Venue: The Impact Zone (Orlando, FL)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

The World Championship was on the line this week on IMPACT Wrestling as Magnus defended against Samoa Joe in a Lockdown rematch. Also on the show The Beautiful People reunited minus one member, TNA World Tag Team Champs The Bro Mans saw triple threat action, Gail Kim took on former bodyguard Lei’D Tapa, James Storm attacked Gunner‘s Dad, and Bully Ray headed to the TNA offices to speak with Dixie Carter…but was “Roodely” interrupted. See what I did there? Wakka wakka.

Results and notes from the episode come courtesy of Chris Shore‘s much more detailed report over at ProWrestling.net.

MATCH RESULTS/NOTES

1. Ethan Carter III defeated Bobby Lashley via DQ when Willow interfered (5:17).

  • Post-Match: Willow placed EC3’s leg in between a ladder but EC3 escaped before Willow could cause any actual damage. 

2. Gail Kim defeated Lei’D Tapa via pinfall with EAT DEFEAT (Time Not Recorded).

  • Before the Match: Gail Kim announced that if she won, Lei’D Tapa would be forced to leave TNA.
  • Note: Due to the stipulation, Tapa is now gone from TNA. It appears to be legit as well, as Tapa tweeted that she was actually done with the company.

3. The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) (c) [w/ DJ Zema Ion] defeated The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) and *TNA X-Division Champion* Sanada & Tigre Uno to retain the TNA World Tag Team Titles (9:49).

4. Magnus (c) [w/ Abyss] defeated Samoa Joe [w/ MVP] via pinfall with the TOP ROPE ELBOWDROP to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Title (11:41).

  • Notes: Abyss and MVP were chained together at ringside. MVP eventually unchained himself but was taken out with a chair by Abyss. Abyss then hit Joe with a chair, allowing Magnus to score the victory.

SEGMENTS/NOTES

-The show began with a pier-six brawl between Abyss and Eric Young which began backstage and made its way to the ring. Abyss eventually got the upper hand, despite some brief interference from ODB, and choked EY out with a chain until officials finally broke it up. EY would be sent to the hospital, meaning that he would no longer be in Samoa Joe‘s corner chained to Abyss during the World Title match. Joe confronted MVP about this backstage and MVP offered to look for a replacement, Joe being wary because when MVP tries to help things go wrong. Eventually MVP just took on the role himself.

–Gunner cut an in-ring promo talking about his military background and doting on his Dad, who was ringside. James Storm came out to interrupt. Eventually Storm handcuffed Gunner to the middle rope, forcing him to watch as Storm beat his Dad up, cracking a beer bottle over his head.

–Angelina Love called Velvet Sky to the ring, and once again asked for a Beautiful People reunion. Sky accepted, then they called out Knockouts Champ Madison Rayne to complete the trio. Rayne said she was already treated poorly, and had outgrown the stable, turning down the reunion. Later on Love caught up with Rayne backstage and asked again. Rayne said she’d think about it, so Love attacked her instead, choking her and saying The Beautiful People were her and Sky, and that’s it.

–Bully Ray traveled to TNA HQ to speak with Dixie Carter, having been invited by her. He said his piece in her office, but it turned out she wasn’t in the chair the entire time (?). Bobby Roode then ran in and laid Ray out, saying he was the one who had invited Ray and led him into a trap.

-A vignette followed Knux as he ventured home to check on family business and see a woman.

‘TNA IMPACT Wrestling’ 3/13/14 Results + Notes – Lockdown Fallout, Bully Ray Talks, Brittany Debuts, Angelina Love Returns

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: The Impact Zone (Orlando, FL)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

A week after helping Team MVP secure the win, and the company, at Lockdown Bully Ray had something to say this week on IMPACT Wrestling…but not before getting attacked by Bobby Roode earlier in the show. Also on the show new TNA Knockout Brittany (the former Santana Garrett) debuted, X-Division Champion Sanada teamed with Tigre Uno to take on The Bro Mans in non-title action, Mr. Anderson faced Samuel Shaw in a street fight, and in the main event Willow emerged to take on Rockstar Spud.

Results and notes come from James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over at PWTorch.

MATCH RESULTS/NOTES

1. Abyss defeated Samoa Joe via DQ when Eric Young interfered (9:33).

  • Later in the Show: Joe and EY caught up with one another backstage. EY said what happened to Abyss is his fault and it was his own responsibility to take care of it.

