Andrew’s TNA IMPACT! Episode 1 Results & Match Ratings: 6.4.2004

IMPACT! 1000 is later tonight, so lets stir up some hype with IMPACT! number 1!!

Published

on

With the 1000th’s episode airing later tonight, I figured a fun way to hype things up could be hoping in the time machine to the first IMPACT! episode. The Impact Wrestling YouTube channel uploaded it in its entirety a few days ago, and it seems like the perfect springboard for a momentous occasion!

People have been decrying that TNA/Impact will die in no time. Well 19 years of IMPACT! and 21 years of TNA seem to have proven most of the detractors wrong. Were there dark times? Sure. Are their Claire Lynch storylines that I wish were fever dreams? Extra yes! But lets enjoy the throwback episode for the Little Engine That Could, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling!

Ratings:

  • Team Canada (Bobby Roode, Petey Williams & Eric Young w/Coach D’Amore) vs Amazing Red, Sonjay Dutt & Hector Garza: Hector Garza wins via Tornillo – ***
  • Shark Boy vs Abyss: Abyss wins via Blackhole Slam – N/A
  • NWA Tag Team Championship: America’s Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) vs Kid Kash & Dallas (c):  Wildcat wins via School Boy – *** – TITLE CHANGE!!!
  • X Division #1 Contender: Chris Sabin vs Michael Shane vs Elix Skipper vs AJ Styles: Styles wins via Styles Clash – *** 1/4

 

Results:

Team Canada (Bobby Roode, Petey Williams & Eric Young w/Coach D’Amore) vs Amazing Red, Sonjay Dutt & Hector Garza

Ahh the six sided ring is nice to see again, and the international team Dives right on Team Canada and starts things off fast and sexy. EY and Sonjay get in the ring, Spinning Headscissors from Sonjay gives the time for Sonjay to tag in Red; and we see a little tandem work. Team Canada mobs Red though and helps EY tag out to Bobby, and Roode showing all those classic Triple H moves that we loved him for. Roode tags to Petey for an Electric Chair Bulldog combination, and a 2 count.

Petey places Red on the ropes, goads the babyface international squad and Coach D’Amore takes a cheap shot. Garza gets annoyed at all of the heel stuff and forces himself in to break up the pinfall. Red finally counters EY and Red, hot tag to Hector Garza, he takes out Petey and EY, but Bobby stops him with a Sitout Powerbomb. Sonjay takes out Bobby, EY with the Wheelbarrow Suplex to lay out Sonjay, Code Red from Amazing Red on EY and then a Canadian Destroyer from Petey! The signature spam leads to a big avalanche Frankensteiner from Sonjay into a Tornillo from Hector Garza for the win!

Classic TNA flashback to Toby Keith getting his revenge on Jeff Jarrett. 

Shark Boy vs Abyss

Ahh Greg Demarco’s favorite wrestler, Abyss. I have missed his twisted circus music though.

Abyss goozles Shark Boy immediately, but he bites the hand, tries to use his speed to rock Abyss…but then he pulls a stupid. Shark Boy goes for the Crossbody, Abyss catches him, eats him, Shock Therapy attempt but catches him in a Blackhole Slam and Abyss wins easily.

Popeye consoles Shark Boy, because remember they film in Orlando. 

NWA Tag Team Championship: America’s Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) vs Kid Kash & Dallas (c)

For anyone who doesn’t know, Dallas thinks EVERYBODY DIES! Always fun to see old school Lance Archer gimmicks. And its very weird to see James Storm win no beard.

Tennessee Cowboy and Kid Kash start, a stall into rope run and then Storm catches Kash with the Monkey Flip. Chris Harris tags in, a little tandem corner moves into a Space Jam, and Dallas has to break up the pin. Kash finally grabs the ropes to slow down Storm, Storm charges, Stun Gun and Dallas gets tagged in; tandem action and a 2 count.

Commercial break and Tenay said the “keep the tape machines rolling” line, so I popped for dumb reasons. Kash is legal and working over the Cowboy. Kash and Dallas go for a tandem move where Dallas is perched, Kash climbs Dallas and goes for a Sky High Moonsault, but misses! Tags happen and Wildcat throwing haymakers and his body at the big man, keeping the offense rolling. Kash breaks up the pin, signature spam moment. Blackout/Frog Splash tandem on Roode but the Wildcat hits a Spear from out of frame on Kash to stop a pinfall. Dallas gets crotched then rolled up by Harris…AMW wins!

The American Dream daddy, is introduced as the special judge! For clarification, because they did time limits on Fox Sports Net, anything that went to time would be voted on by Judges like a boxing match. Dream gets cut off by the King of Mountain, Jeff Jarrett! My World is still one of the best wrestling themes, period. Dusty gets an “elbow” chant from the fans. The drawing power of dream is relevant in Florida even in 2004. 

Jarrett runs down Dusty as a has been, asks him if he needs money, and its decent heel work. Jeff equates it to High Noon, takes 5 paces in the Jackie Fargo strut style that Dusty shadows in a mock way, then paintbrushes Jarrett with his cowboy hat when Jarrett turns. Ron “The Truth” Killings makes the save for Dusty when Jarrett turns it around and the rest of the 3 Live Kru (Konnan and BG James) shows up to run Jarrett up the ramp.

Chris Sabin vs Michael Shane vs Elix Skipper vs AJ Styles

YOU ARE, YOU ARE, I AM, I AM! 

A few early strikes, early high spot is Skipper flying over Sabin and Shane to grab AJ before Sabin and Skipper wipe each other out. Shane tries to get something rolling but the classic Styles Dropkick into the I AM pose pops the crowd hard. Skipper and Sabin land a few shots, Sabin Crossbody into a pin, but Skipper Matrix escape and kicks Sabin in the teeth. Shane connects on the Wheelbarrow Suplex making him look like King of the Hill.

AJ picks the foot and drags Shane out but Shane reverses the Vertical Suplex. Elix hits the snap STO on the inside but Shane breaks it up, Implant DDT from Shane, broken up by AJ. Ins, outs, Springboards, PHENOMENON from AJ for 2 because Sabin breaks it up. Springboard Tornado DDT from Sabin but AJ kicks out. Tiger Wall Kick from Sabin on Elix, Low Dropkick and then Shane lays out Sabin with a Butterfly Suplex. Shane goes to the top, AJ crotches him, Elix walks the ropes and Frankensteiner to the outside where both crash and are out for a while. AJ ole’s Sabin so he crashes in Elix, FOSBURY FLOP from AJ!

Sabin and Shane are inside somehow, Sabin gets posted, AJ springboards in with the sunset on Shane, rolls it into the Styles Clash and wins! Number 1 contender, AJ Styles.

X Division champion Frankie Kazarian comes down to talk smack with AJ as the show fades out.

Overall Score: 8/10

Given the fact it was their first chance at a larger audience than just the Weekly PPV gimmick, this had everything. Fast action, old names that people could sink their teeth into (Shane Douglas, Dusty Rhodes, Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett, Hector Garza, Mike Tenay, Kid Kash) and the younger wrestlers looked interesting. Sure there wasn’t any real personality work, but when Fox Sports Net only gave them an hour, I think they threw enough at the fans to entice a few back.

Also in retrospect its fun to see some of the names that are still active, still in TNA/Impact and even some no longer around. Hearing Don West and Mike Tenay again was really refreshing. Never understood the hate on Don West’s style, and I’m very happy that Tenay and West are getting recognized in this year’s Impact Hall of Fame.

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring.

He welcomes us to Manchester, New Hampshire, and says let’s start tonight by bringing in The Hurt Syndicate! The fans fire up as Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley all make their way to the ring. They are all dressed to kill in those suits and ties as they join Schiavone in the ring. The fans cheer for MVP, and MVP has Schiavone hold on, “Don’t be rude.” MVP lets the fans chant for him a little more, and then he has a mic of his own. While he appreciates the introductions from Schiavone, he clearly doesn’t need one. The fans cheer, and MVP excuses Schiavone.

MVP then says, “Attention AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate.” The fans cheer as MVP introduces himself, and he is joined tonight by his business partners, his colleagues, his brothers in arms! First, The Standard of Excellence, Mr. Shelton Benjamin. A multi-time NCAA All American, one of the most decorated pro-wrestlers in the history of the industry, and as we’ve seen over the last few weeks, one of the most fearsome competitors to stand in this ring. And to MVP’s right… The fans already cheer for “Bobby! Bobby!” Yes, here stands a multi-time collegiate amateur champion, a man with an MMA fighting record of 19-0!

This is the ALL MIGHTY Champion, four times across three different companies, this IS Bobby Lashley! Now, as the Hurt Syndicate, their goal is to really “enrich the lives of younger talent.” They wanna uplift guys and help them realize their greatest potential, much in the way they did for each other. They rose up to become the fearsome threesome that they have become! And IF MVP should offer you a card… That card is like your golden ticket to success! If you accept it, it can change your life. And if you reject it… Well, this is what happens. MVP cues footage of last week, as Lashley took out Swerve, with MVP neutralizing Prince Nana.

MVP says they really, really did wanna help Swerve. They wanted to elevate Swerve! They didn’t want to make an enemy of Swerve, but Swerve wanted to make an enemy of them. But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Because yes, Swerve Strickland is here! But referees are already trying to stop him from going to the ring! Even Nana wants Swerve to calm down and think about this. The Hurt Syndicate dares Swerve to do something, but Nana hands Swerve a mic instead. Swerve glares at the ring as he shouts at, “BOBBY! LASHLEY! Full. Gear.” The fans fire up for that! MVP says, “We’ll see ya there, kid.”

And so, challenge issued and challenge accepted! The Realest and The All Mighty are about to throw down, but who will be the one getting hurt in New Jersey?

 

Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin VS Claudio Castagnoli & PAC w/ Wheeler Yuta!

After everything that has happened since The Blackpool Combat Club betrayed Bryan Danielson, this match was bound to happen. Freshly Squeezed and The Relentless One want revenge and then some, but will they make it past two-thirds of the AEW World Trios Champions? Or will The Swiss Superman & The Bastard make Orange ripe for the picking?

Pac SOBATS, then KICKS, then SOBATS again! Pac runs, but Cassidy avoids the shotgun boot! Cassidy runs to PENALTY KICK! The fans fire up and Cassidy glares at Yuta a moment before aiming at Pac.

Pac blocks the ref’s view and Darby is seething. Claudio steps away, and Pac drags Cassidy up. Pac kicks Cassidy to a corner, stomps him, then taunts Darby. Pac mocks the fans, too, then whips Cassidy corner to corner hard! So hard, Cassidy tumbles up, out and to the floor!

Darby coaches Cassidy, the ref has Yuta stay back, but Claudio sneaks DOUBLE STOMPS! Cassidy writhes, Pac goes out after him, and Pac puts Cassidy in the ring. Cover, TWO! Cassidy stays in this but Pac drags him by his hair. Pac tags Claudio, Claudio stomps away on Cassidy, then clamps on a chinlock. Cassidy endures being twisted, and he fights up to his feet!

