The go home show for Bound for Glory! I feel like Impact at the Hard Rock Hotel would look cool. It's giving me WCW 2001 vibes. The Great Muta over Chris Sabin is fine, and I've liked how you've built Bully/Muta. Should be fun. The weigh in is perfect for Ethan Carter's character as embarrassing Jeff Jarrett would be right up his alley. Kenny King has been solid as X Division Champion. I expected a gauntlet type match at BFG. Considering Sting rarely competes at this point, he maybe should have gone on last. The countout finish worked. Magnus with Vegas showgirls? Somewhere, Mickie James is pissed. Basic interview piece, and I enjoy what you've done with Magnus. I don't see him retaining at BFG though. The School of Hard Knux is a name that always makes me giggle but they seem like a legit team. Referee decision reversal isn't something you see everyday so kudos on that move. Makes the Progeny really seem like badasses. Kong/Flash is a match I'd pay to see. Ivelisee has been great in the Anti-Knockouts role. Kong getting a title shot in her home is a big deal. I can see her winning, but I've always wanted Flash to eventually turn on Ivelisse and overthrow her. Samoa Joe over Bobby Roode? Does that mean Joe should have won the BFG Series? I do think it's good that Roode still stood tall so he doesn't look bad. Another solid show and BFG should be excellent.

Bound for Glory on Oct. 12, 2014 @ Tokyo, JP. — LIVE on Pay-Per-View Following the copyright signature at the beginning of the show, we dive straight into a video package which highlights all of tonight's scheduled bouts. The video is shot entirely in black and white except for the closing frame which shows TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus holding the title belt high with the title gold but the rest of the frame in greyscale. We then cut to inside of the super no capacity Korakuen Hall in Tokyo where Taz and Mike Tenay are situated at ringside in the commentator's booth, the pair of them both wearing tuxedos. They quickly run over tonight's card before we get the show on the road!
1.) Kenny King defends the TNA X-Division Championship in a Gauntlet match. The rules of this one were that 2 competitors started off in the ring before someone else entered the contest every 90 seconds, with the only way to eliminate your opponent is by throwing them over the top rope and both feet touching the floor. Once there are only 2 men left, the winner is then decided via pinfall or submission. Alex Shelley and Japan's own Tajiri started things off here. The crowd were very familiar with both competitors and so it was a wise call for them to enter first. Next out was Rockstar Spud (#3), who is still riding a wave of momentum following ending Ethan Carter III's undefeated streak a few weeks back on Impact Wrestling. Chris Sabin (#4) was next out and he actually worked with former friend-turned-enemy Alex Shelley in an attempt to eliminate Spud but after it backfired, Sabin soon laid Shelley out. The Motor City Machineguns reunion was cool whilst it lasted, I guess. The roar of a tiger plays across the Korakuen Hall before Ultimate Tiger (#5) enters the ring via a springboard dropkick, taking down both Spud and Sabin. DJ Z (#6) came down next, sans Robbie E. (who, along with Brooke Tessmacher, has been cleared to return to TNA programming following their participation in CBS' The Amazing Race) and Jessie Godderz). "The King of the Night" X-Division Champion, Kenny King (#7) comes running to the ring next as he hands his title belt to ring announcer Christy Hemme before sliding into the ring and joining in on the action as Taz notes that we have still have to see a single elimination. It appears Taz spoke too soon as the monstrous Brian Cage (#8) slowly makes his way to the ring as the Japanese crowd at ringside stare at him in awe of his sheer size. Cage wastes no time in racking up the eliminations as he eliminates both DJ Z and Ultimate Tiger over the top rope. Spud goes toe-to-toe with Cage before firing away at him although it has little to no effect on Cage, who has almost a 100lb weight advantage over little Spud. Cage knees Spud in the gut and sends him down to the floor but it should be noted that Spud didn't go over the top rope but instead through the middle rope. As Cage then begins to stomp a mudhole in Alex Shelley in the corner, the timer hits 0:00 once again and Low-Ki (#9) comes running down the ramp. Low-Ki is able to eliminate Tajiri, despite a valiant effort from the Tokyo resident. Kenny King then eliminates Chris Sabin. Manik (#10) is the final competitor to join the action and he uses his freshness to his advantage as he sends Shelley, who has been in the match from the get-go, over to the top rope with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Manik then goes for a Hurricanrana on Cage but it's blocked as he drops the masked crusader with a wicked Powerbomb! Cage then looks to do the same to Low-Ki but he attempts to fight out of it by hammering away at Cage with punches to the head before then attempting to Hurricanrana Cage over the top rope! He tries but he is unable to get anywhere until Kenny King and Low-Ki both assist him in sending the big man over and out to the floor below! Manik attempts to capitlize on Ki being on the ring apron but Low-Ki blocks his attack, slides back into the ring before then sending Manik crashing down to the floor too! With just King and Low-Ki left, both men clash as Taz reminds us that the only way to win now is via pinfall or submission. Low-Ki seems to forget this as he sends Kenny King crashing down to the floor! The bell doesn't ring, however, and the announce team believe it's because the referee knows that Low-Ki didn't pin or submit King when suddenly Rockstar Spud slides back into the ring! "Oh my God, Taz, we totally forgot! Rockstar Spud was never eliminated! He went through the middle rope and not the top!", Mike Tenay yells down his headset! Low-Ki is celebrating his win when Spud quickly grabs him in a headlock and runs up the turnbuckle, connecting with the Underdog to pick up the win here and win the X-Division Championship! We have a new champion!
Spud cannot believe it as the official hands him the title, raising his hand as Spud begins to break down in tears! The Brit leaves the ring and heads up the rampway raising his title belt high above himself as Low-Ki begins to come around back inside the squared circle, looking absolutely furious! Taz notes that Low-Ki must be livid at how Rockstar Spud surprised not only him--but the World here tonight!
We cut to the backstage area where broadcast colleague Jeremy Borash is standing by with Gunner and Abyss. We are just moments away from the pair squaring off against The Progeny, Birch and Bram, in a tag team Monster's Ball match. Gunner says that he and Abyss may not have been teaming together very long but that won't stop them out there tonight as the Monster's Ball is Abyss' speciality and it's gonna get brutal!
A video package then rolls, recapping Birch and Bram's TNA debut back at Slammiversary during Abyss' match against Samoa Joe. The video recaps The Progeny's disrespect of Abyss between June and September when Abyss had finally had enough and turned on the pair. For weeks after, The Progeny continuously outnumbered Abyss until Gunner, who wasn't happy to just stand by and watch the 2-on-1, came to Abyss' aid!
2.) Abyss and Gunner vs. The Progeny (Birch & Bram) in a Monster's Ball match. This tag match turned out to be absolutely brutal as the sadistic duo of Bram and Birch seemed to love every moment of the Monster's Ball match. Abyss and Gunner worked well together as a team despite only tagging together one time prior to this. The highlight of this one was probably Abyss connecting with a huge Chokeslam on Bram, sending him down onto a barbed wire board but he wasn't able to pick up the win as Birch was on-hand to break up the pin attempt. In the end-up, after eliminating Gunner from the ring, Birch pinned Abyss after a spear through a table.
The Progeny crawl around the ring like animals before getting to their feet as the arena lights dim. The pair then stand over Abyss victorious as Mike Tenay sends it to the back...
Bad Influence, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian, are standing alongside Jeremy Borash ahead of challenging The Wolves and The School of Hard Knox for Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards' TNA World Tag Team Championships. The pair seem as confident as always about leaving victorious here tonight the 3-time TNA World Tag Team Championships. Kazarian heads off, leaving Daniels to sip his Martini before he too leaves.
The Great Muta is shown walking through the halls as we hear the live crowd inside the arena cheer. Taz talks over Muta walking down the hall, leading us into a video package recapping Muta being inducted into TNA Wrestling's Hall of Fame last night by "The Icon" Sting in a special ceremony here in Tokyo. The package finishes with a photo of Muta standing alongside Sting, a fellow TNA Hall of Famer.
3.) The Great Muta (W-1) vs. Bully Ray (TNA) in an Interpromotional Grudge match. There's been alot of build to this one, dating back to TNA's Lockdown event in Miami where Muta sprayed green mist into the eyes of Bully Ray, prompting Bully to go on a hunt for Muta in a bid to get this match with him. It may have taken the better part of a year but Bully Ray was finally granted his wish here tonight against the iconic Japanese wrestling legend just 24 hours following Muta's induction into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame. Not a technical classic but it was an entertaining match and it was great to see Muta in action on American pay-per-view in 2014. Despite several close calls for Bully Ray here, it was to be Muta's night as he picked up the win with the Shining Wizard, a move that he innovated around 6 minutes in to loud applause from the crowd.
"The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy is shown standing by in the back alongside Jeremy Borash. JB asks Jeff for his thoughts on his upcoming Ladder match against Austin Aries where the winner will earn the right to challenge for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship whenever they please. Jeff says that Ladder matches are his speciality and that Aries doesn't know what he got himself in for tonight.
TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves--Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards--are shown making their way down the hall backstage just moments prior to their title defense against the two top teams in the Impact Wrestling tag division when suddenly Rebel appears. She is all smiles as she tells The Wolves to enjoy walking down the ramp with the title belts around their waits... her smile immediately changes to a blank face as she tells Davey and Eddie that it'll be their last time doing so!
4.) The Wolves (Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards) defend the TNA World Tag Team Championships vs. The School of Hard Knox (Hanson & Knux with Rebel) and Bad Influence (Kazarian & Christopher Daniels). Great contest here that saw Bad Influence and The Wolves, who are former rivals, working together in an attempt to try and work over the much bigger duo of Knux and Hanson, who had the lovely Rebel in their corner, as always. Making quick tags between them allowed for Eddie, Davey, Daniels and Kazarian to stay fresh and stop Knux from tagging in Hanson. When Kazarian tagged himself in from Eddie Edwards and attempted to steal the win over Knux, The Wolves realised that their short-lived alliance was over and now it was truly every team for themselves. Hanson looked fantastic out there, showing that he is the real MVP of his team with Knux, as he almost picked up the win over Richards after almost knocking Davey's head off with a Bicycle Kick when Davey attempted a springboard attack. In the end, The Wolves, to the surprise of everyone, proved why they are the best tag team going in the World today when Eddie pinned Kazarian following their Powerbomb/Backstabber combination.
