July 3, 2002
9:00PM hits on the Eastern seaboard as the screen dims, before vibrant yellow, gold, red and black strokes fill the shot. The TNA logo pops up before we fade inside what is now known as
THE ASYLUM- where over a thousand rabid fans are on their feet, shouting
“TNA! TNA!” at the top of their lungs!
We’ve officially made it to July, so The Asylum is decked out with red, white and blue for America’s birthday tomorrow- Independence Day! The TNA Girls dance next to the entrance way, decked out in Uncle Sam-inspired outfits
and I swear to you Vince Russo is nowhere to be found in this project!!
The Asylum is packed to the rafters with the now staple attire of the majority of fans- Michael Vick and Steve McNair jerseys, Nokia brick cell phones, and of course, frosted tips peering out of your favorite Eddie Bauer visor hat!! Outside, the heat has only picked up steam, much like Nelly and his hit single, and the fact that the cooling system is about to break inside The Asylum-
so it really is getting hot in herre!!!
First, we see highlights from last week’s
HUGE Main Event! Mike Awesome lays claim to the NWA Championship, outlasting three others in a Steel Cage Match! We see Mike Awesome standing tall at the top of the steel cage, holding the NWA Championship high in the air as The Asylum goes crazy for him!
The camera pans through the crowd before swinging down to ringside where we are greeted by the dynamic duo of “Professor” Mike Tenay and his partner, decked out in a red, white and blue-themed Hawaiian shirt- Don West!
It’s the THIRD TNA show, on July the THIRD, which will feature two teams of THREE in the main event! There’s only room for two men at the commentary desk…BECAUSE THREE’S A CROWD!!!
West and Tenay hype up tonight’s HUGE show, which features X-Division Showcase matches as we inch closer towards
ULTIMATE X! The card is also
JAM PACKED with a huge SIX MAN MAIN EVENT! Newly crowned NWA Champion Mike Awesome teams up with the two men he DID NOT pin last week- Ken Shamrock and Ekmo, as they take on Jeff Jarrett and The Harris Brothers!!
Enough of the talk, we keep it right here as we start off with some
X-DIVISION ACTION!!
Match 1- X-Division Showcase
Kid Kash vs. Elix Skipper
Kid Kash was a mainstay in ECW, while Elix Skipper cut his teeth then had a solid run in WCW. Both men are making their debut here in NWA: TNA, and the winner of this match will gain the coveted
THREE POINTS towards ULTIMATE X- which is in just TWO SHORT WEEKS!!!
Kash and Skipper start this one off with a torrid pace, while neither man gains the upper hand! Kash tries to keep Skipper chasing him through the air, while the stronger Elix Skipper does his best to connect with swift kicks to the legs of Kid Kash, keeping him on the ground!
Things begin to pick up as Elix Skipper finds himself on the wrong end of a baseball slide that knocks him towards the entrance ramp. He doesn’t have long to gain his composure…
KID KASH HITS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO ELIX SKIPPER IN THE AISLE WAY!!!
Kash garners a huge pop from The Asylum, who are quickly growing accustomed to this new era of wrestling in the form of the X-Division!
Kash tosses Skipper around on the outside, and goes to throw him into the guard rail, but Skipper leaps up at the last second
AND LANDS PERFECTLY ON THE GUARD RAIL…
Surprised by the cat-like move to balance on the guard rail, Kash is thrown off guard…
SKIPPER LEAPS OFF THE GUARD RAIL AND CONNECTS WITH A HURICANRANNA!!!!
Skipper tosses Kash back inside the ring as he ascends to the top turnbuckle. Skipper sizes up Kid Kash who lies on the mat. Skipper leaps off with a 450 SPLASH…
BUT NOBODY IS HOME!!!
Kid Kash rolls out of the way at the last second, and Skipper tastes nothing but the mat! Kash can sense victory as he waits for Skipper to get up…
AND CONNECTS WITH A WICKED BRAINBUSTER!!!
Professor Tenay tells us that Kash calls that move
GOING FOR BROKE!!!!
Kash with the cover…
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 8:00- Kid Kash
Kid Kash gets his hand raised as West and Tenay hype up the X-Division, which has quickly grown into a phenomenon here in NWA: TNA!!
