Awesome a brand new TNA BTB, I love TNA BTB's if you haven't noticed. It looks great, huge roster, alot of possibilities, although you have 2 BFG's?

 

[The Ripper]

I think you could really suceed with this and hopefully you make Lockdown better than it was.

Check out World Wrestling Entertainment. Smackdown posted

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I am sure you made I mistake and put two BFG. It could be good, and if I keep my track correctly, yo used to have another TNA BTB(as TNAisWrestling), so I expect this to be good, I will be reviewing.

Check out BTW, Krakatoa PPV has been posted

So go ahead, make your choice"

Robert Roode: "Jim! All I want is a chance to prove myself! We all know I belong in the main event, but if you are so reluctant to put me there, then at least let me prove to you how deserving I really am!"

You see, when that bell rings, something transforms inside of me, I turn into a machine....a Wrestling Machine! The only thing that is on my mind is making my opponent tap out, or get pinned, especially when this World Title is on the line. I have been the TNA World Champion for over 6 monthes because of what I have done inside that 6 sided ring.

Kurt Angle: "Joe, congratulations. You have earned the right to face me for my World Title at Lockdown. It will be me and you one on one inside the six sides of steel, there will be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and their will be a winner."

The last time I wrestled you, you screwed me out of the match by planning something with Karen Angle...I havn't come close to the World Title picture since. But now, I am getting my chance once again, and this time, their wont be any outside interference, their wont be divorces, tricks, plans, to make it short Kurt...their wont be any bullshit! Its going to be me vs you inside the six sides of steel! There is nothing that can stop me now from kicking your ass and finally becoming the Heavyweight Champion of the World!"

Kurt Angle: "Kicking MY ass! Joe you've got it all wrong"

Samoa Joe: "No Kurt, you've got it all wrong! TNA needs a new champion, a champion that cares about these loyal fans, a champion that respects this business, a champion that is unique and something mainstream fans have never seen before...but most of all, TNA needs a champion that didnt sign his or her name on the dotted line just to get a paycheck every month! Kurt, your run at the top is over, now its time for a new era in TNA...the era of The Samoan Submission Machine...Samoa Joe!"

Kurt Angle: "My run at the top has just begun Joe!"

Kurt is about to hit Joe with a big right hand, but he stops himself

Samoa Joe: "What? You want to hit me? Go ahead, hit me! Hit me Kurt, we all know you are going to do it sooner or later!"

Kurt Angle: "Joe, as I said before...congratulations on winning your match tonight. You better train your ass off, because at Lockdown, I want to wrestle the best Samoa Joe that I can, I want to wrestle the hungry animal that you are Joe. One thing is for sure though, I WILL bring my A game and I WILL leave Lowell still the TNA World Champion!"

Kurt Angle drops his mic and leaves the ring. He backs up the ramp

Samoa Joe: "You want the hungry animal Kurt? Well you've got him! I just want you to remember one thing, you may be a wrestling machine, but I am a SAMOAN Submission Machine, and at Lockdown...Joe is gonna kill you....Joe is gonna kill you...JOE IS GONNA KILL YOU!!"

Mike Tenay: "Ladies and gentlemen, thats it for iMPACT! what a show we had for you tonight"

Don West: "No doubt about that Mike, I cant wait for Lockdown now!"

Mike Tenay: "Its official, the rivalry is back on! The biggest rivalry in all of Professional Wrestling, Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe!

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

-Scott Steiner/Williams vs Lethal/Dutt: Basic match putting the Steiner/Williams combination over, altough I don't enjoy having Lethal on the jobbing side

-Young/Kaz/Rock and Rave: Pretty average and not really a highlight, came off as a filler

-ODB vs Awesome Kong: A glorified squash, but with a wrestler like Kong, it works. It was good that ODB got offense in as well.

-Roode promo backstage with Cornette: Good, it fitted his character to come off looking for a challenge and then when it comes out Abyss, an opponent so impressing, him to try and chicken out.

-AJ Styles attack: To continue the feud, it works perfectly. This could be your way to set up the Lethal Lockdown.

