Impact spoilers complete

[DASH 243✅]

Xplosion:

* Bram & Caleb Konley vs Crimson & Jax Dane (The War Kongs). The guest ring announcer is 10-year-old, Tucker, who is an Impact VIP. Crimson & Jax pick up the win with an F-5/Cutter variation finisher. Crowd was way into Crimson and chanted "Welcome Back".

Impact:

* Johnny Impact starts the official Impact TV tapings with a promo about what Killer Kross did to Taya at Homecoming. Crowd is chanting, "We want Cage". Cage cuts off Johnny to a big reaction. Cage says Johnny's Survivor buddies saved his ass. He claims he's the rightful champion and wants his rematch right now. Killer Kross interrupts. Kross talks about how Cage had Johnny pinned for a ten count at Homecoming. Kross says that when Taya comes back he'll put her back in the hospital. Johnny kicks Cage in the face and takes out Kross on the outside. When Johnny gets back in the ring, Cage lays him out. Kross attacks Cage who pops back up. Kross retreats. Cage grabs the title and holds it over his head as the crowd chants, "Next world champ".

* The Lucha Brothers def. Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz (The Rascalz) via pinfall. Awesome match!

* Josh Mathews interviews new X-Division Champion, Rich Swann. Swann puts over many former X-Division champs, including AJ Styles, and puts over his Homecoming win. Sami Callihan interrupts. Eventually Sami offers Rich an oVe shirt and tells Rich to put it on. Before Rich can decide, Willie Mack attacks Callihan. Rich helps separate Willie and Sami with the help of several refs. This leads to Sami vs Willie.

* Willie Mack def. Sami Callihan via pinfall. This was a Homecoming rematch and may have been better than the match they had at the PPV.

* Scarlett Boudeaux announces that she will pick the winner of her talent search next week. She then teases getting completely naked before Gama Singh and the Desi Hit Squad cut her off. Gama tells her not to humiliate herself and to wait and show them next week, in private, when she chooses them. SCOTT STEINER cuts off Gama Singh. Big pop. Scott says Gama ruined his chance at seeing a freak get their freak on. Desi Hit Squad attacks Steiner but he lays them all out. Steiner sits down in a chair as Scarlett does a strip tease and lap dance on Steiner. Scarlett leaves.

* Killer Kross def. Johnny Impact in a non-title, no DQ match via chokeout. Moose interfered to help Kross win. I believe this is the main event of the first show.

* Tessa Blanchard def Cali via pinfall with Gail Kim's Eat Defeat finisher.

* It seems that Impact blew out the power to the truck/building. Tommy Dreamer came out and announced it as Eli Drake having mic problems. They are sending out another match now and I think Eli will do his bit later.

* Crazzy Steve def. Logan James via pinfall. Crowd was way into Steve. Not sure if this was even filmed with the power out. The camera guy was sitting on a chair not working.

* Ethan Page def. Eddie Edwards via DQ after Eddie uses his kendo stick. Eli Drake was on commentary. Post-match Eli takes the mic and cuts a promo on Eddie

* Jordynne Grace def. Allie via pinfall. Su Yung was in Allie's corner and Kiera Hogan was in Jordynne's corner. Post-match, the lights went out and Rosemary appeared in the ring and scared Allie away.

* Caleb Konley def KM via DQ when Brian Cage hits the ring to attack KM. Post-match Cage lays out Fallah Bahh with a PowerBomb off the top rope. Cage then points to the ref, the same one from Homecoming, and lays him out, too. Cage then takes a mic and says he's coming to Mexico City next week to take the title from Johnny Impact. Johnny comes out but before he can talk he is attacked by Killer Kross and Moose. Cage drags Johnny's lifeless body to the ring and goes to lay him out. Moose and Kross charge the ring and lay them both out

* Rich Swann def. Trey Miguel via pinfall. Post-match, oVe offers Swann an oVe shirt once again, and Swann looks confused

* LAX def. oVe via pinfall.

* Brian Cage def. Moose via pinfall in the last match of the night. It was a strong final match

The Crazy Steve match was only a dark match to give time to fix the production issues.

ED NORDHOLM ADDRESSES THE TROOPS BEFORE LAST NIGHT'S IMPACT WRESTLING TAPING
By Mike Johnson on 2019-01-08 11:35:00
Ed Nordholm, the President of Impact Wrestling parent company Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC gave a speech to the Impact Wrestling roster backstage before last night's Impact Wrestling taping in Nashville, TN.

