Matt was going over how he felt about relinquishing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Hardy said that he reached the pinnacle of his career at Bound for Glory. His mentality at time was that the World Title Series was an opportunity to prove that he’s one of the best performers in the industry today. Hardy fought Davey Richards in the first round and while Richards can beat anybody on any given night, Richards fell victim to the Matt Hardy Formula (Bell, Wrestle, Twist of Fate and Victory). Hardy took on Eddie Edwards in the second round and if you don’t take Edwards seriously he will eat you alive. Hardy was impressed with his match with Robbie E. We see a clip from the Davey Richards/Matt Hardy first round match-up in the TNA World Title Series.
After sweeping the competition in group Tag Team Specialist, Hardy was excited to advance to the Round of 16. When Hardy found out that he had to face Bobby Roode right out of the gate, he said that while Roode is one of the greatest TNA World Heavyweight Champions of all-time, Roode was just another obstacle in Hardy’s road of redemption. When it came to his match with Jessie Godderz in the Round of 8, Hardy calls Godderz a legitimate professional wrestler and if Hardy didn’t take Godderz seriously he would’ve lost that match. Hardy said that throughout this series he knew that nobody was going to get in his way. Hardy knows how dangerous Eric Young can be, but Hardy says that he will get pass Young and he will be one step closer to regaining the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and his dream will not die.

Matt Hardy Interview:
Hardy says this thing between EC3 and himself has gotten extremely personal.

Hardy wanted to set an example for his son and everyone else when he handed that title back, and he is more confident than ever, and if he has to win seven matches straight to prove he is the best wrestler in the world, that’s what he’s going to do. He’s going to win the title because nobody can stop him, and when Josh asks him to pick a winner between Roode and Abyss, and Matt says he has to go with Roode because he’s the cornerstone of Impact Wrestling.

EC3 asks Mathews how he’d feel if the thing most important in the world to him was taken away. He wasn’t wrestling tomato cans, he’s been going through the best there is. He’s not okay, but he will be when he beats Matt Hardy and kicks his ass out of the World Title Series. Mathews asks EC3 if he’s obsessed with Matt Hardy. EC3 laughs it off and says of course he’s taking it personally, but he’s not obsessed with Matt Hardy.
EC3 is obsessed with beating him, making sure he never wrestles again, and getting this blemish off his record forever. Josh asks EC3 who he thinks will win between Aries and Lashley next week, and EC3 isn’t impressed with either of them.

Hardy said it killed him having to watch Matt go out there and give up the tag team titles, but watching Matt chase the TNA World Title was great because he knew Matt could do it.

