In memory of Ole Anderson, 1942 - 2024. In memory of Mike "Virgil" Jones, 1951 - 2024.

Steve Maclin beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey. After the match, Maclin says that this is what he does best and that he continues to stack body after body, and that is why he took out "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth. He says that Nemeth is nowhere to be found and is going to suck the life out of TNA before making opportunity elsewhere. Suddenly, Nic Nemeth shows up on the video screen and says he is in New Japan as the new Global Champion, and that he cannot wait to come back and face him at Sacrifice.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Frankie Kazarian finds out from Gia Miler that he has been suspended for his actions at No Surrender. Frankie tells Gia to ask Santino Marella if he thinks this is the right thing to do.

Jake Something beats Laredo Kid.

It's time for The Sound Check. A late Alan Angels' guest backstage is Kon. Angels says he has bought the best security nobody can buy and that he is proud of what Kon is doing right now. Kon says he does not anyone leading him anywhere and that he goes where he wants, then says that he is the baddest man in TNA and that after No Surrender, PCO may still be dead. Suddenly, the lights go out, and everything is black and white when PCO shoves Angels out of the way and confronts Kon.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry states that tonight is the TNA Wrestling in-ring debut of AJ Francis, and while the two of them have not always gotten along, tonight he sympathizes as everyone is watching Francis and the pressure is running high. He says the last thing AJ Francis wants to do is flop, and therefore he wants to give Francis a warm welcome, which means nobody should chant "AJ sucks." The people chant it anyway, then Hendry apologizes and says the fans also love to chant "We Believe."

Joe Hendry and Rich Swann beat Cody Deaner and AJ Francis.

We hear from Decay (Rosemary and Havok). Rosemary says they had the element of surprise at Hard To Kill, but those powers can be so fleeting. Havok says patience is a virtue that not everyone possesses, and that they are not patient. They say they have come to a city like New Orleans where the streets are filled with darkness and spirits are invited for dinner, and Rosemary makes it clear that she and Havok want the Knockouts tag team titles again.

It is announced that Alex Hammerstone has been signed to TNA Wrestling and that he will face "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander again at Sacrifice.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. As he talks about his match with Alex Hammerstone at Sacrifice, Dirty Dango, Oleg Prudius and Alpha Bravo show up to plug Dango's wrestling school. Alexander takes this as a challenge and leaves to set up a match for next week.

The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) are in the ring. John Skyler says Mustafa Ali brought the change that the X Division, TNA and the fans needed, calls Louisiana "Mississippi," then introduces Mustafa Ali to the ring. Mustafa announces that change has come to the X Division and that it all happened because the fans believed that "In Ali, we trust." He declares that as new X Division Champion, he will declare his first executive order. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin demands that Mustafa leave the podium and face him like a man, then says that while they are both different, they both believe in change. Sabin says change is about selflessness, self-betterment, and accomplishing goals by believing in one's self. Mustafa then says it is all about him and that he has other people make change while he takes the credit for himself, and says that if The Good Hands were not at Mustafa's side, he would still be champion. Mustafa calls this "a slanderous accusation" and that The Good Hands are here because they support the campaign, and that there was not one soul in the building who supported him at No Surrender. Sabin says he is no politician and is not here to debate, and that he is only here to fight. He punches Mustafa in the face, and as The Good Hands hold Sabin down, KUSHIDA and Kevin Knight show up to even the numbers. The Good Hands get a beatdown as Mustafa Ali escapes with the help of his own security detail.

George Iceman introduces Ash By Elegance. Ash announces that next week, she will be having her second match in TNA Wrestling.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali is furious with The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) for letting Chris Sabin, KUSHIDA and Kevin Knight through and ruin everything. He says actions have consequences, then everyone leaves.

Tasha Steelz vs. Xia Brookside for a shot at the Knockouts World Championship ends in a double count-out. After the match, Jordynne Grace shows up and says she has been watching from backstage and has seen enough. She says that both of them want a title shot and that they will both get it at Sacrifice.

Backstage, we hear from Rhino, who wants Crazzy Steve in a no-disqualification match so Steve can hit him with whatever he wants while he will hit Steve with a Gore.

