She starts to sing Jeff Hardy\u2019s \u201cObsolete\u201d song. She\u2019s later joined by Jeff, Matt Hardy, and Senor Benjamin. Matt said Reby\u2019s a master of ivory keys. Matt then told Maxel to play on his toy piano. Matt said Maxel\u2019s song gave Matt a premonition that the first great battle between the Hardy brothers and Decay will take place at their compound.<\/p>\n<p>Matt told Senor Benjamin and Vanguard One to protect the grounds and his family while he goes \u201cto the zone of Impact\u201d with Jeff. Reby emerges from the house with either a scepter or sword, it\u2019s hard to tell, and says she believes they\u2019ll be all right.<\/p>\n<p>In-arena: Mike Bennett and Maria head to the ring. The announcers pay no attention to the video that just aired, instead throwing to a replay of Bennett eliminating Moose in a battle royal last week.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said he\u2019s been asking the people for a year if they believed, and they replied that they do. Bennett said that the people believe in the \u201cmiracle movement\u201d and tonight he\u2019ll complete the mission when he becomes the TNA World Hvt. champion.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said he would become the world champion because he\u2019s \u201cthe best damn wrestler on the planet\u201d and he surrounds himself with successful people. Bennett pointed out Maria as a perfect example of that. Bennett said he also surrounds himself with the most destructive force in pro wrestling, Moose.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said the question is obviously, where\u2019s Moose? Bennett said Lashley is trying to drive a wedge between him and Moose, so he asked Moose to come to the ring and clarify that they are still on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of Moose, Bobby Lashley\u2019s music hit and he came to the ring with a mixed reaction at worst, and what sounded like a small babyface reaction.\u00a0Lashley told Bennett that Moose wants nothing to do with him.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-202555970\" 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>\u201cThis whole little confidence game is out the window,\u201d Lashley said. \u201cLook at you, and look at me. I don\u2019t have to fake confidence. I am sure I am going to beat you, just like I beat Kurt, Drew Galloway, James Storm, D.J. Z. We can throw all the rules out the window, because I am sure I will destroy you tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said Lashley\u2019s issue is that he\u2019s too cocky. Lashley suggested that tonight\u2019s main event should be no disqualification, because the only way Bennett has a chance to win is if he has Moose, and he doesn\u2019t anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said that Lashley was jealous of Moose. Bennett said Moose was bigger, badder and just better. Bennett told Lashley that he doesn\u2019t believe Moose went to dinner with Moose.<\/p>\n<p>Lashley said that the evidence points to the fact that he did, because if he didn\u2019t, where is he? Lashley said he smartened Moose up, and told him Bennett would do nothing but use him. Lashley said that maybe he promised Moose a title shot in the future? Or maybe Moose just hates Bennett\u2019s guts.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said he knows Moose is on his side, and tonight he will win the TNA World Championship. Lashley said he is confident he\u2019d beat Bennett, and there is no one that can stop him.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Moose\u2019s music plays. The camera cuts to the entrance where Moose walks out from the backstage area very slowly and then slowly makes his way to the ring with a blank look on his face. Moose begins to lick his lips as he walks to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd chants along with Moose\u2019s theme and Lashley laughs at Bennett, saying they would hear what he had to say.\u00a0Moose grabs a microphone in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s real funny,\u201d Moose said, \u201chow everyone is talking about me.

