Andrew’s TNA Turning Point Results & Match Ratings: 11.29.2024
BROOO – Turning Point…is definitely a thing. Live from WrestleCade, with their crew…it’s gonna look low budget, but can the matches save it?

So Turning Point is truly a question mark to me. Perhaps TNA is palatable to the casual observer, but trying to watch it weekly, this has been a miserable build with story threads held together with chicken wire and prayer. At this point I can only really hope the matches are good quality because nothing has real weight on this card. Everything feels like a filler angle including Trey Miguel and PCO needing to be replaced because of “travel issues”.
My expectations are lower than a Chicago Bears fan, and I still may get disappointed…also…like a Bears fan. Okay I’m not gonna punch down on that fandom, at least you guys got good news with Eberflus getting his walking papers. Let’s find out which way I get surprised!
.@WeAreRosemary wants the TNA Knockouts Championship!

Results:
Mike Santana vs Frankie Kazarian
A simple Arm Drag starts things off and Kaz slows things down to complain to the referee…and then an Arm Wringer trade counter spot with a staredown. Aren’t opening matches supposed to hype the crowd with hot action or a big match? Why is this here? Oh my Christ, they go for the Arm Drag during a flurry at the same time and block each other and just keep up with half paced Cruiserweight stuff. I am not sports entertained.
We get typical slow burn moves of a Hip Attack into a pinfall, more weird Arm Drag fascinations which turns into locomotion cradles. This is just slow, boring and there’s no real story between the two, so its just two dudes in the ring doing moves. They try to go for an apron spot which turns into Kaz’s control but he tries the inside out Slingshot DDT and Santana’s head kinda misses the apron and they just crash. Back in Kaz hits his Springboard Leg Drop, but this is a bad match. I really can’t even bring myself to transcribe the action because its basic, lame and I stopped caring almost immediately.
Inane moves that don’t matter, near fall enrages Kaz, Fade to Black gets slipped, a few counters for position and Santana pulls off the Spin the Block to win. No one cares, completely useless match.
Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl Match: Joe Hendry vs John Skyler vs Rhino vs Hammerstone vs Brian Myers vs Eric Young
This is a gimmick bunch of stuff match, so even if its entertaining not a ton of play by play to be had until things eventually boil down to two or three in the ring. Oh look, Hendry and Skyler are the last two in the ring, Skyler lands a few shots until he tries to run the ropes, eats a Shoulder Tackle and then a Stalling Vertical Suplex into a pinfall but Myers slides in to break up the pinfall and throw both out, so Rhino is Myers’ new dancing partner. Bell clap, Irish Whip, Rhino looks for The Gore, but Hammer rips him out of the ring, EY takes Myers out and then EY and Hammer have some time together.
Hammer is either selling a leg injury really well or he pulled something. Hammer powders, Skyler and Myers team up to beat on EY and play defense of the ring to keep EY isolated. Tandem Suplex from Skyler and Myers but Hendry tries to get into the ring and is promptly dumped out. Hammer limps back in, tries to triple team EY, but is obviously favoring the leg. They try to set up a Tower of Doom, but Hendry connects with a few uppercuts, Rhino Gores Hammerstone and Rhino finishes the Tower of Doom spot. Hendry starts working on the three heels who are still comparatively ok, but Hendry goes for Locomotion Sack of Shits into Kip Ups, Skyler first, then Myers, and after a struggle spot…gets Hammerstone up and over! Myers stops the Standing Ovation, the Heels turn on each other, another Gore for Hammer, Gore for Skyler, Spear from Myers! Myers looks for the Roster Cut, Hendry moves Skyler out of the way and Standing Ovation on Myers! Hendry wins and Myers has to wear the Turkey Suit or get fired.
Tradition continues with Turkey @Myers_Wrestling!

X Division Championship: Moose (c) vs Laredo Kid
Laredo starts with Low Round Kicks, Overhand Chops, tries to Old School walk the ropes, but Moose just shoves him to his demise and starts ragdolling him on the outside. This is the what your parents see when you “rough house” with younger siblings or cousins. Moose throws Laredo back in the ring and aims for the mask, the referee stops him, Jacknife Powerbomb attempt but Laredo slips it, two Enzuigiris, Laredo hits the ropes and a Big Boot stops Laredo from remembering Spanish for a minute. Moose perches him, claws at the mask again, Tree of Woe for some disrespectful stomps and Moose looks for a Spear, but Laredo manages to dodge. Tries to rally an Uno Mas chant for his Hip Attacks, but the crowd doesn’t care. Laredo keeps trying to counter Moose’s power moves with Back Slides, Sunset Cradles, Frankensteiners, but gets caught with a Uranage giving Moose a two count. Lish chokes Laredo on the ropes as Moose distracts the ref, Moose talks smack and then smacks Laredo across the face. Laredo tries to fire up, but he gets insta-dropped by a Moose chop.
Moose charges the corner a few times but Laredo has answers, Missile Dropkick sends Moose to the outside, Senton Atomico from the post to the outside! Laredo throws Moose back in, charges the corner, eats a boot, Moose perches, Laredo tries the Avalanche Frankensteiner but Moose holds on. Laredo gets back up, Laredo Fly! The small delay in making the cover allows Moose to kick out. Laredo goes to the top rope, 450 into Knees, Moose pops up, Lights Out, Kip Up and another! Moose retains as we all expected.