According to several sources we spoke to, it was very much a positive speech with Nordholm noting the company accomplished what they wanted to set out to do in 2018. Nordholm told the roster 2017 was a "learning year" after Anthem took over the company and that 2018 was about getting them in position for the future. He said that everyone is optimistic and enthusiastic for what is to come in 2019.

During his address to the roster, Nordholm put over there has been growth of the Fight Network (which Anthem owns) internationally and that Impact has and will continue to be a big part of that.

Nordholm also addressed the company’s move to The Pursuit Channel, noting that one of the reasons Anthem took over the company was so that they could have it for their own assets and Pursuit is one of those assets. With the deal at Pop ending, Impact now has the digital rights to the Impact Wrestling series again, which is why they can also simulcast it on Twitch on Fridays.

During the meeting, Nordholm took questions from the roster and specifically addressed that there were some rumblings last year that Anthem was looking to sell the company, assuring everyone that is not the case and that they shouldn’t be worried about anything along those lines.

The next planned Impact PPV will be in April, although the exact date has not been locked in. Traditionally, that has been Lockdown, but we are told that is not 100% set in stone.

Ed pretty much admitted he fkd up in 2017 when he hired Jarrett, and tbh the company wouldve been in better position if the brought Callis in 2017, instead Jarrett is brought in along with his wife and friends and thus bringing back loltna to the point it almost killed the company for good.

I originally was here just to browse spoilers for anything good (and Lucha Bros/Rascalz sounds like a banger), then I saw the things Ed said. Now I need to comment.

Nordholm also addressed the company’s move to The Pursuit Channel, noting that one of the reasons Anthem took over the company was so that they could have it for their own assets and Pursuit is one of those assets.

This does not explain the Death Slot, Ed! Just admit you couldn't arrange another deal and had to stash Impact on one of your lesser holdings like you're ashamed of it or something.

This sounds like Dixie years ago when she tried to sell to WWE. Didn't you try to offload Impact onto AEW fairly recently, Ed?

What is their obsession with Steiner, a guy who's a total maniac and bully and who's also less mobile than Manabu Nakanishi?

Nothing wrong with bringing back Steiner as long as he doesn't main event or at the top of the card.

As long as he buries talent like DHS(Who no one cares) then its fine.

This, pretty much. There's still some fun things they can do with him. I'm still a little miffed we never got Steiner/Cage the last time, it would've just been this complete spectacle. Don't think it'd be possible now that Cage is in the title scene, or at least it wouldn't be as fun to do.

At least it makes me feel better about not being able to watch Impact now. If this is what I’m missing... I’m totally ok with it.

IMPACT WRESTLING TV TAPING SPOILERS: HOMECOMING FALLOUT

Submitted by Zachary Mann

Impact tapings --
- Impact World Champion Johnny impact entered for a promo. He said Taya Valkyrie has been in the hospital for days. Brian Cage came out and was way more over with the crowd than Johnny.

Cage said he doesn’t care about Taya -- as Johnny wouldn’t care about his family. All he cares about is the Impact World Championship, which he believes he won at Homecoming. Killer Kross then came out. Kross said Johnny is showing his true colors by actually only caring for himself.

During the promo, Johnny attacked Cage and then Kross as he came down to the ring. Cage regained his composure and took Johnny out. Kross attacked Cage, but he no sold it and held the World title in the air to close the segment.

- Pentagon Jr. & Fenix defeated The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz)

Great match. The crowd loved both teams, and the match was filled with high spots. It ended with Pentagon and Fenix hitting a package piledriver/cutter combo to win. Both teams then got a standing ovation.

- Josh Mathews was in the ring and asked new X Division Champion Rich Swann to join him. Swann entered dancing and smiling before cutting a promo putting over the X Division.

Sami Callihan came out and said there is a past between them that we are not allowed to know at this time. Callihan offered Swann a spot in oVe. Before he could answer, Willie Mack came out and immediately brawled with Callihan.

- Willie Mack defeated Sami Callihan

Mack gave Callihan a nasty looking slam onto the apron. Callihan used the referee as a shield to distract and take the advantage. He hit a piledriver on the ramp and tried to get a countout win, but Mack got in the ring at the last second.

There were hard shots back and forth. They traded near fall attempts until Mack reversed a piledriver for the pin.

