Impact Wrestling 8/4/16…EC3 Vs Bennett…BFG Playoffs Final

Tonight, we will see Mike Bennett Vs EC3, but we see an irate Drew Galloway from last week, upset that EC3 cost him his match.

We go back to EC3 and Mike Bennett, Mike tells EC3 that his Aunt Dixie set the cards up for Mike.  He defeated the legendary Jeff Hardy.  He beat Drew Galloway, with some thanks to Ethan.  So less than 2 hours, it will be EC3 Vs “The Miracle” once again.  Mike did something nobody else has been able to do, he beat the “unbeatable”, he pinned EC3.  Because he is “The Miracle”.

EC3 admitted he beat him, he always knew Mike had the talent, but at Slammiversary, he got his redemption.  Tonight, the rubber match is in effect, and we will see who is Bound for Glory.

Bennett told EC3 the two of them would always fight it out, but Bennett will always be number one, and EC3 will be somewhere behind.

EC3 says to bring your moose gel, bring your wife, bring it all, and he will beat them all, if he has to.  Mike assures Ethan that “The Miracle” can do it all by himself.  But Ethan, turn your back for a second, and that is what will cost him the match.

Here comes Moose, EC3 has his back to him, and “The Miracle” attacks Ethan.

Later tonight, those two settle their score.

Eli Drake is ready for his King of the Mountain Title match with “Cowboy” James Storm.  There is one Eli Drake.

Yeah!!

Rosemary back story here.

Sorry ’bout your damn luck.

“Cowboy” James Storm Vs Eli Drake, for King of the Mountain Title, now.

Storm wins the match, he keeps his gimmick, he keeps his music, and most importantly, he keeps his beer.  “Cowboy” wins with Last Call.

Here comes the World Heavyweight Champion, Lashley as we go to a break.

Lashley is not here to fight Storm, at least now.  He is here, champion to champion to congratulate Storm.

They shake hands, and Lashley tells him as champions they represent winning.  But it seems in other sports, everyone gets a trophy, but you don’t see Bobby holding up a NBA Trophy, right?

Storm looks at the World Title, he likes that.  5 years ago, he beat an Olympic athlete, it was a big party that night.  Storm beat that guy in 1:00.  Lashley is just a NCAA athlete, he can beat him in 30 seconds.

Lashley said he collects titles, and he wants Storm’s title.

Storm wants his.  He knows that Storm’s face is going to hurt because of all the punches Lashley will throw.  But his foot will hurt just by stomping Lashley’s face.

Lashley told Storm they can do things 2 different ways.  He will give him a choice, unlike what Eddie Edwards received.  Either he can hand his title over to Lashley.  Or, get his ass kicked, but still hand his title over to Lashley.

Storm loves kicking ass, bitch.

Down the road, those two will face off, Title Vs Title.

Maria comes over, when Allie was running her mouth to Gail.  Maria tells Gail she will never get her Knockout Title shot.  But she will face Allie, next.

Rosemary needs to tell Bram everything, she assures him she will, and it’s good to get everything out in the open.

Gail Kim Vs Allie is now.

Maria comes back out, she says she was distracted earlier.  Gail actually has two opponents tonight.  Allie and Sienna.

Gail wins the match when Sienna accidentally hits The Silencer on Allie, Gail pins her.

Brother Nero, you obsolete mule, “Broken” Matt Hardy said.  He cost Matt the match last week, just like when they won the Tag Titles in all of the universe, they came to TNA, and won Tag Team Titles, Brother Nero cost them Tag Titles.  Next, you will learn what you have to do, you obsolete mule.

Next week, Impact Wrestling is live, the main event is set.  Title Vs Title, Storm Vs Lashley.

Remy introduces us to “Broken” Matt Hardy.

Tonight, we find out the genesis of The Hardy Family, so come on out my obsolete mule.

Jeff comes out to the ring.

Crowd is chanting Jeff’s name.

Last week, you embarrassed The Hardy Brand.  You helped that 3rd Ethan Carter, how dare you?  Jeff and Matt were brothers, and they entered the wrestling world.  But the crowd loved Jeff more, because he was nothing more than a spot monkey.  Only reason Matt came to TNA was to win Tag Team Titles with Jeff, but he was selfish enough to cost them the Tag Titles.

Matt won the World Heavyweight Title, but Jeff cost him the title.

So they are on a quest to win Tag Titles again.  It starts tonight, and they will team together.  But Jeff does everything himself, and he will win by not jumping off the top rope.

So send the two “prospects” now.

J.T. Dunn and Chad Taylor is now.

Matt and Jeff win when Jeff went up top, but Matt tagged himself in, and hit a Twist of Fate on J.T. Dunn.

But the story of this match was “Broken” Matt Hardy ate a fan from the crowd.  Literally he bit his ear, just very weird.

Al Snow’s crew is in action, next.

The Tribula and Al Snow Vs Shera and Grado.

Oh boy!!

Shera and Grado win with Sky High.  Shera pins Al Snow.

The conclusion to the Rosemary saga is next.

Rosemary killed Johnny, Bram tried to run, but Decay is there, and kidnaps him.

More or less.

Last week, EC3 cost Drew Galloway his match, but EC3 is ready for this opportunity to beat Mike Bennett, and move on to Bound for Glory.  Mike Bennett is the man who pinned EC3, and his road to Bound for Glory goes through Ethan.

Earlier in the night, EC3 is attacked by Moose and Bennett.  Bring them all, EC3 will get through anyone to get to the World Heavyweight Title.

“The Fixer” will fix anything.

Next week, Title Vs Title, winner take all.  Lashley Vs Storm on a Live Impact Wrestling.

Our main event, Bennett Vs EC3, winner moves on to Bound for Glory and face World Heavyweight Champion is now.

EC3 wins with One Percenter, after Eddie Edwards came out to counter Moose.

A great match to end the show, EC3 is heading to Bound for Glory.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

Tonight was a better show than last week.  I loved the main event, and we are now heading to the road to Bound for Glory.

I didn’t like the Hardy segment, with Matt chewing off some dude’s ear, I hope that doesn’t continue.

Looking forward to seeing Lashley Vs Storm next week, will EC3 interfere?

What were your thoughts on the show?  Send them to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 3/22/16…The New Champ Speaks

We see last week footage of Drew Galloway coming out, cashing in his briefcase, and hit Future Shock DDT to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, beating Matt Hardy.

Impact Wrestling is now.

Last week’s Impact was called one of the most chaotic Impacts in history, and at the end of the night, he is standing with this.  No matter how you feel about wrestling, this is real.  Drew Galloway is standing the TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

He has been called many names, “The Chosen One”, the fastest rising star, but he has not been handed anything.  He has gone through highest of highest, lowest of lows.  He is standing here as champ.  He wants to look at this title different.  He will do whatever it takes to put TNA on the damn map again.

I am damn ICONIC!!

Hardy comes out, and says Galloway is not a champion, he is a spineless coward.  A liar, a thief.  What he did last week was a felony robbery.

He survived 30 minutes of a handicap match against 2 of the biggest stars in TNA history, and he stole his title.  He should have called the cops.

Drew joined a rave after the win, the cops came over to bust it.  He told them he just beat Matt Hardy for the TNA Title, and they joined the party.  Matt, the future belongs to Drew Galloway.

Matt tells Drew he will get his return match tonight, or else the Matt Hardy Brand will annihilate Drew.

Galloway is ready, but here comes Jeff.

There is a line for that first shot, Matt got beat, fair and square.  But Jeff was taken out by 2 lunatics, he deserves a title shot.

Matt tells him to leave, paint some drawings, sing some ridiculous songs, but just leave.

Jeff said he isn’t going anywhere, creatures…mount up.

But here come the lunatics, and chaos takes over now.

Fighting continues, but EC3 comes out, with a chair to fight off the heels.

We won’t have a punch party and not invite EC3.  Drew, you’re the World Heavyweight Champion, and you deserve that.  But he’d be lying if he said he was the most deserved champion.  EC3 is a 2-time champion, and he lost them without being pinned, or submitted.  Drew, standing here, he respects him.  But seeing him with the World Title enrages him.  That is his life, its his passion, it’s the fire he breathes, so Jeff, with all due respect sit this one out, he wants a title shot.

Here comes “The Miracle” Mike Bennett and Maria.

Call it fait, call it the way it’s supposed to happen.  He sees all of this chaos, and he figures out who deserves a title shot, it would be him, because he last pinned Drew.

Drew tells Bennett to shut up, he would put the title on the line against anyone of you.