NoDQ Match: Steve Maclin vs Josh Alexander
Maclin comes out hot, lays Josh to the outside, SCUD, and stays on top of him with Chops and the usual “offense around the outside of the ring”. Like this is NoDQ 101. Maclin goes to find a table super early, first time we really hear the crowd all show. Maclin tries to go for a quick Spicolli Driver through the Table but Josh claws the eyes and slips the move, Josh tries to rock Maclin from the apron through the table, but a Slingshot Spear stops Josh’s offense and puts Maclin back in the driver’s seat. Beatings in the corner will continue until morale improves…or until Josh slips to the back and pulls off the German Suplexes that never end. After eating like 8, Maclin returns one back and is somehow up to his feet before Josh. Some corner spots and Josh dodges a charge and Release German sends Maclin neck first into a turnbuckle.
Both roll out of the ring, Josh finds another table, Steve tries to remember where he is. Josh wants to German Maclin into the table, but Maclin blocks, fires back, looks for a Powerbomb but eats a Back Body Drop onto the concrete. Josh wants the Power Bomb, but Maclin counters into the Spicolli Driver into Josh’s table! Maclin finds a trash can, a chair, a box of donuts, 4 hamsters in a shoe, a trash can lid…you know, the essentials. Josh goes for the Ankle Lock out of desperation, but Maclin has been using the Lid like spray bottle for a disobedient dog, and manages to make Josh powder. A Backbreaker gives Josh the advantage, he starts using the outside to further the advantage, throws the trash can on Maclin’s head…punches it and sells his hand hurting. Okay, a little funny, but a little stupid too. Canned Maclin gets sat on the apron so Josh can do his Low Crossbody through the ropes spot and then starts beating the hell out of Maclin with Trash Cans, Lids, burnt dinner rolls…oh and he finds a door. Why has the door become popular in the last few years? Because of GCW crap? Ugh.
Door backfires and Maclin Dropkicks it into Josh and then drops the Elbow in Josh through the Door. Then Maclin starts beating Josh with a tattered piece of door (a weird thing to write even in wrestling). Maclin tries to throw Josh back in, but Josh slips out, wraps Maclin’s leg into the post and then uses pieces of door to work over the leg further. Josh starts goading Maclin to do stuff knowing he’s worked over the leg, so that slows the pace even further…somehow. Josh sets up some chair art, peppers in a few more leg shots, Josh tries to set up the C4 Spike into the chairs, but Maclin counter and Alabama Slams Josh through the chairs. Some cripple fight moments, Josh grabs a chair, Maclin ducks it, kicks him in the gut to grab the chair, tosses the chair at him to hold and then Busaiku Knee into the chair. Maclin looks for Jar Headbutt, Josh Sabus the chair at Maclin. Puts Maclin up on his shoulders for a Torture Rack Bomb but throws Maclin out to into his table he set up in a very messy and dangerous way.
Josh brings Maclin back in, goes for the cover, Maclin kicks out, Ankle Lock but Maclin rolls forward to break the hold and sends Josh into a perched Trash Can. Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs connects! Maclin hits another! And a another! K.I.A…and that’s all…oh Maclin lifts up Josh’s head and says “My terms”. Maclin goes to find the bag of tacks…oh no, they’re shell casings! Maclin tries a KIA into shell casings but Josh kicks him in the dick and takes time to catch his breath. They trade shots in the corner, Josh wants an Avalanche C4 Spike into the Shells, but a Headbutt from the Marine proves deadly, Avalanche KIA into Shell Casings, Maclin wins!
It was slow, but the story it told over the last year or so does help a bit. But between the awful camera work, and generally bad card, its hard for me to get really excited.Â
The Hardyz & Ace Austin vs Kushida, Zachary Wentz & Riddle
Ace and Wentz start off, nice quick counters, leg picks, cartwheels, headscissor grabs, just solid Junior stalemate work. After the stalemate, Wentz asks Ace to tag Jeff, the crowd pops and Wentz looks like a kid playing at school and Jeff seems amused also. They even trade Rascalz fingers before locking up, Wentz tries something, chases Jeff out, Matt makes the blind tag as Wentz doesn’t see it so Matt surprises Wentz and we get the double team Hardy Backbreaker/Polish Hammer. Matt hits a Shoulder Tackle but Wentz Kips Up, Arm Drag and Twist, Wentz chases Matt into the corner but Matt moves so Wentz hits the Twists Crossbody from the middle rope. Works Matt to his corner, Kushida tags in, works Matt down and locks in the Liger style Surf Board. Kushida tries to transition to something else, but Matt gets away from him, tags out to Jeff, some double team work allows Jeff to tag Ace and we see some cohesion with the Ace Hardyz. Kushida does manage some space with a Front Dropkick, points to Riddle, the crowd pops and Riddle comes in. Some nice Gutwrench Side Suplexes, FIgherman’s Suplex Hold for two. Wentz tags in, Riddle and Wentz go for a tandem move but Ace manages to fight through and get knees up during Riddle’s Senton. Ace tags in Jeff, and Wentz is getting rocked.
