"Where Boys Fear to Tread" match - knockouts only match

"Blank Page" match - there's no script for this match, Pope!

"The End is the Beginning is the End" - match starts with a pinfall, only ends when one participant makes his way to the back

"Shame", "Behold! The Night Mare", "Dross", "Pox", "Crestfallen", "Ugly", "Apathy's Last Kiss", "Towers of Rabble", "Doomsday Clock" - TNA

In fairness, they always talked about board geeks on the show back then. Like, who the gently caress is Anchor?

he spent real money for shoutouts to be read on every show and started all of them with PLEASE PLAY THE AWO THEME SONG. Then they would.

In a parallel universe Alex Jones dated Lita and Edge slept with her. I would like to know how Alex Jones would have handled this, in contrast to how Matt handled it. I also wonder if Alex Jones would have agreed to be jobbed out at SummerSlam.

Well, for one thing, Alex Jones would've cut a much better promo than Matt Hardy when they brought him back for the Edge feud.

That was so embarrassing for Matt, especially when Edge cut a promo later completely schooling him.

It really was, that was the beginning of a rough few years for Matt. I really respect him for turning it around. He's come a long way from cutting promos on cardboard cutouts of ex-gf's.

Here's the promo Shine and I are talking about, if you don't know. There's about 2min of Vince being Vince preceding it (featuring the line, "I never let my ego get in the way of business").


Back on topic: I recall one "MMA Rules" match between AJ and Joe, but simple googling brings up the new title. I just don't care enough to google deeper than a page. Were there any others? Was Bas Rutten ever involved, or was that wishful thinking on my part?

No, he wasn't, sadly.

I don't remember AJ vs Joe under those rules, but the most famous "MMA Rules" match in TNA was the shitshow of AJ Styles vs Frank Trigg.

Jeff Jarrett had a period where he pretended to be an MMA guy, which included very good training vids

You're right! It'd been a while. I probably confused Trigg with Butten too (again, not a resemblance but more wishful thinking). I do remember reading descriptions of fans just making GBS threads all over it.

Do you think TNA fans in attendance will ever care enough to chant "Fire Corgan"?

Oh man, that poo poo show. I wanna blame WWE for dropping the ball on what should have been a hot feud, but Matt killed it dead with that promo. Cuckolded by a good friend, then fired, and that's the best he could do?
