-"38 Million People Voted Him The Most Hated Villian in the history of CBS'
SURVIVOR... in seven days, he'll make headlines again... JONNY FAIRPLAY...
NEXT WEEK!" Logo looks exactly like the WrestleMania XII logo mocking the
Hollywood ideals. Notably, they're spelling it Jonny here instead of JOHNNY
or JOHNY. It's getting out of hand. It's JOHNNY from here on out from me.
Just like it'll be MONTE BROWN since they went through all that trouble to
inform me it was with an E and not a Y then changed it.

MATCH #2: "THE ALPHA MALE" MONTE BROWN [9-2-1] v. "IRISH" PAT KENNEY [4-2-0]

-Speaking of inconsistencies, apparently the JEFF HARDY v. A.J. STYLES
match from Wednesday is no a No Contest. Wow, I didn't realize that when
two guys jump only one participant that is what happens. Didn't they do a
DQ win for AMERICA'S MOST WANTED over ABYSS & BROWN last week with the same
finish? They did? Wow.
-Anyways, I guess they don't want to present it as Hardy losing his debut
with the company (since the videos tend to mean the guy is signed and
sticking around, nevermind their questioning whether he's signed a deal or
not)... the fact still remains that Styles beat Hardy by DQ Wednesday Night.
-Brown still with his lame SICKNESS rip.
-Tenay informs us that the ALPHA MALE isn't a gimmick, but an image
according to Brown.
-Tenay brings everyone up to speed on Kenney, noting that when he was
turned on by JOHNNY SWINGER he went back to his Irish roots. How sweet.
-Brown is "undefeated" in action (Don West is smart enough to say "as of
late"! WEST GETS A COOKIE~!)
-Circle to start.
-Collar and elbow then Brown works in a headlock.
-Tenay talks about how everything came full circle for Kenney when he and
Siaki won the ULTIMATE HUMILIATION MATCH over GLENN GILBERTI & Swinger two
weeks ago.
-Kenney backs Brown to the ropes and tries to shove him off by can't.
-Shots to the stomach by Kenney and he takes Brown to the ropes again.
-Kenney shoves him off this time, but eats a shoulder and hits the canvas.
-Brown screams, then hits the ropes.
-Kenney drops to his stomach, then gets an arm drag take over when Brown
comes from the opposite side.
-Kenney with a second arm drag and Brown bails to the floor.
-Kenney his a slingshot high cross body from the ring to the floor.
-Kenney tosses Brown back into the ring as West puts over that Kenney needs
to find different ways to attempt to take down Brown, who is such a
physical specimen.
-Back in, Kenney eats a right as the referee yells at him.
-Brown takes advantage, putting the boots to Kenney.
-Punches by Brown from his knees, and then a choke.
-We cut to the back with Gilberti & Swinger in their Humiliation Garb,
watching the match.
-Swinger is being LEX LUGER making his pecs dance and move the coconut bra.

-Cover for two after wasting time.
-Brown gets a step over armbar and Kenney fights out.
-Kenney hits the ropes and ducks a clothesline.

-Rights by Kenney, who keeps beating Brown to hitting a shot.

-[points to Brown's record]

-Kenney tries a cross corner whip, but it's reversed.

...

defeated SONNY SIAKI.
-Brown celebrates.
-Tenay puts over the Brown will attempt to use the Pounce this week when he
meets D-LO (BROWN).

MATCH #2: "The Alpha Male" Monte Brown [10-2-1] d. "Irish" Pat Kenney
[4-3-0] by Pinfall after "The Pounce" leaping charging shoulder block from
the side.

-Up next, AMERICA'S MOST WANTED takes on TEAM CANADA.

-D-LO BROWN and "THE ALPHA MALE" MONTE BROWN History Recap Video to hype
the Pay-Per-View. It should be noted that since they both have the same
last name, it's just D-LO now (at least for the time being). I wonder if
that means that it'll become just "HEAVY D" DON (HARRIS) too... nice
package noting that D-Lo plans on challenging for the NWA WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP and Monte disagrees with these plans, feeling he's in line for
a shot. They'll meet this week to determine a top contender.

