Thoughts: The finish was kind of dumb with Ced being close to pulling it off then just going out to grab the title instead of staying on Leon. It was fine with Leon hitting his big dives. The brainbuster spot was pretty wild. It was okay but not much else.
Mike Santana is interviewed. He's wearing facepaint. He says he has carried the title for 86 days and showed why the fans have been behind him since Day 1. He says he's stronger, wiser and ready to go vs Eddie.

Thoughts: This was bogus. Kaz whipped Eli with a belt in front of the ref and the ref didn't care at all. Then Eli brought a weapon in and it was a problem. Eli is one of TNA's top faces. Kaz just lost to The Home Town Man yet picks up the win here. This was awful booking.

Thoughts: It was a really good and fun match here. This was Zero's biggest match yet and he hit a home run with this. He impressed with his flying, he looked like a force and it's clear that he should be in the main event scene as a singles guy. Moose did a good job as usual as well as he likes to bump and moves well. I really enjoyed this. I expected it to be good and it beat those expectations.
George Iceman "The Personal Concierge" has a sign with him (something about a pickle was written on it) and talks. He says he begged management to not go to the dump of Cleveland again. He says Ash is the only good thing that ever came out of here. He says the fans smell like pigs and brings out his crew. The Brand then come out and Ash has a "I am not a mark" sign.

Mr. Elegance lariats ODB then poses on her. ODB grabs Mr. Elegance's nuts with a pair of tongs. Ash sprays ODB in the eyes with hairspray and ddt's her. The Brand dogpiles on ODB an pins her.
Thoughts: It was not so serious hardcore match with a bunch of crappy weapons. It made the show and the match look low rent and it was more for them to have some fun with the legends than anything else. The legends did fine but it was basically a circus. At least The Brand won here.
Ash grabs her chest and shakes it over top of ODB after and does "suck it" crotch chops.

She says that was a waste of time that p!ssed her of. She says she will watch the Knockouts match. She says no matter who comes out victorious, she will come out with the Knockouts Title. She says this is her time and we are living in The Era of Elayna.
Nic Nemeth vs AJ Francis
AJ talks on the mic before his match. He puts himself and his clothes over and says he's the Lebron James of wrestling. He says the fans are losers. He says the Cleveland Browns are also loers. He says Nic Nemeth is coming out with Bernie Kozar. He says he's like Shadeur Sanders - his life will get better when he leaves Cleveland. He says he's the best big man in the business and the business is money, money, money. Nic then indeed does come out with Bernie Kozar.

KC Navarro then comes out, making his return from injury (AJ kicked him out of the group the last time we saw him). Bernie grabs a chair and hits AJ with it. Nic superkicks AJ then Nic zig zag's AJ. KC throws the ref in and Nic pins AJ.
Thoughts: I thought they did too much here as the top rope zigzag and chokeslam to the floor should have finished things. Kozar tried, wasn't perfect but still created a moment. KC Navarro made his big return here as well which sets things up for next time. AJ should have been DQ'd, but I think the way they covered for it was good enough. I had a lot of issues with this and it was something different for sure.

Lee forearms AG. Lee legsweeps her and dropkicks her. Lee hits mounted shots on AG. Stacks gets involved. Lee dropicks AG off the top. AG tries to go under the ring but is dragged out. Lee is pushed into the post. AG twisting suplexes Lee for 2 AG hits mounted punches.

Xia Brookside puts AG's leg on the ropes during the pin and makes a mean face at her. Xia then grabs Lee and pounds on her outside. Xia then screams. Xia throws Lee into the steps. AG shining wizards Lee from behind and pins her.
Thoughts: This was just LOLTNA. The match wasn't that good. Xia, who was turning on Lee anyway, had Stacks ejected which made no sense since she was the one who costed Lee the match. The ref then decided that Grace couldn't use the belt as a weapon after allowing Kaz and Elijah to use guitar straps (which are basically) belts on each other earlier. Xia was also dumb to turn on Lee here as had Lee won, she might have gotten a title shot out of her where she then could have turned on her. This was also a totally random turn and it felt like an episode of TNA from the Russo Era.
Eric Young comes out to talk, which is totally what this show needs right now. He says he will make it quick as he's tired of being here (and so am I). He says he told EC3 he could come out here and plead his case of why he belongs in this world. He says EC is a nepo baby and says Dixie isn't here to protect him. He says he removed his silver spoon from his mouth. He says EC is a smart man and probably already went home. EC says he hates Cleveland.
EC3 then comes out. Eric tries to hit him but is lariated over the top. EC gets on the mic. He says 2x TNA champ EC3 is back. He challenges Eric to a match on Impact. He says he only has one thing to say - I'm from Cleveland, b!tch.
Thoughts: This was random. Eric had not mentioned EC3 prior to this and they talked like we knew they were having issues somehow. EC3 hasn't been on TV, so how we would know this is unknown. EC's promo was not good here at all either.
TNA International Title - Trey Miguel (c) vs Mustafa Ali
Order 4 and their guards all come out with cyborg masks on. Ali also has a mask on his eye and some cyborg thing on his arm.

