My TNA Archive Catch-up, Show 55 23 Jul 03

Jeremy Borash is ring ammouncer, Don West & Mike Tenay are on colour.
NWA Heavyweight Championship Best Of 3 Match Series, D-Lo Brown vs AJ Styles (with Trinity) - Match 1 on Pinfalls. Styles takes the pin after Trinity distracts the ref on the apron long enough for Sonny Siaki to run in and hit a Pumphandle Piledriver.
Elix Skipper vs Mad Mikey - Mikey will be better known to WWE viewers as Crash Holly but Skipper took the win off some spinning slam move I have never seen before but it was amazing.
Handicap Match, Legend vs Altar Boy Luke & Matt Sydal - After 2 stunners Legend took the win even though Jeff Jarrett had come out onto the ramp to distract him.
NWA Heavyweight Championship Best Of 3 Match Series, D-Lo Brown vs AJ Styles (with Trinity) - Match 2 on Submissions. This one started on the entrance ramp with Sonny Siaki being sent back to the locker room. After reversing the Sharpshooter Brown took the submission off a Sharpshooter of his own.
Nurse Veronica and Valentina (the previously unnamed Cheerleader from last week) announce they are known as The Bitch Slap Girls.

Nurse Veronica and Valentina vs Lollipop & April Pennington - Technically not an officially sanctioned match as Ref Rudy Charles seemingly decided to let them go at it after 3 weeks of p**sing about. The Dancers were on top until Trinity did a run-in pretty much knocking them both out herself.
3 Live Kru do yet more c**p proving TNA had no work for them. Glenn Gilberti tries to make Borash look stupid and gets pantsed by AMW for his trouble.
Tag Team Championship, AMW vs Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger - This one started with Swinger & Diamond jumping AMW while they were working over Gilberti. This wasn't a great match ending in a DQ after Gilberti ran in with a bullrope so AMW retained the titles.
6 Man Tag Match, The Disciples Of the New Church (Brian Lee & Slash with Father James Mitchell) & Shane Douglas vs Julio Deniro, CM Punk & Raven. This one was pretty crap and broke down with Douglas bailing & Raven following him to the entrance only for an arm to appear and drag Raven away. Punk was almost cut in half off a Doomsday Device from Douglas, Raven eventually came back crawling to the ring face coated in blood to fight off all Mitchells team DDT'ing everyone before Douglas eventually speared him through an upright table to take the win.
Mike Tenay introduces various NWA legends who are:- Sara Lee, Corsica Joe, Ricky Morton, Larry Zbyszko & Harley Race. Eric Watts is appointed the Director Of Authority.
NWA Heavyweight Championship Best Of 3 Match Series, D-Lo Brown vs AJ Styles (with Trinity) - Match 3 is a Ladder Match. Styles took the win off possibly the worst and most chickens**t ref decision by Rudy Charles I have ever heard.
