Andrew’s IMPACT Wrestling Turning Point Results & Match Ratings: 11.3.2023

With a show in Newcastle, the Billy GOAT takes on the gaijin pride of Pro Wrestling NOAH! Deonna also gets a third and final chance at trying to take the title off of Trinity! Turning Point is tonight!

Published

on

While the card has a few solid matches without needing the Top 2 belts to be on the line. Will Ospreay and Eddie Edwards could be a sneaky Match of the Year candidate, Trinity vs Deonna 3 with Gail Kim as special guest ref could be solid and nothing really looks bad.

I guess we should just sit back and take in the show. I’m a little curious if Simon Miller is a decent wrestler at all since I haven’t followed his career since WhatCulture stopped being relevant like what…5 years ago?

Ratings:

  • Eric Young & Josh Alexander vs SUBCulture: Josh wins via C4 Spike – *** 1/4
  • Gisele Shaw vs Alex Windsor: Gisele wins via Denouement – ** 3/4
  • Rich Swann vs Trey Miguel: Swann wins via 450 Splash – * 1/2
  • Dani Luna vs Jordynne Grace: Jordynne wins via Juggernaut Driver – *** 1/4
  • Simon Miller vs Joe Hendry: Hendry wins via Standing Ovation – ** 1/2
  • Most Professional Wrestling Gods (Moose & Brian Myers) vs The Futures (Frankie Kazarian & Chris Sabin): Moose wins via Lights Out – *** 1/2
  • Special Guest Referee Gail Kim: Knockouts World Championship: Trinity (c) vs Deonna Purrazzo: Trinity retains via Starstruck – *** 1/4
  • Will Ospreay vs Eddie Edwards: Ospreay wins via Stormbreaker – *****

 

Results:

Eric Young & Josh Alexander vs SUBCulture

After a little slow start, SUBCulture starts to work over Josh’s legs early, which is smart. Takes out his power base for the C4 Spike and any submission attempts. EY tags in, keeps up the pressure but once he gets Webster into the corner, Webster starts fighting out with some quick little flippy moves. This gives Mandrews the chance to tag in, start working the speed kills mentality, but after a short burst we get to Alexander looking for the Kurt Angle German Suplexes. Mandrews blocks the third, a few quick fun moves, Spinebuster from Josh, EY with a Macho Man Elbow and then goes after Webster. Near fall from Josh, then we get Tornado rules for a little bit, all four guys are fighting, and stereo Sharpshooters happen!

The smaller guys break the submissions and back to back Stun Dog Millionaires from Mandrews gives the opening, Shadows over Malice for a 2. Headbutts and Josh throws out Mandrews, EY with the Piledriver, but Mandrews is back in for the save. Doomsday set up attempt, but EY gets sent into the perched Alexander, and a Frankensteiner gives the opening. SUBCulture is rocking and rolling until they misfire Blitz Knee Bop, Power Breaker from Josh into a C4 Spike out of the chaos and Canada wins!

Gisele Shaw vs Alex Windsor

An even start that goes into the dumb simultaneous Dropkick spot and a stare down. Early start was to try and continue to push their history for when Gisele was in RevPro and Progress. Windsor eventually lands the first few shots and then Gisele just dumps her out and starts taking over. Some corner to corner work, grabbing Windsor’s attempted counter by hanging her into the ropes, Enzuigiri into a Draping DDT for a 2 count. Windsor dodges the Denouement, and starts with some intense Lariats to work back into the match.

Windsor goes to the top, Gisele sees it, slides back into the ring after the powder and takes a weird Missile Dropkick spot. Windsor tries a few more haymakers, tosses her into the ropes and Gisele turns it into an Oscutter for 2! Kawada Kicks from Shaw as she tries another Oscutter, but Windsor catches her and turns it into a Blue Thunder Bomb.

Spinning backfist from Gisele, Denouement 2 misses again but she turns it into a step up Rising Knee and then third try is the charm for the Denouement! Gisele gets her first win in what feels like months.

Rich Swann vs Trey Miguel

Trey just lost to goofy ass Grado last night. So if he beats Rich, Rich better be leaving the company because that’s embarrassing.

Very typical counters and staring with chirping Cruiserweight boring open.  Rich finally lands a quick flip kick, but then Trey powders and turns things around when Rich does the dumb babyface thing and follows. Trey jumps on Rich when he tries to beat the 10 count and then throws him back out. This is…lame, even if its decent heel work now, it didn’t start that way. Bad psychology to try and match flippy high risk stuff and then slow it down and be “cheap”.

