Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 486: Board 8 Does Dallas

(+) Yeah! (+)

you did that draft without drinking first?
---

I actually don't drink but the later rounds made me want to start.
---

I was at work and I still drank.
---

if none of you drafted disgraceland i'm gonna be mad
---

'but war, we only meant the spike-era of impact'

big fat oily guy then
---

basically i'm gonna complain a lot about your cards not digging enough into the shitty tna and trying to have legitimate matches in there

none of these would even make a card if I had the power
---

okay maybe chyna
---

Then it sounds like you're the one who didn't dig enough into shitty TNA.

It was a five-man draft with 25 rounds, great options went pretty quick.

Jenna Morasca vs Awesome Kong for the knockouts title
---

Jenna Morasca, somehow, was not the lowest rated person available. Four wrestlers were ranked lower than her and selected.
---

Jenna Morasca wouldn't even be in my Knockouts title match.
---

the highlight of the draft was scarlet drafting jeremy buck 3rd, at which point i dared him to leave max buck on the table, letting him know i wasn't scared to draft a single buck to fuck with him. then he drafted desmond wolfe, who i actually wanted to draft next. so you damn well know i picked up max buck immediately
---

Okay, here is my card.

TNA Bound for Glory
Commentary: Mike Tenay and Don West

Match #1
Ultimate X for #1 Contendership to X-Division Title
The Pope DAngelo Dinero vs Elix Skipper vs Jimmy Rave vs Bad Bones
Its Ultimate X with four great workers, you know itll be good.

Match #2
#1 Contendership to Womens Title
Ivelisse vs Taylor Wilde
I dont have a story here, its two talented women getting in there and fighting over real stakes, what more do you want out of the second match on the card?

Match #3
Lethal Lockdown (If Team Canada loses, they must disband)
Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, and Raven vs Team Canada (Bobby Roode, Tyson Dux, Test)
The hardcore legends have had enough of Team Canadas cheating ways. Can the Canadians keep their clan together when theyre surrounded by Six Sides of Steel, with no hope of outside help, against a trio that thrives in the most violent situations possible?

Match #4
X-Division Title
DJ Z vs Minoru Tanaka
We hold these wrestling truths to be self-evident, that all rings hide weapons, that no contract signing will ever end peacefully That championships change people. The once-honorable, fun-loving DJ Z, in the midst of a long reign as champion, has become obsessed with holding onto his beloved title, and hell use whatever nefarious means necessary to do it. The returning Minoru Tanaka is the latest in a long line to challenge him, and he insists hes ready for anything. Can he succeed where so many, TNA stalwarts and relative newcomers alike, have failed?

Match #5
with Special Referee Dustin Rhodes
Sting vs Diamond Dallas Page
Old rivals come together once again. Its a different time in a different company, and theyre two different men. But the spectacle will be the same. Donning the referee stripes for this contest is someone quite familiar with both competitors, and he has personally guaranteed that therell be no funny business as these two icons of a bygone era look to decide who is truly the better man.
---

Match #6
Clockwork Orange Dollhouse of Fun Match for the TNA Knockouts Title
Taryn Terrell vs Mia Yim
Jade could only take so much. On the receiving end of Dollhouse leader Terrells verbal abuse one too many times, she finally snapped. Rejuvenated, refocused, and in reclamation of her true name and self, Mia Yim looks to pay back her former ally all the pain she ever caused her and then some - and maybe take her title while shes at it.

Shes dug up an old TNA stipulation to serve as the venue of her vengeance, and while the environment has been, shall we say, prettied up to add a nice bit of poetic justice for our long-suffering hero, theres nothing cute about the weapons it holds.

Match #7
TNA World Tag Titles
Americas Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm) vs The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards)
Battle of the Teams with America in Their Names! Two of the greatest tag teams in TNAs history meet for the first time on the biggest stage possible, battling for the ultimate prize.

