Between last week\u2019s show and this week\u2019s show, I get the impression that changes were made at the last moment. I wonder if the RVD and Katie Forbes talk show segment was excised from last week\u2019s show. Fortunately, it looks like that angle might be over. The wrestling was solid overall but most of the show seem geared to set up, or to promote matches for next week, Victory Road, or Bound for Glory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Bey vs. Trey Miguel vs. TJP \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> Not the best match these three can put together since the whole thing felt a bit rushed but the action was fast and furious with TJP unleashing nifty dual-holds. The winner of the match got a shot at Rohit Raju\u2019s X Division title. While TJP had Chris Bey in a submission, Trey Miguel came off the top with his double knees to take out TJP and get the pin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trey Miguel vs. Rohit Raju (c), X Division Championship match \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> In the true spirit of competition, knowing that Trey is still warmed up after his match and wary that lactic acid build up would hamper Trey if they waited too long, Rohit Raju insisted that the match start with all due haste. A reckless charge from Trey Miguel led to a roll up by Rohit and even though poor Rohit got his hands stuck in Trey\u2019s gear, Rohit was able to complete the pin and remain our champion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kimber Lee vs. Susie \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> Kimber Lee tried to avenge her loss last week at the hands of Susie in a tag team match, by trying to beat her in a singles match. The character of \u201cSusie\u201d is slowly becoming a better wrestler and is able to keep up with a more \u201cexperienced\u201d opponent. However, as Susie receives more and more damage and the situation become more dire for her, the Su Yung persona begins to manifest. Susie won, but Deonna Purrazzo who accompanied Kimber Lee attacked Susie and Kylie Rae who was accompanying Susie. Purrazzo was on the losing end of the exchange. An angry Kylie grabbed the mic and called her shot at Purrazzo\u2019s title at Bound for Glory. Susie seemed more like Su Yung standing behind Kylie after the attack she suffered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#Heath4IMPACT commercial \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> While I want the story to get to a conclusion already, I got David Hasselhoff and Chuck Norris in an episode of Impact. Sorry New Japan G1 Climax 30, Impact won this week in wrestling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motor City Machine Guns backstage \u2013 PUSH:<\/strong>\u00a0 Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin are locked into idle conversation when the Good Brothers, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson show up to \u201cingratiate\u201d themselves like \u201cgood brothers\u201d. (This whole thing with the Good Bros. is reminding me of FTR\u2019s intro story over at AEW.) While doing so they are dismissive of the Rascalz but Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz overheard them and took umbrage. Wentz got into the Good Brothers faces and demanded a match next week to prove to them that they are worthy of respect. Now, Wentz, there is a pretty definitive line between \u201cbabyface fire\u201d and outright histrionics and Wentz blew past that line with nary a care in the world. What I\u2019m saying is that Wentz needs to cut back a little on the volume is all. Dolph Ziggler thinks you went too far. I\u2019m looking forward to the match to see whether the Rascalz do end up earning the Good Brothers respect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EC3-Moose story segment \u2013 I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON I\u2019M JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE AT THIS POINT:<\/strong> Madison Rayne and Josh Mathews laid the idea that EC3 might only exist in Moose\u2019s head to rest, or did they? Commentary sometimes doesn\u2019t follow along with the storylines or maybe those weren\u2019t the real Mathews and Raynes. Now, things are apparently getting interactive. EC3 has put out the call to fans to look for clues about the whereabouts of the thief that stole Moose\u2019s belt, and to call Moose directly at Moose\u2019s phone number at 407-457-8494. This David Lynchian angle is just\u2026 I don\u2019t know. At the end of the day the onus is on them to provide a satisfactory ending when you have an angle this weird, but I\u2019ve been enjoying the ride thus far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rosemary and Taya backstage \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> Taya Valkyrie confronted Rosemary about not being there for her match last week, demanding to know where she was. \u201cUnconscious\u201d responded Rosemary, something that could have been avoided had Taya accompanied her to confront Jessicka Havok. Taya understood since she is more excited for Rosemary\u2019s wedding than Rosemary herself and agreed to help Rosemary this time. Rosemary agreed to help Taya with her \u201cFirefly\u201d problem (her name for Kiera Hogan) if in exchanger Taya helps her with Havok. In an absolute amazing turn of events, Taya showed character growth by offering to help Rosemary first since that was more important. (Seriously, Rosemary was stunned, too.) Rosemary asked about Taya needing to watch over (meaning micromanage) John E. Bravo and in another stunning revelation, Taya admitted that Bravo can take care of things himself. Cut to Bravo \u201cmarshalling\u201d the troops of his groomsmen, Fallah Bahh, the Deaners, Johnny Swinger, Crazzy Steve, and Alisha Edwards who was confused since she was supposed to be with the bridal party. The Deaners excused themselves since they had a match (and that\u2019s the last they ever saw of them\u2026) Johnny Swinger\u2019s involvement is sure to backfire on Bravo and Crazzy Steve had a twinkle in his eye suggesting something either mischievous, or something that\u2019ll at some point save the day.