Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.22.25

I avoided last week because when TNA starts making my IQ drop, I need time off to rethink how I make life decisions. And well…I have bad taste, just like with my women. The redder the flag, the better for me.

Explains so much about me and why I drink.

.@XiaBrookside has all the motivation she needs to take down @WeAreRosemary at #TNAUnderSiege!

Results:

Mustafa Ali vs Ace Austin

Ali continues his more vicious approach, he attacks Ace’s leg with as few Leg Scissors attempts, a few quick strikes, a lot of Lucha Style counters into impact moves but nothing sticks. Kicks, Side Suplexes, Mustafa eats a few strikes, powders and Ace hits his apron dance counter spot hitting the PK. Back in ring Ace tries to continue but Ace just grabs the bad leg into a DDT, then a Chop Block and wraps Ace’s knee into the post. Ace tries to fight back, a few strikes, looks for Backwards Splash but Ali kicks Ace’s legs, Tree of Woe, Mustafa goes for the Baseball slide, but Ace sits up and crotches himself into the post. Ace tries his Backwards Splash again but Mustafa moves and goes for a Sharpshooter, Ace struggles but gets to the ropes.

Extra strikes before Mustafa gets the best of it, 450 attempt from Mustafa misses, Ace rock Mustafa, looks for a Hesitation Dropkick but Ali pulls Tasha in the ring to stop Ace, pushes Tasha at him, Ace tries to put her down and eats the Chop Block, then Mustafa pulls out the Calf Killer on the bad leg and Ace taps out.

Aztec Warriors vs Jabroni Losers w/Eric Young

Laredo and bald dork have a lame tie up, a generic rope  run Indy/AEW shit leap frog and headscissors dumb thing spot. Aztecs double baldo, but he tags out to Temu (pre-Tarrifs) Yuta, Octagon punks out the dweeb, Aztec Double Thrust kick and the crowd is actually vibing with Aztecs. Jabronis have a slow and stupid distract spot for Temuta to bite Octagon and do a corner double team as Baldo tags in. These two dweebs really make everything worse. I would rather listen to War and Peace read by a naked Cody Deaner than ever see these dweebs on a show anywhere, they are the definition of “never drew a dime”.

Eric Young about to beat up a fan is more entertaining than this entire match, also why the camera pays attention to it, Laredo screws up his Tornillo Drive and hits his head on the apron. Laredo Driver into Arabian Moonsault tandem finish, Aztecs win.

Eddie Edwards w/Lish vs Jake Painter

Eddie beats the hell out of jobber, Cody is on commentary since the have the Under Siege match. Lish is more entertaining than Cody and the match. Holy hell two useless matches in a row. I’ve seen scuba gear in the desert more useful than the last 20 minutes of this show.

Fir$t Cla$$ vs Sami Callihan & Mike Santana

AJ and Santana start, AJ clocks him with a lariat but he kips up, Dropkicks AJ and KC tags in, calming AJ first and then a small comedy spot that turns into KC into a pancake. Santana tags out, KC avoids a few Sami moves, Sami lets him do some taunts and then lights him up. AJ tries to slow down Sami but KC gets tosses outside, AJ catches him, rocks the baby, it’s a great spot. KC hits a Slingblade First Class has a few fun tag moves of AJ throwing KC, locomotion Sentons, they put stuff together well, Sami rocks AJ, simultaneous tag.

KC and Santana counter each other, Santana hits the Rolling Buck Fifty as he follows a KC roll. Quick spots that ends with an Outline in Chalk, AJ misses the Lariat, Santana knocks him to the outside. They look to set up a tandem finish but AJ grabs Santana and rocks him, Sami tries to intervene but AJ does enough to distract, KC hits the Blessing in Disguise and picks up the win! Good for my boy!

#WWENXT's @MrStoneWWE is losing it. Frustration on FULL DISPLAY!

Vipress & Mazzeratti vs Spitfire

Another job match…they really suck at making good wrestling matches prior to bigger events.

Vipress is cute, but I think I slipped into a coma. Jody is a bad wrestler, and its a squash match. I couldn’t care less about this match existing.

Elijah & Joe Hendry vs Moose & Brian Myers

Elijah and Myers lock up first, old school Shoulder Tackle and Hip Toss into Headlock stuff. Myers retreats, tags out to Moose, Moose points are Hendry, and Moose wants a Test of Strength. Holy 1995 Batman…

Moose attacks the shoulder and quick tags as they isolate Hendry are strike the taped shoulder. Moose is legal, Hendry blocks the Suplex, Pump Kicks Joe in the chest, Hendry hits his stalling Suplex, tags in Elijah, rope walk Tornado DDT. Moose rolls into the tag to Myers and Elijah grabs Myers’ arm, wants another rope walk, but Dango shakes the ropes, Elijah crotches himself and Myers swarms. Elijah fires, tries to hit the ropes, but Baseball trip Raven pose from Myers as we go to commercial.

We come back, Moose hits a Backbreaker on Elijah and tags out to Myers who does the on the ground Front Facelock spot. Myers takes a cheap shot at Joe, Elijah catches him with a Knee Lift simultaneous tag, Hendry hits the Sack of Shit, Kip Up and turn. Wants the Standing Ovation, Moose rocks Joe, goes for the Escalara Crossbody, Joe Side steps it, Simultaneous Lariats, tag outs, Elijah ducks Myers and hits the Highwayman’s Farewell and they win.

Kaz attacks after the match, tries to urge Trick off of commentary, but Trick only cares about Trick. Hendry Uppercuts Kaz into Elijah’s waiting Guitar Shot. Ahh its old school TNA, Joe side steps and Guitar Shots.

Overall Score: 4.5/10

The Italian Debate was entertaining, the table was Japanese, the Opening and Closing matches we fun…the rest of the show was Hot Garbage. At least Mance Warner said match his freak, I enjoy that turn of phrase. But hot damn, TNA has had awful Go Home shows. They close decently well but when 80% of the show sucks, I can’t find myself caring.

This episode did nothing to push the B show app event. If anything it made Under Siege feel more irrelevant. I think Tommy Dreamer said something about bad storylines a few weeks ago, and that’s truly a lack of self awareness. These shows have felt like they’re written by a Kindergartener chewing on a crayon. Mostly awful, it was just bookended well.