Match #8
TNA World Heavyweight Title
AJ Styles vs Low Ki
These two have stared across the ring at one another in eight different promotions. But Low Ki has never been able to overcome AJ Styles in TNA when it counted. Will he do it for the first time in the biggest match of his life, for a title hes never quite managed to win?
---

So far the highlights are Creed managed by Hogan and using DDP.
---

I am disappointed that Black Reign and Suicide will not be seen directly

At least there's a Suicide related stipulation

Also I'm pretty sure Taryn Terrell and at least Mia Yim are from the post Spike era?

Taryn was definitely there for the Spike era, because she got into arguments with Brooke Hogan.

And I'm unhappy that we're not getting CURRY MAN vs. SUICIDE for reasons True TNA Fans will understand.
---

Nope, last show on Spike was at the end of 2014. Terrell had been there a couple years already and Mia Yim had made sporadic appearances.
---

Oh boy, here goes my card and I can promise its awesome.

Coming to you LIVE FROM THE IMPACT ZONE, Its Slammiversary!

Opening Bout:
X DIVISION TITLE MATCH: ULTIMATE X: X Division Champion Sonjay Dutt vs Doug Williams vs Daivari vs Crazzy Steve w/ Knux
- a pretty standard staple of your TNA cards here, no real feuds but a great mish mash of styles between the high flyer, Sonjay Dutt, the technical catch as catch can Doug Williams, the well rounded Daivari and the hardcore plunder specialist, the clown Crazzy Steve. Who will Steve Pants? Who will Dutt stomp the chest cavity of. Who Knows!? Let's find out.

KNOCKOUTS DIVISION GRUDGE MATCH: Daffney vs Angelina Love with Special Guest referee Winter
- Daffney has been on the warpath against Angelina Love after the Beautiful Person cut her hair earlier in the rivalry. But this is TNA so further complicating things is the presence of Winter who both seemingly would be on Daffneys side yet... there's some sort of weird chemistry between her and Angelina??

TAG TEAM TITLES MATCH: Three Stages of BRO Tag Team "Wrestling" Match
The BroMans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) (c) vs EC3 and Rockstar Spud
Fall 1: A Posedown showing off their phsyiques (Jessie vs EC3)
Fall 2: Beer Pong (Spud vs Robbie)
Fall 3: Wrestling

I think the stipulation speaks for itself. EC3 and Spud not only want to win their Tag Titles back - they want to prove theyre better BROS than the BROmans.

KNOCKOUTS TITLE MATCH: Gail Kim (c) vs Tara
Tara and Gail are here to give us what TNA was best known for - a women's match that rules. Gail selected Tara to be her opponent just to show the world that TNA is where the best women's wrestling anywhere happens.

AAA Title Match: Jeff Jarrett (c) vs Magnus
J-E-Double F Double M A, the Triple A champion has returned to impact and the International Treasure, Magnus want to show the world that he's just a clown and that Magnus is indeed not just Britain's Finest, or America's Finest, but Mexico's Finest too.

#1 CONTENDERS MATCH: KING OF THE MOUNTAIN for the right to face the TNA World Champion
Scott Steiner vs Ron "The Truth" Killings w/ Konnan vs Bully Ray vs Abyss vs Mr Anderson

This match is sure to be a mess of a match as all these different angles and mountainous men (plus Truth and Anderson) collide with one another. Steiner and the main event Mafia is upset with Bully Ray for being so FAT while Abyss and R Truth are feuding over the magic of Hogan's Hall of Fame Ring and Mr Anderson is out to prove he isn't WHITE TRASH and to prove that an ASSHOLE can be World Champion. Truth and Konnan (as 2 Live Kru) also keep rapping at Mr Anderson and his inability to rap back really pisses him off

TNA TITLE MATCH: Ladder Match Christian Cage w/ Tyson Tomko (c) vs Jeff Hardy

The virtuous charismatic enigma has been getting the better of Christian for months only to repeatedly have his moment of victory taken from him by Tomkos interference. So Tomko is banned from ringside and DEFINITELY won't be interfering in this match that calls back to WWE's glory days these two while hopefully setting them up for even better things here.
---

time to rip the bandaid off

Coming to you live from the IMPACT ZONE, it's VICTORY ROAD.

