[SodaGuy]

TNA Wrestling: iMPACT! July 21st, 2011 Whatever It Takes... The show kicks off with a video package looking back at Mr. Anderson stealing the victory last week, earning a TNA World Title shot at "Hardcore Justice". Mr. Anderson's music kicks off post-intro as he cockily walks toward the ring. He cuts a promo about how great it feels to finally get his one-on-one World Heavyweight Title rematch, despite it being seven months overdue! Anderson brought up how he and the network have clashed due to them screwing him over, but unlike "Ditzy Carter" they realized their mistake and made sure he was able to participate in the main event, without Carter knowing it. He mentioned that the "scouting" from under the ring was his added touch. Anderson said that he has waited to be World Heavyweight Champion his entire freaking life and would do whatever it takes to make sure it happens, again. He promises that nobody will stand in his way of becoming the World Champion, not even the president of TNA Wrestling! He lets go of his microphone as it raises back to the rafters, and leaves the ring. ________________________________________________________________________________ The Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Rock n' Rave Infection Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave make their returns to the company as they look to advance in this tournament. The two teams lock horns with Jimmy Rave and Alex Shelley putting on a nice little chain wrestling contest, before Lance Rock comes into the match and just dominates with his size advantage. It isn't long until The Motor City Machine Guns work together to chop down Rock, allowing them to control the match. The Guns would pick up the victory when Shelley hit a frog splash on Rock for the victory. Winners: The Motor City Machine Guns We see footage of Bully Ray and Rob Terry announcing their partnership in the "Tag Team Quest" tournament, stating that there is nobody that can stop a Bully and a Freak. Sarita (w/ Rosita) vs. Velvet Sky The experienced and quick as lighting Sarita really schooled Velvet Sky for the opening moments of this match, not allowing Sky to get any offense in. Sky was able to fight back but it was a little too late as Sarita quickly put her away with the "La Reienera" to score the victory. Winner: Sarita After the match, Sarita and Rosita put the boots to Velvet Sky. Rosita held Sky up allowing Sarita to nail a few punches to the face of Sky, until Mickie James hit the ring to make the save. Sarita and Rosita bailed from the ring as James slid into the ring. James checked on Velvet Sky but kept her eye on Sarita! We see footage of Mr. Anderson and Jeff Jarrett talking through a crack in the locker room door, Jarrett tells Anderson that he is glad Anderson has finally seen the light. Jarrett also tells him that Hardcore Justice will be his night. ________________________________________________________________________________ A sit-down interview that Mike Tenay conducted with Kazarian earlier today aired. Kazarian spoke about helping build the X-Division and how he isn't going to let Ric Flair ruin it by teaching Lethal all his dirty tactics. He put over how the X-Division wasn't about cheap shots and stolen victories, it was about the best wrestlers in the world busting their asses for the prestige X-Division Championship. Kazarian vowed to reclaim the X-Division Championship, if it is the last thing he does! Kazarian vs. Robbie E Robbie E looked to fist-pump his way to a victory over the number one contender for the X-Division Championship, but the Jersey-Shore poser had another thing coming. Kazarian really worked over Robbie E until Robbie took a cheap shot and took advantage of the match. Robbie E put Kazarian on a roller coaster ride, staying in control before hitting a cutter. Kazarian rolled the shoulder to get a two count, and it wasn't long until Kazarian hit the "Fade to Black" for the victory. Winner: Kazarian Backstage, "The Icon" Sting is show backstage going into the office of Dixie Carter. Sting is obviously angry at being screwed out of the battle royal, demanding that Carter do something about this. Anderson entered the locker room, saying how he heard Sting in here complaining about being screwed. Anderson reminded Carter that the network pays the bills around here and he, personally, wouldn't want to piss them off. Carter told Sting her hands were tied, but she would book Sting in a tag team match teaming with AJ Styles to face Mr. Anderson and whomever Anderson could get as a partner. Beer Money Inc. vs. Rob Terry & Bully Ray This was a huge challenge for Beer Money Inc who had to overcome the - rare - disadvantage of size compared to their opponents. Beer Money Inc put up a heck of a fight, but Terry and Ray kept shutting them down with huge power moves. It looked like the chance was fading away for Beer Money Inc but a last minute tag to James Storm, tried to turn things around. Storm came into the match red hot against Rob Terry, but it wasn't long until Terry knocked Storm across the ring with a shoulder tackle. Rob Terry and Bully Ray started butting heads about who would remain in control, which both men tagging in multiple times (right after another), which would cost them the match when Storm nailed a sick "Last Call" super kick on Terry, while Roode pulled Ray off the apron. Storm gets the pinfall as they advance that next round! Winners: Beer Money Inc,. ________________________________________________________________________________ "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels made his way down to the ring and said that it was time for him to get some feelings off his chess. He said when he returned to TNA Wrestling, he had high hopes from both himself and management. Daniels put over how management has really turned their back on him (and others), so he was hoping the fans would put him in the World Television Championship match at "Destination X", but they failed him. He said that the fans, TNA management, everyone has failed him because of a bunch of "superstars" coming in to take his spot. He also said that Samoa Joe wasn't nor is deserving of the shot at the World Television Championship, which brought Samoa Joe out. Joe argued Daniels points, stating that it is up to the talent to prove that they deserve what they want. He told Daniels that all he has seen out of him since his return, is a lot of complaining. Joe also told Daniels the problem wasn't with everyone around him, but the problem was really with him! Daniels didn't take this kindly and attacked Joe, as the two began to brawl around the ring. The two of them exchanged some hard shots until security came down and pried them apart, for the moment. Joe broke away and went after Daniels, but security finally got the two separated. We see the reaction of Desmond Wolfe about the segment with Joe and Daniels. He says that if Daniels wants a title shot at him, then he needs to get in line, but tells Daniels that he needs to work out his other problems before he steps up. "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez The two big men collide here as Morgan was still struggling with legs due to the match against D'Angelo Dinero from "Destination X". This would hinder Morgan's advantage but he would end up picking up the victory following the "Helleavator" for the pinfall. Winner: Matt Morgan After the match, Morgan got on the microphone and challenged D'Angelo Dinero to a match at "Hardcore Justice" to get his revenge on Dinero for trying to destroy his career. We told Pope he wants an answer by next week! ________________________________________________________________________________ AJ Styles is shown backstage talking with Sting, he tells Sting that fighting with Anderson isn't worth it as he isn't going to beat Styles for the championship. Sting told Styles that he just doesn't understand, that he is to naive. He tells Styles that there is something "bigger" going on here, but he won't allow it. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles & "The Icon" Sting defeated Mr. Anderson & Jeff Jarrett Holy crap, this was an all out fight between all four men with Sting just going after both Anderson and Jarrett. Styles saw his fair share of action against Jarrett, but Anderson was really biding his time when it came down to being in the ring with Styles. Sting and Jarrett would lock horns also, with Sting taking the fight to Jarrett. The ending saw the referee get knocked down by Anderson on accident, leading to Jeff Jarrett using his trusty guitar on the TNA World Champion, AJ Styles. Jarrett hands the match to Anderson as he takes Sting to the floor and rams him into the guard rail, while Anderson covers AJ Styles. The official stirs and counts the victory... Mr. Anderson just pinned the World Champion! Winners: Mr. Anderson & Jeff Jarrett Mr. Anderson grabbed the TNA World Championship belt and held it above his head, while Jeff Jarrett raised Anderson's arm in the air, to close the show. © TNA Entertainment, LLC 2011

