The Asylum cheers for Cornette as he smiles and waves before heading down to ringside. He picks up the NWA title before being handed a mic. Cornette enters the ring and begins to speak…

TAG TEAM ACTION!!
Match 2- Tag Team Match
Christian York & Joey Matthews vs. Chris Harris & James Storm
York and Matthews have been around the block, as they were a staple of ECW at the end. Harris and Storm have actually never teamed up before until right now, with both men working as singles wrestlers for Bert Prentice around the Southern states!
York and Matthews begin to the match taking it to the young team of Harris and Storm! De facto veterans for the match, York and Matthews cut the ring in half on James Storm, connecting with double team moves such as a dropkick/neckbreaker combo and big splashes in the corner!!
Chris Harris stomps on the apron as he wills his partner to make the hot tag, as The Asylum gets behind him! Storm muscles out of a suplex attempt and hits a German Suplex on Matthews, before crawling over to
MAKE THE HOT TAG!!
Chris Harris is in and cleans house! Clotheslines, dropkicks, and a flying cross body do the damage for Harris! He calls over to Storm as the two size Matthews up in the center of the ring…
AND HIT HIM WITH STEREO SUPERKICKS!
Matthews is right back up as Harris tosses him off the ropes, hits a drop toe hold…and Storm crashes down with a leg drop!!
Professor Tenay hypes up the teamwork from Harris and Storm! For two guys that have never teamed together, they look like naturals right now!!
Storm hits a forearm smash on York which knocks him off the apron and to the floor! Storm and Harris then begin to shout to each other as Storm points for Harris to go to the top rope!

West and Tenay hype up Harris and Storm, and say these two guys have an extremely bright future as a tag team here in TNA!!
We kick it over to our Backstage Reporter- Goldilocks!
Goldy is standing by with
The Hardcore Legend- Terry Funk! Goldy asks Funk his thoughts on his NWA Title Tournament Match- NEXT against Ken Shamrock!
“Well, Goldy, I like to consider myself still fit enough to make a splash. I’m still hitting the gym, getting my cardio in. At one time long, long ago, the same NWA Championship I’m about to compete for, it never left my side. So, I know what it takes to be the king. This time around is no different than the Seventies. TNA is gonna be something special, and I plan on being a big part of it…”
WHACK!!!!
WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?
STEVE CORINO BLINDSIDES TERRY FUNK WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!
Corino stomps on Funk before taking the mic, beginning to walk through the backstage area, through gorilla,
AND OUT ONTO THE ENTRANCE RAMP!!
“You know, when I heard about the matches announced for the NWA Title Tournament, and I didn’t see my name, I thought- alright, not a big deal, there are some big names in it….BUT TERRY FUNK?!?? COME ON!”
Corino continues to walk down to the ring as The Asylum let their hatred for Corino rain down…
“What is this? 1979? This is supposed to be a NEW ERA OF WRESTLING here in TNA! So, why are we living in the past? Why even give that old bastard a spot on the TNA roster?”
Corino climbs into the ring…
“That all changes right NOW! Since Terry Funk is no longer able to compete…I…STEVE CORINO…WILL BE TAKING HIS SPOT! Come on out here Ken Shamrock and take your ass whooping like a MAN!”
Ken Shamrock emerges from the back, walking with a purpose down to the ring! The Asylum cheers Shamrock, knowing full well The Most Dangerous Man in America has come to lay claim to the NWA title!
Match 3- NWA Championship Tournament Match
Ken Shamrock vs. Steve Corino
Shamrock wastes zero time getting this one going as he immediately shoots at Corino’s legs just as the bell rings! Shamrock with a ground and pound attack on Corino, to the point where Corino has no choice but to retreat to the outside!
Shamrock lets out an animalistic roar as The Asylum is on their feet for him! Corino signals for a
“TIMEOUT” at ringside, but Shamrock isn’t having any of it as he heads to the outside and slams Corino with a forearm smash to the back! Shamrock whips Corino into the steel guard rail for good measure!
