Sacrifice Sunday 2021

A day out of nowhere checking up on Impact! Wrestling’s Sacrifice PPV from March 13th 2021. A best friend reminded me then I am on to watching this ppv. The opening match is with decay vs Reno Scum. This is a tag team match. decay features Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus (pronounced Tah-rus). decay has a woman wrestler Rosemary spitting a green mist in the eyes of a wrestler from the Reno Scum tag team. Not recalling the names of Reno Scum…the match was over in what felt like less than 10 minutes. The feature bout in this ppv is a unification match featuring Rich Swann vs Moose. Second match features Tenillie Dashwood and Kala vs Havoc and Niveah. This is a mixed tag team match. Kala is a man. The other team is, however both women wrestlers. Hijinks are in this match from massive double team wrestling from Havoc and Niveah. The wrestler Kala has almost no offense in this match. So I thought until a hair pull then a quick tag to Tenille. Tenille takes advantage of Kala on the outside while she distracts the ref for Kala to get cheap shot arm lashes to Niveah. Kala gets a tag then quickly locks on a leg lock towards a tag into Tenille. During a choke hold Kala captures a video. Quick tags here in this match between Kala and Tenille. Niveah is towards a tag bringing Havoc wreaking all kinds of havoc, pun intended. Hijinks and quick cheating brings Tenille and Kala to the winning column on this night. A pep talk in the locker room is shown next from Eddie Edwards towards Rich Swann to capture the TNA championship from Moose. VBD, Violent By Design faction led by Eric Young is up next. Storm and Sabin with Jake Something vs VBD. This match I will set back and watch. The results in the next sentence. Ugly offense in that match is for sure. Heavy hitting action. Not much flair. No nonsense hits from elbows or kicks from Chris Sabin and James Storm. Rhino comes in when I thought he was for the Chris Sabin and James Storm team only to be bamboozled by Rhino gore-ing Sabin helping Violent By Design to pick up the W here. Brian Myers gets interviewed in the next segment stating he is the most professional wrestler…only to be followed up with a promo video for his match up next against Eddie Edwards in a hold harmless match which means there is no rules! The match starts with haymakers towards each wrestler. Eddie Edwards gets the upper offense with a overhead throw. Brian Myers is on the outside he slid to. Eddie Edwards follows Brian to the entrance then brings him to the outside of the ring only to rake his eyes. Brian slides in the ring only to get eyes raked again attempting to reverse with …so much action I must pause typing to watch to not miss a step of the action in this match. Back in the ring Myers gets clotheslined outta the ring only to get it followed by a dive to the outside to him from Eddie. Eddie gave Brian a headbutt then drags him to steel steps he fails for a clothesline only to getting Brian just grabbing his feet snapping him back to steel steps. Brian smashes Eddie’s face to the ring apron and then the steel steps. Throws Eddie back in the ring does Brian then grabs a trashcan lid which he smashes Eddie with and a pin…only to get a 1 count on Eddie Edwards here. Brian with a snap mare following it up with a choke hold just hammering blows at the same time with his arm. Eddie attempts punches only to get smacked with a cookie sheet twice by Brian Myers then slaps Eddie in the face with a trashcan lid. A choke with the trashcan lid follows then Brian just administers a suplex and a pin. Eddie still kicked out before 3 but this time at 2. Brian with a michinoku driver and Eddie still kicked out at 2. While Eddie is still woozy Brian goes to the outside of the ring and grabs three steel chairs from underneath the ring. Choking Eddie with a chair he attempts a top rope maneuver only to get slapped by Eddie with a cookie sheet. Eddie then suplexes Brian on the chairs and the trashcan lid and the cookie sheet as well. Hair slaps and slugs back and forth between each wrestler follows shortly. Eddie gets the upper hand with some slaps into a blue thunder bomb on Brian Myers just asking himself what he has to do to beat Brian since Brian kicks out of a 2 count pin. Looking under the ring for weapons Eddie sets