Show was alright, somewhat think Kendrick should be called Spanky, but it's his real name so it doesn't really matter. Haz and Yang as ninja's made me laugh. TAKA vs Red had to of been fantastic, the right man won the match anyway. Yay to Jerry Lynn getting the win but from what I've seen from Jorge Estrada, he's an alright worker. Steiner getting the win is alright, would be cool if he gets a title run. Jarrett beating Killings made sense, obviouslly would of prefared Killings but I can see why Jeff won. Main event was solid, two guys I really like fighting over the NWA World Championship. Can't really see it getting that rating in real life, but what ever. Glad Guerrero retained the title.

I'm not the one who rates the matches - it's EWR.
There's replies coming your way PC, Hammers and DTP.

26th of June, 2002: NWA:TNA Presents PPV #003Jushin Liger def. Rey Misterio Jr. and PsicosisLiger made his TNA debut here tonight in a fantastic three way dance. It's not believed Liger has signed a written deal with TNA, but will work when needed. Psicosis was the first man eliminated after Rey hit him with a Super Hurricanrana. Rey and Liger put on an good match, that ended when Liger side stepped Rey's attempted crossbody and hit a running Liger Bomb. Afterwards, Rey's tag team partner, Konnan helped him up and both men shook hands with Liger and then worked the crowd afterwards. Goldylocks was standing backstage with Dawn Marie, Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond. The team seemed convinced that their tag match with Elix Skipper and David Young was going to be a walk in the park. Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger def. David Young and Elix SkipperThe team of Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger work really well together, and seeing Dawn Marie at ringside is just an added bonus. The young team of David Young and Elix Skipper proved to be able to work as a unit, with hopes of taking down Diamond and Swinger, and getting the upset victory, but let's be honest here - it was obvious Diamond and Swinger where leaving victorious tonight. After a little distraction from Dawn Marie, Elix walked straight into the Simonizer. Mike Tenay and Mick Foley hyped the qualifying matches that will happen until we have 4 men who will compete in a ladder match to crown the first ever NWA:TNA X-Division Champion. They put over TAKA Michinoku's win over The Amazing Red last week. They then hype the next qualifying match between Low-Ki and Ultimo Dragon. Ultimo Dragon def. Low-KiMatch of the year candidate for sure. These two gel so well out there, it's unbelivable. These men where determined to earn the spot in the X-Division Four Way. After some hard hitting kicks, and a double foot stomp from the top rope it looked like Low-Ki was advancing. But a little distracting from Jerry Lynn stopped the referee counting the pin. Low-Ki got in the face of Lynn, long enough for Ultimo to get up and hit Ki with the Asai DDT. Low-Ki began to punch and kick everything in site afterwards as Jerry Lynn watched on from the ringside, laughing. This feud between Low-Ki and Lynn certainly isn't over. A video played showing us an old bar. There where some men playing pool, and some drinking beer at the bar. Two men walk in, and the bar falls silent. Some people run towards the men but they are taken down, and a bar brawl erupts. Once everyone is down, the men take a drink from their glass of beer and they announce themselves as Chris Harris and James Storm, and they are coming to TNA. Scott Steiner def. Norman SmileyNorman got a great ovation from the crowd when he entered the arena, and an even bigger pop when he done the wiggle. But all the wiggle done was piss off Steiner who hit a big belly to belly suplex followed by applying the Steiner Recleiner to which Smiley tapped almost instantly. Like previous weeks, Steiner didn't break the hold. Several referees tried to get Steiner off, but he kept the hold locked in as a disgusted Mike Tenay sent us to the back. Goldylocks was backstage with Scott Hall. Scott said that he just got back from Ricky Steamboat's office and next week, he'll be in action against Shane Douglas, while Jeff Jarrett takes to the ring to "dance" with Ken Shamrock! Jeff appears and tells Scott that he isn't pleased with the fact that chose his opponent for next week. But Jarrett says that Shamrock is just another person in the way before he gets to him, and then Hall is just another guy in the way before he gets what should be his - the NWA World Heavyweight title. The pair staredown as we head back to ringside. Eddie Guerrero def. AJ Styles to retain the NWA World Heavyweight ChampionshipGuerrero once again successfully retained his title belt in the second best match of the night. The young AJ Styles had a huge oppurtunity here tonight, but his cocky attitude got the better of him, as instead of going for pins he would taunt the crowd. Eddie's experience proved to be the difference maker as he took advantage of Styles not paying attention and took him down with a dropkick to the knee and applying the Lasso From El Paso to which Styles tapped. TNA are certainly putting on fantastic title matches, which is definately adding more prestige to the NWA World Heavyweight title.

