Andrew’s TNA Emergence Results & Match Ratings: 8.30.2024
Emergence is a TNA+ App Event live from Louisville. The event is sold out, we’re gonna get a few unknown aspects to the card and here’s to hoping at least one belt changes hands!
So I obviously missed the announcement prior to the yesterday’s article, but TNA are doing away with their YouTube “Insiders” package to watch the weekly iMPACT! episode. That probably explains why the YouTube versions have had commercial cuts the last few weeks. I find it hilarious that every time TNA gets momentum with Digital Media avenues to watch their product, they run away from it. Twitch was a way for the show to stay relevant during the Callis/D’Amore initial reign, now they are making it so you can only watch the show on AXS or their app. Given the fact that cable is getting less and less relevant, and everything becoming an 8-15 dollar streaming service…you are really pigeonholing your audience. If lame storytelling and booking wasn’t already killing some of the resurrection hype; further limiting how people can watch won’t do any favors.
With all that said, I’ve been fairly uninterested in this show. So I’ll cover the Countdown stuff hoping that something happens to make me start caring or seem interesting for a story.

Results:
Countdown to Emergence – Frankie Kazarian vs Kushida
Match not really born out of much beyond the Ultimate X qualifier and Frankie heeling it up after his loss.
Back and forth early on, Shotei from Kushida, but Kaz shrugs it off Scoop Slam into the Springboard Guillotine Leg Drop for an early 2. Kushida tries to fire back with Chops after the kick out, but a Drop Toe Hold into the bottom buckle stops Kushi. Irish Whip, Kushida tries the Up and Over, Kaz catches him, tries the Fade to Black, but Kushida slips it and they start vying for position. Kaz locks in a Headlock and goes for the heel slow down the High Flier thing, but Kushida raises up, works to the corner, Flatliner into the buckles from Kushida gives him an opening. Whip, into Arm Drag, Cartwheel Dropkick and Kushida starts hunting for a Hoverboard Lock, but Kaz fights it off and they start countering into submissions a few times before Kushida connects with an Enzuigiri. Kaz slowly stands up, Kushida tries the Back Handspring Elbow, but Kaz catches him with the Backstabber into the Chicken Wing. After a little bit in the hold, Kushida finds a way out, rolls back, turns it into a Prawn Hold but Kaz kicks out. As he comes up, he eats a Tanaka Punch for his troubles. Kaz powders, Kushida follows and falls victim to the Guillotine. Kaz goes to the top rope, Kushida cuts him off, tries the Avalanche Hoverboard Lock but Kaz slips it and runs to the outside. Kushida with the dive and slaps on the Hoverboard Lock on the outside as the referee breaks it apart. Kaz runs into the ring, Kushida follows as the ref fixes the ring skirt, Kaz kicks the middle rope to Low Blow Kushida on the way in, and Fade to Black gives the King the win.
So we find out that even though First Cla$$ has a title shot, Rich Swann can’t compete. So KC Navarro is the fill in First Cla$$ member. I do enjoy Navarro’s work, but I find it odd that he’s the TNA fill in guy when something goes sideways.
Countdown to Emergence – Digital Media & International Heavyweight Championship: PCO (c) w/SDL vs Shera
Cardona chose…Shera? Really? Give me a break, I still remember when he was the dancing job boy and every subsequent incarnation may dance less but ends up jobbing just as much.
PCO attacks Shera before his entrance is even finished. Good, end this quickly, no one wants to see Shera. Shera is just Indian Jake Something, he looks impressive but he’s booked to look more useless than diet water (look it up, its a thing). Shera mouths off to SDL, this makes PCO charge at him, he moves and PCO stops himself from colliding into his bride. So Shera has the advantage, but it’s just punches, Spinebuster, punches a weird running Elbow and oh look…stomps. Shera has the moveset of a create-a-character with an overall of 6. PCO sits up, Corner splash, DDT and then Shera powders and PCO goes for his Middle Rope Cannonball, but its a little short, but Shera sells it like it hit and PCO gets up. So at least no one is hurt.
