00:00:06What is tested by fire is not consumed.
00:00:10It's revealed.
00:00:14Declaring the fall of a kingdom, the noise was called truth, and the silence was death.
00:00:21So it was told.
00:00:32We have refused to let the whispers write our story.
00:00:37We have erased those words and filled them with hope and our real truth.
00:00:44There's something special about TNA Wrestling.
00:00:46We are a family.
00:00:47We all look out for each other.
00:00:48We all care for each other.
00:00:50I want this power.
00:00:54Tonight, the heavens bear witness.
00:00:57This is the altar where sacrifice meets revelation.
00:01:02And the past kneels before what was always meant to be.
00:01:11The lights burn not to illuminate, but to expose every doubt, every scar, every voice that dare to deny this
00:01:22moment.
00:01:23TNA, White House right now.
00:01:25This is it!
00:01:26This is it!
00:01:27As it gets!
00:01:28I'm right where I belong, leading this company into the next era.
00:01:43This was written before the first bell.
00:01:46Carved before the first fall.
00:01:49A path traced through fire.
00:01:52Failure and fate that could only lead here.
00:02:06The TNA on AMC era has begun.
00:02:11The TNA on AMC era has begun!
00:04:23I'm going to keep this short and sweet because we got some wrestling to do.
00:04:30Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls wrestling fans from coast to coast, welcome to the house that AJ Styles built.
00:04:48But here's the thing, it is bigger, it is better, and it is bolder than ever, and it's on AMC.
00:05:13You know what?
00:05:17Let's keep that energy tonight.
00:05:20It all starts with you.
00:05:23You are TNA.
00:05:25You are the TNA nation.
00:05:30And it all starts with those three letters, T-N-A, T-N-A, T-N-A.
00:05:44Let's create the chaos.
00:05:46TNA, T-N-A, T-N-A, T-N-A, T-N-A, T-N-A, T-N-A.
00:07:29Welcome to the premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:07:46And what an absolutely raucous wave to kick everything off on the AMC era.
00:07:54The Chief Gun Kelly's guitarist, the guitar slayer, Justin Lyons, performing for the Hardys, plus TNA star BDE and social
00:08:03media influencer J2 Chris.
00:08:06You're streaming this right now live all over social media.
00:08:10Welcome to Ringside.
00:08:11He's the Trauma King Matthew Railroad.
00:08:13That is Matt Hardy.
00:08:15I'm Tom Henneman.
00:08:16Welcome to the Impact Zone.
00:08:18What an absolutely electric atmosphere here in Dallas, Texas for the first night of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:08:26There is so much going down tonight in Dallas in our main event.
00:08:30The conniving TNA World Champion right here in books and defend against the battle-tested Mike Santana.
00:08:36TNA Hall of Famer Bully Ray joined us on commentary.
00:08:39But that's not the only title on the line as the knockouts world tag team title will be defended.
00:08:46The inspiration defend against the elegant friend.
00:08:49And also we'll hear from our franchise players, TNA's Dynasty.
00:08:54The system is live on AMC tonight.
00:08:57Following is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:09:03Introducing first the team of Eliza and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Jeff, the Hardys.
00:09:21The Hardys, the living legends, set to team up with the notorious attraction, Elijah, against Order 4.
00:09:35Now this Saturday at Genesis Live on Pay-Per-View at TNA Plus right here in Dallas, Texas.
00:09:41Elijah, who you can see in the back of your screen on horseback.
00:09:45And that's Mustafa Ali, the leader of Order 4.
00:09:48This was back at Final Resolution in December, which you can watch back anytime on demand on our streaming platform,
00:09:55TNA Plus.
00:09:56This rivalry went to a whole other level as Elijah lassoed Ali and dragged him out of the building on
00:10:04horseback.
00:10:05Yeah, but it didn't end there because last week, Elijah continued to torment Ali in order for chasing them out
00:10:14of the arena.
00:10:15Once again, on horseback, an absolute travesty.
00:10:19And their opponent, a company in the ring.
00:10:21Oh, wait a minute, Ali diving into the ring, going after Elijah and the Hardys.
00:10:26This match is underway.
00:10:28This is total non-stop action.
00:10:31And you can't blame Ali and company for starting this one like this because of everything, the notorious attraction has
00:10:40thrown their way.
00:10:41Oh, the horse trap he's thrown towards Order 4.
00:10:45Led by the two-faced and politically savvy, Mustafa Ali, Order 4 believes actions have consequences.
00:10:53Ali is surrounded himself with loyal supporters like Jason Hodge and John Schuyler, his tag team partners.
00:11:02Well, that was a consequence there of what Elijah just did to the great hands.
00:11:07And now he's got his hands on Mustafa Ali.
00:11:11Meanwhile, Elijah, a vagabond thrifter who's entertaining millions all over the world.
00:11:18And then out of the ring with his guitar.
00:11:21He's a heavy-hitting wrestler and a cunning mind at that.
00:11:25And just annihilated Ali with that superplex.
00:11:29Out go the great hands, courtesy of the legendary Hardys.
00:11:33The daredevils from Cameron, North Carolina, unlevel the playing field.
00:11:39Order 4 has got a regroup against Elijah, Matt, and Jeff Hardy.
00:11:43This is TNA Thursday Night Impact Live on AMC.
00:11:51And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact Live on AMC in Dallas, Texas.
00:11:57This is our opening contest.
00:11:59The legendary Hardys, the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
00:12:03Teaming up with Eliza to take on Order 4 tonight at the Curtis Colwell Center.
00:12:09And Order 4, as they always do, using the numbers game to their advantage.
00:12:14They are a unit.
00:12:16They are a team.
00:12:17They are an army and a force to be reckoned with.
00:12:19Boot right to the face there by Elijah.
00:12:20It's one-on-one with Mustafa Ali of Order 4 this Saturday right here in Dallas.
00:12:27Live on pay-per-view with TNA Plus and Genesis.
00:12:30Oh, Ali went face first into the buckle.
00:12:32As Elijah was looking for a tag.
00:12:34Matt and Jeff Hardy were eliminated from the equation.
00:12:38But it looks like Ali just got eliminated from this planet.
00:12:42Ali, on multiple occasions, has delayed the recovery process of Elijah.
00:12:47That's where we're going one-on-one at Genesis.