I loved the opener on your last show. That match would be amazing to see. Same with AJ Vs. Eddie. That was the first show I've read in this diary, but I'm gonna go back and read the other two shows here in a bit. I like the layout and your writing style. You don't make everything incredibly long, which is great for me because I don't have that big of an attention spand when I'm reading.
Drop a reply to my WWE 2008 - 2009?

Really strong way to open up the show. Dragon-Ki does sound like a great match, although I'm not sure about it being a MOTY candidate. I continue to like what you are doing with Steiner and he could make for a good champion at some point. Eddie-AJ would have been a really cool match to see. I think Eddie has some good opponents waiting for him in Steiner and Jarrett. Keep up the good work man, it's a good diary so far. I just hope you don't overpush the x-division, remember that the heavyweights tend to be bigger draws.

Seemed like a magnificent opener on TNA tonight, glad that Jushin Liger won and that Rey Mysterio Jr was left as a runner up. Interesting that you've brought in Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger as a tag team so early, seemed like a decent match to introduce them to TNA. I personally wish that you'd push Elix Skipper. Ultimo Dragon and Low-Ki would put on an obviously amazing match-up, I liked it. Scott Steiner squashing Norman Smiley is fine, because I'm not the biggest fan of Smiley. Eddie Guerrero beating AJ Styles was great. I always love a fighting champion, personally. I hope you push up some heavyweight stars, though.

Looked like one solid TNA, I like TNA diaries from the start and how they change, push Punk like I asked in the beginning, super awsome opener you couldn't really ask for 3 more globally well known wrestlers, having Rey is awsome, I'm a fan of Simon but not of Swinger wish Elix wan, X Div match sound good but Ladder? why not Ultimate X?, Big Wiggle FTW! Amazing main event I know you had 100% rating, glad Eddie wan just why did you push Aj so hard, good luck and keep this up