With the win, Kid Kash now captures
THREE POINTS towards
ULTIMATE X- Taking place for the vacant X-Division title
ON JULY 17, 2002!!! After a shot of The Asylum going crazy for the match, we see the current standings leading into Ultimate X. The
TOP SIX MEN qualify, and then will compete in a match where red cables are crossed at the top of the ring, while the X-Division title hangs in the balance…the twist-
NO LADDERS ALLOWED!!! Somehow, you need to be athletic enough to scale the cables and grab the title!!!
Current Standings:
AJ Styles- 7 points
Jerry Lynn- 3 points
Amazing Red- 3 points
Christopher Daniels- 3 points
Kid Kash- 3 points
Sticking with the X-Division, we head to the back where Goldilocks is standing by with the man who has all but clinched his spot in Ultimate X-
AJ STYLES!! Goldilocks begins to talk, but is quickly interrupted by the budding superstar…
“Let me stop you there. See, nothing more needs to be said about AJ Styles…other than I will be known as THE GREATEST WRESTLER who has ever walked this planet! I don’t need anybody’s help to do the things I’m about to do. I’m not looking from guidance from Jerry Lynn, or anybody else for that matter! I know I’m that damn good…hell…I know I’m PHENOMENAL! Take it to the bank…AJ Styles will be THE FIRST X-DIVISION CHAMPION!!
The cocky Styles heads off the set as we kick it back down to ringside where West and Tenay are waiting to hype up our next matchup- a
TAG TEAM MATCH!!
Match 2- Tag Team Match
America’s Most Wanted vs. Kaz Hayashi & Jimmy Yang
All four men have appeared in the first two shows. Harris and Storm have a team name now, which probably means they’re going to be important moving forward…
Yang and Hayashi come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, as they first put James Storm in a blender on their side of the ring! Eventually, Storm is able to make it back to his corner and tags in Harris. Not much luck for Harris, as he also gets put into a blender of kicks, chops, and double-team moves in the corner!!
Yang goes for a cartwheel kick in the corner, but Harris ducks! Harris then responds with a
HUGE LARIAT that turns Yang inside out!
Harris makes the
HOT TAG to James Storm, who fires away with rights and lefts to Yang, but Hayashi is able to make a blind tag…Storm sends Yang off the ropes, turns around and Hayashi flies off the ropes with a cross body…
BUT STORM CATCHES HIM!!!
Storm plucks Hayashi from mid-air and runs full speed ahead, carrying Hayashi with him until Storm
SLAMS HIM INTO THE CORNER!!!
Storm then fires away with loud knife-edge chops! AMW begin their own game of cutting the ring in half, and it is very effective. After a double clothesline, a dropkick from Harris into a backbreaker from Storm, Hayashi can’t do anything else but look on from his corner!!
Storm tags in Harris, who begins to climb to the top rope. Storm holds onto Yang in a seated position…
CHRIS HARRIS LEAPS FROM THE TOP…CONNECTING WITH A LEG DROP ON YANG!!!
Professor Tenay tells us this finisher’s name will be one you all remember forever…
AMW calls this THE DEATH SENTENCE!!!
A death sentence it is for Jimmy Yang, who lies motionless as Harris makes the cover…
1…2…3!!!
Winners at 6:00- America’s Most Wanted
AMW get their hands raised as The Asylum cheers loudly for them! West and Tenay put them over on commentary, and say whenever the NWA Tag Team Titles are ready to be up for grabs, AMW seems like the team to beat!!
Speaking of the NWA Tag titles,
we cut to a shot inside of NWA:TNA President Jim Cornette’s office, where the beautiful looking tag titles are placed on his desk. Cornette smiles for the camera as he begins to speak…
“As you can see I have with me the NWA tag titles…anyone who knows me knows these titles are near and dear to my heart. Which is why I am here to make a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT about the crowning of the first NWA Tag Champions under the TNA banner!”
Cornette shuffles some papers on his desk as he continues…
“In THREE WEEKS, on July 24, 2002, we will be having a match known as TAG TEAM BEDLAM to crown NWA Tag Team Champions. This is a gauntlet style match which will feature a new tag team coming out every two minutes. If one man gets pinned, his team is eliminated. The last team standing with become NWA Tag Champions!”
After the huge NWA Tag Team Championship announcement, we head back down to ringside where West and Tenay begin to hype up our next matchup- Steve Corino versus Terry Funk! They give us a recap of the past two weeks, where Corino ultimately ended up sending Terry Funk to the hospital following a brutal attack in the parking lot!!
