00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, we in TNA Wrestling are in full support of the people of Minnesota

00:00:06who are recovering from an attack at a school right here in Minneapolis just last week.

00:00:12TNA Wrestling has created a limited edition t-shirt with 100% of the sales

00:00:17from the Strength in Unity Minneapolis shirt being donated.

00:00:21The proceeds will be donated to the Annunciation Catholic School.

00:00:31Also, our partners Brand Marketing Works are donating all their proceeds from the

00:00:36shirt's creation to Annunciation Catholic as well.

00:00:40We send our deepest condolences to those affected by this tragedy.

00:00:59Last week we saw Moose offering his respect to Mike Santana.

00:01:03It was pretty convenient that AJ Francis happened to be on the phone with Trick Williams at the time.

00:01:08It was then that both Moose and Francis got in each other's face setting up this Titanic clash.

00:01:13Mustafa Ali and we're not scheduled to be out here.

00:01:20AJ Francis brought something over to Mustafa Ali here.

00:01:23Ali struck Francis by mistake! Spear!

00:01:28Moose perseveres!

00:01:29I'm about tired of all this nonsense, so how about this?

00:01:34Victory Road! You versus me, one on one!

00:01:39Will it be made official? Could we see Ali versus Moose at Victory Road?

00:01:46Trick Williams once again refusing to appear on TNA Impact this evening, but Mike Santana is ready for action.

00:01:55Is Trick Williams the TNA World Champion?

00:01:58The path to bow for glory is a collision course for Santana and Trick.

00:02:06Myers and Edwards, former TNA World Tag Team Champions, go up against the Nemeth Brothers,

00:02:11also former TNA World Tag Team Champions.

00:02:14Order 4-4 is here!

00:02:19Danger Zone!

00:02:21The Order 4 distraction helps the Nemeth Brothers beat the system.

00:02:25We are invoking and executing a contractually obligated tag team rematch for the title!

00:02:36The Nemeth Brothers, the Hardys, for the TNA World Tag Team Championship on TNA Impact!

00:02:49It is my destiny, it is the truth I see, in this world I'm fighting a way to cross the line.

00:02:58Everybody's doing what everybody's doing, everybody's doing, everybody's doing the same thing.

00:03:03I'll be doing what I'll be doing, I'll be doing my days.

00:03:07From stand-up to the right they sing, I'll be sitting on the way.

00:03:12Doing what I can, doing what I know, what my days have to show.

00:03:17It is my destiny, it is the truth I see.

00:03:21The mood is tense here in TNA Wrestling as the fate of the TNA World Title is once again a major concern.

00:03:28But it's not the only championship under a microscope tonight.

00:03:32Welcome, everyone, to Impact in Minneapolis.

00:03:48The following contest is stepping for one call.

00:03:52Introducing first, a company to the room by our wish-time Eddie Edwards.

00:03:57And Moose, representing the system, Brian Smyers!

00:04:07The bad blood between the system and Order 4 takes a turn at Victory Road.

00:04:13One week from tomorrow, live on TNA Plus in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

00:04:19It'll be Mustafa Ali of Order 4 against Moose on the system at Victory Road.

00:04:26The tensions between Order 4 and the system have been boiling over for weeks at Victory Road.

00:04:33It takes another step.

00:04:35Oh, my God.

00:05:05And his opponents, accompanied to the win by Tasha Steeles and the Great Hands, representing Order 4, Mustafa Ali!

00:05:18Mustafa Ali looking supremely confident as he strives into this singles matchup against Brian Myers.

00:05:24He was very vocal on commentary last week as Moose defeated AJ Francis.

00:05:29Mustafa Ali tried his best to influence that matchup, much like he's influenced the members of Order 4 and many around the world.

00:05:41Unfortunately for Mustafa Ali, in Order 4 it was not to be.

00:05:44Moose ultimately defeating AJ Francis.

00:05:47But as you can see, it seems like this conflict between these two armies is just beginning.

00:05:55Of course, absent from this scene is JDC, who was put on the injury list by Special Agent Zero of Order 4.

00:06:05You can feel the tension in the airway while they worry about our referee being able to control this situation.

00:06:18You saw right there both squads staring each other down on the apron.

00:06:22Had to be literally backed out by their own members, Ali and Brian Myers.

00:06:27Here's this one, kicks right off.

00:06:30So here we go, Myers versus Mustafa Ali to begin the action this evening on TNA Impact.

00:06:36And still to come in our main event, the Hardys will defend the TNA World Tag Team titles against the Nemeth Brothers as the Hardys continue down their path to bow for glory and their battle with Team 3D.

00:06:50Also this evening, Danny Luna goes one-on-one with Indy Hartwell.

00:06:54We'll see the elegance brand in a six-knockouts tag team matchup against Masha Slamovich and the Inspiration, a little preview of Victory Road.

00:07:05Also, we'll see the King's speech with Frankie Kazarian.

00:07:09I understand Kazarian has a special guest in store, so he says.

00:07:15As right now, right here on the floor, things might boil over and explode.

00:07:20Even Alicia Edwards and Tasha Steele, they go for a goal!

00:07:23Oh, and Ali wipes out Myers.

00:07:26The rest of Order 4 took Myers' attention away.

00:07:29The referee separating the system from Ali.

00:07:32If the system touches Ali, it's a loss for Myers.

00:07:38Take another look at this.

00:07:39With everybody distracted on the outside, Ali, like a torpedo, takes out Brian Myers and takes the advantage in this matchup.

00:07:48Back to live action.

00:07:49Off the neckbreaker is the cover and a kickout by Myers.

00:07:52Harrison nearly exploded right there, Ray.

00:07:55Well, as I was saying, still to come this evening, Eric Young, formerly of the Northern Armory, will take on Judas Icarus after Young snapped last week on impact and assaulted Icarus and Travis Williams.

00:08:08And on top of that, Mike Santana will be back in action tonight.

00:08:13He is set to challenge for the TNA World Championship at Bound for Glory.

00:08:17But the fate of the TNA World title is very much in question after the huge winner-takes-all match was announced this past Tuesday night on NXT.

00:08:25All the Femi vs. Trick Williams for the NXT and TNA World Championships is coming Tuesday night on NXT.

00:08:32Mike Santana and so many others of us here at TNA were outspoken about it.

00:08:38Well, right now, we want to focus on the here and now.

00:08:40Ray, well, you can feel how much the system means to Myers.

00:08:43I mean, Brian Myers has found a home here within the system.

00:08:47I mean, he's made lifelong friendships with the likes of Moose and Eddie Edwards.

00:08:52They ran this entire company, essentially, for over a year.

00:08:57John Schuyler created a distraction.

00:08:59It's on top of Ali.

00:09:01Ali just beat Myers.

00:09:04Here is your winner.

00:09:06And Myers is on top of Ali, just like that.

00:09:09What did I tell you?

00:09:12Not even the finish of the match is going to settle this.

00:09:15Look out!

00:09:16One of the great hands driving Myers into the apron.

00:09:20Who's Eddie Edwards?

00:09:21Clearing out the great hands.

00:09:24Absolute chaos!

00:09:25And a low blow by Tasha Steeles.

00:09:30Oh, look out.

00:09:31Oh, look out.

00:09:31The earrings are coming off.

00:09:34Alicia Edwards.

00:09:35Eddie Edwards, wife!

00:09:36A lot of history between these two as well.

00:09:39Oh, no.

00:09:42John Schuyler's got a hold of Alicia.

00:09:44Oh!

00:09:45He thought he did.

00:09:47Oh!

00:09:47And Moose!

00:09:50What's going to contain everybody here?

00:09:53This whole damn thing is about to explode.

00:09:55Oh, wait a minute.

00:09:58Special Agent Zero glaring across the ring at the face of the franchise Moose.

00:10:04Moose and Moose staring back into the void that is Agent Zero.

00:10:11Are we about to see this clash?

00:10:15Oh, here we go!

00:10:17Oh!

00:10:18Stop Ali's.

00:10:19Yeah!

00:10:20Ali's personal weapon of mass destruction.

00:10:23Moose!

00:10:24Moose!

00:10:25Moose!

00:10:25The three-time world champion in Moose.

00:10:34Oh, my God!

00:10:36And a headbutt!

00:10:37Dropped Moose just like that!

00:10:39That's nasty.

00:10:40Now, look.

00:10:41You see in the back of your screen security starting to fill the ring.

00:10:44They don't want this to explode any further.

00:10:46Oh, that Moose got a special agent Zero.

00:10:49I don't know if I've ever seen a straight headbutt like that drop Moose.

