IMPACT! Wrestling One Night Only: Night of the Dummies
Coming to you from a really small arena in Binghamton, New York, this is Night of the Dummies (YEAH!)
Match One: Jay Freddie vs Isys Ephex
The ring announcer mistakenly calls this a triple threat match
Josh Matthews and Sonjay Dutt calling the action
Arm ringers from both with some chain wrestling to start. Isis with a huge shoulder tackles, and Jay with a receipt. Two arm drags by Jay and a drop kick to take down Isys. Second drop kick and a cover for two. Jay charges the corner, gets placed on top and kicks away Isys, and hits a missile drop kick. Suicide dive puts Jay into the crowd (as they as SUPER close).
Back in the ring, Jay tries to hit a cross body, Isys tries a backbreaker counter and misses. Seated arm bar by Isys and punches to the gut. Cover for one. They exchange chops until Isys knees the midsection and moves Jay to the corner. Shoulder blocks, and he dumps Jay into the middle of the ring. Cover for two.

Leg lariat by Jay after a missed clothesline, and a gut wrench duplex gets a 2-count.

Video of Eli Drake playing piano… horribly. He also can’t sing… Welcomes us to the show, says he’s gathered the top talent for us tonight. Sends us to his “guest correspondent” on the street to get the people’s reaction, and he sends it to Eli Drake.
Match Two: Dick Justice vs Fallah Bahh
Dick Justice was the “stand by wrestler” in IMPACT!, but here he is known as “The Super Cop”
Bahh tries to get a chant for himself, but the crowd just chants “Dick”. They shake hands and the fans chant “we want Dick.” Sumo charge and neither man goes down. Justice off the ropes, shoulder charge gets nothing “No No No” from Bahh. Bahh off the ropes with the same result. Second shoulder charge, and a third and fourth, and fifth. No result and now both men are winded. Both men off the ropes, collide and both men go down and out of the ring.
For some reason this starts the first Saintly Fecal Matter chant of the night…
Bahh charges in and they both hit a clothesline. Justice tries a slam, gets nothing but a double sledge to the back. Bahh charges Justice in the corner who pulls out a finger gun (yes, he made a gun shape with his fingers) and that stops Bahh in his tracks and Bahh puts his hands up. Justice orders Bahh to get on the ground, Bahh prays for his life and kisses the finger gun. The Bahh asks “No No No?” and Justice puts the finger gun away in his fanny pack that he’s still wearing. Justice goes for a hug, and Bahh hits a Samoan Drop.
Bahh hits a series of headbutts and then a Hadouken (WHAT?!?!) that takes Justice down. Bahh hits a dropkick (-ish) and then rolls over Justice. Bahh covers for two. Chop exchange by both men, Justice chops him into the corner, then calls time out as he’s winded. More chops then charges across and eats an elbow from Bahh. Bahh then charges and Justice moves and Bahh eats post. Left hand punches from Justice followed by a right, and he bodyslams Bahh.
Justice then leaves the ring and poses for the crowd. Justice returns to the ring and Bahh hits a belly to belly on Justice. Drags Justice to the corner, Banzai Drop for the 1-2-3
Your winner: Fallah Bahh
After the match, they shake hands and hug it out before Bahh leaves.
Backstage interview with Moose as he gets sentimental about how Binghampton sucks. Talks about how he gets to wrestle KM, saying he didn’t even know there was a man on the IMPACT! roster named KM…
Backstage now with Dick Justice, saying how he isn’t a stand by wrestler, he’s the Super Cop, and how he was going to put Bahh away, but Bahh is one of the smartest men he’s ever faced. Says next time, Justice will be served
Match Three: Slyck Wagner Brown vs Axel Lennox
Lennox looks like a reject from The Ascension…
Collar and elbow tie up to start. Side headlock by Brown, whipped off into a shoulder block, Lennox off the ropes into one of his own and takes down Brown. Chain wrestling take downs leads to a spot where Brown visually signals for Lennox to grab his wrist, which he does, just for Brown to duck under and escape and try his reverse DDT, but Lennox escapes as well.
Back to the collar and elbow. Wrist control to Lennox, but a leg sweep by Brown into a headlock. Lennox runs to the rope but Brown clotheslines his over the top. Brown grabs a fans water bottle and hits Lennox in the head with it. Clothesline by Brown on the floor. Lennox fights back and slams Brown’s face in to the guardrail twice. Lennox breaks up the nonexistent count, which now the referee starts…
Lennox places Brown on the apron and hits a leg drop. Back in the ring, he covers Brown for two. Lennox hits a scoop slam and an elbow drop again for two. Matthews says this maybe a rivalry, Sonjay says its one we know nothing about. Way to build the match guys…
Lennox goes for a suplex, Brown cradles for two. Double clothesline, both men down. Brown charges out of the corner with two clotheslines, then a short DDT after whipping Lennox off the ropes. Reversals a plenty until Lennox hits a spine buster for two. Cutter by Lennox, covers again for two. Punch exchange in the middle of the ring. Goes to the corner by Wagner hits a drop kick and then a power bomb. picks up Lennox, sets him on the top buckle and hits an enziguri to the back, then a sit out Dominator off the top for the 1-2-3

Coverage
Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 10.31.2024
Coming off Bound For Glory, most of us got a lot of news of injuries to Vikingo and Chris Bey. Both men are fine and starting their rehab, so we can focus on exactly what TNA decides to do moving towards Turning Point.
