TNA No Surrender PPV Results – 9/14/08
Location: Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Commentators: Mike Tenay & Don West
Report by: Adam Martin of WrestleView.com

– The TNA “Cross The Line” promo hits.

– A video package runs looking at the role of a pro wrestler is more than just being a “performer” and how they put their bodies on the line. The video then focuses on Kurt Angle, Booker T, Christian Cage and TNA World Champion Samoa Joe. This was very well done.

– A graphic opening then hits welcoming us to No Surrender. We go live to the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada where a series of pyro goes of.

– Sting’s music hits to kick off the show. Sting walks out to a huge reaction. Sting grabs a mic and lets out a WOOOOOOOO. The music cuts and we hear a loud “TNA” chant. Sting said it feels too good to be back in Canada. He adds, “Stiz-ing in the Hizz-ouse.” Wow, probably wouldn’t have said that at his age, but we’ll go with it. The crowd starts up a “YOU’RE A LEGEND” chant. Sting thanks them and said he has finalized contract negotiations to face the winner of tonight’s Four Ways to Glory match at Bound For Glory next month. He said he wants to talk about something he has been mentioning recently. Sting said tonight you will see tons of wrestling talent. He said just because you have talent doesn’t mean you are the best at your game or the best at life. Sting said you have to walk the walk and talk the talk as one of his good friends told him. The fans let out a “WOOOOOOO.” Sting brings up respect and said he can’t let this one go. He said what separates the men from the boys is respect. Sting said there are some true men backstage, but there are also snot nosed baby brats back there as well. He said he brings his cause all the way to Canada because 10 years ago, another man fought for the same cause he is fighting for and someone you can all identity with. Sting says this man was Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Big reaction. He said Bret fought for the same thing he is fighting for right now and will take up where Bret left off. Sting said he is not even going to think about retirement until people like Samoa Joe and AJ Styles know what respect is all about. Sting ends it saying, “AJ and Joe, it’s showtime!” Sting’s music hits and he heads up the ramp to the back.

– We see footage from earlier today of Christian Cage arriving to the arena.

– At ringside, Mike Tenay and Don West welcome us to the PPV. Tenay brings up that Booker T was not able to make it to Canada tonight for the PPV due to issues with Hurricane Ike. They wish the best to everyone in that area and a speedy recovery. Both rundown the card for tonight’s PPV.
