00:00:00Went off the air live on AMC. More on that in a moment, but this matchup is underway. A non
00:00:06-title bout.
00:00:06This is Matt Hardy to start things off against Travis Williams.
00:00:10And you heard me mention it just moments ago. Again, also after last week, the system's Brian Myers, Bear Bronson
00:00:17had a title shot at some point in the future against the Hardys.
00:00:21But, as we often say, if Sitter and Sane can get a win against the Raimi champs, that puts them
00:00:27right at the front of the line as well.
00:00:29Last week, we saw a four-way tag team matchup to determine the new number one contenders to the tag
00:00:35team titles.
00:00:36To your point, won by Bronson and Myers. Sitter and Sane took part in that matchup and looked very, very
00:00:43good.
00:00:44When they get going, when they pick up that high-speed tag team offense, it is very hard to stop
00:00:50them.
00:00:51The Hardys are going to lean all the way into all their experience, and there's that speed that I'm talking
00:00:56about.
00:00:56And Ray Wall, your former NXT tag team champion, Sitter and Sane, they're on the come-up, promising.
00:01:04But when you step into the ring with living legends, icons like the Hardys, how do you handle it?
00:01:09You've got to stand down.
00:01:11Even if you deny it, there's going to be nerves when you're in there.
00:01:14Trust me, I've been in there with the likes of Jeff Hardy.
00:01:17It is an extra level of energy. Those nerves, no matter how long you've done this, are there.
00:01:22You've got to do your best to tap those down and go to your wheelhouse and do what you do
00:01:27best.
00:01:28The Hardys, four-time TNA World Tag Team Champions earlier on this week.
00:01:34They moved into second place all-time with the second-longest TNA World Tag Team Championship reign only behind the
00:01:42North.
00:01:43On the move, a little poetry in motion by the Hardys.
00:01:48There's a cover by Matt Hardy.
00:01:50Shoulders down and a kick out by Williams.
00:01:53Still to come here this evening, as I mentioned, a bombshell was dropped last week to close out Impact regarding
00:01:59Sacrifice.
00:02:00Not only was Steve Macklin reinstated to TNA Wrestling, but he's also going to be challenging Mike Santana for the
00:02:07TNA World title at Sacrifice.
00:02:09Listen, part of the clause for that matchup being signed, Steve Macklin has to apologize to me tonight.
00:02:16Regardless, still to come this evening, Moose to play for the Atlanta Falcons.
00:02:22Going to take on...
00:02:22Cover here from Williams to the Goats. No, Hardy stays alive.
00:02:25Moose is going to take on Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta street fight.
00:02:30Moose trying to pick off the system one by one.
00:02:33Meanwhile, Indy Hartwell will be in action.
00:02:35She is eyeing the Knockouts World Championship, trying to ascend.
00:02:41Cover here by Icarus to put Hardy away, but no.
00:02:45Meanwhile, AJ Francis will go one-on-one with Elijah.
00:02:48Some fallout from the King's speech with Frankie Kazarian last week.
00:02:52Also, this fantastic six-man tag team matchup.
00:02:55The TNA International Champion, Trey McGill.
00:02:58Atlanta's own BDE and Riff Swine up against the returning Mustafa Ali.
00:03:02And the great hands with order four.
00:03:06And also, it's the AMC and Impacted View of the international sensation Ricky Sosa.
00:03:15Telling you, in Atlanta.
00:03:16And he knows, Jeff Hardy has tagged in and turned this matchup on its head.
00:03:22The charismatic enigma is unleashed.
00:03:27Classic Jeff Hardy and the low dropkick there right to the face.
00:03:31Elbow drop to the heart.
00:03:33Enough.
00:03:34Cover.
00:03:35Icarus able to stay alive.
00:03:39Absolutely packed night of action tonight that you just listed off there.
00:03:44And what a way to start all of it here.
00:03:46And for the twist of fate, Jeff Hardy favoring his left knee.
00:03:50Sometimes it can be that simple.
00:03:51A simple turn of the knee.
00:03:54You've got to deal with something you weren't planning on.
00:03:57An injury.
00:03:58Dang, babe.
00:03:59Considerance ain't take advantage here.
00:04:01Big opening.
00:04:06Judith Icarus with a frog splash.
00:04:08Here's the cover.
00:04:10Oh, and it's broken up by Matt Hardy.
00:04:12Justin and Icarus, veteran instincts from Matt Hardy.
00:04:15They're now depositing Williams out of the picture.
00:04:20Look out.
00:04:21Side effect by Matt Hardy.
00:04:25Matt Hardy protecting his brother, Jeff.
00:04:29Now, could be just a matter of moments here.
00:04:34Jeff Hardy's going to the top.
00:04:36Jeff Hardy's legal.
00:04:38Think about the Swanton Bomb.
00:04:39But there's Williams taking Matt Hardy out of the ring.
00:04:42Icarus slowed up Jeff Hardy.
00:04:45Diving through the ropes there.
00:04:47Tripping up Hardy up top.
00:04:48That was a beautiful move by Icarus.
00:04:52And now Icarus went for another frog splash.
00:04:55Hardy still favoring the left knee.
00:05:00Oh, and now we've seen this submission from Jeff Hardy a number of times.
00:05:04He calls this the spinal destination.
00:05:08And they'll get a twist of fate.
00:05:09And there it is.
00:05:11And there it is.
00:05:12How about zero and safe tap to the Hardys?
00:05:15Here are your winners, the Q&A World Tag Team Champions, the Hardys.
00:05:25Oh, a hardy party to start off the night.
00:05:29Ultimately, it was, as you said, spinal destination.
00:05:32A twist of fate just to add a little bit of extra padding.
00:05:37And that is the win.
00:05:39The GOATs, the Tag Team Champions.
00:05:41We're in it.
00:05:42The GOATs are done.
00:05:43Oh, boy.
00:05:44Try to send a message.
00:05:46Swords have a bomb.
00:05:50And the party keeps rolling.
00:05:55Williams and Icarus certainly got the Hardys in some mood tonight.
00:06:02I think, Braywall, this was not necessarily about center and safe.
00:06:06This is a message to the system.
00:06:08Bronson and Myers will have a future T&A World Tag Team title shot.
00:06:12Oh, I'm sure their eyes are glued to a monitor somewhere.
00:06:15But look at this.
00:06:18Great sign of respect, however, between the Hardys in center and safe.
00:06:23Williams and Icarus, I believe, are going to do great things here in T&A.
00:06:28Oh, God, about it.
00:06:29The tag team ranks are strong in T&A wrestling.
00:06:37Tonight's main event begins Moose's trek to take the system apart one by one.
00:06:43And it starts right here.
00:06:44It is going to be an Atlanta street fight as Moose takes on Cedric Alexander in tonight's main event.
00:06:53Well, coming up next, we saw how Indy Hartwell had her eye on the Knockouts World Championship match last week.
00:07:00Indy Hartwell is in action next here on Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:07:08Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with the elegance.
00:07:12Gia, Gia, Gia, I want to talk about what happened last week.
00:07:15And ODB, ODB, you, you, you farm animals!
00:07:20You stay out of our business.
00:07:21And speaking of farm animals, I want to talk about that relic.
00:07:24Nicky James, you stay out of our business too.
00:07:27Stop riding our coattails and trying to get relevant again.
00:07:29That's not important.
00:07:30What's important is next week and the in-ring debut of the greatest specimen in professional wrestling, Mr. Elegance.
00:07:39And I just hope he doesn't have to deal with one of those other old-timers from the past that
00:07:43keeps showing up to T&A.
00:07:46But Gia, I bet you think it's so neat that these former knockouts keep coming back.
