00:00:01Last month, we saw the Feaster fired match, and as a result, Steve Macklin received a pink slip.

00:00:08However, Steve Macklin assaulted the reigning TNA World Champion Mike Santana in the midst of the main event of No

00:00:16Surrender.

00:00:17Now, Steve Macklin has asked TNA Wrestling for the opportunity to tell his side of the story.

00:00:24Do you not remember months ago at Turning Point?

00:00:27We all have to hold ourselves accountable.

00:00:30Why should you be any different?

00:00:34God, Jesus, Steve!

00:00:41The Righteous get another chance to prove themselves to the Hardys after some of the mishaps for the last couple

00:00:48of weeks.

00:00:53Boston Knee Party Vintage pushed Matt Hardy out of the way.

00:00:56Now get the win.

00:00:58Winning apparently was not enough.

00:01:01Looking to send a message to the Righteous and the Hardys.

00:01:06The face of the franchise still has plenty of bones to pick with the system.

00:01:11The numbers!

00:01:12Just too much for Moose.

00:01:16Alicia Edwards putting herself between her husband and Moose.

00:01:21Is this the splinter that can break the system?

00:01:31Is this the splinter that can break the system?

00:01:36Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:02:09Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:02:37And we kick everything off here tonight with Knockouts Championship action!

00:02:51Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:03:10Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:03:19Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:03:35Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:04:35Mariana Grace shocked the world at no surrender last month and captured the Knockouts World Championship from laying lead.

00:04:41Jody Brent secured a title shot that night by winning a Battle Royal.

00:04:46Who will walk out of Atlanta?

00:04:48Knockouts World Champion!

00:05:06Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:05:09Dzięki za oglądanie!

00:05:19Rewonnie was quite the shocker at no surrender.

00:05:22Rewonnie Grace, thanks to the involvement of her fiancé, Stax, and also cheating throughout the matchup using her father Santino

00:05:32Marella's.

00:05:33Patented Cobra cut corners and took the Knockouts World Championship.

00:05:40Look, it was weeks of manipulation with her father, the director of authority Santino Marella.

00:05:46But at the end of the day, she got what she wanted!

00:05:49She got what she can't!

00:05:50Wait, what the hell?

00:05:52Hold on a second.

00:05:54Wait, what the hell?

00:06:05Hold on a second.

00:06:08It appears we have some company here in Atlanta.

00:06:11Tessa Blanchard, Victoria Crawford, and Mila Moore.

00:06:16Tessa Blanchard has no scheduled business to be out here.

00:06:21I can only surmise wants to get an up-close-and-personal look at this Knockouts World Title match, but

00:06:27I have no idea.

00:06:29It was recently on Impact.

00:06:31Tessa Blanchard went one-on-one with Jody Threatt.

00:06:36After that matchup, Jody Threatt sustained a rib injury after a three-on-one assault by Blanchard, Moore, and Crawford.

00:06:45And this is obviously throwing a little bit of a wrench into the festivities here.

00:06:50Even Ariana Grace kind of giving a second look.

00:06:55And Tessa and company.

00:06:57Staring down TNA President Carlos Silva, who is out here as per usual for this championship matchup on it.

00:07:03It appears we've had ourselves a guest on commentary.

00:07:08By all means.

00:07:10So Tessa, last week on Impact, we found Jody Threatt down backstage.

00:07:17Harley Hudson and Mila Grace told Santina Morella that you, Mila, and Victoria did that.

00:07:23Is that true?

00:07:24Yeah, we did that.

00:07:25At least they're honest.

00:07:27Yeah.

00:07:28Tremendous honesty.

00:07:30I hope you're proud of yourselves.

00:07:31The contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:07:36And is for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

00:07:45Introducing first the challenger from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jody Threatt.

00:08:03Oh, what a grace attacking Threatt from behind.

00:08:07The bell is wrong.

00:08:08This match is underway.

00:08:10Jody Threatt certainly doesn't have much luck with getting jumped from behind.

00:08:14Or I guess she does have luck, I should say.

00:08:17Are you proud of yourself, Tessa?

00:08:19Oh, extremely.

00:08:21Jody's an easy target.

00:08:23So what's the point in going after someone who's earned a Knockouts World title shot?

00:08:28Oh God, they all say that they've earned it.

00:08:30They've earned it.

00:08:31They all need to learn that the line starts behind Tessa Blanchard.

00:08:34Well, to be fair, it doesn't.

00:08:36Jody Threatt earned a Knockouts World title shot.

00:08:39As I mentioned moments ago, she won a battle royal at no surrender to get this title shot.

00:08:44Danny Luna is on a title shot.

00:08:46Lay is a contractual rematch.

00:08:48You know what, Tom?

00:08:49I don't like the way that you're talking to me.

00:08:51I beat her.

00:08:52I beat her.

00:08:53I beat her.

00:08:54Hold on a second.

00:08:55Hold on.

00:08:56Grace.

00:08:57Now, speak of the devil, Tom.

00:09:00This Danny Luna, who was supposed to have a Knockouts World title shot back in January at Genesis,

00:09:06couldn't travel to this country because of the visa issues.

00:09:08Beat her, too.

00:09:10I mean, look, there's no doubting there's a lot of talent in the Knockout, as evidenced by Tessa Blanchard with

00:09:16us here right now.

00:09:17It's a competitive division.

00:09:19Everybody's got their eyes on this title.

00:09:20They all study me.

00:09:22They all copy me.

00:09:23And they all still fall short, Matt.

00:09:25And the distraction by Stax, creating an opportunity for Ariana Grace.

00:09:30I'd say, yeah, that is copying Tessa Blanchard because you've had plenty of help from Neil Moore and Victoria Crawford

00:09:35now.

00:09:36I will say, Ariana, I admire her.

00:09:39The only difference is she needed her daddy to get a title shot.

00:09:42Everything that I have, I've gotten on my own.

00:09:45What's your last name?

00:09:47Tom.

00:09:47Easy, Tom.

00:09:48Easy, easy, Tom.

00:09:50I'm in no mood after last week.

00:09:51Forgive me.

00:09:51I can imagine, but look.

00:09:53The disrespect.

00:09:54Tessa brings up a good point, though.

00:09:57Paved a lot of pads in this Knockouts division.

00:09:59A lot of these people, if you're going to try to be the best, why not copy the best?

00:10:04Or why don't you try and beat the best?

00:10:07Good luck to them.

00:10:08Ooh, spinning neck breaker.

00:10:09Hold on, look at the ramp there.

00:10:10We have the cover here in this championship matchup up on the ramp.

00:10:13There's the former Knockouts World Champion laying Lee on the left and Zion Brookside on the right.

00:10:18The tag team known as the Angel Warriors.

00:10:21A lot of prying eyes on this.

00:10:24I'm just waiting.

00:10:26I'm waiting.

00:10:27When I want to be the Knockouts Champion, I will be again.

00:10:31This is the first of two championship matches we're supposed to see this evening.

00:10:34Still to come tonight, our main event matchup.

00:10:37Leon Slater defends the X Division Championship against the Call Your Shot Gauntlet winner, Nick Nemeth.

00:10:43That should be a hell of a matchup.

00:10:45Meanwhile, this four-way tag team matchup will determine the future number one contender for the TNA World Tag Team

00:10:52Champions, the Hardys.

00:10:53Also, we're set to hear from Moose as he is focused on taking down this new regime of the system.

00:11:01We will also have the return of the King's Speech with the former TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian and Elijah.

00:11:08Fresh off his guitar case, casket match victory against Mustafa Ali in the Knockouts Division.

00:11:13Elena Black goes one-on-one with Mara Sade and also still to come tonight.

00:11:19I, for one, have a vested interest in hearing from the TNA World Champion Mike Santana giving the actions of

00:11:25Steve Macklin last week.

00:11:28Right now, Jody Threat has a window of opportunity here.

00:11:34Jody Threat favoring the ribs. You can see the kinesio tapering.

00:11:37Well, favoring those ribs. I was going to say, courtesy of our guest here, Tessa Blanchard.

00:11:44Hasn't leave something here to remember me by.

00:11:46German suplex here by Threat.

00:11:49Despite the rib injury that you caused, Tessa, Jody Threat is in control right now.

00:11:55She could win the Knockouts World Title.

00:11:57Not much of a threat, though, is she?

00:11:59Certainly a threat to the reigning champion.

00:12:01Well, Jody Threat does walk out with the title.

00:12:04Tessa, you're all too familiar with taking her out.

00:12:08Oh, I just can't wait. I almost hope that she does that.

00:12:11Ooh!

00:12:13Tessa could happen!