TNA Wrestling: iMPACT! July 28th, 2011 You Shut Me Up Then! The music of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles plays as the current TNA World Heavyweight Champion makes his way down to the ring. Styles cuts a promo about Anderson's comments last week about willing to do anything to become World Champion. He says that Anderson has to look at the other side of the coin, because AJ Styles will do anything to stay the TNA World Heavyweight Champion! He talks about how Anderson has proven since day one that it's all about the championship belt, just like everyone in the locker room but he has to remember that Styles' last title reign remains the longest one in company history. He tells Anderson that he better bring more than his loud mouth and cocky attitude to "Hardcore Justice", because when the bell rings... Anderson will step in the ring with an AJ Styles that the world has never seen! Styles leaves the ring as Mike Tenay hypes tonight's main event which is AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett! ________________________________________________________________________________ Alex Shelley vs. "Cowboy" James Storm vs. Max Buck vs. Jesse Neal These four men broke away from their normal tag team contests to face off in this huge opening contest. These four men will be in tag team action at "Hardcore Justice" with all four participating in two separate matches. All four of them took the fight to each other with nobody really having the care to work together, with Max Buck cowardly hiding most of the match in the corner until James Storm went after him. The ending saw all four men hit their finishers which would see Shelley nail "Sliced Bread #2" on James Storm for the victory! Winner: Alex Shelley Backstage, The Hardy Brothers are shown watching the match knowing that one of these four men will be one half of their future opponents. They're asked by the camera man about who they would like to face at "Bound for Glory", with the brothers stating that it didn't matter who they would face as they are the best in the world. They stated that the championship belts in their hands prove that they are the best tag team in the world and nobody will take that from them! Rosita & Sarita vs. TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James and Velvet Sky The cousins looked to soften up Mickie James before Sarita's match against her at "Hardcore Justice", but it didn't seem to go there way. James and Sky really worked over Rosita throughout the match with Sarita refusing to get into the ring with Mickie James, until she had choice. Sarita hit the ring to break up a count on Rosita, when James (who was on the apron) got in the ring and hit a Thez Press on Sarita. The two fought on the mat for a few minutes while Sky hits the "Sky-High" on Rosita for the victory. Winners: TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James & Velvet Sky Following the match, James and Sky celebrates while Sarita walks out leaving her cousin laid out in the middle of the ring. Sarita yells at James that it isn't over and she would see her at Hardcore Justice. A video airs of a woman standing in the middle of a wrestling ring in a warehouse type venue. She has her back to the camera as she begins to cut a promo on the entire TNA Knockout Division. The mysterious character puts down the division stating they have turned into a bunch of divas playing dress-up instead of a true women's division. She says that the knockouts are supposed to be the cream of the crop, yet they are just like every other women's division in television! She proclaims that she is here to turn the division on its head and make it mean something again. She turns toward the camera and introduces herself as Jennifer Blake. ________________________________________________________________________________ Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner Samoa Joe took the fight to Scott Steiner early on before Steiner was able to reverse a suplex and take control of the match. Steiner seemed more worried about doing push-ups and posing for the cameras, than Samoa Joe. This allowed Joe to take advantage and pick up the victory following a "Muscle Buster" on Steiner. Winner: Samoa Joe After the match, Christopher Daniels hit the ring and went after Samoa Joe again for his remarks last week. The two brawled and Daniels would end up being split open by a head-butt by Joe. They were broken up by security and escorted to the back via separate ways. A video package airs hyping up "Bound for Glory" from the Times Union Center in Albany, New York on October 23rd. It also plus the tickets being on sale now! We return with Christopher Daniels sitting on a bench in the trainers room still bleeding: "I want to make this crystal clear to you Samoa Joe, so make sure you are listening really good. The problem I have right now has nothing to do with you, but you made it about you. You told me and the entire world that the problem was about me? No, the problem is about everyone else in this damn company! This company fired me for doing my f***ing job and you know it. I was brought back and was told that I would get the time of day, but I haven't. I had to rely on a fan vote to get a championship match? That might be a good idea for American Idol... but this is pro-freaking-wrestling! We earn championship matches in the middle of the ring, so I am proposing a match at Hardcore Justice between you and me Joe. The winner gets the next shot at Desmond Wolfe's World Television Championship. You want me to shut up? Then you shut me up Joe, you shut me up!" ________________________________________________________________________________ TNA X-Division Champion, Jay Lethal and "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero (with Ric Flair) vs. "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan and Kazarian This tag team match was really a preview of two single matches that will take place at "Hardcore Justice", as Dinero has accepted the challenge of Morgan. The four men took the fight to each other in the match, with Kazarian really tearing into Lethal when he got the chance. The ending saw Kazarian hit the "Fade to Black" on Dinero for the victory. Winners: Matt Morgan & Kazarian We see a video from "The Icon" Sting where he is standing in the rafters. He cuts a promo about the bigger plan that Anderson and Jarrett have concocted with some special allies. Sting says that he has to make sure that they don't get to act on their plan! He also says that he will be in the rafters watching the main event. Backstage, Jay Lethal and Ric Flair are yelling at Dinero for losing them the match. Dinero makes some excuse and Lethal slaps the taste out of his mouth, stating that Dinero is better than that crap out there. Lethal tells Dinero to listen to Flair and he will be back onto of TNA Wrestling! Dinero seems to think about the offer as Flair and Lethal walk away. TNA World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett in a non-title match AJ Styles looked to seek retribution against Jeff Jarrett, who knocked him out with the guitar last week allowing Anderson to gain the pin fall. Styles and Jarrett went toe-to-toe with both men not wanting to give-up this match to the other. Jarrett almost had the match won with a DDT, but Styles rolled the shoulder out but Jarrett quickly got a sleeper on Styles. Styles was almost passed out but had one more boost of energy left as he begins to fight back against Jarrett. Styles fights off and nails the pele kick out of nowhere. Styles gets a two count but quickly goes to the apron for the springboard 450 splash, but Jarrett got the knees up. Jarrett pulls himself up along with pulling Styles to his feet to nail the stroke, but Styles somehow kicks out! The ending sees Styles counter a second stroke into a school boy for the victory. Winner: TNA World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles Styles celebrates his victory before leaving the ring, as Jarrett seems shocked. Karen is yelling at Jarrett for losing as AJ Styles backs up the ramp. Styles gets to the top of the ramp and is attacked by Mr. Anderson! Anderson with a cheap shot to Styles before putting a few punches in onto the face of the champion. Anderson then nails a "Mic Check" onto the stage, as Styles' head cracks right into the stage. Anderson picks up the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and stares into it with a cold stare as the show closes. © TNA Entertainment, LLC 2011

[Rated R]

IMPACT:

- Solid opening promo from Styles to set the tone of his title match with Anderson. I'm a bit split on who I wan't to go over in this feud so I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do.
- Great win for Alex Shelley here, I can definitely see the winner of MCMG/ GenMe winning the entire thing. While I don't like the Hardy's as champions I wouldn't mind seeing them facing off with the Guns.
- Everytime I see Mickie James getting any kind of win over Sarita I cringe a little. I really hope you give Sarita the title at Hardcore Justice.
- Jennifer Blake? As in Girl Dynamite? If so epic addition to the knockouts roster and not one I think I've seen anyone do before. Bravo.
- Solid win for Samoa Joe and a Joe/ Daniels feud is awesome.
- Tag team match was a nice way to get these guys on the card and continue building their feuds without actual build. Deniro possibly joining Flair? Could be interesting.
- AJ Styles going over in the main event was the right call and Anderson taking Styles out to end the show worked well, although I'm surprised we didn't get an Anderson appearance somewhere during the show.
- Solid IMPACT and good build towards Hardcore Justice, which is shaping up to be a solid looking card.