3rd of July 2002: NWA:TNA Presents PPV #004Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat makes his way down to the ring. He thanks the fans in attendance for paying their hard-earned cash to see NWA:TNA live tonight. He then talks about how wrestling legend Jushin "Thunder" Liger was here last week. Steamboat announces that in the main event tonight it will be Eddie Guerrero defending the NWA World Heavyweight title against Jushin Liger! The music of Jeff Jarrett plays and he comes storming down the ramp, with his signature guitar in his hand. Jarrett tells Steamboat he's wasting valuable air time here, and how it's disgraceful that Jushin Liger has already got a title shot. Jarrett then tells Steamboat that he wants Scott Hall in the ring, right here, right now. Steamboat tells Jarrett that he won't book the match for tonight, but the match will take place next week. Scott Hall appears and tells Steamboat he has a propisition for him. He picks Jarretts opponent for tonight, and Jarrett picks his. Steamboat says he likes the sound of that, and agrees. AJ Styles def. Paul LondonGood, fast-paced opener here with both men looking to get into the X-Division title match. AJ Styles plays a great heel, and he does so by dirty moves, and basically acting cocky. In the end, AJ was able to hit London with the Styles Clash. Goldylocks was shown backstage with NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Eddie Guerrero. Eddie hypes his title defense against Jushin "Thunder" Liger. Scott Steiner def. Ron KillingsThis was easily Steiner's toughest challenge yet, but he yet again prevailed victorious, thus staying undefeated here in NWA:TNA. Steiner's strength is unbelivable. He tossed Killings around at times. Steiner got the pinfall after the Steiner Screwdriver. Steiner got a microphone and said that Eddie Guerrero better watch his back. Mike Tenay and Mick Foley told the fans that if you order next weeks NWA:TNA PPV you will get the following weeks PPV for just $5! Jerry Lynn, Christian York & Joey Matthews def. Low-Ki, Lenny and LodiA solid tag team match here. Christian York returned to action are slightly injuring himself at PPV #001 and him and Matthews brought their new valet, Alexis Laree who is smokin' hot. Low-Ki didn't seem too pleased about teaming with Lenny and Lodi who just danced around for the match, but at times they did have control in the match, but not for very long. Jerry Lynn pinned Lodi after the Cradle Piledriver. Afterwards, Low-Ki almost beheaded both Lenny and Lodi after a stiff kick to the head. Lenny and Lodi's manager, Joel Gertner, got into the ring but recieved a stiff kick for his trouble. Scott Hall was backstage with Goldylocks. He put over his match where he will take on Shane Douglas. Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond def. Tony Mamaluke and James MaritatoSwinger, Diamond and Dawn Marie are already over with the crowd, as they got some good heat here tonight. Maritato and Mamaluke pulled off some sweet double team moves, but Swinger and Diamond really look to be the best tag team in TNA at the current moment. A catfight between Dawn Marie and Trinity allowed Diamond and Swinger to hit the Problem Solver to Mamaluke while Maritato was pulling the girls apart. A video played showing us an old bar. There where some men playing pool, and some drinking beer at the bar. Two men walk in, and the bar falls silent. Some people run towards the men but they are taken down, and a bar brawl erupts. Once everyone is down, the men take a drink from their glass of beer and they announce themselves as Chris Harris and James Storm, and they are coming to TNA. Scott Hall def. Shane DouglasHall showed some ring rust here, but this was still a rather enjoyable contest. After avoiding a clothesline, Hall hit the Outsider's Edge for the win. Mike Tenay and Mick Foley once again put over that if you order next weeks NWA:TNA PPV you will get the following weeks PPV for just $5! Jeff Jarrett def. Ken ShamrockJarrett had a tough challenge ahead of him tonight, as Ken Shamrock is no easy fight. Shamrock proved that he is a serious contender here in TNA after unleashing some stiff shots to Jarrett and almost getting the win after a gutwrench suplex, but Jarrett kicked off. Double J got the victory after hitting The Stroke out of nowehere. Ricky Steamboat was backstage with Christopher Daniels and Michael Shane. Steamboat told them that AJ Styles, TAKA Michinoku and Ultimo Dragon have already qualified for the Ladder Match to determine the first ever NWA:TNA X-Division Champion, and next week both Daniels and Michael will compete to see who will earn the fourth and final spot. Steamboat wishes them both the best of luck as he hurries them out of his office so he can see the main event in peace. Eddie Guerrero def. Jushin "Thunder" Liger to retain the NWA World Heavyweight ChampionshipFAN- ING-TASTIC match. I was glued to the TV screen from the moment to the bell rung. These two worked so well together, I would love TNA if they made them lock up again. There where times where I thought Liger had the match and title won, but Eddie kicked out. Liger went to hit the Liger Bomb, but Eddie slipped out of Liger's grip and attacked Liger's legs that he had been working on the entire match. Eddie applied the Laso From El Paso and Liger tapped out. Afterwards, both men shook hands and celebrated in the ring to a standing ovation. Scott Steiner then came charging to the ring and violently whacked Eddie with a huge ass clothesline. Steiner began to stomp away at Eddie until Liger pushed Steiner. Steiner retaliated by hitting Liger with a belly to belly suplex and then locking in the Steiner Recleiner to Eddie, and Eddie passed out. Steiner grabbed Eddie's NWA World Heavyweight title belt and stood over a fallen Eddie and Liger and raised the title belt as we come to a close.

Been a while since you last posted a show. Really good opening segment. I like Jarrett storing to the ring after he hears the title shot news. Styles-London sounds like a really good match and I'm glad Styles went over. I like the push that Steiner is getting, and I could see him eventually taking the strap. Six-man tag match seemed a little bit like filler. I like the Swinger/Diamond/Marie trio. Hall-Douglas is an interesting match, and the right man one. Surprised Jarrett won clean due to his heelish antics. All of the ladder match guys sounds awesome. Main event sounded good, and the beat down after was really well done. Steiner-Eddie would be a great match. I could see Steiner eventually getting the title. It was a really good show man, keep it up. Please drop a reply to ECW 2007 when you get a chance.

