Andrew’s Impact Wrestling Emergence Night 2 Results & Match Ratings 8.25.2020

Night 2 of Emergence! Main Evented by the first Knockouts Ironman Match! Also – #Heath4IMPACT

Published

on

Slammiversary was great, night 1 of Emergence was awesome; so we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment tonight, right?

Looking at what we know, the card is a little light. Eddie Edwards open challenge. Big Willie style against Most Professional Myers? Sure the Knockouts Iron Man Match sounds fantastic, but that’s only 3 matches for two hours.

Let’s see how they fill out the rest of the show, and maybe an impromptu match here or there.

Ratings:

  • Impact World Championship: Eddie Edwards (c) vs RVD w/Katie Forbes: Eddie retains via Boston Knee Party – *** ¼
  • Brian Myers vs Willie Mack: Myers wins via O’Conner Roll w/tights – *** ½
  • Knockouts Championship Ironman Match: Jordynne Grace vs Deonna Purrazzo (c): Purrazzo retains 2-1 – ****

 

Results:

Open challenge kicks off the second night! Rob Van Dam answers the call!

Impact World Championship: Eddie Edwards (c) vs RVD w/Katie Forbes

This match might be the most effort RVD has put into a match since returning to Impact. Eddie starts off hot, a few strikes and Dives rattle RVD, but Katie is there to provide…support? After RVD gets the upper hand, Katie wants a make out session, so that gives Eddie the opening to wipe out RVD.

Realizing her mistake, Katie starts jawing at and being a big distraction for Eddie. Which allows RVD to drape Eddie over the guardrail and hit that Spinning Guillotine Leg Drop as Eddie is over the rail. Now even without Rolling Thunder, we got most of the RVD classics. Split Legged Moonsault, Springboard Side Kick, and even Katie used her ASSets in a running hip attack when the referee wasn’t looking.

Things go a little longer, and RVD seems to be a little slow to his Five Star. Eddie dodges the Frog Splash and eats a Boston Knee Party.

Eric Young jumps him after the match, and declares next week is Edwards vs Young.

Shaga-Toga…I love how Alisha is steering further into the dumb Boston angle. And I need to start hitting people with the Fuji! Swingman reblinds a blind man and has a blindfold match with a clown horn. Dude…this is the best stuff. I am sports entertained.

Rhyno challenges Reno Scum to a tag match, and he wants his buddy Heath. #Heath4Impact

Eddie stomps through the building, comes back out to the ring and calls Eric Young out for right now! Eric Young gives a maniacal promo about being 5 steps ahead, and it’s still next week.

Locker Room Talk with Dez and Wentz as new co-hosts. Guests are Madman and Fulton. If he fits he sits…Dez leaves but Wentz stops him. There’s just great stupidity and tension with The Rascalz and two guys that have made Trey’s life hell. Fun moments, a nice offer from The Rascalz to Madison to visit the Treehouse.

Sami Callihan promo discusses how RVD lost because he was in his head. Then states he’ll be in the ring next week so RVD and Katie know where to find him.

EC3 reflective promo about his first TNA title win over Kurt Angle .Punctuated with him deciding he needs to destroy the championship. The embodiment of what he needs to overcome to FREEC3.

Brian Myers vs Willie Mack

Myers has come in looking damn good. It’s surprising what a little bit of time does to allow someone to look like they know how to wrestle.

This was surprisingly close, with Myers wanting to talk about things mid match, causing Mack to shut him up and continue talking crap as he beat on him. As Mack was talking, he attempted his Standing Moonsault, only to prove he may have been talking too much. Myers didn’t do anything really flashy, but nice strikes, a great overhead kick, and hints towards old finishers. We saw him go for an Elevated DDT but Willie fought it off and Myers hit the Elbow Drop, but Willie kicked out.

It started looking like Willie was getting the momentum, but push into the ropes, O’Connor Roll with a handful of tights, gives Myers his first AXS era IMPACT victory!