Dixie Carter comes out, and tells them they will fight the right way, tonight, in a gauntlet match.  The man who survives that will receive the first World Title shot.

Number One Contenders Gauntlet Title shot tonight.

Beer Money’s Open Challenge is next.

We get an order of entrance now for the Gauntlet match, Mike Bennett gets to choose.  Mike has a chance to stir the pot so to speak, and he gets to kill 2 birds with one stone, and fulfill his destiny, being World Heavyweight Champion.

Maria puts her hands on the wheel, and Mike chooses his number, he got this.

Beer Money comes out, and the Bruiser Cruiser is here.

Robbie E. speaks out, when people hear the best team names, only one team comes to the mind, Beer Money.  But you two guys came back, and it got him thinking about getting someone back.  2 guys who tanned together, 2 guys who trained together, they won Tag Titles 2 times, they are BroMans.

Beer Money Vs BroMans.

Beer Money wins the match with a DWI.  A good match here, non-stop action, but the champs prevailed.

The Decay are together for reasons most of us will never understand.  Davey Richards got caught in the bear trap of life, and now he is no more.  So does Eddie Edwards dare to fight one of them?  How about a No-DQ.

No matter what, Rosemarie tell us, this ends in decay, decay, decay.

Now Eric Young and Bram choose their numbers.

Tonight, a Gauntlet Match to determine Number One Contender to Drew Galloway’s World Title.

Eddie has the mic.  He doesn’t care who it is, come out and they will fight.  Let’s do this.

Eddie Vs Crazzy Steve, no DQ match.

Eddie picks up the win with a rollup.

Maria reminds Gail she pinned her last week, and has held the Knockout Championship for so long, but that means nothing.  She has done nothing, but what she will do is change the revolution forever.

Dixie Carter told Lashley he is lucky he was just fined after last week.  He has made enemies in a short amount of time, but if he wants it, he has it.

Earlier tonight, chaos.

More numbers chosen, Jeff Hardy’s opportunity now.

EC3 chose his numbers too, the two talk about being screwed out of their title matches last week.  EC3 wants Bennett.

Before Gail wrestles, Maria will talk, and we will listen.  Maria loves wrestling, and that is why she is the “First Lady of Professional Wrestling”.  But if Maria wins again, what will change?  Absolutely nothing.  So she went to the front office, and requested something, and they gave it to her, so first, let’s introduce The Dollhouse.

Maria sees so much potential in The Dollhouse, but they have had so many leaders.  But they haven’t done anything special with each other, and Maria wants them to be unique.  Only little girls will play with dolls, so it’s time to break up.

Jade tells Maria why should she trust her, when she trusts them.

Maria tells them she will give up her Knockouts Title shot, and give it to one of the 3.  And that has to happen, now.

Triple Threat match to face Gail Kim for Knockouts Title.  Marti Vs Jade Vs Rebel.

Jade pins both women at the same time.

Jade Vs Gail Kim, down the line.  Maria Kanellis Bennett approves.

Matt Hardy, Spud, and Tyrus all choose their numbers.

The Gauntlet match is tonight.

Last week, footage of Grady keeping his job in TNA.

Next week, a party to celebrate Grado’s TNA job.

Drew Galloway comes out before the main event, Gauntlet Match to determine the Number One Contender to the title.

Drew Galloway thinks there is too much talking, but with Drew as champion, he will step to the back, and let the action do the talking.

Lashley comes out, taunts The Pope while he comes to the ring.

Lashley hasn’t congratulated Drew yet, he wants to congratulate Drew.  He doesn’t need to ask anyone about how tough he is.  You can ask Kurt Angle, or even that bitch Pope over there.  But Lashley will beat Drew for the title.  Lashley asked Dixie to put him in the Gauntlet match, and he might as well just hand him the title.

Drew doesn’t sweat Lashley.

Ladies and gentlemen, EC3.

Lashley is the first entrant, EC3 is the second.

We’re ready.

Number 3 is….Rockstar Spud.

Number 4 is….”The Miracle” Mike Bennett.

Number 5 is….Eric Young.

Number 6 is….Tyrus.

Spud is eliminated by EC3.

Tyrus is eliminated by Lashley.

Bram eliminates Eric Young.

Bram is eliminated by Lashley.

The Pope comes in and eliminates Lashley.  EC3 eliminates him again when he came back in.

The Pope and Lashley fight it out to the back.

Number 7 is….Matt Hardy.

Number 8 is….Jeff Hardy.

Final 4 are Jeff and Matt Hardy, EC3, and Bennett.

Bennett is eliminated by EC3.

EC3 is eliminated by Matt and Bennett.

It’s now between the two Hardys.

Matt Hardy is eliminated, Jeff Hardy is the new Number One Contender.

Next week, Jeff Hardy Vs Drew Galloway, for the World Title.

The show ends here.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

The show wasn’t as good as last week, but we know who Drew faces for the first title defense, and it will be a classic.

I also loved the interaction we saw with Pope and Lashley, you have to figure those two will hook up.

Maria did her thing, and no issue with The Dollhouse breaking up.  But will Jade be the next Knockout Champion?

Disappointed though Bromans were the team chosen in the Tag Title Open Challenge.  I was hoping it would be LAX, and I think TNA was hoping we’d think that.

It was a decent show, but nothing that was highlight worthy, looking forward to next week’s World Title match.  What were your thoughts?  Send them to me here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 3/8/16…Kurt Angle Farewell Tour Concludes

Tonight, a very special episode of Impact Wrestling celebrates a man who has meant a lot to TNA.  Kurt Angle, for the final time faces Bobby Lashley.

Impact Wrestling is now.

We are in Birmingham, England.  Dixie Carter begins the show, with the wrestlers surrounding the ring.  Dixie brings out Kurt.

She tells him for the last 10 years, he has been a landmark for this company.  She remembers the time he came to TNA, the crowd was through the roof, and she was on the phone with him to let him hear that reaction.

Drew Galloway tells him he came to TNA to face the best in the ring, and he always wanted to be like Kurt Angle.  It was a dream to face him, and he thanks Kurt for everything he has done.

Kurt speaks now, and says he came to TNA to find himself.  Now he is a better man, a better father, a better husband, a better wrestler.  He thanks Dixie for giving him the opportunity to do this, and he thanks the fans for being there for him.  Kurt considers him the luckiest man on the planet.

Here comes Lashley.

Bobby tells Kurt this is a special night, and he thanks Kurt for everything he has done.  It’s a great night, but also a sad night, because of what he is going to do to Kurt.  The truth is Kurt just isn’t ready for Lashley.

Tonight, Kurt Vs Lashley.  We will also see Gail Kim Vs Jade for the Knockouts Title.  Beer Money will face The Wolves, for the Tag Team Titles, but now.  King of the Mountain Title match is set.

King of the Mountain match with Eric Young Vs Bram Vs Mark Andrews Vs Jimmy Havoc Vs Will Osprea Vs Gabo.

Eric Young retained his title.

Next week on a live Impact, it will be Young Vs a returning Jeff Hardy.

Kurt Angle’s TNA history is showing, the night he beat Samoa Joe at Genesis 2006.

Dixie is backstage, and runs into Maria.

Mike Bennett is going to call out Dixie, and ask a question.  Maria just wants Dixie to hear him out.  She wants to lead the Knockouts, but Dixie saw what she did to Gail, but she believes more in action, than words.

Still to come, Angle Vs Lashley.

The awesome Decay song is playing.  I am not a fan of Marilyn Manson, but I do like this song.

“The Miracle” Mike Bennett is in the ring.

Do we want to know what “The Miracle” is tonight?  The fans need him now more than ever.  Because let’s face it, arguably the best wrestler on the planet today, the one who cheap-shotted him, Kurt Angle is leaving, so Mike wants to be named the Number One Contender to the World Title.  So that he can go on to win the TNA World Title, and he can save professional wrestling, once and for all.

Drew Galloway comes to the ring.

Time after time, these two think things will be handed to them, but this is a wrestling company, not a charity.  If Bennett wants to be the World Champion, he suggests he does more fighting, and less bitching.  Speaking of which.

This irate “The Miracle”.

Drew knows all about charities.  Drew begged Kurt for another match, because he couldn’t get the job done.  Charity?  He wins a game show, picked up a briefcase, and TNA is handing you a Title shot.  So do yourself a favor, go get Dixie, and let the adults talk.

Drew fights Bennett, and Mike leaves the ring, telling him he ruined his moment.

Footage from Slammiversary 2007, when Kurt Angle became the TNA World Champion for the first time in King of the Mountain match.