up a table on the outside of the ring. Brian Myers paid Hernandez to beat up Eddie only failing getting a save by Matt Cardona. Eddie has a kendo stick after this. Brian hid under the ring as Eddie was coming to hit up with the kendo stick only to be pulled to the hard ring apron. Brian with a flatliner type of maneuver on the outside only to set up Eddie on the table. Brian then attempts a top rope maneuver only to get hit from a quickly recovered Eddie with the kendo stick. A backpack stunner into the table from Eddie. After this they are slowly in the ring. Eddie has a flapjack that Brian tried using then puts it in his kneepad and hits him with his sliding kick finishing maneuver “Boston Knee Party”. Eddie Edwards picks up the win. Great match! Jazz and Jordynne Grace vs Fire n Flava is up next for the Knockout tag team championships! I honestly stepped outta the room while having this match to use the bathroom and replenish my coffee mug. When I returned Grace and Jazz are dominating until a double stomp in the corner from fire n flava knockout champions. Jordynne Grace shortly returns offense but oh goodness this is fast paced action in the match hard to document move for move with a shocking win still champions Fire n Flava. Short match that couldn’t have gone over 15 minutes. Up next is Moose interviewed only to say he has done enough talking. Ace Austin is up next with Madman Fulton. X Division championship match. Ace Austin is the challenger against TJP. This match is with fast paced action hard to follow and document at the same time as well. TJP has reversals upon reversals from wrist locks proving his speed and strength. The match begins with holds, a hold into a pin with only a one count from Ace Austin into back into a choke hold. TJP brings him back and reverses into a abdominal stretch. Ace breaks it quick then they break away. A test of strength then onto a twisting head scissors. Quick pace here with a kick out of nowhere and clap from TJP onto a sliding dropkick to Ace Austin’s sidekick Madman Fulton. Ace Austin runs in the ring then runs into a shooting star press to the outside to TJP. Fast paced innovative action follows from both wrestlers here hard to follow again. I definitely recommend the watching of this ppv for fans of TJP, Kenny Omega, Rich Swann. D’Lo Brown and Matt Stryker commentary team is phenomenal here on this Sacrifice ppv! Amazing display of athleticism showcased in the X championship match. TJP holds in a knee bar that gets broken by Ace grabbing the ropes. Both men get to their feet with forearm strikes back and forth only to have a TJP counter wrestler extraordinaire counting moves like clockwork. Ace grabs the ref in front of him while TJP tries a top rope maneuver and honestly so much happens in the span of less than 60 seconds trying to type that I just look up and Ace Austin gets a kick in and some crazy finisher to the 1-2-3 victory gaining the X Division Championship. After this match a casino is sort of set up in the back “Swinger’s Palace” showing Tenille Dashwood talking trash on some new woman wrestler I have never seen before. Johnny Swinger is just hilarious in this segment. Next match here is the Impact Knockout woman’s championship featuring ODB vs Deonna Purrazzo. Really interested in the last three matches so apologies are in order here for not too much descriptions but I will cover as thorough as I can for a Sacrifice Sunday! Surprising quick tap from ODB when Deonna had on a double armbar type of submission move. Quite the cheater is Deonna. Deonna retains her knockout women’s championship. Tenille demands a match in the next segment with some new woman’s wrestler I’m unfamiliar with. David Finlay and Juice Robinson, otherwise known as Finn-Juice are in the next match. The Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs Finn Juice. Finn-Juice gets the win with a surprising Impact! World Tag Team Championship title change. The new champions are Finn-Juice. Doomsday device was what led to the 1-2-3 for the new champions! Moose vs Rich Swann is the next match which is a Impact Wrestling champion in Rich Swann vs a TNA Impact champion in Moose. Title Unification match super great with a outcome well deserved! Surprise roll up from Rich Swann equals a new unified Impact TNA world’s champion!!!
