TNA spoilers: NFL guests, GFW title match
Filmed Thursday, April 20:
-
Mahabali Shera def. Jon Bolen; after the match, KM attacks Shera (taped for their online/international show
Xplosion)
- Jeremy Borash announces someone is debuting on Friday who hasn’t been seen in the company since
Victory Road 2005 (since we’re already in a spoiler post, I’ll tell you rumor has it JB meant 2004 and the returning wrestler is Matt Sydal, aka Evan Bourne - we’ll let you know tonight or tomorrow)
- Promo time with Ethan Carter III. He says he carried this company on his back for three years, and when Bruce Prichard told him to look in the mirror - he saw a demi-god. EC3 vows to not be pushed aside by anyone being brought into the company by new management, and tells the fans to kiss his ass. He vows to become World champ again at
Slammiversary.
- James Storm joins Carter in the ring, and lets him know he doesn’t blame him for attacking him during his title match with Lashley, because he knows Ethan is jealous. Storm talks about having been with Impact since day one, and losing his spot because he gave new guys a chance. The Cowboy wants a fight, commenting that EC3’s family isn’t there to protect him any more. Carter refuses, but of course they end up brawling. When a low blow helps him get the better of Storm, EC3 tells him and the crowd, “I am a Carter… and this company needs me!” on his way out.

Christina Von Eerie def. Ava Storie to retain Global Force Wrestling (GFW) Women’s Championship. Live reports indicate Storie may have been legit injured in the match. Trainers checked on her for a while before helping her to the back.
- Moose faced Davey Richards for the Grand Championship, but the result wasn’t clear. It went to the judges after Davey looked to get the best of at least two of the three rounds, but Eddie Edwards ran in to go after Richards and Moose brought out his NFL friends -