The Wolves are with Kurt, thanking him for everything he had done.

Kurt is giving Davey his permission to use the Ankle Lock.

Still to come, The Wolves Vs Beer Money for Tag Titles.  But next, Knockouts Title match, Gail Kim Vs Jade.

Gail wins with a reverse roll up, a great match between these two.  Clearly 2 of the best women wrestlers in the business today.

Next, Tag Team Title match, Beer Money Vs The Wolves.

Live next week, Matt Hardy Vs EC3.

Hardy is irate over this decision.  He asked what he had to do to receive this title match.  But then he realized, EC3 can’t beat Matt Hardy.  Next week, he will beat EC3 for the third time.

Beer Money Vs The Wolves in a dream tag match, for the Tag Titles.

Beer Money become a 5-time Tag team Champions, nailing a DWI, pinning The Wolves.

Footage from Kurt Angle’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony from 2013.

Lashley approaches Galloway.  He heard what Drew said earlier, and after Lashley beats Kurt, he will be the new man in town, and Drew isn’t ready.

The fans sound off on Kurt.

Kurt is with Mike Bennett.

Mike is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and everything Lashley does to Kurt, he will deserve.  But he could have faced Mike.  Hall of Famer Vs a future Hall of Famer.  But if he ever gets the itch to come back, Mike will be waiting in TNA.

Kurt tells him he better wish Kurt never comes back, because it will be real, damn real.

Oh lord, here is Grado.

Grado has video proof, and he wants Kenny Smurf to show it, but Eli Drake shows up.

Grado has become more desperate to be begging for his job back.  But it looks like Eli Drake is going to nail him in the briefcase to shut him up once and for all.

Jessie Godderz tells Grado the two of them can beat him down, and show him the door, once and for all.

Here comes Sheara to help his new friend.

Grado finally gets the upper hand, and he runs away with Eli’s briefcase.

Angle Vs Lashley is next.

Impact Wrestling is live next week.  Jeff Hardy Vs Eric Young, and Matt Hardy Vs EC3 for the World Title.

A video tribute on Kurt Angle.

Thank you Kurt.

History in the making, Lashley Vs Angle.  Kurt’s final TNA match is now.

Lashley, with 3 spears pinned Kurt Angle.

After the match, Lashley hugs Kurt, riases his arm, then clotheslines Kurt.  Another spear, and throws the ref out of the ring.

Drew Galloway screams at Lashley, and Bobby spears Galloway.  Eddie Edwards comes out, greeted by a spear.  Lashley gives Kurt another spear, and here comes EC3.

The two go face-to-face, and Lashley smiles, walks away.

Next Tuesday on Impact, we will be live.  Jeff Hardy faces Eric Young.  Also “Iconic” Matt Hardy faces “The Ass Kicker” EC3.  All of this, and much more.

The show ends here.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

4 very good matches, and we have a completely new side of Lashley.  Somehow, someway, this man has to wear the gold again.

I want to thank Kurt Angle for an incredible TNA career, I have to think one day, he will show up in WWE to take his spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, but this man earned the respect of any and all wrestling fans.  It’s funny, he was in WWE for 7 years, but has been in TNA, almost 10 years longer.  In many ways, if it wasn’t for Kurt, TNA might have had to fold many years ago.  If this is indeed his final TV match, thank you Kurt for everything.

What were your thoughts on the show?  Send them to me here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 2/9/16…Angle Vs Galloway II

We are in Manchester, England tonight.  Tonight, Kurt Angle continues his Kurt Angle Farewell Tour and will face Drew Galloway.

Josh Matthews and The Pope welcome us to the show, and we kick the show off with Matt Hardy, and his family.

He didn’t sell out, he was already a millionaire.  And he’s not here to defend his World Heavyweight Title.  He is here for business.  The Matt Hardy Brand will show Impact Wrestling Brand how to conduct good business, because The Matt Hardy Brand means more than Impact Wrestling Brand.

Boo him all you want, the same idiots who boo “The Iconic” Matt Hardy are the same idiots that cheer EC3.

Tyrus tell us that we cheer EC3, but Tyrus is the one who made him the undefeated, unbroken, unpinnable, and cool again.  Matt Hardy doesn’t need his help, because he is family.

Reby tell us we are all just jealous, and Hardy tells us he is the one who beat EC3.  He was undefeated, he was unbreakable, unbendable, and he did everything by the book.  In the last 3 weeks, Matt took care of EC3, Jeff Hardy, and Kurt Angle.  And Dixie Carter still hasn’t even spoken to him since he won the World Title.

He isn’t going anywhere, until Dixie Carter comes out.  Lesson 101 in doing great business, you get rid of the “cancer”.  And she needs to make the World Champion happy.  And what is the one thing she needs to do?  Fire EC3.

Tonight, it’s the return of EC3, we will also see Angle Vs Galloway II.

But now, Lashley vs Bram, and it’s next.

Lashley wins the match with a spear.  Eric Young tried to interfere, but Lashley gives him a spear, for good measure.

Backstage, Matt Hardy is a bit concerned over EC3 showing up, but Tyrus has his back, and brings in Manchester’s security.

EC3 will return tonight, and we will also see Angle Vs Galloway II.

Kurt Angle comes to the ring.

The fans are making it difficult to see him say farewell, but he is.  He has a saying, it’s real, it’s damn real.

He is so proud of what has accomplished, and he thanks the crowd for supporting him.

Everyone knows Kurt is going to wrestle Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode, but tonight, his opponent will be….

Maria Kanellis Bennett says the crowd understands what he is saying, they feel what he is saying.  But she feels what Kurt is saying is fake, and manufactured.  What the fans need is “The Miracle” Mike Bennett.

Mike was listening to Kurt in the back, and he has had a hell of a career.  He remembers when he was growing up in New England, the better, and more advanced England.  He was a kid, and watched Kurt, he gave his brother an Angle Slam, and put him in an Angle Lock.  He studied him, and saw Kurt beat legend after legend, and he studied Kurt’s every match, and he said to his mom, one day he is going to grow up, and beat that guy.

Kurt warned him, to get away from his face.

Kurt is missing the point, what Kurt accomplished, no ordinary man can do that, but Mike is extraordinary.

Let’s take a look at Kurt’s opponents, Bobby Lashley, that is one, bad mamma jamma, Kurt.  There is Bobby Roode, one of the greatest TNA wrestlers of all-time.  But then there is Mike Bennett.  Think of it like this, Kurt Angle Vs Mike Bennett, for the first time, and the last time.  When Mike beats Kurt, the fans will be asking….

Do you believe in miracles?

Yes, we do.

Kurt tells Maria she is very beautiful, but has a poor choice of men.

Maria tells Kurt he is “The Miracle”.

Oh right, and he swings a punch at Mike.

Kurt makes this clear, he’s not wrestling Mike, because he doesn’t respect him.

And his opponent tonight, he does respect this man, Drew Galloway.

Drew shows up, later tonight.

Beer Money is backstage, Roode got Storm a present.  It’s not pyro, it’s not a stripper, it’s not even a car.

It’s the return of The Bruiser Cruiser.

Trevor Lee Vs Tigre Uno, for the X-Division Title is now.

Trevor wins with the Fisherman’s Buster.  A good match, but should have been longer.

Tonight, the return of EC3, also Angle Vs Galloway II.

But now, Beer Money.

Beer Money want to cash in their tag team title shot, but here comes The Decay.

They still have the physical Tag Team Titles.

Rosemary tells us everyone is obsessed with these pretty, little toys.  But everything that is pretty turns to rot, and that is what happens in their world.

While they have the titles in their possession, they aren’t the Tag Team Champions, and neither are Beer Money.  So while they have a ref, they suggest they fight.

The fight starts now.

The Decay are DQ’d after Beer Money hit a DWI.  Abyss interferes, and the ref DQ’d them.

Rosemary has the titles, and Crazzy Steve gave Storm a low blow.  And with the appearance of Janice, The Wolves come out with chairs.  But they won’t hit Rosemary, so they leave with the Tag Titles.

Davey tells The Decay they have something that belongs to them, and something that belongs to The Wolves Nation.  And that is the Tag Team Titles.

Eddie Edwards tells them they want their titles back, but in return they will give them a Tag Title shot.

Abyss says they do it next week, for all of the gold in Monster’s Ball.

Let the hunt begin.

Angle Vs Galloway, tonight.

Reby approaches Dixie Carter.

Reby asks Dixie if she just keeps an open mind, when Matt talks to her.

The idiot Grado shows up.

TNA fired him, and they screwed him.  But, Grado will tell us he has proof he was screwed.

