TNA Impact

-Commentators:  Mike Tenay & Taz.
-Bully Ray d. Joseph Park in an anything-goes match after knocking him out with a chain.  After the match, Park saw his own blood and got a wild look in his eyes...then hit Ray with a Blackhole Slam.
-Bound For Glory Series:  Rob Van Dam d. Samoa Joe by countering a spinning toehold into a small package for the flash pin.
-X-Division Champion Shiima Xion d. Dakota Darsow(non-title) after a Gory Bomb.
-Brooke Tessmacher d. Gail Kim after a Macho Elbow to retain the Women's Title.
-Bound For Glory Series:  Kurt Angle d. Ken Anderson after the second Olympic Slam of the match.
-The show closed with Sting calling out the masked men who jumped him a few weeks ago...he had talked to General Manager Hulk Hogan about backing him up, but the "Aces & Eights" jumped Hulk backstage in his office.  Sting tried to go back and help but was attacked by the masked men in the aisleway...last time there were only three, but this time there were around six or seven guys...

WWE NXT6

Commentators:  Byron Saxton, S. William Regal, & Jim Ross.  Ring announcer:  Chris Russo.

Tyson Kidd vs. Donny Camacho(w/ Hunico):  This match stems from last week's six-man tag...plus Kidd's had a few matchups with Hunico in the recent past.  It's a clear battle of speed and finesse against brute force...Kidd gets the upper hand in the early stages of the contest, but nearly gets surrounded on the floor.  That leads to the referee ejecting Hunico from ringside in a pre-emptive move...Kidd takes matters into his own hands by flattening both opponents with a somersault plancha!

Camacho stalls on the floor, then blocks a kick attempt from the apron and yanks Kidd down onto the edge of the ring face-first...ow.  Camacho slows the pace and keeps Kidd down on the mat...but takes too long going to the second rope and the legdrop hits nothing but mat.  Cue the educated feet...Kidd chokes Camacho on the bottom rope and then hits an inside-out slingshot legdrop.  Kidd goes to the third floor but Camacho cuts him off...double-underhook superplex!  Camacho is slow to cover...and gets two.  Kidd gets off a few more kicks and climbs the ropes again...and he hits the Buff Blockbuster!  Cover...foot on the rope.  Sharpshooter is teased but Michael McGillicutty runs out to provide a distraction.  That's enough of an opportunity for Camacho to capitalize...KICK WHAM DDT and Camacho gets the tainted victory.

Backstage, Matt Striker interviews Justin Gabriel...now that he's recovered from his injury, he's looking for gold.  He faces Heath Slater in next week's main event...and here's Gabriel's former partner for a counterpoint.

Aiden English vs. Bray Wyatt:  English gets an entrance!  Wyatt enlightens the unwashed masses during his own intro...don't see this match being too competitive.  Wyatt destroys English at ringside, then avalanches him in the corner.  Wyatt dances around with the dazed English, then kisses him on the forehead before finishing him off with the Rapture(Wave Of The Future).

Seth Rollins welcomes us to the Blackout.

Briley Pierce still works here and he does a backstage interview with Richie Steamboat...but Leo Kruger interrupts the segment.  Shoving ensues and they fight, leading to the referee brigade arriving to restore order.

Coming next week to NXT6:  Raquel Diaz, daughter of Eddy & Vickie Guerrero.  She's on an "Exfoliating Ugliness Tour", apparently...

Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. The Prime Time Players(Titus O'Neil & Darren Young, w/o Abraham Washington):  J.R. joins Saxton & Regal for the main event.  Titus gives Darren a quick pre-match afro-picking...of course, Jey quickly attempts to mess with Young's hair to tick him off.  Titus makes the mistake of ramming Jimmy's head into the turnbuckles and then headbutting him...you don't do that to a Samoan.  The Usos gains an advantage and then try out Young's afro pick...not quite the same effect.  Young charges the ring only to get clotheslined right back out by Jey...then Jey backdrops Jimmy over the top rope onto both Prime Time Players!

The Usos keep on rolling, but the numbers finally catch up to Jey and O'Neil takes out his leg.  Jey kicks Young to the floor, but Young yanks Jimmy off the apron to prevent Jey from making the tag.  Jey still gets a quick rollup for a near-fall only to get dropkicked in the knee by Young.  Titus tries to drop Young onto Jey with a gourdbuster but Jey gets the feet up to block...then Jey backdrops Titus and finally makes the tag to Jimmy!  Jimmy rallies against Young and throws him into Titus before hitting the Samoan Drop...then the Umaga Smash!  Cover...Titus saves.  Jey pulls O'Neil to the floor but Titus goes back to Jey's leg and throws him in the ring.  The referee gets occupied with Jey's situation, allowing Titus to attack Jimmy from behind.  One Demolition Decapitation later, Young pins Jimmy for the three-count.