[Break]

MATCH #3: NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: AMERICA'S MOST WANTED [46-18-0] v.
TEAM CANADA (BOBBY ROODE & PETEY WILLIAMS) [2-0-0] with SCOTT D'AMORE

-Woo! Three segments, three matches.
-Odds they mention Roode & Williams are undefeated? 100:1
-Of course, they shove it down our throats about Monte Brown and have been
since his return despite the fact that he ISN'T...
-Tenay talks about the X Division expanding their horizons.
-Tenay puts over the fact that Team Canada has the perfect opportunity to
expand those horizons this week when they take on the NWA World Tag Team
Champions.
-Tenay puts over America's Most Wanted as the most decorated tag team in
(NWA) Total Nonstop Action.
-AMW comes to the ring draped in the American flag for the second show in a
row.
-It seems odd to me seeing either of these two come to the ring with ring
gear as they really haven't been using it prior to the attack by THE NATURALS.
-In tag teams, they never used it.
-While doing the singles thing prior to Impact, both Harris & Storm used it
semi-regularly, but not to the point of it being an importance.

make-up on them at the Anniversary Show.

when we cut back).

-Tenay puts over the ever present LOOK AHEAD FACTOR, noting that AMW can't
be looking ahead to Wednesday's match with The Naturals.
-What many of you who haven't been watching TNA since the beginning are
missing is when Tenay says this, AMW is going to look even MORE dominant
and then get screwed to lose the match. It's happened when they fought THE
ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS... it happened when they fought GILBERTI & MIKE
SANDERS... and it's happened in Non-Title matches with SIMON DIAMOND (Pat

-VINCE RUSSO History Recap Video. Puts over that Russo has drastically
changed his approach since becoming the NWA Director Of Authority. He's
proven to stay STRONG under adversity. Urgh. He's the Director Of
Authority, not the workers.

-The Band is back to play the old school NWA Theme for a second. This of
course leads out, NWA WORLD CHAMPION(?)... JEFF JARRETT [33-12-3]. If this
delayed decision leads to anything other than a tournament, they've
completely wasted everyone's time, I think. Jarrett is introduced as well
as the King Of The Mountain. Jarrett gets his normal entrance music until
the smoke goes off on the ramp way. The brass quartet in the ring then
plays the rest of the old school NWA Theme they used to use to start up the
NWA Total Nonstop Action. Jarrett puts over that if a guitar was going to
be used in "last week's" NWA World Title match, there would be an immediate
Disqualification. Jarrett says that the whole world say RON "THE TRUTH"
KILLINGS use a guitar. Jarrett says that there is no decision to be made
and he wants Russo to come out and give him back his NWA World Title.

-The old EXTREME REVOLUTION "Come With Me" rip brings out LARRY ZBYSZKO.
Jarrett says he doesn't want Zbyszko out here and that he doesn't care if
he's the Judge for Impact or not. Jarrett says he wants Russo and his World
Title back. Zbyszko, on the apron now, wants Jarrett to shut up. "You
want... you want... you want... you sound like my wife!" Zbyszko tells
Jarret to shut up again. Zbyszko makes it into the ring finally and Jarrett
gets up in his face. Jarrett tells Zbyszko that this is his ring, he's the
World Champ, the King of the Mountain, and that this is "My World". Zbyszko
tells Jarrett that he doesn't want him to leave since Zbyszko just left
"the big room" (oooh! THE ROOM!) and that Vince Russo wants him to relay a
message. Zbyszko says that Jarrett will get "their decision... this
Wednesday... on Pay-Per-View!" (Crowd: Boo!) Jarrett tells Zbyszko that
they've been on the same side of the fence before and he asks Zbyszko to
help him out just this once and to get his title. Zbyszko tells Jarrett
that he's got him confused with someone who gives a damn. Zbyszko says that
he just left two men in the back that are racking their brains on how to
give the fairest decision they can make. A fair decision for Jarrett, the
fans, and for the NWA Heavyweight Championship of the world. Zbyszko says
that this Wednesday we'll all find out what it is. Jarrett then wallops
Zbyszko with a guitar shot. Jarrett stomps Zbyszko and says that "these
people aren't going to find nothing out!" (double negatives rule!) Jarrett
proclaims that he is the World Champion. "B.G." BRIAN GERRARD JAMES hits
the ring with KONNAN in tow. Rights by James. Konnan hits the Rolling
Thunder lariat. RON KILLINGS is on the apron and hits a slingshot
springboard missile dropkick.

-At this point, THE ELITE GUARD (CHAD COLLYER & SHAWN "HOTSTUFF" HERNANDEZ)
[0-1-0] hit the ring. Odd, where's ONYX? They jump 3 LIVE KRU [19-1-2] and
we have a beat down by Jarrett & The Guard on the Kru.

-Coming Up Next... see what happened when Jeff Jarrett attacked HULK HOGAN!

