A casual reminder, we want NWA tna Xplosion. Don't let this rest, somebody out there has these tapes and we deserve to see them!
This is it the grandaddy of the millions of tna wrestling factions. This is Sports Entertainment Xtreme a faction which was supposed to be about stopping tradition and moving with the times. Similar to The New blood in WCW except even worse and lead by Vince Russo. There was no true main eventer in the group and they had to rely on Disco Inferno. No one even bothered to stop them after Jeff Jarrett and AJ Styles got bored of them. Even raven got tired of hanging out with them.

man shove it squad are you all ready for
a little sex
i know i sure am this stupid lockdown
has damaged my love life
there's nothing like when you've got
that one bird you've been flying after
for months
you can't get her legs out your mind and
finally
you get it back to your nest and wow
hold it right there another bird
we ain't talking about the sex you were
thinking of no no
in fact it's quite the opposite and it
involves vince russo
that changes your thought process before
we start today's video
i want to get a bit of a discussion
going has your opinion on vince russo
changed it all in the last year
i'm starting to see more support for him
on the internet if i'm used to
or do you still think he's the worst
thing that ever happened to wrestling
from my perspective as bad as some of
his ideas and storylines are
and yes today's video is an example of
that i like having things to laugh at i
mean funny is entertaining for me and
even if they're not meant to be funny i
miss them
i miss the storyline driven wrestling
shows also
keep watching for aj stars with a
chainsaw the proudest moment of aj's
wrestling career
anyway it's vince russo sports
entertainment extreme faction
sex sells get it got it shove it
this was the first major storyline in
tna wrestling
guess what it was a faction invading
storyline it certainly set the pace for
future storylines to change the
direction of the company
tna was a real mixture for the first 15
or so episodes amazing wrestling matches
mixed in with some of the strangest
segments of wrestling history tna would
have a lot of faction
invading storylines in the future but
this one today was the granddaddy of
them all the whole idea behind the
faction was it would be reality based
the promos would not be planned out at
all russo says when it was time for a
segment involving him he would go and
hide in the car park and sneak into the
building when it was his time to be on
telly he would show up without warning
this was to capture the wrestler's true
reactions to things that were happening
unfortunately it only seemed like mike
tennant reacted properly
because you're listening to the hawt
talk it all started off with who else
but slapnuts
he'd been chasing the nwa heavyweight
title for most of 2002.
he finally had a shot against truth but
he couldn't seem to put him away
a white hoodie man called mr wrestling
free had been appearing in tna before
this and he would interfere here and
help giant win the belt from truth he
smashed him with a guitar
what would you expect a glass hammer
this would be very appropriate for jeff
and tiana's almost all of his matches
ended with a guitar
the masked man then revealed himself to
be vince russo
he seemed to want to be friends with
jeff jarrett russo was already working
behind the scenes as a booker
but now he would be having a tv role he
introduced himself as the antichrist to
professional wrestling
dude i was watching the tna
thing the other day and this dude vince
russo
he stole my anti-clothes gimmick man
i'll go back to carolina i'll go tell my
stolen friend
and we gonna get you man russo
immediately started going on a shoot
tirade
he spoke about how he gave jeff jarrett
his guitar and how unhappy jeff was at
being asked to lose to china in 1999.
