Manchester, England (Manchester Arena)
March 6, 2015
Commentators: Josh Matthews & Taz
Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
Impact opens up this week with highlights from last week and then the BDC come down to the ring. King gets on the microphone and says that the istuation with Drew Galloway has gotten out of hand. He says that Galloway is called “The Chosen One” and he chose to get in BDC business so now it is time for the BDC to do some choosing. He says they have to choose which piece of Galloway’s ass they are going to take from him first. King says you don’t mess with the BDC and you damn sure don’t mess with their money.
MVP asks Galloway if he has any idea what he has done or who he has done it too. He says he wants Galloway to think long and hard about what he has done. He says the World Title is serious BDC business and that his title shot was a year in the making for him just to be screwed over by Galloway. MVP says he isn’t an unreasonable man so he will give him one opportunity to explain his motivations and to make things right. MVP tells Galloway to take this moment while MVP is actually calm to come out and explain himself.
Galloway appears in the crowd and MVP says that Galloway has made himself Public Enemy #1 to the BDC but Galloway says he is at home right now. Galloway says that he stopped MVP from STEALING the World Title and he is surrounded by wrestling fans, not sports entertainment fans, and that if MVP wants to know why Galloway is in TNA it is simple. He says that he is there to speak up for those that have not been listened to and to stand up for wrestling and to give the fans a voice. Galloway says that MVP wasn’t just screwed with Lashley or Bobby Roode they are screwing the fans which means they are screwing with him. Galloway says that it is people like MVP that disgusts him in wrestling because they try to dictate what the fans see and who the champion is rather than allowing the fans to decide what they want to see and by what the guys in the ring do.
King says they didn’t come to flap gums and reminds Galloway that he hit Low-Ki with a pipe meaning they demand some retribution for that. King says that if Galloway doesn’t face one of the members of BDC to face tonight then they are going to take a trip to Galloway’s parents house and take it out on them. Galloway says if King wants to fight him then he’s got it! Galloway says that he doesn’t even need to put his wrestling gear on to kick King’s ass and says that if King sends his buddies to the back then he will fight him right now. King tells his boys to go the back so he can get some retribution on Galloway.

“King of the Night” Kenny King vs. “The Chosen One” Drew Galloway
King and Galloway are both wearing street clothes. This is Galloway’s in-ring debut with TNA. King attacks Galloway and the BDC run back out to ringside to cheer King on. King chokes Galloway in the corner and then whips him into the opposite corner but Galloway explodes out with a clothesline. Galloway hits a series of knees followed by a Snap Suplex. King slides out of the ring and Galloway follows him out. Galloway chops King on the back and then drops him down chest first across the guardrail. King manages to slow Galloway’s attack with a kick to the gut and then rakes the eyes of Drew. Galloway and King exchange some nasty chops until King rakes his eyes again. King runs at Galloway but runs right into a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker onto the ring apron! Galloway tosses King back into the ring and then Galloway and then sends him back onto the apron for something, but King manages to catch him with a Jawbreaker onto the top rope. King drags Galloway’s head onto the apron and hits an Undertaker style Guillotine Leg Drop on the apron for a nearfall. King puts Galloway in a rear chinlcok but Galloway fights it off and attempts a Mafia Kick only for King to catch him with a Cradle T-Bone Suplex! 1…2…NO Galloway kicks out! King taunts Galloway while slapping him repeatedly but it does nothing but fire Galloway up! Galloway lays into King with rights and lefts beating him down in the corner and then throws him clear across the ring.

Galloway goes for the Future Shock DDT but King blocks it and then hits the Springboard Blockbuster off the top for another nearfall!

Low-Ki and the rest of the BDC hit the ring and chase Galloway out as Galloway bails into the crowd.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Bobby Roode comes out and says that EY cost him his World Title and he even attempted to end Roode’s career, but Roode is stills standing and tonight he will become the #1 Contender again. Roode says there isn’t a man on this planet that is going to get in his way, but a certain Gold Medalist may have something to say about that as Angle interrupts him.
Angle asks Roode if he just said nothing is going to get in his way and says that HE will get in Roode’s way. Angle says he is going to regain the World Title and if Roode disagrees with that then they don’t have to wait until later! Angle walks towards the ring and Roode says that is fine with him but EY attacks Roode from behind!
Angle comes in and pulls EY off and gets in his face. EY tries to attack Angle but Angle saw it coming and starts throwing rights at him. Roode shoves Angle away and lays into EY with a right hand of his own. EY bails out of the ring and says he’ll wait until later as Angle and Roode stare each other down.
A vignette hypes up Taryn Terrell-Awesome Kong for later tonight.
In the back James Storm tries to recruit Bram but Bram says he is his own man and doesn’t need Matt. Storm tells Bram that he likes what Bram did to Magnus. Storm says there is always room for one more in The Revolution and that tonight they need for Bram to end Matt Hardy. Bram says he likes what Storm did to Jeff Hardy and seems to be thinking about Storm’s offer.
—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-
Destination America completely spoiled the Main Event for tonight airing a commercial for the March 20th Impact which will feature Angle vs. Lashley in a Last Man Standing Match for the title. Someone obviously screwed up.
A vignette covers the history of Kurt Angle in TNA.
Matt Hardy vs. Bram
Bram tries to attack Matt as he gets in the ring but Matt sidesteps him and lays into Bram with right hands.

Winner: Bram via pinfall (Brighter Side of Suffering)
Bram reaches under the ring and pulls out a spare turnbuckle corner but before he can use it Magnus hits the ring and jumps his former partner! Bram retreats as Magnus stands tall in the ring. Magnus says that he hopes Bram’s ears are still ringing from where Bram got bitch slapped by his girl. Magnus says when Bram left Magnus broke and bleeding he had two choices: 1) stay home and let his son see him as someone who quits or 2) he could stand up for himself like the rest of the Brits. Magnus says when he gets his hands on Bram it won’t be about money or titles but it will be personal. He says he will give Bram the beating his father should have a long time ago. Magnus says Bram’s blood will stain the hallowed ground of England.

A video package highlights the EC3/Spud rivalry.
Rockstar Spud comes down to the ring wearing a ridiculous suit covered in British flags. Spud says the past few months have been some of the worst months of his life and the only thing that has gotten him through it has been the fans. Spud says there comes a time when things have to come to an end so he is asking EC3 to come to the ring alone.
EC3 comes out and gets in Spud’s face. EC3 smirks at Spud and Spud says that he wants to fight EC3 fair and square one last time. He suggests a match with no friends, for either guy, around just one-on-one. EC3 says that people like Spud do not get to challenge people like EC3. He says that EC3 is a franchise that was born and bred to carry TNA into the future while Spud is just a little boy. EC3 starts to talk himself up until Spud screams at him to shut his mouth and Spud says that he knows who EC3 is and all of his accolades because he was there for all of it. Spud says he wants to be the one that ENDS EC3’s streak! EC3 says that if Spud wants a match then he has to give EC3 something he wants, Spud’s hair! EC3 says that when he beats Spud he gets to shave his head! Spud agrees but says that if EC3 is so confident then he should put his hair on the line as well! Spud says then he will not just embarrass EC3 but he will also end his streak all in the same night. EC3 agrees and then tells Spud to not forget that in his world the bad guys win. EC3 stars to leave but Spud stops him and asks EC3 if he remembers what he used to say to Spud to try and hype him up when he was scared. Spud says that the things that EC3 would say, that Spud is a lion and fierce, are untrue but he IS a man and he is going to shave EC3 bald!
A video package highlighting Eric Young’s career is shown.
