Short filmTranscript
00:02Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Lone Star State!
00:07We are in Dallas, Texas, and tonight the stakes couldn't be higher!
00:13We are DNA Wrestling, and we are live! The Countdown to Genesis!
00:19I am your host, Mean Gia Miller, and I am not alone here tonight.
00:25I've got a panel of some of the greatest minds, greatest voices in wrestling.
00:30First, to my left, many words I could use to describe this man.
00:35Extreme, legendary, we'll stick with those.
00:38This is Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom!
00:43Please be coming! Please be coming! Please be coming!
00:47Tonight, tonight, tonight, what a night we're gonna have here in Dallas.
00:52Genesis means the new beginning. I am so excited for what you're all gonna see here tonight.
00:59Thank you, Dreamer! Thank you, Dreamer!
01:02I also have the voice of Busted Open, Dave LaGreca!
01:10Let me tell you something, it is freezing outside, but it is hot!
01:16Here tonight, for TNA! Genesis! Let me hear ya!
01:26And last...
01:27TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
01:34And finally, not least, a former world champion, and the world's strongest man, Mark Henry!
01:44All right!
01:47All right! I appreciate that! I wanted some of what Dave had today!
01:53He was fired up, man!
01:54Hey, listen, I am excited to be here. I love the TNA brand, I love what they're doing, and I
02:01hope that y'all can follow them on all their social media platforms, as well as download everything that relates
02:09to TNA's pay-per-views.
02:11Genesis, and, listen, right now, this card is one of my favorite cards that I've seen TNA have in the
02:19last year or two, and I'm looking forward to seeing what goes on tonight.
02:24Amen! Amen!
02:25Well, gentlemen, thank you so much for being here tonight!
02:28We have got so much action!
02:31We've got our main event of Genesis!
02:33Nick Nemeth will defend his TNA World Championship against Joe Hendry!
02:40You see him arriving to the building right there!
02:44Earlier today, he arrived, and he is ready for that world title match against none other than the wanted man,
02:53Nick Nemeth!
02:55He, you see, is arriving to the building earlier today!
03:03But that's not all of the action we have!
03:06We've got knockouts action!
03:08Jordan Grace versus Tessa Blanchard!
03:11And you see here, Jordan Grace and Tessa Blanchard both arrived to the building safely earlier today.
03:19They were kept separately, because there was a lot of animosity going on between those two.
03:26You'll see here just how intense this rivalry can become.
03:36Tessa has brought a very different side of her.
03:40I don't think anybody was seeing, expecting to see her.
03:44Dreamer, were you expecting to see Tessa?
03:45I was not expecting to see Tessa.
03:48And listen, Tessa is a third-generation star with her roots deep here in Texas.
03:53And Jordan Grace is a star deep with her roots here in Texas.
03:58This is personal because of all the behind-the-scenes stuff and plus stuff you've seen in front.
04:04These two women are going to beat the living hell out of each other tonight, because it is personal.
04:09Trust me when I tell you.
04:10It definitely is personal.
04:12And let me tell you this, Jordan Grace is the foundation of this knockouts division.
04:17She has carried this division for the last two years.
04:20Tessa Blanchard is coming in, but we'll see if she can knock off a little of that ring rust in
04:25this ring at Genesis tonight.
04:27Man, listen, Jordan Grace had one of the most stellar years in 23, in 24.
04:36I look forward to seeing a continuation of that for the rest of this year in 25.
04:42Tessa, like I was saying earlier, Tessa's been gone for a while.
04:46Like, you know, like, is she going to be able to have the cardio to be able to go into
04:51deep water with somebody like Jordan Grace?
04:54And, you know, I just hate to choose sides, but, you know, I have to.
04:59She's from Austin, Texas. Let's go horse.
05:03Well, that match goes on later on tonight on Genesis.
05:09Tessa Blanchard versus Jordan Grace.
05:12It's going to be insane.
05:14We could talk all night, but let's hear from Jordan Grace herself.
05:18Her thoughts on this matchup on Genesis.
05:23Believe it or not, at one point in time, I wanted to be Tessa Blanchard.
05:27She had everything, but the one thing that she could never wrap her head around was the concept of respect.
05:35This company gave her everything and she abandoned it.
05:39There is a reason that Tessa has a separate locker room at TNA.
05:44And it's not because she's special.
05:46It's because she's scorned.
05:49I don't want her here.
05:50The locker room doesn't want her here.
05:52And most importantly, the fans don't want her here.
05:56So tonight, I'm going to do something that I know everyone will appreciate.
06:01And that's beat Tessa.
06:03And send her back exactly where she belongs.
06:07Into obscurity.
06:11Well, it's no mystery how Jordan Grace feels about Tessa Blanchard.
06:17I don't think she left any mystery to her.
06:19No.
06:19Yeah, but here's where I disagree with you, Mark and Dave.
06:22Tessa was crushing it down in Mexico.
06:25Tessa is a next level athlete, just like Jordan.
06:28These two women have a lot to prove.
06:30And when was the last time Tessa lost in a TNA ring?
06:34Think of that.
06:35That's a good point.
06:36Yeah, but you know what, Tommy?
06:37Tessa has to be a little nervous going into this match tonight.
06:41Jordan Grace already, I saw two hours ago, already had her game face on for this match.
06:46So, a lot of the pressure is on Tessa Blanchard.
06:49Hey, listen.
06:50And pressure busts pipes.
06:51Like, you can make a mistake very easily when the pressure's on you.
06:56Regardless of how well you've performed.
06:58I've been world champion.
07:00I've been a chaser of the championship.
07:02And both times, the energy was different.
07:05Like, what is her energy gonna be like?
07:07Is she gonna be able, when she gets tired, to answer the call when she really needs that?
07:14Well, with all of that being said, I think it's time to make some predictions.
07:18Dreamer, who's your victor?
07:23I gotta go with the juggernaut.
07:25Sorry.
07:26Okay.
07:26Okay.
07:27Dave?
07:28Jordan Grace.
07:29I mean, she has never disappointed these TNA fans.
07:32I don't think she's gonna do it tonight, either.
07:34You know, my man right here said,
07:37Oh, who are those bullcrap?
07:39But, I'm gonna have to go with Jordan Grace too, bro.