00:12:14Trying to win the title. Grace able to escape.

00:12:21Now Stax. Ariana Grace's fiancée pulling her to safety.

00:12:25Hold on. In the corner, that's Indy Hartwell.

00:12:28And the crowd, it just keeps getting more and more crowded here.

00:12:31Well, Tessa, you haven't beaten Indy Hartwell. That's right.

00:12:34I remember slamming the ribs.

00:12:35Tom, why don't you do your job and focus on the bench?

00:12:37Come on!

00:12:38That's how we're going to do that.

00:12:40Speaking of which, Jody Threat just took out Stax.

00:12:44at ringside.

00:12:46There's Doomsday Danny Luna.

00:12:49Lee and Brookside looking on as well.

00:12:52The Sharks are circling.

00:12:55No matter who walks out with the title tonight in this matchup,

00:13:00there are a lot of people with targets on the goal.

00:13:05Hartwell who challenged for the Knockouts World Championship back in Bound for Glory,

00:13:09our biggest event of the year.

00:13:11Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:13:12Ariana Grace, she had the Cobra.

00:13:15She had Santino Morello's Cobra was trying to chain again.

00:13:17Oh, wait a minute.

00:13:18Jody Threat went for pot-shoving, but the ribs gave out.

00:13:21Here we go.

00:13:22Whoa, whoa.

00:13:23Jody Threat trying to get the Cobra out of the hands of Ariana Grace here.

00:13:30With the ribs, the damage to the ribs.

00:13:34Now Grace, shoulders down, handle the ribs here.

00:13:39Grace retains it's threat.

00:13:40I'm going to make something abundantly clear to both of you.

00:13:43All of these people, all of these girls, all they can do is talk about me.

00:13:49And you want to know why?

00:13:50Because when they talk about themselves, nobody listens.

00:13:59Bold, emphatic words there from Tessa Blanchard.

00:14:05There are so many sharks in the water.

00:14:09And Carlos Silva, as he has done customarily,

00:14:14was trying to award the title to the champion.

00:14:17Stacks completely disrespecting our president

00:14:20and handing the championship to his fiance.

00:14:26I mean, which way you like it.

00:14:27Ariana Grace stays at the top of the knockouts division.

00:14:30As I mentioned moments ago, I wanted to take the opportunity

00:14:33to formally address what happened last week with Steve Macklin.

00:14:36Ultimately, I was trying to help someone I believe to be my friend in Steve Macklin.

00:14:42I never expected our friendship to play out the way that it did.

00:14:46I am disgusted by Steve Macklin.

00:14:50And what kills me is that I know exactly what he's trying to do.

00:14:54Yeah.

00:14:56There are lines in this business you just don't cross.

00:14:59Macklin jumped over those lines.

00:15:01Quite frankly, I hope Mike Santana, or whoever wants to, kicks his ass.

00:15:05Because he has it coming, quite frankly.

00:15:07But more of that at another time.

00:15:09Right now, I want to turn our attention to the action.

00:15:12What's most important.

00:15:13Still to come tonight.

00:15:14Nemeth and Slater for the next division championship.

00:15:18Gia Miller is standing by.

00:15:36Leon Slater in tag team action.

00:15:39Tonight, you have an opportunity at that X Division championship yourself.

00:15:44So, what does last week's victory mean heading into tonight's title opportunity?

00:15:49First and foremost, the headlines tomorrow.

00:15:51Least X Division-iest wrestler ever wins X Division title.

00:15:56Kid.

00:15:57Pulled a fast one.

00:15:59Got one over on me at the pay-per-view.

00:16:00But last week, I put him back in his place.

00:16:02Everywhere I've ever gone, I've stolen the show and won championships.

00:16:06And will continue to do so to the day that I die.

00:16:09Leon Slater is a hell of an athlete.

00:16:11And he can steal the show.

00:16:12I'm a fan.

00:16:13And one day, he's going to run this entire business.

00:16:17But right now, there's one thing he's not.

00:16:20And that's me.

00:16:21He's not him.

00:16:22Okay?

00:16:23Leon, you're not Nick.

00:16:26Last week, I beat Leon Slater.

00:16:34This next division, Gia.

00:16:39You just got real good, Gia.

00:16:41You make me sick.

00:16:45Feel better.

00:16:49Ladies and gentlemen.

00:16:55I am the personal cocierge.

00:16:57It is my honor and privilege to introduce to you, the Elegance Brand.

00:17:08Well, it's always a fantastic night when we can be joined by the one, the only, Elegance Brand.

00:17:20Look at how it glistens to.

00:17:21Like Tessa Blanchard, I hope the Elegance Brand is proud of what they did last week, intimidating Mickey, James Young's

00:17:28son, and then attacking the TNA Hall of Famer. We'll hear from the Elegance Brand next.

00:17:38Ladies and gentlemen!

00:17:44I am the personal concierge, and I would like to begin by apologizing for the absence of Miss Ash.

00:17:56Unfortunately, due to mental health reasons, because of all of you, and Mickie James calling her a mark.

00:18:07Miss Ash is not a mark!

00:18:15My elegance is, what do you have to say about that?

00:18:21I've had enough! Stop it! Stop it! Stop! I can't take this anymore! Ash is not a mark! No! Ash

00:18:32is my hero! She's my best friend! She saved my career!

00:18:38All of you! All of you! All of you are disrespectful! Just like that Mickie James!

00:18:47Speaking of Mickie James! Mickie, you had your moment! Your spotlight! Your era is newsflash!

00:18:57Mickie, it is now the era of elegance!

00:19:07Wait, wait! Do you see that? Is that, is that Mama June?

00:19:12Mama June in the front row? How can you even afford a front row ticket?

00:19:18She didn't afford a ticket! How'd you get in here?

00:19:21You! What are you flopping your mouth? What are you guys saying? My elegances, take care of this right now!

00:19:29I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!

00:19:34Mama June! Let me explain something to you! I'm talking! I'm talking! Don't be trashy!

00:19:42We are the ones with elegance! Beauty! And class! Something you don't understand clearly!

00:19:53Honestly, you sitting here right now is offensive! I mean, you can sit down! You don't even belong here! You

00:20:03know where you belong? A food truck!

00:20:09You belong in a food truck! You belong in a food truck! Do you chicks?

00:20:13All of you belong at a food truck! So do you guys! You all belong in a food truck!

00:20:21Do you chicks ever shut the hell up? It's ODB!

00:20:27I'm trying to sell some meat on my food truck! I'm begging Al and ODB's meat and greed!

00:20:35ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB! ODB!

00:20:39And all I hear once again, you all disrespecting my people.

00:20:47Just like you did back in Nashville, to my good old friend, the legend, the Hall of Famer, Mickie James!

00:20:57Wydaje się?

00:22:46Worst of the worst!

00:22:48Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight in our main event,

00:22:53Nick Nimmet, the Call Your Shot Gauntlet winner,

00:22:55will challenge Leon Slater for the TNA X Division Championship!

00:23:10Yeah!

00:23:11Here they are!

00:23:12Big night tonight!

00:23:12Yes, a big night tonight for you!

00:23:14You are the main event of Impact!

00:23:17Taking on Nick Nimmet, a former world champion,

00:23:20one of the greatest to ever step in the world.

00:23:22It's a real big one, man!

00:23:23Maybe even the biggest of my career, I'll be real, but I feel like I've never really got to thank

00:23:28you guys for all the mentorship and all the guidance that you've given me this past year.

00:23:32I don't feel like I'd be where I am now, and I definitely don't feel like I'd be an exhibition

00:23:36champion without you lot in it.

00:23:38So, I appreciate you guys always, man. Thank you.

00:23:40Of course, but you would be where you are.

00:23:41We didn't give you anything. No one has given you anything. You have earned everything you have, Leon.

00:23:48Yeah, man. We just helped you see it within yourself. And tonight, we'll be watching again, brother.

00:23:52I appreciate it.

00:23:53And we're going to be watching this next match, because it's a fatal four-way.

00:23:56And whoever wins, they get a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championship.

00:24:01Yeah, it doesn't matter who it is. We're always ready.

00:24:04Always ready, always watching. There they are.

00:24:06There they are. Names.

00:24:09Boy, the hotties, man. Wicked. Wicked.

00:24:15Leon Slater will defend the X Division title against the wanted man, Nick Nemec.

00:24:20I, for one, can't wait to hear from our reigning TNA World Champion.

00:24:24What will Mike Santana have to say after the actions of Steve Macklin last week on Impact?

00:24:30Santana is still to come.

00:24:31But up next, you heard him talking about it.

00:24:33It's a fatal four-way number one contender match for the tag team title.

