I'm Atrel Pearl, and it's time for your TNA Impact post show. It's September 12, 2024. We're here again. We took last week off. Why did we take last week off? Well, we both had stopped going on. That's just what happens. But we're back. At least for this week, we are. Cress the star joins me as she always does the star of the show. How are you doing Ms. Cress the star? I am. I'm alive, you know, that that's what's important. And I think the important thing about being alive is being there or something. I don't know. Hi. Hi. We should probably start with the news of what's going on with this show, shouldn't we? Jeez. Maybe let people go. I'll let you, I'll let you open up the conversation real quick. Oh, wait. Are we talking about personal stuff or like, wait, is there something going on with this show? Are we fired? No, nobody's fired, but I don't think, but people should probably know that you are going to be away from it. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it has been so much fun and no, I'm not quitting. But on September 10th, I had to put down my 21 year old cat. I love him dearly and more than life can say. And last year, I had a whole bunch of bad trauma going on, but I will be stepping away from TNA post shows and collision till October 5th. I will be back. I just have to get my mental marbles in shape. Um, yeah, I guess it's for the best that the camera's not working because I have been a hot mess. I've been crying. I hate to quote Dave Chappelle, but I'm crying like a bitch. So I'm here to take my mind off of wrestling, hug your fur balls and your loved ones extra close. Everybody tell them you miss them, you know, all that fun stuff. So I won't be here until October 5th. But when I come back, I'll be loud, wrong and strong unless something else happens and then I don't know that I'm going to go take a walk around the sun to ease my trouble mind or something like that. So yeah, we're not the show's not ending. We're not going anywhere. Cressa is going to take a step back. We send her a love to Cressa and of course to everyone surrounding her as well. I see that the chat is piling on their, their love and appreciation, nothing. We're not going away. I just think people should know that Cressa's going to step back for a few weeks and hopefully rejoin us when she is ready to go. I'm still going to be here. At least that's my plan. Listen, I can't tell you that I'm going to be here every single week, but I'm going to do my absolute best. There's enough going on in my life as well that I try to be around when I can. Last week was a week off because, well, my brother got married. So I was in town for that, I'm dealing with with family. So, you know, everything's a little different here, but I just wanted to let people know that we're not going anywhere, but some things might change for the next few weeks. And with that, we should probably talk about teaming impact. Oh, really quickly because I did see this in chat. It's not bully Ray, it is so bully Ray's name is Rengar, and it's not a Johnny. Those are the two cats I live with me. This is my childhood cat, Evie, I never had enough badges to control that cat. And I don't think it was meant to be any other way. Let's get into this. Victory Road is tomorrow night, which I had no idea by the way, you should know this by now. And they do a pay-per-view, then they tape and then they do another show two weeks later. I shouldn't have really been on it. I don't know man. That's my fault. They were like, if you wrote tomorrow, I'm like, wait, didn't we just do something on me? Ah, shucks. Yep. That's what we do. Emergence happened. And then they did a show. They do that, and then they tape two weeks of impact in one night, so that's on Saturday in Texas. And then they go to Spartanburg, South Carolina, where they tape four weeks of TV. So a weekend of tapings, which will come out to about four weeks, which takes them to bound for glory, which is towards the end of October. That's kind of what we're looking at in terms of taping stuff, which is fine. It's okay. But yeah, good stuff. Looking forward to tomorrow's Victory Road show. Whether or not there's going to be a post show, I don't know. And we're navigating some new waters. I'm going to be perfectly honest with everybody. There are maybe two or three matches that I'm actually interested in on this card. I don't know how invested I am, especially in New England. Where is, uh, what's his name? Steve, where's Steven Jensen? I'm going to leave my man Joel Hay and Joel needs a hot tag right now. Jensen, Jensen's busy. Jeremy Lambert does new post shows and I get it. We'll see. We'll see if there's a post show tomorrow. Honestly, I don't think anyone's going to be too asked if we don't do a Victory Road post show. Maybe we'll just cover it on the Thursday show. Get out with the fallout. Talk about that stuff. We'll see. It'll be a game time decision. If it happens, it'll be on this channel on youtube.com/bifle and, of course, in your ears after the fact. But other than that, we did watch the show tonight, so we may as well talk about it. My first question, you've been a TNA+ subscriber for the last few weeks. Right, Kresta? Yes. Has it been a good experience for you? Yes. Hold on. I have to cough. Well, while she's coughing, go ahead and leave a thumbs up on the video and, of course, donate a super chat. Any magic questions, David, around the air. And then, of course, actually comes back from coughing, Kresta will also tell you about Humper Chats and then talk about her TNA+ experience. How about that? If you would like to get your question or comment, red on air, but you're like, "You know what? I don't want to go through this super chat." Go ahead and head over to HumperChats.com. We get to keep a little bit more of the proceeds and it keeps the lights on and it keeps us talking about TNA and all this other stuff. HumperChats.com. Joel Pearl and myself will read your comment on the air. Did I mention that was HumperChats.com? We get to keep a little bit more of the dollar amount at HumperChats.com. HumperChats.com. That's it. That's it. HumperChats.com. HumperChats. I've been told it is HumperChats.com. Have you heard about HumperChats.com? News to me, but it is certainly HumperChats.com. We can do a super chat