Eli Drake interrupts this.

He is a man who was fired, yet he is begging for us to give him some mercy.  He will give him some mercy by having security escort him out of the building.

Grado runs around the ring, and escapes from security.

Drew Galloway says the first match is about respect, but tonight, it’s about opportunity.  He has been called “The Future” for so long, it’s time to think of the present.  Tonight, Drew Galloway beats Kurt Angle.

Madison Rayne Vs Jade, now.

Jade wins with a Cradle Piledriver.

Now The Dollhouse attack Rayne.

But here comes Gail Kim to help Madison Rayne.

Gail takes out all three women.

EC3 returns tonight, and next, it will be Angle Vs Galloway.

Billy Corgan was being interviewed, but Grado tells Billy he was screwed.

Our main event, Kurt Angle Vs Drew Galloway is now.

Galloway wins the match with a Crossface, and Kurt congratulates him at the end of the match.

The return of EC3, what is his fate?  We find out, next.

Next week, Tag Team Titles are on the line, The Wolves Vs The Decay, in a Monster’s Ball Match.

The Family are in the ring, and Matt Hardy calls for Dixie Carter to head to the ring, now.

Matt is a global name in this industry, he is the face of the company.  He knows what works, and he is our World Heavyweight Champion.

And the last world champion, he can’t even say his 3 letters.

The fans chant EC3.

He treated Dixie like trash, when he won the title.  And when Matt beat him fairly at Bound for Glory, he issued an injunction, and put you in a bad spot.  He wants to have a good working relationship with Matt.  He wants Dixie to look at the camera, and fire EC3, now.

Don’t be a flaking bimbo, fire EC3 NOW!!

Enter Rockstar Spud.

He hasn’t said this in a long time, but I got this Madame.

What’s going on Matt, this isn’t the Matt Hardy he looked up to.

Spud will always look up to Matt, boy.

If Spud isn’t here to be a character witness to say EC3 is garbage, he might as well leave now.

Spud has agreed, EC3 has done some terrible things, most of them he has done to him.

Fire EC3 now.

No, because while EC3 does and says the things he says, he think that Matt Hardy is scared of EC3, he thinks Matt Hardy is acting like a little bitch.

Tyrus attacks him from behind, and Matt corners Dixie, ordering she fires EC3.

Trouble….Trouble….Trouble…

The spotlight is on, EC3 is on the ramp, but he is here to kick ass.  He takes care of the security, he takes care of Tyrus, Matt runs away, and EC3 heads out of the ring, and the show closes with EC3 posing on the top ramp.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

The run for EC3 continues, but this time, he is a babyface.  I love too he didn’t say anything, came in, kicked ass, and then left.  And Angle Vs Galloway highlighted this show too.

It’s a shame though we will never see Angle Vs Bennett.  That could have been a good match, Bennett stood out too, looking forward to seeing what he can do more in the ring.

A good show tonight, what were your thoughts on the show?  Send them to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 2/2/16…Hardcore War

Earlier today, EC3 was backstage/  He asked the camera guy if he really wants to know what is going on his head.  Be here at 4:00, don’t be late.

The World Heavyweight Champion with his trio of terror.  Reby and Tyrus come out to the ring.

Impact Wrestling is now.

Sometimes in this business, you work with people you hate, and do things to people you hate.  

The crowd wants Jeff, and Matt tells us Jeff isn’t here, because he spoke out about how Matt was tarnishing the title, and he was met with a piledriver through a table, courtesy of Eric Young.

Reby tells us Jeff didn’t have to happen like this.  Some people say Matt was the “shadow” of Jeff for all of these years, and now that he is on top, Jeff was jealous of her husband.

Here comes Eric Young and Bram.

Jeff Hardy’s career is done because of Eric Young.  Bobby Roode lost his World Title because of him, and now Matt, the World Title goes through him.

Matt tells Eric he knows he is smarter than this.

Enter Kurt Angle.

Their business deal fell apart, and he has degraded that title.

Kurt talked to a TNA official, and he has his next opponent in the Kurt Angle Farewell Tour.  It will be Matt Hardy Vs Kurt Angle, for the World Title.

Matt was actually enjoying the Kurt Angle Farewell Tour, but this may end prematurely.

Kurt may be outnumbered right now, but he still believes he can kick any one of their asses.

Matt tells Kurt it’s 5 vs 1.

Beer Money.

The battle line has been drawn for Young and Bram, and tonight, they will fight.

Storm says they are all about kicking ass, and drinking beer.

Beer Money fight Bram and Young.  Kurt takes care of Hardy.  Here comes The Decay, but The Wolves fight them off.

Bobby says that while Kurt faces Hardy tonight, we will also have an 8-man tag in a Hardcore War match.

Last week, we see the Feast or Fired reveals.

Drew Galloway is talking about this opportunity last week.  He now has a World Title shot.  He controls his own destiny.

Tyrus confronts him, telling him to take his briefcase, set it down, and walk away.  Because that is a target.

Tyrus was the number one contender, he had his opportunity, but instead of taking that opportunity, he decided to sit in the back, and be everyone’s bitch.

Tyrus warns Drew he asked for this.

Lashley Vs Aiden O’ Shea.

Racquel came out to distract Lashley a bit, but Bobby hit s a spear, and win the match.

Racquel told him he’d see him again.  And the message remains the same.  She can give him pain, and she can give him pleasure.

Maria is on her way to the ring, next.

We will hear from EC3, later tonight.

Maria is not here to talk about a “miracle” but rather to talk about women’s wrestling.  Women’s wrestling is strong, but it needs a leader.  And her name is Maria Kanellis Bennett, and she is the first lady of professional wrestling.  The Knockout Division is old.  So out with the old, and in with the new.

Here comes Gail Kim.

Gail has known Maria for many years, she had alot of respect for her.  Until what she just said.

Maria tells Gail she is part of the problem, she is the leader of the Knockouts, but she is here to solve the problem.  With Maria’s help, Gail can be better.

Gail counters with she is a wrestler, and if Maria has an issue with her, step into the ring.

Tensions are rising here, and it ends with Gail shoving Maria out of the ring.

Meanwhile in the back, The Wolves have Beer Money’s back because they have common enemies, but down the road, the two teams will cross paths.

Then they get into a bit of an argument.

We will hear from EC3 tonight.  Also, for the World Title, Hardy Vs Angle.

8-man tag Hardcore War.  Beer Money and The Wolves Vs The Decay, Eric Young, and Bram.

Davey Richards and Crazzy Steve kick it off.

Bram is next.

Storm is in next.

Eric Young is in now.

Eddie Edwards shows up during the commercial.

Abyss is in now.

Roode is now.

The Decay, Young, and Bram steal the victory.  Beer Money took Young and Bram to the back.  Crazzy Steve threw purple mist into Davey’s eyes, Abyss nails Davey with a Tag Team Title, and Steve pins him.

Marilyn Manson did The Decay’s entrance theme.

Drew Galloway is showing support and respect to Kurt.  He is reminding Kurt that he can cash in his title shot, and they can tear the house down, one more time.

Tonight, Hardy Vs Angle, for the World Title.

But next, Galloway Vs Tyrus.

Tyrus loses by DQ when Maria shows up, telling Drew his miracle begins now.

The lights go out, come back on and Mike Bennett nails him with the briefcase.

Mike asks Drew if he believes in miracles, because he thought this would answer all of his dreams.  He believed this briefcase would answer to his miracle, and he would win World Title.  But this is not what TNA needs, Bennett is the miracle TNA needs.

Hardy Vs Angle tonight.

Kurt is proud of his accomplishments in TNA.  Lashley interrupts him, wishes his good luck in his world title match.  How fitting would it be if he were to beat Kurt for World Title at the same place as he beat him last year, UK.

X-Division Title match now.  Tigre Uno Vs Gregory Shane Helms?

He isn’t dressed for the occasion, Tigre agreed to put the title on the line, but he never said it would be against him.  But his opponent, the end of the night, Tigre will be calling him champ.

Trevor Lee.

Trevor Lee is the new X-Division champion, winning with a Fisherman’s Buster.

Hardy Vs Angle is next, but we hear from EC3, now.

For 2 weeks, EC3 has been reflecting.  2 and a half years, he has been unpinned, and couldn’t be stopped.  He realizes he had the advantages, and at times, he had been a little shit.

Unbeatable, unbreakable, unbendable, those were just words.  He just wants to win the most.  Winning is everything, and he wishes he can bottle it up.  Congratulations Matt Hardy, he beat him.  It took his wife, ladders, chairs, table, his bodyguard, his kid, but he still got up.

