TNA Impact Wrestling Results – 2/16/16 (Monsters Ball)

 

 

Impact opens up with a highlight of the beef between The Decay and The Wolves and EC3/Matt Hardy. 

 

Backstage EC3 approaches Dixie Carter and she says that she is glad to see him but EC3 cuts her off and says that Matt Hardy has shown his true colors. He says that he is making it his life mission to get him out of TNA and that starts with taking away the World Title. Dixie says that she agrees and she is giving EC3 his rematch next week at Lockdown inside the cage. EC3 says that is next week but he has something to do right now first. 

 

EC3 comes to the ring and he says that he knows who he is and what he has done. He says that he came into TNA 2 years ago with a giant chip on his shoulder. He says that he has defeated legends in the business but he is concerned with only one name right now: Matt Hardy. He says that he gets his rematch next week inside the cage at Lockdown and says that Hardy will be locked inside a cage with EC3’s wrath, fury, and vengeance, but that is next week but he has a problem right now that he needs to take care of with Tyrus. He says that he and Tyrus had a business relationship but Tyrus made another business decision to cost EC3 the World Title. He says that he doesn’t know if Tyrus is babysitting Matt Hardy’s baby right now or even breast feeding him but he needs to put the kid down and come handle this like men. 

 

Tyrus comes out and says that EC3 doesn’t want any part of this. EC3 calls Tyrus “Salami tits” and says that is exactly what he wants. Tyrus says that EC3 has had someone watching his back his entire life so he knows he is afraid to be alone. He says they were once friends and business partners and he even respected EC3 so much he called him boss, but someone that is a boss is someone that takes care of things and handles business. He says that a boss is supposed to be loyal to those that watch his back. Tyrus gets in EC3’s face and says that he will end EC3. EC3 asks Tyrus if he is done and then punches him in the face! 

 

Tyrus and EC3 brawl around the ring and then the fight spills out to the floor. EC3 slams Tyrus into the guardrail and then Matt Hardy runs out and attacks EC3 from behind. They beat EC3 down and Matt Hardy slaps EC3 repeatedly while Tyrus holds him down. Matt pulls out a chair and goes to hit EC3 with it but EC3 mule kicks Tyrus in the balls to get free and then kicks the chair away from Matt. Matt and Tyrus bail out of the ring as EC3 starts swinging the chair around. 

 

Matt Hardy mocks EC3 saying that he is “real tough” with a chair in his hand but says that if EC3 wants his revenge so badly he can do it in a Tag Team Match if he can find someone that can stand him enough to team with him. 

 

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

 

EY and Bram are in the ring as we come back from commercials. EY screams at everyone to look at his title and he says that he is the “King” and a God. He asks if there is anyone in the crowd tough enough to take his title away from him and then says that there isn’t anyone here that can take the title away from him. He says that one person he knows will never be able to take it away from him is Jeff Hardy.

 

Beer Money interrupts EY and Roode says that if EY is looking for someone tough enough then he doesn’t have to look any further than Beer Money. He says that they will be happy to come down and kick both of their asses. EY says that Roode already had his chance and he is at the back of the line now because he is a nothing. Storm tells EY to shut up and he says that last he heard this wasn’t a talk show, it is Impact Wrestling and EY didn’t beat him. He says he came back to TNA to whoop somebodies ass, not run his mouth and he is going to do that right now! 

 

 

Storm clotheslines EY and then whips him into the corner where EY flips over it and lands on his feet. Storm nails him with a Leaping Enziguri and then a Hanging DDT off the ropes for a nearfall. Storm hits the ropes but Bram trips him and EY charges right into an elbow from Storm. Storm kicks Bram away but then walks into an uppercut from EY knocking him through the ropes to the floor. EY dives off the apron with an Axe Handle Drop on Storm and then he and Bram double team Storm while Earl Hebner tries to keep Roode away. EY rolls Storm back in the ring and gets a series of nearfalls. EY puts the boots to Storm and then nails him with a Running Back Elbow as Storm attempted a minor comeback. EY gets another nearfall and then hits a Hangman’s Neckbreaker for yet another nearfall. EY puts Storm in a Rear Chinlock but Storm fights him off with elbows to the ribs. Storm hits the ropes and connects with a Running Forearm and then an Atomic Drop followed by a clothesline. Storm hits the Calf Wrangler for a nearfall and then the Closing Time! Storm goes for the Last Call but Bram hits the ring only to eat a Spear from Roode! Storm tosses EY to the floor as Roode clotheslines Bram to the floor as well. EY slams Storm into the ring steps and then he lays Roode out with a Forearm Smash. Hebner counts both men out as EY/Bram and Beer Money continue to brawl. 

