I don't even know where to begin. The interview is done, and Euan will upload it on Wednesday if he knows what's good for him.
Topics covered, not necessarily in order because we jumped around:
All that and I'm sure i'm forgetting a lot.
It was a fun time. You can check out Austin's MySpace here and look for the show on Wednesday.

NOTES
Georgia Wrestling History would like to wish a happy birthday today to Les Thatcher (67), MVP (34), and Christy Hemme (27).
HISTORY
1941: Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Abe Simon announced the cancellation of a card to take place the following day at the Warren Arena in Atlanta
because Lou Thesz, who was scheduled to wrestle Rudy Strongberg in the main event, had been injured in an automobile accident.
1949: Don McIntyre defeated Bill Cazzell to retain the Southern Heavyweight Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship Wrestling
promoter Paul Jones. McIntyre had been the reigning Southern Heavyweight Champion since he defeated the Black Menace on September 23, 1949, in Atlanta.
1955: Bill ‘Red’ McIntyre defeated Freddie Blassie to win the Southern Heavyweight Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship Wrestling
promoter Paul Jones. Blassie had been the reigning Southern Heavyweight Champion since he defeated Don McIntyre on September 16, 1955, in Atlanta. Bobby
Wallace managed Roy Shire.
1963: Lou Thesz defeated Tarzan Tyler to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Title at the William Bell Auditorium in Augusta for Georgia Championship Wrestling
promoter Steve Manderson. Thesz had been the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion since he defeated Buddy Rogers on January 24, 1963, in Toronto,
ON.
1966: A match Southern Tag Team Champions Enrique & Ramon Torres and the Red Raiders was ruled a no contest in a title bout at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium
for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. The Raiders were initially declared the winners, but the decision was nixed when it was discovered
they had used a cloth with a substance in an attempt to subdue Enrique. It was later reported to have been chloroform, after an empty bottle of carbon
tetrachloride was found in the dressing room. The Raiders were reportedly fined $100 each for their actions. The Torres’ had been the reigning champions
since they defeated Louie Tillet & Butcher Vachon on October 21, 1966, in Atlanta.
1969: Paul DeMarco (managed by Homer O’Dell) defeated Dick Steinborn to retain the Georgia Heavyweight Title at the Macon Coliseum for Georgia Championship
Wrestling promoter Fred Ward. De Marco had been the reigning Georgia Heavyweight Champion since he defeated Joe Scarpa on October 3, 1969, in Atlanta.
1975: Mr. Wrestling #2 defeated Luke Graham to retain the Georgia Heavyweight Title at the Macon Coliseum for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Fred

1977: Dusty Rhodes & Bill Watts defeated World Tag Team Champions Ole & Gene Anderson by disqualification in a title match at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium
for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. The Andersons had been the reigning champions since they defeated Rhodes & Dick Slater on October
14, 1977, in Atlanta. Some sources show the Andersons regaining the titles on September 30, 1977, but those records are incorrect. The rematch on September
30 actually had Rhodes & Slater defeating the Andersons.
1978: Georgia Heavyweight Champion Mr. Wrestling #2 and Rick Martel wrestled to a draw in a title match at that day’s taping for Georgia Championship Wrestling
promoter Paul Jones. Wrestling #2 had been the reigning champion since he defeated Stan Hansen in the final round of a tournament on October 16, 1978,

Austin “Consequences” Creed, the wrestler that replaced Adam “Pacman” Jones at Bound For Glory, has been offered a TNA contract.
TNA Booking Director Bill Behrens handed Creed the envelope containing the contract in the ring at last night's NWA Anarchy show in Cornelia, Ga. Creed received a tremendous ovation from the the fans filling the NWA Arena, the same fans who had witnessed Creed's rise to stardom over the last 17 months.
Behrens called the contract offer an opportunity to fulfill a dream.
Behrens mentioned the other TNA stars that once called the NWA Arena in Cornelia home including A. J. Styles, Hotstuff Hernandez, Abyss and Ron Killings.