After a hug between Davey and Eddie, the camera shows a livid Rebel, who is leading both Hanson and Knux up the ramp, telling them to leave it for another day. The Wolves raise their tag titles high in the air. In the back, TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus is shown lacing up his boots in the back when Jeremy Borash enters the room. Magnus asks JB if he forgot how to knock and who the hell gave him permission to even enter the champ's locker room. Before Borash is able to respond, Magnus tells him that he'll give him the interview that he wants. He talks about how he is the longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion in history and tonight, he's going to beat both Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe, jetting back out of this hellhole country on his private jet ASAP. Magnus ushers Borash out of the room, where he then bumps into a passing Austin Aries. JB asks Aries for his thoughts on his match with Jeff Hardy up next. After a brief staredown between Aries and Magnus, the champ shuts his locker room door. Aries ignores Borash, instead continuing to head down the hall.
5.) Jeff Hardy vs. Austin Aries in a Ladder match for a future TNA World Heavweight Championship match. A thrilling Ladder match here between Austin Aries and Jeff Hardy, who is arguably the man most synonymously attached to the Ladder match stipulation in a fast-paced encounter here that the Japanese crowd were thoroughly in to. With the added bonus of the winner earning a future shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, both Aries and Hardy, having previously held the World Title, were determined to leave here with the contract for a title shot with the hope of capturing the World Title again down the line. In one of the spots of the night, Jeff was standing atop of the ladder as Aries was down on the ringside floor. Instead of retrieving the contract, Hardy dived off the ladder and down to the ringside area, taking out Aries! Despite this, Jeff appeared to have hurt himself more than he did Aries, which allowed for A Double to eventually retrieve the contract folowing a battle atop of the ladder between both men!
The official raises the hand of Aries, who rolls under the bottom rope and staggers up the rampway, clutching the contract for a shot at the World Championship close to himself.
In a pre-taped backstage segment, Sting talks about his return to Impact Wrestling after a long hiatus, setting up tonight's match against James Storm.
6.) James Storm vs. Sting. The crowd in attendance were absolutely thrilled to see "The Icon" Sting in action here tonight as he went up against "Cowboy" James Storm in a match that came about after Storm interrupted Sting's return to Impact Wrestling a few weeks back, only for Sting to lay Storm out with the Scorpion Death Drop. A fun match here as Sting proved that he is still able to hang with the rest of them, however, he did seem a bit worn out at times here given his lack of in-ring action this year, having not been since on TNA programming since last December. Storm looked ready to wrap things up as he went for the Last Call superkick but Sting was able to block it by catching Storm's leg, spinning him around and pulling him back into the Scorpion Death Drop! Sting covered and the referee counted to 3, totally oblivious to Storm's right leg being under the bottom rope.
Sting celebrates his win with most of his facepaint worn off his face. We then cut to the back where Ethan Carter III and Katrina are standing by with Jeremy Borash. Carter touches on former assistant Rockstar Spud winning the X-Division Championship earlier, complaining that Spud winning gold before him is further proof that TNA management are out to get him because he is a Carter. EC3 says that Jeff Jarrett is nothing more than a piece of dirt on the bottom of his really expensive Gucci loafers and tonight, he's going to take great pleasure in defeating Jarrett. Carter then dedicates tonight's match to his Aunt Dixie.
Jeff Jarrett is shown putting his entrance gear on in the back and picking up his trusty guitar when Jeremy Borash appears for a word. Jarrett says that he may not be in his prime like Ethan Carter III but he still has it and he's going to teach Carter a thing or two out there tonight about respect.
Elsewhere, Ethan Carter III is with Katrina when the cameraman asks him for his thoughts. Carter says that not only did Jeff Jarrett remove his Aunt, Dixie Carter from TNA but he also cost Carter his undefeated streak and allowed Rockstar Spud to pin him a few weeks back. Carter can't wait to wipe the floor with Jarrett the has-been. EC3 says he cannot wait for Jarrett to be his bitch after tonight!
A video package highlights the Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett feud and how we have reached this point.
7.) Jeff Jarrett vs. Ethan Carter III (with Katrina) in a Loser Becomes the Winner's Personal Assistant. Jarrett proved here tonight that he does, infact, still have it as he was able to hold his own out there with the rising star that is Ethan Carter III. Carter was out here tonight for some retribution not only for his Aunt Dixie but also for himself to avenge his recent loss to former friend Rockstar Spud after Jarrett cost Carter not only the match but his 11-month undefeated streak. Katrina was constantly getting involved here, choking Jarrett on the ropes when the referee wasn't looking and slapping him at any given opportunity. Eventually, Double J had enough and blocked her slap attempt, teasing hitting her. This kind of tease would have went down well back in North America but it didn't translate well to the Japanese crowd, who sat in silence. EC3 came to Katrina's aid just in the nick of time. Carter looked to use Jarrett's guitar on him, despite the referee pleading, however, Jarrett dodged it and the guitar shattered on the turnbuckle! Double J quickly rolled up Carter but he kicked out at 2.9 before Ethan went right back on the offensive, eventually putting Jeff away with the One Percenter at the 9 minute mark. Jarrett needs to be Carter's personal assistant! Jarrett needs to be Carter's assistant!
Katrina enters the ring and jumps into the arms of Carter before the pair then order the official to raise both their hands! Once Jarrett gets to his feet, he realises what now has to happen. Carter and Katrina are both smug as Jarrett holds the middle rope down for the pair to leave, at the orders of Ethan.
"The It Factor" Bobby Roode is shown in the backstage area standing by with Jeremy Borash ahead of the 3-way match against Magnus and Samoa Joe for Magnus' TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Samoa Joe crashes the interview, reminding Bobby that he pinned him 1-2-3 just 3 nights ago on Thursday night's Impact Wrestling. Joe says that he will be the one leaving here with the gold--not Roode or Magnus.
8.) Ivelisse (with Alyssa Flash) defends the TNA Knockouts Championship vs. Awesome Kong. Time for some Knockout's action now as Ivelisse put her gold on the line against a former 2x Knockouts Champion in the amazon, Awesome Kong. Ivelisse certainly lived up to her self-proclaimed "baddest bitch in Impact Wrestling" moniker as she wasn't afraid of Kong, instead taking the fight to her and doing whatever she could to take the giant Kong off her feet. The official ended up ejecting Flash from ringside but with his back turned, he missed Kong covering Ivelisse following an Implant Buster. The distraction proved to work in Ivelisse's favour as a mysterious Asian-looking woman entered the ring, whacking Kong with a pair of brass knucks! Kong staggered before finally going down after a second punch. The woman left the ring as Ivelisse covered for the 3!
It's not long before Alyssa is back at ringside to celebrate Ivelisse's victory as she helps her friend get back on both feet. We finally get a good look at the mystery woman and it is Mia Yim! Taz and Mike Tenay don't comment on it being Mia Yim, so it's likely she will get a new ring name in the coming weeks. The trio raise each other's hands.
A video package promoting this Thursday night's episode of Impact Wrestling, broadcasting LIVE from Bethlehem, PA. at 9/8c on Spike!
We see a 3-way split screen of Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus all making their way down the hallway backstage in their entrance gear. Our main event for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is NEXT!
A video package plays, dating back to Magnus screwing both Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe out of past title shots. The video package then takes in the Bound for Glory Series and how Roode and Joe made it to the finals with their time limit draw before Magnus then interfered in their rematch, leading to tonight's 3-way match for the title belt.
9.) Magnus defends the TNA World Heavyweight Championship vs. Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe. It's finally time for the moment we've all been waiting for as the 3 top competitors in Impact Wrestling took to the ring for Magnus' TNA World Heavyweight title in a 3-way bout. All competitors gave it their all here. In the early going, Magnus spent time on the ringside floor, leaving Roode and Joe to go at it alone as he watched on comfortably from the outside. After Joe hit Roode with the Muscle Buster early on, Magnus quickly entered the ring, seizing the opportunity and tossed Joe out to the floor before covering Roode but he was able to kick out at the last second! Magnus cannot believe it as he goes for the cover again, only for Roode to kick out at 2 again. From there on out, all 3 men fought tooth and nail to leave Tokyo tonight as the champ. With Roode and Joe both having had a taste of being World Champion it seemingly only made them more determined to leave with the win tonight. After almost a year of build-up, Magnus' reign as champ finally came to an end after Roode pinned him 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring after countering Magnus' attempt at the Cloverleaf and when both men got back to their feet, Magnus charged at Roode only to be scooped up onto his shoulders and planted with the Roode Bomb out of nowhere for the win!
Roode is on both knees in the centre of the ring as he is handed the TNA World Heavyweight Championship by Earl Hebner. "Bobby Roode has done it, Taz! Bobby Roode has knocked off Magnus from the top of the TNA mountain and ended his 297 day reign--the longest reign in TNA history", Mike Tenay notes. Confetti begins to fall into the ring as Roode holds the title up, the camera then cutting away to Magnus who is watching on in disbelief from the bottom of the ramp as he has both hands on his hand. Magnus begins to cry as Roode continues the celebration in the ring before Bound for Glory goes off-air.

