    NJPW G1 Climax Kicks Off Tonight in Dallas - 5 Tournament Matches, Okada vs Tanahashi, KENTA Debuts & More

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 04:57 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/njpw-g1-climax-kicks-off-tonight-in-dallas-5-tournament-matches-okada-vs-tanahashi-kenta-debuts-more/


    New Japan Pro-Wrestling returns to the United States this evening for the
    start of the 2019 G1 Climax, bringing the most grueling tournament in pro wrestling history to the west for the very first time.

    Tonights show will see five big singles matches from the A Block, headlined
    by one of the greatest rivalries in the history of Japanese wrestling, as
    IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada faces off against The Ace Hiroshi Tanahashi one more time. These two could pump out five star performances in their sleep.

    G1 Climax in Dallas kicks off at 6PM ET and will be broadcast on AXS TV in
    the United States, as well as NJPW World internationally.

    In another highly anticipated contest, the Golden Star Kota Ibushi takes on KENTA (the former Hideo Itami) in what could be a show-stealing
    performance. KENTA has a whole lot to prove returning to Japan after such a disappointing run in WWE, but hell have to get through one of the top
    wrestlers in the world and a potential front-runner to win the whole tournament.

    Another key match to keep your eye on, IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay has his first G1 Climax match ever, after demanding a spot in the tournament to prove the best junior in the world can hang with the best heavyweights on the planet. Hell be up against Suzuki-Guns big man Lance Archer, who will be looking to make a name for himself as his long-time tag team partner Davey Boy Smith Jr. has left the promotion, making him a
    singles star once more.

    Sanada and Zack Sabre Jr. square off in a battle of New Japans hottest
    rising stars, and two of the hardest hitters collide as Bullet Clubs Bad
    Luck Fale battles Los Ingobernables de Japans big EVIL, rounding out the
    first five tournament matches of this years G1.

    Also announced:

    Jushin Thunder Liger, Toru Yano & Juice Robinson vs. Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi & Bushi
    Shota Umino & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Ren Narita & Jeff Cobb
    Roppongi 3K vs. Guerrillas of Destiny
    Yoshi-Hashi & Hirooki Goto vs. Jay White & Chase Owens

    Impact Wrestling Results (7/5): The Rascalz Battle in Triple Threat, Final
    Show Before Slammiversary

    Impact Wrestling Results

    July 5, 2019

    Its the final show before Slammiversary!

    TJP def. Ace Austin // Great opening match. They gave them proper time to work and Austin actually got to open up a bitch and show that he can
    actually work. TJP got the win again with a kneebar submission, giving Ace
    his second loss in Impact. This time he had two weeks to prepare, so hes
    got no excuse.



    Brian Cage and Michael Elgin lift a lot of weights in the gym. Elgin is in the best shape of his life going into the Slammiversary main event.

    Kiera Hogan def. Madison Rayne // Another big win for the up-and-coming Hogan, who got a (somewhat) legit win after a superkick and the Fishermans Buster for a (somewhat) clean pin, albeit with Jordynne Grace being a distraction at ringside. Grace hits the ring after the match and Hogan immediately bails.

    James Mitchell is having a very difficult time trying to keep Su Yung and Jessicka Havoc from killing each other. He tells them to find a way to band together because its the only way theyre taking the Knockouts Championship
    back from Taya at Slammiversary.

    Retro Review: TNA Slammiversary 2005 - A Raven Becomes King

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 07:00 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/retro-review-tna-slammiversary-2005-a-raven-becomes-king/


    TNA Slammiversary

    June 19, 2005

    Orlando, FL

    Slammiversary was created in 2005 to commemorate the three-year
    anniversary of the very first TNA Wrestling event in June 2002. The weekly
    TNA Impact series was a little over one year old at this point. Weve got AJ Styles coming in as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion defending in the
    second ever King of the Mountain match, and Christopher Daniels defending
    the X-Division Championship.

