During the first-round Cody and Moose brawl around the ring when Cody mistakenly superkicks a judge right in the gut.

In what turned out to be an okay match could have really benefitted from being a plain jane contest. The segment ultimately end’s up with them agreeing to poll the fans on who should challenge Lashley for the World Championship in the future. The two have a fun back and forth comparing where EC3 was in life when Storm was building Impact Wrestling. For example, one was that chick who Cody paid off the week prior her name? I have no idea and that’s the biggest downfall of introducing so many new faces in such a short period of time.ĮC3 is on his way to the ring and Josh Matthews brought up a wrestling term that I had hoped died and gone to wrestling hell, that phrase being “Slap Nuts.” Moving on, EC3 apologizes for his actions last week and how he spoke to Karen Jarrett and says that if Impact is changing then he needs to change with it this brings out James Storm, fresh off his departure from the DCC. The only purpose I can see here was a way to introduce so many new faces that you will never remember any of them. All of a sudden, we have five or six unknown Knockouts in the ring and as hell breaks loose. Luckily ODB comes out, smelling like Ben Gay and Jube Jube candies after her romp with Earl I’m sure. Post-match, the Helms Dynasty comes out to cheer on Everett finally getting a win, a week after losing to Trevor Lee.Īfter witnessing more of the Earl and ODB relationship, Rosemary is in the ring with Borash for the “Burial of the Knockouts Division” which was her telling what’s left of the Knockouts division to give up, in a nutshell. After a few dives to the outside and flips galore, DJZ goes for his patented ZDT, Everett catches him in a roll-up to pick up the quick victory, elevated Everett without hurting DJZ. This match was good, some actual “cruiserweight” wrestling being put on display is so refreshing when you see so much of that bland cruiserweight style that the WWE has implemented as of late. That long, stringy hair, coupled with that receding hairline is something else. In case you’re wondering, the penalty of raising your voice at Impact is a match against Braxton Sutter.īefore we dive into the match, I need to bring up just how much Everett and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs look alike. Going by simply “KM” now, he is here to wrong the injustice of his cousin just as he’s about to beat up a woman, Braxton Sutter comes in to save the day. I guess now he’s related to Sienna and runs in all the wrong circles. All of a sudden, I see a familiar face, Kevin Matthews of WWE developmental fame a decade ago. Karen plays Mom by telling her she will live to regret her actions as of late. Seems to me the Knockouts division may get a smudge more tolerable without the high school games. In the ring, Karen calmly sides with Roderick Strong over on NXT and his stance on bullying, she then demands Sienna come to the ring. Borash and Matthews begin to bicker once again as I eagerly wish for old age and the hearing loss that comes along with it. The show opens with Josh Matthews deciding to sit in on the backstage meetings with Dutch, Pritchard, and Borash as Karen Jarrett comes storming in looking for Sienna. One step forward, two steps back it seems. Seemed odd to me.Last week Impact really opened up the floodgates, this edition of Impact looks to continue the LAX storyline and a plethora of average content. Two matches I saw pitted grey-haired men in their 50s or 60s against big, muscular men in their 20s. When I asked around about that, it seems the organizers didn't do a great job of pairing up wrestlers. Plus, I noticed that several matches were won by forfeit and many did not even last 90 seconds. Gene Dermody (right), who won a gold medal, said that with only 40 competitors in the event it was a smaller group than Gay Games I in 1982. There were some grumblings at wrestling about how the event was being run.

However, he is now the president of the Dutch national wrestling federation. And he said the wrestling world in the Netherlands is very homophobic. He remembers hearing anti-gay epithets the day after the closing ceremony in Amsterdam. He remembers hosting the Gay Games in 1998 in Amsterdam and the anti-gay repercussions that followed: His gay wrestling group was not allowed to join the national wrestling federation because of homophobia.

Jeroen Tan from the Netherlands is competing. Wrestlers get ringworm from dirt on the mats, and it's a big deal: No street shoes are allowed on the competition floor, and wrestlers are inspected for ringworm before they get onto the mat. One athlete had it and proudly showed me the rings on his neck as a badge of courage. I'd never seen ringworm until I visited the wrestling venue.