00:24:38Next on AMC.

00:24:54We're back live on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC in Atlanta.

00:24:59This is a four-way tag team matchup to determine the future number one contenders to the TNA World Tag

00:25:05Team Champions, the Hardys.

00:25:07Now, here are the rules. These are the AJ Francis Memorial rules.

00:25:11Four teams will compete. Only two teams can be legal in the matchup at a time.

00:25:15Only one member of a legal team can be in the match at a time.

00:25:19Competitors can tag Interout of their own partner or a member of an opposing team.

00:25:25The first team to gain pinfall or submission in the ring will capture a future shot at the tag titles.

00:25:31Starting things off, Travis Williams in BDE.

00:25:37Now tags to Judas Icarus.

00:25:40All these guys, young guys, looking for an opportunity to make their name here in TNA.

00:25:45Covered by Icarus on BDE and a kickout.

00:25:48Center and Sane have racked up a pair of tag team victories ever since their recent return here to TNA

00:25:54Wrestling.

00:25:54A lot of competition in the ring right now and the Hardys are watching.

00:25:58No doubt about it.

00:25:59Tag.

00:26:00The tag team division starting to really grow some legs.

00:26:03Hardys starting to grow some competition in the ranks.

00:26:08Hashtag TNA Impact on social media.

00:26:11Thank you for watching around the world and simulcast across AMC, AMC Plus and TNA Plus.

00:26:18The former TNA World Champion Rich Swann in control right now.

00:26:22No pun intended.

00:26:23Has taken BDE, the YouTube sensation, under his wing.

00:26:28Look Rich.

00:26:29A man who's completely turned his life around.

00:26:32Great awareness by BDE.

00:26:34He's legal.

00:26:34The cover on is broken up by Bear Bronson of the system.

00:26:38Oh, my God!

00:26:40Lights out.

00:26:42Just clipped Swann's wings.

00:26:44From the bruiser of the system.

00:26:48Now Judas Icarus doing the smart thing using Bronson's momentum against him.

00:26:52There's Travis Williams up against Brian Myers in the system.

00:26:56Look at this.

00:26:57Center and Saints starting to pick up a little bit of speed here.

00:27:01There's that teamwork.

00:27:03Williams like a missile wiping out Bronson and Myers.

00:27:08Everybody looks at inside the ring.

00:27:10Double super kick.

00:27:12Gotta keep your head on a swivel in a match like this.

00:27:17All vibes!

00:27:19BDE and Rich Swann are in control here in Atlanta.

00:27:22Wait, Tom.

00:27:23That leaves one team.

00:27:27Who haven't gotten into the fight yet.

00:27:31The righteous.

00:27:32Vincent in touch.

00:27:33Who've been fighting at the side of the Hardys.

00:27:35Vincent bit the bullet last week for the Hardys.

00:27:39Look at that!

00:27:40Dutch wipes out everybody!

00:27:42Look at that!

00:27:49What a steam here in Atlanta.

00:27:52Dutch, take a look at this.

00:27:54The human cannonball.

00:27:56Taking out everybody at ringside.

00:28:00This is awesome!

00:28:03This is awesome!

00:28:04This is awesome!

00:28:04This is the competition.

00:28:06This is awesome!

00:28:07In the TNA Tag Team Division.

00:28:09BDE crumpled center of the ring.

00:28:12Vincent trying to score the number one contendership and a kick out.

00:28:15How do you think the Righteous would feel facing the Hardys again for the tag titles?

00:28:19That relationship has changed.

00:28:21It very, very much has from way back at Genesis.

00:28:24A totally different vibe.

00:28:26No pun intended, BDE, between the Righteous and the Hardys.

00:28:31Now the system leg on a choke bomb.

00:28:33Bronson's won plenty of matches with this, but Vincent able to stay in it.

00:28:38Shout at the tag team titles on the line.

00:28:40Can motivate a lot of men.

00:28:42And there you see the GOATs themselves.

00:28:44The tag team champions, Matt and Jeff, watching on who will be their next contender.

00:28:50As of this coming Tuesday, the Hardys will have passed the Good Brothers and LAX's Santana and Ortiz consecutively

00:29:00and become the second longest reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions of all time behind only the North.

00:29:07Josh Alexander and Ethan Page.

00:29:09The Hardys would have to hold the titles well into August to eclipse the North.

00:29:14That is a tall order considering the level of competition we're seeing even in this matchup right now, but that

00:29:21remains to be seen.

00:29:24Talk about tag team expertise.

00:29:26Brian Myers, who now has his former student Bear Bronson by his side in the system and as a tag

00:29:32team partner, that's a dangerous combo.

00:29:34Smart there by the system go after the largest man in the matchup.

00:29:37We saw the effect Dutch can have just moments ago.

00:29:41Oh, now Vincent two for one with a neck breaker.

00:29:45We kick things off for the championship matchup.

00:29:48Ariana Grace able to survive.

00:29:50Jodi Threat with her Knockouts World Championship.

00:29:53Still to come tonight in our main event.

00:29:55Mick Nemeth challenges Leon Slater for the X Division title.

00:30:01Rich Swann here trying to turn this match up on its head.

00:30:08Oh, kick right to the side of the head.

00:30:11Swann is going to work.

00:30:12The former TNA World Champion taking off center at site.

00:30:17And Rich Swann has come to life.

00:30:19It's in and up.

00:30:20Swann's a former X Division champion.

00:30:22If he and BDE could have the tag titles, it's a triple crown champ.

00:30:25If he keeps this kind of momentum up, look at this.

00:30:29He might just do it.

00:30:31Swann, competing alongside BDE.

00:30:34We're in BD's hometown of Atlanta.

00:30:37Rocking Falcons colors.

00:30:39Oh!

00:30:41Oh, what a knee strike.

00:30:43That's why Sitter and Saint are so dangerous.

00:30:46We've been teaming together a long time, both here and outside of TNA.

00:30:50Good God!

00:30:52Brain Buster!

00:30:53Here's the cover.

00:30:54Can they get a shot at the tag titles and a kick out?

00:30:57Wow!

00:30:59This is what TNA Wrestling was built upon.

00:31:02Legendary tag teams.

00:31:04No doubt about it.

00:31:07Look at that.

00:31:09Tried the assist there from Akeris to Williams.

00:31:12Now the tag to BDE.

00:31:14Oh, a little misfire there.

00:31:15Now BDE and the ATL going to work in its center and Saint.

00:31:20Look at this.

00:31:21Oh!

00:31:22Falcon Arrow.

00:31:23And in swung and a title shot and a kick out there by Williams.

00:31:27BDE still needs that first big win here in TNA.

00:31:31Can this be it?

00:31:32Oh, it was gone for the clip cutter.

00:31:34Caught by Williams.

00:31:37High speed here.

00:31:38Oh!

00:31:38Both men meeting in the middle.

00:31:41Very well, you're a former NXT Tag Team Champion.

00:31:44How do you navigate a four-way tag team matchup like this?

00:31:47You've got to have an eye on opportunities like that.

00:31:50Even though you've given up your opportunity to win the match, you've got to recover.

00:31:54You've got to find an opening.

00:31:55You have to elect to tag someone that isn't your partner to survive.

00:31:59Well on.

00:32:00BDE nearly surprised.

00:32:01Vincent got a pump kick.

00:32:04But now the door is open for the righteous here.

00:32:08Oh!

00:32:08There's the cover.

00:32:09Is this enough?

00:32:11Oh no, it's broken up by everyone.

00:32:14And that's what a shot at the tag team titles.

00:32:17A shot at the Hardys means to this division.

00:32:24Everybody's town in this four-way matchup.

00:32:27Who will become the future number one contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Champions?

00:32:32Matt and Jeff Hardy.

00:32:34Look at this.

00:32:35Oh!

00:32:35Jeff walks!

00:32:39And a Meyer sending touch to the outside.

00:32:42Look at this.

00:32:43The fireworks begin here.

00:32:45Oh!

00:32:46Teamwork by Center and Saint.

00:32:47This time it connects.

00:32:52Look out.

00:32:53Line it up.

00:32:54BDE and Swan.

00:32:56A double clip cutter.

00:33:01The action does not stop.

00:33:05Oh!

00:33:06A DDT and a flat liner by Vincent.

00:33:09Two for one combo.

00:33:10Now Vincent.

00:33:11Headed to the skies.

00:33:14Oh!

00:33:14And Bear Bronson's made a tag.

00:33:18Oh!

00:33:18Caught by Myers.

00:33:22Look out.

00:33:24BDE!

00:33:24Still legal.

