Really enjoying this Jord it feels like the start of something special so hopefully you'll be able to keep it going. Everything your doing at the minute is simple booking. Simple is good and it's giving you the chance to establish your roster.
LockDown is shaping up well. Expect Magnus to retain this time round as it feels your slowly building towards Magnus/Roode which works for, bigeth time. Like to see what changes take place following the PPV.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Mar. 6, 2014 @ London, UK. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
We are once again in London for the final stop before Lockdown and the last of 6 Impact Wrestling episodes broadcast from all over the UK! Mike Tenay and Taz are at ringside and they put over our blockbuster tag team main event pitting The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) against the reformed Beer Money, Inc. (Bobby Roode and James Storm)! Taz wonders if Roode and Storm can co-operate given their past with each other, however, with both of them part of Team Dixie at Lethal Lockdown they might just have to co-operate. Before Taz and Tenay can go on any further, the music of Magnus hits and he comes out from the back looking dressed for a match. Tenay wonders why Magnus is out here right now as he is not scheduled to be. Magnus calls out Samoa Joe, telling the crowd that he doesn't want to wait until Lockdown to whoop Joe's ass and retain his title. After a few moments, Joe's music hits but he doesn't come out from the back. Christy Hemme introduces him once again, but Joe still fails to appear. We cut to the backstage area where we see Abyss standing over a downed Joe with Janice in his hand! Magnus orders the referee to ring the bell or else he will have Dixie Carter fire him. The referee has no choice other than to then ring the bell and start the match.
World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeats Samoa Joe via Count-out to retain As the referee counts to 10, Magnus tries to get the crowd to join in on the count but they are having none of it as many of the crowd were here to see Joe. The referee reaches the 10 count and calls for the bell, awarding Magnus the victory due to count-out! The crowd are more than unhappy.
Magnus celebrates his victory like he has just won the World Title for the first time, doing laps of the ring before taking a mic again and thanking his family and Dixie. Magnus then says that he is smarter than Joe and always will be. He asks the crowd to cast their minds back to a few weeks back when Rockstar Spud and Dixie both lead Abyss astray--they done that because Magnus saw something in The Monster and he personally scouted him as his insurance policy. Magnus then says "Janice, meet Joe... Joe, meet Janice" before dropping the mic and heading to the back with his title held high.
Commercial Break
Magnus is shown entering Dixie Carter's office where James Storm, Abyss, The BroMans, Rockstar Spud, Ethan Carter III and Bobby Roode begin showering him with party poppers and champagne. Magnus thanks Abyss for dealing with Joe but especially for leaving enough of Joe for Magnus to deal with at Lockdown. Roode doesn't look too happy as he cuts off Magnus, revealing to the group that he has gone and found the last 2 members of Team Dixie at Lockdown--Jessie and Robbie! Dixie loves it, telling Bobby that he made a wise choice as who better than the tag champions. Dixie says that if she is paying Abyss so much to be their insurance policy then she wants her money's worth. She reminds everyone that Eric Young is tagging with Kurt Angle later to take on EC3 and Spud. She nods at Abyss, who then immediately leaves the room, seemingly on the hunt for his opponent at Lockdown, Eric Young!
The Motor City Machineguns (Alex Shelley & X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin) defeat Manik and Ultimate Tiger After the shambles of an opening "match", the crowd were treated to an amazing tag match that showcased the X-Division for exactly what it is. The makeshift duo of Manik and Ultimate Tiger worked surprisingly well due to their similar quick styles, however, the experienced Guns had an answer for everything that Manik and Tiger pulled off. Every so often we would cut to the back where the man who will challenge Sabin for X-Title at Lockdown, Austin Aries, was shown watching the match on a monitor. After Ultimate Tiger almost scored the win for himself and Manik following a Sabertooth Splash on Shelley, the champ broke it up just in time before The Guns then picked up the victory with the Made in Detroit on Manik.
Sabin and Shelley celebrate their victory as the pair of them look exhausted since Manik and Tiger brought more of a fight than they were seemingly expecting. We cut to the back where Gunner is shown taping up his wrists ahead of his match later on tonight against Samuel Shaw. Jeff Jarrett walks into the room and tells Gunner that he saw how close he was to beating James Storm last week and that he knows Gunner and Storm are far from over. Jarrett likes the fight, determination and intensity that Gunner shows and if Gunner wants to get his hands on Storm at Lockdown then he's offering Gunner a spot on Team Jarrett! Gunner accepts and shakes hands with Jarrett.
Abyss is shown looking for Eric Young backstage. Abyss bumps into the split personality Samuel Shaw, who has developed beef with EY over the past few weeks. Shaw tells Abyss that Young was just down the hall not long ago. Abyss clocks Young and charges after him, blindsiding him as he talks with his wife ODB! Young begins to fight back but Abyss overpowers him, tossing him into a nearby wall which leaves EY lying on the floor winded. Abyss lets out a huge yell before slowly heading off. We see Samuel Shaw watching from a distance, grinning from ear to ear.
Commercial Break
Kurt Angle and Eric Young defeat Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud Due to Abyss' attack on Young just before the commercial, Kurt went at it alone against EC3 and Spud for the majority of the match. Despite the disadvantage he faced, Kurt still looked strong out there as he took took the fight to Ethan and Spud. After some underhanded tactics, they were able to regain control as they worked over Kurt's leg. When it looked like EC3 was sizing Kurt up for the One Percenter Eric Young came rushing down the ramp and scaled to the top rope. Young surprised Ethan with a Missile Dropkick before then hitting Spud with a series of scoop slams as Spud repeatedly charged back at him. Kurt and Young cleared house before Kurt hit Spud with an Olympic Slam and Young finished him off with a Diving Elbow for 3 as Ethan done nothing to help, instead watching on from outside.
Post-match, EC3 helped a dazed Spud out of the ring before he takes a microphone off of Christy Hemme. Ethan tells Kurt that he and Spud are heading on a jaunt before they hop on the Carter family private jet bound for Miami for Lockdown this Sunday. Carter promises Kurt that he will find out exactly what he is talking about come Lockdown before dropping the mic and slowly backing up the rampway.
Jeremy Borash is with Madison Rayne, who up next will defend her Knockouts title against a women who pinned her last week in tag action. Madison tells Borash that Tapa may be bigger and stronger than her, but she is a fighting champion and that she will give it her all to ensure she leaves the UK and returns back to the States still our TNA Knockouts Champion!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode is in the back where he asks Dixie Carter for a word. He reminds Dixie that he is still waiting on that title shot she promised him, but what he wants to know is why she had James Storm interfere in his match with Jeff Jarrett last week. He tells her that he is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and the last thing he needs is help from someone like James Storm. Dixie tells him to stop being petty and to put his differences with Storm behind him as they are a team and nothing is more important to her, to Bobby, to Storm or to this company than Team Dixie winning control at Lockdown.
In an update on Samoa Joe's condition after being attacked by Abyss, he is being held at a local hospital here in London for the doctors to decide whether or not he will be clear to compete at Lockdown.
Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne defeats Lei'D Tapa with Gail Kim to retain After Tapa pinned Madison in tag team action last week, this match was set. In the early going, Tapa dominated Madison due to her size advantage but the champion wouldn't stay down and with the crowd firmly behind her she was able to begin to mount a comeback. Madison pulled off a series of roll-ups on Tapa but each time wasn't enough to keep her down for the 3 count. As Tapa brought a chair into use at the instruction of Gail, Madison dropkicked the chair into Tapa's face! Tapa staggered around the ring before Madison rolled her up and this time the roll-up was enough to get the W!
The champ doesn't get long to celebrate with her gold as Gail and Tapa double team her until the entrance music of Velvet Sky hits and she comes charging down to the ring for the save! The former Beautiful People work as a unit and they are able to send Gail packing first before they both clothesline Tapa over and out! Velvet grabs a microphone and says that The Beautiful People are back and they will see Gail and Tapa at Lockdown! In the back, Bad Influence are shown with Jeremy Borash at the interview area. Borash asks them why they requested this interview to which Kazarian says that they got word The Great Muta and some of his WRESTLE-1 students are coming to Miami for Lockdown. Daniels and Kazarian issue a tag challenge to Muta and a student of his for the show.
Commercial Break
Jeff Jarrett is shown talking to a member of staff here at Wembley Arena when The Wolves, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, come up and ask him why he wanted to see them. Jarrett tells them that he was the one to give them TNA contracts back in January and give them a shot at the big time. They tell Jarrett how thankful they are before he reminds them that he has 2 vacant spaces on Team Jarrett for Lockdown alongside himself and Gunner. Eddie tells Jarrett that he thinks he knows where this is going. Jarrett asks them to be on his team to which the pair accept, telling him it would be their pleasure!
Gunner defeats Samuel Shaw Following a loss to rival James Storm last week, Gunner looked out there to prove himself and he had a tough opponent in the crazed Samuel Shaw, who seems to have a split personality of sorts. Shaw has shown an infatuation with Christy Hemme over the past few months but it appears that Christy is unaware of the darker side to Shaw, who went as far as attacking Eric Young a few weeks back for helping Christy out of the ring when EY called Abyss out. Shaw showed a mean side, seemingly in a bid to impress Christy. It was Shaw's infatuation with Christy that ended up costing him the win here as he was too busy trying to impress her, allowing Gunner time to capitalize and take control. Gunner picked up some momentum heading into Lethal Lockdown after nailing Shaw with the Hanger 18.
As Samuel heads up the ramp, some fans mock him about his loss whilst waving Eric Young signs at him. Shaw snaps, taking the sign off the crowd and tearing it up before stomping on it. He gets in the face of several members of the crowd who are jeering at him, even going as far as grabbing one crowd member (a plant) by the neck of the shirt and yanking him over the guardrail but security flooded out before Shaw could do any damage! Christy watched on in shock from her seat at ringside as Shaw storms to the back, enraged at his loss to Gunner and the crowd's support of EY.
