Mance Warner vs. Eric Young vs. Trey Miguel vs. Home Town Man vs. Ryan Nemeth vs. Brian Myers in a Turkey Bowl match
Gia Miller and Tom Hannifan were on the call.
Ryan Nemeth snuck in the ring after hiding for the majority of the match and went after Brian Myers only to get hit with a Roster Cut and a pinfall. Nemeth tried to escape instead of putting on the suit but got hit with a Sliced Bread from HTM. Miguel, Myers and HTM then put the woozy Nemeth in the suit who eventually woke up and was extremely embarrassed.
Match Result: Brian Myers won the annual Turkey Bowl match
-They featured another Mr. Elegance search promo from The Elegance Brand.
Leon Slater & Mike Santana vs. Trick Williams & Mustafa Ali
Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt were on the call.
This match was from September 2025 during the Minneapolis, Minnesota, tapings. Williams was still TNA World Champion at the time. Santana was about to hit Ali with the Spin the Block when Order 4 interfered for the DQ.
The beatdown continued afterward with Order 4 attacking Santana as Williams took off. Ali was about to put Santana through a table when Slater hit a Terminator Dive on all of Order 4 and gave Ali to Santana. Santana was about to hit a Razor’s Edge on Ali through a table when Order 4 grabbed him before it could happen.
Slater and Santana then got one of the Order 4 stooges and put him through a table instead.
Match Result: Leon Slater & Mike Santana defeated Trick Williams & Mustafa Ali by DQ
Ryan Nemeth vs. Krampus
Hannifan and Miller were on the call.
This was billed as a Christmas vs. Thanksgiving match which is a sentence I just wrote. Nemeth got the win after thumbing Krampus in the eye and getting a roll-up with tights for the win.
Match Results: Ryan Nemeth defeated Krampus
-They had an emotional Lei Ying Lee promo following her TNA Knockouts title win this past Tuesday.
Jeff Hardy & Joe Hendry concert
This was an off-air segment from this past July in Kingston, Rhode Island. Hendry came out first with a guitar. He sang his song and then said Jeff Hardy’s name and out he came in full face paint. Hendry put over The Hardys and then Hardy sang his “Modest” theme song while Hendry played guitar.
Hendry and Hardy then played and sang Creed’s “My Sacrifice” which fans remember as a song used in a classic WWE Hardy promo. Fans were lighting up their phones, but there weren’t a ton of them there and the amount of empty seats were pretty obvious.
The Nemeth Brothers then made their appearance, marking the third time Ryan had been on this special. As you might expect, they insulted Hardy and Hendry and Ryan insisted he sing a song he wrote for his big brother. That didn’t get going as Hardy and Hendry took out the heels to send them packing.
-They played an Ash by Elegance segment from their Immersed feature on her.
-They played a November 2007 segment with everyone having a Thanksgiving feast. This was something to behold with then-TNA World Champion Kurt Angle, Jay Lethal in his Black Machismo gimmick, Jeremy Borash, Sonjay Dutt, So Cal Val, Dustin Rhodes, Karen (then Angle) Jarrett, Chris Harris, James Storm, Team 3D, and others. As you might expect, a food fight broke out.
Ryan Nemeth, Jake Something & First Class vs. Leon Slater, Moose, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards
Rehwoldt and Hannifan were on the call.
Yes, fans: Ryan Nemeth made a FOURTH appearance on this two-hour special. That’s nearly Don Callis territory.
The end came when Myers got the hot tag to Slater who ran wild on the turkey suit-clad Nemeth. He hit his big high crossbody, but everyone ran in to break it up.
Nemeth nearly had Slater pinned with a roll-up and handful of tights, but Slater kicked out, hit a leg lariat and then finished Nemeth off with his swanton 450.
Match Result: Leon Slater, Moose, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards defeated Ryan Nemeth, Jake Something & First Class (AJ Francis and Rich Swann)
