Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 8, 2018

We see footage of Ethan Carter III knocking a cup of someone's hand as he enters the buidling, as well as Moose, Alberto El Patron and Johnny Impact entering the building.

Sonjay Dutt guests on commentary for tonight.

Taiji Ishimori and "Reborn" Matt Sydal beat El Hijo del Fantasma and Rohit Raju (formerly Hakim Zane). Both team show respect after the match.

We see footage from last week where Austin Aries speaks to the press. He says it feels great to be back in Impact and that he is as shocked as everyone else that he is Impact Global Championship, and he had the opportunity and took it. He did not expect to win a title on the first night, and he has yet to sign a contract with Impact and is still a free agent. When asked what will happen if he loses the title on a non-Impact show, he says that he will have to make sure that does not happen. All of a sudden Eli Drake and Chris Adonis try to confront Austin Aries but are stopped by security. Eli Drake wants the title shot, but Austin Aries tells him that if he wants a rematch, he will give him time to prepare so there can be no excuses.

Austin Aries will defend the Impact Global Championship - now the Impact World Championship - next week.

The GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is Austin Aries beating Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to become a world champion in Impact for the first time and bring Bobby Roode's record-setting run to an end after 256 days.

Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley - now officially known as The Cult of Lee - beat T.E.C.H. (TC Reed and Mike Monroe). After the match, The Latin-American Xchange show up on the TitanTron. Konnan tells The Cult of Lee that they may be mocking them, but they are only wanna-bes, trying-to-bes and never-will-bes. Konnan tells them to get acquainted to failure, saying it is a great teacher as it tells you what not to do next time. He then tells The Cult of Lee not to mess with LAX, and that they are coming for them.

Backstage, Allie meets Kiera Hogan, congratulates her on last week, and tells her that she will be backstage watching her back if anything happens. All of a sudden, Allie gets a large postcard with a message telling her to meet them in the Impact Zone next week, the day after Valentine's Day. It is signed "Your secret admirer."

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Moose. Moose says he played for Syracuse University and the NFL, and not once did he get a shot at a national championship or a Super Bowl. In the two years he has been in Impact, he has yet to wrestle for the Impact World Championship. It doesn't matter who he has to face for it, as he will become #1 contender tonight.

Laurel Van Ness retains the Impact Knockouts Championship against Kiera Hogan, then continues to attack Hogan after the match and pushes the referee back. Allie runs into the ring and fights off Laurel Van Ness, who retreats when Allie tries to strike her with the Knockouts Championship.

We see camera footage from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) where somebody is watched from around a corner.

Brian Cage is coming to Impact...

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Ethan Carter III. EC3 says there is a lot of speculation and controversy about where he stands, but says he is the best guy here, there and anywhere, and if anyone thinks he will not fulfill his destiny of becoming a three-time World Champion, they are fools. He will hunt Moose, he will drink Alberto El Patron's shot, and Johnny Impact is an impact in name only, as he is the real impact player and he is EC3.

The Pluto TV Rewind of the Week is "Wildcat" Chris Harris hitting a leg drop off the top of a cage.

We hear from Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong. Jacobs says he is a good guy, not a bad guy, and he nicely asked Joseph Park to bring Abyss to the Impact Zone this week, and yet there is no Abyss. He does not like repeating himself, and if this is how Joseph Park wants to do it, then if Park will not bring the monster, then he and Kongo Kong will drag the monster out of him.

We hear from "Reborn" Matt Sydal and Taiji Ishimori backstage. Sydal says that if there is one thing his spiritual adviser has helped him, it is to harness the power of another champion, absorb what they put out, and put it in your heart and soul. Sydal says that Ishimori has the heart and soul of a champion, and next week, he will defend the X Division title against El Hijo del Fantasma. He wishes Ishimori the best of luck, then says he can feel and absorb every ounce of what goes on in Impact Wrestling.

We see camera footage of oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) stalking somebody in front of their car. That person gets beaten up and by oVe and thrown into the trunk of their car, then Sami Calliahn says "Thumbs up...thumbs down." After the break, it is announced that the person that was being stalked by oVe was Lashley.

Hania the Huntress beats Amber Nova. After the match, Rosemary comes out of the crowd and attacks Hania from behind. Hania manages to escape Red Wedding and get out of the ring.

Johnny Impact beats Ethan Carter III, Alberto El Patron and Moose in a four-way dance to become #1 contender for the Impact World Championship after reversing a One Percenter into a roll-up with a bridge.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 1, 2018

We see footage of an unknown person entering the Impact Zone.

