Andrew’s IMPACT Over Drive Results & Match Ratings: 11.18.2022

Andrew Balaz

Tonight’s card has the potential to be something special. The only match I’m conflicted about is the Last Knockout Standing match since that seems like the only one that can go either way. I’m also very firmly on Team Kaz, but I’m aware he’ll probably lose. Plus Trey is most likely winning since they invest a lot of screen time on him even though he sucks, and I guess they have to push someone…and they never want it to be Taurus for some reason. So match predictions:

Tables Match: Bully Ray wins because he needs to keep up the “is he a scum bag or not” gimmick for the main event
Knockouts Tags: Death Dollz need to win because I’m just over the Tasha and Savannah pairing.
Last Rodeo: Mickie wins because they won’t have Taylor Wilde retire her.
X Division: Trey will win because Scott D’Amore loves to annoy me.
Tag Titles: Heath & Rhino will retain because its a good story and the fans still dig them.
Last Knockouts Standing: Masha wins just to shake up the division since they’re starting to have the same issue they had with Deonna and Taya’s extended reigns where most of the credible threats have lost.
World Championship: My heart says Kaz, but my head says Josh…so I’m gonna go with Kaz purely for TNA loyalty.

Ratings:

Tables Match: Bully Ray vs Moose: Bully wins via Spear through Table – ** 3/4
Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Death Dollz (Taya & JesSICKa w/Rosemary) vs Tasha Steelz & Savannah Evans: Dollz retain via SICKISHI Driver – **
Last Rodeo: Mickie James vs Taylor Wilde: Mickie wins via Mick-DT – *** 1/2
World Tag Team Championship: Heath & Rhino (c) vs The Major Players (Matt Cardona & Brian Myers): Rhino retains via Gore – **
X Division Tournament Finals for Vacant Championship: Black Taurus vs Trey Miguel: Trey wins via Lightning Spiral – ** 3/4 – TITLE CHANGE!!
Last Knockout Standing: Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich vs Jordynne Grace (c): Grace wins via Muscle Buster through a Door – **** 1/2
Impact World Heavyweight Championship: Josh Alexander (c) vs Frankie Kazarian: Josh wins via C4 Spike – ****

Results:

Tables Match: Bully Ray vs Moose

After a little stare down and jawing, Moose starts the same way he ended IMPACT yesterday with a Low Blow, into a Lights Out…then Moose powders to brag and grab a few tables. Bully stops Moose from ending the match immediately, they brawl to the outside, Moose tries to put Bully through the time keeper’s table, but Bully counters. So a little standing Wazzup from Bully and a get the tables moment pops the crowd before Moose is the one to put the brakes on Bully.

Moose counters an attempted Uranage through a table with a big Bicycle Kick. Bully’s rocked, gets into the corner, Go To Hell is attempted but Bully blocks so Moose hits the Okada Drop Kick and tries an Avalanche Move, but Bully counters with an Avalanche Sitout Powerbomb. They both get to one knee and start throwing bombs.

Rolling Elbow attempt from Moose, Bully Bomb counter, but Moose counters, runs up the corner, Moonsault but Bully catches him with the Cutter. Bully charges, Moose dodges and Bully goes through the table. Moose thinks he won but the referee has to explain that opponents need to be put through tables, not just go through them. Solid enough moment to get across Moose’s inexperience in the style of match.

Moose sets up another table, Irish Whip attempt, Moose stops his momentum but Bully follows with a Spear and Moose goes through the table.

Bully winning basically because of veteran experience makes sense and also helps his “turned over a new leaf” concept that he’s trying to get across. Serviceable enough opening match.

Knockouts Tag Team Titles: Death Dollz (Taya & JesSICKa w/Rosemary) vs Tasha Steelz & Savannah Evans

JesSICKa is an amusing enough gimmick and it keeps Rosemary a little fresh, so I’m hoping the champs retain. I like Tasha’s charisma and gimmick, but watching her wrestle should be a military method of torture. I’m just waiting for Savannah to turn on Tasha.

Tasha gets eaten alive by Taya, so Death Dollz tag and do a little assisted fun before JesSICKa throws Tasha into her corner wanting Savannah. There are some questionable exchanges during this Hosette fight, Jess gets the advantage, Taya gets tagged in and we see a tandem move where they do a Tandem Hip Attack onto the downed opponent’s head. So for all of the booty enthusiasts around the world, the move should be called a Concussion in Heaven.

The heels do end up isolating Taya for a bit, Jess takes the hot tag with her Dusty Rhodes influenced offense. Knocks them both on their asses and hits a Low Crossbody on both women for a near fall. SICKISHI Driver and the Death Dollz retain.

