Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results!
Tonight should be fun as Bully Ray will start the night off and there’s plenty of action coming our way. Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Brian Myers w/The Good Hands (Jason Hotch, John Skyler) vs. Tyler Tirva
Myers started it off disrespecting Tyler by slapping his chest following their initial lockup, and then running to the ropes when Tyler slapped him back.
After Myers hit a shoulder tackle, Tyler turned up the pace and heat and took it to him with a series of moves that led to a pin attempt and Myers subsequently heading to the floor to regroup.
Myers got the Good Hands to help him circle the ring, but the ref had enough of his games and banned them from ringside.
Tyler went out after Myers and nailed him with some rights. Myers went under the ring, and when Tyler grabbed him he pulled Tyler into the apron to turn the tide.

Myers tried to slow things down with a rear chin lock, but Tyler hit a jawbreaker, then he reversed a pin attempt into a front slam to buy some time.
Myers responded with a couple of kicks and a DDT for a near pinfall. He then kicked the top rope into Tyler’s nether region and followed it with a Roster Cut for the win.
Bully and Maclin face challenges
Bully Ray came out and started it off by saying he’s the most hated man in this company and the business. His entire career he’s put people through tables and no one’s better.
He listed the people he put through tables, and when someone pisses him off he lights the table on fire.

He singled out Scott D’Amore for pissing him off, and Under Siege was one of the best nights of his life as he enjoyed setting D’Amore on fire.
He then said he’s going to Against All Odds and he’s going to win the 8-4-1 match and go to Slammiversary to win the world title.
Steve Maclin came out in response, and once he was in the ring he kept one eye on Bully.
Maclin said he loved everything they did to D’Amore, but the only reason it happened was because he allowed it to happen.
Bully took offense and said he doesn’t need someone like Maclin to let him do something. He paused in the middle of his tirade and pointed out he’s the world champion and he’s right.
Maclin pointed out he acknowledged him and raised his hand, then said the world is asking what if they were a team and what could they achieve.
He told Bully that if he does win and goes to Slammiversary, he’s more than happy to be his opponent.
Next up, the Motor City Machine Guns came out as they have some unfinished business after they were beaten back when they tried to help D’Amore.
Shelley pointed out Bully’s not the number one contender, he is. Then he told Maclin he’s not going to be world champion, Shelley will be.

Bully told Shelley he’d normally beat him down verbally, but he can’t. He said he may be hated, but he’s the most honest man in wrestling.
Unable to win the big one
He called Shelley the epitome of a great pro wrestler and that he should be mentioned in the same breath as the top wrestlers in the world.
Bully ran down Shelley as never being able to win the big one, and Sabin told Bully he said that to him and he beat him and Bully reminded him he won the title back one month later.
They continued going down memory lane and Shelley continued to say he knows he’ll beat Maclin because he’s no Josh Alexander.
The MCMG challenged them to a math, and Bully said it’s a great idea, but not tonight. SUBCULTURE came out and happily accepted the challenge.
The MCMG agreed and told Maclin and Bully to keep their eyes open.
