| Impact Wrestling on Spike Apr. 3, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
Hello and welcome to another episode of Impact Wrestling! The road to Sacrifice is well and truly underway and in just 3 weeks time, the stars of TNA and Impact Wrestling will give to you Sacrifice, which will be free and available right here on Spike! Mike Tenay and Taz are, as usual, in attendance and ready to call all of tonight's action as it happens. The pair talk about how last week Ethan Carter III may have been able to just up and leave mid-match against Kurt Angle, but tonight there is no running for Dixie Carter's nephew as he and Kurt will be locked inside a steel cage, as per the orders of Jeff Jarrett!
Alex Shelley with X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin defeats Ultimate Tiger, DJ Z and Manik. We get things rolling with a 4-way match that finally gave the rest of the X-Division time to shine after several weeks of X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin running the Chris Sabin Invitational, which is only open to non-contracted guys. All 4 competitors done a good job in getting the crowd pumped up as they got the show off to a flying start (literally). After DJ Z dazed Shelley with 2 knees to the temple, Manik tossed Z to the floor before hitting the ropes, looking to finish 1/2 of the Guns off. Unbeknownst to both Shelley and the referee, Sabin tripped Manik up before Shelley then took advantage and spun Manik around, scooping him up and nailing the Automatic Midnight at the 7 minute mark to pick up the win!
The referee raises Shelley's hand before Chris Sabin then joins in on the victory celebration! Shelley, still unaware of Sabin tripping Manik up, seems taken aback by Sabin's over the top reaction as we then cut away to the back where Bobby Roode is seen heading down a corridor backstage. Taz tells us that we will hear from Bobby right after this commercial break!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode comes down to the ring and gets on the microphone. Roode reminds everyone that 2 weeks ago in this very ring, he pinned Magnus, who is the current reigning and defending TNA World Heavyweight Champion, in a 6-man tag team match. He understands that TNA management have all of Dixie Carter's mess to fix after her departure at Lockdown, however, he wants his shot at Magnus' title that he rightfully earned when he pinned him 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring and he wants it right here, right now! It's not long before the music of Austin Aries starts up and Roode's friend-turned-foe-turned-friend-again comes down to the ring. Aries says that he appreciates he and Roode are on the same wavelength again, however, if it wasn't for A Double coming to Roode's aid in said 6-man tag match a couple weeks back, then Roode wouldn't have pinned Magnus. Aries asks for the footage to be played on the screen. The footage shows Magnus sizing Roode up until Aries came charging in with a discus forearm that sent Magnus walking right into a Roode Bomb. Bobby tells Aries that at the end of the day, it was still him who pinned the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Tensions begin to rise when the champ himself Magnus comes sauntering out from the back in a suit, sunglasses, his title belt slung over his shoulder and his big insurance policy Abyss in tow. Magnus talks trash to both men as he heads down the rampway, telling them both that neither will be getting a title shot as he is the champ and he calls the shots. Magnus assures them that if he did feel like giving either of them a shot at the title, then he would wipe the floor with them both. Roode and Aries seem ready for a fight as Roode takes off his t-shirt and throws it to the mat whilst Aries holds the middle rope down, inviting Magnus into the ring right now! Magnus thanks them for the offer but apparently he has better things to do than fight two Create-A-Wrestlers! Impact Wrestling's Director of Authority in Jeff Jarrett appears on the big screen. Jarrett says that he appreciates both Roode and Aries' concerns with wanting a shot at the World Title, however, despite Aries playing a role in Roode pinning Magnus 2 weeks back, it was Roode who got the pinfall, not Aries, and so that put Bobby right to the top of the pecking order. Jarrett reminds Magnus that he isn't the one to call the shots around here and it's TNA management and Double J who make matches--not Magnus. Jarrett says that 3 weeks from tonight, TNA Wrestling will present Sacrifice live and free right here on Spike and he's without a main event...until now! Jarrett books Magnus to defend the title against Roode! Bobby is delighted with the news unlike both Magnus and Aries, who don't seem happy at the announcement!
Commercial Break
We see Eric Young and his wife ODB talking in the back. ODB tells him to be careful tagging with Samuel Shaw tonight as he's crazy. Just as Young goes to reply, Samuel Shaw himself appears and calls Young partner. He seems in a chirpy mood, a total contrast from what he usually see. Shaw begins rubbing EY's shoulders, trying to get him hyped for their non-title match against The BroMans tonight.
Austin Aries is shown storming into Jeff Jarrett's office backstage. Aries begins shouting, telling Jarrett that Dixie Carter being gone doesn't make a damn difference to him, because whether she's in charge of Jarrett, they are still screwing "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" out of title shot after title shot. Jeff tells Aries that he appreciates what a great talent he is but at the end of the day, whether he played a part in Roode pinning Magnus doesn't make a damn difference because it was Bobby Roode who pinned the champion 1-2-3 cleanly. Magnus then comes charging into the ring but before he can even begin, he notices Aries. Magnus smirks, telling him that he's glad he has finally seen that Roode is only out for himself. Aries doesn't retaliate, instead looking like he has just had a realisation!
World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans (Jessie Godderz & Robbie E.) defeat Eric Young and Samuel Shaw in a non-title match. Robbie and Jessie have really came a long way since they made their debut as a team back in May. Their comedy shtick remains, however, they can get the job done and they've proven that now that the pair are in their near 6 month reign as tag champs, fending off all challengers. The Wolves, who earned the right for another shot at The BroMans' gold last week, were seen watching this match on a monitor in the back. Eric and Samuel have been feuding as of late after Eric assisted Christy Hemme in leaving the ring, however, Samuel saw it differently and feels that Eric is trying to get involved with Christy, whom he is infatuated with. But tonight we seen a different side to Shaw as he played an over-enthusiastic babyface, cheering Eric on and joining in on the crowd's chants. Jessie and Robbie eventually were able to rack up another win after nailing EY with the Bro Down.
Jessie and Robbie head to the back with their title belts, yelling into the camera that Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards will suffer the same fate as EY and Samuel. Back in the ring, Shaw can be seen attending to EY but Eric has eventually had enough of Shaw being nice and shoves him off. Shaw and Eric begin butting heads before they come to blows as they exchange shots. Young tackles Samuel to the mat, unloading on him but Shaw fights back and is eventually able to sync in the Kata-gatame! Young tries to fight out of it but Samuel has it locked in tight and eventually EY passes out! Several referees, and Young's wife ODB, try their best to get Shaw to release the hold but he refuses continuously, all the while staring at Christy Hemme! Eventually, Christy has seen enough as she yells at Samuel to stop, who immediately releases the hold. It appears that the only person who has some form of control over the deranged Samuel Shaw is Christy Hemme!
Commercial Break
At the interview area in the back, Ethan Carter III and his shadow Rockstar Spud are standing alongside Jeremy Borash. Ethan tells Borash that he is a carter and isn't scared of a fight. He also says that being a Carter means that you always go into war with a plan, and boy does he have a plan. Ethan promises victory before Spud echoes him, telling JB that Ethan promises victory.
Gunner defeats Bully Ray. With his former tag partner, now bitter enemy in James Storm on commentary, Gunner was focused here tonight and had the intentions of sending a message to Storm. It wasn't all plain sailing for Gunner though as standing across the ring from him was a former 2-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and Bully Ray, who himself has been on a warpath as of late after Japanese legend The Great Muta. Both Gunner and Bully had one heck of a brawl here tonight, really slugging it out from the moment the bell rung. When Bully was beginning to set Gunner up for the Piledriver, the music of Muta hit which prompted Bully to toss Gunner aside and wait on Muta's arrival. Unfortunately for Bully, Muta never showed and instead he turned around right into a spinebuster from Gunner before Gunner then scaled to the top rope, pointed at James Storm at the commentary table and then connected with a diving headbutt on Bully for the 1-2-3 here tonight!
Gunner celebrates his victory by standing on the turnbuckle and staring right over at James Storm, who is now on his feet and sarcastically applauding Gunner's victory before we then cut to a commercial.
Commercial Break
We come back to some footage taped during the commercial of Bully Ray smashing up things in the back and knocking things over. Bully then gets so close to the camera that when he talks he is spitting on the lense and says that The Great Muta can run from him but sooner or letter, the bully is gonna find him and end his career!
Austin Aries defeats Christopher Daniels with Kazarian. With reports of both Daniels and Kazarian's contracts up for renewal in the coming weeks and neither party being able to come to an agreement as of yet, this should come as no surprise seeing Daniels and Kazarian without a storyline and losing matches here and there. Despite it being clear that Daniels wasn't going to win this following the in-ring segment with Aries and Bobby Roode earlier tonight, it was still a highly enjoyable match from 2 of the X-Division's greats. A Double looked relentless out there, showing a much more intense side after, in his eyes, being screwed out of a World Title shot. Aries notched up another victory at the 6 minute mark following his turnbuckle dropkick and then a Brainbuster.
Aries immediately springs to his feet and starts motioning into the camera that he is coming for gold! Elsewhere, Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa are shown backstage when the cameraman asks them for their thoughts ahead of facing Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse. Gail says that the Knockouts division is the house that she helped build and she isn't going to let Ivelisse and Flash come here and ruin what she, and a hell of a lot of other girls, have put their bodies on the line for each and every night!
Commercial Break
As Austin Aries comes through the curtain in the back, Bobby Roode appears. Roode tells Aries that he appreciates Aries' frustration in not getting a title shot as he knows exactly how it is to be in that position. Roode challenges Aries to a match for next week to settle this once and for all and decide who the real number one contender is.
The Anti-Knockout's (Ivelisse & Alyssa Flash) defeat Lei'D Tapa and Gail Kim. Following a battle between these 4 last week, Gail and Tapa got their hands on Ivelisse and Flash, or The Anti-Knockout's as they're going by now, in what was a great Knockouts match. With the crowd behind them for a change, Gail was all fired up and fought both Alyssa and Ivelisse off before tagging in a fresh Lei'D Tapa who came in and cleared house. Flash distracted Tapa long enough for Ivelisse to jump her from behind but her shots had little to no effect on the gigantic Tongan. Tapa then tossed Ivelisse off into the ropes but Ivelisse dodged Tapa's big boot before bouncing off the ropes herself and on the rebound surprised Tapa with the Disdain to pick up the win in what many would call an upset!
