Transcript
00:00You've got the entire pro-wrestling world represented on one team of five men,
00:05but tonight, they represent Impact Wrestling and stand for the 20 years
00:11that this company has put into the ground, and now they build it into the future.
00:15That's freaking gold!
00:17The Impact Originals, I guess, I don't know, more, and it's about to go down!
00:22It's anniversary, the bell has gone, this match is underway!
00:27And as if you expected anything else, started off with absolute chaos,
00:31because despite everything we just said, it will not be an easy task going up against Honor no more.
00:36Inside the ring, it's the Motor City Machine Guns against the team known as the Kingdom Slashers,
00:41and it's Tamen and Bennett.
00:43Yeah, these are two of the very best tag teams in wrestling, not just now, but ever!
00:49Yeah, look at the guns.
00:51Early on, showing what made them so special early on in Impact Wrestling,
00:56their ability to deliver double team offense.
01:00And at such a high rate of velocity, and continuous speed, that it almost astounds the mind,
01:06but there's Eddie Edwards, a tag team specialist in his own right.
01:09Went after Shelly there, version of a brain buster, looked like they're buying that kick out by Saban.
01:16Got to wonder, Coach DeMore, I don't know what to play at this point,
01:19but Eddie Edwards, how thrown off has he got to be by Davey Richards?
01:23We haven't seen Davey here in Impact Wrestling in five years.
01:26Yeah, it's got to get into his head.
01:28Cover, cover, kick out.
01:31A little bit of mind games is always fun, boys.
01:35And another suplex delivered.
01:37Saban trying to make a tag.
01:39Never forget, professional wrestling is just as much a mind game as it is a physical game.
01:45Oh, and a thumb to the eye, as it's Nick Aldis, who's tagged into the matchup,
01:49once known as Magnus, here in Impact Wrestling.
01:52Scott, what have you thought of the rise of Magnus and what he's doing now in NWA?
01:56Oh, Magnus, Nick Aldis, he's a throwback here.
02:00And look at what he's seen, what a power move!
02:02He has continued to develop as a well-rounded individual, great talent.
02:07Tag made, Kazarian legal into the matchup,
02:10and let's not forget how this entire situation was spawned.
02:13The Battle of the Futures revisited between Kazarian and Saban.
02:16It was ruined by Honor No More.
02:19Yeah, Kazarian, Saban, they were back there in year one,
02:21and here they are 20 years later.
02:23They got together, Honor No More tried to spoil the party,
02:26but we are gonna write it right here tonight!
02:28Well, let me play a little bit of Devil's Advocate here.
02:31Honor No More merely feeling like, despite earning that opportunity months ago
02:37to officially be a part of the Impact roster,
02:40haven't gotten the credit they deserve, haven't gotten the attention they deserve,
02:43despite proving that, what they feel like proving that time and time again.
02:47How much do they appreciate that?
02:48If you think about it, Kenny King was in the ex-title match,
02:51we've had tag team title matches here for them,
02:53they've had the opportunity, here we go!
02:56These two split in 2017, it ended violently.
03:02Richards at one point cost Edwards a chance to win back the Impact World title.
03:07Edwards wants no part of Richards.
03:09I mean, you wanna talk about mind games, Eddie can't play it in just as good.
03:13He's gonna take that fight on his time, on his term.
03:18Oh!
03:20Follow the trend, and that is hashtag Slammiversary.
03:22Matt David legal, I believe Shelly made a tag.
03:27Oh!
03:29So many tag team specialists on one team.
03:31Oh!
03:34Oh my God, look at this setup.
03:35Oh, hey, come on!
03:37David's in the worst place imaginable.
03:39This is a full-on one!
03:42Edwards was barking at the official, that only made things worse there for David.
03:47All the Team Impact is for tag team gold, they know this game.
03:51Guns attacking Vincent.
03:54Oh, and look at Kaz out of the corner.
03:57Danny Richards.
