The following are TNA Impact Wrestling tapings results from the Manhattan Center in New York City, airing Thursday, August 14th. Thanks to Tom for the live report:
– Bully Ray comes to the ring. He cuts a promo and thanks the fan for helping him put Dixie Carter through a table. Devon joins Bully and Team 3D gets a big pop. They’re interrupted by Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. Matt Hardy said it was the first time they had all been in the same ring in over a decade. He congratulated them on their Hall of Fame induction. They cut promos. Bully said it sounds like the fans want one more match between the two teams and we’ve got Team 3D vs. The Hardys for later tonight. It will be a TLC match.
– Eric Young, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries vs. MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley is next. Lashley’s team gets the win after MVP knocked Aries off the top rope with one of his crutches. Lashley speared Aries for the win.
– Rhino, Rockstar Spud and Ethan Carter III come to the ring for a promo. Rhino is wearing flip-flops and Ethan has his head bandaged from the Thursday night injury. Spud is sporting a black eye it looks like. Kurt Angle interrupts them to a big pop. Angle has all three of them surrounded by officers from the New York City Police Department. They resist and get taken down by the cops and arrested. Apparently these were House of Hardcore students dressed as police. Angle had them arrested because they refused to wrestle.
– Mr. Anderson vs. Gunner is next, as a result of something that happened between the two on the 8/7 episode. The crowd gets bored during this match, chanting for John Cena and Rusev. They also sing Adam Rose’s theme song. The match ended when Shaw came out and attacked Anderson. Fans thanked Shaw for ending the match.
– The Wolves defeated Robbie E and Jessie Godderz.
– Abyss comes to the ring and calls out Bram and Magnus. Bram is still in possession of Janice. They announce a Hardcore Ladder Match between Bram and Abyss for “next week” which is the next set of tapings in August. Janice will be hanging above the ladder.
– Low Ki vs. Tigre Uno vs. Crazzy Steve vs. Homicide vs. DJ Zema Ion vs. Manik in an X Division Scramble match is next. This may be to crown a new #1 contender. There are two wrestlers in the ring at a time while the others wait in their own corner for a tag. The match came down to Homicide and Low Ki. Ki gets the win.
– Team 3D vs. The Hardys in a TLC match is next. This was described as an awesome match and the match of the night. Team 3D got the win. Both teams embraced after the match and celebrated together to end the show. Bully Ray called The Wolves to the ring for a promo. They may have been building to something between the teams at Bound For Glory.
