PLAY BY PLAY

Dakota Kai VS Santana Garrett!

The real-life Wonder Woman returns to Full Sail and is welcomed back by the Captain of Team Kick in this opening match. Both women competed in the inaugural Mae Young Classic but never met in the ring. Who will take the win tonight and make their way towards the NXT Women’s Championship?

The bell rings and the two circle. They shake hands to show respect, then tie up. Dakota gets a headlock, but Santana reverses to an arm wrench. Dakota reverses back, but Santana reverses again with a flip at the ropes. Santana wrenches the wrist but Dakota rolls and flips to reverse it back once more. She gets the reversal to a headlock, but Dakota powers out. Santana comes back with a shoulder and runs Dakota over. Things speed up and both women show their agility. Dakota changes direction to dropkick Santana down. Dakota whips but Santana reverses. Santana arm-drags Dakota a couple times, then wrenches the arm for a modified octopus stretch. Fans rally as Dakota endures. Dakota pops out but Santana gets the Russian leg sweep. Cover, TWO.

Santana keeps moving, and rolls into the Last Chancery! She pulls back on Dakota but Dakota crawls towards ropes. Fans rally, and Dakota gets the ropebreak! Santana lets go at 3, but she aims at Dakota as she gets to a corner. Dakota elbows Santana away, then blocks a kick to swing a kick. Santana ducks, but Dakota denies DaFeet to enziguri Santana! Santana gets to a corner, and runs into kicks from Dakota. Dakota boots, and runs Around the World!

Then the low boot wash! Dakota keeps going, bringing Santana out for the scorpion kick, and rolling backstabber! Cover, Dakota wins!

Winner: Dakota Kai, by pinfall

The kick happy kiwi conquers Santana just like she conquered her fear. Can Dakota keep kicking her way to the top of the NXT Women’s Division?

 

Heavy Machinery finishes a workout session.

Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic are ready, they did the weights, so it’s time for steaks. Otis loves juicy, thick steaks, but something happens to Tucker! Someone attacked him, and the Mighty are seen fleeing the scene! Is this how Thorne & Miller get out of a rematch with the pair of bulldozers tonight?

 

Shayna Baszler is here!

The Queen of Spades took on the crazy Nikki Cross in Chicago, and the sensational Toni Storm in London, both in challenging NXT Women’s Championship matches. However, the results were clearly the same both times: Shayna is still the champion. She returns to Full Sail tonight to say “Everyone kept asking me, ‘Shayna, how do you handle someone crazy like Nikki Cross?’ Well when a dog goes rabid, you put it to sleep.” The fans asked, and Shayna answered. She’s been the most dominant force this division has ever seen. The answer will always be the same. Go ahead, ask. She reads Twitter. Bianca Belair? Kairi Sane? Candice LeRae? That little woman should stay home and take care of her husband.

But in the end, the answer will always be the same. Shayna’s the reason there’s a second Mae Young Classic. They have to scour the globe just to find a challenger for Shayna. But it won’t matter who they are or where they’re from, the answer will always be the same. Shayna will put them to sleep, and we will hear “And still your NXT Women’s Champion.” The Reign of Terror continues, and the confidence is endless. Will anyone anywhere in the world of women’s wrestling step up to Shayna? Will that woman even win?

 

Danny Burch updates us on Oney Lorcan’s eye injury.

The British half of the One Two Combination knows he and the Boston brawler were just seconds from becoming new NXT Tag Team Champions. Lorcan is sidelined with the injury suffered at TakeOver: Chicago II, but their combined 24 years of wrestling experience got them that close. That’s just how it goes, but Lorcan’s had surgery and in recovery, so it should be about three months until we see him again.

However, in come the Undisputed Era. They dismiss Cathy Kelly to talk with “Danny Boy”. Settle down, Burchy, even if Oney Lor-Can’t recovers, they’re at the back of the line. The team that’s at the front is, of course, the Undisputed Era. In fact, they’re using their rematch clause to challenge Mustache Mountain. And to be real, Burch is a loser, so he should just go. Burch reminds the Undisputed Era that they lost those belts anyway. And even before that, Burch pinned O’Reilly. So hush. Where’s this big head coming from? Cole says it’s from giving Lorcan that one NXT North American Championship shot. Burch wants Cole to put his money where his mouth is, they go 1v1 next week. Cole and Burch, in a match? Challenge accepted! The Undisputed Era head out, will they regret taking “Burchy” lightly? Because yes, it’s happening, per William Regal’s orders!

