TNA: The New Leader in 'Sports Entertainment'?

[DB]

yeah can do that. I do actually make up extra segements cause you only get 11 segments in EWR, but i will add the ratings of all segments that are in ewr

 

[Misanthrope]

Yeah, I do the same for my diary

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Briscoes losing this early in their TNA tenure?

 

[DB]

I thought it was too early to give them the belts, if i choose to give it to them.

 

[Misanthrope]

I don't see any problem with them losing upon their debut. They're an established team in ROH, but you need to remember that the average wrestling fan has no idea who they are or what they've achieved in ROH. It makes perfect sense for them to have a low key entry into the company.

TNA iMPACT!
31/01/2008

Video recap of two weeks ago, when a botched interference cost Kurt Angle his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. This leads into Angle challenging AJ Styles to a match, with a win for AJ meaning he would have to leave The Angle Alliance. Pictures of Kurt’s win over AJ are shown, and the subsequent handshake between the two.

Segment 1
Mike: Welcome one and all to Orlando, Florida for the last TNA iMPACT! in January. And what a night we have. Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle are in action tonight, both scheduled to take on Rellik and Chris Harris respectively, plus Booker T and Raven go head to head, and we hear from Rhino why he attacked Sting after their victory in their tag match against Voodoo Kin Mafia.

Samoa Joe’s music hits and the champ makes his way to the ring.

Don: But hear comes Samoa Joe, and I hope Rellik can beat him tonight. I’m sick of this boring champion. Next please.
Mike: Joe is one of the most charismatic, and also talented champion that we’ve had Don.
Don- Talented? He only won the title because of a miscommunication between AJ Styles and Kurt Angle.
Mike- Whatever.

Joe- Know a lot of you are saying I am the accidental champion. I got lucky in my TNA World Heavyweight Championship match. But that is sometimes all you need in life. All you need is a bit of luck, and things can go your way. With that being said, I am the rightful champion, and I want to prove that. So at Against All Odds, I want you Kurt. I want to verse you so I know I am the rightful champion.
At that moment, the Angle Alliance hit the ring.
Kurt- Joe, I accept your challenge… but I will tell you this. If myself personally puts one finger on you before Against All Odds, you pick the match. But if you, so help you lay one of your dirty fingers on me, than I get to pick the match, and you do not want that happening punk. Catch ya later Joe.
Kurt, and his Alliance leave the ring and head up the ramp. They stop; Kurt whispers something to AJ Styles and Tomko. They run back to the ring and the lights go out. When the lights come back on, Angle Alliance are nowhere to be seen, and Samoa Joe is lying in the ring, absolutely covered in blood. Rating 94%

Mike- Wow, How about that Don? If either Kurt or Joe lay a finger on each other, then the opponent can pick the stipulation in their championship match at Against All Odds.
Don- Lets just hope Joe can keep his filthy hands off of the rightful champion Kurt Angle.

Don- I think Creed will win, he has everything, the looks, speed and strength that you want in a wrestler. I think Bearer is wasting his time with Abyss, he should be focussing on talented wrestlers like Creed.

I have not used my rematch clause yet, so by taking you on tonight I won’t get to verse you at Against All Odds. Get real Joe.

Mike- And we have some new TNA Tag Team Champions.
Don- But they had to do it with some help from, who I suspect to be Shelly Martinez, formerly known as Ariel. The Motor City Machine Guns are a bunch of jokers. They can only win after Martinez interferes in their match.

But he has not had the full experience of versing the MAIN EVENT… ROB… VAN….. DAM. You better be ready Bryan, cause our match is next. See you later Bryan. (Then turns to Christy)… You too… Babe.

Segment 5
Mike- How about that? I think that is a strong challenge to Danielson, and I think he may have an answer to it.

-We got a 0.63 buy rate for 'Against All Odds'!
The attendance was 8055 people.
- TNA would like to announce the release of Mark LoMonaco, Brother Ray and Devon Hughes, Brother Devon. TNA wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Here is some news about Team 3D and their release from TNA. Apparently they were unhappy with the way they were being booked in TNA. Devon asked for his release, and 'Brother Ray' was released aswell.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm surprised and happy to see Samoa Joe with the gold, and it will be interesting to see where you'll take things from here.

I can't say I agree with the Briscoe Brothers going over, especially after they made such a weak debut not so long ago. Would have made more sense to let The Steiners, Team 3-D (given their history with the champions), or even Styles and Tomko go over.

Also a bit baffled by Danielson beating Van Dam. The belt's changed hands twice (I think) in a short hand, and while Danielson is a tremendous worker - I think Van Dam would be a better option to carry your division. He's got market value, unless you're lining him up to feed to Samoa Joe.

Still, some interesting stuff.

Obviously that is the ultimate feud, that I will want to lead into, but not for a far while, when Danielson has built himself up, and gotten himself over with the audience. I hope to continue the ANgle Joe feud, cause it is getting good ratings on EWR


Edit: THought you wre talking about Bryan Danielson not RVD- alot of the feuds will continue from AAO's, plus some new ones that have developed.