[bountyhunterblood5]

Good show enjoy the storylines you got going for you.
A.J. and Anderson great buildup.
Shelley going over in the fatal 4 way good idea.
Gotta have Sarita over Mickie. Sarita is the ish.
JOE JOE JOE JOE
Tag match was good like the pairing of Lethal and Pope.
Good way to end the show A.J. and Anderson is a good change I must add.
9/10 great show really enjoyed the read.

TNA Wrestling: iMPACT! August 4, 2011 The Difference Between Anything & Everything Mr. Anderson made his way down to the ring and cut a promo on AJ Styles. He explains that Styles is an example of what is wrong with pro-wrestlers today, as everyone wants to make the fans happy by doing these flip moves instead of focusing on winning. Anderson explains he doesn't care what the fans think, because at the end of the day... their opinion doesn't matter. He says what matters is the numbers on his paycheck and the championships that he will hold. This brought out AJ Styles who had a counter-point to Anderson stating that he was an example of things that AJ Styles hates about the business, people who care about nothing more than money. He says that it's about coming out and putting on the best show for the fans, money is just a bonus. Anderson mocks Styles for caring about the fans, but reminds him... the fans won't help him keep that championship at "Hardcore Justice", before reinforcing the point of that he will do anything to be the World Heavyweight Champion. Anderson turned to leave, but Styles stopped him and said; "You may be willing to do anything to be the world champion, but I am willing to do everything to keep the TNA World Heavyweight Championship!". Anderson stares at AJ Styles before leaving the ring, as Styles watches him walk up the ramp. ________________________________________________________________________________ James Storm vs. Jesse Neal We open the wrestling side of iMPACT up with these two brawlers taking the fight to one another with an exchange of stiff right hands back and forth. Jesse Neal would get the best of Storm until Storm pulled off a "Last Call" super kick out of nowhere, for the win! Winner: "Cowboy" James Storm Backstage, Anderson is shown complaining to Jeff Jarrett about having to face Samoa Joe tonight. Anderson says that he shouldn't have to wrestle three days before his big championship match, stating that it was Dixie Carter trying to soften him up for Styles. Jarrett agrees but swears Anderson has nothing to worry about come Sunday. TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James vs. Rosita James looked to make quick work of Rosita - cousin of Sarita who will face James on Sunday - but it was quite a fight as Rosita looked to redeem herself for being pinned last week. It wasn't Rosita's night once again, as James would hit the "Mick-Kick" for the pinfall. Winner: Mickie James Post-Match, Sarita pulled her cousin out of the ring before yelling something to Mickie James in Spanish! Backstage, Tara talks about Jennifer Blake's comments about the Knockouts division. She says that Blake isn't going to come into TNA and put down a division that Tara worked so hard to help build up. Tara said that when Blake decides to show her face inside the "iMPACT Zone", she will come face-to-face with Tara! ________________________________________________________________________________ Christopher Daniels comes out and cuts a promo about not hearing from Samoa Joe about the challenge laid out last week by Daniels. He calls Joe a coward which brings out Samoa Joe, who gets in Daniels face. Joe tells Daniels that he keeps opening his mouth and saying things that he will learn to regret, telling Daniels that he accepts his challenge for "Hardcore Justice". This brings out Desmond Wolfe who cuts a promo on the stage about beating them in the past, so in reality... they are fighting for a shot to lose to Desmond Wolfe at "No Surrender", but he wishes them the best of luck. Joe has his back to Daniels looking up at Wolfe, so Daniels cheap shots Joe from behind but Joe quickly fights back and clotheslines Daniels out of the ring! Sting is shown coming down from the rafters and walking backstage to AJ Styles' locker room. He comes in and warns Styles that Anderson has a bigger plan at "Hardcore Justice", but Sting won't say what it is. Sting tells Styles to trust him, which Styles says that he does, but says that Sting is just paranoid. Styles walks out the locker room, leaving Sting telling himself... "I tried to warn him..." TNA X-Division Champion, Jay Lethal (with Ric Flair) vs. Eric Young in a non-title match We saw an interview during Eric Young's entrance, when he said he doesn't want to be the comedy boy anymore and looks at this match to get back on track. Young really showed that he is a great wrestler and not just a comedy act as he took the fight to Lethal from the opening bell. Lethal looked to be in trouble, but quickly proved why he is the X-Division Champion with a comeback. He put Lethal away with the "Lethal Injection" for the victory. Winner: Jay Lethal After the match, Lethal put the boots to Young before Kazarian ran down to make the save. Kazarian checked on Lethal and helped him to his feet, raising his hand in the air despite the loss as he stared up at Lethal. ________________________________________________________________________________ The TNA President, Dixie Carter came down to the ring and announced that she will be hiring someone to be the face of TNA management in the next few weeks. She states that for many years that she wanted to stay off television, but due to the situation with Hulk Hogan she was forced to appear on television to settle it. She claims that the person she hires will have the authority that they need and no more, she will not repeat the problems she had with Hulk Hogan. She thanks the fans for their support and hopes they enjoy the rest of the show, before plugging "Hardcore Justice". ________________________________________________________________________________ We return from commercial with an on-camear shot of Mike Tenay and Taz where they talk about the bombshell that Dixie Carter just dropped. They then run down the Hardcore Justice card before sending it to the ring. Max Buck vs. Alex Shelley The X-Division style really got to shine in this match with both men pulling out all the stops in this one. Shelley did start to ground Buck with more of a mat-wrestling style, but Buck kept fighting back. Buck would get the win with a roll-up and a handful of Shelley's tights for the win. Winner: Max Buck Shelley tried to explain to the official that Buck had his tights to no avail, Shelley would end up super-kicking Buck while he celebrated to the fans delight. Backstage, Samoa Joe is walking toward the staging area when he bumps into AJ Styles. Styles asks that Joe leaves some of Anderson for him at "Hardcore Justice", but Joe says that he can't guarantee that. Samoa Joe vs. Mr. Anderson Anderson spent most of the match stalling and trying to avoid Joe, but when Joe got his hands on Anderson, the match picked up. Joe would up having to go to the arena floor to get Anderson and from then on out, it was fair came for Joe. The two brawled around the ringside area and up the ramp a little bit, before it got back into the ring. Anderson fought back and almost hit the "Mic Check", but Joe blocked it and was able to hit a T-Bone suplex on Anderson. Joe would pick-up the victory following a "Muscle Buster". Winner: Samoa Joe After the match, Joe left the ring and headed backstage, while Anderson tried to pull himself up. The lights went down in the iMPACT Zone and when they came back on, Sting was standing in the ring holding his baseball bat in hand. Sting circled Anderson twisting the bat in his hand, until AJ Styles hit the ring. Styles snatched the bat from Sting and told him "not this way". Anderson bailed from the ring and backed up the ramp, as Styles told him: "No excuses after Sunday!" as Sting stood there shocked. The cameras fade to black! © TNA Entertainment, LLC 2011

TNA iMPACT: Thursday 21st July 2011...Mr Anderson's promo to kick off the show was for the best, one day he will get his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Did like his shot at Dixie Carter. Very brief angle, may I add. Strange that it opened the show. The Motor City Machine Guns with the win was for the best, the Rock 'n' Rave Infection is back? As long as Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave don't have their over-the-top gimmicks. Sarita beating Velvet Sky was seriously a breath of fresh air. I wish that Sarita would get a singles run, perhaps going for the TNA Womens Knockout Championship in the future. Rosita is holding her back. Mickie James making the save made sense. Jeff Jarrett and Anderson's segment was intriguing. Kazarian beating Robbie E was expected. Why does E still have a job? Beer Money, Inc beating Rob Terry and Bully Ray is for the better. Terry and Ray sounds like an awful combination though. Daniels' promo was good, excited for Daniels and Samoa Joe to go at it once again. I like that you've built the TNA World Television Championship up credibly. Good win for Matt Morgan, I hate Hernandez. Didn't do a lot for me though. AJ Styles and Sting beating Anderson and Jarrett was a solid main event, could see AJ and Anderson facing off at Hardcore Justice. Not a bad show overall.