03:58The freight train will not stop for Team Impact.
04:02Team Impact looking like a well-oiled machine.
04:08Oh, and the elbow drop by the big man, Aldis, is the cover.
04:13Just for a moment, there's so much going on here in the ring.
04:16Aldis didn't even wait there for the cover, there's too much action.
04:19While Shelly trying to take out some of the members of Honor No More from the apron.
04:24Double suplex here, and now the guns teeing off here on Mike Bennett.
04:29Oh, and now an elbow from Aldis, and Scott, this is rapid-fire tag team action.
04:34This is total non-stop action.
04:35I love it, this is what it was built on, boys!
04:39Now Richards.
04:40Oh!
04:41Lights up the chest of Bennett.
04:43Are you at all surprised that despite these guys not having a ton of experience together,
04:48that they're working so well together right now?
04:50I really don't think so, because they all have tag team experience,
04:52and they're all united in the fact that they stand here.
04:55Even though they're different companies,
04:56they're united in their love of Impact Wrestling and the wrestling business.
05:01There's got to be well over two dozen championships won by the Impact Originals team.
05:06It's astounding.
05:08Well, text Garrett and he'll tell you, Tom.
05:09Look, he gives you all your stats.
05:11If I'd known Davey Richards was going to be here.
05:14And now, oh, Aldis crashes into Taven.
05:20Oh, and a look at Edwards.
05:21And now, all of a sudden, it looks like Anand Amor turning the tables here, Scott.
05:26Anand Amor, no slouches.
05:27These are first-class athletes!
05:31I think about the tear that PCO's been on as of late.
05:33That is an axe factor.
05:34There's a cover and a kickout.
05:36Taven had his feet on the ropes.
05:3820 years, that was two careers ago to PCO.
05:43No kidding, the man, for decades,
05:45and still does some of the most wild, unimaginable things
05:48you've ever seen a professional wrestler do,
05:50and continues to do so every single time you see him.
05:54Strike there by Vincent.
05:56High on the shoulders.
05:58Look for a suplex and then a frontliner.
06:00Here's the cover.
06:01Hook to the leg, broken up there by Saban.
06:05Brian Hebner trying to gain control here with this matchup,
06:08and, I don't know, just came on top of the box.
06:11Good luck.
06:11I was just about to say, an almost impossible task,
06:15especially when Anand Amor is out there.
06:17As we mentioned, condolences go out to the Hebner family
06:19for their loss earlier this week.
06:21Also, condolences go out to the family of late Tim White,
06:23who I understand passed away earlier today.
06:26Yeah, what a great man he was.
06:29A boot to the face there by Taven.
06:31Taven and Bannock doing what they do best.
06:34Great tag team work here.
06:35Now, Bannock cannot put away Shelly.
06:38The Kingdom is as good a tag team as anybody out there.
06:40And Anand Amor does so well when they're able to do this.
06:43That's isolate their opponent.
06:45One opponent, pull him to your corner.
06:46That's tag team 101.
06:48Yeah, that's a good point.
06:49Even beyond the Kingdom, Anand Amor just has great unity.
06:53Off the spine buster now.
06:55Taven with a moonsault from the ropes.
06:57Hook to the leg here, and a kickout.
06:59Important to note that Anand Amor has yet to lose a five-on-five match
07:03in Impact Wrestling.
07:05Just the tip knee strike broken up by Cass.
07:12What a matchup this has been so far.
07:14Tag made, in comes Eddie Edwards.
07:18This is a guy that used to bleed Impact Wrestling.
07:22How personally, Scott, did you take that
07:23when Eddie Edwards turned his back on his company
07:26and joined Anand Amor?
07:27It makes me sick the opportunities this company gave him
07:29before I was here and after for him to turn his back.
07:32It strictly turns my stomach.
07:34And Eddie just took a cheap shot at Davey Richards there on the apron.
07:37Again, Edwards didn't want to get in the ring and fight Richards,
07:40but he will take that sort of shot.