07:43Sorry.
07:45Well, that's a clean sweep across this panel.
07:48Because I'm gonna go with Jordan Grace too.
07:50I mean, I've watched all of the things that she's done in the past several years here in TNA.
07:55She has really carried the knockouts division on her back.
07:59I mean, really, the whole company on her back.
08:02But speaking of the knockouts division, we've got some knockouts world tag team titles on the line tonight.
08:11Oh, yeah.
08:12Spitfire will defend against Ash and Heather by Elegance.
08:20Gentlemen, how are we feeling about that match?
08:23Uh, this is another interesting matchup.
08:25I gotta tell you, I hate the concierge.
08:28He was trying to fix my suit earlier.
08:29I was like, there's no helping this.
08:31This is just how I look.
08:32I'm sorry.
08:33He's annoying.
08:34I don't like him.
08:35And he's going to try to get involved.
08:37And that's what worries me for the champs.
08:39Fair enough.
08:40Dave?
08:42Oh, there's no.
08:44How can I put my money against anybody else but Ash and Heather Elegance?
08:50I'm sorry.
08:51This says it all right here.
08:52Okay.
08:57I'm not going to side with Ash just because we have a long past.
09:02I grew up watching strength and conditioning shows.
09:07And she was one of the better fitness athletes that I got to see.
09:12We could talk about her all night.
09:14There's so much to say.
09:16We can.
09:16But I'm going with Spitfire.
09:17Okay.
09:18Spitfire.
09:19And I'm going to say Spitfire retains.
09:23But that's not all knockouts action we have.
09:27We've got a world title opportunity.
09:30Rosemary challenges against Masha Slamovich.
09:38So they tell us this is where we come to talk about sin.
09:44You want me to confess sins?
09:47How long you got?
09:52It's been seven long years.
09:56Since we last laid our hands on the Knockouts World Championship.
10:02And we do have a confession to make, Masha.
10:06We'll do anything to get it back.
10:09Seven years.
10:11It must have been hard.
10:14Waiting for those seven years.
10:16Watching everyone else pass you by.
10:22Passes by.
10:24More like replaced us.
10:26Everything that's been given to you used to be ours.
10:30The monsters fall.
10:32The demons dance.
10:33Countless hardcore matches.
10:36We were the epitome of violence in this company.
10:39The only one who took anything from you was you.
10:45When will you prove yourself?
10:47When will you prove yourself?
10:49You fall.
10:50Depress.
10:51All the monsters fall.
10:53Demons dance.
10:55And everything adds up to this.
10:57The Ravens.
10:58Clockwork Orange.
11:00I'm so sorry.
11:03Know.
11:04That you know.
11:06That you know.
11:07That you are stepping into this match.
11:10With one of the most violent knockouts in TNA history.
11:17You let the sin creep in darling.
11:21You're going to take your soul.
11:23Piece by piece.
11:25When I feel your blood running down my hands.
11:29And I can smell it in your hair.
11:31And I can taste it on my tongue.
11:33You're alive.
11:37You're alive.
11:38You're alive.
11:41You're alive.
11:42You're alive.
11:44We're either going to touch the sky.
11:47Or I'm dragging you to hell with me.
11:55Man.
11:58I've got chills.
11:59Not just because of hearing from those two women.
12:03But because this will be the first ever.
12:06All knockouts.
12:08Clockwork Orange.
12:09House of Fun match.
12:11So you're witnessing history here in Dallas.
12:16Now I'm so happy to have this panel here with me.
12:20But we're not alone.
12:21We are joined ringside by our broadcast team.
12:25Tom Hannafin and Matthew Raywalt.
12:28Gentlemen, how are you feeling tonight?
12:30We're really excited, Gia.
12:32Honestly, this is such an exciting time for everyone in professional wrestling.
12:36Earlier on this week, the partnership between TNA Wrestling and WWE was finally made public.
12:41There's just so many possibilities, crossover opportunities between NXT and TNA.
12:48They feel limitless.
12:50I mean, I've seen it all around the social media sphere.
12:54Some former friends of yours and mine have already made their thoughts and desires known to maybe show up in
13:00an impact zone, a TNA ring.
13:02And some of that might happen right here tonight at Genesis.
13:06You never know what can happen.
13:07That's the beauty of TNA Wrestling.
13:08This really is a new beginning for all of us in this company.
13:12We're so excited for what is possible in 2025, Gia.
13:15And we love the crossover of Busted Open Radio and TNA Wrestling.
13:19It's perfect.
13:21Awesome.
13:21I agree.
13:22Well, I know everyone's excited for you guys to be here.
13:26I mean, with this crossover happening, I mean, is there anyone you're expecting to maybe show up here tonight?
13:32I don't want to spoil anything, that's for sure.
13:35Oh.
13:35Oh, yeah.
13:35I mean, who knows what we're going to see tonight?
13:36So, you know something, Adol?
13:37I mean, I didn't say that, but you know now there could be some big surprises.
13:42That's fair.
13:42That's fair.
13:42That's fair.
13:43Good evening.
13:44Who's that?
13:44Wait.
13:45Oh, my God.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:49It is I, Miss NXT and A, Ariana Grace.
13:57Do you see what I did there?
14:00Very, very smart.
14:01I am so thrilled to be at Genesis, and as liaison, I would like to accept full responsibility
14:11and all of the credit for facilitating this beautiful relationship between NXT and TNA.
14:20What?
14:21So, you're welcome!
14:23What are you talking about?
14:25You're so welcome.
14:28This relationship is built upon respect.
14:33It's built upon talent.
14:36And, of course, a little bit of drama.
14:41And delusion.
14:43Which I love.
14:46Tonight, so many of my besties are here.
14:52But I won't tell you who.
14:55Because that would ruin the surprise, and honestly, I would never do that.
15:00But expect to see some familiar faces.
15:03It's going to be magnificent.
15:05It's going to be magnificent.
15:09Magnificent!
15:10Magnificent!
15:10Magnificent!
15:11Magnificent!
15:12Magnificent!
15:13Magnificent!
15:13Magnificent!
15:14Thank you, Ariana.
15:16You're welcome.
15:17By the way, you look good today.
15:20Aww.
15:21But only today.
15:23But only today.
15:23But only today.
15:25Wow.