Creed made his Anarchy debut on June 3, 2006. Right from the get go, it was obvious that he was something special. Creed was paired with Hayden Young to become one of the hottest acts in the company as Awesome Attraction. Their current six month reign is the longest in NWA Anarchy history.
As for the rest of the evening, the fans got more than their money’s worth – plenty of in ring action and some killer angles. It’s a lock that this show will produce two jam packed hours of television.
There were over 200 people in the building. Coming off of a house of 290 for Fright Night, Anarchy has broken 200 at consecutive television taping. These people are hooked bad, and they need their biweekly fix.
(1) Wes Grissom & Chris King beat Talent and $ (J. T. Talent & Andrew Pendleton III) in 5:06. Another great pop for Grissom. He pulled off a major Lucha style satellite headscissors. Pendleton added the catch phrase “now that was money” and a heelish laugh when he did his neckbreaker spot. Pendleton tried to intimidate Grissom. He needs to lose those girlie slaps. The finish was nice. While Referee Ken Wallace was admonishing King, Pendleton planted Grissom on the top rope for Talent. When Wallace admonished Pendleton, King spilled Talent off the ropes and Grissom hit a Shooting Star Press for the pin. There was some serious contact on that SSP.
Melissa Coates crashed a backstage interview that John Johnson was fixing to do with Anger Alliance (sans Adam Roberts). She went ballistic on Johnson, accusing him of being the secret admirer that sent her flowers at the last TV (since day one, Johnson had been making suggestive remarks about Coates on commentary). Roberts showed up and argued with Chase about the leadership of the Alliance. Roberts said he would be thinking about the three of them when his hand was raised in victory as the new Anarchy TV Champion. Chase wondered how Roberts was able to finagle a title shot.
(2) Truitt Fields pinned Adam Roberts to retain the NWA Anarchy TV Title after Roberts was distracted by Brodie Ray Chase (8:42). Fields is over period. Roberts was good in the role of the wily veteran trying to capitalize on his opportunity. First, he succeeded in getting Fields pissed off. Then, Roberts posted Fields shoulder and followed up with a divorce court at two minutes into the match. I liked the aggressiveness in this spot. Roberts gave Fields a hammerlock slam on the floor. Just as Fields rallied with a middle rope bulldog, Chase walked out to ringside. Fields foiled Roberts’ finisher. Roberts dumped Fields out of the ring and had angry words with Chase. Fields caught Roberts with the Killing Fields, except this was Rockbottom style. Interesting timing since Rock was just elected into the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.
(3) Kory Chavis (with Attorney Jeff G. Bailey) decimated Billy Buck in 3:49. Crowd was hot and split for this one. The crowd popped for Chavis as the cool heel. This was a grade A squashing by Chavis. He’s really moving well at his lowered weight, while maintaining a degree of muscularity. All the fight had gone out of Buck by the 3 minute mark. Chavis hit a sitout gordbuster, a high boot and finished with the Spinesplitta.
Jeff Lewis jumped Chavis after the match. He was going crazy on Chavis until Abomination showed up. A-bomb hit Lewis with the Final Solution and Chavis locked in the Hillside Strangla. Chavis refused to break the hold until the refs came out. Bailey finally said enough and gave Lewis a parting stomp.
Backstage, NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer was interviewed by Greg Hunter. Palmer said he didn’t have any answers about the disintegration of Urban Assault Squad. Palmer said neither Nemesis nor Shadow Jackson would return his calls. Hunter said Jeremy Vain was still kavetching about the way he lost the TV title. Palmer said Vain lost on a level playing field and it was a closed book as far as he was concerned.
