Impact Wrestling taped tonight at Manchester Arena as part of their Maximum Impact 7 tour. The building was partitioned across the middle with the upper tier closed.
The first match was taped for Explosion. Mark Andrews beat Dave Mastiff in 6-7 minutes with a shooting star splash. It was fine for what it was.
Impact opened with Matt Hardy and the Wolves beating The Revolution in a six man tag team match in about 10 minutes. Hardy wrestled most of it, Storm broke the tag up and the Wolves came in and attacked him, cleared the whole faction with a double topé and then Hardy hit a twist of fate for the pin.
Kurt Angle came out and called out world champion Bobby Lashley. Angle blames Lashley for doing nothing when he got screwed out of a title match. Lashley said that was Angle’s fight, not his. Angle says tonight when Lashley fights the BDC, Angle will return the favour and do … nothing. Speaking of the BDC, they come out after Angle leaves and Joe says Lashley is the one who sold out. MVP says Lashley has no help tonight and the show will end with him laid out and MVP as the new world champ.
Rockstar Spud and Mr Anderson beat Tyrus and Ethan Carter III in about 8 minutes. EC3 interfered at the end and as Earl Hebner tried to throw him out, Anderson drilled Tyrus with a low blow and a mic check. Spud pinned Tyrus and they celebrated in the ring.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
