Results from the Sacrifice Pay-Per-View

World Tag Team Championship:
The World Tag Championship match started with Daniels and Magnus squaring off in the ring.  Magnus worked to keep things grounded but control was still passed between these two.  After, for the most part dominating Daniels, Magnus tagged in Joe who unleashed a series of offenses to break down Daniels to the point Kazarian felt it necessary to rescue him by pulling him out of the ring, at which point Joe went to work to make sure Kazarian would pay for it.  Joe brought in Magnus to face off with Kazarian to continue their domination, though Kazarian and Daniels were able to turn things in their favor due to their backhanded tactics.   Daniels and Kazarian were able to maintain their dominance for some time but Magnus was able to get the champs back into the game and get Joe in for the tag who unleashed another brutal offense on Kazarian and Daniels.  The back and forth continued as did the increasing intensity of the match but finally after a double team move Daniels managed to get the pin on Magnus and become the new World Tag Team Champions.  

Knockouts Championship:
There was obviously a lot of animosity between these two opponents and Gail Kim kicked off the match by getting straight to the point and let her know she means business, but Tessmacher was able to retaliate and show she wasn’t going down easy and was able to get in a near pin fall.   Gail Kim seemed to able to maintain dominance for some time with Tessmacher able to have short defensive spurts but not enough to turn things in her favor.   Gail Kim even managed to get in a few jabs at Tessmacher regarding her “assets”.    Tessmacher did start to get an edge up taking things to the top rope and giving Gail Kim an elbow that lead to a near pin fall.  Tessmacher was able to retain control of the match with her even able to implement Gail Kim’s own move on her, but Gail Kim was able to retain the Knockouts championship by using the ropes for extra leverage to get the three count.  

Television Championship:
This match started out fairly uneven from the start as Robbie E and Robbie T were both aiming to take out Devon.  Devon managed to maintain focus and was able to get rid of Robbie T to make things one on one, where he basically manhandled Robbie E.  Finally Robbie T stopped Devon and pulled him out of the ring.  After Robbie T took out Devon Robbie E started on Devon and every time Devon fought back Robbie T would stop then Robbie E would step in and try for the pin.   Finally Devon was able to temporarily stop their offense but Robbie T managed to almost take out Devon and get a near pin fall that was actually stopped by Robbie E, which led to an argument between Robbie E and Robbie T.  This distracted the two enough to allow Devon to get the pin on Robbie T.   After the match Robbie T, still obviously upset with Robbie E stared him down but ultimately led to a joking noogie.

Mr. Anderson vs. Jeff Hardy
Both men seemed to have a mutual respect for each other as they squared off in the ring.  Neither seemed to want to make a mistake as the two seemed to be sizing each other off from the start locking up twice before things really started moving.   After some back and forth things made their way outside of the ring where Hardy was able to wear down Anderson some before bringing things back into the squared circle.  Hardy was able to get Anderson worn down enough to get a near pin fall as did Anderson who was able to pull out an offense to allow for a couple near pin falls himself.  For the most part the first part of the match was kept to the ground game with hits and submission moves and a general wearing down of the opponent’s body.   Anderson spent some time working on Hardy’s arm.  Seemingly out of nowhere Hardy was able give Anderson what looked like a mic check, which was able to slow Anderson down some.  Anderson, in return gave Hardy a twist of fate.  With both men trying the others finisher, neither was able to wear down their opponent enough to get the pin fall.  Finally, after blocking a hit by Jeff Hardy, Anderson was able to get the three count to pick up the victory over Hardy.  Though there was some controversy over whether or not Hardy lifted his shoulders up before the 3 count finished.  Following the match Hardy and Anderson showed signs of mutual respect to each other.  

Crimson Open Challenge
Crimson came out and put out another open challenge which it seemed as though nobody was going to answer but at the last minute Eric Young followed by ODB came out to answer the call and enter the open challenge.  Young immediately locked up with the referee but managed to actually get into the actual match and give a great showing with a great offensive blitz on Crimson.  Crimson was able to turn it around get started on Eric Young.  After ODB tried to take out ODB young gets fired up and strips down to his American flag underwear to tear apart Crimson.  However, after Young went to check on his wife, ODB, Crimson was able to take out Young and get the pin to continue his undefeated streak.  

