00:06The following is a Bonk House match!
00:11Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:15she's the undeniable diamond, Tessa Blanchard!
00:25I want to take you back to the countdown to sacrifice this past weekend,
00:29which you can watch back anytime on demand on TNA Plus.
00:32It was Victoria Crawford who drew the attention of Harley Hudson and Mila Grace.
00:36The referee was paying attention to that.
00:38Didn't see Mila Moore attack Jody Threat with her shoe,
00:42and that opened the door for Tessa Blanchard to hit Buzzsaw
00:46and Chief to beat Threat on the countdown to sacrifice.
00:53Here is your winner!
00:57Right, what I do have to say, I didn't see Victoria Crawford or Mila Moore.
01:02Spicu is by their very absence, but wait a second!
01:06Tessa Blanchard charging at Jody Threat on her entrance!
01:10And now Threat taking down Blanchard!
01:13Back up or no!
01:15Tessa Blanchard taking the fight to Jody Threat!
01:18Jody Threat responding in kind here!
01:22And now Jody Threat's got a trash can!
01:26Oh!
01:27I was going to say, you know, after that incident at the end of the match at Sacrifice,
01:32not only that, it was post-match that Tessa Blanchard grabbed a camera cable
01:36and was beating down and tying up Jody Threat,
01:40which has led again to these tensions rising to another level here.
01:43And this match, oh, is not yet officially underway!
01:46Our referee, Michael Romo, is trying to get Threat and Blanchard inside the ring!
01:52I mean, it may not be official, but this is basically how it's going to go.
01:55Oh, it's happening!
01:56It's a Bunkhouse match!
01:57Anything goes!
02:01Threat dives inside!
02:09And now it's officially underway!
02:13This is the first ever Knockouts Bunkhouse match in TNA history!
02:19There are no countouts, no disqualifications!
02:21The only way to win is via pinfall or submission inside the ring!
02:25And Jody Threat wasted no time, headed right back out to grab some more tools to play with!
02:33Here in the Bunkhouse!
02:35This is the first Bunkhouse match of any kind in this company in five years!
02:40And in the early days of TNA Wrestling,
02:43the Bunkhouse match was made famous in this company by the late great Hall of Famer,
02:48the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes!
02:51Shout out to the Dream, son of a plumber!
02:54He knew exactly how to get along and get along good in environments like this!
02:59And here you see, Jody Threat is just taking her time!
03:02Filling the ring!
03:03What is in that case?
03:05It's certainly heavy, apparently!
03:08It's Mackenzie Mitchell's shoes, she keeps them here at ringside!
03:10Listen, I know that Jody Threat's been dying for this!
03:13The Canadian Wild Child in a Bunkhouse match!
03:17Hey, it's fitting!
03:18These matches have really became famous in the territories of Canada!
03:24No doubt about that!
03:26Jody Threat carrying that tradition on as well!
03:30Whoa, that almost took us out!
03:33Easy, Jody!
03:34Calm down, Jody!
03:38Now, Jody's calling for the lumber!
03:46Look out in the ring, Tessa Blanchard, back to her feet!
03:51Oh, and Tessa Blanchard with a dropkick, throw the ropes!
03:54And now, attacking Jody Threat!
04:00There you see, Tessa Blanchard, Tom, you should point out, wearing a Magnum TA shirt!
04:06Shout-out to her famous stepfather, who was, again, part of companies like the NWA!
04:11This is a very old-school match, an old-school style here, being represented by the knockouts tonight!
04:18Tessa Blanchard, of course, the daughter of the Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard!
04:23She's very familiar with the lineage of this match-up!
04:27Now Blanchard's driving Threat into the steel post!
04:32And look, I applaud Jody Threat's, uh, fervor, should I say, to introduce all these weapons, get into the fight,
04:38but I think she took a little too much time at the beginning in the loud-
04:42Lookit!
04:44Both competitors have tried picking up this case now multiple times!
04:48There is nothing good inside of that!
04:51Oh!
04:54Nasty environment here in this bunkhouse match!
04:57Oh, and a pump kick there by Threat!
05:00Look at this!
05:01Ooh!
05:04Remember, it was all the way back at No Surrender in February in Nashville.
05:08We saw Battle Royal to determine the future number one contender to the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
05:14It came down to the final two.
05:15Tessa Blanchard thought she had won it, but she had not eliminated Jody Threat.
05:21Threat hopefully won the match and won the title shot.
05:23And I don't think Tessa Blanchard has ever let that go!
05:33Oh!
05:34Not been the case.
05:37I mean, I've always said her resume speaks for itself, but has yet to get another shot at the Knockouts
05:45World Title itself.
05:47Uh-oh!
05:47Look at this!
05:48Look at the creativity of Threat!
05:50Oh!
05:51Driving Blanchard into the apron!
05:55This first-ever TNA Knockouts Bunkhouse match continues!
06:04And we are back here on Impact, the first-ever Knockouts Bunkhouse match, and the Wild Child is having a
06:13hell of a time here against Tessa Blanchard.
06:17Two knockouts trying to get closer and closer to the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
06:23It has been a brutal rivalry between these two in the last few months.
