KICKOFF SHOW

They’re sold out tonight. The listed capacity of the Davis Arena is 500. I Googled it. It’s not a huge building, but it’s the OVW Arena, WWE’s old developmental territory. Guys like Orton, Batista, Lesnar, and Cena got their WWE starts there. Anyway, this is Impact Wrestling.

D’MONE SOLAVINO vs AJ Daniels

These guys are OVW talents. They were working hard as the crowd filed in. AJ was the babyface.

AJ Daniels won after a move off the top.

Winner: AJ Daniels

Max The Impaler vs Cali Young

Max had a nice gimmick that was just scary. They hyped wanting to see her against Havoc. She’s an OVW star. Young is a blonde with a fun patriotic gimmick where they announced her as the next president of the US and her hometown is Mt Rushmore. She also had a manager dude with shorts on and a jacket all american flag print.

Max was much bigger than Cali so she slammed her around a lot. The manager took a little bump too. Cali took control for a bit and then the manager choked Max when the ref wasn’t looking. Cali kicked Max a bunch and couldn’t make the suplex work so Max reversed it.

The manager got in and he hit Max. The referee didn’t see him apparently. Then Max choked the manager and Max kicked Cali and then then manager took a kick. Max speared Cali and that was it.

Lyn is an OVW star, but she might be getting her shot with Impact now. Mathews seemed to hype her.

It’s a bit jarring at times with these camera cuts and bad focusing and zooms. it’s like they called a local Louisville video company that usually. only does church plays. There were also awful interviews. There was an interview with Ace Austin earlier, but I didn’t say anything about it because I couldn’t hear it.

Then she went for a buzzsaw DDT from the top rope — he landed on his feet. They went back up on top and then she just dropped and DESTROYED him across the top rope.

I don’t know what to even call what just happened and neither did Josh Mathews. That’s nothing new because he actually only calls 15% of the moves in the ring anyway. It was a BRUTAL move.

1-2-3 Tessa wins.

Winner: Tessa Blanchard
