Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for March 21, 2024

Mustafa Ali guests on commentary for the next match. Before the next match, John Skyler states that Jason Hotch is in the Rebellion Referendum to show support and is not entering to challenge Mustafa Ali, but to keep everyone else from earning an X Division title shot, as only Mustafa Ali is fit to be the X Division Champion. He is soon interrupted by Kevin Knight.

Jake Something beats Jason Hotch, Kevin Knight, Leon Slater, Chris Bey and Alan Angels in the Rebellion Referendum to earn an X Division title shot against Mustafa Ali, much to Mustafa's chagrin.

We hear from Dirty Dango, who talks about the one time he bought a Range Rover and how the wrestling dirtsheets will not even write about him. He talks about how "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander only beat him because his shoelaces were untied and calls Windsor, Ontario, Canada "Detroit's stupid cousin" due to its cold temperatures, then says everyone only cares about five-star matches. He says that one is only as good as who they surround themselves with, then says that he has two anchors holding him down right now. When he gets angry at Oleg Prudius for losing to Josh Alexander, Prudius comes close to beat him up.

Backstage, Gia Miller gets an interview with AJ Francis and Rich Swann. Francis tells Gia to address all questions to him, then says that everything will be explained next week before he and Swann leave to catch a first-class flight.

Deaner is in the ring. He says that for the last couple of years, he has not been himself, and when he looks at all the decision they have made, he realizes that they have all led to failure. He blames himself for all of those failures and poor decision, and that the best decision he ever made was falling in love with professional wrestling. He says that the fans have the same passion that he does, but he has since lost that passion and he can only get it back with the help of the fans. He says that from now on, every decision that he makes will be in the fans' hands. The Grizzed Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up for their match, and Zack Gibson asks Deaner if he is ill and if he thinks anybody cares about him or his "pathetic" life, then says he should be taking advice from them, not from the fans. He also says that he should be more like the fans and hang up the boots, because they always give up on their dreams and he offers nothing to professional wrestling just like them. Gibson then tells Deaner to "jog on" and leave the ring so that the professionals can go to work. Deaner then says he made a promise to these people, then asks the fans if he should leave or stay. The fans make it clear he should stay. Gibson tells Deaner should not be taking advice from people claiming benefits and threatens that he and James Drake will do something to him that he will not enjoy if he does not leave. Deaner says the people have spoken and fights The Grizzled Young Vets, and this leads to Time Splitters (KUSHIDA and Alex Shelley) running into the ring, getting the next match started.

Time Splitters (KUSHIDA and Alex Shelley) beat The Grizzed Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) with a Hoverboard Lock from KUSHIDA to Drake after Shelley superkicks Drake.

In footage from earlier today, Tom Hannifan interviews Hammerstone. Hammerstone says signing to TNA has been a long time in the making since he had his first TNA match on Xplosion in 2018, and he was told he was not ready, which put a chip on his shoulder. He says that he travelled all over the world to become ready for this, and dominated everywhere. He says he had to come swim in the ocean after being a big fish in a small pond, and he could not be more excited to face Josh Alexander due to how good he was. Hammerstone admits he had nerves, but confidence breaks nerves, and he was ready. He also says that Alexander had to roll out of the ring to beat him at Hard to Kill. On the subject of his win at Sacrifice, Hammerstone says he does not have to prove he is the better wrestler, and that he proved he was smarter at Sacrifice as he also broke Alexander's spirit and took his headgear as a trophy. He says that his headgear will be a reminder of Alexander's loss to him, and if Alexander wants another match, he will give him another reminder.

Crazzy Steve retains the TNA Digital Media Championship against PCO. During the match, Kon shows up with a bunch of weapons, and PCO beats him up. Crazzy Steve soon gouges PCO's eyes from the inside of the ring, then grabs a chain thrown into the ring by Kon, which distracts the referee as Kon slams PCO into some metal folding chairs and rolls PCO back into the ring. Crazzy Steve wins the match and retains with a schoolkid pin.