Terry Funk is out first to a
HUGE reaction from The Asylum! They love the Ol Funker, who still has a bandage on his forehead! We have yet to see Funk actually wrestle in a TNA ring, so tonight is his official debut! Funk swings his branding iron through the air as he seems locked in, ready to kick Steve Corino’s ass!!
But not so fast…
“Hold it right there, Funker!”
Steve Corino shouts from a mic as The Asylum rain down with boos before he even gets out onto the entrance ramp! Corino heads on out alongside Jack Victory, and Corino is NOT dressed for a match! Instead, he has on jeans and a t-shirt, and is sporting a large white cast on his left wrist!
“That parking lot piledriver did as much damage to me as it did to you, old man. I can’t compete tonight. And trust me, I did everything I could to get into this match, but at the end of the day, my team of doctors said my wrist just wasn’t fully healed!”
The crowd boos Corino loudly as he continues to strut down to ringside….
“However, I had an idea! Since I can’t wrestle tonight, and you’re already out here…why don’t I introduce to you and the entire world my replacement!”
Suddenly, a massive 7-footer with tattoos and bushy hair heads out!
“Terry Funk, I give to you the newest addition to Corino Family….
MALICE!”
This huge man, built like
A WALL heads down to ringside, and immediately grabs out two tables from underneath the ring! He slides them inside the ring, shakes Corino’s hand, and climbs in!
Match 3- Grudge Match
Terry Funk vs. Steve Corino Malice
Terry Funk doesn’t care who he is fighting tonight, because he has
A LOT of pent-up anger from being taken out by Corino the last two weeks! Funk wildly swings his branding iron, chasing Malice to the outside!
Malice heads over towards Corino and Jack Victory, as Corino calls for a huddle…but while the meeting of the minds is taking place…
TERRY FUNK HITS A MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE ONTO EVERYBODY AT RINGSIDE!!!!
The Asylum can’t believe the move…West and Tenay almost lose their voices over the move…And Terry Funk immediately grabs his leg from the hard landing!!!
Malice slowly gets up to his feet, and can sense blood in the water! Funk punches at his leg to try and get it to work, but before he can do anything…
MALICE DRILLS FUNK IN THE LEG WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!
Malice then heads into the ring, setting up both tables side by side!
On the outside, Jack Victory has distracted the referee…
AND CORINO DRILLS FUNK IN THE HEAD WITH HIS CAST!!!
Corino then slides Funk back inside the ring as Malice is ready and waiting! Malice places Funk on the top turnbuckle, and then reaches his massive arm up, placing his baseball mitt sized hand around Funk’s throat…
MALICE WITH A CHOKESLAM TO TERRY FUNK THROUGH THE TABLES!!!
Corino jumps for joy on the outside as Malice covers Funk…
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 5:00- Malice
Corino hops into the ring and jumps onto Malice, who has just
DESTROYED TERRY FUNK!!!
A team of medics quickly rush the ring and tend to Terry Funk! Corino, Malice and Victory all celebrate up the entrance ramp, while West and Tenay talk about how much of a weasel Steve Corino is! Surely this isn’t the end of this feud, as Terry Funk will
EVENTUALLY get his hands on Steve Corino once and for all!
For now, Steve Corino is winning the war, and West and Tenay wonder if Corino’s wrist really needed the cast to begin with!!
We head to the back where
VAMPIRO and FATHER JAMES MITCHELL are standing by with Goldilocks! Goldy looks scared to conduct this brief interview and rightfully so, as these two are certainly bizarre. Father James does the talking as he looks into the camera with a devilish grin…
“The plan is almost complete! All of our ducks are in a row…everything is falling into place…TNA will soon be ours…and we’re just a few small steps away from revealing the true leader of this DOOMSDAY operation!”
Mitchell lets out a sadistic laugh, and goes to continue speaking in riddles…
Before he can get another word out…
D’LO BROWN EMERGES ONTO THE SET!
“Let’s get one thing straight. I KNOW I can beat you in the middle of that ring…*points to Mitchell* and I KNOW I can whoop your ass…so why don’t we make a match for next week…Vampiro…D’Lo Brown…NO DQ MATCH!”
D’Lo Brown throws down the gauntlet as FJM and Vamps look at each other and begin to smirk. Mitchell lets out a sigh before shaking his head…
“Ahhh…Mr. Brown…don’t set a trap you can’t escape from!”