15:25Ladies and gentlemen.
15:26It's not true.
15:27It's not true.
15:27But especially the ladies.
15:29Allow me to reintroduce myself.
15:33My name is Ashatay, the Adonis.
15:37And even on TNA, I am the main attraction.
15:48Dallas.
15:49Hey, if you're from Dallas, let me hear you make some noise.
15:55Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Dallas.
15:59How.
16:00About.
16:01Them.
16:01Commanders.
16:07Okay.
16:08Okay.
16:09Adonisly.
16:10Adonisly.
16:11Look.
16:12I'm really here to kick off the partnership between WWE and TNA.
16:21So I'm here to initiate an open challenge to any TNA superstar in the back that thinks
16:29they can hang with the Adonis.
16:31What's up with it?
16:33Anybody?
16:36Oh, and you shall receive.
16:41And maybe just a little bit more than you bargained for.
16:47So I shall see the Adonis from NXT has issued an open challenge on TNA turf.
16:53And it's been answered by the 265 pound powerhouse known as Jake something.
16:59And right now, we've got ourselves a referee.
17:02Let's go.
17:03That looks like this open challenge.
17:05It's official.
17:06It's on.
17:07It's been answered to Jake something is more than ready to go.
17:11There's the bell.
17:12Oh, and Adonis trying to get the jump on Jake something here as we officially christen
17:17the partnership between WWE and TNA wrestling here at TNA Genesis.
17:26Ashanti the Adonis really trying to give himself a first class introduction here to the TNA baseball, but
17:34a pretty nasty beginning in this impromptu matchup.
17:38He tried to introduce himself to all the ladies in attendance.
17:42I think, wouldn't Carmen Petrovic be kind of upset about that?
17:45Maybe it's that kind of thing if you're not in the same zip code.
17:48I don't know.
17:49But something is in the building with him right now.
17:52Oh, that was a horrible idea.
17:56Oh, and a huge forearm blast by Jake something.
18:01If this is your first time seeing Jake something, you are in for a treat.
18:05Absolute raw power.
18:07A freak athlete and has had a horrible temper for the bulk of 2024.
18:12Adonis.
18:13Oh, there's the airdrop.
18:14Drove Jake something throat first into the top rope.
18:17And now Adonis takes over.
18:18I mean, that's what you're going to have to do if you want to take down a beast like Jake
18:23something.
18:23Any which way you can.
18:25Use the rope.
18:25Use the ring.
18:26Use whatever you can.
18:27And do not stop.
18:29Some impromptu action here on the countdown to Genesis.
18:33And there is scheduled competition still to come here on the countdown to Genesis.
18:37We will see Leon Slater go one on one with Frankie Kazarian here live in Dallas, Texas.
18:43We invite you to follow along with all the action.
18:46TNA Wrestling is now on Snapchat.
18:49Go behind the scenes with exclusive content and be at us.
18:53This is TNA now on Snapchat.
18:56Something.
18:57Winding up here.
18:58Swinging for the fences with Ashante Adonis here.
19:04Off of the ropes.
19:05Oh!
19:06And able to level Jake something.
19:09Hey, but any which way you toss it.
19:11Here you go into the cover.
19:12Cover.
19:12Pressing the shoulders down.
19:13Kick out at one.
19:15Ashante Adonis is taking it to Jake something which is not something that a lot of people can say they've
19:21done.
19:22We invite you to scan the QR code that you can see on your screen right now.
19:26Genesis kicks off live on pay-per-view and especially TNA Plus in about 40 minutes time at 8 p
19:32.m. Eastern.
19:33Again, scan that QR code and subscribe now to TNA Plus.
19:36You haven't seen anything until you've seen everything.
19:41And Adonis there turning his back on Jake something.
19:44Even for the moment.
19:45Not something I recommend you do.
19:50But doing a great job here of keeping his foot on the gas pedal with the larger Jake something.
19:55We want to say hello to everyone watching us live and free on TNA's social and digital platforms.
19:59Of course, TNA Plus and live on Sportsnet 360 in Canada.
20:05What a bright future for TNA and Sportsnet 360 in 2025.
20:12We are kicking the year off.
20:14Oh!
20:15As far as our major live events, there's going to be a lot of them throughout 2025 kicking it all
20:20off here with Genesis.
20:22And we're already starting with impromptu action here.
20:25Jake something is picking up right where he left off this past Thursday night on impact as he defeated Laredo
20:30Kid in a hell of a matchup.
20:32Boot right to the face there by Ashanti the Adonis.
20:35Going up top.
20:36Oh!
20:37Shot down out of the sky.
20:43Good night.
20:44He ain't gonna be kissing anyone with those lips after that one.
20:51A little tribute to the Ultimate Warrior there.
20:54And now trying to set up.
20:56Could this be the end of Ashanti the Adonis tonight?
20:59Calls this into the void!
21:02Cover!
21:04Two!
21:04Welcome to TNA, Ashanti the Adonis!
21:09Here is your winner, Jake something!
21:15You step into the lion's den and you might just get bit.
21:20Jake something making a big statement as we kick off Genesis here.
21:24Jake something is a one man wrecking crew in TNA wrestling.
21:29We are just getting warmed up tonight in Dallas.
21:32This is Genesis.
21:38If you won't give me respect, then I'm gonna take it.
21:42The man who transcended professional wrestling in 2024.
21:45I have my shot at the TNA World Championship!
21:51One of the best wrestlers walking the planet.
21:53We are gonna beat the hell out of each other, steal the show, but I walk out as champ!
21:59TNA wrestling presents Genesis tonight on pay-per-view.
22:08Well, we've already seen just a taste of that crossover, so we're only getting started, so who knows how the
22:15rest of the nights will go.
22:17So, listen, we've talked about the partnership, we've talked about some knockouts action, but we've got to address the elephant
22:25in the room that is the system.
22:29Right, exactly.
22:31They've got quite a night ahead of them.
22:35Moose will put his next division championship on the line against Ace Austin, but we'll also see Brian Myers and
22:45Eddie Edwards face off against Eric Young and Steve Macklin.
22:49I mean, guys, you've seen a lot from the system.
22:53Dave, you already look like you've got something to say.
22:55Listen, they dominated 2024.
