Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 5, 2020

Sami Callihan shows up to start tonight's show. Sami says he sees everything, and while the world sits at home, he will brighten everyone's day just a little bit. He says he had the fight of his life against Ken Shamrock, but he is still standing and it will take a lot more to keep him down. He says that he went toe-to-toe with the world's most dangerous man, and the referee stopped the match because he needed help, but he will be damned if anyone helps him again. He says that this is why he attacked oVe, as he needs help from nobody. Sami then proclaims that he has unfinished business with Shamorck, and calls him out. Shamrock shows up and tells Sami to open his ears and calm down, and says that while he has fought a lot of tough guys in his career, Sami is "one tough S.O.B." After listing off a who's who of people he has tapped out, including Big Show and The Rock, he says they have two choices which he is okay with: finishing it outside, or shake his hand and put everything behind them. Before Sami can make a choice, Michael Elgin shows up and says he is the one and only rightful #1 contender and that he does not need any tricks like Sami does. Shamrock, tired of hearing Elgin talk, starts wanting some action. After Sami tells Elgin that all he will do is choke like he does whenever he goes for the World Championship, Elgin punches Sami, and while Sami and Shamrock get a few shots in, Elgin rolls out of the ring before Sami and Shamrock back into each other. After a brief confrontation, Sami suddenly disappears.

We hear from Chris Bey, who states that he is the undisputed #1 contender for the Impact X Division Championship. He says he finesses what he wants, when he wants, and he will finesse his way into becoming "The Finesse Division Champion," as all he needs is one shot.

We hear from Willie Mack, who says that he is still high off his X Division Championship win and that he did not expect Chris Bey to come after his title so soon. He says Bey has finessed his way into him finessing his foot up his ass.

XXXL (Larry D and Acey Romero) beats oVe (Jake Crist and Madman Fulton).

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Mick Foley vs. Kurt Angle at Victory Road 2009.

It's time for Locker Room Talk with Madison Rayne and Johnny Swinger. Tonight's guest is Havok. Havok threatens to beat Madison Rayne up if she gets under her skin, then Madison brings up Nevaeh. Havok says she does not know why Neveah was at Rebellion, then Madison Rayne introduces another person from Havok's past: Kimber Lee. Kimber says she may be new here, but Havok knows who she is and she is ready for her rise to the top. Swinger gets between them to get pushed away by Havok, and Havok reminds Kimber that she knows who she is, too.

We hear from Cody Deaner, who says that he has set up shop in the middle of nowhere, and we see him getting yelled at by somebody at a nearby house, talking to action figures, and selling merchandise off the side of the road.

Suicide beats Johnny Swinger.

We hear from Ace Austin, who says that Chris Bey has no idea who he is dealing with and that his match is a triple threat match due to Willie Mack owing him a title rematch. He says that he will take the title back even if he has to pin "the new guy" to do it.

In footage from earlier today, Josh Mathews interviews Moose. He refuses to mention how he got his hands on the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and insists that he is the real world champion. When told about the upcoming #1 contender's tournament for the Impact World Championship, he is pulling out of the tournament because the Impact World Championship is "a second-class championship" and that his title is the best. Moose continues to insist that he won the title after beating several TNA legends, and says this makes him the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and declares the interview over to keep from putting his hands on Mathews.

Joseph P. Ryan beats Cousin Jake after grabbing the tights following a poke to the eyes as the referee is not watching.

Backstage, Jake Crist has to calm Madman Fulton, telling him he has to focus on the World Championship.

We hear from Kiera Hogan, who says that her career has always landed her in the passenger seat and that she is "The Girl on Fire."

In footage from the Battle Arts Academy and the Don Kolov Arena, The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) are introduced to a crowd consisting of a few training dummies. Page says that The North could vacation while stuck in Canada, but they will defend the tag team titles, as Alexander wants to inflict pain. The North are then introduced to their opponents, who are two skinny guys who come out to French music. Page makes fun of the two guys, who are known as "The Creeps," then they have their match. Page summons the referee by snapping his fingers, and the referee magically shows up. Not surprisingly, The North win.

At the bar, Rosemary wonders what to do next via some tarot cards.

We hear from Rohit Raju, who says that he would never be on the path to the World Championship, and with Moose having dropped out of the tournament, he has taken the spot. Now that he is on his own after three years, he will take what is his.

Next week: Rohit Raju vs. Trey Miguel and Mandman Fulton vs. Hernandez in the #1 contenders' World title tournament! Havok vs. Kimber Lee! Suicide vs. Moose for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship!

After Trey Miguel mentions that he invited Triple XL (Larry D and Acey Romero), The Deaners show up with some beer, then TJP and Fallah Bahh show up with some food that nobody is interested in. This is before Triple XL show up, who help themselves before sitting next to Trey, who has to make some for them as he leaves. 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.