russo there admits that tla didn't stand
for total non-stop
action and instead it stood for
something
more else the name tna but tna didn't
need
total non-stop action
this product sucks
the wwe sucks
and vince russo is here to save the day
once again russo asked jarrett to join
him as there was a big change coming to
tna
truth would rematch direct but jeff
would win after refusing bruce's health
and hitting the stroke three times on
truth
in true tna fashion russo demanded an
answer from jeff on if he would join him
he asked for an answer tonight but then
the show goes off the air
ha ha well that's typical tna isn't it i
guess we'll have to wait till next week
for the answer
we certainly got something on the next
show roddy piper turned up at tna and he
immediately interrogated russo about
owen hart's death
something might surprise you it would
turn out that jarrett was not with vince
russo after all
well grab your necks and shove it down
your throats
road dog's dad is bullet bob he's the
disgusting moldy authority figure at the
time
he looked really old and he was really
really gray and boring
this proved it was fair when people
spoke about nwa being stuck in the past
and being old-fashioned
so that's why russo was going against
them russo told the crowd on what they
wanted to see in their wrestling
and they all wanted sex so russo says
that we're about to witness the birth of
sports entertainment extreme
randomly russo starts acknowledging ring
girl afina who was extremely popular in
the asylum
despite that tna would never put her on
tv for some reason
he bought her into the ring and told her
to show her boobs to the crowd
it was a very strange and uncomfortable
segment with russo calling her ugly over
and over again
it didn't help that tna never explained
who she was prior to this
he might as well have said here's this
extremely popular girl that none of you
at home have ever heard of
just explain her backstory then it'll
make sense it got even uglier when the
nazi twins aligned themselves with russo
these were the first two guys to join
the faction ugh i don't want to watch
this not starting off well is it
they hit athena with the h-bomb twice
that old fossil
you know bullet bob he asked them why
they did this and then tells them
it won't be fired because he'd prefer to
punish them in the ring
it's not starting out well for russo's
faction and it went even worse for vince
russo's faction when they lost what was
essentially a handicap situation against
jeff tara
i think he needs some new guys well he
wouldn't be waiting long because that
same night bg james smashed truth of a
chair and joined russo
then paul bearer randomly turned up
the former road dog now bg james was the
mouthpiece when russo wasn't around
he said him and russo were responsible
for dx after a few more weeks three more
guys were added to scx
cut heading was jumped by skipper
daniels and loki
whilst this was going on road dog was on
commentary doing a jr
impression
[Music]
[Applause]
loki especially has been a big fan
favorite up to this point it seems like
a strange move to put him in this hill
group
it was explained shortly after that loki
was being forced to work a heavy
schedule by nwa
so he wanted to join scx daniels joined
because nwa couldn't afford to keep
flying him in for california
and skipper joined because he asked for
a pay rise but tna wouldn't do it
so russo agreed to get him laid twice a
day that was enough to get him to join
the show then started to dramatically
change the amount of wrestling reduced
for the first time
and the in-ring segment increased around
this time jeff jarrett the ultimate good
guy tried to take down sports
entertainment extreme but he was
outnumbered
the next man to join the faction was
david flair for [ __ ] sake
he snuck into the ring and attacked kurt
henning with an axe handle
for those of you who have been living
under a rock or just plain stupid
i've been doing a series called ring of
the hawk where i watch every match of a
wrestler
i did cut headaches run and his final
match was against david flair
in an axe handle on the pole match and
let me tell you something
that match can shove it it's one of the
worst of all time anyway getting back on
track
russo wasn't anywhere near done as a
woman called desire debuted
she then helped sunny shiaki capture the
x division title and russo then used her
to convince sunny to join sex
he said that she would do any sexual
acts he wanted he said sonny had all the
potential to be a massive star
well considering this faction was meant
to be reality based that whole thing
with her is gonna come true soon
that same night it looked like aj starza
joined the group because he attacked
jeff jarrett and a giant brawl
russo ended the show that night by
destroying the entire tna set to show
how in control his group are at this
point
it'd been two months and it was now
january russo revealed that he was still
allowed to beer because he had friends
in high places
he continued to shoot type promos some
of them were actually the most energetic