22:57Who knows what they're gonna do now that we're in 2025.
23:01It starts tonight, especially with Moose and what he's carrying with him, that X Division championship.
23:08Yeah, uh, that's...
23:11Oh, my gosh.
23:14Lord.
23:14Cannot get a word out.
23:16No, you can't.
23:17Shut the hell up, Tommy.
23:20You don't say anything!
23:21Dave, and Mark, we don't want to hear you.
23:26Like I promised a couple of weeks ago, at Genesis, I'm gonna debut what I have right here in this
23:35bag.
23:35A brand new X Division championship, fit for the face of the franchise.
23:44Talk to him, JDC.
23:56You know what, I feel like talking tonight, big man.
24:00I'm gonna go right down to that desk and do a little commentary for this next match.
24:04What do you think about that?
24:04I love it.
24:06Yeah?
24:12Well...
24:14Well...
24:15Well, I...
24:15That's just kinda how the system does things, clearly.
24:19And we will get to that action.
24:22But, we have other things to talk about first, including...
24:27So hated.
24:28So hated.
24:30The system.
24:30The world...
24:30There's so many...
24:31There's so many great things to talk about.
24:34Other than that.
24:35Yeah.
24:35Other than that.
24:36You know what?
24:37Let's avert and talk about something that we want to talk about.
24:41The World Tag Team Championships.
24:46The Hardys will put them on the line tonight against the Rascals.
24:52Listen, the Hardys, as everybody...
24:55There you go.
24:57They already know.
25:01Everybody loves the Hardys.
25:02The Hardys are legends.
25:04Matt and Jeff.
25:05I mean, they are first ballot Hall of Famers.
25:07There is no doubt.
25:08But it's a new year.
25:10And the Rascals, I really think this is their year.
25:13Tonight is the Rascals night.
25:15We're gonna see new tag teams.
25:19We're gonna see new tag team champions.
25:22The Rascals have idolized the Hardys.
25:25They looked up to the Hardys.
25:27They've actually had some mentorship from the Hardys.
25:32You want to be able to see somebody rise to the occasion.
25:37But against the Hardys, who have won on every continent.
25:42They've competed in every company.
25:45And right now in TNA, they are the cream of the crop.
25:50And I just have to go with the guys that put that time in.
25:54That's fair.
25:56All of you who don't know, the Rascals got into this business because the Hardys were their heroes.
26:01They were the inspirations.
26:02The beauty of what we do and the beauty of this business is we get to wrestle and hang out
26:07with our heroes.
26:08For me, I got to hang out with the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
26:11I got to wrestle Terry Funk.
26:14Tonight is a dream match come true.
26:17A first time ever for the Rascals.
26:20This is where dreams are made of.
26:22Like, literally.
26:22And for the fact that the Rascals get to do that.
26:25But to the other point, the Hardys are on this next level.
26:29I love Matt and Jeff.
26:31They have been the innovators of tag team wrestling for a long, long time.
26:34And I know I'm gonna get a lot of crap from Bully Ray.
26:36But I don't care about that.
26:38Guys, just sit back and enjoy this because it's a once in a lifetime of somebody who worships somebody.
26:45And you get to see it live in the ring tonight.
26:50Gia, Gia, it's a new era.
26:52It's a new era.
26:53And I think the face of the tag team division after tonight is gonna be the Rascals.
26:58Well, we could talk about it all night.
27:00Double and down.
27:01Double down on the Rascals.
27:02But let's hear about it and see all that we have in store for that world tag team title match.
27:12When you're talking about the TNA World Tag Team Championships, you are talking about the best of the best.
27:19And right now, those titles are being held by absolute legends.
27:23The dream tag team that we grew up watching.
27:31The Hardys have been reborn in 2024.
27:36Smoke them if you got them and the Rascals been blazing a trail, baby.
27:40We're making dreams come true and we're riding this high.
27:42I got a question for you.
27:44What do you guys think about the Rascals versus the Hardys?
27:49You can't run to die.
27:51It's time to come alive.
27:53What you got inside.
27:54That's how you survive.
27:56The two of you certainly remind us of us.
28:00You're invincible.
28:01You're hungry.
28:02You're extreme.
28:04In Dallas, Texas, Genesis.
28:06I think a big show like that deserves a big match like this.
28:11It's time to come alive.
28:13Into the battlefield.
28:15It's time to come alive.
28:16Welcome to the battlefield.
28:19The Hardy Train is the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
28:22It's moving full steam ahead and nothing stops the Hardy Train.
28:25Dallas, Texas.
28:26Get ready for the Rascals and the Hardys in what's going to be known as the Tag Team Wrestling Match
28:31of the Year.
28:32We're going to blow the group off the plate.
28:35Wow.
28:39I don't know about you, but that video package got me so live, dog.
28:43Oh, my God.
28:45Genesis.
28:46Sorry.
28:47Sorry.
28:48Dallas, Texas.
28:49Are you ready?
28:51Because the Rascals are.
28:52The Rascals woke up this morning and they had something to do.
28:55Did you know what we're here to do?
28:58We are challenging the Hardys for those TNA Tag Team Championships for the first time ever.
29:04Oh, my God.
29:06From the top of the dresser to the trampoline to the top rope.
29:10Hopefully, I get the Swanton Bomb Jeff Hardy tonight.
29:13Boy, it's a dream come true.
29:17Dallas, Texas.
29:18Genesis.
29:19It doesn't get bigger than this.
29:21Oh, man.
29:22We hope you're watching.
29:24Smoke them if you got them.
29:26The Hardys and the Rascals, we got all of them.
29:35They look ready.
29:36They look ready.
29:37They do.
29:38Their energy is just so infectious.
29:41Anytime I'm around the Rascals, I can't help but just get just as hype as they are.
29:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
29:49Okay, I'm sorry.
29:50I'm sorry.
29:50I'm sorry.
29:50Calm down.
29:51Calm down.
29:51But, Mark, after seeing what the Rascals had to say, are you still counting them out?
29:59I never counted them out.
30:01Okay.
30:01I just said that the Hardys have a lot of experience.
30:04They've been through many, many wars.
30:07Sure.
30:07And these guys, I give them all the respect in the world.
30:10They work hard.
30:11They want to be great.
30:12And they have a chance against their idols.
