00:00:10Miracle Mike Bennett and his wife Maria.
00:00:14Well, the Miracle has been on the quest since arriving here at Impact Wrestling.
00:00:19If you're going to talk world title opportunities,
00:00:21then you know the Miracle wants to be a part of.
00:00:36Well, isn't this just a pretty sight, huh?
00:00:39We got the world champ, and then we got two people who want to be the world champion.
00:00:45Now, Ethan, hold on.
00:00:47Correct me if I'm wrong, because my hearing isn't as good as it used to be.
00:00:51Did you say you'd bet the house on Eli Drake?
00:00:56You'd bet the house.
00:00:57Do you remember the last time you bet the house?
00:01:00No, no, not only did you bet the house, you bet your streak.
00:01:04And guess what happened?
00:01:05You lost to me.
00:01:11So the way I see it...
00:01:16The way I see it is you want to hop on that road to the world champion,
00:01:21but in your way is a roadblock.
00:01:23There's a detour, and that detour is taking you right down Highway Miracle,
00:01:28and right at the end, when you get off the exit,
00:01:31I will be standing there.
00:01:33So you need to get into the back of the line, buddy,
00:01:37because it doesn't matter which dummy in here is world champ,
00:01:42because I am going to win and save this company once and for all.
00:01:57Dummy, yeah.
00:02:00Don't say that again.
00:02:01That's not for you.
00:02:02Dummy, yeah.
00:02:03There are dummies everywhere.
00:02:04Are they here?
00:02:04Yeah.
00:02:05Yeah.
00:02:06Yeah.
00:02:07Yeah.
00:02:07As a matter of fact, I'm taking that tonight.
00:02:10Don't you run your mouth again.
00:02:11And number one dummy is standing right here.
00:02:14And guess what?
00:02:14Tonight, you got a problem with me taking that away?
00:02:17Then we got a problem.
00:02:18But guess what?
00:02:19Ooh, and a shot there by the Miracle Mike Bennett.
00:02:22He saw and seized an opportunity.
00:02:24Saw and seized a moment.
00:02:26And now Eli Drake, all over the world champion.
00:02:29And the Miracle, all over EC3.
00:02:32Yeah, the target is out the window,
00:02:34and the fisticuffs are flying.
00:02:35Miracle pounded away on EC3 in that corner.
00:02:39And Eli Drake, who challenges Eddie Edwards later tonight,
00:02:42he's going to do everything he can.
00:02:44Oh, boy.
00:02:49Here comes Moose.
00:02:53And the ring clears.
00:02:58Moose standing tall.
00:03:02Moose is in the ring.
00:03:04She faces the Miracle after this.
00:03:07You say it too damn well.
00:03:08Yeah, I wanna.
00:03:13This is our opening contest.
00:03:15It's a world championship qualifying match.
00:03:18The winners of a series of matches will all advance
00:03:21to a number one contenders match.
00:03:24This is the first of these matches.
00:03:26It's former longtime allies.
00:03:29Moose going one-on-one with the Miracle Mike Bennett.
00:03:33Remember their encounter back in Bound for Glory.
00:03:36Yeah, one-time best players now bitter enemies.
00:03:40Moose and the Miracle have the opportunity to advance forward.
00:03:44Get one step closer to security.
00:03:46Big time dropkick there by Moose.
00:03:48He goes 6'6", 299.
00:03:51A man that size isn't supposed to throw a dropkick like that.
00:03:56Moose is not your average man.
00:03:59We're gonna put away the Miracle.
00:04:01Well, Maria hooked to the legs of Mike Bennett and saved him
00:04:05from perhaps an early defeat at the hands of Moose.
00:04:10Well, look what's going on now.
00:04:12Referee Earl Heppner has just ejected Maria
00:04:15after she interfered in this matchup.
00:04:17Great call.
00:04:18Great call by Earl Heppner.
00:04:20Get her out of here.
00:04:24Thanks for coming.
00:04:26What the hell are you doing?
00:04:28How many different plays do you think Mike Bennett and Maria
00:04:32had drawn up for her to get involved in this match here
00:04:35against Moose?
00:04:37Oh, it was endless for sure.
00:04:39An endless playbook now.
00:04:41Mike Bennett, the Miracle, has to stand toe-to-toe
00:04:43with the Moose man on his own.
00:04:45Loving that the officials here at Impact Wrestling
00:04:47have really stepped up to enforce the rules
00:04:49to get the likes of Maria out of here
00:04:52to make this a fair one-on-one match.
00:04:56The Miracle has Moose down.
00:04:58Yeah, I was just about to say,
00:04:59we're talking about old M.G.
00:05:00One-moose gang come in, clears out the ring
00:05:02before the commercial break.
00:05:04What you gonna do against a man that size
00:05:05is what you take out his leg.
00:05:07Kudos to Mike Bennett.
00:05:09Has a game plan now.
00:05:11Yeah, keep Moose off his feet.
00:05:13Absolutely.
00:05:14Don't let the big man get back to a vertical base.
00:05:16If you're Mike Bennett, just keep this up.
00:05:19Your wife is no longer at ringside.
00:05:21Maria's not here.
00:05:22Your insurance policy is no longer here.
00:05:25You've got to go to your contingency plan.
00:05:28We often call out the shenanigans of the Miracle Mike Bennett,
00:05:32but we have to remember that Mike Bennett can get it done inside the ring.
00:05:37He's one of the hardest men to pin in all of Impact Wrestling.
00:05:40He defeated EC3.
00:05:42He pinned EC3.
00:05:44He had one of the most incredible years in Impact Wrestling
00:05:47from January to, let's call it, bound for glory.
00:05:50Now the Miracle needs to turn things around.
00:05:52And if he can defeat Moose here,
00:05:54if he can get into that World Championship number one contenders match,
00:05:58the Miracle may have righted all of these wrongs at covering a kickout.
00:06:01Well, if the Miracle continues to keep the big man off of his feet,
00:06:06keep working on those tree chunks of the leg,
00:06:08he may advance.
00:06:10And we'll find out here as these two are going a one-on-one.
00:06:13And we want to remind you to head over to ShotTNA.com right now
00:06:16for the Hardcore Harvest Sale.
00:06:18It's happening all November long with at least 25% off of everything.

00:06:29This is an opportunity you don't want to miss.
00:06:31The Hardcore Harvest Sale going on all November long from ShotTNA.com.
00:06:36The Miracle, Mike Bennett doesn't want to miss this opportunity
00:06:39to have Moose off of his feet here.
00:06:42But Bennett now, front face lock, looking to control Moose.
00:06:46Looking for a suplex on the big man.
00:06:49Not sure you're going to be able to deliver that to 6'6", 299 pounds.
00:06:54And now the Miracle goes back to the ground game.
00:06:58Goes back to the legs of Moose.
00:07:01Very smart by the Miracle.
00:07:03Stay focused.
00:07:04Go back to the part of the injured body.
00:07:08Textbook wrestling.
00:07:09We've seen Moose do so many amazing things in the six-sided ring.
00:07:13Springboards and throws his body over the top open.
00:07:16Bennett went to the ring to the eyes there.
00:07:20Smile on the face.
