‘TNA Wrestling’ Review (Aug 1st 2024)
Welcome to this week’s review of TNA Wrestling, Let’s get straight into the review and see what went down on the show…
Match 1: The Rascalz def. Speedball Mountain and KUSHIDA
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Trent Seven set Wes Lee up for a devastating kick to the side of the head. Bailey attempted to execute the Ultima Weapon, but Zachary Wentz intervened, shutting it down. This allowed The Rascalz to take control, setting Seven up for a triple team maneuver. Wentz and Lee then executed their signature move, Hot Fire Flame, to secure the victory!
My Score: 3 out of 5
Match 2: Rosemary def. Kristara
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Kristara put up a valiant effort against Rosemary, who ominously entered the ring with a butcher knife. Despite Kristara’s best efforts, Rosemary secured the victory with her finishing move, “As Above So Below.” After the match, Rosemary seemed ready to pummel Kristara further but suddenly stopped. She exited the ring, grabbed a bag, and returned to straddle Kristara, crossing her arms, symbolizing another victim claimed. Ash By Elegance and The Personal Concierge looked on in horror from the back.
My Score: 2 out of 5
Match 3: Frankie Kazarian def. Ryan Nemeth
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Frankie Kazarian went for Fade to Black, but Nemeth managed to evade it. Kazarian then quickly countered, planting Nemeth with a Cutter to secure the victory.
My Score: 2 out of 5
Match 4: Jody Threat def. Masha Slamovich
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Alisha attempted to interfere in the match, but Dani Luna intervened. In the chaos, Alisha wrapped the Knockouts Tag Team Championship around the middle turnbuckle. Dani Luna then laid out Alisha, while Jody delivered a drop toe hold, sending Masha face-first into the title-covered buckle. Jody followed up with a Pop Shove It on Masha, securing the victory!
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match 5: Mike Santana def. Campaign Singh
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Campaign Singh gave it his all, landing a back elbow and unleashing a flurry of offense on Mike Santana. However, Santana turned the tide with a DVD and finished Singh off with Spin The Block, securing the victory.
My Score: 2 out of 5
Match 6: TNA World Championship Match – Nic Nemeth def. Mustafa Ali
The following is courtesy of tnawrestling.com:
Nic Nemeth reached the ropes just in time to escape Mustafa Ali’s Sharpshooter. Landed a Superkick and followed up with the Danger Zone, successfully retaining the TNA World Championship.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Final Verdict: 2.5/5
This week’s TNA left a really bad taste in my mouth. We got a great opening match with The Rascalz and a great main event. But everything else in between was mediocre (though I enjoyed seeing Rosemary’s new look). But that ending… the “wedding” of PCO and Steph DeLander… Urgh. Literally felt like some of the crap Hogan and co. used to pull during the bad old days of TNA. Badly done, badly written, just a bad idea all round!
