I really, really like this idea. Turn TNA into what they have claimed to be: the no-BS alternative to WWE, not WCW '98. Just don't turn it into ROH lite. That seems to happen to every single diary here at one point or another.

Those hirings are definately interesting, and the firings are equally great. Can't wait for a show, patriot. Does that merit a reply to my ECW diary?

I'm going to be completely honest with you...
When I first read the opening backstory. I wasn't all that interested and thought it was just going to be another TNA diary, like a lot of the others I read and either don't enjoy, or they end up dying.
But after reading some of the new stuff, the new hirings, firings, belts, etc. I'm really interested in seeing what ideas your encorporate with TNA.
I can't wait to see some shows up and see what Cornette's new ideas are. I'll definitely be reading.

Why Patriot, why ?! Janetty proved last year he can still go. Puder's good, just needs to develop more pure talent. And I'm interested to see how Bison Smith's gonna come into play. Victory Road looks strong, too.

*note: At the last minute, Matt Sydal, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong were called to Japan to compete in the Dragon Gate promotion, but we think their replacements will do an excellent job on their behalf.

Low-Ki defeated Andy Douglas with a Double Stomp. ** 1/2 Notes: Homicide was ringside watching Low-Ki, but left as he was getting the pin. After the match, Douglas was bleeding from the mouth and had to be helped to the back by TNA Officials. A video starts the official Pay per View broadcast. Set to “Get out of My Life” by Rebel Meets Rebel, the video starts at the Impact! Zone, with the doors locked, and the sign “Closed until Future Notice”. We then see the end of the King of the Mountain Match at Slammiversary, with the controversy involving Jarrett, Zbyszko, and Hebner, and then Cornette taking the title away from Jarrett at the end of the show. Then another shot of the locked doors, and then inside Cornette’s office, where he’s seen physically tearing some contracts up… then, the TNA announcer says “In a Gauntlet for the Gold, it’s every man for himself…”, as the lock and chain fly off the closed Impact! Zone doors, and zooms inside to see the crowd; it is time for Victory Road! Caprice Coleman defeated Jerrelle Clark, Milano Collection AT, and Scorpio Sky in a Four Corners X-Division Showcase. *** Order of Elimination: Jerrelle Clark (pinned by Scorpio Sky), Milano (pinned by Caprice Coleman), Scorpio Sky (pinned by Caprice Coleman). Notes: The crowd was behind Jerrelle while he was in the match, as he was the only one the Florida crowd was familiar with. By the end of the match, though, these high fliers had really won the crowd over. After the final pinfall, Caprice offered his hand to Scorpio, and the two shook. “Represent” by Bubba Sparxxx plays as we get a better look at the new tag team The Bulldogs. You see them in a small high school gym, working each other on wrestling mats. The two men are sweating profusely. Vordell looks at Mack and tells him that it’s time to really start working. They start working on building a ring inside the small gym. Removing the wrestling mat and carrying heavy metal beams and pieces of board, until they’ve built the ring. They’re now working on their moves against two decent sized men. Suplexes, and clotheslines, and… bulldogs. At the end, as they’re so tired they can barely stand… The Bulldogs defeated David Young and Elix Skipper when Vordell Walker pinned David Young with a Dragon Suplex. ** Notes: The Bulldogs really just rode the hell out of the men that used to be the Diamonds in the Rough. Wasn’t a very long match at all, and by the end of it, the entire crowd was barking along with the Bulldogs. This crowd was definitely impressed by these two. Daniel Puder defeated Jay Lethal with a Key Lock. * 1/2 Notes: Puder came out with Tom Howard in his corner, and wore a mouth piece. He really dominated the entire match using a mixed martial arts style. After mounting Lethal and smashing him repeatedly with punches, he slapped on the Key Lock. After Lethal tapped out, Puder continued kneeing him in the back, and then spit his mouth piece out at him. Alex Shelley defeated L.A. Park with a Shellshock. *** 1/2 Notes: Match of the Night. These two had a lengthy sequence of matwork, and then were able to work in some comedy. Park seemed to take the match in hand, and had the win almost surely wrapped up, but Shelley was able to counter a fireman’s carry into the Shellshock for the victory. Shelley reacted to the win like he’d just won game 7 of the World Series. He climbed into the crowd to try to celebrate, but after a fan slapped him on the back, he ran back out of the crowd area and started complaining to security about fan violence. Chris Sabin defeated Kevin Nash with a rollup. * Notes: A slower match, with Nash dominating most of the match, until he went for the Jackknife and Sabin was able to counter it with a Hurricanrana. Sabin then took advantage and was able to cradle Nash for the pinfall win! Afterwards, Sabin threw Nash’s “Size Matters” shirt at Nash as he retreated from the ringside area! Sabin showed Nash that the size of the fight in the dog is more important than the size of the dog! The people involved in the Gauntlet for the Gold were involved in a video segment set to “Somebody” by Blue October. Samoa Joe won the Gauntlet for the Gold. ** Samoa Joe won the NWA World Heavyweight Title.Order of Entry: 1. Bison Smith, 2. Abyss, 3. Monty Brown, 4. Marty Jannetty, 5. Bobby Roode, 6. Sting, 7. Sean Morely, 8. Ron Killings, 9. Rhino, 10. Jeff Jarrett, 11. Raven, 12. Jeff Hardy, 13. Christopher Daniels, 14. Chris Harris, 15. Sean O’Haire, 16. Christian Cage 17. Samoa Joe, 18. AJ Styles, 19. James Storm, 20. Scott Steiner Order of Elimination: 1. Abyss (by Bison Smith), 2. Marty Jannetty (by Monty Brown), 3. Bobby Roode (by Ron Killings), 4. Sean Morely (by Sting), 5. Rhino (by Jeff Jarrett), 6. Raven (by Jeff Hardy), 7. Chris Harris (by Christian Cage), 8. Monty Brown (by Christian Cage), 9. Sean O’ Haire (by Christopher Daniels), 10. AJ Styles (by Scott Steiner), 11. Bison Smith (by Jeff Jarrett), 12. Christopher Daniels (by Sting), 13. Christian Cage (by Samoa Joe), 14. James Storm (by Jeff Jarrett), 15. Ron Killings (by Jeff Jarrett), 16. Sting (by Samoa Joe), 17. Jeff Hardy (by Jeff Jarrett), 18. Jeff Jarrett (by Samoa Joe), 19. Scott Steiner (by Samoa Joe) Notes: The mystery man was “The Man of Steele” Sean Morely! The last 5 men in the ring were Samoa Joe, Sting, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, and Jeff Hardy. And when it got down to just Joe, Steiner, and Jarrett, Samoa Joe was outnumbered. However, a mistake by Jarrett allowed him to lose his bearings for just a second, but that was enough to be tossed by Samoa Joe. Which brought it down to Samoa Joe and Scott Steiner, for the NWA World Title. They brawled all over the ring, and Steiner tried to throw Joe and take the title, but Joe reversed the momentum and Joe was able to toss Scotty over the top rope, to win the title! Samoa Joe celebrated, without wrestlers or fans rushing the ring, but alone… the lone wolf. It fit him.

