00:00:49I was looking for you backstage just now
00:00:51Went to your locker room and I saw
00:00:53I thought that you were past that and I thought that we were past that we became friends

00:01:37Joe Hendry, they were interrupted by first-class first-class believes they should be the main event
00:01:49And there's Henry's tag-team partner
00:01:57Danger zone
00:02:02It'll be and Hendry for the TNA world title
00:02:11Tonight was sold out
00:02:13We continue our march towards battle for glory
00:02:21Welcome to TNA
00:02:23Clip-ons
00:02:40The challenger from Detroit
00:02:48Qualifications matchup as a part of pick your poison. This was created by Matt Cardona
00:02:53Well, ladies and gentlemen all proceeds from TNA shows in Nashville are being donated to Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Spartanburg, South Carolina
00:03:01Where our recent events were supposed to take place. We invite you to head to
00:03:06UW-Piedmont org slash united for all to learn how you can help those affected in the Spartanburg, South Carolina area
00:03:23His opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he is the reigning and defending TNA digital media and international heavyweight wrestling champion, the French-Canadian Frankenstein, PCL!
00:03:54Plus in Detroit, PCL will defend both his titles against Matt Cardona in
00:04:00Monsters Ball at Bound for Glory. That matchup was presented by the Eye of the Salamander in theaters on November 1st.
00:04:09Regardless of the outcome of this matchup, it will still be PCL and Matt Cardona in Monsters Ball at Bound for Glory.
00:04:16I'm sure the complete Matt Cardona is still completely terrified of PCL.
00:04:22Well, who wouldn't be? The match is called Monsters Ball. PCL is a literal monster, but credit to Matt Cardona for this choice in Pick Your Poison.
00:04:32And not only that, picking PCL's best man, Rhino, to fight him, but he wanted to avoid a whole I'll just not fight you, I'll just lay down situation by putting those titles on the line in this Pick Your Poison matchup.
00:04:46PCL is well aware of the fight ahead of him, the same with Rhino. These two putting their friendship aside for the battle.
00:04:53And this is just the first of two Pick Your Poison matches we're going to see tonight. Later on this evening, Stuffed Salamander and PCL have selected the TNA world champion to face Matt Cardona as a part of that Pick Your Poison matchup.
00:05:07Also still to come tonight, Masha Slavich and the Knockouts world champion, Jordan Grace will be face to face.
00:05:14Oh, that'll be moderated by my broadcast colleague, Matthew Rehwoldt. We're already exploring the boundaries of this no disqualifications matchup.
00:05:22Also still to come tonight, and the first time ever encounter, Ryan Myers with the assist of one half of the TNA world tag team champions.
00:05:30We'll face Mike Santana before Santana gets his hands on Moose at Bound for Glory. Plus, Mike Bailey will defend his X Division championship against Leon Slater.
00:05:42Slater is attempting to become the youngest X Division champion of all time.
00:05:47Oh, PCO into the steel steps. And also this evening, we will hear from Steve Macklin right here on the impact zone following the events of last week, how the Northern Armory targeted both Macklin and Eric Young.
00:06:01Oh, and now Rhino trying to drive PCO face first into the edge of the steel steps. And now the man is set into danger.
00:06:11Now PCO trying to hold on to his championships amidst this no disqualifications matchup.
00:06:20Oh, and slowed up by the War Machine.
00:06:24And this nasty drag out fight here just keeps getting worse for these two friends.
00:06:36Oh my God! Spine first into the steel.
00:06:43Matt Cardona knew what he was doing when he picked this match.
00:06:54And now a steel chair right to the midsection of Rhino.
00:06:59Two extreme monsters doing battle here inside Skyway Studios in Nashville.
00:07:07Yeah, two men who are not unfamiliar with weaponry in the pro wrestling space here.
00:07:13Now what is on the mind of the French Canadian Frankenstein here.
00:07:19And this is just a taste of what Monsters Ball will be about.
00:07:24Remember, no food, no water, no life for the combatants 24 hours before that no disqualification style of matchup.
00:07:32PCO went for the de-animator, but Rhino rolled out of the way.
00:07:37PCO not only hitting that apron, hitting some of those chairs, the corners on the way down.
00:07:48Now Rhino rearranging some furniture himself.
00:08:05Rhino trying to leave Nashville here a double champion.
00:08:11Oh! And Rhino went for the chop. Connected with the post.
00:08:20Oh! And now Rhino into the steel post.
00:08:24Remember, both of PCO's championships are on the line.
00:08:28They can only change hands via pinfall or submission inside the ring.
00:08:31We do know how much PCO covets those championships.
00:08:34He's won them at Slammiversary in his hometown of Montreal.
00:08:37The same city where he married his wife, Steph Delander, the following week on Impact.
00:08:42What a month that was.
00:08:44Meanwhile, here we are.
00:08:47Between these two monsters ahead of Monsters Ball at Bound for Glory.
00:08:56That's where PCO will get a chance to get his hands on that.
00:09:01Cardona, the man who's made his marriage a living hell.
00:09:10Oh! And that chop slammed the Rhino into the steel trash can.
00:09:17And that's got to be in the back of PCO's mind.
00:09:20He's got to be transferring visions of Matt Cardona onto one of his good friends Rhino here.
00:09:26In this title matchup, everything Matt Cardona has done coming back claiming Steph Delander was his property.
00:09:34And now PCO throws Rhino into the trash can of the skull.
00:09:42And PCO went down like a boulder.
00:09:56Rhino now sending PCO back inside the ring.
00:10:04Matt Cardona created this environment, the incentive for Rhino trying to win the titles.
00:10:11And a kick out.
00:10:12About to throw the friendship out the window.
00:10:14Rhino understands the situation, so does PCO.
00:10:17They're going to be messed up friends after this, but still.