For the first time since the Manhattan Center shows in midtown Manhattan, New York from 2015, the ring is now four-sided again.

Before the next match, we hear from "Reborn" Matt Sydal, who says that everything has been falling into place ever since he won the Impact Grand Championship. He says he has a special spiritual advisor showing him the path, telling him that the universe will conspire in his favor when he sets out to do what he is born to do. This is why there is no longer judges deciding who wins the belt, and why it is all up to him whether or not he keeps the title.

"Reborn" Matt Sydal retains the Impact Grand Championship against Fallah Bahh. (From here on out, matches for the Impact Grand Championship have no rounds and no judges, and are now just regular wrestling matches.)

Caleb Konley talks with Trevor Lee backstage. Trevor says he may not have the X Division title, but he is best known for good hair, a rock hard body and being five steps ahead of everyone else. He may not have the championship anymore, but he has a lot in store for the two of them.

Lashley beats KM.

Joseph Park is on the phone with Grandma Jenny when Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong shows up. Jacobs says what happened with Chandler Park did not need to go as far as it did, but he will go that far again until he gets a match between Kongo Kong and Abyss next week. Joseph Park insists that Abyss will never come back, but Jimmy Jacobs says he is a princess and that he always gets what he wants.

The Pluto TV Rewind of the week is Abyss drowning Christian Cage in a pool as Father James Mitchell tells Abyss to stop.

Lashley says for months, he has been figuring out what to do between wrestling and mixed martial arts, and says he will still focus on both and do whatever he wants. He then runs into Eddie Edwards before leaving.

Kiera Hogan beats Laurel Van Ness in her Impact debut. During the match, Allie shows up an distracts Laurel Van Ness, allowing Kiera Hogan to beat Van Ness in a non-title match with a backslide pin.

The mystery person is seen making his way into the Impact Zone.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Alberto El Patron and Ethan Carter III. El Patron says that he is making Impact something important and that he is the real champion. He says he does not have to prepare for anything, as he is going against Johnny Impact and Moose tonight. Ethan Carter III says the main event goes through him because he is a Carter and the company needs him. He says El Patron may be a former world champion with a famous last name, but no last name supersedes his. He tells El Patron to follow his lead so they can make their way to another world title, but El Patron tells EC3 to follow his. After an argument over who leaves first, EC3 and El Patron shake hands, then EC3 leaves first.

The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz, Homicide) appear for the first time since Barbed Wire Massacre III. Konnan celebrates LAX's victory in Barbed Wire Massacre III and tells Sami Callahan that if he wants peace, he had better prepare for war as LAX is always ready for a fight. oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) - also making their first appearance since Barbed Wire Massacre III, also show up, and Callihan tells LAX they hate them as well as the fans because they hate everything, then says he would be lying if he didn't say that oVe respected them, as they have done it all. He then goes on to say that if their feud does not come to an end, someone will end up six feet under. He tells LAX they are taking back the tag team titles back before they take over everything. oVe then leaves, but as they do, Konnan says they rule over nothing and that LAX is the whole fish. Suddenly, Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley are seen coming out of the crowd and attacking Santana and Ortiz from behind with a Kendo stick and a metal pipe. They escape with the Puerto Rican before Konnan and Homicide get in the ring with a steel chair.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Moose and Johnny Impact. Moose says this is a new year and a new ring, but the same company, and that he and Johnny Impact are an all-star team. Johnny Impact says you can say a lot about Alberto El Patron and Ethan Carter III, but they are all-stars as they can go. He also has a special message for Alberto El Patron: tonight, they will take El Patron and EC3 to Slamtown.

The GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is Drew McIntyre vs. Ethan Carter III in an unsanctioned match.

Backstage, Eli Drake and Chris Adonis talk with each other. Eli Drake says he does not like surprises, but he wants to know who the special guest they have for The Facts of Life will be. Chris Adonis says this installment will be a look back at Eli's life called "The Facts Of Eli Drake's Life" and a celebration of Eli Drake retaining the Impact Global Championship. Eli Drake cannot wait to start the proceedings.

"The Machine" Brian Cage is coming to Impact!

Moose and Johnny Impact beat Alberto El Patron and Ethan Carter III. During the match, it is announced that the mystery person will be in the ring for "The Faces Of Eli Drake's Life," and that Kiera Hogan will get a Knockouts title shot next week against Laurel Van Ness.

