00:29This week on TNA Explosion, the Don West.
00:33You've got to be kidding me.
00:34Top five trending topics of the week.
00:36In case you missed it, and in our main event, it's knockouts action.
00:40As Indy Hartwell goes up against Gabby Forza.
00:44But first, with the return of Lockdown on August 23rd,
00:48live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus in Chicago, Illinois.
00:51We're looking back at Lockdown 2012,
00:54where Jeff Hardy faced Kurt Angle one-on-one inside a steel cage.
00:59This is From the Vault, presented by TNA Plus.
01:09You never know. You never know with Jeff Hardy. He's a wild card, man.
01:12He's very unpredictable.
01:13But I will say this.
01:15It's different as Angle and Hardy are from each other.
01:18And their backgrounds and whatnot.
01:20The two things that they have in common
01:22is their work ethic, easy for me to say,
01:25their work ethic and their passion.
01:28Their passion to be the best.
01:31You don't reach this point in the profession
01:34without those two elements
01:36and these two superior athletes as well.
01:40Of course, no denying the accomplishments
01:43of Kurt Angle, the Olympic gold medalist.
01:46And Jeff Hardy absolutely set to bring it tonight
01:50here inside the steel cage,
01:52but it's Angle in the early going.
01:54Well, I've had the opportunity
01:55and been lucky enough in my career
01:56to have the chance to wrestle both of these men
01:59at different times.
02:00And so I've been in the ring
02:02with both these amazing competitors.
02:04So I can tell you they're both,
02:06both of them, very dangerous in there,
02:08and very tough to prepare for
02:10to compete against each of these men.
02:12So the mixture of them against each other,
02:14to me, is magic.
02:23All Angle from the outset
02:24before Hardy tries to turn it around
02:26and does.
02:27Drops him in his tracks first with an elbow.
02:30Then takes him up, inverted a drop,
02:32and then quickly turns it around.
02:33And then drops both legs right across the chest
02:35and then that drop kick right into the face.
02:45See, Kurt right there,
02:46just like went to the eyes, I believe.
02:48And hey, sometimes you gotta take a shortcut.
02:50See right there, Kurt Angle,
02:51the right knee heavily wrapped up.
02:55Some ace bandages, some tape.
02:56He's got a little kind of limp in his step.
02:58I mean, uh...
02:59Knee or a hamstring?
03:00I'm not sure.
03:01I mean, I believe he went public
03:02and talked about the injury.
03:04He hurt a training.
03:05You know, training, he was getting ready,
03:06you know, to compete in the games,
03:09in the Olympic Games,
03:09and he injured a training.
03:11It's going to be interesting to see
03:13as this match progresses
03:16if that has any impact
03:18on Kurt Angle's offense
03:20here against Jeff Hardy.
03:21To this point,
03:23it's been mostly Kurt Angle,
03:26and he's not been favoring the leg.
03:28Well, listen, look,
03:30the thing with Jeff Hardy,
03:31you've got to really be careful.
03:32this guy is loaded
03:34from resiliency.
03:36Jeff Hardy is just tenacious
03:38and resilient.
03:39There's no stopping himself.
03:41Yeah, you can't count him out.
03:41No, man, no.
03:43You really can't.
03:44Look at that.
03:45Oh!
03:45Beautiful.
03:47High up into the air
03:48goes Hardy in the corner.
03:51Yeah, he took himself out on that, Jeff.
03:52Did he?
03:53I think the way he landed.
03:54Back of his head.
03:57Went with such impact
03:58and such force
04:00out of the corner
04:01into the chest
04:01of Kurt.
04:02with the back of Hardy's head
04:04and snapped
04:05as he went
04:06right off the mat
04:07and quickly in the corner.
04:08Overhand right.
04:12Don't be mistaken now.
04:14Listen, Kurt Angle,
04:14he's definitely loaded
04:15with intensity,
04:16but so is Jeff Hardy,
04:17the charismatic enigma.
04:19He's got no problem
04:20with intensity.
04:21Oh, my God.
04:22That time,
04:22the momentum
04:23of Jeff Hardy
04:25came back to haunt him.
04:26Sure did.
04:27You see that grin,
04:28that smile on the face
04:30of Angle.