The Anti-Knockouts don't get long to celebrate as Gail Kim comes charging at them both, going on the attack. Gail dishes out forearm shots to both Flash and Ivelisse but soon the numbers game takes its toll and Alyssa is able to scoop Gail up and drop her with a Michinoku Driver II. By now, Tapa is back on her feet and she takes Ivelisse and Flash down with a double clothesline. Both girls end up rolling out of the ring and Tapa follows, but it was a trap as Alyssa ends up sending Tapa face first into the steel steps. The Anti-Knockout's are once again in control as they tear up the padded floor mats before then spiking Lei'D Tapa with a double DDT on the exposed concrete! Ivelisse and Flash then decide to head up the rampway, satisfied with the destruction they have caused!
Commercial Break
Ethan Carter III with Rockstar Spud defeats Kurt Angle in a Steel Cage match. After Carter left the ring last week during his match with Kurt, effectively losing via countout, Jeff Jarrett booked this so that Ethan can't do any running tonight. In the early going, Kurt beat the holy hell out of Carter, using the cage as a weapon by repeatedly tossing him off into it. Ethan was able to fight back, holding his own as he really looked vicious out there tonight, showing a mean streak. Both men continued to battle it out, pulling off all of their signature moves but neither was able to get the 3 count. When Kurt looked to lock Ethan in the Ankle Lock, Rockstar Spud began scaling the side of the cage. Kurt used a bloodied Ethan as a missile and launched him into the side of the cage Spud was on, knocking Spud off and crashing down hard onto the floor! Abyss then hit ringside, ripping the cage door off with his hands! Abyss enters the ring, only to be attacked by Kurt who unloads. Abyss overpowers him, eventually nailing the Black Hole Slam. Brian Hebner tries to restore some order but Abyss corners him, allowing Ethan to add insult to injury by drilling Kurt with the One Percenter! Ethan then nonchalantly covers Kurt, not even hooking his leg as Abyss instructs Hebner to count the 1-2-3!
Abyss helps Carter to his feet as Spud too joins in on the celebration above a fallen Olympic gold medallist! The celebration is cut short as we see our TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus appear at the top of the ramp. Magnus takes his sunglasses off and stares down at the ring, looking confused at why Abyss is aiding Ethan. We fade to black with Magnus yelling at his Magnusland' cohorts!

IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR APR. 5: // The TNA contracts of Kazarian and Christopher Daniels are reportedly up for renewal in the coming weeks. As of this posting, neither guy has been able to come to an agreement with TNA on a new deal which explains why both men have been used sparingly and in a lesser capacity as of late.
// Following Slammiversary in Fort Worth, TX., TNA will tape 4 episodes of Impact across 2 nights in Bethlehem, PA. before then taking its cameras to the iconic Manhattan Center in New York City where they will tape 6 episodes across 3 nights. TNA are also trying to negotiate booking the Manhattan Center for another 3 days in August which would mean that the episodes of Impact leading up to Slammiversary will be the last held in the Impact Zone in Orlando for a good 3-4 months.
// In other talent news, Kenny King and a TNA camera crew were on-hand in Las Vegas this past week filming vignettes for King's upcoming return to television. We have no word on whether or not King will return with a new gimmick or not but we do know that he is booked for the next set of Impact tapings in Orlando.

Impact thoughts...
Took another direction in the Sabin, Shelley rivalry tonight. While I had been predicted it you hadn't really been teasing it until tonight when Shelley gave Sabin the look. Shelley & Sabin would be awesome, hopefully we'll get a little MCMG in the tag division before they go at it.
Promo exchange was decent between Roode, Aries, Magnus & then Jarrett but something feels off. Not sure what it is, I do feel like Roode/Magnus is being a little bit rushed but that's my thoughts now they could change following Sacrifice. I think why it's off is because I'm trying to look long term and can't work out where you going yet.
Aries teasing a turn too?
Samuel Shaw reads alot better than what you see on T.V
Gunner/Ray worked into advancing their stories - Gunner still needs some work while Storm & Ray are lukewarm at the minute when they both could be top stars.
Aries & Daniels would have been great.
Last couple of shows coming out of LockDown starting to notice I am enjoying everything involving Roode/Aries and Sabin to an extent but everything else just comes across a bit flat.
Calling everything else flat is not a criticism of your work it's the state of TNA when you took over and the improvements are being made to the TNA title picture but everything else still feels like a work in progress.
Also one final note nothing has really changed from Jarrett taking over from Dixie for example if someone only watched TNA occasionally and they watched an Impact with Dixie and this Impact nothing really has changed or not enough to re earn the trust of the fans TNA has lost over the years.
On a whole show was fine look forward to the next

Alright, lets get going with Impact. A good opening contest in fatal four way action, Chris Sabin tripping up Manik to give Alex Shelley the win was interesting. I'm looking forward to a slow burn to a feud between these two as it appears to be headed. A good promo between Booby Roode, Austin Aries and Magnus leading to the set up for Roode versus Magnus in three weeks at Sacrifice. Certainly should be a good match and I could see Austin Aries getting involved and potentially costing his tag team partner. Moving forward, Eric Young, ODB and Samuel Shaw in a threesome. I mean. Backstage segment. You said that Magnus came charging into the ring but we all know you mean the room. YOU'RE LYING I NEVER HIT HER. Aries with a realisation certainly adds to the belief he will turn down the road. The BroMans, man, getting the victory over Young and Shaw for the win. Foursome now! Christy Hemme joining the party! WOO LETS GO. Gunner beating Bully Ray is fine, Muta of course wasn't going to show up because F BULLY RAY. Bully. Silly Ray, you aren't going to find Great Muta. Great Muta finds you. Austin Aries beating Christopher Daniels makes him prove himself once again, showing that he should be in title contention as well. Poor Daniels and Kaz, though. Roode challenging Aries to a match next week? Huh, interesting. Still, we'll see what happens between the two. The Anti-Knockout's beating Lei'D Tapa and Gail Kim is fine, leading to an inevitable brawl between all these bitches. What in the blue hell is Abyss doing screwing Kurt Angle over and helping EC3!? MANGUS IS WONDERING THE SAME THING! DAMN IT, TONY SCHIAVONE! A good edition of Impact here with a lot to be curious about.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Apr. 10, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
Mike Tenay and Taz are at the booth, ready for another action-packed episode of Impact Wrestling! They hype tonight's main event between Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, which was set after Bobby challenged Aries last week on Impact Wrestling and offered to put his TNA World Heavyweight title shot at Sacrifice on the line. The pair then begin to hype Jeff Jarrett booking Kurt Angle vs. Abyss after Abyss interfered in Kurt's steel cage match last week against Ethan Carter III!
Before Taz and Tenay can go on any further, Director of Wrestling Operations, Jeff Jarrett comes storming to the ring and he doesn't look one bit happy. Jarrett wastes zero time and cuts straight to the point, calling out both Ethan Carter III, who brings out Rockstar Spud with him, and Kurt Angle. Once both men have made their separate entrances, Jarrett tells Ethan that he is sick of him and his dirty tactics each and every week, always finding a way out of beating Kurt cleanly. Ethan begins to trash-talk, even going as far as bringing up Jeff's wife, Karen Jarrett, being Kurt's wife in the first place. Jeff charges over to Ethan but Kurt steps in-between them, calming Jarrett down, telling him it's not worth losing his job for. Kurt then lays down a challenge to Ethan, telling him to face him right here, right now so he can wipe the floor with him! Ethan teases accepting it but in the end says no, much to the displeasure of the crowd. Jarrett says that he has an idea and books Ethan vs. Kurt for Sacrifice, which is set to air 2 weeks from tonight right here, live and free, on Spike! Jarrett then drops a bombshell in that to ensure there is no funny business, he himself will be the special guest referee!! Carter cannot believe it, taking off his suit jacket and tosses it to the floor out of rage. Kurt seems ecstatic as he rubs his hands together whilst Spud attempts to calm down Ethan as we cut to the back!
Alex Shelley and the X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin are shown walking towards ringside. Shelley stops Sabin and asks him why he interfered in his match last week because he didn't need help. Sabin asks Shelley when he will stop asking him that, telling him that he interfered because Shelley was about to be beaten and he done him a favour!
Commercial Break
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin with Alex Shelley defeats Crazzy Steve to retain. Crazzy Steve answered the challenge tonight and his clown gimmick seemed to throw Sabin off at first, allowing Steve to take the early advantage as he pulled off a series of roll-up attempts that were only able to pull off a 2 count each time. Eventually, the champ proved exactly why he is just that, the champ, by taking control and dominating Steve. Crazzy Steve wouldn't stay down, taking Sabin down before then humiliating him by using him as a surfboard! Steve then left the ring and began running laps around ringside with his balloons as Sabin yelled for Shelley to give him a hand but he refused. This done nothing more but anger Sabin, who stopped Steve dead in his tracks outside the ring with a dropkick before then tossing Steve back into the ring and nailing the All Hail Sabin to retain.
The tension between the Motor City Machineguns continues to rise as Sabin snatches his X-Division title from the official before then pointing in the face of Shelley, reminding him that he is not only the champion but also that he is the sole reason that Shelley is even back on the TNA roster! Jeremy Borash is backstage with the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans (Robbie E., Jessie Godderz & DJ Z). He asks them why they requested this time, but Jessie simply takes the microphone from Jeremy and shoves him aside. Jessie then says that he, Robbie, tho and DJ Z, tho personally wanted to take the time to challenge The Wolves to a Bro-Off tonight!. Robbie takes the mic and says that he knows they aren't as jacked and tanned as The BroMans, so he won't be surprised if they no-show!
