Impact Wrestling - Airing on May 15, 2015 (Partial)

Mike Tenay came out for commentary with Josh Mathews after the “live” portion concluded.

Match 1) Robbie E defeated Jessie Godderz. Robbie slammed Jessie down and rolled him up within less than ten seconds. Jessie took a mic and asked for the match to be restarted. Robbie agreed.

Jessie got in slight offense before Robbie E quickly rolled him up with La Magistral. Jessie once again took a mic and said he wasn’t ready. Jessie asked for another restart. Robbie agreed.

The crowd started counting the time but the match went a bit longer. For a third time, Robbie E defeated Jessie with a Crucifix Pin.

Jessie freaked out and said he was tired of this and nailed Robbie in the face with the mic. He hit a lariat after. Jessie dumped the referee out. He then military pressed Robbie from inside the ring to the floor. Jessie grabbed a chair and wrapped it around Robbie’s head before running him into the post. DJ Z came to the ramp as Jessie was leaving and got in his face before he and security attended to Robbie E.

Match 2) In the first match in the best of five series, The Wolves defeated The Dirty Heels when Davey won with a roll up on Roode when Aries/Roode went for their IED/Spinebuster combination.

Jeremy Borash at this point told the audience about how we saw Velvet and Ray return tonight and advertised another main event star to show up later tonight.

EC3 & Tyrus came to the ring, EC3 suited up. EC3 runs down the top five list and how he defeated Anderson in his own match, the guy who was number one, and he is somehow not number one. He wants answers. Cue Mr. Anderson who came to the ring with a chair in hand. Anderson said how EC3 did not do anything last week. Anderson said he wants to fight someone tonight. EC3 says they are done here and go to leave. Anderson said he already got it cleared. Tonight he wrestles Tyrus. If he beats Tyrus, he gets EC3 one on one next week. EC3 says no. Anderson asks Tyrus if he is always going to be his little bitch. “That’s a huge bitch, but a bitch nonetheless.” Tyrus asks for a referee and charges Anderson.

Match 3) Mr. Anderson defeated Tyrus. EC3 got ejected from the match. Anderson pinned Tyrus with a Mic Check.

After, Anderson did his schtick and announced himself as the winner.

Magnus came to the ring and took a mic. He said he will never apologize for smashing James Storm in the head with guitar. Everyone on the roster knows that James Storm is full of crap. He is dressed to compete and asks James Storm to come out. Instead, Abyss comes to the ramp with a mic in hand. Abyss said last week, Magnus assaulted his leader. Tonight, he is going to pay the consequences and the consequence is Abyss. The two started brawling on the floor. Manik came to the ring but Magnus suplexed him. Khoya came out with the Revolution cane and hit Magnus with it. He, Abyss, and Manik posed over Magnus.

The following segment will be the start of next week’s Impact according to Borash to the crowd.

Kurt Angle came to the ring with Chris Melendez. Angle commended Chris Melendez as his back up after EY went for his own back up and if backfired. Angle said he wrestled in the Olympics for his country, but Melendez was willing to die for this country and gave up his body for his country. He is what children should aspire to be. He asked Melendez to team up with him tonight then asked The Rising to come out. Angle called them a breath of fresh air to this company because they stand up for what they believe in. Angle said the BDC is a cancer to the company but because of The Rising he is able to defend the title as champion and for that he thanks them. Drew said they don’t have to thank him, he is Kurt Angle. Drew said the three of them are not just The Rising. Everyone willing to fight for the sport of pro wrestling is a member. Drew calls Angle the best in the world. Drew said there will come a day when they go one-on-one for the title. Drew wants to be the best in the world and when the time comes he will take that title. Angle mentions that he doesn't back away from a challenge and he is not about to now.

