TNA/Impact Wrestling: Through the Years

No opening package as we go right to the Asylum, welcomed by Tenay and West. On tap for tonight, Raven faces Sandman in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match, plus Amazing Red challenges Kid Kash for the X Division Title, and an exclusive, shocking interview with Vince Russo. Speaking of Raven, he's on his perch with a mic. He quotes Pete Townsend, saying no one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned. He says Sandman hopes to withstand the Raven juggernaut, but calls it foolhardy at best, and suicide at worst. He says his House of Fun will be Sandman's undoing, his Hiroshima. He says he himself is bathed in sanity and light, clothed in madness and shadows, dealing woe and sorrow to those foolish enough to oppose him. He proclaims that he has a destiny to be NWA Champion, and not Sandman, or Styles or Jarrett can hold back the hands of fate. He says life is a tapestry weaved by the gods. He those singled out for their divine birthright have two choices: Ei...

We get a recap of last week's main event to start, where Styles challenged Jarrett for the NWA Title in a losing effort, after two ref bumps brass knuckles, interference from the Harris Twins, a random appearance by Vader and help from Dusty, interference by Siaki, and AJ being unhappy for all the help and laying out Siaki in the process. So an overbooked mess. After which Russo was seen preparing to enter the Jarrett home to have a talk, and that's how the show went off the air. On tap tonight, Dusty teams with Vader to face the Harris Twins, and that's it so far. NWA X Division Championship: Jason Cross vs Kid Kash (c) (w/ Trinity) Pre-Match : Apparently Cross is returning from a broken hand suffered in a match with David Young. Quick exchange of chain wrestling to start the match and some quick pin attempts, ending in a standoff. Another exchange, and Kash gets caught with a superkick, slow to cover for two. Kash sent off the ropes, each block a hip toss until Kash is se...

Recap of Raven's time in TNA since arriving a month ago, with stealing the NWA Title, his issues with Styles and Jarrett, and his renewed rivalry with Sandman. Add the Living Legend to the mix as AJ's new mentor who got him a shot at the title, and Russo assembling an army to wreak havoc, not to mention we now have JJ Dillon as the authority figure. On the show tonight, Styles finally gets his shot at Jarrett and the NWA Title. Goldy is waiting outside in the rain for Styles' arrival, and so he does, however accompanied by Russo.  Tag Team #1 Contender's Tournament Finals: The Harris Twins vs America's Most Wanted Chris Harris starts off with one of the Twins, hammering in the corner until the Twin takes control with hammering of his own. Chris sent off the ropes, ducks a clothesline, Lou Thesz Press and mounted rights and lefts. Clothesline in the corner by Chris and more mounted rights until he's shoved to the mat, then low bridged the Twin to the floor. Storm...
