TNA The Best Damn Wrestling Event Period – Night 2 (November 11, 2004)

I’m going to go ahead and watch Night 2 of TNA’s Best Damn Wrestling Event Period. The first one wasn’t all that great and I have zero expectations that this one is going to be any better, especially since this one guarantees us at least two matches featuring the hosts of the Best Damn Sports Show Period in action. That being said, the thing I most like watching and reviewing on this site are the weird one-offs and there’s nothing weirder than a one-off crossover with a late night sports talk show. So let’s get to it.

TNA The Best Damn Wrestling Event Period – Night 1 (November 10, 2004)

So way back in 2004, TNA called Fox Sports Net home. As a bit of cross-promotion the powers that be allowed TNA to air two nights of special wrestling based installments of another Fox Sports Net program, The Best Damn Sports Show Period. I’ve never seen an episode of that particular program but Wikipedia tells me that it “regularly featured irreverent and opinionated interviews with top athletes, coaches, celebrities, and entertainers,” and based on the stuff on this episode that seems to be a fair description of the show. Anyway this had actual matches on it and it was only an hour long so I figured I give it a watch as it’s something I’ve never actually seen before.

WWE Heat (January 4, 2004)

I’ve apparently not reviewed a single WWE show from the year 2004 and have decided to take care of that by looking at the first episode of Heat from that year. Get ready to see the WWE mid-card had to offer in 2004!

TNA Impact! (June 4, 2004)

This is the historic first episode of Impact. Prior to this TNA had just done weekly PPVs. There’s an opening montage of a bunch of exciting stuff from previous TNA events. We then get an off-camera Professor Iron “Mike” Tenay introducing the show as the camera pans around the Universal Studios Arena.