00:07:52I bet you think it's so cool.
00:07:55Well, actually...
00:07:56Gia, nobody asked for your opinion.
00:07:58Your job is to hold the microphone and you don't even do a good job at that.
00:08:01I feel the need to interrupt.
00:08:05Hi, Goldie Loss.
00:08:05Hi, Gia.
00:08:06You know, I do miss this job and I miss this place.
00:08:10But you know what I don't miss?
00:08:11The disrespect.
00:08:13How dare any of you disrespect Gia or the knockouts who have paved the way.
00:08:21Women like Mickey.
00:08:23Women like ODB.
00:08:24Women who fought when no one was giving any, any respect to women's wrestling.
00:08:31Gia's doing an amazing job.
00:08:33And she's earned this.
00:08:35Something none of you know anything about.
00:08:40Why don't you step off before I make a call and bring back more of my old friends to remind
00:08:48you exactly where you stand.
00:08:52Weren't you, like, working here when I was four years old?
00:08:59Four years old?
00:09:01You need to just sit down and be quiet, kid.
00:09:05Because the adults are talking.
00:09:09What?
00:09:10Get out of here!
00:09:19All the Goldilocks!
00:09:21Hey, the elegance brand!
00:09:23Look who's on top now!
00:09:28Fumbling contest is scheduled for one call!
00:09:32Introducing first, from Melbourne, Australia, Indy Hartwell!
00:09:40There was a crowded scene last week as we saw Ariana Grace cut corners and cheat to retain her TNA
00:09:47Knockouts World Championship against Jody Threat.
00:09:50But it was the scene at ringside, Jill out of company.
00:09:53There were so many eyes on that Knockouts World title match.
00:09:57Indy Arwell, certainly one of them.
00:09:59But she was not alone.
00:10:01Tessa Blanchard, Leying Lee, Ziya Brookside, Danny Luna among those.
00:10:06It is a crowded field in the Knockouts Division.
00:10:09And her opponent, from Tampa, Florida, Kelsey Heather!
00:10:15Kelsey Heather ready for action here in Atlanta, Georgia, inside the Gateway Center Arena.
00:10:21Big night of action, still on tap.
00:10:23We saw the Hardys successful to kick things off in a non-title matchup against Center and St.
00:10:29There's the bell.
00:10:30Indy Hartwell one-on-one with Kelsey Heather.
00:10:33Hartwell, who challenged for the Knockouts World Championship back at Bound for Glory in October last year.
00:10:39Our biggest event of the year, and I would say her signature victory thus far in TNA Wrestling
00:10:44came at Slammiversary last July at the UBS Arena in New York against Tessa Blanchard.
00:10:51Now, you're just lucky Tessa Blanchard isn't out here tonight bringing up that old history again.
00:10:55I am happy to say it's her face and anybody else's face.
00:10:59Right now, Indy Hartwell, she's making that claim of wanting that Knockouts World title.
00:11:06But unlike many of the faces that were out here during the match last week, Indy Hartwell does not have
00:11:11a guaranteed match.
00:11:12She's got to punch her ticket there.
00:11:14She's got to get wins in matches like this.
00:11:16Oh!
00:11:17That's the one thing Indy Hartwell is willing to do.
00:11:21This fight happened to earn her way.
00:11:23She was a multi-time champion in NXT once upon a time.
00:11:27She's not afraid of hard work, like the Elegance brand, for instance.
00:11:30Oh!
00:11:30They're the hardest workers in the room.
00:11:32You don't even see what Finkelstein does in the shadows.
00:11:35Meanwhile, Ash by Elegance is in the shadows.
00:11:38Working hard on her mental health.
00:11:40Thank you very much.
00:11:42Kelsey Heather misses in the corner.
00:11:44Hartwell.
00:11:45Sweet Blacks, middle of the ring.
00:11:47Great counter.
00:11:49That is the experience factor of Indy Hartwell, no doubt about it.
00:11:53Can she put this one away and make the statement she needs to make?
00:11:57Oh!
00:11:58Double shot to the throat there by Heather.
00:12:01Left shoulder right to the midsection of Indy Hartwell.
00:12:04One, two, three, four.
00:12:06And Heather able to find an opening.
00:12:07Our referee, Michael Romo, applying the five count.
00:12:11Heather had to the count of five to stop.
00:12:13This could be the chance for Kelsey Heather to shut down any momentum that Indy Hartwell might have.
00:12:19Split leg bulldog there.
00:12:20Went for the drop kick.
00:12:25Hartwell can ill afford a loss tonight on Impact on AMC.
00:12:30No doubt about it.
00:12:31Again, with all those claims, but Kelsey Heather could make a huge statement.
00:12:36Defeating a competitor like Indy Hartwell.
00:12:40Love the confidence.
00:12:41Oh!
00:12:42Went for the moonsault from the second row.
00:12:44Hartwell.
00:12:45Great awareness.
00:12:46Able to get out of the way.
00:12:48Oh!
00:12:48And now using those long arms and her height, her socks to her advantage.
00:12:53Indy Hartwell is starting to pick up momentum once again.
00:12:57Absolutely bowling over the competition here.
00:13:00Picking the pace up.
00:13:03Spline buster center of the ring.
00:13:08Shades of the animal from Indy Hartwell.
00:13:12Can't you put it away?
00:13:13Herbst donut.
00:13:16Cover.
00:13:18Hartwell willing to climb to the top.
00:13:21Here is your winner, Indy Hartwell.
00:13:28Well, I said she'd string up wins like this.
00:13:32That's a good start.
00:13:33That's a good message sent to Ariana Grace, the Knockouts World Champion.
00:13:57Look, I didn't come to TNA to just have these matches and to just exist.
00:14:03I'm not the little kid who's just happy to be here anymore.
00:14:07I came here to become Knockouts Champion.
00:14:15And right now, the person holding that title doesn't deserve it.
00:14:23So, Ariana Grace, I'm not asking you.
00:14:28I'm telling you.
00:14:30I want my shot.
00:14:37Perfect.
00:14:38Perfect.
00:14:40Ha ha ha ha.
00:14:41Ha ha ha.
00:14:43Ha ha ha.
00:14:45Indy, you are so funny.
00:14:52You really think you can come out here and demand a shot at my championship?
00:14:59That's not how it works.
00:15:01Are you dumb?
00:15:03Are you dumb?
00:15:04That's literally what you did.
00:15:05You asked.
00:15:06Actually, no.
00:15:07You manipulated your dad into giving you a title shot.
00:15:11That's ridiculous.
00:15:12I won this, not him.
00:15:16Look, if you want a shot at my title, sweetheart, then you can get in line.
00:15:22Danny Luna, Tessa Blanchard, Lei Ying Li, they're all saying the same thing as you.
00:15:31But the truth is, you're not even close to being on my level.
00:15:39Wait, guys, hold on, hold on.
00:15:42She's right.
00:15:43She's right.
00:15:44Ariana, I'm not on your level.
00:15:48I'm way above it.
00:15:52And I don't have my daddy kicking down doors for me.
00:15:56I kick down doors myself.
00:16:00So add me to the list.
00:16:01Because sooner or later, I'm taking that belt from you and I'm becoming TNA Knockouts World Champion.
00:16:11Indy Hartwell making her intentions fairly clear.
00:16:15Listen, we know Lei Ying Li has a contractual rematch.
00:16:18Danny Luna is still owed a Knockouts World title shot.
00:16:22But tonight, Indy Hartwell made her case to the champion, Marietta Grace.
00:16:30Vincent, I want to tell you thank you for sacrificing yourself for us in our Magic Business System.
00:16:37Wow.