anyway, TNA plus app. I want your thoughts because I will be honest, I used it for the very first time ever tonight. Well, tonight I can say that for a minute there, it was really glitchy. So typically I have a decent experience. I do not hate having the time where the commercials should be. It does give me a break because you know I write things by hand because I'm in the hands with all and I prefer it, but it also gives me a time to break my hands. I can go to the bathroom and grab a snack and not miss the action. Typically, I don't have a problem with it. Things start on time and you know, I'm not too mad about it. Did you have a good experience for your first time? Did you have an adverse experience? Are you allergic? TNA staff, if you're watching, give me 2X speed on your programming. Let me catch up. Let me start the show at 9 o'clock and catch up in time for the main event. That's what you did with YouTube and it was delightful. Starting at 8.30, going commercial-free, cutting the commercials out, I get it, I get it. You had to put together two different cuts of the show. I understand it, but for Christ's sake, just let me 2X this show because if I can watch it at double speed, I can get my notes done, I can hear everything, I don't have to skip ahead, I can just do the job. Give me a 2X. Don't give me the slow down, don't give me the slow motion. Nobody needs that shit. Pardon the French. Give me 2X speed other than that. I can see that. I can see that, especially if I tune in late, I would like the option to start and maybe play it faster to catch up and then if I catch up to live, I catch up to live. But I can see that, especially if I'm running late. Easy as that. That's all I want. I don't need to skip ahead. I don't need to scrub through it. I would rather watch it as it airs and just watch it faster. I'm okay with that. That's anyway. That's my gripe with the TNA+ app so far and that's my first night using it. So I hope that it's something that gets looked at. Maybe that'll be something to add. But let's get ready to impact. Talk about the actual show. Macklin defeats Hammerstone. Hammerstone lost on Tuesday on NXT to Obafemi loses again. This time he loses in his second match in a row via a roll-up. So that's pretty hilarious. I thought that was such a sudden finish. I was like, okay, these meeting men is really getting into here. Wait, the match is over. All right. [LAUGH] All right. Are you telling that tonight's match or Tuesday? Yes. Tonight's match. I was like, what is this at the end? I'm not mad. Let me, let's be clear here. I'm not mad. I was just, how do you say sports confused at the finish? Yeah, I get it. I actually, I didn't mind the finish because it was a little bit of a shock. Macklin rolling out of Hammerstone's attempt at the pendulum and the nightmare pendulum and instead just kind of rolled him up. And it was good. Like it made sense and Macklin getting the win made sense, especially last week. He came to the aid of Eric Young after his match with Jake something. So this week kind of set up the tag match for victory row for the countdown. The match was fine. Again, Macklin selling that right shoulder because he had the match with Eric Young and emergence the night before if you're talking about when the match happened versus when it airs. And then Hammerstone stays on it. He attacks the shoulder, does a gnarly overhead belly to belly top rope suplex on Macklin. I liked that. The match was good. The match was fun. And post match, Hammerstone gets that torture rack EY makes a save and then backstage they set it up. Macklin is, I guess, turning into a baby face again says he doesn't, you know, thank people very often, but that's respect. They're talking about respect and then they set up Eric Young and see Macklin versus Jake something. And I was in a Hammerstone. What did you think of getting into that tag match that's going to air tomorrow night? I am not mad at the combination of both these men. First of all, Hammerstone and something you know how I feel about meat. I could taste the gout coming from that team. And honestly, I'm not mad at it. It's something in my opinion that's better for Jake something to do. No offense or shade to dinner, but I don't think, I think the time for the dinner reunion as someone who wanted a dinner reunion that time as long since past, and I think it's time that we do something else and these two big, meaty men lumbering and hammering each other, I think it'd be fantastic together in the team. As far as Macklin and Eric Young are concerned, I don't know what I thought. Eric Young and Steve Macklin, for some reason, remind me of young grizzled self looking at old grizzled self and I kind of live for it. It's like deranged grandpa, but also deranged uncle. I kind of live. It's a good parent that I didn't know I wanted for both of these guys. I expect this match to be stiff as a board. So if I tune in, I won't lie, I might take a detox from wrestling too, but if I take a little pixie poopsies, I expect to see stiff meat. We talked about this after emergence. We said that you could tell that Macklin and EY were having a hell of a good time out there. They were good at selling the fact that they were adversaries in the ring, but you could tell there was some mutual respect and just some enjoyment of those two beating the shit out of each other. And now that is coming through to form this tag team. This was the Macklin Santana situation again, which I appreciated. Yeah, they have really good chemistry together. I guess, unfortunately, for someone like Macklin and Santana, who always are like, I want to be my own solo guy, you have such good chemistry with everyone because you're such a good wrestler. It's like darn. But do you want to roll with this guy just for a touch, just for a touch until we figure out a solid thing and that solid thing becomes a thing with you guys because you're so over. It's the curse of greatness, as some would say. Yeah, it is. Well, looking forward to that tag match tomorrow night. The system have a backstage segment. They say the reboot is on. We'll talk about the system in a little bit. Heather Reckless defeats Giselle Shaw. This is Giselle Shaw's last match in TNA as reported by Pappell Select. She had asked for her release and received