Jeff knows he and Matt have become famous out of taking huge risks, and owes Matt so much, but he feels uneasy about tonight's main event. Matt feels he's let everyone down, but says tonight is the night for this. He knows Ethan Carter III uses his ego to get around, and decided to beat him at his own game by putting his TNA career on the line. He plans to beat EC3 at his own game and make everyone proud. Jeff understands, and says Matt still has a chance. Suddenly, Tyrus shows up and says that their dreams will become nightmares.

Wednesday Night iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling recap for December 2, 2015

I know, I know... it's been MONTHS. This is only until Lucha Undeground graces my TV screen again on Wednesdays. YEAH, I SAID IT! :D

Wrestler of the Day - 10/22: Brooke!

Short Wrestler and Matches of the Day posts for the rest of this week. I'm sorry.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is former WWE Diva, current TNA Knockout, and a former 3-time Knockouts Champion, Brooke!

Here's a match from her rivalry with Gail Kim, where she picks up her first Knockouts Championship.

Match of the Day - 10/19/2015: Taryn Terrell vs. Gail Kim!

Taking it to TNA for today’s Match of the Day, where Taryn Terrell goes against Gail Kim in a Last Knockout Standing Match. This match took place at Slammiversary back in 2013, and it definitely put Taryn Terrell on the map as a competitor (Tiffany, anybody?). In my opinion, this match stole the entire show, which is rare in itself, since not many women’s wrestling matches achieve this feat on the major leagues level (WWE, TNA…). This is also marks the first of many great matches they would have against one another for the next two years, including a #1 Contenders Ladder Match.

Gail Kim vs Taryn Terrell - Last Knockout Standing Match from Jorge Rebelo on Vimeo.

Wrestler of the Day - 9/30: Gail Kim!

Today’s Wrestler of the Day is former WWE Diva and current TNA Knockout, Gail Kim!

I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Gail Kim was not used well in the WWE, simply because of the fact that they were more focused on putting certain WWE Divas over than a Diva like her, who was one of the most experienced women in the WWE while she was there. Also, I felt that she was one of the best Divas to never hold the WWE Divas Championship. But, that’s just my opinion. On the other hand, in TNA, she is seen as one of the best Knockouts to ever grace the company. She’s a five-time Knockouts Champion, and has held the title with the defunct Knockouts Tag Team Championship simultaneously. In a way, she’s greatly revered in the wrestling business, but I can’t help but feel that she is still underrated. Maybe it is because of her second run with the WWE that baffled me.

Here’s one of my favorites, where she faces Taryn Terrell in a Steel Cage Match!

Wednesday Night iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling recap for September 23, 2015

Suddenly, Rockstar Spud appears and talks about how the current situation looks familiar, and says he'd wear the suit Hardy is wearing if it didn't have EC3's face on it. He says he came to EC3 for a job in TNA and did everything he had to do, but reminds him that his new personal assistant is, of course, Jeff Hardy, and says that he's garbage compared to Hardy. As the fans chant "You are garbage," he asks Spud if garbage is an undefeated TNA champion who has beaten everyone in his path and is something the company is built on, then hits Spud in the head with the mic.
