This segment will fill you in on the most important parts of the show worth checking out or keeping up to date with, in case you missed this episode of Impact Wrestling.
Without further ado, let's inspect the biggest takeaways of the week!
TNA IMPACT WRESTLING: OCTOBER 10, 2024 RESULTS
#5 - Anddd We’re Back!
Starting off this week’s episode of Impact was a fun trios tag in the Knockouts division, seeing recent allies Rosemary and Wendy Choo of NXT team up with Tasha Steelz to take on Jordynne Grace, Masha Slamovich, and Sol Ruca, also of NXT.
After a week off due to Hurricane Helene, this was the type of easy to like, fast-paced match this week needed to start with. Grace and Choo got right back into it early on, Ruca got her chance to shine at various points, and all three heels, as well as Alisha Edwards accompanying Steelz, played their part wonderfully. It’s a shame Choo isn’t signed to TNA, because her in the mix full time, able to really let go and wrestle, would be an absolute delight. The Juggernaut Driver would win this one for the faces, all of whom got big reactions from the crowd.
#4 - Fish Clash
The world title match for Bound for Glory is set, and it’ll be Nic Nemeth Vs Joe Hendry. The two shared some respectful jabs in the ring this week, both men expressing admiration for each other, but still wholly confident in their own victory come October 26th. They would be interrupted by First Class who, after running their usual self-promo schtick, would be challenged to a tag match by Nemeth against he and Hendry, a match Santino Marella would come out and make official.
In the main event, Nemeth would fight from underneath for the majority, before a Hendry hot tag managed to turn the tide. The pin and the win belonged to Nemeth however, who, after being tagged back in, would hit Hendry’s standing Ovation on KC Navarro before nailing the Famouser for the 3.
#3 - Finally
Mike Santana has been denied access to Moose for a while, ever since Moose had JDC attack Santana whilst he still held the World title. With JDC dealt with in a Texas Death match, Santana set his sights on Moose this week, calling him out. Moose, with “security” in front of him, answered Santana, saying if he’s going to fight, it needs to be on a big stage. Soon after, the System would attack Santana from behind, but coming to his aid were ABC and the Hardys.
From the resulting brawl, we got a Santino announcement that Moose vs Santana would officially happen at BFG. And since ABC and the Hardys were in the ring already, Santino decided their scheduled tag match would happen there and then.
#2 - Plot Twist
It’s clear to anyone that the Hardys are not in the physical condition they once were. Time waits for no man, and it is taking its toll on the two icons of wrestling. That isn’t to say, however, that they are past being able to put on a good match. Much of their current TNA run has been proof they still have “it,” and tonight’s match was no exception.
It helps that their opponents were one of the most exciting, most agile and innovative teams of this generation. ABC never stop being fun to watch, and them against the Hardys felt like it deserved the “generational clash” moniker bestowed upon it by commentary. Unfortunately, the match would end when the System re-emerged, attacking both teams, wanting to face neither at BFG. Once again, however, Santino would come out, making a match with all three teams for the tag titles at BFG official.
#1 - NA (Not Narcotics Anonymous)
The Northern Armoury is the name bestowed upon the nee alliance of Sinner and Saint and Josh Alexander, and the trio got off to a hot start this week. With Alexander facing Eric Young in singles action, as a result on the NA’s attack on Young and Steve Maclin eeeks prior, the first half of the match was definitely Alexander’s game.
It wasn’t until the second half of the match that EY managed to fight back and gain momentum, but all his effort would be for naught, as Sinner and Saint’s interference would cost Young the match. A post match beatdown would follow, and then a shot of Maclin, beaten and bound backstage, before Alexander Pillmanised Young’s ankle with a knee drop off the top. This round, just as the last, goes to the Northern Armoury.
