Christmas Surprise Match - Ryan Nemeth, Mance Warner, Rosemary, Jake Something and Jessie McKay vs Mara Sade, Dezmond Xavier, BDE, Eric Young and Cassie Lee
Every wrestler brings a gift to the ring. The Iinspiration are wearing matching Santa style outfits.
Dez and Mance lock up. Mance chops him. Dez backrolls into a spinning reverse headscissors. Jess gets in and goofs around with Dez. Cass asks to be tagged in. Jess and Cass shake hands then hug. They pose. Both lay down and try to pin each other.
BDE and Jake go at it. BDE's springboard is caught and Jake curls him. BDE pump kicks him. Mara 2nd rope double axe handles Jake's arm and tries to wristlock him. Rose is tagged in. Rose tries to hit Mara with a gift and Mara punches it into her face. Rose hanging headscissors her over the top rope. Mara slingblades her for 2.
EY comes in. He shoves Jess. Cass gets on EY's back. EY throws him off. EY threatens the ref. BDE and Dez double superkick EY. Jake bodyblocks Dez. BDE canadian destroyers Jake out. Mance pop-up headbutts BDE. Mance uranage's BDE on an empty present. Cass spinning high kciks Mance. Steph de Lander trips Cass then pushes Jess. Ryan gets an empty gift box stuck on his head and Mara dropkicks Ryan off the apron.
Mara tries a dive outside but is caught. BDE then suicide dives, sending multiple people into the gift boxes. Mara superkicks Rose and pins her.
Thoughts: It was short and a waste of time. It wasn't a super serious match and we had a lot of intergender action here. I have no idea why all the gift boxes were empty.
Tom closes the show and hypes up TNA on AMC.
Overall thoughts: We only had one new match here. It was only a few minutes long and a total waste of time. This was nothing but clips of old matches. I wouldn't recommend this at all and would give it a 4 out of 10. TNA has been little but recaps all fall and winter long and if they think they can get away with this stuff when they get on AMC, they have another thing coming.
