NWA-TNA PPV report
October 8, 2003
Live from Nashville, Tenn.

-Jeff Jarrett opened the show with a promo in the ring calling out Dusty Rhodes and saying just like other icons such as Hulk Hogan and Macho Man, he's just in it for himself - specifically complaining about getting himself an NWA Title match this week. He said in two weeks he'll either face Dusty or A.J. Styles, and either way he'll win the title.

(1) Red Shirted Security (w/Don Callis) beat D-Lo Brown & Chris Vaughn. Afterward, Erik Watts saved D-Lo and Vaughn from a post-match attack.

Mike Tenay said they had a major announcement later about the future of TNA.

A pre-taped interview aired with Dusty who talked about first winning the NWA Title in 1979 and how he might have one more big win him.

(2) Michael Shane pinned Chris Sabin with a handful of tights to retain the X Title and win possession of the Super X trophy in 7:00.

Glenn Gilberti, Johnny Swinger, and Simon Diamond tried to convince David Young that they hit him with a chair last week because they like him.

(3) Glen Gilberti & Johnny Swinger & Simon Diamond beat 3 Live Krew in an elimination match in 11:00.

James Mitchell cut a promo on The New Church.

(4) Christopher Daniels pinned Frankie Kazarian in 6:00 after interference from Daniels's minion at ringside.

Hudson interviewed Raven backstage about facing Sin later.

(5) America's Most Wanted beat Kid Kash & Abyss in 7:00. Really good tag. Afterward, Kash slapped around Abyss. and Abyss finally fought back.

Douglas said he is looking for someone outside of the business to turn into the next Franchise.

(6) Raven pinned Sin. Afterward, he was hanged again by the heels, but C.M. Punk made the save.

Tenay officially announced (as if the NWA-TNA website announcement wasn't official) the Nov. 30 mega-PPV.

(7) A.J. Styles pinned Dusty Rhodes when he passed out during a figure-four at 15:47. Dusty got really winded and needed long rest periods. He literally sat down during the match several times, yet the finish was designed (at his insistence, I would asume) was presented by Tenay as a fluke with Tenay pointing out that Styles had tapped out to Dusty earlier but the ref didn't see it. Styles in a weird way still got a rub from this match with Dusty.

Afterward Russo, Styles, Trinity, Ekmo, and Siaki attacked Dusty. AMW and Jarrett made the save. Russo insisted he'd prevent Jarrett from winning the NWA Title on Oct. 22. Dusty set up a match with him and AMW vs. Russo & Ekmo & Siaki next week.