BOUND FOR GLORY, THE WRASSLEMANIA OF TEE EN AY, MAGGLE! HAHA! LETS GET GOIN! Best choice for an opener with the X Division Championhip being on the line. Starting things off with Shelley and Tajiri was a sweet touch, but ultimately we get to see... Rockstar Spud win the title!? I'm not entirely sure of it, but, I'll give it a chance I suppose. Underdog much? A little bit surprised to see The Progeny defeat Abyss and Gunner, but I think it was in the best interest of keeping the newer tandum with some momentum at the same time... plus, Abyss doesn't really need wins at this stage of his TNA career I suppose. The Great Muta versus Bully Ray! ITSGOINDOWNFORRREEALLL. Obvious victory for Muta to get the victory, especially in Japan, as Bully Ray has been building this feud single-handedly for months now, with the obvious direction being the entire time that Muta was going to get the big win after being inducted in to the TNA Hall of Fame. Good triple threat tag team match to follow things and The Wolves retaining, especially with a pin on Bad Influence, was great for them. Glad they kept the belts and I look forward to where they go from here. Austin Aries beats Jeff Hardy and gets himself a future TNA World Title shot, which was for the best. Jeff doesn't need the win over Aries at the moment and I see a face walking out with the belt later on... next, Sting gets the win over James Storm but we have controversy with the foot underneath the rope going unnoticed. I think that'll obviously be a set up for Sting and Storm to continue their feud, that or just cause Storm to be a total d-bag about things with Sting possibly going away? We'll see. Good match coming up next with Ethan Carter III managing to beat Jeff Jarrett after all their spat. I liked the note of the Japan crowd not understanding Double J threatening to hit a woman. Surprised by Ivelisse's Knockout Championship being retained, but with the debut of Mia Yim - fittingly in Japan - it makes some sense. Jaded Bitch! SeewhatIdidthere? Finally, we get to the main event and as I have been expecting, Bobby Roode gets the ultimate victory as he gets to pin Magnus and beat Samoa Joe in order to become the TNA World Champion, a fitting and rightful ending. Magnus crying like a bitch is great and this was a good Bound For Glory show, even if it took you forever to post it ya bloke.

I've been waiting for Bound for Glory for a long time now. The black and white opening video is a nice touch. Opening with the Gauntlet match is perfect. The X-Division is always a good choice for that. Tajiri and Alex Shelley were good for the Japanese crowd as the first two. Surprised but happy to see Rockstar Spud win. I'm interested in what you do with him as champion. The Progeny going over in the Monster's Ball match was for the best. They needed the rub and Abyss can provide that at this point in his career. Figured Great Muta would win. It is in Japan and he did go into the Hall of Fame. I'm mostly interested in seeing if you have Bully Ray stick around and what he does next. Loved that the Wolves retained the titles. You've built them and the tag division well. They should be the centerpiece because they are really that good. I do still love the Hard Knux team. Kudos for that one. I rather enjoyed the Ladder match and felt that Austin Aries winning was the best decision. I would love to see an Aries/EC3 feud over the World Title sometime down the line. Intriguing ending to Sting/Storm. I expected Sting to either go over clean or put Storm over before eventually leaving the company. This finish leads me to believe Sting will stick around, which I'm fine with. I dug the write up for Jeff Jarrett/Ethan Carter III. EC3 winning was excellent. As I said, he needed this after having his winning streak ended. EC3 for Champion. Seriously. Who this Asian woman? I'm trying to think of any Asian female workers that aren't currently on your roster. Big win for Ivelisse and I love the push she's getting. As I said, I want Ivelisse/Alissa Flash for the title badly. Bobby Roode capturing the TNA World Heavyweight Title was really the best way to go here. Samoa Joe is past World Champion status at this point to me, and Magnus had a really great run. The Destination America stuff should be fun too. This was a really good and strongly booked show. I hope to see this continue because it's one of my favorite diaries.

Impact Wrestling on Oct. 16, 2014@ Bethlehem, PA. — Episode #541The show comes on-air at 9/8c with a video package that recaps everything that went down just 4 nights removed at Bound for Glory on pay-per-view from the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan! The video comes to a close with "The It Factor" Bobby Roode, the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, standing tall inside the ring with the title belt as Magnus, the former champ, watches on in disbelief and in tears from outside of the ring. Following the video package, we cut to LIVE inside of the Sands Casino & Resort where Mike Tenay and Taz welcome us to the show!
The entrance music of Bobby Roode hits as our new TNA World Heavyweight Champion makes his way down to the ring in a suit and looking in one hell of a good mood. Once in the ring, Roode soaks up the crowd response for a few seconds before he goes on to talk about how great it feels to once again by TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Bobby talks about how it's been a long road to get back to the top of the mountain after Magnus constantly threw roadblocks in his way but this past Sunday at Bound for Glory, Roode was just that... "Bound for glory"! Magnus' music cuts off Roode as he comes walking down the rampway not looking as pristine as he used to when he held the World Title. Instead of his usual suit and sunglasses, he has a pair of jeans and a black vest on. Magnus seems distressed about losing the title as he rants on about how Roode got lucky in Tokyo and to enjoy the time he has with that title because it's only a matter of time before it comes back home to where it belongs when Magnus invokes his rematch clause. Roode goes to speak when suddenly Magnus clubs him across the head with the microphone in his hand. The champ falls to the mat, favouring his head as Magnus goes on the attack, unloading relentlessly on Roode! Magnus eventually gets to his feet before screaming at the referee to call for the bell and it looks as if we have an impromptu non-title bout on our hands here...
1.) TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode vs. Magnus in a non-title match ends in a No Contest. Both Magnus and Roode are relentless in this one as they go to their limits in what can only be described as an all out war. The champ takes control, taking Magnus down with a big Spinebuster as the crowd roar. Austin Aries, who defeated Jeff Hardy in a Ladder match for a future World Title shot, joins Mike Tenay and Taz on commentary. Roode goes for the Roode Bomb but Magnus rakes Roode's eyes and when Earl Hebner gets in his face for the dirty tactic, he is pie faced to the mat by Magnus! Hebner calls for the bell and throws the match out as both Bobby and Magnus continue to fight in the ring!
The referee has a hard time separating the pair as the ring bell is repeatedly rung in an attempt to try and restore some order. Eventually, security spill out and are able to separate both men as they remove Magnus from the ring as he desperately tries to break free and go after Roode. A graphic then appears on the screen as Mike Tenay notes it comes direct from The Network...
"Wow! The Network certainly know how to book a pro wrestlin' show!", exclaims Taz. The camera cuts to Austin Aries, who is now standing up behind the announcers booth as he stares down at the ringside area where Magnus and Roode are, all 3 men seemingly pleased with the announcement. Mike Tenay then notes that both teams of Aries and Roode and Magnus and Joe are no strangers to teaming as they have both held the TNA World Tag Team Championships!
Commercial Break
Samoa Joe is shown heading down the hallway when Jeremy Borash appears for a word ahead of tonight's main event. Joe tells Borash that he wasn't pinned in the triple threat at Bound for Glory and so he has a lot of unfinished business.
2.) X-Division Champion, Rockstar Spud defeats Chris Sabin in a non-title match. After shocking the World this past Sunday and pinning Low-Ki in an X-Division Gauntlet to win the title belt, Spud had a tough opponent here tonight in the former 4-time X-Division Champion, Chris Sabin. Spud was able to prove that his recent wins over Ethan Carter III (in which he ended Carter's 11-month undefeated streak!) and at Bound for Glory were no fluke when he put Sabin away with the Underdog roughly 6 minutes into this one!
Spud celebrates by posing on opposite turnbuckles with the X-Division Championship to applause from the crowd as the cameras cut away to the back where Low-Ki, who thought he had the gauntlet this past Sunday won until Spud surprised him with the Unerdog, can be seen watching Spud celebrate.
Commercial Break
We return just as The Beautiful People, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky are making their signature entrance. TNA Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse then leads her stable of Anti-Knockout's to the ring as she is flanked by Alyssa Flash and the woman who interfered during Ivelisse's title defense against Awesome Kong at Bound for Glory. Ivelisse introduces us to Jade (better known as Mia Yim), who is here to fight the good fight against the TNA Knockouts alongside herself and Flash.
3.) Jade (with The Anti-Knockout's) defeats Madison Rayne (with Velvet Sky). In her in-ring debut, Jade showed that she has an impressive arsenal of kicks and submission holds, which Madison found out first hand here in what was more or less a one-sided affair. Rayne attempted to fight back but she eventually found herself being laid out with a sickening package piledriver.
Jade then tosses Rayne out to the floor where Velvet checks on her friend. Flash and Ivelisse enter the ring and raise the hand of Jade before Awesome Kong's music hits! Kong comes down the rampway looking even more pissed than usual, if that is even possible, as she climbs into the ring. The Anti-Knockout's all casually slide out of the ring just as Kong enters. The trio head up the ramp, all smiles as Ivelisse then raises the title belt high whilst Jade and Flash point at it.
In the parking lot, Ethan Carter III has his arm around Katrina as the pair head inside of the arena. "Hurry up with our bags!", yells Carter before the camera turns around to reveal Jeff Jarrett carrying the bags of Katrina and EC3. The pair laugh.
Commercial Break
"Cowboy" James Storm comes storming down the rampway unannounced but I'm pretty sure we all know why he's out here tonight. Storm talks about how for nearly 15 years, TNA management have underutilized him but this past Sunday night in Bound for Glory was the icing on the cake. He then asks for referee Brian Hebner to come down to ringside. After a few seconds, Hebner comes to the ring and he asks Storm what he called him out here for. Storm asks Hebner if he suffers from bad eyesight or just a general lack of common sense. He begins to berate Brian, telling him that his 2-year old kid could even have seen his foot being under the bottom rope when Sting pinned him on Sunday. Storm asks for the footage to be shown on the screen before he continues to ask for it to be replayed... again... again... and again. Storm grabs ahold of Hebner by the collar and asks if Sting paid him. "Neither Brian nor Earl Hebner are having much luck here tonight in Bethlehem! Ha!", laughs Taz. Storm ends up letting go of Hebner before telling him to get the hell out of his ring. Just as Hebner goes to leave, he is stopped in his tracks as Storm calls on him. "Hey, Brian.. before you go...", he says. Hebner turns around and almost has his front teeth knocked down his throat with a vicious Last Call superkick! The crowd boo Storm as he yells down the microphone that he demands a rematch with Sting and until Sting shows face, this will be the outcome week after week. Storm drops the mic and leaves.
Commercial Break
Jeremy Borash is at the interview area backstage with Austin Aries, who will be in tag team action later tonight in our main event. Aries brags about beating Jeff Hardy in a Ladder match this past Sunday to earn a shot at the World Title. He notes his past with Bobby Roode and how tonight, he's going out there for himself.