Cassidy survives and the fans rally up, but Claudio stalks him to a corner.

Yuta Sucks!” But Yuta still hits a BUSAIKU KNEE on Cassidy! But finally someone else shows up! The Conglomeration rushes out here, having seen too much to stand by any longer! But the damage has been done, and The Death Riders slip away into the night. There are 17 days left, will Cassidy be able to end Moxley’s reign of terror with an Orange Punch? Is Darby even going to be able to walk after nearly being broken in half?

 

Backstage interview with Ricochet.

Renee Paquette is with The One & Only, and says tonight he takes on The Don Callis Family with a mystery partner. Can we get any hints as to who that might be? Ricochet says it is a huge responsibility, as he could pick anyone in AEW. And it’s really easy when everyone in AEW has a problem with The Don Callis Family. As much as Ricochet wants to tell us, he’ll keep it a secret for later tonight. Renee says fair enough. And then in steps The Hurt Syndicate. MVP pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and Ricochet says it’s nice to see Bobby again. Didn’t they talk already? MVP says they did. They’re just wishing him good luck.

Lashley makes sure Ricochet’s tie is right, and Ricochet says, “Watch me work.” MVP promises that they will. Is this a sign that the offer to join is still open to Ricochet? Just who did Ricochet find to be his partner against Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher?

 

Six Man Fight Without Honor: The Conglomeration VS The Learning Tree!

Mark Briscoe has tried to ignore Chris Jericho, even after losing the ROH World Championship to him, but The Nueve just can’t leave Jay Briscoe’s name out of his mouth. Clearly, there is no honor in Jericho, Bryan Keith or “Big Bill” Morrissey, so there’s nothing to hold back the Sussex County Chicken or his friends in beating their asses! Will Mark, Kyle & “Big Tom” Ishii finally burn down this rotten Learning Tree? Or will they never escape the Jericho Vortex?

Dynamite returns as The Learning Tree makes his entrance, his Branches by his side. They step into the ring, Jericho waves at the crowd, and then Jericho turns around into a HAYMAKER from mark! The bell rings and the fight is on! Ishii SWATS a kendo stick away then TOSSES Keith out! Bill beats up on Kyle but Ishii storms out after Keith. Keith JAMS Ishii up with the kendo stick! Then SMACKS him on the back! Ishii snarls, Keith throws hands, but Ishii doesn’t flinch! Meanwhile, Bill hoists Mark up in a choke grip! Mark fights free, and Kyle is back to fire KICKS on Bill’s leg! Bill knees Kyle low, then TOSSES him out!

Mark fires off on Jericho in a corner, then gives Jericho a BELT SHOT with the ROH World title! Bill steps over the top rope, only for Kyle to grab his big leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Mark dumps Jericho to the apron, and there’s a table already waiting! Mark CHOKES Jericho, reels him in, and the fans fire up! Jericho fights the lift! Jericho fights free, CLAWS Mark’s face, but then Ishii is there to ROCK Jericho! Mark runs to DROPKICK Jericho right into Ishii’s SAIDO, down through a table! That was there the whole time!? But then Bill BOOTS Ishii! Mark UPPRECUTS Bill, then Kyle passes him a chair!

Mark sets the chair up on the apron, and uses it to LAUNCH over the corner! Down goes Bill and the fans are thunderous! Mark high-fives fans, but then Keith and Kyle are brawling on the apron’s edge! Kyle fires off on Keith, but Keith CLAWS Kyle’s face! Keith and Kyle FALL down through the other table!! The fans are thunderous, and now Mark brings out a ladder! This has become an honorary TLC, but Bill KNEES Mark low! Bill hoists Mark up, to CHOKE SLAM through the ladder!! The fans lose their minds as all six men are down on the outside! The fans cheer for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” as Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref checks all six men, and they’re all somehow still in this. Mark crawls away from the wreckage, Bill stirs and looks to Jericho. Jericho also stirs, but now Mark brings out a new table! Mark pushes that into the ring, hobbles and falls, but Jericho is on Ishii. Ishii CHOPS Jericho! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Jericho CHOPS in return! Ishii CHOPS again! They trade CHOPS, the ref wants this in the ring, but there’s no point in reprimanding when there’s no disqualifications! Bill puts some stank on a CHOP to Mark! The CHOPS between Ishii and Jericho continue, and Mark CHOPS Bill! Bill UPPERCUTS Mark!

Jericho still CHOPS Ishii, Ishii still CHOPS Jericho, and Kyle stalks Keith around the way. Jericho finally goes into the ring while Keith DECKS Kyle! Bill DECKS Mark, and he does a dance to mock him. Mark is right up to fire CHOP after CHOP! Keith CLAWS Kyle’s face! Ishii and Jericho CHOP in the ring! Keith CLAWS Mark’s face and BITES his forehead! Kyle CHOKES Keith with a wire! Jericho CHOPS Ishii, but Ishii grits his teeth. Jericho CHOPS again, and Ishii doesn’t budge. Jericho CHOPS again, but Ishii CHOPS Jericho down! Bill CHOPS Mark against the railing! Ishii and Jericho go back to trading CHOPS!

Bill stalks Mark, Mark CHOPS and ROCKS him! Dynamite returns to single picture as Mark JAMS Bill with a chair! Jericho CLAWS Ishii’s face, then stomps him to the apron. Ishii rolls away but Jericho soaks up the heat from the fans. But then Mark storms into the ring, armed with a chair! Jericho is worried, but he grabs a chair of his own. They CLASH chairs like swords, and the fans fire up! Jericho is disarmed, and Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him on the back! Jericho falls, Keith returns, but Mark JAMS him up! And SMACKS him down! Bill is back to BOOT Jericho! Ishii is in, Bill LARIATS him!

Kyle returns, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but runs into a BIG BOSS SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill roars and stands tall, quite literally. Bill runs at Mark, Mark dodges, Bill hits buckles! Mark UPPERCUTS! Kyle KICKS! Ishii CHOPS! Mark CHOPS! KICK! CHOP! UPPERCUT! Then Conglomeration set Bill up, HIGH LOW from Ishii & Kyle! Bill tumbles out, but Kyle goes to the apron. FLYING KNEE and down goes Bill! Jericho rolls Mark! TWO, and Jericho trips Mark! Ishii CHOPS Jericho! And CHOPS again! Mark CHOPS! Ishii CHOPS! Mark kicks Jericho low, and we see Kyle going after Bill all the way to the backstage area!

Mark underhooks Jericho, but Keith SMACKS Mark with a kendo stick! Keith SMACKS Ishii, too! Keith roars, the fans boo, but Keith climbs a corner. Ishii rises first to ROCK Keith! Ishii climbs, but Jericho CLUBS Ishii! Jericho climbs up, but Mark CLUBS Jericho! This is getting complicated, but Mark brings Jericho away from the corner! Mark hits Jericho with a POWERBOMB while Ishii SUPERPLEXES Keith! The fans are thunderous, and Keith flops out of the ring. Jericho is alone with Mark and Ishii, but we see Bill and Kyle fighting in the hallways of this arena! Bill BOOTS Kyle to keep him going.

They’ve made a roundabout way back to the arena, and Bill puts Kyle on a road case. Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then clears a table! Bill brings it a little closer, and the fans are already losing their minds being this close to the action. Bill stands on the case with Kyle, hoists Kyle up, and SKYSCRAPER- NO, Kyle shifts to a GUILLOTINE!! Bill flails, fades, and he FALLS down through the tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! A ref hurries to check those two while Jericho and Mark rise in the ring. Mark eggs Jericho on. This started with them, it has to end with them! Mark grabs a new ladder, and he runs up, into a DROPKICK!!

Jericho snarls, grabs a chair, and he wants Mark to get up! Mark rises, but he ducks the shot! Kick and underhooks! JAY DRILLER!! The fans are thunderous but Mark still has something planned! Mark sets up the ladder, then the table. Mark fires hands, he puts Jericho on the table, and he climbs the ladder! The fans are thunderous as he goes to the very top! SUPER DUPER FROGGY-BOW through the table!!! Cover in the wreckage, KEITH BREAKS IT!! The Bad Apple saves his leader, but Ishii is back! Keith ROCKS Ishii, runs, and LARIATS! Ishii doesn’t budge, and he LARIATS Keith in return! Ishii has Mark go and DIVE onto Keith!

Ishii drags Jericho up and tells him this is what he gets! SLIDING LARIAT!! The fans fire up as now Ishii drags Jericho back up, to suplex and BRAIN- NO, Jericho fights! Ishii suplexes again, for the BRAINBUSTER!!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!!

Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall

As if the Ladder War before wasn’t wild, this was a Fight Without Honor we will all remember! And Ishii picks up the ROH World Championship to tell Jericho he’s coming for the title! Will the Stone Pitbull soon be the gold Pitbull?

 

Moxley & The Death Riders return backstage.

They’re storming through and Moxley spots the cameras. He has everyone stop, and says, “Just so there’s no confusion, Orange Cassidy, this kid doesn’t owe you anything. Nothing. Just cuz he slept on your couch years ago, just cuz you spotted him some gas money. He owes you because you were friends? Being a nice guy doesn’t buy loyalty, money doesn’t buy loyalty. Only a cause buys loyalty. He is not your friend. He is not your student. He doesn’t belong to you, Bryan Danielson or anyone else. He is a soldier under my command.

“Darby Allin, I had high hopes for you. Frankly, you are a disappointment. There’s a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to destroy, and a time to build. What season are we in? Well, it’s a little bit of both. Maybe it’s time for y’all to stop playing at the thing you want people to think you take seriously.” The Death Riders exit the building, will their war on AEW be never ending?

 

Adam Cole VS Malakai Black!

In the race to face MJF at Full Gear, The Panama City Playboy checked off win number one against Buddy Matthews. But now he faces the House of Black’s Dark Father. Their career singles series against each other is 6-0 in Malakai’s favor. Will this be an unlucky number seven for Cole? Or can he finally get that one while going 2-0 in the chase?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Cole and Malakai stare down. They slowly circle, tie up, and Cole headlocks. Malakai powers up and out, RAMS Cole, and then things speed up. Malakai drops down, hurdles over, then hip tosses Cole. Cole is right up but Malakai trips him. Cover, ONE, and Cole sweeps. Cover, ONE! Malakai blocks the superkick, then simply sets the foot down. The fans cheer and the two reset. They actually shake hands and circle again. Cole and Malakai tie up, and Malakai wrenches the arm. Cole rolls, rolls, and slips free. Malakai goes after the arm again, wrenches to a wristlock, but Cole rolls.