TITLE UNIFICATION MATCH: TNA LEGENDS CHAMPION Chavo Guerrero vs. TNA GLOBAL CHAMPION Kid Kash vs. TNA TELEVISION CHAMPION Greg Marasciulo
We start off hot with a true legend in Chavo Guerrero, who claims he's the only man in TNA worthy of such a belt. He's the only TNA wrestler from a LEGENDARY family. He's the only TNA wrestler getting bookings with Hollywood. Unfortunately for Chavo, he ran into a true global wrestler in Kid Kash, who quickly disposed of Chavo in a previous match and proclaimed himself the first TNA Global Champion. Kash's reign was ended by Marasciulo, who didn't see the sense of having a Global and World championship on the same roster, and had a new Television championship commissioned. The problem is that neither Guerrero nor Kash relinquished their belts, and ran around calling themselves Legendary and Global champions respectively. The TNA championship committee has finally decided to put an end to all these charades and booked a winner takes all triple threat match to see who has the real claim to the TNA Television Championship.

Lance Hoyt vs. Jack Evans
This is your typical big guy with surprising mobility vs. little guy with no regard for his well-being match. Both men are looking to break out as singles stars and could rocket to the top of their respective divisions with a win here.

Joey Ryan vs. Sabu
Joey Ryan was unsuccessful in his attempt to impress the judges during Gut Check, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to weasel his way into the company. Ryan has been a constant thorn in the side of Impact Zone officials for weeks and forced his way onto the card. TNA's punishment for the man with "movie star good looks" is none other than the hardcore legend Sabu. If Ryan can survive the encounter, he'll officially be on the roster.

JOKER'S WILD FINALS: Mick Foley & Shannon Moore vs. The NEW Diamonds in the Rough (Simon Diamond & Kanyon)
TNA is always looking for potential tag teams to freshen up it's roster. Having just run a successful World Tag Team Cup tournament, the first of it's kind in TNA, Panda Energy decided to look inward rather than outward for its next tag team tournament, with the winner receiving a tag team championship match. Kanyon was paired up with Simon Diamond, who look at this opportunity as one last chance to make it in the company. Mick Foley on the other hand was paired with a new look Shannon Moore, who has been willing but reluctant to take on the advice of Foley.

L.A Park vs. Judas Mesias
L.A Park has been brawling all the way up from Mexico before making a stop at the Impact Zone, where he's run into a beast unleashed in Judas Mesias. Both these men can give - and take - a lot of punishment. It will not be for the feint of heart.
---

TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: Beatdown Clan (MVP & Kenny King) (c) vs. Team Japan (The Great Muta & The Great Sanada)
BDC have been true to their name, running roughshod over the tag division and chasing away all challengers. As a result, the powers that be scoured the globe looking for competition, and they found it in Great Muta and his protege The Great Sanada.

KNOCKOUT CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENDED IN ULTIMATE X: Havok (c) vs. Dark Angel vs. Serena vs. Alissa Flash
The Knockout division has been carrying TNA for too long, and these women demand to challenge the limits of the 'no limits' X Division. This is the first of two such matches, the first ever Ultimate X match featuring the Knockout division. Havok would typically be considered the favourite in any straight match, but the rules favour her three opponents. With the limits removed, anything can happen in this match.

TNA X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP: Homicide (c) vs. Awesome Kong
And this is the other match as a result of the Knockout division challenging the limits of the X Division. Kong, the most impressive Knockout star, vs. Homicide, known mostly for his tag team specialty in TNA. There's no predicting the finish of this match.

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger
Samoa Joe has been a champion of the people, giving them great matches every time he accepts - and defeats - all challengers. He thought he'd beaten everyone, until the championship committee found a new challenger while scouting for the World Tag Team Cup. Can "The Samoan Submission Machine" step-up to the challenge of Jushin "Thunder" Liger in this dream main event?
---

I feel like three of the cards are going to be better than Steiner's.
---

Icon's show is probably the only one I'd buy so far. Just a lot of fresh stuff on there. Eddv's has the dubious honor of feeling the most TNA-like of the cards so far.