Backstage, we hear from Decay (Rosemary and Havok). Havok says they have their eyes on Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat), and Rosemary says they have a contractually obligate rematch for the Knockouts Tag Team titles. MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly) shows up from behind and declare that their rematch is first, and Rosemary declares that the only way to settle this is in the ring.

Eric Young heads to the ring. Eric Young says he was so close to winning but came up short at Sacrifice, and that he promised to keep moving forward and he is proud of that. He says that Moose has the biggest bullseye in the world on his back and that they are not through, then tells Frankie Kazarian to watch what he wishes for and that he has made a mistake getting his attention. He says that if Kazarian wants to be "heavy metal," then they can square off in a Full Metal Mayhem match at Rebellion.

Ash By Elegance beats Seleziya Sparx. Ash By Elegance punches Seleziya a few times after the match, then her concierge George Iceman hands him a metal folding chair to choke Seleziya out with it. She then goes up top for another Rarified Air, but Xia Brookside show up to stop Ash. Ash leaves the ring, and calls Xia Brookside "trash" on the way out.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring. Nemeth talks about how he slid into the ring and stood face-to-face with Moose on his first night in TNA, and promised that he will become TNA World Champion. He also says that he respects the locker room too much to be handed a title shot and that he wants to earn it, and talks about his first challenge in Steve Maclin, who said that he would run him out of TNA only for Nemeth to prove he was here to stay. He says that he was going to keep fighting and bide his time until the fans really wanted him, but Moose could not wait, and now, because of his action, he has a World title shot at Rebellion. As Nemeth proclaims that he will not let this slip through his fingers and that he will walk out World Champion, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) shows up. Moose says there is no denying how well-accomplished Nemeth is, and that throughout his career, he has defeated some of the greatest of all time. He then says that if anyone knows anything about Nemeth's career, they know that the one thing he has never been able to beat is The System.

Jordynne Grace retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Tasha Steelz.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for March 7, 2024

Mustafa Ali beats Kevin Knight. During the match, The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) show up after Kevin Knight takes out Mustafa Ali's personal security, but KUSHIDA and Chris Sabin show up and brawl with The Good Hands. As the brawl goes on, John Skyler tries to introduce the X Division title as a weapon, but as Sabin knocks Skyler down to take it away, Mustafa takes out Sabin, then blasts Kevin Knight with the title belt as the referee is dealing with the brawl. After the match, The Good Hands hold Kevin Knight down so that Mustafa Ali can hit a top rope 450 on Kevin Knight's arm. Alex Shelley soon runs in with a crutch and chases Mustafa and The Good Hands away.

We see a video package of the feud between Xia Brookside and Tasha Steelz and the events leading up to Xia vs. Tasha vs. Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Sacrifice.

Backstage, Kevin Knight is checked out in the trainer's room, where he finds out he will not be cleared in twenty-four hours. Alex Shelley says he will take his place, but this leads to an awkward conversation revolving around KUSHIDA throwing in the towel at No Surrender.

Ash by Elegance beats Angel Blue.

We hear from Steve Maclin from his hotel room. He says "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is nothing but a phony and a liar who does not want to work from the bottom to the top and show up when he wants when he is here week in and week out, and says Nemeth fears him and keeps ducking him. He says that if Nemeth will not show up, then he will not show up, and as he dares Nemeth to face him at Sacrifice, he is suddenly attacked in his hotel room. We then find out the attacker is none other than Nic Nemeth.

Before the next match, John Skyler says time split when Mustafa Ali showed up and showed the difference between his vision and Chris Sabin's, then says The Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) should split up as a tag team when they lose to The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).

Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) with the Hoverboard Lock from KUSHIDA to Skyler.

We hear from Dirty Dango, Alpha Bravo and Oleg Prudius. Dango says the three of them will dominate TNA and its tag team division and go down in the TNA Hall of Fame, then plugs his wrestling school. Dango then wonders why "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander wears headgear and says that the "indy mark nerds" will want to join their wrestling school when they see him in the main event.

