TNA Impact 12/4/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/tna-impact-11272025.html

I think we are at the Hardy Compound and see various wrestlers walking around. There's a box with the TNA logo on it and everyone is on the 2nd floor of a barn. The box is glowing. They then have a January 15th graphic for Dallas, Texas. It says "our story continues on AMC". They then announce TNA is moving there.

Thoughts: The move to AMC is fantastic news for TNA. AXS is better than nothing but nobody gets the channel and the channel limits its growth.They should get some new fans with the move and some much needed cash. They really need to step things up though. There's only been like 2-3 shows with all new content since Bound for Glory and that's not gonna cut it on AMC. They also desperately need to get some new young talent. Just pick like 5 new people who are over 6 foot tall and see what happens. WWE also needs to be a better partner and stop taking TNA talent because this show has to draw good enough ratings to stay on air.

The Home Town Man vs Brooks Jensen

Lexis King is with BJ. BJ backs up Home in the corner. Home hits a big punch on BJ then bangs his head off the buckles. Home hits mounted corner punches. BJ is tripped into the 2nd rope and Home hits pucnches on him. Home slides out and punches him. Home hits a top rope crossbody for 2.

Thoughts: It was pretty basic and not much of note here. Home lost but he's basically a jobber and it makes no real difference. 

The Rascalz hang out in their clubhouse. Wentz's phone plays The Hardy's theme when Trey calls him. Trey asks who Dezmond Xavier is. Wentz mentioned a guy named Wes and Dez asks who that is. Wentz explains that they are the same person and said they changed their names in WWE. Dez asks why he changed his name. Myron Reed asks about Order 4 and they think they are ordering food. They then imply that they smoke weed and they act all goofy after. They talk about Tasha Steelz and Trey says she steals his heart every time. Zach says he's happy to have all his brothers in the treehouse.

The Iinspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) talk. They said they had the odds stacked against them at Turning Point but stayed tag champs. They challenge a team to come and shoot their shot and step up.

The Iinspiration end up down and Crawford grabs their titles. The heels pose and The Iinspiration get up and boot the heels. Mila takes a bulldog onto a knee then Crawford takes a double gordbuster.

Frankie Kazarian is outside. He complains about JDC thinking he deserves a title shot. He says it took him decades to get the title shot and says JDC is joining the retirement bandwagon with Cena and AJ Styles. Kaz says they will be missed and are stars but JDC couldn't be a star if he was thrown by a ninja. He says his new years resolution will be to end his miserable midcard existence.

Thoughts: The problem here is that everything that Kaz said was true and that's not good when the guy getting ripped is a face.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It wasn't great but what we got was enough and it was fine enough. The heels tagged in and out a lot and I felt like it was hard to get some momentum going because of it. We got a couple of dives here but nobody got any air at all. The heels kind of had to win here to keep their momentum going and to build to something bigger.

Santino Marella comes out and looks angry at Team NXT for cheating. He then yells at Stacks.

Overall thoughts: There's a PLE tomorrow. It has more matches than they could really promote here though they tried. It was your usual TNA show with a lot of average wrestling. It was enough but nothing you'd go out of your way to see. The main or the semi main was the best thing on here. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10 overall and wouldn't recommend it.