00:12:49Well, the stars are out tonight at ringside.
00:12:52We have Kiowa Gordon and Zon McLaurin from the hit thriller Dark Wins.
00:12:57They're special agent zero.
00:12:59Dark Wins returns with fourth season Sunday, February 15th on AMC and AMC+.
00:13:04And also, RJ Kyler, star of the upcoming vampire thriller Night Patrol, alongside CM Punk, Justin Long, and Freddie Gibbs.
00:13:12Catch RJ Kyler.
00:13:13Night Patrol is in theaters nationwide tomorrow.
00:13:17Right now, the star of this magic is the charismatic enigma who's turned this thing on its head.
00:13:23A twist of fate by Jeff Hardy.
00:13:26Oh, here's Tasha Steeles of Order 4.
00:13:31The manipulative, the mastermind, Tasha Steeles.
00:13:35Oh, no!
00:13:36Uh-oh.
00:13:36The leader of Order 4, Mustafa Ali, inappropriately under Steeles.
00:13:41Don't you do this!
00:13:42On a double twist of fate!
00:13:45How dare you!
00:13:47Splash by Hardy!
00:13:48Trying to put this thing away while Skyler and Hodge of Order 4 break up the pinfall.
00:13:54Just in the nick of time.
00:13:57Using the Hardys almost as weapons to break that pinfall up.
00:14:01And now Order 4 gotta reclute.
00:14:04A tag's been made.
00:14:06Legal into the matches, John Skyler, we mentioned it.
00:14:08Mustafa Ali of Order 4 and Elijah will go one-on-one this Saturday at Genesis.
00:14:13Live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus right here in Dallas.
00:14:16And that same night, the Hardys must defend their TNA World Tag Team titles
00:14:21against the creepy Vincent and Dutch known as The Righteous.
00:14:26The cult-like duo have had their sights set on the legendary Hardys.
00:14:31As Elijah now looks to turn this match back in his and a Hardys favor!
00:14:37Main strike there by Elijah.
00:14:38His first match in over six months.
00:14:41And a twist of fate there by Matt Hardy.
00:14:44Look to the skies though!
00:14:46There's Jeff Hardy!
00:14:48Swanton Bomb!
00:14:50One, two, three!
00:14:51The Hardys and Elijah beat Order 4!
00:14:55Here are your winners!
00:14:57The team of Elijah and the TNA World Tag Team Champions!
00:15:04Matt and check the Hardys!
00:15:11The first victory of the AMC era goes to the Goats, the Legends, the Hardys, and Elijah.
00:15:19But wait!
00:15:19Oh, hold on a second!
00:15:21Special Agent Zero, Order 4, annihilates Elijah!
00:15:25And now the Hardys!
00:15:27That right there is the weapon of mass destruction of...
00:15:34Hold on a second!
00:15:35That's Vincent and Dutch!
00:15:37Of the Righteous!
00:15:38The Hardys opponents this Saturday at Genesis!
00:15:41They're backing off Agent Zero in Order 4!
00:15:44Ali was calling off Agent Zero!
00:15:48Of the Righteous!
00:15:50Again, who have said that they admire, they even love the Hardys!
00:15:55Look up to them!
00:15:58Despite their actions!
00:16:03Oh, wait!
00:16:04Oh, my God!
00:16:05Jeff walks by Dutch!
00:16:10And now the intention more than clear from the Righteous!
00:16:17This is about more than a Tag Team Championship at Genesis!
00:16:21The Righteous want to destroy the Hardys and take their essence!
00:16:27The plan coming truly to fruition here!
00:16:30What is Vincent doing?
00:16:32Oh, you got to be kidding me!
00:16:33Oh, dear God, no!
00:16:34Oh, my God!
00:16:35Vincent driving the lock through the cage opening in the ear of Jeff Hardy!
00:16:42And look at Dutch!
00:16:45That's Matt Hardy prone there!
00:16:48Jeff Hardy's restrained by that chain in the lock in his ear!
00:16:53Oh, and a small time bomb!
00:16:56Right from Jeff's face!
00:16:58To his own brother, Matt!
00:17:01Man!
00:17:05This is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you!
00:17:11At Genesis!
00:17:14The Righteous will become new TNA World Tag Team Champions, man!
00:17:22Dig what I'm saying!
00:17:30A message clear as day!
00:17:35Will we have new World Tag Team Champions at Genesis?
00:17:41Well, still to come tonight in our main event, it is a milestone matchup for the TNA World Championship.
00:17:48Our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller, has more.
00:17:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, your TNA Wrestling World Champion, Frankie Kazarian.
00:18:01Frankie, in tonight's main event, you put the TNA World Title on the line against Mike Santana.
00:18:07Tell me, what does this moment mean to you on a night this big?
00:18:12Big?
00:18:15The biggest night in TNA history.
00:18:19My TNA World Title.
00:18:21You know, Mike Santana has the opportunity.
00:18:34What are you supposed to do?
00:18:36Shake your hand?
00:18:38Give you a big hug?
00:18:39Big sloppy kiss?
00:18:41I mean, you already show up tonight, like you run the place, go out and cut your little promo?
00:18:46If you have anything to say to me, anything, maybe it's just, thank you for the house.
00:19:03Thanks.
00:19:12AJ Styles said it himself earlier on tonight, bigger, better, bolder.
00:19:16That's what's in store.
00:19:18Can Mike Santana reclaim the TNA World Title from Kazarian?
00:19:22We'll find out tonight.
00:19:30There were no guarantees.
00:19:33No shortcuts.
00:19:35Only an opportunity to be different.
00:19:41Speed, risk, innovation, fearless flights into the unknown.
00:19:50The X Division is the foundation of what TNA wrestling became.
00:19:55And soon, the world of professional wrestling would follow.
00:20:00You've got to be freaking kidding!
00:20:05Generations passed through the storm they created, and those became legends who defied the fall.
00:20:12When I was in the X Division, it was AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe.
00:20:18The X Division, it has never been a stepping stone.
00:20:21It's been the foundation, the spirit, the lifeblood of TNA wrestling.
00:20:26I would say that the X Division is in phenomenal hands.
00:20:33The X Division, the signature division of TNA wrestling, founded by people like the man we saw, the phenomenal AJ
00:20:41Styles,
00:20:42currently led by the X Division champ, Leon Slater.
