Big Vinny V Show: TNA Impact review with ABC vs. Speedball Mountain

In desperate need of credible challengers for any of its champions, TNA opted to book a tag team match to find a challenger for a singles title, because TNA.

That’s just one of the things talked about on this week’s Big Vinny V Show where I review TNA Impact every week.

I should say the resulting match between former TNA Tag Team Champions ABC and Speedball Mountain was a heck of a match, albeit a classic example of more sometimes being less.

Elsewhere, “Broken” Matt Hardy continues to pursue Moose and the TNA World title, The Rascalz take on Jake Something & Cody Deaner in a tornado tag team match, and the latest (promising!) developments in the presentation of Jonathan Gresham, aka the Octopus.

Big Vinny V Show: The build to TNA Rebellion

TNA Sacrifice has come and gone which means it’s time for a reset episode of Impact which I recap on this week’s Big Vinny V Show.

On that note, we had an excellent main event pitting Nic Nemeth & “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Trent Seven against Steve Maclin & The Rascalz — a great TV match that wrapped up two feuds and set up new challengers for TNA World Champion Moose and TNA Tag Team Champions The System. 

The opener was also tremendous with Mustafa Ali defending the X-Division title against Chris Sabin who has suddenly found himself and his Time Machine teammates embroiled in drama.

All this and more in a very quick edition of the Big Vinny V Show!

Nic Nemeth to challenge Moose for World title at TNA Rebellion

After superkicking Moose as part of his first night in the company, Nic Nemeth will finally challenge the TNA Champion at April’s Rebellion pay-per-view.

Nemeth, the current IWGP Global Champion, will be looking for his first taste of TNA gold and his first World singles title since he held the WWE World Heavyweight title in 2013.

Moose is currently in his second TNA World title reign after winning the gold at January’s Hard to Kill — the same event where he was confronted by Nemeth. The leader of The System will be looking for his third title defense.

The two have never shared the ring together.

Moose’s System factionmates will also be in action as TNA Tag Team Champions Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers will defend against Speedball Mountain (Mike Bailey & Trent Seven). 

Edwards and Myers defeated ABC (Chris Bey & Ace Austin) for the titles at last month’s Sacrifice. After Thursday’s trios main event on Impact had concluded, Moose, Edwards and Myers laid out Nemeth, Bailey and Seven to foreshadow the announcements to come.

The bouts are the first two announced for the Saturday, April 20th PPV from the Palms in Las Vegas.

Here’s the current card:

  • TNA World Champion Moose defends against Nic Nemeth
  • TNA Tag Team Champions The System (Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) defend against Speedball Mountain (Mike Bailey & Trent Seven)
