Hey guys! I just downloaded EWR again so I figured I would start posting the results for your entertainment. I am using TNA (I could not find a Stat Update that works so I am missing a lot of current TNA guys, so I just fired them. Bastards don't wanna show up for work.)

Also, all TNAWrestling.com updates and dates are going to be dated in the Gameworld time.

Anyway, I am starting at March 2005 and have made huge changes to TNA.

Here are the stats of the TNA 2005: The Revolution (Catchy Title):

TNA Owner Jerry Jarrett is proud to announce the hiring of a new "President Of Operations" to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Already after his first few days in TNA, President James Watson has introduced several major changes to TNA. TNA has bought Memphis Championship Wrestling and named it as the official TNA Development Territory, renovated TNA's Gut Check Wrestling School, and signed all wrestlers, excluding development deals, to written contracts. Also, after a meeting with the Director of Authority Dusty Rhodes, 2 new titles have been introduced to TNA and several new superstars, including President Watson's cousin, the talented James Steele. Also, in a shocking turn of events, after meeting with AJ Styles, AJ Styles vacated the X-Division Championship! While President Watson vows to stay in the office, he vowed that Dusty Rhodes will be his mouthpiece during what President Watson coined as, "A revolution in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and Professional wrestling in general!"

www.TNAWrestling.com Updates: Thursday, March 3, 2005

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is proud to announce the acquisition of 2 recent cuts from World Wrestling Entertainment. TNA would like to welcome Rob Conway and Paul London to the TNA roster and we all expect great things from them.

Total Nonstop Action is also proud to announce that UPN has shown interest in TNA programming. We sent them a film showing the reasons why TNA equals Ratings, and we should know more by the end of the month!

[James Steele]

is proud to present LIVE from Orlando,Florida in the IMPACT! ZONE....



* “Ride Of Your Life” By Neurotica begins to play as a highlight video of TNA action from the very beginning on weekly PPVs all the way to the brutal match at Against All Odds a mere weeks ago*

*The logo shatters as the arena is bombarded with pyro*

*The camera then goes to Mike Tenay and new IMPACT! Co-Announce Joey Styles!*

Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the IMPACT! zone right here on Fox Sports Net. Today, you will see many changes to TNA and the first of these is my new co-announcer... Joey Styles!

Joey Styles: Hello everybody and welome to IMPACT! It has been a crazy few days in TNA, and we have been informed that Director Of Authority Dusty Rhodes is about to come out and announce many of these changes.

*Dusty Rhode's music begins to play as Dusty Rhodes comes out of the IMPACTunnel.*

Dusty Rhodes: I am going to get straight down to business today. There is a new President of Operations in TNA and he has made quite an impact if you will. As I'm sure you have heard, AJ Styles is no longer the X Division champion. He vacated the X-Title after a meeting with President Watson. I soon found out why…

Tonight, in that 6-sided ring we will see for the first time ever… a Ten-Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal for the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Jeff Jarrett, I suggest you prepare to face these 9 men! Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire, Raven, Jerry Lynn, AJ Styles, James Steele, Ken Shamrock, Christopher Daniels, and finally Dustin Rhodes!

Also, President Watson as demanded that we bring a little bit more gold to TNA. So there are 2 new titles in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling! Now, that brings about a question. How will we decide three vacated titles? Well, Today will mark the beginning of the 16 day countdown until Destination X live on pay-per-view. So, in 16 days we will have 3 tournaments. One will be an 8-man tournament for the X Division title. One will be a 16-man tournament for the new NWA North American Title. And the other one will be a “Destination X Elimination Challenge”.

These are the brackets for the X Title tournament…

*The X-Title Brackets appear on the TNATron*



Now, Every TNA show will have a tournament match of some kind! Therefore, whenever you watch IMPACT or Xplosion, you will be updated on the brackets. Now here are the North American and Television Championship brackets:





These tournament matches will be held at every event TNA has. Whether it is here on IMPACT! , on Xplosion, or at our non-televised events. Thank you all for your time, now lets get on to what TNA is all about baby. Lets get down to some total nonstop action!