00:20:45It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.

00:21:36Eric Young.
00:21:37And also, it is the man, AJ Francis.
00:21:42He's arrogant, he's brash, a former NFL defensive lineman, term pro wrestler, a rapper, and a first-class powerhouse.
00:21:50AJ Francis is TNA's public enemy, number one.
00:21:54For more on the stars joining us tonight, let's check back in with our broadcast colleague, the spectacular Gia Miller.
00:22:04Ladies and gentlemen, the stars are out tonight for the premiere of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.

00:23:03Guys, thank you all so much for being here tonight.
00:23:06Tell me, what does it mean to be a part of such a historic night, live here for the debut
00:23:13of TNA Wrestling on AMC?
00:23:17Yeah, we...
00:23:18Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, Gia.
00:23:20You're having a little Hollywood party down here, and I'm not invited.
00:23:24Me, the Hollywood hunk, Ryan Nemeth.
00:23:29You guys aren't the big stars, okay?
00:23:31You two pump chumps are on my show, okay?
00:23:34I'm the star.
00:23:35What are you looking at?
00:23:35What are you looking at, pretty boy?
00:23:37You look like you want to hit...
00:23:46What the hell is Ryan Nemeth doing?
00:23:48Oh, he got caught in the barricade!
00:23:51Oh, what?
00:23:52How dare you, sir?
00:23:53Zahn McClarendon just lit him up with a chop!
00:23:56You are a guest in our home!
00:23:59Zahn McClarendon's a guest of ours!
00:24:03Well, right now I want to turn our attention to another matter that, well, was pretty devastating.
00:24:08This was last month after a steel cage matchup.
00:24:11There's our director of authority, Santina Morella.
00:24:14That is his own daughter, Ariana Grace, who was turning her back on her father with the help of her
00:24:21fiancé, Stax, from NXT.
00:24:24You don't even know what the heck you're going on.
00:24:28You, daughter, I hope you're nothing like him, but you probably are.
00:24:33I'm dead meat.
00:24:35Broke her father's heart, and he hasn't been the same since.
00:24:52Please welcome the TNA director of authority, Santino Morella!
00:25:04Wow!
00:25:05It's great to see Santino Morella with a smile on his face.
00:25:09Wrestling fans for years know his trademark brand of entertainment.
00:25:13Yes, he's a bit of an oddball, but he has done a great job as our day-to-day operations
00:25:19manager here at TNA Wrestling,
00:25:20our director of authority.
00:25:22To your point, to see a smile is a rare thing, considering everything that's been in his personal life as
00:25:30of late.
00:25:31Hello, Dallas!
00:25:36Is tonight a special night or what?
00:25:43Thursday night impact on AMSI.
00:25:47Come on, doesn't get bigger than that.
00:25:51There's going to be a lot of new eyes on us, a lot of new expectations, a lot of pressure.
00:25:57But I know these guys can handle it because we fought tooth and nail to get here.
00:26:02Nothing's going to stop us.
00:26:03This is going to be the beginning of something incredible!
00:26:12Now, as you saw in the video, my mindset is a little bit off.
00:26:17I've been distracted as of late.
00:26:20I've been hurt.
00:26:22I've been angry.
00:26:23I've been confused.
00:26:26When your own flesh and blood looks you in the eyes and turns their back on you,
00:26:31it's not something you can shake off like the water on the duck.
00:26:37It's been bothering me.
00:26:38But I have decisions to make.
00:26:39I have a company to run.
00:26:41I've got to make the best decisions for the people in the back and for the audience.
00:26:46It's not a job I take lightly.
00:26:48And now that we're on AMSI, I cannot afford to make a mistake.
00:26:54We cannot.
00:26:55So the board has decided that I can use a little bit of assistance.
00:27:00You see, my heart is not 100% here.
00:27:04And this is not the time to drop the ball.
00:27:06And at first, when I heard the news, I was a little bit hesitation.
00:27:11But then, when I found out who it was, I was actually relieved because this person is very professional.
00:27:17They have lots of experience.
00:27:19And I believe they can positively contribute to the overall product and the brand.
00:27:24Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado...
00:27:43Oh my God!
00:27:48Well, well, well, look who's made her way into the impact zone.
00:27:56Daria Ray!
00:27:58Well, you and I haven't seen her in years.
00:28:01But we know just how effective and when she wants to be just how dangerous of a woman.
00:28:08She can be decisive, no doubt about it.
00:28:11Daria does have general manager experience, former tag team champion, a mixed martial artist,
00:28:19and has even contributed as an analyst for Invicta FC, the all-women's M&A promotion.
00:28:38Let me be the first to say, welcome to D.N.A.
00:28:48Thank you, all of you.
00:28:50Thank you, Santino.
00:28:53First things first, congratulations.
00:28:55Look at this.
00:28:57Look at this.
00:29:01I've been watching from afar over the years, and you are one of the very pillars of this company.
00:29:09No, seriously.
00:29:13Building this foundation week in and week out through the good, the bad, the ugly,
00:29:18and somehow you managed to keep a smile on all their faces, mine included.
00:29:27And now here we are, standing in this ring.
00:29:44Standing in front of one of the best crowds I've ever been in front of, right here in Dallas,
00:29:49Texas, for the debut episode on our new network, AMC.
00:30:06And the irony of this is, the one thing this company does not need is you.
00:30:20No, no, we don't need your stupid little jokes.
00:30:23We don't need your little comedic relief.
00:30:25We need structure.
00:30:29Discipline.
00:30:33Professionalism.
00:30:34None of which you have the ability to give, do you?
00:30:37You can't even keep your own family in order.
00:30:39Your own daughter doesn't respect you, and you want that too?
00:30:43Take it easy.
00:30:45Right now, you're crossing the back.
00:30:46Shut up.
00:30:48I'm talking.
00:30:53The facts are the facts.
00:30:55I've been in this position before.
00:30:57I ran locker rooms.
00:30:59I dealt with the egos.
00:31:00I understand television.
00:31:02And most importantly, I understand the fact that I can do your job better than you can.
00:31:10So that's exactly what I plan on doing.
00:31:12I'm not here for a popularity contest, so I suggest you stay the hell out of my way.
00:31:17And for you, in case you don't already know, my name is Daria Ray, and I'm the suit.