George The Iceman (George The Iceman) interviews Impact Provincial Wrestling Federation Commonwealth Television Champion DJ 2Large (Moose) on the stage. DJ 2Large says he feels good after beating Badlands Bart (Larry D) for the gold, as he now has some gold to match all the other gold he is wearing. He says Bart had tricks up his sleeves, but nothing he had not seen before, and now, he is champion. He then states that he is welcome all challengers and he is ready to knock them all down. Iceman then mentions The $361,000 Man (R.D. Evans, formerly known as "The $309,000 Man") wanting his title, but DJ 2Large does not care how much he is worth, he will wrap his big hands around his scrawny neck and squeeze the soul out of him. The $361,000 Man soon shows up and says that "everyone has a dollar amount" and that he is now worth $369,000 and is now "The $369,000 Man." He then asks how much money it will take to buy the television title from him. The $369,000 Man thinks Moose is trying to drive a hard bargain, and offers to exchange the television title for "a life-changing $10,000," which he says will be the best deal of his life. Moose answers with a rap, and tells The $369,000 Man "no." The $369,000 Man says he has never taken no for an answer, then says that he will take the title with the help of his newest acquisition: The Masked Brother (Frankie Kazarian), who attacks DJ 2Large from behind. This starts a brawl that referees have to break up, and DJ 2Large asks if the crowd wants to see him face The Masked Brothers tonight, which the crowd makes clear that they want.

We hear from Walter Chestnut (David Penzer) and Neptune (Shera). Chestnut says his girlfriend left him and his wife left him, then he lost his wrestling promotion at Rival Survival due to Giuseppe Scovelli, Sr. He says that he and Neptune are here to terrorize the IPWF by getting a job and making a living, and tonight, Neptune will go one-on-one with Frank The Butcher (Rhino), a wrestler of Scovelli Sr.'s choosing, with their jobs on the line. We hear from Giuseppe Scovelli Sr. and Frank The Butcher. Scovelli says Chestnut will walk out with a job, but Frank asks which job it will be when he makes mincemeat out of Neptune.

We see footage from last week of Red Letter (Jody Threat) beating Ladybird Johnson (Jessicka/Havok) with an inside cradle. George The Iceman then interviews Red Letter, who says that this is just the beginning and that she will deliver rain or shine, and says they might as well call her "Rapid Delivery Red Letter." Rapid Delivery Pete shows up and takes offense to this, then leaves.

Frank The Butcher (Rhino) beats Neptune (Shera). After the match, Giuseppe Scovelli, Sr. makes Walter Chestnut and Neptune janitors.

The Hard Workers - "Hard" Harry Hall (Jake Something) and "Ornery" Otis Oates (Deaner), formerly known as "Hall and Oates" - are next!

The Sunday Morning Express (Editor-In-Chief and The Paper Boy [Chris Sabin and Jack Price]) beat The Hard Workers ["Hard" Harry Hall (Jake Something) and "Ornery" Otis Oates (Deaner)] after The Paper Boy hits Harry Hall with a cheap shot from the outside with a loaded newspaper.

Backstage, Rip Rayzor ("Inevitable" Ace Austin) and Rusty Iron (Gia Miller) make fun of Tommy Dreamer (Tommy Dreamer) for not smoking.

Backstage, Tommy Dreamer talks with Red Letter after pooping in Rip Rayzor's bag after Razyor's treatment backstage. He then finds out that the bag really belongs to Brian "Bone" Crunchin (Brian Myers), who then vomits while Dick Waters (Sheldon Jean) somehow walks in on the situation and gets spewed on himself. Walter Chestnut and Neptune have to clean up the vomit.

"Cowboy" Colt McCoy (Eddie Edwards) and "Rough Rider" Georgia Cobb (Jordynne Grace) beat Rip Rayzor ("Inevitable" Ace Austin) and Rusty Iron (Gia Miller) after Rip Rayzor threatens the referee with a knife and Georgia Cobb slaps Rayzor in the face.

Before the match, The Masked Brother is caught with two foreign objects, and shortly afterwards, The $369,000 Man (R.D. Evans) is ejected from ringside after being caught putting The Masked Brother's foot on the tope to break a pinfall. Near the end, The Masked Brother hits the ref with a knee in the corner after 2Large nearly runs into the ref thanks to him, and that allows The $369,000 Man to return and brings out two masked henchmen named Bump and Feed (Aiden Prince and Tyler Tirva) - as Walter Chestnut (David Penzer) and Neptune (Shera) clean up around The Masked Brother - to distract 2Large before The Masked Brother hits 2Large with a cellphone.

George The Iceman interviews Tim Burr on the stage. Tim Burr says that Fall Maul tournament has gotten out of hand following the passing of Muscles McGhee ("The Machine" Brian Cage) after Boris Alexiev killed him, and that he would be lying if he said he were not scared, and while Boris Alexiev is his biggest obstacle, he has chopped his past obstacles down. He says he will not let Alexiev take over without a fight, and that Alexiev will be the only one who will be laying down when all is said and done.