4.) TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Brian Cage and Ultimate Tiger in a non-title match. The makeshift duo of Tiger and Cage work surprisingly well here as Cage uses his power and Tiger his speed to keep on top of the tag champs. Taz noted that we will see a mini tag team tournament to determine the new number one contenders to face The Wolves. Davey and Eddie showed exactly why they are the tag champs after pinning Tiger following a Powerbomb/Backstabber combination.
As Richards and Edwards celebrate with their title belts, Rebel cuts them off by leading out Hanson and Knux to the top of the ramp. She says that it's criminal her boys have to earn the right to a title shot when they weren't even pinned this past Sunday night but she promises The School of Hard Knox will win the titles!
Commercial Break
A quick montage recaps The Great Muta being inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame.
Accompanied by Katrina and Jeff Jarrett, Ethan Carter III makes his way to the ring ahead of his scheduled singles match against Kazarian. Jarrett does not look one bit happy as he is now contractually obliged to be Carter's assistant after losing to him this past Sunday at Bound for Glory. Ethan orders Jarrett to hold the ring ropes down for himself and Katrina to enter the ring. Carter cuts a promo about how great it feels to have proved not just Jeff Jarrett wrong--but the entire world wrong when he pinned Double J 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring in Korakuen Hall at Bound for Glory. He says that it felt great gaining a measure of revenge over Jarrett for taking control of Impact Wrestling from his Aunt Dixie. Carter brags about how Jarrett must do whatever Carter says or else he will be FIRED and then who will put food on the table for Jarrett and his family? Katrina adds insult to injury by laughing and mocking Jeff, telling him that he is the Carter family bitch!
5.) Ethan Carter III (with Katrina & Jeff Jarrett) defeats Kazarian (with Christopher Daniels). After coming up short in a 3-way for the TNA World Tag Team Championships at Bound for Glory, Kazarian was looking to avenge his and Daniels loss with a win here tonight over Carter, which would have, quite frankly, been one hell of an upset. Kazarian did put up a fight as he and Ethan worked a fantastic match-up here but EC3 was just too damn good and continues to be on a roll as he picked up the W after spiking Kazarian with the One Percenter.
The official is ordered by Carter to raise his hand as Jarrett and Katrina both enter the ring. Mike Tenay notes that Bad Influence will meet Carter and Jarrett in the tag team tournament to determine number one contenders. Suddenly, Carter attacks Christopher Daniels, who was busy checking on his partner. Katrina leaves the ring as EC3 then whispers something in the ear of Jarrett, who shakes his head at whatever Ethan just suggested. Carter reminds Jarrett that he is his assistant and must do whatever he says just as Katrina enters the ring with a guitar! She hands the guitar to Ethan who then hands it to Jarrett as the boyfriend/girlfriend duo then take a step back, allowing a reluctant Double J to size up Daniels with the guitar. He blasts the guitar over the head of Daniels before then tossing it aside and turning his back on Carter, looking frustrated. EC3 and Katrina both applaud Jarrett before the trio then head up the rampway and out of sight. "EC3 is having fun with being Jarrett's boss... but how far is too far?", questions Tenay.
Commercial Break
A video promotes Final Resolution, a pay-per-view themed episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on November 13, only on Spike. It wasn't noted in the video but this will, according to Dave Meltzer, apparently be the final show on Spike before Impact's move to Destination America, starting January 7.
6.) World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries defeat Magnus and Samoa Joe. In our main event for this live broadcast, former tag partners reunited for tag team action here. Magnus and Joe held the TNA World Tag Team Championships back in February 2012 whilst Aries and Roode held them in February 2013 and so both teams are familiar with working together, however, the tensions were running high here and so neither team was fully co-operating. Roode looked on fire tonight, proving why he is arguably the best in the world today and the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Joe hits Aries with the Muscle Buster and covers but A Double isn't the legal man and instead Bobby surprises Joe with the Roode Bomb to pick up the win for his team!
Post-match, Roode celebrates with the World Championship as the camera shows Magnus backing up the ramp, not looking impressed. Aries stands alongside Roode in the centre of the ring--but not to celebrate their victory! Instead, Austin lets Bobby know that he has is coming for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship before he leaves the ring and heads to the back. © 2014 TNA Entertainment, LLC. All rights reserved.

Impact, post-Bound For Glory! This is, obviously, going to be important... and we start off with Bobby Roode, the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion as we should. He gets his moment cut short by Magnus, though, who will obviously want his title back. The match going to a no contest thanks to Austin Aries, setting us up a ig main event as Aries and Roode will take on Magnus and Samoa Joe. Looking forward to it. Rockstar Spud defeats Chris Sabin in a non-title match. You're still going to have to sell me on the underdog of Spud being the X Division Champion... seeing Low-Ki potentially be his first rival or next match up might be able to help. Jade getting a win in her in-ring debut was clear as day. Awesome Kong will want a piece of all them bitches, but not getting her hands on them yet was for the best. James Storm is PISSED. He is MAD. He is ANGRY. He wants STAAANGGG. A kick to Brian Hebner was sweet, plays up to the hero type of character Sting is supposed to be and not being htere to stop it and Storm will probably stop at nothing to get back at him, greatfully. The Wolves, the TNA Tag Team Champions, going over Brian Cage and Ultimate Tiger. Not shocking in the slightest. I'm not a big fan on Hanson and Knux still but, I'm fine with them getting a shot at The Wolves further on. Jeff Jarrett is The Carter Family BITCH!? Well, shucks. That hurts. EC3 beating Kazarian was good for him... using Double J to use his guitar on Daniels was great and having him be the bitch of EC3 is going to be enjoyable stuff. Finally, we get a good main event with Bobby Roode and Austin Aries getting the win over Samoa Joe and Magnus... Aries turning on Roode afterward was a perfect ending, as he will get a title shot down the road, so putting him in the place to do that was very nice. A good post-BFG show.

The opening to Impact was cool. I liked the tease of Magnus/Bobby Roode leading to the tag team match was a nice touch. Rockstar Spud <3. I assume a Spud/King program is coming since he gets a rematch. You brought in Mia Yim? And to join the Anti-Knockouts? You're a beautiful man. I love Madison Rayne but a win for Jade was good. Awesome Kong is still feuding with them I guess. EC3 and Jarrett stuff was funny. Good segment by James Storm. Keeps heat on him for the not so clean loss. The team of Ultimate Tiger and Brian Cage is on that I actually like. Great promo from EC3. The win for him was obvious. Looking forward to Final Resolution and the eventual Destination America move. Surprised to see Samoa Joe eat the pin. Expected Magnus to get pinned but still fine. Another solid episode of Impact.

IMPACT Wrestling after BFG, let's do this! A good opening promo exchange between Roode and Magnus, and a nice tease of a match between the two. The eventual match between these two should be on PPV. A huge tag team main event tonight, should be good. A good win for Rockstar Spud, push him please. Mia Yim? I see you brought her in as Jade. A good debut for her over Madison Rayne. Awesome Kong versus The Anti-Knockouts should be a good fun. A good promo from Storm, please push him. A good win for The Wolves over the random pairing of Brian Cage and Ultimate Tiger. I hope you have big plans with Cage, he has a good look that could carry TNA in the future. The School of Hard Knox are a good team, I like them. A good promo from EC3, and an obvious win for him. A good main event match, hopefully the Roode/Magnus feud continues into Final Resolution. Can't wait to see where you take this as you head to Destination America.

Jord 2015 has been a crazy year for me and its not done yet. I'll get this long overdue reply in before the Mrs drops she's currently close to 2 weeks over her due date! Another reason for my lack of activity on here recently...
Anyways Bound for Glory
In all honesty thought the show took a while to really get going. Gauntlet would have been a decent opener the decision to go with Spud in my opinion is a little rushed. The division is coming together well and can be built well round Spud, King, Low Ki and the former MCMG.
Bully deserves a little more than putting Muta over in 6 minutes. Surprised you kept the titles on the Wolves but agree with the decision 100%.
From the 5th match on the show really kicked off. Hardy/Aries was probably match of the night, you got the winner right again. Storm/Sting and Jarrett/ECIII were good matches but nitpicking not a fan of Storm having his leg under the rope or the stipulation to Jarretts match this is BFG the culmination of the year the matches on the card well the top matches on the card should bring closure.
Bobby Roode finally regained the title this has been on the cards for a while but that's fine and you did well to add the late doubt by introducing Joe, the addition of Joe didn't feel forced either so you deserve credit for that.
First half of the card was decent second half of the card was really good which I suppose is how I show should work. Also there are some decent stories coming out of the biggest event of the year.

Impact Wrestling on Oct. 23, 2014@ Bethlehem, PA. — Episode #542Mike Tenay and Taz do their usual introductions before hyping tonight's scheduled card. The pair put over the 8-team tournament set-up by The Network, starting tonight to determine new number one contenders to The Wolves and the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Without any further ado, let's get right into it...
1.) Abyss and Gunner defeat The BroMans (Jessie Godderz & DJ Z) in the Tag Team Rush tournament. Opening round of this tournament to determine who will challenge The Wolves down the line for the tag straps pits The BroMans up against the much bigger team of Abyss and Gunner, who appear to be sticking around as a duo following their loss to The Progeny at Bound for Glory. Godderz and DJ Z try their best here but it just wasn't to be as Gunner and Abyss pick up some much needed momentum after Gunner makes DJ Z tap out to the Gun Rack.
Austin Aries is shown making his way down the hallway towards ringside...
Commercial Break
Back in the Sands Casino & Resort, the music of Austin Aries blasts throughout as he makes his way down the ramp clutching the contract that guarantees him a future shot at Bobby Roode's TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Aries gets on the microphone and cuts right to the chase, saying that he wants a shot at Roode and the World Title in 3 weeks time at Final Resolution. Samoa Joe's theme cuts Aries off as he comes down to ringside. Joe reminds Aries that not only did he have him beat last Thursday night 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring--but he also wasn't the one pinned at Bound for Glory to lose the three way match as Roode pinned Magnus instead. Joe says that if anyone deserves a title shot then it's him.