Rich flips onto the stage when Trey gets a little frustrated, but as soon as Rich flies, a Superkick knocks him out of the air. Trey charges again a few times but Rich catches Trey with a few kicks and that over the shoulder Back Kick for a near fall. Rich pulls Trey over, takes 9 years before his 450 so it was obvious it was going to be countered. Combo Rush from Trey that flourishes with a Double Stomp, but only for 2. Trey goads Rich, tells him to stop being a bitch instead of actually doing something and now we get a lame chop spot.

So stupid chops and slaps leads into a bad rope run leap frog Poison Rana/Superkick, everyone takes a small nap spot. I am so god damn bored with this match. It’s literally just color by numbers lame 205 Live. Lightning Spiral kick out, before of course, now Trey over reacts like a 4 year old who just tasted peas for the first time. Superkick into a 450 Splash for Swann’s win. Lame match with a “controversial” finish since Trey got his shoulder up but the ref didn’t see it. Which means there’s more of this to come…great.

Dani Luna vs Jordynne Grace

Fairly even until Grace up and overs two charges from Dani and Jordynne wins the Shoulder Tackle battle. Dani counters a Powerbomb attempt, hits the ropes quick and as Jordynne sits up, Dani levels her with the Sliding Lariat. Dueling attempts at the Vertical Suplex, Jordynne turns it into a Small Package, but Dani gets up and finally grabs Jordynne and pulls off the Suplex for a near fall. A literally meeting in the middle where they both conk heads and fall back for a little.

They stumble up and strike exchange begins. But this has more fire and intensity than the lame X Division mess we just saw. I thought Dani was gonna go full Shinsuke Nakamura and German Suplex Grace from the Apron over, but when Grace fights back, Dani just grabs her and pulls her between the ropes for the German Suplex. Luna Landing attempt is counter, Grace hops over Dani with a clever way to get into a Kudome Valentine for 2! Grace with a wild swing, Dani back elbow says no, Luna Landing attempt but rapid fire elbows stuns Dani, Jordynne hits her own Backfist and the Juggernaut Driver (formerly Grace Driver) wins the match!

Simon Miller vs Joe Hendry

Hendry starts off with a great mock song of Simon Miller, and the Nickleback Punchline is beautiful. Miller attacks Hendry right as his music goes out, before the bell and before Hendry can talk. Miller starts talking again about doing the first ever live Ups and Downs, but Hendry is already back up and knocks Miller down. Joe kicks at him to stand up and the bell still hasn’t rung. Miller tries to run Hendry around, feint at the slide in to bait out Simon’s elbow drop on nothing and now Hendry is toying with this big idiot.

Hendry hits the chops along with the crowd clapping for him and then a Stalling Suplex that lasts a solid 40 seconds, just to make a point is fantastic. Only a near fall as now Ryback’s bastard British son gets a quick Scoop Slam, spends too much time setting up his next move and Hendry dodges. Miller cheap eye poke, two corner splashes into a Sidewalk Slam for a near fall. Hendry tries to get some space with a flurry of Uppercuts, but Simon cuts him off with a Diving Lariat.

Miller then tries to lock in a Sleeper Hold, but Hendry rises up, spins him around and muscles him over for the Vertical Suplex. Hendry with consecutive Lariats, Sack of Shit from Hendry into a Kip Up. Hendry tries to hype the crowd, Miller powdered to the apron a little and a Jawbreaker/Top Rope Stun Gun opens up Hendry for a Spear. Miller takes too much time, another Spear turned into a Cutter, and now Hendry hits the Miz Kicks for emphasis. Back to Back Flying Shoulder Tackles from Miller, into a Back Body Drop. Miller postures that the match is over but Hendry pops up and Standing Ovation lays out Miller. A little fun, but it was never really close.

Most Professional Wrestling Gods (Moose & Brian Myers) vs The Futures (Frankie Kazarian & Chris Sabin)

Admittedly I got up to go get a drink during intros and it doesn’t look like I missed anything with Kaz and Myers starting. A few basic moves, early tag with Sabin and Kaz for a basic tandem move…but nothing crazy. Myers gets away from Sabin, chastises him and Sabin allows the heel to talk and then tag in Moose. Moose tries to pick at the size difference, but Sabin uses his speed and a quick flying Arm Drag to just get Moose to rethink his attack for a second. Sabin now goes for the Shoulder Tackles for a goofy spot as Moose dusts his shoulders off. Sabin tries to go low and be quick, but when he goes back to the ropes he eats Moose’s Okada Dropkick. Kaz and Sabin double team Moose while Myers is being held off by the ref, double Guillotine Leg Drops for like…a half of one. Myers gets tagged back in after a Manhattan Drop, but Myers gets stuck in the Tree of Woe, and Moose comes in and makes it a Tree of No, but Moose just leaves Myers there as the ref goes to Sabin. Kaz takes Moose off his feet, Sabin shows up Split Leg into the Tree of Woe, then Myers falls off and there’s a 69 in the corner. Hannifan with the comment of the night when he says “Well Moose’s number was…ya know…when he played in the NFL” – Rehwoldt had difficulty staying heel on the commentary with that comment.

