Alexander shined in this match and showed why he is pushed as the best that Impact has to offer. He and Rohit work well together and I would look forward to a rematch.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact Match of the Week: Chris Bey vs. Laredo Kid<\/h3>\n<p>This was an excellent X Division style match and it was given plenty of TV time. Both wrestlers traded exciting, innovative, high-flying moves before Bey put Kid away with a cutter after about 17 minutes of action.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact TV Results (12\/16\/21):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Josh Alexander beat Rohit Raju<\/li>\n<li>Joe Doering &amp; Doc Gallows beat Rich Swann &amp; Willie Mack<\/li>\n<li>Trey Miguel beat John Skyler<\/li>\n<li>Chris Bey beat Laredo Kid<\/li>\n<li>Tenille Dashwood beat Jessie McKay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Throwback Throwdown II PPV Results (12\/18\/21):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Chad 2 Badd beat Bill Ding<\/li>\n<li>Rhythmic Warriors beat Sunday Morning Express<\/li>\n<li>Frank the Butcher beat Rip Rayzor<\/li>\n<li>Georgia Cobb beat Lady Bird Johnston<\/li>\n<li>Giuseppe Scovelli Jr. beat Quincy Cosmos<\/li>\n<li>Harry Hall beat Badlands Bart<\/li>\n<li>Ima Belle beat Rusty Iron<\/li>\n<li>Tim Burr beat Eric Wood<\/li>\n<li>Jazzy Fitbody beat Wanda the Werewoman by DQ<\/li>\n<li>G.I.