00:07:22Taki smile on the face.
00:07:23A Miracle.
00:07:24And a head bump.
00:07:25And JYD-like head by Moose.
00:07:31Moose on one good leg.
00:07:32And he can't quite get to the Miracle.
00:07:35Can't put any pressure on his leg.
00:07:38And Mike Bennett looking to capitalize.
00:07:40Nice pop-up curve.
00:07:41Oh, he got him.
00:07:45Can Moose take advantage?
00:07:48Can the big man go for the cover?
00:07:50Or is he looking for one final death-nill to the...
00:07:54Bennett who ducks.
00:07:57Bennett off the other side.
00:07:59And Bennett again goes low.
00:08:00Moose was looking for that game changer.
00:08:03Then tried to counter with the pop-up powerbomb.
00:08:05And the Miracle-like better now looking for a pile driver on the big man.
00:08:10Big move by the Miracle.
00:08:11Goes into the cover.
00:08:12Hooks the leg.
00:08:13And a kick out by Moose.
00:08:16Interesting strategy here by the Miracle.
00:08:18That was desperation with the pile driver.
00:08:20And if you're Mike Bennett, if you're looking at this man's eyes, you have to realize that he's scrambling.
00:08:26He's looking around for offense.
00:08:28Bennett needs to take a deep breath and go after the knees.
00:08:31Go after the legs of Moose.
00:08:33Looking for a cutter.
00:08:34Thrown off and Moose will take advantage.
00:08:37Did the Miracle make a mistake by not continuing his attack on the knees of Moose?
00:08:47And no!
00:08:49Bennett was looking for a cutter.
00:08:50Moose hangs on.
00:08:52Moose got caught there.
00:08:55Another shot.
00:08:57Oh!
00:09:01And he got him!
00:09:04Bennett with the cover.
00:09:05Hooks both legs.
00:09:07And Moose kicks out in two.
00:09:09Moose knows how important of an opportunity this is.
00:09:13Moose is going to kick out every chance he can.
00:09:16As long as he's breathing, as long as he's aware,
00:09:18Mike Bennett is going to have a hell of a time putting the big man away.
00:09:22We talk about how hard it is to pin the Miracle, Mike Bennett.
00:09:25How hard is it going to be for Bennett to pin Moose?
00:09:29We're witnessing.
00:09:31Oh!
00:09:32I got to give the Miracle his credit, though.
00:09:35Yet again, he goes back to the leg.
00:09:37Stay with the game plan.
00:09:39Keep the big man down.
00:09:41And Moose now, on the outside,
00:09:43Miracle doing the right thing to your brain.
00:09:45Oh!
00:09:47Moose, any sort of a reprieve,
00:09:49but the big man catches the Miracle.
00:09:51Referee Earl Hebner at four now.
00:09:53The Miracle goes off the steel steps.
00:09:56Moose trying to seize control.
00:09:58Oh, the referee's at eight.
00:09:59The Miracle's back in the ring.
00:10:02Moose has been counted out.
00:10:04And the Miracle finds a way to get one step closer to the world title.
00:10:09The winner of the match via countout,
00:10:12the Miracle, Mike Bennett.
00:10:15Talk about being in the right place at the right time
00:10:17and knowing your surroundings.
00:10:20Mike Bennett slid back into the ring as Earl Hebner was at eight.
00:10:24Moose goes off the steel steps.
00:10:26Can't beat the count.
00:10:28And the Miracle defeats Moose
00:10:31and, again, is one step closer
00:10:33to his first world championship.
00:10:36Speaking of championships,
00:10:37if you're Earl Hebner,
00:10:39how are you going to know
00:10:39which one of the three is legal?
00:10:41That's exactly where Pope was going to go.
00:10:43With the bell rung, he just threw it out.
00:10:45Earl just threw it out.
00:10:46That's the best call I think he could have made.
00:10:47Well, you got all three masked men getting involved here.
00:10:50But the match is over.
00:10:51That doesn't mean the fight is over.
00:10:52That doesn't mean the battle is over.
00:10:53Good call by Earl.
00:10:56And now Jeff and one of these masked men.
00:11:03Where are they going to go?
00:11:05Where is this fight going to lead to?
00:11:13Hey, hey, hey!
00:11:16Trying to get security out here.
00:11:26And with Earl Hebner down
00:11:27and the Hardys
00:11:29and the other masked men
00:11:30in the locker room area,
00:11:32is this man going to join them?
00:11:34Where is this fight going to go now?
00:11:36No!
00:11:36Go.
00:11:37Go!
00:11:41Go!
00:11:43Oh, shit.

00:16:50I'm back.
00:16:50I'm stronger than ever.
00:16:52I'm back from the worst injury I ever had in my career,
00:16:55from those horrible Hardys.
00:16:56And I'm back because my boys, the Tribunal,
00:16:59they've got a big surprise.
00:17:00We've got a celebration in the ring.
00:17:02I can't wait.

00:17:03It's gonna be huge.
00:17:04They love me.

00:17:46Hey.
00:17:48Hey.
00:17:49Hey.
00:17:49How is he?
00:17:51He's just, he's not the same since that fall.
00:17:54I don't know what's going on.
00:17:55He's acting different, talking different, dressing different.
00:17:58Just, I don't know if it's amnesia or if he's just forgotten who he is.
00:18:03I, I, you have to see for yourself.
00:18:05I can't even explain it.
00:18:06Wow.
00:18:07Let's go.
00:18:08Let's go.
00:18:27Home improvement is absolutely liberating.
00:18:31What do you think, Mr. Benjamin?
00:18:35Excuse me, I don't speak Spanish.
00:18:38Put it up a little higher.
00:18:39How high?
00:18:40All the way up.
00:18:41Yeah?
00:18:41Si, senor.
00:18:43Yes, correct?
00:18:44Si, correcto.
00:18:44Wonderful.
00:18:46He wants to build another dining room.
00:18:49Dining room?
00:18:50Don't you already have a dining room?
00:18:51Yes!
00:18:52We do!
00:18:59Fourteen and seven-eighths.
00:19:00Uh-huh, Matt.
00:19:01That's...
00:19:02Hello, my beautiful wife.
00:19:05How are you?
00:19:06Matt, what the hell are you doing, man?
00:19:09I mean, isn't it obvious?
00:19:11I'm building a new dining room.
00:19:13It'll be marvelous!
00:19:14Do you even recognize who I am right now?
00:19:17Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:19I just...
00:19:19My, my memory escapes me.
00:19:21Okay, just wait a minute.
00:19:22Think hard about a violin.
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:25Yes.
00:19:28Brother Nero!
00:19:29I knew you'd come!
00:19:36What in the hell are you doing?
00:19:37Are you okay?
00:19:38Come on, are you kidding me?
00:19:40We're the world tag team champions!
00:19:42Do not remember that!
00:19:44Is that like wrestling on TV where they fight one another?
00:19:47Of course it is!
00:19:48Oh, that sounds very violent.
00:19:49I am not a violent person.
00:19:50You've been doing it for 24, 25 years!
00:19:53I don't think so.
00:19:54No, I, I, I, I, I'm an engineer.
