Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results!
Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun one as we get ready for Throwback Throwdown III on December 2, but it’s not all throwback tonight as we’re going to have some good matches as well.
With Deonna Purrazzo looking to end Mickie James career and Rich Swann looking for some payback against Bully Ray, things are going to get intense.
Let’s get to the action!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Ladybird Johnston vs. Miss Bea Haven
Nothing like some IPWF sneak peek action to get us ready for Throwback Throwdown III, and this is going to be a fun one coming to us all the way from 1985.
Haven showed off her chalkboard and lectured Johnston, but Johnston took it and stomped on it. When Haven tried to send her to detention, Johnston went after her and had a early advantage.

Haven took it to her with a series of chops and a splash, followed by a bulldog attempt Johnston countered by pushing her off and hitting a shoulder block.
After mocking and choking out Haven, Johnston hit a Rock-a-Bye Baby and then hit a full nelson slam, and transitioned into a leg scissors, but Haven made it to the ropes.
After Haven had a flurry, Johnston nailed her with her chalkboard and closed it out with a leg drop for the pin.
Bully Ray started us off by coming out with his broken Call Your Shot Trophy after Scott D’Amore kicked and broke it.

After he stared down a kid, he called for his music to be shut off.
He asked why is everyone made at him. He did nothing wrong. He won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, told everyone the truth, and he followed through with his word.
He even agreed with the fans that Josh Alexander if one of the greats and compared him to Kurt Angle, but as great as he is in the ring, he’s not smart like Bully Ray.
Bully added that he ran Hulk Hogan out of wrestling and screwed Brooke Hogan, and put Dixie Carter through a table. He then took credit for building Impact Wrestling.
Rich Swann came out and attacked Bully and took him from one corner to another, but Bully got out of the ring when Swann headed to the top rope. Swann hit a crossbody overt eh top ropes and a ref came out.
Rich Swann vs. Bully Ray
With the actual match starting, Swann hit a couple of kicks to Bully’s legs, but Bully took over with a shoulder block on Swann.
Bully nailed Swann in the throat with a double punch, and proceeded to hammer Swann down while telling him “No, no, no. You’re small, I’m big.”

Swann used his speed to hit a splash off the top rope for a pin attempt, but Bully hit the top rope while Swann was on top to knock him down, and then hung him in the Tree of Woe and got in a few shots.
Bully missed a Senton, then kicked out of a splash, and then out of a crossbody off the top rope.
Bully grabbed his chains and nailed Swan with it to get disqualified.
After pushing Swann to the floor, Bully grabbed a chair and backed the ref off before he nailed Swann with it. He even took a fan’s sign and tore it apart before going back to Swann with the chair.
Other res ran out to help, but he chased them off with the chair and then zip tied Swann to the bottom rope.
Tommy Dreamer came out and stopped Bully and told him to knock it off. Dreamer was upset after sticking up for Bully and Bully questioned him about turning on him and standing by Swann.
Scott D’Amore came out and went after Bully, and the refs came out again and Scott tossed them aside while Dreamer remained between them as they circled the ring and Scott destroyed what was left of the trophy.