it under the condition that she would come to the tapings that happened that weekend and put over someone and she did. She did it because she's a professional. Heather Reckless has officially signed a TNA. We had her first interview. Ross Abt did that over on this channel, so check that out, along with plenty of articles that came out of that conversation. The match was fine. Giselle Shaw got another theme reboot going into this. It was a remix of her original theme, plus a countdown clock. At that point, I'm wondering what the hell is going on. It was very strange. The match is fine. Like I said, match is fine. They made reference to the fact that Reckless and Shaw had a match last year. Yeah. She's back. I see your face. That's not the right camera. It's still fine. I could say, the people need to see you. The people, it's just a green screen. At the sunglasses and the hat, it was great. It was perfect. You know what? Sometimes life gives us lemonade. Yeah, that. Anyway, Reckless and Shaw had a match before Reckless was signed a TNA. Ash Bilegan shows up mid-match. She's going to watch. She slaps Giselle Shaw while Iceman distracts referee Daniel Spencer. That's a theme of the night, by the way. Daniel Spencer just cannot catch a break. What's wrong with you? And then Reckless gets to the win with the Reckless. She shocked. She's happily shocked that she got the win. And then Cressa does audio only again. Thank God. You're back. All right, I've tried everything I could. This thing said I am not working with that camera. You cannot make me. Your thoughts on the match? This match was fine. Honestly, I was quite surprised that Ash Bilegan didn't actually hit Shaw with a kendo stick. Not upset at them saying that you have to put somebody over. I mean, as you should, as you absolutely should. So, you know, that was a fine match. I can't wait to see what Heather Reckless does as we see later on in the night. He does join up with Ash by elegance, and it's kind of like, I don't know, man. I'll see. I'll work it out. I mean, I'll see. I'll see. Yeah, we're going to get to that match in a little bit. But first, there's a Zai Zhao, who's now formerly Zai Lee. There's a vignette with her. She's going to be joining the knockouts division. It's growing again. I'm looking forward to that. You had Heather Reckless. You had Zai Zhao. Is there anyone else that could be coming in? We're going to find out soon. But if you're going to lose someone like Giselle Shaw and maybe Jordan Grace at the end of the year, you got to start filling out your ref, your, your, your repertoire again. You're going to start filling up your division. So what are your thoughts? You saw the promo for Zai Zhao. I was kind of like, at first I was like, okay, Zai Lee, but that was the question mark. I said, Zai Lee question mark. I'll see where this goes because it's like my second or third, fourth time, which you'll see with another wrestler that this is a reboot that we're doing again this evening. So we'll see, we'll see, I'll give it, I like to see, I like to wait and see when it comes to TNA. Because one thing that TNA is going to do is going to show that you can either do it or you can't. So you and I talked about the trajectory of Giselle Shaw and what we thought she was getting up to when she came back from her hiatus at the beginning of the year. And we thought that she was going to be pegged for a Gale Kim match. And then when that was dropped, you and I started talking about that. And then the news came that she asked for a release. I think at that point, Kresta, we probably could have seen the writing on the wall. There she is. This is the best I got, y'all. I don't know why my camera is dropping me tonight, but you know, we'll give it to you anyway. You look like a million bucks. Thanks. But anyway, were you shocked when you read the news that Shaw was on the way out of TNA? So on the one hand, yes, because I'm like, wow, you know, I again, the whole Gale Kim idea that she could be up for a push, the whole nine yards. But on the other hand, and I don't like to be up in people's business. And oftentimes I get in trouble for not being as nosy as I should be. But that's her whole man that left. So go stand by George, man. I respect it. I respect it. The same way I feel about eventually one Matthew Cardonovich will be in the WWE to stand by his woman, one Chelsea Green. So I respect it. And I think that it was the right thing of TNA to do to let her go. Like if she doesn't want to be there, you know, go stand by your man, maybe go to have to be great. Speaking of Matt Cardona, he comes out with step to land or next for their little promo. She doesn't want anything to do with Matt Cardona, who's now basically said we have a contract. I'm keeping you here because you're my property. Otherwise I send you back to Australia. He's basically anchoring her. Excuse me. I'm going to clear my throat. Listen, while you clear your throat, I wrote not an immigration joke. That's crazy. That's a wild thing to say because she's a white girl from Australia. So it's less. It doesn't look good. Regardless about you. I'm sorry. Matt Cardona, like he's healing it up, but like, oh, this is, this is nasty. Yeah. My notes basically just say there's no heat like misogyny heat. And then of course, Iceman, not to be outdone decides to come out and there's no heat like cheap city town misrepresentation mispronunciation of the city heat. There was some cheap shit going on. Anyway, a step to lander is going to be Matt Cardona's tag team partner, Victory Road. When they take on PCO and Rhino and then PCO comes out. Cardona puts stuff to land her in front of him. She low blows him and PCO chokes lands him. She's going to turn on PCO and Rhino tomorrow, isn't she? Oh, yeah. Cause when he was like, and I don't want me Montreal, Ontario, screwed up, no finger polka do him. He was being a real specific, like you have to do what I say. I'm like, but what if she throws her back out? There are ways for her to do stuff. Is she though? I can really see a lot of world where it's like, well, Matt made me do it. And honestly, how could I love someone with no brains? He has no brains, PCO. They're all they've been fragmented and then shattered on the floor and scrambled. I've seen his intro where they take 