⭐️Kayhan: “Expected a bit of an overbooked match here. How could they go through this whole match and not have Tasha come out and try to help Alisha in a NO DQ match?! She came out after it was over! Even if Jordynne Grace would have come out to thwart Tasha, it still would have made more sense to try. ‘Cause there is no universe where Alisha can beat Masha in a fight. So I got logical issues but I think the match was worked pretty well.”

⭐️Kayhan: “A low blow becoming Trent Seven’s gimmick is pretty damn hilarious to me. Protect that move!😆 That was the only thing I liked about this. I’m not a big fan of the idea of the Hardyz and Ace Austin against the Rascalz and Kushida out of no where. I’m hoping these 3 heels will get involved and fuck up that worthless match at Turning Point!”

3) Tag Team Round Robin Between Spitfire and Ash & Heather Continues: Ash By Elegance Picks Up Second Straight One-on-One Victory Over Spitfire, This Time Defeating Jody Threat, Of Course With Help From Heather and the Concierge

TWO SEGMENTS (8:59)

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I was liking the incessant nonstop cheating. It would have been nice if Dani was a little less blind to the interference and tried to help out Jody… Also, I have mentioned how I think the idea of pitting two tag teams together in round robin singles matches is a unique way to find challengers for the title. Ash has 2 wins now and Heather lost her match. If Heather beats Dani Luna then Ash and Heather SURELY deserve a title shot. But I would say even if the series ends up 2-2 that Ash and Heather would still deserve a shot.”

4) Santana In Ring Promo Interrupted By Another World Title Hopeful, Kazarian… The Two Trade Insults

ONE SEGMENT (7:41)

-In Ring Segment: Mike Santana promo... enter Kazarian

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Weird how they went to commercial during Santana’s promo, but he probably was going on with the same schtic about thinking he would never get of the streets and yada yada yada.🙄 So i didn’t mind missing the promo. Also the fact that Kazarian came out, two potential challengers for the world title, made this interesting. The match for Turning Point should be interesting but I expect Santana to win… Santana sure punked out Kazarian with the insults. Kazarian was kind to put Santana over here.”

=====

5) Kazarian Uses Ring Ropes For Leverage To Defeat Rhino, But Gets Gored Post Match

THREE SEGMENTS (12:53)

-In Ring Segment: Mike Santana promo... enter Kazarian

-Match: Kazarian vs Rhino... winner: Kazarian by pinfall

-Post Match Afterbirth: ...Rhino gores Kazarian

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Good that they can still get a match out of Rhino in 2024 but it’s a struggle to watch. I’m a big fan of heels cheating in wrestling but I can’t say I got a big kick out of this. At least they got through the match and killed some air time… I honestly wonder why Rhino still needs to be wrestling at this point. I hope he’s doing all right.”

6) A Deep Dark Look Inside Steve Maclin’s Mental Struggles

ONE SEGMENT (6:23)

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Strong cinematic video. Of course there’s logical problems of how this video even exists. But irregardless if that, I think it made a lot of sense with regards to how I’ve had trouble making sense of Steve Maclin lately. HE CANT EVEN MAKE SENSE OF HIMSELF!!”

=====

7) Leon Slater & Laredo Kid Get the Tag Team Victory Over Moose & the System.. Leon Slater Attacked Post Match As System Cannot Accept Loss... Laredo Kid Wields a Steel Chair To Get One Over on the System… Moose Set To Defend X-Division Title Against Loredo Kid at Turning Point Next Friday

TWO SEGMENTS (11:42)

-Match: Leon Slater & Laredo Kid vs Moose & JDC... winners: Slater & Laredo Kid... Slater pinned JDC

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I kind of expected more from Moose’s X-Division championship run than a slapped together tag match against some X-Division guys. And the way they announced Moose against Laredo Kid wasn’t very exciting to me. I think we coulda used with a Moose promo putting himself over before the match.”

=====

8) Joe Hendry Talks Continuing Quest To Become TNA World Champion as Well As Potential Humiliation Of Losing Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl Match at Turning Point Next Friday

ONE SEGMENT (3:20)

-In Arena Segment on Entrance Ramp: Joe Hendry promo

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Man they sure have strayed pretty far from us learning about if Nic Nemeth and JBL are in cahoots. Now they got Joe Hendry in this silly Turkey bowl match. Why isn’t Hendry fighting for the world title at the PPV? Why the heck does Eddie Edwards get a shot?… also Joe Hendry catchphrases are kind of simple. I’m not a big fan of this promo. At least the Ryan Nemeth one was funny”

=====

9) Nic Nemeth Cuts Promo, Mentions Continuing Threat of Joe Hendry Coming After His World Title But Focused More on Upcoming Title Defense Against the System’s Eddie Edwards Next Friday at Turning Point

ONE SEGMENT (1:22)

-Backstage Segment: Nic Nemeth promo

⭐️Kayhan: “Never the most charismatic guy but he recited all his lines so I won’t give him a 👎.”

=====

10) Savannah Evans Picks Up Victory In Return Match

TWO SEGMENTS (3:55)

-Replay: Savanna attacking Lei Ying Lee 2 weeks ago on iMPACT

-Match: Savannah Evans vs Brittany Jade

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Brittany Jade took some cool looking moves. This looked pretty solid. I could have liked this more if Lei Ying Lee came out to get revenge on Savannah for attacking her out of no where. I suspect that will happen at some point. Savannah literally took Lee’s spot on the card. This is where Lee would have had a match. So this needs to go down!”

=====

11) Masha Slamovich & Jordynne Grace Want To Put Any Doubts Over Who’s Best To Rest… Agree To 2 out of 3 Falls Match For Turning Point Knockout’s Title Rematch

ONE SEGMENT (1:00)

-Backstage Segment: Jordynne Grace, Masha Slamovich

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Should be another solid match. Not very exciting how they announced this. And the promos are not charismatic from these two. They’re not about promos. They got a great look and they work well in the ring. So let’s see who goes over. I could see it going either way.”