00:16:38No worries, boys.
00:16:40It was an honor.
00:16:41In fact, Brother Jeff, Brother Matt, we saw what you did out there for those two.
00:16:46You gave Sinner and Saint a career defining moment.
00:16:49Well, someone gave us a chance back in the day, and we paid for it.
00:16:53Right, and it was wonderful.
00:16:55Because you went out there, you sprinkled a little bit of that hearty dust on them.
00:16:59Hearty dust.
00:16:59And you gave them growth.
00:17:01You inspire!
00:17:04Well, that's our job.
00:17:06You know, we've realized after 34 years that wrestling, TNA, it's bigger than us.
00:17:12It's our job to pay it for them.
00:17:14Well, if that's what you think.
00:17:16But that's the thing about you two.
00:17:18It's the beautiful.
00:17:19You give, you don't take.
00:17:23But they're coming for you.
00:17:25The system.
00:17:27They're coming for what you two have, and they'll do everything they can to get it.
00:17:33But now, that we're a family, you'll never be alone.
00:17:38And know this.
00:17:40When you have one boot in the grave and the other dancing around the edge, we'll be there for the
00:17:46two of you.
00:17:47Again.
00:17:51I don't want to break up this little love fest here.
00:17:54Nice.
00:17:55But I heard you speaking about the system.
00:17:58And there's just, there's other teams out there that are coming for those tag team championships.
00:18:05He's talking about us.
00:18:06The Nemets.
00:18:12Boys, you two are making a very dangerous decision to disrespecting the goats.
00:18:21Disrespecting the Hardys, huh?
00:18:23I feel like that's almost our job.
00:18:24I remember one of us hitting Jeff Hardy.
00:18:27Who would?
00:18:28Oh, it was me.
00:18:28I pinned Jeff Hardy.
00:18:29That's right.
00:18:30He's right there.
00:18:31I pinned him.
00:18:32Out there we go.
00:18:38Well, speaking of the system, Moose is looking to take out each member of the new regime of the system
00:18:44one by one.
00:18:45Tonight, he faces Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta street fight.
00:18:49And not only that, it is A.J. Francis going one-on-one with Elijah after the King's speech exploded
00:18:55last week.
00:18:56Meanwhile, the newly reinstated Steve Macklin is going to challenge Mike Santana for the TNA World title and sacrifice.
00:19:03But he is contractually obligated to apologize to me.
00:19:07Tonight, but up next, it's six-man tag team action as Trey Miguel, BD, and Rich Swann take on a
00:19:14returning Mustafa Ali and order four.

00:20:04The following is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:20:10Introducing first, from Toledo, Ohio, weighing in at 175 pounds, he is the TNA International Champion, Trey Miguel!
00:20:24Well, Trey Miguel is having a bit of a renaissance himself, becoming TNA International Champion.
00:20:32And it was last week, he was trying to offer some veteran advice to the young BDE who came up
00:20:39short in that number one contender tag team matchup.
00:20:42Trey Miguel and Rich Swann offering kind words, and they ran in to order four.
00:21:00And his tag team partners, Rich Swann and BDE!
00:21:10Rich Swann on the right, former TNA World Champion.
00:21:14On the left, Atlanta's own BDE, the YouTube sensation with roughly 1.5 million followers on YouTube.
00:21:23And growing.
00:21:26Absolutely dream come true for BDE to step foot in a TNA ring, of course, and now teaming with someone
00:21:33like Rich Swann.
00:21:34But they got a big task ahead of them tonight here on Impact.
00:21:40What?

00:23:08and that led to this matchup
00:23:11oh my god
00:23:11John Skyler just
00:23:12ramping the end of the steel post
00:23:15Order 4 is out for blood
00:23:16and you have to imagine
00:23:18not only
00:23:19after what happened last week
00:23:21but Ali
00:23:21is leading his army into battle
00:23:24to reestablish themselves
00:23:26at the top
00:23:27oh my god
00:23:28the great hands just took out
00:23:30Trey McGill
00:23:33seconds into this matchup
00:23:36and message sent by Mustafa Ali
00:23:41the mantra of Order 4 has always been
00:23:44actions have consequences
00:23:46it appears there are consequences
00:23:48it appears there are consequences for everyone
00:23:49in TNA wrestling
00:23:50after what Ali suffered
00:23:52at the hands of Elijah
00:23:53to your point
00:23:54clearly coming out of that casket
00:23:57a different man
00:23:58I don't know if it's more focus
00:24:01if it's more anger
00:24:02more vitriol
00:24:03but oh my god
00:24:05Ali cut down BDE
00:24:07after a little flurry there in the corner by B
00:24:11you can just feel the intensity
00:24:14radiating off Ali
00:24:15more
00:24:15more than it ever has before
00:24:17quick tags made here by the great hands
00:24:20John Schuyler
00:24:21and Jason Hotch
00:24:23this is Schuyler
00:24:24knee in the face
00:24:25kick out by BDE
00:24:27Schuyler and Hotch
00:24:28they got in the face of
00:24:29Trey McGill
00:24:30Swan and BDE
00:24:31last week
00:24:32the great hands believe
00:24:33they should have been
00:24:34in that four-way tag team matchup
00:24:36last week
00:24:37that ultimately yielded the system
00:24:38as the new number one contenders
00:24:40to the tag team champions
00:24:41the Hardys
00:24:42I mean I don't disagree
00:24:43they've been around
00:24:44and been established
00:24:45far longer
00:24:46than BDE and Swan as a team
00:24:48who also
00:24:49hadn't won a match
00:24:50to that point
00:24:51I get we're trying to
00:24:52offer opportunities to people
00:24:54but the great hands
00:24:55they're starving
00:24:56we gotta feed them
00:24:57I understand what you're saying
00:24:58but Order 4

00:42:15a few
00:42:16and during my time
00:42:18here at TNA
00:42:20unlike Santana

00:42:30this one's for you
00:42:31old buddy

00:42:37our friendship
00:42:37had to end
00:42:39and I'm especially
00:42:40sorry that you
00:42:41put yourself
00:42:41in a position
00:42:42where you thought
00:42:42stepping up to me
00:42:43was a good idea
00:42:46if you were more
00:42:47of a man
00:42:49you would have
00:42:49taken that punch
00:42:50to the gut
00:42:52you would have
00:42:52stood back up
00:42:54and you would have
00:42:55realized exactly
00:42:56what I've been trying
00:42:56to tell you
00:42:57this whole time
00:42:59but you're weak
00:43:00Tom

00:43:02core pal
00:43:04so maybe next time
00:43:06you'll remember
00:43:06there's a reason
00:43:07I'm a former TNA
00:43:09world champion
00:43:10and soon to be
00:43:11two-time TNA
00:43:12world champion

00:43:14that commentary desk
00:43:27now that that's over
00:43:28now that that's over
00:43:28I find it funny
00:43:30that I've been the most
00:43:31talked about man
00:43:32in this company
00:43:33and I haven't even
00:43:34worked here for a month
00:43:36and now
00:43:39now I got a chance
00:43:41to become a two-time
00:43:42TNA
00:43:44world champion
00:43:48it's been a long time
00:43:49since I've been
00:43:50a world champion
00:43:51and the last time
00:43:52I was
00:43:53backstage politics
00:43:54is what took that
00:43:55from me
00:43:56and I've been fighting
00:43:57to get back to it
00:43:58ever since
00:44:00I've been fighting
00:44:02unselfishly
00:44:03without using
00:44:04my own personal life
00:44:05to gain the sympathy
00:44:06of each and every
00:44:07single one of you
00:44:08people
00:44:14speaking of selfish
00:44:16people

00:44:19TNA world champ
00:44:21what's going on man
00:44:24yeah
00:44:29listen I'm sorry
00:44:30I had to come to this
00:44:31but
00:44:32I saw an opportunity
00:44:33and I took it
00:44:35and I wouldn't say
00:44:36that you would have
00:44:37done the same thing
00:44:39and I knew
00:44:40that your ego
00:44:41would be what
00:44:41brought me back
00:44:42and I used that
00:44:43just like you
00:44:44use your addiction
00:44:45to make each
00:44:46and every one
00:44:47of these people
00:44:47care about you
00:44:51I'm not wrong

00:45:12these people
00:45:13on this big
00:45:13jumbotron
00:45:14so they can start
00:45:15to feel sorry
00:45:16for me
00:45:18or maybe
00:45:19I start to play
00:45:20voicemails
00:45:21from my dad
00:45:22so they can hear
00:45:22how tragic
00:45:23my life is

00:48:03Welcome to the cast of Tulsa King tonight to Impact on AMC.