SCOTT STEINER'S PUSH; AMERICA'S MOST WANTED; & MORE! (www.pwinsider.com)
- Scott Steiner's push in TNA has been due to the writing team and Jeff Jarrett being big fans of Scott. Jarrett sees Steiner as being the companys biggest heel, and they intend on pushing Steiner to that position.
- The tag team of Chris Harris and James Storm are expected to make their anticipated NWA:TNA debuts in the forecoming weeks. Both men recieved a try-out match against each other at the TNA debut show in a dark match, and they where both signed to contracts on the spot.
- We have been recieving a ton of e-mails a day regarding who TNA plan on introducing as the members of the stable that James Mitchell was talking about on TNA a couple of weeks ago. We cannot confirm who the members are, and how many there is, but it's believed one of the men in the stable is Dave Bautista, who was released from his WWE development contract in March of this year. Bautista worked under the name "Leviathan" while in OVW.
- The Sandman, Sabu, and Lex Luger have all revealed that they will be working some TNA dates in the near future. It's not believed that Luger will be on PPV anytime soon, but The Sandman and Sabu are planned to work as a tag team, who will be managed by "The Queen of Extreme" Francine. More news on the signings as we get it!

Great opening segment to this edition of NWA:TNA with Ricky Steamboat coming out and announcing the scheduled main event for tonight, Eddie Guerrero and Jushin Thunder Liger would be phenomenal. AJ Styles defeating Paul London is okay, those two always seemingly put on an awesome display. Scott Steiner over Ron Killings is fine, I'm glad that it was Steiner's hardest challenge to date. Seemed like a solid six-man tag team match, I'm liking that Lenny and Lodi are here feuding with Christian York and Joey Matthews. Hope you also bring in the Maximo Brothers, make it a three-way feud. Alright tag team match, some good old ECW teams in that one, Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger winning is okay. Scott Hall and Shane Douglas would be an interesting combination. That one didn't seem too appealing unlike the other matches on this card. Jeff Jarrett and Ken Shamrock was a good match, happy that you chose to have Jarrett win, shows you aren't biased towards Shamrock. Awesome main event, I loved it and Eddie Guerrero retaining the NWA Heavyweight Championship is good. I love his fighting champion gimmick. Should be a fun scenario with Scott Steiner. Only complaint is how you'd of fit all of this show into a two-hour time slot. It had a little too much star power.

Nice, I can't wait to see Next Week's PPV. I'm hoping that Scott Hall defeats Jarrett.
I like the Eddie/Liger match and hope to see Eddie retain over Steiner when they do face.
I'm hoping that Christopher Daniels defeats Michael Shane so we can see a sick fatal 4-way ladder at when ever you decide to have the title match.
I'm also can't wait for AMW to finally debut in a TNA match andd it's cool that Sabu/Sandman are coming in.
Luger can be decent as long as his T-shirts aren't 2 damn tight.