20 years to scramble your brain to restart your Buick. I mean, your heart, 392 times, 393 tomorrow night because it's a special and of course they're going to do it and no less. It's president anyway, not important. Spitfire is backstage with G and Miller. Well, G and Miller walks up to Spitfire. They're sitting on the couch and they basically bring up the fact that if they lose a victory road against Mashalisha, they're going to break up. And Jody made the call for this stipulation. I have to say, for a long time, you and I have sat and talked about Jody threat and her development things you could do better, great in the ring needed more work with acting. This is the first time and I've seen it coming, but like, this was the first time where you can really tell she was into it. She was locked in. I thought she was really a solid actor in this particular segment. It's a backstage, you know, sitting on a couch. It's very casual, but I think she played it off good and it didn't come off as like too tight. It was it was loose. It was good. I liked it. What do you think of this segment with Gia and Spitfire? This is why I love wrestling because I got something totally different from that. I got Jody being overconfident and optimistic and like, yeah, and I'm like, Oh, Danny will turn on this girl when they lose, huh? And that's entirely possible. I'm talking more about the the acting than I am the actual, you know, like, I think you have make a really good point when it comes to the Yeah, the the emoting. I'm talking about the actual like getting getting down to doing the scene. She felt loose. She felt comfortable. Yeah. The actual like content of the scene, I agree with you. It could easily turn into Danny Luna splitting up and turning on Jody after they lose the match. I agree with you there. Yeah, and the main reason why I said that is because there's a part towards the end of the segment where they zoom into Danny's face, and she was like, Well, you know, you decided that and she's like, yeah, but we always do when our backs are against the wall. Sorry. The New York special. My apologies. I thought he resigned today. Why is he coming to your house? Oh man. Who which he there's a lot of he's under investigation. So he just up and quit. I snitched, so it was so pleasure knowing you guys are downstairs to come and get me. Amazing. God bless. Uh, anyways, everything else from the Spitfire is like, we're going to run down the car for tomorrow night when we get to the end of the show. Yeah, I don't have anything else to size that, but I wouldn't be surprised if Danny Luna turns on. I was like, because nobody asks you to do that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. We'll see where that plays out. ABC takes on first class tornado tag. They get the windows. ABC. Of course it with AJ Francis once again, the match was fine. This was the big thing. It's like ABC has a match against the system tomorrow nights for the tag titles. First class are going to take on the hardies. These are, it was the match was fine. I like that Navarro's cocky keeps getting stopped every time he tries to take advantage. AJ does big man stuff and keeps getting foiled. He tries to the choke slam on Bay, Bay turns it into the cutter, a turns it into the fold. That's how they get the win. The match is fine. It just, it was a tornado tag for four men to beat the crap out of each other. That's fine. You know, ABC gets a pretty good win out of this. Not mad at it. I agree with you. Casey Navarro looks great here. I'm so happy that he's signed somewhere where he can really shine on weekly television. The double pin on AJ Francis with both his legies and the air max on disrespect. I lived. Not saying the legies, they both his legies were straight up in the air. Both men had both your legies. Come on. Come on. Bro, the only move, more disrespectful than that is the angle slam because your legies and your hands is in the air to say, we, you'll get that content every week with your other TNA shows. Do you not call it AJ Francis, a man who is six feet like nine, six feet nine, 400 pounds meeting man, his feet of legies. Like I said, he's a, he's a big dude. I've sat next to him. I've stood next to him. He is bigger. Like that's a large man. I'm a big dude too. Like he is bigger than I am. I was like shit. I would call shacks feet legies for what it's worth. I'm going to clip this and send it to AJ. I think they think like he's a girl, he's a, he's a nearly, you're going to get a match against AJ Francis out of this muscle and Malcolm get the shit kicked out of him. You know what? That's fine. As my stand in concierge Jeremy Lambert, listen, he'll take the table bump. If you ask him kindly, I mean, how much are you paying? Cause you know, my going rate is four hundred and forty four dollars and forty four cents with taxes. Hey, lady. This is wrestling. What are you talking about? People don't get paid here. You're right. I'll take a hot dog and a handshake. Best you got. Jonathan Gresham, speaking of hot dogs, handshakes and what the are we doing here? What is John? Are we retconning the retcon of Jonathan Gresham? I'm in a reboot, but what are we booting? We're just giving back the mask, giving back the ink, giving back the character, please. At this point, I know the big show is looking at Jonathan Gresham like he stole my whole kid, because I don't know what he's supposed to be and I flip flop every week. This is out of water. Man is a third of the size of the big show. What are we doing here? I, I like Jonathan Gresham. Let's, let's stick with one thing and I don't care what that one thing is. You know what I mean? I don't care what that one thing is. I would like to see it through. I don't care what that one thing you know, if you put them with the system, how you brought back on or no more and it was just Jonathan Gresham. Would I be annoyed? Yes, but at least he'd have a direction and I know what he's giving and I could at least talk about, please do something and stay with us. Don't stop. You know what I mean, I'm getting angry. I'm not this point. I'm angry. Yeah. Sorry. Get angry. So, Joe Hendry cuts a promo. Thank you. He calls out Josh Alexander. Josh comes out to the balcony. "Come there. I'm going to hurt you." So, this is for your own