30:15Yeah.
30:16Listen, I might just be a cook, but this is when the Rascals take it.
30:22They take it tonight.
30:23New champion.
30:24I don't care.
30:25I don't care.
30:26It's the truth.
30:28Face it.
30:29It's the truth.
30:32Well, I mean...
30:35Personally, I've gotten really close with the Rascals over the last several years.
30:40You know, I knew them before they were even in TNA.
30:43And it's like Dreamer said, they have idolized the Hardys for so long.
30:49And while Zach and Trey, they might not be blood brothers, they're a different type of bond.
30:56It's that bond that you create when you're on the road every single day of the year.
31:03Just putting your body on the line, they have a bond that really is brotherly.
31:08I can't describe it any other way.
31:10And say it.
31:10Say it's their night.
31:11Say it's the Rascals night tonight, and we're going to see new tag champs.
31:16Say it, Gia.
31:17Say it, Gia.
31:18They want you to say it.
31:19Listen to them.
31:20You know what?
31:22I will always, forever, love the Hardys.
31:28But I think you might be right, Dave.
31:30I think we might have new tag team champions.
31:33Tonight, tonight, tonight.
31:35Tonight, new tag team champions in TNA.
31:39I always got to go with experienced Trump's youth, and the Hardys will find something,
31:44do something to pull one out.
31:46And they always say hardy countries in the Carolinas.
31:49I think hardy countries across the world, man.
31:52What they are doing for the fans.
31:55You know, like tonight.
31:58Again, the action you're going to see tonight.
32:00We all do this because we love you guys.
32:03And we have this heart, but you guys are our blood.
32:05This is the reason why we do this.
32:07This is why we bust our bodies for you guys.
32:09And we love you, too.
32:11Trust me.
32:11There's a bunch of men and women in the back that are going to go to the extreme for you
32:17guys tonight.
32:18We're going to have a packed house tonight.
32:19I couldn't be prouder of the men and women of what we're going to see tonight.
32:23Well, we're going to see so much.
32:26But before we get to that tag team title match, we got more action here on the countdown.
32:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
32:49Introducing first from the Yucca Valley, California.
32:53Weighing in at 220 pounds, Frankie Kuzarian.
33:00Well, we are set for more action here on the countdown to Genesis.

33:19You can subscribe to TNA Plus.
33:22You can see anything until you see everything.
33:24And Frankie Kuzarian, at some point, I have to imagine this year,
33:29is going to make sure we see everything in his hand.
33:32That infamous Call Your Shot trophy.
33:35Always remember that the king of TNA has an opportunity for any title.
33:40And we know he's had his eyes on that TNA world title.
33:44Frankie Kuzarian, by virtue of winning the Call Your Shot gauntlet,
33:47back and bound for glory in October.
33:49That means he can call his shot for a TNA title match of his choosing anytime, anywhere.
33:54He's made it very clear he wants the TNA world championship.
34:04And his opponent, from Bradford, England, weighing in at 198 pounds, Leon Slater.
34:13Some history between Leon Slater and Frankie Kuzarian that takes all the way back to their time in the United
34:19Kingdom.
34:20And speaking of which, TNA Wrestling is so proud to be collaborating with Blacksmith,
34:25the brand for premium wrestling merchandise, officially licensed.

34:37TNA and Blacksmith, forged by greatness.
34:41And we are joined here on commentary, as we heard moments ago, on the countdown to Genesis.
34:47A member of the system who has disrobed and gotten himself extremely comfortable.
34:52Woo! JDC is here on commentary.
34:55See, Tom, Tom, Tom, why do you keep yelling in my ears, man?
34:59I can turn him down, man.
35:00Can you turn him down a little bit? Why is he screaming?
35:02That one, that one.
35:03I brought you both a jacket.
35:05Actually, I'm sorry, I only brought one for you, man.
35:08I don't think they have him in kid sizes.
35:10No kidding.
35:11Look at that.
35:12Okay.
35:13Thresh from the hands of JDC.
35:14That's a gift.
35:15Sorry, Tim.
35:16That's a man.
35:16I'm sorry, Timmy.
35:17Thanks.
35:17Look at that.
35:20That's beautiful.
35:21Brand new TNA and Blacksmith here available now.
35:24Smells like the system, Tom.
35:26Smells like victory.
35:27Repulsive.
35:28So, here we go.
35:28This is Leon Slater, one-on-one with Frankie Kazarian and Rewalt.
35:32We saw how, a few weeks ago, Frankie Kazarian tried to convince Leon Slater to be his understudy, I guess.
35:38Basically, Frankie Kazarian wanted Leon Slater to carry his trophy around for him.
35:44A.K.A. offered a young kid the opportunity of a lifetime to learn from a veteran of this sport
35:49and one of the best to ever do it.
35:50Oh, God, yeah.
35:51How rude of Frankie Kazarian.
35:55Frankie Kazarian joined us on commentary this past Thursday night on Impact.
35:58Wasn't that fun?
35:59Didn't you have fun?
36:00Leon Slater defeated Trent Seven and Kazarian tried to jump Slater after the fact knowing that these two would be
36:05competing tonight here on the Countdown to Genesis.
36:07J.D.C., you went one-on-one with Leon Slater on the Countdown to Final Resolution last month and
36:13you cheated to beat Leon Slater.
36:15Cheated?
36:16He does it every week.
36:18Cheated.
36:18You had your feet on the ropes.
36:19I did not have my feet on the ropes.
36:21You absolutely did.
36:22Are you still wearing your contacts, Tom?
36:24No?
36:25Apparently not.
36:25I'm out here scouting Leon Slater for the system.
36:27We got our eyes on him, okay?
36:28And you're trying to distract me by innuendos.
36:32Come on.
36:32It's a big night for the system.
36:34That's why you don't get a jacket.
36:34Mr. Curtis, obviously, Moose will be defending his X Division Championship against Ace Austin.
36:40And then your buddies Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers of the system will be facing Steve.
36:44Oh!
36:44Here it goes.
36:45In tag team action tonight.
36:47And you are here.
36:48I am here.
36:49No, we see.
36:50He's here scouting, Tom.
36:51Did you listen?
36:52Oh!
36:52There by Slater.
36:54Why didn't he scout here?
