Moose, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards (w/ Alicia Edwards) b. CW Anderson, Brock Anderson, Bear Bronson

Yes, that CW Anderson from ECW a million years ago.

This is a bonus match (an open challenge from The System) and the debuts of the Andersons and Bronson in TNA. Myers was Bronson’s trainer, adding an extra layer of story to this impromptu match. Myers hit Bronson with a jumping DDT. CW distracted Myers, and Myers walked into a choke bomb for a near fall.

Main Show.

Mike Santana v. Charlie Dempsey

This one started off fast. Dempsey jumped right into a death valley driver from Santana. He dropped to the floor, and Santana followed him out with a dive. Santana got a superstar reaction.

Back in the ring, Santana went for the three amigos, but Dempsey cut him off and attacked Santana’s oft-injured arm. Dempsey was like a dog with a bone the way he went after Santana’s arm. Dempsey tried for a head scissors, but Santana escaped and dropkicked Dempsey.

Santana mounted a brief comeback, but Dempsey went back to work on the arm. Dempsey pounded Santana with forearms in the corner. After Dempsey and Santana exchanged “Boo/Yay” strikes, Santana floored Dempsey with a clothesline and both men were down.

Santana caught Dempsey with an enziguri, then hit the rolling cutter for a near fall. Santana went for this discus lariat but Dempsey was able to block it. Dempsey countered another rolling cutter attempt with a German suplex, then went to an armbar. Dempsey delivered butterfly superpelx from the top rope. Dempsey tried for a standard suplex, but Santana countered and hit the three amigos. Santana followed up with a frog splash off the top, then hit the discus lariat to get the pinfall.

Match Result: Santana pinned Dempsey (9:00)

The crowd loves Santana, who should still be TNA World Champion.

Gia Miller interviewed Frankie Kazarian and he’s going to defeat JDC because he’s a loser, just like everyone in the crowd.

The IInspiration v. Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford (w/ Robert Stone) for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship

Ash by Elegance joined the commentators for this match.

The IInspriation sent their opponents to the floor, and then came off the apron with some weak-looking body blocks. Blanchard got the heat on McKay. Crawford and Blanchard went after McKay’s leg. Blanchard really went after McKay’s knee, twisting it around the ring ropes and pounding it with punches. Blanchard tied up McKay’s legs and but her hand, then locked in a half-crab.

McKay ducked a charge from Crawford, then dumped Blanchard and got the tag to Cassie Lee. Cassie hit Blanchard with a lung blower for a near fall. McKay made a blind tag, but her knee was still hurting. Stone threw one of the title belts into the ring, but Crawford got caught when a kick when she tried to use it. Heather and M by Elegance tried to run in, but the IInspiration chased them off, then took out Crawford with the Idolizer to get the win.

Match Result: The IInspiration retained when Lee pinned Crawfor (8:45).

Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander) v. Matt Cardona in a Street Fight

Warner started out with a chair and Cardona started out with a kendo stick, and Warner won that exchange. Cardona sent Warner into the chair headfirst (that Warner had set up in the corner), then hit him with a charging boot for a near fall.

Marner dropped to the floor, so Cardona followed him out and choked him with his t-shirt. Cardona beat on Warner with a trash can. Cardona positioned the trash can to suplex Warner onto it, but De Lander grabbed the trash can and smacked Cardona with it, allowing Mance to get the edge.

Warner grabbed another chair and smacked Cardona across the back with it. Warner suplexed Cardona on the entrance ramp. Warner pulled a door out from under the ring and some more trash cans. Cardona beat Warner with one of the chairs, and the crowd chanted “one more time!” to encourage Cardona.

Warner used the ref as a human shield, and this distracted the ref long enough to have De Lander spray something in Cardona’s face. Warner hit a tornado DDT through the table for near fall. Warner hit Cardona with a trash can lid. Warner and Cardona exchanged “Boo/Yay” strikes.

Cardona gave Warner an Unprettier into a chair for a near fall. The crowd chanted for tables while Cardona worked over Warner with a kendo stick. De Lander grabbed at Cardona’s leg, and Warner hit Cardona with a trash can, then gave him an uranage for a near fall.

