It's Damn Real!
The undisputed, undefeated TNA &
Live Discussion for September 24th, 2014
Tonight, TNA Wrestling presents IMPACT on Spike TV. The show tonight presents 10 TNA
superstars with the opportunity of a lifetime. However, only 1 superstar will be able
to mine his way through The Manhattan Center in New York City leaving with a
guaranteed Championship match. It's appropriately called the "NYC Gold Rush."
As the sun sets on our summer in NYC so too will the dreams of 9 TNA Wrestlers. As
per Executive Director Kurt Angle, tonight there will be 5 qualifying encounters,
pitting 10 of TNA's best in one on one competition. The winners advance to a chaotic,
frantic & One Fall to a Finish finale that will surely be brutal.
Why would these men put themselves in such a violent affair? For the prize! The
winner earns a guaranteed Championship Opportunity, at anytime, for ANY Championship
he sees fit for the taking.
In an opening contest, it will be Austin Aries facing off against Knux. The former TNA
World Heavyweight Champion Aries comes into the match as a favorite, but Knux will be
looking to quickly move back up the ranks of the TNA elite by knocking off one of the
brightest stars in TNA!
Knux also enters the bout with a gigantic size advantage against Austin Aries. No matter
who prevails, one thing is for sure: whoever wins this match becomes a clear favorite
for the remainder of the tournament!
The Japanese Buzzsaw is one of the most lauded wrestlers to come from the Land of the
Rising Sun. Throughout his storied career, Tajiri has held 18 championships across the
globe. Most recently, he made his IMPACT debut, teaming with Austin Aries to take on
James Storm and The Great Sanada. Now, Tajiri makes his return to the IMPACT ring to
compete in the NYC Gold Rush Tournament.
His opponent is former TNA World Tag Team Champion (and upcoming Amazing Race
participant) Robbie E. Robbie enters the match, hungry for another opportunity at
TNA Gold after losing the Tag Titles to The Wolves earlier this year.
The question is: should Robbie E win the tournament, would he use his title shot to
go after the Heavyweight or X Titles? Or will he and Jessie go after the Tag Titles
one more time?
In a match that is sure to be an instant highlight reel, one of the most anticipated NYC
Gold Rush battles will be between MVP and Low Ki.
MVP was scheduled to face-off for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship back in June
at Slammiversary, but an injury put him on the shelf and left him unable to compete.
MVP clearly has title plans for himself, but what happens if he wins the tournament?
Will he challenge his associate Lashley for the title? Or will he look to strengthen
their grip on TNA by challenging for another belt?
Low Ki has been chasing the X-Division Title since returning to IMPACT. Coming up short
at No Surrender against Samoa Joe, Low Ki surely wants another shot at X-Division gold.
