Jarrett tells AJ that he is walking in the champion and walking out the champion. He then leaves to go look for Ortiz's locker room.

[James Steele]

Dude, I just wanna know if Jarrett is going to put the final nail in the coffin for TNA tonight. I promise you this. If Jarrett retains tonight, TNA will be dead by the end of year.

Oh, and I would rather you just post who wins and how (pinfall after ??? move, etc.)

[SammyG]

Petey Williams gets on the mic saying that Team Canada is back on track and will once again establish their domination in TNA. D'Amore said Team Canada would dominate the 20 Superstar Guantlet for the Gold later tonight. Booby Roode said Team Canada are like a pack of wolves...they attack as a pack and dominate as a pack. Roode said it is the biased American officials in TNA that made him the #1 entrant into the Guantlet tonight. Taylor shows Roode who the #2 entrant is for the Guantlet. They laugh at who it is.

- Backstage, Terry Taylor is with Raven and reminds him that Jeff Hardy isn't here and that Sean Waltman would replace him. Raven calls Hardy a coward for not showing up tonight. He refers to Waltman as "X-Pac", saying he wasn't a worthy replacement. Raven said he just saw what Dusty Rhodes said about Ortiz being a big star. He said he is a bigger star than Ortiz and mocks Team Canada's notion of domination. Raven said he would hurt "X-Pac" tonight because he is a human cancer

---> Up next is the Raven House of Fun Match between Raven and Sean Waltman who will be replacing Jeff Hardy.

[James Steele]

Why is Hardy not wrestling?

[SammyG]

Raven's House of Fun Match
Raven vs. Sean Waltman
The match starts with Waltman coming out to the ring from the "heel" ramp to catch Raven off guard. Waltman takes out Raven with a trash can and Raven falls to the outside.

When Waltman gets up, Raven uses both trash can lids to nail Waltman in the head at the same time. Raven props a trash can in the corner, tries to irish whip Waltman, but Waltman counters and irish whips Raven into it instead. Raven then applies an ankle lock and Waltman kicks out of it quickly. Raven kicks Waltman on the head and grabs a steel chair. Raven sets it up, sends Waltman into the ropes, Waltman dodges the drop toe hold attempt and throws the chair into Raven.

[The Answer]

One hell of a Canadian destroyer by Petey Williams. I missed some of it but Abyss and Killings were the last two and Abyss beat Killings with a bossman slam. Road Dogg aka B.J james came in 19th but I don't know what happened between him and Billy Gunn aka The Outlaw. Just know their were alot of eliminations when James came in including three members of Team Canada.

[The Answer]

Tito Ortiz is laying down the law. The guitar is broken by A.J styles it is out of play.

[Innovator]

YES! AJ STYLES NEW CHAMPION!

[The Answer]

Jarrett hits the Styles Clash but Styles kicks out!!!!!. Styles hits the Stroke but Jarrett kicks out. Monty Brown comes in and hits the pounce on Jarett by accident. Ortiz sends Brown to the back and another ref comes into the ring to make the pin but Tito grabs his leg and drags the ref out of the ring. Tito "That's my job". The bout continues and Jarrett shoves Ortiz. Ortiz nails Jarrett with a right hand that drops him Mike tyson/HBK style. Styles to the top for the Spyro Tap and he hits it 1...2....3...

New NWA Champ A.J fuckin Styles

[Loose Cannon]

errrrrrr, they made it a cluster fuck, fluke win for Styles. He's held the dam Title for how long? WHERE'S THE CLEAN PIN?

[The Answer]

No rep from anyone? :nono:

[V]

clean pin or not, about fucking time

[M. Banana]

HOLY FUCKING JESUS

MARK OUT MARK OUT MARK OUT

[M. Banana]

Nah, not really.

Reps.

[SammyG]

WHOOOHOO

[SammyG]

Abyss vs Styles for the belt next ppv

[KayfabeMan]

Whoop. De. Doo.

[The CyNick]

very stupid finish

[Innovator]

very stupid finish
agreed, but the title is off Jarrett

[James Steele]

Damn, the easiest thing in the world to do (put somebody over) just got fucked up by TNA. I guess the World Title must be determined in chaos in their eyes.