Bully Ray vs. Austin Aries:
The two men face off in the ring with Ray talking smack on Aries and Aries taking his insults with ease.  Bully Ray seemed to try to avoid the match getting started which prompted the crowd to call him something other than Bully Ray.. that need not be repeated. . .  Finally Aries was able to get things moving but Ray was able to get his retaliation in and spit in his face.  The intensity of this match was way up as there seemed to be a lot of hatred between this two competitors, Aries even bit Ray’s calf at one point.   Aries took quite a fall from the top rope after Ray kicked him off.  Due to this, Aries was writhing in pain for some time and had giant welts on his back.  Aries’ resilience was amazing as no matter what Bully threw at him he would always get back up.   Bully seemed to display frustration at the fact that Aries always got back up even after Aries seemed to be finished.  Finally Bully wanted to pull out the stops and he went for his chain, Joseph Parks saw this and came to object which distracted Ray enough to allow Aries to capitalize and wear on Ray.   Aries was able to lift Bully into the air for a brain buster which seemed to be a for sure thing but Ray managed to kick out.  After it seemed all hope was gone, Aries put Ray into the Last Chancery to force Ray to submit and give Aries the amazing win after what was a very physical match.  

AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle
Styles went after Angle to try to match wrestling holds with AJ Styles, which forced Styles out of the ring.  Kurt started to taunt AJ pointing for him to shoot on his leg but AJ came back to the ring with a slightly different strategy.  The match went back and forth with explosive spurts you would expect to see in a match between Kurt Angle and AJ Styles.  AJ was able to stop Kurt’s momentum and take over dominance of the match resulting in a number of near pin falls.  Kurt ended up on the arena floor, Styles followed and nearly ended up on his head but was able to get out of it with grace.   This did not help AJ as Kurt regained dominance over AJ with little defense coming from Styles.  AJ Was able to find an opening and put Angle on the defensive allowing him to wear down Angle but not enough to get the pin after implementing his finishing Styles Clash.  The two went back and forth and both seemed to kick out of everything that was being thrown at them by their opponent.  Styles nearly lost it after interference form Kazarian and Daniels but ended up needing to tap out in the end with the ankle lock.  When the match ended Kazarian and Daniels went to beat down on Styles but was ultimately stopped by Kurt Angle who helped out Styles in the end showing a new side of the Gold Medalist than what he has been displaying as of late.

World Heavyweight Championship:
Bobby started things out, with the key to the match being to wear down the opponent.  RVD was able to wear down on Roode enough to attempt to bring the ladder into play but was stopped by Roode before he was able to get the ladder into the ring.  Roode also made an attempt to bring the ladder into play but was stopped by RVD.  The ladder was finally brought into the ring and was used as a weapon by Roode to wear down RVD, but before he could RVD turned it around on Roode and used it against him.   Use of the ladder went back and forth between RVD and Roode with both continuing two wear down on each other.   RVD brought into play a chair allowing him to further wear down on the champion and give RVD a chance to bring in another ladder and make an attempt for the belt.   However, Roode thwarted RVD’s attempt just in time and following this went to work on RVD.  The match continued to go back and forth and managed to get more violent as it progressed.  In a final push for Roode to get the title RVD was torn up and may have injured his leg, but in the end Roode was able to make it to the top and get the title to retain.

"When we did talk wrestling, I not only loved her passion and knowledge of it, but the fresh, creative ideas she would come up with.  She is very savvy. I asked if she would consider teaming up with me in this capacity while she also worked on her music, and I was thrilled when she said ‘yes.’  A big personality runs in her genes, obviously, and I know she is going to take an already exciting division of Impact Wrestling to another level."

Brooke is heading to New York next week for a media tour to promote her addition to the IMPACT WRESTLING team.  Brooke will also promote “IMPACT WRESTLING’s” move to 8 PM and that the series will telecast LIVE for the summer starting Thursday, May 31.   TNA's 10th anniversary SLAMMIVERSARY pay-per-view-event is set for June 10th in Dallas, Texas.

Former Light Heavyweight Champ to Fight for Bellator in 2013  And Join the Stars of TNA Wrestling This Summer

In an unprecedented move – one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts, “King Mo” Lawal, has signed a deal to compete in Spike TV’s two major sports properties, Bellator Fighting Championships and TNA’s IMPACT Wrestling. King Mo will join the stars of TNA this summer and resume his mixed martial arts career next year when Bellator Fighting Championships moves to Spike TV from its current television home, MTV2.  The deal was jointly announced today by Kevin Kay, President, Spike TV along with Bjorn Rebney, Chairman & CEO, Bellator Fighting Championships and Dixie Carter, President, TNA Entertainment.

