Night One of TNA’s “Genesis” Impact special opened with Mike Tenay and Taz sitting ringside, appearing on-camera for the first time in a month. Taz removed his shades as Tenay said tonight’s Impact is dedicated to the memory of Mae Young. Taz offered his thoughts and said their thoughts are with her family.

After a video recap of recent events, including Magnus becoming TNA World champion over original champ A.J. Styles last week, TNA went to a crowd shot of the arena. Then, standing in the ring was Rockstar Spud as a “Magnus Wears Panties” sign was quite visible facing the hard camera. It was almost bigger than Spud. Spud tried to introduce himself, but was interrupted by boos. Spud channeled Bad News Barrett requesting decorum before declaring this a monumental night for pro wrestling.

Spud got down to business welcoming out TNA president Dixie Carter, who came to the ring to boos. Dixie said everyone has seen what it’s like when you cross the boss – first Jeff Hardy, last week A.J. Styles, and who knows tonight. Dixie said she is ready to play if anyone is game.

Dixie then addressed last week – saying she warned A.J. Styles. But, he did not want to fall in line with everyone else. And where did that get him? “Back to the beginning of his career,” Dixie said. She said she’s thankful that story is over. So, tonight is a new chapter because this individual has earned the respect of everyone. Dixie said this man represents everything she wants representing her company. “He is Magnus,” she said.

Out came Magnus dressed in a suit with one TNA Title belt over his shoulder and the other around his waist. Spud welcomed Magnus into the ring, then Magnus looked around the arena, ignoring the “panties” sign staring him in the face. Magnus said it’s an historic night – pause for a “You Sold Out” chant – because they have put everything in their rear-view mirror.

Magnus said he’s wearing two title belts, which he called a bit obnoxious. He asked Dixie to look around and see that all of this is because of her. For that, he presents her with a title belt as a “Champion of our Hearts.” Dixie blushed holding the title belt before sounding like Vickie Guerrero that she knows she deserves this honor. Dixie then asked some noble servants to come down to the ring to be recognized.

Out came the trio of Robbie E., Jessie, and Zema Ion, then Bad Influence and Gail Kim and Lei’D Tapa. Dixie told Spud to hold her TNA Title belt before addressing the group of heels. She commended Bobby Roode before noting all of them will benefit greatly in their next paychecks. But, tonight is the “genesis” of a new company. Dixie said it’s a new TNA. “This is the genesis of Dixie Carter’s TNA,” she said. Dixie said for that to happen, they have to stand tall as a company. And, to accomplish that, her nephew, Ethan Carter III, is going to have take out the one man standing in their way – Sting.

Dixie welcomed out Ethan Carter III, complete with full ring entrance. ECIII was dressed to wrestle and took the mic in the ring. Carter cleared his throat, but the lights suddenly went out and Sting’s music played. TNA did a light show with the Sting Strobe flickering on and off before cutting to a shot of Sting standing in the crowd. Sting pointed his trademark baseball down at ECIII with a big smile on his face.

[Q2] [Commercial Break at 9:15]

Back from break, the light display was still going on and Sting was standing in his same position. Sting rhetorically asked if this is the future right here, then said he hopes the pay-off was worth it. Sting said there’s a bunch of wrestlers in the back who wouldn’t take the pay-off because they have honor. He added that it’s really bad to mess with wrestlers, but to mess with wrestlers’s families, Dixie Carter stepped way over the line.

Sting started walking down the arena steps as he addressed “paper champion” Magnus, saying he had no idea that he would sell out, back-stab, and throw in the towel when they brought him into Main Event Mafia. Overall, Sting said this is not a house united, but a house divided, which cannot stand. Sting said before this house comes toppling down, they’re going to do something about it. He said “we” are going to fight tonight. “Wait, wait, wait!” Dixie said, before asking who “we” are.