Malakai headlocks, Cole powers up but Malakai blocks the power-out. Malakai throws Cole down, rolls him over, then stands him up with the wristlock. Cole rolls, headlocks, but Malakai powers out to wrench , hammerlock, and then he spins Cole to wrangle him. Cole keeps his arms off the mat, then stands to arm-drag free! Malakai arm-drags back! Malakai has the wristlock again and the fans rally up. Malakai then shifts to a double wristlock! Cole throws a body shot, then a SUPER- NO, Malakai blocks the kick again! Malakai KICKS the leg, and Cole hobbles out of the ring. The fans fire up and Malakai waits while Cole walks it off.

The ring count starts, but now Malakai rushes out after him. Cole kicks Malakai, then whips him into railing! Cole then brings Malakai around, btu Malakai puts Cole in first. Cole fireman’s carries Malakai, but Malakai slips out and waistlocks. Malakai RAMS Cole into a corner, but Cole bucks the O’Conner. Malakai again blocks the kick, but Cole avoids the low kick. Cole whips Malakai to a corner, but blocks a boot, only to get a KNEE! Malakai goes up, but Cole BOOTS him! Malakai goes to the apron, Cole storms over, but Malakai ROCKS Cole! Cole BOOTS Malakai down this time! Cole drags Malakai in, HEAT-

NO, Malakai denies the Heatseeker! Malakai KNEES Cole, drags him out of the ring, and then aims to FLYING- SUPERKICK! Cole finally hits the shot and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Malakai checks his teeth while Cole shakes out his leg. Cole drags Malakai up, puts Malakai in the rings, and then goes up a corner. Cole takes aim as Malakai stands, PANAMA- BACKDROP! Malakai waits on Cole to stand, but Cole ducks The End! Cole ROCKS Malakai, Malakai ROCKS Cole in return! The shots go back and forth, then Malakai fires a combo. Cole ROCKS Malakai back, Malakai fires another string! Cole KNEES low, suplexes, but Malakai slips free. Malakai waistlocks, Cole breaks free, but Malakai ROCKS him again! Malakai runs, but into a SUPERKICK! Malakai rebounds to BOOT! Cover, TWO!

Cole stays in this and Malakai stands. Malakai paces around Cole, then KICKS him down! Malakai drops a knee on Cole’s face, then drags him up. Malakai puts Cole in a corner, fires off a string of strikes, and he ROUNDHOUSES Cole down! Malakai wrenches, Cole ROCKS him! Malakai shoves and ELBOWS Cole down! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Malakai stays on him with a chinlock! Cole endures the squeeze and fights up, so Malakai shifts to a hammerlock! Malakai wrangles Cole to the mat, but Cole fights back up. So Malakai trips Cole to have an INVERTED CALF KILLER! Cole kicks with the free leg until he’s free!

Malakai storms back up, but Cole fires forearms! Dynamite returns to single picture, Cole fires more shots on Malakai, but Malakai knees low! Malakai ROCKS Cole, runs, but into a fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Malakai stays in this but Cole hurries to a corner. Cole hops up, jumps again, PANAMA- NO, Malakai backdrops again! Cole sunset flips it, but Malakai rolls through! Cole runs up to DESTROYER!! Malakai is up on his feet?! And he KNEES Cole in the face!! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and the fans fire up! Both men are down, and Malakai clutches his neck. The fans rally as Malakai drags himself up.

Cole rises, Malakai fires a combo! Cole fires a flurry of forearms! Malakai just fires another combo! Cole fires more shots, then 52 FAKEOUT! But then Malakai blocks the rest to trip Cole! Malakai goes up, but Cole ROCKS him first! Cole fires more shots, then he climbs up after Malakai. Cole brings Malakai up but Malakai fires hands!

Cole rises, brings down the kneepad, and lowers- THE END!!! Cover, TWO?!?!

The fans are torn that Cole survives Malakai’s best shot! Malakai himself has a very rare look of shock on his face. Malakai thinks on what he has to do, so he stands Cole up. Malakai has Cole at the ropes but Cole shoves him away. Cole then falls over, not much left! Malakai stands Cole up, blocks a superkick and pushes the leg down, but Cole SUPERKICKS right back! Cole bumps Malakai off buckles, goes up, and hits the PANAMA SUNRISE! SUPERKICK!! And then a basement SUPERKICK! Malakai falls back and the fans are thunderous again! Cole rises, but so does Malakai. Malakai drags himself up with ropes, but then he flounders back down.

Malakai sits up, but he looks to Cole. Is he inviting Cole to do it?! Malakai sits cross legged, and Cole hits THE BOOM!! Cover, Cole wins!

Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall

It’s hard to say which is bigger: Adam Cole finally beating Malakai Black, or Adam Cole continuing on his path towards MJF and Full Gear. Well, as we’ve seen the past few weeks, Kyle is watching this. Even as Kyle gets his arm checked by a trainer, Kyle nods in approval. Will Kyle quietly support Cole from afar as Cole looks to finally settle things with MJF?  Back in the ring, Malakai sits up. Cole says thanks, and offers a handshake. Malakai pushes the hand aside, to hug it out with Cole! The fans cheer the sportsmanship, will Malakai also support Cole in his endeavor for vengeance?

Cole then gets a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” The fans cheer that! Cole says first of all, Malakai Black is one of the very best Cole’s ever fought in his 16 year career. He thanks Malakai for this match. The fans cheer Malakai as he stands on the stage. Cole says there is one more person he needs to talk to, and his name is Max. This is two down, one to go. Roderick Strong still needs to win his two more, and trust Cole when he says this, they’re gonna win those matches. Because Max thinks he put roadblocks in their way, but that’s not the case.

Everyone is surely asking, if Cole gets three wins, and Roddy gets three wins, what happens at Full Gear? Cole says fortunately, he talked to one Tony Khan. And TK said it like this: If, or rather when Cole gets three wins and when Roddy gets three wins, guess what? Full Gear becomes MJF VS Adam Cole AND Roddy Strong in a Triple Threat! Max, trust Cole when he says, MJF gets the ass kicking of a lifetime from The Undisputed Kingdom, baybay! The fans cheer as the odds are no longer in MJF’s favor!

Speaking of, we see MJF losing his cool in his home. He sips wine but that doesn’t calm him down. MJF paces, grabs his phone, and he makes a call. “Yeah. I need you to pay someone a visit.” With that, the call ends. Who did MJF call? And who is this person going to “visit” in order to turn the tables back around?

 

Backstage interview with Jay White.

Renee is with The Switchblade and brings up the “choice words” Hangman Page had ahead of their match at Full Gear. What is his reaction to the “vile” things Hangman said? White says yeah, Hangman thinks White has no idea what Hangman is capable of. Hangman says he might break White’s ankle, he might burn White’s- HANGMAN CLOBBERS WHITE OUTTA NOWHERE!! Renee can barely get outta there because of her own broken ankle! Hangman fires hands on White, knocks spare ladders over, and they make their way out to the crowd! The fans fire up as this brawl goes to the side of the stage!

Hangman shoves White away, DECKS a security guard, and then takes the guy’s chair! The fans boo but White ROCKS Hangman! White fires more shots, and he KNEES Hangman again and again! White UPPERCUTS, then he grabs that chair! But Hangman TACKLES White into the railing! The fans are torn as Hangman puts White’s leg up! White fights back, Hangman CLUBS him, and he pushes the leg down between barriers! White screams in pain, but Hangman CLUBS away on the leg! Hangman has White caught, and then grabs the chair! But JUICE runs in to take the chair! The fans fire up and Juice dares Hangman to go for him!

White gets free, and he fires hands on Hangman! White sends Hangman into railing, then into the ring! Hangman bails out and runs away. White grabs a mic to tell hangman not to run away again. White would love to know what Hangman was going to do to him at Full Gear. Here’s what White will do to Hangman: He will beat Hangman, he will embarrass Hangman, he will dismantle him, and have fun doing it! The fans will have fun watching White do that! The fans cheer in agreement there. Hangman says he’s gonna leave White behind? Hangman was NEVER ahead of White, and he never will be!

White says at Full Gear, the Hangman will Breathe with the Switchblade once more, and that leg will be Hangman’s downfall! And maybe, just maybe, White will be the first ever to make the Hangman tap out! Hangman doesn’t like that, huh? Well too bad! If he doesn’t like it, then White, Juice, and the Gold Members in Manchester, New Hampshire have two words for ya! GUNS UP! The heat keeps turning up on this one! Will Hangman be the one to burn for it?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee catches the #BornAgainKristen as she enters, and says it is official! Full Gear, AEW TBS Championship, Mercedes Mone VS Kris Statlander. How does it feel to possibly have that title around her waist again? Kris says Mone can’t change the fact that Kris will be the NEW TBS Champion. Renee wishes Kris luck, but then someone almost runs Kris over?! It was Kamille & Mone!! Mone says Kamille MISSED Kris! Is she stupid or just dumb? Never mind, just go out and get her! Kamille does as she’s told, but Kris already had Mone! The CEO wants to hit someone with her car!? Kris picks Mone up but Kamille makes the save!

Kris grabs Kamille then, and SMACKS her off the side of the car! Kamille elbows back, tries to get back in the car, but Kris CLUBS her first! And then SLAMS the door shut on Kamille’s arm!! The Brickhouse falls apart, and Kris SLAMS Mone on the hood! Oh, of course it’s a Mercedes. Security finally rushes in, but the damage has been done. Will Kris make Mone pay for trying some vehicular manslaughter?

 

The Patriarchy is here!

And there is extra special security here as Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna are about to confront the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, Hook. Christian grabs a mic, and he tells Manchester, “Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business.” The fans boo but Christian is sure we’re wondering about the security detail. Christian just wants a chance to explain himself. So when Hook comes out, this is all for everyone’s protection. First thing’s first, he formally welcomes Kip to the Patriarchy. You might wonder how this came to be after all the cat ‘n’ mouse games these past few months.

And it was that Christian realized Kip was just trying to get his attention. That much like a lot of you, he is a fatherless loser just looking for some guidance. But there was one moment that stood out among all else, and the footage replays: Kip snatching the pen, and then Christian almost running into the Death Riders… Now, people here in Manchester, NH might not understand so he’ll spell it out for them. Kip had the foresight to realize what was happening. If Christian had signed his Casino Gauntlet contract, the Death Riders would interfere to cost Christian the match, and this contract would be gone forever.

Because of Kip Sabian, Christian stands here #AndStill the reigning, defending, undisputed NEXT AEW World Champion. Kip applauds but the fans boo. Christian says in that moment, Kip did more for him than any of his other sons have. Christian says he loves Kip, and the two hug it out. Nick is a bit unsure about this, but here comes Hook! The fans fire up and Hook has a mic of his own. “Whatever it is that you have to say, make it good, and make it fast, cuz I don’t have much patience.” Christian says yes, of course. Never mind the security, let’s just talk. Christian will say it straight: Hook is a wild card.