-Samoa Joe vs Sting: Amazing match really great job. I liked that the match was mat wrestled favoring the submission style of Samoa Joe. Sting tapping out was shocking but made Joe a more credible contender. Good job. The promo after it was amazing, but to me Kurt could have come out a little more heelish.

TNA iMPACT! Preview:

This Thursday Night at 9/8c, TNA iMPACT! returns with a huge broadcast as we continue the road to Lockdown. Here is what you can expect on Thursday's broadcast:

James Storm to call out Abyss! This Thursday Night on iMPACT! "Cowboy" James Storm wants the microphone and rumors say that he wants to call out Abyss! TNAWrestling.com has contacted Storm to ask him what his motives are:

James Storm: I am sick of that drama queen known as Abyss! And yes, I called him a drama queen! This Thursday on iMPACT! I am going to settle this once and for all!

What does James Storm want to settle? What problems does he have with Abyss, find out this Thursday.

Also, after a vicious attack on Christian Cage by AJ Styles and Tomko, Christian Cage is said to be furious! Will he get the retribution he deserves? TNAWrestling.com tried to talk to Christian about this, here is what he said:

Christian Cage: AJ Styles and Tomko are the two biggest idiots here in TNA! You guys wanted to piss me off? Huh, you wanted to wake up the sleeping giant inside of The Instant Classic? Well, congratulations, you've done it! This Thursday on iMPACT! I WILL get my revenge, whether you two but buddies like it or not!

Also on Thursday's broadcast, The Motor City Machine Guns are on the hunt for the Tag Team Titles! This Thursday it will be The Guns taking on The Rock and Rave Infection! Here is what the Guns had to say:

Alex Shelley: We saw what Hoyt and Rave did to Kaz and Eric Young last week, and we didnt like it! So this Thursday, Rock n' Rave Infection better get ready for the beating of a life time!

All this and much more, including Samoa Joe starting his training for Lockdown, a sit down interview with Kurt Angle, and much more!

--------------------------


For those wondering, the main event will be anounced during the show, as well as more matches for Lockdown! Hope you guys enjoy it

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

Preview looks good, MCMG vs Rock and Rave should be pretty good.

BM - Joe vs Sting. Good match, It was nice to see Joe win against Sting.

WM - Women's match, I'm not really a fan of ODB, and it was written OK. You used lots of "!'s" in the match

BP - End with Joe and Angle. Angle wasn't in his TNA obnoxious jerk type of character, he came off like something someone would say in real life, but overall it got the match at Lockdown over. The Kaz/EY and Rock N Rave angle was short but well done too.

wP - Robert Roode and Jim Cornette. Roode came off as a face in my opinion, other than demanding a World Title Shot, but it was still solid.

AC - Good first show. I'm liking all the storylines going right now, especially Joe and Angle, like in the real TNA. The only thing that could help you for easier reading is space out your longer matches into paragraphs, it makes the matches look longer and divides the match into things like start middle and end. I'll check out your next show if I have the time.

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

I await Impact eagerly. Can't wait to see how Christian Cage responds.

Jeremy Borash: "Christian, last week AJ and Tomko took you out of the 3 way and cost you the number 1 contenders spot for the World Title, your thoughts?"

Christian Cage: "My thoughts? What the hell do you think my thoughts are!? I'm pissed off! Is that what you want to know Borash? Look, tonight I want AJ Styles...and I want Tomko, in a 2 on 1 handicap match! I'm going to take care of both of them myself, and make them wish they never messed with me last week."

Mike Tenay: "Tonight on iMPACT! Will Christian Cage get his revenge on AJ Styles and Tomko? Also, I will have my very own sit down interview with the olympic gold medalist, and the current TNA Heavyweight Champion of the World, Kurt Angle!"

Don West: "Also tonight, The Rock and Rave Infection take on The Motor City Machine Guns!"

Jim Cornette's theme hits, Cornette comes down the ramp and into the ring, he has a mic in hand

Mike Tenay: "Here comes Jim Cornette, what does he have to say here tonight?"

