TNA Wrestling: Cross The Line

[The Rated R CMStar]

BM: Main event, made sense to have RHino as the tag team of Cage, and now he betrays Christian, completely out of nowhere. I am still sure that the Lethal Lockdown is coming from this feud.

WM: None

BP: The opening one, first with the announcement of the Xscape Match, and then Christian coming out. Greatly in character, as Cage is not a sympathetic face, but more of a cocky one.

WP: None

AC: Great show, it advanced the feuds, but I would have liked more star power, no Sting, no Booker T, no Team 3D, and with them it could have been even better. I was shocked with no fallout on Roode/Abyss, and instead we got James Storm in the feud with Abyss. Lockdown is shaping up good.

 

[Qwake]

BM: The M/E was really good, I didnt see Rhyno doing that at all lol, I also liked the MCMG/Rock N Rave.

WM: N/A I loved them all yet there could have been more though

BP: The opening Promo was good with Cage and all the others, very in character

WP: N/A, they were all a very good read.

AF: Wow this is a good BTB! I wish I had seen this sooner! everything was awesome I just wish there was a couple more matches lol. ill keep reviewing, Check out TNE if you like

Tomko: This thursday on iMPACT! all you people better be watching, because we arent done just yet. You see, I want to start my own faction here in TNA, and I'm going to call it..Team Tomko! But 3 members isnt enough, this Thursday one more man is going to join Team Tomko, and together we are going to end Christian Cage's career and completely take over TNA Wrestling!

[KroniK 4-2-0]

^Good preview, man. I'm curious to if you will have Lethal Lockdown?

If you are, it's lookin' good, because it could be Team rhino/Tomko/AJ vs. Team Cage. Should be very good, i'll review when the show is up.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I am very curious to see not who completes Team Tomko, but who completes Christian Cage to what now seems evident to be the Lethal Lockdown.

It seems you have gotten to a similiar direction with the Samoa Joe/Kurt Angle build up, now I am curious if your match will be a MMA as well, lol. The next step between Abyss and Storm will be good. I am also expecting to see more of Sting/Steiner/Booker T in this show

Samoa Joe: "Mike, I havn't had the opportunity to hold the World title yet, but because of that, I feel so determined to finally win it and become the TNA World Champion for the first time. With that said, the TNA World Heavyweight Championship means...well....my entire wrestling career. I came to TNA because I dreamed of becoming a World Champion here, and it is the only reason why I am still here. Lets be honest, if you become one of the most popular guys in the company, you are bringing the promotion you work for thousands of dollars, and the wrestling world is buzzing about you, the only thing left is winning the World Championship. Mike, I am in that situation. I came into this company not knowing what to expect, but after a few years I knew the fans were behind me, and it is because of them that I am here today. Anyway, back to your question, the World Title means everything to me, I want it more than anything in my life right now, and at Lockdown, I will beat Kurt Angle and for the first time ever I will stand over Kurt, TNA World Champion"

Mike Tenay: "Tell us about your time in the X-Division and how it helped your career"

Samoa Joe: "The X-Division is one of the main reasons why I am here. I had some great battles with guys like Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles, and the X-Division Championship was also the first title belt that I ever won here in TNA. The X-Division helped my career alot, but now that I am in the main event, I look forward to seeing the new stars of the X-Division shine. Guys like Black Machismo, Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams, and many more"

Mike Tenay: "We all know the involvement of Karen Angle in the Hard Justice main event last year, cost you the World Title, are you worried about that happening once again?"

Samoa Joe: "Mike Tenay let me make this very clear, there is absolutely NOTHING that is going to stop me from breaking Kurt Angle in half, especially Karen Angle. Besides I dont expect to see her at Lockdown anyway, Kurt told her he wanted a separation there is no reason for her to get involved in our match. Mike the bottom line is, I am not worried about anything getting in my way. I dont care what happens, I will walk out of the Tsongas arena as your new TNA World Champion, and a whole new era will begin here in TNA Wrestling"

Mike Tenay: "Thank you for your time Joe"

Samoa Joe: "No problem"

Winners and still TNA World Tag Team Champions: AJ Styles and Tomko

Mike Tenay: "AJ Styles and Tomko won! They are still the TNA Tag Team Champions"

Don West: "What a main event that was Mike, The Motor City Machine Guns fell short but they gave it their all!"