COMMERICAL BREAK


*TNA comes back on and we see AJ Styles backstage with Scott Hudson.*

Scott: I am here with former X Champion AJ Styles. I’ll get straight to the point AJ, why did you vacate the X title?

AJ Styles: Simple Scott, I wanted in this 10-Man Battle Royal for the World title. The X-Title is amazing. I love it, but the World Title says you are the best of both worlds. That title means I can fly, wrestling, fight, and entertain like nobody else. I vacated it because He wanted a X-Title match tonight. I did not want 2 matches because I want to make sure that I am ready to go to that next level as I have done before. It isn’t a matter of fear as much as it is common sense.

You see, I woke up this morning and I felt it. I felt that feeling in the air that something awesome is going to happen. That awesome thing is I, AJ Styles, become yet again THE NWA TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. And Scott, that is just simply phenomenal.

Ok, I cranked this up for the first time in forever, RaveX just released their latest update, so I thought....lets try a WWE game, and book the ECW PPV.

Obviously your never gonna get everyone you want. Raven's off being the head booker for some promotion, so I couldn't get him, and the same with The Sandman, and some people didn't sign contracts quick enough to be on the PPV, but this is the lineup for what will be a 4 hour extravaganza. I tried to get matches that made sense, but in the end it was just a case of shoving people on at the last minute. Also, I couldn't be arsed to turn people who were already in the WWE, as it would screw up future plans. I had wanted to do a Dudleyz vs F.B.I match, but then I'd have to turn about 4 people, which I didn't want to do. So, here's the card, I'll explain them all after.

ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: ROB VAN DAM VS RHINO

ECW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES: DUDLEYZ VS DORING & ROADKILL

CACTUS JACK AND TERRY FUNK VS AL SNOW AND SPIKE DUDLEY

TECHNICAL WRESTLING TAG MATCH: CHRIS BENOIT AND CHRIS JERICHO VS EDDIE GUERRERO AND DEAN MALENKO

BARBED WIRE TABLE MATCH - MASATO TANAKA VS MIKE AWESOME

BRA AND PANTIES CATFIGHT! - MISS CONGENIALITY VS DAWN MARIE

ULTIMATE GRUDGE MATCH - SABU VS TAZ

IMPACT PLAYERS FACE OFF - LANCE STORM VS JUSTIN CREDIBLE

BWO VS FBI - STEVIE RICHARDS AND THE BLUE MEANIE VS BIG VITO AND TONY MAMALUKE

SCAFFOLD MATCH - TOMMY DREAMER VS BRIAN LEE

INTERNATIONAL 4 WAY DANCE - YOSHIHIRO TAJIRI VS LITTLE GUIDO VS KID KASH VS PSYCHOSIS

FLAMING TABLES MATCH - BALLS MAHONEY VS CW ANDERSON

LUCHA LIBRE EXHIBITION MATCH - REY MYSTERIO VS SUPER CRAZY

CHILLY WILLY VS NOVA

Notable exceptions already on the WWE roster are Johnny Swinger and Joey Matthews. They didn't make it because Simon Diamond and Christian York didn't sign in time, so I didn't really have anything for them

Main Event I just felt made sense, the last ECW Champion vs the man who never quite got there for the ECW Title.

Same with the Tag Titles, the greatest tag team ever vs the final tag team Champions, which also made sense.

I wanted Foley and Funk to team, because of their physical conditions, and legacy. I need to pair Al Snow with someone so Foley made sense, and Spike was always willing to take big bumps, so this is just gonna be a big spot fest. I might add a stipulation, I don't know.

I was tempted to do 2 seperate singles matches (Benoit vs Guerrero, Jericho vs Malenko) but decided that as Malenko won't be 100% physically, I should try and make this as good a match as possible with all 4.

Barbed Wire tables was because I needed a Barbed Wire match on the card somewhere (its expected of people who didn't watch ECW all the much, thinking it was Barbed Wire and Fire etc....) Tanaka and Awesome had a long fued in both ECW and FMW, so it made sense.