promos on the show even if you didn't
agree of what he was saying
it was still interesting to listen to he
carried on preaching wrestling
revolution
and he went against the old fossils and
said he didn't care about their history
because they were old and making the
show look bad
christ he sounds like the hawk on the
nwa reviews
loki skipper and daniels were often
teamed up and the group became known as
xxx they were a popular part of early
tna so that's something good that's come
out of sex
even if jarrett did beat all three of
them in the same night he can shove it
the road warriors then randomly joined
the fight as they didn't like russo
stars continued to be teased as a member
but he never seemed to hang out with the
guys
next to join the faction was beyond
boring mike sanders i'm gonna
fall asleep who said he'd been hired by
vince russo to scout the best wrestlers
for the group
it takes one to no one by the way mike
unfortunately he would be a major part
of this setup
the faction continued to be booked
weekly as dusty rhodes debuted in
tiernan took out the entire faction on
his own
russo's next claim was that he created
the undertaker and he had his entire
faction beat up paul bearer
scx continued assisting styles of his
matches that he continued to not
officially be aligned with them
things started getting really strange
when nikita kolov dressed as mr
wrestling 4 interfered in a match taking
out dusty rose
the problem was that as strong as russo
was on the mic his guys weren't getting
any experience and talking
russo literally did everything well
except for one guy
one guy that no one wanted to hear from
beyond boring mike sanders
he quickly scouted and signed arrested
to sports entertainment extreme
this is ashley hudson who's billed as an
australian champion
he lives up to every single australian
wrestling stereotype that you could
possibly imagine
just shoved all over him don't get too
used to seeing him folks he'll be gone
after this show and done with wrestling
entirely
oh ashley hudson i don't know who you
are but i'm sure if i did i'd have told
everyone that you suck
sanders tried to recruit jorge estrada
because he liked the flying elvises but
he didn't seem too keen
sports entertainment extreme would add
more gold to the group as loki and
skipper captured the tag titles from amw
don't get too excited they needed
constant interference to help them win
and it didn't give them any credibility
it was happy days per faction though as
they held a party in the back
a common trend of this group were the
films of the sports entertainment locker
room this room seemed to be a little
tiny square located at the back of the
arena
it was almost a broom cupboard it was
literally disgustingly painted room with
one toilet cubicle
it must have stanked like as for nikita
kolov
he was asked to decide if he was going
to side with nwa or scx and he answered
that by smacking dusty rhodes one but
then he disappeared for a month so i
guess he didn't join sex
that same night jarrett defended his
title against scx in a match that any
normal man would have lost but not
slapnuts
however after his win he was attacked by
a debuting raven who was clearly with
russo and scx
raven even went as far as stealing his
belt jesus how many members is that now
i think i've lost count like 20 i think
less recap
russo the nazi twins bg james loki
daniel skipper sonny siaki desire david
flair beyond boring mike sanders it's
not the most exciting list in the world
is it
raven put jarrett for a table and he
continued to keep hold of the title
estrada eventually turned down mike
sanders
and then disco inferno joined the group
attacking him with a steel chair
mike sanders introduced him as the
director of talent development
what's that 12 people now you might have
expected bg james to be mentioned more
but he was too distracted by feuding
with his mouldy family so he's a bit of
a non-factor in this group
in fact at some point he just disappears
and stops hanging around with them
and then he moves on to better things of
his old wwe friends
scx were giving harrison storm a lesson
in group sex
and then the rock and roll express
debuted in tna
then they hit harrison storm with a
steel chair and joined scx
15 guys aren't these guys the exact
thing russo wanted to get away from
it makes no sense why would russo want
to hang around with these two old
fossils
sex seemed to completely derail truth
and lin by the way who were main
eventers prior to this
now truth was doing the job to be on
boring mike sanders
then tony shavani turned up dressed like
a coke head
he complained he's not had a job in
wrestling for two years it's probably
due to that coke problem
he talks about how he hung out with the
wrestlers in the 80s then he starts
arguing with mike terney while the crowd
champ boring
russo comes out and offers tony shivani
a job great so now we've got two
decrepit old announcers feuding
two almost crippled wrestlers from the
80s beating young tna talents
and we've got road dog feuding with his
oap dad and mold brother
this isn't really going well well i
