The Pitch: So the story I had in mind for this draft was a TNA Revival. Jeff Jarrett and Cody Rhodes, with the help of cutting-edge stem cell technology bringing legends back to their prime, re-launched TNA. Three big over-arching stories would have been Jarrett and Cody feuding over control of the company, the final validation of Christopher Daniels as the TNA legend he is, and TNA Originals being salty with big-name WWE guys coming in and taking top spots. With that in mind, it's time for:

NWA:TNA presents
Destination X

NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Brock Lesnar ( C ) vs. Christopher Daniels
(So hear me out here. Daniels did the nostalgia thing at No Surrender by teaming with AJ one last time. Then he won the X Division Championship at Against All Odds, showing that he still has the ability to hang with the young guys. So at Destination X, he's using Option C - forfeiting his X Division Championship for a shot at the World Champion. Cue passionate promos about being Mr. TNA, but never winning the big one, vs. Brock being dismissive of Daniels ever having a chance. Classic David vs. Goliath.

The Rock vs. Roman Reigns

AJ Styles vs. Steve Austin
This one's the building of the WWEvsTNA thing. Austin held the title since the return before losing it to Brock. AJ says that he's the real GOAT etc. 

NWA Women's Championship
Becky Lynch ( c ) vs. Gail Kim

The Undertaker vs. Aleister Black

Loser Leaves Town - Winner Gains Full Control of the Company - No DQ
Jeff Jarrett vs. Cody Rhodes
Since we had to have a Loser Leaves Town match, we'll say there was shenanigans in the last one and this time there must be a winner.

Lethal Lockdown
JBL, Robert Roode, Alberto Del Rio & Abyss vs. Terry Funk, James Storm & The Dudleys
After loosing to the Dudleys, Roode turned on Storm and aligned himself with JBL and Del Rio to be a group of fancy rich guys. Abyss is the paid muscle. Funk, Storm and Duds are just four no BS badasses looking for revenge. TNA's version of WARGAMES. Zelina Vega manages the rich guys.

X Division Championship
Mercedes Martinez vs. PAC vs. Paul London
The baddest bitch in the place is doing a Tessa Blanchard and showing she can hang with the guys in a triple threat match to crown a new X Division champion.

AJ Lee vs. Aja Kong

Breaking The Chains Results

1. "Mr. NWA" Damien Sandow upset La Parka following a chairshot. Sandow hypocritically played a Chair Violin and danced a waltz after the match.

2. The Rock n Roll Express defeated "The Malcontent" Austin Aries in a Handicap Match when Robert Gibson made "A Double" tap to the rarely seen Gibson Leglock. After all Aries' bragging about how he was younger, stronger, quicker, more technically adapt, and hit harder; he lost a test of strength to Robert, was constantly made to look foolish by the quickness of both Rock & Rollers, lost a punch battle to Ricky, and instantly tapped to a move that he would later admit blew his mind. But he is still younger! That one fact cannot be taken away from Austin Aries.

3. NWA European Champion WALTER w/ Jim Cornette defeated an overmatched Tim Storm with a Choke Sleeper. WALT refused to break the hold even after the ref called for the bell. Crowd chanted for World Champion Hulk Hogan to make the save. Instead they got NWA Champion Nick Aldis coming down to confront Big WALT. Aldis helped Storm to the back as the crowd chanted for both men.

4. Doink pinned Eddie Kingston to prevail in a fun styles clash with the gimmicky technician battling the down-to-earth New York City brawler. Kingston looked to have the match won after signalling for his Backfist To The Future. But just then the lights flickered off and on. That temporary distraction was all it took for the crafty clown to seize an opening with a rollup and a handful of tights for the victory. Kingston was infuriated by the strange technical failure. Weird!