The former TNA World Heavyweight Champ, Magnus appears at the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand as he tells both Aries and Joe to calm down and get back in line. He reveals that he is evoking his rematch clause for a shot at Roode and the title belt and he will face Bobby in 3 weeks time at Final Resolution! Aries and Joe both look on pissed as Magnus gloats. Bobby Roode himself finally makes an appearance. Roode says that being the World Champion means representing TNA and Impact Wrestling. Bobby welcomes all challengers, whether that be Magnus, Joe or Aries. "It doesn't really matter", he states. Roode tells the trio that he is the best in the World today and after he beats Magnus at Final Resolution in his first title defense, the floor will be wide open for Aries and Joe to get a shot but it will always be the same outcome... and that is "The It Factor" standing victorious as the show goes off-air! Roode raises his championship gold above his head as Aries, Joe and Magnus all watch on.
Commercial Break
Jeremy Borash is standing by at the interview area with Rockstar Spud, who has the X-Division Championship hung over his shoulder. Before Spud can go on for long, Low-Ki appears and reminds Spud that he had the Gauntlet match at Bound for Glory won before Spud stole his glory. Ki is willing to put it behind him but that's strike 1 against Rockstar Spud and that there better not be a strike 2!
2.) Kenny King defeats Alex Shelley. After losing his X-Division Championship eleven nights prior to Rockstar Spud in a gauntlet match, Kenny King looked to regain some momentum and get back on track here against Alex Shelley, who is no stranger to facing King. Both men are faces, however, that didn't stop them from having a competitive match here that was hard to tell who would walk out victorious tonight. Shelley had things going his way but after he spent too much time playing to the crowd, King was able to get the 3 after a rolling wheel kick.
The official raises the hand of King, who goes on to celebrate with his usual dance routine. Shelley looks irritated with the loss as King offers a handshake. Alex hesitates as the crowd chant for him to accept it. Instead, Shelley exits the ring and heads to the locker room area, rejecting the handshake...
Commercial Break
3.) Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) defeat Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett (with Katrina) in the Tag Team Rush Tournament. With Jarrett still the assistant of Carter after losing to him back at Bound for Glory, it was clear tonight that Ethan was still having fun being in control of Double J. After ordering Jeff last week to break a guitar over the head of Daniels following EC3's singles victory over Kazarian, it was clear that Bad Influence were out for a measure of revenge here tonight in this tag match! Carter was wise and stayed on the apron for most of the match, forcing Double J to do all of the work. EC3 eventually hops off the apron, instead choosing to spend time with his arm around his beau Katrina, leaving Daniels to pin Jarrett following the BME and advance!
Both Katrina and EC3 act disappointed in Jarrett as they blame him for the loss. It looks as if Jarrett is about to lose his temper but he is able to hold it together as Taz wonders how long before enough is enough with Double J. We are then sent to the back as Taz understands there is some sort of commotion going on. After some shaky camera work, we see James Storm beating the living daylights out of Shark Boy! Sharky attempts to fight back but he is stopped dead in his tracks by a knee to the gut before Storm then breaks a beer bottle over his temple! Shark Boy collapses to the floor before Storm proceeds to drag him away by the feet!
Commercial Break
Mike Tenay and Taz are talking about what just went down moments ago when suddenly the crowd begin to get rowdy. The camera cuts to the entrance ramp where James Storm is dragging a lifeless Shark Boy down the ramp by the feet and then rolling him into the ring. Storm gets on the microphone and begins demanding that Sting show face! He talks about how last week he warned Sting that for every week he doesn't get his rematch, innocent people will suffer. Last week it was Brian Hebner and now this week, Shark Boy. Storm has one foot on the chest of Sharky throughout the entire segment. He gives Sting time to respond but he fails to appear for the second week running. Storm, now even more irate than before, picks Sharky up and tosses him over the top rope and out to the floor below. He slides out of the ring himself before stripping up the ringside mats and exposing the concrete arena floor in the process. Storm then goes on to spike poor Shark Boy with a Piledriver on the concrete! "James Storm is absolutely deranged! He has lost his mind! We need some EMTs out here!", shrieks Mike Tenay.
Commercial Break
An unfamiliar face is shown making his way into the arena, passing by several members of the Impact Wrestling roster. He eventually introduces himself to The Beautiful People, Madison Rayne & Velvet Sky, and Tajiri as Prince Nana. He says that the ink on his TNA contract has yet to dry and that he has come here, after years on the independent circuit, to find the next big thing.
4.) The Progeny (Birch & Bram) defeat Manik and Seiya Sanada in the Tag Team Rush Tournament. If you went into this thinking that it would be a one-sided affair with Bram and Birch dominating the X-Division duo then you would have been wrong. Sanada and Manik really held their own out there, almost having the much bigger team beaten after Sanada hit Bram with a Moonsault but Birch was on-hand to break it up just in the nick of time. Eventually, Birch picked up the win for his team after a beautiful C4 on the Japanese Sanada roughly 6 minutes in.
Commercial Break
Gail Kim makes her way to the ring and she looks like she means business. Gail gets on the mic and talks about how for so long girls like her, Traci Brooks and Jackie Moore campaigned and petitioned for a women's division here in TNA as they put their blood, sweat and tears into building it from the ground up. She says that she cannot stand by and watch as The Anti-Knockout's try and tarnish the legacy of this great division and that enough is enough! Ivelisse, with her Knockouts Title around her waist, leads out Alyssa Flash and Jade as she tells Gail to quit her whining. Ivelisse calls Gail the past and The Anti-Knockout's both the present and the future. Gail has heard enough as she knocks Ivelisse down with a forearm before she dishes the same out to Jade and Flash. Kim isn't in control for long as soon the trio take her down, putting the boots in.
Taryn Terell sprints down to the ring in a bid to even the odds. She gives it her all and together with Gail they are able to mount a little offence, however, once again the numbers game is in favour of The Anti-Knockout's as take control again. The mayhem comes to a halt as the music of Awesome Kong starts up and the monstrous Knockout slowly makes her way down to the ring. She enters the ring as champion Ivelisse slides out, leaving Jade and Flash to go after Kong but the pair's attacks have no effect on her! Taryn and Gail assist Kong in fighting Jade and Flash but miscommunication between the babyface's allow Alyssa and Jade to escape from the ring unscathed. Kong ends up laying Gail and Terrell out with a double clothesline before giving them both an Implant Buster each! Kong points at Ivelisse, who is at the top of the ramp clutching her title alongside her cohorts.
Commercial Break
The current reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards are standing by with Jeremy Borash backstage. The pair give their thoughts on the on-going Tag Team Rush tournament which will crown the new number one contenders for their title belts. The pair put over all 8 teams as being great and worthy challengers, however, nobody will be taking their titles away.
5.) The School of Hard Knox (Knux & Hanson with Rebel) defeat Eric Young and Hernandez in the Tag Team Rush Tournament. The odd pairing of Young and Hernandez give it their best shot but the experience that Knux and Hanson have in being a team proves to be the difference maker here as they advance to the next round in the Tournament after a Chokebomb from Knux to EY.
Alex Shelley is shown backstage looking frustrated taking his wrist tape off after a loss earlier tonight to Kenny King. James Storm appears and Shelley looks ready to fight him but Storm tells him to calm down as he assures Shelley that he isn't here for a fight. But instead he's here with a proposition! Cut to break...
Commercial Break
A video promotes Final Resolution, a pay-per-view themed episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on November 13, only on Spike. It wasn't noted in the video but this will, according to Dave Meltzer, apparently be the final show on Spike before Impact's move to Destination America, starting January 7.
TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode comes out and joins Mike Tenay and Taz at the announcer's booth ahead of our main event contest...
6.) Magnus defeats Austin Aries. We round off tonight's average broadcast with a stellar one-on-one singles bout between two former World Champs in Aries and Magnus. With both men looking to prove a point (and Magnus looking to pick up some much needed momentum heading into his title match against Bobby Roode at Final Resolution), all of the stops were pulled out here by both competitors. Despite them both being heels, the crowd ate it up and were more behind A Double. Aries looks to be ready to wrap things up after hitting Magnus with his signature running corner dropkick before setting him up for the Brainbuster when Samoa Joe makes an appearance at ringside and picks up the contract that entitles Aries to a future World Title shot and begins admiring it. Aries shoves Magnus aside and begins yelling at Joe from inside the ring, pointing at him over the top rope. The distraction from Joe bides Magnus enough time to get back onto both feet just as Aries turns around. Magnus charges at him but Aries dodges it and rolls Magnus up in an O'Connor Roll but Magnus kicks out before he quickly then drops Aries on the rebound from bouncing off the ropes with the Spine Shaker out of nowhere for 3!
Magnus has his arm raised in victory whilst kneeling in the centre of the ring before he gets to both feet and begins trash talking Bobby Roode from the ring about shining up the World Title for him. Magnus invites Roode into the ring and the champ has no problems joining Magnus as he tosses his suit jacket aside and slides into the ring but at the same time as Roode enters, Magnus bails and heads to the back as the show comes to a close for another week! © 2014 TNA Entertainment, LLC.

Impact Wrestling on Oct. 30, 2014 @ Bethlehem, PA. — Episode #543
With just 2 more episodes of Impact Wrestling before Final Resolution, which will be free-to-air right here on Spike, Taz and Mike Tenay are back again in Bethlehem ready to call tonight's action as it goes down! Both have Halloween-theme make-up on their faces given today's date.
Ethan Carter III and his partner Katrina kick the show off tonight with an in-ring promo. Both Mike Tenay and Taz wonder where Jeff Jarrett is, given that he has to serve as Carter's assistant following a loss to him at Bound for Glory. Carter, one of the biggest heels going on the Impact Wrestling roster today, is acting as if he loves the fans tonight with an overly-enthusiastic persona. He gets the fans to start a Jarrett chant. Carter then asks the fans in attendance to be on their feet for the arrival of the one, the only... Jeff Jarrett!
