Impact – Oct 13

Become Ryan’s Wrestling Pen Pal

*Emanating from Albany, NY

*Josh Alexander to the ring…he went to war with Eddie Edwards, but he remains champion & that war is over…but the next challenge is already decided, so he calls out Bully Ray & asks why he didn’t Call His Shot at Bound For Glory…Bully says he “wants to do it right this time”…Steve Maclin interrupts, reminds Josh to never trust Bully Ray…then Maclin asks Josh what it will take for him to get a shot after he’s beaten multiple former World Champions…Moose interrupts & tells Maclin to sit this one out because World Champions are talking…Moose says Bully Ray is a scumbag & Moose proudly modeled his career after him because he’s a scumbag, too…Bobby Fish interrupts, knows Josh never turns down a challenge…so he challenges Josh to face him tonight in Fish’s home town…Josh accepts.

*Motor City Machine Guns backstage with Gia…they should be tag champs, so they’re going to Scott D’Amore to get another title shot…they pass Heath & Rhino, who just came from Scott’s office & have a tag title shot next week.

(1)  Killer Kelly def. Tasha Steelz…in a NO DQ MATCH…before the bell, Savannah Evans attacks Kelly…later Kelly locks on the Killer Clutch with added assistance of a steel chain & gets the submission win (06:52).

*Johnny Swinger is telling stories backstage about how well he did in the Gauntlet when Dirty Dango threatens him with a fashion violation…nearby, 2 Violent By Design yellow hoodie minions are being ejected by Security when Sami Callihan takes them out with a bat.

*Scott D’Amore joins the long list of those warning Josh Alexander about not trusting Bully Ray under any circumstances…tells Josh to keep his head on a swivel at all times.

(2)  Trey Miguel def. Alex Zayne, Black Taurus, Laredo Kid, Kenny King, & Yuya Uemora…in a 6-MAN X-DIVISION SCRAMBLE…Trey hits his modified Murphy’s Law on Zayne for the win (10:11).

*Mike Bailey approaches Frankie Kazarian in the parking lot to thank him for a great match at BFG…Trey Miguel interrupts to let Kaz know he just won a 6-way scramble…Kaz says they’ll all have to wait & see what the future holds for the X-Division.

(3)  VXT & Gisele Shaw def. Death Dollz…Rosemary spears Deonna, but Shaw is legal… Shaw hits Rosemary with a Knee Strike to the back of the head for the win (05:43).

*Tommy Dreamer approaches Bully Ray backstage…Tommy wishes the world knew the good guy Bully Ray who has helped Tommy out many times…but he knows Bully changes when there’s a goal to achieve, so Tommy begs Bully not to make a fool out of him…Bully assures Tommy he’s telling the truth…so they decide to team up for a tag match together.

*Maria Kanellis is trying to rally Honor No More backstage around the tag champs…OGK are pissed that they have to defend against Heath & Rhino next week, but they will carry on the message of HNM.

(4)  Matt Cardona def. Bhupinder Gujjar…a distraction by Brian Myers allows Cardona to hit Radio Silence for the win (04:22).

*Mickie James backstage with Gia…Mickie has so much respect for Jordynne Grace, but she knows she’s a long way from the top of the mountain…VXT & Gisele Shaw interrupt to tell Mickie to respect them instead of a bunch of losers…Mickie challenges Chelsea but VXT has a tag title rematch to concentrate on, so they bounce.

*Bullet Club heard Bully Ray & Tommy Dreamer talking about a tag match, so they offer the old timers a match that’s just too sweet.

(5)  Josh Alexander def. Bobby Fish…retains his iMPACT! World Championship…Fish escapes the Ankle Lock & kicks out Josh’s knee, getting Josh to fall into a Triangle Choke…Josh gets Fish up & drops him into a backbreaker onto his knee…Josh follows with the C-4 Spike for the win (17:51)…AFTER…Frankie Kazaran out…congratulates Josh, then tells him to add one more challenger to his list because Kaz has decided to exercise Option C.