00:19:57You know, I mean, I may be wearing a white collar,
00:19:59but I'm truly a blue collar man.
00:20:00As you can see, I've done all this construction, yes.
00:20:02Wow.

00:23:43what are they doing this it's up so much to rehabilitate himself it appears that the tribunal

00:24:43shira not only a low blow from brutal
00:25:08shira let's take one more look here at what the tribunal did not only to hal snow oh a low
00:25:16blow and
00:25:16the same to the hobble this year when he came in
00:25:21the devastation by the tribunal these guys have amped it up
00:25:27and certainly seeing a new side of the tribunal the boys are bad they're taking notice
00:25:34on the impact boss
00:25:39and coming up next two former world champions go one-on-one in a world title qualifier it's ec3 ethan
00:25:47card of the third versus the monster abyss
00:25:56i'm waiting for aaron rex to show up to the building you know why is everything that he's
00:26:00trying to pull inside that ring have you seen what he's done well guess what that ain't gonna
00:26:05happen tonight because out here i get to dictate what happens trust me you're gonna want to watch
00:26:11because this isn't about his title this is about me getting my hands on him and kicking his ass
00:26:19the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first making his way to the ring
00:26:26weighing in excess of 350 pounds he is one half of dk the monster abyss
00:26:38can you imagine if a bitch can win this qualifying match here tonight
00:26:44and become involved in the number one contenders match that will be taking place and if abyss can go
00:26:52on to become world champion certainly possible the monster of this has held every championship there
00:27:00is just about here in impact wrestling he's been to the top of the wrestling mountain and he wants to
00:27:06get there again but it's going to be a tough task when you talk about putting the shoulders of the
00:27:11former world champion ec3
00:27:13and now introducing his opponent from bucarat on florida weighing in at 232 pounds
00:27:38he just needs a chance he just needs an opportunity the two-time world champion the franchise the face of
00:27:54wrestling can ec3 defeat the monster abyss and earn his way into a number one contenders
00:28:03world championship matchup as was said with the monster abyss about pinning ec3 the same thing can be said
00:28:10about ec3 about pinning the monster abyss it's not going to be an easy task
00:28:16both men have the work cut out for him ec3 in the silver trunks tonight with black trim
00:28:24the monster abyss he's going to try to overpower ec3 here in this matchup
00:28:32try to back ec3 into the turnbuckle here
00:28:37what do you do to game plan for abyss you don't you just get in there and go with the
00:28:43motion you
00:28:44just make it happen
00:28:49so hard to take the big man down and ec3
00:28:55perhaps a great combination of moves we're gonna pitch down
00:28:59oh
00:29:02ec3 trying to break the grip of abyss easier said than done and now when you looked at that
00:29:08you have to start to question can ec3 deliver the one percenter to abyss he could barely get his
00:29:15arms around the neck of the monster abyss look like he was going for a sleeper hold was ec3
00:29:21but the monster of this is just so huge abyss who feels that he is beautiful
00:29:28i'm not going to tell him that he's going to love him no he's going to come out here and
00:29:31join ec3 on
00:29:32the outside of the ring here and this is not where you want to be if you're ec3 apparently the
00:29:37monster
00:29:38abyss thinks he can sing as well remember what happened in our first qualifying matchup the miracle
00:29:44mike bennett
00:29:47one by count outs against moose when moose couldn't beat the tent count back into the ring
00:29:52fans at home watching you just have to be here in the impact zone to hear that chop by those
00:29:58big
00:29:59flying pan like hands of the monster abyss oh an abyss that time misses now ec3 firing away at the
00:30:07chest of the
00:30:14monster
00:30:15it's got a little cluster there ac3 breaks up the count and we'll go to look now and abyss and
00:30:20abyss
00:30:21catches ac3 that's exactly what ec3 needed to avoid that's exactly what ec3 couldn't have happen
00:30:28in this matchup and you go to the environment on the outside of the ring where it's a little more
00:30:35chaotic and a little more hectic a lot more things to come into play the monster abyss will use those
00:30:41things as we just witnessed with that choke slam on the apron now abyss can just wear down ec3
00:30:52again you can't allow abyss to do what he just did that big powerful move on the outside how does
00:30:58ec3 get
00:30:58back into this match well you know often time ec3 is the bigger man in the matchup but in this
00:31:04instance
00:31:04he's not but he is the quicker of the two so hopefully out here by us
00:31:14ec3 is going to have to use his speed to get back on top of this matchup
00:31:22ec3 trying to get back into it trying to build some momentum here a flurry of offense and
00:31:27the monster right there to shut him down
00:31:35it's all about the world championship
00:31:43now a nightmare by abyss now the one thing that ec3 can rely on in this matchup is that abyss
00:31:52from
00:31:52teaming with decay and being a part of a tag team with crazy steve and having rosemary out there so
00:31:57much that he may be used to having those advantages and having being in tag team matches ec3 has been
00:32:04going at it alone for quite some time that's a good point you bring up but right now it's not
00:32:10making
00:32:10a difference the monster abyss has has not been in trouble he has no need to reach for attack because
00:32:17he is completely in control and he's enjoying himself such a strange individual is abyss
00:32:30talking about ec3 being to avoid the monster of this at all costs using his speed but it doesn't
00:32:36make a difference about his speed if the monster abyss keep him in these type of situations
00:32:42yeah ec3's down and you're getting your head wrenched even if you get back to a vertical base like ec3
00:32:49has
00:32:49done here that's only step one step two is to do this create some separation and abyss continues to shut
00:32:54down ec3 at every twist and turn in this matchup ec3 wisely battles out of it with a couple of
00:33:01elbows
00:33:02oh now the big man's down there's that speed now ec3 can get it going another clothesline floors the monster
00:33:12and ec3 with a big splash in the corner
00:33:18what does ec3 have in mind now makes his way up to the middle room to drop kick big drop
00:33:25kick big drop kick
00:33:26by ec3 he is feeling it he's looking to put away the monster abyss looking for the one percenter
00:33:36catches a miss before he makes his way all the way back to his feet throw it off and now
00:33:40a fabulous
00:33:41choke slam third time to charm abyss connects with it abyss falls into the cover doesn't hook a leg
00:33:47and ec3 hours out at two not hooking the leg not putting 300 plus pounds on the top torso of
00:33:55ec3
00:33:55may have cost to this this seems to have a plan though
00:34:01looking for a steel chair any sort of weapon that he could find well this would just be done
00:34:11risking disqualification here is abyss
00:34:17not sure the monster of this is thinking clearly right now
00:34:21referee brian headner's trying to help him out and brian headner's gonna fend for himself and you
00:34:26can't blame him no no and abyss misses wildly with the steel chair ec3 he's got abyss hooked
00:34:32he's got him in a sleeper trying to wear it on the big man he's got his body now locked
00:34:37up
00:34:38and both men on the back of the same size wise move by his injury and a tap out victory
00:34:51the winner of the match he's c3 so ethan carter the third has taken care of business
00:34:59no celebration he's getting out of here with a win
00:35:06and there is the current and reigning knockouts champion the tna hall of famer and from what we

00:41:40so many people have said that jade is the well even you have said that jade is the uh the
00:41:47next
00:41:47step the the she reminds you so much of gail kim and the way she competes inside the ring
00:41:54jade is quite simply she is the future standard bearer of the knockouts division
00:42:05she's also standing for coming out here i just you know it's no secret that i think that you are
00:42:12very important to the future of this division yeah she is
00:42:18when i look at you i see that same woman that stepped into this company 10 years ago
00:42:27that had the drive the passion the desire to succeed in every way
00:42:38i just wanted to let you know that i believe in you that i believe that you have everything
00:42:47that it takes to succeed in this company
00:43:00you're not only the future of this division you are the future of women's wrestling just know that
00:43:15and that's why it was really important to have you here to have the fans out here and my friends
00:43:24there's been something really uh that i've been thinking about for the last while
00:43:30it's really hard for me to say this
00:43:47what was gail kim about to say
00:43:52before she was interrupted by decay by crazy steve and the monster abyss and rosemary
00:44:08whatever it was that gail kim was about to say had her dearly into
00:44:17well gail's moment will have to wait
00:44:23because decay have arrived in the impact zone
00:44:44oh
00:44:52oh and the mist
00:44:53and the eyes from Rosemary to Gayle Kim.
