They interviewed Team Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer talked about his mother having a serious stroke this past week. He said that she always told him to move forward and not waste away. He asked for thoughts and prayers. His mom's eyes opened and he told her he loved her but she's still unresponsive. He said he's trying to fight and move forward despite Impact Wrestling offering to let him take time off. He said after tonight, he's going away. He said Kazarian just went through this with his family, which is true as Kazarian recently lost his father. He said the remainder of his team are people who left their families to pursue pro wrestling. He thanked everyone for supporting him and began crying as he walked off. Everything Dreamer said was 100% true, not storyline, including Impact offering to let him skip this weekend to be with his mother. We wish him the best.
Last Rites Match: Eddie Edwards with Alisha Edwards vs. PCO
Alisha came out with Eddie and went to the back. They brawled all over the ring and ringside. PCO was worked over in the ring but kept fighting back. Eddie kicked away a PCO charge but was again slammed. PCO nailed a legdrop to the back of the neck. He nailed a swanton off the ropes onto Edwards, who was draped on the apron outside. They are now calling it the DeAnimator. Someone is a Reanimator fan! PCO attempted to place Edwards inside a coffin but was smashed into it, 'dislocating' his shoulder. Edwards nailed him with a Tiger Driver for a two count. PCO used the ring post to smash his shoulder back into place. Think Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
PCO took off his ring gear and challenged Edwards to bring it. They chopped each other back and forth. Edwards nailed a Bucklebomb but PCO fired back up. The crowd chanted for PCO, who nailed a reverse DDT. PCO nailed a moonsault. PCO dragged hm to the outside and chokeslammed him onto the edge of the rampway leading to the ring. PCO slammed him into the coffin over and over. Edwards fought back and PCO was knocked off the ramp the floor, which looked brutal. Edwards opened the coffin and tried to place PCO inside. They battled back towards the entrance stage.
Edwards nailed PCO with a Singapor Cane and gave him a Dragon suplex on the ramp. PCO was drilled with the Boston Knee Party into the casket. PCO was placed into the casket but fought his way back out. Alisha Edwards ran out and nailed him with a shovel to no effect. Eddie went to superkick PCO but hit his wife instead. PCO nailed him with the shovel and chokeslammed him into the casket, then closed it.
Your winner, PCO!
They went to an interview with X-Division Champ Trey Miguel but had technical issues. They went to a video feature on the bout.
Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion Trey Miguel vs. Speedball Mike Bailey vs. Jonathan Gresham.
They showed all of Anthem's top executives at ringside. I predict they won't be catching any dives tonight.
Lots of good, athletic, fast-paced action early on. Bailey and Gresham battled but then double-teamed Trey, only to turn back into their own battle again. Gresham nailed a nice dropkick and a series of German suplexes on Trey before hitting a Michinoku Driver for a two count. Gresham went for a move but Speedball slipped off and nailed a Poisonrana, driving him head-first into the mat. Trey and Bailey were sent to the floor. They fought back to the apron but Trey went back to the floor, realizing Gresham was going for a move. Bailey avoided and Gresham dove on Miguel. Bailey hit a big moonault to the floor. Trey came back with a leaping springboard cutter on Gresham.
Gresham was locked in a figure four. Miguel nailed a Meteora and pinned Gresham while was still interlocked in the figure four. Gresham eliminated.
Speedball and Miguel battled back and forth. Miguel locked Bailey in the figure four and tried to chop away at him but Bailey pulled him to the ropes and forced a break. Bailey, now limping, faced off with Trey as they exchanged chops. Bailey looked great with some offensive maneuvers and scored several two counts. Lots of kicks and strikes. Bailey nailed the Tornado Kick and went for Ultimate Weapon but Miguel avoided it. Bailey rolled through but was sent to the floor. Trey went for a sunset flip powerbomb to the floor but Bailey nailed him with a double knee strike.
Bailey missed Ultimate Weapon off the top, hurting his knee again. They scrambled for a series of near falls but Miguel hooked the tights and scored the three count.
Your winner and still Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion, Trey Miguel!
HARDCORE WAR: Team Tommy Dreamer vs. Team Bully Ray
They are effectively doing Wargames entrances and rules, without a steel cage.
Moose and Kazarian are starting. Kazarian attacked him with a trash can. Moose fought back but was sent to the floor, where Kazarian did a leap into a rana to the floor. They battled on the floor with Kaz sending Moose into the ring post face-first.
The second man out for Team Bully is Brian Myers. He and Moose worked over Kazarian and pulled out a table. They set Kaz up for a double suplex out of the ring through the table but Gujjar was the second man out for Team Dreamer. He cleaned house and hit a flapjack on Myers. Kaz tossed him a cheese grater and he used it on Myers' face. Kaz nailed Moose with a trash can lid.
The next man out for Team Bully was Kenny King, who hit the ring with a trash can lid of his own and began battling with Gujjar. He had a nice exchange with Gujjar and wiped him out with kicks, then did the same with Kaz. Moose drilled Gujjar with a bottle of water. King bridged a table between the ring and the guard rail. The first woman to enter the fray was Dreamer's Killer Kelly. She went right after King and used a staple gun on him. Myers and Moose received the same. Moose got it in the nads! Kelly then stapled herself. Toronto chanted, "You sick f***."
Next out for Team Bully is Masha Slamovich. Everyone battled on the floor. Masha dove off the top with a chair, taking everyone out. The next person out for Team Dreamer was Yuya Uemura. He went right after Myers and nailed him with right hands and a dropkick. Team Dreamer controlled the ring and kept Team Bully from returning inside. The idea was they were keeping Bully's team out, leaving him with a 4 on 1 disadvantage.
Bully's time to enter came and he brought a table to the ring with him. When he stopped on the ramp, it distracted Team Dreamer, allowing the others to attack from behind. They were beaten down and Kelly was left in the ring. Bully menaced her but Dreamer was the last man out, attacking everyone with a Singapore Cane. Dreamer was left in the ring with Bully, who was holding Killer Kelly hostage. She bit him to get Bully to release the hold and Dreamer went to work with Cane shots.
Everyone battled. Masha and Kelly battled with chairs. There was a big multi-person submission, Kelly hit a DVDR through a chair on Masha. Kelly went to do a dive but Bully grabbed her and tossed her to the floor atop of several of the combatants. Dreamer and Bully battled. Moose accidentally speared Bully. Gujjar nailed the Gargoyle Spear on Brian. Killer Kelly locked on the Killer Klutch on King but Masha nailed a backfist and hit the Snowplow on Kelly for a two count. Masha drilled Kaz and hit the backfist on him. Dreamer piledrove Masha but the Good Hands hit the ring and attacked him.
They set up a ladder and grabbed Killer Kelly but she fought her way out. Kazarian nailed a cutter on John Skyler, sending him through two tables at ringside. Bully nailed Dreamer with a low blow and teased putting him through a table. He set up the ladder and told the referees to hold the ladder. They all refused. He grabbed one of them and all the referees began battering Bully. Dreamer nailed the Spicoli Driver for a two count.
Dreamer set Bully up on the table. He looked at the ladder and all the referees were happy to hold the ladder for him. Dreamer hit the Superfly Splash through the table and pinned Bully.
Your winners, Team Dreamer!
