NWA: TNA Episode 27 1/22/2003

Well hey there everybody.....been awhile, has it not? Just haven't had the motivation to really review anything. That happens when WWE is just sucking the biggest, fattest cock in the history of suckitude right now. I love my tapes and stuff, but the weekly wrestling programs are what's always driven my interest. Knowing that there is something interesting going on in the present wants to make you watch more of the past, you know? Great wrestling today reminds you of great wrestling of the past. You watch your tapes with more enjoyment. When the current product sucks though, you watch your tapes with regret....knowing that the match you're watching occurred 5 or 10 or 15 years ago, but it's better than what you are being offered today. Then we come to NWA: TNA. I like NWA: TNA. Good wrestling, some solid storylines.....but I can't order the PPV every week. First, I don't have the capacity to order it as I don't have a box here, and second there's no way I could afford it even if I could. That's why my friends and I always split up the one WWF PPV per month, cause individually we couldn't afford it. So I can't really call my recent watching of it as being a "current" product. I'm always at least a month behind.
Well, enough bullshit. I finally emerged from my lack of motivation due to an email from Ben, the guy who provides me with TNAs in exchange for tapes. Good deal. But we've also had an ongoing debate about Vince Russo. In my matchlist for the X-Division compilation, there is a Vince Russo interview segment, which I labeled as "dumbass Russo interview." Ben did not take kindly to that, and the debate was on. I think it's been a fairly healthy and good debate....although perhaps I've pissed him off on occasion. Hopefully he understands that anytime I say Russo is "a dumbass fuckin bastard," for example, it's nothing personal against him. Just kidding, bud. So anyway....Ben emailed me and asked me to review an NWA: TNA show from 2003....I think he wants me to eat my words in regard to Russo. We'll see. I wouldn't mind that....as long as Russo delivers quality wrestling entertainment to my TV screen, that's fine with me.
Alright, before we start this review, I'm gonna assume that most people who read this review know a little about NWA: TNA and who most of the wrestlers are. I really don't feel like going in-depth here on individual wrestlers....if you don't know about those guys, then you should look up some info on them in your own time. There's plenty of places to find it. However, one thing I do need to mention is the overriding storyline that has been present in NWA: TNA for most of the year---the "tradition" vs. "new school" storyline. What it boils down to is that Vince Russo wants to establish TNA as sports entertainment, which is a direct challenge to the reason TNA was created in the first place. So he recruited several guys who bought into his philosophy and named them S.E.X....Sports Entertainment Xtreme. The rest of the locker room (and announcer Mike Tenay) rests on the side of "tradition" of the old NWA....the old NWA was all about the wrestling, baby. No stupid gimmicks, it was who brought the goods to the table and who was better in the ring. That was why NWA: TNA was started, to bring back that brand of wrestling. Now Russo and S.E.X. is threatening that. If you wanna know why NWA: TNA is hot right now, you have to look no further than this angle.
So off we go, and with nothing more to waste your time with, here's YOUR matchlist......
Spanish Announce Team vs. Jimmy Yang/David Young/Shark Boy
Ashley Hudson vs. Jorge Estrada
A.J. Styles vs. Larry Zbyszko
Mike Sanders/David Flair vs. Ron Killings & Jerry Lynn
Low-Ki/Elix Skipper vs. Chris Harris/James Storm NWA TNA Tag Title Match
Sonny Siaki vs. Athena vs. Chris Vaughn X-Division Title Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Don Harris vs. BG James vs. Christopher Daniels NWA TNA World Title Match Gauntlet Match
We are ON TAPE, previously live on PPV, from Nashville, TN. Your hosts are Mike Tenay and Don West.
We start off the show with a picture and homage to the original Sheik (not the Iron Sheik), who died shortly before this show aired. The Shiek, for anybody who might not know, was also Sabu's uncle.
Jeremy Borash is in Australia, just because Australia is finally getting their first NWA; TNA PPV. Isn't that nice of them?