00:10:56I'll leave the one in there that has to back off Agent Zero.

00:10:59Order four in the system.

00:11:08A barbaric brawl here on Impact.

00:11:11I told you it was a powder keg.

00:11:15And, oh, finally maybe we'll get some authority imposed here.

00:11:21Guys!

00:11:22Guys!

00:11:22Enough!

00:11:23Hey, enough!

00:11:25I'm sick of this faction warfare.

00:11:28Stop it!

00:11:29I'm going to make it official right now.

00:11:31Bound for glory!

00:11:33Order four versus the system in a match called Hardcore War!

00:11:39Oh, my God!

00:11:41That is an absolutely huge announcement!

00:11:52The path to bow for glory is riddled with faction warfare!

00:11:58It'll be Order four versus the system in Hardcore War!

00:12:04Ladies and gentlemen, this is just the beginning of TNA Impact with victory road looming one week from tomorrow.

00:12:17For more on our main event, let's check in with Gia Miller.

00:12:21Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with the challengers for the TNA World Tag Team Championships tonight.

00:12:31The Nemets.

00:12:32Gentlemen, welcome.

00:12:33Thanks, me and Gia.

00:12:34Tonight's a big night for us.

00:12:35That's right.

00:12:35It's us, okay?

00:12:36The gorgeous, the glorious, the golden-haired, best brothers tag team of all time,

00:12:41and soon-to-be two-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.

00:12:46Well, Nick, how are you two approaching the legendary Hardys tonight?

00:12:50Just like we always do.

00:12:52You can say legends are legendary because they're not legendary, okay?

00:12:55Jeff Hardy paints his face because he can't stand to look in the mirror anymore.

00:12:58Okay, and his brother Matt, Matt Hardy's so broken he should be sponsored by BioFlex,

00:13:03and I love BioFlex, but legends, they're not legends, okay?

00:13:06They're relics, relics, relics!

00:13:07Hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:13:08Calm down a second here.

00:13:10Calm down.

00:13:11Save this for the ring.

00:13:12Now, let's be smart about this.

00:13:14The Hardys are absolute legends.

00:13:16We know this.

00:13:17They've been through it.

00:13:19We've watched it.

00:13:19They can make things happen.

00:13:21But here's what else we know.

00:13:23We never were pinned for our tag team championships,

00:13:26and tonight is not a ladder match.

00:13:28So as great as the Hardys are,

00:13:30they sure as hell ain't the best brother tag team of all time.

00:13:36We'll prove it tonight and become champs one more time.

00:13:39Let's do it.

00:13:40Thanks, Mean Gia.

00:13:47Danny Luna.

00:13:50What do you want?

00:13:52Danny, I'm just here to give you a little piece of advice.

00:13:57See, I'm looking in your eyes, and I can see it.

00:14:00I know what you want.

00:14:02You want an opportunity at the Knockouts World Championship,

00:14:06the most prestigious title in the entire world.

00:14:09But the truth is, there's people in front of you.

00:14:14I mean, Miss Ash has to defend her title at Victory Road against Masa Slamovich,

00:14:19and she's going to beat her and be victorious.

00:14:21Then she's going to move on to Bound for Glory,

00:14:24to take on Indy Hartwell, and beat her as well.

00:14:28Which means there is an opportunity for you anytime soon, that is.

00:14:34What are you getting at?

00:14:35What do you want?

00:14:36I'm seeing.

00:14:37Think about it.

00:14:39Be smart.

00:14:40Tonight, you got a chance at Indy Hartwell.

00:14:43I'm saying, what if you just hurt her a little bit,

00:14:48make her suffer pain.

00:14:51Don't let her show up to Bound for Glory.

00:14:54And maybe an opportunity could come a little bit earlier.

00:15:01Be smart.

00:15:03Rub my back, and I'll take care of you.

00:15:06Just think about it.

00:15:08Be suffering.

00:15:11Well, right now, I want to turn our attention to what happened this past Tuesday night live on NXT.

00:15:21The TNA World Champion, Trick Williams, teamed up with Carmelo Hayes against DIY.

00:15:27Down the stretch in this matchup, The Miz got involved on behalf of Carmelo Hayes.

00:15:31Now, while this was going on, many of TNA's wrestlers and people like myself spoke out on social media.

00:15:38We vented our frustrations regarding this perception that NXT has control over TNA, that NXT stars are somehow superior to TNA athletes.

00:15:48This outrage from us here at TNA went to a new level.

00:15:52That's the Grayson Waller effect.

00:15:54Y'all going to have to hit the pause button on everything you got going on.

00:15:58Because the truth is, Oba, you holding something that still belongs to me.

00:16:02I'm talking about that NXT title.

00:16:05I'm actually going to talk to Ava and Santino.

00:16:08And how about next week on NXT, we do Trick Williams, the TNA champion, one-on-one with the NXT champion, Oba Femi.

00:16:16Title for title.

00:16:18Winner takes all.

00:16:21And then the winner faces Ricky Saints at no mercy.

00:16:26Trick.

00:16:27Next week, I'm going to beat you and take that TNA championship.

00:16:30And then at no mercy, I'm going to successfully defend both titles against you and send you out in disgrace.

00:16:39There are people here in TNA wrestling who are furious about this news, myself included.

00:16:46But it's been made official nonetheless.

00:16:48The NXT champion, Oba Femi.

00:16:50The TNA world champion, Trick Williams.

00:16:53Winner takes all this Tuesday live on NXT.

00:16:57However, remember, take solace in the fact that Mike Santana awaits.

00:17:03Whomever is the TNA world champion at Bound for Glory.

00:17:09May the best man win.

00:17:11He will.

00:17:12Earlier today, here at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we were joined by Big Al and ODB's meet-and-greet food truck.

00:17:23This was started by TNA legend ODB back in 2017.

00:17:28Some of our stars got to catch up with ODB earlier on today.

00:17:31And the rascals got to sample the world-class meats provided by Big Al and ODB's meet-and-greet food truck.

00:17:39We invite you to visit ODB's meet-and-greet.com.

00:17:43Contact them and they'll make an appearance near you.

00:17:46Please welcome TNA legend ODB.

00:17:51The four-time TNA knockouts world champion, the TNA legend ODB is here for TNA Impact in Minneapolis.

00:18:05And maybe she's here to watch her former husband.

00:18:08Now she's got a front row seat and a drink.

00:18:10She's ready to go.

00:18:11And so on Lee.

00:18:13Oh, so happy to see ODB here for Impact.

00:18:16The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:18:25Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Travis Williams.

00:18:30From Vancouver, BC, Canada, Judas Icarus.

00:18:38Judas Icarus out here with a little bit of revenge on his mind.

00:18:43It was Eric Young who turned his back, decided to take his anger, his frustrations out on both members.

00:18:51Former members of the Northern Armory.

00:18:53Tonight, they settle it one-on-one with their former leader.

00:18:57For more time.

00:18:59For more time.

00:19:03And his opponent, from Franklin, Tennessee, the world-class maniac, Eric Young!

00:19:20One of the ironies of this situation is that last week it was supposed to be Joe Hendry versus Eric Young.

00:19:26Eric Young refused the match.

00:19:28Instead, it was Travis Williams who fought Hendry.

00:19:32Icarus going right after Young.

00:19:35It was after the loss by Williams that Young absolutely snapped, delivering multiple pile drivers to Williams and Icarus.

00:19:44Clearly, Eric Young not pleased with the performance of Williams there.

00:19:49Taking it out on everyone.

00:19:50This cleanse that Eric Young has had in mind seemingly is going to have to be done on his own.

00:19:58Eric Young, remember, he infiltrated the Northern Armory.

00:20:03Sent Josh Alexander packing out of this company.

00:20:07He absorbed Icarus and Williams.

00:20:09Took them under his wing.

00:20:11Icarus and Williams at one point in time were known as the tag team.

00:20:14Center and Saint.

00:20:15Look out here, look at the ferocity of Eric Young.

00:20:24A man unhinged.

00:20:26The gut wrench power bomb there delivered to Judas Icarus.

00:20:30If you're Joe Hendry, what do you make of all this?

00:20:33If you're Joe Hendry, you got to look ahead.

00:20:36You can't be focused on what Eric Young is trying to do.

00:20:41You don't try to figure out the plan.

00:20:43That's all it is.

00:20:44You handle the match that's in front of you.

00:20:46And we know that Eric Young wants to take apart Joe Hendry.

00:20:50Follow-up question.

00:20:51How do you handle Eric Young?

00:20:53He's a madman.

00:20:55Pass.

00:20:57On that question, pass.

