Now we all heard the news about the TNA change in hierarchy, and I…have no positive outlook on that. Delirious sucked at booking and creative in the dying days of ROH before it got bought as a B show. Dreamer having even more control is concerning because his ideas the last two years haven’t been much better.

Gail leaving makes more sense to me. Be it firing or a “you can’t quit, you’re fired” kind of situation, the Knockouts division is the worst it’s been in a long time and Gail was close with Scott D’Amore. So I don’t think Gail parting ways is as big of a problem since TNA has slowly been bleeding out with the Scott faithful.

Granted, I think the next few shows were already taped before the firing so things shouldn’t be completely unwatchable for at least a week or two. So let’s see where we’re going.

Results:

Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley vs Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge

Ash and Gigi start off, Gigi with a little Rascalz after her first takedown. So both her and Wentz are making it obvious something’s going on between them, and I’m not mad at it. Good for my man Wentz.

Tatum and Gigi get some quick tandem offense in, Ash does manage to scurry off to a tag and Heather gets bent into a Pretzel. Some kind of Inverted Tarantula from Tatum, Gigi tags in, Bronco Buster on Heather followed by Kawada Kicks. Heather sells against the ropes, Gigi goes for a Hesitation Dropkick, but Concierge pulls her away so Gigi crashes and burns. Ref is distracted, Ash gets in some cheap shots and then the Elegant duo starts working over Gigi. A few quick tags, but once Heather comes in, Gigi fights out of the corner, gets the hot tag to Tatum. Tatum stacks up both Elegance members, Corner Stacked Crossbody, Butterfly Suplex and an Elbow Drop with some some flare. Tatum goes to the top rope, Heather pulls Gigi off the apron, Concierge shoves Tatum off the turnbuckle and Ash hits Rarefied Air for the win.

Post match the Elegance Clique wants to make their wish with the cake, they light the candles and Tatum and Gigi recover enough to do what we all expected last week, the cake in the face spot. Some…suggestive licking from both of our Hot Topic Hotties, so…no complaints here. 

.@Ashamae_Sebera, @Heathereckless and @IamGeorgeIceman are having a meltdown!

Fir$t Cla$$ & Frankie Kazarian vs Laredo Kid, Octagon Jr & Chavo Guerrero Jr

Chavo and Kaz start since he’s King Petty, a quick rope run turns into a Headscissor from Chavo. Kaz recovers, they lock up, Kaz hits the Knee Lift during the lock up to tag out to KC. KC pulls off some athletic dodges, gloats a bit so Chavo waits, measures and nails a gorgeous Dropkick. Laredo comes in on fire, quick high spots that send KC bouncing around like HBK against Hulk. KC powders after sells the Satellite Takedown, AJ checks on him and we go to commercial.

Back from commercial, Octagon is lighting up KC’s chest with overhand chops, he perches, Sunset Headscissor Flip from corner to corner, KC tries to Back Drop him but Octagon does a headstand, kicks KC away and lays him out with a high spot. AJ gets on the apron to stop Octagon from running the ropes, the referee has a stroke or something because he stops paying attention and AJ pulls Octagon out of the ring and chucks him. KC with the Tope con Hilo and tag (tag ropes haven’t mattered since the 80s we all know this). So AJ is getting taunted by the crowd in Spanish, but he’s manhandling Octagon since it looks like a Child fighting their parent. AJ knocks off Chavo and Laredo, Laredo pops up and tries to get involved but he’s caught on the shoulders, Octagon goes for the Crossbody but gets caught and AJ pulls off “World’s Strongest Wasteland” but Chavo breaks up the pinfall. AJ throws Octagon into the corner, Tennessee Whiskey, and tag out to KC. KC hits a few moves, but starts to lose the momentum until he connects with a Super Kick. Simultaneous rope run into the Dueling Crossbodies, so we get the timely tag outs from both sides. Kaz and Laredo come in, Laredo lands like two moves before Kaz hits a Sole Butt, Lariat and eats his lunch. KC and Kaz try to double team Laredo but he fights out and the crowd is chanting for Chavo.

Chavo tags in, and he’s rocking KC, Saito Suplex, Low Bridge to AJ, Reverse the Whip so Chavo goes to the corner and perches, KC feeds, Chavo Backflips to safety, rolls through and lays out KC. Chavo is feeling himself, 3 Amigos start on KC but only 2, Kaz comes in and Chavo switches to Kaz for the Amigos, only 2 again before AJ breaks it up. AJ goes for the disrespect, but Chavo counters and hits the 3 Amigos on the biggest Culero. Aztec Warriors dive to stop AJ and Kaz, KC tries a Dirty Victory Roll but Chavo kicks out. GORY BOMB into FROG SPLASH!