Good now have Savannah turn on Tasha and we’re good.

Last Rodeo: Mickie James vs Taylor Wilde

Collar and Elbow tie up, but neither relents, they take one another down, roll and get back up, not letting go for a bit and then Taylor finally manages an Arm Wringer, but Mickie fights through into a Top Wrist lock, Hammerlock counter, another Wrist Lock, this is an old school chain wrestling start and its been cool to see Mickie proving her wrestling ability over the last year or so. The float overs, cartwheel overs, its very World of Sport to begin with and its not what I was expecting, in a good way.

They hit a stalemate punctuated with dueling dropkicks and show their appreciation for one another as we now know things will start to pick up a little. Both trade Headscissor counters, then go into a few forearms being traded as well. Mickie breaks some of Taylor’s offense by throwing her out through the ropes. Mickie tries to open the ropes for her to get back in, but Taylor takes it as an insult, so Taylor grabs her and starts throwing her back first into the apron.

Taylor stays on the offensive, Package Vertical Suplex into the Liger style Surfboard Stretch. Taylor has to break it since it’s also a pinfall, then Mickie lands a few moves before Taylor counters. Keeping her down Taylor even throws in a Flashing Elbow. I wasn’t expecting World of Sport followed by a few classic Puro legends moments as well. Speaking of Puro, fighting spirit time and the ladies are getting more and more aggressive. Taylor has the advantage, whips her to the ropes, Thesz Press to give Mickie some life!

Mick-DT attempt, countered, Death Valley, nope Mickie slips but Taylor drops into a Double Legged Cradle, a little Cradle Locomotion before they get up, Mickie catches Taylor with the Flapjack and heads for the Avalanche Thesz Press – but Taylor cuts her off. Hard strikes and a kick to the face give Taylor all the advantage. Mickie counters the Superplex, tries the Avalanche Thesz and missed, single leg Dropkick, Wilde Ride for 2 – as Taylor rolls right into the Camel Clutch.

Mickie counters, there’s a few questionable attempts, Mick Kick gets blocked, more counters, but Mickie grabs her and Mick-DT!

Deonna’s music hits after the match and comes out with a mission. After Chelsea packed her bags and went home, her best friend obviously has revenge on her mind. Deonna declares her place in the Rodeo, but no time is set.

World Tag Team Championship: Heath & Rhino (c) vs The Major Players (Matt Cardona & Brian Myers)

Major Players have early control and there’s not a lot to mention until Heath and Rhino decide to introduce the Players to the 69 Special (Myers fell into a Tree of Woe, Cardona gets his feet grabbed and pulled towards the post/Myers face). If you’ve got a better name for that, have fun, but the match is just very basic aside from that one comedy spot.

Heath is getting isolated and worked over for a long time, until Myers puts the boot on the top buckle, Cardona tries to throw him in but Heath counters. Potential tag for Rhino, but Myers gets a tag and cuts him off. A small flash of a Roll-Up from Heath since Myers is being cocky, but Heath isn’t hitting any real offense, just opportunistic spots. Finally a few dodges and a Flapjack give a hope spot for a tag, but Cardona rips Rhino off the apron, so still no tag.

MCMG walks out with chairs since The Major Players invited them earlier in the show after MCMG beat the BC Juniors for number 1 contender. The Guns little moments talking are more engaging the the formulaic WWE style of tag match. Cardona tells the Guns to watch this, Reboot attempt, but Heath drops him out of the ring. Simultaneous tags but Rhino is fresher and definitely the hot tag. Myers gets thrown around until Cardona distracts and Myers hits a Flatliner to slow down Rhino.

Tandem Edgecution, Cardona tries to grab one of the Guns chairs, but Sabin snatches it back. The Players get annoyed and distracted, so Myers falls prey to a GORE.

X Division Tournament Finals for Vacant Championship: Black Taurus vs Trey Miguel

We see a lot of typical Trey garbage and somehow it makes Black Taurus’ moments look worse too. Trey over sells with ridiculous facials, Taurus hits a huge Avalanche Gorilla Press and goes for a pin instead of securing things with a finisher, and its at that point that I stopped caring.

Trey kicks out, fires up, hits a lame step over DragonRana onto the outside. Then Taurus tries to send him back in, Tiger Feint counter, Taurus catches him in a Powerbomb position and instead of bouncing his head off the apron first, he just takes too much time to Bomb him into the post.