04:31Almost as if
04:32Hardy fell right
04:33into a trap.
04:34Sure did.
04:34He was a little
04:35overzealous.
04:36Again,
04:36that reckless style.
04:37That reckless style.
04:39Sometimes it's great.
04:40Especially with someone
04:41to the level
04:41of a Kurt Angle
04:42and his experience
04:43and his big match experience.
04:45Watch Angle stalk
04:47as he circles behind Hardy
04:50to get the positioning
04:51that he wants.
04:52Delivers the boot
04:53with authority
04:54to the back of the head.
04:58Kurt trying to block out
05:00the crowd here
05:01in Nashville
05:02at lockdown.
05:05Look at that.
05:06Kurt just smiling
05:07before he's grabbed
05:07at that hamstring.
05:08He sure did, didn't he?
05:09Oh, he felt it.
05:10That quick twitch muscle
05:12and that snap.
05:13I mean, tell us
05:14about that kind of a suplex
05:15and the effect
05:16that it could have.
05:16A suplex is conducted
05:18with all hips and base.
05:19Your legs are your base.
05:20So he felt it
05:21in his base, man.
05:22I don't think he realized
05:24until it happened.
05:26After he did the throw.
05:28Wow.
05:29I think he kind of
05:30has adrenaline
05:30that got hung up
05:31in a moment, Kurt.
05:34He's obviously not
05:34trying to hide his end.
05:35No, but he hasn't
05:36favored it at all
05:37ever since.
05:38I'm with you.
05:38I saw him reach down
05:39as well and grab it.
05:42But then he immediately
05:44takes Hardy
05:44and slams him
05:46against the cage
05:47and yeah,
05:47the charismatic enigma
05:48trending now on Twitter.
05:51Well, trending.
05:52He might need
05:53an oxygen tank
05:54or something
05:54or a small army
05:55to stop this onslaught
05:58of Kurt Angle.
06:01New general manager
06:02of Impact Wrestling.
06:04Hulk Hogan.
06:06He's the one
06:07that's behind this match
06:08for Jeff Hardy
06:09and Kurt Angle
06:10in the steel cage.
06:12Oh, man.
06:13Look at this.
06:14Bruesome right there.
06:16Kurt Angle
06:16driving,
06:17raking the face
06:18of Jeff Hardy
06:19across the steel links
06:21of the steel fence
06:22of the cage.
06:25Wow.
06:30Angle dragging
06:31the body back
06:33towards the middle.
06:35Go ahead.
06:35Interrupted, Mike.
06:36I apologize.
06:37I think he's bleeding.
06:37I think Jeff's bleeding
06:38a little bit.
06:38I think we can see
06:39some blood on the canvas,
06:41right?
06:41He's got a lot of hair.
06:42It's hard to tell
06:42with the hair.
06:43He's got all sorts
06:44of ink and paint.
06:45I don't know
06:45what's going on,
06:46but I thought
06:46there might have been
06:47some blood there,
06:49but...
06:51I can't...
06:52It looks red.
06:53I don't know
06:53what it is.
06:54You never know
06:55stuff to be oozing
06:55out of this guy.
06:56You never know, Jeff.
06:58Oh, my God.
06:59Oh, man.
07:00Right here in front of us.
07:01And I think that time
07:02as the hair of Hardy
07:04flew back.
07:05Kaz, right here
07:06you can see
07:06the blood coming
07:07from his head.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Well, that right there
07:09was...
07:10That last one...
07:12Yeah, now there's
07:12no question
07:13with the overhead camera.
07:14The speed that
07:15Kurt built up
07:16while holding
07:17the back of the head
07:19of Jeff Hardy
07:20while he drove
07:20his face
07:22into the steel
07:23of the cage
07:25was just
07:25something nasty.
07:27Look at his head.
07:27And you know
07:28that each time
07:28Angle takes Hardy
07:29and throws him
07:30into the side
07:30of the cage.
07:31He's thinking
07:32Angle is
07:33about his son
07:34Cody
07:34and the fact
07:35that Cody's
07:36favorite wrestler
07:37is Jeff Hardy
07:37who takes him
07:38turns it around
07:39on Angle
07:40then comes flying
07:41back with the
07:41clothesline.