Robert Roode and Rhino come down the ramp and into the ring, they celebrate with AJ Styles and Tomko

Mike Tenay: "Well ladies and gentlemen, thats it for iMPACT! we'll see you-

Christian Cage's theme hits

Don West: "Wait! Not so fast Mike, here comes Christian Cage!"

Mike Tenay: "Christian Cage is here! But he is outnumbered 4 to 1, what is he going to do?"

Christian Cage comes out of the tunnel with a mic in hand, he stands on the stage

Christian Cage: "Well look at that. Tomko has formed his own little group, how cute!"

The crowd laughs

Christian Cage: "Rhino! Last week you made the worst move of your career, you stabbed me in the back! You made the wrong choice, and tonight you and all of your new friends are going to regret it! Tomko I understand that you formed your own faction and hey, thats all fine, but why dont you let The Instant Classic join in the fun? You see, I didnt show up ONCE tonight because I was in the back trying to recruit members to join my own faction!"

Tomko grabs a mic

Tomko: "Oh please!? Who the hell would want to join a group with you?"

Christian Cage: "Tomko, why dont you keep your stupid comments to yourself! Because believe it or not, I recruited 3 other men to form a team with me, 3 men that I can TRUST!! 3 men that I know will have the balls to tell me if they have a problem with me, instead of attack me from behind! Tomko, let me introduce you to the members of my team....Team Cage! First, we have a man who has decided to quit TNA management and become a full time wrestler, he is...Matt Morgan!"

Matt Morgan's theme hits, Morgan comes out of the tunnel with a mic in hand, he stands next to Cage

Matt Morgan: "I am sick and tired of being Jim Cornette's bodyguard! From now on I am going to become a full time wrestler here in TNA, and Team Tomko, you guys will be my first victims! Because the fact is, I am too genetically jacked, and athletically stacked to sit in the back and do nothing! I want to come out here and kick some ass, and thats exactly what I am going to do with The Instant Classic, Christian Cage!"

Christian Cage: "Thanks Matt, and the next man...he is Booker T!"

Booker T comes out with a mic, he stands next to Christian and Matt on the stage

Booker T: "I dont like backstabbers, and after what Rhino did to Christian last week, I think its fair that Christian gets his revenge, and I am going to help him get what he deserves! You see, we are going to kick all of your punk asses and prove that we are the best faction in the world!"

Christian Cage: "And finally, he is a legend, an icon in this business...he is none other than...Sting!"

Sting's theme hits, Sting comes out of the tunnel with a mic in hand

Sting: "Christian Cage talked to me in the back, he asked me if I wanted to form a team with him and honestly, after what I saw last week, I couldnt refuse! All 4 of you in the ring are the most pathetic individuals that I have ever seen! And tonight, Team Cage is going to get retribution by beating the hell out of all of you and reminding you that"

Matt Morgan: "Payback is a bitch!"

Christian Cage: "Tomko! We talked about retribution, payback, and revenge, but their is a difference between talking about something and actually DOING something, so tonight we are done talking our heads off! Tonight, we want to end it once and for all, right here, and right now"

Christian drops his mic and Team Cage runs to the ring and starts brawling with Team Tomko!

Mike Tenay: "Oh my god! We have a huge 8 man brawl going on right here in the iMPACT! Zone, all hell has broken loose!"

Don West: "Here comes security to break this up!"

A group of TNA security jump into the ring and break things up, Jim Cornette comes out of the tunnel

Jim Cornette: "Alright thats enough! Its obvious that if you guys wanted to settle this tonight the show would never end, so this is what we are going to do! You see, everywhere I go I hear the same damned question, 'hey, why isn't their a Lethal Lockdown match at this year's Lockdown?' well guess what, now all those people can finally shut the hell up because at Lockdown we are going to have a Lethal Lockdown match, and it will be between Team Cage and Team Tomko!"

Mike Tenay: "Yes! Finally this fued can be settled and it will all end in the Lethal Lockdown match!"