Catfight, Lita and Dawn Marie were the only 2 ex-ECW women I had on the roster, so it made sense. I added the Bra and Panties because the match will REALLY suck anyway, it might as well have some T and A

Sabu and Taz, old fued, 'nuff said.

Storm vs Credible came about because I didn't have time to turn Storm Heel. I could've had Credible as a face, but basically I'm using this PPV as a vehicle to see if I want to sign anyone not on a written WWE contract, so I thought if the old Impact Players faced off, I could see how good Credible is.

BWO vs FBI, needs no explanation

Scaffold Match, classic match between Dreamer and Lee. Was hoping the Stipulation would take away from the fact the match will suck. I would've had Dreamer vs Raven if I'd signed Raven, but this'll have to do.

International 4 Way, one of my favourite ECW matches was an International 4 Way between Mikey Whipwreck, Tajiri, Guido and Psychosis, since I couldn't sign Mikey I used Kid Kash instead

Flaming Tables, needed a fire match, and Balls used to take the bumps. CW needed a match, and Corino wouldn't sign, so Balls vs CW it is

Rey vs Super Crazy will just be a great lucha match. I had nothing else for them so hey....put them together!

Chilly Willy vs Nova....I needed Nova on the card, Chilly Willy was the last face I had on the ECW roster, so I matched them up

[Evil Vito]

Holy crap, completely forgot about this.

I've been busy with school so I haven't even touched the game since the last time I posted here, meaning I'm still on February 1st, 2026.

I've pretty much lost track of my storylines.

[Disturbed316]

Same here, and I had to reformat yesterday, so I need to dig out my back up copy from where ever it is.

[Cactus Sid]

Can't do my ECW card because for some stupid reason RVD can't wrestle

[loopydate]

I started playing an EWR game a while back as World Xtreme Wrestling, with the intention of working my way up to WWE (just to see how the company would change by the time I got there). I worked at WXW for a while, then I did one show for NJUSA, then a couple for CMLL. I was at ROH for a couple of months, then went to TNA. And the week that XPlosion's contract was running out, I got the call from WWE.

So, now I'm on the SmackDown before WrestleMania, and I'm doing the entire card as RAW vs. SmackDown.

Chris Benoit (World Champion) vs. Kurt Angle (WWE Champion)
Rob Van Dam (United States Champion) vs. Triple H (Intercontinental Champion)
Edge & Christian (World Tag Champions) vs. Dudley Boyz (WWE Tag Champions)
Bill Goldberg vs. The Undertaker
Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero
Shawn Michaels vs. John Bradshaw Layfield
Rey Mysterio (Cruiserweight Champion) vs. Ric Flair (who is retiring)
Lita (Women's Champion), Stacy, Molly, & Trish vs. Stephanie, Torrie, Jackie, and Dawn Marie

When I started as WWE, I demoted everyone to OVW (except UT, HHH, and HBK... Damn creative control), and then called up all the guys that Danny Davis recommended. So, my rosters are small, but it's full of the top guys.

I bought out a couple of indy feds, so after WrestleMania, when I re-align the rosters, I'm going to be debuting a TON of new talent including:

AJ Styles, Jamie Noble, Simon Diamond, Spanky, and Michael Modest who will have to work with open contracts for a while, since they have Japanese touring commitments.

Hopefully Mania goes off well. I've really been trying to hype these matches, so I think it will. Plus I'm only using main eventers (except for the tag and women's matches).

[loopydate]

Yes, I'm bumping another old video game forum thread, but I have an EWR question.

I'm working on a c-fed scenario right now creating all of the guys in that forum from scratch. I just went to test what I hope is the final roster for one of the feds, but a ton of guys are missing.

Does anybody know why this is?