Commercial Break
After Abyss aided Ethan Carter III in his Steel Cage match last week against Kurt Angle, Magnus is shown telling Abyss that he's the one who pays him big bucks to be his insurance policy--not EC3. As he taps his World Championship, Magnus tells Abyss that he got everything that he needed from Dixie Carter whilst she was in charge. Magnus then reminds him that Abyss only looks out for Magnus! Not Ethan Carter III, not Rockstar Spud. Just Magnus.
Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeats Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne with Velvet Sky in a non-title match. Since their TNA debuts at Lockdown, Ivelisse and Flash have steamrolled right through any Knockout in their path, including sidelining Gail Kim's bodyguard Lei'D Tapa last week after a tag team win. Tonight, 1/2 of The Beautiful People in our Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne duked it out with Ivelisse in a great Knockouts match. Madison took the fight right to Ivelisse, having been dying to get her hands on her since Lockdown. This match could have been anyone's as both women got really physical, pulling out all of the stops to pick up the win here. In what many would call an upset, Ivelisse pinned the Knockouts Champ cleanly in the middle of the ring following the Disdain!
The referee raises Ivelisse's hands before Flash slides into the ring and she shoves the referee aside, raising her hand with Ivelisse above Velvet Sky, who is checking on Madison.
Jeremy Borash is with Bobby Roode backstage. Jeremy asks Bobby why he agreed to put his title shot at Sacrifice on the line tonight against Austin Aries. Bobby tells JB that he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone or anything because everybody knows that Bobby Roode is "The It Factor" and the greatest TNA World Heavyweight Champion in history. Bobby says that Aries seems to think Bobby didn't earn his shot at the title fair and square, so tonight he's not only going to pin Aries 1-2-3 in the centre of the ring but he will then go on to Sacrifice and beat Magnus.
Commercial Break
Kurt Angle defeats Abyss. A solid first-hour main event here as Abyss and Kurt Angle clashed in a match booked by Jeff Jarrett at the request of Kurt following Abyss' interference in Kurt's cage match with Ethan Carter III last Thursday. Both men battled back and forth throughout as Kurt done whatever he could to stay on top of The Monster, who has really shown a more mean streak since returning to action a couple of months back. Despite Abyss having the clear size and strength advantage here, the Olympic gold medallist done whatever he could to stop Abyss taking control. Eventually, Abyss stopped Angle dead in his tracks with a big boot that almost knocked his teeth out. After continuing to dominate, Abyss looked to finish things off with the Shock Treatment but Kurt was able to slip out of it and nail a huge Olympic Slam on The Monster to pick up the victory and some momentum heading into Sacrifice where he will meet EC3 one more time!
Kurt celebrates his hard-fought victory as we see Ethan Carter III in the back watching him celebrate on a monitor. Taz hypes The Bro Off which is up after this!
Commercial Break
We are back from the break as the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans (Jessie Godderz & Robbie E.) hit the ring with DJ Z on decks at ringside. They are accompanied to the ring by 2 random blonde models, who Jessie and Robbie order to hold the ropes down for them to enter the ring. Jessie takes the mic, welcoming everyone to the first annual BRO OFF! The crowd don't really care but Robbie and Jessie act as if they're competing in the 2016 Olympics. They invite out The Wolves to partake in the games and it's not long before Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards appear. Robbie explains that the first round of the Bro Off is simple--you bench press the girl. Jessie goes first, benching the girl 10 times before then putting her back down. Eddie Edwards steps up for The Wolves, benching the girl 11 times before then putting her down. Annoyed at being beaten, The BroMans jump Davey and Eddie, who have their backs turned as they are hyping up the crowd! Jessie and Robbie put the boots to the number one contenders but The Wolves aren't down for long, instead battling back before sending Robbie and Jessie packing! DJ Z is then made an example of as Eddie throws him up into the air and Davey absolutely levels him with a vicious check to the chest, sending The BroMans' resident DJ scattering out of the ring and to the floor with his team mates! Davey says that they don't want to wait until Sacrifice to get their shot at The BroMans and their tag titles and instead, they will see them next week!
Commercial Break
In some footage from earlier today, Christy Hemme is shown arriving to the arena, saying hi to an arena worker as she passes. Once Christy is out of sight, Samuel Shaw appears out of nowhere and corners the arena worker! Shaw grabs ahold of him by the throat, telling him that he saw the way he was looking at Christy. Shaw eventually lets go and heads off but he hears the worker call him a psycho under his breath. Samuel turns around and jabs his throat. The worker collapses to the floor gasping for air before Samuel crouches down beside him, telling him if to say hi to Eric Young if he sees him.
James Storm defeats Manik. Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, James Storm clearly thought he had an easy night tonight being booked to face Manik, however, it didn't take long for Storm to realise that Manik was anything but a walk in the park as the former X-Division Champion took one heck of a fight to Storm! Eventually, Storm was able to stop the masked warrior in his tracks and take control of the match, doing whatever he could to keep Manik grounded. With the crowd behind him fully, Manik was able to mount a comeback, taking Storm down before climbing to the top rope. Manik then proceeded to leap off at Storm but he dived straight into the Last Call superkick and that was all she wrote for Manik!
Post-match, Storm isn't satisfied with just defeating Manik as he continues his assault before then attempting to rip his mask off! Gunner comes running down the rampway but just as he slides into the ring, the Cowboy bails out the other side, pointing at Gunner and yelling at him! Gunner stands on the middle rope, inviting Storm back into the ring but Storm continues to head up the ramp to the back.
Austin Aries is warming up ahead of his huge main event match against Bobby Roode with the winner getting a shot at Magnus' TNA World Heavyweight title at Sacrifice 2 weeks from now. The cameraman asks Aries for his thoughts on the match. Aries seems focused, telling the cameraman that "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" will be heading into Sacrifice the challenger but leaving the champ.
Commercial Break
Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode ends in a No Contest. After Jeff Jarrett booked Roode vs. Magnus for Sacrifice in 2 weeks time, Aries was ticked off because he was the reason that Roode pinned Magnus in a tag match several weeks back and so Roode offered to put his number one contendership on the line against Austin tonight. Both men had an outstanding main event, showing the best of what TNA has to offer. It was hard to tell who was going to leave her victorious and head into Sacrifice with a shot at Magnus and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship as both men pulled out all the stops to try and keep the other man down for the 3 count. The ending sequence came when Roode set Aries up for the Roode Bomb, but Aries battled out it and rolled Roode up with a handful of tights! The referee was about to count the 3 when he noticed Aries holding the tights and stopped the count. Austin argued with the referee before turning around and walking right into a Roode Bomb! Before Bobby could cover Aries, Magnus himself stormed to the ring and clobbered Bobby with his World Title before then doing the same to Aries once he got back to his feet!
Magnus continues to stomp away at Aries and Roode as the referee calls for the bell, throwing this match out. Magnus then begins to celebrate with his World Championship, holding it high and mocking the crowd. This gives Aries and Roode time to recuperate and they both spin Magnus around before laying into him and then tossing him off into the ropes, but Magnus stops himself in his tracks and escapes under the bottom rope, heading up the ramp tapping the side of his head and saying that the champ outsmarted them. Before Magnus can disappear to the back, Jeff Jarrett appears on-screen and says that at Sacrifice, because of Magnus' actions, he will now defend his title in a 3-way against both Aries and Roode! The show fades to black with Aries and Roode having an intense staredown in the ring as Magnus is in a state of disbelief on the rampway!

I really love what's been happening with Impact. I like the idea of Jeff Jarrett being the investor instead of Dixie Carter. Love that Magnus is still the champion, I love your work with this. Hope you keep this up.
Note: Drop a reply to the WWF 1994 Survivor Series.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike Apr. 17, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
Following the usual intro, we cut to inside the Impact Zone where Taz and Mike Tenay welcome us to the show! The pair are buzzing about Sacrifice next week, which will air live and free right here on Spike at 9/8c. Tenay brings up World Champion, Magnus ruining last week's number one contenders match between Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, so now he will defend against both men next week!
Ultimate Tiger defeats Kazarian with Christopher Daniels. Since his debut, Ultimate Tiger seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle due to the Chris Sabin Invitational taking up most of the X-Division time on top of many other things going on right now here on Impact Wrestling. Tonight, however, Tiger was able to shine in an excellent X-Division opener also featuring 1/2 of Bad Influence in Kazarian. It's a shame to see how far Bad Influence have fallen down the card but with the reports of both their TNA contracts set to expire in the very near future, it's no wonder TNA haven't been giving them a push as of late. Both men had a nice sequence of moves towards the end that saw Tiger floor Kazarian with a springboard senton before then going up top for a picture-perfect Sabertooth Splash for the win!
The official raises Tiger's hand as Kazarian rolls to the floor. We cut to the back where Gail Kim is shown pacing about the interview area. The camera pans out and we see Jeremy Borash is standing alongside the former Knockouts Champion. Gail says that 2 weeks ago, Ivelisse and Alyssa Flash may have beaten her and Lei'D Tapa, sidelining Tapa in the process, but she won't stay down and she is sick of them attacking whoever they want and taking whatever they want around here. Gail lays out a challenge to either Flash or Ivelisse, and she wants an answer tonight!
Commercial Break
Out in the parking lot, a limo pulls up and out steps our TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus with Abyss. The cameraman asks Magnus for his thoughts on now having to defend his title against both Austin Aries and Bobby Roode at Sacrifice. Magnus seems unfazed, saying that it's no surprise TNA management are out to get him but following Sacrifice, this title belt will still belong to the Mag Daddy!
Gail Kim defeats Brooke Tessmacher. The now-face Gail Kim took on another former Knockouts Champion in Brooke Tessmacher, who has been M.I.A as of late on television. Brooke and Kim worked an enjoyable match that saw the crowd firmly behind Gail in her first outing as a face after being a heel since her return to TNA several years back. Tessmacher looked to wrap things up with the Tess-Shocker but a fired up Gail Kim countered it and took her down with a series of clotheslines and dropkicks before eventually connecting with the Eat Defeat and that proved to be enough for the 1-2-3.