“King Mo is an incredible athlete and a great addition to the Bellator family.  He immediately adds prominence and star-power to our light heavyweight division,” said Rebney.

“King Mo is the perfect athlete for this type of alliance.  He is the real deal in MMA, and his bold personality and world class wrestling accomplishments are unparalleled.  I’m confident he will have a major impact in both sports,” stated Carter.

Lawal (10-1-1) launched his mixed martial arts career in 2008, and after four straight wins, he faced off against his toughest challenge, renowned fighter Mark Kerr. King Mo knocked out Kerr in the first round, and eight months later he defeated Gegard Mousasi in a Light Heavyweight world title fight. Lawal also holds an impressive KO victory against multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Roger Gracie in September 2011.

“This deal is a dream come true for me,” Lawal said. “Bjorn and Dixie have given me the opportunity to engage in my two great loves, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling, at the same time.  And, to have it all on Spike TV is really Buttercream icing on a big ole cake – not that whipped cream stuff either!”

King Mo rose to grappling acclaim as a NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State University in 2003 and a three-time U.S. National Champion (2005, 2006, and 2008) in the 84 kilogram division.  In 2007, as a member of the U.S. National team, he brought home a gold medal at the Pan American Games and a silver medal at the World Cup.

A native of Murfreesboro, Tenn., Lawal lives in San Jose, Calif. and trains with the prominent American Kickboxing Academy.

Spike TV will rebroadcast the most recent episode of IMPACT WRESTLING from April 19 TONIGHT at 7pm.  Some viewers experienced technical difficulties this past Thursday, so Spike TV and TNA would like to make sure fans would not miss the action-packed episode.

On a "Champions Edition" of the Post Show, Bobby Roode has some choice words for Hulk Hogan regarding his announcement to have an open fight night! Devon stops in and has a differing opinion, completely willing to defend his title anytime and anywhere, though he did have some words for his ex-tag-team partner, Bully Ray, about facing him for a title bout. Gail Kim also seemed rather indifferent to the entire idea of having to defend her title anytime and seemed to not have a care in the world as she claims there is no real competition for her and she is the greatest Knockout.  Don West is back as well as he unveils the newest action item at wrestlingauctions.com

Results from the Lockdown Pay-Per-View

Lethal Lockdown Match:  
The stipulation of this match states that the team leader from the losing team will have to leave IMPACT WRESTLING.  The first two are unleashed in the cage until the next team member is introduced and from this point every two minutes another member from one team will be introduced into the match and a ref is not brought in to the match until all members have been introduced.  The match started with Gunner and Garett facing off in the ring.  After some back and forth Bully Ray entered and the two beat down on Garett who was already being dominated at the time by Gunner.  Austin Aries came in to even the score and help Garett.  Next Kazarian, sporting a new haircut was introduced into the match to give team Bischoff the advantage and allow them to dominate until AJ Styles was introduced, at which point he unleashed a counter offensive to even things up.   Christopher Daniels came in to once again to allow team Eric Bischoff to capitalize on the numbers advantage and wear down team Garett.  Thankfully help came in the form of Mr. Anderson to take away the advantage and allow for Team Garett to get back on their feet but it was short lived as team Garett was too worn down and Team Eric Bischoff continued to overwhelm them.   Next to enter was Eric Bischoff who immediately held his own son, Garett, down and allowed the team to unleash an onslaught of chops and kicks on him.  After Team Eric Bischoff dominating the final member of team Garett, Rob Van Dam, made his way in and was followed by the lowering of the cage roof that held weapons all while Eric Bischoff cowered in the corner.   With Eric Bischoff not being of much help it allowed for Team Garett to finally pick up the advantage.   After all of the members of Team Eric were taken out they focused their attention on Eric Bischoff but did not continue for long as Team Eric Bischoff came back into play.  The teams continued on their back and forth assault with brutal attacks with weapons and high risk moves.   It finally came down to all members being down except for Eric Bischoff and Garett.  Eric beatdown on Garett but after turning his back on Garett he was able to get to his feet and hit Eric over the head with a guitar and pick up the pin on Eric Bischoff.  This means that Eric Bischoff is no longer allowed in IMPACT WRESTLING.  