D’Lo isn’t here to play games…
AND DRILLS VAMPIRO IN THE FACE WITH A RIGHT HAND!!!
Goldilocks hits the road fast as Vampiro and D’Lo brawl on the ground! FJM tries his best to get some licks in with his cane, but D’Lo eats the cane shots and continues to pummel Vampiro with rights and lefts! D’Lo then turns his attention to Mitchell…
D'LO DECKS MITCHELL WITH A RIGHT HAND!!!
Eventually, a host of TNA Officials rally to the brawl and pull D’Lo apart from Vamps and FJM…
The camera zooms in to show FJM and Vampiro, both on the ground, both sadistically laughing!
Back at ringside West and Tenay don’t quite know what to think of Vampiro and Mitchell, and still wonder what Mitchell means when he says he is bringing
DOOMSDAY to TNA!
They then shift focus to hype up our next match, a
THREE WAY DANCE X-Division Showcase Match! The winner gains three points towards Ultimate X, and this could possibly be the last chance for one of these three to make it there!
Match 4- X-Division Showcase- Three Way Dance
EZ Money vs. Super Crazy vs. Tony Mamaluke
These three have all competed in TNA over the past two weeks, and all three lost their respective matches, so something’s gotta give tonight!!
As expected, this one starts off with a flurry of offense! Money dropkicks Mamaluke over the ropes and to the floor…Crazy clotheslines Money over…
SUPER CRAZY FLIES THROUGH THE AIR WITH A FLYING DIVE ONTO EZ MONEY AND TONY MAMALUKE AT RINGSIDE!!!
Crazy stands right up and soaks in the cheers from The Asylum!
Crazy then grabs Mamaluke as the two begin to fight on the ring apron. EZ Money has recovered and now finds himself on the top turnbuckle. He looks down at his opponents, shrugs his shoulders…
EZ MONEY LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE…LATCHES ONTO BOTH MAMALUKE AND SUPER CRAZY ON THE APRON…
AND HITS A TORNADO DDT ON BOTH MEN OFF THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
The Asylum, West and Tenay, and probably everybody watching at home CANNOT BELIEVE what we’ve all just witnessed!!!
EZ Money is somehow back on his feet, and slides Mamaluke back inside the ring. Money then tosses Mamaluke off the ropes, hoists him up…
EZ MONEY DELIVERS A BEAUTIFUL TILT-A-WHIRL POWERBOMB!!!!
Professor Tenay tells us EZ Money calls that
MONEY IN THE BANK!!!! What a name to give it BT, very original…never heard of it before…
Money covers Mamaluke, Super Crazy is almost there to break it up…
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 7:00- EZ Money
EZ Money has put on quite the display tonight and his reward is
THREE POINTS towards ULTIMATE X!!
The Asylum gives all three men a loud ovation, but tonight is EZ Money’s night, and he just proved he belongs in the innovative spectacle known as Ultimate X!!
West and Tenay say that this was the last qualifying match, so our field is officially set
FOR ULTIMATE X!!!
AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels, Amazing Red, Kid Kash & EZ Money are all officially in the match!!!
It’s time for a NEW TAG TEAM vignette! For this one, we head to the mean streets of New York City! Cars buzz by, bright lights, big city…Two men decked out in Roca Wear outfits with red bandanas around their necks begin to slowly walk towards the camera…
“Out here in these streets…we run things! We are the alpha dogs! Our rule is king around here!"
The other man takes it from there…
“TNA will be no different! That NWA Tag gold will be around our waist very soon! Everybody in the Tag division, we are putting you on notice!”
The camera zooms in to show our newest team…
LOW KI and HOMICIDE!!
The two NYC natives stand with their arms crossed, mean mugging the camera as a graphic pops up on the bottom of the screen…
“MURDERAZ ROW…COMING SOON!”
Back down at ringside, West and Tenay hype up Murderaz Row as Tenay says Homicide is one of the hidden gems of the wrestling industry, and Low Ki we already know can hang with the best of them!
It’s time for our next matchup, one that has been two weeks in the making…Ron Killings looks for his revenge on Roadhouse James!!
Match 5- Grudge Match
Roadhouse James vs. Ron Killings
Killings barely waits for the bell as he instantly attacks Roadhouse James! Killings has a serious gripe with James, as James cost him his NWA Championship Qualifying match two weeks ago!