(4) Tony Santorelli and Sal Rinauro went to an alleged 10 minute draw (actual time of 8:50). The only match that didn’t work and it wasn’t a bad match. In fact, it was a very good match technically, just not the one this crowd wanted to see. Rinauro got a great pop coming out, but they went dead after the opening bell. The first five minutes was mostly on the mat, which is an acquired taste for most Anarchy fans. Santorelli assumed control and was able to thwart Rinauro’s comebacks. At one point, Rinauro took a bump out of the ring where his body made a sick thud when hit the wood floor. There was a mixup on the time, which voided Rinauro’s big comeback before the finish. Santorelli caught Rinauro coming off the ropes and applied his chickenwing crossface variant. He had it on like forever before the bell rang. Santorelli went nuts about not getting the win.
(5) Slim J & Awesome Attraction (Austin Creed & Hayden Young) beat Devil’s Rejects (Azrael & Shaun Tempers & Patrick Bentley with Reverend Dan Wilson ) in 10:10. Bentley came to ring wearing a freaky mask. Once removed, his facial expressions were freakier than the mask. The pop for the babyface trio was amazing. Creed teased throwing a trinket into the crowd and the squealing about blew my eardrums out. J is solid muscle like an MMA fighter. There’s a reason for that. J nailed Tempers with a step up kick and pointed at Bentley. Then he pounded Tempers from the mount. Bentley ate a pair of dropkicks and a Vader bomb elbow drop from Young. But Bentley got an assist from Tempers, and Young crashed to the mat on an ill-advised aerial move in the heel corner. Azrael applied a choke submission, as the fans chanted for Young. Young went for a frogsplash and somehow altered it to avoid a kick from Azrael. Creed took the hot tag and his offense was inspired. Creed had Tempers pinned with a somersault lariat. Bentley broke it up. J attacked Bentley, and the place exploded as they spilled over the ropes. Iceberg came out to shield Bentley from further abuse. The other Rejects had Creed set up for the hellhammer, but it was Young to the rescue with a missile dropkick on Azrael, and Creed pinned Tempers with a huracanrana. Humongous pop for the finish. The way the match was built around J getting his hands on Bentley worked like a charm.
Palmer summoned Behrens to the ring to present Creed with the TNA contract offer. Behrens mentioned that TNA considered a number of options before settling on Creed. Young got on the mic to honor his parnter, but his emotions pretty much got the best of him. The babyface side of the dressing room hit the ring and hoisted Creed up on their shoulders. It was beautiful the way the fans got to share in the moment.
This was one of the most uplifting experiences in my 8 years of attending wrestling in Cornelia. The kid got the opportunity, and he made the most of it. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
(6) Todd Sexton beat Jesse Emerson via submission in 3:40. Emerson looks like a pro wrestler and showed some skills here, something he didn’t get a chance to do against . Sexton started out pure technico. Emerson stayed pretty even with him. Sexton decided to take the low road and beat up on Emerson outside the ring. Sexton got the tap out with front guillotine.
Wes Grissom hit the ring to confront Sexton. In a repeat of the last show minus the verbiage, Sexton blew off Grissom’s challenge.
(7) Derrick Driver & Steven Walters beat The Anger Alliance (Don Matthews & Brandon Phoenix with Brodie Chase) in 7:30. The babyface duo got their two minutes of fame before the Alliance put them through their paces. Matthews was the offensive star. When I watch him now, it’s hard to believe I once wrote that his chops looked lame. Matthews was killing them with strikes and his power game was spot on. Driver took the heat. Driver eventually made it to his corner, but Chase had pulled Walters off the apron. Phoenix dropped Driver on his freaking head with a release German suplex. Roberts came out and got into it with Chase. Matthews tried to play peacemaker. While this was going, Driver rolled Phoenix up. Roberts walked off on the other three, as the Alliance continues to crumble.
Eddie Rich threw it to the back where Nemesis was about to do a sitdown interview with Greg Hunter. This was an awesome segment. Nemesis glanced at the three security guard standing behind him and said he was feeling paranoid, like he was about to go to jail. Nemesis got in the big security guard’s face and started talking trash, challenging the hard guy to try him. The security guy didn’t move a muscle. Nemesis moved on to another, less imposing security guy and got a thrill when he made the “chump” jump. “This gorilla is no longer locked in a cage,” said Nemesis. He threw a chair at the wall. Security stepped forward. Nemesis (wearing a “Free T. I.” t-shirt) said he wasn’t Rodney King. Security backed Nemesis out of the interview area, down the ramp, through the ringside area and out the front door. All the while, Nemesis was issuing challenges and telling them not to step in his space. A tour de force performance by Nemesis.