safety. And then he makes the video, "The Josh Alexander's Story" says, "Why do you never smile?" calls him Kurt Angle from Wish, which people enjoyed. And then Josh says, "Henry didn't earn his popularity." Josh reiterates. He rode up and down the roads. He busted his ass for years. He deserves the spot. Not Joe Hendry. And then he says, "I'll smile when I dismantle you and you won't see it." And that'll happen tomorrow. And Joe Hendry is like, "Hey, there's a walking wiener sign in the crowd." And everyone chants, "Walking wiener." And then it gets the crowd behind him and it's a segment. Joe Hendry is going to be studied for this period of time where he goes from main eventing slam aversary, being the hottest act in the entire TNA roster, doesn't win the title, doesn't get the title shot yet, might not get the title shot. It's an NXT title shot, main event's PLE doesn't win it, basically disappears from WWE programming. And now he's doing this stuff with Josh, which is good, by the way. I want him to do the match with Josh because it makes sense, right? Josh Alexander basically started his heel term by kicking Joe Hendry in the dick. Great. I'm just... It's the curious case of Joe Hendry when it comes to his whole experience with TNA, with WWE and NXT, it's been very strange. He's one of those guys who, for better or for worse, depending on how you look at the situation, he doesn't need a title to be over. He is ridiculously over. And not a lot of people are fortunate enough to be over in two separate promotions that are two different fan bases. I tell my friends that when I'm a personal note, I tell friends that when I work at FIFO, I'm very glad I started with the TNA fan base. Because as much as people crap one TNA, TNA fans are like, great, you're watching TNA. Thanks, let's talk about TNA. And sometimes, whether you're an AEW fan or WWE fan, you could be a little bit polarizing and tribalistic and, oh, you're from TNA, well, that place sucks. So for someone like Joe Hendry to be over in multiple crowds and not just with the NXT crowd, because I was watching bits and pieces of Raw on Monday, bro, he's over with the main WWE crowd too, like he is very curious, like the curious case of MJF when he first came out. I would say the same thing with Endo Amore for a while. These people are so over that you're like, how in the Becky Lynch becoming the man is another good example of this, as far as the segment itself is concerned, calling Josh Alexander a Kurt Angle from Wish.

King Super's, fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. I might have to fistfight you backstage, because you got the crown of the chant, you suck at the walking weeder. Bro, he's the Joe Henry's dad housing levels of the worst walking weeder that I gotta tell you, I laughed like 10 minutes straight, much has turned after that one, because it's so stupid, but it was so effective and it wasn't even his joke, so you know he thought of that on the fly. Well, maybe he saw the sign of it, or maybe the sign was a plant. We've all planted signs before, right, Kristall? Don't ruin this for me. All I'm saying is that sometimes people plant signs and crowds, and they give them to people in the third row in a show in Montreal and tell them that someone paid you 20 bucks to do it, so you did it. You're the biggest heel in a business. I would like to live in my fantasy land, okay? Moose's real name is Moose. Thank you very much. Well, I mean, isn't it his actual name is Moose? No, it's not. It's something else. AJ Styles stands for AJ Styles, all right? I want to live in my fantasy land. Thank you very much. This is for his name is Quinn. I'm just so used to calling him Moose. Oh, God. Jordan Grace is backstage with Ariana Grace. Ariana Grace is now the, the, the, the link she, she is the, she is the Santino Morella of TNA. Oh, wait, they have one already. His name is Santino Morella. Isn't that his daughter? That's the, that's the joke. She was confused and I was like, wait it, just a second. Meanwhile, Tintino's not on the show, which makes this even funnier. I assume they'll do something tomorrow night where they cross over. Ariana Grace is backstage with Jordan Grace. Like I said, yeah, she's the liaison between NXT and WWE. She is the Santino Morella for NXT, which is just apropos. Wendy Chu is a welcome in TNA according to Jordan Grace. Grace says, Chu isn't in the building. Sorry. Yeah, Ariana Grace. Oh my God, they're both named Grace. And I have kids. I must say, yeah, this is a Grace moment. Say you're Grace. Say you're Grace. They're not sisters. They're not cousins. Ariana Grace as Jordan says, Wendy Chu is not in the building, but wants both sides to get along and promises nothing will happen to victory road. And then Ariana Grace goes to picky swear with Jordan Grace and Jordan Grace tells her not to. And that's very cute. And meanwhile, there's someone yelling, Oh my God, they're both named Grace. We have to get them away from each other. Yeah, that's going to be a lot. That's the Eddie Edwards problem. That was very upsetting to read in my notes as I read Grace Grace Grace and I'm like, Oh, they're both named Grace. I peeped out when they were like, Ariana Grace, Jordan Grace is like, Oh God, I got to type for I got to write first names, Jordan and Ariana. So you know, Mike Santana wants moose. Not only does he want moose, he wants moose to win the TNA title tomorrow so that it's one more thing that Santana can take for moose because moose took everything from Santana. I'm of multiple minds when it comes to this tomorrow night. I really wouldn't be surprised if moose won the TNA title and they set up Santana versus moose at bound for glory, they want Santana to be next. They want him to be next. He's not going anywhere. This goes back to the Joe Henry conversation. Santana is not going anywhere. They want him to be next and that's fine because I like Mike Santana. I think you'd be a great TNA champion. Nick Nemeth doesn't need to be a champion for long. Honestly, I don't really care for him as champion now. So if they're going to just go back to moose and then give it to Santana, that's just like doing the speedball thing where he won its anniversary and then dropped it a month later so that Zachary Wentz can bring the title into NXT. But