by that kick didn’t mean he would too. Williams snapped back and told Anderson he was not in the mood for this and aggressively asked Anderson if they had a problem, Anderson biting his tongue begrudgingly told Doug Williams they didn’t have a problem.
- BACKSTAGE| TNA champion, AJ Styles was shown changed ready for tonight’s Main Event when JB noticed that playing on one of the monitors in AJ’s room was the match where Jerry Lynn beat AJ Styles back at TNA08.
- VIDEO| A number of the most memorable moments in the first year plus of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling aired including Christopher Daniels becoming the first ever TNA champion, Elix Skipper’s hurrican-rona from the top of the steel cage and the debut of Sting before a message appeared on the screen… TNA Wrestling – SPREAD THE WORD!
- GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA64| MAIN EVENT| STING V CHRIS HERO! - PIPERS PIT| Rowdy Roddy Piper was standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand receiving a standing ovation from the fans in attendance. Piper thanked the fans but said tonight he wants to get down to business because he is excited about speaking to tonight’s guest Chris Hero. Piper told the fans that a lot has changed since he was last here and the biggest surprise to him was the debut of one of the biggest names in the history of the wrestling business former multiple time World champion a true gentleman ‘The Icon’ Sting but next week Sting will step into the ring against the unknown against newcomer Chris Hero and right now Piper wants Hero to come on out so Piper can get to know Hero a little better…
Chris Hero stepped out on to the stage before slowly making his way down the aisle not taking his eyes of Piper the entire way as Mike Tenay reminded everyone that Chris Hero brutally assaulted Shane Douglas two weeks ago. Hero joined Piper in the ring and picked up a microphone but Piper told him not to talk yet. Piper stepped up to Hero and was trying to look inside the eyes of Chris Hero.
Piper told Hero he was going to ask him if he was ready to face one of the greatest off all time in Sting next week but Piper can tell by looking in Hero’s eyes by the aura coming from Hero and the fact that his blood has run cold since Hero stepped in the ring that Piper doesn’t need to ask Hero that question. Piper said he has done some revision on Hero and everyone over the last few weeks has heard about Hero’s training but Piper has managed to find out some of the darker nastier stories that get kept behind closed doors but Piper warned that what Hero did to Shane Douglas a couple of weeks back is just the tip of the iceberg, Piper warned the fans that Chris Hero is a cold human being. Hero had enough of what Piper was saying and turned to leave the ring when Piper grabbed Hero by the arm and forcefully spun Hero back around. Piper told Hero he wasn’t done talking but with that Hero slapped Piper’s microphone out of his hand and then told Piper he disagrees Piper is done talking.
Hero put his hand on Piper’s shoulder and told Piper he used to be one of Chris Hero’s heroes, Hero used to love watching Piper because Piper was the nastiest bastard going, lived by his own rules was an outlaw but Piper got older and became soft and now Piper is just an annoying voice that Hero is sick and tired of listening too. Hero told Piper that next week Sting is just the name of his first victim, Hero doesn’t see a list of achievements when he looks at Sting he just sees a man a man that Hero is going to hurt and beat in the middle of the ring and to prove that Hero doesn’t care about past achievements and to prove unlike Piper, he would never go soft Hero was about to smash Piper’s skull against the mat. Hero laughed to himself and told Piper it would hurt the kid inside of him much more than it was going to hurt Piper. Hero backed Piper into the corner only for the lights to go out in the arena then Sting’s music and lights hit which gave Piper time to get out of the ring a furious Hero paced around the ring looking for Sting when a message appeared on the big screen in the arena…. NEXT WEEK… TNA64… IT’S SHOWTIME!!
- VIDEO| AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Harris, James Storm, Zero Gravity, Bad Street Boys, Chris Sabin, Alpha Male Enterprise, Jerry Lynn, Amazing Red and Sting all separately repeated the same line… SPREAD THE WORD! – TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling… Spread the Word!!
- MATCH 4| RON KILLINGS BEAT JIMMY RAVE W. ODB VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS AXE KICK| Killings put his defeat to Abyss behind him and returned to winning ways over Rave who is another who needs to up his game quick. Killings took the victory after smashing Rave with his Axe kick. ODB checked on her best friend Jimmy Rave following the match as Killings celebrated another victory, Ron Killings is definitely achieving more success in the TNA title division than his friend and former partner BG James who has not won a match since their team broke up while Killings has won all but one of his matches since the split.
- COMMENTARY| Mike Tenay exclusively revealed during the match that next week Ron Killings would face the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels!
- BACKSTAGE| Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown were shown making their way from their locker room looking nervous ahead of their match against fellow Alpha Male Enterprise members and TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown knowing that their future could depend on the outcome of this match…
- MATCH 5| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) BEAT ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & D’LO BROWN)| D’Lo Brown seemed hesitant to really unload on either Monty Brown or Elix Skipper which allowed the two of them to taunt and showcase themselves of Brown, embarrassing Brown in the process. Antonio Banks finally stepped up and snapped and forgot they were all team mates and really brought the fight to both Brown & Skipper which then gave Brown more confidence to do the same and Banks had the fans right behind him. Banks started to dominate the match and really had AME on the ropes unlike any other team previously and had a kneeled Brown set up for a running boot to the face only for Brown to get his hands up and beg Banks to stop which stopped Banks in his tracks and confused the rookie Banks as it allowed Elix Skipper to roll Banks up for the 3 count.
Following the match the TNA tag team champions were quickly out of the ring both Elix Skipper & Monty Brown hurting a lot more than they would have expected going into tonight’s match. Antonio Banks was upset with the loss in the ring as Mike Tenay wondered what this meant for Antonio Banks and D’Lo Brown and their futures with Alpha Male Enterprise. Antonio Banks impressed tonight even in defeat stepping up and almost leading him and D’Lo Brown to victory over the TNA tag team champions.

- GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES V JERRY LYNN! - BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| TNA champion, AJ Styles spoke with Shawn Daivari ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Daivari asked AJ if he was ready for everything Jerry Lynn was going to throw at him tonight even if that includes Lynn’s Cradle pile driver. AJ said there is a risk of injury every time they step inside the ring and AJ knows and respects Lynn enough to know that Jerry Lynn is coming for the TNA title and not to end his career but AJ warned Lynn that he would have to end his career if he wants to take the TNA title from him…
- MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP © AJ STYLES V JERRY LYNN| Jerry Lynn was making his way to the ring when Lynn was jumped at ringside by a man from the crowd, the man managed to take Lynn down and land a few right hands before TNA security pulled the man off Lynn. The man who was bigger than Lynn had bleached blonde hair was dragged away by security screaming that’s for Bobby repeatedly as Mike Tenay was trying to identify the man. Jerry Lynn was shook up at ringside but after speaking with paramedics and the match official Jerry Lynn wanted to go ahead with the match knowing this may be his last shot at the TNA championship.
The match went ahead and Lynn and AJ had a great match, both men previously hold a victory over the other. Lynn has beaten AJ with his TKO and AJ has pinned Lynn following his springboard 450 splash.
Lynn didn’t show any ill effects from being jumped by the man before the match who Jeremy Borash identified as TNA Wrestling Academies Eric Young who is a childhood friend of Bobby Roode but is also known to be a bit of a loose cannon.
AJ planted Lynn with a neck breaker before attempting a springboard 450 splash only for Lynn to get his knees up causing AJ to crash hard and Lynn quickly planted AJ with his TKO but right at the last second AJ kicked out, Lynn couldn’t have got any closer to becoming the new TNA champion. Jerry Lynn was in shock and AJ took advantage of that by rocking Lynn with his Pele kick which AJ followed up with a standing heel kick followed by a brain buster before finally putting Lynn away with his Styles Clash.
RESULT| AJ STYLES BEAT JERRY LYNN VIA PIN FALL TO RETAIN THE TNA CHAMPIONSHIP AJ Styles was slow to his feet afterwards. AJ was handed his TNA title and had his hand lifted in victory while the beaten Jerry Lynn rolled out of the ring. Mike Tenay praised the efforts of both men but credited AJ in showing a champion’s heart to dig down deep to retain the TNA title.
AJ dropped to his knees in the middle of the ring clutching his ribs possibly injured from when Lynn got his knees up from the springboard 450 splash. While AJ was down on his knees a man made his way to ringside behind AJ through the crowd, the man was wearing a hood so you couldn’t see who it was but then he pulled the hood down… CM Punk was at ringside before casually rolling into the ring behind AJ Styles. AJ felt something behind him so he jumped up and turned around only to spiked with an Even flow DDT from CM Punk!
CM Punk has laid out the TNA champion, AJ Styles. CM Punk casually just sat next to AJ Styles fallen body as Mike Tenay wondered whether CM Punk’s suspension was even up after his heinous attack on Raven a month ago. Mike Tenay said hopefully we would get answers next week as TNA63 went off the air with CM Punk still sitting beside the fallen body of the TNA champion, AJ Styles!

Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling: Wednesday 10th September 2003...A nice little video with Christian York and Joey Matthews, capturing their loss last week to the TNA World Tag Team Champions. I hope that their chase continues, it would make for a great story if this is just one step in a long series as opposed to this being end of the line and onto other things for this young tag team. A decent win by York and Matthews following to get some momentum back is fine, but what role does Delirious and Shark Boy actually play? I would like to see more segments with these two, give us a reason to get behind them rather than make it predictable. Additionally, are they face or heel? At the minute they are one dimensional and very very lacking in identities. Christopher Daniels being distraught over losing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is a fun angles. What would be a cool direction to take with Daniels' character from here is if he morphs into a deluded, deranged character with a crazy downside all because of the TNA gold. Hah, Robbie Eckos. A decent win for Chris Harris, though I don't really know where his character is going. He seems to be just be drifting around after losing to Sting however long ago that was. A nice interview segment with Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles setting up the TNA World Heavyweight Championship main event scheduled for next week. It's great to see these SportsCenter-esque segments build up to main events, but they get really repetitive. Try to mix things up a bit in future. Also what I feel would draw even more attention to this diary would be long-term story arcs. Everything's pretty short-term in this diary, taking place after a few weeks and all. A storyline taking place over the period of several months would be doable, especially with how you book your shows and not giving away too much on an individual episode. Chris Sabin and the Amazing Red had some solid matches in the early days of TNA as I recall. This probably wouldn't have been any exception. The right man won, with Sabin having a lot more potential star value. He's a future TNA World Heavyweight Champion in my mind. I see you are building up Austin Aries and Roderick Strong progressively to the TNA World Tag Team Championships in the near future, but like I said before, I hope Matthews and York get to them first. I don't recall ever seeing a disqualification in this diary, huh. Do you have that dumb rule in place where if you lose by disqualification in a championship match that you lose the championship as well? Hypothetically speaking. The Naturals here are young, and I hope you use them well, was always a fan of Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas. The Briscoe Brothers' involvement was nice, as Matt Sydal and Paul London made the save. I feel like this will emanate in a future main event in the form of a four-corner tag team match. Maybe with the TNA World Tag Team Championship on the line. Alternatively you could stretch this out with plenty of singles matches or six/eight man tag team bouts. So much you can do with a feud like this, I dig it. Doug Williams' feud with Frankie Kazarian has seen a lot of recorded segments and in-ring promos than I'd like to see. Is Doug still in FWA over in England whilst under contract or something? This angle is very slow moving and I would like to see more before their conclusive match. I would definitely not mind seeing Williams challenge AJ Styles and potentially win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Such a talent. Roddy Piper coming to TNA to interview Chris Hero eh? Now I can definitely get behind that one. I liked Michael Shane and Alexis Laree's interview to an extent. The racy line from Shane did not suit at all though - it's just not in his or Alexis' characters. Also degrading - I'm not sure if that's intended for the heel or not. Just a mildly strange interview to try and get over their personas. Michael Shane then following up with a win against BG James was nice, although I'm surprised that there was no inclusion of Ron Killings, who has seemingly gone solo in recent weeks. Inevitably I'd think that a feud between the two would be imminent. TNA with a slogan eh? I see we're still in cult mode. It was strange how you ordered the top stars, with Sting at the end after Amazing Red, James Storm and Chris Harris. Huh, dissension in the Alpha Male Enterprise? Strange segment, but I'll be open to it. Antonio Banks and D-Lo Brown would not fill the void of the long-term champions Monty Brown and Elix Skipper, though. I never really understand the coalition these four had. Abyss defeating James Storm gets over his monstrous persona, and he needed it in this No-Disqualification main event after previously losing to AJ Styles. Not a bad show, but nothing too special either. Maybe you need more competitive matches, maybe you need a little more star power, maybe you need some more feuds progressing fluidly. Something about this show seemed to be missing, though. But it wasn't bad.

I really liked this. I really like the race for the highest win percentage, and i'm excited to see you push guys like Frankie Kazarian and Low Ki. I like how you're pushing Hero as well and I thought his segment with Piper was very interesting and done well for the most part, i'm excited to see how he'll face up against Sting. I'm a new reader so quite a few of these names aren't the most recognizable, but I got through it for the most part. I really loved Punk's segment towards the end and this could end up being a major story-line. I like Styles as World Champion and I hope he continues to defend his belt but Punk is going to be a tough nut to beat out. As OLD GRAY said the show was a little lacking in terms of excitement, I think you need some new talent or some more interesting story-lines to spice things up a bit more. But I liked it nonetheless and i'm excited to read your next show. Good stuff man.