00:44:58And now Rosemary has Shane up and takes her down.
00:45:04I don't know, JB, you might want to get out of that ring.
00:45:11And this has JB in now.
00:45:13Rosemary has Gayle Kim trapped.
00:45:22This is not a great situation for Gayle Kim or Jade.
00:45:26Look at Gayle.
00:45:29Gayle can barely breathe with that submission loop that Rosemary hands on.
00:45:34All of the K.
00:45:37Grace and Steve is making sure that Jade can't get involved in anything.
00:45:52Oh, look at this.
00:45:55And Rosemary.
00:45:58I was going to say Rosemary has snapped, but this is normal behavior.
00:46:05Just craziness.
00:46:08Oh, no.
00:46:10Oh, boy.
00:46:12Crazy Steve is holding Jade's arms.
00:46:14Rosemary's on the other side of the six-sided ring.
00:46:16What is Rosemary thinking here?
00:46:18She's got to be 20 feet away from the other side of the ring.
00:46:30Look at Gayle Kim.
00:46:32Look at Jade.
00:46:32The impact zone.
00:46:38Just a hush over what has transpired here.
00:46:41Remember, Gayle Kim was going to make a monumental announcement.
00:46:46We never got to what that announcement was going to be.
00:46:49Gayle talked about Jade.
00:46:51She honored Jade.
00:46:53She basically anointed Jade.
00:46:55And then Decay, and Rosemary, and Crazy Steve, and Abyss come out here and ruin this moment for Gayle.
00:47:06The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:47:09Introducing first, making his way to the ring, Trevor Lee.
00:47:17An X-Division competitor will move on to be in the number one contender's world championship match.
00:47:26Will it be Trevor Lee?
00:47:29Introducing competitor number two from Birmingham, England, Rockstar Spud.
00:47:34Or will it be a former two-time X-Division champion, Rockstar Spud?
00:47:42Look at the X-Rockstar.
00:47:44He'll be sure to tell you he's the one that's going to move on in this X-Division matchup.
00:47:52And now, introducing your third and final competitor, the X-Division champion of the world, DJ Z.
00:48:00The favorite has to be this man.
00:48:03DJ Z, the leader of Go for Broke.
00:48:06Current reigning X-Division champion.
00:48:09The Miracle Mike Bennett and EC3 have already qualified.
00:48:14Who will join them?
00:48:15Will it be DJ Z?
00:48:17DJ Z, Rockstar Spud, or Trevor Lee?
00:48:22DJ Z is a favorite wherever he goes, including his side to six side of the ring during this matchup.
00:48:28You cannot count the champ out.
00:48:32When you look at the field, all three men have held the X-Division championship in the past.
00:48:38Obviously, including DJ Z, the current reigning champion.
00:48:42And Spud is going to be content to let DJ Z and Trevor Lee go out of here one-on
00:48:47-one.
00:48:48Remember, this is one fall to a finish.
00:48:49So Spud is spitting on DJ Z.
00:48:53It's disgusting.
00:48:55And now DJ Z going after Spud!
00:48:58And a big group there by Trevor Lee!
00:49:00There's that punt by Trevor Lee that we often see during this matchup.
00:49:04Caught DJ Z as he came running around the corner.
00:49:07Get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on, get on!
00:49:11And now Rockstar Spud.
00:49:14Waste lock on Trevor Lee.
00:49:15He's going to try to get in the ring.
00:49:16There you see some urgency from Spud, but Trevor Lee says,
00:49:19I'll get inside the ring and I'll take care of this.
00:49:22And while they're debating on the outside, DJ Z goes up and over.
00:49:28One more look at this.
00:49:30Then we're all going outside.
00:49:32And all of a sudden, DJ Z takes advantage over the top rope.
00:49:35DJ Z right now competing with a broken wrist.
00:49:37He may have shattered his knee there off the guardrail.
00:49:42Like his ankle may have caught it.
00:49:43I don't know, but we can't speculate.
00:49:45We can watch and see it.
00:49:46It looks like DJ Z is okay.
00:49:48We'll be able to tell more after this.
00:49:49Incredible move.
00:49:51What an arm drag by DJ Z.
00:49:54Oh, DJ Z has studied so many styles and have mastered them as well.
00:49:59Across the world, DJ Z, Mexico, Japan.
00:50:03DJ Z can do it all.
00:50:05And now here comes Rockstar Spud trying to match DJ Z.
00:50:07DJ Z inside the ring.
00:50:10He goes for a ride.
00:50:10Does Rockstar Spud.
00:50:13And Spud now, he may not realize, but he's assisting DJ Z.
00:50:16And Trevor Lee, a little two for one.
00:50:19There's that uncanny-like strength of Trevor Lee.
00:50:22Possibly the strongest, powerful, power athlete in Impact.
00:50:27The way he just deadlifts opponents off the canvas.
00:50:30And the way he just threw Rockstar Spud.
00:50:33You'd be hard-pressed to argue that there's anyone stronger pound for pound than Trevor Lee.
00:50:38Oh, come on here.
00:50:39Come on.
00:50:41Oh, he just throws DJ Z across the ring.
00:50:45That's a guy that weighs about the same as Trevor Lee, and he just tossed it.
00:50:50Two count there by Spud.
00:50:54And Rockstar Spud.
00:50:59Trying to get going here against DJ Z.
00:51:01Trying to qualify.
00:51:02Trying to get to that big-time matchup.
00:51:04To go on to challenge for the world's title.
00:51:07And now Spud looking for a cover here.
00:51:09Doesn't hook the leg and a kick out by DJ Z.
00:51:12Thanks, Spud.
00:51:13Yep.
00:51:13Mountain now.
00:51:14Thanks, Spud.
00:51:15They've been aware of that crash.
00:51:17But DJ Z hit the rail and he went back to the leg there, which is very smart.
00:51:25And Rockstar Spud sizing up DJ Z.
00:51:29Walks all the way to the center of the six-sided ring.