The match progresses back inside the ring, where Corino calls in a favor in the form of
JACK VICTORY who sprints down the entrance ramp with his crutch in hand! Corino’s old pal from ECW is here and while Corino distracts the referee…
JACK VICTORY CLUBS KEN SHAMROCK OVER THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH HIS CRUTCH!
Corino looks down at the fallen Ken Shamrock as he licks his chops…calling his spot…preparing to connect with his finishing move-
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB!
BUT WAIT!!!
The Asylum is on their feet, and Corino is smart enough to know it is certainly not for him…
TERRY FUNK IS OUT, WIELDING HIS BRANDING IRON RECKLESSLY THROUGH THE AIR!!!
Funk whacks Jack Victory with the branding iron in the entrance way!
Corino shifts his attention to Terry Funk who climbs up on the apron and takes a wild swing but misses…
BUT THE DISTRACTION IS ENOUGH FOR KEN SHAMROCK TO GRAB CORINO…
SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!!
Shamrock seamlessly transitions over to Corino’s legs…
WHERE HE APPLIES THE ANKLE LOCK!!!!
Corino writhes in pain…AND HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO SUBMIT!!!
Winner at 7:00- Ken Shamrock
Ken Shamrock has punched his ticket to next week’s
NWA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH- INSIDE A STEEL CAGE!!!
Shamrock heads up the aisle way as Terry Funk quickly enters the ring, still swinging his branding iron!! Jack Victory has recovered from before and shields Corino as he pulls him out of the ring to safety!
Funk immediately leaves the ring and follows Corino and Victory up the entrance ramp, while Corino and Victory book it through the curtain! Funk stops his chase and stands tall at the top of the ramp, holding his branding iron high above his head, much to the delight of The Asylum who give him a thunderous ovation!!
West and Tenay hype up Ken Shamrock advancing to the NWA Championship next week, while saying that Steve Corino may have made the worst enemy of his career in Terry Funk!!
We cut to a vignette. It is a cloudy day, ominous clouds off in the distance. We are in some sort of deserted town, where the streets are desolate…wind sways the big oak trees back and forth. We zoom in to see a peculiar man, dressed in an all-red suit, sitting on a park bench. He is the only person in the shot…
The camera zooms in to show it is none other than
FATHER JAMES MITCHELL! Mitchell sits on the park bench, looking off into the distance. He holds his snake-head cane with both hands as he lets out a big sigh and mischievous grin…
“Another new wrestling company. Same old faces. Nobody learns their lesson…”
Mitchell shakes his head in disgust as he continues…
“For centuries, the saying goes- to the victor goes the spoils…Well, I plan on winning…and TAKING EVERYTHING WITH ME! You see, the power lies in the man who controls the strings…not the man on the strings…and trust me…TNA…I will be the ultimate puppet master!”
Mitchell lets out a loud maniacal laugh as thunder claps off in the distance, while lightning illuminates the sky…
“TNA…THE ARRIVAL OF DOOMSDAY IS IMMINENT! AHAHAHA!”
Another clap of loud thunder brings us to complete static before we cut back to inside The Asylum…
West and Tenay talk about Father James Mitchell and his cryptic message about
bringing DOOMSDAY to TNA! They then shift focus as they hype up the X-Division some more, as we get ready for our next X-Division Showcase!!
Match 4- X-Division Showcase
Jerry Lynn vs. EZ Money
Jerry Lynn is a veteran who is looking to stand out in TNA, while EZ Money is young, upstart wrestler who has tons of talent and a very innovative offense. Money wrestled for ECW and WCW at the end.
Lynn and Money start off with a very quick pace, with EZ Money looking to see if Lynn can still match him stride-for-stride…and Jerry Lynn most definitely can! Money tosses Lynn off the ropes and goes for a flying back elbow but Lynn catches him…
AND DUMPS HIM OUTSIDE TO THE FLOOR!!
Lynn heads to the top turnbuckle where he sizes up Money on the outside…
JERRY LYNN FLIES THROUGH THE AIR WITH A DIVING CROSS BODY!!!