00:31:27So you shut up when I'm talking.
00:31:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:31:40One thing I almost forgot.
00:31:42I'm so sorry.
00:31:42As my first official order of business, I signed a new knockout to TNA.
00:31:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:32:13We haven't seen Elena Black in this company since early last year.
00:32:19Bold, alluring, and toxic.
00:32:24What a signing from the brand new Daria Ray.
00:32:29Making moves already.
00:32:31And think about this still to come.
00:32:33The TNA World Championship is on the line in our main event.
00:32:4720 years.
00:32:5120 years I've known Frankie Kazarian.
00:32:55And I never thought I'd say this about a friend.
00:32:58But I want you to kick his ass.
00:33:02I held this company down as long as I could.
00:33:05Now it's your turn.
00:33:07So do what you do best.
00:33:10Win.
00:33:26Thanks.
00:33:29Take him out.
00:33:35Let's get it.
00:33:40There was a time that Mike Santana was called the standard of TNA wrestling.
00:33:45He captured the TNA World Championship months ago.
00:33:48But Frankie Kazarian ripped it away from him.
00:33:51Can Santana get back to the top of the mountain tonight?
00:33:54But up next, the Knockouts World Tag Team titles are on the line.
00:34:00As the Inspiration defend their titles against the Elegance brand.
00:34:04And that matchup next.
00:34:09Big thanks to Kyle Agorda and Son McClarnett from the hit thriller Dark Winds for joining us tonight on the
00:34:15premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:34:18And in the Impact zone, we are joined by the Elegance brand.
00:34:21Ladies and gentlemen, I am the personal concierge and I want your attention.
00:34:32Show up when I'm talking to you.
00:34:35Standing in this ring is a specialist in style and fashion.
00:34:42A pop culture icon and the original influencer.
00:34:48Please welcome Perez Hilton.
00:34:54Thank you very much.
00:34:56And thank you.
00:34:59You know, I'm used to covering red carpet events, fashion hits and misses.
00:35:04And this crowd tonight really brought their game.
00:35:08Their D game.
00:35:13Perez, you're being so nice.
00:35:16Why don't you tell them how you really feel?
00:35:18We all know that Dallas, Texas has a bunch of degenerate, filthy pigs.
00:35:29But that's not the reason why we're here.
00:35:32You see, we are soon going to be crowned the TNA Knockouts Tag Team World Champions.
00:35:42And we've spent the past couple of months doing some research to introduce something new to the Elegance brand.
00:35:51And we've got millions of applications, thousands of interviews.
00:35:59And tonight, you're about to witness the unveiling of the greatest makeover in the history of professional wrestling.
00:36:09So without further ado, please welcome Mr. Elegance.
00:36:25Oh, that is not the man we saw last week at all.
00:36:31Hello, Dallas, Texas.
00:36:40Hello, AMC.
00:36:46And all of our other broadcasting partners.
00:36:55I've been chosen.
00:36:58I've been chosen.
00:37:01Within the last week, I've had an incredible transformation.
00:37:07Just take a look at the screen.
00:37:11That guy right there, no confidence, no appeal, nothing, a nobody.
00:37:24And now, I am the one that you get to look at.
00:37:34So soak it in, look at M, E, Mwah, me, Mr. Elegance.
00:37:46Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:37:48We were just getting to know him.
00:37:59And their opponents, they are the TNA Knockout World Tag Team Champions.
00:38:07We are the TNA Knockout World Tag Team Championship is on the line.
00:38:24The champions, the inspiration, set to defend against the Elegance brand.
00:38:28And this match is officially underway.
00:38:30We barely got to say hello to the brand new Mr. Elegance.
00:38:35An iconic and inspirational start to this TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship match live on AMC.
00:38:48We are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:38:52The TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships are on the line as the inspiration defend against the Elegance brand.
00:39:01Cassie Lee trying to find a way through.
00:39:03Sustaining injured last year moments ago on a kick out there from M by Elegance.
00:39:08And there's plenty of competition in and out of TNA's women's division, the knockouts division.
00:39:14We learned this past Tuesday on NXT that Sol Ruka and Zarya, who you can see right there, who are
00:39:20looking on here tonight in Dallas,
00:39:22as well as Grem, QCC, and Fatal Influence.
00:39:26Those three teams will collide this coming Tuesday live on NXT to determine the future number one contender to our
00:39:32TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
00:39:37Everybody clamoring to get a shot in the knockouts division.
00:39:41Somebody, some team from NXT is going to get their chance, but who will walk out of Dallas with the
00:39:49title?
00:39:49Tag made, it's Jessie to meet Heather.
00:39:52Elegance brand trying to take advantage of a 2-on-1 opportunity, but Jessie McKay is fresh.
00:39:58Looking to turn this match up entirely on its head.
00:40:03Jessie McKay fired up here.
00:40:06Cassie and Jessie have been the women's tag team in pro wrestling for the past decade.
00:40:12No other duo exhibits teamwork and synchronicity quite like the inspiration.
00:40:19And it's action like this why hashtag TNA Impact is the number one trend in sports right now on social
00:40:26media.
00:40:26We're here to retain the titles.
00:40:28Oh, on a personal concierge, pulled Jessie off with a cover of the referee, didn't see it.
00:40:34Are you sure about that?
00:40:35I don't think we got a good angle.
00:40:37Oh, stop.
00:40:37Look, nobody could be sure.
00:40:42Jessie, focus on the matchup.
00:40:46Cassie and Jessie trying to defend their championships.
00:40:48Meanwhile, you got Perez Hilton, the original influencer, Ash by Elegance, Mr. Elegance, M by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, the
00:40:58personal concierge will make your head spin.
00:41:00They've got an elegant army, and Jessie might be paying for that.
00:41:04Back inside the ring, Jessie trying to deal with Heather by Elegance.
00:41:09Kick right to the head, Jessie's down.
00:41:12A tag's been made.
00:41:14I believe Cassie got taken out of the equation moments ago.
00:41:17And Heather heading up, wait a second.
00:41:19Oh, there's Cassie saving Jessie back inside the ring.
00:41:24Trying to retain the inspiration, can't put away the brand.
00:41:27Thank God Mr. Elegance saved Heather on the outside there.
00:41:32A burning disaster.
00:41:33I can only imagine what our new director of operations, Daria Ray, thinks about this.