Chavo looked fantastic and he’s the one in the best shape in the ring. I wouldn’t be mad at more Chavito. 

Jacy Jayne vs Masha Slamovich

I expect very little from this match.

Collar and Elbow, gator rolling for the first 30 seconds or so, then Jacy goes to some Hair Pull takedowns and does a little taunt before Masha pops back up and hits a Lariat into a Dive. Jacy sells it like she’s really hurt, even the ref tries to hold Masha back a little before Masha gets annoyed and just grabs her, Masha throws her in, looks for a Dive and Jacy sees it and powders. Masha tries to go back to the well for the Dive again but Jacy hits the Uppercut and then an Apron Run PK to drop Masha. Forearms rain down into a Foot Choke as Jacy continues to arrogantly play to the crowd. Another Foot Choke into a Cannonball, and near fall.

Masha gets space with a Sole Butt, tries to snap off Requiem but Jacy fights off, fights through a Sunset Flip another effective PK keeps Masha on her ass. Jacy looks for a kinda half-assed Camel Clutch as Masha is fighting up, but Jacy runs her into the corner, gets distracted mouthing off to the crowd, so Masha recovers, 5 Hole Up Kick sends Jacy into the corner, Yakuza Kick into Capo Kick for two. Requiem attempt again, but Jacy pushes off, a little back and forth, Masha tries a Backslide but Jacy gets away and hits a V-Trigger but only a 2 count. Jacy looks for the Discus Punch but Masha ducks it, they strike back and forth, but some dodges from both leave the exchange more even. Jacy with the Front Kick to the face sends Masha to the outside. Jacy wants another PK, but Masha blocks, Electric Chair Apron Snake Eyes. Masha throws her in, a PK into a near all. Requiem attempt 3, and thwarted from Jacy with a Superkick into a Neckbreaker. Senton misses from Jacy, Buzzsaw Kick, into Spinning Back Kick and Russian Death Device for the win.

Better than I expected, and Tessa attacks as soon as the bell rings. Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Li make the save after Tessa grabs the belt. 

Eric Young w/two losers vs Ace Austin

Ace and Eric tie up, World of Sport start but as soon as Ace starts to get away EY punches him in the face. Eric looks at the camera and says “This is what trust looks like”, turns his back on Ace, when Ace looks to attack, the loser duo cut him off. EY takes advantage of the weird situation, but Ace with some Up and Over quick spots, into an Inside Cradle and La Magistral. EY kicks out of the quick flash attempts, but eats a Dropkick, and Ace goes all Speed Kils on him with fast strikes and then a face buster for another near fall. Strike spot very early in the match, Ace gets the best of it, goes for a Tear Drop Suplex but EY sits on it to block, Headlocks to keep him close and then a snap Lariat into beatdown bully tactics. EY takes the referee’s attention and one of the nerds punch Ace in the face.

Eric tries to lean on Ace, but Ace fires, a few strikes, Click Click Boom, the Miz Seated Lariats in the corner, Mochizuki Triangle Kick connects! Only a 2 count, but Ace seems to be in control. Ace puts EY on the ropes, a few strikes to keep him rocked, wants a Superplex, but EY blocks, bites the face and Macho Elbow gets a very close two count. EY tries the Piledriver but Ace turns it into a Jacknife Cradle,Spinning Heel Kick, calls for The Fold, but the losers hop on the apron to distract, Ace attacks them. Ace tries to time out the Triangle Kick again, but Eric dodges, throws Ace head first through the buckles. As Ace stumbles out of the corner, Piledriver, and it’s over.

Oh look it’s the “we’ll hear from Joe Hendry” segment. Again, I’ve loved this gimmick since Day 1, even didn’t hate his What Culture Pro stuff, but there is such a thing as milking a cow too much. 

Elijah interrupts the whole “Who’s next” speech. When Elijah comes out he says he’s not the challenger and he believes in Joe. The crowd wants Elijah to turn on Hendry. Elijah pauses for a moment, and starts proving his friendship with stating his favorite color and a little “You Got a Friend in Me”. The crowd is into singing along and waving their cameras like Lighters to a 30 year old song. THANKFULLY Kaz breaks up the hug fest. Now he gets the “Culero” chant. 

