Video: Leon Slater

A video package opened the show recapping Leon Slater’s rise to X Division Champion and reminding us all that if he wins tonight, he’ll be the longest-reigning X Division Champion, which is pretty cool.

TNA World Championship #1 Contender Battle Royal Match

No better way to start a show than with a giant battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the TNA World Championship. Most of the participants were already in the ring, but The System, Mustafa Saed and Elijah (cosplaying my E-Fed character from about 30 years ago) got their own intro and entrance.

Saed threw trash can lids, Kendo sticks and chains into the ring and before the match even started, Bear Bronson ate a shot to the head with a trash can lid. No one really knew what to make of Saed, so they attached him Steven Segal style, ie one at a time.

Saed was also the frist to be eliminated as he got tossed over the ropes by Agent Zero. Zero and Dutch of the RIghteous were next to go over and Zero was not happy about it, tearing up the ringside area. ECE was eliminated next follwed by Mr Elegant.

Brian Meyers got thrown out next along with Skylar and Vincent. Elijah hit a high knee on Jason Hotch to eliminate him and we were down to about half a dozen left in the ring. The Hometown Man was eliminated with Frankie Kazarian going next to bring us to four.

Kazarian came back to pull Elijah’s hair, but that just gave him an opening to eliminate Eddie Edwards and Bear Bronson. That left Elijah and Erik Young as the final two.

They battled on the ring apron (the royalest part of the ring!) with Young hitting a low blow on Elijah, causing him to fall to the floor and give Young the victory.

Winner: Eric Young.

Backstage: Leon Slater, The Hardys

Backstage, Leon Slater was interviewed about his match later tonight. Slater said that he is ready to make history by winning tonight. He touted the legacy of the X Division and tonight he will go from the Youngest to the Greatest X Division Champion.

The Hardys arrived and said that Slater has a chance to become a legend tonight and wished him luck.

Backstage: Order 4

Back from break, Mr Ali cut a promo about rubbing a lamp and getting three wishes. He said that his open challenge for the TNA International Title will continue next week.

Backstage: Eric Young

Eric Young stormed in next to remind us he just won a battle royal. Thanks Eric!

In-Ring Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside

Lee Street-Fightered her way to the ring and grabbed a mic. “You deserve it” chants started as Lee said that she has been waiting her whole life for this moment (which is interesting since this is her second run with the title).

Lee said that she doesn’t have the words in English to express her gratitude to the fans and she thanked them. As she did that, Xia Brookside came out to interrupt.

Brookside said that sooner or later, the title will come to her. Lee said that she was sick of Brookside and then yelled at her in Chinese. Brookside ran her down for her limited Engish (classy) and Lee said let’s do it right here, right now!

Brookside pretended to accept, but then said she would never fight Lee in a cesspool like Sacramento. Rude.

She then called Lee a bitch in Mandarin and stormed out, leaving Lee incensed in the ring.

Backstage: The System

Back from break, the System was interviewed (again) about the loss they suffered in the Battle Royal. Meyers and Bronson called out Moose and Cedric Alexander said that he is going to spoil Leon Slater’s party tonight. Because apparently, you can’t beat the System.

Ringside: The Elegance Brand

Back from another break, Keith Jardine was interviewed at Ringside about the new movie “Over Your Dead Body.” It has a lot less to do with wrestling than you think, but Jardine said that it was violent and fun but then The Congierge, Mr Elegance and the Elegance brand came down to the ring and made fun of him for not being as greasy as they are. Security came down and sent them to the back, ending the segment.

Sactown Street Fight Match
AJ Francis vs. KC Navarro

Navarro and Francis used to be friends and tag team partners, but now they are looking to tear each other apart in a street fight, which is also how I settle disputes with my former (and current) friends.

The voice of The Oakland A’s, Chris Carey joined the commentary team for this match, which I’m sure is exciting for the people who enjoy Oakland baseball before it inevitably moves to Las Vegas.

The match started with a brawl on the outside and Navarro going until the ring for a table. Francix knocked him down and very nicely put it back for him. He threw Navarro into the ring and went for a Down Payment, but Navarro countered it with a 305.

The fight moved outside the ring where Francis went for a lawndart, but Navarro countered it into a DDT. He pulled the table out from underneath the ring again, but Francis threw him into the steps. Navarro grabbed a chair form under the ring and belted Francis with it before sending him into the steps head first.

We came back from commercial just in time to see Francis throw Navarro into the ring post. Francis grabbed a baseball bat, but couldn’t connect on a leaping Navarro. Navarro grabbed the bat and a batting helmet from Chris Carey and belted Francis with it.

Francis escaped into the ring only to get clocked in the head by the bat again. Navarro set him up in the corner with a trash can and rounded the bases to hit a dropkick, driving the trash can into Francis’ midsection. He followed that with a Fame-Ass-Er, but Francis kicked out at two.

Navarro threw half a dozen chairs into the ring and set them up in the middle of the ring. he set Francis up on them and went up top, but Francis got up and cracked him with the bat. Francis joined Navarro up top and hit a massive Down Payment but halfway down, Navarro countered it into a cutter, sending Francis through the chairs.

Navarro went back to basics, hitting Francis with a chair and burying him with the others in the ring. He went up top, but Francis exploded out of the chairs with a big boot. Francis then hit a Down Payment over the top rope, sending Navarro through two tables that were set up on the outside.

