Impact Wrestling is taping their special 1000th episode tonight at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY. These will air next Thursday, September 14, and will also serve as the post-Victory Road episode. Below are live spoilers for tonight, courtesy of Cosmo Tresvant:
* Jade Chung is out to ring announce. Gia Miller and Tom Hannifan are out for commentary
* Jody Threat defeated KiLynn King in a match taped for Before The Impact. Taylor Wilde was still not with King. King apparently had her foot on the ropes but the pin was still counted
* Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Champions MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich, Killer Kelly) retained over The Death Dollz (Jessicka, Courtney Rush) in a match taped for Before The Impact. Kelly was the star of the match. Towards the end she was dominated with quick tags, but then Slamovich got the hot tag for a really loud pop. Slamovich ran wild but could only get a 2 count to Rush. The challengers double teamed Slamovich until Kelly made the save and a big brawl broke out. Slamovich finished Jessicka off with the Snowplow
* Matthew Rehwoldt and David Penzer are introduced now that the Impact 1000 taping is beginning
* Alan Angels won Ultimate X in the opener for Impact 1000. The other competitors were Mike Bailey, Ace Austin, Samuray del Sol, Rich Swann, and Impact World Tag Team Champion Zachary Wentz. This was non-stop from the bell, all over the place, so many high risk moves from up top. Early on there was a big spot where multiple competitors hit moonsaults from the top of the structure to a huge pop and “this is Impact!” chant. At one point Wentz hit Sol with spray-paint. Bailey, Austin, Swann and Angels hit the ropes to go for the X symbol. Wentz knocked Austin off with spray-paint. Bailey and Angels fought it out but both fell down to the mat. Angels ended up retrieving the X but he’s just hanging, not falling to secure the win. Austin and Bailey reach Angels and there’s a struggle for the X. The X falls to the mat as do Angels, Austin and Bailey, and Angels grabs the X first to get the win
* Chris Sabin vs. Impact X-Division Champion Lio Rush was announced for later
* Crazzy Steve, Yuya Uemura, Moose and Chris Bey all won briefcases in the return of Feast or Fired. The contents of the briefcases will be revealed at a later date – three contracts for future title shots (World, X-Division, Tag Team) and one pink slip for a release. The other competitors were Steve Maclin, PCO, Joe Hendry, Kushida, Laredo Kid, Brian Myers, Kevin Knight, Black Taurus, Johnny Swinger, Heath, Sami Callihan, John Skyler, Bhupinder Gujjar, Action Bravo, John Skyler, Jonathan Gresham, and Jai Vidal. The four briefcases were fastened on top of Ultimate X. PCO entered last and hit a big dive onto multiple bodies. Bey got the first case, Steve got the second case and guarded it with a fork, going low on Myers with it and then threatening Moose, who wanted no problems with the fork as he let Steve exit. Hendry stood guard for Uemura to retrieve a case. Callihan tried to steal it but a game of “monkey in the middle” allowed Uemura to exit with it. Everyone fought for the final case now. Maclin grabbed it, then flew back down with a big splash to Heath. Maclin looked to exit with the case but he was suddenly surrounded by everyone else, preventing him from exiting to end the match. Rhino then made his surprise return to a big pop, hitting Maclin with a Gore. Maclin lost control of the briefcase due to the Gore, and Moose caught it for the win
* Impact President Scott D’Amore came to the ring to thank everyone and welcome them to Impact 1000. He recalled how the first episode opened up with he and Eric Young with Team Canada. D’Amore said Impact will celebrate its past, present and future over the next few weeks. He then praised the Knockouts division and brought out Impact Hall of Famer Gail Kim. Kim also praised the Knockouts and led us to a video package of highlights from the Knockouts over the years. The Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky) interrupted to a big pop. They mocked Kim and the history of the Knockouts, saying they are perfect but everyone else in the video was ugly, just like Kim is ugly. The back & forth on the mic led to Kim teasing a match. Savannah Evans, Gisele Shaw and Jai Vidal interrupted and gave a proper welcome back to The Beautiful People. Shaw gave some praise to Sky and Love but mentioned how today’s Knockouts are better. Sky told her to provide examples and out came Jordynne Grace, who praised former and current Knockouts. Deonna Purrazzo was out next, and she said she comes from no generation but her own as The Era of The Virtuosa has been dominating since her official debut, since that first title win over Grace. Purrazzo was the most over at this point, and more than Knockouts World Champion Trinity, who came out next. Trinity gave a show of respect to everyone but said right now she’s champion and this is her moment. Impact Hall of Famer Awesome Kong came out next with Raisha Saeed for a big pop. Saeed called for silence but a “welcome back!” chant started up. Saeed issued a challenge for anyone to face Kong and promised they will be crushed. Tasha Steelz then came out to a pop for her surprise return. Steelz cut a good promo and revealed herself as the mystery woman on Team Beautiful People. Steelz had words for Kong but then Mickie James came out to a huge pop and chant for another surprise. James declared herself to be the greatest and said she is the mystery woman for Team Over. James said this will be the biggest Knockouts match ever
* Impact Hall of Famers Team 3D defeated The Desi Hit Squad. This was Team 3D’s first match together since December 2016. This started out with Rohit Raju and Champagne Singh coming to the ring and going on about how they’re the top tag team. Bully Ray and D-Von Dudley then came out to a huge pop and declared their team to be the Kings of Tag Team Wrestling. Bully and D-Von both looked good in the ring, D-Von received a “you still got it!” chant. The Dudleyz hit all their signature offense, and when the crowd asked for tables, D-Von got them. They then hit the 3D on Singh for the pin. After the match, Roju took a Bubbabomb off the ropes through a table. The Dudleyz then spoke to the crowd in what were great babyface speeches, talking about their Impact runs and how important Impact is to their careers. They led the crowd in a big “Impact!” chant
* Josh Alexander came out to talk about how he’s been a fan of Impact for 21 years. He said the 15 year old boy who first began watching the show never would have believed that he’d now be on the show and celebrating 1000 episodes. He mentioned how he never lost the World Title. Impact World Champion Alex Shelley came out and they had words, and Shelley ended up challenging Alexander. Impact World Tag Team Champions The Rascalz attacked Alexander and Shelley walked while Alexander took the beating
* Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks defeated Eddie Edwards and Alicia Edwards when Brooks pinned Alicia. It was announced that Brooks will go into the Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory. She and Kazarian celebrated with their son
* Chris Sabin defeated Lio Rush to win the Impact X-Division Title. Alex Shelley celebrated with Sabin after the match
* Jake Something defeated Dirty Dango
* Eric Young defeated Kenny King by DQ. Scott D’Amore was at ringside with Young, and Sheldon Jean was with King. The DQ finish led to a tag match, but then The Design interfered. Shark Boy then interrupted and booked an 8-man match as AMW returned
* America’s Most Wanted (James Storm, Chris Harris) and Team Canada (Eric Young, Scott D’Amore) defeated Deaner, Big Kon, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean
* Josh Alexander defeated Impact World Tag Team Champion Trey Miguel