00:33:25A spear by Myers.

00:33:28Now feeding BDE to Bear Bronson.

00:33:31Head first into the center of the ring.

00:33:35Bronson and Myers.

00:33:37And a challenging title shot.

00:33:41Here are your players for Vincent!

00:33:49Take a look back here.

00:33:51It came down to Myers and Bronson alone with BDE.

00:33:56And it was Bronson who put the nail in the coffin.

00:34:01That is how Bronson pinged Jeff Hardy weeks ago in an eight-man tag team matchup.

00:34:07The system have a future date with the Hardys for the TNA World Tag Team titles.

00:34:16We continue to pick up momentum on our way towards TNA sacrifice.

00:34:26What happened to us?

00:34:33We were meant to be the master of control.

00:34:36In control.

00:34:38By way of the staff.

00:34:42And then it all fell apart.

00:34:45Decay.

00:34:47Disbanded.

00:34:48The death saw.

00:34:50Hunt.

00:34:52But you.

00:34:53You.

00:34:55You were not.

00:34:58It's been started at all, hasn't it?

00:35:04It's not too late.

00:35:06There is a chance.

00:35:08It's still time to make things right.

00:35:12One last shot.

00:35:15To make things right.

00:35:27And we are back live on Impact on AMC in Atlanta.

00:35:32With the face of the franchise.

00:35:34Moose.

00:35:38I'm gonna get straight to the point.

00:35:41The one thing that pisses me off about the system.

00:35:46Is that they have the nerve to call themselves a family.

00:35:52The system isn't a family.

00:35:54The system is for individual guys.

00:35:57Who gets their feeling hurts.

00:36:00When one guy outshines the pack.

00:36:04You want to know what a family is?

00:36:07These guys right here.

00:36:09Is a family.

00:36:12I'm gonna tell you something about these guys.

00:36:15We were at the war together.

00:36:18Right here.

00:36:19In Atlanta.

00:36:20Frickin.

00:36:21Georgia.

00:36:26And I'll tell you another thing about this.

00:36:29Every time one of these guys made it to the Pro Bowl.

00:36:33I was the most proudest man in the room.

00:36:36Cause I knew I did my damn job.

00:36:42And John Abraham.

00:36:45And John Abraham.

00:36:46When you, when you make it to the Hall of Fame.

00:36:49Cause I promise you will.

00:36:51I'm gonna be the damn proudest man in the room.

00:36:55Because we shared so many damn memories.

00:36:58In that football field.

00:37:04And I know every single one of you man.

00:37:08Are proud of me.

00:37:09Cause everything I've gone through.

00:37:11To get to this moment right here.

00:37:13The face of the franchise.

00:37:15Of TNA.

00:37:17Right here.

00:37:17On AMC.

00:37:24Now the system.

00:37:26Has a new motto.

00:37:28You can't beat the system.

00:37:33Well I love a great challenge.

00:37:36Because starting next week.

00:37:37I'm gonna go through every single member.

00:37:41Of the system.

00:37:43And this is gonna start with you.

00:37:44Cedric Alexander.

00:37:48Cause next week.

00:37:50I'm taking you one on one.

00:37:52In the Atlanta street fight.

00:37:58And after I'm done whooping your ass.

00:38:02Bron Myers need your next.

00:38:05And I'm gonna remind all these people.

00:38:08Why one time in your career.

00:38:10You was once called.

00:38:12Edge's bitch.

00:38:19Edge's bitch.

00:38:20Edge's bitch.

00:38:22Edge's bitch.

00:38:23Edge's bitch.

00:38:24Edge's bitch.

00:38:25Edge's bitch.

00:38:26Edge's bitch.

00:38:27Edge's bitch.

00:38:29Edge's bitch.

00:38:32Edge's bitch.

00:38:35Edge's bitch.

00:38:39Edge's bitch.

00:38:40Edge's bitch.

00:38:42Edge's bitch.

00:38:43Edge's bitch.

00:38:48Edge's bitch.

00:38:50Edge's bitch.

00:38:51Edge's bitch.

00:38:52Edge's bitch.

00:38:53Edge's bitch.

00:38:54Współpracowałem się z tym, że w tym czasie dwa lata,

00:38:59zostałem załatwanym systemem,

00:39:01a byśmy stworzyliśmy legacy,

00:39:03a byśmy stworzyliśmy największą facetem w TNA historii.

00:39:09Ale z powodu,

00:39:11Majers,

00:39:13Eddy,

00:39:15to nawet nie wiedzieliśmy,

00:39:17do końca, że decydułem, że to, że to, że to, że to,

00:39:22Changed that.

00:39:23You asked me to sign.

00:39:25You asked me to stay here.

00:39:27You told me to bet on myself.

00:39:29So that's right.

00:39:30I'm gonna stand side by side with the face of the franchise

00:39:35when you destroy each member of the system one by one.

