TNA Impact Wrestling Results
August 19th 2015
Report By Ford Fischer for Wrestlezone.com
Hello everyone, @FordTheFish here with your TNA Impact Wrestling play-by-play.
Jeff Jarrett starts off the show. It feels like 2005 all over again…or maybe just last week (considering the Global Force Wrestling shirt). Jarrett solidifies the idea of a ‘historic’ main event in which GFW wrestler PJ Black (new King of the Mountain Champion) will challenge Ethan Carter III for the TNA World Championship. Ethan Carter III interrupts him and claims this is not his place anymore and hasn’t been for a long time, because it is as he says, “the house that the Carters built”. EC3 even flubs a bit (possibly on purpose) by referring to PJ Black as The Dire Wolf (great song by the Grateful Dead!) instead of The Darewolf. Karen Jarrett gets on the mic to defend her man and insinuates that EC3 is attacking the various people backstage (like Bully Ray and Drew Galloway). EC3 is ultimately given the choice by Jeff Jarrett when he refuses to defend against PJ Black: “Either defend in the main event like scheduled…or be stripped of the title.”
We go backstage to The Pope and Josh Matthews promoting the rest of the show including Gail Kim vs. 2/3 of the Dollhouse in a Steel Cage, Drew Galloway vs. Eli Drake in a No DQ Match, and Bram vs. Mr. Anderson in the “Open Mic Match.”
Drew Galloway briefly is seen backstage addressing the attack on him. He seems rather confident that it was Eli Drake and that he has coming to him what he deserves.
Bram vs. Mr. Anderson
Brawling begins the match, as with just about any match involving Bram. Anderson quickly gets a table involved and lands a very innovative Finlay Roll off the apron through the table. The Loud One climbs the ladder but couldn’t seem to get a good grip on the hanging microphone before Bram knocks him off. The British Brawler gets up on the ladder, but Anderson brings him down, only to fall victim to a move similar to the Edge-O’ Matic and a strong Impaler DDT. Bram obviously idolized The Brood growing up. Bram gets a chance to grab the mic, but chooses to inflict more pain instead. The ladder gets set up in the corner as Bram begins to toss several steel chairs in the ring.
Anderson tries The Mic Check into the chairs, but Bram reverses it and gives his opponent the opportunity to whip him into the ladder sitting in the corner. Bram then Powerbombs Anderson off the ladder and into the pile of steel chairs! He now grabs the microphone and apparently the match isn’t over yet. As he swings with the mic, he ironically takes a Mic Check from Anderson into the pile of chairs. Anderson then uses the mic for some mounted punches followed up by his normal mic gimmick where he says his name abrasively. He clocks Bram one last time with it and gets the win.
Winner – Mr. Anderson
Bobby Roode catches Jeff Jarrett backstage and forces him to pay attention. Roode asks him why he was snubbed for consideration in the King of the Mountain Title match last week. Jeff avoids his question on the pretense that he needs to go see Dixie about EC3 defending his title tonight.