00:48:09We're set for more action here at the Gateway Center Arena.
00:48:12This has been an eventful evening, to say the least.

00:48:28Boy, I've seen a lot of things. I've seen a lot of things.
00:48:32Holly Conn can't see. Scounder for one fall.
00:48:34Introducing first, from Pioneer City, Maryland, weighing in at 303 pounds, AJ Francis.
00:48:46Absolutely. AJ Francis, who got into it with the hometown man last week.
00:48:53But, Tom, we will not be alone for this matchup.
00:48:59No, that's right. We are joined, thankfully, by the man whose segment was unceremoniously interrupted last week, Frankie Kazarian, the
00:49:06king back of the day.
00:49:07Oh, so fun to be here. It's a real punch in the gut.
00:49:10You know what I'm saying? How you feeling?
00:49:12You remember that?
00:49:13Frankie, I'm having a hard enough night. Just give me a break, all right?
00:49:15We weren't even expecting to have you out here on commentary.
00:49:18I know. I'm the gift that keeps on giving. What can I say?
00:49:21Well, we know that Frankie Kazarian is going to have a close eye on this one again.
00:49:26The King's Speech, the best show in TNA history, unceremoniously interrupted by that wild brawl.
00:49:32You were just trying to get to the soul of Elijah at one point.
00:49:35Giving him valuable TV time. My valuable TV time. I graciously gave it to him.
00:49:39Right? Absolutely.
00:49:42Absolutely.
00:49:43Absolutely.
00:49:44Absolutely.
00:49:45Absolutely.
00:49:45Absolutely.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48Absolutely.
00:49:50Absolutely.
00:49:54Ladies and gentlemen, from the open roads to the bright lights, he's the man with a song
00:50:01in his soul and fire in his veins. The king of the sixth string, the mystic cowboy prophet,
00:50:10the trifter. Give it up for the one and only Elijah.
00:50:20Last week, Elijah was the special guest on the King's Speech, and Elijah wasn't playing
00:50:26into your style of interviewing, Frankie. I'll put it that way.
00:50:29I don't know how special he was. I mean, unless, you know, he really appeals to that homeless
00:50:33caveman cowboy demographic were always chasing, but I gave him, like I said, valuable television
00:50:39time, and he ignored me, and he got what was coming to him.
00:50:43But did he slip the lighting guy at 20? What was he trying to pull last week?
00:50:47Oh, no. I don't hang out with those people. I only hang out with top guys.
00:50:50Absolutely.
00:50:51I don't hang out with underneath talent.
00:50:54Well, either way, as we've mentioned, AJ Francis got into it over Atlanta and the hometown
00:51:00man's pride here, of course, claiming to be from Atlanta. Broke out into the arena here.
00:51:07Elijah tried to run off AJ Francis after he threw the hometown man into a pile of people
00:51:13at ringside, essentially.
00:51:15He had it coming. Let's be honest. You know, it's been brought to my attention that in addition
00:51:18to my wrestling paycheck, which is substantial, I'm going to be getting paid to do commentary
00:51:22because I'm so good at it. My only request was that I get paid twice what you get to pay.
00:51:27Get that?
00:51:27Thanks, Frankie.
00:51:28Yep, you're welcome.
00:51:29I'm glad that Matt didn't apologize to you like a man. That was a good apology.
00:51:32Like a man.
00:51:33Yeah.
00:51:33It was pathetic, Frankie. It was pathetic.
00:51:35But the man apologizes. It takes a lot of courage to apologize. Look at that.
00:51:40AJ Francis sent to the outside. First time ever these two have gone one-on-one.
00:51:44They tangled.
00:51:46Last summer.
00:51:46That's impressive.
00:51:47In a six-man tag team matchup, they were opponents in the ill-fated match on NXT
00:51:52that ultimately saw Elijah tear his triceps. Missed quite a bit of time.
00:51:57No doubt about that.
00:51:59I saw my tricep. I was at two weeks.
00:52:01And again, I just want to remind people, wrestled in a Texas death match with a broken hand.
00:52:06Just in case you guys still play nine screws.
00:52:10Absolutely.
00:52:10And a warrior.
00:52:12Ooh!
00:52:13How's your little belly?
00:52:14Did it hurt when he hit you in your little belly there?
00:52:16You little, yeah.
00:52:18Knocked the wind out of you?
00:52:20No?
00:52:21We don't like to talk about it.
00:52:22I felt bad for you.
00:52:23I felt like you shouldn't have been assaulted like that.
00:52:25But look at, you know, sometimes you get what's coming to you.
00:52:28And look out.
00:52:29AJ might get what's coming to him.
00:52:31Oh!
00:52:32Elijah with a drive-by.
00:52:33That's a good point.
00:52:34That kid.
00:52:35Sending the message right to you, Frankie.
00:52:37Focus on AJ.
00:52:38Don't point at me, kid.
00:52:40It's rude to point.
00:52:41Giving the king a front row view.
00:52:43I'm in his head.
00:52:44Look at that.
00:52:45I'm in his head.
00:52:45I'm sitting here doing my job very well.
00:52:48And I'm in his head.
00:52:49So, I mean, I'll ask you then.
00:52:50Before you were rudely interrupted last week as, oh, look out.
00:52:53What were you trying to maybe get out of Elijah?
00:52:56What opportunity were you trying to give him that he could have taken advantage of?
00:52:59As a broadcast journalist, I was trying to get his thoughts on what that casket match does.
00:53:05Oh, my God!
00:53:06A match like that changes him, man.
00:53:08And I know.
00:53:09I've pioneered a lot of matches here.
00:53:10And look at it.
00:53:11I'll be the first to say that match was an instant classic.
00:53:13No doubt about it.
00:53:13It's an incredible match.
00:53:14And I just wanted to see his thoughts on it.
00:53:17Watch this one more time.
00:53:19AJ Francis calls this.
00:53:20The right hand of God.
00:53:22That was all.
00:53:23That was in there like swimwear, baby.
00:53:25Now, Francis going to work.
00:53:28The 330-pound powerhouse in control of Elijah.
00:53:32AJ Francis is great.
00:53:33Just ask him.
00:53:35He will not be afraid to tell you.
00:53:37No doubt about that.
00:53:39And unfortunately for Elijah, he is primed and ready to get a little taste of something you and I like,
00:53:46King.
00:53:47Here's a little bit of Tennessee whiskey for you.
00:53:49There we go.
00:53:50There we go.
00:53:52I like that.
00:53:53I like that, Matt.
00:53:54That was good.
00:53:54Hell yeah.
00:53:55That was good.
00:53:56That's why he's the best colored man in the business.