    Don West and Mike Tenay are on commentary. Were informed that Jeff Jarrett has been pulled from tonights main event, after attacking Raven during the pre-show and getting into a physical altercation with a fan. Raven has
    replaced him in the King of the Mountain.
    DELIRIOUS vs. ZACK GOWEN vs. ELIX SKIPPER vs. JERELLE CLARK vs. THE AMAZING
    RED vs. SHARK BOY

    Its a 6-way match but only two men are legal at a time. Skipper has the
    size advantage over everyone. Amazing Red lit him up with some quick
    dropkicks and en enzuigiri to get things started. Clark tags in and gets
    thrown with a headscissors and takes an enzuigiri as well. The one-legged Warrior tags in and gets dropkicked across the ring by Shark Boy.

    Everybody starts brawling to the floor with Skipper doing a moonsault
    through several guys. Gowen is next to fly but he gets dropkicked out of
    the air by Delirious. Red flies instead with a beautiful corkscrew to the floor, taking out four people. They set up a Tower of Doom spot in the
    corner with Skipper and Shark Boy suplexing Clark and Red, with Delirious
    on top. Gowen out of nowhere with a springboard Shooting Star, but its
    broken up.

    Clark nearly murdered Red with a Teabag Driver that dropped him on his
    head. Delirious just about decapitated everyone else with running knee
    strikes all around the ring, but Shark Boy caught him with the Deep Sea
    Drop! Shark Boy wins it! Shell yeah!

    Its about as good as youd expect from an early X-Division match only given about 6 minutes to try and put 6 different guys over. To that end, they
    more or less succeeded. Everyone had at least one memorable moment. Amazing
    Red was the stand-out, and Shark Boy is pretty over with the Impact Zone
    fans. Its a fun collection of moves, impressive athletics and acrobatics,
    but not much more. 
    Rating: 6.5/10


    Abyss is seen backstage breaking glass with his bare hands. Im not an
    expert, but I think somethings bothering that guy

    Shocker is interviewed and fumbles with his words, calling himself the
    best lucha libre star in the whole world right now. An incredibly young
    Alex Shelley shows up looking like a member of NSync. He brags about being
    able to do every style in the world, and slaps Shocker before heading out
    to the ring.
    ALEX SHELLEY vs. SHOCKER

    This one kicks off with a great back-and-forth technical exchange, as
    Shocker takes him down to the mat with a number of holds, but Shelley is
    able to counter-grapple at every turn. They square up again, and again its
    a 50/50 exchange. Shelley dodges a kick and brings him back to the mat
    again, and this time gets a bit too cocky and offers the lucha star a free shot, mockingly kissing his boot.

    Shocker with a headscissors takedown sending Shelley to the floor, and he follows with a big dropkick off the apron. It wasnt pretty, but it was certainly effective! Shocker with a body slam before heading up for a moonsault, but Shelley gets the knees up and rolls him into a nasty
    submission, almost like a seated octopus stretch. He heads to the top
    again, but Shocker dropkicks him out of the air and followed with a suicide dive out to the floor, connecting skull-to-skull.

    The two go back to wrestling hold-for-hold rolling each other into about a hundred different pinning combinations. They had counters for everything.
    In the end Shocker got the better of the exchange reversing a Magistral
    cradle into a small package to win.

    A pretty good technical match, albeit it one that might have gone on a bit
    too long for what they had planned out. With the opener getting shafted on time, both probably could have benefited from switching this up. Im a
    sucker for counter grappling, so I enjoyed it despite its flaws. Instead of picking up pace in the third act they slowed it back down, the final
    sequence of counters may have gone on a bit too long, and the finish just
    kind of happened with little to no fanfare. To be fair, the entire match happened with little to no fanfare. The rather unenthused crowd didnt help things much. 
    Rating: 6.5/10


    3Live Kru is hanging out backstage with Konnan questioning the loyalties
    of B.G. James heading into tonights match with his old tag team partner,
    The Outlaw. James rants for way too long about being 3Live Kru for life, or whatever, trying really hard not to be a middle-aged white dude from
    Marietta, Georgia. I always forget how absurd this faction was.
    RON KILLINGS vs. THE OUTLAW

    We get this personal beef off to a raging start with asimple wrist lock
    from The Outlaw, followed by an even more explosive side headlock. Killings eventually gets in a few shots and came off the top rope with a missile dropkick. Things spilled to the floor and The Outlaw screw it Billy Gunn throws his opponent into the barricade several times.

    The rest of the match is a slow, unfortunately sloppy grind with Gunn controlling the action with somewhat generic offense. Shoulder tackles, headlocks, big boots, etc. In the last few seconds the two traded finisher attempts, with Gunn dodging a Scissors Kick and hitting the Fameasser, but Killings rolled him up for the win.