Nice to see that you changed up the font. It helps with reading back the shows, atleast in my opinion. Shane/Delirious is a good opener. Not surprised to see Shane go over here since he's the one being pushed currently. Wouldn't actually mind seeing an eventual Delirious push down the line also. I'm liking you putting over the tag division and then hyping the 2 tag bouts for next week. Those little touches are great. R.A.T.S were the rightful winners there. The Mamalukes going over would have been questionable. Kazarian ending up taking 1st place in the rankings because of Williams interfering is hilarious. I can imagine Kazarian and Traci being on their high horse now, even if Frankie didn't win cleanly. Wow, you're building up Chris Hero perfectly. I love the direction you're going with him and him targetting Douglas and now Piper is great. I would have liked Sting to save Piper in person but I guess it's kind of fitting that you didn't have him in person. It adds to the excitement of seeing Sting in person on PPV since you are using him sparingly, plus I doubt TNA would have paid him back then just for a 2 minute appearance haha! Really excited for Hero/Sting next week. Interesting note about Killings winning all of his matches since his split with BG whilst BG has lost all of his. I'm actually quite surprised that Banks and D'Lo lost as I expected them to remain members of the roster but go on to lose a title match against Monty and Skipper. Can't say I'm too fussed about neither staying on the roster, although I could see Banks returning down the line given the way he was made to look strong against the champs. Expected AJ to retain over Lynn in what sounded like a great match. Punk returning post-match was great and unexpected. A Punk/AJ feud shall be brilliant, especially as you've booked Punk so well up until now. A good show. I have to agree with the other 2 replies in that some more star power would help. I like that you're focusing on young, up and coming guys like AJ, Punk, Hero, etc. and that you have Sting on the roster, but I'd like to see more from more established guys aswell, helping the younger guys to get over more.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING| SEPTEMBER 2003TNA64WEDNESDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER, 2003 CHAMPIONS|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)
TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING… VIDEO| Last week after successfully defending his TNA championship against Jerry Lynn, champion AJ Styles was recovering in the ring when he was attacked from behind laid out by the returning CM Punk! Punk who hasn’t been seen in a month after being suspended following his actions following his match against Raven spiked AJ with an Even flow DDT. CM Punk casually sat beside the fallen body of the TNA champion, AJ Styles as TNA63 went off the air.
OPEN| Mike Tenay’s voice welcomed everyone to TNA64 before we joined Tenay, Don Callis & Jeremy Borash at ringside. Tenay said tonight the on screen representative of TNA management; Dusty Rhodes is here and has promised to make a huge announcement. Borash said hopefully Dusty would address what happened with the TNA champion, AJ Styles & the returning CM Punk last week.
GRAPHICS| TONIGHT| RON KILLINGS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS! TONIGHT| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)! TONIGHT| ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE)! RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis & Tenay continued at ringside calling tonight’s card one of the most star studded events in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling history because also tonight TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) are here to evaluate Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown plus Chris Harris and Michael Shane are in action but on top of all that tonight’s Main Event features the most recognisable man in TNA ‘The Icon’ Sting! Tonight Sting faces Chris Hero who has made quite an impact since debuting here in TNA…
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| MAIN EVENT| STING V CHRIS HERO! HIGHLIGHTS| Chris Hero over the last few weeks has shown his ruthless side first brutally attacking Shane Douglas with a number of vicious elbows to the head and then last week threatening legend Rowdy Roddy Piper before Sting’s made the save by playing mind games with the ‘Student of the Game’. Chris Hero claims he is not intimidated by Sting’s legacy and ‘The Icon’ Sting is simply Chris Hero’s first victim…
TIME LIMIT|ALL TNA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES & MAIN EVENTS HAVE A 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT ALL OTHER MATCHES HAVE A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED… COMMENTARY| GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) looking and carrying themselves like stars did commentary for the opening match between Zero Gravity & the Briscoe Brothers. Aries said the TNA tag team Division is the home of tag team wrestling but they want to be in the position Alpha Male Enterprise currently find themselves in, they want to be the team every other team is chasing to become the new TNA tag team champions they understand that they have to earn that right and they will, even if that means going through the entire TNA tag team division. Mike Tenay said what makes the TNA tag team division so great is at the top of the division any team can beat any team…
MATCH 1| BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) BEAT ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) VIA PIN FALL| During the match RATS – Rebel Against the System (Kid Kash & YANG) were shown watching backstage.
Going into this match Zero Gravity had the highest win rate of all tag teams 81% from 16 matches while the Briscoe Brothers have won the most matches (16).
Great way to kick off the show with two of the best tag teams going at it, this match would be capable of headlining a future TNA PPV plus the commentary team believe this match could take place again in the future with the TNA tag team titles on the line. Fans were hot for the action right behind Zero Gravity and all over the Briscoe Brothers. Tonight belonged to the Briscoe’s and after London missed a dive over the top rope to the outside they put Sydal away following their springboard Doomsday device.
Following the match officials checked on Paul London who’s high risk move came back to haunt Zero Gravity as GREATNESS stood at ringside Borash believed Aries & Strong were a little shocked that the Briscoe’s came away with the victory. Briscoe’s celebrated at ringside in front of GREATNESS and signalled for the TNA tag team titles. Result shows that any team can beat any team on any given night in the TNA tag team division.
EARLIER TODAY| TNA champion, AJ Styles was shown arriving at the arena the ‘Phenomenal One’ did not look happy after being attacked by CM Punk last week…
VIDEO| AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Chris Harris, James Storm, Zero Gravity, Bad Street Boys, Chris Sabin, Alpha Male Enterprise, Jerry Lynn, Amazing Red and Sting all separately repeated the same line… SPREAD THE WORD! – TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling… Spread the Word!!
ANNOUNCEMENT| Dusty Rhodes the onscreen representative of TNA management was in the ring with a microphone in hand. Rhodes sang the praises of the two teams in the opening match. Rhodes quickly mentioned that TNA management was in discussions on how the next top contender to the TNA tag team titles will be named and told the fans to expect an announcement very soon possibly next week but tonight Rhodes wanted to talk about the TNA championship currently held by AJ Styles. Rhodes congratulated AJ on retaining his title over Jerry Lynn in a great match before getting to his announcement.
At TNA71 TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling will hold the second ever… GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH!!
Rhodes said a number of men will meet in a over the top rope Gauntlet match where elimination occurs when a man is sent over the top rope and BOTH feet touch the floor and then when it comes down to two men the match stops and the last 2 men remaining face off in a one fall to a finish match where the winner will earn a shot at the TNA championship on the first Pay per View of 2004! Rhodes wasn’t finished when he was interrupted by the music of CM Punk…
CM Punk slowly walked down the aisle wearing shorts and a zip up jacket with his hands in his pockets. Punk rolled into the ring and approached Dusty Rhodes. Punk smirked at Rhodes before asking if Rhodes was surprised to see him, Rhodes asked Punk if he wants a microphone but Punk told Rhodes to hold his microphone to his mouth. Rhodes didn’t look happy but did anyway. Punk said announcing the Gauntlet for the Gold match was all well and good but who gets the next title shot or is AJ hiding behind management until next year. Rhodes asked Punk if he was stepping up and calling out the TNA champion. Punk smirked at Rhodes. Rhodes asked Punk what makes him think he’s in line for a shot at the title. Punk snapped at Rhodes asking if he seen what he did to Raven. Rhodes seen it but told Punk that was one match overall Punk is not even in the top 10 when it comes to win rate plus his last 5 matches are a mixed bag. Rhodes angered Punk more by telling Punk that he talks about being the greatest off all time but at the minute Punk can not even string two wins together. CM Punk was fuming just like that the noise in the arena picked up because AJ Styles the TNA champion was storming down the aisle. Punk calmly rolled out of the ring as AJ entered the ring Rhodes held AJ back from going out after Punk. Punk stood at ringside as AJ demanded Rhodes to give CM Punk what he wants the next shot at the TNA title. Rhodes said he understands AJ’s mad but the simple fact is TNA does not just hand out TNA title shots to anyone if Punk wants a title shot he has to earn it so next week in the Main Event of TNA65 we are going to have a top contenders match between CM Punk and the man who is undefeated in year 2 of TNA the wrestler of the year so far the ‘Pretty Damn Sick’ Chris Sabin! CM Punk just pointed in the ring at both Rhodes and AJ Styles before starting to back up the aisle while motioning for the TNA championship as AJ Styles & Dusty Rhodes exchanged words in the ring.
RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis & Tenay recapped what was just announced by Dusty Rhodes, first at TNA71 we would see the second Gauntlet for the Gold match to determine who will challenge the TNA champion on the first PPV of 2004. Callis asked who would be the champion come then because a top contender’s match has been signed for next week between Chris Sabin and CM Punk with the winner earning a shot at AJ Styles title before Gauntlet for the Gold.
MATCH 2| MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE BEAT SHARK BOY VIA PIN FALL FOLLOWING HIS ‘JAW DROPPING’ SAITO SUPFLEX| Michael Shane who demanded last week he be put in Main Events from now had to make due this week with Shark Boy. Shane was too good for Shark Boy and was arrogant on his way to victory before putting Shark Boy with his ‘Jaw Dropping’ Saito Supflex. Michael Shane following the match kicked Shark Boy out of the ring before making out with his girl friend Alexis Laree.
RECORDED INTERVIEW| Chris Hero sitting in his locker room said that to much respect is shown to past achievements and then people get placed on a pedestal get idolised and become heroes. Hero said Sting gets called a hero, Sting gets called a legend an icon but the fact is Sting was the best of a past generation and even though Sting has faced some of the “best” he has never faced anyone like Chris Hero no one has because there is no one like Chris Hero. Hero is a student of the game a wrestling machine and who plays by his own rules and tonight he destroys the man everyone always calls an Icon but he just calls his next victim.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari was backstage with former TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels ahead of Daniels match against Ron Killings and Daniels looks a lot happier than the last time we seen him which Daivari commented on. Daniels told Daivari his mood has already changed because Dusty Rhodes has just gave him the one opportunity that he craves to get back in the TNA title picture because at TNA71 he will make history once again when he wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match and earns another shot at the TNA title and that is the gospel according to the Fallen Angel…
MATCH 3| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS BEAT RON KILLINGS VIA SUBMISSION| Good match – Ron Killings has been a star on the rise recently since splitting with BG James while Christopher Daniels is on the rebound after failing to regain his TNA title from AJ Styles.
Competitive match with Killings come close to victory on a couple of occasions, Killings could be an outside bet to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match after impressing in the first one while Daniels has to be one of the favourites to become the next top contender to the TNA title. Daniels was not at his best but still managed to put Killings away after making Killings tap out to the Koji clutch. Christopher Daniels earlier tonight was given a life line to get back into the TNA title picture and Daniels will not let himself miss out on this opportunity.
GRAPHIC| 12.11.03| TNA71| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD MATCH!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA63| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) BEAT ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & D’LO BROWN)… RINGSIDE| Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about Antonio Banks performance last week almost leading him and D’Lo Brown to victory over the TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown. All 3 agreed that last week they seen a new side to Antonio Banks before wondering what was in store for Alpha Male Enterprise after their match last week…
INTERVIEW| TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper and Monty Brown were in the ring holding their TNA tag team titles wearing new AME Brand t-shirts. Brown had a microphone in hand. Tenay noted how no other member of AME was at ringside not even Alpha Male Security. Brown started off by once again reminding everyone that Alpha Male Enterprise is the biggest most dominant brand in the world and your TNA tag team champions! Brown said to keep AME as the most dominant brand in the world they always have to evolve because AME will live on forever long after they’ve all gone and you don’t have to be friends or family to be a part of AME you just have to have what AME is looking for. Recently Antonio Banks & D’Lo Brown have not been meeting the AME standard so last week they gave them the opportunity to step up so now they want Banks & D’Lo to come on out and learn their fate. Banks & Brown came out the crowd seemed to react a bit louder to Banks than they have in the past after he impressed last week. Once Banks & Brown were in the ring Alpha Male Security made their way out and surrounded the ring which got Banks & Brown’s attention but Monty Brown told them to relax. Monty Brown stepped up to Antonio Banks and Banks stared Monty dead in the face didn’t blink, Brown offered his hand to Banks and Banks hesitantly accepted the handshake. Monty Brown told Antonio Banks he was in – saying last week Antonio Banks stepped up and showed the world what he and Elix Skipper already know that Antonio Banks is not just some convict he is the future of this business the future of Alpha Male Enterprise, Monty told Banks that AME supports Banks 100% and to prove it they have spoken with Dusty Rhodes and Antonio Banks will represent AME in the Gauntlet for the Gold match but still that is not all they also have one more surprise and pointed to the stage. Ekmo Fatu a member of the famous Anoa’i family who weighs in over 300lbs. Fatu was also wearing an AME shirt. Fatu joined AME in the ring and stood next to Banks as Monty Brown told Banks that Fatu was his, his personal security guard because they need to keep the M.V.P of AME safe but before Fatu starts working for Banks Fatu has one last task to do for him. With that Fatu nailed D’Lo Brown with a crescent kick. Fatu stamped on D’Lo’s chest before dragging D’Lo into the corner then Fatu nearly took D’Lo’s head off with a running hip attack in the corner. Monty Brown & Elix Skipper just rolled out of the ring and made their way back up the aisle liked nothing was happening. Antonio Banks looked upset and didn’t seem to agree with the attack on D’Lo Brown but Banks did nothing to stop the attack as Ekmo Fatu continued the beating which ended following a Samoan drop then a splash from the top rope. Once Ekmo was done he offered out his fist to Antonio Banks and after thinking it over Banks touched fists with Ekmo Fatu as Monty Brown and Elix Skipper watched on from the stage, Brown & Skipper have sent a message to TNA and Monty Brown tonight with the destruction of D’Lo Brown. Alpha Male Enterprise the most dominant brand in the world and the TNA tag team champions, tonight got even stronger at the expense of D’Lo Brown who was checked on by paramedics before being carried out on a stretcher.
RINGSIDE| Cameras from ringside searched the rafters to get a shot of ‘The Icon’ Sting ahead of his Main Event tonight against Chris Hero.
COMMENTARY| Mike Tenay noted on commentary that before the show was over we would hear from TNA champion, AJ Styles, CM Punk and Chris Sabin.
GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)… MATCH 4| THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) BEAT BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS)| Two more of the top teams going at it tonight, on a night where TNA management have given the TNA tag team division an opportunity to show their worth and they have not let themselves down.
Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe) who defeated Zero Gravity (Matt Sydal & Paul London) earlier tonight came out during the match to watch from the stage while Zero Gravity were shown watching backstage while recovering from their loss earlier tonight.
Good match –BSB looking to get an immediate rematch against the TNA tag team champions while The Naturals wanted to show that they are next in line for a shot at the TNA tag team titles. All four men got involved towards the end and York thought he had picked up the win for his team after a top rope elbow drop on Stevens but Stevens wasn’t the legal man and Douglas quickly surprised York with an inside cradle for the 3 count and the upset victory.
Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens rolled straight out of the ring as Joey Matthews was just to slow in breaking up the fall. Naturals celebrated in the aisle as Matthews & York were left disappointed in the ring. Another result which shows that any team can beat any team in the TNA tag team division.
EARLIER TONIGHT| TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes announced that at TNA71 – Gauntlet for the Gold returns and the winner will challenge for the TNA championship on the first Pay per View of 2004!
COMMENTARY| Mike Tenay announced that next week TNA management has requested that Jerry Lynn apologise to Bobby Roode and there is talk that Bobby Roode will also be in attendance next week…
HIGHLIGHTS| LAST WEEK| TNA63| ERIC YOUNG ATTACKED JERRY LYNN AS LYNN MADE HIS WAY OUT FOR HIS TNA TITLE SHOT AGAINST AJ STYLES. YOUNG MANAGED TO GET A FEW SHOTS IN ON LYNN BEFORE OFFICIALS PULLED YOUNG FROM RINGSIDE. AS YOUNG WAS LEAVING HE WAS SCREAMING AT LYNN THAT WAS FOR BOBBY! BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari was backstage with TNA Wrestling Academy trainer, Norman Smiley. Daivari asked Smiley for any information on Eric Young the man that attacked Jerry Lynn last week. Smiley said it’s fair to say that Eric Young is a little unstable a loose cannon if you will but Young is very loyal and Bobby Roode is the closet thing to a friend that Eric Young has got. Daivari then changed the subject to the head trainer of TNA Wrestling Academy and a close friend of Norman’s, ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris. Daivari asked Smiley how Chris Harris was coping since his defeat to ‘The Icon’ Sting. Smiley admitted that Harris was hurting but there is no shame in taking Sting to the limit before losing. Smiley said Harris is hungry and determined but now he is also focused fully on becoming the TNA champion. Chris Harris dreams about becoming the TNA champion but that’s not all Harris dreams or talks about Harris also talks about wanting to be to TNA what Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin are to the WWE and what Ric Flair and Sting were to WCW/NWA and as soon Harris gets that big victory there will be no stopping Chris Harris…
MATCH 5| CHRIS HARRIS BEAT BG JAMES VIA SUBMISSION| Chris Harris totally dominated the match, taking BG James part at first with some chain wrestling before nearly cutting BG in half with a Spear from there Harris took BG James apart with a back supflex, middle rope leg drop his Catatonic before making BG James tap out to his Texas Cloverleaf. BG James completely outclassed tonight by Chris Harris who has reacted well to his defeat to Sting and has looked better in every match since. Harris kneeled down beside BG following the match and shook BG James hand (BG didn’t look impressed) before rolling out of the ring where Harris motioned for the TNA title.
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA65| MAIN EVENT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK! COMMENTARY| Mike Tenay said throughout tonight’s show Shawn Daivari has tried to speak with TNA champion, AJ Styles as well as the top two contenders Chris Sabin and CM Punk…
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari tried to talk to CM Punk but Punk told Daivari that he had better things to do than talk to him before walking off.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Shawn Daivari spoke with an angry TNA champion, AJ Styles. Styles said he understands the points Dusty Rhodes’s was making earlier tonight that TNA title shots just don’t get handed out but Styles is determined to prove that he is a fighting champion and he doesn’t back down from a challenge and last week CM Punk called him out by spiking him a DDT. AJ calmed himself down and told Daivari that he’s not overlooking Chris Sabin and Sabin next week could very well beat Punk and then AJ and Sabin will have a classic but at some point for the title or not AJ is coming for CM Punk…
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW| Chris Sabin told Shawn Daivari that he wasn’t expecting to be named in a top contenders match when he showed up tonight but he does deserve it. Sabin said he too could has took the easy way out he could have snuck in the back door and planted AJ Styles with his Cradle Shock but that’s not his style. Sabin’s style is to chill out make some witty comments and then go out to the ring and do things that only Chris Sabin can do and next week that will lead him to victory over CM Punk and sooner or later the TNA championship.
GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| STING V CHRIS HERO… BACKSTAGE| Chris Hero was shown making his way out for his first match here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling and they don’t come much bigger than facing ‘The Icon’ Sting in the Main Event on Pay per View…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| STING V CHRIS HERO| Fans were on their feet giving the multiple time World champion a great ovation but Chris Hero showing he is not intimidated by Sting stood in the middle of the ring waiting for the bell to ring. Sting met Hero in the middle and the two stood face to face while the fans chanted Sting’s name until Hero pie faced Sting.
Sting controlled the early going frustrating Hero while Sting was full of confidence. Hero violently took control of the match after covering Sting’s head with the ring curtain before nailing Sting with a number of forearms before booting Sting in the side of the head and then pushing Sting into the ring post. In the early parts of the match Hero was just finding his feet and at no time did Hero looked nervous or out of his depth against the more experienced and much bigger name in Sting.
Hero got a close near fall of an uranage while Sting came back with a top rope supflex but Hero managed to kick out. Hero also late in the match managed to block Sting’s Scorpion Death lock. Hero scampered away into the corner to get away from Sting and Sting trying to stay on Hero launched himself at Hero looking for a Stinger splash only for Hero to move causing to Sting to hit the top turnbuckle hard. Sting seemed to be out on his feet and the match official was concerned for Sting’s well being knowing Sting was knocked silly in his first TNA match against Christopher Daniels. Don Callis claimed Sting had lost his chin as Hero set Sting up for his Roaring Elbow. Hero launched himself at Sting but Sting ducked and instantly grabbed hold of Hero’s hair and pulled Hero down and quickly planted Hero with his Scorpion Death drop which was enough for the 3 count. RESULT| STING BEAT CHRIS HERO VIA PIN FALL
Sting sat up and rested against the bottom rope as the match official raised Sting’s hand in victory. Fans were on their feet in celebration of Sting’s victory.
Chris Hero impressed in his first TNA match against the biggest name in TNA ‘The Icon’ Sting. While Borash & Tenay praised Hero’s performance Don Callis said Sting cheated tonight by grabbing Hero’s hair and Chris Hero was screwed out of the biggest debut victory of all time. Hero rolled out of the ring lay on the floor at ringside.
Sting was pacing around the ring showing the signs of a tough match. Sting wanted to prove himself against the best TNA has to offer and he is doing that. Tenay wondered what next for ‘The Icon’ Sting surely Sting has to have his eyes on the Gauntlet for the Gold match and earning the right to face the TNA champion on the first Pay per View of 2004. TNA64 went off the air as Sting stood tall on the middle turnbuckle.