Jarrett fails to appear, despite his theme music playing and the stage filling with smoke in anticipation of his entrance. The music eventually stops before Carter does the introduction for a second time. Before long, Jarrett finally appears at the top of the ramp... dressed as a pumpkin? Katrina and EC3 are in hysterics inside the squared circle as Double J joins them in the middle of the ring. Carter tells Jarrett to liven up and get in the Halloween spirit. The duo of Ethan and Katrina are loving humiliating the founder of TNA Wrestling here tonight. EC3's enthusiastic tone of voice has soon been thrown out as he returns to his usual heel ways before long. He tells Jarrett that he is going to make his life a living hell, just like Jeff did to his Aunt Dixie. Katrina says that this is only the tip of the iceberg. She slaps Jarrett before yelling in his face, asking him what he's going to do about it! Ethan now begins ordering Double J to hold the ring ropes down for them as they're done here and Jeff has work to do for him in the back. The crowd chant for Jarrett to retaliate but he doesn't and instead obeys Carter, holding the middle rope down for the devilish pair to exit and head up the ramp to the back.
Commercial Break
1.) Kenny King and Tajiri defeat X-Division Champion, Rockstar Spud and Low-Ki. We have seen a different side to Low-Ki since Bound for Glory, where he thought he had the X-Division Title won, only to be surprised by Spud, who went on to leave Tokyo with the gold. Some miscommunication saw Spud take out Low-Ki with a missile dropkick, allowing Tajiri to send Spud flying from the ring before King put Ki away with the Royal Flush for the 1-2-3.
After King and Tajiri are done celebrating with Kenny's signature post-match dance, Spud enters the ring to check on Low-Ki, who looks furious. Spud apologizes and Ki accepts before the champ goes to leave the ring, only to be jumped from behind! Low-Ki relentlessly beats up our X-Division Champion as he lays him out with the Ki Krusher before raising the title belt!
Samoa Joe is shown arriving to the arena earlier today when Austin Aries confronts him about distracting him last week and costing him his match against Magnus. Joe tells Aries that he stands in his way between himself and the TNA World Heavyweight title. Aries challenges Joe to a match in 2 weeks time at Final Resolution and will put his contract entitling him to a future World Title match on the line! Joe grins and accepts the challenge before walking off.
Commercial Break
Jeremy Borash catches up with Low-Ki backstage for a word. Low-Ki tells him that being nice gets you nowhere in this business and that instead of just challenging Rockstar Spud for the X-Division title, he is going to TAKE the X-Division title from him!
The BroMans, Jessie Godderz & DJ Z, are in the back with the pair on FaceTime to someone but we don't see who. They are both excited about seeing whoever it is they are on the phone too, though. One can only presume that it was Robbie E. and he will be returning to programming following the wrap-up of his participation in the CBS' The Amazing Race.
2.) The School of Hard Knox (Hanson & Knux with Rebel) defeat Abyss and Gunner in the Tag Team Rush Tournament. Gunner and Abyss look good out tonight despite not long forming together as a team. However, a distraction from Rebel on the outside allowed Hanson to take Abysss out with a botched looking spin kick around the 5 minute mark.
Rebel raises the hand of her boys as the announce team wonder who will go on to face Knux and Hanson in the finals of the Tag Team Rush Tournament. Bad Influence or The Progeny?
Commercial Break
Log on to IMPACTWRESTLING.com now to cast your vote on which lovely TNA Knockout will grace the annual 2015 calendar! The cover will be revealed next week live on Spike...
Taryn Terrell makes her entrance dressed as Superwoman before Alyssa Flash does (not in costume) flanked by her Anti-Knockout buddies, Jade and Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse. The trio aren't here to play dress-up and that Terrell is everything wrong with this division.
3.) Taryn Terrell defeats Alyssa Flash (with Jade and Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse). A decent showing from both ladies here. Alyssa spends most of the match dominating but Terrell is still able to walk away victorious after rolling up Flash out of nowhere!
Taryn escapes the ring before any of The Anti-Knockout's can get their hands on her. Gail Kim joins Terrell on the ramp to raise her hand in victory. Awesome Kong appears behind Taryn and Kim, spinning Terrell round and dropping her with a spinning backfist! Gail and Kong get into a fight but it's Kong who is left standing tall after she launches Kim into the steel guardrail. Kong soon enters the ring as Ivelisse directs traffic. Jade and Alyssa charge at Kong but they are dropped as Ivelisse scatters! Jade gets dropped with an Implant Buster as Ivelisse watches on from the top of the ramp, clutching her title belt against her chest!
Commercial Break
The newest member of the Impact Wrestling roster, Prince Nana can be seen making his way through the halls backstage. He bumps into Gunner, who is holding the back of his neck following his loss earlier. Nana introduces himself to Gunner, telling him that he's new around here and comes to Impact Wrestling with one intention. He hands Gunner a business card before heading off.
"Cowboy" James Storm slowly makes his way to ringside at the top of the first hour. Storm cuts a promo on how Sting is scared of him, which is why he has refused to meet him following the Tokyo Screwjob (as Storm called it) at Bound for Glory. The Cowboy says that he has decided to take matters into his own hands, before signalling for someone in the back...
Alex Shelley comes swaggering down from the back with his Paparazzi Productions-era tripod over his shoulder. He enters the ring and shakes Storm's hand, the pair of them grinning. Alex says that when Storm came to him last week with a proposition, he just couldn't say no. Storm gets back on the microphone and asks for the guys in the truck to roll said proposition.
Some footage begins to play on the big screen, showing a woman walking down the Venice Beach, CA. boardwalk. The camera turns around, revealing Shelley being the one doing the filming as he notes that this is Sting's wife! Shelley catches up with her and begins to harass her with questions about Sting and why he is scared of meeting up and facing James Storm again.
"CUT THE DAMN FOOTAGE! CUT IT!", roars Sting as we cut back to inside the Sands Casino & Resort where Sting is now making his way to the ring in a jacket and jeans with no facepaint on. Sting says that if it's a reaction Storm and Shelley want, it's a reaction they will get! He floors Shelley with a right hand before going after Storm. Eventually, the duo of Shelley and Storm are able to get the upperhand and attempt a double clothesline but Sting breaks through their locked hands before then taking them down with a double clothesline of his own! Storm scatters from the ring, leaving Shelley to be dropped with a Scorpion Death Drop. Sting then leaves the ring in hot pursuit of the Cowboy as we fade to a commercial...
Commercial Break
4.) Bad Influence (Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) defeat The Progeny (Bram & Birch) in the Tag Team Rush Tournament. Excellent tag team action here with both teams determined to chalk another one in the win column and move on to face Rebel's boys next week in the finals of this mini-tournament. Bram and Birch continue to shine as a team as they isolate Daniels for most of this bout before he is able to tag in Kazarian, who clears house before pinning Bram after spiking him with the Fade to Black at the 7 minute mark.
Hanson, Knux and Rebel, who will meet Bad Influence next week in the Tag Team Rush Tournament finals, are shown backstage watching Daniels and Kazarian celebrating.
Jeremy Borash interviews TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode backstage. Roode is hyped ahead of his first title defense in 2 weeks time at Final Resolution against Magnus. TNA World Tag Team Champions, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards appear at the interview set and talk about their upcoming 6-man tag match with Roode against Magnus, Samoa Joe and Austin Aries.
Sting is backstage, still in pursuit of James Storm. He eventually catches up with him and the pair exchange shots before Alex Shelley blindsides Sting from behind with the tripod! He continues to use the tripod as a weapon, repeatedly ramming it into Sting. This allows Storm ample time to run off with Shelley soon following, leaving Sting downed.
Commercial Break
Ethan Carter III is in his locker room backstage with Katrina with the pair of them wondering where Jeff Jarrett is. Eventually, their personal assistant Jeff Jarrett shows face, sans the pumpkin costume he had on earlier in the broadcast. Carter demands to know where Jeff's Halloween costume is. He tells EC3 that he's had enough. Ethan and Katrina continue to demand Jarrett about but he tells them that he quits before storming out of the room!
5.) Brian Cage defeats Seiya Sanada. Not much to report here as this was mostly just a throwaway match between both men. Cage continues to impress as he picks up the win in relatively quick fashion following the Weapon X on WRESTLE-1 worker Sanada.
Our blockbuster 6-man tag team main event match pitting Bobby Roode and The Wolves against Magnus, Samoa Joe and Austin Aries is hyped! You don't want to miss this one...
Commercial Break
A video airs hyping Final Resolution, the last Impact Wrestling broadcast to air on Spike, which comes to us LIVE in 2 weeks time on November 13!
6.) World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode and World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat Magnus, Samoa Joe and Austin Aries. Pay-per-view worthy main event here encompassing 6 of the top guys in Impact Wrestling to bring the penultimate show before Final Resolution to a close. It was hard to tell who was going to take the pinfall here in this one but as the match drew on, the tension between Joe and Aries was clear and this proved to be their team's downfall. Aries ended up turning on Joe, rocking him with a discus forearm that sent him stumbling right into the Roode Bomb from Bobby as The Wolves kept Magnus at bay from breaking up the 'fall!
The TNA World Tag Team and Heavyweight Champions stand tall to celebrate their victory here as Magnus once again goes berzerk at ringside, kicking the steel steps as he runs his hands through his hair before storming to the back. Aries stands at the top of the ramp staring down at ringside where Samoa Joe stares right back at him, looking furious! © 2014 TNA Entertainment, LLC. All rights reserved.

Impact Wrestling on Nov. 6, 2014 @ Bethlehem, PA. — Episode #544
Good evening Impact Wrestling fans and welcome to the penultimate broadcast here on Spike before the big move to Pop starting Tuesday January 6 with a big LIVE broadcast from the Manhattan Center in New York City! Mike Tenay and Taz are on-hand here tonight to call the action as they see it...
1.) Samoa Joe defeats Brian Cage and Chris Sabin. Thing's get off to a hot start here tonight with a match that took us back to TNA's earlier days as 3 of the best to ever compete within the X-Division took to the ring. Joe, who has a big match next week against Austin Aries with Aries' future TNA World Title contract up for grabs, was relentless tonight as he picked up some much needed momentum ahead of next week after making Sabin tap out to the Coquina Clutch 9 minutes in.