Now Cardona pulled out his own door from underneath the ring. While Cardona was setting up the door, Warner was able to recover enough to hit Cardona with an implant DDT for a near fall.

DeLander gave Warner a screw driver. Warner tried to stab Cardona with the screwdriver, but Cardona ducked and the screwdriver went through the door. Cardona then hit Warner with Radio Silence through the door and got the pinfall.

Match Result: Cardona pinned Warner (11:27)

JDC talked to himself in the mirror. If Cena can win the WWE title on his way out, why can’t JDC win the TNA World Title on the way out? If JDC does win the title tonight, he’ll defend against Eddie Edwards at Genesis. JDC seems conflicted about his retirement, and keeps kinda throwing his wife under the bus because of it.

Steve Maclin v. Stacks (w/ Lexis King) for the TNA International Title

Maclin charged Starks as soon as he got to the ring and the fight was on. Maclin tossed Starks around the ring, then tossed him to the floor. Starks was bumping around the ring for Maclin like a rubber ball. King tried to distract Maclin, and it lead to Stacks catching Maclin with a shot to the throat.

Maclin came back with a hard knee to the gut and a back elbow. Maclin hung Stacks up in the ropes and sent King to the floor when he jumped up on the apron. Maclin charged in for a shoulderblock, but Stacks got out of the way and Maclin hit the steel post and tumbled to the floor.

Stacks hit Maclin with a cannonball in the corner for a near fall. Stacks hit a sliding forearm for a near fall. Maclin suplexed Stacks into the ropes. King got in a cheap shot while Stacks distracted the ref. Stacks tried to get Maclin in an abdominal stretch, and eventually did but it looked awkward. King then gave Starks additional leverage when the ref wasn’t looking.

Maclin escaped the asbominatl stretch with a hiptoss, then he tossed Stacks to the floor. King threw Stacks back in the ring and he walked right into a backbreaker. Maclin mounted his comeback by hitting a Thez press. A small cut opened on Maclin. Maclin took both Stacks and King out with a plancha to the floor, then stole King’s cowboy hat.

Back in the ring, Maclin hit a Angle Slam for a near fall. Stacks hit a running knee for a near fall. Stacks dropped Maclin into a gut buster for a near fall. Maclin avoided another running knee, then hit his own running knee for a near fall. Maclin hit top rope headbutt for another near fall.

Maclin hung Stacks up in the ropes and charged in with a shoulder block. Stacks dropped the the floor. Maclin went after King, and Starks went for a surprise roll up. Maclin wound up for a big clothesline, but Stacks ducked and Maclin almost clotheslined the ref. Maclin caught himself, but the ref covered up to avoid getting hit. This allowed Stacks to grab King’s walking stick and bean Maclin with it, and of course the NXT guy is taking the TNA guy’s title.

Match Result: Stacks defeated Steve Maclin to win the TNA International Title (11:36)

After the match, Carlos Silva, who was watching the match and is the president of the company, hands Stacks his title belt. The president of the company doesn’t thing to restart the match that he was just watching when it was won by obvious cheating?

Gia Miller interviewed the Hardys about their title match later against NXT’s Tyson & Tyriek, but the Hardys will not be intimated.

Xia Brookside v. Léi Yîng Lee for the TNA Knockouts World Championship

Brookside and Lee hug before the match gets under way. The match was very scientific in the early going. They both know each other very well and the match stays quiet even. They were able to block each other’s hip toss attempt, and then dodge each other’s dropkick.

Brookside caught Lee with an elbow in the corner, but Lee escaped a rana with a handspring and then hit Brookside with a dropkick. Brookside came off the middle ropes with a crossbody for a near fall. Brookside charged in the corner with a knee, but Lee got out of the way. Lee hit a snap suplex for a near fall.

Brookside went for a kick, but Lee caught it and yanked her down into a half-crab. Brookside tried to crawl to the ropes, but Lee dragged her back into the middle of the ring and turned the hold into an STF. Lee then transitioned into a crossfire, but Brookside escaped that and went for a cradle. Brookside took Lee down with a tijeras, but Brookside missed a charge in the ropes. Brookside caught Lee with a kick for a near fall.

Brookside hit Lee with a meteora in the corner, then a Russian leg sweep for near fall. Brookside tied up Lee with the Octopus. Lee added some elbows to the ribs to try and wear Lee down. Lee escaped, but Brookside turned that into a pin attempt. Lee escaped the pin attempt and charged in with a knee for two.

Lee superplexed Brookside, but both women were down for the count. Lee got to her knees at six, but didn’t go for a cover. Lee went for a spinning slam, but Brookside escaped and hit Lee with a lung blower for two. Brookside caught Lee with a tornado DDT for two.

Both women started exchanging forearms. They dodged each other kicks again, and Brookside caught Lee with a roll up for two. Lee floored Brookside with a kick, then finished her off with a spinning face buster to get the pinfall.

Match Result: Léi Yîng Lee retained the Knockouts World Title by pinfall over Xia Brookside (12:39)

After the match, Carlos Silva presented Lee with her Knockouts World Championship, and both Brookside and Lee hugged. Gia Miller stopped the combatants as they were leaving. Lee said she was happy with her victory, and put over Brookside. They embraced, and Dani Luna charged in and attacked Lee and Brookside. Luna sent Le into the ring stairs and started pounding on Brookside, until Indi Hartwell ran in to attack Luna. At this point, a gaggle of security geeks ran down to break up the fighting, and Luna slammed one of the geeks! They eventually got everyone separated.

Lexis King and his NXT gang celebrated Stacks International Title Victory.

Order 4 (Agent Zero, Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch & Jon Skylar) vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Myron Reed & Dezmond Xavier)

The Rascals schooled Skylar and Hotch for a bit. Ali got the tag and didn’t do much better, winding up in the Rascalz corner and subject the longest Bronco Buster I’ve ever seen.

Ali was fed up and tagged in Agent Zero, who immediately boots Wentz down, then took out the rest of the Rascalz with headbutts and clotheslines. The Rascalz try a four-on-one attack and that doesn’t go any better for them. Zero slammed three of the Rascalz at once, then took Wentz down with a flatliner. Then kipped up!

After Zero finished killing everyone, Ali tagged back in and went to work on Wentz with a chinlock. Skylar and Hotch hit Wentz with a double team neckbreaker for a near fall. Wentz missed an enziguri and got suplexed for a near fall. Tasha Steelz choked Wentz against the ropes while Ali distracted the ref.

Agent Zero tagged back in and press-slammed Wentz, then took out the rest of the Rascalz. Zero missed a charged in the corner, and Wentz dodged Skylar and Hotch. Wentz dodged another charge from Ali, and Ali hit the turnbuckles hard and awkwardly.

Reed go the tag. Ali dove the floor the and Xavier followed him out with a dive. Reed got a near fall on Skylar. Tasha Steelz distracted Reed with her feminine wiles. Reed decided to shoot his shot, and got clocked by Agent Zero for his troubles.

Agent Zero took out three of the Rascalz and two of his own teammates with a plancha over the ropes. Ali then climb up for his own dive, but Myron Reed jumped over the top ropes and took Ali down with a cutter onto an a pile of guys on the floor.

While everyone was brawling around the ring, Ali decided he’d had enough and left. Agent Zero then when 1-on-4 against the Rascalz. The Rascalz sent Zero into the ring steps. Skylar hit Reed with a slingshot spear. The Great Hands set up Reed for their finisher.Elijah’s music played, distracting Order 4. Ali was watching from the back of the arena, and he was attacked by Elijah! Elijah hogtied Ali and drag him out of the arena. This distracted the rest of Order 4, and Reed slid out of the ring and hit Hotch with a destroyer on the floor.

They tossed Skylar back into the ring, and hit him with a meteor, a swanton bomb, spiral tap, and a slingshot 450 splash, and Reed got the pinfall.

Match Result: The Rascalz beat Order 4 when Reed pinned Skylar (14:27).

This was certainly wild. It also felt like they were dragging Ali off into the sunset for godd, but maybe I’m reading too much into that.

Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe v. The Hardys for the TNA World Tag Team Championship

Before the match can begin, the lights go out. “The Gods Walk Among Mortals” is shown on the big video boards. This distraction allowed Dupont and Igwe to jump the Hardys and get the advantage. Dupont and Igwe try to get a “Delete!” from the crowd by yanking off Matt’s arm, but the crowd won’t have it. Hardy managed to trick Dupont into trying to hank off Igwe’s arm in a funny spot.

The Hardys double-team Igwe with a standing moonsault/fistdrop combination. Hardy went for the Twist of Fate on Dupont, but he easily powered out. But Jeff wound up caught up in the ropes, and Igwe got the advantage. Igwe and Dupont worked over Jeff Hardy with chin locks.

Jeff escaped Dupont’s chinlock with a jawbreaker and got the tag on Matt. Matt deleted Igwe’s head into the turnbuckles, then did the same to Dupont. Matt Hardy gave Dupont a Side Effect and Dupont jumped about a mile in the air for Matt. Matt hit Igwe with a Side Effect as well. Igwe escaped the Twist of Fate, but got caught on the top by Matt, who suplexed Igwe down. But after Matt landed, Dupont ran in with a splash to take control.

Dupont and Igwe hit a double-team back suplex for a near fall. The crowd was solidly behind the Hardys, and Matt took Dupont down with a Twist of Fate. Matt sent Igwe to the floor. Jeff got the tag and hit the Swanton on Dupont to get the pinfall.

Match Result: The Hardys retained the TNA World Tag Team Championship when Jeff pinned Dupont (8:43)

This was solid.

After the match, the lights go out again. “Have you heard the good news? The Righteous are coming.”

And in fact, the Righteous, Vincent and Dutch, are here in TNA. The crowd greeted them with a “Who Are You?” Chant. The Righteous stood in the entrance way and had a staredown with the Hardys.

Eric Young sat in the stairwell and talked about how often he’s watched TNA rise and fall (and rise and fall, and rise and fall, and rise and fall). Young goes into his disease and cleansing routine and I’m just so tired and bored with this guy. Either get to the point or go away.

AJ Francis (w/ Rich Swann) v. Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship

Hannifan reminded us “it’s not about weight limits… it’s about no limits.” Which, well, duh. Francis is like twice the size of Slater.

Slater was very evasive early on, hitting a superman forearm off the ring steps and a slingshot body block on the floor. He escaped a choke slam with a backflip and hit an enziguri. But when he tried a backflip, Francis caught him and clubbed him down.

Francis choked Slater against the ropes. Francis stretched Slater against the ropes, than hit him with a forearm. Francis crushed Slater in the corner with an avalanche, then whipped him head over heels into the turnbuckle. Francis followed up with a charging knee into the corner.

On the floor, Francis gave Slater a face-first suplex onto the apron.

Back in the ring, Slater mounted a brief comeback, but ate a boot for a near fall. Francis worked over Slater with a chinlock. Slater battled out of the chinlock and tried for a suplex, which was a ridiculous idea and Francis killed him with an elbow. Slater rolled out of the way of a senton.

Slater and Francis exchanged “Boo/Yay” forearms, with Slater’s forearms barely registering with Francis, while Francis sent Slater flying across the ring. Eventually Slater stunned Francis with a series of forearms and a kick. Rocked back, Slater was able to use Francis’s momentum to drop Francis with a blue thunder bomb. Slater went for a 450, but Francis got out of the way. Both Slater and Francis avoided hit the ref, and Francis hit a low blow behind the ref’s back. Francis then hit a spear for a near fall.

Swann distracted the ref, and Francis went for a steel chair. BDE ran in to take the chair away from Francis. So Francis broke him in half with a choke slam. Slater tried to hit Francis with a dive to the floor, but Francis caught him and sent him headfirst into the ringpost.

Back in the ring, Francis posed on the middle rope with a Go Pro. Slater dropkicked Francis over the ropes, then ran across the diagonal of the ring and dove over the ring post to hit Francis with a dive, while holding the Go Pro.

