I really dig his work, I think he can go. This was a great match which resulted in a Santana win, it helped establish Navarro. AJ Francis and KC Navarro work really well together. I\u2019m enjoying this version of Fir$t Cla$$ much more than the previous one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE NEMETHS BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW WITH GIA MILLER &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ooof. Seeing the Nemeths cut promos back to back, there is a vast skill gap on the mic. Ryan Nemeth isn\u2019t bad in the ring, but boy, he really needs a manager.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE HARDYS AND ACE AUSTIN BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW WITH GIA MILLER &#8211; MINOR HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Love that the Hardys and Ace Austin were wearing the support Bey shirts. Worked really well. I\u2019m not sure why Trent Seven, Jake Something, and Hammerstone are working together (because they are all tall guys? IDK). However, I\u2019m looking forward to the six person match between all of them this upcoming week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) THE RASCALZ (Trey Miguel &amp; Zachary Wentz) vs. ALAN ANGELS &amp; JAKE CRIST &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ok, I\u2019m really down with the Alan Angels and Jake Crist team. It\u2019s good to see them both. This was a pretty good match as well. A little short, but a good showing.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2667885069\" 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<hr \/>\n<h4>Check out the latest episode of the &#8220;All Elite Conversation Club&#8221; with Joel Dehnel and Gregg Kanner, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/all-elite-conversation-club-dehnel-kanner-discuss-hype-to-full-gear-and-how-lineup-compares-to-previous-ppvs-aew-world-title-storyline--62761318\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=62761318&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>SPITFIRE BACKSTAGE SEGMENT &#8211; MINOR MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seriously, between Joe Hendry and now Spitfire basically being bullies to their opponent, what is it with TNA faces cutting heel promos?<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) STEVE MACLIN &amp; JONATHAN GRESHAM &amp; ERIC YOUNG vs. THE NORTHERN ARMORY (Josh Alexander &amp; Judas Icarus &amp; Travis Williams) &#8211; MINOR HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here for this. While Judas Icarus and Travis Williams are the young bloods here, pound for pound, this is some of the best wrestlers in the world. Two technical masters, a pair of amazing brawlers, and add in a promising tag team, this is a fantastic set up. Fantastic match, and a really good showing by all, even the issues in the match between people on the same side are helping build the story lines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FRANKIE KAZARIAN BACKSTAGE &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alright, so the \u201cCall Your Shot\u201d hasn\u2019t officially been redeemed. Good to know. Rhino vs Kazarian, I feel like I\u2019ve seen this match a few times &#8211; it feels like a placeholder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MACLIN SHOWDOWN WITH YOUNG AND GRESHAM &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, this is continuing the Eric Young bringing Maclin over to the right side of things. He\u2019s saying what he needs to say, the things that Maclin needs to hear.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2976870067\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(4) JOE HENDRY vs. RYAN NEMETH &#8211; MINOR HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, this was fine. Everyone was a competent wrestler. The Joe Hendry \u201cHe\u2019s Nic Nemeth\u2019s Brother The End\u201d song is quite possibly one of the most brutal cut downs I\u2019ve seen in wrestling. Just totally dismissive of someone\u2019s abilities, especially since they are both about on the same level of in ring ability. Hendry has improved in the last few months, but still isn\u2019t quite there yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) ROSEMARY vs. JADA STONE &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this match, and I want Jada Stone to be hired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE SYSTEM RING CEREMONY &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was weird. It was &#8220;earlier tonight.&#8221; It\u2019s a taped show, why didn\u2019t it happen at the top of the show? Also, those rings look like something from the Josten\u2019s website. Not saying that if TNA put out a cheap plastic one for $20, I wouldn\u2019t buy it. I AM saying that I wouldn\u2019t pay $250 for one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALISHA EDWARDS ADDRESSES THE AUDIENCE &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alisha Edwards has gotten much better on the mic. Honestly, she\u2019s channeling some old school Vickie Geurrero with her \u201cYou wanna know something?!?\u201d. I\u2019m here for it. It\u2019s so great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) NIC NEMETH vs. BRIAN MYERS (w\/Eddie Edwards &amp; Alisha Edwards) &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a great match. Brian Myers is one of the most consistently under rated hands in the business. Everytime he\u2019s presented with a new circumstance, he rises to it. Every situation he\u2019s asked to do something, he fulfills the role with aplomb. Honestly, if WWE hadn\u2019t bungled him so badly, he\u2019d be in a much better position. While that is great, and a fun match, the real story line here is the continued build to the eventual Nic Nemeth vs. Joe Hendry for the title. They are doing a pretty good build for a Face\/Face build up, so I\u2019m kinda dreading what is going to happen with whatever Layfield is doing. Hopefully, they just drop that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEVE MACLIN STARTS A ROADTRIP &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a long slow build to Maclin being a face. Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t have done it, but I think that he\u2019s going to be around TNA for a good long time, and everything he\u2019s done has been really good. I think that they are generally building to a \u2018loser leaves town\u2019 match with Alexander, and then Maclin will take over as the face of TNA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A really good show, with a lot of building, but some still obvious spots that were thrown together. I think they are in a really good spot with a lot of things. The Knockouts Division still needs some work, and comparing the two tag divisions brings it into stark contrast. The men\u2019s tag division is probably the strongest and most competitive tag division in the world right now, and the Knockouts tag division is anemic.<\/p>\n<p>Stay right here and keep the flow going.