    Meh. I wanted this to be good, because its Billy Gunn and R-Truth, but its
    far too slow and Gunn looked like he was sleep-walking through spots. 
    Rating: 3/10

    Road Dogg rushes the ring with a steel chair, but he cant hit Gunn with
    it. Konnan rushes the ring and goes after Gunn, who escapes, then gets into Doggs face screaming at him for not doing the right thing. So not only was
    the match bad, but they didnt even resolve the angle built up for the PPV.


    Scott DAmore cuts a long, insane promo about how great Canada is,
    comparing himself to the great military generals like Hitler, Mussolini,
    and Stalin. I wonder whos done more cocaine at this show, him or Don West.
    THE NATURALS (ANDY DOUGLAS & CHASE STEVENS) (c) vs. TEAM CANADA (ERIC YOUNG
    & PETEY WILLIAMS) FOR THE NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

    DAmore leads Team Canada to ringside and stops to scream at the commentary
    team for some reason. A good back and forth between Stevens and Young to
    get started, before Douglas tags in and puts Williams in a modified
    Cloverleaf. Petey looks so different with long hair

    A distraction from DAmore lead to Team Canada double-teaming Chase Stevens
    on the floor, before taking him back into the ring and beating the hell out
    of him with quick, alternating tags. This went on forever. An absolute
    mugging from the Canadians on this poor kid for well over five minutes. Not even a semblance of offense from the Naturals.

    After an eternity Douglas goes outside and attacks the other members of
    Team Canada, and finally gets the hot tag from his partner. He drops
    Williams with a Full Nelson backbreaker, and in comes Stevens who is still alive somehow looking for a Tornado DDT, but Petey counters into a crazy
    DDT.

    All hell breaks loose and the Naturals hit Williams with the Natural
    Disaster, but he apparently kicked out at two-and-three-quarters. The
    camera completely blew the shot. They hit Young with the Natural Disaster
    as well, but DAmore uses a hockey stick to blast one of them. In all of the chaos a random microphone gets rolled into the ring. Stevens blasts Young
    with the microphone and makes the cover to retain the titles. Were told its
    the legendary Jimmy Hart who is received as the secret enforcer for the champions, but again the camera totally blew it.

    Not bad. The action was completely one-sided for an absurd amount of time,
    like to the point where nobody would book a match that way without trying
    to completely bury the champions? The retaining champions? I dont know.
    Several sprints at the beginning and end were really good, but the pacing
    was problematic and the cameras blew two back-to-back important spots
    during the finish.
    Rating: 6/10


    Sean Waltman is interviewed backstage and looks stoned as hell. Hes asked
    how he got himself in the main event, and claims to be a great backstage politician.

    Mike Tenay goes crazy for the upcoming debut of Samoa Joe, who has been dominating Ring of Honor and will be wrestling his first match in a TNA
    ring up next
    SAMOA JOE vs. SONJAY DUTT

    Joe with an enormous STO exploding out of the corner, dropping Dutt hard on
    the back of his neck to kick this one off. He follows up with a few running kicks to the back of the head, before connecting with a knee strike, and a running boot in the corner that nearly knocked Dutt out cold. Its all Joe,
    as he throws all his weight down with a running senton on his opponents
    back.

    Dutt gets a bit of momentum rolling with an enzuigiri in the corner, before flying off the top with a 450 splash. He tries for it again but lands on
    his feet, running the ropes right into a snap powerslam from Joe. The
    Samoan puts him on the top rope, connects with a jumping enzuigiri, and its Muscle Buster City, baby! Joe locks in a rear naked choke, and this one is over.

    Dont let the rating fool you this is a great segment and an impressive TNA debut for Samoa Joe, who obviously go on to become one of the promotions biggest stars ever. I almost didnt give this a rating, but Dutt got in just enough action for it to be considered an actual, competitive wrestling
    match. 
    Rating: 5/10


    Raven is hanging out in a staircase. He says hed rather hug a suicide
    bomber than be his opponents tonight. Something about craters of
    destructive glory, and a future paved with bloody kisses of pain, etc. Hes
    got a charity of vengeance, and hes grinding the bones of his opponents
    down to a powder, leaving their families with nothing. He calls himself a
    human cancer, and the only way to stop him is to kill the host. Raven needs therapy.
    BOBBY ROODE vs. LANCE HOYT

    Holy crap, its Lance Archer.