A graphic is shown, announcing that Jeff Jarrett has added an X-Division XScape match that will kick off Lockdown featuring Alex Shelley, DJ Z, Ultimate Tiger, Manik and WRESTLE-1's Hiroshi Yamato!
Commercial Break
The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Beer Money, Inc. (Bobby Roode & James Storm) Despite having a storied pass and there being obvious tension between Bobby and Storm, the pair of them certainly have not missed a beat as a team. They looked like they never stopped working together as they worked brilliantly together, taking the fight to The Wolves, who beat The BroMans in a non-title bout last week and are next in line for a title shot. Both The Wolves and Beer Money put on a stellar main event, with neither team being in the drivers seat for long as control was exchanged constantly. With both teams apart of opposing teams in Lethal Lockdown this Sunday, they all had something to prove to try and get the upper hand heading into the pay-per-view despite Team Dixie having the advantage thanks to Bobby beating Jarrett last week. Beer Money almost picked up the win when they hit Davey with the DWI, but Eddie was on-hand to break up the count just in time and unload on Roode and Storm with stiff kicks. Storm attempted to fight back and hit Davey with the Last Call but it was ducked and he walked straight into a Superkick of his own by Eddie before Davey grabbed a stunned Storm and nailed a bridging German Suplex for 3!
The Wolves celebrate to a thunderous ovation until The BroMans hit the ring, 2 of which (Jessie Godderz and Robbie E.) will join Beer Money to round out Team Dixie this Sunday. Jessie and Robbie attack a worn down Davey and Eddie before Storm and Roode join in until Gunner and Jeff Jarrett, who isn't dressed for a fight, soon hit the ring and help! Magnus soon slides into the ring and clocks Davey with his title belt. The heels have the advantage until the music of Samoa Joe hits and he storms out with his ribs taped up, shocking everyone as they thought he was still in the hospital. Joe aids Team Jarrett in clearing the ring of Team Dixie and Magnus before Joe motions to a stunned Magnus that he is coming for the World Title! Magnus can't believe what he is seeing and that Joe is still walking and kicking ass after being attacked by Abyss at the top of the broadcast! Join us this Sunday at Lockdown from Miami only on pay-per-view!

I have to point it out again, I'm a fan of this layout. It's simple and lovely. Impact always has a better feel overseas but I hope you can keep them special in the US. Whoa, big and sexy main event. I'd almost call it a Kevin Nash main event. Get it? Get it? I hope you do. Smart opening promo as it gets Magnus even more heat. I may not know much of whats going on over there these days but I don't know if the celebrates like he just won the belt fits his character. I could be wrong though. Adding the BroMans to Lockdown should be good. Ahhh! Motor City Machine Guns again! Awesome that they won. Was unaware that Samuel Shaw had a split personality. Interesting. Kurt Angle and Eric Young winning was the right move and glad that EC3 didn't have to eat the pin. I love Madison Rayne. Interesting that Booby Roode is not all about the Dixie help. Also, what happened to the Robert Roode name? Rayne retaining is cool and I like that the Beautiful People are back. Velvet Sky is kind of one note but it works for her. Wonder if you'll bring back Angelina Love. Never saw much in Gunner but I guess him winning was right. Xscape matches are always cool, especially with the talent there. Awesome main event and glad that the Wolves won. I see them as the next Tag Team Champions for sure. Another good show and Lockdown is shaping up very well.

| Lockdown on PPV Mar. 9, 2014 @ Miami, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
After a well put-together video package, we cut to a live shot of inside the UnitedBank Center in Miami, Florida! Mike Tenay and Taz welcome us to TNA's first pay-per-view of the year and immediately begin to hype our main event of the Lethal Lockdown match for control of TNA operations between Team Dixie and Team Jarrett! The pair also recap Abyss attacking Samoa Joe this past Thursday on Impact Wrestling from London, however, Joe is here tonight, against doctor's orders, and he is gunning for Magnus and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship! Without further ado, we get underway with a late addition to the card in an X-Division Xscape match...
Alex Shelley defeats Ultimate Tiger, DJ Z, Hiroshi Yamato and Manik in an X-Division Xscape match Yamato is here tonight in a one-off deal as part of TNA's working relationship with WRESTLE-1. This was the best possible way to get the show on the road as all 5 men really showcased exactly what the X-Division is all about. Shelley, who returneed to TNA a few weeks back after a stint with New Japan Pro Wrestling, was the main heel here alongside DJ Z, however, the crowd would cheer anything that 1/2 of The Motor City Machineguns pulled off. Yamato was first eliminated after DJ Z nailed a Moonsault. Manik soon followed Yamato when Shelley absolutely drilled him with the WA4. DJ Z and Shelley formed an alliance to try and topple Tiger before Z went up top with him. He spent too long taunting, allowing Tiger to shove him off before then booting Shelley in the face when he ran over to help. Tiger nailed DJ Z with the Sabertooth Splash for the 3, meaning that our final 2 are Shelley and Tiger with the only way to win by escaping the cage! After battling back and forth, Shelley countered Tiger's attempt at a diving hurricanrana with a running powerbomb into the side of the cage! Shelley staggered to the cage door where he left the ring.
As Shelley does a lap around the cage celebrating we cut backstage where Eric Young is with Jeremy Borash. Young talks about how tonight he will finally get to settle the score with Abyss once and for all. Borash asks Young what Samuel Shaw's problem seems to be with EY as of late. He tells JB that Shaw, like Abyss, is deranged and if he wants a match with him then all Samuel has to do is name the time and the place!
A video package rolls, recapping the feud between Eric Young and Abyss/Joseph Park that has gone on for the best part of a year.
Abyss defeats Eric Young The Monster had a whole new look here tonight--seems as if the money Dixie Carter and Magnus are paying him was enough to go out and get a new wardrobe. Young brought a trolley full of weapons to the ring with him, throwing them all into the ring for him and Abyss to use. The crowd were firmly behind Young as he done whatever he could to take Abyss down, who seems to have developed an even meaner streak than ever before since returning and also since aligning with Dixie Carter and Magnus as their insurance policy. At one point EY was on a roll and was able to take Abyss off his feet but he only managed a 2 count. Young then got a small black bag that he had brought to the ring with him and emptied its contents out onto the ring mat. EY has thumbtacks! Young unloads on Abyss with a series of kendo stick shots, leaving Abyss staggering infront of the tacks. EY bounces off the ropes, seemingly attempting to knock Abyss backwards into the tacks but Abyss counters it and nails Young with the Black Hole Slam onto the tacks for the 1-2-3!
Abyss has some of the tacks in his forearm as he stands tall above Eric, who is squirming in pain! The camera cuts to the back where we see Ethan Carter III and Rockstar Spud. Ethan speaks into the camera and says that he and Spud have a big reveal that they can't wait for the World to see after he beats Kurt tonight!
Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky are backstage with Jeremy Borash ahead of their tag bout against Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. Borash tells Madison and Velvet that it's nice to finally see The Beautiful People back once again in the Knockouts division. The pair seem excited about teaming up once again against Gail and the formidable Lei'D Tapa.
The Beautiful People (Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne & Velvet Sky) defeat Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa The Floridian crowd here tonight were treated to The Beautiful People's first match as a team in almost 3 years. Sky and Rayne hadn't missed a beat as they were on fire out there, taking the fight to both Gail and ensuring that she was unable to tag in the giant Lei'D Tapa. Eventually, Gail was able to outsmart Sky and get the upperhand before tagging in Tapa who wiped the floor with both Velvet and Madison. Gail was tagged back in and she spent too long setting the Eat Defeat up that Rayne was able to counter out of it and connect with the Rayne Drop for a 3 count!
Madison and Velvet embrace before spending time celebrating in the ring until Tapa and Gail have disappeared to the back. As Madison holds her title high, Velvet goes to leave the cage when an unidentified women slams the cage door on her face! Madison realises what happened to Velvet and attends to her as another women scales the cage behind Madison and drops down into iside. She attacks Madison from behind and begins putting the boots to her as the other women on the outside then joins in and the pair double team the champ! Mike Tenay and Taz soon realise that it is Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse, 2 women who have a history here in TNA! Ivelisse and Alyssa hold Madison's Knockouts title up together as they stand tall above a decimated Beautiful People.
Chris Sabin is shown with his X-Division title hanging over his shoulder watching a monitor in the back, laughing at his ex-girlfriend Velvet Sky laid out in the ring. Jeremy Borash asks Sabin if he's ready for the interview now. Sabin tells JB that he was born ready. He tells Austin Aries that he is the greatest X-Division Champion, he has the most reigns at 8--he is the X-Division! Sabin tells Aries to take a good look at this title belt because after tonight he won't be anywhere near it!
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin defeats Austin Aries to retain These 2 have not only traded wins over the past few months, but they have also traded the X-Division Championship with Aries beating Sabin back in December before Sabin reclaimed it again in January and then successfully retained it against Aries at Genesis. The crowd were highly into this as both men done well to make the match-up feel fresh given how many times we have seen it as of late. Sabin plays his cocky character well, playing up to the crowd and mocking Austin Aries at any chance he could when he was in the drivers seat. Aries continued to fight back, looking to put Sabin away after his signature corner dropkick but before he could set him up the Brainbuster, Sabin pulled the referee into the way. Sabin then poked Aries in the eye and nailed the Future Shock! In a surprise to everyone, Aries wouldn't stay down as he was JUST able to kick out! Both men battled back and forth once more, but Sabin was yet again able to connect with the Future Shock and this time it was over.
The champion was able to hold onto his title by the skin of his teeth and he knows it as he lies on the mat, taking a breather as the referee hands him as title! Sabin doesn't hang around for Aries to recover as he leaves the cage and heads to the back, holding his X-Division title high as he goes.