Sting responded that Dixie needs to look all around the building. A group of babyfaces led by Samoa Joe and James Storm came out on-stage, then charged the ring to start fighting with the heels. Gunner came in late after all the action spilled to the outside, where Magnus had an awkward exchange with Joseph Park. Suddenly, Sting was in the ring. And, alone with ECIII. Sting put his bat underneath ECIII’s throat, then jabbed him in the gut before Impact cut to break.

[Commercial Break at 9:24]

Back from break, some of the faces were in the ring and some of the heels were on the outside. Samoa Joe took the mic and said they came here to fight. Rockstar Spud then emerged on-stage asking Joe if he really wants to fight tonight. Spud, standing next to referee Brian Hebner, said they’re going to have a 12-man tag match right now. Spud called for the bell.

1 — TEAM DIXIE (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS & KAZARIAN & D.J. ZEMA ION & TNA tag champs ROBBIE E. & JESSIE & LEI’D TAPA w/Gail Kim) vs. TEAM STING (SAMOA JOE & JAMES STORM & GUNNER & ERIC YOUNG & JOSEPH PARK & ODB) — 12-person tag match

The action remained on the outside for the most part as a few wrestlers cycled in and out of the ring. Things eventually settled down with wrestlers in the ring and wrestlers on the apron waiting for tags.

[Q3] EY and Park tried to double-team Jessie, but the heels cut off the attack. The heels then isolated EY in the ring before ODB entered the ring to go after Ion. Taz said she’s “like a dude” before Tapa squished ODB, popping Taz. Things settled down again with Daniels working on Young. Daniels lost control, allowing Joe to tag in for EY. Daniels and Kaz each took offense from Joe, who then found himself alone in the ring as the heels regrouped on the outside. So, Joe smashed the tag champs on the floor. The action then broke down ringside.

Back in the ring, Kaz popped Park in the mouth with a dropkick. Kaz celebrated, then saw Park bleeding from the mouth. Park entered “Abyss” mode as Kaz freaked out about his bad luck. Gunner and Storm then argued over business in the ring, so Park/Abyss clotheslined both of his tag partners. Park/Abyss left the ring, then Joe and Daniels battled in the ring. Joe put Daniels in a rear-naked choke and Daniels was forced to tap out.

WINNERS: Team Joe/Sting at 7:32. Not much juice from the victory squeeze when the heels have been established as lower-level figures.

Backstage: Velvet Sky was shown talking to herself. Sky asked what’s she’s supposed to do, then Austin Aries appeared in the camera shot and told Sky to think about his proposal. Aries walked off just before Aries’s rival, X Division champion Chris Sabin, walked in demanding to know what’s going on. Sabin flipped out about matters, then told Sky to go to the ring with him right now to deal with their issues in the ring.

[Commercial Break at 8:37]

Backstage: Kurt Angle was shown walking around with his luggage demanding to know where Dixie Carter is. Angle asked the camera filming him where Dixie is, then shoved the camera aside when no answers were produced.

In-ring: Chris Sabin was standing by with Velvet Sky. Sabin accused Sky of being very selfish as of late. Sabin said he’s her boyfriend and X Division champion – not just for him, but her and them. Sabin demanded answers about secret meetings, but Austin Aries’s music interrupted.

Aries spoke from the entrance ramp that Sabin acts like he’s special with his X Title, but he has a new title for him: “Worst Boyfriend That Ever Lived.” Aries said he might be vegan, but he wouldn’t mind a piece of pigeon pie. Sabin took offense, saying he’s not going to steal her from him. Sabin said this woman is his and she has proved it by doing exactly what he says. Aries responded by objectifying Sky, prompting Sabin to cut him off and tell him to watch his mouth.

Aries responded that they go one-on-one for the X Title next week without Sky’s involvement. Sabin laughed off Aries’s challenge, saying everyone knows he is greater than Austin Aries. Aries then made his proposal: Sky is placed in a cage ringside so that she cannot be forced to do anything she doesn’t want to do.

[Q4] Sabin didn’t want to put his girlfriend in a cage, but Sky took the mic and said she will do it. Sky told Sabin that she’s sick of being put in this mess, then said she will put everything to the test next week. And, one last thing. Sky told Sabin that if he doesn’t beat Aries next week, she might have to find someone else to spend her time with.

