Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 20, 2020

Hernandez beats Rhino, Alisha, Cousin Jake and Heath in a five-way match to enter the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at Bound For Glory at #20, while Rhino - who is pinned by Hernandez with a schoolkid pin after inadvertently hitting Alisha with a Gore after Hernandez inadvertently dodges it upon getting slapped in the face by Alisha - enters at #1.

We see a video package of what has happened recently between Moose and EC3.

Jimmy Jacobs interviews Moose. Moose walks out of the interview after saying that EC3 will not be happy after he is done with him at Bound For Glory, then three men in EC3 jackets show up, put a bag over Jacobs' head and place him in a black vehicle.

Backstage, John E. Bravo is ticked off that he has nothing for the wedding with only week to go, and Kaleb - Tenille Dashwood's photographer - is revealed as the photographer for the wedding. Taya Valkyrie shows up to an angry John E. Bravo, who walks out of the room ready to give up.

We heat from Deonna Purrazzo, who says that Impact Wrestling has been the place to be for the last nearly twenty years for women's wrestling to be taken seriously, and says that at Bound For Glory, she will rise to the pressure, and that Kylie Rae cannot do the same. She says that it will not take long for her to get Kylie Rae to become unhinged and make rash decisions and mistakes, and that she will not only celebrate a victory, but become delighted that Kylie Rae lost.

Rosemary beats Havok. As per pre-match stipulation, Havok must help Rosemary bring Father James Mitchell back from the dead for her wedding with John E. Bravo. (Had Havok won, Rosemary would have to leave Havok alone, and Father James Mitchell would stay dead.)

We see a vignette chronicling the recent events between The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson).

We see a commercial for Talk 'n Shop: Full Keg, airing tonight at 10 PM Eastern on AXS TV.

We hear from Kylie Rae, who says that while Deonna Purrazzo is a good wrestler, they won't know who the best is until their match. Kylie Rae says she is going to beat Deonna for the Knockouts Championship, despite Deonna's ways to throw her off of her game. Kylie admits that her anger sometimes gets the best of her, and says that she tries to be a good person at the end of the day. She says that Deonna made their match personal when she broke Susie's arm, but it will not be revenge when she beats Deonna for the title.

The men in the EC3 jackets take Jimmy Jacobs out of the van and take him into another building where the bag is removed. He is then met by EC3, who says there is nowhere to go and that it is just the two of them.

After the commercial break, EC3 tells Jimmy Jacobs that they are captives in their own narratives and that right now, Jacobs is in his. EC3 says that narratives change, as his adversary has emerged, and while all of him is wounded, he lives with those wounds everyday. EC3 says he saw the Moose that Moose should always have been and has the potential to be, and saw that potential in Moose's eyes when Moose hit him as hard as he could. He then says Moose's narrative is his to control, not Moose's. He says that Moose must learn what he must become, but he must learn that lesson by his hands in order to destroy his past and burn its legacy to the ground. EC3 says he must beat Moose inside his own narrative in order to fulfill his purpose, and says that the only glory at Bound For Glory is when he burns the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and its legacy into dust. He congratulates Moose on becoming what he must be, then tells Moose he has been warned.

Sami Callihan beats Eddie Edwards after Sami Callihan turns the lights off, which causes Ken Shamrock to appear after the lights come back on. Sami Callihan then pins a distracted Eddie Edwards with a schoolkid pin to win the match. After the match, Shamrock attacks Eddie, then puts Eddie Edwards in an ankle lock in the middle of the ring.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to the six-way X Division Championship match at Bound For Glory.

Willie Mack, TJP and Trey Miguel beat Chris Bey, Rohit Raju and Jordynne Grace after Chris Bey and Rohit Raju fight over who gets the pinfall victory, which allows Trey to superkick Bey and pin Raju to get the win.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between Rich Swann and Eric Young.

Eric Young is interviewed. He says he has tried to give people an easy path and a means to avoid him, but nobody is learning. He says that if anyone wants to break his boundaries, they will have to live with the consequences like he has done through his career. He says that people have learned the hard way and that bodies will continue to pile up if this continues, and says that he is now angry and has a purpose and a target, and knows what has to be done regarding Rich Swann. As Young says that Swann's actions will be his responsibility, he is suddenly attacked by Eric Young, who take their brawl outside of the building until the camera capturing everything is knocked out.

The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) vs. The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) ends in a no-contest after both teams brawl in the ring and refuses to listen to the referee. After the match, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up to attack The North, then The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up to attack Austin and Fulton. The Good Brothers and The Motor City Machine Guns are the only two teams left in the ring, and The Good Brothers attack the Machine Guns in the end to end the show.

Rohit says this is not his opportunity nor Chris Bey's or Trey Miguel's, as it is for everyone else.

Backstage, Johnny Swinger confronts John E. Bravo, but Fallah Bahh intervenes. John E. Bravo says he odes not care who is best man and that he reversed the decision because of "piss-poor officiating." When Brandon Tolle shows up, John E. Bravo says Tolle should go.