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-804590572\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Brian Myers interview \u2013 PUSH:<\/strong> Unhappy that his recent loss to Willie Mack was brought up, Brian Myers flipped a table in a fit of tantrum. Tommy Dreamer showed up to tell him to clean up his mess and to act like, well, a professional. Brian did not like the way Dreamer stood up to him but agreed to clean his mess up as long as Dreamer never crossed his path again. Looks like they are setting something up between these two, especially since they brought up their previous history. Brian did show some signs of a character, so it is a more promising segment for him, but if its too early to tell if this is a new facet of his character, or just a trick of the light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric Young murders the Deaners \u2013 PUSH:<\/strong> Earlier, Eric Young put out one a video promo where the heel pre-absolves himself of the sins that he is about to commit, blaming his actions on someone else (like in politics). His sin was to be the murder of the Deaners. Eric Young attacked as the Deaners were coming out for their match. He concentrated on Cody Deaner first and while Cousin Jake got the better of Eric for a moment, it would not amount to much as he too was destroyed. Scott D\u2019Amore risked himself running in to try and talk some sense into Eric. Finally, Eddie Edwards made the save after getting on a plane in Boston, flying in. Checking in at the hotel. Waiting for his COVID-19 test results. And finally making the save. Eventually. Took a while is all I\u2019m saying. Afterwards Eddie confronted D\u2019Amore about not being granted a rematch and an irate D\u2019Amore gave him one at Victory Road. I gave this a PUSH because, although I liked the beginning and ending and overall content, the beatdown was farcically long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RVD vs. Sami Callihan \u2013 MISS:<\/strong> At least this may finally be over. Gods, please tell me this is over. This match came about on social media (which I do not partake in) and it has a stipulation Katie Forbes and RVD didn\u2019t completely think all the way through. If RVD wins, Katie gets five minutes with Sami Callihan. The match was fine, RVD wins thanks to some hairspray from Katie, and the two beat Sami up. Eventually Sami gets rid of RVD and piledrives Katie, hopefully ending this utter waste of Sami Callihan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ace Austin and Madman Fulton backstage interview \u2013 HIT<\/strong>: Ace Austin claims that by pinning Chris Sabin last week, they are the next in line for the tag championship. The North, Ethan Page and Josh Alexander arrived to disabuse them of that idea, claiming that it was the overall team that won, a victory set up by the North. The North challenged Ace and Madman Fulton to a match next week. Fulton got into Page\u2019s face and to his credit, Page did not back down. While he\u2019s never really been portrayed as such while in the North, Ethan Page has always had and air of \u201cchicken sh*t\u201d heel about him, so when he stands his ground, it is always impressive to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordynne Grace vs. Tennille Dashwood \u2013 HIT:<\/strong> It looks like Tennille Dashwood\u2019s new persona is that of a social media influencer which solidifies her as the ultimate scumbag heel in my book. It also looks like Kaleb \u201cwith a \u2018K\u2019\u201d Konley (also with a \u201cK\u201d) is going to be part of her gimmick going forward as his distraction proved crucial in getting her the win. This was the good match I\u2019d hope from these two until I was taken out of it by a nasty-looking Michinoku driver Jordynne Grace delivered to Tennille. It was on of those \u201cyou can hear the concern on the voice of the commentator\u201d kind of slip ups. Overall, the win solidifies Tennille as a threat moving upwards but grace can make a case for a rematch.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/09\/22\/9-22-impact-wrestling-tv-report-ec3-gives-away-mooses-number-heath-lobbies-for-job-sami-callihan-vs-rvd-dashwood-vs-grace-bey-vs-miguel-vs-tjp-raju-defends\/\">9\/22 IMPACT WRESTLING TV REPORT: EC3 gives away Moose\u2019s number, Heath lobbies for job, Sami Callihan vs. RVD, Dashwood vs. Grace, Bey vs. Miguel vs. TJP, Raju defends<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-212377582\"><div id=\"pwtor-3229135823\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Final impact \u2013 PUSH: With only four real matches this felt like a show heavy on the angles.
