TNA'S grandaddy

[THE RECKSTER (Dave Reck)]

It only just occured to me that I saw TNA before it was TNA....Yeah I did...in Sydney back in 2001...Jarrett and Borasch brought over a few of their mates and toured the country...people like, KONAN, STEVIE RAY, A.J STYLES, ROAD DOG, SCOTT STEINER, DISCO INFERNO, NATHAN JONES, BUFF BAGWELL, JUVIE, PSICOSIS etc etc so and so forth...all shows had a "commisioner" one time it was Bret hart and the next it was Sid Eudy, speaking of Sid, you'd think after two years off with a completley f**ked leg he woulda practiced promo's huh??...NUP...useless as ever.....AND Steiner...shouldnt be allowed near a mic either...there was little kids in the front rows at these shows and the big muscled bound numbnut was screaming at the top of his lungs that they would grow up to f**k koala's...PLEASE....next show there was a meet and greet and I took it upon myself to tell Double J what the problem was ..Steiner never came back...maybe it worked...ANYWAY....they were top shows...but like any modern company the main events more often than not clogged up the evenings....heres some results