Wentz continues to eat Irish Whips, Dropkicks to the back, Jeff tags out to Matt and Matt eats the Delete Headsmashes, a Rocket Launcher into the middle rope, and now Matt tags out to Ace. Ace with the Front Facelock and Knee in Wentz’s back..tries to keep control but Wentz fights out of the enemy corner, Ricky to Robert to Riddle. Pele, Rip Chord Knee and starts beating on Matt and Ace. T-bone Suplex into a PK on Ace, Bro-Trigger for two! Kushida tries to work on the arm, Ace starts to fight back, Simultaneous High Kicks drop both men. Same time tags Wentz and Jeff are in, Jeff hits all of his classic jams for a two. Twist attempt, but a Jumping Knee from Wentz says no. Kushida tags in, they try to double Jeff but eat a Whisper in the Wind instead. Poetry in Motion takes Wentz out of the ring, Ace takes Riddle off the apron, but Riddle recovers enough to break up the pinfall. Signature spam, Side Effect, Tanaka Punch, Twist of Fate, Jeff and Riddle slowly get to their feet…fist bump and then throw fists. Flurry turns into Jeff hitting a Canadian Destroyer on Riddle! Kushida gets doubled by the Hardyz, Double Back Handspring Elbow levels them both, Plot Twist from the Hardy, Swanton from Jeff on Kushida wins the match!
2 out of 3 Falls Match TNA Knockouts Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Jordynne Grace
Since its a two out of three falls match, its of course gonna start slow, especially since Riddle and Hardyz popped the crowd pretty hard last match. So some simple tie ups and missed Spinning Backfists makes sense, a snap Spinebuster from Jordynne is an early pinfall attempt. Grace goes for a Powerbomb, Masha slips it, Hook Kick into a Gory Special that she drops into the ropes. Big Knee Lift into a Lariat gives Masha an near fall. Masha then goes to the hair use Snapmares, PK misses, Jordynne powders and Masha sees it so she just dives onto Jordynne in one fluid motion. Jordynne is rocked early, Masha looks for something on the apron, Grace throws Masha back into the ring so Jordynne can recover, but Masha hits the PK through the ropes. Struggling on the apron commences, Round Kicks to the chest and a Push Kick from Masha, but Jordynne hits a Spinning Back Fist and then a Package Piledriver onto the apron. Jordynne finally has some control in the match. Picks up Masha, rolls her back in, Jordynne follows but Masha rolls back out to buy some time.
Jordynne throws forearms, looks for Snake Eyes onto the apron, but Masha slips it and they brawl on the outside. Locomotion Piledriver counters, Masha finally gets the best of it, Package Piledriver from Masha to Jordynne on the floor! Masha breaks the count at 8 and decides their gonna make things definitive. She rolls Jordynne into the ring, goes for the pinfall, but Jordynne kicks out at two. Jordynne fires out of nowhere after a few Round Kicks with Body Slams, Slamovich hits the Back Fist followed by a Buzzsaw Kick, Grace counters a Masha kick into an Air Raid Crash for two. Kinikku Buster attempt but Masha slips it, they struggle, throw fists and then go into locomotion Cradles which Jordynne gets the best of, folds Masha up and scores the first fall. Jordynne 1-0
Masha hits the gas right after the break, two charging Front Kicks, Waterwheel Kick into a near fall. Masha looks for a suplex, Jordynne fights it off, but Masha gets the best of it, throws Jordynne into the corner and locks in some kind of Straight Jacket Double Chicken Wing, but Jordynne fights it off and they trade a few submission attempts before Jordynne pancakes Masha and gets a near fall. Short arm Lariat from Grace for only two. Kudome Valentine attempt from Jordynne but Masha slips it, Body Scissors Cradle from Masha into a Double Stomp and a near 2 count. Masha goes right into the Sleeper Hold, but Jordynne is fighting it off. Masha gets dumped, Kudome Valentine again but this one connects! 1-2-2.9! Juggernaut Driver attempt, but Masha keeps fighting, Enzuigiri from Masha, Tornado DDT into riding it down and locking in a Guillotine Choke! Jordynne refuses to stop, World’s Strongest Slam, Vader Bomb, Juggernaut Driver…countered by Masha with a Small Package and Masha ties it up! TIED 1-1
They both just start punching each other instead of going to the corner for the breather between falls. Referee forces the break, Masha throws kicks, Jordynne throws fists, Thrust Kick, Back Fist, but a Spinning Heel Kick rocks Jordynne so Masha goes for a Back Slide only 2. Running Knee from Masha, Gutwrench Sitout Powerbomb into the Package Piledriver from Masha for the decisive fall! Masha wins 2-1
TNA World Championship: Eddie Edwards vs Nic Nemeth (c)
Yet another match that starts slow. Does it make sense, sure, but nothing really starting hot and staying hot makes a fairly lame show just drag further. Just Shoulder Tackles, Drop Toe Holds, Submissions or Amateur Wrestling pinfall attempts, very slow stuff until Eddie just fires across the ring with a Charging Polish Hammer. Eddie puts Nic in the corner, one big NOAH chop and Nic sells like he’s shot in the chest. Nic has been on the receiving end of high impact but simple offense and going for repeated pinfalls. Lish gets involved a little with a rope choke, but we’ve grown to expect that from our Queen of Boston. Another Chop to the chest kills Nemeth, Eddie Irish Whips Nic chest first across…but when Eddie goes for something else Nic slips it and starts stringing together a few moves, Straight to the Heart Elbow Drops, Eddie powders before the 10th elbow, and tries to dodge and play coy.