Well damn, I know its Halloween, but an ambulance wasn’t on the tapings cards…but tell that to TNA. Vikingo and Chris Bey suffered injuries during tapings, so I’m not sure how the next few shows will present and/or what will have to pivot with two potential big players on the shelf for a while. It goes without saying that I wish them as much speed in healing possible, but knowing that they are both “fine” and starting their paths to recovery, I can compartmentalize and wonder how the dominos will fall on the shows leading to Turning Point.
Bound For Glory gave us a few things to chew on, JBL’s involvement with Nemeth, Hendry getting the Tetsuya Naito treatment, Hardyz back on top in 2024, Masha being the new Tsarina of the Knockouts Division and Speedball finding a new level of aggression to make you wonder how babyface he’ll be staying moving into 2025. So that should be some of the major wrinkles to iron out moving forward…let’s see where everything goes!

Ratings:
- First Cla$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz): First Cla$$ wins via Down Payment – ** 1/2
- Eric Young, Steve Maclin & Jonathan Gresham vs Josh Alexander, Jason Hotch & John Skyler: Maclin wins via KIA – *
- Dani Luna w/Jody Threat vs ASH by Elegance w/Personal Concierge & Heather by Elegance: ASH wins via Rarefied Air – **
- Lei Ying Lee vs Maggie Moore: Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
- Joe Hendry & Nic Nemeth vs Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha Edwards: Eddie wins via Boston Knee Party – ***
Results:
Frankie Kazarian walks out to Hendry’s music and in full Joe Hendry cosplay. He’s even doing the whole entrance including the turn. He even does a…bad Scottish accent, sounds more like South African, but even if it’s not an Aunty Donna skit, its still funny. Kaz Hendry calls Hendry a loser, choker and makes fun of him in classic cosplay style. Reminds me of Mr Anderson doing Surfer Sting, or Kevin Nash and his Arn Anderson promo. This stuff is cheesy but funny. Real Hendry of course cuts it off eventually, they do the Spiderman meme for a bit and then Hendry cuts a retort promo. Hendry starts joking with Kaz a little and claims that Kaz and JBL screwed things up and Nemeth is involved somehow.
Nemeth’s music hits, he cuts it short and comes out to claim he has nothing to do with the JBL stuff. Nemeth does the fighting Champion Babyface thing and says Hendry deserves a rematch because he’s denying being in cahoots. Kaz is just having fun on the outside. AND NOW ALISHA COMES OUT! “DO YOU WANNA KNO SUMTHIIIN??” no music, just Alisha and her crop top interrupt the segment. Oh Dango and Eddie are there too…but I know what I’m paying attention to. Eddie and Dango say typical heel things, Nemeth gets sick of it, offers a tag match of Dango & Eddie vs Hendry & Nemeth. Kaz walks in the ring and says they should make it a 6 Man, he’ll tag with them too (still in full South African Hendry gimmick). Nemeth Superkicks Kaz, Hendry Standing Ovation, and Kaz is left laying as we cut to commercial.
Coming back, Lish is still running her mouth, now about Masha. Masha comes out to fight them both, Jordynne makes the save once the numbers start to work against Masha. Santino comes out, makes the Knockouts tag official for next week and officially confirms the JDC & Eddie vs Hendry & Nemeth match.
First Cla$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)
Oh look it’s been 30 minutes but finally a match!
First spot is a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors that is a touchy janky, but nothing egregious. Rascalz pull off the old High Speed Dirt from MCMG and do the MCMG pose for the reference. Navarro tries the Spiderman taunt in the middle of the ropes, Wentz Dropkicks him, goes for a Dive but AJ Low Bridges so Wentz goes crashing. Navarro hits the Tope con Hilo, looks smooth, blind tag from AJ as KC flies, AJ continues the offense, Tennessee Whiskey into the tag to Navarro for a near fall. Snapmare into Double Stomp for Navarro, and Wentz stays on the receiving end of the beat down.
Wentz tries to fight back, AJ grabs the hair and drags him back down, goes for a Senton but misses, so Wentz tags out, hot tag to Trey. Sliding Kick, Sliding Meteora for KC, tandem chopping down into a Swanton from Wentz for two. Superkick party between KC and Wentz until Wentz takes them both out with the Running Crossbody. Trey goes to the top, looks for the Diving Meteora, but Navarro crotches Trey, Avalanche Down Payment from AJ and First Cla$$ wins!