    The big man tosses Roode across the ring twice, before clotheslining him
    over the top rope. He went out after him, but Scott DAmore clipped his
    knees from behind and kicked him in the face. Come on, do your job, ref!

    The Team Canada distractions are enough for Roode to stay in control for a
    few minutes, keeping his opponent on the mat. Hoyt rallies back with big
    right hands, but Roode nails him with a series of knee strikes right to the gut, before connecting with a big back suplex. Again he slows things down
    with a few more suplexes, but Hoyt is ready for it this time and again
    rallies with wild rights and lefts.

    He hits a giant chokeslam before heading to the top rope, but of course
    DAmore is there to distract him. Roode catches him with a nasty running jacknife powerbomb, and is pissed off when thats not enough. DAmore gives
    him a hockey stick, but the referee takes it away and Hoyt levels him with
    a lariat. He looks to put the match away, but of course DAmore is back again grabbing a hold of his ankle. Huge neckbreaker from Roode, and makes the cover to win.

    After the match DAmore trashed Hoyt on the mic while Roode continued to
    beat him down. To add insult to injury the chubby, hairy man removed his
    shirt and got in a few shots of his own. Hoyt fought back and sent Roode
    flying out of the ring, then dropped DAmore to maybe the biggest pop of the night. He went to the top rope and connected with a giant moonsault, then escaped the ring before the rest of Team Canada could get there.

    They had a good match, but at this point the constant and blatant Scott
    DAmore interference is starting to ruin the show. As Im typing this, hes
    being stretchered out by at least a dozen members of security, taking up
    even more time. 
    Rating: 6/10


    3Live Kru is back. Konnan hypes up the crowd, and Road Dogg does his usual shtick that everyone chants along with him.
    KONAN & B.G. JAMES vs. JAMES STORM & CHRIS HARRIS

    Konnan is absolutely jacked. He manages to beat up both opponents and
    attacks them with one of his shoes. Harris hit a rolling elbow and tagged
    in Storm, who took over momentarily with a series of big suplexes and power offense. Road Dogg tags in but suffers a similar fate as the Wildcats beat
    on him with consistent tags and quick, straightforward offense.

    Lets leap forward a few minutes, as the beating from Team Canada continues.
    The Outlaw runs out mid-match and Konnan goes after him. The two fight up
    the ramp leaving B.G. alone in the ring to deal with both of Americas Most Wanted. This ones over.

    This felt like more of a TV segment than the big finale of a hot angle on
    live pay-per-view. A nothing match with another ambiguous ending further teasing and stretching this out unnecessarily. If this was one of the
    reasons you ordered the PPV, to see this angle finally play out, I feel bad
    for you. 
    Rating: 2.5/10

    After the match things break down further between Konnan and B.G. James as Billy Gunn taunts them both from the entrance ramp. James throws his hands
    up in the air and walks out on the other side of the building, as all three guys stare each other down.

    CHRIS SABIN vs. MICHAEL SHANE vs. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (c) FOR THE
    X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

    Its all Daniels from the start as he lands a series of dropkicks to both
    guys, hits a Flatliner on Sabin and rolls him into the Last Chancery. Shane makes the save and levels both with lariats, and dodges Sabin flying off
    the top rope, taking out the champion instead. The action heads to the
    floor and Daniels hits a split-legged moonsault off the ropes to the
    outside, taking out Sabin, but Shane rolled him back into the ring and
    nearly stole the title with a quick small package.

    Shane continues to impress with a snap powerslam on Sabin, followed by a springboard leg drop. Daniels pulled him to the floor and threw him into
    the ring post, and Sabin came flying over the ropes crashing through him.
    In an incredible spot Sabin did a tilt-a-whirl DDT on one of them, bouncing
    off the others chest.

    Traci and Trinity randomly started fighting with each other. Sabin hits a Michinoku Driver and pins Shane to eliminate him from the match, because Daniels was too busy murdering Trinity with the Angels Wings to break it up.