00:53:58No thanks to you.
00:53:59Amen.
00:53:59Not in the mood.
00:54:02Take a look back here moments ago.
00:54:04AJ Francis.
00:54:06Boom!
00:54:06The former NFL defensive lineman.
00:54:09Deceptive speed and agility.
00:54:11AJ looks like he got his wrestling gear off a dead circus land.
00:54:13What's going on with this?
00:54:15He's trying something.
00:54:16Maybe he could use some fashion advice for you, Frankie.
00:54:19It won't come cheap.
00:54:20Trying to set up Elijah here.
00:54:21Maybe for a powerbomb center of the ring.
00:54:23Elijah.
00:54:25Tough.
00:54:25Tough to get up.
00:54:26Big and strong.
00:54:27Do you want me to talk to Matt before you?
00:54:29I want to get here.
00:54:30I'll talk to him for you.
00:54:31Do you want protection?
00:54:32Elijah, the weight.
00:54:33Elijah.
00:54:34I'm alive.
00:54:35Whoa.
00:54:35Look at the strength of Elijah.
00:54:37That is impressive.
00:54:39Oh my God.
00:54:40Oh, an Alabama slam.
00:54:43That is a 300 plus pound man he just did that to.
00:54:46That is impressive.
00:54:47The entire ring just shook in front of us.
00:54:51Tom, off here's bodyguard.
00:54:53Elijah on the move and a big shot right to the face of AJ Francis.
00:54:58Elijah's starting to pummel away.
00:55:00He's coming alive.
00:55:01He can't let him come alive.
00:55:02Elijah has plenty of confidence after putting Mustafa Ali away weeks ago in the first ever Guitar Case Casket Match.
00:55:12Good job.
00:55:13Kind of match that puts somebody on the map as if he wasn't already there.
00:55:17Good night.
00:55:18Ficious knee strike.
00:55:18Ficious.
00:55:19Big knee.
00:55:19Hook to the leg and a kick out.
00:55:21We saw how that loss affected the returning Mustafa Ali earlier on tonight.
00:55:25He came back at another level.
00:55:27Didn't get the win he wanted.
00:55:29But man, did he send a message to Trey Miguel.
00:55:32And now it's Elijah who's looking to send a message to AJ Francis.
00:55:37Would you like me to be your bodyguard, Tom?
00:55:38I would like you out of my life forever.
00:55:42You don't mean that.
00:55:43Come on.
00:55:44You say that, you don't mean that.
00:55:45You're just, you're speaking from your hurt, Tom.
00:55:49Somebody in this matchup is about to get hurt.
00:55:52Yeah.
00:55:52As Fran fighting up on the top rope.
00:55:55Elijah managing to get some distance, though.
00:55:57You can't let him get this.
00:55:59Hold on a second.
00:56:00It might be time for AJ Francis.
00:56:03Come on, AJ.
00:56:03Don't just stand there.
00:56:04You can't let him hit this.
00:56:06It's a walk with Elijah.
00:56:08Look at all the way.
00:56:11Oh!
00:56:12A destroyer by the drifter!
00:56:14Are you kidding me?
00:56:16That has to be it.
00:56:18It's gotta be.
00:56:19Oh my God!
00:56:21AJ Francis kicked out!
00:56:22The resilience.
00:56:23You gotta give it to AJ.
00:56:25That was a vicious move.
00:56:26This is incredible.
00:56:29The walk along the ropes.
00:56:31And then watch this.
00:56:32A drifter destroyer to the 300-plus pounder.
00:56:37But AJ Francis is able to dig down deep and stay in this fight.
00:56:41Get you a drink, kid.
00:56:43Get you A.
00:56:43Time out.
00:56:44Let him have a drink, idiot.
00:56:46Oh!
00:56:46And AJ Francis taking a swing at Elijah there with that bottle of A game.
00:56:52Elijah getting some hydration.
00:56:53Oh!
00:56:54Oh!
00:56:55The king did not like that.
00:56:58Oh, no!
00:56:59Kasarian attacking Elijah.
00:57:01The referee didn't see it.
00:57:02Look out!
00:57:03Francis with the down payment.
00:57:06Cover!
00:57:07One, two, three.
00:57:08Kasarian costs Elijah.
00:57:11Francis wins!
00:57:13Here is your winner!
00:57:16Hello there!
00:57:17Jay!
00:57:19Kasarian is pummeling Elijah.
00:57:21Can you blame him, Elijah?
00:57:23You're throwing that drink in the face of the king!
00:57:28Francis is more than happy to help Kasarian get a couple of cheap shots in.
00:57:35Hold on a second!
00:57:37Elijah stood up for the hometown man last week.
00:57:40And here comes the hometown man with a pump!
00:57:43We're going to pick up where they left off last week.
00:57:46He's a hometown man.
00:57:50He's a hometown man.
00:57:52Coming to the aid of Elijah, much like Elijah came to his aid last week.
00:57:58Well, something tells me that the king of TNA, Frankie Kasarian, is not done yet with the notorious attraction, Elijah.
00:58:06He's a hometown man.
00:58:10He's a hometown man.
00:58:14He's a hometown man.
00:58:18He's a hometown man.
00:58:23Shoot this.
00:58:25I'll shoot this.
00:58:27Hey, Leon.
00:58:29Are you okay?
00:58:30Does your neck hurt?
00:58:33You're talking to the doctors?
00:58:34Maybe you're trying to get out of this.
00:58:36Well, it's too late for that, Leon.
00:58:38You're a false prophet.
00:58:39You're a cheat.
00:58:40You're a liar.
00:58:41And I've exposed you for what you really are.
00:58:44And Daria Ray sees it my way.
00:58:47Sacrifice.
00:58:48New Orleans.
00:58:49Me versus you for the X Division title.
00:58:53I said the cleanse is coming.
00:58:55And now I prove it.
00:59:01Well, still to come tonight in our main event, Moose begins his path through the system as he takes on
00:59:08Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta street fight.
00:59:10But coming up next, he's become a viral sensation.
00:59:14He's a rising international star.
00:59:16Ricky Sosa makes his TNA Thursday Night Impact debut on AMC.
00:59:34Can you get a list on your ham and egger?
00:59:37Can Chico Santana win the staring contest with the sun daddy?
00:59:40Tag me.
00:59:45Mamarella.
00:59:46Hello, Swinger.
00:59:48Who's the new Rizzat?
00:59:49I mean, Swingerella.
00:59:50Oh, do you know who I am?
00:59:52I'm the Red Rooster.
00:59:54Cock-a-doodle-dizzle.
00:59:55I'm staying at the Safari Inn, Kate David.
01:00:02There.
01:00:03See?
01:00:04Right where he told us it would be.
01:00:05Who you talking to, Sherry Martell?
01:00:07You look s-sensational.
01:00:09No, I'll go heavy on the eyeliner.
01:00:12Jonathan Swinger, do not make us make your Wrestle House 2 Nightmare a reality.
01:00:18Oh, I remember you, Papa Shango.
01:00:20You tried to kill Dino, Canada's strongest man, for his virgin blood.
01:00:24Virgin.
01:00:27Bravo.
01:00:27Oh, we're sorry, Lawrence.
01:00:29Shop me.
01:00:30Look, I already told you about Swinger's Palace.
01:00:32Now, will you give me your divorce already?
01:00:33The papers came in from our lovely lawyers at Tark, Tark, and Tark earlier today.
01:00:40Yeah, retirement's been pretty good.
01:00:43Not bad.
01:00:44Not bad.
01:00:47I love this place!
01:00:49What happened to hot boy Saban?
01:00:51He got shipped up north.