I'm quite surprised that The Briscoe's went over Zero Gravity in the opener. GREATNESS appearing at ringside plus the note of R.A.T.S watching backstage makes me think we'll see those 2 teams have a match before then the winner of that faces The Briscoe's before a feud for the tag titles? Either way, the tag division is absolutely stacked. Gauntlet for the Gold 2? Nice. I like how Rhodes won't just hand Punk a title shot and he has to earn it by facing Sabin, who is undefeated this year. Sounds like it would be a good match but doesn't exactly scream "main event" to me. Decent win for Shane. Nice to see you building Daniels up for Gauntler for the Gold 2. Absolutely loved the Alpha Male Enterprise segment. Skipper and Brown giving Banks another shot after impressing last week was nice and I loved how despite Fatu destroying D'Lo, he done nothing to stop it. Antonio is far better as a heel so I'm glad to see you're going down that road with him. I get a Bo Dallas vibe from Harris' promos haha. I dunno if that's what you're going for or not... Sting getting the win over Hero was obvious, but I'm glad that Hero was made to look strong. With Sting in the Gauntlet for the Gold, I wonder if he will be the eventual winner? As always, a good show!

I'm really liking all the seeds planted to TNA. Sting going in the gauntlet for the gold is very nice. Honestly excited to see the feud between CM Punk and AJ Styles. Nice storylines planted man,
Note: Survivor Series 1994 is up.