TNA IMPACT Wrestling Location: Orlando, FL Date: October 7, 2015 Commentators: Josh Matthews and Taz
We start off with a recap of Matt Hardy’s TNA Title win this past Sunday at Bound For Glory, then Josh and Pope tell us about how wild the last 72 hours have been. We see EC3 flipping out on Aunt Dee and Big John backstage after the match, and then he goes to his attorney’s office to set everything straight. He says it must be nice for Matt to get the title by any means necessary, but he’s getting an injunction to have Matt Hardy barred from Impact forever.
We then go to Matt Hardy at his home where he’s proud to finally become the World Champion in his home state in front of his family, but EC3 couldn’t just admit Matt was the better man, and filed an injunction because he thinks the deck was stacked against him. Now Matt can’t even appear on Impact for the next month because EC3 is holding TNA hostage, and the fans don’t deserve this, so the only thing that’ll make this go away is if he gives up the TNA World Title. He doesn’t want to do it, but it’s what’s best for Impact Wrestling and he’ll get a chance to win it again without controversy.
We skip forward to this morning with Dixie Carter and Billy Corgan, and Dixie says that they were ready to fight the injunction, but after the call from Matt, they’ve accepted his offer to relinquish the title. This puts the injunction to rest, and what Matt did was incredibly unselfish and has set up something unprecedented. Billy says they’ve had a renewed focus on the in-ring action since he’s come in, and now they’ve set up a framework that will allow them to crown a new champion who will stand for everything they believe in. Dixie announces the World Title Series, and we will have a new champion.
Back to Josh and Pope, and Josh tells us that we’ll have eight groups of four, the top two in each group move on to the round of 16 where it becomes single elimination. The first four groups are Group UK (Spud, Bram, Grado, and Drew Galloway), Group Champions (EC3, Lashley, Ken Anderson, and Austin Aries, who doesn’t work here anymore), Group Wildcard (Crazzzzzzzy Steve, Kenny King, Mahabali Shera, and someone else I missed), and Team Knockout (Gail Kim, Brooke, Awesome Kong, and Madison Rayne). Yes, they’ve entered the Knockouts into the tournament.
Drew Galloway is backstage saying that Bound For Glory was the biggest night of his career, and Matt Hardy was the better man that night, but he appreciates what he’s doing and now he has a second chance. He’s steamrolling through Group UK and then he’s steamrolling right to the TNA World Title.
World Title Series Group UK Match: Bram vs Drew Galloway
They do the “two big guys” staredown and then start brawling, quickly spilling out to the floor. We stop paying attention to the match so we can focus on a split screen of Drew Galloway and Bram trading verbal barbs over which of them is the better man and whether this is some kind of Braveheart thing. We go back to the match as Bram smashes Galloway’s face into the ring steps, and then they go back inside where Bram locks Drew down with a rear chinlock. Drew finally goes nuts and fires back with a flurry of right hands and powerslams Bram. Bram rolls out to the floor, so Drew goes after him and rams his face into the ring steps over and over before suplexing him onto the ring apron. Drew hits the running boot and gets the win.
Winner: Drew Galloway
So the current Group UK scores are Galloway 1, Bram 0, Spud 0, and Grado 0.
Gail Kim says TNA has always been the place for women to succeed, and now she has the chance to be the World Heavyweight Champion. She’s going out there and giving it her all.
Drew Galloway is backstage talking about how he felt like he was looking in a mirror when he fought Bram, the difference is he came in with a game plan and he’s not sure Bram does that, but it made the difference tonight.
World Title Series Group Knockout: Gail Kim vs Brooke Tessmacher
They start out with some chain wrestling as we go to the split screen again where both Gail and Brooke talk about how happy they are to have this chance. Back to the match where Brooke counters a flying headscissors to a victory roll for 2. Brooke comes out of the corner with a flying clothesline and then hits a Frankensteiner, and Gail rolls to the apron. Brooke gets a not painful looking variation of Cattle Mutilation; Gail easily gets out and catches Brooke in a top heel hook. Brooke gets out and hits a facebuster, but she misses a top rope elbow drop. Gail drags Brooke to the corner and does the ringpost figure four, then brings her into the ring for a regular figure four and Brooke small packages her for the win.
Winner: Brooke
Great match and I liked the finish.
EC3 is backstage saying the series should be called the EC3 Memorial Screwjob Series. Aunt Dee created this great tournament where everyone is on a level playing field, even though they shouldn’t because he’s the true champion. He’s the only true homegrown TNA talent and he deserves better than this, and it’s convenient how Austin Aries came back just in time for an opportunity like this. The World Title Series isn’t over until he wins.
Back to Josh and Pope so they can talk about what we’ve seen so far, then its back to the tournament…
World title Series Group UK: Grado vs Rockstar Spud
Grado bowls over Spud and overpowers him while we see the split screen of Grado and Spuds arguing unintelligibly. Spud avoids the corner cannonball, hits a corner dropkick, but Grado takes all day to hit a Pedigree and only gets 2. Grado pulls the straps down and gets the anklelock, but Spud quickly rolls out of it and hits Grado with a Stinger Splash. Spud with a bulldog and goes for the Worm, connecting and covering for 2. Grado blows himself up going for the People’s Elbow, but finally hits it for 2. Spud backdrops out of the Styles Clash and chokeslams Grado for 2. Spud does you can’t see me, but he can’t get Grado up for the AA, so Grado tunes up the band, tells Spud he loves him, and goes for Sweet Chin Music. Spud catches the boot and spins Grado around, hits the Stunner, then follows up with the Acid Trip for the win.
Winner: Rockstar Spud
Well that was unique! Great entertainment value. Group UK is now at Galloway 3, Spud 3, Bram 0, and Grado 0. Oh, and Group Knockout is Brooke 3, Gail 0, Kong 0, and Madison 0 since I forgot to mention that before.
Josh and Pope go over Group Champion, then we see Tyrus backstage saying he’s just going to kick back and watch the tournament play out since he’s the #1 contender. The cameraman asks him what happens if EC3 wins the tournament, and Tyrus pauses for a second before saying that if that happens, things are going to get interesting.
World Title Series Group Champion: Ethan Carter III vs Austin Aries
Austin Aries is accompanied to the ring by Thea Trinidad, who Josh reminds us was once known as Rosita here in TNA. Josh also explains why Aries is here after losing his career to Spud: they did a group in the tournament called Team Champion, and they needed four former champions to put in it. Well, I get the logic, but you still didn’t explain why he’s allowed to disregard the outcome of a match that ONLY HAPPENED THREE MONTHS AGO. They do some chain wrestling to start, but EC3 hesitates like Larry Zbyszko, so Aries goes after him on the floor. Aries takes Tyrus out with a dive, but EC3 knocks Aries off the floor and Thea checks on him as we go to commercial.
We’re back as EC3 hits a side salto for 2. We see the clock counting down, telling us that we’re going the time limit since we haven’t seen it all night.

EC3 sneak attacks Aries after the bell and goes for the 1%, but Aries shoves him off, hits a roaring elbow, and drills EC3 into the mat with a brainbuster for the moral victory.

Austin Aries is backstage saying that for all the legends EC3 has beaten, he couldn’t beat Austin Aries. He heard the fans asking for five more minutes and let them fight (we didn’t, but we’ll take his word for it), but EC3 wanted nothing to do with it.

Kong just pounds the snot out of Madison, but Kong misses a splash and Madison gets a couple of quick rollups for 2. Madison hits a missile dropkick for 2, but Kong hits the Implant Buster for the dominant win.
Winner: Awesome Kong
Pretty one-sided, but that’s fine by me. Group Knockout standings are Awesome Kong 3, Brooke Tessmacher 3, Gail Kim 0, Madison Rayne 0.
Bobby Lashley can’t wait to compete and he’s done tournaments his entire life. This one is a little more special because his group is the best of the best, and he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’ll dominate anyone put in front of him. His first victim is someone he likes, trusts, and respects, but Ken Anderson stands in the way of what he’s looking for and he will become victim #1.
Jeremy Borash interviews Matt Hardy, and he says that everyone’s dream in this business is to be the World Champion, and he got to do it with his family there and the belt in one hand and his son in the other, and it was perfect. EC3?s insane injunction handcuffed everyone, so the only thing for him to do to save all the legal trouble was to forfeit the title. It sucks, he hates it, but he felt like he had to do it for the good of Impact Wrestling. He won the TNA World Title and feels good about how he did it, and winning this series gives him the chance to prove he’s the best and deserving of being the TNA World Champion.
Josh and Pope go over tonight’s results, and then its main event time!
World Title Series Group Champion: Ken Anderson vs Bobby Lashley

We’re back as Lashley hits a SWEET double overhook suplex. That was one of my best moves when I was amateur wrestling.

Anderson fights his way out, but Lashley hits a spinebuster and goes for the spear. Anderson dodges and hits clotheslines of his own and a neckbreaker, then a Finlay Roll and covers for 2. Lashley fights out of the Mic Check, hits the spear, and covers Anderson for the win.

