Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 3.30.16: TNA Impact

By Brandon Albright, @B_Rock1978

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE, has returned with your TNA Impact Recap Edition.

TNA Impact took place at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. Ethan Carter continues his war with Matt Hardy and Mike Bennett as we get a handicap match and a six man tag involving all three men. The Beautiful People, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, go one on one to determine a second #1 contender to the TNA Knockouts Championship. The Pope makes a challenge to Bobby Lashley. The now reunited BroMans take on Eric Young and Bram in tag team action. Shane Helms has a proposition for Eddie Edwards of The Wolves. In the main event, Drew Galloway defends the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy.

*** Impact ***

- Matt Hardy Promo: Matt promises a protest, calls Jeff Hardy a traitor and demands his rematch now. Mike Bennett's music hits and out comes Mike and Maria Bennett. Bennett says Hardy needs to relax, cool down, no one wants to see either of the Hardy's wrestle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, TNA needs a miracle and when Bennett wins the title we'll believe in miracles. Reby Hardy says the Bennett's need to leave, Matt is the greatest wrestler ever, calls Maria "fire crotch" and threatens to shove her ear ring down Maria's throat after Maria asks Reby if she knows how to be a lady. Matt says they could all be friends, but Bennett has no respect and needs to get in the back of the line on the pecking order. Bennett says he used to respect Matt, Matt is a future hall of famer, but is now washed up. Matt calls Bennett insignificant like Ethan Carter and says he'll fight Bennett right now. EC3 arrives and says Matt, Tyrus and Spud are TNA's three stooges, except they are really EC3's "Three Bitches". EC3 says he prayed to GOD to find Bennett a spot for his career in the after life, thinks he's going to use EC3 to make a name for himself, but EC3 will make sure Bennett's career rots in hell. Bennett says TNA needs a miracle and will decide where and when to fight EC3. EC3 tells Bennett to leave, go get his $4 haircut and isn't leaving till he's fighting someone tonight. Matt says EC3 can fight Matt, Tyrus and Spud tonight. EC3 accepts even though Reby is the only one with balls on Team Hardy.

- "3-on-1 Handicap Match": Ethan Carter vs. Matt Hardy, Tyrus and Rockstar Spud: The match closes out with EC3 dumping Tyrus to the floor and catching Spud in mid air as he attempted a cross body. EC3 goes for a press slam, but Spud rakes the eyes to escape. Spud goes for a Twist Of Fate, but EC3 traps Spud in a cobra clutch submission. Mike Bennett hits the ring and attacks EC3, causing a DQ. After the match, EC3 gets the 4-on-1 beat down until Beer Money hits the ring. Beer Money clears the ring and grabs a mic. Beer Money was drinking beer and heard that everyone wants to fight tonight, so Beer Money and EC3 are ready to go and demand a six man tag team match right now.
Winner: Ethan Carter, by DQ.

- "Six Man Tag Team Match": Beer Money and Ethan Carter vs. Matt Hardy, Tyrus and Mike Bennett: The match closes out with Bennett running away after getting a EC3 clothesline to the floor. Tyrus knocks Roode off the top rope, but catches a Last Call from Storm. Beer Money double suplex Tyrus and Hardy. Beer Money goes for the DWI, but Tyrus dumps Storm to the floor. Roode goes for the Roode Bomb on Hardy, but Tyrus breaks it up. Hardy hits the Twist Of Fate on Roode and scores the pinfall.
Winners: Matt Hardy, Tyrus and Mike Bennett, by pinfall.

- Backstage, Gail Kim says she's been waiting two months for a match with Maria Bennett, but Maria's all talk and talked her way out of her match and gave it to Jade. Gail offers Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky a shot at becoming a #1 contender too, so they can throw off Maria's plan.

- Backstage, The BroMans are back, but feel rusty. Eli Drake interrupts and mocks Jesse Godderz for his alliance switch. The BroMans mock Drake and his bad breath. Drake tells the BroMans to go back into their hole and not come back. Godderz says no, they need to go tan.

- "#1 Contenders Match": Madison Rayne vs. Velvet Sky: The match closes out with Madison landing a northern lights suplex. Velvet lands a boot, a neck breaker and a near fall running bulldog on Madison. Velvet sends Madison into the ring post and goes for In Your Face. Madison counters and backslides Velvet for the pinfall.
Winner: Madison Rayne, by pinfall, making Madison Rayne and Jade both #1 Contenders to the TNA Knockouts Championship.

- Backstage, TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Drew Galloway, calls Jeff Hardy the real deal and Matt Hardy a son of a bitch. Galloway looks to beat Jeff and further cement his TNA legacy. 

- The Pope Promo: Pope says he's been a loyal TNA staff member, but needed to step up and help Josh Matthews when Bobby Lashley attacked him. Lashley wastes no time and interrupts The Pope. Lashley says Pope is just an announcer, needs to apologize and go back to calling matches or else take a Lashley beating. Pope says he and Lashley started in the business together, but somewhere along the way Lashley got lost. Pope refuses to apologize, has no regrets, but would regret if he didn't challenge Lashley to a match. Lashley says if its a fight Pope wants, than Pope is getting hurt really bad. Lashley tells Pope to leave, but Pope instead hits Lashley with the microphone. Lashley storms back and unloads punches on Pope. TNA Officials hit the ring and separate both men. Pope goes right back after Lashley, but gets planted with a Lashley spine buster. Pope dodges the spear and sends Lashley to the floor. Pope takes out some TNA Officials and then hits a flying cross body on Lashley. Lashley attacks TNA Security as both men are finally held back.