NWA:TNA PRESENTS PPV #005 "GRUDGE"
The show opens with Mick Foley and Mike Tenay welcoming us to NWA:TNA's fifth pay-per-view. The music of Scott Steiner hits and he confidently walks to the ring. Steiner brags about taking out both Jushin "Thunder" Liger and the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Eddie Guerrero. Steiner says tonight he is to wrestle Ken Shamrock and he is going to teach the so-called "UFC Legend" how to knock someone out. Eddie Guerrero comes running to the ring but security suddenly pour from the back and restrain Eddie as Steiner taunts him, by holding the middle rope open.
1. Christopher Daniels defeated Michael Shane: This was the final match of the X-Division Qualifying Tournament, and it was a damn fine match. Although Daniels is a heel, he was getting a face reaction from the crowd, and Daniels tried to do what he could to get heat, but it wasn't happening. Daniels advanced after connecting with the Angel's Wings.
Mick Foley sends us to the back where Goldylocks is with James Mitchell. Goldylocks asks Mitchell to tell the TNA fans who is involved in his stable. Mitchell says the gates to hell have opened, and his two latest creatures will be unveiled to the world sooner rather than later. He warns the fans that he won't be bringing just two monsters, but instead three. He laughs as Goldylocks looks bewildered as we cut back to ringside.
2. James Storm and Chris Harris defeated James Maritato and Tony Mamaluke [w/ Trinity]: The debut of James Storm and Chris Harris was a successful one as the pair showcased that they have serious potential as a tag team. After dumping Mamaluke to the outside Storm drilled Maritato with a Superkick to score the victory.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger is with Ricky Steamboat backstage. Ricky tells Liger that he has taken into account the fact that Scott Steiner attacked him last week, and next week Scott Steiner will take on Liger.
3. Low-Ki defeated Jerry Lynn: It was noted by Foley that the winner of this match will earn a future X-Division Championship shot at a date of their choosing. After putting on a tremendous encounter, Jerry Lynn looked to put Ki away with the Cradle Piledriver, but Low-Ki managed to escape Lynn's hold and hit the Ki Krusher to secure a future X-Division title shot. Low-Ki celebrated like crazy at ringside as Lynn looked annoyed, although he nodded his head in approval to Ki.
AJ Styles was shown backstage with Goldylocks. Styles told Goldylocks that next week we will be crowning the first ever NWA:TNA X-Division Champion, and it's going to be him leaving with the gold.
4. Scott Steiner defeated Ken Shamrock: This was an all-out war. Shamrock and Steiner clicked extremely well, and I would love if they locked up again. Steiner had a major advantage and that was his strength. When Shamrock went for a suplex, Steiner managed to reverse it into a suplex of his own and keep Shamrock in the air before dropping him gut first onto the ropes and then hitting a Spike DDT while Shamrock was still caught up in the ropes.
5. Eddie Guerrero defeated Sonny Siaki: When we return from Foley and Tenay advertising TNA's sponsors, Sonny Siaki comes to the ring, followed by the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Eddie Guerrero. I guess this was just to put Eddie over. Although the match was kept short, it was a solid encounter, and very enjoyable. Eddie hit the Frog Splash to win and Siaki had a temper tantrum afterwards.
A video played hyping our main event contest between Jeff Jarrett and Scott Hall.
6. Jeff Jarrett defeated Scott Hall: I really didn't know what the outcome of this match was going to be. Scott Hall looked a little drunk out there, but still managed to pull off a decent contest, which the crowd ate up. After a referee bump, Jarrett broke a guitar over Hall's head and kicked the broken guitar pieces out of the ring and covered Hall as the referee was just getting up.

Good opening promo cut by Scott Steiner, who isn't really the greatest star TNA has, but that's okay. Nice rant by Steiner and I like Eddie Guerrero being hot at Steiner. Christopher Daniels beating Michael Shane was a great match, that'd of been a solid encounter and I hope Daniels goes all the way, to be honest. The tag team match seemed like a truly awesome contest, James Storm and Chris Harris (sans the America's Most Wanted name) beating James Maritato and Tony Mamaluke is good. Woah, Low-Ki beating Jerry Lynn is just plain awesome, maybe a passing of the torch? I hope Lynn gets to the TNA X-Division Championship first, though. Scott Steiner beating Ken Shamrock would be a brutal match. Eddie Guerrero beating Sonny Siaki sounded okay but seemed like a filler. Jeff Jarrett beating Scott Hall in the main event, that was a decent contest. Nice cheap finish too.