The Japanese legend The Great Muta is shown sitting backstage with his protégé, Seiya Sanada. The pair are speaking in Japanese, with subtitles provided to those of us watching at home. Muta is telling Sanada that he not only believes in him but he believes in them as a team tonight. Muta says to do this tonight for WRESTLE-1. We then cut to a quick recap of Bad Influence storming The Great Muta and Seiya Sanada's booth at Fan Interaction yesterday. It was there that Daniels and Frankie laid down the challenge to the WRESTLE-1 guys--which they were more than happy to accept, much to the delight of those in attendance!
The Great Muta and Seiya Sanada defeat Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) Bad Influence mock Muta and Sanada by coming out in Japanese-inspired attires, mocking the WRESTLE-1 stars before the bell had rung. The crowd ate up everything that Muta done, erupting anytime he pulled something off. Daniels and Kazarian worked over Sanada, who really shined here and he done a good job in getting the crowd behind him aswell and not just Muta. When Sanada tagged in Muta he came in and cleared house, taking down both members of Bad Influence repeatedly before drilling Kazarian with the Shining Wizard and tagging in Seiya. With Kazarian down in the centre of the ring and Daniels down in his own corner, Sanada climbed to the top rope and nailed a picture perfect Moonsault on Kazarian to score the pinfall victory for WRESTLE-1 in this interpromotional tag bout!
The crowd go wild as Sanada and Muta have their hands raised in victory! They don't get long to celebrate as Bully Ray's music cuts them off and he comes storming down the rampway, not looking too pleased. Bully rants about how ever since he ended Mr. Anderson's career he has yet to be featured on Impact. He questions Jeff Jarrett why Muta and Sanada, two WRESTLE-1 guys, are being featured on the pay-per-view when a former World Heavyweight Champion like himself has yet to find a spot on the card. Bully orders Sanada to leave the ring as he wants to have a word with Mut, legend to legend, without a rookie in the ring. Muta stops Sanada, telling him to stay. Bully goes on to berate Muta, calling him washed up and to hang up the boots like Mr. Anderson did. Muta has eventually had enough of Bully and spits green mist into the face of Bully! As Bully rolls around the ring holding his face, Muta and Sanada leave to applause from the Miami crowd!
A video package is played hyping the news that One Night Only: Global Impact will be available to stream on-demand all throughout April! This came as a surprise as there were rumblings that TNA would be holding a Sacrifice pay-per-view event in April but those plans appear to have been shelved.
Team Dixie are shown in their locker room where Dixie is giving them a pep talk ahead of the Lethal Lockdown match. She seems confident that Bobby Roode will be able to lead James Storm and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans to victory and for her to have complete control over TNA. Roode tells Dixie that she promised him a World Title shot way back when and he hopes when she is in power that will be her first order of business. Dixie blanks him, instead asking everyone to wish Ethan Carter III luck ahead of his match with Kurt Angle, which she knows he will prevail. The camera focuses on Roode, who appears ticked off.
Kurt Angle defeats Ethan Carter III via Knockout These 2 fought tooth and nail to get the victory here, with the young EC3 shining like he has done since his debut here in TNA at Bound For Glory last year. Kurt can hang with the best of them and he proved that tonight, not giving Carter even a moment to breathe. At one point, Ethan began to attempt to build a comeback but Kurt had an answer for everything he tried pulling off. In a desperation move, Carter kicked Kurt's surgically-repaired knee which dropped the Olympic gold medallist down and allowed Ethan to then begin to take control. Carter locked in an over-the-shoulder single leg Boston crab on Kurt, really applying pressure on the knee but Kurt refused to tap. Furious, Carter broke the hold before then syncing Kurt in an Ankle Lock! Adding insult to injury, Ethan gloated as it looked like Angle was about to tap. But with the crowd chanting him on, Kurt was able to counter it and roll through before then locking Ethan in on an Ankle Lock of his own! EC3 crawled to the ropes but Kurt was quick to drag him back into the centre of the ring and grape-vined it! Ethan, determined not to tap out, eventually had enough and passed out! The referee declared him out cold, hereby awarding Kurt Angle the knockout victory via submission!
Despite a loss, EC3 still looked strong as he did not tap out to Kurt. As Kurt celebrates, a dazed and confused Carter rolls out of the cage before ordering the referee to lock the cage door and trap Kurt inside. Carter, who is struggling for breath and slurring his words, takes the microphone and tells Kurt to cast his mind back to this past Thursday when he told him that he and Rockstar Spud would be making a pitstop on the Carter private jet before coming here to Miami. EC3 asks someone in the back to play the footage. A video plays on the big screen of Ethan and Spud sitting in their car in a parking lot. Spud is holding the camera and it appears that they are waiting around on someone. Suddenly, Ethan tells Spud to get ready as Spud then focuses the camera on the entrance of what looks like an expensive boutique. Out walks Kurt's wife Giovanna from the store, but before we see anymore of the footage an irate Kurt is scaling the cage! The footage cuts off as Ethan runs up the ramp as Kurt drops the floor! Kurt is furious and he begins to smash things up at ringside, most notably the announcers desk out of frustration!
Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse are shown heading out of the arena when Jeremy Borash catches up with them. He asks them why they're here in TNA and why exactly they targeted The Beautiful People earlier tonight. The pair claim that in the past they have been mistreated by TNA management and are sick of watching girls like Madison and Velvet be the poster for this division. They claim to be the anti-Knockouts and that no Knockout is safe before they begin to shove JB and then they leave!
At ringside the camera is focused on country music legend Toby Keith, who is here with family and friends tonight in the front row! Keith waves into the camera as Mike Tenay recalls back in 2002 when he appeared on TNA programming and actually got physical with Jeff Jarrett! Taz says, believe it or not, but he loves Toby Keith.
The tale of the tape between Samoa Joe and Magnus ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship clash is shown...
Magnus (champion) | Samoa Joe (challenger) | Height: 6'3" | Height: 6'2" | Weight: 240lbs | Weight: 280lbs | Finisher: Diving Elbow | Finisher: Muscle Buster | Years Pro: 11 | Years Pro: 15 |
World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeats Samoa Joe to retain Despite Joe not being 100% and not having been medically cleared to compete tonight, he was on a warpath and would not let Abyss' attack on him this past Thursday on Impact Wrestling keep him down and miss this opportunity. Whilst Magnus had the clear advantage, given that he is not hurting, Joe dominated in the early going and beat the living hell out of the champ who was almost taken aback at what Joe was capable of despite his ribs and shoulder being bandaged up. The champ eventually outsmarted Joe by begging on his knees for forgiveness before jabbing Joe in the bandaged ribs! Magnus tackled Joe to the mat and began stomping away at the ribs and shoulder area and then going for a quick cover but Joe still powered out. Both men continued to beat the holy hell out of each other, as Joe wouldn't stay down. With the challenger seemingly closing in on Magnus as he backed him into the corner. Joe suddenly dropped to one knee, favouring his ribs as he does so. Magnus takes advantage of this and quickly rolls Joe up and gets the victory!
The fans here in Miami are not happy at all with that finish, but Magnus doesn't care as he grabs his title belt from the referee and leaves via the cage door before high tailing it up the ramp and to the back! When Joe recovers, he is furious as the crowd start a Joe chant. The referee goes to check on Joe who snaps and begins unloading on him! Another referee enters the cage to try restrain Joe but he too is laid out as Joe nails him with a Muscle Buster! Only then does Joe decide to leave the ring.
Jeff Jarrett is giving Team Jarrett, consisting of Gunner and The Wolves, a pep talk in the back. He tells them that Team Dixie may have the advantage at first after Bobby Roode beat him on Impact a few weeks back but they have not only the whole of Miami behind them, but also the guys and girls in the back!
A video package plays, hyping tonights main event which is the Lethal Lockdown match for complete control over TNA Wrestling operations! Who will be in charge when it's all said and done--the current TNA President, Dixie Carter or TNA founder, Jeff Jarrett?
Team Jarrett (Jeff Jarrett, Gunner, Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Team Dixie (Bobby Roode, James Storm and World Tag Team Champions, Jessie Godderz & Robbie E.) in a Lethal Lockdown match for Control of TNA Wrestling Out first for Team Jarrett was Eddie Edwards and for Team Dixie it was James Storm. Both men really clicked and the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Edwards got a chance to shine on his own, having only competed in tag action since making his Impact Wrestling debut with Davey Richards as The Wolves. Out next for Team Dixie was 1/3 of The BroMans and 1/2 of the World Tag Team Champions, Jessie Godderz who worked with Storm to wear Eddie down. The BroMans really have a score to settle with The Wolves and that was clear from the moment Jessie came out as he seemed to be very serious tonight, not giving Eddie a chance to even get back to his feet. After a couple of power moves from Jessie, the countdown clock begins for the next member of Team Jarrett to even the playing field. Gunner comes charging to the ring and he immediately tackles Storm to the mat, unloading with stiff rights and lefts! The pair roll around, each exchanging who's in control as it was like being in a battlefield with these two! Jessie comes to Storm's aid but it's not long before Eddie then comes to Gunner's aid and all 4 men are battling it out. Next out for Team Dixie is Jessie's partner, Robbie E. who works alongside Jessie on Eddie. However, Edwards dodges their attempt at a double clothesline before taking them both out with a springboard dropkick! Davey Richards comes out for Team Jarrett and to help his partner Eddie keep control over The BroMans! In a cool spot, The BroMans set Davey up for a Superplex from the top but Gunner stops them! Gunner then powerbombs both members of The BroMans, pulling off a Tower of Doom spot as Jessie and Robbie take Davey with them in the superplex! All of the men roll about the ring in pain as Storm chokes Eddie out using the ropes. Last out for Team Dixie is the captain, Bobby Roode who once again works amazingly with James Storm despite the pair of them having their differences and it appearing that they don't want to co-exist! Jeff Jarrett is last out for Team Jarrett and once he's in, the weapons lower down! From there on out, the match got even more physical as they each used whatever weapon they could get their hands on. There was some miscommunication between Team Dixie as Storm accidentally knocked Roode down! Storm then turned around into a diving spike DDT from Davey and the cover but it was broken up just in time. Rockstar Spud hits the ring and begins to scale the cage, realizing that Team Dixie are in trouble. However, Toby Keith hops the guardrail and yanks Spud off the cage before he can get very far! The crowd are going wild as Spud yells in the face of Keith before he smacks him! Keith holds his cheek before he then grabs ahold of Spud and drops him with a scoop slam! Spud is quick back to his feet before Keith unloads on him with a combo of right and left hand jabs, eventually knocking him out cold! The altercation on the outside distracts Jarrett long enough for Storm to hand Roode Jarrett's signature guitar. As Roode sizes an unsuspecting Jarrett up he shocks the entire crowd when he instead blasts his own partner Storm with it! Storm collapses as Jarrett turns around. Jarrett too is confused but he seizes the opportunity and covers Storm as Bobby watches on whilst the referee counts to 3!