[Evil Vito]

^ Not sure.....even though you've probably figured it out 2+ months later

Anyways, it's pretty sad how the top post on the last page of this thread was from February

There were some good stories going on, just wondering if anybody even plays these sims anymore

I finally did February and No Way Out 2026 (after forgetting about the game since May)

here's the results as if anybody cared:

Heat Results: M-A-G promoted the PPV (which was the first PPV in which he was comissioner)

No Way Out Results
-Trinity def. Brooke
-David E. and Matt Hardy def. The Super Assassins to retain the World Tag Team Titles...The Super Assassins unmashed to reveal The Villanos and then ran off
-Fortune def. Apocalypse by cheating
-Oracle def. Nicole Durgan to win the Women's Title
-Jason Cross overcame the odds and def. Sean Criss to become the #1 Contender to the WWE Title at WrestleMania
-Alex Michaels def. Brian York in a Steel Cage to retain the IC Title
-AJ Styles and Jason Collins def. Eugene and Garrett
-Ian Moore def. Goldberg to retain the WWE Title

Yeah. Turns out the game doesn't recognize anyone younger than 18.

We could be using this thread for SVR2006's GM Mode, y'know.

[Cactus Sid]

Downloaded the demo of TEW 2005 and took control of TNA

Its a pretty good game, loadsa new stuff, and I managed to get an A* match between Christian Cage and Jeff Jarrett......Christian winning the NWA Heavyweight Title

[loopydate]

I've been playing more EWR lately (playing as NWA-TNA, as well as testing out my c-fed scenario). Just cut a bunch of people from the TNA roster, 'cause we were losing money. Cut a few too many, so I signed CM Punk (who had been released by WWE). Going to set up a Punk/Matt Bentley feud over Traci.

Champs are the same in my season, except Samoa Joe beat AJ Styles (who is in rehab for cocaine ) for the X Title. I'm trying to set up an AMW/Team 3D feud, but Devon has been out with an injury. I reunited BG and Kip, and I'm sort of leaning toward adding Waltman to the Kru, then having the former DXers turn heel on K-Dawg and Truth. Haven't decided yet.

Eight days away from Final Resolution 2006, with the card:

World Title: Jeff Jarrett vs. Christian Cage vs. Kevin Nash

X Title: Samoa Joe vs. Chris Sabin vs. Christopher Daniels (Sabin and Daniels were supposed to be facing AJ in a #1 contender match and it was supposed to be Joe vs. Jeff Hardy, but with AJ's problems, I put Jeff in a match against Abyss and turned the title match into a triple thread)

Tag Titles: America's Most Wanted vs. The James Gang (BG & Kip)

Hardcore Tag Team Triple Threat: Rhino and Sabu vs. Jerry Lynn and Brother Ray vs. Raven and Simon Diamond

Ron Killings vs. Monty Brown

CM Punk (making his TNA debut after weeks of "Mystery Stalker" stuff) vs. Matt Bentley

[Evil Vito]

LOL Styles in rehab for cocaine

Good card Loopy

[Cactus Sid]

Just downloaded an update and started a TNA game. I decided to vacate all the titles because AMW and Jarrett wouldn't sign written contracts, and I was scared the WWE would nab them from me, so they became vacant and I added the NWA North American title so that there's a title for those not in the NWA Title scene or if they aren't in the X-Division.

Hacked away at the roster getting rid of the crap (I don't want half my roster having guys who can only do high flying matches) and brought in a shitload of talent.

Current roster:

Main Eventers:
Cactus Jack
Christian Cage
Raven (Faces)
Jeff Jarrett
Bill Goldberg
Sting (Heels)

Upper Midcarders:
AJ Styles
Brother Devon
Brother Ray
Diamond Dallas Page
Jeff Hardy
Jerry Lynn
Konnan
Ron Killings
Sabu (Faces)

Brock Lesnar
Chris Harris
Christopher Daniels
D'Lo Brown
Hassan
Ken Shamrock
Rhino
The Sandman (Heels)

Midcarders:

BG James
Chris Sabin
Elix Skipper
Ultimo Dragon (Faces)

Abyss
James Storm
Monty Brown
Petey Williams
Samoa Joe

Lower Midcarders:

Bryan Danielson (Face)

Frankie Kazarian
Matt Bentley (Heels)

TNA Knockouts:

Jackie Gayda (Face)

Dawn Marie (Heel)

Managers:
James Mitchell
Scott D'Amore (Heels)

TNA Authority:
Lionheart Chris Jericho (Heel)

I've also got a shitload of talent in the development fed, including a load of the talent which was there in the first place such as Traci and Gail Kim, The Naturals, Alex Shelley and some of Team Canada

[loopydate]

I did the PPV last night, and it didn't "click." All of the matches had high Quality ratings, and the crowd reaction was good, but all of the overall ratings were really low and I wound up with a 68% overall. I hate when that happens. I spent a lot of time building up those matches.