5. Bianca Belair & Thunder Rosa won our second glorified squash of the night by defeating NWA Women's Champion Lacey Evans & Jimmy Jacobs. The bulk of this was Bianca & Rosa beating on poor Jimmy Jacobs with their state of the art offense. Lacey would tag in for some cheap stomps when they occasionally missed a move. Then she would tag out again the moment Belair or Thunderrr showed even the slightest chance of recovery. Lacey eventually walked off, leaving her personal assistant to the wolves. Lacey's tormentors won it with a Belair slam followed by a top rope Sullivan Stomp on Lacey's little lovestruck lackey.

6. NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis collected yet another belt when he defeated ROH Champion Jay Lethal by doing the Bret/Piper (or Austin) pin spot out of Lethal Dragon Suplex attempt. The two warriors shook hands after the match. Aldis implored the crowd to chant for Lethal. They did. Then "The National Treasure" left to the now-common refrain of "Real World Champ." 

7. Bray Wyatt pinned DDP with Sister Abigail in a No DQ Match. DDP had the match won after hitting a Diamond Cutter outta nowhere when Doink interfered. DDP fought off Doink only to turn around into a Wyatt Sister Abigail. Wyatt & Doink have clearly formed some sort of alliance. This was not lost on Eddie Kingston, who ran in to interrupt Wyatt as he was about to speak. Wyatt & Doink retreated as Kingston blamed Wyatt's trickery for his loss to Doink earlier in the night. Eddie helped DDP up and it looks as if they have formed a People's Posse to battle the weird duo of Wyatt & Doink.

8. NWA World Tag Team Champions Demolition went to a no contest with The Road Warriors in a Rochester Street Fight. This Dream Match years in the making ended in a travesty of justice. After 10 minutes of wild action, the LOD had Demolition reeling. They were about to set up the Doomsday Device when the lights flickered out for the second time this evening. When they came back on Wyatt & Doink were in the ring. Hawk & Animal were briefly overwhelmed by the 2 on 4 disadvantage. Then DDP & Kingston came out to even the odds. And we ended up having an outta control 8 man brawl. The poor ref had no choice but to throw it out. So yeah. This Street Fight ended in a no contest. 

9. World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts after Hulking Up from Jake's DDT and hitting his usual finishing sequence. But the fun had only just begun! The lights flickered out yet again. When they were back on Wyatt, Doink, Demolition, AND a recovered Jake were stalking The Hulkster. Doink & Demolition took turns beating down Hogan and keeping the entire babyface roster out of the cage while Jake & Wyatt cut a promo introducing the NWA Univerrrse to....

The Funhouse!

1. Rock and Roll Express vs. Dos Luchadores ("El Luchador" Damien Sandow & La Parka)- #1 Contenders Match

An irate La Parka wanted a rematch after being cheated out of victory by Sandow at our last pay per view. But Sandow once again displayed his superior intellect by forging a friendship with "The Chairman" rather than going through the hell of wrestling him again. Sandow has now taken up a Luchador persona. He wears a Skeletor outfit and slowly but surely became a 3rd Degree Luchador by doing moves off the bottom rope (1st degree), middle rope (2nd degree), and finally the top rope (3rd degree). Waltzing while playing Chair Violin has also become a Sandow staple. Parka just shrugs and goes along with all this nonsense.

But the Rock and Roll Express were far less amused when they were attacked by "The Chairmen of Lucha." 

Now the two duos will battle with a future shot at the NWA Tag Team Championship on the line.

2. "Mr. ROH" Jay Lethal vs. "The Malcontent" Austin Aries

D'oh! RT must not have received my complete card again. Technology confuses me. Guess I'll have to write these shows all at once from now on. This stop/start method doesn't seem to be working. Anyway! I will post the complete show in like 5 minutes after I get rid of all those stupid ampersands and spacing issues.

Even not having the full show, based on the results, I think I know where things are headed. Can't fucking wait to see. Baker is master class. Although, PB is no slouch here. Fucking love his concept and card. This is going to be epically though.

But the Rock and Roll Express were far less amused when they were attacked by "The Chairmen of Lucha."

Now the two duos will battle with a future shot at the NWA Tag Team Championship on the line.