The crowd go nuts as Team Jarrett have their hands raised in victory with Roode joining in on the celebration! Taz and Tenay can't believe what Bobby just done and wonder why he done it exactly. Dixie Carter comes down the ramp and she looks distraught! She is screaming at Bobby Roode from outside the cage as Storm, Gunner and The BroMans head to the back, bypassing Dixie thus showing that the only reason they were ever on Team Dixie was for the power and not loyalty! Dixie is left standing herself at the bottom of the ramp having a temper tantrum. Jarrett takes a mic and calls for security to eject Dixie from the arena! As a swarm of security appear to lead Dixie away, Roode takes the microphone from Jarrett and asks for the crowd to join in... "Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye", the entire arena is singing it out as Dixie disappears with the security, leaving Jarrett, Gunner, The Wolves and Roode to stand tall to close Lockdown!

IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR MAR. 10: // Many have questioned Toby Keith's involvement during the Lethal Lockdown match last night, however, we can reveal that apparently Toby Keith, alongside Jeff Jarrett, is a legit investor within TNA. Jarrett reportedly pitched the idea to have Keith appear on-screen, like he did back on the first 2 TNA pay-per-views in 2002, in order to garner some mainstream media attention for TNA. The idea paid off as FOX, TMZ and E! have all picked up on the appearance.
// Morale within the TNA locker room is said to be at an all-time after last nights Lockdown pay-per-view. The feeling prior to Bound for Glory was that the company was really struggling, however, since the departure of big name talents like A.J. Styles and Hulk Hogan, the company seems to have shifted it's focus onto younger talent and it appears that the guys and girls in the back are excited about what's next for TNA.
// Plans to have a Sacrifice pay-per-view event in April have been scrapped in favour of airing One Night Only: Global Impact, which TNA taped in conjunction with WRESTLE-1 just last week. It is instead expected that we will have a special Sacrifice episode of Impact Wrestling in April, similar to that of the Genesis special back in January.
// Bully Ray's interaction with The Great Muta and Seiya Sanada following their victory over Bad Influence at Lockdown was apparently done to set up sending Bully to tour with WRESTLE-1 in Japan. Bully is being advertised for the 3/24 WRESTLE-1 show in Osaka alongside Muta, Sanada and fellow TNA star Rob Terry, who has been touring with WRESTLE-1 since last Summer. It's unknown if the Bully/Muta program will cross over again onto TNA programming or stay in Japan.
// The returns to TNA programming of Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse came as a surprise to many, primarily because the pair being the current SHIMMER and SHINE Champions respectively. It's believed that TNA was able to come to a deal with Dave Prazak that allowed for both ladies to continue working for both companies at this moment in time.
// TNA returns to Universal Studios this Thursday (3/13) for a live broadcast of Impact Wrestling, before then returning the following night (3/14) for the 3/20 taping.

Alright, Lockdown. Interested in seeing how your first PPV outing of the diary goes. A very solid X-Division Xscape match to kick things off. Alex Shelley getting the win was the right call. He easily could become the X-Division Champion at some point soon, perhaps being the one to utilize "Option C" when July rolls around. Next, a brutal contest between Abyss and Eric Young. Abyss going over was fine, though I wouldn't have been against an EY victory. Great spot with the Black Hole Slam onto the tacks to cap things off there. Solid victory for The Beautiful People over Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. I imagine that this marks the end of the rivalry, with both teams moving on following this. I see Gail and Tapa getting into a feud of there own with one another. Oh, sh*t! Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse! Unexpected turn of events, but I love it so much. Can't wait to see where this new program goes. Chris Sabin and Austin Aries had a great match for the X-Division Championship here. Sabin retaining surprised me a bit, but I have no issue with it. Aries needs to get back into the main event scene. Next, an expected win for The Great Muta and Seiya Sanada as part of the WRESTLE-1 partnership. I really hope that Bad Influence stay around and are given the proper treatment. Bully Ray getting involved afterwards was certainly interesting. Bully and Muta could have an excellent feud, I believe. Kurt Angle defeating Ethan Carter III, meh. I understand that it had to go in that direction, but I always hope for an EC3 victory. I like that he didn't submit, though. The aftermath with Rockstar Spud's video footage could have been held off until Impact Wrestling. Like the table for the tale of the tape. Magnus retaining the World Heavyweight Championship was expected, but the right call as well. A good story throughout with Samoa Joe competing despite not being 100%. Him going apesh*t in the aftermath was cool. Lastly, a very nice Lethal Lockdown match. Toby Keith's involvement, while random, was fine to eliminate Spud from the equation. Great finish with Bobby Roode's face turn. Hopefully this match officially marks the end of Dixie Carter's tenure as an on-screen character. A fantastic PPV overall. Very excited for what is to come next, Jord.

LockDown... Actually read this twice now which is a compliment in itself. Read most of the shows on my phone and your layout looks great on my phone. Really works. Simple and effective. Highlights from the card for me were the 2 X-Division title matches especially Sabin and Aries. MCMG came away looking strong but could also lead to issues down the line. Magnus retaining was the right call at this point. Joe also had an out. I actually think Joe is hard to book. Joe maybe need some care coming out of the PPV from you. Obvious call with Team Jarrett getting the win in a fun match. Hopefully that's Dixie done!! Fan of the Roode turn however small complent is he came across to happy/chummy afterwards I would have had Roode turn but then walk out, emotionless. To stand out he needs to be a loner type who still things he's the best. A cool bad guy who is actually a good guy ? For me this PPV signalled the end of one era and the dawning of a new era and chance for you to really turn things around. Good job look forward to impact

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Mar. 13, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
The show comes on the air with a video package recapping the events of this past Sunday's Lockdown pay-per-view in Miami. Following that, we cut live to inside the Impact Zone where Mike Tenay and Taz welcome us to the broadcast! They begin to talk about Lockdown, most notably Team Jarrett prevailing over Team Dixie in the Lethal Lockdown meaning that Jeff Jarrett is now in charge of all TNA Wrestling operations. Taz tells us that after Samoa Joe attacked TNA official Brian Stiffler after his loss to Magnus, Jeff Jarrett and the TNA board of directors announced on the TNA website that Joe has been suspended indefinitely, effective immediately. Just as Tenay and Taz then begin to discuss Bobby Roode shocking everyone by turning on his Team Dixie teammates, the music of Roode starts up...
Bobby Roode comes down to the ring in a suit and he gets a warm welcome from the crowd after he played a big part in getting rid of Dixie Carter from TNA Wrestling. Roode says that for the past 4 days he has been asked everywhere he went and on social media--"why Bobby? Why?". He says that he was sick and tired of turning up to work every Thursday night, worried if it would be his last night since Dixie Carter was sailing a sinking ship. He says that Dixie kept making false promises, promising him a World Title shot if he helped Magnus beat A.J. Styles and Sting. Bobby apparently regrets being apart of the group that got rid of Sting and A.J. from TNA and that the promise of a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship went to his head. Magnus cuts Bobby off as he comes sauntering down the rampway with his insurance policy Abyss. Magnus has his World Title slung over his shoulder and he tells Bobby that whether it's Dixie Carter in charge or Jeff Jarrett, the fact of the matter is Bobby has done nothing to earn a shot at his title belt. Magnus holds the title up in Bobby's face and tells him to take a good look at it, because it's as close as he'll ever be to his World Championship. Jeff Jarrett comes out and stands at the top of the ramp, thanking the fans for their warm welcome and talking about how good it is to be back in charge. Jarrett says that they're still without a main event for tonight so how about Bobby Roode gets that shot at Magnus' title? Magnus is yelling no but Jarrett goes ahead and makes it official, leaving the champion with a sour taste in his mouth!
Commercial Break
magnus/abyss segment
The X-Division Champion Chris Sabin and his partner Alex Shelley are in the ring and the champ has a microphone. Sabin immediately begins to brag about defeating Austin Aries at Lockdown and retaining the X-Division title. Sabin says that he has beaten all challengers and that he truly is the greatest X-Division Champion ever. He calls himself a walking legend and that starting from tonight onwards, the Chris Sabin Open Invitational is rolling into town to give the less-fortunate a chance. Sabin says that it's open to any non-TNA wrestler in the World today. It's not long before Seiya Sanada, who wrestled at Lockdown in the WRESTLE-1 vs. TNA tag match, answers the challenge and we have ourselves a match!