TNA iMPACT: Thursday 28th July 2011...Good promo to kick off the show with AJ Styles in the ring, explaining the situation with Styles and Mr Anderson. Should be a decent main event at Hardcore Justice for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Wild fatal four-way match with participants of teams, Alex Shelley winning was unexpected; pinning James Storm as well was odd. They're favourites to win the Tag Team Quest. Wish that was explained more, or is it just a tag team tournament? Mickie James and Velvet Sky beating Rosita and Sarita was a decent main event, looking forward to Sarita facing Mickie; I telegraphed it in last week's reply. Jennifer Blake, interesting...Samoa Joe beating Scott Steiner is always the best decision. Didn't do a lot for me though. Daniels' segments in this feud with Samoa Joe are gold. Definitely my favourite aspect of the diary at the moment. Jay Lethal and D'Angelo Dinero against Matt Morgan and Kazarian certainly is a clash of styles. Surprised to see Kazarian pin Dinero rather than the TNA X-Division Champion. AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett is definitely something we've seen a lot of before. Styles with the win was really for the best. Was surprised at the clean finish though. Hopefully Jarrett has something lined up for Hardcore Justice. Decent episode.

TNA iMPACT: Thursday 4th August 2011...Nice graphic for Bound For Glory. I'd switch up the opening promo spots from Mr Anderson and AJ Styles in upcoming weeks. It seems like they always open the show. Daniels or Samoa Joe would have been excellent opening the show, their feud is one of the top storylines anyway. Further build for Hardcore Justice this Sunday. James Storm beating Jesse Neal was very predictable. Lack of Robert Roode competing though; he didn't compete last week either. Mickie James defeating Rosita prepares us for Sarita and Mickie's match this Sunday. Daniels with another fantastic promo. Liked Desmond Wolfe finally getting involved; again like Jeff Jarrett, wish they were doing something for Hardcore Justice. Jay Lethal beating Eric Young was obvious. Young is unentertaining as the serious character, by the way. Wondering if Lethal manages to defend the TNA X-Division Championship successfully against Kazarian. Max Buck beating Alex Shelley was an interesting move, I hate Generation ME though. Lack of Chris Sabin in action, much like Roode earlier. Lastly, Samoa Joe beating Mr Anderson was a fair decision. Another clean main event was odd. Liked Sting stalking Anderson. Overall, good build for Hardcore Justice. I'm only interested in the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, TNA World Television Championship and TNA X-Division Championship matches though. Nothing else screams attention to me. I feel your build should have involved Jeff Jarrett, Sting and Desmond Wolfe more. As well as the Hardys. They're lost in the mix it seems.

Give TNA 2004 a reply.

Live from Orlando, Florida
August 7th, 2011

We see a video package highlighting everything that was brought us to "Hardcore Justice" before we move inside the iMPACT Zone to see the opening pyrotechnics.

Beer Money Inc vs Ink Inc in a "Tag Team Quest" Match
This was a semi-final match with the winners moving to "No Surrender" to the finals, so both teams came into this very focused. The match opened up with James Storm working over Jesse Neal, as they both used a brawling style. Storm was getting the best of Neal, until a thumb to the eye allowed Neal to take advantage. Neal worked over Storm - mainly his back - and controlled the match from there, not allowing Storm to make the tag to Roode. Neal made the tag to Moore and the two worked together for a few moments, as Roode tried to get in to help his partner but the official stopped him. We would finally see Storm get the tag to Roode who came in with a full head of steam, taking it to both members of Ink Inc. It wasn't long until Storm had recovered and we saw the Beer Money Suplex, for a two count. Beer Money Inc., would seal the deal with the "Drinking While Investing" for the victory.
Winner: Beer Money Inc.,

Mickie James (c) vs. Sarita for the TNA Knockouts Championship
Sarita would jump Mickie James during her entrance and would take the fight to James on the floor. The two Knockouts would brawl around the ringside area where James' nose would be busted open after being rammed into the guard rail. The action finally got into the ring and James made her comeback, but Sarita cut it short with a hurricarana out of nowhere. James wouldn't be able to come back from the pre-match assault, as Sarita would nail the "La Reienera" for the victory.
Winner: Sarita (new knockouts champion)

[/b]

Matt Morgan vs. D'Angelo Dinero
These two have been going at it for the past month as they both look to settle it here, with Dinero going straight over the leg of Matt Morgan which is still taped up from the assault at "Destination X". Dinero worked over the leg for the majority of the match, but this didn't stop the comeback by Matt Morgan who started fighting back by kicking Dinero off with his good leg, sending Dinero across the ring. Morgan would limp his way to a victory when he would grab Dinero and nail the "Hellevator" for the pin fall.
Winner: Matt Morgan

Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels
From the opening bell, these two set-out to tear the house down. They started off with a slow mat based style with Joe trying to wear down the legs and arms of Daniels, setting up for a big submission but Daniels would keep coming back with an assault of his own. Daniels would end up hitting a running STO on Joe, who would roll out of the ring and to the arena floor to catch his breathe, but Daniels wouldn't allow it. Daniels would hit a moonsault off the apron onto a standing Samoa Joe, as the crowd loses their mind. Daniels would control the match from this point on with an assault of kicks and submissions, trying to wear down Joe, but it wasn't working as each time Joe would get to the ropes or fight out of the submission. The final moments would see Daniels attempt the "Best Moonsault Ever", but Joe moved out of the way causing Daniels to crash and burn on the mat. This allowed Joe to take advantage and set Daniels up for the "Muscle Buster" and nails it. Joe makes the cover and pulls off the victory!
Winner: Samoa Joe

Jay Lethal (c) [w/ Ric Flair] vs. Kazarian for the TNA X-Division Championship
The bell sounds as Lethal and Kazarian lock up in the center of the ring, with Kazarian quickly getting Lethal into a side headlock before using it as a take down method. Kazarian would keep Lethal grounded for a few moments until Lethal got his foot on the rope and Kazarian was forced to break the hold. Kazarian broke the hold and Lethal immediately rolled down to the arena floor, but Kazarian was going to allow him to get away that easy and went after him. When Lethal saw Kazarian coming out of the ring, he took off running around the ring with Kazarian chasing him, before he would slide into the ring. This was the moment that the tide changed as Lethal was able to take advantage as soon as Kazarian slid in the ring, with an elbow to the back of Kazarian as he slid into the ring. This is the moment where Lethal would show just how talented he is, regardless if you hate him. He would totally dominate Kazarian with a flurry of shots to Kazarian, before making a cover but only getting a two count. Lethal would attempt the "Figure Four" on Kazarian, but he would be pushed off by the free leg of Kazarian, though Kazarian wasn't able to make a comeback because Lethal was right back on the attack. Kazarian would finally start making a comeback when Lethal had him in a sleeper in the middle of the ring, with Kazarian refusing to submit. Kazarian pushed himself up, but Lethal wasn't letting go of the sleeper and wrapped his legs around the torso of Kazarian. Kazarian would wind up backing Lethal into the turnbuckles on all four corners, which finally caused Lethal to let go of the sleeper. Kazarian would use this as a tool for the rest of the match, working over the back of Lethal with a few back breakers but could never finish the match off, but one time was due to Ric Flair who grabbed the leg of Lethal and put it on the bottom rope. Kazarian then became pre-occupied with Flair, allowing Lethal to hit a sneak attack from behind. Lethal hit the "Lethal Injection", but would go to the top rope to try and seal the deal which was a mistake. Kazarian would recover - still dazed - and block Lethal's attempt and would move onto the top rope to attempted the "Flux Capacitor", but Lethal fought it him off and Kazarian would fall to the center of the ring. This allowed Lethal to hit a diving head-butt, but Kazarian would kick out! Lethal was in disbelief at the kick-out, but would stay focused on the task at hand. It wasn't but a few moments later until Lethal would seal the deal by nailing the "Lethal Injection" again, to score the pin fall victory.
Winner: Jay Lethal (still x-division champion) [/b]