36:55So what do you think of J.D.C.?
36:57What does he think of J.D.C.?
36:58I think he thinks J.D.C. is pretty good.
37:00Excuse me.
37:00Do you have three hours for me to tell you how I feel about myself?
37:03How do you feel about Leon Slater?
37:04Good upside.
37:05He's going to stop show pointing so much to the crowd.
37:07Look at him.
37:08These people don't care about him.
37:10They do not care about him.
37:12He's got to keep his eyes on the vet.
37:15Especially when you're in there with someone like Frankie Kazarian.
37:19Someone who's done pretty much everything there is to do in this business and still doing it at such a
37:23high level.
37:23My exact point.
37:25My exact point.
37:26He's trying to flip Frankie Kazarian once again.
37:28Kazarian able to catch Slater there in the corner.
37:30Watch this.
37:31Oh!
37:32Dumping Slater hard on the outside.
37:35Yeah.
37:36Yeah.
37:37They don't got to be fancy sometimes, folks.
37:39No.
37:40Simple yet effective.
37:42Yep.
37:44How old do you think Leon is?
37:46He is 20 years old.
37:48Wow.
37:49Started wrestling when he was nine in the United Kingdom.
37:51Over a decade of experience in his limitless potential.
37:54Write that down for me, Tom.
37:56Okay.
37:57Meanwhile, there's Frankie Kazarian who's been a part of TNA on and off for well over two decades.
38:02One of the originals of TNA Wrestling.
38:05Five-time X Division champion.
38:08One of the most decorated stars to ever compete in this company.
38:11Built this company from the ground.
38:12Oh!
38:13Finally, Tom.
38:14You have a little bit, a couple of nice words for Frankie Kazarian.
38:17Thank God.
38:17Slingshot, leg drop.
38:18Here's the cover.
38:19Kick out by Slater.
38:20Yeah.
38:20That was until early on last year.
38:23He stabbed his longtime friend, Eric Young, another TNA original, in the back and abandoned him.
38:28Then tried to pursue the TNA World Championship.
38:31He assaulted our reigning champion, Nick Nemeth, over the summer.
38:34During the lead-up to Slimversary, he low-blowed the TNA Hall of Fame.
38:38Oh, Rhino.
38:39And bowed for glory to win the call your shot gauntlet.
38:42Off the side-rushing legs.
38:44We've got a kick-out by Slater.
38:46Did you ask Frankie what colones were in tonight, Tom?
38:49I did not.
38:49I did.
38:50It's called Boar Hyde Beauty.
38:53We're deep here in Texas.
38:54Smells like a damn animal.
38:56In the best way possible.
38:58Smells like last night.
39:00Oh, and how?
39:01What happened last night?
39:03Yeah.
39:03Don't worry about it.
39:04A kick right to the midsection there by Kazarian.
39:07Able to double.
39:08Oh!
39:08Slater!
39:09Spinning.
39:10Neckbreaker.
39:12Cover by Kaz.
39:13Shoulders down and a kick-out.
39:15Kazarian calls himself the king of TNA.
39:19Again, with good reason.
39:20You laid out all the reason for that.
39:22Here's a guy who is the bedrock of this company.
39:25The foundation of what it all means to be a TNA wrestler here.
39:31Meanwhile, he's in there with one of the best young upsellers I've seen in a long time.
39:34I mean, I gotta ask JDC.
39:36What are you seeing?
39:36What can you-
39:37Oh!
39:38Right from Kowalski's school right there.
39:40But what can Slater do to get out of this situation, JDC?
39:44You're the vet too.
39:45He's gotta stop showbottling like I just said.
39:47He's gotta stop pandering to the crowd.
39:48He's trying to gain their affection.
39:51This crowd does not care about him.
39:53There will be another upstart coming along in a month or two and they'll just move right on to the
39:57next thing.
39:58That's why I'm out here.
39:59Maybe possibly to give him some guidance down the road.
40:02Shot right to the back of the neck.
40:04That's what Frankie Kazarian claims he's after with Leon Slater.
40:07Wants to, by his words, guide him in the right direction.
40:11It feels like Frankie Kazarian is just trying to use Leon Slater for his dirty work.
40:18Look, Leon Slater has all this potential.
40:20We keep talking about, obviously, people are seeing it.
40:23Veterans, incredible veterans like JDC, Frankie Kazarian are trying to take an interest in the kid,
40:28but he keeps rebuffing everything they're trying to say to him.
40:32Incredible veterans like JDC, Frankie Kazarian are trying to take an interest in the kid,
40:36but he keeps rebuffing everything they're trying to say to him.
40:40Oh!
40:41Boot right to the face here by Slater.
40:43Kazarian a little overzealous.
40:45Slater trying to push the pace.
40:47See if he can keep some of that bogus JDC was talking about.
40:51Single leg drop kick right to the face!
40:54There you go.
40:54That was impressive.
40:57The speed with which Leon Slater can close and strike is so impressive.
41:03Watch this one more time.
41:04Duck underneath and bam!
41:05Right to the side of the head.
41:06Beautifully done.
41:08Huge opening for Leon Slater here.
41:11A rare opening against a veteran like Frankie Kazarian taking advantage here from the top roof!
41:17A crossover!
41:19Cross body there!
41:21Oh, and a kick out by Kazarian.
41:25Not enough to put the King away, but a great start.
41:29Take a look at Slater flying out of your screen there.
41:32Almost had it, but the King stays in the fight.
41:35Crossed him up like Allen Iverson.
41:36Big fan of Ja Morant as well.
41:39Tremendous fan of basketball.
41:40Brings that type of mentality into the ring with them.
41:43Such a diverse athlete.
41:44Do they have basketball in England?
41:47Yeah, no, they don't, Tom.
41:49They don't.
41:50Back to the action, guys.
41:51Back to the action.
41:52On another shot to the neck there.
41:54And Frankie Kazarian has gone back to the neck a number of times in this matchup.
41:57Oh!
41:58Easy way to take down.
41:59A guy who's a bit of a high flower.
42:01You take out that thoracic spine.
42:03Oh!
42:03Going for the chicken.
42:04That would have been a perfect set up off of that attack.
42:07Uh-oh!
42:08Oh!
42:08And a low-arm blue thunder bomb!