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for August 24, 2023

Champagne Singh beats Russ Jones after raking Jones' eyes. After the match, Champagne Singh says that the last time he was in Chicago, Illinois, the fans were unappreciative when he was named #1 contender to the IMPACT World Championship and he was booed out of the building. He then says he and Singh are the best wrestlers Chicago has ever seen before PCO suddenly shows up.

The main show starts with PCO stepping into the ring with Shera and Champagne Singh. Shera gets clotheslined and sent running, and Singh meets the same fate before PCO takes them out with a somersault senton to the outside between the ropes. PCO soon takes out members of security and places Singh on a table before putting him through it with the Deanimator. Suddenly, Bully Ray shows up on the video screen and states that he, not Singh, is the one PCO wants to put through a table. Bully Ray then states that he will not leave his hotel room due to IMPACT not being able to guarantee his safety. He says that PCO will not be able to find him, but he will find him, and that he will prove that he is the only one who can take out Perfect Creation One. PCO then runs to the back.

Josh says it took five long months with his own thoughts, nerves and doubts to get back to Impact, but everything went away in an instant at Multiverse United 2, for he was back where he belongs. He has the Impact World Championship on his mind, and after Emergence, he will keep an eye on the title to see who he will challenge next.

Deaner beats Laredo Kid after Laredo Kid takes out Kon on the outside before rolling back into the ring and rolling right into the Antidote. After the match, Deaner calls out Eric Young, telling him that when the story began, Eric Young was the author and the designer and he created him in his own image, yet it got him lying on a floor with a knife in his heart and left for dead. He then says that Eric Young decided to rise again and finish his story, but in this story, he is no longer the author and that he, not Eric Young, is the author and the designer and in control, and that he is the design. Deaner then dictates that only he choose how this story ends, and states that the story will end at Emergence in a no-disqualification match.

We see a very weird and very 1990s video package for Johnny Swinger prior to his Digital Media Championship match with Kenny King.

Backstage, Gia Miller tries to interview PCO as he looks for Bully Ray.

Before the next match, Jason Hotch tells ABC that they were not paid off by The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz), calling it as much of a lie as Chicago, Illinois being clean or safe, and states there is a reason Michael Jordan never came back to Chicago after he retired.

ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and "Dashing" Chris Bey) beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).

We hear from Subculture (Mark Andrews, "Flash" Morgan Webster, Dani Luna). Webster says they have defending the IMPACT tag tiles left, right and center and look forward to defending at Emergence.

Chris Sabin beats Samuray del Sol.

We see more of Tom Hannifan's interview with Crazzy Steve. Crazzy Steve says that Tom is "the voice of Impact Wrestling" and that his voice has been taken along with his sight, and that he is tried of being abandoned, forgotten and on the receiving end of evil, and if he cannot be the antidote to evil, then perhaps that he needs to be the plague. He says mankind's greatest casualty is the casual blindness for the misfortunate of others, but he finds this blindness to be quite deliberate. As he continues to grasp Tom Hannifan's hands firmly, security moves in only for Crazy Steve to fend them off and spit green mist into one member's face, and demands Tom and everyone tells everyone else that he is comfortable with violence.

We hear from MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly). Killer Kelly says that the numbers are against them, and that their first title against is defense three teams as she translates for Masha Slamovich. She says they are not scared and that it means more toys to play with, which means more control and pain, and that Emergence will be their next experiment.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to Eddie Edwards vs. Frankie Kazarian in a "Back To School" Match.

PCO makes it to the hotel room where Bully Ray is staying.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 23, 2022

Black Taurus beats Andrew Everett in the BTI match.

Honor No More show up at the start of the show, and Mike Bennett commandeers a camera. Eddie Edwards apologizes for interrupting the regularly scheduled program and Impact Wrestling's "never ending celebration" even after Slammiversary is over. Eddie says everyone cannot get enough of TNA and the nostalgia, and says TNA left Nashville, Tennessee in order to achieve something bigger and better than they could get over there, and he calls Honor No More the one thing that should be cheered and applauded. He then says that the ones doing the most celebration are not, then goes on to say the TNA Originals did not win and that Honor No More did not lose before saying "At least one of us lost...PCO." Vincent says he did not bring PCO back to life not for Impact Wrestling, but for Honor No More, then brings up Traci Brooks attack Maria Kanellis-Bennett from behind. He also mentions D'Lo Brown trying to save the day and the "artificial referee" Earl Hebner making the pinfall count, then mentions Scott D'Amore was on commentary the whole time and it was as if Impact planned this all along. Matt Taven says Impact Wrestling was mediocre until Honor No More showed up and the only reason Impact is trending, then says that they are putting money in Scott D'Amore's pocket. He also says Ring of Honor would have closed in 2019 if it were not for him. He then says that he was blamed for all of Ring of Honor's problems, then says that he did not kill Ring of Honor and that he saved Impact. Suddenly, American's Most Wanted ("The Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris) shows up. James Storm re-introduces himself and Chris Harris and says they grew up in a time where one had to fight to the top and earn the respect of their peers, and says that he and Harris have done this for the last twenty-five years. He then says that if Honor No More were good, they would have taken that loss, learned from it and came back, then tells Honor No More that they suck. Kenny King asks what year it is again and that James Storm is blowing smoke, and that there is nothing worse than a drunk cowboy and a weak pussycat, but Chris Harris threatens to make him cry harder than he did on The Bachelorette. Harris says he and Storm may be a little bit broken down, but they are proud of what they have accomplished in the last twenty years as well as in TNA, and says that he and Storm came in together and will go out together. He then says that he and Storm made a couple of friends at Slammiversary in the form of The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), who show up. The four of them get in the ring and brawl with Honor No More. As Matt Taven and Mike Bennett confront Chris Harris, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) show up and even the numbers game, and Vincent becomes the recipient of a Magic Killer as Honor No More retreats.