07:45He's reached five
07:46as Kurt gets up
07:49to his knees
07:50and gonna try
07:51and use the ring ropes
07:52just to get back
07:52up to his feet.
07:53Hardy...
07:54Hardy's back up
07:55first.
07:55First offensive move
07:57is a running
07:58clothesline.
07:59Back elbow
08:00followed
08:00by Hardy.
08:01Now he's got
08:02Angle set up
08:02in the corner.
08:05Other thoughts
08:06but it's turned
08:07around by Kurt.
08:09Hardy back.
08:10First the elbow
08:11to the head.
08:11Double sledge
08:12in the corner.
08:13Here he goes.
08:14Nice reversal
08:15by Angle.
08:16Ran into that
08:17back elbow.
08:17Look at this!
08:18Whisp!
08:18And the wind
08:19out of the corner.
08:20Oh my God.
08:21What a shot.
08:22Hits it just this quick.
08:23He's got it!
08:23He's got it!
08:24He's got it!
08:26Two plus
08:27on the pin attempt
08:28before Angle
08:29fires the shoulder
08:31up to stop the count.
08:32Hardy!
08:33Hardy!
08:35Hardy!
08:36Hardy!
08:37Hardy!
08:38Hardy!
08:38Hardy!
08:39It's typical
08:40typical Jeff Hardy
08:41how he just comes
08:42and fights him
08:43underneath
08:43and keeps battling
08:44and he don't stop
08:45and it's typical
08:46Kurt Angle
08:47to bring that
08:48heavy offense.
08:49Oh nice counter there!
08:50Leg power
08:51leg strength
08:53of Hardy
08:54is evident
08:54as he uses
08:56his legs
08:57to snap Kurt
08:58headfirst
08:59into the side
08:59of the cage
09:00doubles him over
09:01could be the twist
09:01oof!

09:04of a
09:05like a stoner

27:26Yes!
27:32The righteous have been deleted!
27:39Now they must be cleansed.
27:59This marks a new chapter for the Hardys.
28:02We are forever.
28:05And then some.
28:12And now, here on TNA Explosion, it's time for the Don West You Gotta Be Kidding Me Top 5 Trending
28:19Topics of the Week in honor of the late great TNA Hall of Famer, Don West.
28:25At number five, this week on Impact, we saw Indy Hartwell and Jada Stone join M by Elegance in the
28:33semifinals of the TNA Knockouts TV title tournament.
28:36You can watch back their matches on demand on TNA Plus and head to TNA social and digital platforms to
28:42check out the updated bracket.
28:46At number four, on Impact this week, the suit, Derriere made it very clear that performance matters, that wins and
28:53losses matter here in TNA Wrestling.
28:55And unfortunately, Derriere is targeting Harley Hudson, who has struggled as of late in TNA Wrestling.
29:02Will Derriere terminate Harley Hudson's contract?
29:06One thing's for sure, Hudson needs to start winning.
29:10At number three, this match has been made official for lockdown.
29:14The Elegance brand and Demon Bunny will face off for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team titles inside the Steel
29:22Cage.
29:23That's on August 23rd, live on Pay Per View and TNA Plus in Chicago at lockdown.
29:29At number two, also made official for lockdown, the Nemeth brothers will be challenging the Hardys for the TNA World
29:37Tag Team titles at lockdown.
29:40But before we get to lockdown, Jeff Hardy will have a one on one opportunity against Nick Nemeth in a
29:47TNA World Championship matchup.
29:49If Nemeth can somehow get past Jeff Hardy, whom he's never beaten one on one, can Jeff Hardy become a
29:56double champion at lockdown?
29:59And at number one, speaking of champions, we have a brand new TNA International Champion, Jason Hotch.
30:08Hotch dethroned the leader of Order 4, Mustafa Ali, in the main event of Impact this week, live in Philadelphia
30:16to win his first major championship.
30:20What is next for the new TNA International Champion, Jason Hotch?
30:27Still to come in our main event, the Knockouts take center stage, Gabby Forza goes one on one with Indy
30:34Hartwell.
30:35But up next, we return to lockdown 2012, where the Motor City Machine Guns challenge Magnus and Samoa Joe for
30:43the TNA World Tag Team titles.