regardless, that's a whole other can of worms. I feel like Santana might get his wish and I feel like moose might win and they might set it up for bound for glory. And then Joe Henry does, I don't know what. I got to tell you with what she said now, don't get me wrong. If I'm using my K-Fate brain, I agree with you. I do think in some twist of fate, Nick Nemeth loses and moose regains the title. But if I moose, and I'm Kennedy Davenport, hold on one second, get down, cats, please, the both of you. If I moose, and if I'm Nick Nemeth, I feel like Kennedy Davenport from RuPaul's Drag Race is like, fuck my drag. So everyone's going to overlook me, like moose is just going to pin me. And let's say he doesn't, he doesn't pin moose, you know, moose does say he pins moose rather. Now I got beef with Mike Santana, you know, I understand you want to, you want to beat him, but he don't like, what I got to do with me? Like, don't, don't, don't put that dude on me. You know, it's a built-in thing, maybe he pins Nick Nemeth. I don't know, but I could see it being like, I hate you so much moose, and this is going to be the real system failure. So we'll see. I'm not mad at it either way, but if I'm Nick Nemeth, I'm feeling a little upset. My cats are also upset. It's food time. And white cat just starts to bully Ray. So as one does, I mean, honestly, if you thought you hear a sentence, someone slapped bully Ray, you kind of just go slap him back. This is what's going to happen. And then tomorrow they'll do a whole 15 minutes on bus and open about it. Ash by elegance defeats I have brook side. Iceman does a cheap city fact people heat, as I had written in my notes, Ash at one point sells her butts. We landed on our backside and she said, oh, my butts, brook side hits two broken wings, it's a long time before missing a third. And then Heather reckless comes back, pulls our brook side into the ring post, Ash rolls up side of brook side and gets the win afterwards, Ash doesn't really care that Heather reckless had just helped her, but joins her to go up the ramp and then backstage. They're in the dressing room of ash by elegance. Iceman likes her, but not her luck. And I guess a makeover is in the cards. So I guess we'll be soon calling her hash by elegance. I mean, I'm so congested, I apologize y'all. A makeover would be in the cards except he handed her a seven of clubs. So I don't know how she's going to call that number, so maybe we'll see next Thursday. Maybe she'll get a makeover and we'll be calling her rash by elegance. There's a saying that says, what's like a fart or a ponytail? If you have to force it, it's probably shit. She'll be Heather reckless by elegance. This is the worst job of a man. Yeah, well, you're doing a few weeks off. So what do I care? Make that one. That's true. If I'll give it to me, Joel. Nick Neven says a bunch of WWE guys were tagged by Moose in the post and they could have done this face. I don't give a shit about this match, Chris. I'm sorry. I just don't. When they announced it after the after emergence, Nick Nemeth came out and was like, moose, I want to match. I just I don't care. And they haven't done anything to make me care about Nemeth and Moose. They've done interviews. Sure. They've done tandem interviews no less. But on the television show, they've yelled at each other for two weeks straight. There's nothing. Nothing has been nothing matters. This match doesn't like who could possibly care about Nemeth versus Moose in this case. I think the biggest problem is that unfortunately, as good as heels, the system is, it comes now to the problem where no one cares or the system, you lost the titles. That's what we wanted. We want you to go away. So you're challenging. Again, you aren't the heels that you were before. And no one I don't want to say that no one cares. And also, I don't know, to be fair to Nemeth, who was Nemeth going to challenge? You know, Alexander, I think was a good fee. But it's like, who do we go to next? I do think there is a world where he does pin moose and there is something between moose and Santana or moose and Nemeth. I mean, Santana and Nemeth and moose into fears with that and you make it a theory. I think there's a world where you can facilitate all of that and make it interesting. However, I guess I just want to try to say as I feel for Nemeth because you had no other dance partner besides Alexander that anyone cared about because Moose is so good at being a bad guy. We want to see him lose all the time. If Nemeth could have had a match against Alexander Hammerstone. They could have built up Hammerstone over this time. I'm looking at the roster. What about Kazarian? Who always claims he's king of TNA? Yeah, the Frankie Kazarian is another person that he could have because this show is such a non-show. You could have just done baddie of the week and you're going back to moose and that's why I keep saying it feels like moose is going to get possibly get the win. Hell, you could have had the brother's face off. You could have Nick and Ryan in a match, although I don't think Ryan's really working for the company these days. All this comes to, I don't, it's fine. I don't know why they're doing it. Some of the chats things, so Nemeth can beat moose, why? To what degree should anyone care that Nick Nemeth can beat moose? There's just no, I don't know, because Moose was the longest reigning champion in the last little while. Sure. That was well, anyway, it's fine. It is what it is. The hardies in the main event, they defeat the system. On its face, this makes sense. It's the hardies getting revenge on the system. On the other hand, the system of a tag team title match tomorrow night against Ace of Baze. So once again, Cressus Dari asked the question, what are we doing here? And the crowd only really cares about Jeff Hardy. Happy birthday, Jeff. Happy belated birthday, Jeff. Twist to pay from the top on Brian Myers, and he ever hits another twist to pay from both brothers gets the Swanton bomb from Jeff, loses the match for his team. Why are the system getting attacked on a match tomorrow? I mean, that's more notes that I have. Thank you. I also was trying to make something out of this. This was not a match that I would care to main events. I'm not going to hold you. I don't, I don't know