Meteora doesn’t finish the match for Trey, but here we see what the announcers were alluding to with pointing out “Spider-Trey” was using more Venom and Carnage inspired colors, since he pulls out a spray paint can, tosses the cap which distracts the ref like a dog chasing a ball (which looks moronic) and he sprays Taurus’ face, hits Lightning Spiral and wins via heel turn that no one cares about because Trey is straight garbage.

Last Knockout Standing: Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich vs Jordynne Grace (c)

Masha heads to get weapons early, but Jodrynne counters the chairshot attempt, starts working over Masha’s leg, delayed Suplex onto the floor. Jordynne tries for a Piledriver, but Masha blocks and locks in a Stretch Muffler, also deciding that working on legs in a match where you have to stand, is a good strategy. Masha drives Jordynne into the ring post and starts to light her up 3 Ninjas style with kicks.

An attempts Sambo style Knee Strike is dodged by Jordynne and Masha is down for a few clutching her knee. Much of the offense is slow and deliberate from both women, but strikes seem stiff and to be working the story in nicely. Jordynne gets fired up, snap Suplex into the ropes has Masha’s leg bounce and wrap around the ropes causing more issues. Jordynne is stalking Masha and really focusing hard on the left knee.

As Masha drags herself up Jordynne fills the ring with chairs and Dragon Screws Masha back down to the mat right as she gets up. Masha has been eating a lot of offense but finally manages a few strikes, a belaored high kick, goes for an Air Raid Crash but can’t hold it and Jordynne takes a pot shot at the left knee. Some struggling, and Jordynne muscles Masha through, lifts her up and slams her through two upright chairs but Masha barely beats the count. Jordyne rips off a cross bar from the broken chair and hits the injured knee of Masha before setting up more chair oriented fun.

Knee Breaker attempt but Masha is staying defiant. Short arm wrist control takes Jordynne by surprise and Air Raid Crash into a different chair, but Masha finally has a real opening. Sole Butt from Masha, Snap Suplex and then Masha heads to the outside for a trash can of more toys and finds a mailbox under the ring. Back and forth strikes, as Masha is definitely worse for wear, but Jordynne is finally showing moments of damage until she fires and Vader Hammers Masha into tomorrow. Kudo Driver from Jordynne into a Trash Can.

Masha barely manages to get back to her feet, Jordynne throws her into the corner, works her over and tries for the Muscle Buster. Masha fights out but Jordynne comes back with a vengeance. Moscow Sunrise from Masha and Jordynne is rocked. Masha tries to kick her while she’s down but Jordynne catches the kick, fires up and starts beating on Masha. Figure Four from Jordynne just to weaken the knee. But Masha turns it around and we get that classic turn around the Figure Four spot until they roll out to apron since there are no rope breaks. Masha slips off the apron first and Jordynne grabs the rope to apply more pressure before Masha finds her way out and the count almost works but Masha stands up at 9.

Grace Driver attempt, but Masha drives her into the apron a few times, Reverse Piledriver from Masha as both women are down. Masha finds a door under the ring next and props it on a trash can for some intended spot. Now we also find a toilet seat. Masha chokes and drags Jordynne with the toilet seat, and wants to steal the Grace Driver and put Jordynne through the door, but Jordynne counters. Muscle Buster from the steps, through the door. Masha can’t get back up and Jordynne retains!

Impact World Heavyweight Championship: Josh Alexander (c) vs Frankie Kazarian

A small delay and then Frankie charges, collar and elbow until they fall out of the ring and then both rush back in. Josh tries to wrestle Kaz down, but Kaz actually gets the best of some Headlock positions. Josh tries for an Ankle Lock, but Kaz finds an interesting way to counter it back into a Chicken Wing causing Josh to find the ropes.

Both Josh and Frankie take different arm submissions against one another. Josh aims for a Top Wristlock and Kaz had a Key Lock working for a bit until Josh fires up and rocks Kaz with a kick and a few back elbows from the non-worked over arm. After starting frenetic, both men have slowed down the pace with a few strikes, deliberate submissions and Back Breakers. Josh catches the attempted Up and Over from Kaz into the Angle influenced locomotion German Suplexes.

Kaz eats two, tosses Josh out, Josh tries to get back in and falls victim to the Guillotine Leg Drop. Diving Headscissors into a Lariat from Kaz has Josh reeling while the crowd gets hype for The Coolness. Slingshot Leg Drop from Frankie for 2. The crowd sounds to be more in Kaz’s corner, which I mean…I kind of am too. Kaz softens up Josh with a few punches and then a Fisherman’s Suplex Hold for 2.