WWE Raw

-Commentators:  Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole
-World Champion Sheamus O'Shaunessy d. Jack Swagger(non-title) via Brogue Kick.  Alberto Del Rio(w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) threatened Sheamus from the Titantron.
-Dolph Ziggler & Lord Tensai(w/ Vickie Guerrero & Adeshi Sakamoto) d. Intercontinental Champion Christian Cage & Tyson Kidd when Tensai pinned Christian after an avalanche and senton.
-Brodus Clay(w/ Funkadactyls) d. Drew McIntyre with the big splash.
-John Cena & Kane d. The Big Show & Chris Jericho by DQ when Show pulled Cena off a pin attempt after an F-U on Jericho.  Show attacked Kane and Jericho with a ladder after the match, but Cena cleared Show out of the ring with another ladder.
-World Title Money-In-The-Bank Qualifying Match:  Sin Cara d. Heath Slater with La Mistica v2.0.  Heath called out any former champion after the match and got Bob Backlund who caught him in the cross-face chicken wing.
-Michael Cole d. Jerry Lawler by reversed decision; Lawler initially won via airplane spin, but the anonymous Raw General Manager(in charge for the night) overturned the finish since Booker T(doing commentary with Josh Mathews) threw Cole back in the ring when he tried to run away.  U.S. Champion Santino Marella revealed the true identity of the GM:  Hornswoggle, who had been hiding under the ring and sending the e-mails.
-WWE Champion C.M. Punk & A.J. Lee d. Daniel Bryan & Eve Torres; Bryan dropped off the apron when Eve went for a tag at one point, allowing A.J. to get the rollup pin.  Punk politely declined A.J.'s marriage proposal from earlier in the night(long story), saying he was being honest about his feelings unlike Bryan.  A.J. slapped him...but also slapped Bryan before skipping away from the ring.

NWA Anarchy TV #336

-Commentators:  Tim E.D., John Johnson, and Bret Wolverton.
-Brandon Parker d. Dustin Knight with a backpack Stunner.
-Commissioner Brodie Ray Chase met with the referees backstage...see, Brent Wiley made a controversial call last week in the Heavyweight Title match.  In a totally unrelated move(suuuuure), Chase said he was changing the official assignment for tonight's Tag Title match from Wiley to senior official Dee Byers.
-Bobby Moore, Tommy Daniels, & C.B. Gibson d. Billy Buck, Skirra Corvus, & Jacob Ashworth; Gibson pinned Ashworth when Daniels tripped Ashworth during a re-entry suplex and held his foot as Gibson fell on top for the pin.
-Tim E.D. interviewed Young Lions' Champion Anthony Henry but was interrupted by Adrian Hawkins...Hawkins vowed to upstage the champion in his match next week.
-Kyle Matthews d. Corey Hollis via small package.
-Jeff G. Bailey(w/ Jerry Palmer, Tag Team Champion Se7en, & Jacoby Boykins) enlightens us.  He's upset about the injustice from last week as the Hate Junkies and Brodie Ray Chase both blatantly interfered in Shaun Tempers' Heavyweight Title match.  On top of that, Brodie called in another referee to count the fall...but original official Brent Wiley called it right down the middle and made the correct decision to disqualify Slim J.  Now Brodie is bullying the officials and hand-picked the ref for tonight's main event...but the NWA Elite will stand tall.  I guess Bryan Cassanova is indisposed...Jacoby has recently been defending a lot of belts that he doesn't hold.  Palmer has a challenge for Brodie Ray Chase next week...
-The NWA Elite(Se7en & Jacoby Boykins)(w/ Jeff G. Bailey & Jerry Palmer) d. The Hate Junkies(Dany Only & Stryknyn)(w/ Dan Wilson) by DQ to retain the Tag Team Titles; Stryknyn accidentally kicked referee Dee Byers, but then Se7en pump-kicked Boykins by mistake.  The Junkies hit the lariat/spear combo on Boykins and Stryknyn covered Boykins...Brent Wiley ran into the ring, but checked on Byers instead of counting the fall.  After that, Wiley called for the bell and disqualified the Junkies for striking an official.

TNA Destination X

-X-Division Title Tournament:  Mason Andrews won a four-corner match with Rubix, Dakota Darsow, and Lars Only when he pinned Only after the Ace Of Spades(TKO).

-X-Division Title Tournament:  Sonjay Dutt d. Rashad Cameron via moonsault double-stomp.
-X-Division Title Tournament:  Shiima Xion d. Flip Casanova with a modified Gory Bomb.
-Bound For Glory Series:  Samoa Joe d. Kurt Angle with the Kokita Clutch.
-A.J. Styles d. Tag Team Champion Christopher Daniels in a last-man-standing match after a Styles Clash off the entrance ramp and through a table.

ROH + SICW

ROH TV

-Kevin Steen(w/ Jimmy Jacobs & Steve Corino) d. Eddie Edwards with the F-Cinq to retain the Heavyweight Title.
-Next week:  Roderick Strong vs. Jay Lethal vs. Tommaso Ciampa for the T.V. Title plus Fit Finlay vs. Michael Elgin.

SICW Wrestling Explosion

-Commentator:  Larry Matysik.
-Chris Hargas & Sean Vincent d. Ron Powers & The Big Texan(w/ Waco) by DQ; Vincent was a mid-match substitute for Bobby D.  Powers destroyed D at ringside and piledrove him on the timekeeper's table, leaving him injured and unable to continue...but promoter Herb Simmons allowed Vincent to join the match.  Powers & Texan threw their opponents over the top rope and got disqualified, but Hargas & Vincent ran them off with chairs after the match.
-Flashback to 1982:  Dick The Bruiser d. Ray Hernandez after two big stomps off the second turnbuckle.