    Its down to two, and Daniels nearly kills Sabin with a Burning Hammer, but kicks out at two-and-a-half. Sabin bounced back with a headcissors into a
    small package for two, and hit a springboard bulldog for another two.
    Northern Lights suplex bridgetwo. Nothing he did could put away the
    champion.

    Daniels catches his opponent coming off the ropes with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He motions for the Best Moonsault Ever, hits to the top and connects the move lives up to its name but somehow Sabin still gets his shoulder up before three. The challenger digs down deep with a springboard Flatliner out of nowhere. Daniels kicks the ropes out from under him, hits
    the Angels Wings, and scores the win to retain the X-Division title. Really good match.

    This was easily the best match of the night. The triple threat was a great
    time with a lot of innovative, fast-paced offense, but the second half
    singles match between Daniels and Sabin was even better. I could have done without the cheap interference, which is something Ive said a lot
    throughout the show. 
    Rating: 8/10


    If youve never seen a King of the Mountain match, hold on to your horses, kids. So theres a small red cage. Wrestlers are ineligible to win until
    they get a pinfall or submission on another competitor. Then they must
    retrieve the title from an official, climb a ladder and hang it up to win.
    If you get pinned or submit, you must spend a pre-determined amount of time locked in the penalty box
    AJ STYLES vs. ABYSS vs. RAVEN vs. MONTY BROWN vs. SEAN WALTMAN IN A KING OF
    THE MOUNTAIN MATCH FOR THE VACANT NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

    Its all-out chaos! Raven must spend the first three minutes in the penalty
    box. Brown goes on a rampage blowing through everybody with lariats and shoulder tackles. He sent Waltman flying with a running knee to the back.
    Brown goes blow for blow with Abyss as Raven hit the ring and ran right
    into a chokeslam from the Monster. In all the madness Waltman was pinned,
    and goes to the penalty box.

    Styles reemerges after doing a great job of hiding the entire match. He springboards into the ring and sticks Abyss and Brown with a series of
    corner splashes, but the later sends him flying into space with a big
    Pounce. Raven covered him in the floor and the ref counted to three. Styles goes to the penalty box.

    Raven blasts the two big guys with a trash can to the skull, and managed to knock down Monty Brown with lariats. Waltman is back and hes got a trash
    can as well, but he runs right into a big boot from the Monster. The can
    now has an X-Pac shaped dent in it. Abyss hits the Black Hole Slam on Brown
    and covers him for three, sending him to the box as well.

    Raven eats the Styles Clash, but for some reason Abyss breaks up the pin. Styles and Waltman put the Monster on a table and the Phenomenal One went
    to the top rope, hitting the Spiral Tap through the table on the outside!
    Wow!

    Styles is the first to grab the NWA title belt and Waltman acts like hes
    going to help him win the title but turns on him, hitting the X-Factor from
    the top of a ladder. Everyone is now eligible. Ravens got a staple gun and plants a few in Waltmans head, but Waltman kicks him in the nuts and
    stapled his unmentionables. Abyss hit the ring, but got stapled in the ding-dong as well.

    It once again comes down to Waltman and Styles on top of a ladder, trading rights and lefts. Abyss pushes the ladder over and sends them both crashing
    to the floor, Styles exploding through a table. Abyss started to climb but Monty Brown came out of nowhere to spear him through a table. Raven hits
    the Even Flow DDT on Brown and throws him to the floor, begins his climb
    and secures the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! We have a new champion!


    Rating: 7.5/10

    A bloody Raven poses on top of the ladder with the Ten Pounds of Gold
    raised high in the air. Waltman screams obscenities as he limps up the
    entrance ramp, staring down the new champion. Raven is barely alive and celebrates with the fans in the front row, bleeding all over everybody to
    end the show.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Theres some good stuff on this show and certainly has some historical value
    as the first ever Slammiversary, but its muddied with constant interference
    and over-booking all over the card. DAmore was everywhere. The last two
    matches saved the day, with a great X-Division title match and solid work
    from the X-Division throughout the show. Joes debut is cool, but otherwise
    the rest of the undercard feels largely unimportant.

    WWE Slam Crate Subscribers Havent Received Orders Since January Despite
    Still Being Charged

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 06:15 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/wwe-slam-crate-subscribers-havent-received-orders-since-january-despite-still-being-charged/


    WWE Slam Crate, the officially licensed subscription service from
    LootCrate, may be guilty of scamming its customers out of some serious cash.

