Elix Skipper

Most of those names are not surprising.

Honestly, the most surprising one is Elix Skipper.

Really? I don't know.

WWE has never had a great history of pushing Japanese talent.

Thanks, guys.

Our second last match of the night, match number six.

It is Kid Romeo and Primetime, A-List Skipper versus Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Tag Team titles.

I noted coming into this show, I'm like, man, two Filthy Animals matches.

We've already talked about America's Most Wanted.

So we'll probably focus on Triple X and focus on Elix Skipper and then get to that point of Turning Point 2004.

And that six sides of steel.

Cause I think this is the first they've had cage matches.

And then as he goes for the chart buster, you know, Disco's version of the stunner, D'Lo shoves him off, gives him the sky high, goes for the pin.

sanders breaks the pin so then aj styles goes to the top rope and now christopher daniels and elix skipper just run out and attack him and we just get another random disqualification of yeah match is over sure then jerry lynn and amazing red come to make the save and i guess like just the people involved in this match just like in the match itself those four just kind of wander brawling to the backstage or something because they just vanish They just vanish because then Sonny Siaki and David Young show up and they help out Daniels and Elick Skipper by Young just hitting every, hitting Lin and Amazing Red with spine busters over and over again.

And there we are with the heel standing tall, very ship of DCS situation because nobody in the ring at this point was there for the match itself.

Yeah, it was a strange sequence there at the end.

Estrada.

yeah they were there like like day one they were like first show okay but uh yeah he still has kind of that that rock wannabe stuff going on but other than that he's he's he's fine like compared to the rest of tna he's he's doing okay

because yeah it's like and you see like the names involved in this like you know besides red and lynn it's like chris daniels elix skipper aj styles dilo brown it's like this it sounds like you should be rocking the house with this roster but then you got the gilbert standards who are like you know the fact that um sex is listening to glenn gilberti to be like their ringleader

yeah

Ebbene, i partecipanti, i membri di questi team si sfideranno in ben tre o quattro round a seconda delle edizioni, accumulando una serie di punti in base anche alle stipulazioni dei vari round e qualora dovesse verificarsi un finale a pari punti per due determinati team, ci sarà un one on one, quindi uno scontro diretto tra i capitani dei rispettivi team per decretare poi il vincitore definitivo.

Per farvi capire l'importanza, e cito testualmente alcuni dei- dei partecipanti, nel team TNA del primo anno ci furono Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin ed Alex Skipper.

Nel team Canada Petey Williams, Johnny Devine, Bobby Roode, Eric Young, il team Mexico addirittura Hector Garza.

Per non parlare poi di Nosawa per il team Japan, insomma nomi decisamente, eee di, di un certo calibro che poi si sono ripetuti nel 2006, perché anche nel 2006 abbiamo visto il team Mexico Puma, quello che poi diverrà famoso per, eh divenire Manic in TNA, TJ Perkins, sia in TNA sia in WWE, dove è divenuto il primo Cruiserweight Champion della nuova era, per poi essere famoso, essere divenuto famoso con questo nome anche in New Japan e lo ricordiamo tutti per la sua run da campione di coppia dei pesi leggeri insieme al nostro connazionale Francesco Akira.

Yeah.

Elix Skipper got free hot dogs, and they were like,

eh, it's more even.

Yeah.

Oh.

Uh, QueWe was on the list of those dropped when the cuts came on the 5th of December, along with Lash LeRoux, Ross McCullough, Reno, Kid Romeo, Elix Skipper, Esse Rios, James Yang, and Evan Kourageous.

Most of those guys there were the guys they picked up when they bought WCW.

Mm.

He was on the last one, yeah

... last Nitro, wasn't he?

So was El- Elix Skipper as well-

Yeah

Get it up there, boys and girls

... didn't we interview Elix Skipper the night of the fucking, uh, h- the fucking Hurricanrana off the cage?

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

When you would go to TNA to watch, where you were getting to see the AJ Styles, the Samoa Joes, uh, like you said, even the Abysses of the world.

I got old TNA on my screen right now with Christopher Daniels, Beer Money, um, Elix Skipper.

Like, um, th- there's...

You know, they had that going for them.

Uh, Sanders taps, but the ref's out.

So then, uh, Elix Skipper shows up with a chair, conks, uh, conks Harris with that.

And ref-

Horrible chair shot.

It's a six-man tag.

It's Primetime-

Yes

...

Hm.

We'll find out.

Sugar Shane hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, then is kicked from the apron by Primetime.

Clothesline from Chavo who tag to Kid Romeo.
