TNA Impact Wrestling Results - 3/20/15 (Lashley vs. Angle)
TNA Impact Wrestling Results London, England (Wembley Arena) March 20, 2015 Commentators: Josh Matthews & Taz Report by: Josh Boutwell of Wrestleview.com
Impact opens up with Ultimate X.
TNA World Tag Team Championships Ultimate X Match The Wolves (c) vs. The Revolution (Manik & Great Sanada) vs. Bro-Mans (Jessie & Zema Ion)
The last time TNA had an Ultimate X Match on Impact was way back in 2013. Manik hits a Snap Suplex on Davey and all the heels take turns chopping and kicking Davey. Jessie holds Davey as Manik climbs to the top but instead of diving off Manik starts scaling the cables to try and pull the belts down! Jessie takes Manik out with a dropkick and then Bro-Mans whip Manik into the ropes and Jessie lifts Manik up into the air and down into a Spinebuster onto the knees of Zema! Jessie tries to lift Zema up to the titles but they fail and then Jessie dives off of the back of Zema but again he cant hold onto the belts. Zema then climbs up on Jessies shoulders but Manik climbs on Sanadas shoulders as well and they begin playing a game of chicken under the belts! The Wolves dive off of opposite corners with Missile Dropkicks to the heels! Davey climbs up the scaffold and grabs the cable but Sanada stops him and pulls him down to the top turnbuckle. Manik climbs up onto Daveys back and starts scaling the cables as my stream dies. I have no idea how but the Wolves won, sorry guys. This is frustrating as hell.
Winners & STILL TNA Tag Team Champions: The Wolves
----COMMERCIAL BREAK----
Kurt Angle is shown preparing backstage for his match tonight.
Austin Aries comes down to the ring and he says that there is something that has been missing from TNA the past few weeks and that is him. He shows off the scars from the attack the BDC put on him a few weeks. Aries mentions his briefcase that the BDC stole from him and he demands that they bring his briefcase back because he wont leave the ring without it. He says he wont jump Joe or Low-Ki from behind but instead he wants them to come out and face him like a man and give him back his briefcase.
Samoa Joe comes out alongside Low-Ki who is carrying the briefcase. Ki says that last he checked possession was 9/10ths of the law so as long as they have it then Aries cant play his games of will I or wont I go after the title. Aries says that briefcase has no value to the BDC because they cant do a damn thing with it but he has a way they can remedy it. He says that Ki also stole his X-Division Championship so he suggests Aries vs. Ki in a winner takes all match for both the X-Division Title and the World Title shot briefcase. Ki says that Aries doesnt deserve a shot at his title and then Joe blindsides him! Ki says that if Aries wants him so bad that he has to go through Joe first!

Main Event TNA World Heavyweight Championship The Destroyer Lashley (c) vs. Olympic Hero Kurt Angle
Boxing style intros for this one which is the first time TNA has done that in a few months. I saw some genius on Twitter say that TNA was stealing those style intros from NXT. Yeah too bad TNA has been doing boxing style intros off and on since 2002. An added dimension here is that the camera follows both wrestlers from the locker room to the ring.

Ceremony Held for Perry Aguayo Jr. at LG Tapings Posted by Steve Carrier on 03/22/2015 at 12:04 PM
Just one night after Hijo del Perro Aguayo (Perry Aguayo Jr.) passed away after an accident at a CRASH indie event in Mexico on Friday night, Konnan, who was one of the first to tend to Aguayo Jr. after the in-ring spot with Rey Mysterio, was present for last night's AAA Lucha Underground tapings in California. There was a ceremony done for Aguayo Jr. and it was described as "very sad" by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Lucha Underground officials informed the press that talents would not be available for interviews this weekend and won't be available until the next tapings because the talents were too upset to talk.
There were tributes for Perro done at several Mexican promotions last night and it's expected we will see some form of tribute at the indie events during WrestleMania 31 weekend in California. There has been no mention of the passing by WWE yet.
Aguayo's funeral is being held today in Guadalajara.
Mysterio comments on Perro Aguayo Jr.'s death Posted by Aaron Rift on 03/21/2015 at 06:17 PM
Rey Mysterio posted the following statement (translated to English) regarding the death of Perro Aguayo Jr.:
Just a friendship of brothers that started years ago and we should not question Gods plan was formed, but on this occasion I wonder why and I do not understand. Miss you and I will take with me the rest of my life. Rest in peace Hijo Del Perro.