Eddie dodges a Superkick on the outside and Nic takes out the time keeper. Nic hits the Elbow from the Top Rope eventually, looks to connect with a Superkick in the ring, but Lish causes a distraction and Eddie manages a Knee Breaker and to take back control. Nic tries to fire back up, a few traded punches, they both hit the ropes and do the simultaneous Lariat lay out spot. They get up, trade punches again, Nic levels Eddie with a Headbutt, Lish grabs Nic’s ankle as he tries to continue but the referee sees it all clearly. Even though Eddie rocks Nic, the referee ejects Lish and Eddie is distraught. Nic hops on him and goes for the 10 Count Punches, into a Thesz Press and more punches FameASSer gets countered into a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall! Backpack Stunner from Eddie after the Enzuigiri but only a two count. Eddie stops a Nic flurry, charges forward and eats a FameASSer!
Lish comes back down to the ring to talk shit after being ejected, she tries to hit Nic, but he ducks Eddie’s sneak attack, Eddie stops himself from hitting his wife, Lish grabs the belt, hits Nic with the belt, Eddie hits the Boston Knee Party…but Nic kicks out!? Die Hard Flowsion attempt but Nic slips it into a Danger Zone! Eddie kicks out of the Danger Zone! Fighting Spirit spot, into both spilling over to the outside after a Lariat. TURKEY MYERS COMES OUT! JBL comes out of the crowd! He charges to the ring, lays out Turkey Myers! Lish is beside herself. JBL looks over at Nic and walks away.
Both men pull each other up in the corner, Pop Up, counter, Headbutt, Danger Zone no, Boston Knee Party misses, Superkick into another Danger Zone and Nemeth retains.
Overall Score: 3/10
WrestleCade is a terrible production crew, the camera was bad, the lightning was bad, this reminded me more of the dark rinky dink 2015 era TNA. It also doesn’t help that the first few matches sucked, Xia Brookside looked like a snack and a half on the countdown pre-show, but she jobbed out to day old demon past her prime. Santana and Kaz was a waste of time, a bad match and a worse opener. Turkey Bowl was a mess and with Hammerstone pulling up lame 4 minutes into the match that just annoys me since I love Hammer, and if he’s legit hurt that really blows. Laredo Kid is really just a diversity hire and always has been, they give him no personality, no real momentum, he is just a generic luchador. He’s like Temu Suicide.
Jordynne and Masha was solid but the last fall felt really rushed and awkward, especially with all the slow start matches. The 6 man was more entertaining than it had any business being, but that’s also because Matt Riddle is awesome. Maclin and Josh was good storytelling, just wrapped in a bad show so hard to click into. Main event was fine, over booked, definitely silly, but okay. All in all, if this was a long episode of iMPACT! it would be fine, but this was a PLE/App Event whatever, and that really just gives me no hope for Final Resolution.
Genesis better be the start of new stories and a new booker. Because whoever it is (I think its Dreamer, but don’t know), is terrible and needs to be bumped down to an agent at best. This has been some of the worst story TNA has done these last 8 months. Just pissed away the hype that Scott D’Amore created.

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.3.2025
The first episode under the new regime, let’s see how bad it is.

Well this is the first episode with the new regime, and I’m not looking forward to it. I’m expecting a car crash, because Delirious is worthless, Dreamer is hit or miss at the best, and no one else has a proven track record at having a brain. So I expect pure garbage.
Let’s see if I get surprised!
.@MeanGiaMiller caught up with TNA Knockouts Champion @mashaslamovich, @XiaBrookside, and @TheLeiYingLee ahead of TONIGHT’s massive main event against Tessa Blanchard, #WWENXT’s @jacyjaynewwe, and Jazmyn Nyx!

Results:
We lead off with Joe Hendry music because he’s on commentary during the Elijah versus Kaz match.
#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian
We start off with Kaz sticking and moving to dodge Elijah, but he eventually catches him and goes to the Rope Walk quickly and pulls it off. Elijah tries to go into a Piledriver or something but Kaz slips it and pulls down Elijah with the slip. They go to the outside, Kaz throws Elijah into the post, then slaps Hendry, shoving match starts, Kaz charges and Hendry lifts but Kaz slips out the back and shoves Hendry into Elijah…the ref lets it slide. So Kaz throws in Elijah and a quick cradle gives Kaz the opportunistic win.
