WHO WILL BREAK FIRST – RAVEN OR RHINO?
NWA World Heavyweight Champion Raven to defend against Rhino at “Unbreakable” on September 11 live and exclusively on Pay-Per-View.
Nashville, TN (September 5, 2005) Throughout his TNA Wrestling career, Raven has always put his body on the line to accomplish his maniacal goals. From the pure mayhem of his signature “House of Fun” matches to barbaric hardcore wars, the NWA World Heavyweight Champion has truly defined the term “Unbreakable” in wrestling.
However, on Sunday, September 11 live and exclusively on Pay-Per-View, Raven will defend the gold against a star perhaps more destructive and unstoppable – “The Man Beast” Rhino.
Shortly after winning the NWA World Heavyweight Title at Slammiversary, Raven knew he would be a marked man in TNA Wrestling. Jeff Jarrett, Abyss and The Alpha Male Monty Brown all wanted their shot at the title, but it was Rhino who earned the number-one contender status after beating Raven in the tag team main event at Sacrifice.
Raven and Rhino are no strangers to each other. They’ve crossed paths throughout their hardcore careers, bloodying each other like two out-of-control battering rams. However, this time the prize is a crown jewel of professional wrestling in the NWA World Heavyweight Title, and both stars are promising to annihilate each other by any means necessary to walk out with the gold.
Truth be told – the bout will be barbaric and not for the weak of stomach. Two of TNA’s top juggernauts are on a collision course and the chaos won’t cease until one man is broken. The question is – can Raven find a way to avoid the gore and stop Rhino? Or, will “The Man Beast” walk out of “Unbreakable” the new world champion?
Tune in on Sunday, September 11 live and exclusively on Pay-Per-View to find out!