Backstage: Kurt Angle, now dressed to wrestle, found someone in the hallway, but he did not know where Dixie is. Angle kept his search going.

[Commercial Break at 9:47]

Backstage: An unidentified agent, Simon Diamond, told someone to shoot everything backstage. That’s probably illegal. Diamond then approached Sam Shaw, telling him he looked good a few weeks ago, but he should probably stop eying Christy Hemme during his matches. Shaw ignored him, then waited for Simon to turn around to beat him up. Simon choked on his spit after taking a beating from Shaw, who noted, “And, it’s Samuel.”

Locker Room: Ethan Carter III was preparing to face Sting tonight when TNA champ Magnus walked in. Magnus called him an insecure rookie. ECIII let his insecurity show by saying he isn’t facing A.J. Styles; this is Sting. Magnus replied that he needs to focus on Sting, not his business. ECIII went back to focusing on himself.

In-ring: For the next bit, Bully Ray was introduced to the ring sans in-show hype on his grudge match against Mr. Anderson. Ray stood on the ring entrance, then a man came charging down the ramp and grazed Ray from behind. Ray fell down, then the camera caught Mr. Anderson as the assailant. Anderson probably would have liked a mulligan on the attack. Impact cut to break with Anderson starting a fight ringside.

[Commercial Break at 9:56]

[Q5 — second hour]

2 — BULLY RAY vs. MR. ANDERSON — No DQ match

Back from break, the bell sounded when both men entered the ring to continue their ringside fight. Meanwhile, Tenay and Taz argued about Taz’s association with Bully. Tenay then noted Anderson is still wearing hospital wristbands a few days removed from the birth of his twin babies. Both men fell to the outside, where they retrieved weapons on opposite sides of the ring. Tenay quietly said this is No DQ, which was not announced ahead of time.

Anderosn and Bully met center-ring with weapons in-hand, which led to a stalemate. Anderson then went under the ring, where he retrieved an extra guardrail. Anderson slowly walked toward Ray with a giant target in front of his face, which Ray kicked into Anderson’s body. Ray tried to follow with a running splash, but Anderson moved and Ray face-planted into the rail. Anderson tried to follow with a top-rope splash, but Ray moved and Anderson ate the rail.

Reset, then Anderson dropped Ray with a Mic Check into the rail. But, Ray kicked out of a pin attempt. Anderson then left the ring and retrieved a table from under the ring. Once the table was set up inside the ring, Anderson dropped Ray through a portion of the wood. Anderson covered, but Ray kicked again.

Anderson then went under the ring to retrieve a second table. Anderson again set up the table in the ring, taking too much time, which allowed Ray to snatch Anderson and deliver a high-impact uranage for a nearfall. Ray then left the ring and retrieved lighter fluid. Ray trash-talked Anderson, who then snatched Ray and delivered another Mic Check.

Anderson snapped after Ray’s trash-talk about his family, then picked up the lighter fluid. Anderson doused the second table with lighter fluid, then pulled out a Zippo and held up the flame. But, Ray low-blowed Anderson from behind, then delivered a spike piledriver into the mat. Ray covered for the pin and the win.

Post-match: Bully recovered ringside, using ref Earl Hebner as an aid to keep himself on his feet. TNA replayed the finish of the match, then cut back to Ray wandering aimlessly ringside, selling the effects of the match.

WINNER: Bully at 9:32.

Still to come: Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim for the KO Title. Plus, Sting vs. Ethan Carter III. No indication of whether the top advertised match of Kurt Angle vs. Bobby Roode in a steel cage is taking place.

Backstage: Kurt Angle found Al Snow in catering. Angle grabbed Snow and shoved him against the wall, demanding to know who told him to con him last week. Snow said he has a family to feed and refused to answer. Angle threw him down, then kept walking.