Mathews said we would hear from Galloway later tonight.<\/p>\n<p>In-arena: Crazzy Steve is in the middle of his ring entrance. Decay is not with him. Matt Hardy with Brother Nero are out next.<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8212; TNA tag champion CRAZZY STEVE vs. BROKEN MATT HARDY (w\/Brother Nero)<\/p>\n<p>Steve drools to start the match, literally drooling all over himself. Hardy makes noises with his mouth wide open. Steve proposes they start with a test of strength and Hardy immediately bites Steve\u2019s arm. Steve comes back by biting Hardy\u2019s arm. Mathews calls it a \u201ctaste of strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the outside, Brother Nero puts his boot on his hand and punches Steve several times. Matt yells \u201cdelete!\u201d from inside the ring.\u00a0Hardy hits a twist of fate for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Matt Hardy at 4:27.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Hardy and Brother Nero are leaving as Steve grabs a mic and he\u2019s laughing. He tells Hardy that he\u2019s blind to what goes on around him. He said he might be alone, but Decay is everywhere, including the Hardy estate.<\/p>\n<p>Steve said that King Maxel no longer belongs to him and Reby. For now, he\u2019s Rosemary\u2019s baby.\u00a0Hardy freaks out on the ramp and runs to the back with Brother Nero.<\/p>\n<p>[MM Reax: I have a strict \u201cno kidnapping babies\u201d policy when it comes to pro wrestling. That said, while this whole angle and these characters are so campy, I think they\u2019re creating a new campy category, I\u2019m digging the whole thing. The Final Deletion garnered a lot of buzz for TNA, and it sounds like they\u2019re headed down that same road here with Decay and the Broken Hardys. They\u2019ll have to do a lot to top the first match. It\u2019s not as if that first Final Deletion is going to win match of the year, but it generated a lot of buzz for the company and that might be more important for TNA right now. People need to learn that they exist again, and like it or not, this Hardy storyline and Matt Hardy in particular, is getting people talking.]<\/p>\n<p>Video: TNA runs a package on the X Division with several X Division wrestlers talking about what it means to be the X Division Champion and what the X Division stands for. Rockstar Spud said that X Division built TNA.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 8:26]<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;Q3] Backstage: Hardy told Brother Nero that he fears Steve isn\u2019t bluffing, and then tried to Facetime Reby.\u00a0Reby didn\u2019t answer her phone, and Hardy told Vanguard One to scan the grounds, for there is an imminent threat. There is a shot inside the Hardy compound of Maxel in a playpen. In the distance, we see Rosemary.<\/p>\n<p>[MM Reax: Totally off topic, but kind of not, where\u2019s Bram?]<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8212; TREVOR LEE vs. D.J. Z vs. ANDREW EVERETT vs. BRAXTON SUTTER vs. ROCKSTAR SPUD vs. MANDREWS &#8212; Ultimate X gauntlet match for the X Division championship<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Lee is introduced first, followed by D.J. Z. The match begins with these two in the ring. Every few minutes, another wrestler will be added but Mathews points out that the match can end even before everyone is introduced, if someone grabbed the title.<\/p>\n<p>D.J. Z and Trevor Lee trade offense. Mathews said if Andrew Everett comes out next, the Helms Dynasty could work together.\u00a0Mathews said the next wrestler in will be determined by a blind draw.\u00a0D.J. Z climbs the turnbuckle and tries to climb to the center, but Lee cuts him off.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2:35 mark, Andrew Everett enters the match. The Helms Dynasty begins to double-team D.J. Z, including a big kick on the apron by Lee.\u00a0After getting D.J. Z down, Lee and Everett appear to argue about who should climb and go after the title. Lee goes for the belt and Everett is helping him, but Mandrews enters the match at the 4:50 mark and takes out both Everett and Lee.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 8:39]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, at the 10:50 mark of the match, Mathews said that Braxton Sutter entered the match. Rockstar Spud, the last entrant, comes in only a few seconds after returning from commercial.<\/p>\n<p>[Q4] With everyone down, Spud goes directly to the corner and tries to climb across for the title but Sutter cuts him off. Sutter hits a powerslam.\u00a0D.J. Z takes out everyone on the outside with a dive but after thinking about going for the belt, he gets cut off by Lee and powerbombed onto the ringside steps.<\/p>\n<p>In the ring, Lee hits a double stomp on Mandrews. Lee then goes after Sutter but Sutter clotheslines him over the top rope.\u00a0Lee then gets back in the ring and hits a huge german suplex on Sutter, but Sutter is back up and hits a huge frankensteiner. Sutter then began climbing for the title but Spud cut him off with a chair shot to the hip. Spud then smashed the chair over a fallen Sutter several times.<\/p>\n<p>Mandrews springboards in and dropkicks the chair into Spud\u2019s face.\u00a0Lee and Everett climb for the belt and both get there at the same time. As Everett and Lee argue over who is going to win the title, D.J. Z flies\u00a0in and grabs the belt to win the match.\u00a0After the match, D.J. Z celebrates with the fans around ringside.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: D.J. Z captures the title at 16:31 to become the new X Division champion.