Jim Cornette: "You know, with all the whining and complaining and all the crap that I have to deal with here in TNA, their is something that I almost forgot about...the X-Division! Now I'll tell you why I love the X-Division, first of all, they dont come out here and whine and complain about getting a title shot, they just come out here and put on amazing matches here inside this six sided ring!"

The crowd pops

Jim Cornette: "Anyway, the reason I'm out here is because at Lockdown their is a match involving the X-Division that occurs every single year. It is a match that is match of the year quality ever year, and it is a match that is the most exiting match on the card every year...it is...the X-Division Xscape match!

The Crowd pops

Jim Cornette: "And you all know the way I do business here in TNA. You have to earn your way to a title shot, and tonight, we are going to start the first qualifying match to determine the first of the 4 challengers who will battle in the Xscape match! It will be...Johnny Devine taking on...Curry Man!"

The crowd pops

Jim Cornette: "Well, now that I got that over with, I just want to say enjoy the show, and I'll-"

Christian Cage's theme hits

Mike Tenay: "Here comes an infuriated Christian Cage!"

Don West: "Your right about that Mike, but how can you blame him for being so mad, he could have had the chance to main event Lockdown and wrestle for the World Title against Kurt Angle, but AJ Styles and Tomko took that opportunity away from him"

Christian Cage steps into the ring, he grabs a mic

Christian Cage: "Jim! I love the X-Division too, hell, the X-Division put this company on the map..but there is something a little bit more important that you need to adress! You see, last week, AJ Styles and Tomko took it upon themselves to attack me before the 3 way number 1 contenders match, causing me to not be able to participate and not even get a chance to wrestle Kurt at Lockdown. So Jimbo, I'm out here because I want you to make it official! Me vs AJ Styles and Tomko in a 2 on 1 handicap match...tonight!"

Jim Cornette: "Christian I woul-"

AJ Styles' theme hits, AJ and Tomko come down the ramp with mics in hand

Tomko: "Hold that thought Jim. Christian! You need to understand our motives for attacking you. You have to understand why we feel the way that we do! When me and AJ were a part of Christian's coalition, there was something missing. And that was actual team unity! Christian's coalition was all about YOU! you made me and AJ look like two pieces of garbage, and that pisses me off. You even told us that we shouldnt think! What the hell is that!?"

Christian Cage: "You know what Tomko...AJ, I deserved to treat you two like pieces of crap! AJ Styles, I saw that your career was going down hill so I let you join the coalition because I wanted to bring AJ Styles back to the top, where he should be! Think about it AJ, when is the last time you held a world title?"

AJ Styles: "Well I-"

Christian Cage: "My point exactly! And Tomko, I saw your work in Japan, I saw how much potential you had. So I took you under my wing, I made you a star! Look at you now, TNA is selling Tomko shirts left and right, people are talking about how you could be the next big thing in TNA, and its all because of me! I am the reason you and AJ are the tag champions, and this is how you thank me? Tonight, me vs you two in a 2 on 1 match, Jimbo, make it official so we can go on with this show already"

Jim Cornette: "Hold it Christian. Their is something you dont understand, Christian, I know you know this, but I'm gonna say this anyway. You are one of the top stars here in TNA, and you are a big part of TNA's profit. If you wrestle in a 2 on 1 match against AJ and Tomko, you might get injured which will cause you to not be able to appear on television and PPVs, which will equal to less ratings and buy rates, which will equal to me getting in trouble with the higher ups here in TNA, and thats the last thing I need right now. So this is what I want you to do, I want you to go to the back, find yourself a partner, and then and only then will I make the match official"

Christian Cage: "Fine! But I still want a little piece of AJ and Tomko...and I want it right now"

Christian Cage drops his mic and immediately attacks AJ Styles and Tomko, Jim Cornette leaves the ring, Christian jumps on AJ and hits him with a series of rights and lefts. Tomko gets back to his feet though, and he hits Christian from behind with a huge clothesline!

Mike Tenay: "The numbers game is catching up to Christian!"