Eric Young comes to the ramp and said it took him weeks to get his shot. He earned it with the deck stacked against him with Ray, Melendez, and The Rising. Eric says he was screwed. Eric says he is still the number one contender. He is the best and deserves to be champion. Angle said he tried to help him but EY decided to go with the BDC. He went for help from cancer and got nipped in the ass. Eric said that’s how Kurt sees it but Eric says Kurt is afraid that he can’t beat Eric one-on-one. Eric says he will never quit and he will never go away. Angle says he deserves a rematch but it is going to be under his terms. He says it will be an I Quit Match one on one with no interference. That is for another night and tonight it is about Hardcore War. The BDC run through the crowd and jump everyone in the ring. Lashley’s music hits and he makes it to the ring to hit a Spear on Eric Young. Angle takes a mic and says to meet the last member of his team: Lashley.

Impact Wrestling (May 29, 2015)

There was no announce table. They have the six sides of steel set up to start the show. There are also balloons ready to be dropped on the ceiling.

Match 1) In a Six Sides of Steel Match for the Knockouts Championship, Taryn Terrell w/The Dollhouse defeated Gail Kim with the Ace Crusher. Jade and Marti Bell got involved when Gail tried to climb out.

After they attacked Gail and locked the cage door until Awesome Kong’s music hit and she came to the ring. Kong tried to break the lock by hitting it with a chair but to no avail. Taryn took a mic and said to Gail that she told her that she was nothing. Taryn attacked Gail’s hand until security had to come stop her.

Mickie James came to the ring. She said she agreed to come back for one more match. She holds to have one of the best matches of her career. She says Magnus is not just her fiancée he is her best friend, the father of her child, and the love of her life. She said James Storm is a dear friend and said this is tough because she has to balance it between her friends and her heart. James Storm came to the ring. She wanted to apologize over what happened with the guitar. Storm said she doesn’t have to apologize and Magnus felt like he was doing the right thing. Storm said it is more about him being jealous of their friendship.

Mickie said Storm has been in the business just as long if not longer and asked how many times he has been burned. She said Magnus is just trying to protect him. Storm said he saved them from Bram and he likes to hold doors for women and if that makes him a bad guy than he is one. He bought Mickie that car, Donovan a blanket, and Magnus a gladiator helmet from when he first started. Storm said he has an important meeting with some important people and mentioned some musicians and how they want to get in touch with her in Nashville and he wants her to go that route. He once again said some decisions that if they are tough to be made should not be made and he supports her. He goes to leave. Mickie said tell them she will see them in Nashville.

Match 2) In an X-Division Gauntlet Match for the X-Division Championship Rockstar Spud won to become a two time X-Division Champion.

- Two men begin and enter every 90 seconds. Over the top rope eliminations until the final two have to win by pin or submission.

Order of entry: Manik, Rockstar Spud, DJ Z, Mandrews, Argos, Crazzy Steve, Tigre Uno, Kenny King

- Argos did a springboard headscissors takeover and looked like he landed poorly on the back of his neck. He also took a hip toss into the turnbuckle from Steve and landed on the back of his head. He still worked through the match but looked uncomfortable. When if came down to Kenny and Spud, Spud reversed the Royal Flush into a Small Package for the win.

In a segment that may have been for May 15th, Angelina Love came to the ring and insulted Velvet. She talked about how Velvet attacked her “last week” (May 8th?) and she has her own friends now: a security team. Velvet was on the guardrail near the entrance. Angelina reminded her that she got fired. She told Velvet to try hitting her and that security would throw her out like the piece of trash that she is. Angelina turned her back and Velvet jumped her. Security held her back but she broke through and attacked. Security had to haul Velvet out and they handcuffed her.

Impact Wrestling (June 5, 2015)

EC3 came to the ring with Tyrus. The “Close Shave Quintet” was in the ring who did a barbershop style rendition of EC3′s theme. EC3 says that he is officially #1 contender. Two women came to the ring with him and held #1 signs. The quintet did a rendition of he’s a jolly good fellow to “he’s the #1 contender” as the balloons fell. He tells Tyrus that he is excited. He encourages Tyrus to dance and asks if the fans want to see that. EC3 says too bad because this is serious business. He has proved the naysayers wrong. He says his mission has been accomplished and the only conquest left is the World Heavyweight Championship. The crowd chanted Anderson and EC3 says he beat him twice.