2. Lacey Evans (c) w/ Jimmy Jacobs vs. Mickie James- NWA Women's Championship Match 

Lacey was ready to permanently kick Jacobs to the curb after her lackey went down in defeat to the dynamic duo of Thunder Rosa & Bianca Belair at our last PPV. However, Jacobs managed to successfully save his position by becoming more subservient than ever. Lacey decided to use his complete obedience by instituting a "one strike and you're out rule." Meaning if Jacobs messes up just one more time Lacey will never again have anything to do with the love struck fool. Lacey's master plan has worked as Jacobs has bailed his dream woman out of many a sticky situation of late.



Lacey also managed to finally have something in common with her longtime rivals, Thunder Rosa & Bianca Belair. All three women cannot understand how newcomer Mickie James managed to instantly become the #1 Contender. I mean, it's not as if Mickie James has had a bad career. But many believe her best days are behind her, and it's not as if she was Lana Star to begin with. James recently debuted, won a few matches over enhancement talent, and voila! She's suddenly the #1 Contender. Weird. Rumors abound that she has friends in high places...

3. "Mr. ROH" Jay Lethal vs. "The Malcontent" Austin Aries- Loser Leaves Town Match

"The Malcontent" mocked Lethal after "Mr. ROH" lost the ROH Championship to NWA Champion Nick Aldis in a Title Unification Match at our last PPV. Aries then went on to say he was a better ROH Champion than Lethal ever was. A Double also claimed to be the real "Mr. ROH" and claimed ROH was far superior to NWA. Lethal shot back by saying "at least I didn't tap out." This triggered a "You Tapped Out" chant from the Aries-hating crowd.

The war of words escalated. Aries says the fans want him gone, and he's going soon anyway (which lead to a "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" chant), but he'll give Lethal and the NWA audience a chance to get rid of him even sooner. He then challenged Lethal to a Loser Leaves Town Match. Lethal accepted. He knows he can beat Aries. He also wants to prove once and for all that he was the greatest ROH Champion. And he'll put his money where his mouth is by putting his NWA career on the line.

4. Thunder Rosa vs. Bianca Belair

After a successful showing in mixed tag action at our last PPV, both women are miffed about a total newbie swooping in and somehow becoming the #1 Contender to NWA Women's Champion Lacey Evans. But Rosa & Belair are competitors first and foremost. So they will continue their trendsetting rivalry in a match with higher stakes than ever. This time the winner will earn another shot at the NWA Women's Championship both women have been chasing for so long.

5. WAR GAMES

The Funhouse (Bray Wyatt/Jake Roberts/Doink/Demolition) vs. DDP/Road Warriors/Eddie Kingston/Hulk Hogan/Tim Storm

Our last pay per view was highlighted by the shocking formation of The Funhouse. It turns out the seeds for this fearsome fivesome were planted long ago. The group had run roughshod over the NWA for many months seemingly as individuals with their own peculiar plans. Only recently have we learned their dastardly deeds were part of a larger scheme. Wyatt, Roberts, and Doink are all masters of psychological warfare, while Demolition are the most dominant duo in company history.

Their opponents are a loose collection of good guys with only one thing in common- all were wronged at one time or another by members of The Funhouse.

Hulk Hogan himself was originally penciled in for this match as the Captain of the good guys. A shocking incident I will cover in a bit caused to opt out with the permission of his partners. But who would be the 5th man?

Why none other than Tim Storm! Who had his own issues with The Funhouse (namely Doink) and just recovered in the nick of time from the beating WALTER laid on him at our last pay per view.

This one will be an absolute war between two factions of five who hate each other. It will definitely not a match for the weak at heart. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

6. Nick Aldis (c) vs. Chris Jericho (c)- NWA Champion+ vs. AEW Champion Unification Match

After defeating NWA Mexican Heavyweight Champion La Parka and ROH Champion Jay Lethal at our last two pay per views, Nick Aldis has added "The Belt Collector" to his ever growing list of nicknames. A list which also includes a recent upgrade from his old "National Treasure" nickname to his new "International Treasure" nickname.