Eric Young, Steve Maclin & Jonathan Gresham vs Josh Alexander, Jason Hotch & John Skyler
You know, at least Hotch has talent. So The Good Hands are an upgrade over generic indie white boys version 8921581929 that are normally part of the Northern Armoury.
The match immediately begins in picture in picture…and that’s not terrible since I think we all know much won’t happen in the early goings. Nice to see a well times ad break for the first time in months. Gresham starts and makes the Good Hands look like idiots. Joint Locks, quick spots, Leap Frog’s Skyler so he Spears Hotch. Just general toying with idiots until Josh decides to get involved with a shortcut right as we’re coming back and Josh tags in to stomp on Gresham in the corner. Drop Toe Hold, Thrust Kick into Hotch tagging in and hitting the Rolling Outside In Neckbreaker for a two.
I’ll be honest, I zoned out during this match. Nothing is important about this match, the Good Hands are job guys, and the fact that Skyler eats the Caught in Crosshairs and KIA for the pinfall…no one is surprised. This was such a filler match, I enjoyed doom scrolling more than whatever happened.

Dani Luna w/Jody Threat vs ASH by Elegance w/Personal Concierge & Heather by Elegance
This has been a very wrestling light episode, not sure if its because of the injuries from tapings, but this ain’t a great start for building momentum into 2025.
Slow start with ASH trying to lock a few moves but Dani just shrugging her off. Dani is thiccer than a King Sized Snickers, and I love watching her bully people. She throws ASH around, Heather tries to interfere and grab ASH’s hands to pull her out, but Dani pulls them both in. ASH slips away, Dani chases, Concierge gets in the way and gives ASH the chance to Drop Toe Hold Dani into the steps. A little bit of a back and forth, Dani tries the Luna Landing, ASH gets away, Dani connects with a Shotgun Kick. Dani goes to the corner after, ASH tries something but gets Blue Thunder Bombed to hell. Dani then decides Snap German Suplexes are on the menu, then goes for the Outside In from the Apron German Suplex but Heather hits Dani with a broom while the Concierge distracts the ref, ASH hits the Rarefied Air and ASH WINS!
At least this match did what it needed to. It sets the stage for the Elegance Clique to challenge Spitfire for those inane belts. But even if I think the belts are useless, they need to build a story for them…I suppose.
Lei Ying Lee vs Maggie Moore
Well at least they’re giving Lei another job match, so hopefully they can build her momentum as opposed to the useless inclusion of her in the Gauntlet. Lei blocks Moore’s Hip Toss and turns it into an Twisting Overdrive Headscissor Driver. Even if it wasn’t supposed to be a driver, is was great looking. Sole Butt into a Double Jump Crossbody, then connects with Thunderstruck for the win.
Savanna Evans marches down the ramp, Big Boot to Lei and hits her with the Full Nelson Bomb. So Lei Ying Lee gets her introductory feud. Could be a fun combination since Savanna is pretty solid. Only real problem here is this match looked lame and when the Flipping Headscissor Driver was more impressive than her expected finish, the optics are weird at best.

Joe Hendry & Nic Nemeth vs Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha Edwards
Oh Kaz comes out in his normal gimmick, no longer South African Hendry. He’s coming to the announce table and honestly, Kaz, Hannifan an Rehwoldt are a fun 3 man booth in doses.
Dango dorkball starts with Hendry, he does the Stalling Vertical suplex with ease, toys with JDC, tags in Nemeth for a quick tandem move and then Nemeth just goes for close to the corner deliberate arm offense. Lots of close clinch offense, Abdominal Stretches, Arm Wringers, basic Suplexes, quick tags between Nemeth and Hendry. The “main event duo with tension” is working like a well oiled machine. We come back from Picture in Picture to Dolph hitting a Rude Awakening, into the 10 Count Shot to the Heart Elbows.
Nemeth looks to tune up the band and our beautiful orator Lish picks an ankle. This allows JDC a cheapshot and a quick double team from JDC and Eddie before JDC tags out and Eddie works over Nemeth. Nemeth sells the NOAH Chop in the corner like he got hit with a Frying Pan. Eddie tags in JDC, tandem attack of the Fulcrum and Slingshot Elbow double team, so JDC is keeping the offense in. JDC goes for the Harlem Hangover, and MISSES! Slow build tag spot, simultaneous tags and Hendry is in! Sack of Shits for everyone! Kip Up, Pops the crowd and looks for the Standing Ovation but gets cut off. System try a double team but Hendry does the ole counter Double Clothesline.