The official raises the hand of Joe, who stares right into the camera and begins to motion into it that he is coming for Aries' contract next week. We then cut to the back where Austin Aries can be seen watching on a monitor. Jeremy Borash appears with a mic and asks Austin for his thoughts. He promises victory.
Jessie Godderz and DJ Z are shown walking towards ringside. Why have The BroMans requested this time tonight? Find out after this!
Commercial Break
Magnus is shown pacing around on the spot when the cameraman asks him if he's alright and what's up with his deranged behaviour as of late. Magnus gets irate at the cameraman's suggestion he has been acting crazy. He grabs ahold of the camera and faces it downwards as he tells the cameraman to mind his own business and come back and ask him these questions next week when he has won back what is rightfully his from Bobby Roode--the TNA World Heavyweight Title!
The BroMans swagger down to the ring, the pair of them both with huge grins plastered across their faces. Godderz speaks first, talking about how they have a huge surprise for everyone. DJ Z does his usual shtick were he makes noises into the mic and echoes everything Jessie is saying. The pair then both ask for everyone to be on their feet for the return of their fellow Bro and his girl... Robbie E. and Brooke! The real-life couple, who have been M.I.A from TNA programming for most of the year due to participating in CBS' The Amazing Race, emerge from the back before a swarm of paparazzi are infront of the pair, snapping pics of them as they make their way down the rampway. Once in the ring, Robbie says that Brooke and him are the A-Listers of Impact Wrestling. "Brangelina who?", he asks before The BroMans and Brooke all laugh. Brooke says it's time for photocall as they all then pose for the paparazzi sitting at ringside before Manik's music hits...
2.) Robbie E. (with Brooke, Jessie Godderz & DJ Z) defeats Manik. Fun return match here for Robbie, who hasn't missed a beat in his time away. Manik and him had great chemistry out there tonight that made for an entertaining match which saw various comedic spots from Robbie. The returning E. picked up the W after dodging Manik's Frog Splash attempt and then spiking him with a Lifting DDT.
The BroMans and Brooke all celebrate Robbie's win before they take a selfie in the centre of the ring, posing with a downed Manik. They all then head to the back.
Commercial Break
Alex Shelley is standing in the ring when we come back with his tripod over his shoulder and a mic in-hand. Shelley talks about the overreaction of Sting regarding him regarding his family. Shelley tells Sting to calm down as "it's just business".
3.) Sting defeats Alex Shelley. Actually a decent match here despite the fact that it was clear from the off-set that it would be the Stinger picking up the win ahead of his singles match against James Storm next week at Final Resolution. Shelley almost had things won at one point but Sting kicked out before eventually dropping him with the Scorpion Death Drop! But that wasn't enough for Sting who then proceeded to sync in the Scorpion Deathlock, forcing Shelley to tap out!
Sting looked dominant tonight as the referee raises his hand in victory. James Storm has definitely angered the Stinger and their match next week is going to be a fight!
2015 Knockouts calendar cover girl Taryn Terrell is standing by backstage with Jeremy Borash talking about how great it is to be on the cover when Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse gatecrashes the interview. Ivelisse calls Taryn trash and tells her to keep an eye on the monitor as she's going to show her what a wrestler does!
Commercial Break
Ethan Carter III and Katrina are shown arriving to the arena. The pair are complaining about Jeff Jarrett quitting last week as their personal assistant. Carter says that he always knew Jeff was a quitter as it's in the Jarrett family gene pool.
Knockouts Champ, Ivelisse is in the ring sans Alyssa Flash and Jade. She calls out Awesome Kong for attacking The Anti-Knockout's last week. Ivelisse says that if it's a title shot Kong wants, then it's a title shot Kong'll get--No DQ! Sure enough, Kong makes her way down the rampway when Ivelisse dives over the top rope onto her but she gets caught! Kong then rams her into the steel ring post. The bell rings and we have this impromptu no disqualifications, title match on our hands!
4.) Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse defeats Awesome Kong in a No Disqualifications match to retain. Kong dominates in the early going until Ivelisse is able to drop toe hold her into the steel steps and get into the drivers seat. Once back in the ring, Ivelisse uses a chair to her advantage until Raisha Saeed , who we haven't seen since 2009, comes running down to the ring unbeknownst to Ivelisse! As the champ goes to swing the chair at Kong, Saeed yanks it out of her hands, leading to Ivelisse begging Raisha not to hit her! Kong grabs ahold of Ivelisse by the hair and sets her up for the Implant Buster and it looks like we are about to witness the crowning of a new Knockouts Champion when suddenly Saeed blasts Kong with the chair and Ivelisse pulls off a bridging pin to retain at the 3 min. mark!
Saeed removes her burka to reveal that it's Ivelisse's counterpart, Alyssa Flash as the Pennsylvania crowd boo the pair! Taryn Terrell and Gail Kim hit the ring and take the fight to Flash and Ivelisse until Jade joins in, helping her Anti-Knockout pals beat the pair down before they retreat just as Kong begins to get back to her feet. Ivelisse holds her title high as Kong goes berserk at ringside!
Commercial Break
It is announced that next week at Final Resolution, Ivelisse will defend the Knockouts Title against Gail Kim, Awesome Kong and Taryn Terrell in a 4-way match!
5.) The School of Hard Knox (Hanson & Knux with Rebel) defeat Bad Influence (Kazarian & Christopher Daniels) in the Tag Team Rush Tournament Final. A solid tag team match here as Hanson and Knux continue to look impressive due to being big guys but still being pretty agile. Bad Influence, as always, looked great out there. Hanson pinned Daniels after a big spinning wheel kick in what some may consider a pretty big upset.
Rebel celebrates with her boys, who will go on to challenge The Wolves for the TNA World Tag Team Championships next week at Final Resolution!
Commercial Break
Prince Nana is shown walking down the hall. He comes across Gunner, who he gave a business card to last week. Nana asks Gunner if he considered his offer of him leading Gunner to the top. Gunner tells Nana thanks but no thanks. Nana is visibly offended as he tells Gunner that he needs Nana more than he thinks! Nana says that his portfolio of clients is expanding by the day and that next week at Final Resolution he wants Gunner to meet one of his clients in the ring so that his client can personally teach Gunner a lesson! Gunner tells Nana that he is on!
6.) Low-Ki defeats X-Division Champion, Rockstar Spud in a non-title match. After turning heel last week and attacking Spud, who was his tag partner, Low-Ki went one on one with the champ in a non-title outing here tonight. Fun X-Division match that the crowd were thoroughly into. Low-Ki is great as a heel. Spud looked to be wrapping things up with the Underdog but Ki countered it by shoving Spud into the turnbuckle and quickly rolling him up for the 3 count!
Low-Ki has his hand raised by the official as Spud looks around in disbelief at how quickly things went wrong for him! Taz and Tenay talk about how that certainly puts a disgruntled Low-Ki into the title frame alongside Kenny King, who is #1 contender.
TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode and Ethan Carter III, alongside Katrina, are shown making their separate ways to ringside ahead of our main event!
Commercial Break
7.) World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode defeats Ethan Carter III (with Katrina) in a non-title match. This, to many, would be considered a big dream match and so they weren't given too much time here, probably around the 6 minute mark in total. Carter looked like a true star as he hung with the World Champion. After a brief distraction from Katrina, Carter spiked Roode with the One Percenter but the music of Jeff Jarrett distracted him for long enough not to go for the cover as Jarrett made his way to ringside. Roode O'Connor Rolled Carter up but Ethan rolled through into one of his own. Bobby kicked out, sending EC3 over into the ropes where he ran into a guitar shot from Jarrett! Carter stumbled backwards into the Roode Bomb for the 3 count!
Katrina enters the ring to tend to her man as Roode celebrates with his title belt whilst Double J has a huge grin on his face. A dazed Carter gets on the microphone and tells Jarrett that he is a bitch! He wants Jarrett next week at Final Resolution and if Jarrett loses then he is DONE in TNA Wrestling! Jarrett accepts under one condition--that Carter puts something on the line also. Double J says that when he beats Carter next week, he is going to shave him bald! It's Hair vs. Career next week between Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett at Final Resolution, the last ever show on Spike before TNA's move to Pop TV!

Impact Wrestling: Final Resolution on Nov. 13, 2014 @ Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. — Episode #545
Hello everyone and welcome to Final Resolution! "The Professor" Mike Tenay and Taz are on-hand to call tonight's broadcast, which is the final Impact Wrestling show on Spike before the jump to Pop on January 6, 2015! The pair quickly rundown tonight's card before we get things underway with our first contest...
1.) Austin Aries defeats Samoa Joe to retain his Contract for a TNA World Heavyweight Championship match. Stellar opener to the final Impact Wrestling broadcast on Spike as two of the best in the World go at it with Aries' guaranteed title match up for grabs. Both men were determined out there to pick up the victory as they pulled out all of the stops, however, it was Aries leaving with a notch in the W column after his turnbuckle dropkick followed up immediately with a Brainbuster.
After the official raises Aries' hand, Joe ends up extending his hand out for a handshake. Aries hesitates before accepting it and then both men then embrace.
Commercial Break
Magnus, who will challenge Bobby Roode in tonight's main event for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, is shown arriving to the arena. The cameraman tries stopping him for a word but Magnus simply walks right by him...
2.) X-Division Champion, Rockstar Spud defeats Low-Ki and Kenny King to retain. In his first defense since winning the X-Title at Bound for Glory in Tokyo last month, Spud had his work cut out for him as he went up against two men who are no stranger to holding the X-Division gold in Kenny King and Low-Ki, who turned heel on Spud a few weeks back. Ki hit the Ki Krusher on King but before he could attempt the cover, Spud appeared and dropped him with the Underdog for the 3!
Spud celebrates at the foot of the ramp with his title belt as the crowd get behind the Ultimate Underdog! The camera shows Low-Ki looking ticked off inside the ring.
The BroMans (Robbie E., Jessie Godderz & DJ Z) are in the back with Robbie's girlfriend, Brooke Tessmacher. Jeremy Borash appears and asks why they requested the interview time. All 4 of them begin talking about Robbie and Brooke's run on The Amazing Race before they pull out a selfie stick and take a photo.