Spanish Announce Team vs. Shark Boy/Jimmy Yang/David Young
We brawl right away to start and the SATs win that. The SATS hit triple elbow drops from the top onto the heels, who decide to cool out and take a walk outside. The SATs are on the attack though, and Joel Maximo helps Red hit a somersault plancha to the outside. Nice. Back inside, the SATs combine for a sweet surfboard/dragon sleeper combo on Shark Boy, with Red adding to the pain by coming off the top with a leg drop! And that only gets 2!?!? What a waste of a beat-ass spot. Jose hits a clothesline and gets 2 as we settle down a bit. Shark Boy finally gets the hell outta there and Yang immediately hits a missile dropkick on Jose. Yang works the punches, but an enziguiri by Jose stops that. A gorgeous running high kick and a snap German suplex get a pair of 2 counts. Young comes in for Yang and stops Joel's hurricane DDT attempt by giving him a release Northern Lights suplex right into the corner.....ok, ouch!!! Red comes in and hits a DDT for 2. Red and Shark Boy both try dropkicks, but Shark Boy gets the better of that and gets 2. Jose and Yang come in to relieve their partners, but Jose quickly gets tossed outside into the railing....wait....and make that a sequel. Back inside, a suplex gets 2 before Shark Boy comes in with a fucking gorgeous neckbreaker for 2. Shark Boy controls Jose for a bit, before Joel comes in to kill Shark Boy with a brainbuster. Follow up senton misses. Young comes in for a belly to back, and something that could loosely be described as a moonsault gets 2. Okay, bitching time.....hey, if you're gonna do a moonsault, THEN DO IT!. If you're gonna come off the top all sideways and shit, don't bother. A double clothesline puts both guys out. Hot tags to Red and Yang, and Jimmy KILLS Red with a powerbomb for 2....holy shit. NOBODY should kick out of something that beautiful. Yang tries for another, but Red reverses in a nice Octopus stretch variant. The heels break that up and it busts loose in Nashville. Do you like high-flying moves.....well WE GOT THEM!!!! Yang goes upstairs to hit the Yang Time on Red, but Red pops up and hits a top rope Code Red for the 3. Real good match. ***.
--Postmatch, Konnan comes in with a kendo stick and beats the hell out of everybody left in the ring. Police escorts Konnan out while Konnan yells at Mike Tenay for no discernible reason.
--Mike and Don West at ringside. They update us on some stuff. We get a rundown of the matches for tonight from Don West. Vince Russo has the power to pick all the challengers for the title matches tonight.
--Russo's music hits and S.E.X. comes out. Russo claims the 22% increase in NWA TNA buyrates are solely because of S.E.X. I honestly can't totally disagree with that....the angle is damn hot, although of course the tradition side needs some credit for it as well. But I digress. Russo has the power to make matches tonight, so he makes various matches tonight that highly favor S.E.X. Go figure. Russo blabs some more before handing the mic to Mike Sanders, who also talks and introduces us to the specially appointed S.E.X. Australian Champion (uh huh)....Ashley Hudson. Ashley who?
Ashley Hudson vs. Jorge Estrada
Pre-match, Mike Tenay reminds me why he was the FUCKING MAN back in the day (1996-early 98), as Ashley Hudson gets a full background check and biography, just in case anybody watching cared. They trade basic stuff to start before Jorge tosses Ashley and follows up with a pescado. Jorge tosses Ashley back in and hits a NICE moonsault from the outside middle rope to the inside. That move has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Ashley smartly takes a walk. Back inside, Ashley takes control and Jorge gets "choked" despite being visibly 2 feet from the ropes. Tsk tsk, boys. Ashley follows up with punching and kicking then sends Jorge into the stairs. A slingshot legdrop back to the inside gets 2. Ashley tries a suplex, but Jorge counters by just holding on and getting a mini-rollup for a quick 2. Jorge gets a nice senton, then follows that up with the Lionsault for 2. Jorge up top, but Ashely cuts that off. They fight up top before Jorge slugs him down. Jorge finally hits a mere flying cross body, but Ashley rolls through and gets....3? 1/2* Woah, can't remember seeing that ending in quite awhile. Not knocking it, just haven't seen it and it surprised me. The match wasn't really anything though. Sanders tries to recruit Jorge post-match, but Jorge walks away for tradition.