needn't have worried because tony
shavonny and the rockers were both gone
within a couple of shows
so they were completely pointless jeff
jarrett was then kidnapped by scx
wearing army gear they all just turned
up one week dress like this for no
reason
russo then gave disco inferno a task
because he was in charge of character
development
he asked him to help make geoff jarrett
a better wrestler
he said he wanted him to do nothing but
swear and think about tits and ass
that same night triplex lost the titles
after one of the worst botches i've ever
seen
it was supposed to be a double pin where
they couldn't decide a winner instead
one referee had to wait for the other to
count the three
by the way i think they'd dress like
army men because the show ends with a 15
minute war
but why cover their faces are they too
ugly my question was answered minutes
later
the whole point in this was so at the
end of the show jarrett could reveal
himself to be under a mask
and beat up everyone a wild slap nuts
appeared
bullet bob was then replaced as the
director of authority by another old
grey relic jj dillon
and russo was extra livid about this
honestly why would new fans want to hear
about russo's hatred of kevin sullivan
and jj dillon
nobody could care about these guys so
the storyline wasn't going
well and it was made worse that sunny
siaki lost his ex-division title to kid
cash who despite botching the finish
still made it look awesome
disco was starting to get angry with
mike sanders because everyone was
because he's mike sanders he's really
annoying
his problem that mike was not bringing
him any wrestlers to develop
disco was desperately funning through
magazines for men who swing that way in
search of new talent
mike sanders was so swarmy and punchable
this whole time
jarrett continued to beat down the
entire faction on his own it had been
mumps at this point it was clear that
styles was not a member
instead he was just friends of russo and
he wanted to take jeff's belt away
after two months of being employed by
rcx disco finally developed a restless
character
he introduced us to a drug addict
adulterer who died of fatter bee slug
ladies and gentlemen let me introduce
you to disgraceland
we're now up to 16 wrestlers he's an
obese man who takes breaks during the
match to eat peanut butter and banana
sandwiches
mike today's flipping out on commentary
he complains that glenn gilbert's ideas
in wcw consisted of the invisible man
and a group of martian wrestlers led by
mike sanders
you would think a person like this would
be booked to lose but disgraceland
actually wins
next up vince russo pays an unwanted
visit to jeff jarrett's family home
unfortunately none of this was on camera
but instead we got to hear about how
russo stayed up all night cuddling and
kissing jeff
this didn't actually happen by the way
the conclusion is that apparently russo
managed to convince jarrett to sign for
scx
guess what that didn't happen either
it's been about four months now and this
faction isn't even living up to its name
it's not very entertaining it's
certainly not extreme in fact i'm
surprised by the lack of tna
russo's friendship with aj started to
cause friction with raven who was
supposed to be russo's main eventer
suddenly sex added two new members to
the faction as the hot shots randomly
joined
for those of you who don't know the hot
shots are famous for a few things
squeezing their junk
losing and looking like a young cm punk
and a depressed version
of shane douglas sonny siaki was now
calling himself the ace in the hole
and he tried to boss everyone around in
the locker room they pretty much hated
him
russo's real kids were now bought into
the storyline as they were on camera
saying what a bad dad russo isn't that
he's never
at home russo got very emotional and
says that when he gets home he's gonna
beat their asses
and this is where the faction dies well
not straight away it dies a very slow
drawn-out death
these might seem like just the first
cracks but trust me the house just came
down
david flair left the group without an
announcement as he joined generation
next a group consisting of eric watts
and grandmaster sexy
it's crazy to think that there were two
such bad factions existing at the same
time in tna
russo was absent from tv for the next
week and was emotional about what his
kids had said
and the group started to bicker without
a leader nobody knew at the time but
russo wasn't really coming back
his association with the group was done
basically you'll see why later on
with russo gone eventually wrestlers did
start listening to sunny siaki
even though they were much more
experienced than him the hot shots then
got into abroad with the nazi twins
literally a week after they joined sex
and now they're gone
disgraceland was gone the next week
after siaki took disco and sanders away
from a match they are watching and he
was left on his own
so after that loss that's the last time
you see disgraceland but then disco
introduced us to his latest creation
called hollywood
he literally ditched disgraceland on the
