TNA Impact Wrestling Review: Results and Analysis for January 5
By Dj Beal
Swoggle Backstage
Swoggle gets questioned by the Hardys to make sure that he wasn’t sent by his “father” Meekmahan. Does this mean that Swoggle is a full-time member of the roster or simply for nostalgia?
Rockstar Spud vs Swoggle
Result: Swoggle def. Spud via pinfall
Swoggle is back in the ring for the first time since the WeeLC match against El Torito. Spud continues to belittle and gets the first blow. Swoggle fights back with a spear followed by a german suplex. Spud’s 2017 streak is over before it begins as Swoggle ends the match with the Celtic Cross. Spud is upset at being overlooked and quits.
Mike Bennett issues a challenge to Moose for an anything goes match at the pay-per-view and of course Moose accepts.
Eli Drake Can Talk Again
Drake planning on making trends and history with Fact of Life in 2017. He calls out the Broken Hardys who are popular in the Impact Zone even King Maxel gets a chant. Eli Drake gives credit to Total Nonstop Deletion but points out that he wasn’t invited. He claims that the Hardys are lucky that he didn’t turn TND into Total Nonstop Dummy. Drake wants a title shot with a partner of his choosing at One Night Only. No cheap shot for Drake as the Hardys leave Eli Drake stunned in the ring.