[SammyG]

How many months till jarrett gets the belt back

[The One]

How many months till jarrett gets the belt back

Tenay: This just in...Jarrett has a rematch clause in his contract...so in one week on IMPACT...:shifty:

[Ruien]

Jarett will win it back clean.

[The Answer]

Where the hell was Jeff Hardy BTW? The Raven/Waltman match was quite good but the fans that paid for the event got screwed.

[Nowhere Man]

New NCW Champ A.J fuckin Styles

Did anyone else notice that?

[The One]

I notice that too...

ANYWAY...I to am desperatly looking for answers to the "Where is Jeff?" question. They did a great job of continuing the fued over from nothing to something interesting over the past 2 months, and I am looking for answers. Good job to Sean though in really stepping up a level.

And for that matter where was BG?

And I am guessing that Monty will be signing back with TNA based on the fact that he pinned DDP...:shifty:

[Innovator]

Jeff apparently missed his flight from Charlotte, but they could have made an announcement more than 2 minutes before the show started

[The One]

Not really...I mean if he missed his fight I imagine they only knew MAX 5 hours before show start...what are they gonna do, post it all over the internet that Jeff won't be in the match, by that point you just roll with the punches...

Any news on BG missing?

[SammyG]

First Nash is unable to compete at lockdown, now hardy and james dont show up. wtf

[Dave Youell]

So ho was the show overall then?

[Impact!]

it sounds like it was quite a decent ppv overall, could be a sign of things to come.

only downsides i've seen are

1) K nash wasn't there (depending on which way you look at it)

2) BG James not there

3) Hardy not there

4) AJ not winning title cleanly

5) No machoman randy savage :shifty: what

[HankScorpio]

5) No machoman randy savage :shifty: what

he was there, The Lone Drinker was out back calling him a "pussy" in an interview. The segment was cut.

[The Answer]

Did anyone else notice that?

LOL Ya I must have c-fed fever wrote NCW instead of NWA.

[The Answer]

First Nash is unable to compete at lockdown, now hardy and james dont show up. wtf

James did show up .He was in the battle royale

[Loose Cannon]

IT'S TNA, not NWA

Come on

[The Answer]

IT'S TNA, not NWA

Come on

It's the NWA world title though :shifty:

[Shaggy]

^-LOL

I dont know much of the results from it yet because I just now finally got back to the net world.

But ive seen the Styles match already and very freakin predictable. Why do they always have to have the special ref do something besides ref. I knew from the moment they announced Ortiz as the ref that either He would hit Styles giving Jarrett the win or that he would Hit Jarrett giving Styles the win.

From what Ive heard it was a pretty nice ppv...hopefully I can find all the other matches

[6to1]

trips without the belt and off and jerret without his belt has hell froze over.

[The CyNick]

agreed, but the title is off Jarrett

Its probably better off on Jarrett if thats how they are going to book Styles.

They made Ortiz the star of the match, if it wasn't for Ortiz, Styles doesn't get the title.

Thats not the way to make a new star.

If they want Ortiz to be the big star, they should have just kept the title on Jarrett and built up to Ortiz taking the belt from him, where they could have put Ortiz over strong.

This makes Styles look like a mid card fluke champ who got a cheap win.

Thats not how you make a star.

[SuperSlim]

I was just thinkin about Ortiz there and how tough and stuff he was supposed to be.

I was watchin some channel like Thursday with Ortiz on it and he got knocked out in the second round. :lol:

so it'slike a guy that just got knocked out a few days ago in the first round of some thing like 30+ seconds in the second round helped Styles win the title? that's not good.

[Dave Youell]

Or maybe this whole thing was done to get Jarrett away from the belt and feud with Ortiz

So look for Aj to take on Monty Brown and probably Abyss again soon

[Londoner]

I know i'm abit late on this, but this is the first time ive bothered to check this thread, and i ain't surprised by what i've read. AJ not winning the belt cleanly, WHAT A SURPRISE. I imagine this is just to keep JJ looking better than the rest. And once again a PPV is ruined by his backstage power,one day i hope wrestling businesses learn from the mistakes of TNA and WWE, and learn not to let one wrestler have so much control, much easier said than done yes, but surely this is not the way to go.

[Kane Knight]

Its probably better off on Jarrett if thats how they are going to book Styles.

They made Ortiz the star of the match, if it wasn't for Ortiz, Styles doesn't get the title.