00:20:59Because I ain't got an answer for you.

00:21:01I've said it before.

00:21:02I'll say it again.

00:21:03I will not even venture to guess what's truly going on in the mind of Eric Young, especially lately.

00:21:09And the referee's got to be careful who was trying to control Eric Young.

00:21:12Young nearly went after the ref.

00:21:14We've seen Eric Young attack crew members.

00:21:17We've seen him attack security, attack fans at ringside.

00:21:21Anthem Sports and Entertainment had to step in legally on that one.

00:21:25Been an absolute nutcase the last couple of months.

00:21:29Up onto the shoulders.

00:21:30Just think about the Death Valley driver, Judas Icarus, able to survive for just a moment.

00:21:34Could have been time, however, going for the pile driver, Icarus.

00:21:39Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:21:41Oh, my God.

00:21:41Look at the strength.

00:21:43Almost.

00:21:44There it is.

00:21:45I was going to say, wasn't sure if he had it, but there it is.

00:21:48Incredible strength shown by Judas Icarus.

00:21:51The back body drop.

00:21:53Great recovery from Icarus.

00:21:55Off the rebound.

00:21:56Clothesline at a back elbow.

00:22:00Icarus has got plenty of nastiness.

00:22:02He's not backing down at all from Eric Young.

00:22:05Off the bit of a reputation for being that loose cannon himself in the Northern Armory.

00:22:09Now taking all that on.

00:22:11Taking all that out on his former leader.

00:22:15Young able to stay alive on his feet.

00:22:17Oh, he touched for a moment.

00:22:19Icarus took him off his feet.

00:22:21Diving through the ropes.

00:22:22Tripping up EY on the top rope.

00:22:24Beautifully done by Icarus there.

00:22:27Now Icarus has got Young down.

00:22:29Can Icarus close out this matchup?

00:22:31This will be a monumental upset.

00:22:34Frog splash.

00:22:35Huge.

00:22:36Can he beat the two-time world champion?

00:22:38And a kick out by Young.

00:22:44Take another look at this.

00:22:46Icarus diving through the ropes.

00:22:47Tripping up EY.

00:22:48And then following up with this huge frog splash.

00:22:53And now Icarus looks like he's thinking here.

00:22:57Trying to trap the left arm.

00:22:59Look at this.

00:22:59Drawing down Young.

00:23:01Is this enough?

00:23:02Young kicked out at two.

00:23:05Great wherewithal from Icarus.

00:23:07They're countering into that powerbomb situation.

00:23:10His long-time friend and tag team partner Travis Williams supporting him on the outside.

00:23:16I'd say both these men were manipulated and warped by Eric Young when they were within the Northern Armory.

00:23:24I mean sometimes when you're trying to find your place in a new world like TNA Wrestling,

00:23:30you look to whatever leader you can to bring you to that mountaintop.

00:23:33They thought Eric Young with all his experience.

00:23:35I can't blame him.

00:23:36Oh, and Young biting Icarus.

00:23:39And now that choice is literally biting them in the ass.

00:23:44Oh, low drop by Young.

00:23:46One, two, three.

00:23:49Oh, Icarus is still in this thing.

00:23:52Hanging out by a thread.

00:23:542.999.

00:23:58And Young, careful, careful.

00:24:00Young threatening our official.

00:24:02Young's gotten in so much trouble with his company recently.

00:24:05Oh, and the low blow.

00:24:08Young blocked the referee's vision.

00:24:12And this, this could be it.

00:24:15In a second.

00:24:21Joe Hendry is here.

00:24:23And nobody said his name.

00:24:26Joe Hendry has appeared.

00:24:29And there was a smile across Eric Young's face.

00:24:32I believe.

00:24:35Young's down the hole.

00:24:41Through Hendry.

00:24:43And it turns focus back to the ring.

00:24:45And wait, look out.

00:24:46Oh, what a tournament is fair play.

00:24:49Icarus pinned Young.

00:24:51Here is your winner,

00:24:54Judas Icarus.

00:24:57Icarus just pinned a...

00:25:01I'm feeling pretty crowded in here.

00:25:15I would be the middle one contender

00:25:18for the X Division Championship right now.

00:25:20But you pulled me out of the ring.

00:25:22I didn't do anything that you didn't do right back to me.

00:25:25I did.

00:25:25UFO cutter.

00:25:27Boom.

00:25:27Made the cover.

00:25:29Bam.

00:25:29One.

00:25:30Two.

00:25:31Pull the leg.

00:25:32By my own flesh and blood.

00:25:34The last time I checked,

00:25:35this was everyone for themselves.

00:25:37I needed to win just as much as Myra needed to win

00:25:39and just as much as you.

00:25:40You pulled me out,

00:25:41so I pulled you out.

00:25:42And then we don't pull out,

00:25:43but then I pull you out.

00:25:45I never pull out.

00:25:47Well, I mean,

00:25:47if you guys wasn't playing tickle,

00:25:49but it might have been a different result.

00:25:51But the young goat had to capitalize.

00:25:54And now I'm the number one contender

00:25:55for the X Division Championship.

00:25:57He's kind of like,

00:25:59you know,

00:26:01it is pretty sick that baby bro

00:26:03won the number one contendership

00:26:04for the X Division Championship.

00:26:07He has a chance of being a champion.

00:26:09We were a champion.

00:26:10You know,

00:26:11I Wumbo,

00:26:12you Wumbo,

00:26:13he see we

00:26:20How about this?

00:26:22You guys, like,

00:26:23thinking what I'm thinking?

00:26:25You want to celebrate?

00:26:26That's the only thing

00:26:27that's left to do, baby.

00:26:28We got a winner on the board.

00:26:37Guys,

00:26:38I kind of just thought of something.

00:26:41You know how, like,

00:26:41we get along really well as a team?

00:26:44I think we kind of made

00:26:46sick opponents, man.

00:26:47That was kind of fire,

00:26:48if you ask me.

00:26:51It was like,

00:26:52I swung at Myron,

00:26:58and then he went like,

00:26:59and it got me right in the side of the face, bro.

00:27:02What's that about?

00:27:03It was like,

00:27:04barrel turn,

00:27:06and

00:27:06and then you hit me with the,

00:27:09and then I hit him with the,

00:27:10and then it was like,

00:27:12everybody down.

00:27:13Then I hit the 450,

00:27:14and then when,

00:27:15bam,

00:27:15thank you, ma'am.

00:27:16I mean,

00:27:17that's it.

00:27:18Fighting each other is actually pretty fine.

00:27:21We have good chemistry.

00:27:23It's a thing.

00:27:23We should do this more often.

00:27:25Yeah.

00:27:26I mean,

00:27:26we're three of the best in the world.

00:27:28I like fighting my brothers, too.

00:27:30It's a lot here.

00:27:33It's a cup.

00:27:37You're cute.

00:27:38You're sad.

00:27:38It's like body odor and coffee.

00:27:41The rascals facing each other in the spirit of competition.

00:27:45I can get behind.

00:27:47I can get behind that.

00:27:52I pass on those cheeses there.

00:27:58It's a carrot.

00:28:00It's a carrot.

00:28:06Of course,

00:28:07the tag team titles on the line in the main event,

00:28:10but right now,

00:28:10it is time for some knockout tag team action.

00:28:15The following is a six women tag team match scheduled for one call.

00:28:21Introducing first,

00:28:22the team of Jesse McKay and Cassie Lee,

00:28:26the Inspire!

00:28:29Speaking of tag team titles being on the line one week from tomorrow live on TNA Plus in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

00:28:38The elegance brand will defend the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship against the Inspiration at Victory Road.

00:28:46I take it you'll keep these two harpies at bay tonight?

00:28:50Harpies?

00:28:51Should I come over here?

00:28:52Should I come over here?

00:28:52And they're going to bite me?

00:28:53They're going to bully me?

00:28:54You deserve it!

00:28:55That's ridiculous.

00:28:56I've never deserved anything in my entire life.

00:28:59Cassie Lee and Jesse McKay ready for six knockouts tag team action here in Minneapolis.

00:29:05And their tag team partner from Moscow, Russia, Masha Slamovich!

00:29:28Also at Victory Road, Masha Slamovich has been granted another shot at the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

00:29:39She will challenge Ash by elegance for the title live at Victory Road.

00:29:44Man, don't get me started on that one.

00:29:47After everything that's happened this summer, jumping back to the front of the line.

00:29:51Oh my goodness.

00:29:52Listen, Ash and Masha, why don't you shut up, sweetheart?

00:29:56You shut up, Tyler, and listen.