Jim Cornette: "Hold on, I'm not finished! Next week right here on iMPACT! it will be the two team captains, Christian Cage and Tomko, facing each other in a one on one match and whoever wins gets the advantage for their team in Lethal Lockdown!"

Mike Tenay: "What an anouncement by Jim Cornette! It will be Christian vs Tomko next week, but at Lockdown its Team Cage vs Team Tomko in the Lethal Lockdown match!"

Don West: "Wait a minute, the brawl has started up again Mike!"

All 8 men break through security and start brawling again

Mike Tenay: "What a huge brawl! Ladies and gentlemen, its Lethal Lockdown at TNA Lockdown live in 2 weeks and only on PPV, dont miss it!"

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

BM - The Main Event of the MCMG vs Styles & Tomko. It told a great story, and it flowed really nicely as a match, I'm liking the feud, and I really want to see what else will happen.

WM - Angles vs Shark Boy was a squash. His prematch promo was good though, getting himself looking like a great heel, screwing with the fans.

BP - Samoa Joe's interview was great, I liked the shoot feel to it and how it was explained on his plans for the futture. I liked the end promo too, it was a nice segment as well with the announcement of Lethal Lockdown.

WP - None

AC - This is a really good BTB, I have been liking what TNA's doing for real, and I'm liking this TNA BTB too, good work.

 

[Qwake]

BM: AJ Styles/Tomko Vs MCMG was an awesome match! what a great way to build the fued up!

WM: Sharkboy Vs Kurt Angle lol. nice way to make Kurt look dominant as a heel.

BP: The ending segment was my favourite but I also liked Samoa Joes interview and Kurt Angles little talk before his match lol.

WP: N/A they were all very good.

AF: This BTB is really good, keep it up and im going to keep reviewing. check out TNE if you like...

 

[The Leviathan]

Best Match: MCMG vs. Styles/Tomko is totally great

Worst Match: Angle/Sharkboy, I think this one is an angle really to make Angle over before he go to Lethal Lockdown. I also thought Sharkboy here is going to do his Stone Cold parodies, lol...

Best Promo: The Samoa Joe Interview, it really makes you feel that Samoa Joe is going to win the title.

Worst Promo: n/a

Additional Feedbacks: Another great read from you, I really liked your promos it really gives some feel that I am really watching the real TNA, lol... Rhino being a monster again is great but I wonder what is next for him after Lethal Lockdown. I can't wait for your PPV man!

 

[Evil Austin]

BM - Main Event being MCMG vs Aj and Tomko was great match best of night.
WM - Angle / Sharkboy I mean you need a squash match every now and than but this was the worst of the night.
WP - none
BP - Finishing one with Booker cage and don west was the best imo

Good show, this only started a week ago at most and well this is already ramming through the competition. I am starting to like this. expect your next show to be reviewed from me. If you like check out one of my shows (WAW) ... thanks.

 

[The Ripper]

BM: Tag Team Main Event, great match which boosts tag team division. Good to see a match where two X Division stars can go toe to toe with a big man like Tomko
WM: Angle/Sharkboy, but nothing more could be expected when he has to beat him in less than 2 mins
BP: Last one, totally built up Lethal Lockdown with Cage revealing his team and the brawl. Build Lethal Lockdown up more and puts more rivalry into the match
WP: I wasn't into the Jay Lethal promo, i think adding a bit more of a comedy side to Machismo works better.
AC: Good show and this is the sort of thing TNA should be doing

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

Team Tomko promo: Great promo, and nice to see you are really pushing Tomko. Whole promo was just well put together, and Jim coming out at the end was really in character.

Lethal promo: A neat little promo for Lethal which was very in character again. Your promo work is nothing short of awesome so far.

Skipper vs Dutt: A nice fast paced X-Division style match up, with Sonjay going over clean. I’m guessing Sonjay will win the title now at Lockdown.

Angle promo: Wow he is confident. Bt this promo definitely makes me suspect that it will be Sharkboy to accept.

Angle vs Sharkboy: And I was right. Um, squash.

Joe interview: Really makes you think about what Joe has gone through just to get to that situation, and how much he deserves the title. Great work.