- Backstage, Matt Hardy is still fuming over Jeff Hardy getting a match against Drew Galloway for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

- Eric Young and Bram vs. The BroMans: Before the match Eric Young flies off the handle about Jeff Hardy. EY blames Bram for them being on a losing streak and says he's just going to sit back tonight, watch Jeff Hardy win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, just so EY can swoop in and take it from Hardy. The match closes out with The BroMans hitting the Hart Attack Clothesline and score the pinfall.
Winners: The BroMans, by pinfall.

- Backstage, Al Snow attacks Grado and Mahabali Shera from behind with a lead pipe. Snow beats both men down and tells Grado he doesn't belong in TNA.

- Shane Helms and Eddie Edwards Face To Face Promo: Helms says when you think of revolutionary tag teams, The Wolves come to mind. Edwards shows his gratitude and says he and Davey Richards need to show that they are the best. With Richards out with an injury, Edwards wants to prove he can wrestle as a singles wrestler too. Helms offers to be Edwards' tag team partner so they can go after Beer Money and the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Helms says he'll give Edwards a week to think about it.

- "TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match": Drew Galloway (c) vs. Jeff Hardy: The match closes out with Jeff getting a near fall Swanton Bomb. Jeff sends Galloway outside and onto the steel steps. Jeff goes for another Swanton Bomb, but Galloway gets the knees up for the block. Galloway tosses Jeff back into the ring and nails the Future Shock DDT to score the pinfall. After the match, Matt Hardy comes out. Matt says he's getting what he wants, wanted Jeff to win, but enjoys seeing Jeff's fans cry. Matt says next week he's getting his revenge and getting his rematch for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Galloway says the only thing Matt is good at is pissing Galloway off and is willing to defend the title now. Bram and Eric Young hit the ring and attack Jeff Hardy. Galloway makes the save by hitting a double Claymore on EY and Bram. Jeff challenges EY to a Six Sides Of Steel Cage Match next week to end the show.
Winner: Drew Galloway, by pinfall, to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Taker guarantees Wrestlemania will not be his last, Shane McMahon's blood will be on Vince McMahon's hands, Wrestlemania is his yard, Hell In A Cell is his playground and Shane McMahon will Rest In Peace. Shane McMahon's music hits and out comes Shane O'Mac. Shane says he'll be fighting to win and Taker will be fighting not to lose. Shane says no matter what shape he's in after Wrestlemania, he'll be on the RAW after, because he will be officially in charge of RAW. Shane says if he has to end Taker's legacy to create his own, then so be it. Shane gets in Taker's face and tells Taker that his legacy actually died two years ago when Brock Lesnar ended the streak.

Taker goes for the Last Ride, but Shane counters out and lands a kick. Shane grabs a production case under the ring and unloads head shots on Taker with it repeatedly.

Winner: Kalisto, by pinfall.

- Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman Promo: Heyman says that this Sunday we will all get to see a once in a lifetime human athlete and there always is that one fool that wants a piece of Lesnar. Heyman gives Dean Ambrose credit, Ambrose thinks making the match a no holds barred street fight gives him a chance. Heyman gives away a spoiler and says Brock Lesnar wins at Wrestlemania. Dean Ambrose heads to the ring with a wagon and begins filling it with weapons. Ambrose also grabs the top part of the steel steps and leaves not once taking notice to Lesnar and playing mind games, ending the segment.

On The Mark 3.25.16: Cleveland Browns Offseason #Browns #RG3

Browns sign Robert Griffin III to a 2 year deal, first round pick now up in the air
By Mark West, @MarkW2112

The Cleveland Browns, with new head coach Hue Jackson leading the way, have signed Robert Griffin III to a 2 year, $15 million contract with incentives that could lead to a total of $22 million.  It's a big splash for a team that said they wouldn't make any during this offseason. Jackson has said that during the private workout, he said he"felt the earth shake" with the way RG3 was able to roll out and hit his practice receivers.  RG3 also has said he sees this as a new opportunity for him to restart his career.  He said he is open to the Browns selecting a quarterback with the 2nd pick of the 2016 NFL draft, stating he would "take him under his wing".  

My opinion: This is a great signing for the Browns.  Obviously, many are of the mindset that RG3 lost his starting job to fourth round pick Kirk Cousins and that he was a locker room cancer.  My opinion is this; he's a low risk, high reward signing that has better leadership upside than Johnny Manziel and gives the Browns options with the #2 pick in the draft.  Hue Jackson is a "quarterback whisperer" and has had huge success with quarterbacks he's worked with, especially the last 2 years with Andy Dalton in Cincinnati.

While the term "locker room cancer" has been thrown around RG3, he never once acted out against his coaches and took his benching in stride. It's possible the experience has humbled him and that he is ready for a new chapter in his life.

The biggest issues facing him are the key losses of Alex Mack at center and Mitchell Schwartz at right tackle.  There is the unknown with Cameron Erving, who was less than average last year and will be looked at as the new center as well as Austin Pasztor, who was solid at which ever line position he played last year but is still a bit of an unknown at right tackle.  Even bigger than that is the wide receiver core the Browns have right now. Currently, their best receiver is Gary Barnidge, the tight end. Josh Gordon is still an unknown (though the Browns are moving forward without him) and there are no other real number 1 type receivers on the roster.  It would appear that things won't be easy for RG3.

Unless Jackson, Sashi Brown and the rest of the Browns front office have a plan that they aren't leading on, this will more than likely be a tough year for Griffin.  He must have been sold on the plan for 2016 if he had enough faith to come to Cleveland, where he has the possibility of being the 25th starting quarterback since 1999.

In the end, it remains that the Browns have a quarterback that they didn't need to trade crucial draft picks for.  It also gives them the chance to perhaps select a quarterback later in the draft and use the 2nd pick for a player like Jalen Ramsey or even trade down with the potential of getting more draft picks.  With this signing, the draft appears to be up in the air.