same show it's ridiculous
the whole faction were just a bunch of
bad tempered losers and the whole of
sports entertainment extreme had a mass
brawl
this was caused by sunny siaki boss and
sanders around even though he's proven
to be completely useless and beyond
boring
desire stood up for a man and the new
lady hollywood attacked her
it eventually got broken up the karma
heads in the situation were the nazi
brothers christ you know you're in
trouble when these two are the
peacekeepers
siaki continued to try and take control
of stx and he tried to recruit dilo
brown into the group
this was supposed to be the job of
beyond boring mike sanders dela refused
and smacked sunny one because he kept
making fun of dilo's wwe gimmicks
nobody comes to sonny's rescue and he's
a bit upset about this back in the
locker room no one cared either and
suddenly continued to have problems with
beyond boring
then suddenly disco inferno stepped up
and delivered a powerful speech
he also told daniels and loki to stop
disappearing to japan
well i did wonder where they keep going
there was some good news for the group
though as triplex recovered their vacant
tag titles by cheating
and there was finally gold back in the
camp disco continued developing
characters and issued an open challenge
to any girl willing to show their ass in
a match against hollywood
she ended up fighting cage dancer
lollipop whose boob falls out and it's
all blurred
obvious these two are not trained
wrestlers suddenly hollywood rips her
top off and jabri sprints over to cover
her whilst he does his giant bug eyes
finally some actual tna on this show
this was honestly the first time this
has happened which is crazy for a
faction named sex
they just start really doing anything
that affects major storylines anymore
they just kind of exist
raven is a main eventer but he's barely
even with them he spends more time with
his ecw
guys disco continues to try and recruit
dilo for the group
due to their friendships with vince
russo and from this it's clear that
disco is now in charge of the group
despite the masses of tv time they were
getting they lost most of their matches
i'm talking they literally got four
segments to show
hollywood continued to provide the tna
for the group and disco inferno
started humiliating her and talking to
her like vince mcmahon in a trish
stratos storyline
and what the hell are you doing you
little
you're supposed to be the good ass
sports entertainment stream and that's
air
oh big deal last week you got some
stripper to show her boobs i want you
to get out there and show us adidas
boobs you got that
raven beat stars in a ladder match after
disco interfered to help raven and he
powerbomb stars for a table out of the
ring
this then led to the best moment of sex
after goldilocks finished singing
america the beautiful
aj styles was shown running through the
arena of a chainsaw
he kicked scx's door in and then made
lots of hilarious threats that ended
with the infamous moment of aj styles
calling disco inferno a homophobic slur
i love this segment so much it's so
stupid
why did they give him a chainsaw why
does he sound so unthreatening
the look of pure shock on all their
faces this might have been one of those
segments that russo spoke about the
start that nobody knew was gonna happen
right now
[Music]
30 seconds 30 seconds i'm going to slide
your body parts off how about that
poor disco i honestly can't understand
why this thing even exists without russo
it makes even less sense
what's their goal why do they exist why
doesn't the nwa have a problem with them
anymore
none of this was explained and the
storyline just continued without russo
they desperately tried to cling to dilo
brown and made a deal that he would join
them if they helped him win the world
title from slapnuts but they were
unsuccessful
anyway because jarrod is the champion
you know how it goes say it all with me
now
fights the entire faction off on his own
ref bump
stroke jarrett wins he also hits mickey
james with a chair shot so how's that
going for it so dilo won't be joining
their group
chris harris was often seen in the sex
locker room and it was teased for a
while that he was joining them
storm wasn't happy about this they
always wanted to push harris on his own
but back in the day they never pulled
that trigger on that solo run
he does tell i'm boring some home truce
which was hilarious
nobody likes you over there chris do you
really think i
give a sh what boys in that locker room
like me let me ask you let me ask you
what do you think about mike sanders
what's your opinion
of mike sanders honest honest
i think you're an [ __ ] you think i'm
an [ __ ]
aj would eventually get his hands on
disco inferno and of course because
disco is an sex wrestler he lost
suddenly with no introduction it's bart
gunn who's in sax with no explanation
he's talking about the brawl for which
was relevant a few years before this
he has one match and lost to perry
saturn and then he's gone thanks for
coming back gun
the final nail was put in the coffin in
april as an obese ex-cab driver david
