411’s TNA IMPACT WRESTLING REPORT 1.16.15
* Match times are not exact.

* We get highlights from last week’s show.

* Josh Mathews welcomes us from the studio in Nashville, and explains that the show will have a different presentation. He is joined by Taz, who is pumped up and hopes that the fans enjoy the show.

* We see a post match promo from last week, where he discusses Young turning on him and that he will be looking for an explanation. He will face Young tonight.

* They showed that Josh and Taz are calling the action from the studio.

* MVP, Joe, Low Ki, and Kenny King (with some ladies) make their way to the ring. MVP says you can’t keep a good man down, he changed the game and he is back in the driver’s seat. He knew since the day he got into wrestling that it was MVP vs. the world. He knew he had to surround himself with like-minded people geared towards success. He went to his family, Joe and Ki go all the way back to crappy indies working for a hot dog and a handshake. He crowns them the Beat Down Clan. They ain’t nothing to… mess with. Before he brings out Lashley, he will bring out someone who is not a member of the Clan, but a man who has seen the light, and introduces Eric Young. Young already has new music, which I appreciate. He shakes hands with MVP and MVP says that they usually do not see eye to eye, but do in this case. You sold out chants for Young, who says that the opinion of the fans do not matter. The truth is a funny thing, the truth is that he and MVP tried to kill each other, but he knows MVP did something for his family, and for his brother. He respects that. He had a brother once, Roode, who he would do anything for and when Young was world champion, Young gave Roode a shot and beat him. But Roode didn’t give him a shot, he didn’t take care of Young. Last year Young was in the most main events in TNA and he deserved the shot. But maybe, maybe Roode was afraid that Young would beat him again. Young says he is a world-class champion, wrestler and friend. But where was Roode when Young was in the hospital? He just got a text. But he did get a call, not out of fear or pity, he got a call that told him the truth. Young says he took what Roode loves most, and tonight he will take everything else. MVP says he planted the seed, and it has blossomed. And now, he introduces the new champion, Lashley. Lashley doesn’t come out, but Kurt Angle does. Angle says that they are running their mouths, but he sees a group of thugs. MVP says that Angle be careful, because they let him walk. Angle plans to make them all tap and Joe gets in his face right away. Angle lays out Joe with a right and then security is out to keep them all separated. Angle challenges Joe to a match, right now!

Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle: JIP as Joe works over the leg of Angle. Angle tries to fight back, but Joe keeps attacking the leg. Joe now works a knee bar, releases and delivers forearm strikes and jabs. Dragon screw leg whip follows and Angle is down again. Joe ties up the legs for a figure four variation. They randomly shoot backstage to see Lashley, but he’s not there. Back to the feet, jabs and leg kicks by Joe, but Angle hits a German suplex. Another and then the third. Angle looks for the Angle slam, countered and a right by Joe. Corner elbow and enziguri by Joe follows, and then locks in the choke. Angle counters and gets the ankle lock. Joe rolls out, misses a clothesline and then the Angle slam counters, Angle covers for a close 2. Jabs again by Joe, Angle charges but runs into the STJOE. Joe sets Angle up top, looks for the muscle buster, but Angle slips out into the ankle lock. Joe tries to escape, but Angle hangs on. Joe tries to roll again, Angle counters and hangs on. Joe grabs the ref, and then rolls and sends Angle into the ref. LOW BLOW by Joe, and then gets the choke. Angle taps.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Samoa Joe @ 6:00 via submission

* The BDC & Young hits the ring and lays the boots to Angle. Bobby Roode and a chair make the save, clearing the ring.

* Roode is in the ring, sitting in his chair. He is trying to hold back his anger and the frustrations from last week. But already tonight this crap has gone too far. Roode heard what Young had to say about costing him the title, the only thing he loved in the business. Every word that Young said was nothing but a bunch of bullshit. Roode has been here a hell of a love time, and this ring is his home. He lives for wrestling, but tonight, it is not about wrestling, it is about payback. Tonight, he will made Young pay for what he did.