 

The match is set!

Aleister Black managed to defeat his strongest challenger yet in Lars Sullivan, but what about his most dangerous? Tommaso Ciampa vows to end the reign of the Embodiment of the End, but will he and his black heart be what is made to #FadeToBlack?

 

2v1 Handicap: Otis Dozovic VS The Mighty!

“Tucky” went down thanks to a sneak attack from Thorne & Miller, but the Dozer will not let them go unpunished. Can Otis handle both Aussie bad boys in one match? Or will The Mighty find another way to cheat a win?

Fans chant “Steaks and Weights!” while Thorne starts against Otis. Thorne gets a strategy talk from Miller, then throws a towel at Otis. It does nothing, and Otis bulldozes them both. He throws Miller in, then barrels through them both! He clotheslines Thorne out then tosses Miller out on top of him. Fans fire up with Dozer, who shouts “No one messes with my brother!” The Mighty flank Otis, and Thorne gets the cheap shot in. That doesn’t bother Otis much, he just clubs Thorne with one arm. Otis runs at Thorne in the Mighty’s corner, but Miller saves Thorne while also tagging in. Otis hits buckles, and Miller bumps Otis off them. Again, Otis isn’t bothered, he just makes Miller eat buckle. Miller staggers back, faking an eye injury, and that allows Thorne to yank Otis out of the ring.

Thorne tags back in, and he stomps away on Otis. He bumps Otis off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Thorne covers, TWO, so Thorne flounders to a tag. Miller clubs and punches Otis on the mat, then storms off in frustration. Fans boo and jeer while Miller brings Otis up and tags Thorne back in. The Mighty double whip Otis, but their back elbows only stagger Otis. Together, they double back suplex Otis, and cover, TWO. Thorne keeps on Otis with a neck wrench, but fans rally up again. Otis gets up but Thorne knees low. Thorne tags in Miller, and they stomp away on Otis in their corner. Miller chops, then haymakers, then tags Thorne. The Mighty work to double suplex Otis, but Otis is too big. Otis double suplexes them in return!

All three men are down, but Otis stands first. Fans chant “Steaks and Weights,” and Otis rallies on The Mighty. He runs them over on an endless rampage of lariats! Otis lifts and throws Miller overhead, then sandwiches the Mighty in the corner! The Mighty flop down, and Otis powers up. Thorne leaps, but is caught, then dumped down beside Miller. Otis fires up, and does the Caterpillar! He elbows each man in turn, and has Thorne in the drop zone. Otis climbs up, but Miller saves Thorne from the Vader Bomb!

Thorne gets moving, running knee! Tag to Miller, and The Mighty bring Otis up. They give him the lariat to the back, cover, The Mighty win!

Winners: The Mighty, Nick Miller pinning

The Mighty took out Tucker Knight before ever having this match, yet they still had their hands full with Otis. Will they find shortcuts and advantages that will take them all the way to the NXT Tag Team Championships?

 

Bianca Belair speaks.

Even on her honeymoon, The EST of NXT has time to speak on what is going on in NXT. She sees these comments about other women thinking they’re the #1 contender. How? One runs around like a lunatic, the other is a pirate, the other is a captain of some team that doesn’t even exist, “and don’t even get me started” on the girl who can’t even focus on herself because she’s more worried about her husband. But then there’s Bianca, the undefeated EST, who hasn’t been pinned by even one of these… girls. For now, she’ll just get back to relaxing, and then maybe the other women will catch up. “But I doubt it.”

 

Kairi Sane speaks.

The Pirate Princess and inaugural Mae Young Classic winner heard what Vanessa Borne had to say about her the other week. And Kairi thinks Vanessa needs to focus more on fighting than talking. But it’s fine, they can have a match. Kairi vows to beat Vanessa, make her walk the plank, and then have her watch as Kairi takes the title from Shayna. Kairi’s eyes are set on the treasure, and the match is set for next week. Will Kairi keelhaul Vanessa on the way to challenging the Queen of Spades?

 

Velveteen Dream VS Chris Dijak!