- Scarlett Bordeaux was out next, noting that her talent search ends next week. She wanted to know if the people wanted to see the whole show. She started to strip, then the Desi Hit Squad came out.

Scott Steiner made his way to the ring. He was mad because they were stopping the strip show. He then talked about hunting two-legged deer at a strip club in Detroit. He cleaned house, with Bordeaux giving him a brief dance after.

- Killer Kross defeated Impact World Champion Johnny Impact in a no DQ, non-title match

The crowd was still into Kross more than Johnny. This was a really violent match. At one point, Kross Pillmanized Johnny’s neck with a chair. He dropped Johnny onto the metal gate. They then pulled chairs from the audience into the match.

Johnny hit a moonsault onto a stack of chairs over Kross, and there was a dueling chairs spot. Johnny went for Starship Pain as Kross was under a pile of chairs, but Moose pushed Johnny off the top into a table that was set up earlier. Kross choked Johnny out to win, then the heels celebrated.

- Tessa Blanchard defeated Cali

This was a total squash. The crowd chanted "Still the champ" at Blanchard. She was very aggressive in hitting many hard strikes and kicks, and Cali never even got any offense in.

Blanchard was going to hit her finisher, but she instead hit Gail Kim's finisher to win it.

- Eli Drake entered. There were legitimate power/technical problems as the graphics went out and no mics worked. Drake entertained the crowd until Tommy Dreamer came out. He confirmed they blew power to the truck.

Don Callis, Josh Mathews, Jimmy Jacobs, Sonjay Dutt, and others all went backstage to fix it. They sent out a match for the fans while they worked on it.

- Crazzy Steve defeated Logan James

Steve got a huge "Welcome back" chant. The match went long to try and cover the time used to fix the problem. Steve eventually won to a big pop.

- They were still fixing the power. Wrestlers and staff were handing out calendars and taking pictures with fans. Fallah Bahh also entertained the crowd.

- After about 25 minutes, the power was back and the show resumed where it left off with Eli Drake coming out.

- Ethan Page defeated Eddie Edwards by DQ

Drake was on commentary for the match. Page has his own music and graphics and is no longer using Matt Sydal’s. Page won via disqualification after Edwards hit him with the kendo stick.

After the match, Drake cut a promo on Edwards. Drake said Edwards used to be a good wrestler and a multi-time champ -- but since he went hardcore, he’s nothing but a loser. Drake challenged him to be the old Edwards. Drake vs. Edwards seems to be a program going forward.

- Jordynne Grace (w/ Kiera Hogan) defeated Allie (w/ Su Yung)

Grace won in dominant fashion. The lights flickered before the match started to set up the post-match angle in which Rosemary came out and tried to get Allie to "see the light” -- but Allie retreated instead.

- KM (w/ Fallah Bahh) vs. Caleb Konley

Cage came out and destroyed everyone, including the referee who was in charge of his match at Homecoming. The fans chanted "Next World champ."

Cage grabbed a mic and said he’s upset that, despite Johnny Impact promising him the next World title shot, he found out Kross will get it next week in Mexico City. Cage said he will do whatever it takes to win the title.

Johnny entered but was ambushed by Kross and Moose. Cage stayed and just watched. After they were done, Cage tried to attack Johnny -- but Kross and Moose returned and beat him down too.

- X Division Champion Rich Swann defeated Trey Miguel

Another really great match. They slapped the hell out of each other and traded a series of kicks and high spots. Swann won with the 450.

oVe all came down after. They once again pressured Swann to accept the shirt they offered him. They backed him into a corner. Before he could accept or decline, LAX came out.

- Impact Tag Team Champions LAX defeated oVe

Another really fun match. Both teams looked good, with LAX going over strong in the end.

- Brian Cage defeated Moose

This match was very physically intense. It was more impactful than the match they had on TV a few weeks ago, and this one had a definitive winner. Moose tried to use a chair. He missed, which allowed Cage to hit the Drill Claw to win. The fans chanted "Next world champ."

All in all, this was a great night of tapings despite the technical problems. It’s clear that Cage was by far the most over guy on the whole show.

Okay it is not the spot itself here Impact

It is the fact you did it apparently IN THE MIDDLE OF THE f***ING MATCH! and it meant nothing atleast in the write up...and even then JOHNNY IS YOUR WORLD CHAMPION you are not taking him off TV for weeks....and ya didn't because he is in the rest of the show and or the very next show....SO WHY? JUST WHY?