The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Generation Me in a "Tag Team Quest" Match
The bell sounds as Max Buck and Alex Shelley circle the ring, really sizing one another up. The two finally lock up despite some hesitation by Max Buck, who really didn't seem to want to open the match against Shelley. The two battle with a little chain wrestling spot that you really don't expect from these two teams, but it ended with both men standing off in a stance. They both would tag in their partners who would take their shot in the match, but Jeremy Buck would take the low rode with a knee to the gut instead of locking up with Sabin. This wouldn't set well with Sabin who would come back and slap the taste out of Jeremy Buck's mouth, which just turned into a fight between these two. They both would get their frustrations out on one another, before Buck would try to turn it into a wrestling match. This was a good game plan by Jeremy Buck as he would take control of the match as he couldn't match Sabin during the brawl on the mat. The two would work each other over for a few moments until a super-kick by Jeremy would turn the tides of the entire match. This would allow Generation Me to control the rest of the match, with Sabin trying time and time again to get to Alex Shelley to make the tag. The double team moves by Generation Me would really work over Sabin as his kick out times really started to shrink, with Shelley having to start breaking up covers. Shelley was really frustrated with Jackson James for allowing the team work, but telling him to stay out of the ring when he would break up a cover. Sabin would take a risk at one point and kick Max Buck (who was now the legal man) off and get to Shelley to make the tag. Shelley came in all fired up and went straight after Max Buck, giving him some really hard hits. Jeremy Buck would try to intervene in the attack, but Shelley would super-kick him with such force, he would flop out of the ring between the first and second rope. Shelley was on such a roll, that he didn't even attempt to get Sabin to come in for a double team move, as he just took car of Max all by himself. Shelley would nail the sliced bread #2 for a two count. It was lucky for Shelley that Sabin had recovered and the two would nail "Skull and Bones", on Max Buck. Jeremy Buck would come into the ring but would get a double super kick for his troubles. Shelley makes the cover on Max Buck and pulls off the victory!
Winner: The Motor City Machine Guns [/b]

AJ Styles (c) vs. Mr. Anderson for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
The bell sounds as the two lock up in the center of the ring with Anderson quickly getting control with a side headlock on Styles, but Styles quickly shoots Anderson off the ropes and knocks him down with a shoulder block. Anderson quickly scurried to the corner, calling for a time-out but Styles came after him only to get a thumb to the eye! Anderson worked over Styles from this point with various moves, trying to wear down the champion but was barely able to get a two count following all of it. Anderson quickly seemed to get frustrated that nothing was working against the champion, so he grabbed Styles leg and drug him to the ring post and wrapped his leg around the post. Styles screamed in pain while the fans boo Anderson, who mocks Styles' cries of pain. Anderson - from this point - would start working more of a submission based assault targeting the right leg of Styles, but the champion refused to give up at any point during this contest. Styles would attempt to fight back but was obviously was a disadvantage with the banged up leg, but Styles wouldn't stop him from nailing a drop kick on Anderson, doing more harm to Styles than it was worth. Styles drug his injured leg across the ring as he covered Anderson for a two count, but he refused to give up as he went to the apron. Styles took a few deep breathes before attempting a Springboard 450 splash, but his knee gave out on him and he tumbled off the ropes down to the apron before landing on the floor. Anderson quickly exited the ring and took control, where he would attempt a "Mic Check" on the floor, but Styles fought back and sent Anderson into the ring post. It wasn't long until both men were so banged up that they were barley able to stand on their own power, before they nailed a double-clothesline on one another. This led to the official putting in the count, but both making it up (with help of the ropes) at a count of eight and a half. It wasn't a good thing for senior official Earl Hebner as he was quickly at the wrong place at the wrong time, as Styles crashed into him when he attempted to clothesline Anderson. The clothesline sent Hebner to the mat which he would hit in his head and appeared to be knocked out from this point. Anderson and Styles kept the match going, and Styles would nail a "Pele" kick out of nowhere. Styles begins trying to revive the official, when he sees Eric Bischoff walking down the side of the ramp, Styles is threw off by this which allows Anderson to recover and attack Styles from behind. Hulk Hogan soon joins Bischoff as the crowd goes off with boos! Styles beings fighting back against Anderson and before you know it, Styles is in full control and nails a drop kick on Anderson! Styles seems to have injured his wrist though as he is clutching it with his back to Anderson who is crawling toward the ropes. Hogan offers Anderson a steel chair, to which he accepts! Anderson pushes himself up using the chair and stalks Styles, before cracking him in the skull once he turns around. Anderson tosses the chair to the arena floor and makes the cover, as Hebner makes his recovery. Anderson is about to win the championship, but Styles gets his shoulder up as the crowd explodes with cheers! Hogan and Bischoff are flipping out on the arena floor, as Anderson is in complete disbelief at the kick-out. Anderson sets-up the "Mic Check", but Styles hits a couple of elbows and gets out of it, then sets Anderson up for a "Styles Clash" but Anderson tries to fight it and gets near the ropes to which he flips Styles over the ropes and to the arena floor! Styles is wrenching in pain for a few moments, while Anderson is being told to stay back by the official. Hulk Hogan uses the official's back being turned to nail Styles in the face with the World Championship Belt. Anderson comes down to the arena floor and rolls Styles into the ring, before hitting the "Mic Check". Anderson makes the cover... and the official counts... 1.....2.....3! Anderson just stole the world title from AJ Styles!
Winner: And new TNA World Heavyweight Champion... Mr. Anderson!

Anderson celebrates his victory as Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff climb into the ring to celebrate with him. The fans are almost ready to riot with huge amount of boos as they begin to toss garbage into the ring, knowing that Styles just got screwed. Kazarian and Beer Money Inc. came down to the ringside area and help Styles to the back, all three very obviously angry at just went down. The show concludes with Anderson having his hands raised in the air by Hogan and Bischoff.

[Deleted]

- Beer Money winning is always a great thing. I'm glad Ink Inc. didn't defeat them, that would SUUUCCKKK.
- Sarita winning the title is interesting. I like Mickie, but I'm glad for the title to be on someone else, specially someone as good as Sarita.
- I could have went either way on this match, I'm a fan of both. Part of me wishes Dinero woulda won, but I'm happy for Morgan.
- Here is my only real complaint. I really wish Daniels woulda won. It's woulda been really interesting to see where it woulda gone and how Daniels woulda ran with it, but idk what you will do here so I'll see.
- Cool to see Lethal as champ, although I'm interested to as who will defeat him. HOPEFULLY A GATTACA GUY!?!?
- Mega happy MCMGs beat the poons that are the Young Bucks. I woulda legit been mad had you made the Guns lose (Especially because I'm booking them good in GATTACA)
- Great ass**** ending there to get the belt on Anderson. Looking forward to seeing who Styles ****s up for it. Anderson has been wanting that belt for awhile, AND HAD TO CHEAT TO WIN IT! THE BASTARD! Hopefully Styles beats Hogan and his old balls.