2. Brittany defeated Gail Kim [w/ Lei’D Tapa] via pinfall (2:05).

  • Post-Match: Kim berated Tapa until Tapa shoved her. Kim slapped her back, and Tapa attacked until they were broken up by security.

3. Non-Title Match: *TNA X-Division Champion* Sanada & Tigre Uno defeated *TNA Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) [w/ DJ Zema Ion] when Sanada pinned Robbie E with a moonsault (2:46).

  • Before the Match: The Great Muta was shown backstage giving Sanada advice and saying he was representing the Japanese wrestling industry.

4. Street Fight: Mr. Anderson defeated Samuel Shaw via pinfall with the MIC CHECK (3:54).

  • Earlier in the Show: Shaw revealed that he was carrying around a mannequin to represent Christy Hemme.
  • Notes: Anderson kissed the mannequin and threw it at Shaw, who freaked and left himself open to eat the Mic Check for the loss.

5. Willow defeated Rockstar Spud via DQ when Willow hit Spud with his umbrella (2:25).

  • Post-Match: Willow grabbed a ladder, beat Spud up with it, then hit a splash from the top to finish Dixie’s minion off. Bully Ray then made his way past Willow for the final segment of the show.

SEGMENTS/NOTES

-New majority owner MVP opened the show, saying Dixieland was now closed and went through his “Motivate, Validate, Participate” plan going forward because those are also his initials! World Champ Magnus made his way out and put over the “Reign of Magnus” still going on, saying that while Carter fumbled control of TNA he retained the World Title thanks to his new associate. He introduced Abyss out to the ring, new mask and all. He’s now motivated by money as well as destruction. Samoa Joe was then called out to the ring and a match between he and Abyss abruptly started.

–Bully Ray arrived backstage, only to beaten up by Ethan Carter III, Rockstar Spud, The Bro Mans, and Zema Ion. Spud choked Ray with his own chain as Bobby Roode yelled at him, saying no one screws with him. Ray would brush himself off later and continue on.

–A “Thank You Dixie” celebration was held in-ring by Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter III, giant photo of Dixie Carter and everything sitting on an easel. Spud spoke on things, choking back tears, and ran a “Thank You Dixie” propaganda video. MVP came out and said it was time for Spud to fulfill his obligations as a wrestler, which Spud protested because he’s so tiny. MVP eventually talked some confidence into him then announced that Spud would face Willow tonight. Carter laughed so MVP introduced his opponent for next week…Bobby Lashley, who is now signed with the company. Lashley smashed the Dixie photo over Spud, then stared Carter down to end the segment.

-The returning Angelina Love made her way out to the ring, calling out her former running buddy Velvet Sky. Love called for a Beautiful People reunion but Sky said she needed more time to think about it, as she wanted to move forward instead of go backwards.

–Bully Ray made his way out immediately following the main event for the closing segment. Ray said he did what he did at Lockdown to save Bobby Roode from himself, preventing another “Dixie Carter”. Roode made his way out and a brawl ensued, ending with Ray powerbombing Roode through a table in the center of the ring. Ray stood over Roode to conclude the episode.

‘TNA Lockdown 2014’ Results + Notes – Magnus Vs. Joe, Lethal Lockdown, Bobby Lashley Returns, Great Muta in Action

lockdown magnus

Date: March 9, 2014

Venue: BankUnited Center (Coral Gables, FL)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

Last night TNA held its first PPV of 2014, Lockdown, which featured a Lethal Lockdown main event for majority control of TNA. Check out the results and notes from the show below, courtesy of ImpactWrestling.com. All matches took place inside of a steel cage so keep that in mind when reading this.

MATCH RESULTS/NOTES

1. *TNA X-Division Champion* Sanada, Yasu, & The Great Muta defeated Chris Sabin & Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) when Sanada pinned Daniels with a moonsault.

  • Notes: Yasu is Wrestle-1 star Yasufumi Nakanoue.

2. Escape Rules: Samuel Shaw defeated Mr. Anderson.

  • Before the Match: Shaw came out to the ring, got upset that Christy Hemme wasn’t around, and climbed to the top of the cage demanding to see her before Anderson broke up his sort-of suicide attempt to get the match started.
  • The Finish: Mr. Anderson had the match won by escaping the cage, but the ref was out cold at the time. Christy Hemme, who made her way ringside, was then chased into the cage by Shaw so Anderson went back into the cage to rescue her. Shaw then knocked Anderson out, escaping the cage to win the match now that the ref was awake, and chased Hemme to the back.