EC3 invited Angle to the ring who came down. Angle says this is one incredible celebration. He said Verne Gagne and Lou Thesz would roll over in his graves if they saw this. He can’t wait for the day to shut up EC3. The problem is EC3 is not next in line. EC3 reminds him that he is #1. Angle says next week is Destination X and the X-Division Champion gets to put up his shot at the World Title. EC3 says Spud does not deserve that opportunity. He knows Spud and he knows what makes him tick. He and his crew go to leave. He tells the Quintet to say goodbye to Angle for him. They go to sing but Angle Olympic Slams one of them.

Match 3) Lashley defeated Eric Young. Chris Melendez came to the stage before the match ended and attempted to attack Eric after but Lashley stopped him.

Match 4) In match 3 of the best of 5 series, The Dirty Heels defeated The Wolves after a low blow and a chairshot from Roode onto Edwards.

- Edwards kicked out of a Spinebuster/450 combination. Aries slid the chair into the ring and he went for the tag title but the ref got distracted. He encouraged Roode to cheat. Roode hesitated but hit the low blow and hit Edwards with the chair to make the series 1-2 in favor of the Wolves.

Rockstar Spud was in the ring with Jeremy Borash talking about Destination X. Kurt Angle came to the ring and wanted to remind him of who he is and his accomplishments. He said this is his 13th world title and trained harder for these than the previous ones combined. JB asked Spud what his decision was going to be. EC3′s music hits and he and Tyrus came out. EC3 said Spud stands in that ring a two time X Division Champion. He says that is enough to hang his career on. He has done so much in this 14 year journey. He said that Spud is a fish swimming with sharks. EC3 said he is the man who told him to become a champion. They have history together and it did not heal so well, but time heals all wounds except the one he left in Spud’s head. The people endear Spud and love him because he is an underdog, but Angle is the greatest wrestler to ever live until EC3 came along. Angle could snap his ankle and Spud can be on the shelf for many months and eventually fired.

EC3 called Dixie and are willing to offer Spud a lifetime contract as the chief of staff. Just don’t cash in option C and let EC3 fulfill his destiny. He said one in a million and why risk it and encourages Spud to go home. Spud says when he had nowhere to go when he became the chief of staff, he loved it. He loved Dixie and would have done anything for her or EC3. He says EC3 was like a brother to him and then EC3 fired him, slapped him in the face, bloodied his forehead, and shaved his head. He said everything is about EC3. He is a One Percenter and had to work for nothing. Spud fought for 14 years and all EC3 just laughed at people and said he is a self-entitled prick. He tells EC3 to stick the offer straight up his ass. He is cashing in option C, vacating the X-Division Championship, and he will fight Kurt Angle for the world heavyweight title. Spud and Angle shake hands EC3 attempted to jump Spud but he bailed when Angle attempted to save. Angle proposed a tag match for later tonight for Angle and Spud vs EC3 and Tyrus.

Match 5) The Rising (Drew Galloway, Micah, Eli Drake) defeated the BDC (Low Ki, Kenny King, MVP) following a Doomsday Device by Drew and Micah on Low Ki with Drew getting the pin.

Match 6) Brooke defeated Jade w/Marti Bell after botched interference from Marti.

Bram comes out for a match but takes a mic first. He said there is a lot of talk about how the X-Division made history and how it built TNA. Slammiversary is a celebration of the history of TNA. Bram hates history and also hates the past. He is calling out any past TNA star to come out here and fight him. The past, the present, and the future will be re-written by him and asks who has the balls. Crimson’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring.

Match 7) Bram defeated Crimson via Implant DDT.

Match 8) Rockstar Spud & Kurt Angle defeated EC3 & Tyrus when Angle Olympic Slammed Tyrus and Spud got the pin.