Anyway, quick results:

Christian Cage won the World Title triple threat match, pinning Kevin Nash after interference from Monty Brown.

Christopher Daniels won the X Division triple threat match.

America's Most Wanted successfully defended the Tag Team Titles.

Forgot there were no 2-2-2 hardcore matches, so I made it a ladder match. Rhino and Sabu won.

Monty Brown pinned Ron Killings.

CM Punk pinned Matt Bentley.

Alex Shelley won an elimination match against Roderick Strong, Sonjay Dutt, and Austin Aries to earn a shot at the X Division Title.

Abyss pinned Jeff Hardy.

Konnan and Sean Waltman survived a 10-man Survivor Series-style tag team match against Team Canada. Their partners were Lance Hoyt, Shark Boy, and someone else who I can't remember offhand.

Against All Odds Card (so far)
World Title: Christian Cage (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett
Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (c) vs. Team 3D
X Division Title: Christopher Daniels (c) vs. Alex Shelley
Kevin Nash vs. Monty Brown

I'm still several weeks away from that show, so the rest of the card will fill in between now and then. Devon returns from his arm injury on February 1, so I can finally have the AMW/3D match. If AJ's back from rehab in time, I'll have him face Samoa Joe.

Probably something else between Bentley and Punk, since I'm building up to Traci turning on Bentley and joining Punk. But that won't happen for a while yet. Maybe something like Bentley and Sabin against Punk and Joe (if AJ doesn't come back). Something with 3LK, too. Maybe AAO is when I'll have BG and Kip turn on Killings and Konnan with help from Waltman.

[Sting Fan]

I love EWR, I finnally booked Abyss to win the X Division title last night after an eight month feud with Petey Williams.

It was at the Victory Road PPV and it headlined the show ahead of Sting vs. Jarret vs. Monty Brown vs. Sandman (C) for the World belt.

Got a pretty good match rating for both matches too.

[loopydate]

I got a 99% match rating for Rhino vs. Raven, Last Man Standing at Against All Odds. Tied for my best show to date. Christian and Jarrett had a pretty good Cage Match, too.

Just had Kip & BG turn on Killings & Konnan, and the angle went over with a resounding thud. Now I'm debating whether I even want to bother turning Waltman to joing them or not, since these guys are getting zero reaction.

I released Jackie Gayda, since I didn't have anything for her, and someone else who escapes me at the moment and signed Super Dragon and Paul Burchill. Basically a cost-cutting measure, as I got SD and Paul really cheap. I'm losing money, so every little bit helps. I have a feeling that if don't turn a profit in March, I'm history. On the plus side, the Destination X card is coming together well so far.

World Title: Christian Cage (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Rhino vs. Raven

Basically a way to continue both feuds while getting Rhino and Raven the main-event time they've lost during their individual feud. After Rhino won Last Man Standing, he offered Raven a handshake, but Raven spat on him.

X Division Title: Christopher Daniels (c) vs. Jerry Lynn

Lynn beat Jeff Hardy @ Against All Odds to earn the shot after they'd fought to draws the previous two weeks.

Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted vs. Team 3D

AMW defended the titles in a ladder match at AAO after they hit a double superplex on Brother Ray. Devon just returned from an injury and Ray took a sick bump. AMW's going in for the kill.

Ladder Match: Jeff Hardy & Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams & Primetime vs. Roderick Strong & Alex Shelley

Couldn't call the show "Destination X" without some sort of X Division clusterfuck. The winning team is going to get a triple threat match with the winner of Daniels/Lynn at the next PPV.