With all due respect WORLD My deepest condolences to the family Aguayo. I will ask God to fill in Fortaleza and resignation to overcome this great loss ! God Bless, and to fill us in Fortaleza!
In response to the death of Perro Aguayo Jr., TNA star MVP went on Twitter and wrote some inspirational messages to fans and fellow wrestlers:
"We all tend to take tomorrow for granted. When we drive to work in the morning we expect to come home after work. It's a given right? When professional wrestlers climb into the ring we understand and know the dangers. We work hard to minimize them. But they're ever present. 'Death defying' is a very literal description of many elements of pro wrestling. Some of these amazing athletes make it look so easy. Tell the important people in your life that you love them. Make that call you've been too busy to make. That trip you haven't had time for. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Brothers & sisters that lace'em up... Tonight, say a prayer, raise a glass. Do what you do. Honor Perro Aguayo Jr & respect our ring. If I go suddenly, without a chance to say goodbye, know I had a blast! It's been one hell of a ride so far. My life had been a movie."
TNA Executive Vice President John Gaburick has announced that the company has re-signed Robbie E, Bram and Bobby Lashley to new contracts.
In the case of Lashley, this ends speculation and rumors that Lashley would leave TNA and focus full time on his Mixed Martial Arts career with Bellator MMA.
In Mexico is de professionele worstelaar Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, beter gekend als Hijo del Perro Aguayo, gestorven tijdens een gevecht. Nadat hij een mep incasseert tegen zijn nek, blijft hij roerloos hangen over de ring. Het gevecht gaat een aantal minuten door voor de scheidsrechter beseft dat de worstelaar niet meer beweegt. Aguayo is wat later gestorven in een ziekenhuis nabij.
Regarding the contract issues that came up between Vince McMahon and WWE World Heavyweight Champion two weeks ago at RAW, nothing has changed. Lesnar was at this week's RAW and apparently they were still unable to resolve the issues.
The situation is described as one where neither Lesnar or McMahon wants to budge from their current position on Lesnar's next deal with the company. To finalize the deal, one of them or possibly both of them, will likely have to budge on the terms they're sticking to for now. Both Vince and Brock are aware of this and there is said to be no pressure on Lesnar to be the first one to budge right now.
Former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio appeared on Wrestling Observer Live earlier this afternoon. Mysterio was asked about his decision to leave the company and mentioned that the company had no direction for the "Rey Mysterio" character.
"After my last surgery in 2011, I came back at the end in 2012. I felt like I rushed myself," said the former World Heavyweight Champion. "I went back on the shelf, came back and they put me with Sin Cara, and I felt like I wasn't going anywhere. I was being thrown in to just have tag matches, there was no direction for Rey Mysterio. My contract was coming to the end and I decided to not re-sign. I wanted to take time off to spend time with my family and go from there."
Mysterio also talked about the possibilities of joining Lucnha Underground, "If I take the next step and go to Lucha Underground, I want to take Lucha Libre global," Mysterio said. "My goal is to always make it bigger."
BREAKING NEWS: MATT HARDY OFFICIALLY SIGNS WITH TNA!
TNA Executive John Gaburick has officially announced that Matt Hardy is officially signed to a full time TNA contract.
Matt has stated within the past few weeks that he has hoped to come to an agreement on a full time contract in order to limit his schedule, being able to fully focus on his TNA career, looking after his family and winning the TNA tag titles.
You can listen to Matt speaking about all of this here.
It appears that TNA may have signed Shaun Ricker. He was previously in Orlando with TNA in February for a few One Night Only Tapings. However, he has now tweeted that he will be in Orlando this coming week for Impact Wrestling Tapings!
- Chad Dukes of CBS Radio Washington DC 106.7 The Fan and ChadDukesWrestling.com recently spoke with former TNA star Samoa Joe. The full interview is at this link but here are a few highlights:
Returning to Ring of Honor: I think certain times in your career you reexamine things and a change of scenery is nice. Its good for the fans, its good for me, and I think its healthy all around. Im excited about some new matches for me, theres some guys out there I havent had a chance to work with especially some younger guys, up and comers, that I think have tremendous promise and talent and I get to get in there and mix it up with them.
It kinda was a culmination over the past few months of various factors, various reasons. You kind of come to these big decisions and I kind of looked around saw the landscape of things and thought it was the time.