00:30:00I'm the personal concierge, and all of you in the ring are a bunch of animals.

00:30:06You destroyed a perfectly good painting that I had commissioned by the cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, personal neighbor, Picasso.

00:30:16Also, you also didn't allow us to finish our toast of our beautiful new champagne, elegance in a bottle.

00:30:26So tonight when we're victorious, we're going to have that toast.

00:30:28So all you degenerate losers, stand up and show some respect for the greatest female fashion in the history of professional wrestling.

00:30:41Welcome, Ash, Heather, and M, the elegance brand.

00:30:49You heard him, Tom.

00:30:51Stand up.

00:30:52Stand up.

00:30:53On your feet.

00:30:54I think I'm good.

00:30:55You're not good at anything, but what you should be good at is praising and appreciating everything this brand brings to this brand of T&A.

00:31:07And that's elegance, poise, beauty, talent, financial security, advice, inspiration, more so than those in the ring, power, aviation, cleanliness, hygiene, confidence.

00:31:24Listen, I was going to say some nice things about the elegance brand.

00:31:28They are now the longest reigning female only knockout world tag team champion in the history of T&A wrestling.

00:31:37The overall record, regardless of gender, belongs to Eric Young, who we saw earlier on tonight, and ODP, who we saw earlier on tonight.

00:31:45So that record may never be broken, but the female only record belongs to the elegance brand.

00:31:50And never say never, the elegance brand could break that record.

00:31:55Who's going to stop them?

00:31:56Who's going to beat them?

00:31:57Now, I mentioned Masha Slamovich will be challenging Ash by Elegance for the Knockouts World Championship at Victory Road one week from tomorrow, live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

00:32:07But leading at Bound for Glory, Sunday, October 12th, live on Pay-Per-View and T&A Plus in Lowell, Massachusetts, is the number one contender.

00:32:18Indy Hartwell will challenge whomever is the Knockouts World Champion at our biggest event of the year, Bound for Glory.

00:32:26That's the kind of champion Ash by Elegance is in demand, just like the Elegance brand as a whole.

00:32:33Look at that perfectly coordinated gear.

00:32:35Look at the other side of the ring.

00:32:36They can't even match gear.

00:32:38How hard is it?

00:32:39What are you talking about?

00:32:40The inspiration of purple shirts?

00:32:42Masha's wearing purple?

00:32:43Yeah, but the gear is black and white.

00:32:44Masha's in purple.

00:32:45This is a fashion abomination.

00:32:46That's because you're a colorblind like a dog.

00:32:48I will protect this.

00:32:49Dogs, here comes the personal concierge, the chihuahua for the Elegance brand.

00:32:54I will make sure Tom doesn't touch this.

00:32:55Yeah, well, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't.

00:32:58You're such a stooge, you know that?

00:33:00You don't know the meaning of the term, stooge.

00:33:03Set a chance to look it up.

00:33:04ODB and Eric Young's record is 469 days.

00:33:08It's a decent little record.

00:33:09And I'm sure the Elegance will have a great chance at beating, just like they'll win this match and beat Masha Slamovich and the inspiration.

00:33:18Here and now, this is Masha Slamovich to start things off against Heather by Elegance.

00:33:24Masha ragdolling Heather.

00:33:26Masha's still fuming.

00:33:27There's the cover.

00:33:29And a kick out at two.

00:33:30Masha's still fuming from WWE Heatway.

00:33:33He was involved in that triple threat match.

00:33:35J.C., Jane, Slamovich, and Ash all contending for the Knockouts World Championship that night.

00:33:40Masha wanted to be the one to bring the Knockouts World title back to TNA.

00:33:44She did.

00:33:44She really wanted to.

00:33:46It was adorable.

00:33:48What happened in that match?

00:33:50Ultimately, Ash by Elegance won the match.

00:33:53What happened at Slammiversary, the Knockouts World title's darkest day?

00:33:58Masha Slamovich lost the title to J.C. Jane.

00:34:01But it was in the aftermath.

00:34:03Boy, that is inspiring.

00:34:05It was in the aftermath.

00:34:06Ash and Masha had screwed each other out of title matches against Jane.

00:34:10This six-knockouts tag team match is just getting warmed up.

00:34:18Right now, the Elegance brand is on a bit of a strategy session here.

00:34:24And it looks like...

00:34:25This is a strategy session.

00:34:27They're leaving, Raywall.

00:34:28And I get it.

00:34:29You know what?

00:34:29What is the point of this?

00:34:31It's a match.

00:34:32They have title matches to worry about later.

00:34:34What does this match mean to them?

00:34:35They don't need this.

00:34:37They're better than this.

00:34:38This is cowardice.

00:34:39They're bigger than this.

00:34:40They're pinker than this.

00:34:41Actually, most of them are smaller than this.

00:34:43Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:34:44Oh, come on.

00:34:44Hold on a second.

00:34:46An inspiration.

00:34:47It's Slamovich.

00:34:48Oh, come on, you animals.

00:34:49Tracking down the Elegance brand.

00:34:51You beast.

00:34:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:34:52Oh, and the personal concierge just slightly tapped Masha.

00:34:57He wishes.

00:34:58To say that his striker would be an understatement.

00:35:02Or an overstatement.

00:35:03And look at that.

00:35:04Now Masha's going to strike him.

00:35:05Get him.

00:35:06Get him.

00:35:07Get him.

00:35:08You put your hands up.

00:35:10His shoes.

00:35:10Oh, an M by Elegance with a super kick to Slamovich.

00:35:16A beautiful ruse pulled off tremendously elegantly, if I may say so.

00:35:25Look at this team.

00:35:26This is a unit.

00:35:29Look behind you.

00:35:32Oh, and the inspiration.

00:35:34What kind of competitor kicks someone in the shin?

00:35:37How low do you got to go?

00:35:39Oh, you can kick him in the shin.

00:35:43Come on, go.

00:35:43Come on now.

00:35:44That's fine.

00:35:44Kick him in the face while you're at it.

00:35:45This is unfair.

00:35:46Now, Ashton, the personal concierge will run out on this match.

00:35:51Look, it's okay.

00:35:52Oh, that's inspirational.

00:35:53That's iconic.

00:35:54They're standing on a ramp.

00:35:56Great.

00:35:57It's okay.

00:35:57The Elegance brand can handle this.

00:35:59Heather and M more than capable.

00:36:02Back inside the ring.

00:36:04Heather and M now dealing with Cassie and Jessie.

00:36:07The human embodiment of the Outback.

00:36:14Cassie and Jessie.

00:36:15What?

00:36:17Bland and expansive.

00:36:20And full of wild animals.

00:36:22Are you talking about the Outback is in the region of Australia or the restaurant?

00:36:28One is bland and the other.

00:36:29Bland and expensive.

00:36:29I don't know what you're talking about anymore.

00:36:31Expansive.

00:36:32Expansive.

00:36:33Oh, I thought you just said expansive with an accent.

00:36:36Full of dust and wild creatures.

00:36:38That's what your house is like.

00:36:41I would leave my beautiful feline compatriots out of this.

00:36:45I know.

00:36:46You and your nine cats.

00:36:48They're much better behaved than Cassie and Jessie here.

00:36:53They're absolutely abusing the Elegance brand.

00:36:56Maybe this is a little preview of what's to come.

00:36:58Ultimate Victory Road.

00:37:00As Jessie McKay is all fired up.

00:37:02Maybe we'll see new tag team champions in Edmonton, Alberta.

00:37:05You shut your mouth when you're talking.

00:37:08Perish the thought.

00:37:09Ooh.

00:37:11Face first into the knee.

00:37:12McKay into the cover and a kick out.

00:37:16Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get Lance Storm on commentary in Alberta.

00:37:19Wouldn't that be something?

00:37:20May the Lord bless us with such things, but one night at a time.

00:37:24Asha Slamovich getting back into the matchup after dealing with the Elegance brand.

00:37:31Asha's back as well.

00:37:32See, everything, order has been maintained.

00:37:36Now, Heather in trouble.

00:37:37Center of the ring against Slamovich and a kick out.

00:37:40Now, it's Slamovich back in here.

00:37:46Ended up right with Heather by Elegance.

00:37:49Tag.

00:37:51Absolute brutality here.

00:37:52Tag.

00:37:53Tag.

00:37:54Tag.

00:37:55Tag.

00:37:56Tag.

00:37:57Tag.

00:37:58Tag.

00:37:59Tag.

00:38:00Tag.

00:38:01Tag.

00:38:02Tag.

00:38:03Tag.

00:38:04Tag.