3. Tigre Uno defeated Manik via pinfall with the SABRETOOTH (Corkscrew Splash).

  • Note: This was Uno’s official TNA debut after wrestling a few matches on Xplosion. His ring name in Mexico was Extreme Tiger.

4. Last Man Standing: Gunner defeated James Storm after a superplex from the cage through a pair of chairs.

5. Madison Rayne (c) defeated Gail Kim [w/ Lei’D Tapa] via pinfall to retain the TNA Knockouts Title.

6. Magnus (c) defeated Samoa Joe via submission with the REAR-NAKED CHOKE to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Title.

  • The Finish: Abyss made his way up through the ring, beat up Joe, and allowed Magnus to secure the victory. Eric Young later made his way out to confront Abyss at the entrance area.

7. Lethal Lockdown: Team MVP (MVP, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, & Willow) defeated Team Dixie (Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, Robbie E, & Jessie Godderz) when MVP pinned Roode with a YAKUZA KICK.

  • Before the Match: Dixie Carter revealed her “Insurance Policy” to be Bully Ray, who acted as special referee.
  • The Finish: Ray turned on Dixie, putting Roode through a table and allowing MVP to score the victory. He then put Roode through another table as Team MVP celebrated their victory.
  • Note: With this win MVP gains majority control of TNA so a new era begins or whatever!

OTHER NOTES

–Ethan Carter III came out and declared an “Open Challenge” since his original opponent, Kurt Angle, was injured and couldn’t compete. The challenge was answered by Bobby Lashley who beat down Carter until Carter retreated. The match was never official.

‘TNA IMPACT Wrestling’ 3/6/14 Results + Notes – Final Lockdown Hype, Kenny King Resurfaces, Roode Vs. Richards

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: Wembly Arena (London, England)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

TNA bids goodbye to England and hello to Lockdown this week on IMPACT Wrestling as the company makes the final push for Sunday’s PPV. On this week’s show Team Dixie and Team MVP battle for Lethal Lockdown advantage, Samuel Shaw gets his creep on (as usual), six Knockouts go head to head in trios action, and World Champ Magnus has a face to face with challenger Samoa Joe three days before they lock horns.

Results and notes from the episode come courtesy of James Caldwell‘s much more detailed and interesting recap/analysis over at PWTorch.

MATCH RESULTS/NOTES

1. Elimination Match: Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, & Robbie E [w/ Jessie Godderz & DJ Zema Ion] fought to a no-contest with MVP & The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) (9:00).

  • Notes: This match was to decide which team got the advantage at Lethal Lockdown but was thrown out when Aries continued to beat down Richards after being DQed, hurting his shoulder. Roode and Richards were the two men remaining at the end.
  • Later On: Earl Hebner checked on Richards in the trainer’s room, and told him he had one hour and then he would face Roode one-on-one to decide the LL advantage.

2. Eric Young and Samuel Shaw fought to an apparent no-contest (2:20).

  • Notes: Anderson handled the introductions to shield Hemme away from the creepy grasp of Shaw. Shaw threw a drink in EY’s face, causing the bell to ring, then attacked Anderson. He choked Anderson out then said he would claim what was rightfully his, meaning Hemme who was then shown backstage scared out of her mind.

3. *TNA Knockouts Champion* Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky, & ODB defeated Gail Kim, Lei’D Tapa, & Alpha Female [w/ Chris Sabin] when Sky pinned Female (4:10).

  • Note: No bell actually sounded to start the match but it did end with a pinfall so that must have been just a communication snafu.

4. Bobby Roode defeated Davey Richards [w/ Eddie Edwards & MVP] via submission with the CROSSFACE (5:24).

  • Note: Team Roode now has the advantage going into the Lethal Lockdown match this Sunday.