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis show up for "The Facts Of Eli Drake's Life." The two of them celebrate Eli Drake's life with various video packages of Eli Drake's time as Impact Global Champion with Adonis calling Eli Drake the greatest champion, dresser and friend that ever lived. The third video is Chris Adonis wearing the turkey suit from last Thanksgiving, which irritates Adonis. Eli Drake tells Adonis that the cherry pie was delicious and that Adonis was the best-dressed man that night. Eli Drake then says he is the greatest champion, the best-dressed man, the best friend and the greatest man that ever lived, which means nobody can touch him. The last part proves deadly to Eli Drake, as Austin Aries makes a surprise return to Impact Wrestling for the first time since 2015. The crowd welcomes Aries back with a passion as he says "I missed you guys, too," before saying he could not help but hear Eli Drake call himself the greatest man that ever lived. He says that is impossible, because he is the greatest man that ever lived, not Eli Drake. He tells Eli and Adonis he has some facts for him: he is a six-time and longest reigning X Division Champion, a world tag team champion and a former Global Champion, all in this company, and while Eli Drake has been getting his clothes from the thrift store, he has gone all over the world. He then says they have never went face-to-face in the ring, and before Eli Drake can call himself the greatest man that ever live, he has to beat him first, and all Eli Drake has to do is name the time and place for the match. Eli Drake takes off his coat and scarf and tells Austin Aries he is the former champion while he is the one that matters, and says the best work he has done since leaving is at the commentary table. Eli Drake says he cannot stop being Eli Drake and being the champion, and if Aries wants to make the challenge right here and now, then...no. As Eli is about to leave, Austin Aries says Eli Drake "doesn't have a set of balls between his legs." Adonis suddenly attacks Aries from behind with the Global Championship, then Eli Drake calls for a referee. He pins Aries, but Aries kicks out at two, and Eli Drake argues with the referee. Aries fights back and knocks Adonis off the apron with a discus forearm before hitting Eli Drake with the brainbuster for thw win and to become the new Impact Global Champion in an impromptu match to end the show.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 11, 2018

Lashley and Dan Lambert show up to start tonight's show. Lambert asks the crowd if he can ask a simple question, which leads to the crowd yelling "No!" He asks if they are getting a little sick and tired of them coming out week after week and gloating about how they are punkking professional wrestling. He says it is not getting old for him at all and that he is having the time of his life. He gives credit where credit is due, and says Impact is far more resilient than he thought, and that they remind him of the cockroaches in his house: no matter how many times he calls the exterminator, they won't go away. He asks the Ottawa, Canada crowd if they have roaches, and says even roaches have standards when it comes to where they are willing to live. He is here for two reasons: to have a moment of silence in honor of the dearly departed "The Cowboy" James Storm, who built Impact and had been here since day one, and became the face of the company. He then says that Storm is now unemployed. Since the crowd is so concerned about him, they should start a collection on their way out and get him a little beer money. He is also here to introduce the newest member of American Top Team, whom he was initially skeptical of and underestimated until he proved he could do the impossible and put down James Storm: KM. KM shows up and says that he has done a hell of a job proving himself to American Top Team, and that he has taken out every single person in front of him. He also helped Lambert retire James Storm and single-handedly took down Moose. Right after he brags about taking down Moose, Moose shows up and brawls with KM. Lashley gets on top of Moose and punches him repeatedly, then he and KM take the boots to Moose until Eddie Edwards shows up and fights them both off. Moose then hits Lashley and KM with a double clothesline, then he and Eddie confront Lambert. Lashley helps Lambert out of the ring.

Ethan Carter III shows up. He still stands as the grandest champion that Impact Wrestling has, and nobody is better than him, especially not Matt Sydal, whom he says choked every time he fought for a championship. He says Sydal is not better than him because he lacks a certain intangible and a killer instinct, then says he is so good at choking that he might as well be playing forward for the Ottawa Senators. He then asks the crowd if they want to see him get beaten up, then he asks for a referee to come to the ring, and one shows up. He then issues an open challenge, which is answered by Petey Williams.

Ethan Carter III beat Petey Williams by disqualification after Matt Sydal climbs out from the crowd and attacks EC3 from behind.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Allie, who says that is Laurel Van Ness thinks she is small and weak, then things are changing. If Laurel wants to play, they'll play.

We see footage of Eli Drake and Chris Adonis entering the building. We then see Alberto El Patron trashing a backstage area.

