The debut of Tanille Dashwood and return of Mohabali Shera made for some interesting moments, but Impact still felt like a glorified house show. Brian Cage has to be on the show more. End of story. Build the company around the guy. While Tessa Blanchard and Sami Callihan are a force, combining it with ECW legends is not the right fit.
Matches:
Kiera Hogan vs. Tanille Dashwood: Hogan didn’t lay down, but after a top-rope Crossbody, Dashwood hit The Spotlight for the win.
Michael Elgin vs. Dinastia: This wasn’t a squash, but Elgin made a statement with the Emerald Flowsion for the victory.
Texano Jr. vs. Dr. Wagner Jr.: Solid encounter that saw Wagner with with the Michinoku Driver.
Ace Austin vs. Eddie Edwards: These two continue to beat the cop out of each other. This one ended in a DQ after Edwards nailed Austin with a chair.
Big Mami and Nino Hamburguesa vs. Desi Hit Squad: Rohit Raju and Raj Singh w/ Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake: Sami and Hamburguesa won, but the return of Mahabali Shera and Game Singh have reinforced the Hit Squad.
Street Fight: Sami Callihan and X-Division Champion Jake Crist vs. Tessa Blanchard and Tommy Dreamer: Callihan got the win but RVD and Rhino got involved after the bell.