00:39:46Eddie Edwards,

00:39:48that means

00:39:50I'm going to beat the hell out of you

00:39:53And not only am I going to beat the hell out of you

00:39:56I'm going to beat the hell out of you

00:39:58In front of your wife

00:40:03And when I'm done with you Eddie Edwards

00:40:06I'm going to pack up the whole system

00:40:09And kick their ass out of TNA

00:40:13And like a good friend of mine once said

00:45:33Mara

00:45:34Shade

00:45:36Shade

00:45:37Has got plenty of confidence

00:45:38Stemming from her victory

00:45:39Against Ryan Nembitt

00:45:41Their hometown

00:45:41Of Albuquerque

00:45:43New Mexico

00:45:44Winning that street fight

00:45:45Matchup

00:45:46It certainly boosted

00:45:48Her stock in this company

00:45:49No I really thought

00:45:50They would end up together

00:45:52I was holding on hope

00:45:53But hey

00:45:54We move on

00:45:55Mara Shade

00:45:56Has moved on

00:45:58And again

00:45:58The tensions in the

00:46:00Knockout division

00:46:00Higher than ever

00:46:01Well still to come tonight

00:46:03We have a tremendous

00:46:04Main event on tap

00:46:05Nick Nembitt

00:46:06One of the best wrestlers

00:46:07In the world

00:46:08The Call Your Shot

00:46:09Gauntlet winner

00:46:10Is going to challenge

00:46:11Leon Slater

00:46:13For the

00:46:13X Division Championship

00:46:15It should be a stellar

00:46:17Matchup this evening

00:46:18And we're also

00:46:19Waiting to hear from

00:46:20The TNA world champion

00:46:22How will Mike Santana

00:46:24Fire back

00:46:25At Steve Macklin

00:46:26After Macklin's

00:46:28Actions

00:46:29Last week here on

00:46:30Impact

00:46:30I for one

00:46:31Cannot wait to hear

00:46:32From Santana

00:46:33A lot of weight

00:46:33On that

00:46:34Actions of yours

00:46:35Yeah absolutely

00:46:37We'll see that

00:46:37Later on tonight

00:46:38Right now though

00:46:40Do the

00:46:41Hottest up and coming

00:46:42Knockouts

00:46:43Are taking each other

00:46:44To war here

00:46:45Two

00:46:46Three

00:46:49Alayna Black

00:46:49Trying to lash out

00:46:51There

00:46:51Alayna Black

00:46:52Accused

00:46:53Mara Shade

00:46:54Of being a

00:46:54Quote

00:46:55Plant

00:46:55Here in TNA

00:46:57I understand

00:46:57Where they were

00:46:58Once upon a time

00:46:59In professional wrestling

00:47:00But the two of them

00:47:01Now have a great

00:47:02Opportunity

00:47:02Here in TNA

00:47:04And Mara Shade

00:47:05Calls herself

00:47:05A go-getter

00:47:06She's trying to rise

00:47:07To the top

00:47:08Of this company

00:47:08Meanwhile

00:47:09Alayna Black

00:47:09Was hand-picked

00:47:10By our

00:47:11Own

00:47:12Derria Ray

00:47:13The suit

00:47:14That's true

00:47:15The first major

00:47:16Signing of Derria Ray

00:47:17Upon arriving here

00:47:18To TNA Wrestling

00:47:20Was Alayna Black

00:47:21But

00:47:22To kind of push back

00:47:23Against that

00:47:24Alayna Black

00:47:24Has spent her entire life

00:47:26Earning

00:47:26Her opportunities

00:47:28That's the big

00:47:29Difference maker

00:47:30Between these two

00:47:30Is Mara Shade

00:47:31Like many

00:47:32I'm not necessarily

00:47:33Disparaging it

00:47:34Kind of brought into

00:47:35Wrestling from her

00:47:36Athletic background

00:47:37All the things

00:47:38She's done

00:47:38Her life

00:47:39Leading up to this

00:47:40But Alayna Black

00:47:41Has been a

00:47:42Wrestler's wrestler

00:47:43For many years

00:47:44On the independent

00:47:45Scene around the world

00:47:46And this is what

00:47:47Her whole life

00:47:48Has been about

00:47:49Oh

00:47:49Shade

00:47:49In pursuit

00:47:50Against Black

00:47:51Oh

00:47:51Face

00:47:52First

00:47:53Goes Mara Shade

00:47:54Into the apron

00:47:55It's veteran moves

00:47:57Like that

00:47:57That give Alayna Black

00:47:58The advantage

00:47:59In a matchup

00:48:00Like this

00:48:00And I understand

00:48:01Your point

00:48:02About Mara Shade

00:48:02Being a relative

00:48:03Newcomer

00:48:04To professional

00:48:04Wrestling

00:48:05But she's already

00:48:06Had a lot of

00:48:06Success

00:48:07In WWE

00:48:08And here

00:48:09In TNA Wrestling

00:48:10You know Alayna Black

00:48:11Remember when she was

00:48:12Visiting this company

00:48:13Early on

00:48:14Last year

00:48:15She just said

00:48:16Oh just give me

00:48:17A knockout

00:48:18Swirl title shot

00:48:19And she got signed

00:48:19By Daria Ray

00:48:20And she's

00:48:21Kind of the same

00:48:21Attitude

00:48:22So is she

00:48:23Working hard

00:48:24Or is she

00:48:24Looking for a handout

00:48:26A little column

00:48:27A little column

00:48:28B

00:48:28Look she's done

00:48:29A lot of work

00:48:30She's put that time

00:48:31In yeah

00:48:31She's got the attitude

00:48:32Cover

00:48:33Plenty of attitude

00:48:34Here's the cover

00:48:34And a kick out

00:48:35Call it

00:48:37A teaspoon

00:48:38Of earned arrogance

00:48:39If you will

00:48:40Wow

00:48:41You know what

00:48:41I've been lost

00:48:42Together

00:48:44Come on though

00:48:45Again

00:48:45Like I said

00:48:46There's a lot

00:48:46Of work

00:48:47A lot of work

00:48:47You people

00:48:48Don't see

00:48:48That's what

00:49:27Hannafin

00:49:27To kick him in

00:49:28While he's down

00:49:28They're in the middle

00:49:29Of a ticket read

00:49:30But either way

00:49:31Speaking of kicking

00:49:32Someone while they're

00:49:32Down

00:49:33Alayna Black

00:49:34Is Alayna

00:49:35Beatdown

00:49:36On Mara

00:49:37Sade

00:49:38Much of the last

00:49:39Couple of minutes

00:49:39Of this matchup

00:49:41We're being paid

00:49:42To go to Cleveland

00:49:42I have to put that out

00:49:44Touche

00:49:45It was a proud

00:49:46Graduate of Syracuse

00:49:47University

00:49:49A lot of history

00:49:50For a lot of

00:49:51TNA wrestlers

00:49:52In all the cities

00:49:53We're coming up

00:49:54Hopefully

00:49:54You will all join us

00:49:56In those towns

00:49:56Cover here

00:49:57Cover on Sade

00:49:58And a kick out

00:50:00This could be

00:50:01An important

00:50:01Match up

00:50:02Ultimately

00:50:03In the picture

00:50:04Of the

00:50:04Knockouts

00:50:05World Championship

00:50:05We saw the chaos

00:50:06Earlier on

00:50:07Tonight

00:50:07I mean

00:50:08That's exactly

00:50:09Where my mind

00:50:10Is going

00:50:10The competition

00:50:11We saw

00:50:11Directly around

00:50:12The Knockouts

00:50:13World Title

00:50:14Match

00:50:14All the people

00:50:15With claims

00:50:15And eyes

00:50:16On the title

00:50:17And yet here

00:50:18Also in the middle

00:50:18Of the division

00:50:19There's this budding

00:50:20Rivalry

00:50:21This high tension

00:50:22There's so much

00:50:23Competition

00:50:24In women's

00:50:25Wrestling

00:50:25In TNA

00:50:26Laying Lee

00:50:28As a contractual

00:50:28Rematch

00:50:29For the Knockouts

00:50:30World Championship

00:50:30Danny Luna

00:50:31Is owed

00:50:32A title shot

00:50:33Supposed to get it

00:50:34At Genesis

00:50:34Saw Indy Hartwell

00:50:36At ringside

00:50:37For the championship

00:50:38Matchup

00:50:38Earlier on

00:50:39This evening

00:50:39Sion Brookside

00:50:40Out as well

00:50:41Tessa Blanchard

00:50:42Joined us on

00:50:43Commentary

00:50:44And that happened

00:50:45Oh

00:50:47A shot

00:50:48Full head of steam

00:50:49Here against

00:50:50Elena Black

00:50:51The one thing

00:50:52All those wrestlers

00:50:53Have in common

00:50:54All those knockouts

00:50:55They are all

00:50:56TNA

00:50:57And they want

00:50:58To bring that title

00:50:59Home

00:50:59From NXT's

00:51:00Mariana Grace

00:51:01Sting blade

00:51:02There by

00:51:03Mara Sade

00:51:04Elena Black

00:51:05In a little bit

00:51:06Of trouble

00:51:06Right now

00:51:08Oh

00:51:08Frost body

00:51:09Off the ropes

00:51:10Nicely done

00:51:11And a kick out

00:51:12There by

00:51:12Elena Black

00:51:14I wonder how

00:51:14Daria Ray

00:51:15Would react

00:51:16To a loss

00:51:16For Elena Black

00:51:17Look

00:51:18Daria Ray

00:51:19Has been around

00:51:19The block

00:51:19More than a couple

00:51:20Of times

00:51:21She knows

00:51:21There's wins

00:51:22There's losses

00:51:22You get up

00:51:23You fall down

00:51:24And you come back

00:51:25Again

00:51:25But I'm sure

00:51:27Of course

00:51:27She's pulling

00:51:28For her first

00:51:28Big signee

00:51:29Yeah

00:51:30No preferential

00:51:31Treatment

00:51:31Like she's accused

00:51:32Santina Morella

00:51:33Of dishing out

00:51:34No she is all

00:51:34Business

00:51:35Tommy Bear

00:51:38Off the dropkick

00:51:39You saw

00:51:39Shade

00:51:40Tried to flip

00:51:40Elena Black

00:51:41There moments ago

00:51:42Was trying to

00:51:42Put away

00:51:43This matchup

00:51:44Black was able

00:51:45To scurry

00:51:45But Shade

00:51:47Is in control

00:51:48And it left

00:51:52Big risk

