This week's edition of NWA TNA opened with the newly crowned NWA World Champion, Ron "The Truth" Killings, coming to ringside and addressing the fans. Truth said that the TNA home base is his house. He said that it's now known as the TNA Asylum. He said that he came to the NWA a bitter man. He said he wasn't sure he would get the opportunity that he thought he deserved. He said that for his whole life, the color of his skin has always made it hard for him to compete. He said that in the WWF, he was told by a senior official that he could not make the same mistakes that other wrestlers could because he was a black man in a white man's world. He said that he wasn't playing any race card here, it was just the truth. He said that he got an opportunity in TNA and he made the most of it. He said that he had realized a dream.
Jeff Jarrett then came out and told Truth to put his dream away. He said that the only reason Ron is the champ, and that he isn't, is because of reverse discrimination. Truth disagreed. Jarrett said all he was asking for was an opportunity to become the NWA Champion tonight. Truth told Jarrett to come on down to the ring and take his best shot. Then Bill Behrens came out on the rampway, wearing a cowboy hat. He also had a group of security guys with him. Behrens said that there is a new sheriff in town and began rambling, possibly suffering from the effects of the recent chairshots he took to the head. Behrens told Jarrett that he and Truth could fight all they want, but it won't be for the title. Jarrett said he was going to take out Behrens and went up the ramp towards Behrens when Brian Lawler attacked him from behind. Lawler beat up Jarrett until security broke them up. Lawler then screamed that he "knew it was you" at Jarrett. The announcers didn't know what Lawler was talking about.
The opener saw the debuting team of Kid Kash, Shark Boy and Slim J take on the Spanish Announce Team (Jose and Joel Maximo and The Amazing Red). It was a high-flying X Division classic that saw the SATs win when the Amazing Red hit the InfraRed on Slim J.
In the back, lucky Goldy got to interview the Dupps. Stan Dupp told Goldy that they had defended her honor on Disco's show last week. The Dupps then showed Goldy their "home", which turned out to be an outhouse. The Dupps said that they wanted to have a TV show based around the outhouse. Goldy didn't seem to think MTV, or anyone else, would want to pick that up.
Miss TNA, Bruce, then came out to the ring. He was wearing a dress, a tiara and was carrying a scepter. Bruce said that he had more under his dress than any woman did. Bruce told the fans that he would pay anyone who could come in the ring and take his title $5,000. Bruce then surveyed the crowd and ran down the women at ringside. Bruce picked a woman from the front row to take him on. She signed a release and entered the ring to face Bruce. She attacked Bruce from the opening bell and dominated the match until Bruce managed to roll her up and score the pin.
Goldy then interviewed Jeff Jarrett and asked him what had happened with Brian Lawler. Jarrett didn't answer her. He did say however that he was forced to wrestle with The Truth tonight, but he would keep coming after him and would get the NWA Title. Jarrett then went into the bathroom and attacked Bill Behrens, who was in a stall about to use the head.
Don Harris was out for blood against Malice in their Last Man Standing match. It was a brutal bout that came down to Malice putting Harris through a table from the top rope. Somehow, Harris managed to get the win when he got up at the 9 count, just as Malice fell back down. After the match, Harris showed that Malice had earned his respect by offering his hand to the big man. Malice accepted.
Goldy was in the back with the Dupps. She announced that their Dupp Cup opponent for tonight was Teo, who had bumped into Bo earlier. Stan told Goldy that he is deathly afraid of little people. Bo informed his brother that he would take care of Teo. Teo started off strong, but Bo made a come back. Teo managed to score the upset and win the Dupp Cup when Bo pulled Teo up to the Dupp outhouse. Bo was in for a surprise when Puppet was waiting in the outhouse and hit Bo with a kendo stick. This let Teo put Bo's head in the hopper and win the Cup.
