New spooky guy Max Waltham,
Bray Wyatt, Bram defeated compulsive liar and tired out star Davey
Richards in decent effort.
Austin Aries dropped Kenny King
in a 'fill the time' match.
James Storm and Kazarian
defeated Knux and The Freak (who is actually Rob 'embarrassment' Terry. The
Wyatt Family, this isn't.
Star of yesteryear Bobby
Lashley beat Samoa Joe after interference from Kenny King. Expect a new tag
team of muscle men. Harlem Heat it isn't.
Abyss beat Mr. Anderson in an empty
battle.
Gunner beat Magnus in a match
where both were equally useless towering blocks of vanilla. TNA needs to
retract the new contract and send them on their ways. Either that or repackage.
The BroMans dropped Bully Ray
and Spud in a good opportunity marred by Spud turning on Ray making the taggers
useless again.
Ethan Carter III beat Sanada in
fair battle. Expect the X-title on Cater when Sanada leaves before the end of
the year.
Samuel Shaw has been released
from the asylum to return to TNA's instead. He beat Crazy Steve, whoever he is.
Eddie Edwards won a good battle
against Zema Ion and Tigre Uno.
Gunner won a useless battle
royal last eliminating James Storm. All the previous winners got to advance to
the title opportunity. It was a loose thought out procedure adding to drive to
a heavyweight opportunity now seen as a PR drive only. TNA are choosing all the
wrong people to put in the frame and losing all connectivity with fans for
being entirely clueless. Placing the title on the former Phil Shatter with no
direction, style or drive, with such desperation to copy WWE’s ‘big guys’ to
get in first, makes TNA redundant. It never learns who is world title material.
It then picks a loser to win a heavyweight honour. Hey, it’s Dixieland and her
travelling circus has landed.