Post Match Hendry just goes crazy on Kaz, security pull apart spot, even Elijah pulls off Hendry and calms him down. Elijah playing the long game, not even arguing that Hendry cost him. The match didn’t have enough substance to rate, it was purely a plot device and a little convoluted.Â
Backstage segment of Hendry with the Doctor, Hendry apparently messed up his shoulder in the scuffle…so…that’s something.Â
System Ultimatum time is next. The crowd is booing the hell out of Eddie, and it’s a real reaction not go away heat or anything, Eddie plays in it well enough. Lish leads the way and wants to do the Planteer pose, but the rest just walk past her and she seems annoyed, while these others seem somber. This was going the way we expected with everyone sticking around. We finally get to Moose and doofus Deaner’s music hits. Deaner tries to get the crowd to rally around Moose resigning from The System. Moose says the People are right, but then beats the hell out of Deaner. They do the Planeteer pose over the corpse of Deaner. Hopefully we never see that dork again, just let him go be a jobber in Maple Leaf Pro.Â
Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend
Jakara starts with Dani, a quick tie up, but Jakara strikes out of it, Arm Drag sends Dani flying, but Dani stops Jakara’s next attempts at offense, tags in Jody and a tandem moment rocks Jakara. Jody tags back out and Lash tags in, so it’s power and booty versus power and booty. Shoulder Tackle spot and Lash gets the best of it, Dani holds on to the ropes to stop the Whip recoil, Jody with the blind tag, they try to team up but Lash fights out of both. Jody goes Spider Monkey and tries to choke out Lash but Lash just walks her back to Jakara and tags out. Jakara is rolling until Jody holds the ropes and watches Jakara crash and burn on a Dropkick. Probably the best I’ve seen that spot in a long time. Dani tags in, they try the Scoop Slam tandem attack on Jakara, but Jakara moves and Dani just slams Jody into the mat.
Lash gets tagged in and starts to maul Dani. A little rotating offense keeping Dani isolated. Dani tries to find an opening but she’s eating move after move, they go for the Tandem Wheelbarrow Slam, but Dani gets the knees up. Dani finally gets a chance to tag out, Jody starts working over both Lash and Jakara. Stacks them in the corner to do her 10 Count Lariats, Exploder Suplex into rope hung Double Knees. Jody wants the German but Lash tries to stop it. Jody fights off Lash, manages a Stalling Jackhammer on Jakara, but Lash does manage to break up the pin. All four are in the ring, Dani gets tosses, Straight Right from Lash clocks Jody. Jakara flies to wipe out Dani, they look for the M-KO but Jody fights it off. Jody throwing Chops on both, it starts to look stupid, Jody tries to fire and Lash wants to clock her with the Forearm during the stall but hits Jakara.
Crossbody from Jody, Lash catches her, M-KO. Meta Girls win.
Oh great more talking, now the Hardyz are out to talk and Matt gives a decent but basic promo that goes into a bit of Broken just for the cheap pop. Jeff pokes fun at the “best brother tag team” joke from last week. If they weren’t The Hardyz the crowd wouldn’t care. Oh speaking of not caring, the Great Hands and snackalicious Tasha Steelz interrupt. Great Hands want to fight, Hardyz are okay with it of course, then Santino comes out. He says after the commercial Great Hams vs Hard Boys is on!Â
Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz
Hotch is getting worked over by both Hardys, a little classic tandem offense, an early pinfall, but Hotch claws the eyes and tags in Skyler. Skyler’s advantage last like 12 seconds, he tags Jeff, Rocket Launcher into the middle rope with a Leg Drop from Jeff. Jeff tries to Whisper in the Wind in the opposition corner like a dumbass, so Hotch crotches him, the Hands do the double crotch stomp as Jeff is in the Tree of Woe. Assisted offense, they try to perch Jeff, but Jeff fights them off and pulls off the best Whisper in a minute. Matt gets the hot tag, Scoop Slams, Delete Headsmashes, and a Side Effect on Hotch for fun. Matt wants the Twist on Skyler, Skyler counters, Jeff tags in, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect on Skyler and only a near fall.
Twist of Hate attempt, Hotch breaks it up, Matt takes out Hotch, Skyler almost pulls off the Flash upset with the Cradle. Plot Twist, Swanton, and Jeff wins.
Ryan Nemeth is in the back watching the match, has a few snarky things to say while wearing an LA Sparks jersey, Leon Slater and his lack of charisma in Birmingham accent shows up. Hates the WNBA obviously since he tries to push Ryan out of camera frame, and then they’ll prolly have a match at some point. At least Ryan has a gimmick that’s been amusing, but God is Leon Slater useless.Â
THEY HAVE AN INJURY REPORT SEGMENT – that’s soo damn corny. Never do this again, this is dumb as hell.Â
Oh great, more talking…SDL and Mance Warner. Where’s Keenan when I need someone to scream “WHY!?!”
This promo is complete shit, they even invent a bad magazine called TNA Weekly for this dumb thing. I hate this, and not in the “I wanna see them get beat up good heel work way”, I hate them because they’re useless, uninteresting and just saying dumb crap. When Santino comes out and effectively calls them stupid and cringe…that’s kind of a problem when the comedy character calls you dumb. THEY ARE REBRANDING THE BELT AGAIN! International Championship…ugh. Sami comes out to beat up Mance while Santino tries to wrestle the belt away from Steph. This is just cringe.Â
.@MustafaAli_X unleashed a vicious verbal assault on Derek, dragging his past addiction into the spotlight—making his war with @Santana_Proud even more personal.

Mustafa Ali is doing great work. I’m a little mad this promo was buried in this awful episode.Â
Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich
Tessa and Masha start, Masha shoots the half, rains down fists, Tessa kicks her off but Masha keeps up the aggression and forces Tessa to powder. Fatal Influence tries to come in, Xia and Lei dispatch them, Dual Baseball Slide take out the NXT girls, and a Middle Rope Plancha from Masha takes out Tessa as we go to commercial.