00:51:53Cross body

00:51:54To the outside

00:51:55There but

00:51:55It paid off

00:51:56Big

00:51:56From Mara

00:51:58Shade

00:52:01First time

00:52:01These two have

00:52:02Ever gone

00:52:03One on one

00:52:06Take another

00:52:06Look here

00:52:08Shade

00:52:10Flying through

00:52:10The sky

00:52:11Taking out

00:52:12Black

00:52:12And once again

00:52:13Oh

00:52:14This little dropkick

00:52:15There by

00:52:16Shade

00:52:18Is it enough

00:52:19Hook to the leg

00:52:20Cover on

00:52:21Elena Black

00:52:22And a kick out

00:52:23Remember these two

00:52:24Took part

00:52:25In the battle

00:52:26Royal

00:52:26At no surrender

00:52:27Last month

00:52:28Live in Nashville

00:52:29Which ultimately

00:52:29Yielded

00:52:30Jody Threat

00:52:31As the number one

00:52:32Contender

00:52:32To the knockouts

00:52:33World Championship

00:52:34Threat challenge

00:52:34Earlier on

00:52:36Tonight

00:52:39Zelena Black

00:52:40Now

00:52:40Trying to find

00:52:41Her opening

00:52:42Here

00:52:42What

00:52:44Canadian

00:52:45Destroyer

00:52:46Who's the cover

00:52:49Somehow

00:52:50Shade

00:52:50Is still alive

00:52:53What a

00:52:54Flurry

00:52:55From Black

00:52:56Who is none

00:52:56Too happy

00:52:57Take a look

00:52:58At this

00:52:58Running

00:52:58Destroyer

00:53:00Shade

00:53:01Was turned

00:53:02Inside out

00:53:02But not enough

00:53:03To put her

00:53:04Away

00:53:05Tremendous

00:53:06Toughness

00:53:07From Morris

00:53:08Shade

00:53:10Oh

00:53:10Hell of an

00:53:11East

00:53:11Strike there

00:53:12By Elena Black

00:53:13Shade's down

00:53:14Center of the ring

00:53:14What is Elena Black

00:53:15Thinking here

00:53:16However

00:53:16The referee

00:53:17Went to check

00:53:18On Shade

00:53:18Hold on

00:53:20She is just

00:53:22Infuriated

00:53:23Maybe doesn't

00:53:23Care about

00:53:24The wins

00:53:24Or losses

00:53:25And the referee

00:53:26Wait a second

00:53:27Disarming

00:53:28Elena Black

00:53:30Oh

00:53:30Wait a minute

00:53:31Beautiful

00:53:32What a plan

00:53:33From Elena Black

00:53:35Brass knuckles

00:53:36Trying to take a shot

00:53:38At Morris

00:53:38Shade

00:53:39With the referee's

00:53:40Back turn

00:53:40Elena Black

00:53:42Got Shade

00:53:42With the knuckles

00:53:44And Elena Black

00:53:46Is going to steal

00:53:47This one

00:53:47From Morris

00:53:48Shade

00:53:54Here is your winner

00:53:56Here is your winner

00:53:58Elena Black

00:54:00I'm sure Daria

00:54:02Ray's got a smile

00:54:03On her face

00:54:04Let's take a look back

00:54:05After the chair

00:54:06Got thrown out

00:54:07The knucks

00:54:08Came into the picture

00:54:09And right here

00:54:10Bam

00:54:12Right to the temple

00:54:14Right to the dome

00:54:15Of Mara Shade

00:54:17And Elena Black

00:54:18Walks away

00:54:19With a big win

00:54:21A matchup

00:54:22Where these two

00:54:23Knockouts

00:54:23Were looking to

00:54:24Separate each other

00:54:25Elena Black

00:54:27Cheats

00:54:28To beat

00:54:28Mara Shade

00:54:29I don't believe

00:54:30This is the last

00:54:31We'll see

00:54:32For these two

00:54:33In the hunt

00:54:33For the knockouts

00:54:34World title

00:54:38Allow me to

00:54:39Reintroduce

00:54:39Myself

00:54:40My name is

00:54:41AJ Francis

00:54:43And I was supposed

00:54:44To have a big match

00:54:45Tonight but

00:54:46Lo and behold

00:54:47I done ran

00:54:48Somebody else

00:54:48Out of TNA

00:54:49And I hate the fact

00:54:51That we're in

00:54:52Atlanta anyway

00:54:53See the last time

00:54:54I was in Atlanta

00:54:55I lost my opportunity

00:54:56At the TNA

00:54:57World title

00:54:58But that makes sense

00:55:00Because Atlanta

00:55:01Is a town

00:55:02Full of losers

00:55:03The Braves

00:55:04Are losers

00:55:05The Falcons

00:55:06Are losers

00:55:06And don't even

00:55:07Get me started

00:55:08On those losers

00:55:09The Atlanta Hawks

00:55:11Sounds like

00:55:12You got a problem

00:55:13With my hometown

00:55:13Man

00:55:15Which means

00:55:15You got a problem

00:55:16With me man

00:55:17Are you serious

00:55:18Yeah

00:55:19You came out here

00:55:20In this chocolate

00:55:21Thunder jersey

00:55:23Why don't you

00:55:23Go somewhere else

00:55:24Before you get

00:55:24Dumped

00:55:31See

00:55:33All I do

00:55:34Is get people

00:55:35Out of TNA

00:55:56Welcome to the show of shows

00:55:58Welcome to the

00:56:00Key speech

00:56:04Now I am your host

00:56:05The king of TNA

00:56:06Frankie Kazarian

00:56:06And you know

00:56:07Just a couple weeks ago

00:56:08I was here in Atlanta

00:56:10Right down the road

00:56:10On Monday Night Raw

00:56:11Honoring my friend

00:56:12AJ Styles

00:56:18And I'm back here tonight

00:56:19And I gotta tell you

00:56:22AJ Styles

00:56:25AJ Styles

00:56:29All right we get it

00:56:30He was okay

00:56:30He was all right

00:56:32You know being in Atlanta

00:56:33Twice in two weeks

00:56:35I feel dirty

00:56:38Seriously I don't know

00:56:39How you guys do this

00:56:40Hopefully there's some type of cream

00:56:42Or ointment I can take

00:56:45Anyways you know it was a couple weeks ago

00:56:47Where TNA presented the first ever

00:56:49Guitar case casket match

00:56:51And it was a brutal encounter

00:56:53Where one man was literally locked

00:56:54In a casket

00:56:56And one man emerged

00:56:57Victorious

00:56:58And that man is my guest

00:57:00So please welcome

00:57:01To the king's speech

00:57:02Elijah

00:57:13Ladies and gentlemen

00:57:15From the open roads

00:57:16To the bright lights

00:57:18He's the man with a song in his soul

00:57:20And fire in his face

00:57:23The king of the sixth string

00:57:25The mystic cowboy prophet

00:57:28The drifter

00:57:29Give it up

00:57:30For the one

00:57:31And only

00:57:35Elijah

00:57:37Elijah

00:57:40Defeated Mustafa Ali

00:57:42In the first ever

00:57:43Guitar case casket match

00:57:46On impact in Nashville

00:57:48Ali's not been heard from since

00:57:50But is expected back

00:57:52Next week

00:57:53An absolutely chaotic affair

00:57:55One for the ages

00:57:57No doubt about that

00:58:00Welcome to the deep streets

00:58:02Now as a man who has

00:58:03Pioneered many matches

00:58:05Here I have to tell you

00:58:06That guitar case casket match

00:58:08That was an instant classic

00:58:14So please

00:58:15You're obviously a very

00:58:16Intelligent man

00:58:19Smartin us up

00:58:20Tell all these marks

00:58:20Your thoughts on that match

00:58:26I knew what Frankie was doing

00:58:28And I didn't trust him

00:58:29For a second

00:58:31I mean he wants to ask

00:58:32Some questions

00:58:33That's okay

00:58:33But he didn't realize

00:58:34That I have one question

00:58:36To everybody here

00:58:38In Atlantic tonight

00:58:41Who wants to walk

00:58:43With Elijah

00:59:10I would rather walk over broken glass

00:59:14To walk with Elijah

00:59:19Anyways by the way

00:59:20That scarf

00:59:20Not a good look for you

00:59:21Anyways

00:59:22I know a match like that

00:59:24Changes a man

00:59:25So why don't you tell us

00:59:26How has this changed you

00:59:27And your path

00:59:28For example

00:59:29I am a Grand Slam champion

00:59:32I've won every title

00:59:33Here in TNA

00:59:35Obviously you know that

00:59:36Being the big Frankie

00:59:37Kazarian fan that you are

00:59:40To whereas you

00:59:43You've yet to win

00:59:44Any titles here

00:59:46So tell me

00:59:47Has this put you on a path

00:59:48To maybe

00:59:49Someday try to maybe

00:59:50Become a champion

00:59:51Probably not

00:59:52Maybe try

00:59:53Sorta

00:59:53Kinda

00:59:53What do you think?

00:59:59I wasn't gonna use the mic

01:00:01That he put right in my face

01:00:02That'd be ridiculous

01:00:03Now

01:00:03The guitar case

01:00:05Casket match

01:00:06Was history

01:00:07Making

01:00:09Truly

01:00:12Truly

01:00:13That will change

01:00:14A man

01:00:15I can tell you

01:00:16Ali

01:00:16Will never be

01:00:17The same again

01:00:19But

01:00:20When I closed

01:00:21That casket shut

01:00:22I closed the chapter

01:00:24On Ali

01:00:24In order for

01:00:25For good

01:00:26Now

01:00:27It is on

01:00:28To the horizon

01:00:29Because he found out

01:00:31What everyone here knows

01:00:32That in TNA

01:00:34We walk

01:00:36This

01:00:36Way

01:00:38I said in TNA

01:00:40We

01:00:41Walk

01:00:42This

01:00:43Way

01:00:46No, no, no

01:00:47If you're gonna go into business

01:00:48For yourself

01:00:48Go ahead

01:00:49Talk to these idiots

01:00:50See if I care

01:00:52Go ahead

01:00:53Go ahead

01:00:54Mark Twain

01:00:55Go ahead

01:00:59I would love to talk to you guys

01:01:01Matter of fact

01:01:01You don't come on my show

01:01:03And disrespect me

01:01:04Do you understand?

01:01:05Huh?

01:01:06Do you understand?

01:01:06Do you know who I am?