ROH making a run at being the #2 promotion: I dont really have a grasp of what Sinclairs intentions are. I really havent dealt much with the new regime yet. Like I said this is my return after an absence, I think 2008 is the last time I did anything with Ring of Honor. I think they want to grow and make their brand bigger, and bringing in myself and [Patron, Styles, etc] thats going to help with that. It takes tremendous infrastructure; it takes a lot of careful planning and wise decisions so its a lot more than the talent that walks through the door.
People saying AJ Styles' Styles Clash should be banned: Ive taken the Styles Clash several times and AJs a formidable athlete in his own right, its never been an issue of safety with me ever. I understand how people feel, theres obviously been injuries involved with it, but I know especially with my very long-term experience with experiencing the move on all ends of it, its always been a safe as far as injuries go move and Ive never really had an issue with it.
Possibly facing CM Punk again: Time will tell and thats really up to him and obviously his obligations to UFC. I know hes training real hard for his upcoming fight but if he wants to throw down, if he wants to scrap, you can come over here and start off with me and see whats left when you go into the octagon.
Possibly doing MMA: I really havent put any thought to it. I like to train, I train with a bunch of really awesome dudes here locally and back when I was full-time in California, its kind of a world thats always been around me. I love pro wrestling, man and Im a pro wrestler and I love what I do.
Top indie stars making it to WWE NXT: Im over the moon happy for those guys. Anyone that knows what the independent wrestling life is, its quite a grind, and for years there was that connotation kind of attached to it where a lot of those guys wouldnt get a fair shot in a bigger company. To see those guys doing so well and to see those guys taking the opportunity and running with it, I think its indicative of what youll find out on the independent circuit in a lot of cases. Its interesting, I think Hunter hes kinda come to realize that. I think most wrestlers up there they do respect the journeymen, the guys that go out there and grind it out, do this for the love and they realize theres talent out there.
Possibly going to WWE and starting in NXT: Ive never shied away from an opportunity to prove myself. Every promotion Ive ever worked for, initially when I started out, never wanted me. I remember my first Ring of Honor show and [Gabe Sapolsky. Former ROH booker] told me, Hey listen, we cant afford a flight out from California every month, so it will probably be a one-off deal. And then walking back through the curtain after that first match and him going, youre on every show. I think when you do get to the point where youre not willing to go out there and prove what you can do, I understand guys they feel strongly a certain way, thats fine, I think its individual for everybody, but I know for me Ive never shied away from an opportunity to prove myself anywhere.
Ive always firmly believed that you cant deny talent and cream always rises to the top. Those are two things you always hear clichés among all sports not just pro wrestling and its something that I firmly believe. At the end of the day, if youve got it youre going to get there. Youve got to find the opportunities, the doors and the windows you can find and do what you need to do.
Backstage News on Rey Mysterio's Leaving WWE Posted by Steve Carrier on 02/26/2015 at 07:10 PM
As noted, WWE quietly moved Rey Mysterio to their Alumni section today and the company later confirmed that he is no longer with them.
There are rumors that Rey negotiated his release but PWInsider reports that his WWE contract actually expired and was not renewed. We've noted how there have been issues between Rey and WWE for some time. While expecting to leave the company, Rey was upset that WWE extended his previous deal because he was out of action for so long with injuries.
Rey will have no trouble finding work with other promotions. Konnan is already reportedly working on setting up dates for Mysterio and announcements could come as soon as tomorrow. There were plans for some kind of big reveal but news getting out today probably nixed those plans.
Word is that Rey will be doing a number of signing appearances but likely won't be wrestling right away. Rey is expected to wrestle for Lucha Underground but as of this afternoon, the two sides have not signed a new deal. Rey may be coming into Lucha Underground as the person who introduced Konnan to Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma.
Rey will likely make his return to Mexico's AAA promotion at their March 15th Rey de Reyes event. AAA has announced a press conference for later this week and that could be where they announce Mysterio's return.
Mysterio is expected to ask for big money to make indie appearances.
As noted earlier, Rey Mysterio was moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com. Since then WWE issued the following statement regarding Mysterio's status with the company:
"Rey Mysterio is no longer under contract with WWE."
Rey Mysterio has been moved to the Alumni section of WWE.com. As of this writing, WWE has not issued a statement regarding his release, however, this usually indicates that a talent is done with the company.
Mysterio signed with the company back in June of 2002 and went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship twice, and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once. His last match in WWE was against Bad News Barrett the night after WrestleMania 30.