Matt Sydal says that Ethan Carter III called him out, and he arrived. He showed EC3 that he cannot call him out without repercussions, and challenges him for the Impact Grand Championship in a 60-minute match with no rounds and no judges. He says that if EC3 thinks he does not have a certain intangible, he is mistaken, as he is the man the people keep the cameras and the spotlight on right now as well as a catalyst for change. He tells EC3 to prove he is the wrestler he claims to be by accepting the challenge.

The Global Wrestling Network Match of the Week is "The Cowboy" James Storm beating Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Laurel Van Ness beats KC Spinelli. After the match, Allie rushes into the ring and fights Van Ness. Van Ness rolls out of the ring and runs away.

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis show up for Eli Drake's championship address. Adonis tells everyone to sit down, shut their mouths and show respect for him and Eli Drake. He asks how the people can stand living in Ottawa, Canada when it is cold year round, and calls them all dummies. He brags about still being Impact Wrestling Global Champion, then says Alberto El Patron thought he could swim with the big fish. He tells El Patron to go back to the kiddie pool, that he has no namesake to the title and that he should stay at the bar. Meanwhile, he is winning titles that El Patron thinks he deserves, and says all El Patron can do is try to take the Global title away from him. He says that he has crushed everyone who has been put in front of him, and next week, he will defend the title one more time in Detroit, Michigan. Suddenly, El Patron shows up and tells Eli Drake to shut his mouth, and says there is something going wrong as there is "a loser a little kid pretending to be the champion" walking around pretending to be a big deal. He tells Eli Drake he does not have the cajones to go toe-to-toe against him. He may not be booked in Detroit, but he will book himself just to kick him all over the place twenty different ways. He then asks why they should wait when they can go at it right now, since they have everything they need for the match. Johnny Impact shows up, says that everyone is having a party in Detroit, then says he likes parties and that he will see everyone in Detroit. He then tells El Patron that a bunch of stupid nonsense every time he opens his mouth, but he has just said something that makes a lot of sense: why wait for Detroit? El Patron rushes up to Johnny Impact and fights him, then the two of them et attacked by Eli Drake and Chris Adonis. Johnny Impact takes everyone out before referees and officials show up to restore order.

The Pluto TV Rewind of the Week is James Mitchell shaving Raven's head.

Backstage, Dan Lambert brags about KM ridding Impact Wrestling of "The Cowboy" James Storm last week.

We see Chandler Park talking with Joseph Park after getting his first win in a wrestling match. Joseph Park is about to tell him how dangerous wrestling is when Jimmy Jacobs shows up. He says he knew Joseph Park back when he used to be Abyss, and says that Joseph Park just chases ambulances now. Joseph tells Jimmy that Abyss is never coming back, and Jimmy says that if Abyss did come back, he would find out that there is only one monster in Impact Wrestling, and that monster is Kongo Kong. Chandler Park confronts Jimmy Jacobs only to come face-to-face with Kongo Kong, who intimidates Chandler before walking away.

oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callahan) are seen in The Latin-American Xchange's clubhouse, trashing the place and stealing their money.

The Latin-American Xchange find out that their clubhouse is trashed and their money is gone. Konnan says it is time to go back to their roots and become ambassadors of violence, and replace the ropes with barbed wire.

Sonjay Dutt, Garza Jr. and Dezmond Xavier beat Trevor Lee, Caleb Konley and Hakim Zane. After the match, Taiji Ishimori shows up. Sonjay Dutt and Gara Jr. leave the ring, and Taiji Ishimori and Dezmond Xavier stare down before Dezmond extends his hand. Both men shake hands, then Ishimori leaves. Their match for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship will take place next week.

We hear from Dan Lambert, Lashley and "The Cowboy" James Storm before tonight's call-out.

Dan Lambert asks the rest of American Top Team to take the night off, as they, "The Cowboy" James Storm are seen backstage.

Petey Williams and Johnny Impact are talking backstage when Alberto El Patron says he is teaming with them only because he is being told to, and tells Impact he is fighting a battle he cannot win. He tells him to be careful, as accidents happen all the time in the ring. He also does not think much of Petey Williams, either.

The GWN Flashback of the Week is Gail Kim becoming the very first Knockouts Champion at Bound For Glory 2007.

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis tell Jimmy Jacobs that they have their match in the bag backstage. When Eli asks if they're good, Jimmy simply says yes.