01:00:52And this one?
01:00:55You mean Terry Gordy?
01:00:56He knows what he's doing, Daddy.
01:01:00Bro, do you know Bronco?
01:01:06Everything, everything, everything, yeah.
01:01:08Everything.
01:01:09You want to hold it?
01:01:10Yeah, everything.
01:01:10Everything.
01:01:11Oh, man, bro.
01:01:15Center and safe.
01:01:17You know what?
01:01:17I like you guys.
01:01:19You guys got guts.
01:01:20Hey, hey.
01:01:21You guys drive automatic?
01:01:22You driving automatic?
01:01:23Yeah.
01:01:24You ever been to Juarez?
01:01:26Mexico?
01:01:26No.
01:01:28We're going to Juarez, boys.
01:01:30Tell Bronco I'll page him.
01:01:31Come on.
01:01:31Center, safe.
01:01:32Let's go.
01:01:33So you're doing well for yourselves.
01:01:35Listen, Mama, I'm only here for two reasons.
01:01:38Chew bubblegum and take kizash from these Mizarks, and I'm all out of bubblegum.
01:01:44Well, isn't that perfect?
01:01:46Because if you were to give us the deed to your greed, we can see to it that you take
01:01:52as
01:01:52much kizash as you want.
01:01:54And Swingers Palace Atlanta Division stays open for eternity.
01:01:58That's a dizzy old daddy.
01:02:01Loosen up about 300%.
01:02:05Oh, gobbledygurker.
01:02:07You ever been to Magic City, daddy?
01:02:09There.
01:02:10You see?
01:02:11Everything went perfectly.
01:02:13That's two sins taken care of.
01:02:15Five more to go.
01:02:17Everything is going according to plan.
01:02:21You worry too much.
01:02:24Trust us.
01:02:27I almost get to talk to real people again.
01:02:29Okay, let me practice.
01:02:31Hi, I'm Allie.
01:02:33Oh, buddy.
01:02:51You're so loud.
01:02:53Let's go.
01:02:55Let's go.
01:03:03Funding Context is scheduled for one call.
01:03:06Introducing first, from Brussels, Belgium, weighing in at 100 kilos, Ricky Sousa.
01:03:32What a moment here in Atlanta.
01:03:36He has become a viral sensation.
01:03:38The rising international star, Ricky Sousa, makes his TNA Thursday Night Impact debut on AMC.
01:03:49Only four years in the business.
01:03:53But just recently, he has absolutely caught the pro wrestling world on fire.
01:03:58You see, we are far away from Brussels, but the people of Atlanta know him.
01:04:05And his opponent, from Boone, North Carolina, weighing in at 232 pounds, Brad Attitude.
01:04:15The man who calls himself the one star, the veteran Brad Attitude, ready to go one-on-one with Ricky
01:04:21Sousa.
01:04:22You can see Sousa's official TNA and North American pro wrestling debut on TNA Explosion on Friday, March 20th, on
01:04:33our streaming platform, TNA+.
01:04:39Oh, and Attitude taking a shot at Sousa right off of the bat.
01:04:45Again, just a testament to the way information travels, the way vibes can travel, the way somebody's legend can travel
01:04:54so quickly.
01:04:55This young man, 21 years old, look out.
01:04:59Shoulders down, trying to get the win here early, and a kick out at two.
01:05:02Taking the world by fire.
01:05:06Sousa, six foot four, a little over 200 pounds, his tremendous ability, a multi-sport athlete back in his home
01:05:14country.
01:05:15You know, I had a chance to talk to Ricky Sousa just a little bit backstage.
01:05:18I had to ask him what it was like to see that entrance, which is really what went viral all
01:05:23over the world and how he felt.
01:05:25He absolutely, as you hear it, to the beat.
01:05:30He was not ready for that.
01:05:32He was not expecting that to take off like it did.
01:05:35And quite frankly, he said, I was a little intimidated.
01:05:37I wanted people to know.
01:05:39Oh!
01:05:40And that right there, I wanted people to know that I could live up.
01:05:43Attitude into the cover here.
01:05:45Sousa stays alive.
01:05:47Hashtag TNA Impact.
01:05:48Now on social media.
01:05:50He wanted to live up to that hype.
01:05:52He didn't want anyone to think, this kid is just an entrance.
01:05:55But I've seen him work multiple times.
01:05:58He has got what it takes.
01:06:01But Brad Attitude going to push that.
01:06:03Now the veteran trying to spoil this debut on AMC and a kick out by Sousa, who's had a lot
01:06:09of success in WXW.
01:06:11Abroad has competed in his home country of Belgium, his birth country, the Netherlands, also France, the United Kingdom, Ireland,
01:06:19and Germany.
01:06:20Calls himself the Young Savage.
01:06:25There is a special crop of talent coming out of Europe.
01:06:29Of course, we know our own X Division champion, Leon Slater, Ricky Sousa.
01:06:33So many more.
01:06:35Also, the 21-year-old Leon Slater.
01:06:38It's incredible.
01:06:39And we've seen Javon Evans in a TNA ring as well.
01:06:43Oh, what an uppercut.
01:06:46Ricky Sousa, he lists the likes of Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Mooses.
01:06:52Some of his inspirations.
01:06:55Picking up big-time steam here.
01:06:58And now Sousa going up.
01:07:00Look at Sousa with a moonsault.
01:07:04Absolutely beautiful.

01:08:17Take another look at this.
01:08:18Watch the strength to catch this a couple of times around the sun here.
01:08:23Boom.
01:08:23Into the blue thunder.
01:08:25Bang.
01:08:26Oh, my.
01:08:28And just like that.
01:08:32Listen up, folks.
01:08:41Bang, bang, bang, indeed.
01:08:44Ricky Sousa has arrived.
01:08:49Well, we are moments away from our main event.
01:08:52Moose is looking to take out every last member of the system one by one.
01:08:57Well, we've just been informed.
01:08:58Perf Santino Marella.
01:09:00The rest of the system is banned from ringside.
01:09:03As Cedric Alexander must face Moose in an Atlanta street fight.
01:09:08Next.
01:09:12Next week on an all-new Thursday Night Impact.
01:09:15The king of TMA, Frankie Kazarian, faces off against the hometown man.
01:09:20Will it be doomsday for the Angel Warriors as they clash with Danny Luna and knockouts champion Ariana Grace?
01:09:26Plus, witness the in-ring premiere of Mr. Elegance.
01:09:29Who will stand tall as Elena Black battles the spark Jada Stone?
01:09:33Moose collides with Brian Myers of the system.
01:09:36And the Nemets face off with the righteous in a tag team showdown.
01:09:40On an all-new Thursday Night Impact.
01:09:43Thursday.
01:09:47Well, that'll be next week here on AMC.
01:09:50But two weeks from tomorrow, Friday, March 27th, we're going to roll into the Big Easy.
01:09:54We'll be live on TNA Plus for Sacrifice.
01:09:57And we already know that night, Steve Macklin will challenge Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship at Sacrifice.
01:10:06You can get your tickets now via TNAWrestling.com.
01:10:11But right now, right here, Moose begins his opportunity to take out the system one by one.
01:10:37The following is an Atlanta street fight.
01:10:57Moose has not forgotten how it was Alexander who had plenty of opportunities to tangle with Moose in the weeks
01:11:11leading up to the night.
01:11:13The fact that J.D.C. and Moose were violently excommunicated from the system.
01:11:18Moose wants to start with the man who Edwards and Myers handpicked to replace him.
01:11:24Little did we know what Cedric Alexander had going on in his shadows.
01:11:29But now, he may pay the price.