[Commercial Break at 10:11]

[Q6] In-ring: Kurt Angle’s music played back from break. Tenay said a crazed side of Kurt Angle has emerged after Dixie Carter messed with his family. Angle stormed the ring, grabbed a mic, and demanded Dixie Carter answer him. Angle said Dixie is the reason why he came to TNA seven years ago, but now she’s messing with him. And, she’s gone too far. “So, boss, why don’t you come out here because I want some answers.”

Dixie Carter’s music quickly responded to Angle’s ultimatum, bringing out Carter as the announcers talked about Dixie breaking an “unwritten rule” messing with a wrestler’s family. Dixie entered the ring and walked up to Angle. She said there’s a lot going on here and things are changing. “It’s not seven years ago,” Dixie said. Angle said he can see that because the Dixie from seven years is not here right now. Angle accused Dixie of faking an emergency with his wife and kids. Dixie said she did it because she cares about him and his family. “I was just trying to protect you from yourself,” she said.

Angle stepped back, then re-approached Dixie and told her she’s twisted, warped, and out of her mind. Angle said she wants to screw A.J. Styles so badly that she took out half the locker room. Why? Dixie said Angle needs her to look after him because if he got injured, he wouldn’t be able to make her any money. Dixie said she wants Angle to stand by her side, unlike Jeff Hardy. Dixie said it’s best for Angle and best for her team. Angle told “honey” Dixie that he is not on her team.

Angle then brought up the advertised main event, where he’s facing Bobby Roode in a steel cage. Dixie said she thinks Angle is a bit unstable tonight, so she is postponing the match until next week. The crowd booed. Dixie then warned Angle not to get involved in the Sting vs. Ethan Carter III match otherwise his job could be in jeopardy. Angle said this is way bigger than his job, so she can fire him if she wants to, but he’s going to do what’s right.

Dixie said she doesn’t want to have to do this, but she called out security to take Angle out of the ring, saying she doesn’t want to have to do this. Suddenly, Bobby Roode hit the ring and attacked Angle from behind. Dixie told security to let Roode go, then Roode dropped Angle with a Roode Bomb. “Now, please escort Mr. Angle out of the building,” Dixie told security.

Backstage: The audio was off as Jeremy Borash set up a Knockouts interview segment. Madison Rayne started to talk about her Knockouts Title challenge, but Lei’D Tapa and Gail Kim confronted her, then beat her up a little. Madison tried to catch her breath as Gail walked off for the KO Title match.

[Commercial Break at 10:23]

Backstage: Dixie Carter was back on TV. Dixie shouted at ref Earl Hebner that he’s not refereeing the main event tonight after his actions last week. Earl asked who’s going to ref the match if he’s not. Dixie said he’ll just have to find out, then gave him the night off.

In-ring: Christy Hemme was standing by to introduce the Knockouts Title match. Madison came out selling the effects of the pre-match beat down. To the live audience not privy to the backstage pre-tape, they probably thought she had a really bad stomachache. Gail Kim then came out to defend the title, mocking Madison’s… stomachache.

[Q7]

3 — KO champion GAIL KIM (w/Lei’D Tapa) vs. MADISON RAYNE — Knockouts Title match

Gail dominated early on, taking advantage of the pre-mediated attack. Tapa then involved, so ref Brian Stiffler kicked her out from ringside. Gail angrily responded by wrapping Madison around the ringpost. Back in the ring, Gail gloated about her advantage, which allowed Madison to surprise Gail with a quick pin for the win.

WINNER: Madison at 4:06 to capture the Knockouts Title.

Up Next: Sting vs. ECIII.

Backstage: Sting yanked the mic away from Jeremy Borash. Sting said he doesn’t want anyone’s help tonight, saying it’s all about him getting his hands on ECIII tonight.

[Commercial Break at 10:34]

Hype Video: TNA broke from the narrative saying they’re introducing “new characters” and “new stories” with “real” emotion and impact. The latest marketing slogan: “A Real New Era Is Here.”