Slick Nick was out there looking resplendent on the day he added to his list of nicknames. He was also a little more aggressive in challenging Hulk Hogan this time, even bringing up finishing above Hogan in the PWI 500 (Aldis was #2, Hogan #3). Once again, the busy Hulkster did not respond....

So Aldis issued a challenge to any other champion in the world. The Belt Collecting International Treasure wanted to add yet another trophy to his mantlepiece in his ongoing crusade to unify all the major championships in wrestling. But not even Slick Nick was prepared for what happened next.....

The surprise debut of AEW Champion....

Chris f'n Jericho!

OH MY GOD!!!!

Remember how I said Aldis finished #2 in the PWI 500? Guess who finished #1? That's right! AEW Champion Chris Jericho!

AEW & this incarnation of the NWA started at roughly the same time. AEW honestly smoked NWA popularity-wise in those early days. But NWA slowly and steadily picked up momentum. The arrival of Hogan suddenly made it the "cool" promotion. AEW faded. And despite Jericho doing yeoman's work by carrying the promotion on his back as a champion for the ages, the promotion continued to snowball downwards. It went out of business soon after ROH went under.

But Chris Jericho, AEW Champion, remains. And now he's coming to take the NWA Championship from Slick Nick and prove once and for all that he is....

The Best In The World at what he does.

7. Hulk Hogan (c) vs. WALTER (c) w/ Jim Cornette- World Champion vs. NWA European Champion Unification Match

What could possibly top a WAR GAMES and a battle for the ages between Nick Aldis & Chris Jericho?

A heated Hulk Hogan feud! That's what, brother.

This a match Jim Cornette has waited decades for. Long before he railed against flippy spot monkeys for "ruining wrestling," his vitriol was directed at Hulk Hogan, also for "ruining wrestling." Remember, it was Cornette who famously said "Hulk Hogan is a household word, but so is garbage." Now, after all those years of hatred, Jim Cornette is closer than ever to actually achieving his goal of ending Hulkamania forever. And he thinks he has the perfect man to do it in the Austrian assassin. Cornette claims (and we agree) that Hogan has never met anybody as big and bad, as cold, calculating, and straight up ruthless as Big WALT.

Things finally came to a head when Cornette & WALTER opened an episode of Powerrr with a sit in. They refused to leave the ring until Hulk Hogan himself would come to the ring and accept their challenge. Wrestler after wrestler tried to get them out of there, including the likes of Eddie Kingston, Jay Lethal, the Rock & Roll Express, and a returning Tim Storm (huge pop!). But all were sent packing by WALTER attacks and/or Cornette racket shots. Finally, when the "HOGAN" chants became deafening, "The Immortal" Hulkster himself appeared to confront WALTER. They stood face to face. You could cut the tension with a knife.

But there was still one problem....Hogan was already committed to captaining his team in War Games. He didn't want to let his teammates down even though all four men told him to fight WALTER. Hogan put it to a fan vote. The Hulkmaniacs who comprise the bulk of NWA's audience voted almost 2:1 in favor of Hogan fighting WALTER. And Hogan sealed the deal by recruiting his own admitted "favorite wrestler" Tim Storm to take his place in War Games.

So now the match is set. Hulk Hogan vs. WALTER. Or as many are calling it, Rocky vs. Drago II.

Baker floats my boat so much it's technically a flying dingy.

It’s my fault. I didn’t see that you sent me two messages. I had to post everything quickly so I didn’t even read it, just copied and pasted.

RT messing up a card is a gimmick that MUST LIVE FOREVER!

As for my vote, all due respect to 🤯 biggest idol Baker, I am giving my vote to PB. The man who beat THE MAN/the Kid to get here! Peanut Butter don’t bake, Baybay.

I feel like everytime I win in a draft everyone who comments votes for the other guy and I have no idea what people like about my roster!