Hendry tags in Nemeth, Fame ASSer but JDC breaks it up. Hendry shoves JDC out, turns around and sees Eddie, tries to Lariat Eddie but Eddie ducks and he takes out Nic. Boston Knee Party, SYSTEM WINS!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well given the troubles they had at the previous taping and the fact that most people who watch will be aware, I think it warrants a touch of leniency. Yes plenty of the matches did absolutely nothing or weren’t worth the time watching. But a lot of the threads that god sown this week were setting up for the future. Dissension with Nemeth and Hendry, the next Knockout Tag contenders, Lei Ying Lee’s first feud, Santana gunning for the title, Kaz being an unabashed douche and completely knocking it out of the park, and Moose going for the X Division Title next week. Moose cashing in Option C, while Kaz has the Gauntlet Trophy feels like the perfect shenanigans we could look forward too. Just imagine if they do Feast or Fired for Thanksgiving…5 man…King of the Mountain match at Hard to Kill, maybe? MAAAYBE?

Andrew’s TNA Bound For Glory Results & Match Ratings: 10.26.2024
Bound for Glory is TNA’s WrestleMania! We get the Hall of Fame inductions of Bob Ryder and Rhino, and then a card filled with title matches. Vikingo, Hendry and The Hardyz all have a chance to leave with gold!
Most of the television leading up to this show was worthless, the pre-show was kinda pathetic all things considered. Kaz won the Gauntlet, which was the obvious answer because of his constant involvement in the main event, but also we only saw Tasha Steelz and Lei Ying Lee as the Knockouts additions, and they didn’t fair well at all. So it shows the Knockouts division is fairly thin and nothing interesting about the Final Four unless you think pandering to Detroit with Rhino making it is special.
So now we get to see Kaz try to pick his spot in the World title match to try and screw someone. I’ll admit, the Countdown lowered my excitement for this show, but hopefully kicking off with Vikingo and Speedball, that can re-spark my attention.
Ratings:
- X Division Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo vs Speedball Mike Bailey (c): Bailey retains via Meteorain – ****
- Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) (c) vs Sleep Paralysis Demons (Wendy Choo & Rosemary): Spitfire retains via Pressure Drop – *
- Steve Maclin vs Josh Alexander: Josh wins via Ankle Lock – *** 1/2
- Monster’s Ball Digital Media Championship & International Heavyweight Championship: PCO (c) vs Matt Cardona: PCO retains via PCO-Sault – *** 1/4
- Moose vs Mike Santana: Santana wins via Spin the Block – ** 1/2
- TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jordynne Grace (c) vs Masha Slamovich: Masha wins via Piledriver – ***** – TITLE CHANGE!!!
- Frankie Kazarian Special Guest Referee: TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) vs Joe Hendry: Nemeth retains via Danger Zone – ***
- Full Metal Mayhem: The Hardyz vs The ABC vs The System (c):Hardyz win! – **** 1/4 – TITLE CHANGE!!!
Results:
X Division Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo vs Speedball Mike Bailey (c)
Strike exchange starts fast and Vikingo takes the advantage early on, a sequence of Dives to the outside has his momentum rolling, but when he goes for a Splash from the top, Bailey moves and Vikingo lands in a way reminiscent of how he hurt himself earlier this year. So the small hiccup from Vikingo allows for Bailey to slap on a Figure Four after picking the ankle, Backflip Knees and just generally keeping up the pressure. Bailey tries to throw Vikingo out, but he hits the Matt Cross rope rebound into a Superkick to buy himself time and then a few clever rope dodges and Missile Dropkick have things working for Vikingo.
Vikingo does the Old School barricade walk into a Frankensteiner on the outside. Vikingo tries to go inside for the Baseball Slide, but Bailey jumps up on the ropes and pulls off the Asai Moonsault but adds the Tornillo Twist. Back in the ring, Shooting Star Press, but he misses, Vikingo tries to charge, Green Tea Plunge counter! Bailey gets a near fall, tries to continue but Vikingo slaps on a Triangle Armbar, Bailey tries to break so Vikingo Monkey Flips him. Running Knees misses, Fisherman Michinoku Driver from Bailey! Shooting Star Press connects! Only a two! Bailey goes for the Tornado Kick spot but Vikingo counters with a Waterwheel Kick! Overhand Chop spot, so Bailey goes full lucha style with this moment. Bailey hears an “Uno Mas” chant, Vikingo expects it but Bailey decides to fire off some Round Kicks. Vikingo catches a foot, lands a few shots, kicks the knee so Bailey goes Crane Kick pose, Vikingo looks confused and eats a perfect Crane Kick!