Backstage, The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) apologize to Mustafa Ali before Mustafa tells them that he has underestimated Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) and that he needs to re-think their match at Sacrifice. He then replaces The Good Hands with The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Mustafa thanks The Good Hands for their service, then he, his personal security and The Grizzled Young Veterans leave.

Dani Luna beats Masha Slamovich.

PCO quickly beats Alan Angels. After the match, Kon comes after PCO with a metal folding chair. This leads to a brawl between both men, and Angels tries to reunite with Kon only for Kon to snap his neck. Both PCO and Kon then brawl with chairs, then brawl their way to the back.

We hear from Crazzy Steve. He says what who he is is simple, but what he is is more complicated. He says he is a artist, wrestler and teacher or the delicate art of misery, and that one must instill hope only to take it away. He says that this is why he defends the Digital Media title when he gets in the ring, and regardless of his opponent, the story of their life will be their death.

Eric Young heads to the ring. Eric says Sacrifice is not just a show name, but a way of life, and that he has given his heart and soul to TNA and will do it again, and would give a thousand lifetimes to stand where he is standing now. He says that he desires the TNA World Championship and that Moose is holding it, and guarantees that he will keep coming forward, and while Moose may be one of the best to ever do it while all is said and do it and may destroy him, the dead don't get deader, and he will play for keeps. Moose shows up and calls Eric a world class maniac, as he has "all the stupid idiots" believing "all the bullcrap" that is coming out of his mouth, yet he has been in TNA for a very long time, and at Sacrifice, his time is over. He says Eric can bring all his passion and determination, but the outcome will still be the same and he will still be TNA World Champion. Moose says he has done his homework and that he knows Eric loves a good fight much like he does, and says they might as well go at it right now in a New Orleans street fight. He teases getting in the ring, but decides against it, saying that is not how the system works. Eric is suddenly attacked from behind by Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards. Myers and Eddie hold Eric down so that Moose can hit him with the Spear, then Alisha Edwards shows up with a chain and hands it to Moose. Moose wraps it around himself and his right shoulder and hits Eric with another Spear to lay him out, then goes for one more before ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) show up with metal folding chairs and chase The System (Eddie, Alisha, Myers, Moose) away.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Dirty Dango after Dango misses with Down 'n Dirty and Alexander makes him tap to the ankle lock.

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for July 27, 2023

Before the BTI match, Joe Hendry says it is time to address the elephant in the room and announces that he is no longer Digital Media Champion. He says that he knows everyone is upset, but he must motivate himself, as life is about peaks and valleys as well as good times and bad times, then recites a haiku that reflects the situation: "Sometimes life is good, sometimes life is bad, and sometimes life is so bad you need to quit and become a male stripper." He then says there is a shorter two-word that everyone sings, and that is "I believe," for they believe in Joe Hendry.

We hear from Dirty Dango and John E. Bravo. Dango says he does not take Santino Marella seriously at all, then mentions Santino's daughter again. He says that he has John E. Bravo with him as his personal security because Scott D'Amore is "a loose cannon boss" "hitting Canadian Destroyers like he is 25 again" while Director of Authority Santino Marella is hitting people with Cobras.

Johnny Swinger beats "Outlandish" Zicky Dice in a Loser Leaves IMPACT Match and earns a shot at the IMPACT World Championship after letting Zicky Dice ride in the cart after telling him it is his time when Zicky Dice stops the count and tells Swinger to finish the match.

All of a sudden, Chris Sabin returns and re-evens the numbers game, and Lio Rush is surrounded in the ring and eventually beaten up and thrown out of the ring by Sabin.

The IMPACT Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Eric Young vs. Magnus (now Nick Aldis) for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from the April 10, 2014 episode of IMPACT.

We hear from Alan Angels, who says Heath is the perfect example of somebody who thinks they are like a rock star while he himself is a real-life rock star. He says that Heath is jealous of him and that Heath's career is going downhill, then proposes a match for next week to see how much of a rock star Heath really is.

In backstage footage from last week, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) make light of their own actions from last week and tell Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) to watch out for them.