what this was. Normally, I like both of these guys in action, both like all four of these men in action, but tonight it just, it didn't connect with me. The happy birthday chance is what I have as well, but the system cheating, what a concept. The hardies winning before Victory Road, a choice, but does that mean that the system is winning tomorrow? I don't think so this to me is a choice. I, and that's your TNA impact for September 12th, 2024, Victory Road is tomorrow. You want to run through this crowd real quick and see what we think? Let's do it. Let me give you my ill and foreign predictions law down because she that takes on Leon Slater. I love this bringing in Leon Slater to get a victory and crush Kushida once upon a time. My camera has decided that it is time to stop working. The way we started this show is the way we'll end it. Let it be written. What do you think? Leon Slater and Kushida? This is on the pre-show. You bet. Um, maybe Leon Slater, but I'm going to go in the interest of trying to keep my book steady real Kushida. Wow. I think it's going to be Leon Slater. I think they just brought in Kushida to be a perennial looser. Put over the young guys. The tag team, the tag team match that I'm looking forward to, Steve Macklin and Eric Young versus Jake, something in Hammerstone. I, hmm, I wouldn't mind Jake, something in Hammerstone getting the win here. I would like that as well. However, I do think for storyline wise, since they're fully pushing Macklin right now, again, I think Macklin and Young win it, but I would like Hammerstone and Jake something to win as well. Yeah. I can see that. Macklin and Young going for the tag titles wouldn't be too bad either, but that's, that's on the countdown. Yeah. After that, you can just turn anyway. I, Grudge Man, PCO and Rhino take on Matt Cardona and Steph DeLander. This is going to be hilarious in the weirdest way possible. Cue the Benny Hill music. Da na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na. Steph DeLander turns on PCO Matt Cardona. Steph DeLander win. It's going to be cheap heat, but I'm going to live for it because it's going to be clownery. Yeah. I think Cardona and DeLander win this thing. That's what I think. Hardee's versus first class. I, if the Hardee's won last night, well tonight, I guess, I would like first class to get the win and get Navarro and AJ Francis on the map. I think Rich Swan's going to be back either tomorrow night or by the time they do Spartan work because his, his, his situation has seemingly cleared up. I, if, if the Hardee's win, AJ Francis is going to beat the shed of Casey Navarro and then they'll have a match the next night. And then that's going to lead to the return of Rich Swan. I'm going to go ahead and say sure, I'll be real with you after tonight. I, I, I don't have the strength nor the courage to care about this match. A fair assessment, knockouts, tag team titles on the line, Masha Lisha against Spitfire. I'm kind of inclined to agree with you that Spitfire should lose. Masha Lisha should keep the titles and just split up Spitfire. The problem is you have no other knockouts tag teams. If you do that. Yiker, we booked ourselves into a coordinator ladies and gentlemen because these are four. Well, yes. You're right. But we got four women who I think excel here in the singles form of the knockouts division. I don't know. Well, if not, you said that it's like, yeah, if Danny Moon, it does turn on Jody threat. Who else is in the knockouts tag division? Who? Okay. You're about to add Heather reckless and ash by elegance, which honestly I would be fine with those two being in the knockouts tag division. But then we're right back to our and just giving them the title belts. You bet, baby, Tasha steals could probably use a partner. I'm just going to go ahead and say boo his on this one. Rosemary and havoc. I assume we're going to be back together soon enough. I mean, I guess you got rosemary when the chew tape and paxley. Yeah, you could do well. Chew packs isn't really a thing. Chew is chew and paxley had a breakup. So it's now back to Paxtley and Lyra Valkiria being best friends. Isn't Lyra Valkiria a main roster? I don't watch it. Yeah, they brought her back to NXT for a bit. The, however, if Masha Lisha loses to Spitfire, Spitfire then can draw actually, hmm, I'm just thinking out loud. This can all come back to reckless and elegance against havoc and rosemary. So if Masha Lisha drops to Spitfire, Spitfire drop it to, to, to elegance and reckless and then they drop it to havoc and rosemary. Happetate a, Happetate a one, two, three, that's basically how they book the not God's tag division. So I just gave you the next three champions, whoa, people are saying, when did you and rosemary? Sure. You could do that too. I said this on, on Tuesday's show or on, on in the weeks on Wednesday, I should say the, the segment. If you haven't seen it, they did a rosemary segment, a pre tape and it's very well done. And it's the way rosemary should have been presented seven years ago. If TNA had the budget to put together what they did, it was a very well produced, post produced segment. Rosemary is fantastic and she's one of my favorite wrestlers in TNA. I think she is a cornerstone of the knock out division. I would just hate for them to lose Jordan Grace and rosemary, that would be a wolf. Yeah. I don't know. This is, this is a bit of a toss up. However, all of these shows have at least one title change. That's true. I could feel like we're kind of banking on it being moose and namis. Or this one or the knockouts tag titles, true, true. This is, this is basically the way it is. Yeah. If Moshelicia retains moose is the new champion, if Spitfire wins, Nick Nemeth is going to retain the world title. That's kind of where my brain is. I mean, it makes the most sense, but then again, also, I don't know the rest of the cards. Well, let's get to the rest of the card. Roll tag team titles, ABC, ace of base, take on the system. For some reason, they still got a tag title match, even though they lost the hardies tonight. Feels like ABC are going to retain their tag titles. I agree with that 100%. Wonderful. In a rematch, well, I guess it's not a rematch, but speedball, make Bailey gets his contractually mandated championship shot. He's going