There is no time for Gail to even celebrate her win as The Anti-Knockout's, Ivelisse and Alyssa Flash, storm the ring and blindside her! The pair stomp away at her before they pick her up and Flash then nails a Michinoku Driver II! Tessmacher joins in on the beatdown but Flash and Ivelisse are quick to take her out also. Flash takes the mic and accepts Gail's challenge for next week under Street Fight rules!
Commercial Break
Jeremy Borash is shown warming up in the back ahead of our blockbuster 8-man tag match tonight. Jeremy Borash approaches him, asking Storm for his thoughts. Storm tells Borash that he is sick and tired of his former tag partner Gunner always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Storm brings up how he's pinned him 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring and that Gunner needs to let it go. Jeremy asks Storm if he had seen Gunner's tweet, challenging him to a match next week at Sacrifice. Storm tells Borash that he did see the tweet but he won't face Gunner again since he's already beaten him.
The ring is now decorated with some Japanese buntings around the ropes. After a brief moment, the music of Bully Ray hits and Bully emerges out from the back in a judo suit and the checklist he has been carrying around with him as of late. The names of both Seiya Sanada and Hiroshi Yamato are checked off after Bully's attack on the pair a couple of weeks back, however, the checkbox besides The Great Muta's name remains unchecked. Bully demands silence from the audience before welcoming everyone to his dojo. Ray then asks for his students to come down to the ring. 3 skinny guys (apparently they are genuinely students of Bully at the Team 3D wrestling school) come down to the ring barefoot and also wearing judo suits. Bully thanks them in Japanese before revealing that not too many people know that he is actually a 10th dan in judo, which is why he wears the red belt. Bully wants to send a message to Muta that not only is he a master inside the squared circle but he is also a judo master. He then proceeds to do a judo throw on one of the students. The second student steps up and Bully demonstrates a sumi-otoshi throw. The third and final student then takes his place and Bully pulls off a uri-nage before once again bowing. Bully gets back on the microphone and says that they're going to kick things up a notch. He then proceeds to level 2 of the students with a clothesline before then grabbing the last remaining student by the hair and kneeing him in the gut and clubbing him across the back! Bully continues his attack, dominating all 3 men and beating the holy hell out of them all. He finishes by piling them all on top of each other before then putting his foot on them and raising his hands, yelling into the camera that Muta can run all he wants, but there is no escaping the Bully!
Commercial Break
World Tag Team Champions, The BroMans (Jessie Godderz & Robbie E.) with DJ Z defeat The Wolves (Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards) to retain. After coming up short in their quest to win the tag straps for the first time last month, The Wolves got another shot at Jessie and Robbie's titles after they were able to overcome Bad Influence and Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. This was a solid first hour main event with both teams putting on an entertaining match. The BroMans continue to develop a more serious side while still maintaining their comedic shtick. With the crowd totally behind Eddie and Davey, the pair looked to be on the brink of capturing the titles when they both hit double diving foot stomps on Jessie. Robbie then attempted to bring in one of the tag straps to use as a weapon but the referee attempted to wrestle it off him. With the referee distracted, DJ Z rolled into the ring with his laptop and blasted Eddie with it! Jessie quickly hooked his leg and The BroMans were able to steal one!
Together with DJ Z, Jessie and Robbie celebrate with their tag titles on the rampway. In the back, Ethan Carter III is shown lacing up his boots as Rockstar Spud gives him a pep talk. We see the feet of someone enter the room before the camera pans up to reveal TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus! Ethan stands up and he and Magnus go face to face. Magnus tells Ethan that they might be teaming tonight but that doesn't mean they are friends. Magnus goes on to say that they might have had an alliance a couple of months back but that was only because he was using Ethan's Aunt Dixie so that he could get what he wanted--the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The pair bicker with Magnus telling EC3 that he doesn't do losing so Ethan better be on his A-game.
Commercial Break
We are back in the Impact Zone when Samuel Shaw comes down the ramp with an envelope. Christy Hemme bails through the crowd when she sees Shaw, leaving him to grab a chair from ringside and slide it into the ring. Samuel says that he isn't leaving the ring until Christy comes back out here and talks to him. Christy refuses to come back out to ringside as Shaw continues to sit on the chair, yelling that all he wants is to explain himself to her. She still refuses and so Shaw opens the envelope he was carrying, taking out a copy of Hemme's Playboy magazine! Samuel opens the magazine but the entrance music of Hernandez hits and Super-Mex comes down to the ring! Hernandez calls Shaw a creep, telling him that he's going to kick his ass right here, right now. Hernandez shoves Shaw to the mat before the official calls for the bell and we have an impromptu match on our hands here!
Samuel Shaw defeats Hernandez. Hernandez towered over Samuel here and in the early going of the match, he would toss Shaw about the ring like a ragdoll, absolutely dominating him. Christy re-appeared at ringside, cheering on Hernandez to beat Shaw. When Samuel was set up in the corner, Hernandez charged at him but Shaw grabbed the referee and used him as a shield, stopping Super-Mex in his tracks. Hernandez moved the referee aside but the distraction allowed Shaw time to attack Hernandez's leg, taking the big man off his feet! Shaw continued to work over the leg of Hernandez but he wouldn't stay down, eventually battling back. It wasn't to be tonight for Hernandez though as Shaw was able to sync in the Kata-gatame and Hernandez ended up passing out!
Samuel raises his hand as Taz mentions how that was an impressive victory for Shaw to be able to take down someone the size of Hernandez. Christy looks disgusted at ringside when suddenly the camera cuts back to the ring where Eric Young is perched on the top rope unbeknownst to Samuel. He turns around and EY comes flying off with a missile dropkick! Young continues his attack, unloading on Shaw with punches as the crowd go wild. We see Christy searching under the ring, eventually pulling out a straitjacket! Christy tosses it into the ring and Young holds it up, signalling that he's going to lock Samuel up in the jacket! Before he is able to, the arena lights cut out and when they come back up Samuel is nowhere to be seen! We fade to a commercial with Christy looking in shock, and Young pissed off.
Commercial Break
Enraged about their loss earlier in the evening, The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) are shown in Jeff Jarrett's office. The pair demand a rematch against The BroMans because of DJ Z interfering and costing them the match. Jarrett agrees, booking The BroMans vs. The Wolves with the titles on the line for Sacrifice next week. Davey and Eddie high five each other before Jarrett then reveals that he has an idea to deal with the DJ Z problem. Zema will be suspended high above the ring inside a shark cage so as to avoid no interference!
Kurt Angle, Gunner and Austin Aries are shown talking in the back. Their other partner tonight in Bobby Roode walks into the room and there's an awkward silence. Aries and Roode have an intense staredown until Kurt intervenes, saying that he realises Aries and Roode will be on opposing sides of the ring next week at Sacrifice, but tonight they're going to need to get along. Kurt says that the 4 of them all have a common enemy on the opposing team tonight and if they can't get along right now then they stand no chance out there as a team.
X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin with Alex Shelley defeats Willie Mack to retain. SoCal mainstay Willie Mack looked great out there tonight, looking the best out of all the previous guys who we've seen as part of the Chris Sabin Invitational over the past month. Sabin had his work cut out due to Willie being much bigger than him, on top of Willie being quite agile. The tension between The Motor City Machineguns was still rife here tonight with things only getting worse when Shelley accidentally almost cost Sabin the match. The finish came when Sabin spiked Mack with a Tornado DDT out of the corner.
Sabin is lucky to be leaving here tonight still the X-Division Champion. He doesn't wait around for Mack to get back to his feet, instead heading up the ramp with Shelley, the pair continuing to argue as Sabin blames Shelley for almost costing him the title here tonight! Mike Tenay and Taz both begin hyping Sacrifice which will air a week from tonight. They go over the card, announcing that 3 new matches were added to the card. Those were Eric Young and Samuel Shaw in a Straitjacket match, Gail Kim vs. Alyssa Flash in a Street Fight, and The Wolves will get another shot at The BroMans and the TNA World Tag Team Championships but this time to ensure DJ Z doesn't interfere, he will be hoisted in the air at ringside in a shark cage!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode, Gunner, Austin Aries and Kurt Angle defeat World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus, Ethan Carter III, Abyss and James Storm with Rockstar Spud. 4 of the main feuds going on right now came together for this huge 8-man tag match just 7 days before Sacrifice on Spike. Despite Aries and Roode going to be on opposite sides of the ring come Sacrifice when they get a shot at Magnus' title belt, they were able to work well here as a team. The same cannot be said for Magnus and Ethan, who could not co-operate. The action was fast and hard-hitting throughout but it would be the face team who would leave tonight victorious after Roode had things going his way, Aries tagged himself in and nailed Abyss with a 450° Splash for the win!
Aries and Roode get into a shoving war that culminates in Roode flooring Aries and both men rolling about the ring unloading on each other! Kurt and Gunner attempt to split things up but Magnus, Storm and Ethan attack them with Spud soon joining in also, handing Carter a steel chain. Aries and Roode continue to brawl, fighting through the crowd and out of sight. With things not looking great for Gunner and Kurt, who are heavily outnumbered, a familiar entrance theme starts up...
It's Samoa Joe!!! Samoa Joe is back in Impact Wrestling! Joe charges to the ring, immediately taking the fight to Magnus, Carter, Storm, Spud and the man who cost Joe his title shot against Magnus back at Lockdown, Abyss! Magnus bails from the ring with his title before Joe aids Kurt and Gunner in clearing house. Joe then nails poor Spud with a Muscle Buster as Magnus watches on from the top of the ramp as if he's just seen a ghost! The show comes to a close with Joe pointing at Abyss, making a throat-slashing gesture!

Jord my bad for missing the last 2 shows. Catching up now...
Main Event feud between Roode, Aries & Magnus is still the highlight of the show. Roode has lost a little edge since turning face but that's fixable. The feud while great seems to be leading to other things for all involved going into the future which is interesting. The title should end up on Roode I think but not just yet.