00:51:31Taking a little bit too much time.
00:51:33And Spud connects with a leg drop.
00:51:37And the cover.
00:51:38Is Spud qualifying?
00:51:39Trevor Lee says, not so fast.
00:51:42Look at the strength.
00:51:43What a throw.
00:51:45Big-time move there.
00:51:48And now here comes Trevor Lee.
00:51:50And here comes DJ Z.
00:51:51Back and forth.
00:51:52They go.
00:51:53Oh!
00:51:54Double boot to the moose maker.
00:51:56Right under the chin of Trevor Lee.
00:52:02Who will gain the pinfall or the submission in this matchup?
00:52:08DJ Z catches Rockstar Spud.
00:52:11And there's a back elbow for Trevor Lee.
00:52:13I got you, man!
00:52:17Look at DJ Z operate inside the six-sided ring.
00:52:21Very smart by DJ Z to just focus on both men at the same time.
00:52:25Just an amazing X Division champion is DJ Z.
00:52:29DJ Z turn left and he gets hit right.
00:52:32Turn right and he gets hit left.
00:52:33So he just takes out both men.
00:52:38And now...
00:52:39Looking for this ZDT.
00:52:41Got thrown off.
00:52:42And a low blow by Spud.
00:52:44Unbeknownst to the official, Spud's going to try to steal this matchup here.
00:52:49Trevor Lee with a big knee.
00:52:54Master Big Buster.
00:52:55Got him.
00:52:56Trevor Lee with the cover.
00:52:57Rockstar Spud is down.
00:52:59And Trevor Lee advances.
00:53:01The winner of the match, Trevor Lee.
00:53:07So Trevor Lee has advanced to the number one contenders matchup.
00:53:12Can the X Division star, Trevor Lee, earn a world title as we take a look at the bedlam that
00:53:20occurred in this three-way X Division matchup?
00:53:23Look at these moves.
00:53:25DJ Z flew to the outside.
00:53:27Took out everybody.
00:53:29Spud with a low blow.
00:53:31He thought that he would take advantage.
00:53:32A big-time knee by Trevor Lee.
00:53:35And then a Fisherman's Buster.
00:53:36And Trevor Lee has advanced.
00:53:38Is he one step away from becoming world champion?
00:53:43Big win for Trevor Lee.
00:53:47Listen, you mutts.
00:53:49Oh!
00:53:49The boss says you're both in luck.
00:53:53You both got a match tonight.
00:53:55Perfect.
00:53:56We got to do each other?
00:53:57All right, fine.
00:53:57We'd be good.
00:53:58We'd be good.
00:53:59I'll show you.
00:53:59No, no.
00:54:01With each other.
00:54:02As a team.
00:54:03Together.
00:54:04A team.
00:54:08Perfect, bro.
00:54:09That's all we wanted.
00:54:10Perfect.
00:54:12And it's a handicap match.
00:54:14Ah!
00:54:15You got it, bud?
00:54:17Easy.
00:54:17Easy.
00:54:18Easy.
00:54:19Hey, hey, hey.
00:54:19That's going to be good.
00:54:20I might hit it.
00:54:22Hey, hey, mutts.
00:54:23You guys didn't even know who you're fighting.
00:54:25Who is it?
00:54:27Who's the unlucky bro?
00:54:28He could be.
00:54:29Well, he's a little PO'd right now.
00:54:31Yeah, let's go.
00:54:32So are we.
00:54:34It's Bobby Lash.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:41Well, we could try.
00:54:47Are you watching one of Braxton's matches?
00:54:49Oh, hi, Miss Brandy.
00:54:52Well, hey, you guys would be cute together.
00:54:54Oh.
00:54:56Well, anyways, listen, I saw your match with Laurel.
00:54:59You did a great job holding your own out there.
00:55:01You really fought against her.
00:55:03I know you see what's going on with me and Sienna and Maria.
00:55:07Man, they're really kicking my butt.
00:55:09I need some help.
00:55:10Oh.
00:55:11Um, well, here's the thing, Miss Brandy.
00:55:14I would really like to help you.
00:55:16Um, but Miss Maria pays my bills.
00:55:19And, um, I work for her still.
00:55:21So I don't really think I, maybe I should.
00:55:24No, I don't think I should.
00:55:24Allie, you have got to stand up for yourself.
00:55:28Look at you.
00:55:29You can walk away from them.
00:55:31Come fight with me.
00:55:35I'm sorry, Miss Brandy.
00:55:44The following contest is a two-on-one handicap match.
00:55:48Introducing first the team of Robbie E.
00:55:52And Grado.
00:55:56It's a very intriguing matchup.
00:55:58And I am, uh, very much looking forward to discussing and dissecting and breaking down this one with you.
00:56:05Grado and Robbie E. are competing as a team.
00:56:08If they win, if they defeat Lashley, they both join the miracle.
00:56:15EC3 and Trevor Lee in the number one contenders match to go on to become a world champion.
00:56:23Impact President Billy Corgan made the match.
00:56:25Very curious as to why.
00:56:27I've got some opinions.
00:56:29We'll talk about them in just a second.
00:56:33And now, introducing their opponent, from Denver, Colorado, weighing in at 278 pounds, Lashley!
00:56:43And the unstoppable chuggernaut of force can erase what transpired last week in the controversial conclusion to the world championship
00:56:53match against Eddie Edwards.
00:56:55Look, one man isn't supposed to defeat two men.
00:56:59Lashley's not supposed to be able to defeat both Robbie E. and Grado.
00:57:05But this isn't just one man.
00:57:07This is Lashley.
00:57:09A former three-time world champion.
00:57:11A man who steps inside the world of MMA and dominates.
00:57:16A man who steps inside the six-sided ring and decimates.
00:57:21A man who is angry.
00:57:22A man who is livid.
00:57:24A man who wants the world championship.
00:57:26A man who feels he's better than everyone else.
00:57:29And he's got to beat two men tonight.
00:57:32Paul's not going to take away from Robbie or Grado.
00:57:36No, and I'm not trying to do that either.
00:57:37This is a two-on-one match.
00:57:39In my opinion, it's going to be very tough for any one man to defeat two men.
00:57:43It's almost impossible.
00:57:45But if anyone can do it, it's human kryptonite.
00:57:50It's Lashley to take that moves like a race car.
00:57:52And this is not a wise game plan.
00:57:55Don't grab it.
00:57:55Oh, Grado's looking for a waist-lock takedown here on Lashley.
00:58:00He's going to make the tag to Robbie.
00:58:03Again, Robbie and Grado need to take this as seriously as they can.
00:58:08Because if they win, they go on to a match where they're one step away from becoming world champion.
00:58:13Yeah, for Grado, this is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:58:16Yes, world championship opportunities don't come along very often.
00:58:20Like a net.
00:58:21And Lashley just pushed them off.
00:58:23One-hand kicked them and delivered that suplex.
00:58:25What do you call those little things that bother sharks?
00:58:29They just live on sharks.
00:58:30I know exactly what you're talking about.
00:58:32It's always hard to name those things.
00:58:33A bottom feeder or something.