(8) World’s Prettiest Tag Team (Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins) beat Hollywood Brunettes (Kyle Matthews & Andrew Alexander) in a tornado tag match in 10:39. This was a wild, back and forth, spotfest of a brawl. They took full advantage of the rules. Brunettes came out in streetfight gear. Non-stop action. I’ll just hit on a few of the more brutal highlights. Brunettes gave Delay a double back suplex on the rail. Then they took turns choking him with a belt. Hawkins gave Matthews a snap suplex on the ramp, while Delay catapulted Alexander into the post. Alexander bled heavily after that one. Hawkins took a flying leap off the announcer’s booth to hit a double plancha. The finish went like this: WP2T kicked out of simultaneous pin attempts by the Brunettes. Brunettes went for the Sheeney Curse on Delay, but Hawkins broke it up. WP2T came back with an Overnite Sensation (Delay) and Unprettier (Hawkins) but Brunettes kicked out. WP2T blasted Brunettes with stereo knock out chairshots for the win. Revenge is sweet…and sick.
Jeremy Vain was accompanied to the ring by Rob Adonis. Vain accused Jerry Palmer of screwing him every way possible. He said the lumberjack strap match at Fright Night was “15 minutes of total unfairness,” and Truitt Fields had the help of seven people to beat him for the TV title. Vain ordered Greg Hunter to come down from the announcer’s booth to interview him. Vain berated Hunter. Adonis ripped Hunter’s suit and stomped on his glasses. Vain smacked Hunter in the face HARD, knocking him to the canvas. Palmer and the Attraction hit the ring to chase Vain and Adonis out of there. Hunter needed help getting to the back and did not return to his announce position. Vain crossed a line that hasn’t been crossed in Anarchy by getting physical with an announcer. I’m guessing that Palmer may have to revisit that closed book.
(9) Iceberg (with Reverend Wilson) & Mikal Judas beat NWA Elite (Shatter & Abomination with Attorney Jeff G. Bailey) in 10:19 when Judas pinned the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Shatter with El Crucifijo. Judas is over for sure but in a unique way. They stand (literally) in awe of the larger-than-life quality of his entrance before they pop. Wilson joined Johnson on commentary. That should be very interesting. Shatter wanted no part of Judas. Iceberg tagged himself in to face Abomination, who ended up on the receiving end of the most gargantuan top rope crotch ride I’ve even seen. Interference by Bailey set up a huge lariat on Judas by Abomination. The spot was timed and executed in such a way that Judas didn’t look stupid. The heels trapped Judas in the corner and worked him over. Iceberg would distract the ref with a wry smile in face, as if he might purposely be adding to Judas’ misery. Shatter was very impressive here. He was hitting power moves on a guy that is 6-7 and close to 300 pounds, and he’s gotten more animated with his facial expressions. Shatter goozled Judas. Judas goozled a stunned Shatter. Double lariats. Both men staggered backwards. Iceberg tagged in and hit the Ground Zero splash on Shatter. But Judas had made a blind tag. Abomination pulled Iceberg out. Dominous entered through the front door. Abomination went after him. Judas picked Shatter up like he was nothing (and he’s a good 275) and LAUNCHED him with the crucifix powerbomb for the 1-2-3.
After the match, Iceberg confronted Judas. When Judas dropped down to go under the ropes, Iceberg hit the Thigh Drop of Doom and the Ground Zero on him. Bailey and Shatter stood on the ramp laughing and applauding. Wilson and Iceberg glared at Bailey and Shatter, each side trying to creep the other out and neither having any success at it. They made their respective exits. Judas recovered for one final pop and left through the front door.

