Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for May 21, 2026

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Eddie Edwards calls The System "the most dominant force in TNA history" and calls Cedric's victory from last week a statement, and says that if he were Mike Santana, he would watch his back, as he still has his eyes on the World Championship. Brian Myers says that the champions in The System do not suck, and calls Eddie "the uncrowned TNA World Champion" and a future TNA Hall of Famer for carrying TNA on his back for over a decade, as The System is full of winners. Bear Bronson says that everyone who steps up to them gets taken out, regardless of how good anyone thinks they are or how much the fans believe in them, as The System does not give a damn who believes in them, for the result will always be the same. He says that anyone who steps up to The System will be eaten alive. Cedric Alexander says Leon Slater was just one day away from reaching his dream of becoming a record-breaker, but last week, he became the record taker. He then says that afterwards, somebody decided to ruin the party, and calls out Fabian Aichner so he can say what he has to say to his face. Aichner shows up and says he came to TNA to make a name for himself. He says that he is here for respect, redemption and recognition, and that the bigger the fight, the better the result, for he is a future champion. He tells Cedric to enjoy being champion, for he is here to take his spot. The System rush at Aichner, but he takes them down before fighting Cedric in the ring and nearly choking him out.



Backstage, Daria Rae speaks with Steve Maclin, says that everyone in TNA brags about loyalty, yet as soon as Maclin put his hands on Tom Hannifan, everyone wanted him gone from TNA. She says she saw the situation differently and that everyone fears what Maclin is capable of when he is focused, and that she knows what men built like Maclin are capable of. Daria then tells Maclin that he has the opportunity to rip the heart out of the company, take out Mike Santana and put the TNA World Championship back around the waist of someone who deserves to carry it.

Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace guest on commentary for the next match.

Indi Hartwell beats Elayna Black by disqualification after Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace get on the apron so that Arianna can shove Indi Hartwell off the top rope. After the match, Arianna mentions Indi saying she had unfinished business with her and says that their business is now finished, then states she is no longer TNA Knockouts World Champion because of Director of Authority Santino Marella giving Lei Ying Lee an opportunity she did not deserve because he was mad at her. Santino shows up and calls Arianna's words "classless" before stating that Lei Ying Lee deserved the rematch because she beat her, and says the only thing unfinished around here is Arianna's attitude before calling her a brat. He also says that Stacks makes him sick and fills Arianna's head full of garbage, and when Stacks pokes at Santino, Santino pulls out the Cobra only for Daria Rae to show up. Daria says that Santino is picking fights with talent again, says that nobody is scared of the Cobra and calls judo "the weakest of all the martial arts" because she is a real fighter. She also asks Stacks to file a complaint against Santino with the board of directors.

Backstage, Steve Maclin is met by Eric Young. Eric Young says he offered him a real opportunity, yet Maclin turned it down and he got fired before turning into everything he wanted him to be and found his way back. He also says that Mike Santana tried to end Maclin's career and that Maclin disappeared, then says that if he beats Santana, he will face to face him and prove him wrong, for he has proved him right at every turn and is willing to tell him the truth. He says that win or lose, Maclin gets to choose his fate, and says that either he beats Santana and faces him or he loses and disappears again.

Maria Kanellis-Bennett says Team Impact is angry because they actually believed in the constructs of professional wrestling and believed in honor, and believed that Impact Wrestling is the only thing that matters. She says they have been brainwashed, and that they are questioning everything ever since Eddie Edwards has snapped back into reality. Heath calls this "the most delusional B.S. I've heard all night," but Vincent says he used to work for delusional people and that Heath thinking he will become World champion is not just delusion, but pure insanity.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for January 25, 2020

Ian Riccaboni and Quinn McKay host a recap of recent events. Matches covered and other things in the episode include:

Rush vs. PCO for the ROH World Championship at Saturday Night at Center Stage

Andrew Everett vs. Dragon Lee for the ROH World Television Championship at Saturday Night at Center Stage

Backstage, 2 Guys 1 Tag ("The Last Real Man" Silas Young and Josh "The Goods" Woods) argue over who gets to go through a narrow hallway first, and Woods almost runs into Quinn McKay in the process.

Vincent and Bateman beat The Wrestling Buddies (Michael Stevens and Sal Rinauro) in a television-exclusive match. During the match, Vincent speaks on the microphone, but the audio is removed due to Vincent making controversial statements.

