Event: Genesis PPV
Date: November 13th 2005
Place: Orlando, Florida, USA
Match: X Division Championship Match
Opponents: AJ Styles (c) vs. Petey Williams

This was AJ Styles vs. Petey Williams round two as they both went at it just a year earlier at Victory Road 2004 when Petey Williams was the X Division Champion at the time and he faced AJ Styles. This turned into a brutal match with AJ Styles being thrown into the guard rail early in the match. This game Petey Williams a chance to get a little revenge by dishing out some pain and punishment. Although AJ Styles was able to make a comeback on the Canadian and get the victory with the Styles Clash.

So here’s the new section so to speak. I’ll try to do these once a week or so. You will be able to find this listing along with all of the rest of his matchesas I will add links from the gallery to make it easier to find pictures. That and everything will be in one spot.

FOUR 1ST TIME ENCOUNTERS SIGNED – COMPETITORS CHOICE
The CLASH Championship picture has been an exciting thrill ride for quite some time with the entanglement of current champ Petey Williams, Gavin Quinn, J.Miller and now new #1 contender, Cameron Skyy. While we’ve witnessed these four in Tag Team action last month, we’re still awaiting the date & time that Cameron Skyy wishes to cash in his Contenders Cup #1 position for that one-on-one opportunity against Petey Williams. Just as we await that CLASH Championship encounter, fans of CLASH are also anticipating a showdown between J.Miller and Gavin Quinn which has been an ongoing competitive rivalry since Miller’s return in August 2011. Until that time, each of the four competitors in “pick your poison” type fashion were able to select each other’s respective opponents for FIGHT AGAINST CANCER 5!

All of which are first time ever bouts in CLASH; let’s review what we’ve got in store:
1) Petey Williams (c) vs. Interim CEO, Dragon Greed (Non-Title). Handpicked by Cameron Skyy; one of Cameron Skyy’s most intense opponents and former champion, Greed has held the gold before but now he holds power in CLASH. Greed is a foot taller than Petey with a definite size advantage; can Petey overcome the odds?

Fan Question and Answer Section

I’m done with LLUSA. They owe me money and owe me dates. Proceed with caution if you work or want to work for them. It’s no wonder that wrestling has lost its credibility all over the world.

PETEY WILLIAMS: At that point there was so many booking changes, like Jeff was in, then Dusty was in, then Scott was in, then it’s like okay now who is in charge? Okay Jeff’s in charge again, oh and Dutch. And now they’re not in charge, and Vince is in charge? It [was so] different all the time, at that point I was like alright somebody would hand me a sheet of what I got to do for the day and I was like just get it done.

Once the creative team of Jeff Jarrett, Dutch Mantell, and Vince Russo took over the product went in a different direction, based more on gimmicks than the wrestling based product Scott D’amore and Mike Tenay championed. One thing that happened that surprised many fans was that immediately after taking over booking Jeff Jarrett removed himself from television and never was in the world title picture again. There were many controversial storylines and gimmicks at the time including the former New Age Outlaws going under the name VKM, Voodoo Kin Mafia. VKM are the initials for Vincent Kennedy McMahon. VKM would trash WWE and their new version of DX and many fans thought TNA came off as desperate for attention with the storyline. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley formed the Motor City Machine Guns in 2007 and became a fan favorite tag team, despite never holding tag team gold until 2010.

Sting and Abyss also began a feud which involved many infamous gimmick matches and a storyline where Sting said he knew Abyss had shot his own father in the back three times, sending him into a coma. Then Abyss’ manager brought Abyss’ mother to the Impact Zone and said Abyss’ mother had actually shot his father and that Abyss was just trying to protect her by saying he did it. Mitchell later brought in his “son” Judas Mesias to feud with Abyss. Before researching this I actually thought Mitchell was Abyss’ storyline father, but I got that confused with the Undertaker, Kane and Paul Bearer WWF storyline. At some point Sting and Abyss were having a match at a PPV which prompted the first “Fire Russo” chants. Despite Russo’s infamous reputation in the business many wrestlers noted how open he was to working with talent on their characters and storylines.

