So gang, a little known fact about me is I love Extreme Warfare Revenge, alongside Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 (bought 2020, still haven't figured out how to play it in a fun manner). Maybe some of you like fantasy booking, maybe some of you don't, who knows! Below you'll find what I have thus-far. I hope to update this at least once a week when I find the time. Before each pay-per-view or supercard, I'll be sure to leave a prediction template to let you get in on the fun. Got a worker you want to get signed? Be my guest! Feedback, ideas, anything is welcomed.
A-hem, drum roll please.

Total Nonstop Action. What more can be said? The hard hitting, cutting edge alternative to the WWE has rode a strange roller coaster of momentum since it's inception. Former WCW stars such as Jeff Jarrett, Sting, and WWE alumni like Christian Cage and Team 3-D have done battle with up and coming talent like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and a plethora of young talent looking to cement their name in the main stream. We begin in the year 2006, where Jeff Jarrett reigns supreme as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, burying anyone in his way with his signature guitar strikes and The Stroke. Meanwhile, Samoa Joe is the reigning and defending X-Division Champion. America's Most Wanted, comprised of “Cowboy” James Storm and “The Wildcat” Chris Harris are tearing it up with the tag division.
The only thing is, a storm has been brewing.
Over the course of December, NWA-TNA management have been scrambling for a way to entice the casual audiences to view their product. Spike TV have been more then happy with TNA's performance, and through a lengthy set of conversations between TV executives and the company, a deal was struck; TNA is about to go PRIME TIME! The news excited many fans, and the roster seemed poised to do their absolute best. This meant that now TNA had more time to develop more feuds, build up more stars, and have longevity.
So, as the New Year struck, it was time for the creative team to get busy creating enticing story-lines to lead the company into their first Prime Time episode, as well as guide them into their upcoming pay-per-view, Final Resolution. January 19th was the date set for the company to air it's first official Prime Time slot, and in the process made one of the biggest signings to date. TNA began airing vignettes of a mysterious figure during the tail end of 2005, with each vignette counting down a single number. The vignette would talk about the wealth of talent TNA had to offer, but would trash talk the likes of Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Christian Cage, and even AJ Styles. While Christian Cage dealt with the mighty Monty Brown in a feud that recently began, Sting and Jeff Jarrett were competing for the NWA World Title, leaving Styles to finally call-out the mysterious signing on the January 5th edition of iMPACT! The countdown finally reached zero, the lights went out, and as they reappeared, CHRIS JERICHO stood at the ramp with his signature pose! The iMPACT Zone was in complete aw at the meeting between Jericho and Styles, but as Jericho entered the ring and offered the young AJ Styles a handshake, a low-blow is what set off a feud between the two, while also establishing Jericho as a heel. The following week, Jericho would cut a scathing promo, keeping most of his iconic catchphrases for TNA fans to experience, but would explain that after his contract expired with a “certain world wide“ wrestling company that excelled in “sports entertainment”... he began to rethink signing with the company again, and after last week, found that he finally has a new world to conquer... a new world to become the king of. He went on to explain his lucrative contract, that with it came two deals; the first would be a future World Heavyweight Championship Match, and that the second would be his first match in the company wouldn't be on just a regular episode of iMPACT. Instead, he specifically requested that his first match would be on pay-per-view, feeling that this historic moment in his career is just too good for regular television. He would end his promo promising that at Final Resolution, AJ Styles would be the first jester to bow to him!
AJ Styles on the same episode of iMPACT would give his two cents on the matter. He explained that he was pissed off that Jericho's “rockstar” ego has went too his head. In AJ's mind, it doesn't matter if it's on pay-per-view or on free television, it doesn't matter if it's in front of 50 people, or 50,000 people, everyone deserves to see The Phenomenal One do his thing. Styles accepted Jericho's request, but notes that he'll make Jericho pay for trying to make him his stepping stool. After that? He mentions he plans on going after Jeff Jarrett for the NWA Title.
The first episode of iMPACT would also mark the beginning of a feud between Raven and Jeff Hardy, two men who are willing to go to the extreme in order to win. Raven lost a singles match to Jeff, and he responded by dropping Jeff with an Evenflow DDT on top of a steel-chair. The following week, Raven would come out victorious, only this time cheating with a steel-chair once again.
The NWA Tag Team Champions of America's Most Wanted would begin a feud with the upcoming team of Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, now dubbed “Generation Next”. What began as a call-out from Generation Next, wanting a shot at the gold, turned into an all out brawl after James Storm spit his beer in the face of Aries. Pissed off and wanting what they feel is theirs, Generation Next went so far as to call-out AMW on the TNA forums with video messages, claiming that AMW can't even compare to the awesome wrestling ability of Aries and Strong. Elsewhere in the tag division, Team 3D has found themselves being angered by the 3 Live Kru, specifically the combination of Ron Killings and BG James. While Team 3D's issue mostly stems with James, Killings has tagged along trying to defend James honor.
Meanwhile, Samoa Joe, a man who many regard as “one of TNA's biggest hopes to succeed”, recently found himself acting more heelish, disrespecting opponents in the ring and beginning to be more brutal in his maneuvers. Jerry Lynn found himself in Joe's cross-hairs, and as the two did battle, Joe won fair and square, but gave Joe one of his toughest battles to date. As the two looked to shake hands, Joe walked away, angering Lynn and the TNA fans!
TNA would continue with their excitement in scouting new talent, signing Tajiri to a written contract. While many were excited to see what he could bring to the table, Chris Sabin was the first one to take him on, only for The Japanese Buzzsaw to establish himself as a heel by spitting a Green Mist in the eyes of Sabin during their match.
With all of this and more, TNA is on the fast track to some of the most exciting and potentially earth shattering television to date!