Don West: "Thats right, I almost forgot it was 2 on 1 with the way Christian was attacking them!"

Rhino's theme hits, and Rhino runs down the ramp, AJ and Tomko leave the ring and back up the ramp, Rhino helps Christian back to his feet and they stare down AJ and Tomko from the ring

Mike Tenay: "Rhino!? Rhino just helped out Christian Cage? Does this mean he is going to be his partner for tonight's main event?"

Don West: "I think he is Mike! It looks like they put their differences aside and become friends again, what a main event this is going to be"

Mike Tenay: "Lets send it to the back where JB is standing by with Samoa Joe!"

Backstage:

Jeremy Borash: "Joe, last week you defeated Sting and you now have a title shot at Lockdown against Kurt Angle. You've faced Angle 4 times before, you've beat him once, what do you think you're going to have to do to beat him a second time"

Samoa Joe: "Kurt himself admitted that he can barely keep up with me when we wrestled, so I am going to use that to my advantage. I am also going to use my power advantage, and my speed. You see, this match at Lockdown, its different from the other 4. This is going to be the biggest and the best of them all, not only is it in the six sides of steel, but as I said last week, their wont be any outside interference...and will just be me and Kurt and nothing else. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee a victory, but I can guarantee this, two men will enter the cage at Lockdown, and only one man is going to come out TNA World Heavyweight Champion and if I do the right things against Angle...that one man...well, its going to be me"

Kurt Angle: "Everything, all the hard work that I put into this business, all the sacrifices I had to make, it was all for this title belt. People dont understand I mean, this World Title, its the most important title in all of pro wrestling. You can ask any wrestler whether he is here in TNA or in any other company in the world, what title they want to hold, and they dont say...the WWE Title, or any other title that claims to be 'the top prize', they say the TNA World Title. This championship, its a serious thing here in TNA, we dont make it spin we dont make it look like a toy, we care about this, this World Championship is my life, I put my heart and soul into it and there is no way I am giving it up."

[KroniK 4-2-0]

I used to have A TNA BTB that was decent to good I thought, but I stopped. I'm liking yours a lot, here's my review.....

Best Match - Main event, Rhino/Christian vs. AJ & Tomko. Great match, written very well. Great job, man.

Worst Match - N/A, honestly, I think there should be more matches, but the three were all good.

Best Promo - James Storm. Every Promo was without a doubt great. Christian, Angle, Storm, all of 'em. But I think Storm was best.

Worst Promo - N/A again. As I said, all were good.

Additional Comments - I loved the show, and the ending was unexpected, but great. Rhino is best as a heel. I thought it was great, but, I think you should have more matches and use more of your stars. Like no Sting, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Team 3D, Roode.

BM : main event, but also Motor city machine guns / rock and rave infection, it was very well written. but there was more star power n the main event, and Rhyno spearing Christian at the end is a shocking move.

WM : Curry Man vs Devine. Simply because thee was nothing special in it. the other matches had something but not this one IMO.

BM : You're goot at writing promos, there are man. I' say, Cage all night long, really in character...but I could say the Abyss/ Storm thing, i don't know why but i was very effective, I really liked it Angle was good too.

AC: Very nice Tna BTB, your promos and mtches are great, let's see where do you go with the storylines. Congrats.

BM: Cage and Rhino vs. Styles and Tomko, followed closely by MCMG

WM: N/A, it's TNA they have real wrestlers.

BP: Opener was pretty good

WP: N/A

AC: Really digging the new show here, I love TNA BTB's especially this one. I have a feeling you are getting the titles off Styles and Tomko when MCMG get the shot next week, we'll see

BM - The main event was really the best read on the show, Rhino and Cage teaming was pretty good, and I was pretty surprised that they won.

WM - None really, all matches were pretty good.

BP - The opener was a solid hype to the main event. Abyss and Storm was really something the real TNA would do, which was great.

WP - Great promo writing

AC - Another good show, you're one of the better new BTB'ers on here. Your promos are very good, and the match writing is solid. We don't have many TNA BTB's here, so you're doing pretty good with it.