*Thumbs Up*

[Rated R]

Hardcore Justice:

- Solid win for Beer Money Inc to kick off the show. I'm so glad Ink Inc didn't get the win here, they're such a pointless team and they really aren't worthy of a spot in the finals.
- It's about time Sarita took the Knockout's Championship, I've been calling for this for like two months of in game time. But hey, it's happened now so I expect to see a lengthy reign for her.
- Solid match between Dinero and Morgan, it's good to see both of these two getting some solid pay per view time. I was a little surprised to see Morgan go over with the leg injury, it could have been a good chance to put Dinero over as the scheming heel by working on the leg.
- Joe/ Daniels was a big match and I like that it had some incentive to it with the TV title match. Joe going over was the best call to set up Joe/ Wolfe 2. Should be one hell of a match.
- Great X-Division championship match, I'm really liking Lethal and Flair's partnership and I'm hoping that it leads to bigger things after he eventually loses the title. Having him retain the title was the obvious move here, I'm looking forward to seeing who he feuds with after Kazarian.
- MCMG/ Gen Me would be an amazing match to watch, they're the two most exciting teams in the division. The Guns going over was right for this tournament since Beer Money/ MCMG should put on one hell of a finals and I'm split on who's actually going over in it.
- Great main event and brilliant work to get the belt on Anderson, having him aligning himself with Hogan and Bischoff in order to get the title is a great end to his hunt to get the belt. Obviously Anderson/ Styles isn't over yet but I'm hoping Anderson is going to have the title for a good while.
- Well written and solidly booked show overall, with plenty of build for the next month. Keep up the good work.

TNA Wrestling: iMPACT! August 11, 2011 Immortal... Forever? A video package airs looking back at the ending of "Hardcore Justice" with Hulk Hogan screwing AJ Styles out of the World Championship, giving Mr. Anderson the championship. The music of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles kicks off the show as he walks down to the ring with a purpose, obviously angry over what went down on Sunday. He cuts a promo about being screwed out of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, saying that he understands wanting to be the World Champion, but that Mr. Anderson sold his soul to become champion. He says that he is tired of people like Anderson who use these dirty tactics to accomplish a goal, while destroying the prestige of the World Championship. This brings out Mr. Anderson who counter-points Styles, by telling him that a winner doesn't make excuses when the other team plays the game. Styles fires back stating the World Championship isn't some prop, it means everything to him when Anderson cuts him off by saying that it means the same thing to him. He reminded Styles that he said from the very start of things that he would do anything to be the World Champion, which is what he did and Styles would just have to get over it. Styles was done talking and bailed from the ring to head up the ramp to Anderson, but security guards cut him off. Anderson mocks Styles from the top of the ramp as security holds Styles back, but Fortune appears on the top of the ramp behind Anderson! Anderson turns around and gets attacked by Fortune until more security guards comes out to pull them off Anderson, and he bails to backstage. Styles and Fortune are shown trying to get security off them as we fade to commercial. ________________________________________________________________________________ We return from commercial with Fortune (Styles, Kazarian, Beer Money) being walked to their locker room by security guards. They're questioned by the camera man about what happened out there, to which Kazarian explained that it was just the first taste of Fortune that Anderson and his new found friends aren't going to get. Styles says that he is going to have a few "words" with Hulk Hogan and see just how big of a man Hogan is! Robbie E (with Cookie) vs. Eric Young These two fought back and forth with both of them looking to impress whomever the new face of TNA management will be before they arrive. It wasn't Robbie E's night as Eric Young would pick up a victory following the "Youngblood Neckbreaker" for the pin fall. Winner: Eric Young Backstage, The Hardy Brothers talk about The Motor City Machine Guns and Beer Money Inc., as they will face one of them at "Bound for Glory". They say that it doesn't matter which team wins the tournament because the championships on their shoulders are proof that they are the best in the world. In the parking lot, Hulk Hogan is shown arriving at the building along with Eric Bischoff. They're questioned by an off-camera interviewer about why they helped Anderson win the championship, but Hogan says he will explain it in the ring later tonight! ________________________________________________________________________________ Mickie James vs. Rosita Rosita took the fight to James from the opening bell, looking to take out James before "No Surrender" - when she will cash in her rematch clause against Sarita - but it wouldn't happen tonight. Mickie James would fight back against Rosita and pull off the win with the "Kiss of Death". Winner: Mickie James Another Jennifer Blake promo airs this time she is shown sitting in a gym: "The knockouts have been anti-diva since the division was born in 2007, but they are just hypocrites at the end of the day. You have Velvet Sky rubbing all over the second rope, like a stripper would a stripper pole. How is that not being a diva? You are just playing dress up as pro-wrestlers and embarrass yourself on a weekly basis. I have seem to hit a nerve with few of the knockouts including Tara, who says she is going to confront me when I make my debut. I've got a message for you Tara, I'm not afraid of you or whatever tricks you have up your sleeves. I'm going to be in the iMPACT Zone next week and I look forward to your warm welcome!" We see some of the knockouts (Velvet Sky, Mickie James, Daffney, etc) talking amongst themselves about Blake's video package. Tara comes in and assures them that she will take care of the problem! ________________________________________________________________________________ The music of Hulk Hogan plays throughout the iMPACT Zone as he, Eric Bischoff, and Jeff Jarrett make their way down to the ring. Hogan cuts a promo stating that ever since "Lockdown" when AJ Styles pinned him, he has had a hard time looking himself in the mirror, stating that a guy like Styles shouldn't be able to lace his boots! He also puts over how Dixie Carter embarrassed him and Bischoff with the crappy jobs she made them due, when they have done nothing to her. He says that the reason he cost AJ Styles the World Championship is simple... business! He says that Immortal is back and better than ever being lead by Mr. Anderson, since they now have power on their side with the world championship! This brings out "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles who counterpoints Hulk Hogan stating that Hogan has proven that he is nothing more than an egotistical bastard! Styles says that if Hogan wants to prove that he's better than AJ Styles, all he had to do was ask for the chance and Styles would have given it to him. Hogan questions what AJ Styles means, to which he explains that he will get his rematch at "No Surrender" so he will be busy that night, but lays down a challenge to Hogan at "Bound for Glory". If Styles defeats Hogan than Hogan and Bischoff are gone from TNA... forever, but if Hogan wins... then Styles will leave pro-wrestling. Styles lays down the microphone on the stage and walks out without Hogan responding. ________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage, Hulk Hogan is shown meeting with the rest of the new "Immortal" as he reacts to AJ Styles' challange. Hogan says that he should teach the "punk kid" a lesson, but says that he doubts Styles will make it to "Bound for Glory" after the ass kicking Mr. Anderson gives him at "No Surrender". Anderson and Jarrett walk away, but as Hogan starts to walk away, Bischoff stops him. Bischoff questions Hogan accepting the challange, which Hogan seemingly takes offense to and tells Bischoff that he doesn't need the negativity. The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Bully Ray & Rob Terry The team of Shelley and Sabin were at a disadvantage against the power team of Ray and Terry, who are hoping to gain momentum following their elimination in the tag tournament earlier this month. Shelley and Sabin were able to overcome the power game and pick up the victory following the "AS/CS Rush" on Rob Terry. Winners: The Motor City Machine Guns Backstage, Beer Money Inc are show sitting by a monitor watching Sabin and Shelley celebrate. They talk amongst themselves about their history with the Machine Guns, but says they need to have a "heart to heart" with the boys next week. ________________________________________________________________________________ TNA World Television Champion, Desmond Wolfe vs. Chris Prospect (GATTACA: Project) Desmond Wolfe laid out another open challenge for his TNA World Television Champion, which was accepted by Chris Prospect of the Japanense promotion of GATTACA: Project. Prospect looked to bring the TNA World Television Championship home to Japan, but it wasn't meant to be. Desmond Wolfe was able to put away Prospect after a hard fought match with the "London Calling" to retain the championship. Winner: Desmond Wolfe (still World Television Champion) Post-match, Samoa Joe came down to the ring and got in Wolfe's face. The two exchanged words but never turned violent, before Wolfe would leave the ring. Backstage, Kurt Angle is shown heading down the hallway for the main event. When Christopher Daniels appears beside him and follows him. Angle questions what he is doing, to which Daniels explains that he is getting some television time in. He says he isn't booked yet Angle gets on TV for walking down a hallway. Angle tells Daniels that he needs to send TNA management a message instead of complaning all the time. Daniels stops in his tracks as Angle contiues walking down the hall. Kurt Angle vs. "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero The fans were treated to Kurt Angle in action here on iMPACT, which is always a treat. Dinero looked for a victory here against Angle, which could be his biggest win of his career. It wasn't going Dinero's way for some of the match, but he was steadily fighting back when Angle put him down with a belly-to-belly suplex. This allowed Angle to lock him in the "Ankle Lock", but Dinero would kick Angle off. Angle would end up clipping the official who went down holding his knee, which Angle stopped and checked on him. Angle would turn around and get hit with a running STO by Christopher Daniels! Daniels would then nail the "Angels Wings" on Angle, handing Dinero the victory! Winner: "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero Dinero celebrated his (stolen) victory, but Daniels would roll in the ring with a steel chair to which Dinero would back off and allow Daniels to finish his business. Daniels would wait for Angle to pull himself up and crack him in the skull with the chair busting him open. He would pick Angle up and then DDT him on the steel leaving Angle laying. Daniels would scream at Angle, "DO I HAVE THEIR ATTENTION NOW!" - Daniels would stand over Angle as we fade to black. © TNA Entertainment, LLC 2011