Alright, TNA64. We got ourselves a huge main event in Sting vs Chris Hero. Then again, any match with Sting is going to be huge. Briscoe Brothers beating Zero Gravity in the opening contest is fine, any way to keep this tag division moving around like it has. A solid promo between Dusty Rhodes, CM Punk and AJ Styles. A feud between Punk and Styles in this age would be quite interesting. Michael Shane getting a win over Shark Boy is no surprise. Don't care for either guy. Christopher Daniels vs Ron Killings would be a huge match here, with both men on the rise. I could have agreed either way here, but Daniels makes more sense it seems. EKMO FATU, DAWG! UMANGA! You've got so much going on in the tag team division. I'm not one hundred percent sure if this is a great thing or kind of worrysome, as there does seem to be a bit of overload. We'll see. Moving forward, another tag match with The Naturals winning. Good, I always enjoyed their work. They seemed very undervalued. Eric Young the loose cannon! Brian Pillman, man! Chris Harris beating BG James was the best choice, with these two going in completely opposite ways of up and down. AJ Styles wants CM Punk. We're going to get it, damn it. One way or another. Finally, a great main eventb etween Sting and Chris Hero with the legend getting the win. I like how you're having him face up and coming talent and not lose to them, but give them their chance to shine. A good edition of TNA.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING| OCTOBER 2003 TNA65 Wednesday 1st October, 2003
CHAMPIONS| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES (BEAT LOW KI – 18.06.03) TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) (BEAT AMAZING RED & JERRY LYNN – 16.04.2003)
LOCATION| NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE ANNOUNCERS| MIKE TENAY WITH DON CALLIS & JEREMY BORASH
TNA65 opened with a video package looking back over Chris Sabin’s 6 victories so far in Year 2 of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling the 6 victories including victories over Amazing Red & Michael Shane which has earned Sabin his place in tonight’s top contender’s match. Sabin has earned the opportunity to challenge TNA champion, AJ Styles. Video then turned to look at CM Punk who returned from suspension and attacked AJ Styles from behind and then last week Punk demanded a title shot only for Dusty Rhodes to refuse saying Punk had not earned an opportunity. Styles blinded by revenge demanded Punk get given an opportunity to Rhodes compromised and tonight we will in the Main Event determine the top contender to the TNA title when Chris Sabin takes on CM Punk!
Mike Tenay’s voice welcomed everyone watching to TNA65 before we joined TNA management’s onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes in the middle of the ring with TNA News Reporter, Don West. West welcomed everyone to the show before letting everyone know that tonight’s show was going to kick off some big news before handing the microphone to Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes also thanked the fans for tuning in and promised a great show tonight but he wanted to kick things of with a couple of announcements. The first, last week Rhodes revealed that at TNA71 – Gauntlet for the Gold returns and the winner of the match would earn a TNA title shot on the first Pay per View of 2004. Rhodes wanted to announce some of the entrants…
‘The Icon’ Sting, Chris Hero, Doug Williams, Jerry Lynn, Amazing Red, Frankie Kazarian, Chris Harris as the names were mentioned a graphic of each wrestler appeared on screen, Rhodes continued… Antonio Banks, Ron Killings, Michael Shane, Abyss, James Storm and the man who won the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match - ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels.
While Rhodes was talking, BG James, Delirious, Shark Boy, Jimmy Rave with ODB, Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) and Robbie Eckos came out and lined up across the stage. Rhodes said announcing the Gauntlet for the Gold match and some of the entrants was fun, what he is about to do will not be fun. Rhodes addressed the men at the top of the stage. TNA is a growing company and they want to showcase the best talent to the world but as a business they have a budget like every other company. Rhodes said his phone doesn’t stop with people calling him telling him they want in TNA but Rhodes and TNA management have to turn people away. Rhodes is going to get the to the point, Rhodes telling the men at the top of the stage that they are not proving they are deserving of a spot on the TNA roster currently, Rhodes mentioned how their win loss records were awful. Rhodes put them at ease quickly and told them he was not out here tonight to publicly fire them and humiliate them he is out here to set them a challenge, a challenge to keep their jobs and hopefully it will relight in the fire within and they will show everyone once again why they were hired in the first place. The challenge is this win 5 matches before losing 5 matches and they keep their jobs if they lose 5 before they have won 5 then they are unfortunately out of work! BG James crouched down in shock covering his mouth with his hands as Jimmy Rave threw a tantrum and stormed off with ODB following. Rhodes told them they all have the night of tonight but told them they were being fair and their futures were in their own hands. Rhodes wished them luck…
Robbie Eckos snapped marching half way down the aisle before stopping, screaming luck is for losers and he is not a loser. Eckos pointing at everyone still on the stage shouted he is not the same as them, they are all losers while he is a winner, he is money, Robbie Eckos is a champion, he is main event he is BOX OFFICE!! Officials came out and escorted a fuming Robbie Eckos and everyone else backstage.
Mike Tenay, Don Callis & Jeremy Borash were shown at ringside and they were in shock by Dusty Rhodes announcement telling 7 men that they are fighting for their careers. Borash repeated the task win 5 matches before losing 5 and you keep your job. Callis said he felt for Robbie Eckos because its true Eckos is not a loser and has star potential.
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK!! Graphic appeared on screen as Borash, Callis & Tenay turned their attention to tonight’s Main Event as footage was shown from earlier today of Chris Sabin arriving at the arena, tonight’s Main Event is easily the biggest match of the red hot Chris Sabin’s young career. As more graphics appeared on screen Borash, Callis & Tenay hyped what was scheduled for tonight including a huge match between two of the favourites to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match a first time ever match pitting Doug Williams against Abyss! Also Chris Harris is in action again when he takes on Amazing Red plus their will a 6 way match from the TNA tag team division and finally Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode will meet face to face for the first time since Lynn broke Bobby Roode’s neck!
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| DOUG WILLIAMS V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL!! GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| AMAZING RED V CHRIS HARRIS!! GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| AUSTIN ARIES V JOEY MATTHEWS V MATT SYDAL V CHASE STEVENS V JAY BRISCOE V YANG!! While Tenay was reminding everyone about the time limits here in TNA (30 minute Main Events, 20 minute every other match unless stated) he was interrupted by the voice of Michael Shane. Shane was making his way down the aisle holding Alexis Laree’s hand while talking into a microphone. Shane entered the ring. Shane said TNA management did one smart thing tonight and that was enter Michael Shane into the Gauntlet for the Gold match but they have made the same mistake twice which is unforgivable and that is not booking Michael Shane in match. Shane told the fans to head to the doors and demand their refund. Shane wanted to remind TNA management something, Shane said he is that great – Shawn Michaels calls himself Michael Shane’s cousin. Shane said he was here for a match and he wasn’t leaving until he got one. Few seconds later the music of Nashville’s own – ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm hit and Storm stepped out on to the stage, Storm’s left arm was still heavily taped from his match with Abyss a couple of weeks ago. Storm also had a microphone, Storm told Shane that he has a bad wing after his war with ‘The Monster’ Abyss but that Storm is not going to use that as an excuse to keep him out of the ring so Storm was looking to pick a fight tonight so Shane has made a big mistake opening that mouth of his because now Storm was going to knock his ass out…
MATCH 1| JAMES STORM V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE Michael Shane wanted no part of the match claiming not to be ready or dressed but the match official called for the bell anyway. Storm dominated the first few minutes but Shane used Storm’s injured left arm against him to get back into the match. They went on to have a decent match and after Storm scored with a back cracker he was setting Shane up for his Super kick when Laree pulled Shane from the ring then Laree and Shane quickly high tailed it up the ramp. James Storm may have gotten the victory by count out but the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ was left frustrated. WINNER| James Storm via count out
TNA champion, AJ Styles was shown arriving at the arena earlier today to watch tonight’s Main Event and find out who would be challenging him next for the TNA championship either Chris Sabin or CM Punk. Slow motion footage was then shown of the Cradle pile driver Jerry Lynn injured Bobby Roode with back at TNA57 before Tenay reminded everyone that tonight Lynn and Roode would come face to face and Bobby Roode wants an apology.
Chris Harris’ music hit in the arena before ‘Wildcat’ was shown making his way out for the next match against Amazing Red. Borash noted how since losing to Sting, Chris Harris has took things one step at a time, match at a time facing a step up in competition every time and Red who is one half of the first ever TNA tag team champions and has a decent record in the singles division is Harris’ toughest test since losing to ‘The Icon’ Sting…
MATCH 2| AMAZING RED V CHRIS HARRIS Amazing Red offered his fist to Chris Harris before the match and Harris shook his head no, telling Red after the match which is something Sting did to Chris Harris before their match at TNA58.
Harris and Red had a very good match; fans were behind both men with Red seemingly having more fans behind him while Harris heard some boos. A number of near falls from both men, Red came close after a wheelbarrow bulldog while Harris came back with a spine buster and his Catatonic for near falls of his own. Fans thought Red won the match following his Satellite DDT followed by his Red Star press but at the last second Harris got his shoulder up and not long after Harris countered a hurrican-rona with a power bomb and quickly locked Red in his Texas Cloverleaf and Red tried to fight it but had no choice and had to tap out. WINNER| Chris Harris via tap out
Chris Harris rested on the bottom rope while having his hand raised in victory before crawling over to the fallen Amazing Red where Harris showed his respect to Red before rolling out of the ring. Harris was praised on his performance and while you can see his improvements since losing to Sting the commentators asked the obvious question has Chris Harris now got what it takes to win the biggest matches.
GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| DOUG WILLIAMS V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL!! Borash, Callis & Tenay were shown on camera after the Williams/Abyss graphic was shown and they spoke about how Doug Williams and Abyss could easily be headlining tonight’s Pay per View. Their accomplishments in TNA were mentioned how Doug Williams has an 82% win rate winning 9 of his last 11 while Abyss who is coming of his victory against James Storm in a No Disqualification match has a 76% win rate but has only ever lost one match and that was to former TNA champion, Low Ki the same Low Ki who is now out injured and who’s career may be over thanks to ‘The Monster’ Abyss.
Recorded interview aired first with Doug Williams and then Jim Mitchell with Abyss. Williams said he jumped at the chance to face Abyss with it was offered to him by TNA management. Williams said coming of a concussion it may not be wise taking on a monster but Williams is angry and he wants to take his frustration out on the big punching bag Abyss. Williams has 3 immediate targets beating Abyss, getting his hands on Frankie Kazarian and winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match.
Jim Mitchell with Abyss standing beside him said tonight once again Abyss will get into the ring with one of the most promising stars in TNA and maul them, Mitchell vowed that no one was safe from Abyss and that includes Doug Williams. Mitchell hopes every man entered into the Gauntlet for the Gold match is watching because Abyss is going to show them what they are in for tonight. At TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold, Abyss is going to have the time of his life dissecting every man in the Gauntlet before becoming the top contender to the TNA championship and god help you all once Abyss becomes the new TNA champion…
MATCH 3| DOUG WILLIAMS V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL During the match the first ever Christopher Daniels was shown watching the match in his private dressing room. Daniels spoke with TNA interviewer, Shawn Daivari telling Daivari that as everyone saw last year winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match leads to greatness and while he has complete confidence that he can do it again at TNA71 he’s going to make sure he has no excuses and is going to scout all of his opponents and use their weaknesses against them. Daniels then demanded Daivari left but not before getting Daniels a drink…
Williams and Abyss had a hard hitting match and the clash styles caused Abyss problems. Williams never backed down from the much bigger Abyss and brought the fight to him and at one point impressively lifted Abyss with a Northern lights supflex straight into bridge fans were on feet but Abyss kicked out. Williams stayed on top of Abyss and locked Abyss’ head in a cravate before rocking Abyss with a number of knees to the head, Williams let go wanting a running knee but Abyss caught Williams off guard with a choke slam, Abyss then pulled Williams up and finished him off with his Black Hole Slam. WINNER| Abyss via pin fall
Great effort in defeat from Doug Williams, Jim Mitchell joined Abyss in the ring and raised Abyss’ hand in victory before telling everyone listening that Abyss would win the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Mike Tenay asked the question who can stop Abyss, Don Callis agreed and said he makes Abyss the odds on favourite to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match reminding everyone that Abyss eliminated 7 men in the first Gauntlet match and Abyss has only got bigger, stronger and more demented since then!
After Abyss and Jim Mitchell had left, paramedics were in the ring checking on Doug Williams who was still on his back feeling the effects of Abyss’ choke slam and Black Hole slam. Williams has to be careful recovering from a concussion when the music of the man who gave Williams said concussion Frankie Kazarian hit. Traci Brooks led the way as Frankie Kazarian as always in his pin stripe suite with no shirt with his long straightened shiny hair made their way into the ring surrounded by TNA agents. Traci passed Frankie a microphone…
Kazarian mocked Doug Williams, lose again Dougie? Kazarian told the agents and paramedics to get this loser out of his ring because he has an announcement to make. Williams even though he was hurt jumped to his feet and launched himself at Kazarian only for the agents and paramedics to get in Williams’ way saving Kazarian who was cowering in the ropes. Frankie Kazarian stepped back into the middle of the ring bravely once Williams was escorted out of the ring. Kazarian told Williams to stay saying Williams might like what Kazarian was about to announce but first Traci Brooks would like to introduce him. Traci Brooks said while her man needs no introductions or hype like another loser (pointing at Doug Williams) she introduces… ‘The Modern Day Man’, ‘Pin Stripe Pin Up’, the ‘Real Deal’ and the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’ – FRANKIE KAZARIAN! Kazarian took the microphone from Brooks and thanked her but told her she forgot to mention how Frankie Kazarian also has the highest overall win rate in TNA and now he has been rewarded, next week in the Main Event, Frankie Kazarian will go one on one against the TNA champion, AJ Styles in a Non-Title match! Kazarian and Brooks and hugged while Doug Williams was fuming. Kazarian turned back to Williams and told him it was all thanks to him because Williams upsetting him made him up his game and now Kazarian is so close to having all of his dreams come true. Williams heard enough and escaped the officials and ran into the ring only for Kazarian and Brooks to bail and then hide themselves behind the same officials. Doug Williams is going to have to sit back next week and watch Frankie Kazarian in the Main Event face off against the TNA champion, AJ Styles knowing it could have been him if only he beat Kazarian in their last match.
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA66| MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! AJ Styles before facing Frankie Kazarian next week tonight will find out who will be his next challenger for the TNA championship either Chris Sabin or CM Punk! Shawn Daivari was shown standing outside of CM Punk’s locker room because before tonight’s Main Event we would hear from CM Punk.
Borash, Callis & Tenay spoke about the TNA tag team division as the Year 2 win rates for all the teams challenging for the next shot at the TNA tag team titles appeared on screen there a few things to take into account while The Naturals have the lowest win rate of year 2 they beat former top contenders Bad Street Boys in their last match plus GREATNESS have had a lot less matches than the other teams.
6th – The Naturals 29% 5th – RATS 33% 4th – Briscoe Brothers 67% 3rd – Zero Gravity 67% 2nd – Bad Street Boys 75% 1st – GREATNESS 100%
MATCH 4| AUSTIN ARIES V JOEY MATTHEWS V MATT SYDAL V CHASE STEVENS V JAY BRISCOE V YANG (Rules of the match two men in the ring, 4 on the apron – first man to get pin or submission wins)
Tag team partners were barred from ringside, it was announced during the match that the men not involved in tonight’s match would meet in a 6 way match next week. Tenay also revealed that next week Dusty Rhodes would announce how the next top contenders to the TNA tag team titles will be determined.
Tag team division threatening to steal the show once again, an unbelievable match so fast paced with many unique and risk moves taking place none riskier than the Shooting Star press from Matt Sydal from the top rope outside of the ring on to Joey Matthews, Chase Stevens & Jay Briscoe.
Sydal’s high risk move took everybody out except Aries & YANG and after nailing YANG with a running drop kick in the corner Aries managed to put YANG away following a brain buster. WINNER| Austin Aries via pin fall
Austin Aries representing GREATNESS picking up the victory tonight again showing how GREATNESS have come in and turned the TNA tag team division on it’s head. Aries continued to celebrate in the aisle way as Joey Matthews, Matt Sydal and Jay Briscoe were shown reacting to their loss. Mike Tenay announced Shawn Daivari was standing by with CM Punk…
Shawn Daivari started to introduce CM Punk only for Punk to pull the microphone away from Daivari. Punk asked whether he was allowed to say what he wants or will he be cut off, Daivari told Punk the floor was his. Punk asked Daivari whether he watched the video package to open tonight’s show Daivari admitted he did. Punk said if you believed that video package you would think Chris Sabin has done everything to deserve tonight’s opportunity while CM Punk has snuck in the back door and if you listened to Dusty Rhodes last week you wouldn’t think CM Punk deserves a shot at the TNA title. Punk said that was crap, Punk reminded everyone that he bloodied, battered, humiliated and scalped Raven in scenes so bad TNA management refuse to show the footage. Punk reminded Daivari of his mission in life which is to go down in history as the greatest of all time, Punk said Raven was the start, Chris Sabin is a roadblock and whenever he gets the golden boy AJ Styles in the middle of the ring he will beat AJ Styles and become the new TNA champion! Strong words from CM Punk ahead of his match with Chris Sabin tonight…
Returning to the ring – Jerry Lynn not dressed to wrestle was in the ring with a microphone in hand. Lynn told the fans why he was out here tonight; he was out here to apologise to Bobby Roode for injuring him back at TNA57. Lynn said he has already apologised but TNA management have asked he does it again so he will. Jerry Lynn told Bobby Roode that he was sorry that Roode got injured during their match. Don Callis said Jerry Lynn does not mean that apology and has only done it at the request of TNA management because they are aware Bobby Roode is planning on suing them. With that Bobby Roode’s music hit in the arena and Roode wearing a neck brace slowly walked out on to stage accompanied by his friend Eric Young who we seen jump Jerry Lynn 2 weeks ago before Lynn challenged for the TNA championship. Young helped Bobby Roode into the ring but stayed at ringside. Roode asked for a microphone. Roode asked Lynn if that was it that was his apology. Lynn nodded. Roode told Lynn he doesn’t accept his apology. Roode wanted Lynn for a second to swap places with Roode and see things from Roode’s point of view. Roode is just breaking into this business and is injured an injury which could end Roode’s career or cost him at least a year of his career. Roode shouted that he doesn’t know anything else he has to borrow money for his surgery. Roode continued he had to watch Lynn give a half hearted apology, he had to listen as Lynn justified the injury because Roode was going after people with the clothesline to the back of the neck Roode snapped again asking Lynn to justify it to his family. Roode’s words seemed to be getting to Lynn now. Roode wasn’t done asking Lynn to imagine having to sit back and watch as the man who injured him was rewarded with a shot at the TNA championship! Roode through the mic down and then leaned against the ropes holding the back of his neck in agony. Lynn slowly approached Roode and told Roode he understands and he sees Roode is hurting both physically and emotionally but suing Lynn and TNA management is not the answer. Roode turned to face Lynn and Roode had tears coming from his eyes of mic but picked up from Lynn’s mic, Roode said he doesn’t know what to do, he’s a broken man he has nothing left and admitted he doesn’t want to sue anyone telling Lynn he just wants to wrestle. Lynn embraced Roode and then Lynn told Bobby Roode he was truly sorry - telling Roode it’s not easy to trust in this business but he see’s Roode is hurting and he is truly sorry. Roode thanked Lynn and two men shook hands with brought applause from the crowd. Lynn tossed the microphone out of the ring and told Bobby Roode he would help him in anyway. Roode asked for Eric Young’s help to get out of the ring but Young didn’t hear so Lynn went to call Young over only for Roode to explode off the ropes nailing Lynn in the back of the head with a vicious lariat!!
Bobby Roode was on top of Jerry Lynn hammering Lynn with shot after shot bouncing Lynn’s head off the mat as Eric Young stopped officials from getting into the ring. Bobby Roode has set Jerry Lynn up. Roode paced around the ring before being joined by Eric Young the two of the celebrated while Mike Tenay was going berserk at Roode’s actions. Don Callis was up applauding at ringside. Officials checked on Jerry Lynn as Amazing Red ran out and he too checked on and protected his partner Jerry Lynn as Bobby Roode and Eric Young exited the ring.
Bobby Roode was fine the entire time. Roode set Jerry Lynn up! Jerry Lynn was still being checked on in the ring when Bobby Roode appeared on the big screen alongside Shawn Daivari with Eric Young in the background celebrating the beating they had just gave Jerry Lynn. Roode only had one thing to say to Jerry Lynn and everyone else watching and it’s something he has said before but maybe people will listen this time… He is the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling!
With that we joined Don West for some TNA News – West who was also in shock at Bobby Roode’s actions reminded everyone of the announcement that kicked off tonight’s show. 7 men are now fighting for their jobs – BG James, Delirious, Shark Boy, Jimmy Rave, Mamaluke, Romeo & Robbie Eckos and their task is win 5 matches before they lose 5 matches win five first and they keep their job lose 5 and their out of a job. West mentioned that a matches count single matches, tag team matches and even the Gauntlet for the Gold match if they are entered. Changing gears West introduced an exclusive interview with Chris Hero which took place last week following his defeat to ‘The Icon’ Sting…
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA64| MAIN EVENT| STING BEAT CHRIS HERO VIA PIN FALL… Chris Hero still dressed in his ring gear was livid trashing the locker room, claiming that the great Stinger cheated to beat him mentioning how Sting grabbed a hold of his hair before hitting his Scorpion Death drop. Hero said Sting was desperate and took the easy way out. What tonight did prove in Hero’s opinion is that man on man he can beat Sting because Hero showed the world that he is not intimidated by past accomplishments by name value the past is gone and people are looking at the man who will lead TNA into the future a man who will never apologise for his actions a man who beats to the sound of his own drum. Chris Hero finished by telling everyone that tonight Sting was lucky to beat a rookie who had never wrestled in TNA before. Hero told everyone to think about that for a second…
Don West finished up by announcing a number of matches which have been signed for TNA66 next week as graphics appeared on screen…
TNA66| MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| CHAMPION| AJ STYLES V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! TNA66| JAMES STORM V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE!! TNA66| RON KILLINGS V CHRIS HERO!! TNA66| CHRISTIAN YORK V PAUL LONDON V RODERICK STRONG V ANDY DOUGLAS V KID KASH V MARK BRISCOE!! Footage was shown from last week of when Alpha Male Enterprise (TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) told Antonio Banks he was the future of AME and as a gave Brown gave Banks his own personal security which saw the debut of Ekmo Fatu who is over 300lbs. Ekmo Fatu then went on to decimate D’Lo Brown the former partner of Antonio Banks who was kicked out of AME by Elix Skipper & Monty Brown. Following the footage Alpha Male Enterprise (TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown and Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu) were with Shawn Daivari ahead of Banks match against Ken Anderson. Monty Brown began hyping Antonio Banks up as MVP of AME when Banks cut Brown off. Banks told Brown last week their business went down publicly so it will again tonight and Banks wants all cards on the table after seeing what happened to D’Lo last week, Banks asked Monty Brown whether Ekmo was watching his back to keep Antonio healthy or in line. Monty Brown thought over his answer before answering Banks… Both!
MATCH 5| KEN ANDERSON V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU Ekmo Fatu was in Antonio Banks corner while the TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Security (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) protected by AME security watched from the stage.
Anderson and Banks are both promising up comers here in TNA and both have a chequered past. Banks before he came into TNA and Anderson while in TNA, he has been suspended twice and he’s worked for TNA less than a year. Don West revealed last week that Ken Anderson has been ordered by TNA management to clean up his act or he will be released. Anderson at times is still having trouble getting away from what comes naturally to him.
The two had an OK match and Banks scored the victory Ekmo climbed upon the ring apron behind Banks & the match officials back and dropped Anderson with a clothesline which allowed Banks to plant Anderson with his Playmaker for the victory. WINNER| Antonio Banks via pin fall
Following the match Antonio Banks celebrated his win as Anderson pulled himself up in the corner only for Ekmo to run and squash Anderson in the corner. Antonio Banks looked conflicted by Ekmo’s actions but Ekmo offered out his fist to Antonio Banks who stared up at AME who were up applauding then Banks touched fists with Ekmo Fatu. Mike Tenay and Jeremy Borash were confused about the relationship between AME and Antonio Banks, they believed Brown & Skipper were using Ekmo as a way to send a message to Antonio Banks while Don Callis said Banks is the future of AME and they are Brown & Skipper are just keeping their commodity safe - something to keep an eye on in the future.
GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| MAIN EVENT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK… Ahead of the Main Event, Mike Tenay along with Don Callis & Jeremy Borash were again shown on camera talking about the Main Event. They started off talking about Chris Sabin who was had a whirlwind year 2, they asked each other at the end of Year 1 if they thought Chris Sabin would be in this position 6 matches into Year 2. Tenay & Borash praised Chris Sabin for stepping up his game while Don Callis said Sabin’s Cinderella story ends tonight because while Sabin is good there is no denying the talent of CM Punk and it is a case of when and not if CM Punk becomes the TNA champion, speaking of the TNA champion, AJ Styles was standing by backstage with Shawn Daivari…
AJ Styles told Shawn Daivari that he allowed CM Punk to get inside his head after Punk dropped him on his head but now AJ is seeing straight. AJ told Daivari that if his head is not in the game it puts his TNA title at risk which is something AJ can’t allow. AJ admitted that he does want to get his hands on CM Punk but it doesn’t have to be a title match and if Chris Sabin beats Punk tonight AJ could use Punk as a warm up for his title match against Chris Sabin… Sabin interrupted and stood opposite AJ Styles for a few seconds before smiling at AJ and telling him he would see him again very soon…
CM Punk was shown making his way from his locker room for tonight’s Main Event against Chris Sabin…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| CHRIS SABIN V CM PUNK Mike Tenay announced on commentary that AJ Styles would defend the TNA championship against either Chris Sabin or CM Punk at TNA70 in one month bon fire night (05.11.03).
Amazing Red/Chris Harris was very good, the 6 way was exciting and Abyss and Williams was hard hitting but the Main Event between Punk & Sabin was the best of the lost, a great match. Sabin showed that he truly belongs at this level not looking a step out of place. Fans have really got behind Sabin the last few months while Punk despite what the video package may have told you is among the best in TNA and his win loss record does him no favours.
Many near falls and heart in mouth moments, Sabin came close following a tornado DDT. Punk thought he had the match won following his Pepsi Twist clothesline but Sabin got a shoulder up. Sabin scored a near falls after a cross body from the top rope and a springboard moonsault of the ropes. Punk came back with an uranage and a shining wizard which Punk thought was it but again Sabin showed great heart by kicking out. Punk set Sabin up for the Even flow DDT which he has stole from Raven only for Sabin to twist out of it and counter with a kick to the back of the head and followed up by quickly spiking Punk with his Cradle shock. Sabin dropped Punk on his head but was very slow to make the cover and when he got over to Punk’s body Punk rolled out of the ring. Fans were on their feet thinking Sabin was about to become the top contender to the TNA title.
Sabin went out on the apron to get Punk back into the ring but Punk swept Sabin’s legs and Sabin landed hard on the ring apron the back of his head hitting the hardest part of the ring and Sabin rolled back into the ring because he didn’t know where he was and Punk like a snake was quickly into the ring behind Sabin spiking Sabin with the Even flow DDT which was enough for the victory. CM Punk is the top contender to the TNA championship! WINNER| CM Punk via pin fall
Both CM Punk and Chris Sabin were on their backs following the bell. Great Main Event, Mike Tenay paid credit to Chris Sabin but it is CM Punk who is going to go on and challenge AJ Styles for the TNA championship at TNA70 on bonfire night. A groggy, CM Punk sat up and had his hand raised in victory as a sinister smile appeared on his face.
CM Punk climbed back to his feet and motioned for the TNA championship when AJ Styles music hit and AJ walked out on to the stage and held the TNA title high above his head as CM Punk stared up from the ring telling AJ he would becoming the new TNA champion. TNA65 went off the air as the top contender and the TNA champion continued to exchange words.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING…
TNA66 opened with shots of the crowd before Mike Tenay’s voice welcomed everyone to TNA66 before we joined Tenay and his broadcast partners Don Callis & Jeremy Borash at ringside. Tenay recapped that last week in the Main Event of TNA65 – CM Punk became the top contender to the TNA title after beating Chris Sabin and will now face TNA champion, AJ Styles on bonfire night at TNA70, tonight we would hear from CM Punk. Graphic appeared on screen hyping tonight’s Main Event as it was hyped by the announcers, tonight’s Main Event will see the man with the highest overall win rate in TNA, Frankie Kazarian face the TNA champion, AJ Styles in a Non-Title match.
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! Borash, Callis & Tenay also hyped the rest of tonight’s card which includes James Storm taking on Michael Shane plus Bobby Roode will be in action when he teams with the debuting Eric Young to take on Delirious & Shark Boy who along with 5 others are now fighting for their jobs. Callis also revealed that we would hear from Bobby Roode tonight following his actions last week.
As Paul London’s music hit in the arena signalling that the opening match was moments away Tenay reminded everyone of the time limits in TNA. All Main Events and Championship matches have a 30 minute time limit while all other matches have a 20 minute time limit.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA65| AUSTIN ARIES BEAT JOEY MATTHEWS, MATT SYDAL, CHASE STEVENS, JAY BRISCOE & YANG
MATCH 1| CHRISTIAN YORK V PAUL LONDON V RODERICK STRONG V ANDY DOUGLAS V KID KASH V MARK BRISCOE (Rules of the match two men in the ring, 4 on the apron – first man to get pin or submission wins) TNA tag team Division is getting rave reviews and is regarded by many as the greatest tag team Division in the business today and tonight’s opening match only added to that fact. Really exciting match which may have even been better than the match their tag team partners had last week which was won by Austin Aries.
Alpha Male Enterprise (TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown, Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu) was shown watching backstage – Antonio Banks will be in action later tonight.
Finish of the match saw Roderick Strong take on Mark Briscoe with a back body drop on the outside but then Andy Douglas floored Strong with a baseball slide as Christian York had Kid Kash down and was going up top only for Douglas to push Matthews of the top rope only for Paul London to run into Douglas knocking from the ring apron. London looking for the win went up top himself lining York up for something once York was back to his feet but Kash was still in the ring and he pushed York into the ropes dropping London on the ropes and then Kash rolled up the surprised York for the 3 count.
WINNER| Kid Kash via pin fall Kid Kash using his experience to pick up the win tonight showing that no one should rule RATS – Rebel Against the System out of the hunt of earning the next shot at the TNA tag team titles. Kid Kash rolled out of the ring as the other men in the match reacted to the defeat as the music of Dusty Rhodes hit in the arena…
TNA management’s onscreen representative, Dusty Rhodes walked out on to the stage with a microphone in hand. Rhodes said the last couple of weeks most of the attention has been on the TNA title with the announcement that Gauntlet for the Gold returns and that AJ Styles will defend his TNA title against CM Punk at TNA70 but that hasn’t stopped the 6 teams represented in the ring from trying to prove that they are deserving of the next shot at the TNA tag team titles. Rhodes admitted that the teams split TNA management so not only will the TNA championship be defended at TNA70 but also the top contenders to the TNA tag team titles will be determined in a 6 team Tag Team Turmoil match – Bad Street Boys V Briscoe Brothers V GREATNESS V RATS V The Naturals V Zero Gravity. Rhodes also revealed that the order of entry in the tag team turmoil match will be determined next week when all 6 teams meet in a 12 man Battle Royal. Out first in the Battle Royal in first in the Tag Team Turmoil match, win the Battle Royal and you get the advantage of entering last in the Tag Team Turmoil match. Mike Tenay praised the decision to give all 6 teams the opportunity to prove they deserve to be next in line for a shot at the TNA tag team titles. Tenay then introduced TNA’s newest interviewer assisting Shawn Daivari – Scott Hudson who’s standing by backstage with the TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise…
Hudson thanked Mike Tenay before asking Monty Brown for his thoughts on TNA management’s decision. Brown told Hudson that TNA management can keep lining the teams up but one by one they will dominate the competition because they are more than a tag team they are a worldwide brand. Hudson turned to Antonio Banks to get his thoughts ahead of his match tonight against BG James only for Elix Skipper to pull the microphone back towards him. Skipper told Antonio Banks that it seems like they are still having some teething issues so Skipper like Banks last weeks wants to put all their cards on the table again and told Banks he has two choices he can either rebel against AME of he can embrace AME the choice is Antonio Banks.
Graphics appeared on screen as Don Callis, Jeremy Borash & Mike Tenay continued to run through what was scheduled tonight including what was up next.
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| JAMES STORM V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE!! GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| RON KILLINGS V CHRIS HERO…
MATCH 2| RON KILLINGS V CHRIS HERO Before the match Jeremy Borah ran through some of Ron Killings stats – Ron Killings has a 46% win rate from 24 matches and holds victories over the likes of Ken Anderson, Shane Douglas & TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown. Killings also impressed during the first Gauntlet for the Gold match he has also tested some of the biggest names in TNA in losing efforts including Abyss and Christopher Daniels. Many believe that Ron Killings will one day go on and become the TNA champion.
Chris Hero’s one and only match was back at TNA64 in the Main Event where Hero just came up short against ‘The Icon’ Sting and if you were to ask Hero he would tell you he was robbed and Don Callis agrees.
Killings and Hero had a good match with both men impressing. Tenay claimed it has been years since he has seen anyone as aggressive as Chris Hero. Killings however fought from underneath well and came back into the match but after missing his Axe kick, Hero creamed Killings with a Roaring Elbow which was enough to give Chris Hero his first victory here in TNA.
WINNER| Chris Hero via pin fall Chris Hero casually stood after the match refusing to have his hand raised by the match official. Don Callis said if anyone still doubted Hero after his loss to Sting then tonight Hero proved just how dangerous he can be by not only beating but knocking out Ron Killings. Ron Killings was checked over at ringside following the match and while hurt Killings seemed shocked that he had been knocked out and was heard asking the officials, what happened?
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! Frankie Kazarian with Traci Brooks standing beside him was backstage with TNA interviewer, Shawn Daivari ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Kazarian & Brooks as always dressed in pin stripes looked very smug and confident. Traci Brooks reminded everyone that when she brought Frankie Kazarian to TNA she told the world they were heading to the top and after the biggest upset in TNA’s history when Doug Williams beat Kazarian everyone write Kazarian off but Kazarian is a champion and came back stronger than ever and now Kazarian is sitting at the top of TNA. Kazarian has the highest win rate in TNA and tonight will beat the TNA champion, AJ Styles in the middle of the ring. Kazarian then took the microphone and said after he beats AJ he will be entitled to a shot at the TNA championship but just encase AJ tries to play any games Kazarian will just win the Gauntlet for the Gold match too and then on the first Pay per View of 2004 – Kazarian will become the new TNA champion kicking off the year of Kazarian.
TNA champion, AJ Styles was shown watching Frankie Kazarian’s comments as AJ got ready for tonight’s Main Event following the next match between Antonio Banks & BG James we would hear from the top contender to the TNA title, CM Punk.
MATCH 3| BG JAMES V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU Footage was shown from last week where Dusty Rhodes on behalf of TNA management announced that BG James along with Delirious, Shark Boy, Jimmy Rave, Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) and Robbie Eckos have been set a challenge to keep their job – win 5 matches before losing 5 matches.
Earlier today Jeremy Borash reported that BG James refused to be interviewed and the rumours are James a veteran and multiple times champion is distraught at being placed in this position by TNA management.
Ekmo Fatu cuts a daunting figure at ringside. BG James stepped up his game while Banks impressed in patches but clearly has unlimited potential. Match went under 5 minutes, BG rolled Banks back into the ring and went to follow Banks back in but Ekmo tugged BG of the ring apron slowing BG down and distracting BG in the process. As soon as the distracted BG James made his way back into the ring Banks clocked BG with a running boot to the face which was enough to give Banks another victory.
WINNER| Antonio Banks via pin fall Ekmo Fatu entered the ring and made his way towards BG James only for Antonio Banks to stop Ekmo on this occasion. Banks held out his fist and Ekmo bumped fists with Antonio, BG James was being checked on by the official and Banks told Ekmo, BG had, had enough tonight. Mike Tenay asked whether Antonio Banks just spared BG James tonight further punishment, Callis wondered if AME would be happy with Banks showing sympathy to BG James.
Match official continued to check on BG James who is now 4 losses away from losing his job, until BG James jumped up and started screaming at the official telling him about Ekmo Fatu’s interference. James was screaming at the official that his career is now on the line. Don Callis called BG James a desperate man.
GRAPHIC| TNA70| 05.11.03| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!! HIGHLIGHTS| TNA65| MAIN EVENT| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| CM PUNK BEAT CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL…
CM Punk’s music hit in the arena and the top contender to the TNA championship slowly made his way out. Punk as always not giving too much away apart from the odd look of disgust to a fan was not dressed to wrestle tonight. As Punk made his way into the ring Tenay revealed that as soon as Punk has finished talking we would get a response from TNA champion, AJ Styles who was watching backstage with Scott Hudson.
Shawn Daivari was waiting for CM Punk in the middle of the ring. Daivari looked nervous as Punk approached him – CM Punk did not look happy. Punk shouted at Daivari to get out of the ring but and when Daivari told Punk he has been assigned to interview Punk. Punk snatched the microphone out of Daivari’s hand and Punk told Daivari that he would not be answering Daivari’s TNA management approved questions and told Daivari to get out of the ring or Punk would humiliate Daivari like he did to Raven. Daivari exited the ring.
CM Punk said TNA management would you have believe that he does not deserve his shot at the TNA championship in fact Punk reminded everyone that Dusty Rhodes had the nerve to say that to Punk’s face two weeks ago. Punk said Dusty was lucky Punk let him walk out of the ring that night. Punk also brought up the video package that opened TNA65 last week which made it look as if Punk was only in the top contenders match because he dropped the golden boy AJ Styles on his head. Punk said TNA management don’t want him to become the TNA champion and are putting all of their hope in AJ Styles hoping that AJ will look after them like they have looked after AJ since day one. Punk changed the subject and said his match isn’t about politics its about his journey because CM Punk is on a journey to complete his mission in life which is to go down in history as the greatest wrestler of all time and TNA70 is not the end of the story it’s only the beginning. Punk opened everyone’s eyes when he beat, bloodied and humiliated Raven then last week after beating Chris Sabin everyone watching now knows that at TNA70, CM Punk will beat AJ Styles and become the TNA champion and complete the next phase of his life mission becoming the greatest wrestler alive today.
CM Punk told AJ Styles that AJ is great and has proved TNA management right in why they backed him but the reality is everything that AJ has gone through is just to set CM Punk up for his moment, Punk told AJ he is playing a role in Punk’s story and Punk couldn’t think of a better man to win his first World title from because they are the exact opposite of one another. CM Punk told AJ that he would see him next week where they will sign the contract the last contract AJ Styles will sign as the TNA champion! AJ Styles appeared on the big screen to big cheers from the crowd, Punk sarcastically waved at AJ Styles. Scott Hudson asked AJ for his response…
AJ Styles told Hudson that CM Punk’s right, he’ll see him next week when they sign the contract for their match and AJ will take that time to respond to CM Punk face to face but tonight AJ has a big match to get ready for and AJ advised Punk to watch him beat Frankie Kazarian tonight. Punk laughing told AJ that he would be watching tonight very, very closely.
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES V FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| JAMES STORM V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE…
Following footage shown from last weeks confrontation between James Storm and Michael Shane which came about after Shane issued an open challenge a recorded interview with the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm aired. Storm’s left arm was still noticeably heavily wrapped up from his No Disqualification match with Abyss. Storm said everyone in TNA wants to be the TNA champion and while others may claim otherwise no one wants to become champion more than James Storm but unlike others Storm will not piss and moan or make excuses for his set backs. Storm will show everyone just how much he wants to become the TNA champion at TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold when he throws whoever gets in his way over the top rope and becomes the top contender to the TNA title but if Storm fails, Storm will make no excuses and Storm will always come again…
MATCH 4| JAMES STORM V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE Storm’s hometown crowd as always were right behind the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm. Shane to begin the match was hesitant to lock up with Storm but it turned into a very good match between the two with Storm’s injured arm becoming a target throughout.
Michael Shane doesn’t have a lot of fans because of his arrogant attitude but there is no denying Shane’s talent in between the ropes.
Shane came close during the match following a sunset flip power bomb from the top rope but Storm kicked out at the last second. Storm thought he had won the match following his Eye of the Storm but just before 3 Alexis placed Shane’s foot on the bottom rope. Shane came back into the match and after a top rope elbow drop set Storm up for a Super kick of his own looking to add insult to injury but Storm managed to duck Shane’s Super kick before knocking Shane out with a Super kick of his own which was enough for the win.
WINNER| James Storm via pin fall James Storm up on his knees let out a huge roar after the bell. The announcers were praising Storm for coming back with a victory following his tough loss to defeat last time out as Storm rolled out of the ring and grabbed a microphone. Storm whose left arm was hanging down beside him gave a shout out to Tennessee before telling everyone that he was going to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match… NO EXCUSES!!
Mike Tenay along with Borash & Callis reacted to Storm’s comments before and after the match agreeing with Storm that every man in TNA wants to be the TNA champion the entire roster is hungry but there are a group of men who are coming of disappointment looking at using the Gauntlet for the Gold match as their chance to earn a shot at the TNA championship like James Storm but also Christopher Daniels, Chris Hero, Chris Harris and Doug Williams. Tenay said at TNA71 we would all find out truly who wants to be TNA champion most. Mike Tenay then revealed that a few more names have been added to the Gauntlet for the Gold match… BG James, Delirious, Shark Boy, Robbie Eckos, Jimmy Rave, Mamaluke, Romeo, Eric Young, Bobby Roode and Chris Sabin. Tenay wasn’t finished there and announced a big Main Event signed for TNA67 next week pitting two of the favourites in the Gauntlet for the Gold match going at it…
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA67| MAIN EVENT| CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!! HIGHLIGHTS| TNA65| BOBBY ROODE GOT HIS APOLOGY OUT OF JERRY LYNN - BEFORE REVEALING IT WAS A SET UP AND ATTACKING JERRY LYNN…
Bobby Roode and Eric Young were backstage with TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari ahead of Roode’s return to the ring and Young’s debut. Roode admitted to Daivari that he never pre planned this whole scenario he said he made a positive out of a negative and after Lynn beat Roode with his Cradle pile driver Roode was lying on his back and a light bulb went off and over the last few weeks the world has seen the real selfish, desperate Jerry Lynn and now everyone realises that Jerry Lynn never quite lived up to his potential. Also everyone saw how much of a puppet Jerry Lynn is TNA management asks Jerry Lynn to jump and he says how high. Roode again called himself the most calculated and dangerous man in TNA and said his plan went perfectly from getting his own doctors on board to involving his friend Eric Young. Roode said he has everyone’s attention now and people won’t ignore him now so maybe they’ll listen to the words that are about to come out of his mouth… Bobby Roode will win the 2003 Gauntlet for the Gold match and go on to become the TNA champion!
MATCH 5| DELIRIOUS & SHARK BOY V BOBBY ROODE & ERIC YOUNG Before the match a recorded interview aired with Delirious & Shark Boy. Delirious spoke first, well made some noises which only Shark Boy seemed to understand. Shark Boy then translated for those who don’t speak lizard. Shark Boy said under these masks are a couple of messed up kids with a dream and while TNA management’s decision hurts it could be the making of them and they will give their best to prove that they deserve to be a part of the TNA roster…
Delirious & Shark Boy tried but they were no match for Bobby Roode and the crazy Eric Young and it wasn’t long before Roode and Young picked up the victory which came after Roode pinned Shark Boy following a Spine buster.
WINNER| Bobby Roode & Eric Young via pin fall
Eric Young mounted Shark Boy after the bell and laid into Shark Boy with a few more right hands until Roode called Young off. Delirious came in to check on Shark Boy only for Eric Young to grab hold of Delirious and toss him over the top rope. Bobby Roode & Eric Young may have looked good tonight but they going to be tested very soon because they have made enemies of the first TNA tag team champions, Amazing Red & Jerry Lynn.
Up next it was time for the Main Event but before TNA champion, AJ Styles takes on Frankie Kazarian – Borash, Callis & Tenay ran through what was scheduled for next weeks show while graphics for each appeared on screen…