The Asylum is behind Jerry Lynn as he continues his offense on EZ Money. Lynn slides Money inside the ring before connecting with a slingshot legdrop for a 2 count!
The match progresses as Money gains his comeuppance, connecting with a
TORNADO DDT!! Lynn kicks out, Money stays on the attack as he places Lynn on the top turnbuckle and follows suit. Money goes for a
SUPERPLEX but Lynn blocks it, lifts Money up…
LYNN HITS AN INVERTED BRAINBUSTER OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!
The Asylum LOVES the move as does West and Tenay! Lynn has EZ Money right where he wants him…
CRADLE PILEDRIVER!!!
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 8:00- Jerry Lynn
Lynn gets his hand raised as he soaks in the cheers from The Asylum! West and Tenay put over Jerry Lynn before hyping up the X-Division some more, because in case you didn’t know already-
THE X DIVISION IS THE CRAZIEST WRESTLING YOU WILL EVER SEE!!
West and Tenay shift focus as they talk about the next matchup on this inaugural TNA PPV- another NWA Championship Tournament Match, featuring
EKMO and SABU!
Before our commentary team can get another word out, they are interrupted…
BY DON CALLIS!!!
Callis heads out with a mic in hand, clipboard in the other, and not only does The Asylum immediately recognize him, they immediately begin to boo him!
“Alright, alright. Calm down. I know it’s a lot for a crowd of your intellect to understand the words coming out of my mouth, but much like all of you who sit home all day collecting a check from the state…I, too, need a job. Which is why I am out here right now…”
Callis heads down the entrance ramp as The Asylum continues to boo him…
“Which is why I will be watching this next match, as I have my eye on a few key guys in this NWA Championship Tournament!”
Callis puts down the mic, pulls up a chair near West and Tenay, and begins writing notes down on his clipboard…
Match 5- NWA Championship Tournament Match
Sabu vs. Ekmo
Ekmo comes from the prestigious Samoan Wrestling Family, while Sabu needs no backstory. He is the enigma in the world of wrestling, he stands out like nobody else before him, and is a certified living legend…
Sabu heads out first, with his trusty steel chair in tow. Ekmo is out next, and just as the big Samoan enters the ring…
SABU LEAPS FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, DROPKICKING THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO EKMO’S FACE!!!
The Asylum is on their feet as Sabu strikes first, before the bell even rings! Sabu continues his offense as he hits a springboard leg drop on the fallen Ekmo! Sabu heads to the outside where he sets up a table! Sabu rolls back in and stomps on Ekmo some more until Ekmo is able to get to his feet…
WHEN SABU THROWS THE CHAIR FULL SPEED, HITTING EKMO IN THE HEAD!!
Ekmo rolls out of the ring, but Sabu isn’t ready to slow things down! Sabu sets up his chair, gets a running head start…
TRIPLE JUMP MOONSAULT…WAIT!!!
Ekmo plucks Sabu in MID-AIR…
AND SLAMS HIM THROUGH THE TABLE AT RINGSIDE!!!
Ekmo is right back to his feet as he tosses Sabu into the steel ring post! Ekmo sizes up Sabu and drills him with a
SAVATE KICK!!!
Ekmo rolls Sabu inside the ring as he follows behind. The seated chair is still in the center of the ring. Ekmo sends Sabu off the ropes, tosses him onto the back of his massive shoulders…
SAMOAN DROP ONTO THE OPEN CHAIR!!!
Ekmo has Sabu right where he wants him as Sabu writes in pain! Ekmo tosses Sabu over to the corner then places the badly bent steel chair in front of Sabu’s face! Ekmo then heads over to the opposite corner and runs full speed ahead…
AND CHARGES INTO SABU AND THE CHAIR IN THE CORNER!!!
Ekmo drags Sabu by the hair and sets him in the middle of the ring before placing the steel chair on top of him. Ekmo then leaps from the bottom turnbuckle to the top turnbuckle, and in one fell swoop…
CONNECTS WITH A MOONSAULT ONTO SABU AND THE CHAIR!!!
