TNA/Impact Wrestling: Through the Years

The show starts with a 10-bell salute for Curt Hennig, who had passed away two days prior. We get some footage from after the show went off the air last week, where Jarrett got tied to the ropes and whipped by SEX, Russo calling it New York style. Some nasty welts on his back. Welcomed to the show by West alone, as Tenay is in the ring with mic in hand to make an announcement. Bullet Bob has taken a leave of absence, citing the situation as too personal, so NWA went on a search and succeeded in finding a suitable replacement, a high-ranking executive with WCW, with WWF, known most fondly as the brains behind the Four Horsemen, JJ Dillon. Dillon comes out, but so does Russo and the Harris Twins immediately. Russo is here to give an update on his friend Jarrett, and can't believe that the piece of shit Dillon has the audacity to enter the Asylum and face him. He says Dillon attempted to get him fired from WCW, which gets a pop from the crowd. Russo says he was the biggest fan of the ...

  Welcomed to the show as always by Tenay and West. Tonight, Siaki defends against Amazing Red, and a Four Corners Match between Flair, Sanders, Truth and Lynn. Plus, Triple X defends against the New Church. First though, Zbyszko is in the ring with the NWA Title, stolen last week by Styles. He says he did something good for himself at the expense of Styles last week, getting himself back in the limelight, played human chess that he loves so much. But he's going to do something for Styles, and hoped he instilled in him that mature wisdom is better than a youthful sword. He says Styles and Jarrett have both impressed him, says AJ always holds his own with Jarrett, and the only mark against him is not beating Zbyszko twice in 10 minutes, but admits it was a stacked deck. He declares by the power and responsibility of being a living legend, he demands Jarrett give AJ a title shot. Out comes Jarrett and says the old adage and of possession and the law is crap, Larry and Styles both kno...

Recap of Triple X winning the tag titles last week. Welcomed to the show by Tenay before the lights go out, and Raven is seen with title around his waist and mic in hand somewhere in the bleachers. He says possession is 9/10 of the law, and he has the greatest prize the sport has to offer around his waist, a prize men of honor and distinction like Jack Briscoe, Harley Race and Dory Funk have held, but times have changed. He says there's a revolution and Jarrett doesn't seem to get it, so he took it upon himself to right this egregious wrong, and while some call him mad, twisted, tortured, an evil genius, and insane, but they're not one to judge, they're degenerates, and when the light of his brilliance shines upon them, they scatter like cockroaches. He says he'll do what he must to show Jarrett the error of his ways, he'll urinate in his bone marrow, or rip off his neck and use it as a latrine. He says you remember more the things you survive more than the thi...