Mentally as a challenge I'm trying to think of Steiner even has left to work with. Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, Alex Shelley, Mickie James jump out. D-Von? Kevin Nash? Ric Flair? Dr. Stevie? Velvet Sky?
---

Reading the Observer from last night, and I thought Id share these sexual harassment text messages Tyrus/Brodus Clay sent his Fox News cohost. Theyre really...something

Murdoch was pulled off the show in April after McHenry complained to FOX management. She claimed he sent sexually harassing texts between November (when the two were assigned to the same UN-PC as co-hosts) and January.

In one text, Murdoch told his former co-host Just pull your boobs out now why dont you. Just grin and bare it.

In another he wrote, Keep being negative and Ill send you another dick pic.

Another one said, I love the fact you (sic) always working if we ever had sex I feel like after an orgazzum (sic) you say speaking of feeling good did see the story on the puppy rescue we should do a segment on it hand me my phone.

Really makes you think

I know this is real breaking news but Ospreay is in the middle of the best year an individual worker has had in quite some time both in ring and frankly his story contrnt has been good too

I was actually thinking about this the other day and I think I'd still take Okada's 2017 over Ospreay's 2019 but damned if it ain't closer than I ever thought it'd be.

It's a good discussion but I love that we can have it in July

CM Punk to Starrcast confirmed.
---

With Kevin Nash and Rocky Romero on commentary, I present to you...
TNA Sacrifice

PRE SHOW

TNA Shitshow #1
Rick Steiner & Shocker vs. The Naturals (w/ The Nature Boy)
I just had to book steinershocker against the naturals, my favourite tag team as everyone in the draft is well aware

TNA Shitshow #2
Hernandez vs. Mascarita Sagrada
Look I honestly dont think very highly of tna what can I say

MAIN SHOW
X Division Opener
Matt Jackson vs. Jigsaw vs. Amazing Red vs. Matt Bentley
When I realized I had to book a lone Young Buck, my mind went back to the CHIKARA 4-way of legend with Jigsaw, Ibushi and El Generico (and, admittedly Nick rather than Matt). Generico and Ibushi werent available and its hard to exactly replace them, but Amazing Red isnt a far cry and Matt Bentley is a wrestler, much like Kota Ibushi.

Womens Championship Match
ODB vs. Mickie James
this match probably happened a bunch idk

Global Championship Open Challenge
Bobby Lashley vs. Zach Gowen
Bobby Lashleys reign with the Global Championship has been punctuated with defences against other hosses, establishing him as the premiere killer in the promotion. Which makes for quite the surprise when Zach Gowen accepts his open challenge!

Gore vs. Pounce
Rhino vs. Monty Brown
Two dudes are just going to run into each other over and over until one is down for a 3 count, sounds pretty great actually

Tag Team Championship/Kevin Nashs Contract Full Metal Mayhem
Austin Aries and Roderick Strong vs. Alex Shelley and Matt Sydal
Generation Next explodes here as these four had all been under the guidance of the maestro of the x-division, Big Sexy for some time before Shelley and Sydal won the tag titles a few months back. Aries and Strong turned on them immediately afterwards, and last month beat them for the tag titles. Now they meet again, with the tag titles AND kevin nashs management contract suspended above the ring.

World Championship Match
Kurt Angle vs. Jerry Lynn
Once again for my main event, I bring you two of the very best wrestlers to ever do it, in a match that never happened. I know I dont need to sell anybody on Angle as one of the best of all time, but in the early years of Impact Jerry Lynn was really putting in an amazing final stretch of an all time great career and holding those early shows together. Giving him the world title main event spotlight is something I feel good enough about to invalidate some of the rest of this card. Please forgive me.
---

i'm so sorry
---

fuck the naturals
---

Okay if this was only Spike-era TNA I can forgive you all, but if this was 'up to TNA being taken off Spike' you all missed a chance to have a Knockouts Title match between two former champions of the TNA Women's Division.