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin with Alex Shelley defeats Seiya Sanada to retain. Following a victory with his mentor The Great Muta over Christopher Daniels and Kazarian at Lockdown, Sanada looked in great form here tonight as he took one hell of a fight to the current reigning and defending X-Division Champion on the first night of the Chris Sabin Invitational. It looked as if Sabin was taken aback by just what Sanada was capable of as it appeared like he underestimated him. It was Sabin's experience edge over the young challenger that proved to be the difference maker as Sabin wrapped this one up following a Future Shock and to live another day as the X-Division Champion.
We cut away to the back where Kurt Angle is shown walking down the hallway and he looks like he's on a mission. Jeremy Borash rushes up to Kurt and asks him for a word on Ethan Carter III. Kurt tells Jeremy that EC3 and Rockstar Spud crossed the line by stalking his wife and when he sees Ethan tonight, he's going to break his freakin' ankle! "Oh it's real... it's damn real!"
Commercial Break
We are in a dimly-lit part of the arena where a hooded man is standing with his back to the camera. The figure turns around to reveal Bully Ray and he has his hood up and sunglasses on. Ray talks about how The Great Muta spit the green mist into his face at Lockdown and how his vision hasn't been the same since. Bully promises revenge on Muta, whether that be in a TNA ring or in a WRESTLE-1 ring.
Elsewhere backstage, Bobby Roode is at the interview area with Jeremy Borash. Roode tells JB that it feels good to finally get a shot at the World Title after Dixie Carter continuously made false promises to give him a shot at the gold. Bobby promises to bring Magnus' reign as champion to an end here tonight because it's all about the It Factor!
Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne with Velvet Sky defeats Brooke Tessmacher. The Beautiful People don't do their usual entrance as they look like they mean business tonight. Madison wastes no time in tackling Brooke before the bell rings and the match is underway. This one was kept short, although it wasn't all Madison as Brooke held her own in her first appearance in a good few months. The champion fought back, proving just why she is at the top of the Knockout division as she put Brooke away with the Rayne Drop.
Madison doesn't celebrate her victory, instead getting a microphone from Christy Hemme. Madison calls out Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse, who this past Sunday at Lockdown returned to TNA by laying out both Velvet and Madison following their tag win over Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. The returning Knockouts soon appeared, entering via the crowd. Madison tosses her title aside as she and Velvet goad Ivelisse and Alyssa to come into the ring as the BP's are ready for a fight! Ivelisse says that she and Alyssa have been mistreated by TNA management in the past and that Madison and Velvet are everything that is wrong with the Knockouts division today. Ivelisse and Alyssa continue to berate Velvet and Madison from inside the ring until they have heard enough and they attack them! The heels fight back but Madison and Velvet are able to send them crashing to the floor. They yell at them to get back in the ring but instead, Ivelisse and Alyssa laugh, telling them to watch their backs as they back up the ramp.
Commercial Break
At the top of the hour, Kurt Angle made his way down to the ring looking ready for a fight. Kurt, who beat Ethan Carter III via knockout at Lockdown when Carter refused to tap to the Ankle Lock and ultimately ended up passing out, is out here to call EC3 out after the footage revealed at Lockdown of him and Rockstar Spud stalking Kurt's wife. Kurt doesn't waste anytime as he immediately demands that Ethan get out here and face him man to man. The theme music of Rockstar Spud plays instead as Spud comes marching down the ramp with some 8x10s. Spud tells Kurt that Mr. Carter isn't here tonight as the Carter's are holding a family meeting following Dixie being unfairly ushered out of the company thanks to Bobby Roode so instead Kurt will have to communicate through him. "But, Mr. Carter did leave me with these 8x10s of him to pass on to you Kurt so you remind yourself of how handsome the man who will end your career is..." Spud hands Angle an 8x10 of EC3 before then showering those in attendance with them. Angle tells Spud that since Ethan is acting like a little bitch, he wants Spud to pass on this message to him. Kurt headbutts Spud before then unloading on him with punches! Kurt toys with Spud, tossing him across the ring numerous times by the collar of his suit jacket like a ragdoll as he pleads with Kurt to stop! Kurt then locks Spud in the Ankle Lock as he screams out for help. He eventually releases the hold and stuffs one of the 8x10s in Spud's mouth! Kurt picks up the mic again and looks dead on into the camera, telling Ethan that he can run but he cannot hide from Kurt Angle!
Commercial Break
Back from the commercial and Christy Hemme is getting ready to announce our next match-up when Samuel Shaw slides into the ring behind her. When Christy notices she begins to yell at Shaw that she wants nothing to do with him after the way he attacked a defenceless fan last week here on Impact Wrestling. Shaw tries reasoning with her, asking why she won't return his calls. He backs her into the corner as he runs his hands through her hair as she seems frozen with fear. Christy retaliates with a slap, which Samuel seemed to relish! Eric Young comes charging to the ring as Shaw slowly drops to the mat and rolls under the bottom rope, casually heading back up the ramp as EY checks if a shaken up Hemme is alright.
A video package plays hyping One Night Only: Global Impact which premiers on April 1 and will be available all throughout the month of April on-demand.
World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans (Jessie Godderz & Robbie E.) with DJ Z defeat The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) to retain. Jeremy Borash was pulling ring announcing duties after Christy Hemme left with Eric Young following the previous segment. Davey and Eddie have had The BroMans number as of late and so they finally got their shot at the gold here tonight. Robbie and Jessie continued to show their more serious side as they went to work on Richards, keeping him away from his own corner so that he couldn't tag in a fired up Eddie Edwards. However, Davey wouldn't stay down no matter what Robbie and Jessie pulled off and he was able to mount a comeback before he and Jessie both laid each other out with a double clothesline! Edwards and Robbie were then both tagged in as a fresh Eddie Edwards cleared house, taking Robbie down time after time. Jessie tagged himself in unbeknownst to The Wolves as they hit Robbie with a Powerbomb/Backcracker combo before Eddie hooked Robbie's leg but the referee didn't count since Robbie wasn't legal. Jessie sneaked in and tossed Davey to the floor before rolling up an unsuspecting Edwards to escape with the tag gold!
Jessie, Robbie and Zema don't hang around for The Wolves to get some retribution as they grab their title belts and scatter up the ramp and to the back, leaving Eddie and Davey seething in the ring.
Commercial Break
Walking around backstage is James Storm who the cameraman catches up with to ask him for his thoughts on Gunner. Storm begins to laugh, asking the cameraman to cast his mind back to 2 weeks ago when he pinned Gunner 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. Storm says that no matter what Gunner does, Storm will always be not only the better man, the better father--but also the better wrestler.
Gunner defeats Christopher Daniels with Kazarian. Embroiled in a vicious feud with his former tag partner James Storm, Gunner wasted no time in picking 1/2 of Bad Influence here tonight as he really went to work on Daniels. Two weeks ago on Impact Wrestling, Gunner had Storm beat as he tapped out to the Gun Rack but the referee was down and didn't see it. This allowed for Storm to nail Gunner with the Last Call and pick up the victory and so Gunner feels like the score with Storm is far from settled. Daniels and Kazarian are so entertaining to watch as they know how exactly to annoy the crowd although the pair can back it up with their in-ring skills. Unfortunately for Daniels, Gunner rolled out the way of the BME before scooping him up onto his shoulders and nailing the Hanger 18 for the win!
Kazarian taunts Gunner, keeping him distracted long enough for James Storm to slide into the ring behind Gunner and size him up with a beer bottle. Gunner eventually went for Kazarian but Storm was quick to break the bottle over the head of Gunner! Storm places one cowboy boot on the chest of Gunner before holding the half-broken beer bottle high in the air as Mike Tenay yells for help!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode vs. World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus with Abyss ends in a No Contest (Magnus retains). Blockbuster main event here and our third and final championship match of the evening as Bobby Roode finally got his shot against Magnus. After barely leaving Miami this past Sunday with his title, Magnus held his own tonight as he proved exactly why he is where he is today in a solid match with Roode. It wasn't long before the experience of Roode allowed him to be in control as he hit Magnus with a series of his signature moves before finally nailing him with the Roode Bomb--the same move that helped Magnus to defeat A.J. Styles and Sting at the start of the year! The crowd in attendance went berserk as Roode covered but Abyss entered the ring and went for an elbow although Roode scouted it as he moved out of harm's way and instead Abyss elbowed Magnus! The Monster couldn't believe it as the referee calls for the bell, throwing this one out...
The crowd can't believe how close Roode was to leaving here the champion as the ring bell rings repeatedly whilst Roode throws punches at Abyss. After numerous attempts at taking Abyss off his feet he is finally able to as the crowd erupts! Before Bobby can do anything else, Magnus clobbers him from behind with the TNA World Championship belt before he then begins to put the boots to him. Abyss joins in as the pair continue to stomp away at a defenceless Roode in this 2-on-1 attack. In a surprise move, Austin Aries comes sprinting to the ring and he knocks the champion off his feet before flying at Abyss with a series of forearms that leave The Monster staggering. Abyss charges at Aries but his speed is too much for Abyss as he continuously dodges him by rolling around before then taking him down to one knee with a dropkick to the knee! Aries rallies the crowd up before then going back over to Abyss but instead Abyss grabs him by the throat and gets back on both feet, seemingly setting him for a Chokeslam but Aries kicks him right in the balls! Abyss drops to the mat before rolling to the floor as Magnus goes for a clothesline on Aries but he ducks and kicks Magnus in the gut and absolutely spikes him with a wicked Brainbuster! Roode gets back to his feet and notices Aries, who absolutely cleared house here. Roode isn't happy as he shoves Aries, telling him that he had it under control. Aries shoves him back before the pair go face-to-face, having a war of words as the show comes to a close!

When I read this first thing this morning until the Main Event nothing really jumped out at me was quite flat.
Not saying that anything was bad, far from it in fact the Main Event was very exciting. I really got into that and the aftermath with Aries & Roode. That was really well done.