Petey vs Homicide: A short, face paced X-Division match. Petey goes over clean, which is nice to see from a heel.

MCMG promo: They are confident, playing the babyface role well. I hope they do win. Go MCMG!

MCMG vs AJ/Tomko: A great long main event that really put over MCMG as being able to hang with heavyweights like Tomko. Best match of the night.

Cage promo: Really in character, and Cage's team is absolutely stacked. Nice show closing brawl, and Lockdown looks to be shaping up huge with matches like these.

BM: Main event

WM: All served their purpose.

BP: I’d say Joe or Tomko, but all of your promos are absolutely awesome.

WP: See above

AC: This is the first time I have really carefully read your BTB and you are no doubt one of the future writers of this section. Your writing is already awesome and I can’t wait to see you improve more and more.

---------

Christian Cage: Look at this team, we have myself, the Instant Classic Christian Cage! We have The Icon Sting, Booker T, and the one man army, Matt Morgan! Together, we are Team Cage, and this Thursday on iMPACT! I am going to beat the living hell out of Tomko! Why? Because he doesnt appreciate what I did for him, he completely forgot that I made him what he is today! But it doesnt matter anymore, because after I destroy him on iMPACT! and gain the advantage for Team Cage, we will get retribution in the Lethal Lockdown match, and we will end this the only way possible...on our terms!

Mike Tenay: Welcome back to iMPACT! everyone!

James Storm's theme hits, the Cowboy comes down the ramp and into the ring

James Storm: We are only 3 short days away from seeing the match that everyone's been talking about. For those of you who dont remember, a few weeks ago right here on iMPACT! I challenged Abyss to a match that could change his carer forever. My challenge was, if I beat Abyss at Lockdown, Abyss will have to unmask and show the world exactly who he really is. For years Abyss, your identity has been hidden because of that mask, and at Lockdown, that mask is going to come off, and you are going to show the world your ugly face!

The crowd starts "You suck" chants

James Storm: Shut up! You people can chant all you want, but it isn't going to change a thing! You know, everywhere that I've gone ever since I ussued the challenge...all I've been hearing is 'why James? Why do you want Abyss to unmask?' well I'll tell you why. Because I am sick and tired of Abyss getting all the attention just because he comes out here and ACTS like a monster. Thats right, I said ACTS! I've said this once, but I'm gonna say it again, what the hell kind of monster takes a 2 month break because he has emotional problems? What the hell kind of monster backs down from beating the living hell out of his opponent so he can go to the back and cry like a little baby!? Abyss, you are nothing but a drama queen, and I'm sick and tired of you getting the spotlight here in TNA because of your look! All you do, is come out here to the iMPACT! zone with your little darth vader theme song, wearing a mask that you probably bought from your local dollar store, and yet all these stupid people cheer for you, it makes me sick!

The crowd boo

James Storm: At Lockdown in 3 days, I'm gonna end this once and for all! I am going to stand in the ring drinkin my beer, and I'm gonna watch you take that mask off. And once you do it, me...along with all these people...we are going to laugh at your face! We are going to point and laugh at how ugly you are Abyss! The bottom line is, at Lockdown, I will beat you in the Six Sides of steel, and you will be forced to take that mask off, and all I'm going to have left to say is sorry about your damn luck...chris!

Abyss' theme hits to a big pop from the crowd, Abyss comes down the ramp and into the ring

Abyss: Your time for talking is over!

James Storm: no! Screw you! I can talk until the damn sun goes down, I aint gonna stop because you told me to! Chris, their is something you need to know about me. I aint like all the other guys that you've wrestled here in TNA. I'm different, Abyss, unlike all of those guys...I've got something that they dont have, balls! I got the balls to stand up to you Chris, I'm not scared, and I'm ready to take you down. Why wait until Lockdown Chris? I should unmask you...right now!

Storm tries to attack Abyss but The Monster grabs James Storm by the neck and he hits him with a clothesline! Abyss leaves the ring and grabs a table, he brings the table into the ring. The monster sets the table up in the middle of the ring, he brings Storm to his feet, wips him across the ring and hits a black hole slam on Storm that sends him through the table!