00:38:05Tag.

00:38:06And we are back here on TNA Impact.

00:38:16This is a six-knockouts tag team matchup here in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

00:38:21The Elegance brand.

00:38:23Trying to pull a fastball on the inspiration in Slamovich, but the match continues.

00:38:28Incredible teamwork there from the Elegance brand.

00:38:31That's how a unit functions.

00:38:33Tag made.

00:38:34And, yeah, teamwork during the commercial break.

00:38:36The entirety of the Elegance brand tried to escape.

00:38:39Tried to leave this matchup.

00:38:41Well, look, and I get it.

00:38:43I said it during the break.

00:38:45What is the point?

00:38:46All three of the Elegance brand have title matches coming up at Victory Road.

00:38:51They've got to focus on that.

00:38:52They don't need this match right here with these heathens.

00:38:55I completely disagree.

00:38:56The Elegance brand is under pressure.

00:38:58They need the momentum just as much as the challengers do.

00:39:01If Heather and Em lose the tag team titles to the inspiration after just breaking the record this past weekend, imagine how furious Ash would be.

00:39:10And on that same night, Ash by Elegance has to defend her championship in one, a matchup where the special guest referee is Indy Hartwell, who's also the number one contender to the Knockouts World Championship.

00:39:22And on top of that, Ash has the personal concierge to thank for talking Santino into making the title defense in Victory Road a match by Elegance, where there are no countouts or disqualifications.

00:39:38Heather, here's the cover off of the dropkick and a kickout.

00:39:41Masha Slamovich has been trying to redeem herself for losing the championship at Slammiversary.

00:39:48On top of that, Slamovich is as motivated as ever heading into Victory Road.

00:39:53What had happened to Masha Slamovich in that triple threat at WWE Heat Wave?

00:39:57Ash won.

00:39:58I think Ash has all the confidence and momentum she needs.

00:40:02But you are right.

00:40:02The challenge of Indy Hartwell is even on the horizon past Victory Road.

00:40:07Bound for glory, the biggest night of our calendar year here in TNA.

00:40:12And I'm sure that Ash is more than ready.

00:40:14Now McKay trying to reach out to the corner.

00:40:16Heather trying to prevent a tag.

00:40:18Hold on a second.

00:40:19Oh, there's Ash by Elegance.

00:40:21Take it away.

00:40:22Cassie Lee.

00:40:23Down goes Jesse.

00:40:23See, look at that.

00:40:24Look at that beautiful strategy.

00:40:26Don't look over here.

00:40:27What is happening?

00:40:28Don't look over here.

00:40:29Heather missed with the elbow drop.

00:40:31Ash is hiding behind you.

00:40:33There's nothing to see here, Tom.

00:40:34Nothing to see.

00:40:35Ash is clearly hiding behind your chair.

00:40:39This is a strategy.

00:40:41An attack's been made.

00:40:43M is legal into the matchup against an Ash.

00:40:45There's nothing to see.

00:40:46Can we get a shot of Ash hiding behind Reywald like a coward?

00:40:50There is nothing to see here.

00:40:52Don't know.

00:40:52Stop.

00:40:54That's the knockout's world champion.

00:40:56Oh, my God.

00:40:56Look at the action.

00:40:57Back inside the ring.

00:41:02Salamovich gets two for one.

00:41:05Cover.

00:41:06Oh, what a kick out by M.

00:41:08Incredible resilience there from M by Elegance.

00:41:12Just incredible resilience by our knockout's world champion to hide behind the desk and hide behind you.

00:41:19Oh.

00:41:19Oh, and there's Heather.

00:41:24Cassie Lee had made a tag.

00:41:25Everything's starting to break down.

00:41:27Everybody's body's flying everywhere.

00:41:30Cassie.

00:41:30Oh, wait, wait, wait.

00:41:31Trying to set up for the Inspiral.

00:41:34Come on to the shoulders.

00:41:35M.

00:41:36Trying to use her size and strength to her advantage.

00:41:39Oh.

00:41:40Ducked underneath.

00:41:41Oh, there it is for Cassie Lee.

00:41:44Oh, wait a minute.

00:41:47Wait a minute.

00:41:47The concierge trying to slide it one of the title guys.

00:41:49Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:41:53Thank you, referee.

00:41:56Oh.

00:41:56Back elbow there by Lee.

00:41:58Protecting herself.

00:42:00Oh, champagne into the eyes by Ash.

00:42:03Beautiful.

00:42:03Oh, and that her feet on the ropes.

00:42:06Here are your winners.

00:42:12The Elegant Brand.

00:42:17Oh, blinded by the beautiful, incredible brand of champagne.

00:42:24That's right.

00:42:24It blinds the pores, ladies and gentlemen.

00:42:27Suck on that.

00:42:29You talk about momentum.

00:42:32This is all the momentum.

00:42:34Don't you look at me, McKay.

00:42:36Don't you look at me.

00:42:38Focus on the momentum that The Elegant Brand has

00:42:40and continues to build towards Victory Road and beyond

00:42:45to bow for glory.

00:42:48This is the Elegant's era.

00:42:51Oh, finally.

00:42:53Baby, you're coming along.

00:42:55I hope their opponents are ready for Victory Road

00:42:57because The Elegant's brand has proven more than formidable.

00:43:00Well, right now it's time for the TNA Injury Report,

00:43:09which was presented by BioFlex,

00:43:11the exclusive recovery partner of TNA Wrestling.

00:43:14Mike Santana was blindsided by the TNA World Champion,

00:43:18NXT's Trick Williams, last week during his entrance,

00:43:22entering competition.

00:43:23But after evaluation, Mike has been fully cleared for competition.

00:43:27Initial soreness in his neck and upper back has been resolved,

00:43:30leaving Santana with no restrictions heading into his match tonight.

00:43:35Following a vicious headbutt from Special Agent Zero earlier on this evening,

00:43:40Moose is currently in concussion protocol.

00:43:43BioFlex team will determine the extent of his condition

00:43:46before clearing him for future in-ring action,

00:43:49specifically his match with Mustafa Ali at Victory Road.

00:43:53Ahead of tonight's highly anticipated main event,

00:43:56both the Hardys and the Nemeth brothers have been cleared by BioFlex doctors.

00:44:00Despite the physical toll of recent weeks,

00:44:02both teams are confirmed to be at 100%

00:44:05heading into this TNA World Tag Team Championship match.

00:44:08This TNA Injury Report is presented by BioFlex.

00:44:28Please welcome Frankie Kazarian.

00:44:35Well, right now here in Minneapolis,

00:44:36we're getting set for the King's Speech.

00:44:39And the rumor is that Frankie Kazarian has a special guest this evening.

00:44:44I can't wait for the King's Speech another episode,

00:44:46but as to who the guest is, is anyone's, anyone's guest, really.

00:44:51I mean, we know that he's had his eye, of course, on the international title.

00:44:55Could it be our international champion, Steve Macklin?

00:44:59I mean, not only that, we've seen the, uh,

00:45:01seemingly coming together of Jake Something,

00:45:04the author on the table,

00:45:06from Frankie Kazarian to Jake Something.

00:45:08Maybe the, the monster that is Jake is the guest here.

00:45:13I can't wait.

00:45:14We'll hear it from the King's lips himself.

00:45:17Welcome to another edition of the greatest talk show in the history of TNA,

00:45:23The King's Speech.

00:45:25I am your host, the King of TNA, Frankie Kazarian.

00:45:31And listen, I understand that Minnesota is known for a prince.

00:45:40Tonight, you're going to be known for a king.

00:45:45And it's a great night.

00:45:47I have the very best guest I've ever had in the history of this show.

00:45:52This gentleman is one of, if not the greatest wrestler in the world.

00:45:57He has held multiple TNA titles.

00:46:00He's a handsome man.

00:46:01He's a snappy dresser.

00:46:04Please welcome Frankie Kazarian.

00:46:09Give me a break.

00:46:13Since I am a guest tonight, I,

00:46:15I have a very important announcement at Victory Road.

00:46:20It's beneficial.

00:46:22It's going to be Frankie Kazarian

00:46:24versus Steve Macklin

00:46:27for the international title.

00:46:36And what Steve Macklin needs to understand is that

00:46:40history doesn't remember soldiers.

00:46:44It remembers kings and a Victory Road.

00:46:46I am going to be your new international champion.

00:46:58But wait, there's more.

00:47:01Since I am such a generous and magnanimous king,

00:47:06I actually have another special guest.

00:47:11And you know what?

00:47:13I'm not even going to announce who it is.

00:47:16I'm going to let him do that himself.