TNA Wrestling: iMPACT! August 18, 2011 There Is No Surrender The show kicks off with a look back at last week's iMPACT. We see all the action between AJ Styles and the new Immortal along with Christopher Daniels and Kurt Angle. "Gold Medal" kicks off the show as Angle comes down to the ring from backstage, not even using his entrance lift on the stage. He quickly makes it clear that he wants to talk about Christopher Daniels. Angle says that he understands the point that Daniels was trying to get across, he was wanting to prove himself to the new face of TNA management. He informs Daniels that the mistake he made was choosing Angle to send that message through, stating he won't get away with it. Angle states that he isn't going to stand around and allow someone to walk all over him, telling Daniels that he better grow eyes in the back of his head because Angle will hunt him down. Backstage, Eric Bischoff and Jeff Jarrett are talking about the challenge that AJ Styles laid down to Hulk Hogan. They are both in agreement that Hogan shouldn't accept the challenge, when Hulk walks up. He asks what they were talking about, which Bischoff tried to explain that they didn't think he shouldn't accept the challenge. Hogan said that he is tired of people trying to control him from his ex-wife to his agents... stating he will decide if he wants to face AJ Styles at "Bound for Glory". Hogan brushes past them as Jarrett and Bischoff just look at each other. Kazarian vs. Gunner Gunner looked to get back into the game as he makes his first TNA appearance in a few months, but he had a big task ahead of him as Kazarian was fired up tonight. Gunner tried to use his size and power advantage, but it was Kazarian's quickness that would be most effective. Kazarian would hit the "Fade to Black" for the pin fall victory on Gunner. Winner: Kazarian Kazarian got on the microphone after the match and announced that he would cash in his rematch clause for the X-Division Championship, but Jay Lethal came out onto the stage on crutches. He announced that he was injured at "Hardcore Justice" and wouldn't be able to wrestle Kazarian at "No Surrender", then turned to leave. Kazarian informs him that he never stated when he was cashing in his rematch informing Lethal that he is going to cash it in at "Bound for Glory". Kazarian then informed him that he was going to have a very special challenge for Ric Flair which was to a match at "No Surrender"! Flair got on the microphone and yelled that Kazarian didn't want a piece of him, but Kazarian insisted he did. He said that each time he has challenged Lethal, Flair has cost him the championship... but not this time because he was going to take Flair out before "Bound for Glory". Flair said that Kazarian wasn't man enough to face him, but Kazarian wasn't baking down. Flair would finally agree to the challenge, but said that if Kazarian lost... his rematch challenge was void and Kazarian agreed. ________________________________________________________________________________ Tara vs. Madison Rayne The former allies collide here on iMPACT with Tara taking it to Madison Rayne. Tara would control most of the match, but wouldn't be able to close the deal as Rayne would kick out of everything that Tara threw at her. The ending saw Tara setting up for the "Widow's Peak", but she was distracted when Jennifer Blake appeared on the stage. She toosed Rayne to the side and challenged Blake to get into the ring, which allowed Rayne to roll Tara up for the victory. Winner: Madsion Rayne After the match, Blake mockingly waved to Tara who then would charge at her but security intervened before Tara could reach her. A video package aired highlighting the past matches between Beer Money Inc., and The Motor City Machine Guns. Beer Money will call out The Motor City Machine Guns later tonight! Backstage, Tara reacts to Jennifer Blake costing her the match against Madison Rayne. Tara declares that he won't allow some outsider to come in and bad mouth the division that all the knockouts have busted their butts to put on the map as the elite women's wrestling division. She throws down the challenge to Blake to face her at "No Surrender" and dares her to accept it. ________________________________________________________________________________ We return with Beer Money Inc., already standing in the ring as they call out The Motor City Machine Guns who come down to the ring. Robert Roode spoke first, "We both respect the two of you and everything you have done, but you haven't done the things we have done. We are four time tag team champions as a unit and held countless other tag championships with former partners. You two will never hold a candle to the success that we are as a tag team and you know it". Shelley interrupted Roode and fired back, "We get the fact that you two think you are the greatest of all time, that's fine. We don't need run down of your wikipedia page, we know that you are great and we aren't here to deny that. We are here to deny you of the chance at the TNA World Tag Team Titles at Bound for Glory. You can say that you are the best in the world until you both are blue in the face, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is when the bell rings at No Surrender, you are stepping into the ring with the very best". The two teams stare each other down until The Hardy Brothers come onto the stage. They both mock the anger between two teams that are supposed to respect each other, but says that they both are wrong about who the best in the world are, because they're the best and the belts on their shoulders prove it. They wish both teams the best of luck at "No Surrender", sarcastically. Beer Money and MCMG stare up at the brother tandem as they disappear to the back. Backstage, Kurt Angle is looking for Christopher Daniels when he bumps into AJ Styles. Angle tells Styles that he needs to get his friend in line, but Styles says that he has no idea what is going on with Daniels. Angle doesn't seem to trust Styles answer and makes that clear, so Styles suggest that if Angle has some sort of issue with Daniels... he confronts Daniels, not Styles. The two share a glare before Angle keeps searching for Daniels. Samoa Joe vs. Scott Steiner These two brawlers lit into one another with a back and forth struggle in the match. Joe really worked over Steiner, almost like he was sending a message to Desmond Wolfe about what could happen at "No Surrender". Steiner would attempt to pick up the victory with the "Flatliner", but Joe would kick out. Joe would finally force Steiner to submit to the rear naked choke to score the victory. Winner: Samoa Joe Backstage, Sting is shown walking down the steps from the rafters heading toward the ring. Sting will speak out.... next! ________________________________________________________________________________ "The Icon" Sting makes his way to the ring with a microphone in hand, seemingly in a different mood than usual. He cuts a promo on the "new" Immortal stating that he tried to warn AJ Styles, but he refused to listen. Sting says that he is done being the warning light for everyone in TNA for them to ignore him, that he will take matters into his own hands and hunt down Immortal to destroy them for good. This brings out "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero who questions why Sting always thinks he is some night in shining armor, saying that he always thinks he has to be the one to save the day. Dinero reminds him that a few weeks ago, he dominated the battle royal against Sting, why can't he be the savior of TNA? Sting says that Dinero can't save the day because he doesn't know Hogan and Bischoff the way Sting does, which Dinero tells Sting that maybe he doesn't know HOgan and Bischoff the way that Sting thinks he does. Dinero turns to leave but Sting stops him and questions what he meant, but Dinero said nothing. Sting seemed that he was going to shrug it off, but instead took his trademark bat to Dinero. Sting would bust Dinero open before choking him with the bat until security hit the ring to pull Sting off. Dinero is laid out a bloody mess as we fade into a video package. A video package airs hyping up "No Surrender" on September 11th, stating that a match can't end in submission! Christopher Daniels vs. "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan Matt Morgan seemed to be back to 100% following his recent leg injury sustained at the hands of "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero, but it still remains a target as Christopher Daniels worked over the leg for a majority of the match. Morgan tried to mount a comback and nail the "Carbon Footprint", but his leg gave out on him. This allowed Daniels to beat him down before hitting the "Best Moonsault Ever" for the victory. Winner: Christopher Daniels After the match, Kurt Angle makes a bee-line for the ring but Daniels bails from the ring and leaves through the crowd, with Angle right behind him! ________________________________________________________________________________ When we return from commercial we see Daniels running through the parking lot with Angle chasing him, screaming that he better run. Daniels gets into his car and floors it, leaving Angle in the dust. Angle reaches into his pants pocket and grabs his car keys and gets in the car, with the cameraman in the backseat. Angle then floors it after Daniels! Backstage, Mr. Anderson is heading toward the ring for the main event. He is going to face Desmond Wolfe and it's next. ________________________________________________________________________________ TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Mr. Anderson vs. TNA World Television Champion, Desmond Wolfe The two top champions in TNA Wrestling battled it on for bragging rights in this non-title contest. Anderson took control of the match early on and wore down Wolfe, almost winning the match following a suplex but Wolfe kicked out. Wolfe would fight back and try to pick up a huge victory, but Anderson kicked out of the lariat. Anderson would finally close the match with a "Mic Check" for the victory. Winner: Mr. Anderson Mr. Anderson celebrates his victory and stares up at AJ Styles who was on commentary to - seemingly - close the show. A video then airs of TNA President, Dixie Carter announcing that the new face of TNA Management would make his first appearance at "No Surrender"! © TNA Entertainment, LLC 2011