PCO puts Shera on the apron, hits the Deanimator, and SDL seems to enjoy PCO’s masochistic moveset. Shera is rolled in, PCO and SDL play to the crowd, then the slowest set up for the PCO-Sault ever, but Shera still doesn’t move and retains. Awful match, plodding pace, missed spots, slow spots and an awful “surprise monster” with Shera. Felt like a classic carny bait and switch.
X Division Championship: Ultimate X Match: Speedball Mike Bailey (c) vs Zachary Wentz vs Riley Osborne vs Hammerstone vs Jason Hotch vs Laredo Kid
Dive happy Dive time to start with, runs around, Hotch ends up getting the final dive and the crowd responds well for him. He’s definitely the most talented of the Good Hands and this could be a start to his solo career. Hammer gets in and shoves Hotch into next week, Bailey tries to chop down the Hammer tree but he absorbs the kicks and rocks Bailey. Little back and forth, Bailey Low Bridge but Hammer lands on his feet, Bailey tries a Plancha, Hammer catches him and just throws him through the middle rope. Everyone starts getting involved and we get an apron side Tower of Doom that lands on Hammerstone.
Back in the ring, Riley is on the top turn buckle to try and climb but Wentz cuts him off and hits an Avalanche Cutter! Wentz starts climbing the truss, Bailey meets him and then Hotch and Hammer try to pull them down, but their kicked away. Wentz and Bailey brawl, a few good kicks from Wentz sends Bailey Moonsaulting into the pile of people. Wentz starts his crawl and the others recover and work across the ropes to stop Wentz. Everyone is up there, car crash knocking each other down and Hammer is the last one hanging. He tries to reach the belt with his free hand but gets pulled down by the smaller guys. It’s like Piranha engulfing a Shark.
Bailey goes on a kicking spree to everyone but Wentz meets him with kicks and rocks Bailey with the Handspring Knee Lift. Wentz powders, Hammer Belly to Belly Suplexes Riley to the outside on Bailey and then throws Laredo into the pile of people. Hammer poses, looks to climb but in comes Hotch with the Low Blow! Has Hammer on his shoulders, Torture Rack Bomb! Laredo Kid recovers and cuts off Hotch. Laredo with the Frankensteiner, Riley sneaks to the cables, Hammer, Laredo and Hotch are in the ring to stop him, Laredo swings him and Riley hits the Shooting Star ala AJ Styles! Bailey connects with Ultima Weapon on Riley, Wentz and Bailey crawl across opposite sides. Bailey’s leg strength helps him survive Wentz’s attacks, but Bailey does the silly thing by trying to attack with his legs and Wentz kicks his hands away, Bailey falls and WENTZ FUCKING WINS! WENTZ IS X DIVISION CHAMPION!
Aside from my obvious bias for the Wentz winning, it was a solid Ultimate X match. They’re supposed to be spectacles, the call back with the AJ Shooting Star spot and making history with the first signed WWE Wrestler involved in the match is very cool. It was the correct match to kick off the show with.
Steve Maclin vs Eric Young
They stare at each other for about 30 seconds, go for a Collar and Elbow, then shrug it off and glare at each other. The spot repeats a few times, and it’s a solid tension being expressed in the early going. Going as far to trade similar strike spots until EY drags Maclin’s face across the top rope and Maclin fires through it and connects with an Angle Slam. Maclin whips EY, Flair Corner Flip, Maclin tries to cut the walk off but EY pops him, Five Hole slide back into the ring and clocks Maclin leading to a Death Valley Driver. EY looks for the Moonsault, but Maclin crotches him, then Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs for 2! Maclin really focuses on EY’s back, Back Breaker, Clubbing Blows to the back, another Tree of Woe and a second Caught in the Crosshairs! They stand up, trade right hands, but Maclin seems to get he best of things, whip into a rope run from both and mirrored Crossbody spot.
EY says come on, puts his hands behind his back and lets Maclin reel back and level him. EY fires up, Maclin puts his hands behind his back and gets rocked. This is a Western Fighting Spirit spot done correctly. Maclin fires they go nose to nose, Hockey Fight, Busaiku Knee and EY powders. Maclin goes for the SCUD and eats ramp instead! Thrown back in, EY tries for the Macho Man Elbow but Maclin cuts him off. Avalanche KIA attempt, a bite and punch say no, Macho Elbow! Tries the Piledriver but Maclin drivers EY into a corner, off the ropes EY catches him in Piledriver position, Maclin fights it off once, but EY tries again and connects! It takes EY a half second too long to go for the cover and Maclin kicks out. Piledriver attempt again, but Maclin Double Legs EY and Jacknife Cover… MACLIN WINS!