Kaz pulls out a Bass…what the hell is this Jam Session. Kaz has to warm up so he plays “La Cucaracha” on the bass. Kaz…is a national treasure. Hendry kicks Kaz out of the ring after his Heelish and playfully racially charged song choices. Kaz tries to sow dissension, but Joe and Elijah pinball Kaz between them. Kaz slips a power move and tries to shove Elijah into Joe but Elijah puts the brakes on, a small tense moment. But then Joe and Elijah play “Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Goodbye”…and that goes right into a commercial. Oddly…perfect.

Nic Nemeth w/Ryan Nemeth vs Leon Slater

Nic shoots the half immediately for a flash pinfall but Leon kicks out at one. Nic continues to keep things grounded with his amateur wrestling skills, and then does a little Dolph Ziggler show off. So Nic isn’t really taking this seriously, and Leon starts getting the best of things with an Arm Wringer, into drag, Shoulder Tackle and rope run as Nic tries to Leap Frog and Leon puts on the brakes and just shoves Nic on his ass. Nic gets annoyed, a few strikes, grinds his face along the ropes, but Leon keeps stringing some offense together, Back Handspring Elbow into his Corner con Hilo.

Ahh the classic formula of the commercial gives the heel the advantage, Twisting Suplex from Leon stops Nic’s offense momentum, right hand, Leon lifts Nic up for something, Nic slips it, kicks him in the gut, looks for the FameAsser, but Leon catches him into a Blue Thunder Bomb variation. Slater wants the Swanton 450, but Nic powders. Leon tries to adjust into a Dive, but Nic cuts him off, counter for counter and a FameAsser out of the counters for a two count. Nic starts the big brother tactics, bootwashes and arrogance, Slater fires, punches into a Yakuza Kick. Leon wants another Lethal Injection variant, but Nic catches him into a Rear Naked Choke. Slater tries to turn it into a pin so Nic breaks it. Leon wants a Leg Lariat but misses and gets unceremoniously dropped by Nic. Nic puts Leon up on the buckles, Superplex possibly but Slater counters, tries to collect himself for a move, but Nic falls into the ropes to crotch Leon, and finally hits the Superplex.

Twist of Slate from Leon, Swanton 450 but knees get up. Locomotion Cradles from both but they kick out, Ryan picks the ankle to trip up Leon just a touch and then Danger Zone ends the match.

Ryan starts the post match beatdown, but the Hardy’s music hits and they come down to the ring for the save. Matt challenges the Nemeths for Rebellion because they’re not medically cleared yet.

Overall Score: 6.5/10

Decent story motion, no match was offensive, and there was actually some solid match action for television standards. I don’t have a ton to complain about aside from the Knockouts Division is in a weird spot, and giving Hendry a lot of just talking and hollow payoff segments feels stupid. If we need to hear from him every week, give him a talk segment like Highlight Reel or something. Yes I know First Class just got The Penthouse, but if Hendry is going to talk more than wrestle, give him a talk segment for us to sink our teeth into.

There was the announcement that Xia, Lei Ying and Masha will face Tessa, Jacy and a mystery partner. So you gotta wonder if there’s going to be another NXT mercenary, a surprise return or if it’ll just be Rosemary since she’s got her issues with Xia. Also I just realized that Unbreakable is going to be on a Thursday, seemingly after iMPACT? I’m gonna have to see how they do it, because if there’s an Impact episode and 2-3 hour PLE…I do not want to be awake until 1am. People need to work, and I will be Unwakeable if things go that long.

PLAY BY PLAY

Athena talks with Diamante.

The Fallen Goddess tells the Cuban Diamond, “Tonight is going to be very, very crucial to you joining MIT. I just don’t take people barging their way into my group, my prestigious academy.” Billie Starkz walks in and says hi to “Boss” Athena and “Di,” but Athena ignores her to continue explaining that this is Diamante’s initiation. This is a test to see if- Billie pokes Athena in the shoulder and Athena asks, “Yes?” Billie says hi, and Athena says cool. Anyway, this is going to test if Diamante has what it takes to be part of the Forever Champion’s MIT. Diamante says sure. Billie keeps wanting Athena’s attention and Athena asks what she wants.

Billie motions as if to say she’s expecting something, and Athena says, “What? You want me to say, ‘Hi, Billie. You’ve been doing so great. You’ve been busy, busy being a busy bee meddling in everyone’s business.’ Tonight, it’s not about you. We’ve been there, we’ve done that. And it’s time that we bring something… new to MIT.” Billie says that’s great. Athena says tonight, they don’t need Billie. She can go meddle in someone else’s business. Athena & Diamante leave and Billie is shocked that she’s being left out. Is Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths being further demoted?