    A Reddit post from r/SquaredCircle user catslug666 first brought the issue
    to light, claiming to be out nearly $100 after her last two WWE Slam Crates never arrived. Additionally, the last box she did receive, all the way back
    in January, was missing an item as well as a poster that each crate is
    supposed to contain, detailing each of the objects in that months crate.

    The Reddit user also states that not only was the WrestleMania season Slam Crate never shipped, but it has now been deleted entirely from her account history after the estimated arrival date was pushed back multiple times.
    The recent NXT crate, which was due to ship at the end of May, was also
    never sent out.

    This is clearly not an isolated incident. Dozens of others on Twitter have complained about not receiving the last two Slam Crates. With another
    payment on the horizon for long-term subscribers, many have reached out to
    both WWE and SlamCrate looking for help, but theres no word on anyone
    having received an official response.

    Many have asked the obvious question if theyre paying for something that
    never arrives, why not unsubscribe? And while that has clearly been the frustrating solution for many former subscribers, there are many people who paid up front for a big discount on up to 3 or even 6 Slam Crates at a
    time, especially with specials during the holiday season.

    Those individuals will have shelled out upwards of $200 each for products theyre unlikely to ever receive, and at present time appear to have no one
    to contact about the situation.

    Anyone subscribe to Wwe slam crate??? Feel like I’m missing multiple
    crates, yet they have no problem charging me on the day. Think it may be
    time to cancel.

    - The Chairman (@ChairmanSV) July 4, 2019



    Hey @lootcrate any reason why the 2 month late Mania @WWE slam crate is not listed in my account anymore? What reason do you have for this?

    - Brian Sargent (@negative4life) July 5, 2019



    @AskLoot I still have yet to receive my WWE Slam Crate from May. The
    website keeps pushing back the shipping date every week it seems. Is the
    crate still happening? I see two crates now that were supposed to be
    shipped by now. Im backed-up two Slam Crates.

    @lootcrate Getting beyond a joke now. Still waiting for Aprils WWE slam
    crate. My next payment is due to come out so you will have taken 3 payments without me receiving a crate. Think its time to end this subscription

    @lootcrate has way delayed the @WWE Slam Crate yet again for over 2 months
    for the 3rd conservative time while charging it’s subscribers on time! I subscribed for my sons and fed up with this! @StephMcMahon or whom ever
    handles these business partnerships needs to step in!

    Scott Dawson Lists Top Stars from AEW, ROH & NJPW in List of Tag Teams The Revival is Better Than

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 05:45 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/scott-dawson-lists-top-stars-from-aew-roh-njpw-in-list-of-tag-teams-the-revival-is-better-than/


    Scott Dawson, one half of WWE Raw Tag Team Champions The Revival, has made another incredibly bold claim on social media.

    The champ simply wrote out a list of teams that he and Dash Wilder are
    better than, including names like the Usos, the New Day, the Street
    Profits, Heavy Machinery and the IIconics, among others.

    But Dawsons claim of tag team dominance extended beyond just his
    competition in WWE, name-dropping All Elite Wrestlings Young Bucks, Ring of Honors Briscoe brothers, and New Japan Pro-Wrestlings Guerrillas of Destiny.

    FTR.

    Better than the Hardys. Better than G.O.D. Better than IICONICS. Better
    than Heavy Machinery. Better than The Briscoes.

    New Impact World Tag Team Champions Crowned, Slammiversary Match Now in Question

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 05:30 PM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/new-impact-world-tag-team-champions-crowned-slammiversary-match-now-in-question/


    Ethan Page and Josh Alexander defeated Santana and Ortiz of LAX at tonights Impact Wrestling Bash at the Brewery special, to become the new Impact
    World Tag Team Champions.

    This victory for The North comes out of left field, as LAX has been heavily involved in a rivalry with The Rascalz building towards a title match at
    this weekends Slammiversary pay-per-view. It also makes tonights episode of Impact Wrestling television a bit more awkward as it continues the build towards that highly anticipated championship match.

    We have reached out to Impact for comment regarding the possibility of an injury forcing a change of plans, as well as the state of Sundays
    advertised match for the Impact World Tag Team Championships.