TRACI BROOKS Frankie Kazarian has the highest overall win rate in TNA WITH 88% winning 7 of his 8 matches his only loss coming at the hands of Doug Williams which Kazarian and Traci Brooks insultingly call the biggest upset in TNA history.
AJ Styles the TNA champion, has a an overall win rate of 79% winning 22 of his 28 matches but now after Sabin’s defeat last week AJ also has the highest win rate of anyone in Year 2 (100%) undefeated in 5 matches.
AJ & Kazarian had a very good match, viewers again tonight being treated to 3 or 4 competitive matches which was a recent complaint from some TNA fans not enough competitive matches. Kazarian proves week after week that despite his up himself character he is to be taken very seriously in the ring and has proven that he is as good as his record shows while AJ Styles is simply phenomenal.
Kazarian almost scored the biggest win of his life after AJ went for his springboard moonsault into a reverse DDT only for Kazarian to kick AJ’s leg from underneath him, AJ landed on the ropes and then Kazarian dropped AJ with a dangerous hangman’s neck breaker from the middle rope. AJ avoided Kazarian’s bicycle kick on a couple of occasions and countered Kazarian’s Wave of the Future into a brain buster but this time Kazarian kicked out. AJ landed on his feet from a Kazarian monkey flip and then instantly rocked Kazarian with his Pele kick which rocked Kazarian, AJ quickly dropped Kazarian with a standing heel kick before planting Kazarian with his Styles Clash for the victory.
WINNER| AJ Styles via pin fall Fans were on their feet in celebration of AJ Styles’ victory but also out of respect for the great match they had just witnessed between AJ and Frankie Kazarian. Traci Brooks was distraught outside of the ring as AJ had his hand raised in victory before being passed his TNA title but with that CM Punk was in the ring and Punk spun AJ around but AJ countered the Even flow DDT with a back drop.
AJ then grabbed Punk and set him up for the Styles Clash only for Frankie Kazarian to floor AJ from behind. Kazarian and Punk put the boots to the floored AJ for a couple of seconds before Chris Sabin ran out doing the right thing looking to save AJ Styles. Sabin got a few shots in on both Kazarian and Punk but then from behind Sabin was dropped from behind by his opponent next week the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels.
Daniels looked at CM Punk and Frankie Kazarian and motioned for the TNA title which annoyed Punk causing him and Daniels to exchange words but then Kazarian reminded them of the task at hand pointing at the floored AJ Styles & Chris Sabin but then the arena erupted again when Doug Williams ran out and slid into the ring. Williams dropped Punk with a high knee before tackling Kazarian to the mat; Kazarian squirmed and managed to get out of the ring and Kazarian and Brooks were out of there as soon as possible. Williams’ distraction allowed Sabin to clear the ring of Daniels following a step up enzirguri as AJ clothes lined CM Punk over the top rope.
Chris Sabin picked up the TNA title at the same time as Doug Williams and both men were holding one end of the title each while looking at one another as Christopher Daniels was shown in the aisle telling them to put his TNA title down. AJ Styles seen Sabin and Williams holding the TNA title and took it from causing some awkwardness in the ring between the three, proving everyone wants to be the TNA champion according to Mike Tenay and TNA66 went off the air with AJ Styles leaning over the ropes holding the TNA title as CM Punk screamed at AJ from the stage that the TNA title was his.

GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH| BG JAMES, JAMES STORM & RON KILLINGS V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL, CHRIS HERO & MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE...
MATCH 1| BG JAMES, JAMES STORM & RON KILLINGS V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL, CHRIS HERO & MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE (6 man tag team match) Abyss in recent weeks holds victories over BG, Killings & Storm. Storm’s left arm is still bandaged up from his brutal No-Disqualification match against ‘The Monster’. Jeremy Borash during the match noted that Storm’s injury is a lot more serious than he is letting on. Storm beat Michael Shane last week while Chris Hero impressed in victory over Ron Killings while BG James is now fighting for his career. James has been tasked with winning 5 matches before losing 5 matches and BG did not get off to a good start last week losing to Antonio Banks.
Alexis Laree was scared of Jim Mitchell at ringside, while Abyss, Chris Hero & Michael Shane made an odd team and at times you could clearly see that Abyss & Hero were not excited about having partners. Tonight was the first time BG & Killings had teamed up since Killings decided to end their team and then beat BG James in two consecutive matches.
James Storm was on fire tonight and after he caught Michael Shane with his Super kick it seemed Storm was going to lead his team to victory only for Chris Hero to drop Storm with a single arm DDT. Killings tried to take advantage of a distracted Hero looking for his Axe kick but Hero moved out of the way and pushed Killings over the top rope to the floor which would eliminate Killings in the Gauntlet for the Gold. BG James did surprise Hero with a roll up looking for a victory only for Hero to kick out at the last second and kick BG off into the awaiting arms of Abyss who planted BG James with his Black Hole Slam for the win.
WINNERS| ABYSS, CHRIS HERO & MICHAEL SHANE VIA PIN FALL BG James is now 3 losses away from losing his job and 5 victories away from keeping his job following tonight’s loss. Abyss after pinning BG James stood and seemed to head towards Chris Hero, who didn’t back down and stood his ground shouting abuse at Abyss but Jim Mitchell got in front of Abyss and calmed the situation down. Don Callis labelled Abyss the favourite to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match but admitted that Abyss clearly see’s Chris Hero as a threat. Outside of the ring Michael Shane who was out on his feet and being dragged up the aisle by Alexis Laree was celebrating like he played a major role in the finish too.
James Storm also at ringside was not happy; Storm clearly frustrated would not let officials check him over. Storm booted the ring steps before making his way up the aisle, while this was going on Ron Killings went to check on his friend and former tag team partner BG James but James ignored Killings and rolled out of the ring. Borash mentioned that Killings looked upset while Callis claimed Killings should look upset because the reason BG James is fighting for his career is because Ron Killings ditched him. Don Callis said James Storm’s doesn’t like to make excuses when he loses but tonight the reason is simple… BG James!
Backstage, Scott Hudson TNA’s newest interviewer stopped James Storm and asked Storm how his arm was a frustrated Storm told Hudson not to make excuses for him. Storm doesn’t make excuses so neither should anyone else. Storm said losing hurts bad but it will only make him stronger and hungrier. Storm said at TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold he doesn’t care if he’s the first man in or the last man in, James Storm is stepping up and becoming the next contender to the TNA title… No Excuses!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA66| MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| © AJ STYLES BEAT FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS VIA PIN FALL Footage was shown of AJ Styles beating Frankie Kazarian last week following his Styles Clash. The after match was also shown which saw CM Punk, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels & Doug Williams all get involved. TNA champion, AJ Styles was then shown backstage before footage of CM Punk, Christopher Daniels & Chris Sabin was shown from throughout the day arriving at the arena.
MATCH 2| AMAZING RED V ERIC YOUNG Video package looking at Amazing Red’s TNA career was shown before the match – Bobby Roode accompanied Eric Young to the ring before joining Borash, Callis & Tenay on commentary. Roode only shook Callis’ hand. Footage was then shown of Roode setting up and attacking Jerry Lynn a couple of weeks ago…
Roode on commentary asked where Jerry Lynn was, Roode said Lynn is too ashamed to show his face because the world now see’s him for what he truly is a weak pathetic man. Roode talked up Eric Young saying Young was a childhood friend, loyal who would take a bat to the head a bullet to the heart for Bobby Roode but admitted that Young is very short tempered. Tenay questioned whether Roode would take a bullet for Young but Roode told Tenay to concentrate on the match…
Decent match with a poor finish, Young got Red down in the corner and instead of breaking Young unloaded on Red with a number of knees and stomps before mounting Red and laying in with a number of right hands ignoring the match official only stopping when Bobby Roode entered the ring and called Young off.
WINNER| AMAZING RED VIA DQ Bobby Roode with great delight stood over Amazing Red and asked Red where Jerry Lynn was to help him. Roode then turned to leave but not before sending Young back to inflict more damage. Young adding insult to injury then planted Red in the middle of the ring with Lynn’s TKO. Borash – everyone is starting to see just how calculated and dangerous Bobby Roode can be.