00:47:24No way!

00:47:26Now that is a very special guest.

00:47:43The two-time TNA World Champion,

00:47:47Mr. Anderson!

00:47:51I will never forget the first time

00:47:56I watched a mic drop from the ceiling

00:47:59for this character, for this man,

00:48:02for this orator, for this entertainer.

00:48:05Once again, about to step into a TNA ring.

00:48:09Two kings in my mind.

00:48:11I know I'm going.

00:48:12I know I'm going.

00:48:14Absolutely amazing.

00:48:19Welcome.

00:48:20Welcome back.

00:48:21Welcome back.

00:48:22Welcome back.

00:48:23Ken Anderson, who

00:48:25tore this place up for years

00:48:28in the 2010s.

00:48:29He and Brighton Kazarian

00:48:30crossed paths quite a few times.

00:48:32No doubt they have some history.

00:48:34I can't wait to see them reminisce.

00:48:35I'm sure they're going to be

00:48:36just like old pals.

00:48:38Ladies and gentlemen, former two-time TNA World Champion, Mr. Ken Anderson.

00:48:55Former two-time TNA World Champion, Mr. Ken Anderson.

00:49:04It's great to see you.

00:49:05You look good.

00:49:06I mean...

00:49:07See, I deliver for you people.

00:49:19Now, tell me, man, how are things in Green Bay?

00:49:22Well, it's funny you say that because I am from there.

00:49:33I'm very proud of being from there.

00:49:35However, I've lived here for over 20 years.

00:49:39My professional wrestling school, the Academy School of Professional Wrestling,

00:49:47in case anybody wants to learn how to fall down, is here.

00:49:53My kids are from here.

00:49:56And the fact that I am here in a TNA ring for the first time in over nine years

00:50:03in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

00:50:12This is home.

00:50:15All right, you heard of Minnesota's home.

00:50:17That's got to suck.

00:50:23But I do know you have a very, very successful wrestling school.

00:50:28In fact, I met one of your students earlier today,

00:50:31and he actually asked me for some advice.

00:50:34And I told him, I said, if I were you,

00:50:36I'd probably set fire to my boots while I was wearing them.

00:50:41But it's okay.

00:50:42It's okay.

00:50:42Look, you and I have known each other.

00:50:44We've traveled up and down the road.

00:50:45In fact, we have a little bit of history.

00:50:47You know, you and I competed in one of the only singles ultimate X matches

00:50:52to ever happen.

00:50:55I beat you in that match, by the way.

00:51:02It's all right, though.

00:51:02It's all right.

00:51:03I beat him in a lot of matches.

00:51:04That was just a very special one.

00:51:07But no, we're old friends, man.

00:51:09We're old friends.

00:51:10I'm just having some fun.

00:51:11If memory serves me correctly,

00:51:13you also served as a member of the United States Army Reserves.

00:51:18Did you not?

00:51:25Thank you for your service.

00:51:28You know, you see, there's this idiot running around here,

00:51:31Steve Macklin,

00:51:32and he claims to be a war hero or something.

00:51:37I think, really, he was the guy that, like,

00:51:39served the slop in the kitchen.

00:51:40And from what I understand and from my sisters to tell me,

00:51:44Steve Macklin's nothing but a coward.

00:51:49So I kind of had a question, you know, with your history.

00:51:54Were you a coward?

00:51:55Because you've kind of always seemed like the kind of guy

00:51:58that would run from a fight instead of running to a fight.

00:52:04Kind of always wanted to know that about you.

00:52:06Wait, so let me get this straight.

00:52:09The guy who served four years active duty

00:52:12as a machine gunner,

00:52:15combat tours of Afghanistan,

00:52:19that guy is a coward.

00:52:21That's what you're saying?

00:52:22That guy's a coward?

00:52:24That's what I'm told, yes.

00:52:26Well, let me ask you this, Frankie.

00:52:28When did you serve?

00:52:30What branch did you serve in?

00:52:33This isn't about me.

00:52:34This isn't about me.

00:52:36I was asked, and I politely declined.

00:52:40But, hey, I mean, look, man,

00:52:42I invited you onto my show.

00:52:46I'm giving you a platform,

00:52:47and I see what you're doing.

00:52:49You're trying to embarrass me

00:52:51because you're home in front of all these idiots in Minnesota.

00:52:54Well, I really kind of didn't want it to come to this,

00:53:05but you know what?

00:53:07You haven't embarrassed me,

00:53:08but you've kind of pissed me off, Ken.

00:53:13Look it.

00:53:14I know for a fact

00:53:15that your mother is here tonight.

00:53:18Hi, Mom.

00:53:34I also know your lovely wife

00:53:36is here tonight.

00:53:37All right.

00:53:43Got the whole family.

00:53:48And I also know

00:53:49your beautiful children are here tonight.

00:53:55There they are,

00:53:56little whippersnappers.

00:53:58God love them.

00:54:00All right.

00:54:00That leads me to my next question.

00:54:03Are you willing to

00:54:05let them just sit there

00:54:07and watch

00:54:08if I decide

00:54:10to beat you

00:54:12within an inch of your life?

00:54:16Huh?

00:54:18Is that the kind of man you are?

00:54:21Hey!

00:54:21Look at me, Ken.

00:54:23Is that the kind of man you are?

00:54:25You want to put them through that anguish?

00:54:27If I start pounding you,

00:54:29is that the kind of man you are, huh?

00:54:35Is that the kind of father you are, huh?

00:54:38Is that the case?

00:54:39Is that what we're looking at?

00:54:41That's the kind of deadbeat dad you are.

00:54:43You're going to let them

00:54:45just watch

00:54:46as their dad

00:54:47gets pummeled

00:54:49and gets his ass kicked.

00:54:51That's what I'm dealing with.

00:54:52Whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:54:54I guess the answer to that is no.

00:54:59Ken Anderson has had enough.

00:55:02Oh, wait a minute.

00:55:03There's Jake something

00:55:05who you mentioned earlier.

00:55:10Yes!

00:55:11Oh, wait a stick.

00:55:12Oh, God.

00:55:13Jake something

00:55:14who we saw recently

00:55:15came to an accord

00:55:16with Kisarian.

00:55:18Oh, look out!

00:55:21Wait a second.

00:55:22There's the international champ.

00:55:25Bulletproof Steve Macklin

00:55:27sending something

00:55:29out of the ring.

00:55:32Steve Macklin

00:55:33coming to the aid

00:55:38of Mr. Anderson

00:55:40against something

00:55:41and Kisarian.

00:55:42Welcome back to TNA Impact.

00:55:53We are set

00:55:53for a true

00:55:54grudge match.

00:56:07LUNA!

00:56:09Two weeks ago

00:56:11live on TNA Impact

00:56:12we saw

00:56:13Danny Luna

00:56:13versus Jody Threat

00:56:14versus Cindy Hartwell

00:56:16determine the number

00:56:17one contender

00:56:17for the TNA Knockouts

00:56:19World Championship

00:56:20at Bound for Glory.

00:56:22Ultimately,

00:56:22another chance

00:56:23to become number one

00:56:24contender

00:56:25for Danny Luna.

00:56:27Run up in smoke.

00:56:28Luna

00:56:28snapped

00:56:29again

00:56:30after that match.

00:56:31And her opponent

00:56:42from Melbourne,

00:56:44Australia

00:56:45Indy

00:56:49Hartwell!

00:56:52That was this

00:56:53once upon a time

00:56:54tag team

00:56:55in friendship

00:56:56between Indy Hartwell

00:56:57and Danny Luna

00:56:58that has gone up

00:56:59in smoke

00:57:00over the last

00:57:01couple of weeks

00:57:02and now you can

00:57:03even see it

00:57:03in her eyes

00:57:04they were ready

00:57:04to take it

00:57:05to the mat

00:57:06as this one

00:57:07starts off hot.

00:57:09And this one

00:57:10spilling over

00:57:11from the recent

00:57:12Knockouts

00:57:13Gauntlet match

00:57:13we saw weeks ago

00:57:15on Impact.

00:57:16Remember,

00:57:16it was down to

00:57:17Indy Hartwell

00:57:17and Danny Luna.

00:57:19Hartwell was able

00:57:20to defeat Luna

00:57:21and moved on

00:57:22to the final two.

00:57:23Threat and Hartwell,

00:57:25Danny Luna

00:57:25was furious

00:57:27after the fact

00:57:28and attacked

00:57:29both Threat

00:57:30and Hartwell

00:57:30with a steel chair.

