Impact Wrestling 4/20/17
Jeff Jarrett is out first for his big announcement
Jeff Jarrett: “Welcome everybody to a live edition of Impact! Now on to business. You will be seeing a lot of fresh faces and returning stars from our past. With all the new talent, I expect our roster to grow to numbers never before seen here on Impact. We just don’t want your favorite stars to get lost in the shuffle. So, Impact Wrestling will be partnering with Global Force Wrestling. Which means we will be having two shows or brands to offer our fans. We need two leaders to run those shows.”
Bruce Pritchard comes out and walks down to the ring
Bruce Pritchard: “Thank you Mr. Jarrett for allowing me to be the leader of the Impact brand. I’ve been handling things while you were away and I just can’t wait to determine our roster here.”
Jeff Jarrett: “Bruce you will be a leader but it will be for Global Force. The leader for Impact will be the man that helped revolutionize the Knockouts division before there was a revolution. He produced the greatest event in our history. The leader of the Impact brand will be Dutch Mantel!”
Dutch Mantel comes out in his scooter to the top of the ramp
Dutch Mantel: “Thank you Jeff. I look forward to examining the roster over the next few weeks leading into our draft. As well as recruiting talent to join me here on Impact. Since I will be running this show I want to make a match that will happen in 2 weeks. The Impact Grand Championship is one that I never was a fan of because the winner was not always determined in the ring but by judges. I think Moose is being held back by that Championship. So in two weeks that belt will be no more, but here is our main event. Lashley or James Storm going up against Moose in a match for the World Championship.”
Bruce Pritchard: “I think I’m going to have to one up you there Dutch. Cody decided he was going to bring out the Next Gen Championship with him next week he will defend it against a mystery opponent. In a match that is sure to be great.”
Match 1 – LAX (w/Homicide) vs. Reno Scum
Match 2 – Davey Richards (w/Angelina Love) vs. Grado
The BroMans reunite this week on Xplosion
Backstage Eli Drake and Tyrus confront Dutch Mantel
Eli Drake: “Last week we were cheated. They had no reason bringing back those washed-up wrestlers like Magnus and Matt Morgan to Impact.”
Dutch Mantel: “Drake and Tyrus if they were washed up then why did your team lose to them? You know what though we have an opening here and I’m going to make a match. Eli Drake and Tyrus versus Magnus and Matt Morgan in a tag team match.”
Match 3 – Allie vs. Sienna
Eddie Edwards update next week
Backstage with Braxton Sutter/Angelina Love/Dutch Mantel
Braxton Sutter: “Did you see Allie get cheated there? Back to back weeks. Last week I was attacked by this Kongo Kong guy. This week Allie gets attacked again.”
Dutch Mantel: “I know you want revenge and that’s why you have a match up next against Kongo Kong. If KM gets involved or any of the knockouts involved in this whole mess they will be suspended. Good luck out there.”
Match 4 - Kongo Kong vs. Braxton Sutter
Backstage with Dutch Mantel/Andrew Everett
Dutch Mantel: “First night on the job and people keep bothering me as I prepare for the draft. What is it you want Everett?”
Andrew Everett: “Shane Helms has been putting me through hoops to get a match for the X-Division Championship. I won the match last week and no title match. What gives?”
Dutch Mantel: “Trevor Lee will be in a match tonight against Garza Jr. Next week right here on Impact you will get your match. If I was you I would watch this next match to prepare.”
Match 5 – Trevor Lee (w/Shane Helms) vs. Garza Jr. (w/Laredo Kid)
Debuting Next Week
EC3 comes down to the ring
EC3: “I’m tired of getting treated like this. Last week I know that poll was rigged. You all keep chanting EC3 and I know you all casted your votes for me! I might have come up short against Lashley in the past but I know with just one more chance I can get it done. I’m owed that chance because over the last year I’ve carried this company. You all were there for that and you cheered me on as I won the Impact World Championship. I want to do that again. I’m putting everybody on notice because whether I stay on Impact or go to Global Force I will hold the top Championship.”
Match 6 – Eli Drake/Tyrus vs. Magnus/Matt Morgan
COMING SOON!
Cody comes down to the ring
Cody: “Next week I’m supposed to defend this Next Gen Championship against a random person. I want to call that man out right now. I can’t wait for next week let’s get this started.”
Moose comes down to the ring and Cody takes off running.
Moose: “Don’t worry Cody I’m not your opponent next week. I know you have a habit of calling out people when you know they can’t come out here to get you. I’m here and I’ll be here. Cody, I beat you once and I’ll do it again when you are man enough to step into the ring with me. Right now, I have more important things on my mind. Lashley and Storm. Whoever walks out Champion I look forward to facing you in two weeks. I don’t plan on walking out without the gold that night.”