--We see the NWA TNA dancers. This is one thing I really wanna talk about....the TNA dancers. This is a fucking BRILLIANT idea, I shit you not. Instead of coming up with horribly contrived segments to try to get women semi-naked like they do on WWF TV, NWA: TNA just has them dance in their little cage for a minute or so while they scroll the information for upcoming shows and Tenay keeps talking about upcoming matches and shit. It's unapologetically and unshamedly appealing to the fact that guys want to see women in skimpy clothes, so they give them that for a minute or two, and then they get them OFF THE FUCKING SCREEN. It's that simple. Everybody wins. Guys get to see women, without the pain of having to watch them wrestle. Leave the wrestling to the wrestlers, or the extremely few valets who know how to take a bump. Not to women who have tits or long legs and know NOTHING about being in the wrestling ring. NWA: TNA lets the wrestlers wrestle and keeps the T & A where it belongs....as a minor amusement and a moment's distraction. Don't clog up valuable time with stupid shit...let them dance and be done.
--Nice review of the Styles/Zbyscko fued.
Larry Zbyscko vs. AJ Styles
Larry is announed as from Pittsburgh...ugh. Like the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed of Bush being from Texas, I am ashamed that Larry is from Pittsburgh. Tenay goes through Larry's history as an AWA champ, and mentions his 1980 cage match against Bruno Sammartino. I recently got that tape, so it's a nice little tie-in for me. Styles wins the chanting war with the crowd to start, immediately shooting the theory that the "Living Legend" (yeah...right) is the face here. We start stalling....but of course that's what Larry does best. Always has. Larry tries to shoot the leg amateur-style, but Styles backs off. Larry manages to take him down with an armbar and headscissors before Styles makes the ropes. Larry goes to it again, but Styles kips up. Hiptoss by Larry, but Styles hits a kitchen sink to take control. Styles says "Fuck you Larry" and kicks the shit out of him I like it. More "Let's Go AJ" chants. Superkick by Styles sends Larry all the way outside, but Styles misses a follow-up pescado and Larry introduces him to the steps. Larry goes up top(?!?!?!), but it's stopped by the ref. Why? Since when can't anybody go up top? Of course I know he stopped it because there was NO WAY Larry was coming off the top to the outside, so the ref saves him the embarrassment. But anyway....AJ uses the distraction of the ref to take Larry down, and Larry hits a low blow. Back body drop gets 2, but AJ reverses a suplex attempts and gets it instead. AJ up top, but Larry pops up and crotches him. Larry tries...something...but AJ reverses it into a rollup w/feet on the ropes for the 3. **. This was actually better than it had any right to be, thanks to Styles making Larry look like he was 20 years younger. He carried the match and the excitement level. Postmatch AJ yells at Tenay for awhile, just for the hell of it, I think..
--We see the TNA girls dancing some more. Again, this is a BRILLIANT idea.
--Goldilocks interviews Jerry Lynn and Ron Killings. Lynn gives a fairly strong interview about the rigors of the business, traveling the long roads with each of the major North American promotions, etc. etc. His motivation to win is because Russo and SEX is trying to wreck the place he has finally called home and put him out of a job and destroy his livelihood. I didn't know Lynn even knew how to give an interview. You learn something new everyday.....