Bad blood spilled over as Elix Skipper took on Monty Brown in a Detroit Street Fight. As all TNA fans know, these two have had serious issues and they did their best to beat them out of each other in this match. In the end, Brown got the victory when he hit the Alpha Bomb on Skipper, putting him through a trashcan.
Goldy interviewed the Elvises. She asked them how they felt about their match, where it will be every man for himself. Jorge Estrada and Jimmy Yang said it would be tough, but they would do what they had to do. Sonny Siaki then said that he was the heartbeat of the Flying Elvises and said that the team was all about him. He told the fans at home to worship him.
It was then time for the X Division Title match, with Low Ki defending against all three members of the Elvises. The rules were that once a wrestler is pinned or submitted, he is out of the match. The first man to exit was Estrada, who was eliminated by Yang via a Boston Crab. Low Ki then pinned Yang with the Ki Krusher after Siaki had tripped his partner when he was on the top rope. That brought the match down to Siaki and Low Ki. Yang got even with his partner when he came back to ringside and hit Siaki in the back, which allowed Low Ki to pin Siaki and retain the title.
In a taped segment from earlier today, Goldy wanted to interview Jerry Lynn. Lynn was leaving in his car, so he took Goldy with him. Goldy asked if Jerry could get along with AJ Styles tonight in their tag title defense. Lynn said that they could. He added that last week was an "every man for himself" situation and things would be fine tonight. He then pulled up to a store, got out of his car and beat up Styles! He told his partner that he would respect him.
Disco Inferno then brought out movie star Dean Baldwin to his show. Disco asked him what he thought of TNA. He said he liked it. Dean said he was in Nashville doing a movie called "Urban Heartthrob". Dean said that Frank Stallone and Carrot Top are in the movie. Dean sent out get well wishes to Jason Priestly. Disco then asked about Dean's brothers. Then, Brian Lawler came out screaming about Jeff Jarrett and what he said that Jarrett was "guilty of". Dean Baldwin then made the mistake of talking down to Lawler, and Lawler beat him up until security pulled him off, took him to the back, and then threw him out of the building. Disco said that next week he would have one of "the most recognizable television celebrities of all time" on his show.
Then it was time for the main event of the evening as Jeff Jarrett teamed up with The Truth for a shot at Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles' NWA Tag Team Titles. Going in, both teams were hardly on the same page with their partners, but for the most part, they worked together during the match. It was a hotly contested bout that had a highly disputed ending. After referee Scott Armstrong was knocked down accidentally by Styles, Lynn hit the cradle piledriver on the Truth. Armstrong couldn't make the count though since he was out. Jarrett attacked Lynn and covered him just as Styles hit the Spiral Tap on Truth. Armstrong came to and counted out Truth, but referee Rudy Charles had come in to help Scott and he counted Jarrett's pin on Lynn. As the two referees were arguing about who the winner was, Bullet Bob Armstrong came to ringside and said that the title belts were being held up.
Armstrong then told Truth he would be defending the NWA World Title against Monty Brown next week. The Bullet told Lynn and Styles that they would face off next week and the winner would get an X Division Title shot. Lynn asked that it be a Falls Count Anywhere match. Styles countered that it should be a No Disqualification match. Armstrong told both men that they would get their wish. They will have a best two out of three falls match. One fall is Falls Count Anywhere. The second fall is No DQ. If there is a third fall, the NWA decreed it will be held under Ironman rules, where whoever gets the most pinfalls in 10 minutes wins.
Jarrett then asked Bullet what his match would be. Bullet said he had a special surprise for him and he would find out what it will be next week. Jarrett was not happy about that. He grabbed the title belt and stormed to the back.
Before the show went off the air, Don West informed us that Low Ki would take on all three The SATs in a single elimination match, similar to what he had against the Elvises tonight. Also, Sonny Siaki and Jimmy Yang will settle their grudge next week as well.
As the show went off the air, Brian Lawler was choking Jeff Jarrett, saying he knew what Jarrett did and that he was going to kill him. Fade to black.