Hook has those crazy eyes, is a problem, a bull in a China shop, an ass kicker, and what happened here on Dynamite a few weeks ago, don’t mistake it. That wasn’t a beating, that wasn’t an attack. Christian needs a son like Hook. Christian needed to be sure Hook could be disciplined to fall in line. But he also realized that if Hook was going to be Christian’s son, Hook couldn’t have that “other voice” in his ear. That other voice was Taz, so yes, Christian admits to the attack. It was from a place of love and caring, but Christian hit Taz in the knee with a lead pipe. The question now is, Taz saw Christian’s face. Why did Taz not just tell Hook it was Christian?

The answer is simple: Taz realized Christian could take Hook to heights not even Taz could imagine. Hook, your father is a legend in this business. Just as Taz and he’ll tell you. Hook’s father was the face of the “outlaw promotion,” a big fish in a little pond. And what happened when he got to the big stage with the bright lights? He buckled under the pressure! He hung up his boots, put the headset on, and hid behind the announce table. So the question to Hook is: Does he want to be an announcer like his father? Or does he want to be a renowned and revered world champion like The Patriarch himself, Christian Cage?

Christian says he regrets not taking things with Taz just a touch further. As he looks around, it is clear to Christian, no one even cares Taz is alive. The fans boo, but Christian says he needs Hook. In this moment, he’ll tell Hook to his face: Christian wishes Taz was DEAD! The fans boo even harder and Hook seethes. Hook storms right through the security and gets in the ring! Kip runs up, into REDRUM! Christian saves Superbad but he ends up in REDRUM! Nick saves Christian, the special squad gets in, but Hook throws them all around! Hook puts the last guy in REDRUM!! Hook glares at Christian but Christian grins.

The Patriarchy wants to build their deck with this wild card, but is Hook too wild to ever be tamed?

 

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Alex Marvez is with THE scumbag leader of the Don Callis Family and brings up the new tag team of Brian Cage & Lance Archer have simply been dominant. Callis says no more 50-50, they are squashing everyone! Wait, who is this? This man hands Callis an envelope, and a box. Callis looks at the envelope, it has a lot of money in it. And the box has a shiny ring inside. The man then says there is a voice message for Callis. “Hey, Don, it’s The Devil.” MJF wants Callis to take care of a baybay for him. And if he gets that job done, there’s another envelope like that one waiting for him.

And if Callis scratches that ring… Well, let’s just say there are a lot more men in suits that can scratch him up, too. MJF’s messenger leaves, and Callis puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Callis laughs as one devil made a deal with another. Will The Murderhawk Monster & Machine simply be mercenaries for MJF to take out the Undisputed Kingdom?

 

Jamie Hayter VS Penelope Ford!

It was two years ago that these two teamed up, and while one would become AEW Women’s World Champion, the other would be stuck at home with a severe injury. Hayter feels Ford has made this way too personal for no good reason, but will Ford still have her revenge? Or will she return only to find Hayter still hits hard?

Wait, Ford SHOVES Hayter off the corner during her entrance! The bell rings, fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Ford goes up and up to APRON KNEE DROP! Hayter sputters but Ford mocks her pain. Ford storms in to rain down fists on Hayter’s chest and ribs! The ref counts, Ford lets off, and then run sin. Hayter dodges, Ford gets stuck on ropes! Hayter hauls Ford up for a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as now Hayter rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Hayter lets off to say it’s fair given what Ford did. Hayter then has Ford in a corner to CHOP! And CHOP again! Hayter stomps away on Ford, then stops as the ref counts.

Hayter has Ford against ropes for a flurry of forearms! The ref counts, Hayter runs, but Ford runs up to BOOT! Ford drags Hayter up, whips her to a corner, then runs corner to corner. Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Ford then goes side to side, HIGH BOOT WASH! Ford reels Hayter in, snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ford frowns, then knees on Hayter to choke her! The ref counts, Ford steps off and pretends it was all an accident. Ford drags Hayter up to scuff her, but Hayter fires body shots! Ford BOOTS Hayter down, then drags her up. Hayter fires shots but Ford CLUBS Hayter down. Ford puts Hater on ropes to CHOKE!

The ref counts, Ford mocks the fans and then steps away. Ford drags Hayter up, brings her around, but Hayter JAWBREAKERS! Hayter ROCKS Ford, runs, but Ford KICKS the legs out! Hayter falls into ropes, then Ford SHOTGUNS her in the back! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this but Ford goes to the apron. Ford climbs, soaks up some heat, then MOONSAULT FLOPS! Hayter basement DROPKICKS! Then a suplex, for a BRAINBUSTER! The fans fire up with Hayter and she shrieks! But Ford goes Matrix to avoid the lariat! CUTTER! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and now Ford shrieks in anger!

Ford drags Hayter up while the fans rally. Ford fireman’s carries, then pops her up, but Hayter lands out! Hayter hooks Ford up, HAYTERADE!! Cover, Hayter wins!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

That’s right, Hayter hits that hard! Ford’s wrath will not be satisfied, will she just have to let it go? Will Hayter get to go after a championship in time for Full Gear?

 

Mina Shirakawa is coming!

The Fighting Gravure Idol knows we all want Mina, and so she’ll give us what we want. Wait, did the image go half black ‘n’ white with a QR Code? Could this return be surprisingly timeless?

 

AEW takes a closer look at Kazuchika Okada,

Jim Ross says The Rainmaker is one of his favorite talents ever. Truck loads of charisma and skill, he’s in the top five of wrestlers in the world. Most people who are knowledgeable have him on that list, and some might even have him as number one, he is that special. Excalibur narrates that Okada has the chance to enter rarified air in pro-wrestling. With FOUR G1 Climax wins already to his name, a win in this year’s Continental Classic could tie him with NJPW legend, “Mr. G1,” Masahiro Chono and his five round robin victories. Okada himself says, “Who is Chono? Chono is not an international star like The Rainmaker!”

Okada says he IS the greatest tournament wrestler in the history of the world! Okada is Japan’s greatest export! The Continental Championship will not only defend his title but his pride as one of the greatest international stars of all time in this year’s Continental Classic. Will Okada’s fifth round robin trophy not be a G1 but a C2?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Given what they’ve done to Orange Cassidy, the Death Riders will now have to answer to The Conglomeration, with the AEW World Trios Championships on the line! Will Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii take away these titles before Cassidy becomes a Freshly Squeezed AEW World Champion? Or will Pac, Claudio & Yuta take away the only friends Cassidy has left?

 

Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis VS Ricochet & ???

The Don Callis Family has taken a lot from Will Ospreay. The Alpha took the International Championship for his own while The Protostar took Ospreay’s trust and broke it. But neither of them expected The One & Only to step up to them both. Ricochet wants to take down Takeshita for taking that title, but who did he find to join him? Ricochet makes his entrance, mic in hand, and he has everyone hold on. Ricochet says “you two morons” made a mistake saying Ricochet could choose anyone in AEW as a partner.

Ricochet did some research, a little bit of digging, and he found that as of October 4th of this year, a certain someone’s contract with the Don Callis Family has… expired. See, this man is upset because he feels The Don Callis Family just forgot about him. Allow Ricochet to introduced his really pissed off partner, “P-P-P-P-POWERHOUSE.” The fans go wild seeing Will Hobbs return! Not the Will that Kyle was calling out, but one he should’ve been concerned about! Ricochet & Hobbs run in, the bell rings, and the brawl is on! Hobbs is after Kyle while Ricochet is after Konosuke and the ref wants this to sort out!

Ricochet and Konosuke fall out of the ring, then Konosuke SHOVES Ricochet into the commentary desk! Hobbs and Kyle still fight in the ring, but Konosuke slides in. The Callis Family whip Hobbs, but he comes back to CLOBBER them both! The fans fire up as Hobbs paces. Hobbs & Ricochet then pursue the Callis Family to the ramp. Ricochet BOOTS Konosuke while Hobbs sends Kyle into railing! Ricochet drags Konosuke up, UPPERCUTS him, and Hobbs sends Kyle into more railing! Ricochet sends Konosuke into railing, and the fans fire up. Hobbs whips Kyle into even more railing! Ricochet CHOPS Konosuke, but Konosuke gets mad.

Ricochet CHOPS, and CHPOS, but Konosuke DECKS him! Hobbs beats up on Kyle some more, then goes after Konosuke. Konosuke is down holding an ankle but Hobbs stomps him. Ricochet rolls into the ring while Hobbs throws hands on Konosuke. Hobbs joins Ricochet, and Ricochet climbs to hop onto Hobbs’ shoulders! The fans fire up as they balance, and then Ricochet ARIHARA MOONSAULTS onto The Callis Family! The fans are thunderous, and Ricochet feeds Kyle to Hobbs. Hobbs paces while Kyle shakes out the cobwebs. Hobbs hauls Kyle, says “I’m back~!” and he suplexes. Stall and SLAM at five!

Kyle writhes in pain but Hobbs points to Ricochet. The fans cheer, and Hobbs tags Ricochet in. They double whip Kyle, to then DOUBLE- Well, no, Hobbs CLOBBERS Kyle and Ricochet cheers and flexes. Ricochet is already having too much fun here, and he covers Kyle, ONE! Ricochet gets the fans fired up again as he goes corner to corner, but Kyle puts him on the apron. Ricochet ROCKS Kyle, BOOTS Konosuke, then RAMS Kyle, but Kyle has Ricochet by the head! DRAPING DDT! Konosuke runs up to sucker punch Hobbs! Hobbs doesn’t even budge! The ref stops Hobbs from storming in but that lets The Callis Family double GOURD BUSTER!

Then Konosuke & Kyle run, to BOOT SANDWICH Ricochet down! The fans boo again while Kyle flexes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Kyle tags Konosuke and Konosuke drags Ricochet up. Konosuke suplexes, for a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ricochet is tougher than that, but Konosuke clamps on with a chinlock. Ricochet endures, Hobbs rallies Manchester, but Konosuke wrenches Ricochet’s arm. Tag to Kyle, the Callis Family mugs Ricochet, and Kyle taunts Hobbs. The ref has to again stop Hobbs, and Kyle ELBOWS Ricochet in the head. Cover, TWO! Kyle clamps onto Ricochet with a headlock and grinds him down. Ricochet endures, fights around, and stands back up. Ricochet fires body shots, then forearms, then a CHOP! Ricochet whips, Kyle reverses, and Ricochet hits buckles hard!

Ricochet falls back, but Kyle rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Hobbs storms in and he kicks Kyle off Ricochet. The ref stops Hobbs from doing more, and Kyle tags in Konosuke. Konosuke stands on Ricochet’s face while soaking up heat, but steps off as the ref counts. Konosuke ROCKS Ricochet to a corner, then whips him corner to corner hard! Ricochet falls in a heap, and Konosuke saunters over. Konosuke then goes up the corner, taunts the fans, and SUPER SENTONS! Direct hit! Cover, TWO! Ricochet stays in this, but Konosuke drags him up. Konosuke snapmares Ricochet into a chinlock, and he grinds Ricochet into the mat.