EKMO FATU GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| 12 MAN| 6 TEAM| BATTLE ROYAL| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V RATS (KID KASH & YANG) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)… Mike Tenay ran through the rules of the battle royal match at ringside as the teams started making their entrance. All 12 men in the ring at once, elimination occurs when someone is thrown over the top rope and BOTH feet touch the ringside floor a team is eliminated once BOTH members of the team have been tossed over the top rope. Borash reminded everyone that the order of elimination tonight dictates the order of entry in the Tag Team Turmoil, top contenders match at TNA70…
MATCH 3| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V RATS (KID KASH & YANG) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) (12 man|6 team Battle Royal) Really exciting match - That had the fans on their feet throughout there were a number of close eliminations with partners saving partners and wrestlers holding on at the last second.
Matt Sydal was the first man eliminated after being pushed over the top rope by Roderick Strong only to land on the apron; Sydal fought Strong off but was then dumped of the apron by Kid Kash. Chase Stevens was the next to go after being eliminated by both Christian York & Joey Matthews…
Order of Elimination (Eliminated By)…
Matt Sydal (Kid Kash), Chase Stevens (Bad Street Boys), Joey Matthews (Mark Briscoe), Andy Douglas (Paul London), [The Naturals eliminated]. YANG (GREATNESS), Mark Briscoe (GREATNESS), Roderick Strong (Jay Briscoe), Austin Aries (Kid Kash), [GREATNESS eliminated]…
Final four came down to Christian York, Jay Briscoe, Kid Kash and Paul London. GREATNESS seemed to have the advantage moments earlier but the remaining men in the match worked together to eliminate Aries & Strong.
Kash set London up for his double under hook power bomb but London countered with a head scissors type move taking himself and Kash over the top rope, London luckily landed on the ring apron but Kid Kash was eliminated [RATS eliminated]. Jay Briscoe tried to capitalise but London impressively seen Briscoe coming and from the ring apron back dropped Briscoe over the top rope to the floor eliminating Jay Briscoe too [Briscoe Brothers eliminated]. Kid Kash tried to sweep London’s legs but London jumped Kash’s arm and then soccer kicked Kash in the face but the distraction allowed York to knock Paul London off the ring apron for the victory [Zero Gravity eliminated].
WINNER (WINNERS)| CHRISTIAN YORK (BAD STREET BOYS) Joey Matthews came out to celebrate victory with Christian York as Matt Sydal came out to check on his partner Paul London. Fans were on their feet at ringside for Paul London’s efforts. Bad Street Boys celebrated their victory and motioned for the TNA tag team titles. Borash praised York for taking advantage of an opportunity while Don Callis tried to stir trouble by saying York took the easy way out and took advantage of Paul London fighting off two men at ringside. Bad Street Boys now have the advantage and are one victory away from earning a second shot at the TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown).
GRAPHIC| 05.11.03| TNA70| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!! GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| CONTRACT SIGNING| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK… TNA managements on screen representative Dusty Rhodes was standing in the middle of the ring which was set up for the official contract signing between TNA champion, AJ Styles and top contender, CM Punk who earned the right to challenge AJ Styles after beating Chris Sabin back at TNA65. Rhodes before introducing either AJ or Punk made a couple of announcements. First off next weeks Main Event at TNA68 would be a 6 man tag team match pitting CM Punk, Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels against Chris Sabin, Doug Williams and TNA champion, AJ Styles! Secondly Rhodes revealed that the loser of AJ/Punk at TNA70 would be entered into the Gauntlet for the Gold match at TNA71. Rhodes then introduced CM Punk followed by AJ Styles…
CM Punk came out in shorts and a t shirt. Rhodes didn’t look impressed by Punk’s appearance. Rhodes offered his hand to Punk when Punk entered the ring but Punk just laughed in Rhodes face and they exchanged words away from the microphone until AJ Styles’ music hit in the arena. ‘The Phenomenal One’ the TNA champion made his way out to a loud ovation dressed in his usual look of AJ shirt and jeans, carrying the TNA title over his shoulder. AJ and Rhodes shook hands as AJ entered the ring.
Dusty was about to speak and explain as usual that both men could have their say once they have signed the contract but CM Punk cut Rhodes off and told Rhodes they didn’t need to hear what he was going to say they know the reason they are out here tonight and its simple to sign the contract to make their TNA championship match at TNA70 official, Punk told AJ he was about to sign his last contract as TNA champion. AJ handed Rhodes the TNA title and took Rhodes’ microphone and telling Punk that they all heard enough out of Punk last week so tonight Punk better shut up and listen to him. AJ Styles said a couple of weeks ago he heard Dusty Rhodes talking about if Punk deserves this title shot or not, Punk was nodding at AJ that he does deserve the shot. AJ mentioned last week CM Punk was out here talking about how their match was the next step in Punk’s life mission to go down in history as the greatest wrestler of all time. AJ told Punk this wasn’t about him. AJ told Punk that he didn’t care if Punk had never won a match or if Punk had won all of his matches because their match wasn’t about CM Punk it was about respect! AJ reminded everyone that CM Punk dropped him from behind a few weeks ago and if AJ wants to hold the TNA title proudly he can not let CM Punk disrespect him or the TNA championship and at TNA70, AJ is going to beat some respect into CM Punk.
CM Punk just laughed at AJ’s words before signing the contract. Punk told AJ he listened to his words but he has news for AJ, he’s wrong and noted at no point did AJ mention retaining the TNA title, Punk said AJ and everyone else knows if they were being honest with themselves that the inevitable is about to happen and at TNA70 – CM Punk would become the new TNA champion! Punk screamed at AJ to sign the contract. AJ you could tell wanted to hit Punk, Rhodes could sense it to and stepped closer to AJ putting his arm in front of him making sure AJ didn’t strike. AJ signed the contract making their TNA title match official. Punk warned AJ that he just made the biggest mistake of his life and with that pushed Dusty Rhodes into AJ before quickly planting AJ Styles with an Even flow DDT!!
Punk sat next to AJ’s fallen body for a couple of seconds until Dusty Rhodes started screaming at Punk. Punk has now twice dropped the TNA champion, AJ Styles! Punk picked up the TNA title and calmly got to his feet and stood in Rhodes’s face and while Rhodes was still lecturing Punk, Punk lifted the TNA title and told Rhodes to show some respect to the new TNA champion before calmly exiting the ring.
Dusty Rhodes and a couple of officials checked on the TNA champion, AJ Styles but AJ angry at being dropped again refused help before shouting that he was going to hurt Punk. CM Punk on two occasions now has disrespected the TNA champion and it seems either CM Punk has got into AJ’s head or/and AJ is feeling pressure of being the TNA champion according to Mike Tenay.
GRAPHIC| 12.11.03| TNA71| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD!! Following a replay of the contract signing between TNA champion, AJ Styles & CM Punk we joined the announcers at ringside for their thoughts before they turned their attention to the Gauntlet for the Gold match before introducing a video package looking at said match…
Video begin looking back at the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match held at TNA10 which was won by Christopher Daniels and in the process became the first ever TNA champion. Daniels became the TNA champion after surviving near elimination from AJ Styles before pinning Low Ki in the final stage following his Angels Wings. Jerry Lynn lasted the longest in the match at around the 40 minute mark while Abyss scored the most elimination’s with 7. Rules of the match two men enter then every 2 minutes after a new man enters until all entrants have entered. Elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown over the top rope and BOTH feet touch the floor (footage was shown of only one of Daniels’ feet touching last year). When we are down to two men the bell will ring STOPPING the match then both men will move back into their respective corners then the bell will ring again to start the final stage of the Gauntlet a one on one, one fall to a finish match and the winner will go on to face the TNA champion on the first Pay per View of 2004…
Video continued looking at the men hoping to win this years Gauntlet for the Gold match and earn the right to challenge for the TNA title. Former TNA champion, Christopher Daniels will be hoping history repeats it’s self and he can win the Gauntlet. ‘The Monster’ Abyss who regarded as the favourite by many will be looking dominate once again but this time leave with the victory. Chris Harris and James Storm both looking to break into the top tier here in TNA and overcome disappointment, Harris losing to Sting and Storm losing to Abyss are both looking to final win the big one and earn a shot at the TNA championship. Potential future greats like Doug Williams, Bobby Roode, Frankie Kazarian, Michael Shane, Amazing Red, Chris Hero, Ron Killings and Chris Sabin are looking to shock the world and step up like Christopher Daniels did last year. Jerry Lynn is still hoping to become the TNA champion before he retires, can Lynn earn another shot by winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match, then there is… ‘The Icon’ Sting! Sting the biggest name in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling is back on top form and after testing himself against the TNA roster is looking to earn the right to challenge for the TNA championship! TNA71 who will win the 2nd Gauntlet for the Gold match!!
MATCH 4| CHRIS HARRIS V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU Earlier today, Chris ‘The Wildcat’ Harris spoke with Shawn Daivari and Harris repeated many things we have heard from both Harris and his friend Norman Smiley before about how much Chris Harris loves TNA Wrestling and how he would be honoured to be the TNA champion. Harris said since losing to Sting he has gone back to the drawing board and dedicated his life to getting better and with every match since Harris has got better and come TNA71 the biggest match of his career, Harris will be ready and Chris Harris will win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and will be one step closer to realising his dream of becoming the TNA champion.
During the match TNA tag team champions, Elix Skipper & Monty Brown came to ringside and ordered Ekmo Fatu to leave ringside, which confused Banks mid match but Brown said Banks don’t need Fatu referring to last week when Banks called Fatu off attacking BG James. Brown & Skipper stayed at ringside…
Harris was too much for Banks and once Harris got his momentum there was no stopping him. Harris hit all of his usual moves back supflex, middle rope leg drop, Spear and Catatonic before locking Banks in his Texas Clover leaf for the tap out victory.
WINNER| CHRIS HARRIS VIA SUBMISSION
Chris Harris has now won his 5 matches since losing to Sting. Mike Tenay said Chris Harris can not be over looked in the Gauntlet for the Gold match but Callis said Chris Harris would just choke again on the biggest stage referring to Harris losses to Christopher Daniels and Sting.
Monty Brown and Elix Skipper entered the ring and surrounded the fallen Antonio Banks who was now on his knees. Brown told Banks that he needs to embrace Alpha Male Enterprise and play by AME’s rules. Brown without a microphone told Antonio Banks that everything they were doing was for Banks’ own good, because one day AME would be all of his, Banks is the chosen one. Brown offered his hand to Banks and Banks after thinking it other accepted Brown’s hand for Brown to pull Antonio Banks to his feet. Monty Brown, Antonio Banks and Elix Skipper embraced in the middle of the ring before they were interrupted by Dusty Rhodes’s voice…
Dusty Rhodes the onscreen representative of TNA management appeared on screen and told AME it warmed his heart to see them so tight and now they have sorted their business it was time to get down to some more important business. Rhodes said it seems over the last few weeks with the Tag Team division here in TNA fighting for the right for the next TNA tag team title shot that AME have had things a little easy but that’s about to change because TNA management are presenting a challenge to the TNA tag team champions which will see them defend their titles at TNA70 which is now being named TNA70| Make or Break! Rhodes announced that they would be defending their TNA tag team titles against, the last ECW tag team champions… Danny Doring & Roadkill! Rhodes wasn’t finished he told AME to stay at ringside and get a closer look because up next Danny Doring & Roadkill would be in action against the Smooth Stallions (Mamaluke & Romeo) the tag champs were not happy while Antonio Banks still seemed confused about what was going on between himself and AME…
MATCH 5| DANNY DORING & ROADKILL V SMOOTH STALLIONS (MAMALUKE & ROMEO) Doring and Roadkill the ‘Amish Warrior’ came out to a big ovation, a unique pairing which has gained a large cult following who respect their in ring work due to some of the classics they had at the start of the millennium over the ECW tag team titles.
Smooth Stallions first match in their fight to keep their jobs.
Alpha Male Enterprise (Antonio Banks, Ekmo Fatu, Elix Skipper and Monty Brown) stayed at ringside during the match.
Danny Doring & Roadkill impressed in their first match even in short time and scored the victory after they dropped Mamaluke with Buggy Bang top rope leg drop.
WINNERS| DANNY DORING & ROADKILL VIA PIN FALL Soon as the match was over Doring and Roadkill leaned over the ropes closest AME and motioned for the TNA tag team titles. AME looked shaken, worried but Brown dismissed Doring and Roadkill before ordering the rest of AME to retreat stopping Ekmo Fatu to whisper something in his ear who then looked back and screamed at Doring and Roadkill who continued celebrating their victory. Danny Doring and Roadkill tonight have turned the TNA tag team Division on its head.
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA68| MAIN EVENT| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH| AJ STYLES, CHRIS SABIN & DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| CHRIS SABIN V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Christopher Daniels spoke to Shawn Daivari before the match telling Daivari that after losing to AJ Styles and failing to regain the TNA title, Daniels hit an all time low so Daniels asked our Father for just one more opportunity to prove to the world that he is still the standard, that he is still God’s Gift to professional wrestling and his wish was granted… Gauntlet for the Gold! Daniels won last year he beat the entire roster to become the first ever TNA champion and this year he will do the same and he will go on to beat whoever is the TNA champion on the first show of 2004 and no one is going to be able to stop him not Sting, not James Storm, not Chris Harris, not Abyss and especially not a punk like Chris Sabin and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’, Christopher Daniels…
Stats going into tonight’s Main Event, Chris Sabin has a 62% win rate winning 8 of his 13 matches while Christopher Daniels has the tied 2nd best win rate in TNA with 79% winning 19 of his 24 matches…
Chris Sabin has impressed in year 2 so far this being his second Main Event in concession plus Sabin is apart of next weeks Main Event also, Sabin has turned his young career around and is a star on the rise…
Great match – Fans loved it. Chris Sabin is going to be a superstar while Christopher Daniels again proving why he is regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the world today. Daniels hit his Angels Wings early in the match but Sabin managed to roll out of the ring saving himself from defeat but causing himself to be fighting from underneath for the rest of the match. Sabin showed great fight and heart. Daniels thought he’d won the match after hitting Last Rites but Sabin got a shoulder up. Daniels tried to finish Sabin with his Koji clutch but Sabin countered into a tornado DDT for an unbelievable near fall. Later Daniels hit his Best Moonsault Ever and Sabin hit his Hesitation Drop kick but neither man could put the other away until Daniels caught Sabin again with his Angels Wings the second of the match and this time there was no escape for the game Chris Sabin.
WINNER| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VIA PIN FALL Fans were on their feet following the bell. Sabin and Daniels beat the hell out of each other for around 20 minutes. Sabin can be proud of taking the first ever TNA champion to the limit a man that has only ever lost to fellow TNA champions, AJ Styles & Low Ki.
Christopher Daniels celebrated the victory while Mike Tenay warned everyone not to forget or over look the man who won the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match, the man who was the TNA champion for 30 weeks – the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels. TNA67 went off the air with Daniels on his knees making the sign of the cross with his hands before motioning for the TNA championship.

what a bummer no one hasn't replied to your diaries. But anyway the rivalries are still in touch and I'm really looking forward for the Gauntlet to The Gold Match. I hope my man Sting wins this one. But if not, i'll go with Abyss or anyone in this match. Punk vs Styles should be solid too as well. Anyway hope to see you back and reply on my WWF 1993-1995 Diary.