Karen says Roode is the longest reigning TNA World Champion and thinks he’s so smart, but she would think he would be smarter about protecting his spot since he’s a week away from answering to her husband. Karen says Dixie has nothing left, she’s outnumbered and Roode is outnumbered. They’ve worked together for a long time, and she wants Roode to think about that. Karen tells Jeff they’re leaving, and they take their leave of Roode.
Drew Galloway, Kenny King, Jesse Godderz, Eli Drake, Micah, Robbie E, and Tigre Uno Backstage Segment:
Galloway doesn’t understand why King, Godderz and Drake doesn’t want to help in this TNA/GFW feud. King says that you don’t always have to fight other people’s battles and you’re not the greatest general in the world. Godderz says that they will be here no matter what happens. Drake says that all Galloway does is talk and has zero bark. Galloway says that he knows people who will stand up for TNA. Robbie E, Micah and Tigre Uno show up and they get into a brawl with King, Godderz and Drake and are separated by the TNA officials and security.
Second Match: Kenny King, Eli Drake, and Jesse Godderz vs. Robbie E, Micah, and Tigre Uno
Micah and King start but a single butterfly suplex sends King off for a tag to Jesse, who is run over by Robbie. Tigre comes in for some headscissors on Drake before its back to Micah to start in on the arm. Micah is taken into the corner and some triple teaming has him in trouble. That only lasts a few seconds before a double clothesline allows the tag to Uno. Tigre grabs a tornado DDT on King before the BroMans are both tagged in. Everything breaks down and we hit the parade of secondary finishers, capped off by the Boom Drop by Robbie E to Jesse to pick up the victory.

He’s already sent Kurt Angle home and made him explain to his kids why he can’t wrestle anymore, and now Melendez is standing there on one leg because of him.
Melendez says he will never back down or surrender, and it’s a good thing Young has that leg because when he gets done with him, he’ll be the one who needs it. Young says he doesn’t have to face him again, but he’s so sure he can beat him again, he’ll give him his leg back. He holds the leg out to Melendez, then shoves him over when he hops over to take it.

TNA IMPACT Wrestling Location: Orlando, FL Date: September 2, 2015 Commentators: Josh Matthews and Taz
Jeff Jarrett comes out with the Global Force Wrestling roster and says he was humble in his return to TNA, and he just wanted to help. He says they only got a taste of what he could do with GFW, and then Karen says she acted because she wanted Jeff to get what he deserved. Karen says she had Chris “Adonis” Mordetzky take out Bully Ray and Drew Galloway, because she knew they would just jump on the bandwagon of whoever walked in here. She says she did what was necessary, then Jeff thanks her and declares tonight is the start of a hostile takeover. Jeff says he’s building a new empire, and he still owns part of TNA, so they can’t do a damn thing.

Karen opens it and says Magnus gave them this, and Jeff tells referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell, because they are cashing in on the tag team titles.

Jarrett follows them and asks why Drew didn’t get the message, and they aren’t going anywhere until they take this company back. Dixie Carter comes out and asks if Jeff can even admit his mistakes, because all she hears from Jeff is “I”. Jeff says Dixie stole his power, but Dixie says she’s been here since day one and it all happened for a reason. Dixie says she knows how to make this go away, and she proposes a ‘winner-takes-all’ match for control of the company.