Ricochet endures, the fans rally up, and Ricochet fights to his feet. Ricochet fires body shots, then ROCKS Konosuke with a forearm! Ricochet runs, but into an ELBOW from Konosuke! Dynamite returns to single picture as Konosuke soaks up more heat. The fans rally, Adam Cole is watching now that we all know MJF hired The Don Callis Family. Konosuke shoves Ricochet to a corner, but Ricochet ELBOWS Kyle down! Konosuke runs in, Ricochet dodges, but Konosuke keeps Ricochet back. Ricochet fires elbows to fight the lift, but Konosuke shoves him away again. Ricochet handsprings to BACK ELBOW!

Winners: Ricochet & Will Hobbs, by pinfall

But Kyle isn’t done! He SMACKS Hobbs with a chair! Ricochet doesn’t realize it until Kyle is in! SMACK to Ricochet! And SMACK again! Kyle chucks the chair away, stands over Ricochet, and he drags Ricochet up. BUT WAIT! Mark Davis is back! Dunkzilla has been trying to use words, but now he has to use physicality! He pushes Kyle back off of Ricochet, then tries to bring him out of the ring, but Kyle pushes Mark. Kyle isn’t playing this game! Mark is up in Kyle’s business and he ain’t having it!

Kyle sensed it coming and avoids Hidden Blade! The traitorous Aussie Arrow can run but he can’t hide, will he have no choice but to answer for what he’s done?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite here, lots of great moves that were expected and a lot unexpected, but also some moves that were unexpected yet not so great. Great promo to open the show, and I figured Swerve would show up. Swerve VS Lashley for Full Gear is of course where this was going, so I appreciate Swerve not dragging it out with a big speech. Two weeks until the PPV, we’ll get plenty of that from MVP before the match anyway. Great match from Cassidy & Darby VS Claudio & Pac, and honestly, what a great way to disqualify the match in Marina just booting the ref. Also WOW, Darby being thrown at a post… I hope he’s okay, haven’t heard anything otherwise.

And the beatdown on Cassidy was a good segue to get Conglomeration out there and then have their match with Jericho’s team. Great stuff being it was a Fight Without Honor. I’m more surprised there was no blood like there was in Ladder War. But multiple table spots was a big hit with Manchester, especially that one with Kyle and Bill. Mark not winning with the Froggy-Bow going through a table was a bit booty, though. Yes, last week teased Jericho VS Ishii, but why false finish us like that then? At the same time, Death Riders VS Conglomeration for the trios titles will be some great stuff, but I feel like Jericho’s gonna disqualify that match since he and Ishii are going to battle over the ROH World Championship.

Jay White had a great promo that turned into a brawl with Hangman, that then turned back into a promo. I almost thought White would add a stipulation to their match but whatever, they’ll still have a great one under normal rules. It could go either way, but it feels like Hangman cheats to win and this forces the feud to continue. Very good video package and promo for Okada ahead of the Continental Classic, can’t wait to see his run in that tournament, and who else will be in it with him.

Very good promo from Christian Cage to help explain the Kip Sabian turn, but the rest was just his long version of “It was ME, Austin! It was me all along!” And Christian of course uses a combination of “dead” and “dad” in his promo to piss Hook off, and Hook of course stood tall taking out truly faceless goons. I did appreciate Nick’s reaction to being on the other end of the favoritism scale, and there’s half a chance Nick turns on Christian over this Kip stuff. That would help Hook get one over on a former world champion, and in a roundabout way, Hook can say that if Christian does become champion, then Hook is owed the next shot.

Speaking of Superbad, good match from Mrs. Superbad and Hayter, but it was rather quick, and of course Hayter won. Maybe Hayter gets a match with Mariah May at Full Gear, but I did like that the Mina Shirakawa hype video has a Toni Storm tease in it now. And really good stuff with Kris, Kamille & Mone. Been a minute since someone tried to hit someone else with a car, and then Kris got to hit the car with Mone. This isn’t the go-home moment but it already feels like Kris is going to lose to Mone, even after taking out Kamille with the car door.

Cole VS Malakai was great, though the fans did seem torn like they were with Cole VS Buddy. As I said with that match, Malakai also deserves to be doing something more than being fed to another story, but still. What is unexpected and disappointing is that TK has decided to overthink this story with MJF. Instead of MJF pitting Cole and Roddy against each other in round 3, he wastes money paying Don Callis to have one of his guys lose. At least, that is if the Triple Threat teased is the plan now. It just doesn’t sit right, mostly because my idea is a much better way for MJF to mess with Cole.

Ricochet bringing Hobbs back was awesome stuff, and we got an awesome match with them, Konosuke & Kyle. Great win for Ricochet on Konosuke, so there’s all we need for an International Championship match at Full Gear. Again, Cole VS Konosuke just seems wrong when Brian Cage or Lance Archer are also available and can totally take losses for the sake of story. But it was great to see Mark Davis AND Will Ospreay here, too. There’s at least a Six Man Tag right there of Kyle, Cage & Archer VS Ospreay, Ricochet & Hobbs for next week while Cole VS Takeshita happens. But even without that, Kyle VS Ospreay has to be happening at Full Gear, and could go either way with how Kyle really is being built as a star.

My Score: 8.9/10

NXT creates its own ECW style opening video!

Highlights from both past and present generations, will there be some new highlights made here tonight?

 

Hardcore Match, Special Guest Referee Dawn Marie: Lola Vice VS Jaida Parker!

Well, it wouldn’t be right to show up in the ECW Arena and NOT throw away the rulebook! The Mayor of Vice City looks to settle things with Miss Parker in the most brutal way possible! And with an ECW legend laying down the law, will things get really wild tonight?

Jaida doesn’t wait on the bell, she RAMS into Lola! Then she bumps Lola off buckles again and again! Dawn allows it, and Jaida goes out to fetch a chair! Jaida brings that in, now the bell rings, and Lola dodges! URAKEN through the chair! The fans fire up as Jaida bails out. Lola pursues, fires body shots, and the fans fire up more! Lola RAMS Jaida into an apron, then she goes looking for goodies. Lola brings out a TABLE! The fans cheer, but then Jaida SMACKS Lola with a chair! Jaida says no tot he table and the fans don’t like that. Jaida sits a chair up on the apron, and she shoves Lola. Lola stops short, then sends Jaida into the chair!

The fans fire up as Lola drags Jaida up, to snap suplex to the floor! Jaida writhes, and Lola goes back for her table! The fans fire up as Dawn helps measure the space, but then Jaida SMACKS Lola again! Jaida again says no to the table and the fans boo. Jaida puts Lola in the ring, slides some chairs in, and some more chairs in, and then a couple more! Jaida storms in, stomps Lola down, and then she wedges a chair in a corner. Jaida goes back for Lola, but Lola kicks a leg out! Jaida falls onto one of the other chairs! Lola takes that chair, wedges it in a corner, legs out! Jaida runs up, takes a swing, but Lola dodges! Chair hits chair and Jaida is shook!

Lola SOBATS then whips Jaida into that corner chair! The fans fire up as Lola brings Jaida up. The fans duel, and Lola suplexes Jaida onto a chair! And then onto another chair! Lola says THREE AMIGAS on a chair! But Lola isn’t done there, she gives some Latina Heat, for a FULL METAL DDT! Cover, TWO!! Jaida survives but Lola snarls. Lola runs up to TACKLE Jaida out of the ring! The fans fire up as they spill to the floor. Lola and Jaida get up, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! Dawn checks them both while NXT goes to break.

NXT returns, and there’s been a lot of goodies brought out. Ladders are now in the ring, as are trash cans and kendo sticks. Jaida and Lola each have a ladder and prop them up in corners. Lola’s is standing up, Jaida’s is in the ropes. The fans rally, and Jaida clears some space. “This is Awesome!” as Jaida storms up on Lola. Jaida CLUBS Lola, KNEES her low, then whips her to ropes. Lola leaps, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Jaida says stay down. Jaida drags another ladder into the ring, she stands that up nearby. Jaida then brings Lola up, talks smack on the fans, and she CLUBS Lola. Jaida puts Lola on her ladder in the ropes!

Jaida CLUBS Lola, then brings the third ladder closer. Jaida climbs, the fans fire up, and Jaida takes aim. SUPER TEARDROP breaks the ladder! The fans lose their minds as both Jaida and Lola writhes! Jaida drags Lola to a cover, TWO!! Lola survives and Jaida is losing her cool. Jaida drags Lola up again, suplexes, but Lola slips free to a BACKPACK SLEEPER! Jaida is caught, she leans on the ladder. Jaida drops to the mat, rolls, grabs a rope, but this is a Hardcore match, no ropebreaks! They spill to the floor! Jaida fights up, free of the body scissors, until Lola hops back on! Jaida RAMS Lola into steel steps!

The fans fire up as Jaida puts Lola back in the ring. “Women’s Wrestling!” is shining as Jaida then runs up on Lola! HIPNOTIC! Lola tumbles out of the ring! Jaida pursues again, HIPNOTIC into steel steps and ONLY steps! Lola dodges disaster then puts Jaida in the ring! Cover, TWO!! Jaida stays in this so Lola shoves some stuff aside. Lola puts a trash can over Jaida! ROUONDHOUSE! ROUNDHOUSE! And RHOUNDHOUSE again! Lola fires off, Jaida gets free, so Lola SMACKS her with a kendo stick! Lola puts the can back on Jaida, and the fans fire up. Lola reminds us, “I’m a Latina~!” Then HIP ATTACK into the can!

Lola drags Jaida out of the can to cover her, TWO!! Jaida survives again and Lola seethes. Jaida bails out, walks off the pain, and she goes looking for something. Jaida brings out her own trash can, and CHUCKS it at Lola! Lola falls right over, and Jaida SMACKS her with a kendo stick! And again! And again! Jaida mocks Lola, SMACKS her again, then chases Lola into the ring. Jaida has a chair, but Lola SMACKS first with a kendo stick! And again! And again! Lola grabs herself a chair, but Jaida SMACKS her with a trash can lid! Jaida scoops Lola, then SIDEWALK SLAM on the chair! Lola writhes, but she crawls her way to a corner.

The fans fire up as Jaida takes aim! Jaida runs up, HIPNOTIC into the ladder!! Cover, TWO!! Lola survives and Jaida cannot believe it! Jaida clears space, hauls Lola up to scoop, but Lola slips free! SLEEPER! Lola is again a backpack as Jaida again drops to the mat! Jaida endures, reaches out, but not for ropes! She wants that BRICK! Lola thrashes Jaida, but Jaida still has the BRICK! BRICK IN YO FACE!! Whatcha gonna do with it!? The fans lose their minds, and Jaida covers, TWO?!?! Lola shocks everyone! Jaida wonders what she has to do to end this. Jaida builds speed, TOP GEAR HIPNOTIC! Cover, Jaida wins!

Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall

Miss Parker knew to #MakeItCount, and going full speed did the trick! Will she just keep building speed until she runs over the champions of NXT?

 

Ethan Page & Ridge Holland speak.

All Ego & Yorkshire Grit admire the Rocky Balboa statue. Ethan says, “The fighting city of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America. Which I find fitting that an Englishman and a Canadian are here to bring the fight to Trick Williams & Bubba Ray and ruin tonight’s night of nostalgia.” Ridge says Ethan believes he deserves to be NXT Champion, but Ridge needs to be champion. Tonight, they’ll put their differences aside. And Trick, in this city, Stand & Deliver, you soared to the highest of heights. But in the “dump” known as the ECW Arena, Ridge & Ethan will drag you down to the lowest point of your career.

And they also promise that there will be no monuments, no statues, no fairytale endings, and especially no tables. Ethan & Ridge are certainly determined, but will they regret lighting a fire inside Tricky Two-Time and the ECW legend?

 

Kelani Jordan prepares backstage.

And in a very RVD like splits pose, RVD compliments her focus. He is seriously impressed. She has tonight’s big main event 10 Woman Tag, and then next week’s title rematch. Kelani vows to get that title back, so tonight is a really big deal. RVD says yeah, and if she wants to be a standout, then stand out by pinning Fallon tonight. Great idea! Thanks, RVD. And oh, wasn’t he looking for Ava’s office? Yeah, it’s right down there. Laters. They fist bump and Kelani heads out. But then WES LEE pushes the cameraman down to ATTACK RVD!! Security and refs rush in to stop Wes but Wes says if RVD wanted to do something tonight, Wes just made the decision for him!

Wes leaves and the refs call for medics. Will the heartless Cardiac Kid regret going after this ECW legend? Or will the Young OG make him pay plenty for his bad behavior?

 

Shawn Spears & Brooks Jensen find The D’Angelo Family out to eat.

The Chair Man and his student find Tony D and the rest at Tony & Nick’s Steaks, and Tony asks if they’re stalking him. Spears says they need to talk, but then in step Nunzio & Tony Mamaluke! Nunzio says look who it is! The Don and his crew! Uh, no, they’re a family, not a crew. Family, crew, same difference. But good ol’ FBI: Full Blooded Italians, wanna talk. Spears & Jensen back off and Nunzio asks if Tony’s phone is broken or something. Nunzio knows he called him last week, left a message, but didn’t get a call back. Everybody knows to call Nunzio back. Tony says relax, he meant no disrespect.

Well, disrespect is already taken and felt. Since they didn’t call FBI, FBI made a call. Next week, Rizzo is face to face with Nikkita Lyons. Oh, okay, that’s what Rizzo wanted. But what? They have some power now? Now? They’ve always had power here in South Philly. Here’s how much power. The D’Angelos are gonna pay a tax! And that tax is tonight, the NXT North American Championship will be defended right here in Philly! Against NUNZIO! What? Well, is he sure? Positive! The FBI heads out, but will they be the ones paying for trying to push The Don around?

 

Wes Lee VS Je’Von Evans!

NXT returns and Wes makes his entrance, mocking the fans upset over what he did to RVD. The bell rings and the fans tell Wes off. Wes talks some smack on Je’Von, but Je’Von headlocks first. Wes powers out, Je’Von RAMS him, but Wes doesn’t budge. Wes kicks but Je’Von jumps the sweep! Wes dodges a boot, sends Je’Von to ropes, then dodges again. Wes ducks a roundhouse, rolls back to RANA, but Je’Von handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Je’Von avoids a dropkick to flip Wes over. Wes kips up to arm-drag, but Je’Von again springboards through! Springboard, but Wes blocks the cutter!

Wes CLUBS Je’Von, whips him, but Je’Von rebounds to go up and over! Roll-up, TWO! Je’Von keeps moving, and around, and around, for a BOUNCY~ RANA! Wes tumbles, Je’Von DROPKICKS him out of the ring! The fans fire up while Wes flounders. Je’Von goes to the ropes, PLANCHA, but Wes dodges! Wes RAMS Je’Von into the apron! Wes whips Je’Von, but Je’Von slips through the corner! So Wes hits a 619! Down goes Je’Von, and Wes pulls steel steps apart! The fans boo but Wes soaks up the heat. Je’Von ROCKS Wes! Wes flounders, Je’Von brings him onto the steps, and he goes to suplex! But Wes POSTS Je’Von first!

The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Wes suplexes! Je’Von fights, throws body shots, but Wes still suplexes through, BRAINBUSTER on the steel steps! The fans lose their minds again and Je’Von clutches his neck while NXT goes to break.

NXT returns again and Je’Von has Wes up top. Je’Von climbs but Wes ROCKS him first! Wes CHOPS and fires body shots! Wes ROCKS Je’Von and Je’Von staggers back. But then Je’Von returns, goes right up top, SUPER DUPER STEINER!! The fans are thunderous and Je’Von might’ve surprised himself! Je’Von has a wild look in his eyes as he rises up. Je’Von runs up to ROCK Wes! Wes ROCKS Je’Von back! They go back and forth with haymakers, the fans rally as things go faster and faster! Je’Von ROCKS Wes again! Wes rebounds, but Je’Von dodges to LARIAT! And LARIAT! Je’Von whips, Wes reverses, but Je’Von ducks ‘n’ dodges!

Je’Von goes BOUNCY~ to ROLLING ROUNDHOUSE! The fans fire up again and Je’Von watches Wes go to ropes. Je’Von dodges Wes to then scoop and swing into a SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Wes survives but Je’Von won’t stop. Je’Von drags Wes to a drop zone, then goes up a corner. Je’Von aims, TORNILL- NO, Je’Von has to bail out as Wes moves. Wes BOOTS back, SUPERKICKS, then goes up to FLYING CHUCK! The fans boo but Wes builds speed, to CARDIAC- NO, Je’Von catches Wes! Je’Von back suplexes, Wes lands out, and SUPERKICKS! PIOSON-RANA!! Je’Von sputters, Wes runs, handspring, CARDIAC KICK!! Cover, TWO?!?

The fans are thunderous and Wes is beside himself as Je’Von survives his best shot! Wes goes outside, and he decides to bring a chair out from under the ring! The ref reprimands, this isn’t No Disqualifications! Wes doesn’t care, but then the ref grabs the chair! They tug-o-war, Je’Von rolls Wes up! TWO!! Wes escapes, Je’Von is upset, but then Wes SUPERKICKS! Wes runs up, but into an OG CUTTER!! And then Je’Von goes up and up, SUPER DUPER CUTTER!! But Wes flounders out of the ring! Wes saves himself, perhaps by luck! Je’Von says fine, and he DIVES! Wes DUNKS Je’Von on the desk!!

The fans lose their minds all over again and Wes grins. Wes has Vic Joseph back off, and then he drags Je’Von up. Wes puts Je’Von in the ring, “This is Awesome!” as Wes has the chair again. BUT HERE COMES RVD! The fans fire up and Wes is pissed! RVD storms down to the ring, Wes slides out after him! They argue, so Wes takes another swing! RVD ducks, the chair hits post! And Je’Von FLIES! Down goes Wes! The fans fire up as Je’Von puts Wes back in. RVD cheers Je’Von as he springboards, FLYING CUTTER!! Je’Von isn’t done there, as he goes back up a corner! The fans are thunderous, but then Wes rolls away.

Je’Von isn’t sure, Wes is pretty far away. RVD says do it! Je’Von says bet, and he hits a FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! Cover, Je’Von wins!!

Winner: Je’Von Evans, by pinfall

Well, maybe 4.5 but that was an incredible win from the Young OG! RVD celebrates with him, is Je’Von truly the future of NXT?

 

Ava Raine walks with Stevie Turner & Robert Stone.

The NXT General Manager is headed to gorilla for a special announcement, but they also talk the match we just saw. As far as Stevie’s concerned, Wes got what he deserved. And Stone says nothing keeps down Rob Van Dam. Ava says yes, but the catchphrase is much cooler when RVD does it. Eddie Thorpe walks over and asks if Ava has a minute. They didn’t get to talk last week, so he was hoping- Ava apologizes to Eddie, she has to go out to the crowd. Eddie says this is twice now. Ava says she knows, but they’ll talk later. The GM heads out, her assistants follow, but what is it the Alpha Wolf needs to address?

 

Ava Raine is in the ring.

NXT returns as Ava, Stevie & Stone are in the ring, and Ava says, “What an exciting night so far!” The fans cheer her on and Ava says it is such an honor for this brand to host a show in such a historic arena, and the electricity in here is undeniable. The fans cheer that! Ava says this brand is all about passion, and Philly is the most passionate and hardcore fanbase in all of wrestling. The fans cheer that, too! Ava says before we get back to the action, she has some exciting news. NXT will be headed back on the road for their next Premium Live Event, NXT Deadline!

Yes, on Saturday, December 7th, Minneapolis, Minnesota, NXT will bring back the Iron Survivor Challenge! That is the most exciting 25 minutes in wrestling! Stone says that IS great news, and it will be a great show. Not sure it was a great to lie to the people, though. Ava asks what he means by that. Well, Ava said Philly fans are the most hardcore fans, but Stone knows that NEW YORK fans are way more hardcore! The fans flip Stone off, and Ava asks why he would dare say that here in Philly. Stone says to be real, and just hear him out, the truth hurts, but Boston is more hardcore than Philly!

Stone gets it, in the good ol’ days of ECW, Philly was the talk of the town. But just like the Phillies and Eagles, their time has past! The fans boo, but then the lights go out!? And when they come back up, RHYNO is in the ring?! The fans go nuts, and Stone talks trash on 2300 Arena not paying the electric bill. Stevie tells Stone to turn around, and Stone asks what she’s talking about. Stone does turn around, into a GORE!! The fans fire up as another ECW legend returns to make quite the impact! Will Stone learn not to run his mouth next time?

 

Kelani regroups with her team.

They put on some finishing touches to their preparation, and Giulia says that tonight, here in the home of ECW, they will beat ALL of their enemies! Kelani says yes they are! Jordynne Grace says it is time to get extreme! Stephanie Vaquer says in Spanish, then Kelani translates for the others, that they are all excited for tonight because they get to show the impact of the NXT Women’s Division. And while Roxie’s team of five may’ve run NXT in the past, them running into this team means the run ends tonight. Zaria adds this is the endgame. And also, Kelani knows Spanish? Si! Three years at Michigan State!

