OFFICIAL LIVE TNA “AGAINST ALL ODDS" RESULTS ON THE FLY
Sunday, February 12, 2006 – Orlando, FL
By: Marcus Cygy
The second annual TNA "Against All Odds" Pay-Per-View opened tonight with the 30-Minute Free Preshow hosted by Jeremy Borash!
We started off by reviewing the comments made by both Jeff Jarrett and Christian Cage concerning the events leading up to tonight’s match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title.
PRESHOW:
RON “THE TRUTH” KILLINGS vs. A1
Before the match even got started, all members of Team Canada were sent to the back. This match was of really high importance for Ron “The Truth” Killings because he’s still in proving grounds with being back in singles competition. The former 2-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion was keeping the big powerhouse in A1 grounded as much as he could. He used such great agility and athleticism in taking A1 down with spinning kicks. In the end, it was the Axe Kick putting A1 in a dormant state for the victory.
Winner: Ron “The Truth” Killings
PRESHOW:
“THE PRINCE OF PUNK” SHANNON MOORE & THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH (ELIX SKIPPER & DAVID YOUNG) w/ SIMON DIAMOND vs. LANCE HOYT, SHARK BOY, & CASSIDY RILEY
Shannon Moore began this match off against the follower of Raven, Cassidy Riley. Riley showed great aerial ability by hitting off a moonsault off the ropes early on. Shark Boy was then tagged in to take a bite out of David Young. He suffered a few puncture wounds by Shark Boy stemming off a few misses by David Young including a missed leg drop from the top rope, but his spinebuster was the only thing not missed. Elix Skipper then took a tag that Shannon Moore wanted. Primetime had the offensive momentum and gave a quick tag back to David Young and again Moore wanted the tag but didn’t get it. Just after a mid-ring clothesline by Young, he tagged Skipper yet again. At this point “The Prince of Punk” was growing infuriated and blindly tagged Skipper to get himself in. He t-boned Shark Boy right overhead and followed up with a variation of the abdominal stretch. Lance Hoyt later came in during some miscommunication on the opposing team and took everyone out. Cassidy Riley also came in and at this point everything was let loose. Riley took a hard fall outside and then out of nowhere, Shannon Moore threw his own members out of the ring and went for a single leg crab on Hoyt to try and get the win. Skipper broke that and then suffered the Texas Towerbomb as Shannon Moore was seen heading to the back.
Winners: Lance Hoyt, Shark Boy, & Cassidy Riley
JB was backstage with Larry Zbyszko in his office along with Dave Hebner. Larry told us that tonight for Jeff Jarrett vs. Christian Cage there would be no interference, no illegal weapons used, and the referee situation is taken care of. Jeremy Borash asked about the referee situation but Larry and Dave Hebner had to leave to take care of some other important business.
The paid portion of tonight’s “Against All Odds” Pay-Per-View now kicked off with footage from earlier tonight showing the arrivals of Christian Cage and Jeff Jarrett. D’Amore told Eric Young not to mention about Sting, not tonight. Jarrett said life is good without Sting and that’s when Eric Young got worried, he had to let Jarrett know that Sting isn’t gone and he did as you could see D’Amore behind Jarrett doing hand motions to zip it. Jarrett reiterated just like time after time that Sting is finished and gone for good. He made Eric Young repeat his words to get it straight in his head.
The fans now erupted before a fireworks display signifying the official start of tonight's Pay-Per-View!
AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG vs. THE NATURALS (CHASE STEVENS & ANDY DOUGLAS)
It was a rematch stemming from the beginning of the Tag Team Tournament on iMPACT! two weeks ago on Spike TV. The former 2-time NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Naturals were quick to dominate this match in the opening minutes. From clotheslines to double team suplexes, they were on top. Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens traded off with quick tags while they worked on taking down Austin Aries. With Austin Aries and Roderick Strong though, the squeaky wheel gets the grease when it comes to tight situations and tonight is no exception. During each pin attempt by The Naturals, we saw either Roderick Strong or Austin Aries coming in for the save. This caused Douglas to knock the two out while Chase Stevens hit off a Shooting Star Press taking them down. During the later parts of this match, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong began to change the complexion of this match in their favour. Austin Aries went through the ropes like a bullet onto Chase Stevens sending his head down hard on the concrete flooring. It became a match of dirty tactics enabling domination on the part of Aries and Strong. The Naturals had one more burst of momentum in their engine but the fuel was all burnt out when Chase Stevens was knocked to the outside and the double team on Andy Douglas was performed. Later though, Austin found himself in the Natural Disaster and just like two weeks ago, Roderick Strong pulled Andy out and Austin tried the roll up pin with the ropes assist but the referee caught that this time. Seconds later, the Natural Disaster was successfully executed for the victory.