Killings with rights, lefts, kicks, elbows, and everything else as James curls up in the corner, waiting for the offensive barrage to stop. When Referee Slick Johnson finally pulls Killings off of James, the crafty veteran is waiting with an
EYE POKE!!!
The eye poke gives James some time to get back into it, as he quickly hits a body slam before putting Killings in a headlock! Killings tosses James off the ropes and is waiting with a
TWISTING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!
James slides to the outside, but Killings is hot on his trail! Killings chases James all around the ringside area before he slides back inside the ring, and hits Killings
WITH ANOTHER EYE POKE!!!
The Asylum boos James loudly as he points to his head, trying to convince us all on how smart he is! James then heads over to the corner and begins to untie the turnbuckle!!
He gets it half-way off, good enough for Referee Slick Johnson to have to tie it back on, but while Jonhson is distracted, James
PULLS OUT A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES!!!
James goes to swing at Killings, but Killings ducks and hits a split, pops right back up…
AND HITS A NECKBREAKER!!!
The brass knucks go flying, Killings is in complete control as he heads to the top turnbuckle…
KILLINGS CONNECTS WITH A 450 SPLASH!!!!
Professor Tenay tells us Killings calls this
HANG TIME…and hang time is exactly what he had on that move!!!
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 5:00- Ron Killings
Killings gets his hand raised as Roadhouse James lies motionless in the center of the ring. Killings talks some smack to him, content right now with the ass whopping he just put on the man that costed him a big match two weeks ago!!
West and Tenay hype up Killings and say this man has a big and bright future here in NWA:TNA!!
We head to the back where
NWA Champion Mike Awesome, Ekmo and Ken Shamrock are getting ready for their big SIX MAN TAG Match tonight in the main event!
All three are on separate sides of the dressing room, staring a hole through each other. Awesome keeps the NWA title on his lap as Ekmo and Shamrock continue staring…
Suddenly,
DON CALLIS barges into the dressing room, clipboard in hand…
“Perfect. You’re all here! Let me start out by saying that you all know what big fan I am of all three of you…and I’ve been watching you all closely the last two weeks…and….”
Mike Awesome gets up from his chair and stares down at Don Callis…
“If now isn’t a good time I can always come back…Yeah…I’ll come back….I’m gonna leave…”
Callis hurries out the door as Awesome lets out a smirk. Ekmo and Shamrock let their guard down for a split second and smirk as well as Shamrock speaks…
“He might be the only thing we all agree on…”
The tension continues to mount, but for now, these three will have to do their best to stick together tonight against Jeff Jarrett and The Harris Brothers!!
We head back down to ringside as West and Tenay are waiting for our next matchup- Brian Lawler with the lovely Tylene Buck against the man who has made quite the splash here in two short weeks-
MONTY BROWN!!
Match 6- Singles Match
Brian Lawler w/Tylene Buck vs. Monty Brown
Lawler senses danger right off the bat, as Monty stalks him like prey, circling around the ring. Lawler goes for a tie up but Monty tosses him down to the mat!
Lawler crawls over towards the corner but is met with a kick right to the chest! Monty Brown then lifts Lawler up…
AND TOSSES HIM HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING!!!
The Asylum
LOVES Monty Brown, he is over as shit, and looks impressive! Monty picks Lawler back up, but before he can do anything else to Lawler…
SHANE DOUGLAS COMES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND DRILLS MONTY BROWN ACROSS THE BACK WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!
The referee immediately calls for the bell!!!
No Contest at 3:00
Shane Douglas continues attacking Monty Brown with the steel chair, letting the youngster know that
POUNCING Shane Douglas for two straight weeks would eventually lead to a beatdown!
Douglas picks up Monty Brown…
PITTSBURG PLUNGE!!!!
Douglas then asks for a mic…
“Monty Brown…let this be a lesson, pal! You got me good…twice…and embarrassed me, which is something that just doesn’t happen to THE FRANCHISE!!”
Shane Douglas drops the mic and kicks Monty Brown once more for good measure as he storms off. The Asylum lets Douglas hear it as he heads up the aisle way. Lawler and Buck look on from a distance, and thank Douglas for getting involved, because Brian Lawler might not have walked out of the ring if the match continued any longer!!!
