TNA RETURNS - COMPLETE COVERAGE OF THE IMPACT WRESTLING BOUND FOR GLORY COVERAGE FROM CHICAGO

Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Trinity vs. Mickie James

This is their first-ever singles match.

Lots of really good action here with the two of them working a strong babyface vs. babyface match after big entrances and new ring gear for each.

James caught her with a tornado DDT but Trinity got her shoulder up.  Trinity went for the X-Factor but James avoided it and Trinity hurt her knee.  Trinity still fired back with some kicks.  She went outside for a move but James nailed her and used the ropes to drive her into the ring with a piledriver.  Trinity avoided the Mick-DT.  Trinity caught her with Starstruck in the center of the ring.  Mickie tried to fight out but was trapped and finally tapped.

Your winner and still Knockouts Champion Trinity!

This was really good.

Backstage, Moose declared he would challenge for the World title at Hard to Kill.

Impact Wrestling Champion Josh Alex Shelley vs. Josh Alexander.

You won't guess how this show ends.

Lots of back and forth wrestling as the two were feeling each other out and trying not to make a mistake.  Shelley gained control and manipulated his fingers and joints.  Alexander fired back and controlled Shelley on the mat but was backdropped over the top to the apron, where Shelley snapped him across the top rope.  Alexander went to the floor, where Shelley stomped his hand.

Alexander knocked Shelley to the floor and went for the C4 spike on the floor.  Shelley backdropped him to escape the move.  Shelley broke the referee's count, then returned to the floor and drilled the challenger into the ring post.  He worked over Alexander on the floor.   Alexander battles back and attacked the left knee, smashing it into the apron and using the old Bret Hart ring post leglock.    Back in the ring, Shelley used an enziguiri aimed at the arm to stop Alexander's attacks and locked him in the Border City Stretch.  Alexander escaped but Shelley remained in control, locking on a straitjacket submission, continuing to work over his arm.

Alexander finally caught Shelley with overhead belly to belly suplex.   Shelley caught him and drilled Alexander's face into the buckles.  He set up for a snap German suplex and nailed it.  He went for Sliced Bread #2 but Alexander rolled through and nailed a German suplex with a bridge for a two count.  They battled to the floor.  Alexander went for a dive but was caught and drive into the barricade.  Shelley nailed Sliced Bread #2 on the floor.  Back in the ring, Shelley nailed a frog splash for a two count and then locked in a Border City Stretch.  Alexander fought out and cinched in an anklelock.

Alexander then attacked the hurt left knee and cinched in a kneebar.  Shelley began kicking away and kicked Alexander so hard, his head gear came off.  They fired back and forth with big strikes, elbows and kicks.  Alexander dropped Shelley with a right hand and went for a C4 spike but Shelley fought his way out.  He caught the challenger with Shellshock in the center of the ring.    He followed up with a superkick, knocking Josh's mouthguard out.  He nailed another Shellshock and scored the pin.

Your winner and still Impact Wrestling Champion, Alex Shelley!

Alexander showed him respect and wrapped the title belt around Shelley's waist.

Good main event.

They closed the show with a video featuring Impact Wrestling stars converging somewhere in the woods.  They have to go back to where it all started because pro wrestling needs a change.  It was then revealed that as of January 1st, Impact Wrestling is no more and TNA Wrestling returns.  No kidding.  I told you you wouldn't predict how the show ends.  I'll have a LOT more on THAT story shortly!

They went back to the venue live with fans chanting the TNA name.

Scott D'Amore was in the ring with all the talents from the video, declaring "We're back!"