SEGMENTS/NOTES

–Bobby Roode and The Bro Mans [w/ DJ Zema Ion] made their way out to open the show. He talked about his 10% ownership of TNA should his team win Sunday, which brought out Austin Aries (still wearing the X-Division Title because this was taped before he lost it to Senada in Japan). Aries demanded half of Roode’s 10% stake if they win. Robbie E and Jessie Godderz also called for a piece but he shut them down and said all that matters is winning. MVP then made his way out with The Wolves but was interrupted by Dixie Carter before he could announce his mystery partner for Lockdown. After she said her piece, MVP announced that Jeff Hardy would be part of Team MVP this Sunday. Roode then got mouthy so MVP popped him, leading to the opening six-man tag team match.

-After his match with EY, Samuel Shaw spent the show looking for Christy Hemme, including going through the Knockouts locker room and scaring the hell out of Velvet Sky. Shaw thought he found her in the makeup room, but it was just Mr. Anderson wearing a wig. Anderson punched Shaw then drew circles on his face with lipstick telling him to leave Hemme alone. Anderson walked off and Shaw clutched the red wig, saying he’d see both on Sunday.

–Ethan Carter III came out to the ring and called Kurt Angle out. Angle eventually showed up after some insults were thrown, in street clothes and limping. Carter bailed, then came back out and put his leglock on Angle until a ref finally broke it up.

–Kenny King reemerged via vignette, showing him living it up in Las Vegas. His nickname is “King of the Night” now.

-Another Willow promo aired. It’s likely that Willow will show up at Lockdown instead of Jeff Hardy proper.

–James Storm and Gunner had an in-ring back and forth that devolved into a brawl. Storm got the final shot and left the ring, leaving Gunner to gather his thoughts. They meet one-on-one at Lockdown.

-The show concluded with TNA World Champ Magnus and Samoa Joe having a face-to-face before their big match on Sunday. They did a whole lot of jawing back and forth before a brawl broke out. Joe locked Magnus in the rear-naked choke and Magnus frantically tapped to conclude the episode.

Updated ‘TNA Lockdown 2014’ Lineup; The Great Muta to Compete in 6-Man Tag

lockdown 2014

UPDATE (3/7): The lineup has once again been changed. CLICK HERE for the updated card.

Admittedly TNA coverage has been very light since the new year, but Lockdown has quietly (or not so quietly for those who still watch the show) amassed an interesting lineup. It has been made even more interesting as it has been announced that The Great Muta will actually be wrestling on the show in a 6-man tag team match, teaming with Wrestle-1 star Senada and the officially debuting Tigre Uno to face Chris Sabin & Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian). Muta and Senada were originally supposed to just make an appearance at Lockdown as part of an ongoing partnership between TNA and Wrestle-1 but now that he’s competing…that’s got me interested. Despite how terrible his Wrestle Kingdom 8 match was.

Here is the announced lineup so far for Lockdown, which takes place on March 9th in Miami, FL and live on PPV. All of the matches will once again be contested inside a steel cage after deviating from the format for last year’s event.

  • Main Event: Magnus (c) Vs. Samoa Joe for the TNA World Heavyweight Title
  • Lethal Lockdown: Team MVP (MVP, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, & ???) Vs. Team Dixie (Bobby Roode, *TNA X-Division Champion* Austin Aries, Robbie E, & Jessie Godderz) for controlling interest in TNA.
  • Madison Rayne (c) Vs. Gail Kim for the TNA Knockouts Title
  • Gunner Vs. James Storm
  • Kurt Angle Vs. Ethan Carter III
  • Mr. Anderson Vs. Samuel Shaw
  • The Great Muta, Senada, & Tigre Uno Vs. Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, & Frankie Kazarian

TNA ‘IMPACT Wrestling’ 2/27/14 Results + Notes – Angle’s HOF Induction, MVP Vs. Roode

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: Wembley Arena (London, England)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

IMPACT Wrestling moves to London this week as MVP takes on Bobby Roode in the main event, with Austin Aries as special guest referee. Also on the show Kurt Angle finally accepts his TNA Hall Of Fame induction, Samoa Joe faces Magnus‘ hand-picked opponent, and Gunner confronts James Storm about last week’s betrayal.

Results and notes from this week’s episode were gathered from James Caldwell‘s much more informative recap/analysis over at PWTorch.

MATCH RESULTS/NOTES

1. Triple Threat: The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) [w/ Zema Ion] defeated *TNA Tag Team Champions* The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) and Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) (5:27).