Tornado Kick spot connects! Ultima Weapon! Bailey retains, 1-2-…oh no! Vikingo kicks out! Bailey is incensed, sets up the Flamingo Driver and Vikingo counters with a Destroyer! Running Knees! Bailey powders to avoid the 630 Senton so Vikingo walks the ropes and hits a Tornillo of his own! Feeds Bailey back in, looks for the 630 again but Bailey counters, then sweeps the leg, Bailey goes for Backflip Knees on the apron but Vikingo rolls in! Vikingo perches on the post and kills Bailey with an Avalanche Destroyer onto the apron! 630 attempt again but Bailey sits up enough to dishearten Vikingo so he changes the game plan. They both fight up the ropes, Headbutts and strikes, Bailey hits Meteorain! Bailey retains for real this time!
Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) (c) vs Sleep Paralysis Demons (Wendy Choo & Rosemary)
Choo starts with her forward roll creepy crawling after the opponent attack. Spitfire connects with a few tandem moves, but Choo kinds likes it. She shoves Dani into the corner, tags in Rosemary and Dani fires out of the corner to level Rosemary and hit a Brainbuster, but just sees the Zombie Rise. Spitfire continues the tandem attacks on Rosemary, but Choo uses the pillow to buffet the Whip into the corner. Look at Wendy being a good teammate. Jody grabs the pillow and then…German Suplexes it to the outside. Is it sad to the say the Pillow is more over and has more charisma than Jody Threat?
Choo with the Cartwheel Forearm into a charging Kick and Rosemary hits the Upside Down on Jody. Demons have Threat isolated until she fires off an Irish Whip and Lariats Wendy. Simultaneous tags, Rosemary and Dani collide and Dani’s power is the early story. Scoop Slams, Shotgun Kicks, Running Boot to knock Wendy off the apron, Missile Dropkick from Dani for a near fall attempt but Rosemary Jacknife counters it and Dani kicks out. Rosemary powders, Spitfire look for tandem dives on Rosemary, but Choo grabs Jody and beats on her while Dani flies alone. Jody takes entirely too long to get to her next spot after the Demons Double DDT Dani, so there’s a weird lull in the action.
Jody tries to fire up Dani to get in and tag her, but Wendy picks the ankle of Jody to stop the tag. Spear from Rosemary but she chooses to not finish the match, they go to the top rope but Dani counters and Double Avalanche Powerbomb. Dani makes the tag to Jody, Wendy and Rosemary inadvertently hit each other, Jody stacks them on the ropes for her Running Knees spot into the Double German. Pressure Drop connects in a match that was pretty crap and had as much heat as Pluto.
Post match Rosemary Spears Wendy Choo, so I guess this arrangement is over.
Steve Maclin vs Josh Alexander
Maclin got new music, and its actually pretty good. Sounds more tweener/face, so I’m glad it doesn’t suck.
Maclin attacks Josh during his entrance and just goes fast. Throws Josh over the steps, flies off the steps for Death from Above, tries to throw him in the ring but Josh powders so Maclin hits a SCUD! Facebuster into the apron, a few chops, goes for the Irish Whip into the post but Josh counters and Maclin’s head connects with the post. So now Josh has some control, a few more strikes and goes for the Figure Four in the post. The bell officially rings now, and Josh lays in some boots and connects with simple offense. Maclin counters a Whip with one of his own, Josh eats it chest first, bounces out and eats a Running Lariat from Maclin. Backbreaker from Maclin starts a few moments of Maclin driving knees into the back. Maclin to the top, Josh tries to stop him, Maclin fights him off, goes for the Jar Headbutt, but misses so Josh connects with a Powerbreaker!
The action in the match is more simplified and boring so the crowd starts chanting “Jared Goff” “Walking Weiner” ” Punch that Dick”. It’s Detroit, I got nothing. Josh goes for his Kurt Angle homage German Suplexes, but Maclin counters and hits about 10 of his own. The crowd however doesn’t care, they are just trying to get themselves over. It’s not until Maclin’s 10th Suplex they actually react to the match instead of their own special ketchup flavored stupidity. Fighting Spirit spot, Maclin puts Josh in the Tree of Woe, goes for Caught in the Crosshairs but Josh sits up and Maclin saves himself from getting posted. But Josh takes the momentum and drops Maclin spine first on the apron, hits the Low Crossbody, and then rolls him in for a near fall. Josh goes for the C4 Spike, but Maclin counters with the Olympic Slam. Takes him to the top, Superplex into the FU for a two! Maclin wants KIA, but Josh counters, Maclin tries to brace himself on the ropes and ref bump happens. Ugh.
Josh kicks Maclin in the balls and grabs a zip tie from his knee pad, ties up Maclin and starts stomping on him. Referee is back alive and questioning the zip tie situation. Josh postures in the ropes, Maclin attacks him with his arms tied causing Josh to fall into a Tree of Woe. Caught in the Crosshairs with no hands, SCUD no hands, ref keeps trying to cut Maclin free but Maclin isn’t letting him, back to back Busaiku Knees for a two count. Maclin demands to not have his hands freed, Josh scoops him, Tombstone Piledriver! 1-2-Shoulder Up! C4 Spike attempt, but no! Maclin tries another Busaiku but misses, German from Josh, Maclin fires up and Headbutts Josh, so Josh grabs the ankle and goes for the Ankle Lock with grapevine. Maclin passes out so Josh wins.
