Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* ''Earl Hebner'' got one during a match involving The Beautiful People when he proved he was [[Not Distracted By the Sexy]], but was ''smart enough'' to make out with Lacey Von Erich ''anyway'' before ejecting her from ringside.

** Yet another on the March 17th episode. AJ is doing a promo on his upcoming #1 contender match when Ric comes in to try and start another [[Hannibal Lecture]]. AJ doesn't even let Flair finish his sentence and [[Talk to The Fist|decks him to the ground]], having gotten fed up with Flair's lectures. Crosses over into [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when he states how good it felt to do so and just walks off.

** After a couple months off as the show focused on ''Slammiversary'' and ''Destination X'', the campaign for Fortune to get its own "Awesome" page went springing back in full. [[Wrestler/Sting|Sting]] had a rematch against Mr. Anderson for the World Heavyweight Championship set for July 14 after Anderson had beat him at ''Slammiversary'', but Anderson had made a [[Deal With the Devil]] by joining Immortal the week before the rematch. So during Anderson's welcoming party at the start of the show on the 14th, Sting reveals that he's got a group of friends that are going to have his back tonight to ensure he gets Anderson by himself, in the form of four [[Monster Clown|Monster Clowns]]. [[Mook Horror Show|Each of the evil clowns goes beating up an Immortal member, which continues throughout the night until Bully Ray and Gunner are the only ones left]]. Gunner goes looking for a fight with the clowns in the parking lot (Bully Ray [[Dirty Coward|chickened out]]) and gets summarily beaten down. Then they finally unmask themselves, discuss Bully Ray, and say he's taken care of. Who are the four evil clowns? You guessed it. '''Fortune'''.

** The following week on July 28, Beer Money finally shut up [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|Mexican]] [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste|America]]. After [[The Scrappy|Anarquia]] called out Beer Money in his usual grating voice from Latin hell, they came out to the ring. He continued to drone on in Spanglish, being booed all the while, until finally James Storm took the mic and told him to "[[Punctuated for Emphasis|SHUT. UP.]]" [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|And the crowd couldn't have been happier]]. After a bit of would-be [[Hypocritical Humor|racist hypocritical humor]] about Mexican America cutting grass ("would-be" because they really are that bad), Storm decided to "reintroduce" Beer Money by putting Roode over as a money-making take-no-nonsense ass-kicker and listing every country American thing about himself in the long-winded catchphrase style made famous by [[Ric Flair]] and [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]]. He then promises to kick their ass not only for the fans in the Impact Zone and at home, but also the great luchadores (like [[Wrestling Family|the Guerreros]]) and all the other Hispanics effectively disgraced by Mexican America. After a bit of green card [[That 70s Show|Red Forman]] humor (again appropriate in this case because of the targets' character bents), Storm turns it over to Roode, who puts the cap on it with Storm's catchphrase before Beer Money's music comes back on. Mexican America was just effectively silenced in a promo AT LONG LAST.

* Mr. Anderson gets one on the April 7th edition of ''Impact!''. He apparently makes a [[Deal With the Devil]] with [[Hulk Hogan]] to be made special ref of a match between Sting and RVD. After using his position to take revenge on them both, he seemingly joins Immortal, getting paraded around by two of their members and getting boos from the crowd...then smashes one of them in the ribs with a steel pipe and gives them both a Mic Check and rubs it in Hogan's face that he played him like a fiddle. Though then again, what do you expect from making a deal with a self proclaimed [[Catch Phrase|Asshole]]?

** Even better because it was [[Hoist By His Own Petard|Anderson's own idea for him to pretend to be Muta]] in the first place.

* ''August 25, 2011'': After managing to beat Fortune, Immortal prepares to beatdown [[AJ Styles]], when Mr. Anderson returns to [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|take his revenge for being put in the hospital by Immortal a few weeks ago]]. He throws [[Scott Steiner]] through a table and beats Gunner to a bloody pulp [[Hoist By His Own Petard|with the same chain he and Bully Ray had used to take out Anderson before]], all the while a ''terrified'' Bully Ray is forced to watch. Even more impressive is that '''[[Large Ham|MISTEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! ANDERSON!!!]]''' was [[Tranquil Fury|completely serious and never spoke a word the entire time]]. In hindsight, Bully Ray is probably regretting beating him down a few weeks ago...

* ''October 6, 2011'': Sting's [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] quest to get [[Hulk Hogan]] to face him at ''Bound for Glory'' and/or turn the company back over to Dixie Carter has produced several terrific moments, but none quite as gratifying as the night he finally got it done. Hogan, a week ago, had announced his "[[Ten Minute Retirement|retirement]]", and on this night was making his formal "final address", giving personal tribute to Hulkamania and to the fans "on the way out". Sting never bought it for a second; he'd [[Fridge Brilliance|seen this]] [[Finger-Poke of Doom|play out before]]. So instead of leaving it be, he came out in a red suit and Hulkamania shirt to call question to the whole thing and then to [[Engineered Public Confession|expose it as a lie through video footage of Hulk and Eric laughing about their elaborate hoax]]. Hogan finally [[Villainous Breakdown|had his meltdown]] and got so pissed off he agreed to everything Sting had been asking for this whole time on the double. The [[Open Mouth Insert Foot]] look on Hollywood's face...the [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|crowd rejoicing]] at the fact that Hulk's reign is finally ''really'' about to come to an end after he tried to play them for fools...Sting ''laughing at Hogan'' as he walked up the ramp with his music on to end the show. All freakin' '''priceless'''.