* We get the opening video package.
The Hardy Boys Talk:
Jeff came out, discussed the fact that people doubted them all their lives, and that Matt just needs one more shot to become champion. Matt said he was close to being champion, and since his match with EC3 could have gone either way, he wants another shot. This brought out EC3, who discussed getting to watch the Hardys in a TLC match back in 1999. He appeared to be kind and sincere, but then did what he does best and totally buried them as a gimp and a beggar. Not really fair to put the Hardys in there with Carter for a back and forth promo segment. Carter offered Matt a rematch, if Matt wins he gets the title; but if Matt loses, Jeff will become EC3’s personal assistant. Carter left before they could give an answer. Good work by Carter, who has completely embraced his role and is thriving. The Hardy program is fine; I am not thrilled about the stipulation but as long as Carter keeps winning for now we’re good.
* We get a video package for Young vs. Melendez, followed by a short and intense promo from Young.
* Jeff and Karen Jarrett appear, and tease that it will be a huge night for Impact.
If Chris Melendez Loses Eric Young Gets His Prosthetic Leg: Eric Young vs. Chris Melendez:
Melendez got more in this match than in past matches, but Young was clearly leading him around to make this work. Despite Melendez’s fire, Young cheated to win (feet on the ropes) to win Melendez’s leg.
Winner: Eric Young
What’s more despicable than a heel wanting to win a wounded veteran’s prosthetic leg? That same heel, cheating to win when he really didn’t have, in order to gain possession of that prosthetic leg, that’s what. Not that I think it’s any good, but the angle is fine; pro wrestling has always done shit like this and I get that they want to tell the ultimate story of redemption. My issue is the fact that I see no potential in Melendez, and feel that Young continues to be wasted. He’s done some good work, I just wish that it was with a young babyface that in the end could overcome and gain momentum from the program. Melendez is a great story, but unfortunately he’s not a good pro wrestler. The segment was ok, class carry job by Young.
TNA X-Division title match: TNA X-Division champion Tigre Uno vs. DJZ vs. Sonjay Dutt:
I absolutely hate that this match exists, because it makes no sense whatsoever. Uno beat Dutt just a few weeks ago and DJZ hasn’t won a singles match in TNA since December of 2014 on an edition of Xplosion. The work was good and clean, but this had very little heat. Likely because these guys are barely on TV and the fans have been given no real reason to emotionally invest in the division. Uno retained with a springboard frog splash.
Winner: Tigre Uno
It was rock solid, but they needed a much better build, actual booking and time to have a match that feel as if it mattered. The company continues to book these guys to fail.
* James Storm demanded that Manik and Abyss win the TNA Tag Team Titles, and told Manik never to dance like he did last week ever again.
TNA tag team title match: TNA tag team champions The Wolves vs. The Revolution:
The Wolves ran wild early, controlling an working over Manik until Abyss scored with a cheap shot and they got the heat on Richards. Edwards eventually got the hot tag, ran wild on Manik after sending Abyss to the floor but he would return and Richards would then come back and it broke down. They then connected with stereo coast-to-coast dropkicks on Abyss, and then Storm appeared and pulled Richards to the floor, and Shera then appeared to brawl with Storm. The Wolves hit the toss up kick and powerbomb back stabber combo for the win.
Winners: The Wolves
The match was pretty good, but also lacked logical booking since Abyss and Manik haven’t been a featured team and did nothing to earn the shot. Again, this is not an issue with the performers, but with the booking.
* Jeff and Matt hardy come back out and Jeff says the stipulation doesn’t matter, because Matt will win and they accept. The match goes down next week.
* We get a video package on Jeff Jarrett’s return to TNA.
TNA Knockouts title match: TNA Knockouts champion Brooke vs. Velvet Sky
There wasn’t a lot of background to this other than Sky had been winning since her return, which is good and more than the previous title matches. They had a good back and forth brawl for the most part, and then Marti and Jade ran in for the DQ. They beat down Sky, and Rebel returned to apparently make the save. But it was a trap as she attacked Sky and joined Dollhouse. Taryn then cut a promo on the big screen, announcing the new and improved Dollhouse.
Winner: Brooke via disqualification
The match was going well, sort of a shame that it ended, but they did a good job of advancing things and playing off of the attack on Taryn. One question, where was Gail to save her new buddy?
* Bobby Roode promised to kick some ass and earn the title shot tonight.
* Mr. Anderson cut a promo about tonight’s match as Galloway talked on the phone backstage. Some serious shit is going down on this phone call.
For a Shot at The King of the Mountain Title: Lashley vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Bobby Roode vs. James Storm:
They did a big brawling segment to begin, and then a fun spot with Anderson and Lashley where they had been working together, shook hands and looked happy, and then went at it. They worked through a commercial, and they worked every multi-man match ever. Isolated guys on the floor, tower of doom, run of signature moves in succession; but that doesn’t make it bad. While I would have liked some more variety, I enjoyed the match. It lacked heat from the crowd, they could have really set this up better if they had hyped it hard last week as four TNA guys fighting for the right to bring the title back to TNA, but I digress. Storm and Roode had a mini-Beer Money reunion, and quickly turned on each other, which led to Roode winning the match and the title shot.
Winner: Bobby Roode
The right guy won, as they set the story that Roode was pissed that he was left out of the mix in terms of that title and he’s had issues with Jarrett over the last few weeks. The right guys won, they kept it moving and it was never boring; this was the best thing on the show so far.
* EC3 is happy that Jeff agreed to his stipulation, and grants Matt his rematch. And when he wins, he will welcome Jeff to team EC3. he already has a suit ready for Jeff.
Main Event Talking:
Dixie came out and discussed not being stubborn and needing to listen to people who offer to help… And then she discusses how happy she was when Jarrett came back, and said that TNA was at their best when they worked together. This led to Jeff & Karen arriving, and Jeff discussing their new chapter and gave a history lesson about making TNA and how it has been a home for him. He knew that Dixie needed help and knows that their relationship is a win for both of their companies and the fans. Dixie was about to put Jarrett in charge of the show, but Galloway interrupted. They then went to break. After the break, Galloway discussed the TNA/GFW partnership and the great competition that it has created. He then discussed a dark cloud over TNA, the Bully Ray attack and then the attack on him. Galloway then revealed that he has evidence as to who was behind the attacks. He found some security footage, and saw the getaway car.
Two rental cars, one name on both rental agreements; Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett of course denied he was involved, swearing on the life of his wife and kids. Karen then admitted that she was the one behind the attacks. She did it for Jeff, and she did it for the people. Sorry, anyway, she did it for GFW. Jeff acted surprised, and Karen said he deserved this, he deserved this company he founded. Jeff then low blowed Galloway and then the GFW roster hit the ring and attacked Galloway as Jeff said he had to do what he has to do. Spud tried to make a save, and failed. Then Robbie E tried and failed, they are doing the old ninja attack from the movies deal, one at a time and it is not working.