Angle/EC3 while not being hyped enough at times is going well not sure if I like the involvement of Jarrett and 100% don't want to see a heel Jarrett come out of this.
Telling a good story with Sabin & Shelley it seems to have jumped a stage but it's one of my favourite parts of the show currently.
Glad to see your not rushing the belts on to the Wolves.
Samuel Shaw reads so much better in reality the guys pants but he is one of my favourite characters in your diary and his choke reads vicious.
I think more could be being done with Storm & Bully. 18 months or so ago these two could have been the top face/heel no reason they can't get back to that position.
Overall 2 strong shows, Sacrifice looks like a top card. Looking forward to seeing where you go coming out of the show.
If you haven't already check out the latest from TNA02-03

I was just looking back at our TNA 2009 split. Good times. I missed some of this, but Magnus/Aries/Roode sounds great for Sacrifice. Not sure who Ultimate Tiger is but he sounds rather cool. I must point out again that the layout for this is simple and great. The Mag Daddy is a cool little nickname. Gail Kim turning face and winning is cool but OHYMYGOODNESS did you just book Alissa Flash vs. Gail Kim in a Street Fight? I want to make love to you right now. I also love the Anti-Knockouts character. You made a mistake saying that Jeremy Borash was preparing for an 8 man tag, and then Jeremy Borash approached him. The Bully Ray segment was creative and pretty great. Consider me a big fan of what you're doing with him. Surprised to see the BroMans beat the Wolves again, but I mean, they have to take the belts soon right? I've never had the chance to see Samuel Shaw, so his character is a creep? The Playboy magazine was a nice touch and beating Hernandez is still kind of big. The Wolves getting the rematch is cool and putting DJ Z in a shark cage is a very TNA thing to do. Chris Sabin winning is the right move, though I would like to see him drop the belt and eventually see Wolves/MCMG because duh. Good main event and Roode and Aries brawling after makes sense. Samoa Joe returning is cool but I had no clue he was gone. I can see Joe/Abyss being added to Sacrifice maybe. Overall, a good show and I like where you're going with a lot of things here.

| Sacrifice on Spike Apr. 24, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
We are broadcasting live from the Impact Zone at Universal Orlando Resort for this special Sacrifice themed edition of Impact Wrestling on Spike! At the announcers booth, as always, are Taz and Mike Tenay, who waste no time in hyping up tonight's card from top to bottom. The pair also discuss Samoa Joe returning to TNA programming last Thursday night on Impact Wrestling after his suspension was uplifted and he made it clear that he was coming for Abyss, the man who cost him his match against Magnus for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Lockdown.
El Decker defeats Chris Sabin to win the X-Division Championship. Hot way to kick the show off tonight as the Chris Sabin Invitational continued, this time a local wrestler by the name El Decker stepped up to the plate. When Sabin made his entrance, we were shown a clip from earlier tonight of Sabin telling Alex Shelley to stay in the back tonight as he almost cost him the match last week against Pro Wrestling Guerrilla mainstay, Willie Mack. Sabin dominated Decker for the majority of the match as Taz noted how Decker only has a few months in-ring experience behind him compared to Sabin's 14 year long career. Sabin got too cocky in the end, allowing for El Decker to stun the champ with a tilt-a-whirl into a small package for the huge upset victory!
Sabin charges after Decker but he retreats to the outside just in the nick of time where the ref meets him to hand him the X-Division title. Sabin freaks out inside the ring as Decker takes off his mask to reveal himself as Alex Shelley! The crowd pops at the reveal as Sabin jaw drops. Shelley continues backing up the ramp holding the title high as he starts his 2nd reign as X-Division Champion!
Commercial Break
We come back, the now former X-Division Champion Chris Sabin comes through the curtain to the back and he is enraged. The cameraman asks him for his thoughts on his Motor City Machinegun partner, Alex Shelley, just shocking the World out there and beating Sabin for the X-Division title. Sabin yells into the camera, telling Shelley to enjoy his time as champ as it won't be for long.
Elsewhere in the back, The Beautiful People of Velvet Sky and the TNA Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne are at the interview area with Jeremy Borash. The pair talk about how Ivelisse and Alyssa Flash, the self-professed Anti-Knockout's, have run roughshod over the entire Knockouts division--a division that they, along with so many other women like Gail Kim, have worked so hard over the past 7 years to build from the ground up. Madison admits that Ivelisse pinned her fair and square 2 weeks back and that she is a fighting champion and so all Ivelisse has to do is name the time and the place.
Gail Kim defeats Alyssa Flash in a Street Fight. Despite being heel since her return to TNA back in 2011, Gail has transitioned well to a babyface due to this on-going storyline of Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse attacking any Knockout in their way. With the pair recently sidelining Gail's friend and muscle Lei'D Tapa, Kim has a score to settle with them both. Gail and Alyssa are 2 of the toughest Knockouts on the roster and so this Street Fight was hard-hitting from the get-go. Gail was able to score the victory when she countered Flash's attempted Irish Whip into the Eat Defeat for the pinfall victory.
Gail celebrates her victory as Ivelisse appears at ringside to help Alyssa out of the ring and to the back. Ivelisse doesn't take her eyes off of Gail as we cut backstage.
The TNA World Tag Team Champions, Jessie Godderz and Robbie E., The BroMans, are shown getting ready for their upcoming tag title defence against The Wolves later tonight. DJ Z is pacing the room as he isn't happy about having to be hoisted above the ring so as to stop him from interfering. Jessie and Robbie don't seem too phased as they are confident that they will leave victorious.
Commercial Break
A video package played hyping up Austin Aries, who is 1 of 2 challengers to Magnus and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship later tonight. The video package highlights Aries training regime ahead of the match aswell as his previous reigns as TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Aries gives his thoughts throughout the video before it culminates in him seeming confident in leaving victorious.
Jeremy Borash is once again at the interview area, this time he is standing beside Ethan Carter III. Borash asks Carter for his thoughts going out there tonight to face Kurt Angle but this time around not only is Jeff Jarrett the Special Guest Referee but Rockstar Spud is banned from ringside and he won't have the assistance from Abyss as Magnus has made it perfectly clear to both EC3 and Abyss that Abyss is his insurance policy and not Ethan's! Carter takes the mic from J.B. and shoves him out of the camera frame. He says that Jeff Jarrett may be stacking the odds against him so as to ensure that Kurt leaves here tonight victorious--but he is a Carter and Carter's are winners.
Ethan Carter III defeats Kurt Angle with Jeff Jarrett as the Special Guest Referee. After a turbulent few months, the Olympic gold medallist and the nephew of TNA President Dixie Carter met inside the squared circle one more time. Both men already hold a victory over each other, with Kurt beating Carter at Lockdown via knockout when Ethan refused to tap out to the Ankle Lock so he eventually passed out, and Carter beating Kurt inside a Steel Cage a couple weeks back thanks to outside interference from Abyss. With the added stipulation from Jeff Jarrett that if anyone interferes they will be fired on the spot, this ensured that we had a fair match between both men tonight. Jarrett done his best to call it down the middle, however, after Kurt was able to kick out of the One Percenter Ethan began to get into the face of Jarrett, repeatedly shoving him and saying that it was a slow count. Jarrett eventually had enough and shoved Carter back, who stumbled right into a roll-up from Kurt and a fast count from Jarrett but Ethan was only barely able to kick out! Ethan gets back to his feet but he has lost his barings as he stumbles around, walking right into an attempted Olympic Slam but he is able to land on his feet before Kurt turned around to a knee to the gut and a second One Percenter! This time, it proved to be enough as Jarrett counted, albeit reluctantly, the 3 count.
EC3 springs to his feet as he orders that Jarrett then raise his hand in victory. Jarrett does so before checking on Kurt as Ethan stands tall with a huge grin on his face.
Commercial Break
Another video package is aired, this time highlighting the other challenger in tonight's main event, Bobby Roode. The video shows Bobby running the ropes in an empty arena as he gives a running commentary over the tape. He calls himself the "It Factor" for a reason and he doesn't give a damn who he has to cross to get to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and whether that be Austin Aries, who he held the TNA World Tag Team Championships with, then so be it.
Back to the arena and we see Ethan Carter III heading down the hallway. He then enters a locker room where Rockstar Spud, Magnus and Abyss are. Spud immediately begins to rapidly clap and cheer, congratulating Carter on his victory over Kurt Angle. Spud then begins to fire off party poppers before Magnus goes up to Ethan. He has his TNA World Heavyweight Championship hanging over his shoulder as Ethan focuses on that. Magnus snaps his fingers in Carter's face, telling him that his face is up here. He sarcastically congratulates Ethan on his victory and that it's nice to see him win a match cleanly for once. The pair have an intense staredown as the tension in this stable continues to develop.
The Wolves (Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards) defeat The BroMans (Jessie Godderz, Robbie E.) to win the World Tag Team Championships. After continuously being cheated out of defeating Robbie and Jessie to finally capture the TNA World Tag Team Championships due to interference by DJ Z, tonight Z was hoisted high above the ring in a shark cage so as to stop him from interfering. This allowed for both teams to have a fair and clean tag bout. Despite both teams already meeting several times over the past few weeks, they were still able to make this a fresh bout that felt like we were just seeing them collide for the first time. After Eddie kicked out of the Bro Down, Robbie retreated to the floor and took one of the tag straps before sizing Eddie up with it but he scouted it and hit a drop toe hold onto Robbie, sending him crashing face first into the middle turnbuckle. The Wolves were then able to nail the Force of Nature to begin their first ever reign as TNA tag champs!
Our new champs celebrate at ringside with their straps as we see DJ Z freaking out in the shark cage as Robbie is still out cold in the ring and Jessie is down on the floor outside.
The location is John F. Kennedy International Airport as we get a shot of outside the terminal building. The cameraman heads into the terminal where he focuses the lens on the check-in desk for a scheduled flight to Tokyo, Japan. The cameraman then turns the camera around to reveal himself as Bully Ray! Bully talks about how The Great Muta disrespected him back at Lockdown in Miami and ever since Muta has been scared to come to TNA and face Bully like a man. Bully says that he is now taking matters into his own hands and is coming to Tokyo to WRESTLE-1 and pay Muta a visit!
