The following is from TNA’s official preview for tonight’s Impact Wrestling broadcast:
Tonight, TNA Wrestling presents IMPACT on Spike TV. The show tonight presents 10 TNA superstars with the opportunity of a lifetime. However, only 1 superstar will be able to mine his way through The Manhattan Center in New York City leaving with a guaranteed Championship match. It’s appropriately called the “NYC Gold Rush.”
As the sun sets on our summer in NYC so too will the dreams of 9 TNA Wrestlers. As per Executive Director Kurt Angle, tonight there will be 5 qualifying encounters, pitting 10 of TNA’s best in one on one competition. The winners advance to a chaotic, frantic & One Fall to a Finish finale that will surely be brutal.
Why would these men put themselves in such a violent affair? For the prize! The winner earns a guaranteed Championship Opportunity, at anytime, for ANY Championship he sees fit for the taking.
Why wouldn’t the winner simply choose the World Title? Well, would you want to face The Destroyer, Lashley? Would a “Bro” pick any title other than a Tag Team Title? What if a beaten down Samoa Joe was simply too weak to defend The X Title?