Back and forths with Kaz keeping most of the control, Josh tries to charge and Kaz uses the Overhead Release Belly to Belly into the corner. Josh is trying to keep him at bay with chops but Kaz refuses to stop. C4 Spike out of nowhere attempt, Kaz blocks, Josh doesn’t let go and Butterfly Suplex. Kaz tries to run Josh into the ropes for a Suplex or Roll, but Josh shakes it off, pushes Kaz into the ropes and goes for the Hat Trick Germans, and decides to add on making it a 10 spot of German Suplexes.

Josh composes himself after the adrenaline rush, tries the C4, Kaz blocks, then fires for a Chicken Wing as Josh grabs the ropes. Kaz goes for the Flying Forearm, Josh ducks and the ref gets knocked down. Josh tries to charge, Kaz dodges, Slingshot DDT onto the apron, and it looks rough. Kaz goes for the title belt as Josh’s wife and son are right there, Kaz seems conflicted, and puts the belt down. Chicken Wing attempt gets the Ankle Lock counter, but rams into the corner, submissions attempts, back and forth strikes, Kaz lands a Rolling Forearm and then a Tomikaze for the near fall!

A few near misses, Josh rocks Kaz and hits the Torture Rack Bomb for 2. Victory Roll from Josh, 1-2- CHICKEN WING COUNTER! The crowd is chanting “tap”. Josh manages to pry the fingers apart, rolls into an the Ankle Lock and Kaz gets to the ropes. T-Bone Suplex from Josh out of frustration. Josh goes for a Superplex, Kaz tries to slip it, but it gets sloppy and just looks dumb. They don’t miss too much of a beat, Kaz hits Back to the Future for 2, Josh tries a Styles Clash also for two, Headscissors attempt but Josh counters it with the Okada style turning Piledriver also for 2.

Kaz powders, Josh follows, and Josh tries to drag him in, but Kaz clings onto the bottom rope to recover. Josh throws him in eventually and needs a second to collect himself, Kaz slingshots him and hits the cutter for another near fall. Kaz keeps hitting shots knocking out Josh’s mouth guard, knocking off his headgear, but Kaz rolls forward with the ankle pick and puts on his own Ankle Lock. Josh manages to counter and lock in his own Ankle Lock. Kaz barely makes it to the rope, but it looks almost as good as over.

Last ditch fire for Kaz, Sole Butt, combination attack, Styles Clash for 2! Kaz sets up for the Flux Capcitor…but Josh fights and tries to counter but Kaz fights it off and tosses off Josh. Diving Guillotine Leg Drop from Kaz for 2, into the Chicken Wing immediately. Josh fights it off, even turns it into a pin but Kaz doesn’t break it. Josh has to counter it again and we get a few counters left and right before Kaz’s Shotgun Dropkick sends Josh into the corner. A bunch of counters and Josh bridges up to stop a few cradle attempts and Josh finally hits the C4 Spike to retain.

Zip tying Josh and grabbing his wife from the crowd after saying “Why would you ever trust me” is profound and old school since Babyfaces are usually kinda dumb. Josh breaks the zip tie so Bully improvises and it’s actually really good work telling Josh to not move of he’ll Piledriver her on the concrete and to hand him the title. It’s actually…beautiful heel work. The way he keeps Josh still by threatening his wife, and getting over the fact Josh is the babyface since he makes sure that everyone knows Josh’s actions are to protect his wife cause he loves his wife.

Overall Score: 7.5/10

The highs were super high, but there was a lot of mediocre to lame stuff as well. Plus, for as good as the main event was, too many mistakes really took away from things. Jordynne and Masha really stole the night. Bully setting his date for Hard to Kill, calling his shot and shaking hands…just to blindside Josh a few minutes later proves to us who he is. Technically Bully did what he said, with looking him in the eyes, shaking his hand and telling him like a man.

I was not a fan of Bully coming back, and how he’s been acting…but holy shit that final segment was great. Even though there are only 3 matches worth watching (Last Rodeo, Last Knockout Standing and World Championship), that final segment made everything better. I really wanted to have a few smarmy things to say since this wasn’t a fantastic show…but damn Bully Ray has me grinning from ear to ear with how well he worked heel in that segment. Trey still sucks, I don’t care if he turned heel, I have more dislike for him than I did young Will Ospreay. Trey is everything wrong with the current generation of wrestling embodied in one person.

STILL THAT ENDING SEGMENT THO! Decent show made better with how it signed off. Damn…damn, damn. And I guess 5-2…even though I wasn’t really expecting Kaz to win, isn’t a terrible guessing record either.

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

Andrew Balaz

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.

.@Kelly_WP is back in TNA Wrestling and has a message for TNA Knockouts World Champion @mashaslamovich!

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:

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?

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.