Hmm, interesting how Bravo finally man’s up and Taya adds a stipulation to the match. That winner takes all, including Bravo. So I’m curious if this is how Taya leaves Impact, since given timelines and Johnny Last Name being back in WWE…one had to figure it was only a matter of time. Hmmm…

Knockouts Championship Ironman Match: Jordynne Grace vs Deonna Purrazzo (c)

We get a well-paced slugfest. Both women do a good job at find spots to pick up the intensity to create hope spots and pushes for a first fall. Deonna starts working on the arms, to set up for her Fujiwara, and newly revealed name for the double Fujiwara that she calls the Venus de Milo. Jordynne however takes an interesting approach. She starts out by wrestling with Deonna, the “best technical female wrestler”, and frustrates Deonna for a while.

The interesting aspect here was that Jordynne seemed to be trying to prove something to Deonna. Jordynne focused more on wrestling and submissions, less on her power advantage. The first fall comes from Jordynne and the Rear Naked Choke she pulled out a few weeks ago. This leads to interesting angles in the match.

With only about five minutes left, Deonna is down 1-0. Deonna then drags the referee in the way of a splash, which sets up Deonna getting hit by the Grace Driver, but there’s no one to count. Deonna then recovers, gets her belt, hits Jordynne with it when she isn’t paying attention, and gets her pinfall to tie up the match.

Looking at only about 3 minutes to go, Deonna starts scrambling and searching for the arm. Jordynne counters a few attempts with pinfalls but as they show us the final fifteen seconds on the clock, Deonna hooks in the Venus de Milo and Jordynne submits with about four seconds left in the match.

 

Overall Score: 7/10

Now this episode was a tangible step down from night 1 of Emergence, but not bad. There was a lot more story segments, promos, vignettes and non-wrestling action in a row, that the show felt a little odd. While I love Wrestle House, Heath’s bid (which yes is a rehash of his SmackDown Free Agent bit, but it’s still good), and EC3’s angle is compelling tying together a relic of the past that was brought back out to patch up during covid times.

Then we had a great Knockouts Ironman match with a weird finish, but 98% great stuff. I love how Jordynne wrestled and Deonna took a heel shortcut, which aren’t the major character descriptors for them.

So yeah, I found the show entertaining, but 15-20 minutes of straight segment or talking promo is a little awkward. At least the wrestling we did get was solid, Myers gets the time in the ring to prove himself to people who don’t remember he can wrestle. It’s just an odd show man. I enjoyed it, but I don’t blame anyone for fast forwarding most portions.

Tony Khan speaks.

“Welcome to AEW Dynamite. I’m here live in Jacksonville, Florida, and I’ll be producing tonight’s show here in the offices of the Jaguars. I wish I could be live there in Winnipeg for Kenny Omega’s return in his hometown tonight at a perfect time. Unfortunately I’m not cleared to leave Jacksonville, Florida, due to the actions of AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, and the reinstated Jack Perry.” Something’s going wonky with Tony’s video as he explains the head and neck injuries suffered… And then The Bucks cut in to say they’re “losing” Tony. Technical difficulties. Sorry, TK, they lost connection.

But hey, Tony may not be here, but the Bucks are. And some of you may be asking, how is that cool after what they did last week? How are they not fired? Well, see, iron clad contracts, with a founder’s clause. They won’t get into the details, but let’s just say that they and their colleagues are not going anywhere. And in those same details, it says that if Tony Khan cannot physically be at an event, the EVPs would succeed him. In other words, The Bucks are in charge now! With that said, they’re going to run the new show open! It’s all Elite, as in all Bucks, all Jack and all Okada! They said they wanted to change the world, is that change just more of themselves?

 

Swerve Strickland is here!

Winnipeg cheers as Prince Nana leads the way for the AEW World Champion! Swerve takes the mic to say, “What’s going on, everybody? Three matches, three shows, in one week. That is the type of champion that All Elite Wrestling deserves, and that is the type of champion that Swerve said he was always gonna be.” The fans cheer that! Swerve says what AEW does not deserve are selfish, greedy, childish, power hungry EVPs that think they can just throw their weight around without any kind of consequences. Swerve stands on his words: What the Bucks did was a b*tch move. Now that’ll be handled at some point, but Swerve will get to business.