01:11:31Little did we know what Cedric Alexander had going on in his eyes.
01:11:39Yeah!
01:11:47Big Easy!
01:12:01And his opponent, accompanied by Alicia Edwards, he's the face of the franchise, Moose!
01:12:20Moose! Moose! Moose! Moose! Are you ready?
01:12:28Atlanta has been a second home to Moose last week. He had plenty of support in the form of his
01:12:34former Atlanta Falcons teammates.
01:12:36He was drafted by the Falcons back in 2006 and enjoyed a successful NFL career and has bridged it into
01:12:4510 consecutive years here in TNA Wrestling.
01:12:49He is a staple of this company.
01:12:51He is the face of the franchise for a reason. And Tom, I hate to state the obvious, but conspicuous
01:12:58by their absence, the rest of the system, we will have, you know, have been banned from ringside.
01:13:05So this will truly be a one-on-one street fight.
01:13:09Yeah, directed for Santino Morella. Cedric Alexander is going to have to go it alone. There are no countouts, no
01:13:16disqualifications. First man to game, pinfall inside the ring is your winner.
01:13:22Moose starting things off pretty quick here. Boom!
01:13:25Pinyar and Auggie now Moose setting up for a senton, crushing the chest of Cedric Alexander.
01:13:36This is just the beginning if it goes Moose's way.
01:13:41But at the same time, if Cedric Alexander can cut this off at the pass, stop Moose in his tracks,
01:13:48I don't know what that means for this mission of vengeance for Moose.
01:13:53Cedric Alexander trying to prove that the rest of the system made the correct decision.
01:13:58And you can imagine the way that Cedric Alexander's life has changed ever since he joined their regime.
01:14:05Yeah, this is a gigantic opportunity for Cedric to sit at the top in one of the most powerful fashion,
01:14:11powerful groups here in TNA.
01:14:14Cedric's been looking for opportunities like that for a long time. He ain't given it up without a fight.
01:14:23Oh, Moose taking advantage of the environment here inside the Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta.
01:14:31Alexander trying to block.
01:14:35Oh, who's going to get the advantage?
01:14:38Ooh!
01:14:41Alexander had gotten the better of Moose in a handful of matches in the lead-up to Moose's elimination from
01:14:48the system.
01:14:51Oh, look at the strength of Cedric Alexander!
01:14:59Take another look at this. Moose wanted to suplex himself.
01:15:04Alexander then able to step it off out here on the floor.
01:15:10Cedric Alexander taking opportunities now as a part of the system and happy to take that much more sizable direct
01:15:20deposit in the process.
01:15:22And now, Alexander looking for a couple of instruments of destruction.
01:15:30Yeah, but Moose is on, too.
01:15:35Alexander thought he had the drop on Moose.
01:15:37Oh, my God!
01:15:40Dueling chairs here out at ringside!
01:15:47Oh, and Alexander!
01:15:48Shot right to the midsection, but Moose responds with a steel chair.
01:15:52Doubles over Alexander and steel to the spine!
01:15:58Moose favored his lower back.
01:16:01He's dealt with injuries to that part in the past.
01:16:04This Atlanta street fight is just getting warmed up here.
01:16:09A Thursday night impact!
01:16:11Oh!
01:16:12Oh!
01:16:14Oh!
01:16:15Oh!
01:16:15Oh!
01:16:16Oh!
01:16:18Oh!
01:16:19Oh!
01:16:20Oh!
01:16:21Oh!
01:16:21Oh!
01:16:23Oh!
01:16:24Oh!
01:16:25Atlanta street fight, and now wandering over near the bell table, and Moose driving a trash can!
01:16:37Those big industrial-sized rubber trash cans!
01:16:40I think our announced has to suffer the death tonight!
01:16:44This one, I mean, we knew it was going to be wild.
01:16:46We knew it was going to go pretty much everywhere.
01:16:50Listen, I'm stressed to the gills beyond tonight, all right?
01:16:53I can't take much more of this.
01:16:55Moose, this is the home, this is Bad Street USA, I'll have you remember.
01:17:03Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose!
01:17:05And Moose has pummeled Cedric with that chair.
01:17:08He can take a little bit of time here, but not too much.
01:17:11Moose, and now Moose, and now Moose grabbing a hold of a steel trash can.
01:17:20Moose has thrived in extreme style of matches like this throughout his career here at TNA.
01:17:27No doubt about it, things like Monster's Ball, Concord Orange, House of Fun matches.
01:17:34Moose happy to rise to the occasion.
01:17:36The brainchild of the TNA Hall of Famer, Raven, resides right here in Atlanta.
01:17:41That's right.
01:17:43Oh, and Alexander disarming Moose.
01:17:46And that's what I meant by you couldn't give Cedric too much time to recover there.
01:17:54Alexander now driving Moose into the side of the ring.
01:18:01And the system banned from ringside per Santino Morella.
01:18:04Ooh, Alexander is holding his own.
01:18:10No surprise there.
01:18:13Well, Alexander, a former champion, of course, in his own right.
01:18:19Looking to make an impression here in TNA.
01:18:23And look at that.
01:18:26Alexander is not here to make the fans happy.
01:18:30This is about getting a win for the system.
01:18:36Now, oh, wait a second.
01:18:41Mocking Moose.
01:18:42Is Alexander...
01:18:44Is he thinking Spear?
01:18:46Oh, wait a minute.
01:18:48And Alexander got caught in the trash can.
01:18:50What the hell?
01:18:56What in the hell is Moose planning now?
01:19:00Oh, God.
01:19:01Don't you remember a couple of years ago, it was Sammy Callahan who had Moose like that?
01:19:06Moose hasn't forgotten.
01:19:08Turnabout is fair play.
01:19:12Is Moose the new death machine?
01:19:15At least...
01:19:17No!
01:19:22Moose broke the back of that chair of the trash can.
01:19:26Oh!
01:19:27Can only imagine the damage it's done to Cedric Alexander.
01:19:31Look at the chair.
01:19:32Look at how it's warped.
01:19:34I don't know.
01:19:34That made it to the...
01:19:35Busted the eardrums of him.
01:19:37And that concomitant's tube.
01:19:44Moose has firm control of this Atlanta street fight.
01:19:48Oh!
01:19:48Alexander a shot to the midsection.
01:19:51It's spoken too soon there.
01:19:54As Alexander looks to spoil Moose's plans.
01:19:58And do it!
01:20:00Oh!
01:20:00For the system.
01:20:03Steel chair to the spine there by Cedric Alexander.
01:20:06And a PK.
01:20:08Moose is down.
01:20:10It's not terrible!
01:20:12It's not terrible!
01:20:18And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
01:20:22This is our main event.
01:20:24Moose versus Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta street fight.
01:20:29Oh!
01:20:30And Moose has been in control for much of this matchup.
01:20:34But it was Cedric Alexander who threw off the break,
01:20:37was able to turn things around,
01:20:38and now might have Moose right where he wants him.
01:20:42Remember, Bruce Santino, Morale,
01:20:44while the rest of the system is banned from ringside.
01:20:46The only way to win this matchup is via pinfall or submission
01:20:49in the center of the ring.
01:20:51There are no countouts, no disqualifications.
01:20:53Moose avoids disaster!
01:20:55Ooh!
01:20:56Very, very close there.
01:20:58Great timing from the face of the franchise,
01:21:00but you see also he's been favoring that lower back
01:21:03since the beginning,
01:21:05since that suplex on the floor in the first half.
01:21:07Put right to the face.
01:21:08Hold on!
01:21:09Cedric Alexander goes to hell, courtesy of Moose!
01:21:14Is it enough?
01:21:15Cover!
