By Dj Beal
1. OVE and LAX Look to End It in a Massacre
It could be described as one of the best rivalries of the year in Impact Wrestling from a year ago. Ohio Versus Everything and the Latin American Xchange has been as personal as any could be. The build to this feud has been amazing considering these groups have no prior history with one another. Tonight, they saw a Barbed Wire Massacre that could be the end of both of these teams.
Everyone is being careful to dodge the barbed wire in this match as Ortiz does just that with a dive to the outside. Homicide and Sami Callahan had a battle with forks in the middle of a barbed wire fenced ring. The veteran member of LAX, Homicide was the first to meet the barbed wire fate. As OVE gained control early, they make sure to use the barbed wire to their advantage. This match went back and forth early as Santana is introduced to a barbed wire board.

This match was simply brutal as is to be expected with a ring surrounded by barbed wire. it wasn’t just that in play also, tables, and chairs to help show how many ways it could be used. Homicide takes an entire side of the barbed wire down but Jake Crist fell victim to the same result. This match was a highlight reel of brutality neither team could give up. Not even a tombstone onto a chair wrapped in barbed wire would signal the end. Both teams took tons of damage but in the end the barbecue skewers to the forehead on top of superplex from a ladder that sent wood flying everywhere. LAX wins this massacre and put a stamp on this personal rivalry.