30:45It's more from the vault presented by TNA Plus when we return on Explosion.
30:54Welcome back to TNA Explosion.
30:57And now it's time for more from the vault presented by TNA Plus.
31:05Let's save it again. He is just, they are just utilizing him, keeping him right where they want him, and
31:12picking his body apart to try to retain the World Tag Team Championships.
31:19Tail of two matches to this point, challengers right from the outset took control.
31:25But ever since that offense from the guns, Magnus and Joe have used the power game to shut down Saban
31:34and Shelly.
31:39Nice counter, you can hear Alex Shelly saying Saban, come on. Saban's got to try and get over there and
31:44tag Alice into this match.
31:46He's close. Nobody there.
31:51Twisting move by Magnus, ending up with Saban being driven back first to the canvas, and now Joe in.
31:58You can see where they're focusing their offense. Snap of the suplex, leech to a pin and a two for
32:03Joe.
32:04The nice snap suplex by Samoa Joe really got his hips nice and low and quickly popped him. Saban went
32:11for a ride quickly.
32:18And the champs continue this game plan that we've seen with the ring being cut off. Is Saban going to
32:25try and fight his way out of the corner?
32:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this. How about that?
32:28Oof! Boot for Magnus. DDT for Samoa Joe.
32:32But Saban's got a long distance, a long way. Sure does.
32:36To make it to the corner to get the tag in to the freshman, his partner, Alex Shelly.
32:40Great job by Saban as he had the front headlock to kick Magnus off that apron and just drill that
32:46twisting-like DDT.
32:49See Joe trying to hook onto the foot. Oh, there it is! There we go!
32:54Shelly meets Magnus in mid-ring. Series of forearm shots. Then goes discus forearm and then the big boot.
33:02You can just imagine Alex Shelly. Oh, he's going to go for sliced bread there. Oh, Shelly.
33:07Got no sliced bread but able to take Magnus down into the corner and then stack up Joe.
33:11Uh-oh. Well-placed kick to the side of the face right there by Alan Shelly.
33:18If you keep this thing going, we might have new tag team champions. Here's your sliced bread.
33:23Oop, nope. A little green mold on the bread. A little green mold.
33:28Magnus takes Shelly up into the corner, countering, blocking the move.
33:33And now the champs head to the corner from behind. Saban doing his damnedest to try and knock him down.
33:44Whoa! Whoa! Powerbomb on Samoa Joe.
33:55Magnus and Shelly fighting at the top. Oh, my God.
33:57Did you see that right off the side of the steel cage goes the head of Magnus.
34:03Shelly's got him in his sights and the double foot stomp off the top.
34:07Here's the cover. Here's one. Here's two. Joe for the save.
34:13Big time save by Samoa Joe. Might have crowned new champions right there if Joe didn't make that save.
34:20Oh, my God.
34:22Side of the cage uses a weapon by the guns as Joe goes head first.
34:27Now Shelly and Saban double-team kicks on Magnus.
34:31Look at this. Oh! Could do it. Could be new champs.
34:35Sit down, cover by Shelly. No, just two.
34:38Good job right there. Good job. Able to kick out of that.
34:44Sense frustration from Shelly not getting the three count on the double-team.
34:50Watch this now, Michael. Look at this.
34:51Saban motions. They're going to finish him off, but Joe comes in.
34:54Not only pulls Magnus out, but applies the rear naked choke to Saban.
34:59Got that choke on him. Look at Magnus. He's got a full Nelson, it looks like, on here.
35:05And that's counter out of that. Joe's going to choke out Saban.
35:10Uh-oh. Going for that sliced bread, buddy.
35:13Here it is. And he hit it. Oh, he got it.
35:15Shelly hit it. Here it is. Here's the cover. Here's two.
35:18And Joe gives up the choke to come across and break up the pin.
35:20He had to. And that, that, that could piss you off if you got a good submission in on the
35:25guy.
35:26And you got to break it up to save your partner. But Joe had to. You're right.
35:32Oh, they're going for that. Yeah, we've seen this double-team move.
35:35Snap Mayer elbow drop. This time the elbow drop does not connect.
35:38Shelly rolls up Magnus. Shoulders down. Oh, just two.
