⭐️Kayhan: “This is one of those instances in wrestling of kicking the can down the road. No explanation for JBL helping Nemeth at BFG. Right when it was about to be addressed we get a completely random interruption from the System and they go off on some side mission. I don’t mind other things distracting and drawing out a program, but only if it’s gonna be good. This hasn’t been that great. What are they stringing us along for? It’s not like JBL & Nemeth are the freakin’ Bloodline. Just tell us what this is all about and move on to the next program! So I was not interested in the main event or Nemeth being angry with Hendry for nailing him by accident. Hendry is the one who should be angry at Nemeth for (possibly/probably) colluding with JBL! … But I will give a little kudos to Kazarian for dressing up as Joe Hendry for Halloween. The accent could use some work. But credit for trying something.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I will say that when they came back from break and the commentators revealed that Alisha had been busting the crowd’s balls the entire time, that amused the hell out of me. Liked that. Alisha’s annoying ass catchphrase is kinda growing on me, for some weird reason! But as for Tasha and Alisha against Masha and Jordynne, that sounds like a recipe for Masha and Jordynne to just get a win. But maybe they’ll surprise me next week?"

3) First Class Pick Up Big Tag Team Victory Over the Rascalz

ONE SEGMENT (9:46)

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Kind of surprising result. But I guess they want First Class to be a mainstay on this show for the foreseeable future so this is a nice win. I don’t have a problem with it. Since I’ve returned to watching TNA, AJ Francis has been pretty entertaining and I’ve actually thought his in ring work hasn’t been bad. So I’m fine with the booking here. But it’s also not a match I’m very interested in. Not to I think First Class is going to win the tag titles, but maybe they’ll get a title shot. ”

*4) Josh Alexander Walks Out On Makeshift Tag Team Partners the Good Hands, Wants No Part of Steve Maclin in 6-Man Tag

TWO SEGMENTS (10:13)

-Pre Match Promo: Josh Alexander W/ Hotch & Skylar

-Match: Alexander, Hotch & Skyar vs E Young, J Gresham & S Maclin... Winners: Young, Gresham & Maclin by pinfall

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I liked how they slipped in this very intense feud just as a simply booked match on iMPACT. Nice booking. Alexander teaming with the Good Hands for the day was pretty amusing. Alexander walking out on his team was pretty amusing and the right thing to do. Gave us a tease of a continuation with Maclin and that's it. That's pretty solid to me. Maclin needs to get Alexander back for tying him up at Bound For Glory."

*5) The System Interrupt Mike Bailey's Moment With Trent Seven... Bailey Confronts Moose, X-Division Title Match Teased

TWO SEGMENTS (2:19)

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “All right. I like this. Always interesting when an ‘X-Division’ type wrestler has a challenge from on of the heavyweights. I remember when Abyss tried his hand at the X-Division… I liked how this came about. Seemed natural. Moose’s line about erasing the results from BFG because ‘the System can never lose’ was a great line and a great way for them to just carry on and keep the heat. Bailey calling them out on their failure was pretty bad ass. Liked this.👍”

=====

6) Ash By Elegance Uses Help From Heather & the Personal Concierge to Defeat Dani Luna in Single Action

TWO SEGMENTS (9:47)

-Pre Match promo: The Personal Concierge introduces Ash

-Match: Luna (w/Threat) v Ash (w/Heather & Concierge)...interference from Heather & the Concierge... winner: Ash by pinfall

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Kinda weird that Jody was out there with Dani and Ash and her entourage still got over. I see that this was just a vehicle to get Ash and Heather a tag title shot. I rather liked the match. I liked Heather and the Consierge trying to figure ways to cheat and help Ash. I thought this was solid.”

7) Lei Ying Lee's Victory Marred By Attack From Returning Savannah Evans

*8) Santana To Go After TNA World Title Now That He Has Gone Through the System

ONE SEGMENT (1:36)

-Unknown Location: Santana promo

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Eh. I can’t say i loved the promo too much. With Santana being given free reign to say what he wants I kind of expect more. Better verbiage and more passion. But it wasn’t terrible and they got the point across. Santana’s trying to get at that TNA World Title. I think he deserves it based on character work but the in-ring work during that Moose match left me with a lot to be desired…”
