[Schlomey]

that match was insane. I MUST see more early TNA matches.

[Lock Jaw]

That match had literally zero "down times" of rest holds or people selling or whatever.

Minus a few botches, no-sells and confusion it was pretty awesome.

[The Mackem]

Wasn't the first TNA match a pre-PPV match that invovled a huge wrestler breaking the ropes?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Their first event was a PPV?

[The Mackem]

Yeah the whole concept of TNA was a weekly PPV format. Ran from June 2002 up to mid 2004. There was a period in 2004 where they would have Impact and a weekly PPV in the same week.

From Wiki - and the company put on its first show on June 19, 2002. This night, however, in a dark match just before they went on the air, a 450lb wrestler named Cheex hit the ropes with so much force that one of them broke. The estimated repair time was 30–60 minutes,which they did not have because the schedule called for them to go live in a few minutes, whether the ring was ready or not. Backstage, the producers shuffled the schedule so that some non-wrestling segments went first to give the ring crew some more time, but they did not have many of them. The ring crew fixed the rope with the help of Ron and Don Harris, and everyone went live hoping for the best.
