Here we go with a “live” show. Will it be good, or will it
be RAW? Let’s find out.
A recap of last week’s main event fights brings us to Ethan
Carter III talking about his #1 Contender status. After leading chants for EC3,
and “Next World Champ”, he talks about how he needs a moment of perfection. He
says being TNA World Heavyweight Champion means being the best, and he’s Bound
For Glory. This brings out TNA World Heavyweight and X-Division Champion Bobby
Lashley, who says he is the best because he has both Championships, and that EC3
is not the man to beat him. EC3 does put over his accomplishments, then TNA
King of the Mountain Champion James Storm to remind them tonight is his match
as his microphone dies. Well he makes a challenge to Lashley, and both fight. EC3
gets assaulted by the predator of Mike Bennett and his buddy Moose, until EC3’s
tag team partner tonight, Eddie Edwards, makes the save. Edwards says the match
happens now. Both teams brawl going into break. Back from break, EC3 and
Bennett rapidly exchange the driver’s seat. Frequent tags by EC3 and Edwards
have Bennett reeling in the early portion of this match. Once Moose tags in, he
quickly exchanges momentum with Edwards before dropkicking him outside. Moose then
tags Bennett in, who this times joins Moose with frequent tags before Edwards
makes a desperation tag to EC3. EC3 out-powers Moose, and throws Bennett. Mouse
is sent outside after a tag is made to Edwards. Both Edwards and EC3 fly at
their opponents. Once they get Moose back in, Edwards hits a huricarana, but
Bennett makes the save. After knocking EC3
down, Moose hits the go to hell, but Bennett tags in to get the pin. Moose may
have an October opponent.
Handel’s “The Messiah” is playing. Who has signed? No, not
Jim Neidhart.
An ad for BFG has Matt Hardy going nuts as usual.
Storm talks about becoming TNA Champion, and how he’s waited
to get to this point.
The former Damien Sandow, now known as Aron Rex, emerges
with a much shorter beard. He’s put over as the biggest star in years to sign.
Rex says TNA did what others were scared to de by letting him speak. He then
implies it’s not about WWE. Like Drew Galloway, he begins his run here by
saying it’s about the fans. He says he was considered to entertaining to get
World Heavy Weight Championship matches. But Cena gave him one. He then throws
shade on guys like Roman Reigns being pre-ordained. He says he’s here to seize
opportunity. He makes a reference to his Sandow gimmick when thanking fans, who
are calling him a genius. He says his new home is here. While the shoot has
been overdone, he actually cranked that sumb---- out of the park.
Maria tells Gail Kim about the next match she’ll win because
management wants her husband to invest. This sees Marti Bell attack. Guess
who’s winning.
Edwards yells at both Bennett and Moose, and gets a match
with the latter next week.
Gail and Marti is no Disqualification. Both brawl outside,
but Allie distracts Gail long enough for Marti to assault her and get her back
inside. Marti kicks away both on the ground and in the corner. Missing a hip
bomb is a mistake by Marti, but Allie again distracts. The fight goes outside
as Marti blasts Gail into the rail and sending her inside. Both knock each
other down with an elbow. Gail then blitzes Marti until Maria tells Allie to
attack Gail with Marti’s club. Gail sends Allie into Marti, and uses a small
package to, no surprise, win. After Marti attacks, Jade makes the save, sends
Allie out, and is booked in a lose to Gail match.
Matt Hardy’s drone drives Matt to meet with Jeff Hardy.
They’re in action next.
Storm talks near what may be his father’s burial site.
Winning the gold mean’t a lot to basically his whole family.
The Hardys are in action. Matt says something about scaring
the prospective opponents, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Decay. After
bringing Jeff out, Matt goes nuts about Jeff’s injury last year. Jeff says he
needs Matt to wrestle. Jeff says the fans want The Hardys to be back to normal,
but Matt does not want it. This brings out The Tribunal, who praise Matt. Jeff
berates everyone, demands a referee, and attacks both Tribunal. Jeff attacks
Basile Baraka going into break. Matt’s ad again. Back from break, Al Snow
attacks Jeff before Baron Dax brings him back inside. Jeff uses a jawbreaker,
and tries to tag in Matt, who refuses. Baraka’s in, and works on Jeff’s arm
while Matt “hypnotizes” a fan, then beats Dax up. Jeff hits his moves of doom
on Baraka, and Jeff wins using a twist of fate. After the match, Jeff attacks
Baraka again with two more twist of fates, followed by one on Dax, even two on
Snow. As Matt laughs, Jeff sets up a series of tables. Jeff sends Snow outside,
delivers one more twist of fate as he asks if this is good enough. Jeff then
splashes through the table. Jeff says only he’s allowed to punish himself, and
Swanton bombs the table. This Gooker is ours.
Lashley has noticed Dixie and Billy seem to like Storm. When
they say they offered him the chance to speak, he says his actions speak.
The Decay yammer about Bram. They may have written him out
if he gets arrested again.
Drew talks about how he’s angered at EC3 for being the
reason he’s not TNA Champion. We suspect BFG needs placeholder feuds like
2001-2013 did with Cena. Drew thinks EC3 intentionally cost him his chances to
become TNA Champion 3 times. Drew then says because he stayed out of last
week’s main event, he demands a match for EC3’s shot.
Storm again says he’s looking to be TNA Champion.
Next week sees The Hardys against BroMans against The
Tribunal against The Helms Dynasty, Gail against Jade, and Edwards against
Moose.
Lashley battles Storm for three belts. Lashley attacks
Storm, but Storm hits a superkick that gets only two. The battles goes outside,
where Storm brings Lashley down by clotheslining him, and high-fiving the fans.
Storm elbows Lashley and brings him inside before sending him back outside.
Lashley then elbows away going into break. Back from break, and Lashley totally
brings out a beast by using his power against Storm. Lashley goes to pin, but
only gets two. Lashley then hammers Storm while against the middle rope. After
using a punishing neckbreaker, Lashley then shoulders Storm in the turnbuckles.
After a delayed vertical suplex, Lashley waits until Storm is back up, but
Storm reverses where the match is headed. Even after getting his by a
crossbody, Storm is able to hit the eye of the Storm, but only gets two. Storm
grabs Lashley, who pulls the pad off a buckle, which Storm hits on kick out.
Despite a spinebuster and spear, Lashley gets two. Lashley tells Storm to stay
down. Storm manages to hit two superkicks, but Lashley gets out at two. Both
men are back up, when despite a lungblower by Storm, a spear by Lashley now
holds the TNA, X-Division, and King of the Mountain Championships. Rex appears
on stage, suggesting he may get a shot.
A fun week that sees a new face bringing interest. Until
next week.