The Wolves finally arrive and then they get overwhelmed. Team GFW stands tall as no one from TNA could be bothered to help. I do hope that they explain that next week, otherwise it makes the TNA guys look stupid. I felt that overall this went too long, but that it was a solid angle that may lead to some interest next week. It didn’t have a big time feeling or set the world on fire.
* Next week…
– KOTM Title Match: Champion PJ Black vs. Bobby Roode – TNA World Title Match: Champion Ethan Carter III vs. Matt Hardy (Of Matt loses, Jeff will become Carter’s personal assistant)
TNA IMPACT Wrestling Location: Orlando, FL Date: August 19, 2015 Commentators: Josh Matthews and Taz
Jeff Jarrett starts off the show. It feels like 2005 all over again…or maybe just last week (considering the Global Force Wrestling shirt). Jarrett solidifies the idea of a ‘historic’ main event in which GFW wrestler PJ Black (new King of the Mountain Champion) will challenge Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Championship. Ethan Carter III interrupts him and claims this is not his place anymore and hasn’t been for a long time, because it is as he says, “the house that the Carters built”. EC3 even flubs a bit (possibly on purpose) by referring to PJ Black as The Dire Wolf (great song by the Grateful Dead!) instead of The Darewolf. Karen Jarrett gets on the mic to defend her man and insinuates that EC3 is attacking the various people backstage (like Bully Ray and Drew Galloway). EC3 is ultimately given the choice by Jeff Jarrett when he refuses to defend against PJ Black: “Either defend in the main event like scheduled…or be stripped of the title.”
We go backstage to The Pope and Josh Matthews promoting the rest of the show including Gail Kim vs. 2/3 of the Dollhouse in a Steel Cage, Drew Galloway vs. Eli Drake in a No DQ Match, and Bram vs. Mr. Anderson in the “Open Mic Match.”
Drew Galloway briefly is seen backstage addressing the attack on him. He seems rather confident that it was Eli Drake and that he has coming to him what he deserves.
Bram vs. Mr. Anderson
Brawling begins the match, as with just about any match involving Bram. Anderson quickly gets a table involved and lands a very innovative Finlay Roll off the apron through the table. The Loud One climbs the ladder but couldn’t seem to get a good grip on the hanging microphone before Bram knocks him off. The British Brawler gets up on the ladder, but Anderson brings him down, only to fall victim to a move similar to the Edge-O’ Matic and a strong Impaler DDT. Bram obviously idolized The Brood growing up. Bram gets a chance to grab the mic, but chooses to inflict more pain instead. The ladder gets set up in the corner as Bram begins to toss several steel chairs in the ring.
Anderson tries The Mic Check into the chairs, but Bram reverses it and gives his opponent the opportunity to whip him into the ladder sitting in the corner. Bram then Powerbombs Anderson off the ladder and into the pile of steel chairs! He now grabs the microphone and apparently the match isn’t over yet. As he swings with the mic, he ironically takes a Mic Check from Anderson into the pile of chairs. Anderson then uses the mic for some mounted punches followed up by his normal mic gimmick where he says his name abrasively. He clocks Bram one last time with it and gets the win.
Winner – Mr. Anderson
Bobby Roode catches Jeff Jarrett backstage and forces him to pay attention. Roode asks him why he was snubbed for consideration in the King of the Mountain Title match last week. Jeff avoids his question on the pretense that he needs to go see Dixie about EC3 defending his title tonight.
Backstage, EC3 begs his “Aunt Dee” to not strip him of the TNA World Championship.
James Storm comes out with Manik and Abyss, bullrope in hand. Storm says, “What we lack in blood, we make up commitment.” He says that he has their loyalty and they have everything their heart desires. Mahabali Shera is called out even though Storm still refers to him as Koya. He says Shera joined the business because he wanted to make a good living for his family, but as Storm says, “Dying ain’t much of a living, boy!” before asking him to re-pledge to The Revolution.
In his broken English, Shera plays to the crowd and even has his music started up to show off how much he likes to dance, much to the chagrin of James Storm…even momentarily getting Manik involved and having fun. Shera is then called a joke by Storm, but he says that he also likes to fight as he punches Storm in the jaw. The numbers game quickly wins as Abyss attacks and promptly Chokeslams Shera to the canvas. Manik is then forced and is a bit hesitant…but ultimately hits his Frog Splash on Shera. Storm then leaves Shera for dead after a shot with his bullrope to the face.
Backstage, we see Gail Kim and The Dollhouse heading to the ring for their upcoming Steel Cage Handicap Match.
Coming back from commercial, PJ Black is calling out EC3 backstage. Eric Young crazily interrupts him and calls him a thief for taking “his” title, going on to say that it’s his time to take what is rightfully his. I personally wouldn’t be surprised to see Eric Young as the culprit for these attacks and that he pleads “insanity” in the end.
Gail Kim vs. Marti Belle & Jade in a “2-on-1” handicap match
Gail avoids both opponents well with rolls in the early going. Jade catches up to her eventually and mounts her with a blatant choke. A poor man’s version of the Total Elimination ala The Eliminators from ECW is hit by The Dollhouse. Marti hits a Corner Cannonball for a two-count. The Dollhouse is in total control of the match and tries to escape the cage for the win. Kim miraculously is able to scale the cage and bring both of them down, especially with a Hurricanrana off the cage to Jade. Double-Arm Choke from Jade as she tours Gail around the cage, slamming her into all six sides. The Dollhouse goes to escape again, but Kim thwarts them again by hitting a Moonsault after knocking them down from climbing.
Some forearms to both of her opponents followed by a nice double team Bulldog/Hurricanrana combo on The Dollhouse. Double Suplex by The Dollhouse turned into a Double DDT by Gail and this is just getting out of control. Gail listens to the fans and decides that she is not finished with them even though they seem spent. She traps them both between the cage and ropes before beginning to hit a pair of Stinger Splashes on them both. A team flub happens as Marti jumps at Gail from the top rope and takes out her partner. Gail sets up Marti for the Eat Defeat and gets the win!
Winner – Gail Kim
Backstage, “Aunt Dee” sides with Jeff Jarrett and is forcing EC3 to defend his title tonight or be stripped.
Matt Hardy is seen backstage trying to challenge EC3 again. Tyrus gets in his face and says if he has a problem with Ethan, he has a problem with Tyrus. Matt says that he is a problem solver, so it’s time he fights Tyrus.
Drew Galloway vs. Eli Drake
Eli gets a short but sweet promo on Drew Galloway in before Drew makes his entrance. Eli attacks Drew during his entrance, before he can even get his ring jacket off. Galloway recovers and clotheslines Eli over the top. Drake gets a bit of offense in when Drew whiffs a chair shot into the post and a fan-assisted jumping splash attempt from the barricade. Big Body Slam from Eli for a two-count before he tosses Drew outside. Eli remains on the apron and hits an awkward clothesline off of it, but he seemed to have hit Drew with his fist instead. Drew returns from an Irish Whip in the ring with a clothesline and a few punches in the corner.
The Scot gets crotch’ed in the ropes as he tries to return with chair in hand. Drew is able to regain control of the match and calls for his Sick Kick-like finisher (eat your heart out Roderick Strong!) and goes to introduce a table into the match. Baseball Slide by Eli into the table takes Drew right out. Drake misses with a crutch to Drew, but not with a low blow! This time the crutch connects with Drew’s spine. The table is set up in the corner as Eli goes out and grabs another table to put up in the middle of the ring. He goes to the top rope after laying Drew on the table, but gets a dropkick from Galloway for his troubles. Drew then sets up for and NAILS an Air Raid Siren (better known as White Noise by Sheamus in WWE) through the table off the middle rope! Galloway gets the win.