 

 

The brawl spills into the crowd where Storm hits Bram with a beer. 

 

In the back Drew Galloway approaches EC3 and says that he knows EC3 needs a tag team partner. He says that they have a common goal, the World Title, and EC3 says he appreciates the offer but tonight he has to stand alone. Drew says that he respects that but reminds EC3 that he has a shot at the World Title whenever he wants no matter who the champion is and wishes EC3 luck.

 

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

 

Backstage Beer Money continues to brawl with EY and Bram. The fight spills into a laundry room. 

 

Maria comes out and she introduces us to her “future World Heavyweight Champion” and she says that he will inspire us because he inspires her…THE MIRACLE MIKE BENNETT! Am I the only one that absolutely loves everything about Bennett’s entrance? He is one of the few in TNA that doesn’t have a crappy theme. Bennett says that he is a future World Champion and he said it the minute he walked into TNA and all the wrestlers in the back took notice. He says that Kurt Angle took notice and that is why he cheap shotted him and ducked him last week. Bennett says that Drew Galloway is walking around with that briefcase but that briefcase is just a ticking time bomb because Galloway will lose and he will prove to everyone that he is a failure. Bennett says that Kurt Angle has ducked him so he wants to wrestle one of the UK’s own and challenges Mark Andrews to come out to face him. When Mandrews comes out Bennett says that he has seen what Andrews can do in the ring and it has impressed him, but it will take a miracle for him to beat Bennett. Mandrews says that Bennett should shut the hell up and then punches him. 

 

 

Mandrews hits a series of armdrags but then Bennett blocks one only for Mandrews to coutner him with another one. Mandrews goes for a Standing Moonsault but Bennett gets hits boots up and then hits a beautiful Spinebuster. Bennett whips Mandrews in the corner and connects with a Running Clothesline. Bennett whips him into the opposite corner and connects with another Running Clothesline followed by a Running Mafia Kick for a nearfall. Bennett puts Mandrews in a Rear Chinlock but Mandrews fights him off with forearms and then he hits the ropes only to eat a Flapjack from Bennett followed by a Sliding Dropkick for another nearfall. Bennett slaps Mandrews repeatedly which fires Mandrews up causing him to run Bennett into the corner. Mandrews hits a series of chops and forearms and then a Leaping Enziguri as Bennett tried to fend him off! Mandrews hits a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT followed by a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault for a nearfall! Mandrews attempts to whip Bennett into the corner but Bennett reverses it and charges at Mandrews. Mandrews sidesteps Bennett and hits a Leaping Enziguri. Mandrews climbs up top but Bennett crotches him and hits a Tower of London (Hanging Diamond Cutter) followed by a Shortarm Right Hand. Bennett hits the MIP (Miracle In Progress – Fireman’s Carry into a Michinoku Driver) for the pin! 

 

 

After the match Bennett continues to beat on Mandrews and goes for a second MIP but Galloway walks out causing Bennett to put Mandrews down. Bennett dares Galloway to get in the ring but when Drew does Bennett bails out and retreats up the ramp. 

 

In the back Rosemary and The Decay cut a bizarre promo talking about going to a “dance” with nothing to wear. She says that The Wolves will be left laying in a pool of their own blood. Abyss says that Rosemary will be the most beautiful woman at the “ball” and everytime they meet The Wolves they leave them in a pool of their own decay. A weirdo with British accent walks up to The Decay and says that he hasn’t forgotten about Rosemary. Steve gets in the guys face and he tells Steve and Abyss that it has nothing to do with them and then he blows a kiss at Rosemary before leaving. I’m pretty sure that was Jimmy Havoc. 

 

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

 

Backstage Drew says that besides the fact that Bennett is an asshole he got involved out there because Bennett is trying to impose his will on young guys like Mandrews that is the future of the company. Bennett attacks Galloway and Mandrews from behind. Just as Galloway is about to turn the tide on Bennett Maria distracts him and Bennett slams him into a wall. Bennett beats him down and taunts Galloway.

 

A vignette hypes up the debut of “Odarg The Great” which is someone familiar in a mask. 

 

Backstage Matt Hardy and Tyrus approach Rockstar Spud and Matt says that last week Spud stuck his nose in their business which is why Tyrus knocked him out. Hardy guarantees that it won’t happen again as long as Spud doesn’t stick his nose in their business again. He reminds Spud that EC3 is a bad person and he says that you are only as good as the company you keep.