Mike Tenay: Oh my god! Abyss has head enough, he just sent Storm right through that table!

Don West: That was unbelievable Mike, I cant wait to see these two guys battle in the cage at Lockdown this sunday!

Mike Tenay: To the back JB standing by with Kurt Angle!

Backstage:​

Jeremy Borash: "I am here with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle! Kurt, this sunday is the match everyone has been waiting for. This sunday, its you vs Samoa Joe and that TNA World Title is going to be on the line. Will it be Joe's night, or will you once again retain that TNA World Title?

Kurt Angle: What a stupid question!

Jeremy Borash: whats wrong with it?

Kurt Angle: Did you come up with that JB?

Jeremy Borash: Yea

Kurt Angle: Well then your a freakin moron! So your basically asking me if I think Joe is going to beat me, or if I am going to beat him this sunday at Lockdown...

Jeremy Borash: I'm pretty sure thats what the question was Kurt

Kurt Angle: You've got to be kidding me...

Jeremy Borash: I really dont understand whats so bad abou-

Kurt Angle: Ofcourse I think I'm going to beat Joe, and he thinks he is going to beat me! What the hell kind of question is that!? Do you honestly think that question makes sense!? I am an olympic gold medalist, I am the current TNA World Champion, a former 12 time World Champion, a triple crown winner, I have over 10 years of experiance, what does that mean Jeremy?

Jeremy Borash: uhh, does it mean-

Kurt Angle: It means that I am the best wrestler in the world! I am not worried about the match at Lockdown because I've been in this situation before...Joe hasn't. This could be Samoa Joe's last chance to win the World Title, so I know he is going to get nervous and what happens when people get nervous borash? They choke, and thats exactly what Joe is going to do this sunday at Lockdown. Its do or die for him, but for me, its another day at work because I know how it feels to be in big match situations, and at Lockdown I am going to snap Samoa Joe's ankle, and I am going to walk out with my TNA World Title! Their is nothing that is going to stop me from retaining this championship, so Joe better be careful, he better watch out, because at Lockdown he is going to go through hell against me. I know how he likes to wear that cute little T-shirt that says "Joe knows pain" well, at Lockdown he is going to know pain like hes never known it before! Oh its real Joe....its DAMN real!

Mike Tenay: Earlier tonight, LAX wanted to go to Jim Cornette and demand a match at Lockdown, we've gotten word that they are in Jim Cornette's office right now, lets see whats going on.

Jim Cornette's office:​

Homicide: Jim! We want a match at Lockdown homes, their is no way that we are getting left off the PPV because of you stupid TNA Management ♂♂♂♂♂♂s!

Jim Cornette: Hold on just a second, so you want to barge into my office and demand a match...and you expect me to give you one? Homicide, unfortunately the card for Lockdown has already been finalized, I cant add any more matches, so it looks like you guys are going to have to miss this PPV

Homicide: No! We aren't going to let you do that Jim! All we want is a match, we dont care who we wrestle, we want to be on the Lockdown PPV homes! Lockdown is one of TNA's biggest PPVs, we dont want to miss it! All we are asking for is a match homes

Jim Cornette: I said I'm sorry Homicide, Hernandez, you guys can't wrestle at Lockdown, the card is already finalized

Hernandez pushes down one of Jim Cornette's desk lamps

Homicide: Esto no es justo a todos! Usted está dejando que un gran equipo de etiqueta no aparecerá en Bloqueo, usted está loco!

Jim Cornette: Ok thats it! Just so you know, I didn't understand one word of that spanish gibberish that you just said, and also, their was no need for Hernandez over here, to push down that lamp! I just got that today! I understand you guys are frustrated, but their really isn't anything that I can do! How about this guys, since you are going to miss Lockdown, I'll make it up to you. You see, AJ Styles and Tomko, they havn't been defending the TNA World Tag Team Titles that much so I'm going to make them defend those tag titles against....you, the LAX! Right here, next week on iMPACT!, it will be AJ Styles and Tomko vs LAX for the TNA World Tag Team Titles!

