The Motor City Machine Guns up against Heath/Rhino!  Heath has good punches.  MCMGs go all Dragonscrewy.  Heath is basically wrestling the whole match.  I'm assuming he is the Steven Regal to Rhino's Big Daddy.  Rhino hits a nice Spinebuster.  The Major Players interfere and that makes this suck.  Awesome!  Savannah Evens versus Taya Valkyrie!  Well, this should be STIFF!  This is great.  Taya bumps big to the floor.  Evans hits a nice Butterfly Suplex.  Taya hits a SWEET Rana.  BLUE THUNDER BOMB by Taya!  Taya goes all Negro Navarro with the tricked out submissions.  Full Nelson Slam by Evans for the win!  That was great.  Cody Deaner killed Eric Young and now he runs Violent By Design!  Sami Callihan takes on Kon! It's a bit of a hoss fight.  Deaner is going for a House Of Black feel.  Kon is your Brodie King.  Alan Angels is you Buddy Matthews.  They have some gaps to fill in.  This match is good.   Nice Roaring Elbow by Callihan.  Deaner CHEATS!  Kon hits a midgrade Death Valley Driver for the win!  That was also good.  Allright!  It's Speedball Mike Bailey versus Josh Alexander!  Awesome!  Josh Alexander is wrestling heel because he's pissed off by Bully Ray.  Bailey is the best babyface in IMPACT! so this should be great.  Alexander is beating the crud out of Bailey.  GREAT fuckin Backbreaker by Alexander.  Fun comeback by Bailey that Alexander cuts off with a series of German Suplexes ending with a fucking EVEREST GERMAN SUPLEX HOLD!  Bailey is great working the shoulder of Alexander, especially a crazy Keylock that Bailey works into a Poison Rana!  Alexander goes back to beating the shit out of Bailey.  Alexander has tried for the C-4 twice and Bailey countered out.  He tries a third time and his shoulder gives out!  This match is fucking great. HOLY SHIT!  He goes for it again but Bailey causes both to bump HUGE to the floor!  SWEET Silver King Moonsault to the floor.  So they should have Bailey become a rival to Alexander from here on out.  Jesus, they are really fucking laying it in.  OH GOLLY!  Great slam onto the Apron by Alexander.  Alexander is carrying this match on him beating the fuck out of Bailey and Bailey making comebacks.  Alexander is Ric Flair in this.  GREAT Sycho Sid Helicopter Powerbomb by Alexander!  ULTIMATE WEAPON BY BAILEY!  But he's too busted up to make the cover!  JESUS! FUKCING GNARLY HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX by Alexander.  Alexander hits two NASTY Olympic Slams, the second from the toprope.  Maat Reiwoldt says Bully Ray not taking Alexander challenge is our gain.  Yeah, I would think that Bully Ray would be a crappy substitute for Speedball.  This match is so fucking good.  Great fucking transition from an ankle lock into a Tombstone BACK into an Anklelock!  Bailey selling the Anklelock was fucking beautiful.  ULTIMATE WEAPON AGAIN!  Alexander hits the ropes!  Styles Clash into an Ankle Lock!  GREAT FUCKING PILEDRIVER into the NASTIEST C-4 EVER! AND ANOTHER!  FOR THE WIN!  WHAT A GREAT FUCKING PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING MATCH!  Jesus Christ, that match was fucking great.

Unbelievable main event. That was insane. Awesome stuff. I loved that Ultima Weapon towards the end, looked brutal and an amazing hope spot. Josh's super sudden piledriver right before the finish was epic as well.  Very reminiscent of the Cena/Michaels 07 RAW match, I loved that they did the "upcoming match is delayed to next week because of how long this went", and that they actually got an overrun was super cool and made this stand out as something really different. Both guys having career years. Definitely gonna give this a rewatch on the replay.

Elsewhere, I love seeing Savannah Evans continue to get more shine, she's doing great. Very solid match with Taya here.

Friday Reflections:  Just watched the entire 59:45 match and it rules just as much the second time.  I loved that IMPACT! COMMENTARIAT were plugged in to the parts that were during the commercial break.  Being the best in the entire world, it was seamless.  Man, Josh Alexander wrestling hard-edged is the fucking best.  I love that he kept the Ankle Lock on for the entire four count after Speedball makes the ropes.  I heard an interview with Alexander earlier this week and he said the reason he didn't jump to AEW was mainly because he said that only the top 20% get to wrestle in real wrestling matches.  This was better than his other hour long match- that great match against TJ Perkins back when he was X-Division champion.  Speedball Bailey is fucking GREAT.  His selling in this match was a key to its success, so to pass him off as some kind of spot monkey is very incorrect.  The main problem with Josh Alexander in IMPACT! is that he doesn't quite have enough opponents- he's got Eddie Edwards, a couple of guys they can borrow from New Japan and Speedball.  Maybe Steve Maclin and Black Taurus.  Nothing else matches his level (Rich Swann, Trey Miguel).  AEW should send Konosuke Takeshita in to invade just so Alexander can go 60 minutes with him.  Man, what a match.