Commercial Break
Gunner is standing in the middle of the ring once we come back from commercials. Taz wonders why Gunner is out here in his ring gear as he isn't scheduled for a match. Gunner calls out James Storm as he is sick and tired of chasing him around the Impact Zone week in, week out and he wants to settle the score between them right here, right now!! After a brief pause, the theme music of "The Cowboy" James Storm hits and he soon emerges from the back, slowly making his way down the ramp. He doesn't enter the ring, instead standing at the bottom of the ramp looking into the ring. He tells Gunner that he has already beaten him fair and square and that he doesn't need to prove himself again to anyone! Gunner takes off his t-shirt and launches it out at Storm, egging him on into coming into the ring right now! Storm calls Gunner a loser and he knows, the dumb crowd in attendance tonight know it and the fat couch potato fans at home sure as hell know it. The pair begin to argue back and forth before Storm teases getting into the ring, but he walks back down the ring steps and heads up the ramp. Gunner has had enough as he leaves the ring and charges after an unsuspecting Storm as he clobbers him from behind! The pair roll around the ramp, exchanging blows until security spill out and separate the pair!
In the third and final video package to highlight our main event, Magnus is the feature. He brags about being the first ever British-born World Heavyweight Championship in all of pro wrestling. He says that Bobby Roode can call himself the "It Factor" all he wants and Austin Aries can brag to be the "Greatest Man that Ever Lived" but the bottom line is, he is the one with the TNA World Heavyweight title.
Commercial Break
Eric Young defeats Samuel Shaw in a Straitjacket match. Despite this match having a decent build to it, the crowd really weren't into it. The objective of the match was to put your opponent into the straitjacket to be awarded victory. Shaw dominated for most of the match, keeping an eye on Christy Hemme in the process, but when Young began to mount a comeback that included Christy rallying behind him, Shaw cut it short and slammed EY to the mat. Samuel then left the ring and asked Hemme why she was behind Eric and not him. He rolls Christy into the ring and tells her that since she loves Young so much, she can have a front row seat for what he is about to do to him. As Eric begins to pull himself to his feet with assistance from the ring ropes, Shaw stalks him, looking to sync in the Kata-gatame. Before he is able to, Hemme lowblows Show allowing Eric to then spike him with a Piledriver and put the straitjacket on Samuel!
Christy is more ecstatic about EY's victory as she celebrates in the ring with him. Shaw begins to come round following the Piledriver as he rolls about the ring, unable to get to his feet due to being zipped into the straitjacket! Shaw looks furious as Christy has a huge smile on her face before we cut to another commercial break.
Commercial Break
World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeats Bobby Roode and Austin Aries to retain. This proved to be one hell of a match as 3 of TNA's top prospects went out there tonight and tore the roof off the Impact Zone. If Magnus had any doubters prior to this match then he silenced them as he really held his own out there tonight against both Aries and Roode, who are arguably 2 of the best in the World pound for pound today. In the early going, despite their differences as of late, Roode and Aries actually worked together on the champ but it wasn't for long as Bobby soon turned on Aries, dumping him to the floor and covering Magnus, attempting to finish this one early but it wasn't enough to keep the champ down. Magnus' tactic was to roll to the floor and linger around the ringside area, leaving both Aries and Roode to beat the living daylights out of each other whilst he watched on, waiting until the right time before entering himself back into the match. Aries was able to drill Roode with the Brainbuster but he wasn't finished there as he scaled to the top, looking for the 450 Splash. Magnus hopped onto the apron and shoved Aries off and to the floor below. Magnus then quickly hooked the leg of Roode but Bobby was able to kick out at 2 and a half! Later in the bout, Magnus' insurance policy Abyss came down to ringside but before he could even step into the ring Samoa Joe burst down the rampway, attacking Abyss from behind! The pair brawled through the crowd and out of sight, allowing the match to continue without distraction. After all 3 men continued the battle, the current reigning and defending champion was able to pick up the win at the 13 minute mark with a roll-up and a handful of tights on Austin Aries!
The champ doesn't hang around for Aries to get some retribution as he scatters to the floor, snatching his title belt from Christy Hemme and making off up the ramp with a huge smirk plastered across his face! Austin Aries is in the ring trying to explain to the ref that Magnus had a handful of tights but he doesn't listen as Bobby Roode can be seen kicking the steel steps and punching the ring apron.

I've always been a fan of your works Jord, easily one of my favourites on the board. I have been checking this out, just been too lazy to reply. I re-read all the build to Shelley/Sabin, good way to start a feud, should be epic. Flash being in this great. Would have been one of the bst womens matches. EC3 going over is big, seems like he's being built up as a big deal. Lots of good promos and segments in between. Esp the Bully Ray bit. Wolves winning the belts is awesome, it does say they retain though. Straightjacket match is an odd concept, very TNA. Surprised Young went over thought it would be a feud Shaw would go over, maybe he'll win the next match. Good main event, I'm not sold on Magnus as champ but I want to be so win me over. Not many matches for a PPV but maybe that's what it was at the time. I dunno. Good luck and keep this up.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike May 1, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
Hello and welcome to another stacked edition of TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike! Our announce team of Mike Tenay and Taz are buzzing following last week's special edition of Impact Wrestling, dubbed Sacrifice, which saw 2 new champions crowned in Alex Shelley as X-Division Champion and The Wolves finally being able to defeat The BroMans and win the TNA World Tag Team Championships. The pair also talk about Magnus escaping Sacrifice still the TNA World Heavyweight Championship by the skin of his teeth as he had a handful of Austin Aries' trunks.
Speaking of the devil, the entrance music of Magnus blasts throughout the Impact Zone as our TNA World Heavyweight Champion comes out from the back wearing a suit and sunglasses with his title belt hanging over his shoulder. Directly behind him, as usual, is his insurance policy Abyss, who got into a brawl with Samoa Joe at Sacrifice. Magnus is as cocky as ever as he takes to the mic, asking for the crowd in attendance to rise for their champion. He talks about how Jeff Jarrett is out to get him, always stacking the odds against him but he is just that damn good that he will always prevail and leave victorious. Magnus is then cut off by Samoa Joe, who strolls out to a thunderous ovation. Joe says that Magnus couldn't defeat him back at Lockdown without outside interference from the big doofus standing behind him--Abyss. Joe puts Magnus on notice, promising him that he will reclaim the TNA World Heavyweight Championship but before that he has a score to settle with Abyss for costing him his match back at Lockdown. Joe begins to make his way down the rampway when the music of Austin Aries, who tells Joe that there are more pressing matters than him and Abyss. Aries tells Magnus that he had to cheat to leave Sacrifice last Thursday night with the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. The It Factor, Bobby Roode is next out and he isn't best pleased. Roode wants a rematch as he wasn't the one pinned in the triple threat. Magnus tells all 3 guys to cry him a river as NONE of them are getting a shot at his title! Magus says that it doesn't matter if TNA management line-up 1 opponent, heck even 2, 3 or 4 because he will always beat them, just like he did to Aries and Roode last Thursday at Sacrifice. Jeff Jarrett then cuts Magnus off as he appears at the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand. He tells Magnus that it's funny he should mention TNA management lining up 4 opponents for him because if he remembers correctly, TNA will present Slammiversary live and on pay-per-view on June 15 from Arlington, Texas and he has a brilliant idea for the main event... Jeff announces that after 5 years the King of the Mountain match will return at Slammiversary and Magnus will defend his TNA World Heavyweight Championship against 4 other TNA Superstars! The champ cannot believe it but Joe, Aries and Roode all seem pleased at the bombshell announcement. Jarrett announces that we will see 2 of 4 qualifying matches here tonight as Bobby Roode faces Abyss and Ethan Carter III faces Gunner!
Commercial Break
World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves defeat Manik and Ultimate Tiger in a non-title match. The makeshift team of Manik and Ultimate Tiger, who also teamed a few weeks back to face The Motor City Machineguns, really gel well and are pretty over with the crowd due to their high-flying movesets. Tonight they had a huge opportunity in the form of facing the new TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves in a non-title match. This was a fantastic tag bout that really showcased all 4 men brilliantly. Despite being the clear underdogs, Manik and Tiger almost picked up the win a few times, most notably when Tiger hit a wicked reverse 450 splash on Davey but Eddie was there to break up the count just in time. The Wolves were able to retain their titles after Eddie blocked Manik's attempt at a springboard hurricanrana and he and Davey nailed the Force of Nature for the 3.
The Wolves celebrate their victory and once both Manik and Tiger are back to their feet, all 4 of them shake hands. Davey and Eddie then head out of the ring and to the back when suddenly all 3 members of The BroMans, DJ Z, Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz, slide into the ring and attack both Manik and Tiger. They nail Manik with the Bro Down just as Davey and Eddie sprint back down the ramp and into the ring, prompting The BroMans to scatter to the floor and to the back, pleased with their actions.
Commercial Break
In his locker room, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus is furious as he knocks things over. He is complaining about Jeff Jarrett being out to get him, always giving him an unfair advantage. Into the room walks Ethan Carter III, who is flanked by Rockstar Spud. Carter, fresh off a huge win over Kurt Angle last week, has a huge smile on his face, which only seems to annoy Magnus more and build greater tension between the pair, who have been at each other's throats as of late, as he asks Carter what the hell he's smiling for. Carter is buzzing for his qualifying match for the King of the Mountain match tonight against Gunner. Magnus' eyes light up as he tells both Ethan and Abyss that if they both qualify for the match then at Slammiversary, the odds will be in his favour to leave still the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Magnus rubs his hands together before heading off, leaving EC3 looking as if he didn't like the sound of that idea.