young turned on his friend athena and
joined scx
because that's what this faction needed
a completely irrelevant jobber who's
been doing nothing
zero zilch not worth a single hawk
further
raven was still failing and capturing
the world title so disco inferno decided
that he would take a go
plus raven didn't even know if he was in
sax anymore he seemed to be more
interested in his ecw buddies
disco entered the gauntlet match and
eliminated aj styles yes you heard that
right
it came down to disco and sabu and then
raven interfered and didi cheated sabu
so disco won the match so we finally
have a legit
constant sex member getting a push and
it's disco inferno
is this the badass main event you'd all
hoped for
that same night a young chris saban
captured the x-division belt with help
from triplex and he joined the group
they also tried to recruit julio de niro
and a goofy young mickie james but only
lasted for about a week before they
prefer to side with raven
they built up disco for weeks to
challenge for jeff jarrett's world title
disco even got a win over raven after
vince russo returned and hit raven with
a bat okay i'm interested now
this might have some energy going for it
so sex now
have a chance to own all the belts in
tna it was a main event that we were all
supposed to take
seriously jeff jarrett versus disco
inferno for the world title
well you know how this goes ref bump
russo then turns on disco and hits him
with a bat and then jarrod hits the
stroke and it's over
out of the blue russo turned on his own
team
russo leaves through the sex area of the
arena and they're so useless they don't
even try to stop him
what a bunch of losers so why did russo
turn on his boys
well it was a week later and he helped
aj styles capture his first world title
so it seemed that rousso could see that
sex was a sinking ship and aj stars was
on the rise and they planted the seeds a
long time ago that him and aj were
friends
the factions struggled along for a
little while long with xxx dropping the
belts to amw
the same night disco inferno then
announced that they are no longer
allowed to use the scx name
somehow it called on for a couple more
weeks again before ending without any
official announcements
the losers all just went their own way
and most of them continued losing
disco formed a new group called the new
york connection which was even less
entertaining
the nazi boys were relegated to the tna
bishop explosion before leaving that
year
mike sanders would leave tna straight
away with no proper comeuppance
considering how smarmy and whiny he'd
been he deserved to get smacked out
sayaki would wrestle for a couple more
years in tna having plenty of matches
but you'd never have as much attention
as he got during the sex run and he'd
never get to live up to the potential
that vince russo said that he had
and this was all because he had to
donate his other kidney to his brother
and retire from wrestling
sonny's manager desire broke her back
the same month that the angle ended
she'd finish up wrestling in 2004 after
not wanting to bump anymore and becoming
pregnant with a third child
sunny sayaki is the dad of that child
for real so there's something positive
that came out of the sex angle
she then put on a load of weight and
ballooned 252 pounds jeez that's heavier
than i am
and then she lost half of it by going on
the biggest loser
and i ain't talking about sports
entertainment extreme
xxx didn't gain much from a character
perspective but all three guys would
have a place in tna for a while
they were established from their time in
sex as three guys who worked well
together and could have a good match of
anyone if anything it gave them more of
a purpose other than just taking it in
turns challenging for the expel
plus i mean come on david young mike
sanders the nazis
i mean these guys were always going to
do better than their colleagues well
that's it i was expecting this faction
to be an nwo rip-off it
wasn't i don't think they were trying to
take over the company they started off
just trying to change it so it was more
about the younger guys with a different
mentality
in fact after russo left i have no idea
what their aim was
i guess you could compare this more to
new blood in wcw
unfortunately it was just a collection
of mainly their most boring wrestlers
shoved in one little room in the back of
the arena
with raven drifting in and out of the
storyline this group had no permanent
main event
who was the highest singles wrestler in
the group disco inferno sunny sayaki
and i like sunny i do but this wasn't
working for him and i don't think it was
meant to either
ultimately the biggest problem with this
faction was that it was supposed to be
about
leaving tradition in the past but russo
spent more time cutting shoot promos
about things that happened in wcw wwe
five years earlier
and talking about the wrestling audience
that left after the attitude era
and then it dragged on for way longer
than you can imagine for no good reason
after russo left
and if you don't agree with that i'll
remove you like a pest
