Impact Recap: 2nd August
So we've arrived at this time of the week again where the Impact Recap becomes a must read.
Allie & Keira Hogan Vs. Su Yung & Undead Bridesmaid
I love how the undead bridesmaid just always stay in character, they never go to the back they stay in character all the time match starts off with a suicide dive by Kiera Hogan quickly followed by a top rope crossbody which takes out like 7 undead bridesmaids. Su Yung hits the panic switch on Kiera but she rolls to the outside. Then Allie hits the code breaker on Su Yung and Allie has pinned the Knockouts champion. After the match, Tessa Blanchard attacks Allie after the match and shouting that she’s going to make an example out of her. Now, I'm not usually a fan of the champion being pinned but we'll see where it goes. This was a strong opening segment to the show.
Backstage with Tessa Blanchard saying the 1 major difference is that she knows what she wants and that's the Knockouts title. She also calls Allie selfish.

The OGz Vs. Nathan Smokes & Ray Steel
The OGs who are not the tag champs but they have the belts and possession in 9 tenths of the law so do with that as you will. They are facing Nathan Smokes and Ray Steel. The match lasted about 30 seconds, a quick double backbreaker and then the gringo killer by homicide.
King says he told them so and says chant for LAX but they are not here and guess what? They were here! Irony! LAX storm the ring throw Hernandez out of the ring and Ortiz had a weapon - no it wasn't a chair, a kendo stick or something that you would usually find under a wrestling ring HE HAD AN AXE. AN AXE now obviously security stopped him at least you'd hope they would. So then Konan gets lax to retreat and they still don't have the tag belts back.
Lax backstage screaming at Konan saying they had them right where they want them. Konan responds “Don't come at them with anger that's what they want I knew that was a trap cause I taught them everything they know." unfortunately King never said his catchphrase which I love. "When you come at the King you best not miss".
oVe cam with Sami Callahan saying they are going to get their revenge tonight in the brothers vs brothers tag team match. What I really liked about this backstage bit was when Callahan put his hat on,he had the ponytail from the guys hair he cut in the toilets on his hat. It's these details which is why impacts reputation is being built back up.

oVe Vs. Pentagon Jr. & Fenix
Its good seeing Callahan selling his broken arm. The main story of the match was ove trying to take off the masks of the brother they even tied the marks together then the match really went up a gear when Ove looked to have the match won but Fenix somehow kicked out of a pile driver stomp tag team move then pentagon hit the fear factor with an assisted stomp by Fenix but jake Crist breaks it up and finally a second fear factor which won it for the lucha brothers.
Killer Kross ends the show backstage by putting his mark down and revealing he attacked Anthony Carelli. There was only one singles match in this episode the rest were tag team matches (big Vince wouldn't be happy with that) but it didn't bother me cause I didn't notice till I was looking at my notes but I enjoyed the episode so I'm not complaining.