Backstage, Nick Aldis says he was telling the truth when he said that anyone who gets in the ring with him becomes a bigger deal, and that it is not enough for "The Villain" Marty Scurll to have an incredible run and sign a big contract with ROH, but also to steal his spotlight and show him off. He says the gloves are off and they are not friends right now, and he will expose him as the fraud that he is, and if he wants a turf war, he's got it. He also says he has nothing against Rush, calling him "a means to an end" to getting his hands on Scurll for making the biggest mistake of his life.

Thunderstruck - Thunder recap for March 5, 1998

The show starts with "Macho Man" Randy Savage receiving the Harvard Lampoon Real Man of the Year award for 1998 as part of a message from the New World Order. Savage says he knows what is wrong with the nWo and knows how to fix it as he receives his award. He is also seen signing autographs as he says that the pecking order of the nWo has changed and that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan is no longer "the big kahuna."

The New World Order shows up. Eric Bischoff mocks "Macho Man" Randy Savage, saying he is not a real man compared to "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, that a real man would admit that he has lived under Hogan's shadow all of his career, and that Savage is the second-most delusional human being he has ever met in his life. Hogan says it is quite clear that with him as the big kahuna, the whole nWo and his nWo-ites know that when you are with the nWo, you are with the nWo for life. He then says that once they line their ducks up in a row, Sting will be stung and that "Macho Man" will not be so macho anymore. Hogan then boasts about beating Savage like a dog on Nitro and proving that he made professional wrestling what it is today before calling himself "the real macho man." He also calls Harvard Lampoon's "Real Man of the Year" the biggest joke he has ever seen, as everybody knows that Miss Elizabeth was also his manager and that you would have to look at her skinny legs to see he is a man. He says that Scott Hall will make sure Sting is stung at Uncensored, and suggest that WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon find him another opponent, because Savage will not be there. He also says that if Savage had the intestinal fortitude to enter the arena tonight, he will beat him up again. Suddenly, Brian Adams interrupts, saying he does not want to stomp on any toes and that Hogan has nothing to prove, as Savage and everyone knows that Hogan is an icon and that he will beat the hell out of Savage. He also asks Hogan for the honor to take out Savage himself and let Hogan have the night off should Savage show up tonight. Hogan accepts, and Savage nothing to do with the nWo as they are just two sweet.

Bill Goldberg beats Vincent in mere seconds with just the Spear and the Jackhammer.

Eddie Guerrero beats Prince Iaukea after dropkicking Iaukea into the knee, tripping his off the top rope before he can hit a springboard move.

This weekend on WCW Saturday Night: Disco Inferno vs. Lodi! Dean Malenko vs. Kidman! Scott Steiner vs. Ray Traylor!

Kimberly, Spice and Fire and the Nitro Girls announce that WCW Road to Spring Party is making a stop at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina with "Mean" Gene Okerlund and all of the Nitro Girls. They will be broadcasting live from the campus and they will be bringing Nitro right to the Devil's Den. Students are asked to show their school spirit by partying with them, and while the University of Tennessee had a great Nitro party, they want to see if Duke can throw a better one. There will be free Domino's Pizza, WCW merchandise give-aways and much more.

Juventud Guerrera beats El Dandy. During the match, Raven's Flock takes their seats in the front row. After the match, Konnan shows up, calls Juvi "Aníbal González" (which is part of his real name), then confronts him for interfering in his match and losing his mask before telling him to "get ready to get got" if he wants to challenge him on Nitro. Juvi says he does not care what Konnan has to say and that he is ready any time, anywhere.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up. He calls out Brian Adams and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, who show up along with Eric Bischoff. Savage confronts Hogan and Bischoff for calling him delusional and Hogan in particular for considering himself the leader of the nWo, and says the rest of the nWo want to shake his hand, smile to his face and stab him in the back at the drop of a hat. He also says his phone is ringing off the hook and that Hogan's friends want to band together with the main goal of getting Hogan out of the nWo. He then says he has known Hogan for too long, and the way he looks at it, Hogan is like a horse with a broken leg and is no good to anybody. He then says that at Uncensored, he will send Hogan to the glue factory. As for Brian Adams, if he is betting his career on Hogan, he will take that bet and raise him five, and after he gets done crushing Brian Adams, he wants Hogan in the middle of the ring so he can give him a piece of the madness. Hogan laughs, and says that Savage will be a comedian after Uncensored, and that he would love to come down to the ring and watch Brian Adams vs. Randy Savage tonight.