Now EY knows how it feels to lose to a flash pinfall. Serves him right. EY mean mugs Maclin the whole time, grabs him up to his feet and – extends his hand. The two shake hands and EY walks away.
Masha Slamovich, Alisha Edwards & ASH by Elegance vs Dani Luna, Jody Threat & Jordynne Grace
Bell rings, all six brawl, heels are thrown out and the babyfaces go for dives. Jordynne looks like she’s prepping her dive, but Lish seems knocked out and Jody and Dani let Jordynne and the ref know, the docs are out tending to Lish on the apron, but there was no X thrown. Tommy does end up carrying Lish to the back, while Spitfire and Jordynne go for a triple Hart Attack variant. ASH and Masha do a good job at fighting through the now Handicap match, and still doing hell spots. Jordynne does manage to hit the Kinniku Buster on Masha, but ASH breaks up the pin. Jody tags in, Pump Kick sends Masha to the middle rope to set up for Jody’s Double Knees + German Suplex spot. Masha does manage to hit a desperation T-Bone Suplex sending Jody crashing into the corner and tags in ASH. ASH with a few Facebusters, Rarefied Air attempt, but Jody moves, Dani and Jordynne take out Masha and Pop Shove It pins ASH.
Lish’s injury obviously made things weird, but its a worthless match anyway. Jordynne beating ASH yesterday doesn’t give ASH any real claim and the tag belts are a waste of match time.
TNA World Tag Team Championships: First Cla$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs The ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey) (c)
AJ tries to go for the Test of Strength with Ace since he’s bigger, but Ace just slaps him, AJ Scoop Slam and Ace tags out to Bey. Bey tries a few things to work AJ down, but AJ shrugs him off, Bey catches him with a Gamengiri, chuckles and tries to play the speed versus power thing…but AJ stops Bey with a big Shoulder Block. KC gets tagged in, drops Bey and rips his shirt off and plays to the crowd. Bey slowly gets up and Chops KC across the now exposed chest. So a little bit of a comedy shock spot, but then we get solid Cruiserweight action.
Bey counters a Lariat from KC, catches it, grabs him around in and drops the Backbreaker, tags in Ace and get a little tandem MCMG and Hardyz flavored offense in there. Poetry in Motion, Drop Toe Hold on KC, then Double Foot Stomps. AJ tries to finally get involved, Bey shakes him off, KC tries to take advantage of the distraction but Bey moves and KC dives into AJ’s arms. KC eventually takes advantage of all the chaos, AJ tags in, and chants of “you can’t wrestle” seem to rattle AJ a little. Power moves from AJ but Bey counters a Powerbomb and they both tag out. Ace and KC go back and forth. AJ tries to swipe Ace on the apron, but Ace has his classic counter offense, works back into the ring, stops a Satellite DDT from KC and a Brainbuster stops KC. AJ comes in and Ace manages to lift AJ after an early struggle into a Front Slam. Ace tags in Bey, Back Drop/Diving Lariat combo, but AJ breaks the pinfall. ABC tries to Double Suplex AJ, but AJ counters it and Suplexes both members of the smaller team. AJ looks for the Down Payment, but Ace Missile Dropkick stops that, Art of Finesse attempt from Bey, AJ grabs him and hits the Down Payment, goes for the cover, but KC hit a blind tag that AJ wasn’t aware of. KC thinks it’s locked up, goes to pin Bey and Bey Small Package Roll-Up for the win!
The System (Moose, Brian Myers, JDC & Eddie Edwards) vs The Hardyz, Joe Hendry & Mike Santana
Okay, Hendry does a Mash Up of his entrance song and the Hardyz, and they come out together. So Hendry gets a big potentially viral moment of getting the rub from The Hardyz.