Jordynne adds that then, in a place that has seen so much history, this team creates their own. But then SKRRRR~, Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson pull up. Speaking of history making, did y’all see Miss Jackson & The Bougie Bully do their thing on Crown Jewel? They were so close to becoming the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. So while y’all are the “Dream Team,” Meta Four has their money on the champions of NXT. Giulia & Vaquer step up to Lash & Jakara, and Lash wishes them all luck. Cuz they’re gonna need it.

Meta Four heads out, and Vaquer says (in English), “Let’s show them hell.” Giulia says, “Yes.” Will all of NXT’s mean girls learn not to mess with the Beautiful Madness?

 

Trick Williams & Bubba Ray Dudley VS Ethan Page & Ridge Holland!

Speaking of learning a lesson or two, the TWO-TIME TWO-TIME NXT Champion learned how to go hardcore at Halloween Havoc. As for the ECW legend and WWE Hall of Famer, he is looking to teach All Ego & Yorkshire Grit a thing about respect. Will this tag match be right up Bubba Ray’s alley? Or will Ethan & Ridge make it out of Dudleyville in one piece?

NXT returns and Trick makes his entrance, followed by Bubba Ray Dudley’s. The classic theme song, the camouflage gear, and yes, the glasses! Bubba is full Dudley tonight! Bubba shakes hands with Booker T, and then gives him some Dudley glasses! The fans fire up for Booker T Dudley! The teams sort out, the fans chant “E C DUB! E C DUB!” Ethan shouts, “One in, one out!” Bubba stands down, and Trick starts against Ridge. Trick and Ridge circle as the fans chant ‘WHOOP DAT TRICK!” But then Ridge sucker punches Bubba! The fans boo and Bubba glares at Ridge, and now the fans tell Ridge he messed up!

Trick offers the tag, and Bubba wants to hold on. Then he tags in! The fans fire up as Bubba and Ridge circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but then Ridge headlocks. Ridge grinds the hold but Bubba powers up and out. Ridge runs Bubba over! The fans boo but Ridge taunts Bubba. Bubba gets up, he and Ridge reset, then tie up. Ridge scoops Bubba, to SLAM him! Ethan is having fun, but Bubba sits up. Ridge taunts Bubba, and the two tie up again. Bubba headlocks but Ridge powers out. Bubba runs Ridge over! And ELBOWS him back down! Bubba wrenches, tags Trick, and Trick goes up to AX HANDLE the arm!

The fans cheer as Trick wrenches, but Ridge wrenches through. Ridge ROCKS Trick, Trick CHPIs, CHOPS, CHOPS! The fans fire up and Trick whips. Ethan sneaks a tag before Trick wrenches Ridge to a BODY SHOT! And UPPERCUT! Trick runs, Ethan KICKS him in the back! Ridge runs up to BOOT Trick down! Ethan hurries to clamp on and throw down fists! The fans boo, Ethan stops, and Ethan taunts Bubba. Ethan drags Trick up, tags in Ridge, and they double suplex! Trick lands out and slips free, tag to Bubba! Bubba rallies on Ridge and Ethan with haymakers! Then he dodges to send Ethan into Ridge!

Bubba then JABS Ethan again and again, before a flip, flop and fly! BIONIC ELBOW! Bubba sets up, Trick runs in, stepstool DOUBLE FLYING LARIAT! The fans are thunderous as Ethan & Ridge bail out, and NXT goes to break!

Bubba fights back against Ethan & Ridge. Bubba ELBOWS Ridge, BOOTS Ethan, but Ethan distracts the ref! Ridge trips Bubba, and YANKS him into the post! The fans boo and Trick protests, but Ethan stomps away on Bubba in the corner. The ref reprimands, Ethan tags Ridge. Ethan and Ridge drag Bubba around, stomp him, and then Ridge fires crossface forearms! The fans rally for Bubba but Ridge drops knees on Bubba’s face! Cover, TWO! Ridge clamps onto Bubba and the fans rally as Bubba endures. Ridge wrenches Bubba, ROCKS him again and again, but then Bubba JABS! And JABS! Ridge kicks low!

Ridge whips Bubba into the corner, tags in Ethan, and Ethan fires hands now. Bubba wobbles as Ethan fires more hands. Ethan runs, but Bubba TACKLES him! The fans fire up while both men are down! Ethan and Bubba crawl, hot tags to Ridge and Trick! Trick SIDEKICK LEG LARIATS Ridge! SIDEKICK to Ethan! And another SIDEKICK to Ridge! Trick fires haymakers on Ridge, UPPERCUTS, and Ridge falls! Ethan runs up, but Trick DUMPS him out! Trick goes back for Ridge to whip, and FLAPJACK! Trick kips up and the fans fire up !Trick runs up to clinch, BOOKEND on Ridge! Cover, Ethan breaks it!

The fans boo but Ethan hauls Trick up. Bubba makes the save! Bubba ROCKS Ethan, ROCKS Ridge, but Ethan BOOTS Bubba! Trick ZIGZAGS Ethan! Trick then dodges Ridge to CYCLONE KICK! The fans fire up as Trick aims. Trick runs in at Ridge, but Ridge dodges to roll him up! RIDGE & ETHAN WIN?!?

Winners: Ethan Page & Ridge Holland, by pinfall

Ridge tells Trick that this is why Ridge is going to be champion! Maybe Trick did underestimate Ridge, but then Ethan CLOBBERS him! Ethan & Ridge stomp away on Trick, but Bubba comes back with haymakers! Bubba saves Trick, then calls Trick. They pinball Ethan with haymaker after haymaker! Then a scoop and SLAM! The fans fire up as Bubba says go up! Trick climbs, Bubba holds Ethan open, and the fans fire up, “WAZZAAAP~?!” DIVING HEADBUTT into Ethan’s ego! The fans are thunderous, but Bubba hears them chanting. So he tells Trick… “GET THE TABLES!” Trick says testify!

Trick goes looking, but where’d the tables go? There were plenty earlier. Bubba says hold on, hold on. WAIT! Is that D’VON!? The fans go nuts as we get a Dudley Boyz reunion! D’Von even brings a table! Bubba’s not sure which he’s more excited to see, his best friend or this table. Ethan isn’t happy about either, but Bubba and Trick get him up. DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM through the table! The fans cheer and at the very least, Ethan learned his lesson. D’Von then welcomes Trick to the family with a pair of glasses! Will Trick Williams Dudley make sure Ridge learns this same lesson?

 

Ashantee THEE Adonis is checking his phone.

Dion Lennox looks up from his book to look over Adonis’ shoulder. Daaaang~! Dion apologizes for spooking Adonis, but wow. Samantha, Carla and Kisha? Some are just born lucky, huh? Adonis says yeah, but none of them are Karmen. Oh speaking of, Karmen Petrovic steps in. She’s been looking for Adonis! What was that two weeks ago? Oh…! So she is interested. Who knew? But about that, that was- No, he cost her a match, she got him back, she thought they were even. And who even was that girl? Adonis says that was… his girl. Oh, his girl? F-For now! Well, fine, just make sure he and his fling of the week stay outta her business.

Karmen turns to leave but Adonis says hold on. Adonisly, he isn’t even locked into her for real. And her with all her… Attitude. It’s just not his type. Oh, and last week was her birthday, right? Happy belated. Adonis leaves and Karmen says wait, he knew it was her birthday? Dion stays out of it, and Karmen storms off. Is this unorthodox love story going to be the talk of NXT?

 

Roxanne Perez’s team prepares backstage.

Cora Jade says, “A ten woman tag in the house of extreme. But what’s really extreme is two current champions, two former champions, and a future champion.” Jazmyn Nyx says, “The way we see it, is our opponents want to desperately be where the five of us are, and that is at the top.” Jacy Jayne says, “To be successful in this match, it comes down to trust. And that is exactly what we have in each other.” Fallon Henley says, “Five successful women bothered by the same thing: keep the newbies out, and stay in control of this division.” Roxie herself says, “Tonight, the best women’s division in wrestling is exactly where it deserves to be: the main event.

“And the women who run this division will be exactly where we deserve to be: the ones with their hands raised, and their titles in the air.” Will the mean girls of NXT prove that, like it or not, they are the best of the best?

 

NXT North American Championship: Tony D’Angelo w/ The D’Angelo Family VS Nunzio w/ Tony Mamaluke!

The Don didn’t exactly appreciate being called out over the phone, but the Full Blooded Italians didn’t appreciate not being called back. Now Nunzio is ready to put the boots back on and a belt around his waist, will Tony D pay the “title tax?” Or will the FBI learn not to mess with The Family?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’ll have to fogedaboutit!

The bell rings, Nunzio gets right in Tony’s face, but Tony pushes him back. Nunzio runs up, Tony avoids the leg pick, but then Mamaluke gets on the apron! The ref reprimands, Tony tells Tony to go away, but Nunzio CLUBS Tony on the back! Tony glares at “Guido,” and chases him out of the ring! Nunzio uses Mamaluke as a shield! They argue about it, and Tony runs up! Nunzio ducks so Mamaluke takes the LARIAT! Nunzio jumps on Tony’s back for a SLEEPER! Tony pops Nunzio around to THROW into Mamaluke! Tony puts Nunzio in, storms up on him, but Nunzio asks for forgiveness!

Tony stares at the hand outstretched, reaches out for it, but he blocks the sucker punch! BELLY2BELLY! And then Tony puts Nunzio up top! The fans rally as Tony climbs up, but Mamaluke starts more trouble! The Family backs him off, but Nunzio fires hands on Tony! Then a MISSILE DROPKICK! Th efans fir eup as Tony flounders. Tony comes back, into a KNEE! Nunzio goes up, FLYING FAMOUSER! The Sicilian Slice! Cover, TWO!! Tony survives but Mamaluke brings something out! The fans cheer “You Still Got It!” and Mamaluke still has them brass knucks! Luca protests, but the ref is busy with him now!

Stacks hurries to get the crowbar! The ref stops Stacks, but then Rizzo YANKS Mamaluke down! The ref is busy with all the different people, and Tony throws the crowbar to Nunzio? And so the ref catches Nunzio red handed! Nunzio gives the ref the crowbar, and Tony picks Nunzio up! Nunzio says a quick prayer before the SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Tony wins!

Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)

Bada bing, bada boom, mess with Tony D and face your doom. But then Tony shows Nunzio respect with a handshake. They even hug it out! The fans cheer as there is peace between the families. Will everyone celebrate over a couple cheesesteaks back at Tony & Nick’s?

Oh, but we see Spears & Jensen watching backstage. The Chair Man says this is perfect. Jensen asks how is it perfect when Tony D’s riding high. Spears says that’s what they want. Is Jensen hungry? Good. Because Spears is feeling like Italian, next week in Orlando. Jensen gets what Spears is saying. Then will the painful truth be that Tony’s about to fall off of cloud nine?

 

NXT shares footage from after last week’s episode.

