TNA TV taping results (Bethlehem, PA): Kurt Angle vs Drew Galloway
These matches were taped for this coming Tuesday night’s Impact episode as well as for future One Night Only shows:
– Impact opened with EC 3 out. Jeff Hardy came out and said he was cleared to wrestle and wanted a title match. EC 3 told him he had to start from the bottom.
– Jeff Hardy beat Shynron. Shynron looked good in the short match, as did Hardy.
– Jade & Awesome Kong beat Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne in a street fight. All kinds of weapons. Jade pinned Rayne with a piledriver.
– Eric Young beat Bobby Roode to win the King Of The Mountain title after hitting a piledriver. Bram and James Storm were both involved interfering. Segment started when Beer Money was in the ring when Young and Bram came out. Young wanted a shot at the title.
– Ken Anderson debuted a new interview segment called “Huh.” Matt Hardy, Reby Hardy and Maxel Hardy were the guests. It seemed to build up Anderson vs. Hardy.
– Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards & Tigre Uno beat Jessie Godderz & Eli Drake & DJ Zema Ion. Godderz & Drake wouldn’t work with Ion. Ion superkicked Godderz and Godderz was pinned.
– Kurt Angle beat Drew Galloway in the main event. Great match. The finish was Angle winning clean with the Angle slam off the middle rope.
– The show ended with Matt Hardy asking for one more title shot and if that if he doesn’t win that title, he will leave TNA forever. This led to the announcement of next week’s main event, which is likely taped tonight, with EC 3 vs. Hardy as a last man standing match, title vs. loser leaves town.
Not for Impact:
- Rockstar Spud & Grado beat Mahabili Shera & Aiden O’Shea: This may air on the PPV on Friday in highlight form since Shera and O’Shea broke up as a team and they are wrestling on Friday night live. Either that or they just shot the angle for the people in Bethlehem.

- Eric Young beat Chris Melendez
- Jessie Godderz beat Robbie E
- Ken Anderson beat Bram
