MATCH 1
Violent By Design (Rhino & Deaner) vs. Decay (Crazzy Steve & Black Taurus)
Rhino immediately goes after Taurus. Taurus turns that tide on Deaner when he delivered a powerslam. Steve follws that up with a senton. Deaner and Rhino begin to isolate Steve. Steve gets motivated after being bitten by Steve and delivers a flurrry of strikes beforing nipping the forehead of Deaner as a receipt. Steve thwarts Rhino’s interference to leap off the turnbuckle and deliver a tornado DDT to Deaner. 1-2-3.
WINNERS: Decay
Post-match, Eric Young dresses down Rhino in the ring after the loss. This fires Rhino up and the two stand nose to nose. Rhino grabs hold of EY’s arm and Deaner comes in with a cheap shot. Doering joins in on the attack. EY grabs hold of the VBD flag and breaks it over Rhino’s back.
Swinger’s Casino. John E. Bravo pays up Swinger and Alisha reminds Johnny that Bound For Glory is coming up. Swinger isn’t sure who runs IMPACT at the moment and guesses Jerry Jarrett, Dixie Carter and The Harris Brothers. TJP comes in to pay up as well, but Petey Williams is upset that his gambling cost him his match last week. He’s gonna kick TJP’s ass tonight. Swinger takes another stab at who runs IMPACT: the guy from The Smashing Pumpkins?
We see Christian Cage, Eddie Edwards, Sami Callihan, Josh Alexaander & Chris Sabin with Gia Miller. Sabin makes clear he and Alexander are allies just for tonight and Eddie & Sami show they’re never gonna be friends, but it’s for the greater good. Cage makes clear that Ace Austin reminds him of a younger Christian, but he questions if he’s got what it takes to tangle with him come Victory Road.
MATCH 2
Petey Williams vs. TJP
“Petey” chants start off. It’s very technical startin off as TJP goes for his Octopus Stretch, but Williams makes it to the ropes. A smooth head scissors by TJP. Petey turns it over with a hold of his own. The two get back to vertical bases after plenty of athleticism is shown. Springboard Codebreaker by Petey. A tilt-a-whirl Russian by Petey gets a two count and we head to break.
Back from it, TJP controls the majority of the pace until Williams locks in a Sharpshooter. TJP makes it to the bottom rope which causes the break. The two exchange pins and as TJP goes for a cradle, Williams sits out of it to pick up the swift 1-2-3.
WINNER: Petey Williams
Post-match, Williams and TJP share a sign of respect. Steve Maclin comes charging in and tree of woe spears Petey before hitting TJP with a broom stick.
Gia is with The Good Brothers. Karl happily admits he had help from Doc Gallows last week. Rich Swann didn’t have a partner and now he and Willie Mack are in their rearview mirror. They open some doors to walk through and see Willie on crutches. They open the other door and there’s Swann with the other crutch. Mack and Swann go on the attack which sends The GBs bailing.
After the break, Willie Mack makes clear that he’s good to go and Scott D’Amore happily books him and Swann against The Good Brothers for the Tag Titles at Victory Road on Saturday.
