TheMalapertSmark - +1
➡️COMMENTS⬅️

(C) ... Enter Mike Santana...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: AJ Francis is gold man. I can't believe WWE let him go... I have a feeling that w/ his incredible performances in TNA, WWE will give him another chance... and as I wrote in my comments for the Trick / Santana angle, I think AJ Francis is gonna be the one to cost Santana this Tueday...
=====
(4) M By Elegance reveal ruined by TNA's newest signees...
👉Subplots:
(B) The Personal Concierge interrupts their promos, looking for Santino to complain about Ash being booked in a match, conflicting w/ her "Elegance Play Release"... (See Storyline #8)

(D) Ash cannot attend the reveal ceremony (See Storyline #8)...
(E) M By Elegance is introduced...

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Maggie Lee, ummm, idk, i dont think im buying her into the Elegance brand. I know Rehwoldt did his best to put it over but she aint that elegant. lmao... as for Harley and Myla, GREAT LOOKS the both of them, just gotta pick up the pace on the promos a tiny bit and theyll be golden...
=====

(C) Ali wins the match, and sends the Great Hands to attack Raj Sing post match...
(D) ...once again, Tasha objects to Ali's antics...
(E) ... but falls in line...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Why the hell was Raj not paying attention to the start of the match, w/ this being such a grudge match... that being said, Im very interested to see when the inevitable breakup of Tasha & Order 4 will take place, because Ali just turned into someone else on a dime after losing to Santana. This isn't what she signed up for, and logically, she needs to get outta this. The only thing is, they gotta do it at the most opportune time, to screw over Ali...
=====
(6) Robert Stone gets over on Santino w/ his own Special Enforcer and match rules in mixed tag...
👉Subplots:
(B) Arianna pulled strings and got Jimmy Corderas as the special ref for tonight... he will make sure it is down the middle...

(D) Tessa Blanchard cannot compete due to TMJ, will be replaced by Victoria Crawford...
(E) Stone introduces stipulations for tonight, 10 minutes time limit, Alisha Edwards as special enforcer to combat Jimmy Corderas, the Cobra is banned... Stone will take over as Director of Authority if Santino hits the Cobra...
(F) Jimmy Corderas ejects Tessa for interference, but Stone pushed Corderas into Santino, and Alisha counts the pin to give Stone & Crawford the victory over Santino & Arianna...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: I gotta say, Robert Stone is a pretty damn good heel. Really good work selling Santino's attacks, to the heat on the pre match stipulations, to stuffing his tights. lol... in the end, I think Santino will get over somehow...
=====
(7) International Title on the line...
👉Subplots:
(B) Tommy Dreamer motivates Steve Maclin to fight for all of us before the match...
(C) Steve Maclin defeats Matt Cardona to retain International title...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: solid booking for an impact main event... so far, Maclin is doing pretty a pretty nice job giving that belt some solid midcard legitimacy...
=====
(8) Lei Ying Li defeats Ash By Elegance..
👉Subplots:
(B) Masha comes out after the match to congratulate Li, and stare down her next challenger...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Ash by Elegance with the martial arts criticism was pretty damn funny to me. Always get a kick out of her. At an outside glance I would think I wouldn't like such a gimmick, but the entire Elegance Brand really hits it out of the park for me... As for Masha & Lei Ying, pretty solid booking...
=====
(9) Mance & Steph De Lander Pick Up Win...
👉Subplots:
(A) ...over a jobber...
(B) ...and set sights on International title that they claim they never lost...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
TheMalapertSmark - +1
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Mance & Steph, wrestling's Prince & Princess... I GUESS!! Lol... I think this was a solid appearance, and them going after their title, is a good continuation of the Digital Media Title storyline... I kinda wish TNA could make up w/ PCO. Mance & Steph against PCO, now there's an idea!!..
=====
(10) Rosemary elated that Xia Brookside finally snapped on her... wants Xia to take the last step and let the darkness take over AT MONSTER'S BALL!!!!...
🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
TheMalapertSmark - +2
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: MANNNN. If Xia Brookside is down, then ok. It's a wild idea in theory, but i kinda don't like the idea of sweet little Xia Brookside getting sliced up in a MONSTER'S BALL... but ok...
=====
(10) Moose down to give EY an X-Division title shot after EY pinned Moose this past Friday...
👉Subplots:
(A) Moose & EY have faced off for the world title before...