to go for the exhibition championship against Zachary Wentz. This is the match that I'm most looking forward to on the main card, Wentz and Speedball. I honestly do not know how that's going to shake out, considering once just one, Speedball is fantastic. I do see a world where cheating and shenanigans happen, where Wentz retains because of shenanigans, but I don't know who was Shenan against Speedball. If anything, I see Wesley coming to TNA, Shenan on Zachary, so Speedball picks up. If people are saying, "Well, I don't like that," that's not how I want to win, you know what I mean? So I don't know, but I do foresee Shenanigans in this match that's going to be fundamentally good within and of itself. I think Wentz retains, I think, not WWE. I think TNA likes having their exhibition championship on WWE programming, and with Wesley having a last man standing match with Zachary Wentz on the CW premiere, that they want the exhibition championship on for that. However, maybe they don't want their exhibition champion losing a match to Wesley. That could be it, too. I mean, maybe there's a world where Wesley loses again, you know? Yeah. People are like, "Hey, listen, we're different, we're not like that other WWE ex-girlfriend of yours. No." It's up in the air. There's reasons to do both. Josh Alexander and Joe Hendry feels like whoever wins this match is going to be gunning for the world title. And if Josh wins, then Josh and Nick Nemeth are going to have a clash over the next few weeks. What do you think wins this match between Hendry and Alexander? I also believe that Josh Alexander is going to kick Joe Hendry in the dick again. So I think both of those are going to happen, but I think Joe Hendry wins here. Does Joe Hendry be successful later on? I don't know. But I think that if I'm a betting person and I'm also a business person for TNA, I would Joe Hendry wins here. Josh Alexander is a little too full of himself and Josh Alexander will still be fine. More dick kicks and wrestling. Honestly, the surprise roll up and the dick kick, I'm sorry, yam back shuffle are the most devastating moves in the game. Mickey had the chick kick. Josh should incorporate the dick kick. That was called the clam jam, but I see Josh Alexander getting the win here. Joe Hendry's been well, Joe Hendry did just lose the NXT championship match. But if he loses to both members of the North, that's a good story. Tell. That's funny. And not God's World Championship. Wendy Chew versus Jordan Grace of Wendy Chew wins the not God's World Championship. I will laugh so hard. Honestly, I hate to, I hate to agree here. I don't think Wendy Chew is a bad wrestler from what I've seen, but I'm like of all the people to beat Jordan Grace, no disrespect to one Wendy Chew. She's not the girl to do it. Sorry. Nick Nemeth moose world title. If moose wins, I might boycott the promotion. If Nick Nemeth retains, I might boycott the promotion. So you saying the winner makes Joel leave town match? Grand opening, grand closing. Not winner makes Joel leave town match. So wait, what? Yeah, no matter who wins, Joel's leaving. Well, you see the other thing like Josh and Joe in the Alexander Hendry match, it's almost like the winner of that match is almost going to tell you who wins the world title match. Well, maybe not again, Nemeth and Hendry isn't like a bad babyface, babyface match. You could do with that one in a few weeks. But if moose wins and Hendry wins, Santana is also getting a shot. Again, moose, I'm stuck on moose and Santana about for glory. And that's Santana's moment. I mean, maybe I have a quadruple triple something that I don't know. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in the Joel Hendry basket because of how hot he is right now. And I'm thinking to myself that if I'm a business person, I want to do what I got to do to keep two of my hottest acts being Grace and Hendry in my company, especially since WWE has given him, "Hey, baby, I'll dance with you, baby girl. Anything you want? You want that diamond ring, baby girl? Get your back diamond. You want to go on just like that? I'll take you anywhere you want to go, but so I want to do what I got to do, but you're also not wrong. Mike Santana has been built up. So it wouldn't make sense. I don't know. There's a lot of moving parts. And this is why I'm not a booker, I'm just a looker. And if Nemeth wins and they do Hendry, Nemeth, down for glory, it's not as impactful. If Joe Hendry wins the title, Joe, again, I keep saying it and I hope people understand what I'm saying. Joe Hendry, this rise is going to be studied from so many angles because the way it's been, the way it's fallen out has not fallen out, but the way it's happened has so many moving parts to it, just like this card. We'll see what happens. Victory Road is tomorrow night, it's Friday night, if you're watching or listening after the fact. There might be a post show. If there is, it's going to be me. If there isn't, then we'll just talk about it on Thursday when the fall out happens. Cress the star. What else is going on for you? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, again, if you miss it at the top of the show, I will not be here between now and October 5th. We did, unfortunately, have to put down my 21 year old R.I.P. Evie, play the Pokemon theme song a little extra loud and I just got a lot of personal stuff going on, so we're going to do a little mental health hiatus and I'll be back. So I won't be here for collision, Victory Road or all that stuff, or even my personal stream, so keep up with your girl over on the Twitter at cress2dstar on twitter.com. There's a link tree in my bio to all my socials, like Instagram, Twitter, whatever else they got. Also too, I want to take this time to say that a lot of you guys who watch this show have reached out to me whether personally or on socials to send your condolences and I want to say that's very kind and very sweet and you guys didn't have to do that. I'm just a girl who yells about wrestling on the internet and I really appreciate everyone who reached out and I do see a lot of the things that my rest is requests. So truly from the bottom of my heart, it means a lot to me. Thank you. It means a lot to me. Thank you guys so much. Joe Pearl, what you got going on? Not much.