After the slightly embarrassing spot, the heels start to take control using their size and a few cheap shots to their advantage. Sabin tries to counter Moose’s Jacknife Powerbomb, but Myers picks the ankle of Kaz and pulls him off the apron right before Sabin can try for the tag. Sabin remains isolated, but a Tornado DDT out of the corner gives Sabin another chance to tag Kaz. Ricky to Robert for the faces, but Myers also gets the tag, but Kaz is rolling, Springboard Leg Drop that Myers dodges but Kaz manages to land on his feet and Slingshot in Myers for the Cutter. Moose tries to get involved, Guillotine for Moose, Myers tries something but Kaz has a DDT for him. Running Elbows from both faces, Russian Leg Sweep into a Flying Kick from Sabin for a 2 until Moose breaks it up. Moose gets the tag in, quick Cross Body on Sabin nearly squashes the man, Kip Up, looking for Lights Out but Cradle attempt no, School Boy second attempt, no, Sabin hits the Code Red and Myers breaks up the pinfall now. Kaz knocks out Myers, Moose counters Kaz’s Chicken Wing attempt, goes for the Cross Body and Kaz catches him with the Cutter for the everybody moment.

Kaz hits a Backstabber on Myers, Slingshot Frankensteiner on the outside for Moose, but Moose blocks and Bombs Kaz into the post. Sabin Punts Moose, Myers takes out Sabin, Roster Cut gets countered but Myers counts the Chicken Wing by going through the ropes bouncing Kaz off and into Lights Out! Moose wins!

Special Guest Referee Gail Kim: Knockouts World Championship: Trinity (c) vs Deonna Purrazzo

Slow chain wrestling start, which makes sense with Deonna, trying to get Trinity on the ground work towards grabbing a limb but Trinity is fighting it off well. Trinity Matrix slide dodge looked good, but the arm drags into the simultaneous stupid Dropkick thing was a little poorly timed as a sequence. So this match isn’t really doing anything early, but it makes sense it will start a little slow since Deonna is a technical wrestler.

More slower work, but Trinity grabs Deonna with her legs in the corner into the Booty Bop Phantom, or whatever she calls that little move. Trinity continues to stay a half step ahead until she slides under the ropes, tries to get back in and eats a Dropkick spilling to the outside. Deonna now starts stomping on Trinity’s left arm, ties it in the ropes, kicks at the rope, Arm Wringer drives into the mat, Key Lock on the left arm. Transitioning from the Key lock to just driving her knees into the extended arm. Trinity uses the corner to pull out a desperation Stunner while favoring her left arm as Deonna cuts her off when she tries to build some steam. Back to a Top Wristlock on the left arm from Deonna, just really good and simple technical heel work.

A few dirty elbows and strikes while Trin is grounded and then a grounding Wristlock gives Trinity a chance to rally back with the crowd support. She gets some space, Deonna charges her but ole happens and Deonna goes flying into the post. Trinity tries to grab Deonna, Stun Gun levels the playing field from Deonna. Deonna crawls back in but Trinity finds her second wind. Rope Assisted Bulldog, a few quick strikes and Rear View for 2! Trinity tries to keep her foot on the gas, Deonna ducks and lands the Pump Kick for 2. Trinity pushes off Purrazzo from continuing the offense and catches her in a Samoan Drop for 2. Side Russian Leg Sweep into Fujiwara from Deonna, but Trin claws for the ropes and gets there. Queen’s Gambit call, Trinity blocks it, Fighting Spirit spot yet again. Trin hits a Scorpion Deathdrop for 2 after getting the best of the strike exchange.

Trin with the Triangle headlock, Queen’s Gambit…but a kick out! Deonna gets in Gail’s face and this is the first real moment we’ve seen involving Gail even a little. Satellite Face Driver from Trinity, Starstruck, but Deonna finds a counter, Trinity hits the Bubba Bomb into another Starstruck and Deonna taps again.

Deonna can no longer challenge for the title if Trinity is champ, Deonna attacks Trinity and then starts pushing around Gail. EAT DA FEET from Gail! I wonder if we’re gonna see a return from Gail. 