After the match, Austin Aries came to the ramp. He admires Spud’s courage and heart. He will use his creation, option C, to earn a shot. However, just like in 2012 at Destination X, he will be the main event as he is cashing in to face the winner of Kurt Angle and Rockstar Spud that same night.

The start of Destination X (June 12, 2015)

Match 9) In a Triple Threat Match, Low Ki defeated Crazzy Steve and Manik following Warrior’s Way on Manik.

Match 10) Tigre Uno defeated DJ Z and Mandrews with a Phoenix Splash on Mandrews. Tigre appeared to knee Mandrews in the head on the way down.

After the match, Jessie Godderz came out and attacked DJ Z in the ring. He elbowed him in the face then picked Z up and powerbombed him into the corner. He then Military Press Slammed Z from in the ring to the floor. Mr. Anderson came out for the save and hit the Mic Check on Jessie. He asked the fans if they had a good time tonight and he said he just did at Jessie’s expense. He had a fan do his intro for him and he left.

Partial 6/12/15 and 6/19/15 Spoilers

Certain matches/segments may not air in the order that they appear due to being taped so far out and it is possible that some matches may air on a different show than predicted. Destination X might be three hours so they may have a lot of segments end up airing on that.

Christy Hemme welcomed the fans to Destination X and said it is time for the world heavyweight title match. EC3 and Tyrus came out and EC3 told Hemme to leave. He said he is the #1 contender for tonight but there are two world title matches tonight and he is not in either. He then asked for a chair and sat in the middle of the ring. He said Destination X has been cancelled. He dares anyone to come stop this sit-in interview. Kurt Angle comes out. Kurt says he is not canceling anything. EC3 threatens to end his career. Angle says to take a shot because if he does he will snap his ankle in two. EC3 and Tyrus leave.

Austin Aries came to the stage and pointed at Kurt while raising his briefcase.

The Dollhouse came to the stage. Taryn said if Kong wants to win this title so badly then they will compete in a lingerie pillow fight tonight. Marti shows the piece of lingerie Kong has to wear otherwise she isn’t getting a title shot.

Match 2) In a Triple Threat X-Division Match, Grado defeated Cruz (Jonathan Cruz under a mask) and Kenny King when Grado did a Rolling Senton into Cruz in the corner.

They set up the Lingerie Pillow Fight. They had a rug, a bed, pillows, and a large light/ornament that was hung at the ceiling.

The Dollhouse came to the ring. Taryn said it is time for the sexiest match of the night. She knows there are exciting matches tonight, but she will get the fans’ blood pumping in a whole new way. If Kong wants to compete she has to get some lingerie. She challenges Kong to come out. Kong comes out in casual attire. Taryn yelled at her for not wearing her lingerie and ruining playtime. Marti tells Kong they got her something really pretty to wear. Jade said it was even in her size. They tell her to go put it in. Kong drags Marti and Jade out of the ring and lays them out. They fight up the ramp. Taryn says she guess the fans don’t get to see her lingerie. She tells Hemme to announce her as the winner of the match. Hemme goes to announce her until Brooke comes out. She says this is a disgrace to the division. Taryn says Kong didn’t follow the rules and tells Hemme to announce her again. Brooke says to stop. She says Taryn promised to defend her title and the fans lingerie. Brooke says that she is out here now and she is no problem fighting her in any match at any time and any place. Taryn says that is so cute but she did not challenge Brooke and since Kong decided no and she has destroyed Gail so she recommends Brooke and tells her to turn around. Brooke says she has one last thing to say and forearms Taryn and they brawl on the bed. Brooke removes Taryn’s robe exposing her lingerie. Taryn grabs a pillow to cover up. Brooke says just like she took her robe, the next thing she takes will be Taryn’s title.

They showed a backstage video with Borash who was supposed to be talking with Bram’s opponent. Joseph Park showed up and said he fell on some hard times. He is not the high powered attorney he used to be. He lost his firm and his spot on the roster. He said this is his big shot to be the guy on top. Borash says he means “top guy.” Park left.