MATCH 1| KEN ANDERSON V BOBBY ROODE W. ERIC YOUNG Ken Anderson has not been seen for 3 weeks since being beaten by Antonio Banks – Anderson looked rough and Borash mentioned the rumours that Anderson is still struggling to obey to TNA managements rules, knowing that if he messes up again Anderson will be fired from TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling.
Tonight’s match was Bobby Roode’s first singles match since setting up and attacking Jerry Lynn who has not been seen since being attacked by Bobby Roode. Roode has gained confidence from taking out one half of the first ever TNA tag team champions and it showed tonight with Roode beating Anderson in a short match following his clothesline to the back of the head.
RESULT| BOBBY ROODE VIA PIN FALL Eric Young joined Bobby Roode in the ring after the match and Young circled Anderson looking to inflict more damage when Jerry Lynn’s music hit in the arena to a huge ovation. Lynn accompanied by his partner Amazing Red stepped out on to the stage before coming for Roode & Young. Lynn took Roode down and managed to get in a few shots as Red took Young out of the ring following a head scissors – Roode managed to get away from Lynn and out of the ring and before Lynn and Red could gain full revenge a number of officials were at ringside in between the four men. Jerry Lynn was fuming in the ring while Bobby Roode was backing up the aisle with a sinister smile on his face knowing that he was in the head of the former World champion, Jerry Lynn.
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA66| MAIN EVENT| NON-TITLE MATCH| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES BEAT FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS VIA PIN FALL!!
After highlights of the brawl which broke out after the Main Event from TNA66 between TNA champion, AJ Styles, Chris Sabin & Doug Williams against Christopher Daniels, CM Punk & Frankie Kazarian, footage was shown from throughout the day of the 6 men involved in tonight’s Main Event arriving at the arena.
MATCH 2| DELIRIOUS & SHARK BOY V ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU) Delirious & Shark Boy are 0-1 in the battle to keep their jobs in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling. Delirious & Shark Boy have to win 5 matches before losing 5 matches to keep their jobs.
AME especially Ekmo Fatu who as Mike Tenay noted has been added to the Gauntlet for the Gold match at TNA71 dominated the match pretty much beat Delirious & Shark Boy. Borash believes it was AME’s way of sending another message to Antonio Banks either embrace AME or rebel against AME. Fatu pinned Delirious after a top rope splash. Following the match Antonio Banks again looked hesitant in bumping fists with AME’s hired gun Ekmo Fatu.
RESULT| ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ANTONIO BANKS & EKMO FATU) VIA PIN FALL Delirious & Shark Boy are now 3 matches away from losing their jobs, later tonight two other men fighting for their jobs - BG James and Robbie Eckos will meet in the middle of the ring.
GRAPHIC| 12.11.04| TNA71| GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD!! Video package aired hyping the Gauntlet for the Gold match set for TNA71 where the winner of the match will challenge for the TNA championship on the first Pay per View of 2004. Video went over the rules of the match before showing highlights from the first Gauntlet last year which Christopher Daniels won to become the first ever TNA champion, included was Abyss eliminating 7 men, Jerry Lynn’s impressive 40 minute stint in the match and then the controversy between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels which led to AJ’s elimination Low Ki’s injury and Christopher Daniels making history and becoming the first TNA champion. Video finished by looking towards the second Gauntlet for the Gold match and taking a look at some of the favourites to win the match including… Christopher Daniels, James Storm, Abyss, Chris Sabin, Frankie Kazarian, Doug Williams, Jerry Lynn, Chris Harris and Sting!
Christopher Daniels was backstage with TNA interviewer, Scott Hudson following the video and Daniels said it has been hard for him to accept being out of the TNA title picture but it will not last much longer because tonight he will beat the TNA champion, AJ Styles in the middle of the ring and then in 3 weeks at Gauntlet for the Gold he will create history once again when he wins the second Gauntlet for the Gold match. Daniels warned people not write him off because he is still the best wrestler in the world today, he is still the standard – the measuring stick, a man of his word who has beaten everyone put in front of him Jerry Lynn, Chris Harris, James Storm, Doug Williams, Chris Sabin, CM Punk, Low Ki, Sting and the TNA champion, AJ Styles – He is God’s Gift to professional wrestling and very soon he will once again be the TNA champion and that is the Gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
Abyss’s music hit in the arena and a few seconds later ‘The Monster’ Abyss and his evil handler Jim Mitchell walked out on to the stage where they stayed. Mitchell had a microphone in hand. Mitchell told the fans to shut and listen to him before telling everyone that Abyss is just under 7 ft tall and weighs in over 300lbs and has a black heart shows, no emotion and has no compassion. Mitchell then claimed Abyss would win the Gauntlet for the Gold match in 3 weeks and go on and become the TNA champion on the first Pay per View of 2004 but Mitchell said Abyss wouldn’t win the match because of the things he just said about Abyss – Abyss will win the Gauntlet for the Gold match through fear because everyone on the TNA roster fears Abyss, everyone is scared of ‘The Monster’. Scared because Abyss eliminated 7 men in the first Gauntlet match, scared because Abyss sent Norman Smiley into retirement, scared because Abyss beat the current TNA champion, AJ Styles, scared because Abyss ended the career of the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal – Death Defying, Sabu! Scared because everyone seen what Abyss did to the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ James Storm driving him through thumbtacks plus while James Storm will deny it Storm needs to have surgery on his left arm because of Abyss and finally scared because Abyss broke the back of former TNA champion, Low Ki the only man to have ever beat Abyss! Mitchell said everyone better pray that Abyss wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match because if he doesn’t, Mitchell asked everyone to imagine the carnage, everyone should be scared of Abyss then because even Mitchell is not confident he will be able to control Abyss if Abyss were to fail, warning that no one will be safe from Abyss so the best thing for TNA is Abyss wins the Gauntlet for the Gold match at TNA71. Mitchell finished by warning everyone Doomsday was coming!
GRAPHIC| TNA70| MAKE OR BREAK| 05.11.04| TOP CONTENDERS MATCH| TAG TEAM TURMOIL| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) V GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V RATS (KID KASH & YANG) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) V ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON)!
HIGHLIGHTS| TNA67| CHRISTIAN YORK (BAD STREET BOYS) WON A 12 MAN, (6 TEAMS) BATTLE ROYAL LASTLY ELIMINATING PAUL LONDON…
Recorded interviews aired before the match from all 6 teams in the Tag Team turmoil match. The Naturals claimed they have been screwed over now they are entering the match first but still claim that will become the next TNA tag team champions because they are naturally better than everyone else. GREATNESS have turned the TNA tag team division on it’s head and it was proved even more last week when they were ganged up on and eliminated, GREATNESS like a challenge and they will step up at TNA71 and become the next contenders to the tag titles. RATS said they were written off but now they are right back in the hunt and people have seen over the last few weeks what Kid Kash & YANG are capable of and they will do whatever it takes to become the TNA tag team champions. Briscoe Brothers claim to have built the TNA tag team division the greatest tag team division in the business and are pissed at others reaping the rewards of their hard work but at TNA70 they finally get what they deserve a shot at the TNA tag team titles. Zero Gravity believe they can beat any team in the TNA tag team division and being the last but one team in the match they are confident of their chances of becoming the next top contenders to the TNA tag team titles and while they respect Bad Street Boys, London & Sydal feel like they can beat Matthews & York and earn the next shot. Finally Bad Street Boys said they came within touching distance of beating Alpha Male Enterprise back at TNA61 so close to accomplishing their dream but now they know they can beat AME and failure is not an option the next time because they know it may be a while until their next shot so at TNA70| Make or Break it’s make or Break for Christian York & Joey Matthews!
MATCH 3| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) & ZERO GRAVITY (PAUL LONDON & MATT SYDAL) V BRISCOE BROTHERS (JAY & MARK BRISCOE) & RATS (KID KASH & YANG) (8 man tag team match) Both TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and top contenders Danny Doring & Roadkill were shown watching the match backstage ahead of their contract signing which was coming up following this match.
It was announced during the match that next week we would see GREATNESS (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong) take on The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens)!
Very good match with all 8 men, 4 teams looking good at times but it was Zero Gravity who stole the show and in the end led their team to victory after Sydal pinned YANG following his Shooting Star press.
RESULT| BAD STREET BOYS (CHRISTIAN YORK & JOEY MATTHEWS) & ZERO GRAVITY (MATT SYDAL & PAUL LONDON) VIA PIN FALL
Zero Gravity is on fire at the minute and was unlucky not to win the Battle Royal last week also before Christian York took advantage of the out numbered and distracted Paul London. A big victory tonight for London and Sydal and as they said you would fancy Zero Gravity’s chances against any team on the TNA roster. Bad Street Boys watched their partners tonight Zero Gravity celebrate their victory afterwards knowing as was pointed out by the announcers that if Bad Street Boys want to become the top contenders to the TNA tag team titles again they will likely have to go through Zero Gravity!
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH| AJ STYLES, CHRIS SABIN & DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!! GRAPHIC| 05.11.03| MAKE OR BREAK| TNA70| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!! Shawn Daivari was standing backstage with TNA champion, AJ Styles. Daivari asked AJ how he felt getting in the ring tonight with CM Punk just two weeks away from their TNA championship at TNA70| Make or Break. AJ said there is going to be fireworks when he gets in the ring with CM Punk on bon fire night. AJ admitted that CM Punk talks the talk but Punk is losing his mind if he genuinely believes he is leaving TNA70 with the TNA title. AJ told Punk this was not his story, this was not about Punk’s mission in life this was a simple story of the TNA champion being disrespected and then the TNA champion kicking a punk’s ass!
GRAPHIC| TNA70| MAKE OR BREAK| 05.11.12| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V DANNY DORING & ROADKILL!! TNA managements onscreen representative Dusty Rhodes was standing in the middle of the ring which was set up for the contract signing between TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and top contenders, Danny Doring & Roadkill. Rhodes said TNA management decided that with everything going on in the TNA title picture with AJ Styles scheduled to defend the TNA title against CM Punk and the Gauntlet for the Gold match then in the TNA tag team division the 6 best teams were fighting for the right to become the top contenders they felt like the TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise were getting off easy so TNA management decided to test AME by putting them in the ring with one of the best tag teams of the last few years the last ever ECW tag team champions - Danny Doring and Roadkill. Rhodes then introduced the challengers for the TNA tag team titles who came out in their ring gear once they were in the ring they were joined by the TNA tag team champions, Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown). Brown and Skipper were not along they were joined by fellow AME members Antonio Banks & Ekmo Fatu plus Alpha Male Security they were all in AME worldwide merchandise. Security surrounded the ring while Banks & Fatu stayed on the ring apron.
Dusty Rhodes as usual asked both teams to sign the contract before addressing their opponents. AME signed the contract first followed by Doring & Roadkill; AME shook their heads in disgust while Doring and Roadkill signed. Doring then grabbed a microphone to speak but Skipper slapped the microphone out of Doring’s hand! Doring had to hold back a fuming Roadkill. Brown & Skipper bailed out on to the ring apron, Brown who had a microphone told Doring to keep Roadkill in place but they need to understand their frustration. AME the biggest brand in the world are disgusted that TNA management would just hand out TNA tag team title shots to teams who don’t deserve an opportunity. Brown questioned Doring & Roadkill’s achievements saying being the last ECW tag team champions means nothing to them and they have beaten no one in TNA. Skipper took the microphone from Brown and screamed at Doring & Roadkill they were not a challenge and at TNA70 they will show the world once again why AME are the biggest brand in the world and why they are the greatest tag team in the world before telling Doring and Roadkill they are out of their depth with that Roadkill ran into both Brown and Skipper knocking them of the ring apron. While Roadkill was leaning over the ropes motioning for the TNA tag team titles, Ekmo Fatu entered the ring and planted Doring with a Samoan drop before rolling out of the ring. Roadkill checked on his partner as AME backed up the aisle. Danny Doring & Roadkill now know that when they challenge for the TNA tag team titles at TNA70| Make or Break they will not just be fighting Elix Skipper & Monty Brown but all of Alpha Male Enterprise.
GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| CHRIS HARRIS V RON KILLINGS…
MATCH 4| CHRIS HARRIS V RON KILLINGS Chris Harris has won his last 5 matches while Ron Killings after a promising start to his singles career following his split from BG James has only won 1 of his last 5 matches, losing his last 3.
Losing to Sting at TNA58 may have been the making of Chris Harris the loss to Sting was another set back for Harris to deal with following twice losing to then TNA champion, Christopher Daniels plus dealing with the death of his friend Curt Hennig and having to overcome injury but since the Sting defeat there has been a difference in Harris and Harris now according to many is ready and once Harris wins that one big match there will be no stopping Chris Harris from achieving his dream of becoming the TNA champion.
Harris and Killings had a good match which the fans were in too; both Harris and Killings have the potential to go on and one day become the TNA champion and either with a win tonight could carry on that momentum into the Gauntlet for the Gold match and it was Harris that came away with the victory after he smashed Killings with a Spear when Killings had Harris set up for his Axe kick, Harris then trapped Killings in his Texas Cloverleaf for the submission victory.
RESULT| CHRIS HARRIS VIA TAP OUT Chris Harris after the match helped Ron Killings to his feet and the two shook hands as the announcers again praised Harris but warned that if Harris’ doesn’t win his next big challenge the Gauntlet for the Gold match, there may be no coming back for Chris Harris. Tenay hyped that BG James, Ron Killings partner would be in action next before Jeremy Borash wondered whether Killings was now regretting breaking up the team because BG is fighting for his job while Ron Killings may not be progressing as fast as he would have hoped.
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT| 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH| AJ STYLES, CHRIS SABIN & DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS!!
GRAPHIC| 05.11.03| MAKE OR BREAK| TNA70| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!! CM Punk was standing by backstage with TNA interviewer, Shawn Daivari so Punk could respond to TNA champion, AJ Styles’ comments earlier tonight. Punk agreed that he does talk a good talk but AJ Styles is truly in denial if he honestly does not believe his reign as TNA champion is in jeopardy. Punk claims if everyone was being honest with themselves, everyone knows that at 2 weeks at TNA70| Make or Break it will be the making of CM Punk when he beats AJ Styles in the middle of the ring to become the new TNA champion and Punk warned AJ that if AJ is truly that stupid that he doesn’t realise that his title reign is coming to an end he will by the end of tonight.
Mike Tenay noted that next week, one week before their TNA championship match at TNA70| Make or Break we would take a special look at both AJ Styles and CM Punk’s story heading into their title match.
MATCH 5| BG JAMES V ROBBIE ECKOS (BG James 0-2 – Robbie Eckos 0-0) BG James and Robbie Eckos are both fighting for their jobs tonight is Eckos first match in the challenge while BG James has already lost his first two matches.
Eckos even though he is yet to win a match here in TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling was fuming when he was told he would have to fight to keep his job, claiming that he is money, a superstar, a future TNA champion and Box Office!
Eckos scored one of the biggest upsets in TNA history in his tenth attempt finally winning his first match over the much more experienced BG James. BG had Eckos set up for his Pump handle slam but Eckos turned into BG back dropped him and then sat down on BG pinning BG but Eckos also behind the referees back grabbed hold of the ropes for extra leverage.
WINNER| ROBBIE ECKOS VIA PIN FALL Robbie Eckos rolled straight out of the ring and ran back up the aisle shouting that he was not a loser that he is Box Office while BG James sat against the ropes looking heartbroken knowing that if he doesn’t win the Gauntlet for the Gold match - BG James will be one match away from losing his job!
Mike Tenay, Jeremy Borash & Don Callis hyped next weeks pay per view TNA69 and announced the following for the show as graphics appeared on screen…
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA69| JERRY LYNN V CHRIS HERO!! GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA69| STING SPEAKS!! Tenay hyped that on the last stop before the Gauntlet for the Gold match for the entrants of the Gauntlet for the Gold match ‘The Icon’ Sting will be in the arena to speak on the Gauntlet for the Gold match and his chance of earning the right to challenge the TNA champion on the first Pay per View of 2004. Plus so much more to be signed with all the favourites to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match scheduled to be in attendance next week.
Video package aired looking at the rivalry between Doug Williams and Frankie Kazarian which all started at TNA50| Coming of Age. Since then we have seen Doug Williams beat Frankie Kazarian in a result Kazarian and Traci Brooks calls the biggest upset in TNA history. Kazarian has evened the score since not only pinning Doug Williams but also giving Williams a concussion after knocking Williams out with a bicycle kick.
TNA Interviewer Shawn Daivari was standing by backstage with Chris Sabin ahead of tonight’s Main Event. Daivari mentioned how tonight was Sabin’s 3rd Main Event of the month which is also Sabin’s first Main Events. Daivari brought up how while Sabin has recently been on fire – Daivari asked Sabin if this opportunity has come to soon as Sabin is yet to win any of his Main Event opportunities. Sabin joked with Daivari that he just put added pressure on his shoulders going into tonight’s Main Event. Sabin realises that he still has a lot to learn but he’s earned the right to be in the ring with the best in the business today like Christopher Daniels, CM Punk and TNA champion, AJ Styles plus Sabin knows the victories will come could come tonight Sabin could even shock Daivari and win the Gauntlet for the Gold match because if you haven’t heard Sabin is pretty damn sick and one chilled out dude who is having fun proving to the world that he belongs at this level…
MATCH 6| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPION| AJ STYLES, CHRIS SABIN & DOUG WILLIAMS V CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN W. TRACI BROOKS (6 man tag team match) AJ Styles wanted to get his hands on CM Punk before the bell but Punk just stood back in his corner smugly as Chris Sabin & Doug Williams held AJ back and then while Christopher Daniels was talking trash to the 3 men telling them he was coming for the TNA title that allowed Frankie Kazarian to get a cheap shot in on Doug Williams before bailing out of the ring.
All 6 men in this match have made their intentions clear that they all want the TNA championship and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if on the first Pay per View of 2004 2 of these 6 men were facing off over the TNA championship.
Great match with all 6 men getting the opportunity to impress. AJ’s focus on getting his hands on CM Punk was almost his downfall at times with Daniels in particular wanting to beat AJ more than anyone else due to their rich history. Sabin almost scored his biggest victory to date after spiking Daniels with his Cradle shock only for Kazarian to break up the cover at the last second.
Towards the finish Sabin smacked Punk with his Hesitation Drop kick but then turned into Angels Wings from Christopher Daniels who was then himself taken down by a standing heel kick from AJ. AJ still wanted to get his hands on Punk who was now outside of the ring, AJ dove over the top rope only for Punk to move out of the way causing AJ to splatter on the ringside floor while in the ring Doug Williams had finally gotten his hands on Kazarian and after nailing Kazarian in the head with a number of knees Williams drilled Kazarian with his Chaos Theory only for Punk to break up the match winning cover by taking out Williams’ leg and once Williams was up and found who else was in the ring it was too late because Punk spiked Williams with his Even flow DDT for the victory.
RESULT| CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, CM PUNK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN VIA PIN FALL While Traci Brooks checked on Frankie Kazarian’s face and Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels and Doug Williams were feeling the effects of a tough match. CM Punk stepped out on to the ring apron and looked down on the fallen TNA champion, AJ Styles who was being checked over by the match official. Punk shouted down at AJ that now AJ knows it’s all coming to an end at TNA70. Punk was screaming at AJ that he was going to break him.
Mike Tenay who originally said that AJ’s TNA title reign would either make or break him said that for AJ Styles it all comes down to one match at TNA70| Make or Break for AJ Styles, will AJ rise to the challenge once again or are we all apart of CM Punk’s journey to go down in history as the greatest off all time but to do that Punk will have to beat AJ Styles at TNA70 to become the new TNA champion.
TNA68 went off the air with AJ Styles still being seen to as CM Punk stood on the ring apron above AJ Styles shouting – GREATEST OFF ALL TIME!!