Winners: The Naturals
Backstage was Jeremy Borash with America’s Most Wanted and Team Canada in the locker room. Chris Harris guaranteed victory against Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt tonight. Scott D’Amore later wanted a public apology from Gail Kim and received it. D’Amore had the tape that he received from Alex Shelley. Larry Z along with Dave Hebner by his side told all members in the locker room that if anyone interferes tonight for the NWA World Heavyweight Title match that they would be fired from TNA.
It was now time for four hungry men to enter the six sided ring. This is their time to shine and prove to TNA management that they have what it takes to be contenders for the X-Division Championship too. Their time is now!
X-DIVISION FOUR-WAY MATCH:
PETEY WILLIAMS vs. MATT BENTLEY vs. ALEX SHELLEY vs. JAY LETHAL
Before the match got started, Matt Bentley jumped over the guardrail and participated with the fans in the Bentley Bounce. Petey Williams began the match against Matt Bentley as the two traded off various moves and counters with Bentley getting the upper momentum stemming off of a vertical suplex. Petey later went to sing O’ Canada but Traci appeared to be a distraction for him and that allowed Matt Bentley to gain back his advantage in the match. Alex Shelley was now in the ring on the receiving end of Bentley’s deep arm drag. Jay Lethal shortly thereafter got his first taste in the match against Alex Shelley as he started with a leg sweep and the two began to mirror image each other with their moves and that received an ovation from the fans. Petey Williams and Alex Shelley began to form a double team program against Jay Lethal midway through the match. With all the abuse Jay Lethal was receiving, he wasn’t going to give up. Petey and Shelley continued their unofficial teamwork on Jay. Matt Bentley stood in his corner while the fight was occurring, he was playing his cards right in a situation like this because it’s really every man for himself in the end. Petey and Shelley then broke into an argument and before you know it, Matt Bentley was there to break that up and now he was in favour of winning this match. Just after a suplex by Lethal on Shelley into a pinning position, Matt Bentley hit off an elbow from the top rope and now this match was anyone’s ball game. The match took a turn once Bentley was sent out with Lethal then taking Shelley and Petey out. Shelley however with his European mixed style took Jay over the rope and into a DDT. Petey later motioned for the Canadian Destroyer on Bentley and that’s when Jackie Gayda came down and slapped Alex Shelley. Petey was laughing at Shelley as Jay Lethal came in and took advantage with a pin on Petey for the win after being flipped over by Bentley.
Winner: Jay Lethal
For the better part of 2005 we have seen the consistent roller coaster going up and down the tracks when it came to the 3Live Kru’s loyalty towards one another. Then later with the addition of Kip James, it became the 4Live Kru. However, that contiguous agreement of four wasn’t seen fit for Konnan and the group quickly disbanded late 2005. Not even the help of one “Bullet” Bob Armstrong could feather back the crew, so Konnan founded a new familia in LAX with Apolo and Homicide while BG James went back to his roots with Kip James to form The James Gang. Ron “The Truth” Killings was the only one that had enough of this situation and had the move on, he’s the lone dove now on the highroad trying to get his shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Title again someday. But tonight reputations and bragging rights are on the line, can The James Gang surpass the odds of numbers against The Latin American Express, or will they fall victim and lose their coveted fame? It’s the Challenge Match of The Latin American Express vs. The James Gang next!
