Impact Wrestling Sacrifice 2021 - 3/13/2021
I am skipping the intergender match here.
Tag Team Match: Decay (Black Taurus & Crazzy Steve) w/ Rosemary vs. Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe & Luster The Legend)
Adam gets his neck twisted early by Steve. Taurus does a neat roll up Luster's back in an armdrag. Decay 2v1's Luster and Taurus does a tilt-a-whirl into a splash on Luster. Adam gets caught on a hiptoss into a double backbreaker.
Taurus got the win with his spinning falcon arrow driver Rosemary green misted one of the Scum members. Not a bad opener at all here. There really wasn't any dull moments and they had a lot of double teams. Taurus as usual continues to be a standout with a great look, some power moves and some agility.

Tag Team Match: James Storm & Chris Sabin w/ Jake Something vs. Violent By Design (Joe Doering & Deaner) w/ Eric Young
Deaner got the win after a Rhyno spear on Sabin. This was mostly Sabin and Storm getting bullied around by the bigger guys. We had a ref bump then stuff hit the fan. The ref got bumped to the outside, E-Y and Jake went at it with Jake taking a neckbreaker on the floor then Rhyno came in and speared Sabin to help Deaner win it. I actually liked this some until the shenanigans started.
Brian Myers gave money to Hernandez. He says the whole world is crashing around him but he's going to beat Eddie tonight.
Hold Harmless Match: Brian Myers vs. Eddie Edwards
Eddie won with a shining wizard with an object on his knee. This was slower paced and eventually Hernandez and Matt Cardona got involved. This had a lot of basic weapons shots here with trash can lids, kendo sticks and some chairs. They did a superplex onto a pile of chairs and went through a table with Eddie hitting a backpack stunner on Myers through it. Cardona got a ton of air on a pop-up legdrop on Hernandez.
Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship Match: Fire 'N Flava (Kiera Hogan & Tasha Steelz) (c) vs. Jordynne Grace & Jazz
Kiera won with a fisherman's neckbreaker. Jazz got beat up early, Grace saved her and then this went on longer than it needed to with Jazz getting a comeback and FnF winning it. Jazz caught Tasha off a 2nd rope crossbody and did a nice sit out slam on her. Jazz and Tasha had a nice little strike exchange. Hogan and Steelze bridged Grace on the 2nd rope in the neckbreaker position and did a double stomp from the top on her, though it mostly missed. Grace was pretty good here with most of her offense looking legit. Jazz really wasn't good in her prime and she is really hobbling around.
Moose was interviewed but said he had done enough talking and wanted none of it.

Impact X-Division Championship Match: TJP (c) vs. Ace Austin w/ Madman Fulton
Ace did his fosbury flop on TJP after TJP dropkicked Fulton through the ropes. Ace jumped off the bottom rope onto the 2nd rope with an enzugiri/gamengiri. TJP hit a nice springboard into a DDT on Ace then a slingshot springboard dropkick. They did a spot where they facekicked each other at the same time. Ace also did his cool springboard helicopter legdrop. TJP randomly collapsed and after working the knee did a hard release backdrop on Ace. Ace then did his weird curbstomp type of move and won with a flipping ddt. The first half was fine but the leg work was really out of nowhere as was TJP's collapse and neither one of those things really lead to anything.

We had a Swinger's Palace segment with Kaleb and Tenille. Alisha Edwards challenges Tenille to a match and they argue over who will ask D'Amore first.
Impact Knockouts Championship Match: Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. ODB
Deonna won with a Fujiwara armbar. Susan and Kimber Lee were kicked out early after getting involved and getting caught. They both got a little in and DP worked her arm a little. ODB missed a move off the buckles then DP armbarred her for the finish. Not that great as expected.
Dashwood, Kaleb and Alisha Edwards went up to D'Anore. Eddie's wife and Dashwood wanted a match with each other.

Impact World Tag Team Championship Match: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) (c) vs. FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson)
Finlay was beat down for a long time to start this. As expected Juice made the hot tag and comeback Juice had pink stuff all over his shirt for some reason. Gallows hit a nice high kick and Karl hit a very high spinebuster on Juice. They did a Demolition Decapitation on karl with Finlay getting very high on the top for it and landing hard down on Karl. Then FinnJuice hit a doomsday device on Karl and won it. This wasn't that good and the beat down in the ifrst half went way too long.
Impact World Championship & TNA World Heavyweight Championship Unification Match: Rich Swann (Impact) vs. Moose (TNA)
The winner of htis faces Kenny Omega in a title for title match and it's a good bet either will lose. Moose caught Swann's dives early and mostly dominated him early. Moose back body dropped Swann and Swann did a 450 for it in a cool spot. Moose grabbed Swann by the hair and wrapped the hair around the ropes as he pulled. Swanna got slammed on a uranage and did a nice sell for it. Moose then pulled Swanna's hair and wrapped it through the ropes. Swann gets beat up for a while, then comes back with a hurricanrana off the top and some high kicks. Moose ran up the buckles and Swann did a handspring off the ropes into a cutter at the same time in a neat spot.
Swann hit a very nice 450 for 2. They fought up top and Swann bit his bald head. Swann sat up there forever then Moose walked up the buckles and did a top rope flipping slam but of course it was only for 2. Moose misses a spear to go into tbe buckles twice. Swann then countered a Moose move, making him go into a chair set up between the ropes and rolled him up to win.
This was a really good match up until the kick out on the fallaway slam from the top. That should not have happened. Still ended up being pretty good though with two very cool spots. Moose does look like an idiot here though for pretending to be champ for a while and proving he isn't worthy of being the champ.
Overall thoughts: Not the best show ever, but the main was good and that usually helps the rest of the show seem better.