Commercial Break
Ivelisse is backstage with her Knockouts gold and her team mates Alyssa Flash and Jade. Ivelisse isn't happy that Flash and Jade are banned from ringside for her title defense against Gail Kim, Awesome Kong and Taryn Terrell.
Jeff Jarrett is shown warming up backstage ahead of putting his career on the line against Ethan Carter III, who is putting his hair on the line, later tonight. Jarrett is confident as he says that he's going to teach EC3 a lesson once and for all. Double J then raises a pair of hair clippers into the camera and turns them on...
3.) World Tag Team Champions, The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) defeat The School of Hard Knox (Knux & Hanson with Rebel) to retain. Despite a pretty big push since their Impact Wrestling debut as a duo, the crowd failed to care about The School of Hard Knox here. On the other hand, Davey and Eddie were insanely over in Bethlehem. A decent tag match here that saw The Wolves retain their gold after nailing Hammer of the Gods on Knux at 5:42.
Commercial Break
We see a video package detailing James Storm and Sting's recent feud, including Sting beating Storm at Bound for Glory despite his foot being under the bottom rope during the count. The video includes Storm hiring Alex Shelley to film Sting's family.
4.) James Storm defeats Sting. There is so much history here between these two men. This was more of a brawl than anything else as Sting was looking to beat some respect into Storm after he crossed a line by hiring Alex Shelley of Paparazzi Productions to film Sting's family and spy on them. Shelley wasn't anywhere to be seen here after Sting beat him last week so the Shelley/Storm partnership appears to have just been a one-time deal. Storm picks up a big win here tonight on the final Spike episode after knocking Sting down with the Last Call superkick 8 minutes in!
The crowd aren't best pleased as Storm celebrates his victory above a fallen Sting.
Commercial Break
5.) Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse defeats Taryn Terrell, Gail Kim and Awesome Kong to win. The TNA Knockouts showed everyone in attendance and watching at home tonight exactly why they are the greatest collection of women wrestlers today. Terrell looks to be on the brink of capturing her first title after hitting Gail with a running Cutter but Ivelisse is on-hand to yank her out of the ring and cover Kim, stealing the victory here and retaining her title successfully!
Ivelisse doesn't hang around as she bails from the ring before Kong or Taryn can get a hold of her. She snatches her title from the official and raises it high above her as she backs up the ramp with a smug grin on her face. We see Terrell looking annoyed.
Katrina is backstage with her beau Ethan Carter III. There is apparently no way that EC3 is going to lose tonight and be shaved bald. He blames Jarrett for being the one to end his undefeated streak when he cost him a match against his former best friend and assistant Rockstar Spud not too long ago. Carter promises to return the favour but by being the one to end Jarrett's career in the house that he built, TNA!
Commercial Break
Bobby Roode is backstage with his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Jeremy Borash appears for a word. Roode says that Magnus is going to have to pull out all of the stops as he isn't giving up the World Title without one hell of a fight!
A video package recaps Ethan Carter III and Jeff Jarrett's storied past.
6.) Ethan Carter III (with Katrina) defeats Jeff Jarrett in a Hair vs. Career match. There's so much history with these two, even stemming back to include Ethan's aunt Dixie. With so much on the line here (Carter's hair, Jarrett's Impact Wrestling career) the stakes were higher than ever. Both men fought tooth and nail in order to get the pinfall or submission victory. As Jarrett began sizing Carter up for the finish, Katrina hopped onto the apron and began to distract both him and the official, however, to the surprise of everyone, Karen Jarrett appeared and yanked Katrina off the apron before tackling her to the floor as the crowd went nuts! Back in the ring, Jeff went for the Stroke only for it to be countered by Carter, who was now looking for the One Percenter but Jarrett blocked it. Jarrett went for a short-arm clothesline but EC3 ducked it and was finally able to spike Double J with the One Percenter to pick up the 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring!
Karen looks on in disbelief from ringside at her husband's loss as Earl Hebner raises the hand of EC3 in victory. Karen crawls into the ring to check on Jeff but she is laid out with a vicious boot to the side of the head by Katrina! The vixen that is Katrina then exits the ring, snatching the hair clippers from Christy Hemme at ringside and handing them to EC3. The duo then shave Jarrett bald as Mike Tenay and Taz are both very vocal in their disgust! The stipulation here being that if Carter lost then he got shaved bald--Jarrett's hair never was on the line here tonight, only his TNA career was! Katrina and EC3 stand tall with the clippers over a bald Jarrett! "Talk about adding insult to injury", shrieks Mike Tenay.
Commercial Break
We get a recap of Ethan Carter III beating Jeff Jarrett in a Hair vs. Career match just before the break. The video includes Carter shaving Jarrett's hair off despite the stipulation only requiring EC3 to be shaved bald if he was the loser.
Back inside the Sands Casino & Resort, Gunner is pacing around the squared circle ahead of his scheduled bout against Prince Nana's latest signing. Nana appears and tells Gunner to be prepared to face defeat. He introduces us to Johnny Gargano!
7.) Gunner defeats Johnny Gargano (with Prince Nana). Dave Meltzer reported before Final Resolution came on the air that Gargano has not signed a contract with TNA and that this is merely a try-out. Gargano put up a good fight but in the end it would be Gunner leaving victorious after Johnny tapped to the Gun Rack!
Nana is livid as he climbs into the ring and begins yelling at Gargano. Having heard enough, Johnny flips Nana off and goes to leave, however, Nana blasts him from behind with his cane, knocking him out cold! Nana adjusts his suit jacket before exiting the ring and heading to the back. His quest for a client continues...
Commercial Break
8.) World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode defeats Magnus to retain. Big way to close the show tonight as Magnus cashes in his rematch clause here after Roode won the World Title back at Bound for Glory last month. Ever since losing the gold, Magnus has been unpredictable as he has went berzerk on more than one occasion as it appears losing the title as tipped him over the edge. Both men worked a solid outing here but in the end it would be Roode leaving still the champ after he rolled out of harms way of Magnus' signature diving elbow drop before putting him away with the Roode Bomb at 10:08. Great match.
The crowd go home happy as Roode leaves and heads to the back, leaving Magnus to seethe in the squared circle. Magnus walks around the ringside area with his hands on his hips as he then begins to slam his hands repeatedly off the steel steps before then going over and getting in the face of Taz and Tenay. Magnus has clearly lost a screw here as he begins trashing the ringside area! He goes over to the timekeeper and grabs ahold of him by the collar of the top before flooring him with a right hand shot and then throwing him into the guardrail! We go off the air with security appearing, and Bobby Roode not far behind, as Magnus is dragged away!

IMPACTWRESTLING.com has just learned that former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus has been suspended indefinitely for his actions post-loss to Bobby Roode this past Thursday night on the special FINAL RESOLUTION themed IMPACT WRESTLING broadcast.
After a meeting in Nashville, TN., TNA management have decided to take appropriate punitive action and suspend Magnus, effective immediately. Stay locked on here at IMPACTWRESTLING.com for more on this situation as it develops!
Tags: Magnus, breaking news, Impact Wrestling
+ The suspension of Magnus was reportedly done as a way to write his character off TV in order to allow him time at home to spend with his son and wife, Mickie James. The pair welcomed a son into the World back in September but Magnus has been predominantly on the road since then. + Following their final broadcast on Spike, TNA management are gearing up for their big debut on Pop (the former TV Guide Channel) on 1/6 from the Manhattan Center in New York City. Limited tickets are still available here. + Prince Nana appears to be the first casualty of TNA's internal restructuring of contracts. Nana only just debuted on programming, however, he was working under a PPA deal up until the company offered him a full-time contract. Nana posted on his Facebook page that the deal wasn't great and that he could have made more money working the independent circuit and politely turned down the offer. It appeared management did have plans for Nana, who brought Johnny Gargano with him on the final Spike episode, so it will be interesting to see what happens there. + It's expected that the debut on Pop will see the 6-sided ring make its long awaited return to Impact Wrestling. The 6-sided ring has long been something that fans have hoped to see back and it's all but confirmed to make its return. + Another big change expected is TNA leaving the Impact Zone for good (again). Dixie Carter teased it on Twitter by posting a photo of The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with an emoji as the caption. TNA are no strangers to The Joint, having hosted their first ever HD broadcast from the venue back in 2008. + Garrett Bischoff, who is still under TNA contract, noted on his Instagram page that he is training for his Impact Wrestling return, which he hopes "isn't too far away". + We are hearing reports that TNA's deal with Pop will see the company be given a second show. It's expected that the show will be Xplosion, which is currently without a U.S. home despite airing to international markets. If Xplosion does find its way on to Pop scheduling then expect it to be revamped given the current format is pretty much an Impact Wrestling recap show with one exclusive match.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December 11, 2014) — IMPACT WRESTLING is proud to announce the signing of two fresh and new members to our active roster effective immediately ahead of our Jan. 6 debut on Pop. Both Drew Galloway and Kana signed their contracts with IMPACT WRESTLING today.
Galloway was born in Scotland and was once nicknamed "The Chosen One". Drew has a hard-nosed, smash-mouth style of offense and his Future Shock DDT is both devastating and unique — much like Drew's overall presence. This ain't someone the roster will want to cross.
Born in Japan, Kana is one of the World's most ferocious female warriors. Having spent over 10 years decimating opponents with skull-caving kicks and ligament-tearing submissions in her homeland, Kana will trade the Land of the Rising Sun for Tuesday nights on Pop come 1/6.
For more information on Drew, Kana and all other TNA talent visit tnawrestling.com, and follow IMPACT WRESTLING on Twitter @impactwrestling and TNA President Dixie Carter @tnadixie.
IMPACT WRESTLING premieres Tuesday January 6 from 9-11 PM ET on Pop. And, IMPACT WRESTLING: UNLOCKED with Mike Tenay premieres on Saturdays from 10 AM-Noon ET beginning January 10, immediately followed by TNA GREATEST MATCHES from Noon-1 PM ET.