What matters most is his World Title.  But now what?  Does he take a few months off, and go on a boat.  He decides to take the fight, jump on a plane and become Matt Hardy’s shadow.  He is bringing hell, Matt Hardy, courtesy of EC3.

Hardy Vs Angle now, for the world title.

Hardy wins the match when Reby grabbed Kurt’s ankle, and Matt hits a Twist of Fate off the top rope.

The show ends with The Hardys celebrating the big win together.

Next week, Impact Wrestling travels to the UK.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

A decent show here that featured a fun main event match.  I also liked EC3’s interview, and am looking forward to hearing the crowd when he is in front of an audience.

I love The Decay name too, it fits them perfectly, as does the entrance theme.  That woman’s name is Rosemary, so there you go.

Is Maria going after the Knockout Title?

Hardcore War was fun, and I can’t wait to see The Wolves Vs Beer Money.

What were your thoughts on the show?  Send them to me here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 1/26/16…Feast or Fired

Earlier today, Jeff Hardy is entering the building.  He has been trying to get a hold of the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, his brother Matt Hardy all week.  Tonight, he is going to paint his face, and talk to the new champ.

Last week, Matt Hardy turned his back on the world, as Tyrus helped Hardy become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

Impact Wrestling is now.

Jeff Hardy comes to the ring.

He has a whole week to let this sink in.  When he heard about what happened, he was shocked.  When he saw what happened, he was sick.  He needs some answers from Matt Hardy.  So would the World Champion please grace us his presence, and give us his answers.

New music for “Iconic” Matt Hardy.

Slowly, but surely, Matt Hardy comes out with Reby, Tyrus, and Tyrus carries Max.

Jeff didn’t call the two others, he just wanted to discuss matters with his family.

Reby Sky tells him she is his wife.  Who was there for him when the entire world turned their backs on him.  She was there for him when Jeff decided to play “Redneck” Evil Kineivel.

He doesn’t need Jeff anymore, they don’t need anybody anymore.

Jeff calls Reby his bitch-in-law.  Matt tells him not to talk to his wife like that.  Jeff calls Matt a bitch too, and we have bitch 3 in Tyrus.  So why Matt why?

Matt is no longer in Jeff’s shadow, his wife told him to stop giving, and just take.

Why can’t Jeff just be happy for him, he is now the “other” Hardy.

Jeff can’t be happy for Matt with the way he did it.  So Matt tells Jeff they need to go their separate ways.  So Jeff can stay with his underlings called “creatures”.  While Matt can just go on to become the greatest TNA World Champion of all time.

The crowd chants for EC3, and Jeff agrees with this.  Because the last time EC3 won the title, he did it fair and square, and showed he is the best wrestler.

So how about since Jeff is clear, they face each other for the TNA World Title, tonight.

You want this?  Matt loves Jeff, but he wipes his hands clear over what happens tonight.

So Hardy Vs Hardy tonight.

Josh Matthews and The Pope welcome us to the show.  Feast or Fired tonight, title matches are on the line, along with one pink slip.

Video of Feast or Fired is shown now.

I hope Grado is fired.

That match is taking place now.

The X-Division Title match is not in a briefcase.  Instead, it’s King of the Mountain Title opportunity.

Grado, Eli Drake, Drew Galloway, and James Storm all grab the briefcases.  We will find out what everyone chose, later tonight.

Kurt checks on Jeff.  The way Matt won the title last week just wasn’t right.  Kurt has Jeff’s back.

Tonight, Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy.  Also all 4 briefcases are revealed.  One man will be fired, tonight.

All four men are standing by with their briefcases.

DJ Z Vs Tigre Uno Vs Mark Andrews for the X-Division Title.

Tigre wins the match, with a 450 splash, pinning Andrews.

Now comes Gregory “Sugar” Helms.

He said this company for years, was defined by the X-Division.  This company was backed by the X-Division.

Helms knows Tigre just had a match, and he doesn’t want any excuses.  So he will give him one week.  So next week, is Tigre Uno prepared to defend the X-Division Title, one more time?

Yes.

Tigre Uno, his run as X-Division Champion is over.

Awesome Kong tells The Dollhouse she isn’t mad at them, these walls are strong.  She will get the Knockout Title, but tonight is about The Beautiful People.  She needs to face Velvet Sky all by herself.  They can stay in the back, and see the teacher take the student to school.

Kong Vs Velvet, next.

Backstage, Eli Drake is a bit nervous.  Jessie Godderz is assuring him everything is okay.

Jessie suggests he check the briefcase before they reveal the results.

Tonight, brother Vs brother.  Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy.

Kurt Angle approaches Matt, and he tells him Matt is tarnishing his family name.  Matt tells him Jeff is his brother, always will be.  But he is building his brand.

Kurt claims to be the first TNA World Champion, and he is tarnishing that title.  Matt warns Kurt, he respects him, but if he gets in his business, his bones will be broken.

Kong Vs Velvet is now.

Kong wins clean with the Implant Buster.

Kong tries to go after Velvet, but Madison comes out to help her bestie.  But here comes The Dollhouse to counter.

Kong hits a splash on Velvet, with Madison watching on.

The Wolves are backstage, saying they are the greatest Tag Team Champions of all-time, but right now, their tag titles are missing.

Crazzy Steve clearly wanted to send a message, but they asked for a match, and that match is next.

Let the hunt begin.

JB is with all four men, set for Feast or Fired.

JB is going through the rules, and here comes “The Miracle” Mike Bennett.

One of these four guys need a miracle.  But when you are “The Miracle”, you don’t need to put yourself in this situation.  Mike is just going to sit back, and watch.

Drew Galloway is offended by this, saying Mike hasn’t proven anything, and it shows he isn’t the brain behind this.

Mike says next time he bashes his wife, Drew will need a lot of luck.

Eli Drake opens his briefcase first, he gets a King of the Mountain Title shot.

More reveals is coming up, but first, The Wolves Vs Crazzy Steve and his partner.

We someone completely dressed in clown makeup, introducing Steve, and his partner….Abyss.

The Wolves win by DQ when that crazy woman came out with Tag Team Titles, and sprayed purple mist into Davey’s eyes.  Abyss hits a Black Hole Slam on Eddie.  They celebrate, holding up the Tag Team Titles.

We get more briefcase reveals, next.

And now we are down to three.

“Cowboy” James Storm now must reveal his briefcase.  

Storm reveals he gets Tag Team Title shots.

It’s now down to Grado and Drew Galloway.

Drew Galloway gets a World Title shot, and Grado is fired.

Hardy Vs Hardy is now.  EC3 will be here next week.

The match ends in a no contest when Eric Young comes out, angry that Jeff Hardy is the number one contender.  He is the King of the Mountain Champion, that is the real number one contender.

Bram comes out, and he lays out Jeff, with Matt watching on, doing nothing.

Beer Money counters EY and Bram.  But here comes Crazzy Steve and Abyss.

Kurt tries to confront Matt, but Tyrus lays him out.  And when the Hardy group leaves, EY and Bram give Jeff a Piledriver through the table, ending the show.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

Not a strong show tonight, except the big ending.  I do like Grado was fired, because in my opinion, he didn’t offer much.

This certainly keeps Eric Young strong, and a threat to any title.  With TNA heading to the UK this week, they had to take Jeff off of TV.  I am interested in seeing what EC3 has to say next week.  He was getting chants today, so he clearly is over as a face.  

Where do we go from here?

Send me your thoughts on the show here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 11/18/15…Win Or Go Home

It’s been a while since I have watched Impact Wrestling.  I have followed it, so I know what is going on.  But tonight seems to be an important night to watch, since the premise is if you lose, you go home.  The World Series Title showdown continues.

Impact Wrestling is now.

Last week, Matt Hardy, Gail Kim, and EC3 advanced to the Quarter-Finals.  Who moves on tonight?

Awesome Kong Vs Brooke tonight, Eric Young Vs “Cowboy” James Storm, and Bobby Roode Vs Abyss.

Also a face-to-face between Matt Hardy and EC3.

Josh Matthews and The Pope welcome us to the show.  Tonight, the TNA Originals are focused.

But next, from Group Knockouts, Brooke Vs Kong.

Kong wins the match with a Chokeslam, which means Kong advances, and Brooke goes home.

Group TNA Originals have one match to go.  Tonight, Young Vs Storm, and Roode Vs Abyss.

But next, an exclusive face-to-face with EC3 and Matt Hardy.

Kong advanced moments ago in Group Knockouts, and has moved on to Quarter-Finals of World Title Series.