Ivelisse with Alyssa Flash defeats Velvet Sky with Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne. Following a pinfall victory over Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne several weeks back, Ivelisse has surely put herself in line for a future shot at Madison's title down the line. However, tonight she had to do battle with Madison's Beautiful People teammate in Velvet Sky, who done her best to take the fight to Ivelisse. During the match, we cut to the back where Gail Kim, who defeated Alyssa Flash last Thursday at Sacrifice in a street fight, was seen watching the match on a monitor. Ivelisse picked up the victory at the 5 minute mark when she planted Sky with a wheelbarrow DDT.
Alongside Alyssa, Ivelisse backs up the ramp as Madison checks on Velvet whilst keeping an eye on Ivelisse, who motions to Madison from the top of the ramp that she is coming for her Knockouts title.
Commercial Break
As we return from commercials, Ethan Carter III's music starts up and he comes out alongside his crony in Rockstar Spud. It doesn't take long for Ethan to gloat about his victory over Kurt Angle last Thursday night at Sacrifice. The crowd begin to boo as Carter stands there with a huge smile plastered on his face whilst Rockstar Spud dramatically applauds him, doing nothing but inflate the ego of EC3 even more (if that is even possible). Carter says that it's about time Jeff Jarrett put aside his hatred towards Aunt D and acknowledge that EC3 is money. Dixie's nephew doesn't get to go on much longer as he is interrupted by Gunner, who storms down to ringside looking like he means business. Gunner tells Ethan that he is going to do the fans in attendance and the fans around the World a favour and shut him up! Gunner tackles Carter to the mat, unloading on him with a series of right handed shots as the referee then calls for the bell and this one is underway.
Ethan Carter III with Rockstar Spud defeats Gunner to qualify for the King of the Mountain match. Due to the impromptu start, Carter doesn't get a chance to regain himself and fight back in the early going as Gunner remains in control. When Spud is able to distract Gunner for a split second, Carter seizes the opportunity and attacks Gunner's leg, taking him down. Both men continue the battle back and forth in an excellent match, showing the World that the future of TNA is safe in the hands of these two. They fight tooth and nail, but it was EC3's night as he is the first man to qualify for the King of the Mountain match after spiking Gunner with the One Percenter.
The official raises the hand of Ethan as Rockstar Spud once again dramatically applauds his employer on his victory. We cut to the back where we see James Storm watching on a monitor as we can now see Gunner lying on his back on the mat. Storm turns around to Jeremy Borash who asks Storm for his thoughts on Gunner's loss. Storm tells Borash that what the World just witnessed out there is the exact reason he won't give Gunner the rematch against himself that he so badly wants. Storm says that he beat Gunner 1-2-3 and when he too qualifies for the King of the Mountain match next week, he is moving on to bigger and better things than Gunner--namely the TNA World Heavyweight Championship!
Commercial Break
In a follow-up to the video aired at Sacrifice of Bully Ray checking in for his flight to Tokyo in pursuit of The Great Muta, tonight we see Bully in his hotel room. He holds the camera out of his room window, focusing on a particular building. He reveals that it is in that very arena WRESTLE-1's next show will emanate. Bully says that he plans on showing up and doing what he does best...
Samoa Joe defeats Christopher Daniels with Kazarian. In his return match to TNA programming since his suspension was lifted 2 weeks ago, Joe stepped into the ring with 1/2 of Bad Influence in Christopher Daniels. Rumours have been running wild on the status of Daniels and Kazarian's TNA contracts with many news outlets reporting that they are still negotiating a deal which could explain the fact that neither have really been featured on Impact Wrestling over the past few months. Despite the fact it was clear from the outset that Joe would pick up the win in his return bout here, Daniels really held his own and almost picked up, what some would call, an upset victory over Joe. In the end, Joe was able to roll out of harm's way from Daniels' B.M.E before perching him on the second rope and connecting with the Muscle Buster to leave here tonight victorious.
As Joe yells that he is coming for Abyss, Mike Tenay notes that Joe is 1/8 of the men scheduled to compete in King of the Mountain qualifying matches over the next several weeks.
Commercial Break
After a loss to Ethan Carter III last week at Sacrifice, Kurt Angle is standing by with Jeremy Borash. Kurt admits that Ethan beat him fair and square and that of course it sucks to lose a match as big as that last week. He says that he may be down--but he is not out, as next week he has a King of the Mountain qualifier with James Storm and that he will get himself back on the winning path.
Back in the Impact Zone, former X-Division Champion Chris Sabin is standing in the centre of the ring with a mic in hand. His music fades out and he begins talking about for the past 7 nights has been DYING for answers as to why his ex-best friend Alex Shelley turned on him at Sacrifice and took his X-Division Championship away from him. Sabin asks for Shelley to come out here and face him. Ask and you get, Sabin, as the new X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley makes his first appearance on TNA programming after his victory last week. Just as Shelley raises the mic to his mouth, Sabin clubs him with his own mic! Sabin repeatedly smashes Shelley with the microphone before raising his own hands to the crowd. Shelley shows his fighting spirit, firing back at him with stiff shots. Shelley ends up sending Sabin to the floor before climbing to the top turnbuckle but Sabin sees him and runs up the ramp out of harm's way. Shelley jumps back down into the ring where he picks up his X-Division Championship and holds it high as Sabin runs his hands through his hair at the top of the rampway out of frustration.
We see a split-screen of both Abyss and Bobby Roode walking down hallways ahead of their King of the Mountain qualifier. Who will join Ethan Carter III and champion Magnus? Find out after this!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode defeats Abyss with World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus to qualify for the King of the Mountain match. Since his return to being a heel a few months ago, Abyss has become even more vicious inside the ring and that was evident here tonight as he nailed Bobby with a plethora of big man power moves throughout, looking to finish this one early on. Not only was Abyss determined to qualify for the King of the Mountain match but so was the man in his corner tonight, Magnus as it would give him a huge advantage in the match to have both Abyss and Ethan Carter III in there alongside him. Despite Abyss' best attempts to pick up the win, Bobby Roode is one of the best in the World for a reason and he proved that, outsmarting and outwrestling "The Monster". Some miscommunication between Magnus and Abyss saw Abyss knock the champ off the apron, sending him crashing into the guardrails. Abyss then turned around, walking right into a waiting Bobby Roode who showed an impressive display of strength by scooping Abyss up onto his shoulders and nailing a sloppy looking Roode Bomb to become the 2nd man to qualify for the King of the Mountain match!
Roode is quick to get his feet, holding his ribs with one arm as the referee raises the other! The camera shows Magnus flipping out on the floor as the show comes to a close with Roode celebrating.

IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES FOR MAY 2: -- The Samuel Shaw character is reportedly taking a break from television. Shaw's loss to Eric Young in a stratijacket match at Sacrifice was done as a way to write the character off of all programming until later on down the line. It's believed that TNA management aren't happy with Shaw's current in-ring work and will be sending him to join Rob Terry (and now Bully Ray) in Japan with WRESTLE-1.
-- Speaking of WRESTLE-1, TNA are in talks with the promotion about bringing some of their own stars to North America for Impact Wrestling tapings and live events in the near future. Three WRESTLE-1 prospects who are currently impressing TNA management are Seiya Sanada, Daiki Inaba and Soya Manabu.
-- In an update on reports of the current run of Impact Wrestling episodes being aired being the last to emanate from the Impact Zone for 4-6 months are true.

| Impact Wrestling on Spike May 8, 2014 @ Orlando, FL. Broadcast Team: Mike Tenay & Taz |
Once the usual Impact Wrestling intro video is done rolling, we cut to inside the Impact Zone as the camera pans through the crowd whilst the announce team of Taz and Mike Tenay do the usual opening lines, hyping up the show ahead tonight. The pair recap Jeff Jarrett's blockbuster announcement last week of the King of the Mountain match returning to pay-per-view at Slammiversary on June 15. Tenay hypes how we will find out tonight which 2 other Impact Wrestling superstars will join Ethan Carter III and Bobby Roode, who qualified last week, and current champion Magnus in the match.
X-Division Champion, Alex Shelley defeats Ultimate Tiger in a non-title match. After shocking the World 2 weeks ago at Sacrifice when he defeated his now-former best friend and tag partner Chris Sabin, whilst wearing a mask and under a different ring name, to win the X-Division Championship, Alex Shelley has been riding a wave of momentum at Impact Wrestling live events across the country as he continues to rack up victories. Chris Sabin joined Mike Tenay and Taz at the announcer's booth to give a running commentary throughout. Shelley and Tiger put on a stellar opener to the show tonight as they exchanged control throughout with Ultimate Tiger once again impressing the crowd with his speed and unique arsenal of aerial moves. In the end, it was the champ who left on top as he countered Tiger's attempt at a springboard sunset flip into a pinning combination of his own to pick up the win!
The official hands Shelley his X-Division Championship before he holds it high in celebration. Shelley shakes hands with Ultimate Tiger as we then see Sabin standing on top of the announce table, staring directly over to Shelley, who by now has noticed Sabin. Shelley then taps the title, mouthing to Sabin to "come and get it".
Backstage we see Rockstar Spud talking to a backstage worker about how Ethan Carter III is away on business tonight and that he can't wait for EC3 to win the King of the Mountain match and leave Slammiversary as the TNA World Champion. Magnus approaches Spud and asks him if he just heard correctly. Spud confirms that Magnus heard him right. The champ chuckles before smacking Spud across the face, knocking him to the ground! Magnus warns Spud never to disrespect him again as he heads off, leaving Spud clutching his cheek.
Commercial Break
Once we return from the commercial break, Abyss is already in the ring with Magnus, who has the TNA World Heavyweight Championship slung over his shoulder. Magnus, who isn't dressed to compete unless he will be competing in a $5,000 suit, talks about how he pays Abyss to be his back-up but as of late, Abyss has been slacking and that Magnus doesn't feel like Abyss has what it takes to protect him since he cannot even beat Bobby Roode. So because of this, Magnus has gone out of his way to get Abyss a match right here tonight on Impact Wrestling! Magnus says that it isn't just your regular 1-on-1 match but instead it will 2-on-1! The crowd cheer at the prospect of the odds not being in Abyss' favour but after Magnus reveals the 2 guys to be Dewey Barnes and Norv Fernum, the odds may infact be in Abyss' favour after all. Once Barnes and Fernum have slapped the hands of practically every fan in the building, the official calls for the bell as Magnus leaves the ring to be at ringside.