Winner – Drew Galloway
Backstage, Velvet Sky catches Taryn Terrell and threatens that Gail Kim is looking for and will eventually find her. Josh Matthews alludes to Taryn being in a “house of horrors” instead of her normal “dollhouse”. She even backs Taryn into Gail Kim herself, who handcuffs Taryn to something bolted to the floor and Velvet backs the cameraman out of view.
Eric Young comes down to the ring and he claims he should be in the Main Event tonight, “and everybody knows it!” He claims to be the most dangerous man in TNA and best wrestler in the world because he is responsible for what happened to Kurt Angle. Chris Melendez interrupts the Crazy Canadian and asks for another rematch regardless of the fact that Eric Young has repeatedly defeated him.
EY says he has nothing to prove to Melendez and tells him to leave, but soon changes his mind and says that Melendez actually does have something he wants. He says that if Chris puts his leg on the line, EY will grant him the rematch. A little skirmish ensues and Sarge comes out on top over TNA’s self-proclaimed “Big Game Hunter”, Eric Young.
Matt Hardy vs. Tyrus
Tyrus absorbs a few Hardy punches as the bell rings, but has his own bell rung by a Jawbreaker from Matt. He slams Matt down with authority (trademark Gorilla Monsoon 1987) and hits a Yokozuna-like splash on Hardy. He goes outside and gouges at Matt’s eyes, but misses a splash attempt to sandwich Matt between himself and the steel post. Big time “Shi-Plex” by The Man Dinosaur (as The Pope refers to him) that leads into two Twists of Fate back-to-back for the abrupt and decisive Matt Hardy victory.
Winner – Matt Hardy
EC3 blindsides Matt from behind as he celebrates and takes him out with the title. He challenges Jeff Jarrett to, “Send out your best so I can sacrifice them on my Altar of Perfection.”
PJ Black vs. TNA world heavyweight champion Ethan Carter III
EC3 seems overwhelmed by PJ Black as he is attacking the champ from all angles and flying all over the place. Carter slows him down and starts to get the match back to his pace with some knife-edge chops in the corner followed by a High Angle Back Body Drop, and finally a Rear Chinlock. PJ turns up the speed a few notches with several versions of splashes in the corner and from the top rope. Black takes a bit too much time getting to the top rope for his signature 450 Splash and EC3 is able to hit a Superplex for a close two-count.
Impressive Short Arm Reverse Elbow from Black leads into a Moonsault off the top for a two-count of his own. He misses another Springboard Moonsault and takes a Powerbomb out of a School Boy for a pair of two-counts for the champ. Ethan calls for the 1% (better known as Dirty Deeds or The Headlock Driver by Dean Ambrose), but falls victim to a Sit-down Powerbomb from Black that almost secures Black as a double champion! They trade forearms and kicks until PJ gets the advantage. He nails a Springboard 450 Splash and EC3 miraculously kicks out! Carter is able to stop a 2nd attempt and get the win with the 1%’er, successfully defending his title cleanly.
Winner – Ethan Carter III
Backstage, Jeff Jarrett is still talking to Dixie. He proposes to Dixie that he run Impact Wrestling every week. Dixie seems reluctant, but confident that he could do it. She says she needs a week to make it happen. Next week is advertised with all three TNA Championships being defended.
TNA IMPACT Wrestling Location: Orlando, FL Date: August 12, 2015 Commentators: Josh Matthews and Taz
Tonight is the special GFW vs. TNA episode of Impact Wrestling! With Jeff Jarrett in charge, things will get very interesting very quickly. Double J kicks off the show and the King of the Mountain Championship draped over his shoulder while commentators Josh Matthews and The Pope speculate as to who took out Bully Ray last week.
Jarrett thanks everyone for his recent involvement in TNA again. Jarrett blatantly says, “we are going to start a new rivalry” as he lays out the card for the night. Eric Young suddenly crashes the party with a scowl on his face and business on his mind. Eric speaks as crazy as he looks while he compares himself to God, saying that if Jarrett is the King of the Mountain, then he is the King of the World. Young then challenges Jarrett to a match for his King of the Mountain Title. Jeff Jarrett then announces the first ever King of the Mountain Match for its namesake title. Once Eric Young accepts being allowed into the match, he attacks Jeff Jarrett…which prompts the GFW roster to come out and defend their leader. The TNA cavalry comes in and saves Eric Young while a skirmish ensues!
We return from commercial to see Jeff Jarrett giving a pep talk to his GFW wrestlers and the idea of respect is debated between Josh Matthews and The Pope.
Awesome Kong vs. Lei’D Tapa
The two imposing women circle each other and lock-up. Neither budge. They trade shoulder blocks. Neither budge again. The niece of the Barbarian, Tapa, is the first to dizzy Kong with a straight punch to the face. Kong gains control of the match as it moves along, getting the first two-count. A short-arm forearm and a big boot brings Awesome Kong to the mat. Kong recovers and clocks Tapa with a set of clotheslines before hitting a painful looking splash for a close two-count. Kong telegraphs a splash in the corner, then Tapa does the unthinkable and picks up Kong on her shoulders, dropping her with an impressive Samoan Drop for a very close two-count! Miraculously, Kong recovers and is able to nail a Chokeslam on here now much more formidable opponent (compared to her TNA Gut Check days). The bout spills outside and Tapa gets the advantage. The two lady behemoths brawl up the rampway, which results in a Double Count Out for the match. This feud is FAR from over, no doubt about it!
Winner – No Contest
PJ Black (formerly Justin Gabriel) is seen relaxing backstage, putting over his daredevil gimmick that WWE apparently never got behind.
Drew Galloway is caught backstage as he guarantees he will be ‘getting the job done’ for TNA because he believes (pay) him.
Bobby Roode is in the ring now with a microphone in his hand, doing what he is best at: complaining. He campaigns to be in the main event King of the Mountain match for the KOTM title. Roode then moves along to Rockstar Spud, the man that ended his Dirty Heels tag team partner, Austin Aries’ TNA career the previous week’s episode. Spud obliges and makes his way to the ring as Roode puts over the fact that he beat the great Austin Aries, but in a back-handed type statement. Rockstar Spud refutes what Roode says, telling Roode that he is living his dream out regardless of what has happened or what will happen while comparing Bobby to a regular, run-of-the-mill schoolyard bully that he will stand up to and defeat.
Roode seems to agree as he repeats Spud’s recent accomplishments like his X-Division Title reign. Bobby Roode then says that his aggression cannot be stopped and that Spud is the last person to stop him. Spud surprisingly cheap shots Roode and gets pummeled in the middle of the ring and even chokes Spud with his own blazer for some extra humiliation. He adds injury to insult with a Roode Bomb on Spud before unceremoniously dumping the Englishman outside and tossing him hard into the steel steps. Roode mercilessly does not let up and forces the referees to separate them as the holds in a nasty looking Crossface!
Jessie Godderz vs. Lashley
We are told by The Pope and Josh Matthews that this bout has main event implications as the winner will be in the King of the Mountain match later in the show. Lashley doesn’t take Godderz seriously before just manhandling him with an extended Military Press. Godderz tries to gain control on the outside now, but fails miserably by getting his face smashed into the apron several times! Back in the ring, Lashley continues to dominate with a shoulder block in the corner and a Stalling Suplex. He misses a second shoulder block in the corner, chases Godderz around, and gets a flap jack across the top rope. Godderz starts to get a taste of control with some wild stomping and an awkward looking waistlock. Lashley is able to fight up and Gutwrench Mr. PEC-tacular for a big Powerbomb. Lashley follows up with a German Suplex > Over-Head Belly-to-Belly. Big shoulder block in the corner and what looks like a reverse Shock Treatment that leads into a surprising Powerslam from Jessie. He plays to the crowd before going for a submission move of some sort, but Lashley uses his leg strength to kick free and land a HUGE Spear for the win!