Jimmy Jacobs is revealed to be Eli Drake and Chris Adonis' partner for the next match...almost. He says "the princess is here," and says despite what other people say, he is a good guy and he is here to help. He says Eli and Adonis need help and another man on their team. He promised them he would get them a partner, but he did not. He got him something better: a savage who is walking proof that not all men are created equal: Kongo Kong, whom Jacobs calls "the new monster of Impact Wrestling.:

Alberto El Patron, Johnny Impact and Petey Williams beat Eli Drake, Chris Adonis and Kongo Kong. During the match, Kongo Kong powerbombs Petey Williams over the guardrail and into some fans before taking him tot he back at the behest of Jimmy Jacobs. Shortly afterwards, El Patron drags Johnny Impact out of the ring, powerbombs him on the aisle and then pins Eli Drake after a top rope frog splash.

The Pluto TV Rewind of the Week is The Road Warriors (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) making an appearance in Impact Wrestling (then TNA).

Alberto El Patron will face Eli Drake for the Impact Wrestling Global Championship in three weeks.

Joseph Park is on the phone with Grandma Jenny when Chandler Park shows up. He congratulates him for trusting him on the commercials, then says he has a new plan to bring Park, Park and Park to the stratosphere: becoming a professional wrestler. Joseph tries to talk him out of it, but Chandler tells him he should know better than anybody that Parks are fighters.

We hear from Ethan Carter III and Matt Sydal about their Triple Threat Match with Fallah Bahh for the Impact Grand Championship, which happens in three weeks.

Taiji Ishimori will face Trevor Lee for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship in three weeks.

Moose and "The Cowboy" James Storm show up. Moose says American Top Team is starting to piss him off, and Storm says AT&T is pissing him off too because his Internet is not working. After Moose reminds him that he is talking about American Top Team, he says he had Lashley beat in a one-on-one match until they jumped in, and that he had Lashley beat in a tag team match only for them to jump in again. When he had Lashley beat at Bound For Glory, they jumped in a third time. He now believes that Lashley can't beat him one-on-one, and says he should change his nickname from "Walking Armageddon" to "Bitch Boy Bobby." Lashley and Dan Lambert show up, and Lashley tells Moose to shut up, and says he will fight anybody at anytime, and Moose is not an exception. The crowd chants "Bitch Boy Bobby." Lashley tells Moose that if he wants to fight him, it will happen, but only on his terms and there is nothing he can do about it. Storm tells Dan Lambert he respects what American Top Team does, even if he does not like him, as they are one of the greatest camps in MMA, but when they come into professional wrestling and disrespect them, he has a problem, and now he is looking at "a big ol' bag of poo-poo." Every time Dan Lambert speaks, Storm calls it "poo-poo," and the crowd chants it. Storm then tells Dan Lambert he wants him one-on-one. Lambert says he cannot figure out why professional wrestling chose to pick a fight with MMA, and he will never figure out why American Top Team was singled out. Storm says he wants Lambert one-on-one so he can kick the shit out of him. Lambert says if he wants to prove himself against other sport, he should go down the street and slap the Ottawa Senators. He then says he had to stand on the ramp a few weeks ago and hear him go on and on about his love for pro wrestling and the fans as well as how he puts his body on thel ine and how he lives for the fans. He says it make sit want to puke, but he now sees this as an opportunity. He notes that Storm has been in the company since day one and has shown considerable staying power, and says this makes Storm the face of Impact Wrestling, which in turn makes him "the head of the snake." If he can cut the head, then Impact Wrestling can "no longer sell its snake oil." He says that if he wants to face him, he must put his career on the line, and if he loses, he has to leave Impact forever. Storm tells Dan Lambert he has a deal, but after he kicks his ass, he, Lashley and the rest of American Top Team can get out of his company. He then says the only thing he will hear for the rest of his life is "Sorry about your damn luck." Before he can finish that statement, however, Lambert spits in his face, and Lashley hits Moose with a cheap shot. As Lambert directs traffic, Storm threatens to hit him with the Last Call Superkick. Suddenly, KM gets in the ring, but he falls victim to the Last Call after a brief brawl. Storm then finishes his statement after Lambert retreats.

"The Cowboy" James Storm will face Dan Lambert in a Career vs. Career Match in three weeks.

Laurel Van Ness beats Rosemary to become the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion! This happens after Laurel Van Ness shoves the ref, ducks the mist from Rosemary, gets it on her hands and hits Rosemary with an Unprettier from the top rope after rubbing the mist into Rosemary's eyes.