01:01:09I'm a king

01:01:10I am the man

01:01:12That's responsible

01:01:15What the hell

01:01:16There's a savage fight

01:01:17Going on

01:01:18Between the hometown man

01:01:19And AJ Francis

01:01:20On the stage

01:01:21They've been going this whole time

01:01:22Through the commercial break

01:01:25Oh

01:01:27Home town man

01:01:28Rocking and Dominic

01:01:29Brokenster is in

01:01:30His hometown of Atlanta

01:01:36Oh, it's interrupting

01:01:37Frankie Kazarian's

01:01:39King speech

01:01:40Oh my god

01:01:41Is it time

01:01:42For a down payment

01:01:43On the stage

01:01:45Wait, no, no, no

01:01:46Not into the paper

01:01:47Oh my god

01:01:50Watch out

01:01:51Watch out

01:01:51Hey, hey, hey

01:01:52Watch out

01:01:52Let me in

01:01:53Let me in here

01:01:56Good

01:01:57Good

01:01:57You okay?

01:01:58I'm happy that happened

01:02:01Are you kidding me?

01:02:02Are you okay?

01:02:03Jeez

01:02:22I hope you win

01:02:43Tommy, where is she?

01:02:45Where is she coming?

01:02:46Why is it so uncomfortably cold in here?

01:02:49This is what she does

01:02:50Trust me

01:02:51She's different

01:02:54Carlos, darling

01:02:55It's so good to see you

01:02:58Where did Tommy go?

01:02:59Tom

01:03:00Tommy's got so many things to take care of

01:03:02But you, you and us

01:03:04We only have one

01:03:05This matter of a contract, darling

01:03:07But, but Rosemary

01:03:08I think we emailed all of this to you before

01:03:11Where we're from

01:03:13Emails don't exactly work

01:03:15All of the time

01:03:16This is much more reliable

01:03:17Plus, we prefer to do things in person

01:03:19Okay, so everything's in here

01:03:22I guess if Tommy's seen it

01:03:24He looked it over

01:03:25He approved everything

01:03:26You've nothing to worry about

01:03:28Where we're

01:03:28I guess we can go ahead and sign it then

01:03:30Perfect

01:03:31Do you have a pen?

01:03:32Uh, yeah

01:03:33Yeah, yeah

01:03:33Um, oh, where are my, where are my pen?

01:03:36That is strange

01:03:37Here

01:03:40Use office

01:03:40Oh, wait

01:03:44That's a different kind of ink

01:03:45You've never really seen that before

01:03:59Perfect

01:04:00All taken care of

01:04:02Thank you very much

01:04:03Oh, thank you

01:04:03It's been really a pleasure to do business with you

01:04:05I think we're going to always be happy to have you on the team at TNA

01:04:08You had no idea

01:04:10You had no idea

01:04:20Silly little humans

01:04:22Tricks

01:04:23Are for demons

01:04:29Oh, what?

01:04:30We suppose you've got something to complain about, do you?

01:04:33That went perfectly

01:04:34Look

01:04:35Project Lazarus has been approved

01:04:38And pride

01:04:40You've been checked

01:04:41Off the list

01:04:43Once in down

01:04:44Six to go

01:04:48Now, granted

01:04:49The next one will be a bit of a gamble

01:04:52But we've got a few ideas

01:05:04Oh, my God

01:05:07And we are back here live in Atlanta, Georgia

01:05:10This is our main event tonight for TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC

01:05:19A contest is scheduled for one call

01:05:22And it's for the TNA X Division Championship

01:05:30Introducing first the challenger

01:05:33Accompanied by his little brother Ryan

01:05:36From Cleveland, Ohio

01:05:39He's the one in man

01:05:42And Nick Nemeth

01:05:46Easy now, Mackenzie Mitchell

01:05:49That's Nick Nemeth's brother

01:05:50Now, Nick is the big brother

01:05:52Ryan is the brother

01:05:53He's a Hollywood star

01:05:55You know, he's in a new music video

01:05:57From the SNL director Mike Diva's band, Milk Blood

01:06:01That's the song, Joey Rubber

01:06:03He's the star

01:06:04Ryan Nemeth is the star

01:06:06And tonight, Nick Nemeth may walk out a star of his own

01:06:09As X Division Champions

01:06:11Great Nemeth who pinned Leon Slater in tag team action last week on Impact

01:06:22Okay

01:06:40And his opponent, from Bradford, England

01:06:44He is the TNA X Division Champion

01:06:49Leon Slater

01:06:53And his opponent, from Bradford, England

01:06:55He is the second longest reigning X Division Champion of all time

01:07:00Yet he is set to make his first defense of the title in roughly four months

01:07:06His last was at final resolution in December

01:07:09Unable to compete in his company for his short stint early this year

01:07:13Because of the international visa issues

01:07:16He's had tremendous opportunities in WWE

01:07:19But now Leon Slater has to duplicate what he did at no surrender

01:07:23That Nashville, he pinned Nick Nemeth

01:07:26Can he do it again?

01:07:28One-on-one with the X Division title on the line

01:07:31And that's the thing about wrestling, man

01:07:34Even for somebody as purely fantastic as Leon Slater

01:07:40It's like stallions, man

01:07:42You gotta run

01:07:43You gotta keep running

01:07:44And always be running

01:07:45If you stop for even just a little bit

01:07:47It can hurt you at the race

01:07:49And this, by God, is the race of races

01:07:52When you're defending your title

01:07:54This is TNA's signature championship

01:07:56The X Division title

01:07:58Hashtag TNA Impact

01:08:00Now trending on social media

01:08:01Thank you for tuning in

01:08:03Simulcast live on AMC

01:08:05AMC Plus and around the world

01:08:08On TNA Plus

01:08:09The last time these two went one-on-one

01:08:11Was early on last year

01:08:13Nemeth defeated Slater

01:08:15However, there was involvement

01:08:16And interference by Ryan Nemeth

01:08:20Ryan Nemeth out here again

01:08:22Surely gonna be an X-Factor

01:08:25That Leon Slater needs to consider

01:08:26But outside of that

01:08:28This is gonna be a great wrestling contest

01:08:31Early here in a two-count

01:08:32An early two-count

01:08:34And that's where Nick Nemeth

01:08:36Is gonna have the firm advantage

01:08:37Not only the experience factor

01:08:39But that ground game

01:08:41The Kent State

01:08:42All-Star

01:08:44Hall of Famer

01:08:45That's right

01:08:46What is it about Nick Nemeth

01:08:48That makes him arguably

01:08:49The best wrestler in the world today?

01:08:51His ability to adapt to literally

01:08:53Any situation

01:08:54He can wrestle you

01:08:55He can fly if he really wants to

01:08:57He can outgrab

01:08:58He can strike

01:08:59And he's the smartest

01:09:01Right there

01:09:01He's one of the smartest guys

01:09:03In the entire sport

01:09:04Shot to the left knee there

01:09:06By Nick Nemeth

01:09:07Leon Slater has reigned for 228 days

01:09:13Caught him on the rebound there

01:09:15Leon Slater

01:09:1621 years of age

01:09:18He is the youngest X-Division champion of all time

01:09:21Oh there you go

01:09:22There by Slater

01:09:23And that's where Slater's gonna shine

01:09:26That pure

01:09:28Unadulterated athleticism

01:09:31On the move

01:09:32Slater

01:09:33Takes down Nick Nemeth

01:09:39And Slater is feeling himself

01:09:41In this X-Division title defense

01:09:44I hope he can keep that confidence rolling

01:09:48Tossing Nemeth back inside the ring

01:09:50Title can only change hands

01:09:51Via pinball or submission

01:09:52Oh wait a minute

01:09:54Wait a minute

01:09:54Ryan Nemeth

01:09:55Grabbing a hold of Slater

01:09:56The referee didn't see it

01:09:58Hold on Famer

01:09:59Nick Nemeth with the Famer

01:10:01Planted him

01:10:02Can he get the win here?