Back from commercial Lei Ying has Jacy in a grounded Arm Bar. A little hair pull makes Lei stand up, but she drops Jacy flat after a Round Kick, Low Sweep and then a Running Knee as she’s getting back up. A corner Down Strike has Lei rolling, but a blind tag from Jazmyn catches Lei by surprise and then she gets trapped in the heel corner. The Fatal Influence gals rotate in and out, all 3 take cheap shots, PK into a Senton for a near fall. Lei finally fights off the onslaught and gets Xia in. Xia is very fiery and angry, and now Jazmyn is getting her ass beat. Rosemary is in the audience to distract Xia a little but Xia still connects with Broken Wings and a near fall. Xia gets tripped up on the apron, Jacy gets tagged in and a PK drops Xia on the outside. Hard Irish Whip back in the ring and Cannonball from Jacy has Xia down and out. Jazmyn tags back in, and Xia tries to fire up, Monkey Flip but pulled away by Jacy, Xia tags out, Masha takes out both Fatal Influence members, goes for a pinfall but Tessa runs in with a head of steam to break the pinfall. All six are in for Signature spam spot. Spinning Heel kick from Masha, Fallon distracts on the outside, and Tessa takes advantage of all the chaos, Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa gets the pinfall victory.
Ethan Page interrupts Kaz’s promo at the end of the show. Claiming he should have the title shot since he pinned Joe in NXT. So the Rebellion match is Ethan Page versus Joe Hendry.Â
Overall Score: 1/10
The one point is for Mustafa’s promo and the main even being decent. But this was awful. Too much talking, an “Injury Report” like this is a real situation and not scripted, which is insulting, and YET AGAIN, a new name for the lower card title. Jesus Christ, stop renaming the damn belt. Legends/TV/King of the Mountain/Grand/Digital Media/International… just stop it. Stick to a name or stop doing a lower card belt. Also really lame that they keep trying to push Cardona as something important.
Kaz and Elijah’s thing is a stupid angle, The System firing was a giant cock tease and who the hell gives Eddie the power to call everyone to task? Mance and SDL are the worst thing on this show after Deaner’s existence. SDL has been a plague on TNA programming since wasting time with her “needs neck surgery” promo instead of a match. I do truly feel bad for Mustafa Ali’s promo being stuck on this pile of crap.
This was an episode that should’ve been an e-mail. Garbage effort, garbage stories, just straight up a waste of two hours. Even with the Ethan Page appearance, this episode was still worthless. Is it sad to say, I expected nothing and am still disappointed by this episode? Ugh… LOLTNA…

The Sons of Texas know MXM Collection is obsessed with them, but they have to focus on themselves right now. Will they check another team off the list? Or will The Diamond in the Rough & The Ivy League MVP have an even bigger reason to party tonight?
As The Frat House makes their entrance, Jacked Jameson is making the challenge for someone, anyone, to do sudden death beer pong. Jameson doesn’t think the fans are up to it, but The Natural & The Spanish God say bet. Jameson gives them the ping pong balls, then he and Preston Vance go outside the ring.

Uno & Reynolds shrug, but they got their payback all the same. Dustin & Sammy hold up the belts and they point to the All In sign in the rafters. Will the Sons of Texas get to go All In in Texas?
The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling VS The Outrunners!
Speaking of last week, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari are feeling good after they won, but it was largely in part thanks to The Dark Order. “Smart” Mark has the mic to stop Bobby Cruise, he takes care of this. Everyone knows Daivari & Nese, “and folks, statistically, Milwaukee is actually the capital of deadbeat dads. But that’s okay, because we hate your kids, too. But tonight, they can for the first time ever, be part of a real winning family. And you can be part of our team. So when I say ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule.’ NOTHING ELSE. Hands in, boys. Ohhhh…! ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Milwaukee gets the better of Sterling, this is quite the losing streak.
But then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd make their entrance, and the fans here in The Good Land fire up! Will The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive? Or will Nese & Daivari find a way to go back to back for once?
The teams sort out, Truth and Daivari start, and the Code of Honor is barely upheld. The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Truth headlocks, but Daivari powers up and out. Truth RAMS shoulders with Daivari, but neither man falls. Daivari dares Truth to try that again, so Truth runs and he RAMS Daivari again! Daivari flexes, Truth runs, but Daivari drops down. Truth ducks ‘n’ hurdles, then he CLOBBERS Daivari! The fans fire up while Truth flexes. Daivari frowns but Turbo tags in. Turbo and Daivari circle while the fans rally up. Daivari wants the Test of Strength, and Turbo obliges, but then Daivari kicks low!
Daivari bumps Turbo off buckles, tags in Nese, and the Premier Athletes mug Turbo! The ref counts, Nese & Daivari let off, and they shout, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” They never learn… Daivari & Nese double whip, Turbo ducks ‘n’ dodges, Truth tags in before Turbo DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up again and The Outrunners have Nese in a corner. Truth fires hands, then he whips Turbo in for an ELBOW! Truth SPLASHES Daivari, then feeds Daivari to Turbo’s BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up, Truth DROPKICKS Nese and Turbo DROPKICKS Daivari! Sterling grabs a mic to shout at The Outrunners!