CHALLENGE MATCH:
THE LATIN AMERICAN EXPRESS (HOMICIDE & MACHETE) vs. THE JAMES GANG (BG JAMES & KIP JAMES)
Before Kip James could get some words in on the microphone after BG James, it was LAX coming in for the behind the back attack. Once the dust was settled, Kip James started the match against Homicide. Moments later, Machete, the newest member of LAX then had his first share of action against BG James in his TNA debut. Konnan continually tried getting his cheap shots in whenever he could so The James Gang used the strategy of keeping their opponents in their corner of the six sided ring. Homicide ran into the ring though and together with Machete they threw Kip out of the ring and that’s when Konnan was able to get his cheap shots in again. It was the unfair numbers game enforced as usual. Konnan later was seen biting Kip James when the referee was trying to put BG back in his corner. The LAX was just going at The James Gang with gutless aggression but in the end it was the Pump Handle Slam on BG's behalf that won the match for The James Gang.
Winners: The James Gang
After the match, Konnan was treating BG James with such disrespect right in his face. The 60+ year old man, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong then came into the match, the father of BG. Bob challenged Konnan but he chickened out and left with his familia.
Ever since the fans decided for Team 3D to face Team Canada, AMW have been left without opponents for Against All Odds and various teams came at Larry Zbyszko to try and freely pick up the title shot against America’s Most Wanted. Not that easy boys – Larry created a tournament that took place over the course of the past two weeks which saw Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt overcoming Austin Aries & Roderick Strong in the final of the 4-Team Tournament. Will America’s Most Wanted continue their dominance in the tag team ranks or will Chris Sabin & Sonjay Dutt pull a shocker against these odds and bring the NWA World Tag Team Titles to the X-Division? Find out next!
NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
AMERICA’S MOST WANTED (CHRIS HARRIS & JAMES STORM) (c) vs. CHRIS SABIN & SONJAY DUTT
James Storm started with Chris Sabin and he tried hooking the ankle but Sabin was too quick and dodged every attempt. He then tagged Sonjay in because of Storm’s game plan. Later Sabin was back in the match but his offensive advantage was not for long because Chris Harris from the outside dragged him down and hit his ankle on the steel ring post. Sabin was down and had to be brought in by Chris Harris. He continued turning his ankle in awkward positions within the ring and even twisting his ankle around the ropes. This ankle injury is just fresh off of last night's iMPACT! broadcast when Sabin went for an airborne drop kick that saw his foot catch the ring canvas. Chris Harris later took the guard off Sabin’s ankle and continued to work on it with no resilience. The focus of the match for AMW became all about Chris Sabin’s ankle. He couldn’t even stand anymore and referee Rudy Charles was there to check if he wanted to still compete. Sabin was later finally able to tag in Sonjay Dutt and he went crazy. He was going to try and win the NWA World Tag Team Titles all by himself now and he sprang off the ropes with a moonsault taking AMW down. Sonjay had a few opportunities including the revolutions around a Catatonic attempted by Harris followed with a Tornado DDT by Sabin on a steel chair. That counted for a near fall by Sonjay and now AMW were scrambling for any advantage they could get. Sabin tried helping whenever he could but Storm caught Sonjay with the Super Kick followed with the Death Sentence for the win as they retain the titles.
Winners & STILL NWA World Tag Team Champions: America’s Most Wanted
After the match AMW handcuffed Sonjay Dutt in the corner and now it was time for a little post match beat down. Harris was going to use the chair but Sabin came for the save and that was bail time for AMW.
Backstage, Jeff Jarrett guaranteed that Monty Brown would be next in line for an NWA World Heavyweight Championship bout once he beats Christian Cage tonight. A decision made by Jarrett with the overshadowing of Monty Brown during an interview with Jeremy Borash.
It has become a usual routine for one “Monster” Abyss and another “War Machine” Rhino to go into a match as one person, and leave a match as another. Both competitors leave their mark and gain a new mark one way or another and tonight’s mark for the fans will be no exception. Both vow to destroy each other in the most gruesome way with pain. Many other men cannot ease in such pain as these two are willing to endure, and tonight Rhino and Abyss are those two competitors that will be battling for soul supremacy stopping at nothing to gain their victory and move up the ranks in TNA – even if it means battling all over Universal Studios. It’s a true testament value showing just how motivated you can be in TNA when verging on at a chance for wrestling’s top prize. Two weeks ago we saw Rhino deliver The Gore to Abyss through the entrance set wall, what can top that tonight? These are their battlegrounds and next up it’s a War Machine attempting to tame a Monster in a Falls Count Anywhere match!