The Patrick Clark Experience lost to the One and Only back in Chicago, then abandoned the Top One Percent in London. But that won’t stop his quest to be the best, can he rebound against one of the tallest talents in NXT?

The bell rings and the two circle. Dream swipes at Dijak, then they tie up. Dijak puts Dream in a corner, then backs off to say “Feast Your–“, but Dream interrupts with a finger to the lips. Dream poses but Dijak shoves him back with a grin on his face. Dijak toys with Dream but Dream puts Dijak in the corner. Fans are on Dream’s side, and Dream shoves Dijak to then pose. Dijak chops, then clubs Dream in the back. He boots Dream, but Dream fires off body shots. Dijak shoves Dream but Dream comes back with a kick. Dream runs into a kick from Dijak, then Dijak says it’s “Time to fly!” as he throws Dream with a suplex!

Dijak takes a page out of Dream’s book by shouting “What’s my name?!” as he pie-faces and clubs away on Dream. Dream hits back, then hops up, but Dijak SUPERKICKS Dream!

Dijak lifts Dream in a fireman’s carry, then shifts to standing backbreaker and “Go for a ride!” swinging slam! Fans applaud Dijak’s impressive power, and even chant “Feast Your Eyes!” Dijak grabs at Dream but Dream trips him up! Dream climbs, comes back in, and fires off furious arms and kicks on Dijak! Fans duel while Dream drags Dijak up for a lariat. Dream turns Dijak but Dijak resists. Dream still hits the Rude Awakening neckbreaker! He then stalks Dijak, and drops a leg! Cover, TWO, so Dream puts Dijak in a chinlock.

Dijak resists but Dream holds on. Fans rally, and Dijak stands up. Dijak fights back but Dream clubs him. They brawl with heavy hands, but Dijak gets the edge with elbows and a clubbing haymaker! Dijak roars then kicks Dream to give a forearm smash! He runs, discus boot! Cover, TWO! Fans applaud while Dream crawls to a corner and the apron. Dijak pursues, and decides to go up top. But Dream anchors his feet, to then yank him down! Dijak hits steel steps face first! Dream gets back in the ring while Dijak is dazed. Dijak manages to get back in, but Dream is on him with the Sidewinder! Cover, Dream wins!

Winner: Velveteen Dream, by pinfall

It was hard fought, but the Patrick Clark Experience conquers the top prospect that is Chris Dijak. Now that he’s back on the winning track, can Dream find his way to a championship?

However, Dream doesn’t get to keep the spotlight all to himself, because the Top One Percent appears.

The Best Here, the Best There and the Best Everywhere makes an early entrance, because he’s in the main event. But at the same time, that red hot glare he’s aiming at Dream lets everyone know he’s not over what happened in London. Can EC3 stay focused enough to win against an equally angry Johnny Wrestling?

 

Mustache Mountain speaks.

Trent Seven & Tyler Bate heard of the Undisputed Era wanting that rematch for the NXT Tag Team Championships. They also heard how the Undisputed Era thinks they’re “a joke”. What’s going to be really funny is when these two teams meet again, and Mustache Mountain spins the UE’s jaws. Seven & Bate did it in their home turf, it’s only fair they do it again in Full Sail. Challenge accepted, and GM William Regal makes it official! Will Mustache Mountain win in the United States like they did in the United Kingdom? Or will O’Reilly & Strong make those titles undisputed again?

 

Johnny Gargano VS EC3!

Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling went #JohnnyBadass against the Psycho Killer in Chicago, but somehow it backfired and Gargano lost. GM Regal has made the order that Gargano must move on from Ciampa, but the problem is that Ciampa is going after Aleister Black’s NXT Championship. Can Gargano keep his cool and get a win over the founding father of #NX3?

The bell rings and apparently he can’t! Gargano fires off left hands on EC3 right away, then pursues EC3 for more outside the ring! They go back into the ring and EC3 stomps Gargano. EC3 shouts for Gargano to settle down, but he won’t. Gargano powers out but EC3 runs him over with a shoulder. EC3 runs but Gargano dodges to then Thesz Press and rain down fast hands. Gargano then fires off more shots and backs EC3 into a corner. He chops EC3 again and again, then whips. EC3 reverses into the facelock STO, and grimaces as he bumps Gargano off buckles. Fans duel while EC3 gives back those chops around the ring. Gargano hits back with big forearms, but EC3 knees low.