Ekmo is in pain but makes the cover!!!
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 7:00 Ekmo
The Asylum is on their feet for Ekmo, who is
EXTREMELY OVER with them! West and Tenay hype up the physical specimen of Ekmo, as a man his height and weight shouldn’t be able to land a Moonsault so gracefully!
The camera pans over to Don Callis, who continues to write on his clipboard. He is very impressed, and as Ekmo is walking up the entrance ramp, he stops Ekmo. He shakes his hand, introducing himself. Ekmo refuses to let go of Callis’ hand after the shake, and tells Callis to
“FUCK OFF!” before faking a punch!
Callis flinches before gathering himself, as he quickly heads in the opposite direction of Ekmo! Ekmo looks out at The Asylum as they give him another round of applause!
West and Tenay continue to hype up
Ekmo, as he ADVANCES to the NWA Championship NEXT WEEK! Thus far, Ken Shamrock and Ekmo have advanced, with two matches left tonight for the final two spots!
After West and Tenay begin talking about how much more we have in store tonight…We cut right back inside the ring there is commotion, only for the camera to pan to
SHANE DOUGLAS sitting ON A STEEL CHAIR in the middle of the ring! “The Franchise” has a mic in hand as The Asylum begins to boo…
“You know, I was probably one of the first guys called to join TNA! I thought, why not? It couldn’t be any worse than the last place we were all at! Well, paint me shocked when I looked at the card tonight, and didn’t see Shane Douglas anywhere on it!”
Douglas shakes his head in disgust as he continues…
“The disrespect I have been given for so many years eventually takes its toll…So, I figured, why shouldn’t come out here and speak my mind? I’m known around these parts with this particular title do such things…Air my grievances early, so MAYBE someone in the back would hear me, and give me what I deserve…AND THAT IS SOME DAMN RESPECT FOR THE FRANCHISE SHANE DOUGLAS!”
Before Shane Douglas can continue his rant…
MONTY BROWN emerges from the back!!! We know this because Professor Tenay is all over it! Monty Brown is an ex-NFL player who has decided to make TNA his home…and what a debut he is about to have!!
“Can I help you?”
Douglas shouts out…Nobody knows who Monty Brown is, but this guy is built like a brick shithouse and immediately catches the eye of The Asylum as he heads down to the ring with a purpose…
Douglas stands up from his chair as Monty Brown enters the ring…
Monty Brown takes the mic from Shane Douglas, looks around the arena and begins to smirk. He looks back at Shane Douglas before shouting out…
“POOOUNNNCEEE!!!”
Monty Brown drops the mic…
HE CHARGES FULL SPEED AHEAD LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TOWARDS SHANE DOUGLAS…
AND MONTY BROWN SHOULDER BLOCKS DOUGLAS OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR!!
Shane Douglas hits the ringside floor like a ton of bricks as Monty Brown soaks in the loud pop from The Asylum!!!
Shane Douglas came out to air his grievances, and just got
POUNCED for his troubles!!!
West and Tenay talk about Monty Brown, as Professor Tenay tells us that the move we all just witnessed is called THE POUNCE and Monty Brown uses it as his finisher! Douglas lies in pain on the outside floor, licking his wounds, as Brown gives high fives all around ringside…
Goldilocks is standing by with Mike Awesome! She asks Mike Awesome his thoughts on his match just SECONDS AWAY against D’Lo Brown in a NWA Title Tournament!
“I’ve traveled the world, been at the top, got tossed to the bottom…and now I find myself here in TNA with a golden opportunity…”
The camera zooms in on the massive Mike Awesome…
“D’Lo Brown…I have nothing against you…so don’t take it personally when I Awesome Bomb you so hard you end up back in Connecticut!”
