My TNA Archive Catch-up, Victory Road PPV 04

X Division Gauntlet Cup 20 Man Battle Royal, Kazarian vs Sonjay Dutt kicks it off - The match works like this, 2 men start in the ring then every 60 seconds someone comes in to join them with elimination coming from going over the top rope to the floor until the last 2 where its a standard match with pinfall or submission to take the win & earn the cup. Next guy in to join them was Puma, next in was L.A Park (formerly known from WCW as La Parka), next in was Jerrelle Clark (I dont even think West or Tenay even said his name, they were just referring to him by his nickname which I had to Google), next in was Miyamoto, next in was Michael Shane (Kazarians tag partner who came down with Tracey) who was helped by Kazarian to eliminate Puma closely followed by Jerrelle Clarke & Miyamoto just as quickly.
Next in was Hector Garza, next in was Nosawa, next in was Mikey Batts, next in was an almost unrecognisable Alex Shelley who eliminated Sonjay Dutt who was closely followed out by LA Park eliminated by Kazarian, next in was Matt Sydal followed a minute later by Sonny Siaki who eliminated Nosawa & Mikey Batts a few moments later. Next in was Jason Cross followed by Shark Boy, Matt Sydal was illegally eliminated by Alex Shelly from outside the ring and next in was Psicosis followed a minute later by D-Ray 3000 (Shark Boys tag partner) although he and Shark Boy were eliminated by Sonny Siaki within moments.
Next in was Amazing Red and Alex Shelley was eliminated by Jason Cross a few seconds after that, next in was Spanky (Brian Kendrick) and the last guy to enter having earned the final slot was Chris Sabin who double teamed with Spanky and they both eliminated Sonny Siaki. Spanky eliminated Michael Shane who definately hurt himself taking a wickedly hard bump on the ringside mats and possibly a bit of the concrete too, pretty much everyone Power Suplexed Kazarian in a Mega Tower Of Doom then Psicosis eliminated Jason Cross but was eliminated himself by Amazing Red a short while later and Amazing Red was eliminated by Kazarian really quickly after that. Spanky was eliminated by Chris Sabin who was eliminated by Hector Garza leaving it as Garza vs Kazarian with Hector Garza taking the win by reversing a Side Roll.
8 Man Tag Match, The Naturals (Chase Stevens & Andy Douglas), Kid Kash & Dallas vs Erik Watts, Empire Saint Pat Kenney (aka Simon Diamond), Johnny B. Badd & Ron "The Truth" Killings - Dallas would eventually go on to change his name to Lance Hoyt, he's working for WWE currently. Truth took the win off a Double Underhook Slam off Chase Stevens.
Piritita Morgan vs Mascaritas Sagrada - Oh dear, TNA stooping to Midget Wrestling and Lucha Midgets at that. Sagrada took the win.
Scott Hall comes out to waffle on the mic.
NWA World Tag Team Title, 3 Live Kru (Konnan & BG James) vs Team Canada (Bobby Roode & Eric Young with Coach Scott D'Amore) - Konnan took the win from Roode and 3LK are new NWA Tag Champions.
Rowdy Roddy Piper comes out and does a Pipers Pit with Superfly Jimmy Snuka.
Trinity (with Glenn Gilberti & Johnny Swinger) vs Jaqueline - This wasn't a half bad match but after interferences from Swinger Trinity took the win off a Reverse Moonsault.
Monsters Ball Match, Abyss vs Raven vs Monty Brown - By the looks of it this was your basic Hardcore match, anything goes No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere. Abyss took a great Powerbomb off Raven into Thumbtacks but Monty Brown took the win after hitting The Pounce on Raven through a table. Dixie Carter was visible (looking horrified) in the audience behind the ring several times during this match.
X Division Championship, AJ Styles vs Petey Williams (with Coach Scott D'Amore) - Williams took the win off The Canadian Destroyer to retain his title.
Last Team Standing Match, Triple X (Christopher Daniels & Elix Skipper) vs AMW - AMW took the win after Chris Harris nailed Skipper with the Catatonic into a chair for the pin & Skipper was unable to answer the 10 count.
Dusty Rhodes is named Director Of Authority.
NWA World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match, Jeff Hardy vs Jeff Jarrett - Jarrett retained the title after interference from Scott Hall then Kevin Nash in their run as The Outsiders. A run-in by AJ Styles failed to save Hardy as did run-ins from BG James, Konnan & Ron Killings leaving Hall & Nash standing tall until the music of none other than Randy Savage hit and he came in looking the same as he did in the Spiderman Movie.