Who is going to be Swerve’s opponent for Double or Nothing? The fans ask “WHO? WHO? WHO?” and Swerve says he doesn’t know. Winnipeg doesn’t know. But whoever it is, come, present yourself. But wipe your feet before you step into whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then The Bucks interrupt on the tron. They tell the champ congrats. But guess who else are champs: The Bucks! And uh, they also wanted to stop by because something else has been bothering them. It seems that success has gone to Swerve’s head. The first time he talks after winning the big one, and he badmouths his bosses, the EVPs, on national television, and using curse words?

The network hated that, that is a fine. And maybe Swerve just needs a dose of humility. How do you do that? Well, how about The Bucks arrange the very best, the perfect opponent, for Swerve at Double or Nothing? This man happens to be one of the best Canadian pro-wrestlers of all time. He’s a former champion, and hasn’t been around. But he’s waiting at the go position, ready to meet Swerve! Hit the music in three, two, one. GO! It’s… Christian Cage?! The fans are a bit torn as they were hoping for a different Canadian star, but The Patriarch leads Mother Shayna, Nick Wayne & Killswitch/Luchasaurus to the ring.

Christian gets a mic as he goes up onto the apron. He steps inside, Shayna Wayne by his side, but Nick and Killswitchasaurus lurking outside. There are fans who cheer on Christian, and then he sucker punches Swerve with the mic!! Christian fires off hands and knocks Swerve down, and Nana can only cower in a corner! But Swerve gets up to fire back! And he DECKS Nick! And he BOOTS Killswitch! But then Shayna gets in Swerve’s face. Killswitchasaurus turns Swerve around to HEADBUTT him! And he CLOBBERS Nana! Christian snatches the world title, drags Swerve up, KILLSWITCH on the belt!!

The fans are again torn, but Christian then drags Nana up! He holds Nana in place so Nick can hit WAYNE’S WORLD! Christian then goes back to the mic, and he looms over Swerve to tell him, “There’s something you should know about me. I never forget. I haven’t forgotten that some months ago, you broke into my son, Nick Wayne’s gym and left him in a pool of his own blood. I haven’t forgotten- Keep it down while I’m conducting my business!” The fans boo but Christian says he didn’t forget that at one time, they were a tag team at the biggest show in the history of this business, and Swerve lost! Swerve embarrassed Christian!

Christian’s been waiting for the right moment to make him answer for those mistakes, and Swerve went and won the world championship. It seems like there’s no better time than right now to make Swerve pay for those mistakes. Christian will embarrass Swerve the same way Swerve embarrassed him. Christian will end Swerve’s reign before it even begins, and make him a footnote in the history of AEW! The fans boo more but Christian says he heard that speech last week, Swerve talking about his path to this title, how grueling it was and how he put every ounce of himself into it, to where his own daughter doesn’t even know him.

Christian tells Swerve that when he’s done with Swerve, Swerve’s daughter won’t want to know him! But Christian will promise Swerve this: Swerve’s daughter will have a father she can be proud of for the rest of her life! Christian tells Winnipeg that the same way the Colorado Avalanche walked into their house and took their championship dreams away, Christian will walk into Swerve’s House at Double or Nothing and rip this AEW World Championship from his hands. But Swerve, know this: “The pain has just begun.” And with that, Luchasaurus PULLS Swerve’s hair out of his head! Luchasaurus shows off the braid, will that only be the first trophy The Patriarchy takes?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Adam “Edge” Copeland VS ??? w/ The House of Black!

After defeating The Rated R Superstar, as well as Mark Briscoe & Eddie Kingston, at Dynasty, the House of Black has answered the call of the #CopeOpen. However, they’re going to keep us guessing until the very moment it’s time to fight! Malakai Black speaks from the shadows that everyone expected him to come out here, all the bells and whistles. But why should Malakai fight Edge now, when watching what he did to Edge infiltrating Edge’s mind is so much more rewarding? Malakai laughs, but then who is coming for the gold? It’s the Aussie Juggernaut, Buddy Matthews! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the House Always Wins!