Francis threw Navarro back into the ring and pinned him to get the victory.

Winner: AJ Francis via Pinfall.

In-Ring: Mike Santana, Daria Rae, Santino Marella

Santana entered through the crowd, which probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but if you’re going to do that, you should probably make sure that you’ve sold out the venue so your champion isn’t entering in front of empty seats.

Santana grabbed the mic and asked what was good. He said that he was taught to speak through actions, not words, and it’s gotten him to the TNA World Championship. He then addressed the new #1 Contender, Eric Young.

Santana said that he recognizes Young’s legacy, but he’s beaten those with legacy before. That brought out Daria Rae.

Rae congratulated Santana and said that Young wasn’t actually the next contender for the title. Steve Maclin is still owed a rematch. Maclin has been cleared for in ring action, so next week it will be Santana vs Maclin for the TNA World Title.

That conjured Director of Authority Santino Marella. He had some announcements of his own: First, Indi Hartwell has just re-signed with TNA. That ended up being the only announcement though as Santana interrupted Marella and Rae jawing at each other about Stacks.

Santana said this was terrible, and accepted the match for next week and left.

The Diamond Collective (Victoria Crawford & Mila Moore) vs. Rosemary & Allie

Rosemary and Moore kicked things off with Rosemary doing some biting early on. Allie also got a nibble in and Rosemary tagged her in for a double team. Allie chopped Moore and screamed at her while splashing her in the corner.

Blanchard got involved, pulling Allie off the turnbuckle and giving Moore a chance to change the momentum. Moore got some shots in then tagged in Crawford who bounced Allie’s head off the turnbuckle.

Moore tagged back in and stomped Allie, isolating her in the corner. Crawford and Moore exchanged quick tags while throwing hands at Allie. Allie managed to connect with a neckbreaker on Moore and crawled over to tag in Rosemary.

Crawford also tagged in and Rosemary hit a sling blade on her followed by and exploder suplex. Crawford came back with a big boot, but Rosemary countered it with a reverse DDT. Moore broke up the pin attempt but Rosemary fought off the double team.

Sade took out Blanchard on the outside and Allie sent Moore into the steel steps. She picked her up and hit her with a spiccoli driver on the outside while Crawford at a “So Below” in the ring to get pinned 1,2,3.

Backstage: The Broken Hardys

Back from break, Broken Matt Hardy cut a promo that was WONDERFUL! as he called out The Righteous to meet them next week on the battlefield where the action is total and non-stop!

TNA X-Division Championship 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
Cedric Alexander vs. Leon Slater (c)

The record that Slater is looking to capture tonight has stood for over 14 years, so this match is a pretty big deal. Slater and Alexander are 2-2 against each other since last August and the show has done a great job building up this match all night, so let’s do it!

The bell rang and Slater dodged a charge from Alexander. They started trading punches and Slater went for a quick Styles Clash, but Alexander countered it. He went for a lumbar check, but Slater rolled him up and scored the first pin of the match.

Score: Leon Slater – 1 Fall, Cedric Alexander – 0 Falls.

Back from a break, Alexander sent Slater careening into the corner and it was revealed that during the commercial, Alexander hit a snap German suplex that had Slater landing on his neck. In the here and now, they traded forearms in the center of the ring with Alexander going for a pin that Slater kicked out of.

Slater hit a chinbreaker and a dropkick, but Alexander stayed on his feet until Slater clotheslined him. He hit one hell of a kick in the corner and went up top. Alexander moved and went for another Lumbar Check but Slater countered with a spin kick and then a cross body from the top turnbuckle.

It was here that they announced that Ultimate X will return on June 28th at Slammiversary.

A busted open Slater ate a Michinoku driver, but Alexander wasn’t able to get the pin. Slater grabbed a headlock to cut off a Lumbar Check and Alexander punched him in the back about it. Slater responded with a high kick with both men starting to look worn down.

Alexander finally got a Lumbar Check in and pinned Slater to even the score 1-1. We moved into next pin wins territory as they went to another commercial break.

Score: Leon Slater – 1 Fall, Cedric Alexander – 1 Fall.

Back from said break, Slater was on the top turnbuckle and Alexander caught him with a high kick. Alexander went for a hurricanrana, but Slater countered it into a Super Styles Clash from the top turnbuckle! He went for the cover, but somehow Alexander kicked out.

Slater went back to the top, but Alexander kicked his legs out from under him. On the way down, Slater caught his leg in the ropes, wrenching his knee. Alexander then slammed Slater’s head into the ring steps. Alexander started getting cocky and grabbed the belt from Carlos Silva.

He then put it back gently and held Slater’s head to the camera to show his multiple lacerations. Rolling Slater back into tyhe ring, Alexander set him up for a suplex, but Slater tried to steal one with a rollup. Alexander came back with a brainbuster, but Slater kicked out.

Slater staggered to his feet and Alexander hit another Lumbar Check. Somehow, Slater kicked out and ducked a Blue Thunder Bomb. He went up top, literally slipping in his own blood and landed a 450, but Alexander had moved. Alexander hit another Lumbar Check and then one more for good measure. He pinned Slater and that was it. 1-2-3 and Cedric Alexander is the new TNA X-Division Champion.

Winner: Cedric Alexander via 2 Falls to 1 Fall to become the new TNA X-Division Champion.

After the match, who should come waltzing out? Fabian Aichner of all people! He and Alexander stared each other down as the show went off the air.