Oddly, the concept was a little dumb, but the crowd started to buy in when Maclin refused to cut free and just attacked.
Monster’s Ball Digital Media Championship & International Heavyweight Championship: PCO (c) vs Matt Cardona
This starts as expected, PCO stalking, and then Cardona lands a Dropkick that sends PCO to the outside and demands a count out, even though its a Monster’s Ball match. Cardona throws PCO into steps, hits him with steps, steps up on steps, asking what are you doing step bro step….okay I got a little carried away with all the step spots. PCO clocks Cardona and grabs a Trash Can, so very slow and basic, Cardona counters a Powerbomb sending PCO into the lower half of the steps. See…more steps, told you. Cardona finds a Door…how very GCW of him. Door sounds like Gore, so Detroit goes wild. Cardona tries the Radio Silence after setting up the Door and PCO tosses him through instead. PCO muscles Cardona out of the ring, Cardona goes fishing for weapons, PCO goes for a dive and eats a trash can instead. Cardona finds another door, and a few Bound for Glory chairs to complain about not being on the chair. Why do I feel like that’s a WWE reference? Then he creates a chair and door masterpiece where he puts two chairs sideways under the door. So if you go through the door, you eat sideways chairs as well.
PCO fights back, 10 Count Punches in the corner but Cardona counters and Powerbombs PCO into the Chair/Door doom spot for two. Little black bag is next, thumb tacks, Cardona puts the tacks in PCO’s mouth and ReBoot! Cardona keeps driving PCO’s face into the thumb tacks but PCO keeps sitting up as Cardona literally does acupuncture on PCO’s face with the tacks. PCO fires, Cardona hits Radio Silence for 2! What’s behind Door number 3 you may ask? Cardona, Cardona is the answer because PCO just charges into it while Cardona is bringing it in. Very American Gladiators or MXC. PCO goes for his own little black bag. Glass this time? Let’s find out.
OH, more tacks. Cardona with the Low Blow, to stop the attempted damage. Cardona then goes under the ring for an Eco Cooler green barbwire bat (Ecto matches Cardona’s Ghostbuster inspired outfit). PCO blocks the bat, Chokeslam into the tacks! PCO-SAULT ONTO THE TACKS! PCO wins!
Moose vs Mike Santana
Santana charges at Moose, he instantly powders, baits out Santana and JDC tries to interfere immediately but to no avail. So Moose gets rocked, thrown into the guardrails, eats a Running Big Boot, and Moose can’t get anything going. Santana goes for a Suicida but Moose pulls JDC in the way! So JDC eating the move gives Moose a chance for a cheapshot into an Apron Bomb. Moose slides in to distract the ref and JDC attacks Santana a bit before throwing him back in. Santana tries to fight back, rocks Moose a bit in a corner, goes for a Running Cannonball, but Moose catches him, Sitout Powerbomb for two! Santana shows fight again, but Moose puts the brakes on the come back with an Uranage.
Moose starts doing the insult boot taps, Santana spits at him and then fires up to throw hands. Moose eat Chops like it’s a BBQ joint, Moose goes for the Triangle Crossbody but misses and Rolling Buck Fifty levels Moose! Santana goes to the top, Moose powders so Santana takes out both Moose and JDC, Cannonball again, Moose catches him but Santana turns it into a Frankensteiner, then an Asai Moonsault! Slides both back in, Outline in Chalk for two! Spin the Block…gets blocked! Spicolli Driver into the corner from Santana! 450 Splash but Moose kicks out.
Santana goes to the top again, JDC cuts him off, Moose looks for an Avalanche Go To Hell, but it was more like Ugly as Hell. They powder to the apron, trade blows, trade “Fuck You” kicks, Apron Bomb from Moose as both look exhausted. Terrible sell from Santana where he’s not moving til 9 on the outside, magically pops up fast to roll in and then plays dead again. So JDC looks to get involved, Santana “played possum” but it was too long and stupid, Spin the Block on JDC and Lights Out from Moose…but only for 2! Moose looks for Lights Out again, catches him mid Spear in a Cradle, Moose pops out, tries the rope run Spear and hits Spin the Block for the win!
Sloppy spots, bad psychology, too much JDC involvement, the big moves connected well enough, but this was amateur looking.
TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jordynne Grace (c) vs Masha Slamovich
Jordynne extends a hand and they actually shake hands. Masha and Jordynne go for tests of power, arm wringers, and its mostly a stalemate early on. Things speed up a little and Masha eats a Reverse Side Suplex, Masha Drop Toe Holds Jordynne into the ropes, floats over, kicks Jordynne in the face, then Savate Kick sends Jordynne to powder and Masha with the Tope con Hilo to lay out Jordynne on the outside. Jordynne kicks the leg, sweeps the other leg on Masha sending her crashing to the apron and then a Diving Stomp. Jordynne puts Masha on her shoulders, bounces her head and ankles off the post before connecting on the Cartwheel Death Valley Driver. A few more leg kicks when they get inside, Grace goes for the Juggernaut Driver but Masha blocks and goes for a quick Cradle for 2. Masha escapes the Kudome Valentine and goes for a combination of Sambo kicks but is slow into the cover because of all the focus on the legs.
Jordynne tries the Spinning Backfist, but Masha ducks and DDT into the Guillotine Choke, but Jordynne stands up and turns it into a Jackhammer for two! World’s Strongest Slam into Vader Bomb, but Masha moves! Russian Destroyer attempt but Jordynne counters, they climb to the top, Masha slips down, tries an Avalanche Powerbomb but no, so Masha fires up as Jordynne turns around and Avalanche Frakensteiner into Russian Death Device! But Jordynne kicks out at two! Masha tries to go for more kicks, but Jordynne keeps taking pot shots at the bad knee, Jordynne moves but Masha puts her body on the line and just hits the Springboard Crossbody. Burst from Masha, Running Big Boot, Capo Kick, looks for another Russian Death Device, but counters, Gutwrench German Suplex from Jordynne into a Kryptonite Krunch for two!
Fighting on the apron, Jordynne tries to Suplex Masha back in, but Masha trips her up and she takes a weird bump back into the ring. Masha fights up the corner, Jordynne tries the Kinikku Buster, but Masha counters, two Knee Strikes, BURNING HAMMER! For only two! Two strikes and a Backfist misses from Masha, but connects from Jordynne, Masha connects with a few kicks then Jordynne counters into a Overhead Fishermen Suplex, Juggernaut Driver! But Masha kicks out at the last second, Ankle Lock into a Stretch Muffler but Masha finds the ropes. Jordynne fights her up the ropes, Headbutts from Masha into an Avalanche Russian Death Device! PILEDRIVER! MASHA WINS!
Frankie Kazarian Special Guest Referee: TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) vs Joe Hendry
Hendry does a Lose Yourself parody for his intro package and then comes out dressed like Jason Vorhees. Meme wrestler or not, he’s got it figured out enough to be over as hell.
A “Fuck Ohio” chant starts before the bell even rings. Early exchange is just tie ups and escapes, nothing worth really mentioning. The Ohio hatred is the best part of this first 90 seconds or so. Super slow start. Shoulder Tackle into a Stalling Suplex is the first spot that does something and the crowd loves it. It’s a very pro-Hendry crowd. Nic hits a Rude Awakening and the crowd wants none of it. 10 Count Shot to the Heart Elbows. Hendry manages the comeback, quickens the pace a little with Shoulder Tackles, Sack of Shit, Kip Up and Standing Ovation attempt, but Nic counters into a Sleeper Hold! Hendry shakes him off, Nic charges and eats a Ganso Bomb for 2! Hendry goes for an Ankle Lock but Nic gets to the ropes.
Nic is rocked on the buckles, Hendry goes up, they scuffle, and Nic connects with a Headbutt, Hendry big right hand, Avalanche Sack of Shit! Kaz starts a standing count and starts looking around. He considers cashing in his trophy, Hendry rolls out to stop Kaz from “calling his shot”, Hendry slides in and Nic connects on a Fame ASSer, Kaz fast counts but Hendry kicks out! Looks like Nic isn’t happy with a fast counter either, Hendry fires back a little, looks for a Powerbomb but Nic counters with a DDT! Nic goes for a Flying Crossbody, Hendry catches him, on the shoulders, Attitude Adjustment for 2! Nic peppers Hendry with some Forearms, Carbon Footprint from Hendry! Nic rolls to the apron, they start fighting on the apron. Headbutt from Hendry, Superkick from Nic, HENDRY CUTTER on the apron!
Both men are down, Kaz tries to call his shot, JBL storms to the ring from the crowd and Clotheslines Kaz! He goes out of the ring, has a few words with Hendry…and Clotheslines HENDRY! Ryan Nemeth jumps out of the crowd to ask what is going on and JBL decks Ryan! JBLs is on a Rampage! Hendry stumbles back in the ring, DANGER ZONE! Another referee runs down, Hendry kicks out! Nic tuning up the Band, Superkick no, Standing Ovation no, Superkick connects and DANGER ZONE…Nemeth…retains? Why?
Snails pace start, will they won’t they Kaz moments, JBL interference and a generic referee to wholly invalidate Kaz even being the referee. Did NOSAWA book this match? Embarassing, now I see why they didn’t have it go last.
