By Mike Johnson on 2019-11-07 23:00:00

Rob Van Dam (with Katie Forbes) vs. Rhino with Tommy Dreamer as the guest referee.

They said this is being held under Old School Rules.  Oh come on.  That makes me old.

Rhino attacked RVD.  They battled to the floor.  Rhino clotheslined the ring post when RVD ducked.  Van Dam nailed the Ryder Kick.  He brought Rhino back into the ring and nailed the corkscrew legdrop.  A mop was brought into the ring and Rhino used it to choke RVD.  Rhino slammed RVD but missed a splash.  Rhino smashed RVD into a chair.  He snapmared RVD down.  Rhino choked him with the chair.  He placed the chair on RVD's chest and charged to do the Earthquake splash but RVD turned the chair and crotched him.    RVD nailed the skateboarding dropkick in the corner.    RVD went for the chair monkey flip but was caught and powerbombed down on the chair.  Rhino went to the floor and brought in a table but was cut off and catapulted into the bottom rope.  RVD teased a guillotine legdrop but didn't do it to get heat.  He grabbed a trash can.  He wedged it in the corner and set up a table.  Rhino nailed him and put the table in the corner.  RVD avoided being put through the table.  Van Dam nailed the Hollywood Star Press.  Rhino gored him through the table but as Dreamer counted the pinfall, Forbes pulled him out of the ring and clotheslined him. Rhino grabbed her but RVD nailed him.  Rhino nailed a belly to belly suplex.  He went to gore RVD in the corner but was shoved into the trash can that was wedged there.  RVD hit the five star frog splash and scored the pin.

Your winner, Rob Van Dam!

Van Dam celebrated with Forbes but had words with Dreamer before Dreamer would raise his arm.  They shook hands and Van Dam kicked him with a thrust kick.   The RVD heel turn continues.

Jordynne Grace vs. Tenille Dashwood

They had some nice back and forth maneuvers.  Dashwood worked over Grace's arm but was overpowered.  Grace caught her rebounding off the ropes and suplexed her over.  Grace was caught with a kick in the ropes and covered for a two count.  Dashwood locked her in a Tarantula.  Grace rolled her up for a two count.  Grace nailed a big spinebuster for a two count.  Grace nailed a clothesline for a two count.  Dashwood avoided a charge in the corner and nailed a splash, then slammed her for a two count.  Grace caught her in a crucifix and scored the pin.

Your winner, Jordynne Grace!

Taya attacked Grace.  Dashwood made the save and Taya backed off as they both looked at her down on the entrance ramp from the ring.   

Solid all the way through.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Madman Fulton

They faced off and Tessa nailed him with a series of forearms.  He overpowered her and kept sending Tessa into the buckles, then choked her with his boot. He came off the top rope with a stomp,   Tessa fought back with shots to the mid-section but was sent into the buckles.  Fulton picked her up for a powerbomb but she bounced off the ropes and turned it into a sunset flio powerbomb.  She knocked him out of the ring and hit a kick through the ropes, then a tope suicida to the outside.  The crowd chanted for Blanchard.  Blanchard nailed a tornado DDT,  She went to the top but OVE hit the ring.

The referee called for the bell.

Your winner, by DQ, Tessa Blanchard.

They worked over Blanchard until Ken Shamrock's music hit.  He came out and took out the Crists.  He faced off with Fulton but Impact Champion Sami Callihan came out to stop Fulton from engaging Shamrock.

Impact Champion Sami Callihan vs. Ken Shamrock.

The crowd chanted for Shamrock but were tired from the long night.  Sami backed away and was wary of Shamrock early on, then spit in hit face.  Shamrock drilled him.  Callihan dared him to hit him and Shamrock unloaded with knees and strikes.  Callihan went to the floor.  Shamrock followed.  Callihan chopped at him to no effect.  Shamrock stalked him around ringside.  They brawled around ringside.  Callihan got the better of the exchange.  He sent Shamrock hard into the barricade.  He charged but was clotheslined hard by the UFC Hall of Famer.  They battled back into the ring, where Callihan caught him getting in the ring for a two count.   Shamrock made a comeback but Callihan pulled the referee in front of him when Shamrock went for a splash in the corner.  Shamrock locked in the anklelock but there was no referee.  Fulton attacked Shamrock and nailed him with a DDT in an awkward spot.  Shamrock was out so Callihan locked on an anklelock.  Shamrock didn't respond so the referee ruled it a submission.

Your winner and still Impact Wrestling Champion Sami Callihan!

Fulton attacked Shamrock and worked him over.  Callihan told Fulton Ken was all his.  He grabbed him for a suplex and threw him to the floor.  What a nutty bump!!!  Shamrock was Terry Funk level insane for doing that.   Sawyer followed Shamrock to the floor.  Callihan stopped him and said, "No.  Please.  No More."  He calmed Fulton and backed him away from the prone Shamrock.

That's all from NYC!
