My TNA Archive Catch-up, Show 53 09 Jul 03

This is the oldest TNA show I own back when they did weekly PPV shows from The Asylum in Nashville - TNA had no weekly tv show at all then and was ONLY available by purchase, if this is show 53 then TNA were 1 year and 1 week old on this very show.

Show starts with a catch-up of what happened the previous week:- Father James Mitchell & Shane Douglas attack CM Punk, New Jack took on Sandman in the finals of the HARD 10, Abyss took on Eric Watts with Kid Kash ringside, Tracey & Nurse Veronica made an open challenge, Justin Credible faced Jerry Lynn in a chain match & Jeff Jarrett confronted Vince Russo.

Don West (in a horrible yellow shirt & tie) & Mike Tenay (who looks VERY overdressed) are manning the colour desk.

Tag Team Championship, Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger (With Glenn Gilberti) vs Americas Most Wanted (Wildcat Chris Harris & The Cowboy James Storm) - Gilberti is probably better known to fans as WCW's Disco Inferno. Chris Harris made the pin & AMW retained the title.

Joe Legend rants on the mic & Vince Russo parodies Jeff Jarretts old WCW gimmick.

6 Way X Division #1 Contenders Match, Kid Romeo vs Matt Sydal vs Altar Boy Luke vs Delerious vs Matt Stryker vs Frankie Kazarian - Prime Time Elix Skipper joins the colour desk. Sydal might be better known to WWE fans as Evan Bourne, ROH fans will certainly know Delerious. Frankie Kazarian took the win to become #1 Contender.

X Division Championship, Frankie Kazarian vs Chris Sabin - This match started literally seconds after the previous match finished, obviously Sabin took the win to retain his title.

Dancer Lollipop calls out Nurse Veronica but its broken up by Security. Mike Tenay interviews James Mitchell.

Julio Dinero (with Alexis Laree) vs Shane Douglas - Laree might be better known to WWE fans as a pre breast implanted Mickie James, Douglas took the win off a nice Belly To Belly Suplex.

"Heavy D" Don Harris (with Ron Harris) vs Shark Boy - Harris took the rather predictable win followed by a beatdown on Shark Boy from both of the Harris boys.

3 Live Kru (Konnan, BG James & Ron "The Truth" Killings) do some comedy news skit.

Kid Kash (with Abyss) vs Jerry Lynn - Kash took the win after interference from both Abyss & Justin Credible. Abyss sold a wicked Hurricanrana off Lynn though!

The Sandman receives his HARD 10 trophy only to be squashed by Edward Chastain accompanied by ECW's Don Callis.

NWA Heavyweight Championship, D-Lo Brown vs AJ Styles - Styles won to retain his title after interference from Trinity & Sonny Siaki.