Mike Sanders/David Flair vs. Lynn/Killings
Lynn and Killings storm the ring, and Killings gets a Flatliner right away on David (with his dad, I'd just say Flair....but David does not deserve the reference of merely "Flair" yet, so he gets the first name only treatment), and David smartly rolls outside. Nice rollup inside by Lynn gets 2 on Sanders. Back inside, both heels charge the corner, and each promptly eats one of Lynn's boots. Lynn chops David and get a 10 punch in the corner, but Sanders Cheats To Win and the heels take control. Hennig neck snap by David gets 2...well, if you're gonna rip somebody off, Curt Hennig is a good choice. Heels kick Lynn down in the corner and a suplex gets 2. Suplex by Sanders gets 2. The heels Cheat To Win some more. David TRIES to be like his daddy by going to the kneebreaker and Figure 4, but it just looks like he watched a Ric Flair match and is imitating it rather than doing any wrestling. But he's TRYING at least, and I approve of that. Not that it matters, as Lynn reverses the Figure Four and gets a 2 count. David hits a clothesline to keep control, and David and Sanders dish out a few more minutes worth of punishment. Sanders eventually makes the mistake of running his mouth too much and Killings get the hot tag and cleans house. Axe kick by Killings for 2. Question-- Are black guys the only ones in wrestling allowed to do the axe kick? Just curious. More heel chicanery leads to David hitting Lynn with a....burlap sack????...for the 3. Huh? Oh, but wait, there's something inside the bag. That sneaky, sneaky David. Well, he'll never ever be confused with The Dirtiest Player in the Game.....but I give David major props, he's really trying. *. Postmatch, Sanders taunts Killings and denies Killings' "request" for admission into S.E.X.
---More TNA dancing. Once again, this is BRILLIANT!!!
---Roddy Piper talks and stuff. Please don't ask me to listen to Piper, I'm not ready for that tonight.
Low Ki/Elix Skipper vs. Chris Harris/James Storm
Harris and Storm are the tag champs and represent old school. Ki and Skipper get the title shot by benefit of Russo. Christopher Daniels is at ringside to ensure the screw-job ending, in case you couldn't smell it coming from ten thousand miles away. Lots of kicking and punching to start....what did you expect, this is Low-Ki we're talking about. Clotheslines abound all over. Harris/Storm then hit some nice double team stuff to take control, including a Hart Attack dropkick. Ki and Skip bail and stall for a bit. Thesz press and back body drop get 2 for Harris. Daniels interferes though, allowing Skip and Ki to take over. Ki kicks Storm down and the heels work the right leg. Storm fights against it and the crowd is actually INTO that mini-comeback....that's something you rarely see anymore, a crowd popping for a resthold. But when a match is worked correctly, that's what happens. Ki and Skip cheat to win to keep control and the crowd is HATING them. Several pin attempts get 2 as the crowd is pretty warm now. Nice kick exchange sequence ends up with both Storm and Ki own. HOT tag to Harris and he cleans house. BIG powerslam gets 2 on Ki, as does a swinging neckbreaker. Sitout powerbomb, but the ref is distracted. Harris tries to chop down Skipper, but...Skipper no sells? What the fuck is that? From this point on, the match went to go straight to hell. Harris pounds Skipper down anyway off the no-selling. Tiger suplex gets 2 for Skip, and an awkward looking sequence leads to a seated dropkick in the face that gets 2 for Ki. Storm/Harris go for a Demolition Decapitation, but Daniels interferes again. Harris gets...something...that looked like a swinging Rock Bottom, but Skipper comes in with a title belt and nails Harris, and Ki crawls over for the win and the titles. Ugh. **3/4 Very nice build, very hot middle, but this thing just grinded to a cruel and slow halt for me, and almost completely turned me against the entire match. It had nothing to do with the screw-job ending either....for the last couple minutes of the match, it looked like all 4 guys had never wrestled before. Just ugly IMHO.
---Goldilocks tries to interveiew Bob Armstrong, but Bob bitches her out.
Sonny Siaki vs. Chris Vaughn vs. Athena
Sonny is the X-Division champ and this is another match made by Russo tonight. BTW, Siaki is gonna be a fucking STAR in the business if he keeps working on it. I'm telling you, he has the fuckin look and if he gets pushed right and can arise above the politicking, he'll be a star. Vaughn is some rookie who Tenay brought out the previous week and touted, but Russo has put him into a match. Tenay protests this by saying that Vaughn is the future, but not ready for anything on this level at present. Tenay is doing such an awesome job tonight. Tenay then becomes my new favorite announcer by GOING OFF on the fact that Athena is even in the match, saying women wrestling men is what killed the Cruiser division in WCW. Well, as I recall, Russo wasn't even in WCW when Disco was basically killed as a character by losing to Jackie. Although maybe I'm forgetting Madusa getting the title in 2000 or something, but that Disco/Jackie match was just all totally wrong.