Backstage, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw meets with Alisha Edwards and hands her a cupcake, then says she wants nothing to do with Masha Slamovich and that neither of them are a team and that Alisha should team up with Lady Frost instead. After Alisha says she might as well team up with Lady Frost, Gisele says she is destined for tag team greatness but needs to find the right partner, then walks off to do just that.

Backstage, Honor No More confront Scott D'Amore, who tells Honor No More that they bit off more than they could chew as Maria says Impact's win was a fluke. He then puts Honor No More in a ten-man tag match against The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and "The Cowboy" James Storm at Against All Odds, then puts Taven, Bennett and Eddie in a six man-tag match against The Briscoes and James Storm tonight.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne). Madison Rayne mentions that her nose is fractured after they collided, then Gisele Shaw shows up wanting to join them, saying she was on the wrong team and that the right team might be in front of her. Tennille is hesitant, but Madison says that if Gisele were able to take out Rosemary or Taya, they would consider her a part of The Influence. Gisele says "Consider it done."

Bhupinder Gujjar and Shark Boy beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. After the match, Deaner and Joe Doering attack both teams, and Deaner and Joe Doering gang up on Gujjar in particular before Deaner says that they are not going anywhere until "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander enters the ring. After the commercial break, Josh Alexander shows up and heads to the ring, then tells Deaner to start talking. Deaner says it is not what he has to say as much as it is that Alexander feels, and asks Alexander how it feels from his demise in Joe Doering. Deaner mentions that Doering has never been pinned in an Impact ring and will be challenging him for the Impact World Championship at Against All Odds, then says the feeling of fear is going down into Alexander's stomach. He tells Alexander to embrace the fear and the fact that the last time he faced Doering, he lost, and that he could not beat him once and cannot beat him again before Doering brings the title back to "the family of Violent By Design." (Eric Young, Deaner, Joe Doering) Alexander says the family is thinning out without Eric Young around, then Doering is wanting to take something he has worked too hard to get back, then says nobody has heard from Young since Slammiversary and that the same thing could happen to Doering. Doering and Deaner gang up on Alexander, then security runs into the ring only to be tossed out of the ring before Alexander fends Doering and Deaner off. Deaner has to hold Doering back and tell him to head to the back alongside the referees, then Alexander and Deaner have their match tonight early.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Deaner with an ankle lock.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian says giving Honor No More the beating they deserved felt great, but when he came back to Impact, it was to answer a challenge twenty years in the making. Next week, he gets to settle his rivalry with Chris Sabin and prove once and for all that he is the future.

In backstage footage from Slammiversary, Jordynne Grace thanks her opponents from the Queen of the Mountain Match, saying she would not be where she is without them and that they will have to work harder than her to take the Knockouts title. We then hear from Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans. Tasha says Jordynne should not thank her just yet, as she is going to take the Knockouts title back from her at Against All Odds, assuming Jordynne can get past Savannah.

Sami Callihan quickly beats Jack Price. After the match, Moose gets in the ring and hits Callihan with a Spear, then hits him repeatedly with a chair before slamming him through a table.

Cardona says he actually did not want to fight him and that he cames to Impact for himself, and asked Scott D'Amore to give him a match tonight with someone he can tear the house down with. He says it is him and Jake Something one-on-one tonight, and that while Jake Something is looking for a big break, it will not be at his expense, for he is always ready.

We see a vignette where a woman writes "Let's Get Wilde" on a bathroom mirror, followed by the message "Coming Soon April 2021."

He tells Deaner that he failed last week, and with failure comes consequences, as failure causes the dise.
