    Impact Wrestling Results - July 5, 2019

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 11:04 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/impact-wrestling-results-july-5-2019/


    Impact Wrestling

    Date: July 5, 2019

    Location: Melrose Ballroom, New York City, New York

    Commentators: Josh Matthews, Don Callis

    It’s the go home show for Slammiversary and things have been going fairly well around here. They’ve done a good job of setting up a lot of the pay
    per view matches while also giving us some good stuff on the regular shows. With some luck, that can continue this week as well. Let’s get to it.

    Opening recap.

    Opening sequence.
    TJP vs. Ace Austin

    Rematch from two weeks ago when TJP returned and handed Austin his first
    loss. Ace takes him down with a headlock to start but TJP rolls out without
    too much trouble. TJP is right back with a headlock on the mat but gets reversed into a headscissors. That means the always cool bouncing handstand escape as this is a match of counters so far.

    A Sharpshooter with a pull of the arm is switched into a Muta Lock as TJP
    gets to show off even more. That’s broken up so TJP dropkicks him to the floor, only to miss a slingshot dropkick to the floor. Austin nails a Space Flying Tiger Drop and busts out a playing card for a paper cut between the fingers.

    It’s time to crank on the arms but TJP flips out with a dropkick to the
    chest for a snazzy counter. Now the slingshot dropkick works but the
    Detonation Kick is countered. A running Trouble in Paradise drops TJP again
    and a rollup with a grab of the rope gets two. They trade kicks to the legs with TJP getting the better of it until he catches Austin in the kneebar
    for the tap at 12:06.

    Result: TJP b. Ace Austin Kneebar (12:06)

    Video on Michael Elgin vs. Brian Cage, which is going to be an eruption.

    Johnny Impact isn’t worry about having John E. Bravo as his partner tonight against Rich Swann and Willie Mack. They’re Team Johnny and we get some
    Mega Powers impressions.

    Announcers preview.
    Kiera Hogan vs. Madison Rayne

    Jordynne Grace is on commentary and Kiera has a rather similar walk to the ring/entrance as Tessa Blanchard. Madison starts fast with a pair of
    rollups for two each, sending Kiera outside for a breather. That means an argument with Grace, who gets shoved back into her seat. Back in and Kiera
    hits some running shots in the corner for two. Madison scores with an
    enziguri and a ripcord cutter for two of her own. Kiera grabs a rollup with
    her feet on the ropes but Grace breaks it up, leaving Kiera to grab a fisherman’s neckbreaker for the pin at 4:23.

    Result: Kiera Hogan b. Madison Rayne Fishermans neckbreaker (4:23)

    Gama Singh gives Rohit Raju some special tea from a special tea set but the Deaners sneak in and replace it with whiskey. All three: “DEANERS!!!” Rohit: “It’s not bad.”

    James Mitchell tries to keep Havok and Su Yung calm before Slammiversary.

    Flashback Moment of the Week: Rosemary vs. Jade in Monster’s Ball at
    Genesis 2017.

    Video on Monster’s Ball.

    Video on Tessa Blanchard vs. Sami Callihan.
    Rohit Raju vs. Laredo Kid

    Kid dives over hit to start but gets taken into the corner for some right
    hands to the face. A quick slam in the corner looks to set up a moonsault….and the bottom rope breaks. Thankfully they’re both fine and Raju grabs a fisherman’s neckbreaker into a Falcon’s Arrow. A snap suplex gives Raju two and Kid hits a headscissors to put him on the floor. That
    means a suicide dive but Kid misses a corkscrew moonsault. A jumping knee
    to the face sets up a top rope double stomp to the back to finish Kid at
    4:33.

    Result: Rohit Raju b. Laredo Kid Top rope double stomp to the back (4:33)

    Video on Moose vs. Rob Van Dam.

    Here’s Moose for a chat. Moose talks about being a big fan of Van Dam’s when he was a kid and he had a great time watching some of Van Dam’s
    matches. Now though, the fans are chanting for Moose because he’s been
    around the world and made millions of dollars too. Van Dam calls himself
    the Whole F’N Show but Moose is Mr. Impact Wrestling. It’s been a few years since Van Dam has been on pay per view so now he can have a chance to prove himself.  Since Van Dam is probably a little fuzzy, we see a video of Moose having attacked Sabu. Cue Van Dam for the brawl but security breaks it up
    in a hurry.
    Trey Miguel vs. Dezmond Xavier vs. Zachary Wentz

    Whoever takes the fall doesn’t get to wrestle in the Tag Team Title match
    on Sunday. I’ve heard worse ideas. They go for some early rollups to start and it’s time to start kicking away as they don’t mind fighting among themselves. Dezmond gets knocked down and Wentz hits a springboard
    corkscrew crossbody for two on Miguel. Trey sends Wentz outside for a hurricanrana through the ropes but a Dezmond distraction lets Wentz hit his
    own dive.