  • Before the Match: The Bro Mans asked Bobby Roode to join his Lethal Lockdown team to get revenge on The Wolves. Roode said they were in…if they could win the triple threat match.
  • Note: Since they got the victory The Bro Mans will join Roode on the “Team Dixie” Lethal Lockdown team at Lockdown.

2. Ethan Carter III defeated Doug Williams via submission (1:21).

  • Post-Match: Carter kept the submission applied until the refs finally forced him off.

3. Samoa Joe defeated Bad Bones [w/ *TNA World Champion* Magnus] via submission with the REAR NAKED CHOKE (1:18).

  • Before the Match: Magnus introduced Bad Bones as his handpicked opponent for Joe.

4. Lei’D Tapa [w/ Gail Kim] & Alpha Female [w/ Chris Sabin] defeated *TNA Knockouts Champion* Madison Rayne & Velvet Sky when Tapa pinned Rayne (2:32).

  • Post-Match: A brawl broke out until ODB came out to make the save for the good guys.

5. Bobby Roode defeated MVP via pinfall with the ROODE BOMB (9:38).

  • Notes: Austin Aries was the special guest ref and cost MVP the match.
  • Post-Match: Aries “checked” on MVP as Roode looked on a bit confused at what happened.

SEGMENTS + NOTES

–Kurt Angle was inducted into the TNA HOF by Jeremy Borash but his speech was cut short by Ethan Carter III. After some jawing back and forth it was announced that Angle/EC3 will meet at Lockdown.

–Gunner confronted James Storm in the ring about what had happened last week. Storm said he attacked Gunner to give him a taste of what it was like when Gunner stole the TNA World Title shot away from him. Storm also took offense to Gunner giving him “scraps” (the Tag Title shot briefcase) and making his name off of Storm. Gunner played up his military service and Storm belittled it, saying no one gives a damn and he owes him nothing. The two then brawled to end the segment. The two would later be seen brawling once more backstage, and these two will duke it out at Lockdown.

–Samuel Shaw invited Christy Hemme to meet him in the ring. He says he’s here to “protect” her from other men and their desires, then out came Mr. Anderson to interrupt, telling him to shut up and calling him creepy. Shaw said he’s never done anything creepy to Hemme but she’s a woman who would definitely like that to happen to her. Hemme slapped Shaw in the face and Anderson ran in to try and prevent any further damage. Instead Shaw got the better of him and knocked him out with a Sleeperhold.

-The third Willow promo in three weeks aired, continuing to build the hype.

–Tigre Uno was announced to be appearing at Lockdown. He’s better known as Extreme Tiger and worked a couple of Xplosion matches under the “Ultimate Tiger” name.

‘TNA Impact Wrestling’ 2/20/14 Results + Notes – Magnus Vs. Gunner for World Title, Wolves Vs. Bad Influence, Dixie Makes Bobby Roode An Offer He Can’t Refuse

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: Manchester Arena (Manchester, England)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

It’s World Title action this week on IMPACT Wrestling as Magnus defends the gold against Gunner in the main event. Also on the show The Wolves face Bad Influence, Dixie Carter gives Bobby Roode an enticing offer, Samuel Shaw goes overboard in his obsession with Christy Hemme, and Samoa Joe eats The Bro Mans and Zema Ion alive.  ALIVE.

As always (or until I’m yelled at), results and notes are gathered from James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over at PW Torch.

Match Results/Notes

1. Handicap Match: Samoa Joe defeated Zema Ion & *TNA World Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) when he made Ion tap to the REAR-NAKED CHOKE (3:40).

2. Street Fight (Non-Title): Gail Kim [w/ Lei’D Tapa] defeated *TNA Knockouts Champion* Madison Rayne via pinfall(4:17).

3. The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeated Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) when Edwards pinned Daniels (5:45).

4. No-DQ Match: Magnus (c) defeated Gunner via pinfall to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Title (16:36).

  • Notes: James Storm turned heel, hitting Gunner with a Last Call Superkick to set up the pinfall from Magnus.

Stories/Notes

–Bobby Roode came out to cut a promo, saying that the business had beaten him down. Dixie Carter made her way out and made him an offer: captain her Lethal Lockdown team at Lockdown and get 10% ownership of TNA if/when Team Dixie gets the victory. Roode accepted the offer then warned Carter that he’d get revenge if she somehow screwed him over.

