Impact – Mar 2

Impact – Mar 2

Listen to The Daily Wrestling News Show: 

*Emanating from Las Vegas, NV. 

*Ace Austin & Chris Bey to the ring…Bey made his debut in this building & has a rich history in Vegas…Austin also debuted in this building & “Beat Chris Sabin” right here…and now they’re the best tag team in the world…the Motor City Machine Guns interrupt, they’re still the best team on the planet & Ace/Bey are just doing a MCMG impersonation…the Bullet Club can’t wait to get their shot at those titles at Sacrifice in 3 weeks…the Guns are ready to let them try to prove it tonight.

*Shane Haste (of TMDK in Japan) backstage with Gia…he’s looking forward to making his debut tonight against Mike Bailey.

*Rich Swann backstage with Gia…he finally got his title rematch at No Surrender, but lost…Raj Singh & Shera interrupt…they’ve hit it big in Vegas & Raj is tipping cameramen & lighting guys…Rich is offended at the interruption & wants to teach Raj a lesson…Raj says not now, the roulette table is calling his name.

(1)  Mike Bailey def. Shane Haste…Haste has a damn good showing with some innovative offense, going kick for kick at times with Bailey, & avoiding the 1^st attempt at Ultima Weapon…but in the end Bailey hits the spinning combo kick in the corner & connects on the 2^nd Ultima Weapon for the win (15:10).

*The Design backstage….Rhino interrupts…he doesn’t intend to watch the Design mess with Callihan’s head like VBD did to him…Callihan interrupts, tells Rhino that he’s right where he wants to be…so Rhino feels he needs to knock some sense into Callihan later tonight.

(2)  Kenny King def. Kevin Knight…King pulls Knight off the top buckle & right into the Royal Flush for the win (06:02).

*Josh Alexander backstage with Gia…Kushida is next at Multiverse & if Josh gets past him he’s got Maclin at Rebellion…Josh challenges Kushida & Time Machine to a 6-man tag at Sacrifice even though he doesn’t have his teammates picked out yet…Steve Maclin interrupts, tells Josh to please hold onto that title because he wants to beat the longest reigning Impact World Champion in history.

*Santino Marella gets an update from the “Doc” on Tommy Dreamer’s burns from Bully throwing hot coffee on him…Bully Ray interrupts, says if Tommy lives, he’ll be glad to take care of that…Bhupinder Gujjar pins Bully up against a wall, sticking up for Dreamer…security separates them & Bully slaps Gujjar as he walks away.

*Mickie James to the ring…she promised Jordynne Grace to get back to her after Masha…Gisele Shaw interrupts, says Mickie is dodging her by fighting Jordynne again…Mickie says she’s already beaten Shaw, but she’ll gladly do it again…Mickie is ready to go tonight…Shaw doesn’t have her gear…Gail Kim out…she officially books Mickie vs. Gisele for next week.

*Brian Myers is approached backstage by Moose, who wants to help Myers beat & humiliate Joe Hendry & take the Digital Media Championship back.

*Jordynne Grace approaches Santino backstage…she’s miffed that Shaw jumped the line for a Knockouts title shot, so Jordynne is “officially” invoking her rematch clause to face the winner…Santino says consider it booked…for Sacrifice.

(3)  PCO def. Trey Miguel via DISQUALIFICATION in a NON-TITLE match…when Eddie Edwards attacks PCO with a shovel causing the DQ (09:44)…AFTER…PCO hits Eddie with a suicide dive & a chokeslam before Security gets between them.

(4)  Ace Austin & Chris Bey def. Motor City Machine Guns…to become the NEW Impact Tag Team Champions…this match was as good as you expected…in the end Ace & Bey take Sabin out with stereo roundhouse kicks…Bey drops Shelley with the assisted Art of Finesse & Ace follows with The Fold…Bey covers Shelley for the win (22:17).
