Tomorrow is a stupid late starting show but at least it’s not bleeding into a normal weekday. Not sure if I’ll cover it because the build has been bad, the shows have been bad and forcing me to be awake longer for a B show that very much may suck. Maybe tonight won’t be a miserable useless Go Home like they usually do. Could make things interesting…but I don’t have much faith anymore.

TNA is living off the brand and the fact fans genuinely want other things to flourish. But it’s not building off any good wrestling or story telling. So let’s see if something stops sucking.

.@_Iam_Elijah_ has one final message for TNA World Champion @_trickwilliams before they collide for the Championship at #TNAAgainstAllOdds!

Results:

Indi Hartwell vs Tasha Steelz

Tasha attacks Indi as the bell sounds, Forearms and Chops into Stomping a Mudhole in the corner and taunting the crowd. Indi turns the Irish Whip around and goes for her own chops Aussie Uppercut, Scoop Slam gets countered and Tasha hits a Headbutt, Indi stops her , throws her into the ropes another uppercut, Tasha powders, Indi wants a PK, Tasha blocks and throws Indi onto her face and starts stringing some short offense in. Triplicate Elbows into a near fall, Indi starts fighting back with forearms before she crashes and burns as Tasha kicks her knee out from under her. Tasha with the corner offense combo into the Sliced Bread for yet another 2.

The action is a little too slow for an opening match, not sure when this was filmed in in the grand scheme of things, but the crowd is kinda dead and this is sluggish. Even Indi’s resilient kick outs at 1 have no intensity and the crowd is asleep. After a few corner shots Indi finally starts a comeback, Uranage into Spinebuster for two. But this is really…too damn slow. Skyler is yelling at Hotch on the outside to hit Indi, he won’t Tasha argues too and Indi with the Big Boot into the Hurtz Don’t It.

After the match Ali comes out with his hair down looking like sexy mad 50 Shades Dom. Tasha is cowering, Ref and Tasha get attacked. Hotch stands up to Ali, and Ali just grins and they stare down. Maybe they’ll finally do something with Hotch. He’s talented, has a good look and Great Hands have been holding him back. Even though Hotch stood up for Tasha, she cowers out to walk up the ramp with Ali. Hotch is left alone in the ring.

Eric Young w/Losers vs Moose w/JDC

Armoury come out looking like Ciclope but somehow worse. I already hate this.

EY attacks at the bell sound cause of course, EY 10 count punches, Moose Manhattan Drop but EY stops him, EY Tree of Woe into the Petey Williams crotch stomp Oh Canada spot. JDC inadvertently distracts the ref, losers also distract…they get up to the refrain of Oh Canada, that might be the longest that spot happened ever. But Moose immediately hits a Go To Hell because pacing and psychology don’t exist in wrestling anymore. Everything this episode seems slow and the crowd sounds dead. Moose clocks EY trying to dive and Apron Uranage into Jacknife on the steps.

Moose is milking the 10 count, EY barely beats it…Body Drops Moose because again…psychology oh and EY hits a Dive cause that’s exactly what happens when you barely beat a 10 count. Reverse Irish in the ring, EY Flair Flip in the corner, Moose tries to cut off but gets pushed, Crossbody and Moose jumps into it far too obvious, Chop Spot, EY hits the ropes, Moose hits a Pump Kick into Escalara Crossbody and Kip Up, EY pulls off a Spicolli Driver for 2. This whole match just feels like moves for the sake of stuff having to happen. This is about as engaging as wet farting the alphabet.

Backslide 2, Pump Kick from Moose, Discus Lariat from EY, EY wants Piledriver, hits it but JDC puts Moose’s foot on the rope. Nerd squad attacks JDC and they still look pathetic, Moose Low Blow since ref is distracted, Lights Out, Moose retains.

Heather & M by Elegance w/Personal Concierge vs Harley Hudson & Myla Grace

Harley and M start, Wristlock Takeover from Harley, a few nice chain wrestling spots, Myla tags in, Myla split ducks the kick, nice little kick combo punctuated with a Dropkick. Tandem Arm Wringer Sweep for two. M getting rocked, Heather slows down Harley so M finally takes the advantage and starts driving knees into Harley, Surf Board Stretch and Stomp combo by Heather. Heather keeps on her for a few punches and tags M back in for the old Knee in the Shoulder Blades stretch. Jaw Jacker from Harley, M stops it, but they struggle and Harley hits the Shoulder Tackles as Harley hunts for the tag, kicks off M and simultaneous tags happen. Myla beats down Heather, corner Leg Sweep, Dropkick Face Wash with a cute pose from Myla, M breaks up the pin, Harley and M fight on the outside, Myla looks for something but Concierge distracts, M with a Carbon Footprint to Myla’s backside as she’s setting up a move, Heather drops Myla, Heather his the Elegant Moonsault and Elegance wins!