Backstage: Dixie Carter excitedly addressed “The Wolves,” Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, who made their Impact debut dressed in street clothes. Dixie smiled as she booked them in a try-out match next week, riffing on WWE with an insider reference. Eddie awkwardly looked toward Davey, who played the part better saying they’re past a try-out match, then he handed over TNA contracts they signed this morning. Dixie didn’t understand. Davey told Dixie to look it over, then the Wolves walked off. Dixie opened the envelope, which had a document signed by a “new investor.” Apparently this will introduce a new babyface authority figure to counter Dixie, who then got on her phone to figure out what’s going on.

[ JC’s Reax: Of all the ways to debut the American Wolves – BA babyface tag team in the ring, hired assassin heels destroying folks in the ring, or anything involving a ring, a bell, and a live audience, TNA did the opposite and debuted them in an awkward backstage segment with the mis-cast heel authority figure. ]

In-ring: ECIII was introduced to the ring for the main event. Sting then came out to the ring and took a victory lap around ringside as Taz hyped “Genesis” continuing next week. Once Sting hit the ring, Hemme introduced a special guest referee … pause, then Rockstar Spud came out.

4 — STING vs. ETHAN CARTER III — Rockstar Spud special referee

ECIII claimed a hair pull early on, prompting Spud to reprimand Sting. Sting then went for a corner punch, but Spud yanked his arm back and reprimanded him again. ECIII attacked Sting from behind to take advantage, but Sting knocked ECIII to the floor moments later. Sting then ran Carter into the guardrail before dumping him on the entrance ramp.

Back in the ring, Spud provided another distraction to allow ECIII to take control of the match. Sting came back moments later with the Scorpion Deathlock, but Spud hopped on Sting’s back instead of checking ECIII for a submission. Sting shook everyone off, then hit a Scorpion Deathdrop. Sting made a cover, but Spud refused to count. So, Sting forced Spud down to the mat.

Sting forced a one count, then a two count, but Magnus showed up ringside and yanked ref Spud out of the ring. Magnus then removed his suit jacket to reveal a referee t-shirt. As Sting complained, ECIII rolled up Sting from behind and Magnus registered a fast count for Carter to win.

WINNER: ECIII at 4:54.

Post-match: Magnus sarcastically applauded Sting, who complained about the events. Sting then grabbed the mic and said he wants to fight Magnus. He said he would do anything. Magnus slowly turned around and mouthed: “Anything?” Magnus started walking to the ring as Impact cut to break.

[Commercial Break at 10:49]

Back live, Magnus was posturing on the entrance ramp. Sting spoke over Tenay, who tried to reset the show. Sting then cut a promo on Magnus for spitting in his face. He said Magnus disgraced Styles, Hardy, this belt, these fans, and the wrestling business. He said he is a cancer that needs to be cut out. Sting said he just wants one shot at that World Title.

“Oohhh,” Magnus said, waiting for the offer. Magnus said it’s always about one more title shot. He said Sting gave up the right to compete for the TNA Title ever again, and he owes him nothing. Sting responded that Magnus owes himself. “Don’t you want to be king of the jungle?” Sting asked, channeling Styles two weeks ago. Sting asked Magnus if he wants to earn the World Title.

Sting continued that Magnus is a boy, not a man. Magnus then walked down to the ring as a ringside fan taunted Magnus: “You’re not a man.” Magnus entered the ring and said he gets it that Sting is trying to do the reverse psychology. But, he will make him a deal. Sting said he knows that Dixie is considering extending Sting’s contract, much to his objections. So, they should up the ante. If Sting wins, he becomes TNA champ. If Magnus wins, then he tears that contract to shreds and Sting is done. Sting responded by asking Magnus if he would like to gamble. Magnus took it as an acceptance. He said he can’t wait to tear up the contract, career, life, and career right in front of Sting’s “stupid, painted face.” Sting and Magnus went face-to-face, then Magnus backed up and left the ring. No date was given to the match. Sting’s music then played as the announcers recapped the segment. Tenay then said the match will take place one week from tonight.