Mike Awesome flexes for the camera and as we are about to head back down to ringside, where West and Tenay hype up our next matchup, Don Callis shoots into our frame, offering a hand to Mike Awesome who looks down at Callis…
“Mike Awesome, I’m a huge fan. I was just wondering…”
Awesome lets out a small smirk before he grabs Callis’ hand with all of his might! Callis lets out a little yelp before he falls to his knees…
“Take that act somewhere else Don Callis…You know I can’t be bought…”
Awesome replies, as he finally releases the firm grip he has on Don Callis’ hand. Awesome walks off as Callis dusts himself off and looks at Goldilocks, who doesn’t know what to think, before he stands up and walks off…
Match 6- NWA Championship Tournament Match
Mike Awesome vs. D’Lo Brown
D’Lo takes it to Mike Awesome right away, hammering with lefts and rights until he backs the big man into the corner…where Awesome winds back…
AND CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT THAT KNOCKS D’LO BROWN BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!
D’Lo shakes the cobwebs and before he can even react, Awesome is full speed ahead with a
SHOULDER BLOCK!!
D’Lo ends up in the opposite corner where Awesome puts the boots to him. Awesome slides outside of the ring and grabs a hold of D’Lo from in between the ropes and begins to rear back, slamming D’Lo’s head repeatedly into the turnbuckles!!
Awesome then whips out
A TABLE! He slides it inside the ring before following up with it. D’Lo is waiting with a kick to the gut, then a bounce off the ropes and a
NECKBREAKER!! D’Lo goes for a cover but Awesome
KICKS OUT AT ONE!!!
The move didn’t hurt Awesome, and if anything, just pissed him off! He yells in the face of D’Lo Brown as The Asylum gets behind the 6 foot 6 wrecking machine! D’Lo goes for a shoulder block but doesn’t budge Awesome. He goes for another one. Nothing! Once more, but Awesome is waiting, lifts D’Lo up in the air and connects with
A HUGE BACK BODY DROP!!!
Awesome then sets the table up, lugs D’Lo over to the top turnbuckle….lifts him up….The Asylum is on their feet….
AWESOME BOMB THROUGH THE TABLE!!!
Awesome hooks the leg of D’Lo…
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 5:00- Mike Awesome
The Asylum LOVES Mike Awesome as they give him a thunderous ovation! West and Tenay hype up the athletic big man and say the NWA Title Match next week just got a lot more interesting! So far, it is Ken Shamrock, Ekmo and now Mike Awesome with one spot left- either Jeff Jarrett or Ron Killings!!
Goldilocks is standing by with Jeff Jarrett! Jarrett holds his guitar in his hand and shakes his head, clearly frustrated about something. He cuts off Goldy and begins to give us all a piece of his mind!
“I still am trying to wrap my head around the fact that I…Jeff Jarrett…the man who is related to the man that signs the checks around here…find myself having to QUALIFY for the NWA Championship next week?”
Jarrett shakes his head in frustration as he continues…
“I really hope Jim Cornette remembers who put him in a position of power! And don’t worry…if you think for one second that I-Jeff Jarrett- THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN- don’t have a plan in place for tonight, then you just don’t know me at all. Not Cornette, not Ron Killings…NOBODY can stop me tonight! And you can ALL CHOKE ON THAT!”
Jarrett leaves in a heap as we send it back down to ringside for
OUR MAIN EVENT of the inaugural PPV here in TNA!!
Match 7- NWA Championship Tournament Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Ron Killings
Ron Killings has had a stay up north, and is looking to make a name for himself in TNA. Jeff Jarrett, well, you know all about him. The owner’s son, on a power trip, looking to cut corners to become the most powerful man in TNA and NWA World Champion simultaneously…
Killings starts out the match at a fast pace in an attempt to wear down Jarrett. Killings hits a corkscrew dropkick followed by a roundhouse kick! Jarrett falls to the outside and calls for a “Timeout” but referee Slick Johnson still counts!
Jarrett argues with the referee…
LOOK OUT!!!
KILLINGS LEAPS OVER THE REFEREE WHILE GOING AIRBORNE ONTO JARRETT AT RINGSIDE!!!