TNA68! Lets go! Bobby Roode beating Ken Anderson is fine in the opener, I feel bad for ANNNDDERRRSONNNN... ANNNDDDERRRRSON. Odd stuff coming afterward, a bit confusing but we'll see what comes of it later on I suppose. Delirious and Shark Boy going 0-2 in keeping their jobs now, but I don't see them losing them. That, or they push it to the end. Adrenalinerushadrenalinerush, we got ourselves a big Gauntlet for the Gold match set for TNA71! Lets go Sting! I see him as the favorite, certainly. Not Christopher Daniels, despite his confidence in his interview. A good promo from Jim Mitchell in regards to Abyss, forewarning doomsday. I always liked Abyss but I don't view him as a possible winner in Gauntlet for the Gold. Perhaps a feud with Sting? That'd be interesting at this point. A bit of a botch on the result for the four team tag match, but a good win for Zero Gravity. That'd be quite an exciting team. I'm sure I've said that before. Interesting stage set via the contract signing for the TNA Tag Team Championship match. Roadkill and Danny Doring, I hope, don't win the match at TNA 70. Chris Harris getting thew in over Ron Killings is good, I'm really curious as to what is going to happen with Killings and his former partner, whom loses next, in BG James. 3LK! 3LK! 3LK! Finally, a big time main event six man tag team match with CM Punk getting the victory at the end of it all, in the best decision to keep him looking strong. That match between him and AJ Styles will be grand. A good show.

TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION WRESTLING…
Mike Tenay alongside Don Callis and Jeremy Borash at ringside welcomed everyone watching to TNA69 the last stop for the entrants in the Gauntlet for the Gold match which will take place in 2 weeks at TNA71| Gauntlet for the Gold plus tonight would also be the last stop for everyone involved in TNA70| Make or Break next week where both the TNA title and TNA tag team titles will be on the line on the same night for the first time ever plus the next top contenders to the TNA tag team titles will be determined.
James Storm’s music hit in the arena for tonight’s opening match and the ‘Tennessee Cowboy’ came out to a huge ovation. Storm with his left arm still bandaged and there are a number of reports going around that Storm is delaying surgery because surgery would mean missing out on the Gauntlet for the Gold match.
MATCH 1| JAMES STORM V ERIC YOUNG Really good match to kick of the show, Eric Young in only his second match really brought the fight to Storm throughout focusing on Storm’s injured arm. Hard hitting match and Young the best friend of Bobby Roode is tough man. Young scored a great near fall after blocking Storm’s Super kick and dropping Storm with a single arm DDT. Storm managed to pick up the victory even though he was hurt after Young missed a charge in the corner and hit the turnbuckle hard and Storm quickly rolled Young up for the 3 count.
RESULT| JAMES STORM VIA PIN FALL Eric Young straight after the bell was up and Young jumped on Storm who was still down getting some shots in on Storm’s injured arm before the match official pulled the short tempered Young off Storm but Young wasn’t done and he went back for Storm only for James Storm to drop Eric Young with his Super kick knocking Young out cold! Fans were on their feet as Storm rolled out of the ring…
TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari spoke with James Storm at ringside as Storm leaned on the ring apron holding his injured left arm/shoulder. Daivari said it was pretty clear that the rumours are true that Storm was carrying a serious injury going into the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Daivari asked Storm whether it would be wiser to get healthy and come back another day. Storm told Daivari that there may not be another day and right now Storm is close to getting everything he has ever wanted all he has to do is win the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Daivari mentioned that was easier said than done. Storm said he was not backing down from a challenge and in 2 weeks he is going to step up to the plate like he did at TNA50| Coming of Age when he led Team TNA to victory and he’s going to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and earn the right to face the TNA champion…. No Excuses!
Announcers at ringside praised the determination of James Storm, they agreed that they normally would have made Storm one of the favourites to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match but with the injury they can not see Storm pulling it out of the back. They then hyped the rest of tonight’s card while graphics appeared on the screen while also announcing that we would have a special look at both top contender, CM Punk and TNA champion, AJ Styles ahead of their TNA championship match next week plus finally tonight we would also hear from ‘The Icon’ Sting!
GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| JERRY LYNN V CHRIS HERO!! GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| AMAZING RED V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL!! GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| DOUG WILLIAMS V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE!! GRAPHIC| TONIGHT| GREATNESS (AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG) V THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS)!! GRAPHIC| UP NEXT| CHRIS SABIN V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU… Highlights aired from last weeks contract signing for next weeks TNA tag team championship match between Alpha Male Enterprise (Elix Skipper & Monty Brown) and Danny Doring & Roadkill. After AME slapped (Doring) and insulted both men saying they didn’t deserve a title shot Roadkill knocked both Brown & Skipper of the ring apron but that allowed Ekmo Fatu to drop Doring with a Samoan Drop showing that when you are challenging for the TNA tag team titles you are not only fighting Brown & Skipper but the entire AME brand.
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA70| MAKE OR BREAK| TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP| © ALPHA MALE ENTERPRISE (ELIX SKIPPER & MONTY BROWN) V DANNY DORING & ROADKILL!!
MATCH 2| CHRIS SABIN V ANTONIO BANKS W. EKMO FATU Ekmo Fatu was not the only one out with Antonio Banks tonight, TNA tag team champions Elix Skipper & Monty Brown along with Alpha Male Security were also out at ringside. There is still a little bit of tension within AME because Brown & Skipper don’t believe that Antonio Banks has fully embraced AME as of yet.
Been a tough month for Chris Sabin taking part in 3 Main Events and coming up short in great matches against the likes of the first ever TNA champion, Christopher Daniels and current top contender, CM Punk. Sabin looked to have learnt from those defeats and looked good tonight against Antonio Banks who is also improving with every match.
Danny Doring & Roadkill showing they are not intimidated by the numbers of AME came to ringside and tried to get their hands on the TNA tag team champions. AME Security tried to stop Doring & Roadkill but they ploughed right through them but it did allow Ekmo Fatu to get Brown and Skipper away from harm. Everything happening outside of the ring distracted Banks and allowed Sabin to hit a tornado DDT before putting Banks away with his Cradle shock.
RESULT| CHRIS SABIN VIA PIN FALL
AME were fuming on the stage with Ekmo Fatu having to hold Elix Skipper & Monty Brown back as Danny Doring & Roadkill were in the aisle challenging AME to a fight and motioning for the TNA tag team titles while Chris Sabin celebrated his victory in the ring. Sabin’s had a strong second year here in TNA and maybe the recent high profile losses could be the making of Chris Sabin and the chilled out entertainer may well be a dark horse to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match.
Backstage – TNA Interviewer, Scott Hudson was standing by with Chris Harris getting the ‘Wildcat’s’ thoughts on the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Harris told Hudson that the Gauntlet for the Gold match is the most important match of his career and Harris is calling it a must win match. Harris has come close before to breaking into the top tier here in TNA but to no avail however this time it is different and he is different and Harris will not accept failure in 2 weeks Harris will earn the right to challenge for the TNA championship on the first show of 2004 and on that night Chris Harris will become the new TNA champion and the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling.
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA70| MAKE OR BREAK| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!! Video package and interview aired with top contender to the TNA title, the ‘Straight Edge Superstar’ CM Punk. Home footage of a teenage Punk wrestling with his brother and friends in his back garden in Chicago was shown as was Punk competing for some small independent promotions primarily across the Midwest. Punk training for his TNA championship in the gym he started in - the ‘Steel Dominion’ wrestling school and gym was then shown too before footage of CM Punk in TNA played looking at some of Punk’s most impressive moments like beating Chris Sabin in the top contenders match while footage of Punk’s beating of Raven was mentioned but not shown as TNA management have vowed to never air footage of the brutal and disgusting attack of Raven at the hands of CM Punk.
CM Punk then spoke with TNA cameras from Steel Dominion. Punk said he gets that people don’t like him and he understands why he’s outspoken, rebellious, rude, selfish among other flaws but Punk is like that on purpose because Punk see’s them as tools along with being ‘Straight Edge’ to get what he wants to achieve his mission in life of becoming the greatest off all time. Punk no’s how arrogant and delusional that sounds and he gets that many others have said the same thing before him but Punk is different and that’s what people need to remember, Punk’s entire life from an early age (a photograph was shown of a young CM Punk standing next to Stone Cold Steve Austin) everything he does, everything he says, everything he thinks about is to help him accomplish his goal. Punk admitted that AJ Styles is ‘phenomenal’ but 69 shows a go TNA took gambled on AJ and it paid off for them eventually and now AJ is seen as the face of TNA Total Non-Stop Action wrestling but more importantly AJ Styles by being the TNA champion is recognised as the best wrestler in the world today and Punk could not think of a better person to win his first TNA title from and that’s what is going to happen, next week live on Pay per View – TNA70| Make or Break it will be the making of CM Punk when he breaks AJ Styles heart and becomes the new TNA champion! Punk finished by telling everyone this is CM Punk’s world, CM Punk’s story and everyone else is just a part of it!
GRAPHIC| NEXT WEEK| TNA70| MAKE OR BREAK| MAIN EVENT| TNA CHAMPIONSHIP| © AJ STYLES V CM PUNK!!
MATCH 3| AMAZING RED V ABYSS W. JIM MITCHELL Highlights from TNA10| Gauntlet for the Gold aired before the match showing ‘The Monster’ Abyss’ dominant performance where Abyss eliminated 7 men including tonight’s opponent Amazing Red and making it to the final 4 where Abyss was eliminated by AJ Styles & Low Ki.
Amazing Red one half of the first ever TNA tag team champions was giving up a lot of size and weight to Abyss but Red has a lot of heart and Red brought the fight to Abyss and managed to stay out of harms way for a while but after catching Red coming of the top rope with a Choke slam it wasn’t long after that Abyss put Red away following his Black Hole Slam.
RESULT| ABYSS VIA PIN FALL The announcers questioned who could stop Abyss from winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match, not only is Abyss the biggest and strongest man in the match he is also a completely different monster from the one that took part in the first Gauntlet for the Gold match which Abyss too dominated. Abyss has only ever lost one match to former TNA champion, Low Ki but Abyss got the last laugh by breaking the back of Low Ki and possibly ending Low Ki’s career. Abyss also is responsible for ending the careers of Norman Smiley and Sabu plus he holds victories over the likes of Chris Harris, James Storm, CM Punk and current TNA champion, AJ Styles. Abyss has to be considered the odds on favourite to win the second Gauntlet for the Gold match.
Scott Hudson was now standing by backstage with the winner of the first ever Gauntlet for the Gold match the first ever TNA champion, ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels, getting Daniels thoughts on the second Gauntlet for the Gold match. Daniels told Hudson that he has done all of his talking he has told everyone time and time again that he is the best in the world, that he is the standard, the measuring stick and God’s Gift to professional wrestling. Daniels has also told everyone that he will make history once again in 2 weeks at TNA71 and if people still don’t want to believe him then they will be made to look stupid again. Daniels said he looks naked without the TNA title and the TNA title is not as prestigious when it is not around the waist of the ‘Fallen Angel’ so Daniels is going to change that he will win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and then on the first Pay per View of 2004 it all begins again when Daniels faces and beats either AJ Styles or CM Punk two men Daniels has beaten before and becomes the TNA champion for a second time and that is the gospel according to the ‘Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels!
Elsewhere backstage TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari was backstage with Doug Williams ahead of Williams’ match against Michael Shane. Williams had just watched Daniels’ comments. Daivari asked Williams for his thoughts on the Gauntlet for the Gold match. Williams told Daivari he was frustrated ever since it’s kicked off with Frankie Kazarian, Williams hasn’t been on top form but accepting that is the first step back and tonight Williams is going to kick Michael Shane’s head in and then Williams is going to win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and guarantee a future shot at the TNA title and then with no distractions Williams is going to finally get Kazarian back in the ring and settle their issue once and for all…
MATCH 4| DOUG WILLIAMS V MICHAEL SHANE W. ALEXIS LAREE Michael Shane came out with Alexis Laree and they were both wearing Gauntlet for the Gold 2004 winner t shirts. Michael Shane like Christopher Daniels at TNA10 maybe one that people are overlooking incorrectly and could shock everyone by winning the Gauntlet for the Gold match.
Good match between two of the more promising stars on the TNA roster. Big things are expected of Doug Williams while Michael Shane the cousin of the great Shawn Michaels also has a lot more potential than people first realised. Both men came close tonight to victory but in the end it was Williams who got back to winning ways after pinning Shane following his Chaos Theory.
RESULT| DOUG WILLIAMS VIA PIN FALL Return to form for Doug Williams tonight who has proven in the past on his night when his heads right, Doug Williams is as good as anyone in the business today. As Doug Williams had his hand lifted in victory, Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks appeared on the big screen alongside TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari…
Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks who as usual now were both wearing pin stripes, Kazarian mockingly applauded Doug Williams’ victory over Michael Shane. Kazarian told Doug Williams that earlier tonight Williams blamed Kazarian for Williams not having a great run recently but the truth is Kazarian the man who needs no hype has just exposed Doug Williams for what he truly is and when Kazarian said Doug Williams beating him was the biggest upset in TNA history Kazarian meant it. Kazarian continued and brought up the announcers throughout the show mentioning the likes of Williams, James Storm, Chris Harris, Chris Sabin and Sting as possible winners of the Gauntlet for the Gold match but a miracle would have to happen for any of them names to win the match or for this to be a fairytale but it isn’t it’s reality and the reality is Frankie Kazarian the ‘Modern Day Man’, the ‘Pin Stripe Pin Up’, the ‘New Millennium Wrestler’ will be adding another name to his list when he becomes 2004 Gauntlet for the Gold winner! Kazarian told Williams he would see him in 2 weeks if Doug Williams hasn’t already been eliminated by that point. Kazarian then gave Williams a sarcastic thumb up. Doug Williams kicked the ropes in anger; Williams can not wait to get his hands on Frankie Kazarian.

Video package aired looking at the rivalry between Jerry Lynn and Bobby Roode. Lynn beat Roode back at TNA57 and in the process it seemed Lynn had seriously injured Roode after dropping Roode on his head with his Cradle pile driver but it all turned out to be a set up. Bobby Roode had his own personal doctor lie about his well being, involved his friend Eric Young and threatened to sue TNA wrestling if Lynn did not apologise. TNA65 – Lynn and Roode met in the middle of the ring and Roode convinced Lynn he was seriously hurt even crying at one point which brought a genuine apology from Lynn only for Roode to reveal he had set Jerry Lynn up after attacking Lynn from behind.

Lynn said he has been in this business for years now and he has always had his guard up but Bobby Roode brought it crumbling down around him. Lynn told Hudson that he was going to hurt the con artist Bobby Roode and next time it would not be an accident and only then, will Bobby Roode be out of Lynn’s system…
MATCH 5| JERRY LYNN V CHRIS HERO Jerry Lynn’s first match since challenging for the TNA championship at TNA63 while this was only Chris Hero’s fourth match in TNA and Hero has made quite an impact in his time here in TNA and most of that is due to his actions outside of the ring, attacking Shane Douglas and intimidating Roddy Piper.
Lynn and Hero had a very good match, which the fans were into right behind Jerry Lynn. Chris Hero is ruthless and so experienced for his years in the business.
Lynn and Hero were both down when Eric Young ran out and jumped on the ring apron which distracted the match official. Bobby Roode then came through the crowd and went to get in the other side of the ring only for Lynn to knock Roode of the ring apron. Lynn then knocked Young of the ring apron but when he turned around Lynn turned into a Roaring Elbow from Chris Hero. Hero then covered Lynn for the biggest win of his career.
RESULT| CHRIS HERO VIA PIN FALL Jerry Lynn was out cold the match official checked on the fallen Lynn as Eric Young helped Bobby Roode to his feet outside of the ring. Roode leaned under the bottom rope and screamed at Jerry Lynn he was going to take him apart piece by piece a couple of officials then came out and escorted Bobby Roode & Eric Young from ringside.
Chris Hero moments after scoring the biggest victory of his career were joined in the ring by TNA Interviewer, Shawn Daivari. Daivari congratulated Hero on his victory and was mentioning Bobby Roode’s interference when Hero pulled the microphone to his mouth. Hero told Daivari not to make any excuses for Jerry Lynn because 2 weeks away from Gauntlet for the Gold everyone watching has just saw Chris Hero knock out former World champion, former TNA tag team champion and the man who lasted the longest in the first Gauntlet, Jerry Lynn. Hero said he has come into TNA and his has spit in the face of reputation and accomplishments and name value. Hero sent Shane Douglas out of TNA, he intimidated the Roddy Piper he beat the crap out of Sting and now he has just knocked out Jerry Lynn. Hero believes that people have been overlooking him in the build up to the Gauntlet – Hero said no one will overlook him now. Hero vowed to Daivari that he would win the Gauntlet for the Gold match and become the top contender to the TNA championship!