17th of July 2002; NWA:TNA Presents PPV #006: 'The X-Division Champion'A pyro display went off at the top of the ramp as the camera scanned throughout the arena. Mick Foley and Mike Tenay welcomed us to NWA:TNA’s sixth pay-per-view before running down the announced matches, including TAKA Michinoku taking on AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Ultimo Dragon in a ladder match to crown the first ever NWA:TNA X-Division Champion! The music of Scott Steiner played, as he cockily made his way down the ramp to a lot of heat from the Nashville crowd. Steiner got a microphone from the ring announcer and began to talk about how last week he made an example out of Ken Shamrock. Steiner said that when his title match with Eddie Guerrero comes around, he’s going to beat him even more than what he done to Shamrock. Steiner really did seem hell-bent on destroying Eddie, and taking his NWA World Heavyweight title. Steiner then complained about not being in a match tonight, so he’s issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back.. Scott Steiner defeated. James Maritato and Tony Mamaluke.It was Tony Mamaluke who accepted Steiner's challenge, but Steiner demanded that Maritato, who accompanied Tony to the ring, that he get involved also, to make it "more of a challenge" for him, although we all knew that it wasn't going to be anymore of a challenge for Steiner. Scott just spent the entire "match" launching Maritato and Mamaluke across the ring, and hitting some big moves. In the end, Steiner put Maritato on top of Mamaluke and applied a double Steiner Recleiner and both men tapped almost immediantly. Afterwards, EMT's hit the ring, but Steiner took them all out and celebrated afterwards. **3\4The camera cut to the backstage area where we see Jeremy Borash standing next to “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. AJ bragged about how his qualifying match to get his spot in tonights X-Division title main event was a walk in the park, and so will the match tonight. Borash told AJ that he is underestimating his opponents, as they are all fantastic athletes. AJ told Borash that he is TNA’s greatest athlete, and he will prove that to him and the rest of the idiots out there when he leaves the first ever NWA:TNA X-Division Champion. Chris Harris and James Storm defeated. Kaz Hayashi and Yang.Yang and Hayashi have a pretty interesting gimmick going here in NWA:TNA, as they are acting like ninjas. I’m surprised that the duo aren’t jobbing due to their gimmick since they had control in this match quite a few times, hitting some sweet moves, including Hayashi taking out Harris with a diving DDT off the top rope. In the end, Harris pinned Hayashi with a move that Foley called the Catatonic. ****The camera focuses on Tenay and Foley at their announce table and they hype tonights card before Foley tells us that he is being told something is going on backstage. The camera cuts to the back where we see Scott Steiner stomping away at some paramedics. He then moves on from the paramedics and the camera pans out, revealing James Maritato on a stretcher. Steiner picked up the stretcher with Maritato still on it and slammed it against the wall, similar to swinging a baseball bat. Ricky Steamboat and several other workers appear, restraining Steiner. Steamboat tells security to eject Steiner from the arena. It takes a fight, but security are able to eventually apply the ‘cuffs and take Steiner off the premises. Steiner laughs psychotically as he bundled into a car. Jushin “Thunder” Liger defeated. Rey Misterio Jr.This match had no story behind it, but was on the card to simply entertain the crowd, and the viewers at home, and boy it sure did. Liger and Misterio clicked extremely well, and it made for a fantastic match. Around the 15 minute mark, Misterio looked to connect with a springboard seated senton, but Liger caught Rey and hit the Liger Bomb for the win. It truly was a fantastic ending. Both men shook hands afterwards. ****Eddie Guerrero was backstage with Jeremy Borash. Eddie always brings the goods in interviews, and this was no different. He hyped his match against Scott Hall. Scott Hall appears and tells Eddie may the best man win, CHICO~! Eddie Guerrero defeated. Scott Hall.This was actually a pretty good back and forth contest that was only on the show so that Eddie was featured, and to put Eddie over. I didn’t expect Hall to win this match, so every time he got a pin I knew Guerrero was going to kick out. After escaping Hall’s attempted Outsider’s Edge, Eddie took Hall down and then applied The Laso From El Paso to which Hall tapped. Eddie got his title afterwards and shouted into the camera “YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE PEOPLE TAP!” I’m guessing it was directed towards Steiner. ***A video plays hyping the four way ladder match for the X-Division title. TAKA Michinoku defeated. AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Ultimo Dragon to win the NWA:TNA X-Division Championship.The only word to describe this match is phenomenal. The action was fast, and hard-hitting, and all four men went at it from the moment the bell rung at the start of the match, until TAKA retrieved the title. Each man had their chance to shine as they each got to hit their signature and finishing moves. AJ hit the Styles Clash onto Ultimo and then climbed up the ladder. He began to unhook the title, but TAKA came out of nowhere, and I mean nowhere, and dropkicked the ladder, sending AJ crashing to the outside in a sick bump, and then catching the title as it dropped from above. ****1/2

I’ve browsed over this diary and I must say, you have one hell of a roster to work with. Some of the matches have been pretty damn good. With that said, here is review of your latest show.
- I really like how your promoting Steiner. He has demolished seemingly everyone in his path. That would make people question that fact that Guerrero could beat him. I think that is simply great booking. - Double Steiner Recliner is sick. Steiner is a badass. - Nice promo by a cocky AJ Styles. - I don’t know about Kaz and Yang being ninjas. AMW picking up the win is good. Could see these guys having a great match. - Wow. Steiner is going nuts. Guerrero/Steiner is going to be one hell of a match. - Liger/Rey is always a solid match. - Guerrero beating Hall is expected. You have no idea how great I think you are hyping up Steiner/Guerrero. Having Guerrero taunt Steiner after the match is fantastic. - I like Styles not winning the title. Taka winning is great. Though, promos with him may be difficult. - Wonder what Styles will have to say. Fluke?
Overall, a fantastic show. Steiner/Guerrero is going to be insane I can sense it.
