Thoughts: It was an okay match here. It had the usual issues mixed tags have with the men not trying to get the easy win over the women. Mara did a Lita tribute during this one.

Nic and Ryan Nemeth come in the ring after. They hit zig zag's on The Hardy's from behind. Mara argues with Nic and is superkicked for it. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual episode of Impact. There wasn't anything too must see here and we only had 3 matches within 2 hours which isn't good. There wasn't a ton of news here either outside of Santana vs Trick and I guess Indi vs Ash for the title being made official. I wouldn't recommend this and would only give it the usual TNA 5 out of 10 rating.