07:42Talk about that psychological advantage.
07:44That's what Anand Amor is going after.
07:46They're going to play mind games.
07:49They're going to make you watch them beat down their own teammate.
07:53PCO with a swinging neckbreaker and Vincent trying to drag Shelly
07:57into a more dangerous position here.
07:59Last time we saw PCO, Scott, he was a bloody mess
08:02and his shoulder was out of the side.
08:03Oh boy, PCO going to the top.
08:06I've seen this before.
08:08Look out.
08:09Oh!
08:10Went for the D-Animator and Shelly escaped.
08:13Wow.
08:16That would take anybody else out permanently,
08:18but PCO, as they say, he's got you back.
08:21Yeah, something I was going to say.
08:23The PCO could feel pain.
08:25Oh, and now OGK, they go after Cass and all this.
08:28PCO making the tag to Vincent.
08:33Tons of bodies involved here in this fight.
08:35And now it's Bennett right after Shelly.
08:37Trying to send the horde here.
08:40And now Edwards hits a burp.
08:43So does Vincent.
08:44The fact that Alex Shelley still has this much fight is incredible.
08:49Hits the double slice bread,
08:51and now this is the opening Alex Shelley desperately, desperately needs.
08:55Yeah, this is the type of action that this company was built on.
08:5720 years ago, the Jerrits, Bob Ryder, Dixie Carter,
09:01this is what they envisioned, and it's here still today.
09:04Tag made, in comes Kazarian.
09:07Oh!
09:08That spirit lives on in every member of the Impact roster embodied here tonight
09:12by these five individuals taking on, I don't know, more
09:16as Kazarian now turns things up.
09:19Oh!
09:20And a forearm, flying forearm there by Kazarian.
09:23Taming into the fray.
09:25Oh!
09:26And a clothesline by Kaz.
09:29The heavy metal rebel.
09:31Off the flange is Vincent into a cutter.
09:34Notice how he pulls him away from the rope.
09:36Cover, cover.
09:37Broken up by Edwards.
09:38You're absolutely right.
09:39Good tag team competition.
09:40Watch this.
09:41Take another look.
09:42Slingshot into that cutter.
09:44Gets Kazarian and gets the one-two.
09:47But not quite enough as Eddie Edwards makes that save.
09:49PCO now legal.
09:50Remember, it was Vincent who at one point reanimated PCO.
09:55It's a rivalry with Jonah.
09:57Interesting bond there.
09:59Aldis tags into the match.
10:02Now the National Treasure looking to clean house with, I don't know, more.
10:08And Aldis all over, I don't know, more right now.
10:11Joining the fight of the Impact originals.
10:14Oh!
10:16Oh, PCO.
10:19The two largest men in this match.
10:21Yes!
10:23Looking to turn him over.
10:24Looking for a cloverleaf.
10:25Looking for the Kingsley, the Kingsley cloverleaf there.
10:28And Taven slows it up.
10:32Protecting his monster, he said.
10:33Oh, and now Shelly.
10:36Oh, and a spear by Ben.
10:40Action is non-stop here.
10:42That's not a pun.
10:43That's just a fact.
10:45Dropkick there by Vincent.
10:47Their bodies everywhere.
10:49And now Saban, the former Impact World Champion, into the fray.
10:54Oh, tearing at the eyes of Shelly.
10:59Guys, I'll tell you what.
11:00You guys don't get paid enough.
11:01I'm just a coach.
11:02You need a raise.
11:04Call it a disaction.
11:06It is fast.
11:07Aaron Fury has made his name nothing less than the Motor City Machine Gun.
11:10Classic offense from one of the best tag teams in the history of professional wrestling.
11:15Oh, look at the setup here by Shelly.
11:18Saban gets Bennett.
11:21And now Edwards.
11:23Directing traffic here with Taven.
11:25Taven over the top, into the bodies.
11:32What action here.