Josh and Pope ask how far Gail Kim or Awesome Kong can go now that they are facing their male counterparts?

Next week, we will find out the pairings.

Hardy and EC3 are face-to-face.

Hardy is ready to get his title back.  Matt advanced in the Tag Team Specialist.  Hardy swept through his round.

EC3 is disgusted that he’s scaring screen time, with Hardy.  But he proved he is what has said he is, a winner.

Matt wants EC3 next, because they have unfinished business, after Bound for Glory.

He will take the World Heavyweight Title from EC3, and he has to be the one to take his undefeated streak.

EC3 is hoping and praying that he has a chance to face Hardy, and really more than anything he is hoping he gets him in the finals.

Josh calls Matt the favorite to win the tournament, but EC3 is not impressed.  He is undefeated, he is the next World Heavyweight Champion.

Eric Young has some thoughts.

The best thing Storm can do is not show up.  If he comes to the ring, he guarantees Storm will get hurt.  Cross him, and we will see what happens.  Storm is a shadow of his former self.  EY is a world-class man, a world-class champion, and he will prove it.

Tonight, Young Vs Storm.

Moments ago, EC3 stormed out of the interview.  Later tonight, we will hear from both men, individually.

Tigre Uno Vs Manik in the World Title Series, if Uno wins, there is a playoff.  If Manik wins, he and DJ Z advance.

Tigre wins with the Corkscrew, and now there is 3 men tied, between DJ Z, Manik, and Tigre.

Tonight, Storm Vs Young and Roode Vs Abyss.

A recap of how we got here.

Next, it’s Storm Vs Young.

Moments ago, Tigre Uno defeated Manik, and there is a 3 way tie with Group X-Division.

Next week, Triple Threat, Sudden Death.

Winners of 2 falls, they advance.

Next, Storm Vs Young, but we hear from Bobby Roode.

Roode will do whatever it takes to be a 3-time World Champion.

Storm Vs Young is now.

Young wins the match with a kick to the groin, and a Piledriver for good measure.

Eric Young advances to the Quarter-Finals of the World Title Series.

This was James Storm’s last TNA match.  Thank you “Cowboy” for some great memories.

Tonight, Roode Vs Abyss.

Next week, Lashley Vs Aries.  Loser goes home.

Next, an interview with Matt Hardy.

Moments ago, Young moved on, pinning Storm with a Piledriver.

Another interview with Matt Hardy.

Matt was the one who won the World Title at Bound for Glory.  So this is personal.

Matt is confident he can win that title again.

Our next match is Shera Vs O’ Shea.

Shera wins the match with a Sky High, and has advanced in the World Title Series.

Eric Young is a winner, and proves he wins, and everyone loses.  He will keep taking.

Eli Drake is set to compete against Crimson.

Eli wins the match, okay moving on.

We hear from EC3.

He feels disrespected, and isn’t okay.  But he will be after he defeats Hardy, and eliminates him from the tournament.

He is not obsessed with Matt Hardy, but is obsessed with beating Hardy.

Eli Drake advanced to the round of 16, joining Shera, Kong, and Young.

Next week, Triple Threat Sudden Change.  Also next week, Godderz Vs Micah.  Also Richards Vs Robbie E.  And Aries Vs Lashley.

Our main event, Abyss Vs Roode is now.

Roode wins with a Spinebuster, advancing to the World Title Series, and the show ends here.

Next week, World Title Series continues.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

I hate how Matt Hardy lost the title, after Bound for Glory, but I loved the videos they gave us, profiling the contestants in this large tournament.

Thank you to “Cowboy” James Storm for giving us a memorable run in TNA.  He gave us such memorable tag teams as America’s Most Wanted, and Beer Money.  He also did some great things, winning the TNA World Title, defeating Kurt Angle.  He had memorable feuds, including Bobby Roode.  Such an amazing career, and now I look forward to what he does in the next phase of his career.

I hated how they treated him in commentary, he had to make a choice for himself and his family.

I want to see how this plays out, but I hate seeing Shera become a dancing fool.  You never, ever make money with a dancing fool.

What were your thoughts of the show?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Impact Wrestling 8/12/15…When Worlds Collide…TNA Vs GFW

Earlier today, Jeff Jarrett and his GWF family entered the Impact Zone.  Tonight, Double-J is in charge.

We will see Tigre Uno Vs Sonjay Dutt.  We will also see Brian Myers and Trevor Lee face The Wolves.

Awesome Kong Vs Lei-D Tapa, and 5 men compete for King of the Mountain Title.

Jeff and Karen Jarrett come out to the ring.

Jeff wants to thank for the phone call he received, and he is now the newest member of TNA Hall of Fame.  And now his TNA career is finally over.  He has founded Global Force Wrestling.  This is about competing at the highest ability.  We have rivalries in sports, and tonight, we create our new rivalry.

Tonight, this is the best of the best.  The best of Global will compete against the best of TNA.

Tigre Uno will face off Sonjay Dutt.  We will also see Lei’D Tapa Vs Awesome Kong.  We will also see a dream tag team of Brian Myers and Trevor Lee Vs The Wolves.  And in our main event, King of the Mountain….

Here comes Eric Young.

Eric doesn’t care about the fans, he doesn’t care about Jarrett.  He is King of the World.  Jeff is looking at God, and he decides the fate of the World Title not once, but twice.  He decided Kurt Angle should leave, and never come back.  He took a war hero’s leg, just because he felt like it.  Jarrett will play booker, and Eric will take that title.  He will take his pride, he will take his honor.

Eric doesn’t work for Jeff, which means he can kick his ass anytime he wants.  He said he wouldn’t do this for himself, he would do it for the fans.  This is a title who would be defended multiple organizations.  So he will put King of the Mountain Title on the line tonight, in the first ever King of the Mountain on Impact.

Eric Young will be the first participant.  EY attacks Jarrett, but here comes Team GFW.  However Team TNA comes out, and we have a fight as we go to commercial break.

Moments ago, we see the big fight between TNA Vs GFW.

Team GFW are rallying the troops.  Jarrett tells them this is about competing, this isn’t an invasion.  Just win your matches.

The Pope and Josh Matthews are in the studios.

An update on Bully Ray, he has no timetable to return.

Lei’D Tapa Vs Awesome Kong is now.

Royal Red is with Tapa, and this is the queen Lei’D Tapa.  So anyone come on out to her ring, and bow down.

Kong heads to the ring.

This was a double count out, and the fight continues to the back.  Kong slams Tapa to the floor.

King of the Mountain Match.  So far it’s Eric Young, Drew Galloway, and P.J. Black.

We get a backstage moment from the wrestler formerly known as Justin Gabriel.

He is here to represent Global Wrestling, but he is also here to show everyone what P.J. Black is about.

P.J. has a phone call to take.

Drew Galloway is ready for his match, later tonight.

Bobby Roode is in the ring.

To say you have chaos all around would be an understatement.  You have Global Wrestling Federation here, TNA, here, Jeff Jarrett, and alot of unknowns.  Some of those unknowns concern him.  He is a bit pissed off, because you have a King of the Mountain match tonight, but “The It Factor” of Professional Wrestling isn’t involved.  If there is one guy who deserves that spot, it is Roode.  And Jeff, if you have something against Roode, be a man and say it to his face.

Secondly, he has something to say to Rockstar Spud, the man who defeated Austin Aries last week.

Roode tells Spud he should be proud that he beat Austin Aries.  He proved that anyone can beat anyone on any given night, including Spudey.

Spud never thought he would be standing in the ring talking to Bobby Roode, and Roode act like such a prick.  He understands how Roode feels, Spud shouldn’t be in the ring, but he told his teacher and parents one day he would be a pro wrestler, and he did that.  He said one day he would be a champion, and he is a 2-time X-Division Champion.  He said he would be World Champion, and he took Kurt Angle to the limit.  He defeated his friend last week, Austin Aries.  He deserves everything he has done in this ring.  Bullies used to pick on him as a little boy, but now, if that happened, he’d come right back to them and demand his lunch money back.

Roode agrees with Spud, he has earned everything he has done, and Roode should not be upset at Spud, but he is.  Spud is looking at “The It Factor” Bobby Roode.  If he was in the ring with Roode, in those same circumstances, he would do everything he could to end Spud’s career, and he’d beat him.

Spud said on most nights, Roode would be right, but not tonight.

Spud gets the first hit, and now the two men fight it out.  But Bobby rams Spud shoulder into the steel steps, and slaps The Crossface, as we go to a break.