Abyss with World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus defeats Norv Fernum and Dewey Barnes. A hero's welcome for Dewey and Norv, who are both returning to action after months and months of inactivity. The pair both charge at Abyss simultaneously and throw shots at him but they have zero effect as he tosses them both aside. Abyss absolutely decimates the pair here tonight, picking them apart at the orders of Magnus, who is loving every second of this decimation. The crowd try to get behind Dewey and Norv but they need a miracle here tonight. Abyss nails Norv with the Black Hole Slam before attempting to go for the cover but Magnus orders Abyss to hit Barnes with the Shock Treatment before then stacking both men on-top of each other and pinning them at the same time.
Magnus enters the ring, shoving the referee aside as he himself then raises Abyss' hand! The champ has a huge grin plastered on his face as he points at Abyss and telling him that is the guy he pays to have his back. Magnus, how on a power trip, sees referee Brian Stiffler attempting to help Norv and Dewey to their feets and orders Abyss to "take care of it". Abyss charges over and grabs ahold of Stiffler by the throat but before he is able to do any harm, the music of Samoa Joe hits and he comes sprinting to the ring, taking the fight to Abyss as Magnus slides out of the ring. Both men exchange blows before Joe is able to clothesline Abyss over and out to the floor! Abyss attempts to climb back into the ring as he is goaded on by Joe, but Magnus rushes over and orders Abyss not to, instead the pair head up the ramp, keeping an eye on Samoa Joe, who is now all fired up inside the ring.
Commercial Break
We cut to a video tape of Bully Ray in Japan once again. He is standing outside of the arena in Tokyo where WRESTLE-1 are set to host an event in the coming days. Bully is holding up a ringside ticket for the event, telling The Great Muta that he can't wait to see him in person at the show.
Kurt Angle defeats James Storm to qualify for the King of the Mountain match. Great first hour main event here to determine who will join Bobby Roode, Ethan Carter III and Magnus in the King of the Mountain match in a little over 5 weeks time at Slammiversary. Both Storm and Angle put on a stellar showing, with Storm actually dominating for a good portion of the bout. Kurt was able to mount a comeback, taking Storm down with a a series of German Suplexes. As Kurt then sized Storm up for the Olympic Slam, the Cowboy bailed from the ring and began to head up the ramp as the referee begun to count him out. As he reached the 6 count, Storm's rival Gunner appeared from the back and grabbed ahold of him before running down the ramp and tossing him back into the ring. Storm began to yell at Gunner as Kurt sneaked up behind him and looked for the Olympic Slam once again but Storm was able to land on his feet and attempt an O'Connor Roll but Kurt rolled through and was able to sync in the Ankle Lock! Storm attempted to grab the ropes but Kurt dragged him into the centre of the ring and grapevined it, leaving Storm no choice but to tap out!
As Kurt has his hand raised, the camera cuts to Gunner who looks delighted at the result as he applauds Angle. The camera then cuts back into the ring where James Storm is sitting against bottom turnbuckle in the corner of the ring with his hair part covering his face as he looks enraged!
Commercial Break
At the interview area backstage with Jeremy Borash are Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, Bad Influence. Jeremy asks for their thoughts on Jeff Jarrett booking a match between them and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves. Kazarian says that TNA management have been holding the Bad Influence down over the past few months but tonight is a new dawn and that Daniels and himself will prove to not only the World--but also TNA management--just who exactly the best tag team in all of professional wrestling is.
Gail Kim, Velvet Sky and Knockout Champion, Madison Rayne defeat The Anti-Knockout's and Brooke Tessmacher. Since their arrivals to Impact Wrestling, Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse had both made it clear that they aren't here to befriend any of the other Knockout's but instead to destroy a division that (they believe) now revolves around beauty and so pairing them with another Knockout in Brooke Tessmacher was never going to be a good idea. From the offset and throughout, Flash and Ivelisse could not co-operate with Tessmacher, but that didn't stop Gail Kim and The Beautiful People from working like a house on fire despite Gail and Madison's recent storied rivalry, they were able to put that aside due to their common enemy in Ivelisse and Alyssa. When Flash was in control, Brooke tagged herself in looking to finish the job but when The Anti-Knockout's then abandoned Brooke and headed to the back, she was distracted before turning around into a Spear from Madison for the 3.
Velvet embraces Rayne as Brooke rolls to the floor. Gail walks over to Madison and hands her the Knockout's Championship before the champ and Gail having a staredown as Gail then exits the ring.
Commercial Break
Bad Influence defeat World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves in a non-title match. Over the past few months, Bad Influence have taken a backseat as both tag and singles competitors, so going into this match the clear favourites were Davey and Eddie, The Wolves. Despite this being a dream match for many, the match didn't go on considerably long--roughly going about 6 minutes. With Eddie and Davey looking to have the match in the bag, the former TNA World Tag Team Champions, Robbie E. and Jessie Godderz alongside DJ Z, providing a distraction to The Wolves long enough for Kazarian to roll Davey up from behind and leave here tonight with a huge non-title win over the tag champs!
The BroMans high five one another at the bottom of the ramp, pleased at costing The Wolves their match. Kazarian and Daniels celebrate at ringside as if they just won the Super Bowl whilst Davey and Eddie look on stunned from the ring. Eddie is handed by a mic from Christy Hemme and he says that he and Davey are both sick and tired of The BroMans getting involved in their matches and next week they will put their titles on the line in a rematch from Sacrifice! Davey then adds that since DJ Z is so adamant in consistently getting involved, why don't they make it a 3-on-2 match for the titles!
In the back, Austin Aries is shown stretching ahead of his main event King of the Mountain qualifier against Samoa Joe when Bobby Roode appears. Aries springs to his feet and goes face to face with Bobby, who tells Aries to calm down and that he only came here to wish Aries luck in his match. Roode sarcastically tells him to break a leg before patting him on the back and leaving.
Commercial Break
A quick video package is played hyping up Slammiversary which will air live on pay-per-view on June 15 in Dallas-Fort Worth. Tickets are still available.
Austin Aries defeats Samoa Joe to qualify for the King of the Mountain match. With the last spot in the King of the Mountain match up for grabs here, A Double and the Samoan Submission Machine fought tooth and nail in an absolutely outstanding main event here tonight that was a treat for both the fans in attendance and those of you watching around the World. It was hard to call this one as there were so many near falls throughout with both guys pulling off a plethora of high impact manoeuvres aswell as their signature moves. At various points throughout the match, the camera would cut to Magnus in the back with his TNA World Heavyweight title belt keeping a close eye on the match. Aries looked to wrap things up when he went for a 450 Splash but Joe rolled out of the way. Aries was able to land on his feet just in time before ducking Joe's attempt at a running dropkick. As Joe got back to his feet in the corner, Aries almost knocked his teeth out with a running dropkick before quickly following it up with a Brainbuster, showing an impressive feat of strength to get Joe up. This proved to be enough, earning Aries that coveted final spot!
After celebrating his victory, this week's edition of Impact Wrestling comes to a close with Joe and Aries shaking hands in a mutual sign of respect as the crowd applaud them for their efforts.

Good show a couple of points I could nit pick like Shelley just allowing Sabin to get away with jumping him last week and Storm attempting to walk out of his match with Angle. They are only minor issues.
It was a well booked show and Slammiversary shaping up nicely. KOTM plus more than likely Joe v Abyss, Gunner v Storm, Sabin v Shelley and Wolves v Bad Influence maybe!
Good to see this back - this was my favourite shows since your return.
Check out my latest when you get a chance haven't posted in a couple of weeks but have a number of shows in the bank ready to post when I get chance.

IMPACT WRESTLING News & Notes: -- TNA's upcoming Impact Wrestling tapings in New York City on June 25th through 27th are reportedly been seen by management as a "reboot" of sorts. There are currently talks backstage about the potential return of the six-sided ring aswell as a shuffle in the announcers booth. Jeremy Borash worked the most recent set of tapings as play-by-play, calling the action with Taz and management were reportedly high on the pairing.
-- Tito Ortiz, who hasn't been seen on Impact Wrestling since August when Bellator MMA pulled him from all programming, confirmed earlier today on Twitter that he is indeed still contracted to TNA. Rampage Jackson also previously confirmed in an interview that he too was still contracted to the company.
-- The 5/8 edition of TNA Impact Wrestling scored a 0.84 cable rating, which was up almost 12% from last week’s 0.75. The episode was watched by 970,000 people, up 4.3% from last week’s 930,000. The show was #39 in cable Thursday night, whilst the 5/8 edition of the show didn't even make the top 100 shows on cable.
-- Tickets for Slammiversary on June 15 in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. are selling well, judging by online ticket retailers as the entire floor has been sold out. The company have some surprises lined up for the show with Dixie Carter reportedly reaching out to some TNA alumni about appearing on the show.
-- For those of you writing in asking the whereabouts of Lei'D Tapa, we can confirm that Alyssa Flash and Ivelisse's attack on her several weeks back was done as a way of writing her off of television and sending her back to Ohio Valley Wrestling for further training. The company feel that with some more training behind her, Tapa could be a huge star for TNA.
-- Rob Terry is continuing to make strides in Japan where he is working for WRESTLE-1 as part of TNA's working relationship with the Japanese promotion. Terry has been out there since late last year and there are reportedly no plans for him to return to TNA programming just yet. The Great Muta, the founder and booker of WRESTLE-1, is high on Terry and has been pushing him as a main eventer.
-- In other WRESTLE-1 news, Samuel Shaw is being advertised for an upcoming tour with the company. This could explain why Shaw lost the straitjacket match against Eric Young back at Sacrifice as it was a way of writing him out of current programming whilst he went out to Japan to further his craft.
