On Wednesday, November 5th, NWA-TNA presented NWA-TNA PPV 69 from the TNA Asylum in Nashville, TN.
The show opens with footage from Japan; NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett hit Hulk Hogan over the head with a guitar, busting him wide open.

That led to Jarrett whipping Hart with a leather belt. Footage of Jarrett winning the NWA-TNA World Championship the same night is shown when he defeated AJ Styles.