    Back in and the Final Flash gets two on Wentz with Trey making the save
    (not the most logical move in the world). They go with the circle of
    strikes to the face until Trey gets knocked to the floor. Wentz’s running shooting star gets two and Trey runs back in with a running flip dive to
    both. Double low cutters give Trey two each but Wentz is back up in a
    hurry. Back to back superkicks to Miguel sets up the shoving moonsault for
    a double pin on Miguel at 7:03.

    Result: Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz b. Trey Miguel Shoving moonsault (7:03)

    Everyone hugs post match.

    Tessa Blanchard is here and she has her own baseball bat.

    Video on Killer Kross vs. Eddie Edwards, which is over the broken Kenny the kendo stick.

    Killer Kross is in a church and talks about the man who lost everything.
    That story has not been finished yet but that man is searching for his
    ultimate salvation. At Slammiversary, he will have the chance to die for
    his sins. You may now kneel before the Kross. He drinks from a chalice and seems to have blood flow out of his mouth.

    Quick video on Rich Swann vs. Johnny Impact for the X-Division Title.

    Slammiversary rundown.
    John E. Bravo/Johnny Impact vs. Rich Swann/Willie Mack

    Swann and Impact kick at each other to start until Swann scores with a dropkick. Mack comes in for an exchange of flips, capped off by Mack armdragging him down. A flapjack/bulldog combination plants Impact again
    but Bravo offers a distraction so Johnny can get a breather. Impact and
    Swann head outside with the Moonlight Drive planting Swann again. Bravo
    comes in for some stomping and posing before it’s right back to Impact for the chinlock.

    It’s already back to Bravo for some right hands and a chinlock of his own.
    He even loads up his own Moonlight Drive, allowing Impact to come in with a running knee to the head. Swann drops Impact though and tags Mack for the
    big house cleaning. Bravo isn’t interested in tagging back in and it’s the Cannonball into a moonsault to give Mack two. The Flying Chuck drops Mack
    but he breaks through a double clothesline and brings Swann back in. A
    Stunner into the Phoenix splash gives Swann the pin on Bravo at 8:55.

    Result: Rich Swann/Willie Mack b. John E. Bravo/Johnny Impact Phoenix
    splash to Bravo (8:55)

    Sami Callihan and Jake Crist are celebrating Sami’s win over Tessa on
    Sunday. Callihan is annoyed that Dave Crist is taking too long to set up
    the Little Mermaid to calm down Madman Fulton when Tessa shows up with the
    bat to wreck their table. The fight is on and Jake grabs Tessa for the
    save. Sami loads up a bat shot but Tessa escapes and hits her own bat shot
    on Callihan to end the show.

    Sign Them Up. These WWE Stars Have Re-Signed With The Company.

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 04:05 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/sign-wwe-stars-re-signed-company/


    Put your names on the paper. With the rise of AEW, WWE is suddenly having
    to work a lot harder to keep their talent on the roster. A lot of people
    have shown interest in moving over to other companies and that has led to a
    lot of new contracts being signed. Two names seemed ready to go but as of
    now, it appears that they will be sticking around for a long time to come.

    According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson have agreed to new five year deals with WWE. The move comes after WWE seemed to restart the Club faction this past Monday when AJ Styles joined forces with Gallows and Anderson to attack Ricochet. Their original deals were
    scheduled to expire later this year and there were rumors of the two either returning to Japan or signing with AEW.

    Those are some good brothers. Check out what happened on Monday Night Raw: [This post contains video, click to play]


    Opinion: I’m a bit surprised by the two of them signing but really, they’re both in the latter stages of their careers with Anderson at 39 years old
    and Gallows at 35. There is a good chance this is going to be their last
    major contract each and maybe now they can have a bit more fun with Styles
    than being stuck doing nothing all the time. If they’re happy with this, good for them and that’s all that matters.

