TNA Wrestling: A New Journey

[Dexter Bale]

"A NEW JOURNEY"​

The date is June 13th, 2010 and Total Nonstop Action have just finished their first Slammiversary pay-per-view event under the guidance of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. The current TNA roster seemed to be the most talent-packed it had ever been boasting a competitive main event scene, an exciting X-Division and the World's best woman and tag team divisions. Ever since reverting back to Thursday nights on Spike TV in early May, Impact! had picked up steam and the ratings were slowly starting to rise. Slammiversary had been well received but it's clear something still isn't clicking for TNA. President Dixie Carter decided that a few big changes needed to be implemented into her company to ensure ratings keep rising to what they once were and to present TNA with the platform to launch the ratings higher once they regain their former ratings. Perhaps the biggest move Dixie Carter made to the TNA landscape was to convince Spike TV to issue a new program for TNA; Revolution which is set to run for 2 hours every Saturday Night @ 9 p.m on a temporary 24-week slot. Due to the excellent time-slot given to Revolution by TNA, Dixie has made it abundantly clear that the level of quality expected from Revolution will be on par to that of Impact!'s. Another change implemented - heavily credited to Bischoff - is that Impact! will be now live each and every week. Revolution is set to be taped earlier in the week and aired on Saturday night's on tape delay. Dixie Carter also announced that seven Impact!'s, four Revolution's and two PPV's for the remainder of 2010 are set to be held outside of The Impact Zone in Florida. A buzz is generating in the TNA locker-room and everybody is firmly behind the new changes taking place in TNA.

NOTES FROM THE SHOW:
★I changed the original result of the Knockout match as if Roxxi lost her contract was terminated. After the match as Roxxi was celebrating she was joined in the ring by former TNA employee and long-term friend Alissa Flash.
★Brother Ray looked set to defeat Jesse Neal but got distracted by Tommy Dreamer who debuted in TNA by standing in the crowd and staring down at Ray.
★As Matt Morgan tried to make his escape after getting intentionally disqualified against Hernandez, Homicide made his TNA return intercepting Morgan on the ramp and nailing him with a chair-shot. Homicide and Hernandez celebrated in the ring as the crowd chanted L.A.X.
★Beer Money were originally scheduled to face The Band for the TNA Tag Team Championships but the death of a close personal friend to both Scott Hall and Kevin Nash meant that the champions couldn't attend the event.