Tasha Steelz gets on the apron and distracts the ref. Trey gets hit with the entrance helmets. Ali top rope 450's Trey and pins him.
Thoughts: I didn't like the match. They had some cool spots but they didn't mean much and the selling wasn't good. This was also like the 4th match in a row with outside people getting involved which sucked.
Lei Ying Lee is interviewed. She is very sad and on the verge of tears. She doesn't really say anything.
We go to The Undead Realm. Rosemary and James Mitchell greet Abyss. Rose says they only wanted him to be happy. Abyss thanks her and hugs her. James is crying. We see Victoria Crawford running in fear. We see Tessa Blanchard being spooked out. James thanks Abyss for everything and says he owes him an apology. He says they were on top of the world then everything was so different. He says he had to deal with a parallel universe and he did things he's not proud of. He says he owes him an apology. Abyss says he doesn't and says there would be no Abyss without him. He says James provided him a family when he had none and shelter and guidance. He says they were dominant. He says he remembers the battles with Christian Cage, Sting and AJ Styles. He says he remembers barbed wire massacre and then points to the sky for Sabu.
James says when he was a kid in kindergarten, the teacher asked what everyone wanted to be. He says he wanted to be a mad scientist and they looked at him. He says he said he wanted to make monsters. He says they looked at him crazy and Abyss made his dream come true. He thanks him for the best years of his life. Abyss says he wasn't a manager but his guidance and father. He says he gave him life and says they dominated TNA. He says the history books will always show that. He says they won't show how much he loves him though. James asks if they can do the thing one more time and then they do a hand signal with Abyss.

Matt is back body dropped over the top. Jeff takes a superkick into a fire thunder driver. Bear pins Jeff.
Thoughts: The match was fine. I'm not really sure why The System won the titles instead of The Righteous. The Righteous doing it would have made a lot more sense and given them the credibility they need. I also do not understand why The Righteous didn't get involved here. They should have cost The Hardy's the titles and instead The Hardy's lost relatively clean to heels. Brian and Eddie are also The System's team, not Bear and Brian, so it would have made more sense to have them win instead.
Alisha Edwards talks to Moose in the back and says not to worry about him. Moose says he lost focus and her safety is more important. Moose wants to take her to the hospital. Alisha says she has to be here for Mike and Eddie and can't leave. Moose doesn't get it and Alisha says this all ends tonight. Alisha asks Moose to get her ice as she needs a second.
TNA World Title - Mike Santana (c) vs. Eddie Edwards
Eddie has some terrible rappers for his entrance. Mike comes through the crowd as usual.
They lock up. They trade some basic holds and stand off. They trade armdrags. Mike ducks a shining wizard and knocks Eddie over. They shoulderblock each other. Mike shoulders him over.

Moose then comes out. They show the clip of Alisha telling Moose to go. We then see Alisha taking off her ankle brace and we see her talking to Eddie about helping The System. She says she loves Eddie.
Moose then starts walking towards Alisha. Brian Myers and Bear Bronson then nail Moose from behind. Mike tope con hilos them both. Eddie shining wizard's Mike for 2. Mike spears Eddie for 2. Alisha is supposed to pull the ref out but forgets and the ref pretends she gets pulled anyway. Alisha distracts the ref. The ref tells Alisha to go. Cedric Alexander comes in. Mike takes a shining wizard from Eddie. Eddie flying shining wizardss Eddie. Mike spinning lariats Eddie and pins him.
Thoughts: They totally messed up the part where Alisha was supposed to pull the ref out. This had a ton of shenanigans with Moose, Alisha and The System plus them cutting away to a video during the world title match. The match wasn't bad but the shenanigans took away from it. Thankfully, Mike got the win here. On a show like this, something stupid like Mike losing as not impossible.
Overall thoughts: It was a Russo era TNA show that was full of LOLTNA moments. We had tons of interference except for when we needed it. We had bad reffing all night long. We had a bad turn from Xia Brookside. EC3 randomly showed up and they pretended like him and Eric Young have been feuding for months. We had very poor quality hardcore wrestling and just a lot of stuff that made this company look like a low-rent circus. The show also ran long at 3.5 hours plus the pre-show. Moose vs Agent Zero was very good though and a star making performance for Zero. The booking was absolutely awful on this show and totally destroyed it. I'd give this a 3 of 10 and I thought this was a bad show.