Monster’s Ball Match: Rosemary vs Xia Brookside

I walked away at some point since this show has been pretty bad and I have no faith here. When I finally started paying attention, Xia hits Rosemary with a cookie sheet, she goes for the belt but Rosemary turns it around and takes Xia to the dungeon to whip her a few times. Rosemary unloads the trash can, puts the can in the corner, throws Xia into and Rosemary is standing tall into the commercial break. We come back and Rosemary is still just arguing with a ref, the crowd chants “Hockey Stick” so that proves it’s Canada. Xia tries to fight back, Rosemary with a very slow Side Slam on the trash can because she had to reposition it. Xia grabs the Hockey Stick for the pop, she breaks it over Rosemary, the peasants rejoice, Rosemary into the steps, Broken Wings into the trash can and Rosemary instantly gets up with a door. Why are all the matches so awful on psychology? Do we not sell anymore? Did I miss a memo? Were there TPS reports?

Xia drives Rosemary’s face into the steps. Suplex into the center of the ring, Door in the corner, time to see what’s behind Door Number 1. Suplex counter stand off through the door, Rosemary counters away from the door though. So more Chekov’s Gun fun. Rosemary misses with the belt, but then pulls off Upside Down choking her with the belt. Rosemary releases and Xia has the belt but Rosemary is collecting chairs and a staple gun. Belt whips block the staple attack, Xia finds a bag of Hockey pucks, empties them but Rosemary staples Xia’s stomach and charges into a Samoan Drop onto the pucks. Near fall, Xia starts grinding the puck into Rosemary’s face, more Cookie Sheet, another near fall. Xia wants a DDT and hits it on the chair, only 2 again. Arts and crafts with chairs spot, Xia hits her with the trash can lid, but Rosemary sits up and Spears Xia through the door.

Only a 2 count after the clear the rubble. Rosemary puts Xia on the chairs and looks to the top rope, Xia rises up and Brooksie Bomb through the chairs after she uses the lid to block the mist. 1-2-3.

Better match than it had any business being, but still enough sins to make it ok and nothing special.

The Kaiba Boys & Frankie Kazarian vs Leon Slater, Matt Hardy & Mike Santana

By the time everyone gets in the ring it’s 9:57 eastern…is this gonna be a 3 minute match? Matt starts with Kaz, Leon comes in quick, Poetry on Ryan, Kaz gets rocked, Leon tags back out to Matt…Extreme Elbow. Arm Wringer, Nic cheap shot and trip on Matt, Kaz with the Springboard Guillotine, Kaz rocks Matt, Nic tags in…Nice distracts ref and Ryan hits a cheap choke. Nic chokes Matt in the corner, claws at his face, Weaver Lock and Matt is fading. Matt Jaw Breaker tags out to Charisma Vacuum Slater, Feint kick misses Nic, hits Ryan, the Kaibas try to keep tandem but Lethal Injection from Slater makes em both powder, Plancha, Ryan tries to stop Leon, Nic looks for Danger Zone and gets it shrugged off and turned into a Blue Thunder Bomb. Frankie breaks the pin and posts Leon, Nic tunes up the band but eats the Leg Lariat. Simultaneous tag, Santana and Ryan are legal, Santana kills everyone, Double Rolling Buck Fifty but Ryan kicks out and gets in some strikes, tries to Leap Frog but eats a Death Valley Driver for only 2. Signature spams, Slater looks to finish Kaz, but Ryan crotches him, Victory roll no, Buck Fifty no, Cradle from Ryan is only a two, Rope runs and Ryan eats a Spin the Block for the win.

Overall Score: 5/10

Main even was like 7 minutes, the best match was the Monster’s Ball and I’m surprised to say that. Elijah’s promo was a Good Thing though, Santino had a solid promo, Hotch’s potential babyface turn is nice because I like him, he needs to get away from Skyler. Rascalz promo was well done as well. Masha can’t talk so I hope she loses the title tomorrow. I’d rather Lei look mean and sexy and yell at us in Mandarin than ever hear Masha speak English again.

Dani Luna showing she’s recovered from the concussion and sticking around in solo action was nice, Maggie Lee looked great in her match, Harley and Myla looked decent in the loss. Northern Armoury are still useless though. Only real complaint is not enough KC Navarro. He was only in the NXT clip. We need to be Blessed every episode.

You had to dig through the bad wrestling for decent story elements, but this was eventually more enjoyable than many of the recent episodes.

Well Trick Willie is the new TNA champ and this is the first iMPACT since his win…so let’s just hear him talk about it.

Results:

The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System

Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb. 

Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.

KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.

AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.

Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali

Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.

Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.

Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.

This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”. 

ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee

ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.

Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!

Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber

Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.

.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa

Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.

Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.

International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona

A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.

Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!

Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!

Overall Score: 4.5/10

Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?

Go home TNA, you’re drunk.