00:41:39Plus the newest knockout, Elena Black.
00:41:42And the newest member of the Elegance brand here.
00:41:44Oh, Mr. Elegance distracting the official.
00:41:48The inspiration can retain the titles right there.
00:41:51The inspiration can't stop looking at him either.
00:41:53And who can blame him?
00:41:54He's an adonis.
00:41:56I don't think the client are looking at him.
00:41:58There on it goes.
00:42:00Hands off the merchandise, ladies.
00:42:02People keep peacocking here at ringside.
00:42:04He deserved it.
00:42:05Oh.
00:42:06Oh, now the inspiration trying to focus on defending their tag team titles.
00:42:11He's starting to break down here.
00:42:15Wait, once again.
00:42:16Oh, now the personal concierge stuck his nose in the inspiration's business one too many times.
00:42:23No way, look out.
00:42:25Oh, go.
00:42:26Oh, wait a minute.
00:42:26They're going for the idolizer.
00:42:28But a chop block by Mr. Elegance.
00:42:30The referee didn't see it.
00:42:32And then the Elegance brand recapture the titles.
00:42:35Here are your winners and new TNA knockout world tag team champion.
00:42:48The Elegance brand.
00:42:51Oh, what a night.
00:42:54Take a look at this.
00:42:56The Elegance brand stronger than ever.
00:42:58Mr. Elegance paid dividends already, allowing M by Elegance to get the pin and get the win.
00:43:07Once again, the Elegance brand, not only better than all of you, but better than everybody in the knockouts division.
00:43:15And there is TNA president Carlos Silva to award the TNA knockouts world tag team championships to Heather and M
00:43:25and the Elegance brand.
00:43:28How apropos.
00:43:29It feels like we're back home with the championships in the Elegance brand.
00:43:36Bigger, better, and stronger than ever.
00:43:42As we mentioned, championship gold is at a premium here at TNA Wrestling.
00:43:52Here we are.
00:43:53Here we are with TNA's international title.
00:43:57You and me, outlaws.
00:43:59Santino, for weeks you were trying to figure out who let NXT people in the door.
00:44:03Yeah, and you spent a ton of company money on your little investigation when the answer was right next to
00:44:09you the whole time.
00:44:10Santino, you are making a lot of bad decisions.
00:44:13You know, he's stressed out right now.
00:44:15I guess when your daughter turns on you, you have a decrease in productivity, work ethic.
00:44:21But that's okay, because management has fixed your problem.
00:44:24They've hired somebody to help you.
00:44:26And she's going to do a much better job than you ever could.
00:44:29But moving past that, TNA International title, Genesis, my handsome man is going to handle anything that my dad throws
00:44:37his way.
00:44:38And he's going to do it for his little girl.
00:44:42You like that one?
00:44:45Well, right now it's time for the TNA Injury Report presented by BioFlex, the exclusive recovery partner of TNA Wrestling.
00:44:54Following a savage attack by Doomsday Danny Luna last week on Impact, Harley Hudson and Myla Grace have been held
00:45:01out of competition as a precaution.
00:45:03Zia Brookside and the reigning TNA Knockouts world champion Laying Lee also sustained injuries in the incident, but have since
00:45:12been medically cleared to compete.
00:45:14Bulletproof Steve Macklin is currently out of action following the brutal attack by the NXT Outlaws last week.
00:45:21Macklin was evaluated after the attack and it was determined to keep Macklin out of action this week as a
00:45:28precaution.
00:45:28The former TNA World Champion and two-time international champion is expected to return to in-ring competition next week.
00:45:37Mike Santana continues to deal with the right arm injury he sustained back in November.
00:45:42It was caused by the NXT Outlaws and it led to Frankie Kazarian taking advantage of the injury, calling his
00:45:49shot and taking the TNA World Championship from Mike Santana.
00:45:53However, Santana has been medically cleared to compete in tonight's milestone main event as he challenges Frankie Kazarian for the
00:46:01TNA World Championship.
00:46:04This has been the TNA Injury Report presented by BioFlex.
00:46:13Well, speaking of Mike Santana, he has the chance to right the wrong of months ago as he challenges Frankie
00:46:19Kazarian for the TNA World title later on tonight.
00:46:28TNA Genesis is right around the corner, man.
00:46:32Ever since my dog collar match, I feel like I've been in limbo.
00:46:35But look, the goal still hasn't changed.
00:46:38Everyone knows why indie wrestling came to TNA, and that is to fulfill my childhood dream of being...
00:46:44Let me guess, you're over here talking about fulfilling your childhood dream, indie.
00:46:49Well, guess what?
00:46:50Some people dream about it, and some of us make it happen.
00:46:54Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll fight any of you.
00:46:55Hey, hey, hold on a sec.
00:46:56Fight.
00:46:57If you want to fight somebody, you need to take that up with Santino.
00:46:59But for now, I'd watch your mouth, or I'll sit you on a plane, send you back to Australia with
00:47:03the desperation to go play with the Wombats.
00:47:06Yeah, you will.
00:47:06Guys, enough of this.
00:47:08Guys, stop.
00:47:09We got a party!
00:47:11All right, celebration!
00:47:13Yes, let's go!
00:47:14Yeah, I'll talk to Santino.
00:47:28They dared to dream.
00:47:31It is all about the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:47:35They were pioneers who broke barriers, shattered glass ceilings, and revolutionized the world of professional wrestling.
00:47:51I remember watching the knockouts kill it every week, and I remember thinking how I wanted to be like them.
00:47:59The TNA Knockouts are an eclectic blend of beauty and brawl.
00:48:10I don't just want to be a knockout.
00:48:13I want to be the knockout.
00:48:17Fearless.
00:48:19Determined.
00:48:20Beautifully unconventional.
00:48:23Unyielding in their conviction.
00:48:29Wayne Lee is the new TNA Knockouts World Champion.
00:48:36Is there anyone better than me?
00:48:38I don't think so.
00:48:41Athletes who dare to cross the line.
00:48:44Supernovas who will forever shine.
00:48:59Ladies and gentlemen, as we prepare for Genesis, allow me to introduce at this time the TNA Knockouts World Champion,
00:49:08Lady Lee.
00:50:21At WWE's NXT Gold Rush event.