We head to the back where
Steve Corino, Jack Victory, and Corino’s newest bodyguard Malice all stand tall, celebrating a cheap win over an injured Terry Funk earlier on tonight! The celebration is short-lived when
JIM CORNETTE barges onto the scene…
“Mr. Cornette, I think I showed you tonight exactly what I mean to this company…”
Cornette cuts Corino off…
“What you mean to this company? You didn’t even step into the ring tonight! You’re a coward, Corino! And everybody here knows it! This is the THIRD WEEK in a row you’ve called your own shot, and as TNA President, I won’t sit by idly anymore! So, next week- Terry Funk won’t be competing…but YOU WILL! And Terry Funk will have the honor OF PICKING YOUR OPPONENT!”
Cornette heads off following his ruling, while Corino is
NOT happy about the decision! Next week, Terry Funk picks Steve Corino’s opponent!
We head over to Goldilocks, who is with everybody’s favorite wrestler- Jeff Jarrett- alongside his buddies The Harris Brothers! Jarrett, sunglasses on, guitar in hand, is not in a good mood tonight!
“Last week, everybody saw that I had that match won! And it PISSES ME OFF that Jim Cornette just let Kronic come down and interfere, costing me MY title!”
Jarrett shakes his head as he continues….
“Tonight, I plan on blasting Mike Awesome over the head with a guitar so hard that he won’t see straight for a month! And then, very shortly, I will lay claim to the title that SHOULD BE around my waist right now!”
Jeff Jarrett and The Harris Brothers head off the set as we pan back inside The Asylum…
AND WE ARE READY FOR OUR HUGE MAIN EVENT!!
Main Event- Six Man Tag Match
NWA Champion Mike Awesome, Ekmo & Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett & The Harris Brothers
The bell rings and the chaos ensues as all six men begin to throw wild haymakers at each other!
Ekmo
DRILLS Ron Harris with a lariat! Ken Shamrock tackles Ron Harris to the mat, but Ron fights back, and Jarrett is quickly there to stomp on Shamrock!
Both Ron and Don are back on their feet, and they come running at Mike Awesome…
AWESOME WITH A DIVING SHOULDER BLOCK THROUGH BOTH HARRIS BROTHERS!!!
They both hit the deck, and Ekmo is waiting for them…
EKMO WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE TO THE HARRIS BROTHERS OVER THE TOP AND TO THE FLOOR!!!
Shamrock has flipped the offense on Jarrett, and soon, Jarrett realizes his two buddies are licking their wounds on the outside! The Asylum begins to cheer as all three of Awesome, Ekmo and Shamrock begin to circle Jarrett!
Jarrett smartly picks the side of the ring that nobody is at, and slides underneath to the outside! Awesome, Shamrock and Ekmo aren’t just gonna stand for that! They exit the ring and look to pounce on Jarrett…
RON AND DON BOTH HAVE CHAIRS AND SMASH THE BACKS OF EKMO AND SHAMROCK!!!
Mike Awesome is still hot on the trail for Jarrett! Ron Harris runs at Awesome…
AWESOME WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF RON HARRIS!!!
Don Harris swings his chair at Awesome but he ducks, and then lifts the big man up…
CHOKESLAM TO DON HARRIS ON TOP OF RON HARRIS!!!
Awesome spent too much time on Ron and Don…
JEFF JARRETT BLASTS AWESOME OVER THE HEAD WITH A GUITAR!!!
Awesome crumbles to the floor as Jarrett picks up one of the chairs lying on a Harris Brother…
Ekmo goes for a
SAVATE KICK but Jarrett ducks…goes to hit Ekmo with the chair…
BUT KEN SHAMROCK WRAPS AROUND THE BACK OF JARRETT…
SHAMROCK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON JARRETT ON THE HARD CONCRETE FLOOR!!!
The Asylum loves the chaos as Shamrock and Ekmo pick up Ron and Don and slide them back inside the ring!
Ekmo and Shamrock team up for a brief moment, putting the boots to Ron and Don! Jarrett tries to slither around on the outside, but Mike Awesome has recovered! Awesome is able to get his hands on Jarrett…
AWESOME TOSSES JARRETT THROAT-FIRST ONTO THE STEEL GUARD RAIL!!!
The reigning NWA Champion isn’t done on the outside as he tells West and Tenay to “get the fuck out of my way!”
Awesome then picks up Jarrett, looking to
AWESOME BOMB HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE…
BUT ROADHOUSE JAMES EMERGES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND CHOP BLOCKS MIKE AWESOME!!!
James then tosses in a pair of brass knuckles to Ron Harris, who is conveniently lying on the mat right next to James.
