#2 Greatest Moment in TNA History: Jeff Hardy’s debut in June 2004.
Franchise with AJ Styles. AJ is very emotional.
America’s Most Wanted vs. BG James & Konnan
I have to be honest, as I like AMW, and I think they are a good tag team, I have no idea which one is Harris and which one is Storm. Usually they have ‘Wildcat’ or ‘Cowboy’ on their tights, but this time they have matching black ones. So, ya, this is going to suck. 3LK dominated the match, with AMW, having a bunch of miscues. Outlaw comes out and Konnan goes after him, as AMW hits their finish on BG.
