Alexander attempted to powerbomb Marufuji, but he got out, but Alexander hit him with a backbreaker instead. A few strikes back and forth. Alexander gets a torture rack spin out on Marufuji for a near fall. Marufuji hit Sliced Bread #2 for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Marufuji in about 9 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Galindo\u2019s Analysis: Great back and forth match. Good action to start off the show.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-OVE showed up to the building and security told Sami Callihan that Madman Fulton, and the Crist brothers are banned from the building. They got angry but then Sami cooled off and said it was fine and told Dave and Jake to get Fulton some food.<\/p>\n<p>-The Rascalz were hanging out in their clubhouse. Des was talking about Trey\u2019s mom and describing her body. Trey showed up and asked what they were talking about. Wentz said nothing. They joked about Trey living with his mom. Then Fallah Bahh came in and wouldn\u2019t say anything other than his name. Then the Rascalz got Bahh stoned. He had glasses on and spoke perfect English. He started quoting Shakespeare and acting like a bro. He said he didn\u2019t have TJP\u2019s back. Trey quoted Gucci Mane. Dez told him to believe in himself. They all started quoting inspirational catchphrases and Bahh started chanting his name again.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-273095426\" 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>(2) ROSEMARY &amp; JORDYNNE GRACE &amp; ALEXIA NICOLE vs TAYA VALKYRIE &amp; MADISON RAYNE &amp; KIERA HOGAN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nicole and Hogan started together.

Grace then hit Valkyrie with an inside cradle pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Jordynne Grace, Rosemary, and Alexia Nicole in about 8 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Galindo\u2019s Analysis: Very good match to show off what the Knockouts can do but didn\u2019t give a good enough chance to show as much as they can. Would have been a bit more beneficial with less competitors.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes were in a hot tub. He said that he got all his moves from his mind, but today\u2019s stars got all their moves from him. He said without him, there would be no Kenny Omega, Daniel Bryan, or the Young Bucks. He said he was tired of carrying Rhino and he carried all of ECW. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) DESI HIT SQUAD (Rohit Raju &amp; Raj Singh) (w\/Gama Singh) vs RICH SWANN &amp; WILLIE MACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The squad immediately attacked Swann and Mack before the match could start.

Rich Swann was consistent with his offense. The Squad actually looked more aggressive than usual.)<\/p>\n<p>-Rhino grabbed people in the hallway looking for Rob Van Dam. Jimmy Jacobs told him he\u2019s on vacation. Rhino then talked into the camera saying he was going to destroy RVD when he sees him next. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Moose was on a golf course. He talked about being in football and pro wrestling, saying he was the greatest football player, wrestler, and that beating Shamrock means he\u2019s the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Now he will show he\u2019s the greatest golfer of all time. He claimed to get a hole in one and then beat up a guy who picked up his ball and then dropped it into the hole and claimed it was a hole in one.<\/p>\n<p>-Ken Shamrock came out to address his future. He said he never thought he\u2019d be in a wrestling ring again, but Moose lit a fire underneath him. He said he knew he was going to win but it hurt that he lost. He said he did a lot of soul searching to find out what was next. Before he could give his decision, Joey Ryan came out. He put his lollipop in his trunks. He told Shamrock that he has one more mountain to climb and nodded toward his own crotch. Shamrock told him he didn\u2019t know who he was. Ryan said he is the guy who makes wrestling fun again. Shamrock called him \u201cthat penis guy.\u201d He said he\u2019s a real fighter and Ryan is a gimmick. Ryan said it was stiff, no pun intended. He said \u201cif he\u2019s just a gimmick, why is he afraid to touch it? Because it will tap him out faster than the grazing choke?\u201d Shamrock said he wasn\u2019t going to retire but put Impact on notice that he\u2019s going to tear through anyone in his way. He said he will break Ryan\u2019s ankle. Ryan said next week, \u201cThe World\u2019s Most Dangerous Man vs The World\u2019s Most Dangerous Manhood.\u201d They shook hands but Ryan tried to pull his hand to his crotch, but Shamrock pushed him out.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR TWO]<\/h3>\n<p><strong>(4) ACE AUSTIN vs. EDDIE EDWARDS &#8211; Street Fight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eddie dodged a punch and ran into the ring and dove out onto Ace. Eddie suplexed Ace onto the ramp. Eddie went into the back and came out with trashcans. Ace hit Eddie with his baton twice. He hit Eddie in the head with the trashcan.

He hit a version of a Fold from the top of the corner through the table for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ace Austin in over 16 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Galindo\u2019s Analysis: A fun street fight. Violence for violence purposes. It served it\u2019s purpose. The Fold into the trashcan was creative.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Su Yung walked up all nice and said hello to the Deaners. She claimed her name was Susie. She was all nice and cute with no face paint. The Deaners said she was creepier than before and hotter. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Johnny Swinger told Alisha that she has potential. Ace Austin told him to leave her alone because she\u2019s married and doesn\u2019t need scumbags to hit on her. He said she wasn\u2019t there to party with him. She said her relationship with Eddie is too complicated. Ace then asked her out for dinner. She said yes for next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) SAMI CALLIHAN vs. BRIAN CAGE &#8211; Steel Cage Match for the Impact World Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sami dropkicked the door into Cage\u2019s face. Cage then powerbombed Sami into the cage wall. He then lawn darted Sami into the cage wall. Sami pushed him into the cage wall and then ran into the cage. Then locked himself in. Cage climbed over and jumped in. Then the match started. He threw Sami into the cage wall. Sami then hit Cage with the baseball bat. Sami had Melissa written on the chest of his vest. Sami bit Cage\u2019s forehead after he got busted open. He wiped Cage\u2019s blood onto his own face. Sami hit him with the bat two more times. He then ran and crashed into him up against the cage wall. He then crashed against him one more time but then missed the third.

He then hit a super cactus special off the turnbuckle for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Sami Callihan via Pinfall in under 14 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Galindo\u2019s Analysis: A very hard-hitting match. One of the better cage matches I\u2019ve seen in about a year. Jim Ross would have called it a slobber knocker. I thoroughly enjoyed it.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After the match, Sami celebrated with the title belt, looking shocked that he won. Tessa Blanchard came out and got into the cage. He had the bat and belt in his hands. They stared each other down for the closing moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> Great debut on AXS TV. Sami finally won his championship and he deserved it.