00:58:34That's what Grado looked like moments ago
00:58:36as he was trying to stop Lashley from delivering that big-time suplex to Robbie E.
00:58:42I guess if Lashley can just, since they have to tag,
00:58:46the odds, again, go in the favor of Lashley.
00:58:50I don't think it would make a difference
00:58:52if both Grado and Robbie E was in the ring at the same time.
00:58:55Lashley could carry that.
00:58:57With steel scares and kendo steps.
00:59:00But don't take anything away from Robbie or Grado.
00:59:03Again, Robbie's a multiple-time tag team champion.
00:59:05He's a former X-Division champion.
00:59:07They can keep each other fresh.
00:59:08If they can get on the same page, anything's possible.
00:59:11Look at Grado.
00:59:12Look at him.
00:59:13Grado up the top rope.
00:59:14From the top end of Stevenson all the way down
00:59:17to Lashley who is still on his feet.
00:59:20Grado delivered the double action.
00:59:22Robbie's got Lashley down.
00:59:24The former three-time champion is down.
00:59:28Robbie was looking.
00:59:29Grado doesn't know what to do.
00:59:30Here we go.
00:59:31Just do something.
00:59:32Here you go.
00:59:33Throw it.
00:59:34Throw jazz at the jaw of Lashley.
00:59:36Lashley fights free.
00:59:38Ducks Grado.
00:59:40They duck.
00:59:41Oh!
00:59:42And now Grado and Robbie E.
00:59:44They've got Lashley up.
00:59:46Big double-double suplex by Lashley.
00:59:49And Grado and Robbie E.
00:59:52I believe that Robbie's the legal man.
00:59:55Grado's got to get out of the ring.
00:59:56Lashley will take care of Robbie.
00:59:59Maybe Grado's the legal man.
01:00:00I have no idea.
01:00:03Grado.
01:00:06Hooked for the eye there by Grado.
01:00:09That will slow down any man.
01:00:11Grado goes up and over.
01:00:12And Lashley will take drug.
01:00:14And now the former three-time world champion.
01:00:16Dominator by Lashley.
01:00:17Just plants.
01:00:19Grado.
01:00:20This is like sparring for Lashley.
01:00:23Skipper's trying to get Grado out of the ring.
01:00:25And there's Robbie.
01:00:28I don't think Lashley has broken sweat yet.
01:00:31And there!
01:00:32Got him.
01:00:33Nearly sawed Robbie in half.
01:00:36And Lashley.
01:00:38Let's move it on.
01:00:42Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match.
01:00:45Lashley!
01:00:49Again, you have to question.
01:00:51Was he being punished by being in this match?
01:00:53As we take a look at how it all played out in this match, if Robbie and Grado could have
01:00:59somehow got things going, they might have been able to shock the world.
01:01:03But look at this.
01:01:03When you're suplexing Robbie and you get to throw off the other guy, I think you're in trouble early.
01:01:09And then a spear by Lashley.
01:01:12Lashley, he just took care of Robbie and Grado.
01:01:15And now Lashley.
01:01:17And now Lashley.
01:01:18He's in the match.
01:01:19Lashley is in the match.
01:01:22The number one contenders match to go on to perhaps become a four-time world champion.
01:01:28Can anyone stop this man?
01:01:31Last week, the Impact Grand Championship was on the line as Aaron Rex defended his title against Jesse Goddard.
01:01:36Let's investigate just a little bit here.
01:01:38First, Aaron Rex uses this towel to his advantage.
01:01:41He sort of blinds Goddard.
01:01:43Goddard couldn't see.
01:01:44But the real story here is this knockout punch.
01:01:48This punch by Aaron Rex.
01:01:49And I said it last week.
01:01:50I'll say it again.
01:01:51He's got a great punch.
01:01:52But nobody's got this good of a punch to buckle the knees and take out Goddard and retain his title.
01:02:02Oh, a little bit of a shine.
01:02:05Grand Championship and grand you are.
01:02:08The only thing that would make you better is, boom, my reflection.
01:02:12Now we are one.
01:02:16Driver, watch the speed bump, okay?
01:02:17Yes, sir.
01:02:17Thanks.
01:02:19Sorry we had to be here a little bit early that Jesse wanted to see me.
01:02:23I don't know what Mr. Goddard wants.
01:02:25Maybe to congratulate me on beating him.
01:02:27Was it twice now?
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:34And there he is.
01:02:35Someone had too much creatine.
01:02:37He looks a little upset.
01:02:40Well, not that he's a threat.
01:02:42All right, so let's just go see what he has to say.
01:02:46Hey, Jesse.
01:02:47How you doing?
01:02:47Thanks.
01:02:48How is everything?
01:02:49You okay?
01:02:49Shut up.
01:02:50What?
01:02:51You all right?
01:02:52Is there an issue?
01:02:53Yeah.
01:02:53What?
01:02:53You're the issue.
01:02:54You.
01:02:54Why?
01:02:55Last week, before, the week after that.
01:02:56I don't care about the car.
01:02:58I'm here to kick your ass.
01:02:59Do you know why?
01:03:00Why?
01:03:00Because we're not inside the ring anymore.
01:03:02We're outside here.
01:03:03So your little shenanigans are out the window.
01:03:05No, no, no.
01:03:05My shenanigans are winning.
01:03:08You lost the title.
01:03:09It's okay.
01:03:10People lose.
01:03:11You got the second best jawline in the company.
01:03:13Exploit it.
01:03:14Smile more.
01:03:14And have a good day.
01:03:15Okay?
01:03:15Yeah, well, guess what?
01:03:16What?
01:03:16This isn't about the title.
01:03:17I'm kicking your ass.
01:03:18Yeah, that's what this is about.
01:03:40No, no, no.
01:03:47What are you doing?
01:03:47No, no, no, no.
01:03:48No, no.
01:03:52Where's your team judge now, huh?
01:03:54Where's your towel at now?
01:03:55Ah!
01:03:56Get him!
01:04:04Ah, no.
01:04:05No, no, no, no.
01:04:06No!
01:04:08No!
01:04:10No!
01:04:11No!
01:04:11No!
01:04:12No!
01:04:13No!
01:04:17No!
01:04:18No!
01:04:22Where's your towel at now?
01:04:23Huh?
01:04:24Huh?
01:04:24No!
01:04:24Where's your knuckles at now?
01:04:25No!
01:04:26No!
01:04:27No!
01:04:27No!
01:04:30Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
01:04:31Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
01:04:41go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
01:04:41go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
01:04:41go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
01:04:45go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
01:04:48go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
01:04:54Don't move!
01:04:59Oh, slow!
01:05:27That ride was terrible!
01:05:29Oh, come on. That ride was just fine. Talk to your old friend Skarsgård. He's right here.
01:05:34Who's Skarsgård?
01:05:35Skarsgård is your boat. Come on. You used to love this boat.
01:05:38How in the hell would I talk to a boat? It's a boat. It's not alive.
01:05:42I don't know how you did it, but you did it, Matt.
01:05:44I mean, what do you think? I am magical or something?
01:05:46Well, you used to be magical. And you know what? You brought me here one time, and you healed me.
01:05:50All I'm trying to do is heal you, heal your head and mind.