-NWA TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION IMPACT! FLASHBACK: Jeff Jarrett kabongs Hulk
Hogan with a guitar. JIMMY HART makes the save. Wow, I've never seen this
footage before. Nope. Never. Hogan bleeds and the screen turns black and
white. MASA HIRO CHONO makes the save.

-MIKE TENAY & DON WEST IN A BRIGHT FREAKING SHIRT THAT'S NOT SHINY welcome
us at ringside. We've come to the conclusion that West's shirts have a
contract with INDEMAND that causes them to not be visible anywhere but
Pay-Per-View. This would also explain why West is always just in an UGLY or
LOUD shirt when he appears on Xplosion. We'll keep you updated on the
contractual status of West's shiny shirts, which have appeared to go with
the one year option after their initial 2 year deal. Tenay puts over that
"the King of the Mountain" has been taking on the World, as we've seen from
the footage and from just moments ago. Tenay says that we haven't heard
from Hulk Hogan since. West puts over the irony that a guitar shot like we
just saw on Zbyszko is at the center of the controversy around the NWA
World Championship. Card rundown for Wednesday Night. See the promo spots
or the end of the report for my rundown. Next week on IMPACT, the
CONTROVERSIAL DENNIS RODMAN will be here and we're going to find out what's
behind his debut with TNA. Tenay puts over JEFF HARDY's debut this past
Wednesday Night. Tenay asks if TNA will be able to sign Jeff Hardy.

-JEFF HARDY Highlight Music Video. The video packages they made for Hardy's
debut Wednesday Night that aired throughout the show are shown (no old man,
though). Complete with the "See You In The Future" tag line. Yeah, we make
videos for all the guys we think the WWE is using at SummerSlam and we
don't have signed to deals.

-Up Next A.J. STYLES & D-LO BROWN take on DALLAS & ABYSS! Alphabetical
order means nothing when we hype stuff~!

-KID KASH/A.J. STYLES History Recap Video to hype the match this Wendesday
Night. Another good job.

MATCH #4: ABYSS & DALLAS [0-0-0] with GOLDYLOCKS v. D-LO BROWN & NWA X
DIVISION CHAMPION: A.J. STYLES [5-3-0]

-Oh my god.
-Skankylocks has finally made the trip and is accompanying Abyss to ringside.
-Only took her four episodes to do it too!
-Dallas is without Kid Kash.
-Dallas still has the rip of VAST's TOUCHED, which is actually STYLES'
music in NWA WILDSIDE.
-D-M-X... err. D-LO BROWN comes out. The rips of popular songs are getting
out of hand.
-I wonder where D-LO's old partner "EL LEON" GRAN APOLO went to...
-Odds that someone mentions D-Lo/A.J. being a former team or a regular team
at one point? 2:1
-Odds that someone mentions D-Lo/A.J.'s bids to become NWA WORLD TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONS? 3:1
-Odds that someone mentions D-Lo/Dallas feuding over the NWA WORLD TAG TEAM
TITLES just a month ago with different partners? 5:1
-Odds that anyone mentions A.J./Abyss holding the tag team titles before? 8:1
-Odds that they mention everyone in this match is a former NWA WORLD TAG
TEAM CHAMPION? 10:1
-Odds that they mention Abyss & A.J.'s never being a team led to the NWA
World Tag Team Championship being vacated and Kid Kash bringing in Dallas
to NWA TNA? 52:1
-Odds that someone other than me will mention this or care? 600:1.
-Brawl on them floor to start.
-Styles is paired with Dallas and Brown with Abyss.
-Another odds question, will they mention that Abyss beat Styles to be a
contender for the World Title that Styles eventually won? What about Abyss
never receiving the shot despite (other than Raven) being the only one
before the title win by Styles to beat him? And hey, D-Lo was "taken out"
by Abyss before. I wonder if they'll mention the hatred THERE... nah...
-Styles with shots, then a low kick, then more shots on the floor with Dallas.

facing the crowd before falling to the mat.

-Brown tries again... same thing.
-DON WEST WINS THE AWARD for the 2:1 Odds Question. Good job Don~! West
mentions that we've seen D-Lo/A.J. "team briefly" in the past. Sure...
they've only received tag title shots in the past and what not.

challenge Abyss and his tag team partner (we thought LEX LUGER) for the tag
titles? Then they were stripped instead? Neither does TNA.

and giants.

taking the big men down.

THE BLACKOUT), when Brown comes in and boots Dallas to the gut.

powerbomb) as Styles hits the ropes to hit an running neck breaker (but
doesn't seem to get it quite well).

-Abyss rolls Styles back in and Brown stops pounding on Dallas to hit a
tope suicida through the top and middle ropes.
