Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/tna-xplosion-1042024.html

Rosemary vs Maggie Moore

MM takes a boot early and gets Rose's waist. Rose reverses it and takes back elbows. MM kneelifts her then hip attacks her. Wendy Choo cheapshots MM on the apron and holds her on the bottom rope for a forearm from Rose. Rose then hanging headscissors her. Rose pulls her down by the hair and bangs her head off the buckles. Rose hits chest forearms.

Rose exploders MM. MM hits some forearms and gets clubbed on. Rose chinlocks MM. MM samoan drops Rose. Rose misses a corner charge and takes a pump kick. MM basement dropkicks her. Choo distracts MM on the apron and MM facekicks her off. Rose rakes the eyes and hits a reverse ddt for 2. Rose takes a pump kick while on the buckles and MM driveby kicks her on the apron. MM 2nd rope blockbusters her for 2. MM misses a top rope moonsault. Rose spears her and pulls her up on the pin attempt. Rose hits a sitout double underhook bomb and wins.

Thoughts: Moore had a decent showing here. She's 6 foot tall, decent looking and did a moonsault here. She might be worth giving another shot to. They did more here than I expected and had some false finished. It wasn't bad. 

Around the Ring with Gia Miller

Frankie Kazarian is this week's guest. Kaz wants to know why it's not called "Around the Table" since there's no ring here.

Kaz says he likes Gia and says he wants to talk about horror movies. Gia says Pearl is her favorite horror movie. Kaz likes the original Halloween movie and says it's a masterclass of film making. Gia says she likes The Blair Witch Project. Kaz says he saw it by himself and said it weirded him out. Gia says he needs to come back as it was one of the best editions of this she has done.

Trav hits running forearms. Trav hits a 2nd rope dropkick on Steve. Trav does an octopus on Steve. Trav claps Steve's ears then takes an olympic slam. Steve lariats him. Steve lariats him then uranage backbreakers him.

Steve topes Judas when Trav moves. Steve forearms Trav down outside. Trav is in tree of woe and Steve spears him. Steve then hits a KIA and wins.

Thoughts: They made the most they could out of the match and I thought they did good with it. They came up with some creative spots to deal with the interference in this one and kept it moving. Steve's offense also looked good as usual. I had no issues with this.

Overall thoughts: Only two new matches and a new interview segment as usual. None of it was must see but Steve and Travis did a good job in their match. I wouldn't recommend this one but there's worse ways to spend 20 minutes.