[DTP.]

TNA Hardcore Justice: Sunday 7th August 2011...Strange call for the opening contest, but it made a bit of sense at least. Beer Money Inc with the win made more sense, as if Ink Inc. won then it would ruin the more over Beer Money's credibility. Sarita winning the TNA Womens Knockout Championship is a fantastic move, very happy about that. Mickie James hopefully stays away from the title from now on. Matt Morgan beating D'Angelo Dinero was a fair move, wouldn't have been a great match in the slightest though. Samoa Joe beating Daniels was the right move, Daniels, in his current lean appearance, does not look like he could beat Joe whatsoever anymore. Jay Lethal retaining the TNA X-Division Championship hurt Kazarian. This was Kazarian's second title shot in the space of two pay-per-views, and should have won him the title this time. I do like your work with Lethal and Ric Flair's combination though. Great match between the Motor City Machine Guns and Generation ME; this should have opened the show. Good that the Machine Guns won; I hate the Young Bucks. Great main event win for Mr Anderson against AJ Styles; it seemed likely that Anderson would be winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the first place. He's chased it for so long anyway. Overall, decent show, could have used a bit better ordering (the Tag Team Quest matches looked oddly placed) and also should have featured backstage segments.

TNA iMPACT: Thursday 11th August 2011...AJ Styles' promo was quite good, but him saying that he was screwed sort've makes him come off as a whiny bitch. Fortune attacking the brash and arrogant Mr Anderson was nice, I guess we'll have this match again at No Surrender. Eric Young and Robbie E...such a weak opening contest. I hate Robbie. The Hardys have been looking out of place for months; when was their last match anyway? I could see Beer Money Inc going to Bound For Glory; much bigger and more credible than the Motor City Machine Guns. Jeff and Matt should be doing something better than this though, really. Mickie James beating Rosita was elementary. Mickie's the one getting the rematch with Sarita at No Surrender anyway. Jennifer Blake...interesting. Weird involvement from the other Knockouts though. Blake is the new sh*t it looks like. Good promo from Hulk Hogan, setting up Bound For Glory! Excellent. Hulk Hogan and Styles though? That sounds awful. Styles doesn't look credible enough for this either. Will be a great way to push Eric Bischoff and Hogan out of TNA though. The Motor City Machine Guns beating Bully Ray and Rob Terry...f*ck Rob Terry, you should be pushing the daylights out of Ray. Desmond Wolfe beating Chris Prospect showed the prestige of the TNA World Television Championship, and a great example of the cross-promotion tactic between TNA and GATTACA: Project. D'Angelo Dinero making a main event was a strange one. Good win against Kurt Angle, but he doesn't fit in this at all; it was just done to promote Daniels and Angle's new feud. Will be interesting; Daniels and Dinero would make a great alliance. Not a bad show, just some odd structures made.

TNA iMPACT: Thursday 18th August 2011...Kurt Angle's promo was fair, nice opposition from Daniels' attack last week. Kazarian beating Gunner was predictable; Gunner hasn't been seen in a while. Push Gunner, seriously. He's not that bad a worker in my estimation. Good promo from Kazarian afterwards. Wondering what you could do for Kazarian to feud with Jay Lethal into October. Kazarian and Ric Flair will be a solid match. Question for No Surrender. What is its purpose when it's just minor TV-related build for Bound For Glory? It'll get low ratings if you don't have some strong matches, saving for Bound For Glory or not. Madison Rayne beatign Rara was fair. Liked Jennifer Blake's cameo. Wondering what she could do. Good promo with Beer Money Inc, certainly promoted the feud with the Motor City Machine Guns. They've fought too many times in the past year. You should add the losing team at No Surrender to the TNA World Tag Team Championship match at Bound For Glory...three-way Full Metal Mayhem. TNA's version of the TLC II match. Samoa Joe beating Scott Steiner was predicted, they always have good matches. Sting's promo was good, liked how he walked into a feud with D'Angelo Dinero. Daniels beating Matt Morgan cleanly...hate. He doesn't look THAT credible anymore. Mr Anderson beating Desmond Wolfe was a good main event, albeit strange. Both are heels, too. Overall, nothing too special, just more build for the long awaited Bound For Glory.

Just before I begin, so glad to see that you're sticking with this, and doing an Impact Wrestling rename diary. I worried a lot that you would, but you took the sensible decision and stuck with this. Would however, like to see you work the renaming into this diary. Love that Daniels is getting a shot at the top of the card with Angle. Could do wonder for him and his career. Hogan/Styles I feel is an inevitability, and needs to happen! Kazarian vs Flair could do wonders for him as well, glad Lethal is working with Flair in a different role than opponents too. Its nice and fresh. I like the character off Jennifer Blake being a diva in a wrestlers world. Did something similar with the roles reversed in my 2005 with Victoria and Trish. Good stuff. Really don't expect any outcome other than MCMG over at No Surrender. MCMG vs fit and healthy Hardy Boyz would be money, no doubt! The segment between AJ and Angle makes me feel like there is more to this than meets the eye. Joe over Steiner was the right move imo, glad he's getting some wins. Liked the segment with Sting and Dinero, if you could play up the character of Dinero a bit more as a saviour, it could be a money feud for sure. Liked the way Daniels was able to beat Morgan, clever finish. Angle's out for blood! Aha! Heel vs Heel main event, eh, not sure there, but Anderson had to go over. Good show, No Surrender is looking good!