Before the next match, Joseph Park cut a promo in the ring about falling onto his hard times. When he heard what Bram was doing when he heard what he did to his brother Chris, you know, Abyss. He said Bram was tough but he thinks back to the Monster’s Ball with Abyss and remembers he slammed Bram into like five thousand tacks. He says he also slammed Bram into bared wire. Bram gets mad. Joseph said the fans paid to be here, don’t be like that. Bram attacked him.

Match 4) Bram defeated Joseph Park with a spear through a table.

Match 3) For the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Kurt Angle retained over Austin Aries via Ankle Lock with the Grapevine in about 14 minutes.

He attempted an ankle lock of his own at one point but Angle got out of it.

After the match, EC3 attacked Angle and poses with the world title above him.

Impact Wrestling: 6/19/15

James Storm and Magnus had a brawl towards the ring. Apparently Mickie James had turned down an offer from the Revolution.

Match 1) Jessie Godderz defeated DJ Z via Boston Crab.

Jessie cut a promo after about how he waste reason why the Bromans was successful. While Robbie E and DJ Z were off doing their own things, Jessie asked Z what it was like to be a loser. He picked up Z for a military press but Robbie E came through the crowd and attacked Jessie until he bailed from the ring.

Madison Rayne came to the ring. She said she needs to address something tonight. She said it won’t be any more real than what she is about to say. Six years is a long time to commit to anything, but that is how long she has single handedly built the KOs division. She runs down her accomplishments. She says she has been completely forgotten unless you are Gail Kim. She gets nothing here and it makes her sick. She should be the front runner of the division. She should be trending every week. She says she shows up on time and she doesn’t even show up on the make up schedule. This week she is making her own time. What’s more disgusting while she, contracted talent, somebody like Velvet Sky who gets fired from this company just shows up on live TV and gets to do whatever she wants. The worst part is all of these idiots in attendance want to see that behavior as well as the people in the back. But because the cameras are rolling and the lights are on she is sure she will show up for some more camera time. She does a mocking Velvet chant until she comes through the crowd and gets on the ring apron. Rayne said she is a little bit pissed and isn’t hiding behind a security team so come on in. She compliments Velvet on just trying to get her spot back. Madison reminds her where her spot in this company has always been: and slaps her. She says Velvet’s chains and pulling hair doesn’t make her a badass. Velvet spears her and hits a Stunner on her. Angelina shows up with the security and says this could be the easy way or the hard way. Velvet attempts to attack the security but she gets handcuffed. Angelina says this is what happens to trash like her: she gets arrested again and goes to jail again. Velvet is just a fan while Angelina is the star and people like her (Angelina) is so much better than people like her (Velvet.) She slaps Velvet twice and tells the security to take her out. Angelina sings hey hey good bye while Velvet is taken out. Two more security members came out and said Angelina attacked a fan and she was also arrested.

Match 2) Brooke and Awesome Kong defeated Jade and Marti Bell w/Taryn Terrell following an Elbow Drop by Brooke off of Kong’s shoulders on Marti for the pin. Kong and Brooke posed together after.

Mike Tenay came to the ring for the Slammiversary main event contract signing. He said we are 9 days away from Slammiversary and it is time for the official contract signing. He introduces EC3 and Kurt Angle. Tenay says before they make it official he would like to get pre match comments from the champion. EC3 says he will take it from here now. He has been ready for this moment. He calls Kurt the best and references how Angle has beaten the likes Flair, Stone Cold, HHH, The Rock, Jericho, Brock, Edge, Undertaker, Hogan, Joe, AJ, Sting, and Jeff Jarrett (all mentioned in nicknames, not directly by name). They have all been beaten, EC3 has not. EC3 is Angle’s reckoning and calls the title a torch and at Slammiversary, the torch is passed to him. Angle says he has been here before. The big fights were made for Kurt Angle while EC3 is spoiled. EC3 thinks because he is undefeated. Angle says unlike last time they fought, he is healthy now. He is still the greatest wrestler alive. He asks EC3 what happens when he loses. EC3 will have to look at himself and it will haunt him for the rest of his life. He tells him good luck. Tenay says it is official. Tenay says they have both mutually agreed to wrestle on the next two Impacts they will pick their opponents. Angle announces EC3′s opponent as Lashley. EC3 will select his opponent for Angle next week.