EC3 puts Gargano back in a corner, then whips him out and in for the clothesline. He rolls Gargano out, takes aim, then hits the somersault neckbreaker! Cover, TWO, but EC3 keeps his focus. EC3 puts on a nerve hold, but fans rally up. Gargano endures the pain in his neck, but EC3 keeps him grounded. Gargano gets up as the fans keep going, and he fights EC3 back with more forearms. He whips but EC3 reverses to run him over with a big back elbow. Gargano gets to a corner while EC3 catches his breath. EC3 runs in corner to corner, for a big forearm smash. EC3 keeps on Gargano with a snapmare and then another nerve hold. He won’t let Gargano punk him like that, “I’m not Ciampa.”

Fans duel more, and Gargano gets up again. Gargano pries his way out but EC3 scoop slams him right away. EC3 shouts “Say my name!” E C 3 elbow drop! Fans keep dueling, but Gargano crawls to ropes. EC3 brings him up, but Gargano hits back with haymakers. Gargano runs back in, but is put on the apron. He kicks EC3 away, then slingshot spear! Gargano fires up and builds speed to DIVE onto EC3! The tope connects, but Gargano isn’t done. He puts EC3 in then takes aim, but misses in the corner to hit buckles. EC3 picks up speed and clobbers Gargano with a clothesline! Cover, TWO! Everyone knows Gargano has a lot of heart, but EC3 is surprised to see it in person.

EC3 drags Gargano up, but Gargano resists. EC3 clubs Gargano’s back, but Gargano hits back. They brawl back and forth with jabs and haymakers. EC3 kicks low but Gargano blocks the piledriver into an enziguri! Gargano gets to a corner while EC3 is dazed. EC3 runs in but into boots. Gargano hops up, and leaps, but is caught. EC3 pops him up but Gargano rolls him, into the GargaNO Escape! EC3 resists and rolls Gargano around, deadlift sit-out powerbomb! TWO!! Fans are loving this as both men are down. EC3 crawls away to sit up. But then Gargano sits up, and fans rally. EC3 realizes Gargano is up, but too late! Gargano is on him with furious fists! SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK! Then from the corner, full of fury and a bared knee, Gargano wants to use Ciampa’s attack!

But Gargano runs into an fireman’s carry! He manages to slip out, and he wrangles EC3 down into GargaNO Escape! It’s in, and EC3 endures as he crawls for ropes. Ropebreak! Gargano holds onto 4, then lets go. The referee reprimands the raging Gargano, but Gargano just goes back to his GargaNo Escape. EC3 grabs ropes again, but Gargano again holds on until 4. Gargano runs, and uses the Psycho Knee! EC3 ends up on the apron, but Gargano is beside himself with rage. EC3 stands, but Gargano is upon him, with a draping DDT! The same move Ciampa used to win. Cover, Gargano wins!

Winner: Johnny Gargano, by pinfall

Johnny Wrestling has become something far more dangerous than ever before. His obsession will the dark-hearted Ciampa is not dead, who else will Gargano make suffer on Ciampa’s behalf?

 


 

My Thoughts:

A pretty solid night for NXT to set up for the rest of the Summer. Without a TakeOver to build to while the main roster prepares for a lesser PPV, it’s really up to them when to schedule big matches. Shayna does great Heel work saying she has no one left and daring anyone to step up. She also plugs the second ever MYC so her promo could spur on some stories for that already. Dakota does great in beating Santana Garrett, which makes total sense given how Dakota went further in the first MYC than Santana. And Kairi Sane will surely win against Vanessa Borne next week since Kairi is the winner of the first MYC. In fact, I’d expect Kairi VS Shayna to then have the winner face the second MYC winner to establish which MYC class is better.

Getting the an NXT Tag Team Championship match for NXT TV is big, but with Adam Cole also busy with Danny Burch, I don’t think there will be much cheating going on. Cole likely beats Burch but Mustache Mountain likely retains. For that matter, Mustache Mountain likely retains until the NXT UK Division has their Tag Titles established. The Mighty really up the Heel as they beat down Tucker in the weight room, then find a way to use numbers against Otis. A lot of teams will be in limbo waiting for their chance at the tag titles, but I still say War Raiders are up before The Mighty.