    What do you expect from Gallows and Anderson? Will their new push work for them? Let us know in the comments below.

    The Boss Has A Thought. What Did Vince McMahon Think Of This Weeks Monday Night Raw?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 04:02 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/boss-thought-vince-mcmahon-think-weeks-monday-night-raw/


    He’s the only opinion that matters. Whether you are a fan of WWE or not, there is no secret to the fact that Vince McMahon is the most important
    name in professional wrestling. He runs WWE with an iron fist and since
    things are not going very well in WWE at the moment, that goes onto
    McMahon. Now though, he is trying to let some other people try running the main TV shows. So how did he like some of the early efforts?

    According to Sports Illustrated, McMahon was very pleased with the way that this week’s Monday Night Raw went. McMahon was said to be especially happy with the “pacing, tone and essence” of the show. This week’s episode was the first after Paul Heyman was named as the Executive Director, though he
    did not have full control over the show. He did however cause various
    things that did take place.

    I would say this went pretty well. Check out the main part of this week’s Monday Night Raw:


    Opinion: Hopefully this leads to more of the same as this week’s Monday
    Night Raw. I don’t mean seeing more of the exact same things, but more of the energized shows that feel like you’re going to miss something if you
    look away. One of the worst things that WWE could do is just change things right back after a week or two so the longer something fresh can go on, the better the show should go.

    What do you want to see from this week’s Monday Night Raw? Will McMahon change his mind again? Let us know in the comments below.

    Back To The Ring. WWE Announces The Return Of Former World Champion To
    Monday Night Raw.

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 04:00 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/back-ring-wwe-announces-return-former-world-champion-monday-night-raw/


    Welcome back. Injuries can derail a lot of things around the wrestling
    world. You never know when someone is going to be taken out of the ring
    for any length of time or for any reason. After the injury takes place,
    there is very little that can be done other than waiting for things to get better. At the moment, there are several wrestlers on the injured list in
    WWE, but one of the bigger names will be coming off of the list very soon.

    As announced on WWE.com, Rey Mysterio will be making his return to Monday
    Night Raw next week. This will be Mysterio’s first appearance since June 3 when Mysterio was forced to vacate the title due to a shoulder injury. The injury took place at Money in the Bank back in May when Mysterio was
    slammed down onto his shoulder. There is no word on what Mysterio will be doing on the show.

    Picking up where he left off. Check out what Mysterio did in his most
    recent appearance:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    Opinion: Mysterio being back, and being back so soon, is a very nice relief
    as you never know how long someone is going to be on the injured list. He might not be the biggest star in the world anymore, but even a slightly lessened Mysterio is still more important and helpful than several healthy wrestlers. Hopefully Mysterio can get back and start helping people get
    over.

    What do you want to see Mysterio do? Who should he feud for first? Let us know in the comments below.

    (FULL MATCH): There He Is Again. Jon Moxley Makes Surprise Indy Appearance
    To Answer A Challenge.

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 03:57 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/full-match-jon-moxley-makes-surprise-indy-appearance-answer-open-challenge/


    All the more violence. Last Saturday, AEW presented their second show with Fyter Fest. While the show was broadcast for free in America, there were
    some big names on the card, including Jon Moxley making his AEW in-ring
    debut in a lights out match against Joey Janela. The match was a violent
    one with all kinds of weapons being used, but Moxley wasn’t done with the carnage this week.

    It’s a wild one. Check out the match in full:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    On Friday at a Future Stars of Wrestling event in Las Vegas, Nevada, Moxley answered a challenge from Impact Wrestling star Killer Kross. The two went
    on to have an impromptu match which featured a lot of violence. Moxley has been making appearances at various independent shows over the last few
    weeks, but he will be appearing exclusively with AEW once their weekly show begins this October.

    Opinion: This is the kind of thing that you don’t get to see very often in wrestling and that’s what makes it cool. Moxley is a huge name at the
    moment and one of the hottest acts in wrestling so seeing him at a much
    smaller show like this is a treat. I’ll take this kind of a violent match over what he had with Janela, though that could be because Kross is more interesting than Janela in the first place.

    What have you thought about Moxley since he debuted in AEW? Where else do
    you want to see him show up? Let us know in the comments below.