Christy Hemme introduced Chris Melendez. Chris explains his problems with Eric Young. He said he has one foot in the grave and is on his last leg but he wants a fight. Eric commends what Chris has done. Eric says he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He tells Chris that he (Eric) is at the top of the mountain while Chris is all the way down at the bottom. Chris wants revenge for what Eric did and Eric understands that. He choked an Olympic Gold Medalist with Chris’s leg. He made it up on the fly. What’s going to happen to Chris when Eric has time to think about it. He asks Chris if this is what he really wants next week to be alone with one leg against a world class maniac next week on Impact. Chris says he has a lot to overcome and he will see Eric here next week.

Before the next match, Davey took a mic. He said from day one whether in Japan, England, or Mexico, he and Eddie have sacrificed their bodies to be the best tag team in the world. The tag titles are what counts as whoever holds them is the best in the world. The Wolves have beaten the Bromans, the Hardys, and Team 3D. There are still some questions that are unanswered in Aries and Roode. When they signed up for this series, they weren’t looking for the easy way out. Aries and Roode lived up to their team name and cheated last time. He said that won’t happen a second time and if they want a war they will get one. Eddie proposes that they do the match right now. Roode come to the stage. Roode asks if he thinks they are calling the shots tonight. Last week, Aries and Angle had a match of the year. Aries is not cleared to be here tonight. They will have match #4 when they decide. The Dirty Heels call the shots, not the Wolves. Eddie says that it looks like Roode is feeling OK and suggests taking on one of them in a singles match. Roode says no, but proposes an idea. Roode says the winner of this singles match tonight gets to name the stipulation for match #4. Davey says he just wants to eat him up, let’s do it. Eddie says this fight is his. If Roode wants to hit Eddie in the chair with a back then take him on right now. Roode agrees and the match is on.

Match 3) Eddie Edwards defeated Bobby Roode via roll up. Roode spat at Davey and Davey jumped on the apron. Austin Aries ran down with a chair and tossed it to Roode. Roode went to hit Edwards but missed. Davey grabbed the chair from Roode and Eddie rolled up Roode. Aries thought Roode had the match won and was surprised when he turned around and Roode lost.

After the match, Davey announced that Match 4 will be a Full Metal Mayhem Match.

Match 4) Ethan Carter III defeated Lashley with the One Percenter. Tyrus got involved multiple times, laying out three referees. Lashley kicked out of a few attempts from Tyrus at helping. Eventually it was too much and EC3 scored the pin.

Xplosion

Match 1) Gunner & Mr. Anderson defeated Khoya & Manik via a Mic Check/Diving Headbutt on Khoya with Gunner getting the pin.

The only match officially confirmed for Slammiversary throughout the tapings was the main event of Kurt Angle vs Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

There's still one more show before Slammiversary, a live show on June 26th.

rovert

Glad they stuck to the looooooonggggg term plan of EC3 vs Angle.

Machismo Fan

Yeah I would've saved it until October, it feels rushed and at the moment EC3 still has no credibility. Tapings look largely unremarkable. Aries title shot is just thrown out there on TV, they still have no idea what they're doing with the X-Division, the booking of Lashley is still terrible, they've turned Austin Aries again, they went through with the terrible idea of breaking up the BroMans and we had a random Grado appearance. At least there'll be Storm and Magnus, and Aries and Roode vs. Wolves.

rovert

On Grado. So this picture is current then:

https://twitter.com/wwebalor/status/598090537447649280

Somewhat shows Balor is kind of bullet proof politically as he feels secure enough to take photos with TNA talent.

LeeJM

Grado seems to have gotten into decent shape or else its a flattering pic