Eddie Edwards shows up and addresses the backstage attack on him last week, and says he knows it is Eric Young and that he will beat his ass, then calls him out so he can beat him in the ring once and for all. Instead of Eric Young, he gets Sami Callihan. Eddie tells Sami Callihan to get in the ring so he can beat him again, but Callihan says he didn't do it. Eddie says he does not care, but Sami turns the lights out. When they come back on, Eddie is attacked from behind by Ken Shamrock. Shamrock then puts Eddie in the ankle lock as Sami watches.

We hear from Eric Young, who says that he hurt Eddie Edwards badly and that his wife Alisha had to do his dirty work, and now Ken Shamrock has attacked him.

He asks D'Amore to let him get back in the ring to face Eric Young. D'Amore says he has respect for Swann and says he would love to see him face Eric Young, but Swann is not medically cleared and cleared for physical contact. Swann says he will be ready by Bound For Glory, and after beating him once, he wants to beat him again. D'Amore says he loves his fighting spirit and knows he wants to compete, but if he were to put Swann in a match with Eric Young, he might be crippled for life. Swann says he might be right, but asks D'Amore to put himself in his shoes. He says that if he were to have the opportunity at a world championship after everything he went through, he would take it, and says that D'Amore is still in the business to give people like him the chance, as Young tried to not only ruin his career, but his life. Swann says he does not care if he gets crippled; he just wants Eric Young, and if he can't have Eric Young, he might as well be taken to the back of the barn and put down. Before D'Amore can say anything, Eric Young shows up. Eric Young shoves D'Amore, but Swann leaps at Eric Young and pounds on Eric Young, who soon retreats and tells Swann he will not make it to Bound For Glory.

He says that Slammiversary trended worldwide because of them, and they became the talk of the wrestling world. Anderson says they are not only the best tag team in the world, but the best big man and the best wrestler in the world. After Anderson says that they turned the wrestling world upside down, Gallows says there is a reason Impact's Internet shop sold out of Good Brothers were quickly sold out, and after plugging "Talk 'N Shop-A-Mania," he says they don't need a "Too Sweet" these days. The two of them are about to have a beer in the ring when Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up. Austin says he will forgive The Good Brothers for Saturday, as he knows they want to make a statement with their grand entrance, and gives them a chance to apologize as he and Fulton are "the guys" around here. Austin says the best big man in the business is Madman Fulton, then propose that The Good Brothers share a beer with their apology before knocking the beers out of their hands. Ace Austin then goes for a cheap shot, but The Good Brothers are ready for it and they easily overpower Austin and Fulton.

Backstage, we hear from The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander). Alexander asks when they get to celebrate, as they have etched their names as the best tag team in Impact history, as they dominated the tag team division. Page says that was until The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) disagreed with them, and says that while they may have changed the game back then, their words are opinion, and they have held the tag team titles for over a year. Page says that the Machine Guns' opinion will be beaten by their fact tonight.

We see a vignette for a masked wrestler in a hoodie.

We see a video package where we hear from the victors of Slammiversary's matches from Saturday.

When Deonna offers to shake her hand after saying she looks forward to it, she pulls her hand back and tries to break it. This starts a brawl that is quickly broken up.

Eddie Edwards shows up. Eddie says that being the Impact World Champion feels right, and mentions that his journey for the last few years has brought him back to the title. He says that this journey is over and that it is time for a new journey to begin, then says that stability has been missing for the last few months. Eddie says he plans to be a champion that everyone can be proud of. He says that the only thing harder than becoming champion is staying champion, and says that there have only been a few title defenses this year and the last title defense was five months ago. Eddie says this will change, and that he will defend the title each and every week against anybody deserving of a shot, then says he is proof that anything is possible. He says that he will bring credibility and stability to the title, then Eric Young shows up. Eddie tells Eric that the only thing he deserves is a good old-fashioned ass kicking, but Eric calls Eddie pathetic and says he has no sway or power in the fate of the World Championship going forward, as Impact Wrestling belongs to him. He also tells Eddie that he should be thanking him for targeting Rich Swann and not him, as those who stand in between him and what he deserves will get broken. Eric says that none of Eddie's hard work matters, and that they are talking about the World Championship mattering only because he made it so. Eddie dives into Eric Young and attacks him, and referees have to break up the brawl.

Backstage, Moose says he will not be a fighting champion like Eddie Edwards, as his title is the most prestigious in the world and that one must receive an invitation to a title shot to get one.

We hear from Crazzy Steve, who says he is so sick of hearing the word "no," yet #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Joseph P. Ryan, Jacob Crist) loves to use that word and pigeonhole him. He says he is a fully-functioning homicidal artist, and next week, he will make a macabre masterpiece.

Wentz leaves along with Trey, awkwardly leaving Dezmond alone with everyone else.

Havok beats Madison Rayne.

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard meets with Eddie Edwards, saying she doesn't need his help and that she wants to fight her battle alone. Eddie says he could have left her alone, but he has been in her situation and that sometimes, when someone reaches their hand out, you have to take it. He is offering his hand so that she can be a World and Tag Team Champion, and the choice of whether or not to take it is up to her.

