October

  • 9 - Kurt Angle makes his TNA debut at a TNA Impact taping in Orlando, Florida (aired on October 19) during a segment with Samoa Joe. During the segment, Joe, who had recently stolen the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt from then-champion Jeff Jarrett, is being interviewed by Mike Tenay in the ring when Tenay presents him with a document from TNA officials, delivering an ultimatum to Joe to return the NWA title belt to Jarrett or he will be fired from TNA. After reading the document, Joe rips it up and throws it down on the mat, then tells Tenay "There's your answer!" Angle then arrives in the Impact Zone and enters the ring, then after a brief staredown with Joe in which the Samoan superstar lays the NWA title belt down on the mat and figuratively dares him to "cross the line", Angle headbutts Joe in the face and hits him with the Olympic Slam, then picks up the title belt. As Angle acknowledges the crowd, Joe, who was busted open legitimately by the headbutt, gets back up and starts brawling with Angle, leading referees and TNA security crew to rush in from backstage to separate Angle and Joe. During the melee, Jarrett ran in, reclaimed his NWA title belt and ran backstage with it [1]