Anyway, to the match and enough about the past. Siaki dominates Vaughn to start while Athena stands around, but then Athena distracts Siaki, allowing Vaughn to get a couple surprise 2 counts. Siaki promptly kills Vaughn dead, but picks him up at 2. Siaki gets in Athena's face again, but she kicks him in the nuts! Desire (Sonny's girl) and Athena get in a catfight outside the ring as the camera misses a move by Vaughn that gets another surprise 2 count on Vaughn. Siaki finally decides that 3 minutes is long enough for a match and destroys Vaughn with the Siakilypse (Pumphandle-Owendriver combo) for the 3. This was a Perfectly Acceptable Squash....not too long, a couple surprise rollups, a funny moment. *. Kid Kash and Trinity come down to ringside and kick Siaki around for a bit.
---More TNA dancing. Have I mentioned that this is fucking BRILLIANT?!?!?!
---Goldilocks is invited into the S.E.X locker room and immediately gets sprayed down with champagne as S.E.X is celebrating their eventual win over Jeff Jarrett tonight. But what a surprise that the hot chick interviewer gets sprayed done, huh? Especially since she had been wearing a dark shirt THE WHOLE SHOW, but now she's in a WHITE shirt for the spraydown . I mean, it's just really convenient, isn't it? Russo comes in to bust up the celebration and yells at everyone for prematurely celebrating, because they haven't beaten Jeff Jarrett yet.
---We see a little review package of Dusty/Nikita last week. Dusty Rhodes comes out and talks about the attack by Nikita Koloff on last week's show. Tenay fills in everyone who might not know whats going on in TNA by giving a brief history of the Dweam and Nikita Koloff. That's definately something WWE takes for granted anymore.....WWE wants to bring in these "big" stars like Goldberg, then they want to write their own history for them. Well, deep down, even though a fan might not specifically remember something, they can smell bullshit. Better to go with the truth. Dusty talks about the "tradition vs. new school" fued. Dusty calls out Nikita. Nikita comes out of the crowd (and looks pretty fuckin good for his age too!). Dusty talks about the history of himself, Magnum TA, and Nikita. Car accident, asking for a partner for Crockett Cup, everything. Dusty tells Nikita that he IS old-school and the epitome of tradition, and appeals to Nikita to let bygones be bygones. Dusty will even forget about the attack last week, cause hey....that shit happens, you know? This brings Russo out and he bitches Nikita out. Russo says Nikita is at the crossroads and needs to make a decision between the past and the future of the sport. Nikita walks into the ring to seemingly join Dusty, but then turns on him and nails him. S.E.X. beats down Dusty for awhile as Nikita has gone new school. Tenay is disgusted on commentary and storms up the aisle pissed off as all hell. You could smell the Nikita turn coming from light years away, but it doesn't matter......THIS WAS A FUCKING AWESOME SEGMENT!!!! If this was the only show I'd ever seen of NWA TNA at this point, there is no way in hell I would want to miss next week's show.