35:41Oh, big boy Magnus able to roll through that. That was close.
35:48That's the first time we've seen them miss that Snap Mayer elbow.
35:52That has been a double-team combination that has gained them so many victories,
35:56including the tag team titles.
35:59And he keeps going for the sliced bread. Oh, doesn't deliver.
36:03This time the big slam by Magnus. Oh, Joe out of the corner.
36:07Uses Saban as a weapon against his own partner, Shelly. Dropping him down across his chest.
36:12Didn't work the first time. Will it work this time? Snap Mayer. Elbow. Cover. Pin. And three count.
36:21Your winners and still world tag team champions, Magnus and Samoa Joe.
36:30That was several times during that match where we almost crowned new tag team champions.
36:35That was not easy for the champions. They found a way to get it done.
36:40And they retained their titles. Not easy, Mike. I'm telling you.
36:45The return of the Motor City Machine Guns. Their first opportunity to once again hold the gold
36:51to become world tag team champions comes up short, but it was an incredibly competitive match.
36:58Up next in our main event, it's Indy Hartwell up against Gabby Forza. This match is next on Explosion.
37:10Welcome back to TNA Explosion. And now it's time for our main event.
37:23Following contest is scheduled for one call. Introducing first from Long Island, New York, Gabby Forza.
37:31We're set for action here inside the Broadview Center in Albany, New York.
37:36What an opportunity this is for Gabby Forza.
37:39Absolutely. And an incredible opportunity for the TNA fans to see someone who's been on the rise on the independent
37:46scene lately.
37:48I can't wait to see what Gabby Forza brings to us here on Explosion.
37:53In life, there are unfortunately young people who are told they don't belong in one way or another.
37:58Gabby Forza found a safe space despite facing adversity.
38:02Say hello to your homie the Nomi, Gabby Forza.
38:12And her opponent from Melbourne, Australia, Indy Hartwell.
38:20Meanwhile, I know you're homies with Indy Hartwell.
38:22I know you're very excited about this match.
38:24Do you?
38:24Absolutely. One of my lifelong friends, Indy Hartwell.
38:28She is excited to get to face off against Gabby as well.
38:32Because like I said, she has a bit of a reputation, but it's gonna take a lot to get through
38:39Indy Wrestling.
38:41Can I ask you a question?
38:43Of course.
38:43You're a lifelong friend.
38:44Lifelong.
38:45Lifelong.
38:46From here on out.
38:46You and Indy have known each other since your upbringing in Australia.
38:51No, no, no, no, no.
38:52No?
38:52The rest of our lives.
38:53The rest of our lives.
38:54We're gonna be friends for the rest of our lives.
38:56Starting now.
38:57Uh, yeah.
38:58Starting right now.
38:58Starting right now.
38:59And speaking of starting right now, these two knockouts are already getting after it.
39:05Forza, trying to back up Hartwell into the corner.
39:11Fans here in Albany who are certainly behind this knockouts matchup.
39:14Absolutely both of these women with strength on their side.
39:20Like I said, Gabby Forza, a seven-time All-American linebacker in women's professional tackle football and a two-time
39:30national champion.
39:32She's got quite the history.
39:35Forza has a powerlifting background as well.
39:38Yeah.
39:38But trying now for Team USA, women's football, multiple times trying to represent this country in the Olympics.
39:44And, uh, she's hospitalized seven people in women's football.
39:47She's pretty powerful.
39:49Let's hope that Indy isn't the eighth.
39:54Hartwell, decorated former champion here in professional wrestling going up against Forza.
39:59It's time for an Oakland Nola stampede.
40:06Right to the face there by Hartwell.
40:09Keeping Forza at bay.
40:11No!
40:12No!
40:12Big lariat there by Indy.
40:14What?
40:15Running Bulldog center of the ring.
40:18Both of these women, like I said, have strength on their side, but Indy has something that Gabby doesn't.
40:24She's got those long limbs, so she's able to keep her opponent farther away.
40:29Boot right to the face.
40:30Here's a cover by Hartwell.
40:32Oh!
40:32Shoulders down and a kick out.
40:34Oh!
40:36Oh!
40:36Gee, we're, of course, in the wake of Lockdown pay-per-view on August 23rd in Chicago, Illinois.