11:34Oh, boy.
11:35Oh, god damn.
11:36Inside the ring.
11:38Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.
11:42As you take another look at the tag team,
11:44As you take another look at this huge dive from Matt Taven.
11:48Yeah, but here's what we're looking at now.
11:50It's the Wolves squaring off face-to-face.
11:58Yes, please.
12:02The Wolves eye-to-eye at Slammiversary.
12:08Eddie Richards and Edwards going to battle.
12:11And Eddie Edwards has spent most of this match avoiding Davey Richards,
12:16trying to play those mind games.
12:17But right now, the only game he's getting is a stiff kick to the chest.
12:22The Lone Wolf Richards attacking the leader of I Don't Know More.
12:28Edwards into the corner.
12:29Now look at Richards trying to control Eddie Edwards.
12:33Don't do it.
12:38He wants it.
12:38Looking for that Dragon Screw.
12:40And he gets it.
12:42Dr. Davey Richards doing knee surgery on Eddie Edwards.
12:46Richards to the top.
12:49You saw the way that knee bent.
12:51And now Richards howling the wolf himself.
12:58And now Richards, oh, he went for the double stop.
13:03Going for a cover here, maybe.
13:04Now thinking about more offense.
13:07Looking to tie him up.
13:09He already attacked that leg.
13:10And there it is.
13:13Submission here by Richards on Edwards.
13:15And now it's Taven getting involved.
13:17But just a tip of Richards on Taven.
13:19Are you kidding me?
13:21Submission on two men one time.
13:23He's got this.
13:27Is anybody going to tell us?
13:28Oh, my God.
13:28And now Joey with the Border City Stretch.
13:33Oh, my God.
13:33Could we see the Kingsman Cloverleaf?
13:37How many submissions can one match have simultaneously?
13:42And the officials trying to keep an eye on what's going on here.
13:45But, oh, my God.
13:46Oh, and PCO launching those save and a cast.
13:49Yeah, Brian Hebner's glad he's retiring when he's trying to officiate this.
13:54It is absolute chaos.
13:58And at the center of that chaos right now is the French-Canadian Frankenstein, PCO.
14:05DDT by Perfect Creation 1.
14:08And look at Taven going up top.
14:12Taven with a monstrous Frog Splash.
14:16And now Vincent.
14:18Boom!
14:19Oh, right to the ribs of Aldis.
14:21Cover by PCO.
14:23Oh, and it's broken up.
14:25Just in time.
14:26Saban makes the save.
14:29And the action spilling back out onto the floor.
14:31Scott, in a way, it's a battle for the soul of Impact Wrestling.
14:34Imagine if Honor No More wins this matchup.
14:37What are you going to have to deal with come Thursday on AXS TV?
14:39Yeah, in on a night like tonight.
14:43It's about celebrating history, there, but ruining it.
14:47But what a stamp it would make if they could walk out of the 20th anniversary of Impact Wrestling here
14:53with a victory over the original.
14:55But PCO crashing to the ground, sending those hopes into flames.
15:01Wait for the PCO, somehow.
15:03PCO back up through his feet.
15:08And now the guns at Aldis.
15:10Focus in.
15:11Oh, and the Monster of Honor No More.
15:16Off the Michinoko.
15:17And now PCO's lined up.
15:19And Richards is feeling it.
15:21He's going to be looking once again for that Double Stomp.
15:25Setting it up here at PCO.
15:27Got it!
15:28Richards into the cover!
15:31Oh, and PCO kicked out.
15:35But Richards is not deterred.
15:38A Tang Maiden comes Saban.
15:41Saban has borne the brunt of Honor No More since they formed at Hargate.
15:49And now Maria Kanellis.
15:51The Mastermind of Honor No More.
15:55Oh!
15:56PCO!
15:57The original knockout!
16:02Tracy Brooks has not had some great things to say about Maria Kanellis recently.
16:06PCO's got a hold of Tracy Brooks.
