She said the division was in shambles before she got here. She ran down the list of opponents she had beaten. Scott was annoyed as she rattled on. Deonna angrily signed the contract. Scott said that he knows things could be a \u201chot mess\u201d and that in Nashville it could be Hardcore Country. She said \u201cyou\u2019re still not going to tell me?\u201d about her opponent as Scott left the room. Scott said \u201cNo way, Jose\u201d.

Rosemary said the one person capable of bonding them is here tonight. Father James Mitchell laughed and walked in. He said \u201cLet\u2019s get this show on the road\u201d.

Jake\u2019s music played and he walked to the ramp. Jake had Matt Cardona with him. Myers said there was nothing professional about two against one. Myers said that Jake is a professional\u2026 but that doesn\u2019t mean he will be a star. He said that Jake had plain black trunks and boots and a beard that wasn\u2019t trimmed. Jake and Cardona attacked Myers and Beale. Cardona battled Myers in the ring and delivered the Unprettier. Tenille Dashwood gave Cardona a low blow from behind.

He said he was making a match with Brian Myers and Tenille Dashwood against Matt Cardona and a female athlete of his choice. Scott said that Slammiversary would be a \u201chot mess\u201d (alluding to Cardona\u2019s fianc\u00e9 Chelsea Green). Cardona nodded in approval.<\/p>\n<p>-Video package on the Moose vs. Chris Sabin feud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) MOOSE vs. HERNANDEZ (w\/Johnny Swinger)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hernandez attacked Moose at the bell.

Sabin put Moose\u2019s foot in a chair and was going to jump on it, but Moose rolled out and went up the ramp.

Doering clotheslined Bahh for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Joe Doering in 9:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(D.L.\u2019s Take: The match was a flurry of action and ended the show with a bunch of mayhem to get the fans excited for the matches on Saturday.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Violent by Design celebrated in the ring to close the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Impact did an effective job on the final hype for one of its biggest shows of the year, Slammiversary. If the goal was to remind the audience that there was a big show coming up Saturday, they accomplished it. An in-ring interview with the main event participants would have been a nice touch, but the video packages they showed were very well done. The video packages for Deonna Purrazzo and Moose vs. Sabin were good also. The in-ring action did a good job of setting the table for Saturday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S IMPACT TV REPORT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/07\/08\/7-8-impact-wrestling-tv-report-omega-and-callihan-slammiversary-contract-signing-brian-myers-vs-jake-something-more\/\">7\/8 IMPACT WRESTLING TV REPORT: Omega and Callihan Slammiversary contract signing, Brian Myers vs. Jake Something, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1922709975\"><div id=\"pwtor-157758404\"><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>IMPACT WRESTLING TV REPORT JULY 15, 2021 (RECORDED) NASHVILLE, TENN.