–Samuel Shaw creeped on Christy Hemme all night, eventually leading him into attacking Mr. Anderson and knocking her unconscious. He took her to a room where she woke up and asked where Anderson was. Shaw then shooed the cameraman away, leaving her fate in doubt.

–MVP asked Austin Aries to captain his Lethal Lockdown team. Aries said he’d consider it and give him an answer later.

-The show opened with a pier-six brawl between MVP & The Wolves and Magnus, Rockstar Spud, & Ethan Carter III. When The Wolves went to attack Magnus and EC3, the former bailed leaving the latter to bear the punishment. EC3 then confronted Magnus in the back about it, increasing the tension between both men.

-Speaking of Ethan Carter III he stated that he would announce the end of Kurt Angle’s career during Angle’s HOF induction ceremony next week.

-Another Willow vignette aired.

TNA ‘IMPACT Wrestling’ 2/13/14 Results + Notes – Anderson Vs. Ray in a Casket Match, MVP and The Wolves Wrestle, Sabin Vs. Sky (Almost)

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: Manchester Arena (Manchester, England)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz

TNA moves to Manchester for this week’s IMPACT Wrestling, which features the in-ring debuts of MVP and The Wolves, James Storm & Gunner making up, Abyss/Joseph Park confronting Eric Young, and in the main event Mr. Anderson taking on Bully Ray in a Casket Match.

Results and notes come courtesy of James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over PW Torch.

Match Results/Notes

1. Ladder Match: James Storm & Gunner defeated *TNA World Champion* Mangus & Ethan Carter III, grabbing both the World Title shot briefcase and the Tag Team Title shot briefcase (8:56).

  • Notes: This was originally Gunner Vs. EC3 for both briefcases but Magnus showed up and interfered, leading to Storm coming out to even the odds. MVP then came out and announced that it was now a tag team match, holla holla holla.

2. Samoa Joe & The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeated Zema Ion & *TNA World Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) when Joe made Ion tap to the REAR-NAKED CHOKE (5:33).

3. MVP defeated Rockstar Spud via pinfall with the DRIVE-BY KICK (0:57).

4. Casket Match: Mr. Anderson defeated Bully Ray (12:47).

Segments/Notes

-The show opened with Dixie Carter, Magnus, Ethan Carter III, & Rockstar Spud in the ring. Lots of trash talk until MVP and Samoa Joe emerged. Gunner then showed up and announced he was cashing in his World Title shot next week, with the winner facing Joe at Lockdown. Carter said he may not have the briefcase, announcing that he would face EC3 tonight with the briefcase on the line. MVP one-upped her and said EC3 would also put his Tag Title briefcase on the line. Eventually it was decided this would happen in a ladder match, leading into the first match of the night.

–Abyss, not wearing his mask, called Eric Young out to the ring. Abyss laid into him for what he had done, saying he couldn’t be the monster anymore and needed help. He told Young that they weren’t friends and he needed to find someone who actually understood him so he could sort all of his stuff out/fix EY’s mistake in revealing Abyss and Joseph Park to be the same person.

–Samuel Shaw caught up with Christy Hemme backstage. He was totally cool with keeping things professional but creepily took in her scent when she walked off. Hemme, who ended up staying back to see what he would do, was disgusted and creeped out.

–Chris Sabin and Velvet Sky made their entrances for their match. Sabin called her a skank and avoided a low blow with a cup, but Sky managed to hit him once again after he removed it. Out came an amazonian woman who attacked Sky and whipped her around in a Full Nelson until she passed out. Sabin covered as the woman made a 3-count and they left the ring together. She wasn’t referred to by name on the show but she’s known as Alpha Female in other companies.

–Bobby Roode was escorted out of the building by security after getting into Dixie Carter‘s face earlier in the show.

-A “Willow” vignette aired, which was just Jeff Hardy in his old OMEGA gimmick being creepy and weird. Funnier than it should have been. See for yourself.

–MVP and Dixie Carter met in Dixie’s office at the conclusion of the show. Carter offered to buy out MVP, but he didn’t go for it saying he came here to make TNA a better company. He then proposed a “Lethal Lockdown” match at Lockdown between Team Dixie and Team MVP for total control of TNA. Carter was not having it and MVP said some ominous words before leaving and concluding the episode.