It seems that after last night's event, TNA's website was hit with a flood of traffic and the site was subsequently knocked offline and has yet to be put back online.
I can also confirm a spike in traffic on our own site that started last night with the introduction of Rasheed Lucius "Consequences" Creed and has continued in to today.
The glass is half full and half empty for TNA in this case. Good news, people cared enough to try and find out what happened last night in high numbers. Bad news, they did not care enough to order the show.
But hell, if the rating for iMPACT this week is up by 3 or 4 people then they'll call it good.

Welcome to Combat-Hooligans.com's live coverage of TNA Wrestling's biggest show of the year, or so they say. We've got gauntlets, reverse battle royals, Ultimate X matches, Monster's Ball, matches with Enforcers, Tables matches and matches with title belts on the line.
The coverage starts at 8:00 PM ET tonight at which point you can refresh your browser for the latest and greatest.
Our preview and predictions can be accessed here
Preshow note, I may not be as verbose as usual, exhaustion is setting in. Some of you would argue that less of me is better, so tonight, you win.
According to the video package, guys have stuff they want to prove tonight. Fun!
Winners of this match become top contenders to the tag team championship.
A super-hot crowd tonight.
Hella-good match that inspires chants of "this is awesome" for a Skipper dive of the X-structure and "Holy Shit" for a neckbreaker spot also by the structure with Homicide and Senshi. Finish sees Hernandez bordertoss Elix to the floor on to Senshi and LAX grab the prize for the win.
Winners: LAX
Earlier today, Kurt and Karen Angle arrive separately and Kevin Nash is also in the house.
West and Tenay run down the card.
Crystal AKA Random interviewer girl #2 interviews Christian Cage.
Ok, 16 guys start out on the floor. First 8 in the ring then have a regular battle royal. Last 2 wrestle to a pinfall for the finish. Sound complicated? Yeah!
Ok, so in edition to what I just said, the 8 wrestlers will be in a tournament to be held on iMPACT and the point of this battle royal is to determine seeding. We get down to the final 8 pretty quick which means the outside portion was quick. James Storm was the last man to make it to the ring, and then was the first man tossed out. So Storm is seeded 8th and will face the winner of this match in the first round of the tournament. Fatu out next so is seeded 7th. Chris Sabin is out third so is seeded 6th. Kaz is 5th, Hoyt is 4th and Shelley is third. Now it is down to Roode Vs. Young to see who the top seed is.
Young hits a small package and wins this thing.
The matchups to take place on iMPACT:#1 Eric Young Vs. #8 James Storm
Winner: Eric Young
Not as bad as the first, and really the match was fine once they got in the ring which was fairly quick in the process. Why you need to be so complicated to seed guys for a tournament I'll never know. I suggest though that UFC borrow this concept to crown a new UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Team Pacman cut a promo, a new member is debuting or something. His name is Consequences Creed. Pacman cut the best promo of his life. Then Kurt and Karen Angle are fighting.
The new guy's name is Rasheed Lucius "Consequences" Creed, it must suck to sign his check. I see we are getting a lot of visiters wanting info on this man. I'll say this much, I don't know who the guy was but he looked acrobatic in the match. Meltzer wrote that TNA wanted Scorpio for the role but it most definitely was not Scorpio.
A fun match with a make-it-rain spot with Pacman making it rain and instead of counting the resulting pin attempt, Earl Hebner is too busy picking up the money. Yeah, that's not tasteless or anything, got to love the family friendly company! A double team move that I guess Tomko and Giant Bernard use in NJPW wins the belts for Styles and Tomko
Winners: AJ Styles and Tomko
Styles and Tomko are set to meet LAX at some point in the future.
The match was ok, crowd was in to it because of the Pacman and AJ Styles ties to the area.
Karen Angle is talking with Nash. She drops hints about Nash returning to the ring. The gist of it was that she threatens Nash, to get him to talk to Sting or else she and Nash might both lose their meal ticket if Kurt loses the belt.