Announcers: After everyone left the ring, Tenay and Taz recapped the show and hyped Genesis continuing next week. They set up next week’s card – Angle vs. Roode in a cage, Gunner vs. Storm for Gunner’s TNA Title contract briefcase, Aries vs. Sabin for the X Title, and Sting vs. Magnus for the TNA Title with Sting’s contract on the line. Tenay said Genesis rolls on next week.

Welcome to the first in a series of random match reviews. What you will find in this ongoing feature will be reviews of random matches that have absolutely no connection to each other whatsoever. It’s sort of like a wrestling grab bag if you will.

1. Steve Corino, Rick Steiner, & Ricky Landell vs. Team 3-D & Sabu (Hermie Sadler’s UWF 6/9/07) – 3

The heel team is quite the unique squadron. I have no idea who Ricky Landell is but I bet he’s got a nice headlock. Corino’s hair is almost as yellow as my last piss. Bubba looked like he showed up to work hard, in jeans in a t-shirt. Corino’s team is calling themselves “the Extreme Horsemen”. Excuse me while I have a hearty laugh. Lots of mic work and stalling before the opening bell even tolls. Did I just see a kid come in the ring and give Rick Steiner a DX crotch chop? Of course I did. Action seems to be moving at a snail’s pace with the heel team working chinlocks and Steiner flat backing shit and being a generally grumpy person. I bet he’s the kind of guy who yells at kids to stay off his lawn and if they don’t, he probably chases them down the street with pruning shears threatening to cut their ears off. Hot tag to D-Von was about as warm as snow. Team 3-D seemed content just to ge their stuff in and go back and collect a check. Heel team had some of the weakest punches I’ve seen in a while. Landell’s huge windmill forearms to Sabu’s back looked pathetic. Finishing part was chaotic with everybody brawling aimlessly and wandering around like they were lost in a department store looking for bath towels. Team 3-D won with what else, but the 3-D. I was looking forward to this simply because of how unique it looked on paper but there was absolutely nothing here that I could be bothered to watch again.

2. Big John Studd & Jerry Blackwell vs. Greg Gagne & Jim Brunzell (AWA 2/20/81) – 7

This was everything I like about pro wrestling presented in a nicely wrapped package. Blackwell, a big dude who’s probably an easy 450, attempted a huge standing dropkick. That’s pretty damn impressive. Blackwell was heavily pimped on the official podcast, so here’s hoping that he can show me something as I have never really been impressed by him. Studd came in, pissed as if someone had just stolen his new copy of Jimmy Buffet’s “Coconut Telegraph” album, and just absolutely laid in to Gagne. Funny, never thought of Studd as a parrothead. Brunzell gets the hot tag and comes in gives Studd a fucking ATOMIC DROP but Studd responds with a sick front judo slam. Final segment boiled down to a street fight with all four guys throwing down. Gagne looked surprisingly motivated to beat ass. You MUST see this match!

3. Bam Bam Bigelow, Paul Orndorff, & B.Brian Blair vs. Rusty Brooks, Boris Zhukov, & Cowboy Bob Orton (UWF 4/7/91) – 3

What a strange locale for a six-man tag, outside on the lawn in front of the Nickelodeon Studios in Florida with maybe a handful of people in attendance. Lou Albano is on commentary and extremely annoying, calling Brooks fat and Blair a “buzzing bee”. Most everyone seemed content to rely on punching and forearm blows, although I did see Blair, or was it Orndorff, take a few bodyslams. I couldn’t tell because they were dressed exactly alike and the hard camera was far away. Orton worked the bare minimum causing Capt. Lou on commentary to ask “What’s Orton doing? He getting a suntan?” Bigelow’s offensive flurry at the end was added a nice change to the bland action. Camera completely missed the finish. Points for uniqueness in terms of locale and participants but the action was very droll.