‘TNA Impact Wrestling’ 2/6/14 Results + Notes – Angle Vs. Magnus, Monster’s Ball, MVP Speaks

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: SSE Hydro (Glasgow, Scotland)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Jeremy Borash

After revealing himself as the mystery investor at the end of last week’s show, MVP breaks his silence this week on IMPACT Wrestling and announces his intentions. Also on the show Abyss faces Eric Young in a Monster’s Ball match, Bobby Roode faces Samoa Joe for Joe’s #1 contendership, Bully Ray makes short work of Curry Man, and Austin Aries defends the X-Division Title against Zema Ion.

Results and notes from the show come courtesy of James Caldwell‘s much more interesting and detailed recap/analysis over at PW Torch.

Match Results + Notes

1. Monster’s Ball: Abyss defeated Eric Young via pinfall with the BLACK HOLE SLAM (9:37).

  • Before the Match: Abyss and EY started brawling backstage and it eventually spilled out to the ring where the match officially started.
  • Notes: Towards the end Young unmasked Abyss, revealing him to be Joseph Park. A stunned Abyss then hit Young with the Black Hole Slam to get the victory.
  • Post-Match: Abyss stared into a piece of broken mirror, in shock that he is actually Park.

2. Austin Aries (c) defeated Zema Ion [w/ *TNA Tag Team Champions* The Bro Mans] via pinfall with the BRAINBUSTER to retain the TNA X-Division Title (2:11).

  • Before the Match: Aries came out in street clothes and talked about winning every title in TNA. He then vowed to once again cash in his X-Division Title for a World Title shot. He was interrupted by The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) who distracted him long enough for Zema Ion to hit him from behind with the Feast or Fired briefcase. Ion then cashed it in for his title shot.

3. Non-Title Match: Kurt Angle defeated *TNA World Champion* Magnus via DQ when Ethan Carter III interfered (2:30).

  • Post-Match: Carter took a chair to Angle’s hurt left knee and continued abusing it until the ref finally pulled him off. Angle was stretchered out of the ringside area as Carter watched with no remorse.

4. #1 Contender’s Match: Samoa Joe defeated Bobby Roode via submission with the REAR-NAKED CHOKE (6:52).

  • Earlier in the Show: Roode came to Dixie Carter looking for her to sign a contract giving him the title match at Lockdown. Carter instead put him in a #1 contender’s match against Joe, which pissed him off.
  • Note: With this win Joe moves on to challenge Magnus for the TNA World Title at Lockdown in March.

News + Notes

–MVP broke his silence in an in-ring promo, saying that he had invested money into TNA because he loved wrestling and didn’t want the company to fall victim to Dixie Carter’s shenanigans. He later met with Carter (and Rockstar Spud) during the show’s concluding segment, saying that he planned to be hands-on and that the party was over for Carter and company.

–Curry Man came out to wrestle a match but instead Bully Ray piledrove him then placed him in a casket to send a message to Mr. Anderson.

–Chris Sabin met with Velvet Sky in a purple room backstage, broke up with her, then challenged her to a match and left her crying.

-A video played of Christy Hemme telling Samuel Shaw backstage that they need to keep things professional, put off by his weirdness. Shaw said he understood then made a creep face after she left.

–The Wolves were only seen at the beginning of the show, escorting MVP into the building.

‘TNA Impact Wrestling’ 1/30/14 Results + Notes – Mystery Investor Revealed, Joe/Angle Vs. Magnus/EC3,

impact-wrestling-generic

Venue: The SSE Hydro (Glasgow, Scotland)

Commentators: Mike Tenay & Jeremy Borash

TNA’s UK tour continued this week on IMPACT Wrestling as TNA’s “mystery investor” was revealed, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle fought for their jobs (and a potential title shot), Abyss and Eric Young challenged The Bro Mans for the Tag Team Titles, and Bully Ray made an interesting challenge to blood enemy Mr. Anderson.

Read on for results and notes from the show, gathered from James Caldwell‘s much more detailed and interesting recap/analysis over at PW Torch.

Match Results + Notes

1. *TNA Knockouts Champion* Madison Rayne & Velvet Sky defeated Gail Kim & Lei’D Tapa when Sky pinned Kim following IN YOUR FACE (1:54).

  • Notes: The Rayne/Sky team was a “Beautiful People” reunion and TNA hyped it as such with a look back at their former partnership.
  • Post-Match: Chris Sabin came to the ring, saying he has tried to talk to Sky for a week but she hasn’t said anything despite still being his girlfriend. Sabin offered her a chance to apologize but instead Sky dumped him.