Full Metal Mayhem: The Hardyz vs The ABC vs The System (c)
ABTLC attacks one member of the System each, so they go for the Poetry in Motion spot they did last iMPACT! episode. Hardy hit the double lariat to knock out the members and now Bey goes for a Tope con Hilo, Ace starts collecting chairs for all non-System members and ABTLC are working together to beat on the heels. The logic is definitely flawed here with the Hardyz attacking System through the crowd and ABC is helping. They should be just setting up ladders to win the match, but they are focusing on beating on The System more than winning the match. Bey puts Myers on a table, Ace Frog Splash through the table and then the Hardyz dog walk Eddie through the crowd, back to the ring. Jeff puts Eddie on a different table, Matt climbs a ladder and hits the Extreme Leg Drop through the table.
Jeff finally remembers there’s a goal to this match and sets up a ladder, so Bey stops Jeff and now ABTLC are fighting. Hardyz double team Bey with the Plot Twist! Both Hardyz start climbing, so Ace just tips the ladder over to stop the Hardyz. Jeff starts moving before Ace can climb up, so now ABC are double teaming Jeff. Poetry in Motion used against him, Drop Toe Hold into a chair, Double Stomp into a chair, Eddy Gordo kick rocks Matt. Matt is laid on a ladder that’s propped in the corner and Double Stomp on the ladder! Jeff finds a construction ladder, attacks ABC, opens it out and then ABC Suplex Jeff onto the construction ladder. Ace decides to climb the ladder while Bey braces it and Jeff attacks Bey so Ace falls forward and it’s goofy, but unique and not terrible, just goofy.
They thread the construction ladder through the normal A Frame ladder, Delete Face Smashes takes out Ace, Bey takes out Jeff, so half of each team head to the ladder, struggles back and forth, Superplex counter, Ace and Jeff grab chairs and walk across the construction ladder to hit the non-teammate and then duel with chairs on a ladder bridge. Headbutts, punches, Headbutt again and both Ace and Jeff crash to the construction ladders! The System is alive and attacking everyone with chairs. They clear out the ring of ladders and ABC, set up two tables and Stereo Side Effects from the System drive The Hardyz through the tables! ConChairto attempt from System, but Chris Bey lays out The System. 1-2-Sweet connects on Myers onto a chair! Eddie pancakes Ace and then Blue Thunder Bombs Bey! Ace starts climbing a ladder that is not positioned well, Eddie follows him just to attack him, thumb to the eyes, Eddie tries to figure out if he can grab the titles from the position but eats an ART OF FINESSE! Ace climbs the ladder and walks it closer to the titles, but Eddie and Myers cut off the shenanigans.
Bey grabs the where the belts are, they move the ladder away, Myers climbs the Ladder, Eddie swings Bey into Myers for EDGE OF MADNESS! Eddie climbs up, looks to have a shot, but Matt returns with a chair, Twist of Fate with a Chair around his neck! Roster Cut from Myers! Twist of Fate from Jeff! Myers powders, another Twist of Fate on the outside. Jeff grabs the big boy ladder, tries to use the chair to slide down the ladder, it looks weird but works well enough. Points for creativity. Myers is put on a table, Jeff Sabu’s a chair at him, climbs the big boy ladder, SWANTON BOMB through the table! Matt tries to climb the ladder, Ace cuts him off, Lish comes down to tip over the ladder! Lish then reveals her neck isn’t injured anymore! Matt returns to the ring and hits the Twist of Fate on Alisha! Eddie comes out with Kenny the Kendo stick and takes out Matt! The Hardyz won’t die! They Double Sabu the chairs Eddie, Tandem Powerbomb through the last remaining tables and Hardyz WIN!
Overall Score: 7/10
So this was a weird show. Three fantastic matches with X Division, Metal Mayhem and Knockouts, but the low points were hella low. Knockouts Tag needs to go away forever. PCO’s match was a PCO match, about as good as you can expect. World title was ruined, but I guess they wanted the Hardyz to be the big crowd pop and didn’t want to detract and save the Hendry pop for later. Can’t send the crowd home TOO happy, ya know? Hopefully the Moose and Santana angle is completely done, because it felt like a stretch when they started it and this was not a great match. So I don’t need anymore of this. Maclin however may have actually got himself over a little by being a stubborn Jersey boy just throwing himself at Josh while zip tied.
With all that said, 3 4+ snowflake matches is nothing to sneeze at, especially with possibly the best Knockouts match ever. But I’m still annoyed that the Kaz winning the Gauntlet was just a goofy tease that ended up not mattering or playing into the finish at all because JBL just decided his clotheslines were rated E for Everyone…except Nic Nemeth. The only fun thing about that is Hendry mention JBL, and Nemeth said he wouldn’t be a factor, so Nemeth lied.
Decent show all things considered, with some very blatant snack and piss breaks.