06:26Remember, it wasn't too long ago that Tessa Blanchard and the absent, Mila Moore and Victoria Crawford, put Threat on
06:34the Bioplex injury report with a rib injury.
06:38These two have been at each other's throats for weeks now.
06:41To your point, backstage, in the ring, outside, and everything in between.
06:44And now, this is the way to settle it.
06:47Anything goes here in this Bunkhouse match.
06:51Now Threat.
06:53Oh!
06:54Going to work here on Blanchard.
06:58No countouts, no disqualifications.
07:00First one again, pinfall or submission inside the ring, wins the Bunkhouse match.
07:06Look out.
07:07Oh!
07:08They both patented double knees, and Blanchard saw it coming.
07:12Knees right to the steal there.
07:14And look at the way Blanchard leaps on the opportunity.
07:19Blanchard's got no backup, and that has helped her out many times.
07:23You saw that before the breakout.
07:25The assistance of Moore and Crawford on the countdown to sacrifice this past weekend helped Blanchard defeat Threat.
07:32Oh, it certainly helps to have friends, but don't you ever doubt if Tessa Blanchard could get the job done
07:38on her own.
07:39Look out!
07:39Oh, wait a minute!
07:40With the cattle, the kettlebell, oh, the cowbell.
07:43Oh, my God, I can't talk.
07:44We need more cowbell, Tom.
07:46It's cowbell because we need more of it.
07:48And the bullrope!
07:52Look out!
07:53Oh, my God!
07:55It just caved in the skull of Jody Brett there.
08:06We've known the nasty side of Tessa Blanchard for quite some time.
08:10She is embracing this environment.
08:15Cowbell!
08:16Oh, my God!
08:22This one getting absolutely out of control, but that's how it's developed between these two.
08:29Look, it's Tessa Blanchard now just laid out prone on the top rope.
08:34Oh, now look at this.
08:34Jody Threat grabbing that electrical cable.
08:37It was after the matchup, but the countdown is sacrificed.
08:41Blanchard used a cable like this to tie up Jody Threat.
08:45So Blanchard, Maura Crawford can beat the hell out of Jody.
08:50This is entirely legal in a bunkhouse match.
08:54Anything goes.
08:55Trying to rip Tessa Blanchard in half there.
08:59Jody Threat getting a measure of payback on Blanchard.
09:02Dives into the cover and a kick out by Tessa Blanchard.
09:09Jody Threat giving Blanchard a dose of her own medicine.
09:13Oh!
09:17It's raining down blows with the bull rope, the cowbell.
09:21And now turning your attention.
09:23Fought back to this camera case, this equipment case.
09:27This very heavy case that both Blanchard and Threat have been trying to drag into the ring.
09:35Oh, a straight headbutt.
09:39What?
09:40The hell is what they're trying to do?
09:42Trying to squeeze the neck of Blanchard.
09:45Oh!
09:45Oh, my God!
09:47She was trying to stomp on the neck of Blanchard in the lid of that case.
09:52Oh, now Blanchard.
09:53Oh, with her belt!
09:57Anything goes!
10:00Blanchard beating the hell out of Jody Threat.
10:04It may be a bunkhouse match, but we've already seen shades of the bull rope matches, the strap matches.
10:11It's got old school DNA all over it.
10:15Blanchard took the referee's belt!
10:17Hey, if one is good, two is better.
10:21There are no disqualifications in this bunkhouse match.
10:25Strapping it around the neck of Jody Threat.
10:29Oh, my God!
10:31Threat!
10:32Threat's caught up here.
10:34Blanchard trying to choke out Jody Threat with a belt!
10:40Wait a second.
10:43Dangerous territory here.
10:44Trying to squeeze...
10:45Oh, my God!
10:46...the light by the Threat!
10:49Oh, look at the strength of Jody Threat!
10:54Blanchard trying to cut off the oxygen.
10:57Oh, wait.
10:59Oh!
11:00Shove it!
11:01Just...
11:01But look at this!
11:02Blanchard hanging on!
11:04Blanchard held on to the rope, took Jody Threat's best shot, and is holding on to the belt!
11:11Squeezing the life out of her!
11:15Well, look at where Threat's position!
11:17The match cannot end here, Ray!
11:19Well, the match can only end inside the ring!
11:22And that's it!
11:22The referee's called for it, however!
11:25Jody Threat is unconscious!
11:26T Aegis!
11:27It's over!
11:28Here is your winner!
11:30The match is over!
11:35The match is over!
11:38In still!
11:39The referee's determined the Jody Threat could not continue!
11:46Here is your winner, Tessa Blanchard!
11:53Another level to the brutality of Blanchard.
12:02Take a look back here at the conclusion of this matchup.
12:07Tessa Blanchard using her belt and then eventually was using the referee's belt.
12:13Joey Threat hit Pop Shubbin, but look at the way that Tessa Blanchard bent the very rules of the bunkhouse
12:19match
12:19and forced the referee's hand.
12:21Using all of her weight to squeeze whatever air was left in Jodi Threat.
12:27That's what Blanchard is willing to do to get where she wants to go.
12:34The referee deemed that Threat was knocked out cold.
12:38Blanchard scores the win in the first ever TNA Knockouts Bunkhouse match.