00:10:22If there's any two that can work it out, it's these two.
00:10:30That trash can fast fired, no pun intended, on Rhino there.
00:10:39Remember all the things that Matt Cardona has done to PCO and Steph Delander?
00:10:44Called Steph Delander his property at one point.
00:10:47Matt Cardona interrupted their wedding.
00:10:49Assaulted PCO during their honeymoon.
00:10:52We know Steph Delander is away from TNA Wrestling out of safety.
00:10:55Suffered a neck injury and requires surgery soon.
00:10:58And PCO has been distraught, but was told by Steph Delander to be patient.
00:11:03Pick the right moment.
00:11:04And he has that moment at Battle for Glory in Monster's Ball.
00:11:10PCO, I think was thinking PCO solved here with Rhino, but...
00:11:14Oh, now this might backfire on PCO.
00:11:18Oh, and oh, PCO through the steel chairs.
00:11:24To win the championships, oh, and PCO is still in it.
00:11:33It is still alive.
00:11:37And now Rhino looking for some extra hardware.
00:11:44Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table! Table!
00:11:54And could Rhino be thinking a little gore through the timber here?
00:12:04Look out, look out, PCO!
00:12:06Oh, Rhino through the table!
00:12:15And now it's PCO once again scaling the ropes.
00:12:21Rhino is down!
00:12:27The PCO solves!
00:12:31Cover!
00:12:33PCO retains his titles!
00:12:37Here's your winner, and still the TNA Digital Media
00:12:42and the International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, PCO!
00:12:48Matt Cardona may have picked the poison, but PCO answered the call.
00:12:53The Digital Media and International Heavyweight titles will be on the line in Monster's Ball!
00:13:02Please welcome my guest this time, he's your TNA World Champion, Nick Nemeth.
00:13:07Ninja.
00:13:08Nick, it's no secret, you've got a lot on your plate right now.
00:13:11I mean, the main event tonight is a Pick Your Poison match against Matt Cardona.
00:13:16Are you at all worried about stepping into the ring this close to the biggest event of the year,
00:13:21that main event at Bound for Glory?
00:13:23I assure you, I am not worried.
00:13:25Now, there's some nervous excitement inside me, but that's life.
00:13:28The day that that dies inside of me, then I don't want to be in this business.
00:13:32But as the TNA Champion, a fighting champion, I dream about nights like this.
00:13:37I feel that excitement and I feed off it.
00:13:39Now, I'm so excited for this big main event, this Pick Your Poison match,
00:13:43that I went to Santino and I said, as the fighting TNA Champion I am,
00:13:47I want to put this title on the line.
00:13:50Unfortunately, Santino said I would possibly be compromising the main event at Bound for Glory,
00:13:55and I actually understand that.
00:13:57Now, that being said, Cardona, when I pin you tonight,
00:14:00and then when I win at Bound for Glory and hold this title up high,
00:14:03any night you want, this title will be put on the line,
00:14:06because I am that fighting champion and I am that damn good.
00:14:10Now, tonight, we get to see me do what I live to do,
00:14:15steal the show and your girlfriend, no offense, but it's going to happen.
00:14:19Cardona, this has been years in the making and we've seen each other so many damn times.
00:14:24I can't wait to knock that look off your dumb face.
00:14:28You used to be something special,
00:14:32and I'm going to prove tonight that right here, the TNA champ, the fighting champ,
00:14:37is going to do what he does best, steal the show and beat Matt Cardona.
00:14:43See you out there, kid.
00:14:49Nemeth and Cardona clash amidst Pick Your Poison later on tonight.
00:14:53Also, Speedball Mike Bailey defends the Exhibition Championship against Leon Slater tonight.
00:14:58But coming up next, Ash by Elegance is in action on Impact.
00:15:05And we are back, sold out in Nashville. This is TNA Impact.
00:15:11Good evening.
00:15:13Yes, it is I, Ariana Grace,
00:15:17a.k.a. Miss NXT, a.k.a. The Liaison,
00:15:22a.k.a. the most beautiful woman on the planet.
00:15:26And I am here today to present to you another NXT superstar.
00:15:34She brings the Brinergy. She is Brinactive.
00:15:38And honestly, she's like one of my best friends.
00:15:41Britney!
00:15:46How many best friends does she have?
00:15:48She's really popular. Something you know nothing about, Tom. Don't be jealous.
00:15:52Shut up, Ray Roy.
00:15:55Well, so far, Ariana Grace has introduced some interesting wrestlers here into TNA to cross the line.
00:16:05For a lot of different opportunities, we've seen Kendall Gray and Carly Bright as of late.
00:16:10Sol Ruka introduced, who we saw was fantastic last week in a six knockouts tag team matchup.
00:16:16And now, Brinley Reese diving into the ring.
00:16:20Plenty of ability and athleticism. Curious to see how Reese fares tonight on Impact.
00:16:28Hold on a sec. Now you hold on a second. Shut your mouth, folks.
00:16:35I'll show you how it's done, because I'm the personal poussieres.
00:16:41Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard that one of the greatest musical icons is from right here in Nashville, Johnny Cash.
00:16:51Well, I think he sucks.
00:16:55He's a bum and he's talentless, just like each and every one of you degenerates.
00:17:02The good news is, I have somebody here who's a real talent.
00:17:08I have somebody here who's got more talent in her picky than Johnny Cash had in his whole body.
00:17:16In fact, you could say she's hotter than a ring of fire.
00:17:22So ladies and gentlemen, stand up and show some respect for one of the greatest box office attractions in TNA history.
00:17:29The often imitated, the never duplicated, Miss Ash, by elegance.
00:17:36And that is how you do an introduction.
00:17:40Ariana Grace, I hope you took a couple of notes from the concierge.