Will Ospreay vs Eddie Edwards

The first foreigners to hold the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and GHC Heavyweight Championship respectively. I better see an Emerald Flowsion from one of these guys.

Eddie pushes Ospreay into the ropes, fakes the Chop, but gives the clean break. Ospreay goads at the attempted mind games, and now its Ospreay’s turn to push into the ropes. Eddie gets annoyed at Ospreay’s feint, a few Chops into Ospreay’s lightning quick rope runs, Frankensteiner take down and now Eddie is getting worked over a bit. Ospreay plays with the crowd chants and then eats a chop from Eddie but asks for more as he returns the chops with one kick that shakes Eddie.

Manhattan Drop from Eddie, shove into the ropes, Release Overhead Belly to Belly and now we’re seeing some control from Eddie. Big corner chop from Eddie, then he mocks Will with a Cartwheel, proving he’s athletic as well, but keeps Ospreay grounded. Continuous cover attempts from Eddie trying to wear down Ospreay. Ospreay tries to fight out, but a Headbutt says no, but they both cut each other off a few times, and Ospreay hits the Back Handspring Twisting Kick to regain control. Phenomenal Forearm from the top rope by Eddie, tries a Tiger Driver, countered, throats Eddie, then a Big Boot, now a simple Plancha from Ospreay. Thank Christ, Ospreay 5 years ago would’ve forced a Space Flying Tiger Drop, but I appreciate the Marufuji Style Plancha.

Back in the ring, quick strike and then hints for the Hidden Blade, but Eddie powders. Drives Ospreay’s back into the apron, frying pan Chop, rolls Ospreay back in and yells at the crowd. Eddie is getting far to distracted by the crowd, Ospreay tries to counter, but an Enzuigiri into the Backpack Stunner gives him a two count. This crowd is wonderfully getting on Eddie and it seems to be bugging him in the ring. Ospreay rises up to his knees and asks for some Chops. Eddie’s Chops are no joke, only Go Shiozaki has harder chops than Eddie. Ospreay blocks, looks for an Oscutter, but gets Chopped in the back and then pulls off a Stundog Millionaire so smoothly it’s scary.

Billy Goat fires himself up, Yakuza Kick, Cheeky Nandos and Eddie is reeling. Top rope for Ospreay, but Eddie cuts him off, looks for an Avalanche Reverse Powerslam, but Will fights it off, Spiral Tap misses but he lands on his feet and turns it into a Running Spanish Fly, kick combination, Oscutter with some great height and only a 2 count. Stormbreaker counter, Suplex Counter, Hook Kick ala Marufuji from Ospreay, Blue Thunder Bomb from Eddie, rolls through, Boston Knee Party miss, Hidden Blade hits and then Eddie hits the desperation Knee Party for them to both lay out for a while.

Crawling Headbutts initiate the next exchange, both dudes look wrecked but no one is giving just yet. Eddie peppers a Chop in, Ospreay returns Kawada Kicks, Kobashi vs Kawada right now, Stormbreaker gets countered and now we see the Misawa homage with Eddie hitting the Tiger Driver for a 2. Eddie exposes his knee for a final Boston Knee Party, but first he’s just driving some short knees into Ospreay’s chest. Set up for the Knee Party, but a Flying Hidden Blade says no. Eddie gets back up, Ospreay flies through the Lariat, Styles Clash! Legit Hidden Blade from Ospreay, Stormbreaker for the win!

Little mad no one pulled off a Flowsion, but it was damn good. 

Overall Score: 7.5/10

Ospreay trolls beautifully in his post match promo, but after the troll he makes a rather eloquent point. There’s probably a greater than Zero percent chance TNA lands Will Ospreay, but with the way he’s gone hellbent for election with his body through his career; and he would rather burn out than fade away – I still think he’s a better fit for WWE’s safer style. Don’t really want to see him go the way of Dynamite Kid.

But aside from that, with the exception of Swann and Trey, which looked half speed, uninspired and just like generic garbage; the show was pretty damn good. The last few matches delivered, Simon and Hendry was fun, the tag matches were good and of course the Billy Goat proving he’s untouchable right now. Pretty fantastic with the little homages and wrinkles in the main event match, Ospreay was technically the home grown talent and the biggest name on the card…so it makes sense why he went over. Really good stuff, now can they just spin this into decent hype for Final Resolution and then the swan song the Impact Wrestling – because TNA is only about 2 months away from returning!

Really good show!

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25

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

Published

on

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.

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:

The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”

Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!

Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?

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?

 

8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!

What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?

Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!

Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.

Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up.

Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!

Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!

The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV!

The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!

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.

My Score: 8.7/10