00:57:35And that ultimately

00:57:36gave Jody Threat

00:57:37technically a victory

00:57:39in that Gauntlet match

00:57:40by disqualification

00:57:42which,

00:57:43I thought she should

00:57:44have just taken

00:57:44and run with it

00:57:45but ended up

00:57:46putting that opportunity

00:57:47on the line

00:57:48in that aforementioned

00:57:49Triple Threat match.

00:57:51There's the cover

00:57:51by Hartwell

00:57:52and a kick out.

00:57:53In the end,

00:57:53it was Hartwell

00:57:55who was able

00:57:55to win the matchup

00:57:56and is now awaiting

00:57:58whomever is the

00:57:59Knockouts World Champion

00:58:00following Victory Road

00:58:12Impact in Edmonton

00:58:14and it all leads us

00:58:15along the path

00:58:16to bow for glory.

00:58:17Sunday, October 12th,

00:58:19we'll be live

00:58:19on Pay-Per-View

00:58:20and TNA Plus

00:58:21in Lowell, Massachusetts

00:58:22for our biggest

00:58:23event of the year.

00:58:24Again, you can get

00:58:25your tickets now

00:58:26via TNAwrestling.com.

00:58:29Oh!

00:58:31That was absolutely

00:58:33nasty from Luna there.

00:58:37Snapping Indy Hartwell,

00:58:38throwing it at the rope

00:58:39and following it up

00:58:40with that larrient.

00:58:41Look to the leg

00:58:42and a kick out.

00:58:45And now Hartwell

00:58:46is going to have

00:58:46to regroup.

00:58:48Take another look here.

00:58:50Rope first

00:58:51into the rope

00:58:52goes Hartwell.

00:58:54This is an example

00:58:55of the nastiness

00:58:56of Danny Luna

00:58:57as of late.

00:58:58Well, this is what

00:58:59can happen.

00:58:59Look, a lot of people

00:59:00aren't going to like it.

00:59:01A lot of people

00:59:02are going to denigrate it.

00:59:03But when you throw

00:59:04off the chains

00:59:05of trying to be

00:59:05everybody's friend,

00:59:06trying to be

00:59:07everybody's tag team partner,

00:59:08it's a little nasty.

00:59:10It's a little dirty,

00:59:11but it is very freeing.

00:59:13And I think that's

00:59:14what Danny Luna

00:59:14is starting to discover,

00:59:16whether you like it

00:59:16or you don't.

00:59:17Overhead,

00:59:18belly to belly there

00:59:19by Luna.

00:59:20Luna, a powerlifting

00:59:22background is one

00:59:23of the more powerful

00:59:25athletes you'll see

00:59:26in a TNA ring

00:59:27and beyond.

00:59:28And frankly,

00:59:29this added edge

00:59:30has made her

00:59:31one of the more

00:59:31dangerous people

00:59:32in TNA.

00:59:33And that's the thing

00:59:35about power.

00:59:36Power is more

00:59:37than strength.

00:59:37There's a lot of people

00:59:38who can simply move

00:59:40the weight,

00:59:40but power takes

00:59:41force and ferocity

00:59:43and speed

00:59:43to move it.

00:59:45Danny Luna combines

00:59:46all of those

00:59:47to make a very

00:59:48dangerous weapon

00:59:49when she wants

00:59:50to be one.

00:59:50And you can see

00:59:51that smile

00:59:52on Luna's face.

00:59:53For a while,

00:59:54Luna did everything

00:59:55by the book.

00:59:56Tremendously respectful.

00:59:58You and I have known

00:59:58her since our days

00:59:59in NXT UK,

01:00:00but there's a smile

01:00:02on Luna's face.

01:00:02She's enjoying

01:00:03dishing out punishment.

01:00:05She's writing

01:00:06a new chapter.

01:00:07Again,

01:00:07it's not going to

01:00:08please a lot of people,

01:00:09but it might get her

01:00:11some results.

01:00:11It'll be here.

01:00:12Cover here in a kickout.

01:00:13Imagine how the conversation

01:00:15surrounding the Knockouts

01:00:16World Championship

01:00:17match at Bound for Glory

01:00:18would change

01:00:18if Danny Luna

01:00:19beat Hartwell tonight.

01:00:21Hartwell's never been

01:00:22beaten in a standard

01:00:23singles match

01:00:24in TNA.

01:00:27And not only that,

01:00:28let's not forget

01:00:29that the personal

01:00:30concierge

01:00:31paid a little visit

01:00:32to Danny Luna

01:00:33ahead of this matchup,

01:00:35seeing if she would,

01:00:36let's say,

01:00:37put in some extra work

01:00:38on Indy Hartwell

01:00:39to make sure

01:00:40she doesn't make it

01:00:41to Bound for Glory.

01:00:42Indy Hartwell is,

01:00:43of course,

01:00:43the number one contender

01:00:45to the Knockouts

01:00:45World Championship

01:00:46comes Sunday,

01:00:47October 12th

01:00:48at Bound for Glory.

01:00:49But one week from tomorrow,

01:00:51live in Edmonton

01:00:52on TNA Plus,

01:00:53Indy Hartwell

01:00:54is the special guest

01:00:55referee

01:00:56for the Knockouts

01:00:57World title match

01:00:58between Ash by Elegance

01:00:59and Masha Slamovich

01:01:01in a match by Elegance

01:01:03at Victory Road.

01:01:06Look at this.

01:01:07We've seen Luna

01:01:08do this before.

01:01:09If she can get her base,

01:01:11get her arms around.

01:01:12Oh!

01:01:13Indy Hartwell

01:01:14who counters, though.

01:01:15Hartwell has done

01:01:16her homework.

01:01:18Oh, but there's Luna

01:01:20following up

01:01:21with a big lariat.

01:01:22Justin, right there!

01:01:23Justin, right there!

01:01:24Come on!

01:01:26And imagine it.

01:01:31If Danny Luna

01:01:32can get done

01:01:33what she wants

01:01:35to get done tonight,

01:01:36I mean,

01:01:36Bound for Glory

01:01:37could change

01:01:38in an instant

01:01:39if Indy Hartwell

01:01:40gets beaten down

01:01:42bad enough.

01:01:49Oh, big forearm smash

01:01:51there by Luna.

01:01:52Hartwell, though.

01:01:59Hartwell, though.

01:02:00Go!

01:02:01Digging down deep.

01:02:02Go!

01:02:03Digging down deep.

01:02:04Able to stay

01:02:05in this one.

01:02:06It's been one of

01:02:07Hartwell's best

01:02:08weapons in her arsenal.

01:02:09Her resilience.

01:02:11Her ability

01:02:11to stay in the fight.

01:02:13That's how she defeated

01:02:13the two-time

01:02:14world champion

01:02:15Tessa Blanchard

01:02:16back at Slammiversary

01:02:18in July.

01:02:20The biggest win

01:02:20of her TNA career

01:02:21thus far.

01:02:24And to the point

01:02:24you've often made, Tom,

01:02:26Indy Hartwell

01:02:26has a spectacular,

01:02:28I believe,

01:02:28perfect singles record

01:02:30here in TNA.

01:02:32Oh, now,

01:02:33look at Danny Luna

01:02:34doing the shrewd thing

01:02:35and rolling out

01:02:36of the ring

01:02:37away from Indy Hartwell.

01:02:39And away from danger.

01:02:42Do what you gotta do.

01:02:46Oh, Hartwell

01:02:47trying to get Luna

01:02:48back inside the ring.

01:02:49Oh, and a Luna

01:02:50with a steel chair

01:02:51once again.

01:02:53That's gonna call

01:02:54for the bell.

01:03:03Here's your winner

01:03:04by disqualification,

01:03:07Indy Hartwell.

01:03:10Well, that's the decision,

01:03:12but, well, clearly,

01:03:14Danny Luna had a goal

01:03:15besides just winning

01:03:16this match.

01:03:18Luna appeared to be

01:03:20getting frustrated,

01:03:21but there's an

01:03:23ulterior motive.

01:03:24She wants to beat

01:03:25the hell

01:03:25out of Indy Hartwell.

01:03:27She wants to make sure

01:03:28that Indy Hartwell

01:03:29does not make it

01:03:31to bound for glory

01:03:32in the knockout

01:03:33for a title match.

01:03:35on our security.

01:03:40Oh, no, no, no.

01:03:42Now he got taken out

01:03:43by Luna.

01:03:45Luna is absolutely

01:03:46unleashed here.

01:03:52And we are back here

01:03:54on TMA Impact.

01:03:55Moments away

01:03:56from Mike Santana

01:03:57in action.

01:03:57But the contest is

01:04:00scheduled for one call.