16:08What the hell?
16:09Has she gotten involved in this matchup?
16:13And now Tracy's husband Frankie Kazarian protecting his wife.
16:18Trying to get Tracy out of the ring.
16:21Absolutely.
16:22But that gives PCO just enough time to take advantage.
16:27Honor No More.
16:28There's no luck they won't cross.
16:32Now PCO back up top.
16:33And now Kazarian's got to be absolutely furious.
16:37With PCO.
16:40Oh god, they're going all the way up there, Tom.
16:42Oh my god.
16:43Oh my god.
16:44Could it be?
16:45Could it be?
16:46Could it be?
16:49Kazarian and PCO!
16:52Flux Capacitor!
16:53That's what makes tightrope impossible!
16:56Cover!
16:58Oh!
16:59And a kickout by PCO!
17:02What?
17:03Kenny King!
17:05Kenny King was an Ultimate X earlier on tonight.
17:09Ultimately unsuccessful.
17:10Oh baby!
17:11Oh god.
17:12Oh no.
17:14The form of EMP!
17:16Wait a minute!
17:17Earl Hebner!
17:18D'Lo Brown!
17:21Sky high!
17:23Boom!
17:24You better recognize!
17:27The referee is outside the ring.
17:29Trying to deal with all this chaos.
17:34Brian, Brian Ebner's down.
17:35Earl Hebner's checking on his son.
17:38Oh baby!
17:39I see that look in D'Lo's eyes!
17:41He's got to get froggy!
17:42No way.
17:43No way.
17:44No, no, no, no.
17:45Come on!
17:46Come on!
17:47D'Lo!
17:49I don't know.
17:50More talking to D'Lo.
17:51Oh!
17:52He's got the job!
17:53In January, D'Lo's...
17:55He's milking it!
17:57He wants to get the pump and he's got it, baby!
18:01My god!
18:03You're looking at the real D'Lo now!
18:05Oh yeah!
18:07D'Lo!
18:09He's still got it, folks!
18:12Representing the Aces and it's caught.
18:14And now PCO is in a bad spot.
18:17PCO's in no-man's land!
18:20The Motor City Machine Guns tearing off on The Freak.
18:23Stereo Kids!
18:28But they know they're going to have to put a lot of offense into this freak
18:31to put him down for good.
18:34Trying to set up maybe for the cradle shock.
18:36And now here comes OGK.
18:39Looking to save it for their partner.
18:41But no!
18:42Denied by a pair of superkicks.
18:45Wave of the future!
18:46Shell shock!
18:48Cradle shock!
18:51Could this be it?
18:52Oh, it's the Hall of Famer!
18:54Is this official?
18:55What?
18:56Is this allowed?
18:57What's going on?
18:58It's the Hall of Famer!
19:00Oh yeah, I should have told you guys!
19:02Defeated Earl Hammond this afternoon!
19:04What?
19:06What?
19:07One, two, three!
19:09Yes!
19:10The Reginals win!
19:12Your winners, Frankie Kazari and the Motor City Machine Guns,
19:17Nick Aldridge and Davey Richards!
19:22What a win by Team Impact, boys!
19:26I hope James Storm brought enough beer for everybody
19:29because the celebration will go down.
19:31Honor No More will not spoil this anniversary!
19:35Yeah, and I've got to say, thank you Jim Chen!
19:38Thank you Jim Chen!
19:40Thank you Bob Reiner up above!
19:42Thank you Dixie, Billy, Courtney, Endham Sports!
19:45Thank you all, baby!
19:46I'm going to celebrate!
19:49Thank you, Scott!
19:50You know, we've been speaking of Impact, the Reginals, and Legends.
19:54We've heard from plenty of them.
19:56We've seen plenty of them in action.
19:58And as a part of the celebration here this evening at Slammiversary,
20:02however, perhaps no one was as phenomenal as this man
20:09on the trajectory of Impact Wrestling.
