IMPACT Coverage by Bobby James

August 14, 2014

IMPACT opens with Bully Ray and a recap of Dixie Carter being powerbombed through a table!

Bully says after four long months, he kept his word to the fans. He thanks them and says he couldn’t have done it without all of them. Above all, he says he wants to thank his brother Devon. Devon celebrates in the ring with Bully Ray as The Hardy Boys enter the arena.

Matt says it’s been 12 years since the four of them were in the ring together. Team 3D and The Hardys agree to face each other – one more time, to which Devon exclaims, “Oh my brother, testify!”

EC3, Rockstar Spud and Rhino enter the arena. Rockstar Spud demands a moment of silence for “The Queen,” Dixie Carter. The crowd vocally protests Spud’s demands, sending him into a tizzy.

EC3 demands the termination of Bully Ray from TNA Wrestling. He says it’s a Carter ring and a Carter wrestling promotion – and that he’s not leaving the ring until Bully Ray is fired.

Kurt Angle interrupts by saying that EC3 is wasting time and that he’ll wrestle tonight or leave the ring. EC3 says he spilled blood in the ring last week and that he’ll not be wrestling this week. Angle again states he’ll wrestle or leave. EC3 refuses to leave. Angle calls out the police.

While coming off the ropes toward Taryn, Velvet is tripped and pulled from the ring by Gail. Gail grabs Angelina and Velvet by the hair and smashes their heads together before taking them down with a cross-body from the apron.

Meanwhile, Taryn Terrell climbs the ring post and jumps, connecting a cross-body with Gail Kim and The Beautiful People. Taryn rolls Angelina into the ring and drops her with a series of clotheslines. Taryn attempts a pin, but Gail interrupts the count.

Eventually, all four women are in the ring and the Beautiful People begin to argue. Gail attacks both and pins Velvet following an Eat Defeat!

Lashley overpowers Eric Young, but action spills to the arena floor and EY gains the advantage. EY scouts Lashley from the top rope, but Kenny King pulls Young from the ropes as Lashley tags out.

King and Lashley alternate tags until EY is finally able to tag Austin Aries! Aries flies around the ring, taking out all of his opponents. Aries rushes toward King in the corner, but King gets his boot up, sending Aries to the floor.

Lashley reenters the match and begins overpowering his opponents. Aries reverses a power slam and climbs to the top rope, but a crutch to the back of the head, courtesy of MVP, sends him crashing down. When Aries stands, he’s pummeled with a spear and pinned for the three.

Winners: Lashley, MVP and Kenny King

Backstage: The Wolves discuss their legacy and victory over the Hardy Boys. They issue a challenge to Team 3D for the Tag Team Championships – anytime, anywhere.

Abyss walks to the ring clutching his stomach. He claims Bram has something that belongs to him. He demands Bram’s presence.

Bram, with Magnus, enters carrying the sadistic weapon known as Janice. Abyss says possession is 9/10 of the law. Abyss demands Bram returns Janice. Bram says she’s all his – and that she drives him wild, every time he drives her into the chest of Abyss.

Abyss asks Bram – and New York City – if they want to get extreme. Abyss challenges Bram to one more match, where Janice is suspended 15 feet above the ring. Bram accepts!

Magnus insults “The Monster” Abyss. Abyss attacks Bram and Magnus, but they regroup and leave the ring with Janice in hand. “Stairway to Janice” is official for Hardcore Justice, next week!

He climbs and attempts a drop, but Matt comes up behind Devon and hoists him onto his shoulders. Jeff connects with a Whisper in the Wind!