4. Barbed Wire Match: Matt Stryker & Cody Hawk vs. J.T. Stahr & T.J. Dalton (HWA 2004) – 3

This really was not good at all. It was obvious to me that all four guys were limited in what they could do given that the ropes were covered in barbed wire. Another problem was that it went 40 minutes … 40 minutes I tell you! Why on earth anyone would give these guys 40 minutes is beyond me. It’s almost like the guy running the show said “Ok, we’ve got time to kill. Just go out there and fuck around for 40 minutes.” The heels spent the first 10-12 stalling with regional indy schlep manager Brock Guffman pulling out medical gauze and tape from his pants. Also, T.J. Dalton has a ridiculous N*SYNC t-shirt on. Why wear that? Did you want to relive your days from junior high where you pimped the New Kids on the Block tee and got your ass beat by the school bully? Stryker visibly laughed at Stahr’s overselling of the barbed wire barely touching him in the ass. There were no really big bumps, probably the biggest bump of the match was Stahr getting tossed over the top rope on to the floor, and not much blood at all. I give these guys credit for trying but if your looking for Funk/Sabu or Whitmer/Necro levels of brutality and violence, you’d be better off searching someplace else because you won’t find it here.

5. David Flair & Crowbar vs. Lord Steven Regal & Dave Taylor (WCW Saturday Night 1/8/00) – 6

Opening move of this match was awesome as Flair walked up to Taylor and just got blasted with one of the stiffest uppercuts I’ve ever seen. Flair looks like a slob, wrestling in a Nitro Grill t-shirt and jeans. Crowbar’s offense was just nuts, diving off the apron and throwing people into guardrails. Nice top rope double underhook suplex from Regal. Finish looked kind of goofy with Taylor visibly checking to see where the other two were and then giving Flair a suplex a landing in such a way that it was clear Crowbar was going to hit him with a pipe. Aside from that, I really liked this match as it had just about everything.

6. Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Ikuto Hidaka (Zero1 Pro Wrestling Beginning 1/1/11) – 7

I remember Hidaka from the long forgotten MLW back in 02-03. He had a war here with regining ZERO-1 champ Daisuke Sekimoto (who by the way is sporting the old AWA World Title belt). The match started off slow with some mat work, the highlight of which was them exchaning necktie chokes. Sekimoto’s facials in the first half left a lot to be desired and his face was just sort of blank in comparison to Hidaka’s facials which were fantastic throughout. Judging by the crowd reaction, I’m guessing that Sekimoto is working heel here. The middle part of the bout was Hidaka working over Sekimoto’s knee, which he convieniently forgot to sell on offense until Hidaka locked him in a figure four, which he sold with deep, guttural screams like a bear caught in a trap in the woods. The match really kicked into high gear beginning with an awesome sequence that saw them trade standing switches to begin with and culminated in Sekimoto getting the upper hand and laying out Hidaka with a spine-breaking sit out powerbomb for a nearfall that had the crowd on the edge of their seat. This was followed up by a frog splash from Sekimoto and a high kick from Hidaka. Hidaka got really close to a submission with the ankle lock (which he added to by trying to knot up his oppoent’s hamstrings) and Sekimoto got two really close nearfalls with a lariat and a German suplex. The finish was wild. Sekimoto had Hidaka up on his shoulders, tossed him in the air, and the caught him and executed an ill German suplex. Highly recommended that you seek this match out.

The Soap Box: The WWE Network vs. PPV

WWE Network vs. Pay-Per-View

The WWE Network is the talk of the town and everyone is making their own judgment. Will this usher in a new era for wrestling and beyond or is it the next XFL? It’s too early to predict the extent that such an undertaking will reach. However, it is clear that cable and satellite providers are going to take a financial loss because this network will change the landscape of Pay-Per-View in one form or another.

Growing up, I hated missing Pay-Per-View events as my parents could only afford a handful a year. Today, as an adult, I’m only interested in watching Summer Slam, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania. The other nine events are nothing special and not worth the suggested retail price. A lot of fans feel this way which is why the buy rates have dropped over the years. In response to the network announcement, DirecTV stated the audience for WWE events “has been steadily declining, and this new low-cost competitive offering will only accelerate this trend.”