The System take their sweet time starting the match, Moose looks to start, but when Santana shows to start for the faces, Moose tags out to JDC. JDC gets bounced from corner to corner just for the hell of it and the crowd is enjoying it. JDC gets up just to eat a Hip Attack. Santana goes for 10 Count Punches, JDC pushes him off around 6, System members try to get involved but Santana is in control. Back Body Drop on JDC, tags in Matt Hardy with a chorus of Delete chants. Santana is offered the Poetry in Motion spot, Jeff says its cool, then Jeff comes in for his now “I’m old so it’s a Splash version”. It took a while but JDC rams Matt back to the System corner and Eddie tags in. So finally JDC gets a chance to breathe.
Matt turns the tables on Eddie, tags in Jeff and starts some double team kicks and the tandem Suplex, Hendry hops in, Stereo Suplexes with the Hendry assist. Hardyz and Hendry do the Hendry turn to the camera. Very memeable, and stupid, but amusing. Santana tags in, and then The System finally remember they’re allowed to do stuff to. Knock off all the faces, but Santana fights off the entire , throws them outside, Escalara into a Senton onto the pile of System members. Matt tags in as the faces are recovered, Eddie is reeling but eventually tags in Moose and System start a few quick tags to isolate Matt. Myers comes in, runs his mouth to Matt and gets a Neckbreaker for his trouble. Jeff tags in, Manhattan Drop, Double Leg, the Leg Drop into Elbow, most of the System comes in and Jeff takes them out with a Whisper in the Wind. Twist of Fate on Eddie, calls for the Swanton but JDC interrupts and then Myers knocks Jeff off the top.
There is a Davey Richards chant going on, and I’m not mad at it. I’d like to see Davey back. Jeff rolls back into the ring, Myers keeps on him, tags Eddie in and Jeff looks dead. Eddie tags out to Moose and Moose is just gouging at Jeff’s face and grinding in the control. JDC gets tagged in, and Jeff is getting abused in the corner and then whipped sternum first for a 2. Jeff tries to fight up, but JDC goes to the eyes and drives Jeff to the System corner. Hendry finally gets tagged in, catches Eddie, Sack of Shit into the corner, Eddie dives and Hendry walks away, another Sack of Shit, Kip Up, Myers tries a Blindside Spear but Hendry moves and Myers kills Eddie. Sack of Shit for Myers. Moose Pump Kick, goes for his Escalara Cutter, but Hendry just steps back and stands there as Moose crashes to the ground. Eddie finally hits a Double Lariat spot to force a Hendry tag and now we get Finisher Spam from everyone. Lights Out, Twist of Fate, Roster Cut, Swanton Bomb, Falcon Arrow, Standing Ovation on JDC and Blue Thunder Bomb on Hendry, but Matt hits Eddie with the Twist of Fate and MOOSE PULLS HIM OUT! Matt and Moose brawl on the outside, Twist of Fate for Moose. No referee in the ring, Eddie hits a Low Blow, Boston Knee Party, and The System win.
It wasn’t a bad match, just a very slow start making The System look inept reminded me of like 2018 Suzuki Gun booking where they’d look dumb for a while and then eventually cheat to win. Which isn’t the style of faction they were going for initially, so I’m just confused. If The System is supposed to be in the vein of the Four Horsemen or Main Event Mafia…you gotta stop making them look like dweebs early.
TNA World Heavyweight Championship: 60 Minute Iron Man Match: Nic Nemeth (c) vs Josh Alexander
Very slow start as we all knew would happen. Most of us have seen longer matches, either from NJPW, TNA, WWE…they never start fast. So a little mat wrestling, Nic goes for a Abdominal Stretch with a bit of a twist, when Josh breaks it, Nic heads to the ropes to stop Josh from finding a return hold. After the rope break they go back to mat wrestling, gator rolls, hammerlocks and everything. Not really a ton to cover for the first 7 minutes, lots of mat wrestling, Headlocks, attempted submissions but nothing sticks. The first high spot is Nemeth countering the Headlock, snapping off a Dropkick and then Josh just grabs a foot and goes for the Ankle Lock. There’s a rope run, Nemeth leap frogs but sells the leg, it’s all a bait because as soon as Josh goes for the leg, Nemeth rolls him up and gets the first pinfall at about 12 minutes. Nemeth 1-0
Josh is annoyed at the trick, because Nemeth smirks and bounces around. So Josh drives him into the corner, lights him up Nemeth counters, hits his own chops and then 10 Count Punches that Josh turns into a Power Breaker. Back Elbows, another Back Breaker, and its turned into a few minutes of Josh just landing big strikes and power moves, including the Heavy Irish Whip that Nic takes sternum first into the corner. Nemeth hits a Suplex, then goes for a Stinger Splash but misses. He grabs a buckle pad to stop Josh’s German Suplex, but rips the pad off and eats the Suplex anyway. So there setting up a spot for later, since Josh decides to just wrench back on Nemeth’s neck and drive his knee into Nic’s spine. Josh tries for a pinfall, but Nic kicks out, throws a few punches before Josh does the Heavy Irish Whip that Nic eats chest first again.