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Willie Mack VS Johnny TV & MXM Collection!

The Sons of Texas are getting a bit tired of Mansoor & Mason Madden obsessing over the ROH World Tag Team Championships, but they have to go one more round with them and their new pal. But they’re not clowning around, because they’re bringing the Chocolate Juggalo along! Will Mack help The Natural & The Spanish God shine? Or will they not be #TVReady?

The trios sort out and Mack starts against Johnny. The fans rally, Johnny and Mack circle, and they keep the Code of Honor. They circle and tie up, and Mack powers Johnny back.

The ref is busy with Sammy & Mack so he missed that, and fans boo as Mansoor stomps away. Tag to Mason, he CHOKES Dustin on the ropes, and the ref counts. Mason stops at 4 to talk trash on Mack.

The CMLL Women’s Tag Team Championships have laid vacant, but Mrs. TV and the Coolest Wrestler You Know made it through the tournament of six matches in just a week!

AEW shares The Learning Tree’s message from Dynamite.

Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.

“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!

Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 10 days?

The Dark Order VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!

While Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds could not get Preston Vance to see what he’s become, the former Number 10 did have a painfully true observation about how the Numbers have dwindled. But can Uno & Reynolds prove there is still strength in the Numbers? Or is the Dark Order all but done?

And of course “Smart” Mark has to cut Bobby Cruise off. “Everybody knows that this is Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese! The Premier Athletes are very excited to be at The Theater in the Virgin Hotel. Which is ironic, because we’re also in a theater full of virgins! But that’s okay, because some day, you will get your chance. We believe in you!” Wait a minute, Preston & The Frat House are watching from the crowd. If they’re to be believed, none of them fit that description. But Sterling says tonight is everyone’s chance to be part of this winning team! (They have almost no wins, though…) When Sterling says, “Athletes!” you say “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE!

“Hands in, boys. Ohh… Athletes!” “SUCK!” The Frat House also joined in on that, and Jacked Jameson can’t believe The Premier Athletes are that stupid to fall for that again. Finally, Uno & Reynolds make their entrance, and the Frat House talk trash on them, too. The Code of Honor is kept, but then The Athletes kick low! The bell rings, Daivari bumps Uno off buckles while Nese does the same with Reynolds. The Athletes rain down fists, then climb up to shout, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Vegas has spoken, and then The Dark Order YANK The Athletes down! Daivari & Nese hit buckles on the way down, and Dark Order coordinates.

Uno & Reynolds run corner to corner, Uno ELBOWS Nese while Reynolds LARIATS Daivari! The Dark Order goes again, ELBOW for Daivari and LARIAT for Nese! They want a third time, but the Athletes dodge! Nese & Daivari run in, but now Dark Order dodges, and they get that third round of ELBOW and LARIAT in! The fans fire up for the JAWBREAKER into the BACKBREAKER into the DDT! Cover, TWO! Nese is tougher than that and The Frat House talk all kinds of trash. Nese ROCKS Reynolds from the apron, but Reynolds BOOTS him down! The fans rally and Reynolds builds speed, only for Daivari to trip him up!

Reynolds BOOTS Daivari, but Nese LARIATS Reynolds out! Sterling cheers, the ref is busy keeping Uno back, so Sterling & The Athletes all stomp away on Reynolds! The Athletes get away with all that, then Nese puts Reynolds in. Cover, TWO! Reynolds stays in this but Nese stands Reynolds up to bump him off buckles. Tag to Daivari, but Reynolds fires back! The Athletes mug Reynolds, the ref counts, and “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Still not learning their lesson… Daivari drags Reynolds up and bumps him off buckles. Daivari CHOPS, then whips corner to corner hard! Tag to Nese, and the mugging continues.

The ref counts, Daivari pushes Reynolds down at 4, then Nese scuffs Reynolds. Nese eggs Reynolds on, the fans rally up, and Nese mocks them. But Reynolds CHOPS! Nese keeps Reynolds from Uno, but Reynold ROCKS Nese! Nese keeps Reynolds back, then slips around to BLAST Uno! The fans boo, but Reynolds BACKDROPS Nese! Nese tags Daivari, he runs in but into a BOOT! Reynolds goes up, but Daivari SHOVES him down hard! Reynolds clutches his leg, Daivari distracts the ref, and that lets Nese attack Uno and Sterling stomp Reynolds! The fans boo, The Frat House is having fun either way, and the Athletes get away again.