Sterling claims that in Milwaukee, it is illegal to hit dropkicks, “especially when you’re as ugly as you, pal!” The fans boo, but Truth storms out after Sterling! Sterling runs away, but ends up in the ring! Nese uses that to DROPKICK Truth! Nese tags Daivari, they mug Truth, but the ref reprimands. Nese ROCKS Truth again and again, then Daivari shoves Truth down. Daivari soaks up the heat, then hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Daivari brings Truth around to TOSS him out, then he argues with the ref. This lets Sterling and Nese get stomps in on Truth! The fans boo, Daivari goes out to fetch Truth, and whips him into railing!
The fans boo but Daivari puts Truth back in the ring. Tag to Nese, Daivari stomps Truth down, and Nese stays between The Outrunners. The fans chant “Athletes Suck!” but Nese UPPERCUTS Truth! Truth goes to ropes and Nese flexes. Nese brings Truth around to scoop and SLAM! Nese then says he’ll show us who sucks! Nese runs up, but Truth avoids the leg drop!

Nese drags Turbo up, Daivari joins in, but Truth saves Turbo from the double suplex! The Outrunners fire haymakers on The Athletes, then double whip. And DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!

Truth runs in, but Nese saves Daivari now! Nese ROCKS Truth, shoves Turbo into a THROAT CHOP!
Nese PLANCHAS Truth, and then Daivari puts Turbo on the apron! Turbo RAMS into Daivari, slingshots up and over, but Daivari stays up! He sits on the sunset flip, but he holds the ropes! TWO!! Turbo is free, and he LARIATS Daivari! Nese is back, Turbo LARIATS him! Turbo flexes and the fans are loving it! But Nese distracts the ref and Sterling CLUBS Turbo from behind! Turbo just frowns and Sterling is upset. The fans tell Sterling he messed up! Turbo grabs Sterling by the tie, then winds up… to DECK Sterling! Sterling flounders, Turbo scoops Daivari! Truth runs up, TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!
Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall
That’s 4-0 for Truth & Turbo, and it’s back to zero days since The Premier Athletes last lost! Will the Outrunners be in the running for an ROH World Tag Team Championship opportunity?
The Dark Order VS The Infantry!
We already saw Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds get even with The Frat House earlier tonight, and now it’s time for them to rebound from that loss. Will The Dark Order finally return to their former glory? Or will Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo simply put them outta their misery with Two 2 Da Head?
The Code of Honor is barely upheld, and then Reynolds starts against “Bad News & Tattoos” Bravo. The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, then break. Bravo talks some smack as he and Reynolds circle again. They tie up, break again, and then Bravo pie faces Reynolds! Reynolds gives the pie face back! Bravo knees low, CLUBS Reynolds, then ROCKS him! Reynolds leans on ropes while Bravo talks smack on “pretty boy” Reynolds! Bravo whips, Reynolds reverses, but Bravo KICKS the backdrop away! Bravo says he’s too smart, but Reynolds LARIATS him down! Reynolds drags Bravo up, whips, but Bravo reverses.
Bravo runs up, Reynolds dodges to then run in and ELBOW! Then Reynolds runs to UPPERCUT! Cover, ONE!! Bravo stays in this, but Reynolds stays on him.

Dean flounders, Uno & Reynolds DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Milwaukee cheers and Uno takes a bow.

Here comes The Frat House! Uno lifts Bravo into a Gory Especial, and Reynolds runs up, GORY BOMB CODE BREAKER COMBO!! But Vance leads the charge to the apron! The ref stops them, but Reynolds tells them all to back off.
But then Bravo LOW BLOWS Uno! Dean BLASTS Reynolds, and Uno gets TWO 2 DA HEAD!! Cover, Infantry wins!
Winners: The Infantry, by pinfall
The Infantry took advantage of the distraction, but The Frat House screws over Uno & Reynolds again. Reynolds warns them that this isn’t over. But how can The Dark Order fight against The Frat when they don’t have the Numbers?
ROH Pure Championship: Lee Moriarty VS AR Fox!
While Shane Taylor Promotions is working on taking over all of ROH, the Pure Division has belonged to Lee Moriarty for months now. Will #TAIGASTYLE continue to be the best young technical wrestler in the world today? Or will this soon be the Whole Fox’n Show?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the most Pure!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. The fans rally as Fox and Lee circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and Lee kicks one to wrench and wristlock. Lee wrangles Fox, Fox rolls, rolls, and wrenches back. Lee spins, slips through, and he trips Fox! The fans are torn, but Fox kicks Lee away! Lee comes back, rolling cradle into an ARMBAR! Fox reaches out for the ROPEBREAK! Lee lets go and reminds Fox that he just used his first of three. The two tie up, Lee headlocks, but Fox powers up and out. Lee RAMS Fox, Fox rebounds to RAM Lee! Lee BOOTS Fox down, and Lee soaks up the cheers and jeers.
Lee stands Fox up, whips him to a corner, but Fox goes up. Lee stops Fox from going over, but Fox mule kicks, then springboard STUNNERS! Lee staggers away to another corner and Fox runs up. Fox blocks boots, puts Lee in the ropes, and CLUBS him! Fox then goes up and out, slingshots back in, ARABIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Lee survives but Fox drags him up. Lee wrenches out but Fox BOOTS him first! Fox tilt-o-whirls, rolls and has the CROSSFACE! Lee scrambles back to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer and the ref counts, Fox lets go at 4. Lee used his first and Fox is after Lee again.
