Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 6.6.14: TNA Impact

What's up gang, it's Friday and it's time for the TNA Impact recap for the week. In last weeks episode of Impact, the biggest story was "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe returning and making a big statement on how he felt about MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley's three man power trip. Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Eric Young, Bully Ray and The Wolves seem to have formed an alliance in their war with Dixie Carter, Ethan Carter III, Rockstar Spud, MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Magnus and Bram still are at odds with each other in their feud with Jeff "Willow" Hardy. The Menagerie freak show returned to wreck havoc on The BroMans. Madison Rayne demanded her rematch against Angelina Love for the TNA Knockouts Title. Let's recap this week's episode.

Highlights of Impact:
- Samoa Joe kicked off Impact in the ring telling MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley that they can stop looking for him cause he's bringing the fight to them. The Power Trio come to the ring and trade insults with Joe about power, greed and disrespect. Joe wants to fight all three of them tonight. Austin Aries comes to the ring and backs up Joe, and tells MVP he only wants to fight when it's in his favor. MVP makes a career match tonight between Samoa Joe and Austin Aries. If Joe wins he gets his job back but Aries will be fired if he loses.
- Dixie Carter tells MVP he's out of line for making Joe and Aries fight with their jobs on the line. MVP says he can do whatever he wants cause he's in charge.
- Samoa Joe faces Austin Aries with their jobs on the line. Eric Young comes out and tells the referee to do the right thing and not cost Joe or Aries their careers. The referee doesn't listen and continues officiating. Bully Ray comes to the ring and knocks out the referee. MVP comes to the ring and says they can't do this. Bully and EY say they just did the right thing to do. Bully Ray then challenges MVP, King, Lashley and Ethan Carter III to a "First Blood Match" against Bully, EY, Austin and Joe. King accepts the challenge without MVP's permission. MVP didn't seem too happy with King.
- Jeff "Willow" Hardy and Bram go one on one. Bram goes to use a crowbar on Hardy but Magnus stops Bram. Magnus however uses the weapon to beat Hardy with. Looks like Bram and Magnus are finally on the same page.
- MVP makes The Wolves, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards face each other after The Wolves call MVP a liar and a puppet master. MVP says they should be thanking him for getting The Wolves jobs. Edwards defeats Richards however Kenny King comes out and threatened to take their tag titles because it didn't look like they were trying to hurt each other. The Wolves attack King in return.
- Mr. Anderson, dressed in cowboy gear mocks James Storm. James Storm comes out and trades words with Anderson before getting into another altercation. Storm hits "The Last Call" on Anderson then challenges him to a match at Slammiversary.
- Madison Rayne gets her Knockouts Title rematch however comes up short as Angelina Love cheats again as Velvet Sky sprays hair spray in Rayne's eyes allowing Love to grab a roll up pin.
- The Menagerie freak show faction attack The BroMans again.
- The "First Blood Match" is our main event of the evening. Team Bully Ray picks up the win as Bully beats the hell out of ECIII with a chain, busting him open. After the match, MVP, King and Lashley beat the hell out of ECIII backstage. Dixie Carter arrives and tells MVP he's gone too far and just started a war that he'll want no part of. And that closed out the show for this week.

Quick Match Results:
- Willow def. Bram by DQ.
- Eddie Edwards def. Davey Richards by pin.
- Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries ends in a no contest.
- TNA Knockout Title: Angelina Love (c) def. Madison Rayne by pin.
- "First Blood Match" Team Bully def. Team MVP after ECIII gets busted open.

Other News:
- Abyss has just topped a milestone in the company. Abyss, as of June 2nd has held the TNA TV Title for over a year now. Funny thing is TNA have not had him defend it or have not even mentioned anything about what happen to the Title.

TNA Slammiversary Match Card:
- TNA World Title: Eric Young (c) vs MVP
- "Texas Death Match": Bully Ray vs. EC3
- TNA Knockouts Title: Angelina Love (c) vs. Gail Kim

-The Cavs have interviewed five candidates to fill their vacant coaching job so far. Those who have been interviewed are Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue, Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, former Bulls and Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro, former Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins and veteran coach Alvin Gentry. The Cavs have been mum about any front runners in their search so far, but all I can say is that it will be a assistant coach or one of two former head coaches. It could be possible that the Cavs may want to interview an assistant coach that's still in the playoffs or a assistant who was recently eliminated from the playoffs. Another possibility is the Cavs can hire one of fired Mike Brown's assistant coaches. Remember, Brown was the only one fired not his staff. I do believe they will hire someone before the NBA draft on June 26, but it's obvious they want to do a thorough search.

-Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington was suspended for one year for violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. His violation was a positive test for marijuana. The one year suspension also means he was in stage 3 of the substance abuse policy. Well, so is Browns WR Josh Gordon. This tells me that a decision on Josh Gordon can happen at any minute. Gordon has appealed his suspension, and if we even hear the words Josh Gordon and NFL in the same sentence that will mean he is suspended. If we hear nothing at all from the NFL that means Gordon won his appeal and the NFL will not release a statement. At the time this piece was written, I have not heard anything. So like the old saying goes "No news is good news".

-Five straight wins by the Indians means they are not only rockin', but they are rolling too. Yesterday's 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox puts them 4 1/2 games behind the first place Detroit Tigers. Do you remember just two weeks ago they were ten games out and a possible seller for the trade deadline?

Indians pitcher Nick Hagadone got his first win of the season, even though T.J House got the start. House left the game pitching 5 2/3 innings, giving up 2 earned runs, 4 strikeouts and a 3-2 lead. Marc Rzepczynski came in to close out the sixth inning followed by Scott Atchinson in the seventh inning, who gave up a earned run to give House the no decision. With the score tied 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh, Michael Bourn hits a two run double to give the Tribe a 5-3 lead. Cody Allen pitched 1 1/3 innings to record his fifth save of the season. The Indians will wrap the series up and go for their second straight sweep today with Boston at 7:05. And the good luck charm is Johnny "F'N" Football throwing out the first pitch. I can't forget the Browns FIRST, first round pick, cornerback Justin Gilbert, will also throw a first pitch too.

-The Florida Gators completed the sweep of Alabama to win the Women's College World Series. The Gators dominated in their 6-3 win over the Crimson Tide. Lauren Haegar got the start for the Gators but Delanie Gourley got the win. Hannah Rogers recorded the save for the Gators. Alabama pitcher Jaclyn Traina was rocked early, giving up a homerun and a few key base hits to give the Gators a early lead that they never lost. At one point Florida was up 5-0. What a great season of college softball. Rogers and Traina will continue playing for Team USA, so this will not be the last of softball you hear from me. Congrats Florida, Go Team USA!

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 6.3.14: WWE Raw

It's Tuesday afternoon and its another edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon. Last night's RAW served as the first live event after Sunday night's WWE Payback. WWE's next event will be WWE Money In The Bank on June 29th. What feuds developed last night? Read the recap below and find out!

Highlights of RAW:
- The show kicks off with Triple H promising that Evolution will give The Shield what is coming to them tonight. Batista interrupts and tells Triple H that he's done fighting The Shield and wants his WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match that he was promised. Triple H says Daniel Bryan is still injured and no one is getting what they want until The Shield is finished. Triple H reminds Batista that he is the boss and what he says goes. Triple H apologizes for getting out of hand with his power but Batista quits. Triple H asks Batista if he's going to run back to Hollywood and if he does he will never work for the WWE again.
- Sheamus teams up with Rob Van Dam and takes on their Payback opponents from last night, Cesaro and Bad News Barrett. Sheamus and RVD pick up the victory. Cesaro and Paul Heyman walk out on Barrett in the closing moments of the match.
- Damien Sandow now dressed like Indiana Pacer, Lance Stephenson, comes out and rips on the Indiana crowd and calls LeBron James the best player of all time. Big Show comes out and knocks Sandow out with the left punch.
- Bo Dallas rips on the Indiana crowd saying that the Miami Heat won because they all "Bo-Lieve". Dallas beats Kofi Kingston and stays undefeated.
- Stephanie McMahon announced that Daniel Bryan will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money In The Bank against Kane in a Stretcher Match. If he cannot defend the title then he will be stripped of the title and it will be put up in the Money In The Bank ladder match. John Cena comes out and stands up for Daniel Bryan and says if Stephanie was evaluated as a boss she'd get a zero. Stephanie makes Cena fight Kane. The match ends in a DQ when Kane refuses to let up on Cena in the corner. Kane and Cena brawl after the match until WWE officials separate both men.
- Adam Rose stays undefeated with a pinfall victory on Jack Swagger.
The Wyatt Family continued their feud with The Usos as Harper and Rowan faced Jimmy and Jey in tag team action. The Wyatt's pick up the win.
- Goldust teams with Sin Cara in his rematch with Curtis Axel and Ryback from Payback. Cody Rhodes hand picked Sin Cara to team with his brother tonight. Axel and Ryback are victorious.
- Rusev and his manager Lana announce that Rusev has been given the Russian Hero Award and Golden Star Award by Mother Russia. The Russia national anthem played and confetti fell from the rafters as the fans booed and chanted "USA".
- Main Event of the evening was supposed to see Roman Reigns going one on one with Randy Orton. The Shield came out together and said they won last night because they are close like brothers unlike Evolution that didn't work well together. Randy Orton comes out with Triple H who has his sledgehammer in hand. Rollins grabs a steel chair as The Shield are ready to go at it with Evolution again. Triple H says one thing he does best is adapt. Last night was plan A and tonight is plan B. Out of nowhere, Rollins connects with chair shots on Reigns and Ambrose, turning his back on The Shield. Triple H, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins drill Reigns and Ambrose with chair shots over and over. Rollins hits the "Curb Stomp" on Ambrose and Orton hits an "RKO" on Reigns. The show closes out with Triple H, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins celebrating as the new Evolution.