01:05:54That's crazy talk. Everything you're saying is madness.
01:05:57It's not madness. What's going on inside your head, man?
01:05:59It's just so hard to describe.
01:06:07Who are you?
01:06:09Matt, come here!
01:06:12Look, man, get in the water, please. Just get in the water and see what happens.
01:06:15Come on, give it a try. This isn't a trick, is it? No.
01:06:21Step in easy, if you want to, to get used to it.
01:06:27Ah! I'm not gonna go in there. It's freezing, and that water is disgusting.
01:06:31You have to go deeper.
01:06:31I am not gonna go in this gross water.
01:06:33You have to go deeper.
01:06:33You are not gonna make me.
01:06:34You have to go deeper.
01:06:35No. Go deeper.
01:06:36Go deeper.
01:06:37What are you doing?
01:06:39Go deeper.
01:06:39What are you doing?
01:06:40You need to change, Matt. Go!
01:06:42That was nasty. That was uncalled for. That was rude.
01:06:45Get under the water, Matt.
01:06:46I'm not gonna get in this water. It's disgusting.
01:06:48I'll get some sort of disease. Fine. Fine. I don't need you.
01:06:51I'll go to Orlando to the impact zone.
01:06:53I'll take on the DCC by myself, if that's the way you want it.
01:06:57I'm not gonna go fight. That's barbaric. That's crazy talk.
01:06:59You have anger issues.
01:07:01Have you ever thought of us speaking to a counselor?
01:07:03Fighting and violence is not the answer. Communication is.
01:07:10Eli Drake.
01:07:19That is just a fact of life.
01:07:21He is the namer of dummies.
01:07:23He is the owner of Bound for Gold.
01:07:26That he won at Bound for Glory.
01:07:29And now Eli Drake will look to make good on winning that gauntlet match on October the 2nd.
01:07:37And become world champion.
01:07:39Last year's winner of Bound for Gold was Tyrus.
01:07:43He came up a little bit short against then-champion Drew Galloway.
01:07:46Can Eli Drake become champion tonight?
01:08:06He is the world champion.
01:08:09Eddie Edwards.
01:08:11No one will forget the busted knee party.
01:08:15That secured the title for Eddie Edwards.
01:08:19A five-time world tag team champion.
01:08:23Two-time X Division champion.
01:08:26And now our world champion.
01:08:29A tremendous representative of Impact Wrestling.
01:08:36We'll see if Eddie Edwards can defend his title here tonight.
01:08:40Against Eli Drake.
01:08:42JB take it away inside the six-sided ring.
01:08:46For championship introductions.
01:08:49For our main events.
01:08:52Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:08:56It is for the TNA World Championship.
01:08:59When the bell rings, the man in charge.
01:09:01TNA official, Mr. Brian Hebner.
01:09:05And now, introducing your combatants.
01:09:07First of all, standing in the corner to my left.
01:09:09He weighed in at 242 pounds.
01:09:13And comes to us from Los Angeles, California.
01:09:16Tonight, he catches in his bound for gold championship title match.
01:09:22This is the challenger, Eli Drake.
01:09:34And now, introducing, standing in the corner to my right.
01:09:38He weighed in at 222 pounds.
01:09:41And comes to us from Boston, Massachusetts.
01:09:43He is the current reigning, defending, TNA World Champion, Eddie Edwards.
01:09:55So, a 20-pound weight advantage for the challenger, Eli Drake.
01:10:01The World Championship, the most prestigious prize in our sport.
01:10:07It'll be defended by Eddie Edwards against Eli Drake.
01:10:11And it happens right after this.
01:10:19The World Championship will be defended right now.
01:10:22It's Eddie Edwards, the champion, going one-on-one with the challenger, Eli Drake.
01:10:28Eli Drake announced last week that he was going to cash in bound for gold.
01:10:32That he was going to challenge Eddie Edwards here tonight for the world title.
01:10:37The night began with these two inside the six-sided ring.
01:10:40And it ends here with Eddie Edwards defending his championship.
01:10:45Hope, do you have a prediction?
01:10:46Well, I want to go with the champion right now.
01:10:48He's on the momentum.
01:10:49I understand that Eli Drake cashed in because it's a prime time for picking, if you will.
01:10:54The champion has had a lot of high-profile matches leading up to this.
01:10:58So, Eli Drake thinks it's prime time for the picking.
01:11:03Smart strategy by Eli Drake.
01:11:06Eddie Edwards has had some incredible matches.
01:11:10against the likes of Lashley and Cody.
01:11:13And now here in the ring with Eli Drake.
01:11:17Eli Drake would love to be world champion.
01:11:20Yes.
01:11:21Total hold there by Eddie Edwards.
01:11:23Floats over.
01:11:24Trying to control the head of Eli Drake.
01:11:26What kind of style do you think Eli Drake would like to see this match play out in?
01:11:31Well, obviously, as you said before and pointed out, Eli Drake is the heavy of the two.
01:11:37He's the stronger, the bigger.
01:11:39And you know what?
01:11:40He's going to use that to his advantage and try to slow the champ down.
01:11:44Oh, what a shoulder tackle there by Eli Drake.
01:11:46Can Eli Drake out-wrestle Eddie Edwards?
01:11:49Absolutely not.
01:11:51Eddie Edwards has done it all, brother.
01:11:54Triple crown champion.
01:11:57Beautiful, beautiful side headlock take down there by Eddie Edwards.
01:12:01Again, Eddie is, his game plan, it looks to me like he's trying to control the head of Eli Drake.
01:12:07Like he's trying to just keep Eli Drake down.
01:12:09And now the shoulders of Eddie pinned to the mat.
01:12:13Momentarily.
01:12:13You know, you get him agitated.
01:12:15You know, get him to a point to where he's, uh, Eli Drake that is, is trying whatever he can
01:12:21to get on top.
01:12:22And you wait for him to make a mistake, but right there he caught Eddie Edwards.
01:12:26Anything can happen on any given Thursday night here in Impact Wrestling.
01:12:29Just think about the night that Eddie Edwards became world champion.
01:12:33He was handpicked by Lashley and shocked the world and became world champion.
01:12:39Will it happen here again tonight?
01:12:41Will Eli Drake shock everyone and become world champion?
01:12:45There's a big difference there because one thing about the champion Eddie Edwards,
01:12:49he take all of his opponents seriously.
01:12:51Don't take no one lightly, he brings the fight to him.
01:12:56Nice reversal here by Eli Drake.
01:12:58Eddie hangs on.
01:12:59And there goes Eli Drake, lands on his feet.
01:13:02This could be an opportunity for Eddie Edwards to dial it up here.
01:13:06Eddie's so dangerous outside the ring.
01:13:08Look at this.
01:13:08Look at this.
01:13:09That's her, Camerana.
01:13:11On the floor.
01:13:12Wow.
01:13:13If I'm the challenger, if I'm Eli Drake, it goes against the instinct and it goes against the champion's advantage.
01:13:20But get back in the ring.
01:13:21Absolutely.
01:13:22Oh, he got him.
01:13:24Eli's got him up.
01:13:25Oh!
01:13:27Wow!