Dream VS Dijak was really incredible, I did not expect that level of competition out of it. But at the same time, Dijak is no slouch in the ring, so it’s great he got to look that good against Dream. Dijak should definitely have a chance at the NXT North American Championship down the line. And with EC3 coming out early, I bet EC3 VS Dream will be a thing not too far from now. I do appreciate that we’re getting Aleister VS Ciampa already, and how it seems to feed Gargano’s story. Gargano definitely turned a corner tonight, and it’s only a matter of time before he goes after Ciampa against Regal’s orders.

My Score: 8.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25

Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Published

on

Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.

Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.

Ratings:

  • Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers: EY wins via Piledriver – ** 3/4
  • Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge: Elegantos win via Rarefied Air – ***
  • Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man: HTM wins via Cradle – *
  • Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ***

 

Results:

Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers

Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.

EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.

I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win. 

Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match? 

Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge

ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.

Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever? 

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad. 

Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man

I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.

JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.

Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.

Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams

Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.

The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.

Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.

Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…

Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!

Overall Score: 4/10

Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.

Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty w/ Trish Adora VS Anthony Gangone & Sal Mistretta!

The full force of Shane Taylor Promotions will be felt tonight! Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are in tonight’s main event, but that leaves Big Bad Shaney T Boy and #TAIGASTYLE to open the night. Will they prove that ROH now belongs to STP? Or will Mr. Sleep & #SturdySal show they can rumble, bad man, rumble?

The teams sort out and Lee starts against Gangone. The bell rings and Lee LEG LARIATS Gangone! The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”

Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!

Winners: Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty, by pinfall

Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?

Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!

While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?

The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.

Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!

Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!

Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission

Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?

 

The Frat House speaks.

Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!

Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?

 

Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.

Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.

Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?

 

8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!

What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?

Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!

Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.

Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up. Taven fights the underhooks to fire body shots. Gibson keeps Taven back with a wristlock, and he tags in Drake!

Drake runs up, GYV double whip, and then they trap Taven in the corner. Drake ELBOWS Taven, Gibson UPPERCUTS, and then feed to the WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! Drake argues, but then he ROCKS Taven!

The fans boo, the ref counts, Gibson talks trash, but Infantry stops at 4.

The Infantry taunt Bennett & Top Flight before they DOBULE DROPKICK Taven outta the Tree! Cover, TWO! Bravo JABS, JABS, and then he BLASTS Top Flight! Bravo says they got nothing! But Taven scoops! Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!

Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!

The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV! Dean kicks Dante low, reels him in, and crosses the arms, DEPTH CHARGE! But Darius BOOTS Dean, then WALL WALK KICKS! Bravo runs up, kicks low, and runs to SCISSOR KICK!

The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!

Winners: The Kingdom & Top Flight, by pinfall

Former rivals made great allies here and they came out on top! But with everyone wanting the ROH World Tag Team Championships, will The Kingdom and Top Flight have to battle it out like the old days? Or can they stay friendly in the race to the top?


My Thoughts:

A very good episode but I’m surprised this was only 37 minutes long. Even then, there were pretty obvious squash matches, like Archer beating Solo and Miyu beating Havok. Well, so was Shane & Lee winning, but opening matches aren’t skippable. Ok and Deonna was of course winning her Pure Rules match. Why didn’t TK just get the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament going by now so that the title match could be at Supercard? Good to hear about Global Wars: Mexico, though.

The Premier Athletes have a good promo, but they’re just getting sadder as a team if they have to keep “expunging” losses from their record as if that makes them winners. Frat House has a good promo to set up the Six Man Tag, and if ROH wasn’t such an afterthought, I’d love if they explored what Preston Vance said. He claims he never liked Dark Order, hates them all now, but what if leaving Dark Order, joining LFI, leaving LFI, and now forming the Frat House is all Vance grieving Mr. Brodie? He doesn’t have to rejoin Dark Order, he just has to come to terms with why he’s actually being so awful to his old friends and maybe turn Frat House around into Faces.

And very good 8 Man Tag main event, everybody looking good even though it was a rather short match. Good win for the Faces to keep Top Flight afloat and to get The Kingdom, or in this case #OGK, back on track. I would think Dustin & Sammy make quick work of the Premier Athletes, but maybe if we can get three or four teams in one match, that’d be a way to protect Dustin & Sammy while crowning new champions.

My Score: 8.7/10