Quick Match Results:
- Sheamus and RVD def. Bad News Barrett and Cesaro by pin.
- Bo Dallas def. Kofi Kingston by pin.
- John Cena def. Kane by DQ.
- Los Matadores def. 3MB by pin.
- Alicia Fox and Aksana def. Nikki Bella by pin.
- Adam Rose def. Jack Swagger by pin.
- The Wyatt Family def. The Usos by pin.
- Alberto Del Rio def. Dolph Ziggler by submission.
- Curtis Axel and Ryback def. Goldust and Sin Cara by pin.
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns never starts.

And that wraps up this edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon. I will be MIA for next week's RAW recap as I will be in Las Vegas for my honeymoon. I will return Tuesday June 17th with the RAW recap for the June 16th show, which takes place live in Triple Threat Podcast's hometown of Cleveland! Till then tap or snap!

Leadoff with Lee 6.3.14

-Yesterday, the Browns added some depth and competition at cornerback by signing Aaron Berry. He played for Mike Pettine in 2012 when Pettine was defensive coordinator for the New York Jets. Berry, 25, comes with a little baggage. He was arrested in July 2012 for aiming a gun at 3 bystanders in Pennsylvania. He's also been arrested for assult and driving under the influence after he hit two parked cars and fled the scene on foot. The Detroit Lions cut him after the assult and DUI charges the next day in 2012. When he signed with the Jets after being cut, he served a 3 game suspension and played in 7 games that season. Last year he tore his ACL in the preseason and was placed on injured reserve for the year.

Now this story brings me back to Josh Gordon. Josh Gordon never pulled a gun on anyone, assaulted anybody, nor been arrested for anything. This tells me the new regime is willing to give players with checkered pasts a chance. With Gordon still playing under his rookie contract, the Browns have a star receiver for a very low price. One of two things will happen to the Browns and Josh Gordon. Either he is suspended for a year and the Browns don't have to pay him. Or he wins his appeal or suspension is reduced, therefore his salary will be pro-rated and the Browns have a rising star. This is why I don't think the Browns will make any moves with Gordon.

-The NBA released their first and second team All-NBA Defensive teams yesterday.
First team
Center: Joakim Noah, Chicago (leading vote getter)
Forwards: Paul George, Indiana; Serge Ibaka, Oklahoma City; Andre Iguodala Guard/Forward, Golden State
Guard: Chris Paul, LA Clippers

Second Team
Forwards: Lebron James, Miami; Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio
Guards: Patrick Beverly, Houston; Jimmy Butler, Chicago
Center: Roy Hibbert, Indiana

-Justin Masterson broke the Boston Red Sox 7 game win streak and the Indians have a four game win streak. The Tribe defeated the Red Sox 3-2, as Masterson struck out 10 and improved his record to 3-4 for the season. Rightfielder David Murphy went 3-3 and Michael Bourn went 2-3, scoring 2 runs off of his efforts. Former Indian Grady Sizemore went 0-4 with 2 strikeouts for Boston. But yesterday, it was all about the Justin Masterson show. He pitched 7 innings, gave up 3 hits, 0 earned runs and only 4 walks. Relief pitcher Bryan Shaw came on in the 8th and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and seen only 2 batters on the night before he was replaced by Marc Rzepczynski. Cody Allen sealed the deal for the Tribe in the 9th to record his 4th save on the season. The Indians will battle the Red Sox again today and Browns running back Ben Tate will throw out the first pitch.

-In Women's College World Series action, the Florida Gators defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 5-0 in the first game of three. Florida pitcher Hannah Rogers had a perfect game going and a one hitter going into the bottom of the seventh. Jackie Traina for Alabama went 6 1/3 innings and gave up 5 runs. Traina has only allowed one earned run in her first three games of the World Series. Interesting story between Hannah Rogers and Jackie Traina. These two have known each other since little league softball. They battled each other throughout high school, knocking each other out of high school playoff games. And the battle has continued throughout college. Florida is now one win away from winning the College Softball National Championship.