Overall though I think I wanted more drastic changes. For my tastes I want a more sports like feel not to many backstage segments or in ring talking segments. Understand they are needed at times. I use them too. This isn't a knock on you but WWE & TNA also I want more realism and more of a sports vibe.
Maybe drastic changes will come in time.
More thoughts on the show...
Sabin/Sanada was fine. Was clever how you had Sabin bragging while Shelley stood next to him.
Joe being suspended is intriguing.
TNA tag title match needed more hype.
Think before the Main Event the show would have came off a little flat considering how hot the PPV was but the Main Event was ace, found myself really getting into it so I finished up looking forward to the next show.
TNA02-03 is up check it out!

I haven't been a big fan of TNA over the past few years for good reason, but I'm going to see what you have to offer here Jord. I do like that Dixie Carter is no longer in charge and Jeff Jarrett making Magnus versus Bobby Roode for the TNA Championship shall be good tonight. It'll probably be a faulty finish, though. Solid opening contest and obviously Chris Sabin was going to walk out still champion. I'm glad, too, because Sabin and Shelley were always two of my favorites in TNA and seeing either of them sucessful is always good to see. Bully Ray got bullied by mist. That's all I have to say. Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky and Brooke Tittymacher. I MEAN TESSMACHER. All in the same ring is just asking for everyone to actually give a damn. Not surprised to see Rayne win, of course being Knockouts Champion. Good promo from Kurt Angle and Rockstar Spud, with Angle sending a clear message to Ethan Carter III. Seems so weird whenever I actually see EC3. Interesting segment with Christy Hemme being harassed. EY and Hemme? EY GETTING A PLAYBOY GIRL? HIS DREAMS ARE POSSIBLY COMING TRUE! Next, a good tag match and although I'd like to see The Wolves become Tag Team Champions - especially over The BroMans - I can understand why they didn't get them just yet. Good win for Gunner over Daniels. Kind of hope that Daniels and Kaz get involved in something big again. James Storm cracking the beer bottle over Gunner's head was good as it certainly furthers their feud personally. Obvious main event here with Bobby Roode and Magnus coming to a faulty end. Abyss hitting Magnus on accident, however, I didn't expect. I was thinking a disqualification. Anyway, chaos ensuing afterword especially with Roode not happy with Aries makes things quite interesting in the TNA World Title picture. A fairly good show overall, I'll keep on reading.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Mar. 20, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
We are welcomed to the broadcast by Mike Tenay and Taz and the pair immediately hype tonight's stacked broadcast! Our main event tonight will see numerous feuds collide as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus will team with his insurance policy, "The Monster" Abyss and Ethan Carter III to take on Kurt Angle, who will partner up with former TNA World Tag Team Champions in Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, who had a showdown at the end of last week's broadcast after Roode vs. Magnus ended in a No Contest and Aries came to Bobby's aid.
Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) defeat Hiroshi Yamato and Seiya Sanada. We kick things off here tonight in a (kind of) rematch from Lockdown as Bad Influence face off against WRESTLE-1's Sanada again, but this time his partner is fellow WRESTLE-1 star Hiroshi Yamato and not The Great Muta. When Daniels and Kazarian make their entrance we see an #IMPACT365 video that was filmed by the pair earlier in the week of them requesting this match, claiming Sanada and Muta's victory at Lockdown was nothing but a fluke. Hot opener as both teams worked well together due to their similarities in styles. Bad Influence proved that they weren't all talk as they did redeem their Lockdown loss with a victory here tonight following a lariat/chop block combo on Hiroshi!
Daniels and Kazarian celebrate their victory by mocking Sanada and Hiroshi as they point and laugh and call them losers. Bully Ray slides into the ring before he absolutely levels Sanada, who is crouched down checking on Hiroshi, with a big boot to the head! The crowd aren't pleased as Bully begins to unload on Sanada with vicious close-fist strikes. He then turns his attention to Hiroshi, who still has yet to get back to his feet following the match. Bully grabs him by the hair and pulls him up to his feet and spikes him with a Piledriver! Bully begins yelling into the camera that he wants Muta!
Commercial Break
Once we come back from the break, Ethan Carter III makes his way down the ramp in his ring gear and he doesn't look one bit happy. Ethan wastes no time in calling out Kurt Angle, telling him that he is going to pay for what did to his pal Rockstar Spud (who is absent tonight) last week. Ethan doesn't have long to wait as Kurt Angle comes out and he too looks like he means business. Once Kurt is in the ring with Ethan, the pair go face to face before EC3 tells Kurt that he sidelined Rockstar Spud was was innocent in this whole thing. Kurt reminds Ethan that he and Spud stalked his wife and he doesn't care who he has to take out or who's ankle he has to snap in order to get his hands on Ethan. Before Ethan can respond, Kurt headbutts him and the nephew of Dixie Carter falls to the mat. Kurt unleashes a ground and pound beatdown, not letting Ethan get the chance to even fight back! Blood is running from Ethan's nose from the headbutt as Kurt is relentless in his attack until Abyss enters the ring unbeknownst to Angle. Abyss clobbers Kurt across the back and the pair soon begin trading blows! Kurt has things going his way until Ethan joins in, chop blocking Kurt and then both EC3 and Magnus' insurance policy Abyss are in control. Ethan locks Kurt's damaged knee in an over-the-shoulder single leg Boston crab as Kurt refuses to tap out. Eventually, security flood into the ring and Ethan finally breaks the hold although the damage has certainly been done as Kurt clutches his knee whilst Ethan and Abyss head to the back with huge grins!
Commercial Break
When Ethan Carter III and Abyss come through the curtain backstage, Magnus is waiting on them holding his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Magnus asks Ethan what the hell he thinks he's doing bringing Abyss to fight his battle with Kurt Angle because unless Ethan's forgotten, Abyss is his insurance policy. Ethan tells Magnus that he wouldn't even be the World Champion if it wasn't for his Aunt D.
Eric Young defeats Samuel Shaw via Countout. Shaw started this feud with Eric after Eric assisted Christy Hemme in leaving the ring when Abyss was charging down the ramp. Shaw, who has an obsession with her, took it personal and attacked EY a few weeks back. Anytime Shaw is out here he is taunted by the crowd, who are big EY fans, with Eric Young signs and merchandise which does nothing but make the psychotic Shaw even more irate. Both men battled back and forth but it would be Shaw gaining the upperhand before laying Eric out with a fireman's carry facebuster. Instead of covering Young, who was out for the count, Shaw instead crawled across the ring and left under the bottom rope, walking over to Christy who looked frightened. The referee ended up counting Shaw out.
Shaw doesn't seem to care about losing the match via countout as he continues to be fascinated with Hemme. EY leaves the ring and heads over to Christy and Shaw, prompting Samuel to put both his hands up and slowly back off up the ramp. As he goes, he blows a kiss at Christy and winks. Taz calls Shaw a creepy bastard.
Commercial Break
The current reigning and defending X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin and his Motor City Machinegun counterpart Alex Shelley are in the ring now. Sabin says that the Chris Sabin Invitational got off to a flying start last week, but to the surprise of noone he beat Seiya Sanada and left still the champ. He confirms that the invitational continues here tonight and asks for his opponent to come out here now so that he can get this over and done with. Rocky Romero answers the challenge, telling Sabin that his days as champ are numbered before sprinting down the ramp!
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin with Alex Shelley defeats Rocky Romero to retain. Romero doesn't waste any time here tonight, even keeping his fur coat on as he flew at Sabin with a flurry of offence! Sabin seemed flustered as he bailed to the outside and regrouped with Alex Shelley where he talked strategy. The pair didn't keep their eye on Rocky though, who bounced off the ropes and ended up taking out Shelley and Sabin with a suicide dive! When Rocky rolled Sabin back into the ring, Shelley distracted Rocky long enough for Sabin to take control. After both men countered each other's finishing moves repeatedly, it was Sabin who was able to pull through and connect with the All Hail Sabin to put Romero away in a hard fought contest and live another day as X-Division Champion!
In the locker area backstage Bobby Roode is shown taping up his wrists ahead of our main event tonight when Austin Aries walks in. Aries asks Roode what his problem is as if it wasn't for him coming to save his ass, Abyss and Magnus would have sent him to the nearest hospital. Roode tells him that he had things under control last week until Aries had to come out there and steal the show like he always has to do. Aries tells Bobby that he's lucky he had his back because noone else did--not even Jeff Jarrett didn, even after he helped him win Lethal Lockdown. A Double then heads off.
Commercial Break
Jeremy Borash is standing by at the interview area with James Storm, who seems as cocky as ever after taking an unsuspecting Gunner out with a beer bottle last week. Borash asks him why he felt the need to attack Gunner with the bottle especially when Storm was the one who beat Gunner 1-2-3 in the ring a few weeks back. Storm says that he was sick and tired of Gunner running his mouth on social media, claiming that he had the match won. JB corrects Storm, telling him that he did tap out to the Gun Rack but the ref was out. Storm grabs him by the collar and tells him to shut his damn mouth. Storm then begins to gloat about how Gunner isn't here tonight because of the bottle attack before he heads off.
Alyssa Flash with Ivelisse defeats Velvet Sky with Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne. After a shocking debut at Lockdown attacking Madison and Velvet after their victory over Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa, Alyssa and Ivelisse have made it known that they are here for gold and to rid the Knockouts division of the "Barbie's". In her first match since returning, Alyssa went up against 1/2 of The Beautiful People in Velvet Sky, who took more of a fight to Flash than she expected to receive. When Velvet seemed to be building up some momentum again, Ivelisse tripped her up before Madison tackled her to the floor and they both began rolling about ringside! With Velvet distracted by what was going on outside, when she turned back around she walked right into a Michinoku Driver from Alyssa for the 1-2-3.