Man... this is really good. Victory Road was excellent. I can't wait to read Joe/Shelley. I expect Joe to retain.

Samoa Joe defeated Alex Shelley with the Kokina Clutch. ** 1/2 Samoa Joe retains the NWA World Heavyweight Title (First Defense).Notes: Joe came to the ring with both titles. Shelley and Joe worked back and forth on the match for the early segments, until Shelley misjudged a dropkick. Joe just took command from there, hitting all of his moves, the Facewash, the Muscle Buster, and finally getting the tapout with the Kokina Clutch to retain the title. As Samoa Joe was leaving the ring, Jim Cornette actually stops him. He congratulated Samoa Joe on his World Title victory at Victory Road. However, he has some announcements, and one concerns Mr. Joe… and that other title he’s holding. He asks for the X-Division Title and Joe hands it to him. But the title won’t stay vacant for long, because next week, on Impact, we will crown a brand new champion! Speaking of Impact, the deal has just been confirmed today, starting next week; Impact will be 2 hours, live, each and every week! Impact! got its first look at the Fight Club, Sean O’Haire, Daniel Puder, and Tom Howard, set to “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace. They’re shown in a MMA gym working out, punching bags, sparring with partners, etc… ended with them standing together, saying TNA doesn’t know how to handle true Mixed Martial Artists like them, and they’ll be at Impact! next week, to make an Impact of their own! Bison Smith defeated Norman Smiley with a Lariat. ** Notes: This was a squash. After the victory, Smith hit a Claw Slam on Smiley to really rub the point in. Jeremy Borash is backstage with Jeff Jarrett and the Alpha Male, Monty Brown. Jarrett says that in the days since Slammiversary, it’s been a controversy, with the point being to keep him away from what’s rightfully his, and that’s the NWA World Heavyweight Title. However, just because Cornette and the suits with the money want him to step aside, he’s not going to. So if he can’t take back his World Heavyweight Title, he, and his hired gun Monty Brown, can take on two of the “chosen boys”, the Phenomenal Angels at Hard Justice, take those World Tag Team Titles, and show everyone that he can’t just be brushed aside… that he plays by his own rules and takes what he wants, when he wants! Jeff Jarrett and Monty Brown defeated Sting and Ron Killings when Monty Brown pinned Sting with the Pounce. ** 1/2 Notes: Abyss hit Sting with the Black Hole Slam before Brown hit the Pounce to pick up the victory. After the match, Abyss, Jarrett, and the Alpha Male continued to beat down Sting and Killings, until the Phenomenal Angels hit the ring to make the save! Outnumbered, the heels retreated. AJ took the microphone after the match and told them they were on for Hard Justice! MATCHES ANNOUNCED FOR HARD JUSTICE:
