Triton, Drone, and Pegasso vs Dragon Rojo, El Sagrado, and Misterioso

Pegasso and Misterioso start out in the match and they do some grappling to start. They ramp it up for a little but tag in Triton and Sagrado. They work very quickly and exchange some acrobatic spots. Triton hits a hurricanrana to the outside then chases him to the outside and hits another one. Drone and Rojo get in there and trade some big spots. Dragon Rojo then hits a power bomb bouncing him off the ropes for the fall. First Fall: Dragon Rojo pins Drone with a power bomb.

Rojo works over Drone to start the second round. He hits a drop kick in the corner to his groin area. Ref must have missed that one. Misterioso hits a flapjack on Triton followed by a drop kick by Sagrado. Rojo hits a drop kick on Pegasso and Sagrado goes for the pin but he kicks out. Drone and Triton make a come back hitting arm drags to the outside on Sagrado and Misterioso and then hit middle rope dives. In the ring, Pegasso hits a head scissors into a school boy for the fall on Rojo. Second Fall: Pegasso pins Dragon Rojo with a school boy for the fall.

Drone and Rojo are in the ring to start but Rojo leaves and so does Drone bringing in Pegasso and Sagrado. Pegasso hits a big arm drag to the outside then hits a pose. Drone and Rojo are in again but Rojo runs away and Drone chases him. In the ring it’s Misterioso and Triton now. Triton hits a 619 on Sagrado then a hurricanrana to the outside on Misterioso. He gets Sagrado to the outside then feigns a dive and hits a pose. Now Drone and Rojo are in the ring trading strikes. Drone hits a head scissors on Rojo then a middle rope dive to the outside. In the ring, Sagrado hits a power bomb on Pegasso and Misterioso hits a reverse jaw breaker on Triton for the win. Third Fall: Misterioso pins Triton with a jaw breaker.

Winners: Dragon Rojo, El Sagrado, and Misterioso

Blue Panther Jr, Rey Cometa, and Black Panther vs Negro Casas, Shocker (Nitro), and El Felino

Okay so something has to be going on here. This is like the 4^th time I’ve seen Shocker booked on a show but he isn’t here. I wonder what it could be. I haven’t checked if he’s working independent matches around Mexico. If he was injured I figured they just wouldn’t book him. There’s posturing with both teams to start the match. Felino and Cometa start the match out officially. They exchange some arm drags to start then they start to grapple. Cometa’s gum falls on the mat and he picks it up and puts it back in his mouth.

They exchange strikes and this leads to everyone coming in the ring. Ref gets some order for once and Nitro and Blue Panther Jr get in there. They work at a much faster pace to start, going into grappling based moves very fast. But soon after Black Panther and Casas are tagged in. Panther hits a top rope drop kick for the pin on Casas. First Fall: Black Panther pins Negro Casas with a top rope drop kick.

Cometa and Felino start out the second round. They trade some spots until the midget comes in and dances with Felino. Which gets a reaction out of the crowd. The arena sounds more packed than the previous Tuesday shows. Cometa and Felino go to the outside and the midget tries a dive but Cometa catches him and then super kicks him. Blue Panther Jr and Nitro get in but it doesn’t last long as Blue Panther takes him out leading to Black Panther and Negro Casas. Now they’re teaming up on Blue Panther after they got Black Panther out of there. When that’s taken care of Felino holds Cometa and the midget hits in with a 619. Nitro flap jacks Cometa and rolls him up for the pin. Second Fall: Nitro pins Rey Cometa with a flapjack then roll up.

Black Panther and Negro Casas start out the final round and they exchange chops in the ring. Blue Panther hits a big vertical suplex which Nitro stops the count. He gets Panther in a stretch which Black Panther breaks up. He hits a basement drop kick on Nitro but Felino breaks up the count. Felino hits a sit out razor’s edge but Cometa breaks that up. Cometa hits a big drop kick but Casas attacks him before the pin attempt.

Cometa and Blue Panther go for a double submission but Felino drops Black Panther on Blue Panther. Cometa then goes back and forth with Felino and hits a dive on him after tricking him to the outside. In the ring, Negro Casas submits Black Panther with a sharpshooter and Nitro pins Blue Panther Jr with a pile driver. Third Fall: Nitro pins Blue Panther Jr with a pile driver.

Winners: Negro Casas, Nitro, and El Felino

Sanson, Cuatrero, and Forastero vs Niebla Roja, Titan, and El Valiente

Titan and Sanson start but Sanson leaves the ring immediately. He gets back in the ring and they do some grappling. He gets Sanson to the outside then chases him but the others attack him. There’s a scuffle and they leave Valiente on the outside too. They bring him in though and hit him with a double press slam which brings Roja in. They hit him with a triple drop kick in the corner then attack Titan when he tries to make the save. They pose but Titan makes a come back knocking Cuatrero to the outside then hits a dive, in the ring Valiente submits Sanson with a leg lock and at the same time Roja submits Forastero with a leg lock. First Fall: Niebla Roja and Valiente submit Sanson and Forastero with leg locks.

Titan wants to start with Cuatrero but he’s still on the outside so Valiente and Sanson go at it. Valiente hits a hurricanrana to the outside from the top rope then poses. Titan and Cuatrero are in next but not for long as Cuatrero leaves the ring again. Forastero and Roja then get into the ring to do battle, and they pose before they even engage. Roja kicks him then gets him to the outside then feigns a dive and hits a pose. Finally Cuatrero and Titan are in the ring exchanging strikes. Cuatrero goes for his mask, but fails then Titan goes for his mask and rips it a bit.

He Pele kicked Cuatrero to the outside then hit a hurricanrana on Sanson to the outside, then Valiente, Titan, and Roja hit dives on them to the outside. They go to do it again but they get intercepted this time. They all hit suplexes on them and go for pins but they kick out. Afterwards Valiente and Roja get Sanson and Forastero in a double leg lock and Titan goes to pin Cuatrero with a hurricanrana but they all get out of it. Finally Niebla Roja rolls up Forastero for the pin. Valiente hits a run up moonsault to the outside on Sanson. In the ring Titan and Cuatrero exchange moves, Cuatrero tries to kick him below the belt but Titan grabs the leg and hits a dragon screw leg whip into a leg lock for the win. Second Fall: Titan submits Cuatrero with a leg lock.

Titan gets the mic and says he beat him two consecutive times in Arena Mexico then challenges him for his championship. Cuatrero accepts the challenge.

Winners: Niebla, Roja, Titan, and El Valiente

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.18.2024

Andrew Balaz

No burying the lead here! The Main Event is The System versus Motor City Machine Guns, and it’s the Go Home episode before Rebellion! So we’re guaranteed a damn good tag match, and we should get either new wrinkles, or ways to keep the storylines cooking going into the Pay-per-View.

With all the rumors and innuendo about the Guns being on their way out, I think we all assume that MCMG is losing, but my inner fanboy is still excited.

Ratings:

Little Guido w/New FBI vs Hammerstone: Hammerstone wins via Torture Rack – SQUASH
LSG vs Joe Hendry: Hendry wins via Standing Ovation – SQUASH
Mustafa Ali & GYV vs Cody Deaner, Jake Something & Rhyno: Ali wins via 450 Splash – ** 3/4
Rosemary w/Havok vs Jody Threat w/Dani Luna: Rosemary wins via Spear – ***
Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) vs The System (Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) w/Alisha Edwards: System wins via Roster Cut + Knee Party – *** 1/4

Results:

So we kick off the match with Josh coming out to commentary again to watch Hammerstone’s match. They really need a new way to try and keep heat without reusing the same tired gimmick of “ring side seat” to a Squash match.

Little Guido w/New FBI vs Hammerstone

Guido tries to shoot the half, but Hammerstone shrugs him off, lifts him like a child and runs him into a corner, few short shots and then just tosses him across the ring. Hammer gets a little distracted talking smack to Josh and eats a foot, but then tosses Guido with the ole Sack of Shit move and keeps working over Guido.

Hammer shoves Clayton, and provokes him to push him back right in front of the referee. She ejects them, Guido tries to take advantage but when he goes for the pinfall Hammer kicks out immediately and presses Guido out of thing through the ropes. Continues to dog walk Guido, puts the head gear on the ECW Original and then Torture Racks him while staring directly at Josh, and of course picks up the submission victory.

LSG vs Joe Hendry

Hendry cuts a little promo, mentioning the Fat Uncle Phil joke…something about shopping at the TOP Dollar Store. Solid mic work.

LSG is a damn good local talent, he’s been seen in ROH and AEW in the past (perhaps others, but that’s what comes to mind immediately for me), but we all know this is an enhancement match. A few nice chain wrestling spots early, but Hendry uses his power to stop the smaller wrestler, Sack of Shit into Standing Ovation and the match is over quickly.

Mustafa Ali & GYV vs Cody Deaner, Jake Something & Rhyno

Well okay, having Deaner ask the crowd if they wanted a 3v2 or their third member…RHYNO…is pretty much a no brainer in Philly. But at least the gimmick isn’t quite as cringe as I expected.

Jake starts with Zack Gibson and throws him around. Jake goes for the tag and Deaner asks the crowd who Jake should tag, and the crowd picks Rhyno. Rhyno Whips Gibson into a corner, Drake actually softens the impact, allowing Gibson to fire back, tag out, but Rhyno levels both GYV members and then even knocks Ali off the apron. Rhyno tries to call to the crowd to tag in Deaner and that goes over like a fart in church. He tags him in anyway, and the crowd is kinda dead and doing whatever it wants after the obvious ECW chants when Rhyno tagged in.

GYV take a couple lumps but they of course start to work over Deaner and capture some momentum. Solid tandem work from GYV, they cut off Deaner from making a tag and goad Jake a little to cause the ref to block off the babyfaces so the heels can take a few shortcuts. Cody eventually makes the tag to Rhyno, hot tag, he tries to set up the Gore but the GYV manage to stop him in his tracks and hit an Enzuigiri to daze the Man Beast, he falls to his corner and Jake tags himself in. Jake literally runs them all over, tags in Cody and Launches him from the Top Rope into Zack Gibson. Ali makes the save and Jake tries to get his hands on Ali, but the GYV keep throwing themselves at him, literally. The triple team finally gets the best of Jake, they hit 3 Dives and then post Jake, so they gather around Cody like hyenas.

They forgot about Rhyno, he’s set up for a Gore, he Gores Drake, Gibson and Ali take out Rhyno, but then Cody starts to fight back. Ali stops Deaner’s offense with an Avalanche Sunset Bomb, then hits his 450 Splash. Jake barely misses being able to break up the pin.

Rosemary w/Havok vs Jody Threat w/Dani Luna

Jody tries to start quickly with Shoulder Tackles, Lariats and Scoop Slams, and it does seem somewhat effective. Rosemary is having trouble finding offense against the intensity, but she keeps kicking out. Shotgun Dropkick finally gives Rosemary an opening, she goes into full mount and rains down strikes. Rosemary shoves Jody into a corner and Bites her in the corner. Jody tries to fight out, they go across and Rosemary catches her with the legs and puts her in the Upside Down. Splash in the corner from Rosemary, Exploder Suplex and Jody is eating a lot of offense.

Rosemary looks like she’s caught after she gets tripped up into the ropes and Jody goes for her Rope Knee into the German, but Rosemary dodges. Rosemary hits her own suplex and pulls out a beautiful Last Chancery! I haven’t seen her do that in a long time. Jody manages to fight to the ropes, Rosemary is a little slow to capitalize and eats a Pump Kick. Rosemary goes flying into the ropes, Jody hits the Double Knees into the German this time for 2, and they trade a few haymakers after that. Jody folds Rosemary with a low Lariat, Zombie rise spot a few times, Jody goes for a pinfall and Rosemary kicks out.

Havok jumps up on the apron, Dani meets her and they decide to step down, but the distraction was enough. Jody turns around and eats a Spear. Rosemary wins!

Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) vs The System (Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) w/Alisha Edwards

Eddie and Shelley start off, and its a very simple slow start. Mostly an early stalemate, the typical Japanese style the TNA seem to love to employ. Starters tag out, but then Shelley with the blind tag, Sabin Baseball Slides out, picks Eddie’s ankle and sends his face bouncing off the apron, while Shelley sneaks up being Myers and they hit a tandem move before we cut to commercial. Off of the commercial it looks like Eddie and Myers regained control. But a nice Jawbreaker from Shelley sends Eddie falling back into the MCMG corner. Dragon Screws to both legs from Sabin and Shelley, and we get the Dragon Screw dissection spot for the Guns.

Myers gets sick of things, tries to get involved, but Simultaneous Figure Fours from the MCMG makes The System look silly. Alisha does the classic “push the rope forward” gimmick to assist Eddie in breaking the hold. She keeps chirping at Shelley until she finally grabs his foot. Shelley doesn’t take kindly, tries to grab her by the hair but she gets away, Shelley eats a strike and falls back to the ropes so Lish can just throttle him with the rope, Sabin walks over and acts like he’s going to PK her and the look of disgust on her face is hilarious, like “how dare he threaten to kick her”. Would I be mad is Masha decides to team with Lish and they win the Knockouts Tag titles? No, because the Knockouts Tags are trash. But I still prefer Lish as valet/manager.

Shelley starts fighting back after another commercial break, Eddie tries to cut him off, but Sabin clocks Eddie and Shelley manages to make the tag and Sabin comes in. Lights up both System members, Kick off Tornado DDT, into a Running Gamengiri. Eddie tries to counter but Shelley assists, tandem strikes, Double Baseball Slide into the classic MCMG spot 5 Hole Dive! Keeping up with the classics Shelley stacks the System members on each other and hit the Missile Dropkick/Flatliner spot. As the Guns are rolling, Sabin accidentally catches Sabin with his foot and The System take control! They hit their pieces of the System Overload spot, but Sabin kicks out. Roster Cut attempt from Myers, but Shelley is back. High Speed Dirt, Machine Gun Sandwich, but Lish grabs Shelley’s foot when they’re setting up Skull and Bones. Shelley gets dropped on the turnbuckle and thrown out, Sabin eats the Roster Cut followed up with Boston Knee Party and System retains!

Its a little weird to have had the two commercial cuts and the fact there’s still Nic Nemeth to follow. So it feels a little flat, I hope this wasn’t their swan song match, because it was nice to see some classic spots, but it was entirely too abbreviated.

Nemeth comes out, goes into the crowd and finds a kid with a kendo stick and borrows a beer from someone, so he does a bit of a Sandman tribute. Moose cuts off his promo basically immediately. He throws out the “can’t beat the system” line again, and Nic rolls with the punches well. Moose uses a few cute analogies about Nic having a failure laden past, but Nemeth bites back and its really damn good. He says he can see it in Moose’s eyes that he thinks he’s getting in the ring with Dolph Ziggler, but no, there is no more old Dolph Ziggler, just the new Nic Nemeth. And Moose’s cool seems to be slightly shaken after those words. Good promo.

Overall Score: 6.5/10

So this was okay, if it didn’t end as strongly as it did, I would’ve rated this much lower. Two squash matches in the beginning, reusing the Josh comes out to the announce table to watch trope is boring, hell even Clayton’s shove to Hammerstone was super lame looking. The Deaner match was luke warm at best, but things picked up around the Rosemary match.

Lets also not overlook the segments with ASH & Xia, Jonathan Gresham’s whole deal and EY having to return to the violence/sickness/world class maniac, whatever you want to call it, were all great building blocks. This definitely wasn’t what I would call a strong Go Home, but it didn’t hurt things for Rebellion. The whole injury of Cardona was addressed, which honestly sounded weird since Jordynne basically said she was expecting them to have a backup plan so she has a backup plan. I don’t really like how that video package came across.

But who knows, all I know is, this wasn’t an awful episode, it just wasn’t really strong either. Here’s to hoping Rebellion Saturday is still strong.