<\/p>\n<p>[MM Reax: These matches have the potential to be total clusters, but the pace here was very good and they did a nice job spacing out the spots and giving everyone a bit of a moment to shine. The tease of dissension in the Helms Dynasty also feels long overdue. It\u2019s time for TNA to begin elevating Lee beyond just \u201cstandard X Division wrestler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>D.J. Z is the perfect choice to carry that X Division torch right now, too. They should book him similar to the way WWE booked John Cena with the U.S. Title last year. That\u2019s not to say D.J. Z should have an open challenge, but there is the potential for some very good one-on-one matches here, including maybe bringing in some outside talent for one-off matches? Why not? Can you imagine D.J. Z vs. A.R. Fox, for instance?\u00a0It\u2019s going to take a lot to rebuild the X Division, but of everyone on the roster right now, D.J. Z is the guy to build around as a babyface.]<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: ECIII said last week\u2019s match with Galloway was a fight for his life. He said that what happened after the match between Galloway and Rex wasn\u2019t his business. He said his business was winning the World Title.<\/p>\n<p>Eli Drake ran into the interview and said that when he beats ECIII tonight, he\u2019ll be the No. 1 contender when ECIII wins the title. ECIII said he would kick Drake\u2019s ass tonight and Drake struggled to come back with something.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight: ECIII vs. Eli Drake.<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: A cameraman runs up and catches Drew Galloway, who said he supposes they want to know what happened. Galloway said this isn\u2019t the place and the cameraman isn\u2019t the person, but he\u2019s going to go out to the place where it all happened last week and he would tell everyone what\u2019s going on inside his head.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 8:53]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, Mathews touted 50,000 views on YouTube after Allie won the Knockouts Title last week. Still to come, there will be a championship celebration.<\/p>\n<p>In-arena: Drew Galloway makes his entrance to explain his actions from last week, when he brutally attacked Aron Rex after the main event.<\/p>\n<p>[Q5 &#8212; second hour] There\u2019s a difference in his attire, as he\u2019s wearing a black hoodie with his hair over his face.\u00a0The arena remains dimly lit as Galloway begins. He said you don\u2019t know what you have until it\u2019s gone, or until it breaks or snaps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy, when I first came in, did I stand up for this place?\u201d Galloway said. \u201cWhen I won the World Title we partied together and we partied for a week. \u2026 Then when I lost the title and ECIII screwed me over, you chanted his name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galloway said that after last week\u2019s match, he looked around and saw the crowd clapping their hands and while he was appreciating the thanks for a great match, he noticed the fans were cheering for the referee and not him. He told the fans that they are responsible for last week, not Rex or ECIII. It\u2019s the fans who turned their back on Galloway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re trying to be the next me,\u201d Galloway said, \u201cand in that respect I am your Messiah. If I see you again I will put you in the bloody hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy Corgan\u2019s music plays and the TNA president walks out from backstage wearing a suit and shades.\u00a0\u201cMr. Galloway,\u201d he said. \u201cIt goes without saying that your actions were reprehensible.\u201d\u00a0Corgan said Galloway has a case of Scottish paranoia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have considered suspending you without pay,\u201d Corgan said. \u201cBut then a little bird got in my ear and talked me out of it.\u201d\u00a0Galloway said he was disappointed in Corgan. For someone who was such a rebel, Galloway said that Corgan has become the establishment. He called Corgan \u201cDixie Carter\u2019s little b&#8212;-.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReal cute, Mr. Galloway,\u201d Corgan said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t Mrs. Carter \u2026\u201d\u00a0Rex came out from backstage and said it was him.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t need you suspended, princess,\u201d Rex said.<\/p>\n<p>Rex then ran towards the ring and they start brawling around ringside. Rex throws Galloway into the steel steps twice and then grabs a chair, he goes for a headshot but security runs between them.<\/p>\n<p>Galloway charges through security and attacks Rex. The brawl continues on the ramp. Finally, they are pulled apart but Galloway and Rex both fight free and meet again on the ramp, brawling on the ground, rolling and trading punches.<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: Moose is shown backstage and Mathews said that Moose said earlier he would decide who wins the World Title tonight.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 9:07]<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8212; ETHAN CARTER III vs. ELI DRAKE<\/p>\n<p>The match spills to the outside early. Drake chops ECIII on the railing and ECIII chops back.<\/p>\n<p>[Q6] The match goes back into the ring. Drake sets up ECIII on the ropes and begins to choke him with his leg.Drake hits a suplex for a two count. ECIII comes back with a sunset flip for a two count.<\/p>\n<p>Drake puts the boots to ECIII on the mat. He lifts ECIII back up and ECIII starts to fire back with some quick shots. ECIII hits a TK3 and then drops Drake with a huge clothesline.