Slater hit the Crossover Splash for a near fall. Francis came back with a massive choke slam. Francis tried a moonsault off the middle rope, but Slater popped up and caught him mid-move with a superkick! That only got two.

Swann tried to slide a chair in the ring, but this was just a distraction for Francis to hit Slater with the title belt. But that still wasn’t enough to pin Slater. Francis called Swann into the ring to hit Slater with the belt. Swann refused to do it, and Francis in Swann’s face about it. The referee tried to break that up, and so Francis got in HER face about that, too. So after bullying Swann and the referee, Swann grabs the belt, and the ref turns her back and closes her eyes, so Swann can ABSOLUTELY MURDER FRANCIS WITH A BELT SHOT! Slater then hit Francis with a Swanton 450 and the pinfall was academic.

Match Result: Leon Slater pinned AJ Francis to retain the X-Division Championship (14:50)

This was exactly what it needed to be. Slater sold like a million bucks for Francis, who got his comeuppance from everyone at the end.

After the match, Slater, BDE, Carlos Silva and the referee all celebrated Slater’s victory.

This Thursday on Impact, Dani Luna v. Indi Hartwell in a Dog Collar Match

Ryan Nemeth came out dressed like a turkey to annoy the crowd. He called Mara Sadé a tramp and said her superkick was “weak and sloppy.” So of course Sadé snuck up behind Ryan while he was insulting her, and super kicked him again.

JDC v. Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World Championship

I can’t believe JDC has been wrestling for 27 years. Kazarian entered the arena in a green Cadillac convertible.

Kazarian held the ropes open so JDC could just leave and retire. JDC grabbed Kazarian and leveled him with a short-arm clothesline, then tossed Kazarian to the floor. JDC and Kazarian brawled up the stage. Kazarian went after the eyes. Kazarian hiptossed JDC on the stage. The ref demanded that Kazarian get back in the ring, or he would count him out. Kazarian was totally fine with that. So that totally backfired on the referee.

The fight eventually did get back to the ring. Kazarian delivered a suplex. The crowd did start a brief chant for JDC, but it didn’t go anywhere. Kazarian went for a suplex, but JDC countered with a small package for two. Kazarian floored JDC with a clothesline.

Kazarian dropped JDC with a back suplex for a near fall. Kazarian got tied up in the ropes, and JDC hit a springboard legdrop. The crowd got a better JDC chant going, but there was no heat for his rally. JDC caught Kazarian with a side Russian legsweep. JDC hit a powerslam for a near fall.

Kazarian missed a legdrop and hit the apron, then dropped to the floor. JDC then did a somersault plancha over the ropes that mostly hit the floor, and both guys were down. JDC threw Kazarian in the ring. Kazarian caught JDC coming in with the slingshot cutter for a near fall.

Kazarian brought the belt into the ring to use as a weapon. The ref stopped Kazarian, and JDC rolled up Kazarian for two. Kazarian suplexed JDC in the corner. JDC whipped Kazarian into the referee, and then JDC followed that up by inadvertently hitting the ref with a forearm.

JDC hit an air raid crash. He went for the cover but the ref was out. JDC got the visual pinfall, but when a second ref finally got out there it was just a two count. JDC missed a top rope legdrop. Kazarian went for another belt shot, but JDC ducked and went for a roll up. Kazarian rolled through and locked JDC in the chicken wing. After a brief struggle, JDC passed out and Kazarian retained.

Match Result: Frankie Kazarian defeated JDC via ref stoppage (13:28).

After the match, the System came out to console JDC in his loss. Kazarian left, and Lexis King and the NXT midcard ran out and took out the system. After disposing of the System, King poured lighter fluid all over the TNA logo on the ring canvas. Before they could burn the ring down, Mike Santana and Steve Maclin and the Hardys ran in to put a stop to that. Santino Marella and his gaggle of security geeks and referees ran in to break up the fighting. In the middle of the chaos, Stacks knocked out Marella, his soon to be father-in-law.

From the Knockouts title match to the X-Divsion title match, that part of the show was pretty solid. But that main event was not it. I’m not buying Kazarian as champion and nobody was buying JDC as a threat. Hopefully the plan is to get the belt on a babyface at the start of the AMC era.