That is, of course, Bruce vs. Eric Young.
---

also where is rhaka khan
---

But which show has special ring announcer Scott Steiner?
---

This was in fact Spike era only.
---

Rhaka Khan vs. Rosa Mendes vs. Krissy Vaine vs. Ashley Massaro vs. Jenna Morasca vs. Jackie Gayda - 6 Pack Elimination Challenge.

Who you got?

Let me show you idiots how to make a wrestling card.

Welcome To No Surrender

TNA Tag Team Title Triple Threat
Aces and Eights (Garett Bischoff and Wes Brisco) (w/ The Director of Chaos) vs. Basham and Damaja (w/ Christy Hemme) vs. The Nasty Boys (c) (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags)

Three of the greatest and longest-lasting tag teams in TNA history collide. Who will come out on top?

Unsanctioned Special Grudge Match
Orlando Jordan vs. Rob Terry

Two longtime rivals settle the score in one. final. match.

TNA Knockouts Tag Title Match
Main Event Mafia (Sharmell and Jenna Morasca) vs. The Kongtourage (Rkaha Khan and Soujourner Bolt) (c)

Both teams have lately had problems internally, but can they keep it together with gold on the line?

Ultimate X match for a shot at the X-Division Title at Bound For Glory

Cody Deaner vs. Tigre Uno vs. Christian York vs. Glenn Gilberti (w/ Al Snow)

Glenn Gilberti is sick of being treated like a joke, and he's especially sick of all these young high flyers. With Al Snow in his corner, he can't fail to bring honor and respect to these young idiots.

Tag Team All Titles On The Line Match

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Brother Devon and Brother Runt vs. Scott Hall and TNA X-Division Champion Syxx-Pac

Devon and Runt are brothers, but Hall and Syxx-Pac have been through so much together. What is thicker, blood, or water?

Finals of the Bound For Glory Series: Winner to get a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Bound For Glory

Gunner vs. Crimson

In this world, Crimson avoided being injured at the hands of Samoa Joe (who doesn't work here anymore in case you were wondering, because TNA sucks), and has taken his dominance all the way to the finals. Can he overcome his final challenge, MISTER INTENSITY, GUNNER HIMSELF?
---

Scarlet's card, I'm just not feeling main eventer Chris Sabin vs either contender and Bona Fide or Suicide is the only real match on the card I'd want to see. The stupid VKM tag might be number 2 which says it all. Slotting Booker T in a manager role seems like a waste he could still go in TNA.

Steiner's card has a main event I can get behind, and the Full Metal Mayhem might be good. Gore vs Pounce is funny though probably not as good as it sounds on paper. Rest is kind of a mess.

Iceman has a somewhat solid card but feels like an underperformance for the talent pool. Canada vs Extreme feels like a waste of Bobby Roode in particular but RVD and Raven to a lesser extent. AJ Styles vs Low Ki isn't a main event I wanna see very much either. I'll give it the nod over Steiner cause the commentary team is good at least.

Eddv has strong lovable TNA factor between three stages of bro and the dumb women's match and King of the Mountain-- obviously Daffney is free points for me. Probably my favorite X-Division mish mosh too with the mix of styles rather than just nonstop flippidoos, and King of the Mountain would be one of the more interesting multimans for me. Main event is standard, but standard is good enough to be third best ME of the set.

I want to see every match on Icon's card. Literally every one. Including the dumb three way opener (mostly cause the build sounds great) and the match with Judas Mesias. It may be my favorite card top to bottom you guys have made considering talent pools. I feel Liger in the main event slot is cheating since he was so minor in TNA unless I'm forgetting a part of the FSN/pre FSN era or something, but who cares it's just an awesome card that has a nice variety of styles and new feeling matches on it.

Icon >> Eddv > Iceman >= Steiner > Scarlet
---

War's card made me laugh enough that it's at worst top 3

Orlando Jordan vs Rob Terry is a legendary feud and you can't go wrong with Disco.

Hidden gem is Brother Devon is the heavyweight champion.