Backstage, Roode and Jarrett go face to face.  Does Jarrett know who he is?  He books for one night, and he leaves Roode to the side.  This is a wake up call to TNA management.

It’s now Lashley Vs Jesse Godderz.

This is a King of the Mountain Qualifying match.

Lashley wins with a spear, pinning Jesse, moving on to King of the Mountain match later tonight.

Video from Full Metal Mayhem between Matt Hardy and EC3.

The Champ is out next.

We see the back, Drew Galloway is knocked out.  Who did this?

Moments ago, we see Drew Galloway being taken out.

The Jarretts are beside themselves with Dixie Carter.  Jarrett will figure this out. Dixie will go to the hospital with Drew.

Ladies and gentlemen…EC3…

Trouble!!  Trouble!!  Trouble!!

The Champ Is Here!!

Do you see what stands before you?  THE World Champion.

He was born and bred to carry this company to the future.  This title represents a culmination of his life’s worth.  This title means he is better than you, then you, than you, than you, than you, and anyone who is in the locker room.

He defended this title like it was a car crash.  EC3 won, and Matt Hardy, you lost.

The crowd chants he sucks, and Carter said he defends the title, in God Mode.  That means he is the unbreakable, undefeated, unbeatable champion, here, now, and forever.

Matt Hardy has something to say about that.

Matt heard every word he had to say, and he truly does deserve to say everything he just said.  EC3 beat Hardy in a match he helped create, he was the better man last week.  And he truly respects Ethan.  But through these compliments, there are caveats.  But #Matt4Champ is still trending, and won’t stop until Matt wins the title.

Matt will not give up, he will not quit, and he will not die.

Matt will not die, and Ethan has respect for Hardy.  When Matt nailed him at the table with the leg drop, Ethan hurt, and still is.  He will grant Hardy another title shot, but he won’t decide, the fans will.  You all want a title shot?

Damn right, well the answer is noooooooooooooooooooooowaaaaaaahhhhh

Titus goes after Hardy, the champ is here, laying out Hardy with the championship.

Next, The Wolves Vs Brian Myers and Trevor Lee.

Taryn wants The Dollhouse to take Gail Kim out, for good.  Fight Gail in a cage, and end her forever.  That way, Gail will never hurt her again.

Six Sides of Steel Cage match.

“The Adonis” Chris Mordeski is added to King of the Mountain match.

Tag Team action is up now.

The Wolves win with the combination of a Powerbomb and Backcracker.  Davey pins Lee.

King of the Mountain match is our main event.  Who is taking over for Drew Galloway?

Lashley is in the back, and we get a stupid question from the backstage goof.  Lashley wants to win, but he also wants to do this for TNA.

Tigre Uno Vs Sonjay Dutt is up now.

Uno wins with a roll up.

Jarrett is proud of EC3’s accomplishments, and Carter isn’t buying it.  He has his eyes on it.  He has his 5th man for the main event tonight, and Carter gets the winner next week, for No Surrender, and Carter’s title is on the line.

Next week, it’s Bram Vs Mr. Anderson, in an Open Mike Challenge.  Also, inside a Six Sides of Steel, Gail Kim Vs The Dollhouse.  And Jeff Jarrett announced that we will see Carter defend the title against the winner of tonight’s match.

The 5th man in tonight’s King of the Mountain match?  Robbie E.

Our main event is now.

P.J. Black wins the King of the Mountain Title, and next week at Turning Point, it will be EC3 Vs P.J. Black, for the title. We end the show with both men showing their titles.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

Some strong points to the show, and some pointless points too. We have Robbie E as the 5th man, yet there was no backstage segment? Why not make that choice important there? Instead, Robbie just seemed like a random choice.

I did like the mic work by Roode and Spud, and Hardy and EC3, and we had a great tag team match.

So if you’re scoring at home, and you know who you are, we had TNA take 2 wins, GFW took 1, and a countout.

Looking forward to Turning Point next week. What were your thoughts? Send them here.

Impact Wrestling 7/22/15…Episode 29

Tonight, we find out who is the newest inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame, and we kick the show off with Magnus Vs Bram.

Bram wins the match with a clipping of the ankles, and he rolls up the tights.

Enter James Storm, who enters the ring with a cow bell, and knocks out Magnus.

Tonight, we will find out who Storm’s partner is, and he and Mickie James might want to stick around and find out who she is.

Still to come tonight, Bobby Roode Vs Matt Hardy for the Number One Contendership in a Tables match.

But next, we hear from Eli Drake.

TNA’s Bound for Glory is set for Sunday, October 4th, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Eli Drake comes to the ring.

His name is Eli Drake, and he has waited a long time to say let me talk to you.  Many people have asked how he could do that, stop crying dummies.

Eli Drake is a creator of circumstance.  And he created something that is a circumstance of opportunity for himself.

Drew kept talking about standing up, and standing up.  But Eli couldn’t speak.  Even Micah was nodding his head, like a puppet and Eli just used The Rising to get his foot in the door.  Eli is just like us, because we have all called in sick at work, even though we are perfectly fine.  Friends always stab each other in the back, and the ladies all pretend to be with their man, just because they pay the bills.

And here comes Drew Galloway.

Drew brought Eli into The Rising, because he knew he had killer instinct.  And little did he know how right he was, because Eli killed The Rising because he wanted to be a shining star.

Drew is not an old guy, he has been in this business for 15 years, but he is only 30.  He has had his surgeries, he has been hurt, but nothing had hurt him more than what Eli did.

The last week he has had all emotions.  He has drank too much, he has been depressed, he has wanted to beat Eli’s arse, so maybe he needs to let the fans decide what happens….

They want him to kick his arse.  Eli wanted to be a shining star, Drew will make him famous.

The fight rolls on, but Drew has the Future Shock locked in, but Eli slides out of the ring.

Tonight, Tigre talks Trump.

Next, Confrontation in the Cage, Taryn Terrell wants her title back.

Last week, Brooke defeated Taryn Terrell to be new Knockout Champion.

Taryn wants her title back, next.

Footage from “Pit Wars”, but Taryn comes right out, this show is not going to continue until she has what is hers.

She blames all of us for her losing the title.  She orders The Dolls to get into the cage with her.  She will lock herself in the cage, until she gets what is hers.  Gail, she destroyed her professionally, and Brooke, she took what is hers.  She needs her title NOWWWWWWWWWWW.

Enter Brooke, she is not impressed with this.  Taryn isn’t important, the fans are.  She can blame whoever she wants, but Taryn did this herself.  She and her Dollho’s.

Taryn can’t stand it when fans are chanting her name.

No man is worthy to touch Taryn, and no woman can touch her in this ring.

The only person Taryn should be upset is herself.  She outwrestled her, she outsmart her, and she took this title.  So, come and get it.

The lights go out, and come back on, we see Gail Kim in the cage with The Dollhouse.

Gail takes care of The Dollhouse, and Brooke takes care of Taryn.

Tonight, Tables Match for the Number One Contender on the line, Matt Hardy Vs Bobby Roode.  We will also hear from Tigre Uno, about Donald Trump.  And next, King of the Mountain match, from Slammiversary, in its entirety.

The Pope and Josh Matthews join us in the studios.  King of the Mountain match will air on Impact, from Slammiversary.

This is when Jeff Jarrett wins King of the Mountain.

Jeff Jarrett is the newest inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame, which was announced earlier in the show.  I missed the announcement, due to cable box going out for first 6 minutes.

Tonight, Chain Match between Eric Young Vs Rockstar Spud, and also tonight, Matt Hardy Vs Bobby Roode.

But now, Tigre Uno has some words for Donald Trump.

This was actually nicely done.  A piece on Tigre, and his life in Mexico, and to put it bluntly, he doesn’t share Mr. Trump’s point of view, but then again, Donald has no chance of winning Republican ticket anyway.

The Revolution are on their way out, next.

Recently on Impact, Mickie James challenged Storm to find any woman, and the four would have a match.

Here comes The Revolution.

We need people with guidance, discipline, people need leadership.  Storm founded this revolution because no matter what is going on, what you represent, there is always room for one more.

Storm gave Mickie a chance to join The Revolution, and she turned him down.  He gave you gifts you have dreamt of, because he offered you a chance to have things you don’t have in life.

But Mickie now is a lost cause, and Mickie will get her one more match.  Because it will be Mickie and Magnus Vs Storm, and the newest member of The Revolution, welcome Serena.

Serena, from WWE, who was a part of CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society.

Serena speaks, and says it’s a pleasure to stand in a TNA ring with Storm.  She and Mickie were best friends for 10 years.  They were like sisters.  Mickie called her a protegé.