Stalling Suplex from Josh, and it’s a big stall…like…a clean 40 seconds, but Nic kicks out of the pinfall attempt. Running Knee Lift from Josh puts the brakes on anything that Nic is trying. Josh gets distracted by the USA chant, does a Bret Hart pose, Nic goes for the flash Roll-Up but Josh kicks out of this one. Josh tries to attack Nic on the ropes, Nic ole’s Josh through the ropes and they start Chopping each other on the outside. 21 minutes in, and still only 1 fall, but the pace has been tolerable…the crowd is brain damaged, but the match is still solid. Nic throws Josh into the steps, then nails a few Lariats, shoves Josh back in, fling into the corner, 10 Count Punches, Rude Awakening and his Shot to the Heart Elbows. Josh gets up before 10, Nic grabs him back, Scoop Slam, goes to the top for the 10th Elbow, but Josh counters into a Triangle Armbar, both start locomotion spots for cradles and pinfall attempts, nothing, Nic hits a FameAsser! Still only a 2 count, but the pace definitely spiked. Nic looks for Danger Zone, Josh blocks, big right hand, C4, counter into a Danger Zone! Nemeth 2-0
I do definitely like one person going up by two, but now Nic just hits Splashes, Rude Awakenings, and he is dominating Josh. Nic’s got Josh bend into a Bow and Arrow stretch, but Josh bites the hand and goes for joint manipulation, but Nic throws Josh into the corner, chokes him with the boot, Snapmare, Jumping Elbow for 2! Josh grabs the Ankle out of nowhere but Up Kicks from Nic do the job. Josh is dazed after the Up Kick, Dropkick for 2. Things slow down a little as Nemeth is limping, Josh is dazed, but then Stun Guns Nic on the ropes. Josh slowly picking Nic apart, focusing a standing Achilles Lock on the injured leg. Nic breaks the submission with a finger snap as we get to the 30 minute mark, Josh is starting the Kurt Angle locomotion German Suplexes. Josh hit a number above 10 for the Germans, but then Nic decides to give ’em right back to Josh. Josh hits another German, Nic hits one more, they both get up, turn at each other and fall over.
A little hockey fight, Nic with a Spinning Back Elbow and it knocks off Josh’s head gear. Josh grabs in the Ankle Lock and Nic is trying to crawl to the rope instead of just tapping fast to save the injury. Josh steps on Nic’s neck before he gets to the rope and then drags him back center and grapevines the leg. Nic is trying not to tap and then Army Crawls to the rope, good fake out on the tap since he went Army Crawl. Josh is stomping the ankle and dissecting Nic, but there’s only 20 minutes left and Josh is down two pinfalls.