00:50:24Ladies and gentlemen, due to an international visa crisis, Danny Luna is not going to be able to compete at
00:50:31Genesis.
00:50:32However, Lady Lee has committed herself to be a fighting champion and has signed a contract to an open challenge
00:50:44on Saturday at Genesis.
00:50:48Genesis.
00:50:49Genesis.
00:50:50Take it up! Take it up! Take it up!
00:51:26Earlier tonight, we saw the team of Zarya and Sol Ruka.
00:51:30Sol Ruka from NXT watching during the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship match.
00:51:36So, I guess the question is now, who's taking a playing lead on the Open Challenge for Genesis?
00:51:44They have their eyes on all kinds of TNA Championship gold, it seems.
00:51:50But to your point, which one of these two incredible athletes is out here to answer the Open Challenge?
00:52:06Hey, TNA!
00:52:13Now, we were originally in town to scope out the competition for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles.
00:52:22However, when I heard about this Open Challenge, I mean, I just could not resist.
00:52:27I mean, this is an incredible opportunity for all of women's professional wrestling.
00:52:33And, I mean, it would feel pretty damn good to bring gold back home again.
00:52:38Now, I know this isn't going to be an easy competition.
00:52:43You are a warrior in every aspect.
00:52:48However, the thing about Zeruka is, we've got a warrior of our own.
00:52:58Which is why Zarya should answer this Open Challenge.
00:53:04Because there is no one who is more deserving than you.
00:53:11A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:28A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:30A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:32A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:32A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:33A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:33A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:36A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior
00:53:39Didn't take much convincing.
00:53:41She has signed on the dotted line.
00:53:44It looks like it's going down.
00:53:47Zaria face-to-face with the Knockouts World Champion,
00:53:51Lei Ying Lee, Genesis.
00:53:53They go one-on-one.
00:53:56Genesis is this Saturday, right here in Dallas, Texas,
00:54:00live on Pay-Per-View and TNA+.
00:54:03The TNA Knockouts World Championship is on the line,
00:54:07but the TNA World Title is at stake in our main event
00:54:10with a legacy built on the backs of legends.
00:54:22The TNA Wrestling World Championship.
00:54:25It's not just a championship.
00:54:27It's a legacy.
00:54:33The TNA World Title puts everything here.
00:54:35That means you're the guy here.
00:54:37This championship carries the weight of responsibility
00:54:40of not only representing TNA Wrestling, but protecting it.
00:54:45Anyone that says that they don't want to be the world champion
00:54:47is either a liar or not in this business for the right reasons.
00:54:52You do not hold this championship to be celebrated.
00:54:55You carry it to be tested.
00:54:59I did not come to TNA to be good at wrestling.
00:55:03I came to TNA become world champion
00:55:05and become the best damn wrestler ever.
00:55:07I'm on my way.
00:55:15It is a living testament that belief endures,
00:55:19that the legacy demands sacrifice,
00:55:22and that only those willing to stand in the fires
00:55:25can be the TNA Wrestling World Champion.
00:55:28TNA Wrestling World Championship.
00:55:29Oh, I'm on my way.
00:55:37Oh, I'm on my way.
00:55:44Oh, I'm on my way too.
00:55:47Oh, I'm on my way.
00:55:50Oh, I'm with you.
00:56:02Well, that history, that legacy is on the line once again
00:56:06as Mike Santana hopes to hold that gold one more time
00:56:11in our main event here tonight.
00:56:13Meanwhile, the TNA original, the egomaniac Frankie Kazarian
00:56:18is willing to do anything to hold on to the TNA world title.
00:56:22Our main event is moments away, but coming up next,
00:56:25we'll hear from TNA's Dynasty, the system on AMC.
00:56:33Celtic.
00:56:35How are you?
00:56:35Good, sir.
00:56:36How are you?
00:56:36What's up?
00:56:36Well, I want to talk to you face to face because we have a little bit of an issue.
00:56:40It's an international problem.
00:56:42It's a crisis, if you will, with the visas.
00:56:46So Leon Slater is not going to be here for Genesis.
00:56:49So I had to find a replacement.
00:56:53But you are still going to get your X Division title shot.
00:56:56Put that one in the pocket for later.
00:56:58It's guaranteed.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00So anyway, it's going to be you, Moosh, and I don't want to say his name
00:57:07because he's going to appear.
00:57:09Who are you talking about?
00:57:10Uh, it rhymes with, uh, Moosh Mandley.
00:57:15Who are you talking about, Santino?
00:57:17Do you not watch the project?
00:57:19You versus Moosh versus Joe Hendry.
00:57:24How is that even possible?
00:57:26I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:57:30I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:57:31You did that.
00:57:32That was you.
00:57:33I didn't do that.
00:57:34That was, you did, you did that.
00:57:37Anyway, congratulations, good luck.
00:57:39That's crazy.
00:57:44Well, you say his name, he'll appear no matter where you are.
00:57:48Joe Hendry now added to Genesis.

00:58:08A.J. Francis recently kicked Rich Swann out of first class.
00:58:13Francis has been disrespecting Swann for long enough.
00:58:16These two go one-on-one.
00:58:17Not only that, the notorious attraction, Elijah, goes one-on-one with Mustafa Ali of Order 4.
00:58:24Meanwhile, after Ryan Nemeth ran his mouth earlier on tonight,
00:58:28Mara Shade looks to super kick it shut yet again at Genesis.
00:58:32And the TNA Knockouts world title is on the line.
00:58:35It's official, Lei Ying Li versus NXT's Zarya.
00:58:39Also, this was just announced.
00:58:41Cedric Alexander and Moose and Joe Hendry will compete in a triple threat match at Genesis.
00:58:49And of course, the TNA world tag team titles will be on the line
00:58:53as the GOATs, the Legends, the Hardys defend against the Righteous.
00:58:57Meanwhile, it's a battle between brothers within the system.
00:59:00It's the final dance for JDC, his last match of professional wrestling
00:59:04up against Eddie Edwards, his friend of 20 years.
00:59:07This and more at Genesis.
00:59:13Well, ahead of that last dance, it's time to get one last word with the system.
00:59:22Do you want to know something?
00:59:28Please welcome the system!
00:59:34They are our franchise players.
00:59:37TNA's dynasty, over two years of dominance
00:59:40and 22 titles amongst all five of them.
00:59:44Dallas, do you want to know something?