Ron Killings & Konnan vs. The James Gang (Sean Waltman as special ref)

The original plan was to turn Waltman during the match, but after the CLUNK from BG & Kip turning, I'm not so sure. Guess we'll see if the crowd warms up to it in the coming weeks.

Matt Bentley & Traci vs. CM Punk & Gail Kim

The Impact prior to AAO, Punk threatened Traci, but Bentley made the save. Over the next few weeks, the Bentley/Traci relationship will deepen until Bentley finally proposes. During the tag match, though, Punk & Gail will win because of miscommunication between Matt & Traci, which will start building to Traci turning on Matt to join Punk somewhere down the line.

Still got a few more slots to fill. Hopefully I'll have AJ back from rehab by then, but I'll plan the show without him for now. Don't have anything with Nash yet, so I should probably set up something for him. Ditto Sabu and Abyss.

[loopydate]

Two months ago, I was on the verge of being fired. I was losing money, and public image was dropping. So, I started cutting costs. So long, Kevin Nash and your $200,00+ per appearance fee. Bye-bye BG & Kip James. Your heel turns didn't interest anybody, and you were just too expensive. I brought in a bunch of cheap indy workers to fill in the empty roster spots that Sophie worried made me look weak. I signed as many written contracts as I could, with the intention that - if I lasted long enough - I'd stuff all the new guys I've never heard of into a developmental territory that I'll be able to afford with the money I'm saving by cutting costs.

Since then, public image is back up over 80, and I've made money for two consecutive months. Plus, I managed to turn Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley into legitimate main eventers. The Cage/Jarrett feud is doing incredibly well. And I just ended the Rhino/Raven feud with an I Quit match at Hard Justice. Both guys are hugely over now and have moved on to other feuds.

The next PPV is Slammiversary, so I'm going to have all eight of my current feuds result in matches at the PPV. A couple of the feuds will end that night. Really trying to give it a "big show" feel.

Slammiversary Card

World Title Ladder Match: Christian Cage (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett. The feud has lasted for more than six months and will finally end with Christian's trademark match.

Tag Team Title Match: Team 3D (c) vs. America's Most Wanted. This feud has also lasted since December '05 and will end one way or the other.

X Division Title Match: Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley (c). Shelley took the gold from Christopher Daniels at Lockdown, and now these two newly-minted main eventers will battle for the fastest-growing title in wrestling.

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. After AJ's recent personal problems, this feud was put on hold. Japanese commitments prevented a Hard Justice match. Finally, the rivals will face off again at Slammiversary.

Matt Bentley vs. CM Punk. After Traci betrayed Bentley, siding with Punk at Destination X, this feud has only intensified.

Christopher Daniels vs. Raven. After winning his feud with Rhino, Raven is looking to get back into the World Title picture. First, he has to go through the Fallen Angel.

Rhino vs. Sabu. Sabu recently turned his back on the fans by siding with James Mitchell and Abyss, and has entered into a feud with Rhino. Could this launch Sabu into the main event?

Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss. This will probably end up being a gimmick match of some kind, but I haven't figured out what yet.

The pre-show might be a Ron Killings/Sean Waltman match, or it might just be a promo for the World Title match. Haven't decided that yet, either. Got two weeks to decide.

So, anyway, don't know that anyone cares, but that's what I've got going on atm.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Someone post me a link to the new EW. Since I started this topic on the old board I figured I'd give it a try again and try purchasing EWR.

[Evil Vito]

Good stuff Loopy.

I too also make sure to fire Kevin Nash immediately (unless he agrees to be a manager or authority figure for a lesser contract.....which is almost never) I hate to waste his charisma, but he's too expensive and never puts over anyone good

The show got an 85% overall rating, which is my best TNA show yet.

Extreme Mail
Team 3D: The last feud was well booked, and has really helped us both. Thanks!
Jeff Jarrett: That last feud rocked, it has helped my career a lot!