Shamrock notices the brass knucks and immediately jolts over to Ron, and wrestles away the brass knuckles from him!
On the other side of the ring, Ekmo takes care of Don Harris and drops him over the ropes and to the floor!!
Shamrock grabs Ron and holds his arms behind his back while he tosses the knucks to Ekmo. Ekmo winds back, but at the last second…
JAMES DISTRACTS SHAMROCK LONG ENOUGH FOR RON TO DUCK…
EKMO BLASTS SHAMROCK IN THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!!
Ekmo turns around…
JEFF JARRETT IS WAITING WITH A GUITAR SHOT!!!!
Jarrett hooks the leg….
1….2….NOOO!!!
Mike Awesome breaks the pinfall up…Jarrett gets back to his feet…
BIG BOOT FROM MIKE AWESOME!!!
The Harris Brothers are waiting for Mike Awesome…
BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!
BRIAN ADAMS AND BRYAN CLARKE ARE BACK AGAIN!!!
The dynamic duo rush to the ring and begin to brawl with The Harris Brothers!!!
Clarke and Adams clothesline Ron and Don over the ropes and to the floor!!!
They then follow suit and
BEGIN TO BRAWL WITH THE HARRIS BROTHERS THROUGH THE CROWD!!!
Talk about neutralizing Jeff Jarrett’s team!
Awesome is the only one left standing, and has Jarrett in control, while calling for the end! Awesome hoists Jarrett up…
Shamrock has SNAPPED in the corner and is SEEING RED!!
Ekmo is slow to get to his feet and when he does…
KEN SHAMROCK CLOTHESLINES EKMO…
RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF MIKE AWESOME!!!!
THIS MATCH HAS GONE OFF THE RAILS!!!
Awesome falls to the mat, and is now pissed off at his own teammates!!!
Awesome turns around while Shamrock and Ekmo trade blows, and runs full speed ahead at his partners…
AWESOME TACKLES EKMO THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND BOTH MEN LAND HEAD FIRST ON THE FLOOR!!!
Roadhouse James is STILL out here, and picks up the pair of brass knuckles from before and tosses them to Jarrett…
JARRETT DRILLS SHAMROCK IN THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!!
Poor Ken Shamrock is just getting his ass kicked here in this match…from all sides!!!
Jarrett lifts the motionless Shamrock up…
JEFF JARRETT CONNECTS WITH THE STROKE ON KEN SHAMROCK!!!
Awesome and Ekmo have given up on this match, as the two brawl around ringside!… Roadhouse James stand guard…
1…2…3!!!
Winners at 17:00- Jeff Jarrett & The Harris Brothers
Jarrett, all alone, has somehow done it! He immediately calls for a mic…
“I told you all, I told you that I AM THE GREATEST! I just beat three monsters BY MYSELF!! Now, Jim Cornette, get your ass out here and GIVE ME MY TITLE MATCH!!!”
Music begins to play, but we soon find out it is not Jim Cornette…
IT’S SCOTT HALL!!!!!!
The Asylum, West and Tenay go crazy for Scott Hall!!! The Outsider is here in TNA!!!!
Hall climbs inside the ring as Jarrett stands there, perplexed at seeing Scott Hall!
Scott Hall stares down Jarrett…
BEFORE PUTTING OUT HIS HAND?!?!?!?!?
Jarrett begins to smirk as
HE GLADLY ACCEPTS SCOTT HALL’S HANDSHAKE!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?
Hall hugs Jarrett tight as The Asylum doesn’t know what to think…
NOT SO FAST JEFF JARRETT!!!
SCOTT HALL DRILLS JEFF JARRETT WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!
THAT’S MORE LIKE IT, SCOTT!!!
Hall then lifts up Jarrett…
SCOTT HALL WITH THE OUTSIDER’S EDGE!!!!!
The Asylum is on their feet as Hall gives us his signature arms-stretched out pose!!
The credits begin to roll as West and Tenay sign us off, and the last image we see of this week's episode
which has heavily featured the dreaded brass knucks is of Scott Hall standing tall in the middle of the ring!!!!!
BT Note: Thanks for dropping by Stoj, glad you are enjoying it. I hope everyone else is enjoying these, too. I really don’t expect much interaction with this being a weekly project, so I hope I give you all something to glance at in your free time every Thursday. The TNA train chugs along next week- same time, same place!