00:59:54The system is on AMC!
01:00:03AMC! AMC! AMC! AMC! AMC! AMC! AMC!
01:00:10AMC! AMC!
01:00:14This is truly something special for us.
01:00:17You see, this company, it means everything to the system.
01:00:22And yeah, right now, there are a lot of changes going on.
01:00:26But with that change comes one final moment.
01:00:32One final moment that will live in history.
01:00:34And I am talking about Genesis.
01:00:38You and me, brother.
01:00:41The final dance.
01:00:47Guys, guys, guys.
01:00:49I want you to know how thankful I am
01:00:52to be able to finish my career here in TNA Wrestling.
01:00:54Thank you very much.
01:00:57I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.
01:00:59This is the best locker room I've ever been in.
01:01:01And I'm not just saying that.
01:01:03Thank you, guys.
01:01:03You guys are the best crowd, too.
01:01:15Saturday will be my last match ever
01:01:18against my good friend for about 25 years, Eddie Edwards.
01:01:24But the system isn't weakening.
01:01:26It's just evolving.
01:01:28Next week, live on AMC, Thursday night,
01:01:32I will be in that ring probably retired
01:01:37to announce the newest member of the system
01:01:40to replace me.
01:01:44But that's next week, Eddie.
01:01:47Saturday.
01:01:48They wrote some stuff for me, man.
01:01:50And I'm going to tear up when I tell you this.
01:01:52But I love you like a brother, bro.
01:01:55And you know that.
01:01:56I got nothing but respect for you as a man,
01:01:58as a pro wrestler, and as a father.
01:02:00And it's unbelievable what type of daughter
01:02:02you guys have raised.
01:02:09But I'll tell you this, brother.
01:02:11I ain't going out like no punk.
01:02:13Look at me.
01:02:14No.
01:02:14Look at me.
01:02:15So either you pull the trigger, Eddie,
01:02:18or I will.
01:02:24It all goes down at Genesis one last time for JDC.
01:02:30Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:02:31it's time for our main event.
01:02:33Can Mike Santana reclaim what was ripped away from him?
01:02:36The TNA world title.
01:02:40Santana makes his first defense as champion.
01:02:45NXT stars have rushed the world champion.
01:02:50Frankie Kazarian has called his shot for the TNA world title.
01:02:55Amid chaos, Kazarian takes the crown.
01:03:01I'm right where I belong, and that is on top.
01:03:05Feeding this company into the next era.
01:03:07Leading TNA wrestling into the era of AMC.
01:03:12Frankie Kazarian.
01:03:14You got something that belongs to me, baby boy.
01:03:17Best believe that TNA world title is coming back home to Bobby.
01:03:26You see, I don't want to battle my demons.
01:03:29I want to dance with them.
01:03:31I will do anything, and I will walk out of Dallas, Texas,
01:03:35still TNA world champion.
01:03:39I think we forgot about someone.
01:03:41You two are going to beat the living hell out of each other.
01:03:45I know that you two are going to beat each other down to a pulp,
01:03:50because that's what this title is worth.
01:03:53Little old me is going to be waiting off in the wings.
01:03:56Ready to call my shot.
01:04:00Frankie Kazarian defends the TNA world title against Mike Santana,
01:04:06but the threat of Nick Nimitz will be looming.
01:04:14Please welcome TNA President Carlos Silva.
01:04:23What a great show tonight, and we've got yet another surprise.
01:04:28Guys, I'm so honored to introduce Texas' own,
01:04:34the former owner and president of TNA Wrestling, Dixie Carter.
01:04:46I cannot believe my eyes.
01:04:50Oh, my gosh.
01:04:54I cannot believe 24 years ago.
01:04:59How many of you have watched TNA almost that long?
01:05:04I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
01:05:09Thank you for all of you being here tonight.
01:05:11What an incredible honor.
01:05:13This company is on AMC launching a brand-new chapter.
01:05:18I couldn't be more proud of the locker room.
01:05:21All of you fans, thank you for everything you've done.
01:05:24It's a very sentimental night for me, so thank you guys so much.
01:05:29Oh, dear God.

01:05:38Please welcome one half of Team 3C
01:05:43and TNA Hall of Famer,
01:05:48Bowie Bay!

01:05:56in the history of TNA Wrestling
01:05:58occurred between these two years ago.
01:06:04I never thought I would see the day.
01:06:09My goodness, seeming like water under the bridge
01:06:13as Bowie Ray makes his way down here
01:06:15to join us for this huge main event.

01:06:34There are a few in the history of TNA Wrestling
01:06:37that can provide insight
01:06:39to the magnitude of this moment
01:06:42and especially to the TNA World Championship match
01:06:46we're about to see.
01:06:48Oh, my God!
01:06:49I'm so excited!
01:06:50Bowie Ray joining us on commentary.
01:06:52I can't believe my eyes.
01:06:53Did you just hug Dixie Carter?
01:06:55There wasn't a table nearby.
01:06:57It's the softer side of Bowie.
01:06:59It's the softer side of Bowie.
01:07:01Yes, I did.
01:07:02I hugged Dixie.
01:07:03It kind of made up.
01:07:05This is amazing.
01:07:06I'm so excited about being here,
01:07:08hanging out with you guys,
01:07:10helping to call the main event.
01:07:11Wow.
01:07:12Thank you for joining us.
01:07:13It's time for this historic main event.
01:07:17We're here to get it!
01:07:19Blessing you guys,
01:07:21Santana is gone.
01:07:22Hey, y'all!
01:07:23Stay born nasty!
01:07:25The rotten apple don't fall,
01:07:26fall from the rookie tree.
01:07:27Put the pressure now to spin the green.
01:07:30And as he always does,
01:07:33the realist Mike Santana
01:07:34coming through the sea of people,
01:07:37the people that brought him to this dance,
01:07:39the people that have had his back
01:07:41on this journey,
01:07:43this path of purpose he's been on
01:07:45throughout the last year
01:07:46to be at the top of this company.
01:07:49This is the loud, proud,
01:07:51and fearless beriqua
01:07:52from the Bronx, New York.
01:07:54For the past few years,
01:07:55we've seen the rise of Mike Santana,
01:07:58a man who conquered his demons
01:08:00with addiction every single day.