01:13:29The spine is not supposed to bend that way.
01:13:32Oh man, that's not good.
01:13:34Did you see the torque and whip?
01:13:36One more look at this and he can take it.
01:13:39Oh, the body of Eddie Edwards.
01:13:41I thought Eli Drake was going to go for that Skylore slam on the outside.
01:13:46Yeah, I'm with you.
01:13:46And he reversed it and, whew, got it.
01:13:48How quick thinking for Eli Drake to think, how, what's the worst that I can do to the world champion?
01:13:54Well, it only takes one move and that move right there may be what Eli Drake needs to capture the
01:14:00championship.
01:14:00If he shows us his emergency, go for the cover.
01:14:03The champion is in trouble right now.
01:14:05Eli hooks the outside leg, perhaps just to test and see how much damage he's done to Eddie Edwards.
01:14:10The champion is certainly in jeopardy right now.
01:14:13The championship is vulnerable.
01:14:15But right now, Eli Drake doesn't need to slow this thing down.
01:14:19He don't need to waste time.
01:14:20He needs to start laying in on the champion Eddie Edwards if he wants to have a chance of coming
01:14:25out on top.
01:14:26And go after the lower back.
01:14:27He already took the man and drove him into the ring.
01:14:31Who's coming over?
01:14:32He's broken already, which is not a good thing.
01:14:35That's always been the M.O. of Eli Drake.
01:14:38It's always been what he's done.
01:14:39He's always floated.
01:14:40The man has a talk show here on MTAC Wrestling called Fact of Life,
01:14:44and he tells everyone that they're dummies.
01:14:47Yeah.
01:14:48Well, here's the fact of life.
01:14:50If he give Eddie the opportunity to breathe, to get moving.
01:14:54Scott Lawson connects.
01:14:56Almost lost him, but he fought him through, Bart.
01:14:59And now Eli Drake.
01:15:02Confidence starting to grow.
01:15:04Drives the elbow into the heart of our world champion and a kick out in two.
01:15:11Eli Drake's got to stay focused.
01:15:13Yeah.
01:15:14He's got to stay focused here.
01:15:16Can't get frustrated.
01:15:20Eli Drake still playing it cool.
01:15:23Still playing it cocky.
01:15:24I saw Eli turn all the way around in the ring.
01:15:26Almost like, what can I do next?
01:15:27Where can I go?
01:15:28How can I deliver the most punishment?
01:15:30He's up on the top rope.
01:15:31And here comes Eddie Edwards flying in.
01:15:33Yeah.
01:15:34He gave him that time, gave him that space, and Eddie Edwards capitalized on it like he
01:15:38often does.
01:15:41Eddie knows the six-sided ring so well as he tries to join Eli Drake up on the top rope
01:15:46now.
01:15:47Eddie Edwards is all the way up to the top rope.
01:15:51He's perched.
01:15:53He's got Eli Drake perhaps looking for a top rope.
01:15:58Superplex!
01:15:59Oh, he connects!
01:16:03Eli Drake writhing in pain.
01:16:06So is the champion Eddie Edwards.
01:16:10Superplexes take as much out of the man delivering them as they do the man who is taking the move.
01:16:16Absolutely.
01:16:17Both men are crashing down.
01:16:19Six feet or so, you know, to the mat, so.
01:16:23And now Eddie.
01:16:27Trying to stay right in front of Eli Drake.
01:16:30As the champion and challenger exchange forearms.
01:16:33Punch there by Eli Drake.
01:16:35And he fires right back.
01:16:38Look at the quips and the snap of the punch from Eli Drake.
01:16:42But Eddie Edwards looks to be getting the better of this exchange.
01:16:49Eli took his eyes off the champion.
01:16:52Eli Drake looking to skin the cat.
01:16:54Don't go to the outside against Eddie Edwards.
01:16:57Well, he has no choice that time because the champion caught him with that clothesline.
01:17:01He's primed.
01:17:02He's ready.
01:17:04He's howling.
01:17:05If you get a chance, don't go outside the ring against the world champion because of that.
01:17:12That was a triple shot of caffeine.
01:17:14Eddie flew all the way to the outside.
01:17:17Oh, the guardrail.
01:17:18As you look at the speed and torque in which Eddie launches himself outside the ring.
01:17:26Wow.
01:17:26Such velocity.
01:17:29Eddie wanted to connect and he did.
01:17:30But the momentum took him all the way into the front row.
01:17:34You see Eli Drake holding on to his forearm, wrist and elbow area.
01:17:39We'll have to see how that affects Eli here in this matchup.
01:17:47Eddie Edwards when he delivers that big dive to the outside.
01:17:51He's now looking for a shining wizard or the Boston knee part.
01:17:56He's looking to put away Eli Drake and Drake has to know that.
01:17:59Drake is in trouble.
01:18:01Oh.
01:18:02Just avoid the champion.
01:18:04Ooh.
01:18:05Now Eddie Edwards up on the second rope and ooh.
01:18:09Lung Blur.
01:18:11Shoulders down and shoulders down and a kick out at two.
01:18:14Look at the eyes of Eli Drake.
01:18:16He knows that his opportunity just almost went out the window.
01:18:20But he's still living.
01:18:21He's still in this matchup.
01:18:23This has been an incredible match.
01:18:26Two of the top talents in all of Impact Wrestling.
01:18:29Two young hungry athletes in the prime of their careers.
01:18:33Battling for the richest prize in our business.
01:18:37Nowhere else but on Thursday nights.
01:18:42Delivers main events like this each and every week.
01:18:46With the World Championship on the line.
01:18:48Can Eddie Edwards retain his title?
01:18:51Can Eddie Edwards play Eli Drake?
01:18:53The stop comes up empty.
01:18:55Eli Drake looking for blood force trauma.
01:18:58We're going to have a new champion.
01:19:00Puts the leg.
01:19:01Eddie Edwards kicks that into.
01:19:04Eli Drake turned the champion inside out with that blood force trauma.
01:19:08But you got to keep the pedal to the metal if you're Eli Drake.
01:19:12It's a great mistake.
01:19:12It's a great mistake.
01:19:16Drake made this mistake before after capitalizing.
01:19:19After hitting a big move, he allowed Eddie Edwards to breathe a chance to recuperate.
01:19:24Can't do it again.
01:19:26Eddie Edwards is back to his feet.
01:19:28And the challenger awaiting.
01:19:30Has Eddie locked up here.
01:19:31Hands locked.
01:19:32Eddie trying to create separation.
01:19:33It does.
01:19:35That's what the champion needs for his offense.
01:19:37space and big shot there right to the side of the head and an opportunity here for Eddie Edwards
01:19:46Eli held on Eli has the champion up and down cover new champ new champ and a kick out
01:19:54the name of a dummy Eli Drake so close so close but no cigar
01:20:01the look in the eyes of Eli Drake tells the story he's wondering how are you kicking out of all

01:20:16there's that pacing again there's that what am I going to do that you mentioned before Josh
01:20:21not often that we see Eli Drake go to the top rope this baby desperation Eddie Edwards has the heart
01:20:27of a lion he's proved that since winning the world championship and now Eli Drake he rarely goes up