Some believe the pay-per-view event model of distributing content is out dated. I think it is simply a matter of today’s WWE product being antiquated for the private telecast. The company has found their niche with the PG era and they’ve gained a more respectable business reputation and access to new revenue streams as a result. The trade-off is that they’re handcuffed creatively which has led to more emphasis towards television than pay-per-view.

It makes sense considering millions of people watch Raw and Smackdown, but the content that goes with a PG rating has made it so that paying for matches that air on TV several times a year is not as appealing as it once was. Floyd Mayweather will always draw high numbers on PPV because it is the only way you can see him fight. Plus, the dynamic of Boxing doesn’t change. The dynamic of WWE does and their current direction has made it so professional wrestling no longer lends itself to pay-per-view.

WWE Network is a wrestling fan’s dream, but there is one thing the company must do to ensure its future. They need to get WrestleMania 30 right. The monthly price tag of $9.99 along with being able to see WrestleMania 30 at no extra cost is the reason many will pay their hard-earned money at launch. If they, even remotely, have the same difficulties as they did with last year’s live stream of WrestleMania, consumer confidence in the network will be lost before it ever gets a chance to spread its wings.

Pay-Per-View is the workhorse that has served Vince McMahon well so I’d be hard pressed to believe that he didn’t see this coming. He has scratched and clawed to make WWE an esteemed global brand in pop culture. McMahon knows he is biting the hand that feeds him by turning the pay-per-view platform into a ridiculously exorbitant option. High risk means high reward and this is arguably the biggest risk he has ever taken with his company. If the network is successful, it changes everything. If it fails, WWE might be at the mercy of cable and satellite providers. No matter how you slice it, something tells me that February 24, 2014 will no doubt be a historic day.

-Can’t speak to whether that match took place; it was between Larry Z’s runs as AWA world champ, so not a title match.

Sketchy reports, but the

After folding in 1990, Verne Gegne would continue to run random shows throughout the early 1990’s. While these shows weren’t necessarily always ran under the “AWA” banner, they were Gagne promoted events. As I receive info on these shows I will add them below. Big thanks to the records of James Zordani for this help.

From 1994,

Jan. 22, Verne Gagne promoted a guaranteed show paid for by Treasure Island Casino in Red Wing, Minn. Attendance was free and the show, which was heavily advertised in the local papers in the preceding week, was used to draw new customers to the highly competitive casino industry in Minnesota. An estimated 700 were allowed to enter the facility before they closed the doors, turning away hundreds, many of whom went next door to gamble.

1/22/94 – Steve “The Viking” Berg beat Randy Gust, “Mean” Mike Enos beat Baron Von Raschke, Larry Zbyszko beat Repoman, and Jim Brunzell & B. Brian Blair beat The Texas Hangmen in the four-match, one hour card.

American Wrestling Association Dec. 18 at the Treasure Island Casino in Minnesota, the AWA held their second four-match card for free for patrons of the casino. Mike Enos pinned Buck Zumhoff, Erik Watts pinned Wayne Bloom when Mike Enos interfered, Bobby Darren & Karate Kid beat Little Tokyo & Cowboy Lance, and Larry Zbyszko pinned Tito Santana when special referee Nick Bockwinkel made the three count. Lots of restholds throughout, especially in the main event. About 345 were in attendance. Verne Gagne was in attendance behind the scenes.

Last month at the same location in front of around 400, Baron Von Raschke (virtually immobile) beat “Hater” Jamie Magnum, Jerry Lynn beat J.B. Trask, Destruction Crew (Enos & Bloom) beat Erik Watts & Chad Fortune, and Santana beat Zbyszko via DQ when Zbyszko hit Bockwinkel.

American Wrestling Association Jan. 22 at Treasure Island Casino in Minnesota (375), Jerry Lynn wrestled J.B. Trask to a draw (Lynn was pinning Trask as the time limit expired, although the three count should have fit in before the bell rang), The Evil Clown pinned Randy Gusto, Candi Devine pinned Peggy Lee Leather to retain the AWA Treasure Island Womens Title, and Larry Zbyszko defeated Wahoo McDaniel