* Taz and Josh are back from the studio, and hype the rest of the show and the other programming on Destination America.

* We get a preview for Tenay’s interview with Magnus, which will air tomorrow on Impact Unlocked.

* We get highlights of EC3 shaving part of Borash’s head last week.

* Spud meets with Borash, who is wearing a hat. Spud apologizes for last week. Spud says that EC3 is insane, and Borash calls EC3 a jackass. He then adds that EC3 will get what’s coming to him.

* James Storm and Revolution appear in the balcony to watch the next match.

We see bald Borash and EC3 talks to him through the earpiece. He mocks Borash for being bald and says if Borash is so tough, Borash will face EC3 in a match. EC3 will give him 30-minutes to make his decision, and if he doesn’t, whose to say what will happen.

* Lashley arrives and walks with a purpose.

NO DQ: Eric Young vs. Bobby Roode: They start brawling on the floor, no lock up bullshit thankfully since they are supposed to hate each other. Roode works over Young with rights on the floor, and we head to a commercial…

* Young goes a bit psycho after the match, yelling at Roode. MVP and King make their way out to the ring. MVP says that he’s sorry that Roode will be going to the hospital. He promises a celebration for Lashley later tonight. As for Roode, maybe someone will visit you in the hospital.

* Austin Aries discusses having to face Low Ki in a rematch for the X-Division Title tonight. He says things have changed, and the BDC is trying to take over. He know she has a battle on his hands, to keep the title and to survive. But when he gets backed into a corner, he gets dangerous.

Kong stands tall, but here comes Havok. This pleases Kong, and they stare down again until security arrives to break them up. There’s tension there….

* EC3 walks and finds Borash backstage. Borash says he is not a wrestler, but EC3 says he is a company man who has worked hard for 13-years, and a man who no one came to help last week. Because no one respects him, and why should they. Borash agrees to fight EC3 next week.

* Some camera guys complain backstage, and Manik tells them to follow him. He leads them to Storm, who says that it is time for the world to meet his newest disciple, Koya (the former Mahabali Shera). Storm says Koya was lost, but has now found Storm and the revolution. Next week, Koya will be unleashed on Impact Wrestling.

* Lashley walks with a purpose.

* The BDC and Eric Young are in the ring. MVP says they have made it clear what they are all about. They have rocked the locker room and have the attention of all of the fans. They have this under control, and they are the guys everyone wants to be like. And the world title has come home, and MVP announces Lashley to come to the ring. MVP says that the fans should be applauding the most dominant champion in TNA history. MVP says they are family and winners. MVP calls the Jets losers, and then says look at Lashley. He looks like a champion, unlike Bobby Roode. From head to toe, he made Lashley look this way, he made Lashley champion, he made Lashley what he is. MVP then says the title belongs to him, King, Joe and Ki, it belongs to the Clan. Lashley takes issue with this, and says that they title belongs to him. Lashley says he is the champ. MVP says he only has the title because they put it on him, because they are family and that is what they do. Lashley says that’s not what he’s about. He tries to leave, and MVP says it does not work this way. He says Lashley is a founding member of the Clan, but Lashley says MVP needs to get his hands off of him. MVP says if it was anyone else, he wouldn’t show mercy. But Lashley is his brother, Lashley took MVP under his ring when they were with the other company, and he loves Lashley. MVP says he can accept that they will walk different paths, and wants to hug it out because brothers gotta hug man. MVP smiles and kisses Lashley, and the beat down of Lashley begins! Lashley does his best to fight them off, but the numbers game is too much for the champion. MVP says if Lashley wants the title, he got it and hits him in the head with it. MVP celebrates with the title and orders the attack to continue. After more beat down, MVP hits a shining wizard and stands over Lashley, holding the world title. MVP then says that the title belongs to the BDC and they leave with the title.

* End scene.