PETEY WILLIAMS: So Team Canada broke up and we did our first PPV in Detroit [Bound For Glory 2006]. So I was in a battle royal match, no big deal. I asked Vince, I had just moved to Orlando, I think he had just got the book again, I said hey Vince what have you got for me am I on TV’s [or] whatever, he’s like oh yeah stop by The Impact Zone and we’ll talk if we got time. I was like oh great, I just moved to Orlando and now it’s like I’m getting the cold shoulder, so I’m like whatever. So then I’m the last man in the 20 man Battle Royal, and I come out the place goes nuts. I get in the ring and I do the [Canadian] Destroyer, the place goes nuts. I get eliminated and I come to the back, I’m watching the next match and Vince comes up to me and he says hey Petey good stuff out there, he’s like hey man I have a great idea for you, listen stop by the Impact Zone on Monday or whatever it was tomorrow, he’s like I want to sit down I want to go through some ideas with you, and then he leaves. I’m like is that what it takes, he saw that I was over and that the fans liked me, and that’s when he tried to turn me into a United States character, you know he spent a lot of time with me trying to work on that character and it didn’t go well so he stopped fighting for the character and stuff. A year passes by and at the next Bound For Glory Vince was like you know Petey, we’ve got to come up with a character for you. It was kind of like this is it, if this doesn’t work I don’t know what to do with you. So then that’s when we came up with the Maple Leaf Muscle character, I pitched that to him and he loved it. He gave me some promo time and then he loved the backstage promo and he was like hey Petey listen, he’s like this character that you are doing back here in this promo, if you don’t portray the same character in the ring this isn’t going to work. I’m thinking like man I have a match tonight this is the only time I can do it, so I go out there it was like a four way match Scott Steiner was in there I had some interaction with him. I get backstage and Vince is standing there with a straight look on his face and he goes hey Petey, come here. I’m like oh shit, he goes why didn’t you tell me that you could do this earlier? Oh my god this is great, we could team you with Scotty down the line, and I’m like oh thank god.

PETEY WILLIAMS: Russo used to make fun of [Steiner] right to his face. He’s like you know what we’re taking one take whatever you say, we’re taking it. [Scott] is like no no no, I don’t want to stumble with my words. Vince is like no man that’s good. He’s like you have all this pent up frustration you want to release it. [Scott] is like I don’t want to look stupid! [Vince] is like no this is good this is great.

This past Saturday at CLASH To The Future: Part 4, #1 Contender “Ace High” Cameron Skyy & “GQ” Gavin Quinn defeated CLASH Champion Petey Williams & the “Murderous Monk” J. Miller in the evening’s Main Event. The match was everything one expected it to be: hard hitting & emotional as two of the hottest rivalries in CLASH came to a head.

With this thought process in mind, CLASH officials have signed 4 huge singles matches to take place at Fight Against Cancer 5 on April 28th pitting Petey Williams, Cameron Skyy, Gavin Quinn & J. Miller each against an opponent of their rivals choosing! These matches, dubbed “Pick Your Poison” will be announced in the days and weeks to come exclusively here on CLASHWRESTLING.COM!

In fact, the first “Pick Your Poison” Match has already been signed as Cameron Skyy has chose CLASH Interim CEO Dragon Greed as the opponent for Petey Williams! Greed is a former CLASH Champion and without question the toughest opponent Skyy has ever faced in his career. Will Greed prove to be as big an obstacle for the current CLASH Champion? Who will Petey Williams chose to face Cameron Skyy? And who will Gavin Quinn & J. Miller choose as one another’s “Poison?” This ruling brings forth a number of questions, will you be there to see them all answered? There’s only one way to do so! Join us for our annual fundraising event FIGHT AGAINST CANCER 5 ON APRIL 28TH where event proceeds are donated to the American Cancer Society!

PETEY WILLIAMS: I don’t think [Savage] did much for the company honestly; literally he was there for like a PPV and maybe two TV shows. I think he was there for honestly a month, I mean he didn’t do much. I remember Christopher Daniels asked him he’s like, Mr. Macho Man or whatever you called him, Mr. Savage, we have a match and I’m going to do a top rope elbow, I just wanted to make sure that’s okay with you. He’s like brother more power to you because I can’t do it anymore. I mean Macho Man’s great, just hearing him talk and stuff like that, I’m like this is what this guy is like in real life.

Why Christian Left Company For WWE

PETEY WILLIAMS: I remember when he left [in 2008], at that point it was a whole different locker room morale than when we first got down to Orlando, what was that 2004 or something. It was just totally different, I don’t know if you could just see the change because I’m one of the few guys who had been there from 2004 to that point. It was like a whole different company, it didn’t seem like everybody was on the same page. It almost felt like everybody was out for themselves. I think they were, I think Christian did the right thing he was looking out for himself. He’s probably like this isn’t for me I’m going to go back. Honestly I know he took a big pay cut to come to TNA, he was making way more in WWE. I think he just wanted to have a change really, see if he could elevate this company. He had a lot of great matches and stuff like that did a lot of great things for TNA, that’s what I’m thinking now that he decided that he did as much as he could with TNA and I’m going back. I’m going where the money is.

 Lockdown PPV

PETEY WILLIAMS: Honestly I thought Lockdown was a little bit over the top. Doing a whole PPV with all cage matches and then like every cage match had a stipulation. I’m like man it lost a lot of its luster. The cage match was the big thing on the show. Now we’re doing every match as a cage match, I remember Dusty Rhodes had the book and me and Eric Young teamed up, and Dusty was like maybe one of you two guys bleed. And I’m thinking, everybody is going to be bleeding so if I bleed it’s not going to mean anything whatsoever because everybody is going to be cutting themselves in the cage and stuff like that. I thought the cage was a little bit overdone, I really did.