\u00a0ECIII lands an ECIII splash and then follows it up with his signature flapjack. ECIII nails the\u00a0One-Percenter for the win.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, ECIII celebrates as Mathews pumps that he\u2019ll challenge the TNA World Champion at Bound For Glory.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: ECIII at 5:52.<\/p>\n<p>[MM Reax: Solid match and ECIII looked good. It made sense to keep him strong ahead of his title shot next month. However it was a nice addition for TNA to add the stipulation that Drake would become No. 1 contender against ECIII if he won the match and ECIII became champion. It was a little confusing at first, but it gave the match some consequence and some meaning, rather than just presenting a match for the sake of a match.]<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: Jeremy Borash brings in Allie for an interview. She\u2019s carrying balloons. Allie said Maria gave her a detailed list for her celebration, and she has all of the decorations. Allie said this was going to be the best moment of her life.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 9:22]<\/p>\n<p>Video: Matt Hardy calls Reby and tells her that Rosemary is in their house. She tells Matt to get back there and that she would go get Maxel right now.\u00a0Reby holds Maxel as the doorknob turns. It\u2019s Senor Benjamin. Reby gives Maxel to Senor Benjamin, and said she would \u201cget this b&#8212;-\u00a0myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: D.J. Z is asked about winning the X Division Title. He said that 2016 has been his year and he\u2019s working harder than ever. He said for a long time, he was doing just enough to get by, but he rededicated himself. He said hard work pays off. He said it\u2019s hard to get back to the title, and it\u2019s even harder to keep it, but he\u2019s ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>In-arena: Jeremy Borash introduced Allie for her celebration. Mathews shows replays of Allie\u2019s win from last week.\u00a0Allie is alone in the ring. She said tonight is a celebration of her, the new Knockouts Champion.<\/p>\n<p>[Q7] Allie said she never thought this day would come in a million, trillion years. She thanked the fans for chanting her name last week. Allie said that none of this would be possible if not for the one person who has always believed in her \u2026 Allie was about to introduce Maria, but Sienna stormed to the ring. Maria was chasing Sienna from the back.<\/p>\n<p>Sienna backed Allie into the corner, screaming that she wasn\u2019t going to do this to her.\u00a0Maria said that this was Gail Kim\u2019s fault. Maria told\u00a0Siena to go to the back, and then said to trust her.<\/p>\n<p>Maria said that Allie was a little confused about the celebration. Allie said she was honored. Maria laughed and said Allie believed the celebration is for her? She laughed and said no one would ever celebrate Allie, she\u2019s just an assistant.<\/p>\n<p>Maria told Allie she was worthless. Maria told Allie she messed up her division. Maria screamed at Allie to shut up as Allie began crying. Maria said the celebration wasn\u2019t for her, it was for opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Allie said Maria gave the rest of the Knockouts the night off, so who is her opponent? Maria then ordered Allie to lay down and she brought out a referee.\u00a0Allie said she doesn\u2019t want to lay down. Maria asked if Allie wanted her job, and said she was nothing before her.<\/p>\n<p>Allie dropped to her knees. She thought about laying down and Maria kicked her. She told the referee to ring the bell.<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211;TNA Knockouts Champion ALLIE vs. MARIA &#8212; singles match for the TNA Knockouts Championship<\/p>\n<p>Maria covered Allie for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Maria in 0:03 to become the new Knockouts Champion.<\/p>\n<p>Post-match, Maria demanded that Allie announce her as the new champion. Allie did as she was told, through tears. Maria then said the celebration could begin.\u00a0Mathews called this an atrocity.\u00a0Maria gloated as she walked back up the ramp. Allie looks devastated in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Backstage: Mike Bennett approached Moose. Bennett said all of their problems were Lashley\u2019s fault. Bennett told Moose not to believe what he reads on social media. Bennett compared him and Moose to Tom Brady and deflated footballs, and said Brady doesn\u2019t listen to people on Twitter.\u00a0Bennett said tonight was their Super Bowl. Bennett said you can\u2019t win the game without the right equipment, and he handed Moose a pipe, saying he knows Moose would do what was right for them.<\/p>\n<p>Up Next: Moose vs. Lashley for the TNA World Title.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 9:37]<\/p>\n<p>Video: Reby is walking through the halls of her house with a flashlight. She pulls out her sword and Rosemary appears. Reby chases her, but Rosemary appears to fly away.\u00a0Reby runs outside and yells for Rosemary, who appears on the balcony. She asked Reby how much does she love her baby, and appears to throw him off the balcony, but it\u2019s a fake baby.<\/p>\n<p>Rosemary disappears. Senor Benjamin runs out holding Maxel and we see a quick clip of Rosemary running off. Senor Benjamin says it\u2019s okay, she\u2019s gone.\u00a0Reby tells Senor Benjamin to prepare the battlefield for massacre.<\/p>\n<p>In-arena: Maria introduced Mike Bennett for tonight\u2019s main event. Lashley is out next. Moose does not enter with either competitor.<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8212; TNA World Hvt. champion LASHLEY vs. MIKE BENNETT (w\/Maria) &#8212; singles match for the TNA World Hvt.

