Match One: Kevin Northcutt vs Chris HarrisNorthcutt finally in wrestling gear and thank God for that. He looks much
better this way. We are told that Russo changed the Abyss/Styles contest
tonight to ANOTHER singles match because of the controversy last week. Sorry
but that really sucks! We also learn that Harris will wrestle later tonight
no matter what the outcome of this match. Harris gets the win with the
Catatonic on Northcutt in a decent opening match.
Hudson in back with Trinity asking about Camp Jarrett. Trinity says that she
isn't with Jeff, she is her own woman and now that Vince is back she will be
good. Siaki comes in and tells us that Russo was the man telling him not to
sign anything. Wow, all that build up for a 2 second explaination? Ok.
Diamond, Brown, Killings, Konnan all get their two cents in as well. Konnan
was on a roll, but unfortunately he put in an "ariba la rassa" at the end
and ruined everything.
Match Two: Kid Kash, Michael Shane, David Young, Glenn Gilberti & Johny
Swinger vs Sonny Siaki, Konnan, Ron Killings, Simon Diamond & D'Lo Brown
Now this match would be pretty kick ass if Konnan wasn't there to ruin
everything. If you haven't learned by now, I detest Konnan. Of course, BG
James is joining the commentators for this match. Konnan is in early and
lucky for us he hits his signature moves right away. Hopefully that means we
won't have to see much more. Simon Diamond picks up the win with a super
kick on David Young.
After the match all hell breaks loose in the ring as Swinger jumps Diamond,
Kash works on Killings and Siaki. Then, The ICP and those loser guys from
last week hit the ring and clean house.
Video of Frankie Kazarian bitching about Jerry Lynn not picking him to be in
the X Cup. He still looks like a powder puff with that hair, but you got to
admit he can wrestle. Kazarian says he will prove tonight that he should
have been in the X Cup by beating the captian.
Match Three: Frankie Kazarian vs Jerry Lynn
In a pretty decent match, with little crowd response, Kazarian picks up the
win with a roll up on Lynn.
After the match, Raven comes down and gets in the ring. Frankie backs into
him and then shoves Raven. Raven then gets on the mic and says he has been
coming out for weeks saying he deserves a title shot. He tells Russo and
Jarrett to pay attention because no one is more qualified than him for that
title shot. He was even flowing people while Harris was in the parking lot
asking for autographs. He has run off tons of people and been standing
around waiting for his turn. What about him? What about Raven? Then, the
Naturals come down and beat on Raven with Kazarian. Andy Douglas gets on the
mic and mocks Raven and then asks, what about the Naturals. Then the lights
go out and when they come back up Sabu is in the ring beating on the
Naturals. Looks like Sabu/Raven vs the Naturals next week.
Tenay and West hype the show for March 17. They then talk about how Jarrett
has just arrived in the building.
Hudson in back with Jarrett and Shane Douglas. Hudson asks why he is here
and tells him that Russo doesn't have him booked tonight. Jarrett says he
knows what Russo is doing. He is trying to make him unprepared for his match
March 17, but he will find a match tonight. Hudson asks what Douglas is
doing here. Douglas says that he and Jeff are good friends and that there is
no one that tells them what to do.

win.
Match Four: Nosawa, Kuishinbo Kamen & Ebessan vs Chris Sabin, Elix
Skipper & Sonjay Dutt
Basically all I see is two guys dressed like clowns teaming with Nosawa and
all I can do is think... what the fuck is this? Camera cuts in seeing Storm
and Harris talking in the back. Back to the match. The guy with a pig mask
on is in the ring hitting some funky moves. I guess he is Ebessan. Osaka Pro
is the fed they come from and Tenay tells me that is a kids group, but my
buddy informs me that it is a bizarre form of Japanese humor and not a
"kids" group. Kamen is wearing a poka dot outfit and a very odd mask that
looks kinda like a mouse. Sabin and Dutt hit a double top rope move and Dutt
gets the pinfall for the win. Sabin lands on his knee hard and he looks
really hurt as Dutt and Skipper help walk him to the back.