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Ken Shamrock. Shamrock says that the heat from Sami Callihan's fireball penetrated his eyes and did some damage to the retina, and he had to put drops in his eyes with antibiotics in them for weeks to prevent them from being infected. He admits it was scary for a while, and that he was afraid he would not get his sight back for a week. Shamrock says that Callihan has no respect for anyone trying to make a living in the ring, and while he wants to win, he will not do it at the expense of others. He says that Callihan will do that at someone's expense, and that he does not care if his opponent can put food on their table. He says that he is trying to maintain his composure so that his match with Callihan can happen, as there is a "no touch" clause. As the interview is about to wrap up, the broadcast and lights are hacked, and Shamrock leaves the room to go after Callihan.

TJP takes a chicken breast, while Fallah takes the rest of the tray.

Jimmy Jacobs interviews Rich Swann via satellite. Swann says that recovery is hard and has not been going good, but he thinks that Willie Mack has great odds at beating Ace Austin for the X Division title if he watches his back. Suddenly, Ace Austin interrupts the interview and kicks Jimmy Jacobs out of the room, and tells Swann if he thinks Willie will beat him for the title, he has another thing coming, as Willie held him back and is willing to move on, whereas Swann would be with him in his recovery. Swann says that when the time is right, they will be together again, but for now, Willie Mack is set to take his title. Suddenly, somebody knocks on Swann's door, and Ace Austin tells him to answer after saying he sent Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) over. Swann gets the door, and lets out a yelp before Austin says "Bye bye, Rich."

Backstage, Willie Mack is held back from attacking Ace Austin.

Sami Callihan shows up. Sami says he is not going to do what people expect him to do, and says that after he lost the World Championship to Tessa Blanchard, he set himself aside and got his mind straight. He says he threw a fireball in Ken Shamrock's face due to not only issues with Impact, but with the entire wrestling world, as other companies push everyone down to the bottom when a legend shows up, but he would not allow that in Impact. He says that he has earned his spot, and that Shamrock won't earn a spot without getting through him first, even if he is in the best shape of his life and people are still afraid of him. Sami says that while Shamrock is breaking ankles, he is hitting people in the face with a baseball bat and setting them on fire, making him a more dangerous man than Shamrock. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer shows up. Dreamer says he does not have to speak for Shamrock, and says his father lost his vision and he knows what it is like for someone olde to lose their income along with their vision. Sami says he knows Dreamer has pull in the industry and can show up in a segment whenever he wants, then tells everyone to get a cellphone picture of Dreamer so he can make himself relevant again. Dreamer says that in his day, the older talent helped out the younger talent, and says that Sami is a little troll and that he will not back down from people like him. Sami hits Dreamer with a microphone, but Dreamer fights back. Dreamer then says that the ring is a perfect place for a fight, and says they can have an Old School Rules match right now.

Sami Callihan beats Tommy Dreamer in an Old School Rules Match. After the match, Sami places a trash can and two steel chairs on top of Dreamer, but before he can hurt Dreamer, Rhino comes after him. oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Madman Fulton) gets in the ring and attacks both Dreamer and Rhino. oVe celebrates as a four-man unit once again, then Sami turns off the arena lights. When they come back on, Sami has disappeared, and oVe is surprised and confused, with Fulton angry and distraught.

He also admits that while Tessa Blanchard has "bigger balls" than most of the boys in the back and has proven to be undeniable, every path comes to a roadblock, and he breaks through roadblocks. He says that he has been unbreakable as long as Tessa has proved undeniable, and that he will leave Rebellion as World Champion.

She says that she will prove she is the best when she takes on two of the best in the world and retains the World title at Rebellion.

Before the next match, Joey Ryan - now wearing a turtleneck and khaki shorts and calling himself "Joey P. Ryan" - says that he, Katie Forbes and Rob Van Dam has extraordinary gifts: talent, a derriere and a manhood, respectively. He then says that the fans have lost the privilege of their gifts due to their inability to treat them with respect, and that the fans will never see another dick flip again. RVD says that all the fans are hypocrites, and says that their opponents are drinking beer already as he asks what kind of professional will get in the ring with someone who is drunk. Joey P.

Ethan Page makes fun of the fact that the fans were expecting LAX, and tells them that they got what was advertised as far as "the best tag team in the world" goes. Alexander makes fun of the fans for cheering them for "dressing like morons" and "acting like losers." Alexander says that he has never been so embarrassed in his entire career, and says that dressing like LAX makes him sick before and rubbing his foot on an LAX shirt to show his opinion on the rest of the tag team division. He then says that everyone will soon forget about the rest of the tag team division, for they are the best tag team in the world. Page then says that LAX is never come back, because the fans will never get what they want simply because they are not The North.

He also says that the only way the Impact World Championship is leaving him is over his dead body, and he plans to beat Sami Callihan and defend the title again. He then says that the best part of his injury was that he got to spend time with the person he loved the most.
