⭐️Kayhan: Funny that Rosemary is more upset about Xia Brookside not going to the dark place than actually getting revenge on Fatal Influence…
(2) Eric Young cuts promo ahead of tonight’s International title match against Steve Maclin…
(3) JDC can’t make it tonight…
👉Subplots:
(A) Moose to pull double duty and fill in for JDC tonight…
TheMalapertSmark SubPlot Review: 👍
(B) Cody Deaner offers to help, since he needs to prove himself to get resigned, but the System call him a loser…
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan:
(A) Nice. love it when the homies are down to pick up the slack out of love… 😄
(B) i’ve been a Huuuuuge Cody Deaner fan, but i feel the way he’s going about the “trying to get a new contract” angle has been a little hokey. so i’m not giving this as high a score as i usually do for deaner. plus, i don’t like the idea of deaner being a “bubble” guy, because he’s got the biggest pops and is freakin over as hell for his personality.
Details:
-Match: Elijah vs Shane Haste…
Winner: Elijah…
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: you know, the problem with Elijah’s gimmick, unfortunately, is that he really can’t play guitar or sing. i’ve seen him a bit when he was in wwe. i didn’t follow wrestling too closely for all those years, but i kinda remember it being the same. i feel that’s probably why wwe let him go. i’m sorry man. i’m not some critic of music, but it’s not hard to see that this guys guitar work isn’t pleasing to the ears. and it’s sad because i’m sure the guy is up all night practicing. just move on dude. i’m sure it would help other aspects of your wrestling if you forgot the stupid guitar playing…
(5) Kazarian cuts a promo ahead of tonight’s world title shot…

⭐️Kayhan: Moose sending Alisha Edwards to climb for the title. 😆 nice one… that spot from slater was nuts!! and he didn’t win!! omg. i can’t believe he went thru with the finish. seems like it wasn’t quite what they were going for, but if they botched whatever they wanted to do, i’m sure they can turn it into some kinda angle… i will say that i think that bump from leon slater was too crazy. i know it’s tna tradition that one of the boys take a crazy bump…

⭐️Kayhan:
(A) 3 pros. well worked. i’m just kinda bummed that Kazarian’s title shot went down the drain like that. kind of unfair. i didn’t like his his Call Your Shot angle went down…
(B) this really made the show, imo. Trick Williams is a pretty damn big star for tna to bring in, and if it were me, i would have him win the tna world title and have Joe Hendry come down to nxt to chase it…

Winners: Elegance Brand… who retain Knockouts world tag titles…
-Post Match, The Personal Concierge was adamant in pointing out to Ash By Elegance how Maggie May helped, although Ash By Elegance seems to have noticed and is very pleased…