Homicide: You know, it sucks that we dont even get to wrestle at Lockdown this sunday, but Jim, you made up for that big time! Next week, the LAX become TNA World Tag Team Champions! Esto es impresionante!!

Interview area:​

Jeremy Borash: I am here with The instant classic, Christian Cage. Christian, this sunday at Lockdown, your team of Team Cage will take on Team Tomko in the Lethal Lockdown match, tonight though, if you beat Tomko you get the advantage for your team. What are your thoughts?

Christian Cage: Hold on a second Borash

Sting, Booker T, and Matt Morgan join Christian in the interview area

Christian Cage: Now we are good. Anyway, tonight alot is on the line in my match against Tomko. If we can get the advantage in the Lethal Lockdown match, we will have an even better chance of winning, and we will have more time to beat the living hell out of all the members of Team Tomko! Tonight though, I get to kick Tomko's ass in the middle of the six sided ring, tonight I get to take home the advantage and get an even easier win against Tomko's team this sunday at Lockdown! All of this started because of Tomko and AJ Styles, they backstabbed me, and they thought they outsmarted me, but they forgot that nobody outsmarts the Instant Classic! Tomko! You want a war? Well you've got one, this sunday at Lockdown your team is going to get dissected piece by piece, and in the end, Team Cage will stand tall! If you don't know...know you know!

Kurt Angle: Joe...everything we have been though, from our first match at Genesis 2007, to the last match we had at Hard Justice, all the violence, the hate, the respect, everything Joe, it all comes to an end this sunday. This could be your last World Title shot...and hits could be the very last Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe match. Some may ask, why state the obvious? Well, because the obvious is what is going to help me get the victory this sunday. Samoa Joe, I know how nervous you are going into this match. The only reason you wanted to train so hard, was because you knew that I was going to kick your ass! You are a nervous reck, and I am going to use that to my advantage.

Samoa Joe: Hold it! I am a nervous reck? Is that what I just heard you say Kurt?

Kurt Angle: Yea I'm pretty sure thats what I just said

Samoa Joe: Let me tell you something, I am not like all the other guys that you have wrestled in your career. You even admitted it yourself, when me and you step into the ring, I take you to the limit, I make you go through hell. The fact is, I didn't train so hard because I'm "nervous" Kurt, I trained because I wanted to insure that I am going to kick your ass this Sunday at Lockdown, and I wanted to make sure that I was ready to make you tap out in the middle of this ring! I dont EVER get nervous Kurt, I dont feel emotion, the only thing that I feel is pain, but unlike you, I know how to deal with it, I know how to use it to my advantage!

Kurt Angle: You use pain to your advantage? Joe, after I put you in the ankle lock, you aren't going to have time to feel pain because you will already be tapping out! Did you forget that I am an olympic gold medalist? Did you forget that I am a 12 time-

Samoa Joe: 12 time World Champion, Olympic gold medalist, so called "best wrestler in the world", we've heard it all before Kurt. And just incase you didn't know...nobody cares!

The crowd pops

Samoa Joe: What you did in the past doesnt matter! The only thing that matters is what you do now, the only thing that matters is our match at Lockdown in 3 days! You better be ready Kurt, because you have something that I want, that TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and at Lockdown, I am going to take it.

Kurt Angle: You know what Joe? You can talk all you want, hell, both of us can talk all we want, but it isn't going to change a damn thing. If the only thing that matters is our match at Lockdown, then how about we end this without beating the hell out of each other, because I know you want me to be 100% at Lockdown, and I want the same from you...so Joe, lets save our energy for Lockdown, because once that bell rings, we can let it all out. We can beat the living hell out of each other! And then and only then, one man will stand tall, one man will leave the cage as the TNA World Champion.

Kurt Angle extends his hand over to Samoa Joe, Joe shakes it.

Mike Tenay: These two men are going to destroy each other this Sunday at Lockdown, I can't wait to see it!

Don West: Its going to be a classic, possibly TNA's best match ever

Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, it will be Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe for the TNA World Title at Lockdown, along with Team Cage vs Team Tomko in the Lethal Lockdown match, and much more! This is going to be an epic PPV event, you can't miss it! We'll see you sunday!