Killings is in complete control as he tosses Jarrett hard into the steel guard rail! He takes Jarrett and slides him back inside the ring before climbing to the top rope. Killings sizes up Jarrett…
AND CONNECTS WITH A TOP ROPE LEG DROP ON JARRETT!!!
1…2…NOOO!!!
The Asylum, along with West and Tenay thought that was it! The Asylum is firmly behind Killings as he looks to put Jarrett away. Killings lunges at Jarrett, who at the last second grabs a hold of Referee Slick Johnson and uses him as a shield! Killings knocks the referee over as he is now
OUT COLD after taking a hard spill to the outside!!
With no referee in sight, Jarrett begins to smirk!
There is commotion in the crowd as someone with a hooded sweatshirt races through the crowd, hops the barricade, and slides into the ring. This mysterious man takes off his hood…
IT’S ROADHOUSE JAMES!!!
Jeff Jarrett’s long time pal is here in TNA!! Jarrett is all smiles as James tosses Jarrett a pair of brass knuckles! Jarrett turns around
AND DRILLS KILLINGS IN THE HEAD WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!!
Roadhouse James picks up the referee and slides him inside the ring. Jarrett lifts up Killings…
JARRETT CONNECTS WITH THE STROKE FOR GOOD MEASURE!!!
1…2…3!!!
Winner at 8:00- Jeff Jarrett
Jarrett and Roadhouse James celebrate as The Asylum showers the ring with boos! The two old friends embrace, as a team of Medics comes down to check on the fallen Ron Killings!
West and Tenay say Jeff Jarrett may be in a different company, but is still up to his old tricks, and this is what he meant by saying he had a plan for tonight! Jarrett and James raise each others hands…only for the crowd to go wild!
WHY IS THE CROWD GOING WILD?!?!?
BECAUSE MIKE AWESOME, EKMO AND KEN SHAMROCK have emerged from the back, and all circle the ringside area!
JEFF JARRETT AND ROADHOUSE JAMES ARE BLOCKED FROM ALL EXITS! The crowd eats it up as Jarrett and James are surrounded! They look at each other in the ring, trying to figure out what move to make…
Just as the trio of Jarrett’s foes begin to hop onto the apron…
DON AND RON HARRIS run down the ramp to even up the odds!
OF COURSE THE HARRIS BROTHERS ARE HERE!!!!
These two behemoths have come to Jarrett’s rescue, as they must be getting paid handsomely to protect Jeff Jarrett!
Shamrock, Ekmo and Awesome begin throwing haymakers at The Harris Brothers at ringside, and this distracts Jarrett and James enough that Mike Awesome is able to head into the ring! Jarrett quickly hits the deck and rolls outside the ring, but Roadhouse James isn’t so lucky. He finds himself stuck in the ring with
MIKE AWESOME!! James goes for a punch but Awesome blocks it and drills him with a
BIG BOOT!! Awesome then lifts James up…
CHOKESLAM TO ROADHOUSE JAMES!!!
Down at ringside, The Harris Brothers and Jeff Jarrett are putting the boots to Shamrock and Ekmo!
Following the Chokeslam to James, Mike Awesome looks out at the sea of bodies at ringside. The Asylum is on their feet as they expect what is about to happen…
Awesome races off the ropes…
MIKE AWESOME FLIES THROUGH THE AIR WITH A MASSIVE DIVE ON TOP OF EVERYBODY AT RINGSIDE!
The Asylum EXPLODES for Mike Awesome, who is the only one left standing tall!! There are bodies everywhere at ringside, and West and Tenay hype up next week’s
HUGE NWA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH- INSIDE A STEEL CAGE!!!
West and Tenay sign us off as the credits begin to roll, signaling the end of the
first of MANY TNA PPV’S to grace your screen here in 2002!
Awesome stands tall as the camera pans out to show him looking out at the NWA Championship, sitting brightly on a black pedestal at ringside…For now, Mike Awesome is the last man standing, and we are all left wondering if this will be the scene at the end of next week’s show!!!