42:11Cover!
42:12Oh, and a kick out by Kazarian.
42:16Impressive.
42:17Impressive.
42:18Impressive.
42:19Almost there, but not quite enough for young Leon Slater.
42:24And you said he's 20 years old.
42:26Yeah.
42:2720 years old.
42:28His goal is to become the youngest X Division champion of all time.
42:31That record belongs to the legend amazing Red.
42:34Set that record in 2003 at the age of 21.
42:38Time is ticking.
42:39And if he took some of the advice of some of these veterans,
42:41he might avoid situations like that and get to his goal.
42:46Leg drop right to the back of the neck there by the savvy, crafty veteran.
42:50Kazarian!
42:51And a slingshot cutter!
42:53He's won matches with this in the past.
42:56Can he do it here?
42:57No, a kick out by Slater.
42:58No.
43:01Leon Slater digging down deep.
43:04Credit where it's due.
43:06Just a two count for our referee Frank Gastineau.
43:09Good call there.
43:12And even Frankie there for a second looked like he couldn't quite believe it.
43:16A little, maybe a little frustration there.
43:18Hold on.
43:19Once again going for the chicken wing, JDC.
43:21To your point.
43:22Slater able to duck down.
43:23Hold on.
43:24Here's the cover kick out by Kazarian.
43:28Oh, wait a minute.
43:29Could it be time for fade to black?
43:31Was trying to drive Slater down.
43:33Slater countered.
43:34Oh, a kick out by Kaz.
43:35Great counter.
43:36Oh!
43:37A long leg coming into play.
43:40Sending Kazarian to the outside.
43:42I've seen this before.
43:42I've felt this before.
43:45Slater.
43:46He's got the crowd behind him.
43:49Looking to take off.
43:51Oh, it's a smart.
43:54Smart veteran.
43:55Smart veteran right there.
43:57Smart veteran.
43:59Hold on.
44:00No.
44:00Slater.
44:00Oh my God!
44:02Big play Slater!
44:04Hey!
44:05Get!
44:06You can't win on the floor, idiot.
44:09Hey!
44:10And Slater knows that.
44:11You can't win on the floor.
44:12You gotta get him in the ring.
44:14Get in the ring.
44:15Get in the ring.
44:17Get in the ring.
44:18Rookie.
44:1920 years old.
44:20Trying to teach a young kid.
44:22Slater is going up top.
44:24He's got Kazarian down.
44:26He's thinking about the Swanton 450.
44:28You've gotta see this to believe it.
44:31Oh!
44:32Kazarian.
44:33Eyes off the prize.
44:34Kazarian got the knees up.
44:36Handful of tights.
44:38Kazarian's pinned Slater.
44:40Here is your winner.
44:43Here is your winner.
44:45Kazarian.
44:50JDC.
44:51You're involved in the match.
44:52Perhaps when the Slaters lost.
44:55Too much showboating.
44:56Too much showboating.
44:57Too much showboating.
44:57I told you guys.
44:59Well ladies and gentlemen.
45:00Still to come tonight on Genesis.
45:02Alexander and Santana.
45:04In an I quit match.
45:08A man who has been dead set on rising to the top here in TNA Wrestling.
45:15Mike Santana fired up here.
45:19Pose.
45:20Wait a minute.
45:21Alexander's got a zip tie.
45:22And Alexander has incapacitated Mike Santana.
45:27Now it's time for me to get back to the path of purpose.
45:31And that's becoming the standard of TNA.
45:37Understand this.
45:39As long as I'm in TNA, you will never be the guy.
45:45I go through you and your entire squad in one night.
45:51And I prove that I am exactly who I say I am.
45:55And that's the nastiest ever.
46:00Oh!
46:02In the block.
46:03Nearly took his damn head off.
46:06And Chris is gone.
46:10And there goes Williams.
46:13Time to bring out the locking weapon.
46:18Incarus attacking Santana.
46:20That's going to call for a disqualification.
46:23Alexander with a C4 spike.
46:26Unfortunately, last week, Mike Santana, well, he sustained an injury.
46:31The last time I was screwed out of a title shot.
46:34I went through an entire system by myself.
46:39Mike Santana versus Josh Alexander.
46:43And then I quit match.
46:46Mike Santana believes that TNA World Championship is on his path for purpose.
46:51But standing in his way is the locking weapon.
46:55Woo!
46:56Whoa.
46:57Uh, woo and whoa is right.
47:00I mean, the intensity that both Josh Alexander and Mike Santana bring to the ring every single time.
47:08It leaves me speechless, truly.
47:10But this, this stipulation and I quit match.
47:13This, we're going to see a level of intensity from these two that I don't think we've ever seen before.
47:18Mike is, Mike is basically telling him, I don't think you're tougher than me.
47:23I don't think that you can go through as much as I'm willing to go through.
47:27Do you think that you can come to the ring and you can best me and beat me as a
47:32man?
47:32Not, not, not as a wrestler.
47:34This, this is a personal attack.
47:36Uh, I quit match means that I got more than you got.
47:40And I'm ready to see, I'm ready to prove it.
47:42And I agree with Mark because Josh Alexander is one of the best wrestlers in the world.
47:47But this isn't a wrestling match.
47:48This is an I quit match.
47:50And Mike Santana has taken a hard road.
47:52He didn't get this far without getting his dues and taking it and taking some punishment.
47:58He's willing to take it in the ring tonight.
48:00Man, Mike Santana.
48:01This is his night.
48:02This is the night that he's been waiting for.
48:04No disrespect to Josh Alexander, but Mike Santana has got a lot.
48:08Yeah.
48:08He's definitely a weapon, but you know, you have to bring more than a weapon to the ring.
48:13You have to bring your heart, bring your goods.
48:16Both men started in this company in the tag team division.
48:19They split, they went their separate ways.
48:22Mike is everything I love about professional wrestling, a redemption story, being open about
48:28his personal life.
48:29And Josh, something happened to Josh.
48:32Josh turned on his fans.
48:34He turned because of what losing the hardest part also is to say, I quit.
48:39I said I quit once in my life and it was to AJ Styles when he stuck a fork in
48:44my eye.
48:44And saying those words were the hardest things to ever come out of my mouth.
48:49But we'll see what happens tonight.