Lexis King was physically beat up after his loss to Charlie Dempsey, and he apologizes to William Regal. Regal says there’s nothing to apologize for. Lexis says he knows Regal wanted him to use the knuckles, but if Lexis is going to win, he’ll win clean. Regal says he is so impressed by that. Lexis didn’t take the easy way out, he is proving he is not like his father. They shake hands and Regal wishes Lexis luck on the rest of his journey. Lexis heads out, and Dempsey steps in. Dempsey tells his dad, “Nice try, old man.” Regal says Lexis just didn’t have it. To Regal’s surprise, Lexis is not his father. Though, what about Charlie?

Charlie says only time will tell. Regal nods, and he tells the No Quarter Catch Crew that he’s been watching them all for months now. And as he sees it, the tag division is wide open. That’s where Tavion Heights & Myles Borne come in. They should think on that. This isn’t just Charlie’s crew, this is all of their crew. Regal heads out, and Wren Sinclair says, “He’s so fatherlike.” Charlie shakes his head, but will all of the NQCC soon reign in NXT?

 

Nikkita Lyons speaks.

First she sighs, and then says, “Yeah, Rizzo. I took you out. Oba needed a favor and I took him up on it. I knew when I returned, I had to come a little different. You see, I’ve been on the other side of these attacks before. But we’ve entered a new timeline, and now I’m flipping it! Now I’m the aggressor, I am the attacker. The Lyonness is not going to wait her turn. I’m taking success for myself and taking it from everyone else. Rizzo, you are just the start. And baby girl, I promise you that you will not be the last. I keep hearing about how we have a stacked women’s division. Well, stack them in front of me, and I will drop them one by one until there is ONE woman left.

“Next week, Rizzo, it starts with you.” The Lyonness just can’t wait to be queen, will she scar this division? Or will Rizzo be prepared for whatever Nikkita throws at her?

 

Ava, Stevie & Stone head to the parking lot.

Stevie carries the half conscious Stone and says blimey, Rob, that Gore look like it hurt. Ava then spots #Fraxiom and has them hold on. Ava tells Stevie to go ahead and drop Stone off with the EMTs while she handles something. She congratulates the tag team champions on their win last week. Axiom & Nathan Frazer thank Ava for that. Frazer told Axiom they had it in the bag but Axiom just doesn’t listen. Ava says okay, but with that behind them, she will soon be meeting with all the teams to address the NXT Tag Division. Do the champs need to be there? No, no, don’t worry. She’ll let them know when she’s found their next opponents.

Ava heads out and Axiom says that’s perfect. More time to prepare. Frazer says he isn’t sure about that, sounds more like a night off. Catch ya later. The Undeniable Truth sighs as the Jersey Island Rocket is a little too fast and fancy free. But will Fraxiom pull off another fast & furious stunner against whoever steps up next?

 

10 Woman Tag: Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Kelani Jordan, Zaria & Jordynne Grace VS Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade & The Fatal Influence!

We heard from all ten women tonight, and not only are they ready to establish the NXT Women’s Division as THE women’s division in wrestling, but each team wants to prove they are the real stars. Will the Beautiful Madness, The Dark Angel, The Standout, The Agent of Change and the Juggernaut knockout the mean girls? Or will nothing stop the championship team from coming out on top?

NXT returns and the teams have sorted out. Fallon talks trash on Kelani, but then Kelani jumps to SHOTGUN Fallon right down! The fans fire up as Kelani trashes and dribbles Fallon! Fallon’s team shouts at Kelani, Kelani glares at them all, but then Fallon mule kicks! Fallon talks trash, CHOPS her, then whips. Kelani sunset flips, Fallon rolls through, but Kelani avoids a kick! Kelani slingshot arm-drags and the fans fire up for another DROPKICK! Fallon goes to a corner, Kelani runs and handsprings in, BACK BODY BLOCK! Snapmare, and then tag to Vaquer before the SPLASH! Fallon swings, Kelani dodges, Vaquer springboard CROSSBODIES!

Things keep moving, Vaquer rolls Fallon, SCHOOLGIRL BRIDGE! TWO, but Vaquer fireman’s carries. Fallon fights free to CHOP! The fans “WOO~!” while Fallon talks trash. Fallon whips Vaquer to ROCK her! Tag to Jazmyn, and the Influencers sit Vaquer down. SLIDING D, and then PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Vaquer stands, Jazmyn sweeps the legs, but Vaquer ducks a kick to shove and kitchen sink knee! The fans fire up as Vaquer wraps on the headscissors! Vaquer DRILLS Jazmyn into the mat again and again! Vaquer kicks Jazmyn away, then covers, TWO! Jazmyn stays in this but Vaquer stays on her.

The fans cheer on “Women’s Wrestling!” as Giulia tags in. She and Vaquer double whip, drop down, bypass, and then trip Jazmyn onto ropes! 619 for Jazmyn into the SHOTGUN from Giulia! Handshake and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Giulia stays on Jazmyn, and she scoops for the- NO, Jazmyn fights free! Giulia shoves Jazmyn but Roxie tags in. The fans fire up as these two get at each other! Giulia BENDS Roxie’s finger, blocks a punch, knees low, and then steps over Roxie to spin her around for the hammerlock! Roxie flails, runs around, but Giulia brings her up, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Cover, TWO!

Roxie crawls but Giulia drags her up. Giulia wrenches, hammerlocks, and scoops! Roxie slips free, THROWS Giulia by her hair, and the ref reprimands. Roxie drags Giulia up to whip her. Giulia holds ropes but Roxie ELBOWS her first! Roxie tags Cora, the evil besties mug Giulia in ropes! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Roxie runs to SHOTGUN! Cora covers, TWO! Giulia is tougher than that but Cora drags her up. Cora whips Giulia, KNEES her low, then whips again. Cora puts Giulia on ropes and runs in, but Giulia dodges! Roll up, TWO! Giulia keeps Cora from her corner with a DROPKICK! Tag to Zaria!

The fans fire up as Zaira stands on Cora’s leg! Cora realizes she’s in trouble! Zaria drags Cora back and lifts her up, BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Cora flounders away, tag to Jacy! Jacy runs up, slips around, but Zaira stops the crucifix to swing and HEADBUTT Jacy! Zaria whips Jacy to ropes, but Jacy ducks ‘n ‘dodges. But Zaria stops the rana! Jacy freaks out, Fallon runs in to save her! The fans boo, but all ten women rush in! Things are tense, the ref tries to calm everyone down, but the brawl is on! The fans love it as we have Jazmyn and Kelani, Jacy and Zaria, Fallon and Jordynne, Cora and Giulia and Roxie and Vaquer!

Jazmyn kicks low, but Kelani TOSSES her! Vaquer bumps Roxie off buckles! Jacy & Fallon literally have Jordynne & Zaria on the ropes, only for Zaria & Jordynne to DUMP them out! Meeting of the minds! The fans fire up, and Giulia coordinates with Vaquer. Much like Halloween Havoc, they run corner to corner to DOUBLE METEORA Cora & Roxie! The fans stay fired up as now Roxie is fed to Zaira & Jordynne! They TOSS Roxie out onto the mean girls! But that’s not all! Kelani goes up to ARIHARA MOONSAULT onto them all!! The fans are thunderous as The Standout’s team stands tall while NXT goes to break.

NXT returns once again and Jacy drags Kelani up in a waistlock. Kelani switches, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Kelani tumbles out of the ring, and now things break down again!

Fireman’s carry and DELTA 5!! Cover, Zaria’s team wins!!

Winners: Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Kelani Jordan, Zaria & Jordynne Grace, by pinfall

Now this is what making an impact looks like! Zaria not only wins for the team, she pins THE NXT Women’s Champion! Will Zaria be looking to face Roxie for Deadline? And what of this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge? Are the rest of her team shoe-ins for spots in that 25 minute marathon?


My Thoughts:

An awesome night for NXT, in part because the 2300 Arena crowd was fired up for everything, as they should be. But it was also just a lot of great stuff. Granted, the moment Nunzio said he was facing Tony for the North American title tonight, I knew that was an easy win for Tony. But I do appreciate Spears & Jensen hanging around. Spears might need more followers than just Jensen if he wants to take on The D’Angelo Family, though. Maybe this story could be the avenue to that. And even then, not sure Spears wins with how hot Tony is going right now. Good promo from Lyons, her and Rizzo will have a great match that I would think Lyons wins.

Great Hardcore match from Lola and Jaida, and Dawn didn’t really get as involved as I expected. She was just a solid ref as Jaida and Lola took it to each other. Great win for Jaida, this definitely keeps her in the title conversation. She might even get in on the Iron Survivor Challenge. Interesting detail is that, per the logo, it is now WWE Deadline, not just NXT Deadline. Does this mean each Iron Survivor has one main roster star each? That’d be pretty cool as those main roster stars won’t win but they can really up the star power and intensity of the matches. Also how great for Rhyno to Gore Stone after Stone runs down Philly.

Great stuff with RVD tonight, though he didn’t do much more than get attacked then distract Wes as payback. Speaking of, great match from Wes and Je’Von, and a great win for Je’Von over a former Tag Team & North American Champion. Feels like Wes and Je’Von will each find their way into the Iron Survivor Challenge so their grudge can play out over the course of 25 minutes. And Fraxiom continues their dysfunction, I feel like they really are going to fall apart before A-Town Down Under with this next tag team championship match. For that matter, if the title match happens before Deadline, Axiom AND Frazer could each get in on the Iron Survivor to really juice it up.

Solid promo from Ethan and Ridge before their match with Trick & Bubba. Ridge getting a roll-up win was a little surprising but a good way to just give him the win without really hurting Trick. And then Ethan taking the brunt of the Dudley Boyz reunion was some good stuff. Trick VS Ridge will be really good, but maybe a little soon. Trick surely can’t be losing this title in only the second defense of his second reign, but that just hurts Ridge because he does deserve to have something of his own.

Very good promo from Lexis with Regal and then Regal with the NQCC. Myles Borne & Tavion Heights is definitely a clever tag team combo, can’t wait to see them get in on that State of the Tag Division address from Ava. And Eddy Thorpe continues to be snubbed, I hope what he’s trying to talk with her about is big cuz otherwise it might be a letdown. Good drama in the Adonis and Karmen story, and interesting how it was Dion, someone Adonis fought with, was the one there talking out the romance drama with him. At this point, it’s just gonna be one of those explosive “And then they kiss!” moments where Karmen just gives in.

Great promos from the ten women in tonight’s main event, and how awesome to have the show bookended by top level women’s wrestling. I had a feeling the Face team would win, but what a great moment for Zaria to not only take out the former TNA Knockout’s (aka Women’s) Champion, but to also pin THE NXT Women’s Champion. And while we all thought Vaquer might move up to the top title, it seems she and Giulia are taking an interesting detour with Meta Four. Feels like Giulia & Vaquer are gonna win that, but maybe there will be tension over how they both want the title. This already makes for a great build to Deadline, can’t wait to see what happens.

My Score: 9/10
