RIP TNA: A Memorial - Part 3

In a continuations of my tearful send off of TNA, the match I want to share with you today is America's Most Wanted versus Triple X in six sides (count them) of steel. The rivalry between Triple X and AMW came a head after a two year build-up in this match match, which can be fairly described as one of the craziest cage matches in TNA history.

Greatest Matches Ever! America's Most Wanted versus Triple X, TNA Turning Point, Dec, 2004

Before Beer Money, James Storm, alongside Chris Harris, was one half of one of the greatest tag teams in TNA history: America's Most Wanted. These guys had great chemistry and they looked like bad asses. Today I want to share one of their best matches, a cage match against Triple X (Elix Skipper and Christopher Daniels). The stipulation for the match was that the losers of this match would have to disband. Enjoy!

Greatest Matches Ever! ROH: Samoa Joe vs CM Punk (October 2004)

Before CM Punk was everyone's leasr favourite savior and before Samoa Joe was in dire need of some sit-ups, they were some of the best up-and-comers on the ROH roster. For those not familiar with Ring of Honor (ROH), think of an indie promotion run by Jim Cornette, which as had top names on its roster including CM Punk, Brian Danielson, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Nigel McGuinees (AKA Desmond Wolfe), to name a few.

I watched a shoot interview recently from around 2005 with Joe and Punk talking about this match. They did three one hour matches together for the ROH championship, the second being my favourite. According to the interview, both Joe and Punk had gone into this match injured, and what's more, the match was booked at short notice and the match came as a suprise to the fans at the event as the match wasn't advertised on the card. With only a few minutes contact between Joe and Punk to plan any ideas for the match, it is suprising that they put on a decent match at all. On paper we have the potential for a train wreck match, but in reality it is one of the best matches I've ever seen. Watch it and enjoy the drama.
