02.28.04 | You can be certain that new NWA Director Of Authority Vince
Russo will once again make his presence felt this Wednesday (3/3/04)
on the TNA PPV. Russo has promised that he will have something special
in store for both NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett and # 1
contender Wildcat Chris Harris as the two get closer to their highly
anticipated Worlds Title showdown on March 17.In addition, you can
expect the Juggalo Nation to be in full force at the TNA Asylum when
the Insane Clown Posse confront Glen Gilberti, David Young and Kid
Kash.

One week away from a second edition of America's X Cup, look for Team
NWA to oppose a three man squad from the Orient, the Team Japan X
Division contingent in a six man tag match. And the NWA Worlds Tag
Team Titles will be at stake when new titleholder Abyss chooses a
partner to defend against A.J. Styles and a partner of his choosing.
Will Abyss pay back Lex Luger for his help in obtaining the title
belts? Who will A.J. select to challenge for the tag team gold? We'll
answer those questions this Wednesday night.

(international fans) to satellite providers (Dish Network viewers).