Winner – Lashley
A flashback to the very solid Full Metal Mayhem main event TNA Title match between Matt Hardy and EC3 is shown before commercial.
Drew Galloway is seen laid out backstage, very similarly to Bully Ray from last week. He is unresponsive when TNA Officials come to check on him.
Out comes TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Ethan Carter III his bodyguard Tyrus (who has some hysterical tights that say, “Glorious Unicorn is SWOLL”). EC3 explains that his title represents his life’s work but more importantly he taunts the fans by saying it makes him better than, “YOU…AND YOU….AND YOU”. EC3 then makes fun of Matt Hardy for losing all that he has recently worked for and goes on to say that he will be champion forever.
Matt Hardy interrupts EC3, limping his way down the rampway and into the ring, much to the chagrin of Ethan Carter III. Matt Hardy says that EC3 will remain in his sights as long as he is champion of TNA and that one day his dream of being TNA World Heavyweight Champion will become a reality. He says that he will not stop, he will not quit and that is because Matt Hardy will…not…die! Ethan then blows the crowd away with his gratefulness by saying he has never been hit harder than by Matt Hardy with that spectacular Leg Drop through a table on the outside. He then ultimately denies Matt another shot at the title, and then Tyrus catches him across the jaw with a rough cheap shot. EC3 the cracks the TNA Title over Matt’s head as Tyrus holds Hardy’s arms back. The champ then raises his title above his head and exits the ring to a chorus of boos.
The Wolves defend TNA as they face the GFW team of Trevor Lee and Brian Meyers (formerly Curt Hawkins) in the next match!
The Dollhouse is seen backstage as Taryn Terrell asks her teammates to end Gail Kim forever in a Handicap Steel Cage Match.
The Wolves vs. Brian Meyers & Trevor Lee
This is the bout I personally am most excited to see. Brian Meyers starts off against Davey Richards of the Wolves. They lock-up, Meyers gets an armbar in but Richards is able to cartwheel out of it and tag in Eddie Edwards. Double Japanese Armdrag by the Wolves on the GFW newbies and Eddie lands a big elbow across the back of Meyers as he tried getting up. The GFW’ers soon gain control of the match and go for a Double Suplex, but are thwarted and hit with a pair of Baseball Slides > Stereo Suicide Dives!
Eddie then rolls in Trevor Lee, but gets caught by a flying knee from Lee as he gets back in the ring. Tag out to Brian Meyers followed by a nice Snapmare. Meyers is very creative running with Eddie as he goes into the ropes, and slides out under the bottom rope while tripping Eddie at the same time! Quick tags are the key in this match as the GFW’ers show good teamwork by doing so. They go for a Double Back Suplex, but miraculously Eddie is able to turn it into a Double Hurricanrana! Edwards goes for a Tajiri-like Springboard Elbow, but Trevor catches him mid-move as a Dead Lift German Suplex lands a close 2-count for Team GFW. The Wolves regain control and are able to create distance between Trevor and Brian so they can set up for their finisher which consists of a Backstabber during the downward motion of a Powerbomb.
Winners – The Wolves
Tigre Uno vs. Sonjay Dutt
The lightweights stall a bit before locking up and Tigre Uno puts in a headlock. The two then really go back-and-forth dodging each other for a solid 20 seconds before Uno nails a perfectly aimed Dropkick. Tigre Uno, the current X-Division Champion owns the match until Sonjay hits a nice Hurricanrana to the outside on Uno followed by one from the apron and again to the outside. Back inside the ring, Dutt springboards off the top rope for a splash but only earns a two-count. Dutt then goes for the humiliation factor by going for Tigre Uno’s mask. As Dutt sets Uno up on the top rope for a Super Hurricanrana, but the champion is able to turn the tide and roll-up Dutt off the top rope for the win!
Winner – Tigre Uno
Jeff Jarrett and EC3 are backstage when Jeff announces to EC3 and the world that he will be defending his TNA World Title next week on Impact against the winner of tonight’s main event bout for the TNA King of the Mountain Title. I guess this is the only way he can get one of his GFW guys a shot at a TNA Title.
Mr. Anderson talks about the importance of the microphone and ponders “just going home & being a dad”, but then says that he is not quite ready to hang up his boots. He then challenges Bram to an Open Mic Match, where the first one to grab a hold of Anderson’s microphone will be able to use it as he pleases.
Robbie E vs. PJ Black vs. Chris Mordetzky vs. Eric Young vs. Lashley
The match is hectic right from the get-go as Lashley gets an early pin as does PJ Black in the first minute of the match, forcing both Eric Young and Chris Mordetzky into the 2-minute penalty box. Lashley then nails an over-the-head German Suplex of sorts and begins dominating the match. Robbie E turns the tables with a dropkick and PJ hits a clothesline off the top rope. They oddly begin working together until they throw Lashley over the top rope. Robbie is able to hit his finish on PJ Black for a pinfall. Lashley then hits Robbie E with a Spear for a pinfall, forcing both PJ Black and Robbie into the penalty box. Perfect timing too, as now Mordetzky and Eric Young come out as the newly pinned wrestlers go in!
This is the first match of the night to have a commercial break in the middle of it. That seems noteworthy as most fans are so conditioned to WWE’s way of doing things, where there may be one match that does NOT have a break in the middle of it.
We return to see Mordetzky pinning Eric Young to qualify for hanging the championship in this “reverse Ladder Match” as my friends have dubbed it. Robbie E starts climbing the penalty box and launches himself off, taking out Mordetzky and Lashley as Chris had a nasty looking Full Nelson on Lashley! PJ Black and Robbie E begin trading chops (maybe PJ was jealous and wanted to do that dive off the penalty box?)
Eric Young bursts out of the penalty box and everyone starts to show some fatigue. Robbie E goes for a suplex on the steel steps, but catches a low blow from the crazy Canuck followed by a Piledriver on the steel steps! Mordetzky now clocks everyone in sight with the KOTM Title and fights his way up a ladder for the first attempt to win the match by anyone. The only other GFW wrestler in the match is the one to stop him in his tracks though, PJ starts scaling the ladder with the coveted championship.
He fails to hang it as Mordetzky catches up to him and they trade some right hands before Bobby Lashley is able to knock down the ladder and deliver mass amounts of Spears to every competitor in sight! Lashley goes to hang the title himself, but “The Bearded Terror” as The Pope refers to him, is able to take Lashley out. EY starts pandering to the crowd as they chant “YOU SUCK!” at him.
Just as he is about to secure the win, Eric Young is joined on the ladder by PJ Black as he launches himself from the corner and onto the ladder in one motion! Lashley then flies out of nowhere as he accurately rocks EY with a Top Rope Spear. PJ Black then is able to hit a very impressive 450 Splash off the ladder and onto Bobby Lashley! PJ takes advantage of the situation and is able to re-climb the ladder for his third try at winning only to…SUCCEED! PJ Black becomes the 2nd ever TNA King of the Mountain Champion.
Winner – PJ Black
EC3 makes his way out to the ring and simply holds his title above his head, signifying he is ready for the challenge of PJ Black next week at TNA Turning Point!!