00:17:45And I hope they hope that friendly Reese is taking notes because Ash by elegance is going to give her a hell of a contest here.
00:17:53And it was last week on impact.
00:17:55It looked like Ash by elegance was beginning to give a hell of a makeover to Heather Reckless.
00:18:02And I have a note to pass on from the personal concierge.
00:18:05Oh, good.
00:18:06Let me get this. I want to make sure this is correct.
00:18:08Can't wait.
00:18:09Ash by elegance and the personal concierge have sent Heather Reckless on an all expenses pay to a special, highly regarded doctor in Boca Raton, Florida to finish the makeover and get her all ready and presentable.
00:18:24I can't wait to see the result of this.
00:18:26Knowing the expense, the work, the time put in by Ash and her personal concierge.
00:18:32It's going to be incredible.
00:18:34I invite you to head to watch.
00:18:36TNA Wrestling dot com now to take advantage of a special discounted seasonal world champion plan that gives you all access to TNA plus from now into January, including our next three live events.
00:18:46Bound for glory.
00:18:47Twenty twenty four.
00:18:49Turning point.
00:18:50Final resolution.
00:18:51Again, head to watch TNA Wrestling dot com now and take advantage of our special discounted seasonal world champion plan by elegance.
00:19:00A faux sign of sportsmanship there to start things off as we become very accustomed to with Ash by elegance and taking it to Brindley Reese.
00:19:07There's the personal concierge up on the apron.
00:19:10What the hell is he doing?
00:19:11Is that lipstick?
00:19:12Yes, it's lipstick.
00:19:14Oh, I know you've never gotten close enough to a woman's mouth to know the difference.
00:19:18But trust me, that kind of thing is important.
00:19:21What is wrong with you?
00:19:22So many things.
00:19:23But that's not what we're talking about.
00:19:25Come on.
00:19:26The disrespect.
00:19:27Really racist.
00:19:28Wipe off all the lipstick.
00:19:30She walked into this house.
00:19:32Oh, asked by elegance is a hot mess.
00:19:34Apologies.
00:19:35Only one applies.
00:19:39That's not making it better.
00:19:40It's still all over the place.
00:19:42Like a Jackson.
00:19:43He's an idiot.
00:19:46Stop apologizing for the dunce.
00:19:49Absolutely not.
00:19:51There you go.
00:19:52Breathe it in.
00:19:54Compose yourself against this interloper.
00:19:58Now, Brindley Reese is a heck of an athlete.
00:20:02Former tumbler and acrobat.
00:20:05Collegiate athlete.
00:20:08You know who else is?
00:20:11Ashed by elegance.
00:20:12Tumbling background.
00:20:13Bodybuilding background.
00:20:14Athletic background.
00:20:18Elegant background.
00:20:19Oh, God.
00:20:20I don't think Brindley Reese has got that.
00:20:22Ooh.
00:20:29That's right.
00:20:31More than just a pretty face.
00:20:36Now, elegance is calling for a time out.
00:20:39Here we go.
00:20:42Look at that.
00:20:43Nonstop.
00:20:51More push-ups.
00:20:52Let's go.
00:20:53That's a terrible push-up.
00:20:55Like you would know.
00:20:57That's freaking irony if I've ever seen it.
00:21:00And now.
00:21:02Oh, some claps in the middle.
00:21:06You'd probably tear your other pack if this happened.
00:21:13Yeah, this is not a good moment.
00:21:19Well, good thing it's not an I quit matchup.
00:21:24With that big right hand and Brindley Reese able to respond.
00:21:28I'm starting to like the people that Ariana Grace brings around.
00:21:33Especially if they do this to Ash by elegance and the personal
00:21:36concierge.
00:21:37Just you wait.
00:21:38This isn't over yet.
00:21:39That's what I'm talking about.
00:21:41Bye-bye, Brindley.
00:21:43Kicked Reese right off of the edge.
00:21:45And now look at the personal concierge with that lipstick.
00:21:50Yeah, you want to play games like this?
00:21:53You better watch out.
00:22:00Rolls out of the ring going after Brindley Reese.
00:22:06Here's a cover hook to the leg and a kick out.
00:22:08And we mentioned the makeover of Heather reckless.
00:22:11We saw a number of weeks ago on impact at San Antonio that Heather
00:22:14reckless had invited.
00:22:16By elegance to come out to ringside and ultimately the involvement of
00:22:19ash and the personal concierge led to Heather reckless getting the win
00:22:23against Zion Brookside was a long history with ash by elegance.
00:22:27And on top of that.
00:22:28Heather reckless used the rarefied air to get the win against Zion
00:22:32Brookside ingratiating herself into ash by elegance and her company.
00:22:37It's a smart move to put yourself in the orbit in the shadow in the
00:22:42in the wings.
00:22:43If you will, umbrella by elegance, whatever you want to call it.
00:22:49Brindley Reese nearly got the victory there.
00:22:55Brindley Reese using her strength against ash by elegance.
00:23:04A rare opening here.
00:23:09The clothesline is the cover.
00:23:12Oh, and a kick out by ash by elegance.
00:23:15Take more than that to take down the elegant one.
00:23:19Who's fought through all this disrespect so far with the makeup and the
00:23:24lip gloss.
00:23:26And I'll look at some of the power of Brindley Reese on display.
00:23:33And the personal concierge creating the distraction.
00:23:36The reverse TDT by ash.
00:23:38Hey, she wants to have fun in games like that.
00:23:41Sometimes you pay.
00:23:43But ash by elegance now climbing in to that very, very sweet, sweet.
00:23:50You know what it is?
00:23:53There it is.
00:23:56Ash by elegance puts away NXT's Brindley Reese.
00:24:02Here's your winner, ash by elegance.
00:24:07Despite the disrespect early on in this matchup,
00:24:10ash fought valiantly through.
00:24:19Until recently, we've been in the business of doing makeovers.
00:24:25And next week, we are going to do a VIP makeover launch party by elegance.
00:24:36But tonight, I think we should give this NXT girl a makeover.
00:24:42And let's show her what it is to be elegant.
00:24:48Ooh, a little bit of maybe turnabout being fair play here.
00:24:53Welcome to TNA.
00:24:55Welcome to elegance.
00:24:58Smearing that lipstick all over Reese's face.
00:25:04An emphatic bit of elegance here.
00:25:06There you go.
00:25:07Oh, inviting Brindley Reese.
00:25:09Oh, I think she was just marking her.
00:25:12Really adding.
00:25:14Oh, come on.
00:25:15Oh, come on.
00:25:16And you know who's not going to stand for that?
00:25:18That's Xia Brookside, who's formed the brunt of ash by elegance's antics
00:25:23for most of this year.
00:25:26Once again, putting her nose in where it doesn't belong.
00:25:37Brookside has no idea what she's bitten off here with ash by elegance.
00:25:42Just wait until the launch party next week.
00:25:50Well, still to come tonight, it's more of Pick Your Poison.
00:25:53Nick Namath goes one-on-one with Matt Cartona, plus Grace and Slavich
00:25:57bow for glory opponents.
00:25:59They'll be face-to-face tonight.
00:26:00But coming up next, it should be a thriller for the X-Division
00:26:04Championship on Impact.
00:26:12No more humans.
00:26:16No more humans.
00:26:18We've said it over and over and over again, and yet we still keep giving them
00:26:22chances.
00:26:24Pasha may be a formidable opponent, but she lost the match for us.
00:26:28Oh, we hate to lose.
00:26:34You're right.
00:26:35You're right.
00:26:36You're right.
00:26:37You're right.
00:26:38It's good.
00:26:39It's good.
00:26:41It's good.
00:26:42You deserve to be at the end of our night.
00:26:48Stop and go.
00:26:49Stop and go.
00:26:57A little green one, a little red one.
00:27:00♪♪
00:27:03Stop and go, stop and go, stop and go, stop and go,

00:27:55it'll take you to the exact match on TNA+,
00:27:58where it was Amazing Red back in 2003,
00:28:02captured the X-Division Championship,
00:28:04and became the youngest X-Division champion
00:28:07of all time at 21 years of age.
00:28:10Tonight, here in Nashville, Tennessee,
00:28:12the same city where that match took place,
00:28:15Leon Slater trying to win the X-Division title
00:28:18at 20 years of age.
00:28:20These kids keep getting younger and younger, Tom,
00:28:23and they keep getting better and better.
00:28:27♪♪
00:28:37His opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
00:28:39is the reigning and defending TNA X-Division champion,
00:28:44Spiegel!
00:28:45My family!
00:28:47Last week, amidst the three-way matchup
00:28:49that Slater won to earn this X-Division title shot,
00:28:52we were joined on commentary
00:28:53by the champion speedball, Mike Bailey.
00:28:55He said he was impressed with Leon Slater,
00:28:58but he believes he has a lot of potential
00:29:00still yet to be realized.
00:29:01What say you?
00:29:03I mean, he's 20!
00:29:05He's been wrestling for over a decade.
00:29:07Which is insane!
00:29:08But at this point, of course, he only has up to go.
00:29:12As far as his trajectory,
00:29:13as far as what he has to learn,
00:29:15the sky is the damn limit.
00:29:19Right now, let's take a look at the X-Factors.
00:29:22As I mentioned, it was last week
00:29:23that Leon Slater defeated Laredo Kid
00:29:26and Jason Hodge last week to earn this title shot.
00:29:30Meanwhile, Bailey's been on a roll.
00:29:31Speedball hasn't lost a single match in TNA in five months.
00:29:36And as we mentioned, Leon Slater
00:29:37can break the record set by Amazing Red
00:29:41for the youngest X-Division champion
00:29:43in the 22-year history of this prestigious championship.
00:29:50And that is what it's all about tonight.
00:29:52It's not about weight limits. It's about no limits.
00:29:55Bailey and Slater for the X-Division championship.
00:30:00Both these guys are very familiar
00:30:02with pushing that credo to and beyond its limits.
00:30:09Particularly in the case of Leon Slater,
00:30:13I told him the sky's the limit.
00:30:15He's pushing that limit every time he steps in the ring.
00:30:20As these two share a sign of respect
00:30:24to the best athletes in the game today.
00:30:30Slater trying to lock in here against Speedball.
00:30:33Mike Bailey, a three-time X-Division champion.
00:30:38Already Slater using that size to his advantage.
00:30:42That little size got a little reach on him.
00:30:45Bailey's going to have to go to that striking game
00:30:48that has got him so much success.
00:30:51This is an absolute dream match
00:30:53in professional wrestling.
00:30:58It is indeed.
00:30:59And to be fair, it has been before.
00:31:02These two not total strangers.
00:31:05I've been fortunate enough
00:31:06to be around for some of their matches.
00:31:22But Bailey here offering it up again
00:31:24and now offering up yet another hammer lock here
00:31:27to young Leon Slater.
00:31:29This is interesting from Bailey.
00:31:31We don't often see him try to slow down
00:31:33the pace of his matches.
00:31:34What do you think about this?
00:31:35Well, that's what I was going to say
00:31:36at the beginning of this match.
00:31:37I was like, Mike Bailey's going to have to rely
00:31:39on his striking.
00:31:40Those kicks have gotten him a lot of success,
00:31:42but he's going to the ground game.
00:31:46And look at that.
00:31:47There's the power game of Leon Slater.
00:31:51Slater, oh!
00:31:53Went for that crisscross splash there.
00:31:57Ooh!
00:31:58And take Bailey off his feet.
00:32:00Slater trying to push through the damage in the left arm.
00:32:03Splash!
00:32:04Off of the apron.
00:32:05Trying to capture the X Division title.
00:32:07Feet were underneath the ropes there.
00:32:08Great call there by Daniel Spencer, our referee.
00:32:12Look out.
00:32:13Looking to fly again.
00:32:14It's Leon Slater!
00:32:16There's the kicks from Bailey.
00:32:19As if on cue.
00:32:20And now it's Bailey pushing the pace.
00:32:23That is why Speedball Mike Bailey
00:32:26is your X Division champion.
00:32:30And Bailey, wasting no time again,
00:32:33hammer locking that elbow.
00:32:37The left shoulder into the post.
00:32:39This X Division title match continues.
00:32:42Picture in picture.
00:32:44I'm Mikey Sarris, 5'10", 185, defensive back.
00:32:47What I appreciate about Speedball Mike Bailey
00:32:51is the feel of the clothing.
00:32:53It's not like anything else I've ever worn.
00:32:55I put the suit on, it's time for business.
00:32:57In these nice threads, I look good, I feel good.
00:32:59I feel like I could go play defense right now.
00:33:01To get that interception in the National Championship,
00:33:04sealing the deal, there's no better feeling.
00:33:06You never know when your moment's gonna come.
00:33:08All you can do is be prepared for that moment.
00:33:10Come draft day, there's only one team that can draft me.

00:35:53The X Division Championship is at stake tonight in Nashville.
00:35:57Oh, and Leon Slater, the challenger, went for that handspring against the champion, Speedball Mike Biddley.
00:36:03But the damage done to the left shoulder by Bailey forced the shoulder to go out, but Slater found another way to hit some offense.
00:36:10That was some great ingenuity by Slater, but I have to imagine it was instinct kicking in for him.
00:36:15With the handspring, my God!
00:36:18What a move by Leon Slater, who is trying to make history and become the youngest X Division champion ever at 20 years of age.
00:36:28A record that is held now by the former X Division champion, the TNA legend, Amazing Red, who was 21 years of age when he capped for the title in 2003.
00:36:42Speedball leveling the competition once again. Look out!
00:36:46Went for the running shooting star, came up empty. The man who calls himself the youngest in charge can realize that and capture the championship.
00:36:57Ooh, again, just doing what you do as a wrestler, but Bailey's made it painful with all that work to the arm.
00:37:06Went for that leg, Lariat. Oh, but it kicked to the head. Slater got it from the backside!
00:37:17TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
00:37:27And this is what TNA and the X Division is all about!
00:37:33Fight forever! Fight forever! Fight forever! Fight forever!
00:37:42I don't forget still to come tonight.
00:37:46We don't call ourselves total nonstop action for nothing.
00:37:49Pick your poison.
00:37:50The TNA World Champion Nick Nemeth one on one with Matt Cardona.
00:37:54We'll see Masha Slavich and
00:37:56the Knockouts World Champion Jordan Grace face to face.
00:37:59We will hear from Steve Macklin right here in the impact zone.
00:38:03Plus, Ryan Myers, one half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions,
00:38:07goes one on one with Mike Santana in a first time ever matchup.
00:38:11That is all still to come tonight.
00:38:15Bayley going back to that arm any chance he gets to try to neutralize.
00:38:20Leon Slater, there you go, one more time.
00:38:24Continues to do damage to the left arm of Leon Slater,
00:38:27trying to take away some of Slater's offense.
00:38:29He's just trying to pop his shoulder back into place off of the top turnbuckle.
00:38:36Once again, Bayley's laser focused in on that arm.
00:38:41Back elbows, Slater doing anything possible to try and break it.
00:38:45But Bayley, very, very smart.
00:38:47Reversal for a reversal, Bayley not giving an inch here.
00:38:53And Slater, creative way out of that situation.
00:38:56Must be throbbing in pain, but Slater just keeps moving forward.
00:39:05Leon Slater, on the top and level speedball on the outside.
00:39:12Essentially had to do that one arm, but somehow gets the job done.
00:39:30The sold out crowd here in Nashville,
00:39:32showing their respect for Bayley and Slater.
00:39:36Leon Slater, who grew up a TNA kid, a fan of TNA wrestling,
00:39:41trying to realize his dream and capture the prestigious X-Division title.
00:39:46Oh, I think he was targeting Bayley.
00:39:48He's going to leave clean out of the ring.
00:39:50Bayley felt it coming, knees right to the chest.
00:39:54Right to the chest, caught that arm a little bit too.
00:39:57Bayley continuing to punish Slater, look at that.
00:40:00Oh, slight flash before his eyes there.
00:40:03Avoided the kick, back to the lock.
00:40:06Uh-oh.
00:40:07Oh, Slater got him.
00:40:10Oh, a little payback there on Bayley.
00:40:15Mike Bayley's done a great job of taking out the upper half of Leon Slater.
00:40:21He's used his legs, his lower half with great efficiency here.
00:40:25Oh, Slater, Slater was scrambling,
00:40:28trying to attempt a pinfall there on Bayley, but the champion rolled out.
00:40:33Smart strategy by speedball Mike Bayley there.
00:40:36Title can only change hands via pinfall or submission in the ring,
00:40:40not via countout or disqualification.
00:40:43Advantage, of course, to the champion, Bayley.
00:40:47Slater continues to try and pop that shoulder back into place.
00:40:50Have you ever experienced that mid-match?
00:40:52Oh yeah, it's the absolute worst.
00:40:54I probably gave up the last time that happened.
00:40:58But Slater here, continuing to fight like it's nobody's business here,
00:41:04like history's on the line, because it is.
00:41:08Oh, one for that kick, one more time, and Bayley, through the skies, flattens Slater.
00:41:14Take another look at this.
00:41:16Slater goes for the whirlwind kick here.
00:41:18Bayley, though, with the moonsault to counter.
00:41:22What a matchup.
00:41:24And now Bayley, again, wanting to do things the right way.
00:41:28Slater back inside the ring.
00:41:30Slater's down.
00:41:31What's Bayley thinking about here?
00:41:36All right, Bayley, on one of the shooting star, but he landed on his feet.
00:41:42Stuck the landing, but oh my God, tossed around by Slater.
00:41:46Can he win the title?
00:41:47Can he win the title in a kickout?
00:41:51A huge standing blue thunder bomb, still not enough to put Speedball away.
00:41:57Can the youngest in charge become the youngest X-Division champion of all time?
00:42:08And Slater now fired up, feeling the energy from the fans here in the impact zone, lighting up.
00:42:14Bayley, Slater, oh!
00:42:17Bayley got the better of the exchange.
00:42:19Bayley to retain, oh no, a kick out the back to the left arm.
00:42:22Hell of a counter, and the tenacity of Bayley there.
00:42:27A backstabber to the arm.
00:42:32And now Bayley, oh, he was lighted up with a tornado kick.
00:42:36Top of the leg, Larian.
00:42:39And once again, Slater finds himself in a rare opportunity to put this one away, to make history.
00:42:45Kick right to the face.
00:42:47Bayley went face first off of the apron on his way outside.
00:42:52And now, wait, hold up.
00:42:55Slater looking to pick up where he left off.
00:42:59Big play, Slater over the top.
00:43:07And Slater, he's fired up, and he's not done.
00:43:11Bayley into the ring.
00:43:17Come on, Slater, make history.
00:43:22Capture the championship.
00:43:23Bayley?
00:43:24Oh, now Bayley kicked that left arm.
00:43:27As if he could almost smell it.
00:43:30Bayley knew that Swanton 450 was coming.
00:43:35Bayley's hard work paying off in the late stages of this matchup.
00:43:39Went after the left arm, wait a minute.
00:43:40Oh, both men go down hard.
00:43:44I think that was Slater able to counter Bayley there, dropping down Bayley.
00:43:49It was hard to tell who got the better of the exchange, but Slater's on the move.
00:43:58And once again, scaling the ropes.
00:44:01Speedball in his sights.
00:44:03Gold in his future.
00:44:05Slater trying to seize the moment.
00:44:08What's the Swanton 450?
00:44:10No.
00:44:12All right, now speedball, speedball into the submission.
00:44:15Look at this, wrenching on Slater here.
00:44:20Pulling back on the arm.
00:44:23Slater's caught.
00:44:26Oh, turned inside out by Bayley.
00:44:29Bayley just planted Slater.
00:44:35And now pummeling with those kicks.
00:44:38The trademark strikes that you talked about earlier on in the matchup.
00:44:42The tornado kick.
00:44:46And is it academic from here?
00:44:50Ultima weapon.
00:44:54Wait, Bayley's not done though.
00:44:57Bayley could have tried to end it right there,
00:44:59but setting up Slater for the flamingo driver.
00:45:04Bayley retains.
00:45:06Here is your winner, and still TNA X Division check-in, Mike Bayley.
00:45:13An instant classic unfolding right in front of our eyes.
00:45:23Hot damn.
00:45:26Ain't wrestling a beautiful thing when it's done at that kind of level.
00:45:35Go, go, go!
00:45:57What a sign of respect.
00:46:01Give Leon Slater his flowers.
00:46:04He may not have made history tonight,
00:46:06attempting to become the youngest X-Division champion
00:46:09in history, but he proved he is championship material.
00:46:15Hats off, however, to Speedball.
00:46:18That is the standard of the X-Division.
00:46:22The three-time X-Division champion, Speedball Mike
00:46:26Bailey.
00:46:34I play him in 5-4-9.
00:46:47Oh, my God.
00:46:53The Kingo returning to TNA with his eyes on Bailey
00:47:03and the X-Division title at Bound for Glory.
00:47:13Well, the heads keep on coming before their respective Bound
00:47:16for Glory matches.
00:47:17Nemeth and Cartona clash in Pick Your Poison.
00:47:20Also, Brian Myers of the System faces Mike Santana tonight.
00:47:24But coming up next, we'll hear from Steve Macklin
00:47:27in the Impact Zone.
00:47:34Hardy!
00:47:35Hardy!
00:47:36Hardy!
00:47:37Hardy!
00:47:38Hardy!
00:47:39Hardy!
00:47:40Hardy!
00:47:41Hardy!
00:47:42Hardy!
00:47:43Hardy!
00:47:44Hardy!
00:47:45There's a lot of people out there in the pro wrestling
00:47:48world that are doubting us.
00:47:50Maybe it's time for us to hang it up.
00:47:52Maybe it's time to hang up the boots.
00:47:53Maybe it's time to just go home and be dads.
00:47:55This was supposed to be a triumphant return for the Hardys
00:47:59to TNA.
00:48:00This has turned ugly.
00:48:03Trust the System.
00:48:04You try to fight the System, the System fights back.
00:48:10Everybody was hoping and praying for a System failure.
00:48:14But all they got was a System reboot.
00:48:17Here are your winners and new TNA World Tag Team Champions,
00:48:23The System!
00:48:25It would be one thing if we would have lost them to better men.
00:48:28But that's not the case.
00:48:29We lost them to a crooked System.
00:48:31A System that continuously bends and breaks the rules
00:48:33to get whatever they want.
00:48:35Something has got to be done about it.
00:48:37If I were you, I'd keep your eyes on the match between ABC
00:48:40and the Hard Boys.
00:48:42Because it just might have some very serious implications
00:48:44at Bound for Glory.
00:48:46We were at the right place at the right time,
00:48:49and nothing is going to stop the Hardy Tribe.
00:48:54The System crashing this match!
00:48:57They are paying attention, laying weight to the competition.
00:49:00You guys think you're going to get out of Bound for Glory?
00:49:03You're going to face both the Hardys and ABC at Bound for Glory.
00:49:08A little older, a little slower, but still extreme.
00:49:12You can trust that ABC is going to kick your ass.
00:49:16It's going to be a full metal Mayhem match!
00:49:23Hello, world.
00:49:24Look at us.
00:49:25Look at this sight right here.
00:49:27We are standing here with living legends.
00:49:29We are living legends ourselves.
00:49:31Think about it, Ace.
00:49:33Your very first time stepping foot in a TNA ring,
00:49:36you were an itty-bitty ace.
00:49:38You were at a meet-and-greet with this guy right here.
00:49:40That's true.
00:49:41First time I ever stepped foot in a pro wrestling ring in my life,
00:49:442011, was to take a picture with Jeff Hardy.
00:49:46I'm not going to stand here and lie to you guys.
00:49:48I'm not going to stand here and lie.
00:49:50We don't count.
00:49:51My biggest inspiration as a kid was the Hardys.
00:49:53The Hardys made me want to be a pro wrestler.
00:49:56But I pride myself in the fact that when push comes to shove,
00:49:59when I have to stand across the ring from my heroes,
00:50:02you've got to turn that off, you know what I'm saying?
00:50:04You've got to get real.
00:50:05And that's exactly what we did last week
00:50:07when we were facing you guys.
00:50:09But another match ruined by the system.
00:50:11Dream match ruined by the system.
00:50:13Another match ruined by the system.
00:50:14But next week, we get to team ABC and the Hardys
00:50:17against the system.
00:50:18The system thinks they're going to walk away untested.
00:50:20No, no, no, no.
00:50:21Not at all.
00:50:22They're going to hurt the system.
00:50:25We've become big fans of you.
00:50:27I like you both professionally and personally.
00:50:29Stepping into the ring with you guys last week
00:50:31really gave us a new level of respect for the two of you.
00:50:37It's awesome.
00:50:38We've got to get ready for next week.
00:50:39We've got to be one well-oiled unit
00:50:41as we take down the system.
00:50:42And we get ready for Bound for Glory.
00:50:44But at Bound for Glory, we are going to be competitors.
00:50:47And may the best team win.
00:50:51This is going to be a very special match.
00:50:53I'm very happy and honored that you guys are in it
00:50:55because this is very well.
00:50:57We've been doing this a long time.
00:50:5933 years.
00:51:00And our bodies, this might be the last tables, ladders.
00:51:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:08Full metal mayhem.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10This may very well be the last full metal mayhem
00:51:13that we have left inside us.
00:51:15But it's very important to both of us.
00:51:17We came to TNA to prove a point.
00:51:19So many people, too many people say,
00:51:21Oh, the Hardy's, they were great.
00:51:22They were great.
00:51:23They were great using past tense.
00:51:25We're going to Bound for Glory.
00:51:27And we're on a mission to win the World Tag Team titles
00:51:30so that people can get their tense correct.
00:51:32Present tense.
00:51:33The Hardy's are great.
00:51:36And the Hardy's will be great
00:51:38as TNA World Tag Team Champions.
00:51:43The Hardy's are great.
00:51:44The Hardy's are great.
00:51:45This may be your last full metal mayhem.
00:51:48This will be our first.
00:51:51The Motor City Machine Guns,
00:51:52they didn't want to pass the torch,
00:51:53but we took the torch.
00:51:55And now, unfortunately,
00:51:57we're going to have to do it again.
00:52:00Hey, give it your all.
00:52:02We will.
00:52:03That I promise.
00:52:04Big respect.
00:52:05Until then, we team next week.
00:52:07Let's do it, man.
00:52:09You got it.
00:52:14Full metal mayhem awaits
00:52:16at Bound for Glory.
00:52:18But for this man,
00:52:19it's mayhem for all.
00:52:28Please welcome
00:52:29Steve Macklin.
00:52:32I can only imagine the mood
00:52:34that Steve Macklin is in tonight
00:52:35after what happened last week.
00:52:37The match between Josh Alexander
00:52:39and Eric Young interrupted
00:52:41by Williams and Icarus
00:52:43of the Northern Armory
00:52:45leading to Alexander getting the victory
00:52:48but we discovered
00:52:49Icarus and Williams
00:52:50had attacked Macklin backstage,
00:52:52zip-tied him,
00:52:53and left him down.
00:53:04Last week,
00:53:06last week EY was taken out
00:53:08and there was not a damn thing
00:53:10that I could have done about it
00:53:11because the Northern Armory
00:53:12got the best of me.
00:53:14So I have a lot of questions
00:53:16that need answers
00:53:17so I'm done out here talking.
00:53:18So Josh Alexander,
00:53:20get your ass out here.
00:53:30The walking weapon
00:53:31wasting no time
00:53:33in answering Steve Macklin here.
00:53:38And Alexander is not alone.
00:53:41Flanked by Travis Williams
00:53:43and Trudas Icarus.
00:53:45They are the Northern Armory.
00:53:53You got questions
00:53:54that need answers Steve?
00:53:56You want to demand I come out here?
00:53:58I don't know if I have the answers
00:53:59to the questions you want
00:54:00but I got,
00:54:01I got some questions for you.
00:54:04See I haven't forgotten Steve
00:54:06and I know
00:54:07these people here haven't either.
00:54:09You're one of the nastiest
00:54:10most self-serving scumbags
00:54:12this company has ever seen.
00:54:15And we're supposed to believe
00:54:19what?
00:54:20You talk to Eric Young
00:54:21and all of a sudden
00:54:22you're some kind of
00:54:23righteous hero
00:54:24all of a sudden, right?
00:54:26No, no.
00:54:27I ain't buying that BS
00:54:28and I know these people
00:54:29aren't either.
00:54:31Why the,
00:54:32what's the real reason
00:54:33for the change of heart Steve?
00:54:35Come on.
00:54:37Are we supposed to believe
00:54:39that you really want to cater
00:54:41to these idiot fans
00:54:43all of a sudden?
00:54:45See what I mean?
00:54:47No respect.
00:54:48No respect.
00:54:52It ain't worth it.
00:54:53Believe me,
00:54:54I lived it
00:54:55more than anybody else.
00:54:57There's more of my blood, sweat, and tears
00:54:59soaked into that canvas
00:55:01than anybody
00:55:02in this company's history.
00:55:04You know it.
00:55:05You know it.
00:55:08And what did it get me, huh?
00:55:10I'm the one
00:55:11who busted my ass
00:55:12night in,
00:55:13night out,
00:55:15had historic matches,
00:55:17matches these fans
00:55:18stood on their feet
00:55:19and chanted
00:55:20walking weapon
00:55:21at the top of their lungs
00:55:22matches
00:55:23people will never forget.
00:55:25I'm the one
00:55:26who put my body
00:55:27on the line
00:55:28got in that ring
00:55:29and killed it
00:55:30to elevate this company
00:55:32to keep the doors open
00:55:34so people who got fired
00:55:36like you would have a place
00:55:37to come and work.
00:55:41What did it get me?
00:55:42What did it,
00:55:43oh sure,
00:55:44sure, I am
00:55:45the longest reigning champion
00:55:47in this company's history.
00:55:49In the history books forever.
00:55:54The tippy top guy.
00:55:55The poster boy.
00:55:57The heart and soul
00:55:59of TNA.
00:56:00That's me.
00:56:05But Steve,
00:56:06like I said,
00:56:07it ain't worth it.
00:56:08Cause the second it all came crashing down
00:56:10these fans
00:56:11like this,
00:56:14they turned their back on me.
00:56:16So me,
00:56:17with all that success,
00:56:18with all that love
00:56:19from these people
00:56:20they turned their back on me.
00:56:21Why are they supposed to believe
00:56:23in a failure like you?
00:56:27Failure like me, huh?
00:56:28I don't know, Josh.
00:56:30I've been me since day one
00:56:32since I got here.
00:56:33That's up for them to decide.
00:56:36But if anybody believed in me,
00:56:37it's you.
00:56:38If anybody was gonna give a damn
00:56:40about me, it was you.
00:56:41Because you were the first person
00:56:43to lean that back
00:56:44in this very building, Josh
00:56:46that came to me
00:56:48and told me that I wasn't some outsider.
00:56:53That I wasn't some failure
00:56:54like you just said now.
00:56:56You said that I belonged.
00:56:58You said that I was homegrown.
00:57:10You said that I was homegrown
00:57:12that I was here in TNA
00:57:13that Steve Macklin
00:57:14was a TNA name.
00:57:18And at one point
00:57:19I thought you and I were alike.
00:57:21Very much so.
00:57:23Not like these two.
00:57:25I thought you and I could have been a team.
00:57:27But the more you show your true colors
00:57:29the more you keep being this,
00:57:31whatever this is of the Northern Armory
00:57:33you and I are nothing alike.
00:57:37Finally,
00:57:38something we can agree on, Steve.
00:57:41You're right. We're nothing alike.
00:57:43I said it.
00:57:44I'm the longest reigning champion
00:57:46in this company's history.
00:57:48One of the most decorated champions.
00:57:50And you're the guy that couldn't hold on
00:57:52to it for more than, what, a month?
00:57:56Alright, Josh.
00:57:58You know they say
00:58:00sometimes you gotta check your ego, right?
00:58:02Tonight's not one of those nights.
00:58:04Oh, and Macklin!
00:58:06The numbers be damned!
00:58:08What after Alexander, now Icarus!
00:58:10The numbers catching up to Macklin!
00:58:12They do not lie!
00:58:14Three on one in the German suplex
00:58:16dumping Macklin on his head!
00:58:18Icarus and Williams
00:58:20like a pair of jackals
00:58:22swarming Macklin
00:58:24and Alexander beating down
00:58:26Steve Macklin!
00:58:28There has to be a part of Macklin.
00:58:30Oh, and look at this.
00:58:32Just like last week
00:58:34the plan comes back into focus.
00:58:37That premeditated attack
00:58:39we saw last week
00:58:41the zip tie
00:58:43Icarus and Williams
00:58:45zip tying Macklin
00:58:47just like they did last week
00:58:49zip tied him backstage and beat him down.
00:58:51And if you're Macklin, you had to think
00:58:53that this was a possibility
00:58:55when you came out here to confront
00:58:57Josh Alexander.
00:58:59I'm being stupid!
00:59:01Stupid!
00:59:03Come on, Williams!
00:59:05Come on!
00:59:07What you got?
00:59:13That's a defiant to the bitter end here
00:59:15spitting in the face
00:59:17of the locking weapon!
00:59:29Oh, God, look at this.
00:59:31Macklin's defenseless
00:59:33save for Spike!
00:59:51A definite statement made
00:59:53by Josh Alexander
00:59:55and the Northern Armory.
01:00:01Come on!
01:00:11Well, which of these two men will make a statement
01:00:13before their Bound for Glory matchup?
01:00:15Nick Nemeth faces Matt Cardona.
01:00:17It's pick your poison in our main event.
01:00:19But coming up next
01:00:21before Mike Santana gets his hands on Moose
01:00:23at Bound for Glory
01:00:25he faces Brian Myers of The System.
01:00:27Next!