---Mike Tenay is backstage trying to pep talk Jeff Jarrett and reminds him of the tradition of NWA, and his roots as a 3rd generation star in the business. Jarrett just can't lose the NWA TNA title to anybody from S.E.X. Jarrett says he's gonna kick ass.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Christopher Daniels vs. BG James vs. Don Harris
Another match especially made by Russo, this is supposed to be a 4 way match, but in reality everyone knows that it's 3 on 1. A wrestler can be eliminated by pin, submission, or going over the top rope. Jarrettt comes out firing, but takes a beatdown for his trouble. The three heels kick Jarrett's ass all over the arena....in the ring, out of the ring, into the stairs, into the railing, into the crowd.....everywhere. Jarrett blades at some point that I missed, but I can't rewind the tape because it's dubbing for somebody else right now. This is really quite boring at the moment, but Tenay is back at ringside and he's gradually pulling me into the match anyway by stressing the importance of keeping the title away from new school, without turning into Schiavone or JR while doing it. Jarrett gets periodic comebacks before the heels manage to work together and take over again. Jarrett find a chair and begins swinging away. All four make their way back to the ring. BG James gets pissed off at the ref....but hold on just a moment......the ref just happens to be his brother Scott!!! Beautiful touch there by whoever wrote that into the script. Scott isn't taking none of that shit and rips the shirt off and is ready to fucking go. Jarrett takes advantage of the distraction and puts Harris over the top to eliminate him, then puts BG James out as well! Sweet booking there, I like it. It's down to Jarrettt and Daniels. Other members of S.E.X. try to run in, but Dusty is out as well and is cleaning house outside with the Bionic Elbow. Daniels has a submission while the camera follows Dusty destroying the entire S.E.X lockerroom, as they all sell the Bionic Elbow like Death Itself. Bob Armstrong and the SATs come out and get involved as well. Inside the ring, Daniels gets a double jump moonsault for a hot 2. Daniels goes up top, but Jarrett catches him as he lands and nails the Stroke for the 3. Good match. **1/2. The SATs and the rest of the TNA old school lockerroom hoist Jarrett on their shoulders as the show ends......
--BUT WAIT!!!! The show is not over. Somebody sneaks in the ring and nails Jarrett and climbs out with the belt....it's RAVEN!!!! Raven is with S.E.X!!!!! This was MAJOR shit and set off the next two-three months of shows. Great finish to a really good show.
Official Grade-- B+. What more can be said? This was a kick-ass show that showed all of NWA: TNA strengths right now...solid wrestling up and down the card, bullshit kept to the minimum, and a hot angle that has carried them through the entire first half of 2003. This show not only enhanced the "tradition vs. new school" angle to a little higher level, but set off the very good (and HOT) Jarrett/Raven fued that last until just recently.
--Now, do I think that Ben has made his point about the greatness of Russo? No. I will admit that Russo is doing a good job right now, but so are alot of other people. There's other guys reeling in his more flamboyant tendencies and keeping the focus on what's happening in the ring. If it was up to Russo, there would be alot more weird shit going on, trust me. But that's what you gotta have....Russo is doing a good job pushing the envelope and his storyline, and the other writers are doing a good job going with his ideas and reeling them in when appropriate. That's how shit works. TNA is much more interesting than either RAW or Smackdown right now, cause they have people busting ass and an angle that shows off alot of new wrestlers that fans can get behind. This is why they are so hot and why their popularity is increasing.
--However.....WWE can put them right back down again. WWE has the talent in front and behind the scenes to match and exceed TNA step for step. They EASILY could do this....why don't they? I honestly don't know. Personally, I think it is greed and ego. There are simply too many people who are trying to gain as much power as they can in WWE, and to hell with anything else right now. The wrestlers, the writers, the producers....everybody. To hell with an entertaining product and giving the fans what they want....we will shove something down your throat and you WILL like it. That's what WWE is saying right now. WWE is putting out main events with the same cast of characters that was the downfall of WCW!!!! Hey, if WWE fans wanted to watch WCW TV.....THERE WOULD BE NO WWE!!!! WCW would have survived with Nash, Hogan, Goldberg, etc. BUT THEY DIDN'T!!! Now the WWE is pushing these same guys down our throats, when we got tired of them in the promotion that DIED in the first place. Doesn't anyone realize this in the front office at Titan Towers? Obviously not...they're too busy being greedy and stroking the dick of the guy right above them so they can gain more power. Eventually they will wake up....how long it takes them remains to be seen.
--What's the point of this rant? It's just that with less resources and talent, NWA: TNA is delivering the superior product right now. WWE is being fucking lazy....which is why I've been boycotting them for the last year, aside from the periodic check-in to see if anything has changed. Which it hasn't. So say "fuck off" to RAW and Smackdown for a few months so that they'll get their asses in gear, and instead throw your support to NWA: TNA. That way we'll have TNA delivering good shows still, as well as WWE getting back to what they are capable of.
--So anyway, that's my take on the situation in wrestling right now. Take it for what you will. I have lots I could say, but these are my basic feelings. So Ben, feel free to email me and go to town on me.