    Ring Of Honor TV Results - July 3, 2019

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:01 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/ring-honor-tv-results-july-3-2019/


    Ring of Honor

    Date: July 3, 2019

    Location: ShoWare Center, Kent, Washington

    Commentator: Ian Riccaboni, Colt Cabana

    We’re past Best in the World and other than commentary saying “we’re past Best in the World and it was awesome”, you probably won’t be hearing anything about the show because this was taped in advance. It’s another
    stand alone show and odds are the NWA will be getting a focus, though
    that’s not the worst thing in the world. Let’s get to it.

    We open with a very quick video on tonight’s main event of Mark Haskins vs. Jeff Cobb.

    Opening sequence.
    Jay Briscoe vs. PCO

    They go with the exchange of shoulders and uppercuts to start until Jay
    kicks him in the face. A backdrop sends PCO outside, which just seems to
    get on his nerves so he chops away even more. Another backdrop sends PCO
    back first onto the apron though and we take an early break. Back with Jay swearing as he’s cut in something close to White Noise. Some running shots
    to the face and a forearm to the back put Jay down.

    The Cannonball gets two and Jay gets in even more trouble with a Cactus Clothesline to send both of them outside. A running flip dive through the
    ropes drops Jay again but he’s right back with a hot shot onto the
    barricade. Jay puts him in a chair for a running crossbody but gets yelled
    at for bringing the chair inside. The slugout goes to PCO, who hits a pop
    up powerbomb and goes up for the PCOsault. Jay is right back up with a
    chair shot though and that’s the DQ at 10:50.

    Result: PCO b. Jay Briscoe via DQ when Briscoe used a chair (10:50)

    Post match Mark Briscoe comes out and it’s a Froggy Bow to put PCO through
    a table.

    Mark Haskins says he and his family need him to beat Jeff Cobb.

    Cobb promises to suplex Haskins back to England.

    Brian Johnson promises Josh Woods that he’ll bring honor to the Top
    Prospect Tournament and not be a failure like Woods. A glare sends Johnson running.
    Coast 2 Coast vs. Shane Taylor/Bully Ray

    Ray tells Bobby Cruise to get out of the ring because he’ll do his own entrance. Hold on though as Ray needs to go to the floor to yell at a kid. Taylor and Ali start things off nearly two minutes into the match with Ali slapping him in the face. Some strikes work a bit better but Taylor easily catches a crossbody. LSG comes in for some forearms to the back and we take
    a break.

    Back with Ray crotching Ali against the post and Taylor adding a headbutt
    as the slow offense can continue. Ray takes way too long winding up the
    Bionic elbow and gets superkicked in the chest. He’s fine enough to hit the powerbomb but misses a splash, allowing the tag to LSG. House is cleaned, including a high crossbody for two on Taylor and a double superkick to send Bully outside. Back to back frog splashes get two more on Taylor but Ray
    breaks up Coast to Coast (the second move that Ian said gave the team their name). Greetings From 216 finishes Ali at 10:27.

    Result: Bully Ray/Shane Taylor Greetings From 216 to Ali (10:27)

    We look at Tracy Williams winning a four way match to earn a World Title
    shot next week.
    Mark Haskins vs. Jeff Cobb

    Cobb wrestles him down to the mat without much effort but Haskins pulls him into an ankle lock, which leaves Cobb impressed. Another technical exchange gives us a standoff and we take a break. Back with a chop off going to Cobb
    but his standing moonsault is blocked. Haskins reverses a powerbomb attempt into a triangle choke but he sends Haskins fast first into the buckle in a rather strong counter.

    Haskins fights out of a bearhug and leapfrogs over a charging Cobb to send
    him outside. The suicide dive connects and a top rope double stomp is good
    for two. Cobb forearms him in the back though and nails a spinning
    piledriver for two of his own. Back from another break with Haskins
    starting in on the arm with a stomp and a cross armbreaker. Cobb bails to
    the floor for the escape so Haskins kicks the arm from the apron. That’s
    fine with Cobb, who grabs the spinning belly to back onto the floor.

    They both dive in at nineteen and Cobb catches him with a snap German
    suplex. The standing moonsault crushes Haskins’ back but the Tour of the Islands is blocked again. Haskins can’t get the Sharpshooter so he settles for a Samoan driver for two instead. Cobb catches him on top but Haskins
    blocks the superplex attempt. A Kimura is blocked so Haskins settles for knocking him off the top. The double stomp misses again though and it’s the Tour of the Islands to finish Haskins at 16:05.

    Result: Jeff Cobb b. Mark Haskins Tour of the Islands (16:05)