The July 18, 2013 Edition of TNA iMPACT! It will be taped on July 18, 2013 in the Broadbent Arena in Louisville, Kentucky, This episode of iMPACT will feature Destination X and will display the X-Division.
Background Destination X will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and that culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. On January 11, 2013, TNA announced that there will only be four PPVs in 2013, dropping Destination X as a PPV. However during Slammiversary XI on June 2, 2013, after the Ultimate X Match where Chris Sabin was victorious in winning the X Division Championship, TNA general manager Hulk Hogan announced that just like in 2012, the reigning X Division champion would have the option to voluntarily vacate the title in exchange for a World Heavyweight Championship match at the 2013 Destination X event, which would now be a special episode of TNA's primary weekly television program Impact Wrestling.
Sabin was noncommital as to whether he was going to cash in for the World Heavyweight title shot. On the June 27 edition of Impact Wrestling, Sabin lost the title in a 3 way match (also involving Kenny King) to Suicide. Hogan then came out and announced that the real Suicide (T.J. Perkins) had been knocked out backstage and that the Suicide in the ring was an imposter. Hogan then gave Suicide until the end of the night to either unmask or be stripped of the championship. Suicide then unmasked, revealing himself to be Austin Aries. Aries confessed to being the person who jumped T.J. Perkins, and as he was the one who came up with the idea of the X Division Champion having the yearly right to exchange the X title for a match for the World title, and the one who cashed in and won last year, Aries announced that he would be challenging Bully Ray for the World Championship.
At the June 29 tapings in Las Vegas, Nevada, Hulk Hogan announced a triple-threat match for the X Division Championship also involving Chris Sabin and T.J. Perkins (now going by Manik), which was won by Sabin (will air July 4). In the portion of the tapings to air on July 11, Sabin then voluntarily vacated the title in exchange for a match to wrestle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Destination X against champion Bully Ray on July 18.