We see a video package of Lex Luger's calling out of Scott Steiner prior to their match at Uncensored.

Scott Steiner beats Chase Tatum with the Steiner Recliner.

We see a video package of The Giant hitting Kevin Nash with a Jackknife Power Bomb.

Curt Hennig beats Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart after Rick Rude hits Neidhart with a 2x4 as Hennig distracts referee Mickey Jay. After the match, Hennig and Rick Rude continue to attack Neidhart, then The British Bulldog runs into the ring and chases them away.

Mike Tenay interviews Raven in the ring. Raven says he has yearned from release from the labyrinth of his past, and the walls are bitters memories and the corridors hate. He then says he and Diamond Dallas Page had a volatile past, and that he helped him when nobody else would despite his arrogance. He says DDP did not remember him on the path to fame and glory while he spent three long years in "barbed wire city" making a name for himself and learned that if one is scarred badly enough, they no longer feel the pain. Tonight will be his vindication and DDP's Waterloo. He proved he can destroy "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, and tonight, he is taking the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. He says that if he wins, he will not put the title on the line at Uncensored so that Benoit and DDP can suffer in silence and agony like he did, and learn that they cannot escape their fate, as someone must pay for the pain of his past.

We see a video package of Chris Jericho. He says that he has realized that the fans really like him, and says he is their role model, hero and paragon of virtue and that they will continue to cheer for him like they always do. He says the fans have becoming "raging Jerichoholics," which he considers a big responsibility. He says the things that he has done for his fans have been misconstrued. He says he is a three-time Cruiserweight champion and that he is the man the fans should be looking up to, and that he should be put on a pedestal like the role model that he is. He also says that his heinous actions as of late will never happen again.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho says that he addresses the Jerichoholics with nothing but the honest truth each and every week, and that there has been a man in the dressing room asking for his advice and opinions. He says that Dean Malenko used to be "The Man of 1,000 Holds" before saying he knows 1,004 holds. He says that until Malenko has the same respect for the business and experience that he has as well as half the talent he possesses, he will never win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship from him.

Chris Jericho beats Ciclope with the Lion Tamer. After the match, Jericho refuses to release the hold, and Dean Malenko shows up to grab Jericho by the hair before suplexing him and putting him in the Texas Cloverleaf.

Scott Norton vs. The Renegade ends when The Giant makes a surprise return and Jackknife Power Bombs Norton before choke slamming The Renegade. The Giant then takes the microphone and hopes that Kevin Nash is watching closely from home, as the playing field is now even with his bad neck and Nash's bad back. He says "Checkmate...show up," before leaving the ring, having chains wrapped around his wrist and padlocked by security and local police, and getting escorted to the back.

Before the next match, Raven gives Diamond Dallas Page one last chance to beg for forgiveness before announcing that the next match is under Raven's Rules. DDP shows up, then tells him he's got his forgiveness "right here" before saying the match will be under "DDP rules" and that there will be no referee. He tells referee Nick Patrick to leave, then the next match begins. DDP and Raven brawl their way towards the back, and "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit shows up from behind the backstage curtains and fights both Raven and DDP. As the match de-evolves into a brawl and returns to the ring, a rather large man in a tanktop, blue jeans and a plaid shirt wrapped around his waist shows up and attacks both DDP and Benoit. Hammer tosses a guardrail into the ring as the rest of Raven's Flock surrounds the ring, and Raven hits Benoit with an Evenflow DDT on the guardrail before doing the same to DDT.

Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage says that what "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan said earlier in the show about Miss Elizabeth has some merit. After admitting she was his wife as well as his and Hogan's manager, then Miss Elizabeth says "Macho Man' Randy Savage is the real man. Brian Adams has to hold Hogan back. Savage says that if Hogan has a problem with that, then he will have problems with having to ask his wife who the real man is. Savage then fights both Adams and Hogan, and even hits them both with Hogan's weight belt. Adams grabs Savage from behind, and Miss Elizabeth goes for Adam's eyes before being trapped in the corner by Hogan. Savage then fights both Hogan and Adams again, but suddenly, he is attacked by a man in black leather and a jacket with the nWo logon the back. The man with the long blond hair and the sunglasses has shown up again, and he hits Savage with a neckbreaker before the rest of the nWo shows up and attacks Savage until Sting runs into the ring, chasing out the nWo members to end the show.