01:08:02A proud father
01:08:03who won the TNA World title
01:08:05for his daughter, Ariana,
01:08:07on her most important event,
01:08:08Bound for Glory,
01:08:09but a star of Fossey led
01:08:11to climb to the top
01:08:12only for it all
01:08:14to be ripped away, Bully.
01:08:16I have a lot of confidence
01:08:18with Mike.
01:08:19I know where Mike is coming from.
01:08:21We're both New Yorkers.
01:08:22We both came out of successful taxes.
01:08:25He's gotten to the top.
01:08:27I have a lot of confidence
01:08:28in Mike tonight,
01:08:29but I think those,
01:08:30Frank,
01:08:30I think Mike knows
01:08:31tonight you were dying.
01:08:34Tonight,
01:08:35can Mike Santana
01:08:36take his place
01:08:37to top TNA wrestling
01:08:38once again.
01:08:51Well, you know what they say.
01:08:54If you come for the king,
01:08:56you best not miss.
01:08:58And that man right there
01:09:00is the king of TNA.
01:09:03Bully, you know what it means
01:09:04to do whatever it takes
01:09:06for yourself
01:09:07to become TNA World Champion.
01:09:10Frankie Kazarian
01:09:11is a nice guy.
01:09:14Frankie Kazarian
01:09:15has finally figured out
01:09:17that nice guy
01:09:18is going to last
01:09:19in this industry.
01:09:20He is a grizzled,
01:09:22miserable veteran
01:09:24who now understands
01:09:25he needs to be selfish.
01:09:27Frankie's out for himself,
01:09:29and that's what he's going to need
01:09:30to retain that TNA World
01:09:32Heavyweight Championship tonight.
01:09:34Months ago,
01:09:35Frankie Kazarian
01:09:36took advantage of chaos
01:09:38created by NXT Outlaws
01:09:40and took the title
01:09:41from an injured Mike Santana.

01:12:24considering how hot-blooded

01:13:13goes for the
01:13:13rolling buck 50
01:13:14but a backstabber
01:13:15by Kazarian.
01:13:16I hate backstabbers.
01:13:18What a counter.
01:13:19That's ironic.
01:13:20Here's the cover
01:13:21and a kick out
01:13:21by Santana.
01:13:22Son of the way.
01:13:24Watch her mouth.
01:13:24Take another look at this.
01:13:26We gotta look at this.
01:13:27Santana ready
01:13:28for the rolling buck 50.
01:13:30Kaz saw it coming
01:13:31and absolutely annihilates
01:13:33Santana with the backstabber.
01:13:36That is the Wiley veteran
01:13:37that is the world champion.
01:13:39Driving the knees
01:13:40right into the spine.
01:13:42It hurts.
01:13:43We're joined on commentary
01:13:44by the TNA
01:13:45and WWE Hall of Famer,
01:13:47the two-time TNA World Champion,
01:13:49Bully Ray.
01:13:50Right now,
01:13:51Frankie Kazarian
01:13:52looking to bully
01:13:52Mike Santana.
01:13:54Boy,
01:13:54I don't think
01:13:54that's a good strategy.
01:13:56Santana's not having
01:13:57any of it right now.
01:13:59Sometimes that just
01:14:00fires a guy up
01:14:01and if you look at my...
01:14:02I can look right
01:14:03in Santana's eyes right now
01:14:04and I can tell you
01:14:05he ain't having any of it.
01:14:08He's feeding off of it.
01:14:13Santana
01:14:13absorbing
01:14:14and shot
01:14:14right back up
01:14:15onto his face.
01:14:18Santana,
01:14:18the hot-blooded
01:14:20Boricua
01:14:20from the Bronx.
01:14:22Both these men
01:14:23ran into AJ Styles
01:14:25earlier on
01:14:25tonight.
01:14:26Styles said
01:14:26he couldn't recognize
01:14:28the man of Frankie Kazarian
01:14:30he met all those years ago
01:14:31right here in TNA.
01:14:33AJ Styles
01:14:34told Mike Santana
01:14:36to win back
01:14:37the TNA World title.
01:14:39Become the standard
01:14:40of TNA once again.
01:14:43Ooh!
01:14:44Good old-fashioned
01:14:45shot, boys!
01:14:46Just absorbing that kick
01:14:48from Kaz
01:14:49and firing back.
01:14:50There is no quit
01:14:52in Mike Santana.
01:14:53It's Santana's
01:14:55first climb to the championship.
01:14:56He did it for his heritage.
01:14:58He did it for TNA wrestling.
01:15:00He did it for his daughter,
01:15:01Ariana.
01:15:02His own personal journey
01:15:03to sobriety
01:15:04helped fuel him
01:15:06to that moment
01:15:07at Bound for Glory
01:15:08back in October.
01:15:10Oh!
01:15:10Super kick!
01:15:11Mike Santana has said
01:15:13that tonight
01:15:14tonight is about him.
01:15:16Tonight he's
01:15:17doing it for himself!
01:15:18Buck 50!
01:15:19Is that enough?
01:15:20Cover!
01:15:21Snacks up the champion
01:15:22and a kick out!
01:15:23And a super,
01:15:24super good cutter!
01:15:26Kazarian didn't have an answer
01:15:28with a backstabber
01:15:28like he did him all
01:15:29to go!
01:15:30That was amazing!
01:15:31We gotta take another
01:15:32look back at this.
01:15:33Missed it before.
01:15:35Had it spotted
01:15:35this time
01:15:36and perfect!
01:15:38Rolling Buck 50!
01:15:39That's what he calls it
01:15:40to Rolling Buck 50!
01:15:41That's it!
01:15:42But not enough
01:15:43to put the world
01:15:44champion away.
01:15:46There's one thing
01:15:47we know about
01:15:48Frankie Kazarian
01:15:49Bully.
01:15:49He's grizzled,
01:15:50self-centered
01:15:51and conniving.
01:15:52Over 30 years
01:15:53in this business
01:15:54he'll do whatever
01:15:55it takes
01:15:56to hold on
01:15:56to the title tonight.
01:15:57Grizzled,
01:15:58self-centered
01:15:59and conniving.
01:16:00You're making
01:16:00my cold black heart
01:16:02feel so good!
01:16:03Because that's
01:16:04what it takes
01:16:04sometimes
01:16:05to be a champion
01:16:06in this industry.