Today In Cleveland Sports History: Armando Galarraga's Near No-No

Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers nearly pitched a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians on June 2, 2010. After retiring 26 straight batters, first base umpire Jim Joyce incorrectly ruled batter, Jason Donald, reached first base safely on a ground ball. Galarraga finished with a 1 hit 3-0 win over the Indians. After the game Jim Joyce seen the replays and tearfully apologized for making the wrong call. Galarraga was very understanding and accepted Joyce's apology. The next day Joyce still tearful exchanged lineup cards with Galarraga and they shook hands. This game has been labeled the imperfect-perfect game.

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 6.2.14: WWE Payback

Welcome to a very special "Special Event" recap on this Monday afternoon edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon. Last night, WWE held their "special event" entitled Payback, live at The Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Being near Chicago, I'm sure you can imagine how many "CM Punk" chants were heard throughout the night. He's retired and he's not coming back fans, time to face that realization.

Any who, let's get the recap started shall we?

"Hair vs Mask Match": Hornswoggle vs El Torito. El Torito picked up the pin in the preshow match. El Torito hits a moonsault on Hornswoggle to score the pin. Hornswoggle gets held down in a barber chair by Los Matadores and gets his head shaved by El Torito.

"United States Championship Match": Sheamus (c) vs Cesaro. Before the match Paul Heyman angers the rowdy Chicago crowd by telling them CM Punk isn't here and that he is across town at the Blackhawks hockey game instead. The match ends with Cesaro swinging Sheamus but gets small packaged unexpectedly by Sheamus afterwards for the pin. Sheamus retains the U.S.Title.

The Rhodes Brothers vs Curtis Axel and Ryback. Cody goes for the "Disaster Kick" on Ryback, Ryback catches Cody and hits "Shell Shock" for the pin. After the match Cody tells Goldust that maybe it's best that Goldust finds a new tag team partner.

Rusev vs Big E. We have a flag off before the match starts, as Big E and Rusev wave their flags back and forth. Big E hit an awesome spear right through the second ropes on Rusev sending both men crashing to the floor, mid match. Rusev takes Big E's head off with a side kick and locks in "The Accolade" for the submission victory.

Bo Dallas vs Kofi Kingston. Match never happens as Kane arrives and choke slammed then tombstone piledrives Kofi. Bo Dallas tells Kofi that he'll be back on his feet in no time as long as he "Bo-Lieves".

"WWE Intercontinental Title Match" Bad News Barrett (c) vs. Rob Van Dam. RVD misses the "Five Star Frog Splash". Barrett misses the "Bullhammer" and instead connects with the ring post. Barrett fights off the pain and connects with the second attempt at the "Bullhammer", scoring the pin and retaining the I-C Title.

Stephanie McMahon arrives to make Daniel Bryan make his announcement on if he's forfeiting the title or Brie Bella being fired. Another "CM Punk" chant erupts. Steph tells Bryan that even the fans want to see him quit like CM Punk did. Daniel is about to hand over the titles and save Brie's job when Brie stops Daniel from forfeiting, quits the company then slaps Stephanie right in the face. Steph runs to the back, humiliated. Daniel Bryan apparently still remains as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

"Last Man Standing Match": Bray Wyatt vs John Cena. This match was all out chaos. Before the match The Wyatts surround Cena until The Usos hit the ring to back up Cena. Bray and Cena finally go one on one as the bell sounded. Chairs, the ring steps and tables get involved. The Usos and Wyatts brawl. Cena gets suplexed through a table, Bray gets hit in the face with the ring steps. We see The Usos go airbourne over the ropes on the Wyatts, taking them out. Luke Harper's massive frame even suicide dives through the ropes taking out The Usos. The Wyatts and The Usos put each other through tables. Cena hits "AA" on Bray the floor. Bray puts Cena through the barricade with a spear. Cena picks up the win by hitting "AA" on Bray right through a large tv production case, throws another production case on top and stands on it causing Bray to not be able to get up before a ten count.

"WWE Divas Title Match": Paige (c) vs. Alicia Fox. Paige defeats Fox by submission to retain the title. Fox flips out and runs to the back as the fans chanted "You tapped out".