Nemeth tries some offense, Jumping DDT attempt but Josh launches him into the referee. Ref bump time, the idiot crowd cheers cause now they get tables. This crowd is a clear example of why people think wrestling fans and Southerners are imbeciles. Like sheesh, Double Trouble. And yes I’m filling the time with random musings cause it takes Josh forever and a day to set up the table and drag Nemeth to the apron. Looks for the C4 Spike through the table, but Nic Back Drops him off the apron away from the table. More apron brawling, Josh throws Nic into the ring, Jumping DDT but Josh spins him around and Tombstone for one…two…th…NO! Josh is annoyed, rolls out and grabs a chair. Referee takes the chair, Josh pulls pliers out of his knee brace, clocks Nic with a loaded fist, C4 Spike! Pinfall for Josh! Nemeth 2-1
Josh hits a second C4 Spike and now the match is tied with 15 minutes to go. TIED 2-2
Josh tries to just go for covers for free points, but Nic kicks out twice. Josh grabs him for another C4 but Nic goes around and jumps on his back like a Spider Monkey and tries the Sleeper Hold. Nic has the hold wrapped in for 2 minutes, won’t get off his back, Josh looks to climb the corner and just falls over and they bounce off the apron. It looks bad, but it also looks safe, so I’m not worried. Both are crawling, exhausted and trying to get anything in, Josh finds a burst of energy and Blue Thunder Bombs Nic on the outside. Let’s remember that there is still a table set up and exposed turn buckle. Nic barely beats the 10 count after the Blue Thunder, Josh hooks the arms for a C4 Spike, but Nic fights it off twice, slowly backing closer and closer to the ropes. Big Back Body Drop to the outside through the table! Josh barely beats the 10 count as well, Superkick nope, C4 Spike is connected! 1-2-Foot on the ropes! Both are slowly trying to figure out what to do, they work to a corner, some back and forth from both, SUPERPLEX from Nemeth but the cover is slow so Josh kicks out and there’s 5 minutes left.
Fighting Spirit spot also done well since its been a long and personal match. Josh kicks out the bad foot, Josh drops the straps and EATS A SUPERKICK! Only a two count and there’s 4 minutes left! End Around from Josh once they’re both up and Release German Suplex! Josh Lawn Darts Nic into the exposed turnbuckle! Mocks Nic, steals his taunt and hits the Danger Zone! 1-2-NIC KICKS OUT! 2 Minutes to go! Josh…tries to smother Nic but realizes murder is a bridge too far and just tries the C4 Spike but Nic is fighting it off. Nic counter Back Bridge, 2 count, Josh stays hooked tries the C4 Spike but Nic slips it, shoves Josh Danger Zone and then thinks about it…and steals the C4 Spike for a pinfall! 10 Seconds to go…clock counts down and Josh has no fire left! Nemeth 3-2
JBL walks down the ramp and into the ring. WHAT?! Bradshaw whispers something to Nemeth, Nemeth nods, JBL smirks and walks off.
Overall Score: 7.25/10
While it was a mixed bag match quality wise, the only match that was abysmal was the PCO match, but I partially blame the dud of giving Shera any more money to wrestle in TNA. We already had Fulton come back, should’ve just made it him, at least Fulton is cool. The Knockouts 6 Person was just worthless, and Lish getting knocked out didn’t help anything. The only thing it establishes is that Masha and ASH could defend the belts if they don’t vacate them since at least they have story connections. But Masha needs to be a singles wrestler again, I need the crazy Russian Sambo Murder Machine to come back.
Aside from those, Wentz winning is awesome, I hope WWE lets him bring the X Division title to No Mercy. Maclin versus Eric Young was better than it had any business being. The System winning was the correct call, filled with meme moments including Hendry and Hardyz, so everyone really won in that match. Of course, the main event was what we all expected. It started slow because it had to go an hour and Nic wanted to prove he could “wrestle” as well as Josh. So the first 15-20 minutes being slow and meticulous makes sense. If you need flips, dives, spot monkey stuff and “work rate” to enjoy wrestling, firstly you’re an idiot…but beyond that, perhaps you should watch gymnastics instead.
Nic proved he was actually a better wrestler than Josh right now. Josh’s two pinfalls came off of using a load fist followed by his finish twice. Nic’s finishes were all professional wrestler and amateur wrestling related. Either Josh lost a step, is so blinded by delusion he just wanted to win at all costs, or some other third option…Josh ain’t who he has been for the previous like 4 years in TNA. This could set up nicely for Josh’s involvement in the NXT title match if it doesn’t end up being a Pete Dunne angle or Trick turning on Hendry.
Either way, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it started off things well with my boy Wentz grabbing the X Division title and then New Jersey pride with Maclin picking up the win. So the show started well, ended great and there were enough things to make quick angles for Victory Road in 2 weeks. And what the hell did JBL say to Nic?

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