Hudson in back with... Oh Shit! Goldy in back with a phone! Not again. Goldy
is calling Eric Watts and leaving a message on his phone about how he has no
job and how she is going to find a real man. This is stupid. I think Goldy
is having a mental break down as she hangs up the phone and then calls back!
Video Package on Styles/Abyss
Match Five: Falls Count Anywhere Tag Title Match - Abyss vs AJ Styles
I guess Russo has held the belts up and that they will be decided next week
instead. Wonder who didn't show up this time. In the back, Douglas is
through stuff around and acting all pissed. We find out that Douglas is
Harris' opponent later tonight! A fan throws pop into the face of AJ Styles.
It turns out to be Johnny Fairplay in street clothes! Security escorts
Fairplay and Lollipop out of the arena. Holy crap, Styles hits Abyss with a
German Suplex! Two referees down! Styles hits the Styles Clash on Abyss!!!
Ref number three, Bruce Gray, comes to make the two count! Styles punches
Abyss and the table breaks? LMAO! Whoops... AJ improvises with the table and
comes flying off the top rope hitting both the ref and Abyss! Three referees
down. What the hell? Heavy D comes out and Abyss nails him. Then he tries to
stop AJ and gets poped from AJ. The black shirts separate both men and D'Lo,
Siaki, BG James, Killings and others come down. Abyss attacks AJ and it is
broken up again. AJ attacks Abyss and they are broken up. I guess the match
is thrown out? BULLSHIT chant hits from the fans. No clue what the point of
that ending was.
Hudson in back with ICP. They want a Dark Carnival match against Gilberti
and company. Whoopie
West and Tenay go over the America's X Cup for next week. Team Canada, lead
by Scott D'Amore come to the ring to bitch the American Fans out. Team AAA
comes out to confront Team Canada. Confrontation ensues!
Hudson in back with Chris Harris talking to him about his next opponent,
Shane Douglas.
Jeff Jarrett comes out to the ring to bitch about not wrestling tonight.
Jarrett books himself in a match and tells Borash that it may be against
him. He calls out Chicken Hat!!!! He then calls out Tiny and then Don West!
He then tells Tenay to knock the smirk off his face. He starts throwing
chairs in the ring and says he is getting his workout tonight no matter what
Russo thinks. He gives Russo ten seconds to get someone out there. He has
tossed 7 chairs into the ring. Harris comes out and attacks Jarrett. Douglas
then comes out to attack Harris and Heavy D gets Jarrett out of the ring.
Match Six: Chris Harris vs Shane Douglas
Don Harris is the ref because we have none left. Douglas is wrestling in
street clothes. As Jarrett distracts Heavy D, Shane Douglas uses a chain to
knock Harris out, but Harris kicks out. Storm then helps Harris out again by
kicking Douglas and allowing Harris to hit a spear for the win.
After the match, Russo then comes out to the ring with a mic. Russo asks
Harris if he is ready for March 17th. Harris says yes, James Storm says he
is ready too. Russo asks Storm if Harris is ready then why did he screw
Shane Douglas? By doing that Harris and Storm are no better than Jeff
Jarrett. Russo says that Harris will not be able to beat Jarrett one on one
with James Storm helping him out. Russo says that he knows Jarrett and he
isn't ready for Jarrett and will be postponing the match. Harris grabs Russo
and tells him that he isn't postponing anything. The contract is signed and
he will wrestle Jarrett on March 17th whether Russo likes it or not. Russo
then says that if everyone is telling him that Harris is ready, then the
people are going to get what they want. The match will take place, but Russo
washes his hands of the match because in his opinion Storm is not ready.
Harris wants to prove he is ready and tells Jarrett to bring it. Jarrett and
Harris are brawling in the ring until Heavy D and Storm separate them. I
guess this is the end of the show. 13 minutes before the top of the hour.