01:21:16Alexander staring at it!
01:21:23Moose gonna have to go back to the well
01:21:26into the pocketbook,
01:21:28but let's take another look
01:21:29at Moose right off the top rope
01:21:32the go-to-her-o-planting Cedric Alexander.
01:21:36Reminiscent of the TNA legend,
01:21:38D'Lo Brown, sky-high.
01:21:41Moose has vowed to take out every last member
01:21:44of the new regime of the system.
01:21:46One-by-one!
01:21:48But Moose, a disaster!
01:21:50Going into the steel,
01:21:52stepped shoulder first.
01:21:54And the top of those stairs
01:21:55nearly exploded off the bottom.
01:21:58Moose is in a bad way here.
01:22:01Oh!
01:22:03Cedric Alexander was hand-picked
01:22:05by Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers
01:22:07to replace Moose
01:22:09because in the lead-up to the explosion
01:22:11of the old system,
01:22:13it was Alexander who had gotten the better of Moose
01:22:15in a handful of matches.
01:22:17And Alexander is showing you
01:22:19exactly why the system chose him
01:22:22for this role.
01:22:23Why he was chosen
01:22:24to take the place of Moose
01:22:26within the ranks.
01:22:40Oh my god, oh my god,
01:22:42and Alicia Edwards
01:22:43is there to protect Moose!
01:22:45She's got to be careful.
01:22:47I know she's no stranger
01:22:49to a hardcore war or two.
01:22:58That might be a take for this move too!
01:23:01for Alexander!
01:23:02Exactly!
01:23:04Oh, and Moose with a pump kick!
01:23:10Oh, now a power bomb to the apron
01:23:12where steel meets wood!
01:23:15Spine-shattering power bomb!
01:23:22Moose is failing it here
01:23:23in this Atlanta street fight.
01:23:25He's dealing with plenty of pain,
01:23:26but he keeps moving forward.
01:23:30Oh, there's no way.
01:23:32Moose making power bomb out here
01:23:34on the apron.
01:23:35The lower back,
01:23:36the damage that's been done
01:23:37to Moose!
01:23:38He's lower back!
01:23:39And now a low blow
01:23:40by Alexander!
01:23:43No disqualifications!
01:23:45No disqualifications!
01:23:45Anything goes!
01:23:49What is Cedric Alexander looking at?
01:23:51What is this?
01:23:55Oh god, not this!
01:23:57That trash can!
01:23:58Oh god, into the spine of Moose!
01:24:03Trash can stood vertically.
01:24:06The already injured back of Moose
01:24:07getting obliterated.
01:24:14Take another look at this.
01:24:16Look at the strength
01:24:17of Cedric Alexander
01:24:19jumping Moose
01:24:20onto the trash can.
01:24:22The cast of Tulsa King
01:24:23getting a great view
01:24:25of this absolute carnage
01:24:27out here.
01:24:30Cedric might have Moose
01:24:32exactly where he wants him.
01:24:35Cedric Alexander
01:24:37could stop this journey,
01:24:39this mission Moose is on
01:24:40before it even begins.
01:24:44What a statement
01:24:45Cedric Alexander could make
01:24:47considering the rest of the system
01:24:49is banned from ringside.
01:24:50If Alexander could get
01:24:51the job done on his own,
01:24:53imagine the confidence
01:24:55that Bronson, Myers, and Edwards
01:24:57would have in Alexander.
01:25:01Alexander
01:25:06once again
01:25:06not going to give these people
01:25:08what they want.
01:25:09He's got his own designs.
01:25:14All of these steel chairs
01:25:15in the center of the ring.
01:25:17The only place
01:25:19who this match
01:25:19can come to a decision.
01:25:23Moose laid out
01:25:25on a couple of those chairs.
01:25:26Cedric Alexander
01:25:31Wait a second.
01:25:32Hold on.
01:25:33Moose was lying in wait.
01:25:36Moose was waiting
01:25:37for an opportunity.
01:25:41Now all dangerous territory here.
01:25:45All the way up top.
01:25:47Superplex into the chairs.
01:25:52Good God.
01:25:59Moose is looking
01:26:00for a cover.
01:26:01Moose trying to end this.
01:26:03The arms raked
01:26:04across the chest
01:26:05by Alexander.
01:26:06Still alive.
01:26:09We got to take
01:26:10another look back
01:26:11at this
01:26:11from the very top.
01:26:14Cedric
01:26:14all the way
01:26:15into those chairs.
01:26:17Now it's his back
01:26:18that's been obliterated.
01:26:24Alexander doubling
01:26:25over Moose.
01:26:27Somehow Alexander
01:26:28trying to pick up
01:26:29the pace.
01:26:32Oh!
01:26:32Spanish fly
01:26:33center of the ring.
01:26:34Got him on the run.
01:26:35Cover.
01:26:35Can Alexander beat Moose?
01:26:37No!
01:26:38Just a two count.
01:26:41Moose proving
01:26:42his resilience.
01:26:43Yes.
01:26:46From the second row
01:26:47there's a spear
01:26:48by Moose.
01:26:50Nearly cutting
01:26:51Alexander in half
01:26:52but wait a second
01:26:53Alexander.
01:26:55Oh Alexander
01:26:56wisely rolling
01:26:57outside of the ring.
01:27:00The match can only
01:27:01end inside the ring.
01:27:03Whether on instinct
01:27:04or by decision
01:27:06look at this.
01:27:07Alexander off the ropes
01:27:08caught
01:27:08out of mid-air.
01:27:11and now Moose
01:27:16gonna give it
01:27:17later
01:27:18what it wants.
01:27:22It's time
01:27:23for Moose
01:27:24to lay the lumber
01:27:25to the system.
01:27:28Game on!
01:27:29Game on!
01:27:30Game on!
01:27:34Moose helped
01:27:35build the system
01:27:36into the dynasty
01:27:37that it is today.
01:27:39He was
01:27:40excommunicated
01:27:42with malice
01:27:43months ago.
01:27:44Tonight
01:27:44his first step
01:27:46towards revenge.
01:27:49Meanwhile
01:27:50he has the wife
01:27:52of Eddie Edwards
01:27:53the man who now
01:27:54holds the reins
01:27:55of this system.
01:27:56He has Alicia Edwards
01:27:57in his corner
01:28:00backing him up
01:28:01all the way.
01:28:05Oh wait a minute
01:28:05now Moose
01:28:06is thinking about
01:28:06another spear
01:28:07this time
01:28:08through the table
01:28:09to Alexander.
01:28:12Moose went
01:28:13into the steel chair
01:28:14that was set up
01:28:15earlier on
01:28:15in the matchup.
01:28:16An opportunity
01:28:17for Alexander.
01:28:19Look at the strength!
01:28:20Brain buster!
01:28:21Is that enough?
01:28:22Moose kicked out
01:28:24at one!
01:28:24Moose kicked out
01:28:25at one!
01:28:26Where is he
01:28:27finding this?
01:28:39The Atlanta crowd
01:28:41firmly
01:28:41behind Moose.
01:28:48What a big hit
01:28:50by Moose!
01:28:52Look out!
01:28:53Spam through the table!
01:28:58Good night

01:29:17and emphatically
01:29:19to the heart
01:29:19of the system.
01:29:22Taking a look
01:29:24back here
01:29:24at the conclusion
01:29:25of this Atlanta
01:29:26street fight.
01:29:27Moose using
01:29:28that thick skull
01:29:29of his
01:29:30and then the spear
01:29:31driving Alexander
01:29:33through the wood.
01:29:36The journey
01:29:38has just begun
01:29:41but Moose
01:29:42has sent a message.