(Bearer spins the machine. He then pulls out a ball)

Segment 4

Jim Cornette is backstage.
Jim- Last Sunday at Against All Odds, we saw The Kings of Wrestling ‘beat’ America’s Most Wanted. The result was in DQ, but a win is a win, and that makes win number 3 for this team.

So next week on iMPACT! it will be The Kings of Wrestling taking on AJ Styles and Tomko, and why not LAX as well in a tag triple threat elimination match. And to make things more interesting, the winner of the match gets a TNA Tag Team Title match the following week against The Motor City Machine Guns.

Segment 7

Karen Angle is walking backstage. Her husband Kurt walks up to her.
Kurt- Karen! What the hell was that last Sunday? You cost me the win.

Samoa Joe comes to the ring.

Samoa Joe- Last Sunday at Against All Odds, I brought the TNA World Heavyweight Championship back to TNA Blood. No longer will our product be run by superstars. It is time that the wrestlers of TNA stand up and be counted. I am sick to death of ‘superstars’ running their mouth and thinking all that. Look at me… I was never a ‘superstar’ and now I am the top dog. Kurt Angle… you want another shot… you want another beating from me… come and get me.

The music of the former champion hits.
Kurt- Joe… you took something off me last Sunday that meant the world to me. I may have Olympic gold, and held many other world titles, but they are nothing compared to this championship. You say all these superstars are coming in and taking over. I may be one of these so called superstars. But the reason I have taken over is that I am damn good. So I challenge you to a match next week. If I win, I get a title shot at Destination X. if I lose I cannot challenge you to a match for your title.
Joe- For next week? Why not now pussy?
Kurt- Well I have plans for you tonight. You will take on a winner from last Sunday. You will take on Raven. Catch you later punk… wait Joe get out of the ring. It is without further ado that I introduce the next TNA Women’s Champion… my wife… Karen Angle. Rating 83

Christy- Christy Hemme here, and my guest is Sting. Now Sting, you lost last Sunday at Against All Odds to Rhino. How do you feel about that?
Sting- Well tat is one count of stating the obvious if I have ever seen one. Yes I lost. And I am not very happy about it. Rhino… well he couldn’t make it here tonight, he had prior engagements, so I have heard. I am guessing he is too scared to come face to face with me… The Icon… Sting. Rhino… all you proved to me is that you cannot win fairly against me. You had to win with a handful of tights. I think that just shows what kind of a man you are. I’ll catch you whenever you are man enough to face me.

Don- How dare he question Rhino’s credibility? Sting is just as bad as coming up with that lame excuse for him losing last Sunday. Face it Sting. You should retire now.

TNA iMPACT!
21/2/2008

Video opens the show, showing last week’s confrontation between Angle and Samoa Joe, leading to tonight’s main event.

Mike- Welcome to TNA iMPACT! on Spike TV. And do we have a show for you. Tonight we have a Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe. If Angle wins he gets a title shot against Joe, if he loses, he cannot challenge Joe for the title again.
Don- Don’t forget we have a number one contenders match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles, between LAX, AJ Styles and Tomko and The Kings of Wrestling, with an interesting stipulation. The teams can tag any member of any other team of their choosing, so Chris Hero can tag Homicide if they choose to.

Monty Brown’s music hits.
Mike- That is interesting. But now we hear from the man that attacked Abyss after his win against Jay Lethal last week.
Don- Yeah lets see what he has to say for himself.
Monty- Isn’t it great to be back at TNA iMPACT! Most of you will know that I was actually in the WWE, under the name of Marcus Cor Von. I won’t deny it. I went to what I thought was ‘greener pastures’. But looking back at it now. That is the biggest mistake that I have made in my life. I was soon to realise that TNA IS THE PLACE TO BE. Now onto last week’s attack. A lot of people came up to me during the week, and were saying, “Yo Monty, why did you do it? Why did you attack Abyss?” Well it is quite simple. I was sitting at home watching TNA iMPACT!… on Spike TV… and I saw one man, or should I say there were two men, one was controlling the other, and using this guys size to essentially become a bully. First it was against Elix Skipper, then Austin Creed, then against Matt Sydal. It was also it this time they introduced the X Division Bingo game. Tell me Abyss, Paul. Is risking the lives of these wrestlers a game to you guys? So when this was being done, I rang Dixie and asked for my job again. And you know the rest. So that leaves me with the job tonight to challenge Abyss to a match. Come on Paul, Abyss. You scared. Later on in the show, I will make my way to the ring. You better follow me to the ring, or else I will come back there and pull you out here. I’ll catch ya later in the ring Abyss, and be ready for the fight of your life. Rating 81%

Mike- And what a match that may be tonight?
Don- If I was Abyss I would stay away from Brown. He does not want to associate with such riff raff.
Mike- Now it is time for the tag team elimination match for a TNA Tag Team championship shot for next week. Now remember that they can tag anyone in the match, no matter what team they are on.
