TNA Impact 10/31/2024

Last week's show is here:  https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/tna-impact-10242024.html

This show aired on Halloween 2024.

Chris Bey got a bad neck injury during this set of tapings. They had a get well message for him. The match was thankfully not aired.

PCO wishes everyone Happy Halloween and laughs. 

Frankie Kazarian comes out dressed as Joe Hendry and does his hand waving. He mocks Joe's accent and his "we believe" lines. He says we believe in losing and says he failed to become champ at Bound for Glory. He says he can still sing stupid songs and smile like a moron. He then does a clap and stomp. He says he's an idiot whose 15 minutes of fame is over. He says when you say his stupid name, he will appear.

The real Joe Hendry then comes out. Joe runs at him. Kaz gets on the apron and they point at each other doing the Spiderman/Marx Brothers gag.

Joe says Kaz thought it would make him mad, but he says it's entertaining. He says after 47 years, Kaz is finally entertaining. Joe says if he had done something like this a long time ago, it wouldn't take him until the age of 58 to get into the title mix.

Joe says Kaz took something away from him and the people. Joe says he knows Kaz, JBL and Nic Nemeth were in on him getting screwed. Nic Nemeth then comes out. Nic says they went toe to toe before outside forces got involved. He says he believes in Joe. He says he didn't see JBL hit Joe, he just saw JBL punch his brother Ryan. Nic says Joe got screwed and said he deserves a rematch.

Nic says he told Santino that Joe gets his rematch for the title tonight but Santino said no. Nic says the system is flawed. Alisha Edwards, Tasha Steelz, Eddie Edwards and JDC come out.

Eddie says they were in the back and Nic mentioned "The System". Eddie then says, "you say our name and we appear". Eddie says the system isn't flawed and says flawed and failure don't exist in their vocab. Nic asks where the rest of The System is. Nic suggests him and Joe do a tag tonight. The System leaves. Kaz comes in and says it should be a 6-man tag. He says he'll be their partners then odes the hand waving. Nic superkicks Kaz then Joe hits a standing ovation on Kaz.

Thoughts: I always find it amusing when the wrestlers dress up as each other. Kaz was funny here and this segment accomplished a bunch of different things at once. 

Alisha and Tasha stay in the ring. Alisha mocks Masha Slamovich being the champ. She says Masha thinks she's untouchable. She says Masha's title reign is on borrowed time. Masha Slamovich then comes out.

Masha mocks Alisha's, "do you wanna know something?" line. She says everyone is sick and tired of hearing Alisha's voice. Masha says she's looking for a fight tonight and doesn't care which one of them it is with. Tasha takes a shot at her. Masha hits shots on her. Alisha hits Masha from behind then Tasha clips Masha. Masha takes a double team. Jordynne Grace then comes out to help Masha. 

Santino then comes out. He says he knows what he has to do. He says it'll be Tasha and Alisha vs Grace and Masha. Santino also makes Nemeth/Hendry (one of the real Hendry's he says) vs JDC and Eddie Edwards

Thoughts: I thought it was a mistake to have Santino come out and not address Nic saying he declined to do a Nemeth/Hendry rematch.

First Class (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) vs The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel)

KC boots Trey. KC headscissors Trey and kips up. Trey walks up the buckles and flips into an armdrag on KC. Trey dropkicks KC. KC takes MCMG's indian deathlock + baseball side. Wentz then does MCMG's hand signal. Wentz rolls KC into a PK. Wentz running ssp's KC.

KC poses on the ropes and gets dropkicked. Wentz is pulled out then KC tope con hilos him. AJ corner splashes Wentz then running knees him in the corner. KC pulls Wentz's neck forward and double stomps him. Wentz is whipped into an AJ facekick.

AJ pulls on Wentz's arm and chin. AJ pulls Wentz down by the hair and misses a senton. Trey pulls KC's arm down over the ropes, legsweeps it then basement dropkicks him. Trey double knees KC in the corner and meteora's him. Trey handspring jumping knees AJ. AJ takes kicks from both then takes a tope rope swanton from Wentz for 2.

Wenz crossbodies KC over the top and KC takes a hard bump on the floor off of it. Trey gets crotched up top. AJ chokeslams Trey and wins.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here. There was nothing wrong with this one. They kept the pace up and nobody botched anything.

KC jumps off the top, AJ catches him and they pose together after.

Josh Alexander comes out with The Good Hands. He says he's in a bad mood and says not to make it worse. The crowd chants "walking weiner" at him. He says he embarrassed Steve Maclin by himself at Bound for Glory. He says he's in a bad mood as The Northern Armory isn't here due to travel issues. Josh says they were denied at customs. He said he wouldn't put it past anyone in TNA to stooge them off. He says if The Good Hands do a good job tonight, there may be more work in the future.