Lashley goes on the attack at first, cornering Bennett and throwing punches and kicks.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett throws a punch at Lashley, but he no-sells it. Lashley then drops Bennett with a clothesline.\u00a0Lashley plants Bennett with a delayed vertical suplex. Lashley is already setting up for a spear, but Moose walks down the ramp.<\/p>\n<p>[Commercial Break at 9:47]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, Bennett is in control. Before the break, Lashley was setting up for a spear. We\u2019re not sure how Bennett suddenly controls the match out of the break and no one tells us.<\/p>\n<p>Moose is shown holding the pipe at ringside. Mathews said we\u2019ll see what Moose\u2019s intentions are, so apparently Moose didn\u2019t help Bennett gain control of the match.\u00a0Lashley picks up Bennett and Maria runs in, hitting Lashley in the back with her wrist brace. Lashley drops Bennett and stares at Maria, but Bennett flies in with a running back elbow to gain control again.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett rolls Lashley to the outside. The crowd is chanting \u201cLet\u2019s go Lashley!\u201d\u00a0Maria smashes the Knockouts Title on Lashley\u2019s temple, putting him down. Maria then yells for Moose and Moose rolls Lashley back into the ring. Bennett covers Lashley for a two count.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett drops Lashley with a huge right hand. Bennett picks up lashley for the MIP but Lashley powers out and hits a side slam and a running clothesline.\u00a0Lashley picks up Bennett into a torture rack. Bennett is trying to power out with punches and elbows and he does. Bennett hits the ropes but Lashley catches him. Maria distracted Lashley as he went for a spear and Bennett hit a cutter for a very close two count.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett looks towards Moose and asks for the pipe. Moose went to hand Bennett the pipe but then pulled it back. Moose smiled as Bennett looked furious. Lashley is back up on the other side of the ring and nearly cuts Bennett in half with a spear after he turns around.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Lashley retains at 11:08.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Moose is smiling on the ramp while Lashley celebrates his win. Lashley walks past Moose. Bennett grabs a mic and calls Moose a big, stupid animal. Bennett called for Moose to get into the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said he can\u2019t breathe, selling the spear. Bennett asked Moose who he thought he was? He called Moose a failed football player. Bennett said Moose was nothing without him. Bennett said Moose does what he says, when he says it. Bennett said if Moose ever did that again, he would make sure Moose never wrestles again.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett then slapped Moose, screaming for Moose to listen to him. Moose turned around and clotheslined Bennett\u2019s head clean off his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Video: Highlights are shown of what appears to be a battle on the compound next week. Delete or Decay is advertised.<\/p>\n<p>[<strong>Final Thoughts:<\/strong> Bound for Glory is starting to come into focus. It looks like we\u2019ll see the following matches:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bobby Lashley vs. ECIII for the TNA Title<\/li>\n<li>Maria vs. Gail Kim or Allie for the KO Title<\/li>\n<li>Aron Rex vs. Drew Galloway<\/li>\n<li>Mike Bennett vs. Moose<\/li>\n<li>D.J. Z defending the X Title against someone<\/li>\n<li>Decay vs. The Broken Hardys for the TNA Tag Titles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Right now, Lashley is a tweener. He was a babyface in this title match, but will almost certainly be the heel against ECIII. I\u2019m not sure if he\u2019s a tweener as much as he\u2019s just a badass. He\u2019s a fighter, and he doesn\u2019t care if people boo him or cheer him. He\u2019s just himself. No gimmick necessary.<\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of very good focus on this show. Almost every segment focused on some sort of championship, although you almost forget that Decay vs. The Hardys is involving the tag titles.<\/p>\n<p>Moose cemented\u00a0himself as a babyface, and it\u2019s pretty clear he\u2019s going to get a TNA Title shot at some point. He\u2019ll have to get through Bennett first, and that will be a good feud for him to get his feet wet in TNA. Bennett should be able to get him over really well, playing off the amount of success Bennett has had this year in TNA.\u00a0Overall, a fun show that had a really good pace and everything felt like it meant something. There wasn\u2019t a single moment of filler.]<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1808208388\"><div id=\"pwtor-3294041825\"><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>TNA Impact Report Sepember 1, 2016 Taped in Orlando, Fla. on Pop TV Report by Mike McMahon, PWTorch contributor (@MikeMcMahonPW) Impact opens with a video of Reby Hardy playing the piano.