When Madison realises what happened, she goes to slide into the ring but Ivelisse grabs ahold of her feet and yanks her right back out onto the floor and Madison lands hard! Ivelisse picks up Madison's title and stares at it before draping it over her as she and Alyssa then swagger to the back, pleased with their actions here tonight.
Jeff Jarrett is sitting at his desk in his office along with the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz who are asking why he has asked for them to be here. Jarrett ignores both Jessie and Robbie when Christopher Daniels and Kazarian walk into the office. Both teams seem surprised to see each other as they are all beginning to ask Jarrett what he's set up here. Jarrett continues to ignore them until Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards then both walk in. Jeff says that since The BroMans beat The Wolves last week to retain their titles he is without number one contenders to the tag straps. Robbie and Jessie seem cocky, grinning as they tap their titles. Jarrett says that he wanted to let them all know first hand that next week he has booked The Wolves vs. Bad Influence with the winner next in line for a tag title shot! The grin is soon wiped off the face of The BroMans as Bad Influence and The Wolves seem pleased at the news, eyeing each other up.
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and Gunner defeat World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus, Ethan Carter III and James Storm with Abyss. Despite their differences as of late, the team of Aries and Roode proved that they haven't missed a beat as a team since their breakup last year. Kurt Angle wasn't able to compete here due to Abyss and EC3's attack earlier tonight and so Aries and Roode went at it alone against Magnus, EC3 and James Storm in a 3-on-2 match until Gunner shocked everyone and came to the ring to join in and even the odds! When a fired up Gunner was tagged in, he took one hell of a fight to the heels--especially James Storm, who blasted Gunner with a beer bottle last week! The finish came when Magnus was sizing Bobby up and when he charged at him, Austin Aries made the save by stunning the champion and saving Bobby with a discus forearm that sent him reeling into a Roode Bomb and that was all she wrote!
Aries and Roode have a staredown rather than celeberating before Aries offers a handshake. Bobby, now realizing that Aries is on his side, accepts before they, alongside Gunner, have their hands raised in victory by the official! The show ends with Mike Tenay and Taz talking about how there is no denying how well Roode and A Double worked as a team here tonight.

Big six man tag main event, looking forward to that. Glad Bad Influence won to avenge their LockDown loss in a way and it keeps them strong. Bully Ray targeting Muta is a wise move as Bully can get heat like no other. I believe I read that you were sending Bully to Japan for a while? Not sure. Highlighting people's names is another sweet addition to this nice layout. Keeps things clean. ECIII and Abyss beating down on Kurt Angle makes a lot of sense. Friction between ECIII and Magnus? Interesting. Samuel Shaw is an interesting character and Taz calling him a creepy bastard was funny. Love the idea of the Sabin Invitational and I was always a Rocky Romero fan. Good match but the right man won. Jeremy Borash is still in TNA? Hmm. Bringing in Ivelisse and Alyssa Flash is awesome and a win over Madison Rayne is huge. Fun backstage segment and the Wolves against Bad Influence sounds excellent. Good main event, surprised the Champion got pinned though. And adding Roode and Aries to the contender's match next week is amazing. Three of my favorite teams in one match. Looking forward to that. Another strong show.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Mar. 27, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
The standard Impact Wrestling opening video package rolls before we go to inside the Impact Zone where Taz and Mike Tenay are on-hand to give us a warm welcome to the broadcast. The pair both seem hyped about our main event 3-way tag match pitting The Wolves against Bad Influence and the recently reunited Bobby Roode and Austin Aries with the winning team earning a shot at Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz, The BroMans, TNA World Tag Team Championships down the line! Taz mentions how The Wolves are hungry and seem determined to get another shot at Robbie and Jessie after coming up short a couple weeks back, however, Roode and Aries haven't missed a beat since reuniting and so he can't call it! Tenay tells Taz to not rule out Kazarian and Daniels, who have held the tag titles twice together!
When we come back, the music of our World Champion Magnus hits and he swaggers to ringside in a suit with his title belt draped over his shoulder and Abyss right behind him. The ring is decorated with some balloons and a banner with Bobby Roode's face on it. Magnus congratulate Bobby for pinning him last week in our main event and so tonight he and Abyss will be celebrating all things Roode! Magnus talks about how he has spent the past week in Toronto getting in touch with some of Bobby's oldest friends and family. Magnus then invites out whoever he has brought with him. Out from the back comes an old man who Mike Tenay notes is Robert Roode, Sr. Once in the ring with Magnus and Abyss, Magnus thanks Bobby's father for coming down to Orlando to celebrate his son. Magnus doesn't get to go on much longer as Bobby Roode wastes no time in coming to ringside! Before he reaches the ring, James Storm is at his back and he attacks him from behind! Both men have a pretty intense brawl at ringside that Magnus gives a running commentary on with his microphone from inside the ring. Bobby is able to get the upperhand on Storm until Magnus orders Abyss to join in and soon Abyss and Storm have the advantage. Magnus holds Robert Roode, Sr. in a headlock as he instructs Abyss to toss Bobby Roode back into the ring. When Abyss rolls Bobby back into the ring for Magnus, before Storm is able to slide into the ring, Gunner storms to ringside and chases the Cowboy off through the crowd and out of sight as Roode's tag partner later tonight Austin Aries too hits ringside and unloads on both the World Champ and Abyss with a flurry of forearms! Aries helps Robert Roode, Sr. leave the ring but his distraction allows Magnus time to regain composure and attack A Double. Magnus and Abyss launch Aries into the ropes and go for a double move of sorts but Aries ducks it and hits them both with a double dropkick that knocks Magnus off his feet and rolling to the outside but leaves Abyss staggering! Together with Bobby, Aries and Roode double clothesline Abyss over and out to the floor before Magnus and Abyss retreat up the ramp together, not returning for me. Roode and Aries are all fired up, challenging Magnus and Abyss to come back into the ring before Roode then asks if his dad is alright.
Commercial Break
A fired up Bobby Roode and Austin Aries are shown walking through the curtain to the backstage area with Robert Roode, Sr. when Jeremy Borash catches up with them. Roode says that tonight Magnus crossed a line by bringing his dad hear and putting him in harms way. He reminds Magnus that he has his number and is next in line for a shot at the World Championship. Bobby promises that after he and Aries win the TNA World Tag Team Championships for a second time, he will also win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for a second time!
Following that, the X-Division Champion Chris Sabin comes out to ringside with his Motor City Machinegun tag partner Alex Shelley. Sabin cuts right to the chase and says that the Chris Sabin Invitational hasn't lived up to expectations as the competition he's faced has been weak. Sabin then asks for his opponent for tonight to come down to the ring. After a brief moment of silence, some generic rock music begins to play and Ryan Taylor, best known for his time with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, comes bouncing down to the ring.
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin with Alex Shelley defeats Ryan Taylor to retain. Taylor received little to no response from the crowd at first, although he played the underdog here so well and Sabin played off the cocky heel champion to perfection which meant the crowd were eventually able to rally behind Ryan. The champion, to noone's surprise, remained firmly in control here although he ended up getting too confident which allowed Taylor to catch him off-guard with a small package and almost pick up the huge upset! Sabin was then quick to charge at Taylor but he scouted it and rolled him up once again, almost getting the victory again! Ryan then hit Sabin with his finisher, The Perfect Circle, which is a front flip snapmare driver, and hooked the leg but Sabin kicked out at 2.9999! The crowd couldn't believe it as they truly believed that Taylor had things wrapped up since Sabin sold The Perfect Circle like a pro. Sabin was eventually able to retain with the Cradle Shock.
The Motor City Machineguns celebrate with Sabin's X-Division title as Ryan Taylor lies on the mat, still down from the Cradle Shock. In the back, Gunner is shown on the hunt for James Storm, who he chased out of the ring at the top of the show tonight. The cameraman asks Gunner about his rivalry with Storm. Gunner tells him that Storm can run and hide all he wants, but when he finally gets his hands around his neck, the only one laughing will be Gunner!
Commercial Break
Gail Kim with Lei'D Tapa defeats ODB. This was just your standard Knockout's match as 2 former multi-time champions went at it. After shoulder blocking Gail through the ropes and to the floor, ODB rallied the crowd up as she teased diving off the apron and taking Gail out but when Lei'D Tapa stepped infront of Gail, ODB seemingly having second thoughts about diving off. Instead, she did end up diving off and took Tapa out much to the delight of the crowd! That proved to be ODB's downfall as taking her eye off someone as skilled as Gail Kim allowed for Gail to take advantage of ODB not paying attention and attack her from behind before rolling her back into the ring. Gail was then able to put ODB away with the Eat Defeat and score another victory!
After having her hand raised, Gail takes a microphone from Christy Hemme and she begins to rundown Ivelisse and Alyssa Flash, demanding that they come down to the ring right now! The pair soon emerge from the back and make their down to ringside, Alyssa talking trash to Gail as they do so. Once the pair are in the ring opposite Gail and Tapa, Ivelisse takes the mic and tells that nobody is going to stand in their way as they take Madison Rayne's Knockouts title from her! Gail has heard enough as she attacks Ivelisse whilst Tapa goes for Alyssa! All 4 women brawl in the ring with Ivelisse and Alyssa getting the upperhand! Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne run to the ring and together with Gail and Tapa they are then able to send Flash and Ivelisse scrambling up the ramp! Gail and Tapa don't seem too pleased with The Beautiful People for coming out and helping them as we hear Gail tell Madison that she had things under control as they butt heads whilst we cut to commercial.