Tommy Dreamer and Rhino beat oVe (Jake and Dave Crist). After the match, Madman Fulton - who was ejected from ringside for grabbing Dreamer form behind - runs in and boots Rhino out of the ring before flattening Dreamer.

We hear from Dave Crist and Madman Fulton. Dave tells Fulton that they have to win and break their losing streak, and Jake Crist shows up and tells them they need to get a win steak going and get Sami Callihan back. Jake says that Sami is testing them, but Dave says that Sami has not spoken to them in months and they are falling apart. Jake is convinced is a test and that Sami is his best friend as all three men agree they are for Ohio, by Ohio and taking over everything.

Moose quickly beats "The Natural" Chase Stevens. After the match, Moose continues to attack Chase Stevens, then grabs a steel chair and hits Stevens with it as more referees show up to tell Moose to stop. As Moose is about to put the chair around Stevens' head, Scott D'Amore shows up and says that if Moose wants a piece of TNA, all he has to do is turn around. He turns around and meets a top rope drop kick from Suicide, who has a more rugged outfit than usual.

At a bar, Rosemary is amazed by how humanity can be so happy when she has spent the last two years trying to get vengeance. She is then met by Raven, who tells her that he gets an orgasmic feeling from eternal vengeance. Rosemary then teleports out of the bar.

Backstage, Willie Mack is congratulated by Ace Austin and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend). Willie thinks that Ace Austin is trying to play mind games, but he is not fooled and he will take the X Division Championship from him.

As he and Reno Scum leave, Johnny Swinger shows up and says that they could have been a great team, then says he wants to face him for the X Division title to get more fans.

We see a vignette from #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Joseph P. Ryan), where Joseph P. Ryan is supposed to be a safe space, but it is ruined by the toxic masculinity of The Deaners, who will be cancelled next week. We then see The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) on their farm. Cody Deaner doesn't seem to know why Cancel#Culture wants to cancel him, and has no idea why he is cancelled or what "cancelled" even means. All Cody knows is that he has to beat Joseph P. Ryan.

Sami Callihan hacks the show, who says that he is in the mood for isolation due to the state of the world and the Internet, and refuses to answer questions about his actions, saying it is for him to know and us to find out. He also says that being put in a match with Ken Shamrock is part of his plan and that he has a plan for everything, and that blood will be on Impact management's hands. He then says that he sees all and will be taking over everything.

Rhino and Sabu beat oVe (Dave Crist and Madman Fulton) in an Old School Rules Match. During the match, Dave Crist hits Rhino with a low blow. When the referee yells at him for it, Dave shoves the referee to the mat, then grabs a steel chair only to have it taken away from him by the referee when he is about to strike Rhino with it. Dave throws a fist at the referee, but the referee ducks and Rhino hits Dave with a Gore for the win following a fast count by the referee.

Backstage, Su Yung climbs into a coffin and teleports into the Undead Realm. In the Undead Realm, Su Yung grabs a noose, then finds Havok and Father James Mitchell in the torture chamber. Mitchell states that since Havok and Rosemary could not play well with each other, one of them has to go and it has to be Su Yung. Su Yung and Havok fight each other with a sword and a crowbar, respectively, but Rosemary is able to grab the noose and choke Havok out. Suddenly, a man in a black mask breaks free of his bindings and hits Su Yung with a baseball bat. As the man is about to finish her off, Su Yung cuts him down with the sword and threatens to kill Mitchell before Havok wraps the noose around Su Yung's neck. Su Yung hits Havok with a crowbar, then gets the noose off as Havok grabs a hook. She takes the hook to Su Yung's mouth, but Rosemary locks in the Mandible Claw and is about to kill Havok with the sword when Mitchell congratulates her. As he says that Su Yung proved herself and that Havok is a disgrace, Mitchell then says it is time to remove them both from her life, and Mitchell's minions grab them both and send them into the Undead Realm. Before they know it, Su Yung and Havok are now in a seemingly endless desert area.

Michael Elgin and Taya Valkyrie beat Tessa Blanchard and Eddie Edwards.

In the Undead Realm, Su Yung and Havok are met by Rosemary, who offers to help them against Father James Mitchell if they trust her one more time. They do, and they teleport back into the Undead Realm before she goes back to partying. Father James Mitchell is surprised to see Su Yung and Havok and says both of them passed the test and earned his respect. Su Yung grabs her dagger, but Havok takes it away only to stab Father James Mitchell herself. Father James Mitchell soon ends up in Heaven, where a kitten and Abyss dressed in white with a bag of thumbtacks awaits him, and Mitchell ends the show by saying "Who booked this shit?"
