Impact Wrestling Coverage: Make TNA Great? Not Yet

The return of Karen Jarrett did nothing to elevate Impact Wrestling this week. The weak indie house show feel of the card was a step in the wrong direction as well.

Matches:

Davey Richards w/Angelina Love vs. Suicide: Richards won with the Creeping Death after making out with Love before the match.

Monster Factory Tag Team Champions: Fallah Bahh and Mario Bokara and Idris Abraham vs. Mahabali Shera, Laredo Kid, and Garza Jr.: A competitive match where Shera dominated and got the win with two Sky High Powerbombs.

Decay: Crazzy Steve and Abyss w/Knockouts Champion Rosemary vs. Reno Scum: Luster the Legend and Adam Thornstowe: A fun encounter where Rosemary accidentally hit Steve with the Mist, allowing Scum to hit the modified Stomp for the win.

Impact Grand Champion Moose vs. Eli Drake w/Tyrus: Match never happened as Cody Rhodes, garbed in a Bullet Club hoodie, beat on Moose.

LAX: Ortiz and Santana w/Konnan and Diamanté vs. DCC: Bram and James Storm w/Eddie Kingston: Good back and forth despite no real storytelling. Storm has the match finished and was about to hit the Last Call when interference from Ortiz and a gaff from Kingston allowed LAX to win.

Rebel vs. ODB: Awful match that ODB won with the TKO. Kissing Earl Hebner was a crucial part of the match- or at least trying to.

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Jake Holmes: Lashley nailed the Dominator for the statement win.