Lee swings, Fox blocks and DECKS Lee! But the ref warns Fox, that was a closed fist. Fox has his first warning, and Fox has to remember that’s how Pure Rules go. Lee staggers up, Fox whips, but Lee reverses and reels Fox in for a STOMP! The fans rally, Lee storms up on Fox to stand him up for KNEE after KNEE! Lee then hammerlocks an arm and RAMS Fox into the corner! Lee fires fast palm strikes and a JUMP KNEE! The fans cheer while Fox sputters. Lee brings Fox up, hammerlocks and scoops, to then SLAM Fox on his own arm! Cover, ONE, but Lee clamps onto Fox with a KIMURA! Fox fights around to the ROPEBREAK!
Lee lets go and Fox has used his second. Lee smiles as he has Fox where he wants him at just four minutes in. Lee wrenches the arm, ELBOW BREAKERS, then hammerlocks and RAMS Fox into the buckles! The fans rally, even chanting “Ropebreak! Ropebreak!” Lee hammerlocks Fox again, and RAMS him back into buckles! Lee hammerlocks then RAMS- NO, Fox stops himself, and ELBOWS in return! Lee runs up, Fox DUMPS Lee to the apron and sweeps the legs! Fox then builds speed to front flip DOUBLE STOMP on the apron! That’s one way to use the ropes! Then Fox WRECKS Lee with a dropkick, builds more speed, and he FLIES!
The fans fire up as Fox takes Lee down! Fox high-fives the front row, then he puts Lee back in the ring. Fox goes up the ropes, and aims for the SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Lee survives but the fans rally behind Fox now! Fox hauls Lee up, but Lee wrenches the bad arm, drops back and TWEAKS the arm! Fox hobbles, Lee front straitjacket for THE FANG! And then BORDER CITY STRETCH!! Fox endures, fights around, reaches out, ROPEBREAK!! The fans cheer, and that is Fox’s final ropebreak! Lee nods, he’s moved Fox into check on this chessboard. Lee stalks Fox, the fans chant, “No More Ropebreaks!” “Ropebreaks Suck!”
Lee drags Fox up, but Fox suplexes first! ANARCHY! Both men are down and Lee goes to a corner. The fans rally, we hit seven minutes, and Fox runs in! Fox blocks Lee’s boots, puts him in ropes again, and CLUBS him! Lee goes out, slingshots in, DRAPING DESTROYER!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Lee survives and Fox can’t believe it! Lee has used his second, but Fox shrugs that off. Fox goes to the corner, Lee grabs at a foot, but Fox kicks him down. Fox goes up the corner, takes aim, and 450- NO, Lee moves! Fox rolls through, but Lee victory rolls him! TWO!! Fox escapes and mule kicks. Lee drops to his knee, but he ducks the buzzsaw and the heel kick! But not the BASEMENT CUTTER!
The fans fire up as Fox runs in at the corner. Fox blocks another boot, but not the ENZIGIRI! “This is Awesome!” as Lee hops up. But Fox goes up after him! Lee stops the Arabian Press and throws elbows! Lee has Fox in the ropes for a SLEEPER!! Fox can’t be saved now, he has to TAP! Lee wins!
Winner: Lee Moriarty, by submission (still ROH Pure Division)
Fox couldn’t help but fall for the trap! Lee continues to be an evil genius, will he continue to paint technical masterpieces until he’s the greatest ROH Pure Champion of all time?
My Thoughts:
A very good ROH that clocked in at just under an hour, and with that there was less filler. Gates of Agony still got a great match out of Deonn Rusman & Cal Bloom (Cal formerly known as Von Wagner), which was also surprising but also great because the GOA get to not just do squash matches. They’re showing their skills by having these longer matches, but I feel like they should be doing that with established teams as well. Like, I appreciate the Outrunners got a win, but if Premier Athletes were going to lose again, feed them to Kaun & Liona so Kaun & Liona can move up the tag ranks.
Very good tag match from Sons of Texas VS Frat House, and very good match of Dark Order VS Infantry. I like that we’re building the feud of Frat House VS Dark Order where they’re costing each other their matches. I can only hope John Silver returns soon, and maybe even brings someone else with him so that we get a proper 4v4 before the end of this. One option would be Stu Grayson having one more match, another would be if they could get Alan Angels, and thirdly is of course recruiting someone brand new.
And very good Pure Championship match, but of course Lee Moriarty won again. It’s always an interesting move when they bring someone who hasn’t had a Pure Rules match into the Pure Rules title scene, but also surprising that Fox held his own for as long as he did. Supercard of Honor is May, who knows if they build someone up for Lee by then, and even then, no idea if they’d win. Honestly, a lot of TK’s energy seems to be focused on pretty much anything other than titles like the ROH Pure Championship. I’m not sure where Red Velvet went, either, she should be building towards a feud for the ROH Women’s World TV title. Problem is, they let Leyla Hirsch go so there goes that feud… But TK’s booking problems is a subject we could go on and on about in other articles.
My Score: 8.7/10