"No Holds Barred Elimination Match": The Shield vs. Evolution. "Bluetista" began trending on Twitter. Look up Batista's ring gear from tonight and you'll see why. Both factions brawl throughout the arena to kick off the match. This match was an all out war throughout the whole thing. Evolution triple powerbombed Reigns through the announcers table. Evolution dismantled Rollins and Ambrose on the floor. We seen Orton DDT Rollins on the floor and Ambrose get back body dropped on a steel chair. Evolution surround Reigns in the ring and take turns caning him on his bare back. Reigns then takes repeated chair shots to the back. The action returns to the entrance ramp where Ambrose jumps all three Evolution members till getting beat down. Rollins leaps off the top of the stage prop below the titantron taking out all of Evolution. We're eventually back in the ring where a seriously wounded Shield pull a trifecta of pins to win the match. Reigns speared Batista allowing Rollins to score the pin, Ambrose reverse DDT's Orton onto a steel chair for the pin and after Triple H nails Ambrose with his sledgehammer, Triple H gets nailed with a Rollins top rope knee then gets speared by Reigns for the final pin to win the match. The Shield barely able to stand, celebrate as Payback comes to an end.

And that wraps up the pay per view. My opinion Bray Wyatt vs John Cena and The Shield vs Evolution were matches of the night. I'll be back Tuesday with the RAW recap. Till then tap or snap.

Leadoff with Lee 6.2.14

-Michael Bourn brought his broom and the Indians got a sweep! Michael Bourn hit his first walk off homerun of his career to give the Tribe a 6-4 win over the Rockies. The hit came in the bottom of the 9th with 1 on and 1 out, off of Adam Ottavino. Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin had a quality start going 5 2/3 innings, giving up only 2 earned runs while recording a career best 8 strikeouts. Despite the solid start by Tomlin, reliever Scott Atchison got the win for the Tribe. Josh Tomlin has been on fire his last 5 starts and has a 3.06 era and at least 6 strikeouts. Tomlin's pitch count got to him as he was over 100 pitches in the 6th inning. The Tribe are now on a 3 game winning streak with the day off tomorrow. They open a series at home Tuesday against Terry Francona's former team, the Boston Red Sox. Cleveland Browns running back Ben Tate will throw out the first pitch.

-The Florida Gators advanced to the National Championship of the Women's College World Series with a 6-3 win over Baylor. This will be Floridas 3rd trip to the WCWS They will face Alabama tonight at 8 PM on ESPN 2!

-With Alabama's 2-0 win over Oregon yesterday, they have set up the first all SEC WCWS championship. The first of the best out of 3 games will be shown at ESPN2 at 8pm. This will be Alabama's 2nd trip in 3 years to the WCWS.

-Over in the NHL, the L.A. Kings outlasted the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 7, 5-4 in overtime. The Kings will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday.

-The Indians got their second straight win against the Rockies yesterday afternoon with a 7-6 victory. The bat of Mike Aviles was on fire yesterday as he drove in four runs. Aviles hit a 3-run homerun in the second inning and then followed it up with a single in the eighth inning to break the 6-6 tie for the game winning run. Lonnie Chisenhall's bat continued to cooperate, letting him go 2-3 with a homerun and 3 RBI's. Trevor Bauer got the start for the Tribe, but pitched a no decision after having a 4-0 lead at the end of the second inning. Bauer did have a good outing going 6 innings, striking out 8 and allowing 2 runs on 4 hits. Bryan Shaw came in as the setup man, pitching 2 1/3 innings and Cody Allen pitched the 9th inning for his 3rd save of the season. The Indians will be back on the diamond this afternoon to close out the set versus the Rockies at 1:05. Josh Tomlin is expected to get the start.

-"How ya doing Johnny?" Johnny Manziel and fellow first round pick Justin Gilbert will throw out the first pitches at Wednesday's Tribe game against the Boston Red Sox. Running back Ben Tate will throw out his first pitch a day prior on Tuesday. It's about time that the Browns and Indians P.R. departments got together to unite the fan bases.

-More of Johnny. He was in L.A. this weekend for the trading card company, Topps, taking pictures for his football card and signing autograph inserts. Best believe this is going to be the most sought after card on the market this year.

-Despite Russell Westbrook's epic 34 point, 8 assist, 6 steal, 7 rebound game, that was not enough to overcome the Spurs. San Antonio closed out the Western Conference Finals with a 112-107 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, in overtime. Spurs point guard Tony Parker missed the entire second half of the game with ankle soreness, that was seen during pre-game warmups. Boris Diaw led the Spurs with 26 points and Tim Duncan contributed 15 in his effort. The Spurs will have a rematch of last year's NBA Finals against the Miami Heat which will start Thursday on ABC.

-I will also be covering the Women's College World Series on Tuesday, June 2nd. If you haven't been watching, you don't know what you have been missing!
