411’s IMPACT WRESTLING REPORT 9.03.14

  • Match times are not exact.
  • Highlights from last week’s show.
  • Lashley, MVP and Kenny King make their way to the ring. MVP puts over Lashley as the world champion and notes that he will soon win the Bellator MMA world title as well. MVP then says no one is tougher than Lashley, and just as he finishes that statement, Samoa Joe’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring, because ain’t no one got time for this shit. Joe says that he is impressed with MVP’s ability to be a hype man, singing the praises of his champion. Joe says that Lashley has decimated the competition to get where he is, he is a specimen, but he is not the toughest man in the city. MVP says Lashley is the toughest on the planet, but Joe disagrees; because Lashley isn’t the toughest man in the ring right now. Lets make it simple, lets put these titles to the side, and if you’re really the toughest in the world, step in here and fight me punk. King starts to talk trash, and Joe punches him leading to the big attack on Joe. They lay the boots to Joe in the corner, and security has to break things up. The crowd wants them to keep fighting, but MVP says if Joe wants a fight… Lashley interrupts, takes the mic and says Joe gets his fight tonight.
  • HAVOK has arrived.
  • We get a promo for Kim vs. Terrell.

    Knockouts Title Match: Gail Kim © vs. Taryn Terrell

    Lock up, they push away, and then lock up again. Roll up by Kim for 2. Trip by Terrell, monkey flip follows and then tries for a suplex; roll up by Kim for 2. Kim goes for a dropkick, countered and a roll up by Terrell for 2. Kim then counters a monkey flip, but Terrell gets another roll up for 2. They trade forearms; front flip neckbreaker by Terrell follows. Off the ropes with the clothesline, and then Terrell covers for 2. She heads to the ropes, Kim cuts her off and follows her up, RANA follows! Clothesline by Kim follows, and then divorce court connects. Kim misses the corner splash and flies to the floor. Terrell to the floor, picks Kim up and they brawl on the floor and then onto the steps. Kim then hits a neck breaker on the steps and BOTH ladies are down. They both barely beat the count, and then Kim hits eat defeat out of nowhere, but Terrell kicks out at 2! They trade forearms; Terrell counters eat defeat and then connects with the cutter but only gets 2. Terrell up top, high cross connects, but Kim rolls through and scores the win with the 1984 Crockett finish.

    Side note: Taz and Tenay spending time discussing the Knockouts calendar while a title match is going on was pathetic. The ladies were working hard and having a good match, and they took away from it in my opinion.

    OFFICIAL RESULT

  • : Gail Kim @ 6:00 via pin

  • Post match we have the sign of respect and a hug… but then shit got real because HAVOK arrived on the scene. She hits the ring, clotheslines and an air raid crash to Terrell. Kim tries to fight back, but HAVOK chokeslams her with ease, and then follows that with the air raid crash on Kim. She places Terrell on top of Kim and stands tall.

  • Eric Young meets with MVP, and MVP tries to cause drama telling Young that Roode is out for himself.
  • EC3 walks.
  • DJ Z, Jessie and Robbie are out on the town and they discuss who they will be dating due to the matching App they were using. They fight over Jessie stealing the Knockout from Robbie, and apparently she has texted Jessie. Robbie has bad service… end segment.
  • Ethan Carter III makes his way out with Rockstar Spud. Spud has a suit made of money fabric, and hair higher than Kid from Kid’n Play. Carter bashes the fans for cheering about his Aunt D being put through a table, Dixie is a saint, but now the Carter charity ends. Rhino is now cut off, he will now hand out beating to Rhino instead of money. His violence will continue against all of those accountable, and it will continue until his demands are met. Spud has forgot the list of demands, so Carter lists the demands. Bully Ray being fired, no more use of the terms hardcore and extreme, and finally respect for all he has done in this ring. No more you can’t wrestle chants. He disagrees, because he’s very good. He is the greatest professional wrestler alive. They chant for CM Punk, and Carter says he’d love to beat him as well. Rhino hits the ring and takes out Spud, and then attacks Carter. Spud helps Carter escape, and Rhino demands to face Carter. Carter says if Rhino wants a fight tonight, then he got it. Carter says Rhino will face Spud tonight.