Daivari stands Reynolds up to CHOP! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Wait, did Frat House say “RULE” this time? Where do their allegiances lie? Or are they just drunk? Daivari drags Reynolds over, tags Nese, and Nese stomps away on Reynolds. Tag to Daivari, the Athletes stomp Reynolds more, but Reynolds CHOPS back! Daivari KNEES and CLUBS low, then holds Reynolds up. Nese runs up but Reynolds BOOTS him! Reynolds fights back but gets mugged all over again! The Athletes DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX, but Reynolds lands out! Hot tag to Uno! Uno dodges Daivari, BOOTS Nese, then he fires off CHOPS on them both!

The Athletes mug Uno, double whip, but Uno ducks to feint the lariats, and he DOUBLE DDTS! The fans fire up and Uno feeds off that energy! Uno tags in Reynolds, and The Dark Order has Daivari up! Spin and SUPERKICK, into a Gory Especial and GORY BOMB CODE BREAKER! Cover, Nese breaks it! Uno runs up to swing on Nese, but Nese dodges to mule kick, knee lift, and SUPERKICK! Reynolds runs up, Nese throat chops him! Nese has Reynolds for forearms, then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT PLANCHA! Down goes Uno! Nese drags Uno up to whip him into steel steps! The fans rally as Daivari storms up on Reynolds.

Daivari fires a forearm, but Reynolds fires back! They go back and forth, faster and faster, but then Daivari knees low! Daivari whips, Reynolds reverses and sends Daivari to the apron! Reynolds avoids the shoulder to GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Daivari falls, Nese hurries to his side, but Reynolds DIVES onto them both! The fans fire up, but then The Frat House throw their drinks at Reynolds! Reynolds is furious but Vance mockingly says, “My bad.” Nese runs up, but Reynolds THROWS him at the Frat House! The fans fire up as Reynolds hits a strike! Sterling complains, but Reynolds chases him off! Reynolds goes to the ring and brings Daivari up.

Daivari throat chops! Daivari wrenches, hammerlocks, but Reynolds ducks the lariat to kick low! Sterling gets on the apron, the ref stops him, but Daivari takes a swing on Reynolds! Reynolds ducks again, and he rolls Daivari up! But the ref isn’t there to count! Reynolds would’ve won this twice over by now! And now The Frat House sneaks up to ringside! Vance slides in and SPINEBUSTERS Reynolds! Daivari goes up, CARPET RIDE SPLASH! Cover, Premier Athletes win!!

Winners: The Premier Athletes, by pinfall

It took a huge assist from Vance, but the Athletes finally won! They still suck, but will The Dark Order change targets and tear down The Frat House?

ROH hears from Paul Walter Hauser.

In an interview with TMZ, PWH spoke on the highly inappropriate behavior of QT Marshall during the Revolution Zero Hour. QT didn’t just throw his drink on PWH, he threw an alcoholic drink on PWH, who is in a sobriety program and has been sober for three years. And from what PWH understands, QT doesn’t even drink alcohol himself, so QT went the extra mile just to insult PWH! PWH says that is messed up. But if QT wants a fight, well, who cares if he’s a trained wrestler and PWH isn’t? PWH will still kick QT’s ass!

Backstage interview with QT Marshall.

Renee Paquette talks with the man in question and brings up the issue QT has with PWH. She was there when QT threw that drink on PWH, and QT claims that’s not what happened. She explains about how PWH has been three years sober and QT threw alcohol on him. Now PWH wants to fight QT! QT says none of that happened. Paul Walter Hauser is a fan, QT was being nice to a fan. QT gave PWH a chance to lock up, they did, and what does PWH do? He puts QT in a headlock! QT has six screws in his neck. Worse than that, PWH was trying to embarrass QT. But this is Hollywood, and when you try to embarrass someone, you get something thrown at you.

The fact the cup had alcohol in it is not QT’s problem, he was taking that drink to throw it out. But if you ask QT, PWH owes him the apology. He wants a match? PWH wants to step into the ring with QT Marshall? Stop whining to TMZ and the Hollywood Reporter. Just come here to QT’s world, look him in the eye, and ask him! If PWH shows QT the respect he deserves, there’s a chance PWH gets what he’s looking for. QT thanks Renee and heads out, but will QT’s massive ego be his DOOM?
