Matt Hardy Returns To TNA To Reunite With Jeff Hardy At NYC Tapings

Matt Hardy

 

Matt Hardy is returning to TNA at the TNA Impact tapings in New York City. It will be the first time in 3 years since he has been inside a TNA ring, which is also the last time a match featuring The Hardy’s has been televised. The Hardy’s are one of the most recognizable tag teams of all time.

Ed’s Perspective: Random Thoughts

sting1-1766278

A few weeks into my return to DTRT Wrestling.com for the Wrestlemania season and I decided to just share some random thoughts on the business that I’ve loved for over 40 years now.

  • When I heard that the WWE Network was going to show NXT in the same time slot as Impact, I immediately flashed back to WWF vs WCW. Back when that was going on, I hated it because I wanted to watch both and I had to choose. I was a huge WCW fan, so they won out for me. Today with DVR’s that wouldn’t be a problem.
  • AJ Lee participated in a Q&A at the Wizard World New Orleans Comic Con earlier this week. Before she came out, the host told the crowd to please not ask any questions about a certain someone who may not be with the company. Read more at Wrestling Inc.com.
  • AJ Styles vs CM Punk. In my humble opinion, any Indy promotions willing to shell out the cash for that would more than recoup their investment if they held it in a place big enough to hold all the fans who want to see it. I even had a conversation with a couple of Indy performers who would love to see it happen.
  • Who is ready to see Roman Reigns turn babyface and get a huge singles push? Hint – this writer!!!
  • Is it just me or is MVP as the “Investor” a huge let down. Maybe it is just me, because the ratings the last two weeks have been very good.
  • Sting going to WWE after all these years – is it really going to happen or are they just messing with us?  If he comes in as the General Manager, will we see him in black with a ball bat???? Just sayin’.
  • Who would like to see Zeb Coulter pull out his bull whip and turn all Dirty Dutch Mantell on Jack Swagger? Talk about some Memphis old school.
  • Seeing The Great Muta at Lockdown would be worth the price of admission.
  • Please tell me that we are not stuck with Orton vs. Batista for the main event at Wrestlemania XXX. I’m hoping that since the Super Bowl of professional football sucked so badly that the WWE will do something for the fans of the Super Bowl of professional wrestling (H/T to Trevor for the Super Bowl of wrestling line. I’m gonna steal it every chance I get).
  • Just think if a new MAJOR promotion was in the works and would sign these Free Agents – Sting; AJ Styles; Jeff Hardy; CM Punk (yes I know he’s still under contract). Competition is good for the business, and it’s long been my hope that another major promotion would appear on the horizon.
  • Finally, who is ready to hear me “lay the smack down” on Vanessa’s “candy ass” when the new DTRT Wrestling format hits the air soon? IF YOU SMMMMEEEEELLLLLL What Ed is Cookin’. (See I know I’m already pissing her off with The Rock references).

TNA Recap: November 1 2012 – Another Aces & 8s Mask Comes Off

The show began with a memoriam for Brad Armstrong. It was Open Fight Night on Impact Wrestling. Joseph Park was in the ring. He said he was here for Open Fight Night but he is not a wrestler but an attorney. He said that he is a man that is going to stick up for himself. He said Hogan hasn’t gave him a match yet with Aces & 8s but he has found a loophole & it’s Open Fight Night. Park called out any member of Aces & 8s. 4 members of Aces & 8s came & surrounded the ring. Angle came down to help out & was jumped by Aces & 8s then Sting came with a bat & cleared the ring. Sting said somebody from Aces & 8s tonight is going to get their mask ripped off their face.

Magnus called out Samoa Joe for the Television Championship: Magnus vs Television Champ Samoa Joe, Samoa Joe wins by DQ because Magnus hit him with a wrench in front of the referee.

In Hogan’s office with Sting & Park, Kurt Angle storms in with Wes Briscoe & Garett Bischoff & said he wanted Devon tonight. Hogan said Bully Ray has got Devon tonight but that Angle can have Devon at Turning Point. Angle agreed & said he has backup & is ready to fight, Sting said lets go rip off some mask.

Backstage Samoa Joe was icing his head & said Magnus made a big mistake & lets throw out the rules. Joe said he will kill him.

Daniels & Kazarian came to the ring. Kazarian said Sting thinks the biggest frauds in TNA are Aces & 8s but the biggest frauds are Chavo & Hernandez. Daniels said they will get their rematch at Turning Point. Daniels called out the Spanish announce team Hector Guerrero & Wille. Daniels & Kazarian beat down Hector & Wille then Chavo & Hernandez came to the ring & Daniels & Kazarian retreated.

Gut Check Match: Christian York vs Zema Ion, Ion wins.

Garett Bischoff stopped Bully Ray in the back & said that Devon stabbed him in the back also & he is there if Bully needs him. Bull thanked him & they shook hands. A production assistant then told them that Aces & 8s are outside. Bully & Bischoff run outside, Sting & Angle are also there & they brawl with Aces & 8s then Aces & 8s retreated.

ODB came to the ring & called out Tara’s boyfriend Jesse. ODB vs Jesse, Jesse wins.

Robbie E. with Robbie T. came to the ring & called out Jeff Hardy. Robbie E. vs Hardy, Hardy wins. After the match Austin Aries came out to the stage. He has the World Title Belt & told Hardy to pick up his ugly belt. Aries said the only difference between the 2 are 3 seconds & he will climb the ladder again. Hardy gets a ladder & sets it up & climbs up it. Hardy said lets make our match at Turning Point a ladder match. Aries said he wasn’t going to do it.

A video was showed of the opening of Hogan’s Beach Shop where Matt Morgan confronted Hogan. Morgan took a old robe of Hogan’s & said to Hogan watch the history he makes with it. Hogan said you can’t take that & Morgan said that he just did. Hogan was watching a monitor in the back & he said starting to figure it out. James Storm approached Hogan & asked for a World Title shot. Hogan said if Storm was a betting man that he might have an idea for him.

Bobby Roode came out to the ring & said he wasn’t here to fight & he is being screwed because he was left out last week for the World Title match. AJ Styles came to the ring & said he should be the World Champion & told Roode to quit his crying. AJ called out Roode for a fight, Roode said no & then attacked AJ from behind. Hogan came out with James Storm & said both Roode & Styles deserve a title shot. Hogan made a match for Turning Point, A triple threat match with Roode, Styles & Storm where the winner gets a World Title shot but the person who gets pinned wont get another title shot until Bound For Glory next year.

Joey Ryan & Matt Morgan come to the ring. Morgan was wearing Hogan’s robe. Ryan called out Rob Van Dam. Ryan vs RVD, Ryan wins. After the match Morgan laid out RVD with a big boot.

Bully Ray came to the ring & gave a shout out to all the fans in the Northeast & called out Devon. Bully Ray vs Devon, Bully sat up a table in the ring & Devon waved out members of Aces & 8s. Aces & 8s surrounded Bully in the ring, Bully keeps them away with his chain. The TNA roster lead by Sting came to the ring & they brawled with Aces & 8s. Joseph Park got in the ring with a large Aces & 8s member & Park pulled off the guys masked to unveil that it was Luke Gallows. Gallows choked slammed Park through the table.
