[edit] The Start of S.E.X.

The angle began with a masked man known only as "Mr. Wrestling III" interfering in matches. On November 20, 2002 during a weekly TNA PPV, Jeff Jarrett defeated Ron Killings to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship with help from Mr. Wrestling III, who then unmasked and turned out to be Vince Russo. The following week, Russo gave Jarrett the choice to be with him or against him, which Jarrett declined, much to Russo's dismay. This led to numerous attacks on Jeff Jarrett. On December 4, 2002 Russo officially formed a faction called S.E.X. (Sports Entertainment Xtreme) with the Harris Brothers and B.G. James.

This led to a takeover style storyline, where wrestlers would turn their backs on TNA and instead join S.E.X., similar to the nWo storyline in WCW. On March 4, 2003 after months of feuding, Jarrett hit Russo on an emotional level when he showed a video with Russo's children pleading with him to stop what he was doing which led him to go into a fit and going as far as threatening to beat his children. On March 5, 2003 Vince Russo "retired" in order to become a better father which started the decline of S.E.X.

[edit] S.E.X. Ends

On March 19, 2003 Sports Entertainment Xtreme became disarray. With Vince Russo gone, Glenn Gilberti tried to take control of the group. As soon as this happened, Sonny Siaki also tried to become the leader. On June 18, 2003, Vince Russo said he "owned" the S.E.X. name, leaving them without a gimmick.

After a while the S.E.X. faded from existence and it's former members returned to TNA.

[edit] Impact Of S.E.X.

The main goal of S.E.X. was to take control of the rest of TNA. It was one of the first total promotion storylines in TNA Wrestling history. It led to the creation of the kayfabe position of "Director of Authority", who would be the on-screen face of the "TNA Championship Committee" to the present day. It was first held by Erik Watts, then By Russo, who later turned face. After Russo it was held by Dusty Rhodes.