World Tag Team Championship:
Magnus and Shelley kicked things off and Shelley was able to get the upperhand to hand off to Sabin to come in but he was quickly forced to face off with Joe.  Joe was able to dominate for the most part.  The teams went back and forth with Joe and Magnus trying to limit the match to the ground and pound game and prevent the Guns from taking things high risk.   For what seemed to be the biggest majority of the match Magnus and Joe was able to limit it to the ground game and keep control of the match leading to a near pinfall.  The Guns however were able to get back into it, unleashing the Motorcity Machine Guns everyone is used to and turn it into a fairly even match.  However in the end Samoa Joe and Magnus were able to get the pinfall and retain the Tag Team Championships.

Television Championship:
Robbie E Started out the match in full force but Devon was able tot bring the power game to the match and gain the upper hand to work on Robbie E and get the pin to allow him to retain the Television Championship.   But his victory were short lived when Robbie T came into the ring to take out Devon from behind and Robbie E was able to get a few cheap shots in before leaving the cage.

Knockouts Championship:
Gail Kim took control of this match for the first part but it turned into a very competitive match with a lot of back and forth between these two eager competitors.  Gail Kim went to work on Velvets back but this didn’t stop Velvet as she was able to land a powerbomb from the top rope on Gail.  This was not enough as Gail was able to turn it around quickly by reversing a roll up from Velvet and get the three count on Velvet by grabbing her tights and retain the Knockouts Championship.

Ric Flair entered the ring to express his anger to Hulk Hogan over Eric Bischoff losing his job.  After a brief exchange Hogan laid out Flair and left the cage.  After Flair was able to get back up he tried to get Hogan to come back to the ring to fight but was unsuccessful in his attempt.

Matt Morgan Vs. Crimson
Crimson seemed apprehensive to start fighting in this match and as a result Morgan was able to get the upper hand fairly quickly.  Crimson finally got his head in the game and began to lay out Morgan blow by blow.  Crimson seemed to be on the path to victory but Morgan was able to turn things around on Crimson and pick up momentum from there.  After some time of back and forth, Crimson was able to make an attempt to leave the ring from crawling over the cage, Morgan was able to slow him down but it was not enough as Crimson was able to take out Morgan and crawl out of the cage to remain undefeated.

Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy
Kurt Angle dominated from the outset of the match though Hardy was finally able to get a few hits in after some time into the match, but Angle turned things around fairly quickly.  The match continued going back and forth and the match intensity continued to elevate and this led to Jeff Hardy getting his head split open.  Although Hardy was bleeding he was able to unleash an offensive on Angle and turn things around after a long period of being dominated by Kurt Angle.   Hardy made an attempt to crawl out of the cage but was stopped by Angle who unleashed an Angle Slam on him.   Shortly after Angle made an attempt to leave the match but was stopped by Hardy.   Hardy went for the door but was put into and Angle Ankle Lock, which was reversed by Hardy and put into an Ankle lock by Hardy.  The match continued for some back and forth but went into an epic ending with Jeff Hardy doing a Swonton bomb off the top of the cage leading into a pin for the win.

Knockouts Tag Team Championship.
ODB started the match with a vengeance as she went straight to work on Sarita and Rosita.   ODB Made sure that Eric stayed out of things, which he tried getting involved at one point counting a pin that didn’t even involve ODB.   When ODB made Eric leave it turned the favor towards Sarita and Rosita.  However, ODB was able to get things back and her favor and get the win to retain the Knockouts Tag Team Titles.

World Heavyweight Title Match
Storm couldn’t seem to wait for Roode to get into the ring and started the match outside of the cage immediately taking control of the match and setting the tone.   The two competitors went to war outside of the steel cage for some time at one point drawing blood on Storm before even getting into the ring to start the match.  After the match finally got underway Roode was in full control over a bleeding James Storm.   Finally Storm seemed to build up some power to fight back but control of the match quickly returned in favor of Bobby Roode for much of the match.  After hearing the crowd chanting for him, Storm seemed to have a fire ignite inside and Storm was able to gain full control of the match.  The two competitors continued to wear each other down with numerous pin and submission attempts.   Roode went to make an attempt to leave the cage which lead to the two pounding each other into the cage.  Storm passed on a chance to leave the cage after taking out Roode but instead went back to beat on Roode.  Storm attempted a superkick on Roode but instead hit the referee and allowed Roode to start beating on Storm.  Roode brought into play a beer bottle that he blasted over the head of Storm.  Storm was able to get back briefly into it and kicked Roode but kicked him through the door of the cage inadvertently giving Roode the win to retain the Championship.