That meant so much to Serena, and Mickie James became Mickie James, and then she disbanded away from her.  She was lost, but now she has found James Storm.

And Mickie, Magnus stands behind you, but a real man stands beside his woman.  And he will show them what they can do.  Hey Donovan, this is the moment where you say 10 years from now this is the moment where Mommy and Daddy made a big mistake.

Chain match is up now, Eric Young Vs Rockstar Spud.

Eric Young picks up the win, giving him the Piledriver.

Roode Vs Hardy, in a Tables Match is up now.

Hardy puts Roode into a table, and now is the Number One Contender to the World Title, and we celebrate his win when we end the show.

Next week, Jeff Jarrett takes his place into TNA Hall of Fame.  We will also have one more match, when it’s Mickie and Magnus Vs Storm and Serena.  And Jeff Hardy makes his TNA return.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

I just wasn’t feeling this week’s episode.  I hated they re-aired the Slammiversary match.  I understand why, but they couldn’t add a segment from studio to cover up anything that has to do with Hernandez and BDC?  Speaking of that, it sucks that the contracts got involved, despite Lucha Underground not having a clear future, but then again, does TNA anymore?

And how do you not have a show without your World Champion?  EC3 needs to be on TV next week.

What were your thoughts of the show?  Are you looking forward to Jeff Jarrett getting his well-deserved Hall of Fame induction?  Sound off.

Impact Wrestling 6/24/15…A Very Historic IMPACT

Tonight, on a live episode of Impact, we will see EC3 choose Kurt Angle’s opponent.  Also, Full Metal Mayhem, match 4 of Best of 5 Series with The Wolves Vs The Dirty Heels.  Also Low-Ki Vs Uno Tigre Vs Grado to crown new X-Division Champion.

So much more, and a historic announcement that could shake the foundation of TNA as we know.

Impact Wrestling in 10 minutes.

We kick the show off with EC3 heading to the ring, but JB interrupts him, wants to know who Kurt’s opponent is for tonight’s match. EC3 tells us last week, he took care of Bobby Lashley, tonight, Kurt faces someone with a “legacy”.

We kick the show off with Josh Matthews and The Pope. TNA World Champion makes his way to the ring.

Kurt tells us that in 7 days, EC3’s campaign to be World Champion will be coming to an end. He wants to know who his opponent is tonight, and here comes EC3.

Ladies and gentlemen, EC3….

Trouble….Trouble….Trouble….

Carter tells us in 1 week, Kurt’s title reign will come to an end. Nobody has beaten him, Kurt wants to know who his opponent is, and EC3 refuses to tell him, talking about the men he has beaten. Sting, Bully Ray, Jeff Hardy.

Kurt tells EC3 that his ego will defeat him at the end, because it takes a true champion to beat him. In 7 days, he will make EC3 tap.

Carter asks Kurt if he wants to make him tap out, tonight.

Well, that can wait for 7 days. Because tonight, he has to face….

Matt Hardy.

Also tonight, match 4 of Best of 5 Series between The Dirty Heels Vs The Wolves. We will also see Velvet Sky Vs Angelina Love, if Velvet wins, she will get her job back in TNA. But next, Elimination match between Low-Ki Vs Tigre Uno Vs Grado, winner becomes new X-Division Champion.

Grado is quickly eliminated with Warrior’s Way, which is a good thing.

Low-Ki Vs Tigre Uno is now.

Tigre Uno is the new X-Division Champion with a 360 splash.

A good decision here, putting the title on him.

Christy Hemme wants to ask Uno how he feels, it’s a great night for him.

JB is with Bram.

Tonight, Bram calls out any past TNA superstar. He’s take care of Joseph Park, he took out Crimson. He hates everyone, so who will it be? He doesn’t care.

A big hand shows up. It’s time.

Velvet Sky Vs Angelina Love tonight.

The Dollhouse are discussing their Slammiversary plans. It will be The Dollhouse Vs Kong and Brooke.

Slammiversary rundown. Magnus Vs James Storm in a non-sanctioned match. The Dollhouse Vs Kong and Brooke in a 3-on-2 Handicap match. Also Mr. Anderson and Lashley Vs EC3 and Tyrus.

Angelina Love Vs Velvet Sky is up now.

Velvet wins with a Stunner and In Yo Face, so she is hired back in TNA.

The Dirty Heels are up next, they have a plan in place, they think The Wolves made a mistake choosing Full Metal Mayhem.

MVP enters the building, rumors don’t seem to be true. The BDC are stronger than ever.

Full Metal Mayhem is up now, Match 4 of The Wolves Vs The Dirty Heels.

The Heels win match 4 with a low blow by Roode, pinning Eddie.

Matt Hardy is being interviewed by JB.

Hardy tells JB he was surprised too when he got the phone call from EC3, but he has an opportunity. He was sitting at home, trying to figure out what he was going to do next, and now he has an opportunity to prove he is as a good as he was, and even better.

EC3 tells Hardy he owes him one, and next week, Carter will win the World Heavyweight Championship, and when that happens, he has to kiss the brass ring if he wants any title shots.

JB and Pope explain what has been going on with Bram, but now we see Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett enter a TNA Impact ring.

We get a nice welcome back chant, with Jeff telling us how strange things can turn just like that. He informs us that a week ago, right before he was boarding a plane to do a tour of Global Force Wrestling, he was contacted by TNA officials, with a proposal.

Now, he sort of laughed it off, boarded the plane, but as he was in the air, he started to think about things. So he gave them a call. They offered him to come back to TNA for one night, and in a match. But not just any match, it was a King of the Mountain match.

13 years ago, his father and Jeff founded this company. He has seen many things in this ring.

The biggest news he heard was when Jim Cornette made the announcement that Kurt Angle was jumping ship from WWE to TNA. He still has goosebumps just thinking about that.

Or the night Samoa Joe hit Kurt with the headbutt heard around the world. How about a kid from northern Georgia became the NWA TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and become a household name, like AJ Styles.

This still means something to him, and his wife grabs the mic.

She brings up the way they left this company. Sting firing Jeff in a backstage skit on TV, she always tells things the way she sees it, and now it’s about moving forward, and build Global Force Wrestling.

But then again, she sees the look on his face, she knows he must end things the right way, so she will always support him on this matter.

Jarrett makes things clear, this Sunday he will be King of the Mountain, he will end things the right way, and build on the future. As his good friend Toby Keith said a few days ago, you’re not as good as you once were, but on this one day, you might be better than you ever were.

I am ready for Slammiversary this Sunday.

IT’S VADER TIME!!!!

Bram Vs Vader is up now.

Bram loses by DQ, using a lead pipe.

When Bram takes care of Vader, here comes “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan, taking out Bram, and standing tall.

This is the night of returns here.

Eric Young Vs Chris Melendez is next.

Eric Young picks up the win with a Piledriver. Melendez tried hard, but Eric prevailed.

Next, Matt Hardy Vs Kurt Angle.

We come back and see a big fight going on with BDC and The Rising.

We see another return, Hernandez shows up and he is now on Team BDC.

MVP tells Drew Galloway that Hernandez is the newest member of the BDC.

Pope and Josh try to make use of oll of this.

Next week, match 5 of Best of 5 Series, who leaves as Tag Champion.

Also next week, Taryn Terrell Vs Awesome Kong Vs Brooke for the Knockouts Title.

And 540 days in the making, EC3 Vs Kurt Angle for the World Title. But first, Kurt has to get through Matt Hardy.

Kurt defeats Hardy with an Angle Lock. Quickly after the match, EC3 tries to attack Kurt, but Matt Hardy helps Kurt, and goes after Tyrus and EC3.

The show ends with an Angle Lock and EC3 taps out.

Is this a preview to come next week?

Kevin’s Thoughts:

One of the best shows in a while. Top to bottom, a fun show here, that featured the night of returns.

Let’s start with the obvious, Jeff Jarrett. I am now curious to see what happens this Sunday night on PPV. Will he win King of the Mountain? And what does this mean for Global Force Wrestling? Stay tuned.

Vader seems like a one-shot thing, but always good to see him. The story here is the return of Matt Morgan. Matt will face Bram this Sunday. And Hernandez seems to be here to stay as well. He was working for Lucha Underground, but he is back.

Good to see Matt Vs Kurt tonight, Full Metal Mayhem was the best match of the 4 we have seen so far, and it’s great to see Tigre Uno win the X-Division Title.

And Velvet Sky is back.

Just a very good show, what were your thoughts? Send them to me here.
