This week's Impact Wrestling on AXS TV episode was mostly made up of Thanksgiving clips from the past. So, our report won't be as detailed as usual.
They showed the 2008 Turkey Bowl, where Rhino pinned Alex Shelley, forcing him to wear the turkey suit:

There was a backstge vignette where Deaner and the other Violent by Design cultists were asking Eric Young about his loss at Over Drive. Young said they have to go back to where it all began. I am guessing they are going back to the prison where the vignettes for the group started?

They showed Rich Swann winning the six way elimination match at Over Drive.
Backstage, Kenny King cut a promo saying he could have won but was more focused on Speedball than winning. He said he would expose the fraud that is Bailey:
