Mike Bennett and "The Glamasaurus" Maria Kanellis cut a promo about how Moose needed to fall in line. Bobby Lashley came out and said Moose has had it with them both and has joined Lashley's side. Moose came out and said he is a Moose to himself, and that later tonight everyone would know where The Moose stands.


1 - Matt Hardy defeated Crazy Steve


ULTIMATE X Championship GAUNTLET Match:
DJ Z vs Trevor Lee vs Mandrews vs Rockstar Spud vs Andrew Everett vs Brandon Sutte

[slik]

DJ Z won the belt. Announcers said you won't catch cruiserweight action like this anywhere else on the planet!

[Simple Fan]

Watching college football but have Impact recording.

[slik]

A-Ron Rex (Damian Sandow) and Drew Galloway have to be restrained from one another. Announcer said it was like two dogs with rabies who were extra, extra rabid.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I just turned it on. Who are these guys?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh wow, that's EC3. And apparently Eli Drake. Is EC3 a face now?

[slik]

Ethan Carter III and Eli Drake. They aren't feuding to my knowledge, just a random match

[slik]

I can't tell if he's a face and I've watched Impact for about a month now, so probably, Yes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Eli Drake sure does say his name a lot.

[Anybody Thrilla]

EC3 definitely working as a face right now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm glad he still has the same theme. :y:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who is this Allie chick? Do you think she wants to fuck me?

[slik]

ECIII seems like a guy I am surprised WWE didn't do more this. He is good onthe mic and in the ring.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, are they making fun of Bayley?

[slik]

She won the belt last week but I guess her gimmick is she is not a wrestler, just Maria's assistant

[slik]

She might want ur D

[Anybody Thrilla]

This Matt Hardy stuff really is fucking awful.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I used to like DJ Z. This version seems weak, though.

[slik]

DJ Z cutting a promo about his girl problems, life problems and how if you believe you can achieve and he is now Global X Champion. Then he yelled "Brrrr-Brrr-Brrrr-Brrrrr" real loud.

[Anybody Thrilla]

ECIII seems like a guy I am surprised WWE didn't do more this. He is good onthe mic and in the ring.

Yeah, definitely seems like a wasted opportunity. He was money back when I was watching TNA regularly.

[Anybody Thrilla]

As awful as this is, I might set it to record weekly. More wrestling is good wrestling in my book. Also, Maria's butt. Wow.

[slik]

Maria hates the Demon Gail Kim.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maria is being super mean for what seems like no reason.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think Maria is trying to get Allie to scissor with her. I'll stick around for a second.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Pretty solid match there.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Moose is a really dumb name. Also, he looks like Bobby Lessley.

[slik]

Marie mounting her opponent for the win


https://ton.twitter.com/i/ton/data/dm/771521882264784899/771521882294067200/qjHuYNY8.jpg

[slik]

The Moose will let everyone know where The Moose stands before the end of the night and you damn well better not get in the way of The Moose when The Moose is ready to stand.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm going to DVR the rest of this and call my girlfriend. Hopefully I don't call her Maria on accident. Good luck, slik.

[slik]

thx

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, she didn't answer. I'm back. This sucks.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Do Maria and Mike Bennett just run this place now?

[slik]

They are the top heels in TNA, but Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan is the on-air authority figure

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Lashley a face now? I thought he was a heel last time I watched like a month ago.

[slik]

Announcers referring to Maria's hard fought battle earlier tonight for the Knockout's Belt

[slik]

He is both a face and heel I think. He cut a promo on Smashing Pumpkin last week.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really don't mind Lashley in the ring. Pretty good, really.

[slik]

Moose has brought a pipe to ringside because that is what Moose does. Moose is not afraid to use the pipe on anyone who gets in Moose's way. Moose is not fucking around tonight ladies and gentlemen.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Does Moose still do that fist pump thing on the way to the ring?

[slik]

I haven't noticed in the month I've watched.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Does he use the Northern Exposure theme for his entrance?

[slik]

Maria taking Lashley out with a Knockouts Title to the skull

[slik]

I have only seen him enter with the Mike Bennett guy and his theme so far

[Anybody Thrilla]

If it was a no DQ match, why wouldn't Bennett just bring the pipe himself in the first place? Very dumb guy, it seems.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did Bennett not realize that Moose is clearly Lashley's brother?

[slik]

Lashley defeats Mike Bennett via Bennett being distracted by Moose not giving him the pipe.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So that's a yes on the fist pump...and it turns out he's using the exact same theme from ROH. How does that happen?

[slik]

Was his name still Moose in ROH?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yes.

[slik]

Crazy Hardy segment teased for next week...should be 'not boring' and 'pretty weird'

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well, from what I saw tonight, TNA is super fucking shitty.

I'll probably watch next week.

[Rollermacka]

OK. here is what I (and wepww) missed!

God, every week I watch Broken Matt and it's SOO bad.... but I love every second of it. Was it just me.... or has Broken Matt Hardy become a face? Like he's pretty much single handedly gotten more people talking about TNA than they have in years, and now he's getting over as a face?

yeah who are the faces decay or the broken hardys and when does maxal sign his nxt contract and wrestle for the wwe?

Ironically enough, I found out that Maxel and I have the same birthday.... now taken I'm 27 years older than him but we were both born on the same day.

[Simple Fan]

Pretty sure Broken Matt has become the face now. Actually Decay came around at about the right time as TNAs tag division was literally decaying with injuries. People are eating the Broken Matt Hardy character up so going face is smart but probably more of a tweener depending on who he's working with.

I think Decay was a really good move, I'm a big Abyss fan and I'm glad to still see him pushed in TNA. I don't like that they've had Rosemary wear less make up (and in the flashbacks no make up), and the corsets showing more cleavage and mid thigh dresses.... It "humanized her" too much for me, and I don't think that was necessary at this point for her in TNA.

[Rollermacka]

I do like that they have more actual tag teams in TNA again, the Helms Dynasty, The Tribunal and Bromans as opposed to just two singles guys who are thrown together. I personally, would like maybe two more teams added to the roster. One more heel team and a "formulaic" face tag team (where there's a smaller guy whose charismatic and takes the heat, then a massive "beat stick" to get the hot tag and run wild, smashing people)
