Kris and David are joined by Kevin Lyon a.k.a.TARO (@loknloll) to discuss the week that was November 29-December 5, 2004. Topics of discussion in Part 1 include: 

• The uncertainty of TNA's existence as there were major problems mounting behind the scenes.
• An in-depth rundown of TNA's "Turning Point" PPV which, despite the turmoil behind the scenes, was one of the best in-ring PPV's of the era, featuring America's Most Wanted vs. XXX in one of the greatest matches in company history.
• AJPW's Real World Tag League doing terrible business at the gate.
• Kenta Kobashi facing off with Mike Awesome in NOAH.
• The beginning of ZERO-ONE MAX.

…and more. Listen to to Part 2 for Latin America, the indies (including Revolution Pro’s final show), and WWE.