An irritated Sami Callihan eventually finds Konnan. Konnan tells him that life's greatest tragedies are getting old too fast and getting wise too late, and thought he was smarter than he comes across as. He tells him he is ignorant and oblivious to that. Callihan says he's head enough and says there is a new kid in town, but Konnan says he has something he wants: the tag team titles, as he is losing a lot of money. Konnan wants a tag team title match. Callihan accepts, but on the condition that if the Latin-American Xchange loses, they have to leave Impact. Konnan tells him that if he reneges on this deal, he will screw up his entire life and those of everyone he knows and he will be so toxic that they would work with very trashy celebrities before they ever work with him again. He then tells him this is business, not personal. They shake hands, then Callihan throws a fireball at Konnan's eyes, blinding him. Callihan then tells him "Now it's personal, bitch!"

Once he finishes Texano, he will deal with Dan Lambert, saying that if he wants to take out pro wrestling, he will have to take him out as he is pro wrestling.

The Latin-American Xchange have oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) to take care of, and they plan on going to any and all lengths to take them out and take back the tag team titles.

From Defy Wrestling in Seattle, Washington, Sami Callihan beats Randy Myers.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Alberto El Patron. El Patron says Johnny Impact cannot fight like a man and that he is a little kid. At Bound For Glory, he broke his arm and his spirit and saw Johnny's mom crying in the front row. He is back in Impact Wrestling to destroy, and he is going to start with Johnny Impact. He has already wiped him all over the ring once, and tonight, he will do it again and there is nothing anybody in the office can do to stop him. Afterwards, KM is seen attacking a production assistant. He kicks another man in the gut before ramming him into the production truck as part of proving himself to American Top Team.

KM tries to get the attention of Dan Lambert and American Top Team before the next match, but to no avail, with Lambert saying "I have a cowboy to take care of."

"The Cowboy" James Storm beats Texano with a Last Call Superkick after Texano takes Storm's hat, puts it on and calls himself a real cowboy. Storm puts the hat on during the pinfall. After the match, Storm is attacked by American Top Team as he makes his way backstage. Storm fights back briefly, but Storm falls victim to a running powerslam from Lashley. Suddenly, Moose runs in with a steel chair, and one members of American Top Team gets nailed with it. Dan Lambert then says the sad truth about the circus is that once you get past the novelty of the clowns and the bearded lady, it gets old quickly. He says Impact Wrestling is no different, and if you lie with dogs long enough, you will eventually get fleas. He is out of bug spray, and this must end next week by taking Storm and Moose out simultaneous and sending the Candian "Eskimos" back to their igloos where they belong. Next week, he will break out the big guns as Storm and Moose take on Lashley and American Top Team's secret weapon: himself.

The Pluto TV rewind of the week is Rhyno Goring Abyss through a metal wall.

We look back at Kurt Angle's debut against Samoa Joe at Genesis 2006 in the GWN Flashback Moment of the Week.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Johnny Impact, whose arm is not at 100%. However, it is good enough to get the job done. Since Bound For Glory, all he has had on his mind is Alberto El Patron. He knew he was crazy and reckless, but he did not realize how delusional he is. He says that he doesn't run the place, but he has personal problems and his biggest problem is him, and that this is now about just the two of them and El Patron getting what is coming to him. Tonight, he is taking Alberto El Patron to Slamtown.

We hear from Eli Drake and Chris Adonis. Drake says Alberto El Patron vs. Johnny Impact is tonight, and he will be watching tonight.

El Patron revives the ref, then hits a DDT, but only gets a two-count. Later on in the match, El Patron takes the tap around Johnny's left elbow and tries to shove it in his mouth as he has him in the tree of woe position before going for the double stomp. All of a sudden, Eli Drake shows up and distracts Alberto El Patron, and El Patron knocks him down with a right hand before hitting him with the Impact Wrestling Global Championship. When El Patron gets back on the apron, Johnny pulls him back into the ring from the tree of woe position and hits Starship Pain for the win. After the match, Eli Drake decks El Patron with the Global Championship before pounding away on Johnny Impact, as does Chris Adonis, who also runs in. Suddenly, Petey Williams shows up from out of the crowd, and he takes Eli Drake out with a Codebreaker before hitting hitting Adonis with a tope suicida. He runs in to the ring and into a Gravy Train, but Johnny stops it with a superkick before Petey Williams hits Eli Drake with a Canadian Destroyer to end the show.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for November 23, 2017

It is announced that there will be a Turkey Bowl match tonight. Ten members of Impact Wrestling will be randomly drawn and placed into teams of five, with each team receiving a team captain. The person who gets pinned will wear the turkey suit this year.