48:51It's going to be very, very physical, bloody.
48:55There's a lot of craziness going to happen.
48:57Craziness is for sure.
48:59I mean, I've never seen Josh Alexander quit though.
49:04I literally have never seen him quit anything in his life.
49:08But then again, I never thought I would see him turn on the fans either.
49:12So we're going to see all of that tonight.
49:16Who is going to quit?
49:18There's only one way to find out.
49:19And that's by watching Genesis.
49:21It all goes down later tonight.
49:23What also goes down is our main event.
49:28Nick Nemeth puts his title on the line against Joe Hendry.
49:32I will win!
49:372024 was a whirlwind.
49:43Joe Hendry is here in NXT!
49:52Congrats to Joe Hendry.
49:54His song is trending worldwide on Apple and Spotify.
49:58Could Joe Hendry carry a company on his back?
50:02Could Joe Hendry be the world champion?
50:05The biggest single opportunity of his career.
50:11John Layfield!
50:14Oh my God!
50:17Danger Zone!
50:20Oh my God!
50:21Danger Zone!
50:23Oh my God!
50:25And still, TNA World Champion, Nick Nemeth!
50:34It is an honor, a privilege, and I'll defend it to the day I do.
50:39I will die.
50:39And I know how bad you want this.
50:42And I don't know that you're quite ready for it, Yeti, for it, ready for it.
50:45In this situation, at this level, you don't have unlimited tries.
50:50I've seen hundreds of people like you come and go.
50:5415 minutes of fame, right down the train!
50:56There is a reason the wanted man is wanted all over the world as the TNA champion.
51:01Because I am the best.
51:05My fear was that I could have slipped and fallen back, but I have another chance.
51:11Standing ovation, we still believe!
51:14The moment of glory!
51:18Nick Nemeth is one of the best in-ring performers to ever do this.
51:23And I have just one try left to show that the fans were right to prove that their belief in
51:30me was warranted.
51:32This isn't just a chance for a shot.
51:36This is an entire different level.
51:38I have to win this!
51:41And at Genesis, we're gonna begin a new era in TNA.
51:46And it's gonna start with me lifting the TNA World Championship!
51:54Everyone knows that we will be getting the best damn main event at Genesis.
52:00Joe Hendry versus the wanted man for the best damn title in the game.
52:11Now, we're gonna give our predictions for that main event later on tonight.
52:16So, hold your tongues, boys.
52:18I know we want to talk about that match.
52:20But before we can, I want to know, what are each of you looking forward to the most tonight?
52:26Mark, let's start with you.
52:28You know what, I really have to honestly say that watching Joe Hendry and our own Nick Nemeth,
52:35who is a host on Busted Open, I'm looking forward to seeing these two guys go at it.
52:41For different reasons.
52:43You know, the main reason with Nick is Nick is a champion.
52:47He's been a champion everywhere he's ever been.
52:50And Joe Hendry has everything championship material that you can find in a wrestler.
52:57The people love him.
52:59The people chose him.
53:00It's not just that he's a good wrestler, a good entertainer, that he has his cool music
53:05and all of the things that go with it.
53:07It's the fact that Joe wants it and he has all the tools and just never had the opportunity.
53:14That's bound to be an incredible match.
53:16Dave, what are you looking forward to tonight?
53:18One of my all-time favorite matches was Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard at Starrcade.
53:23I quit match.
53:24I am looking forward to Josh Alexander and Mike Santana and I quit match.
53:29They are going to literally kill themselves tonight in that ring.
53:33That is most likely.
53:36Now, personally, I'm looking forward to that first ever all knockouts,
53:41Clockwork Orange, House of Fun match.
53:43I mean, and especially with someone like Masha Slamovich and Rosemary involved in this match,
53:50you know it's going to get absolutely insane.
53:54Dreamer, what are you looking forward to?
53:56That's my match too.
53:57Rosemary and I, we shared a lot of violence together.
54:01I've tagged with her.
54:03However, she picked a Ravens Housework of Clock Orange type of match.
54:08And I don't like Raven.
54:11And also, Masha is a violent woman.
54:15We also were trained by the same trainer, WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rods.
54:19And Masha's improvement in her speed in the ring alone in the last three months is insane.
54:26I think Rosemary is going to have to keep up with her.
54:30Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for tuning in to the Countdown to Genesis.
54:37I am your host, Gia Miller.
54:40Thank you, gentlemen, for sitting down with me this evening.
54:43It's been a pleasure to have you out here.
54:46I know there's so much to get to.
54:48I can't even contain the excitement.
54:51They're going to have to put me in a straight jacket and take me out of here.
54:54I'm sorry.
54:55I'm sorry.
54:56Guys, that's all we have for the Countdown to Genesis.
55:01But we're going to hear from Joe Hendry and Nick Nemeth one last time.
55:17Say his name and he appears.
55:20Tonight is the night.
55:22Nick Nemeth defends the TNA World Championship.
55:25The richest prize in the game against Joe Hendry.
55:30Against me.
55:31I've put in the work.
55:32I overcame all the obstacles.
55:34And tonight is my chance to prove that I am exactly who I say I am.
55:40And that is the face of TNA Wrestling as your new TNA World Champion.
55:46And when I do it, the entire world will be chanting.
55:52We believe.
56:00We believe.
56:02We believe.
56:03We all believe.
56:03I've seen it.
56:04I've felt it.
56:05I've heard it on the streets, on social media, all over the world, in the crowd.
56:10Everyone believes in Joe Henry.
56:13Hell, even I do.
56:15But there's believing and knowing.
56:19And I know how damn good I am.
56:21I know what it takes to get to the top.
56:24I know what it takes to stay on top.
56:26I know what it takes to outdo yourself every single night as you steal the show left and right.
56:32You want to be the best.
56:33You have to beat the best.
56:35Joe, you're looking at it, brother.
56:39Tonight, TNA Genesis.
56:40There's something special in the air.
56:42There's some magic in the air.
56:43And you know you're going to see me do what I do better than anyone else in this business.
56:47Joe, everyone's behind you.
56:50And they should be.
56:52But when it comes to the wanted man, all that matters is being the best.
56:59And I prove it tonight.
57:00As I walk out.
57:04TNA World Champion.
57:10That is how damn good I am.