01:04:01He should lose it.

01:04:03Last week,

01:04:05I came to the ring

01:04:07to have a match

01:04:08with Mike Santana.

01:04:10And he didn't even

01:04:12make it into the ring.

01:04:13And as a result,

01:04:16I won.

01:04:18And due to

01:04:19habitually losing,

01:04:22Santana has had

01:04:24as many TNA world title

01:04:27reigns as your Vikings

01:04:29have had

01:04:30Super Bowl wins.

01:04:31So tonight,

01:04:38IHAC

01:04:39from Wisconsin

01:04:41up, down,

01:04:44Mike Santana

01:04:46and goes straight

01:04:47to the top

01:04:48of the TNA

01:04:50food chain.

01:04:59Mike Santana

01:05:01prides himself

01:05:02on keeping

01:05:03things real, right?

01:05:05He does.

01:05:06Well, things

01:05:06can be about

01:05:07to get real ugly.

01:05:09Santana was going

01:05:09off on social media

01:05:11during NXT

01:05:12on Tuesday.

01:05:15And his opponent

01:05:16from the Bronx,

01:05:17New York,

01:05:18weighing in at

01:05:19230 pounds,

01:05:22Mike Santana!

01:05:26And Mike Santana

01:05:28better be careful

01:05:29making his way

01:05:30to the ring tonight.

01:05:31The last time

01:05:32we saw him

01:05:33coming through

01:05:33the crowd

01:05:34like he always does,

01:05:35it was TNA world

01:05:36champion

01:05:37Trick Williams

01:05:38who appeared

01:05:40out of nowhere

01:05:41hidden

01:05:42in disguise

01:05:43and jumped

01:05:44Santana

01:05:45on his way

01:05:45to the ring.

01:05:46These two

01:05:46had to be pulled

01:05:47apart.

01:05:48Things are picking

01:05:49up on the road

01:05:50to bow for glory

01:05:51for Santana

01:05:52and Trick Williams.

01:06:17after everything

01:06:18with Trick Williams.

01:06:21Oh, outlined in shock!

01:06:24it's going to be

01:06:25AJZ

01:06:26and the recipient

01:06:27of all that frustration.

01:06:31STB!

01:06:32This is what

01:06:33Santana wanted to do

01:07:14gonna happen again

01:07:15because on October 12th,

01:10:26Nick Nemets

01:10:26recent suspension

01:10:27delayed the Nemets

01:10:28brothers getting

01:10:29their contractual rematch.

01:10:31And the Nemets

01:10:31brothers said

01:10:32earlier on tonight,

01:10:33we were never pinned

01:10:34for those championships.

01:10:41Hold on a second.

01:10:43It appears we have

01:11:04goes where he wants,

01:11:05does what he pleases.

01:11:08Carlos Silva

01:11:09and the board member

01:11:16main event matchup

01:11:18and the Nemets

01:11:19brothers.

01:11:20man, how are you doing

01:11:23Matt?

01:11:23How are you doing, man?

01:11:24How are you?

01:11:26Matt?

01:11:28Welcome back to

01:11:29commentary.

01:11:30You know, I have to say,

01:11:31I would say to Ray,

01:11:31well, we've been looking

01:11:32for a third member

01:11:33for our crew for a while.

01:11:34We just couldn't think

01:11:35of who it was.

01:11:36Well, listen,

01:11:36I'm always ready for anything.

01:11:38Kissing the boss's butts,

01:11:39doing commentary,

01:11:40everything.

01:11:41You're out here in gear.

01:11:42Always ready.

01:11:43Who's this?

01:11:43Always ready.

01:11:44I'm suspicious.

01:11:45Get ready for our main event

01:11:47here tonight

01:11:47in Minneapolis.

01:11:50Oh, my God.

01:12:01Following tag team matches

01:12:03scheduled for one call

01:12:04and it's for

01:12:06the TNA World Tag Team

01:12:10Championship.

01:12:14Introducing first

01:12:15the challengers,

01:12:17the team of Ryan

01:12:18and Nick

01:12:20Nemets.

01:12:23Now, Matt,

01:12:24I can venture a guess

01:12:25as to why you're out here.

01:12:27Granted, you've known

01:12:27Nick and Ryan Nemets

01:12:28for a very long time,

01:12:30but you recently mixed it up

01:12:31with Ryan Nemets.

01:12:33Yeah, I mean,

01:12:33I know there's going to be

01:12:34the best of collusion tonight.

01:12:35Ryan Nemets

01:12:36sticking his nose in my face.

01:12:37Look at him.

01:12:38What's he doing?

01:12:38Oh, hey, whoa.

01:12:40Then in the face

01:12:40of Anthem board member

01:12:41Rick Herman.

01:12:43Hey, what the hell?

01:12:44What's going on here?

01:12:46I know that's a very

01:12:47important member

01:12:48of the Anthem family.

01:12:50Carlos trying to control Rick.

01:12:52Nobody likes Ryan Nemets.

01:12:54He put his hands

01:12:55on a former tag team champion.

01:13:00That is very unbecoming.

01:13:01So what's your personal issue

01:13:03with Ryan Nemets?

01:13:04Look, he cost me

01:13:05that match with Kazarian.

01:13:06I'm just here to make sure

01:13:08there's no collusion,

01:13:10there's no screw jobs

01:13:11here in Minneapolis.

01:13:12That's why.

01:13:13I mean, I need to do some

01:13:14commentary, do some scouting.

01:13:15We appreciate that.

01:13:16Look, you attacked him

01:13:17before your match.

01:13:19You attacked Ryan Nemets?

01:13:21I don't remember it that way.

01:13:22Of course you don't.

01:13:24You're just Jones

01:13:25because you don't have

01:13:25a big brother to look up to.

01:13:26Hey, I am the big brother.

01:13:28Let's go.

01:13:28And their opponents

01:13:44from the hardy compound

01:13:46in Cameron, North Carolina.

01:13:49They are

01:13:50the TNA World Tag Team

01:13:55Champions,

01:13:57Matt, Jeff,

01:13:59the Hardys.

01:14:02This is a critical night

01:14:04for the Hardys.

01:14:06Trying to defend

01:14:06the TNA World Tag Team titles

01:14:09on their path

01:14:10to Val for Glory.

01:14:12Matt, what do you think

01:14:13could possibly happen

01:14:14next week?

01:14:15It's been announced,

01:14:16we'll see the Hardys,

01:14:18the TNA Hall of Famers,

01:14:19Team 3D,

01:14:20the final negotiation

01:14:24Matt, I've been in the ring

01:14:25with the Hardys.

01:14:26I've been in the ring

01:14:27with Team 3D.

01:14:27Honestly, I don't trust

01:14:29any of them.

01:14:30I don't trust any of them,

01:14:31especially with the titles

01:14:33and the legacy

01:14:33of being the greatest

01:14:34Sanker of all time

01:14:35on the line.

01:14:38It'll be one last time.

01:14:40One of the greatest rivalries

01:14:42in the history

01:14:43of professional wrestling.

01:14:45I was there in attendance.

01:14:47I'm sorry to cut you off.

01:14:47I was there at the Royal Rumble.

01:14:49I saw the Hardys boys live.

01:14:51Because he's treated it.

01:14:52The MSG, baby.

01:14:5325 years ago,

01:14:55the tables match

01:14:56that set off

01:14:57this entire rivalry

01:15:00between Team 3D

01:15:02and the Hardys.

01:15:04I wish I would've

01:15:05caught that gesture

01:15:06and I would've

01:15:06sold their own rights.

01:15:09I'm sure about that

01:15:10on the Major Wrestling Face pod.

01:15:12And here we go.

01:15:13It's Matt Hardy

01:15:14up against Nick Nemeth

01:15:15to start things out.

01:15:16Now two on one

01:15:17with the Nemeth Thrunners.

01:15:18And here comes

01:15:19Jeff Hardy to even the odds.

01:15:20I mean, this thing's

01:15:21already breaking down.

01:15:22We know how much,

01:15:24how many,

01:15:25how high the tensions

01:15:26are between

01:15:26the Nemeths

01:15:27who have wanted

01:15:28their contractual rematch

01:15:29but have been denied it

01:15:31by Santino.

01:15:32The Nemeth brothers

01:15:34sit hard on the outside.

01:15:35Matt and Jeff were

01:15:36in command.

01:15:38This TNA World Tag Team

01:16:01This is a critical matchup

01:16:02on the path

01:20:01TNA tag team champions

01:20:02covered by Ryan

01:20:04and a kick out

01:20:04the reason