Commercial Break
Kurt Angle defeats Ethan Carter III with Rockstar Spud via Countout. Back at Lockdown these 2 had an all-out war inside the cage that saw Kurt leave victorious after Ethan refused to submit to the Ankle Lock and so he ended up passing out, meaning that Kurt won via Knockout, however, that wasn't the end of their war as Ethan went on to stalk Kurt's wife. Kurt was raring to go here tonight after he was lured into a trap by Ethan that saw Abyss blindside him and take Kurt out of last week's 6-man tag main event. From the moment the bell rung, these 2 went at it and didn't let up. Ethan almost had things wrapped up when he looked to set up the One Percenter but Kurt countered it into a German Suplex before then taking the straps of his singlet down, letting everyone know that he was about to lock in the Ankle Lock. Before Kurt could get it fully synced in, Carter was able to escape out of his boot and high tailed it up the ramp (minuns his boot) alongside Spud as the ref counted him out!
Ethan and Spud are gone before the 10 count is even finished as a pissed off Kurt Angle is left in the ring, unhappy with the fact that he didn't beat Ethan clean. Backstage, Bully Ray is standing by with Jeremy Borash ahead of his bout with The Great Muta's student, Seiya Sanada. Bully tells Borash that Muta can hide in Japan from him all he wants but it is only a matter of time until he gets his hands on him and brings Muta's illustrious career to an end--just like he did to Ken Anderson. Before Bully can go on much further, he stops talking as he seems to have noticed someone in the distance. Bully then charges over and clobbers an unsuspecting Hiroshi Yamato! Bully then proceeds to grab ahold of Yamato and toss him into a nearby concrete wall before adjusting himself and casually heading off.
Commercial Break
A puffed-out Ethan Carter III and his cohort Rockstar Spud are backstage talking together in the distance. Once the cameraman is close enough, he asks Ethan why he decided to bail from the ring and count himself out against Kurt Angle. Ethan calls Kurt a crazed lunatic and that he has more sense than to stay inside the squared circle with someone who has the sole intention of breaking his ankle! Jeff Jarrett comes into the frame and tells EC3 that he's glad he was able to find him as he has some news he wants to share. Jarrett books a rematch between Carter and Angle for next week, but this time to ensure that Ethan doesn't pull any funny business and try run away to his Aunt Dixie, the match will be contested inside a steel cage! Jarrett wishes him luck before he then heads off, leaving EC3 enraged!
Eric Young defeats DJ Z. After an interesting, to say the least, past few weeks feuding with Samuel Shaw, the over-as-hell Eric Young battled 1/3 of The BroMans in DJ Z here tonight. Both Young and Z actually put on a pretty good bout that had its comedic spots throughout that kept the crowd entertained. DJ Z looked to be ready to wrap things up as he set Young up for a Frankensteiner, but the time he spent taunting the crowd allowed for EY to push him off the top rope before then connecting with a diving elbow for the pinfall!
As Young celebrates his victory, DJ Z rolls to the floor and collects his laptop. He re-enters the ring and sizes Young up, ready to use his laptop as a weapon when suddenly Samuel Shaw appears and stops Z from attacking EY, locking him in a Kata-gatame that ends up making the former X-Division Champion pass out! EY is taken aback at Shaw helping him out, as is Christy Hemme who is watching on from her seat at ringside. Shaw then releases the hold on Zema before sliding out of the ring, staring at Christy as he makes his way to the back...
Commercial Break
Seiya Sanada defeats Bully Ray via Disqualification. After confronting both Sanada and The Great Muta following their victory over Bad Influence at Lockdown, Bully Ray has been on the warpath and even went as far as attacking Sanada and fellow WRESTLE-1 star Hiroshi Yamato last week after losing to Bad Influence in a rematch of sorts from Lockdown. Tonight, Sanada finally got a shot against Bully one-on-one in the ring, however, his WRESTLE-1 counterpart Yamato was absent from ringside due to Bully's backstage attack earlier on in the evening. Bully had the clear size and power advantage here but that didn't stop Sanada from taking the fight to him and really holding his own, using his speed advantage to his gain. Bully eventually had enough of Sanada being in control and almost beheaded him with a huge clothesline before then spiking him with a Piledriver. Rather than covering Sanada and picking up the win, Bully slides to the outside and brings a table out from under the ring. After setting the table up in the ring against the orders of the official, Bully picks up a dazed Sanada and thrust spinebuster's him through it, leaving the ref no choice but to call for the bell!
Bully seems absolutely delighted with what he just did to Sanada as he puts one foot on the chest of Sanada and raises both hands whilst the crowd boo him! Bully holds up the checklist that he brought to the ring with him, ticking Sanada's name off alongside Yamato who was ticked off after tonight's earlier attack. Bully then points at Muta's name on the list and yells that he is next!
The TNA World Tag Team Champions, Jessie Godderz and Robbie E., The BroMans, are backstage in some Jersey Shore-type attire with their title belts. Jessie says that he and Robbie don't care whether they defend their titles against The Wolves, Bad Influence, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries or even the Legion of Doom because The BroMans are the greatest tag team of all time and they will retain their titles no matter what! The pair fist bump before saying that they have better things to do than watch 3 lower card tag teams wrestle like head to the club! They fist bump again before leaving the arena.
Commercial Break
The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Bad Influence (Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) and Bobby Roode & Austin Aries to become #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships. We brought the show to a close in a match that brought the house down as these 3 teams battled it out to see who would earn a shot at The BroMans' tag titles. Roode and Aries may have had a turbulent few weeks as a team, with Bobby not sure if he can trust Aries as far as he can throw him, however, when they work together as a team they can really get the job done. The match went on far longer than expected which was a treat to all watching at home and in attendance there tonight. When Roode and Aries had things going their way, Magnus decided to show up at ringside and get in the heads of both men. Eventually both Roode and Aries had enough of Magnus' taunting and they chased him up the ramp and out of sight, leaving just The Wolves and Bad Influence to go at it in the ring. After coming up short when challenging The BroMans a couple weeks back, The Wolves were able to put themselves back in line for a second shot at the titles after Davey pinned Kazarian following a diving lung blower!
The show comes to a close with Davey and Eddie having their hands raised in victory before they both motion into the camera that they are coming for The BroMans' title belts! Mike Tenay and Taz remind us to tune in next week for another stacked episode of Impact Wrestling where Kurt Angle and Ethan Carter III will meet inside the steel cage, the Chris Sabin Invitational will continue, and so much more!

IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR MAR. 28: // Many of you have been asking whether or not Seiya Sanada and Hiroshi Yamato, both WRESTLE-1 guys, have signed deals with TNA or on loan to the company due to TNA's working relationship with WRESTLE-1, however, neither is the case. TNA ended up using both Yamato and Sanada on every episode of Impact post-Lockdown only because they flew them both in for the Lockdown Fan Xperience and decided to keep them around for the 3/13 and 3/14 tapings. Bully Ray attacking them both on last nights episode of Impact was a way of writing them both out of the company and to further Bully's on-going feud with their mentor, and WRESTLE-1 founder, The Great Muta.
// In some news that only effects international TNA fans, Challenge TV in the United Kingdom revealed today that TNA are "refreshing" Xplosion and will move away from primarily being a recap show to include more exclusive matches and interviews with all of your favourite TNA Superstars and Knockouts! Challenge did not reveal when the refreshed Xplosion will debut, however, it was confirmed that Jeremy Borash and Taz will continue to call all of the action. Still no word on a U.S. broadcaster.
// We have heard rumblings that following the launch, and success, of the WWE Network, TNA have been looking to expand their programming platform to include past pay-per-views and episodes of Impact Wrestling on Netflix, similar to the deal they have with Microsoft. If a deal of this sort was to come to fruition, it is possible that Netflix would want TNA to develop some original programming since they seem to be heavily pushing that as of late.
// One Night Only: British Empire Cup, which was taped in Birmingham during TNA's recent tour of the United Kingdom, will be available to order throughout the month of April on pay-per-view. TNA originally had plans to run a Sacrifice pay-per-view in April but those plans were shelved in favour of having a "free" Sacrifice event on Spike.

A good opening promo from Magnus, celebrating Bobby Roode being able to pin him. Thought that was pretty great and a good segment all together. I really don't see him and Aries winning later on, but really didn't to begin with. Glad to see Chris Sabin retain the X Division Championship over Ryan Taylor. Sabin has always been a TNA favorite of mine and many others. Holy Knockouts, batman! Tons of chaos taking place here and I like how it promotes the Knockouts division. Hahaha, Ethan Carter III getting counted out. Take that, Angle! You got owned by EC3! But, not really, because now EC3 has to face Angle in a steel cage match next week. Love the idea of it, looking forward to it. Eric Young beating DJ Z, no shock really. Samuel Shaw showing up and giving Christy them eyes was interesting. UH OH, LOVE BATTLE OVER THE PLAYBOY PRINCESS! I like Bully Ray's checklist and how he is getting things done. It is fun stuff. Finally, a great three way tag team main event match with Roode and Aries abandoning the match to go after Magnus - leading to The Wolves beating Bad Influence. I'm really pulling for The Wolves to become the next tag team champions. A pretty good episode of Impact here.

Impact
Good to see you back
Good start to the show making the rivalry between Magnus & Roode more personal. Got more chaotic with Abyss, Storm, Aries & Gunner getting involved but it was a hot start to the show. For me Roode/Magnus should of been the Bound for Glory Main this year, seems your doing it a little earlier too. Rivalry is going well
Chris Sabin with another victory, can't help but think this is leading to Sabin-Shelley down the line. Also a bit surprised MCMG aren't involved in your tag division at the same time like Roode & Aries.
Angle/ECIII could have been hyped throughout the show but suppose you don't want to hype something that had a cheap finish, so maybe you were right not too. Steel Cage match next week is huge.
Actually liked the Samuel Shaw angle his choke reads better then it looks
Main Event was great. Big fan of the tag team division being spotlighted. Money in titles so more effort but to each title the better. Right team won too. Overall really enjoyed the show, there's some good things in the works and there is nothing really that I am not into. Thumbs up