2. James Storm & Gunner defeated Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) when Gunner pinned Kazarian following a flying headbutt (8:01).

  • Before the Match: Storm and Gunner had an in-ring segment where they seemingly patched things up and reformed their team/mended their friendship. Bad Influence interrupted and challenged them to a match, asking for Gunner to put his World Title shot briefcase on the line if he trusted Storm so much. GunStorm accepted and the impromptu match happened…obviously.
  • Note: Gunner’s World Title briefcase was on the line.

3. The Bro Mans (Robbie E & Jessie Godderz) (c) [w/ DJ Zema Ion] defeated Abyss & Eric Young by DQ to retain the TNA World Tag Team Titles when Abyss attacked the ref (6:00).

  • Post-Match: Abyss left the ring and made his way up the aisle until EY stopped him and said there was still one final experiment (referencing the ongoing Park/Abyss story). He challenged Abyss to a Monster’s Ball match next week which caused Abyss to smile. Presumably that means he accepted the challenge.

4. Samoa Joe & Kurt Angle defeated *TNA World Heavyweight Champion* Magnus & Ethan Carter III when Joe made Magnus tap to the REAR-NAKED CHOKE (11:04).

  • The Finish: Carter accidentally distracted Magnus, allowing Joe to lock in the choke for the victory. Seems to be a little feud brewing there.
  • Note: Since Joe made Magnus tap he’s now the #1 contender for the TNA World Title.
  • Post-Match: Joe got on the mic and told Magnus to shine the belt real nice for him because he’s going to kill him for it. Angle then told Dixie Carter, who had made her way to ringside with Rockstar Spud after the match, to get out her checkbook because it was time for him to get inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame, telling her to bring the investor as well. Carter freaked about the investor and demanded to see who he/she was. The investor was revealed to be former WWE star MVP who appeared on the entrance stage to end the show.

Segments + Notes

-The show opened with a backstage brawl between Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Ethan Carter III, Rockstar Spud, and Magnus. We then cut to the arena proper where Magnus, EC3, and Spud made their way out. Magnus heeled on the Scotland crowd and then said he beat Sting all by himself last week. Carter interrupted and asked if Magnus really thought he did this on his own but before that could go any further Angle and Joe interrupted. They cleared the ring then Angle bemoaned the fact Sting was now gone and how Magnus the “paper champion” could turn against them after they let him into the Main Event Mafia. Magnus felt threatened and called for a tag team match, saying if he and EC3 won Angle and Joe would also leave TNA forever, and Joe raised the stakes by saying if either he or Angle got the win on Magnus himself they would become the new #1 contender to the TNA World Title. Dixie Carter came out and tried to talk Magnus out of it but he was dead set on this happening.

–Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe took their frustrations out on Bobby Roode backstage, the man who helped Magnus get rid of AJ Styles and Sting due to his interference. Roode later barged into Dixie Carter‘s office and said he wanted a title shot at Lockdown for his troubles and until she gave him an answer he would do her no more favors.

–Rockstar Spud vowed to get The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) to spill about the “mystery investor”. They came out in black suits and Spud tried to press them to no avail. Spud got angry and tried to big time them by bringing up that he works for Dixie Carter. Spud slapped Richards who felt nothing then they took him out with a double team move of some sort. Edwards got on the mic and said everyone would find out the investor’s identity at the same time and also announced that if anyone interfered in the main event they would be fired.

-A video played from “Earlier in the Week” of Samuel Shaw and Christy Hemme hanging out in his house. Hemme wanted to take a tour of the place and unbeknownst to her Shaw took a lock of her hair. We then saw a different room in the house completely adorned in Hemme memorabilia. Shaw kissed a picture of Hemme in the room then creepily said he would join her in a minute. It should be noted that Hemme was doing all of the ring announcing and was apparently never told about this creepy footage.

–Bully Ray wheeled a coffin to the ring and challenged Mr. Anderson to a Casket Match. Anderson came out, Ray threatened his kids some more, then he slammed the lid of the coffin into Ray’s face. Anderson hit Ray with the GREEN BAY PLUNGE inside the ring and hit him with a chair a few times until Ray got out of dodge. I guess this match is on for the future.
