A New Boss is Here
MVP, Lashley and Kenny King celebrate the championship win. Eric Young comes out to fight and gets beaten down until Bobby Roode appears. He hits King in the stomach with a crutch and we head to commercial break. Roode cuts a great promo, face promo, about his love about professional wrestling. He talks about honor and respect and they are not getting it from them.
As MVP is about to fire him, a random guy comes out and says he is on the Board of Directors and says MVP is no longer in power. There is a new man in power.
Later in the night, Mr. Armstrong comes out and talks to Dixie Carter. He tells her that she will not be the person in charge. She rages and out comes Bully Ray. He says he is going to put Dixie through a table after he drinks her champagne. She offers him money. Bully picks her up and Spud moves the table away. EC3 grabs her and she escapes.
Kurt Angle is the new boss. He comes out and is quickly met by MVP, King and Lashley. Young gets a rematch next week, while Bobby Roode is back in TNA.
If you have Angle under contract and he can move around, you better use him. Smart booking decision giving Angle plenty of TV time before he departs for WWE in 2015.
Score: 7/10
Magnus and Bram defeated Willow and Abyss
The action starts off fast. Willow hits a leg split drop and then a dropkick to Magnus' stomach. Abyss and Willow get weapons and get hit with shots of trash cans. Magnus and Bram beat down both guys with trash cans. Willow hits a double clothesline and hits a Whisper in the Wind. Willow throws a chair and a trash can into Bram's face. Willow heads to the top and misses Swanton Bomb. Abyss misses with Janice and the Brits take over.
As Abyss is handcuffed on the outside, both men take shots at Willow with a chair. Abyss breaks the cuffs and gets in the ring. Willow hits multiple shots with a kendo stick and hits Twist of Fate. Magnus throws a chair at Willow and he crashes through a barbwired board. Abyss chokeslams Magnus on thumb tacks. Bram hits Abyss with Janice.
I could not get into a hardcore match that was so staged. You could see every move and every step before it happened. Also, get that damn mask off of Jeff Hardy. HE IS YOUR MOST RECOGNIZABLE AND PROFITABLE SUPERSTAR! Why would you mask him?