Steve Maclin, Eric Young and Jonathan Gresham vs Josh Alexander, John Skyler and Jason Hotch

The Good Hands are Josh's mystery partners. This started during a PiP break. JG is triple teamed in the corner. Hotch rolls in and neckbreakers him. John slams JG and legdrops him. They trade forearms. JG basement dropkicks him. EY gets in and hits shots on Hotch. EY dropkicks him. Josh takes a back body drop from EY. Steve gets in and hits shots on Josh. Steve back body drops him.

Steve lariats Josh off the ropes. Josh goes to leave and John rolls up Steve. Steve back elbows him then flying knees Jason. John is put in tree of woe and Steve does his crosshairs spear. Steve hits a KIA on John and wins.

Thoughts: It was a short one with Josh walking out on his team. It wasn't that good and was a waste of time. 

They showed some of Mike Bailey vs El Hijo del Vikingo from Bound for Glory.

We see clips of the Call Your Shot gauntlet at Bound for Glory.

Mike Bailey talks to Trent Seven. Mike says it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it matters if you learn from it. Trent calls it rubbish. Mike says he has everything he needs to be champ. The System walk in. They say they are going to erase everything that happened at Bound for Glory because it never happened and they don't lose.

Mike Bailey says they saw him lose. Moose says they have more success in their fanny packs then Mike has in his career. Moose says he'll take the X-Title if he wants it. Mike says he's welcome to have a shot if he wants it. Trent Seven looks confused by this. 

Ash By Elegance vs Dani Luna

George Iceman does the intro for Ash and says she's the most gorgeous woman in this stupid city. Ash has a witches outfit on as it's Halloween. Heather Reckless is also with Ash and Jody Threat is with Dani.

They lock up and Ash is pushed back. Ash grabs a waistlock and is thrown off. Dani shoulders her over and hits corner lariats. Dani overhead suplexes her then sliding lariats her. Dani goes after Heather and Heather grabs onto Ash, getting dragged into the ring. Dani chases Ash and Ash hides behind George. Ash trips Dani into the steps.

Ash boots Dani in the corner. Ash chops her then chinlocks her. Dani hits forearms and lariats. Dani flying kicks her. Ash pulls her by the hair. Dani hits a slingshot blue thunder bomb for 2. Dani hits a snap german on Ash then hits another german. Heather hits Dani with a broom and Ash top rope swantons Dani to win.

Thoughts: It had a dirty finish and was nothing special as most Ash matches are. 

Lei Ying Lee vs. Maggie Moore

MM was on Xplosion recently and she seems like something worth looking into.

They lock up. Lee wristlocks her. MM rolls and kips up out of it. MM wristlocks her. Lee reverses it. MM shoulders her over. MM blocks a hiptoss and Lee rolls her into a stomp. Lee hits corner punches. MM hits forearms in the corner then Lee hits some.

MM pump kicks her. Lee spin kicks her in the gut. Lee top rope twisting crossbodies her. Lee corkscrew kicks her and wins.

Thoughts: It was a squash and Lee failed to impress again. There weren't any real big highlights here and the best part of Lee's package seems to be her look.

Savannah Evans comes out and boots Lee over. Evans then hits a full nelson slam on her.

Mike Santana talks. He says he has given everyone a glimpse of his world. He says all he has in his world is his word and his balls and he won't break them for anyone. He says he's the only man who has beaten all the members of The System. He said nothing was better than being told by his daughter that he won but says now it's time to bring the world title home. He says it's only a matter of when.

Frankie Kazarian comes out to do commentary with the Call Your Shot trophy. 

Joe Hendry & Nic Nemeth vs. The System (Eddie Edwards & JDC)
 
Eddie boots and clubs on Joe. Joe hits euros. Eddie eye rakes him. Joe shoulders him over then suplexes him. We go to PiP break and return. Nic elbow drops JDC multiple times. Alisha Edwards trips Nic and JDC throws Nic out. Alisha then chops Nic.

Eddie chops Nic then corner lariats him. Eddie hits a short arm lariat for 2. JDC pounds on Nic and knee drops his arm. JDC chinlocks him. JDC throws Nic down backwards by the hair. JDc misses a pheonix splash legdrop from the top.

Joe is tagged in and hits lariats on the heels. Joe cutters JDC then fallaway slams Eddie. Joe hits a double lariat. Nic is tagged in. He corner splashes Eddie and hits a fameasser for 2. Nic jawbreakers Eddie. Joe lariats Nic on accident when Eddie moves. Eddie shining wizards Nic and wins.

Thoughts: I did not expect The System to win here. If Moose was involved I would have bought it but Eddie doing it was out of nowhere. It was a shorter match and was not very memorable. It was a very average match for the most part.

Joe tries to explain what happened after and Nic walks off mad. They argue on the ramp more.

Overall thoughts: The highlight of the show was the opening segment with Kaz imitating Joe. The rest of the show wasn't that interesting and was maybe even below average. The 6-man had someone leaving during it and the main wasn't that much. I wouldn't recommend this one and would give it a 4 out of 10.
