TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle vs Bobby Lashley (c)
Kurt catches Lashley early with several German suplexes, then he goes for an ankle lock but Lashley rolls outside. Lashley gets back in and stomps Kurt a few times, then he shoulder tackles him and applies a wristlock. Kurt comes back with a diving clothesline, then he hits a few more German suplexes before attempting another ankle lock. Lashley fights out and hits a powerslam for two, then we get back to see Kurt hit an Angle Slam for two. Lashley comes back with a running elbow, then he hits a vertical suplex before calling for a spear.
Lashley connects, but Kurt is able to kick out, and Lsahley can’t believe it so he heads up top. Kurt charges at him but Lashley headbutts him and goes for a crossbody, but Kurt rolls away and pulls himself up in the corner. Kurt goes for a crossbody but Lashley catches him and rolls into an ankle lock, but Kurt gets to the ropes and Lashley breaks the hold. Kurt ducks a clothesline and hits another Angle Slam for two, but Lashley holds Kurt’s arm and rolls into a cross armlock, but Kurt counters with an ankle lock and pulls Lashley away from the ropes. Kurt grapevines the hold and Lashley tries to crawl to the ropes, but Kurt wrenches back on Lashley’s leg and eventually makes him tap out.
Winner and NEW TNA World Heavyweight Champion – Kurt Angle
BP: Really entertaining match here between two great athletes. I can’t say anything wrong about this one. Both guys looked great, plenty of offense and reversals, and no dirty finish. Can’t wait to see them fight again sometime down the road. Once again, Impact was a great show from top to bottom. TNA has been very good the past year or so, but this past month of Destination America shows have been loaded shows and really great.