A Christopher Daniels Vs. Jay Lethal video package airs.
good match, crowd was in to it and Lethal retained the title. He missed the big elbow after kicking out of the BME and fighting off the last rights. He hit his Rock Bottom/Back breaker thing for the win.
Winner: Jay Lethal
Random interviewer #2 is with the steiners. It would seem that Scott Steiner is a fan of caffeine tonight.
Rick went through the table first. Then Scott frankensteinered Brother Ray through the second table. The Motor City Machineguns come out as Team 3-D is about to attempt to injure Scott with a chair. A Bulldog through a table wins the match for the Steiners thanks to the MCG assist.
Winners: The Steiner Brothers
Backstage, ODB, Angel Williams, Talia Madison and Shelley Martinez are around. ODB does the talking running down the other 3 and she's not a bad promo.
Standard TNA Gauntlet rules apply, 1 minute between entries, down to the last 2 women it becomes pinfall or submission.
Ms. Brooks and Ms. Jackie Moore are the first 2 women in the match. Shelley Martinez is third and Awesome Kong is 4th. Kong's music kind of sounds like Samoa Joe's. By the time Kong gets to the ring, ODB's music hits and she is #5. Ms. Brooks and Shelley Martinez are both eliminated by Awesome Kong. Kong then eliminates Ms. Jackie and it is her and ODB in the match. Angel Williams is #6. Christy Hemme is #7, good luck to her. Kong is fustigating everyone. Gail is #8 and finally 3 girls eliminate Awesome Kong. Talia Madison is #9 and Angel Williams is out via Gail and ODB. The last person is Roxie Laveaux. Madison and ODB are eliminated back-to-back and it is Gail Vs. Roxie to crown the champ.
Gail wins the championship.
Winner: Gail Kim
This was fun, especially Kong crushing people. I want to see Awesome Kong Vs. Samoa Joe right now.
Nash is talking to Angle. Angle says Nash has lost his edge and that he should buy a front row ticket and watch the match with the rest of the idiot fans. Memo to TNA, it might not be a great idea to imply that a front-row seat can be had at the mid-way point of the show.
Video package for Christian Vs. Joe.
Matt Morgan as special enforcer
Crowd treats Joe like he's a superstar, too bad TNA won't take note of this. Hot crowd for what is in the initial stages just a Joe beatdown. The crowd is so hot for Joe that Tenay and West shut up for a few seconds so we can hear it for ourselves. Best few seconds of audio in company history.
A fun match which mostly sees Joe pounding on Christian with stiff kicks and clotheslines and power moves. Joe keeps going for pins and keeps getting close nearfalls much to the disappointment of the crowd.
Finally, Tomko tries to interfeer but he and Morgan brawl. Styles tries to sneak in but Morgan catches him and then chases them off. Christian cheats and hits an Unprettier but it only gets 2. Christian hooks a rear naked choke but Joe escapes. Musclebuster by Joe, then kokina clutch and Christian taps out.
Winner: Samoa Joe
I wish I could grow extra thumbs to point up for this.
JB with Nash in the back. Sting comes in and cuts a promo saying it is all about respect. Nash says he needs Angle, he says Sting is in the main event, and this is as close as Nash is going to get.
They make a note of the fact Abyss has been in all 4 Monster'S Ball matches and has yet to be victorious.
Weapons, plunder, spots, the trademark go through the wall spot...and the crowd is still super hot for all of it.
Just a lot of stuff happening, people bleeding and tacks and glass and a black hole slam on Raven in the tacks/glass mix wins it for Abyss.
Winner: Abyss
Another fun match.
Sting and Kurt Angle video package.
Another fun match. A ref bump as Sting had Angle beat. Nash did some interferring on Angle's behalf. Sting fights both Nash and Angle off, deathdrop on Angle, victory for Sting.
Winner: Sting
Sting celebrates to send the fans home happy.
My thoughts: Thumbs up show!