We got a 0.71 buy rate for 'Slammiversary'!
The attendance was 8571 people.
We made $1775000 from pay-per-view revenue.
We made $342840 from ticket sales.

That went way better than I expected. I was concerned about the show not clicking after putting in so much work, but everything went off really well. Now I need to find stuff for all the guys whose feuds just ended to do, but I'll think of something. Probably going to have Jarrett vs. Daniels for the title at No Surrender. Possibly Team 3D vs. Abyss & Sabu. Beyond that, no clue. I have seven weeks to come up with a card.

[The Mackem]

Played on the latest TEW demo a few times, seems ok but I don't think I will buy it.

[Xero]

Just started a new TNA game (as a Cutting Edge fed) with TEW2005...

Right now I've vacated the world title and am hoping that Jarrett doesn't leave, at least until the end of the tourney where he'll lose to Raven in a gimmick match that I haven't decided on yet.

Going to put the X Division championship up at Bound for Glory in a 25 minute (at least) 10 man battle royal. Pin/Submission only.

I've also got Christian feuding with Monty Brown and actually got an A match with them. I gave Christian "The Peep's Cage" for his talk show.

I'm going to do a 3 way Tag feud soon with Team 3-D, AMW, and another team which I'll sign and bring in.

[Xero]

LOL, holy shit Jarrett is an asshole.

I had Bound for Glory just now (the night after losing my Spike TV show) and had a fair show with a battle royal and a TLC match and a few other matches, including Daniels going over AJ for the title (after winning the battle royal). But Jarrett is an asshole and screwed the end of the tourney storyline by refusing to job to Raven...

So, I had to improvise...

First, I had a match where Raven and Jarrett drew. Next, I had Bret come out and announce that he's making a triple threat... Raven, Jarrett, and the debuting Sting. (I was going to start Raven/Sting at the end of the PPV anyway,), Jarrett still refused to lose, so then I had Bret just take Jarrett out of the match after he won via count out and Raven beat Sting.

I'm never using Jarrett again. I'm going to fire his ass if I can, and if not I'll just... Not use him, since he has creative control.

[loopydate]

I have two more newly-minted main eventers. AJ Styles and Sean Waltman bring my main-event total to nine people. That's kinda nuts for TNA.

AJ Styles
Alex Shelley
Chris Sabin
Christian Cage
Christopher Daniels
Jeff Jarrett
Raven
Rhino
Sean Waltman

Since I have so damned much time until the next PPV (SEVEN weeks!), I started a 16-man double-elimination tournament to decide who would face Jarrett for the title. The plan right now is for Christopher Daniels to win the tournament, beating his rival Raven in the finals (after Raven knocks him into the losers' bracket in the third round).

Early tourney wins are what put AJ and Waltman into the main event. The tournament is made up of the eight guys who aren't Jarrett listed above as well as Jeff Hardy, Abyss, Ron Killings, Sabu, and both members of Team 3D and America's Most Wanted.

I planned out every outcome of every match for the next seven weeks, so I hope I don't have any setbacks like injuries or AJ going back into rehab. James Storm actually is hurt, but he hurt himself at a house show the day after he got his second loss of the tournament to AJ, so it worked out okay.

So far I'm planning:

World Title: Jeff Jarrett vs. Christopher Daniels
Tag Team Titles: Team 3D vs. Abyss & Sabu
Undetermined Gimmick Match (Feud-Ender): Matt Bentley vs. CM Punk
Christian Cage vs. Sean Waltman
Rhino vs. Raven (These guys have put on several 100% quality matches)

Also, I released A-1, Eric Young, and Scott D'Amore (who insisted on leaving when I released A-1) and signed Chris Hero, Sexxxy Eddie, and Sonny Siaki to developmental deals. I'll probably bring in Hero and Siaki on the Impact after the PPV, since Jerry Jarrett thinks they've learned all they'll learn down there. It's odd, though. Beyond my top couple of tiers of guys, I really don't use that many people. Siaki and Hero will just get lost in the shuffle (as Siaki did once before when I released him the first time when I was cutting costs) like the Team Canada members did.
