PURRAZZO VS. SHAW, MACHINE GUNS VS. ABC & MORE: COMPLETE IMPACT WRESTLING DOWN UNDER NIGHT TWO COVERAGE FROM AUSTRALIA

Slex vs. Eddie Edwards.

This is a first-time ever bout.  Edwards went right to the floor to play off the crowd chanting that he sucks.  Edwards had control early, drilling Slex with some right hands in the corner.  He sent Slex into the buckles and he evaded Edwards until drilling him with a big back elbow.  They battled to the floor.  Slex went for a dive but was nailed as he hit the ropes.  The story was that Edwards was controlling the pace of the match.

Edwards nailed an elevated slam onto the apron outside and soaked in the boos.  Edwards tossed Slex back in but he kicked out of a pinfall attempt. Edwards kept working him over.  Slex fought back with a series of forearms but Edwards caught him with a hard elbow for a two count.  Edwards tried to set up for the Die Hard Driver but Slex blocked.  They battled over a suplex, which Slex finally scoring the maneuver.

They battled back and forth.  Edwards nailed the Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count.  Slex came back with the Business Bomb, a spinning sit-out powerbomb for a two count.  Edwards went to the floor but was caught with a tornado DDT on the floor.  Edwards was dumped into the ring and hit a moonsault but kicked out at the last second.  The fans chanted "This is awesome."

Edward came back to nail the Proton Pack and finally scored the pin with the Boston Knee Party.

Your winner, Eddie Edwards!

A real good, hard-fought match.  Slex played the local babyface role really well.

They aired a promotional video for Wagga Wagga tourism.

Killer Kelly vs. Steph De Lander.

Steph ripped on having to be in Wagga Wagga again and declared that even though she lost last night, she's not a loser.  She proclaimed she was better than anyone in the audience, anyone watching at home or the creepy creep Killer Kelly.  Good, simple, effective heel promo.

They ended up fighting on the floor early and almost wiped out the camera person when Steph was whipped at the ring post.  Steph gained control with forearms in the corner.  Kelly kicked her away while on the top rope but was nailed and hit with a superplex for a two count.  Kelly was worked over for a long time, trying to make a comeback.  Steph nailed another suplex for a two count.

Kelly finally mounted a comeback and scored several two counts.  She elevated Steph for a DVDR but Steph evaded it.  Kelly was drilled with a kick to the ribs and was almost pinned.  Steph went for a suplex but was caught with a DDT for another two count.  Kelly grabbed the Killer Klutch but Steph got to her feet and drove them backwards into the buckles over and over.  Kelly held on but was finally pulled off.  Steph nailed a big powerbomb and scored the pin.

Your winner, Steph De Lander!

This was De Lander's first ever Impact win.  With her being home in Australia, it made sense to give her the win.  They worked hard.

Kazarian cut a promo saying he was supposed to wrestle Steve Maclin tonight.  He said that Maclin was injured against Alex Shelley last night.  There's the confirmation.  His rage and anger was focused on Eddie Edwards but Brian Myers is a tough, underrated wrestler.  He said Myers can go back to talking about toys tomorrow because tonight is about Frankie kicking his ass.

Brian Myers vs. Frankie Kazarian.

They started off slow, feeling the other out and playing to the crowd.  The locked up with each working over the other's arm.  Very slow, methodical style early as they worked on extremities and used a headlock.  Makes me wonder if they are going long.  Lots of really good back and forth old school style mat wrestling and reversals here.  Kazarian finally gained some momentum running Myers around the ring, slamming him into the buckles.

Kazarian catches him with a DDT for a two count.  Myers rolled to the apron outside but continues to take fire.    Myers finally snapped Kazarian over the ropes to halt the momentum.  Myer choked him against the ropes.   Myers worked over Kazarian for a long time, including stomping him in the corner.  Kazarian tried to fight from underneath but Myers sent him right back to the mat.  Myers cinched in rear chinlock.

Kazarian escapes and finally catches him with a big right but was then struck with a big enziguiri.  Myers scored several two counts.  Kazarian was caught with a DDT for a two count.  Myers went right back to the chinlock, but Kazarian nailed a big belly to back suplex.   Kazarian unloaded with a series of rights and an elbow.  He whipped Myers into the ropes and caught him with a clothesline.  Kazarian nailed a legdrop for a two count.

Myers was drilled with an elbow charging into the corner and nailed with a guillotine legdrop.  Kazarian drilled him with a DDT for a two count. Myers came back with a spear for a two count.  Real good back and forth action.  Myers went to the top rope but was caught by Kazarian.  They battled in the corner.  Kazarian was shoved down into the ring and drilled with a flying elbow for another close two count.  Kazarian used a crucific pinfall attempt for another two count.

Kazarian trapped Myers in the crossface chickenwing and forced him to submit.

Your winner, Kazarian!

A textbook wrestling match on how a bout should be built and executed.  These two are really great at all the little veteran tricks and this was super enjoyable.