40:42You can get your tickets now via TNAwrestling.com.
40:45I know you're excited for Lockdown to be back for the first time in a decade.
40:48I'm so excited you're gonna have to lock me up.
40:50Oh!
40:52Put me in a straight jacket.
40:54Okay, now I got it.
40:55Big fall away slam there by Gabby Forza.
40:57Gabby discovered gnomes at a young age when she needed a safe space, needed to find some friends, and she
41:05absolutely did that.
41:07Then discovered this crazy world of professional wrestling and discovered there's a whole world of people who like the same
41:13things she liked.
41:14That's the beauty of pro wrestling.
41:15Absolutely.
41:16It brings-
41:16Cover, cover, kick out.
41:18Brings all people from all walks of life together.
41:20Doesn't matter what brought you here.
41:22What matters is that you're in this amazing world of professional wrestling.
41:27That's amazing, something we all love.
41:30Ooh, but I know Andy Hartwell is not loving that.
41:32Some people come from crazy places like Mississippi, for instance.
41:35Yeah.
41:36And Philadelphia.
41:39It's not that crazy.
41:41It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
41:43Goes to come, shoulders down, and another kick out at one there by Hartwell.
41:48Despite the punishment that Forza's dishing out right now, Hartwell is holding her own.
41:52No surprise.
41:54Yeah.
41:54Oh, and she's got the fans here in Albany behind her, too.
41:58Rallying, trying to break out of Gabby.
42:00Forza's grasp.
42:01Big jawbreaker there, Hartwell.
42:03Ooh, driven down by the much more powerful opponent in this matchup, Forza.
42:08Oh.
42:09Forza's calling for that gorilla press.
42:11We talked about her powerlifting background.
42:13Look at the strength there by Forza.
42:15She can lift over a thousand pounds.
42:19And she lifted Indi Hartwell like she was nothing.
42:22Forza, very aggressive here.
42:25Cover and a kick out.
42:27Getting this opportunity in TNA Wrestling just three years into her pro wrestling career.
42:32She started that career with TNA's own Bryan Myers at Creative Pro Wrestling Academy.
42:43Hartwell trying to get Forza over for the suplex.
42:46Forza can't get Hartwell here.
42:47Look at the strength there by Indi.
42:51Come on.
42:54Indi was able to get the Nomi over, but now she's gotta recover.
42:59Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi, Indi.
43:05Chance for Indi here in Albany, New York.
43:10Kick right to the midsection there by Forza.
43:13Ooh.
43:15Ooh, and Indi's not going down.
43:19On the move, and Hartwell has finally found an opening here.
43:24Nushu's gonna be sacrificing some power here in this matchup, but
43:27Hartwell's finding a second wind off the Spine Buster.
43:31Kick out there by Gabi Forza.
43:32That was close.
43:34Indi was digging deep, and she can't believe it.
43:36She's gotta get something left.
43:38Indi, a little surprise there.
43:40Deliver that Spine Buster.
43:41Now trying to set up for Hertz Donut.
43:43But this is the question.
43:45Ooh.
43:45Can Hartwell get Forza up for Hertz Donut?
43:49And a strength here by Forza.
43:54Ooh.
43:55A spin out rack bomb.
43:57Egad.
43:59Indi is down.
44:01Uh-oh, she looks like she's in a dangerous position.
44:04Gonna be tied for a spare.
44:06Forza, that linebacker background.
44:08Her momentum, however, carried her face first into the middle turnbuckle.
44:13Hertz Donut.
44:14One, two, three.
44:16Cardwell puts away Forza.
44:20Here is your winner, Indi Hartwell.
44:24I have to give it to Gabi Forza.
44:26She put up one heck of a fight, but Indi Hartwell comes out on top.
44:33Take a look back at how this all went down.
44:36Down the stretcher, we talked about that linebacker experience for Gabi Forza.
44:41She tried to bring that into play.
44:43Hartwell got out of the way.
44:45The momentum carried Forza face first into the buckle, and that opened the door for
44:49Hertz Donut.
44:51Tremendous performance by Gabi Forza tonight.
44:54Absolutely, but Indi Hartwell, she's your knockout, and she's your fixer here on Explosion.