01:10:03Oh god

01:10:03Do we have a new champion

01:10:04And now Slater

01:10:05Able to kick out

01:10:07The X-Division championship

01:10:09Is on the line

01:10:10Live on AMC

01:10:21Nick Nemeth just scored

01:10:23A decisive moment

01:10:25In this matchup

01:10:26Courtesy of his brother

01:10:28Ryan Nemeth

01:10:30And that may have

01:10:32At least opened the door

01:10:33To a pathway

01:10:34For Nick Nemeth

01:10:36To leave tonight

01:10:36With the X-Division title

01:10:39That was a millisecond away

01:10:42From it all being over

01:10:44For Leon Slater

01:10:45Think about the moment

01:10:46He had at Slammiversary

01:10:47Last summer

01:10:48Dethroning Moose

01:10:50Capturing the title

01:10:51Becoming the youngest

01:10:52X-Division champion

01:10:53Of all time

01:10:54And being endorsed

01:10:55By the phenomenal

01:10:57AJ Styles

01:10:58That night in New York

01:10:59And a thumb to the eye

01:11:00By Nemeth

01:11:02I mean all that

01:11:03Stands true

01:11:04But tonight

01:11:05A lot of that

01:11:07Could wash away

01:11:09If Nick Nemeth

01:11:10Wins

01:11:11Boom

01:11:11The X-Division title

01:11:13Drop kick

01:11:14Here's the cover

01:11:14For the championship

01:11:15Kick out

01:11:16By Slater

01:11:18Slater now favoring the eye

01:11:20Kick to the left knee

01:11:21Early on

01:11:22By Nick Nemeth

01:11:23The wanted man

01:11:25Trying to dissect

01:11:26The champion

01:11:27That's exactly

01:11:28What Nick Nemeth

01:11:29Is so adept at

01:11:32Again

01:11:33One of the smartest

01:11:34Players in the game

01:11:36Slater

01:11:39Literally turned upside down

01:11:41By the wanted man

01:11:48And you see Slater

01:11:50They're grasping

01:11:50At his

01:11:52His trapezius

01:11:53Grasping at his neck

01:11:56Could be a matter

01:11:57Of time here

01:11:58Oh

01:12:00Slater

01:12:00I believe

01:12:01Went throat first

01:12:02Into the barricade

01:12:03Now taking his shot

01:12:04At Ryan Nemeth

01:12:06The Nepo baby brother

01:12:08Of the call your shot

01:12:09Gauntlet winner

01:12:11That's a former

01:12:11Tag team champion

01:12:12You're talking about there

01:12:14I know what I said

01:12:18As Nick Nemeth

01:12:21Continues to dissect

01:12:22Every little bit

01:12:23Of Leon Slater

01:12:25Here on the outside

01:12:28Title cannot change hands

01:12:30Via count out

01:12:30Or disqualification

01:12:31Nick Nemeth

01:12:32Knows that all too well

01:12:34Decorated champion

01:12:35In WWE

01:12:37Triple A

01:12:38New Japan Pro Wrestling

01:12:39And right here

01:12:40In TNA Wrestling

01:12:45Nick Nemeth

01:12:46Nick Nemeth

01:12:46Oh and again

01:12:47A shot to the left knee

01:12:49One more title

01:12:50Remains for Nick Nemeth

01:12:52To grasp that

01:12:54Triple Crown

01:12:56Here at TNA

01:12:57The X Division title

01:12:58The World title

01:12:59The Tag Team titles

01:13:01Can he make that

01:13:03Come true

01:13:04Here tonight

01:13:04In Atlanta

01:13:09Shot right to the midsection

01:13:11There by Slater

01:13:13Arguably the biggest test

01:13:15Of his championship reign

01:13:17No doubt about that

01:13:18And of course

01:13:22We know waiting in the wings

01:13:24Eric Young

01:13:25At some point

01:13:25Has

01:13:26A title shot

01:13:27Ah Liam Nemeth

01:13:28Taking an illegal shot

01:13:30At Leon Slater

01:13:31The referee

01:13:33Was still with Nick

01:13:34Here's the cover

01:13:35And a kick out

01:13:38Nick Nemeth

01:13:40Once again

01:13:40Incredibly close

01:13:42To walking out of here

01:13:44With the X Division title

01:13:47How much is in the tank

01:13:48Of Leon Slater

01:13:49We've seen him go through

01:13:50So much

01:13:51We know what he's capable of

01:13:53But there is nobody

01:13:54In professional wrestling

01:13:56Who has the gas tank

01:13:57That the wanted man

01:13:59Nick Nemeth has

01:14:00Is now tearing

01:14:01At the face

01:14:02Of the X Division champion

01:14:06And this has been

01:14:07All Nick Nemeth

01:14:08For the last

01:14:09Several minutes

01:14:10But boom

01:14:13What a turnaround

01:14:40This X Division championship

01:14:42Against Nick Nemeth

01:14:43And Slater

01:14:44Delivers right between the eyes

01:14:46Since before the commercial

01:14:48It has been all Nick Nemeth

01:14:49But Slater

01:14:50Has come alive

01:14:51In the fourth quarter here

01:20:42With

01:20:42The

01:20:42TNA

01:20:43World

01:20:43Champion

01:20:44Mike

01:20:44Santana

01:20:57Hey yo Atlanta

01:20:58What's

01:20:58Good

01:21:03Let me keep it a buck with you real quick a couple weeks ago I came out to this ring

01:21:08and I let everyone know how fed up I was with Steve Macklin and how he didn't have the balls

01:21:14to confront me

01:21:15Like the man he claims to be

01:21:18Now listen

01:21:20Taking accountability is what's gotten me to where I'm at today and that's standing here before all of you as

01:21:27your TNA world champion

01:21:34And the one opportunity that Steve had to take accountability he decided to ruin it by putting his hands on

01:21:42that man right there Tom Hannafin

01:21:46Now listen Hannafin like myself has gone to bat for Steve time and time and time again but if there's

01:21:58one thing that I've learned is that you can't save everybody especially from the ass whipping that I'm gonna handle

01:22:08So listen Steve wherever you at I'm gonna play your little game I'm gonna give you exactly what you want

01:22:15so I want Santino to come out here right now I want him to reinstate Steve Macklin because I want

01:22:24to put my hands to work and show him what it's like to be a real man

01:22:49Santana I don't appreciate you trying to act like you run this show because

01:22:53You're just a performer on this show you do not run this show I do

01:22:58Shut up I'm talking

01:23:03But I do agree

01:23:05With one thing that you said

01:23:07I do agree that Steve Macklin

01:23:09Should be reinstated

01:23:12I think he's the epitome of what everything this company stands for

01:23:16I think he stands up for what he believes in I think he's strong-minded

01:23:22I have respect for that

01:23:25With that being said

01:23:27Right now I officially reinstate Steve Macklin

01:23:34But but but but

01:23:38When or if you face him is up to me not you

01:23:48This is exactly what he wanted

01:23:50This is exactly what Macklin wanted

01:23:53Funny how it works

01:23:58What's up Atlantis?

01:24:03Hey Dr. Nate

01:24:04You hear that?

01:24:05They know

01:24:06They know

01:24:08As a matter of factuality

01:24:11There is a date

01:24:12That has been set

01:24:14That has been approved

01:24:15When it comes to Mike Santana

01:24:18And Steve McClain

01:24:20Fighting one another

01:24:21And let me say it right now

01:24:24March 27th

01:24:26New Orleans

01:24:27Sacrifice

01:24:28And it's for the TNA

01:24:29World title

01:24:32What are we doing?

01:24:36Finally something we can all agree on

01:24:38But let me keep it up

01:24:40Up with both of y'all

01:24:41It didn't matter

01:24:42What any of y'all had to say

01:24:44Because I'll tell you this

01:24:48This is word to my pops

01:24:50That's watching over me

01:24:52As soon as this man steps foot

01:24:54In this building next week

01:24:56Is on site

01:24:58His bitch ass got a date

01:25:00With death

01:25:01Let's get it

01:25:12The way

01:25:14This is all panned out

01:25:19Yeah

01:25:19Fell right into the lap

01:25:22Of Steve Macklin

01:25:34I am still grappling

01:25:36With everything that's transpired

01:25:38Here on Being Told

01:25:39We have a replay

01:25:40Of everything that's happened

01:25:41This evening live on AMC

01:25:44Want to take you back

01:25:44To some of the action

01:25:45Here in Atlanta, Georgia

01:25:47Kicked off the night

01:25:48With a knockouts

01:25:49World Championship

01:25:51Matchup

01:25:51Ariana Grace

01:25:52Took advantage

01:25:53Of a pre-existing injury

01:25:54To Jody Threat

01:25:55Caused by Tessa Blanchard

01:25:57Grace was able to retain

01:25:58The knockouts

01:25:59World Championship

01:26:00Against Jody Threat

01:26:01In this four-way

01:26:02Tag team match

01:26:03Ultimately in the end

01:26:04It was Brian Myers

01:26:05And Bear Bronson

01:26:07Who punched their ticket

01:26:08To a future

01:26:09Tag team title shot

01:26:11And then it was

01:26:11The knockouts division

01:26:12Where Elena Black

01:26:14Through some

01:26:16Functional methods

01:26:17Shall we say
